"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change"
Charles Darwin
With the increasing volume of information and advances in all fields, we are driven to continuous learning to keep up-to-date. Our understanding of things and our capacity for solving issues is now far more important than just acquiring knowledge.
The latest generations were educated in a model based on memorizing data rather than practicing in the real world. Today, it is essential to learn to be flexible and permeable, to have the possibility to adopt different perspectives and to be able to change the course of things.
We are all born with a strong desire to learn, but some people lose the passion for learning and avoid situations where they may be forced to learn something new: they prefer to create a safe and secure world for themselves. In order to move forward we need to be in a constant state of adaptation, continually unlearning old rules and relearning new ones. That requires continually questioning assumptions about how things work, challenging old paradigms, and 'relearning' what is now relevant in our job, in the industry, for our career and even for our life.
The major changes we will be forced to make in life will involve unlearning old habits and views that no longer serve us. It is therefore essential to "unlearn" in order to be able to acquire new knowledge and skills. This does not mean to regress, but to be able to move forward leaving behind useless burden, eliminating beliefs, prejudices and ideas that are no longer useful to us.
The world of work is moving and changing fast. However, it is not just about keeping up with the rate of change and the nature of the work we do, but how we do it and where. Our ability to adapt to change and to proactively make changes in our career is what will make a crucial difference in the future.

Many studies have found how team building activities and events can promote a better working environment with more effective employees. By encouraging cooperative projects, companies may begin to see many benefits. Teamwork in the workplace fosters creativity, encourages dynamic communication, and blends multiple skill sets together to approach common problems.
Leland Management understands the importance of team building activities. In addition to team bowling outings and holiday potlucks, Leland hosts an annual corporate training event. This event brings employees from different departments and divisions together for three days to learn new information and work together to solve various challenges. The Leland family gets the opportunity to work with people they may not get to work with on a regular basis. In many cases, this strengthens the working relationships between team members long after the event is over. Team members return from this event feeling refreshed and positive about their working environment which carries through when they are completing their daily tasks.
In the past, many companies encouraged a competitive, non-cooperative environment. By shying away from this model, employers can see tremendous increases in employee happiness, communication, creativity, and productivity. Leland Management knows that it takes a team to get a job done and by promoting a unified workplace Leland ensures that the team has the tools they need to shine.

Identity Theft
NCUA offers extensive information to help consumers identify frauds and scams at its Fraud Prevention Center (new window/tab).
When traveling out of the country, be sure to check your account for suspicious activity. Recently there have been reports of scammers using bluetooth ATM skimming, where the device is installed internally, making it undetectable from the exterior.
ATM Skimming
Criminal Groups are using ATM Skimmers to withdrawal money from member's accounts. The skimmer allows them to read the debit card and PIN for accounts. These devices snap into place without adhesives or magnets and are of superb quality.
These groups NEVER leave their devices unattended. They arrive on foot and then monitor from nearby vehicles parked in an adjacent parking lot. If a device is discovered do not leave the device or attract attention. Contact law enforcement as discreetly as possible. The suspects will remove the devices as soon as you leave them unattended.

Phishers Use Fake Caller ID Numbers
In a new phishing scam, con artists are using phony caller ID numbers to solicit personal information and money. The "spoofers" are able to convince victims that they're receiving a call from a bank, credit union or credit card company. The scammers use this technique to acquire sensitive personal and financial information, or even money, from their victims.
Protect yourself by following these steps:
- Do not assume that the information displayed on your phone, regarding who the caller is, is accurate. It can easily be spoofed.
- Never give out personal or financial information over the telephone unless you know EXACTLY whom you're dealing with.
- If you have doubts about who's on the phone, call back the number of record at your financial institution or credit card company.
Vishing is when a caller uses an automated dialing system. The voice system may use phrases such as, "Please contact us immediately about the closing of your account." The caller will try to trick you in to calling a toll-free number. But that number belongs to a thief, who will collect the financial information you will be asked to enter on your phone's keypad, like your 16-digit card number.
Take measures to protect your sensitive information:
- Never give personal or financial account information over the telephone if you did not initiate the contact—even if the caller has some of your personal information. Simply hang up.
- Be suspicious of any e-mail that's short or harsh in tone or contains grammatical errors. Delete it immediately.
- Be suspicious of any phone or e-mail contact that does not use your first and last name.
- Be cautious when asked to enter information into automated phone prompts.
- Avoid clicking on links from unsolicited e-mails.
- Never dial an unfamiliar return phone number received from an e-mail or phone call regarding any financial matter. Check your financial institution's phone number listed on your account statement or back of your credit card.
- Report suspected fraudulent calls or e-mails to the Federal Trade Commission at www.consumer.gov/idtheft. Forward phishing e-mails to the Anti-Phishing Working Group at email@example.com.

Account Warning
Protecting your account is a top priority for IBEW 26 Federal Credit Union.
We advise members to be diligent and monitor their accounts, as this is the first line of defense in identifying fraud
On December 31, 2019, Landry's Inc., which owns and operates locations including Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Morton's Steakhouse, Landry's Seafood, and the Golden Nugget, began notifying customers about a security incident that occurred in rare circumstances when waitstaff mistakenly swiped cards on devices used to enter kitchen and bar orders, rather than on point-of-sale terminals used for payment processing.
While no official exposure window has been confirmed, the company indicates that the general timeframe is March 13, 2019 to October 17, 2019, and that access may have occurred as early as January 18, 2019 at a small number of locations.
The malware appears to have targeted customers' track data found on the magnetic stripe of payment cards and can include cardholder name, card number, expiration date, and internal verification code.
Landry's states that the malware has been removed and that law enforcement and a private security firm are assisting in the investigation.
Landry's announcement regarding this incident can be found at: www.landrysinc.com/
Equifax – There was a massive data breach at Equifax, a credit monitoring service. According to Equifax, most of the consumer information accessed includes names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and in some instances, driver's license numbers. In addition, credit card numbers for approximately 209,000 consumers and certain dispute documents, which included personal identifying information, for approximately 182,000 consumers were accessed.
We advise members to be diligent and monitor their accounts, as this is the first line of defense in identifying fraud.

Rules and Regulations
All organizations and associations, being a collection of individuals, must be guided by a set of principles and regulations to insure their survival. These regulations express a collective sense of vision for the association, a vision generally set forth by a governing board of directors, guided with by-laws set forth by the founders of the organization. Most cemeteries fall into this organizational picture. Their principle responsibility lies in ensuring the financial stability of the association and seeing to it that the cemetery looks its best in order to attract future generations to bring their loved ones to rest in its grounds. A cemetery, without such goals and the regulations to insure this soon becomes a hodgepodge of individual expression or in other words a visual collection of everyone's backyard. This quickly becomes for the most part attractive to no one and the cemetery begins to falter both visually and financially. It is for this reason that the following regulations have been put in place to insure the future. The following regulations have been put in place to to see to it that the cemetery not only survives but blossoms in its future. These regulations will not simply be in writing only but will be enforced. The future depends on it.
A. MATERIAL. All monuments, markers, and cornerstones shall beconstructed of granite or quartzite. Plaques attached to a monument or marker must be constructed of bronze.
B. PLACEMENT OF MONUMENTS. Monuments shall be placed at the head of a grave and mounted on a base and foundation as specified by the cemetery. The cemetery is responsible for the construction of the foundation.
C. PLACEMENT OF MARKERS. Flat, single or double markers shall be placed at the foot of the grave. So called slanting markers shall be classified as monuments and shall be placed at the head of a grave on a base. Slanting markers without a base are not permitted except in case of matching markers already in place on a lot. If a cremains burial is added to an existing burial, or with two cremains in one grave space, one monument and one marker or two markers will be permitted on a single grave space.
D. PLACEMENT OF CORNERSTONES. A cornerstone shall be flush with the ground.
E. MEMORIAL BENCHES. Granite memorial benches may be used if approved by the board of directors. Benches shall be set on a concrete foundation and placed on an owner's unused grave space. If this space is later used for a burial, the bench must either be removed from the cemetery or with the consent of the board, placed on an unplatted area in the cemetery in which case it becomes the property of the cemetery.
The owner of a lot may plant perennial shrubs as approved by the board. Annuals shall be planted in concrete or granite planters. The number and placement of planters must be approved by the Sexton. All planters must be placed on a concrete stepping stone or foundation extension. Planters may be removed by the cemetery staff if not properly filled, painted, or are cracked, broken or generally neglected and determined to be unsightly. The board retains control of all trees, shrubs, plants and flowers and retains the right of removal if such become wilted, die or are unsightly. No member, owner or other individual may remove trees, shrubs, or wood without written consent of the board. Planters that are unplanted during the summer months may be removed and stored by the cemetery. All flower urns must be purchased from the cemetery.
A. ARTIFICIAL AND OTHER DECORATIONS. Artificial and other decorations must be in concrete or granite flower urns. Artificial flowers and all other decorations including wooden crosses, painted stones, statues and any other item placed on the ground will be removed and stored by the cemetery. Shephards hooks are not permitted.
Seasonal artificial flowers and wreaths will be allowed at graves ONLY during the following periods:
a. From October 15th through April 15th.
b. From one week prior to Memorial Day to one week after.
Artificial flowers and wreaths shall be removed at the expiration of time limils. If not, such decorations will be removed by the cemetery staff and held for 30 days. If not then reclaimed, the decorations will be discarded.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) -Pharmacist Chris Henslee is most worried about folks taking CBD oil along with other medications without first consulting a doctor.
Right now, it's legal to sell CBD oil at regular retail stores, but pharmacies are regulated by the Alabama Department of Public Health and they have not taken CBD off their controlled substance list yet. That's because the FDA has not decided exactly how it will regulate CBD oil. Henslee says it's important to know what you're doing before buying any of it.
"The local teen at the convenient store has no idea about the drug interactions that can happen. There's not many with the CBD products but there are some crucial ones with blood thinners, some anti-platelet drugs," says Henslee.
He says it's difficult when he sees his counterparts in other states helping others.
"They have patients coming in and saying hey, I've had depression forever, I'm taking this and now I feel like a brand-new person."
Plus, he believes it would lower the number of people on addictive pain medication.
"There's people on a bunch of medication. They're over medicated. Help them get off of this. Let 'em try it!"
The FDA is expected to hold a hearing near the end of May to discuss how to regulate CBD.

When Steve Jobs called this key Apple manager a 'fuckchop', he put it on his business cards
Andy Grignon, the man behind Apple's iChat AV, iSight and Dashboard products, was more than just a Senior Manager at Apple who helped design the iPhone (he received the first iPhone phone call). He was also affectionately referred to as "fuckchop" by the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.
With the kick-off of Apple's WWDC event just hours away, Grignon signed up to an early beta of Geeklist (a tool where "geeks share their achievements and resources, and connect with companies they love") and posted the following anecdote:
In the early iChatAV days, one of the many things Steve Jobs called me was a "fuckchop". When I got to iPod, I thought it would make a nice title. #gklst
The message was accompanied by an Instagram image of his business card from when he was part of the iPod team at Apple — sure enough, Grignon managed to slip the word onto his cards (and with approval from Apple Printing).
He explains the story on his Facebook page, here.
Grignon spent a lot of his working life at Apple, taking positions as an intern and in the Quicktime, Mac OS, iPod and iPhone teams, before moving to Palm and becoming VP of webOS Applications & Platform, creating the operating system that is now all but dead.
During the initial development of the iPhone, Grignon become the first person to receive a call on the new Apple smartphone (a prototype at the time), but instead of it being an Alexander Graham Bell moment, the former Apple employee didn't recognise the number, so he sent it to voicemail:
Apple is set to announce its latest developments for Mac OS and iOS today, so it's no surprise that these small anecdotes have come to light now.
Steve Jobs will forever be associated with having a explosive personality but the term 'fuckchop' is perhaps a more endearing term for a former Apple colleague.
We will be live at Moscone West for Apple's WWDC keynote at 10am Pacific Time, so stay tuned for updates, fuckchops.

OAKLAND — Ronnie Lott's investment group said Tuesday it is ready to work with the Raiders on a stadium project in Oakland, a day after a major Las Vegas investor withdrew from a deal for a $1.9 billion facility in Nevada and the same day reports emerged that Goldman Sachs would also pull out.
Representatives of a group trying to keep the Raiders in the Bay Area reinforced their willingness to develop in Oakland after billionaire casino owner Sheldon Adelson withdrew from the Las Vegas deal.
"We have the land available at the existing Coliseum site following the actions of the City of Oakland and Alameda County last December," the Lott Group said in a statement. "We have a strong financing partner in Fortress Investment Group. We have an additional $100 million due to the NFL incentive to keep the Raiders in Oakland. Bottom line, if the Raiders want to stay in Oakland, we are more than ready to be a partner in making that happen."
Adelson, chief executive of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation and a major contributor to President Donald Trump, was expected to invest $650 million in a 65,000-seat domed stadium. The Raiders say they can do the deal with the help of investment bank Goldman Sachs although they haven't publicly provided details about how the financing would work. But the investment bank is "re-evaluating its relationship with the planned deal," according to ESPN, citing a source "close to the negotiations."
An investment group including former 49ers and Raiders star Ronnie Lott has proposed to build a $1.25 billion, 55,000-seat stadium at the team's present site. The proposal has received little attention while Raiders owner Mark Davis focused on relocating to Las Vegas.
Jim Zelinski of Save Oakland Sports has started a petition to keep the team in the East Bay.
"We are going to continue to press extremely hard, go to the mat, try to convince the entire NFL ownership that keeping the Raiders in Oakland is in everyone's best interest," he said.
Staff writer David DeBolt contributed to this report.

Hello, today I have my last two Halloween projects to show you. I have really loved working with these stamps as they are really fun and lend themselves to all sorts of Halloween craftiness.
I have used both Put a Spell on You and Hocus Pocus stamp sets for my first card. It is all just basic stamping with Black Onyx Versafine and coloured in with coloured pencils. The background is Dusty Concord and Stormy Sky Distress ink with a touch of Mustard Seed around the edge of the moon. (I just cut a circle die as a mask for the moon)
The spooky lady has been mounted onto mirri card and the bat motif was partially cut out with scissors before I placed a circle die around it and under the cut out wings.
My second card is very easy and just a bit of fun. All the stamps come from Put a Spell on You and have been stamped with Black Onyx Versafine.
Using Cut n Dry foam I sponged some Fired Brick and Vintage Photo Distress ink through a brick wall stencil before stamping and colouring the cobweb and pumpkins. The sentiment was stamped onto white card, dusted with Antique Linen, cut out and mounted onto black card and little dots were added to the corners to try and create faux screws.
Many thanks for looking and please call back soon.

Golf has many health benefits and can be a fun, rewarding sport. Anyone can golf, you just have to get started. Read these tips to do that.
Your body can really help you out in the sport of golf. Your entire body is needed to truly power your shots. Utilize all of your body's muscles to get maximum power as you swing your club. This allows you to increase your distance without placing unnecessary strain on your arms.
One can find possible problems with their golfing stance by using a simple exercise involving wiggling their toes. When preparing to swing the club, the golfer should be able to wiggle his or her toes; if this cannot be done, the golfer may be leaning in too far towards the ball. To attain the correct posture, a golfer must lean back to the point at which there is some "play" in the feet.
Wiggling your toes can tell you much about your posture as you are getting ready to take a golf swing. If you can move your feet very easily, then you have not aligned your body properly enough to take your shot. Try leaning toward the ball so much that you can still move your feet a little, but not a lot.
One good suggestion where golf is concerned is to not let yourself get too serious over the game. You are sure to make mistakes. If you can laugh and take them in stride, it will help you relax and get on with your game.
While putting, use your left hand to guide the ball by making sure it is slightly in front of the ball. Attempt to maintain the position for the duration of your swing. This helps to get a smooth roll of the ball and prevents the ball from popping up as it meets the putter.
Whenever you can team up with strong golfers, do so! This way, you can learn by observation. There is more than one way to benefit from the expertise of a fellow golfer. You do not need to find a pro to get help from a better player. Watch carefully while experienced players take their shots. You may learn new techniques via observation. In addition, you may feel inspired to play your best game when you spend time around strong players.
The fundamentals of golf are not so difficult to learn, and the benefits are substantial, both mentally and physically. Now that you've read this article, get out on the course and apply what you've learned. You should understand the basics well enough to play your first game.

Very comfy looking.
Very comfy looking.
The other problems with putting metho through bread are (1) it takes a LOT of vegemite to hide the taste; and (2) toasting metho-soaked bread is a really really really bad idea. Just drink the stuff neat!
Well... questions have escalated to another level. We have got given whatever paperwork was there from the build and it's pretty amazing. For now the first page, mentioning a lot "Nevis", which from my googleing around shows an american boatbuilder referred to this name.
Is our boat based on a Nevis design then?
Pretty interesting to see how he basically went bigger on everything from the original design.
Someone can read this language better than us, although we're slowly getting better at it... what do you see?

Nevins was a top boatbuilder who had a set of "rules" for scantlings. The Americans on the forum would probably know more.
Aboard WB I cut my 5/16 chain back to 25 m from 75m which is a lot of weight for a small boat.
The little antenna gizmo may well have a magnetic tip a very useful tool.
If she had a different name she may have been used for offshore racing, in which case the lead could have been used to induce bow-down trim to reduce the rating.
A lot of older boats were built with no engine or just a small engine with a small fuel tank, and just one battery. Add a bigger engine, more fuel and an extra battery, and the boat needs weight in the bow to compensate.
There is a stainless stem fitting up for sale on Gumtree in Adelaide at the moment. I don't know how you'd work out whether it will fit your boat but let me know if you want me to have a look, take measurements etc. Could even be worth you making up a physical template somehow and I could offer it up and see if it fits.

I think from all the above theories what Rick says seems to make sense. I believe she was an ocean racer in the past (a radio license from when she was launched states her intentions) and I have found an old plugged shaft-hole (better names for that must exist) higher than the one that its currently being used by the Beta 20 on board.
Things are escalating and slowing down at the same time as the weather allows both to happen. We've got ourselves to be in a cold and damp place and it's hard to get the chill out of the body to have productive days, so we're taking it as it comes.
Since last updates, we have been focusing on stopping the water from coming down below as much as possible. We've spotted more rot (surprise!) on different areas of the deck and we've temporarily overbored, epoxied and redrilled two stanchion bases with wooden backing plates, washers and bolt and nut. We've also stopped the water from coming down through the starboard chainplate, as it had done for some time damaging tools and equipment that was sitting on the boat.
First mate has been focused on the starboard handrail, as it was rotten almost all the way (but at least it did not let water in!) and we've been crashing our heads trying to find a similar one or a solution. The teachings from that came down to actually have to use our first dynel to cover some of the exposed timber since the old handrail took the canvas when we took it off, practising with fillers and seeing what result we get.
This jobs have been teaching us confidence, have been our first epoxy experiences and understanding, and have brought an immediate feedback as there's substantially less water coming in as it was before, but at the same time we're realising the amount of work to be done on top of the standard wooden boat owner style type of thing
Small portholes were also a drip drop party, but on those ones we believe we've done a "proper" job. I'm not sure of the material, silver but not aluminium, some sort of cast bronze or so. They're old and they use glass, but since they're the two small ones in the forward part of the main cabin we simply opened them (as there function was once upon a time), cleaned all the old bedding apart (a mix of silicone, sika and foam) and re-bedded with foam and butyl tape. We tried to fill it all up with butyl (since we're not going to open them) but the wear and the 'space' left did not wok, so we put new gasket and then assured the bedding with butyl. Rain is falling as I write and not a drop there.
More work to come in those lines are some of the side portholes. One of them, and most probably the cause of why the old-ancient depth sounder is not working, leaks quite a bit pretty much where the depth sounder sits and then travels down. This one seems to have a deeper history on the last owner, as there is a ****ton of bog and what not around the area where the porthole is fastened. I can see in the distance of future jobs that we might need to "add" some framing since he's mounted it over an older one, bigger one, and tried to keep it watertight in a... cheap? way.
I spent yesterday a good amount of daylight and some nighttime into replacing the fuel line coming from the main tank to the day tank since it gave me the shivers to look at it, touch it and think about it. It was reinforced water hose and it was stiff as a rock, all the way. It had a leaky electric fuel pump (which I believe it was ment to be for water), about 3 different copper-pipe "links" and a real good sense of being very old and not being replaced when the new engine came. I have observed this pattern in quite some things in this boat. New things, but kept the old fitting/cable/pipe. Not how I would do things, but I guess that's what we're here for. For now, I put an in-line bleeding bulb to be able to pump fuel into the day tank, although I have ordered and received an electrical fuel pump, I want to try and get the sediment out of the tank one day, or even take it off and completely clean it. But not just yet. So I stick to manual non-clogging and eventually the bulb can help prime the electrical one too.
I also changed the two primary filters/water separators and cleaned them all up, as well as the engine fuel filter. A good first experience with positive result with the whole bleeding the engine working by the end of the day. When darkness came (early anyway) was time for the oil, and this engine seems to have a simple system with the sump-pump being preinstalled in the system. Changed the oil filter too and seems to be all fine.
The focus on getting the engine as good as it can be is that we're taking her out of the water next week and we've got a bit of motoring to do to get there. The rig is not to be used since the forestay is off but I will still keep the tension in the haliards that are holding the mast and have a little sail ready in case there's no other option. An anchor and rode will also be ready on deck.
Will be a fun first trip, with no depth reading and no rig!

Many boat owners in the PNW used a 60 - 80 W bulb left on permanently to reduce moisture in their vessels.
Whoa, on the first picture I got excited! But then I saw that is a whole three-dimensional piece (including the stem protection) and that won't fit for sure. The angle is bigger and wouldn't fit without having to cut it off. Infinite thanks Phil!

No worries, just stumbled upon it and thought it might work. You'd be extra lucky to find all the angles the same though. Unless you know a bloke who is pretty handy with an angle grinder and a welder.....

Prof. Hanson teaches and publishes in the areas of theories of medical ethics, clinical ethics, and end-of-life care and death and dying. Prior to appointment, Prof. Hanson completed two fellowships at UofL: the Crown Life Fellowship in Bioethics, Institute of Bioethics, Health Policy, and Law from 2006-7, and a Gheens Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Bioethics the previous year.
Prof. Hanson has difficulty saying "no" to work, and consequently is a member of UofL's Institutional Review Boards, vice chair of the ethics committee at UofL Hospital, and is one of the founding faculty members of UofL's Interdisciplinary MA program in Bioethics and Medical Humanities. He also has an appointment in the Department of Family and Geriatric Medicine's Division of Medical Humanism & Ethics, which has allowed him to round with residents and learn a lot about clinical life outside of the remarkable ethics cases. He has given single-class lectures in "Ethics and…" for Bioengineering, Public Health, and Dentistry, and has taught multiple didactics and small groups in the ethics portion of the School of Medicine's Introduction to Clinical Medicine courses. He has also developed a relationship with the Kornhauser Medical Library and has given talks in connection with the library on research ethics in connection with the traveling Frankenstein exhibit (conclusion: Victor Frankenstein needed an IRB!), preventive ethics in disasters, and publication ethics with regard to immorally derived data.
A serendipitous thought by one of the Geriatrics faculty led to a valuable collaboration with the Palliative Care Fellowship in the hospital and with the recently formed palliative care practice there. In addition to working with the fellowship program as a faculty member, Prof. Hanson has also been able to learn from and occasionally assist on their many ethically interesting and challenging cases.
These opportunities, begun in his clinical ethics fellowships and continued since, have allowed Prof. Hanson to gain valuable clinical experience that has really changed how he views medical ethics. This leads philosophers, a community in which atheists can happily create arguments for the existence of God and in which otherwise apparently sane people can argue that it is quite possible that nothing actually exists and then go to lunch, to sometimes look askance at him, as he seems to "care" what the "practical results" of the "theories he espouses" would be.

However my desk was in SHOCK and just cried out to me to cover it with something. And I had new rubber that NEEDED to be inked, so being the team player that I am, I made just a tiny, one project mess that will disappear in just minutes. And this is what I made------------->>
I've got to get some better lighting for taking photos for this blog because she is much more vibrant in real life and has sparkles that I don't think you can see. This is a stamp I just bought from stampingbella.com. I colored her with copics, which I am still learning to use. I have made progress and I'm pretty proud of the shading I got on her scarf.
This will go to my dear friend Liz, a real sweetie that I was lucky enough to eat lunch with today. Ha, we have known each other for 16 years, ate dozens and dozens of lunches together, attended a zillion meetings and enjoyed countless adult beverages together and yet it wasn't until we shopped a bit after lunch that I found out she has a real attraction for "shiny" things. Who knew? Obviously not me. But now I do and so she will get this sparkling card. I think I'll even add a little more bling - her shoes are looking a little blah, don'tcha think?

About NTA
NorthAmerican Transportation Association is a Transportation Benefits Organization (TBO) established in 1990 primarily as a drug testing consortium in California under the name of Southern California Truck Owners and Independent Operators Consortium and reincorporated in Nevada in 1992. Since then the organization made the Public Utilities Commission and California Highway Patrol's recommended list of approved drug testing programs and it's membership grew over the years to the second largest association with over 5000 members just in California and so did the need for it's services. As a result, in 1991 we added a benefits package which helped provide, maintain and enhance the quality of life for Independent Truck Drivers and their families with information and advice on products, services, health and personal finance that is necessary for them to succeed in the transportation business.
Due to demand, we have added independent salespersons and safety consultants in both Northern & Southern California and have expanded our membership to all 48 states to include all small trucking companies, small private fleets, and all other small transportation-related businesses who use vehicles of all types in their business. We currently have opened independently operated offices in California, Texas, and Pennsylvania to handle our other 6000 plus members and have plans to expand in other key states.
We now take pride in serving thousands of members nationwide from companies in the following diverse industries; religious organizations, construction, intermodal trucking, general trucking, septic tank, taxi, tour buses, fire suppression, recycling, pallet, food, lighting, lumber, distribution, and leasing.
The significant growth of the association can be directly linked to its willingness to listen and respond to its members needs and concerns. Our 6000 plus members have drivers based from Mexico to Washington on the West Coast, through the Midwest states of Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio to the East Coast from Vermont down to Florida.
NTA Inc. invites its members to pickup a complimentary copy of the monthly magazine, 10-4 Express, from our web site, filled with information on owning and operating a trucking business, as well as information on developments in the trucking industry.
You'll find that the combined buying power of a association the size of NTA Inc. means substantial group discounts on all services offered such as our low-cost nationwide Substance Abuse Programs, our HMO Health Plan, Our Occupational/Accident Program has the lowest rates around. Most importantly we have a wide range of insurance coverage's that small business or independent drivers simply can't get or afford on their own.
OUR MISSIONOur mission is two fold. First, to provide the independent trucker and small private fleets with the tools needed to survive and succeed as small business owners and Second, to help the motor carrier maintain the necessary relationship required by the IRS and still make available a wide array of services their independent contractors would not otherwise be eligible for.
KNOWLEDGEABLE ADVOCATEIn 1996, we acquired the services of Wayne Schooling as Western Regional Safety Manager. In 1997, Mr. Schooling was promoted to Executive Director. In 1998, the Board of Directors voted Mr. Schooling President and CEO of SCOOC Inc. In March 1999, we joined the Drug and Alcohol Testing Industry Association. In April 1999, we changed our name to NorthAmerican Transportation Association to better reflect the members we serve.
Mr. Schooling was formerly in charge of the Safety Office in Southern California for the California Trucking Association, answering questions from the membership regarding state and federal safety regulations as well as representing the industry at various meetings throughout the state.
He holds a Certificate of Training in Substance Abuse issued by the United States Department of Transportation, Transportation Safety Institute. He also has training in Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste. He was on the Government Relations Committee of the Drug and Alcohol Testing Industry Association
Prior to this industry position, he was Director of Safety for four trucking companies in the Long Beach area. He was on the Board of Director of The Harbor Transportation Club in Los Angeles and was listed with Technical Advisory Service for Attorneys (TASA) and Due Diligence as an expert witnes. He was registered as a Safety Consultant for Professional Safety Consulting, Inc., Lincoln, NE. He is currently a contributing staff writer for 10-4 Express magazine and has a monthly column at LAYOVER.COM and TruckingSuccess.com on the Internet.
Our member executives and managers in the transportation industry have the opportunity to have him on their side and to gain the knowledge and experience of Mr. Schooling on matters that impact their business with business and safety regulations.

Dear Jordan and Ana Marie,
I'm so happy for your both and have enjoyed reading your courtship story. Thank you so much for inviting me to the wedding, but I won't be able to attend.

Hope you'll post wedding pics!!
Love, In Christ,
Mary Cooper
Dear Jordan and Ana Marie, even though we have never met you we do feel so moved by your beautiful story and we wish you every happiness in the future as God uses you both (as a couple!) to bless others.

Our love and prayers are with you all as you approach the wonderful celebration of your marriage.


text: Cepia (pronounced "SEP-ee-uh") is the sound of industry meeting with the vague memories that rest somewhere in the back of everyone's mind. Processed bells lilt and chime at their whim, while kick drums skitter and scramble to catch up. Infinite layers of clicks and drones provide the glue that holds it all together perfectly. Minneapolis-based Huntley Miller, the man behind Cepia, fuses all the most affecting elements of pop, rock, and jazz composition, polyrhythms, countermelodies, calculated structures, and melodic hooks, into a cohesive electronic whole. After playing bass in several different bands over the last decade, Miller began his foray into electronic composition, and his virtuosity permeates every mesmerizing moment as he gives the 'listening music' genre a much-needed eye opener. Endless, unidentifiable rustles and squeaks underscore the seamless tapestry of mournful melodies and driving, mechanical rhythms explored within these tracks. The Cepia sound is complex, though urprisingly accessible, enveloping the listener and offering new discoveries with every listen.

As I have mentioned before, I don't believe adoptees have freedom of speech. Whenever an adopted person tries to bring up the fact that adoption is not all it's cracked to be, he or she is met with rebuttals. I analyzed several of those rebuttals in my earlier post. So now I'd like to share another rebuttal, and one that I consider the piece de resistance— "What did you want your mother to do? You were unwanted. She did what she thought was best for you by giving you up." Aargh! Obviously, anyone who could say such a thing has been too influenced (brainwashed) by the adoption industry and Read More

Each state will have different laws regarding how they determine the severity of the crime. For instance, what is considered first degree burglary in one state may be tried as second degree burglary in another state. The following are some general guidelines to determine whether someone would be guilty of a first degree burglary. Penalties vary too, but most first degree burglaries will have harsher sentences.
Burglary 101
For all counts of burglary, the defendant of the crime has to knowingly enter a premise with the intent to commit a crime. According to Find Law, unlike theft and robbery, a burglary charge doesn't require that the defendant actually leave with stolen property. In fact, not all burglary charges involve stolen goods. A defendant can be charged with burglary if the intent was another crime—including murder and sexual assault. At the very core of burglary is that an unlawful trespass occurred.
First Degree Burglary
First degree burglary will carry the highest penalties because it is considered the most serious offense. In most of all state laws, the first part of the crime will state the person entered the dwelling with criminal intent. To be guilty of first degree burglary in most states, the prosecutor must also prove one of the following:
- Defendant was armed with a deadly weapon or
- Caused physical injury to non-participants in the crime or
- Threatened use of a dangerous instrument or
- Displayed knife or firearm
In states like South Carolina, there are additional circumstances when a first degree burglary charge can be applied. For instance, first degree burglary can be leveled at a defendant with two or more prior burglary convictions. On the other hand, in California, for a person to be charged with first degree burglary, the court must prove that unlawful entry occurred in an inhabitated dwelling.
Burglary Prevention
Being a victim of any type of burglary is a horrifying thought. Once a burglar enters the home unlawfully, there's no telling what type of crime will take place. Although losing personal property and cash is a huge blow, if the burglary turns violent, the break-in can have devastating results.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, "one burglary occurs every 12.4 minutes and 78.6 percent of burglaries take place at a residential dwelling."
Although having a dog and choosing secure locks on your doors and windows can offer moderate protection against burglaries, the only surefire way to keep your home and family safe is with a monitored home security system. First of all, security systems act as deterrents for burglars and may stop your home from being a target. If a burglar does attempt to enter the home, authorities will be alerted and police will be called to the home.
Don't trust any old company to protect your home. The professionals at Protect America can help get you set up with a complete monitored home security system. Security options include high-definition video surveillance, motion detectors, home automation, monitored smoke detectors, and window and door sensors.

Luckily the torrential rain stopped in time for the Boarders' trip to Southwold today! The sun shone and the girls enjoyed exploring the famous pier and indulging in a spot of shopping before sampling the chips and ice cream. They spent time combing the beach for sea glass and braving the water with their toes…all plans to swim were abandoned with the discovery that the North Sea is cold!

These influences are not set in stone. You always have free will choice to take a path or not. I do many readings for clients who come for a reading with nothing but what if questions.

The Reality of Recycling
Did You Know?
Recently we read an eye‐opening article from the New York Times regarding China and their ban on recycling plastics and paper products from other countries. Click here to read the article.
The United States has been sending millions of tons of scrap paper and scrap plastics annually to China, but China will no longer be accepting our materials for recycling. Now we (and many other parts of the world) are scrambling to figure out what to do with our 6th largest export to China.
Is Recycling Really Working?
What this New York Times article makes us think about is the reality of recycling, which we'd venture to guess a lot of folks aren't apprised of. We think we are doing our part when we toss our single‐use, individual serving sized bottled water container into the recycling bin. But maybe we shouldn't be using those bottles in the first place. Putting plastic bottles in the recycle bin isn't a magical solution that easily makes the bottle disappear.
The reality of recycling: it takes a lot of energy and resources to do make it happen. The scrap plastic has to be processed and washed at our local facilities (using energy and water to do so). Then it must be transported all the way to China (costing more gas and emissions)! Then you need to use equipment to actually recycle it (more emissions, energy, and pollution). Some people do the calculations and think recycling is kind of "a wash" in terms of what it costs to the environment. And now, China isn't going to recycle it for us, so where is it all gonna go?
How Can You Do Your Part?
We at Water, Inc. feel very strongly about bottled water, and this is yet another reason to stop buying and using it. We offer our line of Body Glove Water Filter Systems as an alternative for you to refill your drinking container.
One BG‐12000 cartridge gives you about a year's worth of filtered water.
Want to know how many plastic water bottles that saves from the trash or recycling?
7,573 Plastic Bottles!
And as an extra step, we have a free and easy recycle program for the cartridge. So that's one cartridge that needs to be recycled vs. over 7,000 bottles each year. That seems like a good common sense tradeoff!
Please click here to visit our website today to find the water filtration system that's right for you and for our environment.
Head over to our dealer locator to find a store near you to purchase a system and say goodbye to plastic bottles!

A Chilly Winter Morning on the Farm
thecowlocale is excited to introduce a new series: "Featured Farm Photo" in which we will share a monthly photo from a dairy farm in the Mountain West.
February 2013
Holly Bown, of TheEnchantedPhoto and wife of 5th generation dairy farmer, Trent Bown, is the first contributor to our monthly "Featured Farm Photo" series. We recently caught up with Holly and asked her a few questions – about photography, about her interests, and about life on the farm. Meet Holly:
How did you get into photography?
In one way or another I have always been into photography. When I was in grade school I had an old 110mm film camera (anyone remember those?) When I got into high school I took a photography class, and then spent 6 months in Spain where I documented everything through film. After high school I went to a small junior college where I worked for the PR department and was on the yearbook staff. I spent many late nights in the dark room during those years. I worked at a few photography studios before I married, but didn't really get back into photography seriously until 2008 when I started my own business.
What types of photos do you enjoy taking most?
For photography clients, I love editorial style shoots – where they are highly stylized and thematic. I feel like I can be so much more creative with those. After that I love high school senior photography. There is just something about that age that pulls me in. I also love weddings – they are very similar to the editorial style, in that they are heavily accessorized. For myself I love to photograph landscapes. I think that has come as a function of living on the farm where I have hundreds of acres to explore.
I have also recently begun to explore filming, as in movies, and am really enjoying the process. I have created a few mini films for my husband and his blog (UsFarmGuys), as well as a few for photography clients. I would really like to see this side of my business grow in the next few years.
What's it like living and raising a family on a dairy farm? Did you grow up on a farm?
I didn't grow up anywhere close to a farm. In fact I lived in New Jersey until I was in 7th grade, and then moved back to my mom's hometown in the San Fransisco Bay Area. I guess where I lived in NJ was fairly rural (as rural as you can get 45 minutes from New York City!) We were surrounded by farms, but I never lived ON one before I met my husband. Now I live in the middle of no where Utah, right in the middle of the muck, and I honestly wouldn't change it! OK, I might trade the muck for some asphalt, but I think I must have always been a country girl at heart.
What are some of the things you do on the farm?
I would like to do more on the farm, in fact I have asked my husband to teach me to drive a tractor, but that has yet to happen! I do work with our vet, Dr. Harding, every Thursday for herd health day, and I do enjoy that. Other than that, I guess there isn't much on the farm for me to do!
What prompted you and Trent to start the blog UsFarmGuys? What role do you play in the blog?
Trent has become very involved with social media in the last few years, and had a smaller blog before UsFarmGuys.com. He decided he wanted to upgrade it and do something bigger with it, and that is about the time I started doing mini films. His was the first one I did in a series highlighting some of the other farmers we knew. I don't play a huge roll in the blog. I help him with what ever design work he needs done, and occasionally I will produce a film for him, but he has even kind of taken that over by just doing little Farm Report videos with his phone. I guess he can't afford my rate any more. 😉
Any tips you want to share on taking good photos?
One of the best pieces of advice I can give is to learn how to take your camera off "auto". It is really amazing the things you can create when you learn to shoot in a more manual mode.
There are also basic design rules that apply to photography and can make a huge difference. A basic one is the rule of thirds. Divide your screen into 3rds vertically and horizontally, and where these intersect is where you should place your subject to create the most interest in an image. A lot of cameras will actually add this grid for you until you get used to seeing it on your own.
Try it yourself and see what the results are!
Holly and Trent Bown live, farm, take pictures, and raise their family in Fayette, UT.

Another Acquisition Adds New Group to Authority Brands
One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning is among the franchises joining Authority Brands with its acquisition of Clockwork.
With its third buy since being acquired by Apax Partners in September 2018, Authority Brands will fold Clockwork, Inc. and its three home service providers into its Maryland-based company. It's the latest move in a string of recent home and outdoor services franchise acquisitions as multi-brand franchisors look to boost opportunities to cross-sell to franchisees and widen their reach.
The $300 million acquisition of Clockwork, expected to close in the first half of this year, will bring Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, Mister Sparky electric and One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning under Authority Brands' umbrella, joining The Cleaning Authority, Homewatch CareGivers, America's Swimming Pool Company and Mosquito Squad. Direct Energy Group, a subsidiary of international energy and services company Centrica, has owned Clockwork since 2010.
Rob Weddle, CEO of Authority Brands, called the deal an "important and significant step in the evolution of Authority Brands."
"All three brands are market-leading franchises within their respective industries and their addition to our portfolio doubles our overall system revenue to over $1 billion," Weddle said in an announcement of the deal. "This scale allows us to further strengthen each of our brand's systems and continue down the path of becoming the home services franchisor of choice for both business owners and consumers."
Benjamin Franklin and Mister Sparky both moved up in the Franchise Times Top 200+ ranking last year, to No. 244 and No. 330, respectively. Benjamin Franklin posted systemwide sales of $196 million, while Mister Spark came in at $89 million. One Hour slipped three spots to No. 182 but still pulled in $365 million in sales.
The attractive markets in which Clockwork brands operate—it has more than 700 franchise territories—will bring scale and diversification to Authority Brands' platform, noted Ashish Karandikar of Apax Partners. "We anticipate substantial benefits for both businesses from cross-selling and collaboration across marketing, technology and operational support," he said.
Authority Brands' existing franchises have more than 550 locations in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Kenya and Indonesia.

"They say they are used to it, they know how it goes, so they're not really threatened by anything that might happen." Danger zone Reyes said Joey Salceda, the governor of Albay province where the volcano is located, had been giving a stark warning to residents seeking to return to the danger zone. Authorities are trying to persuade residents to stay in evacuation centres [Reuters] "He has been telling them 'if you're there, you're dead', so he's basically trying to scare them away from the volcano," she said. On Tuesday Salceda told Al Jazeera that patrols were searching the area for about 500 people still thought to be in the evacuation zone. "We're conducting house-to-house surveying to make sure people will go to the evacuation centres. There is some resistance due to the Christmas season," he said. "To keep people in the evacuation centres we're holding concerts and other activities in order to keep people from going home." A major hazardous eruption of the volcano could occur before the end of the week, scientists have said. Mayon, the most active of 22 volcanoes dotted across the Philippines, has been rocked by hundreds of increasingly powerful earthquakes in recent hours, suggesting a major explosion could be imminent. Intense activity However, volcanologists studying the rumbling mountain say that at the same time the volcano may yet calm down or settle into a more moderate eruption phase. Officials say it may be days or weeks before evacuees can return home [AFP] As of early Wednesday, scientists said they had detected a slight decrease in the number of volcanic earthquakes shaking the cone-shaped mountain. But Renato Solidum, the Philippines chief volcanologist told ABS-CBN news the quakes' intensities had become "consistently bigger in size", indicating that the volcano's seismic activity remains intense. He said observers had also tallied 280 "audible booming and rumbling sounds" from Mayon, which were heard up to 15km away from the volcano's crater. Meanwhile residents living outside the evacuation area are reporting health problems from the clouds of volcanic ash ejected from the volcano. Villagers have said the ash is stinging their eyes and irritating their skin. Medical officials have warned that the tiny ash particles could cause respiratory problems or skin diseases and have advised residents to cover their mouths and skin when they go outside.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has a lot of information, acquired from telescopes, satellites, rovers, spacecraft, and pretty much anything you can point at space. They have so much, it's almost unmanageable. So the lab collaborated with CalTech to start JPL Infographics, a crowd-sourced data-visualization challenge. They'll supply the info, you create the graphic.
JPL's website offers access to images and fact sheets from exoplanets to the Voyager expedition. Hack through the mission data, lay it out on a photo or artist's rendering (Photoshop not included), and share it with the world (or at least with other space nuts). With a near-bottomless set of resources, and access to some of NASA's most stunning images, graphic designers are already pumping out visualizations of the Mars Rover, the evolution of stars, and whatever else looks pretty over an image from space. More than 50 have been uploaded since the site launched today.
