Net profit at the end of June 2018 rose to CHF 115.3 million, up 5.3% from CHF 109.5 million from the same period in 2017. The operating result of CHF 147.4 million, compared with CHF 133.9 million a year earlier, represents an increase of 10.1% (+ CHF 13.5 million). Assets under management reached CHF 128.4 billion thanks to net inflows of CHF 2.7 billion.
Net new money during the first half of 2018 amounted to CHF 2.7 billion, leading to total assets under management reaching CHF 128.4 billion at the end of June 2018, compared with CHF 125.3 billion at the end of December 2017. This was a result of inflows from both private and institutional clients, particularly in Asia and Europe.
Operating revenues grew by 6.0%, rising from CHF 509.6 million in the first half of 2017 to CHF 540.0 million at the end of June 2018. In a more volatile market environment, the decrease in brokerage fees, caused by fewer client transactions, was offset by a rise in management fees from assets managed in funds, as well as discretionary and advisory mandates, together now accounting for over 60% of assets under management.
Operating expenses of 341.0 million at the end of June 2018 were up slightly from CHF 323.7 million a year earlier. This increase was mainly the result of new hires in the first half of the year, as well as investments in IT and digital. The cost/income ratio of 63.1% continues to demonstrate that costs and margins are managed both efficiently and effectively.
The Tier 1 ratio, which rose to 28.2% at the end of June, remains well above the minimum requirements stipulated under Basel III and by the FINMA. The Bank's solid financial base can also be seen in its excellent short-term liquidity ratio, which stands at 290.4%.
explains Guy de Picciotto, UBP's CEO.

Pep Lijnders
From the publisher:
"OUR IDENTITY IS INTENSITY," declares Liverpool FC assistant-manager Pep Lijnders in this compelling account of the 2021/22 season, and from the very first chapter he takes us on a footballing thrill-ride we will never forget. Liverpool's blistering brand of football has revived a sleeping giant, energised its vast army of fans, entertained crowds at home and all over the world, and redefined coaching excellence. Now Pep tells the inside story of a season which, even by LFC standards, has been truly sensational.
Week by week as the drama unfolds it's all here: from pre-season to unforgettable finale; great goals and gruelling schedules; passionate team-talks and personal reflections; unsung heroes and Kop idols; the pride and the passion, the joy and the heartache... and the fun. In his own engaging and inspiring style, Pep takes readers behind-the-scenes at Anfield, the AXA Training Centre and the team hotel; on the pitch, in the dugout and back in the dressing-room away from the media glare.
In forming a 'one-club' mentality, Jurgen Klopp, Lijnders and co have also created countless modern memories for the LFC family, and this unique book chronicles their legacy. It's an unprecedented account of a season at an elite football club from one of the game's most thoughtful students.

Playful as it sounds however, that poem also has a bit of a dark tone to it — a toucan and a budgie's friend got into an altercation on the road. This darker tone runs through quite a few of the poems, hinting at perhaps more adult themes than the singsongy rhythms imply. Take for example the absolute horror of the following imagery: "It's easy to injure a gingerbread man / and a gingerbread injury's bound to expand / from a foot to a leg from a head to a hand / when you're eating him, eating him, fast as you can." I know fairy tales and nursery rhymes are more violent than we would have realized as kids, and I suppose the fanciful rhythms will delight kids even though parents will see the more somber subtext.
I did think some of the poems were trying too hard to be clever, with sly references that may make the adult reader pause, but that are too obvious in their attempt to elicit praise. Take for example the one about Sleeping Beauty: "After Sleeping Beauty woke, she never slept again; / she feared another fairy attack, / and that's why Sleeping Beauty's now / a beautiful insomniac." Clever little turn of phrase in the last line, but self-consciously so. I just thought it sad, and not as fun to read out loud as some of his other poems.
Or take the one about the twins whose lives begin "with twice the force" and have fun with bunk beds and double decker rocking horses. Except "what can be doubled can just as well be cut in half," which makes the twins "sober up at once, of course." All I could think of was, so what?
Still, a lot of the poems are fun wordplay, and definitely best read out loud. The book itself is beautiful, classic Porcupine's Quill with paper cuts by Alec Dempster that add a bit of a stark, classical feel to poems. Teachers and parents of young and elementary school children may best appreciate Lawson's poetry.

The church was built between 1893 and 1894 to the designs of H Stock who was surveyor to the Haberdashers Company. The church suffered war damage and was re-roofed in part after the war. In 1972 the western end of the church was incorporated into a new community centre designed by Gordon Cook. St Catherine's Library and housing on St Catherine's Drive also form part of the complex.
The church is built in an Early English Gothic style in Kentish ragstone with Bathstone dressings. The main roofs are pitched and slated. The accommodation comprises nave, aisles, chancel, chapel, choir vestry, priests vestry, organ chamber and small undercroft. The church is substantially built, in brick with Ragstone facing and Bathstone weathering stones and window surrounds. The nave is spanned by timber trusses and the roof slopes are finished with Westmoreland slate or Welsh slate.

iCloud.com Photos app said to be coming next week alongside iOS 8.1
Mike Beasley
- Oct. 17th 2014 3:04 am PT
@MikeBeas
Earlier this month Apple published some support documents that referred to an iCloud.com-based Photos web app for managing a photo library. It was discovered that when the URL for the app was entered into the beta version of the iCloud site, it produced an error message rather than simply redirecting to the home page like any other invalid link.
Today a 9to5Mac reader attempted to load the app and was presented with the page pictured above indicating that users running iOS 8.1 (which includes the beta version of the iCloud Photo Library feature) will be able to use the web app to view their photos. With iOS 8.1 scheduled for release on Monday, it's not a stretch to think the online version of the app will be launching then as well.
Photos for Mac, on the other hand, is still said to be coming in early 2015. Even so, Adobe is already capitalizing on the upcoming discontinuation of iPhoto and Aperture and released a Lightroom importer for those apps yesterday. Users who have decided to stick with Apple's first-party offering may have to wait until next year for a native OS X application, but hopefully this new web app will do a decent job of filling the gap for the time being.
Thanks Genady!

The Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) Programme is strength based, intensive, preventative home visiting programme. It is offered to first time teenage parents. In the US, large scale Randomised Controlled Trials have shown that FNP delivers significant improvements in the health and wellbeing of the most disadvantaged children and their families.
In Dudley the FNP programme is delivered by specially trained, experienced Health Visitors. The named Family Nurse will provide intensive and structured home visiting from early in the pregnancy and for the first two years of the child's life. A programme schedule is followed which covers personal health, environmental health, life course development, maternal role and friends/family. The Family Nurse will also undertake the Healthy Child Programme (the theory that underpins the Health Visitors schedule of visits) for families on her caseload.
FNP uses in-depth methods to work with young parents on attachment, relationships and psychological preparation for parenthood. Family Nurses build supportive relationships with families and help guide first time teenage parents enabling them to adopt healthier lifestyles for themselves and their babies and plan their futures.

Rock on into the Wilds of the Mercantour Park
By Lanie Goodman -
The striking, lunar beauty of the Vallée des Merveilles makes it popular with hikers. Photo credit © Vincent Jaques, Drone de Regard
The Vallée des Merveilles, with its stark beauty, prehistoric rock carvings and welcoming hostelries, is the perfect spot to get away from it all. Lanie Goodman pulls on her hiking boots
Think of it like this: you wake up at home, at dawn, on a mid-August morning in a haze of silvery heat. Your electric fan is valiantly stirring the sticky air, but you're drenched in sweat. And forget any hope of a cool sea breeze, not even on your terrace. The outdoor thermometer reads 31°C in the shade. You gulp down your coffee, gazing out at the Mediterranean, lace up your battered Nikes and grab your knapsack, hat and sun cream. It's time to head for the hills.
A 90-minute drive later, having snaked up the winding roads along the Vésubie River, you arrive at the village of Belvédère and take the narrow tree-shaded path to La Gordolasque, the set-off point for a three-hour climb up the mountain in La Vallée des Merveilles (the Valley of Marvels). And by 11am, you are up in the clouds, smiling with beatitude and, yes, shivering, with every layer of clothes you brought zipped snugly and a scarf knotted around your neck.
You can strike out on your own or join a guided walk. Photo credit © Vincent Jaques, Drone de Regard
You have arrived at the top of the mountain, at last, and the terrain has finally flattened out. Stepping gingerly across the piles of windblown rocks, you catch your breath for a moment by the banks of a lake called Lac de la Fous, a glacial mirror of shimmering water surrounded by craggy boulders. The deserted, almost otherworldly landscape is nothing less than sublime and you thank your lucky stars that in the height of summer, you can escape to this heavenly spot, 2,232m above sea level. The climb is a steady uphill challenge for a beginner like me. For the first hour and a half, you are rewarded with a stunning variety of wild flowers in the most arresting shades of blue, purple and yellow (I can't help noticing that my childhood Crayola favourite colour, periwinkle, seems to predominate). And then, there are the wild raspberry bushes, which are not supposed to be picked, but everyone seems to be grabbing a handful now and then as they trudge up the steep incline.
My hiking buddy Gilles suddenly grabs my elbow. "Do you hear them?" he says in a hoarse whisper. "Don't move." A high-pitched whistle. There's something brownish behind the windblown rocks and scrub. Two marmots, happily trilling away. We sit and rest for a while and it isn't long before we're rewarded with the sight of a pair of chamois, who prance past us, grazing placidly the hillside. I feel like I've walked into a Disney cartoon.

"No energy bar now," Gilles admonishes, watching me dig through my knapsack. He's a hard-core trekker and knows the terrain extremely well. I settle for a long slug of water and we continue. An hour later, all signs of greenery vanish, replaced by a stark lunar landscape of granite slabs.
Keeping my eyes on where I'm walking (proper hiking boots are definitely de rigueur here), I finally dare to look up. Off in the distance is the slate grey enchanted lake with mist rising from the banks, and just above, at the top of the mountain, a wooden cabin, a welcome of glimpse of civilisation. We climb the long wooden stairway to the Refuge de Nice, a dormitory-style wooden gîte for trekkers where you can have dinner and spend the night – that is, if you've come equipped with a sleeping bag (and a change of warm clothes) in your knapsack.

However, that doesn't mean you have to rough it. Figuring that we'd want to hang around after the hike, we'd reserved a modest room (with a private bathroom, s'il vous plaît) at the friendly country inn, the Refuge de la Gordolasque, down in the valley. It's a favourite haven for hikers (some rooms offer bunk beds for groups) but is also a popular local haunt, known for its tasty traditional dishes, including beef stew (daube niçoise) with polenta and homemade wild cèpe ravioli.
To fuel up for our three-hour descent, we order coffee and a big slice of mountain blueberry pie and take it outside to the Refuge terrace overlooking the lake. A few chickens peck at the gravel next to us. "They must belong to the caretaker of the gîte who lives here full-time," I tell Gilles. "For his egg supply," he says, nodding. The majestic stillness is broken by the sudden arrival of a group of bronzed Lycra-clad hikers brandishing steel walking sticks. "Let's go," I say, rising. My legs would be sore in the morning but never mind. Plus, I could hardly wait until nightfall: not only it was shooting star season, but we'd get to see the sparkling swathe of the Milky Way.

On the easternmost side of the Mercantour is the Roya Valley, another entrance to the Vallée des Merveilles, where you drive past pretty Baroque towns with onion dome churches, like the pastel stacked village of Saorge, or Fontanalbe and Casterino. This second hike, a few weeks later, was to catch a glimpse of the prehistoric engravings I'd heard so much about.
Known as the Voie Sacrée, it's a kind of open-air museum of rock art modelled by glaciers that disappeared 10,000 years ago. You can reserve a spot on a guided tour that takes you all the way up to the foot of Mont Bégo, but we've opted for the shorter escapade. Our guide, Hélène, is a lithe young woman with a ponytail who is scrambling up the trail, and I somehow manage (panting for breath) to keep up with her. "There are over 40,500 engravings, divided between the Vallée des Merveilles and the Valley of Fontanalbe, with nearly 40,000 different signs," she tells us. "It looks like a Miró," Gilles comments, squinting at the emblematic face of a Neolithic hunter from 2500 BC on the rock – a few faint horizontal lines with his hands stretched to the sky. That's just the beginning: there are all sort of animals, flora, figurative axes and swords from the Bronze Age, plus a smattering of human figures.

Mercantour, created in August 1979, is an impressive example of biodiversity, with 2,000 species of plants, 550km of hiking trails, and 60 types of mammals, including wolves, and 150 different kinds of birds. "Camping is not allowed in Rock Art zones," Hélène says sternly to the group. "No hunting either."
At the end of the walk, we come upon another gîte, the recently inaugurated Refuge Fontanalbe, which turns out to be a relatively easy hike, even for kids.
"I'll be back," I promised Hélène. That was August 2019. Last year, of course, was different. Yet, even though travel plans were disrupted by Covid-19 restrictions, the Mercantour continued to attract a large number of visitors who longed for a back-to-nature jaunt in wide open spaces.

On September 30, 2020, the violent storm Alex raged through the Vésubie and Roya Valley for three full days, causing disastrous flooding and a tragic outcome for many homeowners who lost everything. Lives were lost, houses were washed away, bridges were smashed and power cuts lingered on after the storm had passed.
I spoke to Paul Burro, Mayor of Belvédère and administrator of the Mercantour National Park, to find out how the region is reconstructing itself, little by little. "We were very lucky that none of our hiking trails or gîtes were affected by the storm," Burro says. The mud and gravel is being cleared, the roads repaired. "By the early spring, tourists will be able to return and take advantage of the incredible beauty of this region."
The area has an abundance of flora. Photo credit © Lanie Goodman
However, the neighbouring medieval hilltop village, Saint-Martin-de Vésubie was not as fortunate. "It was awful the first few days," says British wine writer Elizabeth Gabay, a long-time village resident. "We had no drinking water, no electricity and the helicopters had to deliver staples until the roads were fixed." But what Gabay learned from the tragedy, she says, was the incredible feeling of community solidarity that has brought the villagers together.
"Everyone immediately brought out their remaining food from the fridge and shared it." She explains how one local traiteur (fine food take-out), Sylvain Laurentia, began cooking outside in the big square, dishing up salade niçoise and merguez to rescue workers and anyone else who wanted lunch. "People came from everywhere to help out. There were 30 top chefs from the Var that sent us 3,000 meals – lovely dishes like pasta chicken with sundried tomatoes or salmon and risotto."
What will happen by this summer? "We're working together with a group of people to recreate eco-tourism on a luxury level and move the village forward," says Gabay. "One example is happening right beside my house – they're constructing beautiful five-star chalets on the hillside," she adds. "We're hoping people will toss out their old guide books and come to rediscover the Mercantour." Count me in.

In today's episode Bill and David discuss the power of habits. This power starts with understanding why we have habits? Why it is hard to change old habits? Where did we get our current habits? Once you get an understanding of the why, we can then apply some truths to really make changes in our lives. We have the ability to set habits that drive us to successes never imagined, with actions that are positive without thought.

They say summer bodies are made in winter—and so is summer skin. To have your skin soft, smooth, and bathing-suit-ready this summer, you'll want to get started with laser hair removal now. Our medical spa near Tampa, FL, performs this noninvasive procedure for men and women who want to reduce hair almost anywhere on the body.
If you're interested in laser hair removal, read on. We'll explain what laser hair removal is, how it works, and why winter is the right time to get started.
Laser hair removal is a nonsurgical treatment to remove unwanted hair from the body. Laser hair removal can use either heat or light energy to target and destroy the hair follicles (where the hair grows). This causes the hair to fall out and helps prevent it from growing back.
At Radiance Medspa, we use the Palomar IPL StarLux system – the best hair removal system available for all skin tones. The StarLux machine uses intense pulsed light to target hair follicles while they are in the growth phase. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles and the heat causes the hair to fall out.
The procedure is noninvasive and most people find it very tolerable. In fact, most of our patients report little or no discomfort and say that the treatment feels like a snapping sensation on the skin that lasts for less than 2 seconds. Your first appointment may take an hour or more depending on the size of the area being treated. After treatment, your skin may be slightly sore and red, similar to a sunburn.
Why is now the best time to start laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal usually requires a series of treatments for best results. That's because only the hair that currently exists or is growing is targeted. Hair that has not entered the growth phase may not be affected, and will likely surface later. By getting started early, you'll have a few treatments under your belt before summer comes, which gives you plenty of time for your results to fully appear.
Laser hair removal works best on darker hair and may not be effective for blonde, white, or gray hair. However, we have treated individuals of all skin tones and hair colors, so the best way to find out if you are a candidate is to schedule a consultation.
How often does the treatment need to be performed?
Laser hair removal should be performed every 4 to 6 weeks for facial hair, and every 6 to 8 weeks for hair on the body. The number of treatments you will need depends on your hair color, skin tone, and hair type (fine, thick, or coarse). Your treatment schedule will be discussed with you during your consultation.
Is there anything I should know before my treatment?
It's important to avoid tanning, waxing, and tweezing 4 to 6 weeks before your appointment. Shaving is permitted, and you can shave 1 to 2 days before your laser hair removal treatment.

Nashua, New Hampshire, USA, October 29, 2012 – Kentico Software (www.kentico.com), the Web Content and Customer Experience Management vendor, announces the successful planting of 126 trees as part of their Trees for Bugs initiative, in which the company plants a tree for every bug found in its software.
Saturday, October 27, 2012 saw the planting of 126 trees in the town of Ždánice, Czech Republic as part of Kentico's Trees for Bugs initiative. Started in 2009, the initiative involves the Kentico Team volunteering their free time twice a year to plant trees for every bug found in the most recent version of Kentico CMS. Each tree bears the name of the person to whom it is dedicated and can be found in the Kentico Trees for Bugs Tree Gallery and on the tree map.
Supplementing the efforts of Kentico's Bughunter tool and in-house testers, users of Kentico CMS are encouraged to report potential bugs for investigation. Not only does the company promise to fix any confirmed bug within 7 working days, but it promises to plant a tree in the name of the bug-finder. With a current 70 modules and 400 web parts, testing is an important part of the development process in order to keep the number of bugs as low as possible.
This fall's event was enjoyed by 50 Kentico staff and their families who welcomed the help of Jiří Francek (and family) of Dragon bits, Czech-based Kentico Solution Partner. The unfavorable weather made for a strong team approach to the goal and a pleasant social atmosphere in the post-planting assemblage.
A dedicated website to the initiative, Trees for Bugs, not only keeps the community informed as to the current bug count, but also allocates bug penalties to the responsible teams. In the country standings of client bug-finders, the USA stands well ahead, followed by the UK and the Netherlands. Also each bug-discoverer can search by name to find a photo and actual location of their tree(s).
Partner responses to the initiative video: How do you like the Trees for Bugs initiative?


Do You Conduct Business in MN as a Subcontractor or Supplier?
Effective August 1, 2013, a new Minnesota law will go into effect that forbids general contractors from forcing subcontractors/suppliers to include insurance coverage to cover the negligence or intentional acts or omissions of others on a project. Currently, many subcontract agreements include requirements that force subcontractors/suppliers to purchase extra insurance coverage to cover the negligence and intentional acts of others, relieving the general contractor of liability and passing that liability to the subcontractors/suppliers.
Best practice has dictated that subcontractors/suppliers attempt to negotiate such a deep pocket risk away. Unfortunately, the competitive balance between general contractors and subcontractors often makes it difficult for subcontractors to negotiate out a broad-form indemnification. When reviewing contracts between today and August 1, negotiate out any broad-form indemnification clause on the grounds that effective August 1, 2013, the practice is unlawful in Minnesota. When reviewing new contracts after August 1, 2013, look closely at the insurance requirements to assure the contract does not include broad-form indemnification or similar clauses.
Broad-form indemnification is just one of the deep pocket risks of concern to a subcontractor/supplier in a construction contract. Contact a WFJ attorney for strategies on avoiding broad-form indemnification and other deep pocket risks that are present in most construction contracts.
For your information, here is a link to the MN Statute that takes effect August 1, 2013.

If you have ambitions to get ahead at work and manage your own team, you have to prove to the higher ups that you can handle being a leader. While that might seem easier said than done to some, there are simple and small ways to act like a leader at work that help you prove that you have the ability to rally teams and get your work done.
Leadership isn't just about sitting at the front of a table and dolling out instructions and tasks. It's more about motivating the office to put its best foot forward, bringing in industry developments to keep the business growing, and doing each task with enthusiasm and commitment. You don't need to have the corner office to pull all that off. And if you show off those tendencies even as you're an entry level employee, you can count that your boss will notice.
From giving people credit for a job well done during a meeting to being brave enough to speak up during your own annual review, there are plenty of ways to display leadership skills. Below are 11 tips on how to prove you're a leader at work — get ready to make a difference in the office.
Being a leader isn't all about speaking up more in meetings. You can also show your strengths by pitching a lunch group or workshop that you'd love to lead. "Do you love reading business books? Ask to lead a monthly book club during lunchtime that ties in to topics that relate to your industry and/or company culture. Are you super organized? Ask to lead a workshop where you share your project management techniques," Michelle Ward, a career coach for creative women, shares in an email interview with Bustle. If you link it to your strengths and interests, you'll create something imressive and worthwhile.
A little humble bragging can go a long way in the office — after all, how are people to know how hard working you are if you don't share it with them? "Highlight what you're working during meetings and even more importantly, if someone takes credit for your work, you need to stand up for yourself. To that point, feel free to mention a colleague's good work as well. Share the wealth, and by that I mean praise. True leaders aren't hesitant to shine the spotlight on someone else when credit is due," Vicki Salemi, Career Expert for Monster, shares in an email interview with Bustle. Being noticed motivates people, which s exactly what a true leader does.
It can be tempting to just smile and nod through your review, but to make it really work for you, voice what you love about your job and what you'd like to change. "I had a client realize that she didn't like her job, but she loved her company. Once she clarified more of what she did want to work on, she brought it up during her annual review. Because she was a valued member of the organization, they wound up custom creating the position for her!" Ward explains. If she hadn't spoken up, she wouldn't have a position she was excited to come to every morning.
When something goes wrong don't be part of the hive that complains and stresses about it. Instead, step up with action steps. "Instead of being part of the problem, be part of the solution. Be proactive and then report back to your boss and to the group regarding next steps," Salemi advises. A leader doesn't wait for others to fix problems; they take charge immediately.
Saing yes to everything doesn't make you a team player — rather, it has the potential to make you a pushover. "Stop being a Yes Woman already, and set boundaries around what you will and won't do at work. Do leaders agree to do everything that's asked of them, especially if it puts their work quality at risk? I didn't think so," Ward points out. You have to prioritize.
Has your group been stuck on a particular point for the last 10 minutes with no solutions? Take charge and commit yourself to keeping those meetings constantly moving forward. "You can create an agenda and ensure speakers stick to it, and/or jump in with comments like, 'Well, since we've discussed this for a few minutes, why don't Liz and Bob speak with accounting offline and follow up with an email afterwards sharing what they discovered?'" Salemi recommends. People will naturally start expecting you to take charge like that.
Being a leader doesn't mean you just look out for Number One. You also keep an eye on the office and make sure everyone else is running at optimal speeds. "If you see a coworker struggling, jump in and help them, but there's a fine line as you toggle between ensuring you still get your work done as well," Salemi suggests. Even if it's just forwarding them free workshops that help them bone up on their skills, small moves like that show signs of leadership.
If you're constantly reading articles, listening to podcasts, and flipping through industry books, you'll bring new information and ideas to your office. "When you're passionate about your job, you want to do everything you can to get better at it, and bring your company up with you. Keeping on top of ever-evolving industry trends is one way to show your dedication," entrepreneur writer Nicole Fallon from Business News Daily offered. You'll constantly have ideas on how to transform your company for the better, which shows true initiative.
Not only will being close with your coworkers make the office feel more simpatico, but knowing their strengths and personal talents can help you suggest them for projects and assignments. "You know the names and job functions of your team members, but do you really know who they are as people? Getting to know your staff on a personal level will not only help them feel more valued, but help you manage them better, too," Fallon suggested.
Successful leaders celebrate team members' wins and hard work, so shine some light when a job well done has happened. "Successful leaders never take consistent performers for granted and are mindful of rewarding them," Glenn Llopis business writer from Forbes suggested. Whether it's bringing it up in a meeting or high-fiving them at their desk, spreading praise only makes people want to work harder for the cause.
Sometimes the place you're in just doesn't have the room to help you move forward. In those cases, a true leader isn't scared to stretch her legs a little. "Even if you do all of these other things to become a leader, it's possible that you're just fishing in the wrong pond. Your leadership may not be valued and/or recognized by your current employer, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't continue to hone this preparation phase, only that you need to find a better employer that recognizes your leadership potential," Salemi suggests. If the opportunities truly aren't there, you need to find them where they are.
Even if you're in a lower level job, you can still practice your leadership skills. Try these out and see where they take you.

You are in zone 5 - most of our area is. For most of the warm season crops like tomato, pepper, cucumber, and squash you don't plant those outside until early May but if you want to start your own seeds you start those indoors right about now. There are some crops like lettuce, carrots, beets, and other leafy greens that can take some cooler temperatures and you can plant them probably closer to early to mid April. If you want more information for specific crops, please email me a list of what you want to grow and I can give you more specific information. My email is below.
One thing you can do is look at the seed packet or plant label - it will tell you when you should plant it outside and how many weeks before last frost (which is early-mid May) you should start them indoors. You can use a calendar, mark the day you want to plant, and count backwards the number of weeks.
This document (https://pubs.ext.vt.edu/content/dam/pubs_ext_vt_edu/426/426-331/426-331_pdf.pdf) from Virginia has a good chart where you can count the number of weeks before planting and then see when you can expect harvest, but it may be more information than you are looking for. (just ignore the first page). The way you use it is to put your planting date (aim for about May 15) in the column listed as "00" then count backward so you can see when you can plant them outside.

Ėlektrogorsk (anche traslitterata come Elektrogorsk) è una cittadina della Russia europea centrale di 21.130 abitanti (oblast' di Mosca), situata 88 km a est della capitale.

La città venne fondata nel 1912 durante la costruzione di una centrale energetica alimentata a torba, chiamata Ėlektroperedača (Электропередача); il neonato insediamento prese questo nome e lo mantenne fino al 1946, quando ottenne lo status di città e l'attuale nome.

Il suffisso -gorsk che è stato aggiunto al nome non si riferisce, come solitamente succede, a "montagna" (in russo gora), ma a "città"; il significato del nome attuale è dunque quello di città elettrica.
