Sorry its been a while but I've been busy plucking grey chest hairs and applying special creams to parts of my body.
First off, happy 43rd birthday to the most perfect woman on the planet, Charlize Theron.
It has been the summer of change in Toronto sports so I thought I would weigh in since everyone loves hearing what I have to say…(cue crickets).
When Masai Ujiri fired Dwayne Casey in May after leading the Raptors to their best regular season in franchise history, it was a shockingly bold move. Especially since, two days earlier, he was named Coach of the Year by the other NBA coaches. Over the years I have learned to step out of my fan shoes and into my perspective boots to examine moves like this. From that angle I could understand what he was doing, he wanted a new and younger voice to take a run with basically the same core of players. He also did not want to extend a 61-year old head coach who, while being a great basketball man and great leader, had issues adapting his defensive system on the fly as we all saw in the playoffs. My immediate response to the firing was that I was fine with it but since it was such a bold move, I thought the new coaching hire needed to be as bold. I was hoping to hear the names Dan Majerle or Bobby Hurley in the interview process, both former players with experience as NBA assistants and current NCAA head coaches (Hurley even finished his playing career in Vancouver so has an idea of the Canadian landscape). When after a month, Nick Nurse was announced I was underwhelmed. While I have no issue with him getting a shot as a head coach (he has certainly earned it), I was looking for an earth rattling choice. I figured with a low-key coaching hire, Masai and Bobby Webster had to be working the phones to make a major acquisition because I did not believe for a second that the current roster could stand, even with LeBron off in La-La Land. There had been some internet rumours from the media about Toronto being the dark horse to get Kawhi but while I was exercising cautious optimism, I have also learned that where there is smoke, there is likely someone leaking lighter fluid. When I heard the trade happened two things crossed my mind: Demar is going to have a broken heart and WE GOT KAWHI!!!! While I love Demar's passion, heart and loyalty to this franchise and city, he is a fraction of the player that Kawhi Leonard has shown he can be. Being a 4-time All-Star means you are popular with the fans, not a great player. Kawhi is a 2-time Defensive Player of the Year as well as the 2014 NBA Finals MVP. He has a ring! This is redemption for the horrible trade made by Rob Babcock when he got a bag of balls and a water bottle for Vince Carter. With Kawhi and Danny Green replacing Demar and Jakob on the roster, this team is legitimate. If Kawhi decides to re-sign, it is a move of epic proportion and if he leaves, we start over. Either way, Demar was never going to lead a team to a championship. Playing for Pop in San Antonio, he will be second fiddle to LaMarcus Aldridge and playing in a system that is proven to win. I hope the best for Demar and if Kawhi doesn't lead the Raps to a championship, I am pulling for the Spurs to dethrone the Warriors in the west.
In 2012, the Blue Jays were in a bad spot. John Farrell had decided to ditch the team to go manage the Red Sox and it was only slightly less embarrassing then the team's 20-year absence from the playoffs. To pull attention off of those two things, then-GM Alex Anthopoulos decided to pull the trigger on a couple of major trades. He brought Mark Buehrle, Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson and Emilio Bonifacio to the team for a group of players and prospects led by Yunel Escobar and Henderson Alvarez, then in another deal I immediately hated, flipped Noah "Thor" Syndergaard, Travis d'Arnaud and a couple more prospects to the Mets for RA Dickey and Josh Thole. The Jays were immediately talked about in the media as the favourite to win the East (even S.I. picked them) but the biggest shock came shortly after when John Gibbons was (re) named manager of the team. Vividly remembering his run from 2004-2008, I could not think of a worse hiring. I thought he was a hot-headed cartoon character (specifically Boomhauer from King of the Hill) and the disastrous 2013 season seemed to have proved me right. The thing about Gibby is that he had changed and over the past five years, I have grown to love the guy. He's a smart baseball man and while slightly old school, he has learned about analytics and tried to progress his knowledge. Plus, he is hilarious. If you've ever watch one of his post game media scrums, you know what I mean. Normally, sitting at his desk, leaning back in his chair, occasionally an empty beer bottle in the background and always a funny anecdote about his managing skills. So, while in the final year of his deal but presently still the manager, it has been slightly annoying to hear the media (especially Jeff Blair, who I loathe) talk about who the next manager will be and if he needs to be fluent in Spanish (?) Let the guy finish his employment before you start speculating! We all know he is likely gone by the end of the season and with the team rebuilding, how is it productive to speculate about a job that is not vacant yet? Gibby deserves the respect of finishing out his contract on his own terms. He has earned that with the runs in 2015 and 2016. He is not to blame for the massive injuries to Tulo, Donaldson, Sanchez and Travis or the lack of prospects in the system prior to 2017 when Anthopoulos purged the system to get some of those guys. He has done the best he can with what he's been given so before we start naming a successor, let the guy finish his term.

text: Innovation: Thinking Creatively, Embracing Change Share Change really is the new normal in our fast paced world. For example, two years ago, not many people were familiar with a wireless exercise band. And yet recently, one of Apple's hottest new items of the season was announced as the Apple Watch, their version of this new "must-have" electronic gadget, with even more added features than just health data. While writing this blog, I went on their website to figure out why so much hype surrounds this new tech gadget – and now I think I want one. Getting ahead and staying ahead requires an organization to not only envision upcoming changes, but to respond quickly in order to outsmart the competition and to serve valued clients and customers. Thriving companies must have their team members' attention and be able to communicate clearly so they can easily transform and adapt to change. Imagine what it must be like within Apple, which employs nearly 100,000 people, first just recognizing that these wireless bands would be the next iPad, then designing their version, and then enabling its production and distribution, all before 2015. Their culture has to encourage their team members to think outside the box and to accept that change is a normal part of their operation. The jury is still out on whether the Apple Watch will in fact be the next iPad, but Apple is "all in" on this new product as it prepares for production and seeks to convince its customer base that they need this new toy. DHG might not be a technology company, but our need for innovation, the ability to think creatively and to embrace change, is no different. Our clients look to us to solve their biggest problems and to help them anticipate what's next. Our team members' lives and career interests are constantly changing, and they expect DHG to change with them. What worked one or two years ago for our people and our clients may not work in the future. There is no part of our organization or our client base that is immune from the threat, and the opportunity, of change. In order for us to continue to thrive, we must keep our eyes open to these changes and be willing to adapt: to be resourceful. For these reasons, one of DHG's core values is Innovation: the ability to think creatively and to embrace change. This week our Partners will gather for the annual Partners meeting, and our theme will be Innovation. We will share how Innovation impacts every part of our strategy and how important it is to our people and our clients. While we do not know what the future will hold, we do have the confidence that we can face it together as a team. Through Innovation, we can continue to build valuable careers for our people and help our clients achieve their goals. Updated: October 21, 2014 Share

Finance Tutors For San Diego, CA.
Our firm hires only qualified finance tutors to help students with their finance homework. A common reason for seeking out our services is related to helping students better understand specific finance topics. This service is especially in demand in the San Diego, CA., Chula Vista, CA., La Mesa, CA., El Cajon, CA. and Escondido, CA. areas. For example, some finance teachers will lecture on the definition and characteristics of stocks in one meeting. Then cover information related to bonds in another session. However, for finance homework, our finance tutors have found that instructors will often ask students to compare and contrast the two topics.
When faced with this type of finance assignment, our finance tutors often recommend starting this type of discussion with tax implications. To illustrate, bonds are often taxed at a personal income tax, usually around 35%. In contrast, stock sales are often taxed at a capital gains rate of closer to 15%. From this, our finance tutors are able to show a stark contrast between the two investment strategies. For other assistance on a topic, contact whatever financed tutors today.

Benefits of Finance Homework Help.
One thing the finance tutors can promise students is that they will face a multitude of financial equations in their class. Because of this, finance students often shut down and have a hard time learning. To mitigate the situation, our finance tutors have become proficient in breaking down complex equations into simple understandable parts. For example, a stressful equation, in finance courses is the net impact of corporate and personal taxes on the value of a company. This equation alone consists of six different variables. However, with our finance tutors, we first start to dissect this equation by identifying and defining each variable. By understanding the components of an equation, students are able to grasp the importance of the answer.
Benefits of using our Finance Tutoring
Finance tutors have worked with a multitude of students in different schools and with different types of finance courses. A common topic that often comes up in our tutoring sessions is related to the weighted average cost of capital. This concept is often difficult for finance students because of the various calculations involved with the formula. The formula is as follows:
Weighted average cost of capital = cost of debt * (1 – Tax rate) + Weigh of equity * Cost of equity.
In this formula, students just need to follow the step-by-step how to break procedure to calculating the answer. For assistance with this process, make sure to contact one of our finance tutors for help.
Benefits of using our Finance Project Help
Finance projects sometimes requires an Excel template. Other finance assignments require a case study to be done. Still further, some finance assignments require both in the same damn assignment. Regardless as to whether your case study requires an Excel template or not, our finance tutors are well prepared to help you either develop a template or find a template online. As always, just give us a call for assistance. We be delighted to help.

Students give pointers on design at the Woodson Art Museum
on Tuesday,March 22,2011 21:03
Design as an art and also as a utility will be showcased this week at the Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin. Two students from the University of Wisconsin-Madison will be teaching other degree seekers and museum patrons exactly what goes into creating beautiful and useful furniture, according to the Wausua Daily Herald.
Paul J. Lorenz, 27, and Yu-Nung Lin, 26, will demonstrate how to use computer programs and detailed instructions to create furniture. They will exhibit a hands-on approach to engage the students.
The pair will showcase their unique abilities in an attempt to keep other future designers open-minded and creative.
"My own (design) philosophy is that things should be extremely specific," said Lorenz to the Herald. "People should be able to work with designers and architects to find absolutely customized solutions."
There are many future interior designers out there and a good amount of programs to choose from. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are more than 150 schools that offer interior design degree programs that have been approved by The Council for Interior Design Accreditation.

Many people asked: what is BCAAs(Branched-Chain Amino Acids)? and how does it work and benefit? Well, as a popular supplement in the bodybuilding and fitness communities, BCAAs exists for a good reason! After reading this article, you will be surprised why haven't you taken BCAAs before!
许多人会问:什么是BCAAs(支链氨基酸)? 它有什么样的作用以及对健身有什么好处? 支链氨基酸作为一种在健身行业很受欢迎的运动补剂,它的存在是有一定的道理的! 看完这篇文章,你会惊讶为什么以前没用过支链氨基酸 !
What's BCAAs? 什么是支链氨基酸
BCAAs, or branched-chain amino acids, are essential nutrients that the body obtains naturally from eating protein-rich foods, such as meat and dairy products. BCAA is primarily made up of the three amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Your body can make non-essential amino acids by itself from vitamins and other amino acids. So you need to get essential amino acids from somewhere else.
What's the benefits?有什么好处?
BCAA supplementation may be useful for gaining skeletal muscle (the kind that makes you swole), BCAAs are especially helpful for maintaining mass while on a calorie-deficit diet. They're particularly useful for bodybuilding competitors who take their physiques to the lean extreme. But how?
Increase Protein Synthesis促进肌肉合成
Branched-chain amino acids (which are the essential amino acids valine, isoleucine, and leucine) stimulate muscle protein synthesis, potentially more than a normal protein on its own. Protein synthesis is the metabolic process when your body makes new muscle protein, also known as gains.
Reduce Protein Breakdown减少肌肉分解
Increased BCAA levels also work in your favor by reducing the rate of protein breakdown. They do this by decreasing the activity of the protein breakdown pathway, and also by decreasing the expression of several complexes involved in protein breakdown. (They decrease the amount of mRNA produced from the gene that codes for these components.)
BCAAs And Whey支链氨基酸和乳清蛋白粉
Despite all these benefits of BCAA supplementation, there are many skeptics who say branched-chain amino acids are overpriced and you can just get them from whey protein. While proteins like whey are naturally rich in BCAAs, this isn't the most effective strategy for muscle growth or fat loss.
The BCAAs in whey are peptide-bound to other amino acids. In order to raise BCAA levels in your body, they must be liberated through digestion and then absorbed into the bloodstream. Even though whey protein is relatively fast digesting, it still takes several hours for all the amino acids to be broken down and absorbed into the plasma.
How BCAAs works支链氨基酸如何起作用
Branched-chain amino acids in supplement form, however, are free-form, require no digestion, and are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. They spike blood amino acid levels more quickly and to a much greater extent than peptide-bound aminos in proteins. Even a few grams of free-form BCAAs will spike BCAA plasma levels way more than 30 grams of whey protein. They can start working right away.
Whether your goal is muscle building or weight loss, supplementing with branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) can support the metabolic processes that make it happen. They can also make your gym workouts more effective.
You can get these amino acids from foods, but dietary BCAAs won't hit your blood plasma as fast as BCAA supplements. Add a BCAA supplement to your routine! You can take it before, after, and/or during your workout. You can also sip on these amino acids between meals to stay in an anabolic state as much as possible.
So that's why we always say that Whey protein and BCAAs are perfect pair for people who what to achieve certain goals, especially for beginners. BCAAs would be effective either you want to lose weight or gain muscles. If you haven't tried any BCAAs, what are you waiting for?

The results of the annual Marketing/Leger Corporate Reputation Survey are in the just-released May 20 issue of Marketing. The Top 100 list, plus more brand success stories can be found on newsstands now. And if you're a Marketing subscriber, you can always check out the latest issue on your iPad.
Grand & Toy has spent the last five years repositioning itself from an office supplies company to an end-to-end provider of business solutions, serving small- to medium-sized companies. This year, those efforts appear to have paid off as evidenced by the company's leap up the Marketing/Leger Corporate Reputation Survey rankings from No. 120 to No. 63 – the largest jump of any brand on the list.
But now the 130-year old Grand and Toy brand is undergoing a major overhaul. The parent company is embracing a bigger-is-better positioning and rebranding as OfficeMax Grand & Toy. Kevin Edwards, vice-president, marketing OfficeMax U.S. and Canada and Jeff Hayward, GM, marketing for OfficeMax Grand & Toy, told Marketing about the company's rise in the survey, the steps it's taking to meet consumer needs in-store and why promoting the North American reach of the brand is a good thing for Canadian customers.
Grand & Toy did well on this year's list, jumping 57 spots, but, at 63 on the list, you can argue there's still a lot of work to be done. How will you maintain this momentum?
Edwards: We're just going to continue to do what we think is the right thing and that is to understand our customers needs and the evolution of procurement within small, medium and large organizations and build our business around their needs.
Hayward: We are solely focused on making sure that the North American proposition is reflected in the experiences our customers get. That's why we rebranded as OfficeMax Grand & Toy. We're looking at our supply chain, we're looking at our dot-com processes, we're looking at the customer experience in the multiple channels to make sure that we deliver a better experience. The ways you do that is giving a nod to the customer that they're dealing with a large global organization that can deliver value to them.
OfficeMax has been the parent company of Grand & Toy for more than 16 years. Why wait so long to rebrand?
Edwards: It's really about our customers and how are customers have evolved. As North American consolidation has occurred they've been looking for North American partners and presenting ourselves as a Canadian brand and a U.S. brand doesn't [send] the message to our customers as a unified solution for them.
Hayward: When you look at the landscape in Canadian business 20-25 years ago when big U.S. brands came into our marketplace, both consumers and businesses had perhaps a degree of discomfort or weren't sure what that meant. Fast forward to 2013 and it's become a global marketplace. Nobody sees a global or North American unified brand as a bad thing. And so for a lot of our customers, what they expect, what they want to get out of the relationship and benefits from dealing with us is the fact they're getting a cost effective solution, they're getting innovation and they're getting efficiencies in the supply chain and the way we deliver the product to them.
Will you be changing storefronts?
Edwards: Not in the short term. One thing you will see is the incorporation of OfficeMax private label products in the stores. We've always referenced OfficeMax, it didn't just arrive as part of our logo, it's been there for a long time and that's how we're going to approach the retail environment for now.
Hayward: We've used green for many years, in fact I think the green goes back to 1882, the beginning of the founding of the company by Grand and Toy and so what we are doing at a corporate level in Canada is retiring the green and the G&T ball so that globally we have one consistent orange and black colour scheme. What that has meant in the last month or so with the brand changeover in Canada is that we've re-skinned our website, which is OfficeMaxCanada.com. We've also updated business cards, email signatures—all the brand collateral and the basic brand elements. The OfficeMax private label will be introduced this spring, but our retail offering will continue to be the well-known green, but over time you will see us introduce the OfficeMax orange and black into the stores.
Won't consumers find this confusing?
Edwards: No I don't think so. I think the fact that corporately it's OfficeMax Grand & Toy and we're intentionally not making Grand & Toy go away because of its legacy, I think within the retail environment introducing OfficeMax is a net gain. At least for the foreseeable future we don't see that being a problem for us.
What consumer-facing campaigns have you launched in the last year?
Hayward: We recently launched a very comprehensive customer loyalty program for small businesses but also for walk-in traffic and consumers who are account holders at Grand & Toy and want to take advantage of it. It's called Max Perks, which gives 5% back on purchases and encourages our customers to continue encourage repeat shopping, but also it's a way of giving back to them for their loyalty.
How has OfficeMax Grand & Toy adapted to meet the needs of business forced to cutback in a soft economy?
Edwards: Our value proposition is streamline and really what that represents is cost savings, efficiency and controlling. That is the perfect match for the economic times and that is what senior procurement professionals, it's what CFOs, it's what large enterprise organizations are looking for. They want to control costs, they want to ensure that by dealing with one single provider it will allow for efficiency in their own supply chain and also having a provider or having a organization deliver unique ways to manage the officer product spend within their organization.
Check out our full report on the Marketing/Leger Corporate Reputation Survey in the May 20 issue of Marketing, on newsstands now and available on the iPad newsstand to subscribers.

Nifty spot opened at 9086.85 , made a low of 9075.50 , it then went up till 9106.55 before closing at 9084.80 . Had mentioned that long positions can be taken above 9125 and short positions can be taken below 9050 for the day . Nifty traded in a narrower range without triggering any trade for the day .
Nifty had triggered our weekly long trade in the previous session and further up move was to be confirmed above 9120 . Nifty made a high of 9122.75 but could not sustain above 9120 to move up higher . We may see a better move if Nifty now breaks and sustain above 9125 - 9140 zone in the coming session . In the previous session Nifty had broken out of the range of 8790 - 9020 on the upside and has been sustaining it .
Have been mentioning since November that ' A deeper downmove can be expected on a consecutive close below 7895 ' and we had seen Nifty make a low of 7893.80 in the last week of December. Nifty has gained nearly 1200+ points after holding the cbsl of 7895 till now. Those who are holding longs should move up their cbsl to 8952 spot for their positions .
Now for this week Nifty Spot needs to break and sustain above 9020 for long confirmation, then we can expect a move till 9065 - 9100 initially and closing above 9120 we can expect the next move till 9190 - 9265 . Similarly this week Nifty spot needs to break and sustain below 8898 for short confirmation, then we can expect a move till 8875 - 8859 initially and closing below 8849 we can expect a further move till 8816 - 8780 . Today Nifty confirmed our weekly longs and further upmove for this week will come on breaking and sustaining above 9120 now.
For the month of March we can expect uptrend in Nifty spot on a consecutive closing above 8966 and downtrend on a consecutive closing below 8793 . In February had mentioned 8696 closing as the long confirmation level for Nifty and we saw a move of 275+ points after Nifty gave a consecutive close above the monthly long confirmation level .

Ant McPartlin's Wife Believes She Could Have 'Saved' Trouble Presenter Before Arrest
Ant McPartlin's estranged wife has apparently been left 'distraught' by the TV presenter being charged with drink driving after he apparently lost control of his car crashing into two other cars last Sunday afternoon.
Lisa Armstrong who works as a makeup artist on Strictly Come Dancing, Piers Morgan's Life Stories and Britain's Got Talent, was spotted out for the first time on Wednesday at the ITV studios where she was doing the makeup for the BGT stars.
The Sun has reported that Lisa has been left very upset over the crash and the drink driving and she believed she could have saved the accident from happening.
A close friend of lisa has told the Sun:
"Lisa really thinks she could have helped to save him.
"She's been upset watching on from afar and thinks she might be able to get him through the situation."
Such a shame.

Friends of Sky Footwear,
My name is Pat McNamara, and I had the privilege of being a part of Sky Footwear's team over the past few months. Keaton and Eric approached me in early April, and my first responsibility was choosing a homeless shelter. I've spent my entire life in the Chicago Suburbs, so I really wanted to use this opportunity to give back to a place close to the heart and home. After reviewing multiple homeless shelters in the area, we settled on Hesed House in Aurora, Illinois.
Hesed House is the second largest homeless shelter in Illinois, and its personal development and commitment to love is what really made it stand out. Hesed (translates from Hebrew as loving kindness) is committed to sheltering the area's homeless. This is done through its PADS program, which operates a system that connects over 70 faith-based institutions with local homeless. On top of this, they run over 10 programs in career, spiritual, or personal counseling for whole person development.
Throughout the month of June, I was overwhelmed with the support people had for Sky Footwear and our mission. Above all, two stories really encouraged me as we consider homelessness in Aurora. First, I was working a pop-up shop in downtown Aurora on First Fridays. An older woman loved Sky Footwear's buy one give one model, so she bought two pairs of socks; however, she left them on the table. I tracked her down to make sure she got them, but she had actually done this intentionally. She made me promise that the styles she bought went to the children at Hesed House (these are the two socks pictured).
It was heartwarming to see someone give so unselfishly. The second story happened when I stopped at a lemonade stand in the neighborhood. Two little girls were selling pink lemonade with all proceeds going to Hesed House. Later, I even saw them going door to door collecting for the same cause. I was inspired to see people so young fighting for such a noble reason, a reason bigger than themselves. While other kids play video games and tag, these girls are helping people take the next step in their life.
Overall, I'm incredibly thankful for the opportunity to donate over 450 pairs of socks to Hesed House. They received the donation with smiles, joy, and thankfulness. I know none of this would have been possible without the support and loyalty of our Sky Footwear customers, so I thank you all.

Paris (AFP) – Veteran French international defender Patrice Evra signed for Marseille on Wednesday on a free transfer from Juventus on an 18-month contract, the Ligue 1 club announced.
The 35-year-old left-back, who had been linked with a return to Manchester United, underwent a medical after being released from the last six months of his contract at Italian champions Juventus.
Evra wil be officially unveiled at a news conference on Thursday night alongside Marseille president Jacques-Henri Eyraud and sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta.
Quizzed earlier Wednesday about Evra, attacking Marseille midfielder Remy Cabella told reporters: "I know Evra well from the French team, he's a captain who binds the group together and talks a lot so it would be good for us and the club if he comes, he's a great player."
Evra left French football in 2006 to move from Monaco to Manchester United, before making the move to Juventus.
He has played 81 times for the French national team and featured in five Champions League finals, winning one with United in 2008.
Evra is also a five-time Premier League winner and had two championship medals with Juventus in Serie A.
"His age is irrelevant," added Cabella. "This weekend we will play Montpellier and they have my friend Hilton who is 39. He still does a hell of a job and is having a great season.
"18 or 39 — it's all about performing on the pitch."

Smart Thinking: Kid Swallows Dog Toy, Squeaks When He Breathes
This is a video of young Anthony in the emergency room after swallowing his dog's squeaky toy. Now he squeaks. But not puberty squeaks, dog toy squeaks. How the hell a kid his age even swallows a dog toy is beyond me, but I suspect it has something to do with Anthony being the absolute worst at playing fetch. Dammit, you're supposed to throw the toy, Anthony, not inhale it. I swear, kids these days -- I'm really concerned about our hope for the future. "Didn't you have to go to the ER when you were a kid for getting a bunch of LEGO minifig heads stuck up your nose?" That was different, that was a bet and I won.
Keep going for a video of young Squeaky McSqueakerson doing his thing. Also, his mom sounds surprisingly calm for a woman who just realized her son might have less sense than the dog.
Thanks to MSA, Zootghost and E.V.I.L.A.R.E.S., all of whom I suspect have eaten catnip toys looking for a buzz but are too embarrassed to admit it. It's cool, guys, I'm part of that club.

It's a scary statistic: About 40% of people who lose weight gain it all back within a year. But Cornell University in the US has hit on a jaw-droppingly simple way to keep that flab from doubling back: weigh yourself each day and keep track of the results.
At the end of the first year, both groups had lost close to the same weight (about 5 percent). But the big shock came in the second year: Only the scale group kept the kilos off—a feat almost unheard of in weight-loss programs.
Daily weighing "counteracts the food cues in our environment," says study VIP Dr Carly Pacanowski. Sure, it's a pain in the arse (less so if you buy a Tanita RD-953 body composition monitor, which connects your mobile device to the scale using the Tanita Health Planet app). But wouldn't you rather face the truth when you're standing on a scale than when you're trying to zip up the pants you're supposed to wear to the wedding?
Tanita have the best range of scales and body composition monitors on the market, giving anyone involved in healthy lifestyles tools that will assist in achieving their personal fitness goals.

"Besides, the characters in my books are much more interesting than the assholes around me." (6)
Lila Mitchell is your typical introverted college student, who evades large groups and prefers the company of paperbacks. Already I like the girl and can relate!
"Rain and dark clouds call for a good book and a warm blanket." (24)
Cornered by a peppy gal, she reluctantly agrees to attend a party, where she meets the "blond Adonis" Cade whom she pawns off on a friend so she could sneak off and escape into her book once again. Again, my kind of girl. Lila is a smart and witty loner and happy to be.
Of course, sometimes she wondered if she'll ever find someone. According to her: "I'm easily annoyed, my standards are high, and I have trouble connecting with people." (23) Mmm, that might be my problem as well.
Very relatable! Lila endures the stamina of a young, single woman with humor and grace.
Then…along comes Xavier, owner of the most exclusive night club in Vegas, a man that ignites a fire within the little book worm. For the first time ever, Lila loses the librarian's bun and lets her hair down, but still is able to maintain her dignity and self-respect.
Even though Xavier is a rich and handsome man, both he and Lila seemed like total opposites—like night and day, fire and water. At first, they didn't seem compatible, but then opposites attract, right? The challenges that bestow the loving couple make for a scintillating read.
Full of Fire is a well-written and fun romance that will light a spark in readers.
My rating: 4 stars

The National Flooring Centre (NFC) has over 25 years' experience in the flooring industry and over that time has built up an extensive knowledge of flooring that they pass on to their customer base.
The NFC offers a huge range of flooring for both the domestic and commercial sectors including Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT), sheet and tile vinyl, carpet, wood flooring, artificial grass and hygienic cladding. With their extensive range of floor preparation materials, adhesives and tools the NFC has everything a customer would need to get the right finish from the start.
In order to engage new markets and to enter new markets across the country. The NFC wanted to commission an agency with first class development skills as well as the depth of resource to also provide support, hosting and digital marketing expertise.
The challenge was to set up a 'greenfield' web presence from scratch and to propel it forward using imaginative digital marketing techniques so it would achieve great rankings on Google whilst at the same time convert traffic that was generated when it landed on the site.
Seamless User Experience
The National Flooring Centre pride themselves on delivering excellent customer service while providing their customers with top quality flooring at competitive prices. The ecommerce website needed to reflect these values.
Magium's web developers designed and built a compelling and easy to navigate web platform that allowed the NFC to showcase its range of products. Created using Magento, the site allows users to select colours and textures as well as calculate how much flooring is required and quote directly.
As well as buying carpet, tiles, rugs and laminate the site also allows customers to request a free sample thus aiding conversion as the user is then confident to buy what are potentially big ticket flooring solutions.
Delivering a new website has transformed the NFC's business. It offers an ecommerce presence with cutting edge features and allows the NFC to engage with customers across the UK on desktop, mobile and tablet devices.
The site now attracts large volume of visitors and has seen online sales grow quickly on the back of digital marketing activity.

Dive Brief:
- More than a third of employers offer paid parental leave, a WorldatWork report shows. Survey of Paid Parental Leave in the United States found that employers offered the benefit despite the absence of a federal mandate.
- Most of the employers offering paid parental leave (78%) make it available to all workers. And nearly half make employees eligible on the day they're hired.
- More than half of employers (53%) mandate that workers take paid parental leave in the first year of parenthood.
Dive Insight:
As the report acknowledges, employee requests, public awareness and competition for talent have prompted many employers to offer paid parental leave.
Notably, more employers are allowing for a distinction between paid parental leave and other forms of leave, including family leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, shirt-term disability and paid time off. Parental leave is reserved for parents who are recovering from childbirth or who are adopting, bonding with or taking care of a child.
Employers that offer paid leave of any kind without being mandated to do so are responding to today's workers' needs for flexible work schedules and an increased call for diversity. Parental leave helps employees of all backgrounds, but it is especially important for keeping women in the workplace.

Custom made ballast bags / fat sacks
Hello ran a search but couldn't find much for here in Australia but can any one point me in the right direction on where I can get custom made fat sacks made up for my boat
Re: Custom made ballast bags / fat sacks
Might be an expensive option but you can order custom bags from Wakemakers in the US
https://www.wakemakers.com/wakemakers-c ... -bag.html/
Re: Custom made ballast bags / fat sacks
These guys in Brisbane make flexible water tanks/sacks.
I bought one of the standard off the shelf ones and got them to re-weld it to my exact dimension I think for an extra $50 to fit under a false floor in my 4WD.
This is the way I would be going if I needed custom sacks, they are probably 50% thicker/stronger than the fat sacks I have. They also can make custom ones from scratch and post Australia wide.
These prices on gumtree include postage.

BREAKING: Bitcoin price increases by more than 14 percent!
Last Friday the first signals popped up already, bitcoin crossed an important trend line that has been present since 2018. The bitcoin price was fluctuating within a so-called channel for quite some time, but those days seem to be over for now.
The price has increased by more than 14 percent in merely one hour. It even briefly reached the price mark of 4.500 euros and now seems to stabilize around 4.200 euros. Where did this sudden increase come from?
Bitcoin crossed a trendline
The graph below shows the bitcoin price along with that trend line we've already discussed. What has happened so far?
- Friday the first signals of an increase appeared, that's when bitcoin broke through the trendline.
- After that, the price was testing the trendline. This means that the price keeps bouncing on the line, but doesn't drop below it.
- The test has been successful: the price found enough support for this price level and increased up to 4.500 euros in just one hour.
A quick zoom in: was it a short squeeze?
Below you will see an even clearer image of bitcoin testing the trendline. Bitcoin touched the line twice before it increased even more. But the increase happened very rapidly, that's why we think a short squeeze took place.
Just like with other financial products, you can speculate on the bitcoin price. A trader could speculate that the bitcoin price will rise which is called a 'long position', or drop which is called a 'short position'. When a price is on the rise, traders usually 'go short'. They are expecting that the price won't be increasing for long and speculate on a price drop.
If you go short, you promise to purchase bitcoin for a certain price. If the price keeps rising, these positions are automatically closed. When a lot of short positions are closed at the same time of: a lot of bitcoin are bought simultaneously which leads to a price increase.
It looks like this has happened now:
The Moving Average as support
A short squeeze doesn't have to be a bad thing. It could be that bitcoin just needed a nudge in the right direction. To understand this better we will look at the Moving Average.
A Moving Average(MA) takes the average price over a certain period of time. An often used Moving Average is a 200-days MA as sort of a dynamical trendline. This is shown in the graph below.
- In 2018 bitcoin didn't manage to surpass the 200-days MA. The line formed a strong resistance.
- Now the price has surpassed the MA for the first time in over a year. If bitcoin stays above this line this could be a very positive signal.
What will the bitcoin price do?
Like always, we will describe two possible scenarios: Bullish (positive) and Bearish (negative).
If the price continues to increase there is an important resistance point ahead. This zone used to be a steady support zone in 2018: between 5.000 and 5.200 euros.
If the price increase doesn't pull through, it is expected the resistance point of last week will be the new support this week. This means the price will find support again between 3.600 and 3.800 euros.

Eco-Sensitive Zones (ESZs) or Ecologically Fragile Areas (EFAs) are areas notified by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC), Government of India around Protected Areas , National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries. The purpose of declaring ESZs is to create some kind of "shock absorbers" to the protected areas by regulating and managing the activities around such areas. They also act as a transition zone from areas of high protection to areas involving lesser protection.

Bill Spadea: Why NJ shouldn't worry about Christie not being here
Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno was in studio this morning to talk about how NJ is prepping for the winter storm.
During and after the segments, I received some Tweets from listeners stating that I should've asked the Lt. Gov. why Governor Christie didn't feel it would be necessary to return to NJ for the storm.
NJ residents shouldn't be concerned with whether or not the governor is in the state or not. It is not the time to get on a political soap box about Gov. Christie, regardless of whether you're a fan or not. We need to know that the roads are prepped, the state has a plan to handle the storm and what we as NJ residents should do during the storm.
Listen to my entire rant

LEED IEQ Credit 3.2 Construction Indoor Air Quality Management Plan—Before Occupancy
Environmental Solutions, Inc. (ESI) staff of Council-Certified Indoor Environmentalists have the knowledge and expertise to review your project and perform the required testing. ESI utilizes an innovative, yet simple, and cost-effective approach to help achieve this important credit certification. ESI has been serving the DC Metropolitan area with environmental inspections and knowledge of building science for over 15 years.
What is LEED? LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is transforming the way we think about our indoor environments, where many people spend over 90% of their time. LEED provides building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance designs. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) in 2000, LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building project meets the highest green building and performance measures. There are environmental and financial benefits to earning LEED certification, including tax rebates, zoning allowances, and other incentives.
Benefits of LEED Certification:
- Green building is cost-effective
- Lower operating costs and increased asset value
- Conserve natural resources, lowering both utility bills and impact on the environment
- Healthier and safer for occupants
- Reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions
- Qualify for tax rebates, zoning allowances and other incentives
- Demonstrate an owner's commitment to environmental
stewardship and social responsibility
An important LEED certification credit for newly constructed or remodeled buildings is LEED IEQ 3.2. This certification's intent is to reduce indoor air quality (IAQ) problems resulting from construction or renovation to promote the comfort and well-being of construction workers and building occupants. LEED IAQ 3.2 credit requires an IAQ Management Plan, which can be achieved through one of two methods.
A flush-out of the building using the HVAC system can be performed or baseline indoor air quality (IAQ) testing can be used to demonstrate the contaminant maximum concentrations listed below are not exceeded:
ContaminantFormaldehydeParticulates (PM10)Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC)4-Phenylcyclohexene (4-PCH)Carbon Monoxide (CO)
|Maximum Concentration
|27 parts per billion (ppb)
|Particulates (PM10)
|50 micrograms per cubic meter
|Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC)
|500 micrograms per cubic meter
|4-Phenylcyclohexene (4-PCH)
|6.5 micrograms per cubic meter
|Carbon Monoxide (CO)
|9 part per million (ppm) and no greater than 2 ppm above outdoor levels

Local anglers gearing up for salmon season
Recommended Video:
BIG RAPIDS — Salmon movement into the rivers is still on the light side, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said, while adding that it won't be long before they start moving at a full pace.
The inland lakes are producing panfish, bass and pike, the DNR said, while adding that this weekend should have plenty of fishing opportunities.
"It's been slow," Ron Denslow of Central Michigan Outdoors of Mecosta said. "Guys are getting a few bluegills. But they have to work for them."
Other fishing reports have been favorable from spots such as Trigger Time Outfitters in Big Rapids and Frank's Sporting Goods in Morley. Bluegill fishing has been strong. One area sporting goods store reports walleye fishing is slow and bass is OK.
"Fishing is pretty good right now," Greg Schafer of Schafer's Sporting Goods in Weidman said. "Bluegill fishing and bass fishing is pretty good. It will get better in a couple of weeks when it cools off. That water is pretty warm right now."
Coldwater and Stephenson Lakes are among the spots in the Weidman area that have been producing fish, Schafer added.
"Martiny Lakes have been pretty good for bluegills, bass and pike," Schafer added.
Craig Walters of the Eyes Have It Fishing shop in LeRoy noted that anglers in the Wednesday Hog Hunters fishing club classic had success. The biggest bass caught out of Rose Lake was 5.48 pounds, along with 5.05 for second place. The biggest three fish combo was almost 15 pounds for an average of almost five apiece.
"It was a pretty good tournament," Walters said. "People are catching bluegills and there's a few walleye on Rose, but far and few between."
