The Dynamic Stuttering Therapy course that I participated in was thorough and the learning experience was fascinating and enriching, both in its theoretical and practical aspects. Dear Barbara, I wanted to thank you for your patience and attention to each and every one. You gave yourself throughout the whole course. Indeed, we felt that we had come out with a practical tool, different from anything we knew. And it's so natural to treat stuttering!
Dear Barbara, Your course gave me a completely new perspective on stuttering. It is more than a method; its a way of looking at things, a natural way that takes into consideration the anatomical, physiological and mental state of the individual client. This approach doesn't focus on the stuttering and its elimination, but rather focuses on the natural free way of speaking, and gives operative tools to reach it. You're approach is so logical and it answers so many questions I've had. It is philosophical on one hand, and practical on the other hand, full of rationale and step by step exercises. Learning from you was an overwhelming experience, and today I already see a big positive difference in my patients way of speaking. Thank you so much!
Rivkah had such an amazing experience working with you, Barbara. She gained so much in her speech and really feels confident and good about it. I hear a major change on the phone as well. She speaks so highly of you, and enjoyed all the conversations she had with you. Your intelligence, good nature and optimism made each session so interesting , comfortable and non-pressuring. . She really enjoyed every session with you! I would like to express our tremendous gratitude for all you have done. May you be blessed you with continued success, good health and everything good. We feel very blessed that you were sent to us.
The workshop puts a new perspective on the treatment of stuttering. It demonstrates a total approach to therapy and provides practical and useful advise for clinical practice." My clients often come into therapy feeling helpless. After a few sessions they see clearly that there is no sound or word that they cannot say and this gives them the great courage they need in order to develop correct speech habits. The beauty of this program is that it's not about being different than everyone else, but rather it's about learning to be the same – & they can be the same! As a clinician it's a pleasure to work with a program that is so thorough in its detail. I have used the method with teenagers and adults with equal success and in every situation have felt the thrill of seeing them develop abilities and confidence Thanks!
Barbara Dahm presented a workshop to our speech therapists on November 12, 2006. The title of the seminar was "Dynamic Stuttering Therapy: A Dynamic Stuttering Therapy". This 6-hour presentation was very well received by all those who attended. The participants found that the material was presented in a very professional and organized manner. New techniques were introduced and case studies were reviewed and discussed. The speech therapists went away with hands-on material that they could incorporate into their therapy sessions. Workshop participant.
Begin your path to fluency. Schedule your personal assessment at no cost with Barbara Dahm.
We offer a refreshing approach that shows speakers how to transform stuttering into natural fluent speech, not by learning how to control speech, but by giving up control and all of the counterproductive speech behaviors that get in the way of normally fluent speech.

CPI Aerostructures to Restate Fiscal 2020 Financial Statements
By: CPI Aerostructures, Inc. via GlobeNewswire News Releases
- Management Identified Errors in Inventory Costing Processes
- Error Led to Incorrect Income Reported from Sales of Certain Products
- Affected Products Accounted for approximately 15% of total 2020 revenue
- No Expected Impact on Reported Revenue and Cash Flows for Relevant Fiscal Periods
- Announces Hiring of Andrew L. Davis as Chief Financial Officer Designee
EDGEWOOD, N.Y., June 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CPI Aerostructures, Inc. ("CPI Aero®" or the "Company") (NYSE American: CVU) today announced that the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2020 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") will be amended and that the financial statements which were included therein should no longer be relied upon due to errors in such financial statements. Similarly, management's reports on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, press releases, and investor communications describing the Company's financial statements for such periods should no longer be relied upon.
On May 17, 2021, the Company filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 (the "Form 12b-25") with the SEC which stated that it was unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021 (the "Delayed Form 10-Q") by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort or expense due to, among other things, long-term COVID-19 related absences of personnel whose functions are essential to the financial closing process. After the filing of the Form 12b-25, as part of the delayed financial closing process, management identified errors relating to the recording and reporting of inventory costing and related internal controls (the "Inventory Costing Errors") during its inventory testing procedures for the preparation of the Company's financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021. The Company announced in a press release on June 1, 2021 (the "June 1st Press Release") that it had not timely filed the Delayed Form 10-Q because additional time was needed to complete the Company's delayed financial closing process and to evaluate the scope and impact of the Inventory Costing Errors.
Currently, the Company's internal review indicates that the Inventory Costing Errors resulted from the sequence in which Company personnel used the Company's manufacturing software to receive manufactured goods into stock and code errors in a customization of the Company's core manufacturing software that miscalculated average costs of certain manufactured items.
The Company believes that the Inventory Costing Errors resulted in incorrectly reported inventory values and reported income for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2020. The errors affect the income reported with respect to the Company's product lines for which revenue is recognized when a product ships to customers, which accounted for approximately 15% of total 2020 revenue. The Company believes that the errors did not affect income reported with respect to the Company's products for which revenue is recognized over time using percentage of completion accounting.
The Company is conducting an analysis of the impact of the Inventory Costing Errors on previously reported financial results. The Company currently estimates fiscal year 2020 net income will be reduced by between $1.9 million and $2.3 million, spread over the four fiscal quarters. The Company believes that the Inventory Costing Errors affect neither the reported revenue nor the Company's reported cash flows for the affected periods.
The Company expects to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020, and to restate the financial statements and other disclosures contained therein as soon as reasonably practicable. Although the June 1st Press Release reported that the Company was evaluating the scope and impact of the Inventory Costing Errors for fiscal year 2019, the Company believes that such errors do not require amendment of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 or September 30, 2019 or restatement of the financial statements or other disclosures contained therein and a non-reliance determination has not been made by the audit and finance committee of the board of directors of the Company with respect thereto.
At this time, the Company has not fully completed its review and the expected financial impact of the Inventory Costing Errors described above is preliminary and subject to change. The Company cannot predict the outcome or timing of the Company's filing of restated financial statements for the affected periods.
Management has considered the effect of the Inventory Costing Errors on the Company's prior conclusions of the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each of the applicable periods. As a result of the errors, management has determined that a material weakness existed in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company believes it has identified the corrective action to remediate the cause of the errors. The Company plans to include a discussion of the Company's plan to remediate the material weakness in the Delayed Form 10-Q, which the Company intends to file concurrently with the amended prior period reports referred to above.
Andrew L. Davis, Experienced Financial Executive, Joins CPI Aero
Separately, CPI Aero announced the recent hiring of Andrew L. Davis, a financial executive with more than 30-years of experience in finance and accounting. The Company expects Mr. Davis to be appointed as the Company's chief financial officer following completion of the amended periodic reports referred to above and the Delayed Form 10-Q, replacing Thomas Powers who has been serving as acting chief financial officer since February 2020. Mr. Powers will remain with the Company.
Mr. Davis joined CPI Aero in May 2021. Prior to joining the Company, he served as chief financial officer of Altice Technical Services, a division of Altice USA, Inc. (NYSE:ATUS), one of the largest broadband communications and video services providers in the United States. Before that, Mr. Davis worked ten years at Emerson Radio Corporation, an NYSE-listed distributor of consumer electronics, first as vice president of finance and corporate controller and then executive vice president and chief financial officer, a position he held for more than six years.

All mergers & acquisitions involve a risk in respect of representations and warranties and a lack of flexibility regarding disposition of (part of) the purchase price following the transaction. Warranty and indemnity insurance provides you with greater flexibility and protect your company's values during a transaction. As the insurance premiums for such insurance have recently fallen significantly, warranty and indemnity insurance is worth keeping an eye on.
W&I insurance covers the financial loss which a company suffers in case of a breach of the representations and warranties given in connection with a sale or purchase of a company. Both the purchaser and the seller can take out W&I insurance policies. The price of W&I insurance has fallen significantly over recent years and insurance companies have to a higher extent adjusted their processes to adapt to M&A processes to avoid delaying the transaction which was previously a challenge, thus making W&I insurance relevant only for specific deal-breakers. Because of the recent developments, we have seen more W&I insurance policies within the last couple of years and generally increased focus on this alternative.
Faster transfer of the purchase price and a full right of disposal over the purchase price immediately after closing: This is the case as a W&I insurance may reduce or eliminate the need to place part of the purchase price in an escrow account.
Continued cooperation between the purchaser and seller: W&I insurance is of particular relevance in cases where the seller remains part of the company following closing. Usually, the new majority shareholder is reluctant to raise any warranty claims out of fear of damaging the relationship. W&I insurance can eliminate such conflict of interest.
Are you facing an M&A process of a certain scale where you are looking to secure your values in the best possible way?
Do you have to distribute the full purchase price to your investors as fast as possible?
How important is it for you to eliminate warranty liabilities following a sale?
Could a full right of disposal over the purchase price potentially finance the insurance premium?
Will the purchaser and the seller continue to cooperate following the transaction?
Could the use of W&I insurance potentially increase you competitive advantage as a bidder?
The above is only a brief summary of the more detailed Danish article on W&I Insurances which you can access here.
Kromann Reumert has extensive experience in W&I insurance issues and can assist you in deciding whether W&I insurance is relevant in your situation and, if so, how to structure the process to obtain the best possible coverage at the lowest possible price.


Experts at Simonton Windows offer timely tips for homeowners to enhance the energy efficiency of their windows and doors during October's National Energy Awareness Month.
Energy-efficient upgrades in this home, which feature Simonton windows, are anticipated to reduce energy usage of the 1996 home by more than 50 percent.
This year marks the 21st anniversary of October as National Energy Awareness Month. Experts at Simonton Windows, ranked "Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Windows and Doors, Three Years in a Row" by J.D. Power and Associates, offer a variety of tips for consumers who wish to perform a window and patio door "check-up" to gauge the energy efficiency of these products in their homes.
"Virtually every building component in a home needs to be replaced at some point, and windows are no exception," says Gary Pember of Simonton Windows. "We'd like to think that our roof, siding and windows will last forever, but they won't.
Tip #1 - Examine the inside of your windows and patio doors for hot and cold "drafty" spots (or drafty areas). This indicates air infiltration which can lead to reduced energy efficiency.
Tip #2 - Check every window and door to make sure there is adequate weatherstripping and caulking around the units. This helps eliminate air infiltration and ensure a weather tight, secure seal.
Tip #3 – Look for "burnt out" or faded areas on your furnishings and carpeting. This could indicate harmful, damaging UV rays are entering your home through your windows or doors. You may want to consider replacement with more energy efficient units containing Low E coatings on the glass.
Tip #4 – If your windows no longer open or close easily--or if they need to be propped open--it could mean key components within the units are damaged or need adjustment. It could also mean the unit needs to be replaced entirely.
Tip #5 – Check the "fit" of your current windows or patio doors by having someone stand outside the units at night. With a small flashlight, stand inside and "travel" around the edge of the units. If the person outside sees light coming through the edges, this indicates a poor installation and is resulting in energy loss.
If your evaluation turns up one or more problem areas, it may be time to consider replacing your windows or doors. Be sure to contact an experienced window installation professional, such as a Simonton ProNetwork member.
Vinyl is an excellent insulator and many people choose low-maintenance vinyl frames with an Argon or Krypton gas fill and Low E glass. These harmless gasses are denser than air and serve as an excellent thermal barrier. These components all work together to reduce thermal conductivity, or the transfer of heat and cold through a window. Visit http://www.simonton.com/Information/EnergyEfficiency/ for more details on energy-efficient glass options.
U.S. Department of Energy experts have put together a three-step checklist of information for homeowners considering a window replacement project. Start by considering the design of your home and the climate in relationship to the energy performance of the windows you select. Next, select windows that meet your energy performance requirements. Finally, take the steps necessary to ensure the proper installation of windows to maximize their energy efficiency. In-depth details on these three steps can be found at http://www.energysavers.gov/your_home/windows_doors_skylights/index.cfm/mytopic=13340.
At the ENERGY STAR website, homeowners can also find a comprehensive "What You Can Do" checklist (http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=energy_awareness.awareness_you_can_do) that includes a free five-minute home energy assessment for the home (https://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?fuseaction=HOME_ENERGY_YARDSTICK.showGetStarted).

Something new, our Cow Parsley Wall Panel. The panel is based on the design of our popular Cow Parsley design, and makes use of the design in a simple graphical repeat pattern. The simplistic design lends itself to both traditional and more contemporary gardens and houses. It adds a little interest to patio areas and dull walls, some clients have bought it for hanging inside.
The wall panel is made from Corten steel which is allowed to rust naturally forming a warm, richly colored patina. Corten steel is amazing stuff. When it rusts, the rust actually forms a protective layer over a period of about 4 months that stops it from rusting any more.
The design that's used for the wall panel is very flexible and the panel could be scaled up or down and the proportions could also be changed to suit the location. For more details please take a look at the page in the Sculpture Gallery or please do drop us a note.

This Is Black Friday in Bangladesh
Dhaka factory fire
Walmart, Dickies, Disney, Sean John Apparel, Sears: Two years after the Tazreen factory fire, these companies and others have still not compensated the victims who died making their clothes.

Walmart marks the holiday season this Friday with deals on its Faded Glory women's sweaters. But this time of year marks a different occasion in another corner of Walmart's empire: In Bangladesh, survivors and families remember the second anniversary of a massive fire at the Tazreen factory on the outskirts of Dhaka.
After the fire on November 24, 2012, as families mourned over the incinerated bodies in the factory ruins, activists dug up some damning shreds of evidence: they uncovered a Faded Glory label, proving that the workers had produced Walmart-branded clothes.
Today, two years on, Walmart seems eager to put the horrific legacy of Tazreen behind it. But the victims, including 112 dead and many others left injured and impoverished, can't move on.
The disaster left Maliha partially blind, with severe leg and head injuries, leading her husband to abandon her "to avoid taking care of me." She recounted in a 2013 report by the Clean Clothes Campaign and International Labor Rights Forum (ILRF), "The money I used to earn at Tazreen helped me support my ill mother in the village. Now, I wonder everyday how to survive and feed my children who are so young."
Some of the world's largest corporations should have an answer for her, but on Tazreen's second anniversary, labor and human rights groups have reminded the many multinationals linked to the factory that they have yet to take responsibility. A coalition led by the Clean Clothes Campaign and other labor groups declared, "Walmart still hasn't paid any compensation to the victims nor has it engaged worker organizations to find a solution." In addition, the workers at the "death trap" factory had "also produced clothing for Delta Apparel, Dickies, Disney, Edinburgh Woollen Mill, El Corte Ingles, Sean John Apparel, Kik, Piazza Italia, and Sears. None of these companies have paid a cent towards compensation."
To date, activists report that workers have been left with only meager, piecemeal payments from charitable funds from the government and some local business associations.

ILRF Director of Organizing and Communication Liana Foxvog tells The Nation via e-mail that activists have criticized the domestic compensation programs, observing that "the distribution that has happened has been nontransparent, has not reached many of the injured workers and affected families, nor has it been disbursed equally or fairly."
Some companies have responded to public pressure to pay up. Recently, a foundation tied to the European retailer C&A announced an agreement with labor advocates, the union federation IndustriALL and the International Labour Organization, to create a formal compensation scheme to provide for victims' lost income and medical treatment.
Still, the main challenge will be compelling the major apparel companies to actually fund the program, as corporate contributions continue to lag the toll of dead and injured.
The Tazreen tragedy was a prelude to an even larger disaster, the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory compound, which killed more than 1100 people and galvanized international outrage. Though both incidents have led to some compensation offers (a separate program has been established to support Rana Plaza victims, with some donations from Walmart, but still underfunded), workers still face massive physical and economic hardship.
The two tragedies show that industrial catastrophes happen so routinely in Bangladesh's garment sector, the devaluing of workers' lives is structured into the gears of the production chain, reflected in the abysmally low wages and astronomical profits generated by high-paced overseas mass production.
Walmart has launched its own factory safety initiative, a multi-brand coalition known as the Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety. Yet despite well-publicized efforts to "promote accountability" and "ensure that garment workers remain at the heart of our efforts," the Alliance's statement on the Tazreen anniversary was terse, commemorating the tragedy as "an important wake-up call about the need for urgent reforms," without mentioning any of the companies' links to the factories.
Of course, avoiding any hint of liability for worker deaths is nothing new. After the fire, Walmart tried to distance itself by claiming that Tazreen was not authorized to produce orders for them.
The retail giant was undermining corporate accountability in the days leading to the Tazreen fire as well. In addition to relying on notoriously weak and corporate-friendly auditing services for supplier factories, the company helped scuttle an earlier proposed agreement for the retailers to cooperate on investing in safety renovations. Walmart balked at the proposed requirements, calling them "not financially feasible for the brands."

The corporate stonewalling continues today. To prevent future industrial atrocities, labor groups have launched a framework to administer independent factory monitoring and remedial measures, known as the Bangladesh Accord. Meanwhile, Walmart and Gap have rejected that accord and promoted its Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety as an alternative. But rights groups have sharply criticized that initiative because it allows multinationals to escape full legal liability for safety violations, rendering it comparatively toothless.
The problem isn't simply that Walmart's alternative scheme distracts from the broader, more comprehensive Bangladesh Accord (with about 180 signatory brands). It's that the lack of support from North American industry giants ultimately undermines the social compact underlying the Accord's emergent network of labor and community groups, government and industry.
If the overall culture of the workplace remains hostile to workers, they will remain unprotected in terms of both physical safety and protection of their labor rights. Kalpona Akter of the Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity testified to Congress in February that currently in the factories:
Their right to refuse dangerous work is denied. When I say this, I'm thinking of the workers at Tazreen who were ordered to go back to their sewing machines when the fire alarm went off and then when it became really clear that it was a real fire, the exit doors were locked and the floor managers with the keys were nowhere to be found…. This is why I fear that until the largest U.S. companies the buy from Bangladesh–companies such as Walmart, Gap and VF Corporation–join the Accord, garment workers will continue to die on the job in my country.
So past tragedies will be repeated. And Miraj, who survived Tazreen with severe injuries, will still be haunted by his ominous exchange with his boss before the disaster:
Once I asked the manager, how can we get out if there is a fire? The manager told me that they would build stairs outside, but they did not do anything. This was long ago.
Walmart can argue that it doesn't have to be held to account for factory accidents, and it can perhaps try to make a business case for avoiding the cost of safety investments. But on the question still seared into Miraj's memory—how can we get out if there is a fire?—there's no excuse for the industry's silence.

Q: Confused about TikZ \draw[rotate=angle] I was trying in vain to use a rotated ellipse today and finally got it to work in an extremely hackish way. Trying to follow up, I turned to the manual (pg. 26):

You can also append an ellipse to the path using the ellipse operation. Instead of a single radius you can specify two of them, one for the x-direction and one for the y-direction, separated by and:
\tikz \draw (0,0) ellipse (20pt and 10pt);
To draw an ellipse whose axes are not horizontal and vertical, but point in an arbitrary direction (a "turned ellipse" like) you can use transformations, which are explained later. The code for the little ellipse is \tikz \draw[rotate=30] (0,0) ellipse (6pt and 3pt);, by the way.

Now, perhaps I just didn't understand transformations well enough, but I assumed that:
\draw[rotate=angle] (x,y) ellipse (width,height);

would produce an ellipse centered at (x,y), rotated by angle and with the eccentricity values of width and height. Instead, I seem to be getting an ellipse rotates about the origin if (x,y) is anything other than (0,0).
Here was my test:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}

\draw (0,0)--(10,0);
\foreach \x in {0,...,10}
  \draw (\x,0)--(\x,-.1) node[anchor=north] {\x};

\draw (0,0)--(0,10);
\foreach \y in {0,...,10}
  \draw (0,\y)--(-.1,\y) node[anchor=east] {\y};

\draw[help lines] (0,0) grid (10,10);

\draw (5,5) ellipse (10pt and 20pt);
\draw[rotate=45] (5,5) ellipse (10pt and 20pt);

\end{tikzpicture}

This produces the first ellipse at (5,5) as expected. The second, though, shows up rotated but at approx. (0,7). What am I missing? Why is rotate rotating it "about" something rather than just putting it at the coordinates and rotating it in place?

A: You can use rotate around={degree:coordinate} to rotate the coordinate system by degree around the point coordinate:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0)--(10,0);
\foreach \x in {0,...,10}
  \draw (\x,0)--(\x,-.1) node[anchor=north] {\x};

\draw (0,0)--(0,10);
\foreach \y in {0,...,10}
  \draw (0,\y)--(-.1,\y) node[anchor=east] {\y};

\draw[help lines] (0,0) grid (10,10);

\draw (5,5) ellipse (10pt and 20pt);
\draw[rotate=45] (5,5) ellipse (10pt and 20pt);
\draw[rotate around={45:(5,5)},red] (5,5) ellipse (10pt and 20pt);
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

A: To complete the answer : before the option : rotate around it was possible to use this (it's possible to make shorter ...)
\documentclass[11pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
 \draw (0,0)--(10,0);
\foreach \x in {0,...,10}
  \draw (\x,0)--(\x,-.1) node[anchor=north] {\x};

\draw (0,0)--(0,10);
\foreach \y in {0,...,10}
  \draw (0,\y)--(-.1,\y) node[anchor=east] {\y};

\draw[help lines] (0,0) grid (10,10);
\draw[red] (5,5) ellipse (4 and 2);

\begin{scope}[shift={(5,5)}]
    \begin{scope}[rotate=90]
        \begin{scope}[shift={(-5,-5)}]
            \draw (5,5) ellipse (4 and 2);
        \end{scope}
    \end{scope}
\end{scope}

\end{tikzpicture}

Need to tidy up your look? Here, our pick of Melbourne's best barber shops, from tight fades to a tipple on the side.
Side-parts, quiffs, beards and handle-bar moustaches – men have reached peak personal grooming, embracing a diversity of features that celebrates the peculiarities of our hirsuteness. It owes much to aesthetically driven shows such as Mad Men which inspired gents en masse to search out more traditional, authentic experiences than those provided at your everyday hairdressing salons. This demand has seen a new wave of spaces open, promising old world services from cutthroat shaves to high and tight fades with the occasional pint for good measure. And so, here is our list of Melbourne's best barbershops.
Bespoke isn't often a word that you associate with a haircut but Rob Mason of Richmond-based barbers Morris Motley offers exactly that – custom haircuts tailored to the contours of your own individual features. Honing his craft for more than ten years, Mason combines traditional barbering methods with facial mapping that interprets the exact style requirements of his male clients. Consultations can be anywhere up to 20 minutes before a pair of scissors are even lifted as either Rob or his right hand man Ryan navigate your hair-scape. Mason also offers his own range of luxury men's haircare, built on the same functional precision as his cuts such as the Morris Motley Treatment Oil Shampoo, which cleanses and conditions without stripping back your hair's natural oils.
Samuel J. Fordyce is the skill behind the scissors in this multi-purpose space where you can get everything from one of the city's best breakfasts to a pair of bespoke shoes, made by cordwainers Roberts & Hassett. With more than ten years experience, Fordyce's approach to men's grooming is simple – keep it classic, keep it stylish. No bells. No whistles. Following in the tradition of barbers of old, Fordyce offers a complete grooming service from a simple wash, a cut-throat shave, an array of cuts whether it be a quick tidy up to more complete styling.
Another hybrid space that combines fashion and grooming, walking in to Pickings & Parry is a step back in time. The aesthetic is straight-up Brando in The Wild One – heritage, turn of the century-inspired workwear including denim and leathers line the walls of the shop, and a vintage Triumph motorcycle dominates the window. The barbershop, manned by Jack, is located out the back and bookings are essential. Whether it's a shave, trim or a short back-n-sides – you'll get a no-nonsense treatment from some of the sharpest blades in the city.
An offshoot of legendary salon, Prophecy, the Drunken Barber in Collingwood operates on a very basic premise – no bookings, walk-ins only. It's a luck of the draw concept that is surprisingly liberating, doing away with the fuss of schedules and instead embracing the joy of genuine interaction between you and your barber. Simply show up, take your seat and wait your turn and in return for your patronage, you can expect a cold Boneyard Brew courtesy of Josie Bones. Services offered are equally direct, from cut throat shaves, beard trimming, flat-tops or your choice of classic styling.
A haven dedicated to male grooming, Kings Domain first launched in South Yarra's Toorak Road back in 2013 by Joey Scandizzo and his former apprentice Aaron Chan. The idea for the space was inspired by Chan's travels through South America where he encountered classic barbershops. Details such as French oak timber, marble barber stations, salvaged '50s solid brass light fittings make for a completely masculine space that has an old world charm. Services include a quick and easy clipper all the way up to more premium services or Royal Treatment, which includes a vintage shave and superior cut.

Teething necklaces, bracelets and other jewelry are unsafe and should not be worn by infants or children, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The jewelry is made of amber, silicone, wood or marble. It is sold to lessen teething pain in infants or to help redirect chewing in children with special needs such as autism or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
Infants were nearly strangled or have choked on the jewelry when beads broke off. An 18-month-old died after being strangled by an amber necklace during a nap, according to the FDA.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says infants should not wear any jewelry.
To soothe teething infants, massage their gums or give them rubber teething rings that are not frozen. Never use over-the-counter, homeopathic or natural pain relief gels or teething tablets. They contain benzocaine, lidocaine or belladonna, which can be harmful or deadly for infants.
Children are at risk of strangling in window cords. From 2012-'17, 50 children died when they became tangled and strangled by cords.
Parents are urged to replace window coverings that have cords with cordless coverings. Most window coverings sold in stores and online are required to be cordless or have unreachable, short cords.
Until window coverings with cords can be replaced, make sure that cribs, beds, furniture and toys are placed away from windows and window cords. Keep cords out of reach, get rid of dangling cords, make tasseled pull cords as short as possible and anchor beaded chain loops and cord loops permanently to the floor or wall.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced the recall of the following products. Consumers should stop using recalled products unless otherwise instructed.

I consider Deyrolle (home of the most impressive collection of taxidermy I have ever seen) to be the most remarkable shop in the world. But in 2008, it was ravaged by fire. The news spread quickly and enthusiasts from all four corners of the globe immediately rallied around to donate vast amounts of their own private collections so as to bring the store back to its former glory. One French benefactress donated no less than 50 trays of exquisitely mounted butterflies to the collection.
I could have spent an entire day in the beautifully appointed, mint-green rooms, studying each animal and collection in wonderment, not to mention the numerous rippled glass cabinets filled to the brim with row upon row of drawers housing rare and marvelous specimens. Needless to say – had I been allowed to – I would have taken thousands of photos… but photography is strictly forbidden. What you see was taken surreptitiously.
Another remarkable find was the Librairie Alain Brieux. We had just had tea at Laduree, and what we then stumbled upon jolted me out of my sugar-coated, macaron-induced, coma. The Librairie Alain Brieux is an extraordinary, rare-book shop also playing host to a vast collection of medical antiques and obstetrical instruments not seen since Dead Ringers. Located in Saint Germain-des-Prés, it is one of those old places that one dreams of discovering. It had begun to snow outside, and the cosy, warm interior beckoned as a place of refuge. Books from floor to ceiling; a taxidermied crocodile suspended from the roof; and glass cabinets filled, as they would say in French, plein a craquer, with fascinating artifacts ranging from the macabre to the unimaginable. In addition, a fascinating photographic exhibition of freaks of nature (so to speak) including a man with elephantitis of the whatzits… Nothing, and I repeat nothing, was boiler plate.


PINTEREST FILES FOR IPO: Pinterest filed documents to go public late Friday. The company saw revenue grow 60% to $755.9 million last year, posting a net loss of $63 million, or 17 cents per pre-IPO share. At the end of 2018, Pinterest reported 265 million users and more than 175 billion "pins" saved to its platform. Read more at Fortune.
UBER DEAL: Uber will announce a $3.1 billion cash-and-share deal to acquire its Dubai-based rival Careem Networks as early as this week, according to Bloomberg. Uber will reportedly pay $1.4 billion in cash and $1.7 billion in convertible notes for Careem. Read more.
TACKLING DISCRIMINATION: My colleague Emma Hinchliffe profiled Simone, a small, very early-stage startup that's working to connect people in crisis at work with attorneys, and eventually, with therapists and career coaches. Unlike some of the companies in its cohort, Simone's focus is less on the acute problem of sexual harassment, and more on the murkier area of workplace discrimination. Read more at Fortune.

Don't bore us, get to the chorus: The Playlist
XPN | By Stephen Kallao
The Beatles (by David Redfern/Redfirns), Stevie Nicks (by Michael Ochs Archives), Chic (by Frazer Harrison)
In the music industry world, there's a longstanding phrase: "Don't bore us — get to the chorus!" Perhaps said best by Dave Grohl while giving Tenacious D's Kyle Gass a songwriting lesson... "It's chorus, chorus... pre-chorus, chorus... verse (kinda), chorus, pre-chorus, chorus, chorus... chorus, finale, chorus... don't bore us, get to the chorus!"
And the songs in this playlist got the assignment!
Modern music can be adventurous, challenging and unique — and where the chorus comes doesn't matter. But today, we're celebrating the songs that hit you with their best shot, right at the front of the song. Songs from artists who knew they had something good on their hands and wanted you to hear it first. Songs that start with the chorus.

I am going to give The Clockwork Dynasty by Daniel H. Wilson 4.5/5 stars. It was a work of art. I really enjoyed his style and how the characters seemed so lifelike and developed throughout the book. Read my review to find out why I loved this book so much.

I'm going to give Little & Lion by Brandy Colbert 2.5/5 stars. Part of me finds it slightly offensive, another part of me finds it to be slightly inappropriate for the audience that it is targeted towards, and another part of me thinks that the story could have been better constructed.

September 11, 2016 11:35 pm By Neil Leave a Comment
Game One Hundred Forty-Two – Cubs 9, Astros 5
WP – Jake Arrieta (17-6) LP – Mike Fiers (10-7) Save – None
Six different Cubs drove in runs and the Cubs led 9-1 after four innings. Jake Arrieta was sharp for five innings before running into trouble in the sixth and giving up a pair of runs. Justin Grimm recorded the final two outs in the sixth. After two scoreless innings, Trevor Cahill served up back-to-back homers in the ninth. Travis Wood retired the three batters he faced in the ninth. And the Cubs beat the Astros on Sunday night to take the series.
The Cubs played a complete game Sunday in the series finale with the Astros. The offense jumped on Mike Fiers early and scored in each of the first four innings. The Cubs defense made all of the plays behind Jake Arrieta and the baserunning was simply spectacular.
Kris Bryant (1-for-5 with a double and a RBI) drove in Dexter Fowler (1-for-2 with a doubles, three walks and a run scored) with a double in the first inning. The Cubs scored two runs in the second on a sac fly from David Ross (0-for-3 with a sac fly RBI) and a wild pitch from Mike Fiers. The Cubs put the game away with a four-run third inning.
Jorge Soler (1-for-5 with a home run) launched a solo home run. Javier Baez (2-for-4 with two runs scored and a RBI) singled in a run. And Albert Almora Jr. (1-for-4 with two RBI) drove in two with a two-out bloop single to center.
Addison Russell (3-for-4 with a home run, three runs scored and two RBI) launched a two-run homer in the fourth, his 20th of the year, that capped the scoring for the Cubs. Russell's home run ended up on the train tracks beyond the left field wall.
The Cubs scored nine runs on 10 hits with four walks and 11 strikeouts. Six different Cubs had RBI on Sunday.
Jake Arrieta was really sharp in the first five innings. Arrieta allowed one run on two hits and seemed to find a rhythm with David Ross. The only mistake Arrieta made was a solo homer to Jose Altuve in the fourth. Arrieta made 74 pitches, 42 for strikes in five innings.
Arrieta lost it in the sixth and gave up two runs while recording only one out. Arrieta threw two wild pitches and hit a batter in the inning that led to the two runs.
Jake Arrieta left the game with two on and one down in the sixth with the Cubs leading 9-3. Justin Grimm loaded the bases before getting out of the jam with two fly balls to Dexter Fowler in center field.
Jake Arrieta allowed three runs, all earned, on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts. Arrieta hit a batter, made two wild pitches, and needed 88 pitches, 49 for strikes, to complete 5 1/3 innings.
Trevor Cahill faced the minimum in the seventh and pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning. Joe Maddon sent him back out for the ninth. Cahill made two pitches in the ninth, one to Yulieski Gurriel and the other to Evan Gattis and both were hit out of the park. Maddon had to use Travis Wood in the ninth for the final three outs.
The Cubs defense was outstanding once again. David Ross, Ben Zobrist, Addison Russell, Anthony Rizzo, Albert Almora Jr., Javier Baez and Kris Bryant all turned in web gem-type plays Sunday night on the World Wide Leader.
By winning the series and taking two of three from the Astros, the Cubs finished the regular season 15-5 against the American League.
Dexter Fowler scored the first run of the game on a double from Kris Bryant. Fowler worked a walk after falling behind Fiers 1-2 early in the at-bat. Bryant doubled to the left field corner, and Fowler scored. Anthony Rizzo flied out to right. Bryant tagged and went to third on Rizzo's productive out. Soler grounded out to short and Zobrist flied out to right to end the inning.
The Cubs scored one run in the first, but it felt like it should have been more.
Jake Arrieta issued a leadoff walk to George Springer but ended up facing the minimum. David Ross threw out Springer at second trying to advance on a ball in the dirt.
The Cubs went back to work against Mike Fiers in the second inning. Addison Russell singled to left. Javier Baez singled to right center. Russell went to third and scored on a sac fly to right from David Ross. Baez tagged and moved to second on the play, 2-0 Cubs. Almora Jr. lined out to third. Yulieski Gurriel tried to double off Baez from second base, threw the ball in right field and Baez moved to third with two outs. And that was a huge mistake. Fiers uncorked a wild pitch on a 1-1 offering to Fowler. Baez scored, 3-0 Cubs. Fowler doubled to right and was stranded after Bryant popped out to third base.
Jake Arrieta hung a zero on the board in the second. Carlos Correa led off the inning with a single to right. Arrieta kept the ball down, pounded the zone and retired the next three batters he faced.
At the end of two complete, the Cubs led 3-0.
The Cubs kept swinging in the third inning and knocked Mike Fiers out of the game. Jorge Soler launched a solo homer (2-2 pitch) to deep left center and gave the Cubs a 4-0 lead. Ben Zobrist followed with a walk and moved to second on a bloop single to left by Addison Russell. Javier Baez singled to center, Zobrist scored, 5-0 Cubs. A.J. Hinch decided that was enough for Mike Fiers and went to his pen for Jandel Gustave with runners on first and second with one out.
David Ross fouled out to Astros' first baseman Marwin Gonzalez down the right field line. Gonzalez made a juggling catch with his back to the infield. Russell and Baez tagged and went to second and third on the play.
Albert Almora Jr. blooped a single to center. Jake Marisnick broke back and could not run in fast enough to make up for his mistake. With two outs, Russell and Baez scored easily, 7-0 Cubs. Fowler walked and Bryant was caught looking to end the inning.
Jake Arrieta was sharp in the third, 1-2-3 and the Cubs led 7-0 after three innings.
The Cubs made it a 9-0 lead in the fourth. Anthony Rizzo singled to right and was on first base when Addison Russell unloaded. Russell launched his 20th homer of the season, a two-run shot that ended up on the train tracks in left.
The Astros started chipping into the Cubs lead in the fourth. Jose Altuve lined a solo homer with one out. It was just the second hit for the Astros off Arrieta, 9-1 Cubs. Arrieta did not allow another hit in the fourth and pitched a three-up, three-down fifth inning.
The Cubs took a 9-1 lead into the sixth.
After the Cubs went down in order in the sixth against James Hoyt, the Astros took advantage of Arrieta's lack of command in the bottom of the inning.
Arrieta hit George Springer with one out in the sixth. And he could not recover. Alex Bregman followed with a double off the scoreboard in left, Springer scored and made it a 9-2 game. Jose Altuve singled to left. Bregman held at third with one out. A wild pitch allowed Bregman to score, 9-3 Cubs. Altuve went to second. Another wild pitch put Altuve on third. Arrieta walked A.J. Reed … and Maddon went to his bullpen.
Justin Grimm replaced Arrieta with runners on the corners and one out. Grimm threw a wild pitch, Reed went to second. Grimm walked Gurriel and the bases were loaded with one out. Gattis flied out to shallow center on a 0-2 pitch. And Colby Rasmus flied out to Fowler in center (2-1 pitch) to end the inning.
After six complete, the Cubs led 9-3.
The Cubs were unable to get a hit after the fourth inning, much less add on to the lead against the Astros' pen. Trevor Cahill pitched two scoreless innings and was sent out for the ninth.
With the Cubs leading by six runs, Cahill served up back-to-back homers on consecutive pitches to start the ninth to Yulieski Gurriel and Evan Gattis. The Astros cut the Cubs lead to 9-5 and Maddon went to his pen for Travis Wood.
Travis Wood locked down the win by retiring Hernandez (flyout to right), Gonzalez (swinging strikeout) and Marisnick (grounder to third) to end the game.
With Sunday's win (12-11 on Sundays in 2016), the Cubs improved to 91-51 on the season.
• Box Score from Yahoo Sports
The Cubs open a three-game series on Monday night (7:15pm CDT) in St. Louis. Kyle Hendricks is scheduled to face Mike Leake.

I ordered the size small. Item fits me very well and is warm and cozy.
Absolutely love this vest! It's soft, stylish, and so comfortable! Goes great with jeans.
This vest is lightweight and warm, exactly what I was looking for. I have been wearing it almost daily during this weird spring weather! It has washed well and is a great vest!
This is lightweight and comfy. I'm excited to wear it this fall.
I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but I love it. It is very well made.


Perfect for sewing leggings/swimmers hems and waistband. Optionally used for top stitching bindings (band binding option) for skater dress.
Twin needles can be used in either size according to your preference, they both perform the same function it is just whatever you prefer visually.
I like narrow (2.5mm) hems for leggings and wide (4.0) hems for waistbands. Same thing for swimmers, I prefer the narrow for leg finishing and wide for waistbands. The narrower needle will give less tunneling between stitches on lighter weight fabrics.

Matric pupil collapses and dies at school
A matric pupil collapsed and died during a physical training session at Liverpool High School in Benoni on the East Rand on Thursday, the Gauteng education department has confirmed. The department said it was saddened by the incident. "A Grade 12 learner collapsed during physical training at Liverpool High School in Actonville. Unfortunately, the learner was certified dead," said department spokesperson Steve Mabona. He said education MEC Panyaza Lesufi had visited the school to convey his condolences. Counselling would be provided. "Our psychosocial unit will be dispatched to the school [on Friday] for necessary counselling," said Mabona.
Varsity wins bid to ban protesting students
The Durban High Court has granted the Durban University of Technology (DUT) a temporary interdict barring students from protesting near any of its campuses. The university filed the urgent interdict on Wednesday against 22 respondents, including the university's entire student representative council (SRC), the EFF Student Command as well as all registered students. This follows three weeks of disruptions at the five Durban campuses. The order, which both the university and the respondents consented to, stated states that students will not be allowed to protest or march within 150m of the university or incite violence. Sesiyanda Godlimpi, president of the EFFSC-led SRC said this was an attempt by the university to silence students. The interdict was extended until March 8, by which date responding affidavits must be filed.
SA to extradite Mozambique's ex-finance minister
SA will extradite Mozambique's ex-finance minister Manuel Chang, held in a Johannesburg jail since December on a US-issued international arrest warrant, a respected news site reported on Thursday. Chang, 63, was arrested at Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport on December 29 over his alleged involvement in $2bn of fraudulent loans to Mozambican state firms. His own government issued an extradition request for Chang on suspicion of financial misconduct. Last week, he lost a court bid to be freed on bail. Now SA's foreign minister Lindiwe Sisulu has said Chang will be handed over to Maputo "to be tried", she told the Daily Maverick. "We believe that is the easiest thing for everybody. "As soon as we are done with the Interpol case, we will allow Mozambique to have their former minister back." The process would be "expedited". Chang is due back in court in Johannesburg on February 26.
PE dad and baby killed in suspected hit
A Port Elizabeth father and his seven-month-old daughter were shot and killed in their bed in a suspected hit. Siyabulela Vena, 40, was shot a number of times and his daughter Asesakhe was shot more than twice, while they were lying in bed in their Soweto on Sea, Zwide, home. Asesakhe was lying between Vena and his 32-year-old girlfriend, who escaped unscathed. While the motive for the brutal murders remains unclear, police confirmed it was probably a targeted hit. This brings the number of people killed in apparent hit-style murders in Nelson Mandela Bay to 11 since late January. Police spokesperson Captain Andre Beetge said the attack occurred at about 10.20pm on Wednesday when the couple had just gone to bed. The motive had not been established. Police were alerted shortly after the shooting.
Surgeon uses knife, needle to save crash victim
A surgeon used a pocket knife and a basting needle to perform emergency surgery that saved the life of a road accident victim. Dr Wimpie Odendaal, who works at Netcare Blaauwberg Hospital in Cape Town, was in Port Elizabeth on holiday and was the first to arrive on the scene of an accident that left a motorcyclist critically injured. Odendaal and his doctor wife, Christa de Wit, realised the biker had a collapsed lung. Odendaal said he shouted to the gathered crowd to ask for a sharp object to open a hole between the man's ribs to release pressure. "I was offered a pocket knife, and had no other choice than to use … If not for this emergency intervention, the man would most likely have died within minutes." The patient's condition briefly improved, and Odendaal used a basting needle from a nearby householder to keep the hole in the patient's side open. Soon an ambulance arrived and the man was taken to hospital. According to Odendaal, the man spent several weeks in hospital recuperating.
Drumlines to replace shark nets at KZN beaches
The KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board will replace shark nets at certain beaches along the coastline with drumlines to reduce catches of harmless marine life such as dolphins and turtles. Greg Thompson, the board's head of operations, said that on March 1 drumlines would replace nets at all beaches between Westbrook on the north coast and Umgababa on the south. "The nets have been very effective in reducing the risk of shark attacks but there is an environmental cost. "Not only do the nets catch potentially dangerous sharks, they also catch certain shark species that pose no threat to bathers, as well as various species of dolphin, whale, ray turtle and, occasionally, large bony fish," said Thompson. A drumline consists of a single large baited hook, suspended from an anchored float, and forms an alternative method of fishing for potentially dangerous sharks.

Passengers bewail in-fright entertainment
Singapore Airlines insisted on Thursday that cameras on its planes' entertainment systems had been disabled after an outcry online from worried passengers who spotted the tiny lenses peering at them. Travellers raised the alarm on social media over the cameras at the bottom of seatback screens on a number of the Singapore flag carrier's newer aircraft. The airline confirmed that some of its latest in-flight entertainment systems did have fixed cameras, but assured passengers they had been disabled. "These cameras have been intended by the manufacturers for future developments," it added. – AFP
Nappies go the way of plastic bags
The Pacific nation of Vanuatu has announced plans to ban disposable nappies in a move it says will significantly reduce pollution. Foreign minister Ralph Regenvanu announced the ban this week, saying plastic cutlery, polystyrene cups, plastic drinks stirrers and types of food packaging would also be outlawed. He said research showed disposable nappies were the largest single item of household waste in the capital. Vanuatu is one of several Pacific nations severely affected by climate change and prides itself on showing environmental leadership. In 2018 it became one of the first countries in the world to ban single-use plastic bags. – AFP
Red-hot hit is Xi to hearts and minds
A propaganda app that puts China's powerful President Xi Jinping in anyone's pockets has become a hit in the country, with a helpful nudge from Communist Party officials. Millions have downloaded the app, which tracks the amount of time users spend browsing inspirational quotes from the Chinese leader and watching short videos of his speeches and travels. People are rewarded with points for sharing articles or answering quizzes on communist heroes, and one day they may be able to redeem their scores for gifts such as pastries and tablets. But it's not all fun and games. Some people say they felt pressured to download it. – AFP
La revolución begins with an 'e'
Custodians of the French language are reportedly on the verge of enacting a linguistic revolution by finally accepting that job titles may take the feminine form. For centuries, the Académie Française, created in 1635 to "fix the French language, giving it rules, rendering it pure and comprehensible by all", refused to allow words such as "professeur" (teacher) or ingénieur (engineer) to be "professeure" or "ingénieure". It argued that to add an "e" would "end up with proposals contrary to the spirit of the language". But the institution has now changed tack after it faced accusations of linguistic sexism. – © The Daily Telegraph
Zebras earn their stripes on the fly
A zebra's stripes are not just for camouflage, scientists have discovered, after finding that their patterned coats disorientate bloodsucking horseflies. Researchers at the University of Bristol tested whether flies were more likely to attack zebras or horses at stables in North Somerset, and found they landed on zebras 25% less often. Dr Martin How, a Royal Society research fellow in the School of Biological Sciences, said the stripes "disrupted the visual system of the horseflies". – © The Daily Telegraph
Trump and Kim put a little summit in the beer
Kim Jong Ale? Rock It, Man? Or how about a glass of Peace Negroniations? Bars in Vietnam's capital Hanoi are cashing in on the second summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un next week with special concoctions to mark the high-stakes diplomacy. "This beer was inspired by the pure streams of Mount Paektu between North Korea and China," Nguyen Thi Huong Anh, manager of Hanoi's Standing Bar, said of the Kim Jong Ale. The mountain is the official birthplace of the late North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il. Other enterprising businesses hope to cash in on the occasion include a barber who is offering free haircuts to anyone wanting to copy Trump and Kim's distinctive locks. - Reuters

Q: VBA - Extract data from mutliple files inside a folder and import to a single file I am new to VBA but i would like to tap on excel vba to enhance my work efficiency. Hence, i'm here to garner the helps from all the kind souls here.
The problem is as follow:
I have mutliple excel files in a network folder. The files share a similarity in the name covention but not the entire file name. Eg. a b c d e v19_01Nov2012, a b c d e v19_02Nov2012, a b c d e v19_05Nov2012 and etc.
These files have various worksheet, namely sheetA, sheetB and etc.
Next, i have a file "Nov2012.xlxs" that consolidate all the informations extracted from the above mentioned files located in a network folder.
This file have various worksheet, namely sheetA, sheetB and etc.
What i want to do:
I need to open each and every excel file in the network folder and extracts data in cell "B17" from worksheet "sheetA" to the Nov2012.xlxs worksheet "sheetA" cell "B2".
Something to note: the content in column A of the Nov2012.xlxs consist of all the date of Nov (eg. 01Nov2012, 02Nov2012 , 03Nov2012 and etc). When a b c d e v19_01Nov2012 is opened, then the data in cell "B17" from worksheet "sheetA" should be copied into Nov2012.xlxs row that contains "01Nov2012" from worksheet "sheetA" and cell "B2".
Currently i am working on this code:
Sub FolderCrawler()
FileType = "*.xls*" 'The file type to search for
FilePath = "C:\Nov\" 'The folder to search

Dim OutputCol As Variant
Dim Curr_File As Variant
Dim FldrWkbk As Workbook

OutputCol = 1 'The first row of the active sheet to start writing to
ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(3, OutputCol), Cells(3, OutputCol)) = FilePath & FileType

OutputCol = OutputCol + 1

Curr_File = Dir(FilePath & FileType)

Do Until Curr_File = ""
Set FldrWkbk = Workbooks.Open(FilePath & Curr_File, False, True) 'Open new data file
Sheets("sheetA").Range("B17").Copy 'Copy data from specific Range

'Move back to Master file
Workbooks("01Nov2012.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("sheetA").Cells(4, OutputCol).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

OutputCol = OutputCol + 1
FldrWkbk.Close SaveChanges:=False 'Close the data file

Curr_File = Dir 'Select Next File
Loop
Set FldrWkbk = Nothing
End Sub

Currently, I am encountering "Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range". Any idea why the problem is occuring?

A: I suspect you are losing your reference to the correct workbook when you switch between files. You probably need to refer to the workbook and not just the worksheet: FldrWkbk.Sheets("sheetA").Range("B17").Copy
That being said, is there a reason you need to copy/paste? I would avoid that if possible. Set a reference to the master file:
Dim masterBook As Workbook
Set masterBook = ThisWorkbook

Then, after you set your FldrWkbk, assign the value from the file in question back to the master file:
masterBook.Sheets("sheetA").Cells(4, OutputCol).Value = FldrWkbk.Sheets("sheetA").Range("B17").Value

This also avoids using the .Select and .Activate commands that cause many issues.

280. Shout (at the devil)
daron | June 26, 2012
The arena in Dallas was another hockey/basketball/concert venue, which seemed dull and boring compared to both Red Rocks and Arizona. The bus pulled into the parking lot and into the area fenced off for our vehicles with temporary chain link, the kind with slats through it so you can't really see, eight or ten feet high. It felt a little like pulling into a prison yard, a uniformed guard waving the bus through.
I could hear something as I carried the Ovation's case across the asphalt toward the back loading dock. Something too loud to be a radio or pre-recorded music played over a PA. Some kind of loud metal, two guitars… and two basses? Sounded like it, but maybe one track was prerecorded. It was too slow for thrash but too raw-edged for "arena" rock.
Chris was walking behind me. I turned around and said, "I think we have our answer."
"That Megaton?"
I shrugged. "Just guessing."
It was. They'd arrived hours earlier, done their set-up and decided to either rehearse or do some checking.
The second they stopped playing I heard something else loud and nerve-scraping. A shouted argument. I came around a corner into the arena proper and there was Louis, facing down not one but two men in white polo shirts. Two enormous men who before seeing I had no idea they made polo shirts in circus tents size.
One of them was in the middle of saying: "Don't give me that bullshit! Look, we were nice, we tried to make it worth your while, now move the hell away from the control board."
"Fucking hell I'm moving," Louis shouted back, so angry I barely recognized his voice.
I ran the last twenty yards to him and shouted myself. "What the hell is going on here?"
"So glad you could join us, Daron, my boy," Louis said, sounding almost Scottish at that moment, his volume dropping suddenly. "Please explain to these two gentlemen that it is nowhere in our contract to let them dictate their own lights."
"Listen you little cocksucker," the one of the two men with a bushy dark mustache said to Louis, ignoring me, "I signed that contract myself and it says you're responsible for providing the lights…"
"Providing, that's what I am."
"If you don't give me what I want–"
"You'll what?" I stepped between them. "Excuse me, but Louis is my employee."
"What are you, some kind of mickey-mouse-self-managed operation?" Mustache shot a glance at the guitar case in my hand.
"As a matter of fact, no, but I sign my own fucking contracts," I said. "Now, one more time, what's the problem here?"
The other fat man, this one chewing an end of an unlit cigar, spoke, trying not to shout but failing to keep from spraying a bit as he did. "We agreed to the terms to let you provide all the light equipment. That doesn't mean you get to… to… dominate it."
Louis sniggered behind me. I turned to him.
He shrugged. "Nowhere does it say I have to let them touch the rig. I never have before. Fuck's sake, I'm being paid to do both bands, don't you think that means I should be the one who does it?"
"I'm telling you," Cigar said to Mustache, "he's going to make our guys look like crap."
"No one, and I mean no one, looks like crap when I light 'em," Louis said, deeply offended.
Carynne to the rescue. Maybe. "Excuse me," she said, in that sweet voice I knew she was using to disarm them. "Could I talk with you guys a minute?"
"Of course," Louis said, but she meant the two fat men.
The three of them moved off several yards and I turned back to Louis. "Well?"
"They've been utter bastards since we arrived. They're brothers, and team manage Megaton. Bastards," he repeated.
On the stage the band was milling around–their band, I mean. I noted with some satisfaction it did look like two basses, as well as two guitars, drums, and a singer.
"Are you going to make them look like shit?" I asked Louis.
He gestured. "They already look like shit. I'll just light it up nice."
I did not laugh at that. No, I'm lying. I did. Which meant I had to wait a little while before I could try to introduce myself to the guys in that band, so I wouldn't be smirking at them weirdly.
They were done then for the moment anyway, and I met up with them backstage, after figuring out which room was ours. We'd been assigned to the locker room of some sport that wasn't in season then.
Colin was the one who told me, "This isn't supposed to be our room. We're supposed to have the other one, but they got here first and took it."
"Does it matter?" I asked. "What's the difference?"
"This is the visiting team locker room," he said. "They took the home team. And it's bigger."
"Well, duh," I said. "They are the home team, here. They're from Texas and they've got five guys on stage so they need the bigger room. Makes sense to me."
"Yeah, but… they shouldn't just take it without asking."
Just then Pete bellowed into the room. "Let's go, ladies, shake a bustle and hustle on out. We're late."
"Are we late?" I asked Colin.
"Maybe a little?" he answered with a shrug.
"If we are then I wouldn't have waited around for us to get here to take a locker room, either. It doesn't matter. Don't blow it all out of proportion," I told him, but I was already thinking about Louis and the manager brothers.
I didn't have time to think any more about it, though, as I got on the stage. Our crew had arrived before us and done a lot of the set-up. Someone must've done the drum set-up already, too. Or most of it. Chris adjusted the height of a few things while I noodled away at whatever was in the back of my head.
Haha, Eddie Van Halen's "Spanish Fly" solo. I moved it from there into Paul Simon's "One Trick Pony," but before the band could catch up to me I heard Petey in the monitor.
"Give me 'Candlelight,'" he was saying. "I need to calibrate on that."
I didn't answer other than to count off, and start playing.
(It's choose your own video today… one of "Shout" by Tears for Fears and one of "Shout at the Devil" by Motley Crue–from the Moscosw Peace Festival in 1989.)

There are a lot of dickheads in this business so you have to try to not let them get you down, and sometimes people just get off on the wrong foot and later you get along, but… man.

REVIEW: Wow! This is one of those stories I wish I had thought of. :D The plot is genius. It's heartbreaking and inspiring, and weird and familiar at the same time. As a wife and mother, I identified with Cadence and believed her struggle.
My husband is my soulmate now, but were we born soulmates? If life turned out just slightly differently for me, I imagine that I could have fallen in love with someone else. Or, perhaps not. Maybe we would have taken a different road to find each other, but have found each other in the end anyway.
That's the question that I was excited to have answered in book 2. Do we have soulmates? Is life supposed to turn out a certain way? Would Cadence take a different path and still end in the same place? Or would she have a different happy ending this time?
I also loved the extra heartbreaking complication of Melody. Love triangles are common in literature, but you don't often have such an important piece of the puzzle...a yet-to-be-born child that you've already met and fallen in love with.
I started the story worried that neither option would be a perfect happy ending for Cadence, and I was right that the conclusion wouldn't come easily. However, I was very satisfied with the ending. I know that's a tough challenge--getting characters in a really impossible situation, but still finding the light at the end of the tunnel. Really well done all around.
