Xentum are an innovative financial planning firm who focus on helping a younger audience of business owners and professionals have the long term security to live life to the full today. They pride themselves on a confident, straight talking approach and they wanted to get this across on their new website.
To meet this challenge, we worked with them to come up with the 'grab life' key message. This was a central feature of what they wanted to get across to their audience – a financial planning firm that takes care of your routine financial concerns so you focus firmly on getting the extraordinary things that really make life worth living.
We devised a visually engaging website which used scrolling text, immersive video and original copy to make sure that visitors know that Xentum are a financial planning firm with a difference.
The website focuses on how Xentum can enhance your life through their open and innovative approach to financial planning rather than a detailed summary of the technical procedures Xentum use, as is common on some firms' websites.
Their new site positions Xentum as a firm with a difference. Online visitors now know that Xentum is a firm that doesn't do things by half and is thoroughly committed to disrupting a sector that has long been dogged by inaccessibility, over-complexity and a mundane approach to marketing.

In this 4-half series, I'll outline blended learning , talk about the models of blended studying, the implications for career and technical schooling, and the way the Curriculum, Assessment, and Digital Delivery (CADD) areas of the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education can assist within the implementation of blended studying. The aim is to assist faculty leaders be extra comfy with expertise with a purpose to better perceive the way it works in the classroom. Not particularly on internet advertising and marketing training but I think they apply to everyone on this business. So the difficulty of attitudinal, behavioural and psychological needs must be one of the main causes to combine instructional and institutional technology in Ghanaian faculties in any respect levels. While the stories that hold the Hollywood cash machine churning run in cycles, expertise continues to evolve with each passing decade.
Children immediately are ready to make use of the unbelievable energy of expertise as it's and how it will be. They are usually not constrained by limitations that were extreme but which have now been largely eradicated. I want to inform you that the significance of education to nations is many, however these are among the many sequence. Instead, we choose the medium or technology that delivers the most effective studying expertise for our particular goal.
Educational know-how blogger, likes to analysis and write about instruments and suggestions for educators on how to combine technology into everyday instruction creatively and successfully. Applicants must presently hold or aspire to a place in instructional expertise in a studying setting and possess fundamental computing technology expertise. Should the Education System put together you for the even more difficult jobs in the future technological world of tomorrow.
I suppose that it is essential that academics change into snug with pc expertise and educated about the way it may help their lessons. It is a translation of an academic philosophy about expertise education into a 3-dimensional place to ensure that students to achieve the objectives set forth within the curricular framework. I know this isn't core business for Schools and has never been a part of the process, nevertheless, we've got now started creating organisational and private risk from deploying technology.
Setting the target behaviour for behavioural modification: once the present behaviour is known and analyzed into specific behavioural terms, the help of behavioural technology could also be taken for setting in addition to stating the goal behaviour (desired modified behaviour) in specific behavioural phrases. Despite these views, many are beginning to recognise the role know-how is enjoying in introducing public activities into the personal domain and vice versa. Massachusetts Institute of Technology or MIT stands out as one of the leading science, engineering and expertise schools within the United States.

The developer behind Titanic Belfast is fighting an 'improper' move to wind the company up
Pat Doherty's Harcourt Developments says the bid stems from a UK property dispute.
HARCOURT DEVELOPMENTS, ONE of Ireland's largest construction firms, has asked the High Court for an order preventing a UK company from seeking to have it wound up over a disputed debt of £2 million (€2.28 million).
Harcourt, which says it is not insolvent and employs more than 800 people, has brought proceedings against Surry-based Crest Nicholson (South West) Limited, which it alleges is "improperly" threatening to have the Dublin-based firm wound up.
It claims Crest Nicholson has "an ulterior motive" in seeking to have it put into liquidation.
Harcourt claims the petition is an attempt to force it to sell to Crest lands in England, which the parties had previously agreed to develop, at significantly below their value.
Harcourt Developments, owned by Pat Doherty and his family, is behind the Titanic Quarter project in Belfast, as well as several major commercial and residential schemes.
It is currently shortlisted to develop parts of the Guinness brewery site into a new urban district.
Bristol site dispute
At the High Court, Harcourt's counsel, Martin Hayden, said the dispute has arisen between the two following a dispute over a Joint Landowners Agreement (JLA) in respect of plans to develop a site near Bristol.
Counsel said Harcourt entered into a JLA in 2006 with two entities, Muben Investments, which held a leasehold interest on part of the Bristol lands, and Crest Nicholson, which owned lands adjoining Muben's property.
Under a framework agreement, the parties were to work together to develop the site into housing. The relationship between Crest and the other parties broke down in 2015, and Crest sought to terminate the JLA. The dispute went before an expert for determination.
Counsel said Harcourt believed it had resolved matters with Crest to recommence the development in 2017, when the parties entered into a settlement agreement.
Part of the agreement involved payments being made to Crest for costs it had incurred on the development. Harcourt, counsel said, it has made payments totalling £1.8 million to Crest.
Counsel said that Crest failed to provide Harcourt with vital information it requires to progress the development. Crest had claimed that it would only provide the information after it was paid money allegedly owed to it by Harcourt.
Last month, counsel said, Crest made a demand on Harcourt for a payment of £2 million. This, counsel said, was an attempt by Crest to engage in a form of disputed debt collection, which it is not entitled to do.
Counsel said it was "intentionally misled" by Crest, and the threat of bringing a winding-up petition is an attempt to force the Irish company to sell its interest in the development to Crest.
Counsel also told the court that any dispute over the settlement agreement arising out of the JLA must be determined by the courts of England and Wales.
Counsel said that the unwarranted liquidation of a solvent company would have a detrimental effect on Harcourt, which has over 800 employees.
As a result, Harcourt seeks an injunction restraining Crest from bringing or advertising any petition to wind up the Irish firm.
It also seeks declarations that any dispute arising from the settlement agreement should be heard before an English and Welsh court.
Ms Justice Carmel Stewart granted Harcourt Developments short notice to serve its injunction proceedings on Crest. The application was made on an ex-parte basis, meaning only one side was represented.

The NeoCity high-tech business park being developed outside of Kissimmee will be bolstered with a $5.8 million grant from the Florida Jobs Growth Grant Fund, Gov. Rick Scott announced Tuesday.
The $5.8 million grant to the Osceola County Board of County Commissioners will help the county complete the NEOCity Gateway Road, which connects U.S. 192 with two main routes into NEOCity, a 500-acre master-planned technology district, anchored by BRIDG, an industry-led, smart-sensor research and manufacturing consortium that opened there last year.
"Access to NeoCity is at the heart of this infrastructure project, and making it connected, functional and appealing is fundamental to its long-term success. Creating high-profile roadways that provide connections to our existing transportation network will have an immediate impact in attracting new partners to our project," remarked Fred Hawkins Jr., chairman of the Osceola Board of County Commissioners.
The NeoCity grant was the largest among the 11 that Scott announced Tuesday, totaling $22 million, for projects around the state. They also include $1.3 million for Valencia College's programs at its future downtown Orlando Campus; nearly $2 million for improvements to County Road 4009 in Daytona Beach; and just over $1 million for water supply improvements for the city of Titusville.
"I'm proud to announce the nearly $22 million in awards for 11 Florida Job Growth Grant Fund projects across the state," Scott stated in a news release issued by his office. "The $85 million Florida Job Growth Grant Fund was established last year with the help of the Florida Legislature to help Florida aggressively fight to be the best destination for businesses to succeed. These projects will help meet infrastructure and workforce training needs across the state in order to promote economic development. These projects are also slated to add more than 18,600 jobs for Florida families. I look forward to the completion of these projects."
Valencia College is getting a total of $2.3 million, including this grant, to start the Advanced Manufacturing and Distribution Logistics project, which will provide certification programs in mechatronics (for industrial maintenance technicians), electronic board assembly, and transportation logistics specialist. The program will go into or near the new downtown campus that Valencia is co-developing with the University of Central Florida in the city's Creative Village development in the northwest corner of downtown Orlando.
Volusia County is getting $1.96 million for the expansion of County Road 4009 in Daytona Beach, which will provide access to Interstate 95 and enhance commercial and retail development opportunities.
City of Titusville is getting just over $1 million for the construction of a new water main to support the fire flow needs of the southern industrial district, which supports regional space, manufacturing and logistics industries.

Extra-rich, uber-effective anti-aging cream / 1 oz or 1.7 oz
We thought the all-in-one 37 Actives (which replaces your moisturizers, serums, and eye creams with one supercharged formula) sounded too good to be true.

And its unique, patented delivery system means those 50+ active ingredients get exactly where they need to go. Even better? Once opened, it stays fresh and potent longer than any other antioxidant-rich product. Quite simply, it's perfect.

Huawei has been secretive with its upcoming device, the P9 indeed been less confirmed for its official debut launch this coming April, well, this was quite possibly even there are multiple announcement versions on it.
But for the meantime, we have seen p9 in the news often, some individual posing live photos on the device and even more renders not just one occasion, as if your updated with the latest mobile news photos has been in the hands of company's president.
For this time, it is our time so share image, but if you think that they will show something that we did not know, just think again. A total of three images, but we will share only one on what we think the best, with the close up and image details.
P9 obviously is built with dual camera and this has been confirmed by the company, but after all the "#OO" tagline obviously it is self explanatory. The device has fingerprint reader at a rectangular shape, rounded corners, not circle reciprocal to what as some leaks posted in the past.
The official teaser page for Smartphone countdown timer has come almost to an end, with two weeks left and Huawei P9 will be revealed.

Thank you so much !ReplyDeleteReplies
You're welcome, have fun pixelcrafting! ;o)Delete

This is really cool! I looked at his stuff! 2D is so easy to build!ReplyDeleteReplies
As long as you fold the strips in all the right places! ;o) I think they made quite a few, and if you google some sprites you can even make your own very easily! ;o)Delete
Have fun!
- AnonymousAugust 15, 2016 at 10:45 AM
Actually I hadn't thought of making my own 0.o! Would it be possible in photoshop or word? I can't get Pep viewer because i have a mac so yeah...Delete
sure, I definitely think so: try to find game sprites that are as big as possible, and make sure to keep the edges clean if you have to enlarge them (preferably not jpegs...)Delete
Then all you really need to do is mirror it, and create a strip between them that's long enough to go all the way around the edges (you can literally count the squares you need to cover ;o)
Don't forget the glueing flaps! (you don't really have to draw them, you just have to remember to cut them when you're cutting out your 2D papercraft ;o)
Have fun!

The Middle School at Harpeth Hall offers an exciting opportunity for seventh and eighth graders. The SEEK (Scholars Engaged in Extending Knowledge) Scholarship Program was established to provide a student enrolled in the seventh or eighth grade with a means to pursue independent study in an area of her choice. The initiative is designed to encourage a student to expand her learning beyond the standard curriculum with the aid of an in-school and/or out-of-school adult mentor. A student with the desire and passion to explore a particular topic or subject of interest will be provided with the guidance and financial support necessary to complete the study of her choice. The topic she chooses to explore may be an extension of work she has done for a specific class, study in an area untapped by the Middle School curriculum, or the pursuit of a new skill or creative endeavor. For example, a student who applies for a SEEK Scholarship in September may wish to delve more deeply into the study of a particular topic in history, literature, film, science, technology, engineering, politics, world cultures, or mathematics. She may wish to develop her talents in the area of creative writing, art, music, photography, drama, or dance. Whatever area of interest the student wishes to pursue must lead her into a new area of study and result in some form of finished product. This could be a publication, a performance, an original composition, or a piece of art. Each SEEK Scholar will present her project to the Middle School student body and will be recognized at the All-School SEEK Scholarship Assembly in the spring.

An Indian restaurant's fundraising evening has raised around £1,000 for a village nursery.

All of the money raised will be put towards improving outdoor facilities at Wedmore First School Nursery, in Blackford Road.
A nursery spokesman said: "All the staff and children are extremely grateful for all the support and hard work from everyone involved.
"The money will go towards improving and renovating the outside area."
Staff from Wedmore clothing store, Victoria and Scarlet, were also on hand to host a raffle which added to the total.
The nursery provides indoor and outdoor learning areas for children aged two to three years old.
It has close links to the village first school, with pupils involved in harvest and nativity services.

December 17, 2014Comment
Thank you Rutherford High School for welcoming Breaking the Cycle to your school. May the stories you heard today from Hashim, Ann Marie and Chief inspire you to move in a positive direction in your lives.
See coverage from Rutherford HS.
We'd love to hear from you - please leave a comment:
Post a Comment
Please fill in the form below if you have any questions or wish to make a comment. We always appreciate hearing from you.
The assembly today was just amazing. Thank you for coming to our school and sharing your stories with us. We are always told that it is okay to forgive, but it was never explained why. Sharing your stories helped me understand why forgiving is okay in any circumstance. What you said to us today was very powerful and it had a great impact on the rest of my day. Your stories were very touching and the outcomes were inspiring. It is great that you have this program alive. I believe that it will make a change and we will have you to thank. I am 100% sure that your message to us will never be forgotten by me. Thank you for being such an inspiration to my schoolmates and me while opening up a new way of life to us.AJ, Rutherford HS
I got so much out of today's assembly. Thank you for your service to others in such an amazing way.JM, Rutherford HS
It hasn't been too long since I've left Rutherford High School from the assembly we had today. I wanted to thank you all for not just sharing such personal touching stories but also for in one way or another opening our eyes to the fact that revenge, hatred, and grudges aren't ever the Solutions to the problems we might be struggling through. Thank you for teaching us that forgiveness is always the key to having a more happy life. Best assembly I've ever attended.KJ, Rutherford HS
I loved hearing all three of the inspiration stories about forgiveness today. After hearing them, I have gained a different perspective on forgiveness and the relationships I have with people. Some of the topics discussed helped comfort me in knowing that no one is alone in their own personal struggles. I truly admire what you great people are doing and I am sure you are affecting so many lives. I am so sorry for tragedies you have had to endure, but I find it amazing that you can turn them into lessons for so many people around the country. Thank you so much for visiting my school.MD, Rutherford HS
I really appreciated that Breaking the Cycle came to my school, Rutherford High School. Thank you very much. My perception of life itself has changed genuinely because of the message you all conveyed to us all. Some of the points the 3 speakers touched upon related to my life in some way or another. I thank you again for opening my eyes.YS, Rutherford HS

Zydeco Diner (****)
Zydeco Diner
1119 Pease Street
Houston, Texas 77002
713 759 2001
I can't say enough wonderful things about this place. I'd driven by it for years as I worked at various buildings downtown, but it wasn't until I starting working at my current building about five blocks away that I finally gave this place a try. Its unassuming brick structure belies the wondrous culinary treasures that await within.
Offerings include ettoufée, red beans and rice, smothered pork chops, and (my personal favorite) a heavenly basket of fried shrimp on french fries with the most divine mayonaise tartar sauce ever created. Side dishes are wonderful — fluffy cornbread (you have to pester the guy at the window for some butter, however, I've learned), great broccoli with cheese sauce — everything you might love at a traditional cafeteria "meat and three" but with true New Orleans flavor. You can see back into where they freshly hand-prepare each order with the proper type of breading (cornmeal, flour, etc) for the fried items. It definitely shows in how tasty and fresh the food is.
Not to be missed is dessert stacked up at the checkout stand, however. Although there's a chocolate cake that looks quite tempting, I've never tried it because the bread pudding with cream sauce is absolutely irresistable. (I get it every single time I go and I'm not in general a huge dessert eater). It's one of the most amazing cinnamon-infused tasty treats I've ever had, and it's worth a trip there all by itself.
Also worth the trip is how friendly the place is. The proprietess, Gail, is always so cheery and happy to see you when you're in there to eat, and she's done wonders for me when I needed to reserve a big table for an office lunch or baby shower. (Plus, the pay-as-you-get-your-food cafeteria checkout is perfect for an office get-together, so there's no awkward math when the check gets delivered at the end of the meal). Often during lunchtime there's a guy playing some live zydeco music, which provides some nice background noise; he's really quite excellent, actually. An added bonus is that both dining rooms are non-smoking, which I really like, especially since it's a fairly smallish restaurant.
All in all, it's one of my favorite spots. The place tends to get packed by 11:30, however, so if you head there, I recommend you go early. And definitely get the bread pudding.

Each week we highlight entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry for our viewers to learn more about the leading cannabis executives of our time.
Meet Bryan & Jessica Passman
This week, we highlight Bryan & Jessica Passman, Co-Founders of The GIGG™.
Bryan is The Chief of Business Dealings "CBD" at The GIGG™. He was born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in Miami, FL. Bryan studied Finance and Economics at The University of Florida and landed an initial career opportunity in the sale of engineered construction materials. He had a passion for the healthcare field, however, and landed in medical device global recruitment out of Coral Gables, FL while seeking a medical/ pharma sales role. After a very successful 15 years in that field, Bryan moves on to a Wynwood, FL based recruitment agency where he assumes a focus on clients in adult beverage, packaging, and tech.
Today, Bryan is enjoying his dream of growing his own business and working within the very exciting and rewarding cannabis industry with his wife, Jessica. Bryan & Jessica got married in March 2008. They have lived together in Coconut Grove, FL since 2007. They have two sons and three fish. They love spending time with family and friends, volunteering, coaching their son's flag football team, long days at the park, experiencing the amazing eating/drinking that the Miami area has to offer, and all things Florida Gators.
Jessica is The Head Chief "THC" at The GIGG™. She received her BA in Business & Finance from the University of Central Florida, and her JD (Cum Laude) from the University of Miami School of Law. After graduating from law school, she was an Associate Attorney at several top law firms, focusing on Commercial Real Estate, and outside general counsel to numerous clients through her own law practice.
Jessica's passion for business led to her role as Chief Operating Officer & General Counsel for a global networking organization exclusively for professional women executives and women business owners. In Jessica's COO role, she wore many hats creating the opportunity to develop various new skill sets, in addition to growing as an entrepreneur and attorney. Growing out of that role and ready for a new entrepreneurial venture, The GIGG™ was born.
The GIGG™ was a dream for Jessica and Bryan for many years. One day the stars aligned perfectly and it was time take the leap. Now Jessica is doing what she loves most, building a company from the ground up with her husband within the fastest growing industry in the world with the hope to one day hand The GIGG down to their children.
In our interview with Bryan and Jessica, we asked a variety of questions to learn more about The GIGG™, what it takes to build a business in the cannabis industry and much more!
DCN: First off Bryan and Jessica, congratulations on being featured as this week's entrepreneur of the week and for all that you both do! Can you please share with our readers your elevator pitch for the Gigg?
Jessica Passman: The GIGG™ [Grass is Greener Global] is a boutique retained talent solutions firm specializing in the Cannabis industry. Our Cannabis industry partners are multi-tier industry leaders & emerging organizations in (Canna)Tech, Compliance, Analytical Testing, Packaging, Distribution and Product Creation & Development. Talent Solutions is our passion.
We are not a job board. We are a full-service talent solutions agency offering recruitment, talent acquisition and organizational consulting, growth planning advisement and more. We also create and personalize each process and material to meet each individual client's needs.
DCN: What ignited the spark in you to start to launch your business? Or how did your idea evolve?
Bryan Passman: Launching a business together in the Cannabis industry, recruitment or otherwise, has been a dream for Jessica and myself for some time. The dream was almost achieved in 2014, but the stars were not aligned. In 2017, Jessica sold her stake and exited another business she had launched in 2010 while I was experiencing a career shift at my former employer. It was also during this time that my network in the Cannabis industry was gaining real traction. Everything aligned Q3 '17, and The GIGG™ was launched!
Jessica's professional experience is broad, covering all aspects of business & transactional law as well as business planning & development, leadership, and recruitment. She has worked within law firms of varying sizes, taught law classes in numerous disciplines and has worked from just about anywhere a WiFi signal exists in the recent years while successfully growing a for-profit professional networking organization for women.
My professional experience is deep within retained search and client relationships since 2000. I worked as SVP Recruitment at a small Medical Device/ Pharma/ Biotech/ IVD retained search firm and a Client Relationship Leader at a large Food & Beverage retained search firm. My experience with hiring companies of all sizes with talent needs from entry-level Analyst & Trade Marketer to Chief Compliance Officer and President/ CEO. I also fulfilled roles on every continent and within every Operational, Technical and Commercial function.
Both Jessica and I know the value of relationship development and the power of cultivating a genuine professional network. We also know there is no substitute for hard work, and being an expert in your field. You can count on their grit, expertise, follow-up, transparency, and genuine desire to consult & partner when you choose to work with The GIGG™.
DCN: When you finally decided that you wanted to launch a business in the cannabis industry, what was your experience like when telling your family and friends?
Jessica Passman: Both our friends and family were excited and supportive.
DCN: How are you positively helping the cannabis industry?
Jessica Passman: At The GIGG™, we believe we are helping the cannabis industry in two primary ways. 1. Attracting top talent to our cannabusiness partners; talent that is helping to move the ball forward in terms of bringing increased professionalism and compliance mindsets from FDA compliant and other highly regulated industry environments as well as blue chip company pedigree, and 2. Educating the candidate marketplace outside of the cannabis industry on the incredible culture, progress, products, and opportunities in the cannabis industry.
DCN: As we go into 2018, what is one huge accomplishment that you or your team achieved last year that you would like to share with our readers?
Bryan Passman: We launched The GIGG™ and joined the cannabis community.
DCN: What are some challenges you faced early on and how'd you beat them?
Jessica Passman: Our immediate challenge was resistance to our retained search fees. The GIGG offers a unique level of service and expertise that has been applied over the past 20 years to bring significant value to both startup & blue chip Healthcare, Tech, Packaging and CPG organizations globally.
Our fees are a bit higher than what the Cannabis industry is currently used to, but we've also proven to current clients that our network, expertise, and services exceed the cannabis industry's current expectations from an external talent acquisition partner. We've been fortunate to establish a reputable client base early in our launch with cannabis industry partners that have been very pleased with their ROI, and it's given us the confidence in the industry to continue with our strategic goal of establishing a new level of retained search offering and expectation within the industry.
DCN: How did you get funded or what creative strategies did you use to execute on minimal cash flow?
Bryan Passman: We have been creative and minimalistic with our spending.
DCN: Launching a startup usually means a change in lifestyle for many. What did you give up to get where you are today? What did you have to sacrifice?
Bryan Passman: We gave up salaries, benefits and sacrificed savings.
DCN: What is the best piece of advice you can give to others looking to launch a company in the cannabis industry?
Jessica Passman: Bring a passion for the industry, product, and learning; and be prepared to bring your A-game. Also be flexible to deal with change, uncertainty, as well as have the grit to deal with adversity.
DCN: What's the hardest part of founding and running a startup?
Bryan Passman: Putting everything in place, and then maintaining your strategic vision while attending to every little detail.
DCN: Is there anything that surprised you about being an entrepreneur in the cannabis industry?
Jessica Passman: We expected it to be a fun & challenging industry to work in, but were pleasantly surprised by the very warm reception we received. The community feel of the industry is so refreshing! We try our best to attend as many expos and conventions as possible and always come back even more in love with the very positive vibe of the industry. We were also surprised by how strongly our cannabis clients value and desire other industry backgrounds which have allowed us to leverage our existing networks from other highly regulated industries.
DCN: What would you say are the top three skills needed to be a successful entrepreneur?
Bryan Passman: Grit, passion and flexibility.
DCN: Who is your role model, and why?
Jessica Passman: We do not have one role model but admire those who are honest, compassionate and of high integrity.
DCN: The hardest thing for many entrepreneurs is finding balance. How do you stay balanced?
Bryan Passman: Exercise and spending time with family and friends.
DCN: What book has inspired you the most?
Bryan Passman: There are too many amazing books, far too many for us to choose just one.
DCN: Excluding yours, what company or business do you admire the most?
Jessica Passman: We admire those in the cannabis industry that take their approach to compliance to exceptional levels as part of their company DNA, and always place product quality, safety and compliance as their core values.
DCN: How can we as an industry continue to make a positive difference in society?
Bryan Passman: Stay the course. By that, we mean to maintain the positive vibes, the great momentum, the unified front and giving back to the community wherever the opportunities exist!
DCN: Thank you, Jessica and Bryan, for sharing your story and offering such real and insightful advice! It was so great being able to feature you both as this week's entrepreneur of the week!

Juncker to tackle Trump: Top eurocrat confirms US trip after President brands EU a 'FOE'
JEAN-CLAUDE JUNCKER will travel to Washington on July 25 to hold crunch negotiations with Donald Trump as European Union relations with the United States appear to be at an all-time low.
Jean-Claude Juncker will visit Donald Trump in Washington on an EU trade mission
The EU's most senior official hopes to paper over the growing cracks in the EU-US partnership after a number of high-profile assaults on the Brussels project by the US President.
As part of his protectionist crackdown on trade, Mr Trump branded the EU a "foe" of the United States.
The American said: "I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. Now you wouldn't think of the European Union, but they're a foe."
Messrs Juncker and Trump will focus their intention on transatlantic trade negotiations and "forging a strong economic partnership", according to a European Commission announcement.
I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade
The EU's executive body adds: "The two leaders will discuss the deep cooperation between the European Union and the United States government and institutions across a wide range of priorities, including foreign and security policy, counter terrorism, energy security and economic growth."
Mr Juncker will be accompanied by the EU's trade commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom on his Washington venture, the third trade mission undertaken the Commission President in little over a week.
A number of Brussels' top bosses have made a successful trip to Asia this week, which involved the bloc signing off on one of its largest trade agreements with Japan.
Upon signing the EU-Japan deal, European Council President Donald Tusk said: "We are sending a clear message that we stand against protectionism. The EU and Japan remain open for cooperation."
Mr Juncker added: "With the signature of the Economic Partnership Agreement with Japan we are making a statement about the future of free and fair trade.
The agreement puts fairness and values at its core. There is no protection in protectionism – and there is no unity where there is unilateralism."
Trade tensions rose after the US imposed import tariffs on EU steel and aluminium at the start of June and have increased with Mr Trump's threat that those tariffs could extend to EU cars.
Brussels threatened to hit back with its own tariffs, targeting US popular culture with taxes on Jeans, motorcycles and bourbon whisky all made in the country.

"I do not write reviews, whether positive or negative. This is my first.
I am a Buyer for one of the largest retailers in US. I literally deal with thousands of vendors. Among them, I would give three or four of them an A+ rating. Eileen Howard is an A++! Deep knowledge of the industry, community, home values. Very industrious and does her research. Honest and responsive. I am a negotiator so I understand that negotiating is not strong arming anyone. It is about building trust and respect, which results in working out a deal that is fair and reasonable. I have no plans of ever moving, but if I do.... Eileen is my only choice."

"Eileen is a very special person who happens to be a great & savvy realtor. She is a neighborhood specialist and as such she knew just what to do and who to call during all phases of the selling process. From preparation of the home for the market, to negotiating with our buyers agent, to helping us enlist the services of an estate sale company who she had used before, Eileen handled it all in a calm and professional manner. She embraces the principals that make a real estate transaction successful for all parties. If you want to work with a pro please call Eileen.

"Eileen has a proven track record of success. She is masterful negotiating between multiple high-profile clients. Not only is she a team player but innovative and creative in selling techniques. She sold our home in less than 2 months. A true entrepreneur she loves helping others find their dream home. If one of your goals is making the selling/buying process more simple, then contact Eileen - she will handle all details. (Review Source: Zillow)"

"I am not sure I know enough superlatives to describe Eileen Howard. I am not sure another agent would have taken on the task Eileen did when she helped us find the house of our dreams. We began by wanting to find a lot and build a house suitable for 2 generations to live in. When we found this impossible, we gave Eileen budget as well as privacy guidlines for a multi generational house. Eileen worked tirelessly to find a house that would work for us. She showed us many houses over a period of time and she never tried to convince us that we wanted a house she was showing. Instead, she pointed out features that would work, possibilites in the houses, and asked us our thoughts. When we finally found "the house " , Eileen took on the monumental task of presenting a contract to the owner that included a double contingency - both families selling their houses in a limited time frame and closing on the new house in a very short time. Not only did she succeed in getting the owner to accept this, she worked hard to sell one of our houses, coordinate the selling and buying of our new house in a 3 day period, and did it all in a professional, knowledgeable, caring , and superb manner. Eileen was not only a real estate agent, she was a counsellor, inspection and repair coordinator, mediator, and in general " take charge and make it happen " person when things became complicated right before closing. Eileen single handedly made it all happen. Eileen knows real estate and is meticulous in detail. She knows how to settle the most rattled nerves in the most calming manner. She makes things happen that are unbelievably difficult in the best of circumstances. I told her during the process that she should have a Ph.D in Psychology, a degree in accounting, and a law degree. It would be impossible for me to describe in full the gratitude our 2 families have for all of the perseverance, advice, and extreme competence that Eileen provided us. If you want an experienced, professional, caring, outstanding agent, then Eileen Howard is the only one that you need to call. (Review Source: Zillow)"
- IVHNET, Braselton
"Eileen helped us find the perfect house. After spending a short time with us, she was able to hone in on the exact type house and lot we were interested in purchasing. We had a bit of a challenge with slow response from the seller, and Eileen was the best advocate for us throughout the entire purchasing process. She made many trips to the house to check on various things for us since we lived out of state. She always communicated in a timely manner, and went above and beyond what most realtors would consider their responsibility. We highly recommend her. (Review Source: Zillow)"

"We had a wonderful selling and buying experience with Eileen. She marketed our house in many ways and made sure the pictures and video showed the home to its best advantage. Eileen remains positive during the selling process and was very helpful during negotiations once we received an offer. She stays on top of the closing details and even drove me to the two closings. Her inside knowledge of the area proved invaluable to us as she found us a home that was not even on the market yet. We certainly highly recommend Eileen! (Review Source: Zillow)"

RELATIONSHIPS By Ray Baber.
This is a story written by one of our members Ray Baber, so inspirational that I just had to include it here on our website. Twelve months ago Ray was given just hours to live, however, that was not to be, he underwent emergency surgery and a very harsh regime of chemotherapy. His beloved wife Sue was with him for every minute and every step of his arduous journey. You only have to see the way they look at each other to know that there is no love deeper than what they have for each other.
Rays story in his own words.
Lifelong commitment is not what everyone thinks it is. It's not waking up early every morning to make breakfast and eat together. It's not cuddling in bed together until both of you peacefully fall asleep. It's not a clean home and a homemade meal every day.
It's someone who steals all the covers or snores like a chainsaw. It's sometimes slammed doors, and a few harsh words, disagreeing, and the silent treatment until your hearts heal. Then....forgiveness !
It's coming home to the same person everyday that you know loves and cares about you, in spite of and because of who you are. It's laughing about the one time you accidentally did something stupid. It's about dirty laundry and unmade beds without finger pointing. It's about helping each other with the hard work of life ! It's about swallowing the nagging words instead of saying them out loud. It's about eating the easiest meal you can make and sitting down at 10 pm to eat because you both had a crazy day. It's when you have an emotional breakdown, and your love lays with you and holds you and tells you everything is going to be okay, and you believe them. It's when "Netflix and Chill" means you watch Netflix and hang out. It's about still loving someone even though sometimes they make you absolutely insane, angry, and hurt your feelings. Who loves you fat or thin, happy or mad, young or old.
Living with the person you love is not perfect, and sometimes it's hard, but it's amazing, comforting, and one of the best things you'll ever experience.

The sun finally decided to show its face today after NINE. STRAIGHT. DAYS. of rain in Philadelphia. Here's hoping the weekend stays sunny!
I'm looking forward to getting lots accomplished this weekend while Nick is off visiting his mom for Mother's Day… maybe I'll actually hold myself accountable for getting these things done if I write them here. Here's my list:
- write a few thank you notes
- dust the apartment
- clean all the windows in the apartment (or at least the ones I can reach)
finish Mod Podge-ing the Ikea mirrors for our hallway order an 8×10 print from our wedding for the new frame I got at Ikea take ALLLLLL of my clothes out of their drawers/closets/mountains and organize every. single. thing. and fill up at least one (maybe two?) huge bags for Goodwill write a new recap post for Weddingbee treat my mom to lunch for Mother's Day de-clutter my desk
- de-clutter the bookshelf in our bedroom
- clean out under the bed (yuck)
Yes…. this is probably more than one human can possibly do in a weekend. But if I get at least a few things checked off, I'll feel better!
Happy weekend!

Market trend of Single Family Homes in Ventura Country Club.
When this is written on the 28th of August, 2019 I decided to find out what the market trend is in Ventura Country Club, comparing year by year from 28th of August 2017 to 28th of August 2018 and then again from 28th of August 2018 to 28th of August 2019.
The first thing that I noticed was that there has not been a closing of a Single Family Home South of the Club Hose for the last two months and only one Single Family Home has closed North of the Clubhouse in the same period. This confirms that the Real estate market for Single Family Homes has slowed down.
At this time there are 12 Single Family Homes for sale in Ventura Country Club, they are priced from $206,000 up to $399,000, the average asking price is: $289,599 and the median asking price is: $296,250. Looking at square footage price, we see that the lower square foot price is: $125 per squaer foot and the high price is: $209 per square feet. Average asking square foot price is: $165 and the median square foot price is: $158. It is unusual to see this many Single Family Homes being offered for sale at one time in Ventura Country Club.
There are 4 Single Family Homes pending sale in Ventura Country Club, they are priced from $235,000 to $289,000. Average asking price is $258,250 and the median asking price is $254,500.
When comparing the market activity between the two years we see that 32 Single Family Homes sold in the 2017 to 2018 period compared to 37 in the 2018 to 2019 period. These homes sold for the maximum value of: $320,000 ($175 per Sq. Ft.) in 2017 to 2018 and $300,000 ($194 per Sq. Ft.) in 2018 to 2019, the square foot price increased 10.85 %. Then when we look at the lower value of the Single Family Homes we see that in 2017 to 2018 the lower value was: $152,500 ($107 per Sq. Ft.) in 2017 to 2018 and $180,000 ($99 per Sq. Ft.) in 2018 to 2019. The average value of a Single Family Home in Ventura Country Club in 2017-2018 was $243,388 ($138 per Sq. Ft.) and $246,391 ($153 per Sq. Ft.) in 2018 to 2019. This shows that increase of the average Single Family Home value was only 1.2% between the years, but the square foot price increased 10.86%. Now lets look at the median values, it was $245,000 ( $133 per Sq. Ft.) in 2017 to 2018 and $249,000 ($151 per Sq. Ft.) in 2018 to 2019. These values tell us that the medium Single Family Home increased in value by 1.6% but the square foot price of the medium Single Family Homes increased by 13.53%. I am not taking into consideration if the Single Family Homes were located on the Golf Course or not or if they have swimming pools and so on. If you would like to know the value of your Single Family Home then contact Petur at: 321-263-5096 or email at email@example.com

BMW and Microsoft Bring Skype to Select BMW Vehicles
If you work in the corporate world, then chances are that you have rushed through traffic to make it to a meeting on time at one point or another. Wouldn't it have been great if you could have held the meeting right in your car instead?
That's the idea that both Microsoft and BMW had, which is why BMW recently announced that Skype for Business will be available in BMW vehicles equipped with iDrive technology, starting with the BMW 5 Series.
Before things get too out of hand, Microsoft and BMW wanted drivers to know that the Skype functions available while driving would not include the regular video conference features. Instead, BMW drivers will be able to activate the systems' hands-free phone conference services.
Furthermore, the Skype for Business integration is far more robust than regular hands-free technology. Drivers will be alerted to upcoming meetings and reschedulings, and they will even be able to edit calendars, contacts, and e-mails using a voice recognition system.
BMW's adoption of the Skype for Business system will be a first for video conferencing services. Neither Amazon's Chime nor Google's Hangouts are currently available in any vehicles.
"With BMW Connected we offer a wide range of digital services designed to help users with their daily mobility needs inside and outside of the car," said Dieter May, BMW senior vice president of Digital Products and Services. "We seek to continuously extend and enhance the customer experience with regard to all aspects of their mobility. The integration of productivity features in-car (like Exchange and Skype for Business) and personalized and contextual services will help customers with their day-to-day work and planning while they are on the road."
The service is currently slated to be offered in the U.K, France, and Germany, expanding to other markets shortly after. Perhaps workaholics around the world will soon be able to conduct business without ever leaving the driver's seat.

What our customers say
"I booked a Fred Olsen cruise with IGLU last month and was so impressed by the service I received. The staff member I spoke to was Kimberley and she was exemplary. Capable, kind, professional, patient, friendly and knowledgeable. She went through every step of the way calmly and thoroughly. IGLU were recommended to me by friends and I have no hesitation in passing the recommendation along. Well done IGLU and thank you. "
(March 2019)
"So easy to deal with, I studied the Cruise I wanted, did my research with different company's and returned to Iglu. I had three quotes matching Iglu's cost, but with one phone call they beat the price themselves by £40 without me even asking, how easy was that! "

Choose Kind
4 comments:
I was so excited to see your post today! A few minutes ago my fifth grade son and I were going through the books in his room and sorting them...ones to donate, ones to keep, ones to reread, ones he has not gotten to yet and then he came across Wonder. He looked at me and said, "I am keeping that one!" I was so happy to see he still had the post-its in it that I used to mark parts that were special to me and wanted to talk about with him when he got there. It is a WONDERful book on sooooo many levels. Happy to hear your reflection piece helped you to see their thinking while reading!:)ReplyDelete
This is such a special book - and thank you for sharing your kids' thoughts, you can see how the story moves their thinking. Powerful stuff. I am plotting to make this a grade wide readlaoud at the beginning of the school year for our sixth graders - it would be a wonderful way to establish a sense of community, right?!ReplyDelete
I'm behind you -- just started this as our read aloud. I need to hear more about the 10 points. Was it 10 topics or they had to write 10 things that fit the theme Choose Kind? Elaborate, please!ReplyDelete
Tracy: Love that you and your son can connect with this story!ReplyDelete
Tara: Absolutely!!
Mary Lee: We create a list on the board about all the fiction strategies we had focused on: influence of setting, character's thoughts, words, actions, order of events(plot), theme, etc. My BIG idea was to have students connect all our mini lessons to our read aloud then have them process by writing to me. 10 points was random but I liked it. Students could write on one topic for 10 points or 2 topics for 5 points each. Worked amazingly well!

I've been using Faith in Nature shampoo & conditioner for over a year now as it is the only shampoo brand my local health store stocks. I've recently moved house & our water is extremely hard here. My hair is very thick & I have always found using Faith in Nature left my hair feeling dry but now it is a hell of a lot worse. Last week, I robbed some of my non-green sister's shampoo & my hair is very soft using it but I really don't want to use conventional shampoo & conditioner. What do use on your hair?
mom to 2 girls age 8 & 3
hard water seems to have higher levels of alkali minerals which stops soaps from foaming, the reason your sister's shampoo worked is because these companies add ingredients to deal with hard water. why not try rinsing your hair with a mild acid such as apple cider vinegar which is supposed to help condition it . give it a try many people use this method of conditioning after using bicarb to wash there hair but i don't think washing your hair in bicarb with hard water goes well so I've heard. try the vinegar after shampooing it,if it doesn't work i use Simple shampoo and conditioner it's not green but it has fewer chemicals in it.good look and hope it helped love Caren xx

I bought the naked kids for dd but her hair was unbrushable afterwards, absolutely filled with static! We live in a chalky water area (is that hard water?), and use Faith in Nature or Green People. Only two of the Faith ones seem to suit our water though so we stick to Hemp and Meadowfoam or Lavender and Geranium. I have a friend who lives close by and swears by Jason. Trouble is it'll cost a fortune to try them all and see what works - maybe email a few companies and ask for some samples?
September x
Which Faith in Nature do you use? I live in a hard water area and find that it's ok. I have the Aloe Vera and the Rosemary and have very thick hair (have started making my own hair clips as the shop ones never fit). They do different sorts for different sorts of hair. I find ebay is a good place to get different ones and now buy the 5 litre bottles to decant.
Hello,we all use weleda body and hair for babies,but when I don't use that I condition with coconut oil and that leaves it lovely x
faith in nature here too, i use the teatree shampoo and conditioner but i also have used the jojoba (sp?) one and that is not too harsh either, we get the tea tree one as it seems to stop[ the girls (age 7 and 4) from getting nits from school!!!
I can recommend any of the neals yard shampoos for dry hair but they are v v expensive so i usuallyu ask for this for a birthday or christmas etc!!

Thanks for all the replies. The local health shop can be a bit hit & miss about re-stocking so I generally just buy what they have in stock. If I had a choice, I would buy the lavender & geranium as I have found that the best on my hair, I've never seen the hemp & meadowfoam one there but will definitely buy a bottle next time I'm at the organic co-op in the city. The jojoba one wasn't great on my hair. At the moment, they have the chocolate one which is horrendous. Will have a look on e-bay & see if I can get a good deal on some shampoo
mom to 2 girls age 8 & 3
FiN Hemp and meadowfoam here. I don't find it drying at all but then I have very greasy hair and need to wash every day.
I've just begun washing my hair in bicarb and so far so good. I use a pea sized amount of conditioner to detangle before the final rinse. For the kids I've used Weleda baby or the coconut shampoo from Tantrum.
Be The Change You Want To See In The World
Faith in Nature lavender and geranium here too. The aloe vera one made my hair feel horrible though :(

I was using the Faith In Nature Tea Tree products and then moved to the Neem, now I have switched to Lavera Sensitive because their Honey and Almond conditioner is just lovely and my hair is much less greasy than it was. When I order from online places I often get samples through, I'm sure it would be possible to request some in advance of making an order (as in, pay £5 to be sent some samples and then get that refunded off a subsequent order)?

I love FIN Lavender and Geranium, I did use the Neem one on DD's hair but it was too drying, the Lavender and Geranium leaves it soft and shiny, and I make up a detangle spray too using the conditioner topped with water, in a spray bottle
I've gone back to head and shoulders. I suffer from itchy flakey scalp and have not had any luck with any of the other more natural brands… scalp still itches after shampooing… but doesn't when I use H&S.
I do only wash my hair once a week though.
I did use to do the bicarb and vinegar, but as I like in East Kent the water here is hard, hard, hard and it wasn't working very well.

YES they sell this data- but they do not who to yet nor are there any descriptions or protocols to deduce for what purpose.
Yes you can object to this data being collected but they are likely to do so anyway where the law says they can (a law that is being eroded quickly)
You have no control over who accesses what- not just yet anyway.
Only when I die do they stop exporting data! - so be it! there is little point in pursuing this. Life is hard enough.

1 April 2016 – A Durham policeman has taken over national responsibility for firearms licensing, as police tighten their grip on the licensed firearms community.
A press release from BASC reveals that Assistant Chief Constable Dave Orford visited the association's HQ, speaking to top BASC staff about "strategic licensing issues such as ten-year certificates, inconsistent performance and attitudes to risk across police forces in England and Wales."
"By forging a strong working relationship with ACC Orford in his capacity as the national lead on police firearms licensing, as we enjoyed with his predecessor, Chief Constable Andy Marsh, we hope to be able to move the agenda forward and deliver a ten-year certificate," said BASC chief exec Richard Ali.
ACC Orford said: "Learning about the different and diverse needs of the shooting community is vital in my role. I was really glad to be invited to BASC and reassured by their commitment to work with the police service."
Durham has had a very chequered history when it comes to firearms licensing. They were the police force which was savaged by HM Coroner after re-arming Michael Atherton, who killed most of his extended family after having his shotguns returned to him despite being well known to the police following multiple complaints of domestic violence. The IPCC report – which, incidentally, contains errors of law* – can be viewed here (PDF).
One of the police constables who granted Atherton's certificates was PC Damien Cobain, an FEO who was thrown out of the force for quietly selling on firearms handed in for destruction and pocketing the proceeds. His partner in crime was PC Maurice Allen, sacked in disgrace for the same offence. Both police employees received suspended prison sentences and kept their pensions – albeit heavily reduced by a court.
In an attempt to whitewash over the findings of the coroner, Durham enlisted Chief Constable Andy Marsh, the former national head of firearms licensing, to use a grieving relative of Atherton's victims as a frontman to launch the infamous shop-a-gun owner hotlin, which cost the public £15,000.
The hotline was pulled after a furious public backlash, despite support from BASC at the time of its launch.
Since the Atherton murders Durham firearms licensing has become highly inefficient, with shooters there reporting huge delays in routine grants and variations.
The appointment of a Durham police employee to head up firearms licensing across the UK does not seem auspicious. The licensed firearms community is holding its breath to see whether he will oversee positive changes or whether he will remain complicit in inefficiency while blaming the law-abiding shooter for his departments' failings.

India is the only country in the world where one can find so much versatility. Be it the region or religion, food or climate, languages or philosophies, India will always amaze its tourists. Those who have visited India can surely tell how amazing this country really is. And those who are planning to visit will definitely have a wonderful time in India. An India Tour is a must-have for any and every type of tourists. It can offer so much to the people who want to take a break from their stressful life. There are certain things to take keep in mind while planning a trip to India.
The most important question about any tour in India is that will it fulfill the purpose for which the tour was taken in the first place? Different types of tourist have distinct needs and so require special arrangements. A man traveling with his family on a family vacation would be least interested in destination famous for night life. Trekkers and adventure seekers would spend their entire day on the mountains rather than exploring historical wonders. For a honeymoon couple, solitude is more important than a famous tourist hotspot full of people. A tour should be according to the traveler's preference. It should give the traveler both time and space to enjoy what he asked for.
The next thing is to take the help of an experienced tour operator to have a tour of India. Ok, so one has done all the research on how to travel and what to see in India but what about the arrangements? If the traveler is doing all the work like booking tickets and hotel reservation then there is no point in having such vacation. The one doing all these works would not be able to enjoy himself. Holiday tours are all about relaxing and enjoying. It is the time to be free from any worries or tensions. So it is better to let the professional tackle all the hassle and difficulties while the tourist can have maximum fun.
A properly organized and planned tour of India is what every tourist should ask for from any India Tours Guide. It should also be flexible and customizable in order to adjust with any new requirements that may arise during the tour. A best tour operator or travel guide is that who fulfills every need of the tourist and that too in time.
One can enjoy a lot of things in India. There are many exotic tourist spots that are counted as world heritage site where every year millions of vacationers come and see incredible things of India. The hill stations in India are also charm for all types of visitors, who want to spend holiday in top mountain areas. There are famous hill stations like Dehradun, Mussoorie, and Darjeeling is the best choices if you desire to get a feel of picturesque beauty and pleasant natural surroundings. Some of the hill stations are also perfect center for different types of water sports.

NickG replied to NickG's topic in RockWorksThanks! That's exactly what I was after.
lith model that conforms to top of borehole elevations
NickG posted a topic in RockWorksRock Works Community, I am working in Rock Works 17 generating a lithological model from 35 boreholes from which I hope to take ~10-15 cross sections. My model generation is more or less working, but my issue is that I have not been able to figure out how to tell the model to conform to the surface profile established from the surface elevations of each borehole (interpolated linearly or otherwise). In other words, I want the model to define a non-flat ground surface from the known surface elevations of the boreholes and apply that to my cross sections (which I assume means it needs to be applied to my model as well). What is the easiest way to do this? Currently, my surface is shown as flat and above my borehole surface elevations (I think at the elevation of my overall domain's max Z value). One rabbit hole I am looking into currently is generating a grid based map of my surface elevations and then running my model with a warp referenced to this grid. Is this a) a viable solution for what I am talking about and 'b) is there a better approach for what I am trying to do? Also, a brief account of the work flow for generating a grid-based map would be great, for so far I have not been able to figure out how to tell the grid generator to use my borehole elevations as input data. I have attached an image of my cross section currently (with the flat top above my borehole elevations). I drew a crude red line on here to show what I am trying to achieve. Thank you for your time.

Your Ruby Cup should sit as low in your vagina as is possible and comfortable – lower than a tampon. The most suitable angle will differ between women, you may need to try a few different positions to find the right one for your body. It's fine if the cup fits a bit higher in your vagina, this may be because of the position of your cervix- all vaginas are different. The stem at the bottom of the cup will help you to adjust, use it to gently push the cup higher or lower. If the stem is causing discomfort, or sticking out of your vagina, you can trim it to size – have a look at our FAQ Should I cut the stem? to find out more.

Busy Summer
31 Aug 2012 15:41
Can`t believe the school summer holidays are almost over. We seem to have had lots of families staying this summer and already are getting some repeat bookings for next year, so they must have enjoyed themselves. Asking where they have visited, the Safari Park seems to have been one of the most popular. A family last week went Quad Biking at Peachley - the morning it poured with rain but they said it only added to the enjoyment. The hot tub also proved to be very popular, so did the fishing pools as there seemed to be a lot of Grandads teaching fishing skills to their grandchildren.
Next weekend we have got another 18 people arriving from Finland. I expect they are going to have an action packed week, a coach trip planned for every day - have got a long shopping list of supplies to get them for their arrival.
Our local Friendship Club had their last summer garden meeting here with lunch and high tea. They were so busy competing in their own Olympic games, they didn`t have time to have their usual wander through the grounds and sit by the pool.
We have got a couple of fund raising events coming up in October and November, a Curry and Quiz night in aid of the local scouting movement and an evening supper for the Bowls club.
