Starting a Homemade Pasta Making Business
The first thing that you should know if you are starting a homemade pasta making business is the basic process of making fresh pasta. This kind of pasta is made from fresh ingredients and has a shorter shelf life compared to the commercially made or dry pasta.
Manufacturing fresh pasta is better because the business owner can tailor fit it to the consumer's needs and demands in terms of the shape, size, color and flavor of the finished product.
Below are some suggested steps in starting a homemade pasta making business, categorized into: Initial Stage, Regulatory Compliance and Marketing.
Initial Stage
• Create and perfect your own recipe that you think will sell and will come out the same way every time you prepare it. Have your family and friends taste them and ask for feedback.
• As in any business, when you are starting a homemade pasta making business, prepare a business plan which would contain the goals and business projections that you have set. This will guide you in the actual running of the business and to help you gauge if the business is doing good or not.
• Purchase your ingredients and supplies like bags and packaging supplies. Decide on how you intend to package your homemade pasta. You could pack it in a freezer-safe bag where the consumers can freeze it, refrigerate it or eat it immediately. It could also come in cellophane bags. You could search online for bulk suppliers for these items. You will be able to save money and will help create a professional and consistent look. Design your own labels on your computer and print them out or you could ask a professional designer to create them for you and order your labels in bulk. Make sure to include the cooking and serving instructions in the labels.
• Purchase equipments that you don't already have to make the preparation of large batches of your recipes a lot faster and easier.
• Determine a wholesale price list for all your products. Factor in all the cost that you will be incurring in producing you homemade pasta like the ingredients, facility cost, packaging and labor cost. This should be drawn up in a spreadsheet form which would include the retail as well as bulk prices for each of your product. This information will be useful to your future retailers because it will show the proof of the profit they will be making if they sell your homemade pasta in their stores.
Regulatory Compliance
• Since you will be starting a homemade pasta making business and producing a food product, you need to get in touch with your local and state health departments to inquire about permit and licensing requirements.
• Make sure that you could sell the products that are produced from your home kitchen because different states have different laws regarding homemade food products. These information are available online from your state's Department of Health website or …

Bunga-bunga parties featured a "tested prostitution ring" organised by former Italian Silvio Berlusconi's close friends to "satisfy his sexual pleasure", prosecutors have claimed in court.
The 76-year-old media mogul is accused of underage prostitution and exaction (bribery). At the hearing in Milan, prosecutors described in detail a vice ring, carefully planned by Nicole Minetti, Emilio Fede and Lele Mora, and rejected Berlusconi's claims that the infamous bunga-bunga parties were merely "burlesque contests".
"We will demonstrate the nature of the events organised at the suspect's house with the purpose of appeasing his lust," prosecutor Antonio Sangermano said.
According to the prosecutor, the bunga-bunga nights were divided into three phases: dinner, which included sexual acts between Berlusconi and the girls; the bunga-bunga, which featured provocative dancing and striptease; and, finally, girls staying overnight in Berlusconi's mansion for which they were paid.
For that reasons, girls "were anxious to sleep at Berlusconi's house and competed with each other", he said.
Minetti, a showgirl, played a key role in the parties, selecting the girls and being actively involved in acts of prostitution, the hearing was told.
Berlusconi said at a trial in April 2012 that the parties were "elegant dinners" with an atmosphere of "joy, serenity and conviviality".
He is accused of paying 17-year-old Karima el-Mahroug, aka Ruby the Heart-stealer for sex and of calling a police station, where she was detained on theft charges, to pressurise detectives to release her.
The former Italian prime minister famously claimed that Ruby was deposed Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak's granddaughter and that her detention could have caused a diplomatic rift with Egypt.

Journal52 - Silly Animal Zoo
Journal52's theme - Silly Animal Zoo. As usual I had no idea what to do for this for a while and then had a look through my rubber stamps and found a small lion stamp I have had for years, so attempted to draw a bigger version of him and then water coloured him with Distress Inks.

Journal52 - Top 10 Lists
Here is my J52 page for the theme Top 10 Lists from a couple of weeks ago. Although I do make lists they are fairly boring and not really suitable for journalling so I decided to make a list of the top ten things I like to craft - not necessarily in favourite order although the first 4 are! I used some K & Co tag thingies from my scrapping stash and a nice background stamp of lined notepaper to make this page. I had stamped butterflies and then spotted a couple of scrap butterflies that I hadn't put away from the last time I used my scraps so on they went!

Journal52 - Good Advice
I am now a couple of weeks behind on Journal52 but have today made the Good Advice page. I found a quote which was ideal as it has the words 'good advice' in it and used a couple of Tim's new colour Distress Inks and one of his stencils to make my page.

Commandant is a title that has been used in many organizations across the galaxy. Among those to have used the term, are Klingons, the Kradin, and Humans. Typically, the title is applied to someone who is in charge of a group of personnel, such as an assault force, training faculty, or prison guards.
Starfleet uses the title for the officer in charge of Starfleet Academy, and is known as the Commandant of Starfleet Academy. The Mirror-Starfleet uses this as well, to denote those equivallent to Commander-usually in charge of a starship's platoon for away team missions.

Small futon is becoming increasingly popular in homes because of their ease of movement; many design styles, and their highest functionality. Whether used as a bed, a couch, or both, bolsters of latest manufacturing represent an excellent value for the dollar, especially for smaller boater. Not all futons are the same, though, and careful research is important before you buy to make sure that the futon of your choice is right for you.
If you intend to sleep on futon nightly, pay a little extra money to get the best possible mattress. A good futon mattress designed for daily use as a sleeping platform is at least 8 inches thick and is made of many layers of cotton around a foam core. Many bargains, sold for under $ 200, come with standard mattresses thinner than 8 inches and are inferior to the construction. If you have the opportunity to switch to a better mattress, do it. If futon serves as a bed only occasionally, this additional investment may not be necessary.
Protect your futon mattress with a fitted mattress cover or cover. Futon covers are available in many different colors and patterns. Choose a cover that will not show dirt easily: you will rarely wash a futon cover because they are hard to remove and then restore after cleaning. Choose a cover that stains away stains and fluids and is heavy enough to withstand normal wear and tear. Use standard sheets on your futon when sleeping to protect the mattress cover. If your futon is in a high traffic area or gets a lot of use of children and pets, consider protecting it with additional furniture throw over mattress cover.

Iran: Two Years After the Lifting of International Sanctions
How have sanctions affected the Iranian economy and what has happened since they were lifted?
On the 16th of January 2016, the international sanctions against Iran were largely lifted. First introduced by the US after the Iranian Revolution in 1979, they were successively expanded by the U.S in 1995, the European Union and the international community in 2007 and reached a peak in 2012. These economic sanctions in response to the refusal of Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment program consisted of strong restrictions and embargoes on the trade, banking and oil sectors. Aiming to prevent any further investment in the Iranian nuclear program, these sanctions were "the toughest the world community has ever imposed on any country"[1] and have had a very serious impact on Iran's economy.
The sanctions' lifting process started in 2013 with the Geneva interim agreement shortly after the moderate M. Rouhani, succeeding M. Ahmadinejad, came into power as President of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This first interim agreement was followed in 2015 by the introduction of a deal framework in Lausanne. Later the same year, this deal framework was commonly agreed by Iran and the P5+1 representatives (China, France, Russia, UK, US and Germany).
Today, two years after the actual lifting of the sanctions, the economic benefits seem rather mixed for Iran. If more time is needed for the Iranian to perceive the benefits of a more open economy, the structural weaknesses of Iran's economy and the uncertainty brought by a possible withdrawal of the agreement of the Trump administration will significantly hurt the expected economic revival of Iran.
After giving an outlook of the economic impact, the sanctions had on Iran, this post will focus on understanding what the current economic situation is and how bright the future is for Iran, two years after the lift of the economic sanctions by the international community.
Impact of Economic Sanctions
The tightening of the economic sanctions in 2012 by the international community deeply affected the Iranian economy. The increased economic pressure consisted of a stronger financial and banking isolation with a further freeze of Iranian foreign held assets, a wider restriction of economic and trade cooperation and most importantly a strengthened embargo on Iranian oil that represented 80% of Iranian public revenue in 2012. And, as expected, the economic and social consequences of such sanctions rapidly proved their effectiveness.
In 2012, after a growth of 5.8% and 3.5% in 2010 and 2011, the GDP fell by 7.7% percent (IMF). This contraction was mostly due to the drastic diminution of Oil exports as a consequence of the embargo.
The rising price of importing and exporting goods also led to a skyrocketing inflation which reached 30.8% and 34.7% in 2012 and 2013 compared to an already high average of 14.4% the three previous years (IMF). Of course, this high inflation rate has had a strong and direct impact on the purchasing power of households and standards of living at large.
The industry was also heavily affected. International flows of investment into Iran dried and numerous international companies had to leave Iran. The car production decreased from 1.6 million units produced in 2011 to 0,74 million in 2013 as large car producers such as General Motors, Renault or Peugeot withdrew from the Iranian market in 2012[2]. All the sectors of the Iranian industry were affected by this international industry outflow and logically, with stronger exports barriers and lower foreign investment, competitiveness and production in Iran sank.
Numerous voices in the economic and political fields raise concerns about effectiveness of economic sanctions and their negative spillovers on both sanctioning and sanctioned countries (Hinz, 2017). Putting the latter aside, in the case of Iran, as hoped by the international community, the economic impact of the international embargo on Iran has strongly limited the ability of Iran to invest in its nuclear development. Furthermore, the socio-economic impact of the sanctions incentivised the Iranian government, headed by the President Rouhani, to comply with international demands regarding its enrichment program. Thus, sanctions were effectively relieved in January 2016 by the international community.
Economic expectations from sanction relief in early 2016
The relief of international sanctions in Iran where expected to have a significant economic impact through four major channels:
- Increased export for the oil sector and therefore rise of government revenues
- Increased foreign direct investment in different sectors (industry, oil, tourism,..)
- Easier access to financial services (cheaper money transfer, banking, trade transaction,..)
- Public and private domestic investment pushed by tens of billions of unfrozen assets
As the relief of economic sanctions were in sight, the expected benefits were high. Studies presented early 2016 by the IMF and the World Bank estimated high gains for Iran but also for the World at large. And it is mostly through the oil channel that the first visible effects were anticipated.
As sanctions would be relieved, a global decline of oil price by about 13%, pulled down by the return into the global market of Iranian oil suppliers was expected. This would contributed to an increase by about a quarter percent of world's GDP and between 3 and 4% GDP rise in Iran. Furthermore, the liberalization of trade and financial services and steep decrease in trade costs was expected to strongly benefit the non-oil sector and revitalize the Iranian industry with rising competitiveness and increased investment inflows. (Ianchovichina, 2016) (Versailles, 2016)
The post-sanction path to economic recovery is however not without any pitfalls for Iran. Many observers have underlined the risk for the country to be struck by the so-called Dutch disease. The Dutch disease mechanism underlines the risk for a country with a booming natural resource sector to see its other industry suffer. As natural resource exports increase, the local currency appreciates and the nation's other sectors' competitiveness decreases. In that matter, in order to avoid falling into this trap and to promote sustainable economic development, the Iranian government must advocate sound macroeconomic policies and support industry diversification.
Actual economic situation two years after
For the years 2016 and 2017, Iran GDP growth figures were respectively of 12.5% and 3.7% which sharply contrasts with the negative growth figures of the previous years. For the first time in decades, the inflation rate dropped below the 10% ceiling and a 9.5% inflation rate was recorded in 2016. Exports have reached pre-2012-sanctions levels and slowly investments and industry come back in Iran.
On a social perspective, however, the improvements can scarcely be felt, if not at all, by the population. The unemployment rate went up from 11% in 2013 to 12.4 and 12.5% in 2016 and 2017. For a population, where 55% is under 30 years old, the expectations from Rouhani and the nuclear deal were high and the current stagnation of the economy and social conditions led to disillusionment. In April 2017, shortly before the re-election of the Rouhani, a large majority of Iranians (72%) believed that the Iranian nuclear deal had not improved their economic situation. (IranPoll, 2017) At that time, only 11% of Iranian said that their economic situation had not improved in the last 4 years. What hindrances are then still remaining in Iran that thwart further growth?
Three main causes can be identified explaining the low economic recovery in Iran. First, if largely lifted by the European Union, the sanctions remain quite heavy from an American perspective. They still widely prevent trade and transaction between American and Iranian banks and industries. Moreover, the reintegration to the global system with non-US counterparts takes time. The remaining sanctions and the post-sanction financial regulatory environment makes the re-connexion difficult and time intensive. (IMF, 2017)
Second, the Iranian domestic administrative and structural weaknesses impede the economic recovery. Weaknesses are substantial in the banking and financial sector. Reforms are notably expected both in the fiscal system which could then better support the non-oil sector development and in the monetary system that would further support government credit policies and insure a low and stable inflation. Among others, these reforms are already part of the Five-year Development Plan presented in 2016 by the Rouhani's government. It is however the ability of the administration to implement such reforms that raises questions. The crawling corruption is in Iran an old-established barrier to efficient reform implementation. In 2016, Iran ranked 131 on 176 in the ranking of the most corrupted countries in the world by Transparency international. (Transparency International, 2017)
Last but not least, since D. Trump came to office, the relation between the U.S. and Iran significantly deteriorated. The regular defiant discourse from Donald Trump against Iran and the nuclear deal, referred as "the worst deal ever", casts a shadow on Iran. The possibility that sanctions could be re-established discourages many foreign industries and banks from tying links with Iran that could at any time be broken again.
Thus, the strengthening of sanctions against Iran in 2012 have seriously hurt the economic and social development of the country. The large relief of these sanctions in early 2016 has fostered hope among Iranians. Economic indicators have rapidly responded with increasing exports, GDP and decreasing inflation. Despite this first economic upturn, the sanction relief is struggling to materialise in concrete social benefits for the population. The path to transform economic recovery into social improvements is still full of obstacles for the Rouhani government. Amongst them are the uncertainty brought by the unpredictable foreign politics of D. Trump that hinders higher global economic integration and the need of deep and sound structural reforms of the economic and financial system. Ultimately, if the Iranian government has a very limited impact on the American president, the key to sustainable growth, in Iranian case, lies, first and foremost, in the capacity of the government to actively promote and implement profound changes at a national level. Only the latter will enable the good propagation of economic benefits to all sectors of the industry and all the layers of the society.

It's Just How I Deal
We were on our way to band competition. Getting ready to jam into the crowded school bus, surrounded by flags, rifles, tubas and excited students, I know they are waiting on me.
I've had an accident.
Frantic in the restroom, I realize it's worse than I thought and I've got minutes to figure out how to avoid the worst crisis a teenager can deal with.
I'm 16 and I have incontinence, except, I don't even know what that means.
I can already feel my nose tingle with the smell of urine and panic, the embarrassment causing me to sweat, adding to the odor…adding to my panic…adding to the odor…and so on.
I rub deodorant on the inside crotch of my dance tights, pull up my clothes and reach for a small bottle of Calvin Klein Obsession in my make-up bag.
I overdo it in my fear and run to the bus.
I'm one of the last and desperately want to sit near my "boyfriend" but I'm burning with shame on the inside.
"What is that weird smell?"
I plaster myself against the wall and window of the bus, staring outside, refusing to acknowledge the comment.
I don't know if anyone knew it was me. No one ever said anything.
At least not to my face.
I had a great day today. I worked hard on a draft of a research paper, one I hope will lead to publication by next year. Took some pictures. Had a sports blog post recognized by some people I like.
I got out of the car and realized my pants were wet.
I didn't even feel it.
I've got to print this paper and turn it in, I'm already on campus; do I stay? How can I explain that I need to go home?
I tie a jacket around my waist, run to print my paper and try to come up with a delicate way to both interrupt class (because of course, by now, I'm late) and explain my situation.
My professor looks unimpressed at my interruption, which is to be expected, since another student was giving a presentation and a little exasperated because I'm speaking so low.
"Um, I'm sorry. I have incontinence and I've had an accident."
"I have incontinence and I've had an accident."
"Okay, yeah, go then."
I run away, bursting into tears.
This is someone I respect and admire and I blew an opportunity to be graceful under pressure. Instead I pulled a TMI.
I'm too young to have this problem. A problem I've had for 15 years, when I was surely too young.
I'm very easily embarrassed and this is certainly up there on my most embarrassing moments (something we've discussed before.)
So. I tell you guys. I take a relatively private shame and put it on the interwebz.
It's how I deal.

I think its quite possible – I know at least two other gals that have issues with it. I try to keep an extra pair of pants in the car for multiple reasons..
For me it always happens At Work… of course the most embarrassing place for me to have it happen. We are definately too young to have to worry about these sorts of things.
I would have just died and been a big pile in the floor. I have a similar problem that proves embarassing quite often and when I least expect it.

Reports: Pacers to sign guard T.J. McConnell
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – After a few quiet days of NBA Free Agency, the Pacers appear to be back to work Wendesday.
Hey, when about half your roster is turning over in one offseason, there's a lot of work to do.
Multiple reports claim the Pacers have reached an agreement to sign free agent point guard T.J. McConnell to a two-year contract. The deal cannot become official until the end of the NBA's free agency moratorium period on July 6th.
A four-year NBA veteran, McConnell has mainly been a backup point guard in his pro career, but started 51 games in the 2016-17 season. The University of Arizona product averages 6.4 points and 4.7 assists per game.

The Homage To Federer Continues
Nevermind that Roger Federer's Grand Slam semifinal streak has been snapped, nay, smashed by Tomas Berdych 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the quarters of this year's Wimbledon — because the rest of the world's celebration of the tennis champ keeps on going. A few weeks after we unearthed the woman with the RF tattoo, we've come across a Chicago-based artist who's sculpted R-Fed's likeness in clay.
Raul Gautier, a recent immigrant from Mexico, took a day and a half to create this piece. Up next are figurines of Nadal and Agassi. This isn't the first time we've seen a Federer toy, of course. Nike collaborated with Michael Lau to come up with this Hulk-esque plastic mound in 2007.
For sale: Federer figurine, $650. Mr. Gautier's website will be up soon. Contact TSF if you'd like to get in touch with him.

By Maud Watson
Shaky Start – One man who can be glad that Grand Slams are best-of-five is current reigning champ Roger Federer. Federer was expected to cruise through his opening round having defeated Alejandro Falla twice in the last month, but the Colombian had other ideas. Playing a spectacular match for four sets, he nearly pulled off one of the biggest upsets in history. All credit to the Federer who dug deep and found a way to win, but he was right when he said he was lucky to have won that match. He didn't look solid in his second-round match either. But nearing his 29th birthday, he is closer to the end of his career than the beginning. All reigns eventually come to a close and Federer's career is definitely closer to the end than to the beginning. But he is still Roger Federer. He's still a 16-time Grand Slam champion. He may no longer dominate as he once did, but only a fool would write him off now. He still has the hunger, desire, and heart, and as long as he has that, he still has a few more Grand Slam titles in him.
Marathon Men – The first week is coming to an end, and already it has been a Wimbledon to remember. One of the biggest stories in sports this week (aside from World Cup drama), was the marathon match between Frenchman Nicolas Mahut and American John Isner. An 11-hour contest that shattered a multitude of records, it will undoubtedly be the match of the tournament. And as cliché as it sounds, in this case, I've never felt it more true that it was a shame someone had to lose. Both men are to be commended for the heart they showed, particularly Mahut who successfully stepped up to serve to stay in the match over 60 consecutive times before finally cracking to lose the match 68-70. Some will view this match as a case for instituting a fifth set tiebreak or making the first week of a major best-of-three, but I'm inclined to disagree. There weren't necessarily a ton of rallies, but it was high drama. It got everyone talking about tennis. And at the end of the day, when you see how this unfolded, it would have been a shame to see all of that wiped out by a single tiebreak, something that more often than not gives the edge to the bigger server and could be decided by one errant backhand.
Downward Spiral – In case anyone missed it, James Blake and commentator Pam Shriver had a bit of a tiff during his first-round loss to Robin Haase. Blake could overhear Shriver's courtside commentary, and he made it known to Shriver that he didn't care for what she had to say. I sympathize with Blake to a point. It is a distraction if you can hear the courtside commentary and the fact that he was losing couldn't have helped matters any. I also understand he's dealing with what may ultimately be a career-ending knee problem, and he's a former top player who has seen his ranking slip to outside of the top 100. Not much is going right for Blake at the moment. But I don't think there's any denying that he overreacted to Shriver (and had he been winning at the time that he overheard her, I doubt he would have even acknowledged hearing her commentary). It's also not the first time he's overreacted in a match. Earlier in the year, he went ballistic on a chair umpire, accusing the chair umpire of possibly costing him $25,000 due to his poor officiating, which he felt was attributing to his losing the match. Blake has always had the reputation for being one of the classier competitors on the ATP World Tour. If the game is no longer fun and Blake can't keep his emotions in check, then he is right to seriously consider hanging it up. It would be a shame to see him tarnish his reputation at this stage in the game.
Tough Transition – Paris elation didn't carry over to London for either Francesca Schiavone or Sam Stosur. While Schiavone has enjoyed some good results at Wimbledon, her early exit wasn't a shocker, but that of Sam Stosur was. With a huge serve and a great all-around game, the Aussie's strokes should have translated well to the lawns of the All England Club, but it was not to be. Hopefully this is just a minor blip and not a hangover from the loss in the French Open final. Sam has had such a great first half of the year, and it would be a travesty to see her lose her footing and confidence now.
Royal Audience – The grounds were abuzz with the fact that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II attended Wimbledon Thursday, the first time she had attended since watching Virginia Wade win the title in 1977. The tournament organizers did their part, scheduling Andy Murray as the first match on Centre Court. Much credit should go to Murray, who has been struggling with his form ever since reaching the finals of the Australian Open. He played one of his best matches in recent memory, and hopefully this is a sign of good things to come.
By Maud Watson
Blast from the Past – My biggest praise this week goes to Australian Lleyton Hewitt. Not only did he defeat six-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer in the final of Halle, but he did so after having undergone two hip surgeries. The match had more than shades of the old Hewitt who was at the top of the game nearly ten years ago, with the Aussie chasing down everything that Federer threw at him. While it has to be said that Federer's game did go off, there's no doubt Hewitt played a large part in making it so. Down a set and 0-40 at four-all in the second, Hewitt refused to succumb. Federer clearly became a bit rattled and began to press, ultimately resulting in Hewitt snapping his 15-match losing streak against the Swiss. Wimbledon is a different prospect with the matches all being best of five, but given his status as a former Wimbledon champ and his current run of form, Hewitt's suddenly looking like a decent pick to go deep at SW19.
Back on Track – After the dismal circumstances under which Sam Querrey made his exit at Roland Garros, it was nice to see him quickly back on the horse and in the winner's circle this past weekend at the Queen's Club. Querrey held his nerve to take a tight two-set victory over compatriot Mardy Fish, whom it also has to be said put together one of the nicer weeks of tennis he's had in awhile. And as a sidebar to Querrey's win and Hewitt's, I think it's safe to say that while it's tough to bet against the big boys at the majors, this Wimbledon feels a little more wide open than it has in recent memory.
Undecided – Well, the Swiss Miss may not be done after all. No, Martina Hingis isn't contemplating making yet another comeback to the singles game, but she is seriously considering the possibility of coming back to play doubles on the WTA Tour, naming American Lindsay Davenport as her current choice of partner. Hingis has already committed to playing 14 matches in World Team Tennis for the New York Buzz this summer, and given her level of talent, it's hard to imagine it will take her long to shake the dust off her game. She'll also be teaming with former partner Anna Kournikova to play the Legends Doubles event at Wimbledon, and I'm sure many are hoping that a potential return of Hingis to WTA Tour doubles will entice Kournikova to eventually follow suit.
Salt to the Wound – Brit Alex Bogdanovic has made no secret of the fact that he wasn't thrilled when he learned he wouldn't be receiving one of the Wimbledon main draw wildcards despite the fact that he meets the ranking criteria. But he didn't give up hope at having another shot at winning a main draw match and opted to take his chances in the qualies. It was there in the second round that he came up short against talented Frenchman Nicolas Mahut, losing by a heartbreaking 24-22 in the third. I'm not a huge Bogdanovic fan, and I perfectly understand the logic behind not granting him a wildcard. But at 24-22 in the third, you gotta feel a little sympathy for the guy.
More Returns – This week has marked the return of a couple more players to the main tour just in time for the Big W. Eastbourne has seen Belgian Kim Clijsters bounce back nicely from the foot injury that kept her out of Roland Garros, as well as Frenchman Gilles Simon, whose absence from the 2010 season has been long and frustrating. While it's a big ask for either to set high expectations for Wimbledon (Simon much more so than Clijsters), it's great to see them notching some wins under their belt and gaining some momentum as they're shortly to head into the heart of the summer season. And in case anyone missed it, former No. 1 and French Open champion Thomas Muster will be making a return to the Challenger Circuit at the age of 42. I'm not quite sure what the thought process was behind this return other than for love of the game, but to each their own. Maybe he was inspired by Kimiko Date Krumm.
Richard Gasquet advanced to his first tournament final following his drug suspension and successful appeal, defeating Julien Benneteau 6-4, 7-5 in the semifinals of the MediBank International in Sydney. Gasquet saved triple set- point in the second set and has yet to lose a set this week.
He will face Marcos Baghdatis, who overcame Mardy Fish 6-4, 6-7 (9), 7-6 (5) after a three-hour battle. Baghdatis wasted a match point in the second set tie-break only to recover from a break down twice in the final set.
In Auckland, John Isner advanced to the final, defeating Albert Montanes 6-2, 7-6, one year after being Monanes 7-6 7-5 in the first round at the same event. The American giant meets next Arnaud Clement who surprisingly ousted the 2008 champ, Philip Kohlschreiber 6-3 7-6.
"I am very happy to be in the final again," said Clement. "Since 1997, I have played between 23-30 tournaments a year and I have only been in ten finals, so of course it is special to be in a final".
Wimbledon champ Serena Williams visits Obama
WASHINGTON – It was tennis before baseball for President Barack Obama on Tuesday.
Before heading off to St. Louis to throw the first pitch at the All-Star game, the president welcomed Wimbledon champion Serena Williams to the White House.
"It was amazing," Williams said before her World Team Tennis match with the Washington Kastles. "I love President Obama; he has such an unbelievable presence, and he seems to be so normal — and he noticed my shoes. I think that was the highlight of the whole day, was he liked my shoes."
Williams said she was wearing 5-inch heels for the presidential visit.
"He asked me, 'Should I be wearing high heels?' So I thought that was kind of funny because he may have been right," Williams said. "Because it is a job hazard for me, but I insist on wearing them."
Williams got to meet Michelle Obama and the rest of the first family.
"I didn't know she had such an amazing personality," Williams said. "She had me cracking up and laughing. I knew she was a great person, but now I really understand how important this first family is to the United States. And the kids were just so cute and sweet, and the dog was nice."

How to Set-Up Class Tracking in QuickBooks
- By :
- Category : QuickBooks Error, QuickBooks Error Fix, QuickBooks Technical Error, Technology
If you want to track a particular account or transaction type, then you have the option to set up class tracking in QuickBooks. This feature provides better tracking than the basic account tracking. Also, if a particular expense type isn't associated with any particular account, then too you can track it via class tracking.
Why is Class Tracking an Important Feature?
This feature is highly acclaimed as it enables users to simply categorize your expenses into different classes instead of accounts. Managing and reconciling accounts can be difficult for average users of this accounting software. Hence, class tracking is a better and more efficient way to easily manage expenses.
In particular, organizations also have the option to keep track of department expenses. If you have separate properties and many different office locations, then you should consider setting up class tracking in QuickBooks.
What are Classes?
Classes are very specific expense units that users can keep track of. For instance, as a restaurant chain owner, you would want to create a class for each outlet. The expenses can be separately classified and organized. This will also help you in creating more detailed and specific reports.
To create classes in QuickBooks, follow the steps provided below:
- Open QuickBooks.
- From the Edit Menu, select Preferences.
- Click on the Accounting Tab.
- Now, select Company Preference Tab.
- Once you have done this, click on Use Class Tracking.
- Click on OK.
Classes have now been enabled in QuickBooks and can be used for tracking various subcategories of expenses. Next, follow the steps provided below to set up particular categories for tracking:
- From the top menu, click on Lists.
- Select Class List.
- Select New.
- Enter a name for the class and select the type of transactions you want to track through it.
- Enter any subclasses if you'd like to.
- Fill in all the necessary fields.
We recommend that you only use classes for tracking expenses and bills. Any cost related to your enterprise can be tracked easily via classes. You also have the option to create sub-classes for getting more specific about the categories.
QuickBooks Accounting Software
Apart from expenses, QuickBooks also enables users to manage revenue and profits. There are various features available for managing revenue, some of which have been mentioned below:
Invoices can be created for each purchase and stored in QuickBooks. An invoice is a customizable form that contains all the necessary details related to a particular transaction. The amount of transaction is automatically noted in the Journal.
Through reporting, you can identify all the unnecessary expenses that are eating away into your profits. This will help you in maximizing your profits. Further, the data will provide necessary insights.
RepairContact QuickBooks Tech Support Team
Our QuickBooks technical assistance team can help you in easily setting up classes. Everything will be configured properly along with classes and sub-classes. Further, if you have problems following the instructions, then we also provide QuickBooks remote support.
To know more, feel free to contact QuickBooks helpdesk at ✆+1-800-272-4169(Toll Free).

September & December 2016 - The Cottage
I decided to cut away some of the hills (in the framed section) and level the space for the spare cottage, as you can see in the following photographs.
I have also made a path from the cottage to the church through the church yard.
Typical workers leaving the rubble to block the roads.
Adding a thin layer of plaster to line the section that has been cut away.
The rubble has been cleared and a light painting added to the cliff face.
Now some scatter.
Almost done.

Nestled within the 'Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte Bird Sanctuary', a trove of tropical mysteries buzzing with an abundance of life, the 'Beddagana Wetlands Park' is a sight to behold. A quaint nature trail weaves its way through the cluster of overgrown shrubs and low hanging vines, offering one an experience of walking through a forest, albeit with less risks. The refreshing gust of cold air wraps around you, as you step into a beautifully done haven for nature lovers.
A raised wooden platform entwines its way through the intersected marsh, as the unfailing beauty of flora and fauna are witnessed, an unhindered route to the crux of the park's attractions. Sneak a peek at a kingfisher dawdling by, take in the unparalleled freedom of the many bird and animal species adorning the lush expanse of marshy plains and swamp. Located close to the heart of Colombo, a highlight of Kotte's attractions, the 'Beddagana Wetland Park' speaks of a blissfully tranquil atmosphere, an entrancing walk through nature.
A bird watcher's paradise, the park is the calling card for many a migrant bird to take refuge under its various curtained, secret spots, during their migration season from April to August. Home to a range of endemic birds, mammals, reptiles, butterflies, dragon flies and a host of other species, the park offers leeway for natural wilderness activities to take place, across its approximate 18 hectares of stunning vista of nature.
Bearing in mind that the birds tend to be in their element in the early hours of the morning and perhaps in the evening, this gives you ample opportunity to photograph endemic species in their natural habitat. Take in scenic views, whilst you journey on down the trail, as the painstaking sounds of various birds fill the air.
Make sure you dont miss out! Add to your profile.

Desert horned lizard
|Desert horned lizard
|Scientific classification
P. platyrhinos
|Binomial name
|Phrynosoma platyrhinos
Girard, 1852
The desert horned lizard (Phrynosoma platyrhinos) is a species of phrynosomatid lizard native to western North America. They are often referred to as "horny toads", although they are not toads, but lizards.
This species of lizard has a distinctive flat body with one row of fringe scales down the sides, they have one row of slightly enlarged scales on each side of the throat. Colours can vary and generally blend in with the color of the surrounding soil, but they usually have a beige, tan, or reddish dorsum with contrasting, wavy blotches of darker color, they have two dark blotches on the neck that are very prominent and are bordered posteriorly by a light white or grey color. They also have pointed scales on the dorsum (back) of the body. Juveniles are similar to adults, but have shorter and less-pronounced cranial spines. Desert horned lizards have horns that are wide at the base, which isn't true for their congener, the short-horned lizard.
Desert horned lizards prey primarily on invertebrates, such as ants (including red harvester ants,) crickets, grasshoppers, beetles, worms, flies, ladybugs, meal worms and some plant material, they can often be found in the vicinity of ant hills, where they sit and wait for ants to pass by. When they find an area of soft sand, they usually shake themselves vigorously, throwing sand over their backs and leaving only their head exposed; this allows them to hide from predators and await their unsuspecting prey.
Found in extremely diverse habitats; the flat-tailed horned lizard occurs in areas of fine sand, while the short-horned lizard (P. douglasii) is found in shortgrass prairie all the way up into spruce-fir forest. The most common species in the Arizona Upland subdivision is the regal horned lizard (P. solare), which frequents rocky or gravelly habitats of arid to semiarid plains, hills and lower mountain slopes.
Geographic range and subspecies[edit]
They typically range from southern Idaho in the north to northern Mexico in the south.
There are two subspecies: the northern desert horned lizard (Phrynosoma platyrhinos platyrhinos) ranging in Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, the Colorado front range, and parts of southeastern Oregon; and the southern desert horned lizard (Phrynosoma platyrhinos calidiarum) ranging in southern Utah and Nevada to southeast California, western Arizona, and northern Baja California.
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (January 2011)
The young are about 7/8 to 1-1/8 inches long, snout to vent; the young have been observed to bury themselves in the sand immediately upon hatching. The babies receive no parental care, so when they emerge, they start to hunt for food; the horns on their head are apparent, while the rest of their clearly-marked skin is relatively smooth. Mating occurs in late April, peaks in June and stops abruptly in July. Egg laying starts a few weeks later, usually in late July and early August; the farther north, the later the eggs are laid. In some species the eggs are retained, and the young are hatched just before, during or shortly after laying. Other species bury their eggs in the sand where they require several weeks for further development before the eggs hatch; the egg shells are white and flexible and average about one-half inch in diameter. The number of eggs varies with the species; some have from 10 to 30 eggs, with an average of about 15. They grow most rapidly in late summer and early spring when there is an abundance of food. There is no evidence that they reproduce the first year, but they are classed as young adults by the end of the second summer and probably reach full growth in three years; some species reach a snout-to-vent length of 6 inches. Most species are less than 5 inches in length, they have a life expectancy of from 5 to 8 years in the deserts of North America.[2]
They are generally a gentle species, but have been known to try to push their cranial spines into the hand while held; when excited, they puff themselves up with air, similar to the way a Chuckwalla does, making themselves look bigger. If spotted near a bush, they will dash into it in an attempt to find cover from any threat. Like several other horned lizard species, desert horned lizards are able to squirt blood from their eyes.[3]

The South African city of Cape Town is now two months away from running out of water.
After a years-long drought, its four million residents have been told the taps will be turned off in early April – unless it rains soon and a lot.
From that time - the so-called "Day Zero" - water will only be distributed from 200 collection points across the city and limited to 25 litres a day.
"We're facing a real, total disaster in Cape Town which is going to affect more than four million people," Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa said.
"If people around the world, specifically South Africa, ever thought that climate change is just a fable or a fiction, we in South Africa as regards Cape Town are now seeing the real effects of climate change."
The government has already told residents to limit their water usage to 50 litres a day - equivalent to a two-and-a-half minute shower or four toilet flushes.
Local woman Sitaara Stodel is using water from her shower and washing machine to flush the toilet, but said others aren't doing enough.
"People are still watering their lawns, filling their pools and bathing. They seem happy to just pay the fines. It's so upsetting," she told NBC.
"I think 'Day Zero' is inevitable, we're at the point of no return."
From Day Zero only hospitals, clinics and stand-pipes in informal settlements without plumbing will continue to receive water.
It will also mean many offices will close because they are unable to provide a safe water and sanitation to employees.
Experts have said water shortages have been triggered by climate change and huge population growth.

Largest MDL in History — on Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure — Winding Down
MDL-875 is the consolidation of federal lawsuits from across the country of plaintiffs who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure. It is the largest multidistrict litigation in U.S. history. More than 22 years after its creation, MDL-875 is winding down.
However, the change in how federal lawsuits filed by mesothelioma patients and their loved ones are being handled does not prevent newly diagnosed mesothelioma patients from filing a suit. Oklahoma residents who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or who have a family member who has been afflicted with the disease should contact an attorney to learn more about asbestos legal action and asbestos trust funds.
Dozens of trust funds containing billions of dollars in assets have been created, funded by assets recovered from asbestos-related companies which have gone bankrupt. Awards and settlements of mesothelioma lawsuits are being paid from those trust funds.
In 1991, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) transferred all federal asbestos-related personal injury claims to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. After more than 22 years of operation, that MDL is now winding down. In a Caseload Statistics report published earlier this month by the Pennsylvania court, it was reported that only 2,142 asbestos cases were transferred to the MDL in 2012 and only 143 in 2013.
For many other legal issues, more than 2,000 federal cases in the last two years would be considered a large number. But the Pennsylvania MDL has handled almost ten times that many mesothelioma asbestos-exposure cases. According to the Caseload Statistics, a total of 186,583 cases have been transferred to MDL-875. The vast majority of those have now been resolved or remanded back to lower courts, but 2,990 cases are still pending in the MDL.
More than 500 of the 186,583 total cases originated in Oklahoma federal courts: 304 in the Western District of Oklahoma, 223 in the Northern District of Oklahoma and 29 in the Eastern District of Oklahoma. All of the Oklahoma cases have been resolved or remanded.
The declining number of MDL-875 cases are the result of a December 2011 decision by the MDL Judicial Panel to discontinue transferring federal cases to the Pennsylvania court.
MDL-875 made legal history and will be studied by attorneys and the courts for years to come. The American Bar Association has a 36-slide PowerPoint available online titled: MDL-875: Past, Present and Future. It quotes a federal committee in a 1991 report:
"[The use of asbestos] is a tale of danger known about in the 1930s, [with] exposure inflicted upon millions of Americans in the 1940s and 1950s, injuries that began to take their toll in the 1960s, and a flood of lawsuits beginning in the 1970s."
As the ABA presentation reveals, mesothelioma asbestos litigation has worked through three distinct phases during the past two-plus decades. In the 1990s, a group of plaintiffs attempted to join together to pursue their cases as a class action. However, the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately ruled that the class of hundreds of thousands of potential claimants was too large and their individual claims too diverse to group together in a class.
After that ruling, Congress attempted for several years to resolve the claims through a series of proposed legislation in 1999, 2000, 2003 and 2005. The goal of the various proposals was to create a way to compensate mesothelioma victims without the need for thousands upon thousands of individual lawsuits. However, none of the proposals was passed.
Finally, the Pennsylvania court began in 2006 to work through the 186,583 cases that have come before it. Although MDL-875 is now winding down, it does not mean that it is too late for a mesothelioma patient to file a claim. It simply means that future federal cases will not automatically be transferred to the Pennsylvania court.
Because exposure to asbestos can take as long as 50 years to result in a mesothelioma diagnosis, about 3,000 new diagnoses continue to be made each year. People who were exposed to asbestos during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s are only being diagnosed with mesothelioma now.
If you are an Oklahoma resident who has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or you are the family member of someone who has, you will find more information about mesothelioma, asbestos exposure and your legal rights on our webpage: Mesothelioma: Asbestos Cancer. FAQs and Your Legal Rights.

UB men's basketball signs three players to National Letters of Intent
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Head men's basketball coach Nate Oats has announced the signing of three players for the 2019-20 season, who all signed National Letters of Intent on Wednesday. Included in the class are James Rojas, Durey Cadwell, and Andre Allen.
"Losing five seniors this year, this class was huge for our program and I am extremely happy with the three players we have signed in this class," said Oats. "Andre and James give us some skilled players on the interior which are different than what we have and Durey is an extremely talented guard that will fit in well with our system."
Rojas, a 6-7 forward, is a local product from Jamestown, NY, the same hometown as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Bryan Hodgson. Rojas is currently playing junior college ball at Hutchinson Community College where he has averaged 18.0 points per game through the first five games this season, including 28 points in their most recent game against Redlands Community College.
Last season, Rojas helped lead Hutchinson to a 29-7 record and a 21-5 mark in conference play as he averaged 10.6 points per game. He went over 20 points four times last year as Hutchinson made it to the second round of the national tournament. Rojas was a 2017 All-Western New York First Team selection at Jamestown where he averaged 27.1 points, 11 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game as a senior.
"We are extremely excited to get James back to Western New York," said Oats. "He is a player we have targeted for a long time and he brings a toughness to the gym every time he steps on the floor. He can shoot the ball well and he is smart on both sides of the ball."
Cadwell is a 6-5 wing player from Houston, TX, who is playing at Daytona State. Cadwell is a freshman currently at Daytona State and will have three years of eligibility when he joins the Bulls. Cadwell has averaged 10.0 points and 4.5 rebounds through the first four games for Daytona State this year including 22 points on 7-of-8 shooting against Denmark Technical College.
Cadwell played his high school basketball at Klein Forest High School where he was a second-team all-league selection in 2017.
"Durey is a big guard who can really shoot the basketball," said Oats. "He will have some college experience, but will still have three years of eligibility. He is a great athlete and an excellent ball handler. He is going to follow in the footsteps of a great guard from Texas in CJ Massinburg, but I know he is up for it."
Allen is a 6-9 forward from Los Angeles, CA who is currently playing junior college ball for Arizona Western Community College. Allen is averaging 13.0 points and 10.0 rebounds per game through five games this year, including 19 points on 6-of-10 shooting against Imperial Valley College. Last season, Allen and Arizona Western went 23-10 and 16-6 in league play. He had a career-high 27 points last year against Tohono O'odham Community College.
He played his high school ball at Balboa City School, the same high school as number one NBA Draft pick DeAndre Ayton, where they went 34-6 during his senior season. Allen scored 23 points and 10 rebounds in a game against Victory Prep, which featured current Denver Nugget, Jarred Vanderbilt. Allen steadily improved during his high school career, earning the Instant Offense award back during his sophomore season.
"Andre is extremely athletic and he will be great in transition," said Oats. "He has a long wingspan and is a great shot blocker. I also believe that he is the best passing big I've ever coached and he will fit in great with our program."
"With these three entering our program this year, and adding Antwain Johnson and Gabe Grant to the mix who are sitting out the year due to NCAA transfer rules, I am extremely excited for the future of this program," Oats added.
Currently ranked #25 in the nation, the 2018-19 Bulls will return to the floor a week from today when they host Dartmouth at Alumni Arena at 7:00 pm.

I don't know why I've gotten so lazy. It's not like I don't take pictures everday, cause I do (though I did miss a day or so -- I did make up for it). Perhaps because real life has gotten in the way quite a bit that I haven't been on top of things. No worries, I'll try to make up for the sporadicness of it all.
