CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - Oct 10, 2012) - The Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), and National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) have jointly issued a statement that supports state and federal health care regulators, agencies and other key stakeholders in the collective effort to compile an evidence-based, comprehensive analysis of the nation's health care workforce.
As organizations representing the health care professional licensing and regulatory boards in the U.S., FSMB, NABP and NCSBN recognize the inherent value of collecting workforce data in order to better ensure the quality and safety of the nation's health care system.
"The FSMB and its member boards have undertaken several initiatives to provide better information to workforce policymakers and physician education and training programs as they seek to address the growing challenge of access to health care," said Humayun Chaudhry, DO, President and CEO of the FSMB. "These include the first-ever comprehensive national census of actively licensed physicians in the U.S., and the collection of essential physician demographic and practice characteristics that will help us better understand where physicians are working and what is the focus of their practices."
Over the next decade, the U.S. faces health care workforce challenges that have the potential to impact patient access to quality and affordable care. It is imperative that strategies that not only document, but also address, future challenges and the maldistribution of the health care workforce are developed and implemented now.
"The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy is working closely with the Pharmacy Workforce Center (PWC) to establish a uniform and ongoing system of data collection and analysis. The introduction of NABP's Continuing Pharmacy Education (CPE) Monitor will provide real time workforce data on all pharmacists and technicians licensed or registered by U.S. Boards of Pharmacy," noted NABP Executive Director Carmen Catizone.
The member licensing boards of FSMB, NABP and NCSBN, which regulate a combined five million health care practitioners, stand ready and willing to assist state and federal health officials with understanding and addressing the nation's health care workforce because it is their firm conviction that this data will be instrumental in ensuring their ability to continue to meet the growing needs of patients across the nation.
"Because of the vital nature of this data, NCSBN is working with its member boards to become the national repository for data about the supply of nurses in the U.S. NCSBN aims to create a standardized national public use database for federal, state and local nursing workforce planning efforts," commented Kathy Apple, MS, RN, FAAN, NCSBN CEO.

Well, he had the hiccups when his Aunt Monica came to visit (she's the one that took the video).
On a side note, if you want to feel stupid in a few seconds (or minutes if you read slow), read this:
"Center for Biologically Inspired Materials and Materials Systems, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science"
Umm, yeah. I know what those words mean, just not when you put them together.
In other news, I've accomplished the following recently:
1. -edited-
2. I have consumed 6 salads in the last 3 days. Sunday's dinner was taco salad. Monday's lunch was taco salad and regular salad. Monday's dinner was taco salad. Today's lunch was taco salad and regular salad. I think that's enough salad for a bit. Give my tummy a rest.
3. I've exercised 5 times in the past 9 days. Nothing too extreme, but enough to work up a mild sweat. Last week I walked 3 days. The last day of walking was too cold to go outside in shorts, so I walked on the treadmill and lifted a few weights. Yesterday and today I've repeated the process of walking and a little weightlifting. Too bad Yvonne is too congested to smell my new body spray, "sweaty old man."
4. I've paid the bills for this month. Oh, crap. Next month starts in 2 days. Oh well. Sounded good, didn't it?
5. I'm really enjoying The Innocent Mage by Karen Miller. It's good enough to entertain me while I'm walking on the treadmill. I have high hopes for the rest of the series. I know, that really wasn't an accomplishment, but 5 is such a nice, round number.
Finally, I'm working on my Christmas list (Yvonne's working on hers too). So far the only thing on mine is The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie. I might add The Sunrise Lands by S. M. Stirling, but I'm trying to avoid hardback books (thus my not buying the most recent Star Wars book - gasp! - I know, what a shocker!).

Doctors are divided over the best treatment for a tick bite. The Infectious Diseases Society of American (IDSA) advises a single 200mg dose of doxycycline for an adult patient and 4m/kg up to 200 mg for a child at least 8 years of age based on a single study. The International Lyme and Associated Disease Society (ILADS) is opposed to a single dose of doxycycline for a tick bite. There is no evidence that a single dose of antibiotics is effective to prevent complications of Lyme disease or co-infections. I will review what we know, what we don't know and what I do in practice.

Managerial Accouting
As part of my forthcoming how to create a study paper project, I have decided to post a quantity of papers I have written for previous classes. WSU accounting graduates have an extremely sturdy track record of obtaining profession positions in public accounting firms, consulting firms, monetary institutions, high tech and commence-up organizations, manufacturing, agribusiness, communication, government, and health care organizations.
The final version of the equation may also be referred to as the Balance Sheet equation as it represents the data presented on that monetary statement. The advantages of cloud accounting are not limited to either little or huge organizations but can apply to each. The principal accounting expert association in the U.S. is the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The accounting market is increasing and remains steady due to the fact of the needs and demands.
For that reason, the accounting entries are recorded on the objective basis and is verifiable from the source documents. Complete featured accounting and payroll package with all the functions and reports any small business needs, such as Internet and e-commerce features. Out of all of the hot industries to choose from, accounting is the hottest mainly due to the fact of the selection, growth, and diversity it can give.
For example, if a modest business sells a widget to a client for $1,000 and it cost $700 to produce, the accounting transaction would be an enhance to money (assets) by the amount received from the customer, an increase to income (owner's equity) by the same quantity, a reduce to inventory (assets) by the quantity it cost to produce the widget, and an boost the expense of goods sold expense account (owner's equity) for the quantity it expense to generate the widget.
There is a set way that funds is recognized in the accounting planet of high financed firms, and the principles of revenue recognition are followed to make confident the recognition is interpreted proper. At the low-finish of the business markets , economical applications computer software makes it possible for most basic business accounting functions to be performed.

Have you ever spent a long and tiring day at work only to look at the clock and think "what in the world am I going to fix my family for dinner?". The thing is, you don't always feel like cooking and some days you just want to go home and crash but as long as your name is Momma, that just isn't an option. What is an option, is making life easier for you. There's nothing wrong with that either, the more you can automate life the more time you have with your family, that's why the concept of using leftover chicken is marvelous.
Here are 5 Ways To Use Leftover Chicken Tonight For Dinner
These meals can be thrown together using a store bought rotisserie chicken or by using last night's seasoned chicken breast.
1. Chicken & Salad
Combine romaine, chopped or pulled chicken breast, croutons, a variety of fruits and vegetables such as apples or tomatoes, cheese and your favorite salad dressing. This can be prepared the night before or using store bought, ready made items. You will save money if you are willing to chop and dice yourself though.
2. Chicken Quesadillas
If you are using grilled or baked chicken this is a wonderful way to make a small amount of meat go a long ways. Chop your chicken up into small portions and put into a medium size mixing bowl. Next, combine the chicken with a cheese variety and a small amount of salsa. Mix until all the ingredients are combine and place into a tortilla. Heat the filled tortilla on a skillet until cheese is melted. Serve with rice and corn for a hearty family meal.
3. Chicken Enchiladas
Very similar to the chicken quesadillas in preparation. Combine chicken, cheese and enchilada sauce into a bowl. Pour a small amount of enchilada sauce onto the bottom of a baking dish. Fill tortillas with stuffing and then roll the tortilla over. Place the open side of the tortilla bottom down into the baking dish and repeat until the dish is full. Drizzle enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until bubbly.
4. Chicken Burgers
Place chicken, lettuce, your favorite cheese and sauce onto a hamburger bun and serve with a side of chips or fries. For added yumminess heat before serving.
5. Chicken Wraps
To save a few cents on this meal opt out of using an actual wrap and opt in for using traditional tortillas. Place romaine, cheese, sauce and chicken onto the tortilla, in that very same order and fold over. Deliciousness this easy and cheap should be a sin. Your entire family will enjoy this meal, particularly if you heat the chicken before serving.
Leftovers will never be boring again and the best part- this makes for a cheap week of grocery shopping!

How long do they last?
Wrap well to stop the air drying any further and this will last for many weeks once opened.
Recipe tip
This really doesn't need much but maybe some other slices of meat and slither of manchego with some crusty bread.

Across North Carolina and Virginia, Bohler's teams proudly continue their participation in educational activities to boost the development of young students and aspiring engineers. Through hosting students within our offices, judging engineering competitions, and visiting classrooms, we're bringing students into the land development industry and inspiring them to pursue STEM careers.
Bohler Charlotte recently welcomed a group of local high school students to the office for an insider's look into a civil engineering career.
Our team led the students through some basics of civil engineering and land planning, and then guided them in designing their own site plan. Using props and following basic restrictions, students designed plans for either a multifamily or commercial development.
The event was organized through Engineering Explorers Post 228, which allows 40-50 students per year the opportunity to visit professionals in a variety of engineering disciplines. Bohler has participated annually in this program for the past few years.
In Raleigh, Design Engineers Paul Asche and Will Swarigan joined Associate Charlie Yowell to judge a Rube Goldberg competition between introductory engineering students at two local community colleges, Wake Tech and Durham Tech.
Approximately 400 students, who are pursuing an associate degree in engineering, were challenged to create a machine to pop a balloon in five or more steps.
The experience allowed them the opportunity to apply STEM concepts to real-world projects. Our team joined other industry professionals to determine the winner.
Bohler Associate Michael Birkland recently joined an engineering class at a Alexandria, VA high school to talk about the basics of civil engineering and land development. He shared about career opportunities in the industry, engaging students in conversation about some potential professional paths.
Mike also visited the Math Honors Society at Centreville High School. He used two of Bohler's marquee projects to show how he uses math in his career.
He also highlighted the importance of communication skills in our industry, demonstrating that at Bohler, we coordinate with many different stakeholders in the project development process.

A pizza chain that has become a local favourite in Dundee after making the Scottish city its first UK site believes its ultimate target of 60 branches is well within its reach given the early favourable reaction to the concept. FEJ explores the equipment at the heart of its plans to bring something different to the casual dining market.
Project Pie purports to offer a refreshingly contemporary twist on pizza-making, but its concept is by no means a leap in the dark for a company with some grand plans for the UK foodservice market.
The notion of producing fresh, tasty pizzas in a matter of minutes — which lies at the heart of its offering — is actually taken from across the pond, where it has gone from strength to strength since it was formed by owner James Markham. His vision for a fast casual, custom pizza chain came about through his own frustration at either being served bad pizza or having to pay through the nose for premium options.
In Dundee at least, where the regeneration of the city and sizeable student population proved a major attraction to the chain, the focus is heavily geared towards the 18-24-year-old crowd, who regard the prospect of being able to choose exactly what goes on their pizzas as something quite novel.
Operations manager, Chantel Nell, says that the success of the model in the US gives the company every confidence that it will take off just as well this side of the pond. One of the factors stacked in its favour is that from an operational point of view the concept is relatively uncomplicated.
Even during the most demanding periods of service it has easily been able to cope with up to 10 pizzas in the oven at once"
"Project Pie offers everybody artisan pizzas, custom-built, cooked in front of the customer in minutes," she says. "Starting from the pizza base, made in store daily, the customer then chooses from a number of toppings, sauces and cheeses, before being cooked in our stone pizza oven. Each pizza is cooked in minutes and customers have the option to eat in our purposefully relaxed and informal restaurant or take away to enjoy on the go or at home."
With expectations of cooking more than 500 pizzas on the busiest days and opening hours of 11am-10pm five days a week and an extra hour on top of that for the other two days, Project Pie's first task was to source an oven that was not only able to efficiently produce pizzas in large quantities but provide an element of theatre to boot.
Nell says her main priority was the capacity of the oven, simply because of the influx of customers it anticipated. "Initial research told us that we had the potential to become a favourite for many of the students and young adults living in the city. With this in mind we needed to make sure we had sufficient capacity in the oven, not only to be able to produce multiple pizzas simultaneously, but to an exceptional standard."
Having taken a lead from the chain's American counterparts, as well as conducting its own separate research into the types of pizza equipment available on the market, Nell settled on the Wood Stone Fire Deck series.
"With its outstanding capacity and its mesmerising display, including three flame jets, we were confident that the oven would be able to efficiently cope with the demand we required," she explains.
Project Pie, which is run as a franchise in the UK by John Cananvan, worked closely with Wood Stone's UK distributor Jestic on the specification and installation, with the company keeping it updated on the progress of the order as it waited for it to be shipped to the UK. Once in place and commissioned, the rest of the kitchen was built around the new oven, reinforcing its position as the centrepiece of the food preparation area.
It has been a case of 'so far, so good' for the firm, with an incredible 520 pizzas served in one shift alone. Unsurprisingly, Friday and Saturday evenings are when the equipment takes its biggest hammering. "The Wood Stone oven has been really impressive, even during the most demanding periods of service, easily coping with up to 10 pizzas in the oven at once," says Nell.
The oven's variable temperature settings, meanwhile, ensure the chain is able to control the heat in the chamber to suit the capacity, while the digital temperature display on the front of the oven has proved to be something of a talking point for customers amazed at just how hot the chamber gets.
Project Pie's plans to open an average of six stores a year for the next 10 years underscores its ambition. And with every store that opens, its tagline of 'Everyday artisan pizza, custom built by you' hinges on harnessing the power of the stone hearth oven.
Flame game
One of the unique aspects of the Wood Stone Fire Deck is that it has three banks of flames within the oven chamber, one at either side and one at the back.
The flames at either side are used for the cooking process, while the flames at the back of the oven provide a visual backdrop to the appliance.
"Our customers are fascinated by the process, often standing to watch their pizza cooking and admire the hard work and dedication of our team," says Project Pie's operations manager Chantal Nell. "It's not just the visual effect of the oven either. The authentic stone base and variable temperature means the pizzas cook quickly but evenly, resulting in a delicious, thin, crispy base and a wonderful, uniform colour."

I live in the market town of http://ckgbooks.com/anja/5552 Malton, to the east of usa dating sites for adults York. Originally from Harrogate district, I travelled a good deal and spent most of my adult life between London and Italy.
My grandfather was a devout Catholic, awarded the Benemerenti by Pope Paul VI for his services to the Church. It will come as no surprise, then, that I went to a Catholic school, but I never felt comfortable with the dogma, let alone the idea of an almighty. I soon realised that belief in any form of supernatural governance could not satisfy me; it didn't make any sense. By the time I'd stopped believing in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus, I'd put gods well and truly behind me.
I suppose I've been a une rencontre wikipedia film humanist nearly all my life. As a student I came across the http://crisp-india.org/merider/4964 Renaissance humanists and thought what an enlightened bunch they were. I studied architecture, and that really opened my mind in all sorts of directions. Eventually I made my way in the world with my own company selling country houses in Italy. Getting to know Italy and its people so intimately gave me an insight into how rencontrer des espagnols en france religion can exert influence even in so-called why not find out more secular societies.
I had a great time in Italy but my work didn't fullfil me. I needed stimulation of a more intellectual kind. So I changed completely and became a writer. I have always loved novels and telling stories. When I returned to Britain I joined the British Humanist Association (now Humanists UK). I soon realised that I could use my skills to help people by becoming a site grauit gay celebrant, to help tell their stories at one of the most important times in their lives. As someone who has always taken pride in professionalism, gaining Humanists UK accreditation was something that meant a lot to me.
When I ran my business I also became very involved with the leading international professional body. Our market was not regulated, so the only way to demonstrate a commitment to professionalism was by submitting to a voluntary Code of Conduct. I spent many years chairing that organisation and beefing up the Code of Conduct. Celebrancy is the same. There are no regulations and any Tom, Dick or Harriet can offer their services. For me it is a no-brainer: being trained by the Humanists UK organisation and submitting myself to its rigorous continual professional development AND Code of Conduct is the best way to ensure YOU get the quality you expect and deserve. I pay a levy to Humanists UK, something I do willingly, for ongoing support, continuing professional development, back up and insurance. And because I am a humanist. You can find my Humanists UK web pages here: http://humanist.org.uk/steveemmett/
I was delighted and honoured to be a finalist in the Good Funeral Awards 2014, having been nominated Celebrant of the Year by families for whom I had worked during the year.
I am also a supporter of The Natural Death Centre and have further committed myself to the following declaration:
"As a celebrant who shares the values of the Natural Death Centre Charity, I see my role as supportive rather than directive, and I undertake to offer my services to help each family I work with, to ensure they have the best possible funeral for the person who has died.
I believe that families should be encouraged to do as much as they feel able to in the creating and carrying out of a funeral ceremony, and I will encourage families that I work with to send The Natural Death Centre the story of their funeral so that others can be inspired to be fully involved with creating ceremonies too."
I work throughout Yorkshire and the Humber including York, Leeds, Huddersfield, Pontefract, Wakefield, Harrogate, Ryedale, Whitby, Scarborough, Bridlington, Driffield, Beverley, Hull (mainly the postcodes beginning with YO, HG, LS, WF, HD and HU) but I will travel anywhere – including overseas – if it is practical.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me, whether about a funeral or about Humanism. If I can't help you myself I will surely be able to recommend another celebrant in the "Humanist Ceremonies™" network.

I am trying to setup HDFS backup using S3 Buckets on Clouera. I have searched the internet high and low for the syntax to do this via CLI and have had no luck!
After many hours I have figured out how to get this to work
If you have this defined in the properties file use:
sudo -u hdfs hdfs dfs -cp hdfs://nameservice/* s3n://@BUCKET-NAME/
If you do not have it defined:
sudo -u hdfs hdfs dfs -cp hdfs://nameservice/* s3n://SECRET-KEY:PRIVATE-KEY@s3://s3-us-BUCKET-NAME/
I hope that saves many users hours of guessing and configuration
Ok so my issue is
What is the syntax for s3 vs s3n? s3n works flawlessly however it limits files to less than 5gb in size!
Since I am backing up HDFS which is >5gb in size I will need to use the s3://
What am I missing? Changing the above commands from s3n:// to s3:// does gives me the following error:
cp: `s3://BUCKET-NAME/': No such file or directory

You have to use distCp. There's an example or two here:

Beers brewed with peppers are quaint. And I have tried many in my time. Some draw inspiration from Oaxacan Moles, such as New Holland's El Mole Ocho or Ska Brewing's Mole Stout, which inevitably include the use of chiles like ancho peppers. Other brewers just brew beers with chiles, like Rogue's Chipotle Ale. With these beers, it is more about the heat, rather than the style.
While I love Mole beers, I have to say I am also a big fan of the chile beers as well. That is what drew me to Stone Brewing's Crime, a supped up version of its Arrogant Bastard. The Crime is a blend of the Arrogant Bastard and the Oaked Arrogant Bastard, both of which are aged in Kentucky bourbon barrels and then finished with jalapeno, serrano other chile peppers. The brewers produced this beer for, in their words, "those who adore both pain and pleasure (but mostly pain), those who should know better and those who don't know better." They continue, "[t]he result is something unsuitable for the faint of heart, mind or palate."
Well, I am certainly not one who is faint of heart, mind or palate, especially when it comes to chiles. I have over a dozen different types of peppers and chiles in my spice drawer and pantry, covering the entire range of the Scoville scale. So, I'm game for this beer.
I bought a bottle of Stone's Crime, 2015 version. According to the brewers, the beer is "hoppy with lots of oak and malt." I would agree with that assessment. The hops are clearly present up front, competing with the peppers' piquancy. The malts are present as well, but they definitely play a second fiddle. This role is not only secondary to the hops and the peppers, but also the bourbon.
As for the finish, the brewers note that there is a "[l]ong finish [that] reveals oak, vanilla, bourbon and malt that produce caramel flavors with peppers adding a pleasant tamarind, subtle tropical fruit flavors and significant heat." Once again, the brewers are mostly on target. There was definitely oak and bourbon, but I could also sense the vanilla. These elements came together, and I somewhat sensed the a caramel flavor with a tamarind note. I did not sense any tropical fruit flavors though. There was, however, a good sting from the peppers. Much of that heat was felt on the back of the palate and throat as the beer went down.
Overall, this is a great beer and a good companion to Stone's Punishment, which I previously reviewed. In some respects, this beer is better than Punishment because the chiles do not completely overwhelm the other aromatic and flavor elements. Definitely worth a try.

Every organization serving the homeless and other vulnerable populations faces the challenge of employee burnout or other dysfunction of front line workers.
Richmond, California (PRWEB) May 05, 2016
"If your organization serves vulnerable populations, like the homeless," says Matt Bennett, MBA, MA, "there's a high risk of employee burnout and other dysfunction, especially for frontline workers. But if you can create a culture of wellness, then employee health and resilience recovers and employees are better able to perform their duties."
Bennett is chief innovation officer at the Coldspring Center for Health and Innovation in Denver, CO. He is a keynote speaker on "Creating a Culture of Wellness" at Saffron Strand's 7th Annual Homeless Workforce Conference -- "Working with the Homeless: How to Survive & Thrive in the Trenches" -- June 13-14, 2016 at the Richmond Memorial Auditorium in Richmond, CA.
Patricia Falotico, CEO of the Robert K. Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership in Atlanta, GA also is a keynote speaker who focuses on "How Frontline Workers Can Become Effective and Inspiring Servant Leaders."
Servant leaders constantly ask: Are those we serve growing as persons? Are they becoming healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to serve others? Servant leadership puts the service relationship first, not the leadership relationship, which is a new way of working with the homeless. But it is a natural and effective form of leadership for anyone working with vulnerable populations.
"Working with the Homeless" features other national and San Francisco Bay Area authorities to explore strategy, policy, and programming to ensure the wellness and performance of those who work with the homeless and other vulnerable populations. Helping at risk youth is especially traumatic. So the Conference has a special emphasis on supporting those who work with homeless, runaway, and foster care youth, helping them enter or re-enter the workforce.
Workshops both days provide target valuable skills training, including:
- Management Strategies for Reducing Stress and Burnout among Homeless Service Provider Personnel
- Workplace Bullying: What It Is and What To Do About It
- Trauma Informed Excellence — TIE — Leadership
Other workshops explore innovative therapies to help "heal the healers" -- art therapy, music therapy, dance therapy, drum therapy, labyrinth therapy, and more.
The 2016 Homeless Workforce Conference is a unique national forum that provides specialized training and continuing education for those working in the fields of employment, health care, and housing services. The Conference helps program managers, civic leaders, and anyone assisting the homeless, hard-to-employ, and long-term unemployed. The overarching goal is to empower the homeless and those at risk of homelessness to re-enter the workforce for the long term.

by: Dave Robson (Associate Director, Research and Development) on
Thu Jan 9, 2014
Hi everybody, and Happy New Year.
Apologies for the hiatus in blogs at the end of last year, but here we go again…
Matter of opinion
I was recently asked for an opinion on Beneficial Ownership, and how best to define it. The question arose as a result of the increased thrust for transparency and the potential implementation of public registers. At the moment, different legal instruments adopt different beneficial ownership concepts, according to the purposes followed by those instruments: e.g. the 3rd MLD, FATCA and so on.
So the question was posed to me around convergence – could there be a common ground?
What's out there now?
I rather like the simplicity of this definitionfrom Investopedia (I have abridged slightly):Definition of 'Beneficial Owner'
There's also the FATF one of course:Beneficial owner refers to the natural person(s) who ultimately owns or controls a customer and/or the natural person on whose behalf a transaction is being conducted. It also includes those persons who exercise ultimate effective control over a legal person or arrangement. (Reference to "ultimately owns or controls" and "ultimate effective control" refer to situations in which ownership/control is exercised through a chain of ownership or by means of control other than direct control).Finally, a document from Alacra seemed to have already taken apart the issue somewhat, based on the 4th MLD info already released:"The Fourth Directive generally defines "beneficial owner" as "any natural person(s) who ultimately owns or controls the customer and/or the natural person on whose behalf a transaction or activity is being conducted." Further the beneficial owner "shall at least" include, for corporate entities, the natural person who "owns or controls a legal entity through direct or indirect ownership or control over a sufficient percentage of the shares or voting rights." (It also compares it to FinCEN and FATCA, which seemed like a useful exercise)
Summing upWhat struck me, having had a root around the internet, is exactly the point that was made to me in the first place – there are a plethora of views and definitions, depending whether you are looking at tax, trusts, securities etc.In respect of wider research in this area, my brief dive into it demonstrated that tax seemed to be the most broadly covered area. The UN and OECD come up a few times but the publications appeared very academic/legalistic – in my view making the issue more complicated. So I come back to my first point, from Investopedia. I honestly don't know how workable this is, but for me, simplicity is the key here.
I particularly like the second part of the Investopedia bit: "any individual or group of individuals that, either directly or indirectly, has the power to influence decisions". Does it have to be more complicated than that?Less is more?
By way of underpinning my argument… if you consider UK Financial Services regulation, it has broadly moved from a lot of rules, through principles, to outcomes. We are now in a position where the FCA is increasingly saying 'you tell us how what you are doing meets our required outcome…' ie: we give you a high level idea and it's up to you to work with it.So this is my (perhaps naive) view on this BO definition. If it was high level and pretty much all encompassing, would it then leave less room for legalistic interpretations and loopholes?It's a tough one.
What does anyone else think?

Brian's background is rooted in a family of land surveyors so it's no wonder his career now spans more than 30 years. Brian was licensed as an Ontario land surveyor in 1993. His field of experience covers all aspects of the survey profession from field work and CAD drafting to project and business management. His project experience includes plans of subdivision and condominiums, multi-purpose reference plans, new home construction services, topographic surveys, geodetic control surveys, and more. Brian has also developed an expertise utilizing GPS in conjunction with ATV's and road vehicles.
While his work has led him to many types of projects, he enjoys working on land development projects where he can witness and participate in the proper development of our neighbourhoods and cities. A particularly rewarding project for Brian was the Victoria Park Lake improvements which saw a lake in the middle of Kitchener's downtown core returned to pristine condition.

Shake Shack to Open on Central Avenue Plus More Retail News

Though many people are out of town, we took a trip around town to see what August had to hold.
First, we noticed that a large Shake Shack is opening in the Dalewood Shopping Center on Central Avenue in front to HMart. That should be welcome news for burger lovers as Shake Shack's burgers are made from 100% all-natural Angus beef, with no antibiotics or hormones. Shake Shack also offers crispy chicken sandwiches, flat top hot dogs and cheese fries. For dessert there's rich and creamy frozen custard with a mouthwatering choice of topping like dark chocolate chunks, chocolate truffle cookie dough and Doughnut Plant doughnuts.
Hand-spun shakes come in vanilla, chocolate, caramel, black & white, strawberry, peanut butter or coffee Fair Shake. To drink the menu includes shack-made lemonade, beer, and red and white wine. Don't forget their breakfast sandwiches too.
I have a feeling we will all be hanging out on Central Avenue soon!
In Scarsdale Village, it looks like the new bookstore is planning a late summer opening, and we're hopeful that we'll welcome Bronx River Bookstore to Spencer Place by the end of the month.
We found some intriguing sales of summer merchandise and great new looks for the fall.
At Mixology on Spencer Place, we spotted these cool camouflage or silver vests with fur-trimmed hoods that will be fun for cooler weather. Mixology is hosting a series of designer trunk shows at their Rye Brook and Scarsdale stores throughout August. Stop by to see what's in for Back to School.
There were many busy shoppers and tables loaded with sale merchandise at LF on Harwood Court, where they are now offering up to 70% off on their spring and summer collection. Find denim shorts and skirts, jean, knit tees, playsuits, sweaters, woven tops and more. Just plowing through the merchandise is a good way to beat the heat.
Pookie and Sebastian on East Parkway is offering up to 75% off their summer goods and already has a nice collection for fall featured in the front of the store. Get a good deal on summer whites and cottons or try on knit sweaters, fur vests, leather jackets and and an appealing mix of tops, pants and sweaters in taupe, gray, khaki and mauve for fall.
I Am More on Spencer Place also has a summer sale in progress. We liked this display of silky camis paired with cut off denim shorts. They also have a rack of jeans on sale.
The Dark Horse, a unique gift shop appears to be running their summer sale on Harwood Court.

Long term car hire UK. Save money when you get a more luxurious car with long term car hire in the U.K.
: Long term car hire UK - Is it the best way to "own" this vehicle?
Advantage 1 of Long Term Car Hire
Save money
The first and the foremost advantage of going for long term car hire is the budget. You could save a big amount of money by getting cars on a long term car hire UK contract. It is better than the option of buying a brand-new car, or even buying a second hand car. In your long term car hire U.K. contract you could get a new car! You don't have to pay any lump sum of money just a £500 deposit by debit/credit card. You have to pay the first monthly charge upon collection, then 30 days later the next. Subsequent payments will be taken from your card .This way, you maintain a complete record of the total expenditures, if you need to.
Advantage 2 of Long Term Car Hire
A more prestigious car
The second advantage is that you could get high class cars, while paying less. For example, in a Volvo contract hire or lease, you could lay hands on some of Volvo's best cars. And so with other prestige brands. The same could be done for any of the cars or commercial vehicles we list. The best part about these contracts is that after 6 months, in most of our contracts, you just return the car to us. The depreciation on these luxurious cars can be substantial; which means that you still have to pay less than what you might have paid, if you had purchased the car.
Advantage 3 of Long Term Car Hire
Maybe no maintenance charges
You could also save money by opting to change the car at the end of the six month long term car hire U.K. contract to a different vehicle. Modern cars have long service intervals so you may not have to pay for the monthly maintenance of the cars either.
Advantage 4 of Long Term Car Hire
Potential considerable tax savings
In addition, there are other advantages of having an effective and cheap long term car hire U.K. contract, rather than paying for purchase of a car. Think of the tax position. People who would prefer not to pay more tax could save a huge chunk off the amount from the annual tax that they pay, during the use of the vehicle. This could help a company operate vehicles on a low and fixed budget. The contracts we offer are long term car rental U.K. agreements, which are usually 100 % tax deductible. Key points are you don't own the vehicle and it's not on your balance sheet. Check this with your accountant if you haven't thought of it before.
User ship without ownership
Personal car leasing enables people to get the services of a vehicle. The person uses it as if it were theirs. You have user ship without ownership. What could be better!
Ten vehicles, or one?
Whether a business user needs ten cars for a business project, or its employees, or whether an individual needs just one vehicle for their own use, all you need to do is take out a long term car hire UK contract from hiremorecar. The vehicles we offer range from luxurious Volvo 4x4's to economical Toyotas.
Year after year, for years, long term car hire UK contracts have been the biggest growing sector in the British automotive industry.
There are a wide range of cars to choose from. It is this factor that makes it possible for our customers to choose this type of hire since they get the type of car they have always wanted, but at a cheaper long term cost, since they are not purchasing but hiring. Different cars have different hiring hire values, and as a result you are able to choose that vehicle that best suits your needs.
Other hiring/acquiring options
Apart from the personal contracts for individuals and companies we offer as discussed, we offer other hiring/acquiring options. These options include:
Personal long term car hire has made life easier for individuals and companies alike. Customers can drive vehicles which they do not have to service, maintain, or buy.

By Andrea Shalal
BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's Social Democrats on Sunday rejected NATO's target of spending 2 percent of national output on defense and accused German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her conservatives of kowtowing to the demands of U.S. President Donald Trump.
With Germans set to vote in a national election next month, SPD leader Martin Schulz and Thomas Oppermann, who heads the center-left party in parliament, issued their strongest criticism to date of Merkel, the NATO spending target and Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen.
"We say a clear no to the 'two-percent target' of Trump and the CDU/CSU," the two leaders wrote in an essay for the Funke Mediengruppe newspaper chain, referring to Merkel's Christian Democrats and their Bavarian sister party.
"It's not only unrealistic, it is simply the wrong goal," they said, in comments aimed at differentiating the SPD from Merkel's conservatives after four years in a "grand coalition".
The comments put the SPD on a collision course with U.S. officials, who began pressing Germany long before Trump's election last November to increase its military spending.
The SPD leaders, whose party is lagging Merkel's Christian Democrats in the polls by 15 percentage points, said Germany would have to nearly double current defense spending from 37 billion euros to meet the NATO target. That would make it the largest military power in Europe - a goal they said "no one could want" given Germany's Nazi history.
Instead, they said, Germany should focus on building a strong European defense union and, ultimately, a European army - a stance that may resonate with a deeply pacifist German public that remains skeptical of military engagements.
"Merkel and the CDU/CSU make themselves small vis-a-vis Donald Trump when they answer his provocations around the two-percent target by saying, 'Okay, fine, we'll put in more money,' as if we didn't have any better ideas what to do," they wrote.
They said increased military spending should be matched by higher outlays for diplomacy, humanitarian aid and crisis prevention.
Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel, a former SPD leader, has also questioned the NATO target, but the Schulz-Oppermann essay was far more explicit, driving a further wedge between the parties in Merkel's right-left coalition.
Merkel, who is poised to win reelection on Sept. 24, insists that Germany is committed to reach the two percent target. She has also chided Gabriel pointedly, noting his predecessor signed off on the NATO commitment when it was first made years ago.
Merkel's conservatives have about 38 to 40 percent support in the polls, and hope to form a coalition government with one or more of the smaller parties, after the election.
Political analysts say the SPD's tougher stance on military projects could help lay the groundwork for a post-election coalition with the pro-environment Greens and the Left party.
But Sevim Dagdelen, a leading member of the Left party, said it was deceitful to call for more spending on European defense projects as the money would still probably come at the expense of social programs.
In June, the SPD also reversed course and rejected plans to lease Israeli drones that can carry weapons to protect German soldiers serving in Afghanistan and Mali, sparking sharp criticism from von der Leyen and the top officer in the German air force.
The essay also criticized von der Leyen's leadership as defense minister since late 2013, citing continued problems with equipment, a lack of planning, and challenges in recruitment.

Decorating for Fall
Check out our unique GreenWay combinations and planters too. Sabina takes you well beyond just simple and traditional mums. Think baskets with fall grasses, colourful berries, brilliant foliage, and fragrant flowers.
Instead of buying corn stalks and bales of hay to decorate for Thanksgiving, why not look at a perennial vine which will be brilliantly coloured every fall, saving you the need to annually decorate. Add in a couple of perennial fall planters and you're all set for years to come.
We also do custom plantings for our customers. Why not bring in your summer planters and let us add a few fall colours into them. We can customize them with whatever type of plants you would like. Make your planters last late into October.
Flowering or Ornamental Kale in Sabina's mind is one of the most under-rated plants for stunning fall colour. A relative of traditional edible kale, and a member of the cabbage family, flowering kale provides ruffled beauty to gardens, baskets, and containers. Available in a range of colours from purples to pinks to white and green, kale can be planted at any time of year in your baskets or gardens and will be stunning come September.

The WVSSAC Sports Medicine Committee recently met to continue discussing health- and safety-related issues for student-athletes in member high and middle schools.
According to a WVSSAC press release, the committee consisting of medical doctors, certified athletic trainers, physical therapists and chiropractors meets several times each year. The WVSSAC has been a national leader in developing the return-to-play protocol for athletes who have been identified with signs or symptoms of a concussion.
The committee has turned its attention to developing a template for schools to review their emergency action plans during interscholastic activities. This emergency action plan would include sudden cardiac arrest awareness and the use of AEDs.
Dr. Greg Elkins of Hamlin, a member of the National Federation of High School State Associations Sports Medicine Advisory Committee as well as the WVSSAC Sports Medicine Committee, said, "The development and implementation of emergency action plans (EAPs) for interscholastic practices and games is extremely important for us in West Virginia where very few schools have athletic trainers for all sports. Understanding and practicing what to do in an emergency can decrease the time before treatment is started which has been proven to save lives."
"We need to provide the leadership to ensure that our student-athletes and fans attending the games are as safe as possible," said WVSSAC executive director Gary Ray. "This committee is invaluable in researching and recommending the necessary direction to provide a safe environment.
"Any activity has inherent risks but with the assistance of these medical professionals we hope to minimize that risk."
Recently the sports medicine committee developed guidelines for heat and hydration and reviewed the annual physical exam forms to include information to parents about concussions. The committee is studying the impact of the new program implemented by U.S.A. Youth Football, "Heads Up Football," which hopes to change coaching techniques and player and parent attitudes towards football safety at all youth levels.
Dr. Dan Martin, professor of exercise science and athletic training at West Virginia Wesleyan College, annually collects data from member schools to examine the nature and severity of interscholastic related injuries during competition and practice. This information helps the committee to discuss potential high risk behaviors and recommend changes to the rules governing sports activities.
"This may well be the most important committee that serves the WVSSAC," said Ray. "Without their leadership and dedication, we could not be able to provide coaches, officials, school administrators, athletes and parents the most updated information regarding sports-related health and safety issues."

The Four Expanses of the Heavens Revealed Part 1 - Where do Believers go when they die before the Rapture - Milton Goh Sermon
The Four Expanses of the Heavens Revealed Part 1 - Where do Believers go when they die before the Rapture - Milton Goh Sermon
Have you ever experienced the loss of a loved one, or perhaps wondered where you will go when you depart to be with the Lord one day if the Rapture doesn't happen in your lifetime?
The curious thing is that most people think the answer is "heaven" where God's throne, the Heavenly Father and Jesus are - God's word doesn't agree with this thinking!
Don't worry we are not going to hell/Sheol/Hades either.
So the big question is, "Where do believers go when they fall asleep in death before the Rapture?"
In this sermon, you will receive a clear and fresh revelation about it, and the answer will cause your spirit to jump in joy because it's more familiar than you think!
I hope this revelation that I received from the Holy Spirit will greatly bless you today, in Jesus' name!
Some testimonials about this sermon from our viewers
"Hi Milton, just finished reading your book. Truly awe-inspiring! The Holy Spirit is all over this. I say this because I only ever listen to teachings from a few ministers, but I kept being drawn to this teaching. After many distractions, I eventually got around to actually watching your video. I'm so glad I did. It created a new hunger in me to dig deeper in the Word, but this time reading it through a different lens. Your book has definitely helped me understand this topic a lot better. Thank you for sharing this revelation with us Milton Goh. May many more be blessed by your work as I have been. God Bless you abundantly!" - Lenore from Singapore
"Milton brother you are such a blessing in Christ!" - Michelle from USA
"Milton is abundantly blessed with the gifts of both preaching and deeper teaching. Milton can do different voices too!" - Donald from USA
"My friend and teacher Milton Goh goes into some great details with this word... this is a deep study!" - Evangelist Michael Clark from USA
"Thank you for the revelation..wonderful sermon... Thank you for the clarification...well explained..May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord." - Jeniefer
"Thank you Milton. God bless you and preach it! I'm truly blessed. The Lord shall increase your anointing and your vessel filled with His glory! Amen!" - Kim from Singapore
""Wow! What a great sermon, Milton! Indeed you are a great preacher, with wisdom and revelation of the Knowledge of Christ! I have been very blessed, and I have learned something totally new, that I never knew! Praise Jesus! I am shocked that Jesus did not even descend to hell to disarm the devil of the keys and make a triumph as is always preached!! Very shocking to me, I look forward to reading that sermon also! God bless you and expand your ministry in Jesus' name!" - Nitta Nierra from Belgium

Testimonial about Milton's writing:
"Milton Goh my brother, your insight on Grace has set me free from 20 yrs of addiction.
I was a 7 time felon but by the GRACE of God I am now an ordained minister.
Here is some of my story: I was saved in Dec 2016 and started evangelizing in July of 2017 as soon as I was released.
My ministry has led over 800 to Jesus. I go to jails, rehabs, homeless shelters plus numerous churches!
Your notes and sermons allowed me to find rest in Jesus. I was getting tired trying to perform what I thought God needed from me.
You have made me realize it's 100% the CROSS and now I go constantly for Jesus but never get tired.
Thanks for your wisdom and love for Jesus. May God bless you and your family!"

Ha, there are no flames of any kind that go into the software
Agreed, Aspire is pretty great (which is why we support it) but certainly not the only choice.
Perhaps we could see some really creative layouts by Eric. What would be even better is to see more of his signage. After all he has lots of sign suggestions!
I typically don't post a lot of projects unless it helps people with their workflows. One of the driving factors for me creating this software was doing complex multimedia projects like this:
And this:
And this:
These projects are all multimedia, IE they required not just the CNC, but a paint shop, vinyl/sign work, 3D printing, and even circuit board design. These projects all required 3D models so that the ideas can be communicated with the client, and also the same models were used for all of the engineering as well.
Extracting the machining/printing/cutting/circuitry information from the models has always been a chore. In many cases it takes longer to get that information out of the model than it does to actually create the design. Things can get really time consuming when design changes are needed, or when multiples of a project need to be made but they have slight variations.
That's why I'm creating software to make this data extraction easier. While the software isn't quite at "arcade machine" level processing just yet, 2D signs like the one I posted at the beginning of the thread are well within it's scope of capability, and I think really illustrate the potential for a lot of time savings for users, which is why I posted that project in the beginning.
For those that are interested in trying the software, check it out at www.getfabber.com. It's a free beta right now.
Nice work Eric. Now off topic of the sign, Sketchup from the little I have used it is not a parametric modeler correct? Is there a plugin that can make it that way? I like the capability of editing that parametric design software gives.
Keep posting Eric, I like how you think. I enjoy reading how people solve problems.\
I sue like making money!.
This looks like a looser.
Joe Crumley
Joe, are you missing a few keys on your keyboard?
Anyway, I'd take a close look at the joinery I've used on these projects, it's far from "looser".
Or, perhaps you meant that it's a "loser" in that I didn't make money on these projects. You've challenged me in wallet measuring in the past, and I'm not going there.
Thanks so much James. I'm happy to share my workflows and help problem problem solve. Let's hope that another thread doesn't get ruined by one bad apple.
Brian, SketchUp does have parametric function in it called Dynamic Components, but it's not that conducive to modeling for CNC cutting. When you make something parametric in SketchUp you often wreck arcs and circles. I actually teach parametric design in SketchUp (and other programs) and can point you at some of my free online classes if you're interested. It's great for space planning however and cabinetry. I actually have a software product that I've made for that, and I'm happy to share if you want to see it but I don't want this to come across as an advertisement for software.
I've been using both Onshape and Fusion 360 for parametric design. I greatly prefer Ohshape. It's parametric abilities are top notch. Check out this video:
Joe, you won't find any "looser" joinery in there.
I've used Viz before and it is quite interesting. It doesn't support arcs and circles just yet. I've talked with the folks that make it and it sounds like that those features are on the horizon though.
Here's an OnShape drawing of a table I make on a regular basis:
If you click on the "Master parts" tab on the bottom left you can alter the dimensions of the table and it will automatically rebuild itself. Go back to the assembly tab to see the changes.
Parametric drawings like this for something that needs to be made over and over that have variations are really useful.
It's really useful for things like cabintetry as well.
What are you designing and making in Max/Maya? And what's your process for getting from those programs to toolpaths?

I Am Being Looked After
I Will Continue to Fulfill My Commitments to Peace and Grace
"Can such thing be, and overcome us like a summer's cloud, without our special wonder?" — William Shakespeare
To overcome my feeling of being lost, alone and afraid; overwhelmed by the challenges I now face, I am going through my "tool belt" of coping mechanisms that I have added along life's way. To reclaim my ability to take part again in life, I have discovered that I must reclaim the gift of commitment. I have many personal commitments: living life fully and authentically, my growing spirituality, working on my special relationships with my closest friends and sharing my experiences of personal discovery and growth through my writing. I have come to realize that it is a moment of wonder when we have something in our lives that requires the best we have to give.
During times of doubt or struggle, I find myself questioning what I've gotten myself into. But an activity or a person to which we give ourselves wholly and freely is evidence of a force greater than ourselves at work in our life. I believe my commitments are something the Universe has asked me to do and I know absolutely and without a doubt that the Universe will help me take care of meeting all of them.
Money, support and the energy and enthusiasm needed will come as well and at the perfect time. Although it may seem that things may not be going my way, I can trust that the Universe is giving to me all that I need so that my lessons can be learned and tasks can be accomplished. This knowledge and belief helps to keep my spirits up. Each day I have before me a wonderful opportunity to fulfill my commitments in peace and grace. I am being looked after.

Spirit in a Box
The First Cause of the physical universe is causeless, supernatural, transcendent, and eternal. The First Cause of the physical universe can only be described in non-physical terms…because the First Cause is non-physical.
This shouldn't actually be all that surprising, because when contemplating the answer to "What's the point?" (the question that started this whole thing), we intuitively know that whatever the "point" is, its outside of our physical selves.
The tough part is that we naturally tend to define how "real" and substantive something is by its physical proof. We rely on proof that we can see smell, touch, taste, and/or hear. But if the First Cause of the universe is non-physical (immaterial) AND greater than the material universe (the effect), then we're going to have to become comfortable with the idea that some of the things we consider immaterial may actually be more "real" than what we can experience with our physical senses. (Don't worry; when we get to my April 19th blog post, that sentence will make complete sense. Probably).
What kinds of things are immaterial, transcendent, and time-less, yet are substantive enough to have a dramatic effect on the physical/material world?
In a broad sense, I'd have to say that the answer is "information". Let's use something in close proximity to demonstrate what I mean – your computer system. The system in front of you works because of functioning hardware and software. Hardware is, of course, the physical/material parts of the system – the monitor, the CPU, mouse, keyboard, etc. But all that hardware is nothing more than expensive paperweights without software. Software is the information and rules that tell the hardware what to do and how to do it. Software has a dramatic affect on the physical. This information makes the physical "work".
Software is information. But even the most powerful software is immaterial. If you take a blank disk or other storage device, weigh it, then load it up with all the software that it can hold, and weigh it again, you will find that it weighs exactly the same as before.
Information is weightless. It has no mass. If information has no mass, then it transcends the physical world. Information is also time-less because according to Einstein, time can only affect objects with mass. (Remember, whenever someone wants to show how smart they are, they always reference Einstein).
"Information" is as broad a concept as "the universe". In fact, like the universe, information is an "effect". So to get a better understanding of it, we should use the ladder of causality that we used on the physical universe. We need to find the "causeless" cause of information.
Information is an effect of knowledge. Knowledge is an effect of intelligence. Intelligence is an effect of the ability to understand. Understanding is an effect of thinking. Thinking is an effect of interpreting stimuli. The ability to interpret stimuli is governed by qualitative (subjective) and quantitative (objective) principles (values) that we apply to the stimuli.
The interesting thing is that since humans are thinking beings (for the most part), we conform to the computer systems example above. The most valuable part of the computer – the most "real" part if you will, is the software, not the hardware. The "real" part of the computer system (software) is immaterial and transcendent.
And so is the real "you".
What makes you, you is not "hardware"; not the physical body you occupy that is slowly wearing down, losing elasticity, gaining liver spots and losing hair. The real you; the things that make you special and unique – your personality, your intellect, your understanding, your memories, your experiences, your knowledge, your talent, your will…all your information – the real you is "software". Your software makes your physical body function and tells it what to do. Your physical actions are just an effect of your will.
If the real you is software, then the real you has no mass. The real you is immaterial and transcendent. The real you is eternal. There is a term for this. Its called "spirit". The real you is spirit. The first cause or your spirit are principles (we'll address this more at the end of April).
The First Cause of existence is also spirit. The First Cause of existence is "principles". But unlike the first cause of your spirit, the First Cause of existence must consist of causeless principles; principles that require no precedent cause. Are there causeless principles? And if so, what are they?

Nice post this week! I've usually gone about this argument via the "values" path, e.g. pointing out that "justice" is immaterial and requires something immaterial to create it. But I like your take on it, as values can sometimes instinctively put non- or anti-religious folks on the defensive, whereas "information" is value-neutral.
And the weighing of the CD was a great visual and visceral example!
You should have mentioned too that Bill Gates got rich by realizing that the software was the more valuable part of the hardware/software duality.
Anyway, I've gone and done something I try not to do too often – I LEARNED something.
Hi! cool blog!
"The First Cause of existence is also spirit. "
but, wouldn't spirit have to exist, before it could be a cause?

It's official. Khloe has named her new baby and fans are devastated by her choice...
Khloe finally addressed the baby situation and the Tristan scandal all at once with her latest Instagram post. Oh, and if you're Team Khloe like myself - you're not going to be happy about it. Not one bit.
She welcomed her baby to the world in typical Kardashian fashion - in an Instagram post. The caption reads, "Our little girl, True Thompson, has completely stolen our hearts and we are overwhelmed with LOVE. Such a blessing to welcome this angel into the family! Mommy and Daddy loooooove you True!"
READ ALSO: Tristan Thompson's Instagram Hit With 300,000 Savage Comments And These Are The Best Ones
While we are very happy that Khloe was able to put the cheating scandal behind her so she could focus on her new baby, it didn't take long for fans to realize how ironic her baby's name is.
One comment reads, "she named her baby true when her baby daddy's a whole lie 😩". I mean, I see that commenters point - naming her baby true after her father was just outed for literally all of his lies. That's true irony.
Fans are also really disappointed that she let her daughter take Tristan's last name.
