On 21 August 2012, NCEP will be upgrading the Short-Range Ensemble Forecast System (SREF). Details on the upgrade are available in the NWS TIN 12-30.
This is a significant upgrade as the models that the SREF is made of will be changing. Currently the SREF is comprised of individual Eta, RSM, WRF NMM and WRF ARW members. With the upgrade, the Eta and RSM members will be removed and NMMB members will be added. The native horizontal resolution of all the members will be increased to 16km. In addition, physics-scheme diversity will increase, as will initial condition diversity.
With this significant change, we wanted to share our updated NWP reference that Shawna Cokley developed. The reference provides details on the run time, number of forecast hours, horizontal grid spacing, vertical levels, and output frequency along with details on how the modeling system handles convection, microphysics, radiation, initial/boundary conditions and more. NWP systems contained in the reference include the RAP, NAM, NAM NMM-B nest, GFS, GEM, ECMWF, along with a variety of convection allowing models as well as the NAEFS and the SREF.
If you have any comments or notice any items that need attention, please let us know.

Line 3 #4 In Portugal
Published Feb 01, 2000This Montreal trio owes a lot to NoMeansNo — from playing style to dual vocals to the feel of the music. Not that it's a bad thing. They do forge out on their own occasionally with one electronic track and some new school metal à la Helmet and White Zombie, which makes an attempt to fit in, but falls a bit short. If you're into that bass-heavy style, you should get some listening enjoyment out of this. (Independent)

Time and Tide at Canary Wharf
The Galvanizing Project
Canary Wharf in London has been hosting a Winter Lights Festival for the public every January for the last five years. It is a magical event featuring beautiful light installations, which "draw upon state-of-the-art light technology to deliver spectacular artworks, installations and experiences – many of them interactive or responsive"[1]. This year's event was special to us, as it featured an installation galvanized by our Corby plant.
The Challenge
The installation – called 'Time and Tide' – was designed by artists Paul & Pute. Paul (from Manchester) and Pute (from Bangkok) met whilst studying for their Masters in Sweden at a Technology College.
'Time and Tide' is a mixture of architectural and lighting skills, built using steel bases and a central pillar, plus paper drinking straws and UV light from three Chauvet Professional Colordash PAR H12IP wash fixtures.
Because the Winter Lights 2019 theme centred around sustainability and environmental issues, Paul & Pute wanted to design an installation which "celebrated the elegance of technology, [but] also served as a cautionary sign, reminding people to guard against its excesses. With an alluring shape evocative of an hour glass, the structure symbolised that the ecological timeclock is running out… [However] it also offered hope along with its solemn warning. The geometric web of strings that made up the structure's surface was adorned with patterns created with paper drinking straws to remind people that there is an earth-friendly alternative to plastic models."[1]
"The paper straws were also illuminated with UV light, giving them a vibrant glow, to symbolise how our planet can become more vital and alive when ecological balance is restored."[2]
A13 Steel Ltd and Premier Galvanizing
'Time and Tide's' steel bases and pillar were fabricated by A13 Steel Ltd, using designs supplied by Paul & Pute. Each base was about 2-2.5m in diameter and the central pillar was about 4m high.
To protect the steel bases A13 Steel Ltd asked our Premier Galvanizing Corby plant to galvanize the steel. Galvanizing is important for steel because it provides a long-life, low-maintenance corrosion protection which safeguards steel from atmospheric attack.
A13 Steel Ltd have been a good customer of ours for a number of years, regularly asking us to treat their steel.
Premier Galvanizing Corby also managed the collection and delivery of the steel on behalf of A13 Steel Ltd.
The End Result
Here are some photos of the steel being galvanized at the Premier Galvanizing plant, and at its final destination as part of the complete installation.
John Frankland, Sales Manager at Premier Galvanizing said: "Once the project was complete and the lighting festival was underway, I was lucky to be able to visit London and see the installation amongst all the other stunning works of art scattered throughout Canary Wharf. We're always happy to work on projects for A13 Steel Ltd, and we were particularly thrilled to be a part of this project."

By nature, Icons are not drawn or painted. Icons are written. In the case of the Icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, we read and contemplate on the mystery of the passion of Christ Jesus announced by the Angels and the Sorrowful Mother, who accompanied Christ on his Redemptive journey to the cross. A loving gaze on this Icon of love is an encounter with the mystery of Lent. The Icon tells not the story of the Sorrowful Mother Mary but narrates the events of the paschal mystery of Christ her Son. Nevertheless, the Holy Mother Mary is dominant because she was the greatest figure in the unfolding of the Redemptive work wrought by Christ her Son and she remains the greatest Personage in human history to identify with our human crosses till today.
Lent calls us to pray, fast and be charitable. In the Icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, we encounter the Woman of prayer. Mary, Our Mother cherished the revealed mysteries and pondered everything in her heart of love (Luke 2:19, 51). Put simply, the Icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help is a contemplative Icon, calling us to prayer and meditation on the passion and death of Christ with the Sorrowful Mother journeying with Him to the last. And so, our going before the Icon this season of Lent, must remind us of our call to prayer that we may be fervent in doing Gods will in our daily sufferings and limitations.
Lent is a season of grace. Thus, the Church calls us to fast that we may drink abundantly from the wells of salvation at Easter (Jn. 4:14). Now, to fast is to practice the virtue of bodily self restraint from the use of material things. The primary essence of fasting is to return to the Lord (Cf. Jon. 3:5 ff). Fasting is a radical way of doing some violence to bodily desires that the spiritual hunger may rise (Cf. Mt. 11:12). In the practice of the virtue of self-restraint, we diminish the pleasures or desires of the flesh which is dust and increase the grace and fervor of anointing and the will of God in us. The Icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help is a perfect tool of meditation with regards to self denial. A look at the features of the Icon speaks volume to us on mortification. A meditative glance at the Icon introduces Mary to us as a woman of few words. Hence, we must mortify from talking too much or speaking uncharitably. The hole in her ear tells us to listen to one another as a virtue to imbibe. Her Icon tells us to fast from make-ups and dressing immodestly. It compels us to turn away from the things of this world and return to the things that eternally endure.
Being charitable in words and deeds are two things that Mary is known for. The Icon is loved and venerated as a gift from God to humanity because it finds a charitable expression in the lives of all. For the sick, the Icon brings the desired healing effect. For the troubled, the Icon soothes pains. For the dying, the Icon is the beacon of hope. For the sorrowful, the Icon is a representation of Marys presence with her children who are the products of her tears. For the barren, the Icon presents Jesus the Blessed fruit of Marys womb. For the prisoner, the Icon is the hope of the captive. For the sinner, the Icon speaks of repentance. For the Christian in this valley of tears, the Icon is the help of Christians. We can go on forever. It finds expression in the lives of all and calls us to also be there for one another. Its shows Marys closeness to her Children in love and calls us to do the same in our lifes row.
As Members of the Confraternity of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, and lovers of Mary, we are quite aware that we are all at the fore-front of making the graces of this Icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, known throughout the world as a mandate. We must promote her glories with fear and trembling. Our mandate is a Holy mandate. Mary herself takes the lead. We only try to catch up. And here is the starting point: conversion. We must be converted in order to convert anyone. Nemo dat quod non habet (You cannot give what you do not have). Conversion is an on-going process of the Christian journey. We must be open to that growth. In this season of Lent, reflecting on the features of the Icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help in our Novena is an invitation to embrace interior conversion that we may draw with joy from the wells of the Saviour at Easter (Is. 12:3).
Let us pray with Mary, mortify as she did and be charitable in words and deeds that we may truly represent who we are as her ambassadors. Amen.
May the peace of Christ reign in you all in this Lenten Season and always. Amen.

The Middle Class and Russia
The Ideological Subtext for the Consideration of the Problem of the Middle Class in Contemporary Russia
After making these necessary methodological refinements, we can finally raise the question: what is the middle class for Russia? What are its prospects? Is it important for us or, on the contrary, are discussions about it optional and secondary?
It is impossible to answer this without turning to one of the three classical ideologies (including the versions contained in each through the polarities of left and right).
If we take the position of right liberalism, the answer is this: we should not pay attention to the middle class; the most important thing is to secure maximum economic freedom (complete removal of government from business, taxes approximating zero, etc.), and everything will fall into place. Right liberals and consistent globalists are convinced that the growth of the middle class in Russia cannot be the goal, but will become a consequence of its integration in the global economy, the opening of internal markets for external competition, and the prompt dismantling of the strong national state.
If we take the position of left liberalism, then our attitude changes substantially. The broadening of the middle class is the number one task for our society, since the successful establishment of capitalism in Russia depends on precisely this, as does its integration into the international community, as a result. A small and weak middle class facilitates the degradation of society to lumpens and oligarchs and indirectly helps nationalistic and socialistic anti-liberal tendencies seize control over the minds of the population. Social injustice in access to starting possibilities, the volume of the underclass, and the slow growth of the middle class demand special attention and the execution of goal-directed policies, since the fate of capitalism in Russia depends on it. Hence, the struggle for the middle class is a slogan of left liberals. They are the ones who most likely raise this topic, since it is the core of their ideological positions.
If we are contemporary Marxists by inertia or conscious choice, then any mention of a middle class must evoke our rage, since this is the ideological platform of the sworn enemies of communism, bourgeois liberals. For communists, the following is correct: the narrower the middle class, the sharper the social contradictions and the more acute the imperative of the class struggle of proletariat against bourgeoisie. Thus, a large percentage of lower social strata and underclass against the background of prospering oligarchs is for communists the ideal social picture. For communists, the middle class is a lie, an evil, and its absence or underdevelopment is a chance and window of opportunity for revolution. If some "communist" thinks otherwise, then he is not a communist, but a revisionist and compromiser with the bourgeoisie.
If we are nationalists, then the middle class acquires for us an additional dimension. It is thought of as the skeleton of national society in opposition to the "immigrant underclass" and "foreign-born oligarchy". This is the peculiar notion of the middle class in the nationalist framework. And the cutting edges of this conception of the middle class are directed against oligarchs (the upper class) and immigrants (the lower class and underclass), and the middle class itself is regarded as the national class, i.e. as the Russian class, Russian entrepreneur, Russian proprietor, Russian bourgeois, etc.
It is entirely apparent that it is impossible to speak of the middle class as such, without adhering (consciously or not) to an ideological position. But since in Russia, according to the constitution, there is no state ideology, theoretically we can interpret the middle class however we want to.
The fact that this concept has become the center of discussions attests to the fact that in contemporary Russia, by the inertia of the 90s and early 2000s, precisely a liberal paradigm prevails. In the absence of a state ideology, liberals nevertheless strive to impose on us their paradigm as dominant.
Let's conduct a thought experiment: a discussion about the middle class is taking place in a socially significant platform, for instance on one of Russia's major television stations. Representatives of all possible ideologies of modernity are participating: Russian liberals, Russian communists, and Russian nationalists. The first (Russian liberals) say: "the growth of the 'middle class' and elevation of the level of wealth for the citizen of Russia is the main task of our society". The second (Russian communists): "illegal privatization in the 90s put national property in the hands of oligarchs; look how our people live in the provinces; there is utter poverty there". The third (Russian nationalists): "illegal immigrants are taking jobs from Russians, and they're all led by Jewish and Caucasian oligarchs. That is a catastrophe for the Russian middle class". Despite the fact that the viewers might like all three positions, the jury and "respected experts" will, undoubtedly, grant victory to the liberals. This means that we still find ourselves in the condition of the ideological dictatorship of liberalism. This despite the fact that society, recognizing the right of liberal discourse, fully and persistently denies it supremacy and absolute right; in contrast with the political elite, for whom liberal dogmas (optional, as are all ideological constructions) remain sacred and unshakeable.
From this we can draw a conclusion: the middle class and discussion about it reflects the ideological order of liberals in Russia's political and economic elite. If we do not share liberal axioms, then we will either not consider this topic at all or will give such an interpretation (Marxist or nationalistic) that liberals themselves will vigorously deny it – further from sin (in order to avoid atonement for the social and national crimes of the 90s).
The Fourth Political Theory: Beyond Class
In conclusion, we can conduct an analysis of the middle class in the context of the Fourth Political Theory. This theory is built on the imperative of overcoming modernity and all three political ideologies in order (the order has tremendous significance): (1) liberalism, (2) communism, (3) nationalism (fascism). The subject of this theory in its simple version is the concept "narod" [roughly: Volk, or "people" in the sense of "peoplehood" and "peoples", not "masses"], and in its complex version the Heideggerian category of Dasein. We can say as a certain approximation that narod must be thought of existentially, as the living, organic, historical presence of Russians in a qualitative spatial landscape, in the expanses of Great Russia. But if the subject is the narod and not the individual (as in liberalism), not two antagonistic classes (as in Marxism), and not the political nation (as in nationalism), then all the obligatory elements of the modern picture of the world change. There is no longer materialism, economism, recognition of the fatefulness and universality of the bourgeois revolutions, linear time, Western civilization as a standard, secularism, human rights, civil society, democracy, the market, or any other axioms of modernity. The Fourth Political Theory proposes solutions and horizons knowingly excluded by liberalism, communism, and nationalism. More on this is found in my book "The Fourth Political Theory" and my new book "The Fourth Way".
On the whole, The Fourth Political Theory, when applied to the problem of the "middle class" says the following.
The transition from caste to estate and from estate to class is not a universal law. This process can occur as it did in modern Western Europe, or it can fail to occur or occur partially, as is happening even to this day in non-Western societies. Hence, the very concept of class as applied to society has a limited applicability. Class and classes can be identified in modern Western European societies, but whether they replace the caste inequality of the soul and human nature is not at all obvious. Western societies themselves are confident that classes do so. But an existential approach to this problematic can call this into question.
The most important thing is how the human relates to death. There are those who can look it in the face, and those who are always have their backs turned to it. But the origins of the social hierarchy, the fundamental distinction between people and the superiority of some to others consists in precisely this. Material conditions are not decisive here. Hegel's interpretation of Master and Slave is based on this criterion. Hegel thinks that the Master is the one who challenges death, who steps out to encounter it. Acting in this way, he does not acquire immortality, but he acquires a Slave, one who runs from death, lacking the courage to look it in the eyes. The Master rules in societies where death stands at the center of attention. The Slave acquires political rights only where death is bracketed and removed to the periphery. So long as death remains in society's field of vision, we are dealing with rule by the wise and heroes, philosophers and warriors. This is caste society or estate society. But not class society. Where class begins, life ends, and the alienated strategies of reification, objectivation, and mediation prevail.
Hence, the Fourth Political Theory thinks that the construction of society on the basis of the criterion of property is a pathology. The fate of man and narod is history and geography, but in no way economics, the market, or competition.
The Fourth Political Theory rejects class as a concept and denies its relevance for the creation of a political system based on the existential understanding of the narod. Even more so does it reject the concept of the "middle class", which reflects the very essence of the class approach. The middle class, like the middle [average] person, is a social figure situated at the point of maximal social illusion, at the epicenter of slumber. The representative of the middle class corresponds to Heidegger's figure of das Man, the generalized bearer of "common sense", subject to no verification or examination. He is the greatest of illusions.
The middle [average] person is not at all the same as the normal person. "Norm" is a synonym for "ideal", that to which one should strive, that which one should become. The middle [average] person is a person in the least degree, the most ex-individual of individuals, the most null and barren quality. The middle [average] person isn't a person at all; he is a parody of a person. He is deeply abnormal, since for a normal person it is natural to experience horror, to think about death, to acutely experience the finitude of being, to call into question – sometimes tragically insoluble – the external world, society, and relations to another.
The middle class doesn't think; it consumes. It doesn't live; it seeks security and comfort. It doesn't die, it blows out like a car tire (it emits its spirit, as Baudrillard wrote [Symbolic Exchange and Death]). The middle class is the most stupid, submissive, predictable, cowardly, and pathetic of all classes. It is equally far from the blazing elements of poverty and the perverted poison of incalculable wealth, which is even closer to hell than extreme poverty. The middle class has no ontological foundation for existing at all, and if it does, then only somewhere far below, beneath the rule of the philosopher-kings and warrior-heroes. It is the Third Estate, imagining about itself that it is the one and only. This is an unwarranted pretension. Capitalism and modernity are nothing more than a temporary aberration. The time of this historical misunderstanding is coming to an end.
Thus, today, when the agony of this worst of possible social arrangements still continues, you must look beyond capitalism. At the same time, we must value and take interest in both what preceded it (the Middle Ages) and in that which will come after it and which we must create (a New Middle Ages).

I recently went a bit mad when it came to ordering lip products form the latest Avon catalogue, but I have always been a big fan of their lip products and they were quite heavily reduced so I made the most of the discounts.
I ordered 8 lip products in total, 5 tinted lip balms and 3 ultra colour lipsticks and it came to around £30, so about £3.75 each which is a bargain if you ask me.
I hadn't tried the tinted lip balms before and so I was a bit intrigued by them. I work in quite a heavily air conditioned office and so my lips can get really dry if I don't look after them, so these sounded the perfect products to continue wearing lip colour as well as protect them.
There are five shades available – Pearlescent Pink, Pearlescent Red, Reviving Raspberry, Soothing Strawberry & Protecting Peach.
I've swatched the three coloured ones below, but the pearlescent balms are quite difficult to swath as they seem to react to the colour of your lips. To be honest, I wouldn't recommend them as they just give your lips an almost petrol looking texture.
I am quite impressed with them with regards to the way they protect your lips and I have noticed that sicne wearing them to work, my lips don't dry out, but if you want to maintain the colour, you really need to keep reapplying a lot throughout the day.
The Ultra colour range is split into three categories: Satin, Shimmer & Soft Matte. I ordered one from the Satin collection and two from the Shimmer collection – I am yet to delve into the world of matte lipstick.
I chose these three soft pink/nude colours which really compliment my dark skin tone without being too OTT for every day to day use. I do love red lipstick, but I find I wear it mainly on nights out or when I am trying to make a real statement.
And here they are swatched – L-R : Blush Nude, Toasted Rose & Pink Dream.
They last much longer than the lip balms. I maybe reapply them once or twice throughout the day and that's all.
What are your favorite day to day lip care products at the moment?

Southern Soccer Academy is a founder member of the Southeastern Clubs Champions League, which offers regional competition between twenty-two of the most competitive clubs in the Southeast. The league offers elite-level competition across two divisions - with one SSA team in each division and in each gender in the 13U - 19U age groups (plus a 12U developmental league) - and features regular-season and tournament games.The SCCL League is managed by US Club Soccer, a National Association member of the U.S. Soccer Federation, that fosters the growth and development of soccer clubs in order to create the best possible development environment for players of all ages.Anchored by Players First and its five pillars of Club Development, Coaching Development, Player Development, Parent Engagement & Education and Player Health & Safety, US Club Soccer offers registration, league- and cup-based competition platforms, player identification and a variety of other programming, resources and services.FAQs:1. My child is in the 9U-12U Academy at the moment. How does the SCCL program compare?The Academy program shares many similarities with the SCCL program in terms of practice schedules (number of practices, the duration of season, and the year-long commitment for those joining through the May/June tryouts). There are some differences though:A. Rosters are much more 'concrete' at the 13U and above age groups, in that the majority of players are assigned to defined teams through club-wide open try-outs at a single location for the entire age group and those rosters remain the same through the entire year. While there is still some occasional movement (using the Club Pass system), it is not as commonplace as in Academy where a 'pool' roster (playing moving between teams) is much more typical. B. Coaches are assigned to teams and take their individual teams for all practices and games, which may not necessarily be the case in Academy especially if the player pool is large.C. Given SCCL is a regional league involving teams in neighboring states, an occasional overnight hotel stay will be required when playing out-of-state teams.2. My child is on the Recreational Program. How does the Recreational Program compare with the SCCL program?Aside the from the cost, the Recreational and SCCL Programs differ in the following ways:A. SCCL teams are coached by licensed and experienced staff coaches, while the typical Recreational team is often parent-coached.B. The seasons are typically longer, starting in July and finishing in December in the fall, then starting up again for 13U and 14U teams in February before finishing in late May. C. Players have to attend a tryout to join a team and the commitment it a year-long one for those joining through May/June tryouts.D. Select teams will typically attend additional pre- and post-season tournaments (at an additional cost), while Recreational teams may only play a regular-season schedule unless the coach decides otherwise.3. How are players assigned to SCCL teams during try-outs?Details will be announced in late April/early May regarding the dates, specific locations, and times for the SCCL team tryouts. SSA players, as well as players from other clubs are welcome to attend these tryouts if they are interested in playing on one of the two SCCL teams SSA will have in each age group and gender in the league. 4. Which location will my child's team practice and play out of?Given that the club assigns two teams in each gender and age group to the SCCL league, the practice location for each team will be determined based on the make-up of the roster. Home games are typically scheduled at the SSA Marietta location (Mud Creek/Marathon/Tramore) though given that the intent is to have all SCCL teams playing against the same opposing club at the same venue and on the same date as the other age group teams in the gender.6. My child is on a high school team. Is there a Spring season in SCCL? Not for the 16U and older age groups. For the 15U age group though, teams will typically play a regular Spring season consisting of 'friendly' games to allow for the birth-year split between middle-school 8th grade and 9th grade high-school players in the age group. The season will consist of regular practices and some league and tournament play. Please contact the program director for details.
7. How much travel is required?Given SCCL is a regional league involving teams in neighboring states, an occasional overnight hotel stay will be required when playing out-of-state teams given that the league is scheduled on a home-and-away basis for each division.8. How do the Select, DA, NPL, and SCCL leagues compare?DA (boy's program only) is the highest competitive level of play for SSA teams, while NPL and SCCL are both regional leagues, involving occasional out-of-state travel ( with the NPL League sitting just above SCCL in terms of competitive level for SSA teams.) Beneath these two regional leagues in terms of placement of SSA teams is the GA Soccer Select league. 9. What is the program cost?For a summary of the fees for all our programs, please click HERE.If you have more questions, please click on 'Contacts' and select 'Program Director' to bring up email and telephone contact information for the appropriate age group director.

When you want to increase the safety and security of your home, choosing the right home security provider is imperative.
More than 9 million property crimes were reported in the United States in 2010 alone.
Determining which security company is best for you and your family highly depends on the type of security equipment you are most interested in as well as any budget you have set in place for the system you have in mind. Whether you are seeking a fully-automated home security system or if you are looking to install and learn more about each piece of security equipment you invest in, it is important to understand all of your options before making an informed decision that is best for you and your household. Safeguard Home Security offers a myriad of security solutions and plans that work well for both residential and commercial customers.
Video Monitoring
Safeguard Home Security provides customers with the option of monitoring all areas of their homes or properties through state of the art video monitoring. Video monitoring that is accessible from just about anywhere with the use of computers and smartphones allows clients to keep an eye on any room or area of the properties they are security and protecting at all times.
Home Security Services
Safeguard Home Security is a well-known security provider that has been in business for more than 50 years. Traditional security packages available from Safeguard include:
- 1 Key FOB (for entering the property you are protecting without the use of an access panel)
- 1 Main control panel
- 3 Door Sensors
- 1 Motion Sensor
- Signs and Stickers
- 24/7 Monitoring
From the base package, customers are able to work with representatives of Safeguard Home Security to implement additional items and security equipment in order to create a unique and individualized plan. Choosing individual cameras, motion detectors, and sensors is ideal when you want a complete and robust system in place.
Home Automation
Another pro that Safeguard Home Security has to offer is its advanced home automation features. Home automation is now becoming more popular than ever with the advent of the internet and smartphones, allowing you to take complete and total control of the functionality regarding your home security system from any location, even if you are out of state or in another country. Home automation allows you to control thermostats, lighting, and even which doors or windows are locked throughout your home when you are not available to do the job yourself manually.
Contractual Agreement
While Safeguard Home Security offers typical and standard contractual agreements, they still bind new customers to the company and its services for anywhere from 3 to 5 years. However, if you are interested in reducing the time in your agreement, it is possible to pay a higher initial price in order to create a custom contractual agreement that works for you. Once you are locked into your contract, you are required to make payments for the security system of your choice throughout the entire duration of the contractual agreement itself.
Limited Warranty
Safeguard Home Security also provides a standard warranty on all of their equipment and security services. However, with Safeguard Home Security, there is no information readily available that discloses the length of the warranty and what is covered in its protection. Once your warranty has expired, you are then responsible for paying for additional equipment, upgrades, and repairs to your security products even if it is a manufacturer-related issue. Before you choose a company such as Safeguard Home Security, it is important to inquire about contractual agreements and warranties you qualify for prior to making a decision. Having a clear understanding of the terms and conditions you are agreeing to is essential to avoid potential upsets and spikes in your security services in the future. The more familiar you are with security company contracts and warranties, the easier it becomes to find a security provider that is truly right for you and your family.
Are you looking for an optimal home security system for you and your family? Visit ProtectAmerica.com to learn more about the security equipment and plans we have that are just right for you today!

- Economic optimism highest since 2007
But businesses still dragging heels on investment
New research from the Grant Thornton International Business Report (IBR), a survey of more than 3,300 businesses in 45 economies, reveals a spring surge in business optimism, with all global regions marching in step, despite a slowing of growth in some emerging economies. The data suggests that the recovery is moving onto a more sustainable footing and, with economic uncertainty declining, the hope is that businesses will renew investment in the coming months to ensure long-term growth.
The IBR reveals that net 44% of businesses globally are optimistic for the economic outlook, the highest since 2007, and a 17 percentage point increase from the previous quarter. And this confidence is in evidence across the globe: in North America (64%) optimism is at its highest since 2004, and in the EU and Asia Pacific (both 37%) since 2007 and 2008 respectively. In Latin America optimism rebounded from a four-year low in Q4-2013 to net 43%.
Furthermore, the proportion of businesses globally citing economic uncertainty as a constraint on ability to grow is down from 42% to 38% over the past three months.
Ed Nusbaum, Global CEO at Grant Thornton, commented: "The IBR data provides strong hope that the global recovery is starting to take hold. The rise in optimism closely mirrors recent growth of stock markets around the world - the S&P 500 closed at a new record high earlier this month. We have moved into the first prolonged period of economic stability since the financial crisis and while challenges remain (particularly in the eurozone, Ukraine and some emerging markets) firms can think and plan for the longer term.
"Importantly, business communities in five of the world's largest economies – the US, China, Japan, Germany and the UK – have all seen tremendous rises in confidence over the past three months. As major powers with significant cross-border ties, a more positive outlook in these economies is bound to trickle down to their trading partners and boost the global economy.
"With the IMF predicting robust global growth of 3.6% this year, we believe conditions are perfectly poised for dynamic firms to begin to invest more. We expect to see this pick up during the rest of 2014. There has been a marginal improvement in plans to invest in plant & machinery, but R&D has remained flat and not increased in line with optimism. As IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said recently, greater investment needs to happen if this new found optimism is to be converted into meaningful growth."
For the first time, business leaders in Ireland (94%) are the most optimistic in the 45-economy survey. Elsewhere, the US (up 30 percentage points to 66%), China (up 16pp to 38%), Japan (up 11pp to 17%), Germany (up 14pp to 65%) and the UK (up 12pp to 83%) all report soaring optimism.
Ed Nusbaum added: "The turnaround in Ireland is remarkable. We have seen a steady increase in business optimism over the past two years and now that the country has exited its EU bailout programme, confidence has rocketed. Around two thirds of business leaders in Ireland now expect to increase profits in the year ahead, up from just a quarter this time last year.
"However, the situation in Ireland, as in much of the eurozone, remains fragile, and while unemployment continues to fall, the economy actually showed a small contraction in Q4 and personal debt levels remain high. However, there's a lesson other economies can learn from the way policymakers have implemented a bold and decisive recovery plan. For local businesses, the hope is now that the months of painful adjustments are finally starting to bear fruit."

But the look we love the most is Scarlett at her most sultry, when she hits the red carpet with long blonde curls and knock 'em dead red lips. It's classic old school Hollywood glamour. So, in celebration of her birthday this month we've teamed up with the fabulous Miss Alex to let you into the secrets behind Scarlett's style and help you create your very own red carpet-worthy look.
First up, gather up your equipment so you've got it all to hand…
You'll need
- Your clip-in hair extensions
- Thick-barrelled curling wand
- Hairbrush
- Sectioning comb
- Hair clips or grips
- Hairspray
- Red lippy
All set? Let's do this.
Clip in your Lush hair extensions
Get started by applying your hair extensions, then brush them through to get rid of any knots or tangles. If this is your first time using clip-in hair extensions, you might want to check out our post showing you how to apply clip-in hair extensions before heading back here for your next step.
Now take your sectioning comb and divide your hair into a section along the base of your head ready for curling. Then clip the rest of your hair up out of the way for now.
Get curling…
To create those gorgeous bouncy curls, you need a thick-barrelled curling wand. Take a section of hair about the same width as your wand and wrap it around the barrel, keeping the hair lying nice and flat onto the iron rather than twisted around it. This will give you a fantastic defined curl, rather than a beachy wave (a hot look for another day). To make sure all of your curls are flowing away from your face like Scarlett's, wrap your hair behind the wand, not in front of it – watch how Alex does it if you're not sure!
As you release the curl from your wand, gently catch it in your hand. Then roll it back up towards you head and clip it to your head while it cools. This will give your curls better definition and help them last longer. If you're pushed for time, you don't need to clip all of your curls, just the ones around your face.
Now repeat the exact same process on other side of your head, making sure you curl the hair away from your face.
Set your curls free
Once your curls have cooled, it's time to release them! Carefully unclip them and let the curls unravel. Once you've let put this entire bottom layer of curls, give them a good spritz of hairspray to hold them in place.
Now let down the rest of your hair and create a new section above your curled section, before clipping the rest of your hair back up on the top of your head.
Repeat the curling and clipping process with the next layer of hair and so on and so on…
When you reach the top layer of your hair, take your comb and create a side parting. Then curl your top layer of hair in the same way again.
Give your look the finishing touches
Now you're the proud owner of a head of Scarlett-esque curls, all you need to do is take your hairbrush and brush through all of your curls to give them that beautiful loosely flowing look.
Add a slick of red lippy and you're so ready for your red carpet moment. Sadly, you'll have to find your own sexy French husband – sorry ladies!

Whole 30 – Take 3
For the last three years, I have attempted a Whole 30 at the start of the New Year. (For those of you unfamiliar with the Whole 30 Program – you can read more about it here). My first attempt was half-hearted. Mike's CrossFit gym (which is now mine as well) was hosting a gym-wide challenge. He had decided to participate – and because he cooks all of the meals in our house I ended up participating by default. We were strict for a few days, however, after a few minor "cheats" we were back to our old eating habits within the first two weeks.
Last year I tried again and did much better. I remained completely compliant for about 2 1/2 weeks until our vacation to San Diego. While I know that Whole 30 is about "no excuses," we take such few vacations (only one every few years) I wanted to fully enjoy the experience (food included). I did notice a significant change for the time that I was following the program – but couldn't muster up the motivation to try again once we returned back home.
This time is a little different because my motivation is different. Isabella has demonstrated a number of minor digestive issues that seem to be linked to certain types of food. My hope is that by eliminating many of the traditional "trouble" groups she will see some relief. Moreover, my own autoimmune issues are flaring up something fierce and since I am nursing I cannot take my normal medication and am hoping that such a diet will also help to reduce the inflammation. Because I am nursing, I have to be sure that I am still eating enough calories, which means adding in more snacks than I typically would otherwise.
To be successful with a Whole 30, the most important thing is to go in prepared. This means doing a grocery shop BEFORE starting the program. Although there are a ton of great Whole 30 recipes out there – food doesn't have to be complicated to be compliant. Through my prior failed attempts I have learned that complicated meal planning increases the probability of cheating (because who wants to spend a lot of time cooking when they are hungry?) Our staple meals are fairly simple – chicken breast or hamburger patty, veggies, and/or potatoes. Compliant condiments or sauces help alleviate the boredom and keep things easy.
Today is Day 7 and I feel like I am starting to get into the grove. My cravings have subsided as I get more familiar with my options. Snacks continue to be the hardest – especially with a newborn. Whereas I typically would reach for gluten free pretzels or cheese sticks, my current snacks tend to require a bit more preparation. If I don't have the time (or a free hand) I have found Lara Bars and homemade trail mix (walnuts, raisins, and unsweetened coconut flakes) to be easy options. I'm excited to see what the next week will bring!
Who else is doing a Whole 30? What are your favorite meals/snacks?

Last year was the first year that Mia was old enough to really celebrate Halloween, and the little girl was so excited about it. The 2-year-old dressed up as Poppy from the movie Trolls — in a blue satin dress and a large multicolored headband, complete with a shock of pink hair — and headed out with her parents and brother to go trick-or-treating.

Cialdini's Influence Principle:
Liking & Guilt by Association In Relation To SEO Clients.
Why I Turn Down 50% Of Clients Nowadays.
There's an incredible marketing book called Influence by Robert Cialdini, by many it's considered THE single best marketing book of all time. For me it's definitely in the top 5.
Re-reading this week I spotted something that unconsciously I think I may have picked up in the past 6 months. The basic principle is guilt by association OR conditioned association.
I'll give a quick explanation for anyone not familiar with this principle.
The basic principle is as follows and dates back even as far as when your parents would say: "Don't play with the bad kids in the neighbourhood" – Why would they say this, even if you weren't going to do anything wrong?
Guilt by association. Is the reasoning.
So WTF has this got to do with marketing and more specifically an SEO agency?
Well, about 6-9 months ago I stopped taking on what I term "bad" clients. To some this might seem like an arrogant statement and it's tough to do at the start when the money is on the table, but most successful agencies in any industry will tell you the same thing – Bad clients are worse than no clients.

And all these things I do not mention, 2018
A small 35mm slide projects an image of a pond. The angle of the image and its projection cast down onto the tranquil water but the eye is drawn back towards the material, the slide, which is damaged. Light has burnt the celluloid and melted the image shifting our focus back to the material but, at the same time, beyond the waters surface.
Dreaming of Dead Fish was an exhibition of newly commissioned artworks informed by research at Warrington Museum & Art Gallery. For the exhibition, Leighton-Boyce presented un-accessioned items in the museum collection alongside glass, soot, and slide film and projection.

To schedule an appointment with Megan DeJong please call 708-590-5304.
Robotic Surgery
Megan DeJong, M.D., is an obstetrician and gynecologist who treats a broad range of women's health issues in patients of all ages. Her areas of interest include general obstetrics and pregnancy, abnormal vaginal bleeding, cervical cancer prevention, and robotic and minimally invasive surgery. She also is certified in the practice of robotic surgery.
At the core of Dr. DeJong's philosophy of care is the patient. "Most women spend their whole lives taking care of their families," she says. "It is a special privilege to care for and empower these women. I may meet a young woman when she comes in for her first gynecological exam, take care of her through the birth of her first child and then follow her into menopause. I have the opportunity to grow with my patients and really get to know them, and one of my guiding principals is to listen before I speak. Every story is different and every patient should be treated as an individual."
Dr. DeJong comes to Palos Medical Group from Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, where she completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology. She received her medical degree from Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine. Dr. DeJong was born into a family of physicians and raised right here in Orland Park.
Dr. DeJong's office is located in the Palos Primary Care Center, 15300 West Avenue, Orland Park. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please contact Palos Medical Group at (708) 590-5304.

UK lawyers chasing Irish registration due to Brexit fears
Of all the solicitors who are currently registered in Ireland, 9% are from either England or Wales. Many of these professionals took the decision to register in Ireland after the UK's referendum which voted in favour of leaving the EU.
From the start of 2016, a total of 1,644 English and Welsh professionals have chosen to join the Irish Roll of Solicitors which, as an organisation, comprises of over 18,000 members overall. Just 186 of these signed up before the referendum in June 2016, with more choosing to sign up once the results of the referendum were announced.
Before the start of 2016, less than 100 English and Welsh solicitors chose to register in Ireland on an annual basis. Many English and Welsh solicitors working for global firms worry that they could lose the right to be the representatives of European clients after Brexit takes place. It is thought that by pursuing an Irish registration, there will be more chance of retaining European clients.
The director general of Ireland's Law Society states that it is understandable that lawyers are choosing to be cautious, with so much uncertainty over what Brexit will mean. There are still many larger law firms that have no plans to have any solicitors registered in Ireland at all.
It is unclear how this is going to work in the long term, however in addition to registration, solicitors will also need to gain a certificate of practice in Ireland, which only a small proportion have managed to do thus far. Amongst the top firms who have registered professionals in Ireland in recent years are Eversheds Sutherland, Freshfields, and Slaughter and May.
It seems that many have taken the choice to register in Ireland as a contingency plan, depending on the overall outcome of Brexit. There are concerns that any decisions made in London courts won't be enforceable in EU countries, and for this reason many larger firms may still prefer to hold cases in EU courts. However, thanks to an overall preference towards English law, there is a chance that all concerns will be unnecessary.
Whether you are a solicitor who is registered in Ireland and are looking for a move to a company who would value this, or you are a solely registered in this country, we have plenty of career opportunities for you.

Stomachs at the ready guys, Westpoint's Twilight Food Market is returning to Blacktown this month. Coming along for the ride are some of our favourite street food trucks and vendors, to bring us one eclectic (and delicious) foodie line up—just the way we like it. We're talking Knafeh Bakery, Berlin Bangers', Tsuru and Gozleme King, and that's just for starters (we told you it's epic, don't say we didn't warn you).
Other honourable mentions go to Mate Burger's American and Filipino fusion street food, Hoy Pinoy's Filipino barbeque and the brand spankin' new Taco Lane, which is the brain child of the same guys behind Tsuru and they'll be serving—you guessed it—tacos.
For dessert, you'll be scoffing the Cake Smash—the tasty food baby, born from a collab between N2 Extreme Gelato and Black Star Pastry. It's basically a mash up of the popular watermelon cake by Black Star Pastry, and N2's Ferrero Reveal (chocolate hazelnut gelato with crushed hazelnuts, a rice bubble choc top and chocolate ganache pipette).
In the way of entertainment, Sydney Acoustic Duo will perform on all three nights of the festival from 5pm, and their chilled out music is everything you'll need to keep you in a state of foodie zen as you sample every dish on every menu.
