The classroom can be a nightmare for first-time teachers. Thoughts of rowdy and inattentive students can plague their minds, and they might not know where to begin preparing for the lesson. These fears and worries may often be for naught, as teachers can take a step-by-step approach to preparing for their class.
This short step-by-step guide to preparing for classes can serve as any teacher's checklist before their class commences and hell begins.
Step 1: Book a classroom
Setting a venue for your class is probably one of the most crucial things a teacher needs to do. If you don't have a classroom in mind, it would be impossible to continue preparing. In such a situation, it may be beneficial to approach a service for classroom rental. Renting a classroom in Singapore for a few hours can cost as low as $180. This is especially important if you are freelancing as a teacher. Securing a venue would ensure you have a piece of mind, and can continue on with other preparations you will need for the class.
Step 2: Set your curriculum
What will you be teaching in the class? Asking yourself that question will most likely surface answers for what your lesson will be like. Remember that a class is often a place for students to learn something new. What will your students take away from this class? What type of people are you looking to engage, and with what skill sets? If you are intending to teach a skill or language, which level of mastery would be required as a prerequisite to attending this class? Figuring out these questions would give you a good gauge of the type of content that can benefit your students.
Then, it is up to you to prepare the lesson materials. Will there be worksheets? Slides? These generally are essential for students to retain what they learn during their few hours with you.
Step 3: Recruit students
Put out an announcement for holding your class, and get people who are interested to register. Remember to tell your pool of candidates about the class's goals, aims, price of the class (you need to recoup the money you pumped into the classroom rental), the content that you will be covering, whether there are hands-on elements and the unique selling points of your class.
Students will only be interested in attending your class if they understand why they should.
Common promotional places include creating a Facebook event, posting in different Facebook groups, or telling friends and family via Whatsapp and similar mediums. It might also be good to have a registration process setup for people who are interested in signing up. You might also want to collect their payment immediately after registration, to ensure there is a level of commitment to the attendance.
Step 4: Practice!
There is a Chinese saying that goes, "One minute's brilliant performance on the stage is attributed to ten years' practice off the stage." That is true for many professions, including teaching.
It's recommended that you run through exactly what you will be talking about in the slides a few times before teaching the actual class. That way you will be familiar with your content and can anticipate hiccups or problems that may arise during the class.
Remember that a class can only be successful if your students actually do spend their time meaningfully with you.
And then, you're ready to go! Smile proudly as you approach your students. Remember, these are the students who have placed their trust in your class; they're paying for it! Enjoy the short limelight; be friendly and engaging.
This is your class.

That killer instinct of an idea that lays dormant in your brain, its cage getting smaller and smaller until its trap and thrives to get out and the only way to get relief is to write it down. The tricky part is to make sure it is written down before it takes over and the idea just diminishes to ruble and you can never find that trace of where you started.
Month: December 2014
The Stress of Being Free
Working on a project for weeks, even months on end can make you come up with a routine to go about it, everyday. Once this particular project is done there is a relief that washes over. However now that this routine is no more, you begin to wonder how to construct your day that is now without reason. You may loose that part that makes you feel efficient and have to come up with a new way to go about your day, that is until your next project anyway. This goes for artists, authors, etc. It does not end there though. What happens when a person who normally works out does not have time to go to the gym as much, because they got a new job? They start to function differently, out of the normality of their everyday life. People become institutionalized of their own lives and it is hard to break free of what one knows, especially when they are left with no choice. Some people stay in their current situation even if there is a better way out for them, for they feel they wouldn't know how to function in a different atmosphere. That is what separates the thinkers and the doers in this world. The doers take that next step forward even if they are unsure of what lies ahead to gain the chance to succeed in what their routine shaped world has not yet encountered.

text: Moratorium at 9:59 on 10/01/2017 by David Williams I agree entirely with what Tom Eastman says above. Blatantly incorrect comment from Packham which he has rightly been picked up on but if the shooting community wants to gain the respect and support of Joe Public it needs to show that it can and will self regulate where there is room for genuine concern. Far too often the argument on both sides is shown as black and white and the approach taken that if they are campaigning in one direction then we must campaign in the other. Showing an understanding of the other sides concerns and accepting that they have a point when they do (and taking appropriate steps) would go a long way towards breaching the ever widening divide and making headway in spreading understanding of what we do and why.

Another edition of Monday Love…
A quote: Vacation used to be a luxury, but in today's world it has become a necessity. – Author unknown
Something personal: As many people know, we recently took a family vacation to the beach. October is a difficult time for a vacation due to my crazy fall portrait schedule and Jeff's 4th quarter travel schedule. However, since Kylie started Kindergarten this year we wanted to work around her Fall Break. I forgot how nice it feels to do "nothing" all day. Mostly because I never, ever, EVER, do nothing. It's impossible for me. We went to the beach every day, but the last day was the best. A high of 80 degrees, full sun, and a whole day with nothing to do. Bliss. Kylie had her friend Ainslee to play with and Jake loved the sand and water so much, we barely heard a peep from him. Unfortunately, my point and shoot had a dead battery and I didn't feel like bringing my BEAST to the beach everyday, so most of our vacation was documented with the new iPhone 4s. Over the last few years I've come to accept that all of my family pictures don't have to be perfect. As long as the story is there, and the moment is captured, I'm happy.
So here is a collage of my perfectly imperfect iPhone vacation pics, edited on my iPhone with Instagram. 🙂
And here are a few pics of the girls on the beach, taken with the BEAST! 🙂
A cool shopping find: I'm a little behind on my Pinterest boards, but I found these cute stocking stuffers in the Chasing Fireflies catalog. Just thought I would share. I'm trying to get ahead this year….. 🙂

There is an explanation why collocation hosting needs to be flexible. The fundamental one is because your company needs to be able to grow and recede as the market allows. Adaptable colocation makes good business sense because a fixed rate can leave you paying for things you just don't need or use. The fixed rate is not beneficial to your companies bottom line.
When you have flexibility in your provider you have the freedom to accelerate or decelerate as your business needs which can save on costs. Rack space can be bought or sold as needed which translates into no wasted space. There are no longer term contracts which can be also be costly. Colocation hosting enables you to be flexible with your business needs.
Flexibility enables your provider to adapt their services to suit your business needs. You end up with full control over the hard and software you use, as well as many other factors. There is no added expense of keeping another building connected to your main location. They give you exactly what you need, and you don't pay for what you don't use.
Flexibility allows you to configure your servers as you see fit, so you can optimize them accordingly. When business is at its strongest, such as when its close to the holiday season, you simply expand your servers. Once business resumes normal operations, contract back to your original amount of servers.
Being able to expand and contract is important but there are other things a good provider should offer. Good uninterrupted bandwidth, twenty four hour access, support and security are something you must have. You can customize your service to fit your business needs. The greatest solutions come from researching to find the best providers that offer quality service at an affordable price.
Most providers give you a choice whether or not you bring in your own servers and equipment or use theirs. Either way is good but equipment can be expensive if you don't already own it and expanding is easier when you have the service do it for you. It is simply capitol preservation and ease of use that is driving the trend of flexible colocation hosting.
Businesses are constantly on the lookout for solutions that mold to their business needs. Each company has different individual specific needs that can be addressed with a different level of service. Shared rack space is an option or if you prefer, a private locked up location is also available to hold your servers and equipment.
This explanation of why colocation hosting needs to be flexible should be of some help to you as you choose which provider to go with. Make sure they offer round the clock access and support along with uninterrupted bandwidth. Don't settle for any downtime and research several service providers to get the most out of your service plan.

I'm Intrigued by the Mini Facelift. Is it Effective?
Do you need a little lift? If your face has lost some of its youthfulness, get it back with a mini facelift. This procedure is much less invasive than a traditional facelift, and provides just the right amount of lift for middle aged (or younger) patients who want to make a dramatic change. You don't need to wait for advanced aging to set in to reinvigorate your look. Ask us about the mini facelift today.
What Is the Mini Facelift?
The mini facelift—also known as an S-Lift—provides a natural looking lift to the lower third of the face and neck. It is a smaller, less invasive version of a traditional facelift. This procedure tightens skin and muscles and improves the appearance of the cheeks, chin, and neck. An S-Lift provides lasting improvement and rejuvenation. This procedure is usually performed on younger patients than those who choose the traditional facelift.
The Benefits of an S-Lift
A mini facelift has many benefits over a traditional facelift, including:
- Natural looking results
- Shorter recovery time (many return to work in just a week)
- Minimal risk of complications
- Minimal scarring
- No hair loss
- No need to wait for advanced signs of aging
- Less invasive
If you're interested in a mini-facelift, schedule a consultation. We can help you determine if you're a good candidate for this procedure. A mini-facelift can also be combined with other rejuvenation treatments, including facial and neck liposuction and skin resurfacing treatments. Discover a younger looking you!
How Long Do Results Last?
Results from a mini facelift are long lasting. Many find that a properly timed mini facelift can delay or even eliminate the need for a full facelift later on in life.
Are you ready to rejuvenate? Call today!

A job description is a snapshot of your company culture, and might make the difference between a wide pool of applicants or candidate radio-silence. Applying for job interviews is already a stressful experience for many applicants because most of them will have doubts about whether or not they'll fit into the company. A succinct and friendly job description can help as it identifies what your company is about, and what kind of people you're hoping to attract for the position.
In other words, it's better to consider recruitment as a marketing campaign. You will need to familiarise your target audience – a potential new hire – with your company brand and get them to invest in you over your competitors. This is particularly true for the modern market, where jobs are on the rise and talented people are difficult to source, which makes the recruitment process a neck and neck battle to prove that your company, and your job offering, should be selected over anything else.
Here are some of our suggestions:
Get straight to the point
'We're looking for a creative person to lead this work by providing insight-driven strategies'. The best job descriptions are those that balance giving enough detail so candidates can understand the role and what is expected of them while keeping things brief and to-the-point.
Make it personal
Replace 'the ideal candidate' with 'you'. This will create a connection with the reader, and allow them to reflect on whether or not the position sounds suitable for them. The closer someone can relate to the job descriptions, the more likely it is that you will attract the right people. Statements such as 'you are self-motivated and jump at opportunities to work on new projects' make your intentions clear.
When referring to qualifications and role requirements, it may be a good idea to use 'my qualifications include' and 'I have 3 years' experience working in a similar role'. While a small detail, it encourages candidates to put themselves in the 'ideal' candidate's shoes.
Give the job role purpose
Show candidates that they will have the chance to make an impact within the organisation or team, however small it may be. Instead of saying something like 'create yearly marketing calendar', you can write 'this is a chance to define our brand strategy and direction'. It has more 'oomph', and will inspire and excite the applying candidate.
Show your company personality
Hook candidates in by showing what is unique about your company. Add a short section called 'Why join us?' and pinpoint why a candidate would love to join your team. It may be tempting to just give the good news, but avoid sugarcoating anything: note down the challenges as well as the perks. Great candidates won't be afraid of challenges, and they will be eager to see how they can make a difference and contribute.
The effort put into the job description will reflect well on your company because it shows you care how job seekers will perceive you, and therefore will care about your employees.

Hearing God's Voice by Dianne E. Butts Go visit Archie. The thought nagged me again. Since my friend Archie's cancer advanced, I wanted to visit him. But I had a full schedule. "Lord, if this is from You, I'll go," I prayed. "But didn't You want me to do this job?" If I take time to visit Archie, I wondered, am I listening to the right voice? For me, it's a common dilemma. I hear a spiritual "voice" - a quiet whisper in my mind, a heart-felt impression - and I wonder if it's God. Could it be merely my own thoughts, or maybe Satan trying to deceive me? I hear these spiritual voices often and struggle to determine their source. I am learning that just as audible voices have unique qualities that help me recognize the speaker, so does God's voice. Constant When I first felt the inkling to write for publication, I ignored it. What could I write that anyone would want to read? But the inkling persisted. "How can I tell if this is my idea or God's?" I asked my friend Linda. "Our own desires come and go," she told me, "but God's desires for us persist." God persistently called the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 3), but Samuel didn't recognize God's voice either. When Samuel the young lad awakened to Someone calling his name, he ran to his mentor, Eli. Twice more the Lord called Samuel before Eli discerned its source and instructed him to respond to the Lord. When God called the fourth time, He really got Samuel's attention. God's persistent calling didn't let Samuel rest. Likewise, God persistently called me. When I turned on my radio and heard about an upcoming Christian writer's conference, I responded. That persistent inkling sparked a desire to write for God that, years later, continues to burn. Calm "Have you ever felt a nudge to call or visit someone?" asked Midge, a speaker at our ladles brunch. "Listen to the nudges. That's God." I've felt those nudges from God, but I've also acted on impulses only to discover they were not from God. Most impulses appear as good things God might want me to do. They often come in the form of "shoulds" and "oughts": "You should teach a Bible class.... You ought to help at the pregnancy center.... You should volunteer for Vacation Bible School." Jesus and the disciples certainly felt the pressure of such impulses. One day as Jesus taught beyond the Jordan, a message arrived from Mary and Martha: Jesus come quickly! Lazarus is sick!" "Yet ... [Jesus] stayed where He was two more days" (John 11:6). By the time He left for Bethany, Lazarus was dead (v.4). Had Jesus jumped to save Lazarus, whose voice would He have been listening to? Instead, Jesus calmly continued the work God had sent Him across the Jordan to accomplish. Then He went to Lazarus. Is that how our enemy takes advantage of notions - by: pulling us away from God's work? As I learn to distinguish between God's nudges and other impulses, I do less fruitless busywork. As I prayerfully respond to God's impressions, my efforts bear eternal fruit, and my life is calm. Convicting God constantly calls us, but Satan speaks too and often deceives the untaught. I Can distinguish between the enemy's voice and God's by considering how the voice makes me feel and where it will lead me. Satan heaps disapproval, guilt, and accusations on us until we feel fearful or want to run away from Christ. That might have been how the adulterous woman felt when the religious leaders brought her to Jesus. He ended up sending her away, free of condemnation (8:10,11). Satan's voice condemns: "You're guilty!" But as believers, we no longer stand before God condemned (Romans 8:1). When we listen to God's voice, He convicts us of our sin and leads us to Christ for forgiveness. Character-revealing My friend Sandy grew up in a home filled with shouting and anger. "For a long time it was hard for me to differentiate God's voice from familiar voices echoing from the past," she said. "Whenever I had a disagreement or was criticized, those negative voices would bombard me and linger in my head. I associated these angry 'voices' with the voice of God. "Now I know God better," she continued. "When I hear a negative voice, I'm learning to ask, 'Is this voice characteristic of the God I've come to know and love through Scripture?'" God's voice reveals His character, While He is holy (Leviticus 11:44), righteous (Psalm 11:7), and just (9:16), He is also merciful and forgiving (Daniel 9:9). He is compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness (Psalm 86:15). When the voice within me sounds unloving, impatient, or angry, when I feel no mercy or compassion, when it causes me to mistrust God or believe He will not forgive me, then the voice I am hearing is not God's. Clear Author and speaker Tricia Rhodes waited six years to hear God's voice. "After our first child, my husband and I really wanted another," she said at a conference. But the years passed without a second child. "I went to God every morning and I heard nothing. Then one morning as I filled in the blanks of a Bible study, a still, familiar voice spoke: 'Tricia, your pain is not caused by your failure to have another child, but by what you've come to believe about Me: that I'm not good or fair, that I don't love you or have your best interest at heart.' "I didn't miss His answer," Tricia said, "because after six years of waiting, I was still listening." If we are not listening, We can miss God's message or misun- derstand it. Many people could have heard God's voice when Jesus prayed, "Father, glorify your name!" John 12:28). From heaven, a voice answered,: "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again." The apostle John heard and understood the words. But he also tells us that some in the crowd thought it had thundered and that others thought an angel had spoken (v.29). The people did not recognize the voice of God. God speaks clearly. But to hear Him and to recognize His voice, we must be listening. Learning to listen Go visit Archie, that persistent voice urged again. So that afternoon, I headed over to his house. We had a wonderful visit, and I still accomplished all my work. I'm convinced the urge to visit was from the Lord. I'm so glad I listened! Step by step, the Lord is teaching me to be more like Samuel in recognizing and responding to His voice. Dianne E. Butts writes from Pueblo, CO. Scripture quotations are from the New International version. July-August 2007 "Bible Advocate" - a publication of the Church of God, Seventh Day, Denver, CO. USA ............... NOTE: I've learned over the years that to HEAR the voice of God, and not my emotions or feeling or the voice of other people that are not speaking through God's inspiration to me, I had to STUDY His WORD, reading it from Genesis to Revelation, meditating upon it, letting God's voice to me be understandable, getting to know His character and mind. Then I've had to spend MUCH TIME ALONE with God. I've had to put all other people aside, walk the wilderness (a nice park, camping trip, horse ride or whatever) - be ALONE, just God and myself. I've had to not only talk to Him, but be SILENT and let His voice speak to me. I've had to be willing to put aside whatever I needed to put aside to serve and obey Him, to admit error, to love truth and righteousness. Then He can reach me, teach me, talk to me. If you do all the above, and always be humble, pliable clay in His hands, loving Him and His word and way of life, with all your heart, mind and life, then you will recognize the voice of God. The prophets have told us that a man coming in the power of Elijah, shall come and speak the words of the Lord before His first coming and before His second coming. MOST did not know or hear the voice of God speaking through John the Baptist, before the first coming of the Lord Jesus. MOST will again not know or hear the voice of God speaking to them through the Elijah to come (to restore all things) before the Day of the Lord (Malachi 4 with Matt.17:10-13). It is possible to HEAR and to KNOW God's voice is speaking to you - Keith Hunt Entered on this Website August 2007

MF Global Holdings should hope Jon Corzine does better job as CEO than New Jersey Governor
Former New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine will really be rolling in the dough again as he has been hired of MF Global Holdings.
Corzine is the newly-hired CEO of MF Global Holdings, a broker in futures, options, and derivatives.
Hopefully Corzine runs MF Global better than the state of New Jersey, where they had a severe budget deficit and corruption ran rampant.
Some highlights from Corzine's Governorship included:
*Presiding over the 2006 New Jersey State Government Shutdown-the first in the history of New Jersey.
*Attempting to monetize the New Jersey Turnpike.
*And, who can forget the car accident he was in when his vehicle was traveling at over 90 M.P.H.
Corzine did earn several hundred million in his career as a businessman. You can't be a dummy and earn that type of money, but he sure wasn't the brightest when it came to running New Jersey.

In Dr. Montessori's Words
Three times nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, Dr. Maria Montessori was a highly prolific writer on the topic of peace and justice. Here are some quotes from some of her best-known books.
"This force that we call love is the greatest energy of the universe." —The Absorbent Mind
"…education is the best weapon for peace." —Education and Peace
"The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind." —Education and Peace
"An education capable of saving humanity is no small undertaking; it involves the spiritual development of man, the enhancement of his value as an individual, and the preparation of young people to understand the times in which they live." —Education and Peace
"Peace is a practical principle of human civilisation and social organisation that is based on the very nature of man. Peace does not enslave him; rather, it exalts him.... And because it is based on man's nature, it a constant, a universal principle that applies to all human beings. This principle must be our guide in building a science of peace and educating men for peace." —Education and Peace
True peace…suggests the triumph of justice and love among men; it reveals the existence of a better world where harmony reigns. —Education and Peace
Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.

Outdoor sports have gained popularity over the years. Many families with kids prefer investing in outdoor equipment like outdoor pool tables, table tennis lawns, ping pong tables among others that give them an opportunity to play outside. This gives the family an easy time to bond with one another not to mention the great skill and emotional development that comes with outdoor sports. Research has shown that kids who play with their parents end up being more intelligent compared to their peers who don't. We have listed amazing tips that will give you a great time outdoors.
Always Have a Schedule
Unlike what many people do, get yourself a schedule and follow it strictly. You can discuss with your family to determine the best time for everyone in the house. This ensures that you do not go for a long time without having an activity together. The beauty with planning is that you can easily get your weekly or monthly schedules in order leaving out your family time. Family time is always best when spent outside the house doing fun activities.
Get the right equipment
After enjoying playing one game for some time, you will realize that it becomes monotonous. You will need to buy new equipment every now and then to give you a choice to choose from. There are excellent buys that include; table tennis equipment, lawn tennis, soccer, bikes, among others that you may think of to help you have a variety of outdoor games.
Protect your Equipment
Most gaming equipment are expensive. You need to take care of them at all times during play time and even after the game. If you have an outdoor gaming investment, you need to protect it from all-weather damages. If you have a billiards table that you use outdoors for example, you will need to invest in the best pool table cover to keep it protected at all times. With good care you can enjoy the games you like for many years without having to replace the accessories that you bought which is a saving for you.
Always Check On New Activities
Every other day there is a new game or outdoor activity that is discovered. Keep yourself updated on all developments in the world of sports. You can do this by registering in outdoor clubs or reading online journals. These will keep you entertained at all times and it ensures that you get a new activity every once in a while.
Family gams not only get families together, they also give them an opportunity to appreciate what each and every one of them has as a gifting. It gives small children an opportunity to learn from their elders without having to freak out. You can make this a great family routine and you will be surprised at how strong your family will turn out to be. Get out of that gaming chair, stretch your body and enjoy an outdoor game with your kids!

Related provisions for SUP 8.3.6
1 - 14 of 14 items.
Under section 138A(4) of the Act, the appropriate regulator8 may not give a waiver unless it is satisfied that:88(1) compliance by the firm with the rules, or with the rules as unmodified, would be unduly burdensome, or would not achieve the purpose for which the rules were made; and(2) the waiver would not adversely affect the advancement of, in the case of the PRA, any of its objectives and, in the case of the FCA, any of its operational objectives.88
8The FCA must consult the PRA before publishing or deciding not to publish a waiver which relates to:(1) a PRA-authorised person; or(2) an authorised person who has as a member of its immediate group a PRA-authorised person;unless the waiver relates to rules made by the FCA under sections 247 or 248 of the Act.
8PRA-authorised persons should send applications for waivers or applications for variations of waivers to: (1) the FCA in respect of rules in the FCA Handbook applicable to that PRA-authorised person; and(2) the PRA in respect of rules in the PRA Handbook.
If the appropriate regulator8 believes that a particular waiver given to a firm may have relevance to other firms, it may publish general details about the possible availability of the waiver. For example, IPRU(INV) 3-80(10)G explains that a firm that wishes to use its own internal model to calculate its position risk requirement (PRR) will need to apply for a waiver of the relevant rules.8
Under section 138A(1) of the Act the appropriate regulator8 may give a waiver with the consent of a firm. This power may be used by the appropriate regulator8 in exceptional circumstances where the appropriate regulator8 considers that a waiver should apply to a number of firms (for example, where a rule unmodified may not meet the particular circumstances of a particular category of firm). In such cases the appropriate regulator8 will inform the firms concerned that the waiver
For an application for a waiver of the presumption of contravention of a binding rule, which is actionable under section 138D8 of the Act, the appropriate regulator8 would normally wish to be satisfied that the evidential rule is itself unduly burdensome or does not achieve the purpose of the rule.288
3The FCA must consult the PRA before publishing or deciding not to publish a waiver which relates to:(1) a PRA-authorised person; or(2) an authorised person who has as a member of its immediate group a PRA-authorised person;unless the waiver relates to rules made by the FCA under sections 247 or 248 of the Act.
When considering whether it is satisfied under section 138B(2)3, the appropriate regulator3 is required by section 138B(3)3 of the Act:333(1) to take into account whether the waiver relates to a rule contravention of which is actionable under section 138D3 of the Act (Actions for damages); Schedule 5 identifies such rules;3(2) to consider whether its publication would prejudice, to an unreasonable degree, the commercial interests of the firm concerned, or any other member of its
Waivers can affect the legal rights of third parties, including consumers. In the appropriate regulator's3 view it is important that the fact and effect of such waivers should be transparent. So the fact that a waiver relates to a rule that is actionable under section 138D3 of the Act (see SUP 8.6.2 G (1)) will tend to argue in favour of publication.33
If the appropriate regulator1 gives a firm a waiver, then the relevant rule no longer applies to the firm. But:1(1) if a waiver directs that a rule is to apply to a firm with modifications, then contravention of the modified rule could lead to appropriate regulator1 enforcement action and (if applicable) a right of action under section 138D1 of the Act (Actions for damages); and11(2) if a waiver is given subject to a condition, it will not apply to activities conducted in breach
Substantive changes to the rules (this would not include simple editorial changes) in the Handbook may affect existing waivers, changing their practical effect and creating a need for a change to the original waiver. The appropriate regulator1 will consult on proposed rule changes. A firm should note proposed rule changes and discuss the impact on a waiver with its appropriate1 supervisory contact.111
If a firm ceases to be a participant firm or carry out activities within one or more classes54 part way through a financial year6 of the compensation scheme:44(1) it will remain liable for any unpaid levies which the FSCS has already made on the firm; and41(2) the FSCS may make one or more levies4 upon it (which may be before or after the firm5 has ceased to be a participant firm or carry out activities within one or more classes5,4 but must be before it ceases to be an authorised

The 2019 B-Series bows are the most significant step forward in innovative design since the invention of the compound bow. Bold statement, yes…. we know! This B-Series has a bad ass look with 6 new bows in the lineup; B20, B24, B30, B34, B36 and B40. The number represents the axle to axle distance of each model. The B40 represents our first 40" axle to axle bow and it has an IBO speed of 350 FPS!
Each bow can adjust the brace height to 5, 6 or 7 inches. With other bow companies that would be 3 separate bows. Like all Gearhead bows, the B-Series will convert right to left handed and vice versa. The Gearhead Archery team continues to push forward with new models that utilize the strongest riser design in the business. The bridge-style shoot through riser is stress-free, with built-in accuracy and unparalleled compression strength. The new B-Series riser has up to 9 mounting positions for stabilizers. Put the weight exactly where you want it.
The B-Series has 10 pounds of draw weight adjustment with the new Zero Gap limb pockets. These new limb pockets secure the limb tip and precisely cradle the limbs back towards the cams. The limb pocket adjusts up and down within a tight tolerance, square pillar. This pillar of power controls the limb tips and guarantees limb alignment to the cams.
The cams on the new B Series give you the ultimate in adjustability and speed. The new RA (Rotational Adjustment) cams provide 4 inches of draw length adjustment with a pinned rotational module. Adjusting the draw length takes only minutes without the need for a bow press. The RA cams have a fully adjustable limb stop so the bow's let-off can be micro tuned up to 85%. This lets you determine exactly how much holding weight the bow has. This new cam gives Gearhead Archery plenty of speed. The B34 has an IBO speed of 360 FPS!
The Gearhead bow grip is not an integral part of the riser structure, which enables it to be interchangeable. Gearhead has developed 6 grips in the Pick a Grip system to allow the shooter to choose the best grip option for their fit and feel. Each of the new B Series comes with a Slider Grip. The B20 and B24 come with Standard Slider Grip. The B30 and B34 come with the new 1911 Slider Grip. The B36 and B40 come with the Flat Back Slider Grip.
Couple the cam adjustability with the Slider Grip and the possibilities are in your control. The new Slider Grip will allow the grip to be moved .5" forward and 1.25" back in .25" increments. This allows the adjustment of the brace height and the ability to micro tune the draw length. The Slider Grip also allows the grip to be moved .375" left or right in .125" increments to eliminate grip torque and keep the center shot aligned.
The futuristic B Series, is the most adjustable, accurate and customizable bow ever produced. Adjust the fit and feel of the bow to what works best for the archer. This B Series is a game changer for both dealers and shooters alike, 10 years ahead of its time!
Gearhead Specs Overview
B20 – IBO 335 FPS, 24.5" – 31.5" draw, mass weight 4.00 pounds
B24 – IBO 350 FPS, 25.5" – 32" draw, mass weight 4.25 pounds
B30 – IBO 350 FPS, 25.5" – 31.5" draw, mass weight 4.50 pounds
B34 – IBO 360 FPS, 26" – 32" draw, mass weight 4.75 pounds
B36 – IBO 340 FPS, 25.5" – 31.5" draw, mass weight 5.40 pounds
B40 – IBO 350 FPS, 26" – 32" draw, mass weight 5.60 pounds
Gearhead Archery was launched to create innovative archery products that are designed for extreme shooting and hunting conditions. The company is made up of avid hunters who have a background in designing highly automated robotic equipment for various industries.
Gearhead Archery's headquarters are in South Central Wisconsin. Gearhead facilities consist of 60,000 square feet of factory space with multiple departments specializing in the areas of engineering, design, fabrication, assembly and CNC machining.

This wearable for your kids will put paid to GP visits
Health alerts from the wrists of your little ones
Sticking a thermometer under your sprog's tongue might be an age-old method for discerning illness, but it's a fairly limited metric when it comes to the complexities of kids' health. Strap this Kiddo wearable (seeking Kickstarter funding, US$79, RM340) on their wrist and you'll have a bevvy of data to keep the doctor away. Eschewing frivolities such as location tracking, it's non-allergenic shell instead logs their heart rate, sleep, activity, temperature and more, relying on an algorithm to learn what's normal and ping app alerts to parents if things go sideways. There are plenty of play-focussed features to keep the wearers engaged, too.

Discount, Tax, and Tip Word Problems
Discount is the reduction in usual price of an article. The shopkeepers try to lure as many customers as possible for which they sometimes offer a certain amount of rebate or discount to the customers. When discount is offered on an article, a certain price is attached to the article, which is the marked price of the article. When the shopkeeper offers discount on this marked price, customer pays the difference between the marked price and the discount.
So, the customer pays marked price – discount.
Example: If a store offers 20% discount on a female trouser costing $40, then what would be the new cost of trouser?
Discount on trouser = 20% of $40 = × $40 = $8
So, new cost of trouser = $40 – $8 = $32
Tax is a certain percentage which is added to the customer's cost price. It may be in the form of sales tax, service tax, entertainment tax etc.
Example: If the original cost of an MP3 player is $104 and there is 4% tax on it, then what would be the total amount Richards will have to pay to the shopkeeper?
Tax on the MP3 player = 4% of $104 = × $104 = $4.16
Total amount Richards would pay = $104 + $4.16 = $108.16
Tip is a small amount of money given to someone who provided service to us, like a server or waiter in a restaurant.
Example: Stance went to a restaurant for lunch. Her bill amount was $30 and she gave 10% tip to the server. How much amount did she pay in all?
Tip given to the server = 10% of $30 = × $30 = $3
Total amount Stance paid = $30 + $3 = $33
Check Point
- The original price of a motorcycle player is $11,300. If there is 40% discount on the motorcycle, then what is its selling price after discount?
- The original price of a purse is $50. If the store offers 50% discount and levies 4% tax on it, then what is the selling price of the purse?
- Daniel went for a dinner to a restaurant with his friends. The bill for dinner was $75.00 and they left 20% tip for the waiter. What was total amount they paid for the dinner, including the tip?
- If the original price of a jacket is $350 and the shopkeeper offers 10% discount with 6% sales tax on it, then what is the selling price of the jacket?
- If the sales tax for a state is 9%, then how much tax would Stacy pay for an item that costs $475?

- $6,780

ALEJE condemns the Killing of Ethiopian Muslims
On Friday, July 13, 2012, Meles Zenawis's dictatorial regime ordered the federal police and its ready to kill Special Forces to enter Addis Ababa's Awolia Mosque and kill innocent Muslim worshipers who peacefully gathered and requested freedom of worship. Meles Zenawi's ethnic dictatorial regime has a long history of abusing, torturing and killing its own citizens. It has pitilessly killed over 200 peaceful demonstrators on the streets of Addis Ababa. But, what the regime did this past Friday was, once again, inhumane. In the Ethiopian culture, worship places are sanctuaries where mercy seekers seek refuge; but the callous regime in Addis Ababa disregarded this time honored value of the nation and turned the Holy place of the Muslim faith, the Mosques, into a war zone.
Alliance for Liberty, Equality, and Justice in Ethiopia (ALEJE) strongly condemns this barbaric act in its entirety and wants to remind the regime in Ethiopia that such atrocities are typical examples of state sponsored terrorism on the people of worship. ALEJE holds Meles Zenawi's regime accountable for all national and regional consequences that may arise as a result of this heinous crime against humanity.
In the last six months, provoked and instigated by the regime's misguided attempt to control the day to day affairs of faith based institutions, the Muslim community in Ethiopia has been peacefully demonstrating and requesting the regime to take its hands off the Muslim faith in Ethiopia. However, instead of addressing the legitimate demand of the people, the regime has chosen to use deadly force inside a Mosque.
ALEJE strongly believes that engaging the Ethiopian Muslim Community in the most civil manner and addressing their legitimate request is the only way to end the current civil unrest in the country. ALEJE also requests the Ethiopian regime to redeploy its forces from all places of worship, to immediately release the hundreds of Muslim worshipers detained last Friday and to bring to justice those who are responsible for this despicable crime.
ALEJE calls on the international donor community to condemn this barbaric act against the Ethiopian Muslims and hold Zenawi's regime accountable for it past and present crimes against humanity.

meaning of insurance
We all might have been hearing of coverage
in our everyday life; people get confused on the meaning of insurance
while some neglect it. But protection is so significant in our daily
life, whether you have a company or not.
Let first look into the full meaning of insurance: it is merely defined as a guard of resources against loss. It helps in risk management or unsure loss. An entity that gives the guarantee is known only as the insurer, insurance carrier or an underwriter, but the usually used word is an INSURER.
READ UP property-insurance/
Insurance deal involves the insured presumptuous on guaranteed and known comparatively little disadvantage as a method of paying to the insurer to get access for reimbursement toward loss. The damage can be in finance or material. It depends but it must be reducible to financial terms and usually involves something in which the insured has an insurable interest customary by ownership, possession or preexisting relationship.
read up; vehicle-insurance/
insurer charged the quantity of money to the insured for the coverage
outlined in the insurance policy is called the PREMIUM. If the insurer
notices any form of loss, he has to go to the insurance company if the
insurance policy thoroughly covers he/she and present a claim to the
insurer to process the CLAIM ADJUSTER. The insurer may hedge its own
risk by taking out what is known as REINSURANCE whereby a different
insurance company agrees to carry some of the risks, especially if the
primary insurer deems the risk too significant to move by them alone.
Let look into the origin of insurance, as we all know today of property insurance can be traced to the enormous fire of London, which in 1666 devoured new 13000 houses.
The insurance policy was
taken as early in the 18th century. Establish in London in the year 1706
by a man known as WILLIAM TALBOT and SIR THOMAS ALLEN. Then in the
behind schedule of the 19th century, accident insurance began to become
accessible. While the first company to offer the accident insurance was
the Railway Passengers Assurance Company created in the year 1848 in
England to put an end to the growing number of fatalities on the nascent
railway system.
Central beliefs of insurance companies require pooling funds from many insured entity known as an exposure to make payment for damages incurred. The insured entities are therefore secluded from risk for a free, with the fee being needy. The risk insured must meet certain uniqueness.
Insurance as a financial go-between is a commercial enterprise and a significant part of the financial services industry, but individual entities can also self-insure through saving money for possible future losses. When a company insures a single entity, there are fundamental legal requirements and regulations. Several commonly cited legal principles of insurance which includes: indemnity, benefits insurance, insurable interest, utmost good faith, contribution, proximate cause, and mitigation.
I will still write about these legal principles. Also, the risk which can be insured by private companies typically shares seven ordinary distinctiveness which includes: a large number of similar exposure units, definite loss, accidental loss, significant loss, affordable premium, calculable loss, limited risk of disastrously substantial losses. Though I will soon write in details of all the insurability.
READ UP; the-meaning-of-marine-insurance/
We have many methods of applying for insurance but am going to list out the most important ones for now. They are:
Co-insurance; it merely means risk been shared by two or more insurers.
2. Dual-insurance; it is having two or more policies with many coverages of a threat both the person policies would not pay discretely
3. Self-insurance; it means where risk is not transferred to insurance companies and solely sustain by the entities or individuals themselves.
4. Reinsurance; situations when the insurer passes some parts of or all risks to another insurer, called the reinsurer.

Starring: Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd
The Movie:
When school teacher Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) decides he wants to write a novel and quit teaching, he takes a job as a live-in winter caretaker of a isolated hotel in the Rocky Mountains. Soon upon arrival his son, Danny (Danny Lloyd) starts seeing disturbing visions of the hotel's past. While burying himself in his writing, Jack also falls into a deep form of insanity caused by cabin fever and sightings of the hotel's ghosts. After being convinced by the waiter's ghost that he needs to "fix" his family, the only thing that can save Danny and his mother, is "the shining."
This film adaptation of Stephen King's novel has seriously scared the crap out of me since the first time I watched it. The story was written well and the movie is not a disappointment. Stanley Kubrick is a recognizable name in film history for a few gems such as "Full Metal Jacket," "A Clockwork Orange," and "2001: A Space Odyssey". The Shining isn't any different, his work has always had a sense of seriousness with the long lengths.
"What Is The Shining?" It's a telepathic sixth sense that Danny Torrance (Danny Lloyd) in the movie had, which allowed him to see and hear from ghosts from the hotel's past. It's this gift that perhaps saved him and his mother when his father Jack is convinced he must fix his wife and child from taking over, during his mental breakdown resulting from cabin fever. Being stuck indoors all winter will do this to someone, it's not too surprising in life. It's been proven that many people in the world experience similar symptoms, wanting to bring harm to themselves or someone else.

The #1 Website Success Factor
This is undoubtedly the most overlooked, unglamorous, and least liked aspect of a successful website. And it's essential and can multiply the effectiveness of ALL of your other advertising and marketing, including word of mouth… and it can NOT be done by your webmaster, graphic artist or programmer. What am I talking about?
Crafting your message.
The process of creating content (written or video) that clearly, and in an engaging, compelling way, lets your visitors know what you provide, what differentiates you from their other options and why they should care.
Here's how Trader Joe's differentiates their cherries from those of their competitors…
We harvest fresh, tree-ripened Bing Cherries grown in California and the Pacific Northwest. At the absolute peak of sweet maturity, the fruits are too fragile to be shipped fresh to market, so they are washed, stemmed and air dried. Before being packaged, the soft, moist cherries are pitted; so all that remains is the sweet flesh, concentrated with natural cherry flavor. There is absolutely nothing else added – no sweeteners, no preservatives, no artificial colors – nothing. Deep red, almost black, and juicy, our Unsweetened, Unsulfured Dried Bing Cherries are delicious for snacking, trek mix making and baking. Each eight ounce bag (equivalent to about 2.5 pounds of fresh cherries) is just $4.99, a real "life is just a bowl of cherries" kind of price.
Look at the detail (tree-ripened), the adjectives (absolute peak of sweet maturity) and the benefits (no preservatives, no artificial flavors).
How about this…
James Beard made garlic "gourmet" when he published a classic Provençal recipe for cooking chicken with 40 cloves of garlic. Inspired by this transformational recipe, we set out to create our very own gourmet garlic sauce. Rather than focus on the number, we focused on the flavor, leveraging many garlic cloves in all of their finest forms: fresh chopped garlic, garlic purée, roasted garlic and garlic powder. Mixed together with Chablis, chicken stock, cream, brandy and butter, our Many Clove Garlic Sauce boasts full flavor with great depth, complexity and mild pungency. Like the original recipe upon which it was modeled, this sauce is certain to inspire gastronomic garlic delight, especially at our great price of $2.99for an 18 ounce jar.
The story sells!
The concept here is to tell a story, a story that engages the reader while educating them about you, or your product or service, and at the same time demonstrate the value in your offer.
Today ALL marketing, (social, mobile, SEO, word of mouth, etc.) results in curious people checking out what you do by visiting your website. You then have between 5 to 10 seconds to engage them… or they "bounce", that is they have seen enough and they leave your website- 5 to 10 SECONDS!!!
The success of ALL of your advertising and marketing is helped, or hurt, in a matter of seconds by how well your message is crafted.
If you feel that you could use some help crafting your message contact me. The initial call is FREE… 541-482-4840

Turning a Crape Myrtle Bush Into a Tree
I have a Tonto crape myrtle bush/tree. Right now it looks more like a bush than a tree. The bush/tree is about 2 feet high with a lot of branches and leaves. My question is how can I turn my crape myrtle into a tree? Also, how can I add more trunks to my crape myrtle? Right now it just has two (the trunks are more like stems)?

If I have to marry a Princess I've never met, let's have a little fun first.
I want to know what I'm dealing with.
It was only supposed to be an afternoon in disguise, but then a snowstorm hits and everything changes.
Now I'm spending the night in a cabin with the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
A woman who has secret fantasies … ones I can fulfill … so long as she thinks I'm not royalty.
Turns out, neither of us are what we seem.
People say I'm innocent, naive.
But that's just because I believe in true love and happily-ever-after's.
This arranged marriage dashes those dreams.
But then the Prince's bodyguard with deep blue eyes, broad shoulders, and a protective hand shows up.
Maybe I can still have what I've always wanted—a man who sweeps me off my feet.
I have one night to bring my fantasy to life.
My darling readers,
This is the final Mountain Prince book and is unabashedly my favorite. Grab a copy, snuggle up in a faux fur blanket, and pretend Prince Lucas is all yours. I bet he'll even let you polish his crown.
xo, frankie
Crowned by the Mountain Prince was my favorite of Frankie Love's Mountain Prince trilogy. Mainly because Prince Lucas is my favorite Prince, but also because we are given closure regarding all 3 Princesses through the Epilogue. I don't want to give any spoilers, but Prince Lucas is everything I imagine when I think of a King. He is humble, polished, but not afraid to get his hands dirty and work. Prince Lucas is also sexy and romantic. And did I say sexy? Oh well, Prince Lucas is so sexy it needs to be said twice

(The difference between tax gain/loss and total return on a mutual fund.)
Have you ever looked at your account online and thought "This fund hasn't done anything"? As an advisor, I hear this compliaint often. Sometimes (unfortunately) one particular investment has not provided return. But most often the fund has produced return and the problem is looking at incomplete information. Here is what usually happens…
You log into your brokerage account to check on how your investments are doing, so you head over to the unrealized gain/loss page. You spot ABC Bond Fund that you invested $10,000 in five years ago. Today the value of the fund is $9,900 and there is a big, red ($100) in the gain/loss column next to it. You think "how could I have lost money on a bond fund over the past five years?"
The answer is that you probably didn't lose money, you are only looking at half of your total return equation. What you see on the gain/loss page is a calculation of the change in price. It is your appreciation in value, or the number you would put on your tax return as a capital gain (or loss). This is not your total return. You have also received income from that fund over the past five years. Income is reported on a 1099 to you every year and you report it with interest and dividends on your tax return. To calculate your total return in a fund, you have to add appreciation and income.
Price Appreciation + Income = Total Return
Why don't you get any appreciation in the fund? For an investment like a bond fund, your expectation should be that most or all of the return will come in the form of income and not increase in price, just like on a bond. Below is an example of how it works.
- ABC is priced at $100 at the beginning of the month
- During the month, ABC accumulates $1 of income (per share)
- The price of ABC increases as income accumulates to $101 at the end of the month
- ABC pays you $1 cash at the end of the month
- After the income is paid out, the price of ABC goes back to $100
$0 Appreciation + $1 Income = $1 Total Return
What if you are automatically reinvesting income, shouldn't you see appreciation then? Yes and no…here is what happens when you reinvest.
- You receive $1 of income
- Your broker automatically buys $1 of ABC at the post-payout price of $100
- You now own 1.01 shares of ABC at $100 per share → $101 value
Your total value in the fund has gone up from $100 to $101. If you were to compare what you originally invested in the fund to the value in the fund today, you can easily see your total return. But since you bought all shares (including the fractional share) for $100 per share, your cost basis is still $100, and your gain/loss is still zero. You will still receive a 1099 reporting $1 income to you at the end of the year. The formula is still $0 appreciation + $1 income = $1 Total Return.
Where do you find the total return for a fund? Now that you know the difference in terminology, look for the words 'total return', 'annualized return', or just 'return' and stay away from price charts, historical price spreadsheets, and gain/loss. A price chart only shows change appreciation and not total return. Also don't use the "SEC yield" of a fund. That is a rate of income that you could receive in the future, it is not a historic return. For your specific personal return in a fund, you advisor will provide this information on your quarterly reports or by request between quarters.
– Sara L. Seely, CFA

Are the forums broken or is no one monitoring old threads?
This post was left open and hanging on December 30, 2011
I've posted back twice and also E-mailed support directly.
No reply on either front.
I need a solution other than simply having to delete my WordPress installation and start over without these products ( which is where I am at by now ).
I understand there was a holiday and that there might even be a backlog as a result.
But there is nothing stopping you from acknowledging my inquires so that I know your still out there.

Bypass Tolls With National Car Rental
Stopping at tolls is a hassle most of us simply accept – especially when we are abroad and can't have an automated pass for the toll system in the country we're visiting.
National Car Rental has decided that isn't good enough for its customers. According to Greg Stubblefield, President of National Car Rental, "our customers want to get on the road and to their destination quickly and safely. We know from listening to our customers that they don't like fumbling for loose change and waiting in line at toll booths."
To address this issue, National has introduced the Toll Pass system in the USA. Initially being piloted at Newark Liberty International Airport, Toll Pass uses the established E-ZPass automated toll payment system. Customers will pay an additional fee to use Toll Pass and will then be billed for all the tolls they incur after the car rental has been completed.
The scheme will shortly be expanded to National's sister company Alamo and will be expanded to other states including Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia over the coming months.

Update on Liturgical Year Resources
When posting about my new work station some weeks ago, I mentioned some online resourses I had printed out years ago.
Kim at Life in the Little Nest found some of the links. I did tel lher I would follow up my own links when I could so here they are Kim. They may not be exactly where I got them but are able to be printed out for anyone interested.

A new one I found while searching The Christmas Spirit
Also this General Site for SO MANY different areas Faith and Family Living..... Catholic Books on the Internet.
These are all books I have and have found very useful in the years I have had them.
I know that for many that having a bound book is much better than printed out copies, but when budgets are tight and this is all you can have I say "that's fine by me".
I hope this information is useful to some people out there.

Militias Rally, But Suspected Deadbeat Dad Surrenders
Tue., Feb. 27, 1996
A doctor wanted on deadbeat-dad charges surrendered Monday after a six-day standoff during which he rallied right-wing militia members to his home.
Lynn Truman Crawford, 42, was taken to Shreveport, La., for a hearing on charges of failing to pay $70,000 in child support since 1985 in Missouri.
The standoff began last Wednesday when federal agents and sheriff's deputies went to arrest Crawford at his mother's house. Crawford refused to recognize the agents' authority.
Authorities forced open a door to send in a dog, but Crawford's dog attacked the police canine and a deputy, the FBI said. The deputy shot Crawford's dog to death, the FBI said.
Crawford was seen with a long weapon, the FBI said. It said attempts to negotiate with Crawford "were met with exclamations of antigovernment sentiment and his refusal to recognize the authority of the U.S. government."
On Monday, several media organizations were contacted by militia groups which said their members had gone to Coushatta to observe the standoff. About a dozen militia members were on hand from Texas, Alabama and Missouri.
Crawford said that he is not affiliated with any militia but that he had contacted militia members out of fear he would be executed by FBI and state agents.
"I am very pro-government," he said. "But I want officers, agents, officials, employees and instrumentalities of the federal government to obey their own laws."
