In fairness, he probably has more name recognition than Lincoln Chafee:
Republican Gov. George Pataki served as New York State's chief executive for 12 turbulent years -- both before and after 9/11. Hence, what he lacks in charisma and name I.D. he almost certainly makes up for in crisis management and executive experience. And so the question is worth asking: Can candidates like Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio, all of whom have officially put their names forward in 2016, even hold a candle to the public-service records of long-serving governors like George Pataki, and others like him?
"They haven't run a government," the ex-governor asserted plainly in the clip above. "They haven't shown their ability to convert words to action."
That's true. And yet the most qualified contender running for president is not necessarily guaranteed to win the presidency; the most inspiring and likable candidate usually is. So, does Gov. Pataki strikes you as the most inspiring and likeable candidate preparing to enter the race? Ahem:
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. RT @GovernorPataki George Pataki: I'm leaning towards a presidential run | Fox News Video http://t.co/R2cKwmWMw6— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 14, 2015
I suspect that's how most GOP primary-goers feel about Pataki right about now. The polls don't lie. Naturally, however, that's not stopping him from traveling to New Hampshire later this week. Surprise!

New school logo commemorates Pau-Wa-Lu's silver anniversary
This year, 2019, marks 25 years since Pau-Wa-Lu Middle School (PWL) in the Gardnerville Ranchos opened its doors to students. In honor of PWL's silver anniversary, the student body was recently invited to submit ideas for a new school logo.
The school is named for the Pau-Wa-Lu branch of the Washoe Tribe, who have called the Carson Valley home for thousands of years. PWL Vice Principal Adam Dedmon said students were encouraged to draw inspiration from the school's original logo design, which was round and featured local landscape and Native American handcrafted elements.
"We wanted (the updated logo of the school) to reflect our students; something that shows our students are valued and involved," he said.
Dedmon and sixth grade teacher Sarah Sparhawk reviewed the hand drawn student submissions last month.
Sparhawk, who holds a bachelor's degree in art education, said the submissions received were a "great combination of the logo we had before but with a new, fresh look." She said commissioning the artwork from students was intended to provide them with a sense of ownership and buy-in. "We want students to feel that PWL is their space as much as it is for the adults they are with at school."
Student submissions were narrowed down to two finalists; sixth grader Nevaeh Montoya created the winning design, and seventh grader Justin Ericsson's artwork earned second place.
Montoya's enthusiasm for art got her thinking about a design as soon as she heard about the competition. Taking cues from contest guidelines and suggestions, she paid close attention to the original logo.
"Pau-Wa-Lu means 'people of the valley,'" she said. "The outside border (of the previous logo) is a Native American basket design, and I got inspiration from that."
Montoya incorporated the school's panther mascot in the center of her logo and included representations of different classes including math, science, social studies, English, and physical education along the outside border. Mountains are featured in the middle of her design because "there are mountains everywhere (around the school) and it's always snowing."
Montoya became immersed in the creative process. "I kept thinking about it and it occupied my thoughts so much," she said. She originally conceived of a rectangular design, but decided to revise it to a circle once she "realized it would be too big to put on something like a T-shirt."
She also had to overcome a sense of self-doubt as she formulated her logo idea. While her teachers told Montoya she was talented in art, she didn't always receive the same supportive input from others. She refused to let that dissuade her, kept at it, and the logo "eventually turned into how I pictured it in my mind."
On the final day for submissions, Montoya handed in her design then said she "kind of forgot about it." Last Tuesday, Dedmon called her out of class.
"I was scared!" she said with a smile. She wondered, "'Why am I getting pulled out of my social studies class?' He told me I had won the logo contest and I was super happy! I went home and told my mom, and she was super happy."
When asked what she might say to someone considering putting their work out there, Montoya doesn't hesitate.
"Just go for it!" she said. "Don't think about what others might say or not say about whatever you are doing; what really matters is your opinion. Nobody can make you feel inferior unless you let them," she said. "I learned that from my mom."
Ericsson heard the contest announcement while working on a similar class project. He'd been searching for business card logos as part of an assignment in his science class, which stoked his interest in the school logo design contest.
Ericsson said that as he worked on his other project, "I was sitting in the classroom and kept thinking, 'What could I do?' I got home, grabbed some Sharpies, and started drawing ideas."
The ideas kept churning for a couple of days. Once he was clear on the image he wanted to create, Ericsson said the whole design took between 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete. He looked to The Jungle Book and Tarzan books for pictures of panthers, and drew a silhouette of a panther walking between a red tree and a black tree (PWL school colors are red and black). A full moon hovers in the background. Beneath the illustration reads, "Pau-Wa-Lu," and below that, "Learning for 25 Years."
Ericsson's experience when he learned he'd created a winning design echoed Montoya's.
"Mr. Dedmon pulled me out (of class), and I thought I was in trouble! He reminded me about the logo contest and told me I'd won second place, and I was super excited about that!"
Ericsson enjoys drawing and took an art class last year at PWL. He said, "I like creating pieces and trying to detail everything." He hopes to continue with art classes in high school and has an interest in graphic design.
Montoya's logo design will be featured on the PWL website, school and sports apparel, yearbook, and other publications. Ericsson's design will be printed on the school's letterhead.
Congratulations to both of these young artists.

Billionaire investor Daniel Loeb is taking back the reins as sole chief investment officer at his hedge fund Third Point, less than one year after he appointed long-time colleague Munib Islam to be his co-chief investment officer.
Ken Squire will be writing about activist investors weekly for CNBC.
Sony said it was rejecting a call by Daniel Loeb's activist hedge fund Third Point to spin-off its chips business.
Yelp has hired boutique investment bank Evercore to help engage with activist investor SQN, who says the company should explore a sale.
Shareholder advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services recommended that Campbell Soup investors elect all five of Third Point hedge fund's board nominees.
Third Point's Daniel Loeb is concerned with current market conditions and told investors in a letter that he has cut the firm's position in technology stocks.
Activist investor Third Point sued Campbell Soup, alleging the soup and snack maker's board misled investors about the competence of its directors and the way it carried out a recently completed strategic review.
PayPal reported third-quarter earnings and revenue that topped Wall Street estimates on Thursday.
Loeb wants Campbell to replace its board before choosing its next CEO. Campbell said separately it expects to choose its next CEO by the end of the calendar year.
Activist investor Daniel Loeb's hedge fund Third Point has demanded access to a trove of records from Campbell Soup.
Activist investor Daniel Loeb's hedge fund Third Point files its definitive proxy as it pushes Campbell Soup to consider a sale.
The maker of Nescafe and Perrier water is ditching underperforming businesses and seeking to fend off criticism from an activist investor demanding an overhaul.
Campbell Soup and hedge fund Third Point on Friday filed preliminary proxy materials urging the food company's shareholders to vote in favor of two entirely different slates of board nominees.
Campbell Soup's board is drawing up a list of CEO candidates, with Chief Operating Officer Luca Mignini emerging as the top internal contender, people familiar with the matter said.
Activist investor Daniel Loeb's hedge fund Third Point announced its intention on Friday to replace Campbell Soup's entire board.
The Journal reported that the hedge fund found the company's plan to sell some units underwhelming and believes a fresh slate of directors would put all options for Campbell back on the table.
William Ackman has swung to big gains this year, and his private hedge fund is up roughly 15 percent for the year, an investor said.
Third Point is speaking to consumer industry executives as it seeks to fill a slate of nominees to challenge Campbell Soup's board of directors.
Food stocks are fighting for your dinner. As Campbell Soup trades at four-year lows, food delivery stock GrubHub just broke through to a record high.
Tom Farley says he isn't so sure his former rival, the Nasdaq, should be considered a benchmark for tech stocks.

When It Falls Through The Cracks
Last summer, we held an outdoor water baptism service. Afterwards, we celebrated with refreshments and ice cold watermelon. It was delicious! Some of the kids (and dads) were practicing spitting seeds into the rock filled median strips on the parking lot. It was a lot of fun and we really had a great day.
Little did we know that those little seeds would work their way through the rocks and the cracks until they planted themselves into the ground below. This summer, instead of a rock-filled strip of space, we found a patch of watermelons! The vines had covered the rocky ground and cute, bright green watermelons began to sprout. What seemed like a silly, pointless act of spitting seeds actually produced something very fruitful.
Someone noticed the watermelons and said, "I think there is a message in that!" And there is.
When we pray for friend, give encouragement to a co-worker, or act in kindness to a stranger, it is like planting a seed. What may seem small and insignificant to you, could have a major impact on the life of someone else. But like a seed, we sometimes do not see what is taking place below the surface. We can become discouraged thinking that nothing it actually going on…that we somehow failed. We can feel like giving up because we do not see any change on the surface from what we have done.
The scripture says, "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart" (Galatians 6:9). The apostle Paul is encouraging us to not lose hope while we are planting the seeds of goodness. We may not see the results instantly, but as the Spirit of God is working on the life of the person, we will see the outcome at the right moment.
I received a phone call late Saturday evening from a friend. He began to tell me about his nephew who had been addicted to heroine and had led a very troubled life. My friend then said to me, "You and the Holy Spirit saved his life!" As I didn't know his nephew, I didn't know how I could have helped him. He then told me the young man's name and suddenly I did remember him. He had walked into one of our services and experienced the love of God. He left and I never saw him again. But the impact of that encounter was like a seed. He couldn't shake the love of God that he felt. The young man checked himself into a rehabilitation center and is on his way to a full recovery.
You never know what will happen to the seeds that you plant! Rev. Robert Schuller once wrote, "Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed." God can take that kind word and loving act and use it to plant a seed into the hardest heart that could end up influencing the lives of numerous individuals. Do not be discouraged…keep doing good. Sometimes those good seeds will fall through the cracks and produce a beautiful harvest for God!
Remember…You Are A Champion!

While fishing reports gleaned from professionals plying our local waters reflect current conditions and catches, those random notes that pop into my text inbox, Twitter feed or Facebook page sometimes prove more interesting to the masses. Such is the case of this Deschutes report from my good friend, Shane Blitch. Shane is a potter by trade, a maker of useful and beautiful clay creations. Our Saturday morning cookie bowl is one of his art pieces and a treasured possession. He's also a cigar box guitar maker and player of note. Those qualifications alone lend credence to the following report…
"I didn't see much in the way of hatches. I got about 16 to hand with another few ldr's ( Long-distance releases) in about 4hrs. All were on top with a little midge dropper. So I would say the fishing was pretty good. I'm heading back over tomorrow. The weather shut me down on Monday. Up came an epic wind storm and that was that."
With a cigar box guitar picker, a box of secret black string midges and a bowl of cookies it probably would be a lot of fun. I'm putting it on the calendar, Shane!Meanwhile, one of the hardest working guys in showbiz has been trading time between the spring Trout on the Deschutes and Steelhead on the Sandy. Brian Silvey stopped in yesterday and reported steady fishing on the slope of Mt. Hood in spite of the lack of snow on the volcano. Wild fish have been grabbing with gusto daily and testing backing knots all week. Summer fish are slow to show, but should be nosing in soon. We still have a month of good opportunity before other fisheries draw us away. Traffic on the river is light.
Low and clear. I'm not telling you anything new if you've attempted a fishing adventure this past week. Water levels are at summer flows and rivers are running clearer that fancy crystal. It doesn't matter where you head, there's very little water to greet you. The good new is, hidden in the shadows, trenches and broken water of our low flowing streams are a few nice Steelhead. They have come home. They just happened to come home to a glass house.With only a faint hope of improving conditions on the horizon we have to work with what we have and make the best of it. It's time to bust out the low water bag o'tricks and see what we can come up with.

Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt hold talks on Libya
The tripartite ministerial meeting on Libya kicked off on Monday in Algiers, and foreign ministers of Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt discussed the developments in the conflict-ridden Libya.
Algerian Foreign Minister Abdelkader Messahel, his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry and Tunisian counterpart Khemaies Jhinaoui are expected to discuss the holding of a referendum on a new constitution in Libya, and the parliamentary and presidential elections that the United Nations intended to hold before the end of this year.
They will also discuss ways to strengthen the efforts to accelerate the peace and reconciliation process between Libyan disputing parties, according to a statement of the Algerian Foreign Ministry.
Three consultative meetings were already held over the issue of Libya, respectively in Algeria in June 2017, in Egypt in November 2017 and in Tunisia in December 2017.
These meetings are part of the periodic consultation among the three countries to help neighboring Libya end its civil war lasting for more than seven years, as armed clashes continue in the east and the south of the country.
Since the fall of Gaddafi regime in 2011, terrorist groups have been gaining ground and taking profit of the lack of a unified army and security services.

Life is too short to spend in meetings, so anything that begins by getting issues on the table and ends with concrete actions on those issues is a good meeting indeed.
We give you the inside tips on how to run an effective meeting.
In New South Wales, Owners Corporation Strata Management Meetings are governed by legislation.
Each member of the strata committee, and every lot owner, need to be notified of an intended strata committee meeting at least 3 days before the meeting is due to be held. The notice of the meeting must include a detailed agenda for the meeting.
But the work begins before the meeting is called by setting an effective agenda.
A good agenda identifies all the subjects to be canvased at the meeting, so everyone knows what to expect.
And state an actionable resolution to be voted on.
A focused five-minute discussion is more productive than a half-hour chat. Adding a time limit to discuss each item on the agenda lets everyone know the approximate length of the whole meeting and helps reduce the waffle.
The most important issues should be given priority. Even if you end up deferring items to another meeting, at least the most pressing issues will have been addressed.
One great way to make sure that all the relevant information is there without writing War And Peace is to follow this simple structure:
SSKB is Australia's leading strata management company specialising delivering expert advice and management to Owners Corporation and Body Corporate communities.

Get Paid to Park Your Domains
There are two main ways you can make money with search engines. You can either join a PCC website and get a very small percentage of money per click or you can park your domains on a domain parking website. Both of these work about the same way. With a PCC site you will receive an affiliate search engine where you can send traffic, when people do searches on the site, or click keywords on the site you will receive a small amount of money per click. Once you reach a minimum amount of money you will get paid. Now this way is for the little guys. I wouldn't recommend this, if you're looking to actually make money to pay bills, or even eat!
So what is domain parking? Well, domain parking is pretty much the same idea as PPC except you receive a much larger percentage, and can actually make enough money to live on that money alone. Say you sign up with a domain site (I'll list a few in a second), you can then take your existing domain, and point it with DNS settings to the parking site.
Once you do this, you can start getting traffic to the domain name, and you can start making money every time someone either does a search, or clicks a keyword/result. The domain parking sites are pretty cool because they give you all sorts of options to work with such as categories for your domain, keywords, meta words, templates and more. This type of parking usually gets the feeds on the domains (the ads and such) from sites like Google, ask, or yahoo!
So when you send people to your search engine and they do searches, sites like Yahoo will pay the parking program, and you will receive a percentage as well. These percentages can be very low from 5% on up top 90% depending on what site you decide to go with. So, why doesn't everyone just pick the sites with a higher percentage?
Because there's a little thing we like to call CTR click through rate and CPM cost per thousand. These two attributes are what really decide on how much you make. The website can offer a 99% share, but the CTR and CPM could be really low which means you would make less money than you would, at a domain parking site with a medium share of 50% but a high CTR and a high CPM. It's all a science and there's no real way to figure out what site is the best, and how much money you can make.
The best thing you can do, it trial and error. See what site fits with you, which sites make you money, etc. If you have 10 domains, don't park them all at the same site. Pick 10 or so sites and see which ones do better at site a site b site c, etc.
So how do you find these "domain parking" programs. Easy! Simply look for Domain Parking Programs or Domain Parking Sites, or you could try these sites out. It used to be there were thousands of these sites but now only a few that are legit remain. I make no guarantee that you will make money at these sites, I'm simply here to tell you what domain parking is, tell you some of the stuff I know, and show you a few sites you can check out.
Parked (the best site ever)
NameDrive (good for adult names)
Again, that's just a few sites you can check out. If you're looking for more, I suggest going to NamePros or DNForum and look through the different threads they have and see what different people say about different parking sites. Good luck in your search, I hope you find what you're looking for, and remember to always read and follow the TOS guidelines. They are there for a reason!

Monday was a Bank Holiday so it was another four day week (was that really only last Monday?) but I managed to get lots done for the first few days back at work.
Thursday night was my first Crown Green Bowls match, I scored 6 points which I didn't think was too bad for my first time out, hopefully I will get better and it wasn't beginners luck. I can't really see me staying on the team after this season as it hasn't really grabbed me (I know I have only played 1 match, but sometimes you just know).
I was warned that I would really ache when I got up the next morning but I didn't. I assumed that the 25 minute walk from the bus had stretched it out of me but it caught up with me in the evening.
Friday I had my GP appointment and came away with prescriptions and options. It was a shock when I paid for my tablets, £15.70! It has been so long since I have had a prescription from a doctor that I had no idea how much the charges were.
I have now taken 2 tablets and feel a little bit jittery and on edge, as though I am waiting for something to happen, I also feel as though I need to keep moving about. I was warned about side effects but that they should only last for the first 2 weeks.
I feel really tired too but that could be as much to do with my disturbed night as it is my tablets, I was awake for about 3 hours during the night so I was able to catch up with Doctor Who, Law & Order SVU and Law & Order Criminal Intent.
Last week's Doctor Who felt like a rehash of a previous episode and last night's felt like the Jackanory version of a story, it also felt very familiar once again, (wasn't a HooLooVoo a character in HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy?). Hopefully next week's will be better as it was written by Mark Gatiss.
The squeamish amongst you may not want to read the rest of this paragraph. A few days ago I discovered a spot when I was in the shower, I didn't give it much attention as spots come and spots go. Today it was still there so I had a proper look at it, it was actually a massive boil. It is now dealt with but has left a big hole which I have treated with Tea Tree oil.
I have 3 days at work this week, and 3 days with my training provider and then next week just 3 days at work before I go to Great Yarmouth.
Have a good week everyone.

The University of Western Australia's Albany Campus is seeking volunteers to collect tiny plastic pellets, known as 'nurdles', which have washed up on the South Coast after a massive spill off the South African coast in October last year.
Rio Tinto and The University of Western Australia have joined forces to bring an innovative global leadership program for students to Western Australia designed to enhance their cultural intelligence, networks, collaboration and leadership skills.
UWA Albany researcher Dr Harriet Paterson has been conducting research into the impact of plastics on the coastal environment. Dr Paterson visited Walpole, Esperance, Hopetoun and Bremer Bay i recently to collect samples of beach sand to analyse the quantity of micro-plastics in the samples and determine where plastics become concentrated on beaches.
Seven postgraduate students from Bristol University in the United Kingdom are spending 10 weeks working with UWA Centre of Excellence in Natural Resource Management (CENRM) researchers to gain a deeper understanding of the ecology unique to the Great Southern.
The students are completing a Master of Science degree majoring in Global Wildlife Health and Conservation and have chosen to do research projects with the University of Western Australia as part of their studies.
New research by scientists at The University of Western Australia, has revealed that seaweed farms may have unexpected benefits for coral reef fish.

The Great Southern International Colloquia on Biodiversity aim to provide a forum for leading scientists, practitioners and the public to share and advance knowledge in biodiversity science, management and cultural appreciation.
The large wildfire that engulfed extensive areas of forest, damp plains and scattered granite outcrops in the Northcliffe area in February this year has yielded an unexpected gift – a species of plant completely new to science. The species is a Haemodorum or blood root, a group of bulbous herbs with about 30 species distributed across well-watered parts of Australia, one extending into southern Papua.
Researchers from the University of Western Australia's Centre of Excellence in Natural Resource Management (CENRM), Murdoch University and the Department of Fisheries have just completed one of the largest research projects on endangered freshwater fish in south-western Australia.
The three-year project provides exciting new information on the distribution and ecology of three of the region's most endangered freshwater fish – the Western Trout Minnow, Balston's Pygmy Perch and Little Pygmy Perch.
Agricultural clearing and drains installed by farmers to lower water tables and manage salinity are inadvertently impacting waterways in one of the largest and most botanically significant regions in Australia, according to new research from The University of Western Australia.
Find out how sleep disorders are related to the shape of your face, whether plant biology and advances in genomics could alleviate the growing global food crisis, and what our homes and communities will look like when living to over 100 is the norm.
A new project is underway that will monitor the movement and habitat use of south-western Australia's largest freshwater fish, the Freshwater Cobbler.
A new CENRM research project is investigating if the endemic honey possum plays a significant role in pollination of South West Plants.
The journal 'Ecology and Society' has published recent findings by researchers from The University of Western Australia's Centre of Excellence in Natural Resource Management that will help the agricultural industry develop sustainable land management strategies. Leading the research was Dr Neil Pettit who believes that the speed of environmental change is perhaps the greatest challenge for natural resource management.
CENRM and UWA Albany has launched a fortnightly segment on ABC Great Southern Radio. CENRM researcher Dr Peter Speldewinde and ABC presenter Donna Dabala will talk about a variety scientific research being undertaken in the Great Southern Region, and further afield from across Australia and internationally.

Welcome Guys!
About 1991 or 1992 a super typhoon passed directly over Cebu and destroyed thousands of houses. The Plan and CCF together engaged a New York architect to design replacement houses and in a short time they came up with a plan that used local materials, were plentiful in supply, were inexpensive to build and could be done quickly and easily by local labor. The design had to provide a structure that could weather a typhoon and even if damaged, would be cheap and quick to repair. Some of these structures would also have to be placed where there was no power available. The simple house plan that was devised consisted of a wood frame of coco lumber, walls and floors of bamboo and roof of nipa (all inexpensive, local and plentiful). If a typhoon blew away the roofs and walls, they could be quickly replaced.The irony of the design is that it was almost identical to the native houses that have been built here for centuries. Until a design that can better the native house is found, dome housing will never \"catch on\" here.
These domes were designed for this type of weather, not for colder climates. For colder climates we need to add insulation in the form of a 2 part urethane expanding insulation sprayed on to the concrete.
I have always wondered if there is a market here for bounce houses. Especially for the mandatory first birthday parties, always trying to find something to do with the kids as the adults turn it into a reason for a drinking session and karaoke night. I have been to several myself, but they go and make me guest of honor which embarrasses me no end. I thought it was the kids birthday, I am just a friend of the family and all of a sudden, everyone is focused on me. Darn this white skin, I need to tan faster, but I hardly ever leave the store.Wayne

Carpet cleaning can enhance the aesthetic appearance of your house as well as extend the lifespan of your carpet. However, the most essential advantage brought about by the carpet cleaning is improving everyone's well-being. If your family members suffer from health conditions which can influence their respiration, for instance asthma or snoring, it is basically necessary for you to vacuum your carpeting at least 3 times every week.
Aside from vacuuming your carpet on a regular basis, you may also benefit from having them professionally cleaned at least once a year. In case you are not totally convinced of the benefits of professional carpet cleaning like the ones offered by carpet cleaning Rochester NY, you should consider these following best 3 various ways the procedure leads to a healthier environment:
1. Carpet Cleaning Gets Rid of Trapped Pollutants
A dirty rug can collect a lot of sources of indoor toxins such as pet dander, particle pollution, cockroach allergens and everyday residue and dirt. Airborne toxins can actually adhere to these particles and then, get trapped into the carpeting. These airborne toxins can also be discharged through a regular activity such as strolling over and vacuuming the rug that can cause air pollution in your house.
In addition to that, professional carpet cleaning services utilize special shampooing formulas which are intended to get rid of bacteria and fungi. Likewise, the formulas are biodegradable so your carpets are not damaged and no residues of toxins are left behind.
2 Carpet Cleaning Can Eliminate Dust Mite Scourge
Most owners of residential or commercial property do not actually concern about the residue mite infestations since they're minuscule beings which cannot be noticed with the naked eye. Despite of the fact that they're not allergens themselves, waste and dead skin from residue parasites may also cause respiratory problems and sensitivities, for instance, asthma. Since the microscopic size of the particles can undoubtedly be breathed, when the place is disturbed, that can also worsen sensitivities.
A lot of professional and experienced carpet cleaning service companies use steam cleaning when doing carpet care and maintenance project, which opens your carpeting to high temperatures which dust mites cannot withstand.
3. Carpet Cleaning May Help Prevent Formation of Mold
If you live in a place where humidity level is high, or on the off chance which your carpet is exposed to moisture, then there is a great possibility that your carpet can promote better mold formation. Particularly in places with high levels of humidity, grimy or dirty carpets are at great risk of forming mold when exposed to moisture. Once mold acquires a foothold in your carpets, it can be very hard to remove.
The most notorious kind of mold to plague a carpet is the black mold. As a matter of fact, it emits hazardous spores which, if ingested or inhaled, can cause health problems such as rashes, severe headaches, chronic fatigue, and difficulty of breathing. Having your carpet professionally cleaned on a regular basis can keep away from mildew and mold formation since these professionals have the right drying tools which destroy moisture.

Following its acquisition as part of the Prudential takeover, Scottish Amicable International (SALI) is gearing up for a renewed assault on the European market next year, according to SALI chief executive Clive Cowdery.
"The Pru is backing our expansion plans in Germany and has given us an assurance that once other strategic matters are resolved, the international business will be expanded," says Cowdery.
As a first step, SALI aims to double its sales force in Germany to 30 by the end of 1998. It is also introducing pension plans into the German market, with a few new twists that will be familiar to those in the UK.
The pension launch is designed to take advantage of the existing pension provisions in Germany. Cowdery says, "we will also be well positioned for when the legislation does change in Germany.
"The market considers the new pensions will introduce a more favourable tax environment." However, the tax changes are not expected now until after the German elections in October 1998.
A new feature of SALI's German pension is, remarkably, not available there currently. Cowdery proudly proclaims: "We have invented the open-market option."
The open-market option has been a feature of UK financial services for many years, allowing a pension client at retirement age to choose an annuity in the free market.
In Germany, if you have a pension with Allianz, you have to buy your annuity from Allianz.
Cowdery says, "We have cleared the contract so that it complies with German law and with SALI, at retirement, a German has the choice of any provider, German or otherwise, for the annuity."
He calls it, " an interesting blend of the best of our traditional flair for product design, with German fiscal and technical restraint."
Last year, Scottish Amicable stole a march on its German competitors, including Allianz and Nurnberger, by winning a prestigious award for product excellence given by a German magazine.
Cowdery says, "The reason we have been able to compete with these much larger companies is because we are dealing through the broker market primarily, where the acceptance of unit-linking is that much greater."

With St. Patrick's Day coming up, Rourke and I decided on an Irish movie to go with one of our favorite drinks, Irish coffees. The Quiet Man is an old classic love story that will charm anyone.
We strayed from the book on this one, but enjoyed ourselves just the same.
One of our favorite places to imbibe in San Francisco is at The Buena Vista overlooking the Golden Gate. Their specialty is Irish coffee. We always try to visit The Buena Visit with an Irish coffee when there.
We learned a trick from the bartenders there on keeping your coffee hot!
Start with your vessel. Add boiling water to the glasses and let sit and heat glass up for a few minutes.Empty and add 1 1/2 ounces Irish whiskey and 1 ounce Bailey's Irish cream. Top with hot coffee and a large dollop of sweetened whipped cream. Sprinkle with cinnamon to make it extra pretty.Yum scrum!
Now for the movie..
It features John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. When the movie was made, John Wayne was 44 and Maureen was 31. John brought his wife and four children over to Ireland for the six-week shoot. Maureen brought her new baby and a nurse over with her.
The basis of the movie is John, an American, has come back to his ancestoral home in Ireland to live out his life. When he meets Maureen, he is immediately attracted. Her older brother makes it very hard for their relationship to happen.
Fun facts:
The Catholic priest and the Protestant vicar played in the movie are real-life brothers.
If you happen to travel to the cottage in Ireland where John's character, Sean, lived, you would find hardly anything there. Tourists keep taking bits and pieces from it as a memoir from the movie.
In the very last scene of the movie, Maureen whispers something in the Duke's ear. What was said was known only to O'Hara, John and director John Ford. In her memoirs, Maureen says she refused to say the line at first, but Mr. Ford insisted, saying he needed a genuine shock reaction from John Wayne. The line remains a mystery to this day.
Maureen O'Hara did her own singing.
It is one of the few Hollywood movies in which the Irish language is spoken.
Cohan's Pub was actually a grocery store in Cong. It later became a souvenir shop, and was just recently turned into a real Irish pub.
This was Republic Studios first film shot outside the United States.
John Wayne directed the horse racing sequence while John Ford was ill.
As Maureen O'Hara was 31 and Victor McLaglen was nearly 65, many thought he should have played her father instead of her older brother.
John Wayne said that the role of Sean Thornton, now considered one of his best, was difficult for him. "For nine weeks, I was just playing a straight man to those wonderful characters, and that's really hard."
Maureen O'Hara had no double for the scene where John Wayne drags her across the fields back to the village and got bruised on the tough terrain.
It is alleged that Maureen O'Hara died in 2015 while listening to Victor Young's score to the film.
Tourists that visit Cong, Ireland, where the movie was filmed, were dubbed "Quiet Man Crazies."

DePaul takes home 85-69 victory against Xavier
Standout performances from Brooke Schulte and Jacqui Grant steered No. 21 DePaul (15-4) to an 85-69 victory against Xavier (10-8) on Sunday afternoon to give the Demon's their eighth consecutive conference win.
"I was really proud of our team's readiness to play," head coach Doug Bruno said after the game. "That's so important because every one of these Big East teams has the talent to beat everyone else."
Senior guard Brooke Schulte put on a show in the first half, dropping 20 points to go along with a dominant nine rebounds and three steals.
"I can't thank my teammates enough for getting me the ball when I'm open," Schulte said postgame.
Schulte would tac on eight more points and two more rebounds by the final buzzer, locking down her first double-double since DePaul's December 28th meeting with Georgetown.
DePaul's Jacqui Grant posted her seventh double-double of the season, finishing with 17 points and 13 rebounds.
"We all really take pride in that anyone can really step-up," Grant said.
Xavier's efforts were led by sophomore guard Raeshaun Gaffney and senior forward Maddison Blackwell scoring 22 and 14 points respectively. Gaffney, the team's leading scorer on the season, was held to 38 percent shooting on 18 attempts.
Rebounding was a point of concern for Xavier from the start, especially on the offensive end of the floor. Through four quarters, the Musketeers only managed to rein in six offensive rebounds and ceded 19 offensive rebounds to DePaul.
Xavier's struggles on the glass may be attributed to their leading rebounder, Leah Schaefer, leaving the game with a lower-leg injury shortly after tip-off. She would return later in the game, but finished with only two points and one rebound.
DePaul's only struggles came from three-point-range, where they only managed to convert on six of 29 attempts. However, their inefficiency shooting as a team was overcome by a sheer volume of shot attempts, managing to fire off 19 more shots than Xavier.
With just over four minutes left to play, Bruno pulled his starters and sent his bench out to close the game with a comfortable 27-point lead. Xavier proceeded to score 11 unanswered points, cutting DePaul's lead to 16. There was no dramatic finish, but Xavier's final push concerned Doug Bruno enough to re-enter his starting line-up.
"I have a deep affection for human beings that make effort," Bruno said, "I have just as much distain for individuals or groups of individuals that don't play hard… there is only so long that I can watch it."
"At DePaul, there is no such thing as garbage time." Bruno said, "I don't care what the score is, if you're earning a scholarship… you play to win that possession."
35 seconds after the starters returned to the floor, DePaul scored on a jump shot from Amarah Coleman.
"We have some possessions that are really, really good, we have some possessions that are absolutely not and we are still getting that cleaned up," Bruno said, "In the big picture, I'm just proud of our readiness to play."
With Sunday's win, DePaul remains undefeated in conference play (8-0) and strengthened their hold on the Big East.

At the end of November our partner on the Norwegian market, Carrier Refrigeration Norway, installed a beautiful Glacier fish counter at Coop Mega Fredrikstad.
The unit is placed on pedestals and contains a great looking "floating" angle on the left-hand side (customer view). The feedback received was very positive. Carrier complimented Smeva on the fact that the counter was well prepared from factory and very easy to install whereas the end customer is very pleased with the looks.
Amongst others, Carrier provides serve-over units for the larger supermarket chains in Norway such as Coop and Spar.

Has authenticity become a buzz word?
Everywhere I look, everyone seems to be using it.
Everyone seems to be saying people need to become authentic.
Such a huge generalization, I know!
But here's what I reckon.
We already are authentic!
Authentic means 'of undisputed origin and not a copy; genuine'
We were born authentic and we will die authentic.
Or, in Aussie terms, that translates to dinky di, fairdinkum. or true blue.
So how can we NOT be authentic?
It's paradoxical. On one hand is authenticity and on the other hand is inauthenticity.
But here's the thing – I don't think the conversation is about being authentic or having authenticity.
I reckon it is recognising inauthenticity and becoming less inauthentic.
A double negative? Maybe!
I mean, inauthenticity is one of the 30,000 most commonly used words in the Collins dictionary and as a word, over the past 300 years, its popularity peaked in 2005 – the year Tony Blair was re-elected, Charles married Camilla and Lance Armstrong won a record seventh straight Tours de France!!
I do think it's recognising what each of our personal strategies are around being inauthentic. Knowing when you are, why you are and how you are.
It's cool when you bring some maths into it. I share in my 'Growth Grid' model where we are always trying to 'add' stuff to our lives – do more, have more, be more.
To keep up with the Jones's, to prove our worthiness, to hide our lack of experience… millions of reasons. And we've all done it and we will continue to do it.
Simply, because we are human.
But what if 'doing more to look good to those around us, having more to prove something to those around us and pretending to be more so as not be seen as less than to those around us' is actually stacking stuff on top and smothering all that goodness of who we are at our core.
Authentic human beings who are perfectly imperfect.
Just like these Cadillacs at Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo that I walked around recently! They don't look like vehicles that are touted as the 'most expensive and top of the luxury field'. They are inches thick in paint and crap and stuff, but underneath?? They are genuine, authentic Cadillacs!
So perhaps we need to start 'subtracting', 'dividing' and 'sharing' that stuff. Removing stuff, for example, to show the world our natural authenticity – in all its flawed glory.
So, who are we to say someone is fake?
To say someone needs to 'get more real'?
To say someone is not already who they are?
Can anyone REALLY make that call on behalf of someone else?
If so, then who do they think they are?
To say someone must become authentic is to presuppose that they are not.
And we are.
So perhaps it's not really about being authentic.
Perhaps it's really about acceptance.
Perhaps it's even deeper than that.
Perhaps it's about us accepting ourselves!

US President Donald Trump has attacked the team in the Russian investigation in a series of tweets.US President Donald Trump is signalling a more confrontational legal strategy against Robert Mueller's Russia probe, dismissing it as an investigation into a "made up, phony crime".
The cooperative approach in dealing with special counsel Mueller's investigation, as had been advocated by Trump's legal team for months, appears to have gone by the wayside judging by a series of almost a dozen tweets from Trump.
The tweets also reveal Trump's anxiety about how the Russia probe could sway voters as they decide whether to keep congressional Republicans in power or force him to face an aggressive Democratic majority.
Trump's new lawyer, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, has used a string of media appearances to cast the probe as a "totally garbage investigation".
Giuliani has also questioned whether Trump would be treated fairly by Mueller's prosecutors if he were to agree to an interview.
No decision has been made on whether Trump will be interviewed, but a person familiar with the situation said the legal team hopes to resolve that by May 17, which marks one year since Mueller's appointment.
Mueller's team is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 US election and possible coordination with Trump associates as well as whether the president obstructed justice. So far, the special counsel's office has charged 19 people – including four Trump campaign advisers – and three Russian companies.
On Monday, Trump seized on Giuliani's message, focusing on what he sees as the conflicts of interest on Mueller's team.
"The 13 Angry Democrats in charge of the Russian Witch Hunt are starting to find out that there is a Court System in place that actually protects people from injustice…and just wait 'till the Courts get to see your unrevealed Conflicts of Interest!" he wrote.
Trump appeared to be drawing attention to a federal judge's questioning last week of Mueller's authority in a case against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. But it was unclear what legal action Trump was referring to that would touch on "unrevealed" conflicts of interest.
Mueller is a longtime Republican, but some members of his team have made political contributions to Democrats, including to Hillary Clinton, Trump's Democratic opponent in the 2016 election.
Mueller could not have barred them from serving on the team based solely on their political contributions. Federal regulations and Justice Department policy prohibit the consideration of political affiliation in hiring and other personnel actions involving career attorneys.
Mueller's investigation has operated largely in secrecy with the public only getting glimpses into its operation through witnesses who are questioned or when indictments and guilty pleas are publicly unsealed.
It's unclear when the investigation will conclude, a fact that Trump seized on as he worried that it could affect Republican chances in the November midterm elections.
"Is this Phony Witch Hunt going to go on even longer so it wrongfully impacts the Mid-Term Elections, which is what the Democrats always intended?" Trump tweeted. "Republicans better get tough and smart before it is too late."

E-discovery group to introduce rule language in 2010
E-discovery group to introduce rule language in 2010
E-discovery rules for Florida are expected to be proposed next year, according to Lawrence Kolin, who chairs the Civil Procedure Rules Subcommittee on Electronic Discovery.
Kolin's group, consisting of attorneys in diverse areas of practice and members of the judiciary, has been studying the application of the federal rules amendments in this area since their passage.
"Recognizing the strain on resources, we want to incentivize the parties to work though anticipated issues before judicial intervention, whenever possible," said Kolin of Orlando.
Kolin points to the rising burden and cost of discovery in litigation which has resulted in such efforts as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit initiating a pilot program to encourage early and informal information exchange on commonly encountered issues.
"Surprisingly, of the states that have adopted statewide procedural rules largely based on federal language, only a minority has made mandatory the 'meet and confer' provisions — perhaps in deference to the stark difference in state and federal practice culture," said Kolin, adding the discussion over a one-size-fits-all e-discovery rules approach continues.
As an interim step, Kolin said the subcommittee worked with Orange County Bar members, The Florida Bar Business Law Section, and experts in the area, including Ralph Losey and William Hamilton, who teach a law school course in the subject, to create local case management rules.
Kolin said those rules have begun to roll out in the "business courts" or complex business litigation divisions of the state, beginning with the 13th Circuit last summer. Judge Richard Nielsen, who presides over that division, has indicated that most of the cases involving electronically stored information (ESI) have sophisticated businesses as parties and attorneys accustomed to the use of technology and the concepts of preservation and proportionality, according to Kolin.
Kolin recently met with Orlando business court Judges Frederick Lauten and Thomas Smith who he says are in favor of adopting similar language and will be approaching Chief Judge Belvin Perry about a Ninth Judicial Circuit administrative order. He has also contacted 11th Circuit Judge Gill Freeman and General Magistrate Elizabeth Schwabedissen, as well as Judges Jeffrey Streitfeld and Charles Greene in the 17th Circuit, regarding adopting case management rules for ESI in advance of statewide rules.
The subcommittee is also working with members of the joint committee of the Trial Lawyers Section and the conferences of the circuit and county courts judges to include the topic of e-discovery in the next Handbook on Discovery Practice.
Kolin continues to encourage members of the bench and Bar to contact his subcommittee with comments and experiences about electronic discovery at: [email protected].

Up to 60% of how tall you will grow depends on your individual genetics. The remaining 40% relies on how your lifestyle is throughout the time till you reach the age of 20. While it is hard to beat the influence of these factors, you can still manage how tall you look. Along with regular exercise, proper nutrition is one of the best things you can do for your height.
How Your Diet Affects Your Height
Most of the height loss among adults' results from two processes that take place in your spine as you age.
One is the loss of bone density in vertebrae that happens due to significant mineral depletion. Modern diets lack in calcium, phosphorus and other crucial minerals that help bone tissue withstand compression and mechanical damage. Once your vertebral bodies lose these minerals, they start shrinking in size and become prone to deformation.
The other process is the decrease in space between vertebrae that results from intervertebral disc degeneration. Poor hydration and lack of protein are the two usual culprits that cause intervertebral fibrocartilage to degenerate. Once your intervertebral discs lose the capacity to handle mechanical stress, they shrink in size and may even herniate.
The Menu for Your Height
A proper food diet can help you to prevent the processes mentioned earlier and protect your natural height from decreasing. At the minimum, such diet must be rich in calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, protein and clean water. If you can't get these foods on a daily basis you might want to think about a pill to help get you these nutrients.
The groups of foods below contain all the nutrients you need to stay as tall as you can:
- Celery, leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables. From calcium and magnesium to vitamins C and K, these foods provide your bones with everything they need. If you could only pick one source of foods for total skeletal system health, this would be the one.
- Yogurt, cheese, and cottage cheese. These foods are rich in calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D and protein and compliment the foods from the group above. All these nutrients serve as major building blocks of your bones and cartilages making you as tall as possible.
- Nuts and seeds. Being naturally high in magnesium, zinc and quality protein, these foods are indispensable for overall skeletal system health. Ensuring the proper metabolism of the nutrients from the groups above, they help your bones stay strong and healthy.
- Clean water. Proper hydration is vital to the cartilages throughout your whole skeletal system and helps to keep your cartilages healthy. Hydrated cartilages provide a better cushioning effect for your bones and vertebrae allowing you to reach full height potential.
It's Not Just Your Diet
A consistently healthy diet with the needs of your skeletal system in mind can do wonders for your height. Combining it with a regular exercise program and a supplementation plan, however, will maximize the benefits from your diet. Using these major approaches to height enhancement in coherence can help you to reap the full benefits of each.

Arrondissement 17
Louise Michel lived on the Boulevard just outside Paris proper for a few months in 1856 in a flat opposite the Farmers-General wall. It was then a low rent, strongly working-class district. It is now one of the circle of broad boulevards created when that wall was demolished. To the North-West of Batignolles lies Levallois-Perret where Michel is buried.
The word Batignolles comes either from 'bastillole' meaning little country house, or from 'batagliona', the Latin for a battle. In medieval France the rural commune of Batignolles-Monceau belonged to the Benedictine nuns of Montmartre. It was used by the Bourbons for hunting.
Batignolles lay just to the North, outside the Farmers-General Wall around Paris built between 1784 and 1791 by the corporation of hugely wealthy tax farmers (paid by Louis XVI to collect taxes on goods entering Paris), 28 of whom were guillotined in 1793.
The 24km long wall with 64 toll barriers had boulevards on the outside. The Boulevard des Batignolles was one of these boulevards. Today the line of the wall is roughly followed by the Metro lines 2 and 6.
Anger at Paris being 'put in jail' by the wall was a big factor in making the Bourbon rule highly unpopular. The tolls were abolished on 1 May 1791, although restored by the Directorate in 1798.
In 1860 the Batignolles district was incorporated into Paris by the Paris Prefect, Baron Haussmann, and the remaining sections of the wall destroyed, leaving just a handful of the classical designed custom houses.
A working-class area with low rents through the second half of the 19th century, Paul Verlaine (1844-1896) lived here as a child. Édouard Manet lived at No. 34 from 1864 to 1866. Émile Zola (1840-1902) supported him when Manet's paintings were rejected for the 1866 Salon.

My name is Jenny. I live in Pt Lincoln, South Australia. In July 2011, I and four others went to Mwandi for a month. In June 2012 i went back again for six weeks.

How we can make full use of a short attention span
Scrolling through Instagram? Nothing new. Scrolling through Facebook? Nope. Twitter? Nothing. Let's go back to Instagram.
Sounds familiar? This is how millennials spend hours on their phones, toggling between applications in search for new content.
Yet we expect our staff to sustain their focus through hours of workshops or seminars.
Social media understands the new pattern of human behavior. They use it to hook us on their platforms and it works.
Traditional teaching is becoming obsolete – is there a way to adapt the style of learning for the increasingly modern client?
Here are 3 ways Gnowbe is pioneering the innovation of future learning.
1. Consumption of Bite-Sized Content
According to a study in this article, the average person switches gadgets up to 21 times per hour. How do we expect people to learn at a full-day conference jam-packed with chunks of knowledge or bullet-pointed lists?
Microlearning allows information to be digested and delivered succinctly, for easier retention. It also focuses more on the practical application of learning – letting learners try, make mistakes, and train their confidence to use what they've learned.
Thus, the theory is first formed by the practical, and mastery is forged through higher retention.
2. Participative learning
Numerous studies have shown that learning is most effective when learners participate in their own learning process. This can mean anything from reflection, questioning, or answering questions.
Learning is not passive. Learners should take an active role in their learning to find a way that suits them best. Gnowbe requires its users to answer reflective questions, and also to learn from what others have learned via a group board, thus encourage active participation.
3. Collaboration
Collaborative learning styles encourage learners to share their knowledge and build upon each other's understandings. After all, the best learning often comes by talking to others, rarely when we're stressed out by mundane activity and unnecessary competition.
Watch how Gnowbe meets the needs of the modern workforce below, or visit our Youtube channel for more informative videos.

This is a Bentley Speed Six, a marvel of British engineering from 1930, which was restored to its glory in honor of the legendary 1930 Bentley 'Blue Train'.
In 1930, British motor company Rover advertised that it beat the world-famous 'Train Bleu', a luxury
express train, designed to take British aristocrats and celebrities from Calais to the French Riviera.
Originally, the Bentley Speed Six was introduced in 1928 as a more sporting version of the Bentley 61Þ2 litre.
The vehicle's interior is made of red leather, velvet carpeting, and walnut trimmings.
Following the advertisement, Captain Joel Woolf Babe Barnato, a British playboy millionaire and chairman
of Bentley, wagered £100 that his Bentley Speed Six could beat the train as well. (Back in 1930, the
average annual income in the UK was £165)
The Bentley Speed Six was first introduced in 1928 as a sporty version of the Bentley 61Þ2 litre.
They were produced until 1930, when a new model took its place.
The original version also had a champagne and crystal glass holder, but no seat belts.
Despite being off to a bad start, Barnato managed to beat the train by a few minutes, but when the
French authorities got wind of his exploits, he was fined for illegally racing and paid a hefty fine.
The story became infamous and the Speed Six became a legendary vehicle.
The engine was restored to perfect running order, using original and custom-parts.
The boot of the car holds a beautiful surprise as well.
A fancy tool organizer, recreated according to the original specs.
The toolbox folds up to reveal a red velvet trunk, with ample room for the discerning 1930's man of wealth.
The Blue Train version produced 200 hp, reached a top speed of 200km/h (125mph), and won the
24 Hours of Le Mans race in 1929 and 1930. In both races, the driver was none other than
Barnato – the Chairman of Bentley Motors.
