Oh wow.. I like it but only if someone else is doing the work!
Yeah i love that style, but sadly if that was mine it'd look like that for about 6 months, and within 5 years you wouldn't be able to see the driveway anymore.
I thought I wanted a neat look until I did it. Bored me silly and I spend all my time now working out ways to tastefully mess it up.
Neat looks good but it can be a bit boring, personally I like the messy, scattered, uneven etc look. Tends to look more natural.

Book a car for your next Miami vacation. With connections to all major car rental companies at Miami International Airport (MIA), we can simplify your transportation needs.
Miami Airport is ranked second in the U.S. for the highest amount of international passengers. For foreign travelers, driving in the U.S. on a foreign license is legal as long as it's valid and has not expired. However, it's a good idea to buy an international driving permit.
MIA is located about 7 miles from downtown Miami, so it typically takes motorists 12 minutes along the Airport Expressway to arrive in the city during non-rush hour times.
There is a wide selection of car rental brands to choose from at MIA. Once you land, take a shuttle from any of the terminals (MIA Station) to the MIA Rental Car Center (RCC in the Central Station), where the majority of Miami Airport car rental operations are located. Free shuttle buses run constantly from the arrival halls. All of the big-name companies are housed under one roof on different floors only a mile away from the airport entrance.
Advantage Rent A Car, Alamo, All Day Rent A Car, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, E-Z Rent A Car, Firefly Car Rental, Hertz, National, Payless, P & P Family Auto Rental, Royal, Sixt and Thrifty.
Many motorists do not use their blinking signals, so be ready for abrupt lane shifts and turns.
Drive defensively and look out for people talking on cell phones.
Plan your route ahead of time. There are two main bridges in Miami Beach from Miami: the Julia Tuttle Causeway, which is the I-195 bridge, and the MacArthur Causeway, which is the I-395 bridge.
During rush hour times, expect huge amounts of traffic and plan accordingly.
Select your travel dates and vehicle type below to view rates, availability & make secure online reservations in Miami. Most of the car rental companies offer compact, mid-size, full-size, luxury, convertible, suvs and many other types of vehicles.

Tesla's Ambitions Run Into The Realities Of Making Cars
By Sonari Glinton
Published July 26, 2016 at 4:21 AM CDT
Tesla vehicles sit parked outside a new Tesla showroom and service center in Brooklyn, New York on July 5. The electric car company has come under increasing scrutiny following a crash of one of its electric cars while using the controversial Autopilot feature.
The auto industry is watching to see whether Tesla, which has its roots in the tech world of Silicon Valley, can pull off its goal of mass producing cars.
The goal hit a road bump in May when Tesla had its first fatality in a vehicle using Autopilot, a feature it offers that allows the car to do a lot of the driving.
It's supposed to be an assist. Before you engage it, it warns you not to take your hands off the wheel.
But grown-ups will sometimes act like children. (There's a whole section of YouTube devoted to people doing foolish things while using Autopilot — or freaking out — when their hands are off the wheel.)
"Well, I think it is to be expected that people are going to do things that they've been told not to do with new technology," says John Dolan with the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon. "There were stories years ago about people using lawn mowers to clip their hedges and cutting their fingers off, things like that. There's a legitimate question as to whether or not Tesla did it too early. It's also possible that the traditional automakers would wait until too late to bring a technology out."
People get killed every day in regular cars, so why all the attention over this one fatality ? Because it involves a technology that's expected to revolutionize the industry — and Tesla has been way out front.
"The way Tesla has handled Autopilot, which is sort of in beta testing out in the real world, is not something that a traditional automaker would do," says Michelle Krebs, a senior analyst with AutoTrader.com.
Krebs says the stakes for Tesla are different. For example, Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently came out with the second part of his master plan for the company. He wrote on the company's blog about getting into trucking and ride sharing at some point in the future.
The way Tesla has handled Autopilot, which is sort of in beta testing out in the real world, is not something that a traditional automaker would do.
In the day leading up to the plan's release, much of the car world waited with breathless anticipation.
"First I can't imagine that with one of the traditional automakers, and then I can't imagine the traditional automakers announcing something that was almost dreamy," Krebs says.
The new plan — which is short on details — involves building batteries, installing them, moving beyond passenger vehicles. Krebs says Tesla hasn't yet proved it can execute on its old plan to build an affordable electric car for the masses.
"It's very hard to build a car at all and they have been doing largely hand building of cars. Tesla has not yet done mass production, and mass production is very challenging," she says.
Ryan Popple, a former Tesla executive who now runs an electric bus company called Proterra, says Musk is up to the challenge.
"If anybody can run a rocket company and a car company and maybe a solar company as well, it's Elon," he says. "You have a limited amount of resources every 24 hours that you can put into projects. What's going to be really important is for Tesla to pick what's most important to advancing their clean vehicle revolution or their clean energy revolution and then do nothing else."
Advocates in the electric car world say they almost need Tesla to succeed — the same for self-driving cars. Right now a setback for Tesla could mean a setback for both technologies.

How to Spend a Weekend in London with a Difference
Whether you're travelling to London for the first time or the hundredth time, you'll no doubt want to make sure this weekend away is one to remember. And with so much to offer, you needn't do the standard touristy things, such as going on the London Eye or visiting the Tower of London. Whilst these are great, cultural things to do – why not have a go at making your visit to London a unique one?
With that in mind, here are some cool ideas for your next city break to London:
Go to the Markets
If you like to grab a bargain and you love to go to markets, you'll not be disappointed with what's on offer in London. For example, Borough Market boasts plenty of fresh fruit and veg, scrumptious street food and lots of baked treats. Or, if you're looking for vintage clothes, antique furniture and plenty of bric-a-brac, you might want to head down to Brick Lane Market. And don't forget to venture to Columbia Road, where you'll find trees, bulbs, shrubs and plants, which are perfect for the discerning gardener.
Just remember – if you are going to spend your weekend touring the markets, you might want to book an apartment (like Urban Retreats Apartments, for example) because then you'll have somewhere to store all your buys, and cook your produce!
Explore Its Quirky Cuisine
London is renowned for its food, and its Michelin-star restaurants in particular. But you needn't spend a fortune on food while you're travelling around London. There are plenty of unique restaurants to dine in, including the Rainforest Café, which boasts a tropical theme and is aimed towards the kids. Or, if you're a fan of Forest Gump, you may want to head down to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. This cool restaurant has been based on the film and is centred around Alabama and the main characters. Plus, you can enjoy everything from jambalaya to grilled steaks!
Brace Yourself for a Ghost Tour
Because London's steeped in history, there's plenty of tales to tell, and some of these have a ghostly element to them. So why not book yourself on one of the ghost tours that are available and put on your bravest face? For example, you may want to visit the Black Lion Pub in Hammersmith as it's believed to be haunted by Thomas Millwood. He was mistakenly shot in 1803 because someone thought he was, rather ironically, the original Hammersmith Ghost who had been terrorising the area. However, it was later revealed that this was, in fact, a shoemaker, John Graham, who'd been dressing up to scare people.
One thing's for sure, whatever you like to do in your spare time, there's something on offer in London – from unique sightseeing tours to gastronomic events.

How British People Like to Spend Their Time

The Continental GT model got a mild refresh for 2011. The outside may look about the same, but the engine got retuned for 15 more horsepower. It is available with a new "80-11 Edition" package that includes unique black paint, 20-inch wheels, special black trim all over, white contrast stitching inside, white carpet trim and extra emblems inside and out.
The Continental Supersports model gets a new convertible variant.
With a price range hovering around $200,000, no one could call the Bentley Continental entry-level. With the finest hides used in the interior, the powerful W12 engine and the stunning design of the Continental lineup, it is one of the finest driving machines on the road today. Where other ultra-luxury automakers assume the owner will have a driver, Bentley assumes the owner will want to take the wheel himself, and he will be rewarded with unmatched performance and the high-end fabrics and matched veneers that are used throughout the car. Standard features for the Continental are impressive enough to be available only as expensive options on other luxury sedans.
There are three models of Continental for the Bentley fan to choose from. The Continental GT, which comes in coupe and convertible form. The Flying Spur is a 4-door Continental. The GT and Flying Spur have been given the Speed treatment, which increases horsepower and sport-tuned suspension. At the top of the line sits the Continental Supersports supercar, a car capable of running on gasoline, biofuel or any combination thereof. It gains a convertible variant in 2011.
All of the Continentals start with Bentley's 6.0L W12 engine. In the base GT coupe and GTC convertible, it makes 567 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. The Flying Spur's engine has the same capabilities as the GT, but with its heavier 4-door body, it's a tad slower. In the Speed versions of these cars, the same engine makes 600 horsepower and 553 lb-feet of torque. The Supersports, however, has no problems with sluggishness, thanks to its 621 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque.
The Supersports deserves its own consideration, as it has a new Quickshift transmission that cuts shift times in half and allows double downshifts, plus a lower, sportier front suspension, continuous damping control, 20-inch Pirelli tires and the largest carbon ceramic brakes ever fitted to a production car. Even its central computer is programmed to make the most of the engine and driving assistance systems for the highest performance.
Once you've decided on a body type and how fast you want to go, the standard features and options list for all models of the Bentley Continental are similar. Keep in mind, though, that Bentley offers near infinite customization of any model. But your basics include bi-xenon headlights with washers, LED taillights, heated power mirrors, rain-sensing windshield wipers, 19-inch wheels and your choice of 16 standard paint colors. The GTC models have a choice of five fabrics for the cloth top.
The interior has paddle shifters, a start/stop button, burr walnut veneers, navigation system, Sirius satellite radio, Bluetooth, 4-zone climate control and 17 standard leather colors for the upholstery. Some models also come with standard park distance control, heated massaging rear seats and more. Options are really icing on the cake and include 20-inch wheels, carbon ceramic brakes, heated steering wheel, premium audio system designed for Bentley by Naim, iPod interface and adaptive cruise control.
The GT offers a new 80-11 Edition package that includes 20-inch special alloy wheels, drilled pedals a unique black paint and special interior trim items including white stitching on the seats and floor mats. It will add $9,350 to the price of your Continental GT.
All Continentals offer a dazzling array of exterior paints, seat trims and interior wood veneers, allowing unmatched customization potential.
Get up-to-date information on the 2011 Bentley Continental Supersports. Read in depth about this model's features, specs, performance, and much more. Let Bestride.com be your guide to finding your next car.

The US requires nursing dwelling workers to get injections or lose federal funding
Denise King, a staff member at the Crown Heights Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation, will receive a
Yuki Iwamura | Reuters
U.S. officials plan to withhold federal funding from nursing homes that don't fully vaccinate their employees against Covid-19, a Biden government official confirmed to NBC News on Wednesday.
The new policy, which would hold back funding for Medicare and Medicaid nursing homes that fail to comply, could go into effect as early as next month, the official said, although the timing is fluid. This would affect around 15,000 nursing homes, which employ more than 1.3 million people nationwide.
The move comes as the highly contagious Delta variant is causing a surge in new cases nationwide, and federal officials say they are starting to see signs of declining vaccine protection against mild and moderate illnesses.
According to data compiled by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, roughly 60% of nursing home workers nationwide are vaccinated – much less than the 82.4% of residents who received the vaccinations. In some states, the percentage of nurses who have been vaccinated is even lower.
Some medical experts have asked the U.S. government to pressure nursing homes to vaccinate their staff, saying the unvaccinated staff put older residents at greater risk, who are more likely to become seriously ill or have something called a breakthrough infection.
President Joe Bien is expected to detail the plan later Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, federal health officials announced that they plan to provide booster shots to most Americans from the week of September 20th. They said it was "very clear" that immunity decreased after the first two doses, and with the dominance of the Delta variant, "we are gradually seeing signs of decreased protection against mild and moderate illnesses."
"Based on our latest assessment, current protection against serious illness, hospitalization and death could decline in the coming months, especially for those at higher risk or who were vaccinated during the earlier stages of vaccination," said the statement signed by CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Acting FDA Commissioner Dr. Janet Woodcock, White House Senior Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci, and other US health leaders.
Nursing home residents, health care providers, and the elderly – the first groups to be vaccinated in December and January – will be targeted, according to Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, likely prioritized to get extra vaccinations.

2 Crows Brewing Co. is the brainchild of husband and wife duo Mark and Kelly Huizink and brewer Jeremy Taylor. They brew modern beers with care and focus on quality. Their aim is to get people thinking about craftsmanship, where their beer is coming from and the various characteristics that make beer great.
Brewed with a base of Pilsner, wheat, rye, and oats, and hopped lightly with Calypso and Azacca hops. A portion of the beer was soured with lactobacillus, and blended with the rest of the beer once the desired acidity was reached. Fermented with a blend of house brettanomyces cultures, and lightly dry hopped with Enigma hops before packaging. .
Funky, bright, super dry, lightly pithy. Notes of Pinot Gris, lemon zest, and rock melon, with a firm minerality and a touch of tartness. .

Auguste Sallé (* 21. Oktober 1820 in Paris; † 5. Mai 1896 ebenda in der rue Guy de la Brosse 13 im 5. Arrondissement) war ein französischer Naturforscher und Forschungsreisender. Sein vorwiegender Forschungsschwerpunkt galt der Entomologie, doch interessierte er sich auch für die Ornithologie und die Malakologie.

Leben und Wirken
Obwohl Sallé ein hochqualifizierter Forscher und Tierpräparator war, kam er nie in den Genuss eines wissenschaftlich geförderten Auftrages. Alle seine Reisen finanzierte er selbst. Im Februar 1831 brach er im zarten Alter von elf Jahren mit einem Herrn Vasselet und seiner Mutter Catherine Sallé geb. Caillard zu seiner ersten Reise nach Mexiko auf. Seiner Mutter widmete er später Ornismia Catharinae, ein Name der heute als Synonym für eine Unterart der Zwergelfe namens (Mellisuga minima vielloti) (, 1812) gilt. Viele der gesammelten Insekten dieser Reise wurden von seinem Patenonkel Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat (1799–1884) in dessen Werk Coléoptères du Mexique beschrieben. Zumindest bis ins Jahr 1835 besuchten sie die mexikanischen Bundesstaaten Veracruz, Puebla und Tlaxcala. Nach seinem Mexiko-Aufenthalt zog er weiter nach New Orleans, wo er ebenfalls sammelte. Die Ausbeute von 5200 Käfern schickte er an Chevrolat, der diese 1839 zum Verkauf anbot.

Er besuchte und sammelte auf der Insel Saint-Domingue, in Mexiko, insbesondere in den Bundesstaaten Veracruz, Oaxaca, Puebla und Tlaxcala, auf Kuba und einem Teil der Bahamas, sowie anderen Teilen Mittelamerikas.

Zwischen 1846 und 1848 brach Sallé zu einer zweiten Forschungsreise nach Zentralamerika auf. Hier sammelte er beispielsweise am Río Dulce in Guatemala. In dieser Zeit hielt er sich auch in Caracas auf. Hier studierte er gemeinsam mit Marco Aurelio Roja (1831–1866) die Insekten Venezuelas. In Venezuela sammelte er in verschiedenen Gebieten. Die gesammelten Vogelbälge schickte er nach Paris. Nach deren Ankunft in Europa wurden sie von Gustav Hartlaub (1814–1900), Charles Lucien Jules Laurent Bonaparte (1803–1857), Frédéric de Lafresnaye (1783–1861) und Philip Lutley Sclater (1829–1913) beschrieben.

Zur Reise nach Santo Domingo der Hauptstadt der Dominikanischen Republik brach er am 8. Juni 1849 auf. Hier machte er Santo Domingo zu seinem Hauptquartier. Es war der Ort von dem er zu neun Forschungsreisen aufbrach. Während der ersten Reise besuchte er die Provinzen Baní und Azua. Bei seinem zweiten Ausflug erforschte er die Provinz San Cristóbal. Seine dritte Exkursion führte ihn durch die Provinzen Baní, Azua, San Juan und die Sierra de Neiba. Hier erkundete er die Gegend um den Lago Enriquillo, sowie den Salzberg Cerro de Sal. Nachdem er im fruchtbaren Cibao-Tal in der Provinz La Vega war, kehrte er über die Provinz Barahona zurück. Sein vierter Ausflug ging erneut in die Provinz San Cristóbal. Es folgte eine Reise über Cotuí, der Hauptstadt der Provinz Sánchez Ramírez, in die Provinzen La Vega nach Moca in der Provinz Espaillat weiter über die Provinzen Santiago, die Sabana de Pontón in der Provinz Duarte, Río Yaque del Norte in der Provinz Monte Cristi nach Puerto Plata. Die sechste Exkursion führte ihn über die Sabana Grande in der Provinz San Cristóbal, die Städte El Seibo und Higüey, sowie Kap Macao, Kap Espada und Kap Engagno im äußersten Osten der Insel. Es folgte die siebte Reise in die Provinzen San Cristóbal, Azua und Sierra de Neiba. Als er nach Cotuí aufbrach, lag sein Forschungsschwerpunkt auf der Botanik. Schließlich reiste er bei seinem neunten und letzten Ausflug erneut durch die Provinz San Cristóbal. Am 8. Juli 1851 schiffte er zur Rückkehr nach Europa ein.

Im Laufe des Jahres 1854 wird erneut Mexiko das Ziel seiner Reise. Seine Ausbeute bis zu seiner Rückkehr im Jahr 1856 war reichlich. In dieser Zeit durchstreifte er vor allem den Bundesstaaten Oaxaca, aber auch Veracruz, Puebla waren Teil seiner Erkundungsreisen. Auf dieser Reise war er immer wieder mit anderen bekannten Sammlern und Naturforschern wie Adolphe Boucard (1839–1905) und François Sumichrast (1829–1882) unterwegs. Viele der gesammelten Vögel wurden von Philip Lutley Sclater (1829–1913) in seinen Artikeln Catalogue of the Birds collected by M. Auguste Sallé in Southern Mexico, with descriptions of new species, On Parus meridionalis and some other species mentioned in the Catalogue of Birds collected by M. Salle in Southern Mexico, List of additional species of Mexican Birds, obtained by M. Auguste Sallé from the environs of Jalapa and S. Andres Tuxtla, On a collection of birds received by M. Sallé from Southern Mexico, On a collection of birds received by M. Sallé from Oaxaca Southern Mexico oder On a collection of birds received by M. Sallé from Oaxaca Southern Mexico beschrieben. Seine malokologischen Exponate landeten in der Sammlung von Hugh Cuming (1791–1865) und wurden von Ludwig Georg Karl Pfeiffer (1805–1877) in seinen Artikeln Description of Forty-seven new species of Helicea, from the collection of H. Cuming, Description of a new Genus and Twenty-three new species of Pneumonopoma, from the collection of H. Cuming, Description of twenty-seven new species of Land-Shells, collected by M. Salé in the State of Vera Cruz, Mexico, Description of Thirty-three new species of Land-Shells, from the collection of H. Cuming und Beschreibung neuer Heliceen beschrieben.

Im Jahr 1862 publizierte er zusammen mit François Charles Émile Fauqueux-Parzudaki (1829–1899) einen Vogelkatalog seiner mexikanische Sammlung. Dieser erschien unter dem Titel Catalogue des oiseaux du Mexique composant les collections de M. A. Sallé. Als Adresse gab er die Rue Guy-de-la-Brosse, 13 an. In seinem Review zum Katalog schrieb Gustav Hartlaub (1814–1900):

Seine malakologische Ausbeute wurden u. a. von Ludwig Georg Karl Pfeiffer (1805–1877), Robert James Shuttleworth (1810–1874), Wilhelm Bernhard Rudolph Hadrian Dunker (1809–1885), Lovell Augustus Reeve (1814–1865) und Joseph Charles Hippolyte Crosse (1826–1898) analysiert und publiziert.

Während der Belagerung von Paris soll er die Sammlung von Maximilien de Chaudoir (1816–1881) in seine Obhut genommen haben.

Im Jahr 1880 besuchte Charles Barney Cory (1857–1921) Europa um sich neues naturhistorisches Material zu besorgen. Bei seiner Stippvisite in Frankreich besuchte er u. a. Sallé und Adolphe Boucard, die sich in Paris als Naturalienhändler niedergelassen hatten. Um 1880 kauften Osbert Salvin (1835–1898) und Frederick DuCane Godman (1843–1819) die umfangreiche Insektensammlung Sallés. Sie war die Grundlage für viele Arten, die unter ihrer Federführung im Werk Biologia Centrali-Americana von Autoren wie Martin Jacoby (1842–1907), Henry Walter Bates (1825–1892), David Sharp (1840–1922), Henry Stephen Gorham (1839–1920), Joseph Sugar Baly (1816–1890) und George Charles Champion (1851–1927) zum ersten Mal für die Wissenschaft beschrieben wurden.

Sallé verstarb nach langer Krankheit in seiner Residenz in der 13, Rue Guy de la Brosse in Paris. Nach seinem Tode wurden seine Buchbestände in einer Auktion versteigert. Den Katalog zur Auktion lieferte Henri Deyrolle (1827–1902). Die Auktion dauerte vom 18. bis 27. Februar 1897.

Mitgliedschaften

Im Jahr 1841 stelle er Victor Debouchel (1820–1864) der Société Cuvierienne als neues Mitglied vor. Er selbst schien der Gesellschaft nie beigetreten zu sein. Im Jahr 1852 wurde er Mitglied in der Société entomologique de France. Damals wohnte er in der Rue Fontaine-Saint-Georges, 12. Im Jahr 1875 wurde er Fellow of the Entomological Society of London. Es folgte im Jahr 1888 von der Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia die Wahl zum korrespondierenden Mitglied. Des Weiteren war er Mitglied der Société de Géographie, korrespondierendes Mitglied der Zoological Society of London, der Sociedad Mexicana de Historia Natural, Varaguasia de Caracas etc.

Dedikationsnamen
Wie sehr Sallé als Sammler in der Wissenschaft bekannt war, zeigt sich in der enormen Anzahl an Widmungen, die ihm zuteilwurden.

Vögel
In der Ornithologie ehrte ihn Charles Lucien Jules Laurent Bonaparte (1803–1857) in einer Unterart des Buschtinamus (Crypturellus cinnamomeus sallaei) (, 1856), des Nördlichen Veilchentrogons (Trogon caligatus sallaei), des Weißbrauen-Waldsängers (Granatellus sallaei) (, 1856). Auch Jules Bourcier (1797–1873) mit dem Graubauch-Schattenkolibri (Phaethornis augusti) (, 1847), Jules Verreaux (1807–1873) mit einer Unterart der Montezumawachtel (Cyrtonyx montezumae sallei) (, 1859) machten ihm bei der Namensgebung ihre Aufwartung. Bei Chrysotis sallaei handelt es sich um ein Synonym für die Haitiamazone (Amazona ventralis) (, 1776). Die 1891 von Adolphe Boucard beschriebene Art Florisuga sallei gilt heute als Synonym für den Weißnackenkolibri (Florisuga mellivora) (, 1758).

Spinnentiere
Mit Cupiennius sallei Keyserling, 1877 nannte Eugen von Keyserling (1833–1889) ein Spinnentier nach Sallé.

Amphibien
Auch in der Herpetologie fand sein Name Einzug. George Albert Boulenger (1803–1857) beschrieb eine Schlange unter dem wissenschaftlichen Namen Geophis sallaei Boulenger, 1894. Der Name des Froschlurchs Hylodes sallaei (Günther, 1869) gilt heute als Synonym für Craugastor rhodopis (Cope, 1867)

Fische
Auch in der Ichthyologie kam Sallé zu Ehren. So beschrieben Albert Carl Ludwig Gotthilf Günther (1830–1914) den Fisch Aztecula sallaei (Günther, 1868) und Charles Tate Regan (1878–1943) den Fisch Atherinella sallei (Regan, 1903).

Muscheln und Schnecken
Im Bereich der Malakologie widmete ihm César Auguste Récluz (1799–1873) eine Muschelart namens Mytilopsis sallei (Recluz, 1849). Gérard Paul Deshayes (1795–1875) nannte eine Schnecke Impages salleana (Deshayes, 1859).

Höheren Krebse
Schließlich machte ihm John Sterling Kingsley (1854–1929) mit der Krebsart Palaemon sallei Kingsley, 1882 seine Aufwartung. Allerdings ist dieser Name heute ein Synonym für Macrobrachium ohione (Smith, 1874).

I've been thinking a lot about college students this week. It's probably because I get to lead the College Community Group tomorrow night at GW.
But it's also because Laura and I took the boys to Georgetown last week on our family rest day. We ran around campus, ate lunch and tried to explain that Mommy and Daddy both went to school here – I don't think they were buying it! To be honest, it was kind of surreal. I kept picturing 19 year old John running around those same spaces and marveling at how much my life had changed. When I was in college, I wasn't sure I would get married and I was pretty sure I wouldn't ever have kids. And now here I was with three beautiful examples of God's grace in my life.
But what 19 year old John would NEVER have seen is that 38 year old John would be the Pastor of Restoration City Church. I would have laughed, wondered what tragedy prevented me from getting a real job and then laughed some more. But Jesus has a funny way of leading us to places we never thought we would go. When I finally understood the gospel in the second semester of my junior year, everything started changing. My friends. My interests. My view of the world. How I liked to spend my time. Everything.
That's why college students are such a big deal for us at Restoration City. I know first hand the power of God grabbing hold of someone's life during that university moment. It can change everything. That's why the 3rd member of our staff team is a college pastor. That's why we devote resources every week to the college community group (they're a well fed bunch!). And that's why we do our DistrictLife summer internships – because we want to be a church that invests in the collegiate generation.
College students, we love you and we're for you! We believe God has great things in store for your lives and we want to walk alongside you into everything He has for you. More importantly, we want to inspire and equip you to shine the light of Jesus on your campus. That's what your Community Group is all about and that's what our summer internships are all about.
You can apply for our summer internship here. Just remember – the point isn't to get you to do an internship, it's to get you to burn brightly for Jesus in every sphere of life!

New Endometriosis and Menopause Support Launched by Victorian State Government
Media releases 13 Dec 2019
The Victorian Government today launched a range of new resources produced by Jean Hailes for Women's Health that will help raise awareness and manage the symptoms of endometriosis and menopause.
The free booklets, fact sheets and videos are evidenced based and thoroughly reviewed by some of Australia's leading experts in endometriosis and menopause.
Endometriosis is a chronic condition that is estimated to affect one in 10 women of reproductive age. It occurs when cells similar to those found in the lining of the uterus grow outside it. These cells respond to menstrual cycle hormones and cause bleeding at the same time as the menstrual period. Women with endo, as it's often called, can have painful and heavy periods, chronic pain, painful sex and issues with fertility. As the symptoms can be broad and difficult to pinpoint, diagnosis can sometimes take more than six years.
Menopause is the final menstrual period. Most women reach menopause between 45 and 55 years of age. Physical and emotional symptoms can vary greatly, but include night sweats, hot flushes, itchy skin, lowered mood and trouble sleeping.
"These new resources are designed to give more women the knowledge they need to seek out the right support sooner and start important conversations with doctors about management," says Minister for Health Jenny Mikakos.
"We congratulate the Victorian Government and Minister Mikakos on recognising the importance of raising awareness around endometriosis and menopause," says David Lloyd, CEO of Jean Hailes.
"At Jean Hailes for Women's Health, we believe in the power of education. It's important for us to talk about our health and the health issues of those around us, both at home and in the workplace. These new resources help open up the conversation."
The comprehensive range includes new booklets on endometriosis, menopause and one on premature and early menopause. As well as new factsheets on these topics – and a new factsheet on perimenopause, the time leading up to menopause – there are eight fact sheets for both endometriosis and menopause translated into languages including Mandarin, Vietnamese and Arabic. A new animated video explores premature and early menopause.
A full list of the new resources can be found here.

[UK / Expert] Avanti West Coast orders 23 Hitachi intercity trains
Written by Ferry Lissenberg on 06.12.2019 in Hitachi Rail, Hitachi Rail AT300, HItachi Rail AT300 Rocky Rail > Avanti WC
On Sunday 08.12.2019 Avanti West Coast, owned by FirstGroup (70%) and Trenitalia (30%), will start its operations on the West Coast Main Line, taking over from Virgin Trains. FirstGroup and Trenitalia won the tender for the InterCity West Coast (ICWC) franchise which covers the long-distance services between London Euston, the West Midlands, North Wales, Manchester, Liverpool, and Scotland, in late 2017. This week it was announced that 23 new intercity trains from Hitachi Rail have been ordered.

A dog or dogs happily romping in the backyard is a classic dog-owner dream. Achieving this, though, takes more thought than just sending your dog out in the yard and hoping for the best. Take the time to make sure your yard provides your dog with the amenities he or she needs and loves. Fortunately, pet-friendly yard amenities are also great for people as well.
3. Provide readily available shade and shelter. This is another essential, as dogs can get sunburn and suffer from heatstroke. A large tree or trees will provide shade, but if trees aren't possible, look into overhead tarps and shade cloths that stretch over part of the area.
If there's room, add a doghouse. They've come a long way from plastic boxes, as a quick look in a pet store or online catalog will show you. Browse some fantasy doghouses here and here.
4. Keep your landscaping toxin free. Some common plants are surprisingly dangerous if dogs eat them, including azaleas, lilies and mums. Check with your vet and the ASPCA for a list of plants that can irritate or even kill your pet. Landscaping materials and chemical controls can also cause problems. While mulch is a great choice for a garden and mostly soft on paws, steer clear of cocoa mulch. The smell may be great, but if your dog eats it, it can cause the same bad reactions as chocolate.
7. Choose comfortable materials. Landscaping materials shouldn't get too hot, should be easy to walk on and ideally should not cling to fur and feet. Concrete, brick, flagstone, pebbles and smooth rocks are all good choices.
Lawns are another choice, though they may be destroyed more easily than harder materials. Artificial turf is also gaining in popularity. If you go that route, check that it doesn't become too hot for tender paws.
8. Add extra features. If your dog is friendly and curious but not prone to barking at everything that goes by, you might want to create a window in a fence or gate for watching the outside world.
If your pup would prefer to survey his or her personal kingdom instead, a designated sitting spot or large flat rock might be just the right thing.
Another option is to create a fun play area. Take a hint from dog play courses and consider using plants and hardscaping to create obstacles to weave through, balance beams to walk on or tunnels to roam through. The one shown here is also people size, but you can always create one that's just dog size. It can be your pet's hiding spot. Even dogs sometimes need to get away from it all.

Employers enhancing meaningful benefits offerings to attract, keep top talent
Home Benefits Health benefits Employers enhancing meaningful benefits offerings to attract, keep top talent
By: The Canadian Press
Many companies used to boast about their modern offices with gyms, fully-stocked kitchens and even bowling alleys.
But when the coronavirus pandemic hit, sharing a meal or treadmill with a colleague became a lot less attractive to workers, who could suddenly work from anywhere and thus, for anyone. The shift toward remote work means competition for talent has never been fiercer in some industries, such as the technology sector, and Canadian companies and startups say they're going to great lengths to find new staff and keep their star workers from leaving.
Read: Hootsuite supporting employee mental health with additional week off
Unlimited vacation policies, stipends for daycare and office furniture, as well as extensive health and wellness benefits are all being offered right now, say industry executives and observers. "Many companies have had to abandon what used to be the attraction pieces for bringing people into the workplace, whether it's dogs at the office, ping-pong and foosball tables, big-screen TVs, open bars," says Bill Tam, co-founder of Digital Technology Supercluster, an organization accelerating investment in innovation. "Perks are now really much more around employee wellness and benefits that are comprehensive and supporting what [workers] need."
This shift is reflected on job website Indeed, which saw a 102 per cent increase in mentions of unlimited vacation or open paid time off between September 2020 and September 2021. The number of postings in the sector including the word "stipend" jumped by 189 per cent over the same time period.
Indeed attributed some of that growth to an increase in tech jobs, but company economist Brendon Bernard thinks plenty of it also comes from remote work "pushing the envelope" and "creating room for experimentation. When attracting talent might be difficult, it's incumbent on employers to be creative on the types of benefits they are offering."
Read: Twitter's monthly #DaysofRest initiative helping prevent employee burnout amid pandemic
Rich Emrich knows this strategy well. His Toronto-based education tech company Altus Assessments already offered unlimited vacation and a professional development stipend, so he went further during the public heath crisis. He began giving all staff the first Friday of every month off, waived the three-month probationary period for benefits and stock options and subscribed to a virtual wellness service employees can use for therapy, fitness and nutrition.
Prospective employees were hooked. "We see people say, 'Wow, I was interested in you guys because of your values and your purpose and your mission," says Emrich. "But then I see what you are doing on personal and professional development. . . . That's pretty cool."
Existing employees liked the new perks too, giving Emrich hope that some of the high performers will stick around, even as tech companies are in hiring mode and looking farther afield for talent. Amazon.com Inc., Google, Microsoft Corp., Netflix Inc., Pinterest Inc., Reddit Inc. and Twitter Inc. all announced Canadian hiring plans this year, while homegrown firms Shopify Inc. and Wattpad Corp. planned to add 2,201 technical staff and 100 workers, respectively.
Read: How Willful is using benefits, flexibility and perks to attract top talent in tight labour market
Competing with such companies can be tough for newer or smaller businesses without the budgets or revenues to dig deeper in their coffers to keep staff around or poach talent. But some workers are willing to accept a lower salary if they are given other perks. Hired, an employment platform publishing average annual salaries, found 27 per cent of tech workers would take lower pay in exchange for stock in a public company, 18 per cent for stock in a private company, 12 per cent for flexible work options and eight per cent for a performance bonus.
They rated a work schedule they desire, paid time off and health benefits as the most desirable perks, while childcare services, wellness stipends and tuition reimbursements ranked lower. Tam thinks this re-evaluation of perks is giving startups and smaller tech companies a chance to use their nimbleness to come out on top. "Many of the global companies struggle with policies around coming into the office and for how long. . . . They are struggling a bit with how to do that balance and I think it's going to be, in some respects, easier for startups and early-stage companies."
Montreal-based Mako Fintech's hoping Tam's right. The company behind tools for automating administrative and compliance tasks began offering staff unlimited vacation days during the pandemic. It also started giving employees in their first year $1,000 to be spent on their home offices and workers in subsequent years get $300 annually.

Staff like the perks, but Rachael Bouskila, Mako's chief executive officer, doesn't think they're a deciding factor. "People join a company or stay at a company to meet a number of their goals like having a good work environment, working on interesting work, having good colleagues, having good career progression and making good money," he says.
He feels one of the biggest perks that startups and smaller tech companies offer is responsibility and experience. He highlights this to candidates who interview at Mako with a job offer in hand from a big rival. "We say, 'You can join this company, but you're going to be a small cog in a very large machine and what's the chance that your stock options 10 times or 100 times compared to a company at a much earlier stage?' It's a question of what's right for them at their stage in their career."
