Now it's not much of a work when you have to set up the speaker or plug in the cord. The real tension intensifies when it's time for wiring.
To most people, running speaker wire through the walls or ceilings is equivalent to making a rocketship for NASA. No folks, don't go so hard on yourself. Running wires may seem complicated but it ain't rocket science.
Seems like a big deal? Don't worry. If you do the work following the right steps, you'll see, it's not that hard.
So, where shall we begin?
1. Do You Have The Permission?
Now, first things first. Are you permitted for this work?
Wiring is a serious job since its related to electricity and some states have strict law for this. So, this thing needs to be confirmed first, if your state gives you the permission to act on this action or not.
In case it's illegal in your state, you have to leave the whole thing to a professional.
If you have the permission, it's time for the next step: the place where you're gonna run the wires, who does it belong to?
You can do whatever you want if you're the owner of your house. But as a tenant, you have to take the landlord's permission first, and you can start working only when your landlord is fine with it.
Even when you're doing it on your own, hire a system designer or conductor for help.
2. Things That Will Be Necessary
Now, as always, somethings will be required to get the job done. So, you have to arrange them first.
For different steps, you'll need different things. So, you gotta think about the future steps, and what will be necessary to accomplish them. Well, since you don't know the steps, it's our duty to tell you about the required stuffs.
Since it's a wiring job, a few tools will be needed of course. Collect the needed tools.
You'll need measuring tape for wire measurement. Drill and hammer for pinning, beating and bending. Stud finder for investigation. Zip ties and staple gun will be needed as well. And most importantly, gauge for wire connection, along with a certain amount of conductors and wire strippers.
3. The Wire
You can't just use any wire for wiring. Just like working permission code, the wiring has its own code too. The wire types that are approved by house building code are CL2/CL2p and CL3/CL3P rated.
You should first design the whole wiring plan to calculate the necessary amount of wire. When it's time for purchase, remember one thing. Always buy an extra bit of wire, it can come handy later. So purchase 10%-20% extra for emergency.
4. Necessary Things for Wall-Mounting
After collecting tools and wire, it's time to think about wall-mounting kit, or brackets to be precise.
You'll need wall-mounting receptacles and brackets to deploy them. So arrange brackets and receptacles. You can use rough-in brackets too for convenient mounting after dry-wall installation. Wall-mounting plates will also be necessary for entry and exit of the wire through walls.
Have a J-box for in-wall work.
5. Check the Wall/Ceiling
With all the things beside you, you're prepared to dig in. But before starting, you must inspect the wall or ceiling properly. It's important so that the wiring doesn't interrupt other electrical lines and water pipe. Use studfinder to detect the safest zone for wiring.
6. Drywall Installation
After confirming that everything's okay for wiring, it's time for cutting drywall.
7. Run the Wire
Now here are some steps that need to be followed:
- While running wire around a door frame, detach the molding, run the wire through the frame and after completing the task, reattach the molding.
- While running it through a basement, drill two holes on the wall/ceiling and drill two other holes on the mounting plate for running the wire through the wall and connecting to the speaker.
- While running it through the baseboard, first pry off the board, then find the studs and make a wire channel. Now install the wire in the channel and put the board back again after completing the work.
- Fish the wire for proper installation.

Champions Poppies beaten 1-0 at home to BarwellApr 20th, 2019
Kettering Town 0
Barwell 1
Hickey 79
With the title now firmly in their back pocket, Kettering Town can relax a little as they host Barwell and manager Marcus Law will use the opportunity to give a run out to some of the players who have been short of playing time this season. Kettering still have a duty to put out strong teams and play their best in their remaining few fixtures as they can still affect the play-off places for the teams trying to gain promotion with them.
A fairly quiet first-half punctuated with a several good chances to open the scoring that were spurned. Most notably for Poppies was when Brett Solkhon looked to have scored but his shot came off the legs of the keeper and was deflected behind for a corner. Both sides keep plugging away and it could be a single goal that wins this encounter at Latimer Park.
Half-time: Kettering Town 0 Barwell 0
The second-half gets underway at Latimer Park, another early chance for Solkhon to score but this time he's adjudged to be offside by a very small margin. A free header for Jamie Towers but he fails to trouble White in the Poppies goal. Another opportunity for the visitors from the corner but it's another decent chance spurned. White out to collect and completely misses the ball but it goes wide. Lucky escape for Poppies.
Kettering make a change as Lindon Meikle replaces James Brighton. It's all Barwell at the moment as another effort goes wide of White's goal and then White makes a save and Towers puts behind for a corner to Barwell which is easily cleared. Strange decision by the referee almost leads to a Barwell goal but Kettering somehow survive again without going behind. They really need to wake up and get back into this game.
Hollis is replaced by Durkin for Barwell and youngster Joe Massaro replaces Ben Bradsahw. A half-chance for Poppies but Solkhon put the ball over the crossbar. It was coming, again Kettering fail to clear and Barwell have scored. It could be the damper on the title celebrations but Tower's slip allows Hickey in and he puts it low into the corner.
White makes a good save from Hickey as the minutes tick away. White stationary as the ball cannon's back off the Poppies crossbar. It's been a poor showing from Kettering this afternoon and Barwell are deservedly in front. Into time added on of three minutes and still the visitors are pressing for more goals. There goes the final whistle, ending a disappointing result for Kettering, but they will still be celebrating.
The championship trophy is presented to Kettering Town and the players and fans celebrate the successful season.
Kettering travel to AFC R & D on bank holiday Monday and then their final game of the regular season is at home to play-off hopefuls Stratford Town.
Att: 1,039
Kettering Town: White, Brighton, Toseland, Solkhon, Stohrer, Richens, Milnes, Towers, Graham. Bradshaw, Rowe-Turner. Subs: Meikle, Kelly, Kelly-Evans, Stanley, Massaro.
Barwell: Castle, Rowe, Putnam, Eze, Percival, Julian, Brown-Hill, Tomkinson, Towers, Hickey, Hollis. Subs: Durkin, Preston, Charley, Nisevic, Davidson-Miller.

Dear FBA Members,
The United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the Delaware Chapter of the Federal Bar Association ("FBA") are pleased to announce the 2015 Federal Trial Practice Seminar.
The Seminar is an instructional trial practice program designed for lawyers who have less than 10 years of experience as a practicing attorney, but who have an interest in regularly litigating in the District Court.

Seminar participants will also obtain Continuing Legal Education credit (including Ethics-related credit) and will have additional opportunities to interact with the District Court judges, the speakers and the program mentors outside of these sessions. There is no cost to participate in the Seminar, which is open to both members and non-members of the FBA. A complete Seminar description is attached to this e-mail. Additional information about the seminar can be found on the District Court's website , including a video which describes the program and the experience of the participants.

In an open letter to Delaware counsel, Chief Judge Leonard P. Stark has provided clarification on the Court's new 6 p.m. EST deadline for the filing and service of papers, which will become effective Thursday, October 16. Judge Stark explained that "the 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time deadline applies to every filing and service deadline in every case in the District of Delaware, other than initial pleadings." Accordingly, "the 6:00 p.m. deadline applies to the exchange among parties of discovery requests and discovery responses, and it applies even if such requests or responses are made by hand delivery."
Notably, Judge Stark also clarified that "[p]arties will not be permitted to alter the new deadline on a case-by-case basis." To that end, Judge Stark further explained that "[w]hile each individual Judge retains the discretion to set a different deadline in a specific case with respect to a particular paper, the Judges of the Court agree that this discretion will be exercised rarely (most likely during trial)."
Judge Stark also noted that the new deadline does "not apply to proceedings pending in Bankruptcy Court," but it "does, of course, apply to bankruptcy appeals and any other bankruptcy-related cases to the extent those cases are on the District Court's docket."
Today, the District of Delaware issued a Standing Order revising the Court's Administrative Procedures Governing Filing and Service by Electronic Means, setting a new filing and service deadline of 6:00 p.m. ET for all documents other than initial pleadings. Effective October 16, 2014, section (F) of the Court's Administrative Procedures will be revised as follows:
(F) Deadlines
Filing documents electronically does not in any way alter any filing deadlines. Aside from initial pleadings, all electronic transmissions of documents (including, but not limited to, motions, briefs, appendices, and discovery responses) must be completed by 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, in order to be considered timely filed and served that day. All electronic transmissions of initial pleadings must be completed prior to midnight Eastern Time, in order to be considered timely filed that day. When CM/ECF calculates a deadline, it will include intermediate weekends and holidays as prescribed in Fed.R.Civ. P. 6. CM/ECF will also add 3 calendar days for mailing as prescribed in section (E)(5) of these procedures.

This article presents and analyzes 5 of the most powerful influencer marketing case studies I have found. If the content is king then creativity is the supreme overlord. In social media, nothing trump's the power of creative content. Funny, well-crafted content spreads like wildfire through the social graph. It pulls hundreds of thousands of eyes in the blink of an eye.
Influencers are modern day celebrities and their endorsements carry huge weight. Brands have noticed and have begun partnering with these influencers at ever-increasing rates. Unfortunately, most brands haven't yet figured out how to walk the fine line between creating engaging influencer content and blatant promotions. Brand safety is paramount to any successful advertising campaign, but often being too "brand-safe" can squash the viral momentum of an influencer's creativity.
Well… that's not the case with these 5 influencer marketing case studies.
The above 5 brands created some of the most impressive influencer marketing campaigns I've seen to date. These campaigns knocked a powerful punch for the brands and delivered monumental results. How did they accomplish such a feat? They didn't compromise on the creative values of the influencer.
Jimmy Tatro's FanDuel Commercial Satire
Influencer: Jimmy Tatro (Known for LifeAccordingToJimmy YouTube series and role in 22 Jump Street)
Subscribers: 2,436,808
Brand: FanDuel
After a flurry of TV commercials, radio ads, and traditional outbound media… the public started to turn a blind eye to the daily fantasy sports adverts. Twitter feeds complained that "every other commercial is a FanDuel ad." Looking for a better way of delivering their message, FanDuel partnered with leading college and sports influencers to craft their message in a captivating, and often hilarious, format.
Why is this influencer marketing case study brilliant?
Jimmy plays the role of a flustered TV director attempting to corral an unrefined NFL rookie for his first TV endorsement. With 17 unique mentions of the brand name, 5 direct calls to action, clearly integrated promotional codes, and over 90 seconds of direct brand-messaging, you would think this was nothing more than a 4-minute infomercial. Normally, this level of brand promotion would immediately turn off viewers, kick on their ad-blinders, and cause a stream of "sell out" comments. Not this time.
Filled with a flurry of relatable cultural references, Jimmy makes a satire of commercials, sports athletes, and endorsements in general. Not only did his audience LOVE the content, but the piece pulled in over 300,000 views and thousands of clicks… His fans hardly considered the skit an ad at all.
Let's see what his audience had to say…
Meghan McCarthy's Walmart Promo to Millennial's
Influencer: Meghan McCarthy
Subscribers: 643,287
Brand: Walmart
Kids these days don't watch TV like they used to… In fact, a recent survey by Variety found the five most influential figures among Americans ages 13-18 are ALL YouTube creators. The survey highlighted that traditional media celebrities just don't have the same pull or presence among today's teens.
Why is this influencer marketing case study brilliant?
As the old adage goes, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. That's exactly what Walmart decided to do in this influencer marketing case study. Walmart found that Meghan McCarthy was among one of the top Millennial influencers and partnered with her to integrate their promotion into her daily conversations. Posting on Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, Meghan put her stamp of approval and explained exactly why her audience should care about the promotion. Her posts garnered hundreds of follow up posts and tweets, the partnership with Meghan made an impact like no TV commercial campaign ever would.
Missy Lanning Launching a New Subscription Box
Influencer: Missy Lanning
Subscribers: 305,988
Brand: Try The World
Raising awareness for a new product is never an easy task, especially for a startup. Tight on cash, startups often have to result in guerrilla tactics to help get their product seen. Unfortunately, most startups aren't able to crack their marketing fast enough and end up running out of cash. That's why it's critical that startups take well-planned decisions or else they'll find themselves with a great product and no sales.
Why is this influencer marketing case study brilliant?
Rather than pay top dollar for mainstream celebrity influencer marketing endorsement, Try The World worked with Missy Lanning. With 300k subscribers, she's able to provide better dollar-for-dollar value than a top-tier influencer. This particular video drove thousands of clicks, an array of sales, and continues to provide a steady stream of sales even months after posting.
FoodBeast's Ken's Salad Dressing Recipe Integration
Influencer: FoodBeast
Followers: 1,223,133
Brand: Ken's Salad Dressing
In the crowded landscape of consumer-packaged-goods, it's hard to stand out from the noise. Rather than buy standard ads that talk about how tasty their product was, Kens Salad dressing opted to partner with leading food influencers to creative clever, viral recipes that integrated their product in a natural way.
Why is this influencer marketing case study brilliant?
Going viral with a comedy video? Easy. Going viral with a sports video? Easy. Going viral with a food video… not so much. Even with influencer marketing, the CPG and food space is tough to pull views in. FoodBeast is known for his crazy, off the beaten path recipes. So when Ken's Salad teamed up with FoodBeast to create a new recipe, the goal was clear: Go viral. FoodBeast created the "Ranch Taco Salad Code", a one of a kind recipe to create a savory treat using Ken's Salad Dressing. Pulling in over 6,000 shares on Facebook, this creation sparked a flurry of comments and likes and landed hundreds of thousands of eyeballs on Ken's Dressing.
New York Times App Promotions
Influencer: Armando Ferreira
Followers: 158,456
Brand: New York Times
Launching any new product is hard. Tech & app reviewers have an engaged audience that closely listens to their review and recommendations. Having these influencers post a review of your app can have immeasurable value for an app launch.
Why is this influencer marketing case study brilliant? For the launch of their latest revision of their app, The New York Times worked with tech YouTubers that were already familiar with the old New York Times app. These app reviewers were able to explain granular details and changes on the new app that may normally go unnoticed. Many of these refined granular changes are what makes the New York Times have such a stellar user interface, but it's hard for a potential user to understand this from reading the App Store description. After partnering with carefully selected tech & app reviewers, the engaged users on their new app significantly increased.
Takeaways From These Influencer Marketing Case Studies
The key thing to take away from these influencer marketing case studies? Creativity is key. When partnering with influencers, it's critical that you have a keen understanding of what type of content will resonate well with the influencer's audience. Influencer marketing doesn't work if it's too overly promotional.
Being brand-safe is one thing, being an outright advertisement is another.
Keep in mind:
- Top brands are partnering with influencers at an ever-increasing rate.
- Partnering with smaller, targeted influencers can drive as much or more results than top-tier influencers.
- Giving the influencer more creative freedom can help a piece go viral.
- Understanding an influencer's audience and demographic first can help a brand pinpoint their target market.
- Full integrations with a strong brand presence are fine if they're funny and creative.

The benchmark changer
See how your monitoring data might look measured against our new 2018 benchmarks using our exciting new Benchmark Changer in Connect.
We have just released updated benchmarks for 2018 results analysis. Alps Connect now allows you to choose whether you want to continue to monitor student performance against the current benchmarks; or instead, to change to the new benchmarks.
The new benchmarks are relevant for England A Level, AS Level and KS4. Details of the changes are available here (in the Resources section of your Connect Data homepage.)
Why change the benchmark now?
Your results in August will be automatically analysed against this new benchmark, and therefore changing it now for your monitoring data will give you an up-to-date picture of where performance might be in the summer. You may want to apply this benchmark to your 2017 examination to see how you measure up against the national dataset for 2017.
If you are changing the benchmark, please be aware of the possible implications for monitoring gradepoints submitted under the existing benchmark. This is more pertinent at KS4, where the prior attainment bands have undergone an upward shift. If you have carried out any monitoring under the existing benchmarks, you may find that some of your strategic and subject indicators may have changed if there has been a big shift in prior attainment bands.
Instructions are set out in the 'Changing the Benchmark' user guide in the Resources section on the Connect Data homepage.
- Only your Administrators will be able to access and change this setting for your school or college
- If the benchmark is changed, it is changed for every user. There is not an option to do this on a user-by-user basis.
- It is vital that the person who makes this change notifies your staff so as not to cause confusion.
We hope that this latest development is of use to you – it is the latest of a number of continuous improvements and new features we have planned over the next few months.
Need more information?

Brooklyn, NY TF Cornerstone has signed two retail leases totaling 2,587 s/f at the base of 33 Bond St., a 714-unit residential rental building located at the crossroads of Downtown Brooklyn, Boerum Hill and Fort Greene.
Neighborhood Cut and Shave, a barber shop and grooming concept with three New York City locations, leased 801 s/f of ground-floor space in the building, and Burger Village, a Long Island-based organic burger restaurant with three locations in Brooklyn, Great Neck and Hicksville, signed a lease for 1,786 s/f. Winick Realty Group represented TF Cornerstone in the leases.
"We are thrilled to welcome Neighborhood Cut and Shave and Burger Village to 33 Bond St., adding to the vibrant retail we have curated in partnership with Winick at the building. Along with Chelsea Piers' first Brooklyn location and local favorites Devocion, and Depanneur, we are bringing great new amenities to Downtown Brooklyn for our residents and neighbors," said Steve Gonzalez, head of retail leasing at TF Cornerstone.
"From day one, our leasing strategy has been to identify local operators with an impressive buildout to add value to the building and to the neighborhood," said Winick president Steven Baker, who exclusively markets the retail at the project along with director Daniyel Cohen. "We are proud to welcome both of these tenants to the building as they bring much-needed amenities to the market."
Baker, Cohen and Winick Realty Group director Aaron Fishbein represented TF Cornerstone in both retail lease transactions, in addition to representing Neighborhood Cut and Shave. Burger Village was represented by Young Kim and Raj Whadha of RKF, a Newmark Company. Both tenants are expected to open in Q1 2019. The retail addresses are at 300 Livingston St.
Since they began leasing the retail at 33 Bond Street, Baker and Cohen have successfully brought in tenants to complement and enhance the growing neighborhood, where more than 5,000 new residential units, in addition to a variety of office and hotel projects, are currently in development. Other tenants include Devoción, Dépanneur and Chelsea Piers' first Brooklyn location.
"The retail at 300 Livingston St. offers an incredible opportunity for these incoming retailers," said Cohen. "With access to public transportation, as well as the many development projects underway—including the nearby Ace Hotel and 9 Dekalb, anticipated to be Brooklyn's tallest building—their potential clientele grows almost weekly."
Baker and Cohen are continuing to work with TF Cornerstone to market two remaining retail spaces at the project, including a potential restaurant concept for a vented 1,712-square-foot opportunity and a beauty concept to occupy the last 1,335-square-foot space.
33 Bond is a residential building in Downtown Brooklyn developed by TF Cornerstone. The building features a landscaped roof terrace with incredible views of New York City, the coworking space HomeWork for residents, onsite pet grooming in partnership with Throw Me a Bone, bike storage, and more. 33 Bond has a dedicated glass pavilion at ground-level for art exhibitions. The building is centrally located and just steps away from A, B, C, G, Q, R, 2, 3, 4 and 5 trains.

Some folks use the words "product" and "brand" interchangeably. But we see a great distinction between these two terms. A brand is the sum total of the logo, label, image, positioning, promise, and overall reputation. A product is the item that is offered for sale. A product without a brand to go with it is a generic product and is usually sold in bulk. But once that product is identified with a brand, then the product itself and the customer experience consumers derive from it influences the brand image, brand promise, and overall reputation.
For brands with physical products, this goes double. The branded product is the vehicle by which the brand is judged. It's not the only factor, but it can be the deal breaker or the king maker. The customers' experience with the product, packaging, labeling, logo, pricing, positioning, and accessibility directly affect the brand's image, promise and reputation. If, for instance, the branded physical consumer product is out of stock when a loyal customer wants to buy it, the brand's image is tarnished. Now it's "undependable." This occurs even if the out of stock situation is caused by a retailer or a distributor.
Likewise, when the price the consumer expects to pay is "too high" your brand image is hurt. Your end user thinks, "This brand is supposed to deliver a quality product at the same price I paid last time, but now they are asking for more!" They may feel obligated to warn a friend or colleague to whom they previously recommended your brand. But the increase in price may have been a desire on the part of the retailer to make more profit on your branded product. Or maybe they want to drive traffic away from your brand to help sell their store brand which returns substantially more profit. But in the eyes of the consumer, it's your brand's fault.
There are a multitude of things the brand producer can do to their own branded product that will also hurt the brand: radical changes to the label or logo in the name of "change for changes sake" which confuses the customer; removing quality queues in the name of cost reduction, efficiency, or corporate conformity, which the customer sees as "cheapening" the brand image; reducing the quality of the product in the name of "increasing profit margins," which hurts the brand's quality and value perception. The producer can also do things that hurt the environment, labor, or the community which then reflect on the brand image, thus reducing sales.
So, in the branded physical product space, the product and how it's presented are still the major factors in brand building. Keeping the distribution channel open and flowing is critical to the brand's image of dependability. The size, shape, packaging, labeling, pricing, contents and availability of the branded product are what the consumer thinks of the brand.
That's why we put so much emphasis on distribution and retail merchandising of physical product brands. It doesn't matter if your website looks great, or if your compelling logo and slogan are matched on your stationery, envelopes, and baseball hats – if you let the consumer down at the product end.
True brand building includes taking responsibility for what happens to your branded product once it leaves your hands. Oversight, vigilance, and active support at every step in the distribution channel are crucial to building your brand. Your brand image is only as good as your physical product and your customer's experience. If it's a good one, they credit your brand. If it's a bad one, they blame your brand!

This trade agreement could cut your monthly utility bill: The Environmental Goods Agreement
Imagine a trade deal that could save energy, cut your monthly utility bill, and improve the environment. This is exactly what 45 countries are aiming to do in the WTO Environmental Goods Agreement (EGA).
The cornerstone of our analysis is the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES). Our approach to assessing the EGA is a bottoms-up approach to household-level effects. We consider a number of everyday household items likely to be included in such an agreement. We use household data to estimate the benefits to American households when tariff cuts on household goods included in the EGA lower the price paid by consumers. In addition to a price effect, lower consumer prices can spur demand for these energy efficient goods. Lower consumer prices, in turn, can result in energy savings and reduced costs in connection with operating these goods.
For instance, eliminating the 3.6 percent tariff on LED light bulbs would save $320 million of household expenditures in the form of lower prices. Furthermore, using more energy efficient lights bulbs in the United States could cut electric bills by nearly $130 million and lower the number of kilowatt hours by 238 million each year.
Consumer survey data reveal non-trivial differences in household expenditure patterns across a number of socio-economic and demographic groups. We consider geographic region, urban versus rural, size of household, household income, and homeowner or renter status.
We calculate the consumer surplus effects for a set of products that are being considered for inclusion in the EGA. We estimate two household-level effects. First, we estimate the price effect, as declining prices bring lower acquisition costs on quantities already purchased. Second, we estimate the volume effects and corresponding energy cost savings that accrue as a result of consumers substituting energy-intensive for energy-efficient products, and benefit from lower operating or running costs.
The socio-economic and demographic differences in household expenditures are perceptible in the household savings as well. We find the biggest savings go to households in the South, households with a mortgage, two-person households, and lower-income households.
Bringing the story to the household level
The CES data allows us to see how consumption of various goods and services varies across numerous household characteristics. The average US household spends $69.51 per year on LED light bulbs, but when you break it down further, you find that a household with one person spends $40.67 and a household of four spends $85.65.
People in the South would save more than those in other regions, reflecting the hot climate and widespread use of air-conditioning. As a share of household budgets, the effect of savings is twice as great for families with incomes of up to $30,000 (compared to families with incomes over $70,000), which reflects the larger share these goods and services constitute of their household budgets.
As a result of lower prices, consumers will substitute energy-intensive products for energy-efficient products. Greater use of energy efficient products yields savings in the form of lower utility bills. The benefits are not the same for every household, and this is where using the CES data allows a more granular view.
A need for microeconomic evidence
Why focus on the household level? Trade sceptics are no longer won over by the economy-wide effects often produced by CGE models. So we tried to see if we could use the household level data to offer a different angle into trade effects. We see the household level analysis as a complement to economy-wide assessments.
Recent EU surveys indicate that most people believe trade has overall benefits, but are less clear on how it will affect them. Cernat and Jansen summarise these survey, noting "these findings suggest that the surveyed population acknowledged the potentially positive effects of globalisation on the overall economy, but that many people expected not to be in a position to share in the benefits. In other words, in today's world a majority of individuals appear to expect the effects of globalisation on their lives to differ from those on the overall economy."
Americans appear to feel no differently. When asked about what foreign trade means for America, those surveyed viewed foreign trade as an opportunity (as opposed to a threat). Yet when asked whether US involvement in the global economy was a bad thing because it lowers wages and costs jobs in the US, or a good thing because it creates new markets and growth, the negative sentiment was stronger. Overall, this is consistent with the notion that most people in the US and EU view trade as a good thing for their country or region overall, but as a threat to their personal economic situation.
Researchers may find household-level analysis to be a useful complement to economy-wide CGE (computable general equilibrium) analysis, particularly when trying to inform public policy discussions and understand potential distributional effects of trade policy.

Residents of St. Clair Shores, Michigan, may find themselves in legal trouble. At times, that legal trouble may necessitate a criminal defense attorney, who may recommend a plea bargain.
How child custody is decided
Many St. Clair Shores, Michigan, children live with both of their biological parents. However, sometimes biological parents separate, and in those cases, they will need to resolve child custody issues. They may be able to do so privately, putting together a parenting plan. If they cannot successfully put together a parenting plan privately, they may need to contest the custody of their children in court.
Parents who owe child support should pay
The ideal for St. Clair Shores, Michigan, families is for their children to be raised by both of their parents in a happy, healthy home. Some children are fortunate enough to have that, but others experience situations in which their parents divorce. In those cases, both child custody and child support need to be addressed. Although many noncustodial parents pay the child support they are ordered to on a regular and timely basis, some do not.
What constitutes a restraining order violation?
A restraining order or protective order is established by a court in order to prevent violence or other harm occurring against one or both parties. The terms contained within the order will depend on the specifics of the situation and the request of the protected party. If you happen to violate the order, you can expect to face considerable legal trouble and the potential of jail time.
Answering questions about Michigan courts
Most residents of St. Clair Shores, Michigan, are law-abiding. However, there may come a time when some have a need for criminal defense or other business in court. At those times, they will want to know about the what different courts do.

DefenAge is amazing - At age 48, I finally had time for me. The last kid was in college and I wanted to reclaim my youth. I needed a mommy makeover, and a friend recommended Dr. Gray. The breast lift and tummy tuck were a huge step, but I still wanted to go a step further. I had seen ads on TV and in magazines for products reported to immediately remove wrinkles. I asked Dr. Gray if any of them actually worked. His... More
I have been Dr. Grey's patient for about 4 years now. Started off with Botox. Love my Botox!I recently did a mommy make over (Breast Aug, mini Tummy Tuck and Lipo).I had a great experience and would def. recommend him if any one is looking for a surgeon! More
So Happy - San Francisco, CA - Had my tummy tuck and liposuction done on the 28th of November and I'm in love with the results. My stomach has never been this flat, I keep taking off my garment to peek at my stomach. Dr. Gray did an amazing job and I don't think I would change anything. More
I was researching Mommy make-overs after having 3 kids in 5 years and nursing all three. After researching all the pros and cons of the procedures and the different MD's in my area, I came across Dr. Gray. Since the very beginning, he was polite, informative, and never tried to sway me into getting procedures I did not want. He was even nice enough to have a phone consultation with my hubby because he could not make the first appt. I absolutely LOVEEEEE my results, as well as my hubby!!! My breasts look natural, my tummy tuck scar is very low and clean. I got what I paid for and I could not be happier. The staff is all very sweet, and welcoming and try to work around your schedule. Thank you Dr. Gray for doing such a wonderful job!!! More
My experience has always been amazing when visiting Dr. Grey. I went for the first time as a referral from a friend I had my first breast augmentation back in 2008. I never got explained what size I was getting so long story short I wasn't happy. I went to Dr.Grey back in 2010 and I was blown away by the detail and time he takes to explain to you what to expect. I knew he would be the one to redo my Brest augmentation. I came back a month ago and I got help by his amazing staff Ashley. Any question I would have she would answer right away over phone and via email. I couldn't be more thankful if it weren't for her I wouldn't of been able to do my Mommy makeover. Now as of Dr. Grey he is just amazing with his work. I couldn't of asked for a better Doctor. He knows what he's doing and it feels great to have so much confidence on someone specially going under the knife for 10 hours. I couldn't be happier More
Not sure if you remember me, it's been almost 4 years. You preformed an abdominoplasty and liposuction on me and I know I have thanked you several times, but wanted to again. You literally changed my life in so many ways. I still look great – maintained the same weight and love it. Thank you so much! More

I would like to share a video with you
A few questions with Liz Sales about her thesis show:
a build-it-yourself (multi)verse
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 10, 2010, 6 – 10 PM
On View: Sunday, April 11, 2010, 12-5 PM
ICP Studio Gallery
24-20 Jackson Avenue, 3rd Floor
Long Island City, NY 11101
How did you come to title your show a build-it-yourself (multi)verse?
The title is an amalgamation of two of my favorite episodes of Radiolab: DIY Universe and The (Multi) Universe(s). Both feature Brian Greene discussing the multiverse. We generally think of the universe as everything that exists even though we know physicists speculate about the existence of multiple universes. According to Green, it would "only" take "a tiny black hole, a dash of reverse-gravity and a lot of luck" for any of us to build one of our own universe, or at least he believes the laws of physics don't rule it out. This is how I think about making work, as creating a new universe or at least a new world. A photograph exists outside our experience of space and time, similar to what it depicts but not the same, with its own laws.
I bracketed out 'multi' to delineate that it could be omitted leaving 'verse' as its own word. I wanted to draw attention to the relationship between images and text and to suggest the images in my exhibition be viewed as multiple verses in a single piece of writing. Plus, I love round brackets, they remind me of front and back lens elements both in shape and function.

William Kentridge: Five Themes
February 14 through May 17, 2010
The large exhibition William Kentridge: Five Themes was organized as a traveling exhibition by SFMoMA (San Fransisco, Fort Worth, West Palm Beach, New York, Paris, Amsterdam, Vienna, and Jerusalem) and is currently at MoMA. The exhibition spans nearly three decades of Kentridge's work. Kentridge is most well known for his stop motion animations from charcoal on paper that he refers to as "stone-age animation." Also included in the exhibition are prints, books, collage, and sculpture. As the title of the show implies, Kentridge's work is exploring five themes: ubu and the procession (occasional and residual hope), SOHO and Felix (thick time), artist in the studio (parcours d'atelier), voice the magic flute (sarastro and the master's), and the nose (learning from the absurd).
I am taken with Kentridge's animations. MoMA has set up the show so that there is ample space dedicated to projecting these films.
This is done almost to a fault, since it often seems that the accompanying art was an afterthought. This is unfortunate, as all of his works deserve equal time, space and consideration. His process of animation is hard to describe but beautiful to watch as a scene is continually overdrawn to create the motion, which often creates a ghosting from previous scenes to a wonderful effect.
It is hard not to compare Kentridge's show to Tim Burton's show, also currently a large show at MoMA, and wonder how much planning or mere coincidence is at work here. Both are known for their film, being wonderful illustrators, and dealing with dark issues. For Burton there is much less video included in the main exhibition space (as his movies are being screened in the theater at MoMA) but many small works pack the walls. It seems as though for the general public Burton is the main draw, but I can only hope that many will stop on the second floor for the Kentridge show and wander though this wonderful, challenging and engaging exhibition.
Curtis has asked that I take one and only one image a day with my cell phone "as though each day you only have one frame remaining on a roll of film". Many days I felt that I was trying to shoot off that one last frame so that I could get a roll developed only to be followed later by seeing a wealth of images that I wished had taken instead.
1/26/2010 I found myself walking to Starbucks for a cup of coffee, during the break of East Asian photography and video. I kept looking up at the moon that evening, as it seemed to play with the buildings surrounding me. Over the past few years, I have grown weary of taking pictures of buildings in my personal practice, as that was what I was doing at work. I just felt like there was something special about the moon and its light that night. I kept seeing the moon peeking out here or hiding itself there. The images I wanted to take were similar to the image that I had taken earlier in the day for this project except that the night sky had grown black and the buildings were glimmering with light.
1/27/2010 I found myself in Chelsea that afternoon and kept finding images that I wanted to take. I think the one I missed taking the most was one of a fire extinguisher against a white wall. I had just finished reading chromophobia and, as I made my way through several galleries, I kept thinking about the white walls that we put our art on. It made me think about all the other objects hanging on those white walls. The picture was simple — the extinguisher hanging on a sheet of drywall in the corner of a stairwell. The corner was created where the drywall met the white painted brick of the exterior wall. The bricks thrust forward about 6 inches or about the thickness of the fire extinguisher and then turned again away, following the plane of the drywall. The extinguisher was framed so nicely and was just hanging there waiting to be used. It was hanging the same way the art had been hung on the walls of the galleries.
1/28/2010 the image that I made on this day with my cell phone was one that I had seen often for much of my life. I found myself having dinner at Grey's Papaya — eating a staple snack of UWS high school students. As I ate my recession special (2 hot dogs with sauerkraut and an orange drink.) I could not decide which image I wanted to take to remind myself of this moment and many other moments like it. Should I take a picture of the view looking out to find the apple clock over the intersection of 72nd street to discover what time it was. Alternatively, was the picture going to be my 2 hotdogs as they sat on a small white paper plate surrounded by a mustard yellow counter with a small white styrofoam cup sitting right next to them. The missed picture was the food one; as I realized that I am never quite happy with the images I take try to take of food.
1/29/2010 so I almost forgot today, I found myself in a cab riding home at 11:30 without having taken an image. Sitting in the back of the cab, I realized that I wanted a picture of my ride but also realized that using the flash could bother my driver. I have always wanted to take a night picture of the back of a cab driver's head, with the meter centered at the bottom of the frame and a view of the drive going by. Even if the view were a little blurry, the lack of focus would add to the image, reminding me of all the drunken rides home sitting in the back of a cab late at night. There is something special to me about a drunken ride home in a NYC cab. Having grown up in NYC, I knew that it was always able to avoid a drunk driving experience, by raising a hand and finding a ride for you or any friends who might have had too much that night.
1/30/2010 at this point I realized how limited I felt when I had to use my camera phone to take pictures. There was a picture that I wanted to take but realized that without the "bells and whistles" of a SLR (or as I might call it actual control over exposure), I was not going to get the image that I wanted. This evening I was walking up 6th avenue heading to the gym when I saw a bike chained up to a street sign. There was something about the bike sitting there with the helmet attached to the lock that I wanted to capture. After looking at my phones screen and discovering that this camera just could not get the focus right and that the on-board flash could not quite get the lighting right, I decided to just keep walking.
1/31/2010 http://www.adeepriver.com/hanger
2/1/2010 once again the image that I did not take has reference in the one that I did take. The image that was not taken was one of my bathroom sink. For some reason, I was obsessed by shaving cream as a young child. I am sure the reason is linked to watching my father shave in the morning. Actually, I am quite sure this must be a common obsession since my three-year-old nephew received a toy shaving kit for Christmas. On the other hand, I have now grown a beard when I grew tired of the daily shave, and did not see the point of continuing it. I started with a constant Don Johnson look but, when all the partners and art directors at the company where I worked did the same, I realized it was time to grow a beard. Now instead of the shaving cream and hair that you usually find in a man's sink, you will now find just dry clipped hair from trimming my beard. I know it is a trade off but I only have to trim once every a couple of weeks, not once every day. I was hoping to take a picture of this mess in my sink and compare it to the remains of shaving, but I realized that this image was just plane gross, and cleaned up the mess instead.

This exhibition explores the relationship between the United States and Cuba through photographs of the guayabera. The inspiration for this exhibition is a piece by Milagros De La Torre piece titled "Guayabera" from her series "Bulletproof". The guayabera is a formal shirt that is common in Latin America, although its design roots are up for discussion, with many regions claiming it as their own. The origin of the name guayabera too seems to be up for debate but in both instances it is believed that the name is Cuban. Miguel Caballero, a Colombian famous for his bulletproof clothing, designs the guyabera in this image. What I find so intriguing about this image and item is that the guyabera is a summer piece of clothing, light in weight and designed, it is hard to imagine this item of clothing being bulletproof or hiding armor under its seemingly transparent material.
To start to get a handle on the relationship between the United States and Cuba one must first look at the Monroe Doctrine of 1821, which stated that efforts to colonize or interfere with states in the Americas, would be seen as acts of aggression requiring US intervention. At the time Mexico had just revolted from Spain and creating its own government. For the next century Mexico went through revolutions one of which having France place Maximilian I of Mexico (born Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph of Austria) as the head of state. Because of the Monroe Doctrine, the US never recognized him. Of note, the Monroe Doctrine did not stop the US from interfering with Mexico's sovereignty (see Mexican-American war 1846-1848). The first image we will look at is Francois Aubert's Emperor Mazimilian's Shirt.
Next we will consider the Spanish-American War or Cuba's fight for independence. In 1898 the United States went to war with Spain after Spain rejected American demands for resolution of the Cuban fight for independence. It concluded with the signing of a treaty that gave the United States control of Cuba, the Philippians, Puerto Rico, and Guam. It was the first time that the United States took on imperial power and had "colonies." Although the United States had promised independence to Cuba the Platt Amendment, kept Cuba from true sovereignty, allowed for the US to "stabilize" Cuba Militarily and established an US Naval base in Cuba.
There was a long pried of piece between the United States and Cuba for the coming years, so much so that some of Americas Greatest artist were know to spent much time there. Famously Earnest Hemmingway and Walker Evans became friends from an original meeting in Havana, Cuba in May of 1933, Hemmingway moved there full time in 1939.
On January 1, 1959 there was an armed revolt to overthrow Fulgencio Batista, a US backed dictator, by they 26th of July Movement led by Fidel Castro.
On April 17 – 19 1961 there was an unsuccessful attempt to over throw Castro by a US CIA trained force of exiled Cubans. (on January 28, 2008 Mitt Romney wore a guayabera for a speech in Sweetwater Fl, to a mostly Cuban-American crowd, the shirt was given to him by Luis Arrizureita one of the 1400 Cubans to storm the beaches at the bay of pigs)
On June 14, 1994 Castro appeared at the Cartagena de Indias Summit of Heads of State and Government, in the guayabera, for the first time shedding his official uniform. This is the first public appearance Castro made out of his usual military uniform.
In May of 2002 former President Jimmy Carter of the United States of America, visited Cuba. Durning this visit Carter spent time with Castro. This was the first time since 1959 that a current or former president has met with Castro.
In my interpretation of this work, I stray from the Cuba-America theme and take a picture (in much the same style) of the shirt I wore when a stray bullet missed my head by a few inches, piercing the sliding glass door I sat in front of, crossing the room and embedding itself in a wall.
