Archangel Gabriel ~ Reclaiming Your Power
The Gabriel Message Card for this Week:
No One Has Power Over You Unless You Allow It To Happen.
This is a very interesting message to receive. Sometimes we are not even aware that we are giving our power away to another person.
The message is not speaking about physical safety so much as the everyday situations when we disrespect ourselves and lose energy in the presence of another.
It is not only people; we also give our power away to the circumstances of our lives. The often colorful meanings and labels we attach to these situations amplifies our emotional state and can throw us off center.
For me, I know I have given my power away when I notice that there is an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach, and I start to feel obligated to the other person. That is the clue for me. When I am aware of what is going on, the first thing I do is to ask Archangel Michael to come and fill my solar plexus with golden light. Archangel Michael is a powerful protector for us all. He is also the Archangel who is most concerned with the awakening of all humanity during this time of ascending energy.
The solar plexus is our power center and is the chakra most involved with the ability to stay centered and detached from overwhelm in our emotional state.
Archangel Michael,
I call on your assistance at this crucial time. Please bring the power of your Golden Light of Protection into my solar plexus right now. Clear away any discordant energy and allow me to be filled with your golden light. As I open to receive this gift, I can feel myself growing more balanced in my own power, and staying centered in my interactions with others.
Fill me with the presence of Strength and Courage so that I may take care of myself in the most truly loving ways. Thank you for guiding me into only those situations that are in my highest good at this time. I give thanks for relationships that are in harmony with my soul's growth in every area of my life.
Please surround me in 3 rings of Golden Light every day so I may feel the presence of safety within me. Thank you for your assistance, strength and protection at all times. And so it is.
The Gabriel Messages Book #44
No one has power over you unless you allow it to happen.
Dear One,
When you are in a situation where you begin to feel powerless and less than another, this can be viewed as a wake-up call. We are referring here to any situation in which you feel devalued, not necessarily one of obvious abuse.
If there is another person who wants to have a certain level of power over you, consciously or unconsciously, your physical body is often a good indicator that something is not right. You may notice a feeling of discomfort in your solar plexus area. Perhaps a weight descends on your shoulders, and your head hangs down. Paying attention to your bodily discomfort can help you become aware and allow you to disengage yourself from the situation.
When you feel strong in yourself, you are less likely to stay in situations that may harm you, or allow others to treat you with disrespect. You do not have to stay in places or around people who do not give you the respect you deserve. However, it is also not necessary to react in anger. As much as possible, stay in your heart, bless the person or people involved and remove yourself from the situation.
When you feel strong within, good about yourself and centered, the area of your solar plexus is filled with energy. When you begin to feel drained, that is literally what is happening to you. When we say no one has power over you unless you allow it to happen, this is the first place where your power is given away. It is time now time to take it back.
Sometimes people become so used to being devalued, dis-empowered and talked down to, they accept this as a natural state. It is not. Every soul on earth deserves to be treated with respect. To stay strong in yourself, steps must be taken so that you feel your inner power, that connection to the light of Pure Spirit that is within you. The solar plexus is the area most affected by the power maneuvers of another person, so the following visualization is helpful in achieving and maintaining your center of balance.
Breathe with conscious awareness into the area from your rib cage to below your navel. Imagine this area filled with the warm glow of a huge sun and allow this bright, golden light to radiate out from this place within you and to fill your entire being. Then see or feel this light moving from the base of your spine into the earth, so you can be connected to that rich, nurturing and grounding presence. Continue visualizing the golden light of the sun filling your solar plexus, centering you with a clear, steadying power that will allow you to take the necessary steps to care for yourself. With practice, you can draw on the calming power of this light and the steadying presence of the earth whenever needed.
Begin today to respect yourself. Know that you are a radiant child of God and that you have purpose, presence and connection to all the love in the universe. Call on your Guardian Angels at all times and know that you are guided and protected by the light of God. Begin to know your personal connection to a Higher Power, the true power containing all the energy you need to do whatever is required in your life. Fill yourself with the golden light of the sun and feel the nurturing presence of the earth beneath your feet. Reclaim your true power and remember you are never alone.
Your message from Archangel Gabriel today is:
No one has power over you unless you allow it to happen.

Recently I was invited to visit with a group of hunters in NE Oregon. Emotions were hidden by dark sunglasses and tears were forced to be unshed as they each explained what makes Hunt of a Lifetime so special to them, as men, as hunters, and as mentors. This was a special group, I knew it from the start and was even more convinced as my time with them lingered into evening, ending with a prime rib dinner and some photos of the group with the trophy elk, taken by 15-year-old cancer survivor, Collin Wilcox.
By Lori Kimbel
Clay McEnroe, of Baker County, Oregon has been involved with Hunt of a Lifetime for 11 years and has taken 40 kids on successful elk, antelope and mule deer hunts. Five premium access tags are set aside for Hunt of a Lifetime hunts in northeast Oregon, with each hunt lasting between four and five days.
"This isn't real elk hunting," McEnroe emphasizes, "someone looks out for us."
McEnroe is the representative for northeast Oregon, but he is the first to tell you he couldn't do it without the group of people that have come together over the past several years, volunteering their time and making dreams come true for the kids that come from all over the United States to go on the hunts provided by the Hunt of a Lifetime Foundation.
McEnroe's son Taylor has been involved with Hunt of a Lifetime since he was 14, he is now 25. The two scout for animals, so that once the hunter arrives there is a pretty good idea of where the elk, deer or antelope are.
When Tom Lager, owner of Timber Tiger Lodge, first heard about the Hunt of a Lifetime, he knew instantly he wanted to be involved.
"We wanted to give them a place to stay," said Lager, who also serves as a part-time film maker of the hunts, "so we offered for everyone to come to the lodge. It is all for the kids, to put a smile on their face."
Timber Tiger Lodge is located in the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon. With the Eagle Cap Mountains in the distance andBaker Valley below, the view is spectacular; a great place to relax before and after a big hunt.
Ron Ross also comes from Silverdale, Washington and spends every September feeding the visitors of Timber Tiger Lodge during Hunt of a Lifetime hunts. "September I'm just gone from home to be here," said Ross.
"He is a jack of all trades and we use every single one of them. We have even helped him discover a few more," said Betty Bottger, Lager's girlfriend and willing volunteer at the lodge.
Ross donates all of the food for the Hunt of a Lifetime guests. From lasagna to prime rib, his cooking is a favorite among hunters and volunteers alike.
Brent Woolard is from Silverdale, Washington and does a fabulous job capturing memories and putting together DVD's for the northeast Oregon kids that participate in hunt of a lifetime, according to Bottger.
Collin Wilcox happened to be one of the kids that realized his dream of hunting an elk late in the summer of 2015. Collin made the trip from Wisconsin to Oregon with his dad, Kevin Wilcox.
"This has been an absolute dream for both of us," explained Kevin. "The enthusiasm of all these guys, they are all just having fun, it's amazing."
Once the hunt is completed and the hunters have returned home the meat from the animal is processed and shipped to them. They also receive a shoulder mount of their animal. For Collin that means a huge 6 x 7 point elk from Oregon will soon be hanging in the living room of his home in Wisconsin.
Collin was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at the age of 13, he wasn't about to let it take his love of hunting, fishing and the outdoors away. However, Osteosarcoma can be relentlessly painful and it isn't always easy to just ignore the pain and go about your day to day activities, but Collin gave it his best shot.
"Everything changed when we got the diagnosis," said Kevin. "We instantly got thrown into a fire fight. We were in shock and we knew we just had to gather our strength. Fortunately my wife and I work for a company that lets us take time off. We always tried to just stay positive. Collin and I would go out in the boat after dinner until dark. Never once has he said 'I don't feel good' on the boat, or when we are hunting."
Osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone cancer and it typically starts in bone cells in the arms, legs, or pelvis. The disease most frequently occurs in people between the ages of 10 and 30 and it is also more common in males then it is in females.
For Collin, Osteosarcoma meant losing his knee and femur which would later be replaced by a prosthetic rod invented in Great Britain. Collin underwent two rounds of chemo before a 12 hour surgery each round lasting four weeks. After surgery he received five more rounds of chemo every four weeks. Collin endured 30 weeks of chemo at the Children's Hospital of Milwaukie.
Kevin shared that he would often find Collin in other parts of the children's hospital playing games with intercity kids, some more sick then himself. Many of the intercity kids arrived at the hospital in a taxi, with no one to worry, or care about them outside the hospital.
"It was amazing when you went into the 'hot unit' and you would see kids smiling," said Kevin. "Somehow, with all they are going through they can still reach out and find happiness."
Now, after a year of treatment, Collin's cancer is gone and he has just completed the hunting trip of a lifetime where he was able to stalk, and take a bull elk thanks to a group of people that have dedicated their lives in helping young people realize their hunting dreams.
Collin will continue to be checked by his doctors every three months for the next 10 years and once back home he will share his Oregon Hunt of a Lifetime story with others.
"I'm blessed to have a future," said Collin who was fortunate enough to get time off work to make the trip. A normal day for Collin includes milking 275 cows each morning, a daunting task for a 15-year-old, but he seems to be well able to get the job done.
"We do it because this is what we enjoy doing," said McEnroe, with a sincere smile as he wrestled a bit with a rambunctious Collin, a true typical 15-year-old, who was not quite ready to leave the lodge and the people that would forever be a part of his memories of his very own hunt of a lifetime.
Danny Benson is the Oregon Ambassador for the Oregon Chapter of Hunt of a Life time, which was started in 2002.
"I have set up 69 kids that have come to, or been from Oregon, for the dream hunt," said Benson. "All have been successful not only being able to take the trophy they wanted but in them having some time to enjoy live in the outdoors and forget about their problem. I have not be able to go on every hunt but on the ones that I have it is the joy in the child's eye, the smiles and sometime the tears that make this a great program."
Ryan Leonnig was also very involved in Collin's hunt. He and Collin bonded quickly and enjoyed taking the UTV out on excursions around the lodge after the hunt was complete.
Since being home Collin misses all of the men he met in Oregon and truly admires Clay for what he did for him and all of the guys he met there. He also says he could never thank Tina enough for starting Hunt of a Lifetime. He feels sad for her to know she had to loose her own son for this to happen. He is very thankful for what she has done.
Hunt of a Lifetime is a nonprofit organization, created by Tina Pattison, with a mission to grant hunting and fishing dreams for children, age 21 and under, who have been diagnosed with life threatening illnesses.
When Tina Pattison's son Matthew was diagnosed with cancer he dreampt he would one day be able to hunt moose with his dad. Tina contacted a wish granting organization to see if Matthew would qualify for one of those dream wishes. Tina was told that since Matthew was past the age of 18 he no longer qualified, and the organization had quit granting hunting wishes. This did not stop this mother who was now on a mission. Tina made phone call after phone call to outfitters and finally received a call from Clayton Grosso an outfitter in Nordegg, a small village in Alberta, Canada. They went above and beyond fulfilling Matthews dream. Within the first day of their adventure Matthew was able to drop a huge bull moose in its tracks. Six months later Matthew passed away. (There is so much more to Matthew's life story, please visit www.huntofalifetime.com to read the amazing Story of Matthew Pattison written by his mother Tina.)
It was after losing her son that Tina decided to start a foundation that would fulfill the dreams of terminally ill children, giving them a chance to embark on an outdoor hunting or fishing adventure. Soon Hunt of a Lifetime was born.
According to the Hunt of a Lifetime website, each hunt experience is unique to the child. When diagnosed with life threatening illnesses, most children don't have time to realize their dreams. Hunt of a Lifetime is dedicated to giving children the possibility of achieving their desired hunting or fishing trip. The hunts are conducted by an all-volunteer group and there are no out of pocket expenses for the hunters.
Recently I was invited to visit with a group of hunters in NE Oregon. Emotions were hidden by dark sunglasses and tears were forced to be unshed as they each explained what makes Hunt of a Lifetime so special to them, as men, as hunters, and as mentors. This was a special group, I knew it from the start and was even more convinced as my time with them lingered into evening, ending with a prime rib dinner and some photos of the group with the trophy elk, taken by 15-year-old cancer survivor, Collin Wilcox.

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4)– More than 100 students at Boston K-8 in Aurora left school Thursday with a "new to them" bicycle.
Marqon Cowley, a student at the school, waited patiently for his chance to pick out a bike.
"I haven't had a bike in a while, it's cool to get a bike again," he said.
Cowley left the gym with a bike that he says fit his style perfectly.
"It reminds me of me because I like black and yellow. Plus it's big enough for me," he said.
Second Chance Bicycles in Aurora donated all of the bicycles, 103 total.
"Most of our bicycles come from different police departments," owner Ernie Clark said.
The nonprofit has a group of volunteers dedicated to rebuilding the old broken down bicycles.
When the bikes are ready for new owners, the group gifts them back to law enforcement agencies to give to families in crisis, nonprofits across the state and often schools in the area.
"Most of them needed tires some of them needed seats some of them just needed a little bit of TLC so we just do the best we can," Clark said.
SHARE YOUR STORY: Share A Together 4 Colorado Story Idea With CBS4
The retired police officer from New Jersey got started working on bicycles 16 years ago.
"If somebody told me then Ernie you're going to be doing bicycles I'd look at them and go you're crazy." he chuckled.
Clark has moved his shop a number of times over the years working out of basements a garage and now a shopping center in Aurora.
Property owners let them stay rent free- until it was time to break ground on redevelopment plans. After two years, they are in desperate need of a new home.
"We didn't get any good news yet, so we just hang tight," he said.
As uncertain, as their own future might be Clark says the response they get when giving a bike away is what keeps his team going.
"We're not just going to sit in the corner and say, 'Oh no, what are we going to do?' We just do what we have to do and this is one of them," he said.
If you want to help by donating or have space you are willing to part with you can reach Clark through the Second Chance Bikes website.

The offer is available for new players only. To qualify for it, you must deposit at least £10 after registration.

The welcome bonus is subject to a playthrough of 6 times (deposit + bonus). You can only use the bonus in certain markets – for example, Trifecta and Forecast bets on horse racing don't count toward completing the requirements.
Layout and Design
As a bookie that's part of a major and respected brand (Mansion Europe Holdings Limited), it's expected for MansionBet to have a clear and elegant design. Instead of going with a standard theme, MansionBet decided to start from the ground up. The layout will feel familiar, but the theme features highlights characteristic for the bookie and the Mansion brand.
With a dark theme and a pop of red colour, MansionBet has a pretty unique design with a touch of class many bookies lack. The layout, on the other hand, is rather typical on mobile and desktop platforms both. There's the list of sports and markets on the left, the featured events and markets in the middle, and the bet slip on the right. Although it's not ground-breaking at all, it works well and you can find your way around the website pretty easily.
Although there aren't hundreds of sports to pick from, MansionBet has everything you need and even more. There is a total of 36 sports in this bookie's offer, ranging from football and basketball to e-sports and bandy. As you can see, you get all the essentials and some lesser-known exciting sports that are worth giving a try.
What's great about MansionBet is that the odds are among the best in the industry. Mansion is a large group so it has the luxury to offer better odds than the rest. There are other features that make it stand out in the crowd such as YourBet, BetPulse, and Cash Out.
As the bookie proudly states on its website, it offers more than 30,000 live betting events every month. That's a pretty big number which only means one thing – thousands of opportunities to win. Aside from live betting, you can place your bets on any of the sports you find interesting. If you're a footie fan, check the odds for the outright Premier League winners or bet on the most exciting PL matches in the coming rounds.
If you're into horse betting, you'll be pleased to know that MansionBet allows you to bet on all the scheduled races on this year's calendar. The odds are among the best in the industry, which makes MansionBet one of the most recognizable names when it comes to horse racing betting.
All the sports action is supplemented with regular enticing promotions and boosts run by the bookie which give the odds at the site even better value.
MansionBet App Review
MansionBet's platform works great on smartphones and tablets. You won't experience any problems navigating the website – you get the same layout as the desktop site. There's also a dedicated mobile app for iOS and Android that has all the special features such as BetPulse, ActionBet, and YourBet.

High-end, large industrial steam cleaners are designed to produce dry steam at high pressures. They operate on a continual basis, without having to turn the machine off and wait for a cooling down period to refill water. Typically industrial steam cleaners are used for specific commercial applications such as restaurant kitchens or auto mechanic's shops, etc..
When designing the MR-100, Vapamore researched commercial grade systems and assessed features and specifications that should be focused on, in order to produce the highest quality residential grade vapor steam cleaner available.
Research concluded that an operation time of 50 +- 10 minutes (depending on the adjustable steam flow rate setting), is ample time for most cleaning tasks. A stainless steal boiler is implemented into the design for durability and corrosion resistance. The MR-100 produces a dry steam and pressure like that of commercial the grade models.
Lower-end models typically produce wet steam and lower pressure and a limited operation time. A good residential, or entry commercial steam cleaning system should produce dry steam and allow for adjusting output pressure and a longer operation time between filling.
The last, but certainly not the least consideration is safety. Most of the lower-end models have no safety shut off mechanism, and are not ETL or UL approved. This is definitely something to look for. Vapor steam cleaners operate and depend on steam pressure.
The picture on Vapamore's home page looks like a vacuum cleaner.

PREVIOUS: What To Do When You Are Confronted With A Challenge
Depository programs for federal and state governments exist to ensure that important government information is available in libraries where it can be freely accessible to the public. Certain libraries throughout the state have been designated as official depositories for the Federal Depository Library Program and the Utah Publications Depository Program. Library staff are encouraged to learn more about these depository programs in order to make effective and appropriate referrals to libraries where collections of government information are available. Depository collections are especially useful for historical materials.
The vast majority of current government information is distributed in electronic format. This makes it possible for every library to provide access to government information that is of importance to being informed. Government Web sites offer citizens easy access to recent information about important government activities such as research, publishing, and the development of legislation and regulations that impact our lives.
A significant amount of government information is not considered "public information" and therefore is not distributed to depositories or made available on government web sites. Since September 11, 2001, legislation and administrative rulings have restricted the distribution of government information deemed sensitive for security reasons. Government secrecy creates restrictions on distribution of and access to information that diminishes government accountability and the public's "right to know." Procedures related to the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) should be known by library staff in order to help citizens obtain access to other government information. Librarians can be effective advocates for open government.
GRAMA establishes a "presumption of openness," a supposition that Utah's government records are open to the public. GRAMA provides that unless a statute expressly restricts the public's access to a record held by a Utah government agency, the public may inspect and copy that record. GRAMA applies to all Utah government agencies and publicly funded libraries, including public, higher education, school, and government agency libraries. Library records such as board minutes, purchase records, information about employee compensation, job descriptions, job qualifications, and certain planning documents must be accessible. GRAMA requires librarians to classify, archive, retain, and dispose of their records according to specific guidelines and time frames.
GRAMA also identifies specific records that may be withheld from public inspection, especially where individual privacy rights are at stake (see "Confidentiality"). Libraries that receive requests to inspect their records should, at a minimum, consult GRAMA before responding to those requests.

Mixing 64 and 32 bit applications pools on OWA website
May 23, 2009
If you need to create and run a 32-bit application pool on the same website you are running Exchange OWA, usually the Default Web Site, you need to make a couple changes. For example, you want to run an old ASP component that only runs in 32 bit mode.
- Register the DLL – copy it to \Windows\SysWOW64 and run regsvr32 your.dll
- Create a 32 bit application pool in IIS 7 – On the advanced settings, set Enable 32-bit applications = True
- Create a subfolder and assign your 32-bit app pool to it.
- Modify \Windows\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationhost.config:
<location path="Default Web Site"> <system.webServer> isapiFilters> <clear /> <filter name="Exchange OWA Cookie Authentication ISAPI Filter" path="D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\ClientAccess\owa\auth\owaauth.dll" enabled="true" preCondition="bitness64" /> <filter name="Exchange ActiveSync ISAPI Filter" path="D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\ClientAccess\sync\bin\AirFilter.dll" enabled="true" preCondition="bitness64" /> </isapiFilters>
Notice the added preCondition="bitness64″. This tells those filters to only run on 64 bit app pools.

Minami Sayaka, lit. 'southern freshness', manages to shine, in the right hands, as a sencha, kamairicha, black tea and here as a lightly-oxidized Tawainese style oolong. Skillfully crafted, slightly curled leaves produce a delicate liquor with mild bitterness and sweetness and notes of dried fruit and white flowers.
Gokase is the premier region for the relatively rare, pan roasted green tea, kamairicha. It's here, tucked in mountainous highlands of NW Miyazaki prefecture that Akira-san and family craft multi-award winning, JAS organic kamairicha, sannenbancha and black tea.
Miyazaki Sabou's tea fields are found at a relatively higher altitude, around 650m, and, although located closer towards the tropical belt, summer evenings are cooler and winters are cold. This contrast hardens the plants, concentrating their essence much the same as harder conditions can enhance the flavour of wine grapes.
○ Origin: Gokase, Miyazaki, Japan
○ Cultivar: Minami Sayaka
○ Harvest: First harvest May
○ Impressions: Dried magnolia, dried pear, lily of the valley
○ Net weight: 40g
○ Servings: 13 first infusions using 3g
|2 to 3 minutes
|85℃ (185℉)
Suggested number of infusions - 1 or 2 - Decrease time by half for the second infusion then increase time for each successive infusion.

Asheville is the largest city in Western North Carolina, but surrounding towns in Buncombe County offer small-town flair and varied amenities. The population is approximately 240,000 in the county.

Average elevation is 2,165 feet above sea level with surrounding mountain elevations of up to 6,685 feet at Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi River. Because of this broad range of elevations and corresponding climates and plant growth, the area is one of the most bio-diverse in the United States and the world.

2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF vs 2017 Toyota 86
When it comes to affordable sports cars, the Mazda MX-5 Miata RF and Toyota 86 may be two of the first models that come to mind. Although both are new for the 2017 model year, the Mazda MX-5 Miata RF building off the success of the regular Mazda MX-5 Miata and the Toyota 86 transferring from the Scion FR-S, these vehicles are sure to make an impact for years to come.
In an effort to inform prospective buyers about key differences and similarities between the 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF and 2017 Toyota 86, our team at Seacoast Mazda has put together a detailed comparison. We invite you to learn more before deciding which performance-tuned model is right for you.
|2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF
|2017 Toyota 86
|27 city / 36 highway MPG
|Fuel Economy
|24 city / 32 highway MPG
|43.1 inches
|Front Seat Leg Room
|41.9 inches
|BOSE® audio system with 9 speakers
|Audio System
|8 speakers
|Rear Lip Spoiler
Under the hood, both the Mazda MX-5 Miata RF and Toyota 86 come standard with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. The 86 stands out in terms of horsepower, but the Mazda MX-5 Miata RF takes the cake for efficiency, offering an impressive EPA-estimated 27 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. Both vehicles are equipped with rear-wheel drive, 6-speed manual transmission, 17-inch wheels, and LED headlights. On the inside, the Mazda MX-5 Miata RF has room for only two passengers, while the 86 has seating for four. That being said, the Mazda car has more front seat leg room than the Toyota model, providing extra comfort for taller riders. The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF also comes equipped with a CD player and a more advanced audio system. Which affordable sports car is better suited for you?
Test drive the 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF in Portsmouth, NH
Although the 2017 Toyota 86 is an outstanding vehicle and a worthy competitor, the 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF stands out in more ways than one. In addition to the elements above, the Mazda MX-5 Miata RF has so much more to offer the modern driver. It comes available in two different trims—Club and Grand Touring—each of which has its own unique qualities that appeal to a variety of car shoppers. Available elements include MAZDA CONNECT™ infotainment system, Mazda Navigation System, Lane Departure Warning System, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and much more.

Overview of Techniques
Now for the fun part, I get to explain in a book how to clean a window and a screen. It's really simple but not easy when first starting out. There are numerous ways to wash and squeegee a window. The main thing you want to remember is that you will need some practice, and some patience when first starting out. Perfect practice equals perfect performance, and so I would encourage you to take your time when first starting out to do a perfect job on each window, and the speed will come with experience later on. The two methods we will talk about are washing with tools in hand, and washing with a pole in hand. You will wash by hand about 80% of the time, unless you are doing a lot of route work, then it will be the opposite. It is good to learn both to start. Since the best way to learn these techniques is through visual reference, I will now refer you to one of the best learning tools on the planet.
Use You-Tube
I find it fascinating that people would spend a bunch of money on some expensive package that includes a cheap DVD or two on how to clean windows, when they can find a ton more resources and tutoring right on You-Tube for free. If you go to www.youtube.com, and type in 'window cleaning techniques', you will find an amazing amount of very talented people teaching you in a video how to clean a window. What you will find is that there are a variety of techniques, and instead of sticking to just one or two, you can learn many from many different professionals. Here are a couple of examples of free training videos online. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1iNEV-wQmM, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owcq07fqupg.

Trafalgar Square was taken over by crowds of colourful dancers to help celebrate Diwali in London.
Hosted by the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, the K'z Dance Entertainment Ltd group based in Harrow, performed traditional folk dancing routines such as Garba and Dandiya-Raas on Sunday October 16.
Diwali is a Hindu festival with lights and marks the beginning of the financial year in India.
Kalpesh Zalavadiya, the founder of K'z Dance Entertainment Ltd, said: "We are delighted and proud to have been invited at one of the biggest asian event of the year.
"Everyone put in a lot of hard work and hours of dance rehearsals."
The dancers then invited members of the public to dance with them and helped some learn a few moves themselves.
The K'z Dance Entertainment Ltd has previously performed at Wembley Stadium and taken part in Diwali Celebrations at the House of Commons in Westminster.

Mum woken by her daughter's screams to find her four-month-old son dead in his pushchair
Katie Kingswood had moved Ethan to the pram while she cleaned up his sick but got distracted and left the tragic tot in there all night
A MUM woken up by her daughter's screams discovered her four-month-old son dead in his pushchair, an inquest heard.
Little Ethan Kingswood had been put in the pram by mum Katie after he was sick in his moses basket and planned to move him back once she had cleaned up the mess.
But she got distracted by her other child and "forgot" so she left the tot in his pushchair all night, Boston Coroners' Court was told.
Devastated Katie was woken later by her daughter screaming and found baby Ethan unresponsive in his pram.
She called an ambulance but medics were unable to resuscitate the tot and he was pronounced dead at the home in Wrangle, Lincs, on November 19, 2014.
A post mortem has failed to establish a cause of Ethan's death but a pathologist said it could be Sudden Infant Death.
Katie said: "I was going to put him back in the bed but started to sort out my daughter and forgot to do it.
"My daughter then woke me up screaming. I took Ethan out of the pushchair and thought he was asleep.
"I put him back down and called my dad to come and get my daughter. I called an ambulance. They said he had been gone all night."
The inquest heard how Ethan was born premature and spent the first few weeks of his life in hospital where he had a few episodes of Apnoea where he would stop breathing.
He was not in a safe sleeping environmentDr Murray Spittal, assistant coroner for South Lincolnshire
Dr Roger Malcomson, a pathologist who carried out the post mortem, said: "Ethan had tiny bleeds at the top of his heart, chest and lung tissues. These spots are common.
"In a child of this age it could be Sudden Infant Death.
"Given Ethan's history and the fact he was in a restrictive sleeping device that is recognised for its risk factor for SID.
"He was a premature baby which also increases the risk.
"This is all speculative so I cannot point to one thing. It remains unclear why he died.
"There are around 20 SID cases a year in the East Midlands and half of those deaths are due to the baby's sleeping environment. For example, the child is not in its cot, on its back with its feet at the bottom of the cot."
Dr Murray Spittal, assistant coroner for South Lincolnshire, gave an 'open' verdict and said: "Ethan was born premature on July 1, 2014.
"Mum put him in his pushchair where he spent the night.
"Being in a pushchair slightly increases the risk of death. A cause of death cannot be found. He was not in a safe sleeping environment."

Slashing Travel Costs
One of my colleagues has been wittering on about doing a car share for months! I've dismissed this over and over based on the fact that I like to get into the office early, and leave the office late – and my colleague – doesn't.
However, whilst discussing this with my Wife the other day we made some startling calculations that have lead to the conclusion that the car share is infact, a great idea.
1 – Monthly Cost saving: £250 (should be enough in itself)
2 – Improved Work Life Balance: Less time travelling, more time with family
3 – Improved Productivity: I reckon my concentration will improve meaning my work productivity should improve
There is one major sacrifice:
1 – Loss of freedom & reliance on someone else: I don't like to be dictated on how and when I arrive somewhere, which is why I like to travel by myself, it'll take a bit of getting used to!
So, hmmmm, I have to wonder why I've been protesting so much. I've got the opportunity to slash my travel costs and I'm going to take it. That's an extra £3000 in the back burner over the year!!!
It's been a while
Every now and again I look back at dailyspends and realise that I'm not doing a great job of tracking my actual spending. I've also been a bit naughty and neglected the blog slightly over the last few weeks.
The thing about DailySpends is that I enjoy writing it and when I do write it, it actually makes me think about what I'm spending.
This weekend we've been a bit short on the readies because we've had to spend a few quid on the car (£270 to be precise on MOT, TAX & a new tyre). So it's been back to basics with some old skool (yes! with a K) thrifty tricks:
1 – Nice cheap dinners: Home made pizza (50p per head) , Nachos (30p per head), Cheap Sunday Roast (£1.00 per head)
2 – Cheap weekend drinks: 20 bottles Becks (£7.59 on sale at Tesco), 4 litres Cider (£3.00)
3 – Family fun: Dog show (free), Craft (free), Park & Walk (free)
Money you never thought you had…
Short on cash? Looking for ways to generate extra income? There could be money right under your nose!!! It was right under mine…
I went out for a drink last night & was excited to find £5 in the pocket of my jeans (a pair I haven't worn for a while). It's not exactly a fortune but it paid for my 1st two drinks to I was happy 🙂
When you next get a few minutes, have a look in the pockets of your old jeans & jackets, behind the sofa & in the car. You may be surprised to find the odd £5 or £10 notes, in amongst all the coppers.
Of course, this is no long term solution. If you are regularly short on money, you will need to find a more reliable & consistant way of earning more, but it's a bit fun & you can even get the family involved; 'Finders – Keepers…!'
Pizza Price Index – First Registered Rise
Roll up! Roll up! A very exciting thing has happened! the PIZZA PRICE INDEX has increased for its time ever! Oh yes indeedy . . . in a shock movement the index has increased by a whopping 8.4 pence:
Ingredient Prices at 03.06.08:
T Healthy Living Italian Mozzarella – £0.236 (down)
Tesco Value Ham – £0.615 (up)
Tesco Value Mild White Cheese Small – £1.344
Tesco Value Plain Flour – £0.12
Tesco Value Plum Tomatoes – £0.095
My Pizza Price Index at 03.06.08 = £2.41
I'm urging all fellow PPIers to recalculate their index immediately.
Travel Allowance: May Results Are In
May has been the first month in which I've tried to save money against my travel allowance. I'm pleased to report that it's been quite successful in that I have managed to come in under budget by about £90.00! I am very, very pleased . . . not just because I've saved a few quid but because I'm starting to see how keeping such a tight reign on my finances is starting to have a positive impact! So here's the results:
Budget = £384.00
Month to date (total spend) = £287.00
Surplus/(Deficit) = £96.05

Clean-Diesel Quest in America
As the automotive world searches for the ultimate alternative to gasoline-fueled engines, the big three premium German automakers (Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz) continue to build a case for clean diesel cars here in America. It's been roughly three years since Mercedes-Benz led the modern-day diesel charge with the E320 Bluetec—designed to make U.S. car buyers forget about the stinky, smoky, and slow cars from decades past—but the E-Class diesel is still struggling at the dealerships. Mercedes-Benz managed to sell a meager 827 examples in 2010, accounting for just 7 percent of total E-Class sales last year.

ABS grants approval to Hyundai's deepwater FLNG hull design
ABS, a provider of classification and technical advisory services, has granted an approval in principle (AIP) to Hyundai Heavy Industries' (HHI) deepwater floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) hull design.
According to ABS, HHI advised that the Newbuilding Conversion FLNG hull design for offshore application can be constructed at less than half the cost of a conventional FLNG hull.
It is based on LNG carrier designs combined with the requirements for FLNG production, such as structural reinforcements to take topside module load and a hull designed to allow up to 25 years operation without dry-docking.
ABS Vice President Global Gas Solutions, Patrick Janssens: "We have partnered in leading innovation in the offshore sector for 60 years, and we are proud to enable this latest advanced deepwater FLNG Hull approach from HHI."
ABS said that HHI developed a technically feasible FLNG hull approach. A low cost Near Shore FLNG Hull was developed and achieved ABS AIP in 2017. The same team from HHI and ABS has now worked to deliver this harsh environment Deepwater Hull to meet increasing market demand.
"In the current emerging gas market, a ready-to-convert offshore FLNG hull, with ABS certification, at affordable CAPEX is an important product for monetization of gas reserves around the globe. This new line-up from HHI responds to the requirements of operators and combines HHI's unparalleled expertise in shipbuilding with ABS' stringent safety evaluation," said Hyungkwan Kim, Executive Vice President, Shipbuilding Division at HHI.
The design features a Barge-shaped Hull, a GTT Mark III containment system with storage for about 192,000 m3, and provisions to accommodate an internal turret and 45,000-ton of topside modules to deliver 2.5 MTPA of LNG.

In an exclusive interview with Joyshree Saha, Virag Joshi, President & CEO, Devyani International Limited talks about his focus towards overall development of the brands.
How has been your journey as a franchisee?
We are in this business for last 20 years. We have opened our first Pizza Hut store in 1996 in Jaipur. And the journey was really good with many ups and downs. Simultaneously, we have exceptionally good relation with our franchisors. And that is the reason; we are growing in all the brands and we also look forward to grow more and more in coming years.
How significant is franchising model in today's world?
It all depends on the brand's pull. As taking up the franchisee of brands is viable only when the brand is successful. You can take the franchise of as many brands as you want, but it should be profitable and customer focussed with a strong brand recall within the customer segment. Also, you have to nurture the brand. It is only then that the success of the brand and the franchisees comes into the picture.
What according to you are important tips for becoming a successful franchisee?
To be a successful franchisee you need to have enough cash flow to sustain the business in the initial phase. Apart from just running your franchise unit, you have to keep in mind that your contributions are crucial for the growth of the brand. This is not a short terms process, so good gestation period is required to make the brand profitable.
What sort of training and support are offered by your franchisor?
All training manuals are provided by the franchisors. Training means they offer modules for the development of the people, new innovation in products, services, operating procedures and processes to customers. In addition, franchisor provides modules for how to maintain the quality and process.
Where do you see yourself five years down the line?
We will be growing and keep on investing on the brands, mainly in the food sector as it is our core business.

Mother horrified after seeing video of police officers holding down teenage son
A mother says she is traumatized by video footage circulating online showing three police officers holding down her 14-year-old son in Toronto's north.
The incident occurred just before 6 p.m. on Tuesday, in the area of Jane Street and Shoreham Drive, in North York. In security video of the incident, officers are seen questioning someone before a struggle breaks out.
In the videos posted to social media, three police officers are seen holding a teenager down on the ground, pulling his arms behind his back in what appears to be an attempt to put him in handcuffs. The teen appears to be struggling against the officers.
In one of the videos, an officer appears to punch the teen while he is on the ground.
"I'm horrified," the teen's mother told CTV News Toronto. "I will never get that out of my memory. Every time I close my eyes, I can hear my son screaming for me. I can see the police officers punching him."
"He's fourteen. He just got beat up by three grown police officers."
CTV News Toronto spoke with the boy's mother while she was waiting for him outside the courthouse on Wednesday. The teen and his mother cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The boy is facing charges, but it is not known what they are in relation to.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Toronto police said officers responded to public complaints of people loitering, as well as drug activities.
"When the officers arrived on scene, they began investigating several people loitering and engaging in non-criminal drug activities which would have carried at maximum, a fine. One person refused to identify themselves as required by law, and after an interaction, caused the investigation to become a criminal offence," the statement read.
"Due to the age of the person, we cannot comment in full detail in good faith, despite the fact the identity was made public by his parent. It is completely within the family's right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Independent Police Review Director."
The teen is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 27.

Monday morning after the Daylight Savings Time Change found me driving along the marsh near the Broad River. The light seemed perfect for a photo-opportunity.
All these photos were taken from the same spot. I varied the zoom setting or the direction before snapping the shot.
If you are not taking photos of local color, why not? You don't have to be an experienced photographer. These were taken with a point-and-shoot camera. I don't consider myself a photographer, merely a documenter of things that interest me. And if no one looks at these photos except me, I'm okay with that. Someday, someone will, and there the photos will be.
