No central bank in the world wants to go back to a gold standard. But that's not the point. The point is whether they will have to.
I've spoken with several US Federal Reserve Bank presidents. When you ask them point-blank, 'Is there a theoretical limit to the Fed's balance sheet?', they say no. They say there are policy reasons to make it higher or lower, but that there's no limit to the amount of money you can print.
That is completely wrong. That's what they say; that's how they think; and that's how they act. But in their heart of hearts, some people at the Fed know it's wrong. Luckily, people can vote with their feet…
I always tell people who say we're not on the gold standard that, in a way, we are. You can put yourself on a personal gold standard just by buying gold. In other words, if you think that the value of paper money will be in some jeopardy, or confidence in paper money may be lost, one way to protect yourself is by buying gold, and there's nothing stopping you.
The typical rejoinder is, 'What's the point of owning gold? They're just going to confiscate it, like Roosevelt did in 1933.' I find that extremely unlikely.
In 1933, we had just come through four years of the Great Depression, and Roosevelt was new in the White House. He closed the banks right after he was sworn in. And he confiscated gold only a few weeks later.
And it wasn't as if Elliot Ness was going door to door, breaking into your house and taking gold. They wanted to get a small number of people who had 400-ounce bars in bank vaults. And they got those people because they were able to close the banks and use them as intermediaries to confiscate that gold. But now, gold is far more dispersed, and there's far less trust in government.
If the US government tried to confiscate gold today, there would be various forms of resistance. The government knows this. So they wouldn't issue that order, because they know they couldn't enforce it, and it might cause civil disobedience or pushback.
As long as you can own gold, you can put yourself on your own gold standard by converting paper money to gold. I recommend you do that to some extent. Not all in, but I recommend having 10% of your investable assets in gold for the conservative investor, and maybe 20% for the aggressive investor — no more than that.
Those are pretty high allocations relative to what many people have. Most people own no gold, and all the institutions combined have an allocation to gold of about 1.5%. So even if you take the low end of this range, you're still nowhere near 10%.
In fact, institutions could not double their gold allocation even to 3%. There's not enough gold in the world — at current prices — to satisfy that demand. So there is huge upside associated with gold.
Still, central banks don't want to go to a gold standard. But if gold is a barbarous relic, if gold has no role in the monetary system, if gold is a 'stupid' investment, then why do the Chinese have 5,000 tonnes? Are they stupid?
You're not going to see the gold price go up 10% per year for seven years and doubling that way. It's going to chug along sideways, maybe in an upward trend, with a lot of volatility.
It will have a kind of a slow grind upward…and then a spike…and then another spike…and then a super-spike. The whole thing could happen in a matter of 90 days — six months at the most.
When that happens, you want to be prepared. It will wipe out paper savings. It will devalue superannuation. It will devalue pensions, insurance and annuities through inflation…because remember, it's not just the price of gold going up.
It's like putting a thermometer in a patient, reading a 40-degree fever and blaming the thermometer. The thermometer's not to blame; it's just telling you what's going on.
Likewise, the price of gold is not an economic object or aim in itself. It's just a price signal. It tells you what's going on in the economy.
And gold at the levels I'm talking about would mean that you've now verged into hyperinflation, or something close to it, because nothing happens in isolation.
Now you've crossed the threshold. The minute you think of gold and paper money side by side, or having some relationship, you get to these price levels of US$7,000–8,000 an ounce.
I haven't made those numbers up. They're not there to be provocative. It's simple maths.
Just divide the US money supply by the amount of gold in the market…
People will pay attention to that. And either the Chinese are dopes — which they're not — or people will start to buy gold, which they will.
But if there's a run on paper currencies (which is entirely possible) and there's borderline hyperinflation (which is entirely possible), major economies may have to go to a gold standard…not because they want to, but because they find it necessary to calm the markets.
By the way — you can't just write a game plan today and follow it step by step. That's nonsense.
You have to be nimble; you have to be following developments; and you have to be prepared to change your mind based on new news.

In 2017, a Technical Consultation was spearheaded by the Micronutrient Forum, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to advance the neural tube defects (NTDs) prevention in low- and middle-income countries through improved folate status in women of reproductive age. A group of international experts from a wide range of disciplines produced a roadmap for global action on reducing the risk of NTDs world-wide. The findings of the Technical Consultation were published in July 2017. Now this year, Nutrition International has produced a Knowledge Brief with a summary of the findings and the roadmap for action. Also, clear take away messages are outlined for decision makers, researchers and the public.
Smarter Futures partners the Food Fortification Initiative (FFI) and the International Federation for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus (IF) were both involved in the Consultation Review Process and FFI Director Scott Montgomery, FFI Communications Coordinator Sarah Zimmerman and IF Secretary General Lieven Bauwens were acknowledged for the inputs and information they provided. In addition, Scott Montgomery, Lieven Bauwens and FFI Africa Network Coordinator Ronald Afrida contributed to producing the Knowledge Brief.

From October 8-10, 2018, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Ministry of Health in South Africa, with support from UNICEF and Smarter Futures, hosted the Regional Consultative and Capacity Building Workshop on Strengthening Food Fortification Programmes: Monitoring and Surveillance Systems in Johannesburg. This workshop provided SADC Member States with an opportunity to consult and share lessons on the application of the previously learned quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) approaches with regard to food fortification, within the SADC context.
During the workshop good practices were shared related to food fortification regulatory monitoring, and the SADC secretariat introduced its efforts to develop regional food fortification minimum standards. Participants also received information about monitoring and surveillance tools such as FortifyMIS and FORTIMAS. Further objectives, additional information, the agenda and a full report can be found on the website of the Food Fortification Initiative.

On behalf of the World Health Organization (WHO), FFI's Training and Technical Support Coordinator Quentin Johnson presented a cost-benefit analysis for flour fortification in Sudan. A modelling tool was used, which was especially designed to make the economic case for wheat flour fortification.
WHO Representative Dr. Naeema Al Gasseer stated that the study result has demonstrated that investing $1 in wheat flour fortification has the potential to return $15 to the economy of Sudan. She further explained that this is due to improved cognitive ability in children and future productivity and improved working performance in the current adult population. The addition of folic acid to flour will help to reduce the incidence of neural tube defects in newborns.
Quentin Johnson said "This is the first time that I have seen three ministers of the government of the country publicly support the implementation of flour fortification in the same meeting".

A new study looks at the readiness of selected national laboratories to test fortified foods and the accuracy of their results. Dr. Philip Randall, a senior technical expert in food quality and safety, did take on this endeavor in 2016-2017.
The capacity of laboratories to measure fortified foods was assessed by how many signed in to participate in the study compared to how many managed to deliver the results in time. The samples used in this study included key staple foods such as wheat and maize flours, sugar, edible oil and table salt. The micronutrients measured were vitamin A in oil, iodine in salt, vitamin A in sugar and iron with vitamin A in wheat and maize flours.
The study has been supported by Global Alliance of Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and funded by The Government of The Netherlands. This BioAnalyt article offers a quick look into key learnings and recommendations of the study. If you want to more information about this study you are welcome to contact the lead investigator Dr. Philip Randall at firstname.lastname@example.com.

On February 15th, the European Commission, International Cooperation and Development, hosted a lunchtime conference "Food Fortification: Scalable approaches to prevent micronutrient deficiencies in populations'' at its External Cooperation InfoPoint in Brussels.
Presentations were made by Anna Verster, Senior adviser on food fortification and Smarter Futures project coordinator, Saul Morris from GAIN and Paulus Verschuren from HarvestPlus. They discussed the key factors and global experiences in effective and sustainable implementation of biofortification, large scale flour/rice fortification, and fortified complementary foods, as public health interventions.
Food fortification aims to contribute to reduction of the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies. Reducing folic acid deficiency through large scale food fortification with this essential vitamin can significantly contribute to reducing the prevalence of neural tube defects worldwide. Anna Verster, on behalf on Smarter Futures, highlighted the work done by IF in promoting folic acid fortification to reduce the incidence of neural tube defects. Her presentation is available here.

Youth Ambassadors proven Festival fund-raisers
Recent presentation of a cheque for more than $2000 to Cowra Hospital Auxiliary highlighted the vital role that the Youth Ambassador program plays in the annual Cowra Festival of International Understanding.
Youth Ambassador Erika Sullivan, sponsored by Cowra Dance Factory, presented the money to ladies from the Hospital Auxiliary who in turn awarded Erika a Certificate of Appreciation for her efforts.
The money was part of the more than $12,000 raised by the nine Cowra youth ambassadors with a special dinner announcing the winner for the 2017 Festival.
Overall winner for 2017 was Grace Gallagher — sponsored by St Raphael's Catholic School — who raised funds for Ronald McDonald House. Charity Winner for the highest fund-raiser for 2017 went to Tayla Garratt — sponsored by the Rotary Club of Cowra — who fund-raised for skin cancer research.
Other ambassadors included Jessica McLeish, Patrick Ryan, Olivia Perkins, Ben Price, Aiden Roberts, and Jaida Smith.
Cowra Mayor, Councillor Bill West thanked the local youth who gave their time, effort, and commitment to this great initiative. "The event involved nine outstanding Cowra youth with sponsors ranging from the local schools, Rotary, youth service groups, and dance and sports clubs. Charities that have appreciably benefited by their efforts include cancer charities, sports clubs, accommodation centres, and youth groups," Cr West said.
A spokesperson for the Hospital Auxiliary, in accepting Erika's funding efforts, agreed: "Thank-you to the youth of Cowra, especially those involved in the Festival, for their wonderful support of their chosen charities and to their family and friends for their support."

Thanks @webchick and @drupalize.me - Free Community Drupal Videos available now!
Less than a month ago I identified a significant opportunity to improve Drupal's growth. Many users struggle with the concept of patches and would readily fix bugs, provide improvements, contribute more if they understood how.
Rather than write a lengthy blog post I thought it more beneficial to engage the power of the Drupal community. Angie Byron for years has been a Drupal Documentation super start, Jeff Robins co-founded Lullabot who specialise in Drupal Training. All I did was send a humble Tweet, the result was far greater than I had anticipated.
In response to my initial suggestion, Lullabot have created a whole new Free Community Drupal Videos section of Drupalize.me in response to my suggestion. Kicking off with two tutorials addressing creating and applying patches, Lullabot are welcoming further suggestions from Drupalistas with ideas which help foster a better Drupal.

This week begins with a series of phone calls, and you kind of have to pity Matt Donovan. Not only is he the bearer of sad news, but every single one of his friends looks at their phone, sees his name, and instantly looks unhappy about it. They probably realize he wouldn't be back in their lives all of a sudden just to say hi, but still, he might feel a little unwelcome if he saw their reactions! Anyway, he is letting them know about Tyler, so we start with everyone in mourning.
Which means a funeral, sparsely attended though it is. Tyler's entire family died off in the first several seasons, and he's spent the last year or so hanging out with the recently deceased crazypants Virginia St. John, tracking Sirens. So, there aren't a lot of folks left to mourn him. The sad little procession files into the empty cemetery, only to find a whole row of open graves. Decidedly ominous! That's Damon's cue, of course.
Damon is still on his please-hate-me quest, so he shows up and grabs poor Matt by the throat, then forces him to drink vampire blood so that he will have to live the next 24 hours or so in even greater terror of death than usual, because for Matt, the only fate worse than death is vampirism. Damon even snarls at Ric, which is so painful, because the Damon/Alaric bromance is one of the greatest stories of TVD.
In the aftermath of the funeral terror display, the Armory is apparently completely unguarded, because Damon walks right in and has a chat with Sibyl. He's bent out of shape about feeling compelled to serve her when he knows he doesn't want to because he doesn't even like her. More talk about hell and how he's going there, which is kind of becoming like aural wallpaper this season–it's like the moonstone in S2. I hope it's similarly misleading/misunderstood, because the literal interpretation, wherein all the characters we have come to love are just doomed, sucks.
Not present at the funeral: Bonnie and Enzo. They're still at the cabin, where she is trying to get him to flip his switch. He's being so cruel, teasing her with how much he'd love to go on a romantic vacation with her, reminiscing about their times together in a mocking fashion. She explains the magical object she's using to hold him in the cabin: It's a candle that can only be extinguished by the person who lit it, and it creates a barrier that only humans can pass through, so any non-human is trapped.
Despondent at the abusive relationship dynamic she's trying to cure, Bonnie calls Caroline to find out what finally got her to flip her switch when she'd been on her break from humanity. Caroline explains that it was psychological, that she had to be forced to confront deep fears. Bonnie has a plan. She knows Enzo better than anyone, and she understands that his issues all spring from a fear of abandonment because he has been abandoned over and over throughout his incredibly long life.
She sets the whole cabin on fire, with the both of them inside. She knows he would eventually burn to death, but she would die before his eyes long before that. She knows he can't escape because of the candle, just as he knows she could walk right out and save herself. He watches her crumple to the ground, overcome by smoke inhalation, refusing to leave him, even if it kills her. It's enough. He turns the switch back on and pushes her outside to safety. He, of course, still can't get out.
When she comes to, she sees him in the doorway, calmly waiting to burn, just happy that she'll survive. Um, to hell with that, she says, rushing back in to extinguish the candle. They're free, they're together, and we've got something to be happy about again. Good thing, too, because this has been getting depressing.
This brings us to the Sirens. Sibyl's still in jail, but Alaric has instructed his surviving intern to bang the pitchfork once an hour…he won't tell the poor kid anything about why, of course. This is never a good idea. If not following through on a mysterious assignment would lead to something terrible, you can't play coy. This is a thing anyone who watches shows like TVD knows, but the people on shows like TVD never seem to realize. The poor kid gets a call from the cops about finding Georgie's body, and he rushes out, leaving the bell unrung. Sibyl is once again able to think clearly and use her powers, and she wastes no time busting loose and stealing the pitchfork on her way out.
Seline, meanwhile, has continued to be the best hot nanny ever, generously offering to keep the girls with her all day while Ric attends Tyler's funeral. She takes them to a carnival, which seems largely pointless, despite her making kind of a big deal of it. Anyway, she gets them a dead goldfish at the ring-toss booth, and she builds a creepy pyre for a fish funeral. She tells them about spirits being carried off after death and bodies being left behind but still important in their own ways (she doesn't explain that she means lunch). She tells them about Cade like he's Santa Claus, and she has them help her burn the pyre, encouraging them to siphon her. Of course, Georgie's under the pyre, so she's just made a couple of toddlers accessories after the fact to a murder. So...not exactly the best hot nanny ever.
Also at the carnival, Damon has called for Stefan. They have another unpleasant conversation, and fortunately, Caroline ignored Stefan's broody-pants I-must-do-this-alone noise; she shows up just in time to save the day. Damon is vervained and chained. Stefan locks him away in the family crypt. This lasts all of a few minutes because Sibyl heads straight there to wake him up and re-conscript him.
The gang hangs out at the carnival, having a pseudo-memorial service for Tyler, this time with Enzo and Bonnie in attendance. They reminisce, and it's really nice. Matt and Caroline get to talking, and she's the proud mom, showing off pictures of the twins. Matt was the recipient of Tyler's personal effects, though, so he recognizes Seline as the Siren Tyler and Virginia had been hunting. He tells Caroline who the hot nanny really is, and she and Ric rush home…but the girls are gone. There's a creepy drawing of Seline and Cade as mommy and daddy.
Are you loving the Sirens story, or do you want to see their asses kicked into oblivion as much as I do? Start the discussion below!

Multi-Ch. BOHEM TIME FLIES aka "Timmy", der die europäische Whippetzucht im ersten Jahrzehnt dieses Jahrhunderts maßgeblich mit prägte, stellvertretend für den amerikanischen Typ des Whippet steht und dessen außergewöhnliche Showkarriere Rita wie folgt beschreibt:
|Bohem Time Flies with his owner Rita Vanhaeren/B at Skokloster Show in Sweden
"Born in California in September 2000 and imported as a young male to Belgium, Multi-Ch. BOHEM TIME FLIES aka "Timmy" started his showcareer on the continent in 2001.
|Rita and her mentor Bo Bengtson - Amsterdam 2001
His multi winnings made him to the most champion titled winning dog of Bohem. A lot of breed specialists, whippet judges and all-rounders recognized the qualities of Timmy and awarded him with the most desirable winnings in the ring. His most important title is of course, FCI International Champion. Beside that he also is Champion of Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany and Poland. He was also awarded Copenhagen Winner 2003, Saarlandwinner 2004 and gained the most wanted German top title of Bundessieger in 2004. There is no doubt that 2004 was a top year in Timmy's show career. His many wins all over Germany was a record and made him No. 1 Top Whippet WCD Germany 2004. Timmy had won almost everything one could dream about. But in Poznan, Timmy completed his show career in style by winning the most desirable title of: WORLD CHAMPION 2006. This was a thrilling win, the icing on the cake !
At the age of 6, Multi Ch. Bohem Time Flies' offspring is already doing well in the ring. Top breeders have brought their bitches to him and recognize the qualities of this famous studdog. Youngsters are in Belgium, France, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Hungary, England, Sweden, Finland and Russia. 2013 was so exiting, when his daughter Multi Ch. SAGRAMOUR FOXY FLYER became World Winner 2013 in Budapest. His most famous and worldwide known son is without doubt Multi-Ch. SONG SUNG BLUE GOLDDUST "Dandy", living in Russia. We were thrilled when Dandy stepped in his sire footsteps, when he became WORLD WINNER 2014 in Helsinki.
Timmy was my heartdog, my once in a lifetime whippet ... He passed away on February 16th, 2015. He will always be a part of me ... I am grateful for the legacy, I see him in his children and grandchildren ..."
|Bohem Time Flies "Timmy"
Auch über "Timmy" versuchte ich etwas mehr zu erfahren und danke Rita sehr herzlich, dass sie meine Fragen beantwortete:
1. What made you decide upon Timmy as pick of the litter ...
"When I got my first Whippet Versace di Petjami, on the breeders request I went to a show, and we won. So when the time came that I decided to have another showwhippet, I took his pedigree and looked up all the name. My eye felt on the beautiful grandsire Multi-Ch. Bohem Flight Time. So one evening I sent a fax to Mr. Bo Bengtson, as I had found his phone/fax number in a magazine. Great was my surprise I got an answer back, and an email address as well. I told him that I was looking for a male, showprospect, and that I had a grandson of Vinnie. In his next message he wrote that there were no litters at that time, but one was planned by A.I. from Multi-Ch. Bohem Flight Time. A few months later I got a message demanding if I still was interested in a puppy. Of course I was. I was over the moon.
A couple of months later, 11 September 2000 Annie (Ch. Bohem All About Eve) gave birth to 4 boys. It was Bo who made the decision which one was going to come to our home in Belgium. I got the first puppy photo, and silently I hoped for one special boy. As it was meant to be, that was the one Bo had choosen for me. When he was 7 months, Bo and I agreed that I would travel to the American Whippetclub National in Dallas. It was there that I met 2 other owners of Timmy's brothers. A start of a friendship we shared all those years, even as our boy has passed away. I will always be thankful to Bo Bengtson for trusting me Timmy as I was a novice."
2. What do you think were the most outstanding qualities he passed on to his offspring ...
"Timmy has bred some wonderful litters. His offspring are sound. They have strong bodies and deep and well filled chests, a perfect top and underline. Well muscled back and hindlegs (especially second ty). Powerful, sound movement with good reach and drive. Of course the perfect Whippet doesn't exist, there could be things that could be changed, but none of them are major. The only thing I can say is, those who did the effort and show with their dogs in the ring got results. Especially if you know that the American lines take more time ... at 5 - 6 they are on their best."
3. Which loveable personal characteristics would you emphasise ...
"Timmy was a dog with a lot of charisma, a real stallion, and also the type I like it. In a great ring, he would show his great movement, expecially when it was outside. And then, we may certainly not forget his personality. The sweetest dog ever, a real gentleman to the bitches who visited him and to all other Whippets comming his way. His sweet and loving temperament is something he has given to all his puppies, without exception. He really has it all. He was my companion from day 1. He lived for me and vice versa. He was my once in a lifetime dog. A show dog, only in the ring, but the perfect companion and always by my side, once in the car heading home."
4. And last but not least, did you experience any funny or strange adventures with him, either in the show ring or at home ...
"There are a few funny things about him. He was the leader at home, ruling with a velvet glove. He never went into a dominant position, but all knew and respected him as the leader of the band. In the ring, we had a code word: * milky milky * He knew that that was the start for the run around the ring. He adored drinking milk, all his life. When I became severely ill end 2003, he was my therapydog. Due to the chemo treatment I wasn's allowed to work. But I had the permission to travel by car (only my own). So my partner Gilbert forced me to go to shows with Timmy, to see other people and forget the trouble caused by my healthproblems. I didn't need to cry, Timmy just knew and felt what I was feeling, he was happy when I was feeling well, and sitting near to me, his leg on my body, when I got treatment. The day he passed away, a part of me died as well.
My once in a lifetime dog, my proud and joy, my heart and soul ... "
Züchterisch kam Timmy in Belgien, Deutschland, Finnland, Frankreich, Spanien und der Schweiz zum Einsatz und wurde laut TWA in den Jahren 2003 bis 2011 als Vater von 16 Würfen eingetragen. Die Liste mancher Nachkommen liest sich wie das "Who is Who" der Whippetwelt. Für alle, die mehr Bilder sehen und über die Erfolge von Timmy's Nachkommen erfahren möchten, empfehle ich, in der Homepage von SONG SUNG BLUE Whippets zu stöbern und zu staunen.
Ich möchte diesen Bericht aber nicht schließen, ohne einen Enkel von "Timmy" und Sohn von "Song Sung Blue Ingivenchy" zu präsentieren,
|beautiful headstudy of SONG SUNG BLUE INGIVENCHY
der 2014 bei den PILLOW TALK WHIPPETS von Bianca Weisl/Austria zur Welt kam und in jüngster Zeit von sich reden macht. Der hübsche PILLOW TALK FOXTROTT IN HEAVEN kann trotz seiner Jugend bereits auf eine beachtliche Ausstellungskarriere und eine stattliche Anzahl an Titeln zurückblicken, wie auf seiner Seite im TWA nachzulesen ist. Ich bin sicher, von Fox werden wir auch in Zukunft noch hören ...
|Pillow Talk Foxtrott in Heaven - what a lovely expression
|Pillow Talk Foxtrott in Heaven - a natural born poser
Finally I would like to say a big thank you Rita for your willingness, to support me in writing this portrait about Timmy and some of his offspring. I am so happy having got to know you personally and hope we will meet again some time.

Magnificent Aircraft Carriers - For the first time, the 11 aircraft carrier force is solely nuclear-powered, comprised of USS Enterprise (CVN 65) and 10 ships of the Nimitz class. USS George H. W. Bush (CVN 77), the last of the Nimitzclass carriers, was delivered to the Navy in May 2009. The day after that delivery, the commissioning pennant was lowered on the last fossil-fueled carrier, USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63), after completing more than 48 years of active service. Although George H. W. Bush will include many upgrades and improvements, service life allowances (such as weight and center of gravity, electrical load margin, material handling, and future weapon requirements) constrain the further growth of the Nimitz-class design. Consequently, a new design was approved to ensure the aircraft carrier's role as the centerpiece of the 21st-century carrier strike group.

text: Regarding the papers I bought, I found that the course of the questions were largely similar for section A and C. However for section B, I personally found that the themes in the actual GAMSAT were much easier to locate. The comments given in the question did not quote a speaker or writer, and it let me better integrate the comments in my essay. Overall I felt that the course closely modelled the GAMSAT papers. I hope this feedback helps somewhat. I apologise for not divulging too much about the test questions, for legal reasons. All the best to your team and I look forward to see more accurate papers from you.

That's the nature of winter over here. Full strength for a few days, then a few mild days will come in to reduce everything to water before a short cold period sets in again. A forever on-going ring of events making up the "winter" of the north-western part of Norway.
It's all a result of the coastline, the sea, the Gulf Stream and what have we all. And we just have to live with it. Some winters tend to be different and colder, but the norm is mild weather lingering around the 0 degrees C limit, more or less. Just the way we see it these days, in other words.
Today has been a day on the phone. First to the help center at our own internet provider to get help with a completely stuck or lost signal. That one was quite quickly and easily fixed, but before that one issue was really sorted out my mother in law called me. She had been away buying herself a mobile broadband kind of thing, and was wondering if I could give her a helping hand getting her brand new computerized-windows-based-pad-kind-of-thing logged on to her equally brand new internet providers glimmering white box with many lamps on the front...
Oh heck!
So off I went as soon as my wife had a stable enough line to work on, just to dig myself down into stuff I'm not too familiar with. And trouble I got. Loads of it.
After two hours on the phone talking to no less than three different guys on the helpdesk I finally managed to get a mobile signal into the afore mentioned box, and also to have it transferred further into my phone. For a start.
Yeeppie Ki Yay!
Off then, over to the brand new Windows based thing to get that one connected to the same network, which I managed to get done quite easily as expected. And then over to test it by downloading some newspaper page just to see it worked.
And whataya think? Nope! It only returned me to the router itself for a firmware update inside the thing, which I would have managed if it was not for the slow speed of the things happening. At 35% download I just had to leave the place before I went totally through the roof, so I think I might just as well return back in an hour or two. I don't have the patience for things like this anymore. End of story.
So that's my day. And oh, I had the daily snap snapped. Of course. you still have to wait in patience to get to see any results, as you know. Since it's a 365 project done on film, for a change.

#1. Weight training.
Lots of people think it will make them bulk up. But actually, it builds lean muscle mass and burns fat fast. While also boosting your metabolism – leading to having leaner and toned body.
How to do it?
You will need a pair of dumbells or a pair of adjustable dumbbells if you are thinking of using multiple weight loads.
It is also important to select how much weight you'll be lifting, especially for women.
You need to train your upper and your lower body and focus on all the major muscle groups, not only one or two.
#2. Speed rope skipping.
If you have ever used a speed rope, then you will know that it gives an excellent cardio workout that will have you sweating and burning off fat.
How to do it?
Invest in a speed rope and use it for 20 minutes 3 times a week, if you aren't using any other cardio exercises as well
#3. Circuit training.
Circuit training is a combination of cardio interval training and weight training. It is super helpful for burning off fat, and it will do so quickly.
How to do it?
You will need the following equipment:
- Weights
- Cardio equipment
- Step/speed rope or other
- an exercise ball (optional)
Then get your circuit by doing two weight training exercises followed by one cardio. You then repeat it until you have reached 20 minutes.
#4. At home interval training.
Interval training is one of the effective cardio workouts for fat burn. It also makes you fitter with each session, and it boosts your metabolism and calorie burn.
How to do it?
Should you aim for about three sessions of interval training three times a week for best results? Choose any combination that you will enjoy.
Start out slow and then increase the intensity and speed until you reach your limits. After that, lower your speed until you are back to the starting point. Repeat until your 20 minutes are up.
Of course, you need to eat healthy foods at the same time for maximum results. There's no point in working out if you're not prepared to get your nutrition right.
Studies have shown that eating six small meals throughout the day helps keep your metabolism running faster and reduces cravings.
Here's some good gear you can use at home:
- The physical exercise ball.
The physical exercise ball is among the greatest at house physical exercise equipment you can invest in.
It's fairly affordable, you can do plenty of workouts on it, and it's an enjoyable piece of gear.
But what makes the ball even much better is its capability to train all of your abdominal muscles; this consists of your upper, lower and side abs.
- Dumbbells.
Dumbbells are important if you would like to shed physique body fat.
If you determine to invest in some, select the kind that you could adjust to any weight load. That way you can optimize as you get stronger. And do not be concerned – weights will, by no means, make you bulk up as long as you do not overdo it.
- A skipping (jumping) rope.
Cardio is essential in any weight reduction regime. However, it can get a little tricky of your work out at home.
The skipping rope is your answer. It provides an excellent general workout, and it's fun too
When getting one, select a speed rope. They provide even more intensity.

You can also use Ab Carver Pro that will carve your core and help you get flat abs and sculpted arms.
- Resistance Bands.

New Year
The new year is almost here! New projects, new job (when I get one), recently single so I can look for a new boyfriend, and a new gym, brand new fancy gym in downtown Vancouver that looks out onto the water and towards North Vancouver. I'll get a picture of it when I go there in the daytime. I finished my classes at the beginning of the month, had Christmas events to go to, then flight prices went down so I was able to get an affordable flight to my parents, and I go home tomorrow and get all this newness to myself. organisation here and will be dropping them off about 10 pairs to a school in January. In other quick new NEWS, I will be selling some of my knitted items. Still not sure how I'll do it, right now it's order it and I'll make it, but I'm hoping to have it well organised for next winter. Have a happy new year, y'all.

Did you ever see the movie "Bravehart?" Early in the film the English and Scots armies are squared off against each other in battle formation. Just when a fight seems inevitable, small negotiating teams from both sides ride out to meet each other. At this tense point, with the hostile armies on the verge of confrontation, the negotiators work out a settlement between the Scots and English kings averting battle.
As odd as it may seem, personal injury claims are often settled through a very similar process. We prepare our clients' cases exactly if we are going to battle it out with the insurance company at trial. At some point before the trial, we sit down directly with representatives of the company and explain precisely what our evidence is and how we intend to present our case to the jury. We also explain the amount of the verdict we believe we will achieve based on our experience.
Now the insurance company is faced with a choice. They can either pay our client a fair settlement or go to battle (actually trial) with us and risk having a much larger verdict rendered against it than the amount of the settlement we are prepared to accept. Faced with this choice, the insurance company usually pays our clients a fair settlement.
Having explained our method, it should be obvious why we recommend that injury victims avoid hiring firms with little or no trial experience. When inexperienced firms sit down with an insurance company, the company has no incentive to pay a fair settlement because it is not afraid of doing battle with these firms in court. The ultimate loser in all this is, of course the injury victim. That is why if you are injured through negligence it is so important that you choose a firm that is ready to do battle for you. It is your best leverage against the insurance company.

Well looks like I am going down the wrong road! Am trying to limit my time on the oxygen. But I have to keep my Sats over ninety which I can only do on the compactor! Right now at rest i.e. Sitting the level is 81. If I practice my yoga deep breathing exercise I can bring it up to 90 and over but don't feel I can breath like that all the time.
Am exercising. Bike weights and loosening exercise. With oxygen. But it's this not keeping the sat level up without it that worries me!

There are a number of ways to measure your Marketing Return on Investment commonly referred to as ROI, in relation to your content such as your articles, videos, social media posts, email marketing, etc. The way you will measure your ROI will depend on the goals you have set and the platforms you use.
In most cases, you will have one of these three goals:
- Generate more leads
- Make more sales
- Increase brand awareness
Depending on the goal, you will then choose one or more marketing platforms and look at the metrics for each.
Here are some of the most important marketing methods to help you achieve your goals, and what to look for in terms of ROI.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
With SEO, you are going to look at the amount of traffic you're generating from your content by checking your traffic analytics. The most common and commonly referred to as the best program to use is Google Analytics. It is a very robust program with extremely detailed information and best of all it's free.
If you don't already have an account, the first step is to sign up for a free one. Get a free Gmail account, and it will give you access to all of Google's free marketing tools via only one password. Copy and paste the special analytics code you will be given in the interface into your website, and then start tracking each piece of content and each marketing campaign you create to drive traffic to certain pages.
Pay Per Click (PPC)
If you have a budget, drive traffic through PPC and calculate your ROI in terms of how many completed actions are taken. This could be subscribers for your email marketing list, or sales. In terms of subscribers, you should have a rough idea of the dollar value of each person on your list, for example $1. As long as you spend less than $1 getting the lead, you are getting decent ROI. In terms of sales, deduct ad costs from your profits. Google AdWords, Bing, Facebook and Twitter all have good advertising programs.
Social Media Marketing
This can be free, or paid. In terms of free, track your results through the analytics for each site. For example, at Facebook, use the Insights tab. Also pay attention to the messages about sponsoring your best posts – that is, turning them into ads. Facebook and Twitter ads are more targeted than Google's and cheaper too.
In addition to sponsored posts, you can promote your account, and you can also create ads from scratch. Use all three methods and track your results in terms of clicks, costs and completed actions.
When setting up any social media campaign, create a special URL to help you track your results more easily.
Post videos on YouTube and check your logs regularly in terms of views, likes and subscribers.
Email Marketing
Social media marketing is extremely popular, but if you want to build relationships with your target audience over a period of time to engender trust and loyalty, email marketing is best the way to go.
In determining ROI, you'll have a number of metrics to look at. The first will be the number of subscribers you get for each campaign. For example, offer a free ebook or ecourse about a particular topic of interest to the people in your niche and check traffic versus sign-ups.
When you start mailing out information to them, your next metrics are going to be your open rate, click-through rate and your conversion or transaction completion rate. If you are trying to sell a product, you can track the number of clicks and the number of sales.
Managing your time as well as your money well, and tracking all of your results, will ensure that you get the most return on your investment of effort and cash when it comes to marketing your own business successfully.

Ready, steady, cook! Oh… wait…
September 25, 2013 § 5 Comments
Maybe I'm just too competitive, but if you're going to invite me to something that's labelled a challenge, and there are other teams doing the same challenge, I quite like the idea that there'll be judging of some sort – even if it's just all in the name of fun.
I bring this up, because yesterday, having been dropped in the deep end by my friend, Sharon, I headed off to the Good Food and Wine Show to cook a mystery box with her in the Woolworths kitchen.
I was a little nervous, I admit. But it turned out I didn't have to be – all we had to do was cook breakfast, ensure we used coffee in our dish, and use the ingredients supplied to come up with a delicious breakfast. There were some odd ingredients, most of which were ignored by the 'contestants', so we came up with a pretty good plan – keep it simple and tasty – and commenced.
But here's the thing. We had an hour to cook breakfast. An hour? Seriously? Halfway through, having sat down for a bit of a tweet break to pass the time, I decided to bake scones. Why not? We still had half an hour to go.
Now don't get me wrong – I'm no Masterchef. I'm just a home cook who's used to having to make breakfast, chivvy sleepy kids along, make school lunches, write excuse notes for Phys. Ed., remind same sleepy children about violins and sports kit and music books, and yell at the dogs – all in less than an hour. Oh, and I usually tweet a bit while I'm doing it too. An hour seemed positively luxurious.
And then – get this – there was no judging? We just kind of plonked our food on the table, half-heartedly picked at some of the other teams' food and then shuffled off to see the rest of the show.
Yes, the local Masterchef winner was there, and so was one of the finalists, but I'm not sure if that was supposed to be a thing? Were we supposed to be impressed and fawning, and thrilled to have met these mere mortals? Really? Really really?
To be honest, the most fun came from the Twitter folk who had come to support us. They laughed and cheered and offered us wine (after all, it was noon somewhere in the world) and generally made the whole thing a lot more fun.
Sharon made a deliciously toothsome omelette with sundried tomatoes and pumpkin seeds, and I made French toast with honeyed bananas and pecans, and a chocolate, coffee and orange sauce. Oh, and the scones – which I couldn't have done nearly as fast as I did without Sharon's help. We made an excellent team, I thought.
And I suppose it was fun to cook something – in this case my sauce – without having to worry about whether or not the kids would eat it. But in the end, no-one ate it anyway, so it was a little like cooking at home in some ways.
When I finally got home late yesterday afternoon, I proudly showed my husband the pictures of our efforts. He took one look at my plate and asked: "Who splattered all over your plate?"
Sigh. Everyone's a critic.

How disappointing not to have judges. Although Twitter judges are far more fun anyway aren't they?
Haha! Forgive me. But I'm glad there was no judging, or this post wouldn't have been so funny. Clearly a missing link in the organisation, somewhere. I wonder if he or she was found lurking somewhere today? And I'm glad some tweeps were there to lubricate the event in bachannalian manner. 😉
Oh, and we can add another 'c' to bacchanalian and bin an 'n'. 😉

These days, we will attempt to shed some gentle with this irritation that many of us within our the middle of daily life have started to discover and therefore are concerned with, the trend I am just discussing the following is referred to as Wrinkles.

Make an effort to involve vegetables and fruits, which have a superior antioxidising, add up because anti-oxidants aid to combat volatile atoms, which jack the neurons from far healthier pores and skin tissues and then damage them. Moisturize your epidermis up to it is possible to, the standard phase with this is to try to ingest as much water as you can throughout a day to lessen wrinkles. When the skins cellular material has the best possible moisture content articles, they appear wholesome and shine radiantly. When this is simply not the situation they come to be boring and weak, this leads to the development of wrinkles.

Consequently, you must wear a Sunscreen lotion always when out in the open below the scorching sunshine. The anti aging lotions would also keep the epidermis replenished using the essential moisture content necessary to maintain the pores and skin with an optimum PH level.

Pick up a rack of these beauties and prepare to be amazed – trust us, it really is shocking how so much gear can weigh so little! Being super light is not the whole story though. You also need to find the optimum balance between size, strength and weight. Sure, DMM could have made this biner smaller, and as a result, lighter, but there comes a point when a tiny biner becomes a key ring – too fiddley to hold. Functionality is just as important as weight. At 28g the Phantom is astonishingly light.

One of the great things about staying at Bally's is that it is pretty near to cheap eats and accessible to highways. Driving could be a pain (I rubbed and burst two tires against the pavement, as I tended to overcompensate to the right as a right side driver) as the parking is a bit narrow. But other than that, did I mention, HOW MUCH I LOVE DRIVING IN USA?! ESPECIALLY NEVADA AND ARIZONA!
|Massive Pork Chop!
Our first meal was at Ellis Island Brewery and Casino. I googled the place before we flew over, because I knew how much Bobo loves his beer, and I loved to try its prime rib. Bleeping hell, went there twice, never got to eat it. Still mad about that.
|Chicken Noodle soup with crackers. Tasted like MSG.
|Family style
The beer was good and really cheap. The food was plentiful and affordable (veggies on the plate cooked to death though). I had the pork chop and salad. I liked the salad a lot. The restaurant was like a family diner at the back of a casino. I liked eating there, though we had to wait for the food to come. The server was great!
|Damn, should have ordered this. Fries were nom nom nom!
|Hefe weiss and Amber
|Three persons and only this much! You would never get this price @ home.

The 60th Anniversary UFO festival in Roswell had a completely different face on it this year and was unlike anything that had happened before. Sine 2006, the various groups putting on the annual event had broken into separate factions. One group had their festivities in a nearby city the week before with little fanfare. Another group headed up by the UFO Museum had their own convention at their own facility for the second year running. This year the city put on it's own celebration. Guy Malone of Alien Resistance was chosen by the city of Roswell to coordinate the Cities own convention. With the success of the Ancient of days Conventions held in the last four years it was a position easily filled and successfully achieved. Guy and I have had our differences in the past but I have to give credit where credit is due. He was able to invite several very good Christian speakers to present the Biblical views and rounded out the speaking venue with a great balance. I was originally invited to speak on Man Made UFOs but I knew I had to do this parting meeting for the believers in Roswell. I didn't think it would be fair to try and do both. I was committed to obeying the Lord and having this meeting so it had to come first, so I had to turn down the offer. Tom Horn filled the empty spot so no one lost out in the deal. I even changed the day and time of my meeting so as to fit in with the rest of the events. Dave and Joe and I had a table at the cities convention so I was looking foreword to sharing with the public like we do at other meetings.
July 3rd
We left Detroit Metro airport at 6:30 am as scheduled. Our flight path to Roswell was changed at the last moment and Debbie and I just accepted this in stride. Our path took us to Atlanta Georgia where we had just enough time to grab breakfast and our plane going to Salt Lake City Utah!
What! It was crazy enough that we went to the south east in Georgia before heading west but then to go beyond New Mexico to the North west didn't make much sense to either of us. But we had never been to that part of the country so even from the air it might be an adventure to see the salt flats and the great Salt lake so what the heck, the rate was cheaper and we had the time so let's just go with it. It did add three more hours to our travel time but we allowed plenty of extra time anyway. Once in Sault Lake City we had a two hour delay because of a broken window in the cockpit of the plane.
When we finally got to El Paso Texas we got our rented car and headed to Roswell it was around 6:00pm and originally we would have been there at about 11:00am. It had been a long day but was about to get even longer. We were supposed to hook up with Debbie's friend , Joyce along the way. Joyce, took a short cut through white sands military base as her son was with her and was stationed there. He had access through the base which served as a short cut which should have saved them an hour of travel time. When they got to the gate at the end of their route, it was closed with no guard posted. Time off for the holiday I guess. So they phoned us and said they had to back track around.
We waited in a small town on an other wise deserted desert highway in the middle of nowhere. Being the holiday week-end, everything was closed up with nothing open, not even a convenient store. When Joyce finally met up with us, it was just getting dark. Debbie left with her friend to Alamogordo for a couple of days where she would meet up with me again in Roswell. By the time I hit civilization again it was so late that everything was closed, even Mc Donald's. When I got into Roswell it was well after 10:00 pm and Alsup's was open (a gas station/convenience chain store common in the west) . I dined on their fine cuisine of a dried over cooked hot dog on a stale bun with a bottled water. I reached Mike and Jackie's house where Dave Ruffino was already there waiting for us. It was almost 11:00 and way past my bed time. All in all, this was a typical traveling experience for us. I always expect some kind of resistance from the enemy when we are about to do engage ourselves in spiritual warfare. So this was almost expected without mention.
July 4th - 6th
I was up at around 4:00am with a heavy burden to go outside on the porch and pray. I was on Mike's couch in the living room so it was rather easy to navigate through the house without waking anyone else. My mourning was planned to pass out flyers and approach the media about our meeting. Joe Jordan and Dave Ruffino planned to go to the crash site with members of "Alien Resistance". Then they planned on going to the convention center to set up for activities which started the next day. I was asked to go to the crash site with them but originally declined. They planned on getting back in enough time for me to still do what I had planned so I decided to tag along.
We tried to take a short cut to the site determined by our colleague Dave Flynn's calculations. After many miles of desert back roads we reached a sign that concluded our trip. We didn't know it at the time but we were within seeing distance of the location we just could not get to it from the "short cut" we took.
I spent the rest of the day passing out and posting flyers where I could in downtown Roswell. I then went to the Roswell Community Center to our booth set up that Joe. Dave and I had for A.A.C.C.O.A. This was my element and I spent the rest of the next two days there talking to many people and sharing my faith and reliance on Jesus and not Aliens with most anyone who would listen. The good thing was that there were many who were open to hear another way of looking at these things. The days spent at the booth reminded me how much I missed having my store open with all the opportunities to share with others.
The Newspaper add in the Roswell Daily Record came out and looked good located in the midst of all the other adds for the week-ends activities. we were as ready as we could be for tomorrow.
July 7th
I got up early spent some time in prayer and reviewed my notes while insuring that all of my transparencies were in proper order for the overhead projector. Mike and Jacky met up with Debbie and I at the Motel Conference room where we began to set up for the meeting. We had seating for about 55 people and really did not know what kind of turnout we would have. Preparations had been made to move into a much larger room if we needed it so we at least felt confident that either way we were going to be OK. My friend John Donahue a local Roswell resident and member of the same church I used to attend when I lived there, volunteered his professional talents in video production. He came to set up his camera and sound equipment so a DVD could be made of the meeting.
Unlike other conferences, we started our meeting in a prayer and then entered into a short time of praise and worship singing a few hymns before we got started. The room was filled to over capacity but not too badly crowded. There was only one complaint about the singing as most were pleased to have this kind of introduction.
The music ministry was very effective in bringing the presence of the Lord in our midst. Dave Ruffino opened with a short introduction and then I came up to take over. Much to my dismay all of my transparencies had been dropped and shuffled out of sync. I used the first few that were in order and made the dramatic intro that I had desired but the rest was so messed up I discarded the whole thing and improvised the rest of the presentation. I guess it must have been OK as no one noticed. I have by now, memorized most of the information , scriptures, names and dates and was able to make the presentation as seamless as possible. There were a few things I forgot to cover as I had abandoned my notes and outline and only I was disappointed in that fact.
There was a special surprise as one of our attendees was the President of MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) who was invited by Joe Jordan. I was disappointed as not one local Pastor from any of the Churches in Roswell were present. Most of the people however were local residents and concerned Christians who desired to know more about what their community was promoting from a Biblical perspective.
There are many I suppose who would say that this meeting was a flop that produced no effective results. Others might be more graceful and allow for some hopeful results. For myself, I tried not to have any expectations but remained faithful to do what the Lord desired me to do. I provided the opportunity for people to come and hear and see and I spoke. That is all I could do and I felt very comfortable with my obedience to that. I always have the hope that this was not in vain but accomplished what the Lord wanted. In retrospect there could have been improvements and if I ever have another meeting like this I have learned from this first step.
After the meeting was over there was an extended time of question and answers. There was enough interest by many who wanted to have a more private talk with me so I stayed to answer questions. Dave and Joe had to leave to get ready for Joe's presentation at the official UFO conference just down the street.
One particular person was of special interest to me as he became a "second witness" to the theme of my talk based on the Zechariah 5th chapter and Roswell. This had been received by everyone with much skepticism and subtly shunned even by those I considered my colleagues.
A Pastor from Ft. Worth Texas came up to me and told me how he came here looking for me. He continued to tell me that he was an assistant Pastor of a small church and a little nervous coming to Roswell in the midst of all of this UFO and Alien stuff. He assured me that the Lord had told him to come here and was the only reason he would come to something like this. He said the Lord told him he would find answers to his questions. He began telling me his story. His wife was the daughter of an Air force pilot who had a UFO encounter which led to his discharge and a mental breakdown. She had an experience with a UFO sighting and encounter with an insectoid type alien entity later in life herself. Being a fully mature and seasoned Christian involved with deliverances and other supernatural gifts from God's Holy Spirit, she knew what to do and in the name of Jesus made the intruding entity "go away. They desired to know more about what happened from a Biblical perspective if there was one. While Rev Ray Andrews prayed about this he got an answer from Zechariah 5th chapter. He told me that the Lord told him this text of scripture and the woman in the basket, had something to do with the Roswell crash of 1947. The Lord told him to go to Roswell during the convention and there he would meet other Christians who knew more about this. With a steadfast determination, he left for Roswell and first encountered Guy Malone of Alien Resistance who was coordinating the 2007 events for the city of Roswell. He then sat in on Dr. Mike Heiser's speech and afterward met Tom Horn. Tom Horn was originally going to help me with my meeting but changed his mind when he had an opportunity to speak at the Official UFO convention. Tom was fully aware of my material as I had shared all of it with him months before this July event.
I think this was a unique series of events as these were colleagues that all had a part in being very skeptical of what I was doing. I certainly do not blame them as if the roles were reversed I am sure I would be equally skeptical of such a claim. Rev. Ray had pretty much told all of them the same story he told me and Tom Horn was the one who steered him to me. Pastor Ray's story was a tremendous encouragement for me as I realized in a very obvious but small way God was saying, " see I got your back covered, I am confirming my Word in you in the same way I always have."
It wasn't until after I got back home I realized something else that was rather funny and very typical of the Lord's sense of humor. When news of the Roswell crash was first released, it was General Ramey from a higher chain of command stationed at Ft Worth Texas that tried to kill the captured saucer story and debunk it as a crashed weather balloon. Now sixty years later the Biblical truth presented in Roswell on 7-7-07 and pretty much rejected by all, was confirmed by another follower and servant of Christ from gee... Ft Worth Texas. I just had to laugh to myself at the irony of it all. I just love the way my whole life has been filled by these kind of "coincidences"
I stayed at the Motel until the last person left, then it was time to join Dave in support of Joe's presentation. He gave a very daring talk that both challenged the new agers and the official UFO community to consider the Biblical perspective. A few people got upset enough to walk out and others rolled their eyes in disgust when truth presented was just too much for them. In all however, the crowd was respectful and listened. Like it or not some good hard truths were spoken that needed to be spoken. Afterward I stayed at our table and talked to the crowd.
We found this in the McDonald's parking lot in Roswell the day of the main main events.? a Nazi UFO? A German Nautilus Spacefishcraft? was
Fun with No Alien stickers.
I wonder if she will remember these stickers if someday she may have to chose between Aliens or God?
July 8th
We enjoyed the rest of the trip visiting and meeting some of our friends we left in Roswell. I am not sure when we will get back this way so the short time was treasured on both sides. One couple who had been some of our best supporters during our time in Roswell was moving to Oregon. They were supposed to leave before we came in but they had some problems and were delayed. In that we were able to say our good-byes to each other.
In the mourning it was time to leave and said out final goodbye to our dear friends Mike and Jackie. I was pleased that we did what we had to do. I had wished that things would have been bigger, better in turn out with clergy and active Christians ready to stand in the gap and perhaps someday that can still happen. But for now, they continue to reject the opportunities offered to them. I did not feel like literally wiping the dust off my feet to Roswell but then in a sense I felt that was what I was doing. Until another day....

Purchasing your first Adelaide property is probably one of the biggest investments you'll make – whether it's your first home, family living space or even part of a growing property portfolio.
You'll want to make sure that you're fully aware of everything about the building and a handover Adelaide building inspection can save you from unexpected amounts of time, money and stress.
What is a handover building inspection?
A handover building inspection results in a report which clearly identifies any defects, issues and items which must be repaired or completed to an adequately high standard for residential construction, prior to handover of the building and at practical completion of an Adelaide property.
Often the handover building inspectors will work directly with builders or roofing contractors to alert them to exactly what works needs doing, even identifying and marking specific areas for them to note.
The inspection is generally carried out by qualified professionals who should also then provide supporting documentation with the report which you will be able to refer back to in the case that future disputes occur between you and other parties, including the builders or the vendor.
When do I need a handover building inspection?
It's best to have a handover building inspection about a week before the handover occurs. This will be recent enough to ensure nothing major will change yet still give you a little time if any action does need to be taken.
Why do I need a handover building inspection?
Having a building inspection that is fully updated close to your handover will insure that everything is documented and could become a crucial report to refer to if any issues arise after you have moved into the property.
A handover building inspection produced by an experienced and efficient external company will also save you from dealing directly with builders or tradesmen and having to explain the findings or what needs doing. This will allow you to concentrate fully on the many other aspects of moving home that you'll be involved with and alleviate stress for you at a busy time.
Peace of mind is one of the biggest things you'll gain from a handover building inspection. It's an assurance that you really are going to get what you pay for as it'll indicate that everything is working exactly as it should be, and if not it'll raise the alarm for you to potentially bring up issues with the vendor.
The other thing to consider is whether you have building inspection insurance.
This could leave you with room to negotiate on the price of the house or to save yourself from potential costs of being left with the repair work yourself.

A bit of background from Kleiss' article: In April 2002, the Edmonton Journal and the Calgary Herald published an editorial, titled "Apocalyptic Creed", in which strong language was used to condemn the use of suicide bombers, and to suggest the death of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy might have been used in a propaganda campaign urging children to martyrdom. A flurry of letters to the editor resulted, along with human-rights complaints filed by nine organizations.
With his senior officer's support, a human-rights investigator decided that the editorial did expose certain groups to hatred and contempt and forwarded a decision to a director for review in January 2005. The Edmonton Journal filed a notice of motion in July 2006 that argued neither the commission nor the province had the jurisdiction to decide the issue. "Political speech can't be the subject of provincial human-rights legislation," he said. "This was political speech, and the Supreme Court of Canada settled that issue many years ago with the Alberta Press Bill case."
Kleiss: "From our perspective, it is a victory for freedom of expression," Journal editor-in-chief Allan Mayer said. "There's a huge difference between a provocative editorial and hate literature, and that distinction has been clearly made by this human-rights ruling. Lorne Motley, editor-in-chief of the Calgary Herald, said this is clearly a victory for press freedom.
