Grand Opening for the new auditorium – August 28, 2011
Cornerstone Baptist Church of Exeter Maine – June 14th, 2015
The History of Cornerstone
The original building of the CBC was built in 1855 as a Free Will Baptist Church. Through time and circumstances the building had become in disrepair and was no longer being used. In 1994 a group of 25 people felt called to re open the Church and Cornerstone was established. In 1995 a full foundation was put under the original building and new pews and a kitchen added. In 2000 the building was doubled in size and a 40 x 100 educational wing was added. In 2010 a 550 seat auditorium was built onto the existing facility with a 350 seat fellowship hall in the downstairs.
Exeter Baptist Church (now Cornerstone Baptist Church) was built in 1855.

Excited by its nimble platform, investors have flocked to start-up LiveDeal (LIVE) in droves, causing shares to more than double since the start of the year.
Of particular attraction is LiveDeal's ability to update instantly, as opposed to daily deals sites like Groupon (GRPN) that only update once a day. This allows restaurants the opportunity to modify, add, or eliminate deals instantly in immediate response to demand.
Stock Market Media Group initiated coverage on LiveDeal on Jan 10, assigning the company a rating of "strong buy" while effusively praising the company, saying "it should prove to be a home run." Stock Market Media's report contrasted LiveDeal with rival Groupon, asserting customers would be drawn to LiveDeal because they don't send "users… endless, irrelevant, untargeted emails" and don't make customers pre-pay for vouchers.
For its part, Stock Market Media Group are paid consultants, so their word should be taken with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, LiveDeal is indeed soaring, and the report certainly plays into the general bullish current investor sentiment on LiveDeal.
Groupon has long been vulnerable to a more nimble competitor. In 2012 the company finally shed its founder and former CEO, the much-maligned Andrew Mason who was called "the worst CEO" by CNBC. While that addition by subtraction did buoy Groupon, who saw shares skyrocket 120 percent in 2013, the company still languishes at half their early 2012 valuation, and suffers from increasingly mediocre projections.
LiveDeal currently only offers its services in San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, with business in all three markets greatly exceeding expectations. LiveDeal is expcted to move into other markets rapidly.
As a company, LiveDeal has an interesting history. Originating as a classifieds site in the aftermath of the tech bubble, LiveDeal skyrocketed to $400 a share in 2004 before crashing out, losing 99 percent of its value over the next five years. Yellow Pages acquired the company in 2007 for a scant $12 million.
Since languishing for years, the LiveDeal relaunch has energized investors. LiveDeal has gained 124.78 percent already on the year already to hit $9.11 a share.

August 23, 2019 August 29, 2019 Correspondence, To John Taylor - 23 Aug 1819 Leave a comment
Adam Cady
RE: Keats's 23 August 1819 letter to John Taylor
As I detailed in my earlier analysis of the 14 August letter to Benjamin Bailey, Keats was passionately committed to solitary self-reliance, vehemently independent, and he dreaded the notion of settling—sedentary dependence on the binding affection of others, or the fixed prudentiality of "domestic cares" (25 July, 1819, to Fanny Brawne). Nevertheless, as the "dog-cart" labors of Keats's diligent summer drew to a necessary close, so, too, did the poet's accounts grow dangerously barren, making his paramount ideal of unsettled life increasingly unfeasible. Embroiled in the economically debilitating ordeal of an aunt's "threatened chancery suit" (which promised to keep Keats's inheritance out of his reach even longer than feared), his financial circumstances were dire, and, in his 23 August letter to John Taylor, Keats embarrassedly remarks, "I have been rather unfortunate lately in money concerns." Thus, Keats was "forced by necessity" to rely on the goodwill and the sometimes questionable talents of his companions, as he begged for payment from Taylor and regrettably "engaged" with Brown in a Tragic collaboration. Amid financial desperation, the preferably unanchored and self-sufficient poet had no choice but to settle—and he did so in a spectacularly strange, domestic fashion, fraught with the humiliating echoes of traditional and repressive gender roles.
The first in a series of pitiful settlements, Keats's 23 August letter to Taylor is written—primarily—with the admittedly "harsh, distant & indelicate" intention of settling—at the very least, alleviating—the poet's worsening economic woes. Though he apologizes for the harshness of his "business manner of wording and proceeding," Keats's destitution was such that—beyond a mere "desire of order and regularity"—his very survival may have depended on this straightforward entreaty for funds. As their mutual companion Richard Woodhouse notes in his 31 August, 1819, letter to Taylor—who, alarmed by what he read in Keats's request, had forwarded it to this common friend—Keats was inadvisably generous with friends, prone to the careless granting of unaffordable loans: "I wish he [Keats] could be cured of the vice of lending—for in a poor man, it is a vice." Suddenly—excruciatingly—aware of this vice's debilitating repercussions, Keats writes to Taylor that, in the unanticipated absence of other funds, his livelihood is regrettably contingent on the swift delivery of new and generous advances: "…I relied a little on some of my debts being paid—which are of a tolerable amount—but I have not had one pound refunded." While understandable and fiscally responsible, Keats made such requests for repayment with problematic infrequency, and seems noticeably pained in his letter by the necessity of collection. His few, ineffectual appeals to outstanding debtors having failed, Keats—forced to settle and degradingly rely on the charitable impulses of his friend—now turned to Taylor for relief.
Still, no instance of Keats's forced settling is quite so debasing or awkward as the financially necessary professional and personal relationship which Keats shared with Charles Brown. As I described in my introduction to this project, as well as in my response to the 31 July letter, Keats and Brown were woefully imperfect, imbalanced partners; and while Keats's name now occupies a prime place amid the canonical catalog of English literary masters, the grave budgetary circumstances which motivated Otho the Great's conception and creation effectively reduced Keats to the cheaply artistic position of an overqualified stenographer or poetic translator. Yet beyond the embarrassing inadequacies of this mechanical writing process, further, more pressing disparities—namely, Brown's superior fortune—eventually left Keats the lesser, passive half of a bizarrely gendered dynamic: a strange kind of marriage which—in a predictably, though also ironically, heteronormative fashion—cast John Keats as the stereotypically subjugated bride and Charles Brown as his breadwinning groom.
With Otho's tragic verse as the eventual defective offspring of their painstaking labors, the pair worked in close collaboration through much of the summer of 1819—were indeed united in a secret engagement, as Keats remarks to John Taylor: "We have together been engaged (this I should wish to remain secret) in a Tragedy which I have just finish'd." Of course, both Keats and Brown were, around this time, additionally mired in the chaos of separate, secretive romances: Brown, with a possible clandestine marriage to his (perhaps illegitimately) impregnated Irish lover, Abigail O'Donohue, and Keats, with his disconcerting passions for Fanny Brawne. Nevertheless, the cozy cohabitation and single-minded laboring which birthed Otho constituted a similarly intimate (though noticeably less lustful) affair, especially given their couple-like conjoining of resources and sharing of financial burdens. It is difficult, then, even though the procession of romantic milestones is a little off (a proposal begins an engagement), to not read Keats's next statement as a confirmation of their union: "Being thus far connected, Brown proposed to me, to stand with me…" Keats himself may have been swept up by his own figuration: he initially, mistakenly, calls his offered "Bill" a "Bond," a financial and marital term.
Where Keats introduces the pretty concepts of proposal, bonds, and engagement, though, the marriage is really certified by Brown's contribution to the letter. In yet another act of collaboration, Brown, on the letter's doublings, finalizes and signs the contract. With no hemming, hawing, or "hammering" to be found, Brown's is the husband's contribution. His is the masculine, straightforward approach, and—all business—he is the one who knows that what he and Keats are creating is in fact a "Bill." (Given the fact that there are no other crossed out words in Keats's letter, one imagines that either Brown suggested the change after reading over what Keats wrote, or else that Keats recognized his error after having read Brown's "Bill." In either case, it was Brown who was in the know.) Acting, then, as a benevolent patriarch, Brown oversees the remedying of Keats's destitution and past "vices," and guarantees the soundness of Keats's bill by bestowing upon his friend/betrothed that most traditional of marital offerings: his name: "…Keats especially would be uncomfortable at borrowing unless he gave all [he] in his power; [&] besides his own name to a Bill he has none to offer but mine, which I readily agree to…. It is therefore to be considered as a matter of right on your part to demand my name in conju[n]ction with his." Brown's professionalism, however, is so front-facing—so over-emphasized—in the letter that he, too, is likely compensating for the strangeness of his implicitly gendered relationship with Keats. Most notably, right after stating that he will gladly add his name to any of Keats's bills, Brown is sure to parenthetically underscore that he is "speaking in a business-like way," perhaps registering some awareness of his gesture's romantically inflected nature.
Whether or not Keats's and Brown's suggestive use of matrimonial terminology was entirely conscious (perhaps even a shared running joke), the consistent tonal seriousness of the 23 August letter, paired with some crucial symbolic shifts near the close of Keats's contribution, suggests the genuine soberness with which Keats internalized his unwitting femininity. Although the letter begins as a businesslike request for payment, the repeated admittance of his pitiful economic state—his reliance on debtors and wifely ties to Brown—seems to weigh on Keats, who, in a presumably subconscious effort to compensate for his stereotypically ladylike condition, turns to more masculine symbols and subject matter. Even while inquiring after monetary scraps, Keats—sure of his own chameleonic literary skill—boastfully assures Taylor that, given certain artistic compromises, his writing could effortlessly charm the masses: "I feel every confidence that if I choose I may be a popular writer." Obstinate in his adherence to high-minded artistic standards, however, Keats would rather solicit his friend—pitifully—for the means of his survival—quite possibly, would rather starve—than capitulate to the whims of the reading public: "Who would wish to be among the commonplace crowd of the little-famous–who[m] are each individually lost in a throng made up of themselfes? is this worth louting or playing the hypocrite for? To beg suffrages for a seat on the benches of a myriad aristocracy in Letters?" Delivered with a flair of braggadocious machismo, Keats's hardline stance against so-called "popular writers" is particularly impactful here, given the poet's regular association of popular and female authors: "the drawling of the blue stocking literary world" (14 August, 1819, to Benjamin Bailey).
Though Keats certainly disliked and disrespected a number of more marketable men in his field, the poet's exceptional disdain for women contrasts sharply with his wifely relationship to, and financial dependence on, Brown—an emasculating predicament ineffectually offset by Keats's proclamation of faith in the romanticized manliness of solitude and pride: "…'How a solitary life engenders pride and egotism!' True: I know it does but this Pride and egotism will enable me to write finer things than any thing else could—so I will indulge it." Moreover, amid all this theoretically redeeming bravado, Keats not-so-subtly compensates by injecting his letter with a thoroughly masculine and militaristic metaphor: "Just so much as I am hu[m]bled by the genius above my grasp, am I exalted and look with hate and contempt upon the literary world—A Drummer boy who holds out his hand to a field marshall—that Drummer boy with me is the good word and favour of the public."
Yet in spite of all his blustering chauvinism—despite presenting himself as the illustrious and dignified "field marshall"—Keats, in the context of Brown's own words, still resembles that unremarkable, unknown, and powerless "Drummer boy," if not some soldier's downtrodden wife. A visible instance of collaboration reminiscent of a co-written passage in the 31 July letter to C.W. Dilke, Brown actually writes his clarifying note to Taylor—his 23 August letter—on a portion of Keats's entreaty for payment. Whereas, in the 31 July letter, Keats is driven to reclaim "possession" of his correspondence, now Brown's intrusive manner of writing goes virtually unchecked by the now-destitute and dominated poet. Keats's postscript serves mainly to confirm what Brown has written, though it also exceeds such propriety, concluding with Keats's endeavor to uphold his reputation as unsettled. In reality, Keats asserts, he is a fickle companion: "Had I to borrow money from Brown and were in your house, I should request the use of your name in the same manner."
With such weirdness permeating both Keats's and Brown's respective sections of the letter, it should come as no surprise that its initial recipient found the correspondence somewhat troubling. Having been forwarded the letter, Woodhouse, in his 31 August reply to Taylor, attempts "with [his] usual disposition to understand" the complex and irregular "terms" in Keats's distracted request. Still, neither Woodhouse nor Taylor seems especially concerned with the secret and strictly gendered relationship in which their friends are evidently engaged. Whether they—somehow—failed to notice the peculiar couple's pseudo-marital dynamic, or whether the issue was simply too bizarre—too taboo—to even address, is unclear, but Woodhouse's letter dwells primarily on what likely was Taylor's main concern: the tangentially related issue of Keats's pride. Whereas Taylor, in his prior letter to Woodhouse, apparently expressed his discomfort with the young poet's self-described and flaunted "Pride," Woodhouse is generally unconcerned by Keats's youthful (and deserved) cockiness, confident in Keats's personal integrity, as well as his poetic prowess. For Woodhouse, Keats is describing "literary Pride,—that disposition which arises out of a Consciousness of superior & improving poetical Powers." Offering to "spare £50" to aid in Taylor's loan to Keats, Woodhouse is evidently willing to overlook—in fact, he aims, as much as possible, to sever, to cure—those temporary bonds and compensating sensations of Pride which accompany a symbolic marriage or financial desperation; prescient, observant, he recognizes the ability of Keats, under more favorable economic circumstances, to join the ranks of history's greatest writers—to remain unsettled, ethereal, free: "Whatever people [say they] regret that they could not do for Shakespeare or Chatterton, because he did not live in their time, that I would embody into a Rational principle, and (with due regard to certain expediencies) do for Keats."

Ever wonder what your character was doing before he or she joined the Academy? Now you can find out and enjoy the benefits of past experience!
Some of these professions only apply to former Once Born, ignore them if your character grew up in the Liberated Land. A former profession can add to the "depth" of the character and can help in some game-play circumstances. The Adventure Master can assign a former profession to a character, allow the player to choose one, or roll a d100 to decide. Titles in ( ) are alternate names and titles following / are either specialties or related professions. Choose one of the titles in the grouping, for example, "Baker/Cook" – choosing "Baker" would make the character a more specialized "Cook". The LightRaider character would receive a Skill Level=5 in this profession, and may be practicing it between raids. Thanks to Andy Bartmess for the original idea.

Sikh riot case: Kamal Nath a busy man, can't attend US court
I P SinghI P Singh, TNN | Jul 1, 2011, 12.30pm IST
JALANDHAR: Union minister Kamal Nath has filed an affidavit through his attorneys in a US federal court denying he ever received summons during his US visit in April 2010. The case was filed against him for his alleged involvement in 1984 anti-Sikh massacre.
He claimed diplomatic immunity as he visited US as an official of government of India and was on a special mission in the US while challenging the locus-standi of the complainants in his affidavit filed on June 24. The complaint against him was filed by Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), a US based human rights group along with several Sikh individuals who witnessed and survived attacks in November 1984. Summons for Kamal Nath were issued by Judge Robert W. Sweet of the US federal court for the southern district of New York.
He requested to dismiss the lawsuit against him while claiming that his job required him to be present in India. "As a government official with domestic duties and responsibilities, my presence in India is essential and necessary," his affidavit reads. "It will seriously impede my ability to carry out my official duties if I am required to spend significant periods of time in New York to defend myself in the lawsuit," he contended.
In his affidavit, Nath has claimed that though he did make a trip to 3 East 64th Street, New York (consulate of India) on April 6, 2010 but none served summons and complaint as alleged (in the affidavit of service of Yoselin Genao filed on August 5, 2010 in the court).
However, legal advisor of Sikhs For Justice, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, in a statement from US said that Nath's affidavit 'clearly and blatantly contradicts his earlier statements'. He said that on April 06, 2010, Nath publically acknowledged receiving the summons and media widely reported him saying "a piece of paper was given to me. I will have to see what the piece of paper is all about, I really have no clue about it, I don't have a basis and I don't know the authenticity, I don't know the validity. It was for the first time that I saw it."
Kamal Nath's response on April 6, 2010 acknowledging the receipt of summons was widely reported and broadcast in the media, Pannun said. He said that the plaintiffs would present to the court, newspaper reports, videos footage and witnesses affirming Nath's acknowledgement of receipt of summons on April 6, 2010.
Meanwhile, in his affidavit, Nath has denied any role in attack and killing of Sikhs at Gurudwara Rakab Ganj on November 1, 1984 as is being alleged against him.
He revealed that to prove Nath's role in leading the mob that killed Sikhs at Gurudwara Rakab Ganj they would ask the US court to subpoena Mukhtiar Singh and Sanjay Suri as witnesses who had earlier given affidavits against him before the Nanavati Commission in India.
The class action lawsuit (SFJ v/s Nath SDNY (10 CV 2940) was filed under Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA) and Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA).

Dear Mr. Kamal Nath:
As a private citizen with domestic duties and responsibilities, my attempt to get justice for my family and the thousands of other Sikhs slaughtered in 1984 is essential and necessary. It has seriously impeded my ability to carry on with my life since I have been required to spend significant periods of time trying to bring *******s like you to justice.

Wave House: The Sculptural Brazilian Beach House with a Billowing Wooden Roof
Rio de Janeiro is a lively, bustling, crowded city with incredible views of Guanabara Bay and lush, tree-covered hills all around. Plots of land in desirable locations, like banks above the beaches, are hard to come by here. If you do manage to snag a prime location, you're richly rewarded.
A family looking for a luxurious contemporary beach house did just that, but the building site was incredibly narrow. They turned to Brazilian firm Mareines Arquitetura to find a creative solution that would satisfy all their desires, and then some. What the firm produced is truly spectacular: a sculptural residence they call "Wave House."
Set on a "granite monolith" between the busy neighborhoods of São Conrado and Barra da Tijuca, the home is built to the very edges of the plot, getting what might be a little uncomfortably close for the neighbors on either side. The architects focused the bulk of their attention on the back end of the house, which faces the water. And as you can see, a big part of their vision includes one of the most unusual roof designs we've ever seen.
There are virtually no straight lines to be found on this roof. It's as if the architects took an ordinary roof, sliced it up into long ribbons, and re-assembled it in a slightly messy way, with some pieces twisting slightly to the side, curling on the ends, or billowing up like fabric sails. The textile-like quality is intentional, as Mareines Arquitetura wanted the home to feel a bit like a ship.
The firm adds that "there are no traces of land to either sides of the house. Just the sky, the sea, and waves splashing against the rocks beneath. An undulating roof evokes the marine movement and creates operable glass openings that will control the admittance of light and air through automation. Different wind directions, sun angles, and temperatures will determine necessary adjustments to guarantee thermal comfort in a passive way."
"The inspiration: it is like the house was a ship seeking for the horizon line. And these waves were the inspiration to the undulating design for the roof that protects the house from Rio's inclement sun. The plot where we should design the house has [the] exceptional quality of facing the ocean in the middle of Rio de Janeiro. More precisely 180 feet above sea level, over a steep granite monolith that faces south. This orientation only provides views towards the sea."
Inside, four stepped levels interact with each other through open spaces that stretch the full height of the home, glass safety railings, and floating staircases, all the better to see out through zig-zagging panels of glass that open to the yard in nice weather. The unconventional shape of the roof defines the interiors as well, acting like an oversized sculptural element overhead.
The access floor contains the kitchen, service areas, dining and living rooms, with guest bedrooms, a TV room, and employees' bedrooms located just above. The open-plan living space spills out into a grassy terrace adjacent to a curved infinity pool that visually blends into the bay. On the lowest level, beneath the pool, are three private suites facing the ocean, as well as a library, kids' room, and family room.


Jeff's wonderful cousins had a baby on Thursday afternoon, a perfect little prince named Scott! They already have a 3 year old son named Jackson who is one of the sweetest monkeys ever, so we were really excited to hear of the safe arrival of baby #2! I know I was particularly grateful for all gifts of food when Finn was first born, so I was so excited to be able to make them a little 'Welcome to the world, Scott' love meal to take over to their house in hopes of easing some of the stress and exhaustion those first few weeks can bring. I decided to tackle two of my favorite soups- Potato Cheese Chowder, and African Yam & Peanut (an adaptation on a soup my dear friend Stephanie made us for dinner recently.) I also have become obsessed with making bread since the start of the new year, so I was thrilled to be able to bake up a few loaves of my current favourite, french bread (especially because we were able to keep a loaf for us to nibble on!) I also made some mini chocolate chip cookies from a cookie recipe book sweetly inscribed by Jeff's Mom on his 20th birthday. Coincidentally, tomorrow is Jeff's 26th birthday, so the timing was perfect in bringing back some special memories for him.
In a heavy soup pot, add potatoes, onions and enough water to just cover them. Add a generous amount of salt and pepper.
Remove from heat and stir in cheese and add salt and pepper to taste.
We have added chopped carrots, a can of corn and other random veggies to this soup to mix it up a but and it has always been awesome. I have also thought it would be really yummy topped with fresh thick cut bacon, but being that we have a (mostly) vegetarian kitchen, I have never got around to trying it. Reminds me of potato skins.
In a soup pot, melt coconut oil. Add onions, garlic and jalapeno and saute until onions are translucent.
Add in spices (coriander, cumin, cinnamon, pepper flakes) and brown sugar, and stir to coat the onion mixture and release all the yummy aromatics!
Add cubed yams and veggie broth to the pot. Bring to boil, cover and simmer until yams are fully cooked.
Add coconut milk and peanut butter- stir and continue to heat until peanut butter is well melted and all is nicely mixed.
Both these soups will keep in the fridge for upwards of a week and freeze really well for much longer!
You are truly amazing my sweet Jess!!! This looks so wonderful! You are one of the most thoughtful & caring people I know.
SO CUTE! I love this. and I love you!

ANGELS NOTES: Kazmir's return tentatively scheduled for April 15 in New York
PUBLISHED: April 5, 2010 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: September 1, 2017 at 5:54 am
ANAHEIM – Scott Kazmir reported no ill effects Monday from a minor-league outing and his return to the rotation is tentatively scheduled for April 15 at Yankee Stadium.
The left-hander opened the season on the disabled list because of a strained right hamstring. He also had shoulder soreness that emerged as he favored the hamstring injury.
On Sunday in Arizona, Kazmir faced the Cubs' Triple-A team and threw 77 pitches in seven innings, adding 11 more in the bullpen after he was removed from the game.
"Guys were swinging; they were ready to get out of (Arizona)," Kazmir said. "It actually gave me a chance to work on my other pitches besides my fastball. They were definitely sitting on the first pitch, so with the changeup slider, it ended up being a pretty efficient day."
Kazmir's next outing is scheduled for Friday at Single-A Rancho Cucamonga.
Given a choice, Kazmir would have preferred to open the season on the major-league roster, but manager Mike Scioscia wanted his pitcher to get in more pitches before facing major-league competition.
"We just told him we will take it slower and give him a couple of extra workouts," Scioscia said. "At first he thought he had a chance to be ready for the season but it just didn't make any sense for us to push him. We had that luxury of having him miss one start and have him be there for the whole season."
Matt Palmer will take Kazmir's spot in the rotation this week, pitching Friday's game against Oakland.
Angels broadcaster Terry Smith said he was having mixed emotions on Opening Day, the first regular-season game he worked without longtime partner Rory Markas.
Markas died Jan. 4 of a heart attack at his Palmdale home.
"I miss him and I can't say there has been a day that I have woken up where I haven't thought about the guy," said Smith, who worked eight seasons with Markas. "Somebody told me you don't know how good you have it until you don't have it anymore. I'm finding that out right now."
Smith, who called all nine innings of Monday's game on the radio, said he plans to go silent after the Angels wrap up their first victory of the season. At that point, a recording of Markas' signature call, "Just another Halo victory," will be played.
Jeff Mathis was named the catcher in the opener ahead of close friend Mike Napoli as the Angels prioritized defense over power potential.
Scioscia also made it sound as if Mathis will catch the bulk of the games in the opening seven-game homestand. Napoli will catch at least one game in the four-game series against the Twins.
"With what Jeff is doing on the defensive end, it's a great presence to have back there early in the season," Scioscia said.
Napoli, Torii Hunter, Kendry Morales, Bobby Abreu and Brian Fuentes helped general manager Tony Reagins raise the Angels' 2009 AL West championship flag during a pregame ceremony.

Introductory Meeting – Your relationship with your coach is a very personal experience and it's critical that you and your coach are compatible. To ensure the best match to your needs you are paired with the right coach. We meet with you to assess your needs and make recommendations for a coaching program. There is no one best type of coaching program – it is entirely an individual experience.
All our clients are offered this first introductory meeting at no charge, so we can determine if the chemistry is there. From there we can set up a schedule of when and how often you'd like to be coached. This meeting is best face-to-face. Regular coaching sessions may be either in person or over the phone.
Clarify and Understand Your Perspective – To ensure you maximize the coaching experience from the very first session, you will be asked to complete some homework. This is a fairly straight-forward set of questions for you to consider your goals and aspirations and also understand what you are currently tolerating and would like to change.
Discovery Session – The first session with your coach is typically a little longer than the other sessions and forms the foundation for future sessions. The conversation will include setting goals and expectations and depending on your needs may include an optional assessment tool to increase personal awareness.
Regular Coaching Sessions – Coaching sessions are set at regular intervals to ensure your progress and to keep you accountable to your goals. Through the process you'll understand your values and motivation and learn to leverage your strengths. Part of working with a coach is that a lot will be asked of you. Not too much, but certainly more than you may have been asked recently. You need to be willing to experiment with fresh approaches and be open to redesigning the parts of your life that you are able to right now. This will help you more easily reach your goals and live an integrated and fulfilled personal and professional life, using the gifts you have and enjoying life as it was meant to be enjoyed.
Please be willing to: change your behaviour; examine the assumptions and decisions you've made; experiment and try new things; start telling what's really true, regardless of the consequences; remove all sources of stress; eradicate all triggers of adrenaline; redesign how you spend your time; get the support you need to handle a problem; set goals that are much bigger than before; raise your personal standards to be very, very high; start treating people much better and stop tolerating or suffering in your life.
Field Work – As part of staying accountable and keeping the process moving in between sessions you can expect to have homework. This homework should not be seen as redundant or make-work, but as an opportunity to reflect, learn more about yourself, try new approaches in a safe environment or simply to take action. All homework is structured to enhance your experience.
Optional Tools – We use assessments in the coaching process only where we feel that they will add value as a tool in the coaching relationship. Assessments are only tools and we only use them where they provide value. We use both customized assessment tools and externally provided tools like Insights Discovery personality profile.
Getting Started – Getting started with coaching is simple. Call Matthew at 403-671-3253 or email him at matthew@pagehanify.com. We'll start with a conversation about where you're headed, what your goals are and what you think is holding you back.
Most clients prefer to start with a six month contract. A minimum contract time-frame of three months ensures we have enough time to see solid results.
In sport we know that coaches are prevalent, and it used to be only for team sports. Now individual athletes have their own coaches, to help them reach greater heights. In the same way a business coach or life coach can help you squeeze the most out of your life. Coaching is available in Calgary!
Matthew is both a coach and trainer specializing in with small to medium sized businesses to create systems that work: a leadership system and a selling system to fully maximize the opportunities inherent with your company.
Have you taken training and then found three weeks later you've forgotten everything?
As a father of three, Matthew appreciates the challenges that take place when new skills and processes are being learned and adopted. Matthew's approach is to help you create awareness of opportunities, give you the tools to make a positive change and then coach you on using them. Tools without practice and refinement are almost useless.
Matthew's coaching will ensure the new skills stick and become part of your core competencies!

BL Associates has been providing firefighter competency screening services to Canadian municipalities since 1984. Our screening services involve large group assessments of up to 150 candidates per session. Assessments are done onsite at a firehall or at a testing hall. Candidates are given the same set of psychometric tests at the same time in controlled conditions. Testing sessions typically last 3-4 hours and are administered under the supervision of a Corporate Psychologist.
Candidates are tested in three areas of competence: intellect; character; interests. The competencies were identified as critical for firefighter performance through the most in-depth analysis ever conducted of the firefighter role and have been updated over time to reflect technological changes in the role and customized to meet the demands placed on firefighters by specific fire departments.
Candidates' are evaluated against a large database of Canadian firefighter applicants as well as applicants in the same competition. Results include a final score for each candidate that ranks their overall suitability for the role and how they compare against their testing cohort on each competency assessed. Intellectual scores index a candidate's learning and problem-solving strengths as they relate to firefighting. Research has shown that firefighters need four intellectual strengths to perform effectively: verbal; mathematical; reasoning; mechanical.
Character scores index a candidate's personal and interpersonal strengths as they relate to firefighting. Research has shown that firefighters need nine dispositions to perform effectively: responsibility; teamwork; desire to learn; getting along with others; stress resistance; courage; activity; cleanliness; socialization.
Interest scores index a candidate's work interests as they relate to firefighting.
Special indicators can be added to candidates' profile results; emotional resilience and counterproductive workplace behaviour indicators are commonly added.
If you are interested in setting up a group assessment for potential firefighters please call us for further information. If you are an applicant wishing further information, please click here.

Psychology Says » Neurosciences
The weight of the soul, or the 21 gram experience
For centuries, Western culture has housed, among its repertoire of ideas and beliefs about the afterlife, the case where the essence of human beings is in an immaterial substance which we usually call soul.
Soul is a concept as mysterious as it is imprecise and confusing, and that is why it is so despised by science, which is responsible for describing nature from small observations and cautious assumptions, as used by religions. , that in a very ambitious way. to the great mysteries which, from an immaterial world, seem to guide the order of the cosmos.
The soul, a contested concept
How was the 21 gram experiment performed?
Does that sound reasonable to you?
An experience mediated by irrational beliefs
The answer is no
The soul does not weigh 21 grams
After death, what do we have left?
However, at the beginning of the 20th century, a physician named Duncan MacDougall set out to break this logic in the search for evidence of the existence of the incorporeal essence of human beings in a simple experiment based on the use of scales. The idea that this seeker started from was that if the soul left some kind of imprint on the body that had sheltered it, it had to be at the time of death, i.e. when it leaves the body to move to another plane of reality. Therefore, he argued that the death of people meant not only the disappearance of voluntary movements and the cessation of mental activity, but also had an impact on body weight.
A body that lacked the essence that defined it as a human thing, with intentions and a will: the soul.
MacDougall wanted to weigh the soul, compress millennia of statements about the afterlife into the quiet movement of a needle. This is what led him to assert that the physical embodiment of soul existence could be found within, plus or minus, 21 grams of difference.
Duncan MacDougall wanted to collect his evidence on the existence of the human soul by using as an instrument a complex system of scales incorporated in a kind of bed. He thus convinced six people who were dying to spend their last hours in this type of structure, which this allowed him to record the weight of their bodies from a few hours before their death until just after.
From these results, MacDougall concluded that the soul weighs approximately 21 grams, which is the variation he was able to observe through his research. This statement had a huge impact on the press, which across the New York Times echoed the news even before a version of it appeared in academic journals. Thus, the idea that the soul can weigh around 21 grams is strongly rooted in popular culture, which explains that references to this experience appear in musical pieces, novels and films, Being the most notorious 21 grams of director Alejandro González Iñárritu.
While it is true that the New York Times article on Duncan MacDougall and the Weight of the Soul had a lot of repercussions, it is also true that it was not received unanimously. The scientific community at the time was already very suspicious of experimental forays into the realm of the supernatural, and the 21 gram experiment was based on ideas that directly attacked the principle of parsimony, used in science to emphasize that from explanations to an objective fact they must be as simple as possible. That is why the results obtained by this doctor divided the audience into two polarized postures.
To reinforce their results, MacDougall performed a variation of the experiment using dogs, to conclude that there was no change in the weight of these animals before and after death, which would indicate that some religious beliefs d nonhuman animals have no soul. As expected, it did nothing more than add firewood to the fire.
MacDougall hoped to take advantage of (then) recent technological advances and the refinement of the scientific method to access a type of knowledge which, for millennia, was inaccessible to mankind, but which is tied to a plane of existence associated with l eternal, the essence of human beings and, in general, of the entities that inhabit that which is beyond the realm of the physical. Given that, no wonder the conclusions he reached are so inflammatory.
On the one hand, the experience of 21 grams talks about dogmas, questions of faith, the essence of what is human and certain elements related to the realm of the sacred. On the other hand, it seemed to be an instrument to blur the boundaries of what can and should be studied scientifically. The mere fact that MacDougall wanted to investigate the soul by the scientific method was a provocation, and many researchers were quick to point out a large number of methodological flaws in the procedures followed by Duncan.
However, beyond taking into account the many errors that were made during the experiments, other fundamental philosophical questions remained: is not learning the intangible world and the mystery the most common type of knowledge? more ambitious possible? Does not the fact that the nature of the human soul has been discussed for millennia not make this question a particularly interesting subject for the scientific community?
In retrospect, and from what is known from the experiments conducted by Duncan MacDougall, it is clear that the large number of methodological flaws we can't even take seriously the claim that bodies lose around 21 grams when they die. However, it is not these errors that make these surveys a historical curiosity, but the objectives they were aimed at.
To explain a process linked to the physical world, we cannot appeal to the intangible world but look for the answers in the nature that surrounds us.
This is what Dr Augustus P. Clarke, for example, did he linked weight loss to increased sweating right after death, In turn due to the general warming of the body by not functioning the organs responsible for ventilation, namely the lungs. In turn, Clarke noted the fact that dogs don't have sweat glands scattered all over the body, which would explain why there was no change in weight after they died.
Of course, the very definition of the concept of soul is very plural, conflicting and closes many contradictions (how can something incorporate living in the body of living beings?). However, what makes its study not a scientific task is the fact that when we speak of the soul we are talking about something that has no physical entity and therefore it cannot be measured or changed by what is happening to the body.
If we assume that an extraordinary statement is to be backed by equally extraordinary evidence, we will see that there is a clear leap of faith that ranges from discovering a shift in weight to the idea that it is due to the causes the soul to leave the body. In fact, in the case of concluding that the 21 grams serves as proof that there is a supernatural entity that inhabits people, rather than offering an explanation for the observed fact, we will do the exact opposite: create a practically infinite number. of questions that cannot be answered from additional empirical evidence.
The 21 gram difference recorded by Duncan MacDougall was to be much more than a justification for what led to the experiment (detecting a change in weight before and after death) but it was raised as a window to the afterlife. The hypothesis to be tested could only be based on a system of religious beliefs accumulated over the centuries, and it lost all meaning to be separated from it and placed under the magnifying glass of the scientific method.
However, while it is true that the 21 gram experiment has no scientific value, it has shown a extraordinary robustness to survive in the collective imagination of society. This is probably due to the fact that the beliefs about the soul that MacDougall had a hundred years ago are still very much in force today.
NOTOur cultural background prompts us to pay more attention to a seemingly scientific article that confirms our beliefs. this in a 200-page book written decades ago that explains why science only deals with material-based processes. The scientific mindset may have many tools to perpetuate itself, but it is still not as alluring as some ideas about the afterlife.

Home » dress code » featured » interview » job » tips » Dress code for interview in India – How to dress in formals.
There is no need to say how important it is to make a good first impression on the interviewers, and the extent to which our dress code is going to affect it. If you are preparing for your placements and arrived here to read this article, then you already understand the importance of a proper dress code in the corporate world.
In India, women are often confused when it comes to dressing for an interview. The reason is they could not decide whether to opt for the western outfits or the traditional Indian formals. And since most of the companies hiring in India allow both of them. So it is suggested to choose that style of dressing, in which you feel comfortable.
If you go for Indian formals, use plain cotton sarees or Salwar Kameez with plain dupatta. Avoid low-cut necklines. Prefer light pastel shades. Don't use very colourful clothes.
When choosing western formals, use plain light coloured blouse with formal trouser or skirt of conservative length, up to the knee. Prefer dark shades for the trouser. In winters, a blazer or conservative suit can be used.
Avoid too much make-up and use simple jewellery.
Use low heels so that you feel comfortable.
Men can wear plain light coloured formal shirt and a tie. Trouser should be plain and of dark shade. In winters, wear a conservative suit or blazer of solid (e.g. black/navy) colour.
The tie should be simple, conservative and not too flashy. It should match the colour of shirt or suit.
Shirt should be tucked-in, and shoes should be well polished.
Hair should be neat and clean.
Get your clothes cleaned and ready a day before the interview.
Before going for an interview, ensure that you have all the required clothes.
The nails and teeth should be neat and clean.
Hair should not be too long.
Take care of your body-odour. Use a deodorant after taking bath.
Never wear sneakers, noisy shoes, or very high heels for an interview.
Never bring chewing-gum, coffee, soda, ipod etc. to the interview.
Wear a smile on the face.
Excellent article..... very useful information given here!
I noticed that sometimes it happens difficult to decide perfect formal dress for interview or for joining day in any corporate office. Specially when somebody is used to dress up as per his/her Zodiac sign or any other specific reason/superstition and in that case it seems more tough to end with selection... Yeah!...good to have Flipkart and other online stores like Jabong.com, www.Yebhi.com, http://www.efello.com where girls/boys can find variety in formal dresses as per their taste.

Tenants' religious rights violated by Brampton landlord who refused to remove shoes
By Nicholas KeungImmigration reporter
Tue., May 2, 2017timer4 min. read
updateArticle was updated May. 03, 2017
The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario has awarded $12,000 to a Muslim couple, who claimed their landlord failed to accommodate their prayer times and notify the wife when she was home alone before bringing in prospective new tenants for apartment viewings.
"The respondent discriminated against the applicants by failing to accommodate their religious practices relating to prayer times by providing advance notice shortly before showing the apartment," tribunal panel vice-chair Jo-Anne Pickel wrote in a recent 38-page decision.
"He also failed to accommodate their religious practices by refusing to remove his shoes when entering their apartment and especially their prayer space. Finally, he also harassed them, at least in part, because of their religiously-based accommodation requests."
The decision is believed to be the first of its kind from the tribunal with respect to discrimination based on creed and housing.
The overall intake of human rights cases based on creed has been on the rise, up by 13 per cent to 837 last year compared to 741 in 2015. During the same period the number of inquiries specifically about Muslim identity went up by 39 per cent to 196 cases from 141, said the Human Rights Legal Support Centre.
Pickel rejected the landlord's argument that the tenants were attempting to "impose their way of life" on others, ruling that there's no evidence to support the claim.
"This claim by the respondent echoes arguments that have become common within public discourse. Unfortunately, attempts by Muslims to practice their faith have increasingly been interpreted as an attempt to impose their way of life on others," wrote Pickel.
"Far from seeking to impose their way of life on anyone, the applicants were merely making simple requests for the accommodation of their religious practices."
According to the tribunal, Walid Madkour and Heba Ismail, who immigrated to Canada from Egypt, moved into their Brampton apartment in December 2014 and agreed a month later to move out of the unit by Feb. 28, 2015 due to issues with the temperature of the apartment, the use of the internet and the request for a quiet environment at night.
The human rights complaint was based on the events and correspondence between the couple and the landlord when the landlord started planning viewings of the apartment to prospective tenants in late February 2015.
Despite repeated requests by Madkour for an additional five-minute warning so his wife had time to put on modest attire before the viewings, the landlord John Alabi — a Christian, according to the ruling — would only provide blocks of time that prospective tenants would be coming, with 24 hours' notice.
The tribunal found Alabi discriminated against the couple when he failed to comply with their request that he remove his shoes when he entered their apartment and especially when he entered the prayer space in the bedroom, which must be kept "free of any contamination, including any discharge from humans or animals."
Although the landlord insisted he was wearing indoor shoes and that he had removed rubber coverings on the shoes when he entered the couple's apartment, that was disputed by the couple, who videotaped Alabi during one of the viewings.
On the video, the tribunal said, Ismail could be heard telling Alabi he should remove his shoes as she and her husband prayed in the bedroom, adding that it was disrespectful and an act of racism not to do so. However, the respondent could be seen wearing shoes on the video whereas the prospective tenant was in socks, noted the tribunal.
"The respondent's refusal to remove the shoes when walking into the applicants' prayer space represented vexatious conduct linked to the applicants' religion that was known to be unwelcome," said the tribunal.
"There is no doubt that the respondent knew that the conduct was unwelcome as the applicants told him so a number of times."
Peta-Gaye Drummond, Alabi's counsel, said her client was disappointed at the tribunal decision, feeling it was unjust.
"He has maintained that the accusations against him arise out of misunderstanding. In his 15 years as a landlord, he has rented to so many people from different ethnic origins and has not had this kind of dispute being labelled a discriminator," she said. "He was sympathetic to the tenants, but maintains his innocence."
Drummond said her client is considering filing a request for reconsideration to the tribunal, which must be submitted in 30 days.
In an interview, Madkour said he and his wife never intended to create trouble or inconvenience, and are relieved the case is over.
"I feel the page is closed. It was a painful experience for my wife. We just wanted to forget about the case and move on," said Madkour, who along with his wife has since moved to a different city.
"We are happy with the tribunal decision because it proved that if you are genuine, you get your rights. We didn't do anything wrong. Being different is nothing to be ashamed of."
Ismail, who immigrated to Canada in 2012, said she and her husband had not experienced discrimination and racism in the country.
"It was not about money," she said. "We don't want anyone in the future to have the same experience. No one should be able to get away with it."
Alabi has also been ordered to take the Ontario Rights Commission's online courses, "Human Rights in Rental Housing" and "Policy on Human Rights and Rental Housing," within 30 days.

Kasprowy Wierch (; Slovak; Kasprov vrch; sometimes in Kasper Peak) is a peak of a long crest (ridgeline) in the Western Tatras one of Poland's main winter ski areas. Its dominant southern crests, WSW and ESE, mark the border with Slovakia. It is accessible in most conditions by foot and daily by cablecar.

History

From 1910 onwards Kasprowy Wierch became very popular among ski tourists so much so an aerial tramway or téléphérique, reaching almost to the summit, was built between 1935 and 1936 as such it is one of the oldest in Europe. As part of its modernization, the cabin aerial ropeway was closed for a period until December 2007. In 1938 meteorological and astronomical observatories were built here. One of the faint Kordylewski clouds, at or circling the L4 and L5 Lagrange points of the moon, was first photographed here by Kazimierz Kordylewski in 1961.

Geography
The mountain is at the crossroads of four crests, two of which coincide with footpaths, incorporating steps, bounding Poland and Slovakia and in times without snow the steep paths heading into both countries south and north are quite easily traversable. The slight apex of the four steep crests (peak itself) is just north of the border, which is deemed to be a straight line relative to the two dominant ridges.

Crossing the border between Poland and Slovakia is not restricted, since both countries are members of the Schengen area. Users of the cable car change cars midway in their ascent/descent, at mount Myślenicke Turnie. At the top station is a large restaurant/café/information office building with further ski lifts outside.

The mountain is very popular among hikers from Poland, because of its easy accessibility, both on foot and by the cable car. However, it's much less visited from the Slovak side, because the ascent from the nearest settlement in Slovakia involves a lengthy (17 km) approach up a remote valley Tichá dolina.

Climate
Without the existence of a summer, the climate is of tundra (Köppen: ET), as found in the highest areas of the Alps.

Cable cars and chairlifts
The cable cars are extremely popular and tourists regularly have to wait up to 3 hours to buy tickets – roughly the same time it would take to ascend the mountain on foot. The cable car service has caused environmental concerns and protests in 1935 and 2006.

In 1961–1962 and in 1967–1968 chairlifts were built on the slopes and they run in two sections.

Rechael's story
Rechael is a 38-year-old widow and mother of three children, who works in a small grocery store. Her husband died in a traffic accident in 2018, and her life changed dramatically as a result. Her husband's family sent her away with the children, and since her mother had also died earlier, she shared with us that she had nowhere to go. Her aunt agreed to have Rachael and her children come live with her.
Rechael was accompanied by her aunt and uncle when she came to Nazareth Hospital this week. She was very anxious, and when she started narrating her story she began to cry. She had become depressed, had experienced periodic upper abdominal pains, and occasional vomiting. She has been admitted at hospitals three times, and a scan showed that she had gallstones. Doctors advised that she have surgery to heal her condition. Unfortunately, she is unable to pay the $788 needed for this surgery.
If not treated, Rechael will continue to experience these symptoms, and could develop complications such as pancreatitis, or obstruction of the gallbladder among others.
"I am desperate and don't know what to do. I can only depend on my family, and they are not in a position to help. I pray for help so that at least my life can be normal again for the sake of my children," said Rechael.

Abel, who is 11 months old, lives with his parents in La Paz. He is his parents' first child. Abel was born with a cardiac condition called ventricular septal defect. Because of this, a hole exists between the two lower chambers of his heart. Blood leaks through this hole without passing through Abel's lungs to obtain oxygen, leaving him weak and short of breath. Abel's parents sought the help of our medical partner, Haiti Cardiac Alliance, and now Abel is scheduled for surgery on January 16th, at Hospital del Niño Dr. Ovidio Aliaga Uria. During surgery, doctors will sew the hole shut, so that blood will no longer leak out. This procedure should enable Abel to grow into a healthy young boy. Abel's mother said: "Our family is praying that our son will be strong and healthy after this surgery!"
Dany is a 41-year-old shop owner from Cambodia. She lives with her father, a retired rice farmer, and her older sister. Dany and her sister run a small shop near their house selling snacks, candy, local spices, and toys. Her favorite pastime is traveling to other provinces in Cambodia to visit her extended family and see the countryside. In November 2022, Dany was standing on a chair in her shop when she fell and dislocated her right elbow. A local healer helped treat her, but when the cast was removed a few days ago, her arm had very limited mobility. When Dany learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), she visited their care center for review. On January 5th, surgeons at CSC will relocate and secure her right elbow. Now, Dany needs help to fund this $600 procedure. She and her family were able to contribute $100 to her care. Dany said, "I hope my elbow can move as normal again after this surgery."
Mey Ching comes from Banteay Meanchey province in Cambodia. She lives with her parents - her father is a cook and her mother is a factory worker. She has a 15-year-old brother in grade seven and a 13-year-old sister in grade four. Mey Ching should be in second grade but is not currently in school because of her disability. She stays at home and likes to paint, watch TV and sit outside with her parents. Since birth, Mey Ching has had a condition with both of her legs which have become increasingly bowing outward at her knees. She cannot walk far and is in pain when she does. This has prevented her from attending school and socializing with peers. Mey Ching's parents traveled eight hours to Children's Surgical Centre for a diagnosis and treatment. Doctors have tentatively diagnosed her with a condition found in children that affects the growth plates around the knee. The disease causes the growth plate near the inside of the knee to either slow down or stop making new bone. She will need an operation to correct both of her bowing tibias. If not treated, it can lead to progressive deformities of her legs however surgical treatment will correct her bowed legs. Mey Ching's family needs help to pay for this $521 procedure at CSC to save their daughter from permanent disability. Mey Ching's mother said: "We are so worried that Mey Ching will never walk or attend school. We are hopeful that the doctors at CSC can fix her legs so she can go to school and play with friends."

Average temperatures were near normal in November. Average temperatures were near normal across the entire state (Table 1). Departures from normal ranged from -0.2° F at Jacksonville to 1.1° F at Tampa. An extremely cold dry air mass pushed into northern parts the state at the beginning of the month, causing numerous minimum temperature records to be broken or tied from the 11th to the 12th (Appendix). The minimum temperature at High Springs, FL on the morning of the 11th was 20° F. Because of this cold snap, some of the National Weather Service's offices in the northern part of the state have suspended issuance of Frost Advisories until March 1st. After the strong cold front pushed through the state, temperatures rebounded and tied and broke maximum records in a few locations from the 15th to the 17th. Temperatures were slightly warmer than normal ahead of another strong cold front prior to Thanksgiving.
Table 1: November average temperatures and departures from normal (° F) for selected cities.
Rainfall totals were below normal statewide in November. Rainfall totals were below normal statewide in November (Table 2). The month was the 4th driest on record at Orlando and the 10th driest on record at Key West. The passage of cold fronts through the northern portions of the state were the main source of precipitation for November, though the totals that amounted from each passage were still not enough to impact the lingering drought. Areal patterns of monthly rainfall relative to normal are depicted in Figure 1.
Figure 1: A graphical depiction of the monthly rainfall departure from normal (inches) for November is given in the figure below (courtesy of NOAA, NWS).
La Niña continues during November. La Niña conditions continue to be present across the equatorial Pacific, with sea surface temperatures (SST) at least 0.5?C below average for the region. The atmospheric circulation anomalies and winds are consistent with La Niña. The current La Niña is forecasted to strengthen and continue through the winter of 2011/2012. The Climate Prediction Center has predicted warmer than normal temperatures and below normal precipitation during this La Niña. However, the 'Wild Card' will be the Arctic Oscillation (AO), which has the potential to trump the typical La Niña pattern. The AO is always present and fluctuates between positive and negative phases. The negative phase of the AO pushes cold Canadian air into the US, leading to periods of well-below normal temperatures, as it has the last two winters. Strong AO phases typically last a few weeks and are very difficult to predict more than a week or two in advance.
Hazardous weather. The only severe weather report for the month came out of Hamilton County as a line of strong storms moved through portions of southern Alabama and Georgia on the 16th. Numerous trees were reportedly knocked over, there was some minor damage done to a shed, and shingles were pulled from a roof.
Agricultural and other impacts. The cold snap earlier in the month damaged vegetable crops in portions of the Florida Panhandle, while warmer temperatures and precipitation caused disease issues in St. Lucie County and the agricultural areas to the southwest of Lake Okeechobee. The continued drought limited the amount of small grain forage being planted in the state. Since the October 25 release of the National Drought Monitor, there has been little change to the drought. Extreme drought lingers in the Panhandle, while Escambia, Santa Rosa and Okaloosa Counties have gone from moderate to severe drought. Water restrictions remain in place in South Florida, even though Lake Okeechobee has maintained a water level of 13.84 ft. This is due the forecasted La Niña and decreased chance of precipitation throughout the winter.

You may be able to address off breadth costs or alike charter payments for a aggregation vehicle.
The Internal Revenue Service's description of adequate business costs as those which are "both accustomed and necessary" leaves a abundant accord of allowance for interpretation. Because new types of business costs crop up anniversary year, it would be absurd for the IRS to advance a absolute list, abnormally because the IRS may accede the aforementioned bulk to be a altogether adequate answer for one business but an unacceptable answer for another. Assertive deductions are broadly advised to be adapted for best businesses.
Valid baby business tax deductions are subtracted from your appear assets on Form 1040 back you book your federal assets taxes. This agency the absolute bulk of assets you are burdened on is lower, so you pay beneath in taxes. In assertive cases, deductions may move you into a lower tax bracket area you pay a lower allotment of your assets in tax.
Established types of baby business deductions include: hire for an appointment space, or a allotment of your home's hire if your arch abode of business is central your home; appointment supplies, including printer toners, paper, or a desk; business use of your claimed vehicle; business software or casework such as area names or web hosting; best allowance premiums; and absorption paid on business loans.
The bulk of food acclimated in assembly of concrete account you sell, such as t acclimated to actualize clothes, is deducted as a bulk of appurtenances sold, not as a business expense. Assets your business purchases, such as a aggregation car or computer equipment, charge be capitalized instead of deducted.
Even if your baby business drew too little assets this year to account the absolute bulk of business expenses, you should still abstract all costs that you are advantaged to claim. You can accept to backpack some of this year's deductions on the afterward year's return. This is generally a acceptable abstraction if your business is aloof starting and you apprehend to accept a decidedly college assets in the future.
All business tax deductions charge be for costs that were absolutely for business purposes. Writing off an bulk that was acclimated for claimed reasons, alike a baby allotment of the time, is not allowed. If an bulk overlaps business and claimed use, the IRS allows you the advantage to address off alone the allotment of that bulk that corresponds to business use.
Unless you chose to backpack over deductions from a antecedent tax year, you can alone affirmation costs for your baby business as deductions if you incurred them during the antecedent tax year. Best baby businesses accomplish on the agenda year, from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, but back you accessible your business you can accept to specify a altered starting point for your budgetary year.

AFL-CIO President Trumka says NAFTA replacement not ready
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka talked about the replacement for NAFTA during a stop in metro Detroit. He said the union wants changes to the deal.
AFL-CIO President Trumka says NAFTA replacement not ready AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka talked about the replacement for NAFTA during a stop in metro Detroit. He said the union wants changes to the deal. Check out this story on Freep.com: https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2019/06/20/aflcio-president-trumka-nafta-usmca/1503630001/
Eric D. Lawrence, Detroit Free Press Published 6:01 a.m. ET June 20, 2019
One UAW member's reaction to the meeting with US trade representative Robert Lighthizer at UAW Local 600 in Dearborn. Junfu Han, Detroit Free Press
Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO, told a crowd gathered at a union hall in Taylor on Wednesday evening that the proposed replacement for NAFTA is not ready for passage.
Negotiators, he said, need to go back to work.
"This agreement's going to be around for a long, long time," Trumka told more than 100 people gathered at the UAW Region 1A office in the Detroit suburb.

It's more important to get the deal right than meet an artificial deadline, he said, referencing President Donald Trump's push for a vote in Congress soon on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
"We're not going to get another bite at this apple for a long, long time," Trumka said, noting that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is standing in "lockstep" with the union and its concerns. "If the president insists on a premature vote, then we'll oppose it."
Trumka's visit to metro Detroit came on the same day that Mexico's Senate ratified the agreement, leaving the fate of the agreement to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement hinging on passage in Canada and the United States.
U.S. Trade Rep. Robert Lighthizer issued a statement praising the Mexican vote, saying the deal is "good for the United States, Mexico and Canada in a way that truly benefits our workers, farmers and businesses."
Trumka, however, said issues remain.
Among the problems with the proposal as it stands, Trumka said, is a lack of enforceability of its rules. One provision that the union would like to see inserted is an ability to stop products at the border until violations are rectified, a suggestion that prompted one of the numerous rounds of applause from the crowd. Trumka also called a provision mandating that a certain percentage of auto work be handled by higher wage workers a "smoke cloud."
At one point during a question-and-answer session with union members, Trumka, highlighting a theme of solidarity, noted that Mexican workers are not the enemy.
The union has been working with the administration to make the deal better, but it's still not where it needs to be, Trumka said, noting that NAFTA "was an attack on our livelihoods, an attack on our way of life."
"On NAFTA, there's a narrow ... but critical opening for us to work together to get it done," Trumka said. "We now have a real chance to replace it with something that's better for working people ... better for our economy."
Trumka's talk followed similarly scheduled events in Pittsburgh and Cleveland in recent days.
Myra Gay, who works at Fiat Chrysler Automobile's Chelsea Proving Grounds, was one of the union activists at the meeting.
"I'm not sure the new deal goes far enough," she said.
When asked whether one of her concerns about the new agreement is that outsourcing is still possible, she said that it is.
"That has always been a concern," Gay said.
Metro Detroit has seen several high-profile visits related to the trade deal in recent months.
Vice President Mike Pence came to Taylor in April to rally support for the deal among auto industry leaders.
"As the American automotive industry prospers, America prospers, and with the USMCA ratified and agreed to between the United States and Canada and Mexico, I promise you the best is yet to come for the automotive industry in Michigan and in America, and we're going to make this country more prosperous than ever before," Pence said at the time.

But union leaders have been skeptical.
The current town halls are not the first time Trumka has raised questions about the proposed NAFTA replacement.
"It's a repeat of the old NAFTA and fails to stop the hemorrhaging of U.S and Canadian jobs to Mexico. It doesn't prevent corporations like General Motors from closing down plants and hurting workers and communities up and down the supply chain from Ohio to Ontario and beyond," Trumka said in an April speech posted on his union's website.
The AFL-CIO isn't the only union to raise concerns about the proposed trade deal.
The Detroit-based UAW told the Free Press in April that more negotiations are needed because the proposed deal falls short.
"We need a strong, enforceable and impactful agreement that saves and creates good paying jobs right here at home. We urge the administration to get back to the negotiating table with Canada and Mexico," according to a UAW statement at the time.

Q: What is the maximum number of touch events per second I can receive? When I drag a finger across the screen, there seems to be a limit to how quickly touchesMoved gets called. It seems that the limit is around 50/second. What controls this limit, and is it possible to change this?
I'm guessing this is controlled at a very low level and I'm stuck with it, but perhaps not. I'd love to be able to have a higher resolution time-wise for these touch events.

A: It takes computational resources to handle touchesMoved, especially if you do a lot in your touch handler, so you are going to hit an upper bound at some point, assuming it is not capped.
My guess is that there is no cap, and you are just hitting the upper bound of what the iPhone can handle while it is also trying to draw your application.
Just a guess though.

A: Yes, I think the iPhone is sampling the touches roughly 60 times per second. When you spend time in touchedMoved that number decreases relative to how much time you are using for processing the touch.

This coconut milk powder is a radically SANEr alternative to cow's milk. People from many diverse cultures, languages, religions, and races scattered around the globe have revered the coconut as a valuable source of healthy wholesome food. Wherever the coconut palm grows, the people have learned of its importance in a healthy diet. For thousands of years coconut products have held a respected and valuable place in local folk medicine thus gaining the name 'Tree of Life'. Some scientists like to refer to the coconut as a water dispersal fruit and seed. Botanically speaking, a coconut is a fibrous one-seeded drupe, also known as a dry drupe. However, when using loose definitions, the coconut can be all three: a fruit, a nut, and a seed. The FDA defines a coconut as a nut though it is not a true nut scientifically speaking. A true nut, such as the acorn, does not open at maturity to release its seeds. A nut can be defined as a one seeded fruit and with that loose definition, a coconut can also be a nut. Coconut milk has been widely acknowledged as the miracle liquid which may help people to build up and support the immune system effectively. Coconut milk contains vitamins, electrolytes and minerals essential for optimal health.
Coconut milk powder and non-GMO tapioca maltodextrin derived from yuca root.
SANE strives to offer the best raw organic non-GMO products available whenever possible. Our Coconut Milk Powder passes our strict quality assurance which includes testing for botanical identity, heavy metals, chemicals and microbiological contaminants. SANE offers Coconut Milk Powder packaged in airtight stand-up, resealable foil pouches for optimum freshness. Once opened, just push the air out of the pouch before resealing it in order to preserve maximum potency. Keep your Coconut Milk Powder in a cool, dark, dry place.
Use as a radically SANEr alternative to cow's milk, and a SANEr alternative to soy, rice, almond, and hemp milk.
To replace a glass of cow's milk mix 1 heaping tablespoon of coconut milk powder with one cup of water. Adjust amount of water to achieve desired consistency.
Two tablespoons (aka about 16 oz. SANE coconut milk) counts as one serving of Whole-Food Fats.
If you choose to drink milk or need to add milk to recipes/smoothies, this is without question your SANEst milk choice.
