Healthy, flexible and safe workplaces should be prioritised for pregnant workers and new mothers in Scotland to maximise economic growth.
The Scottish Government has pledged to take action to ensure fairer workplaces for women and to tackle discrimination against new and expectant mothers ahead of a report from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) later in the spring.
The measures include:
• A new working group to create guidelines for employers to ensure best practice on recruitment, retention and development of pregnant workers;
• Including best practice in managing pregnancy and maternity appropriately within the Scottish Business Pledge;
• Strengthening employer advice to ensure that work environments are safe and healthy for pregnant women and new mothers, including providing employment rights information; and
• Improving public monitoring and reporting of pregnancy and maternity under the Scottish Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED).
Cabinet Secretary for Fair Work, Skills and Training Roseanna Cunningham presented the plan at a breakfast session on the issue organised by the EHRC and Working Families and Family Friendly Working Scotland, hosted by Maclay, Murray and Spens LLP in Edinburgh. The meeting was also attended by Barclays Bank and the Scottish Parliament.
Ms Cunningham said: "Sadly in 2016, negative consequences of being pregnant or a new mother while working remain frustratingly common. This is unacceptable in a modern Scotland and does not sit well in a fair and equitable society.
"A report from the EHRC on these issues will be published in the coming weeks and as part of the Scottish Government's commitment to fairer workplaces, we want to tackle these issues head on. Discrimination during pregnancy or following birth has the potential to set patterns that persist for the rest of a woman's working life and we need to ensure it is stopped.
"Recent female employment figures have been strong, particularly when compared to the rest of Europe, and we are making progress on the 5050 by 2020 pledge, with a number of organisations signing up. The latest figures also show a drop of 1.8 percentage points in the gender pay gap over the year, so progress is being made. However we must keep highlighting that motherhood does not detract from a worker's productivity or value.
"We have set up the Fair Work Convention which will publish its framework for fairer workplaces in the coming weeks. In the meantime, however, if there are opportunities to improve the rights of employees we will take them."
Sarah Jackson OBE, CEO of Working Families and Chair of the Family Friendly Working Scotland Steering Group added: "Too many women contact our free legal advice service each year because they have been subject to discrimination during pregnancy, maternity or on their return to work. This short changes families and short changes the economy.
"Family Friendly Working Scotland was established to support and promote family friendly workplaces. We therefore welcome today's announcement by the Scottish Government of new measures to help pregnant women and new mothers in the workplace.
"Employers across Scotland must now positively engage with these measures - to better support the parents they employ through their pregnancy, maternity and paternity leave and their return to work, as well as enabling them to balance their work and caring responsibilities in the longer term."

Why am I in a hotel somewhere in Queens, NY? Because, early tomorrow morning we will go to JFK airport to pick up our son, who has been in South Africa for 8 weeks. While there he's been on a safari, bungeed off a bridge (possibly the world's highest commercial bungee), attended a world cup soccer game, and much much more, and somehow did it all and still found time for the 6 week college internship program he was in Africa to attend.
So tonight, in between checking periodically to see if his flights are on schedule, I've decided it's time to give my blog a new look. I've changed it so many times tonight I've lost all perspective. So it's time to quit and get some sleep. I don't know if I like it, but I doubt I'd be able to get it back in its original simple configuration anyhow. So don't be surprised if it changes again while I'm still on summer vacation... Please, let me know if you like it and if you are able to find what you are looking for. Be honest !
Just checked the airline. His 8 hour flight from Johannesburg to Dakar landed on time, and he is now back in the air again, for another 8 hours that will bring him here to NYC. Then it's a 4 to 5 hour drive home... But his girlfriend will be with us and it should all be good!

Nightly News | February 04, 2014
>>> the opening ceremony is this coming friday night. the games begin on thursday, two days from now. with three early events in prime time . as tourists and families of athletes arrive in sochi, if they haven't been warned, and if they fire up their phones at baggage claim, it's probably too late to save the integrity of their electronics and everything inside them. visitors to russia can expect to be hacked . and as richard engel found out upon his arrival there, it's not a matter of if, but when. richard, good evening.
>> reporter: good evening, brian. the state department warns the travelers should have no expectation of privacy. even in their hotel rooms . you are immediately exposed as soon as you try to communicate with anything. one of the first thing visitors to russia will do is log on. hackers here will count on it. we decided to find out how dangerous that could be.
>> welcome to moscow.
>> reporter: with the help of a top american security expert and two brand new computers.
>> we start out with these fresh machines. and we're going to see what happens when you turn them on in russia .
>> reporter: back in the u.s., will created a phony identity for me, the only real detail, my name.
>> you're putting my profile on these computers?
>> that's exactly right.
>> reporter: with our new computers loaded with attractive data, we headed for a restaurant, where we used a new smart phone to browse for information about the sochi olympics . almost immediately we were hacked .
>> did you see where it said downloading?
>> i did.
>> it's actually downloading a piece of malwear.
>> malicious software hijacked our phone before i even started my coffee.
>> anything i say on this will endanger my financial security , maybe even my physical security depending on who's listening?
>> exactly.
>> reporter: one of the largest computer security companies in the world is charged with protecting the games. but experts here say visitors will bring so many devices, the hackers will have plenty of targets.
>> everything segment of this huge, huge, huge infrastructure can be under attack.
>> back at the hotel will hoyt was using specialized software to monitor my two computers. and sure enough, they had also been hacked .
>> you were able to tell that very, very quickly, someone was poking around?
>> exactly.
>> it had taken hackers less than one minute to pounce. within 24 hours they had broken into both computers and started helping themselves to my data.
>> where is this information going?
>> the traffic is going to a server within russia .
>> reporter: american athletes and fans now coming to russia by the thousands are entering a minefield. the instant they log on to the internet.
>> the best way to protect yourself is quite simple, if you don't really need a device, don't bring it. try to avoid the public wifi. and if there's anything particularly and uniquely important on your computer or phone, banking information or photographs, remove it before coming to russia .
>> americans, other visitors as they say, have been warned.

Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science Interdisciplinary Programs
Telecommunications Engineering (B.S.T.E.)
Goals for the Telecommunications Engineering Program
The focus of the UT Dallas's Telecommunications Engineering degree is to provide excellent education in modern communications networks and systems. Our graduates shall be uniquely qualified to apply traditional engineering design and problem solving skills in modern telecommunications.
Educational Objectives for the Telecommunications Engineering Program
On completion of the BS program students should:
- Have a successful, long-lived, engineering based career path
- Meet the needs of industry
- Contribute to, and/or lead, engineering based teams
- Actively pursue continuing (lifelong) learning
High School Preparation
Engineering education requires a strong high school preparation. Pre-engineering students should have high school preparation of at least one-half year in trigonometry and at least one year each in elementary algebra, intermediate and advanced algebra, plane geometry, chemistry, and physics, thus developing their competencies to the highest possible levels and preparing to move immediately into demanding college courses in calculus, calculus-based physics, and chemistry for science majors. It is also essential that pre-engineering students have the competence to read rapidly and with comprehension, and to write clearly and correctly.
Lower-Division Study
All lower-division students in either Electrical Engineering or Telecommunications Engineering concentrate on mathematics, science and introductory engineering courses, building competence in these cornerstone areas for future application in upper-division engineering courses. The following requirements apply both to students seeking to transfer to UT Dallas from other institutions as well as to those currently enrolled at UT Dallas, whether in another school or in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science.
ABET Requirements
All engineering degree plans must satisfy the requirements specified by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The course work must include at least:
- One year (32 SCH) of an appropriate combination of mathematics and basic sciences
- One and one-half years (48 SCH) of engineering topics
- A general education component that complements the technical content
Although the electrical engineering and telecommunications engineering curricula that follow have been designed to meet these criteria, students have the responsibility, in consultation with an advisor, to monitor their own choice of courses carefully to be certain that all academic requirements for graduation are being satisfied. Students are strongly encouraged to take courses in such subjects as accounting, industrial management, finance, personnel administration, and engineering economy.
Academic Progress in Telecommunications Engineering
In order to make satisfactory academic progress as a Telecommunications Engineering major, a student must meet all University requirements for academic progress, and must earn a grade of C- or better in each of the major core courses. No "Major Requirement" course (as listed under Section II of the B.S.T.E. degree requirement) may be taken until the student has obtained a grade of C- or better in each of the prerequisites (if a higher grade requirement is stated for a specific class, the higher requirement applies).

Free Electives (7 hours) Both lower-and upper division courses may count as free electives, but students must complete at least 51 hours of upper-division credit to qualify for graduation.
Degree programs in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science are governed by various accreditation boards that place restrictions on classes used to meet the curricular requirements of degrees they certify. For this reason, not all classes offered by the University can be used to meet elective requirements. Please check with your academic advisor before enrolling in classes you hope to use as free electives.
Fast Track Baccalaureate/Master's Degrees
In response to the need for advanced education in electrical engineering, a Fast Track program is available to exceptionally well-qualified UT Dallas undergraduate students who meet the requirements for admission to the graduate school. The Fast Track program is designed to accelerate a student's education so that both a B.S.E.E. and an M.S.E.E. degree can be earned in five years of full-time study. This is accomplished by (1) taking courses (typically electives) during one or more summer semesters, and (2) beginning graduate course work during the senior year. Details of the requirements for admission to this program are available from the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education.
Honors Program
The Telecommunications Engineering Program offers upper-division Honors for outstanding students in the B.S. Telecommunications Engineering degree program. This program offers special sections of designated classes and other activities designed to enhance the educational experience of exceptional students. Admission to the Honors programs requires a 3.50 GPA in at least 30 hours of coursework. Graduation with Honors requires a 3.50 or better GPA and completion of at least 6 honors classes. These honors classes must include either Senior Honors (TE 4399) or Undergraduate Research in Telecommunications Engineering (TE 4V98) and a Senior Honors Thesis must be completed within one of those two classes. (While the topics may be related, the Senior Thesis does not replace the need for the student to complete a regular Senior Design Project.) The other 5 honors classes can come from a mixture of Graduate level (up to a count of 4) classes and special honor sections of regular undergraduate TE classes (up to a count of 2). Current undergraduate honors courses include but are not limited to: TE 2310(H), TE 3350(H), TE 4399 and TE 4V98. Course grades in the 6 honor classes used to determine Honors status must be B- or higher to qualify.
Departmental Honors with Distinction may be awarded to students whose Senior Honors Thesis is judged by a faculty committee to be of exemplary quality. Only students graduating with Departmental Honors are eligible. Thesis/projects must be submitted by the deadline that applies to M.S. Theses in the graduating semester to allow for proper evaluation. Students interested in Honors with Distinction are encouraged to start working on their thesis/project a year prior to graduation.
The School of Engineering and Computer Science does not offer minors in Telecommunications Engineering at this time.

Audi got some laughs on Sunday when, during the Super Bowl blackout, the luxury brand's official Twitter account joked that it would bring some of its signature LED headlights to help illuminate the darkened Mercedes Benz-sponsored Superdome.
It was a jab at one of Audi's main German competitors, of course, but the joke worked because the high-efficiency bulbs have become one of Audi's design signatures. The brand is hardly alone in using LEDs, but no one has adopted them as widely as Audi, which uses them to give each model distinctive running lights.
"They should be called Audi lights," Audi of America President Scott Keogh boasted last week during a speech at the Washington Auto Show.
Audi now has another lighting evolution in mind. But the brand needs help from safety regulators to bring the technology to the American market.
The feature, called "matrix beam lighting," debuted in the A2 concept car at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Audi says matrix beam lighting allows drivers to use their high beams to interact with other nearby vehicles. A camera automatically detects nearby cars and pedestrians. It would dim some of the bulbs that make up the high beam, thereby keeping the brightest lights out of other drivers' eyes.
It would "essentially eliminate the high- and low-beam settings, or the need for the driver to change them," Stephan Berlitz, the head of lighting technology and electronics at Audi AG, said in a recent issue of Audi magazine.
More light without blinding anyone? Sounds great -- as long as it works.
But the system that Audi is developing is not allowed under rules set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Berlitz said last week at a gathering of technical experts and regulators during the Washington Auto Show.
Under the U.S. regulation, known as Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108, headlights are not allowed to shine in such a dynamic way.
Perhaps it was an effort to prevent old high beams from being too distracting. But not too long ago, Audi asked NHTSA for an interpretation of the standards to figure out whether its new design – clearly an effort to make driving safer -- would be acceptable.
This is just one of many areas where the United States and Europe have different standards. Automakers routinely spend millions of dollars (or euros) to reengineer vehicles for sale in both markets, and have pushed for trade deals that would knock down some of the differences.
For the time being, Americans will have to be content with a less ambitious feature that dims high beams for oncoming cars. Audi put the technology into its A8 sedan for the 2013 model year, calling it "high-beam assistant."
American regulators may very well interpret their rules to let matrix beam lighting hit the market -- once they are confident it is safe, of course.
But until the rules are clear, Audi will probably have an easier time introducing the feature in Europe. So will German competitors like Mercedes, BMW and Opel, which have all demonstrated versions of intelligent headlights.
That may frustrate those Americans who complain that Europeans tend to get the first crack at whatever the German car companies have to offer. And they should know that matrix beam lighting is not all that Audi has in mind.
Berlitz said Audi is also thinking of using lasers for lighting. That path, being pursued aggressively by BMW, would certainly offer a distinctive look.
But before laser headlights or tail lights can become a reality, car companies and government officials will need to decide whether a laser diode counts as a "light emitting diode" for regulatory purposes, Berlitz said. It is a diode that emits light, so it might seem to be an open and shut case.
But regulators may decide lasers are different enough to require new safety rules.
That makes sense. Anyone who has been flashed in the eyes by a laser pointer – or, for that matter, by the high beams of a driver who insists on using them at inappropriate times -- probably understands the need for caution.
Those people can still hope the wait for the new brights doesn't last very long.

King County plans to relocate the sheriff's office, courthouse and other regional services to a little-used building in Vashon town owned by Vashon Island Fire & Rescue.
If approved by the King County Council, the county would remodel the former Firemen's Association building across the street from VIFR's main station, transforming it into a multipurpose rural service center with room for emergency response exercises and community meetings. The building would also serve as an operations center during an actual disaster.
The move, county officials say, would save money, consolidate services and better serve Islanders. Under the proposal, the county would spend around $700,000 to wholly makeover the 2,600-square-foot building, turning it into a courthouse and satellite sheriff's office that VIFR or community groups could use as well. The fire department, in turn, would not charge the county rent for the first five years; after that, the rent would be below market.
Currently, the county and sheriff's office rent space at Courthouse Square, a complex owned by Vashon businessman Tom Bangasser about a mile south of town.
George Brown, VIFR's assistant fire chief, said the partnership would serve the fire department well. The building was donated to the agency three years ago when the Firemen's Association, a holdover from the days when Vashon had an all-volunteer department, folded. Since then, VIFR officials have used the structure for occasional drills and long-term storage, Brown said. But it largely sits empty, and VIFR has wanted to find another use for it, he said.
The county approached VIFR last year, and for the last six months, the two governments have been in conversation and negotiations, Brown said. The five-member commission recently directed Brown to pursue a contract with the county; the proposal, now that it's been drafted, will go before the commissioners for approval, Brown said.
"We feel this is a win-win," Brown said. "We like having the community's needs right here, centrally located. We also like having the sheriff's department close to us."
Rex Stratton, a commissioner, said he, too, supports the arrangement.
"I think we are all quite pleased with the opportunity to have that building put to productive use and particularly to have the county there," he said.
The courthouse, open one day a month when a District Court judge comes to Vashon, has been located at Courthouse Square since the 3,200-square-foot building was constructed in 1973. Bangasser purchased the building in 1999. In 2005, he said in an email to The Beachcomber, he spent more than $100,000 completely remodeling the building so that it would better serve the county.
Bangasser said he offered to sell the building to the county, noting, in his email, that he made "a very, very good offer reflecting our commitment to the values of this community. … It was a very good deal for the county."
What's more, he added, the county is the logical tenant for Courthouse Square. "It was built specifically for the King County sheriff and the District Court," he said in his email.
But county officials said that it made more sense to relocate. The county currently pays $2,376 a month to use Courthouse Square; with utilities, its monthly costs are around $3,020, according to Cameron Satterfield, a spokesperson for the county. What's more, he said, Courthouse Square needs a lot of repairs, including a new roof and remodeling to comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
"After reviewing the costs associated with purchasing the Courthouse Square building, completing the needed renovations and ongoing ownership costs, it was clear that pursuing a partnership with Vashon Island Fire & Rescue to use their building would be a more cost-effective option," Satterfield said in an email.
If the contract is approved by the county council and VIFR, the county will begin working on the Firemen's Association building right away, with a possible move-in date in about a year.

WASHINGTON -- Members of Congress often urge federal agencies and the private sector to hire military veterans, but a survey suggests they rarely follow that advice with their personal staff.
The survey says veterans made up less than 3 percent of the staff in the congressional offices that responded. The survey was conducted by HillVets, an organization of veterans serving in government.
Slightly more than half the 535 congressional offices elected to respond to the survey. Lawmakers held a press conference Tuesday to discuss its results and to unveil a new fellowship program they hope will increase the number of veterans working on Capitol Hill.
Under the program, veteran fellows will be assigned to a lawmaker's office where they will learn about the legislative process and how to assist constituents in dealing with federal agencies. The fellows will earn a certificate once they complete the program, which lawmakers say could give them an advantage in finding more permanent work.
Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, said he constantly hears lawmakers discuss the need for others to hire more veterans.
"'You've got to hire veterans. Let's hire veterans. This is our duty.' You hear it on the floor a lot," Young said. "When we found out the percentage of veterans on this Hill, I was disgusted."
Young said the small percentage of veterans on Capitol Hill reflects the need for lawmakers to do a better job of outreach. Other lawmakers said it can also be difficult to find veterans who want to work on their staff. Rep. Bill Enyart, a former member of the Air Force and adjutant general of the Illinois National Guard, said many of the workers on congressional staffs are young, often just out of college, and willing to work for low pay. He said many veterans are older, have families and simply need to find jobs that pay better than those on a congressional staff.
"A large part of the problem is frankly, we pay our staffers miserably," said Enyart, D-Ill. "We need to pay these veterans a decent living wage so they can afford to work for us."
Federal agencies generally have a much higher percentage of veterans that work for them. Veterans made up about 29 percent of new hires in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2012.
Among the lawmakers who announced the new veteran fellowship program were Reps. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., and Mike Michaud, D-Maine. Fellowships will be unpaid, but lawmakers were exploring how to provide the veterans with a stipend. Thompson said the fellowships represent a start and are often "where a lot of permanent jobs get started."

This last week we had one of the nicest days yet in the year with temperature in the low 60's so me and my friend Matt decided to take the canoe down the river. Matt only had about two and a half hours to do our small trip,
so we picked out a 2.5-mile stretch of the Mullet River to go down. When we made the decision to do this stretch of the river we knew that it wouldn't take the full two and a half hours for us to take the trip. I knew that my Matt had never been bowfishing before so I thought that it would be a good chance to introduce him to it. So I grabbed my bowfishing bow, and we headed out to the river.
When we got to the river we loaded up the canoe and started out down the river. I had my Matt sit in the front of the canoe with the bow so that he would have the best opportunity for a shot. The river is still high from the snow melt and spring rain which mad it easy for us to navigate the river. When we would get to spots where the river had slower moving water I had Matt stand up and get ready to shoot.
Soon we had the dust trails of carp going everywhere. Matt Started taking shots at the carp with no success, but he was getting excited. Soon all the carp had fled from the area we were in so we continued down the river. Not to far down stream we got into some more but with no success. He was getting closer to hitting them but not close enough.
As we continued down the river we continued to have shooting but had yet to have the arrow make contact with a fish. As we were getting close to our take out point I was start to worry if Matt was going to get one that day. But then it happened the arrow finally made contact with a fish. With the fish fighting at one end of the line and Matt pulling it in from the other end, it was a great time and a great way to end the day.
Shoot Straight,

1963 Jeep Forward Control FC-170 - Pug Nose
Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder
Las Vegas is a symbol of excess, full of glitz and glamour. The annual SEMA Show is no exception. Sure, there are some cool new products, but you have to wade through rows of JKs on 24-inch wheels and hideous paint jobs to find them. Imagine, then, what a breath of fresh air it was to escape the convention center one morning to head out to a dry lake bed with Joe Brown and his immaculate Forward Control.
Brown is a native of Las Vegas, he even works on the Strip, but don't think for a minute that means he has murals of Siegfried and Roy's white tiger on the doors or a bunch of Carrot Top's props in the bed of his '63 FC-170. Joe completed a perfect-quality restoration of his Forward Control that spanned over 15 years. "I would work on it for a year or two and then just lose interest," he shares. "Some guys dump their projects at that point, but after a while I always came back to my Jeep and kept working on finishing it."
Joe purchased his FC-170 from a friend in 1996. "I thought that it was so ugly it was cool," he recalls. Though the body was hacked, the chassis was rust-free after a lifetime in the desert. Additional crossmembers were added and the entire frame was stripped and painted black to serve as a foundation. Joe retained the stock leaf springs, but built custom hangers to provide about eight inches of lift. Dual Rancho RS5000XLs are used at each corner and paint matched to the truck.
Steering is handled by a Spicer manual box that Joe found on an early '70s GM cabover truck in a junkyard. "I found it bolted to a frame sitting on cinder blocks with the arm mounted to it; it was perfect." He modified the FC frame to fit the box and made his own drag link to mate to the push-pull steering arm on the front axle.
Power comes from a 383ci small-block Chevy stroker that makes over 400 horsepower thanks to 10.5:1 TRW pistons swinging on a stroker crank and held in place with four-bolt mains. Old-school iron 2.02 heads and an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold wearing a Holley spread-bore 650 cfm carburetor pull intake duties. Hooker headers and dual 2½-inch Flowmaster mufflers take care of the spent gases while the engine is cooled by a Griffin two-row aluminum radiator that is mounted behind the cab and pulls air through a custom shroud and a puller fan. "You don't want to ride in this thing in Vegas in the summer," Joe reports. "It gets hot." Behind the stroker power is routed to a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a cast iron, gear-driven NP205 transfer case. The transmission is shifted by B&M shifter with reversed cable-output linkage, since the cab is actually in front of the transmission.
The axles came out of a 1-ton Chevy, with a kingpin Dana 60 in the front and a sturdy Corporate 14-bolt in the rear. "I bought these axles because they came with 4.56 gears and I didn't want to mess with the differentials," Joe recalls. "Even though they came out of the same truck I later learned that the rear end had 3.73s for some unexplained reason." After a build of this magnitude regearing differentials seems rather trivial in comparison. The axles are capped by tall-and-skinny Q78 Super Swamper TSLs on forged aluminum Alcoa wheels. Stopping comes from the original master cylinder mounted under the dash. It operates a remote hydraulic cylinder and works in conjunction with a lever-operated slave cylinder and power brake unit that feed the factory calibration block from the 1-ton donor truck that coughed up the axles.
Body & Interior
Spoiler alert: No one makes parts for a Forward Control! That makes the perfect body on Joe's FC-170 all the more impressive. "I had to work with what I had, or make it from scratch," he explains. Freddi and Victor at Nuncio Auto Body laid down the GM Warm Mist metallic green paint and straightened the wrinkled sheetmetal. "They thought I would never get it done, you should have seen the look on their faces the first time I drove up in it finished."
The Forward Control didn't even start as a dually, so after buying the Chevy axles Joe created his own rear fenders. He also built his own custom front and rear bumpers, with the front housing a Warn M8000 winch. The original Koenig side boxes flank the bed and provide lockable storage. The boxes are fitted with numerous button-head screws and CAD plated washers, a theme that continues throughout the vehicle. Powder Coating Plus in Las Vegas color-matched the bumpers, side boxes, and other components to the Forward Control.
Inside, the interior is tidy but sparse, retaining the Forward Control's utilitarian roots. A Chevy steering column turns a Flaming River steering shaft with input from a 14-inch wheel, but Joe says that a 17-inch steering wheel is on the short list of future changes. Behind the wheel the custom metal dash uses white Auto Meter Ultra-Lite gauges to monitor vital signs. The stock seats were recovered by Jim Heptner and mounted on pins that make them easy to remove to access the custom doghouse in the middle of the vehicle that covers the engine and transmission. They are held in place with CJ hood latches, one of the many clever touches.
More custom details include the headliner, with "Jeep" embossed on it, and the diamond plate door panels. Behind the driver door a Perko lockable battery switch controls two Optima Red Top batteries. Dale Hurt wired the FC from scratch and the results look like they are straight out of a race car. "I don't have the patience for stuff like this and I knew Dale would take the time to make it as good as it could be, and it is." Joe reports. Looking at his Forward Control, "lack of patience" is not the first thought that comes to mind.
Good, Bad, and What It's For
Now that it is completed he has taken the FC to car shows and driven around town and it turns heads everywhere he goes. Mopar's "Mighty FC" concept vehicle has reignited interest in Forward Controls from the Jeeping public, and some actually mistake Joe's FC for a new vehicle. That is how nice this thing is. Despite the Super Swampers, he doesn't take it off-road much, but we probably wouldn't either if we had this much time and money tied up in a vehicle.

Why I Wrote This Feature
If you played a drinking game where you had to take a shot every time I said "custom" in this feature, you would be reading this in double. Joe's Forward Control should serve as an inspiration to guys everywhere with projects in their garage. Just because you are building your vehicle yourself, just because you are frustrated or behind schedule, doesn't mean that you should throw in the towel. Take a deep breath and remember that you don't have it nearly as hard as a guy trying to build a Forward Control.

text: Speaking of internet commenters: An eagle-eyed tipster informed us that gossip blog (and repeated Missdemeanor offender), Perez Hilton, has started requiring registration for commenters this week. The tipster wonders if Perez grew "tired of the haters," assuming that Perez ever read the comments, and noted that the comments numbers have decreased dramatically. We put on our "reporter" caps and selected an older blog post at random and compared the comment number to a similar, newer blog post. Final tally? The older post had 165 and the newer one had 88. Definitely a dip! But the commenter threads are still as awful as usual, only now they include avatars. [Perez Hilton]

Broncos' Justin Bannan, former CU Buffs DT, says Embree firing was wrong
Broncos defensive tackle Justin Bannan is always a popular subject for interviews. But this week more than others.
Bannan was accommodating to media requests Wednesday, though he wished it were for other reasons. He played at Colorado (1998-2001) and considers recently fired CU coach Jon Embree a close friend.
"I come from a personal standpoint, but I don't think he got a fair shake," Bannan said. "Coach Embree is a friend. And he found me in high school (Bella Vista HS in Fair Oaks, Calif.). He recruited me.
"He was my first (position) coach at CU. I have a lot of history with him. I go way back with the guy. I know who he is and what he's about.
"Personally, two years is not enough time for any coach. That's my personal thought. I think his firing was wrong."

Allan joined Abbey Road studios in 1972 and during his time there made an invaluable contribution towards preserving the music and legacy of The Beatles. He worked on all the releases with extraordinary dedication and loyalty. We will also miss his acerbic wit that was actually part of his charm. Allan did not suffer fools gladly but once you earned his respect he could not have been more co-operative and helpful. Allan was a true friend of the band and of everyone at Apple, and will be remembered with great affection by those of us who were lucky enough to spend time working with him.

Who said that a little girl's room must be pink?!
This girl wanted a blue room and she got it... and it's not less feminine because of it.
With a sweet romantic and vintage atmosphere, this room is full of great ideas to anyone looking for inspiration on how to decorate a girl's bedroom.
All the furniture is painted white, creating a neutral base that will hardly need any changing as the child grows up.
Blue tape on the white painted floor makes for a fun and imaginative area rug.
Pillows are always a great idea. They can transform a bed into a cosy and inviting sofa during playtime. And just by changing their covers you can have a completely different styled room.
The walls come as a perfect canvas to reflect one's imagination.
The wall board next to the work desk is made of a patchwork of various fabrics and patterns. And a collection of different frames, painted in different shades of blue are perfect to keep the little one's works of art and all sorts of personal mementos.

NBC broadcaster Bob Costas advocates for gun control in halftime speech
Costas quotes Jason Whitlock article on 'Sunday Night Football'
NBC broadcaster Bob Costas used his halftime segment on "Sunday Night Football" to advocate for gun control following this weekend's murder-suicide involving Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, causing an immediate debate on social media.
In a segment about 90 seconds long, Costas paraphrased and quoted extensively from a piece by Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock.
"In the aftermath of the nearly unfathomable events in KC, that most mindless of sports cliches was heard yet again: Something like this really puts it all in perspective … You want some actual perspective on this? Well a bit of it comes from the Kansas City-based writer Jason Whitlock, with whom I do not always agree, but who today said it so well that we may as well just quote or paraphrase from the end of his article. 'Our current gun culture," Whitlock wrote, 'ensures that more and more domestic disputes will end in the ultimate tragedy, and that more convenience store confrontations over loud music coming from a car will leave more teenage boys bloodied and dead. Handguns do not enhance our safety. They exacerbate our flaws, tempt us to escalate arguments, and bait us into embracing confrontation rather than avoiding it. … If Jovan Belcher didn't possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would still be alive today."
Belcher shot and killed Perkins, the mother of his 3-month-old daughter, on Saturday morning, then drove to Arrowhead Stadium and committed suicide in the parking lot of the team's practice facility.
The online reaction to Costas' segment was swift, with many people criticizing the broadcaster for expressing his personal views on a program meant for entertainment.

Struggling to find the best buy-to-let mortgage in Newport? speak to one of our buy to let mortgage advisers today
The term 'buy to let' generally refers to either the practice of buying a property to be let for profit or to the type of mortgages used to purchase a property for such letting. Many countries, both in the western world and in the developing nations, have seen a surge in the growth of the buy to let property market in the last 2 decades and this has fuelled a growth in amateur landlords and the but to let mortgage providers who are keen to encourage and profit from them in turn. In addition, this growth has generated a lot of commerce in other related sectors such as buy to let insurance.
What Is The Best Way To Work Out Rental Demand and Supply?
Many countries, both in the western world and in the developing nations, have seen a surge in the growth of the buy to let property market in Newport the last 2 decades and this has fuelled a growth in amateur landlords looking for quality mortgage advice, this is why mortgage brokers in Newport who specialise in Buy-to-let are so important and the but to let mortgage providers who are keen to encourage and profit from them in turn. In addition, this growth has generated a lot of commerce in other related sectors such as buy to let insurance.
Newport Buy to let mortgages have been available in the UK since the mid-nineties and they are specifically designed for investors to borrow money to purchase property in the private rental sector. The amount that a prospective but to let investor can borrow is generally determined by the rental valuation of the property. The annual income for a rented property has to cover a certain percentage of the mortgage repayments, the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) states that landlords should seek to be able to obtain gross rent returns equivalent to between 130 per cent and 150 per cent of the rental property's mortgage repayments, this takes into account the surplus rent to cover costs of property maintenance and slack periods when the property may be vacant of tenants.
Newport Buy To Let Mortgages.
Some buy to let mortgage lenders in Newport will lend you a maximum sum based on a multiple of your salary (usually a multiple of three) plus a percentage of the forecast rental income on the property. So if your annual salary is said 30,000 Franks and the forecast rental income is 10,000 Franks they will lend you 95,000 Franks. Other mortgages, in addition to factoring in your salary, will include any existing loan commitments you have, and then apply what is known as the 'deduction rule'. This rule relates to the annual mortgage payments worked out at a pre-set level of interest.
Buy to let mortgage interest rates are generally fairly close to residential mortgage rates but will generally be slightly higher and typically charge higher fees. This is due to the fact that buy to let loans are considered by the financial sector to represent a greater risk than residential owner-occupier mortgages, and they generally are.
The Situation in the UK About Buy To Lets
The buy to let market literally 'exploded' in the Newport around the beginning of the millennium with rising property prices and the increasing availability of buy to let funding fueling a surge in would-be investors trying to cash in on the trend of the market. One reason for their popularity is the tax advantages that are available to the UK buy to let investors. Rental income is treated just like a salary by the Inland Revenue, and is therefore often taxed at 22% or even 40%. However, landlords are allowed to deduct costs from the taxable portion of their rental income, and these costs can include the interest of the buy to let mortgage repayments as well as maintenance costs on the property. These tax incentives made the buy to let market very attractive for both professional investors and amateurs looking to make the most out of their savings.
Would-Be Buy-to-let Investors
The market peaked around 2007 and now the market is saturated in many areas across the country with too many properties available to tenants. While buy to let is generally not a good idea for people who do not possess some extra budget there are a lot of remortgage deals which will fund a deposit for a home. If you are worried about losing money during void periods many companies will provide insurance which can deliver as much as six months mortgage payments in the event of a property in Newport remaining unoccupied.
You may still be lucky, and find a hotspot but you need to do your homework and the figures correctly. Buy to let trends differ from town to town and literally from street to street. Good advice for potential investors is to visit the local letting agents who should be able to tell you who is renting what at the moment so you can define your target audience. It could be students, young professionals or families, for example. Look for areas that do have a shortage of properties and for indicators that people will move there, such as new business developments.
Buy to let mortgage deals are still rife and the rates are almost as competitive as with conventional deals. The mantra with your buy-to-let must be 'don't expect to get rich quickly'. You need to look long-term: an absolute minimum of five years – but probably nearer to ten years.
Hi I'm James Hill from The Locks Heath Property Blog and this is my Buy to Let Deal of the Week.
Now here I am in Lawson Close in Lower Swanwick where Walker & Waterer have just listed a three bedroom terraced house for offers in excess of £240,000.
Now it looks in really good condition with very little to do in order to get your first tenant.
As you can see from the photos it's got a recently refitted kitchen, a nice modern bathroom and what looks like recently fitted carpets throughout.
In today's rental market this property would rent out around £950 per calendar month.
If we times that rent by twelve to give us the annual rent and divide that by the asking price, in this instance £240,000, it gives us a nice healthy yield of 4.
As I said, this is a really good opportunity to snap this property up so get in touch with the guys at Walker and Waterer and they'll be happy to show you around.
If you want any further information about the Locks Heath property market give me a call on 01489 570011.
I'll see you soon.
How To Start A Buy To Let Investment Property Business Or Portfolio | Your First Four Houses
hi there this is Emma from Martin & Co Estate agents here I've got my midweek buy-to-let deal of the day for you to have a little look at so the one I picked up with you today is a two-bedroom modern apartment on duty around in chelmsford now this one is modern.
Goodier Road is a very good location in Chelmsford you're walking distance to Centre, train station and all the shops that Chelmsford has an offer and the property is in very good condition quite neutral decor which is good and allocated parking as well which is by most especially being this close to the city centre where parking is always a premium and so we know this property is a good-looking property, it takes a lot of boxes on that front just come on the market with property street and it has an asking price of £249995 so price-wise it's pretty competitive with similarities in the area and and if we have a look at rental potential now and potentially you're going to be looking around about the 900 pounds a month mark.
We rented one very similar to this in the area, maybe this individual block for £900 and so that's a pretty good indication of an accurate figure for you.
Now we do a little yield calculation and the £900 rent against our asking price of 249995 and that could potentially generate you an annual return 4.
3 percent so it's a pretty good return also of course that isn't taking into account the service charges or ground rent but of course you know we All in all the figures do seem to stack up if this property is of interest to you better get in touch with the agent who is advertising it, Property Street to book yourself a viewing because properties are flying off the shelves like hot cakes at the moment so you don't be missing out thanks for checking in and I'll speak to you all in a couple days with my next buy to let deal of the day.

Nearly coming to an end for this little series of mine!
Today I wanted to give a little thought about how I'd like my 2016 to be in a more intense sense, or better from the inside, from the side of meditation and feeling good. This little painting is supposed to be a crystal, by the way haha
I started meditating in 2015 and I slowly learned (it took a while) that meditating doesn't just mean sitting somewhere and not thinking of anything.. so many things can be called meditation! For example, even just painting with a little bit of relaxing music could become meditation, if you enjoy every moment of it and let all your deeper thoughts fly away. Attention, little disclaimer, meditation IS NOT HIPPIE, if you're one of those people who think even that being hippie is something horrible. Meditation is the only way of living in peace with your surrounding and with your self, first of all. It helps you go on everyday, it helps you live in a more open-minded way and see things from different prospectives.
You know that effect that alcool or a drug could give you? Meditate for at least 5 minutes a day and come tell me how it feels.. you'll get higher than the airplanes and without hurting yourself haha
By the way, what I wanted to say is that I want to get more into meditation, and even tho I often make yoga too, I want to get better in that too. I want to prevent myself from negativity and heal my soul and body with it, little by little, everyday.
Whats with crystals then? They are a big part of it, which I still need to discover, so let's take some time this year to get more into them too!
Tomorrow is the last day before 2016 begins, are you scared or excited?
See you tomorrow!!

If you followed me a little while ago, this has been in my head as something I felt the need to do, or better buying fresh flowers at least once a week.
Having fresh flowers in your home just changes everything: I often change apartment in Berlin and sometimes I need to get one in a short period of time, so the result of my researches maybe its not the best and I don't feel 100% comfortable in it. But as soon as I start making everything more in my style, changing places to furnitures and having my clothes around included, then I can be everywhere and I'd feel good, because one good thing I have (among many other annoying ones maybe haha) is that I can often create my own little space even out of the shittiest shit.
But you need to know, one thing that makes every kind of place better instantly are fresh flowers!
I feel like this "new years resolutions" are often just "life resolutions", in an updated version, because we change anyways every year, and so do our interests.
What I'd like to do, that I never always remember to do, is fixing a particular day per week in which I'll buy flowers to make the room a hundred times more filled with positive energy!
My favorite flowers of all times are those huge white daisies (that unfortunately day can die too soon) that give nearly a sensation of clean space around you... and they're so delicate and never "too much" (not that flowers can be too much, but sometimes it just depends).
Another flower I love is Orchids, but this is the fault of my mother, because she loves them too and she basically transmitted me this love haha
So this was my number three, I hope this mini series is not too boring for you and that you'll read tomorrow's one too! :)
Have a nice day.

If you follow me on Instagram (if not, hi, my name there is always @pollyalba), you might know that I basically decided to make me a little present, buying myself some beautiful watercolors, new painter brushes and a thick paper.. thick enough to resist to either my imagination fails or enjoyable results.
I had then this idea to make 5 small paintings for each day that divides us from 2016, representing everyday one resolution for the new upcoming year, which I'm really excited for, and learning how to paint at the same time!

I just decided to put in a post some of the photos I took around Italy during this month, which is now coming to an ending.
I have lived for more than 14 years in the centre of Italy, but I then went to live in Berlin one year and a half ago, so anytime I come, I kinda have the feeling of being for a half like a tourist here.. weird, I know!
So this Gallery of photos is a mix between Florence, Perugia, Rome and Assisi, put together without a real order. Let me know if you've visited one of these and hope you enjoy them :)

December is been a month full of travels since I went out of Berlin for the holidays, and before every flight or train trip, I tend to take a lot of time to choose the music I'll bring with me.
I usually have three methods to select some good songs:
◉ If I recently liked one or two songs of a particular band or artist, I'll just download the whole discography and discover if I like the rest I didn't listen to with calm in my flight/train trip.
◉ If I don't have any idea I just let Spotify decide for me! haha
◉ I tend to choose, in case of flight, psychedelic kind of bands, because that's what I feel it fits the best with the sights of clouds and skies from the airplane.
So.. what was my favorite music in this period?!
Some friends of mine introduced me to this band and I felt such a good energy from
their songs that I still can't stop listening to them. My favorite song has to be "Budding Tree", maybe because of the deep connection I found to have with Nature and the words of the songs that just describes that particular connection. Also, the official video is just made by followers of this band and it literally fills you up with feelings of love and freedom!
To see the video: Budding Tree - Nahko and Medicine for the People
This song from Tame Impala is something you'd expect to hear constantly running on the radio, for how catchy it is.. but fortunately the mainstream music industry still didn't touch it 8)
Maybe I wouldn't watch the video because it's too strange for my little brain, but instead go to listen also to "Love Paranoia"!
If you have some money to spend in something cool and you live close to or in Berlin, I suggest to take a ticket for their concert in Columbiahalle on the 8th of February.
To listen to the songs: "The less I know the Better" & "Love Paranoia"
The song I've been listening to a lot is Kamikaze.. such a good idea from her to give this name to the song in this period! haha
But apart from that, the song is simply fun to listen to and it gives you nearly some summer vibes, that here in Italy since it's not THAT cold are perfect. It also always put me in the dance mood, and I often get ready with it!
I actually discovered MØ more than two years ago in the worst timing ever, while I was having my finals (more precisely the night before), and at a certain point I started to have more her songs in my mind than the things I was supposed to study haha
To listen to what I mostly like of her: "Kamikaze", "Slow Love", "Walk This Way"
I saved the best for last!
I would say that this goes defenetly out of my comfort zone when it's about music, but what is the "comfort zone" when we're talking about music? Everything that gives you good feelings it's just perfect.
This band is called Yellow Monkey, directly from the 90s, and this song is taken from an anime.. I am so hyped to know how to play this song and I wouldn't mind making a cover of it, even tho my japanese knowledge is basically nonexistent! But why not..
To listen to it on repeat as I am doing at the moment: "Tactics"
Please let me know if you like one of the songs/artists I just listed, and I'm coming soon with a photo gallery kind of post for you guys!
Hope you have a nice day..

Top: LightInTheBox *
Skirt: LightInTheBox *
Tights: H&M
Bag: AsianIcandy
Boots: Little Local shop
After more than a month I finally show up again on the blog world! My problem is actually my bad relationship with technology: my laptop left me one month ago and my phone wasn't usable until last week.. But I'll soon have a decent laptop and HOPEFULLY I'll then be able to write with good timing on my little lovely blog.
This combination is something I'm in love with as soon as it came home. I've always wanted that kind of skirt since I defenetly can't afford an American Apparel one 8) my only problem has always been that the ones I've found were not high waisted or not long enough!
So when I cam back home one day and saw what the delivery man left for me, I was totally happy and couldn't wait to try it. The quality it's reeeeally good and the color is a perfect option, instead of a black basic one. And the top.. don't ask why pink, but I recently got in love with light pink of all kinds!
Oh and.. did you see the hair? haha Just a little big change.. big because it's totally different from before, but little because I took that decision already two months ago so I was pretty much ready to see me this way. Also, everything can fit perfectly as soon as you feel comfortable in it, that's my main phrase :D
I have an airplane for my "first homeland", and I'll make a lot of photos for a future blog, in one week <3 nbsp="">3>
Hope to see you again here!

Today I decided to share the result of my recent researches, James R. Eads.
I'm am a huuuge art lover, even if I am usually not so much into modern art.. but Eads is really connected to Van Gogh, and he describes so well the connection between Nature and Humans, so I just ended up loving his art immediately.
I like trying to find secrets between beautiful works of art and then maybe read about who made them, and understand better the emotions between them.

This artist of our days had the power to put in front of our eyes something that could come out of our minds maybe during a deep meditation or a gorgeous long dream.
I'd like to create something like this maybe once a month and share with you guys what captured my attention. Now I let you to the real magic :)

I made a post about my favourite youtubers around one year ago, if I remember well, but my interests and passions changed A LOT during this time period, so here's an updated version!
I don't remember exactly which youtubers were involved in my old post, but I believe just one or two will be repeated and continue to be my "go to" when I chill and watch videos around youtube.

It's weekend, and you are probably charging up from the intense week and not really thinking of dressing up at the moment.. but let's just get inspired even just by looking at all these beautiful women and styles.
The key words are in the title, but I'll add that I am in love with the style of Natalie Suarez recently! She is the blogger of Natalie Off Duty, and she really got me with her chill style, that still remains classy and elegant. I guess is the air of Berlin that brings me too to those vibes, and maybe one day my wardrobe will really represent me!
Until that day, I hope you're enjoying your weekend and I let you to the photos!

It took me long to arrive to say that pants can be part of one of my "comfortable looks", but here I am at 21 years old saying it, after years of dresses and skirts haha
Denim Jacket: Vintage
Top: Tally Weijl
Pants: H&M
Black hoodie: Thrifted
Boots: H&M
There was an awesome light the day I shot this look, really happy with how it turned out!
Again a simple outfit, I wore it already three times last week (sometimes making it even more comfortable changing the shoes with some trainers).
I don't own so many hoodies, and the one in the photos is a thrifted one from my boyfriend, so I am really thinking of getting a bunch of them! I love the combination with the denim jacket, they are a good city kind of look, or "it's early morning, i don't have make up on and I'm not ready to socialize" look, so they'll be perfect for autumn.
I am thinking of making an update of an old post I once made, about my favourite youtubers! Youtube became sooo entertaining for me this year, expecially because I am choosing the right people to watch and I both learn something and have fun thanks to my subscriptions. But anyways,
hooope your week is going well!

This is a photo-blog post version of what I did yesterday, which was basically a chill day with my boyfriend. I would love to make vlogs, but I can't really use youtube at the moment (my computer is old, my camera so huge to make video outside..), but I probably will one day :D
So after I wake up in the morning, maybe after drinking water and eating something, I love to make some exercises. I usually make workouts nearly everyday and most of the times concentrtated on the legs, because it takes so much effort for me to keep them healthy-looking, if it makes sense haha
I usually gain weight on the legs, let's put it this way.. but of course I enjoy working out and suggest it to everybody, if I don't do it in the morning then I make 15-20 mins around an hour before going to sleep.
While walking around the sunny Berlin, we went to buy some grocery, and we found THIS. Litterally, the most cheesy vegan thing ever! If you come to/live in Berlin, we bought it in the supermaket in Zoologischer Garten, right in front of the station.
I am always so happy to find vegan alternatives to cheese: I adore cheese, but of course I know it's not good for the animals and for us, since is really fat and not supposed to be for humans. So even if I'm not 100% vegan, I always try for the 90% of the times to stay without any dairy or egg.
The weather was so beautiful that we decided to spend some time in the Nature, in Tiergarten, my favourite place. I actually live close to it, so I should always push myself to go there more often, because I never regret it in the end.
We then ended up playing some billiard and drinking our favourite alternative to Coca Cola, that I only found here in Germany! All this usually happens in the early afternoon because there are less people (and less people who really know to play it good haha)! I can manage to play well just if I'm fully concentrated.
That chilly pretty day ended with the sight of the pretty Berlin in the evening. It's already so chilly and summer it's defenetly gone, but those sunny days still make me feel the freedom of the summer days! I can't wait for the real autumn to come :)
Hope it wasn't too boring..
Next post will be an outfit post!
