Every type of internal combustion engine creates heat and pressure. That pressure in turn creates even more heat. The heat comes from all of the moving parts as well as the very fact that thousands of controlled explosions are happening every minute. To keep the engine from overheating and seizing up, engines have radiators. The radiators work similar to the radiators in homes but with the opposite purpose.
Big truck radiators are large devices that exchange heat very efficiently. As a big truck's engine runs, the moving parts begin to heat up. The radiator uses some of the energy of the engine to push a coolant fluid through the pipes. The coolant fluid is a very heat-resistant fluid that does not break down even in high heat. Other liquids will either boil or actually chemically decompose in the high heat of a big truck engine. The big truck radiators in Michigan use the best possible fluids to stay cool. The fluid flows around the different parts of the engine, and the heat from the engine transfers to the coolant fluid.
As the heat transfers to the fluid, the engine cools off a little bit. Then Michigan big truck radiators direct the hot coolant back into the actual radiator which is exposed to the outside air. The coolant flows through long coils in the radiator as the heat transfers from the coolant to the outside air. When the coolant is cool again, it begins the process all over again.
Because of the high heat involved in big truck radiators, they can break down over time. You might need a professional mechanic to help repair your radiator. In other situations, you might need to completely replace your radiator. First, you should see if a coolant flush will help; if that doesn't solve your problems, you need serious radiator work.

On a sunny Monday afternoon, Nuno Vitorino is driving me to the place that is very special to him: Cascais beach. It takes some 30 minutes to drive thereto from Lisbon. He chose this place with reason. Whenever he finds the time, Nuno can be found at the beach. Surfing. 'Every time I'm at the beach, I feel butterflies in my belly', he tells me. Surfing is his life and he wants to offer all Portuguese disabled people the possibility to experience the same sensation.
Nuno Vitorino got paralysed at the age of 18 by a shooting accident. He and his friend had found a gun that suddenly went off in the hands of his friend. Although he has been sitting in a wheelchair since then, he still is a very active sporter. 'I was a Portuguese Paralympic swimmer until the age of 29, but already before my accident I had surfed. That sport has my real passion.' Out of this passion he founded Associacao Portugeasa de Surf Adapto (the Portuguese Association for Adapted Surfing) in 2009.
Whether one has a physical disability, a visual impairment or an intellectual disability: almost all people with a disability who like to can learn to surf. Young and old. That's the starting-point of Nuno. He tells me even I could learn it. Me? I can't swim. I have a bad balance. Can't use my right arm. Yes, I can. He tells me how. The surfboard should have an extra device which I can grab with my left hand and a support for my chin. Four volunteers of the association would make sure I wouldn't fall into the water by holding me tight.
Is it easy talk of Nuno? You can see Nuno in action himself in this YouTube video. Images start after some 20 seconds.
Most disabled people in Portugal are familiar with the association that works with volunteers only. Nuno is one of those volunteers who instruct surfing teachers how disabled people can surf. The volunteers also visit institutions for disabled children to inform them about the possibility of adapted surfing. During the already mentioned events 250 disabled people in total surf each year. They are being supported by 100 volunteers. Organising these events asks a lot of preparation and money.
More could be said about the association and especially about adapted surfing. But, with regard to the latter images say more than words. In case you have become interested in adapted surfing and wish to know more how it could be done, you can always look at the social media of the association. First there's the website Surf Adaptado At the moment, it's only in Portuguese, but it will be translated into English soon. Furthermore, there's the Facebook page It keeps you updated with the latest upcoming events and projects, in Portuguese, and also videos of those events can be watched. I'm curious who will have the guts to take the challenge of adapted surfing him or herself. Let me know when you did!
As always with all the people I interviewed, I asked Nuno which music he likes most. Johnny Cash is one of his favourite artists. Mine as well. Nuno had no special preference for a song. With his approval I chose for a song from the beginning of his long career, Walk the line.

To say that women do not figure prominently in the historiography of federalism is an understatement, to say the least. What could debates about the relationship between states and the federal government possibly have to do with women, particularly before the Civil War, when they lacked the rights necessary to access these levels of government? Everything, as I argue in "The Legal World of Elizabeth Bagby's Commonplace Book: Federalism, Women, and Governance," which appeared in the December 2019 special issue of The Journal of the Civil War Era. More than that, attention to federalism makes it possible to integrate women into parts of U.S. history survey courses where they are usually relegated to sidebars.
"A Visit from the Old Mistress," by Winslow Homer, 1876. Courtesy of the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.
Why is federalism about women? Conventional approaches define federalism in terms of those areas of law and governance—states and the federal government—that lay beyond the reach of most women before the Civil War. But new scholarship has extended federalism to include all of the governing order's layers, including those to which women of all races and ethnicities had some access: those linked to the state, such as county, municipal courts, and other local governing venues, as well as those that were not linked to the state, such as churches, voluntary organizations, and families. In fact, new work suggests that states and the federal government were more accessible to women and men without the full range of rights than previously thought. Of course, access did not translate into leverage. Race, ethnicity, and class shaped women's influence within these venues. Still, this new vision of federalism moves all women from the margins to the center, showing them to be more involved in the business of governance than previously assumed.[1]
How does this vision of federalism work in the context of the U.S. history survey? The new republic's founding provides a good example. Surveys generally include some treatment of Revolutionary-era state constitutions, the Articles of Confederation, and the U.S. Constitution. But the discussion usually ends there, as if states and the federal government constituted the entirety of the governing order and, moreover, that it excluded women. That was hardly the case. Petitioning, as recent work shows, allowed access even to these arenas. Local courts and other bodies at the county and municipal level, moreover, continued to operate much as they had in the colonial era. Not only did these local jurisdictions still serve as the primary governing arena for most people, but they also exercised considerable discretion over the issues that directly affected the lives of most people, including most women. It was not just the location of these venues, although that helped; it was also the body of law in operation there that made them accessible to women. Local areas had wide latitude in the area of public law, a specific, open-ended body of law, which oversaw matters relating to the general welfare–everything from interpersonal violence and property disputes to poor relief and pretty much anything else that touched on the public order.[2]
Why does public law in local jurisdictions make women more visible? It shifts the narrative from exclusion to inclusion. In one sense, the founding fathers did not remember the ladies, as Abigail Adams suggested they do: women did not acquire the rights necessary for full participation in the new institutions of government set up at the state and federal levels. But that is only part of the story. Public law as practiced in local jurisdictions remained accessible not just to all women, but also to men whose race, ethnicity, or class left them without the rights necessary for full participation at the state and federal levels. Access did not imply equality, as I'll explain below. But the key point here is that women were accustomed to being part of the public order—not in all its layers, but in some. That matters.
"Justices Court in Back Woods," painting by Tompkins Harrison Matteson, 1850. Courtesy of ARTstor.
How did women access public law when most did not have the full range of rights? Historians have tended to focus on other bodies of law, namely those that focused on the rights of individuals at the state and federal levels. But, in fact, a number of different bodies of law circulated in the new republic: not just civil or private law (which primarily protected individual rights) and public law (including criminal and the regulation of matters relating to the social order generally), but also equity, the laws followed by merchants, various military codes, and the legal rules associated with religious denominations. They all worked differently. In particular, rights were not necessary to access public law, the body of law over which local jurisdictions had considerable discretion. Cases went forward as an offense against the public order, not a rights-bearing individual, which meant that married women, minor daughters, and sometimes even enslaved women could make claims within it.
What kinds of claims did women make? All kinds. Married and enslaved women claimed property for themselves. Free black women claimed ties of belonging—citizenship—to the places where they lived, as historian Martha Jones has shown. All women challenged violence committed against them by their husbands, fathers, employers, and masters as well as physical violence, sexual assault, rape, and other injustices committed by third parties. But their complaints were not just about themselves. They also acted on behalf of friends, family members, and neighbors. Collectively, these cases suggest the issues that concerned women as well as the extent to which they involved themselves in the governance of their communities.[3] The frame of public law accentuated the communal implications of their individual actions, by turning an offense against a single woman into a public matter: it was not just one woman who was hurt by a husband's excessive force; the entire community was. See a selection of online sources provided here.[4]
What effect did their claims have? These cases could have transformative effects for individuals, when they were successful. Collectively, they formed potent legal principles that placed outer limits on expressions of patriarchal authority—but only in particular places. Local cases addressed particular problems in specific communities. They did not become a general body of law, applicable over wide spaces. Women's claims, moreover, did not necessarily challenge the structural hierarchies of the social order, even in local areas. The system accommodated them. It could, because change was not really the point of this area of law in which women worked. To the contrary: public law upheld the existing social order, including the rigid hierarchies that defined it in this period. All those who stepped out of their place fared badly. To the extent that anyone of subordinate status had credibility, it was because of the social ties that defined their subordination. The system favored the wives and daughters of respectable, white men and those who maintained their own reputations within their communities. Poor white, free black, and enslaved women had more difficulty. They could maneuver in this area of law, although they needed stellar reputations and connections to powerful people to do so—which meant that they were most successful when they conformed to the rigid hierarchies of the time. The outcomes also affirmed those hierarchies. Husbands or masters convicted of abusing their wives or slaves were disciplined because they had abused their authority, not because patriarchal authority itself was problematic. Women were allowed to keep property, without acquiring property rights that would have made such cases unnecessary.
How do women's legal actions fit within narratives of U.S. history? Bottom line: all of the cases brought by women in local courts are a central part of the history of the founding. The political landscape of the time not only included complaints about such things as women's property ownership and sexual assault, as well as debates in the Federalist Papers, but also managed to diffuse those issues, to the point where the memory of them has almost disappeared altogether. All of that is part of federalism—and the politics of the new republic. Incorporating public law in municipal and local contexts recovers the history of the majority of students sitting in the survey class. It was not that women never owned property, until married women's property acts. It was not that women remained silent about their own problems and those of their communities, until they had the right to vote. Incorporating public law illuminates the effects of federalism in real people's lives, making abstract concepts more concrete and more meaningful.

Top Philadelphia Sports Stories From 2020
By Tom Dougherty December 22, 2020 at 2:29 pm
Filed Under:2020 In Review, Local, Local TV, Philadelphia News
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — What seems like 48 months later, 2020 is finally coming to an end. Sports, like everything else, saw life disrupted by a global pandemic that continues to cause suffering every day. For Philadelphia fans, there was heartbreak, bubbles, pain, and uncertainty.
Here are the top Philly sports stories from 2020, a year everyone is eager to put in the past.
1. 'Superman's Not Supposed To Die'
On Jan. 26, a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, sent shockwaves throughout the sports world. Kobe Bryant, along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others, was killed in a tragic helicopter crash en route to Mamba Sports Academy, where he was set to coach Gianna's basketball game. A Philadelphia native, Kobe's relationship with his hometown went from high school hero to traitor to beloved. He was booed during the 2002 All-Star Game in Philadelphia, just one year after his Los Angeles Lakers beat the 76ers in the 2001 Finals. But as the years went on, Kobe's relationship with Philly softened so much so that his final game here was met with an ovation as if he once dominated with the Sixers.

In May, Kobe was posthumously inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. In July, Kobe was awarded the Emmy Governors Award. Kobe was one of the few whose last name was never needed. He inspired a generation of basketball fans to yell "Kobe" every time they tossed balled up paper into the trash during high school math class. He dominated at Lower Merion High School, leading the Aces to a Pennsylvania State Championship in 1996. He was Lower Merion's "heartbeat," and his high school coach Gregg Downer's "hero."
Before Jeremy Treatman became Kobe's assistant coach at Lower Merion, he wrote in the Inquirer on Dec. 7, 1992, about the Aces. He wrote, "Remember this name: Kobe Bryant." Everyone does.
2. #OskarStrong
Some stories are bigger than sports, and this was one. Less than a year after being diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, Oskar Lindblom not only beat Ewing's sarcoma but played hockey in 2020, in the playoffs, nonetheless. On Sept. 3, in Toronto's bubble, Lindblom returned to the lineup with the Flyers on the brink of elimination in Game 6 against the Islanders. The Flyers won but lost the series in seven games.

Still, in Philly sports, 2020 was a year of tiny victories before the ultimate win on July 2, when Lindblom completed his cancer treatments. The hockey world came together to support Lindblom during his battle. Biscuit Tees, a Cherry Hill-based company co-owned by Kim Parent and Jodi Smith, produced #OskarStrong T-shirts that not only became a fan favorite in supporting Lindblom but also were worn by other NHL teams. The proceeds also were donated to Hockey Fights Cancer. Through it all, Lindblom was rewarded with a three-year contract extension and has a bright future ahead wearing the orange and black, and he remains cancer-free.
3. Black Lives Matter
The police killing of George Floyd in May sparked an overdue nationwide reckoning about racism in America, and it elevated the Black Lives Matter movement, founded in 2013 after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the killing of Trayvon Martin, into the everyday national conversation. Athletes in Philadelphia and around the country used their platforms to bring awareness to racial inequality in the U.S.
The 76ers and Eagles have been most active in using their platforms to elevate the conversation, from demonstrating in peaceful protests to penning columns on The Players' Tribute.
Tobias Harris penned "Y'all Hear Us, But You Ain't Listening" in The Players' Tribute as well as starting a petition calling for Montgomery County Commissioner Joe Gale's resignation after "disgusting" about the Black Lives Matter movement in June. Harris also joined teammate Matisse Thybulle in a peaceful protest in Philly. Ben Simmons called President Donald Trump's response to the protests "cowardly," launched the Philly Pledge to help with the city's COVID-19 Relief Fund, and simply said, "enough is enough."
We are ALL accountable & we shouldn't have to revisit tragedies like George Floyd or Ahmaud Arbery time & time again. Enough is enough.
— Ben Simmons (@BenSimmons25) May 30, 2020
Carson Wentz said he "can't even fathom what the Black community has to endure on a daily basis," and that "institutional racism in this country breaks my heart and needs to stop." These are just a few examples of the widespread calls for racial justice among Philly athletes and in the sports world in 2020.
4. 'I've Had The Time Of My Life'
The date was Jan. 5., and the Eagles were hosting the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL playoffs. In the first quarter, Jadeveon Clowney, then with Seattle, knocked Carson Wentz out of the game with a helmet-to-helmet hit. The Birds were forced to turn to a quarterback who had played 16 years in the NFL without ever playing in a postseason game, who had retired June 2019, who was lured out of a broadcasting job after Nate Sudfeld fractured his wrist in the preseason. Josh McCown, then 40, had a night he'll never forget.

— Dan Koob (@DanKoob) January 6, 2020
McCown, playing on his 11th team, became the oldest player in NFL history to make his postseason debut and the fifth-oldest player in the league that season. The Eagles' magic with backup QBs ran out in a 17-9 loss to the Seahawks, but McCown's story was one to remember from 2020. McCown completed 18 of 24 passes for 174 yards and no touchdowns while picking up 23 yards on five carries, all the while tearing his hamstring in the second quarter. His postgame remarks were a reminder of what makes sports so special.
5. Brown Out, Doc In
The Brett Brown era in Philadelphia came to an end in 2020. Brown was fired on Aug. 24 after the Sixers were swept out of the Orlando bubble in the first round by the Celtics. Brown lasted seven seasons, "The Process," three general managers, two 50-win seasons, and three consecutive playoff exits. With Brown out, the Sixers hired Doc Rivers just days after the Clippers let him go in October. Rivers joins the Sixers with a lengthy résumé, including 16 playoff appearances and an NBA title as Boston's coach in 2008.
2020 didn't just bring change to the Sixers' coaching staff, it also brought a new president. The Sixers hired Daryl Morey as president of basketball operations. The former Rockets executive got right to work, acquiring Seth Curry, trading Al Horford for Danny Green, and signing Dwight Howard to back up Joel Embiid. And just to think "The Process" began with Sam Hinkie, who worked under Morey in Houston.
6. Flyers' playoff run
In a year that required brave faces for most, the Flyers are coming out of 2020 nearly unscathed. In fact, 2020 was a pretty good year for the Flyers. Before the pandemic struck in March, the Flyers were one of the NHL's hottest teams, seeing their nine-game winning streak end in their final pre-COVID game — a 2-0 loss to the Eastern Conference's top team, Boston Bruins. When hockey returned in the Toronto bubble, the Flyers were a four-seed entering round-robin play as the fourth seed in the East only to earn the top seed by going 3-0 with wins over the Bruins, Capitals, and the eventual Stanley Cup champions Lightning.
The Flyers beat Montreal in seven games in the first round, their first series win since 2012, and erased a 3-1 series deficit to lose in seven to the Islanders in the second round. The Stanley Cup drought lives on, but there is plenty of reasons to be optimistic. Alain Vigneault had the team exceeding expectations in his first season as coach, Carter Hart proved legit, and Ivan Provorov solidified himself as a top-pair defenseman. If Philly sports had a winner in 2020, first it was Lindblom but second, it was most the Flyers.
7. A More Perfect Union
Often forgotten in the Philadelphia sports landscape, the Union also had a year to remember. The Union finished 14-4-5 with 47 points to secure their first Supporters' Shield in club history. The Union laid an egg in their first-ever playoff game but still leave 2020 with their best season yet, the MLS Goalkeeper of the Year in Andre Blake and the MLS Sigi Schmid Coach of the Year in Jim Curtin.
8. Wentz benched
From the moment Howie Roseman selected Jalen Hurts in the second round of April's NFL draft, the clock began ticking until a quarterback controversy would begin brewing in Philadelphia. Turned out, it came a lot faster than many expected. The Eagles stumbled out of the gate this season, only to keep free falling. Carson Wentz looked broken from Week 1 until his eventual benching in the third quarter of Week 13's 30-16 loss to the Packers. Then Wentz was officially benched for Hurts in Week 14 only to see the rookie snap the Birds' four-game losing streak in a 24-21 win over the Saints, the NFL's top-ranked defense.
9. Couturier wins Selke
Sean Couturier became just the third Flyers forward to win the Frank J. Selke Trophy, by definition awarded to the NHL's top defensive forward but mostly gifted to the league's top two-way forward.
10. The Phillies played baseball
They featured one of the worst bullpens in major league history. J.T. Realmuto is currently a free agent. Zack Wheeler ripped a fingernail while putting on his own pants. This was objectively a terrible year for the Phillies. They fit right in. But there was one bright spot Alec Bohm's arrival. The Phils go into 2021 with a new president of baseball operations in Dave Dombrowski. There's always next year.

You Want to Major in What?
Consider a young man whose father offered to pay for his son's undergraduate education, but only if the son obtained a degree in business administration. The young man dutifully began his business administration degree program, but he felt unfulfilled in his courses and disconnected from classmates who seemed to have very different values and goals. After sticking it out for a year, he transferred into his university's College of Liberal Arts and declared a major in philosophy, his lifelong passion. At that moment, he lost the financial support of his family and was on his own, but he began to succeed in courses that excited his imagination.
Liberal arts majors often find themselves in situations of having to justify their chosen field of study to friends, family, and co-workers. An education in the humanities is often viewed as less lucrative than one in business or the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields, and frequent articles in the national media do little to counter this perception. Susan Adams of Forbes.com cites a study showing that no degree is better than a liberal arts degree. And in his interview with Google hiring manager Laszlo Bock, New York Times reporter Thomas Friedman reveals that companies like Google are increasingly willing to hire employees with no college degree. For those applicants with the degree, Bock prefers majors focused on computational skills.
With an economic recession in recent memory and a tight job market, students want to know that they will a receive return on their investment after graduation. Many will balance student loan payments alongside providing for their families, and perhaps even managing eldercare. At the same time, most new graduates also want their work to provide personal fulfillment. Students majoring in subjects such as English, history, linguistics, anthropology, art, and philosophy often feel torn between their passion for knowledge, and the realities of making a living.
What about the major speaks to your own pursuit of knowledge or truth, or your deep interest in a particular subject area?
What past experiences or accumulated knowledge and skills has led you to the field of study?
How can your newly acquired knowledge and skills transform your career trajectory into something that fulfills you?
How will your education in the humanities fit the needs of local employers and your community?
Liberal arts grads that actively consider these questions and act on them throughout the degree program have an easier transition into the workforce. They are also more readily able to explain how their knowledge and skills are relevant in the global marketplace.
What happened to the young man? He went on to complete a PhD in philosophy and now teaches at the college level. He combined his new knowledge with previously acquired technical skills in computer programming, web design, and instructional design. While his liberal arts degree gave him the foundation needed to pursue a career in his passion, his technical expertise enables him to leverage that knowledge to create new opportunities in online education.
Doing what you love just might be the best path to career empowerment.

Q: Excel, Formula to check availability. Check and copy values to cover each position I have the following table:

The formula I am looking for should do this:
Starting from Prod. 2 in the second table (I4):
It should check if the cell A4 is blank, then look for a value in B4 if B4 has a value copy it to I4. If A4 is not blank, no need to look for value and no need to copy it, just leave I4 blank.
In J4 it should check if cells A4:B4 are blank before looking for value C4.
...
The last one M4 should check cells A4:E4 before checking values in F4 to copy it (if there is) into M4.
The table should represent maximal availibilty. The objective is to check if there is already an value in the column before, if yes no need to act, if blank, yes look up and copy value from next column. This goes on until last column M4.
The values within in the cells are not of importance. It should simply check if like this: if there is nothing in cells A4:E4 then look up F4 and if in F4 there is a value then copy it to M4 if F4 is also blank, then M4 keeps blank.
Like this for every column. L4 would be like this--> check if A4:D4 have a value if every cell is blank then look up E4 and if E4 has value then copy it to L4 if not, leave L4 blank.....

A: I hope this gets some rep..
Column h :  Prod 1
=IF(A4="";"";A4)

Column i :  Prod 2
=IF(H4="";IF(B4="";"";B4);"")

Column j :  Prod 3
=IF(AND(H4="";I4="");IF(C4="";"";C4);"")

Column k :  Prod 4
=IF(AND(H4="";I4="";J4="");IF(D4="";"";D4);"")

Column l :  Prod 4
=IF(AND(H4="";I4="";J4="";K4="");IF(E4="";"";E4);"")

Column m :  Prod 6
=IF(AND(H4="";I4="";J4="";K4="";L4="");IF(F4="";"";F4);"")

Basketball all-star Carlos Boozer files for divorce
Divorce, and all that Jazz
By Jeffrey Cottrill Updated: July 23, 2014Categories: Celebrity Divorces, Divorce News and Statistics
Pro basketball player Carlos Boozer has accomplished a lot in only six years with the NBA — both with the Utah Jazz and in two Olympic Games stints — but his luck this season hasn't been as hot. First, he's been sitting out much of this year due to a quad injury, with Paul Milsap replacing him in the lineup. And now, the six-foot-nine forward's marriage is coming apart too.
Boozer, 27, filed for divorce from his wife, Cindy (also known as Cece), with a Miami court on March 26. The papers refer to their union as "irretrievably broken", according to the Associated Press. However, Cindy Boozer's divorce lawyer told AP in an e-mail that she hopes that they can resolve all of their divorce issues in an amicable way.
The Jazz star is seeking shared child custody and has agreed to pay child support if necessary. The couple has three children, a two-year-old as well as 19-month-old twins. In addition, Boozer wants rights to their home in Salt Lake City, where the family has been living during basketball season. (The couple's other family home in Miami is reportedly up for sale.)
The Boozers have been married for six years.
Carlos Boozer was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2002; he played with them for two seasons and then signed with the Utah Jazz. He made the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2003 and is a two-time NBA All-Star; with Team USA, he has also won Olympic Bronze and Gold Medals.

One cast iron dutch oven does it all! BBQ, deep frying, searing, simmering, braising and baking etc. The flanged lid can hold hot coals and flips over for griddling. It can also be a frying pan for meat and meals. Three integral legs keep the oven over the hot coals at a great distance. Durable handle allows you to hang it over the open fire for better cooking. And don't forget! You also got an extra lid lifter. Backyard, farm corner, camping wild, you will be sure to have a good time with Overmont Dutch Ovens.Once you understand how to clean, and season a cast iron dutch oven, it will last a lifetime.
Overmont Dutch Ovens comes pre-seasoned and ready to use, so you can make your family's favorite recipes right away. It can be used on any heat source, from the stove top to the campfire (microwave not allowed). But if you didn't dry it completely, it may get rust. Don't worry, just simply scour the rusty areas with steel wool, follow the seasoning steps and it will turn to be a brand new one.
1. Start by rubbing a thin coat of coconut oil or lard all over the entire surface. Rub off any excess with a cotton cloth or paper towel.
2. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and place a baking sheet or piece of aluminum foil on bottom rack to catch any drips. Place the pot upside down in the oven and heat for 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and let it cool to room temperature. Or you can just put it in fire and heat.
3. Repeat step 1andamp;2 several times to help season the pot faster. Although, the best way to get a really good "season" is to simply USE it. Each time you use it you are seasoning it.
All-round Dutch Oven. The integral legs on both pot and lid allows the oven sit perfectly over the campfire, also make the lid a great griddle to fry meals. Moreover, cast iron pots are not coated in toxic chemicals, safe non-stick surface and can be used both on the stove and in the oven.
Well Known as a Lifetime Pot. Compared with pots of other materials, Overmont dutch ovens are made of high quality cast iron, will last a lifetime (or more) if cared for properly. It can be a family pot also save much money for you.
Energy-saving and Environmental Protection. Heat is evenly distributed and held, making it great for deep frying, searing, and baking. It also has the advantages of heat insulation and better sealing performance, so even a new camper can do great delicious roasted chicken with this pot.
Intimate Lid Lifter. Considering the great weight of cast iron, Overmont equips a lid lifter for each of the dutch oven. Besides, the durable handle allows you to hang it over the open fire. We also design an eagle pattern on the lid as our Logo which means freedom, power, strength and desire for life.
HOW TO CARE:Once you are done cooking on Overmont dutch oven, cleanup is pretty easy. Make sure to dry it completely after clean. While the pot is still warm, lightly oil the inside of the pan with your oil of choice. Again, a super thin coat is all you need. Use a cloth or paper towel to rub off any excess.

INDALL-EMP.#: 2000 Industry classifications for all jobs (for CPS job and non-CPS jobs from 2002 forward).
"Employer" is the unit for which industries are asked in the NLSY79. Changes in industry are not asked directly but rely on the accuracy of coding across survey years. Be careful in making inferences about industry mobility as miscoding is present. When industry codes for the same employer in adjacent interview years are compared (see Work History Data for more information on linking employers across rounds), it has been found that respondents use slightly different words to describe their industry and coders may interpret the same words in different ways in different years. When one code is missing, industry descriptions are used in creating occupational codes and vice versa. Therefore, workers who change industry, even though they stay in the same firm, may generate changes in occupational codes. This problem was reduced significantly when the survey started confirming carrying forward industry information in 1994.
The 1979 industry variables for Job #1 (the CPS job) are only blank placeholders, due to the structure of the job history and "CPS" sections in the initial survey year (1979). The information is contained in the CPS section, but these variables were used as placeholders in anticipation of the future structure of the Employer Supplement.
McClaskie (1988) analyzed the extent of match between the three-digit industry codes assigned during 1979-86 for respondents who had not changed jobs since the previous interview. These codes should theoretically match if no respondent or coding error was present. This analysis found two- and three-digit matches of approximately 80 percent for most years studied.
1994-2000 All current/most recent jobs; other jobs >= 10 hours/week & >= 9 weeks worked since date of last interview. In 1994 a skip error in this instrument resulted in the industry codes for some current/most recent jobs being missed (see errata).
Two sets of variables are available for each survey year that provide information on the type of industry in which a respondent worked. Verbatim responses to questions such as "What kind of business or industry is this? What do they make or do?" have been recorded within the NLSY79 questionnaires and Employer Supplements during each year's survey. These verbatims are then coded into various versions of the Census Bureau's industrial classification system. The Census system consists of 14 industry groups, representing more than 19,000 industries.
The first set of NLSY79 variables, 'Type of Business or Industry of most Recent Job (CPS Item),' reflects the industry for the current or most recent job of those respondents who reported working for pay since the last interview. Included are those whose survey week activity was "working" as well as respondents who were unemployed or out of the labor force during the survey week but who had worked for pay since the last interview.
A second set of variables, 'Type of Business or Industry Job #1-5,' codes the industry of up to five jobs including the CPS job (generally considered to be Job #1 in 1979 and from 1993 on) in which the respondent worked since he or she was last interviewed. Industry is not re-collected for the CPS job during the administration of the Employer Supplements. After 1993 all job specific information was removed from the CPS section and is only collected in the Employer Supplements.
The 3-digit 1970 Census classifications (U.S. Census Bureau 1971) are used to code all job and training questions in the 1979-2000 surveys found in the questionnaires and Employer Supplements.
Beginning with the 1982 survey, the 3-digit 1980 Census codes (U.S. Census Bureau 1981) have been used, in addition to the 1970 codes, to classify industries of respondents' current or most recent job (also used through the 2000 survey).
For the surveys beginning in 2002, the 2000 Census codes and updated versions (U.S. Census Bureau 2000) were used to classify industries of all jobs reported by respondents.
Note: For Census industrial and occupational codes go to Attachment 3.
Comparison to Other NLS Cohorts: Information has been collected from the NLSY79 young adults on the type of industry in which they worked. Industry is collected each year from NLSY97 respondents for both employee (respondents age 14 or older) and self-employed jobs (respondents age 16 or older) according to the industrial classification system. For the Mature and Young Women, industry has been coded using 1960, 1980, and 1990 systems. The industries of Older and Young Men were recorded using 1960 codes for all years; in the final two Older Men surveys, industry was doublecoded using the 1980 system. For more precise details about the content of each survey, consult the appropriate cohort's User's Guide using the tabs above for more information.

Survey Instruments and Documentation The "Current Labor Force Status - CPS" section of the questionnaire collects the respondent's verbatim response, from which a code is assigned to the industry of his or her most recent job. The "Jobs" section of the 1979 questionnaire and, for subsequent years, the Employer Supplements gather information on the industries of all other jobs in which a respondent worked more than 10/20 hours per week for at least nine weeks since the date of last interview. Attachment 3: Industry and Occupation Codes in the NLSY79 Codebook Supplement provides the detailed codes for the Census and DOD classification systems.
Areas of Interest The census codes for industries are now consolidated under a single area of interest, "Industry and Occupation." Former areas of interest are also present as secondary areas of interest.


A lot of noise was made this month when WeChat announced it had ticked over the 1 billion monthly active user mark. This staggering number refers to WeChat's global users, a growing number of which are located outside of China.
While WeChat's user base is still predominantly Chinese, it's growing global footprint is presenting a number of opportunities for brands to target Chinese travellers and Chinese communities. In Australia, WeChat has 800,000 monthly active users and a further 180,000 in New Zealand, and those number swell with the constant waves of incoming Chinese travellers.
While WeChat official accounts remain a preference for brands hoping to develop long standing connections with Chinese consumers, in this increasingly cluttered environment marketers are seeking other alternatives.
WeChat's highly targeted advertising features, such as Moments Ads, are becoming increasingly attractive to brands looking to connect with local users – both Australian and New Zealand residents and inbound Chinese tourists.
Moments Ads are fixed banner or video ads which appear in the feed section, or Moments section of WeChat. This section is similar to the Facebook Feed and the ads are similar in the basic formats and styles. The big difference, however, is that while Facebook is saturated with advertising targeting Australian and New Zealand users, there is significantly less activity on WeChat targeting these users, which has the potential to create higher engagement rates.
WeChat Moment Ads, much like Facebook and Instagram, feature precise filter functions which enable the advertiser to narrow down to very specific target audiences and present opportunities for highly targeted and relevant advertising.
This presents advertisers and brands with the ability to not only connect with Chinese consumers in local communities but also inbound travellers from China, or even niche segments of consumers within China.
Last year more than 1.2 million Chinese travellers visited in Australia, while a further 400,000 travelled to New Zealand, all of these travellers are avid WeChat users, with many likely to spend more than 2 hours per day on the app.
Chinese travellers have a propensity to spend and Targeting these lucrative consumers with targeted WeChat Moments Ads provides local brands and marketers with an effective way to get their brand in front of Chinese consumers and potentially drive sales and attract followers for your products.
As WeChat is still a very small channel in Australia and New Zealand, brands utilising this channel will gain high cut-through rates as users are not receiving much advertising and as such are more receptive to it. Therefore, Australian and New Zealand brands that utilise the channel will have access to an otherwise hard to reach audience.
Chinese communities are tight-knit and word-of-mouth marketing remains one of the most trusted and effective form of communications. Moments Ads which incorporate entertaining or engaging creative can attract shares and retweets, ensuring they reach a larger target audience which will help the brand to collect more fans through the process.
Vodafone New Zealand utilised this format recently with a campaign targeting Chinese Kiwi's during the Chinese New Year Spring Festival. Vodafone wanted to raise awareness of its brand among New Zealand's Chinese community and encourage more people to follow its WeChat account.
UMS created a WeChat campaign, using Moment Ads to drive engagement. The branded Moments Ad received more than 200,000 impressions and over 80,000 unique visitors resulting in a 20% interaction rate to Vodafone New Zealand's WeChat profile.
This strategic approach to maximising the world's third largest social media platform provides brands with a highly targeted way to connect with audiences. As WeChat users continue to grow globally these platforms will become increasingly crowded, however, for now they represent an excellent opportunity for brands looking to engage with local users.
Are daigou short-changing Australian brands of long-term success in China?

Hobbs stands by resignation pledge
By Daisy Hudson
Marian Hobbs. PHOTO: ODT FILES
After a tumultuous tenure, Marian Hobbs has resigned from the Otago Regional Council.
The former MP was keeping mum on the decision yesterday, which followed her public declaration that she would resign if Environment Minister David Parker did not replace the council with commissioners.
Announcing the news in a statement, chairman Andrew Noone said the resignation did not trigger a by-election due to the proximity of next year's local government elections.
He paid tribute to the first-term councillor's contribution, saying she had been a ''passionate, committed, and spirited voice around the table''.
"We are grateful to Marian for her valuable work on various committees and in the Otago community, where she has had a particular focus on our mana whenua partnership, our public transport services and our work in policy and planning.''
Cr Noone said the council would consider options for the vacated seat at its next meeting.
The council could choose to appoint a replacement, or leave the seat vacant until the election.
Ms Hobbs declined to comment yesterday.
In early September, Ms Hobbs signed a petition calling for councillors to be ousted following councillors' decision to not note council staff's preferred minimum flows for the Manuherikia River, after concerns arose about ''incomplete science''.
She was among several councillors who, in a letter to Mr Parker, alleged conflicts of interest, predetermination and unnecessary delays in noting minimum flows for the river.
She said she would resign if commissioners were not appointed, and yesterday followed through on that promise.
Mr Parker last night expressed his thanks for her service.
Ms Hobbs was elected to the council as a Dunedin ward councillor, and to the role as chairwoman, in 2019.
She was ousted as chairwoman and replaced by Mr Noone in July 2020, after an acrimonious tenure.
Deputy chairman Michael Laws said some of Ms Hobbs' constituents would be disappointed by her resignation, but there were five other Dunedin councillors who would be able to pick up the slack until the election.
''People's personal circumstances change in politics all the time.''
''I've been around long enough to know that, and I never criticise people for resigning,'' Cr Laws said.
''There are myriad reasons why they might do so.
''All you can do is wish them bon voyage and good luck.''
Cr Alexa Forbes was disappointed by Ms Hobbs' decision.
''We are losing an extremely capable governor and someone who has a lot of experience and a lot of knowledge around environmental issues in particular.
''I'm sad to lose that.''
She understood Ms Hobbs felt she had not been able to do what she needed to do, and the decision was not surprising.

Take care Marian. All the Best.

Politicians often have the traits of large egos and a sense of their own self importance. Hobbs will not be missed because like the majority of ORC councillors she added very little value to the governance of Otago. She couldn't get her own way so has thrown her toys and abandoned the sinking ship. As for the remaining crew, voter turnout at the last election suggests that for the majority of ratepayers they are an irrelevance. The cost of the ORC to ratepayers is increasing but the value of what they have delivered over the term of this council and executive continues to plummet. Let's hope voters will turn out in numbers to remove this scurvy gang.
Nash Tue, 02/11/2021 - 10:20pm #
Just who do you think will replace the 'scurvy gang'? I disagree that Maria Hobbs added little value to the governance. She of all of them had years as a Member of Parliament, knew her way around, and wanted the best for our society, not for herself. Unlike Michael Laws.

Hmmm...I resign but only if I get what I want. Typifies everything that's wrong with ORC.
Decision to leave Nuggets 'tough'


I usually buy pre-made drapery panels.
A fast and relatively cheap way to dress a room as shown here in this master bedroom I staged with rental furniture, complemented by accessories I bought for the client.
I actually get paid to go shopping and I teach you how in course 3, Taking the Mystery Out of Home Staging Consultations.
Yesterday I got a call from Bob in Austin who was desperate to help his wife who had just landed her first home staging client consultation and didn't have a clue how to handle it.
It's amazing to me how often this happens. Total beginners manage to get a real paying client without even understanding what it is they've just promised to do for them.
Needless to say, Bob immediately ordered the new "Staging Diva Home Staging Consultation Checklist With Room-by-Room Client Planning Forms" to help his wife get through the afternoon with her first home staging client. I thought it was sweet that he jumped in to find a solution for her and that he was obviously very supportive of his wife's efforts at starting a new business.
The "Staging Diva Home Staging Consultation Checklist With Room-by-Room Client Planning Forms" is really two products in one.
The first part guides you through how I do a home staging consultation and the second part, the Room-by-Room Client Planning Forms, are exactly that.
I've set it up so all you have to do is put your own logo and contact information on the cover of the planning forms section and then photocopy the rest.
I've given you forms/checklists to fill out for every room in the house! You can fill it out yourself or let your client do it as you go room by room during your home staging consultation.
Then you'll have a professional looking and complete document to leave with them at the end of your meeting.
No more typing up reports after the fact and no more worrying that you'll forget some of the details. It's all laid out for you step by step, just fill in the blanks!

On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight, put on soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of Chardonnay.
Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything; cleaning and mopping and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere.
Nothing worked. People stopped coming over to visit... Repairmen refused to work in the house... The maid quit...Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.
A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out, and eventually, even the local real estate agents refused to return their calls.
Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth; but only if she were to sign the papers that very day.
Hey, it's summer! I couldn't resist just throwing in a story for fun, especially one with a decorating and real estate angle! I didn't write it, it was sent to me years ago by a friend. I wish I knew who the author was!
With summer schedules breaking up the usual routine, now is the perfect time to think about whether your summer will allow you to set aside two hours here and there to listen to the Staging Diva course recordings.
If you do, you'll be in excellent shape to launch and/or grow your staging business this fall.
Learning from home cuts your costs and time commitment. And did you know that I am the only person teaching home staging in the whole world that has a Masters degree in Marketing and has actually built a successful home staging business?
I'm still accessible but with over 500 emails a day, I need help! If you ask Sandy something directly that needs my attention, she will forward your message to me.
I'm really pleased by all the response I've received from both new and established home stagers alike to the new "Staging Diva Sales Script: How to avoid the f/ree estimate trap & turn homeowners into home staging customers in one phone conversation."
Readers find that it makes a big difference in how they talk to prospective customers and how many end up hiring them.
I'm really committed to putting an end to the ridiculous practice of doing f/ree estimates, which invariably end up being f/ree consultations. It's a fast road to burnout and bankruptcy.
So I'm pleased to hear that my new Sales Script is helping do just that. Don't forget to send me your success stories so I can write about you and give you some f/ree publicity!
I'm just back from 9 days in San Francisco, where I stayed at the W Hotel next to the Museum of Modern Art. Their hip decor is fabulous which is a big part of why I chose it for my home base. It didn't hurt that it was also part of the travel miles program I'm on and so I was able to stay there on points alone, a savings of over $3000 (you should be earning travel points, f/ree groceries, or some other bonus for using your credit card. If you're not, look at switching).
It was a great trip and the first time I completely cut myself off from business for that long a period of time. A very special thanks to my executive assistant Sandy who kept everything running so smoothly in my absence!
Ironically, National Post ran an 8-page spread on me in their Summer Homes Magazine while I was away. I wouldn't have even seen it if it weren't for an ex-neighbor who recognized me in the magazine and saved me a copy! More in Staging Diva in The News in this issue.
P.S. In the spirit of summer, I decided to include a completely non-serious (though real estate related) story in the hopes that it will give you a chuckle. Make sure you read A Summer Tale in the left column of this issue!
No matter what neighborhood you're in, a high percentage of your clients will be living with rooms that look like this. By the way, this was the basement of the very first paying client's house I staged in January 2003.
To envision how you'll create this 'after' from the mess takes some time and if you're looking at your watch wondering how you'll make it to your next appointment you don't have the time to think it through properly.
I used to race around like a mad woman trying to fit 10 homes into a week, always afraid to put a client off who needed me and fearing if I didn't see them right away they'd disappear and find another stager.
Then I realized that if you're good at what you do, and in demand because of it, clients will actually wait for you to be available.
This realization allowed me to look at my business in a whole new way and think about what scheduling decisions would serve my needs too. After all, we're in our own businesses, we should try and set things up in a way that will make us happy, right?
When I'm booking home staging consultations, I only book one per day. Yes, these are paid consultations, I don't do free estimates.
Somewhere in my second year as a professional home stager (I should have done this much sooner), I made a list of all the things that were driving me crazy about the home staging business and tried to figure out solutions to each.
will there be time to eat before the next home staging consultation?
what food can sit in my car for three hours and not make me fat (or lose control of the car) as I gobble it down while rushing to the next house?
how long will it take in traffic to get to the second client's house?
how long will the second appointment take?
will there be enough time in traffic to make it to after school pick up or do I need to arrange childcare?
when will I figure out what we're eating for dinner and buy it or make it?
Well after lots of pondering and writing in my journal about what was stressing me out, the answer finally came, "what if I only agree to see one client per day?"
Having one client per day gives me breathing room if the appointment goes longer than expected and leaves me time for all the other things I do running a staging business (shopping for clients, going to the bank, paperwork, etc.) and keeping up with home and family demands.
With that one simple change my whole outlook on the staging business changed. I was having more fun, I was calmer and paradoxically my income actually went way up!
As Staging Diva students know, I'm a big believer in creating the kind of business you want to work for. In course 1, C@ash in Decorating Homes To Sell, I discuss all the possible services you can offer as a home stager. In course 4, Staging Diva Sales & Marketing Secrets to Boost Your Home Staging Business, students learn the various marketing approaches to building a staging business. But throughout I advise you make conscious decisions about your business so that you won't grow a financially successful home staging business that makes you miserable. It's not just about making m0ney, it's also about living the kind of life you want.
I've lived the life of a home stager since the fall of 2002 and learned so much through trial and error as I built my staging business.
You can figure it all out by yourself, or you can take a huge short cut to big pr0fit and start your business with what I learned the hard way.
Life is hard enough, why not build your business faster and with less effort?
My goal with the story was to educate the general public about what home staging can do for them, especially in a slower real estate market. That idea really comes across in the article, which I'm glad about because you never really know what they'll use.
For the second time in two years, I'm proud to be featured prominently in CNNMoney.
This time it's with a 22-page article about my House Selling Secrets, the Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers, and tons of before and after shots of my staging projects.
Directory members, have been getting tons of exposure since the third paragraph of the article links directly to them! This will be a huge boost to the Staging Diva Directory's ranking with Google since CNNMoney is such a high traffic site.
Learn how I help you get exposure like this for less than $40 a month (when you commit for one year).
This story also ran as the front-page story on ThisOldHouse.com and you can still find it there. Please visit and add your comments, it's a great way to get exposure for your name and that you're a stager and also to balance the negative "anonymous" comments already made.
There will be a bigger print story running in This Old House Magazine sometime after the fall. The editor decided to start the story online rather than waiting for the print issue to be released. With a circulation of over 6 million, the magazine will further expand the reach of the Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers as a resource for homeowners and agents.
The story was also picked up on the front page of AOL Real Estate, you can still see it online here.
Home Business Magazine is featuring Staging Diva in their October 2008 issue.
National Post Homes Summer 2008 ran an 8-page feature on me and included many shots of my new house. That's my kitchen above. In fact July 26 was the anniversary of us moving in. In the last year, there have been three shoots here: one for HGTV (airing this fall or winter) and two magazines. Usually my house stands in for a staged home as it was supposed to in this article. But to my surprise they ended up saying it was mine.
Honestly, if you're a Graduate of the Staging Diva Training Program and you're not in the Directory, what are you waiting for? Where else are you going to get exposure like this among people actively looking to hire a home stager?

Today is Spring and I cannot see it.
If you're not getting the sales results you want, perhaps it's time to find a new way of doing things or a new way of saying things. If you can't figure it out yourself, consider what a difference an expert can make in your end results.

Congratulations to Staging Diva Graduate Sue Kilmer of Suzy Home Stager (CA) on her excellent new logo design and getting the word out about her business. We finalized her company name during our business coaching call together and I'm so proud of the logo she had developed from there.
Sue writes, "Thanks for our coaching session! It was great and we accomplished a lot. I am getting lots of attention as people hear what I am doing. There is a very positive response and it's a lot of fun for me to see the smile people get when they hear my business name! I had a car window decal of my logo made which has led to several key conversations educating people about Home Staging. I have been offered a couple of jobs and been invited to speak at a local Real Estate gathering. They are going to do a write up on the business in our local paper too."

Florynka ist eine Ortschaft mit einem Schulzenamt der Landgemeinde Grybów im Powiat Nowosądecki der Woiwodschaft Kleinpolen in Polen.

Geographie
Der Ort liegt in den Niederen Beskiden entlang des Flusses Mostysza, nahe ihrer Mündung in die Biała. Die Nachbarorte sind Binczarowa im Westen, Kąclowa im Norden, Wąwrzka im Nordosten, Brunary im Südosten, sowie Polany im Süden.

Geschichte
Der Ort wurde im Jahr 1391 als Flornicowa erstmals urkundlich erwähnt, als er vom König Władysław II. Jagiełło an das Bistum Krakau verliehen wurde. Der Ortsname tauchte  nur noch einmal 1529 als Florencia im Land Muszyna auf, vor der Wiedergründung von Klemens Worgacz im Jahr 1574 unter dem heutigen Namen, nach dem Walachischen Recht. Der ursprüngliche besitzanzeigende Name war vom Personennamen *Florynek (= Florian(us)) abgeleitet.

Das Dorf blieb im Besitz des Bistums Krakau und gehörte administrativ zum Königreich Polen (ab 1569 in der Adelsrepublik Polen-Litauen), Woiwodschaft Krakau, Kreis Sącz.

Nach der Ersten Teilung Polens kam Florynka zum neuen Königreich Galizien und Lodomerien des habsburgischen Kaiserreichs (ab 1804). Nach der Aufhebung der Patrimonialherrschaften bildete es eine Gemeinde im Bezirk und Gerichtsbezirk Grybów.

1918, nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs und dem Zusammenbruch der k.u.k. Monarchie, kam Florynka zu Polen. Am 5. Dezember 1918 fand dort eine Kundgebung der Vertreter von zirka 130 lemkischen Dörfern in den Sandezer Beskiden und den westlichen Niederen Beskiden statt. Im Gegensatz zur lemkischen Republik in Komańcza lehnten sie die ukrainische nationale Bewegung und später die Union mit der Westukrainischen Volksrepublik ab und neigten aus taktischen Gründen zur Zugehörigkeit zur Tschechoslowakei mit den dortigen Russinen, obwohl es auch Anhänger des irrealen Anschlusses an Russland gab. Die sowjetophile usurpatorische Republik erhob Anspruch auf die Gebiete von der Podhale im Westen bis Sanok im Osten, aber in der Wirklichkeit beeinflusste sie nur einige Dutzend Dörfer in der Umgebung von Florynka, wo sie eine eigene Polizei, eigene Rechtsgerichte organisierte. Die Aktivisten knüpften auch Kontakte mit der Tschechoslowakei, wurden aber im Frühling 1919 von der polnischen Verwaltung praktisch ausgebremst, als Teile der Aktivisten verhaftet wurden. Die Lemken wollten Florynka zur Hauptstadt des lemkischen Staates auch im März 1920 machen und postulierten eine Volksabstimmung. Die übrigen Aktivisten wurden im Januar 1921 verhaftet. Sie wurden in einem eintägigen Gericht in Nowy Sącz im Juni vom Vorwurf des Hochverrats freigesprochen, weil sie in gutem Glauben handelten.

Nach der Besetzung Polens durch die Wehrmacht im Zweiten Weltkrieg gehörte es zum Distrikt Krakau im Generalgouvernement. Nach dem Krieg wurden die örtlichen Lemken zwangsweise in der Aktion Weichsel ausgesiedelt.

Von 1975 bis 1998 gehörte Florynka zur Woiwodschaft Nowy Sącz.

A lot of beauty can be found in everyday life. Just look around! Magnificent clouds drift slowly over your head, the foliage rustles and gently whispers how wonderful this world is! Moreover, the newly painted parking fits with the harmony of the surrounding world!
On May 23, 1967, GO Transit began regular passenger service and its long journey as Canada's first regional public transit system. Today the GO Station in Guelph is the main intermodal terminal in that growing city. We painted the lines and we're proud of our job! We follow the old saying: "The time has come to draw the line." Our company "Stripes" (All Ontario Striping) knows what that's all about!
What do basketball players do when they're not on the court? They go to the movies and sit in the front row! The "Stripes" company (All Ontario Striping) spends a lot of time on the court. But we don't play basketball. We paint the lines. And yes, we always sit in the front row!
If you're in Toronto and someone says "token, transfer, Presto!", what are they talking about? The TTC, of course. They're talking about the streetcars, subways and buses running through Toronto. The TTC is the holy grail of Canada's urban transportation systems. Imagine our excitement when we got to draw the lines for that transportation giant! Picasso would have been jealous — he didn't get to draw straight lines. But we did!
Sometimes we do not realize how lucky we are to live in a country like Canada. Look at how they paint the dividing lines on the roads in the Philippines! You can imagine how much time and labor it takes! We, in our company, All Ontario Striping, use the newest machines for painting lines.


Tourists love Mexico for its beautiful beaches, booming resort industry and location but if you needed another reason to travel to Mexico, allow me to introduce: Noche de Rabanos, or Night of the Radishes. This evening festival takes place in Oaxaca city and is a celebration of the radish that features an exhibition radish sculptures and re-creations of grand scenes such as historic events or nativity scenes. The festival takes place on December 23 and is incorporated into the usual holiday activities in Oaxaca.
The radish arrived in Oaxaca with the Spanish in the 16th century and the first radish festival occurred in 1897, but the origins of the festival are unclear. There is a legend about two Spanish missionaries who encouraged the indigenous people to cultivate radishes and sell them at a market. They suggested that by carving the radishes into little sculptures they would increase the buyer's interest. The modern festival radishes are specially grown with extra fertilizer until they grow very large, to allow more elaborate carvings. Growers drop them off to artisans only a few days before the festival and carvers work furiously to produce a competitive radish sculpture in time for the festival (and before the radish goes bad).
If you're in town for Noche de Rabanos, grab a room at the beautiful Camino Real, a hotel housed in a 16th century building – a former convent and one of the city's landmarks. Enjoy an extravagant breakfast buffet in what was once the convent kitchen before heading out to see the sights of Oaxaca – to see the birthplace of Noche de Rabanos, take a tour of Trinidad de las Huertas Church and see the traditional radish growing region and enjoy some fresh market produce and fresh juices.
Schedule an early dinner at the Casa Oaxaca and be sure to get a rooftop table. The five course tasting menu is $32 per person and features quality local cuisine and fine wines. After dinner, head down to the festival to peruse the radish sculpture submissions and stay for the judging, which usually happens at 9 pm (there are categories for children and less experienced artisans). There is a 15, 000 peso grand prize for the best radish sculpture or scene. There are also competitions for depictions made with dried flowers and corn husks, both are traditional folk arts in Oaxaca. Enjoy illumination shows, musical acts and the annual fireworks display and try the bunuellos, deep fried pastries in syrup that are very popular during Christmas time.

The widely held definitions of the word "reputation" point to the fact that reputation is all about 'opinion' or 'estimation' about someone or something by somebody.
As they say, "you can mean something to somebody but not everything to everybody".
This hold true for corporations, institutions, political entities and even individuals.
Who is this somebody whose opinion matters to us?
What is the opinion or estimation that they really have?
What has led them to this opinion?
What would help strengthen/modify their opinion?
"Defining The Persuables", an approach which goes beyond the classical stakeholder segmentation.
The answer itself comes from the definition of the word 'reputation'. With the involvement of opinions and estimation of someone held by somebody, we can safely presume that different constituencies will have their own interpretations and opinions and estimations would be divided.
Stakeholders can be many and of different types for a company, employees and potentials, customers, partners, investors, etc. and for politicians, voters and influencers across demographics, it may be caste, faith, economic and social standing and so forth.
Is it sufficient to put labels to the stakeholders?
A good first step, but not enough, because, it only partly answers the question: Who is this somebody, whose opinion matters to us?
Once we have a good definition in place, we need to take the next step, to understanding our audiences' knowledge, believability and favourability, which in turn leads us to their current opinion/estimation and resultant, a new set of labels: Advocate, Agnostic, Sceptic and Adversary based on opinions/ estimations or simply what we call: Base, Swing and Reach audiences.
Integration of Segmentation Step 1 & 2 leads to a more focused reputation management strategy which helps identify, the advocates, who spread the good work, the adversaries, who we need to engage and those open to persuasion to become our supporters.
"Defining the Persuable" is the Astrum approach, a holistic approach to identifying and engaging the specific and target audience, in the corporate environ or in politics and using Science to develop effective reputation management strategies is the Astrum way!
Our 4D approach from Discover to Deliver puts science at the heart of creating persuasive communication and more effective reputation management campaigns.
I realise that perhaps I have only answered one of the several questions I posed earlier that needs to be answered. There will be more on those, in times to come, as we explore the subject of science of reputation.
This is not the future, this is the present, clients want these insights as it impacts the success of their business and reputation management firms would need to adopt this approach if they want a seat at the table in the board room.
Think it over and join the conversation.

Alyanna
Growing up with a strong passion for art and design, Alyanna utilizes her technical skills to feed her interest for intentional and sustainable designs. After learning about sustainability at a young age, she carried it not only as a lifestyle, but continued to practice it in her studies. She values moments and experiences over materiality, which she hopes to influence others by creating environments that strongly build communities and relationships. As a designer, she practices and promotes good design methods that are socially and environmentally responsible.
Bayanihan
Alyanna was born and raised in the Philippines. Moving to Canada, she recognized the importance of a community and saw the lack of spaces for Filipinos to come together and feel proud of their cultural identity in Greater Vancouver. This experience led to inform her capstone project, Bayanihan.
Bayanihan is a Filipino community hub and is a first of its kind in Vancouver. The hub aims to celebrate, educate, and promote the Filipino heritage, as it also aids newly landed Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) through the expansion of a cohousing program dedicated to alleviating the burden of the increasing housing market cost. Bayanihan strongly believes in the spirit of communal unity. In doing so, the hub brings the locals of Metro Vancouver and Filipino immigrants together to combat cultural isolation and provide a sense of community.
Apart from Design, Alyanna is passionate for travel and has a curiosity for different cultures and languages. With that, she hopes to get opportunities to work with like-minded people. Alyanna plans to become a Registered Interior Designer and to work towards familiarizing herself with sustainable standards such as LEED, Living Building Challenge, WELL, and Passive Design.
