- negative economic conditions that adversely affect the economy, housing prices, the job market and other factors that may affect the Company's liquidity and the performance of its loan portfolios, particularly in the markets in which it operates;
- the extent of defaults and losses on the Company's loan portfolio, which may require further increases in its allowance for credit losses;
- estimates of fair value of certain of the Company's assets and liabilities, which could change in value significantly from period to period;
- changes in the level and volatility of interest rates, the capital markets and other market indices that may affect, among other things, the Company's liquidity and the value of its assets and liabilities;
- a decrease in the Company's regulatory capital ratios, including as a result of further declines in the value of its loan portfolios, or otherwise;
- effects resulting from the Company's participation in the Capital Purchase Program, including restrictions on dividends and executive compensation practices, as well as any future restrictions that may become applicable to the Company;
- legislative or regulatory changes, particularly changes in regulation of financial services companies and/or the products and services offered by financial services companies;
- increases in the Company's FDIC insurance premiums, or the collection of special assessments by the FDIC;
- competitive pressures in the financial services business which may affect the pricing of the Company's loan and deposit products as well as its services (including wealth management services);
- delinquencies or fraud with respect to the Company's premium finance business;

- credit downgrades among commercial and life insurance providers that could negatively affect the value of collateral securing the Company's premium finance loans;
- any negative perception of the Company's reputation or financial strength;
- the loss of customers as a result of technological changes allowing consumers to complete their financial transactions without the use of a bank;
- the ability of the Company to attract and retain senior management experienced in the banking and financial services industries;
- failure to identify and complete favorable acquisitions in the future, or unexpected difficulties or developments related to the integration of recent acquisitions, including with respect to any FDIC-assisted acquisitions;
- unexpected difficulties or unanticipated developments related to the Company's strategy of de novo bank formations and openings, which typically require over 13 months of operations before becoming profitable due to the impact of organizational and overhead expenses, the startup phase of generating deposits and the time lag typically involved in redeploying deposits into attractively priced loans and other higher yielding earning assets;
- changes in accounting standards, rules and interpretations and the impact on the Corporation's financial statements;
- significant litigation involving the Company; and
- the ability of the Company to receive dividends from its subsidiaries.

The article below describes some methods that can have you feeling better about your weight and look great.
Try to gradually to lose weight. A good goal of reduction is 500 calories from your total daily caloric intake by around five hundred calories.

Try to decrease the quantity of caffeine you consume. Studies have shown that caffeine can actually slow down your metabolism.
Keep plenty of healthy snacks in your house if you're attempting to lose weight.Buy a large resealable container. Prepare your veggies, fill the bottom of the container with ice and a small amount of water and store the vegetables in the refrigerator.You now have a simple and healthy snack that is easy to take along with you!
One good way to lose excess weight is by joining an organization such as Jenny Craig. They have a built in support system and a number of resources available to you. If it is within your budget, joining might be the best thing you have ever done for yourself.
Do not avoid your cravings.Foods such as chips and ice cream are delicious.Cravings for unhealthy foods like these can be extreme while you diet. Try not to give in, but don't completely ignore these cravings either. Try an alternative that is better for you satisfy your cravings.
Lose Weight
Have walnuts available to help you lose weight. Eating walnuts in the morning is shown to help you feel full longer. They're also an excellent snack food.
Make sure you're dealing with your stress in check so as this helps you lose weight. When your body feels stress it tends to hoard onto calories and fat to provide a defense mechanism. Your body responds to stress by storing calories so you are stressed out. Keep stress to a minimum so you can lose weight.
A great weight is to drink milk before a meal. Milk also has calcium which helps build strong bones and will keep your bones strong as well as build muscle mass.
If you are trying to shed some pounds, don't let the embarrassment of leaving a half full plate deter you. Despite what you mother told you, eating everything on your plate can have negative consequences on your weight. It is perfectly acceptable to take a doggy bag of leftovers home. Don't feel the need to eat every last bite of food purely because it's on your plate. Eventually, you will know the correct amount for a single serving just by looking at it.
Make sure that you are getting enough water during your daily routine. Most adults need to drink around eight glasses each day to stay adequately hydrated. You will want to drink a lot more when it is hot. Drinking lots of water keeps your digestive system running smoothly and you avoid overeating.
A great way to lose some weight is to ensure that your dish sizes small. If you use a large plate, then you are more likely to overeat and not realize it. Your dinner should fit within a 9-inch plate. Any plate bigger than this size is too large.
Keep track of the calories you consume. Simply purchase a cheap notebook. Turn the notebook into a statistical map of everything you consume. Write down the foods you eat, the number of servings you consume, and the number of calories contained in the food. This helps you stay on track of what you're eating and you can see all of your progress easier.
Cook your large meals on a weekend and freeze them in smaller portions. Having a freezer full of healthy food around will detour you stay away from ordering pizza or buying fast food. Bulk cooking also save you lots of money because you end up buying everything in bulk then using it all up. This will keep these things from going bad.
You may find it easier to maintain your healthier lifestyle if the entire family participates in the changes. By taking what you have learned in this article, you can find success. Start slow and remain committed to your goals.
When trying to eat nutritiously, do not start a fad diet. By using nontraditional diets that may be unhealthy, you are putting yourself in harm's way. The world of weight loss is constantly introducing new and improved diets that fade quickly over time. Even if these diet plans cause initial weight loss, they cannot create sustainable long-term fitness.

A paradox
naisu is the first of its kind - a story. The vision stems from life itself. The heartaches, headaches, pain and pleasures that we encounter every single day is what makes life so valuable. It's a story that we all share similarities in and thrive in together. We can't all be nice, we can't all be rude - but we have the ability to be a walking paradox, the best contradictions - the best of all worlds. Rebels, we call ourselves.
The personas and characters in the designs play a critical role that reflect life. It's open-ended and it's also direct and true in its form. What does it speak to you? We love to collaborate with artists. If there's an idea that's been on your mind for awhile, let's bring it to life! Drops us a note at firstname.lastname@example.com.

So I have wanted to create sculptures of my characters for a while and have finally figured out a way to do it. In the image you will see two cute individuals I have managed to carve out carefully. I still need to tweak them slightly but I am immensely happy with them. I have so many ideas, but in order to reign it back slight I think I will create pieces in series or following my guide in library of already created characters. They will be one of apiece kinds. I am excited to make more. I will also do some for commissions possibly, will see how I feel about that. Other news coming on a new venture. So will keep you posted. Spk soon. 😊
Alice and The Cat Video Process – Art by Beatrice Ajayi
Hi everyone, hope you all doing ok. I have been working on a variety of self directed projects. One of those projects I stumbled into. I decided to create some work in black and white sketchy style. It had been a while that I have done sketches as a focal point of my work. They are usually used as a stepping stool to colour work of late.
I sketched my first cutie and was inspire to create a series of Alice in wonderland sketchy drawings.
This is a link to the fourth in the series of work. You can find other process videos related to the Alice theme in my Youtube.com Channel under my name 'Beatrice Ajayi'
You can view the process here: Alice & The Cat
Painting and collaging papers
Afternoon all, I hope you are doing ok. I have been totally carried away painting since morning. These mixed media pieces are to be cut up for my 'spheres'I sell in my Etsy shop Arttizan. Posting from my website blog and sharing on FB. So if you wanna know what I am up to throughout. 2015, that's were I am. Have a fun day. 🙂
#3 What siblings do
New Art illustrations – 'What Boys Do'
Hi, hope you are well. I have been thinking recently of focusing on some work based on boys at play, I am calling the series 'What Boys Do'. It's been fun zooming in on these illustrations, usually I do a lot of girl characters. I have had ideas for these sketches for sometime. It's going to be a fun process. It will be good if I can produce at least 30 images. I already did this little cutie called 'Catch'
Angler Fish is My Favourite Animal
Morning, I thought I would share the art process for this little Angler a Fish. This is a digital painting done completely in procreate and my approach in colouring him in is slightly different. I usually use the colour black to sketch.
Image 1: I used a mustard colour to do the basic sketch of my little character. The animals in the favourite animal series Vary in size and I always try to make them flow together, the child and animal.
Image 2: here I start to add the colour of the fish. It's a kind of rust brown. My research revealed different dark tones that the angler fish has. I really liked this warmer colour. Once I know what colours I am using. It starts to create adventurous associate colours.
Image 3: for some reason a turquoise blue popped into my head. I tend to expand to the range of shades within a colour group. So in my next picture I add other blues to that particular section.
Image 4: I have added the skin tone. The rustic brown is also on the lower body area now and it's all about tying it all together.
Image 5: the Finished artwork. I have tried to take on the persona of the boy in tandem with the expected awkwardness and ugliness of the Angler Fish.
This is a video of the process on YouTube.
Hi folks, hope your day has been lovely. Recently I have been thinking about my art and what I am presently about. I feel that as the years go by as an artist, it's good to have a new look at my work. My values might have changed. My ideas may have shifted. But hopefully not so much that I loose myself. The plumb line self. My portraits still read as figures of innocence. I read the playfulness of childhood. The appreciation if nature. The physicality in dance. Representation of kids and family. More soon..

The basic characteristic of investment is that a stream of future cash flows follows accuracy outlay for a specified period. A rational investor would try to recoup his initial outlay from the cash flows in the quickest time possible during the economic time of the project.
Payback period may be defined as the number of years required to recoup or recover the initial investment from the generated cash flows. Since different projects have varying pattern and timing of cash flows, the projects will have a different payback period.
Decision criteria:
- In case of independent projects, the calculated payback period should be compared with standard-set by the company. If the calculated payback period is less than standard payback period, the project will be accepted otherwise rejected. For example, the project 'A' payback period is 3.5 years against standard payback period set by the company is four years. It should be accepted.
- In case of mutually exclusive projects, calculated payback periods of alternatives compared and the project which has lowest payback period is accepted.
Uniform cash flows:
If the proposed projects cash inflows are uniform the following formula can be used to determine payback period.
Non-uniform cash flows:
The second method is used when a project's cash flows are not uniform but varies from year to year. In such a situation, It is calculated by the process of cumulating cash flows till the time when cumulative cash flows become equal to the original investment outlay.
Merits of Payback Period:
- It is easy to compute, communicate and understand, so it has become a popular method of evaluation.
- This method is beneficial in evaluating those projects which involve uncertainty.
- This method makes it clear that no profit arises till the payback period is over. This helps the companies in deciding when they should start paying dividends.
- The management knows the length of the time for which funds are locked up.
- It is useful for ranking the projects which are equally desirable under the other methods of capital budgeting. The project with the shortest payback period gets priority in selection.
Demerits of Payback Period:
- The method ignores the returns generated by a project after its payback period, projects having long gestation period will never be taken up if this method is followed through they may yield high returns for a long period.
- The method doesn't take into account the time value of money.

Hey guys,
This is my Lisa, feel free to check it out:
Best wishes from germany
Would you be able to post a translation of the item description here?
Translated via Google Translate:
This is the unique Apple Lisa 1, the Twiggy Lisa. Experienced collectors know about the rarity of this historical computer. Just as rare as an Apple 1, Kenbak-1 or Xerox Alto. The number of surviving Lisa 1 is estimated at 50-100 pieces worldwide. I am an experienced collector and it took years of searching to find such a rarity. Now I give this chance to a serious collector to own the Holy Grail of Apple.
The condition of this Lisa 1 is documented as in the pictures. The case and all components are in uniquely good condition. I have never seen a Lisa in this condition. No scratches and no damage. Since this Apple has always been protected from UV radiation, the cosmetic state is almost unchanged. The case has a very nice bright and original color. So also the unique front panel that makes up a Lisa 1. Also, the optical condition of the boards and the drives is flawless.
The Lisa 1 started in a test run without problems. During a test of the drives, the floppy disk was ejected with an error message.
See pictures.
The Apple Lisa 1 computer is sold in this condition, exactly as described and documented on pictures.
Here are: Apple profiles, keyboard, mouse, manuals, floppy disks and The Lisa 1.
Clarify ambiguities please before making a purchase.
This is a private sale, not a return. No warranty.
If I were making a $50K purchase, I'd be hesitant to rely on Google Translate.
Hey thank you for the translation.
Google translation worked surprisingly well. That's exactly what I wrote.
Why don't you get the drive professionally repaired before selling the Lisa. A working set of twiggy in a Lisa-1 is would get more money. Also I'd suggest an auction house for the sale and not eBay if you want maximum value. I have an eBay search setup on my phone to tell me about any Lisa stuff and it didn't detect your sale because it was in Germany. This limits your potential buyers if eBay is not alerting on items outside of the potential buyers country or region.
Hello Corey,
thanks for the answer. I have a problem finding someone fixing the twiggies in my region. I know there is one man in the us fixing twiggies, but I don't know him. If it doesn't sell I might relist it at the international eBay site. I think the price is fair.
Another Lisa 1 has been listed on eBay, also from Germany:
Can't see the pictures from the old listing. Is this the same unit?
It's a different unit...not one I've seen listed anywhere before.
I ended up buying Sebastian's (Seb123) Lisa 1.

Here are some ways to keep yourself motivated to be active:
- Aim for a goal: It might be walking a certain distance or being active for a certain number of days a month.
- Try clipping on a pedometer to count your steps. These are available from sports shoe stores.
- You might like to try doing an event. There are lots of team events, "women-only" events and some "men-only" events designed for fun and participation.
- Track your progress by keeping an exercise log and recording your weekly activity. Write down what you plan to do and what you did – see below for ways of doing this.
- Get a friend or family member to be active with you – you'll have twice the fun and can encourage each other.
- Get some coaching or support like a personal trainer.
Get some more tips on how to stay motivated to exercise (HelpGuide).
Keep active during the cooler months using simple strategies from the Heart Foundation.
Owning a dog is another good way to stay motivated. A recent study found that regular dog walkers were more active on days with cold, rainy weather. They had 20 percent higher activity levels on days with the worst weather conditions and were more active for 30 minutes per day, compared to people who didn't have dogs.
Being regularly active can be challenging for many people. Motivation can drop off when the weather gets colder, an injury or sickness happens, or they get busy with other commitments like family or work.
The key to overcoming these motivational dips is to start with a habit that is so easy – so deliciously small – that it takes virtually zero motivation to do it. It's about reducing barriers and getting runs on the board.
Check out 10 helpful tips on how to make a new habit stick from the All Right? campaign.
Group exercise classes are a great way to get back on track if you haven't been active for some time. They are also great if you are looking for a supportive, friendly environment or if you need some personalised advice.
Find about small group support programmes like Be Active or Green Prescription.
There's a sport or recreational activity to suit everyone.

James Henry WILSON - 08/04/2016
James Henry WILSON
Hearing: 8 April 2016 via AVL from NZPB Head Office, [withheld]
Members of the Board:
Hon. JW Gendall QC – Panel Convenor
Judge JP Gittos
Assoc. Prof. P Brinded
Mr L Comer
In attendance:
Support People:
1. James Henry Wilson is serving a life sentence imposed on 16 February 2000 for the crime of murder. His parole eligibility date was 9 February 2013. He was convicted also of obstructing the course of justice arising out of manipulative actions in endeavouring to secure the help of a witness to induce an innocent man to confess for that crime. His crime was essentially the gang related execution of a woman.
2. He was last seen by the Parole Board on 30 April 2014 when parole was declined and a two year postponement order was made. Since then he made an application to review that decision, as well as an application under section 26 of the Parole Act 2002, both of which were declined.
3. There was a view expressed that Mr Wilson needed a lengthy period of reintegration. He had been engaged for quite some time working in the community gang but has had no other formal reintegration activities, such as Self Care, Release to Work or home leave. He and his counsel say this is because prison management's policy has determined that he is not eligible for those measures.
4. Mr Wilson has a RoC*RoI of 0.70954 and a total of 99 convictions since 1974. He is described as a high-risk high profile offender. He has completed Drug Treatment Unit and STURP rehabilitation programmes.
5. Through his counsel he seeks that parole considerations be deferred for a short time, that is a matter of months. It is said this will enable his application to be released to [withheld] to be assessed and determined. The submission is that, if that is granted and successful, he thereafter be released on parole to [withheld]. It is said that that is a necessary reintegration path.
6. We do not accept that proposition. He cannot be released on parole whilst he remains an undue risk to the safety of the community and the Board has to first make that decision and only if positive then may enable release to [withheld].
7. Mr Wilson has a total score on the psychopathy checklist (PCL:SV) above the average score found for New Zealand offenders and a higher score on factor 1 and factor 2. That is internationally recognised as relevant to assessment of risk though in itself of course does not determine the issue the Board is required to consider.
8. The psychologist's opinion in paragraph 17 of the report of 2014, before the postponement order was made, was that:
Mr Wilson remains at a high risk of violent offending although he has learned skills and developed insight that might mitigate this risk. His risk level will likely remain high until he has successfully demonstrated his ability to manage his behaviour in a consistent manner and over a prolonged period of time and across context.
9. At present the only context in which Mr Wilson has been able to provide such demonstration (and this may of course not be his fault), is work in the community gang.
10. The most addendum psychological report dated 20 March 2016 says that Mr Wilson:
Gave the impression that if there were difficulties during his parole he would be able to manage these on his own, however given assessment of his risk, this is not considered a reliable assertion, and is either somewhat naïve and/or indicative of avoidance of necessary parole oversight. It is of concern that Mr Wilson currently does not appear to be holding his future probation officer up as a potential valuable helper and support suggesting an overly independent approach to management on parole.11. The psychologist goes on to recommend in paragraph (29),
"That Mr Wilson continue to engage in reintegrative activities as he deepens his preparation and capability for effective management on parole."
12. The psychologist recommends that if a Release to Work opportunity were to be afforded to Mr Wilson,"That were this to take place that work placement would require engagement with others to facilitate co-operative skills for Mr Wilson." The psychologist records that it would be useful for Mr Wilson to continue with his community gang until he is prepared for his next step in the reintegrative process which tends to suggest that there are other reintegrative measures possibly on the horizon.
13. For the moment, however, Mr Wilson is not able to satisfy us that he is no longer an undue risk to the safety of the community. The Board is not able to grant him parole today.
14. We record that we have advised him that panel saw family members of the woman he murdered and conveyed to him their very strong view that he should not be released. He will be seen again in the week commencing 28 May 2017.
Hon. JW Gendall QC
Panel Convenor

Who is Toronto's Favourite Sports Media Bob:
Cole, mckenzie, bobcat, elliott
5th Bob McKenzie 4th Bob Elliott 3rd Bob McCown 2nd Bob Cole 1st Bob Bruton
Seriously? Bob Cajun, Bob Zyerunkle, Bob Berrann and Bob Infrapples.
1 – Cole, 2 – McKenzie, 3 – McCown, 4 – Elliot
Comment Deleted
Ah… UNCLE BOBBY.
Bob Loblaw
1. Bob Cole
2. Bob McKenzie
3. Bob McCowan
4. Bob Elliot
Bob McKenzie in a landslide.
(followed by Cole, McCowan, Elliot…in that order)
Bob McKenzie and Bob Cole.
Bob Weeks…concise ; on point;
Bob Mackowycz in the mix? What ever happened to him.
McCown edging Mckenzie.
Cole a very, very distant 4th. Iconic voice, great history, wonderful 'moments in time'. But I was done 4 years ago: no preparation, sneaks in from Nfld. on game day to get a couple of quotes, and that's all that passes for preparation. Mis-pronounciations galore. It's an indictment on Canada's inventory of play-by-play talent that Bob Cole is still going in his mid-eighties. Enough already.
Listening to Bob Cole is like listening to someone have a stroke and a heart attack at once.
How he's even allowed near a microphone anymore defies logic.
Yesterdays last two hours of PTS was wonderful radio –
It is segments like that make McCown my #1 Bob-
1. Bob McKenzie
2. Bob McCown
3. Bob Cole – higher 10 years ago
4. Bob Elliot – not on radio, though
3,712. Bob Dylan in concert.
I saw Mont's comment above and didn't know whether it was sarcastic or not. Against all instincts, as it was a Shannon/Cox edition, I did listen on podcast.
I would recommend it – everyone stayed on track and there was some good analysis. A pleasant surprise – hope it continues.
Just a quick change of subject, if that is alright.
In the "I'm glad this is an anonymous post" category…
1) I liked the Olympics.
2) Except for one or two albums, and bless Gord Downie, I don't like The Tragically Hip. Thanks for sharing that Peter Mansbridge digs them – nothing cooler than that.
Did anyone catch Ron MacLean's intro to the Hip concert? He was in Rio of course and it was classic MacLean, which reminded me why I have come to dislike him. A fast paced mish mash of who was standing next to him, morphing into Kingston and Don Cherry, with a seemingly abrupt turn to hockey and Jayna Hefford. It was mind numbingly bizarre. Even my wife asked me what the heck is he talking about.
Typical CBC…
I'm not a fan of the hip… actually, preferred the Northern Pikes. But I regress, wouldn't it have made perfect sense to have Strombo. instead of Ron MacLean?
Just saying…
@steve – – I thought the same thing too! About Strombo anyway… Would have been nice to see him get back on TV and be right in his wheel house. He could have introduced them from the stage which might have made a better intro.
I get what they were trying to do but it was obvious that the athletes had nothing to contribute when it came to talking about the hip which is probably why MacLean spent more time talking to them about being from Kingston than he did the band. It felt more like that old disco dance party show on TVO.
"What's your name and what school do you goto? Here's the beegees."
McCowan totally last

Positivity : The power of your words
Something I have learned throughout my life is that my tongue has a lot of power. James says the tongue is a spark that can set an entire forest on fire. And yet most times I forget. In the name of self depreciating jokes or being 'real', I get lost in spewing negative words. And I know am not the only one; we find ourselves saying things like 'it's ok I'm just average' and 'I don't care, I'm a savage.' And all this is in the name of being ok with who you are and being real. We forget that what we speak will always come to life, I mean…
26 important things I wish I knew in my teens(and still remind myself every so often)
So today I am going to share a list of things I wish I knew when I was a teen; things I have learned since turning 20 and things I have only recently come to believe. I had to write them because I still occasionally need a reminder on one or five of them and I really hope it helps someone today. This doesn't have to be lessons I wished for my teen self only, it can be lessons you learn for yourself today, whatever age you are, it can be something you print out and stick to your wall to remind yourself, it can be a list you share…
Knowing your self-worth
So self-worth, worthiness. Why is it that you always seem to run out of it? Why is this generation so disgruntled by themselves? How do you tell your self-worth? What do you do for acceptance? This post is about checking where your worth comes from and cementing the origin of worthiness.
It's about time
Time. It's the trickiest part of being human. There's no time to do what you want, there's all the time to do what you hate. We act like it's slipping away but live like we have forever. We act like there is a ticking clock and chase after the wrong things, things that cannot satisfy and yet we think we have all the time to do the things that matter; the 'little things'. You see, we take life as a competition when really it's really just a side by side road trip. So yeah, we chase things because we want to win and also win in the shortest time possible…

CAMBRIDGE — With the arrival of the cold months, the City of Cambridge has made its yearly preparation for the sheltering of homeless people. With its recent ribbon-cutting for the brand new House of Hope, the Salvation Army now provides 26 beds, the biggest piece of the pie in available shelter for the homeless. The Wesleyan Church also opens it doors to the homeless.
The federal government's definition of the homeless is an individual or family that resides in a place not meant for human habitation, or in an emergency shelter for a length of time. The individual or family head must have a serious condition such as diagnosable drug use disorder, serious mental illness, developmental disability, post-traumatic stress disorder, cognitive impairments resulting from a brain injury or chronic physical illness or disability. Veterans and young children are a part of the homeless profile.
The shelters operate from early evening for dinner, provide a night's sleep in a clean, warm place, and serve breakfast. Then the homeless must leave the shelter in the morning with a bag lunch. The winter day means back to the cold streets, the abandoned buildings, vehicles, stores and the library.
Many citizens object to the visibility of homeless people, because their shabby or unkempt appearance may discourage business or traffic in public places. In fact, to curb the presence of homeless people, other jurisdictions passed laws to prohibit loitering or sitting on public benches. But, because discriminating against the homeless is illegal, no one, not you, not me, not the town fathers who wrote the legislation, can sit or loiter either. That was not the answer, but a remedy had to be found.
Compassion and generosity supplied the answer in Cambridge when two concerned citizens, Sue Monaghan and Christine Barlow, approached Alan McRae of the Anchor Point Thrift Shop on Meadow Avenue. Together they arrived at a solution — a day center for the homeless. They sought the real estate savvy of Commissioner Gage Thomas. Many people know that the shelters can't provide round-the-clock access, but are not aware of the need for a place to spend the day.
Says Commissioner Thomas, "Winter doesn't operate on a 7 to 7 schedule, so when an Anchor Point Thrift Shop Board member approached me, fortunately I could direct them to a spacious house, a foreclosure in dire need of repairs in a commercial-zoned area that had been purchased by an investor."
Alan McRae saw the potential of the house. With its many rooms and an attached warehouse, it could provide a comfortable place to sit, talk, read, stay warm, have lunch … a safe place that enables the homeless to connect to services like mental health and addiction programs … a room where the families with homeless children can find school help, books, even kindness.
Having rented the neglected house from the willing landlord, the group recruited financial backers like the Robbins Foundation, the Elks Club, and private contributors. Besides money, Alan McRae has recruited a group of men (maybe women too) who will be arriving en masse in the next two weeks to perform a miracle. The foreclosed house needs new electric, new heating, new drywall, a laundry for washing clothes, showers for washing people, an entry with privacy, a porch … it's like one of those enormous makeovers on HGTV. The cleaners and carpenters, painters and plumbers, are all volunteers. Some are presently getting needed training. The lease has been signed, the workers have been scheduled.
If a foreclosed house can be transformed with people donating and laboring with purpose, certainly some of our homeless population may undergo a change too. Alan McRae, who also runs the Anchor Point Thrift Shop, says some of the homeless are ready to re-enter the working world and he envisions running programs to help them acquire skills like cosmetology, sewing travel bags, refinishing furniture, and other working skills.
Some local churches and private donors have already stepped forward and volunteered time and funds for the rehab. More volunteers will be needed when the house opens to receive the people who need it. For now, the location of the house is not being publicized lest people look for it and have to be turned away disappointed. But its doors will open soon, its hinges oiled by Cambridge's community concern and contributions.


text: On March 30th Ferrero International SA appointed Lapo Civiletti as its chief executive officer, effective September 1st. He will replace Giovanni Ferrero, who will take up the role of executive chairman at the chocolate maker. This is reportedly the first time that the Italian company will be headed by a person outside of its founding family. Mr Civiletti, whom the company called a "highly ranked internal leader", will be responsible for Ferrero's short- and mid-term goals, while Mr Ferrero will focus on the company's long-term growth and business expansion strategies. The change in leadership at Ferrero comes at a time when it is eyeing a larger share of the global chocolate market, of which it reportedly comprised about 10% last year. To that end, the maker of the Ferrero Rocher, Raffaello and Kinder chocolates has been on an acquisition spree for the past two years. Ferrero took over Oltan Group, a Turkish hazelnut supplier, in 2014, and followed it up with the acquisition of Thorntons Plc, a UK chocolatier, in 2015. In November last year, the company agreed to buy the Delacre and Delichoc biscuit brands from United Biscuits Ltd. In March, it agreed to acquire Fanny May Confections Brands in the US for US$115m. In 2016, Ferrero's sales reportedly increased by 8% to €10.3bn (US$11.3bn), in line with its expectations. The sales rise was driven by higher demand, mainly in Europe, for its Nutella spreads and Ferrero Rocher chocolates. Source: The Economist Intelligence Unit

Talk about a super simple side dish that is perfect for Easter, these 5 ingredient glazed carrots are everything you're looking for in a side dish everyone will love! These slow cooker glazed carrots are a great recipe for a crowd – even for people who don't normally love to eat their vegetables. They're slightly sweet with a salty crunchy topping of crumbled up butter crackers.
This recipe is so easy, seriously, I think Ben could almost make it on his own. Ok, maaayybe not yet, but it's just that simple. He also loves eating carrots, so this is a great kid friendly side dish!
I love using slow cooker/crock pot recipes when I'm cooking for the holidays. The days always seem to fly by and slow cookers make it that much easier to set it and forget it (plus it frees up precious oven space). For example, any time I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner, I use this recipe for a slow cooker sweet potato casserole. It reminds me of this carrot side dish because both are just super easy.
Last year, we were so excited to host Easter at our house. We were getting everything prepped the week before, cleaned the whole house, designed a tasty menu and then the plague hit our house. Everyone got sick. We obviously could not host and subject all of our family to this sickness, so we had to cancel and were super bummed. But you know what that means!? We're trying again this year! You best believe that this side dish is definitely on the menu. And, keep your eyes on the blog because I'll be sharing a dessert in the next week or so that is AMAZING and will definitely be my favorite part of the Easter menu.
A version of this recipe was originally shared with me by a friend whose grandmother would make glazed carrots with a buttery Ritz cracker topping on Thanksgiving. Growing up, we had an old family friend who made glazed carrots for every occasion, so I was familiar with glazed carrots, but the Ritz cracker topping, oh my goodness, it takes glazed carrots to a whole new level!
Using a slow cooker makes everything so much easier. In case you're curious, I use this slow cooker and it has been my trusty side kick for many years. I highly recommend it (I legit have two).
How to make 5 ingredient slow cooker glazed carrots with a ritz cracker topping:
- Put carrots, brown sugar and butter into a slow cooker/crock pot
- Cook on high for three hours, stirring halfway through
- Remove lid and stir
- Mix topping (crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter)
- Top carrots with buttery cracker crumbs, serve and enjoy!
Grab a slow cooker and make these delicious 5 ingredient crock pot glazed carrots side dish!
5 ingredient slow cooker glazed carrots with a buttery cracker topping, a super simple side dish that everyone will love! If you don't have baby carrots, you can use whole carrots, cut up into 1/2 - 1 inch chunks.
