Sport: Strongman Competitor
2013 National Champion, Women's Lightweight Division
Tell me a bit about your athletic background and how you got started in strongman.
I've been physically active ever since I can remember. I began with dance when I was five years old, and I continued with it through college. Along the way, I played every sport imaginable. I've always just wanted to move. In college, I was captain of the swim team. This was when I was introduced to the weight room as part of our team training. That was where it all started. I became fascinated with being strong – as strong as possible.
I soon discovered that lifting heavy weights was causing my body to change in a very positive way. I started to have that "toned" look that everyone was asking for — the look that I had never been able to achieve through cardiovascular exercise alone. In 2006, I began training with Rob Orlando, currently of Hybrid Athletics and CrossFit Strongman. At the time, he was competing in traditional Strongman. He told me, "You're strong for a girl. You should try this." Four months later, I did my first contest.
What are your best and worst lifts?
My best and favorite competition lift is the log press at 180lbs. My best gym lift is the front squat. I recently hit 250lbs at it. My worst lift is the deadlift. I haven't been able to get comfortable with it, yet. An old hamstring injury has made it my weak spot, but I've improved with the help of ART. I was elated to pull 300lbs for a double.
What is the biggest obstacle you've had to overcome in your lifting?
One of the biggest challenges I've had to overcome in my lifting happened in 2012. Six weeks before my first Nationals, I had a routine medical procedure done, after which I was instructed to take two full weeks off from lifting. As if I wasn't already nervous about going to Nationals, now I had to miss two weeks of training! After my two-week rest, I was right back at it, but after another week, I found myself back at the doctor's office. I had to have another procedure done and had to take another two weeks off from lifting. That left me no more time to train. I considered pulling out of the contest having hardly trained in these 6 weeks leading up to the contest, but I went and gave it my best shot. Even though I zeroed in two events, I placed third overall, and I won both pressing events!
How does kettlebell training compliment strongwoman?
Kettlebells are great tools to complement Strongman training. What I love about them is that you can get a short but kick-ass conditioning workout, as well as assistance work for your whole posterior chain. The kettlebell swing, in particular, gives you lots of bang for your buck. For a movement that's done in place, it really does a lot, and you don't need to do it for very long. The kettlebell snatch is also a great movement to build stamina, shoulder stability, and explosiveness.
Do you have a training partner?
For the most part, I've had to train by myself, but, I motivate myself by listening to my favorite songs on my iPod and by focusing on the task at hand and getting it done. Sometimes, I have the privilege of training with my boyfriend and coach, Mike Mastell. It's great to have him around to watch my form and make any needed adjustments. He's got a keen eye for small details and can tell if my foot position is off by one centimeter, or if I'm wearing the wrong shirt!
Who are your biggest inspirations in the sport?
Kristyn Whisman and Kristin Rhodes are my biggest inspirations. They each have been involved in the sport for a long time, and have won multiple National Championships, even while being busy moms with full-time jobs.
Any lucky charms/traditions/rituals?
My only contest ritual actually happens after the contest. I always have a pizza! It's my favorite food in the whole wide world and my favorite way to celebrate a competition.
What was your most exciting competition? Why?
My most exciting competition was 2013 Nationals. I felt more prepared to compete than I ever had before, physically and mentally. I wasn't too nervous, because I knew that I had done all I could to prepare. That left a lot of room for me instead to feel mostly excitement and eagerness. I was looking forward to seeing all the people I had met at Nats the previous year, and I was very excited to meet people I had only known from Facebook.
Winning Nationals in 2013, it was great to bring the title home to my gym members, but it's funny — the best part wasn't the actual winning. The last event of the competition was the Stone Carry and Load. We were to carry and load three stones – 150lbs, 180lbs, 200lbs. Before then, I couldn't even crack a 200lb stone off the ground. That day, I was able to pick up that 200lb stone, carry it, and load it over the bar. I screamed with joy when that thing went over the bar. I was ecstatic that I hit a PR. At that point, I didn't even know that I had won.
This year, I won't be going to Nationals. Instead, I'll be at home training. I'm going to bump myself up to the Middle Weight class!
Is it hard competing at the same venues as Mike?
Participating with Mike in the same competitions can be tricky. If we have events at or close to the same time, we can end up missing each other's turns. It can also be hard if I need him as a coach — to ask him a question or ask for his advice — but he's not around because he's getting ready for his own event.
What is the best advice you could give to a beginner? What is the most valuable thing you've learned from competing?
The best advice I have for a beginner is to follow a strength-training program created by a reputable coach and to GET STRONG. You don't get good at Strongman by doing events. You have to be strong. Work on your squats, front squats, overhead press, and deadlifts.
The most valuable thing I've learned is how to focus on my own process and not worry about results or what anyone else is doing. I can't control what anyone else does. I can only control what I do — how hard I train and how smart I train.
What is the biggest nutrition myth you encounter women believing?
The most popular nutrition myth I hear from women is: "Carbs will make me fat!" Well, it depends. Too many carbs can make you fat. Too much protein can make you fat. Too much broccoli can make you fat! The point is that too many calories can make you fat. Especially for active people, carbs are an essential part of a healthy and productive diet. The key is to time them correctly. For example, most carbs should be eaten around your workout session and can include white potatoes or white rice. "White" carbs get a bad rap and are often overlooked for sweet potatoes or brown rice, so clients are pleasantly surprised when I prescribe them these foods.
During competitions, what do you have to have with you?
I see a lot of athletes come to competitions with bags full of junk – candy, cookies, chips, etc. You won't find any of that in my bag. I usually pack a few peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, trail mix, glucose tabs, granola bars, and a gallon of water. These are easy, quick foods that I can pop in my mouth between events that aren't complete junk.
What is your favorite part about owning a gym?
My favorite part of owning a gym is that I get to set rules that make sense. I've worked at many different gyms in the past where I was stifled by such rules as "No Chalk" and "No Deadlifting." I would get in trouble all the time for having my clients do basic movements that the conventional fitness industry claimed to be "dangerous." Now at my gym, I encourage the use of chalk and grunting, and deadlifting is required in our routines.
What are the downsides?
There are a few downsides to owning a gym. I have to cover the 5:15am classes if a trainer goes on vacation, and I am NOT a morning person! My schedule doesn't always go as planned. Things come up, and I may have to miss a meal or a workout. It's funny – sometimes people say, "I'm so jealous of your job. You get to work out all day," or, "You get to hang out in a gym all day long." Not even close! There are many hats I have to wear that keep me very busy: trainer, manager, accountant, marketer, membership consultant, janitor, just to name a few.
Do you find it hard training at your own facility?
I usually train at my own gym. I have the best equipment and access to one of the most highly sought-after coaches in the country. But sometimes, I need to get out for a change of scenery or so that I'm not tempted to sit down at the computer or answer the phone. Every once in a while, I'll go to a local gym where I can I hop on an elliptical for a little while and not have to think too much.
Can you tell us a little bit about Battle of the Belles?
The first Battle of the Belles was held in October 2010. I decided to give my members a little taste of Strongman, so that they could experience for themselves what I do. We had 10 girls and five spectators. It was cute. The next year, we had 10 again, but the crowd was a little bigger, maybe 10. The third year, 15 girls participated. Last year was the first year the event was sanctioned by NAS and was open to non-members of Punch. We had 40 entries, and a couple of hundred people came to watch. It was awesome! This year, the contest will be held on Sunday, October 19th. We already had 70 entries within the first week of registration. This is the largest all-women's Strongman contest there is, and I'm so proud to be a part of it.
100% of the proceeds from Battle of the Belles have always gone to The Bennett Cancer Center of Stamford. It provides breast cancer care to women who can't afford treatment, and it has taken care of many people at Punch we know personally. We wanted to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month in a unique way, and putting on a women's-only strength competition seemed to be very fitting.
What is the hardest thing about being a promoter? What is the most rewarding?
The hardest thing about being a contest promoter is having to choose events that are fun and exciting but also efficient and not time-consuming, especially with 70 competitors! Our events are easy to set up, easy to run, don't take a long time, but are also crowd-pleasing.
There are many rewarding things about being a promoter. First off, donating money to a great cause. Second, helping to grow the sport of Strongman, especially for women. When I first started out in Strongman, there were only three or four women competing at a time in contests. Today, there are dozens! Third, providing an opportunity for people to participate in something that they never even dreamed of. Watching them achieve PR's and watching their friends and family be in awe of them. he list goes on and on.
What are your future plans in the sport?
My plan for the future is to continue to train and get stronger. My next competition will be the Couples Contest at Lightning Fitness on December 6th, where I'll be paired up with Lightweight Pro, Rob Kearney. We'll be competing in the Heavyweight class. If I qualify for Nationals, I'll begin my preparation after that. Another goal of mine is to qualify for The Arnold for the third time and make it to the main stage.
Anyone you'd like to thank? Anything else you'd like to add?
I'm surrounded by all the right people. I have tremendous support – my mom and brother who also compete in Strongman, Mike, my close friends, and my gym members.
When asked why I train and compete, my answer is to inspire others: from beginners struggling to get healthy, to advanced athletes who want to do more, to people on the outside watching and wondering what they're capable of. If I can affect what others try to do and accomplish, than all my efforts are worthwhile.
Thank you so much to Stef for her time, and for kicking off our interview series! We look forward to bringing your more interviews from other great women in the strength community!

Communicative Leadership
If you have not read "Four Lessons in Adaptive Leadership" in the November Harvard Business Review, I highly recommend it. It was written by Michael Useem, professor of management and director of the Center for Leadership and Change Management at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. There are many lessons to be learned from the article that are reminders on how leadership drives meaning and in turn, purposeful reputation.
One of his lessons is about creating a link with the people you oversee or work with. Building a positive company reputation is often as simple as thoughtful communications from the top. It may be just a glance, a handshake or asking someone what they are doing over the holidays. Useem wrote about an incident when the U.S. Joint Chief of Staff visited his business classroom that is a good reminder of how the most ordinary gesture can communicate the extraordinary moment:
It is 10 minutes before class time, and many of the 65 first-year students are taking their assigned seats in a tiered classroom. The general strides into the room—four stars on his epaulets and a half-dozen staffers and security agents close behind. He walks straight to the first row and introduces himself to the nearest student. He shakes hands, exchanges a few personal words, and then moves on to the next student.
Making a personal connection from the top can have a tremendous impact on company or employer reputation. It forges a connection that transcends the everyday rapid fire activity and isolation of working behind a computer that many experience.
Useem's example has special resonance. When I wrote my first book, CEO Capital, I used many examples of how CEOs build reputation. I used an example of symbolic CEO leadership that I had heard about upon joining my former agency. I had been told that on our CEO's first day at work at the agency, he (Chris Komisarjevsky) shook hands with every single employee starting in the mailroom and working his way up to the 13th floor where senior management sat. When people wanted to explain to me what kind of company I was joining, they always used this example as a demonstration of the kind of personal leadership that I would witness from the top. It certainly reminds me of Useem's classroom example.
As the year ends, I wonder how CEOs can more effectively build workplace reputations through communications, both tangible and intangible. It is important to figure out what really counts and will make the difference in keeping your best employees and getting them to go that extra mile.

SOTY 2018: Creativity and curiosity are essential qualities for the next generation of leaders
By Wong Tsui-kai
Student of the Year finalists were invited to listen to South China Morning Post CEO Gary Liu, and Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, Hong Kong Jockey Club CEO, speak at CEO Talks. The two leaders shared their experiences at the event with this new generation of future leaders, and discussed how important creativity is to good leadership in a fast-changing world.
Liu and Engelbrecht-Bresges both talked about some of the challenges they had to overcome as bosses of large organisations, and how changing circumstances in society forced their companies to adapt.
Liu in particular stressed how quickly the world will change for the finalists. "The world you guys are going to end up in when you start to lead is already going to be very different from the world we live in at 2019," he said, "because the world we're living in, where technology is the basis of everything, means we are discovering new problems every single day. And our job as leaders is to solve new problems every single day."
As the Jockey Club's top manager since 2007, Engelbrecht-Bresges describes the length of his term as "very unusual".
"If you look at the normal lifespan of a CEO in a listed company now, it's around three to four years." But Engelbrecht-Bresges thinks his company has kept him on so long because he has been constantly reinventing himself. "This is what I've done for all my work. I always challenge and question myself."
Two qualities that Liu believes are essential to being a successful leader are creativity and curiosity. He tells students that creativity isn't always a natural talent, it's a skill that can be trained. "You don't have to be born with it. Some people might start off with some, but it is absolutely something you can develop."
He continued by saying this is where curiosity comes into play. "For you to develop as a creative leader, the most important thing you should be reaching for is curiosity." To be curious requires discipline and effort says Liu, comparing it to studying for school, practising an instrument, or training for a sport.
"You have to carve out time every day. It's a discipline to put yourself in a situation where you are looking for new things and experiences." He went on to say it's essential to spend time thinking about the things one has learned to allow them to become new ideas.
A good rule to help you stay curious is the "I don't know" rule, says Liu. "Never be afraid to say 'I don't know'," he said, adding that the second part of that rule is to "Never say 'I don't know' to the same question twice."
One of Engelbrecht-Bresges' parting messages to the students was to not be afraid of failing. "What you have to learn is how not to be successful, especially for brilliant students," he said.
"In the very high pressure environment of Hong Kong schools, where everything is result-driven, this is a significant challenge. So don't be afraid. Sometimes not winning is part of your development and makes you a better person and a better leader."
The Student of the Year Awards competition is organised by South China Morning Post and Young Post, and sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club. The award ceremony will be held on May 25.

Oh, more golden makeup. It will never grow tiring. It's a flattering shade for most folks and that is why it pops up for every season. Benefit has released its limited edition 24K Sexy set and it retails for $32. it has a 24K Sexy Gold Lipstick, 24K Nugget Shimmering Loose Powder and a gold logo makeup bag. I mean a clutch, not a makeup bag. Tacky!
I can't find this lipstick on Benefit's website. I really like the product. It is a pure super shimmery warm gold. It looks great alone or layered over any lipstick shade. I love it. I have a thing for gilded lips. The loose powder looks great worn on the face as a highlighter, the lips, and on eyes. I have other products just like it but I do see myself using this. The "clutch" I could live without. Give me another cosmetic item please. I'm not a bag person. Especially when you try to label it something glamorous. It's a bag. That's it. This limited edition set is available at Sephora.

5 Tips to get Your HVAC System Ready for the Cooler Months
Cold weather can take a serious toll on HVAC systems. Before the chills set in you ought to make sure your heating system is up to the challenge keeping you warm all winter long. There are a few routine maintenance services you can complete, as well as some precautionary steps to ensure your house is thoroughly heated. While some of these things can be completed in the DIY sense, you'll likely want to hire a professional HVAC technician to help with the more complicated items on this list.
Replace the Filter
Arguably the most important thing you can do to keep your HVAC system blowing breathable, heated air all winter long is to ensure that the air filter is clean. Filters generally need to be replaced every 3 months as is, so this is often something a homeowner can do on their own, but be sure you use the proper filter for your system.
Blower Motor Service
You will want to ensure the blower motor is in good shape before the cold fronts hit. If capable, check the blower belt for cracks or other wear and tear. Next you will want to be sure the blower is properly lubricated by adding a dab of oil to it per the instructions in the owner's manual. If this service is out of your wheelhouse don't hesitate to contact a professional HVAC service company.
Check the Exhaust System
HVAC motors, just like cars, create hazardous exhaust fumes as they operate. Be sure the exhaust system is properly sealed so that the carbon monoxide can safely exit your home. To be extra safe ensure your house is equipped with a carbon monoxide detector, as this gas has no smell or color, but is extremely poisonous.
Clear the Vents
Be sure all the vents in your home are clear and that air can flow through them with ease. If you find a vent that is not letting air pass through call an expert HVAC technician to diagnose and repair the problem.
Fire-Proof Areas
Finally, before you start blasting heat make sure there is nothing flammable within the vicinity of your furnace or any vents in which the hot air comes out of.
These steps will help keep your house properly heated all fall and winter long. Should you have any questions or need assistance with HVAC maintenance in Bryan or College Station, TX, or the surrounding communities, contact R. M. Mullinix. Our expert commercial and residential HVAC technicians will make sure you'll stay warm all winter.

Over the last few years, I've found a couple of go-to links that I just love and love to share when it comes to Thanksgiving prep.
Are you brining and cooking your own turkey this year? Look no further than The Pioneer Woman's tried-and-true brine and turkey recipes:
Suggested schedule for turkey:
Turkey (brined and cooked at home)
Thaw Sat/Sun in fridge, brine Mon/Tue/Wed, cook it depending on eat time/weight of turkey (see Pioneer Woman's recipe for turkey, you'll understand what I mean)- basic rule of thumb- 1 lb/turkey per person, 1.5-2 lb turkey/person for leftovers
I found this darling beauty two years ago when our family was still extremely limited and didn't touch any dairy. We still use it as our go-to eggnog recipe as it's super-easy, really tasty and it's CLEAN. No added preservatives, processed anything. Make it fresh and double the recipe- it goes fast when we make it!
I hope you'll check these out! They're a favorite in our house!
Happy Thanksgiving,

Letting a property – on the face of it, should be fairly simple, right?
You buy a property – a tenant moves in, you collect the rent each month, maybe have to make a few repairs now and again, and Bob's your uncle, a nice steady income each month.
BUT, it's only when you embark on the landlord journey that you realise just how complicated it can actually be, and how many more things you have to consider.
For example, did you know that your record keeping is of paramount importance? If you can't demonstrate to HMRC that you've dotted the 'I's and crossed the 't's when it comes to keeping invoices and receipts, then you could be fined up to 100% of the tax that HMRC deem they could have lost, and a possible further fine of up to £3,000 if your records don't support the accompanying tax return.
Not looking so easy now…
But that's just the beginning.
Tax changes and other rules and regulations mean that being a landlord is actually quite hard work, and you need to ensure you are on top of your game keeping ahead of all the requirements, so you don't fall foul and find yourself facing a fine.
We understand, we know what we need to do our end to ensure as a landlord you are compliant, so can imagine that it must be confusing for you too.
So…ta-dah! We've only gone and produced a guide detailing all you need to know, just refer to this, and you should have a pretty good understanding of what you need to do, why and when.
In it, we'll give you the lowdown on what you need to know about repairs, selling a property you have been renting out, mortgage interest relief, holiday lettings… the list goes on.
And we've also helpfully added some handy tips and traps – for example – did you know that…
Married couples or civil partners can transfer ownership of a property between them to create a more tax efficient outcome without liability of any Capital Gains Tax.
Letting of holiday accommodation is NOT VAT exempt and if you are VAT registered you should charge VAT.
Now all of this information is bang up to date, you won't find anything that is as finger on the pulse. So what do you need to do to get your mitts on this leaflet?
Well, you can download it from our website here or if you are lucky enough to meet us on your networking rounds, then Ray will probably have a couple to share, failing that, you can get in touch and ask us for one, we're happy to send one out to you!
Seriously, this guide is designed to give you a good oversight on your obligations as a landlord in terms of the records you need to keep and what you need to know for HMRC purposes, but this isn't intended to be a be-all and end-all. We recommend you get in touch so that we can advise you on an individual basis – your circumstances may mean that one rule applies to you and another doesn't, so to avoid getting it wrong, then give us a shout.

While it has been a blast watching Earthquake Lights perform the songs in their previous clips, we're now in for a more narrative-minded treat. The latest music video from the New York band was directed by the prolific Minu Park and is a saunter through forested light — both of the day and the evening.
In "Moonlight", the mystery is not only in the complex chord progressions and jazzy influences, but also in the tale weaved of two sisters lured into the forest: one by a mysterious light that draws her to water's edge, and the other in enchanted pursuit.
The track begins with vocals, a grooving piano line, and a touch of drums, but before long the composition swells with enough layers to have you feeling like you, too, are wandering a dense wood. Cinematic bursts of strings — recorded at Abbey Road Studios — punctuate the track and knock the wind from your lungs, while Myles Rodenhouse sings high and smooth over it all. Comforting in the steadiness, but unpredictable in the swoops of melody. The tracks takes every risk and each impulse pays off.
"Moonlight" comes off the band's upcoming debut full-length record, Distress Signals. You can find more New Sick Music coverage here. To keep up with Earthquake Lights while we await the release, you can find them on their website, Facebook page, and on Bandcamp. You can also follow the band on Twitter.

The Mae Bachur Animal Shelter takes in hundreds of animals each year. Each of these animals needs food and shelter while they await the next stage of their lives: adoption. The staff at the shelter works diligently to match each animals with a suitable home. Much of that work is done with the animals themselves, including teaching basic manners, housebreaking, and socialization.
The shelter also works to ensure prospective adoptive families are a good fit for the animals they want to adopt. All adopters must complete an application and provide two personal references. Typically, the full adoption process takes two to three days to complete.
Adoption fees for dogs and cats include:
- Spay/Neuter
- Vaccinations while in shelter
- Deworming
- Vet checkup while in shelter
- Micro-chipping
If you are interested in adopting an animal from Humane Society Yukon, please download, print, complete, and return an application for the type of animal you are interested in adopting.

Marine Fish Issues: When It's Best to Leave Well Enough Alone
March 18, 2015 by 4 Comments
In most cases, issues affecting marine fish—diseases, behavioral issues, compatibility concerns, etc.—should be addressed and rectified as quickly as possible, lest small problems transform into much bigger ones. But there are some circumstances in which the best course of action is to take no action at all—or at least take a wait-and-see approach. Here are … [Read More]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Lipscomb women's tennis team swept both matches this weekend.
Saturday morning the Lady Bisons beat Jacksonville State 4-1 at the Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center. Lipscomb is 10-3. Jacksonville State, from the Ohio Valley Conference, is 3-12.
Friday Lipscomb beat Evansville 5-2.
"We were happy to be able to play outdoor at home," Lipscomb coach Jamie Aid said. "These were our first matches outside at home this season due to weather.
"Our girls came out early Saturday morning and quickly clinched the match against Jacksonville. I thought our attitude and effort was very good."
The Lady Bisons start Atlantic Sun play this week with Florida Gulf Coast visiting Thursday at 10 a.m.
Friday Lipscomb goes out of conference to face Morehead at home at 4 p.m.
"We have three very good teams at the front of our conference schedule with FGCU, UNF and Stetson," Aid said. "After FGCU the next week we play on the road at North Florida and Stetson.
"To go 2-0 on our courts this weekend gave our girls confidence moving into FGCU. We have had the best non- conference record in program history. I think we have great momentum moving into the conference schedule."

IT Network Technology Assessments & Reasons You Should Have Them
6/24/15 9:38 AM iCorps Technologies IT Consulting, Cybersecurity
When it comes to your IT network, it is easy to adopt a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude. If your network is performing with limited interruption, then why create headaches that don't exist, right? That logic might make sense if you were thinking short-term about your business. But in working with hundreds of SMBs across the Northeast, we know that long-term thinking and planning is a must when it comes to creating a symbiotic relationship between technology and business that will ultimately drive your company forward.
The truth is any changes made to your technology environment can have a more positive impact, save you money, and enhance your business when you know the ins-and-outs of your IT operations and processes. From fixing a system issue to implementing new technologies, you can optimize the impact of any changes made to your IT network by leveraging a comprehensive IT technology assessment.
Here are 4 reasons why you should have an IT technology assessment conducted on your business's IT infrastructure:
1) You Get To Know Your IT Operations
An effective IT technology assessment uses a combination of industry-leading tools, the diverse skillset of a qualified IT consultant and physical hardware inspections to build a detailed deliverable of the current state of your IT network. After taking inventory of the physical system's design, the experienced IT consultant then takes a look at technology investments and conducts interviews with business stakeholders to get a full understanding of your company's IT operations and business infrastructure. This roadmap can identify areas that may need improvement, create suggestions for optimized performance, and provide the groundwork for future IT projects.
2) IT Details How Your Technology Supports Your Business Goals
The success of your business goals depends on the performance of your business operations. Your company's technology should work to streamline operations and contribute to the success of your business goals. An IT network assessment provides a complete, 360-degree view of the IT environment ensuring that the technology in use is 1) not hindering business operations and productivity and 2) ultimately adding to your company's success. If you have hardware or systems in place that are out of date or aren't best configured to meet your company's unique needs, your technology may not be supporting your business goals. With a detailed look at all of the moving IT parts, you can make sure that your goals (i.e. productivity, mobility, collaboration, savings) are met with help from your technology.
3) You Can Gauge The Impact Of New Or Different Technology Implementations
Are you considering migrating some applications to the cloud? Or thinking about switching to a different in-house email solution? There is a slew of different factors, precautions and issues such as industry compliance that must be taken into consideration when it comes to these business-changing decisions. An IT technology assessment can help you gauge the impact of changing, upgrading or adding new technologies as well as provide a detailed roadmap to help get you there.
4) IT Ensures That Your IT Network Is In-Line With Industry Best Practices
A system-wide assessment of your IT infrastructure lets you know if your IT network follows industry best practices. It can also check to make sure your IT components are operating in compliance with industry and governmental regulations. Standards change over time, and the configuration of your IT environment may not reflect the most up-to-date changes which could ultimately put your business at risk. A comprehensive, system-wide assessment will show you whether or not your system is in compliance and can provide details on how to remedy the situation.

In the Autumn Statement last year, along with a few other restrictions on contractors, plans were announced to curb the use of Member's Voluntary Liquidations (MVLs). Whilst guidelines have been given, further rules around MVLs and their uses are expected in the Budget on 16th March 2016 – but by then it might be too late to act!
Member's Voluntary Liquidations are a method of winding up your limited company and are useful if you have high reserves remaining. They allow the shareholders to distribute the reserves as a Capital Gain, which are taxed at lower rates than dividends if you're a higher rate taxpayer.
Some shareholders will qualify for Entrepreneurs' Relief, which carries an even lower rate of tax at 10%.
The option is only available to solvent companies (who can pay their debts) and is an alternative to closing the company by striking off.
If you want to go down the MVL route you need to appoint an authorised insolvency practitioner who will charge a fee. Usually the tax saving outweighs the cost, but it's best to talk it through before deciding on this course of action.
If you have reserves of £25,000 or less then you can extract the funds as a Capital gain without the need for an MVL.
MVLs will still be around and useable by contractors, but the changes are designed so they can be used for more 'legitimate' business reasons, retirement for example. They are part of the anti-avoidance measures announced in the budget, which the government are looking to bolster over the next few years. In future HMRC might block or reverse the application of the lower tax rate and instead apply the usual dividend rate to the reserves released from the company.
In particular the plans will restrict so-called 'phoenix' companies, where a company that's built up high reserves uses the MVL to extract the funds efficiently, then the main shareholder sets up another company with the same trade.
HMRC is looking to introduce time restrictions, so there has to be at least two years between the shareholder winding up one company and starting another of the same trade.
With the changes to the way dividends are taxed next year (see our blog here) the MVL option seems especially attractive if you can do it in the next couple of months.
If you think an MVL might be for you, get in touch with your dedicated accountant before you do anything. There are a few factors which might mean it's not the right option, but we'll be able to put you on the right path at least.
You will need to act quickly so get in touch as soon as possible. The changes will be introduced from 5th April 2016 at the latest, so get cracking.Go Back

Mets 3B David Wright undergoes back surgery, but has no plans to retire
Mets third baseman David Wright announced Thursday he underwent a surgical procedure on his back in addition to the rotator cuff surgery he had in September.
The procedure was performed on his lower back with the hopes of preventing further problems in the future.
"Through this entire rehab process, I have been driven to get back on the field as quickly as I can," he wrote in a statement. "That's why I had the shoulder surgery and that's why today I underwent back surgery to reduce the risk of further issues going forward."
The Mets announced that David Wright underwent a laminotomy procedure on his lower back today in Los Angeles. Here's his statement: pic.twitter.com/1FsTuQMn7k— Mark Feinsand (@Feinsand) October 5, 2017
Wright was able to come back for limited time in 2016 as he played in 37 games that year, but he was unable to get on the field in 2017 and has played a combined 75 games in total over the last three years.
Still, he is 34 years old so he does have some time left, in theory, and he is doing all he can to make it back onto the field.
"With these two surgeries behind me, I hope to be able to put on a Mets uniform again as soon as possible," he wrote. "My desire to play is as strong as ever."

The Battle of Mill Springs 1862
Last Saturday Al hosted a Regimental Fire and Fury game of the Battle of Mill Springs. As a nice twist, the game was hosted exactly on the 151st anniversary of the battle. "Lord" Al Gaiser hosted the game using his hordes of nicely painted 25mm ACW figures and great terrain. Here are a few pictures of the game:
Here's a link to some info on the battle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mill_Springs
|The gamemaster -Lord Al - note his T-shirt!
|A picture of the game from the CSA starting positions. The battle was a small, early war battle fought in KY, and was significant as an important early Union victory.
|The end of the first turn. The Rebs have advanced! I played on the CSA side. I had to leave early in the action, but I heard that the CSA pulled out the win and everyone had a great time!
|Al normally plays skirmish type games like "Brother against Brother", so he mounted his figs on magnetic bases for this game. These are some of his great looking 28mm Dixon figs.
|A very nice command stand in Lord Al's collection.
|Another view of Al's great terrain and figs!

There was a useful discussion on a number of local issues - seagulls nuisance, wheelie bins, door entry security and roof guttering to name a few.
There was a very useful update from two representatives from the City Council on the review of parking restrictions in the area which will free up new parking space and there was also a helpful update from another City Council officer on the draft site planning brief for Queen Victoria Works.
I am also most grateful to representatives from Home Scotland, Ross & Liddell and Community Spirit Action Group who attended and participated in the discussion.

Lessons learned serving (hard time) on a church committee
Several years ago, I left a church over philosophical differences having nothing to do with religious doctrine. Members of the church were expected to sit on committees — which I agreed with heartily. Like many nonprofit organizations, the (small) church faced a constant struggle to "get businesspeople involved," but it needed specific acumen or connections to raise money or streamline operations. I therefore was cajoled into attending a "convenient" night or weekend meeting of my choice. Given expected budget cuts during that year, I opted to serve on the finance committee.

Sticks and stones: Dealing with workplace criticism
Usually you are quite open to feedback and, in fact, you even welcome negative comments — if you believe they have merit or could help you improve, or if they are offered by a friend who cares about you. So after Randy emails saying he'd like to discuss your team project suggestions with you ("face to face") before adding them to the group report, is your first reaction one of appreciation, apprehension, or annoyance?

Yellowfin super-sized
IT is starting to feel like winter is leaving and with that comes warmer days and hopefully lots of fishing.
Now for what was biting and where.
West Coast
Venus Bay had big tommies, squid and some decent reports of King George whiting from boats and the jetty.
Talia Beach was on the quieter side, with anglers fishing the beach reporting salmon were very slow going.
Coffin Bay
Land-based anglers fishing the Ledge reported slow going this past week.
Reports indicate that whether fishing day or night fish catches lacked.
Farm Beach continued to provide the best numbers of King George whiting with a few other species like blue morwong, gummy sharks and flathead mixed in.
Port Lincoln
Boaties fishing the Passage reported King George whiting being caught late in the afternoon, with most boats able to find fish.
The odd blue morwong was also reported caught from some of the deeper drops.
North Shields continues its run of yellowfin whiting, with several schools holding position along the beach.
Fish were seen from the caravan park through to the sand hills.
Fish size is exceptional, with one fish measuring 42cm. Clickers and worms remain the best baits.
Salmon schools were cruising along the coastline between North Shields and Tumby bay.
Fish weighed in at an average of 1 to 3 kilograms, hitting most lures and baits thrown at them if they were within casting range from shore.
Boaties caught snook trolling along the north shore, with several reports coming through this past week.
Once fish were located they were generally picked up quickly, and generally above the legal size.
Port Neill/Arno Bay
Port Neill jetty and breakwater area had some decent reports this past week, with plenty of action for land-based fishos.
Big squid, tommies, snook and salmon were all caught proving it a worthwhile location to try.
Tumby Bay
Whiting and snook were reported coming from the Group.
Locals are still catching some good numbers of yellowfin whiting and a few blue swimmer crabs.
