At the end of the month I like to look back on what I've done and where I've been. On how I felt and what was on my mind. It turned out that my Instagram pictures actually give a pretty good impression. So, I decided to put them together in a blog post. Here's my monthly photo essay: Looking back on November BLUE TRAIL it is ✌👣.Continue Reading "Looking back on November: BLUE TRAIL it is"
It's all about the mindset, but how to set your mind when you're hiking the last leg of a trail which is still 900 kilometers? It's not like I'm almost done, while at the same time it's the last part. Also, the word mindset implies that I'm in control of my mind. I whish. Or maybe not? In reality my mind is influenced by how I feel just as much as the other way around. My solution: try not to think too much, just hike. And so I did.Continue Reading "The area of Dubrovnik, island Mljet and Pelješac peninsula"

| Aconitum carmichaelii
Aconitum carmichaelii syn. A. fischeri, is a species of flowering plant of the genus Aconitum, family Ranunculaceae. It is native to East Asia and eastern Russia. It is commonly known as Chinese aconite, Carmichael's monkshood or Chinese wolfsbane , Torikabuto}}). It is known in Mandarin as Fu Zi (meaning daughter root, or lateral root) and as Wu Tou (meaning tuberous mother root, or root tuber).
Growing to 1.2 m (4 ft) tall by 30 cm (12 in) wide,[1] it is an erect perennial, with 3- to 5- lobed ovate, leathery leaves. Dense panicles of blue flowers are produced in late summer and autumn.
It is valued as a garden plant, and numerous cultivars have been developed, of which 'Arendsii'[2] and 'Kelmscott'[3] (Wilsonii Group) have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[1]
Biological effects
All parts of this plant are extremely toxic,[4] and it has historically been used as a poison on arrows.[5] It is sometimes used topically in Dit Da Jow liniment.[citation needed] If not prepared properly by a trained person, Aconitum can be deadly when taken internally.
It is considered a medicinal herb in traditional Chinese medicine and the root is most commonly used to restore yang.Template:Cn

Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can't measure something, you can't understand it. If you can't understand it, you can't control it. If you can't control it, you can't improve it.
We understand not every business is the same, so we have partnered with leading energy management providers to deliver a comprehensive and completely customizable energy management package to suit the needs of any facility or multi-site facility operations.
Data-driven energy management software is the most effective strategy to reduce long term costs and set and achieve sustainability goals. This sounds great, but you might be wondering how exactly energy management software will help your business. While there are countless ways you can customize your energy management software, here are eleven of the main benefits that get us really excited.
1. Share utility bill info with your accounts payable department
Access your historical and real time energy records anywhere, any time and create transparency throughout different departments. Automate the collection of utility data directly from the meter, making it easy to analyze bill trends and ensure the accuracy of monthly bills. Energy data also allows you to create internal invoices for departmental energy expenses.
2. Work out your organization's carbon footprint
Use historical data across the entire energy portfolio to report on environmental impact and sustainability measures and objectives. Quantify consumption changes and provide management with actual dollar savings and GHG reduction opportunities.
3. Compare energy use at similar facilities using metrics like total cost and cost per square foot
Optimize operational efficiencies by benchmarking systems and proactively manage demand charges – factor seasonal, rate and operational changes. Some organizations like to make their metrics more specific for their industry, for example energy cost per gadget manufactured or energy cost per employee.
4. Schedule regular energy reports that go straight to your colleague's inboxes
Diverse teams across an organization have different reporting needs that all rely on the same building data. The reporting engine makes it easy for a diverse set of users to produce the reports they need – such as sustainability, energy and financial reports – from a wide range of building systems.
5. Comply with industry standards and regulations
Accurately report data to help comply with energy related regulations, green initiatives and industry standards. Gain confidence in the data you report on and save time configuring reports for compliance procedures.
6. Avoid expensive downtime
Avoid downtime while ensuring efficiency and effectiveness by optimizing preventative and condition-based maintenance needs. Benchmarking your facility's energy operations can help you to set up alerts for energy abnormalities that could be leading up to equipment failure.
7. Measure and verify energy expenditures
Users can quickly and seamlessly understand the return on efficiency investments, arming facilities teams with the data they need to make the case for projects.
8. Drive occupant engagement
Empower your occupants to become active participants in energy management. By showcasing real-time building performance data, Energy Management Software dashboards drive awareness and action in occupants. Showcase real-time building performance and green features on any Internet-enabled device, encouraging people and teams across your organization to collaborate around shared sustainability goals.
9. Manage peak demand charges
Energy management software can forecast short-term peak demand based on a live weather forecast and other dependent variables. Actionable notifications translate analytical insights into instant savings. You can also examine how well you've managed against historical peak demand events.
10. Optimize building performance
Energy management software enables you to tune up your buildings and keep them efficient over the long term. By aggregating real-time data across your portfolio, you can easily identify scheduling inefficiencies; and detect when your building start-up or shutdown times change or baseload use increases.
11. Building managers eliminate the guesswork
Instead of charging based on square foot estimates, you can use building sub-metered data to allocate costs across tenant spaces, providing actual data on energy use rather than estimates.
Kambo's team of energy experts specialize in helping businesses to lower their energy costs and increase their energy efficiency. A free 30 minute energy assessment can help you to learn more about energy efficiency for your business. Talk to us today.

Yummy bits and bobs from my kitchen!
Did you know that the Kellogg brand recently launched a line of crustless breakfast quiches? It's not something I'd ever thought of as a health food particularly; when working at a French restaurant, I'd make a quiche every morning in time for lunch service and the amount of cream and cheese that went into them was something to behold…. That is why they were so delicious.
Kellogg is however marketing this quiche as a "wellness" breakfast food, rather than a diet food like special K cereals. I can't get hold of a Special K breakfast quiche to do a comparison as they haven't been released in the UK, but I doubt they are as good as a freshly made one. Here's the recipe for a quiche I made the other night one lovely spring afternoon
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 50 minutes
Difficulty: medium Makes: an 8 inch tart
1 sheet ready rolled short crust pastry or a 500g block
Medium onion
2 cloves finely minced garlic
1 tsp chopped herbs such as herbs de Provence or mint for a particularly fresh flavour.
6 large eggs
500 ml double cream
100 g crumbled feta cheese.
200g fresh or defrosted peas
A generous pinch of salt and pepper
Olive oil for greasing your baking tin and frying your onions.
Tip: Using a loose bottomed tart tin makes this much easier, as you're less likely to damage your quiche while removing it from the tin in the final stages.
1) First preheat your oven to gas mark 4 (electric 180°C/ 350°F/ fan 160°C) and remove your pastry from the fridge to come up to room temperature, this will make it easier to work.
2) Prepare your pastry and line your tart case: Brush your tin with a little oil, and then dust evenly with flour. Cut out a circle of baking paper the same size as the base of your tart tin. Using a little oil, stick this paper into the base. Roll out a circle of pastry a little wider than your baking tin. Use a rolling pin to move the pastry onto the tin, carefully press the pastry down, leaving a little overhang on all sides. Pop a sheet of baking paper into the case and fill with baking beans (if you don't have baking beans, you can use dry rice or pasta, but proper ceramic baking beans work best because of their weight and ability to conduct heat). Blind bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is cooked through (you want to avoid a "soggy bottom" after all).
3) Cook off your onions: gently heat a little oil in a frying pan, and finely slice your onions. Once the pan is warmed through, add the onions and minced garlic and sweat down for about 5 minutes until lightly coloured and softened (don't overcrowd your pan though, as this will result in uneven cooking.)
4) Prepare your filling: Use the time it takes your onions to cook to beet your eggs and cream together. Add in the herbs, salt, pepper, feta and peas. Once your onions are cooked, add them to the mix too.
5) Check that your pastry is ready: Check your pastry is ready by carefully lifting the baking beans and taking a look at the pastry beneath. The pastry should be dry, hardened and pale in colour Don't let it brown, as this means it is over cooked and will taste a little burned by the end of the cooking process. When the pastry is ready, remove from the over and take out the baking beans. Trim off any excess overhang with a sharp knife. If there are any cracks in the pastry, plug them up with melted cheese (yum!) so your filling doesn't spill out all over the oven.
6) Assemble the quiche: Ladle all of the solid filling mix into the pastry case. To avoid spilling egg mix everywhere as I carry the quiche to the oven, at this point I place the quiche back onto an easily accessible shelf in the oven and ladle the egg mix into the case from there. Close the oven door and allow to bake for around 30-40 minutes. When the quiche is done, it will not be runny anymore, but will still have a little bit of "wobble" in the centre if you shake the tin.
7) Allow to cool a little before removing from the tin (very hot quiches can be a little difficult to handle), and you're done! Slice up and enjoy!
I served mine hot with a mustardy potato salad and some dressed leaves, but this works great cold for a picnic or just something different in a packed lunch.

text: Hello everyone I just found this site and am looking for some insight into the way my birds are acting. I've had two budgies for a bit over two months now, Miguel and Tullio, and they are definitely bonded with each other but I'm worried it may have reached an unhealthy stage. Tullio is pretty active and independent and he does all the normal things I would expect. Miguel on the other hand won't do anything unless Tullio does it first and won't let him get more than a few inches away from him at anytime. Whenever I feed them millet on my hands to try and tame them Miguel will eventually start biting at Tullios feet until he jumps off and I just noticed a bit ago that whenever Tullio starts to get loud and vocal that Miguel will screech at him and actually nip at him until he stops. I think that may have been going on for a while without me noticing because I have noticed they are distinctly quieter than they used to be. Most of the time they are super lovey with each other and chew on each other beaks and preen one another and everything but I'm worried this behavior may prevent me from interacting with them fully and I don't know what to do. I should say I am not 100% on their genders, I think they are both males (hence the names lol) but they are still pretty young so I don't know.

The victorious battle had been led by national hero Nguyen Hue (also known as Emperor Quang Trung).
National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, Secretary of the Ha Noi Party Committee Pham Quang Nghi and representatives of ministries, local departments and thousands of local people took part in the event.
The festival included an incense-offering ceremony, a procession featuring Emperor Quang Trung's palanquin and a range of artistic performances in memory of him and Tay Son soldiers.
Dong Da Hill, located in a park in Ha Noi, had reportedly witnessed fierce battles between Emperor Quang Trung's soldiers and the Chinese invaders on the fifth day of the first lunar month.
The festival at the park aims to uphold the country's cultural values, while educating the young generation.
"The annual festival is organised every year to pay homage to the great victory of Emperor Quang Trung, and to teach the tradition of patriotism and national pride to the capital's young generation," said Chairman of Dong Da District's People's Committee Nguyen Song Hao at the festival.
In the early spring of 1789, Nguyen Hue – who was later proclaimed Emperor Quang Trung – led his troops from the Hue imperial palace to Ha Noi, which was then occupied by the Qing army.
He launched a surprise attack and defeated more than 29,000 invading soldiers in a battle on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
The victory of Ngoc Hoi-Dong Da has gone down in Vietnamese history as an immortal and epic struggle for national construction and defence.
On this occasion, a 700sqm temple to worship Emperor Quang Trung, located in the Dong Da Park, was inaugurated yesterday.
Festival in Binh Dinh
On Sunday, thousands of people from across the country flocked to the Quang Trung Museum in Tay Son District, the central province of Binh Dinh, to participate in a festival marking the anniversary of the Ngoc Hoi-Dong Da victory.
The province is known as the birthplace of the national hero.
The festival opened with an incense and flower-offering ceremony in commemoration of the Emperor and his soldiers.
A series of cultural, artistic and sports activities and martial arts performances have been taking place since Sunday, or the fourth day of the first lunar month.
A representative of the culture ministry, authorities of the Binh Dinh province and thousands of people attended the event.
Over the past several years, the province has invested hundreds of billions of dong to upgrade the Quang Trung Museum, the tombs of generals and soldiers of the Tay Son dynasty.
On this occasion, the province received a certificate from the culture ministry, recognising the Quang Trung Museum as a national relic. — VNS

International ACAC Executive Board Applications Now Open!
It's the most wonderful time of the year….
International ACAC Executive Board Applications Now Open!
It's the most wonderful time of the year….
Remember the highly talented Nepali students whose scholarships were revoked this past April due to an administrative oversight? Here's an update on how they're doing:
Students have made their first attempts at carving pumpkins, and experienced their first snowfall. Some have built rockets in the desert for an Embry-Riddle course project and nearly all have found on-campus work. Roman Shrestha at U of Denver says, "I'm so happy to share that I got appointed as a lab assistant for my Chemistry professor. It is a great feeling to start my freshman year with this position."
On the other side of the globe, the students at SUNY Korea are amazed at Korean efficiency as they watched a whole football field constructed within days. Students at NW Qatar are testing their journalism skills and sharing their stories, including this one by Krishna Sharma. Shashwat Maharjan just won Central Michigan University's American Mathematics Society's Annual Integration Bee - as a freshman!
Though the Trump Administration is not moving forward with a proposed ban on visas for Chinese students at American schools, it is pursuing a change in rules to limit the amount of time a student can stay on a visa.The status quo is that student visas are valid for the "duration of status," meaning as long as the program of study lasts. The administration has not specified how long the time limits would be.
The University of Birmingham will begin to accept the Gaokao, meaning students who score at least 80% on the exam, as well as meeting other criteria, including English proficiency, will be eligible for direct admission without a Foundation year. This is part of a broader trend of Anglophone universities using the Gaokao as part of the admissions process.
President's Corner : Celebrating Success & Looking Ahead
by Aaron Andersen, International ACAC President
Yesterday in my 'day job' at University of British Columbia, we
took time away from the regular work and routine to gather for
our yearly Staff Retreat. This year we took particular time to
focus on Celebration. It reminded me, that all too often, many
of us naturally focus on the stress and pressures of our day, and
do not take time to celebrate our successes.
Did you know...
International ACAC is an affiliate of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC). NACAC has guided the evolution of college admission counseling into a recognized profession since its founding in 1937, and over the years has issued charters to affiliates—23 currently—that share a common mission to serve and support the needs of the admission counseling professionals and the students they serve. NACAC and its affiliates work together to broaden geographic representation through partnership programs, activities, and operations.
As Ronn Beck, director of international recruitment and admission at Salve Regina University (CT), recounts:
by Johanna Fishbein, Past-President, International ACAC
We always tell our students that it's important they get involved in their community; whether that's service, activities, sports, and much more - universities value involvement. Well... we at International ACAC feel the same way; we want our members involved!
We fully recognize that time is not something readily available, so there are many different ways to get involved - some that require much more of a time commitment than others. In February of 2018 we held a webinar on Getting Involved with International ACAC which you can access here. As we look to 2019, here are some ways you can consider getting involved:
by Kristin Dreazen, President (2016-2017)
As a brand-new international admissions counsellor in 2001, I had no idea what to expect when I went to my first OACAC Conference at Clark University. I had been to other ACAC conferences but, leaving campus after that week, I knew that OACAC was something really special. I was welcomed and made to be 'part of the family' and those members I met all those years ago are still mentors and friends. Since then, what is now International ACAC contributed so much to my own personal and professional development that when the opportunity to give back in the form of Board service presented itself, I felt compelled to get involved.
Being part of the incredible – and ever-changing - group of people that makes up the Executive Board, first as a Delegate and then as part of the Presidential Team, was an amazing experience. I gained a deeper understanding of the Association and the membership – now, so different than when I joined; was given the opportunity to shape the future direction of the work done on behalf of the members; and had the privilege to represent their voices in NACAC's Assembly as it debated and voted on matters dealing with commission-based agents and the revamp of the SPGP (among other things).
Having finished my service on the Board just a few short months ago, it's still hard to quantify exactly what it has meant but in the short term, I am grateful for the time spent in conversation and at work with such a smart, dynamic, hard-working, and collegial group of colleagues on the Board.
In the past few months you may have heard a lot about the NACAC and International ACAC Admissions Practices (AP) Committee. So how does this whole AP thing work? Our wonderful Vice President of Admissions Practices, John Wilkerson, has written a blog post to explain it all! We hope you, the membership, will find this helpful and as always, if you have any questions, let us know! Happy reading. - Johanna Fishbein, President of International ACAC
International ACAC members' commitment to ethical and principled conduct in our work is regularly displayed. As massive shifts in global dialog unfold, and civil discourse and behavior are often less prevalent among influential world leaders, the importance of conducting our work with integrity and reliability cannot be overstated.
Late last year, the NACAC legislative assembly unanimously agreed to adopt a new incarnation of the Statement of Principles of Good Practice (SPGP). Now titled, SPGP: NACAC's Code of Ethics and Professional Practices (SPGP: CEPP), the standards of consideration and behavior set forth in the new document provide clearer guidance and increased transparency regarding the ethics and governance of the work of association members. As a membership organization, the code of conduct and the bylaws that govern them are written by and voted upon by NACAC members.
Approximately every three years, the Executive Board reviews and, in many cases, recommends updates and amendments to the International ACAC Bylaws. This year we undertook this process and will be presenting an amended bylaw document at the General Membership Meeting in New Orleans on Wednesday, July 11.
You can see the amended Bylaw document here. We offer a few notes on the changes you'll see:
Prior to the meeting in New Orleans, we invite members to read through the proposed changes and contribute to the public feedback period, which will close on July 6.
Staying for the weekend after International ACAC? We've got you covered. While New Orleans is famous for its food and music, there are many other ways to take in our great city. Whether it be the World War II Museum, one of our great art galleries, or an outdoor adventure, there are so many great ways to spend a day in New Orleans. Here are 8 of our favorite summer activities.
Running of the Bulls: This is hands down one of the best festivals in town. South Louisiana is home to over 300 festivals per year, and San Fermin in Nueva Orleans is a highlight every summer. Lucky for us, this year's festival will take place right after International ACAC. SFNO is a recreation of the encinerro from Pamplona, Spain. However, our version is a little safer in that instead of running from bulls, you'll be running from roller derby girls! Don't get too complacent though- these bulls still pack a punch!
Welcome to New Orleans! We are so excited to host the International ACAC Conference here at Tulane and Loyola. It is going to be an amazing few days, especially for those of you who have never visited our city before. New Orleans is ranked time and time again as one of the best food cities in the world, so picking one spot is always tough. We've compiled a list of our favorite restaurants close to our Uptown campuses that we hope you get to try during your trip! Bon appetit!
Saba: Just a few blocks from Tulane, Alon Shaya has just opened his brand-new restaurant and it does not disappoint. Similar to his previous restaurants, Saba offers incredible modern Israeli food which would make sense as Saba means grandfather in Hebrew. The pita and lamb hummus will probably change your life forever.
Clancy's: Located Uptown just on Annunciation Street, Clancy's is tucked in a residential neighborhood but is home to amazing Creole cooking. Drawing influences from French cuisine, Clancy's serves up delicious plates of everything from veal to tuna to lemon icebox pie. They also have an extensive drink menu.

Efua Adabie is unapologetic about pushing her students to venture outside their comfort zones. As the founding principal of a high school in Ghana for high-achieving, low-income African girls interested in STEM fields, Efua challenges students to innovate and solve problems that exist on the African continent.
Efua is a role model for taking on new challenges herself. With limited resources and no formal training, she has successfully created a college guidance program that has helped students at her high school go on to universities in Ghana as well as Minerva in the U.S. and University of Edinburgh in the U.K.

On September 7th 2017, most counselors in Asia didn't even make it to their desk before they were inundated with forwarded emails or stopped in the hall by panicked students. "Did you hear the ACT is cancelled? What are we gonna do?"
The unexpected and sudden announcement by Hobsons - Naviance on January 23, 2018, that they were pulling out of the international market came as a surprise to everyone. While complaints about Naviance had been increasing over the years, its impending death caught international counselors off guard. On June 30, 2019 Naviance will be gone.
The five stages of grief proposed by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book On Death and Dying seemed to sum up what many counselors were voicing on Facebook and in email messages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
For many counselors, Naviance is the only software platform they have used. Some had been using Naviance (and for the really old-timers, its predecessor, "The College Counselor-TCC") for 20+ years. When founders Steve Smith and Shaun Fanning launched Naviance, it quickly became the platform of choice and revolutionized the way counselors did their job. Unfortunately, after Hobsons bought it out, Naviance lost much of its lustre.

At the NACAC Annual Conference in Boston in September, the 2017 Assembly approved major changes to the Statement of Principles and Good Practices (SPGP) including its name. NACAC's new Code of Ethics of Professional Practices (CEPP) will now serve as a more modern and streamlined set of guidelines for our profession. Some highlights:

Last Spring the International ACAC board placed their votes for three awards that honor leaders in our field. These include the Distinguished Service Award, the Rising Star Award, and the Peter Hauet Lifetime Achievement Award. This year the awards went to some inspiring individuals who have made big contributions to International ACAC over the years.
Ed Tourle from the Pestalozzi International Village Trust in the United Kingdom was selected for the International ACAC Rising Star Award. He said, "I have been a college admissions counsellor for three years now, having previously worked as a Primary school teacher. I represent 40 international students from nine countries. I was privileged to receive the International ACAC Scholarship to attend the University of Oregon conference in 2015. Life has been a roller coaster since then. In terms of my own professional development as a college admissions counsellor, opportunities to up level my team and the delivery of support to my students, IACAC has been the gift that keeps on giving. I have met and worked with the most inspirational, kind and encouraging people in my professional career. I have discovered a role that fulfils me and drives me forward in ways I never expected. Following that first, transformative conference, I joined the Admissions Practice Committee for IACAC, gave presentations at regional institutes and was also invited to join the wonderful HALI Access Network, again with a committee role.
The technical refinement of school profiles and our advocacy as an office were enabled through excellent mentorship and advice from truly experienced colleagues. For me, above anything it is the people I am honoured to work with that means the most. To receive the Rising Star Award was entirely unexpected and to receive it alongside Joan Liu (Distinguished Service Recipient 2017) was just another level. She is the chief architect of my success and I cannot praise her universal commitment enough. Our organisation is vulnerable and the award creates a wave of momentum that IACAC has equipped me to deal with in a practical and productive way. Giving me the tools necessary and the profile to transform lives in vulnerable communities. It does not get better than that. Thank you IACAC for this enormous privilege that I will honour to the very best of my ability." Congratulations, Ed!

It can be said, in no uncertain terms, that the International ACAC Dodgeball Tournament is a highlight of the annual conference. What started with only 12 rag-tag teams at the TCU conference in July of 2006 has morphed into the epicenter of entertainment for higher ed folks and college counselors alike. Seriously, where else will you find cow costumes aplenty, David Zutautas on the mic and a gaggle of overly-competitive Jesuit university reps eager to trash talk anyone who mentions the fact that they were out in 1st round last year?

Unico Properties acquired 100-year-old Smith Tower, Seattle's oldest skyscraper, on Wednesday for $73.73 million.
The purchase of the Pioneer Square historical landmark is the fourth big deal by the Seattle real-estate investment and management firm in the past three months. Unico bought the property from a CBRE partnership that foreclosed on it in March 2012.
"We're honored to own and invest in the iconic Smith Tower," said Ned Carner, Unico's vice president of acquisitions, in a news release.
Built in 1914, the 42-story Smith Tower was Seattle's skyline darling long before the Space Needle arrived in 1962. When Smith Tower opened, it was the fourth-tallest building in the world and, for nearly 50 years, it was the West Coast's tallest.

- Clorox becomes 'it' brand in world sheltered in place, fearful of virus
The purchase includes the neighboring Florence Building, a 4,800-square-foot structure with offices above a retail store, according to public records.
Unico plans to invest in upgrades to the elevator, restrooms and amenities in the historic Chinese Room and observation deck on the 35th floor, the top of the tower's commercial section. The company said it also plans to work with the Seattle Underground Tour to include a trip to the Chinese Room and observation deck as part of its itinerary.
The upgrades to the Smith Tower will "further solidify its reputation as a premier city landmark that offers a superior corporate image for both professional services and creative and technology firms," Carner said.
The buildings were acquired in 2012 by affiliates of CBRE Capital Markets in New York through a trustee sale with a bid of $36.795 million. No cash changed hands because CBRE was owed $44 million.
The previous owner, Walton Street Capital of Chicago, bought the buildings in 2006 from the Samis Foundation for $44 million and initially planned to convert them to condos. That plan, which sent office tenants fleeing, imploded with the bursting of the housing bubble.
In June 2012, Smith Tower's vacancy peaked at 86.6 percent, according to OfficeSpace.com. Since then, the vacancy rate has come down to about 27 percent.
Unico said Wednesday it will own and manage the 264,346-square-foot office building. Tenants include shoe designer Dolce Vita, suite operator Regus and three technology firms, Projectline, Cozi and Portent.
About 70,000 square feet in the building is vacant, a Unico spokeswoman said, with the largest office space offering 11,000 square feet.
Unico has gone on a buying spree since its long-term ground lease on the University of Washington's Metropolitan Tract in downtown Seattle expired on Oct. 31.
In November, Unico bought the Grand Central Building, a 110,000-square-foot complex of three brick buildings at 216 First Ave., for $16.5 million. Constructed in 1889, the Grand Central Building will be "a premier location to a broad set of companies" once the Alaskan Way Viaduct is removed, the company said.
Last month, Unico teamed with Seattle-based Laird Norton Properties to buy Skanska USA's Stone34 office and retail building in the Fremont neighborhood for nearly $70.1 million.
And on Dec. 31, it bought Pemco's headquarters in South Lake Union for $51.75 million.
With the latest deal, Unico said it's bullish on Pioneer Square's future.
The neighborhood is transit-rich, with access to Union Station, light rail and the bus tunnel. Weyerhaeuser boosted the neighborhood's prospects in August when it announced its headquarters would move from Federal Way to Pioneer Square in 2016, when a new building at 200 Occidental Ave. S. is complete.

READING, PA (September 16, 2018) – Berks County Community Foundation issued this statement today regarding the passing of Carl D. Herbein, a community leader and CEO of Herbein + Co. Inc.
Community Foundation President Kevin K. Murphy stated:
"We learned with deep sadness of the passing of Carl Herbein. Carl was one of those rare business leaders who was passionately dedicated to supporting good work in Berks County but was never interested in taking credit for the results.
"His quiet, self-effacing manner disguised a mind that combined both intelligence and wisdom in ample shares. While Berks County mourns the loss of a friend and a stalwart of civic life, Carl's beloved accounting profession has lost one of its most important thought leaders. Generations of business owners relied on his guidance and judgement.
"Carl and Kathy were honored by the Community Foundation and Fulton Bank in April as recipients of the 2018 Thun Award, which is given to Berks residents who contribute to the improvement of the quality of life through civic service and philanthropy.
"Our thoughts are with Kathy and their family today."
Berks County Community Foundation is a nonprofit corporation that serves as a civic leader for our region by developing, managing and distributing charitable funds aimed at improving the quality of life in Berks County. More information is available at www.bccf.org.

Microsoft might invest in Facebook!
Posted by Media Outrage on September 25, 2007
The rumors are swirling on Wall Street about a possible investment of $300-$500 million investment from Microsoft, which would land Facebook's current total value in between $10-$15billion! Wow and this whole time we thought Peter Thiel (one of Facebook's investors) was smoking rocks when he said that $1billion offer for the company was laughable. Thiel said that he placed Facebook's value somewhere around $7 or $8 billion up there with MTV.
Zuckerberg said last year that he felt that Myspace sold themselves short to Rupert Murdoch's News Corp for $580 million. He was probably right because in the next few months video giant YouTube sold out to Google for $1.65billion in stock.
So whatever is going on in silicon valley it seems that Mark Zuckerberg has the right idea and knows how to play the game. (The longer you hold out and refuse to sell, the more value it places on your company and product! Wow its just like dating. The longer a female withholds her goodies the harder the guy tries, the more he likes her, and he ends up spending more money for that ass!) Don't you just love our business acumen???

Why is performing site survey be important
A Wireless Network Engineer is responsible for installing, configuring and maintaining wireless network equipment, network management and security including 802.11 b/g/n/ac standards and industry best practices for implementing high-density WIFI solutions.
Moreover, to put it concisely, this person needs to assess, plan and develop for several operations capabilities for wireless telecommunications.
As more companies continue to embrace Wireless LAN, the demand for wireless network engineers has grown manifold in the recent past. The proliferation of mobile applications, which require testing in a wireless environment, is also one of the other reasons why enterprises need their services more, currently.
But with the emergence of Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) DevOps, the advent of 5G, and virtualization, it is necessary for Wireless Network Engineer to be open to reskill themselves, as it could likely bring about changes that might change the way they operate.
It is, however, averred by experts that despite all the changes that may take place in the networking landscape, the demand for Wireless Network Engineers will continue to rise.

On trial, he became the only defendant yet to come close to telling the truth about what happened.
Conservative columnist Robert Novak passed away on Aug. 18 at the age of 78. RFA Executive Editor Dan Southerland tells the story of a dangerous road trip with the famous commentator at the outset of the war in Cambodia in 1970.
As the Khmer Rouge Tribunal in Phnom Penh sheds light on horrors perpetrated by that regime thirty years ago, Dan Southerland recalls that reporters and photographers were also not spared.
Dith Pran, the hero of "The Killing Fields," was an interpreter and "fixer" in 1970. It was the first year of the war in Cambodia, a time when many Cambodians truly believed that they could defeat the Vietnamese Communists. At that time, the Khmer Rouge were just emerging as a military force that would ultimately conquer the country and send Dith Pran to a labor camp.
On April 17, 1975, the Khmer Rouge captured Phnom Penh, starting a four-year reign of terror in Cambodia. RFA's chief editor Dan Southerland visits battlefields he covered as a war correspondent from 1970-75. In these blogs, Southerland reports how many older Cambodians are trying to forget the Khmer Rouge trauma, while younger Cambodians know little of their own history.
Interviewing refugees can be tricky business. They sometimes tell you what they think you want to hear. Some exaggerate in order to gain sympathy.
The brother of one of the world's most notorious mass murderers is sleeping peacefully in his hammock.
In the later stages of the war in Cambodia, refugees began to describe the widespread killing of civilians in areas under Khmer Rouge control.
Nothing looks familiar to me except the empty highway stretching straight ahead toward Vietnam. But I can still make out the place where my two colleagues disappeared, never to be seen again
"I find few scars of war and conflict here that might remind them of what happened when the Khmer Rouge took over the country and killed more than 1 million—some say as many as 2 million—of Cambodia's people."

You know, it's fun when you go on a forum about Bipolar and one of the first topics you read happens to be about someone who has received the (in)famous personality disorder diagnosis instead. *sigh* It just makes me wonder lots of things and it's a little difficult to express things at things so this may seem a little disjointed.
I seem to be perplexed as to why things seem to not be progressing. Can't say I'm terribly surprised because let's face it, how quickly are things ever going to change? I know what you're thinking, "what needs to change?" (either that or "Who gives a fuck?"), to which I reply… I don't really give a fuck but at the same time I do. How's that for contrariness?
Ok, let me try and narrow it down.
To begin with, we're getting bloody stupid with the diagnosis system. I'm sorry but the whole thing is almost critically flawed and seems to screw people about no end for no reason than to just play silly buggers. Seems there are issues with the definition of "personality disorder" and also how such a thing comes about. As such you get some who think that personality disorders are genetic etc which is a great way to describe them as long as you don't mind being completely and utterly wrong. If they were genetic or any variation of a physical precept then they would comfortably fall under the title of "psychiatric condition" which they aren't, they're psychological conditions.
I've covered personality disorders before yet I find myself covering those points once again. A personality disorder comes about due to stress incurred during the formative years of the ego which distorts the standard development of the personality. Now, it depends on a few dimensions as to the likelihood of a personality disorder being there, such as level of stressor time under stressor, and susceptibility to stressors. That last one is where we can look at genetics although we'll save the looking for later. If I could draw a diagram it would be a radar chart with each of the points marked out and then you'd be able to see how likely a personality disorder is by how much area is covered. The standard psychology model of using life experiences and how issues manifest themselves to determine type of personality disorder would remain.
So, shall we look at the genetic component? This would be the same genetic possibility of having any mental health condition which is normally derived by a family history taken, it doesn't matter overly what the diagnoses were, just that they were there. This history doesn't guarantee mental illness, merely hints at the likelihood of it occuring. As such, in theory it should also give an idea as to likelihood of a personality disorder. Looking at it like that then instead of the current practise of single diagnosis, it's going to look more likely to encourage professionals to consider a dual diagnosis. If this were the case then I think we'd end up with happier service users and possibly better tailored care plans.
Just a thought.

The Chrysler Voyager is a popular vehicle that's great on the road and offers seven seats of passenger space with an ample boot at the rear. It's not going to win any prizes for good looks, but when it comes to carrying power it's up there with some of the best.
First introduced by Chrysler in 1984, this model became a stalwart of the range in the US before it was released in the EU in 1988 and has undergone a slight rebrand in recent years as the Grand Voyager. It is a well-engineered car that makes a great second-hand purchase. However, you should be aware of several known faults with the car.
When you put your foot on the brakes during the test drive, if you can hear a hissing noise then you are probably looking at an issue that occurs with the Chrysler Voyager's brake servo. It isn't the most dangerous problem, but you will need to replace the part to get rid of the noise.
Suspension Bushes
When you're taking your potential purchase out on the open road try to drive over some rougher roads as this will give you a good indication as to the condition of the suspension bushes. These are reportedly one of the first parts to fail in the car. Confirm your suspicions by giving the car a quick push on the bonnet and checking that the car returns to its position in a single bounce.
Automatic Gearbox
Looking at buying a diesel automatic model? Take the car for a test drive and push it up to high speeds quickly. If the automatic gearbox baulks and fails to engage properly then you have an issue with transmission. This is one of the most-costly known faults to repair in this Chrysler minivan.
Shock Absorber Failure
Ride quality is an important factor, and there is a known problem with the shock absorbers on the Chrysler Voyager. Fortunately, there is a very quick check that you can perform whilst the vehicle is stationary. Simply look under the wheel arch at the springs. If there are any signs of moisture on the parts this is a very good indicator that the shocks are leaking and not up to standard.
Electric Door Issues
There is a widely-reported fault with the electronically operated latch on this Chrysler minivan's electric sliding door. Easy enough to diagnose – if the door works using the manual controls, but not the automatic switch – then you know the latch has failed. There have also been reported issues with the motor not working.
Check the service history of any Chrysler Voyager you're thinking of buying, especially if it's one of the earliest models, as there was a known problem with the rear seatbelt fixing, which caused a widespread recall. You'll want to see evidence that the work was completed.
Power Steering
If the Voyager you are looking at purchasing was manufactured in the early 2000s then it could have been the subject of a recall due to a serious fault with the power steering that could cause the vehicle to catch fire. Again, have a good look at the Chrysler service history to check the work was properly completed.
Reports in the online review communities seem to give an overwhelmingly positive response to the Voyager's capabilities as a used car. Owners believe their vehicles to be of a high quality with a robust character that has the strength to last for years, carrying the larger family unit. These qualities make it a great buy for a family looking to maximise space and roadworthiness for their money.

Almost 15,000 Philippine sailors are currently working on Dutch flagged ships. Working on board Dutch ships generally offers a great opportunity for these sailors, because of the decent salaries, good working conditions and career prospects. An exception is the case of 'Shipping Crew', a company consisting of a Netherlands-based parent company and a Philippines-based subsidiary. The case is still before the court in the Philippines so the outcome of the trial cannot be prejudged.
The company in question owns ships and recruits sailors for inland shipping in the Netherlands. The recruitment is being done through its local manning agency in the Philippines. The sailors all signed contracts with the Philippines-based recruitment agency. The Dutch parent company would then apply for work and residence permits in the Netherlands. Many of the sailors would go and work on inland vessels owned by the Dutch parent company itself. Others would be employed on other inland vessels through the Dutch company.
When applying for a visa at the embassy, sailors are required to submit their contract to be endorsed by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), among others. While dealing with such visa, an embassy official noticed that the salaries on these POEA contracts were far below the Dutch minimum wages. When questioned about these contracts and the minimum wages, the Dutch parent company claimed that the sailors were paid in accordance with Dutch minimum wages and presented (Dutch) contracts with a higher wage.
According to the parent company, the salaries mentioned in the Dutch contracts were the real salaries. However, the embassy concluded that the company was using two contracts for one and the same sailor. The embassy informed the enforcement agencies in the Netherlands about the signs of exploitation, and that to all appearances the Philippine sailors were being defrauded and exploited.
Investigation 'Cornwall'
Also in 2011, the maritime unit of the police and the labour inspectorate followed up on reports and signs that Philippine seamen working on Dutch ships in inland waterways were being exploited. They began a joint investigation, called 'Cornwall.' The investigation revealed that some men were indeed working long hours without days off for weeks and even months on end. They were unable to leave the ship because their passports had been taken.
At the centre of the investigation was the Dutch parent company, which was suspected of forging applications for labour contracts and residence permits. After coordination between the Public Prosecution Service and the Labour Inspectorate in the Netherlands, the Netherlands Embassy in the Philippines and the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Justice, cases were filed against the officials of the parent company in the Netherlands for THB for labour exploitation.
In the Philippines, based on a criminal and administrative investigation, charges for illegal recruitment were likewise filed against the officials of the local manning agency.
Partners involved in the cooperation
- The Netherlands Embassy in the Philippines: detection of signs of trafficking from the visa applications of sailors: coordination between Dutch and Philippine authorities
- Public Prosecution Service and Inspectorate SZW of the Netherlands: investigation and prosecution of the case
- Department of Foreign Affairs in the Philippines: official channel for the request for legal assistance
- Department of Justice of the Philippines: central authority in coordinating requests for legal assistance in the Philippines
- Philippine Overseas Employment Administration: provision of information on the local manning agency; administrative investigation of the case
- Philippine Anti-Money Laundering Council: assistance in tracing the money trail of the subsidiary in the Philippines; freezing and forfeiture of assets.
What made this case successful?
The multi-sectoral approach to this case, involving players from different jurisdictions, was a very complex process. Howerver, it ensured that all angles of the case were dealt with.
In the Netherlands, the officials of the parent company have been convicted of migrant smuggling, forgery of documents and running a criminal organisation. They were given a prison sentence of 15 months, of which 5 suspended. The company was also convicted and given a fine of € 65,000. The court found there was not enough evidence of THB. The Public Prosecution Service has lodged an appeal against the acquittal for THB.
In the Philippines, administrative sanctions (suspension of license) have been imposed against the local manning agency. A criminal case is still on-going with a case for forfeiture of assets filed. Millions of pesos have been frozen by the Anti-Money Laundering Council.
The Philippines has amended its anti-trafficking and anti-money laundering law, with this case against the parent company and its local manning agent as a model. The changes are aimed at setting up a trust fund for victims of trafficking in human beings, financed by the frozen assets.

It is He Who has appointed the stars for you so you might be guided by them in the darkness of the land and sea. We have made the Signs clear for people who have knowledge. (6:97)
He cast firmly embedded mountains on the earth so it would not move under you, and rivers and pathways so that hopefully you would be guided, and landmarks. And they are guided by the stars. (16:15-16)
When Yusuf told his father, 'Father! I saw eleven bright stars, and the sun and moon as well. I saw them all prostrate in front of me.' (12:4)
He (Ibrahim) took a look at the stars. (37:88)
When night covered him he (Ibrahim) saw a star and said, 'This is my Lord!' Then when it set he said, 'I do not love what sets.' (6:76)
And I swear by the falling of the stars. (56:75)

I'll write about Ghana tomorrow, but right now all I can think about is Vincent.
He slipped away this morning, early, before I came on to work. His breathing slowed and then just. stopped. And I can't help thinking that, out of the whole year, this would be the best weekend to die; the weekend when no one doubts the truth of heaven, when the whole world is celebrating a risen Saviour. When all over the country there are huge gatherings of people in their finest clothes, dancing and singing under the palm trees because death has no sting.
No sting. Maybe that wasn't quite true this morning when I pulled back the curtain in the empty ward where he lay, when I saw his face, so still in death. It stung a little just then, until I remembered the truth, and for the first time I really understood what they mean when they say it'll set you free.
My heart was free then. To know that Vincent is no longer in pain, that he's resting in the arms of a God who is very much alive, very much in the business of putting things right. It was a feeling like breathing again after being underwater for far too long, like I noticed only just then that I'd been holding my breath for the past few weeks, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Only this time the falling shoe looks like peace and comfort and release.
All day, people have been coming to me to hug me and pay their condolences, and it feels like I should be standing at the foot of his coffin, receiving them in place of the ones who turned away. For the first time, the message on the captain's board didn't ask for prayer for the family, just for those who cared for him and today, for the first time, there was no difference between the two.
I lost a brother today, but it feels like flying to know that he is free.

Think instead of how Vincent's passing has been marked by those who cared about him, rather than those who should have, could have and didn't. I can think of nothing - NOTHING - sadder than to leave this world unnoticed and unmourned. His final days were spent with people who truly cared for him and about him and who would have done anything to ease his suffering. To me that is family, despite any accidents of birth. Vincent was very lucky to have all of you as his family at the end of days.

I'm so thankful that Vincent is whole and healthy now with Jesus. Thank you for sharing his story so that others could also pray.
with many hugs and much love,

I am so thankful that our God sets things right, that there is a place called heaven, and that suffering does in fact have an end... but I do hate that emptiness left when a person dies, and a soul leaves just a hollow body in its place.
he is HOME! again, this was one that my kids couldn't fully grasp. they pray for him as "the boy whose family didn't want him just because he got sick". but now, he's no longer sick, nor homeless, nor Fatherless. what a reception of friends await us in heaven, no?!
I Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Wow! There are some great comments on here today! I have been blessed just reading them!
To think that he IS free!
To think that God brought this one into your life to show him love that others could or would not!!
I hope that comforts you, to know that even in a situation like this, God has/had a plan! And He is using you!!!
To think that he IS free!

Christ has prepared the way! Blessed be his holy name. HIs resurrection proved he had conquered death and hell. He has fully carried our sins and the punishment due for them. Before His throne there is no race or ethnicity. We are all His bride, bought with a price. Glory be to His holy name.

This seems to me like a money grab. With all due respect to ImmoralMinority, this is why people don't like lawyers.
Is this part of an overzealous 24 hr news cycle, yes. Is this worth 250 million? Not a chance. Will the Post settle for significantly less, the kid gets some cash, and the lawyers get their chunk? Yes. I'm calling my shot.

TORONTO — Jon Cooper, Peter DeBoer, Dave Tippett and Jay Woodcroft will serve as assistant coaches for the 23-and-under Team North America at the World Cup of Hockey.
They'll work under head coach Todd McLellan.
Cooper, a dual citizen from Prince George, B.C., is known for his efforts with younger players with the Tampa Bay Lightning and in the American Hockey League.
The 48-year-old led the Lightning to the Stanley Cup final last spring and won the AHL's Calder Cup with the Norfolk Admirals in 2012.
DeBoer, who coaches the San Jose Sharks after stints with the New Jersey Devils, won the Memorial Cup with the Ontario Hockey League's Kitchener Rangers in 2003.
The Dunnville, Ont., native led the Devils to the 2012 Cup final and has been an assistant for Canada at the world championships four times.
Tippett of the Arizona Coyotes won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's top coach in 2010.
A native of Moosomin, Sask., Tippett was head coach for Canada at the 2014 world championships.
Woodcroft has long been McLellan's right-hand man, serving as an assistant in San Jose and now with the Edmonton Oilers.
The 39-year-old from Toronto won a gold medal with McLellan and Canada at the 2015 world championships.
Team North America general manager Peter Chiarelli said he and associate GM Stan Bowman were considering coaches across the NHL as assistants for McLellan's staff but not junior or minor-league coaches.

Despite having over 40-plus acres of vineyards in the northeasterly sector of Napa just south of Calistoga, the production at Araujo remains relatively limited, with the flagship wine, the Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard, producing between 1,600 and 2,200 cases of wine, and the second wine, the Altagracia, between 800 and 1,200 cases. Add to that another 1,000 cases of Sauvignon Blanc and 300-400 cases of Syrah, and there is just not a lot to go around given the greatness that can be achieved from this vineyard. Much of the credit has to go to proprietors Bart and Daphne Araujo and, of course, their top-notch winemaking team, which has always been led by Francoise Peschon. Araujo's second wines are among the finest second wines consumers will find in northern California. For example, the Altagracia cuvees, which represent 25-35% of the production, have been outstanding examples of Cabernet Sauvignon. Araujo has done an excellent job with Syrah, which they typically co-ferment with 3-4% Viognier. Sadly, only 300-400 cases are produced. (RP)
Good red-ruby. Aromas of raspberry, smoke, gravel and nutty oak. Smooth in the middle palate, with flavors of plum, mocha and tobacco and nicely integrated acidity. The building tannins are a bit hard-edged, but this second wine, from young vines and "less-good lots," offers attractive sweetness, good life and firm structure.
