Let's pretend for 1 minute that it is Monday 30th December 2013. After a busy holiday schedule, it is now time for the Liverpool staff and fans to look at the number of points collected by the team. How is this going to impact on the team's January transfer activity? and how is it planning out the rest of the season? title/ top4/ top6 contenders?
My straight forward answer to that would be NO for both questions.
Everybody knows what Liverpool's flaws are and hopefully Brendan Rodgers will address that sooner rather than later. However, as mentioned in his pre-match press conference today, he will not rush in buying players just for the sake of doing so. The appropriate player should be available at the appropriate price. He has proven that it is possible 12 months ago by bringing in Sturridge and Coutinho who have done great at the club since.
Despite having 10 recognised defenders in the first team squad, Liverpool's defence has been quite porous this season. BR has tried different formations – 2 or 3 CBs – with different player combinations but has yet to find the solution. Another weakness in this defence is the left back position. With Jose Enrique out due to injury, young Joe Flanagan has come in. Don't get me wrong, he put in a great performance in the Everton game and has been decent since coming in but just lacks that extra bit of quality and experience. Watch out for the words 'decent', 'quality' and 'experience'.
People have been crying out for BR to get another defensive midfielder to either replace Lucas or at least provide some competition. While this would be good, I think a combination of the likes of Lucas, Gerrard, Allen and Henderson will have to do for now.
You must have been living under a rock or out of this world to not know that Coutinho has been phenomenal for Liverpool since joining them last winter. It was there for everyone to see, the lack of creativity in the Liverpool side when the Brazilian magician was out due to injury earlier this season. Having said that, I would not mind another of BR's tricks to bring in a quality playmaker in January, with a lot of people pointing to Mata who seem to be out of Mourinho's plans.
Liverpool's forwards, what else to say except for the phenom Suarez and his striking partner Sturridge. Unfortunately the latter is injured and all the responsibility has fallen on Suarez's shoulders and how he responded to the challenge? Well everybody knows… 4 goals against Norwich and another 2 against West Ham. Yes, these are middle to bottom table teams but still that amount of goals are remarkable. Aspas was brought in during the summer transfer window but has yet to impress and is also coming back from injury. Only time will tell whether he's able to adapt to the team and show us what he's really made of.
All in all, I think that Liverpool should strive to get a left back and an attacking midfield during the January transfer window and if a defensive midfield comes available at the right price, then go for that too.
As for the table standings come May, as I have said since the beginning of the season, Liverpool will be challenging for the top 4. Despite being second now, they do not have the quality yet to be title contenders – not that I would mind if they prove me wrong.

I won't lie to you, I just about skipped with delight when Charlotte Tilburry's makeup range arrived at their new stand in Brown Thomas. I mashed myself in between all the bodies trying to get a nosy at the beauteous products I had heard so much about. I got the chance to join some other beauty bloggers and really explore the brand. I am in love!
Isa Dora Bella Vita Spring Makeup Collection – Pics, Swatches & Review
Essence Vintage District Collection – Swatches & Pics
Lancome In Love Collection 2013 Review, Pics & Swatches
I've decided to do my own little awards ceremony on makeupandbeauty.ie for a bit of fun. I'll keep them coming…
Here are my favourite eye liners of 2009:
Loreal Contour Kajal: I pick up this liner at some stage every day. I use it on my water line and it stays put. Mine is black, it's pigmented, easy to blend and doesn't budge when it sets.
MAC Fluidline – This is probably my favourite liner of 2009. The main reason for this is that it's the quickest and easiest to apply. I use a slanted liner brush to apply. It's cost €7 more than the Avon equivalent but it's 10 times better. I'll be picking up this goodie in other colours.
L'Oreal Super Liner : This is a great liquid liner. The nib is easy to work with and it gives a high shine line to the eye. This one is great for winged liner.
Urban Decay 24/7 Liners – My favourite is Zero (black). These are the most pigmented and smoothest liners I have tried this year. I'm a massive fan! As liners go these are foolproof. The only downside is that they need to be sharpened with every use.
Disappointments of 2009: Eye Liners
Bobbi Brown Gel Liner – Loved it while it was fresh but after a few months of everyday use it congealed. I only got a third of the way down the pot before it was unusable. So as I much as I loved it I won't be re-buying.
Make up For Ever Retractable Liner – After a week the liner fell into the container.
Avon Liner Pot: I found these hard to work with and not as pigmented as Mac Fluidline. I used them twice and never touched them again.
What's your favourite eyeliner or 2009?

In an effort to curb gang activity at Griffith Manor Park, parks officials are recommending that the city establish a basketball club league there.
Often, youth from the northwest area of Glendale tell police officers that there's nothing for them to do, officials said. To prevent idle hands from indulging in criminal activity, the hope is that the basketball league will give youth an activity.
"We want to prove to them there is something to do," said Glendale Police Officer Josh Luna after the Parks, Recreation & Community Services Commission approved the program Monday afternoon.

Mountain View Hotel Review - 17 of 26 Reviews
This is a hotel review for Mountain View Hotel in Kyrenia, North Cyprus
"Needs Attention"
The hotel has a general run down appearance.
The lift does not work and we are told that it has not worked for four months.
It is advetised that there is WiFi but for the 8 days that we were there it was not working and we had to stand at the recption counter and plug into their computer.
On two days our room was not serviced and on a thrid day we had to complain and then someone came and cleaned it.
Breakfast started OK but less and less was offered the longer we stayed.
The staff were very nice and did their best to help us.
We would not stay here again.

Log cabins available nowadays are designed to tick all sort of boxes and to meet our requirements in the modern age. In particular the Trentan 'Mayford' is a very special multi room log cabin with its two rooms. The modern look of the building will look proud in your garden and the recessed veranda is useful and particularly attractive.
When buying a log cabin the best advice is to visit a display site so you can examples for yourself. Only by doing this can you be sure you are not buying a 'dud'. We will be delighted to see you at our display site in Surrey where you can see many examples of wooden garden cabins.
Log cabins available nowadays are designed to tick all sort of boxes and to meet our requirements in the modern age. The 'Mayford', in particular, is a very special luxurious log cabin with its two rooms. The modern look of the building will look proud in your garden and the recessed veranda is useful and particularly attractive. Add in coloured lights in there and it will take on a new look at night.

The modern contemporary design is very special, however, it does comes with Georgian window bars to create a Georgian effect if that suits you or your family. These little options shows the thought which has goes into the design. This helps to back up the fact that it's your choice so should suit you.
Top notch quality timber used and you won't find any cheap and nasty materials in it. Unsuitable materials such as chipboard, OSB boards a sheet materials, which are all totally unsuitable, find their way into these log cabins for sale made down to a price. But not these 'Mayford' cabins which are made to a standard - not down to a price. The 'Mayford' log cabins have features not available anywhere else on their doors and windows.

All timber comes from renewable resources, naturally.

After a day of rumors and counter-rumor, the only one that now remains is that we will stay here for some time. The Colonel pulled a fancy one and landed a twin-motor Beechcraft with the wheels up _ Simply forgot. All the men, including me, are hacked at staying here. First, we want to get at the Jape _ second, we think the British pulled a fast one to hold us here. Third, we don't like the prospect of being under General Maxwell, an Ordinance General. Fourth, we think U.S. should keep its promise to China. Here General Whang, the second man of China _ successor to Chiang Kai-shek - spent months trying to get us to China to help relieve the pressure and now we are stymied. Hear we might have a mission tomorrow night to the desert. Heard also that the convoy we saved had 72 ships full of troops to start pressure on Italy and Sicily. Something big is afoot" for all the big wigs, the 30,000' and ETA men, conferred for some time today. Some reinforcements came for us and one ship got back from taking the General (Whang) to India; and one from. Khartoum. (that had been delayed at U.S. because of gas tank trouble). The boys from India brought some cokes along and sold them for $1.00 a bottle; the last two selling for #2.50. Some guys will do anything for money. But that gives an idea of how much we do miss American products.

The Internet of Things Gets its First Marketplace Thanks to New ThingWorx Launch
Over the last 18 months or so, ThingWorx has developed and evolved its M2M, model-based design and search-based application development platform enough to have become the leading player in the space. It is commonly estimated that companies that using the platform – either as a standalone platform or in combination with their own existing platforms – typically result in as much as a 10x savings in development time. This is substantial and plays a key role in reducing cost, risk and – most importantly – time to market.

Roosevelt, N.Y., Mother Receives Full-Tuition Scholarship to Ashford University
Williams Chosen from More Than 46,000 Project Working Mom Applicants from Across the Country
Regina Williams, a mother of two who works full-time at the United States Bankruptcy Court while raising her children, has been awarded an Ashford University full-tuition scholarship as a part of Project Working Mom.
To earn the scholarship, Williams submitted an essay about her higher education aspirations. Her entry was selected out of more than 12,000 Ashford University applicants to the Project Working Mom scholarship program, developed by eLearners.com, a Web resource of EducationDynamics. Ashford University awarded 10 full-tuition scholarships.
Williams, 50, whose son was born with two physical deformities as well as being mentally retarded, returned to work to help support her family when her child was only four months old. "The diagnosis was earth shattering for me. I was torn and broken but had a level of faith that sustained me then and throughout the years," Williams said.
"Over the years, my son has had four operations and has attended four special needs schools. He is now being main-streamed in Long Beach High School. While he is still labeled 'mentally retarded,' he is somehow able to produce a quality of work that allows his instructors to teach him in all areas of academics."
In her essay, Williams wrote, "My desire to go back to school is so that I can start a business to aid families of special needs children. This business will be a resource center for families online and have a location for parents to bring their special needs children for recreation. I am prepared to take whatever steps necessary to reach this goal.
"My education will open doors not only to me, but to other families in helping them know that there is someone out there that understands and is willing to help them through the hardest times of their lives."
She will be attending Ashford University to obtain a bachelor's degree in Organizational Management (Child Studies).

Success & Healthy Eating
Success through healthy eating habits
Food is a critical part of human existence. It is not given the status that it deserves in terms of influencing how successful an individual becomes. Watching what you eat will help you to keep in shape and also improve your mental capabilities. These are now indisputable facts that are supported by lots of research. The research has gone so far as to suggest that food has the ability to lock and unlock genetic material. This simply means food can cause a change in the mental and physical characteristics of an individual at the DNA level. It has been demonstrated that food can cause agouti mice to change from being prone to cancer, fat and yellow to being Brown and skinny. This is not news to tech savvy moms who would have encountered this at prenatal care sites.
Swedish scientists documented the link between long life and abundance of food. According to their findings, the more food that the grandfather had access to the earlier the grandchild is likely to die. The cause of the death would be heart disease and diabetes.
The case has been made that the more conscious we are of the food we eat, the better quality of life we live. Then it should also be true that food can influence the characteristics that increase success such as confidence, even when you are playing video games, online gaming, driving, going to the gym, you must eat the right food. Worker bees and Queen Bees are genetically identically but have different diets. The difference in diet results in the vast physical and behavioural changes. This is because the "jelly" that the Queen bees are fed suppresses the default gene. That gene is the one that turns all the other bees into worker bees.
As science continues to progress maybe we will be able to unlock a lucky gene. Then we can win some life changing jackpots that make self-preservation even more worthwhile. Until then the evidence suggests that eating smaller quantities of more organic food is key to a more successful life.

I signed a six year contract and I want to win six titles, insists Man City skipper Kompany
Vincent Kompany is in many ways a footballer for a new generation. Fluent in a handful of languages, university educated and, now, an ambassador for a charity that trains foster parents for under-privileged children.
Deep in his heart, though, the Manchester City captain remains a footballer first and foremost. When it matters, he thinks and speaks with a ruthlessness characteristic of some of our game's most influential players.
Asked about his thoughts on his new contract, he said simply: 'I have signed a six-year deal, so there are six titles possible within those years, so you know what? I want to get them all.
More of this: Vincent Kompany would love to add six more titles to his collection
'It probably won't happen, but we will see in six years' time. I will try everything for that.'
Kompany flew back to England from Asia on Sunday morning after picking up a calf injury in a victory over Arsenal in Beijing last Friday. City expect him to be fit in time for the Community Shield game against Chelsea a week on Sunday.
Described last week by City manager Roberto Mancini as one of the world's best central defenders, Kompany has a Barclays Premier League title and FA Cup to show for his time at the club. In recent weeks he has heard suggestions from Manchester United that they remain the team to beat. It doesn't bother him.
'We have a competition on our hands, it's clear,' he smiled.
'You can clearly see all the other teams have reacted to what happened last season and come out stronger.
'But I think we'll come out stronger too because we're one season further down the line in terms of playing together.
'That lack of familiarity was always our problem.
'I have heard comments from other people but what did our manager say for the last six games of last season? That we'd lost the title.
'Mind games, mind games. It's like I said last year: If you win you're right, if you lose you're always wrong, so I can't focus on that at the moment.
'All I can focus on is really what's important now is getting our team to full-strength, like we were last season. And, regardless of the opposition, we need to better ourselves.
'For me, I would find it a shame next season if we didn't manage to improve again.
'For the four seasons I've been at this club we've finished 10th, fifth, third and now first.
Upward curve: Kompany insists City can still improve
'I still think there's a big margin for us to improve, and that's all I'm looking for really, whether our main competitor is United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or Tottenham.
'I think the biggest mistake we could make would be to focus just on our neighbours, as there are a lot of other teams in the competition.
'If other teams want to call themselves favourites then fine, be our guest. All we're trying to do is be better than last season.'
Kompany was only in Asia for less than five days with City. He did manage, though, to visit the SOS charity in Beijing. An organisation that trains and develops foster parents, it has received personal donations from the Belgian in the past.
Kompany keeps many things like that under the radar. On the field, though, he hopes to lead his team through a season that will present its own challenges to the defending champions and will once again bring opportunities in the Champions League.
'Everything in time,' he said.
Not serious: Kompany's injury will not hamper his participation at the start of the season
'You know, last year was our first participation in the Champions League and I'm convinced we will have a better run this year. But everything in time.
'At the moment, we have to prove ourselves to England.
'Hopefully, Europe and the world will come later.' Committed now to City until the end of the 2018 season, Kompany received overtures from Barcelona before signing his new contract. Not surprising, then, that he is looking forward to Mancini strengthening his squad.
Asked about Arsenal's Robin van Persie, he said: 'He is a player who has improved so much.
'I started playing against him five or six years ago, but his performances last season were unbelievable.
'A player like this would be an incredible addition to any team that he joined.
'His movement is near perfection and the stats show his finishing. He has led by example at Arsenal, so yes, he is a great player.
'I think we will improve anyway, whether we need new players is up to the manager. I only know that, even if we don't, we will improve naturally anyway.
Fantastic addition: Kompany backed his club's pursuit of Robin van Persie
'I'm not going to give names, but the opportunity was there for me to start negotiating with other clubs, definitely.
'But I wanted to stay at City and I think the six-year deal is a statement of my ambitions at the club.
'I have had a good spell here and it would have been easy to play clubs against each other, but it wasn't my intention.
'If I can put out a statement with this contract, and show my team-mates and everybody else that City is a club for the long-term, then I am pleased to do it.
'I want to drag everybody with me.'
Vincent Kompany was speaking at the launch of a partnership between SOS Children's Village Beijing and Manchester City FC. Vincent has visited projects all over the world including Congo, Vietnam and China during his association with SOS. This new partnership will see the Club fund the training of 120 foster parents, ensuring a higher level of care for more than 1,200 orphaned children.

It is not always possible for individuals to attend in-house professional development courses. In an age where so much is done via mobile, it is only logical that learning be delivered this way too.
At the Bristall Group, we teach in micro-courses of 15 minutes, using a live instructor and internet-based video channels like Skype, Zoom and GoToMeeting.
These sessions allow individuals to build their skills on their own time, at a very reasonable price. Students can purchase one session, a group of sessions, or a department can purchase a group and divide them among the staff.
The best part is, each student gets to learn what he/she needs in a confidential and supportive session, available anytime between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. EST.

Day 2 – A Speed Date: Discipline Meets Balance
The Discipline Experiment (see previous Day 1 – the Discipline Experiment post) is underway. I'm on a second day of blogging. At first I did not think I had anything to write, but I held myself accountable. I developed some of my personal background noise and–BOOM BANG–I have LOTS to say (typical JAJA). Today personal accountability and discipline meet balance briefly for a quick interview round. Let me introduce the Balance Study.
Eastern philosophy would have me believe "the answer" is simply balance, nothing more and nothing less. According to major Tao and Buddhist philosophers, my smart friends, every women's magazine at the checkout stand, and Oprah, balance is supposedly the key to everything, especially for the "I want to have it all" generation. But most of the time I am busy yo-yo dieting, binge drinking, speed dating, running around like a chicken with my head cut off, and exploiting an already unhealthy amazon.com account. Why do I fail to internalize and implement balance? What holds me back from internalizing and implementing the idea of balance? Is it the high I get when I am up at 110% or is it because in my society, all I have ever known is overdrive, overconsumption, and overabundance? Is it the pressure from my parents I grew up under to overachieve or else? Is it the glamorization of epic winners, athletes, celebrities, people of the year, that keep me from reasonable goals with reasonable plans? Is it the glamorization I have been conditioned to associate with one in a million stories rather than with the slow and steady turtle that wins the race?
Well, WHAT IS IT? Guess what? I have the answer! The answer is..(drumroll)….WHO CARES! The answer is you cannot control the past, your environment, or reactions and traits developed as a result of unmonitored development. The things you can control are yourself, the way you can be, and how you move forward with your development. Just as accountability is heavily intertwined with discipline, so it is with balance. To manage my balance, I need to think about it, monitor it, and consider how my actions are contributing to either its stability or instability.
To be continued…

I'm just saying: Ray of Light was totally my club song when I went out to the teen-friendly dance clubs in my past life when I was a taller girl once, too.
I totally sang during that AWESOME cheerleading routine set to Ray of Light. It was brilliant that Sue Sylvester brought Madonna into Lima High. Sue would so admire Madonna's ruthlessness. And I mean that in a good way. ♥
There were multiple storylines in this episode! Kurt got to shine (holy shit, he and Mercedes rocked it) and I am so happy that there was development on the Tina & Artie front. Even though he was a total DICK to her at the beginning of this episode.
Okay, I have a criticism of Glee (what? no one ever criticizes this show!): I'm annoyed that the guy in the Like a Virgin sequence was the ONLY one to lose his virginity. Lame. Perhaps this is my own issues coming to the forefront, as I placed absolutely no fucking "value" on my virginity, and I'm kind of tired of no girls being shown to not give a damn about it.
Well, I mean, Santana clearly was whatever about it, since that wasn't her first time at the rodeo. Oh, and wow to Naya's voice. It stands out very nicely and I hope she gets more solos, damn.
Okay, as being a fan of Rachel is like being a Never Nude ("There are dozens of us! Dozens!"), I'm very disappointed that the Rachel who I LOVED for sticking it to the abstinence club when she declared that girls want sex as much as guys do has been forgotten in favor of a Rachel who isn't able to verbalize the better issue that should have been played out: she doesn't trust Jesse, deep down, the way she does with Finn (as duh, love triangle is clearly in play). Wouldn't that have been better? Some acknowledgement on that front? I want to...but not with you.
Meh, it's problematic and doubled up with Emma's own hangups just makes me disappointed.
Girls do want sex, too, okay and we would like not to be punished for it.
I'm pretty sure Madonna wrote a song about that.
Back to the shiny: almost everything else ESPECIALLY when Sue makes fun of Will and Brittany says anything, ever.
- It was great to see that Becky is still a part of the Cheerios!
- Figgins being kind to Sue was weird yet worked. Huh.
- Um, Will? You do realize that no one leaves Vocal Adrenaline ALIVE, right? Like, remember that waiter kid who said he was left back several times because he could do a super-awesome back spring? Like Idina Mendzel is ever going to give up her star.
- "Rachel come out of there so we can talk. Or we could sing about it." Hee.
- I need more Glee. What is this, I don't even.
Oh wait, I do. Fuckin' miracle.

The Day of Silence is a student-led national event in USA that brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. Students from middle school to college take some form of a vow of silence in an effort to encourage schools and classmates to address the problem of anti-LGBT behavior. The event is designed to illustrate the silencing effect of this bullying and harassment on LGBT students and those perceived to be LGBT.
In 1996, students at the University of Virginia, USA organized the first Day of Silence in response to a class assignment on non-violent protests. Over 150 students participated in this inaugural DOS. In 1997, organizers took their effort nationally and nearly 100 colleges and universities participated. In 2001, GLSEN became the official organizational sponsor for the event.
GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, is the leading national education organization focused on ensuring safe schools for all students. Established nationally in 1995, GLSEN envisions a world in which every child learns to respect and accept all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.

For over a hundred and sixty years, "the shack" has stood the test of time against the elements. This shack, now known as the Whalers Cabin, overlooks Whalers Cove and Carmel Bay in the Point Lobos State Reserve. The Whalers Cabin survived the rise and fall of the whaling industry and has been preserved as a cultural museum.
The Whalers Cabin was first constructed by Chinese fisherman in the mid-19th century. At one time, the area was home to as many as ten cabins, comprising a fishing village. The cabin had many occupants over the years, from the Chinese, Portuguese, Japanese and many others. During the height of the Whaling industry, the Carmel Bay Whaling Company operated in Point Lobos. By 1900, the Whaling industry was in a sharp decline, with only 16 companies operating with about 300 men employed between them all. The last owner of the Point Lobos was A.M. Allan, who sold the land to the California State Parks in 1933. The family sold the land so that it could be preserved for future generations.
In 1986, an archaeological dig was conducted on the cabin's floor, which fills in the gaps of the historical records of the time. The dig concluded that when the Chinese lived there, the floor was hard packed earth. Later, a pine floor supported by granite chunks was installed. Whale vertebrae also served as the foundation. There is an oak floor, which was the most recent addition. There was evidence of Japanese occupants as well. Following the completion of the dig, the cabin was raised to install a stabilizing foundation for the cultural museum.
Lead by docent Kurt Loesch, the search began for the artifacts and materials that would showcase the rich history of the shack. Descendants of families that had lived at Point Lobos donated memorabilia and photos. Historical records and newspaper archives were collected. The Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History and the California Academy of Science in San Francisco either donated or loaned artifacts as well.
Today, the Whalers Cabin features Chinese fishing equipment, Portuguese diaries, and Japanese photographs, among many other items. There are displays of whaling tools, whale-oil barrels, harpoons and a model of a shore whaling boat. Outside the Whalers Cabin lies a variety of whale bones from a Humpback Whale.

Voting Advice Applications have gained a large popular audience over the last decades, but their design has not been studied very elaborately. These tools ask voters for their opinion on a number of salient issues in an election and then present the 'best match' between the user's preferences and the policy preferences of the political parties in a country. In a number of projects, together with different colleagues I have begun to unravel these issues of VAA design. The main question of these studies is: how can we be sure that these tools provide voters with good advice?

The success of a business partnership can all come down to the simple decisions that are made along the way.
As well as ensuring that you have a well constructed business partnership agreement that protects all parties involved, there are various strategies a partnership can implement in order to reduce the potential for risks and improve future opportunities.
Plan ahead
When first embarking on a business partnership there should be a shared sense of direction for the business future. Understanding what each partner expects from the partnership is vital when working to make those plans a reality through compromise and good business sense.
As time progresses it is easy to lose sight of your initial goals as you are focusing on the everyday running of the business. However, planning for the future is essential for business success and so it is important that you and your partners take the time to regularly discuss those aims, and what each of you is doing to actively pursue your ambitions for the business.
Planning for the future and staying on top of your finances go hand in hand. By taking on an accountant, partners are able to maintain an in depth knowledge of the business revenue, profits and losses without relying on their own financial acumen and risking mistakes. Alternatively, it may be that your business partnership is structured around one partners strengths focused on managing the business, while the other partners abilities and experience are in finance.
Whether you maintain your business finances yourself or have an accountant, it is up to the partners as managers of the business to make reliable estimates mapping out your annual revenue. This should take into account how and when money is coming in, and what is required to achieve your revenue expectations; the necessary outgoings such as marketing, resources and staffing needed to keep the business running.
Worst case scenario
There are many risks involved in running a business, particularly in a partnership with shared liability. A secure partnership agreement can protect partners when a worst case scenario occurs by putting provisions in place.
For example, the terms of a partnership agreement might include what happens to the business in the case of:
- A partner leaving the business; whether the partner retires, decides to leave or dies, without a partnership agreement the business is automatically subject to the terms of the Partnership Act 1890, which states that of a partner leaves the business is immediately dissolved.
- Shared liability; a partnership agreement allows business partners to put strict stipulations in place for the liability of each partner. For instance, in a limited liability partnership (LLP), partners are afforded the flexibility to agree from the beginning the capital each will contribute, the working hours each is expected to put in and the division of profit and loss. If the terms of an LLP are broken in any circumstance there are agreed upon measures in place to deal with the situation.
- Bankruptcy; If a partner files for bankruptcy and there is no partnership agreement in place, the business is automatically dissolved and all parties involved are jointly liable for the business debts. A partnership agreement can protect partners individual assets so that if one partner is forced to file for bankruptcy, it does not affect the financial situation of the remaining partners.
Building a secure business future
There are few predictable aspects in business and so it is crucial to protect your business and partners in the areas you can. Planning for the future, being financially astute and creating a partnership agreement tailored specifically to meet the nature of your business can go some of the way to securing your business success.
If you would like more information on how to get the best out of your business, the team at Ralli partnership law are experienced in helping a range of companies put together bespoke partnership agreements.
We cater for individual partner requirements in any organisation, and will help you draft an agreement that you are happy with. To find out more or get in touch with the team at Ralli, please contact us today on 0161 832 6131.

Laura Raynak
Raynak Search - Executive Search Professionals
Interview with Laura Raynak, President of Raynak Search Inc.
Stanford Biodesign's collaboration between the school of medicine and engineering, is producing world leading innovators creating great medical devices. Where knowledge of life and engineering sciences have grown exponentially, a collaborative approach to solving problems is bearing fruit. By May 2014, a Stanford Biodesign funded project, the Jaipur Knee, had been deployed in more than 6,000 patients. In another win, Manu Prakash, Professor of Bioengineering was featured on TED talks introducing his $0.50 microscope made from readily accessible paper. By expanding the development dialogue beyond the traditional disciplines, Stanford shows that innovation results from educated collaboration among disparate participants. Stanford Biodesign provides a world leading environment, program and process for students to study the world of medicine and engineering.
Stanford Biodesign contributions extend in many directions beyond their primary focus. Other organizations are adopting similar collaborative models with stories of success. The collaborative approach that works between science and engineering is having early successes in social sciences such as investing and finance. From the phenomenal successes in micro lending to angel investing groups to professional peer groups, the power of collaboration is evident and appears to be growing. One off-shoot of the collaborative approach is Laura Raynak and Raynak Search. As a Bay Area power broker in the medical technology industry, Laura Raynak helps companies grow through focused talent scouting. If the proper fit for an executive position is critical, Laura is one Executive recruiter that can help.
One source of Laura's strength is her entrenched collaboration with professional colleagues at the Healthcare Trusted Advisors Group. For the last 8 years, Laura, and a Bay area corporate lawyer, a Big 4 accounting partner, an investment banker, a VC, venture lender and reimbursement professional meet monthly for a working lunch. Lunch provides time to share notes on who is doing what, where, when and who should be introduced to whom. 3 rules exist in addition to each member upholding the highest ethical and professional standards.

Sometimes the line between self-care and selfishness is a little blurry. Dr Schomer says that there should be a balance between the two.
He says there is a time to give to others and a time to take care of yourself. Focusing only on one of the two could lead to a burnout, he says.
According to Dr Schomer people need to learn how to say NO without feeling guilty.
Pleasing other people can lead you to disregard yourself— Dr Helgo Schomer, resident psychologist

Mad Men casting call, I thought it would be fun to send in my own submission as well. I already knew I had a great dress for it. An $8 thrift store purchase.
I knew we needed a good background for the photos so I suggested we head over to University Circle where Case Western Reserve's campus sits. Thankfully my big sis went to school there so I know the lay of the land. I remembered an old dormitory that is now used as offices and classrooms for the English Department—it's where I belong. It has yellow paneling and white window details with a big porch and columns; it's Guilford House. I thought some closeups would give it the feel of a nicer old home from the 60s. So I plopped myself on the porch railing, looking all dolled up and waiting for my husband to come home—that was the motivation anyways. So if you like what you see, please vote here. You can vote daily, as you can tell, because some people already have over 1,000 votes.
Over all it was a lot of fun to check out the house and get dressed up. I am excited to watch the premiere this Sunday.

The story we are offering to tell will follow the evolution of our ancestors: we will go from Africa, to Asia, to Oceania, to Europe and to the Americas. Our story will span several hundred thousands of years. And in terms of dramatic progression, the film will articulate itself around several themes whose titles suggest our very first behaviors: speaking, creating, inventing, writing, and ruling. These verbs will be studied in their larger sense, and will allow us to explore the various facets of humanity as they became more and more ingrained throughout our journey around the planet. These verbs will also structure how the 52-minute episodes will be edited: the first episode could focus on language, the second on art and culture, and we will work out the third and fourth episodes in our writing phase.
In order to more or less straightforwardly re-enact an incredibly complicated story that spans more than 200.000 years, the films will follow a chronologically linear structure, with substantial flash-forwards allowed now and then. By reminding our audience the scale of time that separates us from our ancestors, we will be able to offer them chronological "markers".

Then while still on the pallet to protect the root ball, the plants are dunked in our dip tank to get more water into the ball. This does not turn the ball to mud, but it does allow the irrigation to maintain moisture in the ball and the plant. After the plants are shipped, it's your turn to water twice a week until the ground freezes.

The following is an except of a 17 May 2018 CPJ Blog post by Jacquelyn Iyamah, CPJ Gender and Media Freedom Fellow.
To mark the annual International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, CPJ spoke with journalists and news outlets based in Argentina, Iran, Indonesia, the U.S., Uganda, and Russia, about the challenges they face reporting on LGBTQ issues.
Country: Argentina
Agencia Presentes, an organization founded in 2016 by human rights journalists Ana Fornaro and María Eugenia Ludueña, reports on violence against LGBTQI communities in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Honduras. Fornaro told CPJ that its staff are regularly threatened or harassed online when they publish articles or share them on social media. Fornaro said that Agencias Presentes and the people it reports on also receive threats when the organization investigates allegations of police violence against transgender individuals. Fornaro said the threats have not made Agencias Presentes afraid to cover these issues, but because of the danger to the people they report on, there are several stories the outlet has been unable to run.
What is it like covering LGBTQ issues in Argentina?
Fornaro: Mostly the threats are on social media, with hate speech. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram - we receive lots of hate comments from trolls. This is a way to put pressure on our job. The threats range from, "You people are sick" to "I hope you die." We erase the comments and block the trolls.
In Argentina, the police criminalize trans people and lesbians with arbitrary detentions on the streets. We extensively cover these types of cases. We receive indirect "warnings" while doing research on a hate crime, prostitution, and the relationship with the police.
The Impact:
Fornaro: We always have to be very careful on how visible we make the victims. Every time a LGBT individual--often a trans person--denounces the police, they risk their lives.
Country: Iran
For the past five years, an Iranian filmmaker has been working on a documentary about a transgender individual. Producing such a documentary in Tehran carries risk for the journalist as well as the people featured in their work. The filmmaker, who asked CPJ to withhold their identity for fear of retaliation from authorities, said that Iran's government is aware of the country's LGBTQ community, but does not want to draw attention to it. Journalists covering sensitive issues in Iran face the risk of arbitrary detention, and the filmmaker told CPJ they believe that authorities keep tabs on them.
What is it like covering LGBTQ issues in Iran?
Filmmaker: The story that I initially began to do documented the LGBTQ scene in Tehran, but eventually the story changed. It became about a transgender woman who fled Iran and now lives as a refugee in Canada.
Around the same that I was working on this story, I applied for a press pass for Iran, and I was never given the press pass. No reason given, for the longest time they delayed it, and then at a certain point they told me there was a lot of sensitivity around my work.

Goodreads Monday is a weekly meme created by Lauren @ Page Turners.
If most of you know, maybe you don't, but Top Ten Tuesdays are currently on a break. So instead I will be posting Goodreads Mondays! This week I grabbed a book from my TBR pile, one of my recent want to reads, and I hope it interests you!
Wanderlost by Jen Malone
Synopsis: Not all those who wander are lost, but Aubree Sadler most definitely is on this novel's whirlwind trip through Europe.
Aubree can't think of a better place to be than in perfectly boring Ohio, and she's ready for a relaxing summer. But when her older sister, Elizabeth, gets into real trouble, Aubree is talked into taking over Elizabeth's summer job, leading a group of senior citizens on a bus tour through Europe.
Aubree doesn't even make it to the first stop in Amsterdam before their perfect plan unravels, leaving her with no phone, no carefully prepared binder full of helpful facts, and an unexpected guest: the tour company owner's son, Sam. Considering she's pretending to be Elizabeth, she absolutely shouldn't fall for him, but she can't help it, especially with the most romantic European cities as the backdrop for their love story.
But her relationship with Sam is threatening to ruin her relationship with her sister, and she feels like she's letting both of them down. Aubree knows this trip may show her who she really is—she just hopes she likes where she ends up.

Last Minute Location
We had planned to take the pictures at their friends house but things did not work out. So when I pulled up they asked if I had another location we could use. I thought for a second and had them follow me. We ended up near some corn fields that gave great color to the photos.

Frustrated by country life and eager for adventure and excitement, seventeen-year-old Tom Button moves to Melbourne to study. Living in a run-down apartment block, he enters a bohemian world of poets and musicians, parties and gallery openings. Soon, however, he is caught up in one of the greatest unsolved art heists of the twentieth century: the infamous theft of Picasso's Weeping Woman.
Set among the demimonde – where nothing and nobody is as they seem – Cairo is a novel about growing up, the perils of first love, and finding your true place in the world.
'Chris Womersley's third novel, Cairo, is as fresh and unexpected as his first two … an accomplished performance from a writer whose advent was dramatic and whose career has consolidated with an impressive power to surprise.' Peter Pierce, The Australian
'A delightfully sensitive tale set in that wistful coming-of-age we would all like to revisit.' Jennifer Byrne, Australian Women's Weekly
'More straight-talking than John Banville, less tricksy than Julian Barnes, Womersley nonetheless shares their interest in the adult man forged in the flames of intense youthful experience. To this he adds the tension – though not necessarily the moral questions – of crime … Womersley is a master of mood, illustrating dingy but exciting Fitzroy, with lively, tender strokes' Estelle Tang, The Saturday Age
'One of the unrepentantly daring and original talents in the landscape of Australian fiction. ' Sydney Morning Herald

Darlene Hinton
May 23, 1935 – Jun 13, 2016
Darlene Hinton was born in Vaughn, Arkansas on May 23, 1935, and died in Seattle, Washington on June 13, 2016. Her parents were Leota Perkins Hood and Vonnie Emerson Hood. The oldest of nine children, she grew up in Bentonville, Arkansas. She was predeceased by two brothers, Von Hood and Forrest Hood. She is survived by six siblings: Mary Drevdahl, Gaye Stein, Charlie Hood, Ivan Hood, Norman Hood, and David Hood. In 1957 she married Walter Ladson Hinton, III, whom she had met in an existentialism seminar at the university of Arkansas. They were married for 59 years and had three children: Walter Ladson Hinton IV, Devon Emerson Hinton, and Alexander Laban Hinton. Their sons married Carolee Tran, Susan Gibbs, and Nicole Cooley. There are six grandchildren: Carina, Mikaela, Kendra, Devon, Jr., Meridian, and Arcadia.
Darlene was a devoted wife and mother, and a beloved, sensitive soul. A naturally spiritual person, she sometimes voiced a connection to the Holy Virgin, although she did not identify with any organized religion. Her interests were varied. She was an expert in rare books, and had a strong and intuitive love of art as well as guitar and country music, especially Jimmie Rodgers and, later, Leonard Cohen. Her home manifested her innate sense of beauty. For several years she worked in real estate. She long had an interest in genealogy, and was the discoverer of many histories. The special meals that she prepared for family and friends were notable for their culinary quality, and for her warmth and hospitality.
After a long decline in health, she died in home hospice care amidst her family. She will be sorely missed.

You always walked with us
When rocky paths we knew
And when your path was all uphill
Did you know we walked with you ?
We walked with you in love and spirit
Tho we were far from you
Till you reached your journey's end
Your life on earth was through
We walk with you no longer
You don't need us any more
Now you walk with Jesus
Who took your hand ar Heaven's door
Now we are fraught with heartache
And we need a steady hand
To help us walk without you
And help us understand
We love you !!

I had many conversations with Darlene about our grandchildren. She was so proud of them and so encouraging of their love of reading and of Meridian's guiar playing and singing. She was a very devoted mother, also. I am praying for her every day.

My fondest memories of grandma are when I came down to visit in Seattle when I was maybe 4 or 5. Grandma always had so many treasures to show me, whether it be old coins or bills or stamps she had in her massive collection, antique knick knacks that sparked my imagination, beanie babies, or old photo albums with pictures of my ancestors. She always helped me to feel in touch with my roots, through photos of our deceased and living relatives, and stories she had stored in her immense knowledge of family genealogy. Our tea parties were a most special memory for me, we would set up all of the beanie babies and serve them food and tea. I love you so much grandma and I miss you, but I know you're enjoying yourself up in heaven. Love, Carina

Nicole, Meridian, Arcadia, and I visited Kyoto's Kiyomizu Temple in Japan yesterday. We lit incense for Mom (aka "Grandma Book") and thought of her spirit when we noticed several small frogs sitting by a pond set in a traditional Japanese rock garden. She loved frogs, gardens, and natural beauty. We miss her greatly.
