The Sea Eagle Joins Sea Shepherd's Fleet of Marine Conservation Vessels
Tuesday, 27 Apr, 2021
For the past six months Sea Shepherd has been working behind the scenes to quietly acquire, register and equip the latest addition to our fleet of marine conservation vessels: The Sea Eagle.
The new ship was purchased through funding from Allianz SE, Allianz Technology, and Allianz Italy as part of Sea Shepherd's new two-year partnership with Allianz to address the issue of plastic marine debris polluting the ocean.

"Sea Shepherd is very excited about this new relationship, which will help us to spread the message that fishing gear is one of the main causes of ocean pollution," says Sea Shepherd Global CEO Captain Alex Cornelissen. "This new vessel will be dedicated almost exclusively to our work in the Mediterranean Sea, both as a huge improvement for our existing campaigns like Operation Siso, as well as the perfect vessel to start exciting new campaigns."
The Sea Eagle is a 40-meter former French pilot boat equipped to accommodate 19 crew and carry two small boats. Having been built for the Atlantic Ocean, the ship is capable of navigating the roughest seas. Despite difficulties caused by the global pandemic, the Sea Shepherd crew worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth transit of the Sea Eagle from Thyborøn, Denmark to Syracuse, Italy, where it's now preparing for upcoming campaigns in the Mediterranean Sea.

"Sea Shepherd is very grateful for the support of Allianz," says Captain Cornelissen. "Together we will address the issue of abandoned fishing gear, looking at ways to convert the ocean plastic into materials we can re-use or sell in order to further fund our work and create more awareness."

Sea Shepherd currently has 11 ships in its global fleet, known as "Neptune's Navy", used in direct-action campaigns to defend, conserve, and protect marine wildlife and ocean habitats around the world.

PREVIEW: What to Look for in the November Jobs Report
• ARTICLE CoronavirusGrowthUS
(The monthly Employment Situation is scheduled for release by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday, December 4th at 8:30 AM Eastern Time.)
The resurgence of the pandemic is likely to be the biggest factor driving labor market performance in November, especially in a context where most of the CARES Act supports have ended. We are likely to see weak, if any, job growth for the month as the areas most affected by the spread, such as restaurants and hotels, face weaker demand and/or legal restrictions.
Long-Term Unemployment
We have seen a sharp upward surge in long-term unemployment (more than 26 weeks), as many of the people who were laid off during the shutdowns have not been reemployed. Long-term unemployment always rises in a downturn, but the increase in the share of long-term unemployed has been extraordinarily rapid in the Pandemic Recession. This matters because people who have been unemployed for more than six months generally have a harder time being reemployed.
Women Leaving the Labor Market
This recession has had a much sharper impact on women than men, as sectors that disproportionately employ women have been hardest hit. One measure of this impact is the drop in women's labor force participation. The labor force participation rate for women over 20 was down by 2.0 percentage points from its year-ago level in October, compared to a drop of 1.5 percentage points for men. This gap may grow in November.
This is obviously due to the fact that the industries that disproportionately employ women have been hit hard by the pandemic. This also shows up in the sharp decline in the number of people voluntarily working part-time, which is more than 12.0 percent below its pre-pandemic level. These jobs overwhelmingly go to women who don't want to work full-time because of caregiving responsibilities.
Jobs in Construction and Manufacturing
While large sectors of the economy are hurting due to the pandemic, construction and manufacturing, which traditionally are hard hit in a recession, are doing relatively well. We are seeing a boom in residential construction, which is offsetting weakness in the nonresidential sector. Manufacturing output increased 1.0 percent in October and is only 3.9 percent below the year-ago level. Both sectors are likely to see solid job growth in November.
The state and local government sectors have already shed more than 1.3 million jobs from their pre-pandemic level. Since these governments are facing massive budget shortfalls, we are likely to see further job loss in the November data.
The monthly wage growth data were hugely distorted by composition effects in the shutdown months and the immediate bounce back in July and August. However, now that we are seeing more normal rates of job growth, trends in the average hourly wage are being driven primarily by actual wage increases rather than changes in the mix of workers. Wages had been growing at slightly more than a 3.0 percent annual rate before the pandemic. (Growth had actually slowed just before February.) It appears as though the rate of wage growth may now be closer to 2.0 percent, given the weakness of the labor market.
In a recession, average weekly hours typically fall, as employers deal with the reduced demand for labor in part by assigning fewer hours to the workers they keep on the payroll. That does not seem to be the case in the Pandemic Recession, as average weekly hours stood at 34.8 in September and October, up from 34.4 hours in the same months of 2019.
Some of this drop is due to a composition effect, as the hardest hit sectors tend to have shorter workweeks. However, the same story of longer workweeks persists even within more narrowly defined sectors. For example, for nonsupervisory workers in full-service restaurants, the average workweek last month was 24.7 hours, the same as the average for 2019. By contrast, in 2009 and 2010 it was just over 24.0 hours, compared to a prerecession average of 25.0 hours. In fast-food restaurants the 24.5 workweek was actually somewhat above the 2019 average of 24.3 hours. (For a visualization of this contrast, see this Beat the Press blog.)
This matters hugely for employment, since longer hours mean fewer jobs. With a given amount of labor demand, a 24-hour workweek, requires 4.2 percent more workers than with a 25-hour workweek. It is not clear why employers would choose to go the route of reducing workers rather than hours in this recession, but from the standpoint of employment, it is very bad news.
Quit Rates
One encouraging sign in the summer and fall months was a sharp rise in the share of unemployment due to voluntary quits, from a record low of 2.5 percent in April to 7.0 percent in October. The fact that workers would leave a job without another job arranged is an indication of confidence in their labor market prospects. The October figure was still well below the 14 percent levels seen in pre-pandemic months. We may see some fallback given the resurgence of the pandemic in the last month and a half.
Asian American Unemployment Rate
Typically, the unemployment rate for Asian Americans has been slightly lower than the unemployment rate for whites. In this recession it has been running somewhat higher than the white unemployment rate, although the gap has been closing (1.6 percentage points in October). This likely reflects a larger share of Asian Americans being employed in small businesses that have been hard hit by the pandemic. We may see this gap increase again in the November data.

Cossette combines digital units for e-business projects
David Chilton
Published: March 21st, 2004
The Cossette Communication Group has combined two of its digital units to form an e-business services provider that it hopes will marry fully convergent communications services to IT systems and solutions.
The new venture is called Fjord Interactive Marketing + Technology and is the amalgamation
of the company's Cossette Interactive and Proximi-T arms.
Pierre Delagrave, president of Fjord, said in an interview from Quebec City that putting the two units together was a natural progression for Cossette, and would benefit its clients.
""If you take the example of a Web site, like (Cossette client) the Royal Canadian Mint, to create a shopping cart there and to transact e-commerce from it is something quite easy. But to have a Web site where you can be directly connected to its inventory and the billing of the organization is something far more difficult. You need to have the two sides working together,"" he said.
In the U.S. there is a company called Digitize that offers the same services as Fjord, Delagrave continued, but the new venture is the first on this side of the border, as far as Cossette knows, that has the capacity to deliver a complete project. One of Fjord's clients includes a plumbing distributor, he said.
""We have developed for them a solution — an 'expert estimator' we call it — that plumbers can use to evaluate a project,"" he said. ""They submit that to their customers and when the customers give their approval to the order the plumbers know right away if the material they need is available at their price. And in this case even the price is personalized.""
Another instance of Fjord's expertise is its work for a co-operative distributor of auto parts that has sales in the hundreds of millions of dollars, said Delagrave. Fjord created a solution called ""Victor"" that has replaced dealer catalogues with a Web site that is not only more accurate because it can be changed at any time, but also offers much more promotional potential.
Delagrave said he started to look into acquiring an e-commerce company about five years ago. However, he realized that buying a company that just created one product would have meant buying lots of companies before Cossette could offer a suite of services. What was needed, he said, was a business unit that integrated available solutions.
""We wanted to be at the head of the parade. On the Internet side we have been in Canada one of the leaders. On the back end we are considered to be the only one that is set up this way and the only one that is related to a company that offers a full range of communications.""
Mark Wright, president of MacLaren McCann Interactive, said he was unimpressed by news of Fjord's launch. Reached at his office in Toronto, Wright said he had seen a brochure about Cossette's new venture and ""I am still trying to figure out what it is.""
Wright said MMI offers exactly the same services as Fjord so he can't see what the fuss is about.
""You try to create a buzz (about something new),"" said Wright. ""Cossette is looking for an angle to stimulate growth. It's talking to itself.""
Delagrave acknowledged the boom and bust of the digital world, but pointed out that both Cossette Interactive and Proximi-T were profitable before they were merged and as Fjord are likely to stay that way.
The new unit is part of one of the largest advertising and communications firms in Canada, with offices across the country and in London and New York.
Fjord — a name Delagrave said Cossette chose because it was distinct in an electronic world full of unique nomenclature — has a client list that includes General Motors of Canada, Hydro-Quebec and McDonald's Restaurants, among others. The new unit has more than 150 employees.

ALBUM REVIEW: CROWHURST- III
May 14, 2019 our little blue rock Review, Reviews Leave a comment
Crowhurst is a shape-shifter of extreme music. Known primarily for their takes on experimental genres like noise and drone, the project returns with a broader take on the final installment of their trilogy simply titled III. Over more than 75 releases, the band has touched on many subgenres of experimental music and metal.
This time around, in addition to the dark ambient drone sounds, there is an emphasis on black metal and sludge with influences from 90s rock and noise rock. It is varied but cohesive, satisfying at times and dissatisfying at others.
The opener, "I Will Carry you to Hell" begins with a drone and what sounds like a sample of Gregorian choir. Sadly it is over too quickly, replaced by searing guitars and thundering double bass. While not quite typical black metal, it manages to embody the genre while nodding to noise and industrial.
"Self-Portrait with Halo and Snake" is much more patient, less urgent, with a steady build and vocals that, at first, sound influenced by Michael Gira (Swans) before becoming throated screams. The style continues into the next few tracks, with influences even from grunge. It is perhaps a step too far in the direction. This familiar, popular vocal style takes the listener out of the visceral and extreme nature of the music.
By the middle of the record I'm quite sick of the clean vocals. Advertised as a noise and metal record, halfway through it feels somewhere in between, becoming a watered down version of both. It makes the more accessible influences glare. While drone, noise, and black metal fit perfectly together, the almost Pearl Jam-like vocals on this track leave something to be desired. Overshadowing the solid music, it is difficult to hear the heaviness beneath.
"Ghost Tropic" boasts some pretty guitars, but more of the same vocals. For anyone who doesn't mind the style, they will probably like this record even if they are not a fan of the most extreme forms of music. But that's just it, the reason this record is so accessible it's tamed, almost neutered by its artistic choices. For the project's reputation as a harsh band, this album doesn't deliver.
But the blast beats at the end of this track are awesome, and the wretched vocals are new yet assimilate well. The screams come from an angle that is more screamo than metal, but it fits into the paradigm much better than one of the dime-a-dozen projects that try to make this connection work.
Finally, "Five Characters Looking for an Exit" is as fierce as the album gets. The guitars rumble with distortion, becoming almost unintelligible as they pierce through their amps and your ears. The 808s at the end pulse both consistently and out of time. The static is futuristic, the groans primal, filled with despair. The record finishes with a line repeated again and again: "When will this end?"
Excited by hype on the record, it took me through a roller coaster of likes and dislikes. Overall it isn't bad, it could just use a solid dose of both metal and noise. Despite my initial expectations, this record disappoints on its extremities and misses with its attempts at broadening the project's sound.

What makes a construction project fail?
August 26, 2019	By
From the Boston Big dig which took 16 years to finish to the Scottish parliament building whose costs ballooned by 730%, countless examples of construction project disasters exist today as a forewarning of what to expect.
But the question still persists; what causes these colossal projects to fail despite innovative design, improvised project plans and precise construction cost management?
It comes down to your enterprise's ability to acquire and leverage the right resources to the right projects. A project roadmap is considered strategically driven only when both human and technical capabilities are factored in,after all.
Several theories have been bandied about concerning why projects fail in the first place, even with cost controls in construction. While substandard material and a breakdown in the supply chain are attributed as the main reason for halting or abandoning the project altogether, changes in regulatory processes and over-exposure to unfavorable weather conditions cause severe financial losses.
Before going into the details of historic construction project failures that became success stories later on, let's first look at the reasons behind construction project fails and unearth measures to prevent them from derailing your firm's reputation, with the question;
What are the causes for failed construction projects?
Construction projects typically start by scoping out the site and conducting a thorough environmental impact study. This is done to determine the certainty of structural defects turning up after the project commences.
Considering that labor costs constitute a significant chunk of the resourcing spend, the first action item for a construction project engineer is to estimate the quality and quantity of contingent workforce needed. Only then can an exact sufficiency between competencies and capabilities be calculated.
Despite timely approvals on the original project documentation, here's presenting 5 reasons why construction projects still risk failure –
1. Poor resource planning strategies
While modern projects are built on the backbone of agile project methodologies, construction projects previously followed traditional conventions. Activities were stretched out over the five phases of initiation, planning, execution, controlling and final closure. That being said, when a resource plan isn't factored into the project before initiating it, your ability to view and match enterprise-wide project activities to human capabilities gets compromised.
Simply put, as the project nears, the inability to spot a shortage of critical resources or an excess of unneeded staff causes you to size up your workforce inaccurately, in terms of their strength, effort bandwidth and availability.
Moreover, tasks in project activities are sequenced based on their exclusivity or interdependencies. For instance, if two or more tasks are interlinked, a succeeding task cannot commence without the preceding task ending on time.
The first step to getting strategic resource planning right is to have unconditional visibility into project and resource workflows. A visual depiction not only points out scheduling imbalances but also updates project statuses by time-sensitive activity bookings.
Simply put, if a task finished on time, ahead of schedule or is delayed, critical resources with available hours are re-assigned accordingly to optimize the time between tasks.
The Millenium Dome in South-East London was converted to a sports arena in 2000 after it failed to recover the financial costs undertaken to build it. Originally conceived as a scientific theme park and football arena, the dome was poorly planned as a result of the misalignment between the scope and resources needed to execute the business strategy.
2. Inaccurate resource effort estimates
Endless delays and cost overruns for ongoing work answers the question of why construction projects fail. Add to which, inaccurate resource effort estimates cause you to either stretch your resources thinly or under-utilize your resources unscientifically.
Siloed insights into available hours seep into planned bookings. When you're unable to fit work into the effort bandwidth available, your crew would have to resort to working longer hours in potentially hazardous conditions, which compromises work quality as well as personal safety. Worse, a contractor's billable hours would increase which in turn introduces labor cost overheads.
The advent of resource management product tools with a business intelligence component,however, has improved the accuracy with which effort estimates are calculated. It contains advanced search filters that sorts out resource profiles by their full-time equivalents (FTE), location and skills utilized on previous projects. Not only does this information differentiate projects themselves from one another but also lets you understand how much time and skills were spent on both work and non-work activities.
Reports that revolve around your employee's utilization rates also drills down to the efforts invested against billable hours for the service provided. This directly points out available and reliable contractors for the future that can be frequently requisitioned.
3. Disjointed team dynamics
Behemoth construction projects involve a shared labor force comprising of both full-time and temporary contractors. Naturally, who delivers what and by when is defined by the number of working hours per resource. For example, a gig economy's work hours considerably shorter than companies with full-time equivalent employees.
Disjointed team dynamics, however, stalls the project owing to the lack of timely communication concerning work completed versus pending work.
A resource repository transforms your team dynamics by identifying and fixing skill gaps with reward-based training programs. With enterprise-wide visibility into resources, previous and inflight work, you'll have a preview of administrative and BAU work to ensure your staff have sufficient hours to invest into reskilling measures.
Consequently, your skills capacity evolves and aligns seamlessly with business objectives. A collaborative team not only keeps you informed of tasks completed, milestones reached and risks encountered but also lets you know if the team dynamics work out favorably. It prevents conflicting interests from cropping up and recenters project priorities with competencies that complement one another.
4. Inadequate resource capacity to shifting demands
A contingent workforce comprises of a team of hyper-specialized engineers, architects, external contractors and site laborers , who are roped in to work on different aspects of the project, right from devising an architectural blueprint and floor plan to deciding the placement of mechanics,electrical wiring and plumbing.
Resource capacity in simple terms is the supply of these resources and their capabilities at the right time. When your client proposes structural changes, both the original project scope and workforce restructuring measures are impacted. After all, you may not need all your resources right from the start. You'd then have to inquire about future availability in order to draw an exactness between planned (or booked) hours and actual hours. As time passes, the capacity would have to scale up or back to prevent rising labor costs.
An insufficiency in either human or technical resources leads to mismatched allocations. Why construction projects fail spectacularly here is because the existing workforce is assigned workloads they're unprepared for; or a productivity lapse ensues in the time for new hires to gain total mastery over the work under consideration.
The capacity versus demand component lets you forecast the quality and quantity of resources needed for the project's shifting requirements. It profiles staff utilization by their actual availability, strength, competencies and expertise on prior projects. This information not only reduces bench-time clunks but also releases additional resources into halted and/or pending tasks, thus giving starving projects the much-needed momentum.
5. Miscommunication over project scope changes
Frequent scope changes involve a re-assessment of the project's feasibility with respect to the changes harming or bolstering the project's sturdiness.
PMI's 2013 Pulse of the Profession report cited ineffective communication as a primary factor in a third of project failures, risking $75 million every year. After all, with a breakdown in communication, a disparity between what the client wants versus what is feasible arises.
A basic step in communication is to streamline project and resource-centric conversations, actions and decisions in an easily integrable resource management dashboard. Besides keeping everybody informed of risks and resolutions, a centralized dashboard fosters seamless project reviews as teams record lessons learned en route to project delivery.
This step is pivotal in helping future construction project teams avoid making the same mistakes or alternately, discovering a solution to a challenge encountered on a previous occasion.
"A famous example of disastrous scope changes is the present-day Sydney Opera house, which was originally scheduled to finish in four years within the budget of AUS $7 million. In reality,however, it took over 14 years to complete with the final cost amounting to a whopping AUS $102 million. It was reported that design requirements were altered after the project started, which caused plans to be redesigned to accommodate newer changes."
With only the architect Jorn Utzon appointed as the chief stakeholder, there was ample evidence of inadequate resource planning for project activities that scaled up. Besides, the government withheld funds when no visible progress was being made. Utzon was eventually replaced by three Australian engineers which led to new cost estimates, schedule delays and rework.
Having a robust workforce is critical to preventing construction project fails. After all, you can entrust complex and time-sensitive work only to competent resources whose capabilities can be leveraged for the entire project duration. And with Saviom Enterprise Resource Management tool not only will you find, schedule and finalize resources for ongoing and upcoming work but will also retain an evolved and engaged workforce for an optimal project pipeline.

Chinese cuisine: the most popular Asian food
Today Chinese food is popular all over the world, but it is an ancient cuisine linked to Chinese spirituality and lifestyle. Like in Spain, food in China is a key aspect of celebrations and social events. In line with the concept of yin and yang, this oriental cuisine always strives for a balance between flavours, colours, textures and temperatures. That's why it boasts such a wide range of ingredients and techniques. Colour, flavour, aroma and presentation are key. In fact, the aroma that emanates from a dish is essential for the Chinese, which is why they use spices such as cinnamon and aniseed to reduce the intense smell of some meats and fish. In addition to cooking techniques such as steaming and frying, the way foods are cut and prepared is vital.
Authentic Chinese cuisine
The main ingredients in Chinese cooking are rice and noodles (made of wheat or rice) and condiments such as soy sauce, ginger, garlic, spring onions, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and coriander. Chinese cuisine uses a wide variety of meats (chicken, beef, pork, poultry, etc.), fish, shellfish and tofu, which are normally combined with lightly cooked vegetables such as bean sprouts, pak choi and Chinese cabbage. The aim is to produce attractive dishes with delicious aromas and a balance between textures, flavours and colours. At Boko, we take care of every last detail to ensure we serve you the very best Chinese food.
The most typical Chinese recipes
The most popular Chinese dishes include stirfried chicken or prawns with vegetables and soy sauce, which are normally served with rice. Stirfried noodle dishes (using wheat noodles) are also common. As for regional cuisine, one of the most famous Chinese dishes is Peking duck, which is shredded and wrapped up in a pancake with fresh vegetables and bean sauce. Or why not try the delicious Chinese dumplings known as dim sum? Filled with meat, fish or vegetables and boiled, these little dumplings are like Chinese tapas and are perfect served with soy sauce. In Cantonese their name translates as "touch the heart".

Abstract : In the Floating Content application, mobile nodes collectively store and disseminate messages relevant to a certain area by using the principles of opportunistic networking. The system operates in best effort fashion relying solely on the nodes located in the area of interest, which is referred to as the anchor zone of the message. Past work has focused on mobility models, where the nodes are constantly moving and the messages are exchanged "on-the-fly". In this paper, we consider the case, where messages can be exchanged only when two nodes are stationary within each others' transmission range. Our objective is to characterize when the information floats, that is, when it is likely to remain available for long periods of time. We find that there exists a certain threshold for the mean node degree, which we refer to as the permanence threshold, above which the expected lifetime of the information increases very rapidly (in a finite system) or the information becomes permanent (in an infinite system). This threshold is about 1.3 for the basic case (a single stop per visit), which is clearly below the percolation threshold of about 4.5. Additional stops within the zone improve the situation further.


Our approach applies not only exclusion but a replacement of unacceptable companies in the large cap space by mid cap companies which adhere to our ethical principles. These companies are added to the extent that industry proportions drop appreciably below the levels in standard market benchmarks, and they allow our indices to benefit from the growth potential of vegan, plant-based and cruelty-free businesses in this new paradigm.
Our Vegan Climate Indices are passively managed, rules-based indices of large cap stocks, screened according to vegan and climate-conscious principles.
Our indices exclude companies engaged in animal exploitation, defense, human rights abuses, fossil fuels extraction and energy production, and other environmentally damaging activities.
Our indices demonstrate that it is possible to achieve broad based US market exposure while conforming to vegan and environmentally-conscious principles.
Combining vegan principles with being fossil-free removes the vast majority of the sources of greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.
Fossil-fuel using power plants, residential and commercial heating , road transport, chemical and petrochemical industries, oil and gas production, energy industry processes and coal mining, together with deforestation (principally for animal agriculture), livestock and soil degradation from fertilisers and pesticides together account for 90-95% of greenhouse gas emissions.
Beyond Advisors does not simply exclude, it engages with excluded companies to encourage them to identify those activities which are harmful to animals and the environment and to attempt to resolve this by a change in their business practices.

The marking process is quick and simple to apply and involves a unique Bikeregister ID being permanently marked on the bike frame. The marking compound is blue which is not immediately visible on a dark coloured frame, but would be seen under a police UV light due to the presence of a UV tracer in the compound.
Officers then register the details of the bike on the national Bikeregister database which the police can access 24/7 to identify the bicycle's owner, should it be stolen and recovered.

City of Tampa is Awarded a $75k Grant to Study the Impact of Sea Level Rise and Resiliency Planning
The City of Tampa has been awarded a $75k grant from The Florida Resilient Coastlines Program (FRCP) to study the impacts of sea level rise on our community and to identify key recommendations for resilience planning. The $75k state-funded grant will provide analysis and recommendations of current land use, zoning, and building regulations to prepare for climate impacts.
The City of Tampa requested grant funding to support The Land Regulatory Response to Sea Level Rise research study, which will serve as a legal and regulatory road map to improve sustainability and resilience. The project will identify impacts of sea level rise scenarios on the built environment and it will assess the economic, social, and legal viability of various regulatory measures to protect property and investment while maintaining continued opportunities for economic development in affected areas.
The City of Tampa received the maximum grant amount of $75k from FRCP to fund this project.
'As our city continues to grow, we need to ensure we're doing so responsibly and sustainably while planning for our resilient future,' says Mayor Jane Castor. 'Due to our City's location, Tampa is ground zero for sea level rise, which is why we need studies like this one that will help us better-understand how climate change is impacting our community today and what we can do to protect our City and our environment for generations to come.'
The City will partner with the Florida Center for Community Design and Research at USF, the Hillsborough County Planning Commission, and other agencies to complete the required analysis and recommend changes to the land development code and building regulations in order to mitigate the effects of future sea level rise.

Happy Wednesday! I'm on a roll this week with my third blog post already, woo hoo! We got a toddler bed from Wayfair for Noah recently, and I wanted to chat a bit about making the transition from crib to toddler bed. We haven't officially made the switch yet, but we are easing into it.
The bed is freaking amazing you guys. It looks so realistic, and he is obsessed with it. It comes with a mattress already, so we didn't have to purchase one. I am going to get a mattress pad just to make it a little more comfy; I'm obsessed with making beds extra comfy! We decided to get it in white because he is always saying "white car". His favorite car that he plays with is white, so it made sense.
He only crawled out of his crib once, and then never did it again. As soon as he crawled out of his crib I got online and started looking at toddler beds. I was freaked out he was going to do it again and get hurt. Luckily he never did it again, but if your little one is doing this often, it's definitely time to make the switch!
We put the bed in his room right away and got him excited about it. He lays in it sometimes during the day with his stuffed animals and plays with cars or looks at books. We are trying to familiarize him with it, instead of just going cold turkey.
We bought new cozy sheets & a comforter that is similar to the one on our bed. He loves the one on our bed, so I thought he would love to have a mini version of his own. He will still sleep with his blankets from his crib once we officially make the switch so he has some similar things in his bed.
Since it's a car bed that literally lights up and makes noises (controllable with an actual key, so cool!) we thought it would be best to let him play with it first, and get all of the excitement out before we make the actual switch. This way most of the initial excitement will have worn off, and he won't be too excited to actually sleep.
We need to get a gate for his bedroom door! Our bedrooms are up on the second floor, so a gate is a must so he can't walk out of his room, and try to get past the gate to go down the stairs. Gates are such lifesavers when it comes to babies/toddlers; especially in a two-story house!
We still have his crib in his room, and he's still sleeping in it for now. Our plan is to switch him this summer before baby sister's arrival. This way he will have some time to get used to it, before we rock his world with a sibling.
We plan on making the switch during a weekend or time when life isn't crazy busy for us. This way if we are up multiple times during the night trying to get him into bed, we aren't super stressed about waking up early or deadlines.
Welp, that's our game plan! Let's hope when we actually make the switch all goes well. I would love to hear about how you made the transition from crib to toddler bed, and how it went for you!
Making the switch during the weekend when you have extra time to relax is key!
Yes!!! This is for sure going to be a key ingredient in the mix!
He is so adorable and he must be loving that bed! How fun!
I always wanted a car bed as a little kid and I never got one! I love how realistic it looks! SO fun!
What a lucky boy, getting a race car bed!! Hope the transition goes smoothly!
That has got to be the coolest big boy bed ever!!!!
That bed is SO cute!!! I hope he loves it!
Oh my gosh my nephews would love that bed! Heck, I would love that bed haha! It's so fun!
Aww this is so cute! Lovely post.
I love his little car bed! How fun! My son would love this!
This room looks awesome! How cool for your little one!
what a wonderful idea. My daughter had never like her crib too..and I wish I read this at that time :-). She is now sleeping on the bunk bed.
This is so smart to have a "race car" as a new bed. And a little yurt?! One lucky kid!
This bed is seriously too adorable!!! I love it!
I learned so much!! Now if only I had a child!
That is the cutest bed I have ever seen! I loved all your tips – will have to pass this along to my mommy friends.
Coolest bed ever!!!! Wow, and, he needs to know that he has the coolest parents ever too.
That bed is probably every little boys dream! How fun!!

Home Latest Probe PDP's Nationwide Protests, Uzodinma Tells FG
Probe PDP's Nationwide Protests, Uzodinma Tells FG
Hope Uzodinma
Amby Uneze in Owerri
Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma, has urged the federal government to probe the nationwide protests by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in various states of the federation against the judgement of the Supreme Court, which sacked Hon. Emeka Ihedioha as governor and installed him as governor of the state.
Uzodinma also stated that his party did not challenge irregularities of the 2019 governorship election in the state at the tribunal to the Supreme Court, but only concentrated on the 388 polling booths, which the Supreme Court relied on to give him victory.
The governor, who said this yesterday during a counter-protest by supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Government House in Owerri, urged the federal government and security agencies to investigate the nationwide rally staged by PDP to protest the Supreme Court verdict.
He accused sponsors of the nationwide protest of attempting to overthrow the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
"Why are they organising a nationwide protest on an event that happened in Imo. If they didn't have ulterior motive to bring down the government, they could have held the rally in Imo State, where the Supreme Court passed a judgment?"
"We are one united and indivisible country. We did not go to court to challenge the election on the grounds of violence or over-voting, but we asked the court to add our votes which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) did not include. It was on the basis of our argument that the Supreme Court declared me as the winner of the election," he stated.
The governor urged the people of the state to go about their normal businesses because he's in charge, saying "it is by the grace of God that I'm your governor."
He noted that INEC declared Ihedioha wrongly as the governor, which the Supreme Court had corrected.
Imo State APC Deputy Chairman, Mr. Ugochukwu Nzekwe, also speaking to the supporters, said the party members were on a solidarity rally to show that the people of the state were happy with Uzodinma as their new governor.
The protesters marched from the Hero's Square to the Government House where they converged.

Q: Spring Tool Suite create new spring starter project error I am using spring tool suite version 3.8.3. While trying to create a new spring starter project, I am getting an error.. UnknownHostException : start.spring.io. But I can create maven project and adding spring boot is working. Can any one help to get a solution. start.spring.io is reachable from my browser.

A: Are you using a proxy? So you have to configure that in your STS settings: Open the menu windows/prefrences and enter proxy and check your settings. If it works in your browser, try the native settings. (The proxy for maven is defined in the settings.xml, that's why this may work anyway)

A: For my case in STS  this "https://start.spring.io/" was by default. but when i connected to Internet and trying to remove this using backspace and again typed same then its working.

A: Open the 'Windows/Preference" then goto "General -> Network Connections"
Now add Host in "Proxy bypass" panel as "https://start.spring.io/".

A: It's because you aren't connected to internet go switch on Wifi and it will work..

A: Just turn back on the automatic update of Spring tool suit. It will fix the problem.

A: The default url loaded is  "http://start.spring.io/", when I changed this to  "https://start.spring.io/" it stared working for me.

'Ray Donovan' Showtime Movie Reaches A Surprise Ending For The Series
The finish has arrived for Showtime's Ray Donovan sequence. The standard drama, which ran for seven seasons, wrapped issues up with a two-hour film that answered a couple of questions on what made Ray the person he's right this moment.
A movie model was mandatory because of the shock cancellation after the Season 7 finale, which left followers, star Liev Schreiber, and showrunner David Hollander hanging. After an enormous outcry, the choice was made to tie the excellent threads collectively and reveal whether or not the Donovans stand collectively or go down swinging. After all, Ray doesn't depart unfastened ends.
For the uninitiated, Ray Donovan is an expert "fixer" who handles the messy particulars of unlawful actions to guard superstar shoppers. The drama additionally introduced out the interactons between Ray's youngsters, brothers, spouse and the menacing patriarch of the household, Mickey, performed by Jon Voight, who will get an surprising launch from jail.
*** SPOILER ALERT – DON'T READ PAST THIS LINE IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FILM
In the Friday finale, the film picked up the place Season 7 ended. Mickey Donovan is on the run, and his son is shut behind.
The surprising results of that confrontation, although, was Mickey being the one to die. But not at Ray's hand – as an alternative, Ray's daughter, Bridget, did the deed.
In a TV Line interview, the movie's cowriters, Schreiber and director Hollander, talked about why they determined to kill off the Jon Voight character.
"David and I both agreed early on that it made sense that somebody had to go in the end. And it felt like having Bridget inherit the [Donovan family's] mantle of pain [by killing Mickey] was an interesting and logical choice," Schreiber stated.
Hollander added, "In my head, it was the one dying that might happen… And it needed to be [Bridget that pulled the trigger]. Thematically, we're pushing all of this sh-t downhill, and who's watching Ray? And it's Bridget.
The option to convey issues to a conclusion would have been extra ambiguous, Hollander stated, if the sequence had continued on for an eighth season.
"It may have been more of a disappearance or a mysterious thing. But the story really is about, not just the legacy of violence, but, "Who is the wolf? Who is the person that's really stirring the pot?" We needed to wake Ray as much as his half in all of this as a result of, in a method, he's the larger antihero of the 2. And he's the genesis of plenty of the issues we see within the present."
Schreiber agreed. "It's the thing about inherited trauma that's compelling about the show to me. The conscious and unconscious ways in which we promote and reproduce trauma."

When we talk about steel pipe, sometimes we say LSAW steel pipe, and do you know what LSAW pipe definition is. And what is main features of LSAW? How many steps when making a lsaw pipe need? We can learn more about LSAW pipe as one kind of carbon steel pipe.
1) What is LSAW steel pipe definition?
LSAW means Longitudinal Submerge Arc Welding carbon steel pipe. It is a kind of SAW pipe made of steel plates that were hot rolled by JCOE or UOE manufacturing process. JCOE technology means the shaping and forming processes. This forming process JCOE include during producing as well as the inner and outer welding and cold expansion carried out after welding.
From this we can see that the LSAW pipe having superiority. We, Winsteel Group offers LSAW steel pipe with high quality, competitive prices and best service.
1. According to the specification of pipe API 5L Spec, we take testing for the basic metal and welding metal. Specification such as DIN, EN, ASTM, GOST standard and etc. Also, LSAW steel pipe can be welded with flanges, lifting eyes and other parts according to clients' requirements.
2. It also can used as pipe boots or pile boots which are acted as protecting section.
3. Except used as pipe boots, LSAW steel pipe are also used for transporting fluids like water, oil & gas as well as used for offshore projects and underground constructions. These products are producing in China and are exported to other countries like Australia, Canada, South American, Europe, Malaysia, India, Pakistan, Africa, etc.
This is used for making the large diameter LSAW joints right after it enters the production line which is the initial full-board ultrasonic testing.
The machine used for milling does this operation through two-edged milling plate to meet the requirements of the plate width and the sides parallel to the right shape and exact degree.
This side is achieved by using a pre-bending machine on the pre-bending plate edge. The plate edge needs to meet curvature requirement.
After the pre-bending step, in the first half of the JCO molding machine, after stamped steel, it is pressed into a "J" shape while the on the other half of the same steel plate it is bent and pressed into a "C" shape, then the final opening forms an "O" shape.
This is to make a welded pipe steel a straight seam after it has been formed and then use gas welding seam (MAG) for continuous welding.
This is done with a tandem multi-wire submerged arc welding (about four wire) on the inner part of the straight seam welded steel pipe.
Outside weld is the tandem multi-wire submerged arc welding on the outer part of the LSAW steel pipe welding.
This test are checking outside and inside straight seam of welded LSAW steel pipe. And also check both sides of the base material. 100% pipes are taking ultrasonic inspection.
X-ray industrial TV inspection is carried out on the inside and outside using image processing system to make sure there is detection sensitivity. 100% pipes are taking X-ray inspection.
This is for accomplishing submerged arc welding and straight seam steel pipe length hole diameter so as to improve the steel tube's size precision and improve the distribution of stress in the steel tube. This steps can according to customer's requirements.
LSAW pipe hydrostatic test is carried out on the hydraulic test machine for steel after expanding by-root test for ensuring the steel pipe meets the standard requirements with the machine having an automatic recording and storage capabilities.
Pipe chamfer is the last step for pipe manufacturing process. It makes pipe end bevelled which is convenient for welding in field. This also involves the surface inspection carried out on the steel pipe at the end of the whole process. Of course, this step is according to customer's requirement. And according to API 5L PSL 2 level, it has steel pipe end plain.
LSAW steel pipe marking is not the manufacturing process. But it is can not omit. This steps is very necessary as it can directly tell users the information of the pipe. It has many kinds of marking, the most popular are stamping and die mark.
Till now, I think you have a impression for LSAW. What does LSAW means, pipe size range, and LSAW manufacturing process. And if you want to have more information about steel pipe, or about our factory, please do not feel hesitate to contact us. We are professional LSAW steel pipe manufacturer.

Radio Review: Time and the Conways / Jailbird Lover / The Benefit of Time
"You don't know what day it is today"
It's been a while since I've listened to any radio drama but the prospect of an all star cast doing JB Priestley's Time and the Conways was something I couldn't resist and under David Hunter's direction, it was a truly beautiful piece of work. The aching lyricism of the play and its innovative (extremely so for the time) non-linear structure have long been a favourite and so to see them get the luxury treatment here, headed up by Harriet Walter as Mrs Conway, is just fantastic.
The play looks at the fortunes of the Conway family as they celebrate the 21st birthday of one of the daughters Kay in 1919 and then flicks forward 19 years where we see straightaway what has become of them. And as their lot mirrors that of the class system in Britain, it isn't a happy one. Walter's brittle blitheness as she tries to ignore the financial situation is blissful, Anna Madeley and Rupert Evans are just gorgeous as Alan and Kay – the two decent ones out of the whole bunch – and Colin Guthrie's piano adds an elegiac beauty. Sublime.
Craig Hawes' Jailbird Lover made for quite the change in pace, a ditzy comedy about Gwilym, a confirmed bachelor who lives a hermit-like existence in a Welsh village, venturing out only to the postbox to send love letters to female convicts across the globe, safe in the knowledge that their long sentences mean he'd never actually have to ever meet them. So sure enough, one turns up on his doorstep – Claire-Louise Cordwell's Layla – and his life is turned upside down. It's all rather charmingly done, Charles Dale is a goofy hero, and it all makes some decent entertainment.
And equally amusing was Terri-Ann Brumby's The Benefit of Time featuring a class duo – Samantha Spiro and Adrian Scarborough – as a dowdy office worker and an unscrupulous hypnotist respectively who are taken by surprise when a session together reveals that she was Anne Boleyn in a former life. It has the potential to be daft as a brush but Brumby keeps things on an intriguing level – at first it seems obvious that he is taking her for a ride but increasingly, it feels like she who is milking the situation as her personal and professional life take an unprecedented turn for the better. In the end, well you'll find out for yourself, but with these two having great fun with a fun script, it's a pleasure to listen to.

V-1 FLYING BOMB. 1942-52. HITLER'S INFAMOUS "DOODLEBUG"
Besides the Chelomey missile program, in October 1945 the Soviet- controlled Junkers plant at Dessau in Soviet-occupied Germany was assigned to develop a piloted attack fighter version of the V-1, called the EF-126. A total of five pilots were completed in 1946, and glide tests began in May 1946. The definitive production version would be armed with a pair of 20mm cannon and a new Jumo 226 jet engine. The second test flight on May 21st, 1946 resulted in a crash which killed the German lest pilot. The remaining prototypes along with pilot versions of the Jumo 226 engine were sent to the Soviet Union, but the program was soon abandoned.

Other V-1 copies
Of the major powers, Britain never manufactured a copy of the V-1, though the Red Rapier cruise missile program of 1950 was certainly inspired by it. Therefore the only other air force to copy the V-1 in any significant numbers was the French. Arsenal de l'Aéronautique in Châtillon began work on a V-1 copy in 1947, It was not intended as a cruise missile, but rather as a jet-powered target drone for use with new air-to-air missiles that the firm was designing. Designated as CT 10, the first trials of the drone were completed in April 1949. It was actually smaller than the V-1, and used twin rudders like the original German Erfurt proposal. CT 10 could be launched from a ground ramp using solid rocket-assisted take-off, or from aircraft such as the Leo 451 medium bomber. About 400 were manufactured and some were sold to Britain and the United States.
This illustration shows the typical stenciling on the V-1. Usually, the stencils were in white on the green upper surfaces and black on the light blue undersurfaces. (Author)
COLOR PLATE COMMENTARY
A1: FI-103 V-ZELLEN, PEENEMÜNDE, SPRING 1943
Test missiles were often painted in bright colors to assist in visual tracking. Originally, they were painted in overall yellow, but this switched to bisected yellow and black which made it easier to see if a missile flipped on to its back. The Argus engine was left in its original unpainted steel finish. The serial number was painted on the tail, in this case, 91 for V91.
A2: FI-103 M-ZELLEN, LEHR-UND-ERPROBUNGSKOMMANDO WACHTEL, PEENEMÜNDE, FALL 1943
The pre-series M-zellen missiles were finished in a relatively neat scheme of RLM 71 (The Reichsluftministerium - German Air Ministry - had an official series of numbered designations for paint colors, prefixed "RLM") dark green over RLM 65 light blue. The serial number was applied to the tail in white.
A3: FI-103RE.3 REICHENBERG TRAINER, RECHLIN TEST ESTABLISHMENT, FEBRUARY 1945
The few photos that exist of these trainers show them to be in a fairly neat finish. On August 15th, 1944, the RLM ordered the withdrawal of RLM 65, substituting three new greens after existing paint was exhausted at the factories. Bombers retained the RLM 65 light blue, which also affected Fi-103. The results were not that noticeable on the V-1 as most surviving examples seem to show the use of RLM 71 dark green or the similar RLM 83.
B: DIVER DOWN! LONDON, AUGUST 1944
This scene depicts one of the duels between the Doodlebugs and RAF Tempests. In some circumstances, such as when they had run out of ammunition, fighter pilots would position one of their wingtips under the Doodlebug wing, and then bank sharply, the slipstream causing the V-1 to tumble out of control as is seen here.
C: FI-103A-1, FLAK REGIMENT 155 (W), SUMMER 1944
Many of the FZG-76 missiles used in the summer of 1944 had a very motley finish as little care was taken in applying paint on a cheap, expendable weapon. In addition, the missile was assembled from components coming from different plants, so the camouflage schemes on the all the parts did not match. The base color was the usual RLM 65 light blue over which RLM 71 dark green was sprayed in irregular patterns. The wing and tail surfaces as well as the spine of the engine tended to have a more solid finish of dark green. Missiles with Trialen enhanced blast warheads sometimes had a large red X painted on either side of the warhead casing as seen here.

The January 3 decision by the Peruvian Constitutional Court to declare four anti-terrorist decrees unconstitutional has still left many anti-terror laws on the books, thereby making it unlikely to lead to the release of Lori Berenson.
Lori Berenson is a 33-year-old US citizen serving a sentence in Perú under the anti-terror laws.
A series of anti-terror laws were passed in 1992 under former president Alberto Fujimori to quell Peruvian rebel activity in the country and have been the subject of ongoing controversy since their inception, as they allow secret military trials that lack due process. Due process refers to judicial proceedings that are established to safeguard the legal rights of individuals to ensure a free and fair trial.
The impetus for the passing of these laws was the fighting between rebels and state forces that led to approximately 30,000 deaths and 7,000 disappearances between 1980 and the late 1990s, including many civilians.
The trials included the use of hooded judges in an effort to protect magistrates from reprisals by members of rebel groups for issuing guilty verdicts. Some 700 people convicted and sentenced during these trials were later found to be innocent. Others were given harsh sentences for petty crimes.
Although the move shows a new desire by the Peruvian Court to adopt international human rights standards based on recommendations from both the UN Commission on Human Rights and the regional Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, Mark Berenson claimed that these reforms hardly scratch the surface.
Father of Lori Berenson and Director of the Committee to Free Lori Berenson, Berenson believes that the recent repeal did not go far enough.
"Perú's Constitutional Court offered only a grossly inadequate first start to correcting the horrendous human rights violations inherent in the anti-terrorism laws that have been internationally condemned," explained Berenson in an interview with the Digital Freedom Network. "Although it struck down the secret military tribunals for civilians, almost all the old abuses remain thereby accomplishing the same ends through the civilian court system."
Current president Toledo is claiming that Perú is now in full compliance with international human rights standards. "This is completely false," proclaimed Berenson.
Approximately 2,500 prisoners currently in Peruvian jail were convicted under the anti-terror laws.
The court ruling was brought about partly by a 5,000-strong petition calling for the laws to be revised, as well as a reaction to recommendations from the UN Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to respect international and regional human rights standards.
Part of the Organization of the Americas (OAS), the Inter-American Commission hears individual complaints and generates reports regarding the application of the American Convention on Human Rights by member states. It also has the power to refer cases to the Inter-American Court.
Among the now defunct laws is one that allowed rebels to be tried for acts of treason, something that former president Fujimori continues to defend. However, the president of the Constitutional Court Alva Orlandini clearly stated that such a policy was unhealthy. "You don't fight terrorism with state terrorism," said Orlandini.
The court also declared life sentences as excessive punishment for rebels convicted as terrorists, and therefore unconstitutional. It has instructed Congress to revise the law to allow for prisoners convicted in the military courts to petition for a retrial. Those who are found innocent would be released, while those found guilty would be able to receive a significant decrease in their life sentence.
"This could mean that other prisoners would be retried and fair judges under fair laws could decide innocence or guilt," admitted Berenson. "However, Lori's case is unique in that she is the only current prisoner [who has] already been acquitted by the military court [and] who has been unlawfully tried a second time (in the civilian courts) for the same cause."
"A third trial for Lori would seriously compound the violations of the most fundamental protections of a fair trial--due process of law, double jeopardy, and ex post facto application of law," he explained.
Lori Berenson was arrested in 1996 on accusations that she was a leader of the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA), a Peruvian rebel group.
Allegedly involved in plotting and providing arms for an MRTA attack on the Peruvian Congress earlier that year, she was sentenced to life on charges of treason in a secret military tribunal that was later determined by both the UN Human Rights Commission and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to be in violation of basic human rights such as a trial by due process. Berenson's trial involved hooded judges and lacked the right to cross-examination and a jury.
While the verdict in her military trial was overturned in 2000, her case was remanded to a civilian court where a retrial subsequently found her guilty of the lesser charge of collaboration with a sentence of 20 years.
Lori Berenson has maintained that she is innocent of all charges and is seeking redress from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights where her case is currently pending.
While the anti-terror laws were largely condemned by human rights groups worldwide, they received support from the Peruvian population as an effective way to end rebel attacks on civilians and fighting between rebel groups and state forces that also resulted in a large number of civilian deaths.
"We have set our justice system right," said Peruvian president Alejandro Toledo in a Reuters News Service report, adding that they "will not cede an inch to terrorism, drug trafficking, or to those who trample human rights."
Such statements are an attempt to quell fears among the population who fear renewed rebel activity in light of the revisions to anti-terror laws.
Many Peruvians fear that the repeal of these laws may lead to the immediate or eventual release of convicted rebel leaders, such as Abimael Guzman of the Shining Path, who will revert to their violent activities.
While Guzman has claimed that he has given up violence and plans to work through the Shining Path's political wing, the Peruvian Communist Party, if released, other jailed members were clear that they would resume violence if released.
Last March the Shining Path renewed activities in parts of Perú, ensuring that Toledo will face opposition over any suspected leniency for rebels leaders.
In fact, some have criticized the court for repealing the laws without first waiting for new anti-terror laws in line with human rights standards to be created.
Orlandini has also tried to reassure people by stressing that the evidence collected during the secret trials would still be admissible in a retrial and that any new legislation will be carefully drawn to ensure that no loopholes exist.
"The Constitiutional Court's ruling does not open the doors and windows of prisons," said Toledo according to Reuters. "We will do everything possible to make sure that terrorists are not put back on the streets."
For now, Berenson is placing his faith in regional mechanisms.
"Lori's case will be resolved by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights that will not only restore Lori's rights, but also result in forcing Perú to abolish the remaining antiterrorism laws," proclaimed Berenson.
Her family must wait for a verdict as the Inter-American Court will hear the cases put forward by the Inter-American Commission and the Peruvian government against it. The Inter-American Commission has previously declared "that the violations of the human rights of Ms. Berenson in the military trial were not cured with the second [civilian] trial" and that "her conviction in the second trial is so unsupported by the facts that it constitutes a violation of the right to a fair trial."
"We are confident the Court will decide in her favor and we hope this will be done quickly," he said. However, he admitted that "the process is often long and there is no definitive time schedule."
He can take heart in the fact that the Court has made a favorable decision in a similar case. A teacher jailed in 1993 for confessing to being a rebel while under torture took her case to the court. In 1997, she was released from jail following a ruling of the Inter-American Court.
"We believe that Lori will be released when the Inter-American Court, based on precedence, rules on the illegality of her civilian trial," surmised Berenson.
Berenson also places hope in the fact that governments that support the principles of freedom, democracy and justice will refuse to engage in friendly relations with Perú until it repeals all of the anti-terror laws that violate human rights standards.
Last March, President Bush raised the issue of Berenson's case with Toledo for the second time. "Our government should express outrage over such wrongful treatment of a United States citizen and argue for her release," concluded Berenson.
Lori Berenson remains hopeful that a decision in her case will ultimately force the Peruvian government to overturn the remaining anti-terrorism laws that continue to be in violation of international human rights standards.


I had been pestering my family friend, Tez, for years to take me up in his plane. He is an aviation mechanic and owns a vintage Auster passenger plane that is older than him! Finally during the road trip he had a day off and agreed to take us up. The following photos are of Taree, Wingham and surrounding mountains, Chatham, Harrington and Old Bar Beach.

This is the 3rd time I have used Certified Mold Free Corp. I have nothing but praise for how Gary and Linda run their company. Gary was very fair with his pricing and Linda was always available to answer my phone call or text. The employees working for them were polite, friendly and very skilled. I wish all South Florida contractors were this professional and I highly recommend Certified Mold Free Corp!
This company not only showed up, but answered calls and texts and were polite. I was informed of every step form planning to completion. The job was done well and everything was cleaned up when done. The fair price was an added bonus. I would definitely use this company again.
Frank and his crew do remarkable work! The lines are cut in perfectly even, the crown moulding looks better than it did when we bought the house, and the walls are rolled to perfection. His quote was reasonable and he delivered on every element with professionalism and punctuality. The best part was that Frank himself answered my initial phone call, came to my home to quote the job, was on-site, and personally stayed in touch with me throughout the project. I have hired him again to do the master bathroom and hallway. Extremely satisfied with this company!
Fabulous! Jim Montgomery is a gentlemen and true professional. He showed up on time daily, the quality of the workmanship was excellent and his communication with me was topnotch. It does not get any better than this! Will rehire for future home projects.
Evaluation by Gary was scheduled quickly by Linda and his assessment was honest and thorough. Repairs were done by isolating possible mold from the rest of the house and a large job was completed quickly but perfectly. Gabriel and Jorge were on time, professional, and did a beautiful job with all repairs and left the house clean as well. I highly recommend using Certified Mold Free and will use them again for any water-related issues.

Labels: Deepika Padukone, Irfan Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Movies, Priyanka Chopra, Shahrukh Khan
Movie Billu Barbar narrates simple story of Shahrukh and Irfan Khan spiced up with loads of item numbers from Kareena, Deepika and Priyanka. Here goes the story, Billo (Irfan Khan) plays a village barber. His business is running low because he has not been able to upgrade himself according to the changing trends.
One fine day, a film unit visits his village to shoot a movie. It stars a superstar (Shahrukh Khan), who was once Billo's school friend. All at once, Billo's status in the village changes, and he becomes highly respected. Everyone wants him to meet the superstar.
But Billo is unsure, as he feels he cannot compare to the superstar's status. Besides, he fears that the star may not recognize him. He makes many attempts to meet the star but fails. After all these hardships, he gives up. But people think that he lied about the relationship with the star and start insulting him. His family and children also gets upset.
In the end, for an invited school function, the star reveals his past. He tells the audience that in his school days he had a friend who always stood by him in his hardships. He tells how much the friend helped him by providing food when he was hungry, provided clothes when he did not having any.
He tells that the friend gave him the money to join acting by selling his ancestral ear ring and that friend happens to be Billo. At that time the people recognize about Billo and the movie happily ends. [via: Eros]


The plant's operator Tokyo Electric Power said Monday workers started removing the first of 566 fuel units stored in the pool at building No 3.
The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), said early Monday workers started removing the first of 566 fuel units stored in the pool at building No 3. The fuel rods stored in this unit's cooling pool were not damaged in the 2011 disaster, when a 9.1-magnitude earthquake and tsunami caused a subsequent nuclear disaster that was the worst since Ukraine's Chernobyl meltdown in 1986.
"Thanks to their training, the work has been going smoothly," Tomohiko Isogai, the director of the nuclear plant, was quoted as saying by the Japanese broadcaster NHK. Isogai added that plant officials were "very sorry" over the delays. About 7,000 employees have worked to decommission the plant since 2011.
According to Kyodo news, so far only 367 people, or 3 percent of Okuma's pre-disaster population of 10,341, have registered as residents.
In July 2017, an underwater robot deployed into one of Fukushima's defunct nuclear reactors found chunks of melted fuel debris. The robot was sent into the reactor through a pipe meant to prevent the escape of radioactive gas. While the exact location and other details of the melted fuel were largely unknown, officials sent in the robot again in February with tongs to remove pebbles of nuclear debris from the Unit 2 reactor. However, it was unable to remove larger chunks, indicating a robot would need to be developed that can break the chunks into smaller pieces — a process that could be a challenging part of the decommissioning.


The Washington Supreme Court barred the state's attorney general's office from releasing financial and consumer records from a mortgage company investigation, unanimously ruling Thursday that federal privacy laws pre-empt the state Public Records Act.
In 2007, Melissa Huelsman, a lawyer specializing in predatory lending cases, filed a public records request for names, addresses, phone numbers and interest rates relating to the investigation of the Ameriquest Mortgage Co.'s lending practices. Washington's attorney general's office had obtained loan files, e-mails and other documents in its inquiry, which resulted in Ameriquest paying a $325 million settlement.
The attorney general's office was willing to hand Huelsman the records, but Ameriquest sought an injunction. The mortgage company opposed releasing files that it had disclosed to the attorney general's office, citing federal privacy laws.
A trial court denied Ameriquest's request, ruling federal law "does not preempt the state's law on public disclosure of documents," according to the Supreme Court's opinion. An appellate court reversed the decision, ruling federal privacy laws do pre-empt the state's laws.
The Washington Supreme Court affirmed the appellate ruling on the grounds that federal privacy laws prohibit a financial institution from disclosing "nonpublic personal information" to an unaffiliated third party. The attorney general's office argued the requested records were already available on the public record, through telephone books, websites and recorded mortgage filings, the court opinion said.
However, the court ruled the attorney general's office cannot disclose the records because of information that could identify customers, and could only release records that do not contain personal identifiers or redacted records if they already existed. The court held that, while the federal privacy law did not prohibit redaction, the state open records law prohibits the attorney general's office from repackaging the information in response to a request.
Deputy Solicitor General Alan Copsey, counsel for the attorney general's office, said the decision clears up confusion with federal and state privacy laws.
