*The Following Virginia and New Kent County supplemental forms are included as a courtesy with your order.
Virginia Land Record Cover Sheet (VLRCS)
When recording a real estate deed in Virginia, a bar-coded, cover sheet is required in many counties/cities. This form must be generated online at the Virginia courts website. The information sheet provides a link to the form generator and further instructions. Contact the local office to confirm whether this cover sheet is required.
VA Circuit Court Deed Fee Schedule
This detailed schedule lists amounts by instrument and includes taxes, both due at the time of recording. We advise customers to contact the local court in order to confirm the amount.
Certificate of Transfer
Use this form for protection of assignees or transferees of debts secured by real estate.
Notary Certificates
The supplemental forms in this section can be used as loose certificates by notaries in Virginia.
Virginia's statutory transfer on death deed became effective on July 1, 2013. These deeds are governed by the Uniform Real Property Transfer on Death Act (URPTODA), which is incorporated into the Virginia statutes at 64.2-621 et seq.
A transfer on death deed is an instrument that allows owners of Virginia real estate to convey land to chosen beneficiaries without the need for a will or probate distribution ( 64.2-624). To be valid, the completed and notarized form must, among other things, meet the same standards as a regular inter vivos deed (one that transfers title while the owner is still living); state that the transfer will only occur at the owner/transferor's death; and be recorded <i>while the transferor is alive</i> in the land records at clerk's office of the county where the property is located ( 64.2-628).
The deeds are revocable, which means that while alive, the owner retains 100% control over the property, may use or sell it as desired, and may also redirect, modify, or even cancel the future transfer at will. As a result, there is no requirement for notice, delivery, acceptance, or consideration, all necessary for standard deeds ( 64.2-629). This is possible because the named beneficiaries only have a potential future interest in the real estate. The process and requirements for revocation are specified in 64.2-630.
During the owner/transferor's life, the recorded transfer on death deed does not change the owner's interest or rights to sell or mortgage the property; grant the beneficiary any interest in the land; change a creditor's interest in the real estate; affect the owner's or beneficiary's eligibility for public assistance; create a legal or equitable interest in favor of the beneficiary; or open the property up to claims from the beneficiary's creditors ( 64.2-631).
When the transferor dies, the title to the real property vests in the beneficiary according to the rules stated in 64.2-632. In some cases, however, the beneficiary may not wish to accept the property. If that happens, he/she may "disclaim all or part of the beneficiary's interest as provided by Chapter 26 ( 64.2-2600 et seq.)" ( 64.2-633).
Overall, Virginia's transfer on death deed adds an efficient, flexible tool for those considering options for estate planning. As with other important financial decisions, take the time to carefully review the different options. Each case is unique, so when in doubt, contact an attorney or other appropriate professional for advice.

I only wish there were automated emails for all those communications and once documents were accepted, but I did receive a couple personally-generated emails regarding the progress instructing me to check the site.

STAMFORD, Conn.—Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide announced that its Aloft brand has debuted in Cupertino, Calif. Aloft Cupertino is the brand's third hotel in California and its first in Silicon Valley. Owned by Shashi Corporation and managed by Azul Hospitality Group, the hotel offers 123 guestrooms.
"We are thrilled to bring Aloft to Cupertino where we expect it will emerge as a favorite with savvy travelers and area professionals in a community that buzzes with excitement, innovation, and thought leadership," said Brian McGuinness, Senior Vice President, Specialty Select Brands for Starwood.
Hotel amenities include an indoor pool, w xyz bar, 24-hour fitness center, and 1,350 square feet of flexible meeting space. Aloft Cupertino is also pursuing LEED certification and offers many environmentally friendly programs and design elements.
Los Angeles-based Canyon Capital Realty Advisors (CCRA) provided the senior construction loan for the project, which was used to purchase the land and construct the brand new hotel.
Showcasing many of the brand's newest technologies, Aloft Cupertino is the first Aloft hotel to feature Apple TV in all its guestrooms. Guests can choose among thousands of movies and TV shows from iTunes, connect to Netflix for films, Hulu for television shows, and MLB.com for sports. Apple TV's Airplay feature will also let guests play video, show off photos, and enjoy music from any iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch – right on their 42-inch LCD in-room TV. In the lobby, guests can access "Cool Concierge," a tablet-based concierge program that guests can use to look up directions, phone numbers, make reservations, check their flight status, and print boarding passes. Starting in March, the hotel will also offer Smart Check-In, allowing guests to bypass the front desk and go straight to their rooms using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology.

Choosing a hosting provider to host your Magento site is one of the most important decisions you will make. This post is part of a multi-part post series that discusses the different approaches to selecting a Magento hosting provider. I am hoping this discussion will help you make the right decision and give you a few tips to look for when making your decision.
To start with let's get a few things out in the open to help level the playing field between hosting providers. Most site owners start their search by calling up their chosen solution integrator (SI) and asking for recommendations. Quickly you will get back a very short list and advise on what provider to go with. What you might not know is that the SI probably has a horse in the race when it comes to where you take your hosting business.
The majority of hosting providers provide some level of financial kick back to the SI for each client that they bring to their service. If you are working with an SI that is reputable they will have no problem disclosing this relationship and most do so up front.
What are you getting out this relationship by using the provider that your SI recommends? In all honesty, you get a much better level of service and price from the hosting provider. Over the past 6 years, we have referred a large number of clients to various hosting providers. In each of these cases, the clients got much better pricing and contract terms compared to what they would have received by just calling up the general inbound sales line. To understand why this is the case you need to understand a few factors that are going on behind the scene between your SI and the hosting provider.
- Your SI has the motivation to ensure that you use a hosting provider that will work for your site. Imagine if your SI recommends a hosting provider that does not deliver for what your site needs. Not only are you going to be disgruntled at the hosting provider but at your SI as well. Here at Orange Collar, we have been an SI for over 6 years. I can tell you from first-hand experience that if a recommendation we have given to own client starts to go south it does have an impact on our relationship with the client. Trying to avoid disgruntled clients keeps us motivated to suggest hosting providers that will help make for happy clients.
- On the opposite side the hosting provider has motivation for the SI to keep sending them business. In an effort to maintain this sales channel they attempt to make the process as easy as possible for the SI to recommend a service and get the client signed up. Because the SI will be in the middle of this relationship most hosting providers will start off with excellent pricing and contract terms. They know that the SI does not want to become a negotiator and they want to close the deal as quickly as possible.
The greatest benefit that a client is receiving by going with this recommendation is how issues are handled. Hosting issues do happen and when they do normally your first call is to your SI to "fix it". If you went with your SI's suggested hosting partner it starts to pay off in this moment. Your SI will have a dedicated contact person for the hosting provider and access to 2nd tier support directly. The developers at your SI will have the ability to quickly get an engineer on the phone avoiding the frustrating tier 1 tech process that you would normally have to go through. This is due to the relationship that the SI has with the hosting provider. There is a level of trust that is built where the 2nd tier support engineers at the hosting providers know the SI engineers and can skip past the elementary troubleshooting steps. Having this existing relationship can at times shave hours off resolving support incidents, that in turn can save you thousands in lost revenue.
Due to these factors, I would recommend that you go along with the hosting provider that your SI suggests.
In my next post, I will discuss how to evaluate different hosting providers on your own.

BUCHAREST: Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Friday (Apr 5) that France would stick to plans for a tax on digital giants such as Facebook and Apple, despite displeasure in Washington.
"We are determined to implement a tax on the largest digital companies to bring more justice and efficiency to the international tax system," Le Maire said as he arrived in Bucharest for talks with his eurozone counterparts.
France last month unveiled draft legislation to set a three percent tax on digital advertising, the sale of personal data and other revenue for any technology company that earns more than €750 million (US$841 million) worldwide each year.
The effort comes amid rising public outrage at the minimal tax paid by some of the world's richest firms which base operations in jurisdictions that charge low rates.
France drafted the law after a European Union-wide effort it championed was scuttled by low-tax countries such as Ireland, which have wooed big technology firms.
Other countries are considering following France's lead including Britain, Spain, Austria and Italy.
Le Maire spoke just hours after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo raised his objections to the tax as he met French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian in Washington.
Pompeo said the tax would negatively impact US companies "and the French citizens who use them", according to the State Department.
France's Le Maire insisted that Paris would work closely with the US to draw up a global tax reform at the OECD, the organisation of developed countries.
This was the "better solution", Le Maire said, adding that he would hold talks with his US counterpart Steven Mnuchin next month to accelerate this process.

When videos recorded on a DV camcorder tape are captured into DV AVI files on a PC, the time codes (date/time when the tape was recorded) are transferred along with the ideo/audio data to the files. But the time codes are not visible when you view the DV AVI files. When you use DVD author tools to convert the DV AVI files to DVD files, the time codes get lost. By using Visual DV Time Stamp (vDTS), the time codes are extracted from the DV AVI files and superimposed onto the videos. This way the date/time will be visible when you view the DV AVI file, consequently the DVD you make from the DV AVI files will have date/time displayed.

Microdermabrasion is a procedure usually performed at a medical spa for enhancement and brightening of the overall facial appearance. Patients may present with complaints of dull skin texture, or superficial skin irregularities that just need a little freshening. It is more aggressive than a facial, but much less aggressive than dermabrasion. Although the terms are related, the "micro" in microdermabrasion arises from the fact that originally, little tiny crystals were used as an exfoliant within the hand piece to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. More updated equipment relies on different methods of liquid exfoliation, but the effect is the same. Downtime is minimal if any, usually resulting in a few hours of redness or mild irritation of the skin, similar to the sensation of a mild sunburn. It's important to reduce or eliminate sun exposure after any exfoliation procedure, but other than that, it is a relatively pain-free and uncomplicated endeavor. It may require repeated or regular appointments for maintenance of ideal skin tone. Microdermabrasion can be performed on all skin types and colors safely because the injury is very superficial.
Dermabrasion, on the other hand, is a much more involved procedure. Often performed under sedation or local anesthesia, depending on the area treated, it may even require the use of an operating room. A surgeon or dermatologist will use a special instrument that actually "sands" the top layers of the skin to reveal deeper, fresher skin. Patients in need of dermabrasion may present with deeper scars, acne scars, or traumatic tattoos from motor vehicle accidents or other trauma that require aggressive resurfacing. Recovery takes a week to 10 days depending on the depth of abrasion, and often the skin in the area treated appears lighter or redder in color for several weeks after treatment. As always, sun avoidance and sunscreen are imperative in the healing period, and some time off work is often needed to allow for postoperative wound care. Dermabrasion can be performed safely on most patients of light skin colors, but is often not recommended or very carefully performed on patients of Mediterranean, Asian, Hispanic or African American backgrounds because irregularities in skin color can arise easily if performed aggressively.
At the Emory Aesthetic Center, we request that all prospective patients meet with one of our aestheticians or board certified physicians before undergoing any procedure, allowing us to formulate a treatment plan based on your specific needs, outcomes and recovery time. Let us help you come up with a plan to achieve your desired results.

August 27, 2009
Nearly all elected officials in New Mexico released statements Wednesday lamenting the death of Sen. Edward Kennedy. Even the state Republican Party e-mailed a missive praising Kennedy for his "dedication and passion."
Most were predictable. But the statement of Gov. Bill Richardson — who is on a trade mission in Cuba this week — had one line that caught my eye.
Kennedy, the governor said, "was probably responsible for my first victory in Congress, and became a political mentor of mine."
I researched that 1982 race a couple of years ago for a story I wrote back when Richardson was running for president. And I don't remember Kennedy being a major factor.
It's true that Kennedy came to Santa Fe at least once in 1982 for a Richardson campaign event. A Sept. 27, 1982, New Mexican article, written by my late former colleague Bob Storey, documents a rally at the College of Santa Fe that attracted more than 2,000 people. The story was headlined "Kennedy thrills Democrats."
"I believe in a party, a Congress, a country and state that cares about prosperity and hope and opportunity for our people, so does Toney Anaya. So does Jeff Bingaman and so does Bill Richardson."
For those not around that year, Anaya was the Democratic candidate for governor while Bingaman was the Democrat running against incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Harrison Schmitt.
It was a good year for Democrats in the state. Anaya and Bingaman both won, as did the 34-year-old Richardson in the newly created 3rd Congressional District. He got about 64 percent of the vote that year.
But was it Kennedy who turned the tide for Richardson?
The truth is, Richardson would have beaten Republican Marjorie Bell Chambers in the heavily Democratic district with or without Ted Kennedy. Basically Richardson won the seat when he won the Democratic primary that June.
As Richardson himself (or perhaps co-author Michael Ruby) wrote in his 2005 biography Between Worlds, "The 1982 general election was a breeze compared with the primary."
Indeed, it was a hard-fought and heated primary in which Richardson defeated Lt. Gov. Roberto Mondragon, political newcomer Tom Udall and a state judge named George Perez.
Checking the book: If Kennedy had anything to do with winning the 1982 Democratic primary, Richardson said nothing about it in his autobiography.
In fact, assuming the index is correct, there are only two mentions of Ted Kennedy in Between Worlds.
One is on page 27, when he was talking about the assassinations of John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy. "I liked all the Kennedys. I was very upset when Bobby was killed in 1968. Years later, Ted Kennedy came and supported me in my first run for office."
However, just 49 pages later, Richardson talks about his first run for office in 1980 when he challenged incumbent Republican Congressman Manuel Lújan.
"I appealed for help from some big guns," Richardson wrote. "I'd endorsed Sen. Edward M. Kennedy in his (1980) run against President Carter. Kennedy made several trips to New Mexico to campaign for his own candidacy, but he wouldn't campaign for me because his staff people said I didn't have a prayer."
I assume in that first reference the governor actually was recalling the 1982 election, when Kennedy did campaign for him.
Memorial for Teddy: The state Democratic Party has planned a candlelight vigil for Kennedy at 8 p.m. today at Civic Plaza in downtown Albuquerque. Those attending are asked to bring their own candles.
Please check out my story in today's New Mexican on what Sen. Ted Kennedy and his family mean to many Northern New Mexico Democrats. CLICK HERE.

Now that Metal gear Solid HD Collection has finally reached Europe it's time to start getting excited about the upcoming Vita version, with series mastermind Hideo Kojima recently tweeting a photo of the game up and running on Sony's new portable.
The photo only shows a pair of logos so isn't much to get excited about, but the accompanying text reveals some voice parts will have to be re-recorded, though Kojima doesn't specify why.
Here's hoping we get some portable MGS action on Vita before the year's out.

Activision CEO Bobby Kotick says he had "no choice" but to fire Infinity Ward co-founders Jason West and Vince Zampella, adding that their betrayal of his friendship was just as disappointing as their alleged professional misconduct.
Whether or not Kotick expected a firestorm of this intensity and durability when he removed Infinity Ward bosses West and Zampella back in early March will probably never be known, but two months after the fact he's still dealing with the aftermath. He touched on the topic in a conference call with investors yesterday and while he didn't reveal what exactly the pair did to get booted, he insisted that he had no choice but to act.
"The decision to terminate the two executives was not done lightly, and was not done to deprive them of their bonuses," Kotick said. "Nor was it done without a great deal of deliberation about the consequences. We felt we had no choice but to terminate the Infinity Ward executives. We did this to protect the company's assets and the interest of our shareholders."
Kotick also claimed to be distressed by their behavior on a personal level. "I personally considered [West and Zampella] friends," he added. "Their conduct was a compromise of our friendship, which was equally disappointing."
Infinity Ward remains "the top destination for development talent in the video game industry," Kotick said, although he acknowledged "it is likely that a few more people will leave as well." And although it was difficult, he insisted that terminating West and Zampella was the right decision to make. "There was nothing that would have allowed us to retain their services, as talented as they might have been," he said.

We love PopChips (they're low-calorie potato chips, people!) but Ashton Kutcher's latest video promoting the brand that he is an investor in? Not so much.
The video promotion, which strangely does not feature PopChips' logo or product anywhere in it, stars Ashton as an assortment of characters looking for love in a parody of a video dating service. One of those characters is a Bollywood producer for whom Ashton donned a brown face, bushy moustache, and an over-the-top Indian accent. Related: Are Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis Friends With Benefits?
According to Celebitchy.com, after people called out the character as being racist, PopChips has pulled the video off their website. Several celebrities have chimed in on the controversy as well:
"The problem with Ashton Kutcher's ad is that his impressions were so lame and weak and that's why it's offensive!," wrote Sharon Osbourne on her Twitter account.
"In light of the Ashton Kutcher PopChips scandal, I feel obliged to confess that in my AmEx spots I am also wearing brown face," Tweeted Indian-American actor Aziz Ansari.

Rich in both history and flavor, Morocco cuisine is one of the most exotic in the world. The sophisticated Moroccan palate arose as the country played host to travelers and rulers from such disparate lands as China, India, Spain and Persia and then, finally, from serving for 40 years as a French protectorate. In particular, the French influence remains. French is the second language of Morocco, and an air of French sophistication infuses the Saharan oasis with a European flavor. The Rhode School of Cuisine in Marrakech captures this richness in its Moroccan cooking holidays.
It is in this oasis and in our customized kitchen that you will join other cooking enthusiasts for a unique culinary vacation. Our local staff will pamper you and escort you to the market, lead you on a trek in the nearby Atlas or take you camel riding. During the hands-on cooking lessons our expert chefs will introduce you to the exotic combination of ingredients and techniques that exemplify traditional Moroccan cuisine. You will learn first-hand how the fascinating history of this country has influenced its cuisine, and we will also introduce you to some of our own fusion recipes.
Traditional Moroccan Recipes
Even the most jaded palates will respond to the delicious and astonishing blend of flavors that you will learn to create in your own kitchen with some great Moroccan recipes. The Tajine serves as the framework for a college of ingredients, spices and styles. Imagine making Tajine de viande, Tajine des poissons, poulet aux olives et citron couscous, M'Choui (lamb), B'Stilla (the legendary centerpiece of every banquet), Harira (traditional lentil soup), salade Marocaine, cornes de gazelle (sugar-coated pastries with a delicate almond paste filling) and M'Henca (almond filled pastry), or briaouts au miel covered in honey. Simple and easy to prepare organic salads and vegetables take on an immediate exotic flavor within the context of Moroccan recipes.
Your Wine
The Rhode School of Cuisine diligently pairs the meals you create with appropriate libations, including some Spanish varieties and the excellent Moroccan wines. Our greatest discovery of local wine is CB Initials, which uses traditional French techniques of wine production. The delicious and delicately rose-colored Boulaouane de Gris is the perfect accompaniment for many of the dishes.

Good morning dear readers! I am so excited to finally be able to say I saw Catching Fire! I loved it, just as I loved the book and I found myself reconsidering my dissatisfaction with Mockingjay. I think the movies have made Katniss a more sympathetic and likeable character than she was in the books. I might have to reread the last book. I may even change my mind about it. Hm. Saturday I proctored a practice ACT test at the library, giving me over three hours of reading time. For the record, this is a luxury and novelty because, contrary to popular belief, librarians do not actually get to sit around and get paid to read all day! And in an attempt to avoid putting away Christmas stuff (I really did try, but only got as far as restoring my Norfolk pine to its original houseplant status), I spent Sunday leisurely wandering around town and eventually ending up at the coffee shop. Shocking, I know. My point in all of this is that I had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend and got a ton of reading done! Just in time for my favorite Monday morning check-in:
Be sure to stop by Book Journey and Teach Mentor Texts for more great lists.
- The Shadow Hero by Gene Luen Yang is a graphic novel that will be out later this year and tells the story of the first Chinese superhero. I really enjoyed this one and will hopefully have a full review at some point.
- Small Town Sinners by Melissa Walker was my Random Reads pick for January. I will have a review up this week. It was not my favorite.
- Fables vol. 19: Snow White by Bill Willingham broke my heart a little bit. Also, the Oz bits totally got me in the mood for all the Oz retellings coming out soon.
- The Eye of the Minds by James Dashner was recommended by a teen reader. I will have a review ready soon, but I will say that I couldn't help thinking about what Michael Grant would have done with this idea (and kind of wishing he had been the one to write it).
- Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer by Katie Alender has been sitting on my shelf for ages and it was just time to read it or return it. I read it and enjoyed it. It did not get great reviews on Goodreads. I get it, it's flawed. But it was still a quick, fun read with plenty of mean-girl attitude, a cute French boy romance, Paris, and a vengeful ghost lopping off heads!
Current Audio:
I am still working on The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer. This one is really growing on me. I am also about half way through Sabriel by Garth Nix. This one is *not* growing on me like I thought it would. We'll see what the second half has to offer.
Current Reads:
It seems weird to only have two books going…maybe I should start something else!
Happy Reading!

No classic box available at the moment.
A faster and sleeker Jill of the Jungle!
In Vinyl Goddess from Mars all you have to do is get from point a to point b, while on the way being assaulted by enemies, by keys (!) and by other collectibles. Yep, if you've played Jill of the Jungle before you will feel right at home. The game not only plays like that oldie sidescroller platformer but it also looks similar, while the poses of the female character when jumping, sitting or just walking about are similar. The levels are also similar, tile bit less pixilated than with the Jill games. But they also have a bit more depth in that they are more evocative, as they are helped by background images that create a very faux 16 bit feel for the game. Also, the game has that shareware feel about it, I'd think deliberately so, rather than being a side effect of fast production times. So, all things considered, if you loved Xargon or Jill, this game will fit right in there, a little less pixilated but still holding tight to that early 90s shareware platformer vibe. I only wished the game wasn't as hard, at least later on, but that might just be me losing my edge, so don't let that keep you from downloading it.
A cute girl and a godess.. Can this be true?
This time we have a cute girl as the heroine goddess in this cool and fun platform game that is ful of action packed fun. You are Vinyl, a goddess from Mars, on your way to some very (un)important matters, but your ship breaks down and you are stuck on a hostile planet and the only way home is through hard terrains and long levels. Our goddess can jump, shoot, run, duck and is very agile. The scrolling is extremely smooth and the animation fantastic (much like in the epic side scroller Jazz Jackrabbit). Vynil herself is very hot, even on a small scale. Clad in red leather in combination with her fiery red hair, she will rouse your imagination while you're finding your way home to your familiar home. The game is very fun and addictive and certainly a lot of fun. While the game brings nothing special or new to the world of platform gaming, it's still a nice way to spend an afternoon. All hail the goddess of Mars!

- Heating Element Assembly
Product Rating
CustomerJerry from FL
Dryer was taking a long time to dry and then stopped heating all together.
1/4" Nut driver, Needle nose pliers
Repair & Advice
This was really easy to replace, we unplugged the dryer, removed the front bottom panel, removed the heat shield blocking the front of the element, unplugged the two wires going to the element (pliers helped to get these off), removed the one mounting screw on the left, and then the old element just pulled out of the canister firmly. Pushed the new element back in, and reinstalled in the reverse order. We also found that the blower housing that the lint filter slides into was FULL of lint. We cleaned this out at the same time. The dryer is now working much better and drying much faster!

The Crisis in Syria
Aired March 16, 2012 - 04:00:00 ET
CARL AZUZ, HOST, CNN STUDENT NEWS: It is Friday. That is always awesome. I`m Carl Azuz. This is CNN Student News. We`re ready to take flight with 10 minutes of commercial-free headlines starting in three, two, one -- (MUSIC PLAYING) AZUZ: One full year -- that is how long the crisis in Syria has been going on. Opposition groups blame the violence on Syria`s government. Syrian officials say armed terrorists are responsible for the fighting. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) AZUZ (voice-over): What we know is that all of this started with protests, like the ones you see in these YouTube videos. The Syrians were speaking out against their government, calling for the change. The conflict has had a significant impact on how Syria is viewed by some other countries. (END VIDEO CLIP) AZUZ: And that has had an impact on Syria`s economy. John Defterios looks at the shift that some investors have made over the past 12 months. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) JOHN DEFTERIOS, CNN REPORTER (voice-over): A little over a year ago, investing in Syria seemed like a good idea. The country had avoided the worst of the global economic crisis. The private sector was opening up. A virtually untapped domestic consumer market offered real opportunities and foreign direct investment was on the rise. But a year on, and street protests against the rule of Bashar al-Assad have led to a bloody military crackdown with thousands losing their lives. International sanctions have left the Syrian economy in tatters. Trade and investment flows are all but frozen, especially from within the region. Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have been two of the largest investors in Syria. Before the turmoil, both countries viewed Syria as a hot market for property and construction. But now those countries appear to be limiting or, in some cases, completely stopping their projects. The state-owned Qatari Diar Real Estate Company has halted work on the $350 million resort in the poor city of Latakia. Drake and Scull, a firm based in the UAE, recently stopped its $28 million project in the Syrian city of Homs, where troops were deployed to stamp out protests. The cash surplus countries of the Gulf used to see Syria as an investment safe haven away from the economic struggles of the West. But that notion has fundamentally changed and the future of all investments in Syria have been thrown into grave uncertainty. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Today`s first Shoutout goes out to Mr. Platner`s social studies class at the Morse School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Johannes Gutenberg is famous for doing what? Is it creating binary code, inventing the radio, discovering a polio vaccine or inventing the printing press? You`ve got three seconds, go. Gutenberg is credited with inventing the printing press back in the 1400s. That`s your answer, and that`s your Shoutout. (END VIDEO CLIP) AZUZ: Britannica has printed sets of its famous encyclopedias for 244 years, but there won`t be a 245th. The company says the 32-volume set from 2010 will be its last one in book form. The reason: at least part of it is you. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) AZUZ (voice-over): When you have to do research for a paper or a report, chances are you`re not running to grab a book off the shelf. You`re doing what we do. We go online, and that`s where Britannica says it`ll focus now, its digital encyclopedia. It`s been publishing an online version since 1994. The company`s president says a lot of people might call the decision to stop printing encyclopedias the end of an era. But he says it`s no big deal for Britannica. Printed encyclopedias were less than 1 percent of Britannica`s total sales. (END VIDEO CLIP) AZUZ: We`ve reported on schools that are trying the same sort of thing as Britannica, replacing textbooks with e-readers. But our next story is about a school in Silicon Valley, a region that`s home to major technology companies. But this school is heading in the opposite direction, not just low-tech, no-tech. Dan Simon explains what this is all about. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) DAN SIMON, CNN REPORTER (voice-over): The Waldorf School of the Peninsula, a school with old-fashioned chalkboards and a curriculum centered around physical activity and hands-on tasks. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: All the way over. SIMON (voice-over): Third graders using balls to help coordinate both sides of the brain, high school students drawing on a chalkboard as a way of interpreting a book. This school has zero technology, nada, no computers, no Internet. Matthew`s daughter used to attend a school where every child had a laptop. SABRINE MENGERINK, STUDENT: I think I prefer it much better without them, because it`s a distraction. I didn`t really feel connected to the other students as much as I do in Waldorf. SIMON (voice-over): At a time where some schools are now embedding social media into their teaching, like this school in Los Angeles -- UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Remember, Damian, make sure you have a # in front of the wwi. SIMON (voice-over): -- the Waldorf School looks like something from another era. Yet 75 percent of the school`s families have at least one parent working in high-tech. SIMON: Why do you feel people who work in high technology choose to send their children to a school that preaches no technology? LUCY WURTZ, WALDORF SCHOOL OF THE PENINSULA: Well, it`s amazing, when parents go on tour and they come on our campus, a lot of people feel like it`s just a really natural way to raise children. SIMON (voice-over): Lucy Wurtz is the school`s development director and helped establish a Waldorf High School in 2007. Her husband is a prominent Silicon Valley executive. WURTZ: Sometimes people feel like life is going way too fast, and they want their children to have a more natural, slow-paced developmental childhood. So I think that`s what we provide at the Waldorf School. SIMON (voice-over): One hundred sixty Waldorf Schools are spread across the country. Students don`t take standardized tests, so its success in comparison to other schools is difficult to measure, but its leaders boast that 94 percent of its graduates go on to college. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Time for a Shoutout Extra Credit. Which of these countries is observing a national holiday on Saturday? You know what to do. Is it Ecuador, Ireland, Morocco or Georgia? Another three seconds on that clock and go. Saturday is St. Patrick`s Day and the national holiday of Ireland. That`s your answer and that`s your Shoutout. (END VIDEO CLIP) AZUZ: As you well know, the celebration isn`t limited to Ireland. St. Patrick`s Day festivities happen all over the place. They`ve been going on in the United States for 275 years. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) AZUZ (voice-over): The first St. Patrick`s Day celebration in the U.S. happened in Boston back in 1737. New York held its first St. Patrick`s Day parade 250 years ago. And these days that one is the largest St. Patrick`s Day parade in the world. More than 150,000 people march in it every year. According to the U.S. Census information from 2010, more than 34 million Americans say they have Irish ancestors. That`s more than seven times the population of Ireland. (END VIDEO CLIP) AZUZ: Well, the economy is something constantly in the news. You hear the president and members of Congress talk about it, experts and analysts look at different economic indicators. But you don`t always get opinions from everyday people, and that`s exactly who you`re going to hear from in CNN.com`s new "Across the Board" segment. Watch this. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) (MUSIC PLAYING) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Stop greed. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: My son-in-law`s been underemployed for the past two years. This really put a hardship on my daughter and my grandchildren. I really want to see something good happen to them this year. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: People are forgetting about the middle class in the U.S. We`re so focused on the poor and the rich that we forget about actual (inaudible). UNIDENTIFIED MALE: In general, a lot of people nowadays are spending way above and beyond their means. Basically try to, you know, live a little more frugally. (END VIDEO CLIP) AZUZ: All right. Before we go, get ready for some mechanized mayhem. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) AZUZ (voice-over): It is Europe`s biggest robot competition. You know, they`re supposed to be fighting here, right? OK. One of them just falls over backwards. And this year offered a new category: flying robots. All in all, nearly 300 self-built bots faced off in different competitions. Might want to test that guy. Looks like he`s on the juice. And this mechanical monster is hoping to get a leg up on the competition. That`s the kind of event that`ll really test your "metal." We`re not too worried about the nuts and bolts of the competition. We just hope everyone was geared up to have a good time. That`s all the time we`re going to "steel" from you, though. Quick shoutout to the Thunderbirds at Harmony Middle School, who got our social media question right for the second time. So for the rest of you, for next week, the challenge is on. Have a great weekend. We`ll look forward to seeing y`all on Monday. Bye-bye. (MUSIC PLAYING) END

You should know that the most important aspect of optimizing websites for search engines is to get links, but how do you get those links? It is important that you have great content so you can recieve natural links, but that is often not enough.
If you want to rank for competitive keywords you need natrual and artificial links, that is links that you create. Without these links, it is impossible to rank high for competitive keywords, or even to get indexed in search engines.
Webmasters figure out early on that link building is a pain in the bum, and very time consuming. In fact, many webmasters build links in the wrong way which can potentially harm their rankings!
Paying for links seems like a great option. Getting quality links is often very cheap, and involves little work. However, this practice is not as good as it seems.
First off and most importantly, paying for links is illegal. When you purchase a link on a blogroll, the feds will not show up on your house with gas masks, but you do run the risk of getting penalized by Google. If you do get penalized, it is nearly impossible to reverse it. So for paying for links, you could get permanately banned forom Google.
Note that Google only penalizes you if you purchase Dofollow links, that is links that pass on link juice which help with search engine rankings. If you purchase links with the Nofollow attribute, this is completely legal, but will not help your search engine rankings at all.
Also note that Google states that it only bans the websites that sell the links, not the websites that are linked to. However, I have heard of many people who have gotten penalized for purchasing links or building links to quickly. To be on the safe side, I recommend avoiding both practices. After all, you definitely don't want to get banned from Google!
Building links consistantly is the way to go. Not only will you avoid the worst case scenorio of getting banned from search engines, you will also save a lot of money. There are a huge amount of ways to build links yourself, so there is really no reason to pay for links unless you need the time.
If you can's spare the time, go out and hire a SEO expert who will build links legally for you. This may be less expensive then paying for links, but the results are much better, and you don't run the risk of getting banned.
The answer I and most other webmasters agree on is to stay clear of buying links, and to build your own. If you don't have the time, hire a professional to build links legally. This is the process that will get you the search engine rankings you desire.

Leadership is such a vague concept. When we hear the word we think of charismatic individuals, great generals, engaging politicians, or renowned business people. We generally think of people situated at the top of an organization who attract attention to their accomplishments. And, as of late, the topic of leadership is often discussed in the context of succession and looming leadership gaps.
In my view, we need to change the way we think of leadership. Leadership is so much more than a position in an organization. Leaders exist throughout any and every organization. And they demonstrate leadership every minute of every day.
Many people consider themselves leaders because circumstances have put them atop whatever they do. Their position may make them managers of people and projects but it does not make them leaders, in the true sense.
Leaders are folks who see opportunity and try to seize it. Leaders exercise good judgment and take wise risks. Leaders create a culture that allows others to flourish. Leaders convey a sense of commitment that compels others to follow. Ultimately, leaders are created by their ability to build a following.
In the next decade, millions of Canadian Baby Boomers will retire. Many leaders and HR professionals look to the future with trepidation. Who will become the leaders of tomorrow? Are they prepared for the task ahead? However, when you frame leadership as a set of behaviors as opposed to a position or a specific act you begin to see leaders and potential leaders all around you. If you look through the lens of 'leaders are all around you', then the concept of building leadership capacity becomes far more tangible.
Fundamentally, building leadership capacity is about development and providing opportunities. Through the creation of development plans coupled with providing opportunities for growth, emerging leaders will have the necessary feedstock they need to become great.
Instead of attempting to harness the people in your organization while trying to make them conform to the norm, allow their creativity to flow. Let them pursue initiatives and actions that are different – utilize their natural abilities. Give them a specific set of goals but allow breadth in how to get there. Provide the platform for achievement and you will be surprised at what your team can accomplish.
If you create opportunities for folks to shine, building leadership capacity tends to look after itself – at least to a certain extent. Much of what needs to be done to enhance leadership capacity starts with the existing leaders on the ground. If you have a strong set of values guiding your organization you create a touchstone for appropriate behaviour. Reinforce values based behaviour, give potential leaders opportunities to do good work, offer encouragement to showcase their ability and you will see the natural leaders emerge. If you couple this with the appropriate training and development programming you will see the leadership capacity of your organization grow exponentially. Pair these foundational elements with tailored development plans and you will witness some amazing outcomes.
To my way of thinking, building leadership capacity is less about the latest in HR trends and more about giving folks the chance to succeed (and fail). It is more about creating the right environment and allowing people to step up. It is more about rewarding the appropriate behaviours and utilizing the natural born differences people have.
The path each organization takes to create an environment that supports this mentality will be different – a product of their size, industry, and pre-existing cultures. In my over 35 years in the recruitment and consulting business, I have witnessed many different routes towards this destination. However, experience suggests that these conditions are prerequisite to fostering great leaders.
Keep your definition of leadership broad and you will see that leadership traits reside in everyone. By deliberately and thoughtfully nurturing these traits you will see the capacity of your organization grow. For many of us, the leader of tomorrow is just across the hall. He or she just does not know it yet.

Jon Voight is an outspoken Trump backer, and he made it clear that his support for the president was as fervent as ever in a recent interview.
The actor appeared on Fox News's Life, Liberty & Levin on Sunday to discuss everything from politics to his pal, the late Burt Reynolds. Surprisingly, however, it wasn't his ode to the actor that got him emotional.
The vocal Trump supporter was describing an interaction he had with a fellow conservative when he got teary-eyed. He had met a conservative woman who also happened to be an actress, and Voight asked her, "So what do you think about our man?" She responded by placing her hand on her heart, and Voight couldn't contain himself as he demonstrated her patriotic pose. He started crying and then clarified, "That's me crying."
Why the tears? "The gesture was so beautiful, she couldn't even speak. She was just saying 'Thank God,' and I say, 'Thank God.'" The actor became emotional at another point in the interview when talking about religion. "I think righteousness brings emotion out of me," he explained.
The 79-year-old endorsed Trump during the 2016 election and frequently defended him, even if it meant feuding with fellow actors.
Voight's vulnerabilities were also on display when he used the show to publicly say farewell to his friend, Burt Reynolds, with whom he starred in Deliverance, but did so with more composure than he had when he spoke about the president.

Luxury giant LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy), helmed by Bernard Arnault, has been on something of a buying frenzy of late -- bulking up its share in Hermes, much to the owners' dismay, and buying Bulgari outright last week -- and now come reports that the brand may make a bid for the upscale shoe brand, Jimmy Choo.
The Sunday Times made the initial report, which Bloomberg picked up, noting that the UK publication had not named the source of the news. The report indicates that Choo could be sold for as much as 500 million pounds, or roughly $800 million.
On the other hand, The Financial Times recently reported that information on the sale was recently circulated to as many as 10 potential buyers, and that private equity group TowerBrook Capital might actually be a likely bidder.

'This volume is a major achievement. It advances our knowledge of stability and change in water policy around the world through sixteen national case studies from around the world. Its focus on "transitions" - instances of really major shifts in policy - is particularly welcome at a time when challenges such as climate change force water policy makers to reconsider the very foundations of their regulatory frameworks and infrastructural policies. The volume goes beyond water policy, however. It makes a major contribution to the study of policy dynamics in general by offering an empirically-grounded comparative analysis of policy entrepreneurs as change agents in policy networks. There has been much loose talk about policy entrepreneurs in the fields of public administration and public policy, but a dearth of empirical work underpinning the various claims made. This volume goes a long way towards filling that gap. Highly recommended - for water experts and policy scientists alike.'

I am Abdullah and I am from Saudi Arabia. I am a grad student in the Writing Studies Program. The Writing Studies Program interested me once Professor Tenaya Darlington, the Writing Studies Program's Director, asked me to attend a class in the spring of 2014. I started my masters in the fall of 2014. It is an American-based program that I find challenging. As someone who is interested in gaining as much experience as possible, I find this program excellent for honing my English skills. "You will be the program's star," as Professor Tenaya once said.
My dream goal is to be an English instructor in one of the universities in Saudi. I chose this program because I want to perfect my use of the English language. I want to diminish my accent and learn how to use the English language correctly in class. This program definitely has helped me in terms of fluency. I am surrounded by bright, sharp, and opinionated American students, which can make me feel intimidated whenever I attend a class, but it also brings out the best in me.
It is definitely a competitive market out there; therefore, I need to be a step ahead of the other applicants trying to get a teaching position in Saudi. Being an ESL student in an American-based master's program helps me continue to improve my use of English. I feel confident about the level I have reached. All credit goes to the competitive feelings I have when I attend class.
I invite ESL students who seek teaching jobs in their countries to seize the opportunity and apply to the Writing Studies Program. Not only will they know how to write professionally, but they will also learn how to speak English fluently and live an amazing experience with a very helpful, well-rounded staff.

Ted Hughes, whom I was lucky to count as a friend, is always superbly at one with the animal world. An analogy with humans is suggested but not stated as the poet is simply not interested in "the effects that power can have on a human being"(Shereef) .
Hughes observes brilliant – and as always in his animal poems, refrains from passing judgement.
The hawk views the high trees, the air and the sun as existing entirely for its own convenience, which I guess parallels how many of us view nature. The bird sees itself as perfection, the highest achievement of creation, and the last line, 'I am going to keep it like this, ' shows the genius of the poet in making explicit an attitude that is only implied(Report)Reply
Shereef Elkhafif (10/11/2007 1:20:00 PM)
The hawk is used as a simple analogy to humans in power. In response to Desiree Iten, I don't think Hughes is comparing the Hawk to humans overtaken by 'sophistry' and 'manners' as you say.
The Hawk itself is powerful and in command of the earth below him: 'The convenience of the high trees! ' He is overjoyed by his power, and asserts his power by saying things such as: 'My manners are tearing off heads - The allotment of death.'
The hawk is conceited, 'Now I hold Creation in my foot, ' and certain of himself, 'my eyes closed.'
The hawk is at the top of the hierarchical chain that defines nature and how it runs, and seems unmoved by the fact that he does not need to defend his place on this chain: 'No arguments assert my right: The sun is behind me.' Furthermore, this word sun gives an image of light and righteousness shining upon the hawk, creating a shadow of justice covering all creatures below it. It may also relate back to the idea of nature and how it's rules and laws, no matter how ridiculous they may be, still support his position.
Desiree Iten, Hughes is not criticizing humans in general, which you seem to think he insists on doing. He is simply criticing the effects power can have on a living being, and demonstrating how it can change one's perspective on life, causing him to become almost dellusional because of this.(Report)Reply
Desiree Iten (9/20/2007 4:45:00 AM)
i think it's about challenging our perspective. people think they are the most superior beings on this planet, that the world was created by God for us, that we are the ones in charge here and look down on all the rest, but the hawk looks down on us here. the wolrd is his for the picking. we pride ourselves on our 'sophistry' and 'manners' but the hawk just tears off heads - the seat of our intellect. we build airplanes and fly with the 'sun...behind' us in war and we think we're so smart, but actually all we're doing is trying to mimic the hawk, and we just end up using this technology to destroy ourselves anyway. we humans keep glorifying progress progress progress. the hawk has not 'permitted any change' to happen to his world or himself, and look where he is: still waaaaay above us. so what's the big deal with progress then anyway?
i think this poem is about getting people to stop and consider, 'what makes you think you're the one running the show? '(Report)Reply
Ruth Campbell (8/19/2007 4:54:00 AM)
I am wondering if the hawk could symbolize Satan, perched, watching, high above the ground, swooping down at will to seize his prey, people's souls. Asking permission of no one, he asserts this right to pull heads off, to enter people's bones. He rules from his perch, where he has always been. He does not want any of this to change (for God to cause him to die and rob him of his power) . He is the self-appointed king of all he surveys, and he is the angel of death.(Report)Reply

Call to Industry Stakeholders – to GET INVOLVED!!!!
The Australian Government has implemented a process for training package reform for all industry sectors. This reform process is carried out at the direction of the COAG Industry & Skills Council and the Australian Industry & Skills Committee (AISC). Artibus Innovation a Skill Services Organisation has been engaged by the AISC to manage the reform process for industries within the Property Services sector which includes Pest Management. Artibus Innovation has established an Industry Reference Committee (IRC) to review and develop training packages in line with the Australian Governments reform process. They have as part of their 2018/2019 work schedule the requirement to review and reform the Urban Pest Management Training Package.
The Urban Pest Management Redevelopment Project will examine the content, structure, training delivery and student outcomes of the CPP30115 Certificate III in Urban Pest Management. In particular the project will look at the:
As training package reform needs to be industry driven, Artibus are seeking consultation and engagement with all industry stakeholders to obtain feedback on this project. This timing of this project is almost perfect as there has been a lot of recent noise, especially on social media, around the Pest Management training systems and content of courses, delivery timeframes and licensing requirements within the sector. Artibus Innovation have requested assistance from AEPMA and other stakeholders to get the project message out to their members.
The first step in the project is to establish an industry Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to assist the IRC with input to the new training package. All industry stakeholders are invited to NOMINATE for the TAG positions, the nomination forms and TAG Terms of Reference can be found on the Project webpage. The nomination period closes 16th November 2018.
The TAG will be chaired by Property Services IRC and industry member Mr John Murray, National Pest Technical Manager for Flick Anticimex, who is assisting Artibus Innovation with the consultation process. Other consultation opportunities will include surveys (see link below), forums/workshops, webinars, email and website updates, networks/roadshows and direct engagement. Keep an eye out for these opportunities and project updates.

This past year, I traversed the country to absorb and evangelize the current state of ediscovery and the rapidly evolving world of legal technology. From Legaltech to ILTA and RelativityFest to Georgetown AEDI, many lessons were learned - not only on where we are, but also where we've been. Common themes emerged that can help propel us forward and fully embrace a bold new world of ediscovery in 2019. Are you ready?
Legal technology for ediscovery is no longer niche, but not due to the efforts of ediscovery vendors.
In case you missed it, Relativity Fest 2018 is over and in the books, bringing together over 2,000 ediscovery fans in downtown Chicago from across the global community, eager to explore the intersection of law and technology. This year's four-day conference featured an impressive 300 speakers, 200 sessions, and an undeniable feeling of possibility.
The Beauty and the Beast of Corporate Data – Learn to Tame the Beast with Outcomes from the 2018 CCF
The 2018 Corporate Counsel Forum, held over a sunny two days in September, proved interesting and thought provoking. It was also reassuring to learn that what I set out in my first article (pre-2018 Corporate Counsel Forum), was true. Corporate data can be a beast to deal with because of complexities of legacy data systems, the need to stay current with the data privacy agenda, and the slow, difficult nature of inaccessible data when in house legal teams need to respond to regulatory and legal requests. The beast is still very much alive!
Last month, I had the pleasure of attending the largest ever ILTACON, the annual meeting of the International Legal Technology Association. While many noteworthy topics were discussed as the creative juices flowed among the best and brightest of the legal IT world, below are the top five buzzworthy themes that stood out after attending (and tweeting about) dozens of sessions.
