Like a lot of Fenton this piece has some straw marks and air bubbles from when it was made. In the bottom of the bowl, around one of the top of the horn holes, there is a feature of wrinkling glass that occurred because of a defect in the mould when the glass was pressed in.

To end a beautiful fall weekend, I spent the day in Letchworth State Park (called the Grand Canyon of the East) with my mom and my girls. We first walked around their annual craft show and I bought myself and the girls some new earrings. I have a favorite stand that I buy hand-made earrings and other jewelry from every year! We had a few "fair food" snacks then continued to the park to the lower falls. Nina and I walked down the 127 steps to the lower falls while Mom and the other 2 girls hung out at the playground. Many pictures later we headed back towards home, stopping in Warsaw for lunch at a great little restaurant, Laurie's. My uncle and his girlfriend took me to this restaurant last year and I LOVED it so we make it our late-lunch stop on the way home from the craft show now! And, of course, we had to stop for pumpkins at our favorite pumpkin place, just outside of Warsaw.
Here are a few of my favorite pics from Monday. Please check out my 2011 photo gallery for more autumn shots of Letchworth!

Here's a pot roast recipe I use often from Prevention magazine's eat Smart guide.
Ingredients include 2lb beef top round, 8 large onions thinly sliced, 1 finely chopped carrot, 1/2 finely chopped celery rib, 2 tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley, 1 tsp rubbed sage, 1/4 tsp white peppercorns, 1 cup dry white wine, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp tomato paste, 1lb rigatoni, grated parmesan cheese
Place the meat in a large, deep saucepan, or small dutch oven. Place carrots, onions, and celery over the meat. Add parsley, sage, and peppercorns. Add wine. Add 8 cups of cold water and salt. Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 to 3.5 hours. Turn the meat every 20 minutes to cook it evenly. Once done remove meat and set aside. Mix tomato paste into sauce remaining in the pot.
Cook pasta according to package directions. Divide among 8 bowls. Serve pasta with parmesan and thinly sliced pot roast. Enjoy.

Rebel kitty and the chalk, originally uploaded by Lorimae Undercroft.
Drawing in the street!
Drawing in the street!
Rebel kitty did NOT do this!
This is what happens to bad tinies.
I love neko stuff <3 I love the word neko. I love cats. I am a cat. I am one with my cattitude. Meow.
I couldn't find where anyone's posted pictures of the prizes yet, but if I find anything that I'm able to wear either as a tiny or as a scrawny childav size, I'll get pictures! I really just like visiting neko themed shops, even if most of the time the stuff is too big.
I have a sculpty belt kit I think, from Arcane. I say "i think" because I'm not sure if it was a sample to show just one of the sculpts from the kit or if the board (or maybe chair) gave a whole kit. I will just make my own belt one of these days! :)
I giggle to myself every time I think about doing this. Sometimes in event search I see where people are looking for models. I know that they mean human grown-up style avatars willing to wear their clothing/hair or whatever it is they need models for. I really want to go to these events as my tiny self, all done up in my ladybug decor and either tell them I want to model or tell them I'm just here as Teddy's agent and he's the one interested in the event it's for male clothing.
I don't know if they'd have a sense of humor of if they'd just straight up ban me haha
Yup, I find the whole idea of the plan to be super funny!
There was a class a while back that I saw on modeling, but the whole event listing was confusing and seemed very serious. Not only that I"m pretty sure it actually cost! Doesn't modeling just involve standing on a pose stand and not being butt ugly for the photos? I need to educate my bear on this stuff!
I thought it was at first, but no.. no it isn't!
Got tired of waiting on stuff to rez, my attention span isn't cut out for this haha. Time to find another showcase spot to visit!
We got outta the way JUST IN TIME! this sim is so cute :)

Currently, the UK economic climate is uncertain as the political landscape for the future remains unclear. However, the financial sector is a resilient one and has so far emerged largely unscathed from the build-up to Brexit, as a recent Reuters survey shows.
Yet, as the final Brexit outcome remains unclear, this may not be the case for long. Currently London has the largest number of banks and the largest commercial insurance market in the European Union (EU) and remains the European centre of international finance. This forms a huge part of the UK economy; it accounts for over 2m jobs and £66bn of tax payments in the UK. Understandably the sector remains cautious; in a worst case scenario, Oliver Wyman predicts as many as 75,000 jobs could go, while the London Stock Exchange suggested two years ago that figure could be as high as 232,000.
And, financial firms and markets are more heavily regulated and supervised than most. During these uncertain times, most firms are likely to be evaluating their exposure and strategy in terms of regulation, operations, and distribution as well as the impact of falling exchange rates and communicating to clients within the EU. Investments in big ticket items are likely to sit on the back burner for now.
So, significant IT investments may not be top of the agenda at the moment. However, just remaining compliant and agile enough to ride through the uncertainties requires a certain amount of investment. It becomes increasingly important to understand how and where client data is stored and how it is protected. Doing this requires resilient hardware and software platforms. Legacy systems may need to be upgraded but this can seem an impossible task without a large increase to IT budgets.
However, using a subscription or as-a-service model allows financial organisations to spread the technology cost burden associated with a capital spend, enabling them to implement the best technology to ensure both compliance and agility. A model such as this not only spreads the costs of an investment over the term of the agreement, it also protects against the unpredictable costs relating to device ownership such as maintenance, damages and breakdowns. Warranty services can also be built into the model meaning that assets can be managed, replaced and disposed of in a safe and compliant manner as needed. The model also protects against any unexpected large purchases. If additional IT assets are required, then they can be added to the terms of the agreement with no upfront outlay.
This may be a change from the usual way in which financial organisations fund IT investments. However, it is one that is already widely adopted by employees to fund their cars and mobile phones. Like cars, technology also has a shelf-life, and it can become obsolete very quickly. Streamlining the payment process throughout its lifecycle not only removes the risks associated with upfront investments, but it can also save time and money.
Indeed replacing, upgrading or installing new technology assets can be time-consuming, challenging and costly. Budget aside, the main concerns in the financial industry centre around data privacy and security, and the absence of the right in-house skills and expertise. However, working with a trusted digital services partner and using a subscription or as-a-service funding model can go a long way to overcoming these challenges.
Technology is also a tool for growth and competitive advantage. Digital transformation is one area that is impacting all areas of business. Certainly, consumers, as well as employees, are expecting a more immersive and flexible way of working. For example, Samsung describes bank branches of the future as advice-driven financial centres incorporating existing technologies such as smartphones, tablets, self-serve kiosks and wearables, as well as newer technologies such as virtual reality and virtual desktop infrastructure.
So, although the political backdrop remains unsettled, technology continues to move forward with certainty. Adopting a digital transformation strategy can realise benefits in terms of both business agility and competitive advantage. For instance, according to a study by BDO, nine out of ten financial institutions say they either have a digital transformation strategy or are developing one. Subscription and as-a-service models help organisations invest in powerful technologies to realise their digital future. without putting a strain on capital expenditure.
It may prove difficult to predict the future political climate as well as its impact on the UK finance market. But, organisations cannot afford to stand still when it comes to technology. Subscription and as-a-service models allow them to move forward without risk.

Exodus 32:1-20 English Standard Version (ESV)
The Golden Calf
32 When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron and said to him, "Up, make us gods who shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him." 2 So Aaron said to them, "Take off the rings of gold that are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me." 3 So all the people took off the rings of gold that were in their ears and brought them to Aaron. 4 And he received the gold from their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made a golden[a] calf. And they said, "These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!" 5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, "Tomorrow shall be a feast to the Lord." 6 And they rose up early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.
7 And the Lord said to Moses, "Go down, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. 8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them. They have made for themselves a golden calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it and said, 'These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!'" 9 And the Lord said to Moses, "I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people. 10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them, in order that I may make a great nation of you."
11 But Moses implored the Lord his God and said, "O Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? 12 Why should the Egyptians say, 'With evil intent did he bring them out, to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth'? Turn from your burning anger and relent from this disaster against your people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, 'I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.'" 14 And the Lord relented from the disaster that he had spoken of bringing on his people.
15 Then Moses turned and went down from the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, tablets that were written on both sides; on the front and on the back they were written. 16 The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets. 17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is a noise of war in the camp." 18 But he said, "It is not the sound of shouting for victory, or the sound of the cry of defeat, but the sound of singing that I hear." 19 And as soon as he came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, Moses' anger burned hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain. 20 He took the calf that they had made and burned it with fire and ground it to powder and scattered it on the water and made the people of Israel drink it.

Post-termination benefits and damages
The Court of Appeal decision in the "NEW FLAMENCO" appeared in the January 2016 edition of this Bulletin. The Supreme Court has now ruled - [2017] UKSC 43 - on the interesting issue of damages raised by this case.
The charterers repudiated a long-term time charter by redelivering this cruise ship two years early. The owners sold her around the same time as redelivery for approximately US$24m. The value at the contractually agreed date of redelivery would have been much lower, around US$7m.
The owners claimed their loss of profit over the remaining two years of the charterparty, but the arbitrator ruled that they had to give credit for the benefit that accrued by selling the ship at the earlier date. This resulted in the owners recovering no damages at all.
The Court of Appeal supported this conclusion but the Supreme Court (in fact supporting the findings of Mr Justice Popplewell at first instance in the High Court) has now reversed that decision. In doing so they restated the existing understanding of the law that, in order to be brought into account, a benefit must have been caused either by the breach of the contract or by a successful act of mitigation. According to their Lordships the required causal link was missing in this case. The sale of the vessel did not constitute mitigation of the loss of the charter income stream.
In Lord Clarke's view:
Even if the vessel had been sold due to a lack of employment, the answer would have been the same since the premature termination would only be the occasion for the sale, not the legal cause of it. The issues in this case are difficult yet the judgment only contains seven paragraphs of reasoning. The only consideration of existing case law is a reference back to the judge's summary of this at first instance.
This is something of a frustration. As the Court of Appeal pointed out the: "questions of law in the realm of mitigation" are "notoriously difficult". Nothing in the Supreme Court's judgment will help in the struggle to grapple with those questions, although it is probably fair to say that in most cases, the application of the compensatory principle is much more straightforward.

Thoughts on the Market The manufacturing and engineering Sector in Ireland employs over 200,000 people directly (400,000 indirectly). It is estimated that over 43,000 more people could be working directly in manufacturing in Ireland by 2020. This sector contributes hugely to employment across all skill levels, in all regions throughout the country and across a range of sectors including medical devices, pharma/biopharma, food, ICT/electronics and engineering. Manufacturing plays a crucial role in Ireland's economy, but it is rapidly changing and becoming more complex meaning a different set of capabilities will be required. In terms of sectors - as a whole, the medical technology industry is estimated to be worth somewhere between €173-193 billion and Ireland is the second biggest exporter of medical technology in Europe with giants like Boston Scientific and Medtronic employing 5,200 and 4,500 respectively in Ireland alone. The main area of expertise lies in the cardiovascular area (Abbott, Medtronic and Boston) but there are a host of orthopaedic (J&J and Stryker) and diagnostic manufacturers such as Beckman Coulter. According to the IDA, Ireland's MedTech sector manufacturers 50% of ventilators used in acute hospitals worldwide, 33% of the world's contact lenses and 30 million people with diabetes use Irish-made injectable devices. Advances in science and technology sees the rise of combination products particularly with pharma and ICT. The rise of the "Smart Device" has prompted a significant increase in the demand for niche skillsets. Similarly, to changes within medical device manufacturing, the pharma/biopharma sector has shifted towards healthcare that is tailored to the specific needs of the patient. Targeted therapeutic interventions has led to the growth of innovative delivery mechanisms, niche products targeting specific or rare illness/diseases and an increase in biologics. Ireland is also a host to a number of global players in the ICT manufacturing sector including Intel, Dell, TE Connectivity, Analog Devices and Valeo. Growth opportunities are in systems integration and R&D with the creation of the above mentioned "intelligent" devices. These devices are not just limited to medical devices however. ICT permeates almost all sectors. Companies such as Valeo Vision Systems (automotive electronics) in Galway are leading players in the smart technology and machine/deep learning space – self-driving cars being their main area of focus. This sector has a great impact across all businesses with adoption of ICT becoming a necessity for all manufacturing companies. Engineering companies in Ireland (sub-supply and own brand products) serve a range of markets including the med-tech, pharma/biopharma, ICT as well as engineering industrial products, products for the aerospace industry, agricultural equipment, plant and machinery.in the demand for niche skillsets. The Irish start-up scene continues to gain momentum with interesting new inventions particularly incorporating the use of artificial intelligence. Sonarc is a company developing the world's first commercially viable speaker with no moving parts. Coroflo claims to have developed the world's first accurate breastfeeding monitor. EnteraSense has developed a capsule that can be ingested by patients after surgery to monitor for any subsequent upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Kite Medical has created a novel device for detecting kidney reflux in children. Salaries In 2019 Salaries have been increasing across the sector, particularly for junior engineers entering the workforce. It remains a candidate driven market with highly skilled engineers holding a lot of the power on their side at the negotiating table. Where employers struggle with internal equity and capped salary bands, they are paying more attention to their benefits, offering flexible working options. These options include remote working, flexi-time, reduced working hours, more appealing healthcare packages/pension schemes, extra days annual leave, bonuses and stock/share options. Top Tip for 2019 The modern engineer needs more than a technical skillset to succeed. Engineers need to have an array of soft skills such as team work, communication, critical thinking etc. These soft skills will make you stand out from the crowd.

Ireland's unemployment rate of 5.3% has certainly dramatically improved from near 16% in 2012. More people are working in Ireland than ever, which is very positive. The drive to get more business into the regions and outside the main cities is on-going and working. Pressure on housing relative to other major cities, may be overstated but it is in everyone's interest to balance employment in regional areas. Salary inflation has been increasing in specific areas (IT, legal/compliance, data security, life sciences, banking) and in many cases experienced double digit percentage increases. Ireland is still relatively attractive to mobile European talent, but there has been pressure on salaries because of unprecedented demand. Benefits are increasingly a consideration for applicants, particularly in the technology world where flexible working is becoming the expected norm rather than a differentiating factor. There is no question that the employers who are winning "talent battles" are really looking at their employee experience and also their applicant experience more closely than ever. Effective employer branding was a novelty a few years ago, but now essential in attracting top talent. The good news is that successful employer branding works and ensures salary inflation is not excessive and hiring new talent is controllable Overall, 2019 looks likely to be an interesting year, but as long as we stay competitive and offer some flexibility, Ireland has every reason to believe we can continue to outperform other countries in the war for talent! 2019 Salary Guides for each discipline: Accountancy & Finance Banking & Financial Services Construction & Property Services HR Insurance IT Legal & Compliance Manufacturing & Engineering Marketing Multilingual Office Support Sales Software Sales Science & Pharma Supply Chain
A polarizing topic and a polarizing question, who wins in the battle of the sexes? The topic of equality in the workplace and lack of transparency has come to the forefront of many internal and external discussions. According to the Society of Women's Engineers, in 2003 only 20% of new graduates from an engineering discipline were female in the United States. Compare that to a recent study in 2018 by Roberta Rincon, PH.D., Manager of Research at the SWE, where only 30% of women who earn a bachelor's degree in Engineering are still working in that profession 20 years later and only 13% of engineers are women in the USA. However, there was a 54% increase in women being awarded engineering and computer science degree between 2011 and 2016. If we bring this closer to home, just 11% of the UK's engineering workforce were female in 2017, a 2% increase since 2015. The UK also has the lowest percentage of female engineers in the EU, under 10% where the likes of Latvia, Bulgaria and Cyprus have nearly 30%. One step closer again and we are in Ireland where less than 25% of the people working in STEM related professions are women. Accenture conducted a survey which conveyed that there are negative stereotypes towards STEM subjects and careers. Certainly, there is still a long way to go before we reach true equality, it is a highly important issue. Yet, how about we move away slightly from representation and focus on pure achievement and contribution when discussing women and men in engineering? We provide the engineering icons and their achievements, and you decide who wins in a casual five-a-side match up! Let's start at a time when engineering was starting to make waves across the whole of society and specifically focus in on electrical engineering, our first match up is Nikola Tesla and Edith Clarke. Edith Clarke First Female Electrical Engineer and First Female Professor of Electrical Engineering in the University, teaching for 10 years. Invented the calculator while working as a Supervisor in GE. Also invented Clarke Transformation and was posthumously inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame Two of her papers in mathematics won awards from the AIEE, best regional paper in 1932 and best national paper in 1941. Nikola Tesla The famous Croatian began working in Edison Machine Works, troubleshooting installations and improving generators patented over 300 inventions but is most well known for the Tesla Coil and oscillator. Advised on the electrical system for Niagara Falls. Invented a radio remote control boat, dubbing it "teleautomation" but the general public considered it magic or even made the outlandish claim a small monkey was driving it. This would later go into mass use in World War I for torpedoes with Tesla getting little acclaim. Effectively dying bankrupt, he was well known for his eccentric behaviour, working everyday from 9am to 6pm, walking at least 8 miles every day and possessing an eidetic memory. So, who was the bright spark who outshone the other between this duo of electrical engineers? Next up we have the Civil Engineers who paved the way in their fields, Gustave Eiffel and Emily Warren Roebling. Emily Warren Roebling Contributed massively to the completion of the Brooklyn bridge. After her husband, Washington Roebling, the chief engineer for the Brooklyn Bridge, contracted Caisson Disease and became bed-ridden, she developed an extensive knowledge of Materials, Stress Analysis and Cable Construction. She also became the only person to relay instruction to his assistants and aided in the plans for completion of the bridge itself. She took over a lot of the chief engineer duties and jointly planned the bridges completion and was the first to cross the bridge by carriage. Campaigned for women's rights and against discriminatory practices targeted at women, winning wide acclaim and awards for her essay "A Wife's Disabilities". Gustave Eiffel Most famous for the Eiffel Tower but also contributed to the liberty statue and also designed the Garabit Viaduct. The Eiffel Bridge, and Gustave's first major work, which is in Bordeaux has been protected as a French Historical Monument. Even though he was only a contractor for the Panama Bridge project he was implicated in the financial and political scandal. Contributed massively to aerodynamics and civil engineering, he died on 27 December 1923 while listening to Beethovens 5th Symphony The Brooklyn Bridge vs the Eiffel Tower, who built more of a legacy, Gustave or Emily? Both certainly had their issues to overcome but left a lasting legacy behind them but who made the bigger impression on the civil engineering world? Following on from Civil Engineering, we have a match up between a physicist and a chemist who both revolutionized their own respective fields and the world as we know it. Stephanie Kwolek Offered a position at the DuPont facility in New York, the vacancy arose as the majority of men were overseas in World War II but developed a career spanning 40 years, becoming the only female employee in 2015 to receive the Lavoisier Medal for outstanding achievement. She became the fourth woman to be added to the National Inventors Hall of Fame after creating Kevlar and had an illustrious career in working with polymers. Stephanie never profited from the discovery as she signed it over to DuPont, but Kevlar is used in hundreds of different products that we use daily such as mobile phones and cables. She won a publication award for her Nylon Rope Trick which created Nylon from a beaker at room temperature but also received the Chemical Pioneer Award from the American Institute of Chemists and an award for Creative Invention from the American Chemical Society. The Royal Society of Chemistry awards scientists the 'Stephanie L Kwolek Award' to exceptional contributions to the area of materials chemistry outside of the UK. John Bardeen Awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics twice, first in 1956 for the invention of the transistor and secondly in 1972 for a fundamental theory of conventional superconductivity known as the BCS theory. His development of the transistor helped with almost all modern technology such as telephones and computers, effectively bringing in the information age. In 1990, John was included in Life Magazines 100 most Influential Americans of the Century. Worked on magnetic mines and torpedoes during World War II. Sony have created a John Bardeen Professional Chair post at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a bursar of $3 million. With both inventors and engineers leaving a massive legacy behind them both in academia and in real life application of science, it is a hard-won battle about who comes out on top between this pair. Now to look at more of a celebrity type of engineer and inventor with a flair for the limelight. Hedy Lamarr An Austrian born, inventor and actress who both helped develop a radio guidance system for allied torpedoes and starred in the likes of Algiers, Boom Town and Samson and Delilah. With no formal training, she created improved traffic stoplights, torpedoes that could resist frequency jamming and advised Howard Hughes on changing the design of his aeroplanes to sleeker, streamlined versions. In 1939, she was awarded the "most promising new actress" and has a Hollywood walk of Fame star. She became the first woman to receive the Invention Convention's BULBIE Gnass Spirit of Achievement Award, was awarded the Electronic Frontier Foundations Pioneer Award and also was posthumously inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. She has had her fair share of controversy with her film Ecstasy being banned in numerous countries for its content, being convicted of shoplifting twice and a few other scandals. Elon Musk The South African entrepreneur who is the founder and CEO of SpaceX and Co-Founder and CEO of Tesla with other massive companies such as The Boring Company which cover infrastructure and construction to Neuralink, a neurotechnology company. He founded X.com which later became PayPal and was sold to eBay for $1.5 billion and also Zip2 who were later acquired by Compaq for $340 million. Elon has stated that the goals if SpaceX, Tesla and SolarCity are humanitarian in reducing the effect of global warming by increasing the use of sustainable energy and even found a colony on mars. He has been ranked as one of the most powerful people in the world by Forbes, was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society and the Business Insider named him in the top ten of business visionaries creating value for the world. Who has the bigger wow factor, the movie star who escaped Nazi occupation to become a massive film star and inventor or the modern-day entrepreneurial engineer changing the landscape of the world? Up next are two engineers who have represented two of the biggest companies in the world with very different backgrounds but still inspirational stories. Ann Kelleher Born in Macroom, Co. Cork who was one of 5 women in a class of 55 studying engineering in UCC. She continued her studies achieving a master's in electrical engineering and became the first ever female to receive a PHD from the NMRC. She began her career as a process engineer in Intel Ireland later progressing to factory manager, eventually site managing Intel's New Mexico plant. She became the first woman in Intel's history to be named Vice President, later becoming senior vice-president. In 2018 she became one of 25 women to be recognised in "Ireland's Most Powerful Women Award" and was even tipped by Forbes as a good candidate to replace Elon Musk at Tesla. She is a huge advocate for women working in engineering and has called for more girls to study engineering and that more women should be applying for senior management roles. Steve Wozniak Electronics engineer who co-founded Apple who is widely considered one of the founding fathers of the personal computer revolution. After a traumatic plane crash, he suffered from amnesia using Apple II computer games to regain his memory but later leaving apple to invent and patent a universal controller. He has a long line of philanthropic programs he works on, ranging form founding the Electronic Frontier Foundation, sponsoring the Tech Museum, the Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose and provided the entirety of the budget for the technical program for his local school district in Los Gatos. In 2014 he was induced into the Manufacturing Wall of Fame while also acting as the Innovator in Residence at High Point University and receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at the American Museum of Natural History. As well as holding an electrical engineering degree from the University of California, he has 10 honorary degrees from American, English, Canadian and Spanish degrees. Is it the Cork native with her extremely impressive CV who comes out smiling or is it Woz with his contribution to Apple and personal computers? Overall this is not to split opinion or be divisive, it is an insight into the major engineering feat's that have been achieved by men and women. Despite low female representation in the engineering sphere, female leaders such as Hey Lamarr and Ann Kelliher still emerged changing the world for the better. These female leaders went against the grain in spectacular fashion portraying that we can do more to further the conversation on diversity in engineering.
Working as a Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Recruitment Consultant I'm very interested in educating people on a career in the building services industry. I've been recruiting in the industry for nearly three years and have noticed a significant drop in the amount of Building Services graduates entering into the workforce. M&E Engineering firms are constantly calling looking for assistance in filling positions they can't seem to fill themselves. A career in Building Services can be very challenging and rewarding with several different types of positions available in the industry. It combines a flair for design and problem solving along with dynamic working environments in Ireland and abroad. According to the CAO, points for a place in Building Services have been relatively low over the last few years which is surprising given the job opportunities. What is Building Services? Building Services Engineers are responsible for designing and installing energy systems in buildings. These systems include heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, water supply, fire protection, power, lighting and data communication systems. They work alongside architects and other engineering disciplines to design, develop and manage new technologies that impact the economy, utility, durability, and comfort of buildings. Working in Building Services Building Services Engineers can either work on the consultancy (design) side or the contractor (installation / commissioning) side of the industry. Both require knowledge of Building Services but are different in terms of day-to-day activities. Working for the Consultant – Design, Flair & Problem solving. Meeting with Clients. Tender / Concept design. Research new designs, technologies, and construction methods. Design calculations. Layout designs / drawings. Simulations. Working for the Contractor – Dynamic, Hands on, Commercial. Installation of M&E services. Commissioning of M&E services Interpret technical drawings and schematics. Environmental, Health and Safety on site. Provide feedback to design engineers on Client problems. Quality assurance. Careers & Opportunities Working as a Building Services Engineer there are several areas one can specialise in ranging from Residential / Commercial projects such as apartment complexes, offices and retail units to large Industrial / Pharmaceutical projects such as food processing plants, power stations and manufacturing facilities. As well as these projects happening in Ireland, there are plenty of opportunities in the UK, Europe, the Middle East and also Africa. Projects in the Commercial sector use conventional HVAC systems however above is a photo of the mechanical services in a Pharmaceutical plant. Plants like this have a higher demand for air, water, steam and other hazardous materials hence the larger and more specialised equipment. Salary Information Position Salary (1 – 2 years) € Salary (2 – 5 years) € Salary (5 years plus) € CAD Technician 25 – 27 27 – 30 30+ BIM Modeller 25 – 27 30 – 35 35+ Revit MEP Modeller 27 – 30 30 – 40 40+ Mechanical Design Engineer 25 – 28 35 – 45 50+ Electrical Design Engineer 25 – 28 35 – 45 50+ Mechanical Project Engineer 25 – 28 35 – 45 60+ Electrical Project Engineer 25 – 28 35 – 45 60+ Mechanical Project Manager N/A 40 – 60 70+ Electrical Project Manager N/A 40 – 60 70+ Software Building Services has come along way over the years in terms of the software used by engineers. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the most talked about / required package in the industry with it being used by both consultancies and contractors. It describes the process of designing a building collaboratively using a system of computer models rather than separate sets of drawings, this helps reduce the risk of errors through integrated design, engineering and fabrication workflows. Below is an image of how a coordination issue between the structural engineers and HVAC engineers was resolved long before the construction phase began, saving precious time, manpower and money. Before BIM, this issue may only have been spotted when the mechanical services were being installed and this issue would have been sent back to the consultants to reroute the services. Most companies nowadays will have BIM as a requirement on their job specifications however, if you have never used it before there are several types of courses available to do. Other software used in Building Services includes: Revit MEP IES Navisworks AutoCAD Dialux Hevacomp Having worked on very exciting roles with extremely innovative and dynamic companies, I find it hard to believe that there is not more of an interest in Building Services as a career. If you see yourself as someone with a flair for design, an interest in energy systems and good at problem solving then why not give me a call to discuss the first / next step in your career.

Don't go requiring your financial advisor to be a plan fiduciary just yet! In a March 15, 2018 decision, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the Department of Labor's (DOL) new fiduciary rule in its entirety. The rule, which became effective June 9 of last year, was due to be fully implemented on July 1, 2019. While a good amount of retirement advisors have expressed dissatisfaction with many of the bureaucratic hurdles contained in the new rule, the fact that the entire rule was struck down is a surprising development in what seemed a foregone conclusion.
No doubt, there are many in the financial industry that are cheering the decision. The new rule would have made anyone who rendered advice on retirement plans a fiduciary – a responsibility not every advisor wanted. One of the most opposed parts of the rule was the heavy regulation on rollovers to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) that took away the incentive for helping participants roll over their accounts. For now, the fiduciary rules revert to the convoluted definitions that were created when the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) was established in 1974.
Not that this is necessarily the last we will hear of the DOL fiduciary rule – there is a possibility that the decision could be stayed or the DOL could even appeal the decision. Neither course seems likely since the Trump administration has already expressed a reluctance to new regulations like the fiduciary rule.
The future of defining fiduciaries may come from a totally different direction. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been looking into the need for a higher standard of fiduciary care for investors and is expected to issue a proposal later this year. Also, several states are looking into defining fiduciary standards, a practice that may grow in the absence of a federal rule.
Some type of clarification in the fiduciary standards is likely in the near future. Now that the fiduciary discussion has been in the public consciousness for the past seven years, there is not much of an appetite among plan sponsors to utilize an advisor who does not have a fiduciary stake in the plan. Stay tuned!

December 13, 2010
/ by Katrina M Mendolera
When: January 1-31
What: Although mentors can fill many roles for children in need, all mentors aim to help young people aspire to greater goals and ambitions in life. Unfortunately, there are 15 million children who either want or need mentors but don't have one. To promote mentoring, January is National Mentor Month.
Background: Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2011, National Mentoring Month was founded by the Harvard School of Public Health and MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership, which is an organization that promotes, advocates and is a resource for mentors and mentoring initiatives. The event aims to raise awareness and encourages adults to take on a mentoring role, ensuring a more positive future for young people in need.
Story Pitch: This event may appeal to educators who can campaign for more mentor volunteers. They can also build awareness of how mentors can help children be more successful in school and life. Organizations and government agencies focused on child welfare can also take advantage of National Mentoring Month. Groups aimed at keeping kids off the streets and off drugs can emphasize how a mentor can provide a young person with healthy after-school recreation.
Story Hook: According to MENTOR, studies have shown that youth mentoring can improve self-esteem, social skills and knowledge of career opportunities. What are the different kinds of mentoring programs that exist? Consider the following when making your pitch:
Tips: Provide the contact information for a mentoring pair who can talk about how a mentoring program has benefitted the life of the child as well as the mentor. Educators can also speak on the significance of a mentor in a child's life and how these relationships are valued by schools.

Why are cats so expensive to get groomed? Well my friends, cat grooming is not easy and can be quite dangerous! We have years of experience, and promise to do the best we can. Not all cats are good candidates for grooming, and since we do not use anesthetics during grooming, we will not groom any cat that has a very high stress response. It's not healthy for the cat, and our first priority is listening to the needs of each kitty. If the cat is extremely aggressive or stressed out and we have tried everything we can we will call the owner to pick them up and the price will be charged according to the work performed.
How Often Should My Cat Get Groomed?
Most cats need to be professionally groomed every 8 weeks.
Why Should My Cat Get Groomed?
It is common for cats to get mats. All cats have oily skin, and when that oil builds up, it gets into the fur and it gets matted. This is especially true on older cats. A regular bath and groom will prevent this from happening. Regular grooming helps shedding, dander, matting, and decreases hairball problems. Your cat will stay in beautiful condition and be worry free. Even though cats seem independent and are not demanding like dogs, we sometimes forget that they have needs. We take that "I don't need you" attitude for granted.
Regular grooming is an integral part of your cat's overall health and well-being. Can you imagine not washing your hair for several months or years? It would get pretty bad. It is so much nicer to be around a fluffy, clean smelling kitty. It is also much less traumatic and less painful (not to mention less expensive) to have kitty on a regular grooming schedule. They deserve it.
Seven Reasons Why Regular Grooming Promotes Good Health for Your Cat
- No matting. A regular bath eliminates the grease and grime that goes into your cat's fur and causes mats.
- Less Expensive. Time equals money. It takes more time and more work to groom a kitty that comes in once a year versus every six weeks.
- Less shedding. A cat that gets groomed on a regular basis sheds a lot less. A good bath loosens up all the dead hair, which gets in your house and on you.
- Less hair balls. The less dead hair your cat licks off will lessen the hairball problem considerably.
- Less dander. A good bath can lessen dander on a cat, which helps kitty and people with allergies.
- Less stress. A cat that gets groomed on a regular basis handles the grooming much better than a cat that comes in only when in trouble. This means a happier cat and less of a chance you will pay handling fees for the "hard to handle" cat.
What Will the Experience Be Like for My Cat?
The more frequently a cat gets groomed, the more they will be able to handle the grooming process. Grooming should not be a negative experience. Some cats do well with being groomed right away; others take a little time. A compliant or shy cat will have a greater tolerance level than an aggressive cat. Health factors will also affect your cat's response to grooming. Cats that are ill or are not feeling well have reason to feel cranky and, therefore, will have lower tolerance levels. The grooming experience is mental conditioning and it may take several times for a cat to feel more comfortable with the process.
At Glamour Paws, we specialize in cats and understand the psychology of cats. Our salon is a spa-like environment and is geared to the needs and sensitivities of felines. After they've been to Glamour Paws a time or two, most kitties become more relaxed knowing that the experience lacks the stress they may have experienced previously.

As many as 3.2m people will cast their vote in today's eighth amendment referendum including 118,000 new voters, underlining the level of public importance being assigned to the historic vote.
The figures were officially confirmed by a number of independent groups yesterday as final preparations were made for the national vote on Ireland's strict abortion laws and amid fevered international media attention.
With polling stations due to open at 7am and close at 10pm tonight, before an initial exit poll is known at 11.30pm and counting begins tomorrow, officials confirmed that 3.2m people are registered to vote nationwide.
The figure is based on Department of Housing and Local Government statistics compiled from each of Ireland's 31 city and county councils, and includes 118,389 new voters — almost double the 66,000 new votes for the 2015 marriage equality referendum.
Among the 118,389-person figure, the highest number of new voters is 19,805 in Dublin City Council, followed by 9,729 in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown and 9,049 in Cork County Council.
The lowest new voter figures are in Leitrim, Roscommon and Longford, where there are 670, 708 and 841 people who are on the register for the first time.
In a statement yesterday, the Union of Students in Ireland said it expects today's vote to be the "largest student turnout in the history of the State".
"Students know their future is at stake here. We're expecting student turnout to be bigger than the marriage equality vote in 2015. With almost 125,000 new voter on the register, we expect the majority to be first-time young voters," said USI president Michael Kerrigan.
In a separate statement, the Referendum Commission called on members of the public to use their vote, with Commission chair Ms Justice Isobel Kennedy saying "it is important you take the opportunity to use your vote".
"How you vote on this issue is entirely a matter for you to decide, but it is important that you take the opportunity to use your vote," Ms Justice Kennedy said.
Polling stations across the country will open at 7am today and close at a strict 10pm deadline, before an initial exit poll — which is an early estimation of how people voted — likely to be revealed on RTE's The Late Late Show at 11.30pm.
Official counting of the ballot boxes in constituencies across the country will begin tomorrow morning, with an overall result tentatively predicted for Saturday evening in Dublin Castle, although a close vote or recount of ballot boxes could delay proceedings.
Meanwhile, Fianna Fáil TD James Lawless released a statement on Twitter yesterday saying that while he continues to have pro-life views he will vote yes in today's referendum.
"However, I no longer think it is credible to pretend that everything is fine as it is. We cannot ignore all the stories we hear of pain and hardship experienced by so many at the most difficult of times.
"I think the majority of Irish people are in the middle but unfortunately this referendum has been reduced to two binary options. I still old the same beliefs I always did, I just don't believe I have the right to enforce them onto others," said Mr Lawless.

I love to be outside and feel the warm sun on my face all year round, so when I am stuck inside all bundled up on these cold blustery winter days it is a major downer for me. When it is so cold that I don't want to leave my hot shower to get dressed to head out into the cold I try to perk myself up with scents of the summer to keep me going through the cold day.
My absolute favorite favorite favorite is Bobbi Brown's Beach Fragrance , Body Oil, and Body Lotion it literally smells like Coppertone and reminds me of the warm sun and my toes in the sand.
Makes an excellent gift as well and a great treat for yourself...

MICKEY MOUSE versus the OSTRICH: TRUMP's start is certainly entertaining and worrisome. It was fun to watch so much enthusiasm to get started. But, it was a bit MICKEY MOUSE in the amateurish way he announced his "orders" and "warning shots". But, Mexico is at the table. The head of the powerful auto industry unions hugs him daily. Immigration issues swamp the courts on a 90 day temporary order that will be over before Opening Day. The Democrats are in total disarray as they don't have any idea where to build their Alamo. Why fight on the cabinet? Why fight improved immigrant vetting? Even Bernie Frank said he was not taking a suicide pill if Todd-Frank goes down. Save your powder for a real fight you can win, Chuck.

And, then there is the Ostrich, CNN, with its head in the sand still fighting the credibility of the election as if the Supreme Court may at any minute overturn it and bestow the crown on Hillary. Perhaps they believe as well that the Falcons will somehow take the Patriots to court and reverse the Super Bowl. Ironic isn't it that Hillary was odds on favorite to win the Presidency. CNN had all the polls predicting the landslide. And, Atlanta had a 25 point lead when CNN turned off their sets and returned to the immigration issue only to wake up on Monday and learn they missed another one.

In the end the Donald is the President. He was elected to change things and despite the "old guard" defenses and the CNN "play by play" callers debunking every day he is. This show is better than the apprentice.

What will you do when the Apocalypse will come ? Race. This is what the new MotorStorm is all about…a huge adrenaline rush provided by an unique environment…the world is collapsing…and all you can do about it is to gather your friends, race between city's collapsing and some other natural disasters.
I have to admit its a great idea…this game will bring racing to another level.
All of the vehicles from the previous MotorStorm entries return (including the popular monster trucks), and to spice up the competition Evolution is adding super bikes and muscle cars. As players race though the city, new natural disasters will significantly alter the race track, guaranteeing a fresh experience even though you're driving on a track for the second time.
With 40 races and a new challenge mode that allows you to customize the racing experience by cherry picking the hazards, offline racers have several options to get their adrenaline rush. MotorStorm Apocalypse also features 16-player online races and customizable 4-player offline split-screen competitions.
Motorstorm Apocalypse will hit the stores this spring.

WASHINGTON, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Two U.S. Marine Corps aircraft have been involved in a "mishap" in the skies off the coast of Japan, leaving seven U.S. military personnel missing, U.S. officials said on Wednesday.
The Marine Corps offered little information in a statement about the incident. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said one of the aircraft was an F/A 18 fighter jet while the other was a KC-130 refueling aircraft, with a combined total of seven personnel aboard. (Reporting by Phil Stewart and Idrees Ali, editing by G Crosse)
