Sometimes we all need a little help. If you are looking to help care for an injured or elderly loved one, you may not be able to do it all on your own. That is why personal care services are important. These services provide a range of services for your loved one. If you are looking for personal care services Greenwich CT options, here are the things you will need to look for.
The first aspect of any type of service like this that you should look for is what type of services they offer. Most services that are covered under the title personal care include companionship, transportation, homemaking, personal care, safety supervision and more. You will want to find a service that matches the needs of your love one so they can get the care they need while you are away.
Another aspect of choosing a personal care service is to know what the state requires each service and each person that works for the service to have. In most areas, a service will need to have employees that are insured and bonded so that they are protected as well as the people they are serving. Any good service will gladly provide you with this information upon request. If it is difficult to find, you may want to choose another service.
In most cases, a staff member from the personal care service will be entering your loved one's home everyday, spending time with them while assisting them. Making sure that personalities are compatible is important, not only for the safety of your loved one, but also for their level of happiness. Asking for help is hard in the first place–choosing the right person for the job will only make it easier.

Current: Digital Marketing Placement Hannah
Hannah's Digital Marketing Placement
Hannah spent a year with us at Reflect Digital while at university, here's a summary of her year Placement.
Who are you and what do you do?
Hey, I'm Hannah - I'm currently studying Advertising and Marketing Comms at De Montfort University but have undertaken a year's Digital Marketing placement at Reflect Digital! My role for the year has been Digital Marketing and Accounts Executive.
Why digital marketing?
I've always been interested in marketing, especially how it is so influential on buyer behaviour and the impact it has on individuals behaviours, norms and values. However, I've never really known the full extent of digital marketing until coming to Reflect Digital. It's been great to focus on Search Engine Optimisation for the year and get a true understanding of how to rank well in Google search engine results pages.
Why Reflect Digital?
Reflect Digital is like one big family. It's such a great environment to be in - everyone is extremely friendly, so passionate about their job and proud to work for a great organisation. It's the drive, the passion and determination in the office which really makes it worth coming to work each day.
What's the biggest thing you've learnt?
It's hard to narrow it down to just one thing. My 15 months at Reflect Digital have been a continual learning process. From learning how to manage a client account to understanding how to improve the technical SEO elements of a site. I've come away from my placement year with so much knowledge and understanding of the SEO world.
Biggest challenges?
My biggest challenges this year have been understanding the technical SEO elements and web development jargon. I've tried to learn more about the development side of things for a better understanding of everything as a whole, and to break down the language barrier so we can work in unison with a web development team to achieve a better outcome.
My time at Reflect Digital has been a big eye-opener about the types of roles available in Digital Marketing. It's reaffirmed that I want to pursue a career in Digital Marketing and would love to focus on improving my skills and knowledge in SEO further.

Lord Jeffery Archer , the best-selling novelist and self-proclaimed candidate for the Conservative Party chairmanship, was last night revealed to be among a number of people under investigation by the Department of Trade and Industry over alleged insider dealing.
DTI-appointed inspectors are looking at alleged share purchases in Anglia Television in January - around the time the company agreed a takeover bid by MAI plc, the owners of Meridien TV.
Mary Archer , the peer's wife, was a non-executive director of Anglia Television at the time.
The DTI usually refuses to comment on share investigations but last night, in a statement, said: 'We feel it right to confirm that following a report from the Stock Exchange concerning certain transactions close to the announcement on January 18, 1994, of an agreed bid from MAI plc for Anglia Television Group plc, the Secretary of State appointed two inspectors on February 8, 1994, to investigate possible insider dealing contraventions by certain individuals including Lord Archer .
'This matter is being handled in accordance with normal practice in such cases. The inspectors are an accountant and a lawyer independent of the department, and the Secretary of State is now waiting to receive their report.
It is known that following the Anglia share activity, a Stock Exchange inquiry began. The results of this investigation were passed to the DTI which, under the terms of the Companies Act, has responsibility for formally investigating allegations of insider trading and the right to pursue cases if it finds any evidence of wrongdoing.
It is illegal for anyone to use 'inside' information about a company to profit from buying or selling its shares. People are 'insiders' if they have access to information which has not been made available to all investors.
Shares in ITV companies had risen sharply following an announcement by the Heritage Secretary, Peter Brooke, in November 1993 that he was prepared to relax ownership rules which had previously prevented mergers between large broadcasters. Shares in likely takeover targets such as Anglia were favoured by media industry analysts in the City who predicted that the companies would be valued highly by predators. LWT was later taken over by Granada and Central merged with Carlton.
Anglia Television accepted the £292 million takeover bid from MAI on January 18. Anglia shares jumped 180p to 664p, and MAI gained 31p to 315p.
Lord Archer , whose best-selling novels have made him a multi-millionaire, has made no secret of his ambition to become party chairman, despite senior Tories' concern about his erratic political career. He has also expressed interest in taking a post in the National Heritage department and is understood to have threatened privately to give up politics if Mr Major does not give him a job and sign a new multi-million pound book deal with an American publisher instead.
Jeffrey Archer was one of the youngest Tory MPs when he was elected Member for Louth in 1969 but he resigned his seat five years later after losing most of his money in a business venture, only to revive his fortunes by writing the best-seller Not a Penny More Not a Penny Less.
Politically rehabilitated by Margaret Thatcher, he was made deputy chairman of the Tory party in 1985, only to resign a year later after allegations in a Sunday tabloid newspaper that he had paid money to a prostitute. He subsequently won substantial damages in a celebrated libel case in the High Court.
One of the most flamboyant characters in the Conservative Party and close to both Lady Thatcher and John Major, he has been an assiduous campaigner for the party and has won widespread admiration for his resilience and ebullience.
Lord Archer 's name has been widely touted as a successor to Sir Norman Fowler for the party chairmanship and he has let it be known that he would like 'a proper job'.

How a Simple Design Choice Helped Nepal
As the country recovers from the April earthquake, there's one urban planning element global health advocates should note.
M. Sophia Newman October 30, 2015

What really saves lives in an earthquake? Six months ago this week, a massive temblor in Nepal made that question seem urgent. Hundreds of thousands were affected. According to recent USAID numbers, nearly 9,000 perished and nearly one million homes were damaged or destroyed.
Yet the country's Kathmandu Valley today reveals a truth obscured in many reports of the quake and its aftermath. Despite a tremendous toll on human health, well-being and economy, a high percentage of local buildings are intact. Even among Nepal's most classical architecture — an unusually high proportion of which fell, hurting or killing the humans within — there are structures standing in pristine condition, safe havens for the last earthquake or perhaps the next one.
If preventing deaths is a part of global health's reason for being, Nepal — in particular, why many buildings in the historic city of Bhaktapur still stand — seems to highlight that urban planning is an essential part of the answer.
Parts of bucolic Bhaktapur are classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area endured major damage in the quake; some 388 locals died. Brick buildings dating as far back as the 12th century crumbled. Rebuilding will take years. But amid homes propped up with metal and wood poles, piles of salvaged bricks and outright rubble heaps, there are structures — ones in the same ancient style as the rest of the town — without a scratch.
What made the difference? A local guide named Rabin Bharati, whose own house was destroyed in the earthquake, says a big part of the answer is cement. The Bhimsen Temple, for example, looks great — which seems improbable, given its 1500s-era construction date. Bharati explains that Bhimsen and several other structures had undergone major restorations in the few years prior to the quake. Workmen had maintained every aspect of the originals, from the dimensions to the brick construction to ornate decorative carvings — with the exception of the clay traditionally used to hold bricks in place. This was replaced with modern cement, which, Bharati says, was able to resist the shearing forces of the temblor.
If simple, that materials change is widespread. A recent report from the Denver-headquartered Build Change, a nonprofit that focuses on earthquake and typhoon resilience, notes many structures in Nepal use "either cement or mud mortar, with styles varying based on location and building age." Kishore Kumar Jha of the Nepal Engineering Association confirms that, when properly mixed, using cement mortar increases structural soundness.
It is by no means the only way to improve safety. The Build Change report notes that better brickwork, steel reinforcement and other modern techniques helped buildings withstand the quake. Jha cites good construction practices and general maintenance of older buildings. Even in Bhaktapur, where conserving traditional forms meant eschewing some of the strongest safety standards, "they don't have to go for the reinforced concrete" that defines modern styles, Jha says. Simple shifts made a life-and-death difference — even despite their outward irrelevance to human health.
Architectural improvement can also help avoid memorable trauma for the living. Improved building strength explains the 2015 earthquake's differences from the 1934 Nepal-Bihar earthquake, which destroyed many more buildings and killed many more people. Bhaktapur resident Sanumaya Kswalapala, who is 89, remembers that earthquake, which occurred when she was eight. With her grandson translating, she explains, "There was much more damage than in this time … when they [her family] come back to the home, minimal houses were [standing], and we were working at taking the dead bodies [out] to the side."
However slight the move from clay to concrete might seem, and however big the impact, the preponderance of well-constructed buildings could be considered a little surprising. Not only is Bhaktapur a place of unchanging ancient traditions against a tide of steady modernization, but also in standing strong, those buildings in Nepal defied reasonable expectations for South Asia.
"If it had been Dhaka," a friend says in a conversation about the earthquake, "it would have been every other building." In addition to spending this year in Nepal, she lived for three years in Dhaka, Bangladesh. That city is a short flight from Kathmandu, but geographical closeness — and a shared vulnerability to seismological activity — does not equate to similar building standards.
Inescapable examples have illustrated Dhaka's vulnerability. On April 24, 2013, Rana Plaza, a factory constructed to illegal height on an unstable foundation with improperly mixed concrete, collapsed with well over 3,000 workers inside. About 1,129 people died and many were injured in an incident that one local resident described as "like an earthquake has struck here." (The infamous collapse triggered global action, and a subsequent inspection process of local garment factories discovered at least 30 more structures that required immediate, permanent closure. More recently, over 40 Rana Plaza owners, managers and engineers have been charged with murder.)
Building safety is not just Bangladesh's problem. In April 2013, an apartment house in Thane, Maharashtra, India, fell down, leaving 74 dead. Like Rana Plaza, that structure had been illegally built and wasn't up to code. In the days after that incident, India's Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation described 19 million households in similarly precarious structures. Public recognition of the problem led to efforts at changing policy and practice. The change couldn't come fast enough: That August, another building in Mumbai collapsed, killing 12.
With those smaller-scale disasters in mind, one would imagine a massive earthquake in Nepal could have been extremely deadly. In truth, doing better than Nepal has done is possible; in earthquakes in Chile and Japan, safety standards ensured a death toll of virtually zero — far better than Nepal's 9,000 dead. According to Build Change, "While the people of Nepal are committed to building back … safer, earthquake-resistant structures, the construction practices commonly used will require change to accomplish this."
Such change has been happening: The Nepal Society of Earthquake Technology has been training informally employed stone masons in earthquake-safe building since 1999. Without that effort, the death toll might have been even higher.
Still, the lesson to make small but crucial changes remains relevant across South and Central Asia today. And reminders to implement it are never far off. Just this Monday, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake hit northern Afghanistan, sending reverberations into Tajikistan, Pakistan and India. About 275 people died, and thousands of buildings crumbled.

When I was in high school, one of my classmates had this kind of unstoppable confidence. No matter how badly he messed up on his exams or how many questions he got wrong in class, he just kept sailing along as if nothing bad had happened. This would continually astound me. In contrast, I was raised to aim for perfection in everything I did. It was kind of an unspoken requirement in my family for being an upstanding and acceptable member of society. In this post I will talk about "5 Secrets to Self-Trust That Powers Your Success".
Fast forward twenty years to my adulthood. I have finally come to realize that striving for perfection is fine, as long as it does not sabotage my ability to trust myself. After all self-trust is key to the kind of personal power that is critical to earning the respect of others and creating personal and professional success.
You may be familiar with the old acronym–"F.E.A.R.: false evidence appearing real". Bottom line: sometimes the evidence is real and is actually our intuition giving us a big "Stop" sign. Powering our way through it can sometimes lead to a head-on collision or equally miserable, impostor syndrome.
5) Above all, be compassionate with yourself. Self-trust begins with self-honoring, respecting one's inner needs and voice and letting them guide your in-the-moment decision making. This starts with knowing deep inside –emotionally, not just intellectually–that you deserve to honor what you really need…and you don't have to be a genius, workaholic, or people-pleaser to everyone to get it. If you are able to do just this one thing all the time, you will have gained the respect of many people, not least of whom is yourself.
So that's it, my 5 secrets for developing self-trust. I hope you found these tips helpful. What is your secret to self-trust? I would love to hear about it. Please leave your comments below. And you may also want to read our recent blog on Is Your Procrastination a Blessing or a Curse?

From Pompeii to Gaza: The History of Street Art as a Voice for the People
Article by SA Rogers, filed under Street Art & Graffiti in the Art category
Over the past half-century, street art has evolved from squiggled lettering on subway cars to a cultural force practiced in virtually every corner of the globe. It began unsanctioned and disdained, and though some prominent street artists now sell their work for millions behind gallery doors, it remains firmly rooted in counterculture, simultaneously celebrated and dismissed. What separates it from merely decorative murals is its message, even if it doesn't appear to be saying anything at all: its very existence empowers people with little to no voice in society.
Messages By the People, For the People
Ancient Roman Graffiti from Pompeii
As a movement, modern street art is primarily rooted in the 20th century, but of course, art and text scrawled on public surfaces has existed far longer than that. From cave paintings and engraved Arabic rock graffiti to inscriptions written by ancient tourists in the tomb of Ramesses VI, humans have always sought to leave their mark on the world in this form. Even the ancient Romans used graffiti to declare their love, insult each other and ridicule their leaders, with many examples unearthed in the ruins of Pompeii.
This kind of free, uncensored expression using the city walls as a canvas has always been classified as vandalism by those seeking to uphold both order and distinctions of class. Pristine paint jobs convey a message of their own: "We have things under control here. We're civilized." Beneath that often lies a concerted effort to suppress the urban poor and their frustrations, especially in times of transition when their cities begin to rapidly change, leaving them behind. To scrawl a message on a wall is to speak back to authority in a public forum and foment a sense of solidarity with those in similar positions.
"America Tropicál" by David Alfaro Siquerios, 1932, Los Angeles
Street art has flourished in various forms throughout the world, often as an expression of identity with a defiant political slant. Movimiento Muralista Mexicano, the Mexican street art movement founded in the 1920s by Diego Rivera, Clemente Orozco and David Siqueiros popularized political murals in a wave that soon spread throughout Latin America and the United States. One notable early example is the anti-imperialist "America Tropical" mural on Olvera Street in Los Angeles, depicting a crucified Chicano besieged by an eagle representing America. The piece, completed in 1932 by Siqueiros, was subsequently covered up and then restored.
During World War II, Nazis used graffiti to spread propaganda, but more often, it was a tool of resistance. A nonviolent German antifascist group called The White Rose conducted an anonymous leaflet and graffiti campaign calling for active opposition to Hitler's regime, using tin stencils to write slogans like "Down with Hitler" and "Freedom" on the walls of buildings throughout Munich before their arrest by the Gestapo in 1943. One of the group's leaders was Sophie Scholl, who lamented just before her execution at age 21, "Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go. But what does my death matter, if through us thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?"
Pushing the Boundaries and Changing Perceptions
Tag by Lady Pink, 1994, on a NYC Freight Train
By the 1970s in New York City, street art was often seen as a symptom of economic sickness, taking over train cars, brick facades, concrete walls and other surfaces in a period of great unrest. The city was bankrupt, crime rates skyrocketed, unemployment topped ten percent and there was at least one abandoned building on every block. As over a million residents fled, those who were left behind weathered the storm together.
All five boroughs and beyond became one big art studio, whether you were a poet in Chelsea or a poor youth from Queens channeling your frustrations and boredom through a can of paint. Artists like Taki 183, Tracy 168, Dondi, Lady Pink, Zephyr, Revolt and Seen tagged every imaginable surface in a free-for-all that encouraged experimentation and competition. In the meantime, as the burgeoning crack epidemic, street gangs and other symptoms of poverty and oppression became associated with graffiti, penalties grew more severe. The city's "war on graffiti" waged on – but it wasn't long before street art began to enter the mainstream, changing the game.
Profit I by Jean-Michel Basquiat, 1982
A mural by Keith Haring
Artists with roots in street art who gained credibility in the art world gave outsiders a new perspective on the movement, bringing marginalized identities to an institution that's overwhelmingly white, straight and wealthy. Jean-Michel Basquiat, an American artist of Haitian and Puerto Rican descent, and Keith Haring, a gay man who spent much of his career working to raise awareness about AIDS before dying of AIDS-related complications himself in 1990, are two notable examples.
The distinctions between graffiti and art began to blur, and the scope of expression began to widen as new forms of media were introduced. Commissions to produce sanctioned murals in public spaces multiplied, though many artists choose to remain on the dark side of the law on principle. Artists like Shepard Fairey spun early experiments with street art into business empires, and some cities began to legalize graffiti art and even encourage it.
Street Art as a Catalyst for Change
The internet helped sweep the world of street art from its anarchic subcultural origins to a big money industry, for better or worse. It's more accessible and widely viewed than ever, with the audience for any given piece going from the hundreds that may have passed it on the street to, potentially, millions. The fight over its commercialization is ongoing – just look at any recent Banksy-related stories for confirmation – but its anti-establishment spirit lives on.
Today, street art campaigns by artists like Banksy, JR, BLU, ROA and many more make statements about climate change, environmental degradation, human trafficking, capitalism, fascism and hope in times of darkness. There's still a perpetual battle between those who would speak to the world through street art and those who would silence them – exemplified by Egypt's 2011 revolution, the artists who plastered streets like Mohamad Mahmoud with political works and the military dictatorship that has since clamped back down on the region.
Photographic Mural in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by JR
Street art in Gaza by Banksy
In Gaza, Banksy is just the most well-known of many artists to create visual public commentaries on the injustice that takes place there every day. In Brazil, artists like MurOne and Haas&Hahn work to invigorate the poorest favelas with graphic murals and bring international attention to dilapidated and under-served neighborhoods.
A mural by Mexican street art collective Lapiztola
Left Bank Street Art Gaza via Times of Israel
Just take a walk through your own neighborhood to find signs of street art's immediacy and vitality and its ability to instantly respond to world events through a diverse variety of perspectives. As much as it (and the world) has changed over the past century, street art remains one of the most democratic and resilient means of expression, and its value can't be overstated.

Current: Ireland: The Place to do Business
Ireland: The Place to do Business
Pearse Trust Limited, Dublin, Ireland
Ireland is recognised as one of the most attractive locations for international companies to access the EU internal market.
Increased Transparency at Hear…
Many of the world's biggest and most successful companies across a range of industry sectors have chosen to establish considerable operations in Ireland. These companies are involved in a wide range of activities and sectors including technology, pharmaceuticals, biosciences, financial services and manufacturing. It is no surprise that Ireland has been placed fourth in Forbes' annual Best Countries for Business List. Ireland's attractiveness as an investment location can be attributed to the positive approach of the Government to the promotion of inward investment, its membership of the European Union (EU), the ease of establishing a foreign-owned limited liability company, a very favourable corporate tax rate and a skilled and flexible labour pool.
Establishing a Company
In the modern business world, incorporating a company and the legal structure that an entity takes is a critical decision. The 2010 World Bank Investing across Borders report states that Ireland has 'one of the simplest and shortest processes' to establish a foreign-owned limited liability company. The correct structure can provide substantial advantages for those undertaking commercial affairs. These advantages include limited liability, separate corporate personality, and possible advantageous taxation. The Companies Act 2014 'The Act' provides for a number of distinct corporate entities such as private companies limited by shares; private companies limited by guarantee and having a share capital; companies limited by guarantee without a share capital; public companies and private and public unlimited companies.
The most common type of companies formed in Ireland are private companies limited by shares. The Act created two types of private company limited by shares, the Designated Activity Company (DAC) and the Private Company Limited by Shares (LTD). The DAC bears a significant resemblance to the private company limited by shares which existed under the previous Companies Acts of 1963 - 2013. Some types of companies such as a licensed bank or a company that has debt securities listed or admitted to trading on a market must register as a DAC.
The LTD company type is more commonly adopted by companies in Ireland. The LTD benefits from most of the innovations introduced by the Act intended to simplify their administration. The LTD is governed by a single, simplified constitutional document without an objects clause which eliminates the restrictive nature of company objects. Although the LTD can have an authorized share capital, it is not a necessary requirement and it may choose to have no authorized share capital. A LTD company can have a minimum of one Direct
Irish tax law offers many taxation benefits to companies wishing to set up operations in Ireland. The primary benefit, from a tax perspective of doing business in Ireland, is Ireland's standard corporation tax rate of 12.5 per cent. We examine the Irish tax advantages with regard to the setting up of either a trading or holding company in Ireland.
Irish Trading Structure
Low rate of Irish corporation tax
Ireland has a standard rate of corporation tax (CT) for Irish companies of 12.5 per cent for all trading income. A higher rate of 25 per cent applies to foreign income, passive income such as interest, rental and other non-trading income.
Where an Irish company is managed and controlled in Ireland and generates the requisite level of substance in Ireland, the Irish CT rate of 12.5 per cent will apply to the company's trading profits. The requisite level of substance is normally achieved through the Irish company satisfying a number of issues, including, but not limited to the setting up of an office situate in Ireland, to generate a physical presence in Ireland and also the employment of a suitably skilled Irish employee to carry out the company's key management activities. Where the appropriate level of substance is not achieved by the Irish company, the Irish CT rate of 25 per cent will apply to the Irish company's trading profits.
Acquisition of intellectual property for trading purposes
The Irish tax regime provides a tax deduction for the capital cost of acquiring specified intangible assets which are used for the purposes of a company's trade. The term 'specified intangible assets' is widely defined and includes, but is not limited to; patents, trademarks, licences, copyrights, computer software, brands, industrial know-how, and goodwill directly attributable to any of these intangible assets. Furthermore, Irish tax legislation provides for a Stamp Duty exemption on the acquisition of intellectual property.
Knowledge Development Box
The Finance Act 2015 introduced the Knowledge Development Box (KDB) into Irish tax legislation. Under the KDB, trading profits earned by an Irish company from patented inventions and copyrighted software are to be taxed at a rate of 6.25 per cent to the extent that those profits are related to any research and development (R&D) undertaken by the company.
In instances where a company trading in Ireland incurs expenditure on R&D activities within Ireland (or within the EEA) it shall be entitled to a tax credit of 25 per cent in respect of that expenditure. This is in addition to the normal tax deduction of 12.5 per cent obtained for the R&D expenditure, i.e. the company effectively obtains an overall 37.5 per cent tax deduction for the R&D expenditure.
Example for illustrative purposes:
Case: Irish company with a period end of 31 December
During 2017 the Irish company will incur qualifying R&D expenditure on salaries and general overheads of €1,000,000.
The company's taxable profits for the period ending 31 December 2017 after an allowable tax deduction for the R&D expenditure of €1,000,000 will be €4,000,000.
The company's taxable profits of €4,000,000 will give rise to a corporation tax liability of €500,000, (i.e. €4,000,000 at 12.5 per cent) for 2017 before the deduction of the R&D credit.
The R&D credit of 25 per cent will be calculated on the R&D spend of €1,000,000. This results in a R&D credit of €250,000.
This R&D credit can be deducted from the corporation tax liability of the company, i.e. €500,000. This will result in a revised corporation tax liability of €250,000
The R&D credit of 25 per cent, together with the corporation tax deduction allowed for the R&D expenditure of €1,000,000 results in a total tax saving for the Irish company of 37.5 per cent, i.e. €375,000 in 2017.
Irish Transfer Pricing Regime
Ireland has introduced a transfer-pricing regime. However, it only applies to trading transactions and there is a generous exemption for 'small and medium sized' companies.
Irish Holding Company Structure
Ireland is considered to be a very attractive holding company location, the main benefits of which include:
Favourable Irish tax treatment of dividend income.
No Irish dividend withholding tax on dividends from the Irish holding company to EU / tax treaty countries.
No Irish capital gains tax on disposal of shareholdings in qualifying subsidiaries.
Favourable Irish tax treatment for interest on qualifying borrowings.
No thin capitalization provisions.
No controlled foreign corporation rules.
Extensive tax treaty network.
Pro-Business Infrastructure
The combination of the youngest population in Europe, with one third of the population under 25 years old and high standards in education has meant that, while companies may locate here initially for low corporation tax, they continue to invest in Ireland because of the young, talented workforce. The Irish education system ranks in the top ten countries in the world and according to the OECD, 52 per cent of 25-34 year olds have a third level qualification, 10 per cent higher than the OECD average. The IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook 2016 lists Ireland as the first for flexibility and adaptability of workforce and third most productive workforce in the world. The Special Assignee Relief Programme provides for relief from income tax for staff assigned from abroad to work in Ireland and can facilitate key personnel and the business in moving to Ireland.
The IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook 2016 ranks Ireland very favourably in a number of key areas which are important for Foreign Direct Investment:
First for availability of finance skills
First for flexibility and adaptability of workforce
First most competitive country in the Eurozone
Fifth in the world for availability of workforce
Establishing a presence in Ireland provides a gateway into Europe, the world's largest single market, with barrier-free access to over 500 million consumers. Ireland's geographic location, transport links to Europe, the US and the Middle East provides easy access to international markets. Ireland has long been marketed as the land of a hundred thousand welcomes, Céad Míle Fáilte in Irish, which is evidenced through the growing number of diverse multinationals and nationalities working in Ireland. Ireland is the only English speaking country in the Eurozone, fostering continued close ties with the UK and the USA.
In conclusion, it is clear from the above that Ireland has a number of unique factors which have lead to the country becoming a destination of choice for international companies to access the EU internal market. Ireland's competitive tax regime, regulatory framework, the availability of talented workers from within the EU and outside, and our access to EU markets is central to its ability to attract investment over other EU countries.
From our experience of working with our International clients we have developed both an understanding and a significant level of experience of the above factors and their importance to investors in establishing operations in Ireland.
Increased Transparency at Heart of Hong Kong Regulatory Changes


Some models do not have a thermostat so they heat continuously once plugged in. They should only be plugged in when ice and snow damage is expected. These units are adequate for homes where people are around to monitor the status of snow and ice on the building.
Other models are self-regulating so they only heat when temperatures go below a certain level. These are good for commercial installations or residences where the roof is out of sight and no one will be able to check ice and snow conditions.
To eliminate ice dams on your low pitch roof, you may need to run the heat tape from the gutter most of the way up the roof. This situation could take quite a bit of heat tape to work properly. You will not want the spaces between the wires to be too far apart or there could be mini ice dams forming between them.
Even though I sell roof heat tapes, I try not to recommend them. I would prefer people to insulate and ventilate their attics to prevent ice dams. Do not work on the problem, but work on the cause.
Ice dams form when heat from both the sun and the attic-melt snow during the day. Then the snow/slush slides down the roof until it hits the overhang and gutter. Since there is no additional heat from the house, the slush freezes, usually at night. Several warm days, cold nights, and enough heat from the house causes a monster ice dam to form.
The real problem occurs when a warm front moves in, and snow up on the roof melts. The water cannot get over or under the ice dam and backs up under the shingles. Or the point of entry through the roof is usually right over the exterior wall. Many people experience water 'raining' right in the middle of their windows or in the soffits in the kitchen.
You can prevent this from happening by ventilating the overhang and the roof so warm air can rise to bring in fresh cold air. This will help keep the roof cold so the snow will be less apt to melt. Then add insulation to the attic to trap warm air in the room below. I consider twelve inches of insulation to be the minimum for an attic in Michigan.
Some attics are inaccessible or have too low a pitch making ventilation and re-insulating impossible. These should install roof heat tapes. Everyone else should pay more now for the venting and insulation and reap the savings in heat bills for years to come.
An 80-footer will draw as much electricity as four 100-watt light bulbs.
A house with a twelve-inch overhang will need a heat tape about four times the length of roof.

"Me puede poner un café con leche, por favor."
The most common coffee drink in Spain is "café con leche" which is served with equal parts coffee and milk. In the mornings, they may ask if you want your milk hot or room temperature. If you're in a hurry, order "con la leche templada" (room temperature milk) so you can enjoy your drink right away. If you have some time to spare order "con la leche caliente" (hot milk).

Gasly may miss Super Formula finale for US Grand Prix
Posted on October 3, 2017 by James T
Pierre Gasly who made his F1 debut at Malaysia has said he may drive in the US Grand Prix despite it clashing with Japanese Super Formula finale in which he is currently competing.
The young Frenchman replaced Daniil Kvyat last time and will do so again this weekend in Japan. But despite being just half a point behind SF leader Hiroaki Ishiura and in with a chance of the title, he has said may decide to continue with F1.
"A title is always important," Gasly said. "After winning GP2, if I can win Super Formula, that would be great.
"After winning GP2, if I can win Super Formula, that would be great.
"But if I can race in Austin that would be even more amazing. We will see.
"If I can finish the year in F1, I will finish the year in F1. It's my final target, it's exactly where I want to be – in Formula 1.
"It would be really useful experience. I keep learning in the car and feeling more confident so every lap I can get with the team will be useful for the future."
Gasly qualified 15ht on his debut for Toro Rosso and finished one place higher. However, he has said he has not begun talks about a full 2018 drive with the team.
Saying: "[We] didn't talk about it at the moment.
"They know what I think about it. If it was up to me, I would have already signed a contract.
"The only thing I can do is focus on my job and try to do the best I can. Last year was a good season.
"I went to Japan and tried to do my best there. I had a really good opportunity with Toro Rosso last weekend. I'm just trying to do my best."

Experts: Malaysia isn't well Prepared for Extreme Weather Events
Floods in Malaysia can wreak extensive havoc. Photo Credit: YouTube
Summer floods in neighboring Thailand have been especially bad this year. The deluge, triggered by heavy seasonal rains, has killed at least 23 people in the country's north and eastern regions. Flash floods have caused damage in excess of $300 million (RM1.3 billion) and affected rice farming over 1,554 square kilometers. And locals may not have seen the worst of it yet.
This time around Malaysia has remained relatively unscathed by such devastating floods, but that doesn't mean the country is safe. Three out of five Malaysian sustainability experts (60%) consider the country's urban planning to be ineffective in the face of extreme weather events triggered by climate change, which is making devastating floods like those affecting Thailand ever more likely in Malaysia as well. Three-quarters of them (74%, to be precise) also believe the government has allocated insufficient funding to mitigate the effects of extreme weather events.
This is according to a regional survey, "Flood Controls in South-east Asia," which was conducted by the sustainability-oriented social enterprise Eco-Business Research and sponsored by pump solutions company Grundfos. The study surveyed 417 sustainability industry leaders from across Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.
Malaysian experts were among the region's most skeptical about their government's flood preparedness potentials.
A panel discussion featured Mohmad Asari, vice president of the Malaysia Water Association; Dr. Thomas Tang, MD of the KL Centre for Sustainable Innovation; Chee Meng Tan, regional business director of Water Utility at Grundfos; and Tim Hill, research director for Eco-Business Research.

It's not without reason that they're concerned. According to estimates by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) cities and towns around the country could lose up to US$84 billion (RM360 billion) in combined assets by 2070 as a result of severe weather events brought on by climate change, the study's authors warn.
"This study also revealed that nearly 70 per cent of respondents across South-east Asia predicted that their home country will continue to face extreme weather events over the next decade, taking a significant toll on local economies and infrastructure," Eco-Business Research and Grundfos said in a press release. "The majority of respondents believe average temperatures have become higher and monsoon seasons have become more unpredictable."
They added: "In particular, the main concern seems to be that dry periods are getting longer and rainfall, when it occurs, is getting heavier." In 2014 and 2015, for instance, historic floods wreaked havoc in Kelantan, causing some 230,000 people to lose their homes and 21 to lose their lives. Such devastating floods are likely to become far more frequent in coming years.
In response, the authors are calling for a regional approach to improve flood-management mechanisms and boost cooperation on prevention and mitigation. Yet 66% of Malaysian survey respondents believe their country is not doing enough to work with its neighbors to produce holistic regional solutions to the worsening effects of climate change.

Because you want a second chance?
Because you still think you are better?
Do you truly see me as I am?
In manner so familiar to you?
Do you see my shades of Crystal Blue?
Or is your world still a pathetic grayscale?
I do not want your fakeness. I want raw and real.
And finally see some color.
And you'll move on from past.
The source will feed you answers.
You'll come across my number.
To prove that I have changed.
Proving implies a cause for disbelief.
Than whom you used to know.
And yet, I'm here and I'm still open.
I'm tired of old image haunting me.
It presents itself in form of limitations.
What those limits shall be.
Still hold perceptions in collective.
I am not asking for your trust.
I am only asking for indifference.
Indifference to the person that I was.
Stop thinking that you know me!
I know your true feelings.
And your true motives show.
You cannot fool my true innateness!
I see the fake – barbed wire around your space.
Relax and try to be more open-minded.
And just this once put a smile upon your face!
I am still here. I'm open and I'm waiting.
I'm waiting for you to take a chance.
Waiting for you to finally drop the act.

U.S. Rep. Marcia L. Fudge U.S. Representative Marcia L. Fudge is a committed public servant who brings a hard-working, problem-solving spirit to Congress and to the task of creating jobs, attacking predatory lending, and improving health care, small business, and education. These characteristics were honed while serving as Warrensville Heights' first African American female Mayor. As the city's top executive, Representative Fudge led Warrensville Heights in building 200 new homes and shoring up a sagging retail base. The Honorable Louis Stokes, who represented the 11th District until his retirement says, "Congresswoman Fudge continues to build upon a quickly-earned reputation among her colleagues of being a hard worker and a knowledgeable legislator with leadership qualities." Representative Fudge put her strong work ethic into practice in her appointments on House Committees and Caucus seats. On the Agriculture Committee, she continues her commitment to ending childhood obesity in a generation, stamping out hunger and monitoring the safety of our food supply. On the Education and the Workforce Committee, the Congresswoman is a strong advocate for policies to strengthen our education system and promote job creation. Additionally, she was an early, and continues to be a strong, voice for voter protection.
The Farm Bill touches the lives of every American. From the hundreds of thousands of farmers who grow our fruits and vegetables and raise our livestock to the millions of hungry Americans who depend on federal feeding programs, no one can deny the importance of this legislation.
The Farm Bill protects our farmers from catastrophic weather, providing a safety-net for small family farms. It protects consumers from volatile and unpredictable food prices. Considering its significant impact for so many Americans, Congress must come together to reauthorize the Farm Bill this year.
In an effort to reduce our nation's deficit, significant cuts to farm programs are expected. I am deeply concerned about the cuts proposed to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the nation's most important anti-hunger program.


Our campus serves as a trans-disciplinary meeting point for a wide range of experts and professionals, from philosophers and entrepreneurs to engineers and designers.

the conscientious objector full movie
Conscientious objector Desmond Doss became a World War II hero during one of the bloodiest battles of the Pacific theater.

'Oscars So White' And The Hollywood Diversity Problem48:04

#OscarsSoWhite. We'll look at Hollywood's diversity problem and how the country sees itself on screen.
John Krasinski, left, and Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs announce the Academy Awards nominations for best performance by an actor in a leading role at the 88th Academy Awards nomination ceremony on Thursday, Jan. 14, 2016, in Beverly Hills, Calif. The 88th annual Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, Feb. 28, 2016, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. (AP)
If you're watching, Oscar night may be more than a little uncomfortable this year. The host, Chris Rock: black and proud and loud. The acting nominees up for Academy Awards: all white. One hundred percent. For the second year in a row. In a country bursting with color. The hashtag #OscarsSoWhite has exploded. A new report says our TV and movies just don't look like us. This hour On Point, Hollywood's diversity problem, and how America sees itself – or doesn't - on screen.

From Tom's Reading List
USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism: Inclusion or Invisibility -- "Overall, the landscape of media content is still largely whitewashed. Relative to the U.S. population, the industry is underperforming on racial/ethnic diversity of leads (film), series regulars (TV/digital), and all speaking characters. The number of shows missing two racial groups entirely is particularly problematic. The hashtag #OscarsSoWhite should be changed to #HollywoodSoWhite, as our findings show that an epidemic of invisibility runs throughout popular storytelling."
Lenny Letter: On Fixing Hollywood's Diversity Problem — "Diversity isn't something that just happens to appear every once in a while. It's not going to surprise you on your birthday like, 'Oh, I didn't know diversity would be here! How fun!' It's the act of inclusion, and it's something that needs to be improved upon in so many fields. But it is getting better."
Huffington Post: This Report On Hollywood Diversity Confirms What We Already Know — "Needless to say, the study found that, overall, the inclusion of people of color, women and the LGBT community in film and television is lacking. Surprise, surprise. Still, while some may see studies like these as redundant or 'telling us what we already know,' the reality of Hollywood's diversity problem is one that obviously bears repeating."


The kids playground has lost another broadcast player.
Up against a tough marketplace, NBC confirmed Thursday it would lease its Saturday morning kids block to Discovery Networks for three years, beginning in fall 2002 (Daily Variety, Dec. 5).
Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but sources familiar with the deal said Discovery will pony up about $6 million per season.
"This is a strategic move to keep NBC competitive in the kids arena," said NBC West Coast prexy Scott Sassa, who said that without a weekday platform, it was difficult to promote the Saturday morning block.
The block consists of 2½ hours of programming, but if the Peacock doesn't renew its current contract with the National Basketball Assn., that number could expand to three, since the half-hour NBA-produced "Inside Stuff" would disappear.
Discovery will sell all commercial time for the ayem block, which will be jointly branded by Discovery and NBC. The cabler also will keep 100% of the revenue from the block, which it plans to sell as a package with its Discovery Kids digital net and kid-geared programs on Animal Planet and Discovery Channel.
NBC said the kids block will continue to meet FCC guidelines for educational and informational children's programming. If the FCC didn't mandate that stations air three hours a week for educational programming for kids, Sassa said the Peacock likely would have skedded something else in the daypart.
Discovery didn't reveal details of the new sked, but said it will cross genres. "We're looking at the inventory we have, as well as a strong development slate, which includes documentaries for kids, real world fiction, even animation," said Discovery Kids senior VP/general manager Marjorie Kaplan. The programming likely will target 9- to 14-year-olds, known as the "tween" demo.
Discovery Kids programming currently airs as a programming block on Discovery, as well as on the Discovery Kids digital cable net, which is distributed in only 15 million homes.
Rodgers said he hopes the Discovery Kids block on NBC will help drive distribution of the Discovery Kids digital channel.
Since 1993, NBC has been using the block for its teen-oriented "TNBC" lineup. In the past it has had success with shows such as "Saved by the Bell," but the current lineup, which includes "City Guys," "All About Us" and "Just Deal," hasn't had much luck attracting auds.
NBC isn't the first broadcast net to abandon the kid biz by leasing out space to a cable net. Two years ago, CBS, which failed to compete aggressively on Saturday mornings, turned over the daypart to corporate sibling Nickelodeon to program. By partnering with Nick, CBS was able to turn a profit on its previously money-losing Saturday morning sked.
Fox also has been meeting with kids producers about leasing its Fox Kids' four-hour Saturday morning lineup. "We're looking at all the bids and we're hoping to make a decision soon," said Fox Kids VP Patrick Connolly.

Adjoint method and its application in mantle convection

The adjoint method for data assimilation is a gradient-based inversion technique which is especially useful for inverting nonlinear dynamic systems. Recently, its application for simulating geophysical problems has been proved promising. In this paper, we try to introduce the adjoint method in a systematic way, from the theoretical basis to its practical implementation in numerical models of mantle convection, with several examples to help the understanding. The adjoint operator of a temporally evolving system can be derived based on the perturbation theory, where a mismatch in the model output against observation is attributed to an error in the input, with their relation approximated as a first-order derivative (gradient) of the least-squared mismatch with respect to the input. For a nonlinear system, iterative processing is inevitable; the efficiency and convergence rate depend on the amount of a-priori information about the input (e.g. the initial condition). Seismic tomography, which describes the present-day mantle structures, has seen steady progress on both regional and global scales, and allows inverting mantle convection to the past. By either assimilation or comparison with geological observations, especially the dynamic topography inferred from stratigraphy, adjoint calculation of mantle convection can constrain unknown mantle dynamic properties while recovering the initial condition. Enormous new insights about the earth's dynamic mechanisms, therefore, can emerge. A specific example is the inversion of the Farallon flat subduction under North America during the Late Cretaceous time.

ESD's PEP Studio pushed the boundaries of energy performance, ensuring all 27 buildings could endure the extreme weather of the world's second-coldest capital city.
As lead Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, and Building Controls designer, our team focused on high-performance systems that are robust, efficient, and ensure comfortable conditions for visitors to the Expo and occupants of the building in their post-Expo converted use.
Keeping with the Expo theme, "Future Energy," parametric energy, water, and waste modeling tools were used to inform design decisions and establish a defensible methodology to evaluate the project's sustainability goals.
A cost analysis of energy conservation measures employed in the design of the Expo buildings identifies 50% total energy savings, including savings from building-integrated photovoltaics, wind power, and ground source heat pumps.
We developed a web-based data visualization tool to inform architectural and client decisions by presenting engineering model results throughout the design process. A robust suite of information visualization types, including 3D architectural model of performance metrics, enable stakeholders to view impacts on energy production and consumption resulting from design decisions. User-generated visualizations can be saved and shared securely over the web in real time for collaboration between engineers, architects, and clients.
