Exxon confirms Liza FPSO award to SBM Offshore
Following last week's FID, ExxonMobil has formally confirmed the award of contracts for the next phase of the Liza project in Guyana, including the one for Dutch FPSO provider, SBM Offshore.
Back in December, Exxon awarded SBM Offshore contracts to perform Front End Engineering and Design for the Liza FPSO, and, subject to a final investment decision, to construct, install and operate the FPSO.
Following completion of front-end engineering studies and final investment decision made last Friday to proceed with the first phase of development for the Liza field, SBM Offshore said on Thursday it will construct, install, lease and operate a floating production, storage and offloading vessel for the Liza field.
The Liza field is located in the Stabroek block, which covers almost 27,000 square kilometers, circa 200 kilometers offshore Guyana. Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited is the operator and holds a 45 percent interest in the Stabroek block. Hess Guyana Exploration Ltd. holds a 30 percent interest, and CNOOC Nexen Petroleum Guyana Limited holds a 25 percent interest.
According to SBM Offshore, the FPSO is designed to produce up to 120,000 barrels of oil per day, will have associated gas treatment capacity of circa 170 million cubic feet per day and water injection capacity of circa 200,000 barrels per day. The converted VLCC FPSO will be spread moored in water depth of 1525 meters and will be able to store 1.6 million barrels of crude oil.
SBM Offshore CEO, Bruno Chabas, commented: "We are proud that ExxonMobil awarded SBM Offshore the contracts for the Liza FPSO. The Liza Field offshore Guyana is one of the industry's largest oil discoveries of the past decade. We look forward to cooperating closely with our client and partners to make this project a success."
Production from the field is expected to begin by 2020, less than five years after discovery of the field. Phase 1 is expected to cost just over $4.4 billion, which includes a lease capitalization cost of approximately $1.2 billion for the FPSO unit, and will develop approximately 450 million barrels of oil.

Healthy Swap 3 - Ketchup or Hummus?
Romantic and rainy, this monsoon weather calls for a cup of hot adrak chai and snacks with a generous serving of ketchup. It's time we all catch up with Ketchup – the undercover sugar daddy, if you flip the bottle and go on to read what really goes in, it may rain on your parade.
Ketchup is made of tomato concentrate from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder, flavoring, and preservatives.
It constitutes 20kcals in one teaspoon, 0.2grams protein, 5GRAMS SUGAR (yes you heard it right ), NO VITAMINS NO MINERALS and no protein!
Instead, we came across this healthier swap to go with Perfectly with a bowl of hot toasted Makhana and whole wheat lavash sesame sticks – you guessed it right, it's none other than our middle eastern favourite – hummus!
All you've gotta do is pre-cook the chickpeas by boiling them, puree the chickpeas, garlic with the olive oil and tahini together until they are creamy, some lemon juice for a sour punch and salt to taste and voila! Serve by drizzling some more olive oil and paprika.
And the best part is hummus is made of chickpeas which is a great source of protein, tahini, garlic and olive oil. A homemade Hummus has 30kcals, ZERO FAT, 2GRAMS PROTEIN (shocked, isn't it) and NO SUGAR
This season calls for wonderful experiences and guilt-free snacking moment! next time you don't have to worry about dips and dressings and ketchup loaded with added sugar. Hummus got your back.

From HousingWire:
New study reveals least affordable city in North America
Home prices are out of control in markets such as San Francisco and Manhattan, which have the lowest levels of affordability in the U.S., however other cities in North America are still less affordable.
A new study, The International Housing Affordability Survey conducted by Point2Homes, shows the least affordable market in North America is located in Canada. The least affordable market in North America is Vancouver, Canada, where the median home sales price is more than $1.1 million and the median family income is only $63,944.
Vancouver's affordability crisis was fueled by foreign investments in the real estate sector, according to an article by Minh Uong for The New York Times. Now, Vancouver has risen to one of the least affordable housing markets in the world.
The second least affordable market in North America is Manhattan, homes are even more expensive than Vancouver at $1.2 million, however the median income is higher at $77,559.
San Francisco came in as the third least affordable market in North America, and the second least affordable in the U.S. It's median home price is the highest in North America at nearly $1.3 million, but is also holds the highest median income in the U.S. at $92,094.
The chart below shows how many years it would take to pay off a median priced home if borrowers paid 100% of the area's median income toward the mortgage for major North American cities.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Detroit came in as the most affordable city as median income borrowers could pay off their median priced home in just 1.8 years if they dedicated all their income toward their home.

A Vision of Leadership
Recently, I went to a symposium at a non-profit, Leadership Huntsville called, "Mind, Body, and Spirit". I had been asked to speak in this series on spirituality as it relates to leadership. Even as I write I find myself turning it over in my head. Spirituality and leadership. How do the two relate? I will present evidence to them, and as a divorce lawyer, I know my way around evidence, as we become in touch with our spirituality we become better leaders.
We may call our higher power, God, higher consciousness, the Universe, or various other terms to connote something bigger than us. And this something greater, promises us, we can have, do, and be whatever we want. I remember as a child being told, with God nothing was impossible. I took this to heart. Despite humble beginnings, a childhood and young adulthood of being molested and raped, suffering depression, feeling not good enough most of the time, I called on my higher power and went to law school, opened my own firm, and became very successful over the course of a twenty year law career. Nothing is, indeed, impossible.
At the meeting yesterday the speaker concentrated on how we use our minds to become leaders. Our thoughts and words are important in how they shape our actions and those of the people around us. We were asked to articulate what makes a leader great. On my list was:
- Visionary
- Cohesive in thought and action
- A good communicator
- A positive outlook
- Willingness to listen
The premise was we can become better leaders by visualizing our success and seeing challenges as opportunities. "Our attitude is everything". This was the first meeting of the monthly series and the house was packed with managers, business owners, and the leaders of Huntsville wrapping their heads around how their mind can shape their ability to become empowered leaders. I looked around and everyone seemed to be receptive. The principles being taught were the same ones I teach in the Law of Attraction training I have been teaching the last two years, "Infinite Possibilities" created by Mike Dooley.
Thoughts become Things is the foundation of the course. Just as important, our faith. My spirituality has changed. My belief that nothing is impossible hasn't. Our beliefs and faith in ourselves must accompany the vision we have of leadership. In my coaching business people often come to be because they have been utilizing their positive thinking consistently. They have been thinking thoughts of greatness. But time and again they come up against the wall and feel defeated. Most of the time we can find keep digging until we find their belief that's incongruent with their success.
The belief may be "I'm not good enough, I'm not smart enough, I'm not old enough, I don't have family money, my company doesn't make enough money, No one will want to listen to me" and on and on. They may be saying all the write things with their head. But look deeper. Their heart is filled with deeply held often subconscious beliefs that keep them from attaining what they want. I was at a coffee shop with a woman and she was telling me she could accomplish everything she wanted professionally but she couldn't seem to find time to work out for thirty minutes a day or meditate. In a flash I told her, "Because you feel guilty spending time taking care of you, rather than taking care of everyone else". The look on her face was priceless. "Oh my God, that's it". Our beliefs are often ingrained in us from childhood. Somewhere, someone, some situation signaled to us we couldn't do something. Believing we have the right to success, to become leaders, to make decisions that affect others in a positive way, it must accompany our thoughts.
And we have to have faith. Faith we can move mountains, faith in our ability to lead, faith in innovation, faith in others. We have to embrace faith in our power to do anything we want. With God, nothing is impossible. Or within the Universe, or our higher power, whatever it is we tap into as bigger than us, we are invincible as we believe in ourselves imbued with the spirit that lies within us.
What about you? Do you think you are a leader? Do you feel willing and able to take on this role? Go deeper, do you believe you can? And lastly, do you have utter faith that if you have this holy trinity of thoughts, beliefs, and faith you can create whatever you want? Your vision of leadership will become incarnate as you believe and have faith it will.
Love, Light, and Positive Change!

|Symbolic CIA mural created by Loretta Anakin
This is a wonderful montage dedicated to all CIA people, both retired and still working. Loretta Anakin created this Photo Shop picture especially for YOU at the CIA and hopes it warms all your hearts and boosts morale. Her cousin taught her how Photo Shop works.
Loretta put much symbolism into this piece and the concept and labor is all hers. She wishes the CIA will heal it self and rise out of the ashes like the Phoenix, and that the new rising CIA will be autonomous from politician control.

CanSat launch days
On April the 12th, 120 high-school students from all over Europe, divided over 15 teams, arrived at ASK 't Harde. The project they worked on for half a year would come to a spectacular end, when the fruits of their labor, in the form of a flight-ready CanSat, would be launched more than 1 km up in the atmosphere.
Weather conditions were good: the wind allowed the T-Minus CanSat launchers to be launched at a high elevation, so that apogee altitudes of approximately 1250m could be achieved. Four rockets, each carrying five or six CanSats were launched. Some of the teams even had the chance of flying a second time, after not being able to fulfill their mission completely during the first launch. At the end of the launch day, most teams had gathered a large pile of data, waiting to be analyzed later that evening. On the next day, they presented their results at the Space Expo in Noordwijk before an assessment committee. After long and thorough deliberation, team AirSatOne was declared winner of "CanSats in Europe 2013".
Only 6 weeks later, on May 24th, another CanSat launch day was scheduled, this time for 7 teams from the Brussels region. Two T-Minus CanSat launchers loaded with 3 CanSats each were launched to approximately 1250m. The few clouds on the otherwise clear sky provided excellent contrast for good visibility of the launch trajectory and deployment of the CanSats. All CanSats could easily be tracked all the way to the ground with binoculars. Because of this, all CanSats could be retrieved from the impact area by the end of the day. Team Atmos was declared winner of the first ever Brussels CanSat competition.

– hand-knotted Chinese silk
– 100% silk
– 100 knots per inch
– 5mm pile
– made to order
Chinese River was originally introduced as a hand-tufted design. Due to its popularity, we reinterpreted it in all silk and substantially altered the composition and palette (the chocolate color way is wool with silk accents). Recolored and moved to hand-knotted construction, the once playful and textured ode to Asian vertical art work becomes an elegant, heirloom quality rug, timeless in it's quality and composition.

Kybella® Pre and Post Procedure Care
Kybella® Pre-Procedure Care
- You may not be treated if you are pregnant or nursing, have difficulty swallowing, nerve injury or weakness in the lower face, or an infection in the area. Inform your medical provider if you are on blood thinners, or have had procedures or surgery of your lower face or neck.
- Please notify the Spa if you have been prescribed antibiotics or have taken antibiotics in the last 2 weeks prior to you appointment.
- Avoid aspirin for 10 days, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), other non-steroidal medications (Aleve) and Vitamin E, St. John's Wort, and fish oil supplements for 5 days prior to the procedure, because these medications will make you more likely to bruise. If you have been prescribed one of these medications, ask your doctor before you stop taking it. Tylenol will not cause bruising and is preferred for the week prior to treatment. To avoid possible discomfort, you may take 1g of acetaminophen (i.e. Tylenol) or NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen) one hour prior to your scheduled appointment.
- Plan your procedure so that you can have 4 full days before returning to work or important social engagements.
- Have ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) and Zyrtec (an antihistamine) available at home for discomfort and itching that may result from the procedure.
Kybella® Post-Procedure Care
- You should expect swelling and redness. You may also experience bruising, pain, numbness, and induration. This will normally last less than 5 days, and for some patients may last up to 14 days. If the symptoms continue beyond 10 days or if other reactions occur, please contact the office.
- You may elect to ice the area post treatment but must do so very carefully. Use an ice pack with the fabric side against the skin, or wrap a soft plastic ice pack in a wet thin towel. Apply the ice pack approximately 15 seconds on, and 15 seconds off. Icing too vigorously can cause frostbite and scarring. You may apply a cold compress to the area for 20 minutes per hour, and you may do this hourly for up to 3 days.
- Do not participate in strenuous activity for 3 days following treatment
- Sleep with your head elevated on at least 2 and preferably 3 pillows.
- Do not scratch, pick or traumatize the area in any way. Do not massage or manipulate the injection site.
- You may apply your normal skin care regimen and sunscreen normally.
- Call the office if you have any difficulty swallowing, crusting or scabbing, asymmetry of your smile or any other unusual symptoms.
Frequently Asked Questions
We've compiled a list of the most common questions that VIO Med Spa receives about Kybella®.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients experience visible results in 2 to 4 treatment sessions. During these sessions, your HCP will administer KYBELLA® into the fat under your chin using multiple injections. Up to 6 treatment sessions may be administered spaced no less than one month apart.
How long will results last?
Treatments with KYBELLA® may last indefinitely.

Question: Genetic Map in HapMap based on which population?

I need to get the genetic map position for some SNPs so I downloaded the HapMap genetic map file provided here: http://hapmap.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/downloads/recombination/
However I couldn't find any information regarding on which population this genetic map was based on. The README file only points to the 2007 HapMap Nature paper but I couldn't find any information there.
Thank you!
Ps. I also found a genetic map using 1k genomes Phase 3 based and all populations. Is 1kG more reliable than the HapMap genetic map?

Paul Saussez has been officially appointed to prepare an application for archaeological investigations in the St Mary Magdalene church at Rennes-le-Chateau. This decision was reached unanimously by RLC's municipal council on 24/08/11
As the Church is a listed building, no excavation can be carried out without the approval of the French authorities, which have so far refused any permission without more concrete evidence there is something under the church to be discovered.
The Brussels architect and Rennes-le-Château researcher Paul Saussez has done extensive research into the church and the existence of a crypt. By studying the architecture of the church, its past renovations, the parish register, the archives of the diocese, and similar churches in the area, he has composed a number of 3D images that were published on the website www.renneslechateau.com - The Lords of Rennes's tomb - click link and scroll down to Paul Saussez and choose the link you want. Its in French so use Google to translate.
Paul Saussez published his findings and 3D images in 2002.
Rennes-le-Chateau Church ( Copyright Paul Saussez )
Saussez was able to locate and demonstrate in a 3D model the tomb of the Lords of Rennes and explain in detail how the tomb was hidden, how Saunière discovered it and how it has now been hidden.
Rennes-le-Chateau Church Crypt ( Copyright Paul Saussez )
Rennes-le-Chateau Church Crypt Steps ( Copyright Paul Saussez )
Interview with Paul Saussez ... In the tomb of the Lords ...
Crypt Excavation Plan of Action
The objective is to dig beneath the church, starting with the apse underneath which there is a strong possibility of finding a crypt (cavities detected by the Eisenman and Heygate GPR soundings in 2003 and 2008 respectively), then proceed westward underneath the nave, where, again, there is a strong possibility of finding the seigneurial burial vault, which is known to exist according to the 1694-1724 parish register found by Corbu & Captier in Saunière's papers, and -according to my sources- which has been detected by the Heygate investigations in 2008.
In order to proceed with minimal damage to the existing structures, Saunière's "secret room" (built in 1891/1892) will have to be dismantled then rebuilt after the dig; another possibility, with no dismantling/rebuilding, is to dig from the cemetery, provided there are no obstructing graves.
Whatever is found will have to be "stabilised", i.e. temporarily stored in a safe place nearby for cleaning, etc., and a decision will have to be made whether the material will be put back in place or prepared for exhibition in a museum or a similar facility.
A more delicate issue is how to handle and what to do with the human remains which will most certainly be found.
It is also anticipated that various artefacts such as engraved tombstones, items of clothing, personal jewelry, weapons, etc. will also be found.
One of my first asks will of course be to find a suitable archaeologist: I have a particular one in mind, but it's far too early to speculate.
Another hefty task will be to secure financing for the operation: I will have to approach various private foundations.
DRAC will of course come into the picture, but at a later stage.

Take the Top Off Your Convertible!
I took the top off my convertible last weekend.
And the earth moved.
Yes, yes, thank you, all of you jokesters for your insight: The earth only appeared to be moving as I zipped along at 70 mph up Texas Highway 290, on my way to see the bluebonnets. Everyone knows it was really the car that was moving.
But of course I'm not talking about the earth or the car. As you might expect, I'm describing an inner experience: a major shift in my spirit and body.
The top off my convertible, my car flying down the road, I glowed with happiness and light, feeling a blast of freedom, potential, and reconnection to the joy of life.
The experience was so simple, so easy, and felt so good.
"Why," I asked myself, hair flying, heart uplifted, happily gunning my car and feeling its power, "did it take me so long to do this?!"
It had been five years since I took the top off my convertible. And from a practical perspective, I know what took me so long.
I have a 1978, two-seater Mercedes, which in winter looks like a normal classic car with a hard top. But what many don't know is this: Lift off the hard top and voila! Instant convertible.
The problem is the hidden challenge: The top is very heavy, requires two people to lift it, and needs a garage or other secure place to store it. Which, for a person who has lived in more than 18 places over the last 5 years, hasn't allowed for much top popping.
Except…Except…blame it on some comments after a session with my spiritual healer and massage therapist friend:
Her statement: "Hmm, it appears that "You have it all right now."
The translation: (A basic teaching of many spiritual practices) "You have everything you need to be happy right now, in your current circumstances, whatever they may be."
My thoughts as I drove home: If I really believed that, how would that change my life? How might I be limiting my life right now, without even realizing it?
And then the invitation came from a fellow member of my photography group: To come to her ranch in the countryside and enjoy and photograph the sea of bluebonnet fields that are stunning in Texas at spring time.
I flashed on a memory of the first time I saw Texas bluebonnets. A friend surprised me by picking me up in his little Triumph convertible, the top down.
"You must see bluebonnet country in a convertible," he said. "There's nothing like the sight, and smell, and pure sensuousness of the experience." (He was right.)
I had to live that ultimate bluebonnet experience again. And here I was with a convertible! Almost forgotten, overshadowed by more recent identities as mini-moving van, New Mexico touring car, and ongoing restoration project, I knew there was still a convertible in the heart of that car.
I thought of my friend's comment. Hmm, all I needed was right here. OK, then all I had to do was find the other supportive pieces: someone to help me take the top off, and a place to store it.
No problem about finding someone to help me; I had done that before pretty easily. It was the "no place to store it" belief that usually stopped me cold.
This time, however, I intensely wanted my convertible in the bluebonnets experience. I forced myself to push harder, challenge my belief a bit more. What other options did I have?
I thought about a friend's pool room. I considered my mechanic's place. I entertained the idea of asking my neighbor, who used his second bedroom as a storage room.
Running through ideas, and feeling my hesitation, I realized that it wasn't just the lack of a storage place that had stopped me before. I was also uncomfortable asking for a favor, possibly imposing on someone who could provide that for me.
But the day was too beautiful, the urge for freedom too strong. And after all, what are friends for?
I picked up the phone and called a friend with a garage. He said yes immediately.
I was overjoyed…and amazed. Were the joys of life really this simple?
So last weekend you would have seen me on the perfect day, ecstatically zooming along the highway (more leisurely on back roads , the sun and air on my skin, filled with the feeling of release and freedom that every convertible and fast car lover understands.
I'm happy to report that I experienced fields and fields of bluebonnets, set my photographer soul free, and ended the perfect day with a beautiful sunset and an evening of food and wine with my wonderful hosts and photographer friends.
And now I'm intrigued.
What other beliefs in my life might be keeping me from enjoying the here and now? What else do I have that I'm not taking advantage of?
"Take the top off! Drive on, girl", I say.

Paperboy Summary & Study Guide Description
Paperboy Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to help you understand the book. This study guide contains the following sections:
This detailed literature summary also contains Quotes and a Free Quiz on Paperboy by Vince Vawter.
Paperboy is an award winning novel by Vince Vawter. In this book, a young boy with a stutter takes over his friend Rat's paper route while Rat is visiting his grandparents. The young boy struggles with his stutter to such a degree that he is frightened for Friday, collection day, to come around. While working this route and collecting the money, the boy meets a beautiful, but troubled woman. She is a scholar who appears to be the only stranger to truly understand the boy's speech trouble. Paperboy is a novel that not only explores the unique struggles of someone with a speech impediment, but it is a coming of age novel that takes the main character from a boy afraid of his own malfunctioning speech to a boy who helps rescue his housekeeper from a violent man intent on killing her.
The narrator is an eleven year old boy called Little Man with a profound stutter. He is highly intelligent. In fact, he has been promoted a grade above his peers. However, his speech impediment has caused him to become quiet and withdrawn in class.
Little Man's friend, Rat, has a paper route. Little Man agrees to take over the paper route for the month of July, when Rat goes to visit his grandparents on their farm. Little Man is excited to throw the paper each day, but he is nervous about collecting the money each Friday evening. This will require him to speak to strangers who are not aware of his stutter. Little Man always becomes nervous in these situations, which only increases his stutter.
On the first day, Little Man is practicing difficult words that begin with R and B as he throws each paper. When he tries the word 'pitch', the woman at the house where he is throwing the paper thinks he has said a bad word. Little Man's stutter only grows more profound as he attempts to explain what he was really doing. Since he's unable to provide a verbal explanation, he writes a note to the woman and leaves it at her house later that night.
On Friday Miss Nellie Avent (Mam), the Vollmer family's maid, offers to go with Little Man on his collection rounds. Little Man refuses, however, aware that this is his responsibility and he must do it alone. Most of the houses leave the paper money clipped to the door or mailbox for Little Man. However, he is forced to ask for the money and say the difficult N sound in "ninety-five cents" when he stops at one particular house.
That first night, Little Man also meets Mr. Spiro. Mr. Spiro helps him when he accidentally causes himself to faint while trying to say the difficult "V" sound in his real name. Mr. Spiro speaks to Little Man like he is a normal person, waiting patiently for him to spit out his words instead of rushing him like most strangers do. Mr. Spiro also gives Little Man a quarter of a dollar bill as a tip with the word "Student" written carefully on it. Mr. Spiro promises Little Man another piece of the bill each week for the remainder of the month.
Early in his job as the paperboy, Little Man gave a local junk man his knife to be sharpened. The junk man, who is named Ara T, refuses to give the knife back. Little Man finally tells Mam about the missing knife. Mam disappears for several days afterward and returns with a bruised and battered face. Mam refuses to tell Little Man what happened, but he suspects Ara T is responsible. Little Man sets about trying to find his knife. He is almost caught searching through Ara T's hideaway.
Little Man continues to meet with Mr. Spiro each week. At each meeting, Mr. Spiro answers Little Man's questions honestly and intelligently while forcing the narrator to orally ask his questions. Once Mr. Spiro helps Little Man recite a poem he wrote by saying it with him. Mr. Spiro also gives Little Man two more pieces of the dollar bill. These say "Servant" and "Seller."
Near the end of the month, Little Man discovers that his bedroom has been broken into after he accidentally left a ladder outside his window. Mam becomes angry and instructs Little Man to go to Rat's house while she takes care of something. Little Man disobeys Mam and follows her to Ara T's hideaway. From there, they catch a bus and go to a section of town where there are bars on every corner. When Mam finds Ara T's cart, she instructs Little Man to hide inside. Little Man becomes overwhelmed by the smell, however, and follows Mam into the bar. When he enters, Little Man finds Mam pinned to the wall by an intoxicated and enraged Ara T. Little Man distracts Ara T by throwing a beer bottle at his head. Mam escapes Ara T's clutches and grabs Little Man's knife from Ara T's coat pocket, stabbing him in the arm. A moment later, Big Sack, the man who mows the Vollmer's lawn, comes into the bar and assures Mam and Little Man that he will take care of things.
Mr. Spiro leaves on a trip. However, before he goes, he gives Little Man the last piece of the dollar bill, which says "Seeker." Little Man decides he has until Mr. Spiro returns to figure out what it all means. When Little Man returns to school a few weeks later, he no longer worries about what people think of his stutter. He stands in class and speaks his name, Victor Vollmer, and recites his favorite things without noticing the titters of the students around him. His job as the paperboy has taught Victor that there are more important things than worrying over a little embarrassment.

Betta Living fell into administration with the loss of 300 jobs after last-ditch offers to either refinance or sell the home improvement retailer fell through, it has been revealed. Newly published documents also show that the company's unsecured creditors are facing a near £7m shortfall on their debts.
Dean House Ltd, which traded as Betta Living, entered administration in November 2016, with Anthony Collier and Benny Woolrych of FRP Advisory appointed to handle the case. All 300 staff across the Oldham-headquartered company's portfolio of 24 stores across the UK were made redundant shortly afterwards.
The business was founded in 1966 and established itself as a specialist in designing and installing fitted kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms. It expanded significantly from 2013 onwards with sales topping £46m in the year ending November 2014.
However, a report by FRP said the growth was predominantly driven by the addition of 15 retail stores. But the extra shops significantly increased overheads and, combined with underperforming trading, led to the company incurring pre-tax losses of almost £1.3m in the year to November 2015.
A turnaround strategy was implemented in late 2015, which included a store reduction programme and a £700,000 cash injection from majority shareholder Noel Dean alongside enhanced working capital facilities from NatWest and Shawbrook Bank.
With the turnaround plan in place, corporate finance boutique Rickitt Mitchell was instructed in July 2016 to seek a sale of the business. Two offers were received but both bids were withdrawn the following month following due diligence.
The administrators said a refinance was attempted in September at £2.5m but this offer was later reduced to £1.8m and £1.1m, which would have been insufficient to deal with Betta Living's funding requirements. The worsening cash-flow position of the business also scuppered a separate solvent sale.
The report from Collier and Woolrych added: "The directors of the company made a last effort to resolve the funding situation and ensure the company's solvency, approaching two of the company's existing funders on 3 November. However, both confirmed that they were unable to support the company to the required level.
"Across the two sale processes undertaken by both Rickitt Mitchell and FRP, over ten competitors and 25 private equity houses were approached in relation to a sale of the business as a going concern, in addition to a number of potential lenders in respect to the refinance, however it was ultimately not possible to secure a transaction through either."
Following the appointment of administrators, they completed the sale of Betta Living's order book, customer database and intellectual property for £3 and agreed a licence fee for plant and machinery of £12,000 plus VAT per month to We Fit Any Furniture, a company created by the former management of Betta Living and owned by Noel Dean.
Meanwhile, the report sheds light on the prospects facing Betta Living's creditors.
NatWest is owed approximately £1.2m and is expected to be repaid in full, while fellow secured creditor Noel Dean has debts totalling £844,000 although he is likely to suffer a shortfall on this amount.
Preferential creditor claims are set at £201,000, which covers employees' pay arrears, unpaid pension contributions and holiday pay. Administrators said that it is currently uncertain whether there will be sufficient funds to enable a distribution.
Unsecured creditors are claiming a total of £6.9m, of which £6m is from trade creditors while the remainder comes from employees in respect of redundancy pay and payment in lieu of notice. Based on current estimates, there is no prospect of a dividend to these unsecured creditors.

text: 14Issue 2 | 2012 www.exhibition-world.netAIRPORT VENUESirport venues are increasingly popular for heavy equipment shows as well as the air shows for which they were typically built. The prospect of exhibitors landing their equipment and simply crossing a strip of tarmac to lay their products out for incoming visitors poses quite an incentive, as does the prospect of saving the cost and inconvenience of sleeping in a hotel and dropping in and out of a hotel on the same day. It certainly works for venues such as Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland, home to the Geneva International Motor Show. Recent research by AMR International indicates that a lack of freedom to spend time away from the offi ce has led to reduced hours in the exhibition halls.The fact hasn't escaped the notice of two venues in development in Germany and Dubai, and another being planned in the US, looking to up the ante for organisers running major equipment shows and, of course, big international air shows.In Berlin a new multi-purpose exhibition centre titled Berlin ExpoCenter Airport is almost ready for completion, due in May/June 2012. The venue is just 800 metres from Berlin's new BER airport, a future international hub near the village of Selchow.The 50,000sqm venue is already scheduled to host exhibitions including the Berlin Air Show (ILA) and a launch fashion industry event Panorama. An outdoor display area for spectators and access routes covering 100,000sqm will also be built for this year's edition of the show.The Al-Maktoum International Airport in Dubai is developing its own 'Aerotropolis' at the heart of the new 150sqkm Dubai World Central, a strategic LANDING THE BIG SHOWSA NEW BATCH OF AIRPORT EXHIBITION CENTRES IS MAKING ITS WAY ONTO THE GLOBAL VENUE SCENE. EW TAKES A LOOK AT THREE THAT HOPE TO TAKE THE LION'S SHARE OF HEAVY PRODUCT EVENTS initiative by the Government of Dubai. The site includes a dedicated exhibition area, a factor behind it winning the 2013 Dubai Air Show. "There are hundreds of aerospace-dedicated events, and more than half the market comes to Dubai because we now have the ideal space for it," Alison Weller, MD of organiser F&E Aerospace, tells EW.Take-off in the desertsIt's in Las Vegas where perhaps the most signifi cant new airport development is unfolding. A new company has been set up to develop and build a 92,000sqm venue on the outskirts of the desert city.AeroQuestUSA is making plans for a new exhibition and convention centre on the site of Henderson Airport, 24km south of the city's largest convention centre; the Las Vegas Sands Expo and Convention Centre.AeroQuestUSA's president and CEO Kenneth Gazzola says the venue is being built with large equipment and utility shows in mind; shows he claims "don't currently exist in Las Vegas". The loading areas at the venue are designed to be oversized to accommodate air shows, boat shows or other large equipment events."While the number of aerospace and defence shows in Las Vegas is currently small, we hope to grow this segment," adds AeroQuestUSA business development director Lisa Mayo-DeRiso. "Las Vegas has a solid history in this industry, with Nellis and Creech air force bases and the Nevada Test and Training Range." Watch this (aero) space.

Gabion stone is used for the stabilisation and control of both Thirsk earthworks and river works. Most commonly placed in baskets and stacked neatly to hold back the land for stabilisation is does look very attractive if well placed and suitably handled by contractors. Although this is the most common use for gabion it can be used in a rockery to make a really attractive and low maintenance garden feature due to the colour and the angular nature of the gabion it looks very natural when placed well as a design feature in a garden.
In addition, Gabion Stone can be seen in and around the Thirsk area as a feature on the top of dry stone walling, it differs from traditional walling stone as it is not such a slab but a more angular material meaning that it needs to be hand-picked for this application. If done well it complements the dry stone wall and fits in well with the natural surroundings, if you have seen our gabion stone you may well spot it as you drive around the North Yorkshire countryside!

Today, more and more iPhone users prefer WhatsApp, and this is not strange because this is a beautiful tool to communicate. This app allows instant messaging for Apple, Windows, and Android. With WhatsApp, users can communicate with each other with text, voice, and images.
In most cases, WhatsApp chats are essential, and losing them can be a big problem. For the restoring chats, a lot of people apply to specialized companies such as Hard Drive Recovery San Antonio and others. While a few try to solve this problem in your own way.
Losing data is the worst thing that can happen to a person. The question is not how much a person is tied to the phone, but how much this data means to him. In other words, for novice users, data loss is like loss of simple documents, but for those whose work is directly related to the computer and smartphone, loss of data can mean loss of output files. In such a case, data recovery is a beneficial option, which solves a lot of problems. Lost data does not disappear at one point; some part of it can be restored.
How to recover deleted WhatsApp messages?
The first and the most straightforward way of recovering WhatsApp messages is the program Renee iPhone Recovery. The first step is to download it on a computer. Next step is to connect your phone to the computer and open this program. There will be the button "Start Scanning" on which you have to click. After the scanning, choose the files and chats and click the "Recover."
WhatsApp message recovery can be made with the help of iCloud. First of all, check whether you did a backup iCloud copy. If the backup was made, you should delete this app form your phone and download it again. After that, you will see the proposition to recover the chats. Click on it, and your messages will be recovered in seven days.
There is the chance to restore deleted WhatsApp messages with the help of iTunes backup. This operation is quite simple. You need to open the program and click the button "Restore Backup." Find there the messages which you want to recover and click on them.
Another way of restoring messages is specialized companies and programs that will recover all necessary information in no time. Currently, data recovery software is a trendy solution. However, the thing is that not every firm on the market are reliable. For this reason, it is worth to approach this issue very seriously because it depends on the fate of your files. Very good in this case is that a person can in an easy way to get information and see the reviews about that or another company.

Have you decided to purchase your first fishing boat? How exciting! Before you start searching for area lobster boats for sale, though, here are a few things you should know about buying your first boat.
1. Decide how you will use the boat so that you can figure out exactly which type you need. Will you only be fishing, or will you also be cruising with friends and maybe engaging in water sports, too?
2. Do you want a big boat or one on the smaller side? The larger the boat, the more amenities you'll get. However, there are also more systems to learn and operate. Plus, big boats don't always fit on a trailer.
3. You can either buy a new boat or get one used. New boats shouldn't give you any trouble, but they're much more expensive than a previously-used boat. However, they also come with a warrantee and support from the manufacturer, which may be worth more to you than saving a few bucks.
4. If you're not able to pay for the right in full, look into marine lenders – their specialty will be in boat loans.
Buying a boat is great because it lets you explore areas that you wouldn't otherwise have access to. Recreational boats are about more than just transportation, though, so take your time when making a decision about which one to buy.

"Clanton seems to have a similar uncanny knack as artists like John Maus and Ariel Pink for creating soaring, unabashedly dramatic classic pop, and it's clear after one listen to legit anthems like "Bleed" and "It Makes the Babies Want To Cry" that '80s MTV heroes like Tears For Fears and New Order are obvious reference points. But this is pop music refracted and warped through Clanton's singular and unmistakably modern lens, as he manages to turn vaporwave, chillwave, and other assorted internet-genre-waves on their collective ear, ultimately transcending all of it in the name of undeniable, timeless jams that could only exist in 2015, songs that can be at once subversive, funny, dark, poignant, and deeply affecting." - Gorilla Vs Bear

Organization hub
I've decided to turn my current cork board into a sort of organization hub for appointments, etc, that I can than put into my Hipster when need be. However, I don't know what else to put on it other than a calendar. This is probably going to sound stupid, but since you guys have been keeping organazied far longer than I have, I figured I'd ask here.
What else, other than a calender, would be good to put on my organazation hub?
Nothing Yet
Don't put anything on your corkboard yet.
When you run across a thing that needs to be there, it will tell you so. There is no need to try to guess what should be there.
Having said that, I'd find a paper or thin plastic cup to stick some pens and pencils in, and attach that to your board.
The real answer to your question is this:
What do you need to keep accessible?
What will you use if it's hanging there that won't get used if it's stuffed in a drawer?
Will hanging something there prevent it from getting used?
Well, the only thing I need
Well, the only thing I need is a calander so far, I guess. I have a pencil that I really like, and I don't like using other pencils, so I don't really need a cup...
Maybe I'll go to Staples after I buy the stuff I need right now (books, etc), and see what I can find.
i have my most used telephone contact list, emergency phone #'s, Biz card for insurance agents, etc. I also hang bills due on the board (if i put them in a file on my desk, i will forget about them), mail that needs to be sent out, grocery/errand list...
does that spark inspiration?
nay any
I think I'll just put a
I think I'll just put a calender up there for now, and see if anything else needs to be put up there.

Quick Tip!
One of my favorite products is Pop Dots... I love these things! They are wonderful to bring just that little "extra" to your projects and help give more dimension!
Here are a few examples:
So the next time your project is feeling a little flat, pick out an element and slip some pop dots behind them and give your project a little extra umph!
thanks for stopping by! :)

text: NEW RESULTS: Enzyme-assisted processing increases antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of bilberry 18.11.2008 10:30 Page Image Page ContentPuupponen-Pimiä et al. investigated the effects of nine cell wall-degrading enzymes on the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of bilberry. Antimicrobial activity was measured using the human pathogens Salmonella enterica sv. Typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus as test strains. Enzyme treatments liberated phenolics from the cell wall matrix, which clearly increased the antimicrobial activity of berry juices, press cakes, and berry mashes on the basis of plate counts. Antibacterial effects were stronger against Salmonella than against Staphylococcus bacteria. In general, the increase in activity measured as colony-forming units per milliliter was 3-5 logarithmic units against Salmonella and 1-2 units against Staphylococcus bacteria. Increase in antimicrobial activity was observed only in acidic conditions, which is also the natural environment in various berry products, such as juices. The activity profile of the pectinase preparation affected the chemistry of the phenolics due to the presence of deglycosylating activities in some preparations. The difference in phenolic profiles was reflected in the antimicrobial effects.
