EM 385 ladder safety standards ensure that all workers who work on ladders do so safely and without putting their lives on the line.
Employers have a legal obligation to ensure that workers remain safe. To prevent fall accidents all floors, roofs, wall openings, platforms, scaffolds, ramps etc have to be secured before being used.
Most rules that apply to ladders also apply to the equipment mentioned. To prevent serious accidents, employers need to maintain these regulations on a work site:
- Do not use ladders if they feel dizzy or tired or in a high storm
- Wear shoes that are slip-resistant. This does not include leather shoes.
- Inspect the ladder before using it to ensure it is in good working condition.
- Ladders that are loose or have missing parts should be replaced immediately
- The ladder should be the right size for the job
- The ladder should be long enough that the worker does not have to stand on the top step to work.
- Only one person should be on the ladder at a time.
- The ladder should be placed on a non-slippery surface which should also be level.
- Ladders must not be placed in front of doors. If unavoidable, the door should be locked or guarded at all times to prevent a collapse.
- Read all safety information that comes with the ladder. The safety manual is specific for each ladder and workers should be well versed in them.
- All locks on an extension ladder have to be secured before use.
- The maximum load rating of the ladder must not be exceeded. This includes the combined weight of the tools and equipment.
- The ladder should not be moved or shifted when a worker is on it.
- Alternative equipment should be considered if the worker has to work for more than 30 minutes at an elevated height.
According to the law, ladders can be used at certain heights if fall protection is in place. However, this does not mean that other safety precautions should be overlooked.
40-hour EM 385-1-1 USACE Safety & Health
The 40-hour EM 385-1-1 USACE Safety & Health from 360training.com is designed to give students an understanding of the EM 385 regulations that apply on a work site and to ensure compliance during government or army contracts. Sign up today.

As a person, I've always very much been an observer. I'm happier behind the scenes rather than in the spotlight. When it comes to making decisions, I'm very much someone who likes to have all of the information to take my time and make an informed decision. I'm a listener rather than a talker, definitely an introvert who prefers a quiet life rather than one full of noise.
I think that has been to my cost recently. I've never had any difficulty in asking for help until recently. I knew that I was struggling with my mental health but I did it in silence and on my own. My parents have always said that no matter what is happening, I can always tell them. No matter what, they want to know. I couldn't bring myself to tell them about the work issue. I has no qualms or reservations telling them about the breakdown of my previous relationship or my ex contacting me seeking support after we split.
I was embarrassed and I actually believed what I was consistently being told. I believed that I was a failure. I was scared of making my manager aware of my mental health difficulties as it would have been used against me. I didn't want them to have anymore ammunition to use against me. The harder I tried, the more "evidence" my manager found to use against me. I was damned if I did and damned if I didn't. I was constantly on a state of high alert. I was exhausted. I was so anxious and it was constant. I was spending time with my family at Christmas and was still in a heightened state of anxiety. I was even anxious about making dinner for them one evening. I know that's ridiculous but that was my reality and still I didn't tell them until months later.
I did eventually confide in one of my friends. I'm incredibly lucky to have the most amazing friends who support me and are there for me. Even when I was telling my friend what had been going on, I still felt that I was a f**k up. My friend instantly told me that what I was experiencing at work was wrong. She then gave out to me in a supportive way that I hadn't told her before. I felt like a weight had been lifted. For the first time in a long time, I realised that I was trying my best and wasn't a failure. I also recognised that supports that should have been in place at work, were not.
I then started to confide in my boyfriend. He just knows when I'm not myself or something is bothering me. We talk about everything and I can tell him exactly what is on my mind no matter how big or small. He has also experienced something similar in a previous job so knows exactly what I was going through. It was round about this time that my physical health started to suffer…I'm convinced that this is linked to me starting to open up and acknowledge to myself that I was struggling. I also told my boyfriend that I was taking medication for my mental health.
I had some annual leave and visited my family and caught up with another one of my friends who also had previous experience of my situation. I felt more comfortable talking about my work situation as I was realising that while my work had suffered, I no longer saw myself as a failure or f**k up. I didn't tell my family or friends about my being on medication though. I guess that is something that I'm still a bit vexed about. I don't feel ashamed about being on medication, I don't see my anti-depressants as different to my asthma medication. I think I'm just more aware that there's still a stigma around mental health and the prescribing of medication for it. Maybe there is still part of me that feels a bit embarrassed.
I also then started to seek support from work. I've found this to be both supportive and anxiety provoking. My employer has been very supportive, I've been open with the HR department about my situation and the background to it. It was a relief to get it all off my chest. A meeting has been arranged to discuss my return to work. I do have a feeling of trepidation about it but I also need to have my voice heard. I need this opportunity to say my piece. I want to draw a line under all this and move forward. I need closure. One way or another, I hope all will end well.

Volvo Car USA partnered with tennis legend Stan Smith to help raise money for kids in need at the 2018 Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance.
The pair teamed up with artist Amiri Farris, Pixar designers Jay Ward and Jay Shuster, and Volvo's own head of design Robin Page. The Jays are best known for work on Cars and Wall-E respectively, and Page took over as Senior VP, Design, in 2017. Before that he was responsible for the interior of the Bentley limo belonging to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
Each turned Adidas Stan Smith tennis shoes into artwork inspired by the XC40 compact luxury crossover.
Why shoes? Partly because Smith, a Hilton Head Island resident, was at the event signing his new book Some People Think I'm a Shoe. Partly because Volvo designers already use footwear to show the styling intent of their cars. The company says that the 90 series are represented by the classic Oxford. A suede brogue for the 60 series, and a white sneaker for the 40s. The event raised $10,000.

Calcutta Homoeopathic physicians celebrated Hahnemanns Birth-day anniversary on April 10, 1948, at the lecture court of All India Exhibition, Eden gardens, Calcutta. Sri Tushar Kanti Ghose, editor, Amrita Bazar Patrika presided over the meeting, and Lady Pratima Mitter was the Guest of Honour. The spacious court was filled to capacity. Sri K.N. Majumdar, Registrar, State Faculty of Homoeopathic Medicine, Bengal, declared that arrangements are now in progress for the election of the new constitution of the General Council of the State Faculty of Homoeopathic Medicine, but owing to pre-occupations of the Ministry no definite date could yet be fixed.
Dr. N.M. Choudhuri, President of the Anniversary Committee, thanked Sri Tushar Kanti Ghose and Lady Pratima Mitter for their august presence and requested the eminent editor to promote the cause of Homoeopathy through his foremost and powerful journal. Light refreshments were served by the Homoeopathic Publicity Centre at the end of the function.
The U.P.I. learns that the West Bengal Government have decided to open hospitals and dispensaries every two or three miles throughout the province, with a view to rendering medical help and advice to all and sundry, the poor people in the province being in an alarming condition for want of proper medical treatment and advice.
This scheme of medical relief to all and sundry inhabiting the urban and rural area of even this newly abridged West Bengal is indeed a stupendous task. To establish an allopathic dispensary or hospital every two or three miles in a deficit province is very much like a day dream.
It may come within an orbit of possibility if an unprejudiced and sincerely well- wishing ministry explores the cheapest and at the same time efficacious system of medicines that has already become known and popular, and adopts same in implementing their scheme; And that is HOMOEOPATHY. Else, the scheme is destined to stay amongst utopian politics. After 50 years Plague has appeared in Calcutta, spreading over a wide area. Regarding dissemination of the disease our Physician-Premier Dr. B.C.Roy observes: The bacillus was carried by fleas found on the body of a rat, the animal to be first infected by it.
Fleas suck the blood of a rat and then bite an individual, thus injecting bacilli into the human body. In addition to this, in very rare cases the excreta of fleas or rats might contain a large number of bacilli and if any one lived in dirty surroundings there was every chance of the bacilli entering into human host through any abrasion of the skin. Bacilli might also spread from one person to another through breath. Usually plague affected the glandular system and the progress in the human body was slow. In case of infection through inhalation the progress was more rapid but this type was comparatively uncommon.
During the first visitation of plague 50 years ago wearing of Ignatia beans on arms was found to be useful as a prophylactic. Why not give it a chance in this epidemic.
Homoeopathic physicians will do well to study the materia medica of the following drugs which cover a good deal of the symptoms of plague of the bubonic type: Arsenic alb., Bapt.; Bell.; Carbo an.; Carbo veg.; Crotalus.; Ign.; Iod.; Lach.; Naja; Operculina Turpethum.; Phos.; Pyrogen.; Rhus t.; Tarentula c.; Make particular study of the Ophidia group.
The respiratory type of plague usually requires Ant.t.; Bell.; Bry.; Carbo veg.; Lyc.; Phos.; Rhus t.; Iod.; Ipec.; Sanguin.; Sulph. Hepar Sulph will often be found a very useful intercurrent and also an effective close-up.

DOWN near Southampton, Hampshire, Shane Gould had an epic battle in the dark with a colossal 54 lb 12 oz mirror carp at a local lake.
The 41-year-old floor layer told the Mail: "It took me by surprise and I didn't even have my head-torch to hand so it was a bit of a guessing game as to what she was doing.
"On trying to net her she went off like one of those bionic commons and flat-rodded me. I got her in second attempt and could barely lift the net and knew it was a big fish. I shouted over to the angler next door who came over to help out," concluded Shane, who was fishing at 140 yards with a Mainline Baits Cell boilie.

Chagrin Summer Theatre
Youth Theatre
Music and Lyrics by William Finn
Book by Rachel Sheinkin
Conceived by Rebecca Feldman
Additional Material by Jay Reiss
Show Description:
Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.
An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.

Apart from big, one-time expenditures, or perhaps expensive "habits" like collecting shoes or smoking cigars, a large portion of the population ends up spending the majority of their income on essentials. This includes expenses like housing, utilities, food, professional certifications, cleaning products, toothpaste, and the list can go on and on.
We often don't stop to think about how to lower this base cost of living, usually overlooking that option and going straight to hacking off the things that give us pleasure, like golfing, traveling, or dressing like a fashionista.
There are ways, however, in which you can lower your cost of living and perhaps be able to continue to thoughtfully spend time and money on those "bonus" activities or items which keep you thriving or allow you to be more "you".
It might take an initial investment on your end at first, but here are some "hacks" you can use to lower your base cost of living and boost your "fun fund".
Buy Food in Bulk
Being intelligent about your grocery shopping can save you thousands of dollars a year- talk about funding that adventure trip to Thailand! The trick is to buy things in bulk when they are on sale, store them in the appropriate manner, and use them in your everyday cooking. From items like chicken breasts, to your favorite cereal, or even spices, you won't run into as many situations when you buy regular price just because you suddenly need that product for one of your meals. By stocking the cupboard with sale items, you can shop first in your pantry and use weekly grocery trips for selecting fresh fruits and vegetables that won't keep otherwise.
Invest in Your Personal Health and Hygiene
It's time to put our long-term thinking caps on and consider the costs it takes to maintain ourselves- everything from basic health, like doctor's visits, to supplementary services like physiotherapy, down to basic routines like shaving.
Is there anything we can do to minimize the time and expense that it takes to keep us in good shape? Consider joining a gym or committing to a fitness program as a way of cutting down on treating your health problems and funding health care visits, or getting braces in order to correct your bite and avoid a slew of dental issues down the road. You can even eliminate a lifetime cost of shaving accessories when you sign up for treatment with an IPL device that provides permanent hair removal results 4 to 5 times faster than diode laser, and is certainly more convenient than everyday maintenance.
Retrofit Your Home
Good bye high utility bills- it's time for you to meet your match. You can significantly lower the cost of your bills when you invest in energy-saving technology in your home. Start with replacing your lightbulbs for LED alternatives, purchase high efficiency appliances, and research methods in which you can better heat and cool your home during the different seasons. From simple fixes like replacing your windows to reinsulating your roof, by doing it "right", not only will you appease your inner environmentalist, you will delight your inner economist who won't have to wait long to see the payback on these investments.
When attempting to balance the budget in your household, we often lean towards depriving ourselves of those "extras" which keep us happy and satisfied. However, that's just one option that we have to choose from. Though attempting to lower our base cost of living can be difficult, it can be more rewarding in the end since we don't have to sacrifice that which makes us feel like ourselves.

But Pence did much more than simply cast a key vote. Several sources told Newsmax that Pence's efforts were pivotal to winning over to the bill conservative pro-family groups such as Concerned Women for America and the Faith and Freedom Coalition.
"On healthcare, as on so many other personnel and policy matters, Vice President Pence is an indispensable player in moving President Trump's agenda," Faith and Freedom head Ralph Reed told me. "President Trump made one of his best decisions when he selected Pence to be his running mate roughly a year ago, and it continues to pay dividends.
Paul Caprio, director of the Chicago-based One Nation under God Foundation, agreed. "Nothing done on legislation by Dick Cheney and Dan Quayle [the last two Republican vice presidents] approaches the level of what Mike Pence has done on the healthcare bill," he said. "The relationships with members of Congress are much more Mike Pence's than they are [White House Chief of Staff] Reince Priebus.'"
Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott agreed. Pence, Lott told Newsmax, "Is unique among modern vice presidents. He's always been a conservative and has the background of being in a leadership position [Pence was GOP conference chairman] when he was in the House. He is widely respected in among conservatives and well-suited to reach out and influence senators."
Several presidential historians agreed that Pence played an unusually significant role for a vice president in the enactment of legislation.
Justin Coffey, Quincy University professor and biographer of former Vice President Spiro Agnew, likened Pence's role to that of "Vice President Al Gore in helping the 1993 budget get through the House and Senate. A number of Gore's Democratic colleagues trusted him and likely would not have voted for it without his lobbying."
"One swallow does not make a spring nor one vote a legislative agenda," said David Pietrusza, author of four books on presidential election years. "But Pence certainly proved critical in this vote as perhaps no vice president has been since Richard Nixon's role in Joe McCarthy's censure [in 1954]."
Pietrusza added that "Pence had to do the job. In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king. The rest of the Trump White House is largely blind — inexperienced — in terms of working with Congress. The task fell to Pence, a former congressman, and he got it done."

The word "karma" is increasingly used in people's speech and literature. This happens largely due to the popularization of oriental philosophy, religion and all types of yoga. What does the word "karma" mean, whether we perceive and interpret it correct?
The law of karma is stated very simply: "As you sow, so shall you reap." And it is not a simplification and not a speculative reason. The principle of karma, in essence, is just another name for Newton's third law: "For everyaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Thus, this law is inherent in the structure of the Universe.
Almost every minute of life, people create certain karma and the nature will be defined by the character of attempted actions. It is important to keep in mind that inaction could also generate karma. Often obstacles and difficulties are not only caused by results of the activity in present embodiment, but also by the negative karma from past lives.
You should be not afraid of the outcome of bad karma, because there exist ways of karma correction.
Of course, the most important way to avoid negative karma is not create it here and now, having good intentions, keeping heart and mind pure, raising love to the whole world and other virtues.
Other methods of correction of negative karma are: spiritual practices, therapy with precious stones, and participation in Vedic ceremonies. In next publications we will tell more detailed about each of them.
The publication is based on materials of H. Defau's and Robert Svoboda's book "Jyotish. The introduction into Indian astrology".

Nuts, bolts, hot tips, and road-tested information from Holly Million for indie filmmakers raising money
Tag Archives: applications
Why Fees Are for Chumps — Don't Pay When You Hit "Submit"
I've been gone from this blog too long, but I have a good excuse. I have been in the thrall of fundraising and producing three documentary films over the last few years. It's been intense. But now I'm back and ready to share everything I learned and everything I already knew before that.
Recently, I have started taking on consulting clients who are filmmakers needing fundraising support. If you fall into that category and want to find out more about my services, how they're structured, and what they cost, you can email me at holly(at)hollymillion(dot)com.
Between the fundraising for my own documentaries and the researching funding opportunities for my film clients, I've become much more familiar with what's going on in the funding world at the moment. There's been a ton of upheaval in this world over the past six years, due to the economy tanking in 2008 and due to the tectonic shifts in the film and media world itself. Recently, I've come across several funding entities that actually charge a fee for filmmakers to submit a proposal for funding consideration. Pondering this for a moment caused me to experience a blood-boiling anger. Because I have learned that paying fees for submitting your film for consideration is a total scam and that these entities are treating filmmakers like chumps.
Funders charging a fee is not the norm most of the time, but it happens enough that I realize it's something I should write about. I've seen this situation, where a fee is charged, in the case of some foundations, but also in the case of film festivals, and also in the case of other special conferences with pitch opportunities. Now, I'm not going to name names here, because it's liable to unleash a wave of defensiveness on the part of the guilty parties — I mean the helpful funders, festivals, and conferences who just want to make money — I mean help filmmakers. One of these funders positions themselves as wanting to help women in film, but they charge $75 for each funding proposal submitted. Now, $75 seems pretty confiscatory to me, especially when you consider that they hand out less than 10 grants a year. The vast majority of applying filmmakers who are paying $75 are doing something functionally equivalent to flushing cash down the toilet. One of my film clients wanted to apply for this specific grant, and she asked me, "Do you think it's worth it?" To which I replied, "I actually think this is unethical and a complete scam." To which she replied, "But I am desperate and want to try." That's right, she was desperate, just like a lot of filmmakers who are wondering how in the hell they are going to raise the money they need to finish their films.
But, once these filmmakers do finish their films, the scam continues. Because all of these filmmakers want to get into festivals, so all of them are about to pay hundreds, or even thousands of dollars in submission fees to film festivals. And in almost every case, the films that will be selected to screen will have by-passed this whole lame-ass system and will have paid not one thin dime in submission fees. Because there is a whole secret, separate system where the filmmakers who get into festivals have used their connections to by-pass the front door, the fees, and all the plebeians who are trying to get in that way. And they are talking to the programmers directly. So my best fest advice is, "Screw fees! Contact the programmer directly somehow, find a consultant or ally who will champion your film and get you direct consideration without the fee."
And don't ever, ever, ever submit your film to a festival through Without A Box. Yeah, I know I said I was not going to name names, but this one merits being called out. The site is an abhorrence, first of all, that looks like a relic of 1995. But the real sin is that the fees you are charged to submit your film to festivals through WAB will purchase you absolutely zero. So call me shrill, but I am going to exhort you never, ever, ever to submit a film through WAB. It is a total lie.
And then there are the filmmaker conferences that offer pitch opportunities. You'll get to pitch your film to industry representatives, get feedback, and maybe even score funding opportunities. Hallelujah! Where do I sign up? Not so fast, young filmmaker! You first have to become a member of the host organization. And THEN you have to pay a fee to be considered for the pitch opportunity. Does this sound familiar? Good. Because if you're being asked to pay $100 to become a member and then you are being asked to pay a fee to be "entered" into consideration, you might as well open up your wallet, take out all your money, walk to the john, toss it in, and flush. Your chances of being selected for this "opportunity" are only marginally better if you pay your fee to that organization instead of flushing.
Stick with funders who want to GIVE you money, not the ones that want to CHARGE you money. Save your precious cash for something more important, like, oh, I don't know, hiring crew, travel, renting equipment, editing, color correction, you know, all that film stuff.
In fundraising solidarity,

Oil is everywhere. It permeates our daily lives in ways we never think about.
Indian Express
Our food is oil intensive, the tractors in the field run on diesel and fertilizers, pesticides are all oil. The roads we drive on, are made of asphalt which is Oil, the tires of our car are made from oil, lubricants are oil. It takes a pretty sizable price increase for people to scale back demand even a little.
- Contemporary British women artists : in their own words!
- End the Oil Age Now?
- All in good time.
- Are We At The End of the Oil Age? | Cambridge House International.
Crude oil, since its discovery has penetrated deep into our daily lives and we would be crippled when the reserves of crude oil are depleted. Your email address will not be published.shopmattress.net/libraries/other/888.html
Historic moment: Saudi Arabia sees End of Oil Age coming and opens valves on the carbon bubble
Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Oil is Everything: Oil is everywhere. Petrochemicals are the glue of our modern lives and even in glue, too. And because of all that, petrochemicals are in our blood.
A New Watchlist
A transportation revolution is underway that could completely transform the oil market in the coming decades. A hundred years ago, coal accounted for close to 80 percent of US energy consumption.
- Reading The Postmodern Polity: Political Theory as Textual Practice.
- Navigation menu?
- From the futurist blog;
- Bee Products: Properties, Applications, and Apitherapy!
- End of the oil age | The Indian Express.
This happened even though coal was cheaper than oil, because there was no real alternative to power motor vehicles, which quickly went from an exotic luxury to the preferred means of personal transportation. Today, automobiles account for about 45 percent of oil consumption in the world. With the rise of electric vehicles and renewable energy, the world may be on the verge of a revolution in transportation and energy technology that could transform the oil market the way the coal market was transformed a century ago.
Like coal then, oil could see its share in energy demand plummet in the coming decades.
The End of the Age of Oil
The year —when Ford first sold a mass-produced, affordable vehicle—was a tipping point. With their much lower maintenance and fuel costs, it is hard to deny that electric vehicles could displace a sizable number of motor vehicles in the not-too-distant future.
Others also predict a sizable displacement of motor vehicles, albeit at a slower pace. Not really.
Column: U.S. oil reserves rise to record despite production boom - Kemp - Reuters
Renewables have also witnessed revolutionary development in the past decade. The cost of producing electricity from solar power has fallen by 80 percent since and from wind power by 60 percent. Unsubsidized solar and wind energy, already competitive in 30 countries, is projected by the World Economic Forum to become cheaper than coal and natural gas in more than 60 percent of the world in the next few years.
Even without further technological advances, the penetration of renewables will spread as capacity investments already underway are completed.

IHM Sisters and the MRC Family wish to express their sincere gratitude to Father Barr and our beloved St Joseph-St Mary Parishes for all the support we received for our Mission. The Spaghetti Dinner was a huge success thanks to all of you. The desserts, and turning out in your numbers despite the biting cold, meant so much to us. We served about 475 dinners and netted over $1,000.00 in donations. Thank you for always being there for us. May the good Lord reward you abundantly. — Sister Theo

Knights of Coumbus Helping Women Who Need a Little Help
The Knights of Columbus raised money for the Madonna Renewal Center (MRC) to help pregnant women who need some help getting on their own. The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, from Nigeria, completed their first phase of the old St Francis Hospital in Freeport IL. They can now take in up to ten women who are pregnant for up to two years after the birth of their child. Stipulations do apply. They will interview anybody who can make it to their doorstep, but please call ahead of time. at 1-815-297-8287.
The purpose of the MRC is to help pregnant bring their children to birth and teach them how to be independent with their child. They will learn how to take care of themselves, their children and get them on the road to developing job skills. The vision the sisters have is that all this will be done with a feel of home. Home is a place of security and family. They are not an institution of hand outs where the suffering continues after the handout. They really want to make the lives of these women better for the rest of their lives.
The Knights of Columbus are proud to help the Sisters in their ministries. The MRC is a special ministry in saving lives, saving souls and in protecting the most vulnerable. Being pregnant and abandoned is a vulnerable position to be in for these women. We all will look forward for them to receive what they need and never have to fall into that same vulnerability again. If you are a Catholic Man and would be interested in being part of the Knights, you can check out this web site:

The Imamates
Oman's inhabitants adopted Islam during the life of the Prophet Muhammad in circa 630 CE. Earlier, Omanis had worshipped gods related to the sun, the moon, and other celestial bodies. Believers in Hinduism and Christianity were also present in the region. Omanis became involved in the foundation of the Ibadiya sect in Basra in the mid-7th century. The doctrine spread in Oman (it was also adopted in North African countries such as Algeria and Tunisia, where pockets still exist today) and followers subsequently built a state under the leadership of their own elected religious head, the Imam. The first Ibadi Imamate came into being in 750 CE under Imam al-Julanda ibn Masud. As a result Oman gained independence from the Abbassid Caliphate in Baghdad.
The Imamate, the first central power in Oman, was successful in unifying the semi-independent tribes. It strengthened the naval force and profited from the extensive trade network, which connected the Islamic world with Europe and the Far East. In the 9th century, the first Omani ship sailed to China. Sohar became the main port in the Persian Gulf, the busiest in the region for the following two centuries. As Oman was united and had control over its ports, it could expand its trade network and profit from the wealth generated.
In 1784, Said bin Ahmad, a member of the Al Bu Said, discarded the title of Imam. From this moment, the central authority was headed by secular rulers, which has lasted until the present day. These rulers called themselves sayyids (claiming to be descendants of the Prophet Muhammad). The title of Sultan was first used by the British in the 19th century, but was only hesitantly accepted by the tribal leaders.

Vampires are the new hot character, in case you haven't noticed. Vamps have been popular since Stoker wrote Dracula, but only recently have they had the chance to convert from nasty seductive blood-sucking monsters to broody seductive blood-sucking good guys.
These days, vampire main characters are everywhere: brooding in the woods in romance novels; at vampire finish schools in YA novels; being superheroes in comics and on TV; and taking over the teen and adult prime time soap genre on television. Many of these vampire-centric stories are entertaining, some are even extraordinary. But still:
Enough, already!! Can't writers think of ANY OTHER mythical beings to live among humans?
Yeah, I know: werewolves and zombies. Done and overdone. They're also off the originality list. Same goes for witches, wizards and ghosts, who are not only well past their freshness date but also – duh! – human beings.
For those of you whose imaginations need a little assistance in thinking of other types of supernatural creatures to populate your world, I offer this short list of supernatural species that I'd like to see in a contemporary setting:
Undine. A female water spirit of lakes and rivers, the undine traditionally tries to marry a human so she can gain a soul (see Anderson's The Little Mermaid for a literary version of this story). By the way, once Christianity took hold in Europe, its teachings added a new element to myth and folktale by insisting that fairies of any kind don't have souls. How relevant that might be in a contemporary setting would be up to you.
Djinn (genie). A being of great power in Middle Eastern tales, the djinn is usually destructive and inimical to humankind, unless it is bound by some kind of magic, when it has to restrain itself from destruction and help its human masters. Living in a lamp is not obligatory. Besides, a djinn would have much more fun messing with your BlackBerry. (I already have a contemporary genie story making the magazine rounds right now, though it doesn't quite meet the criterion of this list, because the genie isn't the protagonist. Hmmm, maybe a sequel is in order…)
Selkie. The gray seal of the North Atlantic can swim ashore as a seal, take off his/her skin and walk around as a human for a while before returning to the sea. In the most famous selkie story, an Irish fisherman falls in love with a selkie woman, and hides her skin, forcing her to stay on land. She marries him and bears his children, then one day, she finds the hidden sealskin, puts it on and dives back into the sea. Take that to a divorce court!
Banshee. The harbinger of death in Irish folk tales, the banshee is a fairy woman whose horrible cry is only heard by those who will soon die. What would life be like for the fairy who had this job?
Brownie. The small household spirit of English and German legend comes around after dark and helps the deserving with household chores, or causes mischief and destruction if it isn't treated well, or sees signs of sloppy and lazy housekeeping. Best known from the Grimm story, "The Elves and the Shoemaker;" and now from J K Rowling's House Elves, who seem pretty closely related. Would a modern Brownie need an Immigrations Green Card to do its stuff?
Animist spirits. In some mythologies almost any place or natural object can have a resident spirit or animus; the Greek dryads and naiads (tree and spring spirits) are just one example. Imagine you're the animus of a nice woodland meadow, and someone comes and builds a subdivision on your metaphorical belly!
Almost any non-Western mythical being. India, for example, has more minor gods than there are grains in a teaspoon of curry powder. Africa, Japanese and Polynesian folklore seem equally rich with creatures. Pick one from your own ethnic heritage or someone else's, and have some fun.
And the number one being I'd like to see playing main characters in contemporary settings:
Fairy. Also known as elves, the Fair Folk, fays, the People of the Sidhe, and many other names, depending on the country and the culture. I'm not talking about Tinkerbell and her cute little friends, the Disney/JM Barrie/Arthur Rackham pixies with butterfly wings. Real fairies are usually all that's left in cultural memory of the Old Gods of any culture that has adopted more monotheistic religions. Each culture's fairies have their own powers and their own agendas, and all seem to have an irresistible fascination with mortal ways.
Yes, a lot of people do use Western fairies already in their fiction, including Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Charles de Lint, Mike Mignola and Susanna Clarke, to name just the few I've read recently. Each has treated fairies in very different ways, but I haven't yet found a contemporary novel, comic or screen presentation with a fairy as a point of view character. And given the wide variety of fairies in the world, the possibilities are endless.
In case my few species haven't inspired you, here's a much more comprehensive list compiled in honor of the day by the brilliant and possibly demented (in the best way) David Malki of Wondermark.com. Look up any names you can't identify, and I'm sure you'll find inspiration.
Go. Create. Entertain us! And Happy Halloween!

QATARI Sheikh Abdullah Bin Nasir Al Thani has once again failed to respond to the demands of the Junta de Andalucia in the construction of La Bajadilla Port in Marbella.
In August 2013, he paid the €1.8 million demanded from the Junta de Andalucia for the management fees for the port for 2012 and 2013, which should have been paid earlier.
However, this time, his team has reportedly failed to come up with the construction project requested by the Public Ports Agency, which is part of the Junta de Andalucia Council for Public Works. This should have set out the main completion dates for the most important stages of the project.
His company, Bin Nasir Abdullah & Sons, and Marbella City Hall have been informed that administrative proceedings will be opened against them which could result in a fine. The fine can be appealed against, but the construction process is already 17 months behind estimate.

Why do parents fear the future of their children and what can be done to make the parents the foundation of a world that is best for all?
If I were a parent, looking at my child as he came of age, making he ready to explore the 'grown up world' – my main fear would be that of my child not being able to support himself financially in this world. I would also fear that my child were to emotionally break down or be dealt with some really tough cards in life – such as drug addictions, jail sentences, abusive relationships, or some life-altering accident. I would in essence fear that my child somehow, someway would fuck up and turn his life into hell.
Now, these fears are fascinating to look at from the perspective of the parent being the teacher and the programmer of the child. Because if a parent would have any of the above-described fears in relation to his child's future, then this would mean the parent doesn't trust the training given to the child. The parent knows that the child hasn't been effectively prepared to take on and stand self-independent and self-directive in the world – but that there is a high risk that his/hers life will turn out a fuck-up. Many, many children, no, all children grow up to be adults that live fucked up lives – following their desires, likes, preferences, dislikes, fears and anxieties – walking a path of ensuring their own survival, which is a dangerous path that it's easy to fall off.
Is then the reason as to why parents fear the future of their children? Let's ask ourselves the following question to see if that is the case. If a parent knew that his child was effective, stable, unwavering in his application of living – would the parent then fear for the child's future? I know that I wouldn't, if I was a parent, because I would be certain that my child could deal with any situation arriving to be faced, take effective decisions based upon mathematics instead of a reactive and stimulated one's, based upon fear or desire. My child would in-fact live in reality and be able to deal with reality. What would there be for me to fear?
Obviously I would probably still fear that my child was to have some kind of accident or unexpected sickness – as this would mean my child wouldn't be able to support itself with money. So, all fears wouldn't be removed through knowing that my child was an effective life participant. To remove these types of fear we would need to implement a system based upon equality with equal support and assistance given to everyone. Then survival would be re-assured no matter what and the parent would finally be able to let go of his worry as to his child's future.
So, what can be done to have the parent develop and realize his ability to be an effective teacher and guide for his child? The answer is very simple. The parent must first become a teacher and guide for himself and remove the self-defeating patterns that hold the potential of destroying a cool life. These are the patterns that, if they are not removed, will be transferred to the child and as such be apart of his education.
Parents must thus become strong, self-independent, self-reliant, benevolent and humble human-beings, living not from the starting point of energy as thoughts, feelings and emotions – but instead from the starting point of mathematics, accumulating what is best for all in every breath, and as such showing their child a practical example of living perfection. Living perfection you won't ever get into situations or experiences that doesn't support you or those in your world – because you are not self-deluded anymore, but instead a physical being, taking decisions without blinds covering your eyes, an effective human being.
Thus – if you are a parent, or a child – it doesn't matter – join Desteni I Process and start your journey towards perfection, wherein fear will disappear, as you will stand self-directive in your life, within the principle of what is best for all. This how we create and place a foundation in this world that will have the outflow of heaven on earth – join us!

MOBO Award winning grime duo Krept & Konan, otherwise known as Casyo Johnson & Karl Wilson, just announced the launch of a new dessert restaurant called "Crepes & Cones", which is set to open in Croydon on May 12th.
The announcement made last night via Twitter stated "After working on this for over 2 years I'm so proud to announce that me and Konan are opening our restaurant @CrepesAndCones next week saturday may 12th. I hope to see you all there"
After working on this for over 2 years im im so proud to announce that me and konan are opening our restaurant @CrepesAndCones next week saturday may 12th. I hope to see you all there?tears of joy pic.twitter.com/romSWER1bl
— TALLY (@kreptplaydirty) May 1, 2018
Advertising themselves as "not your average dessert spot" in another post on Instagram, the pair spoke about their plans to stock a full-range of halal-friendly food items in their new Croydon location.
"We do crepes, waffles, grilled food, chicken, burgers, ribs, hot dogs to name a few…. We do cocktails, mocktails, slushes, milkshakes, everything" "We even have vegan options and ice cream and even a private room to hire."
A tweet from 2014 which was Retweeted by Krept shows that the idea to create Crepes & Cones has been in the works for quite some time.
In the comments he continued to say that "When i tweeted this i swear i had no idea where to start or how to go about this. I rap, how am i gonna open a restaurant. Where do i start etc… 4 years later it came to life. And somehow we made it happen"
In terms of working on the project, it appears that Krept & Konan have not shied away from the hard work. Going on to say "during the process (of launching the store) I even became a builder for a bit"
In order to promote the launch new store the pair have put together a promotional music video featuring appearances from the likes of popular artists such as Big Narstie, Mo Stacks and J Hus.
It is interesting to note that with just one week to go until the big day, Crepes & Cones is still looking for staff, and just yesterday posted information on how local residents can apply on Snapchat.
Currently, the website for Crepes & Cones (http://crepesandcones.com/) remains unreleased as a holding page. However, you can follow the progress of Krept & Konan's new venture, Crepe's & Cones, via Twitter @crepesandcones.
In other musical pursuits, Krept & Konan continue to see success with upcoming plans to release 2 new music videos as well as confirming their largest ever headline show at the Alexandra Palace on October 25th.

At least, not the way you want it to.
You've achieved some level of success and the money seems to keep trickling in.
But no matter how much you do, how many new strategies you try or team members you hire, you can't seem to reach that sweet spot where you're in the groove, making more than enough, doing great work, and indulging in plenty of downtime.
Until now.
For the last 7 years, I've been helping hundreds of people just like you blast through old beliefs and limitations so they easily achieve the level of income and success they want.
Not by implementing more strategies and working harder, but by making the inner shifts that give them the freedom and confidence to turn their biggest vision into a reality.
Since working with Nina I can finally see that some of the things I was struggling with most were more "in me" than "out there" in the world. It feels as if the work we did has lifted an invisible ceiling that was keeping me stuck – and now the sky is the limit.- Catherine Watkin www.sellingfromtheheart.com
Challenge: 6 figure income ceiling
I worked with Nina in December of 2015, because my biggest problem was consistency. I'd have good months and bad months. But it was only after clearing my blocks around earning more money, that I started seeing a big change in my income. That very next month, I earned more than twice what I'd earned in any month prior to that. And the month after that, I increased my record month by another whopping 30%. I would tell anyone who feels like they should be making more money, to schedule a session with Nina ASAP!- Rob Goyette www.robgoyette.com
Challenge: Inconsistent income flow
Before working with Nina, I was struggling with the decision to step up and take a risk in my business or play it safe. What I didn't realize is that I had a lot of unseen mindset blocks that were keeping me from earning more money and playing big.
While working with Nina, we uncovered the money blocks that I was unable to see on my own, and cleared many limiting beliefs that were holding me back. As a result, I had my first multiple six-figure year in business, brought on a team and a business partner, grew tremendously and raised my rates.
Plus, I finally felt like I had put my money story behind me and could freely and clearly move forward into a new place without fear. Nina is a genius at helping people see what's really been holding them back from abundance, and then clearing it together. I highly recommend working with her!- Janelle Holden CEO DeFY Sales LLC, United States

I think it would be a good idea to look at hardwood for the hallway, kitchen and dining room, then need to think about the girls rooms. Laminate would be good for them, I am thinking about makeup on the floor, so much easier to wipe off foundation from flooring than a carpet.
Having looked about I decided on Engineered Pyrenees, this is a 20mm thick board, this is really good for the hallway, kitchen and dining room, it has a brushed effect and is a bit darker than the oak. The brushed effect was a good decision with having the dog, you do not see any marks that I think you would have with a smooth finish.
Now for the girls rooms, do I go light or dark, not realising how much options I had to choose from, there are so many different colours. The eldest daughter decided that she wanted a dark grey colour and the youngest wanted something lighter.
We decided that we really liked the Vermont Oak for one of the girls rooms, this is a dark grey oak finished, this is a floor that has random width of the boards, this looks amazing down and worked in really well with the room, that's one room done now for the other, we chose Innsbruck which is a lighter grey effect laminate, not too dark and not too light, she loves it.
Now they are able to clean their spillages without having to worry about the flooring being stained.
I did ask about cleaning the floors with a steam mop, I was told under no circumstances to use a steam as it could damage the floor over time. I have to use a damp mop and wooden floor cleaner, so glad I asked the question before starting to use the steam mop.
I am so happy with all my new floors, they all look amazing down.

Born in Bloemfontein on 13 August 1942, he spent his formative childhood years in Klerksdorp, a small Highveld mining town west of Johannesburg in what is now Gauteng Province. From 1967 to 1969 Meyer worked as an illustrator in London, where he freelanced for magazines such as Readers Digest and newspapers like The Times and The Telegraph, as well as for various advertising agencies in the UK. He moved back to South Africa in 1969, where he became the countrys first full-time, specialist illustrator servicing the advertising industry.
He has exhibited with various galleries in the United States and UK since 1978 and lived with his wife Elaine and their two children at Lake Tahoe, Nevada from 1984 to 1986.
Since his first one-man show in 1972, Meyer has been a full time painter in South Africa, where he is generally regarded as the leading and most influential artist in the realist tradition. Meyer lives and works in Cape Town.
"Like a skilled novelist he uses the imaginary narrative to highlight an intense psychological realism that speaks about intimacy and distance".
Brett Hilton-Barber, from John Meyer: Sequential Narratives John Meyer stands outside Postmodernism but looks in. He draws his inspiration from contemporary culture yet renders his subject matter with a classicist's brush. At the centre of his new work is the concept of the narrative, the unfolding story, the moving picture.
In many respects this is at the core of the Postmodernist paradigm, the perpetual present in which the story has no end. But where Meyer differs from the Postmodernist aesthetic is that he eschews gimmickry and performance and concentrates on the traditional painter's concerns of light and composition.
Meyer's paintings are reminiscent of the film noir thriller genre in terms of their moody, austere hues and the tensions evoked by their central characters. They are charged with intrigue, suspense, romance and eroticism.
Although steeped in traditional art-historical references, these paintings draw their central inspiration from contemporary culture, specifically, the moving image. "We live in an age where we are highly influenced by a cinematic view of things" Meyer explains. "Everything is sequential, we relate to stories that unfold but at the same time we are conditioned to seek resolution."
Executed in Meyer's trademark realist style each canvas forms part of an emerging narrative - like a freeze-frame or segment extracted from a film storyboard. But unlike the linear film narrative, the stories provide neither definite beginnings nor neat, singular finales. Their plots spring not only from the optic nerve of the artist but also from the imagination of the viewer.
The realism conveyed through these paintings does not refer simply to Meyer's painterly technique. In these works "reality" also simmers beneath the surface. It resides in the tautness of a look or a touch, and in Meyer's subtle manipulation of composition, lighting and brushstroke. These works evoke the paradoxical truths that often splinter into the unconscious. They are about the conflicts of self and other. They are about intimacy, ambivalence, alienation and desolation.
The viewer's role in these private, tightly hewn vignettes is that of accidental voyeur stumbling across a moment that has been frozen and magnified. Is it a moment that has passed or is yet to take place? Is it life transforming or just another dust particle in the wind? The joy is in the enigma and the exploration of possibilities
I usually start by looking for something that will kick off a search, and it's typically a single figure. Something suggested in the attitude or body language of that figure can open a door for me that pulls me into exploring further. By adding another figure to the composition I start changing the dynamic without fully knowing where it's going. The light and shade is already established with the first figure. I invariably go through the process of trying three or four other figures to open up the narrative. Each one opens up the narrative in a totally different way. It's as if I'm playing the role of a director in a movie where there's no predetermined script and somehow I've got to create the circumstance to hold it altogether. Each new character has the potential to create a whole new story. But more often than not I commit myself to a single character in a sequence and that character becomes the primary protagonist that everyone else in the painting reacts to.
I use mixed media; essentially an acrylic based paint with a bit of sand mixed in to give it a textural quality - so that when I add layers the brush stroke often breaks up. I paint with various stages of dryness; which means with acrylic you have to work quite quickly. From the moment I mix the paint I have to paint rapidly to prevent it from drying out too fast. I'm forced to work quickly which has a knock on effect on the whole feeling of the painting.
I seek out information wherever I can find it. I watch TV and read magazines and books. I find bits of information, store them and rehash them.
I may use a real person as a starting point from a movie still I might use another figure from another movie, perhaps even from a different era.
If you want the painting to feel real to the viewer, they must be able to dig into their own experiences and identify with what I'm doing. The most important thing I find is to get the light right.
Then things follow more easily. But one needs a visual reference point as a convincing kick off.
If you work purely out of your head no matter how good you are you won't attain the sense of cinematic realism that I'm looking for.
I usually start my day by looking through my visual material options, followed by a light breakfast.
I then go to my office which is attached to my studio to take care of anything unrelated to painting, so I can clear my mind for the painting task ahead. By the time I start to work it is late morning.
I stop for a quick lunch, about half an hour, then I will keep going until the light fails. Elaine brings me a cup of tea from time to time, but everyone knows to leave me alone in the studio. Frankly, there is no other place I would rather be or that brings me more pleasure.
At the end of a typical day I relax by putting my feet up and enjoying a glass of wine and a cigar. I may read some, usually it would be something historical. Then I usually spend the night watching movies or searching for visual imagery. I'm a night owl, and seldom go to bed before midnight.
