BUCHAREST (Romania), June 19 (SeeNews) – The shares of Romanian induction heating systems manufacturer AAGES [BSE: AAG] started trading on the main segment of the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) on Monday, bourse data indicated.
AAGES shareholders raised 5.49 million lei ($1.33 million /1.29 million euro) from the sale of 15% of the company's shares after listing on the Romanian capital market, BVB said in a press release.
"Our company has reached maturity, and we no longer need to invest a lot from our profit in development and we are able to allow a considerable part of the profit to be distributed as dividend," AAGES CEO Gabor Molnar said.
The offer for the sale of 1.5 million company shares closed at 3.7 lei per share. At this price, the company's capitalization exceeds 37 million lei.
"Everything that AAGES does is designed and built here, locally. 'Made in Romania' is more than just a label, it is a phenomenon showing that Romanian businesses have the ability to create quality products and services that can gain more value and recognition through the capital market," BVB CEO Ludwik Sobolewski said.
AAGES, an acronym for Association for the Application of Static Generators, was founded 26 years ago by ten Romanian researchers. The company is headquartered in Sangeorgiu de Mures, near Targu Mures in central Romania. Currently, the company has over 140 employees, generates a turnover of over 5 million lei and exports over 70% of its production.
The company's main shareholder is AAGES Headinvest, which owns 54.99% of the capital and Molnar Gabor Jozsef with 10.55%. The rest of 34.46% is on a free float on the BVB.
AAGES shares were trading at 3.83 lei on Monday at 1533 CET on the BVB.

Living in a Society
Most of us live in anxiety
Worried about who's back biting
Or interfering when others are fighting
Jealousy strikes when the other is doing well
Few relatives always casting an evil spell
Digging information to aimlessly talk
Their favourite pastime is somebody to mock
Envious if one`s got the latest car
Gossip is like an untuned Guitar
No words of praise for those who make it
But waiting for an opportunity, like when two split
A person is worthy only after he/she dies
Truth in all does suddenly arise
If only people in Society
Would lead their lives in piety
Controlling their tongues and mind
Leaving grudges and hatred behind
Societies all over the world would flourish
If each other with compassion nourish
But in vain
People cannot from negativity abstain
Putting someone down gives them some cheap thrill
Instead of helping those who are in dire straits of rill
It's such a pity!
But my faith in AMMA has guided me
To stay away from such things
For indulgence bad Karma it brings
Distancing myself, I pray for all
Let the Divine in Society someday install
Devotion, Love & Kindness in every heart
So Societies wont fall apart!

New post on 412 Teens: If I was created for God's own glory, does He even care about me?
New post on 412 Teens: If I was created for God's own glory, does He even care about me?
New 412 teens article up.
I was working on a post for 412teens on God's love and came across this verse:
"But God demonstrated His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
I remember the first time the full weight of that verse hit me. I was at school, I don't remember which class, what year, I do have a clear visual memory of seeing it on the page. How mind blowing is this little statement? How fully and completely unearned is that love? I hope this fact never loses it's amazingness to me. So much of culture tells us to earn love, to be a little more a little better….but God's love isn't dependent on you being more. You are enough. Each person comes to Christ as in need of a savior as the next.

The turnip, and not the pumpkin, may have been the original symbol of Halloween.
The turnip, and not the pumpkin, may have been the original symbol of Halloween.
The history of how the ancient pagan holiday evolved into the door-to-door tradition of collecting Snickers and M&Ms will be part of a Museums of Old York after-school pumpkin carving event from 3 to 5 p.m. today, Wednesday, Oct. 28, at the Remick Barn Visitor Center.
"It's also to inform kids of the history of the Halloween. I like to throw history into it," said Education Coordinator Zoe Keefer-Norris.
Families may call for reservations or just show up, but they should bring their own pumpkin. Keefer-Norris is providing the tools, newspaper and cleanup services for the gutted mess. Not all of it will go to waste. Keefer-Norris and Historical Interpreter Sue Spicer will pick out the pumpkin seeds to roast over the open hearth fire in the activity room where the event is being held.
The suggested donation is $5.
While carving, students can munch on pumpkin seeds and hear tales of Halloween past. They'll learn how the jack-o-latern came to symbolize the light in the darkness on All Hallows Eve.
Halloween is thought to derive from the Celtic tradition of the holiday Samhain, or "summer's end," said Keefer-Norris, who has been reading up on its history. The celebration of the harvest and the beckoning of winter's darkness also had aspects in the festival of the dead. The Catholic Church may have deliberately associated the festival with All Souls Day, a remembrance of those who have died, and All Saints Day, which is celebrated on Nov. 1 in some parts of the world, to convert pagans to Christianity.
On All Souls Day, people exchanged baked goods for a prayer for a soul in purgatory. People would go house to house, said Keefer-Norris, holding carved-out turnips with candles, to collect not only baked goods from the rich, but also clothing and alms.
Old Souls Day was also a time when ghosts were believed to roam, she said. People would dress in costume to masquerade through cemeteries. Catholic churches would ring bells all night to keep away the ghosts.
"Halloween was always bonfires, mischief and pranks," she said. "It was a welcoming of the darkness. The masquerading and bonfires continued and mingled with haunted houses, ghosts and ghouls."
This is the first year for the pumpkin carving event. As of Thursday, Oct. 22, a dozen students had signed up. For information, or for reservations, call 363-4974 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

In this post, we describe some common brake problems. These problems can include general brake noise, grinding noises when putting your foot on the pedal, and other issues. Contact us at Hansma Automotive if you require brake work or any other type of car repair. Most repairs can be accomplished in only a few hours.
Call or Text: 519-748-5533
Most car noises are an indication that something is not working as it should. Noises that emanate from the brakes are no exception. If you hear a squealing, grinding or squealing noise, your brakes may be trying to tell you something. Here are some of the possibilities.
Squealing Noise
A squealing noise can often occur when the brakes are wet or even damp with dew first thing in the morning. Listen carefully to the sound; if it goes away after a few moments, that is probably the issue. However, if the noise continues, it is more likely that your brake pads are wearing out. Brakes are designed to begin to squeal when the pads are nearing the end of their life. If you are unsure if the noise is moisture or brakes nearing the end of their usefulness, simply book an appointment with us, and we will be happy to check out your vehicle.
Grinding, Metal on Metal Noise
If you hear a grinding noise that sounds like metal on metal, it is likely that your brake pads have worn down and you need to take action immediately. Failure to act may mean that you will cause further damage to your vehicle, increasing the likelihood of costly repairs. At Hansma Automotive, we have years of experience with brake repairs. Read about some of the brake repairs we carry out.
Vibration And A Pulsing Feeling When Braking
When you experience this sensation, then your brakes probably need rotor work. It may be that the rotors are warped due to lack of attention. Don't delay in dealing with this issue or you may experience costly repairs.
Putting Your Foot On The Pedal Without Effect
If you find that you are having to press the brake pedal further to the floor than normal, it is likely that you are in the early stages of brake pad wear. This is a good time to bring the vehicle in for a brake inspection as it may help prevent costly brake rotor damage down the road.
"Great service is providing the service that you need. If you have an older vehicle you can not only count on Pete and his mechanics to help you get the most out of it, but also to inform you as to when it is no longer worth keeping." - Greg
Prevent Brake Problems
To prevent sudden, unexpected brake problems, bring us your vehicle for a brake inspection. We will check:
- Pads and shoes for wear
- Drums and rotors for wear
- Wheel cylinders and calipers
- Hydraulic lines and hoses
- Master cylinder fluid levels
Hansma Automotive is located at 88 Shoemaker Street in Kitchener, Ontario. Our friendly and experienced staff are known for their exceptional customer service skills as well as technical ability. Click here to to learn more about our Kitchener area brake repairs.

Invisalign & Clear Aligners in Sarasota, FL
People tend to associate orthodontics with the awkward, teenage years, but the truth is that it's never too late to have an attractive, healthy smile. Traditional braces aren't necessary for many of the alignment problems that adults face. Since the focus tends to be on straightening the teeth that show when your smile, your options will be faster, less costly, and more subtle than you might expect.
Sarasota dentist Dr. Kaya Aygen is certified in both Invisalign and Clear Aligners – two orthodontic treatment options that straighten your teeth safely and fairly quickly. Both of these options are perfect for the adults who doesn't want to mar their professional or mature image with traditional metal braces.
Are either of these innovative orthodontic techniques right for you?
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses translucent plastic aligners to nudge your teeth into a more appropriate position. When the aligners are in place on your teeth, most people won't even be able to see them, which is why many refer to this treatment as "invisible braces."
Invisalign is worn around the clock but removed for eating, drinking hot liquids, and oral hygiene. This gives Invisalign a number of advantages over traditional orthodontics. You don't have to limit the types of foods you can enjoy, and you don't have to worry about brushing and flossing around brackets and wires.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear Aligners uses tooth-colored brackets and wires to quickly straighten the teeth that show when you smile. On average, treatment time with Clear Aligners takes about six months! This makes Clear Aligners one of the fastest orthodontic treatment options around – a great choice if you have a special occasion coming up that you want to look your best for.
Why Should You Straighten Your Teeth?
Teeth that are too tightly crowded, twisted, or overlapping can actually increase your risk for decay and gum disease. This is because it's harder for your toothbrush and floss to reach these areas, which means that food particles remain on your enamel for longer and plaque can form and stay put in between cleanings. If you can't floss properly, plaque can build up beneath the gum line and create a place for bacteria to thrive. Even gaps between teeth can create a problem since food can get trapped between your teeth and lead to bad breath and other problems.
The best way to find out if these treatments can help you improve the health and appearance of your smile is to contact Sarasota Dental Arts and schedule a consultation with Dr. Kaya Aygen. Dr. Aygen will examine your teeth, discuss your concerns, and listen to your goals. He'll provide the recommendation that he believes will give you the best results.
Snowbirds are always welcome at our Sarasota dental office! Since your treatment time may extend the length of your stay in Sarasota, we are happy to coordinate care with your dentist in your hometown so that you don't experience any gaps in treatment. Let us know if this applies to you so that we can contact your dentist and create a treatment plan.
We're looking forward to seeing your smile! Give us a call today to get your appointment with Dr. Aygen!

In an attempt to one-up its competition, Net directory InfoSpace today announced that it will start offering real-time stock quotes for free.
Although many services, such as Yahoo and Excite, offer free stock quotes, they are mostly delayed. Netizens who want up-to-the-second stock information generally have to pay a subscription fee.
In the fight to be the home page for as many Netizens as possible, companies have been playing a high-stakes poker game, continually upping the ante with features such as free email, personalization, and community.
Naveen Jain, president and chief executive of InfoSpace, calls these extras "sticky features," meaning they are offered to get users to visit often and stay as long as possible.
The companies that win the battle for the home page--and most analysts suggest that there will be only a handful of leaders--will be able to use their market share to charge advertisers big bucks.
But the stakes just keep getting higher. Sites must continually offer more freebies--such as free email, which was once considered a value-add--just to stay in the game.
InfoSpace throwing free real-time stock quotes on the table raises the bar yet again.
Next week, InfoSpace will add free email and free space for personal Web pages--features that many other sites already offer.
Jain said that even if other sites match InfoSpace's free-quotes offer, InfoSpace will be in a leadership position because it was the first in its market to do so.
"The people who launched first, like [free email provider] Hotmail, they have 12 million members," he said. "Just the fact that you're first in the market, you build a tremendous lead. Being first is important. Being always on your toes is important."
Jain is hoping people will come to InfoSpace for the quotes and be drawn in by its other financial offerings.
Netizens are increasingly turning to the Internet for their personal finance fixes and companies are falling all over themselves trying to develop the best and, ultimately, the most lucrative sites.
For instance, today Bloomberg and Women.com struck a deal to launch the Money Channel on Women's Wire, the most established site for women on the Net.
The deal is aimed at tapping into the female market interested in finance.
Also today, America Online announced a deal to have Intuit provide finance content to the Personal Finance Web Channel on AOL.com. The company also will contribute to AOL's proprietary service, especially in the tax, mortgage, and insurance categories.

Around this time last year, I found myself sitting in the waiting room of an Ob/Gyn just a few days before Mother's Day. I was simply there for a routine check-up, which I'd put off for years. I wasn't in a "season of waiting" at the time, but I was surprised at how quickly the memories came back to me. Those old familiar feelings of wondering and waiting--of years with no answers; of not knowing how to plan for the future. I remembered how it hurt to wait and to receive disappointment in place of promising expectation. I pulled my phone out that day and wrote this note to myself:
"Being in this waiting room reminds me of my journey to my children: full of twists and turns; broken pieces that God made beautiful. There is a soft spot that is buried down really deep. I didn't know that it was still there...I think God wants me to remember and to reach out. Motherhood is not a given, it is a gift. Maybe one day I'll be an old lady and still have that soft spot. I hope so, so that I can reach out to others and encourage them. I don't ever want to forget."
Now, I am no expert at the waiting game--honestly, I am still not very good at it. But I do have some experience with waiting (you can read more about that part of my story here and here), and there are some things I have learned that I feel are worth sharing:
#1 Embrace what you have while you wait.
There will always be a "next thing" you are waiting for. You will miss out on the blessings that are right in front of you if you let the waiting and the "next thing" consume you. Be thankful. Keep a "grateful" journal and write down something you are grateful for each day. Don't get so focused on what you are waiting for that you forget to appreciate what you have while you wait.
#2 Accept the journey.
There is really nothing enjoyable about waiting. I will not try to glorify it or make it sound fun. Waiting is often accompanied by anxiety, worry, and often, disappointment. But I learned that waiting is not just a means to an end. You will grow roots there. You will learn patience and you will grow stronger. You will emerge a different person, more prepared to receive that very thing you've been waiting for. The wait will change you, whether you want it to or not, and I believe it is always for the better.
#3 Stay openminded.
When the doors closed on our 2nd adoption process, we set up a meeting with a friend of ours who works as an advocate for foster care and adoption. We shared our story and our hopes for our family with him, and then he shared several options with us. As he shared each option, it became more and more clear that, for one reason or another, none of the options would work for our family. Discouraged, we expressed our concerns to him. What he said next stuck with me.
He thought for a moment, leaned back in his chair and said, slowly, "Well....there are processes in place. And if none of those work for you...then God is either going to change your circumstances, or change your heart."
I didn't know exactly what he meant in that moment, but he was right.
Although we didn't realize it at the time, there were a lot of deep-seated fears keeping us from entertaining some of the options he laid out for us that day.
- We were concerned about the financial piece (we'd used up most of our savings and had a pretty small budget we needed to stick to).
- We were afraid of choosing the wrong agency/path (the last agency had turned into a 4 year wait and resulted in a closed program). What if that happened again?
- We were afraid of having a huge age gap between our two children. Would they actually play together and bond? How would all of this affect our oldest son?
While we would have described ourselves as "open" to whatever God had planned for our family, we were open to things happening in a very specific way: our way.
I have a pretty bad habit of praying for things and then quickly looking around at my circumstances and mapping out my own plan according to what seems most practical and realistic. The truth is that what you truly want and need may look differently than you think. When I finally opened my heart up to new possibilities I hadn't previously considered, those circumstances (aka my fears) no longer mattered, as everything fell right into place. As I have come to often say, God writes the best stories.
#4 Accept that there are some things in life that you cannot control.
This is perhaps one of the hardest things to do, but the truth is, if you were in control, you probably wouldn't be waiting in the first place. For me, finally realizing that I was not in control gave me relief. For years, I analyzed every little thing I did. Every decision was painful as I feared that making the wrong choice could cost me any hope I had of becoming a mom. It took years for me to learn that I could trust God, and to give Him control. The incredible thing about that is that it also means that you have someone working on your behalf that knows more than you do. I used to think I was going to "mess up" God's plan. It brings me comfort to know that God's faithfulness to me doesn't depend on my own faithfulness to Him.
If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself. - 2 Timothy 2:13
Wherever you are in your journey--I pray that these things I learned along the way hold true for you as well.

Ok, so you'd like to get to know a little more about me, huh? 🙂 I just got married May 2015 to the love of my life and in our world faith & family are first! I am so thankful and blessed that God has brought this man into my life! He has completely restored my faith in love. He is our family's rock and faith foundation. He prays with us and for us and does everything he can to bring us closer to God. God really does have a plan and "special someone" for everyone, you just have to be patient and wait on His timing! My husband has two beautiful children whom I will always love and protect as my own. They have huge hearts, love God, love to learn and love to be silly. My life would not be complete without them <3
My husband recently asked me why I love blogging so much and at first I wasn't quite sure how to answer. Then I thought about a blogging event that I attended in Tampa and was able to share this story with him ~
"I attended the SmartMom Road Solutions blogging event being broadcast live via video feed and hosted by the very talented Maria Bailey of Mom Select. As we were going around the room introducing ourselves to the blogosphere, I was stopped mid-introduction as soon as she heard my blog name. She then proceeded to tell me that someone had told her about how much my blog had helped her military family save money thru some tough times." I was flabbergasted! I didn't even know anyone really paid attention to what I wrote. The story that was shared with me that day has touched my life and heart forever!
I blog because I may be able to help one more family. I may never know whose life I've been able to touch, but the chance that I might be able to is enough to keep me going. To this day I don't know who it was that shared their story with Maria, but to you I say "Thank you!" Thank you for sharing your story, because it keeps me going and makes all the headaches and up's and down of internet life worth it!
Where is Frugal Southern Living going in the future? I originally started this blog as a coupon and money saving website, but knowing that I have the ability to be heard and the opportunity to touch families hearts and lives, I am going to use Frugal Southern Living as my ministry. You will still see your awesome coupon deals and giveaways, but now you'll see it mixed in with other blog posts on faith, family, fitness, recipes, crafts, travel and anything else that may come to mind!
My #1 goal is to increase my subscriber base by 2017, so if you think its great ~ feel free to share with your friends and family! The more people that read and subscribe to my blog ~ the bigger and better opportunities that I can bring you! I do this all for you, but I need your help to get there!

How Do We Shake The Idea That Worn-Out Clothes Are Garbage? [Magnifeco Radio]
Elizabeth Cline was recently a guest on Magnifeco Radio, a podcast series of frank and intimate conversations with sustainable fashion leaders hosted by Kate Black, author and founder of magnifeco.com. With the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and Stella McCartney teaming up on a groundbreaking new circular fashion study, "Redesigning Fashion's Future," Kate and Elizabeth debated the future of a circular fashion industry and the importance of keeping clothes out of the landfill. Highlights from Elizabeth's interview below. Listen to the full episode below, or here. Download is available here.
Textile waste is a huge opportunity but there are major challenges ahead
[Elizabeth Cline] "I work in the secondhand clothing industry and my life and perspective on this issue has been completely transformed from dealing directly with used clothes. So I physically dig through and sort used clothes every week, thousands of pounds every week."
"I do see textile waste as a huge opportunity, and I think that there is value and money to be made there, but we have a really difficult road ahead of us. Most used clothing is completely worthless."
The ins-and-outs of the used clothing business
"Thredup and Swap.com sell mass-market [used clothes] online. So they're trying to figure out how to extract value out of the T.J. Maxx, the Banana Republic, the Gap, that's the bulk of what's in the waste stream [the low-value mass-market item]… so everyone is struggling right now with how to make money off that really tough part of the business, the T.J. Maxx and the J.C.Penney clearance items that most of us buy."
"If a brand is really ubiquitous it suppresses it's value in the secondhand market. That's why designer clothes have higher value because they are literally more exclusive, they're rare; they're are fewer pieces of them."
Are Americans giving up consumerism?
"A lot of people are questioning American consumerism, which is so crazy because this has been our way of life for over a half century. And now people are like, Wait a minute, what am I getting out this?"
We need public education that all textiles are recyclable
"We need to be collecting more used clothes. In the public's mind, there's so much confusion about which parts of their unwanted clothes can be donated. I think there's the perception that if something is worn out then it needs to go into the garbage, so we need public education too. That's got to be a huge part of it."
Diverting more textile waste from the landfills
"Right now, we're diverting 3.8 billion pounds from landfills and then 21 billion pounds are going in the landfills in the United States. So trying to figure out what we're going to do with it once we keep it out of the landfills is exciting, but it's also scary."

Hyderabad: The Chief Electoral Officer of Telangana, Dr Rajat Kumar, has regretted that money and mafia are playing a vital role in elections these days. This is so, because voters are not playing their role.
Speaking at a Voters' Awareness Programme at Exhibition Grounds here on Saturday, organised by the Economic Committee of the Exhibition Society and the Osmania Graduates' Association, he said the gravity of situation was such that even with a week to go before the polling, cash seized till now had gone up to Rs 104 crore which was Rs 28 crore higher than the overall amount seized during the full period in last elections which, in fact, covered entire of united Andhra Pradesh.
The CEO appealed to voters to participate in the democratic process by exercising their franchise, taking their family members, friends and neighbours along with them. "If any one offers cash, refuse it outright.
"From our side, we are working hard to control the role of money and mafia". "While voting, please go by policies and promises of parties/candidates instead of merely personalities and parochial and narrow lines".
He urged those having no voting right, to make at least five voters to vote". Swelling in voters' turnout would force the politicians to think about what people want–better security, transportation, and other facilities. That is how voting assumes paramount importance in a democracy.
If you want your voice heard, you should vote".Dr Rajat Kumar said, every elected head, from sarpanch to the Prime Minister, was concerned about the needs of the people as, otherwise, they would be rejected next time.
"If you do not raise your voice by voting, no politician would be able help you. The politicians were bound by whatever you say by your vote". He lamented that a sizeable chunk of the educated and urban voters were not going to the booths, thereby letting democracy down.
Highly educated people, professionals and most forward thinking groups were the ones who voted the least while in rural areas, the voting was reaching 80 to 90 per cent.In municipal elections, the voting was a mere 54 per cent not only in Hyderabad but in Mumbai and Delhi too.
The educated were busy and forgot that voting could ensure a better life. "One could also opt for Nota and if the number of Nota votes increases, the winning candidates should feel ashamed. If India was known outside, it was for its democracy. The Election Commission enjoyed a very good reputation all over the world.
Mexico invited its officers to demonstrate India's election process, while Brazil and few other countries approached it to know the functioning of EVMs. Our EVMs and VVPATs are acclaimed high all over the globe, because of the protocols and legal framework they were placed in.
The tools used in Germany, the US and the Netherlands lacked legal framework. Highlighting the Commission's efforts to enlist every section for voting, he said it gave a major thrust to people with disabilities (PwDs) this time, with the provision of special facilities such as free transport, ramps, wheel-chairs, parking slots and drinking water at the booths.
Braille ballot papers and voice-enabled EVMs were being used. "The Commission wants political parties to submit their manifestoes with a declaration that the promises made by them would do good to society. They were required to furnish information about the source of the money to implement their promises. Candidates, on the other hand, were asked to furnish details about their criminal antecedents and publish the same in newspapers thrice in big-sized letters.
He said, measures were initiated to phase out bogus voting, starting with electoral rolls. Any impersonation or malpractice at booths would be detected as, there would webcasting and surveillance by CCTV cameras. "We will further improve the system next time".
Dr B. Prabha Shankar, president, Economic Committee, Dr. B. Srinivasa Rao, vice-president, Exhibition Society, Dr D. Gangadhar Rao, president, Osmania Graduates' Association, and Mr Ashvin Margam, convener, were present.

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted but I have had a lot of bad days. I am just starting to have a few good days and as long as I don't overdo it I think I should be doing better for a while.
Anyway, last year I really wanted to take this drawing class that was being taught during the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival at UAF but I just couldn't. My dad and his wife were visiting and staying with us during that time. I was so bummed out because the class was being taught by the same person that I was taking watercolor lessons from. He really wanted me to go because he said that I was strongest in that area. Well, it's that time of year again and my husband is away on a two week business trip. I sent him a text about and he said, "go head!" YES! I am soooooooo excited. The class is called "Beginning to draw with the right brain." I wonder where to get a "right brain" because I'm pretty sure I've got the wrong one. :OP It is two weeks M-F in the evenings so I'll have to rest up to make sure I can make it each day. It costs too much to not go.
Anyway, so far I feel pretty good today. I've been cleaning in my kitchen, sweeping and moping and organizing… but I did have my kids move the furniture. I work in 10 or 15 minute blocks (depending on how difficult it is for me) and then I take a break. I've been doing some "spring" cleaning. I want to get the house as clean as it was when I moved in and the house was new. I have been working on the kitchen for the past week and it is looking pretty good. I've cleaned all of my white appliances and cleaned the things that just don't get cleaned as often and it looks so much better. I've found that I love those magic erasers. The main brand is by Mr. Clean but I buy the generic walmart brand and get a box of 4 for $3. They work on EVERYTHING! I cleaned the walls, scuffs on the kitchen floor, Riley cleaned his white tennis shoes with one, the bathtub, everything I can think of really. I have this "glass top stove cleaner" that is like soft scrub but made for the glass top and doesn't seem to do anything. My teen-aged boys cook some and they usually turn up the heat too high and things boil over. So I had these rings that I couldn't get off. I put some of that special glass top stove cleaner on there, let it sit a minute or two and then scrubbed until I was exhausted. Then I had Riley try and then washed it all off. The rings were still there the same as before. I tried one of the erasers and it came off so easy I threw that other crap in the trash. I didn't even use any soap, just the slightly damp generic brand eraser. It looks great.
I've also been making my own laundry soap using this recipe and it is working fantastic! No more allergies for me. I have always used tide (no fragrance) and plain bounce dryer sheets and didn't have any trouble for a long time but suddenly I started itching from head to toe. I don't know if they changed their ingredients or if I changed. I also started having problems with my shampoo and bath bar soap so might just be me. Well I made up a batch of this laundry detergent and put distilled white vinegar in the liquid softener spot in my washing machine and it works great. The vinegar helps rinse the soap out of the clothes, cuts down on some of the static and makes the clothes feel soft. It isn't as good at stopping the static but I'm still happy with it. And no, my clothes don't smell like vinegar. Vinegar doesn't smell at all when it is dry. It isn't that hard to make and it is so much cheaper! It is great to not have to worry if I will break out in hives or not too.
I am experimenting with dishwasher soap right now. I found one recipe somewhere, not sure where right now, but basically they used equal parts of borax and washing soda (same as you use in the laundry soap) and put distilled white vinegar in the spot for the rinse agent. Well all seemed to be going well until I started noticing my glasses looked like they were covered in this film. They were not so crystal clear. I also noticed what looked like "soap scum" on the inside of my dishwasher. Gross. So I ran an empty load with lemon juice to clean the dishwasher out and then I started adding a tiny-tiny little drop of my Palmolive dish soap and a large squirt of lemon juice with a scoop of the homemade dishwasher soap and they cleared up. I found another recipe that starts off the same but also includes some citric acid and coarse Kosher salt. I'll try that recipe after I use up all of what I already have.
Well I better get going and finish cleaning. I really want the house to look good when my hubby comes home from his trip.

Foreign Inspectional Collaborations
Foreign Inspectional Collaborations
FDA has had to evolve from a domestically-focused regulatory agency to one that is part of a larger global health organization while continuing to ensure the quality of products that enter the United States. FDA regulates products from more than 150 countries. In addition, approximately 40% of finished drugs and 80% of manufacturers of active pharmaceutical ingredients come from outside the US. This poses multiple challenges when the supply chain stretches across the globe. It also stresses the importance of FDA's global partnerships to ensure quality products within our own borders.
With so many imported products entering the US, Congress enacted the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) in 2012 which included provisions to improve the safety and integrity of imported drugs sold in the US. Several of the provisions focused on FDA's inspectional activities overseas with the goal of partnering with our foreign regulatory colleagues to leverage resources through information sharing and recognition of foreign inspections.
CBER continues to be active in this area. Since 2010, FDA has been an official member of the Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (or PIC/S). The mission of PIC/S is "to lead the international development, implementation and maintenance of harmonized Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards and quality systems of inspectorates in the field of medicinal products." To this end, it develops and promotes harmonized GMP standards and guidance documents; trains inspectors; assesses (and reassesses) inspectorates; and facilitates the cooperation and networking of medical product inspectorates. CBER has historically been most active in the PIC/S working group on human blood, tissues and cells.
CBER joins CDER in an Agency collaboration with the EMA known as the Good Clinical Practice Initiative. The initiative was launched after an 18-month pilot phase that began in 2009. Inspections of clinical trial sites by both the FDA and the EMA seek to ensure the integrity of data submitted to support product licensure/approval and the safety of clinical trial subjects. The initiative seeks to address the current challenges of the increasing globalization of clinical trials and the reality that the same trials are used to support Marketing Authorization Applications to the EMA and New Drug Applications and Biologics License Applications submitted to FDA. The objectives of the EMA-FDA GCP Initiative include:
- to conduct periodic information exchanges in bimonthly teleconferences on GCP-related activities, including information specific to GCP inspections (study/site selection and inspection outcomes) to improve coverage
- to conduct collaborative GCP inspections to build mutual understanding and confidence in our respective inspection processes and to share best practices
- to share information on the interpretation of GCP which can inform regulatory guidance, legislation, policy and position papers
- to identify and act on areas where greater convergence could be achieved to the benefit of clinical research
On May 12, 2014, the Agency announced the Mutual Reliance Initiative, a strategic Agency program designed to deepen our reliance on the European Union (EU), specifically for the oversight of good manufacturing practice (GMP) inspections of human drugs. Managed jointly by Global Operations (GO), CDER and CBER, this initiative builds upon our existing relationships with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and member states of the EU, the European Commission (EC), and the European Parliament. It complements the ongoing work of CDER, CBER, ORA, and OIP to enhance pharmaceutical quality through international collaboration, and also FDA's work in implementing the FDASIA. The goal is to increase our exchange of information with the EC and the EMA that is critical to making decisions that protect the public health, allowing all parties to be more efficient and effective in targeting our resources for inspecting pharmaceutical operations.

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao Announces Appointees to Advisory Committee on Human Trafficking
Washington, DC - - (October 11, 2018) - - U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Elaine L. Chao today announced the appointment of 15 members to DOT's new Advisory Committee on Human Trafficking.

The committee builds upon the Department's work with transportation stakeholders across all modes of transportation to prevent human trafficking through the Transportation Leaders Against Human Trafficking initiative. DOT also partners with the aviation industry through the Blue Lightning Initiative (BLI), led by DOT, the Department of Homeland Security, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. BLI trains aviation industry personnel to identify potential traffickers and human trafficking victims, and to report their suspicions to federal law enforcement.

Tae Kwon Do is a martial art which is known primarily for the vast selection of kicking techniques. There are multiple interpretations of the name Tae Kwon Do. It is often translated as 'the way of hand and foot'. My definition of the name is
Tae -To strike or block with the foot' or 'to kick', it also means 'jump'
Kwon - Fist "To strike or block with hand'
Do - The way of life or art. Put this together and it means: "The art of Kicking and Punching" or "The art of unarmed combat". The sport has been founded in Korea and is one of the popular modern martial arts.

Building Surveys
Building surveys identify the condition of a property including defects, outstanding maintenance and compliance with the building code. We also conduct weathertight design, plans and specifications for recladding projects.
For specialist areas of assessment which are outside our areas of expertise we often work with reputable fire engineers, structural engineers and quantity surveyors.
Reduce the risks associated with property ownership.
If you have building damage and need to determine the nature, extent and cause of the damage, we can assist by providing a detailed investigation to determine the cause(s) of the damage and to specify any remedial work necessary, including designing and specifying works and obtaining building consent as required.
To record the construction of existing buildings and producing as-built plans and elevations. If there are no accurate plans and elevations for a building we can carry out a measured survey and produce as-built plans and elevations in 2D or 3D CAD format prior to preparing designs for alterations or repairs.
To identify existing and future potential water ingress. We have extensive experience in assessing and reporting on weathertight defects to determine the extent and cause of water ingress, the extent of any damage caused to the structure by the water ingress and the scope of the remedial work required to repair the defects and damage. By carrying out invasive and non-invasive weathertight surveys and preparing detailed reports it is possible to accurately assess the extent and cost of remedial works required.
Building Maintenance Surveys and preparation of forward maintenance plans to assist in building maintenance cost forecasting. To accurately forecast future expenditure on building maintenance is a legal requirement of the Unit Titles Act 2010, i.e. the body corporate must have a long-term maintenance plan for the unit title development and must establish various funds to provide for the expenses involved in running the unit title development. We can assist by producing costed maintenance plans to satisfy this requirement.
Building Pre-Purchase Surveys to identify significant defects and maintenance issues. Also know as a builder's report or a building inspection, we identify significant defects and maintenance issues, including the possibility of a building being a leaky building, in clear and easy to read reports with colour photographs. We recommend obtaining a copy of the council property file for us to review prior to carrying out the survey so we can establish whether any building consents have not been issued with a code compliance certificate, whether any building work has been carried out without a building consent or whether any other outstanding issues exist in relation to the building.
Building Condition Surveys and preparation of a photographic schedule of condition to record the condition of a property are very useful for several situations.
To assess building code compliance for people with disabilities.

Autumn is such a beautiful time of year! Lately the weather has been pleasant so I am taking advantage of it to take long walks. Today I took a variety of tree pictures, which I am sharing with you here. All the pictures were taken with my cell phone camera.
Mini-duet in red
Trio in orange
Tree-O! This tree's branches form an "O" where it has been trimmed around the telephone wires.
Ensemble in red: Each townhouse seems to have its own red tree in front.
Shades of red
'Fro! The juxtaposition of two trees, the one behind bare of leaves makes it look like the tree has a frizzy hairdo!
Close up and personal
Crowning glory!
I hope you have enjoyed walking with me through my neighborhood!

Daily Recovery Readings for October 15, 2017:
Daily Reflection
Gossip barbed with our anger, a polite form of murder by character assassination, has its satisfactions for us, too. Here we are not trying to help those we criticize; we are trying to proclaim our own righteousness.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 67
Sometimes I don't realize that I gossiped about someone until the end of the day, when I take an inventory of the day's activities, and then, my gossiping appears like a blemish in my beautiful day. How could I have said something like that? Gossip shows its ugly head during a coffee break or lunch with business associates, or I may gossip during the evening, when I'm tired from the day's activities, and feel justified in bolstering my ego at the expense of someone else. Character defects like gossip sneak into my life when I am not making a constant effort to work the Twelve Steps of recovery. I need to remind myself that my uniqueness is the blessing of my being, and that applies equally to everyone who crosses my path in life's journey. Today the only inventory I need to take is my own. I'll leave judgment of others to the Final Judge–Divine Providence.
Big Book Quote
We alcoholics are sensitive people. It takes some of us a long time to outgrow that serious handicap.
~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, The Family Afterward, pg. 125~
Keep It Simple
Not to decide is to decide. —Harvey Cox
We are winners, because everyday we decide to stay sober. Every day we decide to listen to our Higher Power. We win by making active choices. We've stopped acting as if we have no choice. Our old way was to us by accident. Not true. We pretend we had no power. Also not true. We lost our power over alcohol and other drugs, but we still had the power to ask for help. Each time we used chemicals was a decision, just as to stay sober each day is a decision.
Prayer for the Day:
Higher Power, thanks for giving me choices. I will not run from them. Help me make good choices. Help me decide every day to listen to you.
Action for the Day:
Not for one minute will I pretend I am a victim. I'll face my choices squarely and decide.
Daily Horoscope – Cancer
You want to clear the air by talking about a sensitive issue today. But your thoughts might not see the light of day if someone cuts you off with an inconsiderate retort before you even finish a sentence. Nevertheless, you don't need to follow your self-protective instincts now and give up. This is a test to see if you can separate your current experience from the memories connected with old fears. The shadows of your past need not darken the doorway to your future.

on y va: st jean de luz, france
A few weeks ago, we went to visit the beautiful French coastal town of St. Jean de Luz. It's just south of Biarritz, in French Pays Basque. It's a gorgeous, charming resort town, with all the classic French touches and macarons and croissants coming out the ears.
In winter it's fairly empty, but has a nice small village feel. I can't imagine how it is in the summer, when folks from deep inside France head down to vacation.
The city centre is gorgeous and quaint. The church is worth an entry, too.
There's a mini-mountain at the end of the beach promenade, which boasts similarly breathtaking views of the water that we have here in San Sebastián. At the top are sculptures, a cute whitewashed lighthouse, and a cliffside walk.
And then, of course, there's the food. Typically French, and, as is to be expected, incredibly delicious. Financiers that make you want to slap yo mamma. Or your beautiful friend who is visiting you and serving as your French translator.
When it's time to leave the sweet tooth behind, your best bet is to stop into any of the sidewalk cafes, settle in with a bottle of Bordeaux or Beaujolais, and get some classic French bistro food.
A safe bet? The always delicious croque monsieur, which is to France what croquetas are to Spain: the no-fail, ubiquitious bar food. You can't go wrong. Then just sit back and enjoy the French coast and the incredible views of this tiny Basque coastal town.

Continuing Canada Week, today I'm rambling on with The Brothers Dube. Liam, Jan and Quinn are not only a tight and accomplished power trio, they are also committed to charity work — helping to improve impoverished conditions in Haiti and raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research at home. In the short time I've known of them, they have moved high on the list of today's young performers who impress me because they're doing more than just performing. We chatted via email about their recent musical releases and charity work.
ANTHONY: From looking at your videos, it looks like you all play multiple instruments. So what do you each play, and who plays the most different instruments?
LIAM: bass, guitar, drums, piano
JAN: banjo, bass, guitar
QUINN: piano, mandolin, ukelale, drums
ANTHONY: You write your own music, clearly. What's the songwriting process like? Is it always a collaboration between the three of you? Do you ever collaborate with anyone else?
JAN: We collaborate with each other, we usually come up with some riff, chords… the music… then we come up with the lyrics and melody. We collaborate with others as well, we've written with Valdy, the Odds, Shaun Verreault (from Wide Mouth Mason), North Easton (My Favorite Tragedy)… Mike Goyette, and our producer Kaylen Prescott (oh and dad!).
ANTHONY: I feel like I can hear some country influences in some of your songs (like "One") and then on others there's a very RUSH sound. Who are your major musical influences?
JAN: The country influence comes from our liking of southern rock bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Big Sugar, Big Wreck… while the Rush stuff comes from our taste in prog rock like Floyd, Phish, Rush and Zappa…. But we also like straight up rock and roll like Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine.
LIAM: we hear from some people "in the music business" that "kids aren't into rock anymore"… we think that's not true. kids like whatever they like… if it sounds good to them, they like it… it's not like music can be boxed anymore… so we think rock is as alive and well as any other kind of music…
ANTHONY: Let's talk about my favorite song of yours, "One." Tell us the story behind writing the song, and the message the song conveys.
JAN: The song was written with the goal of explaining how we believe that our Mom (Michèle) is still with us in a different form than physical "Cuz we are One" means you are still with us no matter what. It's pretty deep, and we don't often talk about it, but when we were young and she died… our dad told us something important. He asked us to think about a sugar cube, and all the ways we'd describe it… we thought of it being square, shiny, hard, white, rough… and then he asked us to imagine dropping it into a glass of water, and stirring it around, and then asked whether the same ways we described it before were any good… he helped us realize that even though the sugar cube as we KNEW it is gone, it's still actually there, in a different way, and we can KNOW this, know that the sugar cube is ONE with the water, just like our mom is ONE with everything in the universe…. pretty deep maybe but that's ONE for ya (just listen to the words)!
ANTHONY: You started performing to raise funds for cancer research, right? Which cancer charities do you support, and how can people help?
LIAM: Breast cancer… but then we saw orphans in Haiti and started helping them because they also lost a parent, and in some cases BOTH… we now raise funds for two causes Little Brothers and Sisters Orphanage Gena Heraty Fund, and the KANPE Foundation… we are now focused on getting into schools and showing kids that you can change the world through art or anything you are passionate about. We call it the ART-IVISTS SHINE SHOW and we want to bring it to a school near YOU.
ANTHONY: Tell us about your recent trip to Haiti and what you did while you were there.
LIAM: We went to Haiti to see where and how our funds were invested… and film a documentary on where kids there were living, what their lives were like, what they were doing.
ANTHONY: Your videos include a lot of concert footage. Do you tour a lot, and if you do, how do you balance the touring and school?
JAN: We share school time with touring and with the studio… we stay on top of our school work and get it out of the way as soon as we can and make sure we're in good standing at school so that they can continue to support us (Ecole Secondaire Catholique Garneau TOTALLY supports us, it's awesome!)
ANTHONY: Your videos also include a lot of hockey-playing. What's everyone's favorite positions to play? And who is your favorite team?
LIAM: Defence, Buffalo Sabers
JAN: Goalie, Ottawa Senators
QUINN: Right Wing, Montreal Habs
ANTHONY: What other sports do you guys enjoy playing?
JAN: Megastar (it's our own invented game) / leftovers batting (we bat leftovers at the cottage) / street hockey / frisbee / soccer / easter egg hunting
ANTHONY: I have no idea what Megastar involves, but I'll admit "leftovers batting" sounds like a lot of fun. Your newest song is "I Kinda Like It," and I admit, I more than kinda like it! How fun was the video shoot?
QUINN: Burning stuff is always fun when you're a kid… so that was ALOT of fun… we have other ideas for videos too that we're working on… that was a perfect day…. started snowing those BIG PUFFY snowflakes and we ran for the equipment, set up (thanks to our busking experience) and just started shooting right away.
ANTHONY: Quinn, burning stuff can be fun as an adult too. There's a reason I love campfires, and it's not just the songs and 'smores! "I Kinda Like It" came out in March. Any other new music on the way?
JAN: LOTS. Got a full album under construction… we're taking our time and want to make sure that we're happy with absolutely everything.
ANTHONY: And my usual closing question: For each of you, what is your favorite book, and what would you say to someone who hasn't read it to convince them that they should?
LIAM: The Making of Pink Floyd The Wall – you find out about all the things that were happening behind the scenes.
JAN: Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle – it will change your entire perspective of life.
QUINN: I can't remember, it was a French book, and you should really read it if you need a book to read that is easy to summarize, for people that aren't completely advanced like me.
ANTHONY: Thanks, boys! Looking forward to the new music!
You can follow each Dube brother, as well as the band as a whole, on Twitter: @liamdube @jigdube @QuinndubeDube @brothersdube You can also find them on Facebook and at their own website.
Then of course there's their Youtube channel, the most recent video posting being an acoustic version of "One" that I'm going to share right here:

Sources: UFC Pins Deal With Fox
The Ultimate Fighting Championship mixed martial arts outfit has reached a distribution deal with Fox Sports that would put live events on the Fox broadcasting network, according to sources familiar with the situation.
The multi-year deal, worth approximately $90 million annually, would have Fox broadcasting airing as many as four UFC-based events per year, giving the MMA organization its first major broadcast television outlet. An official announcement could come later this week, according to sources.
The deal was first reported by Sports Business Daily.
Also as part of the agreement, UFC content on Comcast's national cable sports network Versus, which will become the NBC Sports Network on Jan. 2, and male-targeted basic service Spike TV -- including that network's UFC Unleashed highlight show and The Ultimate Fighter reality series -- would migrate to Fox Network's FX and Fuel, according to sources. UFC's content carriage deals with both Versus and Spike expire at the end of 2011.

At the height of his addiction Charlie Parker once said, "Bread is your only friend." He was also speaking from the standpoint of how little was paid to musicians – especially Black musicians – in America. John Pittman touches upon something that Mr Parker also felt strongly about but rarely was able to articulate through his pain and that is Kinship – the unbreakable bond that exists between artists that might sometimes bind them together more closely to each other than to their spouses (assuming, that is, they were brave enough to risk marriage). Married to his music, no doubt, Mr Pittman is also recognizable from his long association with Toronto, Canada's now-celebrated Heavyweights Brass Band, a collective for which trombonist Christopher Butcher often speaks for as founder and lover of all things Jazz. Mr Pittman has now also stepped out, if you like, for things Jazzy in the form of eight wonderful songs – six of which he has written.
The breadth of the writing is truly impressive. Mr Pittman waxes his way eloquently through a myriad of styles from swinging pieces ("Ties that Bind" with its wonderfully angular time changes and rippling percussive groove) to the caressingly vivid portrait ("For Shiobhan"). The repertoire is often the first measure of how much musical history has been absorbed by a musician. Many times this takes the form of standards. This usually means a de rigueur selection from Broadway, film and Tin Pan Alley songs that have been brought together in a kind of imaginary "Great American Songbook". Ever since Herbie Hancock released his record The New Standard (Verve, 1995) the notional covers of the book were torn out and in their place new sheet music was added – music from what listener were told was "pop music". Suddenly the "Fakebook" of music (no better word was invented) was re-bound. Mr Pittman's selection includes Stevie Wonder's "As" and a song co-authored by the whimsical team of will.i.am. ap de ap, Taboo, Timberlake, Printzboard, Fratantuno and Pajan entitled almost abnormally normally as "Where is the Love?"
The rest of the music is written by the trumpeter himself and this is where he shows just how gifted he is. This is not to suggest that Mr Pittman is a shrinking violet as an arranger. In fact, apart from his powerful and eloquent trumpet playing, he has a talent for arranging music in spades. He seems to "hear" music in sinuous melodic and harmonic tones and textures which is how he has come to use the trumpet-baritone saxophone voicing on this recording; something that is wonderfully pulled off by bouncing melodic lead lines off Shrirantha Beddage (another enormously gifted music from Toronto). His rhythm section of pianist Jeff McLeod, bassist Mike Downes and drummer Curtis Nowosad can do no wrong either and each of them is fully attuned to Mr Pittman's vision and artistry.
As a trumpeter Mr Pittman has long-since shown that he has a deep and abiding love for the titular lead instrument of the Jazz ensemble – the trumpet… The brass horn is the stuff of legends from Buddy Bolden and Louis Armstrong to "Doc" Cheatham and Freddy Keppard, Dizzy, Clark Terry, Miles, and others down to Wynton Marsalis, and (with the obvious exception of Mr Bolden) Mr Pittman has "listened" to them all taking lessons in attack, dynamics and articulation from all before embarking upon a questing journey for his own voice. Listening to him play one is struck by his tone redolent of gleaming brass forged in the fire of emotion. Add to that the tantalising symmetry of his lines, which set off in wrong-footing directions and unexpected turnarounds, but always land exactly right, with their own fascinating rhythm. Put that together with his gifts in the songwriting department and you will have two compelling reasons to listen to this record carefully. A new voice of the trumpet in contemporary music has certainly arrived…
Track list – 1: Ties that Bind; 2: For Siobhan; 3: Homio-stasis; 4: Moray Crossing; 5: Where is the Love? 6: Reminiscing; 7: As; 8: Home
Personnel – John Pittman: trumpet; Shrirantha Beddage: baritone saxophone; Jeff McLeod: piano; Mike Downes: contrabass; Curtis Nowosad: drums
Released – 2018 | Label – Slammin' Media (0001) | Runtime – 45:16

Cake By Franck French Patisserie Opens at Foxwoods
It's whimsical, delightful and delicious—a French patisserie blended with New England style and sensibilities that's now part of Foxwoods Resort Casino. From edible art in all shapes and sizes to a rainbow of macarons to smiling brownies, creativity abounds at Cake by Franck.
Franck Iglesias started working in a kitchen at age 14. Also a chef, his father warned him it was no easy way to make a living. With days that can last 18 hours and sometimes end at 2 a.m., Chef Franck is no stranger to hard work. But pastry is his passion, and it's obvious even before you set foot in his new store.
Peering through the window, a giant chocolate pirate rabbit tempts you to take a closer look. Once you're inside, where to begin? Domes upon domes of croissants (chocolate, almond and coconut, thank you very much), pastries and cookies await along with an assortment of chocolates so artfully designed, they're almost too beautiful to eat. But resistance is futile.
Because we first eat with our eyes, feast yours on what's in store at Cake by Franck.
Mini Mac'Burger: Macaron shell, chocolate whipped ganache, raspberry gel, white chocolate "cheese"
PB&J Éclair
Sugar brioche
Smiling Brownies
When Chef Franck is home, his wife is the cookie and brownie baker, along with his three kids, who like to help out. So, when he's not working with all his tools of the trade close at hand, he prefers to cook. Of course, he brings treats from work as well. Why wouldn't he?
And speaking of bringing treats home, let's talk about cakes. We were invited to decorate our own as part of a special event. One came home so we could sample right away. The other will be flash frozen and shipped for us (via "Air Franck") to enjoy three days later. You can order cake for shipment through the resort's call center at (860) 312-3000. But if you find yourself at Foxwoods, definitely stop by to indulge in person.
Cake by Franck is located on the concourse level of the Great Cedar Hotel.

Interesting Wall Material
Most of the images I work with are of whole bathrooms, or even just the sink. But in the case of this one the emphasis is on the wall material around the mirror. This is a very creative mirror frame, and I think it speaks to the larger design of the bathroom, which I of course can only imagine. This is a much textured, earthy textile, and I think that we are probably dealing with a bathroom with similar notes throughout. Going with earthy colors and textiles is a great move for a bathroom, and it never hurts to let your creativity speak.

can anyone tell me the first step to begin with these technologies for making money.
Posted 27 May 2017 - 08:05 AM
- understand what you can do with the technology (UBot und available Plugins)
- understand what people want and are ready to pay for (Psychology, Competition and Market Research)
- match those two factors with your own strongest convictions / gut instinct / believe to define a very specific goal
- work hard to build the best solution / product for the defined purpose or goal
- market it in a way, so that humans obviously understand the benefits of your solution and the pain they avoid using your solution (demonstrate the gain)
- try to master all necessary skills to maintain your business (e.g. Technology, Psychology, Law, Taxes, Design, Marketing) and/or hire people to help you out
Hope that helps. Here a few additional rules of thumb, from Peter Thiel:

I too have done very well. Very close to $1million in bot sales. If I incorporate everything I may have broken over that $1million mark but alias the bills at it up on me
