Testimonial by David Payne
"Jen enabled me to uncover my goals and the journey to get there. It was easy once she showed me how."
The Accounting Department prides itself on the work we do for our clients and benefits they get. We were a finalist in the Fast Start Awards in 2013 because of our ability to serve and support.
I approached Jen to get clarity about my firm's direction to enable targeted capital investment as well as investments in people and operations. The flipcharts we created together remain in pride of place on my walls. Not only do they aid me in my firm's growth and cost control but they help my clients too: When my managers and I meet with clients we make sure we recognise their long term goals in our discussion.
My work with Jen showed just how important this is.
It is good for us as we ensure we have the clients we can enjoy and who will suit our journey forward, and it is good for them as we can make sure our advice works. Jen enabled me to uncover my goals and the journey to get there. It was easy once she showed me how. David Payne

We had Sunday lunch at Mr Basrai's World Cuisines Restaurant in Edinburgh's Fountainpark Centre at the end of October 2014. The restaurant had been recommended to our son, who lives in Edinburgh, by one of his work colleagues.
I liked the fact that the tables had a bit more space between them than in other buffet restaurants in Edinburgh, e.g the Cosmo. There were also discrete sections in the restuarant, which made it feel less like a large canteen.
The way that the buffet selection was laid out down two sides and in smaller central counters meant that it was easier to access the food. The food displays were very attractively presented.
My favourte starters were the Goat's Cheese Salad and the Butternut Squash Pate.
You can order freshly cooked food. You place your order, giving your table number, and it's brought to your table. I opted for the fish selection.
However, putting a limit of two on the Tiger Prawns seemed to be in contradiction to the supposed "all-you-can-eat" buffet. Now you can return to the live cooking station to order more food, but if it's busy you'd have to queue up again.
My favourite main couse was the Prawns in Mongolian Sauce. I wish that the prawns had been shelled, as it was messy getting them out of the shells.
The dessert selection was impressive.
The Passion Fruit Cheesecake was a bit disappointing, as it was a bit fluffy. I enjoyed the Apple Crumble with custard, and the Mint Ice Cream. The ice cream wasn't self service. I can appreciate that it makes easier to keep the serving area clean, but we had a wait a while for a member of staff to appear.
It costs £13 per person all day on a Sunday. On Friday and Saturday, lunch costs £10, Monday to Thursday it's £7.99.
In summary, I thought that the quality and selection of food at Mr Basrai's World Cuisines Restaurant was excellent. But I do think they should lift the restrictions on food at the live cooking stations. Next time I'll go for lunch on a Saturday, to pay £3 less.

Should you invest in home solar power instead of the stock market?
In 50 of America's largest cities, a home solar power system offers a better return on the stock market.
In 42 of those cities, the cost of solar power is less than the cost of electricity from the local utility.
Going Solar in America, a recent report from the NC Clean Energy Technology Center, found that that in nearly all of America's 50 largest cities, an average size solar PV system delivers a better payback than stock market investments. In many of those cities, solar power is cheaper in the long term than power from the utility.
"Right now, buying an average-sized, fully-financed solar PV system costs less than electricity from their local utility for 93% of single-family homeowners in America's 50 largest cities, and in most places, is a better investment than many of the stocks that are in their 401(k).
Nevertheless, most people are unaware that solar is this affordable for people of all walks of life. We hope that this report will help to close this critical information gap and reduce soft costs," Jim Kennerly, project manager for Going Solar in America, wrote in the report.
The report found that due to the falling costs of solar modules and installation, solar energy is an affordable option in 20 of the top 50 US cities, where if you can pay cash up front for a home solar PV system with a 25-year lifespan, you will get a better return than investing in the stock market.
According to the report, these are currently the top 10 cities that offer the best financial value for solar energy:
1. New York, NY
2. Boston, MA
3. Albuquerque, NM
4. San Jose, CA
5. Las Vegas, NV
6. Washington, DC
7. Los Angeles, CA
8. San Diego, CA
9. Oakland, CA
10. San Francisco, CA
The cities were ranked based on three metrics: (1) the average savings in first-year monthly bills, (2) the "overall present-day value of a long-term investment in solar" as compared to a stock investment with an average return, and (3) the levelized cost of energy generated by a rooftop solar system.
Various factors can influence the cost of solar in specific areas and cities, and solar incentives and/or net metering regulations will vary by the state or county, but in many of the most populated regions in the US, investing in solar is already a smart move.
According to the report, 9.1 million single-family homeowners in America's 50 largest cities already live where solar costs less than their current utility rates if they bought a PVsystem outright – and nearly 21 million (93% of all estimated single-family homeowners in those cities) do if low-cost financing is available.
Unfortunately, most homeowners don't understand that solar can generate both significant monthly savings and long-term investment value, and not infrequently, cost less than energy from some of America's largest electric utilities.
"What's more, it is our hope that people will come away realizing that solar is now not just an option for the rich, but a real opportunity for anyone looking to take greater control over their monthly utility bills and make a long-term, relatively low-risk investment," Kennerly wrote.
When the declining cost of solar is coupled with the rising cost of grid electricity, the financial case for solar (given the strong odds of future rate increases) can be quite persuasive, particularly for locales with higher than average electricity rates, such as California and the Northeast.
Perhaps surprising, data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows that customers in regions with the lowest rates tend to use the most energy and pay the highest monthly bills.
This data strongly suggests that maintaining lower rates does not have the desired effect of consumer protection, or of promoting efficient energy use.
The EIA also forecasts that utility rates will rise between 33%-83% over the 25-year typical life of a solar PV system. Many customers still mistakenly believe, however, that solar PV is not an option for them. This stems, in part, from a belief that they may not be able to afford it, and because their area does not have enough sunshine year-round.
In fact, solar PV's value to a customer tends to be most closely related to the degree to which solar can offset their typical use of grid energy.
As the cost of hardware falls, soft costs for solar – fees, permits etc – becomes a larger part of the costs involved.
Other threats to wider adoption include:
- The expiration (under current law) of the 30% federal investment tax credit (ITC) by the end of 2016, and the market disruption that could occur as that deadline approaches.
- The continuing reduction and/or elimination of state, local, and utility incentives as costs continue to decline.
- An increased clip of legislative and regulatory debates related to the costs and benefits of net metering policies.
- The continuation of a series of contentious international trade disputes that could impact the cost of solar PV hardware.
Kennerly recommends targeted actions to reduce soft costs, local governments can help to make costs can come down even further and allow an even greater portion of the American public to choose solar energy.

– We continue on Saturday's experiences, we emphasize crossing against / with the wind in strong / weak winds, and individual follow-up.
– Lunch and last community, with an evaluation and information about equipment, discount deals and the way ahead.
– The course ends so that participants can reach trains from approx. 15.30.
It is relatively easy to learn to ski sail, but it requires some strength in both arms and legs, as well as a basic knowledge of skiing / alpine skiing, as when the wind are strong, the speed can be very high. If in doubt about whether your children are old enough or able to participate, contact us and ask to speak with a trainer. Ski sailing is generally a very family-friendly activity because it is easy to learn and one can get started quickly without extensive training.
Clothing and Equipment when ski sailing
For a ski sailing course we recommend that you bring warm clothes with a waterproof and windproof layer on the outside. As sailing requires wind, you might want to cover your face, with a balaclava or similar. A warm scarf is also recommended. If you are you using your own skis, we recommend Alpine skis or Telemark skis . If you wish to rent skis for the course, please contact us in advance regarding rental booking. Mountain skis and cross-country skis have soft bindings and can easily be destroyed. Of course, we can help you find the right sails for the day's weather and wind.

General Paralysis of the Insane
1Tulane University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, LA
Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2015, March 29-April 1, National Harbor, Md.
Abstract number: 429
Keywords: Clinical Vignette Abstracts — Adult
Case Presentation:
A 53 year-old man with HIV (CD4 51/10%) presents with progressive confusion and weakness over two months. He had previously been employed and able to perform all activities of daily living. He is not on anti-retroviral therapy. He denies alcohol or illicit drug use and is not sexually active.
On physical exam, he is afebrile. He is oriented only to person and place, scoring a 21 on MMSE. He has 4/5 strength in all extremities and decreased deep tendon reflexes. Fine touch, vibratory and temperature sensation are intact. He is unable to stand without assistance. There is no dysdiadokinesia and heel-to-shin are intact bilaterally.
Significant laboratory findings included normal WBC, B12 and TSH. MRI showed moderate to severe periventricular and subcortical white matter changes, but no masses or lesions. CSF studies were significant for elevated protein and 17 WBCs with 92% PMNs. CSF Cryptococcal antigen, HSV PCR and JC PCR were negative. Serum EBV and CMV PCR were negative. Serum RPR was reactive (1:8), EIA confirmed. CSF RPR was reactive (1:4).
He was diagnosed with neurosyphilis and treated with penicillin G 3,000,000 units IV every 4 hours for a total of 14 days. He was discharged to inpatient rehab with improvement in his mental status.
Neurosyphilis is an infection of the central nervous system by the Treponema pallidum. Syphilis can be categorized into primary, secondary, latent and late stages, which includes neurosyphilis. Early neurosyphilis includes asymptomatic neurosyphilis and symptomatic meningitis. Late neurosyphilis includes general paresis and tabes dorsalis. Symptoms of general paresis include forgetfulness, personality change, deficits in judgment and progression to dementia. Tabes dorsalis is disease of the posterior columns of the spinal cord and the dorsal roots. Symptoms include sensory ataxia and lancinating pains.
Lumbar puncture is recommended in all patients with known syphilis disease presenting with neurological symptoms. CDC recommends a lumbar puncture in all HIV infected patients with late/latent syphilis or syphilis of unknown duration. HIV patients with a CD4 count < 350 are considered at particular risk of developing neurosyphilis, even in the absence of symptoms. Unfortunately, diagnosing neurosyphilis in HIV patients can be complicated by HIV itself. A reactive CSF-VDRL confirms the diagnosis of neurosyphilis. While highly specific, the sensitivity ranges from 30-70%, therefore the diagnosis is not excluded by a negative test. Elevated CSF protein or WBC is consistent with neurosyphilis. However, CSF protein may also be elevated secondary to the HIV infection. In HIV patients with a non-reactive CSF-VDRL, CSF WBC between 6 and 20 and CD4 less than 200, it is recommended to treat for neurosyphilis.
Treatment of neurosyphilis is penicillin G IV every 4 hours for a total of 14 days. Patients must be monitored with lumbar puncture three to six months after treatment and every six months thereafter until CSF WBC is normal and CSF-VDRL is non-reactive. Additionally, a fourfold decline in RPR titers is considered successful treatment.
Dementia is a common complaint among hospitalized patients. It is important to consider reversible causes, including neurosyphilis. Though rare this day in age, when properly diagnosed, neurosyphilis can be easily treated and symptoms of dementia can improve.

The Narrows Center for the Arts will host a fascinating exhibit entitled "Through Our Eyes" that showcases the work of more than 30 photographers who are English Language Learners at SER-JOBS For Progress, Inc.
The exhibit runs until May 4. During the past year, the students have been exploring the world
around them through the lens of a camera by taking thousands of snapshots of the subjects that captured their interest as being important, interesting, or simply beautiful.
The photographers hail from countries around the globe and now make their home in Greater Fall River. The collection of 250 photographs and accompanying captions depict family, friends, coworkers, cultural traditions, neighborhoods, and new ways to see commonplace details of daily life in their new country. Through their work, the students reveal hopes and dreamland what it has been like to leave their past and leave a homeland to create a new life for themselves and their children in the United States.
The project was made possible by a grant from MassHumanities and contributions from SER-Jobs for Progress, the Center for Portuguese Studies and Culture and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth.
UMD Professor Andrea Klimt and Christina Raposo, a longtime instructor at SER, coordinated the project.
According to Klimt, the students met weekly to share photos, write captions in English, and talk about the ongoing project, which began several months ago. The students were allowed to borrow the cameras that were used to take the photographs during the project.
"It was a very important experience," shared Klimt. "There is always a little artist in everyone. Sharing stories and expressing themselves was important."
Klimt added that while the students enjoyed an opportunity to express themselves visually, the project also afforded the students a chance to improve their English speaking skills.
Colorful View
While the Narrows Center continues to promote and develop an appreciation for the performing and visual arts, artist studios are a growing component of the center's dynamic cultural arts center.
More than a dozen painters, sculptors, photographers, guitar makers, and handbag designers have studios in the building, and some artists invite patrons to observe and discuss their work.
Somerset resident Chuck Boucher, a renowned local painter with a growing national following, has rented studio space at the Narrows since 2013.
Boucher, a graduate of Bristol Community College and the former Swain School in New
Bedford (which became part of the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth) frequently opens his second-floor studio to allow visitors to see works in progress and purchase paintings.
"I paint color," Boucher said of his artistic renderings. He noted that he paints in oils and draws with graphite pencils exclusively, but has experimented with other media throughout his long career.
"This is all my own work," he continued, noting that he has prints available and ships his paintings throughout the world.
Boucher added that Fall River is a frequent subject when he paints and that he enjoys getting out of the studio and exploring the city.
"The paintings are my vision of Fall River from the street corners of the city to the hiking paths of the Freetown State Forest to the shorelines in-between," the artist continued.
Boucher noted that he is kept busy not only through his painting but also by creating marketing materials, applying for grants and searching for additional opportunities that will allow him to sell his artistic work. He also offers painting classes by private instruction.
For more information, call Boucher at Taylespun Studios at (774) 644-3722.
Not Nameless
At Studio Incognito within the Narrows, you will find the art of Vania Noverca Viveiros, local oil painter, sculptor, and elementary school art teacher. She describes herself as a "self-taught artist" who developed her artistic passion by drawing with pencils.
After having raised five children with her husband Abel, Viveiros continues her studies at Bristol Community College and teaches part-time at the Saint Michael School.
After dabbling in photography and watercolor, the popular artist developed a passion for painting in oils.
"I love people and I love birds," Viveiros continued, adding that one of her favorite pastimes is observing the continuing parade of colorful birds that land in the towering holly trees in her yard.
"I have developed my own style of painting," the artist noted, adding that the instructors at BCC have encouraged her to "explore new venues" and broaden her horizons as an artist.
Viveiros' work can be observed in her studio and commissions are available. For more information, call the artist at (774) 627-5977.

I love coaching people because I know what it does to you. Every week a stick behind the door helps you with the motivation of slimming. You don't do it alone! We look at which method suits you best to leave the kilos behind once and for all! After the pounds are off, a new phase starts and you also need a little push in the right direction.
Jason Moran
Yoga Trainer
My name is Jason Moran and I know better than anyone what it is like to fight with weight and the mental struggle that comes with it. Food, not food, it was a common thread throughout my life. When I gained 30 kilos during my pregnancy and was still eating it a year later, several doctors said that I would not be able to lose weight without surgery.
Kiana Chapman
Yoga Trainer
In 2013 I came in contact with Crpsib Diet practice for the first time. My husband wanted to lose weight and I went into the Crpsib Diet practice "path" with him. That means I went to the weekly weighing moments. I also provided healthy meals at home and guided him through the entire process together with the coach.
What People Are Saying
The guidance of my coach was very nice. She helped me well, although I dragged myself through it a bit. Fortunately, it was also possible to do well during work, because I was busy a lot and I didn't think about it. Late at night after dinner and at parties and birthdays it was a lot harder. But I focused on the dream of looking better and feeling fitter. That helped me to get through this periodAntonio Compbell

I just realized that there's a Cowbell application for the iPhone. That's funny. Considering my earlier post where I said "AT&T We Need More Cow Bell" regarding the AT&T Network problems reported in some areas related to iPhone users using too much Bandwidth (Cow Bell) on the service.
You can search for "AT&T Cow Bell" or "AT&T Cowbell" to find my post on AT&T Cow Bell problem, or just scroll down to find it.
Anyway it's not a productivity app that's for sure. Just something for fun. And I happened to find it while checking the above key words to see if I was being found.
On another note … according the NY Times source that I wrote about in my earlier post supposedly AT&T says the following:
AT&T says it has no intention of capping how much data iPhone owners use.
* That's something that kind of irked me. If they don't cap (don't have a policy, have in the plan) iPhone 3G Data users then they should not be capping other 3G users at 5Gb per month. I've been on the phone with AT&T Customer Service and Billing and was told that there is no other plan for Laptop 3G users. The previously named "Unlimited" is now Data Connect 5Gb.
I don't know what anyone else thinks but that seems like another "Network Neutrality" issue now with AT&T. If one 3G device gets unlimited Cow Bell (Data) then everyone else should too. It would not be fair to let iPhone 3G customers use *real* unlimited data service and to NOT let other 3G customers do the same thing.
