Leave your question about this product
Can I see these tiles in reality? I need to know if they will work with the other ones I want to use.
Hi Claire,
If you wanted to see them in reality, your best option is to come in and have a look at our showroom to give you a better idea of what it looks like. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to contact us on 02 8728 7800.
Kind regards,
Hi, 150x1000mm Origin Turtle Dove Italian Timber Look Non-Rectified Porcelain Tile (#5152).
Is mentioned tile suitable for outdoors? If so, can this be used for the garage where vehicles are parked regularly?
Thank you.
Hi Maria! The tile #5152 itself being porcelain would be applicable for a high use garage, on the basis of a proper foundation and installation. The tile itself being porcelain is quiet dense so there should be no worry.
We recommend you consult a tiler for their opinion as there might be variables to take into consideration.
Thank you for your inquiry! If you have any further questions contact us at 02 8728 7800.
Kind regards,

As urban sprawl replaces rural areas, squirrels, raccoons, bats and skunks have been forced to find new living quarters: in buildings, warehouses, facilities and homes. Wildlife will try to find entry into your property to have and raise their offspring. Although not normally considered dangerous, these wildlife pests can be vicious when approached by humans—especially when it comes to protecting their young.
Raccoons can find living quarters in attics, fireplaces, garages and wall voids. They are also common carriers of rabies, roundworms and leptospirosis. Skunks are very confident fighters and can be quite vicious if provoked or harmed. Typically found beneath porches, sheds and garages, skunks are common carriers of the rabies virus.
When it comes to wildlife management for your property; removing and controlling wildlife isn't as simple as it might seem. Trust the professionals to effectively exclude any unwanted wildlife from your property.
Structural and Sanitation Inspection
When it comes to wildlife management for your business, understanding how animals are getting into your property in the first place is the best place to start. At Abell Pest Control, we have a good understanding of wildlife behaviour and can help you prevent unforeseen problems.
Our team of technicians are experienced and knowledgeable. Once on site, we'll do a thorough walk-thru of your property to determine how wildlife might be accessing your facility, warehouse or building.
Chimneys should be capped. Holes in walls and roofs should be repaired. Doors into garages and sheds should be kept closed during the evenings.
Sanitation is also very important to prevent wildlife from infesting your property. Just covering a garbage can with a lid would pose no challenge to any wildlife looking for food. Only heavy plastic or metal garbage cans should be used. These cans should have lids that fasten tightly and are secure from capsizing. Also, keeping your property free from lumber, garbage and other debris will discourage the presence of wildlife on your property.
After reviewing your property and identifying the species of wildlife infesting your property, your licensed and professionally-trained Abell Technician will recommend tools and tactics to discourage animals from nesting in your property. In most cases, your best option might be to use exclusion.
Exclusion is a highly recommended technique used for squirrels, raccoons, bats and skunks. Exclusion does not mean we harm the animals. Exclusion of wildlife simply means we get them outside of your property while preventing them from getting back in.
A humane and frequently used wildlife exclusion method is the one-way door. With this method, we get the animal outside, then lock it out! All without harming the animal or trapping them. In fact, neither you or any member of our staff, ever needs to touch the animal.
Once wildlife are no longer inhabiting your property, it's best to use a professional service for removal of attic waste, contaminated insulation or debris.
It is not recommended that you handle and clean raccoon droppings or animal feces yourself. Raccoon feces contains roundworm, which can cause infections, blindness and other symptoms.
Clean-up of attic waste, contaminated insulation or debris requires special, enzyme-based cleaners to eliminate any bio-hazard animal waste, droppings and urine.
It is important to protect yourself, your employees, your customers or your family from being exposed to the health risks and diseases that squirrels, raccoons, bats and skunks can bring.
Call us for a quote and for more information. We can review your property and recommend a wildlife management solution to meet your needs.
Very professional service. Abell Personnel responsible for the site is very detail orientated and have a great attention to detail. AMAN CHAHAL

Where possible, we have added number of rooms, property type and links to the property's listing on Daft, MyHome or any other website where we could find the property listed. This is Ireland's most extensive property price register and we are continually working to improve it by adding as much data as we can find. Our focus is on most recent transactions commencing from January 2019 onwards ie the freshest data.
|Date of Sale
|Property Type
|No. of
|Floor Area
Important Note:
The Residential Property Price Register is produced by the Property Services Regulatory Authority (PSRA) pursuant to section 86 of the Property Services (Regulation) Act 2011. It includes Date of Sale, Price and Address of all residential properties purchased in Ireland since the 1st January 2010, as declared to the Revenue Commissioners for stamp duty purposes.
It is important to note that the Register is not intended as a "Property Price Index".
In a small number of transactions included in the Register the price shown does not represent the full market price of the property concerned for a variety of reasons. All such properties are marked **. Where a property is part residential and part non-residential (e.g. living quarters over a shop) the Register will only contain information about the residential part.
If the property is a new property, the price shown should be exclusive of VAT at 13.5%. (Note: when using the Auctioneera website, we have added 13.5% VAT to all new property prices ie the price you see on our website is the price the purchaser paid)
Where a number of apartments are sold for a single price (e.g. Apartments Nos 1 to 15 Oak Drive are sold for €2m), the information on the Register depends on what was filed with the Revenue Commissioners.
For example, the filer may have input the address of -
- only one of the apartments (e.g. No. 1 Oak Drive) for a price of €2m;
- each apartment separately and divided the price between each apartment (e.g. Apartment No. 1 for €133,333, Apartment No.2 for €133,333 and so on to Apartment No. 15 for €133,333.
- all the apartments (e.g. Nos 1 to 15 Oak Drive) for a price of €2m.
The Date of Sale is the date input by the filer of the Stamp Duty Return as the date of the Deed transferring ownership of the property.
The Authority acknowledges that there may be errors in the data in the Register. The Register is compiled from data which is filed, for stamp duty purposes, with the Revenue Commissioners. The data is primarily filed electronically by persons doing the conveyancing of the property on behalf of the purchaser and errors may occur when the data is being filed.
The PSRA does not in any way edit the data. It simply publishes, in a fully transparent manner, the data from the declarations which are filed with the Revenue Commissioners. If the data filed contained typographical errors then those errors will appear on the Register.
Where errors are reported to the Authority they will be brought to the attention of the Revenue Commissioners.
If you notice any apparent errors in the data please let the PSRA know by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Well, we have been on the subject of persona development and persona handwriting for a few weeks now so I thought I might offer the information I've found via a font site authored by Pia Frauss. She has studied the script handwriting of several notable figures from pre-17th century Europe. Here is what she found:
This first historically-based script is of the French persuasion — I know, not my usual focus, but a dear friend asked about handwriting for her persona and I feel happy to be able to contribute something. Don't worry, the rest of the scripts are Italian!
XiBeronne is a plain Black Letter script inspired by a very beautiful and very celebrated French manuscript written at the beginning of the 15th century, containing — and splendidly illustrating — Gaston Phoebus' Book of the Hunt. Illustrations of that manuscript were displayed on the Net by the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
Just a bit of information: Gaston Phoebus, Count of Foix (Foix is a pretty town on the French side of the Pyrenees), was a Gascon nobleman, living from 1331 up to 1391. He went occasionally to fight in Prussia, intent on avoiding to take sides in the war raging between French and Englishmen in southern France (or Aquitania, as it was called then), throughout the 14th century. History doesn't portray him as a pleasant character. His Book of the Hunt, however, written during the last years of his life, didn't rest confined to that expensive manuscript. Among the earliest works to be published in print, it turned into a bestseller at once, and continued as such, all over Europe, for centuries to come. He was the most famous authority on his subject, and his instructions were followed so eagerly that by the 19th century, France had been literally emptied of deer. I sincerely hope this piece of news won't keep you from enjoying my font (after all, the illiterate poachers may have had a hand in the disaster, mayn't they?).
Tagettes & TagettesPlus are the type of Italian chancery cursive of the 16th and 17th century that is mostly called Cancellaresca. They were developped out of a page of samples created by the French writing master Louis Barbedor around 1650 (unfortunately, the man's name is already taken by another font, so I had to invent a fancy name). Monsieur Barbedor provided such a variety of ps and fs and gs etc. that for a while I got quite lost in that jungle. At long last, I realized, moreover, that swashing too many of the lower case glyphs would make the font look crammed. So, I finally settled on the swashed g — since that is of my own invention –, as well as a swashed f, and y, sending the swashed b, d, h, k, p, and l off to the alternate font called TagettesPlus.
The MalaTesta fonts are based on a writing sample, titled "Lettere piacevolle", and dating from the 16th century. I copied it out of a book from the library, years ago, but forgot to include the caption, and kept no notes concerning the source. After turning it into a font, I had to search the Net for information … and I found it! Doing a search for that queer title led me to a Google book, by Lewis F. Day, on Penmanship of the 16th, 17th, and 18th century, which is displaying my writing sample (among lots of others), and stating that it was taken from A booke containing divers sortes of hands, published by J. de Beauchesne and J. Baildon, in 1571. Apparently, Beauchesne/Baildon didn't name the writing master who created this "rather fantastic italic hand" — quoting Lewis F. Day's judgment here; and I don't think he meant it in an altogether favorable way.
(BTW, that precious Google book, which is downloadable as a free PDF, even contains two samples of Francisco Lucas' penmanship).

With India's population growing exponentially, a group of people have embarked on a campaign to force the government to formulate a law for population control. The campaign "Bharat4PopulationLaw", supported by 125 MPs and many celebrities, is being spread through different channels and platforms, mainly social media. It is being spearheaded by Tax Payers Association of Bharat (TAXAB), an independent advocacy group of common tax payers of the country.
Those behind the campaign believe that the root cause of all the problems of India lies in the exploding population, which has crossed 135 crore and can be addressed only by enacting a law. Over the years, population control measures have largely focused on advocacy for family planning and behavior changes but, according to them, time has come for India to take stiffer and definitive steps alongside what is already being done.
While 125 MPs from different political parties submitted a petition Speaker Sumitra Mahajan during the last winter session demanding a discussion on the draft Responsible Parenthood Act prepared by the group, Minister of State for Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation Sanjeev Balyan moved a Private Member's Bill on the issue in the Lower House.
"We have contacted most of the MPs, Chief Ministers, Governors and key officials to sensitize them on the issue which has so far been neglected by the policy makers. We have asked the political parties to give answer to this burning question. We want the political parties to include this issue in the campaign for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections," TAXAB president Manu Gaur told The Sunday Guardian.
"The country is still facing problems of hunger, poverty, etc because the population hasn't stablised," he added.
The cry for a law to check population growth is not new. According to Gaur, as many as 35 Private Member's Bills have been introduced in Parliament over the issue since Independence, but unfortunately there was no discussion on even one of them. "Interestingly, out of 35 MPs who moved the Bill, 15 were from Congress, eight from BJP, one each from RJD, TMC, BJD etc. "We also held a meeting on the issue in the Constitution Club, which was attended by eight of the 35 MPs."
In 1992, the Narasimha Rao government tabled the 79th Constitution Amendment Bill for making two-child norm as one of the eligibility criteria to contest the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections. "It was moved by then Health Minister M.L. Fotedar. But, he resigned from the ministry as well as from the Congress following demolition of Babri mosque on 6 December 1992. After that, the Bill was tabled on 18 December, so no discussion could be held on it. The Bill is pending since then," he said.
The Venkatchalaiah Committee, during the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, was asked to the review the Constitution. This committee, which submitted its report in 2002, spoke about making amendments in the Constitution and advocated small family by amending Article 47 and also for being a responsible parent under the Article 51 (Fundamental Duties). Recently in 2017, BJP MP from Saharanpur, Raghav Lakhanpal, moved a Bill on this issue in Parliament.
Gaur said the TAXAB campaign is getting support from cross sections of the society. "We are getting support from opinion makers from Bollywood, sports, defence and civil society. A video recording of song 'Main Bharat Bol Raha Hoon', sung by Kailash Kher, Suresh Wadekar, Shaan, Ankit Tiwari and others, is being shared on social media and it is drawing huge attraction," he said.

Criteria to consider when selecting an appropriate journal to submit your manuscript to:
The term peer review is used interchangeably with refereed.
The quality of journal articles is controlled through the process of peer review. Peer reviewed journals are considered to have more academic integrity than journals or other publications that are not peer reviewed.
Peer review is the process by which a manuscript is evaluated by experts in the same field of research as the article. Peer reviewers recommend whether the manuscript falls within the scope and focus of the journal, provide feedback on how the article can be improved, and state whether they feel it should be accepted / rejected for publication in that journal.
Not all articles published in peer reviewed journals are refereed. Typical examples include book reviews, editorials and letters or short communications.
The lists of journals and publishers at the following links are created for various purposes but all have undergone some degree of quality control. Use these lists to help you investigate the quality of a journal or publisher.
In choosing where to publish your research as a journal article, be aware that your decision will determine whether the work will be counted for ERA as a Traditional Research Output (TRO).
In order for a journal article to be eligible for ERA (as a Traditional Research Output), it must:
Types of articles unlikely to meet the ERA eligibility criteria are:
It is important that you carefully read and follow a journal's Instructions to Authors.
Make sure you do not sign the publishing agreement until you are sure that you understand what you are agreeing to. Get advice if there are clauses that you do not understand or are concerned about. For more information, see the Publishing Agreements box in this LibGuide.
Examples of publisher Instructions to Authors *:

The Oberammergau Story
Nearly 400 years ago in Germany the history of the Passion Play began. The plague raged in many parts of Europe and did not spare Oberammergau either.
In 1633 the Oberammergau villagers promised to perform the suffering, death and resurrection of Christ every tenth year, in so far as no one was to die of the plague anymore. The villagers were answered by God and therefore in 1634 the first Passion Play took place. The promise has been kept until today. In 2020 the 42nd Passion Play will take place in Oberammergau.

Full Itinerary
Day 1: Channel Islands to Memmingen, Germany
Travellers from Jersey will depart on Saturday 25th July, with their Tour Manager, on a convenient 09:00 flight and will travel to Guernsey where they will stay on the plane. Guernsey travellers will board the flight and depart at 09:40 direct to Memmingen, Germany. Upon arrival you will be transferred to your hotel in Bad Kohlgrub, close to Oberammergau. After check in, you will have dinner in the hotel (included) and then have the evening at leisure to enjoy your new Bavarian surroundings.
Bad Kohlgrub is a wonderful small town village approximately 15 minutes' drive from Oberammergau that offers hiking, culture and gastronomy. Beautiful views are at the heart of this provincial region surrounded by mountains and wooden houses.
All hotels are subject to change and won't be confirmed pre-departure information. All hotels will be of a 4* standard.
Day 2: Oberammergau and the Passion Play
Enjoy breakfast in your hotel before being taken on a guided tour of Oberammergau. The tour will give you a true sense of a typical Bavarian Alpine village. You'll get the opportunity to be introduced to the history of the Passion Play and visit the small local heritage museum where you will also learn about typical Bavarian painting that adorn the town. This tour is on foot.
After the morning tour you will have time at leisure in the village and for lunch before the Passion Play begins at 2.30pm. Oberammergau is famous for wood carvings so why not go and pick up a small memento of your visit to take home with you!
A unique event and a once in a life-time opportunity; this is a play of life and death that first began in 1633. The history of the Oberammergau Passion Play began when the villagers vowed that if God spared them from the plague ravaging the region, they would produce a play every 10 years depicting the life and death of Jesus. 2020 will be the 42nd year of the Passion Play when you can enjoy what is now the world's largest amateur dramatic performance. More than 2,000 villagers will enact the story of Christ on the impressive open-air stage of the Passion Play Theatre in Oberammergau. The performance is brought to life in front of your eyes through actors, a choir and an orchestra.
The village expects around 500,000 visitors from all around the world, half of which will be international guests.
The play is delivered in German and you will be supplied with a translation booklet to help better understand what you'll be seeing. The spectacular play will unfold before your eyes within the setting of a stage that was first erected in 1930 and has seen little alteration since.
The play will continue through 5 acts before a 3 hour interval that begins at 5.00pm and the play reconvenes at 8.00pm. At this point you will be transferred by coach to a nearby restaurant to enjoy a 3 course meal (included), whilst you digest the first half of the Passion Play. You'll be whisked back to the theatre in good time to enjoy the second half of the play that concludes at 10.30pm. You will then be transferred back to your hotel by coach.
Day 3: Kempten and the heart of Bavaria
Enjoy breakfast in your hotel before checking-out and being transferred by coach to Kempten, a typical Bavarian town 1 hour from Bad Kohlgrub. The name of your 4* hotel will be confirmed in pre-departure information.
Kempten is a beautiful end to your Bavarian experience: one of the oldest towns in Germany and a tourist resort at the foot of the Alps in Allgäu. This stunning market town will be your viewing terrace in a fairy-tale area and you can enjoy its steep mountain views, rolling hills, colourful flower meadows and pretty architecture typical of the region.
This day will be at leisure to enjoy a slice of Bavarian life at your own pace maybe accompanied by a slice of Prinzregententorte, a traditional layered Bavarian cake.
Should you wish to explore the region further, in early 2020 we will have for you optional excursions that can be enjoyed on Day 3 and they can be added to your itinerary at an additional cost.
This evening dinner in your hotel is included and you will have your evening at leisure.

These are lovely but they're grey metal and I thought they'd be white, and I'm wondering if they're made of lead because they're so heavy for their size. Giuditta W.

A month ago, I was contact by TacMed Australia. I was asked if I could read and review an E-Book that would be going public on 10 October 2016. I enthusiastically agreed to this request as I was selected because I am an experienced tactical medicine practitioner, instructor and proponent.
'ARTERIAL TOURNIQUETS for Police Officers, Law Enforcement and Other First Responders' is the definitive primer in the civilian integration of tourniquets into tactical or mass casualty care. This is a controversial subject that has met much dogmatic resistance from some civilian clinicians and emergency medicine professionals.
The author is Dr. Dan Pronk is a decorated Australian SOF doctor with four combat tours in Afghanistan. He has served as Australia's representative for the CoTCCC and the NATO SOF Medical Expert Panel. He has succinctly distilled his experience and knowledge into this easy-to-read primer.
I thought the subject matter was approached in a logical, informative manner using peer reviewed evidence without becoming heavily academic. It does not get bogged down in format and annotation and become dry reading. There are multiple diagrams and pictures that close the loop on concepts quite well. Due to the E-Book format, these pictures can be zoomed in on for better viewing. There are, also, hotlinks to videos that demonstrate theory in practice. Another thing that cannot be done in a print format. It is has been broken down into fourteen chapters with the last chapter being references. As an academic, the references are worth the price of admission.
Having some experience instructing Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) and Combat First Aid (CFA), I personally found Chapters Eleven: The Importance of Reality-Based Training and Chapter Twelve: The Importance of Command-Driven Medical Training to be the most satisfying.
I disagree with one thing about this E-Book. I am a proponent of civilian everyday carry of arterial tourniquets.The title of this E-Book could lead many to think this book would be of no use to civilians. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I highly recommend 'ARTERIAL TOURNIQUETS for Police Officers, Law Enforcement and Other First Responders' for anyone who wish to learn about proper tourniquet application or as part of program implementation.

Pre-Engagement Drill or Admin Ritual
In my deployments , pre-deployment training and in less intense training venues, I have seen sidearms carried without a magazine outside the wire, heard a 'click' rather than a 'bang' from a fire team partner, and have seen batteries in weapon lights and IR lasers being replaced in the dark because functionality was not check prior to departure. This comes down to two things; lack of a pre-engagement drills and assumption. We all know what 'assumption' really stands for…
|Operators carry multiple weapons systems with ancillary equipment
to allow them to be effective regardless of conditions.
5Ps; proper planning prevents poor performance. A drill, almost a ritual, to check your weapons and their accessories prior to stepping off is a vital part of the pre-mission checks. Element inspections to verify mission specific equipment are commonplace and their importance understood. Pre-engagement drill is an individual level readying and verification of your personal weapons. It is just as important. Like a chain, a team is only as strong or prepared as its weakest member. I don't want to be THAT GUY. Do you? Didn't think so!
With the advent of modern CQB syllabuses and the intensity of the current battlespace, most soldiers and operators carry multiple weapons systems and ancillary equipment to allow them to be effective at anytime, even total darkness. The SLAPS Pre-Engagement Drill compliments this reality and ensures a solid verification before any mission or task. There are a few principles that must be followed to be effective.
- The steps of the drill are specific to allow the operator to ensure functionality and maintain safety. Do not change the order.
- Command driven weapon status must be followed. The steps may be modified to meet those requirements. Example, seat a magazine but do not ready and press check for amber status.
- Weapons and equipment are SLAPS'd in a reverse order. Secondary weapons (sidearms) are SLAPS'd before primary weapons (long guns). This ensures they are not forgotten. You work with your primary but your secondary saves your life.
- SLAPS drills must be conducted within a secure area that has a safe area/direction for weapon orientation. This drill is done before the mission, not during.
|Secondary Weapons are prepared first.
You work with your primary but your secondary saves your life.

Sights- Light/Lasers- Ammunition- Press Check-Safe and Safe/Secure
Sights- Present weapon. This is one more dry practice opportunity; don't waste it. Verify iron sights are still there and secure. Verify any back up iron sights (BUIS) are set to the proper settings and functioning. Set optical sight to proper range or appropriate power for variable power optics. Power up any electronic sights. With Aimpoints, set the brightness to match the time of day. With EO Techs, turn them on and set the brightness to match the time of day. If your EO Tech reticule flashes as you turn it on, you are down to less than twenty percent battery life. Good time to change batteries while the weapon is unloaded. Verify any dummy cords or wires.
Lights/Lasers- Verify weaponlight is secure to weapon. Check all settings ( high, low, strobe) individually. Use tape switch and buttons should your weaponlight have multiple methods of activation. Check lockouts and set according to mission. Change batteries as required. Verify laser aiming device (LAD) is secure to weapons. Check all settings and functions individually. Use tape switch and buttons should your LAD have multiple methods of activation. Check lockouts and set according to mission. Verify any dummy cords or wires. Check IR settings of weapon light and LAD with NVGs; verifying your NVGs concurrently. Change batteries accordingly. Good time to change batteries while the weapon is unloaded.
Ammunition- Roll the weapon up into your 'workspace' and load the weapon with the proven reliable magazine from your emergency load pouch. This is one more dry practice opportunity of an emergency reload; don't waste it. Remember for heliborne operations; attach a dummy cord to magazine. Ready the weapon.
Press Check- Perform a press check verifying your weapon status one hundred percent. There are multiple forms of press checks. I have a preferred method. This may be the subject of another blog post in the future. A tactile press check will be required for low light conditions. Close your ejection port.
Safe and Secure- Ensure weapons is on safe. Holster or sling and hang your weapon. Top up emergency load pouch with a proven reliable magazine. You are ready to get to work.
This is intended as an individual drill or even a buddy drills. With some adaptation, it can be made into a team drill supervised by element leader before stepping off on the job. It works within military, LEO and tactical training circles. And, it works. I have used this drill on two separate deployments and many training venues, some fairly high intensity ones as well. I have never been THAT GUY within my element.
Take care out there.

Starting From Scratch...Again
One word that holds so much meaning to me is "moving." I never took time to think about the word until about 2 years ago. Moving is a simple word that I find myself using way more times than I thought I would. I'm from a very tight family and we are all very close. I was the girl who claimed during my entire childhood that I would live with my mom forever. I was so serious. Obviously, those were my plans. God had other plans for me.

The capital structure is defined as the mix of debt and equity that the firm uses to finance its investments and assets. The capital structure choice that provides the greatest appeal to investors and shareholders, that results in the lowest cost of capital and maximized firm value in the presence of efficient investment strategies is called Optimal Capital Structure (Muzir, 2011) One of the principal objectives of corporate finance is to make a firm reach an optimal capital structure that would facilitate its operations to maximize profitability and firm value.
While firms can choose among many alternative capital structures, including lease financing, warrants, convertible bonds, forward contracts and bond swaps; under the general headlines firms mainly use either debt or equity. The first common source of capital is debt, which surges the risks up associated with the future earnings while at the same time allowing a firm to generate a higher expected rate of return stemming from the tax benefit born from the interest expense; which basically demonstrates a trade-off with the changing levels of the use of debt. On the other hand, the second source of capital, i.e. equity, represents the right of shareholders on the firm's assets. The contribution of equity to the cost of capital is higher as compared to debt financing because creditors have privileged rights over the firm's assets as compared to shareholders in case of bankruptcy and liquidation. The augmenting usage of debt in raising capital to finance investments usually makes the firm's future earnings more risky to the shareholders due to the rising financial risk basically born from borrowing more.
The relationship between capital structure and profitability is an important one since the amelioration in the profit margins of a firm is extremely essential for its long-term survivability. As the interest payment on debt is tax deductible, the addition of debt to the existing capital funding will improve the profitability of the firm. If interest was not tax-deductible, firms' owners would be indifferent as to whether to use debt or equity and in situations where interest is tax-deductible, they would maximize the value of their firms by using 100% debt financing (Azhagaiah & Gavoury, 2011). This is prohibited by the fact that the use of debt in capital structure financing decisions leads to agency costs. Hence, with the ultimate aim of giving sound capital structure decisions, testing the relationship between capital structure and the profitability of the firm carries utmost importance.
The trade-off between using debt and equity in the financing decisions of investments, the lack of an agreement about what would qualify as the optimal capital structure in the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors and finally the necessity to comprehend whether capital structure effects profitability or not in Turkey constitute the primary motive to conduct this research.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows: As the initial step, both the theoretical papers, as well as the more recently conducted empirical papers on the relationship between capital structure and the profitability of a firm will be analyzed. Following this section, the methodology that will be used in this study including Correlation, Univariate and Multivariate analysis will be explained. Finally, the results of the analysis will be stated followed by our conclusion on the subject.
Agency Theory: Highlights the possible conflict between shareholders and managers.
Equity: Second source of capital, (i.e. the right of shareholders on the firms' assets).
Debt: First common source of capital, (i.e. funding received by companies from outside sources).
Static Trade-Off Theory: States that the firm's optimal capital structure decision is a function of the trade-off between tax benefit due to debt use and bankruptcy-related costs.
Capital Structure: Mix of debt and equity used by companies in order to finance its investments.
Pecking Order Theory: States that a profitable firm in need of additional fund first tends to use its retained earnings.
Irrelevance Theorem: States that firms should be indifferent in choosing between debt and equity in their financing decisions.

July is National Minority Mental Health Month
More than a decade ago, a supplement to the Surgeon General's report on mental health found that minority groups are less likely than whites to seek mental health services. When they do seek help, they tend to receive poorer quality mental health care. This health disparity continues, the American Psychological Association reports, as African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans and Native Americans today face inequities in cost, stigma and quality of care.
Bebe Moore Campbell's advocacy
To draw attention to this disparity, in 2008 the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution declaring July as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental health Awareness Month. African-American author Bebe Moore, who died in 2006, used her status as author and NPR commentator to raise awareness of mental health issues, particularly among minority populations. Her children's book Sometimes My Mommy Gets Angry, is the story of a young girl learning to cope with her mother's bipolar disorder.
Poverty, lack of health insurance, part of the problem
The National Health Interview Survey, released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in May 2015, revealed what many have suspected: The poor suffer from mental illness at a greater rate than those who are economically stable. The report found that 8.7 percent of people living below the Federal Poverty Level claim to suffer serious psychological distress. The rate drops to 1.2 percent among those with incomes at or above four-times the poverty level. Nationwide, the poverty rate among blacks and Hispanics is more than double that of whites.
The survey also showed that adults who lacked health insurance coverage were more likely to suffer serious psychological distress than those with health insurance. While the gap between whites and minorities' uninsured rates has been narrowing since the inception of the Affordable Care Act, overall, minorities still fall behind.
Cultural differences create barriers
San Francisco psychotherapist CK Olivieri Blackmore notes that accessing the American mental health care systems can be difficult, even for those raised in Western society. "Add in the logistical dilemmas of language barriers, immigration status concerns, transportation challenges, childcare," says Olivieri Blackmore, "and a once intensive barrier becomes a wall."
Many cultures do not believe in the Western biomedical model. "We consider a plethora of behaviors in Western society to be maladaptive," says Olivieri Blackmore, "when within cultural context they are entirely normative." This becomes a problem, according to Olivieri Blackmore, when individuals are diagnosed. While many cultures embrace a much broader view of health to include spirituality, medical billing codes don't allow for this — "… thus we are forced to diagnose people who may be going through a culturally normative experience with a disorder if they want to use insurance."
The need for culturally competent practitioners
Psychologist Dr. O'Shan D. Gadsden believes the greatest cultural barrier in treating minority patients is "…culturally unresolved and distorted mental health practitioners." Gadsden, who specializes in black masculinity and cultural psychodynamics, says social science research focuses on a pathology model that sees minority populations as "in crisis" and "deviant." This model is internalized by mental health practitioners and lacks cultural nuances, knowledge of which is necessary to provide viable, holistic treatment. Additionally, Gadsden believes negative portrayals of minorities in the media distort a practitioner's ability to competently treat minority populations.
Gadsden sees better training of mental health practitioners as the solution —"Training programs and continuing education seminars should promote serious inquiry and curiosity about one's positionality (i.e., beliefs, values, and attitudes) and potential bias. This inquiry and reflection should promote a more fluid understanding of the cultural self in relation to the cultural other."
In a 2005 commentary, Bebe Moore Campbell told the story of a close family member who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. "The illness became our family's deep, dark secret," she wrote. There is a stigma attached to mental illness, one that minorities feel more keenly. "In a race-conscious society," Campbell wrote, "some don't want to be perceived as having yet another deficit." The celebration of National Minority Mental Health Month is aimed at shedding light on the "deep, dark secret."

MURFREESBORO – Middle Tennessee (7-4) lost both games in a doubleheader with Iowa (9-1) Saturday at Reese Smith Jr. Field.
The Hawkeyes took the first game in a 2-1 decision, and they finished the sweep off in the nightcap 6-1.
The two losses Saturday mean that the Blue Raiders will drop their first series of the 2015 season.
Despite a strong performance from starter Johnathan Frebis (2-1), MTSU was unable to put together enough offense to give him a better result.
The Blue Raiders put the first run on the board in the bottom of the fourth inning after Conference-USA leading hitter Brad Jarreau scored first baseman Kevin Dupree off a single to center.
Iowa answered back with a run of their own in the top of the fifth. Kris Goodman drove in Jake Mangler on a single to center to tie the game up at one apiece.
The Hawkeyes pushed ahead in the top of the sixth with a Taylor Kaufman RBI groundout that plated Goodman. The run moved Iowa ahead for the rest of the game, winning it 2-1.
Frebis impressed despite the loss. Frebis worked six innings of six-hit three-strikeout baseball. Freshman Blake Stansberry came in to relieve Frebis in the seventh. The freshman continued his good work in the early season, allowing only one hit in his three innings of work. His earned run average is now at 2.61 after not allowing a run in his last three outings.
Tyler Peyton (2-0) notched the win for Iowa, giving up a run on six hits in five innings.
The Blue Raiders outhit the Hawkeyes in the game, belting out nine hits compared to Iowa's seven. Jarreau was the only Blue Raider to record a multi-hit game, going 2-for-5 with the lone RBI for MTSU.
Although they outhit Iowa, MTSU could not come up with the important ones with runners in scoring position. They left 11 runners on base in the matchup.
It was the first time all season that MTSU had been held to only one run.
Middle Tennessee tried to salvage a split in the doubleheader in the nightcap, but they came up short, losing 6-1 in the second game.
Another good start by a Blue Raider pitcher was wasted in this game. Starter Nate Hoffman (0-1) recorded the loss, despite pitching a season-high six innings, striking out three, and giving up one earned run.
Iowa struck first in this one, scoring a run in the top of the first off a Peyton double that scored Mangler.
Eric Toole added a second run for the Hawkeyes in the top of the fourth, driving in Eric Schenck-Joblinske on a single to left.
The Blue Raiders finally got on the board in the bottom of the fourth. Infielder Austin Bryant hit a sacrifice fly to right field that sent Michael Adkins across home plate. The game was 2-1 in favor of Iowa after four innings.
The one run was all MTSU managed to get in the game. The Hawkeyes added two runs in the eighth and ninth to win the game 6-1, sweeping the doubleheader.
Relievers Benji Cash and Caleb Smith each gave up two runs.
Outfielder Ronnie Jebavy was the only Blue Raider with more than one hit. He went 2-for-4 in the nightcap. Jebavy extended his hitting streak to nine with his effort.
Jarreau, Bryant, Dupree and Jake Ingold were the only other Blue Raiders to record a hit.
Blake Hickman (2-0) earned the win for Iowa, allowing one run on four hit in six innings of work.
The Blue Raider will try to avoid the sweep on Sunday. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. CST.

"Printmakers news
Here we are in the middle of the year and the cold blast has certainly hit. June (Hune)
Great to see the art and culture around Matariki with a list of exciting events happening. I've got plans on going along to see this event next weekend. Light festivals seem to be coming a big part of outdoor events and really nice with the clear skies to entice us outdoors, even at this time of year as the sky is stunning with Matariki.
Our monthly meet-up brought a new member Levon Parker who popped in to meet us and see how our space is setup. With the upcoming exhibition it will be a nice time to get to meet all of us. In attendance for the group was myself, Alicia, Dianne, Jenny and Kate. So another good turn out as we get into the colder months. I find it hard sometimes to venture out on these frosty but stunningly sunny days. I have been following Toni Hartill's Instagram page with her hot travels through Spain and showing us some truly magnificent landscape and art adventures.
Dianne and I are currently working towards a set of editions for a print exchange with Print Council. Here is a peek before they get sent off.
It has been a great challenge, time wise and producing replica editions, something we both had not tried before. Searching for information on this was enlightening as to why artists produce sets and this is a great section on prints and editions as a point of reference.
On the out and about art scene I visited Orewa Estuary arts Studio print makers group exhibition.
Fifteen members of the Studio Print makers Collective were exhibiting in June at Estuary Arts Center. This is their second Showcase, following on from last years most successful exhibition at Orewa. It includes two of the original print makers who were instrumental in starting in 1990, Pat Grove-Hills and Julienne Francis. The aim now, as it was then, is to provide a working studio with presses and all necessary materials where print makers can not only work but gather to exchange ideas, hold workshops, organised exhibitions and meet visiting local and international print makers and tutors.
Studio Print makers are based in the Lake House Art Center complex at Takapuna. Fred Thomas Drive, in an army barracks building moved from the historic site of Fort Cautley and refurbished to suit the print makers needs.
The space is great and worth checking out if you are in the vicinity as they have another show starting July. My pics from the exhibition were the elliptical works by Julienne Francis and the etchings by Lisz Bodsworth.
The lineup of the members exhibiting are as follows: Susan Hurrell-Fields, Donna Dold, Ian Halliday, Diane Coleman, Val Cuthbert, Carolyn Shaw, Vivien Davimes, Lisz Bodswoth, Gillian Clark, Lianne Timlin, Elle Anderson, Sally Kim and Janmarie Thompson.
So to finish up I came across this wonderful linocut by Kadinsky.
In creating this artwork, it is as though Kandinsky was compelled to draw carefully with a stencil and let loose with a paintbrush, to let his imagination take flight and lead with form and structure. To me, that perfectly reflects a fundamental truth in all our daily lives - the constant need to navigate the delicate tensions between competing desires: to work or play, to jump up or sit down, to drink water or wine. Its both exhausting and exhilarating.
Until next time

Niall Horan began his solo career with his hit single "This Town" after One Direction members decided to take a hiatus in 2016. Horan then released his second single "Slow Hands" in early 2017 and toured with opener Maren Morris. His new album Flicker dropped in October 2017. Get tickets to see the One Direction star at Ticket Liquidator!
Niall Horan began his quick rise-to-fame with the boy band One Direction. After forming on the television show X Factor by Simon Cowell, One Direction exploded into immediate super stardom. Horan, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, and Louis Tomlinson brought their boyish charm to the pop band scene. They released five albums together in consecutive years; an impressively quick feat for a music group.
However, the journey was short lived, as rumors of a break up began to surface. Zayn Malik was the first one to depart in a manner that was slightly rocky and uncomfortable for all the die-hard shocked One Direction fans. Malik fully transitioned into his solo performer persona Zayn, and he released his first solo album Mind of Mine in 2016. His success following One Direction arguably tops his success while in the band. Zayn paved the path for his fellow band mates to make a similar decision.
Horan was the second member of the band to release solo work. Other 1D members who have released solo work include Tomlinson and Styles. His single "This Town" currently covers the mainstream radio stations, and any further progression into Horan's solo career is highly anticipated. Though One Direction is technically still together (all members besides Zayn) and on a hiatus, fans wonder when or if they'll ever hear the band play together again. Horan's "This Town" has been very successful. Horan then dropped singles "Slow Hands" and "Too Much To Ask." His debut album Flicker dropped in October 2017.

UNC sophomore Nicholas William McHenry was arrested and charged with three felonies at the West Cameron Avenue home on Thursday, including possession of cocaine and possession with the intent to sell and distribute marijuana, according to an arrest report.
McHenry declined to comment for this story.
"All in all, this was an unfortunate, isolated incident," Austin James Jackson, the president of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, said in an email.

to this area, so I've come to see the skating rink and I like that you can see The Plaza,
it's literally in the middle of Seoul so it's exciting … It's Christmas soon so this will
make me feel like Christmas " "There is quite a lot of people here… Also it's not too cold today so I think it
will be perfect for skating " On Christmas and New Year's Eve, there are
special events that people can enjoy with their friends and family, such as an igloo
experience and Christmas carol contest. Bo-bin. There some other exciting events going on

Wine of the Week for week ending
19 September 2004
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
It is hard to believe that Pinotage was once the preferred red grape variety of the New Zealand winemakers. But that was when there was less than 100 producers nationwide in a wine nation that at the time didn't know what a perfect place the South Island would be for growing grapes. In the 1960's and 70's the epicentre of the New Zealand wine industry was Auckland and the Pinotage grape was the new great red hope. The grape was from South Africa and did so well in that Southern Hemisphere climate, it was believed it would do well here too. The problem was that many of the producers had other not so tasty, foxy-flavoured hybrid grapes that they had to use up so they blended these with the Pinotage in undisclosed amounts. Many awful wines were produced and the scars still remain today. You can see some of the drinkers from that era cringe as they remember the experience.
However not every producer was at fault and some have persevered with this grape that at its best sits somewhere between Pinot Noir and Shiraz/Syrah in its structure and taste. It can be a little Merlot-like and I admit that in blind tastings I've often confused the full bodied styles with Merlot while the lighter styles can be reminiscent of Pinot Noir.
Key characters are an earthy savoury, sometimes gamey backbone with red berries, cherries and plums and good acidity.
With new clones and modern winemaking, Pinotage offers a delicious mouthfilling and robust tasty drink.
Babich Wines in Henderson has a long history with the Pinotage grape though now they have vineyards in Hawkes Bay and along with the more popular varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, they've planted their old favourite Pinotage too.
Babich Winemakers Reserve Hawkes Bay Pinotage 2002 from the Gimblett Gravels region in Hawkes Bay came top of my mini-tasting. It is densely coloured dark plum red with lovely ripe winey flavour together with cedary oak, wild berries and a tamarillo-like tartness to the dusky finish. As the wine opens up the sweet vanillin American oak becomes more obvious, leaving a chocolatey richness to the finish. This was very good with lamb cutlets that had been slowly braised in sauvignon blanc and then the following night with pizza that had a topping of onions, mushrooms, capsicums, tomatoes, pineapple, olives, garlic, feta and spicy salami .
It carries 14% alcohol and is a well-priced wine, just $24.95 recommended retail. Read more about it on the Babich website by clicking here.
The other two wines in my tasting should certainly not be ignored.
The deep red coloured Saints Marlborough Pinotage 2001 is ripe, fruity and savoury with tobacco, leather, liquorice and firm tannins. It's an earthy wine with a merlotesque quality, sweet American oak and just a hint of mint on the dark, dusky, velvety tannined finish. Youthful for its age with good acidity and lingering fruitcake cherries, it's drinking well now with plenty of life ahead of it. 13.5% alc.
Saints Hawkes Bay Pinotage 2002 is dense red-black in colour. Quite savoury, a little leathery and earthy with firm tannins and plenty of rich red berry fruit that leads to a long sustained finish with spicy vanillin oak lingering. Fruity with structure, it shows the quality of the excellent 2002 Hawkes Bay vintage.

This edLeader Panel will provide school leaders with an overview of executive functioning, an umbrella term that refers to one's ability to initiate, break down, and follow through on multi-step tasks.
When the administrators at Vestavia Hills High School (AL) were tasked with creating a leadership program, they knew one thing right away. They did not want to develop another program that tapped only the top students and did nothing to engage the rest of the student body. The resulting Youth Leadership program has not only had a positive impact on the school's culture, but also provided the school's administrators with several important lessons. In their edWebinar, "Build a Positive School Culture with a Student-Run App," Kym Prewitt, Leadership Teacher at Vestavia Hills High School, and Whit McGhee, Director of Public Relations at Vestavia Hills City Schools, shared what they learned and how the kids continue to surprise them.
In this edWebinar, hear how students found and used their voice to create the ultimate engagement tool—a mobile app all about student life.
