As I write this blog post I'm excited to report that after months of work my book is finally being published on Friday. Half way through developing the manuscript I changed the title to #Upcycle Your Job and the more I worked with that the more sense it made to me.
Upcycling has been a growing trend in the past few years. When we upcycle we take something we would otherwise discard and improve it to create something of higher quality or value than the original. If we can do that with our clothes and furniture why not with our jobs?
In an ideal world employers would regularly upcycle their jobs
in line with their flexible working practices.
Re-designing jobs will soon become a necessity as we move into the age of Artificial Intelligence and the Gig Economy. And when we focus on the notion of improving rather than simply redesigning we become more creative and end up with work that's more valuable to our organisations. The result is upcycled jobs that fit our 21st century working lives.
Occupational Psychologists have known for years that the size and shape of jobs has an impact on wellbeing. Unfortunately it's an increasingly negative impact as employees struggle to disconnect from mobile technology that keeps them constantly tied to work. For many women the situation is exacerbated by employers who agree to reduced hours working but fail to provide any guidance on how the job might be redesigned to accommodate this.
Having people working on unproductive tasks until they are exhausted is not a sound business strategy. When we upcycle jobs we focus on high value outputs that use our most valuable skills. It's not a new idea but one to which I was first introduced (via the Work Out process) back in the 1990s when working for GE.
In the absence of employer led initiatives upcycling our job is down to us: and our career may well depend upon it. If you're tempted to upcycle I offer the following advice:
- It's unlikely you'll be doing anything new. There's plenty of evidence that employees already engage in crafting their jobs to make best use of their skills and personalities. There's also evidence to suggest job crafting enhances wellbeing.
- The intersection where your work-life balance preferences and your flexible working arrangement meet is personal so you're the best person to upcycle your job accordingly.
- Running around with too much to do and little focus will only result in exhaustion. It won't get you promoted. What will is an upcycled job that supports you to achieve the key tasks for which you were hired.
This month I invite you to become the Balanced Leader of your own life; and let my book show you how to #Upcycle Your Job.

AAA Music Approved: Tuvaband
aaamusic | On 16, Nov 2019
Who are you and where are you from?
I'm Tuva, and I'm a songwriter, musician and producer. I'm from a place just outside Oslo in Norway.
What inspired you to get into music?
I've always been listening to music, made a lot of weird noises with my voice, and been writing English lyrics without using them for anything. It was later when I was studying something different that my roommates asked me to start singing instead of making these annoying sounds. They sent me to a guy in our class that was a musician. It was the best feeling, singing that night. After that I borrowed a guitar, played some chords and sung my lyrics. I couldn't stop after that.
What have you done?
I've released an EP and an album. In November I release another album, which is a step away from the minimalistic music I've made earlier. It's the first time I introduce drums in my music. I've also made the demos for my forth album, but that's for next year.
What are you like live?
Until now, compared to the music I've released until 2019, me and the few musicians I've been playing with live have tried to create a new life for the songs live. My recorded music was very minimalistic, but on concerts we tried to shift between sounding like a punk band, even if we didn't have drums, and going very quiet in parts. Now, with the new album coming up we already started playing as a fuller band like on the album. I feel like we have this intense energy on stage when we play together. If the audience can feel this energy too, then I think we're all having a really great time at our shows.
What makes you different?
I aim for my music to be different when it comes to the combination of the elements used in my music. For example the style of production together with the vocal melodies.
Physical vs Downloading vs Streaming…How do you listen to music?
Streaming in my everyday life, and then some evenings I play vinyls.
What have you been listening to?
I recently saw Ty Segall in Berlin. It was great. I'm trying to have a break from Kurt Vile's album 'Childish Prodigy', Feist's album 'Pleasure' and Danger Mouse and various artist's album 'Dark Night of The Soul'. I've been listening to King Krule and Nilüfer Yanya.
What are your aspirations for the future?
I want to stay a full time musician. That's the most important. There is also some festivals I really want to play. I want my third album to be great.
Questions answered by: Tuva Hellum Marschhäuser…
Tuvaband's album 'I Entered The Void' is out 27th November on Brilliance Records and will play The Lexington, London on 5th February 2020

Especially in zones where the usual rules don't apply—like Disneyland Paris. (The entrance to the men's room, it turned out, was around the corner, and indicated by the silhouette of a man in period dress.) This sign could easily be an Imagineer's joke.
The contexts and cues we rely on; how seriously do we take our environments? Past experiences, culled and combined with expectations, combined to form a land where predictions, like dreams, come true.
The subtlety with which we adjust our expectations, and then adjust our behaviors accordingly. Where and when it is socially acceptable to run, or sit, or talk to strangers, or behave outside of normally accepted standards of behavior. The ways in which these spaces change over time, as a reflection or reaction to changes in society. Loiter with a cigarette or a cell phone, but rarely by yourself; the activity is the excuse.
(This is a similar danger to that of construction sites—the usual rules don't apply. But in these cases, the rules are usually more important things, like the existence of a floor or the presence of doors into an elevator shaft. The safety built into our environments and the ways in which it may be circumvented.)

New York, NY (February 2020) - Megaphone, the leading podcast hosting and ad-insertion service for enterprises, announced that it is expanding its platform to Europe. Starting today, European podcasters, radio networks and news organizations will have access to Megaphone's full suite of audio publishing and ad management tools, the same suite currently used by U.S. podcasting giants iHeart Media, Westwood One, The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Vox Media, Pushkin Industries, and Cadence13, among many others.

"European podcasting is exploding with creative energy," said Brendan Monaghan, CEO of Megaphone. "We want to help turn that energy into successful and sustainable businesses across Europe."
According to Statista, monthly podcast listenership rates in Europe are growing quickly, ranging from a low of 21% in the United Kingdom to a high of 37% in Ireland and 39% in Spain (both higher than the U.S. at 35%).

Brian Williams for the Parrot Win!
There are all sorts of funny newspaper reports about this very funny Southern California parrot story. Then there's the short, sweet summary offered up by a certain Nielsen-ratings-restored NBC Nightly News anchor.
The Monty Python possibilities here are endless. The Torrance, CA owner of the African grey parrot, Darren Chick, is a Brit; the name of his parrot is Nigel; and presumably, the feathered friend now wants a churro. After flying the coop four years ago, Nigel wound up living with a Hispanic family for several years before being returned with the help of a local vet.
We're not sure if this parrot business will lead Chick to be added to the Notable People section of Torrance's Wikipedia page. Maybe they make the exception in this case and can start a new section – Notable Parrots.

It was a quiet afternoon of Thursday, June 11. Karnataka was bracing for administrative and political uncertainties with the rumours that a few MLAs of the ruling coalition government JDS and Congress are planning to move to a resort. But unexpectedly, the senior journalists of various media houses received a Whats app video message from an unknown number. It was the beginning of the IMA scam.
It was the shock of their life for thousands of families across the Karnataka and South India. A majority of the victims belong to minority Muslim community. Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mohammed Mansoor Khan, the blue eye boy of the community since 2006 till then had fled from the country leaving his favourite Jaguar car at the Bengaluru airport parking lot. Out of his four wives, only first wife was accompanying him. This is the beginning of the multi thousand crore, I Monetary Advisory (IMA) scam which hit over 38,000 families to the tune of over Rs.3,800 crores. As the pressure started to mount, the state government formed a Special Investigation (SIT) and washed off its hand with Khan blaming the several prominent leaders and bureaucrats for the present fiasco. One of his serious allegations was that a former minister and senior Congress leader who was recently suspended from the party not returned him the advance he availed to the tune of Rs.400 crores!.
The list of arrested in this scam till now include Bengaluru Urban DC Vijay Shankar, a senior IAS officer beside all the Directors and Chief Executive and Managing Director of the Mansoon Khan. Those who are investigated include former ministers Roshan Baig and BZ Zameer Ahmed Khan. The entire episode has several interesting twists and turns.
Halal investment: If the people who knew the IMA MD Khan before the year 2000, they still recall how a small time technician in a garage become a crorepati in next six years. Thanks to his Halal Investment concept.
"He used the Moulvis to lure poor Muslim towards his company," recalls a Shivajinagar resident who wished to be unnamed. "He started his company by offering upto 50% return in a year in the name of investment in the stock market. He started the daily deposit scheme of just Rs.50. Since then there was no looking back. He became a crorepati in next few years. He became a popular face in the social circles of the Muslim community making his companies more popular," he recalled his initial days.
According to the officials who are following the scam, his company made significant investments in the Bullion Trading, Education, Healthcare Services and a Multispecialty Hospital, Hypermarkets & Supermarkets, Infrastructure & Real Estate Development, Printing & Publishing and Retail Sales of Gold, Silver, Diamond & Platinum Jewellery. His company was under the scanner of various regulatory agencies including the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). But a few officers misled. Politicians bailed him out in the time of crisis. But he was forced to reveal the truth due to the liquidity crisis," explained an officer.
"Tens of nomadic community families from Odisha also invested in his company. That reveals his popularity," he said.

Mini budget brings bull rule as index gains 400 points; auto sector in the limelight
During the week ended 21st September 2018 trading at Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) was reduced to three days, on account of Ashura holiday on Thursday and Friday. During the three days trading, the benchmark Index gained 400 points, up 0.98% WoW. The major contribution in this gain came after the announcement of Mini Budget by the incumbent government; the Index gained 718 points in a single trading session.
Much of the Index gain was contributed by automobile assemblers and automobile parts and accessories manufacturers. The sector attracted investors' attention due to removal of ban on buying motor vehicles by non tax filers. Auto stocks remained under severe pressure during the first quarter of the current financial year as the said ban adversely affected sale of automobiles. Further, pharmaceutical sector helped the Index to remain in green due to relief provided on the import of medical equipment etc. Foreigners remained net seller with selling US$12.6million worth of shares during the week as compared to the selling of over US$26 million a week ago. Insurance companies and mutual funds emerged net buyers.
The major news affecting the market during the week were: 1) in a surprising development, Current Account Deficit (CAD) for the month of August 2018 was contained at US$600 million, considerably down by 72% MoM. However, CAD was up 10% YoY during first two months of the current financial year and 2) the Islamabad High Court suspended the prison sentences of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law Mohammad Safdar in the Avenfield corruption reference.
On Monday, 17th September 2018, some TREC Holders and members of PSX Stockbrokers Association challenged an exorbitant and unilateral increase in IT Charges by Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), before the Honorable Sindh High Court. The TREC Holders raised the point that the increase in IT Charges was against the law and the contract between the parties. Although, the counsel for the PSX was present during the hearing and was offered an opportunity to defend its stance, the Honorable Court ordered that the Pakistan Stocks Exchange (PSX) could not collect the increased IT Charges and that the same may be, in the meantime, deposited in Court with the Nazir in a profit bearing scheme.
Earlier, in these pages potential threat for cement industry were highlighted. A review of the quarterly results of a major player indicates these apprehensions coming true. D. G. Khan Cement (DGKC) has reported better than expected 4QFY18 consolidated earnings mainly due to huge tax credit, on account of investment in new cement line in Hub, Balochistan and adjustment of deferred taxes. However, profit before tax was down 66%YoY. Two other worth noting points as regards to 4QFY18 accounts were: 1) other operating expenses going up by a 754%YoY and 2) an increase in other income by 245%.
According to a report by Topline Securities, DGKC booked one-time impairment and at the same time recorded one-time income on one of its power plants, thereby netting off any material impact on the bottom-line. Consolidated revenues were down 2% YoY in 4QFY18, mainly due to 3% decline in sales from cement operations. Cement sales were down on the back of flat dispatches and lower net retention prices. Gross margins were considerably down to 19% in 4QFY18 owing to 1) decline in cement margins and 2) higher production cost of DGKC's associate company in dairy business. Rising input costs like higher coal prices and increase in transportation expenses put pressure on cement margins. Financial expenses grew by 105%YoY during the outgoing quarter on the back of increase in debt levels and increase in interest rates. The brokerage house considers: 1) decline in cement prices, 2) increase in gas and coal prices and 3) lower than expected local cement demand as key risks for DGKC.
Kohinoor Textile Mills announced 4QFY18 result posting EPS of Rs3.60 up 112% YoY. However, the full year earnings of the Company were down by 25% YoY. The Company received a tax credit of Rs248million during the quarter under review. The hike in profit can be attributed to 1) higher sales, rising by 11% YoY, 2) reduction in admin expenses by 14% YoY and 3) other expenses declining by 85% YoY. However, financial cost increased significantly during 4QFY18. The Board of Directors of the Company approved distribution of one rupee dividend per share among the equity holders for the year ended 30th June 2018.
Gul Ahmed Textiles Mills released its 4QFY18 result, posting EPS of Rs2.37 as compared to EPS of Rs1.73 for the corresponding period last year. Better earnings are a result margins improving to 23% and higher sales by 17% YoY. The bottom-line of the company remained under pressure because of 1) a 32%YoY hike in distribution costs; 2) other expenses took a quantum leap of 328% YoY and decline in other income. The Company also announced cash dividend of Rs2.50 per share.
Mughal Iron & Steels Industries announced its 4QFY18, posting an EPS of Rs1.36, up 30% YoY. Higher earnings can be attributed to reduction in other expenses by 21% and margins increasing by 12%. Though, decline in other income was by 61% YoY and increase in financial charges by 57% YoY hurt the profits of the company. Expansion in respect of steel bar re-rolling mill and furnaces has been extended till second quarter of CY19, as disclosed in material information to PSX by the company. However, the Company announced cash dividend of Rs2.20 per share.
The Board of Directors of Shield Corporation approved an investment of Rs4million out of total capital of Rs40million in a private limited company to harness demand for health and hygiene products in rural areas. Reckitt Benckiser Pakistan will be one of the shareholders.

One problem that I'm sure all of us would be interested in having is a penis that is too big, and it turns out that it might even be able to be used as an excuse for when you've been accused of rape.
Featured Image VIA
At least that's what 26-year-old Daniel Green is trying to pull in his current rape trial. Green has been accused of raping a woman in her early 20s after an office party at his firm StratX near Monument. Here are his excuses when he gave evidence at the Old Bailey today:
I drank Prosecco sparkling wine and a can of Kronenbourg beer from the office fridge when I arrived at the after work drinks in the office.
The music was pretty good and I jumped on the desk and started dancing. Everyone was dancing. Very enjoyable.
Someone was sitting on the second row of desks racking up cocaine. There were seven or eight lines so he was sorting out a line for everyone at that time.
However, the mood soured when her friend pretended that her stash of cocaine had been stolen. I emptied my pockets to prove it wasn't me, but most of the StratX men went home then.
It was just me, her and a couple of others. I got into a conversation with her about her work.
When you are talking to someone you notice glances, you have got eye contact. You don't say anything. You might smile. I leaned in for a kiss and we had a snog.
Whilst kissing I stripped to just my socks while unclipping her bra with one hand and helping her out of her black leggings.
I tried to have sex with her in a 'spooning' position, but it was awkward so we turned around to face each other.
I looked up and I saw a tear on her face. So I sat back. I said, 'Fuck you are crying.' She replied, 'Can you leave please, just go.'
I thought she was crying because my penis was hurting her. I always have difficulty when it comes to having sex with girls.
I find my penis is hard to penetrate females. It's ten inches long and around four inches in girth.
It all happened in an instant.
Image VIA
Hmmm, even if this is the case, it sounds like he's a complete and utter dickhead jumping on desks and doing blow at his office and then trying to shag a girl he just met on his desk.
It sounds like this isn't the case if the unknown victim's evidence is anything to go by though – she's claiming that Green mounted her after she fell asleep under a desk because she wanted to get the first train home rather than a taxi and repeatedly said no during the attack. Green is denying that completely.
The victim also wept as she gave her evidence and phoned a friend immediately after it happened, who reported it to the police. None of this looks particularly good for Green, but we'll let the jury decide that. It's probably a bit more complicated than this weirdo who admitted he regularly raped his girlfriend whilst she was asleep. WTF?

Shilpa to walk the red carpet for Desire
Shilpa Shetty will walk the red carpet on August 24, the opening day of the New York Film Festival, to promote her English film, Desire - an Indo-Chinese co-production, produced by her mother.bollywood Updated: Aug 07, 2011 16:07 IST
Shilpa Shetty is spending a quiet weekend in England's Lake District before she flies off to Guyana via New York. She will walk the red carpet on August 24, the opening day of the New York Film Festival, to promote her English film, Desire. The Indo-Chinese co-production, produced by her mother Sunnanda Shetty and Shi Yun bagged the Best Narrative Award at the Boston Film Festival. Says Shilpa, "It features Chinese superstar Xia Yu. We'll release it in China and India, but first we'll do the rounds of the festival circuit."
She's in no hurry to sign another film: "It'll have to be a really tempting offer to make me kick off my sabbatical. I'm enjoying this break after years of working. But I can't wait to return to Mumbai and start my own production — not a baby but a movie."
Shilpa's been talking about producing a movie for three years now. She admits that the earlier R 50 crore project has been shelved as it's no longer feasible. "We'll start another film soon," she promises. What about the buzz during the IPL that she was pregnant? "Doesn't the media have its hands full with Aishwarya (Bachchan) and Lara (Dutta) who are really expecting?" she asks. "I do want a family and everything else that completes me as a woman. I'm waiting for it to happen. Till then, there are other things to keep me busy."
Laughing off rumours that her marriage with Raj Kundra is in trouble, Shilpa says she refuted them on Twitter: "Not because I owe anyone an explanation, but because it's disturbing for the family. Some people would be happy if Raj and I are unhappy, sorry to disappoint. I take most rumours in my stride, but some of these stories hit below the belt. People should know where to draw the line."

Take a look at our website to get a better idea of what Your Residence Improvement Company can do for you, and then give us a call at 1-800-557-2701 to schedule a FREE estimate. The complete model of this may be found within the Private Loans Key Info Document which can be accessed via the hyperlink above. When a property proprietor desires to decide to take a position some amount on their homes for transforming or enchancment undertaking on this time of point they could having lot of doubts in their mind. Tim heads out back to run things over with Wilson, like all good neighbor would.
Security should always be on the forefront of your thoughts while you're doing home enchancment work. Visiting most upscale paint stores you might be prone to get free or cheaply priced shade chips. Ideas small bathroom might not be an optimum solution should you use a shower regularly, but in some households this can be the proper resolution to create more usable house. If you happen to're a home enchancment , you are in all probability already alert to this all too effectively. Shops sell a glue that comes pre-loaded in a syringe just for any such objective.
In case you reside in an residence or have a small yard, you may create a beautiful pond by using an previous half-whiskey barrel, discovered at most hardware and home enchancment stores. Go to a house heart to see a whole choice of parts and get arrangement ideas.
I haven't seen Home Enchancment reruns for a few years, but I never remember it being this weak. Over time, sitcoms are likely to degrade until nothing is left but their catchphrases, and—Tim's battle cry of Extra power!" aside—that grunting sound is pretty much all anybody remembers about Dwelling Improvement. With the intention to properly renovate your kitchen space when taking over a house enchancment venture, it is essential that you just shut down the water. Hindman had fewer roles after Residence Improvement ended, with a couple of visitor roles on Law & Order and a part in the 2001 film Remaining.
Low voltage kits are offered at many hardware and home enchancment shops and come with a built-in transformer that has a timer. To conclude, whereas you'll have been not sure of home enchancment up to now, now you're aware of exactly the best way to go about it. Improbable! State regulation doesn't require residence improvement contractors to be licensed, but many Ohio cities do.

Maryland Page Program
October 23, 2018
The Student Page Program is a wonderful program for high school seniors in Maryland, and what the students get to do is go to the maryland general assembly and work as a page. The program runs from the second week in January to early April. A page will serve two non consecutive weeks learning about Maryland lawmaking, and is a great opportunity for students who would like to work in government positions or even internationally to start networking and complete internships.To apply go and speak with Mr. Adams and pick up an application. There is a series of interviews that will take places and two people from St.Mary's County and one alternative will be chosen. After an interview with Mr. Adams, he states that this is a good resume builder, and this is just a great opportunity in itself. For the interview with Mr. Adams tune into LTV's segment on (let's plan a date for this to air)
This program will broaden your knowledge on your interest in governmental positions and allow you to navigate your way through the life of a working government official. How this program is meant to broaden your knowledge is through learning the law making procedures. Another perk of doing this is you will meet new people and network for the future when you are ready to start getting jobs. Right now the Department of Legislative Services have a few job openings Policy Analyst Intern. What they do is create budgets and presentations, and they analyse how the budget affects the state. Another is a WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPER. What they do is design and support web applications.

Every Christmas retailers wait with bated breath to see how sales officially panned out for the holidays and ultimately for the year.
In 2013, an early Hanukkah/Thanksgiving combo threatened to usher in a sluggish season. Add to that a still-recovering economy and the erratic weather, and it seemed like people were disinclined to really splurge this year.
Or were they?
My mailbox has been brimming over with glossy holiday catalogs hawking oddball items with startling price tags. And since I also write holiday gift guides, I'm also inundated with over-the-top gift ideas. Apparently, a certain segment of the gift-buying public lusts after gem-encrusted headphones ($1,000) and tricked-out scooters ($15,000).
Yet I was initially most perplexed when presented with the idea of the Trump SoHo New York's gift concierge service, which offers the ability to brainstorm with a personal gift shopper from the comfort of a cushy hotel bed. After all, most people I interview are on strict budgets — trying to make gifts not only Instagram-worthy but also both meaningful and memorable. Many of them also talk about working so hard they miss out on the important things in life.
The concierge has "ins" with the most exclusive stores in town and almost magically makes even the hardest-to-find gifts appear all wrapped and waiting in your room by day's end. So perhaps spending a night in a lavish suite and indulging in spa services while a gift concierge runs holiday errands is less about luxury than briefly stopping to smell the roses.
And while some of us still search for the perfect — if sometimes pricey — gifts, others hope to find ways to both give and give back. Evelyn Tipacti, a community relations specialist, wants to teach her young daughter the true meaning of Christmas "instead of focusing on crazy sales and endless stream of gifts." In place of gifts this year, she's donating to charities matching her friends' interests and ideologies. "You give, but you also receive."
In that vein, Doug Fleener, president of retail consultancy Dynamic Experiences Group of Lexington, Mass., said that too many of us forget to be nice to salespeople. "Treat store employees the way you want you or your family members to be treated," he said. And while you're at it, buy local when possible. Scott Roberts, owner of the Gamer's Gambit in Saddle Brook, N.J., asks people to support local businesses because no matter what's on your list "you can find almost anything you want in a local store."
Except of course, for a gift concierge.
Rachel Weingarten is the author of the forthcoming book "Ancient Prayer: Channeling Your Faith 365 Days of the Year."

For the next couple weeks, I'm giving serious answers to the questions in my humorous post The Top 10 Things People Say to Writers, and How You Should Respond. So when you're tired of being snarky this will help you give some constructive–and helpful–answers to your non-writer friends and family.
On to number four!
4. I wrote a book too! Can you hook me up with your publisher?
I've gotten this question several times since I've been published, and I can tell you it always comes from someone who, while they may be a writer, has no experience with the writing industry, and has never queried any of their work before. Just like you wouldn't ask a doctor to 'hook you up' with the hospital they work at or a lawyer to just give you a spot at their firm, asking a writer to give you an in with their publisher is like trying to get a job without submitting a resume or doing an interview first. Sure, you can put in a good word for someone at most jobs, but you actually can't do that when it comes to publishing.
Obviously, there are famous writers who have friends and family who are also published, but those people didn't get published on the famous writer's suggestion alone–they still had to be good at storytelling and submit their work. The famous writer might have gotten their friend to the front of the line to be seen, but the friend had to have a good product to bring to the meeting. Also, the weight of a famous writer's suggestion is a hell of a lot heavier than the rest of us small fries. If Stephen King asks his editor to read someone's work, you can bet your ass they're going to set aside some time in their day, but if I try the same thing they're going to be like "wait, we published you?"
My funny answer on the list: Absolutely. Every Saturday my publisher and I have a champagne brunch and I give them the unpolished manuscripts of all the writers I know who can't be bothered to learn how to compose a query letter, construct a synopsis, or the take the time to look up and follow submission guidelines. My publisher loves it and waits breathlessly for this meeting every week. Plus you know, I'm their favorite author so they trust my judgement.
A more constructive answer: Publishing is a difficult business, and to get in there's a lot of specific hoops you have to jump through. Is your manuscript polished to the best it can be? Have you written a synopsis? Can you construct a query letter? Do you have a list of prospective agents/editors to submit to, and do you understand their submission guidelines? Do you know your target audience? I can show you some resources for all these things. I can't get you published, that's work you have to do on your own, but I do know the mechanics of submission and I can help you out with any questions you have.
Have you ever had anybody ask you to 'hook them up?' How did you respond?

TBILISI, Georgia (AP) The governing party in Georgia has solidified its control of the ex-Soviet nation's Parliament, winning enough seats to change the country's Constitution, according to early runoff election results released Monday.
The Georgian Dream party took 67 of the Parliament's 150 seats in voting three weeks ago. During Sunday's runoffs, it won 48 of the 50 remaining seats to give it a 115-seat majority.
Georgian Dream was started by tycoon Bidzina Ivanishvili, who made his fortune in Russia. He later became prime minister, but even after stepping down from the post he is still seen as the party's dominant figure.
The opposition United National Movement, led by former President Mikhail Saakashvili, only won 27 seats. Although Saakashvili was stripped of his citizenship after becoming governor of Ukraine's Odessa region, he holds wide influence in UNM, which denounces the governing party as the creation of a Russian oligarch.
Both Georgian Dream and United National Movement are pro-West with goals of establishing better relations and possible eventual membership in NATO and the European Union.
But Georgian Dream has tried to balance these aspirations with repairing relations with Russia that were shattered under Saakashvili.
During Saakashvili's rule, Russia and Georgia fought a short war in 2008 that ended with Georgia losing control of two Russia-friendly separatist regions.
The issue of the regions' status has remained a key irritant, but ties between Moscow and Tbilisi have improved following Saakashvili's departure.
Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili pledged over the weekend to further boost economic and cultural ties with Russia, a course he said "has contributed to the feeling of stability in Georgia."
The three-fourths majority Georgian Dream holds in Parliament would give it the votes to change the Constitution. The party is expected to introduce an amendment that would end popular presidential elections and make the presidency a position appointed by Parliament.

How can I simulate a reservation of trains before buying my eurail ticket?
I want to simulate my reservations before buying my eurail globe pass, so I can see if there are still seats remaining on the trains before spending money on the globe pass. Is that possible?

Jon Young leads Elliot Lake
Russell Peters recalls Fred Kolar
Remarkable Teacher Fred Kolar is still an important person for
Russell Peters
by Bill Harris
Anyone who has seen Russell Peters perform one of his stand-up comedy routines knows he isn't shy. Peters specializes in saying things that others won't say. It's all for the purpose of making audiences laugh all around the globe, of course, and Peters takes pride in his bluntness.
One of his favourite targets, as it turns out, is his school years.
Peters has a term for his high school that we won't repeat here. Suffice it to say that if comedy is the most sincere form of flattery, then North Peel Secondary School in Brampton should be really, really flattered.
"I make fun of it because I actually really liked it there," says Peters, who has become one of the most famous and accomplished stand-up comedians in Canadian history.
Peters didn't always like school. But the main reason things started to turn around for him when he arrived at North Peel was his relationship with one teacher in particular.
That teacher's name is Fred Kolar.
Has Peters ever expressed his feelings to Kolar in terms as blunt as those he utilizes in his comedy act?
"Uh, I don't think I have," he says, after pausing to ponder the question. "I think just by staying in touch and being friends with him – you know, I literally see him, in a year, about 15 times, I see him quite often when I'm back from Los Angeles … Whenever I'm home we go out to dinner or whatever.
"Fred Kolar is still an important person in my life."
The feeling is mutual.
"I'm very proud of Russell but not because he's famous. I was there when he was performing at Yuk Yuk's with 10 people in the audience," says Kolar. "I'm proud of him because he's a great person."
Peters, a Canadian of Anglo-Indian descent, has truly become an international comedy sensation, and his no-holds-barred brand of multicultural comedy has played a large part in his success.
Now 38, he was born at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.
"I went to St. Cecilia's in Toronto for Junior Kindergarten," Peters recalls. "Then, for nine years, I went to George Vanier in Brampton, which is a Catholic school."
So, that was nine years on a four-year program, was it?
"That's why you're the writer and I'm the comic," Peters shoots back.
Point taken.
"Anyway, I was at George Vanier from Senior Kindergarten to Grade 8," he continues. "Then I went to Chinguacousy for Grades 9 and 10. I got kicked out of there and went to North Peel for 11 and 12."
Peters manages to work many of his colourful school adventures into his comedy act.
"It's true, I do," he says. "It's funny because people think I make it all up. And I'm like, 'No, this is real.'"
We think we know the answer to this already but we'll ask anyway: Was Russell Peters a good student?
"I was not a good student," Peters replies predictably. "I was not a big fan of schooling, to be honest with you.
"If you're artistic, sometimes school can be a bit of a challenge. If what you plan on doing in life entails academics, then that's the way you should go. But for an artistic person, a free spirit, school in the structured sense can be very frustrating. You obviously need a learning atmosphere but perhaps something that doesn't have so much structure to it."
In other words, for a long time Peters felt like a square peg in a round hole.
"For a person like me, who has ADD, my thoughts are scattered whilst I'm talking to you, you know? So for a long time, school was not a good place for me because I'd just get frustrated."
Does Peters really have attention deficit disorder or is he overstating for comic effect? It's not like he's never done that before.
"It was never diagnosed but I'm pretty sure I have ADD," Peters says with a chuckle that further masks whether or not he is serious. "I don't have the hyper one, I just have the can't-focus one, and way more thoughts than one person needs in his life. But for me I guess it works out great, considering my profession."
As his school years progressed, Peters developed a clear sense of what a good teacher was.
"I'll tell you something, it's the teachers that get you who are good," he says. "It's the teachers who understand and recognize you as an individual and say, 'I understand how this kid's working and this is how he needs to be spoken to.' It doesn't work when they clump you together and try to make it formulaic. That's not how the world works."
Kolar says that North Peel has a lot of students who have been labelled and the labels have stuck, even though many of them don't belong in a vocational school at all.
"They're very, very smart kids and they end up in the vocational system merely because they don't seem to fit in the normal stream of things. So I try to give them confidence.
"I tell them I will be equally proud of them whether they become a chef or a dishwasher or whatever it is they want to be, as long as they're doing the best they can and they're good people. I tell them I want them to be better than me – and they always laugh. But as soon as they laugh, I know I've maybe got through to them somehow."
Peters took chef training with Fred Kolar. "He was a fantastic teacher, a phenomenal teacher. He gave me chef training and I learned a lot from him in that field. But he also understood me as a human.
"Even though he was very encouraging with what I was doing in chef training, I think he understood there was something else I needed and wanted to do. And he gave me the freedom to express myself in whatever way I chose." So did Peters feel as if he had an immediate rapport with Fred Kolar? "No, he's a good teacher because you didn't need to create a rapport with him," Peters says. "He wasn't there giving off the vibe of, 'I don't know if I'm going to like this kid or not.'"
Kolar remembers Peters as having a way of reaching out to even the most problematic students in the class.
"He made other people smile, even back then," Kolar recalls. "And it wasn't goofiness or vulgar language, it was just the way he was. He's a people person and people connect with him. He's still doing it to this day."
For Peters, the most important thing was not the subject that Kolar taught, it was his demeanour and actions. "He taught his students about respecting other people," says Peters. "And that's an incredible life lesson to have passed along."
It seems that the school gave Peters more than just material for his act.
"I think all of the teachers at North Peel, which is the school I talk about in my act – they made a big difference for me. And as bad a student as I was, it was very conducive to the way I needed to learn.
"Fred treated everyone as an individual, no matter how messed up they were. Listen, we had some messed up kids in our class, let me tell you. When I was in that school we had some real doozies, you know what I mean? But Fred Kolar treated everybody with respect."
Being treated by his teacher like a person of importance allowed Russell to feel like a person of importance and, no doubt, helped build the confidence he'd need to pursue a career in something as volatile as stand-up comedy.
Kolar also provided a model for pursuing one's passion.
"On top of everything, he's also a world-class chef," Peters says of Kolar. "He was the head of the Escoffier Society when I was in school. He's a real chef.
"Fred Kolar treated everybody with respect."
"He could have completely just dashed away from this whole school thing. He didn't have to be teaching kids. He does it because he loves it."
That's one of the keys to success in any field.
"When somebody loves what they do, that's what makes them good at it," Peters says. "I love doing stand-up. This is what I love to do and I think it shows in my work. But the same goes for teachers.
"There are people in every profession who do it for the paycheque. But let's be honest, teachers are underpaid, you know what I mean? They aren't doing it for the loot. So the teachers who do it because they care about the kids, those are the good ones."
Indeed, those are the good ones. And for world-renowned funnyman Russell Peters, the best one of all was Fred Kolar.
"That's what Fred Kolar was for me, a great teacher," Peters says.
"He's still at North Peel Secondary School. He's still there to this day. And he's still a friend."

Brexit latest: Nigel Farage snubs EU's £153,000 golden goodbye 'won't take a penny'
The Brexit Party leader's spokesman said he could claim for his 20-year stint as a member of the European parliament, but decided against it. He is one of the UK's 73 MEPs to be informed this week about any cash payouts they are due, The Guardian reports. Mr Farage's spokesman said: "He won't take a penny."
The Brexit Party leader is entitled to a pre-tax sum worth £152,992 (€178,657) under a European parliament "transition allowance".
The sum is for ex-MEPs and his would be based on his 20 complete years since he started in 1999.
In 2017, Mr Farage was asked whether he would take the funds and he told Sky News he would "probably" take the money.
However, most of Mr Farage's Brexit Party MEPs will get no golden goodbye as they have only been MEPs for less than a year having stormed into European Parliament in July last year.
It comes as Mr Farage today expressed his outrage over a bizarre demand from the EU while in European Parliament.
Ursula von der Leyen demanded the Brexit Party remove their Union Jack mini flags from their desks, sparking a furious response from Mr Farage.
The Brexiteer launched a tirade on Twitter at the demand that came today while at European Parliament in Brussels.
He said: "We have just had our Union Jack flags removed from our desks in the European Parliament, by order of the President.

"National symbols are now banned.
"Thank God we are leaving."
Mr Farage's 1.47million followers were quick to comment on the matter.
One suggested: "All BP MEPs should turn up in Union Jack blazers."

Another said: "I can't believe its happening @Nigel_Farage, next month we will have our country back."
A third said: "What an absolute farce."
Another added: "Time to get rid of all the #EU flags still mysteriously flying from public buildings in London!"
Another said: "Are all national flags for all EU nations being removed?
"Or are the union flags only being removed in readiness for the UK's departure?
"But if all nations are having their flags removed, then how can increased federalism now be denied? Thank God we are leaving!"
The order came from the new European Commission President Ms Von der Leyen, who only took up her role in November, two months ago.
Last week she visited Prime Minister Boris Johnson at No10.
She said the UK and EU will still have an "unbreakable" bond after Brexit.
But Ms Von der Leyen added the UK will have to accept compromises over leaving the EU at the end of this month.
She said: "Our partnership cannot and will not be the same as before.
"It will not be as close as before because with every choice comes a consequence. With every decision, comes a trade-off.
"Without the free movement of people, you cannot have the free movement of capital, goods and services.
"Without a level playing field on environment, labour and state aid, you cannot have the highest quality access to the world's largest single market.
"The more divergence there is, the more distant the partnership will be."

After getting emails about this prior to its release, I really wanted one - then our local Woodcraft had a full display - legs were very sturdy and felt more solid than the MFT - also with the Kreg sawhorse and connectors this would hold and break down a full 4x8 sheet easier than the MFT - wheels to move it around, the double hinge track saw guide system, . . . I was sold, the only problem was I didn't like the saw (why Kreg went with a propiotory saw blade instead of a standard track saw blade size 160 or 165mm, was irritating) - also why not allow those with existing track saws to use the table.So I got the table, then modified it to accept a Festool TS 55 R, using a FS 1900 75" Track (cut down to the 62" length, yep that hurt) - swapped the hinges so they fold to the right, re-drilled the track mount on the hinge 7/8" in from the Kreg hole and Wall-a! It works!!! Great table and with the Festool TS great cuts and dust control.Notes: with the hinges going the other way, when you stand the table up the track will want to flop down, so I use a small bungee on the top end to hold it up for transport, as previously noted the 3/4" holes are a pain instead of the 20mm - but I already had some 3/4 dogs as well, just can't use my MFT clamps (considering reaming the holes or CNC'ing a new water resistant MDF top with 20mm holes)
"as previously noted the 3/4" holes are a pain instead of the 20mm"I wonder how difficult it would be to make a jig to bore out the 3/4" holes to 20mm using a router.Something like the drill guide from the Parf guide system. I know it's only a fraction difference but to retain precision it would be vital to maintain the spacing.
... rail would have to sit 1/2" close to the edge of the table ...
Quote from: danielhaley on April 08, 2019, 10:09 PM... rail would have to sit 1/2" close to the edge of the table ...Does this mean that Festool rail is 1/2" wider than Kreg measuring from guide ridge to the splinter guard?

January 21, 2016 by Robert Franklin, Esq, Member, National Board of Directors, National Parents Organization
Hard on the heels of Judge Susan Strong's ruling that orders Court Administrator Corey Steel to turn over documents used in training Nebraska family court judges regarding child custody and parenting time comes this op-ed (Lincoln Journal Star, 1/15/16). It's by Shawna Thompson, who clearly knows her stuff.
On its face, Thompson's article is simply another in a long line of opinion pieces urging judges to order equal parenting or legislators to reform state laws on child custody to ensure that children don't lose a parent following divorce. Thompson's right on her facts and on the issues and her arguments are compelling.
Of course, kids do better with two parents actively involved in their lives. But,
many people still fail to understand the importance of fathers. According to research by Joan Berlin Kelly, 50% of mothers "see no value in the father's continued contact with his children after a divorce."
In light of this alarming statistic, it is perhaps not surprising that a study published by the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry found that "40 percent of mothers report that they had interfered with the noncustodial father's visitation on at least one occasion, to punish their ex-spouse."
A recent report by the Federal Administration for Children and Families describes a harmful phenomenon called "maternal gatekeeping," in which mothers interfere with fathers' access to their children. According to this report, "more than half of nonresident fathers offered accounts of gatekeeping behavior, ranging from refusing to grant physical access to making frequent last-minute schedule changes.
Gatekeeping also came in more indirect forms, such as refusal to communicate in person or by phone, withholding information from the father about the child, or berating the father."
Motives for maternal gatekeeping vary. In some cases, mothers use children as a weapon and deny fathers access to their children as a way to punish them. In other cases, mothers use children for financial gain. According to the ACF report, "mothers would sometimes restrict access when a father failed to provide 'extras' over and above the required child support."
It's remarkable to me that Thompson cites the ACF report. It's a fairly obscure work about which no one has commented in the mainstream press to my knowledge. I wrote three pieces on it and Thompson's is the only other piece I know of. Good for her. She's doing her homework.
Having laid the groundwork on the need of children for full relationships with their fathers, Thompson goes on and demands that Nebraska family judges do a better job of keeping dads in kids' lives. And it's here that I find the connection between Thompson's piece and Judge Strong's ruling.
As Thompson points out, following the Nebraska study conducted in 2013 of family court orders in child custody cases, we now know that those judges are performing poorly at their Job One — ensuring that the best interests of children are met.
According to a 2013 Nebraska Supreme Court study that reviewed ten years of Nebraska custody data, mothers were awarded sole or primary custody in 72% of cases. The study also found judges grant noncustodial parents about 17% of the parenting time on average, which is only half the minimum time recommended by mental health research. According to the research, judges should grant at least 35% parenting time to each parent except in limited cases.
Do Nebraska's judges know the social science on parenting time and children's well-being? If they do, then many of them need to find new employment because they're failing to issue orders that keep both parents actively involved in children's lives. But what I strongly suspect is that they don't know the science, that they're ruling as best they can, given what they've been taught.
At this point, however, Nebraskans don't know what their family judges are taught about the value of fathers to children, but that looks like it will soon change. My guess is that they've been taught some very dubious notions backed by very dubious science, or none at all. We'll soon find out.
Second, Nebraska judges need to enforce parenting time orders more rigorously. Mothers who violate parenting time orders often are not punished until the third or fourth violation. Not only is this harmful to the children involved, it is also very different from how judges enforce child support orders…
Third, judges should be far more sensitive to situations in which one parent interferes with the child's relationship with the other parent. These situations, sometimes called "parental alienation" or "parent-child relationship problem," require immediate intervention. Unfortunately, many judges fail to act or unintentionally enable the bad behavior, which often causes lasting harm to the children and targeted parent.
Finally, judges should have a greater awareness of false domestic violence allegations, which is a common tactic in maternal gatekeeping situations. A 2005 study in Family Court Review found 59% of domestic violence allegations made in contested custody cases were not supported by evidence. Similarly, an analysis of domestic violence restraining orders concluded 81% were unnecessary or based on false allegations. This is consistent with other evidence that "between 50% and 80% of abuse allegations cannot be substantiated in child custody cases where a high conflict exists between the parents and there is a young child involved."
Again, judges who know the science behind equal parenting will be far less likely to engage in the behavior Thompson describes. They'll be more likely to punish parents who interfere with children's access to the other parent, try to poison the child against the other parent, make false allegations of domestic violence or child abuse, etc.
Judges aren't likely to issue or enforce orders that promote the best interests of children if they don't know what children need. If they think that kids don't need their fathers, why would they concern themselves with keeping fathers in children's lives?
Thompson's right on every point. But more importantly, we'll soon know what Nebraska's judges have been taught about that most important of all issues — parenting time and children's well-being. I suspect the information we'll soon be receiving will be a revelation to Nebraskans. I think Judge Strong's order is one of the most important developments to come along in years.

After 2 years marketing houses with some incredible results and outstanding support from our local community, we have come to the realisation that the real need in the marketplace is for high-quality, unbiased information that helps buyers and sellers make better real estate decisions.
So this year, we are going to focus our time on creating more blog content and more podcasts.
Rather than run 2 websites at once, we are going to publish new posts and podcasts via this site (my personal blog), which is why you have been re-directed here. We hope you can spare a moment to check out some of our past articles and podcasts.
Our goal is to provide you with the best real estate advice you can find anywhere on the web. Make sure you follow us on Spotify and use the form at the bottom of this page to subscribe to future email updates.
How can I help you moving forward?
30-minute one-on-one consultations. Do you know someone who needs unbiased real estate advice? Ever since the blog became popular, I realised there is a shortage of good quality consumer information in the marketplace and most people have nowhere to go to ask for advice when it's time to make important decisions. Like whether to sell a property or not, which agent to hire, what to do in a multiple offer situation etc. Visit this page to book a skype call and I'll be your sounding board.
Recommend an agent. Are you thinking of selling but don't know who to hire? Would you like a recommendation? Visit this page and I will put you in touch with the salesperson I would feel comfortable using in your market.
Moving forward, I will also be furthering my education around my two other major passions: Plant-based food and climate change. There is so much to learn when it comes to these interlinked subjects. I hope you will join me on this journey and won't mind occasional blog posts on these two topics that are very dear to my heart.

ELMAR'S in the Valley bartender Jason Macgill is getting UGLY to help beat blood cancer.
The bartender is hoping to take out the title of UGLY bartender of the year after already raising $1500 towards the cause.
The fundraising competition asks bartenders to demonstrate their Understanding, Generous, Likeable You by raising money for the Leukaemia Foundation's vital accommodation service.
Mr Macgill said he decided to take part this year as a way to give back and help those living with leukaemia.
"I signed up for the first time this year and we have so raise more than $1000 for people living with blood cancer," he said.
"Our patrons have been so supportive, they have happily donate their change to the cause and have given generously at the events we have held."
He said a few dollars went a long way.
"A bit of loose change may not mean much to everyone, but when donated it can add up and make a big difference," he said
Since it started nine years ago, the fundraiser has raised more than $1 million.
The Leukaemia Foundation's fundraising campaigns manager Naz Ellat said every $80 raised would fund one night's accommodation for a patient and their carer while they access treatment.
"Across Australia our dedicated UGLY bartender entrants have already raised $735,000 to help patients and their families fight blood cancer," she said.
