It's a small world after all
It all Started with 'CARE' – Reasons . . .
What It Means To Partner With A World . . .
As I explained in the first of this 3-part blog series, following the collapse of Carillion, we started a project to see if, using open government data and analytics techniques, we could help government organisations manage risks associated with outsourcing.
In the first blog post I outlined our approach to working out the right things to measure and how we got the spend and contract data we needed to do that. In this post I will focus on how we analysed the data and what our findings could mean for government's approach to procuring the services of outsourcers and its use of analytics at scale.
The most obvious way for government organisations to minimise the impact of one or more of their outsourcers going bust is to spread their spending across their outsourcing partners as equally as possible. Let's call this evenness.
The more outsourcers there are, the further diluted the risk will be. By this reasoning, the most desirable and least risky scenario is one where the outsourcing budget is evenly spread across several contractors. We combined these two characteristics and expressed the result as a single value that we shall refer to as diversity.
In summary, our hypotheses were that (1) it was possible, given the data we had, to assess the evenness and diversity of a government organisation's spending and (2) that doing so would give us a useful basis for assessing how well it could cope with supplier failure.
Doing both these things reliably required large volumes of data which ruled out a manual approach, so we built an analytics pipeline that helped us automate the ingestion, processing and analysis of the data.
Spend Network gave us a sample dataset of 11 government organisations. It was a relatively small sample but it was varied enough in terms of organisation type, budget size (£6.9 million to £781.3 million) and the extent of their use of outsourcers (from as few as 18 to 701) for us to glean useful insights and answer the questions I outlined above.
As I explained in the first blog post, Spend Network classifies its aggregated data which makes analysis easier. We focused on government spending with multiservice outsourcers. We did this by filtering the dataset on services that are usually provided by large multiservice outsourcers. By our estimation, their services fit about 28 different categories. The top 3 categories, which account for 81% of monies spent with these outsourcers, were:
We decided to exclude Information technology consultation services category because there was the only multiservice outsourcer (Capita) offering services in this category. We decided to focus our analyses on the latter top 2 because the other 25 categories altogether accounted for less than 20% of government spend with outsourcers.
The 11 government organisations in our sample varied widely with regards to evenness and the number of outsourcers they did business with, over the 6-year period of 2011 to 2016.
These visual representations of the departments' spending profiles give us a level of insight, but they're too high-level for us to reasonably assess how well any of them might cope with supplier failure. That's the focus of the third and final blog post in the series.

Susan has been a full time mediator since 2010. She uses insight and intuition to bring a fresh and creative approach to reaching settlement. Before becoming a mediator, Susan was a business litigator with an international law firm, practiced in house as litigation counsel for a large national bank, and since 1985, has closely followed personal injury cases of all types. Susan has a natural ability to read people and can skillfully uncover the real issues fueling the dispute and redirect the parties towards settlement
She is bright, tenacious and hardworking, and has mastered the art of follow up to achieve resolution. One attorney commented that her "expertise, intelligence, humor and commitment were the key to bringing both sides together in what seemed like an impossible feat." Susan guides the negotiation with empathy and exhibits genuine care and concern for the embattled parties. When not mediating privately, Susan assists the burdened Court system by settling cases of all types, and works with schools and parents to resolve educational conflicts.
A mother of three, Susan is an enthusiastic cyclist, hiker, water skier, boater, linguist and traveler. She is also fluent in French and proficient in Spanish.
Very knowledgeable regarding admissible evidence and explained problems in Plaintiff's case to opposing counsel.
- Attorney in a Personal Injury Dog Bite matter
Ms. Feder is an extremely effective mediator who obtains highly satisfactory outcomes for embattled litigants. She has superb people skills and works hard to help the parties achieve a settlement. Her optimism helps the parties enjoy the process and feel good about their resolution.
- Attorney, San Francisco
Thanks for doing a great job, with a really fine result for our clients. You have a real talent for listening, and great emotional intelligence. I recommend my team of lawyers use you for future cases.
- Attorney on a landlord-tenant dispute
She has continued to work with counsel for the parties to achieve a resolution since the mediation.
- Attorney on a medical malpractice dispute
She understood the very complicated medical issues, and the issues concerning the defendant.
- Attorney on a Medical Malpractice/Wrongful Death Matter
Susan did an excellent job navigating a complicated family dynamic to reach a settlement for my client. She was persistent and impressive in her follow up efforts with both sides. I look forward to mediating with her again soon!
- Attorney on a premises liability case
Susan Feder uses a fresh approach to getting parties to settle. She handled a most difficult construction defect matter with a personal injury twist for us and it was her determination, fortitude and willingness to consider novel ideas that got the matter resolved. I would recommend her to anyone with difficult issues, difficult parties, or both. I will certainly recommend her to my professional friends in the bay area.
- Partner, Sacramento, California
I appreciated that after our initial mediation found the parties entrenched in our respective positions, Susan continued to work with the parties while
discovery progressed. She was invested in the process, knew the issues and was committed to achieving a fair result. Susan reached out to the parties at regular intervals despite
being told over and over that the case was not going to resolve. Susan ultimately proved us wrong by settling the case via phone two weeks before trial. It was a great result and
I would absolutely use her services again.

DeKALB – Experience the power of music to promote healing, unity and community at the eighth annual Transformation Through Rhythm Concert will be held at the Egyptian Theatre in DeKalb at 2 p.m. Feb. 24.
This event will feature the DeKalb High School Percussion Ensemble, the Northern Illinois University Percussion Ensemble and the Harambee African Percussion Ensemble, involving more than 60 performers. The concert is free, but donations are appreciated.
Produced by Northwestern Medicine Hospice DeKalb, 100 percent of the proceeds will benefit its sister hospice in Knysna, South Africa. Since 2004, Northwestern Medicine Hospice has been a part of Global Partners in Care, a national organization that links U.S. hospices with Sub-Saharan African hospices, to assist with funds, skills and knowledge.
"Knysna hospice serves a very impoverished population which has been hit heavily by the AIDS epidemic," Jennifer Conley, a music therapist and licensed professional counselor at Northwestern Medicine Hospice DeKalb, said in a news release. "In the past years our donations have been utilized to buy food for their hospice patients and families".
The concert will open with a welcome letter and brief video from Knysna, South Africa, as well as comments from a representative from Global Partners in Care.
"Transformation Through Rhythm is much more than a concert," Greg Beyer, professor and head of Percussion Studies at NIU, said in the release. "It is our commitment to take care of one another, using our words, deeds and resources, every day, every year."

The 1989 Peaceful Revolution celebrated every October 9th
By Richard Varr
They knew freedom would come one day – all they had to do was stand up for it. And on October 9, 1989, they did – defiantly, peacefully. But it was the sheer numbers of protesters that would determine their destiny as they would soon see Communist rule crumble into the history books.
Every October 9th, on the anniversary of the Peaceful Revolution, Leipzig citizens celebrate how prayers and a yearning to be free brought out a surging crowd – virtually overnight – of more than 70,000 who demanded democracy. Back then, they stood with candles in hand, not knowing whether police would fire upon them. They chanted over and over again, "We are the people" and "No violence" as they marched around Leipzig's inner-city ring road. And the march remained peaceful because holding candles prevented protesters from throwing stones.
They demonstrated against East Germany's oppressive GDR government, the feared Stasi (Secret Police) and Communist rule. Despite threats of police gunfire to quash the rebellion, the overwhelming crowds made it impossible for police to imprison the tens-of-thousands. The Berlin Wall tumbled a month later.
During my visit to Leipzig earlier this month, I took part in the so-called Festival of Lights, held every October 9th, commemorating the Peaceful Revolution. Citizens come together at nightfall, again cradling candles where it all took place – in central Augustusplatz, and earlier in the imposing Romanesque and Gothic St. Nicholas Church, where Monday prayer meetings beginning in 1982 would spawn a revolution seven years later.
This year's anniversary paid tribute to women for their role during the rebellion. An all-women orchestra performed amidst the chanting of five actresses recalling the hardships they suffered. "Of course we were intimidated," the actresses shouted as the music reached a crescendo, looking out upon the candlelit panorama beneath illuminated City Tower windows synchronized to display "89." "We knew of people suddenly disappearing, of children who had to be adopted because their parents were under arrest."
"Sometimes, I had downright nightmares about the Stasi attacking our home at night and taking me with them, just as it happened to my father at his workplace in 1952," one chanted.
Key to each anniversary is the Speech on Democracy at St. Nicholas Church. This year's speaker – in keeping with the tribute to women theme – was former Federal Minister of Justice Herta Däubler-Gmelin, the first woman to give the speech. "Today is a day of remembrance, with our thoughts looking forward. I am thankful to be a part of it," she said within the packed church. "I think we should state clearly and with more self-confidence what we expect from politics and politicians, and then add what we citizens ourselves could and must do – more and better."
St. Nicholas is one of the sights of the Peaceful Revolution, where Monday prayer meetings swelled in the fall of 1989 as calls to end Communism echoed throughout Eastern Europe, culminating in Leipzig with the October 9th demonstration. In the adjacent courtyard stands a single column –a replica of the church's inside columns with their sprouting palm fronds design. The outside pillar and a bronze plaque with footprints below symbolize the thousands of people who couldn't get into the church and who marched during the Peaceful Revolution.
Another important sight is the former Stasi headquarters building, now a museum, at the so-called Round Corner. "The situation was really dangerous," local historian and tour guide Theresa Hertrich told me during a tour. "Would the Stasi in the headquarters shoot the people as they walked by? So the people put candles on the stairs so they could show they were peaceful."
The museum showcases the Staci's oppressive methods and spying tactics. One exhibit reveals the Secret Police had about 2,400 employees and 10,000 "unofficial" employees who spied on fellow citizens. "Many worked every day in factories with colleagues and reported any anti-government talk. That's how the Stasi collected information on citizens," explains Hertrich.
"People had to have two faces – a private face, and one official face if you talked to people you didn't know. Because it was really dangerous to say out loud what you were thinking." Other museum exhibits include bugging devices, a recreated detention cell and a steam-driven machine used to open envelopes of private letters. Yet another sensational exhibit revealed how the police would question suspected citizens for hours in hot interrogation rooms, and then collect their scents from perspiration on a cloth they sat on, so specially trained dogs could later track them down.
Under the GDR, buildings decayed and the environment suffered. "In the 70s, you could still see the charm of Leipzig, but at the end of the 80s there was nothing anymore. Nothing was renovated," said tour guide Birgit Scheffel while we sipped coffee within Leipzig's famous Madler Passage, one of the city's many passageways lined with retail shops cutting through city blocks. Scheffel explained that after German East-West reunification, shops, malls and department stores sprung up where there was once rubble and empty space.
"In my family, we did not starve. We had basic food," she said when describing day to day life during GDR rule. "But if you wanted something special like oranges and bananas, we could only get those once a year."
"We had to wait 15-18 years for a car," she added. "We had to wait for a normal telephone up to 20 years."
Leipzig's N'Ostalgie Museum adds yet another dimension of daily life under Communist rule. On display are old scooters, kitchen utensils, toys, old film cameras, bicycles and even a Trabi car, to name just a few of the everyday items mostly made in East Germany. Yet there are no signs or explanations of these items in the museum because those who lived during that era know what they are.
"Most GDR museums are about the Stasi or the Wall," noted museum owner Nancy Hager. "It's very interesting for German people, both West and East, to have a place that's neutral and not political. Many people that lived then had their own personal memories that were not political."
"Sure, there were many citizens who didn't care – absorbed by their daily life," said Gisela Kallenbach, a former Leipzig City Council woman and former member of both the Saxony State Parliament and European Parliament. "Many were resigned to the fact they couldn't change anything because we had the wall – like an open prison in the GDR. For myself, I'm convinced that if you suffer, you have to make changes."
I'm hoping I can make it back to Leipzig for next year's 30th anniversary of the Peaceful Revolution – an event that, just like the 25th anniversary in 2014, will draw even larger crowds and a march along the inner-city ring road.
"We started to become braver citizens back then," recalls Kallenbach. "It's still as if it happened yesterday."

Despite a sub-zero windchill factor, civic leaders came together Saturday afternoon to cut the ribbon for the Dahms-Talton Band Shell in Fort Morgan's City Park.
"I just want to say thank you (to the organizing committee)," said Mayor Terry McAlister.
"This is yours," he said. "I think it's wonderful to have this in the park."
McAlister said he was glad that the committee and the community came together to make this happen.
Mary Zorn, speaking for the committee, said the committee owed its thanks to those with the vision to start the project and those who spearheaded it like Lyn Deal and Jack Darnell
Fort Morgan City Manager Jeff Wells also thanked those who made the project possible, saying it was a project of the community.
"The best is yet to come," Zorn said, noting that there will be a dedication and celebration in May, when it will be much more fun to enjoy the new band shell.
She pointed out that changes in the construction now allows more people to sponsor memorial bricks. They can pay for big ones at $1,000 each or little ones at $100 each. For more information on the bricks and other things, people can go to fortmorganbandshell.com.
Originally, the ribbon cutting was supposed to be accompanied by music in the band shell, but the arctic freeze that came this week made that impossible.
Fort Morgan City Engineer Brad Curtis said some of the work that was planned for this past week was also delayed by the cold. Some of the materials are not supposed to be used unless the temperature is above 25 degrees.
The band shell roof still needs to be finished, there is work to do on the electrical fixtures and the memorial brick wall needs to be redone, he said.
While construction fencing was removed, it will go back up, Curtis said.
Other things that will have to wait for warmer weather include installing sod and other landscaping and putting up the final signs, including the Dahms-Talton name.
The Dahms-Talton Foundation contributed $100,000 to the fundraising campaign, gaining the naming rights honor. Homer Wickham's name will grace the performance stage, due to the late local music supporter and performer's family's $50,000 donation to the project.

Made to the same high standards as all of our furniture, each one of our upholstery frames is built to last.
Kiln-dried, engineered hardwood
We use kiln-dried, engineered hardwood in all of our upholstery frames. Often used for structural beams, engineered hardwood is made by pressing thin layers of solid wood together. Kiln-drying removes moisture, minimizing seasonal expansion and contraction. This stable hardwood material resists warping and cracking for lasting durability.
Reinforced joinery
We reinforce every joint in our frames for added stability. Precision-cut parts interlock like puzzle pieces and are reinforced with eco-friendly glues, screws or staples and corner blocks. Reinforced joinery ensures your seating holds together, even with years of frequent use.
A webbing suspension is made by interweaving strips of nylon material to create a resilient platform. The elasticized webbing is securely attached to the wood frame with staples. Webbing suspensions are ideal for thin-profile styles that require maximum support in minimal space.

George Takei vs. Baby Goose
By Vivian Kane | Celebrity | February 10, 2014 |
By Vivian Kane | Celebrity | February 10, 2014 |
In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, we learned a lot about Twitter King George Takei: He's a cryer, he hates flying, his happy place is sitting on his patio with his husband Brad, and oh yeah, HE THINKS RYAN GOSLING IS BORING.
When asked to name something he finds overrated, Takei said he's fine with twerking and selfies, but said he doesn't get The Goose:
I don't know what all this hoo-ha about Ryan Gosling is about. He's more often boring than not. I mean, he's an alright actor, but I don't think he's as gripping and compelling as people like Matt Damon or George Clooney.
Look, we're all entitled to our own opinions. I'm sure half of you reading this agree with Sulu. But I have to tell you… you're wrong. Your opinion is wrong. Ryan Gosling was made to meme, has dance skills to rival Paul Rudd, and, let's not forget, taught us all what the future will be like.
So stick that in your hoo-ha.
Vivian Kane looks forward to hearing why she's wrong on this one. You can yell at her here.

The false parallel between the civil rights movement and the women's movement
One of the underlying mistakes of the past quarter century was taking the gains of the civil rights movement and passing them on to women as if women had served as men's slaves and were now entitled to those rights |ust as blacks had served as whites' slaves and were now entitled to those rights. This both encouraged an ideology of female as-victim and blinded us to how the underlying issue between men and women was not the dominance of one sex over the other, but the subservience of both sexes to the real master – the survival needs of the next generation
In race relationships, one race's gain was often another's loss. In male – female relationships, when either sex wins, both sexes lose. When an individual woman benefits from affirmative action for a promotion, the wife and children of the man she defeats lose the benefits of that promotion. Which is why one sex having privileged opportunity is an inferior solution to equal opportunity
The old belief that men have the power and women are powerless leads predictably to a battle between the sexes How? The perception of women as powerless makes us fear limiting the expansion of women's power Fear of limiting the power of the sex with the greater spending power, the greater beauty power, the greater sexual power, the greater net worth among its heads of households, and the greater options in marriage, children, work, and life creates the corruptness of absolute power which will ultimately lead to a much bloodier battle between the sexes.
In contrast, the new Stage I—II framework leads to understanding between the sexes – to understanding how just as the number of children a roother raised was a sign of the amount of obligation a woman undertook (not the amount of power she had), so the number of dollars a father raised was a sign of the amount of obligation he undertook to feed those children. It leads us to understanding how each sex had more rights and more power In the area in which it had more responsibilities; how each sex dominated
in the area in which it was most likely to die, how each sex paid the other for performing its rol e, bow both sexes paid a price for the price they were paid
The Stage I-1I framework, by not denying either sex's power or burdens, frees us to move from a battle between the sexes to love between the sexes; from a women's movement to a gender transition movement.
How do we make that transition?

I thought I'd try my hands at WordPress tweakery, and so I thought I'd mark up my first custom theme. For whatever reason, I decided that a rendition of the monochrome MacOS from circa System 6 would be cool - with a few liberties taken for the sake of the web, of course.
It's my first real attempt at a theme, so goodness knows if it'll work on anything other than WP 2.1.2 (which is what it was developed under). Still, it's based on some of the structure behind the default Kubrick theme, so it should be relatively complete. Here's a screenshot:
And you can preview it installed here:
Or, just cut to the chase and download it here. Place it in your wordpress wp-content/themes directory and it should appear in your presentation config.

I have always been fascinated with fabrics and paper. My artwork is an expression of my love for color, patterns and texture. Handmade papers today are readily available on the internet, art supply stores as well as from sources all over the world. As a former Montessori preschool teacher, I was able to create many of the materials that were used in my classroom. It was a wonderful outlet for my creative needs. When I retired that need was unfulfilled until I discovered the wealth of papers readily available and was immediately drawn to their beauty.
I "paint" with layers of paper, many of which are handmade and come from Japanese or Thai sources. These papers come in as many spectrums as fabric materials, allowing me to play with numerous different looks. I use watercolors, ink and dye to enhance the existing color of the paper, changing the visual texture that a paper has. I have a cache of prepared papers that I have stamped, inked, stenciled and embellished with color that I use as my palette. I concentrate now on incorporating recycled papers such as music scores, maps, receipts, hand written notes and rice paper. This creates a more personal palette for me to create my images.
I use photographs as my inspiration. The first thing after selecting a subject is to prepare the underpainting of the piece. I sketch out the design and then use acrylic paints to do a basic underpainting which will guide me in color selections . Then I begin the process of tearing the papers and applying them with a Liquetex gel adhesive. Often papers overlap which gives a wonderful feeling of texture to the piece. Backgrounds are often covered with paper but depending on the subject and size of the piece might also be painted, spattered with acrylic fluids and paints, possibly stenciled or have other embellishments.
Every day continues to be an experiment in what can be done with these papers. Exploring various art mediums has been such a freeing experience. I am thoroughly captivated in the learning process as I improvise, experiment and take risks. The result is a feeling of incredible satisfaction and fulfillment. I feel just as my preschoolers did when they connected with the concept I was teaching. It is like having an inner light turned on.

General Assembly Enacts Controversial Sales & Use Tax Legislation
With three days left in the Kentucky General Assembly's 2009 Regular Session, Governor Steve Beshear has signed several tax-related bills enacted by the Kentucky General Assembly. Three of these bills – H.B. 347, H.B. 429, and H.B. 216 – amend Kentucky's sales and use tax scheme and include a few of what could be characterized as somewhat controversial provisions.
The title of H.B. 347 discloses that it relates to the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement ("SSUTA"). Kentucky is a signatory to the SSUTA and a full member of the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board, which oversees SSUTA.
By way of background, in December 2008, the Board's Compliance Review and Interpretation Committee ("CRIC") determined that Kentucky was not in compliance with the SSUTA as it relates to the application of Kentucky sales and use tax to hospital beds. The Kentucky Department of Revenue ("Department") represented to the Board that it would seek a legislative fix to bring Kentucky back into compliance with the SSUTA. In this regard, only one section of H.B. 347 pertains to the taxation of hospital beds. The remaining twenty-plus sections define digital property and impose sales and use tax thereon.
To this effect, H.B. 347 adds definitions for digital audio-visual works, digital audio works, digital books, digital code, and digital property. "Purchase" and "sale," as defined under KRS 139.010, are both amended to include property transferred electronically. The definition of "retailer" is amended to include persons engaged in the business of making retail sales of tangible personal property, services included in KRS 139.200, and digital property.
H.B. 347 amends KRS 139.200 to include sales of digital property delivered electronically as a sale subject to sales and use tax. It also amends KRS 139.105 to provide that such sales are sourced to the "place of primary use" which means the street address where the end user receives the digital property or primarily accesses the digital property.
Unrelated to digital property in particular, the definition of "retail sale" has also been amended to remove the provision that such sales are made "in the regular course of business…." The reason for this change is not readily apparent.
H.B. 429 repeals and reenacts KRS 139.570 to cap vendor compensation for sales and use tax collection costs at $1,500 per month. This Bill purports to affirm and make retroactive amendments made to KRS 139.570 by 2008 H.B. 538.
H.B. 216 excludes any person making sales at a charitable auction for a "qualifying entity" from the definition of retailer and thus, excludes such sales from sales tax. And, it defines "qualifying entity" as a resident school, church, civic club, or other nonprofit charitable, religious, or educational organization.
If you have questions about this topic or any other legal issue, please contact any member of the firm's State and Local Tax Team.

Sakhalin Energy Investment Co. Ltd. (Sakhalin Energy) is undertaking its 2004 Western Gray Whale research program, conducted off the northeast coast of Sakhalin Island in Russia's Far East.
Sakhalin Energy is funding the program jointly with other oil companies working on Sakhalin offshore oil and gas projects, and over $2 million dollars is being spent this year. Russian scientific institutions supervised by VNIRO (the All-Russian Fisheries and Oceanography Research Institute, Moscow), as well as international experts, are conducting the program of studies, which consists of:
• Marine acoustic monitoring work, including ambient noise monitoring and transmission loss experiments
• Studies of benthic organisms
• Photo identification
• Aerial, vessel, and shore-based distribution surveys
• Whale behavior, providing a basis to further document potential impacts on the whales
• Further investigations regarding satellite-tagging technology.
The onshore program (distribution and behavior studies) and aerial surveys started in July and the vessel-based surveys in August. The surveys will run until October this year.
Sakhalin Energy, in partnership with other oil companies working on the Sakhalin shelf, has been involved in the monitoring and research of the Western Gray Whale since 1997. The long-term monitoring and research undertaken over the last seven years has increased the knowledge of Western Gray Whale ecology. For example, through benthic studies we know that the Piltun feeding area, and an offshore feeding area discovered in the last two years as a result of the monitoring work, are very rich in food resources. The presence and distribution of the whales offshore Sakhalin are directly related to the abundance of these food resources.
Additionally, at least 10 new calves were identified in 2003 through photo identification studies sponsored by Sakhalin Energy and partners. While this is the highest number of calves recorded since the studies began, it is not expected again this year as these whales give birth on average about once every three years and the overall whale population estimate is low. Nonetheless, the birth of so many calves last year is encouraging, and the monitoring teams will be keeping watch for new offspring again this season.
In addition to contributing to a greater understanding of the Western Gray Whale population and its lifecycle offshore of Sakhalin, the research and monitoring programs have contributed to the development of appropriate mitigation measures by Sakhalin Energy based on the best scientific knowledge available, and to ensure that potential impacts of its operations on the Western Gray Whales are minimized.

Two women must keep the peace for the next 12 months or pay a fine of $1,500 after pleading guilty to causing a disturbance at Central Police Station.
Nataline Natiena Belgrave of Browne's Gap, Passage Road, St Michael, and Iyesha Regina Gibbs of Jordan's Road, Fitts Village, St James appeared before Magistrate Kristie Cuffy-Sargeant Monday, following the incident last Saturday.
In imposing the bond on the women, Cuffy-Sargeant chided them for the brazen nature of their behaviour at the police station.
"The two of you are very bold. In the presence of police you were carrying on in that way?" she said.
Belgrave was also charged with assaulting Andrew Boyce on the same date, as well as damaging his shirt.
She pleaded not guilty to both charges and was granted $7,000 bail with one surety.

Paramount and Hasbro's "Transformers: The Last Knight" has launched with a solid $5.5 million from about 3,000 North American locations in Tuesday night previews.
"Transformers: The Last Knight," starring Mark Wahlberg and directed by Michael Bay, opened at 7 p.m. Tuesday night at 546 locations for 3D Imax and RealD large format showings, then expanded to the remaining locations an hour later. The sci-fi action tentpole expands Wednesday to 4,069 venues domestically and is the only new wide release this weekend.
The preview number of $5.5 million is a match for the Thursday night previews from May 26 on Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales."
Paramount decided last month to move the release of "Transformers: The Last Knight" forward by two days. The four previous "Transformers" installments have grossed $3.77 billion worldwide, including $1 billion for the most recent "Transformers: Age of Extinction" in 2014.
Popular on Variety
"The Last Knight" is tracking to gross about $70 million during its five-day domestic opening — far lower than the $100 million debut for "Age of Extinction" during the three-day launch period of June 27-29, 2014. The reported production budget for this latest installment was $217 million.
Bay, who is directing his fifth and final "Transformers," has been touting the film as being the first to be shot entirely in Imax 3D. Aside from Wahlberg, the cast also includes Stanley Tucci reprising his role from "Age of Extinction," alongside Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, and John Turturro from the first three movies.
Newcomers include Isabela Moner and Anthony Hopkins. Moner portrays a street kid who's wise beyond her years. Hopkins is in the key role of Sir Edmund Burton, an astronomer and historian who lives with several Transformers on an estate in the British countryside.
Reviewers have not been impressed with "Transformers: The Last Knight," which has a 17% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
"The Last Knight" will open in 42 international markets on Friday, which represent 80% of the film's foreign footprint, including China, the U.K., Russia, and Korea.

Ghosts of Gondwana: The History of Life in New Zealand by George GibbsMay 23, 2007 at 12:13 pm | Posted in New Zealand, Non-Fiction | Leave a comment
Ghosts of Gondwana: The History of Life in New Zealand by George Gibbs
Did you know that giant Araucarian (Kauri-like) trees and New Zealand Crocodiles once lived around Lake Manuherikia in Otago in the Miocene era? If this interests you, then you will enjoy this readable (but information-dense), well- illustrated book on New Zealand natural history or historical biogeography. The author searches for the modern descendants of flora and fauna of Zealandia when it was set adrift from the ancient Gondwana continent. Current research in biology, genetics and geography has also turned up more recent arrivals across the ocean (in the last 10 million years!). This is an excellent summary of up-to-date research and theories on the origins of our unique, and often strange, flora and fauna.

Insomnia Home > Sonata
Sonata is a prescription medication that is used for the treatment of short-term insomnia in people who have difficulty falling asleep. Clinical studies show that people who took the drug fell asleep faster but did not necessarily stay asleep longer. The sleep medicine comes in the form of a capsule that should be taken immediately before bedtime. Keep in mind that Sonata is a controlled substance and may be abused. Potential side effects may include nausea, headache, and drowsiness.
Sonata® (zaleplon) is a prescription sleep medication used for short-term insomnia treatment. It is part of a class of medications called sedatives or hypnotics. It is most effective for people who have trouble falling asleep, rather than people who have trouble staying asleep.
(Click Sonata Uses for more information on what it is used for, including possible off-label uses.)
It is manufactured by King Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Sonata is part of a class of medications called sedative/hypnotics, which are known more commonly as sleep medicines. Like many other sleep medications, it is a controlled substance and may be abused.
The medication has been evaluated in several clinical studies for insomnia. In studies of Sonata for chronic insomnia, people who took the medicine fell asleep faster than people who did not take it. Similar results were seen in a study of Sonata in people with transient insomnia (insomnia that comes and goes). In these studies, it did not help people to stay asleep longer or to wake up less frequently during the night.
Also, studies have shown that Sonata can cause mild rebound insomnia (worsening of insomnia after stopping a medication). Rebound insomnia symptoms usually occurred for only one night after Sonata was stopped, after which people returned to their normal sleeping patterns.

The Last Day For Backflow Testing will Be Oct.21, 2019
Why it is important to test your backflow devices ?
Backflow is the backward flow of water through a pipe. The normal direction of water flow is from the utility water main to homes or businesses. The backflow of water from a home plumbing system into community drinking water happens when water is pulled backward due to a pressure loss in the utility main pipe or pushed back by a pressure source like a well pump. Backflow devices are mechanical plumbing devices installed in a plumbing system to prevent water from flowing backwards and contaminating the public water system. A properly tested and maintained backflow device can prevent the backflow of water of an unknown quality from backflowing into the community water system. Ohio requires that backflow devices be tested once a year.

I changed our nature table today. We still have to add flowers, but the colors are becoming more yellow now.
Heute habe ich unseren Jahreszeitentisch neu gemacht. Wir brauchen noch Blumen, aber man sieht schon, daß die Farben jetzt gelber sind.
Hello Eva, I like the care you take with your nature table. Yellow is a good August color :)
I've never read these Patricia Maclachlan books!
Thanks, sometimes it is easy to forget to change the nature table in the summer months, but there are subtle changes in nature and yellow is getting so strong these days, with all the goldenrod starting to bloom.
These books are quite nice, but a bit too "psychological" for a children's series: too much adult reflection taking place in children's thoughts, at least that is what it seems to me. But overall, they are still worth while reading.
Welcome and leave a comment if you like. I look forward to reading your lines.
Willkommen auf meinem Blog. Über einen Kommentar würde ich mich sehr freuen.

Three years ago, I moved my carpet cleaning business to North Carolina from Illinois. The competition in NC is vicious. I could always do a superior job with my Von Schrader Machines, but the competition was driving my prices farther down than what I was used to up North.
I found a nice profitable niche down here though. I received a call a couple years ago from a district manager for a Wendy's restaurant chain in this area. It was a random call from my yellow page ad. He said he was approaching a number of carpet cleaning companies, and he would like for us to send him a bid. I sent him a nice looking presentation that I had put together, using some materials I had from Von Schrader.
The manager was impressed enough to give us a opportunity to show him what we could do. We came in and gave the carpet a nice cleaning. We did three of his restaurants that night. The next day I received a call from him, saying that all three of his store managers called, raving about the job we did.
This process is superior to any other method of cleaning for this colorful carpeting. It gets the grease up and brings back vibrancy that you wouldn't imagine.
I've attached some pics of our first cleaning.
We began by using two LMX machines, but soon picked up a Mach 12 to help out with speed. Now, I take my son with me. I run the Mach 12 and he runs an LMX. We can go in, put up all the chairs, move the tables off the floor, clean the carpet and put everything back in about an hour. Last week we had it down to 40 minutes a store, start to finish. We are making more than an attorney per hour. Smile.
Needless to say we got the business in all twelve of their stores on a four week rotation. They have been customers of ours now for over two years. I can work one night a week and pull down over $2400 monthly. I know I could get all the business I want if I would approach other franchise owners in this venue.
An interesting side note here. One of the store managers wanted to re-arrange some of the booths in one of the restaurants. I knew it would take four people to move the things. I called a friend of mine to help push them around. He was a steam cleaner who owed me a favor. I thought I would like to see the difference between what he could do and what I could do with the Von Schrader machines. I told him I was running behind a little and, since he already had his truck there, could he help me clean the carpet. He said sure and off we were.
He had a brand new $50,000 high pressure, super vacuum steam cleaner in the back of his van. He dragged all his hoses out, hooked everything up and started to clean. I whispered to my son to get one of my Von Schrader machines ready. I chuckled. I fired 'er up and cut a path straight across a section of floor that the steamer had already cleaned. My buddy stopped dead in his tracks. The look in his eyes was like he had seen a ghost. He couldn't believe how much cleaner we got the carpet. I just smiled, knowing my nominal investment into my equipment was more than worth the price.
Herb, just pass this on to your guys. This could be a very profitable niche for them. If any one would like to see more pics, feel free to contact me. There is plenty business to go around.

I wanted to send you a couple of my, "Before & After" pics to be enterd into your contest...I hope I'm not too late! In the first set of pics, I "zoomed" in a bit too much on the "after" pic, but if you look closely you can tell that it is the same hallway...talk about a nasty job!!! One of the many reasons I love Von Schrader! At times I'm still amazed at the fantastic job the lmx is capable of!! Thanks Herb, for the continued support I get from you and the rest of your staff. You guys truly are the BEST! I know I'm just a "little" fish in a big sea of carpet cleaners but...I truly love what I do and I have the utmost faith in my machines and in Von Schrader...THANK YOU!
Take good care!

I started my carpet and upholstery cleaning business in February 2009. Mark demonstrated the LMX Carpet Extractor and I bought it for myself for my birthday. A month later I purchased the Esprit Carpet Extractor. Carpet cleaning is a great business. Even though mine is only part time, the extra cash is great. My father-in-law, John, has come out of retirement to work with me. We are convinced that the LMX and Esprit are safe, fast, and easy-to-use. Thanks to the VS staff, which keeps us informed with the latest cleaning techniques, procedures, and free classes, JC's is becoming well established in our community.

JC's Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning
My name is Dewey Mallory. I'm from the farm country of central Michigan. I have worked at General Motors for 30 years. I retired in 1989. I am now 74 years of age. I have been a Von Schrader Associate for the past 36 years. I started part time with a Von Schrader Carpet Deterger in the trunk of my car. Now I drive an SUV with my name on the sides... and buy a new one every year. Times are terrible. There is no place worse than the state of Michigan as far as I'm concerned. This is not the case for carpet cleaners. I am busy 7 days a week. This is the perfect time to be a carpet cleaner. I am as busy as I want to be. I love this job. I even dream about it. I never get in a hurry on a job. If a customer offers me a cup of coffee, with conversation, I accept and pause. I don't advertise... just word of mouth. One exception... I placed a small ad in our weekly paper. Why? Because the editor called me explaining that if I did not advertise, he would have to run ads for me... because he gets calls from readers who are wondering how to find me. I only charge 14 cents per square foot. I am probably the lowest price around, but I work alone, so I make money at that price. I can make $1,000 a week easily. Not bad for 74 years old. Everybody's house needs cleaning. There's always work available. I love it.
- Dewey
I got a call from a lady the other day who had some very dirty carpets. Her VERY LARGE dog basically ran the household and his dirty traffic patterns were deeply embedded. The house smelled like an outdoor doghouse. Honestly, I thought there's no way this carpet could clean. When I passed over the area with the first couple of passes, it only cleaned slightly. Then I pre-sprayed with the UPHOLSTERY pre-spray (cause that's all I had), raked it in, then went over it again... and honest to goodness the blasted carpet looked brand new. I thought the lady was going to kiss me. On top of that, she loved the smell the pre-spray left. $400 for two hours. Awesome!
- Tony
I just started my cleaning business with a Von Schrader upholstery machine and carpet cleaner. I had my first job today and the pay I received in only 4 hours of work was equivalent to over 1/2 a weeks pay of my normal 40hr job. I honestly cannot think of any other job that you can make that kind of money on without having a college education. This system is for real, not another one of those "get rich quick" schemes that seems too good to be true. You truly get exactly what is promised, a fun way to make a lot of money and a way to get out of your dead beat go nowhere 40 hour job that is making the big money for somebody else, why not let that person be you?
- Jonathan
These machines are actually worth their weight in gold! They run for years without breaking down, and if you ever need parts or advice you can call Von Schrader Technical Department. They will help you and answer all of your questions. No matter how many times you call they are NEVER rude or unprofessional.
– Jim
During the 1980's, Von Schrader equipment was the backbone of my cleaning business. Because it did such a terrific job, I was able to raise my two children on the income from that business. (I started the business in 1982 during a recession that nearly shut down the town where I lived.) Thank you.
Just wanted to let you all know how much I do appreciate all the support and advice I have received after becoming a Von Schrader associate. There is no company I know that backs there associates up like your company does, its one of the main reasons I chose to become an associate with Von Schrader.
This is the best opportunity a military wife with 2 children and a husband always on the move can have. I can have my business anywhere.
I am grateful that your company offers this opportunity to become an associate and to better your life without ongoing franchise fees or any fees of any sort after equipment is purchased and ongoing support as long as you own your equipment. I love the fact that with your company I can expand my business and offer more services at any point. Keep up the good work.

The CRTC finally approved BCE's acquisition of Astra Media, the second time that BCE presented a deal for approval. In this version of the deal BCE has sold interests and will divest itself of several other properties to fall under the thresholds for media concentration in its markets. This had been the biggest issue blocking CRTC approval of the deal in round 1.
Once BCE had complied with the thresholds, it seemed difficult to imagine how the CRTC could deny approval a second time. Nevertheless, opponents complained of too much market power and the likelihood of unfair practices through the vertically integrated structure of BCE. BCE owns a television broadcaster, specialty and pay channels, radio stations, internet distribution and both satellite and fibre based television delivery, known as Broadcasting Distribution Undertakings or BDU's in the regulatory world. I almost forgot. BCE has a telephone company as well!
These complaints are about concerns that smaller companies will not have the power to negotiate fairly with BCE for carriage or channel placement on Bell TV, for example. Will Bell have the ability to squeeze the smaller specialty channels in favour of the ones that it owns?
With approval, there are thirteen conditions that address these concerns as well as other matters. There are new rules to prevent BCE giving "undue preference" to its own properties and more requirements for public visibility into the negotiations.
This decision has a big impact in the Quebec market where Quebecor now faces a larger consolidated competitor. Cable company Cogeco had also campaigned strongly against approval. Finally, the CRTC tacked on an extra $72 million in tangible benefits that BCE (or any other buyer of a media company) must deliver to the broadcasting system.
Now BCE has an opportunity to show that bigger is better.
N.B. The author represented Ice Wireless and Iristel during the first BCE Astral approval proceeding, opposing certain components of the proposed tangible benefit plan. These components were not included in the second application.

Angelique Conger discovered the wonders of writing books later in her life. Books, however, have always been important to her. As a little girl in a small town, she was given her own library card at the tender age of five, highly unusual in those days. She remembers walking to the few blocks to the library on her own to choose the maximum number of books, four, and took them back three or four days later for four more. As she got older and she occasionally returned the books a day or two past the limit of two weeks. The librarians allowed her to straighten the shelves to pay off her fines.
Angelique reads a book, or three at once, much of the time. She reads most genres of books and until recently only toyed with writing them. Since then, she has spent many hours each day learning the craft of writing and editing.
The stories and mystery of the lives of ancient women enticed Angelique. Little is known about the first patriarchs, beyond their names, and little or nothing is known of their wives. While little is written about our mother Eve, not even the names are known of the others women who supported their patriarch husbands. How then, can she write their stories? They are a work of fiction, though she believes they sat beside her, whispering their stories into her ear. Read their stories in the series Ancient Matriarchs.
Angelique received her BEd (education) from the University of Hawaii and her MS from Utah State University. She taught elementary school for 14 years in Utah after following her husband around the world as he served in the United States Navy. She strived to do her best to obey the command given to Eve to replenish the earth. She has five children and nine grandchildren, so far. Her goal is to be a noble matriarch like Eve.
Angelique lives in southern Nevada with her husband, love bird, and two turtles. She enjoys the visits of her grandchildren—and their parents.

Have you ever witnessed a talented athlete on top of his or her game? It's amazing, really. Their explosive movements, subtle body language, game intelligence and the way they manipulate their opponents seem to be otherworldly. But in the face of stiff competition, how is the average athlete supposed to surpass their piers and achieve a level of stardom that encapsulates names like Tiger Woods, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Tom Brady and Maria Sharapova? An interesting look into the world of smart drugs gives us clarity on what high-achieving individuals are doing to get an edge over their opponents. These legal alternatives provide both athletes and knowledge workers with a profound level of calm and attention that facilitates rock-star levels of production.
What are Nootropics?
Without sounding like a terrible cliche, nootropics are supplemental products that can be used in your daily routine to improve various mental faculties such as verbal fluency, active recall (short-term memory), concentration, energy, reduced depression and the strength to fight procrastination. Although these supplements are fairly new to the market, years of research has been conducted to prove their effectiveness in both a personal and scientific setting. Research released by the U.S. National Library of Medicine took a dive into the world of smart supplements and how they influence the system of its users — their findings were amazing!
Perhaps the oldest of these supplements, the Racetam family, works with certain mechanisms in the brain responsible for achievement in life (focus, work ethic, comprehension, etc.). Although the products are available to you from various sports and health-related stores, their effects — according to user reports — rival prescription medication such as Addreall, Ritalin and Concerta.
How Will These Supplements Influence Your Life?
In simple terms, the introduction of nootropics into your life will drastically improve the amount of work you can produce and the vigor in which you attack your craft. For those of you that may perform athletic endeavors, your clarity and movements will become fluid, controlled, quick and to the point. Smart drugs allow you to logically break down moments that would otherwise appear foggy and dull. Many users have reported a "slowmotion" sensation during certain moments where their brain was able to forecast movements prior to them being committed. Although smart supplements will not give you psychic abilities (how cool would that be), they do allow you to make connections where other people would see none.
Moreover, certain substances like Phenibut have given users the courage and willpower to perform in dire and stressful situations. Have you found yourself with seconds on the clock, down by a few points and needing to capitalize on a mistake from your opponent? Phenibut will give you the mental fortitude to take chances where otherwise you would fold under the pressure.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Governor Eric Greitens' tax commission continues moving forward with their work, meeting again following the end of the legislative session.

In fact, the only members to appear in person were Chairman Joel Walters and Cole County's representative, Jay Barnes.
Last week, the commission stopped accepting written comments from the public, but the big news from the committee now is that they have finally set the times and venues for their four proposed town hall events.
The purpose of these events is to create a forum in which the committee may collect public opinions on issues surrounding Missouri's taxes. The first of these town halls is scheduled to take place this Wednesday, March 17, at Northwest Missouri State University, located in Maryville.
Here's the full schedule of town halls:
Wednesday, May 17th from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
JW Jones Student Union
NW Missouri State University Boardroom
800 University Drive, Maryville, MO 64468
Monday, May 22nd from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Hannibal, MO 63401
Friday, June 2nd from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Wednesday, June 7th from 4:00-6:00 p.m.

Main Conference Room
202 South John Q. Hammons Parkway
Springfield, MO 65806
The committee on Monday also continued receiving testimony on the state's tax policies, with presentations from Douglas L. Lindholm, the President and Executive Director of the Council On State Taxation (COST), Dr. Robert Cline, a senior advisor with OECD, and a representative from the Missouri Society of CPAs.
The next meeting will be Monday, May 22, at noon in the Truman Building. The commission must file their report by

Year Published: - 2010
Where the book was from:- My own copy (2nd hand - ex Highland Libraries)
Pages: - 40pp
Genre: - Graphic Novel
Location:- Chicago
How I came across it: - Reading reviews
Rating: - ***** ***** (But see below re whether it is a novel)
Describe the plot without giving anything away:-
A haunting tale of a girl who has an argument with her boyfriend and while wandering the streets afterwards, in the middle of the night, finds a strange mobile library with an unusual librarian.
General comments:- I've never read a 'Graphic Novel' before and I'm not sure that a graphic novel differs much from a cartoon or comic book. So does Asterix count as a novel? I don't really think so. According to Wikipedia "a graphic novel is a narrative work in which the story is conveyed to the reader using sequential art in either an experimental design or in a traditional comics format. The term is employed in a broad manner, encompassing non-fiction works and thematically linked short stories as well as fictional stories across a number of genres. Graphic novels are typically bound in longer and more durable formats than familiar comic magazines, using the same materials and methods as printed books, and they are generally sold in bookstores and speciality comic book shops rather than at newsstands. Such books have gained increasing acceptance as desirable materials for libraries which once ignored comic books." Even by this definition 'The Night Bookmobile' is at best a Graphic Short Story rather than a Graphic Novel.
With that reservation I have to agree with Neil Gaiman who says "The Night Bookmobile is a love letter, both elegiac and heartbreaking, to the things we have read and to the readers that we are. It says that what we read makes us who we are. It's a graphic short story, beautifully drawn and perfectly told."
If only one could have one's own night bookmobile to explore in the middle of the night when sleep won't some. How would we react to seeing all those forgotten books; the ones which we didn't finish and the well-thumbed pages of those we have re-read many times? Paradise is a night bookmobile.
Don't get too excited...
