Frederik Barthel
Where financiers and entrepreneurs, or shareholders and the board, often have different ideas about how a company should be managed, Frederik acts as an adviser to the entrepreneur or director. Part of this knowledge comes from the period when Frederik himself was a financial service provider.
He also learned a lot in insolvency practice, which is a learning experience of how things should not be done. This is a wealth of knowledge that Frederik can share for the benefit of – and with – the entrepreneur. Every problem or question has several sides to it. A formally legal side, or simply an answer that is practical and offers a solution to the entrepreneur. But, sometimes, a case is a matter of principle, and then he goes all out.
Frederik studied in the United States, the Netherlands, and France from 1989 to 1996. He then followed various postdoctoral specialist courses in the area of liability of companies, insolvency and restructuring, and financial economy.

About Frederik
Frederik was born in Amerongen on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. After some time spent wandering around the world due to study and work, he finally landed in The Hague. He is married and has three children. A great deal of his 'free time' is spent playing taxi driver for hockey, football, judo, swimming lessons, etc.
Frederik has a thing for history and political science. He is also active for the church, school, and society. He believes that a day without laughter is a day that has not been lived. Frederik is practical and two-dimensional. A plan must be converted into an action plan and must then be executed but, keep in mind, half work is no work at all. His motto is: 'Gouverner c'est prévoir' (Foresight is the essence of government).

Indoor wooden window shutters – A corner room is often neglected when design decisions are made for the rest of the home. Rather than wondering what exactly to do with the corner and windows of the room, use them to your advantage with furniture designed to fit in these spaces. Turn the room into a place for housing your various collections, such as a guest room, an office or a living room.
12 Photos Gallery of: Indoor Wooden Window Shutters Ideas
Refrain from placing furniture against the indoor wooden window shutters itself. Rather place furniture around the window, such as a comfortable chair and footstool straight angle to the window. Place a small table next to the outside of the chair to place books, magazines and a roller coaster or two drinks. Put a small area mat. Use high, thin shelves, pieces specially designed to fit the corners. Put them in two corners of the room. Such pieces often have a triangular design for easy mounting. Use a shelf for residential favorite images, the other for shreds and collections or other items that you want to display.
Place a desk, table or small sofa in between the two shelves, depending on the use of the room. Use a futon or day bed as the sofa in a guest room. Flanking furniture with a floor lamp and a high flooring, such as a palm tree. Hang the appropriate indoor wooden window shutters in the window that fits the interior of the room. For example, look for curtains made of rich materials, such as velvet, for corner rooms with antique furniture and sumptuous fabrics. Add some rugs of fluffy area to a matte place for an extra-plush feel or use oriental rugs area for rooms with hardwood floors.palm tree shutters

'The Bachelor' episode 4: 'It's torture -- it's seriously torture!'
Tell us about it, honey! I mean, four weeks in and I would seriously rather break my jaw while roller skating than listen to some of these "ladies" complain. Or, rather, one of these "ladies." Of course, it's vixens like Tierra who keep us helplessly addicted to The Bachelor, right rose lovers? Her hissy fit this week was pretty entertaining, even if Sean did fall for it like a complete and utter sucker. Stay tuned for my full recap later tonight (UPDATE: Click for Kristen's full recap and Chris Harrison's weekly blog), but in the meantime work out your feelings about Tiny T and all of tonight's shenanigans in the comments section below. Is Tierra an evil genius, or just evil? Are you as grossed out by the idea of a "Pretty Woman date" as I am? Has anyone ever taken you on a date to a fake trailer park, and if so, how hard did you hit that person? There's a lot to talk about, rose lovers. Let's get to it.

Erica Calardo (Genoa, 1980) is a figurative painter living and working in Bologna, Italy.
Her works in oils, watercolors, and pencils are windows on the solitude of lost souls. She explores the realm of Beauty, Grotesque, Magic, by creating eery oneiric feminine figures who tell tales of long forgotten dreams, of an imaginary timeless past.
Deeply rooted in the Italian Tradition, her technique is inspired by the Renaissance and Mannerism old masters (Leonardo, Bronzino, and Lavinia Fontana above all). She is mostly self-taught and has learned her skills from old dusty books. She has recently studied academic painting with Italian master Roberto Ferri.
Since 2010, she has showcased her work in galleries in Italy (Mondo Bizzarro, Studio21), and abroad (La Luz de Jesus - LA, Auguste Clown - Australia, Modern Eden, Swoon, Flower Pepper, WWA, and Spoke Art, Distinction - USA, Pinkzeppelin - Berlin among others). Erica's paintings have appeared in several magazines and books, like Miroir Magazine, Beautiful Bizarre, Il Manifesto, Inside Art, Italian Pop Surrealism, Illustrati..
She is in love with ancient castles, old christmas postcards, memento mori from the Victorian Age, logic, history of art, four poster beds, baroque clothing, fairytales, mirrors, harpsichords, ghost stories, and punk rock

Millions Unable to Pay their Bills
By Jonathan Nolan, 6th Feb 2018 | Follow this author
| RSS Feed
Posted in WikinutBusinessAccounting & Finance
More news that people are struggling to pay their monthly bills. Are you missing out on savings that you could make in other areas of your life?
Is it a red letter day?
When you get your bills through the door, are you one of those people who pay them off straight away or wait until you get that warning through? More of us Brits are having no choice but to wait for the warning letter to come through, as they are struggling to pay their bills on time. It's estimated that this is true for around one in eight of us, who are unable to meet repayments.
A survey conducted by insolvency group R3 has discovered that around eight million people in the UK will have to go into their overdrafts this month, which has increased 5% since this time last year. This is down to rises in energy and food prices (which I mentioned in some previous blogs) and many are opting for credit help to cover essential payments.
This could also be the reason for the increase in people taking out short-term loans, as people are struggling to maintain the gap between income and outgoings. This has meant that we are all searching for ways to keep afloat when it comes to our finances. You can visit loans for bad credit for more details. Here it explains that they can be a convenient way to help with temporary cash flow difficulties, as they are a quick and easy way to get a small cash loan. This means that customers are able to pay for their bills and then just repay the loan on their payday. In some cases, this can be cheaper than forking out for bank fees.
Many financial professionals advise that you should try to keep some money aside as a safety net, should you be unable to meet crucial bills. This isn't always possible though as so many people across the UK are battling with pay cuts and rising costs. With things looking bleak on the horizon for our finances, it's not surprising that over a third of the people interviewed said that they thought it's only going to get worse over the next six months.
No More Costly Fees for Using Your Credit Card
Good news if you travel a lot, as this week it has been announced that the OFT are upholding a complaint put in by consumer group Which? regarding costly charges.
A blog post that I wrote around February time, talked about the fact that Which? found that many companies including airlines, ferry and rail companies, were adding hidden fees onto the amount that they charged you to pay with your credit card. In some of the worst cases, if a family of four tried to book airline tickets, they would have to pay an extra £40. That amount of money could make a massive difference to the costs of your holiday, especially if you aren't aware you're going to have to pay it.
Which? found that in some cases, the companies let the customers get to a very late stage in the whole payment process before telling them about the charges.
So, what will happen now is that the OFT will be checking to ensure that companies are clearly stating how much you will have to pay to use your card online. If this isn't done, then the company could face punishment. One of the reasons that the complaint was taken on was because customers were being deceived in some cases, and that it could have been cheaper for them to go elsewhere.
We definitely agree with the concept of not hiding any charges, as we are completely transparent when it comes to how much you will have to repay on your loan. This is all clearly laid out in our repayments chart, which you should check out for applying for any form of credit.
Which Sex Are Worst For Overspending?
I'm sure most of you guessed correctly, yes it's women. Not good news for us females today as research conducted by a short-term loans company found that 36% of women in the UK are overspending. These women surveyed admitted that they suffer from something called 'salary dysmorphia', which I'm sure a lot of us (both men and woman) are guilty of doing sometimes. This is the problem of spending more money than we are earning.
The research conducted showed than men aren't as bad for overspending every month, and the reasons given for women overspending were to provide for their family and to treat themselves. Also their main priorities are clothes, groceries and holidays (probably in that order).
In addition to the gender differences, research also found that the younger generation are the worst offenders for overspending. According to the research from the short term loans company, 34 per cent of 18-24-year-olds overspend on a regular monthly basis compared to just 24 per cent of over 55s.
If you are having trouble budgeting from month to month then you might consider a payday loan to help out with expenses. Although they shouldn't be used on a regular basis to stem financial difficulties, they could help you if you are struggling just before payday. They should not be used however, if you suffer from long term debts.

Sheridan Smithing Skills children planted a seed, then took it home and watched it flourish.

Retire Online with Social Security, Quickly and Easily
The idea of applying for Social Security retirement benefits might seem daunting, but it's not. There's no need to visit an office. You don't have to use the phone. We have an online retirement application that you can complete in as little as 15 minutes and from the comfort of your home or office. In most cases, once your application is submitted electronically, you're done. There are no forms to sign and usually no documentation is required. Social Security will process your application and contact you if any further information is needed. Continue reading
How the Rules Work for You
Retirement doesn't have the same meaning for everyone. Some people plan to retire and never work again. Some people plan for second careers in occupations that wouldn't have adequately supported their families, but they do the work for pure enjoyment. Some people, whether by design or desire, choose to work part-time or seasonally to supplement their retirement income.
Retirees (or survivors) who choose to receive Social Security benefits before they reach full retirement age (FRA) and continue to work have an earnings limit. In 2017, the annual earnings limit was $16,920 for those under FRA the entire calendar year. In 2018, it is $17,040. If you earn over the limit, we deduct $1 from your Social Security monthly benefit payment for every $2 you earn above the annual limit. Continue reading

3 Things You Can Do to Prepare for Retirement Right Now
Whether you just started seriously planning or are ready to retire, Social Security is the place to start. We're with you throughout life's journey, and that includes retirement planning!
The first thing you should remember is that Social Security replaces only a portion of your pre-retirement earnings. Most financial advisers say you will need about 70 percent of pre-retirement income to live comfortably in retirement, including your Social Security benefits, investments, and other savings. A solid retirement plan includes planning for more than Social Security. You can use Your Retirement Checklist to help you prepare.
When the time comes to take that giant step into retirement, Social Security's online services can help guide you in this new journey. Use these services to help prepare yourself for a financially secure retirement: Continue reading

How Special Payments After You Retire Affect Your Social Security Benefit
After you retire from your job or self-employment, you may get payments for work you did before you started receiving Social Security benefits. We call those "special payments."

These payments will be counted in the last month you worked, unless the services can be shown to have been rendered in a prior period. Continue reading

Butchers coffee
Kasteelstraat 57, 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium
Editor's Review
First off, it's not a Butchers anymore.
Butchers Coffee is a little South of the Grote Market, but worth a wander south for. Its expansive front terrace squares off onto one of the main routes into the city centre (but not noisily so), and whilst you'll see morning commuters hopping on and off, you will also find it very easy to get to on a city bike.
Locals seem to gravitate towards this coffee shop from all directions like there is some coffee-force in the universe. Walking up, greeting the team running the shop like old friends and then meandering off with a coffee.
It's a great place with a clear passion for coffee (sourced from Caffénation) that is very well executed, and the food is a level up from what you'd expect from an independent coffee shop.
The coffee was a little slower to arrive than most places, but if you're visiting Antwerp you are probably not in too much of a rush, and the calming terrace and coffee will make the wait worthwhile.
Cash only, no decaf.

The reward for helping to find the person who abandoned mutilated puppies in East Oakland last month has been increased to $40,000, Oakland police announced Wednesday.
Two 4-month-old female puppies, named Freya and Frigg, were found in a pile of garbage at 89th Avenue and G Street on May 26. Freya's jaw was broken and Frigg's rear paw was chopped off.
A third German shepherd puppy was found in the same area with a broken jaw on May 28.
Since then, the puppies have been recovering. Both of the puppies with broken jaws underwent surgery and are now able to eat.
Last Friday, District Attorney Nancy O'Malley announced that her office was investigating the case along with the Oakland Police Department.
O'Malley said it's likely whoever is hurting the dogs is also abusive toward people.
She said it appears that the perpetrator is using some kind of tool to mutilate the dogs and it's unlikely that it was a result of dog fighting.
Last week, O'Malley announced the reward for the capture and conviction of the person responsible was $15,000. On Wednesday, Oakland police announced the reward had been increased to $40,000.
Anyone with information about the puppies and the injuries they suffered is asked to call Oakland police Sgt. Robert Muniz at (510) 238-3728 or the Oakland Animal Shelter at (510) 535-5602.

The New York Times has been publishing an increasing number of video clips in the past year. The videos have included reporter commentary, TV news-style highly-edited pieces and spunky videoblog pieces by tech columnist David Pogue, media critic David Carr and others.
We understand that the Times has been successful in selling high-priced video advertising around its clips. It's certainly a growth area for the venerable publisher.
The Times has recently begun to make a number of clips downloadable through Apple's iTunes. To see this, go to iTunes and search Podcasts with the term 'New York Times'. You can also open up the iTunes page directly by clicking on the "RSS/Podcast" button from many Times video pages.
We have also learned that video clips are now available through the newTivo Cast.
This is a very interesting development for mainstream media. We learned late last year that CNET is providing downloadable files. Most mainstream media distribute videos by streaming Flash files, which cannot be saved.
Whether consumers will download news and commentary, it's difficult to say, but I believe that consumers will increasingly want to create video libraries, and newspapers can provide a great deal of valued video material from news to service information on everything from food to cars to health.
Speaking of David Carr, I had a great time interviewing him in Times Square last night. Stay tuned for the Carpetbagger himself on Beet.TV!
Here's the subscription page for the Times' Carpetbagger page on iTunes. You can download all of David's video's for free. They are very good!

Grayton Beach State Park
An award-winning natural beach amid a line of private oceanfront in South Walton County.
- Picture-perfect water and postcard-ready sand.
- A true natural wonder.
- In the heart of more mainstream beaches.
- Limited parking because it's so popular.
- Delightful, but somewhat small.
- In the heart of more mainstream beaches.
Amid the burgeoning development of South Walton County ("SoWal," as the ubiquitous marketing calls it) is one of the best beaches not just in the Panhandle, not just Florida, but in all of the United States: Grayton Beach State Park.
A frequent award-winner, this piecemeal park boasts the best of the region's oceanfront characteristics: Sand dunes, scrub oaks, turquoise water, gentle tides and that trademark squeaky sand, thanks to the unique quartz in the area. You almost forget that you're in the heart of a mass of planned developments and million-dollar properties.
What is now Grayton Beach State Park wraps around the township of Grayton Beach, the oldest coastal settlement in South Walton. (While the two form a symbiotic relationship, we've chosen to write about them separately.) The park runs both north and south of County Highway 30A, the main drag through the communities that have built up south of Choctawhatchee Bay.
The park opened in 1968 after the state obtained about 350 acres for parks use a few years prior. More land was added 1985, 1993 and 1995, leading to its current upside-down U shape.
The main park, with a mile of stellar beachfront, is south of 30A, east of Grayton Beach and west of the WaterColor development. There are campgrounds, a coastal lake for paddling and fishing and a pretty neat wildlife trail in this part of the park. North of 30A there are several hiking and biking trails, while duplex cabins with their own beach access are on the other side of the township. The park is also part of the Great Florida Birding Trail.
The mile-long beach has been among Stephen "Dr. Beach" Leatherman's top 10 beaches in the United States for years, topping the list in 1994. Most recently the state park came in at No. 3 on the list in 2018, up from No. 6 two years before that. All we can say is, he's not wrong to heap such praise upon the place.
Throw in just about any amenity you could want in the surrounding communities, and you've got the makings of an exceptional (and natural) beach destination.
Around here you'll see signs for County Highway 30A, which is the scenic roadway cutting through SoWal known throughout the area as simply "30A." The alternate route is the leisurely road south of U.S. Highway 98, from Topsail Hill Preserve State Park in the west to Inlet Beach at the eastern edge of Walton County.
Built in the 1970s to both serve and encourage the boom in vacation communities in SoWal, 30A has become the status-seeking calling card of the series of villages and neighborhoods along the largely privatized beaches in this neck of the Panhandle.
The designation is plastered on just about every available surface in the region via stickers, signs, t-shirts and billboards. It's become shorthand for a manicured and carefully curated Florida beach experience for well-heeled vacationers. These visitors mostly come from Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, and seem to outnumber people from any other state at least 5 to 1.
Because they are geographically close by, it's easier for most of these visitors to drive, but there are a couple of airports that serve the area.
Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS) is west of 30A, technically sharing runways with Egland Air Force Base in Okaloosa County. The airport has flights from several regional airlines like American Eagle, United Express and Allegiant, with expanded seasonal offerings. Typical ground transportation options are available, including rental cars, taxis, shuttles, buses and limousines. Uber and Lyft are available.
Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) is a brand-new airport just north of Panama City. Opened in 2010, it serves regional airlines similar to VPS, but ECP most notably offers Southwest flights. Similar ground transportation options are available, including Uber and Lyft ride-sharing options.
In any case, getting to Highway 98 is the key to reaching SoWal. State Road 79 comes south from ECP, while VPS travelers can either head south through Fort Walton Beach to get to 98, or take State Road 20 to State Road 293, the Mid-Bay Bridge across Choctawhatchee Bay. Drivers coming in from Interstate 10 to the north will most likely take U.S. Highway 331 south from DeFuniak Springs and cross the bay at Freeport. From Highway 98, virtually any southern turn will lead you to 30A.
The entrance to Grayton Beach State Park is a short drive east of County Road 283, which incidentally drives right into Grayton Beach itself. There is an admission fee, although the cost is less for pedestrians and bicyclists than it is for cars.
Being a state park, parking here is relatively straightforward. There's a main parking lot along the mile-long strip of beach, with bathrooms, vending machines and foot showers available. There's also parking at the boat launch into Western Lake.
Grayton Beach State Park is a popular park, and can get plenty crowded, especially on summer weekends. Weekday visits are far less contentious.
If you're looking to explore the trails on the northern end of the park, you're usually going to be fine. There's a small parking lot north of 30A for that section, although we will note on our last visit this lot was closed because of a prescribed burn in the area.
If you're staying in one of the rental cabins west of the village, you can park at your cabin and go to your private section of beach. There's also a few parking spaces at the access point, if you don't want to walk. A keypad allows access to the sand.
Bicycling is very popular in the area, with many people opting to take the bike trail that runs parallel to 30A for almost 19 miles from Dune Allen to Inlet Beach. Known as the Timpoochee Trail, it allows hearty vacationers to take one of their rental cruisers to the state park and chain up at the bike rack. We rode all the way from Seacrest with no ill effects.
Even with all the park has to offer, the main event is its mile-long stretch of beach.
It truly lives up to the hype, with a walkover crossing the dunes between Western Lake and the Gulf of Mexico, revealing white sand and jewel-toned water. A mile is plenty of room to tune out the WaterColor development to the east and Grayton Beach's cottages to the west.
Once you get into the surf, which breaks on a rise in the sand at the water's edge, you can see straight to your feet well offshore. That gives anyone who may be a bit shy about marine wildlife tickling their toes fair warning about mullet schools and seaweed tangles.
This is a family friendly and public access paradise. Alcohol is not allowed, nor is your dog (although dogs are allowed at the campground). Chairs and umbrellas are fine, of course, but there are no rentals on the beach.
One thing to keep in mind is that Western Lake, a coastal dune lake, occasionally meets the Gulf of Mexico at the western end of the beach in what's called an outfall. That's a stream that serves as a spillover to keep the lake from flooding, sending water into the gulf and essentially marking off where the village of Grayton Beach begins.
People can and do walk across from one part of the beach to the other here, although conditions can vary. If the water from the lake — which can vary from fresh to brackish — looks a little brown, don't worry, that's just tannic (decaying organic matter from the lake), which can't hurt you.
There are no lifeguards on the beach. A beach wheelchair is available to reserve through the park.
There are plenty of housing options at any of SoWal's neighborhoods. The main draw at the park is its campground and cabins
There are 59 RV and tent sites with electric and water, and even some with sewer hookups. Showers and restrooms are available, and some sites are handicapped accessible. As noted, leashed dogs are allowed.
There also are cabins, which are really more like duplexes for families. These can accommodate six people, and offer everything but TV and Wi-fi, which may be a dealbeaker for some. Cabins have gas fireplaces and their own beach access, but are behind a beachfront housing development to the south that is not part of the park.
Reservations can be made 11 months in advance through ReserveAmerica.
In addition to going to the beach or taking the trails north of 30A, the main parking lot just off the beach offers a trail that winds through the dunes and into the woods. A small hill covered in scrub oaks and magnolia trees offers a unique glimpse at an ecosystem in short supply pretty much anywhere in Florida. It carries on through a hammock with slash pine and salt marshes.
Western Lake is one of a series of 15 coastal dune lakes in Walton County. The lakes are a rare geographical feature found in far-flung locations in New Zealand, Australia, Africa, Oregon and in Walton County. Fed by freshwater sources like groundwater, rain, seepage and runoff, the lakes offer opportunities for licensed fishing and paddling just inside of the Gulf of Mexico. Canoes and kayaks are available to rent through the park. Licensed fishing also is allowed on the beach.
As mentioned, the Timpoochee Trail runs most of the length of SoWal's beach communities. While there are no bike rentals in the park, practically every neighborhood/township/village/development will rent you one for a reasonable hourly, daily or weekly price. The ubiquitous cruisers aren't great at off-roading, but they are fairly compliant and easy to use, even with coaster brakes.
There are no bars or restaurants in the park. Check our other SoWal profiles for lots of suggestions, or try these nearby options.
For an age, Fish Out Of Water was the fine-dining option around these parts.
The WaterColor Inn staple, situated in the development right next to Grayton Beach State Park, featured typical restaurant fare at the resort since it opened in 2001. But WaterColor, from St. Joe Club & Resorts, decided it was time for a change.
The menu, the kitchen and the dining room underwent a major overhaul, to the tune of $2.7 million. Even the name adopted a trendier feel, getting shortened to FOOW (pronounced "foo").
The result is a more laid-back, eclectic vibe, shedding any perceived stuffiness and showcasing a playful spirit. Executive sous chef Preetam Pardesh and chef de cuisine Christopher Mayhue combine forces to present a menu that combines South Asian and Southern U.S. flavors in a relaxed atmosphere.
A pimento cheese dip shares space with a cobia ceviche. A sweet tea fried chicken vies for attention from a well-made tandoori-grilled grouper gyro. New Orleans-style oysters and beignets join forces with what may be the most adorable side dish, spiced bubble chips (Ping Pong ball-sized potato chips that are a hoot to break in half with your tablemates).
Throw in seasonal live music, more-than-reasonable happy hour selections and prices and a free menu for kids (from 5 to 6 p.m.) and you have an ideal stop for an escape-the-heat lunch or a sunset dinner. The restaurant is open to the public, not just WaterColor guests, and has its own wine room with a prix fixe menu that takes large parties.
The Red Bar
An absolutely iconic bar and grill right off Grayton Beach, filled with eclectic decor in a rambling old building that used to be a general store. The menu is limited, but the food is good, and there's live music much of the time.
The archetypal roadhouse with seafood, steaks and live music. This joints turns into a late-night party spot on even the quietest nights.
Roux 30A
Elegant dining in Grayton Beach, with seaside-inspired cuisine and an open kitchen. They have a Sunday brunch with bottomless mimosas.
Besides campsites, boat rentals and the vending machines by the bathrooms, there's nothing for you to buy here. Please check our other SoWal profiles for nearby shopping.
Grayton Beer Company
There are two locations for the local beer brewer: The brewpub is right in the heart of Grayton Beach on 30A, while the actual brewery and taproom is on Highway 98 north of Deer Lake State Park.
Idyll Hounds Brewing Company
Just up Serenoa Road from Grayton Beer Company's taproom is this smaller option. Idyll Hounds plays more on the beachfront theme. Note that the taproom tends to close up early.
If you haven't noticed by now, bicycling is the way to go. Even if you're not good at it, don't rule out a bike rental. It make exploring and just plain getting around much easier — but beware Timpoochee Trail and 30A can get plenty dark after sunset.
The beach on the western end of the park can be practically deserted, since a keypad code is necessary to get to it. If you don't mind a few houses between you and the rest of the beach, staying in one of the cabins nets you a pretty secluded getaway.
The park is a great place to visit even if you don't plan on going to the beach, especially for the hiking and biking trails. Be sure to bring some sturdy shoes or boots to go along with those flip-flops.

★★★★ Our 4 Star Reviews ★★★★
Part 1:
Short but sweet!
After losing her mother suddenly to cancer, Charity Thompson quit medical school to concentrate on fundraising for hospitals like the one that tried to help her mom. This did not help her already rocky relationship with her father, a successful and well-respected doctor himself. Even knowing this would drive another wedge between them, Charity had to follow her heart. Despite their differences, she could not say no when her Dad asked for her help in planning a hospital gala fundraiser in honor of his sixty-fifth birthday. Juggling a new assignment in a different city, Charity had a juggling act to perform and was unprepared when the Chief Surgeon at her father's hospital suddenly became more than another set of helping hands. And what would her father say?
This is the first in a four-part serial romance that is short but satisfyingly sweet. The loss of her mother, the strained relationship with her father and the budding romance between her and the resident Chief was told in a comfortable, conversational writing style. I couldn't help but feel for Charity as she struggled with the career choice she made while still seeking her Dad's approval. Despite her success in her new career choice, she still felt the sting of his disapproval. Being attracted to her Dad's colleague brought another dimension to an already complicated situation. Could she risk a relationship with another doctor – one whose schedule was as busy – if not busier – than her own father's? Hearing about his many romantic exploits at the hospital didn't help either. An interesting end to part one has a medical emergency butting into their romantic evening. Am looking forward to the next in the series!
Part 2:
Family was not always easy…
This is part two of a four part serial. Charity Thompson is a hospital fundraiser who is juggling work commitments and a new romantic relationship while trying to rebuild a connection with her father. Charity accepted a two-year contract in Atlanta but could not say no to her father when he asked for her help in organizing a hospital function in his honor. Commuting to New York seemed a small price to pay. As the story continues, Charity is happily surprised when her new beau, Dr. Elijah Bennet, joins her in Atlanta during a milestone evening gala. A family emergency calls Elijah home to his native New Zealand and, despite her misgivings, she decides to join him. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned and leaving early to return home found Charity wondering if their fledgling relationship would survive. As Christmas approached, Charity found herself sharing a holiday meal with both of the men in her life – would this provide the healing they all needed or would it drive them even further apart?
This continuation of Charity's story brought more insight into her broken relationship with her Dad as well as seeing things with Elijah move forward. While Elijah was an extremely successful surgeon, and could have his pick of romantic partners, not everything was perfect in his life. His problems with family seemed to mirror Charity's own and provided much of the backdrop to this installment. With their own relationship now in trouble, I did find it interesting that two highly successful professionals, whose careers were all about problem-solving, immediately fell into silence to (not) deal with their issues. This is another well-written installment with only minor editing issues. The loving is hot while the drama is tension-filled - I am looking forward to seeing where this will go!
Part 3
I did not see this coming!
The third in the series ably carries on from the last with Charity and Elijah continuing to move forward in their relationship. Work commitments on both sides do not work in their favor as distance feeds uncertainty and jealousy. Even though Charity felt she had a breakthrough with her Dad over the holidays this seems to have re-opened old wounds even further. Though happy, and successful, as a hospital fundraiser, her Dad refuses to give up hope she will follow in his footsteps and complete her medical education. With her Dad's influence providing an opportunity to continue her medical studies, and Elijah applying his own influence to see her back in New York full-time, she feels the pressure building. Her feelings for Elijah continue to grow as she sees the success of another event in Atlanta before coming back to New York for her father's own gala. Surprises are around every corner and not all are pleasant. Parental pressure and career uncertainty may be the least of Charity's worries!
In my opinion, serials have a challenge to keep the reader eagerly anticipating the next in the series. While I'm not a fan of cliffhangers (my e-reader really dislikes being thrown across the room as I am left hanging by a book) a serial still needs to provide a hook or reason for me to want to come back. This chapter provided me with that and more with its hot romance, angst, jealousy and drama. The climax was a real surprise with the ending what I was thirsting for. I can't wait for the final installment!
Part 4
A great end to the series
Charity and Elijah were getting married! Despite the many obstacles, including a long-distance romance, a crazy stalker and struggles with family, they were ready to take the next step. Recovering from the shooting, Charity found herself happier than she thought she could be. Elijah was everything that she never knew she wanted. The planets were aligning and the wedding was fast-tracked to happen at Elijah's home in New Zealand. Shaky from the hearing and despite her misgivings about her future mother-in-law, she wasn't going to let that stand in the way of having the small, intimate ceremony she envisioned for her wedding. Her wedding dress seemed to just drop into her lap which should have given a clue that the shoe had to drop in a different way. A medical emergency in the midst of the festivities threatened her hard-won happiness but family would be there, as always, to see her through.
This fourth, and last, installment of the Saving Forever series brought with it a satisfyingly happy ending. The last year brought many ups and downs to her life but Charity kept true to herself and met each challenge and setback head on. A strong and self-confident heroine, I couldn't help but cheer her and Elijah on through each roadblock. While I had some misgivings about the "playboy" at first, he seemed to be a mixed blessing until each crisis revealed his true colours.With the story being spread out over four distinct installments, drama abounded in each but it never seemed soapy or over the top. A nod to family, sticking true to yourself and keeping yourself open to love - a highly enjoyable series!

Just 5 or 6 years ago, printing your own book through a "vanity press" was considered to be the last act of a no-talent author. If legitimate publishers would not accept your book, you must be a failure. Most library acquisition departments did not purchase a vanity press book, unless it was a town or church history.
Today, the stigma associated with self-publishing is mostly gone. Many best-sellers are self-published titles whose authors are not interested in signing with traditional publishers. Now, writers can digitally format their own books, or they can deal with online publishers like Amazon, Smashwords, or Kobo. Self-published authors are able to keep 60%-85% of e-books sales. Traditional publishers keep about 85% of net proceeds.
Traditional publishers formerly determined good from bad writing. Good writing was published and bad writing was discarded. Publishers covered the costs of promotion, printing, and distribution. Today, good writing is determined by readers through online reviews and e-book sales.
The real questions are: Who bests determines good from bad writing? Do readers need publishers to find good books? Do traditional publishing houses have too much power? Who should get the biggest piece of the pie, the author or the publisher? I think the reader ultimately determines whether or not a book has value. The real problem is navigating through all the junk to get to the good stuff.

Equities Market Perspective: Reasons to stay invested – fundamentals vs hope
Global equities started 2017 in a buoyant mood and in this month's update, Ritu Vohora Investment Director, looks at sustainability of the equities rally. Is this just the result of the so-called 'Trump boost' or do the fundamentals suggest a different picture?
The value of investments will fluctuate, which will cause prices to fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount you invested. Past performance is not a guide to future performance.

College Counseling
Choosing a college is about finding the right mix of academics, activities, location, resources, and faculty. The process of finding that "right fit" begins in 6th grade when Lake Ridge Academy's Director of College Counseling meets with Middle School families to outline the journey ahead. Students are first introduced to the college admission process at the beginning of their 9th grade year.
In 11th grade, the Director of College Counseling meets with each student and his or her parents to outline an individualized plan to find the college or university that best suits each student's talents, academic strengths and needs. During the senior year, all seniors attend Senior Seminar, which is a class led by the Director of College Counseling who helps guide the senior class through the college application process. The Director of College Counseling also works individually with every senior on his or her college application. To that end, seniors are provided with a wide array of resources that includes campus visits by college admission representatives, ready access to catalogs and view books, guides to every aspect of the admission process, and dozens of scholarship and financial aid guidebooks.

Annual Mini College Fair
In November, Lake Ridge Academy hosts an annual Mini College Fair, an event open to all area families to attend and meet college admission representatives from more than a dozen prestigious private and public colleges and universities. The evening includes keynote sessions delivered by subject-matter experts on pertinent college planning information like navigating the college admission process, saving for college, and learning how to apply for financial aid. The 2019 Mini College Fair was held on November 6, 2019.
"I've attended several State approved college fairs and multiple college nights that schools have organized on their own. The Lake Ridge Academy Mini College Fair is among the best communicated college fairs that I've attended. For one school to pull in 250 plus students from around the area to its first event was amazing!" - Ohio State University Admission Representative
Meet the Director of College Counseling and Strategic Engagement
Lake Ridge Academy is a special place with wonderful people that offers a stimulating intellectual environment. It has been my honor to serve as college counselor to hundreds of families during my many years at Lake Ridge. As I get to know the student and their parents, I work diligently to help them find the "best fit" for college. This approach often times leads to placement into some of the most competitive colleges and universities in the country.

Money, Cars, Motorbikes, and Planes
The Brazilian music style funk ostentação is the South-American version of the «pimp model» in U.S. rap. In his comment, Renato Martins asks why an MC would «sing about expensive cars and motorbikes». From the Norient book Seismographic Sounds (see and order here).
When I started to study funk ostentação – a derived style from funk carioca that MCs from São Paulo created in 2008, I never imagined I would discover that it is just a copy of the «pimp model» in American rap. Singing about money and wealth has always been part of Brazilian funk music, but it was never as strong as in funk ostentação. Before, funk music – as dance music – predominantly focused on the subject of sexuality. I asked myself, «Why does an MC sing about expensive cars and motorbikes?» and I soon recognized that funk ostentação changed the way these MCs were dealing with the topic of money completely.
Two distinctive parts of the ostentação movement can be identified: the kick-off and the definition. The first ostentação video by Kondzilla, main director of more than ninety percent of all ostentação clips, was «Megane» from MC Boy do Charme, an MC from São Vicente. Before recording, he invited a few friends to appear on the set. In exchange, they had to bring along their own expensive motorbikes and cars – swanky vehicles that create a contrast between the reality of their still poor neighborhood and the wish for a better life.
The second part of the movement started with «Plaquê de 100» from São Paulo-based MC Guimê. This is the moment when the video language stops being honest with its audience. Suddenly the video show under-contract dancers and models with rented cars and motorbikes. Instead of hanging around with a few friends, the genre started producing expensive music videos with professional staff. From then on, the songs and videos became just about money and the dream of being rich. The style of ostentação was consolidated.
The video medium itself became more and more a space for competition: who can collect the most expensive things on the set? They started with a Megane, continued with a Citroën, an Audi, a Ferrari or a jet ski, and ended up with helicopters and planes. All this material is very expensive – if not impossible – to own. Finally they reached the apex: there were no more lavish objects to show. And, as tends to happen with trends, new MCs began singing about other subjects and ostentação became old. In the Brazilian funk carioca culture, the artists would always sing about their lives. So, it's none too surprising that as soon as it's possible for them to buy new clothes – a comprehensible consequence of the economical boom, which started at the same time as the ostentação movement in 2008 – they would sing about it. But these funk MCs definitely lost any contact with reality when they started to sing about unaffordable objects.

07/11/18: Breckland seeks volunteers to help tackle food wastage
Did you know 15 million tonnes of food and drink is thrown away every year? That's the same weight as 2 million double decker buses. The average UK family wastes £470 a year by throwing away food and drink which could have been eaten, and £3 billion is wasted by companies in the food industry.
To help tackle unnecessary food waste, Breckland Council has developed a network of Community Fridges in Watton, Swaffham, Dereham and Thetford, helping connect communities with access to nutritious donated food, whilst saving money and reducing waste going to landfill. The community fridges, which are operated by volunteers, include tasty fresh fruit and vegetables, yoghurts, cheese, eggs and bread which are donated by local shops and supermarkets. The volunteers help collect donated goods from the local suppliers, weigh items and assist residents making collections. The approach means less food is wasted and local residents are able to pop in to their community fridge to pick up a few items that they need. The scheme has proven a big success, so much so that more volunteers and suppliers are required.
Cllr Paul Claussen, Breckland Council Executive Member for Place, explained: "Food waste is a huge problem nationally and we all need to do our bit to tackle the issue. This initiative makes it very simple and straightforward for local businesses to get food nearing its use-by date to those who could use it. So far the project has worked well, however we are always in need of new volunteers so we can collect up more food and help it reach even more people. If you can spare a few hours per week to help cut food waste in our society then get in contact and volunteer for the Community Fridge scheme. We are also looking for additional suppliers and allotment holders to help provide additional fresh food items that are nearing sell by dates, but could still be used for the wider community."
Cllr Claussen also urged residents to make good use of the fridges: "Whether you've forgotten to bring your lunch into work, or just want to drop by and see if there's anything you could use for your evening meal, the community fridges are for everyone and everything is free. What's important is that food is put to good use and is not wasted and sent to landfill, so I hope people will stop by their local community fridge next time they are passing."
An officer from the Council's Food Safety team is providing training to the volunteers to ensure their food safety knowledge is up to date. To volunteer for the Community Fridge Scheme or for your business to get involved contact Natalia Kalamboukis on 01362 656316 or email email@example.com for further information. If you are a resident looking use the Community fridges visit ourCommunity Fridges page to find out about their opening times and locations across Breckland.

Performance at SFJazz on 9/19/19
"Hanrahan felt the hand of serendipity. Earlier in the month, walking past City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco, he had noticed a volume in the window: A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane's Signature Album, by Ashley Kahn. Hanrahan went inside, flipped through the book, and noticed the album's recording date: Dec. 9, 1964. He was born exactly two years later, on Dec. 9, 1966: 'Unbelievable. It just rang in my head so much,' he says, 'the whole idea of playing music for a purpose. Why am I here? I needed something to get me through [...] and all I did was listen to A Love Supreme.'"
Richard Scheinin for SFJazz
A Love Supreme electric article - January 2018 "No one in the region has done more to make the full [Love Supreme] suite an active part of the repertoire than Santa Cruz drummer John Hanrahan. He's been performing the suite around the country in recent years, including a memorable set at the 2014 Monterey Jazz Festival, but the band he brings to Michael's On Main on Saturday approaches A Love Supreme from an entirely different angle."
Good Times - Santa Cruz, CA
"John Hanrahan's A Love Supreme project made a strong impact at the 2014 Monterey Jazz Festival. The music was powerful, on-point and created an emotional statement that paid true allegiance to it's inspirational source it's inspirational source".
Tim Jackson - Monterey Jazz Festival Director / Kuumbwa Jazz Center Co-Founder
"John Coltrane's A LOVE SUPREME took music to the outer edges, both spiritually and acoustically—it was quite literally far out in every way. But I don't think even Trane envisioned the addition of electricity to the mix. Turns out it works. John Hanrahan's A Love Supreme Electric Project will quite simply stir up your brain cells,
flood you with endorphins, and leave you shaken.
There's nothing quite like it." -
Dennis McNally - Publicist, Grateful Dead
A veteran of the creatively fecund Chicago jazz scene, Santa Cruz-based drummer John Hanrahan has made a strong impression in the area with his quartet's galvanizing performances of John Coltrane's prayerful masterpiece A Love Supreme. He gets an early start celebrating the golden anniversary of an epochal musical year with "Sounds from '67—Miles to McCoy, Jimi to The Beatles," a program celebrating some of the recordings that defined a transitional era, as rock embraced psychedelia and jazz musicians explored new structures and forms.

M-x butterfly 😂
M-x butterfly 😂
There are many things I don't like about "serverless", and there are also some stuff I like about it. But the main thing is that it looks very proprietary. In contrast to my Node, Django and .NET Core apps: they run everywhere on Linux, and probably Windows with some minor changes.
Leica cameras and optics are very expensive. A used Leica M6 and a used Leica lens is not far from as expensive as a Fujifilm X-Pro 2 with a 35mm F2. And they have always been expensive cameras. But you can see and feel the price when you use one.
The great thing about analog Leica cameras and in most analog cameras without auto focus, auto exposure, auto aperture and all of the fancy functionality that many photographers are used to today is that there aren't that much that can break. It might have a battery, but that is only used for metering, if it has a built in one. And that battery is a cheap standard battery you can get almost everywhere. The batteries used in my Nikon FM cost $8 for a 10 pack at Amazon. And they last forever.
I changed the batteries on mine yesterday, and I had used them for a year and a half; the only reason I had to change them was that I forgot to push the film advance lever all the way in.
What I love about film cameras is that you can pick up any camera(in this example a 35mm one) and take advantage of modern film technology; that includes the very first 35mm cameras produced as early as 1905.
That would be like using a 5D Mark 1 with a full frame sensor released in about 100 years. The battery technology used in most analog cameras aren't that old. But the one I use in mine are from the 70s.
If I would want to invest in a digital Leica like the M10, it would cost me around $10000 (with a 50mm Summicron, while a Fujifilm X-Pro 2 with a 35mm F2 would be around $2000. In other words, I could buy three generations of X-Pro 2's for the same amount of money. And a Leica M10 is not that much better, and if it is better than the X-Pro 2 at all is a discussion by itself.
The reason a Leica film camera except for the M7, is worth the money is that you can use it for like forever. Even if the button cell battery goes out of production. Because you don't need the meter for the camera to work. The only thing you need is rolls of 35mm film. I also think Leica will service more or less any Leica camera produced.
There are a few things Leica would have to figure out before I would even consider buying a digital M. If I'm going to spend that amount of money one any kind of camera it had to something I could use for the rest of my life, without feeling like I was using a outdated camera. If I bought a Leica M3 in 1954 it would still be a awesome camera (if taken proper care of).
To make a camera with that kind of longevity is not that difficult when it comes to film cameras, because the film is the sensor, and the rest is about betting on the right company and how well it's built. Leica know how to build stuff that last. But in order for a digital camera to work that well they would also have to make it possible to change and upgrade the sensor. And of course batteries that was standard, and would be available even if Leica went under.
I would also prefer it if that kind of camera much more minimal than the current M10; more like a M-D.
I found this interesting proposal for iterating over promises. Let's say you have a list of promises, you can iterate over them using for await (const elem of arrayOfPromises){}. As of writing this it is a part of babel and is in Stage 3.
Power management on iOS is usually pretty great. But there is one one thing that always drive me nuts. This is not a huge problem before your phone gets older than a year and the battery starts to degrade.
I take train to and from the office more or less every single day. Usually 3-5 days a week. And the receptions is poor most of the time. The way phones work when it is poor is that they start to increase the amplification of the cellar antenna to do everything in their power (pun intended) to get a connection. This means that your phone will use a lot more battery when the reception is poor.
This is how it works, and I don't have a huge problem with it in general. It's fine to do this if this is a place you only travel once or not that often. But when it comes to a train ride that I take every day, I don't think it's fine.
Apple knows where I am (GPS) and they know the reception is bad. How about learning that there are no reception here, and only re-try once a month or something?
I love Mozilla, I used the Mozilla browser back in the day, and I used Firefox up until the Chrome beta for OS X / Linux came out. But the best thing they do/have done is developer.mozilla.com
I have been using Overcast for all of my podcast playing since the day Marco released it. And while I have tested out other apps since then I have stayed with Overcast, for the same reason I stayed with Instapaper all the time I used a dedicated read it later service (I use Pinboard these days). The reason is not about features, because most of the apps have more or less the same features these days. But instead it is about the design of the app.
Overcast has great design. But it isn't the most beautiful app, and it isn't a turd either. There are four widely used podcasting apps on iOS, as far as I can see. Overcast, Podcast, PocketCast and Castro. I have only launched the official apple app once, and I have less than zero interest in it. PocketCast is a great app, but the design is not my kind of thing. It feels way too much like a Windows or Android app for me. And Castro on the other hand is too much in the pretty over usability camp.
Overcast is minimal, but still looks great. And is very easy to use.
I really enjoy using mu4e as my e-mail client.
