Notes: Happy holidays! I've been toying with returning to the world I built in The Best Thing for ages – there's a small piece of the story that I actually wrote a year ago. I don't know if I would ever do a full-fledged sequel, but it was lovely to visit the world again. Last year I wrote another epilogue for All I Want For Christmas, so I figured it would be fun to visit another story.
The Best Thing didn't have an epilogue initially because I didn't really know what I wanted for their future. This was written two years after I finished the story (almost three actually.)
It's set four years after the close of Chapter Thirty-Four. I hope you guys like this!

Morgan Home: Living Room
The room looked as if a several bags of glitter and tinsel had exploded in the alcove where the Morgan family kept their tree. The two eldest Morgan children had dived into their mother's box of Christmas decorations and discovered a container of tinsel that she had forgotten to remove before they arrived home from preschool that day.
Elizabeth Morgan had merely turned her back to set her youngest son, Jake, in a playpen and give him his stuffed elephant—clearly forgetting the first rule of Christmas decorating with small children. She could already hear maniacal giggles from the alcove, and when she turned back to assess the situation—
Four-year-old Evangeline already had strands of tinsel streaking through her coal-black curls while four-year-old Cameron was throwing the tinsel at their pine tree—the tree that had no other decorations yet. It had been waiting for their father's return from an unexpected business trip.
"Evangeline Samantha Morgan."
Evie blinked at her, her caramel colored eyes round with wide-eyed innocence. "Mommy, it's not my fault." She jabbed a chubby finger at her brother. "He went into the box."
"You opened the tinsy!" Cam shot back with a dark scowl.
"Cameron Hardy Morgan."
Cam heaved a heavy sigh, then turned his own angelic expression in her direction. "I miss Daddy," he declared, then his lower lip trembled just a little.
Elizabeth arched a brow. "I invented that look."
The sadness vanished from Cam's eyes and the scowl returned. "Evie made me do it."
She sighed when eighteen-month-old Jake began to wail behind her. He hated being in the playpen, and she could already hear him throwing toys. One—a plastic car—sailed from behind her and hit Evie in the cheek. She shrieked and went for her brother.
Elizabeth stopped her advance, sweeping the little girl up in her arms, ignoring the outrage shrieks and kicks as she dropped her daughter on the sofa.
"It's not fair!" Evie screamed.
"Mommy!" Cam dived for cover as another one of Jake's toys careened past him, hitting the tree.
"Daddy!" Jake wailed.
"Oh, man." Elizabeth sat in her grandfather's old arm chair and put her head in her hands. Why—why—had she offered Nora the month of December off?
The playpen shook with an ominous rattle as Jake's chubby fists wrapped around the top edge and he frantically tried to climb out. He managed to lift himself part of the way over the metal rail, but he couldn't quite get the leverage to haul himself completely over the top—
So, he slid back down, threw back his head, and wailed at the top of his lungs. Evie started crying, pressing her hands over her ears, and Cameron—because he clearly didn't think his mother was paying attention to him anymore—started tossing some more tinsel at their bare tree.
She only put Jake in there to have five minutes when the kids got home from school—so she could distract them—and then Jake could run free—but of course, he was only a toddler who didn't understand that mothers needed to breathe.
Elizabeth took a deep breath, then started to reach for her youngest child. One kid at a time—and the tinsel was the least of her worries.
The door was pushed open then, sweeping in the brittle December wind and a bit of the snowflakes that had been gently falling for several hours. Jason stepped over the threshold and was immediately tackled by her eldest children who could run—
Jake rolled, kicked, and wiggled until Elizabeth released him. Jason grabbed Jake and in his own way—managed to hug all three of them at the same time without giving one any extra attention. There were days when he made parenting look so easy, she wanted to murder him.
"Hey," he said, as he crossed the room, dragging Evie and Cam who were both attached to a leg. He leaned over the top of Jake's head and kissed her, his lips cold and his breath holding the scent of coffee. She'd missed him—
They hadn't been separated for two weeks since—since never, Elizabeth realized. Since they had started dating at Nikolas and Emily's wedding four years earlier—their longest time apart had been that terrible week after her grandmother's death and Sonny's psychotic break.
"I missed you," she murmured against his lips. "How was the island?"
Jason hesitated, then sighed. "We'll talk about it later," he said. He kissed her again. "Why was everyone crying when I—" He blinked at the tree, the bottom half of which was only decorated with tinsel before looking down at his two children—Evie with tinsel in her hair and Cam with tinsel sticking out of the collar of his green sweater. "We got into Mommy's Christmas box, huh?"
As Cam and Evie launched into elaborate defenses of themselves, Jason looked at his wife with a light in his eye that told her he was struggling not to laugh. For the moment, her own irritation and exhaustion lifted, and she started to laugh.
Later that evening, after they had cleaned up the tinsel, fed the children dinner, and decorated the tree properly, Jason took the boys to their room to sleep while Elizabeth tucked in Evie.
"Tell me my special story, Mommy."
Elizabeth stroked her daughter's dark, almost coal-black curls with a sad smile Evie couldn't see. "Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess named Samantha who was about to become a mommy. She loved her little girl so much and would have done anything to keep her safe. But then she got really sick."
"And she could only hold me for a minute," Evie said, the words as familiar her own name. "So, she held me tight."
"And she made so many wishes for you. To be safe, to be happy, to be smart. To have a good life." Elizabeth's throat tightened slightly. "She gave you to the best man she knew—"
"That's right." Elizabeth smiled, stroking Evie's cheek. "He promised your birth parents that he would love you so much and keep all their promises for them."
"And then Daddy fell in love with you," Evie said, rolling on her back. "And you became my Mommy, and you gave me a brother."
"An older brother," Elizabeth corrected softly. "Because they're annoying and irritating, but no one loves and protects like an older brother."
"And now we gots Jake."
"And now we have Jake," she repeated. "And I know you and Cam will take care of him the way you take care of each other."
Evie rolled over again and smiled at the two frames on her night table. One, a photo of her biological mother, Sam McCall, and the other, a picture of her adopted parents on their wedding day. "Night, Birth Mommy. And we live happy ever after."
"Like all good fairy tales." Elizabeth leaned over and kissed her cheek.
She met Jason in the hallway and raised an eyebrow. "Are they both asleep already?"
"Jake is, but I let Cameron watch Ghostbusters again. I'll check on him in an hour." He followed her downstairs and they settled themselves on the sofa in front of the fireplace and their twinkling Christmas tree.
"Evie asked for her story again tonight," Elizabeth said. She leaned into Jason's embrace, luxuriating in the warmth and comfort she found in him, even after all these years. She needed these quiet moments at the end of the evening when she and Jason regrouped, compared notes, and prepared for the next day.
It hadn't been easy finding the rhythm of having three small children with two active careers of their own, and the surprise of Jake had complicated things for a time, but their world had eventually balanced out. Cam and Evie had started school this year and it was a bit easier—
Until the call had come a few weeks earlier and Jason had had to leave in the middle of the night for the island.
"She's been asking for it a lot the last few months," Jason murmured. He sighed. "Is she not getting along with Cam? She doesn't feel like she's part of—"
"No, I think she likes it. It makes her special, and she knows she's adopted." Elizabeth bit her lip. "Cam's teacher asked about that—about why they're so close in age. I told her what we tell everyone—we each brought a child to our marriage, but I worry sometimes—"
"Evie's ours," Jason told her. The adoption had begun in earnest six months after Sonny had been sent to the island and completed almost two years earlier. "We don't—"
"Evie's always known she's adopted. We made it special for her. And she has pictures of Sam on her nightstand." Elizabeth sat up and twisted to look at him. "But Cameron—I don't think he realizes it. And the reason the teacher asked about their ages—" She sighed. "He looks like you. He got my sister's blond hair—and my blue eyes. He has no memory of anyone but you."
"And making Evie's adoption special—you think it'll bother Cam when he gets older that he doesn't have that story about Zander." Jason wrinkled his nose. "Do—should we talk to him—"
"I don't know if I can give Zander's story a fairy tale twist. Sam died giving Evie life—with her last dying breath, she was thinking of her little girl. But Zander—" Elizabeth twisted her wedding ring on her finger. "I don't want to erase Zander from his life. It's not fair. I just—I never want Cam to feel like he didn't deserve the kind of story Evie has."
"If we wait until he's old enough," Jason said, after a moment, "we can tell Cam and Evie about Zander and Sonny at the same time. They both have biological fathers who were troubled—who won't play—" He grimaced.
Elizabeth pressed her hand against his chest. "It didn't go well did it?" she murmured. "Was it like last time?"
Since going to the island, Sonny's recovery had been uneven. He went through doctors and medication like candy, and at least twice a year, Jason had gone to do damage control. Unlike a lot of people living with bipolar disorder, Sonny didn't seem to be able to stay lucid and in control for very long.
It was a vicious cycle—he would be clear and sane for months before thinking he was cured. He'd stop taking his medications—then crash. He had had another psychotic break the year before, and he'd made it as far as the private airport to fly back to Port Charles.
The dream they'd once pictured of Sonny recovering enough to be part of their lives—to know his daughter, to rebuild a relationship with his sons—every year that passed, it seemed further away.
"This time the doctor argued with me about keeping him out of Port Charles," Jason said. He leaned his head against the back of the sofa, his eyes looking toward the ceiling. "He seems to think the reason Sonny hasn't been able to get a balance is that we've take him out of his natural environment."
"Didn't you tell him the last time Sonny had a break in Port Charles, he nearly killed you? That he sent men with guns after two babies?" Elizabeth demanded. "We've talked about this, Jason. Sonny can't come back."
"I know." Jason closed his eyes, swallowed hard, before straightening and looking at her. In the dim firelight, she could see the anguish in his expression. "I'm doing the right thing for you and me. For the kids. For everyone who lives in Port Charles."
"But not for Sonny." And he wouldn't be the man she loved if the decision didn't weigh on him. In so many ways, their lives would have been easier if Sonny had died all those years ago—if Jason had let Sonny kill himself.
"I don't know what to do. I don't know how make it better. If he came back—" Jason shook his head. "Would he always understand that he can't be in control? Would he be satisfied with part of the life he had before? Is that even a risk I want to take?"
Elizabeth reached for his hand, tracing her fingers over the lines in his palm, over the gold ring on his fourth finger. In sick and in health, for better or for worse—
She'd made those promises to him. Had promised to love and cherish him. And in her own mind, she had made different vows—silent ones.
She had promised that her face would never change, and that she would always do what was needed to be Jason Morgan's wife.
"How did you leave it?" she asked. "What was Sonny like?"
"He didn't have another break, and he's back on his medicine." Jason looked at her wary eyes. "Why?"
"If it weren't for me and the kids, you would have brought him home years ago," Elizabeth said. "I know that. It's me that's holding you back."
"No—" Jason shook his head. "No. It's not just that. That last break here—it wasn't just what he did here in this house—" Sending armed guards to steal Evie by force, not even caring that Elizabeth had only just lost her grandmother—that her son was in this room—
"It's what he did to Carly. She won't let him have a relationship with the boys. Still. And I don't blame her for that." Jason swallowed hard. "We decided together that Sonny had to stay—"
"It's me that's holding you back." Elizabeth repeated. "And there are times when I look at Evie, and I see Sonny. I see him the way I remember him. The way I loved him once. That last night—at my engagement party—that man—I want that man back. And maybe the doctor's right." She bit her lip. "Maybe he doesn't feel like he needs to stay on the medicine because he's alone down there."
"I'm not saying he should come home full-time," Elizabeth interrupted. "But—maybe it's time we took the kids down to the island. Maybe it's time Sonny met Evie and we reminded him that he's not alone."
Jason's shoulders slumped, and he just stared at her for a long moment before shaking his head. "I can't ask you to do that—"
"You're not asking me. I'm offering. You weren't the only one who lost Sonny. Evie lost her father. Courtney lost her brother. I lost a friend. I refuse—" She shook her head, resolute now. "I refuse to believe that the man we loved is lost forever. What happened—it was traumatizing, and we've had to dig out of it. But I can't sit here, celebrating Christmas with the people I love most in the world and not feel guilty that the only reason Sonny is alone right now is because of an illness that he can't control."
Tears welled behind her eyes and she sucked in a deep, shuddering breath. "We've been punishing him, scared of what might happen if he came home. You saved his life four years ago, Jason, but we sentenced him to live in prison anyway. I can't live with it anymore. I can't ask you to keep doing it—to keep being the bad guy who has to go down there and tell Sonny he can't come home."
"He told me this last time that I should have let him put the bullet in his head," Jason said after a long moment of silence, the crackling fire the only sound in the room. "That he's just a ghost I wouldn't let go."
"We promised each other at the start," Elizabeth said as he pulled her across his lap, "that Sonny was something we would deal with together. You—the kids—this is everything I ever wanted in my life. There are days that I am so happy that I actually cry because I never thought I would deserve this." She framed his beloved face with her hands. "We have a good life, Jason, but I don't think I can live with myself knowing it came at Sonny's expense. We sacrificed him to have it. And I don't want to do it anymore."
Jason leaned forward, brushing his lips against hers. "The way you love—the courage—" He shook his head. "I don't have the words."
"Every time Evie asks me her special story, I tell her about her mother that gave her away to best man she knew. I want Evie to know that her father loved just as much. We need to do this. For each other. For her. And for Sonny."
"I'll call tomorrow and make the arrangements." He tucked her hair behind her eyes, his eyes on hers. "I remember the day I saw you again—when you came home. I was sitting on the docks, feeling more tired than I could ever remember."
She tilted her head and smiled. "And I nagged you into telling me the truth—"
"That's not how I remember it." He shook his head, his own smile spreading. "You came down the steps, and you smiled at me. And by the time you left, I couldn't remember why I was so tired. I just wanted to keep looking at you."
"When we sat together, and I poked at you about Evie—I did it partly because I was hoping—" She bit her lip, sliding her fingers through his soft blond hair. "I was hoping you wouldn't lie to me. And when you didn't—I felt all those old butterflies. I just wanted to sit on that bench and talk to you for the rest of my life."
"Thank you for coming home," Jason murmured. "For not staying in San Francisco. For giving us another chance."
"I couldn't stay away," Elizabeth replied. "I'd miss the smell of snow too much."
He laughed. "Snow doesn't smell," he teased.
"Yes, it does," she murmured, leaning down to kiss him again.

This morning we went for a walk around St Clair, ending up at Second Beach where we watched surfers, kayakers and paddle boarders all enjoying the balmy morning. And look what I found on our wanderings – another letterbox to add to my collection, my photographic collection that is!
I've been preoccupied this month with poetry but not specifically Poems in the Waiting Room. I've met the deadlines, just, and sent my own poems off to three publications. We attended the launch of Deep South 2013 at the University Bookshop. On Friday night we went to a brilliant concert featuring the Irish singer/songwriter Damien Dempsey . He has a huge voice, powerful lyrics, and to my ears, he's a poet.
A Palette of Poetry has been consuming my time as well. My application for funding assistance is away ( please cross toes and fingers) and I've been slowly gathering artists. Keep an eye on that blog as I'm hoping to profile some more artists in April.
The Poems in the Waiting Room Competition results should be back to me by mid April so as soon as I know I'll let the winners know and then publicise it right here.
A couple of months ago I came up with an idea and it just wouldn't go away. So I let it out of my head and into the wide world ( well I told two people!) and now I'm about to start a new project. All very exciting – I'll reveal more in a week or two!

Clean Sweep
VEX Clean Sweep is played on a 12'x12' square field configured as seen above. Two alliances – one "red" and one "blue" – composed of two teams each, compete in matches consisting of a twenty-second autonomous period followed by two minutes of driver-controlled play. The object of the game is to attain a higher score than your opponent's alliance by moving as many balls as possible onto their side of the field and by "locking up" small balls in the triangular goals. A bonus is awarded to the alliance that has the most total points at the end of the Autonomous Period.

2009 / 2010 VEX Season Recap
After an impressive showing at the World Championships the year before, Simbotics looked to sustain their impressive VEX program and continue their success. With the program allowing multiple teams per school Simbotics decided to further take advantage by creating a stepladder system to the FRC program. Team 1114 introduced seven different VRC robots for the 2009/10 season. After two very successful competitions and two gold medals, team 1114 once again had two teams qualify for the World Championships in Dallas, Texas. With some rough qualifying matches both teams ended up in the eliminations. 1114Z finished as quarter-finalists and 1114A as finalists. All in all it was a very successful year for Simbotics.

1 year of investing at Mintos
It has been 1 year since I started investing at Mintos. Time is going so fast, it is hard to keep track of everything that is going on.
Lower returns
Throughout 2017, we saw plenty of loans with interest rates between 13% and 15%. In July 2018, you'll only see Mogo and GetBucks offering loans of 13% or above at the time of writing. But the problem is you won't actually get paid too when the loans are in 'Grace' status or when they are bought back after 60 days. So the actual returns are more likely to be closer to 11% before tax in the best scenario.
The interest rates offered on loans are also directly infuenced by possible cashback campaigns that are going on, so if you're not participating in a cashback campaign, it may actually be smarter to simply invest in short-term loans at Mintos. Right now I'm seeing plenty of short-term loans available with an interest rate of 10.5%. These are all from loan originators that still pay interest when the loans are bought back after 60 days of being late. The strategy behind this is that I am hoping that interest rates will increase after the diversification cashback campaign, because now all loans are being invested in anyways, so why offer high interest rates? Basically it is simple economics, which can be terribly annoying. To some degree, this makes mintos also feel slightly volatile in terms of returns.
If you're interested returns, you could still expose to currencies like the Georgian Lari or Russian Rouble and enjoy 17% or 18%. But make sure you buy at the right time.
Loan originators look for alternative funding
Mogo will start issuing bonds (XS1831877755) on July 11, 2018. They have a nice interest rate of 9.5%, which is a lot for bonds. Now these are taxed at 10% in Belgium, bringing the net return somewhat at the same level as if you were to invest in actual loans of which the interest rates are taxed at 30%. So if this works out for you, I would suggest diversify investing in their bonds and their loans.
There is some controversy about this in the community, as investors think that Mogo is planning to move away from peer to peer lending and switch to bonds instead. Which makes total sense from their perspective. Their previous bond was issued at a 10% interest rate, so I don't see returns dropping below 9.5-10% any time soon if this trend continues. Depending on your taxation laws, the Mogo Bonds could make an interesting asset to your portfolio.
Cashback campaigns
We've seen cashback campaigns from December 2017 till June 2018. It was all fun while it lasted. GetBucks, Lendo and Mogo were the only loan originator that gave cashback in long-term loans. Mintos pays the cashback after 6 working days of investing. What I really liked about the cashback campaigns is that they were not taxed in Belgium, so I went on a rampage and invested half my portfolio in Mogo. It allowed me to quickly earn a lot of money. With Mogo issuing bonds right now, I am lucky that most of the loans are being bought back already.

The parent company of GetBucks isn't doing so well financially. However, SimplyWallSt expects it may turn profit soon. What's also troubling is that they have a new CEO since April. Their loan portfolio is performing relatively well with only 7% defaults according to their numbers. If everything goes well in the next few months or years, their stock (FRA:MBC) might be a good deal at this moment if you like to speculate. If they do manage to turn profit by the end of the year, the value of their stock could double.
My current strategies
With interest rates continuously lowering for the Euro, offerings in Georgian Lari still remained at a stable 17-18%. It still remains to be seen if the EUR/GEL pair remains stable at 2.86. I expect the Georgian Lari to appreciate further throughout 2018 and 2019. With returns already being 50% higher on average than the Euro, this is a must have in your portfolio.
This has also brought me to buying Russian Roubles, however, this currency has been depreciating in the past decade, it also offers returns of 17-18%. In the meantime, I am exposing 10% of my portfolio to Georgian Lari, 5% to Russian Rouble and roughly 85% in Euro.
Mintos appears to be an overall stable platform with no cash drag. They introduce new features every now and then and listen to the community. Their support team is very approachable and present in forums or social media communities. I plan on keep using them at least for another year and will re-evaluate them again in 2019. The only thing I hate right now is the presence of bots on the market and the sudden decline in interest rates offered for all the loans. All things considered, Mintos is probably the leading peer to peer lending platform in the world right now.

Overcoming Complex Challenges in Procuring and Managing Contingent Labor
The process of requesting a single temporary worker used to be fairly straightforward. You picked up the phone, explained your requirements to a Snelling staffing representative, and received a qualified worker who was ready to perform.
Today, neither staffing requirements nor the staffing process are simple. Globalization and the economic downturn in the U.S. have increased many organizations' reliance on contingent labor. However, the make-up of this workforce has changed also; it now encompasses a full range of non-permanent, external staff – from temporary workers to independent contractors to freelancers – across different labor types, covering many different job functions. As a result, HR and other procurement professionals face immense pressure to efficiently manage staffing functions and make the process cost-effective.
The stakes are high. According to a recent Workforce.com article, by Seth Wolins, securing those contingent workers can account anywhere from 30-60% of a Fortune 1000 company's expenditures. Therefore, securing a qualified, reliable contingent workforce is (obviously) a substantial business expense, in both percentages and hard dollars. However, as with all large expenditures, comes considerable opportunity for savings. With the right strategies in place, it is possible for companies (of all sizes) to decrease the total cost of their contingent workforce while maintaining (or increasing) the quality of that same workforce.
A streamlined approach to procuring and managing contingent labor is the answer to effectively and efficiently manage an ever-growing group of contingent workers. Organizations that successfully standardize and automate staffing processes save significant time and money (10% on average, according to the same Workforce.com article), while reducing liability. Consider these best-practice ideas:
1. Define a comprehensive labor strategy. This should identify the mission-critical roles within your organization, the intended outcome for your talent management process, the parameters set around different labor types utilized, and the projected financial impact of various scenarios (such as bad hires, decreased demand, expense increases, etc.)
- Focus efforts on prioritizing contingent staffing spending areas. Where do you spend the most (e.g., production, administration, IT)? Identify the departments within your company that use it most. Focus our improvement efforts on these areas first in order to receive the largest initial return on investment.
- Identify and establish key contingent labor management roles. In many companies there is confusion in who owns the contingent labor strategy. Is it procurement, which is usually concerned with price and volume, or HR, which usually focuses on quality of hire. Establish working relations with the various departments that will be involved in the overall process and be sure everyone has a full understanding of each other's roles and responsibilities.
2. Obtain senior executive buy-in. Before starting any streamlining or automation initiative, present your ideas to senior management and quantify the potential savings. Securing management's buy-in will help ensure changes are properly implemented at all levels within your company.
3. Enforce your staffing policies. Once you have your staffing policy in place, do not manage by exception. A good staffing policy will have most (if not all) eventualities taken into account, so dispensations need not occur.
- Enforce preferred staffing provider selections to reduce unwanted spending with unapproved suppliers. Sometimes, individual hiring managers try to manage their own contingent workforce needs. Because of this, ad hoc pricing and redundant vendor relationships exist within the same organization, leading to huge losses in time and money
- Capture discounts and early payment rebates and continually look for additional savings opportunities.
- Minimize your noncompliance risks by automating controls for operational and safety policies and HR laws. Controls include tenure rules, on- and off-boarding requirements, certifications, safety prerequisites and diversity standards.
- Make sure temporary workers are categorized correctly. Both the IRS and state agencies are redoubling efforts to uncover miscategorized temporary/contingent workers, all in order to ensure appropriate employment taxes are paid. Head-off potential problems by critically reviewing the ways you categorize employees, and, if you need assistance, Snelling is available to help.
4. Work with a staffing partner you can trust. Given the opportunity, Snelling can help you develop a more efficient approach to procuring and managing your contingent workforce. With offices from coast to coast, and a full range of workforce solutions, we can help you use staffing strategically to control costs, reduce risks, increase flexibility and streamline your staffing function. What can Snelling do for your business? I invite you to contact your local Snelling office today.

ShortCuts is a weekly broadcast wherein IBM experts answer questions sent in by end users. The format reminds me of the famous line I'm listening in the 1990s comedy, Frasier. I wonder if the "I'm listening" line was the genesis of the "ShortCuts" logo . If listening to a podcast isn't your thing, a .pdf transcript can also be downloaded. I really like this format. It talks to the user in a manner that is not intimidating or markety. As one user comments:

Framed excerpt
An offer I couldn't refuse
"Sweetheart, it's Robert," my mother caught my attention, holding the phone towards me. "He wants to speak with you." What did he want? I traded my glass for the phone.
Robert Walters was the investigator responsible for uncovering the evidence that got me released from prison. He's a very nice man and also one of the founding members of the Christian Advocates for Justice Enterprise—CAJE—a non-profit organization. CAJE was staffed by mostly retired lawyers and police detectives, who advocated in many different ways for the rights of those behind bars. CAJE was also negotiating a settlement with the city of Toronto for my wrongful conviction, though last I heard, negotiations were not going well since many there believed I'd simply been released on a technicality. Maybe things had turned around.
"Good morning, Robert. You're up and at 'em nice and early today," I spoke into the receiver. Robert, I found out after a few minutes, wasn't calling about the settlement money that I'd use to pay my mother back for all her sacrifices on my behalf.
"Of course, I'm familiar with the Connelly case," I responded. I'd followed the nationally-covered case like everyone else in the country. I'd shared the headlines with Amy Connelly for the past week. One woman goes free while the other went missing. "Penticton is a small city. Murders don't happen here every day."
Then he shocked me by asking for my help. "Reggie, would you look into the case for CAJE?"
Me? I just got out of prison. I'm barely functioning out here. "I'm no longer a cop," I protested. "I don't think I'm the right person for this." Even as the words tumbled from my mouth, I realized that I wouldn't be able to say no. How could I say no to the organization that was responsible for the very freedom I was learning to enjoy once again? CAJE believed in my innocence when no one else would listen. Well, them and my mother. God bless my mom, who hadn't given up on me for even a second. I smiled over at her as Robert tried to convince me to get involved. The much too innocent look on her face told me she knew what the call was about.
"I'll look into it," I relented, while being certain there'd be very little I could do. From what I'd read in the papers and seen on the news, the case against Stan Connelly was solid. Despite the lack of a body, forensics had discovered evidence of blood in the Connelly kitchen and on the deck of their boat. The DNA findings had confirmed that the blood belonged to Amy Connelly. Things didn't look good for Stan, but he steadfastly claimed to be innocent.

"Add salt to taste" may be 1g per 100g or 2g per 100g, nobody knows. On the other hand, if the recipe is formulated along the lines of "adding NaCl to H2O such as to obtain a mixture having NaCl concentration between 1 and 2 percent by weight NaCl, heating the mixture to a temperature between 90 °C and a boiling point of the mixture, and holding the mixture at the temperature for a duration of up to 11 min", we are clearly in the territory of technical protection rights, i.e. email@example.com

Electricians Tools
A good electrician has a toolbox that contains tools that cover every eventuality. Tool manufacturers create smart new tools for specific situations, but it is not necessary to buy every new device that comes onto the market.
What follows is a selection of tools that will cover the majority of eventualities.
Testers and Meters – sometimes referred to as multi-meters or multi-testers these smart tools can help to troubleshoot all of the problems that are likely to occur in a domestic situation. They are small devices that can be held in one hand leaving the other free to test connectivity and other electrical qualities. They will measure volts, resistance and amps and more modern Ones can measure conductance and capacitance. Essential kit – don't leave home without one.
Electricians screwdriver – an essential safety item, they come with Phillips or flat head and in a variety of sizes. The insulated handle keeps the electrician safe at all times. They are best purchased in sets, one flat head and one Phillips in a range of sizes. They are available in a variety of colours, but the tone is generally only cosmetic.
Electricians knives – needed for scoring insulation and trimming cables. For many people, a Stanley knife is the perfect tool but be mindful of the UK laws on carrying knives. While it is unlikely that you will fall foul of the law for taking a Stanley Knife you are even less likely to run into trouble if you carry an electrician's knife. They also have the bonus of being designed with safety in mind.
Insulation tape – the familiar black PVC tape is now available in a range of colours that can help an electrician colour code their work.
Socket tools – a type of ratchet wrench that is useful for removing holding nuts and bolts. The ratchet mechanism is a must-have feature because it does make undoing nuts and bolts in confined spaces much more comfortable. Wrenches have been used for delivering torque to tighten up a nut for centuries, but the ratchet mechanism is a relatively recent e innovation. Fist seen in 1863 having been created by an America, J. J Richardson. A set of ratchets can be purchased in a range of sizes with between 16 and 100 additional pieces.
Cable tools – there is a variety of devices that Are designed for handing cables. Cutting, crimping and stripping are made much more comfortable with tools of this type. They can range from lightweight plastic tools to more large gauge cutters and crimpers. The specific tools that are needed will depend entirely on the type of electrical work being undertaken. Experience will soon tell you which cable tools you need to carry.
Pliers – the most basic but essential tool on the list. Pliers are used for handling things that are too small or fiddly to be dealt with by fingers without being dropped. They are also useful for applying extra force to smaller items. Pliers also come with a variety of jaws that are designed for use in specific circumstances such as long-nosed pliers and bull nose pliers.
Mains testers – a mains tester is a valuable safety tool used to see if a socket is live or isolated. They come in a range of sizes, but it is recommended that the most robust one possible is purchased. Care should be taken to avoid cheaper models that are aimed at the DIY market and are not robust enough for professional use.
Immersion heater wrenches – these are round or hexagonal wrenches designed to help remove an immersion heater. You will probably need one of each, and you should look around before you purchase because of therre4 area variety of different designs.
Wire strippers – used, as the name suggests for removing the PVC coverings on electric cables so that the copper can be appropriately connected. A good pair of wire strippers will make your work easier and much quicker so really should be in the top ten tools list.

The main problem for general (or primary) equilibrium in the present, is the lack of a marketplace for time aggregates. Presently, some of life's most important skills exist in secondary, hence partial or incomplete economic settings. Time use concerns can be difficult to measure purely in terms of standard pricing, because money needs to represent all resource value and potential - not just the choices one seeks through time use.
Resource aggregates as a whole are immense, in relation to the finite resource of time. This is why government obligations - divided up as representative of per capita responsibility - seem immense. Even though governments have vast resource capacity, many economic activities now take place at levels surpassing the time value most "mere mortals" hold.
Hence a leap of faith is involved, even given the fiscal capacity Washington holds. Any perceived risk also exists in relation to other risks. In terms of time based support, governments already have quite a few promises to keep. What's more these obligations have increased, relative to a slowdown in growth for broader resource representation. This is why further taxation has little ability to address the underlying problem of a missing marketplace in time value.
So long as an economy grows at a fast pace, it is not difficult for associations representing high skill value, to stake claims existing in relation to the broader equilibrium. But should an economy begin to slow, it can be more difficult to coordinate time use patterns at general equilibrium level. Indeed, the most important monetary functions are called into question, when governments struggle to provide the same services balancing and coordinating functions as before.
Increasingly, it is difficult for price levels to provide reliable markers for time use aggregates in services. Even the question of participation in today's services marketplace is highly politicized. Until now, the most highly valued skills sets were built on decades of preparation, and they needed to be reimbursed on those same terms - not what other economic participants could "afford".
However, those earlier stakes in time use value, left too many economic participants without reliable economic functions. Time as value in personal use, has to be sacrificed for value in personal exchange - when in fact it remains possible to do so. Furthermore, if value in exchange is either missing or insufficient, time value in use no longer retains the same productive dynamic, because it may not be possible to utilize resources other than in consumer context. Most individuals need stable and ongoing relationships with others, in order to utilize resources in any productive capacity.
Only consider that at the beginning of the twentieth century, self employment was still a reality for many individuals. Incentives tended to be internally aligned, even at the level of families which still held similar production goals in common. This was a simpler reality, in which individuals took for granted the ability to transform resources and arbitrage the resulting product. There were reasonably reliable economic gains to be had, when incentive meant getting up early in the morning to undertake activity for economic and personal gain.
Once product became more associated with institutional production, time balance gradually shifted away from both individual and family efforts, as incentives were externalized. With a little luck and a reliable work role, "early risers" continued to benefit from personal effort. However, without a career or ownership stake in a production base, incentive could still gradually be lost.
As the twentieth century progressed, the odds became greater for success in terms of paid employment, rather than production on personal terms. Even though that meant externally aligned incentives (if one didn't "own" some crucial aspect of the job, a day could feel "long"), the tradeoff could mean not worrying about money to pay the bills. Once again, the pendulum is swinging towards a need for internal alignment - even while business formation slows and older firms dominate the national stage. Where to begin?
A marketplace for time use would realign incentive, but many aspects of life would be unrecognizable from a century earlier. To be sure, locals would still coordinate for commonly shared goal sets and activities, just as they once coordinated for agricultural and simpler production activities. The main difference is that services would become the first focus of time alignment, and further production would follow. Using services as a central organizational factor, would allow individuals to rediscover production on the changing terms of automation and 3D printing as well.
By realigning time use within locally acquired resource context, more individuals would have a chance to learn services and production on new terms. Fortunately, individual groups are capable of balancing and coordinating functions which governments should not have to be entirely responsible for. Not everyone needs high pay as the primary incentive for high skill work. How many would choose environments which support high skill levels on simpler terms? It would be interesting indeed, to find out.

Welcome to Yes Tor Class!
Yes Tor is where our learning journey begins. Yes Tor is made up of Pre school and Reception working as one foundation stage. We have a lovely room which allows us to be independent in our learning by having the freedom to choose whether to be inside or out.
Our curriculum is child led meaning that all our learning is based on the children's interests at that moment in time. We have 7 areas of learning which are split in to 2 parts which are the Prime and Specific areas. The Prime areas are Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED), Communication and Language (C&L) and Physical Development (PD). When children have a strong basis of these prime areas our children are able to become well- rounded individuals who have developed a love for learning.
We are always encouraging our children to be as independent as they can be and take ownership of their learning by being resilient, reflective and collaborative amongst their peers.
