Managing your property in Spain
Spain is one of the 28 countries that make up the European Union, and one of the 19 that make up the Eurozone. With a territory covering 505,370 square kilometers, Spain is the fourth largest country on the European continent as well as one of the most mountainous, with a median altitude of 650 meters above sea level. The country is divided into the Spanish mainland, the Balearic Islands (in the Mediterranean Sea), the Canary Islands (in the Atlantic Ocean), and Ceuta and Melilla (in northern Africa). The territory is organized into a total of 17 autonomous communities, 50 provinces, two autonomous cities (Ceuta and Melilla), and contains a total population of almost 46.5 million inhabitants, according to the 2016 census.
To the outside world, the two most attractive features of Spain are its beaches and the amount of sun it receives each year. The country has more than 4,900 kilometers of coastline, more than 2,500 hours of sun each year, and a mild climate for most of the year. The only places in Spain to experience less than 2,000 hours of sun each year - as well as greater rainfall than the rest of the country - are the Cantabrian coast and the mountainous regions. After France and the US, Spain is the third most visited country in the world, having received 75.6 million tourists in 2016, according to data from the World Tourism Organization. Tourism constitutes an important part of the Spanish GDP (16%) as well as of the construction industry (5.6%).
Hot cities in Spain
Barcelona is an ideal city to invest to. As the Spanish real estate market shows excellent potential for profitability, investors are attracted to Barcelona's low interest rates and solid economy. New homes are the most popular investment and are expected to continue to represent at least 50% of the transactions in the first quarter of 2018. Invest in Barcelona real estate
When buying a house in Málaga, you can choose between fabulous villas on the coast, beachfront apartments or older apartments 'isn the old town. It's a good time to buy property in Spain. After the real estate crisis prices fell enormously and are just now beginning to rise again, thus offering interesting investment opportunities - use them to get your return on investment asap. How to buy in Málaga
Alicante is a Mediterranean city that offers a magnificent quality of life due to its warm and sunny climate, its affordable prices, its gastronomy, and its network of shops. With both a port and a beach, it is a very attractive destination for foreigners and investors looking for good buying opportunities. Alicante is currently the fourth most profitable city in Spain. How to buy in Alicante
The Capital of Spain
When talking about Spain we mostly think about Barcelona, Marbella or Alicante as the hottest tourist destinations. However there are more locations worth while considering for relocation or property purchase, like Madrid. Madrid is located in the heart of Spain with no direct access to the sea, however it has a lot to offer both to tourists and working expats. Madrid is the eighth financial center of Europe (after London, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Paris, Hamburg, Dublin and Munich). And they say there is a possibility to make it the main European Financial Center after Brexit. Also Madrid is cheaper than Barcelona, San Sebastián and Vitoria and has real gems both in living and real estate. Consumer prices in Madrid are 3,33% lower than in Barcelona, and there are 17 Michelin starred restaurants in Madrid in 2018. As for property purchase opportunities in Madrid, we would recommended to take a look at newly constructed houses (new constructions have ~28% increase in recent years) - it's getting really affordable to buy a house in Madrid.
Frequently asked questions about property purchase in Spain
|Can I buy property in Spain as a foreigner? Are there any limits and what is required?
|There are no limits for non-citizens to buy property in Spain. You just need to have all the documents translated to provide to Notary, Land Registry and bank. Additionally you need to get a NIE (personal identification number) to close the deals. Good news is that you can get a residence status if you buy a house or several houses for 500K€.
|Is it possible to buy a house within 50 000 euro budget? In which regions would it be possible?
|You can find small apartments in touristic areas, but check everything twice to make sure you get what you pay for. Since house prices in Barcelona are quite high you can look for other coastal cities like Almeria, some areas of Alicante and Murcia, Castile or Aragon. Cheaper houses can be found in inland like Toledo, Albacete or Cáceres.
|I am buying a house for my kids to go to tennis school, which area should I consider?
|The Levante area is famous for its tennis schools, as well as Barcelona, Valencia and the Balearic Islands. There are numerous academies and facilities to practice. In case of looking for a house with access to tennis courts there are also multiple options. But we would recommend to visit the regions and check those schools first before buying a house.
|Is it true that property debts are transferred to the new owner? How to avoid it?
|That's true, debts are associated with property thus it is crucial to consult the Land Registry prior to signing the sale contract to make sure you don't get any debts from the previous house owner. For appr. 20-30€ you can do a land registry search and get details about any legal issues of the house. Or you can hire a lawyer to handle all issues.

Due to changes in the river forecast, a previously issued flood warning has expired and is no longer in effect.
The National Weather Service had issued a flood warning for the Arkansas River at Cañon City beginning late Tuesday night. The river was expected to reach flood stage at midnight Tuesday night and go above flood stage Wednesday evening.
However, conditions including precipitation events are still favorable that might cause the Arkansas River to raise above flood stage levels during the week.
Those participating in water activities or activities near the river should use extreme caution as strong currents could become a safety hazard. Citizens are advised to use extreme caution around the river, or stay away from it completely, until the water levels return to normal.

What if I went to my boss and said, "Remember how I haven't done anything you wanted for the last ten years? Remember how I never even tried to change all of the things you asked me to change? Well, isn't it great that I've finally changed the way I work so I finally do all those things that I should have always been doing? I want more money."
My boss would laugh me out of the room. In fact, it would be shocking that he put up with me for so long. Ridiculous, right?
Well, that's exactly what Microsoft is doing with its Windows 7 ads. Those ads open with someone dreaming about something really simple that their PC should do and then go on to tell you how Windows 7 now does that really simple thing that everyone knows it should have done all along. The sad thing is that it's going to work. They'll sell millions of copies of their operating system because PCs are cheap and they all come with Windows. Most people don't give a shit that Microsoft is comparing these great new computers with their new software to those crappy older computers running the old version of their software.
I wish my boss was that dumb.

Developmental Patterns: Working with Babies, Children and Adults
MBS Program Director Leora Gaster explains how the same principles behind Mind Body Studies are reflected in the natural processes of child development. Whether we are adults, children or babies, the movements that we explore in group or individual MBS lessons are opportunities to recognize ourselves through our own movement patterns.
Since the learning process used in MBS is direct and experiential, there's no need to rely on language, to convey a philosophy, or to adopt special beliefs. On the contrary, we're already hard-wired to learn rapidly and deeply through our own bodies and movements.
Throughout Mind Body Studies lessons, and all the work of Moshe Feldenkrais, movement provides the basis for us to reconnect with learning abilities that are actually "hardwired" in the human organism. As Leora describes working with babies and indeed the entire MBS approach, she emphasizes our genetic predisposition for learning. From conception, our DNA is pre-programmed to enable certain basic patterns of movement.Continue reading

Have you ever played a video game where you find yourself asking, 'where do I know that voice from'?Racking your brain in attempts to recall where you have heard some voices can bug you for hours because you just can't figure it out. If you are among the few that recognized the voice – congratulations – you're part of the cool kids club.
Below, you'll find a list of some actors that have lent their voice talent to video games. Gears of War, Mass Effect 3, and Halo 3: ODST are just a few of the games that are listed below. Keep on reading to find out which actor has made the list.
Aisha Tyler:
You may recognize Aisha from Friends and 24, but if you know Aisha Tyler, then you know she's a gamer. She's hosted the Ubisoft panel at E3 for the last two years and isn't afraid to make her love of video games public. Aisha Tyler lent her lovely voice to Gears of War 3: RAAM's Shadow DLC, voicing Commander Walker. Aisha is also set to appear in Watch Dogs, which comes out this November.
Nathan Fillion:
Nathan played Captain Malcolm Reynolds on Firefly, Joss Whedon's cult TV hit. You may also recognize him from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog or Slither. Nathan is known as a lover of all things geek and gaming. He voiced Buck in Halo 3: ODST. Those of you who played the game you may even recognize that Buck looks just like Nathan Fillion.
Kiefer Sutherland:
He's mostly known for his role on 24. He played Jack Bauer, you know that guy that screamed 'damn it' in almost every episode. You may even recognize him from The Lost Boys. Kiefer Sutherland is a veteran actor and he will be voicing Snake in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Freddie Prinze Jr.:
Jinkies gang, Fred made the list. Freddie Prinze Jr. was in Scooby Doo and I Know What You Did Last Summer. He appeared in a slew of romantic comedies and teen movies; but that's certainly not why he made the list. Freddie's video game credit is his work in Mass Effect 3. He voices James Vega, who worked along side Commander Shepard to save Earth from the Reapers.

- unit of current: Ampere (A)
- unit of charge: Colomb (C)
- unit of energy: Joule (J)
- unit of resistance: ohm ( )
- unit of time: Seconds (s)
- unit of voltage/ potential difference: volt (V)
- unit of power: watt (W)
electrical symbols
electrical hazards
There are lots of ways in which we can be electrocuted including:
- touching frayed electrical cables
- long or overheating cables
- damaging or incorrectly wired plugs
- allowing water or wet objects to enter plug sockets or touch frayed cables
- pushing metal objects into plug sockets
Electrical power
The power of an electrical appliance can be calculated from the current that lows through it and the potential difference across it.
power = current x voltage
P = I x V
P is the power in watts, W
I is the current in amperes (amps), A
V is the potential differences in volts, V
electrical energy
For a given amount of electrical charge that oves, the amount of energy transferred increases as the potential difference increases
calculating energy transferred:
energy = current x voltage x time
E= I x V x t
E is the energy transferred in joules, J
I is the current in amperes, A
V is the potential differences in volts, V
t is the time in seconds, S
cost of electricity
Electricity meters measure the number of units of electricity used in a home or other building. The more units used, the greater the cost. The cost of the electricity used is calculated using this equasion:
total cost = number of units x cost per unit
number of units used can be calculated using this equasion:
Units (kWh) = power (kW) x time (h)
total cost = power (kW) x time 9h) x cost per unit
charge and current
electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge. No current can flow if the circuit is broken- for example, when a switch is open.
An electric current flows when electrons move through a conductor, such as a metal wire. metals arre good conductors of electricity.
Electricity passes through metallic conductors as a flow of negatively charged electrons. The electrons are free to move from on atom to another. We call them a sea of delocalised electrons.
calculating current
The size of an electrical current shows the rate of flow of electrical charge. You can caluclate the size of a current using this equasion:
current in amps = charge in coulombs / time in seconds
I = Q / t
I is the current in amps, A
Q is the charge in coulombs, C
t is the time in seconds, S
Measuring potential difference (voltage) and curre
A potential difference across an electrical component is needed to make an electric current flow in it. Potential difference is often called voltage. it is also known as electromotive force.
Measuring potential difference
- measured in volts, V
- the potential difference across a component in a circuit is measured using a voltmeter
- a voltmeter mus be connected in parallel with the component
Measuring potential difference (voltage) and curre
Measuring current
- current is measured in amps
- the current flowing through a component in a circuit is measured using an ammeter
- the ammeter must be connected in series with the component

The Krueger-McHugh Debate: Theism or Atheism (2003)
Doug Krueger
Closing Statement by Doug Krueger
McHugh has failed to rebut my objections to his ontological argument.
For example, I challenged McHugh to show how his move from "statement t is true" to "there is an object t that is real" is justified. McHugh responds:
Necessary truths are either something or nothing. If they are something, then they have being. I cannot think of a possible world in which necessary truths, like A=A, do not exist.
But using a term in a true sentence does not prove the existence of the referent of the term. It's true that the sum of the angles of a perfect triangle is exactly 180 degrees, but this does not show that perfect triangles exist--it simply shows the rules of geometry. McHugh's attempt to show that other necessary beings exist doesn't hold up. His equating truth and existence claims requires some explanation, but none was forthcoming.
I also asked McHugh to clarify his statement: "metaphysical possibility is a species of real possibility." What is "metaphysical" and what is "real"? It's true that 'Ahab was a whaler,' but this doesn't show that Ahab exists. So what does McHugh mean by asserting that "truths" "have being"? He never clarified this.
McHugh's premise (6) is that a Godlike being has the property of "Not being a logical law, a number, a mathematical truth, a Platonic form or some other abstraction." It seems a question-begging way of making his Godlike being unique, and unless we know the criteria for what abstractions he's talking about, this premise is useless. I asked McHugh to clarify what he meant by "some other abstraction," but he didn't. His list of properties of a Godlike being is unworkable.
I have explained that McHugh's first premise "If there is a Godlike being, then there necessarily is such a being" is problematic. I cited R. L. Purtill's comment, which included: "...it seems unlikely that any plausible account of logical necessity would allow it to be dependent on existence."[1]
I had asked McHugh to explain what sort of necessity he is talking about in his argument. He responded that he is not defining god into existence and repeated part of his proof, but he didn't answer the question. His first premise not only lacks support, it's still counterintuitive to our usual notions of necessity.
McHugh's argument has other problems. McHugh says his ontological argument is one in which "there *is* a known way to prove the consistency of the concept of the being in question." Not with McHugh's proof. I pointed out that he must ascribe at least some positive properties to god, and McHugh wrote:
The purpose of the strictly negative partial definition is to show that (at least) the negative property of being Godlike is guaranteed to be consistent.
However, the being at the end of McHugh's proposed proof has properties in addition to the partial list, such as necessity, existence, and others. Where is the proof that all these attributes are consistent? There is no reason to suppose that because a partial list of attributes is consistent, that the whole concept is consistent, so his list doesn't demonstrate the consistency of the concept of god.
Furthermore, even the partial list's consistency was called into question. McHugh's Godlike being is "not deficient in any sense" but also "not spatiotemporal." Isn't lacking spatiotemporality a deficiency? McHugh's responded:
...a natural or spatiotemporal being is obviously deficient in some sense because it is conceivable that there is something that can destroy it. For example, a supernatural God that has absolute power over spacetime and the objects therein can destroy any spatiotemporal object.
McHugh assumes that it is a necessary condition for a thing x to be spatiotemporal that x can be destroyed. But why? It's not contradictory to imagine an indestructible spatiotemporal object. It is also not clear at all why we should assume that if an object is not spatiotemporal, then it would not be possible to be destroyed. In addition, a Godlike being who had spatiotemporality and who was not "deficient in any sense" could keep his spatiotemporal aspect from being destroyed. So it is false that having spatiotemporality would entail a deficiency. McHugh's list is defective.
I also pointed out that a nonspatiotemporal being cannot juggle, ride a bicycle, etc. Isn't that a deficiency?
McHugh replies:
A being that does not suffer any deficiencies has absolutely nothing to gain from engaging in common activities...Indeed, such activities as walking and bicycling imply that one is acting from a state of deficiency viz., that there is somewhere that one wants to be, but presently is not. God...does not need to travel (or change in any way) because nothing better could come of it. God's situation simply cannot be improved.
McHugh had stated that his concept of god was compatible with the statement "God is that on which the universe depends," but now that is not the case. If his defense against spatiotemporality is correct, then god, being perfect, could not gain anything by having a universe dependent on him. If he could, he would not be perfect to begin with. So McHugh's proof wouldn't prove the existence of a being that is the creator or sustainer of the universe. And if his god is only capable of doing things that he needs to do or that can improve himself, then since he needs nothing and cannot be improved, McHugh's god can do nothing. That sounds like he's deficient in some sense! McHugh's list of attributes is in trouble.
However, the issue is not whether a Godlike being would gain anything by performing spatiotemporal activities, but whether he has the capacity to do them. A being like McHugh's Godlike being but who can juggle, ride a bicycle, etc., could do more things than McHugh's being. How can McHugh's Godlike being be god if some other being could have more capabilities?
And is McHugh's list really only of negative properties? He had "non-finitude." Isn't that the positive property of being infinite?
I had also parodied McHugh's argument with the concept of a 'Godlike+' being, similar to McHugh's being, but with the property 'Is not that on which the universe depends.' Can't we "prove" the existence of many similar beings? McHugh claims that this is not a good objection because:
Relational properties, like 'being that on which the universe depends,' are not properties that determine the concept of the *nature* of God (or any other being), and so cannot be used as part of a definition of God.
His point is irrelevant. We are talking about two beings:
Godlike+ = a Godlike being that 'Is not that on which the universe depends.'
Godlike& = a Godlike being that 'Is that on which the universe depends.'
Since each has negative attributes--which McHugh argued are compatible--plus the "Godlike+" and "Godlike&" attributes separately, which are compatible as attributes for different beings, the existences of these two beings are logically compatible in the same universe, so we can "prove" multiple beings with McHugh's argument--a reduction to absurdity.
I also used the concept of "a noncontingent unicorn," which I called a "nunicorn," as a parody. I wrote: "...we could say of a nunicorn that it's existence is either logically impossible or logically necessary, just as McHugh asserts of his Godlike being. The basic structure of McHugh's argument would prove that a nunicorn exists."
McHugh responds:
...there is no known way to prove the consistency of such parody concepts...the concept of a nunicorn...has no such guarantee, and there is also good reason to think that it is incoherent for the same reasons given for the notion of a non-contingent island.
No "guarantee" is needed. We can imagine an eternal unicorn, and there is no reason to think the nunicorn concept is inconsistent. McHugh doesn't show that the concept is inconsistent, so the parody still works--another a reduction to absurdity.
I also asked McHugh to show how his list defines the Judeo-Xian-Islamic god and not the Tao, the Hindu concept of Brahman, the Buddhist concept of Nirvana, or still other concepts. He never addressed this.
Finally, I note in passing that McHugh misrepresents me as holding that "this mystical idea of God is foreign to the Judeo-Christian tradition." I said no such thing, but I did, rightly, characterize his mystical view of god as being in the minority among believers.
Because McHugh's ontological argument suffered from such severe problems as those above, I conclude that his argument has failed. And because McHugh, in a bizarre twist, stated that he "can concede Krueger's opening statement in its entirety" and has also failed to undermine my arguments, I am as confident as ever in my conclusion that there is no god. And, unlike McHugh, I appealed to straightforward, commonsensical principles to demonstrate my case. McHugh's "proof" had the air of sophistry, as do all ontological arguments. I think overall I had the better case. I have already cited Schopenhauer's remark that "considered by daylight...and without prejudice, this famous Ontological Proof is really a charming joke." I think McHugh's argument, with its suspect reasoning and obviously contrived way of characterizing god, has perhaps reinforced Schopenhauer's observation.

Various methods of propagation are discussed along with when each method would be preferred. Handy charts are included for determining which plants can be propagated in which ways, ideal temperatures for seed germination for various popular plants and common plant pests and diseases. I appreciated that the author includes not only products sold specifically for plants, but also includes many repurposed items that do the job just as well. Each propagation method is covered clearly along with illustrative photos. This would be an excellent resource for a gardener or houseplant enthusiast.Thank you to Timber Press and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

I just spent a most wonderful weekend learning and living to the Shaman's Drum. Shamanism is a practice that is known throughout the world and has been used by tribal communities since the beginning of time. The Shaman is a healer and a wisdom seeker. S/he journeys in a altered state of consciousness (what Michael Harner calls the Shamanic State of Consciousness) to seek the help of spirit guides and power animals, often on behalf of someone else and often for healing purposes. I took a basic shamanism course a few years ago in a place called The Edge-Northern Algonquin Park (www.shamanismcanada.com) which is absolutely fabulous. We learned how to contact our power animals, how to journey to the different shamanic 'worlds' and how to journey on the behalf of someone else. This past weekend, I took a more advanced 2-day workshop given by the Federation for Shamanic Studies on extraction healing, which is a method of removing energy intrusions that cause people harm. I met some amazing, amazing people there, all people who saw their place in the world as a place of healing and of spirit.
Shamanism is a great practice for those of us who struggle with multiple spiritual paths. The FSS teaches core shamanism and as such it is non-denominational. So, people of various spiritual/religious backgrounds can join together and do healing work without having to negotiate their beliefs too much. It is very much grounded into concrete, real-life work, which is nice for those of us who like to get our hands dirty. Also, it is a GREAT teaching tool to learn about energy, about trusting our inner voice and about connecting to the universe. I use the techniques I learned in many rituals and use journeying to talk to my Guides. The FSS gives courses throughout the world, so I strongly encourage you all to check this out. Courses schedules can be found at http://www.shamanism.org/workshops/ A good book is also Michael Harner's 'The Way of the Shaman'.

Now that production is in (forgive the pun) full swing on Spider-Man: Homecoming, the casting announcements have moved from slow trickle to avalanche. The cast seems to grow larger by the day as Marvel releases the names of actors joining the ranks of the first MCU backed Spider-Man film. Just yesterday, it was announced that Michael Mando would be joining Abraham Attah, Hannibal Burress, Martin Starr, Logan Marshall-Green, Donald Glover, and Michael Keaton in Tom Holland's first solo outing as the famous web-slinger.
Given that it's a day that ends in Y, it's almost fitting that yet another name was announced today to the ever-growing roster of actors set to bring Peter Parker into the MCU fold.
THR is confirming that Bokeem Woodbine (Fargo) has been cast in the upcoming film, which is being directed by Jon Watts (Cop Car). Though Marvel is so far remaining mum on who the actor will be portraying, Woodbine is said to be joining Keaton and Marshall-Green as an antagonist for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
While Woodbine brings with him some remarkable chops, news of another villain may spark a few flashbacks for nervous Spider-Man fans, many of whom still have bad memories of movies like Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, both which suffered from an overstuffed roster of villains, keeping each movie from reaching their potential.
Despite being touted as a villain, that doesn't necessarily mean that Spidey will be set against a trio of major baddies when he crawls his way back into theaters next year. This late stage announcement, if anything, should be seen as indication that Woodbine will be playing a secondary villain to Keaton's main antagonist, popularly rumored to be The Vulture. This could mean anything from henchman to the film's big bad, to a minor villain that Spider-Man faces early on in his larger journey against The Vulture (or whoever it is that Keaton is playing).
Still, any bad taste that may still be lingering in the mouths of fans is largely overshadowed by the excitement in knowing that Spider-Man is finally being introduced into the MCU. His initial appearance in Captain America: Civil War was seen as a film stealing moment that only whetted the appetites of fans for what was to come as Marvel begins to control the direction of the character as they see fit.
That alone represents a coup for Marvel Studios, who for years had to contend with Sony having full control of the character's cinematic appearances, which existed outside of the MCU. That Marvel and Sony were able to come to an agreement allowing Marvel to retain some of the controlling rights to the character is indicative of the success they've had as a film studio, where they've gone from upstart newcomers to billion-dollar empire in just eight short years.
For now, all we can really do is, well, marvel at the fact that so many talented actors are coming on board. Woodbine is in good company, and he's certain to hold his own amidst the sea of talent that is now working to bring Spider-Man to life in a way that's fitting for the character and pleasing to fans. There's sure to be more information coming soon about who Woodbine is portraying, and we'll of course keep you updated on that, and all Spider-Man: Homecoming news as it develops.
NEXT: Sony Confirms Marvel Has Creative Lead of Spider-Man
Captain America: Civil War is in theaters now. Doctor Strange opens November 4, 2016; Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 – May 5, 2017; Spider-Man: Homecoming – July 7, 2017; Thor: Ragnarok – November 3, 2017; Black Panther – February 16, 2018; Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 – May 4, 2018; Ant-Man and the Wasp – July 6, 2018; Captain Marvel – March 8, 2019; Avengers: Infinity War Part 2 – May 3, 2019; and as-yet untitled Marvel movies on July 12, 2019, and on May 1, July 10, and November 6 in 2020.

EastEnders bosses are hoping to lure back Nick Berry and Michael French for Pat Evans's departure storyline, a report has claimed.
The pair, who played Simon Wicks and David Wicks respectively, are being lined up to return to Albert Square later this year as part of a plotline that will see their mum Pat pass away, according to The Sun.
Yesterday, it emerged that Pat will be killed off at Christmas following Pam St Clement's recent decision to bow out from her iconic role.
It is thought that show chiefs now want Simon and David back in Walford for the story to ensure that Pat gets a send-off to remember.
An EastEnders source told the newspaper: "Producers are working flat-out to get Nick and Michael on board. Nick hasn't done any major TV work for the best part of a decade. To get him back into Albert Square would be a major coup."
However, an EastEnders spokesperson declined to comment on the claims, telling Digital Spy this morning: "There has been a lot of speculation surrounding Pat's departure, however we are not going to comment on rumours at this stage as we don't want to spoil the storyline for viewers."
Berry played the role of Wicksy between 1985 and 1990. Meanwhile, French appeared on screens as David between 1993 and 1996 and now stars in Casualty.
Bianca (Patsy Palmer) and Ricky Butcher (Sid Owen) are also expected to be back on screen in time for Pat's departure.

As a brand new school mum, I've recently discovered that schools have assumed the role of the Lunch Box Police. Every morning tea and lunch is a test to see if kids and their parents have faithfully followed the laws of healthy eating.
It's a nice idea, but it's questionable whether this has anything to do with health. In fact, in the quest to promote nutrition, schools may unintentionally be damaging kids' relationship with food.
One school in Brisbane is so strict that the children have to show their lunch boxes to the class each morning. I know of one child who is so anxious about having 'bad' food in his lunchbox that he doesn't want to go to school.
Another school in Melbourne's eastern suburbs was conducting food inspections at the school gate, prohibiting 'junk food' from entering the school grounds. Some enterprising pre-teens had an early lesson in supply and demand and realised that prohibition is a golden marketing opportunity. They started a black market trafficking doughnuts behind the school shed.

Call us today for your FREE Cleaning Audit! 623-776-1534
We use hot water extraction, most commonly referred to as steam cleaning. We use the big truck mount cleaning systems that heat the water to 180+F. The water that we use is always 100% filtered soft water to leave your carpet feeling fresh and fluffy, not crunchy.
If for whatever reason you are not completely satisfied with the work that has been performed, just call the office. We will come out and do whatever needs done to resolve the issues. We strive to make sure that we do the job right the first time but we are only human and mistakes can happen. We will never shy away from trying to make everything just right for you.
Absolutely! The product that we use for carpet and upholstery cleaning is a certified green clean product that is soap free, dye free, hypo allergenic and safe for pets and baby.
We absolutely, positively cannot give pricing information over the phone. Why? Well, there are numerous reasons. We charge by the square foot, not by the room. That means you only pay for the actual area we clean. That means we need to measure the rooms being cleaned. Are we doing the entire room or just walkways? Are we moving furniture? We also need to see the level of soiling. Are there stains that will need special attention? How worn are the traffic areas? Are there certain areas that are of special concern to you?
We'll make all of these observations during our FREE cleaning audit. Not only will we gather the information we need to give you an accurate price but we'll also give you a realistic expectation as to what we can and can't do. It also helps us determine what equipment to bring and how long the job will take. We'll leave you with your written quote, locking in your price for 6 months.
No you do not have to vacuum the floors. We pre vacuum before we start cleaning. If you think about it, it's much easier to get dirt out of the carpet instead of mud so we want to make sure we have as much dirt out as possible before we start the cleaning process.
We can move most furniture. When we come out to give you the FREE cleaning audit we'll go room by room with you and ask what you want moved and what you don't. We will not move large items such as pianos or grandfather clocks. We also won't move electronics like stereos or computers.
Average dry time in Arizona is between 4-6 hours. This will fluctuate depending on humidity and the amount of air flow in the home. We will turn on ceiling fans in any of the rooms we clean. If weather conditions are right, opening windows and doors will also speed up dry time. Running the air conditioner can speed up the drying process by pulling the humidity out of the air.
That can be true if you have someone that doesn't know what they are doing or uses the wrong products. Companies that charge a low per room price have to use cheaper products that contain more soap. More soap means more suds. More suds can plug vacuum lines, leaving a residue in your carpet. This residue will attract dirt, causing your carpets to re-soil more quickly. The cleaning methods we use, coupled with a soap free, certified green clean product will not leave a residue so your carpets stay clean longer.
Here in Arizona with the amount of dust, pollution, smog and other air born contaminates you really shouldn't go over 1 year without professional cleaning. Some people might need to have it done every 6-9 months depending on the amount of traffic in the house such as kids and pets. Carpet acts like a big air filter so in order to maintain the air quality in your home, you need to have your carpets professionally cleaned on a regular basis. We always clean for health first and appearance second.
Yes, the warranty on your carpet states that the carpets need to be cleaned every 12-18 months by an IICRC certified company like Lack's Cleaning Service.
Yes. Your carpet acts like a huge air filter, it needs regular maintenance to work properly. Some people believe that carpet is bad for people that have allergies but it's actually very helpful if maintained properly. Hard surface flooring doesn't trap things like dust or pet hair. When the kids and dogs run through the house they stir all that up, causing it to go into the air and into your lungs. Carpet will actually catch those particles and keep them from becoming airborne. Proper vacuuming and cleaning will also help to keep allergies down.
A good carpet protector will reinforce the protectant applied in the factory. Spills will actually be easier to remove. Vacuuming will be much more effective. Most importantly, your carpets will look better for much longer then with the original protectant alone.
Yes. Over time, foot traffic causes soil to become ground in and trapped in your carpets fiber. To the naked eye, dirt has a smooth look to it. But if you look at it under a microscope, soil is actually an abrasive with sharp, jagged edges. All of the soil acts like tiny saws, cutting into the protector, exposing and damaging the delicate fibers. Now exposed, spills and soil can penetrate deep into the heart of your carpet. This causes your carpet to "ugly out" faster. It can also expose the fibers to the possibility of permanent staining, eventually leading it to wear out. That's why it is so important to apply protector; to protect the investment in your home.
Sorry, no. Not all stains can be removed, but be assured that we will do everything in our power to try and remove them before we say they are permanent.
Usually. Spots that disappear with cleaning but then reappear in a few days usually means there is some residue leftover from a cleaner or spot remover that was used previously. If we clean and a spot does happen to come back, please don't panic or get upset. Give us a call and we'll come back out for free and retreat that spot. If theres a lot of residue left in the carpet it may take several tries to remove the spot.
Yes. All of our employees go through a thorough background check and drug testing. They are not allowed out on a truck by themselves until they have passed all training courses and we feel they are able to handle things on their own.

SELLER: Ascend
BUYER(S): BNP Media (17-title Professional Services Division, including Stagnito Communications); AEGIS Communications (four-title Dental Group); Red 7 Media (EXPO)
PRICE: Professional Services ($30 million est.); EXPO ($N/A); Dental Group ($N/A)
DATE(S): August 31 (Professional Services); November 11 (EXPO); December 31, 2008 (Dental Group)
TAKEAWAY: Ascend Media's implosion, driven by the sale of two divisions, the shuttering of three titles and the likely divestment of the rest of its healthcare division, led to the sacking of its CEO and founder Cam Bishop-and to a cautionary tale for private equity-backed publishers everywhere.
It was a year of dramatic restructuring-and divesting-at Ascend Media, the Overland, Kansas-based publisher that saw its stature-and revenues-skyrocket when it bought Medical World Communications for $130 million in 2004.
Then, the company had expected revenues to be around $150 million. This year, though, medical media- hit hard by a drought in new drugs not hitting the market-has taken a pounding. In August, the company completed the sale of its 17-title Professional Services, a division representing about 25 percent of the company's revenue, to BNP Media. Then-CEO Cam Bishop said it no longer fit with Ascend's strategic direction. "We are divesting our nonmedical and non-healthcare assets to focus exclusively on medical and healthcare," he said. In November, the four-title dental group was put on the block. Dental Product Shopper was sold to founder and publisher David Branch, while the remaining four (Compendium of Continuing Education in Dentistry, Contemporary Aesthetics, Contemporary Dental Assisting, and Contemporary Oral Hygiene) went to AEGIS Communications. In December, it closed three of its medical journals Physician's Money Digest, Family Practice Recertification and Internal Medicine World-with the likely divestment of the rest of its healthcare group coming in early 2008.
"There is always this media assumption that buying is good and selling is bad," Bishop told FOLIO: at the time. "Sometimes it's neither and sometimes it's the opposite. Companies shift portfolios to maximize strategic alignment, opportunity and gain-the big picture for Ascend is no different than any other private equity-backed media business." In December, Bishop, Ascend's founder and CEO, was ousted by Ascend's private equity backers. Vicki Masseria, a former group president at CMP Medica, replaced him.
"When you're doing well, private equity loves you," one executive told FOLIO: at the time of Bishop's departure. "When things aren't going well, they hate you."
When the dust settles in Overland Park, Ascend will be left with the 14-magazine allied Healthcare division, a Practice Builders consulting business, a continuing medical education business and a custom communications unit-and $70 million in revenue.
COMMENTS: "It was very poor due diligence in understanding what they bought [in Medical World] … they had a Waterloo experience with the Medical World deal, and they could never quite dig themselves out of it."

Emily Roper è una fotografa neozelandese che ha scritto a DATE*HUB e da subito ci è sembrata una ragazza talentuosa. Di solito chi si avvicina alla fotografia si districa tra vari stili, inquadrature, esercizi di stile. Tra modelle che sembrano uscite da un pic-nic del 1965 e musicisti il più delle volte sospesi in un bianco e nero evocativo, le foto che Emily ci ha spedito per presentarsi ci hanno colpito proprio per questo: hanno una sincerità d'animo pura, si nota subito che nascondono pochissima "costruzione" (al massimo un'acconciatura azzeccata) e nascono direttamente da quella parte di corpo (cuore, anima, chiamatela come volete) che molti fotografi scordano di avere, persi dietro set milionari o donnine nude con sfondi bianchi che non accecano più. Emily è sincera e si vede, e per questo ci sono piaciute le sue fotografie.
Emily stessa ci racconta il suo rapporto con i musicisti che ha avuto l'occasione di ritrarre…
I love the excitement of photographing live music performances. There's something about the atmosphere, and also the emotion involved in a live performance that I love to capture. It's like I'm capturing these musicians at their most vulnerable moments, a lot of truth of their personality is exposed while they're performing.
Kelsey Lawn is an artist that I discovered purely by chance, and I am so glad that I found her! This girl is extraordinary, not just because her voice is beautiful but she has so much talent in song writing as well. We are planning to create a music video together one day in the not-so-distant future, so stay tuned…
Miles Calder was playing alongside Ali at a recent gig here in Wellington. Keep an eye out for that name – trust me, this guy is going places!
I first discovered Ali Whitton (AKA "Lost Bird") about two years ago when my sister took me along to one of his gigs. I was so blown away by his music that I ended up hounding him at the end of his set to let me make him a music video. He's one person who I click with so well creatively, and we've now worked on a few different projects together.
E, com'è d'uopo, ecco una biografia di Emily, ovviamente in lingua madre: Emily Roper is based in Wellington, New Zealand. Photography has always been a part of her life, starting with her upbringing in rural New Zealand with a father who was a photographer, through to her training at the New Zealand Broadcasting School in film and television production. It was during this time that her sense for the still image was sharpened, and she became increasingly passionate about the possibilities of capturing a whole story in a single frame. She has now been working professionally as a photographer/video artist for a year through her business "Clipic".
Her personality shows in her work, with a colourful and often quirky style which is reflected in her images. Influenced by her background in moving image, she loves to manipulate her ability to bring time to a standstill in her photographs, often echoing movement and a 3-dimensional look in her work. Depth of field is always present in her photography, as she plays with the focus and aperture settings to capture the most intriguing and candid qualities of the subject.

Birmingham has some of the most fun and interesting places to visit that will please even the pickiest traveler. For those staying at the affordable Hampton Inn & Suites- Downtown-Tutwiler, McWane Science Center, Birmingham Museum of Art, and Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame are all excellent places for family entertainment.
Sheraton Birmingham and SpringHill Suites Birmingham Downtown at UAB also offer clean, comfortable, budget-friendly guest rooms close to attractions including the Southern Museum of Flight.
The best time to visit The Magic City is definitely in spring, during March and April. Winter in Birmingham is mild, so that's also a delightful time to visit, but the summers can get very hot and humid. Fall doesn't produce a lot of color since Birmingham doesn't have that high an elevation, but for about two weeks in March, the dogwoods and azaleas are in bloom and will delight the soul of every visitor.
The first thing to consider when shopping for a great deal on a fine hotel is to be flexible about the dates you want to visit. Quite often, prices drop during off-peak times, or specials are run to bring in customers.
The Internet is also an excellent resource for comparing listed prices. Shop around and compare, and then contact the hotel and see if one you really want will match the price of a competitor offering a better rate.
Look for hidden discounts at your disposal. Being a member of AARP, AAA, or the American Bar Association, or even the military, might entitle you to discounts. Ask when you make reservations. Also, look for discount codes on websites.
Finally, contact certain hotels and ask if they have any specials. Comfort Suites, Courtyard by Marriott Birmingham Trussville, and Americas Best Value Inn often have deals, or will match rates with similar hotel chains.
There are generally well over 100 possible rental options in Birmingham via Airbnb. They vary from single rooms to houses and apartments. The costs are generally cheaper than hotel rates, particularly for houses and flats. There also many centrally located rental properties available, and in some beautiful areas. Check online listings for some truly great deals and offers.
There are several excellent hotels within a few miles of Birmingham Airport. Clarion Hotel Birmingham is just a mile away. Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport is 1.3 miles from the airport, and America's Best Inn Birmingham Airport is just a mile-and-a-half away. Each offer free shuttle services to and from the airport.
Birmingham Airport offers many car rental options, including Budget, Alamo, Avis, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, and Thrifty Car Rental. Shuttle services, taxis, and local bus transportation are also available from the Birmingham Airport.
Don't miss a fireworks show at Vulcan (Birmingham's patron god) – the statue that overlooks downtown. Drop by Church Street Coffee and Books for a cup and a good book. These and other local activities are close by beautiful hotels at equally attractive rates.

I have probably written about the spacing problem before, but the one-space versus two-space debate keeps coming back, and here is why.
In print publishing, variable-width fonts have always been used. Variable-width fonts do not require an additional space to enhance readability at the end of the sentence. The standard in print publishing has always been no extra space after a sentence.
Meanwhile, in the business world, when typewriters were first invented, they had only single-width fonts, like Courier, in which every letter had the same width assigned to it as every other. That means the narrow letter i receives the same width as the wide letter o. When the lettering is spaced like that, and the period at the end of a sentence is also spaced like that, it becomes difficult to notice the end of a sentence without an extra space. So double-spacing after a period was invented along with the typewriter.
From about 1870 to 1980, from the invention of the typewriter to the invention of the IBM PC, typing teachers rigorously taught every student to put two spaces after the period at the end of a sentence. They taught it with such certitude and vigor that students of those teachers can barely imagine not double-spacing after a period. Double-spacing was the standard in business typing for more than 100 years. Many of today's managers and directors come from this typewriter-based background and experience. These managers usually insist on the double spacing.
Two worlds collide
Soon after the IBM PC was invented in 1980, every business person had on their desk a word processor with variable-spaced fonts just like print publishing. The habit of double spacing should have instantly disappeared. But the aforementioned typing teachers and their students simply transferred their typewriter skills to the computer, and the conundrum of one space versus two was born.
So what do we do?
One space is the right answer. But the practical answer is, if you can't convince your manager or director to go with one space, go ahead and use two.

I am always amazed at the interesting way the spirit world will influence events. During October, 2011 the full moon was particularly bright. I was visiting family who were vacationing at the beach. It was late one evening and we decided to walk on the beach.
We discovered to our dismay earlier in the evening, dead fish from a recent red tide had arrived on shore. It was amazing to see not only the smaller fish, but many large fish weighing in at 30 plus pounds lying in the sand for miles in both directions.
After a hour or so we decided to go into the cabin for the evening, but I heard a "small...
We always start our focus or meditation session with a deep breathing exercise, then a Prayer of protection. We then ask for intelligent energies from the unseen universe to assist us with any types of physical phenomenon. During the last few months, we experienced taps on the walls, furniture, fast moving orbs of light, flickering lights, hymnal messages, missing time, plus experiencing time shifts.
One of the powerful messages was received on Wednesday, April 6, 2011. We asked for a hymnal message and received one from J.H. Newman, "Lead, Kindly Light." We ponder the message and were not clear on its meaning.
I really enjoy the oddities of my life. Earlier this summer, I began the work of updating and reworking my web site. It was not something I had planned but so many unusual events started happening which led me in that direction. The following is an example.
Florida summers bring out the bugs. I had just gone outside to find the cat when I was stung by a large angry hornet. Apparently, I had passed his nest several times and on my last pass he hit me twice with full venom.
Normally, this would not be a problem but today I had an instant allergic reaction. Since, it was early in the morning, my husband, an Navy man was still in bed. I tried to get his help but he thought it was not serious.
The story eventually had a happy ending, but I was told next time I was...
Several days ago, I received an email from SB. His much beloved wife had past away last year. Since then he has experienced many types of wonderful communication from the other side.
His communication have included all the five senses - sight, sound, smell, touch, and sensing. SB has discovered that each time a communication happens it corresponded to something significant. He mentioned in his email that he enjoyed a kiss soon after his wife's death.
Another significant communication was his phone ringing a special tone that was not preprogrammed in.
It would not surprise me that in the future due to all the increased energy SB is working with that he will have even more communications.
The world of spirit...
KitKat where are you? This has been a question I have asked many times in the past few weeks. Our furry boy left suddenly with no trace. Today, he walked into my dream world. His presence was so clear that I immediately got up and went outside half expecting to see him sitting on the ground near the back gate.
The other cats and our dog ran outside to the exact location I saw in my vision. Apparently, they saw his spirit form still warming the spot.
He was healthy, furry and clean. I may not know the exact details of what happen the day he left, but I know he has made it to the world of spirit and can control his movements between worlds.
There is no doubt that humans need to know what happens to our loved ones. We need that confirmation that all is well whether it was our family member or a much loved animal....

Sports News of Tuesday, 11 September 2018
Source: footballghana.com
According to reports, Empoli will improve the contract of Ghana midfielder Afriyie Acquah and seven others a new deal as the club hope to tie down their brightest asserts.
The 26-year-old has hit the grounds running after joining the Blues on loan from Torino in the summer.
The length of his current contract which ends in June 2019 is a source of worry for the decision-makers of the Serie A outfit who are already considering making a significant new offer.
The energetic middleman earns around 500 thousand euro per season, an agreement that will be discussed again very soon if he continues to impress.
Acquah was named in the Serie A Team of the Week for matchday one following his jaw-dropping performance for Empoli in their win over Cagliari.

Certification Program
The Certification Program was begun in the fall of 1993 to provide educational opportunities to planning and zoning board of appeals members. This program is comprised of three, 3 hour long courses, and the seminars are held on different nights. These courses were designed to provide new board members with the basic information necessary to be able to participate in the board meetings. Topics of discussion cover fundamental information that all board members should know, as well as advanced information that seasoned board members could benefit from.
- Session I topics include: the law creating the boards, roles of the different players, board member responsibilities, and their limitations;
- Session II topics focus on the update of case law, State Environmental Quality Review Act case law, and discussions on State Law that may impact planning or zoning related issues – and the implications of some of these decisions;
- Session III consists of two simultaneous sessions – one that focuses on planning board related issues, such as comprehensive plans, site plans and map interpretation, subdivision review, cluster development, special permits, the State Environmental Quality Review Act – and the other on zoning board related issues, such as area variances, use variances, and special permits.
Each planning board and zoning board of appeals member is required to attend each course once to become certified, and then every other year, they must attend Session II, the "Update of Case Law," to become re-certified. These courses also count towards the State-mandated, four-hour annual yearly requirement that planning and zoning board members must attend.
Since the program has begun, 749 people have become certified, and 1,328 have been re-certified. The board members and other participants that were certified this past year can be found below.

I recently participated in a SharePoint community hackathon hosted by EUSP and sponsored by CloudShare. We were tasked with creating a media solution that manages both local videos and YouTube videos in a SharePoint environment. Let us take some time to walk through my submission entry in detail.
I would be remiss if I didn't ask for your vote. PLEASE VOTE HERE by Friday 05/25/2012 Midnight EST: http://poll.pollcode.com/09l7
I took a bold position with my solution. I decided to showcase the power of configuration over customization. I focused my efforts on sandbox packaging for deployment ease. I decided to drink the Microsoft Kool-Aid and thought hard about how the platform is already equipped to handle the given challenge. I started with the basic assumption that the SharePoint platform itself is satisfactory.
My solution is inspired from an Asset library which ships with content types for Image, Audio and Video. I decided to create a custom list definition schema based upon the asset library that only contains an inherited Video content type. This content is being used to store local videos in the 'Media Library'
SharePoint additionally ships with a lesser known content type called 'Link to a Document'. An inherited version of this content type is being used to store links to YouTube videos within the same Media Library thus grossly simplifying the underlying storage mechanism
The simplified storage mechanism allows the solution to leverage SharePoint's in-built upload mechanisms for both types of content. The intended use case is to use the Media Library's 'New Document' drop downs to allow for content type selection during uploads
The 'YouTube Video' content type simply uses a standard URL column to store both the hyperlink and the title of the video
The 'Local Video' content type uses a standard document upload process to transfer videos from the user's local drive. After the upload the content type tracks various standard properties for the local video such as keywords, preview image and much more
Now that we are able to capture both local and YouTube videos, the challenge becomes one of integrating and simplifying the user experience for viewing these media. The asset library out of the box uses a Silverlight player for video assets which can be invoked by hovering over a video and clicking the 'Play' link. In an effort to simplify and unify the user experience, the solution rips out the hover functionality and the Silverlight player by modifying the list view XSL. Instead, a clickable 'Play' icon is overlaid on top of the video preview thumbnails to allow for quicker access to the media.
Clicking on the play icon overlay launches a standard SharePoint modal popup which does one of two things. For the YouTube videos, the modal displays the YouTube embed page which is instructed to auto play using query string parameters. For local videos, the modal passes the video URL as a query string to a custom page which leverages a 3rd party HTML5 media player to display the local video. The 3rd party player chosen for this application is an open source player called VideoJS which is available with a YouTube skin. This skin choice unifies the user experience while the player choice increases browser compatibility.
Lessons Learnt
I realize my solution is bold. I realized that going in. Let's face it, it is a glorified list definition at the end of the day. One that successfully solves the challenge albeit but it is still a somewhat rudimentary solution compared to some of the more complex entries by the other contestants. What surprised me though is the strong reaction to the UI. I think my solution is simple which lends it the sort of elegance that solution architects tend to crave. However, I learnt (yet again) two very important lessons
- Presentation matters: Think Zune vs. iPod. Similar functionality but one sold millions while the other was trashed by millions. Form is supposed to follow function but it's not always automatic.
- SharePoint UI is bleh: Our own baby is the cutest thing regardless of how ugly it may actually be to an objective observer. As SharePoint consultants we tend to start thinking of the standard UI as 'usable' and perhaps even 'beautiful'. Show the same to someone outside the industry and they will gladly burst your bubble.
