A common misconception is that enjoying the health benefits of spices means eating curry.
The truth is that, as much as I love a good curry, these traditional recipes are not the only vehicles for spice.
Simple dishes that we all enjoy on a regular basis can be ideal canvases for spices. Some out-of-the-box thinking and willingness to break the rules can allow these healing ingredients into your kids' and families' lives, seamlessly and deliciously.
These spiced scrambled eggs are a case in point.
Eggs are nutritious, versatile and perfect for picky kids.
I spiced up a traditional egg scramble with anti-inflammatory turmeric, digestion-boosting cumin, anti-bacterial coriander as well as metabolism-enhancing black pepper (which also increases the absorption of turmeric). I added tomatoes and spinach for increased nutrition and shallots for bite and flavour. A sprinkling of parsley finished off the dish beautifully. We love it over toast for breakfast or in a whole wheat tortilla for lunch. A bit of cayenne or hot sauce elevates it for the adults.
Beat the eggs, cream and spices in a bowl until well mixed.
In a sauté pan, heat the oil on medium until shimmering.
Add the shallots and sauté until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach and tomatoes and sauté for 5 minutes until the tomatoes have broken down a bit.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the eggs and mix continuously, scrambling them into a custard-like, creamy texture, 3-5 minutes. Once the eggs are cooked, add salt and pepper to taste. Finish with parsley and serve.

Declining birth rate, population, economic scale - It's a nationwide problem in Japan, but Kochi Prefecture, the hometown of CEO Hamaguchi, is said to be 10 years ahead in terms of the aging demographic.
Mr. Masato Takechi of the Industry Creation Division came into our office from Kochi.
Before Kochi where he currently promotes enterprises in the IT and content creation industry, he had previously been working as a system engineer for 7 years in Tokyo. He hosts an event called "Community Leaders Summit in Kochi" (CLS) which was held twice in 2018, where he actively works towards solutions for the challenges Kochi Prefecture faces. I asked Mr. Takechi about the current state of the local and prefectural governments from a marketing perspective.
Kochi is facing a big problem, isn't it?
Yes. Up until now, the young people are moving out of the prefecture in search of employment, so it's said that we're ten years ahead of the rest of the country in terms of aging population.
But this problem being so apparent also creates a business opportunity. As a prefecture, we are trying to boost the agriculture, forestry, and fishery industry by growing local commerce activities and promoting purchasing outside the prefecture.
My own mission is to attract more IT/content companies, favored among young people who can work with just an Internet connection, thereby preventing them from leaving and doing I-turns and U-turns in the first place.
I heard you are studying marketing.
Out of necessity, I became more involved in the marketing community. As I learned, I realized all of the ideas I thought of trying were explained in marketing.
If a prefecture is a company, I think the prefectural government is like the marketing department.
Yes. At times I've been told it is marketing itself. We don't refer to it as "marketing", but I think we have a similar awareness.
Marketing to put it simply is the activity to become chosen for something. When putting out goods and hit products, the important thing is to be chosen by consumers. In recruitment, to be a workplace that is chosen by potential hires. Being chosen is important in so many ways.
People come to Kochi and enjoy the nature—the southern sea, fishing and surfing. There is Hirome Market which is culturally known as a place where you can easily make friends over drinks. These are things we already have. In the future, my hope is that people will continue to associate Kochi with interesting things, especially through IT / contents. It's still only been a few years since we started promoting these industries, but I have a feeling we can prepare something impressive.
On top of "Okyaku" (Kochi style reception) representation of the original drinking culture, you want to create content that will attract people who want to do a good job and succeed.
To attract companies obviously requires human resources. For that I urge UI turns, but some people feel that one would have less things to learn in Kochi. While you could learn on your own, the study groups commonly held in Tokyo aren't so readily there in the countryside. So people might worry about missing out on trends. I want to make it easier for people to migrate by building an IT community in Kochi. The prefecture can create opportunities for study, but the information should be acquired by the individual, so I started thinking about "community support".
CLS (Community Leaders Summit in Kochi) has already been held twice. How was it?
The first summit was held to gather people to Kochi.
The second round was to highlight the importance of understanding what's happening on the outside, with a theme built around how Ryoma wouldn't be Ryoma Sakamoto if he stayed in Kochi. We discussed how to lessen dependence on the homeland or organization one belongs to, a spiritual departure to gain a breath of fresh air and expand perceptions, without actually leaving town.
Kick-off panel "Where did Sakamoto Ryoma become Sakamoto Ryoma? - Explore common points between the end of Edo period and the present day community"
I like the keyword "spiritual departure". That said, I do feel Japan's globalization is lagging behind.
Yeah. You notice how there are so many Korean and Chinese products in Asia, not Japanese. I know Japan is trying to go global, but I have yet to see true "spiritual departure". Historically, is it like the advancement overseas while being protected by the Tosa clan? Honestly it seems to surprisingly be the reality.
Something being "Made in Japan" no longer necessarily equates to winning in this day and age.
What are some inherent challenges marketing as the prefectural office?
The effective results can't be seen immediately. Gauging how to spend on experimental efforts proves to be difficult not knowing whether or not results can be seen two or three steps down the line. Also, things take time as there are many stakeholders.
To us, CLS has been successful in inviting many people, and the word got out wonderfully. It's difficult to explain the charm of it all because the value of personal brands can't be quantified.
That's right. It is difficult to convey the meaning and value of that group gathering.
One might think, "Seems like just a bunch of folks getting together eating bonito." (Laughs) But actually, some amazing people are getting together here.
The community is a great place where you can be frank and talk about anything. But the culture hasn't fully permeated. After two summits, we're realizing how this chance shouldn't be wasted. And we're thinking of ways to spread the word.
Our ideal form of marketing is to know who our biggest customers are and to impress them. I think the marketing is successful if this is accomplished. But in the case of the prefectural office, things might not be so easy.
It's hard to be understood at times. On the surface, the target is in the number of participants, etc., but in reality I'm always thinking of how to deliver these ideas to the people.
This year, I invited a certain HR startup company to collaborate on making the event. We taught programming to college students who would then in turn teach to junior and senior high school students. With a capacity of 80 people, there were over 200 junior and senior high students who participated.
It was a success from the number of entries we had, but more than that, because we developed instructors from the college community.
After the event, they carried on to continue the activities which gave the whole thing excitement. There was a lot of good energy and a sense of progress. And that's exactly what we are striving for.
The advertising base that is First Pin is being born for the challenge of participant numbers. And this present situation is what I believe to be representing the charm of Kochi. We are trying to get on our feet. Through enterprise and UI turn, wouldn't it be exciting to make this growth together!
30-50% of people in Kochi leave the prefecture after high school. But there are many who return home during key times in their lifetime.
On the bright side, our people like Kochi. People who can't return to the hometown but want to show support, people who have connections in business, related interests are paying attention. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is making a portal site to keep up to date with the growth. We want to connect with people outside of the prefecture as well to continue enlivening Kochi.
Tokyo shouldn't be the only place that sustains the nation. There should be more energy in the outside city towns. When I went to Germany last summer, I felt like they got it right in this regard. Lots of cities with a population of 500,000-1,000,000 people, but they all have places to work and solid global jobs. Different than the city center versus countryside style of Japan. The country is dotted with main cities linked with the Autobahn.
Wow! So every town is independent in their own industries and people converge.
Restaurant Kabuki, with Naoki Sakamoto from Kochi!
Like John Manjiro! Hope we get more and more people who leave town to build up experience and come back.
The returning bonito. (Laughs) Hopefully the case for all regions of Japan, not only Kochi. Then the future of Japan might look quite different.
Before we end, and it would be kind of awkward asking you about "dreams", but tell me what is something you wish you could do.
It would be the best thing for my kids to enjoy life in Kochi too. That's why it's fun creating jobs and livening up the region with the community. I want to make an environment where one feels something interesting is happening. On the other hand, I personally think that people should, including my own child, go out of the prefecture once to build connections that eventually tie back to the region. We want to be a prefectural office that connects people.
As a related person, I am cheering you on. And in Bigbeat, we have a Kochi club that does extracurricular activities welcome to anyone. If we get more members and can further contribute to Kochi, that would be fantastic. Thank you for today.

Nothing changes, just perceptions
BlogFeatured Agency News
It's early 2018. A time of resolutions. A time of new ideas. A time to dust off the old saw about "out with the old and in with the new."
I've been thinking about this phrase recently after reading a new book called "Year of the Pitcher," by Sridhar Pappu. It is an easy, nostalgic read about the 1968 baseball season when hitters appeared helpless and pitchers like Bob Gibson, Denny McLain and Don Drysdale became legends. While I knew most of the stories, one little throwaway paragraph caught my attention. It was a few shorts sentences about how in the late 1960s, there was a concerted effort to demolish Fenway Park in Boston. There were even plans for a "dome" that would house all of the professional sports teams in Boston that was to be built by 1970.
Wait, what? There was an actual plan to demolish the hallowed Fenway? Home of the Red Sox? Home of the Green Monster? One of baseball's "cathedrals?" Move the Sox to a dome? How dumb could Boston's city leadership actually be?
The answer was not very. At that time and place, it would have made sense to demolish Fenway, which was baseball's smallest park, and move to a bigger stadium. Small parks meant less revenue, which was big because back then almost of a team's money came from gate attendance. But come on, it was Fenway? Right? Wrong. Back then, few cared about Fenway. The Red Sox were terrible through most of the 1960s and drew poorly most years. Boston wasn't alone in its idea of building new sporting stadiums. Cities such as Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, New York and St. Louis all demolished their "old, outdated parks" and were placing them with multi-use super stadiums that could double attendance. Other rising cities such as Atlanta, Dallas, Miami and Houston were building modern stadiums to entice pro teams and create more money and , um, more civic pride, yeah civic pride. So, a plan to demolish Fenway would have been in lock step with the rest of professional sports and other major American cities. For various political reasons, though, a new Boston dome never was built. The Red Sox got better, attendance got better, and by some point between Carlton Fisk frantically waving his Game Six home run ball fair and the mid-1980s, Fenway became Fenway. When the Red Sox ownership group suggested a new stadium in 2000s, it went over as well as plan to demolish a perfectly good bridge in downtown Greenville.
Which begs the question when does "out with the old, in with the new" begin to piss people off? In the 1960s, Fenway was junk. Now, it is a Boston landmark. In the 1960s, Reedy River Falls was junk, now it is a Greenville landmark. What changes? When and why? What are the symptons? Can it be cured? As Jerry Garcia once said of his band, The Grateful Dead, "we're sort of like the town whore that's finally become an institution. We're finally becoming respectable." Nothing really changes except our perceptions.
I ask these questions because as usual, the future of downtown Greenville is at a crossroads. The downtown master plan is set to be updated this year, according to a recent article in The Greenville Journal. This is going to be a big deal because this updated plan will help guide downtown well into the future just as past plans helped steer what downtown is today.
Those plans have worked well, to the say the least.
Greenville's downtown has become one of the best in nation — known for its unique blend of practicality (yeah parking garages!) and charm (including our replica Fenway known as Fluor Field). And while some people complain about how much Greenville's downtown has changed for the worse because of the new apartments or because of new restaurants, what are they really mad about? Is it a symptom of "out with the old, in with the new?"

MoviegoersAren't BuyingWhat TheatersAre Selling
By Chad Lewis, clewis@kitsapsun.com — Jul 2nd, 2005
Buddies Bruce Ulrich and Ryan Wilson walked out of the movie theater in Poulsbo, sharing arm-chair critiques of "War of the Worlds."
"I normally like movies with a little more plot and subtext," Ulrich said, "but this was fun. It's exactly what a good summer movie is supposed to be."
"Yeah," Wilson said, "it's one of those you really need to see on the big screen. Watching this at home would be like watching a different movie."
That's exactly the kind of reaction Hollywood hopes for. After all, the movie industry last week set a record for the longest box office slump in the modern era. Box office receipts have declined for 18 straight weeks. For the year, theater revenue is down 6 percent while attendance is down 9 percent.
If anyone can stop Hollywood's box office slide, it's Steven Spielberg.
It was Spielberg, after all, who directed the first true blockbuster 30 years ago with "Jaws." He then crafted such summer classics as "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," and "Jurassic Park."
And with the opening of "War of the Worlds," Spielberg reminds moviegoers what summer movies are supposed to be about: invading aliens and popcorn.
But what if this film turns out to be just another remake, along with all the sequels and prequels clogging the screens?
These days, it's hard to tell.
Hollywood's decline has been gradual but noticeable. Last year, Americans spent twice as much buying DVDs as they did buying movie tickets. A recent AP-AOL poll found that 73 percent of Americans prefer watching movies at home.
John and Beth Bermani of Poulsbo dropped off their kids before catching "Batman Begins." They enjoyed the movie but had a few complaints. Sitting through 20 minutes of commercials for everything from eye surgery to new cars before watching another 10 minutes of previews had them shaking their heads.
"It's almost like paying to go watch commercials," John Bermani said.
Now that movie-lovers have so many options — Netflix, downloading, movie rentals, elaborate home entertainment systems, movies on demand — it's the experience, not the product, that theaters offer. And for many moviegoers, that experience is not a pleasant one.
Jack Ondracek, who owned Redwood Cinemas in Bremerton before closing it last year, has noticed a change in moviegoers' appetites.
"As the ticket prices started reaching $8 and $10, moviegoers started having different expectations," Ondracek said. "People used to be more tolerant of kids in the aisles and people talking during the movie, but not anymore. They expect more from a movie theater. They expect everything to be much nicer."
The industry's decline comes just a few years after its explosive growth.
In the late 1980s and early '90s, multiple-screen theaters exploded across the country. Kitsap County went from a handful of screens to nearly 40. Moviegoers suddenly had more screenings, more comfortable seats and better sound systems.
Studios began trumpeting their box office records as a way of creating buzz. It became popular to catch a movie on its opening weekend, to be part of the spectacle.
"You don't want to be the only one among your friends who hasn't seen the movie everyone's talking about," said 16-year-old Jessica Wenke of Island Lake, who saw "War of the Worlds" this week with her 17-year-old brother. "It's a social thing."
In the 1990s, Hollywood's plan worked. Theaters with stadium seating drew record crowds. "Titanic" was released in 1997 and eventually became the all-time box office king, pulling in a staggering $600 million in the United States and more than $1 billion worldwide.
But just as Hollywood hit its high-mark, it was thrown a plot twist.
The same year "Titanic" was released, DVD players were introduced and became the fastest-growing entertainment device ever. Meanwhile, the Internet took off and video games became a billion-dollar industry.
"Today's audience is pulled in so many directions," said Paul Dergarabedian president of Exhibitor Relations, the industry's leading box office tracker. "Movies now are just another way of delivering entertainment."
Still, Dergarabedian and other analysts say DVDs are not to blame for Hollywood's slump. They say DVDs create interest in movies. The true villains behind the downturn include:
• Lack of original movies: As films became more expensive to produce and promote, studios started relying on sequels, prequels and remakes of movies and television shows because they supposedly had a built-in audience. But those safe bets came at the expense of risk-taking films that avid movie fans enjoy.
• Market saturation: The movie-going audience has not kept up with the number of screens erected. Many new theaters did not increase the number of moviegoers, they simply took moviegoers from other theaters.
• Hollywood hype: By bragging about their record-setting box office takes, studios set themselves up for eventual letdown.
Analysts aren't too concerned about this year's slide. After all, every industry has hiccups. But few industries are as watched as closely by the average American as Hollywood is.
"There's just something about movies that fascinates people," Dergarabedian said. "People keep up with the box office because they have a vested interest. Their money is part of the take."
That money is more than it used to be. Tickets to an evening show in Kitsap are about $8. A medium tub of popcorn is about $5.50. Two medium drinks costs about $9. An outing for a family of two adults and two children can add up to nearly $40.
Still, an evening at the movies is cheaper than a family outing to a Seattle Mariners game and far less than a dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.
Michelle Ray of Silverdale took her 10-month-old daughter and her 6-year-old nephew to see the animated hit "Madagascar" and spent about $17.50. Was it worth it?
"For me, no," Ray said. "But my nephew had a great time, so I guess it was worth it for him."
For all the talk about the demise of movie theaters, there is something special about the experience that continues to draw fans.
"It's a nice escape time," Bermani said. "We don't go as often as we used to, but it's nice way to go out for an evening."
Dergarabedian says that is the kind of experience theaters must provide to reverse the downward spiral.
"Going to the movies is part of our culture," he said. "People have home entertainment centers now, but people still want to get out of the house sometimes."

If you're in banking or trying to position yourself for a job at a bank, you want to know what the heavy hitters of the industry pay on Wall Street.
Deutsche Bank, UBS and Credit Suisse are all major continental European players. We've now compiled salary data for those three banks for analysts, associates, vice presidents, directors and managing directors in New York City, which tend to be higher than the average across the U.S. as a whole.
Analyst salaries are basically the same across all three banks, although UBS appears to have slightly more upside than the others.
Credit Suisse has the highest associate salaries of these three European banks on Wall Street, but its vice president salaries are the lowest of the three.

Diary of a Groundhopper – Ruthin Town 0 Buckley Town 1
Posted on 1st March 2019 by admin in Features, Groundhopper with 0 Comments
Ruthin Town 0 Buckley Town 1 – February 16
After ticking off The New Lawn with my team, Notts County, last weekend, I am back to my beloved Non-League football this Saturday. The slate is clear, so I can go anywhere the whim takes me. It's The Fox's turn to drive, so he has the final say.
Sifting through the extensive list of possible fixtures I send to him, The Fox immediately replies that he would like to go to Ruthin Town in North Wales. Not only can we do some birdwatching on the amazing Great Orme beforehand but The Fox claims to have a surprise in store for me. I am suitably intrigued!
After a wonderful, bracing early morning in the sun and wind on The Orme, we head inland along the verdant lanes of Conwy and Denbishshire. We pull up in the centre of Ruthin, bypassing the football ground, and I wonder what The Fox has in store for me. The town is lovely: full of traditional shops down narrow lanes; my wife would have loved an afternoon firtling around here.
But it's not the shops I am here to see. There, ahead, is a memorial to Tom Pryce, the only Welsh F1 driver to have won a race. He died in a terrible accident at the South African Grand Prix in 1977 and his home town wanted to commemorate his career. Those who think F1 has lost its excitement because it is now 'too safe' should familiarise themselves with Tom's death and celebrate that things like that no longer happen.
This being a Huw Grays Alliance fixture, it's a 2pm kick-off. The large car park is already full when we pull up at the Memorial Playing Fields, It looks like this local–ish derby has attracted a decent-sized crowd. I pay £5 at the gate and another £1.50 for the programme. With this many people already here I am grateful there are still programmes available.
Next stop is the food hatch. The pies are so-so and The Fox proclaims the coffee as perhaps the worst he's ever had at a match! Fortunately, I had tea.
The clubhouse, two stands and the turnstiles are all situated along one side of the stadium. There's another railed-off, full-sized pitch along the opposite side, which must be where the reserves play? The ground is surrounded by distant hills and there's a nice church tower protruding into the skyline.
Ruthin are 7th, while today's visitors are just three points behind in 11th. All the indications are that this will be a tight match. I am on a run of particularly poor games, so I am hoping I'm wrong. My Goal Average is plummeting like a stone, too!
Unfortunately, my need for goals is not to be fulfilled this afternoon. Buckley look the stronger side but Ruthin defend stoically. I am destined for my fifth consecutive half time 0-0 on the trot! The visitors seem to think of themselves as Champions League contenders judging by the way they moan at every refereeing decision. This is tedious and downright annoying.
If anything, the second half is even worse than the first! Passes fly astray, players take the wrong options and at one point the guy retrieving wayward footballs is in line for Man of the Match.
Finally, the crowd has a goal to cheer, even though it's the strong away following doing the celebrating. After fifty minutes, Luke Blizard nods home at the back stick to break the deadlock. It ended as a win for Buckley, which they just about deserve. On the drive home I discover I only 'need' Penrhyncch to complete the League. I?better plug that annoying gap!
Pre-match info: 8, welcome: 7, facilities: 6, food: 4, charm: 7.5, match: 4, fans: 5, programme: 4, overall trip: 7, officials: 8.5, att: 208

Is App Development Accessible to Small Businesses?
App development can seem scary at first, but it's actually fairly simple.
For many small businesses, the idea of developing an app invokes a sense of fear. Between the cost of development and the time-investment, some small business owners simply don't view app development as an accessible marketing strategy. However, as the app development industry evolves, it's now spanning every corner of the business world, making itself far more accessible to businesses of all sizes.
What Types of Small Businesses Benefit from Apps?
Many small businesses have already jumped into the app development game. According to a 2015 analysis of app development, some lesser common industries are even beginning to leverage app development. Though restaurants have been in the game for a long time, app development is now expanding its reach to incorporate hotels, golf courses, plumbers, and more. Part of this stems from increased accessibility. Today, apps are cheaper and more efficient to develop than ever before. It's a one-time investment that will continue to pay off indefinitely.
In What Ways Do Small Businesses Benefit from Mobile Apps?
Just because you can develop an app, doesn't mean you should. You need to know that the investment will be well worth the return. Small businesses have been utilising app development for a multitude of purposes, but the primary application is for marketing and improving customer engagement. No matter the industry of the small business, all businesses can benefit from the push notifications that apps provide, enabling you to maintain a steady stream of contact with your most loyal customers.

A business app is a smart business move that will provide the brainpower to fuel your marketing.
How to Know if an App Is Right for Your Small Business
Though mobile apps can provide value to any company, there are some businesses that will benefit more than others. One of the main perks of app development is its ability to improve customer engagement, allowing you to better compete within your industry. Analyse your market competition. Are your competitors using apps to draw in customers? If so, having an app is essential, as it will enable you to provide the same level of satisfaction and value to clients.
If your competitors aren't providing apps, then an app is less essential, but it still provides you with a way to remain ahead of competition and leverage a trend before it sweeps your industry. You also need to consider the number of customers you engage with daily. The more customers you engage with, the more profitable the app will be. Independent contractors who engage with a small number of clients each week may experience less return, in terms of responses, than a retail store that engages with a high number of customers, but should expect higher revenue per user.
How Accessible Is App Development to Small Businesses?
As with anything else, once the industry is saturated and demand increases, the cost is driven downward. This has been the case with app development. Whilst once requiring a hefty investment that few small businesses could achieve, it's now incredibly cost-effective to develop an app, provided you start with the right studio.
The key is to find an app development studio that is cost-effective, whilst providing a range of services that will considerably reduce your time investment. Find a platform that not only helps to develop the app, but will take the process a step further by assisting with the promotion of the app. This saves small businesses a lot of time, in turn resulting in a more cost-effective solution. At Glance, our app developers work alongside small businesses to innovate, create, and promote your app, thus offering a highly efficient and affordable solution that can help your business grow.

Australia's Primary Health Networks (PHNs) can play a role in developing partnerships with key stakeholders to commission and coordinate new preventive services and programs and to integrate clinical and population health approaches to chronic disease prevention. It is not clear, however, what this looks like in practice.
Following the first phase of our research into strengthening the role of PHNs in prevention, this project aims to identify what prevention approaches are feasible, are working well, or could potentially work well, in primary health care.
The project will identify a cardiovascular disease prevention initiative with PHNs and stakeholders, then trial and evaluate this prevention initiative across three to four PHNs to determine feasibility of scaling up such an initiative across all PHNs in Australia. The trial will be implemented in two phases and a number of stages using an adaptive model.
Through identifying the barriers to prevention approaches in primary care, such as practice facilitation (which has the potential to play a key role in primary care redesign), there is the potential to improve the coherence of the PHN effort in reducing the burden of chronic disease in Australia and in using resources more effectively to better prevent and manage chronic disease.
This project is led by Professor Andrew Wilson and Dr Melissa Hobbs, of The Australian Prevention Partnership Centre.
The first step of the project involved conducting a Prevention Workshop in August 2018, attended by representatives of more than 20 PHNs, as well as academics and Department of Health representatives. Stakeholders showcased some examples of prevention approaches in primary care and discussed what works and what doesn't work when implementing prevention initiatives and the types of prevention approaches that could potentially be implemented by PHNs.
Following the workshop, a Community of Practice (PHN Prevention Network) was established based on feedback from PHNs that there was no information sharing mechanism or support network to advocate for the common interests of PHNs in relation to prevention of chronic disease. The purpose of the CoP is to provide a way for PHN representatives to share and exchange knowledge, tips, and best practices, ask questions of their colleagues, provide support for each other, encourage the free flow of ideas, and provide a forum to identify solutions to common problems.
We are currently in the planning stage for the trial of a practice facilitation model and are seeking stakeholder input.

I made a comment on this page on 10.07.2015 (see below. Ed). Despite the prompt action received at the time from Glynn and Louise I regret to say that my front door is still warped and does not fit. Daylight can be seen through the edges of the door. It is also very draughty. My son subsequently contacted Crown at the end of August asking why nothing had been done. A joiner visited a week later to inspect the door and agreed that it was badly warped but, to date no further action has taken place although I was assured that the new door would take about four weeks to arrive.
Why so long? Who is responsible for such a delay?
Why am I having to wait so long for action?
Whose in-tray has this sat in for so long a time?
Why am I paying a service charge for such slow and inferior service?
Has anyone else out there received this lack of attention or am I the only unlucky one?
Why is there no Number 5 Mansion House?
There's 1-4 & 6-10, but no number 5! Can anybody share some insight into this?
I read the comments here on the "alternative Devington Park" site from time to time and feel that the original comments and concerns are less valid as time progresses. Indeed much of the voiced concerns have not materialised and in fact most has not changed other than perhaps being carried out by someone different or in a slightly different way. I congratulate the board and the new staff on their progress. I am happy for these comments to be published on this site, along with my name. Thank you.
Whist my son was visiting he noticed that my front door appeared a bit warped and may well leak, letting in the rain. We were due to go out shortly, but before we went, we phoned Crown Property and spoke to Louise, who assured us that some one would come and look at it. Almost as soon as we had put the phone down Glynn was with us, and after a brief chat about it we headed off out. On our return Glynn met us and had already spoken to the carpenters. We are very impressed with the service these two gave, polite and efficient, brownie points to both of them!
I share your views on the disgracefull state of the gardens now and want some immediate action from the Board to rectify the situation.
We were wondering about purchasing a property at Devington Park, but have found filed management accounts for 2013 are completely blank (legal but unhelpful). More disturbing is the accounting policy that states (P&L) accounts will not show income from lessees, or expenditure on maintenance even if/when published. Just what IS going on?
Firstly may we say that should you purchase a property at Devington Park we are certain that you would not be disappointed. Devington Park is a great place to live.
With regards to the 2013 accounts - we are not at all sure where you found the filed accounts? Would it have been via Company House?
You may be aware that we are not the 'official' website for Devington Park. We would suggest that you, as interested potential buyers, contact the Devington Park Management Agents, Crown Property Management (address as below), and request that they send you a copy of the relevant accounts, and also for them to answer your question regarding the accounting policy. Should you not receive a copy of the accounts, please return to us and we will find a way of sending a copy to you.
We hope that our reply helps in the meantime.
So now our flowerbeds are to be laid to lawn. This is not what l bought into when l chose to live in Devington Park. Surely the residents must have some say in these decisions. We are paying an increased maintenance charge and for what?
"I have to ask who's decision it was to make staff redundant rather than ask the leaseholders for their opinion on such an important matter. Obviously the decision was a disastrous one, as we have now lost all of the combined knowledge and skill that we had. Should we not all democratically have a say-so in these larger decisions that affect the site by means of email or by online survey. From the letter, it stated that the service change would have risen, but still only to what it was 2 years ago. As a one off to keep staff and cover the fire risk assessment, I would have agreed. I think that there should be some kind of EGM whereby the board members can answer to the fee paying leaseholders. Talk about reducing the home values, the care and attention of the sites 'caretaking' has seemingly been lost forever."
May i wish both David and Matt best wishes for the future and many thanks for all their hard work."
- "Isn't it now time, given the recent developments, for the residents to have the opportunity to voice their concerns!"
External painting is badly needed in many places, and if it deteriorates further the value of our properties will be seriously affected. Surely the painting alone is a full-time job. And who will now clean the staircases and passageways?"
- "I am very concerned to hear that both David AND Matt have apparently left, having been made redundant. I appreciate that there is a need to save money, but to lose both maintenance personnel smacks of mismanagement, or at the very least carelessness. It could have been handled so much better.


What happens after templates are uploaded to the Widen Collective?
When designers upload templates from InDesign to the Widen Collective, templates are assigned into template groups that are marked as default and will be unreleased. A badge with a number of unreleased templates displays on the Manage templates page as a notification to you that action is needed.
From the page, you can assign assets to the template and see assets that are assigned, move it into the appropriate template groups or add it to additional template groups, release it for users to customize, and expire the template.


BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union urged the Libyan National Army (LNA) forces of General Khalifa Haftar on Thursday to stop their offensive on the Libyan capital Tripoli.
The statement from the bloc's top diplomat, Federica Mogherini, had been held up for a day as France and Italy sparred over how to handle the escalating conflict.
The LNA was facing the forces of the U.N.-recognised government of Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj's in Tripoli on Thursday.
"The military attack launched by the LNA on Tripoli and the subsequent escalation in and around the capital are endangering civilians, including migrants and refugees, and disrupting the U.N.-led political process, with the risk of serious consequences for Libya and the wider region, including the terrorist threat," Mogherini said in a statement.
"The European Union and its Member States call on all parties to immediately cease all military operations. The LNA and all the forces that have moved into Tripoli or its vicinity must withdraw and the humanitarian truces called by the U.N. must be heeded."


It's hard to believe that a decade has passed since the news of Sean Paddock's death rocked my world.
We had been back in the U.S. for just under a year. God had already worked on my heart in ways that changed my attitude and actions towards my children. I understood the conventional wisdom about the rightness of spanking was a cultural value more than something mandated in the Bible.
And then Sean Paddock died.
Died of child abuse. Died at the hands of his adoptive parents. Died a young four-year-old boy, acting simply as four-year-old boys act.
Within many churches and home school circles, copies of this self-published book was handed out to every new parent by others who bought it at great discount by the case. I read it in the early '90s, while babysitting for a lovely family. Just enough sounds good or Biblical–build relationships, "tie heart-strings," nurture your children–and just enough Bible references are scattered throughout, that many parents have bought in to its harmful teachings.
Then Sean Paddock died. Slowly the few voices that had warned about the extremism of the Pearls' teachings grew. I thought it would shock enough Christians that churches as a whole would stop promoting these teachings. But not everyone was listening. . .
And, honestly, I know there are many hundreds or thousands more who have been abused at the hands of their well-intentioned, loving and Christian parents. Perhaps others have died from the abuse, but the connection has not been made to TTUAC by the media.
Still some parents are lured by the promises of Michael and Debi Pearl of instant obedience and fewer spankings, charmed by their folksy common-sense stories, and deceived by their shiny website with faces of happy families. Some are not only sucked into their false teachings, but promote them actively to others.
Three children died of abuse at the hands of their Christian, adoptive parents.
And people STILL defend "To Train Up a Child" and the Pearls.
February will always be a month for me to remember. I believe we all need to mourn these little ones and warn other parents.


Writing for Free, On Spec, and Legit Samples – What's the Difference?
Writing for free is something, as a general rule, I don't do – except of course when I do.
After all, I'm a professional with excellent credits and like others need and deserve to be paid what I'm worth. Yet I spent part of this weekend writing quite a bit for free.
Maybe I should have a category of "it depends" because so much of the writing game is like that – no certain or standard answers despite what we experts sometimes seem to say.
Friday I found a job listed that truly excited me. It seems like something I not only could do well, but thoroughly enjoy as well. He asked applicants to read a sample of the kind of thing he wants, watch a couple of short videos, tell him if we wanted the gig and to quote a price for doing something similar with a draft document. I was way to tired to take that on Friday evening, so I started on Saturday morning.
The only way I know how to estimate a price, particularly of something I haven't done before, is to actually time myself doing some of it. So I did just that. First I spent maybe an hour + reading and rereading/watching the material he had linked to.
Then I turned on Toggl and began to tackle the draft. I reordered the document, did light editing on the first couple of pages, added one item I thought fit and after careful proof reading submitted my application. I included a price based on about three hours of actual editing and writing work which is what my timing showed me it would take to do the draft document from scratch.
Was that writing for free or on spec?
Great question. I wrote it hoping to get the gig, so in that sense I wrote on speculation. Not too difference than writing an article on speculation for a magazine. I truly felt spending the better part of a weekend day on this was worth my while. I loved the material. I learned from the material. I liked this guy's style. It was a gamble I was willing to make. I considered what I sent him a legitimate sample of my understanding of what he wanted.
As creatives I think it makes total sense to take the occasional risk like this.
When is sample writing for free not legitimate?
You can't always tell when a prospective client asks for a sample if it's really because they want to evaluate your writing or if they are scamming for free content. There are those scams out there. I'd be highly surprised if this were one of them. Far too much thought had gone into his posting it seems to me.
I think I judge based on the tone of the request, the length of the sample or number of samples they want. If they want one short sample and their topic is quite different from anything I'm already showing samples of, I may go for it. This one fit my personal bill – your mileage will vary.
Red flags for me are asking for more than one free sample, no explanation of why they think they need one, and anything about the ad or the person that just feels sleazy to me.
Yes, I'm making a judgement based on my experience and intuition and if I'm wrong, so be it.
Mostly I don't recommend you and others do much writing for free is because it can become a trap. If you write for free for one friend, another may expect the same treatment, etc.
Besides, most writers need to get in the habit of charging for their work. And many need to learn how to charge more.
On the other hand, not everyone writes well. We can be of huge service to the people and groups we love by helping them with their writing. Take me, for example. For several years I've drafted the annual fundraising letter for the zen Buddhist community where I live; this year I missed the email asking me to do it and someone else took over! There's a lesson there too isn't there? I was able to help with editing and my contribution was valued.
Writing for free can be a marvelous gift – use it wisely.
I write for free (guest blogging) when it's good exposure, and I get a link back to my site. However, I recently had a big-time publication ask me to write for them, but I had to contribute one article a month, and I had to commit to at least six months — and it was unpaid — that in my opinion is a lousy deal. I passed on that opportunity.
Good for you, six months of free articles, or 6 articles for exposure only is a ripoff… Glad you passed.

Q: Address Table Scheme for Geolocation services I have a SQL database with tables such as Stores, Users, etc.
Both Store and User, as well as other entities, have an Address.
I am considering creating an Addresses table for all Addresses:
Users
--------
UserId (PK)
AddressId (FK)
Name

Addresses
--------
AddressID (PK)
CountryID (FK) -> I have a table Countries with all Countries
Street
PostalCode
Locality
Region
Latitude
Longitude

When a user is filling the Profile I would have an input to type the address.
I would like to use Google Geocoding API to convert the typed address into its fields and save it into the database including Latitude and Longitude.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/start
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/geocoding
I have a few questions:

*

*Is my Address table scheme appropriate for this?

*I am planing to use Google Geocoding API so should I store the PlaceId then Google returns on my database?
My main objectives are:

*

*Convert the address typed by the user into address fields and save to database;

*By having the Latitude and Longitude of the address type by the user in my database I will be able to search them by location.
Example: Get users of my application in a radius of 20 km of a London address.

A: Did you thought about to separate the HouseNumber? Some external Services or API's require this. Its easier to concat this fields if required.
There is a geography Datatype for geolocations: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/spatial-geography/spatial-types-geography?view=sql-server-2017
With this type you can query the Database performantly with some geo functions e.g. distance between two points.
I wont save the Google-API result directly. Use your own required schema.
If you use the geography type you can query with Long/Lat and Distance by radius.

Until the late 1930s, Singapore was noted as a popular stop-off point for wealthy European travelers on their way to countries such as Australia and New Zealand. The outbreak of World War II changed all of that. Major General William Dobbie, who served as the General Officer Commanding Malaya between 8 November 1935 and August 1939, warned that Singapore could be conquered by the Japanese; his concerns went unheeded. Many factors led to the fall of Singapore. These included the arrogance of some senior British military personnel and politicians; a misconception that Japanese soldiers were inferior to their American and Commonwealth counterparts; a belief that Japan would not militarily engage both the United States and Britain at the same time; and the Allies' perception that victory in Europe took priority over defeating the Japanese throughout Asia and the Pacific. Singapore fell to the Japanese in 1942 and was controlled by them for the next three years. During this time Chinese civilians and Commonwealth soldiers were murdered in such incidents as the Sook Ching massacre and the Burma Railway death march. Winston Churchill decided against a public inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the fall of this bastion of empire, and no subsequent British government has seen fit to change that decision. This remarkable book tells the fascinating and largely forgotten story of the fall of Singapore.
