Discussion in 'Sive Morten- Currencies and Gold Video Analysis' started by Sive Morten, Nov 5, 2011.
Dear Sive and All, as i have commented on your weekly report on Greece there is already an official announcement that the two major parties have agreed on the forming of a new government with a commonly accepted PM with a mandate to resolve and finalize the EU package, complete the negotiations for the new installment and bring the country to elections on completions. Names will be announced tomorrow. Watch out the reaction on Monday morning. (at 22:20 local time Sunday). May you have a pip full day.
Onenikos, what's the mood in Greece following this decision? I would guess that it could be moderately positive for the euro, given that it postpones the crisis of elections (for a little while at least). But in the longer term uncertainty still remains, so we may not see any major moves up or down just yet.
Just one more line on the above. There is a good chance that the new PM would be Papademos ex governor of the Bank of Greece and VP for years in the ECB widely known and accepted by EU. In such a case positive reaction would be increased.
Dear toughcookie, the mood in Greece is very positive as this is the first time in recent political history that the two major parties get together and agree on a common goal which is the finalization of the EU package that includes the 6th bailout installment and negotiate the 7th and finalize, before elections are proclaimed. This will be received with great relief by the EU community and markets. As such should have short term positive effect on Euro, which can only be moderated by the recent situation in Italy which makes the markets uneasy to say the least.

In this article we discuss the challenges and things we learned when building a new 3D product builder, native iOS application and web platform.
First off what is Inspire by Crucial Trading?
Visualising online purchases in your home is difficult – especially when the item is made to order. Inspire by Crucial Trading combines 3D design, web technology with Augmented Reality – allowing you to create a beautiful bespoke rug in 3D and then place it onto any floor.
When we first conceptualised Inspire the Augmented Reality app was still in its experimental stage. Because of this it wasn't practical for us to develop for both iOS and Android at the same time. We needed to develop a working product on 1 platform first, prove the concept and then potentially roll it out to other platforms. We had a difficult decision on our hands. What platform should we pick?
We decided to start with iOS ARKit this is because we felt it had the widest device support and installed user base at the time over Android ARCore. Since we launched the app this has changed quite a lot and the number of ARCore enabled devices is growing daily.
Shared experiences – multiple people can experience the same AR content at the same time. Potential use case for this would be if a couple were looking at purchasing a rug for their home they could both place the rug and view it from different angles rather than using 1 device.
Persistent experiences – AR content can stay in the same location even after the app is closed. A rug could potentially be left in place and reviewed the next day with a fresh set of eyes. Assisting the customer to be totally confident in their purchase.
Looking to the future we are excited to develop the app for Android and ARCore. Having the app on both platforms will open it up to a wider user base which is only a good thing. This will provide us with valuable data which we can use to improve the app moving forward.
During development, after many rounds of testing and prototypes it became clear to us how important lighting conditions were for both functionality and app performance. Firstly AR uses something called Plane Detection to find flat surfaces – this relies on computer vision to look for features of a flat surface such as uniform colours or a lack of contours. In a poorly lit environment this doesn't work very well and the darker the environment the harder it is to find a flat surface. This is the case for lots of AR apps but it's not always explained very well in the app or even at all. This can cause unnecessary confusion for users of the app who might just assume that the app is broken. When we develop AR apps in the future we plan to have a feature which detects the ambient light and then alerts the user that they might have issues using the app, with some guidance on how to improve the environment.
Lighting is not only important for detecting flat surfaces but also for how realistic the objects your placing look. The object needs to cast realistic shadows, which in our case was a rug. Due to the fact a rug is not that tall or large it was difficult at first to create a shadow which appeared realistic. It's much easier with an object that has a more obvious shape and casts a large shadow.
We also had to look at how the materials the rug was made up of reacted to light. Everyday items react to light in so many different ways that once you start to notice it, it's impossible not to. Due to the way each material reacts to light and the subtle differences between them we had to make lots of different maps that were unique to each material which at times was a long and arduous process.
A common conversation we have at KIJO is about how native applications work. Because the app is installed on an actual device sometimes there is a misconception about where the data is stored and what is required to power them. Apps most of the time will require a backend just like a website does. The backend manages things from login, authentication, API, data storage and processing of data.
The Inspire AR app needed a backend just like any other. The website itself used WordPress as its content management system and as its eCommerce software via WooCommerce. Each material is essentially a product in their shop catalog and both the 3D builder and the AR app uses the same product catalog. The decision was taken to utilise the WordPress REST API to create some brand new endpoints. The 3D rug builder is built using React.JS and the AR app using Swift. A REST API would mean that both these applications could consume the same API and work with the same information.
To begin with with we created a brand new WordPress plugin that would contain all the code for the new API. We always follow WordPress guidelines as closely as possible to ensure a smooth developer experience – the codex is brilliant and one of the reasons we love WordPress.
Next we needed to look at how to handle login and authentication within the app. For websites this is handled using browser cookies however with an API this works differently. We decided to use a combination of oAuth and JWT Tokens for authentication. These are industry standard tools and have excellent support – it's not something you would notice when using an app but most modern apps will use one of these 2.
Once the authentication was handled we started building our new endpoints. An endpoint is basically a URL that does a specific function. We created endpoints to do everything from login, register, forgot password, retrieving product data, creating orders and finally checkout. It was extremely satisfying once we had all these working to see how the website, 3d builder and native application could all work together seamlessly and speak the same language.
Finally we looked at how we could make things run as fast as possible. We decided we would cache responses from the API so that it could load immediately rather than querying for the data each time. Utilising the WordPress Transient API we save all the API responses which can be retrieved quickly rather than doing expensive queries everytime the API is used. We set the cache to refresh itself every 24 hours or when something significant is changed.
The journey a user takes is a fundamentally important but an often overlooked part of a project. When building Inspire we looked at the user journey across the website and 3d builder. A common mistake we often see is that the user journey does not align with the goals of the product or even worse that the goal is not clearly defined in the first place. At the start of the project we set out some clear KPIs which we needed to achieve and these were based on the business goals of the client. We then set about defining a clear strategy for achieving these and this meant aligning the user journey with these goals. Users should be able to quickly and easily carry out the tasks they expect and you need them to.
Not always but quite often the shortest path is often the best. While it may sound obvious you will be surprised how often it's not implemented. We started off by looking at how many clicks it would take to order some product samples. The old user journey had no direct path to the materials, you would have to go through 3 screens and 5 clicks before getting to the point of being able to order some samples. We reduced this through a new menu structure which provided direct access to the materials from the header of any page.
What is the 1st thing a user will see?
Does this align with the goals of product?
What is the 2nd thing a user will see? Does this align with the other primary goals of the project?
Hierarchy is important as a users attention span is very short, especially if they have a specific goal in mind. Make it as easy as possible for a user to do what they need to do and guide them to the correct locations. The second area to look at is the content itself – both written and visual. The same questions above apply here as well. Your users expect visual and written content to be a certain way depending on your brand, industry or service. It's vitally important that you take a holistic approach to navigation, visual hierarchy and content if you want your product to be successful.
It's said that the most valuable commodity in the world is a problem. If you can solve that problem then your solution will very lucrative. Design isn't just how something looks, design is how we solve problems. Effective design can have a direct and tangible result on metrics such as orders and revenue. These are metrics that every business, no matter the industry can appreciate. While good design enables, bad design can also stifle.
During our work on Inspire we seen first hand how effective design can positively affect key business metrics. We rebuilt the Inspire 3D rug builder from the ground up to be faster, easier to use and with orders in mind. As a result of this work we managed to achieve an increase orders of 988%! A remarkable achievement but all the success is owed to effective design – both visual and technical. The old design wasn't effective and it was stifling orders. The investment in a new design has a provided a very real return on investment for the client.
This theme continues throughout our journey with Inspire. Our focus on the user journey made it easier to order samples – this resulted in a 9.3% increase in the amount of samples ordered and samples directly correlates with customers making purchases.
In summary myself and the KIJO team had a really insightful journey while building Inspire. It's always positive to see how the combination of data, research, planning and a results focused mindset can fuse together to create something exceptional. Inspire was quite an expansive project that touched many areas and presented lots of challenges along the way. Solving problems is the lifeblood of KIJO and it's what we enjoy doing on a daily basis.
Looking forward to the future we already have our sights set on how we can innovate and improve the next version of Inspire.

Rendez-vous semestriel promis lors de la campagne présidentielle par Emmanuel Macron, la conférence nationale des territoires doit permettre de nouer de nouvelles relations de travail entre l'État français et les collectivités territoriales, et de débattre des mesures qui les concernent. L'initiative a été saluée par les acteurs locaux, mais leurs attentes restaient nombreuses et la plupart restent prudents à l'annonce de sa création. La première conférence nationale des territoires s'est tenue au Sénat le 17 juillet 2017.

La  Conférence Nationale des Territoires (CNT) s'est tenue, à Cahors dans le Lot, à partir du . . Lors de cette CNT, Édouard Philippe a notamment annoncé un plan Aménagement Numérique des Territoires et un plan, sur 5 ans, pour redynamiser les centres villes.

La Conférence nationale des territoires a conduit aux "contrats de Cahors", qui visent à associer les collectivités à la maîtrise de la dépense publique.

Once we have cooked whole potatoes in salted water, peel and crush.
Then mix them with a little butter and cream, and add to this mass three egg yolks and a little grated nutmeg.
When the paste is well worked, we add the egg whites until stiff and knead well again.
Then we make beads with it, and inside each put a bit of ham mixed.
Finally, wrap the balls in bread crumbs and fry in abundant oil and hot.


Wuhan New Port recorded a container throughput of 73,100 TEU in January, an increase of 23 per cent year-on-year. General cargo throughput grew 16 per cent to 8.55m tonnes, according to Xinhua.
An official from the port authority attributed the strong growth to the launch of direct non-stop container shipping services between Wuhan and Shanghai and another new route from Sichuan's Luzhou port via Wuhan to Taiwan. Increased shipping service frequency, enhanced reliability and improved port operations were additional factors, said the official.
This year, Wuhan plans to inaugurate a container shipping service to Vietnam and Thailand, and it will apply to create Wuhan Airport Comprehensive Bonded Zone.


I was wondering if anyone could tell me about clarinets that have the name Evette with Buffet Crampon stamped below. The particular instrument in question was Made in Germany. I was wondering if anyone knew the history of these instruments that were made in Germany. Thanks!
The current Buffet student clarinets from the B10 to the E11 are still made by Schreiber in Germany, as was your Evette. If it's a plastic Evette the current equivalent is a B12. If it's wooden, it's current equivalent is an E11.
For a short time before the plastic Evette became known as the Buffet B12, it saw service under the name B&H Regent II replacing the UK built B&H Regent when B&H's UK clarinet production ceased in around 1984 when B&H acquired Buffet and Schreiber.
The Schreiber-built Evettes and later B10-E11 clarinets filled the gap in Buffet's lineup, then the French-built Buffets start with the E13 Bb and A, then the C12 in Bb only (which previously went under the name 'Evette&Schaeffer' and 'Evette&Schaeffer Master Model'). The pro line French Buffets begin with the R13 then the RC and onwards up to the Tosca.
To add a little to Chris' comments, according to the information I have seen, wooden Evettes were made in France until around 1978, at which time their manufacture was transferred to Germany. They were manufactured in Germany until their designation was changed to E11 around 1981. I don't remember seeing anything about the transfer of plastic Evettes to Germany though it would make sense that it happened at the same time.
In Europe the Buffet B12 and E11 model names came into force around 1985-86 as successors to their previous guise as Evettes (and the B&H Regent II).
Probably around the same time the Evette saxes were being made by Jupiter (which were previously being made in Italy) and the B&H Emperor flutes became the Buffet 'Cooper Scale' ones (and still made in the UK until the production moved to Schreiber in the late '90s). Student Buffet oboes are also made by Schreiber and have a plastic lined bore.
I don't have a plastic evette, but wonder if they say "made in Germany" on them.
Reason is that I was told that Germany has to silver plate as nickel plating was outlawed there.
> nickel plating was outlawed there.
Germany might put under law a lot of things, but I haven't heard of that one. (At least they're still selling nickel-plated flutes and clarinets there, and I doubt they make a difference between manufacturing and selling stuff). Asbestos is banned, but nickel...nah, can't believe that.
What might be or probably is true is that silver-plated things tend to sell better because of (lack of) allergic reactions compared to nickel.
I heard the same thing about ten years back about European manufacturers not using nickel plate for keywork due to the allergic reactions some players have with it.
Around the same time Yamaha supplied their YCL-26IIMSUK with silver plated keywork as standard and the E11 was also in silver plate.
I have two different plastic Evettes and they both say W. Germany. One also says B-12 next to the serial. Both have nickel plated keys.
I still think the keywork on the Evette and earlier B12s is much better than the current B12s.
It is called out sourcing.. Buffet have been doing this for quite some time.
the E11 is a great example of this.
I just bought a Buffet Crampon clarinet model Evette serial number A209758.
a) the material, since someone says "ebony" whereas others says "resin" !!!
or where to find these pieces of information ?
I think I am right in saying that Buffet Crampon makes and plates ALL the keys for all its clarinet models at its factory at Mantes in France.
The French Buffets have their keywork castings made and plating done by a company in France called De Meyere (not sure of the spelling, though they make keywork castings and other singular cast pieces for several companies, as well as do plating for several companies) - not sure if Schreiber have their castings made by the same company, though it would make sense.
Schreiber clarinets have the keywork made in Germany.
Hi....I'm new to the forum and have a question in regards to a Buffet Crampon clarinet that I am considering buying.
My problem is that I can't find any information regarding the markings on it. Basically all I have is the following....."it appears to be all wood, the serial number is 277303 and it says made in w germany and a metal piece that says BD.CL france."
Like I said I don't know all that much about clarinets, since I'm normally a Sax player but would appreciate any infromation relative to what model this is and approximately what it might be worth.
I have read with interest all the messages on this thread about Evette Buffet Crampon clarinets.
I have recently been having a tidy out up in our loft and have found my old clarinet that I used at school. I was wondering if anyone could either give me some information about it or direct me to somewhere that could. It is in a brown plastic case with red velvet lining. The instrument itself is plastic. It has the word Evette in an oval with Buffet Crampon underneath. The mouth piece has N4 stamped on it. The instrument also has 'made in W Germany' stamped on it with 186632 underneath. Would anyone also know what the value of it might be?
Insurance value will be that of a new Buffet B12 but the actual sale value will be between £50-150 depending on the condition.
Hello, I have a plastic Evette Buffet Crampon instrument. Stamped made in Germany, with serial #134459 stamped below it. The mouthpiece has Ebolin Brithart, 3 star, stamped in handwriting. Can you tell me if this is a clarinet, or an eboe ? And possibly the year and value ?
Please Help! I'm so confused. I recently purchased an old Evette Buffet Crampon made in Germany at an Estate sale. Who ever owned it took very good care of it. The logo is a little worn. The serial number 123641 is stamped on the lower joint. The logo is only on the upper joint and the bell. It came in a hard shell case with Blue/purple velvet lining. It came with a Selmer Goldtone 2 mouth piece. The ligature and cap were missing. I believe it is wood, but I am no expert. My son just started playing a year ago.
Sharpi — what do you want help with? You described many details, but didn't ask any questions.
I'm trying to find out what model this clarinet is. I'm hoping it's an intermediate level at the least. Is it an E11, an E13? I just want to know the quality of the horn, and possibly the approximate year.
I don't have a definitive answer for you. Without seeing the logos and a couple other details, I can only speculate.
The mouthpiece/ligature/cap have nothing to do with the instrument.
It sounds like it is a Buffet outsourced Schreiber-manufactured E11 or pre-E11 (an Evette).
Is it made of wood? Does it have grain?
Are there cut-outs (recesses) under the right hand pinky keys?
The Schreiber-built Buffets won't have 'Made in France' stamped under the Buffet logo. You'll see that on the E13 and upwards (as they're made by Buffet), but not on the B10 to E11 which were made by Schreiber.
It's me again! It's funny because I searched for an answer to another question and came upon this post, which I've interacted with last year. I have learned a great deal over the last year about this instrument as a whole since then and I thought I would close the loop with what's happened since my original questions.
I have made mistakes. Being the mom of a young player, and knowing nothing about the instrument itself has been quite the learning curve. I'm closing the loop for other moms that come after, who are smart enough to do the research before trying to save money, when you don't know if the kid's interest will last.
The Evette I spoke of in my earlier posts has finally come full circle. It ended up being a Schreiber made horn in W Germany, plastic student model. I posted a new thread a few weeks back looking for answers about the barrel it came with. Last year when I found out it wasn't worth repairing, the horn became a project. I am a metalsmith and like to tinker with things, so I took this Instrument apart, cleaned it and repadded it myself. In the mean time, I got what ended up being a 1930's wooden Evette & Schaeffer.
I discovered older is not always better. Though a beautiful sounding horn, it shrunk over the winter. I took the E&S instrument to the shop and they put it in a humidifier for a week and gave it back. The bell ring was still loose so they told me to make my own hydration box. I found out later, this was not the best advice, luckily no damage was done. The bottom ring on the bell was shimmed.
While the E&S was in the shop, the kid had to play his cheap Medini, which then lost a pad. So I turned to the original Evette (tinker piece). I managed fairly in my project but the lower joint was giving me trouble and I needed answers about why this barrel didn't fit right. Turns out, I didn't do a bad job and the rest of the repair will be a minimal cost. As luck would have it, I contacted a guy on EBay selling upper joints in bulk and asked if he had a plastic Evette barrel, and he did.
In the long run, all is well that ends well, but my advice to any budding clarinet parents, is just buy an instrument from a reputable music shop. You will end up spending the same amount of money at the end of all things.
Thanks for all your posts, the journey has been an interesting one.
"The Evette I spoke of in my earlier posts has finally come full circle. It ended up being a Schieber made horn in W Germany"
When did Schreiber move production from Nauheim to Markneukirchen?
Oops yes, typos I will edit thanks!

How do you fight a renewed Judgement?
What is the average pain and suffering settlement?
What percentage of cases settle before trial?
Why do lawyers take so long to settle a case?
How much does the average trial cost?
Why do some cases never go to trial?
Can a case get dismissed before trial?
Can a judgment be reversed?
What happens if your case is dismissed?
Do felonies get dropped?
What are the consequences of a first time felony?
Your options are quite limited.
Attack the Judgment Creditor's Standing. You might try to attack the judgment holder's standing to enforce the judgment by demanding proof that it is the rightful owner of the judgment.
Negotiate a Settlement.
File for Bankruptcy.
That said, from my personal experience, the typical payout for pain and suffering in most claims is under $15,000. This is because most claims involve small injuries. The severity of the injury is a huge factor that affects the value of pain and suffering damages.
Your settlement could be delayed because your case involves large damages, or put simply, a lot of money. In this case, insurance companies will delay paying money out on a settlement until they are confident about it. They will investigate every aspect of the case and every detail of the liability and damages.
How Much Does a Typical Trial Cost? each case are different and therefore what is needed to bring or defend a case vary so much. However, more importantly, an inexpensive trial – i.e. a simple case, with few or no experts required – usually costs $25,000+ just in terms of lawyer, court, transcription, copying, etc.
It's no secret that the overwhelming majority of criminal cases never reach trial. The prosecution may dismiss charges, perhaps because of a lack of evidence. And some defendants escape conviction through pretrial motions, like a motion to suppress evidence. But most cases end pursuant to a plea bargain.
Many cases are dismissed before a plea or trial. Many cases end up being dismissed, by the prosecutor or the court. The first task for a defense attorney in a criminal case is to determine whether there are any grounds on which the case could be dismissed before a plea or trial.
In order to vacate a judgment in California, You must file a motion with the court asking the judge to vacate or "set aside" the judgment. Among other things, you must tell the judge why you did not respond to the lawsuit (this can be done by written declaration). You may even be able to win the case.
A dismissed case means that a lawsuit is closed with no finding of guilt and no conviction for the defendant in a criminal case by a court of law. A dismissed case will still remain on the defendant's criminal record.
California Penal Code 17 permits many people convicted of felonies to amend their conviction to a misdemeanor. Upon reduction to a misdemeanor, the misdemeanor can then be expunged or dismissed under California Penal Code 1203.4 or 1203.4a. A felony is a crime punishable by more than a year in state prison.
For less serious or first-time felonies, the judge can usually sentence a person to either jail time or probation, instead of prison. If the crime involves serious physical harm, like murder or aggravated assault, a convicted felon will likely face a lengthy prison sentence.

Whittaker has done both, closing and opening of our pool in the past and I was very satisfied with their service. They're prompt and very efficient. They are closing our pool this year again. Originally I set the date for Sept 13, but with the beautiful weather we're having, I called and asked to postpone it for couple of weeks. They were very accommodating and agreed to come and close the pool next week. I have been purchasing my pool supplies and have the water tested at their store for more than 5 years.
We have used Whitaker Pool & Spa service for a number of years for any of our pool related needs. They are very efficient and do their job quickly and without fuss. Their service people are friendly and explain what needs to be done (pump repair, closing or opening pool). Their office staff are very nice and easy to do business with. I have no hesitation recommending them to others.
Whitaker Pool & Spa Service has not added any photos.


As our beloved pets grow older, it is important to monitor their health even more closely as they age much more quickly than we do. We recommend semi-annual examinations and blood work to help diagnose diseases in their early stage. When we catch a disease in the early stages, we have many more treatment options. It is our goal to help your pet feel better and help them live a long, happy life.
We believe life for pets should be as pain free as possible. As pets get older they frequently develop arthritis and other painful conditions. We offer cutting-edge pain management for controlling pain in our beloved elderly pets.
We also offer palliative care for our terminal patients. We want to make them as comfortable as possible without the stress of further diagnostics.


I don't know what to be more excited about — the fact that we got our first snow fall of the season this past weekend or that this week is Thanksgiving! So much excitement I can hardly handle it all. :) I'm torn between wanting to put up all of our Christmas decorations to compliment the blanket of snow outside or to hold my ground and wait until after Thanksgiving.
Since we're hosting a small Thanksgiving with my parents this year, my fall decorations have made it yet another week. But come next weekend, Christmas is in full force in the Hoerr household! This snow has really made the fall leaves and pumpkins seem a little out of place.
But enough about snow and Christmas (see, I can't help myself!), it's the week of Thanksgiving, folks!
Untraditional or not, it was a hit! Getting asked for the recipe = potluck success. The roasted sweet potatoes are good on their own, but are given an extra bit of flavor with the cranberries and the hint of smoky heat from the adobo sauce in the cranberry sauce. It's so mild, you can hardly detect it, except know there's something different about it. The roasted pepitas give texture to the salad and the cilantro and green onions add another layer of flavor and color that keeps you going back for more. While the flavors all seem a bit unique and an unlikely combination, they surprisingly compliment each other so well.
I know Thanksgiving can seem like a puzzle in determining how to get all the food prepared and ready to serve all at the same time. And who wants to be stuck in the kitchen all day on Thanksgiving anyway? Thankfully this side can be prepared a day or two in advance. Simply roast the potatoes and make the sauce ahead of time. When you're ready to serve, warm them back up and add the additional toppings. A sweet potato side dish that is ready for the table!
Whether you're all about the classic sweet potato and marshmallow casserole or you're looking for something a bit different (and healthier), this is going to be a winner at the Thanksgiving table this year.
Wherever you're gathering this Thursday, I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving! I'm so thankful for you, my readers. You're the reason I keep writing each week and sharing my favorite recipes with all of you!
Toss the sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until tender, stirring after 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Combine the remaining tablespoon olive oil, cranberries, water, honey, and adobo sauce in a saucepan. Place pan over medium-low heat and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and cook for 2-4 minutes more or until the cranberries pop and are softened, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. Mash with a fork until chunky.
Toss together the roasted sweet potatoes, pepitas, green onions, cilantro, and cranberry.
Note: To make this ahead of time, prepare the potatoes and cranberry sauce. Reheat the day you are serving it and combine the remaining toppings. Serve warm.

All-inclusive arranging of MBO for TRŽAN Lahůdky, s.r.o.
VGD Corporate Finance acted as the exclusive financial advisor and partner for arranging MBO in TRŽAN Lahůdky, s.r.o. with the sales around CZK 100m and for arranging the acquisition financing of the transaction.
Petr Beránek, the Transaction Manager, commented: "All-inclusive arranging of MBO, including negotiation and stipulation of the terms and conditions, arranging and negotiation of the acquisition financing as well as the coordination of the post-acquisition merger is an example of the complex services, provided by the VGD Corporate Finance team. The great challenge of this transaction was to raise the acquisition bank loan at the best available terms and conditions for the company, which is significantly asset-light – it runs its business in the leased premises and the collateral value of the production technology is relatively minor compared to the Enterprise Value."
TRŽAN Lahůdky, s.r.o. ranks among the traditional deli makers with the firm market position since 1995 and the sales around CZK 100m. IFS Global Markets Food Quality Certificate qualifies the company for deliveries to the super and hypermarket chains. With its central production plant in Čelákovice, the company delivers its deli goods in Prague and the most of Central Bohemia.
Tomáš Tržický, the original company owner, decided to shift his business focus into the property industry and to pass the company on to Daniel Müller, current operation director, for the the Enterprise Value at 4xEBITDA.
Senior acquisition bank financing was granted by Raiffeisenbank, a.s., one of the company's house banks.
Daniel Müller, the new owner and director of the company, commented: "Running the company, which delivers the fresh deli goods to the counters and tables of our customers every day, is very time demanding. When it came to such a complex task like MBO, we entrusted VGD Corporate Finance with arranging thereof without hesitation. Today, when MBO is successfully completed, we can see it was right decision."
VGD Corporate Finance, s.r.o. ranks among the leaders in Mergers and Acquisition in Czechia. It has also a strong team in Structured Finance, which has monitored a rising demand of financing of acquisitions by means of MBO. Czech banks also responded to this trend by offering adequate solutions. In combination with available junior financing, even small transaction became attractive.
Transaction was successfully completed in June 2018.

SIFMA C&L's (Compliance & Legal Society's) Annual Conference this year was in sunny Orlando, and 2000 of the financial industry's senior compliance and legal professionals gathered to discuss current and emerging issues in the securities industry.
We were so happy to see old friends and make new ones at our booth. As always, 8of9 became known for the best swag at the conference. We gave out beanies with built in Bluetooth speakers – since we are helping regulatory information get communicated over all the noise in the market!
It was an especially exciting event as it was the 50th anniversary of the conference, the theme, "A Constant Voice Through 50 Years of Change." Overall, the keynote speeches discussed the goal of recalibrating regulations within the U.S. and internationally. And as always, a pressing concern was ensuring that our capital markets are able to run efficiently in the face of stress. Visit our friends at SIFMA for their debrief.
o The House Financial Services Committee recently reported a bill to designate the Federal Reserve Board as the lead regulator for the Volcker Rule. The Federal Reserve Board would hold all rulemaking and interpretive authority.
o The SEC is looking to simplify regulations for investors. Currently, if an individual with a 401(k) account buys an annuity and holds a brokerage account with stocks in it, that person will have a financial relationship with five regulators. The SEC believes this creates too many standards to comply with and is working towards simplification.
o The Senate recently passed this bill which differentiates regulations according to the size of a bank, and is meant to provide regulatory relief for smaller regional and community banks. This is viewed by many conference participants as critical to spurring U.S. bank lending.
o Days before SIFMA's annual conference, the 5th Circuit's Court of Appeals vacated the DOL Fiduciary Rule.
o The rule will be out on May 7th unless the DOL appeals to the 5th Circuit or takes the appeal to the Supreme Court.
o SIFMA and other market participants seem pleased with the 5th Circuit's decision.
o However, many market participants' compliance teams have already updated policies and procedures and changed contract language to comply with the rule. Now, these teams will need to go back to review and potentially make changes.

The Term "rice bag" is a Derogatory way to Curb Dissent
by	Priyanka Chakrabarty
Movements like ghar wapsi and terms like "rice bag" have close connection. They belong to the same school of thought that acknowledges and validates only one identity- the upper caste Hindu identity. Here's a brief history of the term
Recently a large number of women on social media are being called 'rice bag', especially by right wing conservatives. It is a term particularly targetted at the members of Christian community in India. We delve into the history of the phrase, which might seem harmless at the face of it, and discover it is rooted in bias, narrow ideas of who is an Indian and, parochial ideas of belongingness.
Also Read: Women Writers Talk About Importance Of Female Narratives
What Does rice bag Mean?
Rice bag is a slur which is specifically targeted at Christians in India. Unreliable versions of history portray Christianity as a religion of the coloniser. During colonisation British came into India and converted lower caste and backward class Hindus to Christianity. The British gave the converts perks such as free food and education. The "perks" of conversion is colloquially called "rice bag" and such converts are dubbed as rice bag converts. This is a politically coloured narrative that paints Christians as "sell outs" for few perks.
I'm getting responses on my Twitter timeline, "rice bag". The reference is to the fact that my ancestors three years ago allegedly converted to Christianity to get rice. I'm glad they did coz they also got education. That's why I can speak of injustice on social media.
— Cynthia Stephen (@cynstepin) October 3, 2020
In the book Ivory Throne, historian Manu Pillai traces the history of Christianity dating back to pre-colonial era. The Syrian Christians in India are one of the oldest sects of Christianity dating back to 52 AD. Christianity in India, has come twice. The first time it came to the coast of Kerala was before Christ via by St Thomas Apostle. Hence, Syrian Christians have existed in India even before the Portuguese came to the shores of Kerala in 1498. A brief history of Christianity in India, rooted in historical research and accounts, sheds light upon the dangers of narratives which proclaim minorities to be "sell outs" for easy gains.
Why is it Derogatory?
Calling an individual "rice bag" is derogatory and dehumanising. It is reducing their identity, opinions and dissent to one aspect, their identity of being a minority. Established people from Christian communities are often called "rice bag" on social media. Faye D'Souza and Cynthia Stephen have often been at the receiving end of the slur. They are active critics of the current day Government and their policies. It is used to silence dissenters on social media by using their minority status against them.
At the root of this slur lies the idea of belongingness. While contemporary political narratives wish to reduce the aspect of belongingness to Hindus alone, one cannot discount the history of Indian subcontinent being diverse. There are enough and more reliable historical narratives that document the fact that various religions have lived harmoniously in India, Hinduism merely being one of them. Dissent continues to remain a Fundamental right guaranteed by the Constitution of India. A right that can be exercised by every Indian who lives here and has always lived in this subcontinent.
Reshaping Histories for Political Ends?
The primary goal is reshaping history by ordering the past to meet current political agendas. The narrative that is being built by right wing movements such as ghar wapsi is targeted at minorities, to convert them back to the religion they belonged to originally before they were converted or forced to convert. History is being shaped to fit the ideological mould of how Hindus have suffered at the hands of "invaders" and it obstructed the rise of Hindu state.
Movements like ghar wapsi and terms like "rice bag" have close connection. They belong to the same school of thought that acknowledges and validates only one identity- the upper caste Hindu identity. To validate and legitimise this identity every form of history is being re-shaped. Any opposition, criticism or even the simple act of stating one's opinions is met with terms like "rice bag".

Another Unity Temple celebration
Opinion: Ken Trainor
I wrote this column two years ago to celebrate the homecoming of the Unity Temple Unitarian-Universalist congregation following two years of renovation and rehab to Frank Lloyd Wright's landmark structure. Published on June 21, 2017, I thought a reprint was in order after hearing the good news that Unity Temple is one of eight Wright buildings declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization):
The message board outside proclaims this month's theme, "Surprised by Joy," but it's doubtful anyone at this first Sunday service in Unity Temple in two years is surprised by the joy they feel coming home again after such a long hiatus.
The congregation relocated to United Lutheran Church on the north end of town and took pride in packing the pews of that great barn of a church, beneath the towering presence of one of the largest back-wall crucifixes in the village. It was very different from the home they turned over to construction crews in June of 2015. The bare brick of United Lutheran's walls speak to a more austere, traditional spiritual orientation, where worshipers see the backs of each other's heads, facing forward, the only faces visible being speakers at the lecterns, or the choir as it struggled to overcome the smothering acoustics of the place.
The Lutheran congregation was as welcoming as they could be and the Unitarians were grateful, but it wasn't the same. Feisty, independent souls that they are, however, these free-thinkers insisted their home was wherever they set up worship. The congregation was more important than the place in which they congregated.
Where United Lutheran is a traditional cruciform church, high-ceilinged, with a long aisle from sanctuary to the front door, Unity Temple is a cube, blending the horizontal and the vertical, with two balconies rising above the main floor on three sides and a lower-level cloister where the choir clusters, waiting to ascend and sing. The balconies set the congregants face to face, town meeting style, no one more than 42 feet in any direction from the pulpit, and the sense — and expectation — of creating community is both intensified and celebrated here. This is democratic worship, non-hierarchical, for the service of man and woman as well as the worship of God: Wright's revolution of spiritual reorientation.
The clear, high-set windows refuse to shut out the world as so many churches do, and the skylight lets in sunlight in slivers that creep along the walls in playful patterns, evoking one of the late, great Leonard Cohen's best lines: "There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." For now though, they're hoping the cracks have all been sealed so the rain doesn't get in.
The surprise in coming home isn't the joy congregants feel so much as recognizing how important this particular space is to their congregating.
"Oh, what a beautiful morning," the choir sings, though not at first in unison. Select members solo each Hammersteinian phrase, "All the sounds of the earth are like music," each voice imperfect in its unique fashion, before blending seamlessly together. "I've got a wonderful feeling everything's going my way." The arrangement testifies to both individual differences and the harmonizing of community.
"Send the good news, send the word," the men sing during the prelude. "We the people will be heard."
"Go out and tell a story to your daughters and your sons," the full choir sings later, the anthem from Ragtime. "Let it echo far and wide. Make them hear you, make them hear you."
Worship here is serious, but not solemn. Senior Minister Alan Taylor welcomes attendees, long-timers and first-timers alike. "Bring all of who you are," he says. "Whoever you are, wherever you are on your life journey, you are welcome here."
Rev. Emily Gage says it's nice to see everyone's face and teases, "I notice that everybody's back in their regular seat." She invites the kids to sit on the soft, new carpet in front of the main-floor pews (original to Unity Temple, the woodwork restored to long-ago freshness) and tells them about the Unitarian tradition of Flower Communion. When she asks for volunteers, the young hands (of which there are many) shoot up. They distribute sprigs of flowers to everyone in the congregation.
"Even if you didn't bring one this morning," Gage says, "you'll still leave with one. That's how we roll here."
This space has been renewed by two years of hard labor. The warm earth-tones are more vibrant, the walls subtly but beautifully textured and, best of all, the air between them cooled geo-thermally. But there's more going on than facility rehab, says Taylor during his sermon. "This building is not complete without our living, breathing congregation. That completes the design. Human connection powers our lives. … This building is to be used. I claim full responsibility for the first spill. We are forgiven for our marks. It shows our use."
The congregation has changed, he noted, in two years. People have died who did not get to experience this homecoming. New members have joined.
"The journey to this day was longer than two years," Taylor observed. It made him think about the great cathedral of Chartres in France. "Those workers began something they knew they would not see. We too are building — on foundations we did not lay — a cathedral to the human spirit."
"Where love has lived, a house still holds its warmth," writes the late Irish poet/philosopher John O'Donohue. "The beauty of a home is ultimately determined by the nature of its atmosphere, by the texture and spirit of those who dwell there."
Unity Temple is home again.
And Unity Temple is also a World Heritage site, one of 30 or so in the United States and over a thousand worldwide, defined by UNESCO as "a natural or man-made site, area, or structure recognized as being of outstanding international importance and therefore as deserving special protection." Sites are nominated to and designated by the World Heritage Convention.

Foster Parents, Advocates Warn Adults' Unhealthy Drinking Habits Take A Toll On Children
Around 80 Percent Of La Crosse County Foster Care Cases Involve Substance Abuse
By Hope Kirwan
Monday, May 20, 2019, 5:00am
Mike Desmond is the former director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater La Crosse. That's how he met K, the then 14-year-old boy he and his wife Karen would eventually foster. We're only using K's first initial to protect his privacy.
Mike said K and his brothers were living in a hotel with their mom and it was clear there were problems. So one day, Mike gave K his phone number.
"I said 'If you feel like you're afraid or scared or whatever, call me.' And they called me shortly after that and I went down to the hotel and picked up five of the six boys," Mike said.

He said the boys started living with them informally in 2015 until they could get placements through the foster care system. He felt like K and his brothers were finally getting the care they longed for.
"They love their mom and their mom loves them," Mike said. "I just think with the alcohol, she wasn't always capable of giving them the attention and love that they needed nor was she able to supply for them just general basic needs."
Lila Barlow, supervisor of La Crosse County's Foster Care program [2], said K's situation is common.
She said 80 to 85 percent of cases in the foster care system involve alcohol or drug problems, which the county tracks in the same category.
"A lot of times it's hard to distinguish if it's just alcohol or if it's a mixture of drugs," Barlow said.
She said parents in these situations are often using substances to cope with stress, trauma or another mental health issue.

"When you start putting that combination together, then we're looking at more of 90 percent of our cases have a mental health or a drug and alcohol combination of some sort," Barlow said. "And to try to weed that out is really difficult."
Barlow said the number of substance-related cases has increased in recent years because of the rise in opioid use. But she said alcoholism has always been a problem — and it often goes undetected.
"In a state like Wisconsin, where alcohol is a norm, it's socially accepted, I think it's very hard for the friends, the neighbors, the families to say someone has an alcohol issue," Barlow said.
Barlow said when friends or family members see a parent's alcohol use as normal, they justify when that parent is drinking frequently or gets too drunk to care for their children.
"That is overlooked way more than if there were needles or if there were pills or if there were other things that people would say 'OK that is absolutely an addiction.' I think alcoholism tends to get a little bit further along in the addiction before people recognize it," Barlow said.
Tony Iniguez, education specialist at Marshfield Clinic's Child Advocacy Center [3], said any kind of substance abuse by parents can have a huge impact on a child's future.

"It really affects healthy brain development which can lead to toxic stress or that toxic stress adaptation, where children then become very good at perceiving threat and fear and they don't become very good at learning and viewing teachers and other adults as safe," Iniguez said.
When kids brains are wired for surviving stress [4] at home, he explained, they have a hard time focusing in class or even remembering basic instruction.
But those kids are learning from their parents.
"The biggest lesson that children are learning is the lesson of maladaptive coping. Children learn by watching and by listening to us," Iniguez said. "If the parent is reactive, if the parent is aggressive, if the parent is punching holes in the wall, that's what that child is learning."
Iniguez said children in unstable home environments may also be more likely to turn to drinking themselves. He points to a study done by Marshfield Clinic [5] in 2016 that compared certain health metrics of patients based on the number of adverse childhood experiences [6] — or ACEs — they had.
Researchers found that zero percent of the patients with no ACEs reported heavy drinking, defined as five or more drinks on one occasion for men or four or more drinks on one occasion for women, in the past 30 days.
But 32 percent of patients with 1 to 3 ACEs reported heavy drinking and so did 80 percent of patients with four or more ACEs.
The same study found 27 percent of all surveyed patients reported substance abuse in the household as a child, the second most common adverse childhood experience.
This is one of the concerns the Desmonds have for K.
"Traumatized kids use. And they use for the same reason adults use — you're not happy with your life, you think your life's going nowhere, you have no self esteem, and guess what? Alcohol deadens that pain," Mike said.
He said they tried to show K what life is like without depending on alcohol. But Karen said K was already drinking when they began formally fostering him in 2017.
"We have a lot of open field across the street and I know that they sat out there, he and his brothers and some of his friends and had alcohol because I found the bottles," Karen said. "Some of that I guess is kind of typical of teens. I can't help but think that watching their mother over the years, they kind of felt like it was the OK thing to do."

2019 Pirelli National Superstock 1000 Championship.
Former British 125cc Champion Dan Cooper will make a full time return to short circuit competition next year with the Stroud rider confirming he'll contest the 2019 Pirelli National Superstock 1000 Championship.
The 31-year old will ride a BMW S1000RR in the 11-round series with backing from local company Impcross Engineering whilst he will also make his annual visit to the Isle of Man TT races where he will contest the Superbike, Senior and Superstock races on the distinctive purple-liveried machines.
It was 2011 when Cooper last competed in the British Championship having competed in the Supersport class for five years after the aforementioned 125cc success. Riding for British Championship winning teams including Centurion Racing and Smiths Racing, Cooper's best year came in 2009 when he finished in fifth place overall after winning at Oulton Park and taking further podiums at Snetterton and Knockhill.
Ninth overall was taken in 2009 with podiums achieved once more at Knockhill and Snetterton whilst 2011 saw him claim ninth in the final season table again despite being forced to miss three rounds. Another rostrum finish was taken, this time at Thruxton and although next season will be his first full campaign on the short circuits for eight years, and his first in the Superstock 1000cc class, it's a challenge he's looking forward to.
Cooper commented: "It's been a good few years since I contested a full season in the British Championships so I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into the Superstock class. It's one of the toughest series' on the calendar with full grids and a healthy blend of youth and experience so I'm under no illusions about the difficulty of the task ahead but it's a challenge I'm relishing and looking forward to. There are many top riders in the class but the BMW is a great bike so with a great team behind me, including the increased support from Impcross Engineering, I'm confident we can give a good account of ourselves."
More recent years have seen Cooper focus his attentions on the International road races, the highlight of which has been victory in the 2016 Ulster Grand Prix Supertwins race. Further podiums have been taken at Dundrod and the North West 200 whilst the Isle of Man TT has seen him take a best finish of fifth in the 2017 Lightweight race. Numerous other top ten finishes have been taken at all three events as well as at the Macau Grand Prix.
It his is roads campaign that has led to him returning to the British Championships with the value of riding week in week out clearly seen in the results of the likes of Peter Hickman and Dean Harrison around the 37.73-mile Mountain Course.
Dan added: "It's clear that you need to be contesting one of the major classes on the British Championship schedule if you want to run towards the front of the International road races like the TT. The amount of track time you get at each round is invaluable and racing week in week out means you can arrive at the TT or North West 200 sharp and at the top of your game."
"You can see this in the results of the riders that do both, like Peter, Dean and Josh Brookes so contesting the Superstock series means I'll be in the best shape possible when I get to the TT which is where I want to succeed. Like I say, I'm really looking forward to the season ahead and am grateful for all my sponsors for their continued support particularly Impcross Engineering who will be the main backers for my Superstock campaign."
Impcross Engineering have over 50 years' experience in the Commercial Aerospace sector and Defence Industry, working with some of the world's most high-profile aerospace companies. Based in Stroud, Gloucestershire, they have built an enviable reputation with their mission to be at the centre of engineering excellence by continually producing engineering solutions.

Canadians spend more time on the internet than any other country in the world. Why?
Californians love surfing the waves.
Canadians love surfing the web.
Indeed, for many years Canadians have lead the way in internet usage, topping survey results and data collections through and through. While Canada has less overall people than the U.S., China, or India, higher percentages of our population spend more time online.
The Canadian Press talked to a some of the Internet's biggest and brightest about what Canadians are doing online:
Canadians spend more time online than users in any of the countries tracked by measurement company comScore, which also said Canada had the highest penetration of Internet access. About 68 per cent of the Canadian population is online, comScore estimated in April, compared to 62 per cent in France and the United Kingdom, 60 per cent in Germany, 59 per cent in the United States, 57 per cent in Japan, and 36 per cent in Italy.
Canada was the only country in which users logged an average of more than 2,500 minutes online a month, which is almost 42 hours. Israel was second with an average of around 2,300 minutes, while a few other countries were around the 2,000-minute mark.
And we're always bleeding edge, it seems: we get addicted to internet stuff before other countries even know it's going to be popular. "In Canada, YouTube per capita consumption of video is No. 1 in the world, it's just absolutely crazy in terms of how passionate Canadians are about YouTube," Chris O'Neill, Canada's country director for Google, told the Press. In fact, according to the Globe and Mail article, it's estimated that about 21 million Canadians visit YouTube each month. 147 million Americans do the same—but factor in that the U.S. has 10 times Canada's population, and you quickly realize Canadians are way ahead on a per capita basis.
Heck, Canadian users even view more overall videos, clocking in a sky-high average of 147 per month—compared with a mere 100 per U.S. viewer. And let's not forget our early adoption of Facebook, even though it was originally launched across American universities:
Canadians were among the eager early adopters of Facebook and at one point trailed just the U.S. in overall numbers of users. According to socialbakers.com, Canada has more than 17 million users, and is neck and neck with India for 9th and 10th on the list of the countries with the most Facebook accounts. But Canada's penetration rate of about 51.2 per cent of the population, or 65.9 per cent of the online population, is still one of the most significant on Facebook.
Twitter, a "real-time information network," not a social network like Facebook, is much smaller, but still growing at an impressively rapid rate. And many thanks to Canadians for that: "What we can share is that the number of Twitter accounts in Canada has increased by 75 per cent since the beginning of the year, and the number of daily tweets more than doubled," a Twitter spokesperson said in an email to the Canadian Press.
Vancouver's Hootsuite Media saw 250 per cent growth in usage among its Canadian users this year. About 5.5 per cent of its daily traffic comes from Canadian users. And what's a Twitter discussion without its reigning superstar? One Canadian user is among the most influential of them all: teen popstar Justin Bieber, with an incredible 6,400,000 followers, is mentioned in nearly a quarter of a million tweets each and every day. Wow.
Want even more sites dominated by Canada? Check it out:
The average Canadian web surfer reads 16 Wikipedia pages a month, which is the most in the world — one more than German users, two more than Polish users and four more than Americans. Canadian users generate about 217,000 edits a month, which ranks 8th among the most productive countries.
It's truly amazing that such a small (population wise) country and dominate so many aspects of internet usage. It's like we're Silicon Valley. But for some reason, we're short on theories. Nobody's really delved into this consistent trend to try and figure out what's in our water.
Maybe it's because we're lonely in our igloos spaced so far apart that the internet is our saviour of entertainment and socialization.
Or maybe we're just awesome.
Why do you think we spend so much time online?


Do I need a license to rent a dumpster in Smithtown?
If this is your first time renting a dumpster in Smithtown, you may not understand what is legally permissible in regards to the placement of the dumpster. If you plan to put the dumpster entirely on your own property, you are not normally required to obtain a license.
If, however, your project needs you to put the dumpster on a public street or roadway, this will usually mean you have to make an application for a license. It is always wise to consult your local city or county offices (perhaps the parking enforcement department) if you own a question regarding the need for a license on a street.
Should you fail to obtain a license and find out afterwards that you were required to have one, you may probably face a fine from your local authorities. In most in Smithtown cases, though, you should be just fine without a license as long as you keep the dumpster on your property.
Picking the best dumpster for your endeavor is an important aspect of in Smithtown. Should you choose a dumpster that's too small, you will not have enough room for your debris and waste, which means you'll have to schedule extra trips. In case you select one that's too large, you'll save time, but you'll squander money.
Should you call a business in Smithtown and describe the job for which you want a dumpster, they can recommend the finest size. Their years of experience mean they generally get it just about right. A 10-yard dumpster typically works well for medium-sized clean-up projects and modest remodeling jobs. A 20-yard dumpster is the best option for big home clean-up projects and medium-sized renovation projects, while a 30-yard dumpster has higher walls which are ideal for a home cleanout or remodeling jobs on a sizable house. 40-yard dumpsters are massively big and are used only on the largest projects like new construction.
When you need to rent a dumpster in Smithtown to use at your home, it's a good idea to keep several guidelines in mind. First, ascertain the size dumpster that can work best for your endeavor. Temporary dumpsters usually come in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes. Next, consider the placement of the dumpster on your premises. Recommendations call for you to provide an area that is twice the width and height of the container. This will definitely ensure proper height and space clearance.
The price you're quoted for the container will include a one time delivery and pickup fee, along with regular fees for disposal, fuel and tax. You ought to also understand you could only fill the container to the top; no debris should be sticking out. As the homeowner, you also had better check to your local city or municipality to find out whether a license is necessary to set the container on the road.
Most affordable Dumpster Rental in Smithtown - Is It Worth It?
Clearly you need to spend as little cash as possible when renting a dumpster in Smithtown. Sometimes, though, the most inexpensive in Smithtown alternative is not worth it. In fact, it may wind up costing you more in the long run.
Choosing the cheapest option could mean that you get a dumpster that's too little for your endeavor. Once you fill up the dumpster, you'll have to cover another to complete your project. It's usually more affordable to get a bigger size and prevent the hassle.
The most inexpensive firms in Smithtown mightn't include things like drop off and pick up fees. Be sure your quotes include all extra fees. This way you can compare prices correctly to get the best deal. Customer care another major factor. More than a few companies keep prices low by cutting corners on service. The last thing you desire would be to waste time awaiting a truck to arrive by means of your dumpster.
The amount of money that you spend renting a dumpster in Smithtown will depend on several variables.
The total amount of time that you need to keep the in Smithtown will also change the cost. The the more time you keep the dumpster, the more you can expect to pay.
Services are another factor that could influence your overall cost. Many businesses comprise services like dumpster drop off and pick up in their prices. Some companies, however, fee for all these services. This makes it important for you to ask about any hidden fees.
Most companies in Smithtown usually rent containers for a regular speed for 7 days, although most one-time customers end up keeping their container an average of three and a half days. When you call to reserve the container, discussion with the customer support representative about the period of time you believe you will need.
If it turns out that your project takes longer than you anticipated, only telephone the dumpster business to describe. Most companies will charge you on a per-day basis following your initial 7 days. It is vital that you convey this additional demand when you understand you have it since most dumpster firms have a limited variety of bins that could already be reserved. Most companies will work together with you to accommodate your extra rental time. Should you believe you will want the dumpster for an extra week or more, be sure to mention that; rates may change based on a longer time frame.
Most residential areas allow roll-off dumpsters. For those who own a driveway, then you could generally park the dumpster there so you really do not annoy your neighbors or cause traffic problems by putting it on the road.
Some jobs, however, will require putting the dumpster on the road. If this applies to you personally, then you need to speak to your city to find out whether you are required to get any licenses before renting the dumpster. Usually, cities will allow you to keep a dumpster on a residential road for a short quantity of time. If you believe you will need to keep it to the road for a number of weeks or months, however, you may need to get a permit.

No Trend war eine amerikanische Punk-Band aus der näheren Umgebung von Washington, D.C. Ihren Stil kann man als eine Mischung von Hardcore Punk, Post-Punk und Noise-Rock Elementen bezeichnen. Da die Musik im Laufe der Zeit auch Einflüsse aus anderen Genres aufwies ist es schwer, die Band einem Genre zuzuordnen.

Bandgeschichte
Über den Werdegang der Band ist nur wenig bekannt. Tatsache ist, dass sich die einzelnen Mitglieder der Band Anfang der 1980er Jahre in der Punkszene in und um Washington D.C. zu einer Band formierten. Aufgrund ihrer für Hardcore-Verhältnisse zum Teil langsamen und ungewöhnlichen Spielart wurde sie in der Szene sehr schnell zu einem verstoßenen Außenseiter. Die Band selbst schien das nicht zu stören, teilweise war das sogar so beabsichtigt. No Trend provozierte bei Konzerten die durch Stereotype zu einem Klischee festgefahrene Punkszene, der es mehr und mehr an der ursprünglichen Individualität mangelte, immer öfter durch ihr originelles (und zugleich bei vielen Punks verhasstes) Auftreten. So fand auch ihre Musik wenig Gegenliebe. Aufgrund ihres Konzeptes und der Bedienung bestimmter Stilmittel wurde die erste Single in der Musikpresse zu Unrecht als eine Kopie von Flipper und Public Image Ltd. bezeichnet, auch wenn man offensichtliche Parallelen zu Flipper nicht abstreiten kann. Die erste LP folgte 1984. Etwas Popularität erlangte die Gruppe im Folgejahr auf ihrem zweiten Album A Dozen Dead Roses durch die Zusammenarbeit mit der New Yorker Underground-Legende Lydia Lunch. Es folgten weitere LPs die durch immer ungewöhnlichere Ideen gespickt waren. Ihr letztes Album More fand zu dem Zeitpunkt nicht mal mehr ein Label, das sich traute dieses zu veröffentlichen, so dass es 14 Jahre dauerte, bis es auf CD vertrieben werden konnte.

Is that a "The love you take is equal to the love you give" thing?
Don't nitpick the fit bit!

Yep.. Don't know why. I even went in and changed the time it sends them out. Just not working. I may just disable the whole news letter thing if this doesn't clear up.
The comment replies are working. It's those who who subscribed to the email notifications that's not working. People aren't getting emails when I post comic updates sometimes the day after, sometimes not at all.
I had that problem when I changed from Comicpress to Comiceasel. I was using the Jetpack subscriptions & it wouldn't send email new post notifications for "Comic" post types only blog posts. I changed to MailChimp & had no problems since.
I gave up on Jetpacks subscription a long time ago. I stopped sending notifications for no reason and I couldn't get it to work. That's why I started using Mail Chimp.
All you need to do is create an app that will sound off a slow clap with each step. If you can get him to jog, it's a standing O with cheers and all, chanting his name!

As women struggle with homelessness, Denver Archdiocese and city announce new women's shelter
150-bed Samaritan House Women's Shelter will offer emergency overnight stays, 30-day "decompression" program

PUBLISHED: October 17, 2016 at 2:20 pm | UPDATED: October 18, 2016 at 12:42 pm
Catholic Charities will open a new 150-bed homeless shelter in northeast Denver for single women next year, the charitable arm of the Archdiocese of Denver announced Monday.
Beds in the Samaritan House Women's Shelter will be available for emergency overnight stays and a new, 30-day transitional program meant to ease homeless women into the charity's more intensive, longer term assistance programs.
The two-story, 32,000-square-foot building at 6240 Smith Road was previously home to Frontier Airlines' administration offices and is a stone's throw from Denver Rescue Mission's administration and education building and The Crossing, a Mission-run transitional housing facility for men.
"We're seeing a significantly higher rate of failure for women trying to exit homelessness than men — more than double," Catholic Charities CEO Larry Smith said. "We're hoping this will increase the success of the program for single women."

Women are becoming homeless at a faster rate than any other group, and many of them are over the age of 55, said Denver Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila, who helped announce the new shelter along with Denver Mayor Michael Hancock.
Earlier this year, a Metro Denver Homeless Initiative point-in-time study counted 5,467 homeless individuals in the seven-county metro area, 38.6 percent of whom were women.
"The Catholic Church is committed to working with the city of Denver where we can to serve some of the most vulnerable among us, which includes homeless women," Aquila said.
Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Denver purchased a building at 6240 E. Smith Road in northeast Denver to build a 150-beds shelter for homeless women. They announced details of the plans at a press conference on Oct. 17, 2016.
The city of Denver provided $1 million in Community Development Block Grant funding to help purchase the building as part of the $5 million project.
"For us to solve this problem, every district needs to be part of this," said Denver Councilman Chris Herndon, who represents the area. "We have a lot of services downtown, but the entire city needs to make sure we're doing our part."
When the shelter opens in mid-2017, 100 of the beds will be for emergency overnight stays, with clients being bused from the downtown Samaritan House, where there are another 100 emergency beds for women, said Tom Wanzeck, Catholic Charities' vice president of operations.
The other 50 beds will be part of a new "decompression" program, where single women can stay for up to 30 days. After that, women could potentially move on to Samaritan House's four-month, extended-stay program, at which point they would be connected with employment and permanent housing services, Smith said.
The new building will also house the majority of Catholic Charities' administration staff, who will be moving from the nonprofit's building on Pecos Street. After its market value doubled in a matter of years, the building at 4045 Pecos St. has been sold, freeing up that capital to invest back into services, Wanzeck said.

Speaking from experience.. You can tow a lot more than the rating. When I moved to Colorado it pulled around 3000lbs in an enclosed trailer 1100 miles for 16 hours. And since then it's pulled closer to 4000lbs of concrete and wood around town.
My clock spring just went out. Luckily it is a recall on 09+ so the dealer will fix it for free.
Do the pads move freely inside the bracket or do you have to beat them in?
There aren't grade 8 metric bolts. There's class 8.8 and 10.9. Class 10.9 is closer to SAE grade 8.

My mistake, I thought the title said 2009. I'm not sure if the 2014 corolla transmission will work in gen 1.
I looked into this before. The highest gear ratio ends up being exactly the same. So you don't gain an overdrive. You just shift more. Get the 6 speed from a 2014 Corolla. That transmission will drop the RPMs a bit on the highway. It's also a direct bolt in.

Re: Oh no !!! Vibe cranks but not starting !!!
But a fuel pump will prime with ignition. You can always check fuel pressure to verify.
Definitely sounds internal if you are confident that that engine treatment affected the sound.
Secondly A cracked flex plate can be checked. There is no need to pull the transmission to check it.
I would just go back to the dodge dealer and have them process the warranty. You can ask them to show you the crack. It wouldn't be the worst idea to take a picture of it as proof.
To be clear a flex plate is thinner and allows a torque converter to me mounted to it. A flywheel has a thick friction surface similar to a brake rotor for the clutch disc to ride on.
Automatics have flex plates, manuals have flywheels. Every time, the manufacturer doesn't matter.
Totally normal. It's the EVAP system testing itself.
Way too high on the low side. High low side pressure is usually due to an overcharge. Overcharging also wrecks compressors so that would explain the low high side readings.
I agree with circuit smith. It sounds more like an issue with the pedal hydraulics than the clutch itself.
Another life saved by a Takata air bag.
It's just a grille. More for aesthetics than anything. Your best bet on finding one would the at the dealer or from a salvage yard.
