How Faded Paint and Decals on Trucks Are
Restored to Original Color by Vivilon Clear Coat Refinishing
With more beverage fleets using their trucks as portable billboards for their products, truck and trailer appearance has become a major concern – and expense –for fleet managers.
Faded body paint and graphics present a poor product image. As a result, fleet managers must find cost-effective ways to keep their trucks looking like new a they get old.
A Florida company has come up with an innovative answer to that problem. Next Step Innovations, Inc., Miami, has developed Vivilon, a nylon-based clear spray-on coating. Vivilon will last for five years without cracking, peeling or
fading, says Bill Rice, Next Step's president and Vivilon's creator.
Rice developed Vivilon roughly 14 years ago, marketing it first for use on school buses. He wanted to create a product that:
In 1989, he expanded Vivilon marketing to the transport arena, selling to such clients as United Parcel Service. Now, Next Step is branching out again, selling to beverage fleets.
In 1994, a government research study recommended Vivilon, saying "Vivilon-coated vehicles turned out with a high-gloss finish that did not require waxing and withstood repeatedly harsh weather conditions and high-pressure washing with strong detergents." Repainting a beverage trailer, for example, can cost from $2,500 to $4,000, Rice estimates.
Coating a truck with Vivilon from Next Step Innovations produces a high-gloss finish that can stand up to harsh weather and strong detergents.
The cost of applying a coat of Vivilon to a 12 bay trailer would be only about $100 assuming a $50 cost for half a gallon of the product and five hours of labor at $10 a hour for a beverage fleet employee to do the work, he says.
After cleaning the truck, any touchup work should be done, preferable with acrylic enamel, and all glass masked. Once the Vivilon has been applied, a second coat can be added to increase the road life of the coating job, he notes. Final touch-up work can be done with acrylic enamel.
A truck treated with Vivilon can be back in service in roughly 90 minutes, he says. Subsequent washings becomes easier because dirt can not work its way into paint pores thanks to the Vivilon coating, he says.
Vivilon also can save fleet managers money when ordering new equipment, Rice says. New trucks and trailers can be speced with acrylic enamel rather than higher-priced but longer-lasting paints. Vivilon can then be applied to extend the road life of the new equipment's paint job, he says.
Next Step sells Vivilon and also will apply the product on-site to fleets of at least 10 vehicles, Rice says. The product comes with a five-year guarantee. Work done by the company also carries a five year guarantee, Rice says.
NOTE: Although prices for both material and labor have increased because of the dramatic jump in oil prices, this article was our introduction to major beverage companies, like Budweiser, Miller, Pepsi, Coke, etc.

Xinhua) -- 44 Taliban militants have been killed in military operations in different Afghan provinces, the Interior Ministry said Monday.
"Afghan National Police (ANP), Afghan army and intelligence agency in collaboration with the NATO-led coalition forces launched seven operations in Kunar, Nangarhar, Kunduz, Wardak, Logar, Paktia and Helmand provinces, killing 44 armed Taliban insurgents and detaining 20 others within the past 24 hours," the ministry said in a statement.
The statement did not disclose if there were any casualties on the side of security forces.
The Taliban insurgents, who have been waging insurgency of more than one decade, have yet to confirm the death toll.

Weekend update!!
Soooo... I built a class to teach, and boy did we have some fun! I was apprehensive... feeling that my teaching skills were rusty, but I did it. We made 6 holiday cards in 2 hours. My kind a gracious students did it!!! They had some homework to do... but they left with all the pieces and parts plus instructions to complete them. I'm pumped!!!
Immediately afterwards, Simon Says Stamp participated on the sales floor of the convention hall. New kids on the block!!! We loved meeting the wonderful people that use our products! Oh it's so rewarding!!!
We sold out of one of my designs, One With Nature...it's a good one for sure and is still available in the online store. I can't tell you how exciting it is to watch others appreciate your creations. YES!
Hope you're enjoying what's left of your weekend... I'll have a special giveaway and announcement tomorrow... stay tuned!

Dish Network suffered a steep decline in pay subscribers in its first fiscal quarter, the satellite TV company revealed Monday.
Some 143,000 net subscribers cancelled their service in the fourth quarter, Dish reported in its first-quarter earnings reports. That's up from 23,000 a year earlier, and that number was way ahead of an expected subscriber loss of 72,000, Reuters reports.
The Colorado company's latest drop in subscribers is part of a larger trend that sees more consumers choose personalized internet streaming bundles over traditional cable and satellite packages.
To that end, the telecom company did report the addition of new customers to its Sling TV streaming service, but did not publish specific numbers. The Sling TV subscriber increases, however, have not been enough to recover the loss of traditional satellite and TV consumers.
According to one estimate from Leichtman Research, Dish lost over 1 million satellite customers while adding 645,000 subscribers to its Sling service in 2016.
Quarterly cash earnings for Dish were also down. The company brought in $376 million, a market decline from $400 million a year ago.
Dish also suffered a loss of approximately 25,000 net broadband subscribers in the first quarter.
American's propensity for cord-cutting has hit even the most established media players in recent weeks. Last week, Disney-owned ESPN began the process of laying off an estimated 100 staffers and employees.

Grantham grandmother Edith proud to receive Maundy money from the Queen
A Grantham grandmother was thrilled to receive commemorative coins from the Queen in the historic Maundy Money ceremony at Windsor Castle.
Eighty-eight-year-old Enid Hewitt was among 184 pensioners to receive the symbolic tokens from Her Majesty on Maundy Thursday last week.
Enid, who lives in Londonthorpe and is still church warden at St John the Baptist Church in the village, was accompanied by her granddaughter, Kirsty Hewitt.
Enid, who has five children and eight grandchildren, also received the Royal Maundy Money in 2000, at Lincoln Cathedral, and her family, as well as friends and church-goers are immensely proud of her achievement.
Enid has always lived in the Grantham area and has been church warden in Londonthorpe for 34 years.
She was previously a lay chaplain at Grantham Hospital and only in the last month has she stopped delivering the village newspapers.
She enjoys writing poems and has published five short poetry books as well as appearing in many larger anthologies.
Enid was one of 92 men and 92 women handed two purses each by the Queen, marking her 92nd birthday this month.
The awards are made in recognition of Christian service to the church and community.
Granddaughter Kirsty said: "Enid was very pleased that the Bishop who accompanied the Queen as she distributed the bags of coins, stopped to tell Her Majesty about Enid's paper round and continuing work for the church.
"They did not appear to stop and talk to many other recipients so this was a very special moment.
"Her photo even made it onto the ITV news."
After the ceremony in St George's Chapel, Enid and the other participants were taken to the state apartments for a reception with drinks and canapés.
He granddaughter added: " We both had an absolutely superb day. It was rather surreal to be entertained in such beautiful surroundings."

As a norm, the temperature on Koh Samui hovers a few degrees on either side of 30. But what's more important is the overall blend of temperature, humidity and wind. Two consecutive days at the same temperature but with different breeze and/or humidity will cause one day to feel baking and the other day only pleasantly warm! That is why on our temperature gauge in the left column we have included the 'real feel' factor. Generally speaking, the weather on Koh Samui is fine and sunny nearly all of the time.
There is a rainy season in Thailand, although areas like Bangkok and Phuket see this at different times. And, unlike the Indian Monsoon, the rainy season on Samui should really be called the 'showery season', with a few hours of rain being followed by broken cloud. It rarely rains non-stop for the whole day.
The 'rainy season' on Samui occurs during the months of late October through until the end of December and usually Christmas and the New Year are rain-free. Samui is at its hottest and driest around the period of Songkran (the Thai New Year) in April, and with variable conditions in-between. Samui has two 'high seasons', the main one being in late December through to March - bookings are definitely needed here! The second high season matches the European holidays in July and August, and the island is well-populated and busy.
January to March
Scattered showers and sunny patches through January, settling into consistently finer weather towards March.
April to June
The Samui 'Summer' with high temperatures and humidity, clear blue skies, red-hot sand and the long local school holidays!
July to September
Things start to cool a little and broken cloud begins to take over, becoming combined with occasional sudden showers as September appears.
October to December
Unpredictable with a mixture of sun and broken cloud in October and November but with the probability of heavy, prolonged tropical thunderstorms dominating November. This usually continues into December, but becoming less frequent and with more sunny periods as the new year approaches.

Art Direction for LAAEL campaign winter '14 collection by bag designer Elja Lintsen
The briefing was to capture the collection concept and its muse. The collection is inspired by 1940s western heroines and cowgirls. Representing a wild world with a chic edge, eliciting an image of a strong and nonchalant woman. A collection that strikes an exciting balance of tough and subtle, wild and the sensual.

Lily Cole's new make up range
4 comments:
When i was younger, and Body Shop first came out I would save every penny to buy treats from there, strawberry shampoos and rich body creams. Now its all over stylised, over priced (apart from the offers, which are very good) and now with L'Oreals influence a little bit shameful. Really good post though, journalistic xReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah I did too. It is definitely overpriced in there and I am one of these people who bargain hunt and save every penny.Delete
Thank you for that, I've never had a comment that said I sounded journalistic before, so thanks :) xx
To be honest I haven't bought anything from the bodyshop for at least 2 years. I find them quite over priced when there are much better brands out there. For example Soap and Glory's bath/skin/body care are much better for a much cheaper price. Good post x :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
The only time I tend to buy from body shop are when I see they have an offer/sale on. I do love the smell of the shop though, so that's always a plus :D xxDelete

Syd Barrett tribute night at the Barbican last week.
Roger Waters didn't sing with the rest of Pink Floyd. What a tosser.
Does time really heal all wounds?
I never bothered to find out what that feud was all about.
All I know is that Dave Gilmour solo pwns Roger Waters solo. Waters should just suck it up. Or Gilmore should just suck it up. Whatever.
Roger Waters took them to court
as he felt he was 'the band' and they were all just his backing musicians which clearly was not the case.
Waters was/is a cunt and it was all about his ego.
that is sad
he could have continued with all the court crap and still made the effort for his dead bandmate.
exactamundo. that all happened in the mid 80s
but yes, you would have thought that at Syd's tribute night, he would have burried the hatchett.
ANYWAY, The Pink Floyd was Barrett's creation - everyone knows that.

About the Book:
A vivid and compelling novel about a woman who becomes entangled in an affair with Edgar Allan Poe—at the same time she becomes the unwilling confidante of his much-younger wife.
It is 1845, and Frances Osgood is desperately trying to make a living as a writer in New York; not an easy task for a woman—especially one with two children and a philandering portrait painter as her husband. As Frances tries to sell her work, she finds that editors are only interested in writing similar to that of the new renegade literary sensation Edgar Allan Poe, whose poem, "The Raven" has struck a public nerve.
She meets the handsome and mysterious Poe at a literary party, and the two have an immediate connection. Poe wants Frances to meet with his wife since she claims to be an admirer of her poems, and Frances is curious to see the woman whom Edgar married.
As Frances spends more and more time with the intriguing couple, her intense attraction for Edgar brings her into dangerous territory. And Mrs. Poe, who acts like an innocent child, is actually more manipulative and threatening than she appears. As Frances and Edgar's passionate affair escalates, Frances must decide whether she can walk away before it's too late...
Set amidst the fascinating world of New York's literati, this smart and sexy novel offers a unique view into the life of one of history's most unforgettable literary figures
About the Author:
Lynn Cullen grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the fifth girl in a family of seven children. She learned to love history combined with traveling while visiting historic sites across the U.S. on annual family camping trips. She attended Indiana University in Bloomington and Fort Wayne, and took writing classes with Tom McHaney at Georgia State. She wrote children's books as her three daughters were growing up, while working in a pediatric office and later, at Emory University on the editorial staff of a psychoanalytic journal. While her camping expeditions across the States have become fact-finding missions across Europe, she still loves digging into the past. She does not miss, however, sleeping in musty sleeping bags. Or eating canned fruit cocktail. She now lives in Atlanta with her husband, their dog, and two unscrupulous cats.
Lynn Cullen is the author of The Creation of Eve, named among the best fiction books of 2010 by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and as an April 2010 Indie Next selection. She is also the author of numerous award-winning books for children, including the young adult novel I Am Rembrandt's Daughter, which was a 2007 Barnes & Noble "Discover Great New Writers" selection, and an ALA Best Book of 2008. Her novel, Reign of Madness, about Juana the Mad, daughter of the Spanish Monarchs Isabella and Ferdinand, was chosen as a 2011 Best of the South selection by the Atlanta Journal Constitution and was a 2012 Townsend Prize finalist. Her newest novel, MRS. POE, examines the fall of Edgar Allan Poe through the eyes of poet Francis Osgood.
My Review of the Book:
The Mrs. Poe is fabulous! Yes, I had to get straight to the point first. I did not want there to be any questions at all about if I recommend Mrs. Poe or not. I happened to be at work one day and came across a shipment of new books for the library. The cover on this book caught my attention and I decided to see what the book was about. I had never read anything by Lynn Cullen before, but I did know who Edgar Allen Poe was from English both in high school and university! I have to admit though, I knew nothing about his life outside of him being a poet.
Mrs. Poe is historical fiction, but it was fun to learn there was quite a bit of truth to the book as well. Some of the information that was told in the book can be found and researched within the literary world, but of course we can not know the whole story of what happened in their lives back in the 1800's. I loved the story Lynn Cullen told and her interpretation of the love triangle that many believed to be true. However, even if you did not believe in the love triangle or if your not even interested in Edgar Allen Poe or anything to do with his life I would still recommend to get a copy of Mrs. Poe. I guarantee it will be a fascinating book to read and without a doubt keep one entertained.
Personally I found the book hard to put down and definitely moved it to one of my top books for reader recommendations to family, friends or anyone in general looking for a new great book to read. I am looking forward to checking out other books by Lynn Cullen!
Views expressed are 100% my own and not influenced in anyway. I was not supplied anything in exchange for this review.

tv CBS Evening News With Scott Pelley CBS September 13, 2012 6:30pm-7:00pm EDT
6:30 pm
>> pelley: tonight, we take you inside the consulate where the u.s. ambassador was killed. >> every single room in every single building on this compound looks like this. >> pelley: charlie d'agata in benghazi, libya. plus, david martin on who might be behind the attack. and wilwilon spreading anti-american violence. the federal reserve pumps more money into the economy. wyatt andrews on who will benefit and who won't. the drought and tough choices. jim axlerod with a man who helps decide where the water will go. and a final good-bye to the first man on the moon from the last. >> farewell, my friend. captioning sponsored by cbs
6:31 pm
this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> pelley: good evening. if a single picture captured the story of the day, it had to be this one. protesters bashing a heavily fortified door in the middle eastern country of yemen, the sign they've ripped down says, "embassy of the united states." anti-american violence spread in the region today, fueled by anger or a once-obscure internet movie that ridicules islam, a film produced in the united states but one that has been condemned by the u.s. government. a mob attacked but did not break in to the u.s. embassy in yemen. in telephone calls today, president obama be thanked the president of yemen for condemning this embassy attack, but he told the president of egypt that the embassy there needs to be better protected. all of this, of course, comes a day after the u.s. ambassador to libya and three other americans
6:32 pm
were killed in a fiery assault on the u.s. consulate in benghazi, libya. our team of correspondents is covering everyangy of this story, and we begin in benghazi where charlie d'agata made it inside the american consulate where the americans died. >> reporter: the attackers made sure there was nothing left. every single room in every single building on this compound looks like this-- torched and ransacked,. no place was safe and there is nowhere to hide. a young neighbor zahi braham najem, showed us around the ruins. he used to visit the consulate often before it was destroyed. >> they burn everything, they steal everything, and they broke the dishes. >> reporter: the people in the neighborhood we spoke to said it wasn't clear who was behind the attack. a libyan security guard who tried to defend the compound but was unded in the attack couldn't tell us, either. but he did say it had the marks of a planned assault.
6:33 pm
we can't show you his face for his own safety. "it was a setup" he said. "they were armed with automatic weapons. some had their faces covered and wore flak jackets." he told us there was an explosion when the attack began, and then the shooting started. he was wounded by shrapnel in his left leg. then he was shot in the other leg. he told us the guards were no match for the attackers. the american flag used to fly on that flag pole behind me. now, that's about all that's left of america's presence in benghazi. most residents we spoke to were upset about the attack. ambassador stevens was well known here. benghazi was where he helped the rebels overthrow muammar qadadffi. anna ajalali, and amna el gerhiani who both live next door in this residential neighborhood said they were sorry. >> we want to pass one thing to
6:34 pm
the americans and to the whole world that what happened here is not representing the libyans, and especially not representing our islam. we're not like that. >> we feel shame to be honest with you. we feel shame for what happened. i mean, we wish we cooled-- >> for what happened to the u.s. > we could have saved him. they were here to help us and they helped us and they were helping us, and we really need this help. >> pelley: charlie, we're told the consulate was a temporary facility, really just a house in a neighborhood. how was it defended? >> reporter: well, scott, it's not what you would call a heavily fortified compound. it's barely a fortified compound. there are metal gates on three sides of it and there are barbed wire on top of cement walls. one thing, we didn't really notice any evidence of a forced entry at those gates or anywhere else on the compound made us a little bit curious. also, we never saw anyone in the way of investigators, whether they were libyan or american.
6:35 pm
and we were really able to scm and go as we pleased and there was nobody there protecting, essentially, a crime scene. >> pelley: charlie, thanks very much. the body of ambassador christopher stephens and the other fallen americans are at a u.s. airbase in germany tonight. who was behind their murders? david martin has been talking to his sources at the pathy. >> reporter: a radical islam group is the leading suspect in the attack. the name means supporters of islamic law, and u.s. officials describe it it as an offshoot of al qaeda. at least one of the attackers was photographed at the scene. and libyan officials claim to to have already made arrests. attorney general eric holder cut short an overseas trip to return to washington, and a law enforcement source said the f.b.i. would begin the investigation by interviewing the 30 american sush viefers of the attack who are now at a u.s. military wais in germany. the attackers struck at 10 p.m.
6:36 pm
local time tuesday and within 15 minutes were inside the compound firing on the main building where ambassador chris stevens, information manager sean smith, and a security officer had already begun destroying classified documents. smoke and flames from a rocket-probelled grenade which exploded on the roof, drove the security officer ow of the building, but he went back in to find stevens and smith. state department spokeswoman victoria nuland described what happened next. >> when he got to sean smith, he was already dead. he pulled him from the building. he went back into the building with additional security forces, but was unable to locate ambassador stevens before the fire overcame the building. >> reporter: the battle then shifted to an annex where two other americans, former navy seal glen doherty, and a still-un identified state department security guard were killed. apparently out-numbered and
6:37 pm
outgunned by their attackers. the bodies of the four americans are scheduled to come home tomorrow. a chilling reminder that while osama bin laden may be dead, his sympathizers are alive and dangerous. >> pelley: david, you reported in your story that there were 30 americans at the consulate who got out? how did they get out of there? >> reporter: all the americans took shelter in the annex to the consulate and were hunkered down there until after about four and a half hours, libyan forces finally got control of the situation. then the americans were taken to the benghazi airport, flown to tripoli, and from there to germany. >> pelley: thanks, david. in his phone call to the president of egypt, president obama said the u.s. rejects efforts to denigrate islam but he added there is never any justification for violence. these were the protests at the embassy in cairo today, and holly williams is there. >> reporter: the protesters have become riots are, fighting
6:38 pm
running street battles with the egyptian police, who were out in force. today, there was chaos as young men threw stoabz and molotov cocktails while security forces countered with tear gas, all of it triggered by the american-made film that deeply offended many muslims. dr. wisam abd el-wares say businessman and ultraconservative muslim who organized the earliest protests. can we walk down the corridor together? >> we cannot walk together. >> reporter: he insisted he couldn't walk side by side with a woman because it's against his religion. he told u he didn't mean for the demonstrations to turn violent and has now called for them to end. but he doesn't accept responsibility. this film was a low-budget effort. it was made by a hand full of people. and it doesn't represent the beliefs or the feelings of a majority of americans. why do you think it's important?
6:39 pm
"it doesn't matter if only a few peopleaw the film," he said. "any insult to the prophet muhamid is upacceptable. "the film may have been the spark, but these protests feed off deeper tensions, laid bare by a revolution that forced egypt's belong-time dictator from power last favor. with an islamist party in power now, anti-american feeling is growing. today, more than 48 hours after the protests began, the egyptian president, mohammad morsi, vowed to protect foreign embassies, but he also denounced those who insult the prophet muhamid. it was a show of unity with the islamists who support him and a clear sign of how egypt's relationship with america is changing. >> pelley: hole williams is joining us from tahrir square in the middle of cairo. holly, i wonder, low damaging is all of this for u.s.-egyptian
6:40 pm
relations? >> scott, egypt has been a u.s. ally for three decades. the country averages $2 billion in american aid every year, but then the arab spring brought a revolution here in egypt, which the u.s. supported, and now the country has an islamist president and a new political mood. so there was already a rift, but with the last few days seem to have done is widen it. >> pelley: holly, we're hearing that banging in the background. it sounds like tear gas canisters going of? >> that's right. there are still a few hundred people, perhaps 1,000 maximum on the street, and egyptian riot police are sporadically firing tear gas canisters in their direction, trying to push them, i suppose, further away from the u.s. embassy here in cairo. >> pelley: a developing situation. holly, thank you. moving to the economy now, the federal reserve today decided to take further action to give the economy a boost. wall street liked it. the dow soared 206 points. and we asked wyatt andrews to
6:41 pm
tell us more about what the fed plans to do. >> reporter: it's the first time the federal reserve has committed to boost the economy ever month and keep interest rates low until unemployment goes down. fed chairman ben bernanke said the economic recovery, especially in the u.s. job market, is stuck. >> this is a main street policy because what we're about here is trying to get jobs going. we're trying to create more employment. >> reporter: specifically, the fed will buy $40 billion worth of mortgage bobdz every month, the idea being to drive mortgage rates even lower than their historic lows now. bernanke says if it works the plan should increase home buying, help the stock market, and drive up consumer spending. >> if people feel that their financial situation is better because their 401(k) looks better, for whatever reason-- their house is worth more-- they're more willing to go out and spend and that's going to provide the demand that firms need in order to be willing to hire and invest. >> reporter: while wall street love the announcement, the fed's
6:42 pm
open-ended commitment to keep interest rates low has i down side. it could hurt retirees living on fixed incomes and anyone invested in savings accounts or money market funds. republican nominee mitt romney, who has already promised to fire ben bernanke, called the fed's intervention, "confirmation that president obama's policies have not worked. we should be creating wealth "romney said in a statement, "not printing dollars." republicans also fear that bernanke may have timed this effort to increase hiring as an election-year gift to the president. bernanke rejected that, scott, saying the fed's timing was related to a clearlying stagnant economy, not to politics. >> pelley: wyatt, thanks. pore days before the election, president obama has a small lead in the polls. do you think there's a reasonable chance that you could lose this election? we'll have the president's answer to that question when the cbs evening news continues. [ female announcer ] did you know the average person smiles

>> pelley: we've been bringing you our conversations with the presidential candidates. wetarted with a week of interviews with mitt romney and his wife, anne, during the republican convention. this week, we've been talking to president obama about whether he can get bipartisan support in a second term, the kind of cooperation that was lacking when mr. obama and republican house speaker john boehner failed to reach agreement on the budget, an agreement that they called "the grand bargain?" you're calling for cooperation in washington, but if you're
6:46 pm
re-elected, john boehner will still be speaker of the house. paul ryan will still be the chairman of the budget committee. how will anything change in washington if all the players are the same, including yourself? >> well, first of all, we don't know what's going to happen in the election. in my election or anybody else's. so we don't want to take that for granted. but let's assume i'm re-elected and the house republicans are still in charge. i think it's important to point out that even with all the back-and-forth that's taken place this year, we got a lot o stuff done. we have cut a trillion dollars from our deficit because of an agreement that i made with speaker boehner that got passed ones, and we'd like to see
6:47 pm
greate cooperation. i don't expect i will get 100% cooperation. but 50%, 60%, wouldn't be bad. >> pelley: but if you win, will you be willing to compromise? what are you willing to give in order to complete this grand bargain on the budget that had failed? >> well, i-- keep in mind that the trillion dollars that we c cut, you know, was a painful exercise. you know, there are some programs that are worthy but we just can't afford right now. is and there's still waste. there are still programs that don't work. there are still ways we can make it leaner and more efficient. so i'm, you know, more than happy to work with the republicans, and what i've said in reducing our deficits, we can make sure that we cut $2.5 for every dollar of increased revenue. >> pelley: that's the deal they turned down, mr. president >> well, that's part of what this election's about. >> pelley: do you think

there's a reasonable chance that you could lose this election? >> oh, absolute. i mean, this is-- this is going stoob a close race. and i'm running in an environment where the economy isn't where it needs to be. i take nothing for granted. i'm going to be working my tail off trying to present a clear choice to the american people. and the one thing i hope i'm able to communicate in this campaign is what my values are, what my plan is, but also that i'm not tired. that i am as eager every morning and as determined as i've ever been to work as hard as i can on behalf of the american people. >> pelley: our conversation with the president will continue tomorrow. as the drought grips oklahoma, this colonel is on a mission to decide where the water will flow. next. acal maximum plus d. it's the only calcium supplement

Choose an Eco Hotel for Your Stay in Panglao
Crystal clear seawater, countless species of fish and other sea creatures, gorgeous sunrises and stunning sunsets are just some of the natural beauties the island of Panglao is blessed with.
Home to more than seven thousand islands, the Philippines naturally has a lot of natural resources thanks to these islands' surrounding bodies of water.
Panglao as a Tourist Destination
Panglao is one of the islands of Bohol, and it is well-known because of the fantastic snorkeling sights. It is a few minutes' boat ride away from Tagbilaran City, the capital of Bohol. This gives tourists plenty of things to do during their stay in Bohol.
If snorkeling and soaking up the naturally beautiful resources of the tropical island is your thing, it is a good idea to stay in an eco hotel in Panglao, Bohol like Eco Hotels. This way, you are deviating from the usual fancy and expensive hotels that do not prioritize the minimization of their impact on the environment.
By choosing an eco hotel, you are choosing a win-win situation because you are helping save the environment while enjoying your tropical vacation at the same time.
If you are a local, it is fairly easy to book your hotel online and maybe even do a booking on the same day in the hotel itself. But if you are coming from another country, it is a good idea to avail of the services of a reputable travel agency for your dream vacation in Bohol.
This way, you already have the accommodation arrangements taken care of once you get to Panglao. You can then focus on checking out tour packages that you can avail while in Bohol.
Sights to See in the Main Island
When you've had your fill of snorkeling in Panglao, you can go for a day trip in Tagbilaran and experience the tourist attractions the main island has to offer. A couple of distinct sights to see on the main island are the famous chocolate hills and the tarsiers, which are now considered to be a dangerously close to extinction species.
Of course, shopping for souvenirs is also a must-do. When in Bohol, there are so many options for you that you will never run out of things to do.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced Thursday it had posted a budget surplus of $214 billion, as the government outlayed $296 billion against $510 in tax receipts for the month of April.
The previous record for April was $190 billion in 2001. The $214 billion surplus in April 2018 represents a 12 percent increase, $55 billion, from April 2017.
"Those payments were mostly related to economic activity in 2017 and may reflect stronger-than-expected income growth for that year. Part of the strength in receipts also may reflect larger-than-anticipated payments for economic activity in 2018," the Congressional Budget Office said in its Monthly Budget Review.
Attributed to tax deposits, the Treasury also stated the record surplus was driven by stronger income growth and larger payments for economic activity. April's $214 billion surplus was a $40 billion increase from March 2018.
Accompanying the surge in tax receipts was an uptick in spending, which rose eight percent. Economists say the spending increase was inspired by Social Security payments and an higher payments on the national debt.
Despite the record surplus, the expected deficit for the period of October 2017 to April 2018 was $385 billion, up from $344 billion from the same period last year.
The deficit from the 2018 fiscal budget is anticipated to be $848 billion, and exceed $1 trillion by fiscal year 2020.
In spite of the dreary numbers, the White House has repeatedly stated the 2017 tax bill will generate higher tax revenue and annual deficits will narrow.

Sports are a big deal to my girls. We spend most of our weekends and a lot of our weeknights practicing and playing sports. There are times when I get tired of hauling everyone to another game or another practice, but my girls love it. Sports feed their competitive spirits. They teach them how to win and lose gracefully. They learn the value of teamwork and how to encourage others.
Because sports are such a big part of my daughters' lives, though, when something goes wrong in that world, it causes trauma and drama in our whole house. This week has been a tough one for my older daughter. For a lot of reasons that have nothing to do with her, her soccer team is probably going to break up at the end of the season. It was only through the grace of one of her coaches that it didn't break up this week. My daughter made an agonizing decision last summer to switch teams. She left behind friends and a coach she loved on her other team.
I did my homework. I talked to players' parents. I talked to the coach. I asked the right questions about the stability of the team. I thought we had put her in a good place. Turns out, I was wrong.
As my daughter lay on the couch in tears last night, I wondered if we had done the right thing. We left the decision to go to this team entirely in my daughters' hands. She shed buckets of tears over the decision. We truly didn't think that either option was a bad one.
As I told my daughter last night, God uses everything for good -- even this soccer crisis that seems so big to my 11-year-old child. Romans 8:28 tells us, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Even when we can't see the road ahead, even when the present situation seems overwhelming and unfair, God is still in control. God's got this. He will use it for good. My daughter may not see it immediately, but eventually she will be able to look back on this moment and know that God used it to do something good in her life.
What happened to my daughter this week is unfair. The situation stinks, but in the greater scheme of the world, this mini-crisis in her life isn't a big deal. She will play soccer next year. We just don't know where. But right now, in this very moment, there are more tears to be shed. There's more frustration to be had. Because when you're 11 and the thing that you love to do the most is in turmoil, you are in turmoil. And God knows that.
He knows that her heart is broken. He knows that her world has been turned upside down. He knows that she needs His loving arms to wrap her up and heal her hurts. He knows it all. And He's there to do that. He's there to listen to her cries, to let her know she's loved, to remind her that He is in control.
That's why our job as parents is so important in the midst of our kids' crises. Our job in all this is to offer comfort when it's needed, encouragement that it will pass, and wisdom on what to do next. Our main job, though, is to keep reminding her that God is there, He's got this, and He cares about it because He cares about her. Good things will come of this, we just have to wait for God to show us what they are.

text: 'A powerful flame extinguished'May 7, 2007|Written By Jennifer McPhee Bertha Wilson, the first woman appointed to both the Court of Appeal for Ontario and the Supreme Court of Canada, was the kind of person who realized she would need to prove herself wherever she went, but that didn't bother her one bit.Justice Bertha Wilson, shown in her portrait from the Supreme Court's collection by Mary Lennox Hourd, was the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada. Portrait by Mary Lennox HourdWilson, who died last week at 83 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease, immigrated to Canada from Scotland with her husband Rev. John Wilson, a Presbyterian minister, in 1949. She worked around the clock with her husband both before and after moving to Canada and settling in Renfrew, Ont. A few years later, her husband joined the Navy during the Korean War, and was later posted in Halifax. It was in 1955 she decided to enroll at Dalhousie University's law school.At the time, she didn't intend to practise law, says Gibson & Adams LLP lawyer Ellen Anderson, author of the biography Judging Bertha Wilson: Law as Large as Life. Wilson was looking for an area of intellectual study, thought that everyone should have some understanding of the law, and wanted to help her husband's parishioners with their legal problems.She took it in stride and refused to be offended when Horace Read, dean of the law school, famously said to her: "Have you no appreciation of how tough a course the law is? This is not something you can do in your spare time. We have no room here for dilettantes. Why don't you go home and take up crocheting?" Needless to say, Wilson changed her mind about practising and was called to the bar in Halifax in 1957 and in Ontario in 1959. She became the first woman lawyer and first woman partner at Osler Hoskin & Harcourt LLP in Toronto, where she quickly became recognized for her superior analytical research skills and established a new a research department. The roleprepared her for a later appointment at the Court of Appeal, says Tim Kennish, of Oslers who worked with her for more than a decade.He recalls Wilson was an independent thinker, inclined to be mindful to the rights of individuals and to examine issues from both sides of the fence. She was reserved, but extremely pleasant with a charming Scottish accent."But she didn't back down when she felt a point of principle was at stake," he says. "She held her position, but she did it with great charm," he says."She was quite held in high regard by the lawyers of the day. . . . Given that there were no women at the firm - and that was no accident - you have to assume that she was swimming upstream to establish herself."In fact, Wilson was initially hired reluctantly by the firm on a temporary basis. When she was asked to take on a major assignment on her last day, she informed management she would like to help, but it was her last day. The firm did an about face and invited her to stay, which she did, for 17 years, until she was appointed to the appeal court in 1975. At the time, the reaction to her appointment was mixed, says Anderson. One judge, who knew Wilson, called to congratulate her."But there were other judges on the Court of Appeal who were less than enthusiastic about her being appointed," says Anderson. "She wasn't that well known. One of the responses was 'Bertha who?' And 'no woman can do my job' was another response reported to her."Seven years later, after proving herself once again, Wilson was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada just weeks before the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was signed in 1982.When she was first appointed to the Supreme Court, there was no washroom for female judges, recalls Eugene Meehan, chairman of the Supreme Court practice group at Lang Michener LLP in Ottawa, who was the executive legal officer at the SCC while Wilson was on the bench."They had to build one," he says. "So she was a pioneer in many respects, including that one."She wrote judgments longhand with a pencil and was legendary for meeting her husband in the court's garage after work on Fridays, where the couple would load boxes of books into the car for Wilson to use to work on judgments over the weekend, says Meehan, a fellow Scot."Beyond North Sea oil, scotch, and porridge, Scotland's best export was Bertha Wilson," he says. "She made me, and others, proud to be Scottish, and also proud to be Canadian."The years following her appointment were an exciting time on the bench and Wilson made a mark on Charter jurisprudence."Her output was absolutely prodigious," says Anderson. "Her contribution was huge."Perhaps most famously, Wilson wrote R. v. Morgentaler in 1988, the controversial decision that overturned the section of the Criminal Code dealing with abortion. When hate mail came pouring in, Wilson relieved her secretary of the unpleasant task of opening the mail and dealt with it herself, says Anderson.Never one to back down when a principle was at stake, no matter how unpopular it might make her, Wilson also wrote many dissenting opinions. For instance, in 1990, Wilson wrote the dissenting opinion in McKinney v. The University of Guelph, a case where the majority decided that mandatory retirement for university professors did not violate Charter equality rights."Bertha thought that one of the functions of the dissent was to have that benchmark for an evolution of social consensus out there," says Anderson.Henry S. Brown, a partner at Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP in Ottawa, appeared before Wilson on her first chambers motion and dozens of times after."It was a real thrill to engage in debate with her because she was genuinely seeking to fill out the case, to find the gaps, to satisfy herself that justice would be done," he says. "She was very much motivated by doing the right thing."Wilson retired from the court in 1991 at 67. And it was her post-retirement work as a commissioner of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples that Wilson viewed as her most valuable contribution, says Anderson. The resulting 1996 report called for sweeping changes to the relationship between Aboriginal and non-aboriginal people and governments.During the same time, Wilson was also chairwoman of the Canadian Bar Association's task force on gender equality in the legal profession, where she was quick to correct errors in the initial conceptualizing of the task force by expanding the scope to include race, disability, and same-sex issues, and fought to add an aboriginal member and a black member to the task force, recalls Daphne Dumont, a former CBA president who was on the task force."Bertha had the most amazing ability to, without ego, simply say, 'Yes, I think that must be an error, let's change it.' She was never set in her ways."Those on the gender task force would meet in cities across Canada and Wilson would often join them after stints trekking across the country for meetings in remote aboriginal communities.If the other lawyers were walking to a meeting, Wilson would walk too, despite terrible arthritis. "She had an enormous amount of physical courage." says Dumont."What a marvelous life," says Meehan. "She is a powerful flame that has been extinguished, but that powerful flame will jurisprudentially burn for a long time."In lieu of flowers, her family requests that donations, if so desired, be made to the Alzheimer's Society in Ottawa.A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on May 8, at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in downtown Ottawa.

Hired Your First Employee In Santa Rosa? Here Are Your Tax Obligations
Hiring a first employee is a milestone for any commercial establishment, of course, but also leads to a certain amount of paperwork related to taxes. You need to make sure your business is compliant not just with the IRS, but with federal and state agencies. This is where a qualified financial planner in Santa Rosa can help.
Start With A Number
When you hire someone, your Social Security number needs to be replaced with an Employer Identification Number (EIN) as your tax ID. This can then be used for the opening of a business bank account or applying for a business license, among other things. It is also necessary before you start paying your first employee, as any qualified financial planner in Santa Rosa will inform you. The number will also have to be given to your new hire and will help you determine how much federal income tax to withhold every payday. This does not apply to independent contractors, as they require a different form.
It helps to familiarize yourself with payroll processing, a lot of which can be done using an online application. A financial planner can explain how this works and also help you understand state taxes or any local obligations you may have, in addition to other taxation requirements.
Find Out About Forms
Hiring or re-hiring someone requires you to contact your state, as all employees must fill out a Form I-9 on the first day of a new job while proving that they are legally eligible to work in the United States. The form comes from the Department of Homeland Security, and employers are charged with verifying the accuracy of all information provided on the basis of approved documents that can range from a passport to a birth certificate. A financial planner in Santa Rosa can help you with documentation as well as online tools that can make the task simpler.
Online Assistance
Spending time at the Department of Labor website can give you answers to many questions you may have about rules for new employers. It still makes sense to talk to a financial planner in Santa Rosa though, to understand what federal employment laws apply, what sort of record keeping you will need to do, and how to prepare for tax obligations to avoid unnecessary paperwork at a later date.
Contact Montgomery Taylor For Advice
We have a team of qualified tax accountants in Santa Rosa ready to help with first employees as well as any other tax-related paperwork. For advice or answers to questions about taxes, contact the Montgomery Taylor team for a consultation today.
