Because sometimes it's a joint effort in daycare preparation for both the parent and child!
There are many milestones you face as a parent which makes life with a little one so bittersweet, and one of them may be the day you decide to place them in daycare. In a perfect world, we would be able to spend all of our time with our child and be there every waking moment in their development, but they need socialization apart from you to explore and navigate this new and exciting world!
Exploration, in addition to DC Common Core Standards, is a highlight of Community Education Research Group — whether your child is here for our child care services or our early education program! Dive deeper and step more confidently into placing your child in daycare in today's post!
Making the Step Towards Daycare
When a child turns one, this is a big milestone — they're walking, talking, and beginning to be more independent. They're making leaps in their language, motor, and social skills and exploration is a key feature of this age group.
It's also a great time to introduce them to daycare — here they're exposed to all kinds of people and stimulating activities that fulfill their need to learn and develop.
Having a toddler can be tough for parents to want to sign up for an outside daycare because, yes, toddlers are no longer babies, but they still require much care.
Transitions and milestones can be tough. Below are a couple of considerations to help prepare your little one for daycare.
Communicate the transition.
If your child has never been to daycare before, a month or so before the big day talk about it on a daily basis. Though they may not completely understand what's fully going on, it won't come as a complete shock. The more you can communicate about the transition, the more positive light can be shed on it.
Talk them through what will happen, for example: "I'll drop you off and you'll play and have a great time with all the teachers and other kids. You may have a snack and even a little nap and then I'll come and pick you up."
Always reinforce security, predictability, and reassurance and that you will always be there to get them at the end of the day.
Tour the daycare.
If it's possible, stop in a couple of times before they begin daycare and tour the facility. Walk them around the building and point out crucial areas and swing by to meet the teachers so they'll be a little more familiar with the people when they're there full time.
Foster a parting routine.
Every toddler will respond differently to saying goodbye and having to go to daycare — some are quite easy as they're excited and can't wait to get started with the day, while others are timid and don't want to separate from their parent or caregiver.
A goodbye routine can be as easy as giving them a big hug and kiss and reciting a cute mantra — the key to a good routine is to do it consistently, every time you drop them off.
There is much more to cover on preparing your child for daycare, so stick with us for part two!

Sarah & Luke // Colshaw Hall Wedding Film
Why did you pick Colshaw Hall and what makes it special to you?
We thought Colshaw Hall was a lovely country venue and had a secluded and personable feel to it. We're going for a subtle art deco vibe and the venue worked really well for this theme.
How did you meet each other?
We met at Luke's friend's birthday in Liverpool.
How about the proposal? Tell us everything!
We both went to Paris on a city break for 4 days. Sarah was convinced that a proposal was going to happen on this trip. We went to loads of touristy/romantic spots and they were all potential places for a proposal to be made. I kept Sarah waiting until the last night to take her to the Sacre Couer at the Montmartre. At this point Sarah thought that it wasn't going to happen, however I bent the knee with the view of the Eiffel tower and the entire city behind us lit up at night. And of course she said yes!
If you could describe each other in 5 words … what would these words be?
Luke (as described by Sarah) = Kind, Handsome, Thoughtful, Sweet, Mischievous / Sarah (as described by Luke) = Kind, Generous, Beautiful, Lovely, Daft!
How do you think your partner makes you better?
Our personalities and sense of humour are very similar so we are best friends as well as fiancees. We have different aspects of our lives that each of us is better at and therefore we work very well as a team. Sarah feels that Luke has helped her to become more worldly for example. Luke feels that Sarah has helped him to become more outgoing and sociable and generally more organised!
Are there any activities or hobbies you enjoy?
We both enjoy fine dining, travelling and spending time with friends.
What part of the wedding event is the most important to you?
The vows of course, but also ensuring that everyone enjoys themselves at the reception!

The short answer to this question is, "yes," but immigration law is never simple. If you are seeking residency in the United States, your criminal record could come into play, depending on the type of charge you faced and the outcome of your case. If you already have a visa or green card, a criminal conviction could initiate removal proceedings (deportation). A violation of immigration law can lead to deportation, but this isn't the only deportable offense. More specifically, you could lose your legal status in the U.S. for committing a "crime of moral turpitude." According to Merriam-Webster®, the word… Read More
On Thursday, December 22, 2011, the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration issued a notice to announce the new wage rates for temporary and seasonal nonimmigrant foreign workers in the U.S. under the H-2A visa program. These wage rates, known as the Adverse Effect Wage Rates (AEWRs), provide guidance regarding the minimum amount that foreign seasonal workers here on the H-2A visa program must be paid for their work so that the wages of similarly employed U.S. citizens will not be adversely affected. The notice took effect on December 22; wage rates can be seen at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-12-22/pdf/2011-32842.pdf.

Yarn: Patons Cotton Blend 8 Ply
Composition: 50% Cotton 50%Acrylic
Weight: 50g
Length: 95m
Gauge: 22sts 30 rows
Needle: 4mm, UK8, US 6
Care: Machine Wash (Gentle Cycle), or Hand Wash. Do not Bleach or Tumble Dry. Dry Flat in Shade. Warm Iron. Dry Cleanable.
Manufactured: Made in China
Price: S$6.99
This is my first working yarn and I made a scarf with it. I'll wear it in London (the flight is tomorrow! Hooray!) and let's see if it'll keep me warm! It does keep my lap pretty warm when I knit in an air-con room, so I don't think that'll be a problem. I like the feel of the yarn. It works well, has a weight to it that makes it feel expensive, and the colors are really bright and colorful! I have another set of blue ombre colors to make another scarf, and I am using the leftovers to knit Penelope a striped blanket. I haven't washed it or anything, and I'll update here after I wash it to see if the colors run or stay the same. I knit the scarf with a 3.75mm needles instead of a 4mm as suggested. I do wish the that yarn was a bit longer than 95m though.
I realise that I do like cotton, so I'll be buying more cotton yarn and testing to see how they feel. I've got plenty of yarn and needles in transit! Absolutely can't wait! 🙂
Updated: 28 March 2015
I've worn my scarf to London and am very happy to announce that it is really great at keeping me warm. It did shed some on my jacket, which is a little annoying (but perhaps I should have washed it before I worn it? I had noticed this shedding when I knitted in bed, and found that the red yarn would shed on my bedsheets. The other colours don't have this tendency though.
It also held up to my handwashing after I came back. It was less a handwash than a soak-in-the-water-and-step-on-it-then-wring-it-dry event. I have no idea how to wash them by hand otherwise. It feels much better after I wash it. It feels… clean.

Even better than i had expected, all i can is job well done as i am very impressed with the outcome after waiting patiently for the handling time, now i can carry on being b-man. Thank you!
This cowl is awesome. It's a bit large for me, but it makes it really comfortable and easy to put on and out. The first thing you notice is the high quality of the materials used and the total resemblance of the cartoons' mask. It's really worth the expense.
This cowl is amazing! When I first opened the box, it blew me away with the quality and accuracy of the look. I'm very happy with my purchase, and recommend Tigerstonefx for anyone looking for a cowl. I'm now considering on getting their gauntlets. I can't wait to go to Cons as my favorite Batman.
This Batman cowl is a great work of craftsmanship! It has no flaws and is very accurate with the sleek, 1992-animated-Batman design. The time it took to make it was exactly the lead time stated in the product page, and between shipping to delivery (to Ecuador) it only took 5 days!!! :) So I'm also very pleased with the punctuality of Tanja and Nate and the shipping service. Excellent work TigerStoneFX!

Porter Cable Table Saw
"The times, they are a changing". Bob Dylan was a lot ahead of his time. He wrote his songs for the future. So many years have passed, but even now, he stands correct. The times have indeed changed, and mostly, it has changed for the better. The modern society has broader perspectives, the point of views and opinions. People now are open to more new and changed things. For instance, people used to laugh at an individual for owning wireless products. But in due time they realised the benefits of wireless products and aspired to make more pre-existent products wireless for portability and convenience. This brings us to our topic of discussion today, job site table saw. Even though job site tables still require chords, they've still become lighter and more carriageable. Which brings us to the product of the day, Porter Cable Job Site Table Saw – PCB220TS.
It is fantastic to have a portable saw that you could just fold up and carry from here to there. But it is tough to decide how good it is if it doesn't produce an excellent final cut. The porter cable table saw may appear to be a little pricey, but if you introspect on the features and quality, the price is really on the cheaper spectrum. This saw packs all the elements of a more expensive set, but one wouldn't know before doing one's research.
Some of the critical features of this job site Porter cable table saw are as follows.
This is necessarily for the people who are new in the arena. Before buying a product, it is essential to know what you must expect from it. With light to this, we will proceed with the factors that must be kept in mind!
These are the key factors that one needs to keep in mind because if these criteria are passed, then the saw is good to use and purchase.
Even in portability, this machine is ahead of the rest. But what about the purpose it is primarily built for? Let's discuss it's capabilities as a saw.
Safety is one of the most basic necessities when it comes to machines like these. We can't let anyone buy the thing we're endorsing without giving out the full information. Thus, we proceed to see how safe this machine is.
The product, as we've already noticed, is impressive. And the key features have already been highlighted. But now we proceed to the basic stats of the Porter Cable table saw.
The table is made of coated cast-aluminium that allows you to feed more extended stocks with ease. The blade is carbide-tipped and hence stays sharper for a more extended period for maximum accuracy and efficiency. When cutting lumber to install hardwood floors or cabinets, The 16 inch right rip capacity and 8 inch left rip capacity can comfortably accommodate more substantial pieces. The secure lock rip fence goes ahead and promotes clean, accurate cuts in a variety of different materials. The lockable on-off switch helps in preventing accidental activation. The package includes a table saw, a portable stand, a rip fence, an adjustable mitre gauge, blade wrenches, push stick and tungsten carbide tipped blade.
The machine does not run on a battery but is electrically powered by a chord. The total package weighs 250 pounds. On the flip side, the device is considerably loud and maybe of inconvenience to some.
We hope we have provided the utmost insight and given every information you can possibly need. And we are sure you have some questions that need answers. So we have come down to the FAQ section to clarify the basic and generic doubts.
Can the parts of the porter cable table saw be changed with other brand parts?
The company has made the product with specific brand products only to provide what's the best for you. But if you have better knowledge and idea about such machines and are confident about your choices, then you can surely go ahead with the replacement procedures. But you need to keep in mind that the company would not take any responsibility for the damage of the product.
How is heavy duty the Porter Cable Table Saw?
The Porter Cable Table Saw is perfect for simple usage. Even at high rates, it will function well. But it can't be expected to work the same in a more industrial setting.
The price is meagre as compared to the more prime products available, is it worth the buy?
Yes. The price is on the lower side when compared to the more branded ones, but it is done so keeping in mind the affordability and need of the people. Many people don't get to purchase what they aspire to due to a strict budget or a financial crunch. But this saw is affordable and includes attractive features that are similar to the more pricey ones. And functions just fine.
Do I get a trial period?
The product is sold online thus it is difficult to attain a trial. But maybe by requesting the seller, some arrangements can be made. It entirely depends on the seller.
Why should I buy a product of Porter?
Porter is a trusted brand that offers best quality products at affordable prices. The brand has served a significant base of happy, content, and satisfied customers for a long time and is sure to give you the quality you deserve the most. These are the exact causes why should buy this product.
All this while, we have put forward what the company is about and what the product is about. But now, it'll be beneficial to read what the buyers have to say. Here we move on to the buyers' review!
I've had this product for three years now and counting. In general, I am happy with the accuracy of the fence, maintenance of settings and power systems. But there are a few problems to be addressed. The issues observed include:-
A flimsy plastic housing to which the vacuum line is attached.
The arbour height adjustment mechanism that comes loosened over time.
Failure of the overload switch requiring replacement with a higher end product.
The mitre gauge is okay for the price.
I'd rebuy it, but the availability of replacement parts is an issue I've had, and I'm yet had to deal with.
I bought the machine about a year back. The overall problem with this Table Saw as per my experience was with the warranty and repair. Once I tilted the blade to a 45-degree angle, the blade would not return to 90 degrees and was jammed. The screw drive would pop out of the threads and would not adjust later on. I called the Porter Cable after facing these inconveniences in a recurring fashion, and they gave me a listing of repair facilities in my area. I had to take it to the repair shop and dropped it off. I waited not a month but three months. And yet the repair shop gave me the runaround. I was told the parts are on back order. Well, I was not served the truth at all. A company that makes Porter Cable also produces 7 other brands of saws. The parts that I needed were no longer being made, and they did not know if and when the parts would ever be manufactured again. My saw was only four months old when it broke. I went back to the repair shop, picked up my saw, took it back to Lowes and got a refund done. It also had real cheap wing extensions. All I'm trying to say is. If it breaks, you can't get it fixed!!! Other than that I liked it before it broke.
I have owned this saw for a couple of years now, and it has worked quite well for me. The only major complaint I had was the mitre gauge. It always had a little shakiness where the two pieces were joined together. Porter cable was courteous enough to replace it with a brand new mitre gauge, and it did the same thing all over again. I took charge and just replaced it with a good quality gauge and am glad I did so finally. Another feature I greatly admire will be the attached wheels. My workshop is pretty small when it comes to the wideness of the shop. So when I am not ripping great material, I turn the saw sideways and can walk around without the saw creating any problems or obstacles. I can do about 90 percent of my cuts that way. I also found the on-off switch position to be in a very advantageous spot. I have the liberty to bump it with my knee to turn the saw off while not letting loose the grip on my material. I don't usually cut any real thick material, so I do not have any problems cutting what material I am running through the saw. Most of the things that I do is one by one, and the maple is the most robust material to cut. But I do not have a problem with it. I use a good quality thin kerf blade.
I have had a Craftsman and a couple of small portable table saws before. But this is a beautiful machine with lots of power and little vibration and noise. This is both a blessing and a curse. Table saws are scary loud, but this one is so quiet that you forget how powerful it is. The mitre gauge is very accurate, and the fence slides are. I particularly like the little pedal underneath the saw. This pedal raises it up and puts it on castors so you can move it around. Very convenient and innovative. Surely worth the money and better than the products available in this range.
And with this, we close the chapter of reviews. The product is a masterpiece which's details are entailed in this review with the hope of it being of utmost help to you! Let us know how much you enjoy your saw, and we hope you get the value of the price you pay!
Until next time.
Goodbye. For more post like this : Trendingx

France defender Adil Rami is revelling in his role as team joker even though he has had no playing time at the World Cup in Russia.
Rami believes he still has a vital role to play although he is unlikely to line up against Uruguay in Friday's quarterfinal in Nizhny Novgorod.
"My role is to try to bring positive waves to the team. I also bring my qualities, my character, my mental strength," he told a news conference at the French training base outside of Moscow on Wednesday.
"I try to make youngsters in the squad understand that talent is not enough and that we will need to be ready to suffer and to fight."
The 32-year-old is one of just three players in the 23-man squad yet to be fielded in the tournament by coach Didier Deschamps.
"For a defender, it's always difficult to break into the team, especially if the defence is doing well," he said.
"But I'm fine, I'm not frustrated, I see the positive of my situation. In a country of 66-million people, I am one of 23 selected to go to the World Cup.
"It's a great opportunity and before every game, I hope with all my heart that Raph (Varane) and Sam (Umtiti) do not have any problems.
"It's no matter if I don't get any playing time. If we go through to the end of the tournament, I will be as delighted as the others. I do not have to be moody."
Rami said team spirit was high as France prepared to travel to the match venue.
"I have rarely liked a bunch of players as much. I worry about saying that because there could be a boomerang if we lose.
"What is great about this squad is that there are experienced players as well as very young players. Yet there are no clans. We all get along with each other. The older ones joke with the youngsters. There is respect but no barriers," he added.

For many years as a kid, we had "budgies" or as they were more often called here, "parakeets". Wonderful cheerful social little pets.
I now have a tropical parakeet (species??) but it's a bit quieter:
Okay, a little strange. Taxidermy was a Victorian hobby (especially for women!). All sorts of birds ended up under glass domes, including the family pet. Also, one might other family pets including dogs! They were also done by professional taxidermists as well. I suspect that was the instance here. Amazing artificial rocks, dried plants, painted background, etc. What makes this unusual is that rather than being under a dome, it was instead placed in a silver leafed vitrine to be hung on a wall. By the way, I call him Harry after my last parakeet/budgie, "Pretty Harry".
I was hoping for some movement at the station since perhaps the colt from old regret may have gotten away.
Still, as it is. It was worth parroting on about
Talk is "cheep"?
if it is for the birds, yeah.

Country Ham Biscuits with Red Eye Gravy
It doesn't get much more Southern than this—country ham with biscuit and traditional red eye gravy.
Preheat oven to 425°F. In a medium bowl, combine biscuit mix and water; stir until blended. Drop 5 equal portions onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake until tops are crispy and golden brown, about 11 minutes. Meanwhile, place ham in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until both sides are browned, about 8 minutes. Pour coffee into skillet to deglaze pan, stirring to make sure any particles that have stuck to the skillet are loosened. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Split biscuits in half and place a slice of country ham between halves. Dip in the red eye gravy.

These procedures apply to all complaints filed under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, relating to any program or activity administered by the City of Omaha or its sub-recipients, consultants and/or contractors. Intimidation or retaliation of any kind is prohibited by law.
Persons Eligible to File: any individual or group of individuals, or entity who believes that he or she or any specific class of persons has been subjected to discrimination or retaliation prohibited by any of the Civil Rights authorities based upon race, color, national origin, age, sex, or disability may file a written complaint.
Discrimination: an act (or action) or inaction whether intentional or unintentional, through which a person in the United States, based on race, color, national origin, age, sex or disability has been subjected to unequal treatment under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
Filing a Complaint
- Complaints may be filed by the affected individual or a representative of that individual.
- Complaints must be in writing and contain as much information as possible about the alleged discrimination. The City of Omaha has prepared a Complaint Form
to be used for the convenience of the complainant. The written complaint should include:
- Complainant's name, address and telephone number
- A detailed description of the issues
- Name and job titles of individuals perceived as parties in the complaint
- Complaints received by telephone will be reduced to writing and provided to the complainant for confirmation or revision, and signature before processing.
- Complaint forms can be submitted online or by contacting the City of Omaha Human Rights and Relations Assistant Director. Complaints and/or substantiating information should be sent to:
Gerald M. Kuhn, II
Title VI Coordinator
City of Omaha Human Rights and Relations
1819 Farnam Street, Suite 502
Omaha, NE 68183
(402) 444-5055

NEW DELHI: A long-standing debate was resolved yesterday when a new Nasa-led study confirmed that natural forests in the Amazon remove more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than they emit.
This means that the 5.5 million square kilometer forest is a crucial factor in reducing global warming.
Living trees take carbon dioxide out of the air as they grow, and dead trees put the greenhouse gas back into the air as they decompose. Since there was no estimate of how many trees die of natural causes in the Amazon forest, scientists were unclear of the whole equation. The new study, published in Nature Communications on March 18, is the first to measure tree deaths caused by natural processes throughout the Amazon forest, even in remote areas where no data have been collected at ground level.
The seven-year study was led by Fernando Espirito-Santo of Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and included scientists from US, UK, Brazil, Peru and Australia.
Using new techniques to analyze satellite and other data, they found that each year, dead Amazonian trees emit an estimated 1.7 billion metric tons of carbon to the atmosphere. To compare this with Amazon carbon absorption, the researchers used censuses of forest growth and different modeling scenarios that accounted for uncertainties. In every scenario, carbon absorption by living trees outweighed emissions from the dead ones, indicating that the prevailing effect in natural forests of the Amazon is absorption.
Until now, scientists had only been able to estimate the Amazon's carbon balance from limited observations in small forest areas called plots. On these plots, the forest removes more carbon than it emits, but the scientific community has been vigorously debating how well the plots represent all the natural processes in the huge Amazon region. That debate began with the discovery in the 1990s that large areas of the forest can be killed off by intense storms in events called blowdowns.
Correlating satellite and airborne-instrument data with ground observations, Espirito-Santo and his colleagues devised methods to identify dead trees in different types of remotely sensed images. For example, fallen trees create a gap in the forest canopy that can be measured by lidar on research aircraft, and dead wood changes the colors in a satellite optical image. The researchers then scaled up their techniques so they could be applied to satellite and airborne data for parts of the Amazon with no corresponding ground data.
This study looked only at natural processes in Amazonia, not at the results of human activities such as logging and deforestation, which vary widely and rapidly with changing political and social conditions.

Rogozin's game with the Mistrals
On two separate occasions (25 January and 5 February), the Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, who oversees the military-industrial complex, questioned the sense of Russia buying Mistral amphibious assault ships from France.He alleged that the ships are unsuitable for operation in Arctic waters (due to their poor resistance to low temperatures), and that they use types of fuel which are not produced in Russia (as they use technology which is only available in NATO countries). Meanwhile, on 1 February, work began in France on assembling the hull of the first of the two Mistrals Russia has ordered (construction started in February 2012), and the Baltiysky Zavod shipyard in St. Petersburg (which is cooperating in the construction) confirmed that this summer it will deliver the aft section of the ship, which was built in Russia, for assembly.
- Rogozin's critical statements, which are based on the arguments of opponents to the 2011 contract, are primarily addressed to the conservative part of the establishment, who are reluctant to co-operate with the West. These are mainly retired military figures, who are an important socio-political factor in Russia; they have been trying to regain influence over the reforms to the RF Armed Forces since the defence minister was replaced last November. Rogozin is assuming the mantle of defender of Soviet traditions (in recent days, he also spoke in favour of restoring Volgograd's old name of Stalingrad, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the battle), and supporter of a 'superpower' policy. To what extent he has been assigned this role as part of the ruling team in Russia, and to what extent this is his own attempt to build an independent position in the elite, remains an open question.
- Rogozin's statements can be regarded as part of the negotiation strategy before the next round of Russian-French talks on military-technical cooperation (scheduled for 14-15 February). Russia is aiming to give its shipbuilding industry more modern technologies, access to which was probably the main reason for buying the Mistrals. Evidence of this includes the issue (raised on 5 February) of Western fuel production technologies. The tone of Rogozin's statements can also be seen as a challenge to the status of the strategic Russian-French partnership; it shows the French side's relative weakness in its relations with Russia. From the economic point of view, the contract to build Mistrals is much more important for Paris than it is for Moscow; the order for the two ships, estimated at €1.2 billion, has removed the threat of bankruptcy from one of France's biggest shipyards, DCNS in Saint-Nazaire.
- We should not assume that the construction of the Mistral warships for the Russian navy – although there is still no real military justification for it – is under any threat. This is principally demonstrated by the relatively strong involvement of the Russian shipbuilding industry, and the benefits which will arise from the acquisition of new technologies. However, Rogozin's statements have called the construction of two more ships into question; the Russian-French agreement of June 2011 was for a total of four ships to be constructed, but the Russian Federation Ministry of Defence has so far only ordered the two Mistrals. Initially, the purchase of further units had been postponed to the next decade, but now the decision to construct them will depend on how the operation of the first two ships turns out.

About us
The Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience (ICN) supports research exploring the biological bases of human behavior. ICN was founded in 2018 to promote interdisciplinary studies in cooperation with departments of psychology, linguistics, electrical engineering, and computer science, among many others.
Using tools like eye tracking, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and neuroimaging (EEG, MEG, fMRI), we examine the neural mechanisms of human behavior, cognition, and social interaction. Our goal is to advance the empirical study and theoretical understanding of cognition and communication from an interdisciplinary perspective.
The Institute offers masters and doctoral programs in cognitive and brain sciences. It organizes a weekly colloquium, a journal club, a summer school, and various conferences. ICN regularly hosts institute fellows and extended visits by internationally acclaimed scholars.
ICN supervises one of the most popular interdisciplinary masters programs on campus: Cognitive Sciences and Technologies: From Neuron to Cognition. This program provides a broad curriculum in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, computational neuroscience, and neurotechnology.

For Immediate Release: Contact:
October 8 2012 Mayor Mary Foster, (914) 720-4644
Paying for Albany Pension Mandate of $4.5 Million –
Now Double Amount Paid in 2010 – Will Require
Difficult Decisions
Failure of Albany to Rein In Pension Costs and Unfunded Mandates Crippling Local Budgets
Foster: Albany's Failure to Get Control of Pension Costs
Is Falling on the Backs of Peekskill Taxpayers and
Our Workforce
Peekskill, NY — Mayor Mary Foster and the Peekskill Common Council blast New York State for its failure to get control of the sky-high increases in mandatory pension payments required from Peekskill. Pointing to the City Manager's proposed 2013 budget, Mayor Foster explains that Peekskill has been collecting about $50 million in revenues in recent years but payments to Albany in 2013 will be over $4.5 million, having doubled since 2010. "This situation forces very difficult choices in keeping taxes low and maintaining city services," Mayor Foster said.
"The shame is – Albany's continued failure to slow down these skyrocketing costs forces higher taxes and reduced services on Peekskill taxpayers. Instead of actually doing something about these skyrocketing costs, Albany operates as if municipalities are ATM machines that endlessly dispense local cash to cover their failure to control costs."
Up until now and despite these debilitating increases, the City protected taxpayers and the local workforce by freezing management salaries, consolidating services, and reducing perks and management benefits. Additionally, the City mitigated the impact of the economic recession on city revenues by: using some reserves; keeping the tax burden on local property owners well below regional averages; and maintaining city services.
Unfortunately, Albany's 2013-2014 pension mandates – a whopping $4.4 million and $5 million respectively – made it impossible to continue this delicate balance. As a result, the City Manager's proposed budget calls for a reduction in the City's full-time workforce of 31 employees.
"Our legislators and Governor need to realize that their failure to act is going to directly result in job losses in the City of Peekskill," said Deputy Mayor Drew Claxton. "The members of our local work force are a vital part of our community. These workers are our neighbors, our colleagues and our friends, and it infuriates me that some of them will lose their jobs because of Albany's negligence."
"Through the ongoing budget review process, our number one goal will be to minimize the impact of these cuts to direct service delivery and focus instead on trimming overhead and administration," said Councilwoman Marybeth McGowan. "Unfortunately, while we didn't make this mess, we're the ones who have to clean it up."
Over the next 60 days, the Mayor and Council will be meeting with department heads and the City Manager to prepare a final budget for adoption. The City must adopt a final budget by December 1.
Peekskill's payments to the state pension fund for 2011-2013 will total $11.5 million; this is almost double the $6 million paid for 2008-2010. "The compounded effect of these uncontrollable increases is not sustainable," said Mayor Foster.

Teaming again with Lalive to defend the Romanian government in weighty investor-state claimsBottom of Form
|People in Who's Who Legal
|People in Future Leaders
|Pending cases as counsel
|Value of pending counsel work
|US$8.2 billion
|Treaty cases
|Current arbitrator appointments
|6 (of which 4 are as sole or chair)
|Lawyers sitting as arbitrator
This highly regarded Romanian firm was set up in 2005 as an arbitration boutique – then called Leaua & Cadar – headed by Crenguta Leaua. She is a former vice president of ICC Romania and has been a vice president of the ICC Court since 2015.
Less than a year after it was launched, the firm defended the Romanian government in an ICSID case alongside Swiss firm Lalive, a collaboration that has continued. The firm is acting for Romania in three pending investment treaty arbitrations, others having successfully concluded.
Apart from investment treaty matters, Leaua & Asociatii's arbitration practice these days spans environmental and energy-based disputes, construction, infrastructure and public law, as well as intellectual property and tax areas.
Several of its lawyers are listed as arbitrators in various arbitral centres in Romania and abroad, while the firm's senior partner, Stefan Deaconu, was appointed president of the arbitration court at Romania's Chamber of Commerce and Industry in 2015.
Who uses it?
Romania is a regular client at ICSID, while its ministry of public finances, a state-owned hydropower company and a state-owned road company have used it in some ICC matters.
Private clients in ICC cases include telecoms operator UTI Systems, and US engineering and construction company Louis Berger.
Track record
In 2013, Leaua & Asociatii and Lalive succeeded in knocking out a US$139 million ICSID claim brought against Romania by a Dutch investor in the Rompetrol oil refinery business. The tribunal declined to award any damages even though it found irregularities in the state's conduct of a criminal investigation.
Two years later, the same co-counsel team defeated the bulk of a €440 million ICSID claim brought against Romania by US citizen Hassan Awdi and his companies concerning an investment in a press distribution business and a boutique hotel. The tribunal awarded the claimants only €8 million plus costs.
The firm has successfully defended a Bulgarian client against a claim by a French-owned company heard in Vienna, which related to the client's alleged failure to comply with antitrust aspects of an M&A deal; and won an ICC case for Israel's Poldmir Construction against a Romanian state rail company.
Leau & Asociatii has also helped Italian clients defeat a claim by a Romanian party for consultancy fees in the form of a 35% stake in a major steel company in Romania.
Recent events
The firm continues to work with Lalive to defend Romania in two ICSID cases – a US$4.4 billion claim brought by Canadian gold mining company Gabriel Resources; and a claim filed by Sweden's Micula brothers over Romania's alleged failure to police the alcohol black market.
It acted for Romania's largest hydropower generation company in two ICC cases. In the first, it defeated an US$11.5 million claim by a Swiss contractor concerning the upgrade of a hydro plant. In the second, it defeated a German company's request for conservatory measures to prevent the cashing of bank guarantees worth US$9 million, before helping the parties reach a settlement.
Another win was for a Romanian businessperson, for whom it won the early dismissal of a US$11 million ICC claim on jurisdictional grounds.
Pending cases include an ICC claim brought on behalf of a Romanian contractor against a Yemeni respondent over the construction of a hospital. The client has already prevailed on preliminary issues.
Client comment
Remus Borza, from Romanian insolvency firm Euro Insol, tells that Leaua & Asociatii produced "quality" work and "definitely led the hearing" in a case where the firm represented an insolvent client of his. "Whereas the other party's attorneys and experts were inconsistent in their declarations and inappropriately ill-tempered, the team from Leaua acted totally professionally and was well prepared for all the key points of the case," he says.

Today, we at Tuenti are introducing a new phonebook contact profile design for customers in Argentina, Ecuador, Spain and Peru that gives greater importance to the information that our customers share with their contacts.
So, in addition to introducing a much simpler and more visual design, the customer can access photos shared with that contact via chat and the history of their saved calls from a single screen, as well as inviting them to download the app if they don't already have it in order to enjoy unlimited Tuenti to Tuenti calls and chat.
And, as always, there will still be shortcuts from the contact profile to chat and calls, both on Tuenti (free) and VozDigital.
This design is now available on Android and on the web, and will soon be available on iOS devices as well.
.Tuenti has changed a great deal in recent years: we have gone from being Spain's largest social network to become a digital operator which is a standard-bearer for innovation, is always at the service of our customers to facilitate and enhance their communication, and which currently operates in 5 countries.
The reason for this change lies in the fact that the profile of our users has evolved dramatically during this time, with the priority now on direct communication between people - mainly through VozDigital - but also on the other communication features and products that we offer.
In our mission to enhance people's communications, we wanted to look at things from another perspective and we started working on a new version of the application with three very clear objectives:
This process made us completely rethink the structure of the information and all the elements that make up our app, and led us to approach the development of the new version as if it were a completely new application, where we should only include things that comply with the principles we had defined. And so, after great teamwork involving the whole company, today we present the new version of our new application!
As part of this revamp, this new version of the app enables our users to reminisce about old times by offering the ability to create a video with the most popular photos from their .Tuenti experience which they can share on social networks. In addition, we provide the option to download all the photos in a ZIP file sorted by folders, one of the most requested features.
What's more, we are giving away 50 free VozDigital minutes so that all those users can get to know the company's new reality. Without needing to change operator or become a .Tuenti client, anyone can have their phone number in the cloud, in an app, so that you can use it on any device (phone, computer or tablet) to make calls to national and international landlines and cell phones, even without your SIM card and without GSM coverage (via a WiFi network). Whichever operator you're with.
Update the .Tuenti app and you're done!
Tuenti users with iPhone can now update their app and enjoy new features such as Moments with more activity in real-time and the ability to send multi-photo messages through chat.
Moments with more activity in real-time allow users to see who is checking out the same Moment they are, at the same time. This feature, which is also available for Tuenti users with Android, makes communication among users even more constant, and they won't have to go back to the side menu in order to see notifications for friends' Moments, making the whole experience even more real.
Additionally, with version 3.6 of Tuenti for iPhone, users can no share up to 10 photos at a time in their chat conversations, whether they're having one-on-one conversations or within a group.
And, as an extra for Tuenti Móvil clients, this new version includes notifications related to account management: alerts for new voicemail messages, top-ups for credit and data, etc. Everything is in the very same app, simplifying the user and client experience because Tuenti loves simple! ;)
Today, we present the new version of the Tuenti app for Android that is full of new functionalities. Version 3.0 includes, among others, a new functionality for sharing photos quickly and simply on Tuenti directly from your smartphone's photo gallery, as well as photo albums created through group chat conversations and a new and more simplified notifications center.
We're still working hard to provide high-quality products and services with added value. We'll be back with more news soon!

Coronation Street star Kym Marsh is reportedly worried that her fiancé will face more infidelity claims.
Earlier this week, Jamie Lomas was accused of kissing carer Katie Moores in his hotel suite after a night out.
"Now that one person has come forward, Kym's worried that the floodgates will open and more will come crawling out of the woodwork. Kym and Jamie are managing to put on a brave face in public," a source told The Mirror.
"But she is telling her mates she fears it will only be a matter of time before more girls try to cash in by claiming they've also had flings with Jamie.
"Jamie's been away in LA with his mates and he has been partying quite a lot. Nobody recognises him out there, unlike here, where he's likely to be caught out on anything he does."
Marsh, who plays Michelle Connor in Corrie, was recently forced to deny claims that she had been abandoned by Lomas as he looked for work in LA.

The Migrant Liter@cies Toolkits will be drafted by a group composed by partners (media education experts, researchers, teachers and adult education experts), using methodologies, ideas and suggestions emerged during the LTT Activities and thanks to the 44 experimental workshops made by all partners.
The workshops will be made up of various activities to be carried out with adult migrants from January to April 2019.
Each workshop will stand-alone and will have 6 hours duration and objectives, so that teachers, trainers or educators could use various workshops by combining them in different ways according to their curriculum objectives.
The workshops focus on the effective and creative use of the new media and apps in literacy learning, development of innovative methodologies for the integration of media and digital literacy in the education of migrant adults; social inclusion and development of social, civic, intercultural competences; media literacy and critical thinking; and the integration into new "digital citizenships".
To understand what happens in the experimentations here some examples of workshops that will be conducted in Italy by Fo.Co. Network and were developed by Centro Zaffiria:
The workshop aims to discover new words exploring newspaper and pictures. From a newspaper text, migrants will choose attractive words with the idea to discover new meaning and to compose new sentences to express feelings and ideas or impressions. The last part of the workshop is external where citizens and migrants will paint together starting from newspaper pictures chosen by migrants.
The workshop aims to help refugees to create their personal pictionary thanks to a specific app developed from Zaffiria. With the app, student can take a photo, register sound and write new words. A personal or specific dictionary can be created with their personal mobile phone all the day long. With this tool, students will design a common pictionary on the LDAs (Learning Didactic Unit) teachers are developing.
The workshop aims to create a videogame to test linguistic new discoverings. Combining analogical and digital activities, migrants will prepare their own digital play activities.

Check if your page implements responsive design functionalities using the media query technique. The '@media' rule allows different style rules for screen sizes. Media query techniques allow different presentation and content to be served depending on the output device, helping ensure that your website renders optimally on all devices and platforms.
Media queries allow you to style elements for specific devices (smartphones, tablets, desktop computers) by using attributes like width, height, resolution, aspect ratio, orientation or color. By using media queries, presentations can be tailored to a specific range of output devices without changing the content itself.
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 960px)"
href="480-960.css" />
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 960px) {
#header {
display: none;
A @media rule specifies the target media types of a set of statements. In the example above, we are specifying the media type screen. The max-width and min-width features are telling the browser that at any screen size larger than 480px, but smaller than 960px, hide any elements with id="header".

How nice, when parents and children share the same hobbies. To ensure that the fun begins as soon as the journey does, we built the child seat Salia. It is even more comfortable and ergonomic than its predecessor. The 360 degree rotation allows parents to place their child in an ergonomic position while strapping them in or removing them from the vehicle. Turning the seat to one side is child's play. And the best thing: one hand is kept free – to hold onto their favourite toy perhaps.

Is the Salia compatible with my vehicle?
Please always check your car's manual for possible notes/instructions/prohibitions from the manufacturer regarding the use of child seats in your car!
Sorry, this seat is not approved for your vehicle.
Reasons for denied approval can be:
- Limited space for the child seat
- 3-point-belt is too short
- After fixation at the car's Isofix connection the seat covers the buckle; a safe fixation with the 3-point-belt is not guaranteed any more (Group I/II/III)
- Headrest of the car is not removable and prevents the child seat from being placed correctly
- Storage compartment in the foot area does not allow installation with Isofix base (Group 0+/I)
Safety notes for using RECARO Child Seats
Child seats with an ISOFIX connection:
If the vehicle has a floor storage compartment, using an ISOFIX base is restricted.
This is dependent on whether the support leg of the base can be placed on the floor of the storage compartment (if necessary, remove cover) or if the vehicle manufacturer offers appropriate filling elements as an accessory to prevent the lid from breaking through.
Please read your vehicle's user manual thoroughly or contact your car dealership on this subject.
If these possibilities are not given we can't confirm the safe use of an ISOFIX system with support leg in combination with a floor storage compartment.
Thank you for your understanding.
