Introduction: Elegant Bun Within Minutes
A hair bun is full of versatility in the world of fashion. It's a hairstyle that can be worn during any season, and is especially great to showcase during the Summer! You can dress the bun up by adding hair accessories, or dress it down for a simpler look. The bun is also the go-to hairdo for those of us in a rush. This particular hair bun, however, can be done in very little time while giving the illusion that you spent far more time on your hair than you actually did. It's so simple and yet so gorgeous!
Step 1: What You Will Need
For this hair tutorial, you will need just one elastic hair band, eight bobby pins, and of course a hair brush. Hairspray is optional. Also make sure that the elastic hair band and bobby pins are durable.
Step 2: Half Up, Half Down Ponytail
Using your elastic hair band, act as though you are putting your hair up in a ponytail. But as soon as you begin to pull your hair out of the elastic hair tie for the last time, only pull your ponytail out less than halfway. By the time you've completed this step, your hair should look like the image above. A third of your hair should be in a tight loop and the rest of your hair should hang below that same loop.
Step 3: Let's Rock 'n' Roll (^o^)
Grab the bottom of the ponytail. Roll the bun up using your fingers. Your thumb should be what's enabling you to roll your hair and create a hole in your ponytail roll. Don't roll your entire ponytail because we need enough hair to overlap the loop just as is depicted in the image above.
Step 4: Overlapping the Loop
As I mentioned before, you will now be overlapping the rolled hair over the loop. Try to make it so that your hair overlaps the hair loop, but does not flatten or split it. If your loop happens to split, don't worry because you can easily just tuck the split sides into your hair bun after it's been pinned.
Step 5: Secure the Bun
Use three bobby pins to secure each side of your hair roll. Thus you will be using a total of six bobby pins for this step. Once your confident that your bun is secured it may begin to take shape before you even complete the last step. The bun's sides may begin to fall towards your scalp. This is great it means your almost finished! Yay!
Step 6: Spread and Pin for the Last Time
Gently spread the sides of your bun down to your scalp. Pin the each side with just one bobby pin.
Step 7: Admire the Finished Product
Viola! A beautiful bun in just minutes (^·^)

Appendix A: Reach School Risk-Taking
Published November 2009
For those of you who like to play poker or take a gamble here or there in life, you might want to consider sending a riskier statement to one or two of your reach schools. If you anticipate that a typical applicant with your numbers will be rejected, a unique and compelling statement may help a reach school look beyond those numbers. Note that "risky" means imaginative, but not cute. No matter what, you should never send your personal statement in the form of a poem, legal brief, restaurant menu, visual image, a song, a video, or any other form that is not a short essay. However, the short essay is one of the greatest challenges to the creative mind. Shakespeare wrote sonnets because they are the most condensed and difficult form a writer can choose. Likewise, the short personal statement is a definitive challenge to a good writer to capture a wonderful story in economical but deeply satisfying prose.
If sending a slightly riskier personal statement to a reach school appeals to you, then by all means, try writing two personal statements. Your first should be well-written and solid, with a good story and strong specific examples, which demonstrate your qualities and show how you are unique and talented, and articulate. This is the statement you send to schools to which you feel you have a good chance of acceptance. There the goal of your personal statement is to be beneficial, and most certainly not alienating. Your second statement should be a bit more extreme; you can take a few more risks, play with the language more; make yourself a little more memorable.
What makes a candidate memorable? A bizarre or funny story, a striking or even weird metaphor or theme carried through your essay, more comedy than you usually try, more sensory description than you usually try: These are all strategies that might make your statement memorable to the admissions committee. You still want to make yourself come across as responsible and likeable, even if your self-portrait aims to be completely unique. A riskier statement is kind of like an independent film. It won't be standard Hollywood fare; some of your critics (the admissions committee) will love it, and some might hate it. You're banking that someone on the committee loves it enough to fight for you. If someone on the committee is willing to fight for you, you will probably get in. They've got to really like you, connect with you, and want to get to know you as a friend.
A risky statement will show—not state—your qualities as you move through a profound story. Presumably, if you are an amazing writer, then your main personal statement will shout this out to the sensitive ears of the admissions committee. If you are less confident in your writing skills, in order to be risky, you should probably stick to telling a striking story with loads of sensory details, or trying to incorporate more humor. Make the story or the humor as specific to you as you can, and make yourself an enormously likeable character. Pick a topic or a structure you think is original to you. Give yourself the license to be a little silly or weird, to push the envelope a little or be a little off kilter. Don't go overboard though. For an example of this kind of risky statement, see Personal Statement 5: The Minimalist.

Thank you for your prompt reply to my complaint which is yet to be resolved. I appreciate that the planning application in question(16/01400/OUTEIA)received a large volume of correspondence. One part of this correspondence was in the form of a petition from a campaign group called @saveourtownltn. Also, I appreciate that this petition and the other public correspondence was only one material consideration when the Council's Development Control Committee decided to give its consent to the planning application16/01400/OUTEIA However, neither of us can know what weight each individual Development Control Committee member gave to this one material consideration when they voted to consent to planning application16/01400/OUTEIA. Hence the substance of my complaint is that public petitions should not be a material consideration in planning decision taking at all, because of of their obvious shortcomings that I set out in my letter of complaint to the Council.
Further, Sandra I notice that in your reply to my complaint you have not yet acknowledged whether the petition's signatories were old enough to consent to have their personal data, for example, their name address, and age, published in the reports pack given to members of the Council's Development Control Committee prior to their planning decision taking. Also, I is not my job to read Committee reports to ensure they are legally compliant with Article 8 of the General Data Protection Regulations. It is the Council's job as it is the body to whom the data was given. So please could the Council provide me with its assessment of whether all the public comments, including those made via petition, the Council has received are legally compliant?
Best wishes,
Dear Sir, I have been passed your complaint to respond to. Your complaint is:- "On the 16thJanuary 2019 Luton Borough Council's Development Control Committee consented to Planning Application 16/01400/OUTEIA without properly considering the shortcomings of its own Development Framework that allows its planning decision-taking to be influenced buy Public Petitions that are in favour of a development as it is described in a planning application. The use of a Public petition is inappropriate for this purpose because they are not representative of Luton's total population of 211228 people (ref: population Census 2011). And because there is no way of knowing whether some of the petition's signatories were coerced or bribed to sign the petition! Also, there is no way of knowing whether some of the claimed 10000 signatories are representative sample of Luton's total population. Finally, there is also no way of knowing the ages of the signatories or whether they are old enough to have consented under the recent General Data Protection Regulations GDPR, for their personal data to be published." The recently determined planning application was the subject of significant public consultation where interested parties were able to raise their concerns and the Local Planning Authority received a large volume of correspondence during this process and this was only one material consideration. A copy of the Committee report is available to view on the democracy pages of the Councils website which sets out what the planning considerations were. If after reading the report you feel that concerns you raised during the process have not been taken into account, please feel free to provide me with a copy of your original comments and identify any issues you have in order that I can respond.

You frequently hear Veterans talk about missing combat, their disdain for civilians, or their strong desire to go back into the service. These seemingly dissimilar statements share one core feeling and emotion that almost all service members face after leaving the military. Ask any one of them why they feel this way and you will most likely get a multitude of answers such as "the rush of combat, there is nothing like it" or "civilians are just so naive, they don't know what the world is really like". Although these may be true statements, I believe that there is a core reason why these men say this. Camaraderie, the brotherhood. Many of us joined the military at an incredibly young and impressionable age. Most came in before the age of 20 and spent the most defining time of their lives in the service during a time of war. There is a polarizing difference between friends and brothers that most people who never served can't understand. Sure, you hear about former prison inmates discuss their "brothers", the dudes who watched their back while taking a shower in Chino. But Veterans have a different definition, one that goes far deeper and leaves a feeling that takes them well into their old age.
At age 18 I volunteered for the Infantry and was soon after sent to Ramadi, Iraq in 2006. This was the most volatile time of the Iraq war, and I found myself, arguably, in the most contested city of that campaign. This tour showed me that there was a deeper purpose to me fighting under the American flag. A purpose not of which I had thought I would ever see. The politics no longer mattered, the old men sitting on their pedestal in Washington moving us around like pawn pieces were obsolete. I had one purpose now, and that purpose was to make sure that my brothers, the ones whom I had come to love and care for, more so than the family I left behind, made it home safe to their families. It was an unspoken promise, an agreement that we came to the day the first bullet cracked over our heads. We all knew that this was real and that the enemy was playing for keeps. We lost friends and shared tears at their memorial services, but the tears and grief were brief. Our mourning would have to wait for another day.
We came back from that tour to Iraq and I found myself spending every waking moment with those that were my brothers, the same men that I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, would have taken a bullet for me in the streets of Ramadi. As you can imagine, we consumed dangerous amounts of alcohol and cried together in the confines of our barracks rooms. We questioned why we lived and our best friends didn't. We didn't have the answers to these questions and soon gave up the search for one. This bond, this brotherhood still exists today. I still text, call and visit with these same guys that I cried with, fought with, and trusted with my life. It's been 9 years now since that tour to Iraq, and nothing has changed between us.
All of the men that I held so closely during that tour have left the military and entered into the civilian world. I stayed in long after they did but the phone calls were frequent when this happened. The disdain for civilians and their lack of understanding of what we went through was bothersome for my friends. Entering college at the age of 24 was a frustrating experience for them, they hated the students that felt like they had a grasp on what the world was like, and that they had all the answers. This dissension was real, and it was evident. There was no longer a social structure for these combat veterans to confide in. Their closest brother was hundreds of miles away and living his own life, going through the same struggles. They felt alienated, isolated from the rest of society that they were now required to seamlessly coincide with. There was no preparation for this, there is no military program that can help a veteran prepare for the sudden loss of their entire social structure. Their brotherhood is gone.
These guys are now thrown head first into a society that they can't trust, talk to, or associate with on the same level. It's just a fact of life that your co-workers can't possibly understand why you are the way you are. Why you're so angry at the slightest complaint from a customer; why you feel your boss, whom is the newly appointed 22 year old shift manager is a complete idiot. The VA looks at your forms and gives you a disability rating for PTSD. This isn't PTSD per se, but it's a lack of preparedness for the loss of an entire life you once knew. Of course they don't say anything. A struggling vet, with a shit paying job is just awarded a monthly payment. They take it.
It's at about this time in their lives that you start seeing their posts' on Face Book become more bitter towards people, more angry at everyone that never wore a uniform. Their profile picture is 7 years old, a younger, more fit version of themselves taken somewhere in the middle east. These guys start drinking heavily, hoping to "get away" from the world they now live in. The lonely one. Failing to reach out to their boys, ignorant to the fact that they need help, they start abusing the miracle drugs the VA is prescribing and creating a poisonous cocktail of prescription meds and whiskey, eventually finding themselves unemployed due to a variety of possible circumstances. I have seen this downward spiral take hold and have thankfully talked a few brothers off the ledge of malicious thought and depression. I was incredibly fortunate to see the signs early enough and I made a phone call in the middle of the night, hoping that they would pick up. Talks of "the good ole' days" and words of encouragement have helped more than a handful of honorable men I call friends. But sometimes we're not so lucky. 22 times a day we're unlucky.
I've been separated from the military for a few years now, and unlike almost every guy I served with, my transitional period required a different process of transitioning into this new life I was to now live and prosper in. I moved to San Diego, as far away from the Army and any person I wore a uniform with. I didn't want to be around the military, I hated hearing war stories from some gloating soldier that felt like he had a sweet run in Afghanistan. I didn't want to talk about what I did, what my background was or if I had ever shot a man. I found myself lying to people if I got cornered in a conversation where my military service was on the verge of being discovered. I didn't do this because I was ashamed of what I did for 8 years, I was incredibly proud of my career. I was just avoiding the inevitable ignorant questions. But who can blame them? Who can blame their curiosity for wanting to know what the war that their country has been in for the past 14 years has been like? I didn't hate civilians, I envied them. I envied their success, and sometimes, I envied their ignorance. I envied their ability to fall asleep like a baby without having a night cap. I just wanted to fit in, and I knew that my success outside of the Army relied upon it. In my opinion, the suicide crisis that the veteran community is facing isn't an issue necessarily of PTSD, sure, that of course is included; but the issue is a decimated bond that service members face when they leave the military. There is no brotherhood to be had outside of the military with your new found "civilian" friends. You can't and shouldn't expect your co-worker to take a bullet for you, they live in a world where "flight" sounds far more appealing than "fight". But that is what makes us so great, that is why the society that we call ignorant, needs us so badly. We are the ones they can count on to take that bullet, to fight that threat, and to save their child from a burning car on the interstate. Be the people your country can count on again, men like Alek Skarlatos, Spencer Stone, Anthony Sadler and Chris Mintz. There is a purpose for us yet gentleman, we still have a mission, even outside of the military. You're needed now, just as much as you've ever been. Go be great again.

Veteran friends have a different quality to civilian friends. Brotherhood is a special bond, a bond that says "I will die for the whole" this unspoken bond is special and I think unique. I might loathe an individual, but he is still my brother regardless of his status in life. Rich or poor, far away or close he is there for me.
1/28/2016 03:24:55 pm
This is good stuff sir. Just shared with a young former army sniper. I am positive it will resonate with him! Kudos to you sir!
1/29/2016 07:05:06 am
This was a great read for me. I lost my son 4 years ago to PTSD related suicide. It is a horror no one should ever have to endure. I commend you for your insight to help this "ignorant" civilian realize the unbelievable bond between your brothers. I would do anything and everything to help a family in need. I pray for each and every one of you that you go on to live long, healthy lives. Thanking you for your service......a grieving Marine Mom. Semper Fi.

Jody, I'm terribly sorry to hear about your loss. A mother should never bury her child. If you don't mind, I would like to post a picture of your son with a short bio/story about him on the website under our Never Forget page, to honor him and his memory. If this is something you would like, please email me at email@example.com

As I read this I realize that who you are writing about isn't just yourself but it's about Ridge, Carlson, Jerovetz and many others that each and everyone of us know just by different names. Life is hard enough walking through the Maalab in Ramadi, or Hwy 1 in Afghanistan. These are 13 brothers I have buried in nine years, after six tours. God know how man close calls. But I had this conversation recently. As a leader of 47 men I am proud, I'm strong, I can't be stopped. As an individual I'm terrified, I'm scared of the civilian world even after seeing the real world. I takes me hours to fall asleep if I ever do. As long as I have a weapon I'm comfortable. It's my security blanket. I couldn't imagine a life without carrying one. I hide from my brothers from time to time due to the one time we almost died, all because that one guy didn't come home that time. That conversation makes my palms sweat, my head pound, my
2/4/2016 02:52:02 pm
My son came home alive...not necessarily unscathed...and i am forever grateful for that! If there is ever anything i can do to help any soldier or their family, please contact me! There are 'civilians' who try to understand and who care!
1/15/2017 04:10:35 pm
Betts, amazing choice of words. Going through the same exact situation myself I clearly understand and agree. There is alot more clarity in this writing then there is trying to "figure it out". I appreciate the read, and will definitely share. Hope all is well my friend.

Pharrell Williams and Camila Cabello team up on the new track "Sangria Wine." The pair previously joined forces on Cabello's hit 2017 single "Havana."
Cabello sings in both English and Spanish on the new track, while Williams adds lines like 'Moving side to side, front and behind / Do the sangria wine.'
Cabello performed the song live for the first time during her "Never Be the Same Tour" in Vancouver earlier this year (she also performed the track live on stage in Los Angeles). She has also been busy teasing the new collaboration on her social media for the past few weeks and months. Cabello and Pharrell will also be performing "Sangria Wine" for the first time on television at the Billboard Music Awards on May 20.

In 2009, game designer Jane McGonigal's life suddenly changed when she suffered a debilitating concussion. SuperBetter is her story of recovery–how she used her skills to create a game to help her recover–and how this personal project turned into a national plan to assist the recovery of others. Based on scientific research into the beneficial properties of playing games, her program became a research study with the National Institutes of Health and, more than 400,000 people later, it continues to help others. She'll describe her experiences–how she overcame ill health through gaming–and explain why, in order to live a "happier, braver, more resilient life," we all need to adopt a "gameful" mindset. Whether it's Pacman, soccer, or a crossword puzzle, she'll explain how to use any games we encounter to control attention, strengthen relationships, and self-motivate.

The Kadir Has Coventry University Istanbul collaboration provides students with the opportunity to gain international experience to further enhance their employability by studying for a semester or academic year at the partner university, undertaking a short field trip or undertaking joint academic projects in a virtual environment through Online International Learning (OIL). The collaboration also provides international exchange opportunities for academic and professional staff.
Student Exchange
International education plays an important role in preparing students for an international labour market that is becoming more diverse and competitive. University graduates that study abroad and develop adaptability and foreign language skills will have a competitive advantage on the international job market and be more likely to achieve success in their career. Research has found that 75% of students with international experience gain a graduate position relevant to their discipline within 6 months of graduation, and, on average, students with international experience earn £4,000 more than those without (Attainment in Higher Education – Erasmus and Placement Students, HEFCE, 2009).
Current students at Kadir Has University or Coventry University can spend between three and 12 months studying abroad through Erasmus+ (European Region Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students), the European Commission's flagship exchange program. Erasmus students currently benefit from a fee waiver if they are abroad for a full academic year. Eligible students receive an Erasmus grant to contribute to living costs arising from studying abroad.
Students will need to obtain a visa before undertaking exchange visits. Students wishing to study in the UK can visit on a Student Visitor visa (up to six months) or Tier 4 (General) visa (over six months). Further information regarding UK Study visas is available on GOV.UK. Students wishing to study in Turkey can visit on an Education Visa. Further information on obtaining an Education visa for Turkey is available here.
Staff Exchange
Kadir Has University and Coventry University provide opportunities for staff to work at a partner institution for a one week period as part of the Erasmus+ program in order to support internationalisation and collaborative working.

Location: Savannah Bay, Virgin Gorda
This morning we woke up in Savannah Bay. Shortly after breakfast, the dolphin students left on Adonis to do a morning dive. After we dove, we came back to Savannah Bay and we went on a short nature hike on Virgin Gorda. When we were done with the hike we hung out on the beach for about an hour. All of the dolphin students then returned to Adonis to go water skiing, wake boarding, or knee boarding, After we were done, I returned to my boat, Rangitoto Too, with the rest of my dolphin shipmates. We quickly took showers and ate dinner. Once we were done, we then headed to Great White for a night diving lecture.

So this year, on the heels of the recent release of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie and the "What Color is this Dress?" viral social media story, we're playing off more than just green beer. New color stories seem to be everywhere, including in the Archadeck world of decks, porches, patios and…(stay tuned) outdoor furniture.
New color offerings in the world of decking include:
- Trex Transcends capped composite decking now comes in two new colors since last spring: Island Mist and Havana Gold . These add two more hues to the already vibrant tropical color line that still includes Spiced Rum, Tiki Torch and Lava Rock.
- TimberTech expanded their very popular Earthwood Evolutions Legacy collection of capped composite with a nice Ashwood color. In their Terrain value collection, 3 colors were added: Rustic Elm, Silver Maple and Stone Ash.
- Azek introduced a beautiful new Vintage Collection of PVC decking just this spring; the 3 color offerings in this line include Cypress, Dark Hickory and Mahogony.
For those keeping score, that's 9 new color offerings across just those three brands of wood-alternative decking products in the past year. Breaking that score down further, 4 of those were some shade of grey. Believe it or not, 50 shades of grey decking is not beyond the realm of possibility…someday.
In the world of railing, I think Feeney's DesignRail aluminum system has introduced the biggest color splash for spring: BOLD COLORS! The opposite of grey. Bold, as in green, blue, red, orange and yellow…nearly all the colors of a vibrant rainbow!
In an effort to accommodate these ever-changing colors in the world of decking and railing, we re-worked our office and design studio last spring to allow more flexibility in our displays of these products. When you're ready to custom-design your outdoor living space with us, we've got a very effective facility to help take the "fear of the unknown" out of your decision-making process.
In the Archadeck world, a whole new spectrum of colors has been introduced through our new offering this spring of Casuwel outdoor living furniture and accessories. Archadeck of Central Iowa – along with our Outdoor Living Brands, Inc. franchise cohorts, – is proud to announce that we are now certified sales reps for Casuwel premium outdoor furniture. We offer substantial savings off published internet prices and our initial offering consists of 4 woven collections, all with a wide variety of color and pattern fabric options for their cushion options. Accessories include pillows, rugs and umbrellas…also offered in a wide assortment of colors. Did I say colors? We have all the weave and fabric samples in our office and design studio now, along with brochures and catalogs. So, we can easily work with you to configure the furniture needs of your outdoor living space – whether an existing space or a new Archadeck designed/built space. In early April, we will have two of the Casuwel collections on display in our office / design studio, allowing you to check out the fine quality and styling of Casuwel for yourself. We are excited to be offering this new product line. Beautiful, custom-designed/built decks, porches and patios, and now the outdoor furniture to allow you to fully enjoy your outdoor living experience.
With the nice, warm weather we're having, I hope you get a chance to celebrate some of the early rites of spring – St. Patrick's Day, March Madness (never madder than in Iowa, this year) and the First Day of Spring – outdoors on your decks, patios and porches around Des Moines. If your outdoor living spaces aren't up for these types of celebrations, contact us for a free design consultation to see how we can brighten your outdoor living spaces.
Go Outside and Play!

A new rail industry report published today outlines the need for greater competition on the UK rail network through the expansion of Open Access operations. Open Access rail operators are not subject to franchising, and instead purchase individual slots from a rail infrastructure company delivering the benefits of greater competition to users.
Published by the Guild of Travel Management Companies (GTMC), the organisation whose membership books 80 per cent of business travel in the UK, the 'Open Access – business traveller benefits from genuine rail competition' report calls for all three main political parties to commit to supporting Open Access.
In addition, the GTMC also asks for the Department for Transport and Office of Rail Regulation to drop their opposition to new long distance Open Access rail services.
Paul Wait, chief executive of the GTMC explains: "We firmly believe that greater competition within the UK rail network will make a positive contribution to rail ticket prices, the connectivity of towns not currently served by mainline services and the ability of business travellers to work through their journey, In turn this will support business efficiency and productivity thereby directly supporting business and economic growth across the country, particularly in the regions."
"Our unique insight into the requirements of the business traveller – of which rail travel is an intrinsic part – means we are acutely aware of the need for the rail network to evolve and further satisfy the criteria of cost, convenience and productivity, all of which dictate the choice of the business traveller."
"Historically there has been reluctance within government to support the development of Open Access to lines beyond the East Coast Main Line. We are calling for the Government to reconsider this position and implement a wider application of open access that will benefit not only the business traveller and as a consequence the UK economy."
The report will be presented at a roundtable parliamentary dinner at the House of Commons this evening attended by Paul Wait, chief executive of the GTMC and Chaired by Paul Maynard MP (PPS to the Minister of State for Policy).
Commenting on the report Paul Maynard said, "I'm delighted that the GTMC is raising the important issue of increasing competition on the UK rail network by supporting more Open Access operations. It is vitally important that the voice of the business traveller is heard in discussions over the future shape of our transport system."
"There are clear benefits for business travellers in terms of cost, connectivity and productivity from Open Access operators competing against incumbent franchisees. The ability of Open Access operations to provide direct connections for towns that have hitherto not enjoyed these is an example of the types of innovation that competition on the rail network can deliver. Indeed my constituency still has no direct links into London and the prospect of an Open Access operator putting these in place, replicating the benefits enjoyed by places like Sunderland and Bradford, is something that would be a real boost to the local business community. I look forward to the debate that the GTMC report will trigger."
Recent research by the GTMC reiterates the importance Open Access within the business travel community. From a survey of 1,000 business travellers, 74% expressed support for two rail companies competing on the same line. It is the GTMC's ambition that government will recognise the significance of this issue both to business travellers and the economy and the benefits that Open Access would bring to both.
Unlike rail franchises, open access train operators do not rely on subsidies from the Department for Transport or pay a premium to the Government. Rather they work with the Office of Rail Regulation to purchase individual mainline slots from a railway infrastructure provider. As a result open access operators can directly drive competition in the UK rail sector, bringing with it a number of benefits for the business traveller, including competitive pricing and expansion of routes outside of the UK's biggest cities.
As part of its support for the development of open access operations across the UK rail network the GTMC report makes the four following key recommendations:
· The Department for Transport and Office of Rail Regulation to drop their opposition to new long distance open access services
· The Department for Transport should consider amends to the franchising system to eliminate Moderation of Competition clauses from Track Access Contracts that work against Open Access operators
· The GTMC encourages all political parties to work collaboratively to support Open Access operator applications to a risk averse regulator and Department for Transport
· The GTMC urges all of the three main parties to have an explicit commitment to supporting more Open Access services in their 2015 General Election manifestos
Representing a diverse range of travel management companies – from global companies to small independent specialists and top regional agencies – the Guild of Travel Management Companies (GTMC) is the voice of business travel and acts to lobby those who have an impact on the business travel community, together with promoting the activities of its members as the best in quality and value to the business traveller.

Hello readers!
I have a super pretty layering combo to show you today. I am so in love with how it turned out. This is 1 coat over Fountain of Youth from Misa over Zoya Neely. The shimmer from Fountain of Youth is to die for!
Love it! I want a polish like this in every color! This mani is actually the base to some crazy (for me) nail art which I will hopefully be showing you tomorrow.
Tell me your favorite polishes with similar finishes to Fountain of Youth!

We'll get into the details in a bit, but rest assured that there are some characters and some crazy circumstances involved.This season I chose to follow the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders.The Trojans have been penalized on offense 29 times for 248 yards so far this season, which has them 71st in the nation in penalties.The Thunder did shoot well in that loss, but they also ended up with 18 team turnovers.
They even shot more free throws .In fact, neither of the two are even remembered as a Flyer.He finished the game http://www.buffalosabresofficialonline.com/Adidas-Gilbert-Perreault-Jersey with an average of 24 yards per reception.Victor Bolden was the team leader in receiving with a total of 56 yards and 2 receptions.If you're the Thunder, that can't be the lineup that makes the Womens David Ortiz Jersey difference against you on the scoreboard.
NOTES & TRANSACTIONS View More.So I grew up in rinks.So it's a video of me and one of my best friends talking, and then it turns out to be a dissection of a free agency meeting?No Credit Card.They give up a walk 3 times per http://www.officialauthenticredsoxshop.com/authentic-34-david-ortiz-jersey.html 9 innings while they strike out 10 per 9.Meanwhile, Tristan Thompson became the first player in franchise history to play in 400 consecutive regular-season games.
The pass might have gone in had Chandler not Gilbert Perreault Authentic Jersey touched it, but then it wouldn't have counted.Their relievers have struck out 31 batters and walked 10 opposing hitters.Check out the best dimes and dishes in 's top 10 assists of the week!Brandon Knight and Alex Len sat out again for Phoenix, and I wouldn't expect them here.
Injuries to any of those players would have a severe impact:
- Sure, Brown will be 31 in July, but that's three years younger than Jordy Nelson, and the Raiders need a deep threat — badly;
- Give them a role to start where they can have success and then go from there;
- After Kansas went on a run to take the lead late in the game, Baylor's defense didn't crumble like in previous games;
PSL Owners can also log in via the Baltimore Ravens App, by clicking Tickets, then Manage My Tickets..
Just about every Denver loss has come with the Broncos driving for the winning score in the closing seconds but coming up short.If they do, they will have to earn it as Oklahoma State and Iowa State could each knock off the Jayhawks.Isaiah Taylor comes into this contest averaging 16 points per game while playing 29 minutes per night so far this season for the Longhorns.
You can see the fear that he puts in defenses eyes sometimes when he moves around.Temple's season also included a marquee win over Penn State to open the year.

text: 'FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE' is VR film and a real-world experiment created for GE and BBDO as part of their 'Unimpossible campaign' and for 'The Possible' VR series. The film is a real experiment where we used sound waves to extinguish the fire, or more accurately, a man on fire. The sound frequencies were captured by recording a variety of fire sounds. The frequencies, when fed into Ring Vortex Generators generate forces powerful enough to push flame away from their fuel source. I designed this ring of RVGs specifically for this experiment. Nothing of this scale has been built before. GE provided the science and our amazing partners at Reel EFX provide the know-how - and constructed it. The slow motion scene at the end was shot on a Phantom camera and stitched seamlessly into the rest of the real-time sphere. Some sketches of my original designs are below.

More on the theme of getting males to -- actually -- think about any new approach in the American labor market (or anything else)
Tomorrow I start writing what I hope will be a "doozey" on the minimum wage. First, let me explain what I have been doing lately. I've spent two months crossing the country with email: hitting top newspapers in almost every state (47) with a long message, "Open letter to Oakland mayor Jean Quan -- the only law that can end gun violence", pushing my big obsession -- the only way back -- legally mandated sector-wide labor agreements. I figured journalists could digest something long. And hitting every state legislator with an email address (except New Hampshire state reps: all 400!) with, first, earlier versions of my $15/hr minimum wage pitch and then the "black hole theory" -- which latter I started sending that to both papers and legs once I dreamed it up. May have sent out 14,000 altogether. AT&T kept cutting me off for suspected spamming -- finally figured out how to restart (wait 6 hours first for a bad one -- don't do more than 200 in an hour or be cut off for an hour).
My "doozey" will take a phrase that a professor hit me with: "marginal productivity." I had to look it up too. Without bothering with the "technicalities" (I'm more salesman than tech) I am going to ask -- after some tech explanation:
Did LBJ consult the concept marginal productivity when he raised the minimum wage to $10.75/hr (adjusted and rounded);
did Congress consult marginal productivity when it failed to raise the minimum wage for the next 5 years ('69-'73);
or for 8 years in a row ('82-'89);
or for 4 years in a row ('92-'95);
or for 9 years in a row ('08-'06);
for for now going on 4 years?
Not impressed? That is because you are a female -- you don't need to be coaxed that doubling the minimum wage is not an impossibly big step. Males, OTW, are so slaved to checking in with group -- even the top progressive economists -- that they will not consider anything too novel, too different for one second -- no matter how much sense it might make in the logical abstract. How else are we going to cooperate going after small animals with big sticks -- can't think too independently!
Egro, my open letter to female mayor Jean Quan -- trying to get her to approach my favorite (mostly male) economic faculty up the road in Berkeley (my California driver's license says I live up that same road) on the subject of sector-wide labor agreements.
The "doozey": whisks away the concept of any (scary) established economic order in the way -- portrays just years of sleepy forgetfulness. Then, comes the lock: I point out that double indexing LBJ's minimum wage to inflation and per capita income growth yields $20.20/hr -- leaving today's federal minimum wage at just 36% of that -- maybe not even that much to fix, just fill in part of what's missing (enough to get to $15/hr?).
Want to get somewhere with the male animal on doubling the minimum wage: first, supply the magic numbers, the "black hole theory of the minimum wage" ($15/hr being the median wage: half the workforce will get raises percentage multiples of what their employers pass through to prices will be: wages cause demand to go up) -- and -- then, have fast food workers make a scene for $15/hr all across the nation, anywhere and everywhere you can (the absolutely needed social signal). Last I heard they are making a stink in Missouri.
[LATE THOUGHT -- possibly to be included with the "doozey"]
Even according to Malthusian theory -- from the pre-industrial world where per capita output could not expand every year: all other things held equal, the federal minimum wage would have dropped only a third as US population grew by half (200 million to 300 million). Instead by early 2007 the federal minimum wage had dropped almost in half.

RE: Amanda Bynes' allegation that New York police officer sexually assaulted her
RE: Amanda Bynes' allegation that New York Police Officer sexually assaulted her
As I was shocked to discover upon my researching what I thought TSOs could and could not legally touch at the airpot: every male police officer in this country is taught that frisking a woman is no different than frisking a man. Their department policy may spell out limits (e.g., heel of the hand lifting breasts) but as far as they are concerned the criminal law does not apply -- to them. Sorry about that Amanda!
Three videos of male officers subjecting female victims to (ever so slow motion) sexual battery:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RxH1CnYhd8&feature=related (groped in first minute – released at tenth minute) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NI7JEA4iK4&feature=related
http://www.wktv.com/news/local/FULL-DASHCAM-VIDEO-OF-21111-Utica-traffic-stop-136602198.html (groping begins at 12 minutes -- takes a long time to load)
* * * * * *
Back when the airport screening got heavy I got on the net to research what the constitutional limits must really be. Turns out police departments around the country think there are no limits criminal or constitutional to male officers groping females. I was shocked by one of my first finds: a widely reported story of a courthouse guard groping a mother with two little children to find a sticker in her back pocket. Story was about scanners coming to courthouses -- groping not even commented on!
Officer safety is the first excuse. But a female checked for guns -- which can be done without touching anything with fingers -- and rear cuffed behind is a shield is not going to, first, do the Houdini and slip the bracelets and, then, do the Incredible Hulk, tear aside the partition, draw a sharp object from her bra and scratch the police officer.
Second is the mindless notion that it is not sexual battery as long a cop does it. "We are professionals doing a job." Even: "We are like doctors." Policy may or not discourage going as far as possible but whatever they do, they don't consider it illegal.
Turns out at the airport the letter of the law is that once you enter the security zone, you must submit to the complete body grope -- even if you are a female and only males are available (which is supposed to be not extremely unusual in small airports). It presumably is not strictly enforced -- but just the idea that it can be written shows a giant mental cog is missing with law enforcement on this issue.
Here a female reporter incredibly subjects herself to a male full body frisk on camera.
They even practice kids on kids (presumably over 18).
Simple enough: any search for evidence can be conducted at the police station by the same matron who would strip search the woman if arrested. Probable cause means better than 50/50 chance she will be charged, right? In any case, women in this country can live with the fact that they may be pulled in to a police station to be searched some time in their lives. I can't find the link but Kansas City (I think) police recently held a woman for three days until a female officer came to work to search her for a major shoplift. What women cannot live with is leaving their driver's license home and knowing some brute will perfectly free to grope all over her like she was a teenage boy.
The same law applies to cops that applies to everybody else. A possibly needed common sense legal point: you cannot justify battery because of some good overall effect -- like freeing more police to patrol -- you can only justify battery because of a dangerous circumstance on the spot. One more: If any male police officer can grope a female for any reason as long as it is not sexual -- so can any other male.
The police point to the Terry decision allowing a pat down under clothing under certain constitutionally approved circumstances as if no distinction needs to be made as to sex (as to sexual battery actually).
If there had been a state law that prohibited male police frisking a female intimately (lifting breasts with the heel of the hand, hips and legs any way they want to in today's practice) as a felonious sexual battery could Terry's words have canceled that -- the word of "God"?
Actually, there is no constitutional path by which a court can set aside a criminal prohibition. A court can set aside a protection of a citizen (Fourth Amendment in this case) for police or societal need -- but it cannot allow an exception to a legislative prohibition against harming a citizen other than for imminent danger. If the Terry court had consciously thought of excepting females from protection from sexual battery it could not have done it.
If a legislature excepted police officers from the prohibition against sexual battery, then, an opposing equal protection (the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment) argument would come into play to protect the citizen.
California actually has a half thought out rule that police and private security should try to get a female, first, before a male frisks a female -- which implies sloppily that such male-on-female frisks are not actually illegal. Since this was written to protect females, it should not be taken as establishing an exception but as regulating an exception that the legislature misunderstood to already exist.

Why do women always have the balls -- about the $15/hr minimum wage?
In my cab driver "psyche theory", males are too instinctively stuck in (hunting pack) group think to seriously ponder any radically new direction, no matter how well proven, or for how long, outside their pack territory (like Europe, Canada, South America, Asia). Take (my eternal obsession) legally mandated, sector-wide labor agreements that could instantly re-write the social contract in America which all progressive economics academics have heard of but will never mention out loud -- or (in today's instant case) a $15/hr minimum wage; no matter how reasonably well the eighth-grade math says the outcome will (automatically) work out (click below).
In today's case, the female Los Angeles City Controller Wendy Greuel (an instinctive individual gather) -- takes after the female Massachusetts freshman US senator in advocating a much higher minimum wage -- in her instant case, $15/hr.
Somewhere in Robert Kuttner's 2010 book "A Presidency in Peril" is a scene from the early Obama administration in which a female member asks -- in the context of going against the pro-Wall Street think -- "Why do women always have the balls?" The women don't of course; or they would get all over us. We must learn to think about what might actually work in the abstract, first, boys -- then and only then worry about how to go about getting it.

Time -- or at least a place -- to switch "Great Wage Depression" for "inequality"
I finally came up with a justification -- in at least one segment of the labor market -- to switch in the words "Great Wage Depression" and switch out the wan, antiseptic word "inequality."
Much unemployment is due to Americans now willing to work for badly substandard wages -- especially for a minimum wage that is $3.25/hr below LBJ's 1968 minimum -- double the per capita income or productivity later!
Which super low minimum wage results in 100,000 out of 200,000 -- half! -- of Chicago's gang age minority males *working* for drug dealing street gangs (also results in schools not working because students wont make the effort when nothing reasonable is waiting for them in the labor market).
Progressive economists should research just how many Americans are unemployed because of super-low pay -- especially not for a minimum wage that would have to be *tripled* to catch up with a doubling of productivity over the last 45 years.

Israel: the North Korea and South Africa of the Middle East – and the world's worst counter-insurgency nightmare
Can't fault Jane Fonda or Walter Cronkite for not understanding the nature of the Vietnam War any better than General William Westmoreland. They mistook the conflict for WWI (one), a battle of attrition, when what was needed was an all-out counter-insurgency effort, securing the population from intimidation and seeing to its material welfare.
General Creighton Abrams-mode counter-insurgency could have pulled off victory had it been applied from the introduction of large scale American ground forces.
Post-Westmoreland late-launch might still have cut it without Jane and friends undermining public support. The caveat in either case was that Ho Chi Minh, the Genghis Kahn of Southeast Asia, may have been willing to kill half the population of Vietnam to get what he wanted, or then half of the half, until no one was left.
In Iraq, the same generals who performed remarkably doing what they were trained to do – brush aside Saddam's tank forces – likely instigated the initial insurgency (not the current sectarian violence) with their occupation – excepting some counter-insurgency learned types like General David Petraeus. Rousting families to round up suspects; collateral kills; patrolling intrusively by day, retreating to out of town forts by night all encourage more insurgents than they discourage.
In today's Iraq, [this section will be re-written when I finish Endgame.]
Our Afghanistan frustration: effective counter-insurgency measures take the form of mutual aid agreements with local regimes, which President Karzai and cohorts resolutely discourage, wanting no competition running -- and looting -- their country. We could be there forever.
However accurate historically these assessments may be, they show and tell counter-insurgency dos and don'ts.
Israel more like tries (and succeeds!) to instigate and exacerbate every genus and species of violent insurgency against itself -- and its supporters. America's next question ought to be: why go on supplying super-power succor for Israel's madcap lashing out at whole terrorist raising populations (e.g., 2006, Lebanon and Gaza) and for its, incomprehensible for a supposedly Western state, unabashed ethnic cleansing of its closest neighbors?
New York City is missing 3,000 people and its formerly two tallest skyscrapers over our support for the insurgency nightmare state. What's next?
Today's jihadists remind me a lot of 1960s Communists – with no spelled out plan of how to get from where they are to where they want to be; they just know they should fight, fight, fight. They run to any place there is some resistance provoking injustice (Chechnya?) to proselytize and convert the struggle into a religious fight – themselves having been started over some perceived social injustice – and so they breed.
The exception: the only purely religiously based motive for jihad I know of is Al-Qaeda's leadership's -- not its rank-and-file's -- who get more frenetic over American troops in Kuwait; Christian warriors in the holy land! -- than over Israel's depredations. Al-Qaeda has not attacked Israel.
Could Israel be pushed into the sea without America to prop it up? Eighth-grade tank math: it would take 9,000 NATO quality tanks and elite crews to successfully invade against Israel's 3,000 (2006 figure). 9,000 tanks were what NATO could have mobilized with the "Russians coming" in the middle of Europe in the middle of the 1980s. Egypt attacks? LOL. Syria, Jordan? ROFL.
Eighth-grade nuclear deterrence math: Israel will be acquiring its seventh and eighth second-strike submarines. Electric propulsion is quieter than nuclear because a reactor's cooling system can never be shut down. The German built subs can be modified to carry at least eight 1,000 mile range cruise missiles. The latest acquisitions recharge their batteries with fuel cells rather than diesel engines, potentially making them totally undetectable – even by us? Don't forget Israel's atomic artillery rounds, ICBMs and gravity bombs.
Israel's fetish with the West Bank settlements reminds me of the Irish Republican Army's fixation on the six northern counties. The IRA's caterwauling would make you think the fate of the Holy Roman Empire were in question. The total population of Ireland is about half that of the city I grew up in -- reducing the six counties in my sight to the "British quarters" – analogous to New York's Jewish or Italian or Irish neighborhoods. (If Ireland were not an island how would the IRA know those counties were "Irish"? :-])
Ditto for Israel's "Greater Neighborhoods" -- over the absorption of which these people seem willing to see launched the "War of the Western and Islamic Worlds." I have read that most people in Israel know someone who was killed by terror. They took 80% of Palestine in 1949 – is making that 85% really worth today's ton of troubles?
Israel considers itself so overpowering that it can forever get away free (with $200 billion of our help over 40 years) goading its little corner of the world into a seething sectarian cauldron. America should leave Israel at its word -- and get away free.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TetrahydrocannabinolThere are no FDA-approved medications that are smoked. For one thing, smoking is generally a poor way to deliver medicine. It is difficult to administer safe, regulated dosages of medicines in smoked form. Secondly, the harmful chemicals and carcinogens that are byproducts of smoking create entirely new health problems. There are four times the level of tar in a marijuana cigarette, for example, than in a tobacco cigarette
Morphine, for example, has proven to be a medically valuable drug, but the FDA does not endorse the smoking of opium or heroin. Instead, scientists have extracted active ingredients from opium, which are sold as pharmaceutical products like morphine, codeine, hydrocodone or oxycodone. In a similar vein, the FDA has not approved smoking marijuana for medicinal purposes, but has approved the active ingredient-THC-in the form of scientifically regulated Marinol.
The DEA helped facilitate the research on Marinol. The National Cancer Institute approached the DEA in the early 1980s regarding their study of THC's in relieving nausea and vomiting. As a result, the DEA facilitated the registration and provided regulatory support and guidance for the study.
The DEA recognizes the importance of listening to science. That's why the DEA has registered seven research initiatives to continue researching the effects of smoked marijuana as medicine. For example, under one program established by the State of California, researchers are studying the potential use of marijuana and its ingredients on conditions such as multiple sclerosis and pain. At this time, however, neither the medical community nor the scientific community has found sufficient data to conclude that smoked marijuana is the best approach to dealing with these important medical issues.
The most comprehensive, scientifically rigorous review of studies of smoked marijuana was conducted by the Institute of Medicine, an organization chartered by the National Academy of Sciences. In a report released in 1999, the Institute did not recommend the use of smoked marijuana, but did conclude that active ingredients in marijuana could be isolated and developed into a variety of pharmaceuticals, such as Marinol.
In the meantime, the DEA is working with pain management groups, such as Last Acts, to make sure that those who need access to safe, effective pain medication can get the best medication available.
Umm, the "other" compounds theymention in my referenced article are the toxic ones....THC is the main active psychoactive chemical in marijuana. I wan't referring to the other cannabinoids
Geez, even the government isn't saying no to THC, they have isolated the active ingredient, just like they have with morphine, and they are prepared to use it when it has been shown to work reliably. It's the smoking and the toxicity that's the problem!
AS for Rich's article not having any good points, then you certainly shouldn't have any problem disputing, point by point, his article.

Don's Bow Earrings - Wire Wrapped Stud Earrings
Monday, June 29, 2009
Louise and Don are very talented wire artists that I got to know from one of the jewelry forums that I joined. I feel very honored that they are interested with my Wire Wrapped Stud Earrings Tutorial :)
The amazing thing is Don came up with his own version of the stud earrings with the addition of "LITTLE BOWS". Very cute aren't they?! Louise said:
"You know Don, if he can tie a knot, he will"Louise and Don also write tutorials. I have both and they are both a hit!
If you have the time, do check them out at their website - Kingfisher Designs. Their tutorials are very well written, easy to understand and I can assure you that you will be able to create the projects taught with flying colors. Here are their tutorials:
Woven Wave Ring - Adjustable and versatile. Very popular! My version, quite a few of them and here are just some of them. Oh and here too.
Tucuman Bracelet - Very unique and one of a kind. My versions here and here.
I should revisit these two designs. Been a while.

The participants of the first "Training of Trainers on African FOSS Business Models" in West Africa (Abuja/Nigeria) have passed their final exam. They are now implementing "national roll-out plans" for follow-up trainings in Nigeria, Cameroon, Togo and Senegal.
Which local needs have to be addressed? Which market niches are there? How can the follow-up trainings be financed? These are the questions the 24 new trainers are now addressing.
Have the particpants' expectations been met? How do they feel about the two-week training in Abuja/Nigeria? Here are quotes from some participants themselves!
Mr Karim Sy, Chairman, Maarch West Africa SA, Senegal:
"This training goes beyond the philosophy of open source to show concretely how to stimulate innovation and entrepreneurship to create value with a community approach that meets our traditional African values. It's a new perspective for a sustainable development. I'm eager to launch the French version. It's a plus for our leaders, entrepreneurs and open source activists."
Mr Mathieu Hilaire Megoze, Lecturer, University of Douala and University of Buea, Cameroon:
"The training has brought facts about open source and entrepreneurship. These facts serve as a bridge for we Africans to enter into the digital society. It is a catalyst to create open source evangelists who help Africa accomplish its ICT policy and Innovation development at low costs, receive knowledge free of charge through open educational resource."
Dr Chris Prince Udochukwu Njoku, Senior Operations Manager, University of Nigeria:
"WAToT Abuja Nigeria was an innovative empowerment for entrepreneurship. Innovative in the sense that it was built on an information technology element very many people never thought could be of any business relevance. The delivery method and band of trainers were superlative. Indeed, the event adequately prepared us — both those who were new to open source concept and those who were familiar with it — to regularly organize Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) Business Models training and even to establish FOSS businesses at various levels towards application of FOSS as a key technology to drive innovation and add affordable ICT-solutions in universities and other educational institutions, government and non-government organizations, and private-sector companies. I was particularly taken to a next level of ICT knowledge and practice.
I owe GIZ and FOSSFA unfathomable gratitude. If they can work towards all countries of Africa benefiting from this ToT, it will be wonderful. OSFON's Dele Ajisomo and GIZ's George Nyambuya's organizational and managerial skills deserve special mention. The manner they attended to hitches that reared their heads on the first few days was an evidence of competence. I'm really impressed about the whole thing."
Mr Rising John Osazuwa, Senior Systems Analyst, Management Information System Unit, University of Ibadan, Nigeria:
"The catalytic and network effect of the Free and Open Source Solutions (FOSS) Africa Business Model capacity building programme are positively changing the ICT business and education landscape in Africa.
The knowledge, skills and experiences shared by participants during the Train the Trainers has greatly improved my skill set, confidence, perception, performance and contribution to national information system development.
The small training class size, well researched training materials, focused curriculum, participants enthusiasm, trainers experience and serene learning atmosphere were stimulants for series of interactive online and face-to-face sessions.
It is a veritable vehicle organizational and career transformation. I appreciate this divine opportunity to participate in the process of change of concept and business in deploying open source solutions.
Plans to organize Free and Open Source Solutions (FOSS) Africa Business Model national roll out in Nigeria and Republic of Benin are ongoing."
The ict@innovation team thanks the participants and the trainers – Mr Fred Yeboah, Mrs Shirley A. Baffoe, Mr Oyedele Ajisomo, Mr James Wire and Mr John Matogo – for making the first "Training of Trainers on African FOSS Business Models" a success!
The training material is currently being translated into French. The ict@innovation team is looking forward to sending out calls for participation for the first "Training of trainers on African FOSS Busi-ness Models" in French speaking Africa next year!
Stay tuned!

I have had a lot of chances lately to catch up on past projects that I have been wanting to do, however this slipped thru my fingers and I totally forgot to post about it!
I created this card right around New Year's and felt that I needed to do one last winter card before I jumped into Valentine's Day!
I broke into my miscellaneous stash of 6x6 pattern papers, trying to use them up, and created this super cute winter scene card! The stamp on this piece is from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps Candi Bean collection, "Let's Try Again."
I thought this little girl and her bear screamed to be copic colored! I added other touches such as cuts from a Lawn Fawn Tree die, CC Designs snowflake die, sequins from My Style Stamps and the smallest, most adorable snow flake wood veneers! Topped it off with some silver sparkle twine and that was it!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
This was post #3, so if you've missed the first two, please be sure to look back and take a look at another card project and a 12x12 layout!
Have a great weekend!

"For the most part, the process of insolvency is similar between England and Scotland, with finding a solution for companies with debts that they are unable to pay being the main goal. "
Business Rescue Expert
The insolvency process can be difficult to understand due to its complex nature. There are also regional differences to consider, and over the Scottish border, the practice regulations changed on the 6th of April 2019. Together with Business Rescue Expert we will look at the legality behind this process in both countries, identifying any key differences.
For the most part, the process of insolvency is similar between England and Scotland, with finding a solution for companies with debts that they are unable to pay being the main goal. The Insolvency Act 1986 remains the overarching legislative guide for the UK, but Scottish laws have notable differences, which were modernised in the latest legislation, known as the 2018 rules. The new rules are constituted by two parts in compliance with the devolution status of the Scottish parliament: The Insolvency (Scotland) (CVA and Administration) Rules 2018/1082 and The Insolvency (Scotland) (Receivership and Winding Up) Rules 2018 (a Scottish Statutory Instrument). The first makes provision for the reserved insolvency processes of Company Voluntary Arrangements (CVAs) and Administration, and the latter relates to the devolved process of receivership and the mixed-competence process of winding up, including MVL, CVL and court liquidation.
In line with the digital age, these laws have made the process much more modern and brought the legislation closer to existing ones in England and Wales. Elements such as decision-making have been brought up to date, with electronic communication named as the preferred method of contact in terms of seeking decisions from creditors. The new laws will remedy the administrative burden of physical meetings, simplifying dealings with multiple creditors and improving accessibility to the process. Documentation of the process has also been revised, with the abolition of statutory forms as a necessary part of proceedings. The matter of small debts has also been targeted, whereby an office-holder will be entitled to treat claims of £1,000 or less, and formal statements of claim are no longer necessary where this has been proved. These measures are the first large scale changes to the Scottish laws in over 30 years.
In addition to this new legislation , there are still some differences in the Scottish insolvency process. In Scotland there is no 'liquidator of last resort', a mandatory aspect of the English process.
The absence of any Official Receiver means that companies have no financial obligation to pay fees to the Insolvency Service, as the Scottish court appoints a nominated insolvency practitioner to act as an interim liquidator. In England, a civil servant from the Insolvency Service acts as the Official Receiver and is an officer of the court responsible for administering the initial phases of the process. Private insolvency practitioners are also available in England and Wales, but they must be appointed to act in any insolvency case.
Another key absence from Scottish law is the Law of Property Act (LPA) Receiver.
The only type of receivership in Scotland was outlined in the 1986 Act, named as the Administrative Receivership. The LPA functions to outline contractual obligations for a defaulting borrower, providing security for both parties even when the relationship can no longer produce definitive decisions. There is no distinction between a mortgage and a charge in Scotland, which eliminates the appointment of an LPA from practice.
Moreover, the Scottish insolvency process also follows differing jurisdictions which relate to creditor fees. The fees cannot be negotiated in advance with a creditor over the border, and they must be approved by the creditors committee or court reporter, who is generally another insolvency practitioner. Onerous property are also subject rules which deviate from English practice, as there are no existing statutory powers which deny onerous property of contracts during an insolvency case, listed in section 17/179 of the 1986 Act. The typical termination of a challenging contract isn't feasible in Scotland, and instead considerations must be made regarding the potentiality of damage claims which could be made as a result of the contract or property. The liquidator can determine whether they will carry out the contract after assessing these factors, and where the risk of compelling performance is minimal to the court, the solvent party must accept the decision to terminate the matter.
For any company seeking insolvency advice, being aware of these differences can prove invaluable. The process can be slowed down greatly where laws are misunderstood or breached, so taking the geography of your business into account is vital. If you need insolvency advice, it's a good idea to get in touch with a business that specialises in company administration to create a plan that is tailored to your companies specific requirements.

Steel Palisade Fencing
Palisade fencing is one of the most popular choices for premises requiring a higher level of security.
If your need for security is high, palisade fencing offers a level of security that will deter and protect your property, be it commercial or domestic. It is also ideal for using around restricted areas such as septic tanks or power blocks when in conjunction with a locking gate. In this respect it is ideal for domestic homes because it ensures your pets and child remain firmly outside the hazardous areas. It is also resistant to vandalism and does not deteriorate over time with a minimum of maintenance.
Perimeter security solutions are our speciality, and with the wide range of metal security fencing available, from palisade fencing to wire mesh, you're sure to find what you need. Metal security fencing will act as a deterrent and can be aesthetically pleasing; bow top railings for example are a popular addition to schools and playgrounds. For more information or advice regarding which fencing solution would be most suitable for your needs, you can call the friendly and knowledgeable team here at Harrow Fencing Supplies who will be happy to take your call. We cover Harrow, Hillingdon and London. Contact us today!

Stand Up & Be Strong! is co-sponsored by MNPTA and the Minnesota Department of Human Services
Stand Up & Be Strong! consists of an easy-to-replicate model for assessing the risk of falls in older adults. After participating in a 30-second screening test, elderly participants learn their risk of falling and leave with a few simple exercises that can easily be performed in their home or long-term care facility. These exercises help reduce their risk of falls by improving lower extremity strength. Most notably, Stand Up & Be Strong! uses a "train the trainer" model, which allows physical therapists to train other health care professionals and community members to assess falls risk in their own communities and facilities, rather than relying on health care providers to provide assessments.
