Dwyer Group, one of the world's largest franchising companies of home service brands partnered with strategic marketing leader Bullish to seamlessly connect consumers to Dwyer Group's community of home service professionals. After decades of acquiring and growing franchises, Dwyer Group and Bullish created Neighborly to introduce solutions to consumers' growing demand for service providers who maintain the highest professional standards in a unified, online platform.
With Neighborly as a singular umbrella brand, Dwyer Group is now realizing its long-term vision of introducing homeowners who used one brand to additional resources to complete all of their repair, maintenance and enhancement projects. Neighborly launched in 2017 and now envelops 13 of Dwyer Group's U.S. franchise companies and nine Canadian brands, under Neighbourly. Neighborly's brands range from landscaping and plumbing to housecleaning and painting, among others and no other company can match the depth of expertise and collective know-how of its 3,100 committed franchisee owners.
"We recognized in today's fast-paced world, there was an opportunity to leverage our industry leadership in the home services category to simplify the consumers' search process," said Lisa Zoellner, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer, Dwyer Group. "We had a vision and the Bullish team's research and understanding of the marketplace helped create and introduce Neighborly in the U.S. and Neighbourly in Canada."
Zoellner and Senior Vice President of Marketing Cody Pierce hired Consultancy Hasan + Co. to spearhead the national search, resulting in the selection and on-going partnership with New York City-based Bullish.
Developing Neighborly/Neighbourly was the catalyst for the respective U.S. and Canadian websites, digital experience and go-to market approach. Home owners can create free, online accounts to organize their past and upcoming maintenance projects as well as subscribe to an e-newsletter filled with a wide variety of expert topics. This year, Bullish is expanding to work with individual Neighborly brands to further drive awareness and deliver on the growing customer demand for professional, trustworthy home services.
"In a world where consumers seeking home services had to choose from businesses here today, and who may be gone tomorrow, it is exciting to partner with a company with a proven history, RICH Values and the integrity of Dwyer Group," said Michael Duda, Managing Partner, Bullish Inc. "We look forward to accelerating its growth and brand profile."

24 June 2016 Archived
Last year Strauss & Co achieved its highest turnover in its eight-year history, setting 21 new artists'' records and showing depth in the market with impressive sales across all departments. While 2015 ended with the untimely loss of Stephan Welz, the company''s founding Managing Director, Strauss & Co''s midyear results are testimony to the resilience of the company and the confidence that clients have in the expertise and integrity of its staff.
The mid-year results reaffirm Strauss & Co's position as the global leader for South African art with a turnover of R90 736 710 and a sell-through rate over 80%. "Our market-related estimates remain at the core of our practice and are substantiated by our consistently high sell-through rate," says Bina Genovese, joint Managing Director.
Strauss & Co's Cape Town auction in March was dominated by works by Robert Hodgins, three of which featured amongst the top ten lots. The highlight was undoubtedly Hodgins' Bad Man with Great Threads which sold for R2,4 million, tripling the pre-sale estimate. Strauss & Co holds all the records for the artist including the R2,6 million achieved for J'Accuse in March 2015.
A further highlight was Walter Battiss's Red Rock which sold for R1,8 million. Executed in 1949 it constitutes a seminal work in the artist's oeuvre. Birds and Boats by Maggie Laubser, one of the most appealing paintings by Laubser to appear at auction in recent years, sold for R1,5 million, setting the bar for the selection of works by the artist that will be on offer in Cape Town later this year. A number of these works were found on a recent series of valuations in the Eastern Cape. Vanessa Phillips, Joint Managing Director, commented "We are excited by the works consigned as they are fresh to the market and have excellent provenance".
While South Africa's weaker currency and other external economic factors might have been expected to dampen the market, exchange rates favouring international buyers resulted in an increased interest from abroad. In particular this trend is illustrated by a group of 'Persian style' illustrations by the Russian artist Paul Mak which sold for R932 000 following fierce competition between ten international telephone bidders. Visiting auctioneer Dendy Easton, former director of Sotheby's UK and well-known for his appearances on the BBC Antiques Roadshow, noted "This exceptional result underscores Strauss & Co's power to exploit the internet to reach a global audience."
The strong market for fine Cape furniture was once again evident. Pieces once part of the historic Vergelegen Estate in Somerset West achieved R2,4 million which included the highest price ever paid for a gate-leg table. Interest in Cape history continued with the 100% sell-through rate for a single owner collection of fine Cape silver which totalled over R1,1 million.
The Johannesburg May auction was headlined by Irma Stern's Portrait of Freda Feldman with Basuto Hat which realised over R5 million. This arresting portrait was repatriated to South Africa from Australia confirming our clients' confidence in Strauss & Co to handle works of this calibre. The sale was marked by confident bidding on the eleven works on offer by JH Pierneef which all sold well over their pre-sale estimates. A further encouraging sign of the market's strength was the competition for Vladimir Tretchikoff's Sunflowers which saw R1.7 million achieved against a pre-sale estimate of R400 000 - 600 000.

It was once again pleasing to see the continuing appetite for contemporary South African art evident both in Cape Town and Johannesburg with artists such as William Kentridge, Penny Siopis, Sue Williamson, Willem Boshoff, Pieter Hugo, Kudzanai Chiurai and Andrew Verster all performing exceptionally well. Strauss & Co's results attest to the extraordinary growth in this area of the market over the last few years and Art Specialist Alex Richards believes that the "interest is in line with global trends focusing on contemporary African and South African art".
The second half of 2016 opens with new players entering the market and changes in our Johannesburg and Cape Town offices. "New entrants suggest buoyancy and confidence in the art market" says Bina Genovese, "and Strauss & Co will continue to be at the forefront of the development of the South African art market. Our commitment to our clients is unwavering and we look forward to exceptional results in the second half of the year".

Setting off at 8am on Sunday morning Paris covered the 268 mile Montane Spine Race course, labelled as Britain's most Brutal Race, in a staggering 83 hours 12 minutes 23 seconds. Setting off from Edale the Inov-8 Ambassador set the early pace in combination with previous winners Eugeni Rosello Sole and Eoin Keith with the trio pulling away from the field as they ascended Kinder Scout. By Hawes existing course record holder Eoin Keith had been dropped and Eugeni and Jasmin were alone at the front of the pack.
Image by Racing Snakes
Running together until Tuesday morning the pair pulled ahead but as Eugeni slept at Alston, Jasmin Paris cut her sleep short and made her move. By Greenhead the lead was 1 hour 45 minutes and by Bellingham Paris was racing the clock rather than the field of runners strung out over 100+ miles behind her. Despite taking less sleep through the first 200+ miles the gap widened with each checkpoint, reaching 3:27 by Bellingham. Blessed by the best weather in recent Spine history the snow of recent years, up to waist deep at times, was missing but the front runners still faced serious wind both in the typically damp start and on the climb up Pen Y Ghent - where Spine Race Challenger leaders had been reduced to an ascent on hands and knees.
The moment when Jasmin Paris made a break for victory
Image by Racing Snakes
Taking only 7 hours 45 minutes rest over the 3 and a half days, including time out to express breast milk for her baby, Paris has now added the overall Spine Race record to her collection, following on from last year's exploits which included the overall record for the legendary Ramsey Round. With a course record of 95:17 (Eoin Keith 2016) and a Women's record of 109:54 (Carol Morgan 2017) as targets an average speed of over 3mph saw her complete all bar the first two stages ahead of record schedule. with only 4 competitors within 50 miles!
Image by Racing Snakes
In setting such an unrelenting pace, and with a constantly growing gap, the race's live tracking came under pressure as the outside world woke up to the extraordinary story developing and social media saw unprecedented excitement at the prospect of first a female overall winner and then the all-time record being dismantled. With the Ramsey Round and Spine Race records in her pocket the question now is whether there's a seperate "Men's record" in the same way there was a "Women's record" - or have we reached the era of just a single, gender-free, record list.
For the remaining competitors the weather looks set to take a turn for the worst, with snow possibly adding to the challenge of just completing the course. You can follow the progress on the Live Tracker

(BARRON, WIS) – a 13-year-old's parents were found dead in their western Wisconsin home.
Police went to the home after a 911 call from an unknown person was made around 1:00 am on Monday.
Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald said they found the bodies of Jayme Closs' parents deceased. Gunshots were also evident, but the Sheriff stopped short of saying that is what caused the death.
Police say they don't have any suspects or leads at the moment, but they have the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children as well as the FBI assisting, which have agents who specialize in missing children's cases, the Sheriff said.
The child is not considered a suspect in the death of both her parents.
A police search surrounding the home, which utilized drones and infrared equipment did not reveal any clues as to where the missing child could be.
"At the end of the end of the day, I want a 13-year-old here safe and sound. That's our goal. That's our only goal right now," Fitzgerald said during a press conference.
Police attended the girl's school and were speaking with her acquaintances and friends in hopes of digging up some leads.
Jayme is described as 5-foot tall, 100 pounds with strawberry blond hair and green eyes.
Barron is about 130 kilometres east of Minneapolis.
There is no vehicle description or suspects at this current moment.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Barron County Sheriff's Office at 855-744-3879

The Katrafar Shipping Lines, an operator of Moro boats in the Zamboanga-Jolo and Bongao routes, is unique in the sense that it is probably the only Moro boat shipping company that still have regular schedules (aside from the related ship Karmina) after a lot of contemporaries like A. Sakaluran were already gone. As such they are still entitled to docking space and operation in the Zamboanga PPA port while most Moro boats were already relegated to different Baliwasan wharves like Tres Marias, PHIDCO and PMS. Moro boats are the name that Philippine Ship Spotters Society use to denote wooden-hulled ships of distinct Moro design usually found in western Mindanao (and southern Mindanao before) that are related to the Arabian 'dhow'.
Like other Moro boats the Katrinas are not equipped with bunks and instead they use folding tarpaulin cots and if these are arranged side-by-side perpendicular to the length of the ship starting from the sides and going to the center if more passenger berths are needed. Since passenger space and amenities are more restricted they charge less than the Zamboanga steel-hulled ferries and they can afford this since their fuel consumpation is lower. At times they even lead in discounting and the fare can really get low as is P175 for the 93-nautical mile Zamboanga-Jolo route. Now consider that 55-nautical mile or so Cebu-Leyte ferries can already charge P400 for economy bunks. Like the Zamboanga cruiser ferries the Katrafar ships leave at night and they reach Jolo or Zamboanga, their main route in the early morning which is the preferred arrival time of the passengers.
A relic of the past, it seems Katrafar will still not go away anytime soon. There is always room for budget carriers that offers simple, no-frills passage. And if ever they lose patronage they can still go to the Baliwasan wharves and become cargo-passenger ships which prioritizes cargoes over passengers. The worst and final scenario is they will be used as barter ships and become mainstays of Varadero de Recodo and Varadero de Cawit.

You are focused on planning, budgeting, production and inventory management and building your relationship with customers and despite all the hard work struggle with paying your bills on time. The traditional business line of credit is not the only solution available to manufacturing companies.
Factoring, also known as AR financing, and PO financing enable you to increase your working capital without going through the lengthy application procedures of banks. With Working Capital of America, you will receive a financial solution tailored to the needs of your business.
Effective Solution for Any Situation

The remainder minus a small administrative and processing fee is wired to you once we obtain the payment by your customers. For them, the terms and conditions remain the same. Our account managers ensure that all payment process go smoothly.
Purchase order factoring works in a similar way and is designed for manufacturing companies that have order-based instead of mass production. When you receive a big order and need to purchase more supplies and even hire extra equipment and staff, you can send the invoice to use to receive the funds that you require in advance. After we collect the payment from your customer, we will wire the remainder minus our fee.
What makes Working Capital of America stand out in addition to the attractive rates is our commitment to providing a customer service of exceptional quality. Our financial specialists will come up with an effective and flexible solution for you, helping you decide what portion of your invoices to factor and what fraction of the payment owed to you to receive in advance.
What Makes Factoring a Great Choice?
When you choose our factoring services for your manufacturing business, you will enjoy:
Flexibility – Invoice factoring works like a business line of credit supplying you with cash, but without the rigorous initial assessment process and the long-term commitment. You decide when to use our solution and how.
Effective debt management – When you have sufficient working capital at hand, it will be easier for you to repay lenders and to build a solid credit history.
Saving money – With our factoring solution, you can pay suppliers more quickly to qualify for discounts. This is how you will have even more cash at hand while reducing our costs.

Miransha Naik's debut feature, Juze, that centres around migrant workers, who face abuse and violence at the hands of their employers and landlords, in a Goan village was recently screened at the India Habitat Centre, Delhi, as part of the Indian Express Film Club.
Spearheaded by The Indian Express film critic, Shubhra Gupta, the club aims to garner an audience for little celebrated cinematic gems, that further the viewer's imagination and ignite a dialogue. Juze marked the first screening of a Konkani film for the club.
The emotionally searing 2017 film charts the underbelly of India's feel-good state and brings to the fore a crisis that is plaguing the globe — that of refugees. "There are so many people who come to this beautiful land for jobs, for a better life. There are a lot of negative feelings for them but there is also the understanding that they are needed for the land. But Goa in this story only serves as an example for what is happening around the globe. The current milieu across the world is that of immigrants and the duality of those whose lands they come to — we want them, we don't want them; to what extent do we need them. It is important to see this film in that context," said Prof. Sinclair, who is an erstwhile resident of Goa.
While many drew analogies between the goings-on in Goa and the way migrants are treated in Delhi, Mali Swariya said, "It reminds me of other movies that are themed around feudalism like Ankur by Shyam Benegal. At the end of that film, a child throws a stone at the oppressor's house and I saw a glimpse of that child in Santosh (Rushikesh Naik, protagonist of the film). These moments of resistance are the weapons of the weak and that makes the characters in this film very strong," said Swariya.
Pranav Kharbanda, a regular at the film club said, "I am glad that the makers did not show something magical or peddle a false idea of freedom at the end of the film because the elitism shown in this film exists at so many levels in every city, at every step of the way. There is no escaping it."

George Heyward Company Records (Kirkland), 1882-1919 | Northern Illinois University
Title: George Heyward Company Records (Kirkland), 1882-1919
Extent: 5.25 Linear Feet
Subjects (links to similar collections)
Scope and Contents: These records document the financial history of the George Heyward Company from its founding in 1882 to 1919. Primarily dealing in lumber materials, the Heyward Company expanded its inventory to encompass various building supplies including glass, oils, and paint. The major series of the collection is a partial set of business account ledgers detailing business transactions of the Heyward Company during the years 1882 to 1919. An invoice book, cash book, and a separate series of invoices (1895-1919) supplement data contained in the account ledgers. These invoices highlight the large variety of Heyward customers and suppliers scattered throughout the Midwest. Business correspondence also focuses upon invoice information such as orders for materials and requests for bill payments. Researchers should note that records from 1920 to the sale of the firm in 1933 are missing and three ledger books, retained by Mr. Eckland, may be donated to the Center at a later date.

10 rounds of:
:20 sec. extended-arm mace hold
10 Mace 360/ Kettlebell halo
5 calories Airdyne
Weight for hold and 360 are the same today- self-scaled, challenging, and uninterrupted. If needed, kettlebell halo is performed at up to 1/4 BW. Airdyne calories are a vicious sprint in each and every round.
There is no designated rest- take as little as possible, and recover breathing during hold.
And then, 5 rounds of:
2 reps "Hollow position complex"
(4 360 sit-up + 4 V-up + 4 Rocking chair= 1 rep)
10 Underhand bodyweight row
Hollow position complex: Goal is completion of each rep (12 movements) without breaking position. Today, if needed, rest no more than :10 sec. between each rep.
And then, "Time under tension":
Work to "True" failure (loss of physical positioning) not "Relative" failure (loss of mental endurance). If time reaches two minutes, you may stop if desired. If time is under two minutes, do it again, and accumulate at least two total minutes.

Most recipes for "Maccaroni Cheese" from the period call for "pipe maccaroni" and Parmesan cheese. The closest thing to "pipe maccaroni" today is Bucatini. Ziti or Penne Rigate are more widely available but a bit thicker. In the Hand-book of the Useful Arts published in 1852, "MACARONI is a dough made of the flour of superfine wheat made into a pipe form, as thick as a goose-quill." In a pinch, the noodles from packaged macaroni and cheese today will work, just discard the cheese packet.
Period recipes recommend that the macaroni be boiled in water, milk or a meat broth and the spices for the dish frequently include white pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, mace, and mustard It could also be made in a puff paste and baked or mixed with bits of cooked ham or bacon. It is different from modern "mac and cheese" because it was more of a seasoned butter cream sauce with cheese added instead of the entire noodle being saturated in cheese.
There is a receipt for it in Mary and John Spaulding's Civil War Recipes: Receipts from the Pages of Godey's Lady's Book which dates the recipe to 1861. The recipe is for "Maccaroni Cheese" and reads as follows "Boil the maccaroni in milk; put in the stewpan butter, cheese, and seasoning; when melted, pour into the maccaroni, putting breadcrums over, which brown before the fire all together."
I have not found the recipe in the 1861 magazine but have found it in the October issue of 1863. This doesn't mean it was not in the 1861 magazine, because sometimes receipts in the magazine were repeated after a few years. I did find a different recipe for "Maccaroni Cheese" in the 1861 issue which I will include here.
|This is the recipe I used above.
Why is this distinction important? Because the recipe has hit the internet for the "150 anniversary" and has been cloned and promoted on other sites as being from 1861. (This recipe is so popular it even has its own facebook page.) :D This is a good example how an error in a secondary source can become multiple errors in the history field. Does this mean that the book is horrible and no one should read it? No. It's a great book that brings a lot of great recipes together for people who can't access the real thing. It is one of my favorite books. But it does point out that you should always check your secondary sources against the real thing before you label something as fact. Everyone makes mistakes, just check to make sure you aren't amplifying a mistake.
Does it mean that the online recipe is not good? Not at all and the recipe clearly states that the author took it directly from the book implying that they did not check an actual copy of Godey's Lady's Book. Their intent was clearly to provide a period recipe for the masses to make and they succeeded. It's a recipe I would make in my kitchen but not in the field. We have to be careful: stating that they "had Mac and Cheese" during the Civil War may mislead the public or new reenactors into thinking it was the same as is today.

We often mix up our circumstances with our thoughts and then develop beliefs that are not based on fact. Circumstances are facts we can all agree on such as what people say to us, events from our past, a birth, death, diagnosis like high blood pressure, cancer, and our current weight are just a few examples. Circumstances are completely neutral. It is our thoughts that cause the drama, what we make things mean.
Thoughts are sentences in our brain. We have over 60,000 thoughts per day. Many thoughts are programmed in our primitive brain because they are recurring thoughts. Our brain likes to be on auto-pilot so it often goes to programmed thoughts first vs. coming up with something new. So if you are wondering why the same things keep coming up for you, it is because you have not taught your brain anything new to think about the situation or circumstance.
For example when my weight (which is a neutral circumstance) stayed the same when I was on a diet for weeks without dropping, I reverted to thinking: Why bother, I'm never going to lose weight and keep it off, I might as well eat these cookies. These thoughts perpetuated my weight loss struggle. I kept making the number on the scale mean I was never going to be successful at losing weight which caused me to feel defeated and led to overeating and not losing weight or gaining weight.
This was a perpetual cycle for me until I learned that the scale is just neutral and I could pick a different thought. I could ask my brain what I wanted to think about the scale and weight loss such as the scale is just a measure of my bones, organs, muscles and fat and is not a reflection of me as a person. Another thought could be I am capable of figuring out how to lose weight and keep it off forever. These thoughts caused me to feel motivated which helped me pick a healthy eating plan that I could follow easily, plan my meals 24 hours in advance and took the drama out of the scale and losing weight.
Circumstances are just neutral facts until we have a thought about them. Start asking your brain questions. Be curious.
What are the facts?
What are the thoughts?
What am I making this mean?
Is this true or is this a faulty belief?
What else could I think about this circumstance?
With over 60,000 thoughts going through our brain daily, let's put our higher brain to work and ask some questions that will help us get us get closer to our goals or even figure out what those goals are instead of being on auto-pilot.

Cheesy News — Soft Cheese
Fougerus, from the heart of Brie 40
Fougerus, The heart of Brie, but not Brie
- Producer - Fromagerie Rouzaire
- Origin - France
- Milk Type - Cow
- Ageing - 30 days
The word, Brie, has become somewhat a bastardised description of most white mould soft cheeses produced anywhere in the world. The rumour mill has it that the French are moving to protect the name just as Champagne has been. The Italians have worked hard for feta and have questionably moved to try and protect prosecco, but the jury is out on this one. Fougerus is from the heart of Brie but does not carry the name as it diverts slightly from the purist ideology of what Brie should be. The name, Fougerus, is unique to Rouzaire and a lessen to cheesemakers around the world in their naming of produce.
The distinguishing feature of Fougerus is the fern placed beautifully on top. The fern imparts a forest flavour and aroma to the cheese that highlights the Brie countryside. The French word for 'fern' is fougère, the obvious link to the name of this cheese. Once inside the white bloomy mould, the pate is soft and creamy. When ripe and taken past its best before date, the interior will be smooth and runny.
"Old World" cheeses of Europe and UK are typically named after the town where they first originated. Think of the cheese and you will find a region or town that lies at the gastronomic heart of that cheese… With the exception of stilton and cheddar. Stilton gets its name from where it was first sold, at the Bell Inn in Stilton, as this was the first staging coach stop for the London to Edinburgh route. Cheddar refers to a process of turning the curd 180degs which is called 'cheddaring'.

Cultural definitions for conditioned response
conditioned response
In psychology, the response made by a person or animal after learning to associate an experience with a neutral or arbitrary stimulus. Conditioned response experiments by Ivan Pavlov (see Pavlov's dogs) paired a neutral stimulus (sounding a bell) with a natural response (salivating) by associating the bell with the presentation of food. Conditioned response experiments by B. F. Skinner and other behaviorists (see behaviorism) associated an arbitrary action (an animal's pressing a lever) with a positive reward (presentation of food) or a negative reward (an electric shock).
notes for conditioned response
Response conditioning is used in behavior modification. Stop-smoking clinics, for example, may use an electric shock whenever a patient lights up. The patient will then associate smoking with the unpleasant experience of the shock.

Glamour Features The Cowgirl and Alicia Sinclair in Print Issue26 April 2018
Cady Drell's article — How Far Would You Go for an Orgasm? — featuring Alicia Sinclair and her brand The Cowgirl, was first published in the April 2018 issue of Glamour. Below is an excerpt from the article.
A sex saddle is exactly what it sounds like: a furniture-size vibrator with plenty of, um, horsepower. The original version, called the Sybian, was invited in the 1980s and has been called the most powerful sex toy in the world. But at a retail price of $1,250, it mostly shows up in porn. Recently, though, new companies have updated this toy for a different woman in mind. "My goal was to modernize it, both aesthetically and with the tech," says Alicia Sinclair, the founding director of the company behind the sleek new The Cowgirl, which costs $2,000. (Another company, Motorbunny, aims to make the toy more buyer-friendly with an $899 model.) All the different variations need plenty of closet space — unless you like things out in the open. "I think having a large piece that kind of takes up space is great for the overall conversation around women's pleasure," says Sinclair.

Wildlife conservation breeding in Iran
Assisted reproductive technologies (A.R.T.) for endangered species such as cheetahs and leopards can be viewed as a tool that can increase reproductive output. Knowing specific factors that can influence fertility and either providing conditions that reflect those that are naturally found, or attempting to mimic them artificially can enhance natural reproduction.

Roudsar Persian leopard in torment
People exert noticeable impacts on biodiversity in several ways. As long as there are greedy and uncaring people, there will be change in relative abundance of species. Namely hunting is estimated to have caused 33% of the extinctions of mammals.

Hefty fine, insurance policy reduces leopard casualties in Iran
TEHRAN — Increasing the fine for killing leopards by 16 times to 800 million rials (nearly $20,000) and insuring the animals against any possible threat has resulted in fewer casualties in Iran, IRNA news agency reported.
By Farnaz Heidari
Why wildlife management in Iran needs more support?
Like forests, wildlife has had special value for people, not only for the meat and hides which provides us with food and clothing, but also because we enjoy knowing that we share the Earth with other living creatures, enjoy observing them, and in some cases have made them cultural and even sacred symbols.

Meet Stunning Yamaha R15 GF Edition by Gears & Fillets (Chennai)
Meet Yamaha R15 GF Edition by Gears & Fillets: While everyone is talking about the third generation R15, Gears & Fillets brought their impressively wrapped Yamaha R15 V2 in Gloss Red and Black. As stock shades of R15 V2 are filled with stickers all over, those who love watching plain shades would feel at home with this typical motorcycle.
Using Red as major shade, they have offered black inserts at important positions to make things better than ever. Alloy wheels were left black to get the best out of proportionate design language of the R15 V2. Inspired by the R15 V3, they have used Black stripe in the middle of the fuel tank on the bike. This angle also clears that Gears & Fillets have named this one as R15 GF Edition.
Headlights of this R15 are completely smoked and fitted with projectors that have red outer rings. Rear light also gets wrapped in dark shade and flaunts an upside-down Y design area for the headlight. You can find a skull pasted over the fuel tank while all mechanical parts were kept stock for best riding experience.
Yamaha R15 V2 is powered by a 149.8cc, single cylinder engine producing 16.8 BHP and 15 Nm of torque. The engine is liquid cooled, fuel injected and comes with a 6-speed gearbox. Yamaha recently discontinued the YZF-R15 Version 2.0 in India.

Discerning God's Work In The World: Tips From The Times For Preachers: Preachers, take heart!
Sunday, February 27, 2011
Preachers, take heart!On NPR today, I heard an interview with the young writer and former reporter Tom Rachman. His (partly) comical novel about journalists, The Imperfectionists, received rave reviews and is now out in paperback. He came across in the interview as charming, rueful, insightful, and humane. I'd like to read his book. For now, though, I'm highlighting something he said. Much of the discussion was about print versus the impact of the Internet. He expressed confidence in the future of print, but his most important emphasis was on storytelling and its communal function (the usual image of the storyteller and the campfire).
He said (I think this is an exact quote), "Everybody loves a good story, and everybody loves great characters."
What is the Bible if not The Greatest Story Ever Told, with some of the greatest characters ever?
The challenge, of course, is for sermons to be The Story, not just anecdotes from the preacher's personal collection. It's relatively easy if the text is one of the stories from the Gospels, only a little more difficult in the case of the stories from the Old Testament, and much harder if it's Paul or the other non-narrative portions of Scripture. I still swear by what I was taught 35 years ago: no matter what the Biblical text, the sermon is still The Story.

This is our story. We are a team that are passionate about our values and delivering life changing results for our clients.
Peter Marshall
"If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything."
McAlister Family Law was established in November 2017 by Amanda McAlister, with the aim of creating a leading niche family and children law practice like no other.
Before McAlister Family Law, Amanda headed the matrimonial practice of the international law firm Slater and Gordon: she created not only one of the largest family law teams in the country but also made it the "go-to" brand for divorce and separation disputes, as well as being influential in taking it from Tier 4 to Tier 1 in the leading independent directories. In addition, she forged connections with national organizations such as the National Crime Agency and the Police Federation of England and Wales.
Following the launch of McAlister Family Law, Amanda was swiftly joined Liz Cowell and Fiona Wood, both as partners and both of whom had been at Pannone LLP. They are without doubt two of the best and brightest family lawyers in the country and are known leaders in their respective fields. Their arrival was followed by that of Christopher Fairhurst, a renowned expert in Children Law, and who enabled us further to build on our expertise in such an important area of the law. We then welcomed solicitor Jonathan Casey, and in March 2018 McAlister Family Law opened the doors of its beautiful Cheshire offices in Alderley Edge and Stockport. In the same month the firm achieved the astonishing feat of being awarded Lexcel accreditation, a quality mark awarded by the Law Society to firms demonstrating excellence in processes and procedures. To have achieved this in only three short months of trading is something we are extremely proud of. In the summer the team expanded once more with the appointment of military divorce expert Paul Reay, based at the Alderley Edge office, and Carla Walton at Manchester. And the team continues to grow.
In a forward-thinking and revolutionary move, last year we were joined by some of the country's leading Children Law specialists: Nick Hodson, from Slater and Gordon and Donna Roberts, from Stephensons. Both are known in the legal world as being professionals at the very top of their game, and are much sought-after, authoritative voices in this hugely important area of the legal world. Outside of London, there are none to rival their expertise and experience. We also welcomed Paul Webb, a much-respected and admired specialist in Public and Child Law.
All of our team are passionate about delivering life-changing results for our clients. No matter who we act for - wives, husbands, children, grandparents or partners - we always deliver on our promises and secure the best possible outcome, so that our clients can move forward with their lives in positivity.
Our team are passionate not only about families and children but are firm in the belief that change happens for a reason. Whether that change be wanted or unwanted, anticipated or unexpected, life does and can move forward to much happier times, providing that the right expert legal advice is obtained.
Amanda herself is a divorcee, a mother and step-parent, so she knows, first-hand, the stresses and strains a marriage breakdown may cause, and that adapting to a new form of family life takes courage and strength.
Her desire to set up a specialist child and family law firm was driven by her resolve that she would establish a law firm whose approach would not be that with a big firm mentality. She believes every client must be treated respectfully as an individual, not simply as a number. She was determined to create a practice that focuses on delivering a service that exceeds clients' expectations in terms of service, expertise and value. McAlister Family Law is the result.
We are one of the very few firms in the country that specialises not only in divorce and family disputes but also Children Law. Call us today to book your first appointment.Get in touch

Glasgow: a ghost town?
May 16,2014
The city of Glasgow is set to host the XX Commonwealth Games this July. Some of the best athletes in the world and Olympic champions from the London 2012 games are set to thrill crowds in Scotland with their sporting athleticism and determination to succeed. Expect tears to be shed, fists to be raised and poses to be struck.
Nearer to the opening ceremony, the web will no doubt be full of blogs and articles recommending places to visit in Glasgow, and how to best spend time in the city. Sure, Glasgow may have its fair share of shopping centres and museums, but so does every other city in the UK. Instead, we're going to delve into one of the more unusual reasons why Glasgow is famous: its horror stories.
After all, Scotland loves a good ghost story. Many haunting tales involving the dead and supernatural have originated in Scotland, and Glasgow is no exception. In fact many places throughout the city are reputed to be haunted!
If you like a good ghost story, then these five places to visit in Glasgow will surely give you a terrible fright. If you don't buy in to spooky tales, the attractions are still worth visiting, as they are architecturally beautiful and well-known throughout the city.
So without further ado, here are five of the most well-known haunted buildings in Glasgow.
Birkwood Castle
The castle was built around 1860, but for nearly 80 years it was used as a children's psychiatric hospital, before closure in 2002. Unsurprisingly, this place is said to be haunted by a young boy who reportedly fell down a flight of stairs and later died. Sightings of the young boy were reported by the staff who worked at the hospital. They apparently heard crying and singing in certain parts of the building and also experienced infrequent electrical disturbances.
Provan Hall
Provan Hall was built in the 15th century, around the same time as Provand's Lordship. Provan has three ghosts: two in the older house and one in the newer building.
The older part of Provan Hall is supposed to be haunted by a woman and a boy who were killed upstairs. No one knows how or why they were killed but the two ghosts are said to wander round the building, moving furniture and tapping tables.
Provan Hall is owned by the National Trust and is a popular tourist spot in the city. Aside from the resident ghosts, it's well worth a visit, to see the attractive parkland setting and beautiful landscaped gardens.
The Craigfoot Inn
The Craigfoot Inn is located in Milton of Campsie, a sweet little village located 10 miles north of Glasgow. The staff who work there have reported seeing the spirit of a small boy in the cellar and two female ghosts in the main bar area. When the inn has been quiet, the staff are said to have heard names being called out over the bar, despite the fact that nobody's there.
According to the STV news website, a dictaphone was once left in the cellar overnight. Investigators reported hearing a child's voice, singing what seemed to be a nursery rhyme.
The Arches
Now a popular live music venue, The Arches is located on an area formerly known as Grahamston, which vanished underneath Central Station over 100 years ago. Both staff and visitors have experienced numerous sightings of a little girl calling for her mother. Another reported sighting was said to be a hand coming through the wall, before swiftly disappearing again. Creepy…..
Govan Old Parish Church
In 2012, two Chinese tourists visited this beautiful, listed church in Glasgow and videoed, what appeared to be, Princess Diana standing by a stained glass window. The footage, which you can view here, has been vigorously discussed on ghost forums and websites; however, the jury's still out as to whether the footage shows an optical illusion or if something mystical is afoot.
Fortunately, there have been no reported ghost sightings in our Glasgow hotel, the Copthorne Hotel Glasgow, so we guess that means our hotel isn't haunted, (saying that while touching wood). If you plan to visit Glasgow in the coming months, why not spend the night in luxury rather than horror? Our hotel, next to George Square, offers guests convenient access to the city centre, with shopping centres and restaurants all located nearby.
Night lights available upon request.
