Corporate Catering Sanctuary Cove QLD
8 Expert Tips For Choosing the Right Catering Service In Sanctuary Cove
When it comes to the important things that can make or break an event, couple of are as important as the quality, flavor and appearance of the food and beverages you serve. A lot is riding on your choice which caterer to work with, and if you think this decision truly isn't that essential, take a look at it by doing this, incredible catering can rescue an occasion that's on the rocks, however bad catering will generally send guests to the doors.
In addition, due to the fact that catering is typically the # 1 or # 2 line-item cost for most occasions, the caterer you select is also a substantial budgetary choice and can affect how much money you have actually left over to invest in other areas depending upon food expenses and amounts.
Add in the fact that caterers can vary drastically in their prices and the kinds of meals and services they provide, and the process of picking a caterer can figuratively and literally feel like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Individual Interest In Your Needs
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this turned up over and over and over again, primarily since how responsive and interested a catering service is throughout your initial conversations is indicative of how they will carry out during the length of their contract with you (and more on agreements later on).
A prospective caterer must be finding out as much as they can about you in your very first few discussions with them, so you must expect them to be talking and asking concerns about 20% of the time and you supplying responses and detailing your requirements about 80% of the time.
# 2 Capability To Handle Your Particular Type of Event In Sanctuary Cove 4212
Not every catering service is best or every type of event, and many caterers themselves honestly confess this.
So when interviewing your Sanctuary Cove catering services (and you ought to talk with a minimum of 3 catering services for any event with a sensible budget), you need to specify about the type of event you are preparing and the kind of food and/or presentation you are anticipating. Otherwise, you may end up picking a caterer who merely isn't a good fit for the type or style of your event.
Almost every catering service has a standard menu or menus to pick from, and many do provide some level of built-in flexibility to adapt these menus to your specific requirements by substituting particular items and/or tailoring others.
Nevertheless, the standout catering services will exceed standardized menu options and want to develop incredible fare that matches even more specific style and dietary needs.
# 3 Determination To Provide Tastings
How will you ever know what a caterer can do unless you sample their goods? And more particularly, how will you understand exactly what the menu items you are considering will taste like unless you particularly attempt them?
Some people avoid asking to sample the specific items they desire for their occasion due to the fact that it appears like an inconvenience for the caterer, but it is standard to request for a sampling of exactly 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 cost, it's a small price to pay to guarantee you select the best catering service). When you are tasting the food, also address how it is presented, as any catering service who makes the effort to correctly show a sample will probably be more likely to make that sort of effort on your occasion day.
Are you an event supervisor who has to manage catering information, spending plans and tasks?
Or are you a catering service who has to track propositions, invoices, meal selections, stock and other customer details?
# 4 Familiarity With The Location
You might remain in for a surprise if you work with a BARBEQUE take-out joint to cater an official ballroom fundraiser. Or if you choose a high-end corporate event caterer to serve a barn wedding event. Why? Because these catering services might not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get even more particular depending on constraints of the location itself, like when it comes to museums and historical sites.
Even more traditional venues can likewise have constraints that catering services should follow, like certain setup standards or disposal limitations for waste food and water, so having a catering service that is familiar with a venue's guidelines can possibly save you lots of inconvenience on event day.
# 5 Complete Explanation Of Services/Goods Promised In The Agreement
The caterer's agreement should plainly define exactly what food, beverages and services the caterer will be providing on the designated day( s). Moreover, it ought to secure you from non-performance as much as it safeguards the caterer from non-payment/default, so you might wish to think about having a lawyer} look at it before you sign it.
Every detail needs to be included in the agreement, consisted of selected menus, variety of portions and/or people to be served, beverage/bar service details (if appropriate) and all pricing and additional services.
No catering service in Sanctuary Cove with a shred of self-respect and scruples enters into an agreement with strategies to bail at the last minute, but you need to make sure there is a cancellation stipulation in your contract just in case your catering service needs to cancel.
You don't wish to be left without recourse with only days or hours prior to your event, 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 catering services you are considering, and it's always great to start online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, don't stop there, as online reviews are not constantly trusted (or even genuine); for example, an excellent caterer may have had a few nightmare/hater clients who alter their scores, while a truly average catering service may have padded their online reviews. So see if you can track down some past customers of the catering services you are considering and connect to them.
# 7 Insurance
Every catering service we spoke to called insurance protection "a given" for catering services, and you certainly do not wish to lawfully be on the hook for some oversight or accident that was the fault of your catering service.
# 8 A Knowledgeable Chef and Kitchen Personnel
Remarkably, how long a catering business in Sanctuary Cove has been in business might not be as vital in choosing a terrific catering service as you may believe.
So ensure to ask about the chef's bona fides and CV due to the fact that he or she will most likely be the one most responsible for the outcome of the meal and whether your guests enjoy it or not.

Manchester council decision to close off canal undercroft a 'last resort' in bid to save lives
Manchester council decision to close off canal undercroft a 'last resort' in bid to save lives
It is a hotbed of crime and anti-social behaviour and the location of nine deaths in just six years right in the heart of Manchester city centre.
Now, in a desperate bid to make the Rochdale Canal undercroft near Piccadilly safe the City Council have applied for it to be gated off to walkers overnight as a 'last resort'.
Security measures such as CCTV, better lighting and barriers along the canal to stop people falling in and drowning have all been tried but with no success.
And city centre chief Councillor Pat Karney says closing off this 200 metre stretch of the canal, between Dale Street and Minshull Street, from 10pm to 7am is the only way to start saving lives and stop the 'nasty and vicious' activity of the past.
'YOU WILL DIE IN TWO OR THREE MINUTES': Mr Karney explained how quickly the canal can take a life in winter
He told MM: "Most of the fatalities have been in the early hours of the morning – some of them have been people with some drink in them, some of them have been robberies.
"There have been some nasty vicious people down here and they want your wallet or they want your phone and if you don't give it to them they will push you in this canal.
"And then chances of you getting out this canal are zilch particularly in the winter period when the water is so cold you will probably die in two or three minutes. I have seen what fire officers have to do in terms of pulling people out.
"So it is a very dangerous place and we are totally convinced than when we put this gate in we are going to start saving lives."
SURVIVAL CHANCES 'ZILCH': Mr Karney described the undercroft as a 'very dangerous place'
There had been some concerns that completely closing off a section of the canal would not only be a breach of the rights of the public, but a hindrance to commuters and canal boat owners or users.
This was of particular concern as initial plans were to close the gates from 7pm onwards but the council have spoken to people and adjusted the proposed timings accordingly.
The council worked closely with Greater Manchester Police, the Greater Manchester Fire Service and the Canal and River Trust – which manages the UK's waterways – to ask residents and businesses for their views on the gating proposal last year.
WORKING TOGETHER: The council, the fire service, GMP and the Cana and River Trust have joined forces
Mr Karney added: "It has been our last resort. We have tried everything and none of it has stopped people dying.
"So I think it is a sensible compromise between the rights of canal boat users, which I completely uphold their rights to come through here and enjoy the canal, and walkers and late night activity.
"I think that it is a compromise that will start saving lives."
It has been agreed the gates would only be closed between 10pm-7am as police statistics show the worst periods for crime and antisocial behaviour occur late at night.
Access for boating will continue but use of the towpath for walking through will be prevented.
GMP Inspector Phil Spurgeon said it is the brazenness of some of the criminals using the undercroft as cover that has forced the decision to put in gates.
CCTV NOT THE DETERRENT PEOPLE THINK: The layout near the canal makes it very difficult to give complete CCTV coverage
"We have had 63 crimes in this 200 metre stretch. The vast majority of those are robberies or thefts from persons," he explained.
"We have also had a number of assaults and unfortunately people have gone in the water so 17 people have ended up in the canal – some have got out and some have not.
"In the last six year nine people have lost their lives.
"Because of the physical layout it is very difficult to give complete CCTV coverage and even with the cameras we have got we will see people commit a crime then smile and wave at the cameras so they're not always the deterrent that people think."
And the instalment of CCTV is not the only safety measure that has failed to make this area safer.
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE: Inspector Spurgeon thinks the gates will be a big help in preventing any more deaths
Inspector Spurgeon said: "We have had CCTV for a long time and that is just one of a number of measures we have tried.
"We have increased enforcement and education to try to make people aware of the dangers and none of that has made the undercroft any safer.
"We are looking at whether we need additional barriers and chains that people can grab onto.
"When the gates go up we will obviously continue our work in terms of patrols and education but we think the gates will make a significant difference to the issues that we have at the moment."
HOTBED OF CRIME: The undercroft is used as coverage for crimes such as robbery, theft and assault
David Baldacchino, regional waterway manager with the Canal and River Trust, said that while closing off the undercoft is not a decision that comes 'naturally' everything seems to have been building up to this 'drastic moment'.
He told MM: "The decision to close off a section of the canal is not something we want to see and it is not our natural reaction to have.
"But I think everybody is in agreement that it is in the interest of everybody so it is right that we're trying.
SPRING BOARD TO WIDER IMPROVEMENTS? Mr Baldacchino hopes this will be the start of change for the better in the area
"With the CCTV and the lighting and the safety equipment, it builds up and builds up to this drastic moment where you have really got to do something more significant.
"Because we want people to be able to use it so we are coming to a compromise here.
"This is a public safety measure to prevent any more fatalities in this area and we want to see it as a spring board to wider improvements in the area in the long haul."
Anyone who uses the canal can find out more about the proposal or make comments here.

They will do anything but tackle the root cause of the problem which is abuse of alcohol. Something that has been used to "boost" the local economy. The situation has been out of control for years.Liscensing laws and those about serving people when they are drunk seem to be ignored. Questions should be asked about why Greater Manchester Police doesn't enforce the law.Who has persuaded them not to? Are backhanders and corruption involved? There should be an investigation because people have died as a result and will continue to do so. These gates are just the latest stunt to delay matters further. Just like the ludicrous fences that they put along Canal Street some years ago for the same reason.You can't fence off every bit of the canal. There are dangers everywhere for people who can barely stand up due to alcohol.The cruising that went on at the undercroft will move somewhere else. To repeat: the problem is alcohol. Men go cruising in a drunken state and this simply didn't happen so much until a few years ago.Prosecute the venues that serve people when already drunk! Ask why Manchester City Council and the Police continue to turn a blind eye to what alcohol businesses are up to in the city centre. But stop pretending that these stupid initiatives will have any effect.

why not have local community police patroling every hr through out the night,they get paid to stop crime so patrol the hot spots, not just walk the nice areas where nothing happens.

Kate Cumming, A Journal of Hospital Life…
Tough to find in
Original Cloth
$3,500.00reserve this item
Call: 312.944.3085
Hours: Tues - Sat
Cumming, Kate. A JOURNAL OF HOSPITAL LIFE IN THE CONFEDERATE ARMY OF TENNESSEE FROM THE BATTLE OF SHILOH TO THE END OF THE WAR: WITH SKETCHES OF LIFE AND CHARACTER, AND BRIEF NOTICES OF CURRENT EVENTS DURING THAT PERIOD. Louisville: (1866). 1st ed., 200p. [Howes C-949, ITC #31, Eicher #351]
Kate Cumming's daily journal of her life as a nurse for the Army of Tennessee is as valuable as it is rare. Her detailed entries, documenting her experience on a case-by-case basis, are colored by her devotion to the men she served. Cumming ignored those who opposed hospital work as unladylike and became one of the best-known nurses in the Western Confederacy. This work reflects her opinionated and assertive qualities.
"By far the fullest and most informative of narratives of the Confederate women who served as nurses." — In Tall Cotton.
SCARCE! Orig. cloth; A very good copy of an uncommon title; some wear and light soiling, missing one rear blank; spine lettering unusually clean and readable.

The Impact of International Experiences on Women's Career Development: A Narrative Study
PhD Start
1 March 2017
Research Summary
The research, employing narrative inquiry, aims to explore the lived experiences of the Special Twinning Degree Programme (STDP) women educators, selected for training in New Zealand in 1990s. It also aims to provide insights and in-depth understandings of the concerns, issues and problems about women with international experiences and their careers in organisations, which confine and constrain women into specific and limited paths. The research is also concerned with the structure of opportunity, the way the STDP women make choices about their careers and the way these women define success and careers in their own terms. The existing insights offered by empirical literature on women's careers are mostly in the western contexts. Thus, there is a need to explore the career pathing patterns in the non-western contexts.

Jealousy Between New Spouse And Kids?
Is It Wrong To Go Behind New Spouse's Back?
Q: I am remarried and have a daughter from my first marriage who is just out of college and struggling to pay back college loans and get on her feet financially. I would like to occasionally help my daughter out by giving her some money, but my current wife disapproves of my giving money to my daughter. I have gone behind my wife's back a couple of times, giving money to my daughter without telling my wife about this. Is this wrong?
A: If the money you give your daughter is your money that you have earned, and not your wife's money, you have the right to spend it on your daughter if you so choose. The question is, do you assert your right to your wife and endure her disapproval, or do you keep your monetary gifts to your daughter a secret? Have you considered your wife's point of view in terms of why she disapproves?
It may not hurt to sit down with your wife and ask her to voice the reasons for her concerns. And when she does open up, a little understanding can go a long way. Are you and your wife short on funds and she feels that you cannot afford to spend money on your daughter? Does she feel that your daughter is not responsible with money and is taking advantage of you? Is she feeling left out or does she resent your relationship with your daughter?
As a general rule, it is best to be open with one's spouse about money issues. Although your wife disapproves of your giving money to your daughter, she may be even more upset at your deception.
One way to handle this issue is for you and your wife to agree that for large expenditures (you both need to agree on what "large" means) you will consult with each other or at least inform one another, but for expenditures under a certain agreed amount, you do not need to consult or inform each other about how you spend money. Then, if you keep your monetary gifts to your daughter under that amount, you don't need to tell your wife, but you are also not being deceptive.

This interface allows one to manage accounts which can access one's server remotely from the command line.
As a warning it must be noted that many users want this type of access, but before granting complete shell access to users, one should always consider the security risks. We recommend to provide jailed shell (sometimes seen as jailshell) access to users, to prevent the execution of certain harmful commands.
The account's package determines the account's shell access. If the account's permission is changed to access a shell, the system will set the value for the account's package to undefine in the account's userdata file.
One can select the following types of shell access:
It is to note that an account with a disabled shell may use SFTP if a user enables it. To disable it, one must set /bin/false as the user's shell. Run the following command as the root user where username is the account for which the user wish to disable SFTP:
usermod -s /bin/false username
This feature helps a user in certain ways as reviewed in the article.

The printed book is not doomed.
That was the verdict of the inaugural Thirroul Readers and Writers Festival debate, which pitted a mix of educators and authors against one another.
The spirited debate capped off a successful weekend for the budding event, which attracted hundreds of amateur writers, avid readers and book lovers to Thirroul Community Centre's doors.
The festival, conducted over three sessions on Saturday and Sunday, featured several talks with Illawarra authors, playwrights, journalists and academics, as well as a literary quiz and Q&A panel discussing citizen journalism.
Among the highlights was journalist Caroline Baum's incisive interview with Illawarra author Shady Cosgrove about her recent book What the Ground Can't Hold and Kiama author Noel Beddoe's opening address.
"Noel Beddoe was a strong hit at the festival, he gave a charming opening address," festival organiser, author and philosopher Dr Denise Russell said.
"It was a really inspiring talk and great for people who are starting to think about writing a novel, I think it gave them a lot of advice." Dr Russell said she was delighted by the positive response the event received, including the number of offers from people to pitch-in next year. All profits from the weekend will go to the Indigenous Literary Foundation.

The following story from the Post-Dispatch Suburban Journals suggests that the recent major political gains made in St. Louis City and County on the smoke-free air front may be igniting similar interest in neighboring communities. Efforts in support of quite modest smoke-free air legislation in Lake St. Louis stalled many years ago, but now are evidently having fresh life breathed into them.
This is welcome news, and Pat Lindsey of the Tobacco Free Missouri St. Louis Coalition does a good job in the story below of rebutting all of Bill Hannegan's stale arguments.
Lake Saint Louis smoking ban proposal gains steam
Aldermen push ahead on restrictions in public places
By Joe Scott
Saturday, November 21, 2009 1:15 AM CST
Most Lake Saint Louis aldermen said Monday they are on board with pursuing a smoking ban for the city.
Alderman John Pellerito, Ward 3, said he plans to draft a new ordinance that would ban all indoor smoking in public areas.
Five of the city's six aldermen informally expressed support for the measure at their meeting Monday. One council member voted against pursuing a smoking ban, and the mayor also opposed the proposal.
"I got a 5-to-1 vote of confidence to continue on with the smoking ban," Pellerito said.
Alderman Harry Slyman, Ward 1, said he agreed with creating a smoking ban in general. He approved drafting an ordinance, but said he would have to see the ordinance before committing to support it.
Slyman said he'd prefer a countywide ban so Lake Saint Louis establishments don't lose business to those in other nearby cities.
"We don't want to restrict the rights of our business owners, and we wouldn't want to lose money to our neighbors," he said.
Alderwoman Charlotte Norton, Ward 2, was the only board member to oppose a ban. The Journal was unable to reach Norton before its deadline Friday.
Mayor Mike Potter also opposed the ban. He said he believes it would hurt some businesses and that there would be a problem enforcing the ban.
Pellerito said he expects to introduce an ordinance in December. The board could vote on the proposal in January. If it passes, Lake Saint Louis would be the first St. Charles County municipality to enact a public smoking ban.
Pat Lindsey, executive director of an anti-smoking group called the Tobacco-Free Missouri Greater St. Louis Coalition, is rooting for the Lake Saint Louis ban. "The more municipalities who enact the bans, the easier it is to take it countywide," Lindsey said.
Pellerito said economic data from places that have enacted smoking bans, such as Clayton and Ballwin in St. Louis County, show the bans do not hurt businesses.
Bill Hannegan, who is part of a smoking ban opposition group called Keep St. Louis Free, said that's not true for all businesses.
Harry Belli, a bar and restaurant owner, said he had to close Harry's West in Ballwin after that city enacted a smoking ban in 2006. Belli said he lost $2,000 to $2,500 a week in the bar and restaurant, which allowed smoking only in the bar and patio area.
Lindsey said she doubts a smoking ban had anything to do with Harry's West closing. She said Harry's West revenues likely dropped because of the recession and increased competition from Chesterfield Valley area restaurants.
"It's not going to affect a strong business," she said.
Hannegan noted St. Louis County exempted casinos from smoking bans.
"The casinos sure believe it does (affect business)," he said. The casino exemption may be the basis for a legal challenge to the St. Louis County ban, Hannegan said.
He said Tennessee's approach, which allows smoking only in public places that admit only adults ages 21 and older, makes more sense. More people support that measure, he said.
Hannegan said the government still can protect workers' health by requiring filtration systems. Lake Saint Louis currently has a filtration system requirement.
However, Lindsey said filtration systems do not work well enough to make smoky air healthy.
"Business owners owe it to their employees and their customers to protect their health and ban smoking in their buildings," Lindsey said.
Lindsey said her organization, which supported the St. Louis County smoking ban ballot measure, plans to start a petition drive to put a similar measure on the ballot in St. Charles County.
"We'll do it if we find enough volunteers to get signatures," Lindsey said.

If anything the allstar game mvp award.

If anything the allstar game mvp award.
So sad to hear, man very devastating.
This. I mean the fact at 41 he won it all and was MVP was significant.
How is Lebron an option but not AD? Lebron couldn't even make the playoffs last year with same roster apart from AD. AD is the MVP of the team. He leads in scoring and PER as well.
The Bears
Up 24-0 and then lose by 20?
Brady really should had retired at the end of last season. He was losing it then.
Not sure why they would punt anyway. The defense gave up a touchdown in like the last 2 minutes before halftime and the Pats couldn't get a touchdown on the 1 yard line the time before. That...
I dont think you can pitch Max more than one more inning.
Greinke looks like the Astros Ace this series thus far.
Astros score early in every game vs every pitcher. Nats take too long to score in most games. Gotta get to the Astros pitchers before the 5th inning I believe to take this.
No contest
Once you get a major injury you keep getting it.
98 Jazz went thru peak Hakeem, Drexler, Barkley and them peak Robinson and Duncan and then peak Shaq, Kobe, Van Exel, Jones. They would crush the Warriors, 2017 would have lost to Spurs had Kawhi not...
How is it his fault because relief pitching sucks?
Kawhi is much better than Lebron now. Led team to title. Soon as Lebron went west and to the winniest franchise in nba history he failed to make the playoffs. Now it is all about Anthony Davis

It turns out that Totes McGoats has a checkered past – as a heroin dealer.
The mysterious man tapped to wear the Totes McGoats headwear last week to promote recycling in the city of Niagara Falls was James L. Dolson, 50. Dolson pleaded guilty on June 24, 2014, to third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance for selling heroin out of his car to an undercover informant. He was arrested on Dec. 13, 2014, at 68th Street and Buffalo Avenue in Niagara Falls and sentenced to the diversion program, which reduced the felony charge to a misdemeanor if he completed the court-supervised program.
Contacted Friday, Dolson admitted that when he was charged last year, he was in a low place in his life, after his brother died. But he said he has been turning his life around and is both embarrassed for his family and upset to have to deal with the attention that serving as the mascot is bound to bring him.
"I took the plea to have a chance," Dolson said. "I thought I was doing good. I'm trying to clean up trash, and now I am being labeled like garbage."
The Totes McGoats campaign, which features a man wearing a goat mask that some had called "terrifying," proved to be a hit on social media last week when it was announced by the city. The plan was to use the goat as a symbol for Niagara Falls' new recycling program and raise awareness about its new recycling totes.
Dolson volunteered his own time to dress up in the mascot costume, but no one had any idea it would end up attracting national attention.
"I was just trying to make a difference," said Dolson, who said he will graduate from the diversion program on Dec. 3.
Brook F. D'Angelo, director of the city's Solid Waste Education and Enforcement Team or SWEET, who created the mascot, said last week that the strange name and wild mask were designed to appeal to the millennial generation, not young children.
Christopher Mazur, the city's deputy corporation counsel, confirmed Dolson worked for the SWEET Team and had worn the mask. He also said Dolson's conviction was public record, and he was not working for the city at the time of his arrest.
According to public records, Dolson had worked for the city in the past as a seasonal worker for the Impact Team, which cleans up the streets. Mazur said he was just hired full-time earlier this month to work for SWEET as a solid waste enforcement officer. His job is to educate people on disposal and recycling under the new totes system.
Both Mazur and Dyster said under state law the city is not allowed to discriminate by refusing to hire someone with a criminal conviction.
"He wasn't hired to be the goat – Totes McGoats. He was hired for the SWEET team," Mazur said. "It just happened that on that day they got him to be in the suit. It's not like he's the one that always will be doing that."
Dyster called the headwear a prop and said the outreach to younger children would be a softer, cartoon character.
He said the person behind the mask doesn't speak or even walk around without being accompanied by someone and would not have a role interacting with school kids as Totes McGoats, but he said understands people may have concerns.
Dyster noted that city programs hire many people with drug convictions. "We hire people without discriminating," he said. "Someone has to. If the City of Niagara Falls wasn't willing to hire people who have had drug convictions, where would they ever go?"

We Truly Value the Lives, Health and Safety of Our Employees
Safety records are a reflection of an organization's culture. There is the "why" and the "how" of our safety culture. The "why" of the Tri-Technic safety culture is two-fold, but it is simple and easy to express. We truly value the lives, health, and safety of our employees and partners who work on our projects, and all who work in this dangerous industry. We have observed the suffering of those who have fallen victim to an accident, often because someone did not follow the rules.
However, going beyond the slogans, we have also observed the long-term liability to business, the direct and disruptive costs associated with accidents; while these cannot be measured against human suffering, they are, nonetheless, real and can be devastating. As well as assuring that everyone returns home to their family injury free at the end of every workday, we also work hard to insulate our clients and partners from the devastating business liabilities that an accident can bring. We do this to insure that those who return home injury-free to their families every night have a workplace and a job to come back to the next morning.
Production is Never More Important
Than Safety
The "how" of our safety culture is somewhat more difficult and requires a lot of hard work. Our safety director is an accomplished safety professional, who works long and hard every day to assure that our jobsites are safe, our construction operations address and mitigate all hazards and that our competency and compliance training for all our employees and partners is second to none. Thorough task planning and job hazard analysis (JHA) are employed on all critical or sensitive operations and are communicated in detail to all who are involved. Safety development and assurance are team efforts, but responsibility for success is a very personal thing and must have individual comprehension and buy-in.
Our safety incentives are structured to award proactive program participation and compliance, not to discourage the reporting of accidents or hazards. Every manager and supervisor leads by example toward the ultimate goal of making every project an accident free project. Production is never more important than safety. The result: Fewer injuries and a safety record that is among the very best in the electrical industry.

Conservation work is already underway along a section of the south bank of the Wom running through Wombourne Park. Local volunteers, assisted by workers from a neighbouring company which is supporting conservation work in the community, and guided by officials of South Staffordshire District Council, have employed a 'basket-weaving' technique in order to shore up the section of the stream bank vulnerable to erosion by the stream.
In the beginning…
This is a web log set up to chronicle some of the developments that are ongoing in the area of Wombourne Park in Wombourne, South Staffordshire, chiefly relating to the Wombrook, the stream more commonly referred to by the local inhabitants as the 'Brook'.
Although the Brook runs through a larger area of Wombourne, the focus of this log centres upon that part of the stream that runs through Wombourne Park, and directly impacts upon its flora and fauna.
It is hoped that the 'Friends of Wombrook' (the local inhabitants' support group), along with those officers of South Staffordshire District Council who are directly involved in the planned developments affecting the Brook, will occasionally drop into this area in order to contribute to this weblog's development.
I will attempt to maintain this web log as often as my work permits, and just as long as our host server is available to enable this to happen. You will be helping us at ULTRALAB, the research arm of Anglia Polytechnic University, to research the use of web logs!

The following is a list of unnamed Coridanites.
Ambassador Edit
This ambassador represented Coridan's government at Coalition of Planets meetings held in San Francisco on Earth in January 2155. During the meetings, the ambassador complained to Human Minister Nathan Samuels regarding the Tellarites having requested an embargo. Although the Tellarite government claimed the embargo would be a result of Orion attacks on their freighters, the Coridanite ambassador denounced such claims as "Tellarite [slander]", believing that Coridan, having traded with the Orions for years, would have known of the attacks and that the Tellarites were merely attempting to deprive Coridan of commerce. The ambassador's discussion with Samuels was interrupted by Captain Jonathan Archer, and after a brief introduction, the ambassador excused himself to contact his government. (ENT: "Demons")
Rebels Edit
These rebels served under Traeg and were members of a faction on the planet Coridan. In 2151, they kidnapped Captain Archer and Sub-Commander T'Pol, who were en route to meet Chancellor Kalev.
The rebels were later attacked by Lieutenant Reed and Commander Tucker, who had help from the Andorians Shran and Tholos. (ENT: "Shadows of P'Jem")
Background information Edit
In the first draft script of "Shadows of P'Jem" (written while the episode had the working title "Untitled Andorians Return"), a Coridanite "city engineer" was referred to, in dialogue, as having extended a personal invitation for Commander Tucker to visit Coridan. The same script also made reference to a Coridan army, under the leadership of Chancellor Kalev.

When the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand becomes squeezed or pressed at the wrist, carpal tunnel syndrome or CTS occurs. CTS leads to numbness and weakness in the hand that can be relieved through proper treatment. Let's take a closer look at the symptoms of CTS as well as how it can be treated and prevented.
In most cases, CTS symptoms begin gradually. If you have this condition, the first symptoms you are likely to experience include numbness or tingling in your thumb, index, and middle fingers that comes and goes. You may also notice some discomfort in your wrist and the palm of your hand.
CTS Risk Factors
Although anyone can develop CTS, you are more likely to experience it if you have:
- A wrist fracture or dislocation
- A chronic illness such as diabetes
- An inflammatory condition like rheumatoid arthritis
- Another medical condition such as obesity, menopause, kidney failure, or thyroid disorder
- A job that involves repetitive or prolonged flexing of the wrist
Preventing CTS
If you would like to reduce your risk of CTS, you should focus on reducing the stress on your hands and wrists with the following strategies:
- Take frequent breaks if you use your hands and wrists often to complete tasks at home or work.
- Relax your grip if you have to use a keyboard or cash register for work.
- Refrain from bending your wrist all the way up or down.
- Improve your posture.
- Use a comfortable computer mouse that does not strain your wrist.
- Keep your hands warm when working in a cold environment.
Treating CTS
Here at South Shore Orthopedics, we are pleased to offer the latest treatments for CTS. If you are suffering from this condition, Dr. John Kadzielski is an invaluable resource. He is a Hand and Upper Extremity Fellowship trained orthopedic surgeon and Director of the Division of Hand Surgery at South Shore Hospital. He specializes in Upper Extremity Nerve Surgery including Carpal Tunnel Surgery.
If conservative treatments such as wrist splinting, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and corticosteroid do not help, he will likely recommend wrist surgery to help you find relief from CTS.
Dr. Kadzielski may suggest a wrist surgery called a carpal tunnel release, which involves releasing the ligament that is pressing down on the carpal tunnel. The purpose of a carpal tunnel release is to make more room for the tendons and median nerve passing through the tunnel, thereby taking the pressure off the nerve.
Contact South Shore Orthopedics
If you believe you may have CTS or have been recently diagnosed with, contact our office today to schedule an appointment and meet with Dr. Kadzielski.

What a beautiful Saturday we had, the sky was blue, a soft wind was blowing , and the temperature was 60. I went to the farm store and bought seed potatoes, Youkon Gold and Red Pontiacs, red onion sets and one pot of pansies. I sat in the sun and cut the seed potatoes. I remembered my Dad and Grandpa sitting on the backporch cutting up seed potatoes from large gunnie sacks. I called Dad to ask how many pounds they used to cut up and he said at least 100 pounds. I remember finally being allowed to help. We had a very large garden with at least a third of it in potatoes. Dad used the walk behind, one bottom plow pulled by a team of horses to do the final harvest in the fall. I remember riding on the back of one of the horses as Dad drove them back to the barn. It was a beautiful day.

Don't pansies add an amazing splash of color in spring? That's a great use of the concrete blocks.ReplyDelete
