Rent receipt template microsoft word
Basically you send a couple of letters over a couple of weeks and follow up with a newsletter monthly from then on. You're then brought to the letter itself and below that there's the choice to download it. Below you'll find a sample letter of the way to inform a monthly tenant which you are likely to increase their rent.
Legally, a landlord cannot deny an accommodation request if you experience an ESA letter. To begin with, you must tell your landlord without delay. There are a number of reasons for landlords to enter the actual estate investment organization, and there are equally as many reasons for them to exit it. No matter what, they must check out the laws and regulations that govern their state and follow the process to the letter in order to ensure that they are in compliance with every rule. Additionally, your landlord must use lead-safe practices in order to minimize the danger. Most landlords aren't big on pets.
If you like the apartment and the landlord picks you to be its new tenant, sign a rental agreement prior to making any payments. To be able to legally have a deposit from a tenant, the landlord must give a written checklist that details the states of the unit on day one of the tenancy. For example, he must allow you to have a service animal even if pets are not allowed. He cannot force you to accept unsafe or unfit housing. When landlords communicate nicely with tenants in residence, they're more likely to cooperate throughout the full procedure and donate to a thriving sale. There are sure steps landlords must follow to elevate the rent that are meant to help safeguard the tenant from ridiculous and unfair increases.
You don't understand what a buyer is going to do at a subsequent date, but there are a few assurances it's possible to provide your tenant right up front. Buyers aren't permitted to observe the interior of the home unless they have got an offer accepted by the seller. Other buyers might be people who need to reside in the property as their principal residence. Put simply, there might come a time where a property owner makes the decision to set a rental house on the marketplace and find a buyer. Every time a rental property owner decides to employ a property management firm to care for his tenants and property, informing the renters of the shift is a significant part of a smooth transition approach.
Be aware the bigger type for the very first letter creates an additional space between the initial and second line. A clear, concise and expert letter should produce the reviewer give more attention to your request. If you demand a reference letter for future properties, please allow me to know and I'll be delighted to provide one. A new landlord introduction letter is a fantastic approach to introduce yourself to your new tenants and produce the transition process smooth in their opinion.
For legal and practical reasons, you need to let your tenants know once you have resolved to elevate the rent so that they, then, can choose whether they'll be renewing. You will find Mr. Bhuiyan to be a rather respectable tenant, in case you choose to accept his application. You also need to reassure your tenants that their present-day lease agreement is going to be upheld. The tenant should agree to cooperate or the landlord is going to have a tough time showing the property properly. If he or she is cancelling because they have lost their job and won't be able to pay the rent, the Landlord will be a lot more understanding as they do not want to go through the eviction process in order to vacate the Tenant. In reality, if tenants really wished to, they could probably figure out plenty of techniques to discourage most buyers from making any type of offer. Remember, if you are in possession of a very good tenant with a problem you may deal with, consider mediation.
Renters must demonstrate a fantastic rental history. Frequently, tenants are given 30 days to repair the matter, at which point you're able to call off the eviction. The tenant must give the landlord a chance to inspect the job. Your tenant isn't very likely to get that sort of cash. In case it goes wrong, you can be stuck with a poor tenant for a lengthy moment. Over time, you've been the best tenant.
A notice of late rent letter does not need to be very detailed. One more thing you may want to put in your rent increase notice is your reason behind raising the rental volume. It will make it quick and painless for you to raise the rent.
Getting from a lease can be as simple as sending notice to the other party, for Month-to-Month Agreements for instance, and as hard as filing for an eviction in the event the tenant isn't cooperating. A notice to vacate is an official letter utilized by means of a tenant or landlord indicating that a home or apartment is going to be vacant. Eviction Notices and the eviction procedure can be challenging.

The interpretation of DAGs in terms of causality is not necessary for extracting meaningful conditional dependence relations from BNs. However, it is usually the causal interpretation that allows the structure of a BN to be drawn before explicitly consulting the relevant data. That is to say that the modeler, or an appropriate expert, can draw a BN based on straightforward, qualitative notions of cause and effect (which are the basic building blocks of scientific knowledge) without necessarily being fluent in probabilistic reasoning.
The interpretation of BNs in terms of causality also allows the model to easily represent and respond to external interventions or spontaneous changes in the system. Such adaptation is arguably a defining trait of ecological informatics tools. Any changes in the mechanisms of a system translate into minor modifications of the network structure. For example, to represent the installation of a mechanical aerator to artificially add oxygen to the water body modeled in Figure 1, we simply need to add a node representing the management of the aerator (O) with a link to hypoxia (H) and modify the conditional distribution of H to include the influence of O: P(h\a,o). If the aerator were managed in a way that responded to measured nutrient concentrations, then we would add a link between N and O and revise P(o\n). Such changes would be much more difficult to identify if the BNs were not constructed according to causal relations.
Specifying the structure of a BN can proceed most effectively by first identifying the key system variables to be modeled. In an ecological management context, this may involve detailed discussions with decision makers and other stakeholders to determine the variables that they would like to see predicted by the model. Ideally, these would consist of measurable quantities that indicate the degree to which a particular decision alternative fulfills their management objectives.
With these endpoints identified, it is then natural to proceed by identifying the nodes immediately preceding them in the causal chain, then the nodes preceding them, and so on, back to the primary causes representing model inputs. This might occur by consulting the relevant scientific literature or interviewing subject matter experts directly. However, caution should be exercised at this stage, as most experts usually have their own 'pet processes' that they would like to see included in a model representing their area of expertise. The inclusion of many variables and processes may, in principle, produce a more precise network. If the values of those variables and the parameters of the processes are well known, then other variables can be conditioned on them, thereby reducing uncertainty in model relationships. However, if the variables are stochastic or uncontrollable and must be described by marginal probability distributions themselves, then their explicit inclusion is not very useful and their effect can be subsumed by the conditional distributions. For example, a scientist studying algal growth might emphasize that the response of algae to a particular nutrient concentration will depend on the ambient light availability and therefore 'light' should be added as a node in Figure 1. However, if light is not a controllable factor and data are not available to estimate or predict light availability on a given day, then it may not be necessary to include it explicitly. Instead, the prediction for algal density (A) conditional on a given nutrient concentration (N) can simply be represented by a probability distribution, rather than a precise value, to account for the variability in A that is caused by variation in light (as well as any other disregarded factors). In other words, any factors not explicitly accounted for in a model become part of the unexplained variability, or model error, forming the conditional distributions. The unexplained variability associated with a variable X is sometimes included as an explicit disturbance term in the network indicated, for example, by a node labeled UX (Figure 2). Such nodes are also referred to as latent variables.
The decision about whether to include disturbance terms (or the influential, but omitted, variables whose influence they represent) explicitly or implicitly in a BN should be dictated by whether the resulting models satisfy the parental Markov property (see eqn [1]). Any causal diagram among system variables X that includes latent variables U and is acyclic leads to a semi-Markovian model, and the values of all variables X will be uniquely determined by the values of the variables U. Equivalently, the joint distribution of the variables, P(x1,..., x"), will be determined uniquely by the marginal distribution of the latent variables, P(u). The model is called Markovian if and only if, in addition to the model being acyclic, the disturbances represented by U are jointly independent. As proven by Pearl 2000, Markovian models induce distributions that satisfy the parental Markov property.
In practical terms, achieving a Markovian model involves: (1) being sure to explicitly include in the model any variable that is a causal parent of two or more other variables, and (2) assuming that if any two variables are correlated, then one is the cause of the other or there is a third variable causing both. These two assumptions imply that the disturbances are mutually independent and therefore the causal model is Markovian.
Having a Markovian model is important for a number of reasons. Most importantly, the relationships between variables in a Markovian model are guaranteed to be stable, meaning that they are invariant to changes in our knowledge about other variables in the model, as well as to parametric changes in the mechanisms governing the relationships themselves. This is because each parent-child relationship in a Markovian BN is assumed to represent an autonomous physical mechanism, independent of all other mechanisms (or disturbance terms resulting from omitted mechanisms) in the model.
Maintaining the Markov property as a constraint also determines the level of abstraction that is allowable for model construction. For example, if we start at one extreme, where all variables and processes are represented in microscopic detail, then the Markov property would certainly hold. If we then increase the level of abstraction by aggregating variables in space and time and representing stochasticity or missing factors by probability distributions (or hidden disturbance terms), we need some indication of when the abstraction has gone too far and the essential properties of causation are lost. The Markov property tells us that the set of parents PAj of a variable x; is too small if there are disturbance terms that influence two or more variables simultaneously. In such a case, the Markov property is violated. However, as shown by Pearl 2000, if such disturbances are treated as latent variables and represented explicitly as nodes in a graph, then the Markov property is restored.
The consideration of season (S) as an additional node in Figure 1 provides a relevant example of using the
Markov property to test whether a variable should be explicitly included in a model. Let us assume that we have already determined that season is an appropriate scale at which to capture the effects of light, temperature, and flow variation. We can then expect that season will have an influence on nutrient concentration (N), algal density (A), and hypoxia (H) by impacting physical and biological processes (Figure 3). As an attempt to further simplify, we may consider omitting season as an explicit variable. Since we cannot control its effects, it might be convenient to consider these effects part of the stochasti-city of the system and fold them into the probability distributions of N, A, and H. However, this would be a mistake, as N and H would then no longer be conditionally independent given A (they would be correlated through the effects of S), and therefore the Markov property would be violated. Therefore, S (or at least an equivalently connected latent variable) must be explicitly included in the model.
The requirement that Markovian models be acyclic may appear to be a significant limitation of BNs, for many natural systems are known to contain feedback loops. However, the apparent need to include cycles in a BN usually arises from overaggregation of variables in time or space. For example, in the system represented by Figure 1, the algal decay process that causes hypoxia would also release nutrients to the water column, which could promote further algal growth, inducing additional hypoxia. However, a network cycle is only necessary if the variables are defined on a temporal scale that is greater than the nutrient turnaround time. At smaller scales, cycles can be avoided by indexing variables to represent multiple points in time, so that a variable referenced at one time point can be connected to one referenced at another, rather than looping back on itself. Another option for avoiding cycles is to define variables to represent long-term equilibrium values, rather short-term responses. These issues will be discussed in more detail later in the section titled 'Dynamic models'.

Jet Ski is the brand name of a personal watercraft manufactured by Kawasaki. It was the "first commercially successful" personal watercraft in America, having been released in 1972. The term is sometimes used generically to refer to any type of personal watercraft. According to Jetski.com the first jet ski was invented by Clayton Jacobsen II of Arizona. It allowed a person to ski over the water without the use of a boat by way of jet propulsion, hence its name. Kawasaki was the first to mass produce the Jet Ski and named it such. Personal watercraft's aren't used for just personal use but are also used for competition as well. Kawasaki, Yamaha, Honda, Sea-Doo, and Polaris all have watercraft geared toward endurance racing, sprint racing, and Freestyle competitions. The big boom of these watercraft competitions was in the early 1990's after the creation of the sit-down watercraft. Dedicated to the well-being of our marine life and water safety, the personal watercraft industry has loaned more than 11,000 personal watercraft to federal, state and local agencies nationwide. Jet skis can serve as race machines in order to compete in tournaments and races. Jet skis can pull passengers behind them in a small inner tube or other floating device.

On the eve of casting of the first votes on Tuesday, the Greens have confirmed a deal with Labor to preference Labor candidates ahead of the Liberals or Nationals in most federal electorates.
Labor will suggest voters preference the Greens and other progressive parties ahead of Liberal and National candidates.
Labor has also revealed it will hand out open tickets in South Australia, potentially reducing the election prospects of Nick Xenophon Team candidates, tipped to win two Senate spots and maybe two House of Representatives seats.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said Labor's decision to put the Greens ahead of his party was no surprise because both were left-wing.
"They sail together," he told reporters in Townsville.
He announced the Liberals would urge voters to put Labor ahead of the Greens in all 150 lower house seats.
That's likely to help Labor MPs under threat from the Greens, including Anthony Albanese in Grayndler and David Feeney in Batman.
Victorian Liberals had been negotiating a deal with the Greens for several marginal Labor seats and state party president Michael Kroger said the decision to help Labor had been difficult.
"To put David Feeney back into parliament is a cross we'll have to bear," he said.
Senator Feeney scored an early campaign black mark for neglecting to declare he owned a $2.3 million negatively geared property in his electorate.
Mr Kroger said the Liberals didn't want to contribute to the possibility of a mishmash of independent and minor party crossbenchers making the lower house like the Senate.
Pre-poll voting opens on Tuesday, allowing voters who will be away from home or unable to attend a polling booth to cast a vote. In 2013, 3.74 million people voted early, with the expectation of as many or more in 2016.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said Labor was running to win in all House of Representatives seats and there was no chance of coming third.
"So in other words, our preferences will not be allocated," he said.
Greens co-convenor Penny Allman-Payne said Labor could do better on issues such as climate change and asylum seekers but they were still better than the Liberals and Nationals.
They are recommending voters put Labor ahead of the Liberals and Nationals in 139 House of Representatives seats and in the Senate.
"Our priority is to ensure a progressive Senate and to prevent a conservative government and this arrangement reflects that," she said in a statement.
In 11 seats, the Greens will issue open how-to-vote in line with the desire of local branches who don't want to instruct voters who to preference.
That includes Mayo and Grey in South Australia where polling indicates Xenophon candidates have a good chance of ousting sitting Liberal MPs.
Senator Xenophon said it should be up to voters to make their own preference choice.
Nevertheless he called Labor's plan "interesting" given he had supported its stance in key debates such as higher education and welfare cuts.
"It's still a cosy deal but I am confident that voters will ultimately make a decision that a Labor voter will want to go us before the Liberals and a Liberal voter will want to go us before Labor," he said.

The much-awaited arrival of monsoons in Mumbai was declared by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday. Announcement of the onset in Mumbai meant that monsoon has been declared in the whole of Maharashtra.
A statement from IMD said, "Southwest Monsoon has further advanced into remaining parts of central Arabian Sea, Konkan and Madhya Maharashtra, some parts of north Arabian Sea and south Gujarat and some more parts of Madhya Pradesh."
Despite this, Mumbai saw a relatively dry Tuesday with light rain and cloudy skies, with the city witnessing a high of 32.7 degrees Celsius and a low of 26 degrees Celsius.
As per the IMD office in Santacruz, the city witnessed 7.2 mm of rainfall between 8.30 am and 5.30 pm Tuesday, exceeding the criteria of a minimum of 2.5 mm of rainfall set by IMD to declare monsoons, which arrived after a two-week delay this year.
Showers, however, are expected from June 27 to June 29, tweeted K S Hosalikar, deputy director general (western region) of IMD.

Apple Cider Vinegar – is the hero ingredient of our ready to drink Switchel products and our GLO shots. Not only does it naturally preserve our products, but also helps balance the alkaline and acidity levels in the body. It has been proven to lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels, reduce heart disease and is a natural detoxing agent. We use organic fermented apple cider vinegar aged in oak barrels which contain "THE MOTHER." ACV is a pre-biotic that encourages the growth of your good gut bacteria. We don't pasteurize our Switchel, as the heat can damage the good bacteria, which is why our drinks need to be refrigerated and the shelf life is 6 months
Maple – after months of research on what type of sweetener to use in our products, we came to the conclusion that organic grade A maple syrup from Canada was the best. Maple syrup contains antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and help strengthen the immune system. Maple also contains calcium, iron, magnesium potassium and zinc, which improve heart health and can also help strengthen the male reproductive system. We are still learning so much about this super food and we believe there will be more benefits to this amazing tasting tree sap in the future.
Ginger – this "superfood" - one of the only ingredients we actually feel comfortable using the term "superfood" on, as it's been researched more than most - has been utilized for centuries to fight the common cold and build immunity. Gingerol, the active ingredients in ginger can inhibit the growth of certain types of bacteria. Ginger helps treat nausea, morning sickness, muscle pain and acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.
Lemon – needs no introduction!! It has amazing detoxification and healing benefits for the whole body. Lemon helps the liver create bile, which encourages the breakdown of food. Lemon also helps the body to produce collagen helping with those to fight fine 'wisdom' lines. The high vitamin C properties promote white blood cells - vital for the immune system. Why drink water when you can drink lemon Switchel?!
Turmeric with pepper – related to the ginger family and a strong anti-inflammatory. Some research is showing that the active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin is acting as a preventer towards some cancers and may help with relieving symptoms of anxiety and depression. We also add pepper into our turmeric blends as it helps the body to absorb the active ingredients of the turmeric.
Grapefruit with cayenne – is an amazing detoxing agent, fantastic in strengthening the immune system, boosting the metabolism, fighting gum disease and reducing stress. Cayenne pepper is a spicy addition to this flavour, which gives the drink a little heat and stimulates the circulatory system – perfect for faster healing and getting the blood flowing. Some people need to take care when consuming grapefruit while on heart medication or the pill, as it may increase or decrease the effects of certain medication.
Beetroot – along with all the other amazing ingredients in the Switchel range, beetroot is a great immune booster with high levels of Vit C. It's also a great liver cleanser and blood-detoxing agent. High in potassium, manganese; which are essential for the nervous system and liver, kidney and pancreas. Beets also contain B vitamin folate - superb for expecting Mum's as it prevents birth defects. Along with the ginger in Switchel, our beetroot flavor is a great morning sickness remedy.
Pineapple – possibly one of our favourite ingredients due to its tropical, sweet flavor, this beauty is also a fabulous digestion aid and helps strengthen bones and eye-sight. Pineapple also contains bromelain, which is an enzyme that helps reduce inflammation in the nose + area, handy for those prone to allergies or hayfever. Check out our NZ Artisan award winning drink, Pineapple Switchel here: bit.ly/2zuZPWE and enjoy the tropical goodness!
Maca – this wonder root grows in the Andes at high altitudes and was used throughout Peruvian history. Packed with essential vitamins, maca boosts mood, energy, enhances physical and mental stamina, and improves hormonal imbalances. It's also a well-known aphrodisiac, and enriches libido and fertility for both males + females.
Ashwagandha – is an ancient Ayurvedic medicinal herb with adaptogenic properties. Adaptogens are found in some plants, and are used to support the bodies adrenal system. Ashwagandha is commonly used to lower cortisol (a stress hormone), decrease inflammation and support fertility in men. It also has properties that help to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, studies have found that it can fight cancer-causing cells. Ashwagandha is often made into a powder from the root, or as a liquid tonic where it is may be labeled as withania.
Oregano Oil – who knew that the classic Mediterranean herb also has a multitude of health benefits? The oil is extracted from the leaves + stems of the oregano plant, and provides antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-parasitic properties. This is an excellent natural remedy for a wide range of health issues including various skin and gut issues, fluey feels, and is said to be Mother Nature's alternative to antibiotics.
Solé – this little charmer is made via a process of concentrating mineral salts (we use Himalayan) and water. Though some scientific studies discourage too much salt consumption, this drink has a multitude of proven health benefits. Many of our soils today are deficient in essential vitamins like zinc, magnesium, and iodine – these help the body to function as it should, and allow cells to regenerate in an efficient and healthy way. Solé boosts vitality, helps hydration, and acts as a strong detoxifying agent for the body.
Charcoal – activated charcoal is an odorless black powder used to absorb toxins by binding to the molecules, ions or atoms on harmful substances - like alcohol, drugs, and any nasty chemicals. Charcoal essentially purifies the bodies interior and exterior and helps support healing, perfect to detoxify inside + out!

Property assessed clean energy, better known by the acronym PACE, is a financing mechanism allowing homeowners to fund improvements that will increase the efficiency and eco-friendliness of their property. PACE programs are straightforward, but the financing is a little different than standard home improvement loans from a bank. Given the high-interest rates, expensive closing costs, and other drawbacks of bank loans, the PACE alternative is worth a look.
Why Is PACE Financing a Worthwhile Option?
PACE financing can often be a viable alternative to a standard home improvement loan. What are the positives of PACE financing? Unlike banks, the ultimate goal of these programs is not to earn interest for their shareholders. Rather, PACE options are implemented to help more people afford upgrades that will make their homes more efficient and more resilient.
Rates are generally low, and they do not fluctuate. Best of all, homeowners pay for their improvements incrementally as a line item on their annual property taxes. This allows them to reap the benefits of a more energy-efficient home and then use some of the savings on their energy bills to pay for the project over time.
Not Offered Everywhere
If you decide that PACE financing is a viable option, the first step is determining whether the program is offered in your local area. States must approve the financing programs, and local authorities (either cities or counties) administer them. Though most localities are interested in improving the energy efficiency of homes so that pollution levels are lowered, and there is less strain on the energy grid, not all cities and towns offer PACE financing.
More and more municipal governments are getting on board with PACE financing, but it is a relatively new trend that is still in the early stages of growth. Even if the local area does not have the option now, one could soon be available, especially if the state already has legislation in place to enable such programs.
As of early 2017, PACE financing has been enabled in 33 states, along with the District of Columbia. However, "enabled" does not mean the same as "active." Therefore, even if your state legislature approved PACE financing, your local government is not forced to offer the program. In addition, some states have approved PACE financing and then placed programs on hold. At the time of this writing, PACE programs are currently active and operating in 19 states (plus D.C.), with residential programs in California, Florida and most recently Missouri. For the most updated list, visit PACENation.
Is Your Project Eligible for PACE Financing?
Some eligible upgrades are obvious because of the energy savings they bring to homeowners: solar panels, energy-efficient LED lighting, upgraded insulation, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and drip irrigation for gardens and lawns. New windows, window sealing, or even increased shading may also earn acceptance from the local PACE administrators. More efficient heating and cooling systems also qualify in most areas, as should improved duct systems and more efficient venting.
Major efficiency upgrades usually qualify for PACE financing, but smaller improvements could also receive approval providing they meet the savings-versus-cost requirements. Homeowners, therefore, are not required to "think big" when planning their next efficiency project.
Choose Your Contractor Carefully
In a document outlining the guidelines for PACE pilot programs, the U.S. Department of Energy stresses the need for qualified professionals to audit and complete projects. Auditors and contractors should not only have general licenses to conduct business in that given state, but they should also be authorized in the relevant specialty. In states that abide by these rules, homeowners may not be able to hire the cheapest contractor, but they will be certain that a qualified professional will complete the work. Knowledgeable PACE financing experts can connect construction firms and homeowners with specialists who are authorized to work on the projects.
Homeowners should also always be certain that the products and services they receive are warrantied. This is crucial because unforeseen repair costs could quickly undo any energy savings. Obtaining the best warranty could mean forgoing the cheapest price, but, in the long run, the peace of mind will be worth the extra money.
Debt of Property and Ability to Pay
PACE financing is tied to the property, not to the homeowner. This means that the payments for the project are still paid through the property taxes after a change in ownership. The payments are, in essence, sold along with the house. Therefore, a homeowner need not commit to living in a home for the next 20 years to take advantage of PACE financing. That said, in order to obtain PACE financing, most municipalities want assurances that a property owner can make the annual payments for the improvement.
In most cities, this is done by looking at the record of past property tax payments. (As long as you have been on time with your property taxes in the past and are not currently delinquent, everything should be fine on this front.)
How Big Should the Improvement Be?
According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) guidelines, PACE assessments should not exceed 10 percent of the property's overall value. Also, because there are administrative costs that the local government needs to recover, projects cannot be too small. The DOE recommends that local authorities put a minimum of $2,500 on PACE-funded projects. The goal of these guidelines is to ensure that the financing works for both the homeowners and for local governments. These rules and measures are meant to increase the likelihood of a profitable upgrade.
Banks that offer home improvement loans cannot provide the same kind of risk-to-reward equation – they are only concerned about the borrower's ability to pay back the loan. States and cities are becoming aware of the economic and environmental benefits of PACE financing. More and more are ready to adopt this idea and offer it to their citizens.

Protection and land management - environmental monitoring
Almost 70% of Italian municipalities are classified as high hydro-geological risk (landslides and floods, in general). The creation of the mission structure of the government led by Erasmo D'Angelis, called ItaliaSicura, against the hydrogeological should try to reverse the trend of recent years and put aspects of maintenance and prevention priority over those of repairing the damage occurred.
The environmental monitoring
The environmental monitoring plays certainly an important role for both the prevention of potentially catastrophic events and for the identification of effective policies to mitigate the risk.
Our team conducted for many years researches and experimentations in this field, taking part in the monitoring of unstable slopes and activities in contexts of river systems using integrated geomatics sensors (GPS, total station, weather sensors) analyzed in synergy with geotechnical instrumentation. The experience is expressed in the following capacity:
- design of systems for surveying and monitoring in real-time, reliable and effective, for a knowledge of the area with a preventing purpose
- creation of Geographic Information Systems - GIS, for the efficient management of emergency situations
- integrated processing and analysis of geospatial data to support the interpretation of the phenomena.
In this regard, we have a total station TCR1201+ by Leica Geosystems and two dual-frequency GPS receivers by Ashtech Z-Xtreme.

Music…It's deep in our roots. We live it, breathe it and make it kick!
In 1973, KICKER's Livin' Loud legacy began as a two-man operation, hand-building professional-speaker systems in a narrow one-car garage. With very few resources and an intense love for music, company founder and current President Steve Irby invented the mobile-stereo enclosure market in his northern Oklahoma community, when he developed the Original KICKER. It was the first full frequency-range speaker box designed specifically for cars and trucks. From that historic moment, delivering concert-like audio quality across a wide volume range with renowned bass and accurate sound has always been the KICKER way.

Register by February 28th and receive one free entry to the online course, Gift of Awareness for Educators: Jewish Mindfulness Meditation for You and Your Students—a $180 value!
Educating for a Jewish Spiritual Life:
Nurturing the Spiritual Capabilities of Jewish Youth
What is Educating for a Jewish Spiritual Life (EJSL)?
EJSL is a three-semester, professional development program that provides educators with concrete ways to teach students to become spiritual seekers and makers of meaningful lives. It invites a deeper connection to and joy in Judaism as a pathway for engaged living and lifelong growth.
The program starts by building fundamental meditation skills, which underlie the teachings of the next two semesters: tikkun middot (positive character attributes), and contemplative tefillah (prayer).
Each semester begins with an in-person, half-day professional development workshop. Following the workshop, educators who want to further pursue Jewish mindfulness in the classroom enroll in an online, on-demand self-study course. In the case of Semester 1, that's: Gift of Awareness for Educators: Jewish Mindfulness Meditation for You and Your Students. The online course comes with webinars, a discussion forum, journaling, and email access to an IJS coach.
Get started with Semester 1: Jewish Mindfulness Meditation, with the option to continue for the full three semesters.
Educating for a Jewish Spiritual Life:
- Teaches mindfulness: the skill of paying attention, non-judgmentally, in the present moment;
- Develops social and emotional skills, including expanded capacity for managing emotions, being empathetic, paying attention, resilience, and positive relationships;
- Reduces stress; and
- Deepens connection to self, others, and Judaism.
What makes Educating for a Jewish Spiritual Life unique?
- The Jewish framework.
- The teaching of multiple spiritual practices, including tikkun middot (developing prosocial character traits like patience, loving-kindness, and compassionate speech), contemplative tefillah (prayer), and mindfulness meditation.
- The dual professional development and personal growth opportunities for educators.
- IJS's expert faculty and 20 years of experience.
Who is EJSL for?
The EJSL program is designed for Jewish day and supplemental schools and educators, but that doesn't mean it's limited to them! Any educator can benefit from bringing Jewish mindfulness into their life and their teaching skillset. If you believe EJSL might be a good fit for you or your organization, don't hesitate to contact us to learn more.
"When we first started teaching [a popular secular mindfulness program], the preliminary observation is that the students were better able to settle in assembly.
Now [thanks to EJSL], we touch the spirit of the child."

Fee Structure & Investment
EJSL can be an opportunity for a community, not just one school. Participate as a single organization or reduce your costs by sharing the professional development workshop with two or more schools in your area.
Semester 1 has two components: a professional development workshop, and then a 13-week online course, The Gift of Awareness for Educators: Jewish Mindfulness for You and Your Student.
The In-Person Workshop
(Minimum number of workshop attendees: 18)
The half-day professional development workshop is delivered on-site by an IJS trainer. This is the "kickoff" to the program, where educators will begin to dive into the objectives, theories, and practices of EJSL. There are two options available for local workshop:
- Single School Workshop: In this version, a single school (or organization) hosts the half-day session, for $1500. The school is responsible for securing the workshop site and managing logistics, as well as paying for IJS trainer travel (capped at $750).
- Shared Local Workshop: In this version, three or more local organizations come together to share the workshop, which reduces the workshop fee to $850 (if there are three schools). Organizations are responsible for finding their own local partners. One organization is designated as the "host" school, and is responsible for securing the workshop site and managing logistics. In exchange for this work, they pay a reduced fee. IJS trainer travel is included in the cost of the shared workshop program fee.
Online Meditation Course
Following the professional development workshop, educators will have the option enroll in a special $240 educator edition of the IJS online Jewish mindfulness meditation course, offered at a discounted rate of $180 per educator (25% off the listed price!). There is no minimum number of educators who may take the course; however, to best share benefits among colleagues, we recommend that at least four people per school enroll. Educators who enroll in the online course will attend course-related webinars and discussion forums with fellow Jewish educators from across the country.
What if three or four schools in a community want their own webinars and discussion forum in conjunction with the online course? Contact Sam today for information about creating your own local Consortium. Are you a single school interested in a private online course experience for your educators? Email Sam about the premium online option.

The ageless ponytail has always been a sign of strength, independence and dominance. It is a historic hairstyle that has been present in fashion starting from the Ancient Civilizations and until the present day often seen on the red carpet.
There are many different ponytail styles to rule, but the one that' s on demand at the moment is the High Pony. It shows off a thick and strong hair, with a wave in it that adds a wilderness to it but you can still pull it off with an elegant look.
Things to know about the High Pony:
Most of the times, you need to add extensions
The unrealistic hight of the modern pony needs a big amount of hair. Also, if you want to keep the length, you will definitely need to add extensions. But not to worry: there are now extensions that are specifically made for ponytails. Put them on for the day, reuse them on another occasion.
There is lots of product involved
Even though the High Pony looks soft and natural, to make the S- like shape of this style, we need to add styling products. Most people prefer to stay away from too much products, but keep in mind that if the products are high quality, they won't feel sticky or too much at all.
It takes longer than just pulling it back with a hair tie
Yes, you can do a ponytail. And yes, you can make it look nicer than just a quick fix for a bad hair day.
But to make a fancy High Pony, there is more work involved. Make sure you don't rush it if you need the fancy High Pony and not just an everyday tied up hair.

Weezer's Brian Bell Talks Gibsons, His Influences and the Guitars He Takes on the Road
As one-fourth of the band Weezer, guitarist Brian Bell has sold over 17 million albums worldwide. 23 years after their debut full-length—which featured timeless hits like "Buddy Holly," "Undone (The Sweater Song)" and "Say It Ain't So"—Weezer are still going strong. The band's newest offering—Pacific Daydream (slated for an October 27 release)—is the band's third album in four years.
Guitar World spoke to Bell, on the eve of the album's release, about his guitar collection, how he ended up playing Gibsons and Weezer's legacy.
What inspired you to start playing guitar? Was it a particular artist or album?
I had musical training, or interests, very early in life. Around the age of four, my parents took me to see Elvis Presley and I immediately wanted to play some sort of musical instrument. My mom suggested piano and we got a piano in the house. I started taking lessons around that age. In elementary school, I moved to saxophone because that was the most rock & roll instrument of the time in the school orchestra. (laughs)
I've always been able to read music as long as I've been able to read English. I learned music and how to read and write around the same time, so it's impossible for me not to read music. Whether that's good or bad, that is what it is and it's hard for me to unlearn things. You can get bogged down with theory with music, but I just try to use that knowledge to the best of my ability when I'm coming up with guitar parts.
I also was fairly athletic as a kid. I was always at the top of my height and weight at a certain age, so when I played sports, I was always in the bigger range of the kids. It was a lot of fun. Then when I got to high school, I realized I stopped growing and there was no longer a weight limit. Guys were so much bigger than me that I couldn't compete in sports anymore. I had always thought that I was going to be a professional baseball player.
I decided to switch to guitar around the age of 15. I started with a really good instructor in Knoxville, Tennessee who was a masters student of Andres Segovia. That was good for me because I could already read music. It was a really quick transition for me and I feel like I was able to start really playing guitar within about six months of starting lessons.
It wasn't any particular artist, it was internally something that I was looking to do with my life. Something that I felt passionate about. All through high school, every Friday night, when everyone was going out, I was going to guitar lessons. It was the age of 18, right after high school, that I moved to Los Angeles. I really went full force with music.
In your band before Weezer, Carnival Art, you played bass. When did you start playing bass?
I played both bass and guitar. I started out as bass, then the guitarist left the band, so I switched to guitar.
You're known to only play Gibson Guitars. Was that the case in high school and when you were starting out?
Oh no, I wish I was lucky enough to start on a Gibson guitar. My first guitar was an Ibanez Roadstar II that I bought with my own money. I kind of wish that I had that guitar still, it was more of a Strat shape.
When you go out on the road these days, how many guitars do you usually bring?
Well, I personally don't bring any. We have a crew that brings them in a truck, but I don't really need that many guitars. I guess the answer to that question would be two. I found that bringing my vintage collection of guitars on the road is a very dumb thing to do.
Bringing a very solid, sturdy guitar though, is the right thing to do, so I found that Gibson Explorer has the best of both worlds, a good tone and also a battle ax; you can go to battle with that thing. I like to have one that is used for what we call "Weezer tuning."
Basically, that means all the strings are tuned a half-step down. Then one of the guitars has a capo on the second fret, I usually play that for "Island In The Sun." If I break a string, which I rarely do anymore, then I have a backup, which is another Gibson Explorer.
Before Weezer, I had a Gibson Melody Maker, which had an SG shape. I used to use a wound G-string, because tuning issues on the G-string have always been problematic. But just the weight of a wound G-string kind of hurt my finger after a while, so I switched that to a standard G-string.
An interesting side project of yours was acting in the movie Factory Girl. Do you have aspirations to do more acting?
Living in Los Angeles, you can't help but your interest being piqued by that world. I'm interested in film in general, in sound, scoring film and just film study in general, which would include acting and studying acting and understanding emotions, which I think would help with music. I think it's all connected.
Looking back at almost 25 years with Weezer, is there an accomplishment that you are most proud of?
I just recently got my [MTV VMA] Moonman trophy from the "Buddy Holly" video. I gave it to my parents back when I got it. I was kind of embarrassed by that kind of stuff. Now, looking back, I think it's kind of cool that I have an MTV Moonman Award that says "Weezer," "Buddy Holly," "Brian Bell" on it. I think that's pretty cool, I just got it last week.
When I see that video, I'm just amazed at how well it stands the test of time, and how interesting it is. We're a band from the 1990s that is using elements of a TV show from the 1970s, which is then, in turn, using the time period of the 1950s. So it's 20 years later that I decided I am finally ready to display my MTV Award. (laughs)

Transformer 3 Scenes in Cambodia
Mar 15
I was playing with Aiken (after watching the preliminary paintball match between Dynasty & Russian Legion at PSP 2011) when Joyce saw "Transformer 3 is shooting at Wat Phnom now" at DJ Buffy's facebook wall. I went down to ask biggie if he wants to go… after seeing the result when he googled "Transformer 3 Cambodia" he said – yes, let's go.
I was expecting some explosions and people running around like the one i saw a month earlier somewhere in youtube.. (look for Transformer 3 Chicago shoot) –
much to my disappointment – Roads are blocked. No audience allowed. And we were greeted with decepticons saying NO CAMERA's Allowed. well, only after shooting a few snaps already lol… he might have been some crappy old version decepticon because he didnt asked me to annihilate…err delete my pics:
They were taping somewhere in-front the Municipal Post Office and not in Wat Phnom…
Check out this press release about Michael Bay shooting some scenes for Transformer 3 here in Cambodia (source: AKP)
"Transformers 3" To Be Shot in Cambodia
Phnom Penh, January 21, 2011 AKP –
"Transformers 3 – Dark Side of the Moon" will be shot in Cambodia in February 2011 at the Angkor Temple Complex and Bokor Hill Station, according to Mr. Nicholas Simon, producer of Indochina Productions.
"Transformers 3" is the third part of the well-known science-fiction movie about TRANFORMER robots defending the earth.
"We want to shoot in Cambodia as it is one of the most beautiful countries around. With both Angkor Wat and Cambodia's natural wonders, we will be able to maintain the large production scale of TRANFORMERS while giving the impression that the story is traveling all around the planet earth," said Mr. Nicholas Simon in his letter addressed to Cambodian Minister of Information H.E. Khieu Kanharith.
This production will highlight the beauty the Angkor Temple Complex to a worldwide audience, he said, adding that it is estimated that over 500 million people have seen the previous two Transformers and with TRANFORMERS 3, millions more will discover the beautiful landscapes and cultural heritage of Cambodia.
Mr. Simon also recalled his good experiences in film production working in Cambodia on projects such as ORACLE, Matt Dillon's CITY OF GHOSTS and Legendary Pictures' I AM THAT MAN. –AKP

Victoria looks fresh,radiant and excited so her outfit isn 't so important.Maybe dress is old-fashioned but it looks good.ReplyDelete
dress by zadig et voltaire :)ReplyDelete
Where is she buying these dresses, noooo!ReplyDelete
I don't care for the print and color,ill fitting, matronly, awkward length... and I could say the same about the lady in the pants outfit.ReplyDelete
I like dresses from Zadig et voltaire very much but it isn't a good idea to shorten a maxi dress to midi length - the proportions don't fit.ReplyDelete
Nice colour, pattern, and length, but the detail on the front of this dress absolutely ruin it.ReplyDelete
Oh no!Not again a dress so wrong for her.ReplyDelete
oh i love this wonderful retro-dress <3ReplyDelete
Thankfully, everyone has their own opinion and personal taste.ReplyDelete
With pumps or boots I find that the Midi Version is much more suitable.
I like the dress and I think CP Victoria is doing very well.
She has a great payout and that's what counts.
Horrible! When will this awful fashion style be over.ReplyDeleteReplies
My thoughts exactly. A terrible "trend", that only fashion victims will follow.Delete
These midi-length floaty floral skirts need to disappear. They don´t look good on anyone.
The top could work as a blouse, with a nice white, red or black pencil skirt.
Horrible, agree.Delete
I agree ... the royal princesses are not catwalk models and do not have to follow any fashion trend that is shown there! This length and style is best to Queen Margrethe and her age!Delete
I just don't think this suits her. Again, another dress that ages her. It may have worked a little better if it had been shortened to the knee and the sleeves were shorter. The model also has it unbuttoned, where she is all buttoned up. Maybe a few buttons open? Better over all if she would just avoid all the boho and stick with a more structured look.ReplyDelete
So tired of this boho look, especially on Victoria. She just looks like she had no idea of what suits her.ReplyDelete
I do like the pale pink dress on the other young woman - simple but elegant.
Coincido con "Brezo" con respecto al vestido Rosa pálido de la señora que recibe a la princesa Victoria a quien mucho aprecio por su trabajoReplyDelete
Esta moda ni a Victoria, ni ayer a Mary les favorece
Love this dress and love it on Victoriaà! I never tire of this style, which I think is very becoming to most women, regardless of age, when the fit is good. The print should absolutely go no bigger than this, though -- a too-large print will make any dress appear matronly.ReplyDelete
No! This is not for her and that handbag and shoes, all wrong!ReplyDelete

When the 2017 WHO Forum on alcohol, drugs and addictive behaviours was going on we also continue our advocacy with a training activity. Our partner and sponsor IOGT International attended the forum with presentation on how alcohol affect 13 of 17 SDGs and 52 of the 169 targets. At the implementation level we are conducting training on Alcohol Prevention knowledge and Facilitation skills. The training is for coaches or edu-sports teachers from all schools in the four wards we are implementing our program.
The training we are conducting involves schools from Kising'a, Mseka, Masaka and Ifunda wards. One teacher is representing the school and all schools from these wards have participated. We are doing a three days training about facilitation skills and knowledge on alcohol prevention. We target pupils in order to discourage them to start drinking alcohol especially at young age. The training is facilitated by a doctor in a class and a coach on the field.
Alcohol Prevention Knowledge
The doctor who is an expert in mental health conducts a session about alcohol prevention. The session is about what is alcohol, it's advantages and disadvantages to human life. Most of the session is based on alcohol health effects especially when consumed by a minor. Alcohol can affect children as they are still growing and destroy their future resulting in dependent generation which can not contribute to the society. Doctor explained how alcohol contributes as one of the factors causing many diseases as cancer and mental problems.
Facilitation skills
Our coach train the teachers how to conduct drills with children with encoded message about alcohol. The football pitch is used as a training venue in order to exercise the drills. Also the coach insist on facilitation skills, how to talk to youth, how to act when training them. This is important as these teachers have other lessons to teach so the students must distinguish the sessions. Teachers will use the sports period to talk to the students while playing and engaging them in discussion about alcohol. This way it is easier for the children to remember the message and enjoy the session.

I'm new to posting here but has been lurking for a while. As a result I've learned a great deal and begin to dabble a bit into vintage. For my first Italian vintage, I got myself a pretty nice 88P with firm fine nib a few months ago. It's a bit finicky in terms of inks and paper but it's the smoothest nib I've owned (and for a Fine nib nonetheless!).
So I had to get myself an original 88 and came across one in poor condition but it was cheap enough so I just snatched it to see. This one does not have any marking on the barrel or cap, no Aurora branding, no serial number but the size and nib/cap design all point to the original 88 (circa 1948-53, if I'm not mistaken). It has an F marking under the section that means Fine nib (at the same location on the section as my 88P). I actually got it to work alright without having to replace anything. It has a VERY wet but lovely flex fine nib, though I was quite surprised with how the nib writes. Here is a sample of the 88P's fine nib and 88's fine:
You can see the thickness difference is quite stark between the 88 and 88P. I know a flexible fine should put down a different line from a firm Fine but the variation here is a bit too much (the 88P being closer to Sailor Soft F-M and the 88 being closer to a Pelikan Broad in the photo).
The size of the tip on my 88 is also quite bigger than the tip of the 88P. I tried to capture it in a photo here (88 is on the Left):
For me the 88 writes too broad to be a fine nib. Could this be the nib is indeed a Broad or it is just how the 88 writes? Or I may have an ink flow problem on my 88 that makes it write too broad (it is indeed very wet)?
Thank you in advance.


text: During intense physical activity your muscles expand -the unique adjustability of the socket allows you to fine tune the tightness and without needing to slow down. The ratchet mechanism secures the residual limb ensuring excellent weight distribution. Generated using our Bone Algorithm Technology the open structure allows maximum breathability. Heat and perspiration dissipate quickly meaning training time is not limited by discomfort. Bone Algorithm Technology, inspired by nature, is applied to the 3D scan of the residual leg to generate an optimally strong yet open structure. Wicking technology used in the liner draws moisture away from the skin which is quickly dissipated through the three dimensional structure of the comfort layer. The liner is integrated with the socket structure for rapid application and removal.

Desert Landscaping Garden Ideas
Desert Gardening and Landscaping – Adding Beauty to The Home Garden
Desert Garden Landscaping Ideas. Desert gardening is a great idea for all sorts of landscape structures including your home garden. The desert plants can survive on minimal watering and extreme climatic adversities. They are of various kinds offering bright colored fruits, nice fragrant flowers etc. When it comes to the species selection for a desert garden, the options are endless to get every possible combination for spectacular landscape.
The desert shrubs are known for vivid coloring, easy planting and caring requirements, and green environment in the garden premises. There are shrubs that grow in desert regions that are not the typical desert plants. The viburnum shrub is a great inclusion in the desert garden landscape area. Offering extended foliage, versatility, and convenient growth habits; these are often treasured plants in the garden.
They are widely recognized for magnificent aromatic flowers and bright color fruits that are highly favorable for attracting wildlife to your home garden. With over 150 species to choose, you have a plethora of them including the Japanese Snowball Viburnum, Old Fashioned Snowball, and the evergreen shrub Pragense (Prague Viburnum).
One of the most beautiful desert plants is the Succulent species is the Delosperma or Iceplant with its glimmering flowers. These plants grow about 6 to 8 inches tall and are spreaders. Other succulent plants include sedum. There is creeping sedum used as ground covers and upright garden sedum plants. Creeping sedums are mostly evergreen plants while the taller growing garden sedums act more as perennials.
The Yucca species and cultivars in North America are in the growth range of USDA Hardiness Zone of 4-10. These species are highly appreciated for distinct appearance, extending colorful plant life, and vertically stalked flowers, boasting over extreme weather conditions. Yucca plants can survive drought and high-temperature conditions to retain long years of survival. Yucca Color Guard is a newer yucca cultivar that is smaller in size and perfect for small yards.
Characterized by sword-shaped leaves and sharp tips, the leaves of Yucca species are very interesting and vary from one to another in terms of margin colors. There are curly margins of the leaf filaments. The color of the margins in Variegata is white, Bright edge and a Golden edge is yellow and so on. The golden sword has leaves with beautiful yellow centers. The flowers of the Yucca species are recognized by bell-shaped appearance having lighter shades of creamy white to light yellow.
Starting with the inexpensive methods is a great idea for a trial period. Succulent plants are great for cultivating in small pots. The winters are very crucial for your garden desert plant species with stressful consequences. During this period, the plants require waterproof covering to prevent contact with direct snowfall. With simple care measures, you can prevent adversities and protect your existing desert garden plants.
