The Navy SEAL ethos of never leaving a shipmate behind is stretched to the limit through two generations of SEALS. Randall Jenkins has never given up on his BUD/s teammate, but due to failing health, he must recruit his son to carry on the search for Edgar Allan Jollar. The search takes place on three continents. Decades have gone by, and D. D. Jenkins takes up the search with very little hope of finding his father's shipmate. While Jenkins carries on the search for Jollar, Phung Tu, an NVA soldier, has carried on his fight against the Americans until they are driven out of his country. He never has forgotten the American blonde giant who frightened him so much as a boy and created the humiliation of having soiled himself in fear that night in the Mekong. His hatred of all things Western has driven him for all his years fighting for his country. Now middle age has found both Tu and Jollar; their lives have settled into a routine that has left the war behind. But unbeknownst to either man, they lives would continue to enmesh in ways neither man could fathom.

Public invited to view hospital energy centre plans
Proposed plans for the new energy centre at the University Hospital of North Tees are set to go on display.
Members of the public are invited to view the plans and speak to staff from the architects, engineers and the trust's estates team, in the main concourse at the University Hospital of North Tees, on Thursday 7 July between 2pm and 8pm.
The plans will be available to view at the hospital, where people can leave their comments until 3 August.
The new energy centre is part of the trust's investment plans, after successfully securing £25m last year to carry out much needed investment in the trust's infrastructure, which will secure the longer term future of the hospital.
Peter Mitchell, deputy director for support services at the trust said: "Before we finalise and submit the proposals to Stockton Borough Council, we want to give people the opportunity to talk to the estates team and review the design. This will provide people with a better understanding of the proposals and give them a chance to give us their comments.
"As parts of the hospital, particularly the boilers, heating plant and electrical plant, are now nearly 50 years old we need to replace them to ensure that services remain safe and reliable and able to maintain the operational effectiveness of the hospital.
"We have therefore developed proposals to replace the existing boiler room with a new energy centre which will be more reliable, more energy efficient and more environmentally friendly."
Staff, members of the public and other interested parties can also view the proposed plans below and send their comments to email@example.com

Most homeowners shy away from employing the use staging companies of Tampa for fear of the charges. Well, if you are such a homeowner, we want to assure you there is no need to be fearful.
At Home Staging Tampa, we offer you the option of staging the most inexpensive property styling solutions. This is by applying the occupied home staging option.

Yahoo! My Yahoo! Mail More Yahoo! Services Account Options New User? Sign Up Sign In Help Yahoo! Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Weekend Edition Dispute stalls Dutch PlayStation 3 shipment AFP - Saturday, March 5 Send IM Story Print Dispute stalls Dutch PlayStation 3 shipment Slideshow: Full Photo Coverage: Personal Technology TOKYO (AFP) - – Japanese electronics giant Sony said a shipment of its PlayStation 3 consoles was being held in a Dutch port after a court upheld a patent complaint filed by South Korea's LG Electronics. The shipment, reported to comprise tens of thousands of consoles, has been held since February after the Dutch court handed down a temporary injunction against importing the goods, said Sony spokesman Yasuhiro Okada in Tokyo. "The shipment has been stalled since late last month," Okada said, adding that the move came after LG filed a complaint that Sony violated its Blue-ray technologies with the product. He said that despite the Netherlands being one of Sony's major access points to Europe, the court decision had not affected its entire PS3 shipment to the region as there were other entry points. But the spokesman declined to elaborate further on when the company expects the shipment to be released or how many units would be affected due to the injunction. Dow Jones Newswires, citing a person familiar with the situation, said the shipment comprised tens of thousands of PS3 consoles and that the court had handed down a 10-day injunction. LG spokesman Kenneth Hong confirmed LG had filed a patent complaint against Sony with the International Trade Commission in the United States earlier this year, relating to its Blu-ray video technology used in PlayStation 3 machines. But he said the company could not comment on pending legal matters. Sony might have to pay LG a royalty for every PlayStation 3 game console it sells around the world should it lose the patent claim, potentially costing Sony millions of dollars, the Financial Times reported. Both sides are locked in patent disputes on various technologies in Europe and the United States. Last year, Sony brought a patent infringement claim of its own against LG Electronics to the International Trade Commission in Washington. It claimed that LG mobile phones violated its intellectual property rights and sought to prevent the handsets from being shipped to the United States. With prices of assembled goods such as TVs being pushed lower by increasing competition, companies are upping scrutiny of rival products and more aggressively pursuing patent royalties, analysts say. "Electronics companies are struggling to maintain profits amid rigorous price competition," said Koki Shiraishi, analyst at Daiwa Securities Capital Markets. He added that the Dutch court's move was unusual and would impact supply if the injunction was extended. "What seems more common in the United States or Japan is that administrators do not get so involved in such disputes. To me the decision made by the Dutch court does not seem to be a common practice," he said. "Usually companies try to keep inventories for about two weeks, so I don't think the 10-day suspension will really hit the European market. But if the suspension gets extended, it would inevitably have an impact."

When we were going through the monumental task of sorting Mac's belongings after she passed away, there were some items that we just couldn't stand to give away or trash. One of them was a coffee table.
A broken, faded, old coffee table. When I picked up, it literally fell apart in dozens of pieces. And still, we couldn't get rid of it. This piece was purchased in Detroit by my aunt in the late 1950s/early 60s and she gave it to Mac and Grandpa. Even in its rough shape, Mac would never have allowed anyone to get rid of it, so we couldn't get rid of it after she passed away. Instead, it became a labor of love. I spent several days putting the table back together…piece by piece.
I scrubbed and cleaned. I took an SOS to the laminate top and shelf. I glued the brass bars back in place. And finally, it was one piece again. Rough, but in one piece. Once it was a solid coffee table again, I took some Waverly's Silver Lining chalkpaint and touched up the sides and legs.(By the way, LOOOOVE Waverly's chalk paint & price!).
This was a fun piece to work on because I knew it meant so much to Grandma Mac. It was her heirloom piece that I will now keep as my heirloom piece. I added my $1 Cabinet Tray to the top and some of my treasures.
Since my decor is all modern retro, this piece fits perfectly! It's smaller in size since it's authentic retro and perfect for the space.
I'm so happy I was able to salvage this piece and bring its original life and character back. More importantly, I'm glad I have something that was so important to Mac.

SHC summons Customs Today, 92 Channel and others in Rs900 million defamation suit
KARACHI: In a petition filed by DP World Qasim International Container Terminal (QICT), the Sindh High Court has summoned a number of defendants including Customs Today, Lucky Traders, Global Logistics Company, 92 Channel, Asad Kharal, Shahid Mehmud and others on December 06, 2018. The petitioner instituted a suit against the defendants claiming damages of Rs900 million. It may be mentioned here All Pakistan Shipping Association (APSA), the representative body of shipping fraternity, have filed defamatory suits 92/2018, 93/2018 and 95/2018 before the District and Session Court Karachi under Defamation Ordinance 2002 and the court has pleased to restrain Customs today from making or circulating any defamatory statements in written or spoken, directly or indirectly and a Criminal Complaint under section 499/500 Pakistan Penal Code is being lodged against website and its agents and management. According to APSA its members handle the entire seaborne trade of Pakistan amounting to almost 70 billion rupees each year and contribute several hundred million dollars to the national exchequer each year. APSA has expressed its grave concern at the heinous and libelous campaign which is relentlessly being disseminated by an unregistered, tabloid website "Customs today" for the last two months against its member shipping lines, terminal operators and their respective principals, directors and employees of alleged blackmailing and breach of trust and provisions of Pakistan Custom Act. Sources said a particular cartel of toy importers was involved in revenue evasion through black mailing tactics. The modus operandi is such that they intimidate through telephone calls through their so-called news analyst and then send their Agent namely Mr. Imran who introduces himself as a representative of said freight forwarder & Customs today. He then intimidates the staff of the carrier/operator through threats of publication of the news story if the waiver of charges is not granted. If the staff of the carrier/terminal operator rejects the demands, next day they start a malicious campaign on the website. Using the same modus operandi, this gang pressurized the customs officials and unlawfully obtained Delay-Detention Certificates against various shipments that were held by Pakistan Customs on account of mis-declaration. Petitions filed at Sindh High Court by these importers were disposed after payment of applicable duties/taxes. Those importers got their containers released but it is pertinent to mentioned here that despite mis-declarations in an item to evade government revenue, they managed to get Delay Detention Certificate for shipments from customs. Thereafter, these importers in connivance with Freight Forwarder Global Logistics Co., started harassing and pressurizing the carriers and terminal operators through the so-called tabloid news portal and got their containers released through Custom Release Order to Terminal operator in terms of Rule 442 of Pakistan Customs Rules. However, later the custom competent authorities vide letter dated 11-Sep-2018 informed our members that pending investigation, all these DDCs may be treated as withdrawn ab initio. Sources said a member FBR and a senior most officers of Customs Appraisement South were patronizing this cartel.

5 Tips for Installing Security System in Your Home
If you are interested in the installation of a security system in your home, there are a few things you should first consider. From the start, you should be aware of the fact that such a system offers superior advantages, especially when compared to the standard versions. However, it will also operate on a more complex basis, requiring both a credential and a specific action to work. Keep on reading and learn useful tips from Non-Stop Locksmith Sarasota. And, remember, a good security system can help you sleep peacefully and feel protected at all times.
1. Consider your security needs
Each property can be an easy target for burglars, especially if there is no security system installed. Nevertheless, before you decide on a particular system, you should think about your security needs. If you are looking to protect valuable belongings, as well as your family, from break-ins, a security system is the best choice. The best thing to do is talk to a specialist before taking any final decisions; only someone with experience can help you install a system suitable for you and your family.

2. Get the specifics
In today's modern world, you might find yourself dazzled at how many details are available for security home systems. While you might not be familiar with many of the terminologies, do not hesitate to inquire about specifics facts. For example, does the system come with night vision and motion detectors? What is the quality of the Internet connectivity? If there are particular terms you do not understand, do not be afraid to require further explanations. After all, your security is at stake.

3. Premise assessment
You should not decide on a particular security home system, without having an experienced technician coming to your home and performing a premise assessment. This specialist can determine which type of access is most suited, choosing between the PIN, biometric devices, specific actions and physical barriers. Moreover, he/she can analyze the entry points and number of sensors that are necessary, as well as other significant details.

4. Choose a trustworthy provider
After you have talked to several providers, it is time to make a final choice. It is essential that you feel comfortable with the person who is going to come into your home and handle your security needs. If necessary, request references and inquire about background checks for the personnel. Keep in mind that security systems are more complicated than the standard ones, so technicians have to be skilled in this area.

5. Prepare for the installation
security systems can require several days to be installed, depending on how complicated they are. What you can do is prepare your home for the installation, so that the technician can come and go through the process, without having to waste precious time. It is essential to understand that the specialist will need an additional amount of time, as he/she will have to demonstrate how the system works.
In conclusion, these are some of the most important tips to remember when it comes to the installation of a security system in your home. Keep in mind that such a system can protect both you and your personal belongings against burglars, allowing you to feel safe at all times.

The Force is Strong with the Fandom...
When I came home from work on Thursday, September 3, 2015, my wife got an unexpected question. I was just as surprised myself. I asked her if she would go to a midnight opening of Toys"R"Us for the launch of Star Wars: The Force Awakens merchandise. Because she is wonderful, she agreed.
But it was a strange request. See, I have not jumped on the hype bandwagon. Ever since the director was announced, I have had nothing but doubts. I find JJ films to be adequate entertainment but little more, and I felt his Star Trek films were actually out of line with the tone and feel of the entire series. Even when seeing the figure leaks over last few weeks, I was curious at best... but then Hasbro got me with that same old nostalgia trick by putting Micro Machines back on the shelves. I loved Galoob's Original Trilogy run in the 90's, and I was open to renewing that pursuit. Plus, the LEGO Millenium Falcon seemed legit, and I thought I might treat myself. So I figured "why not, you only live once right? It's been 10 years since the last opening of a proper Star Wars film, and we may never encounter this level of enthusiasm again. Let's enjoy this brief geek culture moment."
Now, time for flashback. In 2008, I was covering the San Diego Comic Con, and the nearby Toys"R"Us opened at midnight in conjunction with the Clone Wars animated movie (I think). I remember at the time being shocked at the number of people there, I didn't think the Force still had such a pull. Granted, I was at the arguable mecca of geekdom, and perhaps interest levels there were more concentrated than among the general public, but I remember a certain energy in the line. Though the prequels had tainted Star Wars among most folks, many fans still had faith in the force.
Flash forward now seven years later, and once again, I'm surprised by the attendance. My wife and I arrive at TRU about 11:45 PM. I had expected maybe 15 to 20 dudes my age or older casually sitting around waiting for the doors to open. Seems I am out of touch. At least 100 people in the 18-45 demographic were standing in line waiting their first chance at a Kylo Ren, BB-8, and of course those new Stormtroopers.
I heard the usual conversations taking place: why overproduction killed figure values during the prequel era, how the laser discs became an important item in the '90s (you may remember the whole "buy it now, for the last time" marketing campaign), and of course, reminiscing about the last time they were out at midnight hunting for Star Wars. About 5 to midnight, the evening manager came out and made some announcements before opening the doors. I did not hear them, but the gist was, "free stuff; limited quantities; please don't destroy the store, we would like to get home by 3 AM." I felt embarrassed for all of us that she felt the need to voice said request, but such is fandom.
We made our way through the doors, and I saw the employees handing out posters, but by the time I reached the desk the prints were gone. But the collectible LEGO brick was available, so I was happy.
Despite Micro Machines being the hook that snagged me, my wife and I went directly to the LEGO. To be honest, by this point, I had my sites my heart set on the on the Millennium Falcon, even if it the cost was a bit of a stretch (I could sell some stuff in my current collection to cover it). My wife, knowing that I am the indecisive type told me to grab the set while I could and hold onto it as we made our way to the through the store. It was a good thing she did. Within two minutes of my grabbing it, another collector literally brought a cart into the LEGO aisle and just started taking 2 to 3 of each TFA set off the shelf. It was kind of unbelievable that it happened, and I was relieved that I took my better half's advice. On reflection, I felt the store understocked the larger LEGO stuff. Adult collectors were clearly going to be the bulk of the midnight shoppers, and we are the ones that drop $150 on a children's toy at midnight when we have to go to work in the morning. (Yep, let that sentence sink in for a second).
My possible souvenir for the evening picked, we made our way across the store into the action figure section. It's hard to describe what we encountered there. First, it felt like some shortage of a vital resource had been announced and folks were just getting whatever they could. On the way home, my wife told me that she witnessed a few later arrivals sprinting to the action figure section in hopes of finding some specific character only to be filled with disappointment upon reaching the aisle and finding it in relative shambles (guess the manager was right to make her announcement). Second, this was the local community shopping; many of these folks knew each other, and a few even swapped goodies to help each other out; some also seemed to be vendors, either buying up or checking the lay of the land of what would be "hot items" on the collector market. Third, from what I could tell, the 3 3/4" figures are still the bread and butter of the line. Our TRU had plenty of stock and a fair share of emptied pegs.
A few other tidbits:
I did not see a single 6 inch Star Wars black figure the entire evening, and I am guessing that, like Target, they were extremely limited. We found a very well stocked Micro Machine section, but truth be told, they were an utter disappointment and almost entirely untouched. I had heard rumblings online that these slipped passed quality control, but seeing them first hand sealed the deal. It's neat to see them back, no doubt, but it's pretty clear that Hasbro is taking the "cheap for the kiddos" approach on this once-revered toy line (guess that the Titanium series is the adult-oriented offering - a bummer, to be sure. Funny thing: for the price of the LEGO Falcon, I could have gotten nearly the entire run of Micro Machines for the new flic, had tiny versions of the full run of major characters and vehicles, but I was not swayed (plus, like I said, I'm still not sold on how good the film will be).
JAKKS' larger figures went mostly untouched, but their 4-foot Stormtrooper impressed me. It was arguably one of the coolest sites in the aisle. The role play items had gotten some attention, too. Didn't see a single Kylo hiltsaber, though.
Of course, we need not worry about inventory at all. The Force is strong with the fandom, and all companies involved intend to cash-in. If the film is as successful as many are predicting, the merchandise behemoth that is Star Wars: The Force Awakens will dominate tog aisles from now until next summer's tent poles take over the shelves.
And let's be honest, an event like "Force Friday" is just as much about the experience itself. There's more to tell about mine, but that's not for this article. I'll just say that I loved it, and I look forward to the next one!

Associated Press
Social-media and marketing star "Grumpy Cat," whose famous frown attracted millions of followers and may have been the first-ever viral meme, has died at the age of 7, her owners said Friday.
The cat, whose real name was Tardar Sauce, first appeared on Reddit in 2012 with over 1 million views in 48 hours, then immediately clawed her way into social-media and television lore thanks to a permanent pout that was the result of feline dwarfism and an underbite.
She died in the arms of owner Tabatha Bundesen earlier this week, due to complications from a urinary-tract infection.
Grumpy Cat, through the company founded by Bundesen, adorned clothing, calendars and soft toys. In fact, her image could be found on nearly 900 items in her own online shop. She was named meme of the year at the 2013 Webby awards, beating out "Gangnam Style" and "Harlem Shake." Some social-media trackers consider Grumpy Cat to be the first viral meme. The official Grumpy Cat accounts have 1.5 million followers on Twitter /zigman2/quotes/203180645/composite TWTR -1.46% and 2.4 million followers on Instagram /zigman2/quotes/205064656/composite FB +1.19% .
Grumpy Cat helped sell Honey Nut Cheerios and Friskies cat food. Skechers BOBS shoes once included a Grumpy Cat print, with proceeds from sales going partially to pet charities. She starred in a Christmas film, voiced by Aubrey Plaza. President Obama in 2015 channeled Grumpy Cat to describe "gloomy" Republicans at the time.
In at least one instance, in 2018, her owners were awarded $710,000 in a federal case in California. Grumpy Cat Ltd. had sued the owners of coffee company Grenade for exceeding an agreement over the cat's image.
Her brand's monetary value was unclear at the time of her death; a 2014 report that estimated $100 million earned over just the two years after the Reddit share was widely disputed by Bundesen , though she has never said what the cat's likeness had brought in.
"Grumpy Cat has helped millions of people smile all around the world — even when times were tough," her owners said in their post.

Better last-minute than never? A new ad has hit the airwaves in Minnesota today emphasizing Keith Ellison's "extreme views," and even more so the extreme allegations made public by his former girlfriend. The ad, which comes from the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA), gets a $100,000 boost as voters go to the polls to decide whether to make Ellison the state's top law-enforcement officer:
A new statewide ad highlights charges that Ellison physically and verbally abused women. The issue has dogged the congressman throughout his bid to become Minnesota's next attorney general.
"Keith Ellison's former girlfriend says he repeatedly assaulted her—and forcibly dragged her off her bed by her ankles while screaming profanities," the ad says. "In 2006, another girlfriend accused Ellison of abuse, saying he 'berated' and 'pushed' her." …
The ad goes on to link domestic violence to the ability of women to fight back against their abusers, highlighting Ellison's support for gun control. It says the Democrat's position would "make Minnesotans less safe," adding that Ellison's "own patterns of abuse shouldn't allow him to threaten our rights."
RAGA seems to have gotten into this game a little late. These have been issues all along, but the group says that they want to make one last emphasis on Ellison's disqualifying record:
RAGA spokesman Zack Roday said Minnesota voters deserve to hear about Ellison's "radical" record on issues of public safety.
"Every time it matters, Keith Ellison is on the wrong side of public safety issues: cop killers over law enforcement, criminals over children, sex offenders over victims," Roday said in an email. "Keith Ellison's extreme views and personal shortcoming are disqualifying; he is a dangerous choice for attorney general."
Fair enough, but Ellison opponent Doug Wardlow has been making that case himself. The Wardlow campaign launched this ad a week ago on Minnesota television, bringing up Ellison's public campaign on behalf of domestic terrorist and murderer Sarah Jane Olson, aka Kathleen Soliah:
Olson/Soliah was quite the cause celebre here in Minnesota, with several local politicians lining up to defend her after decades on the run from the law. Ellison was among those more vocal about Olson/Soliah being a political prisoner, right up until Olson/Soliah shocked supporters by pleading guilty to murder in a Bay Area armed robbery during her time with the Symbionese Liberation Army. That may be why police have endorsed Wardlow, although it may not be the only reason why.
Wardlow is certainly within range of winning the election today. Ellison only got 37% in the most recent Star Tribune poll, although SurveyUSA put him slightly ahead of Wardlow last week (44/40) in a poll with an MoE of ±5.3%. It's the closest statewide race in Minnesota, and big turnouts are expected in MN-08 and MN-01 that could carry Wardlow to victory. If Minnesotans are paying attention to TV ads, this could also convince a few DFL voters to leave the AG spot blank.

Property Alterations give rise to Council Tax increase - for new owners!Most people don't know that Regional Assessors monitor the Building Control Register. They do that to find out what alterations requiring a Building Warrant have been carried out to which property. They will then decide whether the alterations give rise to an increase in the value of the property which, in turn, causes an increase in Council Tax when it's sold.Regional Assessors in Scotland have the responsibility to set and manage Council Tax banding on behalf of Scotland's local authorities. This includes a statutory duty to maintain The Council Tax Valuation List.This power to reassess the Council Tax Banding is contained in The Council Tax (Alteration of Lists and Appeals) (Scotland) Regulations 1993. Regulation, 4(1)(a)(i) states: "no alteration of a band shall be made unless there has been a material increase in the value of the dwelling and it has subsequently been sold".If the Assessor decides that there has been an alteration that gives rise to an increase in the Council Tax Banding, Regulation 19(1) will be invoked. Regulation 19(1) determines what the "effective date" will be- in other words, when the increase will take effect. It says: "any alteration of the list effected so as to reflect a material increase in the value of a dwelling shall have effect from the day on which the first sale of the dwelling was completed".The alterations have no impact on the Council Tax position for the present owners who carry out the alterations and the re-banding only comes into play when the property is sold.

Watercolor Alphabet ArtPosted by Michele McDonald on October 25, 2016
You can create an unique piece of artwork for your nursery or toddler's bedroom with just a handful of inexpensive supplies. Alphabet art is perfect for a little one's space. It's never too early to start learning, right? And watercolor is all the rage these days so why not incorporate it into your decor. What do you get when you combine the two? A fun watercolor alphabet art that is bright and colorful and perfect for hanging on the wall!
Alphabet Stickers
Watercolor paper
Watercolor paints
Aerosol hairspray
You don't need fancy supplies to complete this project. This watercolor tablet and paints are meant for children and not very expensive.
Spray a light coat of the hairspray on the alphabet stickers. Aerosol is a must. A pump hair spray will be too wet. The hairspray will add a waterproof coat to the stickers.
Once the hairspray is dry, use a ruler to help line the alphabet stickers up on a sheet of the watercolor paper. Press firmly to ensure the paint won't get underneath the stickers.
Use water and a paintbrush to wet the paint and apply different colors to the letters and the area around them. Clean the brush between colors by rinsing in it a cup of water.
Continue painting all of the letters and the areas around them. Be sure not to over saturate the stickers.
Once the paint is dry, carefully peel off the stickers to reveal the outline of the letter below.
This is my favorite part. Look how crisp those lines are!
Frame your new artwork and dress up your little one's room with unique artwork you've created yourself! Once you've mastered the alphabet you can create artwork with other labels and stickers. The possibilities are endless!

Great idea, and a fun new baby gift! thanks for sharing on craft schooling Sunday!

A Gold Coast company claiming to "win" a boob job world record today is one of the most stupid things I've heard of in the cosmetic surgery industry. It has sparked concerns from doctors saying that surgery is being trivialised.
Let's be honest here, they are only doing this as lame publicity stunt, but no matter what they say, this simply is stupidity of the highest order. Even dumber are the people agreeing to have a "rush job" done on their bodies.
This level of stupidity makes 'Dumb & Dumber To,' the upcoming Farrelly Brothers movie with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, more resemble a movie about Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.
Australian Medical Association Queensland President, Dr Shaun Rudd, said he could not support the concept because it takes away the importance of surgery.
"Quality and safety are very important aspects of any work we do and to somehow trivialise these procedures doesn't sound like the appropriate thing to do," Dr Rudd said. "Surgery is not something that should be taken lightly."
Amazingly, the Gold Coast Medical Association President Dr Gary Swift said, "It's probably a big win for the Gold Coast because it will drive business."
And there you have it. Cosmetic Surgery is just another business. Some businesses are great, some are shoddy. Be careful who you choose.
The cosmetic surgery work is apparently run by qualified plastic surgeons who 'oversee' procedures. Oversee, as in some junior is actually doing the work? Some cosmetic surgeon learning the trade and getting experience? Uh, no thank you very much. Not on my body.
One of the women volunteering their body, but not mind, said, "That's a lot of surgeries in one day but I don't think they'd be doing it if they knew it wasn't going to be safe."
Rather than snort back a laugh, I'll just say, I know better.

Report: European Commission asks Google and Other Search Engine Companies to Reveal Ranking Factors Publically
New Policies And Rules Are Being Implemented To Address The Superior Bargaining Power Of Large IT Firms.
In a report by Reuters, European Commission is implementing new policies that would require commerce websites, search engines, and other online platforms to reveal their ranking mechanism. In addition, such companies would require explaining reasons behind penalizing or removing a company from their listings.
EU plans to bring transparency in the system and promote competition between small and large companies. The new rules will allow smaller companies to understand what is required to increase their search engine rankings. The policy will mitigate the superiority of large internet brands, which was quoted as "superior bargaining power" by Reuters.
According to Reuters, EU will not force companies to reveal their algorithms for ranking a website. However, search engine companies would need to offer explanations and descriptions of "how and to what extent the relevant ranking mechanism takes account of the quality of the products and services offered."
While it is unclear as to what it actually means, it does seem that EU is intended to compel internet giants to reveal their ranking signals. Google already has its metrics publically available, which limits the scope of new regulations by EU and its impact on the digital market.
In addition, internet companies would require giving a 15-day prior notice before changing their terms and conditions instead of prevailing retroactive practices where companies inform that their terms have changed. Moreover, any delisting or rejection from the internet, play store, etc. would require specific explanations to the concerned company rather than a list of potential issues that may or may not be applicable.
According to Reuters, if a platform offers services that also compete in the market "terms and conditions will have to include a description of any preferential treatment they give to their own service including access to consumer data and ranking."
According to Reuters, these rules are proposed by the European Commission and would be made public in April. In order for the rules to come into effect, they would need to be accepted by the European Parliament and other member states.

Skills Training and Vocational Education for Underprivileged Children and Youths in Rural Cameroon
Project Background and Rationale
For many underprivileged children in the rural communities of Cameroon, education is a luxury that they cannot afford. Poverty plays a key role in taking away this opportunity from them and many a times their location and lack of transport facilities also plays spoiler. More often, they drop out of schools and take up odd jobs as child labourers to support their family financially. This is where NGOs, the private sector and the government should step in to help! While we are aware that the government cannot meet up with the ever increasing number of employed graduates from higher institutions of learning, VCID is keen to tackle the socio-economic challenges of the almost abandoned segment of population. We do so by promoting vocational training and provision of seed capital. This intervention helps them receive a skill for employment in the future.
Project Goal
The project is aimed at contributing to poverty reduction through human resources development by creating over 2,500 direct jobs by 2023
Together we can inspire hope for the next generation
Project objective
To improve access to quality vocational technical education in formal training institutions in Cameroon. Specifically, VCID will be the end of 2023
- Train over 3,000 vulnerable children and rural youths in various profitable vocational trades;
- Increase enrolment in other TVET institutions by 10% through advocacy;
- Increase by 20% the number of qualified vocational teachers in the existing TVET institutions;
- Develop and disseminate standard and appropriate teaching/learning materials for the TVET sector;
- Increase by 20% the number of females accessing TVET programmes that are dominated by males.
Project components
This is a five year project and it consists of the following components:
- Improved access to skill training (this component will be aimed at enhancing training support, otherwise referred to as Enhanced Training Support Programme as well as Skills For Future Programme);
- Enhanced quality and efficiency of skills training and vocational education;
- Strengthening public-private partnerships in the frame of vocational education (this will be achieved through Workfare Training Support and Skills Future Credit Scheme)
- Project management

Commenting on the report 'Cutting Red Tape in Europe - Legacy and Outlook' published today by the European Commission's High Level Group on Administrative Burdens, chaired by Dr Edmund Stoiber, John Longworth, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce said:
"The sentiment of this report is in the right place; it tells us that the EU has listened to businesses' concerns about the impact of burdensome regulations on competitiveness and economic growth. However, it remains to be seen just how far and how fast the EU will go in implementing these proposals.
"While this is often down to Whitehall over-interpreting EU law, there is no doubt that something had to be done at the Commission level to address business concerns. Impact assessments and better engagement with businesses will help to prevent unnecessary regulations in the first place, and make it simpler for businesses to implement those regulations that are important. This is all contingent, of course, on proper business and economic cost impact assessments being carried out.
It is also incumbent on governments to pay more attention to the actions of their MEP's; too often burdensome legislation from Europe has been proposed or supported by UK MEP's of all parties.
"However, reform shouldn't stop with SMEs - we want to see improvements for businesses of all sizes. This is essential if we are to see a vibrant and growing economy in Europe. The next step is for the EU to deliver on the single market for both goods and services, so that it works better for business. This should be a major objective of any future negotiation on reform of the EU."

Less is more when it comes to hardware.
Generally speaking, the cost of maintaining a higher number of individual hardware chassis exceeds the cost of maintaining a lower number of individual hardware chassis. Among other things, there is the cost of allocating space within the data center to a particular hardware chassis, as well as power consumption and cooling requirements. There are also costs involved in maintaining the hardware chassis and its components.
Organizations are always looking for new ways to reduce their overall expenditure on hardware by using existing systems as efficiently as possible. This means making the most of every megabyte of RAM and every spare processor cycle, rather than having that hardware sit idle. For example, a server that on average uses 60% of its available RAM and processor capacity isn't being used as efficiently as a server that on average uses 80% of its available RAM and processor capacity.
Organizations are also integrating technologies such as containers and the new Nano Server installation option in Windows Server 2016 that are designed to increase the workload density that can be deployed on a server. Each of these options for hosting applications requires relatively low memory capacity, meaning more applications can be hosted in a smaller footprint.
The converged architecture model also can help organizations reduce the number of hardware chassis they have deployed. Converged architecture is configured to meet the performance needs of a specific workload, such as SQL Server, Exchange Server or SharePoint Server. Hardware is thus used in a more efficient manner than it would be if it were running an "off the shelf" server configuration—and an underutilization of processor, RAM, storage and network capacity.

Have you ever been at a party and hesitated when someone asked, "So what do you do?"
You can't just say "I'm the boss, applesauce." [Well, actually, this is what Edgar says but it might confuse people if you say it!]
Do you say, "I work for myself" or do you say "I'm a freelance XYZ" or do you launch into a 2-minute pitch about your growing startup?
Your answer to this question might be more than your go-to party line. It might indicate the choices you need to make in your business and how you can grow it.
While lots of people are their own boss and enjoy self-employment life, there are actually a few subsets of working for yourself and those subsets are more than just job titles. Depending on whether you call yourself a solopreneur, entrepreneur or freelancer, you might need to take different actions to keep your business growing.
Whether you are a solopreneur, freelancer or entrepreneur, you need the right tools to run your business. Download our list of the best tools for solo businesses.
Contrary to the phrase, there is nothing "free" about freelancers! (Edgar's joke, he moonlights as a stand up for entrepreneurial clubs.)
According to Merriam-Webster, a freelancer means "a person who acts independently without being affiliated with or authorized by an organization" or "a person who pursues a profession without a long-term commitment to any one employer."
Freelancing is becoming a much more popular self-employment option as many companies rely on flexible workforces. As of 2018, 56.7 million Americans were doing freelance work, which is an increase of 3.7 million since 2014. There's no surprise here since there are plenty of perks of freelance life, like working from home, making your own hours and setting your income level.
Freelancers typically exchange time for money using marketable skills to complete projects for different companies. They work more toward supporting other companies than creating their own products or additional revenue streams outside of their freelance services.
Of course, freelancers are self-employed and can enjoy all the fun perks of working for yourself, like choosing your own hours, setting your own prices and, of course, working in your pajamas (or pantsless as Edgar prefers!). And they are loving it! 51% of freelancers say no amount of money would get them to take a traditional job. #LoveWhatYouDo
Freelancers typically focus on strengthening their specific skills so they are able to charge more and take on more complex projects. In fact, 45% of full-time freelancers who left a traditional job say they participate in more training and education than when they were full-time employees.
Edgar is a freelance graphic designer. He earns his income by working with 5-7 different clients creating graphics for their organizations every month. Edgar gets paid for the number of hours he works or deliverables he completes.
Solopreneur is a newer term that has spiked in popularity as entrepreneurship has become trendier over the last few years.
Like freelancers, solopreneurs work alone but instead of working for other companies and trading time for money, they are building a business they can run completely on their own.
Solopreneurs can build businesses based on their passions or skillsets like freelancers do but the difference is they are ultimately building a business that can earn money without the solopreneur actively working and without hiring other team members.
Solopreneurs prioritize business growth by building systems, automating tasks and finding new revenue streams that will continue to grow their income level.
Edgar is a design consultant. He consults with companies and entrepreneurs on how to create their brand design. He sells branding courses and teaches others how to apply branding in their businesses. Edgar earns money by spending his time consulting and teaching (which he charges at a premium because he spent years refining his craft) but also by selling his expertise through courses (which he can do when he sleeps!).
Finally, we have entrepreneurs. This is the group that your mind usually conjures up when it imagines self-employment. Not all entrepreneurs wear hoodies and live in Silicon Valley but they do have a few things in common.
Entrepreneurs have a big vision of growing a big business, including building a team to support that business and possibly securing funding or looking for a buyout by a larger company.
Whereas freelancers and solopreneurs want to improve their specific skills, entrepreneurs want to improve their businesses. They are quicker to delegate and hire team members to do the actual work inside of the business while they themselves work on the business.
Unlike freelancing and solopreneurship, many entrepreneurs seek funding during growth, which means they don't have to quickly become profitable. They are more than likely playing a long game to profitability while solopreneurs and freelancers have to become profitable or else, they're out of business!
(We should note here that not all entrepreneurs seek funding. Many bootstrap their businesses – as MeetEdgar did!)
Edgar is running a graphic design agency. His tentacles rarely get wrapped up in design. Instead, he focuses his time on managing his team, finding new clients, creating partnerships and creating new revenue streams.
Before we go any further, we have to add that there is no subset of self-employment that is better than the other! The differences are only based on specific goals and which type of business feels good to you and fits your lifestyle. No matter which path you choose, it's important to recognize that you are a business owner and that you are operating as a business. No matter what your answer to "So what do you do?" if you are self-employed, you're a business owner!
There are two things that will help you grow your freelance business: attracting new clients and improving your skills (so you can charge more or take on bigger clients).
Since attracting clients is what brings in the revenue (which allows you more time to improve your skills), you should structure your days so that reaching new potential clients is your number one task.
And there are a few hundreds of ways that you can do that!
Even if you have current clients, you never want your pipeline to dry up! Prospecting and lead generation should always be a top priority. Then, you should dedicate time to improving your craft. Whether that's taking courses, working on personal projects or reading articles.
You can prioritize these two things by automating other parts of your freelance business, such as:
If you're able to automate (or delegate these things), then you'll be able to dedicate your most precious resource, time, to the things that will grow your business.
Many solopreneurs earn their income through their expertise so their priorities should be to show off their expertise and grow an audience and look for other revenue opportunities.
You know what that means… it's time to talk about content marketing, baby!
Content marketing is the best way to show off your unique style and expertise, whether it's a podcast, a YouTube channel, a blog or an email newsletter. And you can use those efforts to grow your audience of prospective clients, by using lead magnets to grow your email newsletter list or obtain relevant contact information.
Social media is an obvious choice for growing their audience but solopreneurs might want to take it a step further by pitching themselves for guest posts, speaking opportunities or interviews to reach larger audiences.
Much like freelancers, solopreneurs have to find a way to scale the tasks that don't directly relate to growing an audience, attracting new prospects or creating new revenue opportunities, such as:
Creating processes and systems that will streamline and automate these tasks will contribute to more growth for solopreneurs.
Check out our list of 20+ Tools for Solo Businesses to learn tools that will automate these tasks for you!
Unlike solopreneurs and freelancers, entrepreneurs rarely work alone. The key to growth for entrepreneurs is three things: securing funding, developing and communicating your mission and growing a team.
As you grow your business, your mission needs to remain clear and you need to find people to fund your business and work for your business who believe in that same mission. As the entrepreneur and founder, it will fall on you to create the vision and relay that vision to your team so that everyone is working efficiently and effectively.
One process that entrepreneurs can create is onboarding and hiring so that every new hire is on board and clear with the vision and mission of your organization. (You can learn a little bit about how we do this at MeetEdgar here).
You know what makes you really lucky? If you've made it to the end of this article then you know that being your own boss is your path. And guess what that means? This is a choose your own adventure mission! You get to decide which type of self-employment works best for you. Consider your goals, your lifestyle, your ideal working situation and make the decision based on your life.
This also isn't a lifetime decision. (What a relief, right?!) Your business might evolve. If you're a solopreneur today, you could change your business model and become a freelancer. If you're a freelancer, you can create new revenue streams, hire a team and become an entrepreneur. And if you're an entrepreneur, you can decide you'd rather work solo and become a solopreneur. The choice is yours.
So whether you call yourself a freelancer, solopreneur or entrepreneur, the team here at MeetEdgar is cheering you on.
Don't forget it, you don't need to go it completely alone! There are tools, communities, and resources out there. Download our list of 20+ tools for solo business owners.

The SJ86T features a 36"x96" platform and an unrestricted platform capacity of 500 lbs. Restricted capacity is set at 750 lbs.
Skyjack introduced the largest telescopic booms in its product line this week at The Rental Show.
The SJ86T features an 86 ft. platform height with a jib that rotates +65 degrees/-60 degrees and has a horizontal outreach of 76'10". The jibless unit, the SJ82T, has an 82-ft. platform height and 72'6" outreach.
Skyjack is helping The Arboretum, University of Guelph to preserve rare trees. Skyjack recently loaned a SJ63 AJ articulating boom lift to assist The Arboretum to collect difficult-to-access seeds from the Rare Woody Plants of Ontario seed orchards, including seeds from Cucumber Trees, Big Shellbark Hickory, Chinquapin Oak, Kentucky Coffee Tree, Tulip Tree, and the Sycamore.
Chicago Cubs fans got a blast from the past this summer when the marquee at the Illinois baseball team's home stadium was painted green and gold to celebrate its 100th anniversary. Benjamin Moore used three Skyjack machines to repaint the iconic marquee back its original green-and-gold colors when the sign was first installed in 1934.
Painters used two SJ 6832RT scissor lifts and a SJ 66T boom lift to reach the giant marquee as they painted it Mallard Green and French Quarter Gold.
Combining a working height of 69'7" (21.2 m), a horizontal reach of 40' (12.2 m), and an up and over clearance of 27'6" (8.4 m), Skyjack's SJ63 AJ articulating boom lift is designed for versatility. Superior positive traction and terrainability is provided by the axle-based 4WD used in many of Skyjack's powered access product designs, which accounts for a proven low maintenance, rugged, and reliable drive train. 360 degree turret rotation and zero tail swing allow for flexible operation of this boom lift in tight locations.

Bill Johnson is one of those people writers should want to know. His understanding of stories and characters is deep and true and useful. He especially helps writers explore their characters' psyches, wounds and motivations. Here's an excerpt from the insightful Mr. Johnson:
Writing a novel with a dual timeline requires a strong understanding of story structure. The most common failure I see is that the character in the present simply relates information in a dramatically flat, uninteresting manner. Or, the intensity of events in the past are undercut by the certainty that the narrator will survive.
Water for Elephants, by Sara Gruen, offers a good example of how a well-written novel develops multiple timelines. First, the opening prologue of the novel starts with what in screen writing would be called an inciting incident: here, that all the animals in the circus have gotten loose in the big top. On a character note, a fry cook mentions to the narrator, "Besides," he said, locking eyes with me, "it seems to me you've got a lot to lose right now." He raised his eyebrows for emphasis. My heart skipped a beat.

Whilst I have been designing and printing my own designs for a while - this is the first time I have had a design produced commercially and it's been an exhilarating rollercoaster of a ride.
It all began months ago when Virginia wanted something lacey - I went away, rummaged in my lace collection and started work on a woodblock design based on a piece of antique french lace. Amelia in the Ivo design studio then helped me transfer my print onto a large screen, advised by factory manager and general print genius Podge and produced by screen maker extraordinaire Chris.
When it came to sampling the new design - basically exploring the best colours, scale and materials to print on - I worked with Monique and Jo on the hand-table, and then Chris and Ian took over to print show lengths on their galli machines. Virginia's bold use of colour was sometimes a bit of a challenge for me, as she often told me she didn't want anything crafty looking, but this was great as it shifted me out of my comfort zone.
Sampling my own design!
The whole process, taking many months - has been a real team effort and opened my eyes to the reality of designing and making - which always involves drawing heavily on the expertise and knowledge of others rather than sitting designing on your own in a little bubble.
The experience has also brought together my two different worlds - working as a handprinter at the wonderful Ivos screen printing factory and producing my own designs. It's helped me to understand the pressures of commercial production but most of all it's made me realise how lucky I am to be part of such a great team! Thank you everyone at Ivo's and Virginia for your support.
Time for lunch...

2018 Blazing Five (Week 9)
4-1 last week in the B5, my best week of the season…finally…after a bunch of 3-2/2-3 weeks we're starting to breakthrough a bit. I'm nervous about this week's games. I'm not in love with any. I will only place small 'fun' money on any of them.
The one I'm most intrigued by is LAC at SEA – The Computer is getting hot for Seattle and has not been hot for LAC all season. If the Computer hits a TB and SEA covers/wins (odd-ball picks to me, but I'm trusting The Computer), I'll be very pleased with it.
You're better off considering Katz and Savage's B5s when making your own bets – both have been 60%+ pretty much all year.
Even better…the 70.6% winning percentage achieved when 3 or more of our five-person group agree on a B5 pick. 2-0 last week with ARI and IND.
This week, so far: DEN and PIT have 3-person consensus.
Blazing Five Through Week 8:
23-15-2 = Katz
23-14-3 = Savage
23-16-1 = Colin Cowherd
22-17-1 = Skolman
18-20-2 = Rabbitt
*12-5-0 ATS when 3 or more in group agree on a B5…
KC (-8.5) at CLE
The Computer Says: KC by 18.1 (9.6 point spread differential)
I don't love betting against a coaching change like this but the move to Gregg Williams cannot be good…not enough to overcome this juggernaut.
ATL at WAS (-1.5)
The Computer Says: WAS by 11.0 (9.5 point spread differential)
The Computer has loved this game from the jump. Atlanta outdoors with their terrible defense, non-quality wins, and Washington getting Quinton Dunbar back – I ride with surging Washington.
TB at CAR (-6.5)
The Computer Says: CAR by 0.2 (6.3 point spread differential)
The Computer has respect for Tampa Bay, and I'm not sure why. It thinks it sees something here even before the Winston benching but especially with Ryan Fitzpatrick…it takes the points.
HOU at DEN (-1.0)
The Computer Says: DEN by 7.3 (6.3 point spread differential)
The Computer kept liking this all week. Bad Houston O-Line vs. high-pressure Denver D-front...at Denver. This game is made for Denver to win. The Texans have been living with the angels for weeks, they're due to get clipped.
LAC at SEA (P)
The Computer Says: SEA by 7.1 (7.1 point spread differential)
I think I'm the only who likes/loves Seattle here, which is strange because of been anti-Seattle for years. I think they're a better version of Green Bay – Russell Wilson is like having Rodgers-Brady, he can 'will' a team to victory but gets none of the credit because he's not as flashy a passer. Seattle wins and sets off the Wilson for MVP talk.
KC -8.5...I want to fade KC so bad...but not as bad as I want to fade Gregg Williams. I normally like the coaching change bump...the Browns are not normal.
PIT +3...I think it's going to be a popular pick but I like it. Pit brings a running game and some defense on the road...if you need Ty Montgomery you're sending me a "sell" signal.
BUF +10...it pains me to write this but my counter argument to anyone who says "Peterman" is "Trubisky". Painful because I'm so hopefully but game after game he struggles to complete a forward pass. Took a quick peek and the Bills have been fine/good the game after losing to the Pats at home so no let down.
LAC +1...Plenty on this in the individual game write ups..
NO +1...I bet the Saints to win the NFC and SB before last week because I think they are the sneaky best team. This is the best home field advantage this week by many miles.
ATL +1.5. Best Bet
I love the Falcons in this spot coming off a bye to face an offensively challenged Redskins team. They can't keep riding Adrian Peterson to wins, right?
This line really couldn't be high enough. We get one last Nate Peterman Experience. I actually think Matt Barkley, who has been with the team all of 5 days, gets into this game.
DEN pk
Deshaun Watson is not throwing five touchdowns this week. He may not throw any. This is such a bad spot for the Texans in Denver and without Will Fuller.
No complex analysis here. I don't think the Steelers get swept by the Ravens.
Two words: Brock Osweiler
Saints +1 - I don't understand the lack of respect for the Saints here. Since their sluggish start in weeks 1 and 2, they've been the best team in football. They're 4-0 on the road and only one of those games (the Giants) was against a bad team. Depending on which measurement you use, they've played the toughest schedule in the league so far. Now they get to come home, where they were last seen annihilating the Redskins. The Rams are very good, but they've struggled the last few weeks and have been lucky to stay undefeated. I think the Saints might be the better team, they're more battle tested, and they're at home.
Steelers +3 - I still don't understand how the Ravens beat Pittsburgh so easily a few weeks ago. Regardless, I don't think it happens again. Pittsburgh has been peaking on both sides of the ball at the same time the Ravens have more or less fallen apart. You're getting a deal with the Steelers at +3.
Broncos -1 - Denver has played pretty solid the last 3 weeks - close losses to the Rams and Chiefs and the domination of the Cardinals in Arizona. They're generally a solid home team, and they absolutely need this game to stay in the playoff race. Houston is an OK team, but they might be on the most fraudulent 5 game winning streak in the history of football.
Titans +5.5 - Dallas and Tennessee have played 14 combined games, only 4 have been decided by more than 7 points and only 6 have been decided by more than 3. I think Dallas is the better team and is likely to win this game, but I think this will be decided by less than a TD.
Falcons +1.5 - Washington is overrated and is well overdue to drop a game. Atlanta off the bye, needing a win to stay in the playoff race... I feel like I've already seen the Falcons win this 31-17.
