More private schools that offer run-of-the-mill degrees are expected to exit as new measures to tighten the quality of the sector take effect.
Those that remain will most likely be the more established ones that offer relevant courses and continue to be more viable as businesses, or niche players that plug gaps in the market, said observers.
Bigger players such as SIM Global Education, Kaplan, Management Development Institute of Singapore and PSB Academy said the new regulations are a step towards greater transparency, academic quality and accountability to students.
Mr Lee Kwok Cheong, president of the Singapore Association for Private Education, said the number of private schools has declined in the last few years - a trend that looks to continue with the new rules.
There are now 291 private education institutions (PEIs), compared with about 1,000 in 2009.
• Private schools that offer degree programmes will need to take part in a yearly graduate employment survey administered by the Committee for Private Education (CPE).
• Such schools, and those offering other programmes like diplomas that lead directly to degrees, must also obtain a four-year EduTrust certification. Existing schools that offer such programmes and do not have this award must apply for it by next June and attain it by June 2018.
• Fresh school-leavers joining private schools will need to meet minimum entry requirements. For instance, those applying for degree programmes must have at least an A-level certificate, a polytechnic diploma or a qualification that provides direct entry.
• To ensure that new schools are properly resourced, a minimum paid-up capital of $100,000 will be required of them with immediate effect.
Existing schools also need to show that their finances are healthy by meeting credit-rating benchmarks by June next year.
• From now, only schools which have at least a four-year registration period with CPE can apply for the EduTrust mark. Currently there are no such restrictions.

"There are already requirements, but it is quite clear that the new policies go a step further - focusing on raising the minimum standards for admission, financial strength and capability of PEIs," said Mr Lee.
Ms Denise Phua, who heads the Government Parliamentary Committee for Education, said: "These measures will boost public confidence in PEIs and help to dispel the perception that PEIs are inferior to public education institutions."
National Institute of Education don Jason Tan said smaller players that may not have the financial resources or do not have links to reputable overseas universities would be most affected.
"Those that offer generic business degrees may also lose out in a competitive market," he added.
Mr Lee said private schools must also see themselves as part of the SkillsFuture journey - a national drive to encourage Singaporeans to take up job-oriented skills. For instance, small players must "focus on a niche and be good at it".
Ms Phua said: "As the private education market continues to further consolidate, market forces will influence more PEIs to be even more sensitive to the gaps for training for jobs of the future. As long as the offerings are relevant and in demand, there is always a place for small boutique quality PEIs."
The new rules come at a time of falling private student numbers due to the expansion of local universities and fewer work opportunities for foreign students. There were 77,000 local students and 29,000 foreigners in private schools last year, compared with about 100,000 local students and about 35,000 foreigners four years ago.
The changes will lead to higher course fees at at least one private school here. Aventis School of Management, which is preparing to submit its EduTrust application by the year end, said its course fees are "expected to increase... due to higher operating cost in administering the EduTrust framework".
About 60 per cent of its over 300 students are on degree programmes. The school's director, Ms Joyce Chew, called for more funding to support PEIs. "This will allow us to keep our course fees affordable," she said.

Big birthday bashes are nothing new in the celebrity world – but they do seem to be taking on a life of their own these days.
Take Nick Jonas' 16th birthday party in September. He and his brothers, Kevin and Joe, rented Dodgers Stadium to the tune of $30,000 for a couple of hours Sept. 16. If you don't know who the Jonas' Brothers are, you obviously don't have a preteen or teenaged girl.
So, what did they do with their 2 1/2 hours all alone in the stadium? They didn't put on a concert, that's fore sure. Instead, they played baseball with 15 of their closest friends. That's right. No one knows what the final score was, but they did score some new sneakers, bats, balls and gloves at the Big 5 Sporting Goods in Beverly Hills before heading to park. This birthday soiree pales in comparison to Miley Cyrus's birthday in October. The daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley co-stars with dad on Hannah Montana.
Her Sweet 16 was an over the top celebration at Disneyland. The park closed early for a wild night that included a performance by Miley, fireworks and 16 giant inflatable candles around the castle. Five thousand guests attended, paying $250 per ticket to party it up with Hannah, uh, Miley and dad.
Many the rides stayed open especially for the party, including Big Thunder Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean. Partiers could also get a Hannah Montana makeover. Who attends a $250 a head Sweet 16 birthday at Disneyland? American Idol runner- up David Archuleta was there, along with Jennie Garth of 90210 fame. Cindy Crawford, Steve Carrell, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Tyra Banks and Heather Locklear were also spotted.
Want to be like Miley in 2009? While you can't rent the entire theme park for your birthday, you can come close. Throughout 2009, birthday boys and girls of any age get into the Disneyland or Walt Disney World park of their choice for free. All you need is valid ID that shows your birthday. For the little ones, that would be a birth certificate or passport. For the older set, a driver's license will do.
So, what did Miley get for her birthday? A Hannah Montana makeover? A new car? The Jonas Brothers? Nope. Her parents gave her a puppy.
Youth Service America also received a wonderful gift for Miley's birthday. The organization was given a special gift of $1 million on behalf of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, which was part of the proceeds raised through ticket sales to the event.

Reflective Report
Reflective Report
1.0 Introduction
Conducting a research to do an essay requires proper planning including time management and financial planning. A student needs to plan properly to balance the time required for doing other coursework activities and completing the essay assignments given by the instructor. The planning process requires allocating the needed sources of information to use for the assignment and wisely consulting other people including students and supervisors as well as friends. Therefore, this report will provide a reflection on how I completed my two essay assignments that I was previously given in class including what I did right and what I failed to do right.
2.0 Thematic Independent Studies
2.1 Attending Tutorials
I attended tutorial classes that were offered privately by the lecturer. The classes were effective in providing directions on how the task was to be done. The supervisor discussed the prose of the theme and gave a direction on how to complete the assignment. More so, the instructor created a mind map that was to be used by students in guiding them when doing the work. To add, the tutorial classes were designed considering the problems that the students had in understanding the course content (Savery, 2015, p9). The teachings were generated in relation to the groups needs, capabilities, and abilities. Hence, the classes helped me in understanding the requirements of the assignment
2.2 Asking TIS Supervisor for Support
Apart from the tutorial classes that were offered after classes, I contacted the course supervisor for support. I went to the instructor after identifying the areas that I had problems in so that the process takes a short time as possible to allocate the remaining time for other activities including going to the school's computer room for further research. The course lecturer explained to me the various concepts that I needed to include in the assignment and where to obtain the information. The role of the supervisor is to design the curriculum including the course objective. Therefore, by consulting, the instructor gave me an in depth understanding of the course requirement so that I do not cover things that are outside the course content.
2.3 Discussion Groups
We formed discussion groups after classes to solve problems that we had in our studies. The group comprised of various students with different knowledge on the subjects. The group was intended to solve any problem that was raised by its members. More so, I got an opportunity to access various resources for completing the assignment because I could borrow the materials from the group members then return later. Hence, the group discussions helped me in completing the two essays effectively.
2.4 Seeking Support from My Parents and Friends

Every health junkie knows that turmeric is good for us. But how can we have it more often than drinking an expensive almond milk turmeric latte? I have an answer for you. This amazingly beautiful, pleasantly chewy, and most importantly easy af turmeric rice will help you to eat more of this super healthy spice every day!
I haven't caught any cold yet *knocking on my wood table* this winter and I think the secret is this rice. I have been cooking this rice for few months now and everytime I can't stop eating it directly out from the pot. It's THAT good! What I love about this rice is that it also makes your dinner table a bit more colorful with this naturally bright yellow glow.
But don't worry! This rice won't have raw and strong turmeric taste. Once you open the lid of the pot you will have a touch of lovely earthy aroma in your kitchen. And here's how to make this turmeric rice:
Ingredients – for 4 persons
Brown rice 300g
1 tsp Turmeric powder
1/2 tsp salt
a pinch of black pepper
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
How to make it
- Prepare your rice and wash it well (at least twice) till you don't see any mirky water.
- Add same amount of water as the rice (1:1 ratio) with turmeric powder, salt, pepper and olive oil.
- Put the rice into a pressure cooker (or an instant pot) and cook it on a high pressure for exactly 15mins. Once 15mins is passed, turn off the fire and leave it for 5-7mins more. Don't let the steam out!
- Then open the lid, mix the rice well and enjoy! 🙂
We made bibimbap with the rice and it was just perfect for a cold winter day.
Wish you a joyful and healthy cooking day! 🙂

Alpaca manure
I have a truck load of alpaca manure, it's not real fresh. Can I plant my vegetables directly in it or do I need to mix it in to the soil. I'm planting 25 gallon containers. I've heard alpaca is very mild but great for vegetables.
Lucky you! Alpaca manure is great for the garden and does not need a composted before use.

A racist Trump supporter who couldn't hack it as a police officer is calling for right-wing militia members, former police officers, and military veterans to grab their guns and come to Cleveland to shoot any black people they find protesting at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next month.
"I am encouraging patriots and Trump supporters and those that support liberty and freedom to come lawfully armed with lethal and non-lethal weaponry," Jim Stachowiak declared in a video directed at "lone wolf patriots."
Stachowiak was booted out of the police force for misconduct after only three years on the job, yet he thinks he is capable of patrolling the outside of the GOP convention as a pretend law enforcement official.
After slandering the Black Lives Matter movement by claiming that the group has issued death threats aimed at Donald Trump, Stachowiak called for armed volunteers to join him at the convention to intimidate and even kill black protesters
"They have threatened to cause riots in Cleveland and nationwide," he said. "It is our sworn duty and obligation for all those like me and many of you who have taken the oath to defend this country against all enemies foreign and domestic."
Then he repeated Donald Trump's suggestion that President Obama is a terrorist sympathizer and urged "patriots" to use their Second Amendment against Black Lives Matter members, whom he also referred to as domestic terrorists.
"We should answer the call with our Second Amendment. Yes, I'm encouraging patriots to come prepared to defend this nation against a domestic terrorist organization supported by the terrorist in the White House, Obama…Come prepared, because this may spark another revolution. It won't be decided if that spark turns into a bonfire by we who love liberty, for we will defend, not attack. We won't act, but we will react."
Here's the video via YouTube.
Stachowiak is nothing more than a right-wing terrorist trying to organize another Bundy-style standoff that he hopes will turn into some kind of bloody revolution. Gun nuts like him are the reason why we need serious gun restrictions in this country. If anybody shouldn't be allowed to have a gun it's this guy. He is literally calling for gun violence against back protesters who show up to the GOP convention. Hopefully, the FBI has seen this video and are planning to take Stachowiak into custody before we end up with another mass shooting.

From June 27th to 29th 2019, the annual grad school seminar was held in Hokuyrūko, Nagano. Every year, the graduating students have to present their thesis topics, and spend a few days together to deepen the bonds between the professors and the students. Following the tradition, this year too, our GFC students participated in the seminar. However, next to presenting their thesis topics, this year the GFC students also organized several workshops linked to their research. There were workshops in photography, sketching and hip-hop dance, in which all the GFC students participated together.

About Blythe House
In 1989 Blythe House started helping people in the High Peak affected by cancer or life-limiting illnesses. We've come a long way since then, but our mission remains the same.
We would like to say a huge thank you to local videograper David King who volunteered his time to direct and produce the video below to commemorate our 30th anniversary year!
Our endearing thanks go to everyone who's made Blythe House Hospicecare what it is today – including past and present staff, patients, their families and carers, local healthcare professionals, and of course, without doubt, our dedicated legion of volunteers.
Thank you to everyone who's helped to shape this video by providing information and anecdotal stories about Blythe House's history.
'Stan Blythe, a local secondary school teacher, keen birdwatcher and the longest serving president of Buxton Field Club, had retired early due to encroaching blindness. He lived alone in Fairfield and was on my list of visiting parishioners.
'I changed parishes and sometime later received a request to visit Stan in hospital where he had just been told that he had cancer. He wanted to tell me that he was determined to die at home. My visits resumed and it was painful to watch this tall, erect and gentle man gradually getting weaker and less able to cope. As it became obvious that he was unable to care for himself, I invited him to come and live with us.
'Fiercely and stubbornly independent, he refused until the time came when he could admit his frailty and so for the last four months of his life he had a bedroom overlooking the garden, listening to and identifying the birds. He had the regular care of a supportive medical team and was waited on hand and foot by his many friends who came to prepare his meals and be with him during the day.
'On the morning that he died a voice on his beloved radio sang "….the birds are singing and I don't know how to say goodbye." So Stan had a peaceful death enveloped in the loving care of his many, many friends.
'Stan left me £1,000 and I knew immediately that I wanted to build a hospice in his name. Blythe House is a fulfillment of that dream – a memorial to a wonderfully warm and brave man.'
Blythe House has a clear mission statement which provides overarching guidance on the purpose of the organisation as follows: 'Blythe House Hospicecare provides the highest level of care and support for people with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses.'
Treating each person with kindness, empathy, compassion and respect.
Continually learning and developing; striving for excellence in everything we do.
Delivering high standards through team work, a skilled workforce and good governance
View all Blythe House Hospicecare's policies and procedures online including:
Tim began his career as an Accountant with a city practice, qualifying as a Chartered Certified Accountant in 2002. He worked for a number of firms as an auditor and advisor to the SME/OMB sector (services for small to medium sized enterprises and owner managed businesses) before returning to the Manchester office of a now top 10 firm where he specialised in corporate tax and corporate finance. He started his own practice, based in the High Peak, in 2006.
Tim has served on many committees over the years and takes a keen interest in supporting the local community. He is currently Chairman of Whaley Bridge Carnival Committee.
Lesley worked for Edinburgh University as a university administrator and then worked for Cambridge University Press as a Personnel Officer. While in Cambridge she did a day release course and qualified with GradIPM (member of the Institute of Personnel Manager - now called the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development).
She moved to Buxton in 1991 and went back to Staffordshire University where she did the CPE course followed by the LPC. She was offered a training contract by Cooper Sons Hartley & Williams which she began in 1994. Lesley is now a partner with the same firm.
Delia was educated at Sheffield High School before heading to the London School of Economics in 1981 and then joining Peat Marwick Mitchell, which later became KPMG, and qualified as a Chartered Accountant.

With three children now, Delia had finally had enough of corporate life in 2005 and moved to Whaley Bridge where she joined a local firm of accountants.
Delia became the youngest ever Trustee of HFT, a leading charity providing residential care for adults with learning disabilities, sitting on the Management Board and chairing the Audit Committee. Her next involvement was with the Princess Royal Trust for Carers in Manchester where she was Treasurer, and Chairman for a period after the death of the incumbent, at a time of swingeing cuts in the funding of charities.
Delia's involvement with Blythe House came about because of the Hospice at Home Service. Having seen the problems of end of life care in the area on the death of her father, she was keen to get involved with the project and became a Trustee of Blythe House in 2015.
James has had a broad career working with a variety of organisations ending up in the food industry with United Biscuits for 28 years as the local director in Manchester.

Simon has always been interested in the work of the hospice movement and, having been involved in some of the very first meetings at Reverend Betty Packham's house, succeeded Betty as Chairman of the Board of Trustees. He has been delighted to both observe and contribute to the development of Blythe House over many years, most recently as a chaplain/spiritual care volunteer.
John went to The London School of Economics to study Monetary Economics after which he joined Deloittes and qualified as a Chartered Accountant.

He is currently the Co-President of the Rotary club of Buxton.
Dr Natalie Fielding started at the University of Sheffield studying cell biology but quickly decided that she would be far happier with and far better suited to a career in medicine. Whilst at Sheffield Medical School, she spent time with the Territorial Army and commissioned as an officer from The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Although she enjoyed the challenge of the TA, she knew that her passion lay with community based medicine. After foundation medical training in Sheffield, she started her GP training in Manchester and quickly settled on the beautiful Peak District as her base.
Alongside GP training, she has juggled the challenges of raising two young children and helping out with her husband's two very busy hotels/ pubs/ restaurants.
She enjoys feeling part of her community and getting to know her patients and their families. She worked locally at Thornbrook Surgery in Chapel-en-le-Frith and enjoyed this so much that she has now started as a Partner at the surgery.
Bryan was born in Cape Town in July 1941 and moved to Port Elizabeth aged 8. After schooling in the Eastern Cape Province, he returned to Cape Town to read Mechanical Engineering at The University of Cape Town.

During his time as a GP, he served on various management and representative bodies including: Chairman of Derby and Derbyshire Local Medical Committee, Chairman of High Peak Shadow CCG, and board member of High Peak and Dales PCG and PCT.
After giving up his licence to practice as a Doctor, until recently Sean continued to work part time in the NHS as a Non-Executive Director of Sherwood Forest Hospitals Foundation Trust.
A proud resident of the High Peak for many years, Lizzy now lives in New Mills and has been an academic and law lecturer for over ten years.
Currently the Undergraduate Programme Director for Salford Law, and lecturing across a wide range of legal areas, specialising in the areas of international labour and tort law.
Throughout her academic career, which has included lecturing at The University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University and summer programme lecturing at The University of Cambridge, Lizzy remains dedicated to the personal and professional development of all of her students.
Alongside her academic career she has also worked in industry for such companies as Stratstone Ferrari and CIPD, and brings with her a wider ranging skill set and strong portfolio of experience in education, management and marketing.
Sarah undertook voluntary work for Trafford social services, and it was here she had her first real exposure to someone who was nearing end of life and their abysmal quality of life. Shocked by lack of services, Sarah visited St Ann's Hospice in Heald Green. She was captivated and thrilled when offered a post as a nursing auxiliary. Sarah worked that summer and all her University holidays for the first two years of her medical degree at Sheffield.
Later she worked at the Christie and St Ann's Hospice, North Manchester before deciding to train in Oncology at Sheffield. After two years she realised that her heart lay in Palliative Care so switched registrar posts acquiring her CCST in 2000. Sarah was appointed Consultant in Chesterfield finally taking up the post in June 2002.
Sarah runs a weekly Palliative care clinic from Blythe House and also a monthly Lymphoedema clinic. She is on the Clinical Committee. She is passionate about supporting patients to stay in their homes and working closely with nursing and medical colleagues to make this a possibility.
Anne always wanted to be a nurse, so at the age of 17 she undertook nurse training for four and a half years at Manchester Royal Infirmary.
She moved back to Chapel-en-le-Frith when she married and held a variety of posts in rheumatology, orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation at the Devonshire Royal Hospital Buxton. In 1988 she qualified as a nurse tutor and has had a number of roles combining education and clinical practice. She has gained qualifications in aromatherapy, counselling, psychotherapy and hypnotherapy.
In 1996 she moved into the field of cancer and palliative care working at the Neil Cliffe Cancer Centre and St Ann's Hospice. She moved to the Christie Hospital in 2000 to take up a joint post as Lecturer Practitioner with the Psycho- Oncology team and the University of Manchester and was module leader for the cancer, palliative care and communication skills courses.
In 2008, she came to work at Blythe House Hospicecare, integrating the Living Well Service into the hospice. A number of hospices throughout the country have now adopted the supportive /rehabilitation model that she developed at Blythe House.
In 2014 she was awarded the MBE for her work in cancer care in Manchester and Derbyshire.
We are pleased to present our Annual Review 2018/2019.
The Hospice Survey 2019 was open from 28th May – 5th July 2019. The survey was run by Birdsong Charity Consulting, on behalf of Hospice UK. 37 responses from paid staff were received for Blythe House Hospicecare.
1. Are hospices where people go to die?
This is a common misconception and one we battle every day. Blythe House Hospice is here to help anyone living with cancer or other life-limiting illnesses, and we support people at any stage of their illness – from diagnosis to death or recovery. We are also there to support the friends and family of anyone affected by another's illness.
2. Is Blythe House just for people with cancer?
We are here to help anyone affected by cancer or life-limiting illness and we support people who are bereaved. Visit our services pages to see the range of work we do.
3. Are the services provided by Blythe House free of charge?
The services we provide at Blythe House are free to the public, with the exception of education and training courses. However our services aren't free to provide, which is why we are always so grateful for all of our wonderful supporters and every donation we receive.
4. Do I have to be referred into Blythe House services by my GP?
If you or someone you know may benefit from any of the services Blythe House offers, we are here to help. It doesn't matter whether a GP, friend or relative makes the referral, or whether you just call us to make an appointment to talk to someone, we're here for you. Simple as that.
5. What is Blythe House like? Is it depressing?
Just walk through our doors and you will see this myth dissolve. You will receive a warm welcome and may be surprised at the incredible atmosphere and feeling of well-being. Blythe House is filled with beautiful art, warmth, friends, smiles and laughter.
6. How can Blythe House help me?
There are so many ways that staff and volunteers at Blythe House, and other hospices, go above and beyond to help, and so many services available. These range from clinical services including palliative care support, Hospice at Home, to counselling, meditation, help with financial issues, advice, creative art, our headstart service, our nourishing lunches, to just having someone to talk to. There are so many ways that Blythe House can help you. Call us to find out more.
7. Does Blythe House have beds?
No; Blythe House is a Day Hospice. From April 2016 we will also run a Hospice at Home service. Many people don't realise that 90% of hospice care in the UK is provided through day and hospice at home services.

New stats recently released from the 2018 TIBCO CXO Innovation Survey suggest that the use of analytics and business intelligence is making its way across the enterprise. Below are the top three examples that the survey uncovered, along with a video that shows the use case in action. Take a look:
1. Personalizing Customer Experience — While new and different analytics use cases are becoming more pervasive across the business, improving customer service and engagement usually tops the adoption list. More efficient, data-driven customer interactions have been around since the 1990s. But today's advances in areas like predictive analytics are making the vision of one-to-one customer relationships a reality. Below you can see how inQuba helps "listen" to the voice of the customer and take immediate action with its customer experience orchestration platform — powered by analytics and BI:
2. Real-Time Decision Making — The ability to decide and act instantly is the new norm in today's digital world. To get there, you need to bring together all your systems, processes and people — including partners and external members of your ecosystem. Hear how Rome Airport brought together its intricate, far-reaching systems to analyze data from customers, as well as providers like airlines. This enables airport management to take immediate actions to ensure a smooth "passenger flow" at the airport at all times. Watch it here:
3. Data Visualization — With big data came a big need to make this newly available information easier to access and consume — allowing for the time to actually do something with it. Enter Data Visualization, which does is pretty much exactly what it says: Provides a visual representation of data in the form of graphs, charts, and infographics to enable faster insight and action — usually in the form of dashboards and management consoles. Listen to Sage Human Capital CEO Paul Grewal explain how implementing analytics tools and easy-to-use dashboards made it easier to track progress on candidate searches and make more data-driven strategic recommendations to its clients:
What's more, while the three use cases above ranked among the top called out by TIBCO CXO Innovation Survey respondents, others are also getting traction at companies worldwide. This includes optimizing pricing and merchandising, improving marketing campaign performance, automating stock and inventory management, and better-managing people resources.
Stay tuned!

8 Expert Tips For Picking the Right Gourmet Catering Service In Eaglemont
When it comes to the things that can make or break an occasion, couple of are as important as the quality, flavor and look of the food and beverages you serve. A lot is riding on your decision which catering service to work with, and if you believe this decision actually isn't that important, take a look at it in this manner, remarkable catering can save an event that's on the rocks, but bad catering will usually send out visitors to the doors.
In addition, since catering is often the # 1 or # 2 line-item expense for most events, the caterer you select is also a substantial financial decision and can influence just how much money you have left over to invest in other areas depending on food expenses and amounts.
Include that caterers can vary dramatically in their prices and the kinds of meals and services they use, and the procedure of selecting a caterer can figuratively and literally feel like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Individual Interest In Your Requirements
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this showed up over and over and over again, mainly due to the fact that how responsive and interested a caterer is throughout your preliminary discussions is a sign of how they will perform throughout the length of their contract with you (and more on contracts later).
A potential catering service ought to be discovering as much as they can about you in your first couple of conversations with them, so you must expect them to be talking and asking concerns about 20% of the time and you supplying responses and outlining your requirements about 80% of the time.
# 2 Capability To Manage Your Specific Type of Event In Eaglemont 3084
Not every catering service is best or every type of event, and many catering services themselves honestly confess this.
So when interviewing your Eaglemont caterers (and you ought to speak to at least 3 catering services for any event with an affordable budget plan), you have to specify about the kind of occasion you are planning and the type of food and/or presentation you are anticipating. Otherwise, you might wind up picking a catering service who just isn't really a great fit for the type or style of your occasion.
Almost every catering service has a standard menu or menus to pick from, and lots of do supply some level of built-in versatility to adapt these menus to your particular needs by substituting specific items and/or personalizing others.
Nevertheless, the standout caterers will go beyond standardized menu alternatives and be willing to develop fantastic fare that matches a lot more specific style and dietary requirements.
# 3 Determination To Provide Tastings
How will you ever know exactly what a catering service can do unless you sample their goods? And more specifically, how will you understand what the menu items you are thinking about will taste like unless you particularly try them?
Some people shy away from asking to sample the particular items they desire for their occasion due to the fact that it seems like an inconvenience for the catering service, but it is standard to request for a sampling of what you are meaning to order before you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can ask for wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your occasion (again, be prepared to pay a fee, it's a small cost to pay to guarantee you select the best catering service). And when you are tasting the food, also take care of how it exists, as any caterer who puts in the time to effectively show a sample will most likely be more likely to make that kind of effort on your event day.
Are you an event manager who has to handle catering information, spending plans and assignments?
Or are you a catering service who needs to track propositions, invoices, meal selections, inventory and other customer information?
# 4 Familiarity With The Venue
You might be in for a surprise if you employ a BBQ take-out joint to cater an official ballroom fundraiser. Or if you choose a high-end business event catering service to serve a barn wedding. Why? Due to the fact that these catering services might not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get even more specific depending upon limitations of the venue itself, like when it comes to museums and historical sites.
Much more traditional venues can also have restrictions that catering services must follow, like particular setup standards or disposal restrictions for waste food and water, so having a catering service that is familiar with a location's rules can potentially save you lots of trouble on event day.
# 5 Complete Explanation Of Services/Goods Promised In The Agreement
The catering service's contract should plainly spell out exactly what food, drinks and services the catering service will be supplying on the designated day( s). Furthermore, it ought to secure you from non-performance as much as it protects the caterer from non-payment/default, so you may wish to consider having a lawyer} look at it prior to you sign it.
Every detail ought to be included in the agreement, consisted of selected menus, number of servings and/or people to be served, beverage/bar service information (if relevant) and all prices and additional services.
No caterer in Eaglemont with a shred of self-respect and scruples participates in an agreement with plans to bail at the last minute, however you have to make sure there is a cancellation provision in your contract simply in case your caterer has to cancel.
You do not wish to be left without recourse with only days or hours before your occasion, so simply make sure cancellation procedures and penalties are in place so you do have a backup strategy.
# 6 Referrals You Can Call and Speak To
Naturally you will need to look into the caterers in Eaglemont you are considering, and it's always excellent to start online and check out sites.
However, don't stop there, as online reviews are not always trusted (or perhaps authentic); for instance, a good caterer may have had a couple of nightmare/hater clients who alter their ratings, while a truly average caterer may have padded their online reviews. So see if you can track down some previous clients of the catering services you are considering and reach out to them.
# 7 Insurance Coverage
Every catering service we talked to called insurance protection "an offered" for caterers, and you certainly do not wish to legally be on the hook for some oversight or mishap that was the fault of your caterer.
# 8 A Skilled Chef and Cooking Area Personnel
Remarkably, the length of time a catering business in Eaglemont has actually been in business may not be as crucial in selecting a fantastic caterer as you may think.
So make sure to ask about the chef's bona fides and CV due to the fact that he/she will probably be the one most responsible for the result of the meal and whether your guests enjoy it or not.

ST201 Digital Clamp Multimeter
Product Introduction
The clamp meter is a meter that combines a current transformer and an ammeter. It is an important branch of a digital multimeter. Its working principle is the same as that of a current transformer. The clamp meter is a combination of a current transformer and an ammeter. The core of the current transformer can be opened when the wrench is tightened; the wire through which the current is measured can pass through the opening of the core without being cut off, and the core is closed when the wrench is released. The circuit lead wire that passes through the core becomes the primary coil of the current transformer, and when the current passes, the current is induced in the secondary coil. Therefore, the current meter connected to the secondary coil has an indication-----measures the current of the line under test.
Some tips:zero the data before measuring. Select the appropriate range, first select the large, then select the small range or look at the nameplate value to estimate. When measuring, the wire to be tested should be placed in the center of the jaws and the jaws should be closed tightly to reduce the error. After the measurement is completed, turn the transfer switch to the maximum range.

The bright, clear days of summer are perfect for making improvements to your home and assessing how your windows are holding up. If you're finding your energy bill is steadily increasing, it may be a sign that your windows are failing and are no longer insulating your home properly.
If this is the case, it's time to consider new windows. Let's face it, there are plenty of options including wood, vinyl, aluminum, and fiberglass. When choosing which casing is best for you, you shout take into consideration the environmental impact of your choice as some of these options are not the most eco-friendly window material available today. Fiberglass has been known to offer homeowners and business owners, alike, strength, durability, and all of the eco-friendly benefits all of which we've come to rely on in our everyday lives.
Below, weve listed the top 5 reasons to consider eco-friendly windows this summer, and how this upgrade can help you get through those dreaded dog days.
1. Stay True
2. Cool Off
Another aspect of fiberglass windows that outperforms its competitors is its resistance capabilities. Fiberglass windows are equipped with UV-resistance which helps give it an added layer of protection against hot weather. This means it allows less direct sunlight into your house. In addition, the material's low thermal conductivity helps regulate the temperature of your home more effectively.
You certainly do not want to turn on the air conditioner only to discover that your window is actually the culprit of most of that hot air that is sneaking into your kitchen and living room. This is particularly important in the summer when air conditioner usage is most prevalent.
3. The Tough Stuff
As we all know, summer was made for enjoying the great outdoors, which means lots of sports, barbecues, family and friends gathering, and other activities in your backyard. The summer, however, can also be a tough time for your windows. When that football starts getting tossed around, there's no telling where it may land. Fiberglass is almost 10x stronger than any other window material, meaning it won't break when hit with that rogue football.
Summer thunderstorms can also be a concern for many homeowners, who will be happy to know that eco-friendly windows are non-combustible and won't ignite due to lightning strikes or extreme heat. So, go ahead and play a little backyard football this summer, and take a deep breath when you hear that rumble in the distance — your windows can take it.
4. Go Green
The eco-friendly benefits of energy efficient windows aren't exclusive to summer. They also affect how well your house maintains it's heat when the weather gets cold. It's still important to consider these benefits when thinking about your upgrade options. Most energy efficient windows are made from a significant portion of recycled materials, and they can often be recycled again at the end of their lifespan.
Energy efficient windows also take less energy to produce than wood, vinyl or aluminum, and fewer emissions are released during manufacturing. Combined with the energy-efficient benefits outlined above, you'll be doing your part to help the environment stay in tip-top shape.
5. Longer Lifespan
Although it may depend on the type of material and fiberglass you choose, most "green" windows are made to last a lifetime. Although the upfront cost may be higher than with other materials, consider the savings from having a more environmentally sustainable home and windows that cost little to nothing to maintain. Because the material won't warp or crack and you don't have to worry about the paint fading or peeling, all you'll need to do is give the frames a wipe every once and a while and you're good to go. Overall, it's a small price to pay for your longtime peace of mind.
As you consider your home renovation projects this summer, it's important to evaluate whether or not your existing windows are doing their job to keep your home safe and properly insulated. If they're not, then fiberglass windows are well worth the upfront investment for the longevity and durability they'll add to your home not just in the summer, but all year long. Though, we bet you'll be particularly happy when those dog days cease to heat up your house!

Birthday cakes delivered on nominated delivery date (except for Sundays and Mondays). For overseas deliveries (fruit cakes only) we deliver to many parts of the world but we regret there are some countries to which we cannot send cakes because of problems with logistics and/or customs restrictions.

Cost of delivery.
Delivery is FREE except for delivery on Saturdays to UK addresses (£4.95).
Nominated Delivery Day
For UK deliveries you can nominate a delivery date, except for Sundays and Mondays. We appreciate that having birthday cakes delivered on the birthday is all important. We will do our best to deliver on the day you nominate, dispatching the day before your nominated day, based on DPD 'next day' service levels, but please bear in mind this isn't a guarantee because the courier service is out of our control. As no shipments are made on Saturdays or Sundays this means deliveries will not be made on Sundays and Mondays. For overseas orders it is not possible to nominate a delivery day as delivery lead times are too variable.
Order Dispatch
All orders for delivery in the UK are dispatched by express courier for next-day delivery. We cannot deliver on the same day as the order is received. For order dispatch 'working days' are defined as 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. Orders received before 1pm can be dispatched the same day if the order requires it (for delivery the following day). For orders received after 1pm, the earliest date of dispatch will be the next working day. Orders are not dispatched on Saturdays or Sundays.
Delivery Timescale
All UK orders are dispatched by DPD Local courier parcel service. Orders may arrive up to 2 working days after dispatch although the large majority arrive the next working day. DPD are experts at getting birthday cakes delivered on the nominated day, but our delivery times are for guidance and cannot be a guarantee. We are not liable for delivery delays once an order has been dispatched. Overseas orders (fruit cakes only) are dispatched by Royal Mail International service and delivery lead times vary enormously depending on the country of destination (we have given some guidance on the checkout page but this is only advisory and can't be guaranteed).
Sundays and Public Holidays
Deliveries will not be made on Sundays and public holidays.
Does the recipient need to be at home to sign for the parcel?
UK deliveries are via DPD Local and they provide a sophisticated tracking service, but it is reliant on the recipient's mobile phone number and/or email address having been supplied by the person who placed the order. It is preferred that someone is available to receive the parcel and sign for it. On the day of delivery DPD will contact the recipient to advise expected time of delivery and to offer delivery options such as leaving the parcel with a neighbour or a DPD collection point (local shop) or leaving in a 'safe place' agreed with the recipient. If DPD cannot deliver successfully they will leave a card or send an SMS explaining that a delivery has been attempted and giving details of how a re-delivery can be arranged. At no point will DPD reveal what is in the parcel or who sent it. There is a barcode on the parcel that DPD will scan when they deliver the cake so that we know it was safely delivered. Requirements for a signature on overseas deliveries vary according to the destination country and the mailing service being used.

Would you like to help boaters be safe and keep waters clean in your local area? Begun over 25 years ago and one of the longest-running boating community grant programs, the BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water Grassroots Grant program provides local groups up to $10,000 to help educate boaters on safe and clean boating topics. A 365-day rolling grant application process allows applicants to apply at any time throughout the year, speeding the review process and allowing flexibility in funding projects.
To get started, all a local group has to do is submit a short letter of intent explaining its idea. If the idea is strong and meets Grassroots Grant program guidelines, the BoatUS Foundation will ask for a full proposal. Past projects have ranged from public service announcements on the effects of boating under the influence and installing fishing line recycling bins to hands-on education about the effects of marine debris and even a distinctive airborne blimp adorned with boating safety messages.
"Our goal is facilitate behavioral changes in the boating community," said BoatUS Foundation Director of Outreach Alanna Keating. "We are always looking for unique ideas that reach local boaters, either through technology or in other ways that can be measured in terms of success."
Since 1989, the Foundation has awarded more than $1.3 million to organizations that have developed creative projects to promote safe and clean boating on their local waterways. For more information or to apply, go to BoatUS.org/Grants.
About the BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water:

Funded primarily by donations from the more than half-million members of Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS), the nonprofit provides innovative educational outreach directly to boaters and anglers with the aim of reducing accidents and fatalities, increasing stewardship of America's waterways and keeping boating safe for all.

Travelport Cares: How we're making our mark
September 4, 2019
Travelport is much more than a global technology company. When you look within these walls, you'll find a common theme among our employees when they explain what they enjoy about #LifeAtTravelport: the people. Culture and corporate social responsibility are primary investments we make in our organization, and honestly, its our talent and passions that help our business thrive.
In my first Travelport Cares blog, I described how employees are fundraising and supporting local charities across the globe with our Give 150% program. I am continuing the focus on the Travelport Cares community pillar in this blog, to demonstrate how Travelport extends its support for employees to dedicate one of their most valuable assets - their time - for supporting the causes they care about.
Make Your Mark (MYM) days: Each year, we grant employees (who have been with us for more than 6 months) one paid day off to volunteer for an eligible charity - or participate in a fundraising activity to support a cause in their community. By freeing up our people to do good and offering them a "Make Your Mark Day," we provide them the flexibility to use their volunteer time in a way that personally speaks to them and their willingness to give back.
Employees worldwide are able to volunteer alone, or, organize team events and extend invitations for their colleagues based locally to join in their efforts. In fact, our interns in the U.S. and in the UK recently participated in a group MYM day, where they selected a local charity to volunteer for and participated as a group.
Here's a few ways our employees have utilized their own MYM day this year:
- Kayaking to clean and collect garbage: With the support of the NGO Green Kayak, Travelport employees in the Nordics spent a MYM day collecting more than 9 kg of plastic and other waste polluting the waters of Copenhagen Harbour.
- Packing medical supplies for those in need: Thirteen of our Global Product and Product Propositions employees based in Denver, CO, USA volunteered at Project CURE, the largest provider of donated medical supplies and equipment to developing countries around the world. The team spent the day packing hundreds of pounds of latex gloves and hundreds of diapers, as well as sorting donated supplies in preparation for shipment to communities around the world.
- Spending quality time with the elderly: Travelport Hotelzon employees in Espoo Finland offered their helping hands to a local elderly housing facility, Kanervakoti – Kanervahemmet, where they baked waffles, played games with the residents and spent time just enjoying each other's company. One volunteer commented: "The smiles on the residents face spoke more than million words. All along this was a wonderful experience on both sides."
- Treasure hunting for sick children: Travelport employees in Ireland joined over 1,600 members of the Irish tech and business communities as part of the Techies4TempleStreet charity event. Our colleagues took to the streets of Dublin for a unique treasure trail, combining outdoor activities with digital media challenges whilst making an impact to the lives of sick children across Ireland in support of the Temple Street Hospital.
- Providing care to the ill: An Atlanta, GA, USA employee enjoys spending time at a local hospital, and splits her volunteer time between visiting patients on the hospital floors and cuddling with the premature babies in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). This is how she takes advantage of her annual MYM Day, and, her motto for volunteering (and life) is "be the reason someone smiles today."
- Feeding the hungry: One of our New Jersey, USA based employees spent a MYM day collecting donated food items from local grocery stores and making deliveries to the elderly and others in need around the community through Half Table Man.
- Helping the homeless: A group of 10 Langley, UK employees spent their day at Slough Homelessness Our Concern (SHOC) where they sorted through clothing donations, worked in the kitchen to help prepare hot meals and socialized with those in need of SHOC's services.
- Restoring mother nature: One of our Australian employees worked with Conservation Volunteers Australia to restore an area park and it's creek banks its former glory as a valuable habitat. Under the guidance of a CVA representative, she spent the day identifying and removing weeds, managing of overgrown flora and removing rubbish from the grounds.
This year, we're doing more to highlight the skills, energy and passion our employees are contributing to make our world a better place. And this Travelport Cares blog series is a start. As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility, the #TravelportCares program enables employees to support the causes they care most about, within three core pillars, which we'll continue to expand on in future blogs:
- Education
- Community
- Sustainability
How can you help?
- Get started: Employees, are you looking for information to get involved or support a community cause you care about? Email firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com!

9.8 Million laptops will be stolen or lost in the next 2 years according to Tadayoshi Kohno. With that in mind a research project at the University of Washington has created the Adeona project named after the Roman goddess of safe returns. The lead Ph.D. students on the project are Gabriel Maganis and Thomas Ristenpart, working with UW faculty members Tadayoshi Kohno and Arvind Krishnamurthy.
Adeona has three main properties:
- Private: Adeona uses state-of-the-art cryptographic mechanisms to ensure that the owner is the only party that can use the system to reveal the locations visited by a device.
- Reliable: Adeona uses a community-based remote storage facility, ensuring retrievability of recent location updates.
- Open source and free: Adeona's software is licensed under GPLv2. While your locations are secret, the tracking system's design is not.

Amazon Is in Talks to Create Its Own Branded Checking Account
In partnership with J.P. Morgan.
After a survey asking consumers if they'd trust Amazon-branded cryptocurrencies, rumor has it the retail giant is in talks with J.P. Morgan to build its own checking account. Although Amazon wouldn't function like a bank, the service would be aimed at younger audiences as well as individuals without bank accounts and would be partnered alongside existing firms.
The product is still early in development, so it's unknown what other bank functions it will contain, such as ATM access. It's noted that if the process took off, it would eliminate fees it now pays to bank and payment processors. What do you think about the possibilities? Comment below. In related news, Amazon was recently accused for being complicit in counterfeit sales.

The fact that Romagna hosts an artistic and cultural event dedicated to Art Nouveau does not surprise, considering the significant stylistic contribution that the territory has been able to give both nationally and internationally between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
This was the golden era in which the first tourist flows appeared in Riviera and the many commissions brought to the whole region, among the most active Art-Nouveau Italian workshops, a strong presence of designers and artists.
What, instead, surprises in the exhibition held until June 15 at the Museums of San Domenico in Forlì, "Liberty. Uno stile per l'Italia moderna" (Art Nouveau. A style for modern Italy), is the extent of its transverse content which is not restricted to aesthetics but also shows, in a much broader and comprehensive sense, the climate of renewal and revolution which spread everywhere during the so-called Belle Époque. The rich exhibition itinerary in Forlì becomes - through a series of parallels among art, music, theatre and literature – a significant and concrete expression of Art Nouveau as cultural movement, son of the progress that pervaded the Italian and European atmosphere at the turn of those two centuries, trying to mark the distance from the past and take the direction of modernity.
Through this concept made of matching and continuous comparisons among places, performers and artistic languages, the exhibition illustrates the major themes of those decades, so confident and yet so restless, and this is the way how it tells and reveals the dream of a new world, destined to end shortly with the outbreak of the First World War.
Great symbols of Art Nouveau were the female figure, main character of painting and sculpture as image of pleasure and freedom, and the soft and sinuous line which inspired the so-called floral revolution that pervaded visual and decorative arts as expressive sign of change. And this great ferment, in fact, is the main protagonist inside the Musei Dominicani, where there is an ideal heterogeneous and structured dialogue among furniture and paintings, textiles and wrought irons, paintings and potteries, decorative art and literature, in a exhibition made of relations and comparisons. According to this criterion, Boccioni's posters are juxtaposed with those of Dudovich, Issen's decorative objects with those of Basile and Fontana, Bellotto's wrought irons with those of Mazzucotelli, the paintings of Casorati, Kienerk and Segatini with the sculptures of Trentacoste and Baccarini, just to name a few, in a continuous contamination that also passes through the great literature of D'Annunzio, Pascoli, Wild and Proust and the great music of Puccini and Mascagni.

Nine out of 10 GPs fear they will miss a vital clue about a patient's illness during a consultation because they are so busy, a poll of family doctors reveals.
And one in 10 say they feel so overworked and disillusioned with the rising demand for care, endless paperwork and the push for seven-day GP services that they will quit in the next year.
The findings, contained in a poll of 504 GPs from across the UK undertaken last month by ComRes on behalf of the Royal College of GPs (RCGP), underline the growing doubts about the government's pledge to increase the number of family doctors in England by 5,000 by 2020.
The survey found that 88% of respondents worried about missing something serious during an appointment with a patient because of their workload.
"It is OK now and again to have a really busy day, but at the moment in general practice it's relentless, and that is a threat to our own health and our patients' safety," said Dr Maureen Baker, the chair of the RCGP. "Tired GPs are more likely to make mistakes, be it missing a potential symptom or making a paperwork error, and the results of our survey today show that this is a very real concern for a huge number of family doctors.
"Demand on general practice is increasing and the resources and workforce available to us are so lacking that individual GPs are currently seeing too many patients a day to be safe. And then at the end of a long day in clinic, we will still have a mountain of paperwork to get through."
The survey found that 99% of respondents said workload had risen and 94% felt fatigue had increased over the past five years, while 97% believed morale had worsened. Three in ten (29%) had sought help with work-related stress in the past two years.
The drive by ministers to let patients in England access a GP between 8am and 8pm every day of the week by the end of this parliament emerged as a key reason why one in 10 intend to leave general practice within the next 12 months.
GPs were asked: "What impact, if any, would extending current services to provide seven-day access to routine patient care in general practice have on your plans for your future career in general practice?"
Half of those under 30 said it would make them more likely to leave in the next year, and the figures were higher among those aged 30-39 (84%), 40-49 (80%), 50-59 (77%) and 60 and over (86%).
More experienced GPs are the most likely to be considering quitting: 4% of those aged 40-49, 13% in the 50-59 range and 24% of those aged 60 or over said they were thinking of doing so.
General practice's share of the NHS budget has fallen to 9% in recent years, despite the ageing population placing extra demand and responsibilities on GPs. The RCGP is urging the chancellor, George Osborne, to use his spending review on Wednesday to reverse that trend.
"Fail to invest in general practice in the spending review, and general practice and the whole of the NHS is in danger of disintegrating before the end of the current parliament. It's as simple as that," Baker said.
The Department of Health declined to respond directly to ComRes's findings. "GPs do a fantastic job and we know they are under pressure from growing demand. That's why we're working with the RCGP to recruit 5,000 more doctors over the next five years," a spokesman said.
Ministers have already cut GPs' must-do duties by a third under the quality and outcomes framework, ensured that a small but growing number of patients have telephone access to their family doctor and expanded the number of weekend and evening appointments that GP practices offer.
The DH added that 61% of voters favour seven-day GP access. However, growing evidence from continuing pilots suggests little demand for Sunday appointments.
• ComRes interviewed 504 GPs online from 23-27 October. Data was weighted to be representative of all GPs in the UK.
