Our changing climate
Climate Change in a Nutshell
The Caribbean in a changing climate
Make the Pledge
The Reality of Climate Change.
The global mean temperature is rising at a rate that, if unmitigated, within the next 20 – 30 years will render our planet increasingly hostile to life as we know it. 99% of scientific research indicates that the warming temperatures are out of scale due to human activity like factory farming and the use of fossil fuels. A warming Earth disturbs weather, people and animals by raising sea levels, intensifying droughts, heat waves and winter storms, reducing crop growing areas, killing coral reefs and other critical species as well as creating ever increasing human and social impact. While some powerful governments question the realities of climate change or delay taking action due to special interests, island nations and other vulnerable populations of the world bear the ominous responsibility of dealing with some of it's most damaging effects. This is despite the fact that small nations, like those in the Caribbean, contribute so little to the green house gases which are at the root of climate change.
Our planet is increasingly experiencing dramatic climate and weather extremes. The recent hurricanes in the Caribbean, Central and North America are no exception. The clearly documented changes in the earths temperatures and rising sea levels create conditions that augment the intensity of hurricanes. Simply put, warmer oceans make stronger hurricanes and rising sea levels create much more damaging storm surge when they make landfall. This makes the human and environmental impact of naturally occurring hurricanes to be much more destructive.
The islands of the Caribbean may be among the most vulnerable places but this is a planetary challenge. Many countries of the world have taken steps in establishing policy and action to mitigate carbon emissions and other damaging activity. Major cities like New York, Miami and London are seeing the effects first hand and are implementing resiliency measures. However many of the largest carbon emitters on the planet (industrialized nations) are still slow or even regressive in enacting the measures needed to mitigate the effects. Much more action is needed to slow the growing impact of these man made effects on our planets delicate climate balance – from individual and community activity to national and global policy. Consider taking the pledge to learn and do more about climate change, there are many ways to take action whether that be through individual consumption choices or by holding your government representatives accountable to set effective policies and enact the needed laws.
Make a lasting difference in the Caribbean
Climate change basically describes a long-term change in Earth's weather patterns or climate. This change is now being recorded at an unprecedented rate. The global average temperature is now changing at a faster rate than it has in the past 1,000 years. The changes in climate are a result of the build-up of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This excessive build up is caused primarily by human activity like extracting and burning of fossil fuels, factory farming and processing of animal meat, deforestation and other activities.
Even a minimal rise in global temperatures can lead to wide spread effects on humans, animals and the environment. These effects have a significant impact on not only our way of life but our health, finances and the sustainability of life as we know it for future generations.
The climate is changing at an unprecedented rate throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.
This is directly related to human activity.
This kind of climate change is damaging, disruptive and unsustainable for human and animal populations as well as the environment.
We can make a difference. While the damage needed to cause significant future warming has already occurred, reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases can slow the effects. We can make personal choices about consumption and activity,
moreover we can keep our governments responsible in setting laws and policies in place to aggressively address these issues.

9 questions about climate change you were too embarrassed to ask- Vox
The Caribbean is exceptionally vulnerable to the effects of Climate Change. The geography of the islands renders entire populations exposed to rising sea levels as well as more frequent and severe drought and hurricanes. The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization has reported that climate change will lead to more frequent and severe droughts in the Caribbean region, already home to seven of the world's most water-stressed countries. The limitations of small economies make mitigation and recovery very challenging. Additionally in most of the islands the principal industries are Tourism and Agriculture, both of which can be halted by strong Hurricanes. For small island nations like those in the Caribbean the economic and non-economic damages and loss created by Climate Change are very real.
These small island nations face a very disproportionate share of the effects of climate change when considering that their contribution to greenhouse gasses are less than .01%. Despite limited capacity the islands are making efforts for adaption including rainwater harvesting, seawater desalinization, diversification of livelihoods, and improved emergency management.
The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Climate Change Centre has been established to plan the region's response to climate change subsequently increasing its resilience. It's policy is based on sustainable development,adaptation measures,reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing vunerabilities and promoting social, economic, and environmental benefits.

Action is needed. While many countries have taken steps in beginning to address carbon emissions and resilience there is so much more action needed to slow the damaging effects of climate change. Governments hold the power to make aggresive changes in policy and laws which can make the most significant difference. Many of the larger industrialized countries whose activities have played the biggest role in climate change have been slow or even regressive in taking effective action based on politics, economics and the bidding of special interests (i.e oil and gas industries).
We can make a difference by taking action. We can keep climate change in our discussions with each other and with our elected officials, our voices and our votes are the most powerful tools we have. We can also make personal choices by understanding and affecting our own carbon footprint – primarily our consumption of the products that are directly linked to climate change. The amount of fossil fuels, mass produced animal meat and products, water and energy we use all play a roll.
Speak up – let your elected officials know that you demand their focus on mitigating and preparing for the effects of climate change
Understand and calculate your own carbon footprint.
Eat the food you buy and make it less factory produced meat,poultry or fish
Choose to use renewable energy sources (wind, solar,geothermal, hydropower,biomass) and invest in energy efficiency
Reduce water waste
Choose to support the businesses and brands that are actively working toward improved energy efficiency, lower carbon emission and addressing the social and environmental implications of climate change
Practice Your Politics
Understand your own carbon footprint.
Choose to support the businesses and brands that are actively working toward improved energy efficiency, lower carbon emission and addressing the social implications of climate change
Make the Pledge.
To help these islands recover one of the most important things you can give is your long term attention. Take the pledge to stay informed about the recovery and needs of these special places. Any help now or in the future can make a difference. Also consider promising to visit the Caribbean soon. These islands all depend on Tourism to survive. You can even simply pledge to learn more and do more about Climate Change, that helps us all. Take the pledge, share it with your friends and make a lasting difference.

Cargo tool gets funding from AI firm
by Today's Trucking
MONTREAL, Que. — Logistics and transportation cluster CargoM and the Montreal Port Authority have received $500,000 to develop a tool for the rapid distribution of essential goods amid the war on Covid-19.
The solution enables the prioritization of critical cargo arriving by container at the Port of Montreal.
The funding comes from Scale AI, the artificial intelligence supercluster, which recently called for solutions that can help Canada meet the challenges posed by the pandemic.
More than 120 projects were submitted in just three weeks. Eight of them, including the cargo solution, have been approved. The companies will receive $3.4 million in funding from Scale AI.
"With a data management and processing system already well established, we are able to rapidly deploy additional solutions that can optimize the process of unloading and reduce container dwell times to less than 12 hours for critical cargo," said Daniel Dagenais, vice-president operations at the Montreal Port Authority.
Mathieu Charbonneau, executive director of CargoM said the project highlights both the collaboration between supply-chain actors and Montreal's strengths in artificial intelligence.
The logistics and transportation industry in Greater Montreal accounts for 120,000 jobs, 6,000 businesses and over $4.3 billion in economic benefits for the city.
Scale AI is an investment and innovation hub that accelerates the rapid adoption and integration of artificial intelligence. It is one of Canada's five innovation superclusters.

I think I was shocked the first time I learned that not everyone loves chocolate-covered cherries as much as I do. To me, they just are the ultimate flavor--the tart burst of cherry, almond-like liqueur, and rich dark chocolate all around it.
But for some reason there are people who are just not fans. And you know what I say to that?
This past weekend, Eugene and I drove to my parents' house in New Jersey to celebrate their anniversary with a casual bbq in their backyard. My dad asked me to bring some baked goods, so I decided to play around with those cherry and chocolate flavors that I love, and made this cake.
The combination of rich dark chocolate cake with a layer of fresh cherries baked right in is absolutely perfect! Pure almond extract added to the batter plays up those "cherry liqueur" notes. If you love chocolate-covered cherry candies, you will ADORE this cake.
A few things to note about the cake. This calls for Dutched cocoa, which is different than regular cocoa as it has been alkalized. It also has a richer almost Oreo-cookie-like flavor. Definitely don't skip it!
The cherries in this cake are fresh cherries. You want something like Bing cherries. Please do NOT use candied or jarred cherries--those will be way too sweet. It's all about that combo of tart and sweet here.
In base of electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add the egg and beat additional 3 minutes. Add the yogurt, vanilla, and almond.
Balance a mesh sieve over the bowl with the wet ingredients and pour in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sift dry ingredients into the chocolate base, and then stir until completely incorporated.
Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading out evenly. Top with cherries (it's ok if they layer on top of each other--they will sink during baking).
Bake about 65 minutes or until a tester inserted in center comes out clean.
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing sides and transferring to a rack to cool completely.

The effect of classroom instruction on students' reading achievement in English
Aqeel, KA 1989, The effect of classroom instruction on students' reading achievement in English , PhD thesis, University of Salford.
Restricted to Repository staff only until 31 July 2022.
The present study investigates the differential effects of two instructional methods for teaching English as a foreign language on student classroom interaction and reading achievement. Two groups of Arab students enroled in the English language studies course in the United Arab Emirates University were randomly assigned to one of two instructional techniques; a content English method (CE) and a general English method (6E). Students were observed in their classrooms using interactional analysis data collection procedures and measurement. In addition, students were given pre and post reading achievement test, as well as an exposure self-report questionnaire to evaluate the effect exposure to the target language may have on classroom interaction and reading achievement. The results of the study showed that the content English groups had more initiating interactions than did the general English groups, and also had more responding interactions than did the general English groups. That is, the content English groups interacted more in the classroom and had a higher final reading achievement score than did the general English groups. Exposure, however, was not found to interact with reading achievement or with interaction in the classroom. Exposure rates for both groups of students were about the same. Other significant results were obtained when comparing male and female students in the two instructional groups. These results, as well as a detailed analysis of the results of the questionnaire are discussed. Suggestions for further research and the implications of the study are also presented.

I am 41 years old and I have been married for 2 years. Though I was married before to my first husband who past on 8 years ago. We were very much in-love and were married for 5 years before his life was cut short in a car accident. I met my current husband at a work's function 3 years ago and we started to court and eventually dated then got married. I had been lonely for many years so when this charming man came into my life I embraced him with open arms with no hesitation.
So you found love again?
I don't know what I found, our first year and a few months were exciting but I would always compare him to my late husband. I was swept off my feet but the question I ask myself was if I was trying to replace my husband, of late memories of my past have started to affect my current marriage. At times I lock myself in a room at work and at home and cry over and over trying to make sense of my erratic feelings. I don't want to forget my late husband and at the same time I owe it to my current husband to give him all my attention and love.
From what I'm hearing you never really had any form of closure with your late passing away the way he did. It can't be easy to lose a loved one 'a husband' and to move on but you must consider the negative effects on your current husband. If he hasn't notice already he will soon and he may not be willing to understand that you still mourn your late. Has your husband done anything to trigger memories of your past life?
I don't know if I am asking for a lot but my husband is never home as often as I would like him to be. He and my late are very different. My husband loves his social life and before we got wed we promised each other that we wouldn't try and change each other but seeing him for the few hours I see him over the week and weekend is not enough for me. We both work and sometimes till late however my husband will pass through the local before coming home which is normally between 8pm and 10pm. When he gets home we hardly have time to catch up before we head to bed. We are not having a marriage but an existence, that's my sentiment. How do I change his ways despite our promise to each other?
What you are saying is in comparison to your late your current is not as committed to paying you attention as you were once used to and that you haven't voiced your concern regarding your quality time as man and wife?
I feel short changed, he knows what I went through when my first husband died, always contemplating whether I will ever get married again and if I will ever find a man who cares and loves me the way I was once loved. It's hard and I fear to fail in this relationship.
Do you have kids from your first marriage and are you in-love right now?
Unfortunately we never got the chance to start a family, something I regret every day. I would have loved to have a piece of him but that was not meant to be. I'm I in-love? Well, I want to be so badly but my husband's behavior and priorities make me wonder if I made a mistake remarrying. Oh, I forgot to mention that my husband is 4 years my junior while my late was 6 years my senior. Is my husband's maturity one of my issues? I just don't know where I'm heading.
You need to be strong and objective and irrespective of some promise to each other you need to confront the issues you have with your husband. Marriage without partnership, team work and a strong connection is no marriage but a state of convenience. You need to rationally address the issue one by one, once he is aware of your concerns give him space to digest the information and be patient with him. Also voice out your expectations without demanding for them, if your man genuinely cares about you he will put things into motion and in time you should witness a positive change within your home.

Paid Surveys at home! Is is safe or Scam?
Recently i have visited many surveys site so that i can start working at home and earn some money.. but my friends told me that most of them are scams and just wasted peoples times..
Or its just another time wasted survey site with zero profit :judges:..
These days, people are looking for some of the most effective ways to make quick and solid income online. It's the online world that too seems to be more responsive in this regard and offering people more and more lucrative opportunities to make money online. If you are also looking for the same sort of response form the online world, then its time to opt for the paid surveys at home review. This has managed to develop like a sheer trend, which is offering enough benefits for people across the globe. Well, you cannot take it as a regular income source or you may not take it as a constant income source, but certainly paid surveys are becoming the most effective method for people who want to make some genuine income for their account and at the same time they want to draw an additional income source that will offer a strong back up for their financial planning:rryumy: If you want to grab such opportunity with full hand, then its time to opt for the online world and start looking for the paid surveys at home reviews. These paid surveys at home reviews are the best methods to draw more idea about how the whole system use to work and how people can make more money through it. When you want to attend paid surveys right at the comfort of your home you need to have certain things ready beforehand. First of all you need to have a PC that is connected to the Internet. There is always an age limit for the people who want to join such programs. If you are aging 18 or more than that, then you will draw the eligibility to join these paid surveys. In order to perform better in this field and to make more money online, you need to know the procedures that are essential for this sort of business.
Now this has been termed as a big business on the Internet as thousands of surveys have been announced on the Internet on a regular basis. Large companies seems to be more inclined about taking their consumer's view about the offering of different services and products. Due to such reason big companies are even hiring market researchers to find out the genuine responses from the customers. Such approach from the big companies is exactly offering a great chance for the announcement of paid surveys online.
Executive Janitorial is a nothing but a lousy low balling janitorial cleaning services company in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />San Luis Obispo scamming their customers and new customers with this scam we've the best cleaning in town, total hock of garage. All they do is they low ball all the competition by bidding so low impossible to profit when already their employees are questionable on poor low wages as they say they hire people with I9 visa's but really why do they hire a majority of women from Mexico(many with poor English speaking skills)? I mean are these the only kind of women will do this kind or work for these kind of wages or work where they can't get caught by US Immigrations Customs Enforcement?
Why do they not hire normal Caucasian people or a mixture of people than one culture? Really why would they hire only Hispanic employees because the owners are not Hispanic they are Caucasian? This is the kind of work that Americans will do as janitorial is not like picking fruits & vegetables. Yet hiring only people with I9 visa's when if you have a legal US I9 visa you can get a better paying job elsewhere as Executive Janitorial pays the lowest wages in town and no health insurance why work for them. Which means if companies don't pay health insurance employees won't make enough to get insurance on their own then they're going to use the free health care social system with no insurance at all and make taxpayers pay their health care because they bid so low. Which means taxpayers have to support these scam janitorial companies like this to be in business because they do not provide health insurance to their employees which is a burden to society. All Executive Janitorial wants is to think about using their employees to work for lousy wages to get work by fooling customers their work is the best when it is not. They are using cheap dishonest labor to do their work for them to fool people about their cleaning as their cleaning is completely crap.
Take a look at their work it is horribly bad, talk about crappy cleaning to see their work and especially in a recession economy as more people are giving this company business and they say nothing even if the customer has some suspicion their employees may or may not be legal to work in this country they hire them anyways because they are so cheap why say no to cheap questionable janitorial cleaning as the US Customs Enforcement is so tabbed out to deport illegal immigrant janitorial people in this country. When you see how bad their office accounts look how they clean for their current customers it is a complete joke. It is just crap janitorial cleaning but with the work so cheap they really only do the work so quickly versing their competition trying to say that even more expensive janitorial companies misleading them saying they can do better than them is the biggest crap about Executive Janitorial. They say in their commercials no job is too big or too small they will take on but they take on too much work forgetting the customers they already have a responsibly to keep up the cleaning for their current customers as people fire them because they cannot kept up with the current work. When you have over 30 vehicles and over 400 cleaning customer clients and 60 employees with work that pays hardly anything to their labor because they bid so low their work reflects that poor quality, horrible cleaning.
If you see their work it looks like their employee's clean bathrooms so fast it looks like they are cleaned with broomsticks instead of mops (as the grout between the tiles is so pot black from dirty mops over and over again) and carpets full of spots, staples left on them and more. You see urine in men's bathrooms allover the urinal stools because they don't wipe bathroom walls enough and finger prints and bathroom door knobs as they don't look sensitized which between the dirty floors and un-sanitized bathrooms you can imagine the germs roaming all through the office with customers walking on urine infested bathroom floors going through the whole office on to the carpets caked with germs because they clean the bathrooms horribly. To say they use Spartan Clean by Proxy they use for green cleaning, maybe green but it doesn't mean it sanitizes everything, it is a concentrate that is a limited cleaner but it is not the only thing to use on everything especially for germs. The fact is not all green products are strong enough versing industrial strength chemical products even though Proxy is an industrial product it is really just hydrogen peroxide nothing more. You cannot use it on desks, doors, restroom floor or kitchens completely to kill all germs even in its concentrate formula as products need amounts of time to be on the surface to kill germs before wiping off the solution away but the way Executive Janitorial cleans they are not applying enough effort to clean their customers offices they we they look. Imagine using one rag to clean from toilet to the sinks after and do the next bathrooms and then using the same rag on desks and more, think that sounds dirty well that's common for people to do that. Quality companies use one form stages, paper instead of reused rags you clean one thing and throw it out; it is a big difference in killing germs but cleaning companies that bid so low will cut all corners they can after hours even using one rag through entire office and dollar store products that don't clean well.
Then to say they only use triple HEPA filters well how can they afford it, HEPA filters have to be changed every 3 to 4 months and they cost over $35 to $55 a piece as after 3 to 4 months HEPA filters are worthless as they are not reusable and HEPA filter decrease the suction and worse when they are not charged regularly. All they use is these so called Pro team backpack vacuums, they are worthless for serious corning vacuum as they are impossible to get on your hands and knees under desks and etc. These vacuums have no rollerblades that are needed to pick up serious dirt as only using backpack canister vacuums does not get everything up but hey that's all they use. Which upright vacuums on the job they still have there place to pickup dirt in the cleaning industry where backpack canister vacuums can't do everything; they are all about the quick cutting corners cleaning which is all Executive Janitorial does it half assed work.
The cleaning industry has become heavily Hispanic over the last 12 to 15 years because of the growth of illegal immigration coming into the United States illegally daily and as the demand for cheap labor which janitorial companies continue hire illegal aliens because these companies are unsupervised by US Customs Enforcement or even their own customers as this is a mostly after hours in secret business as these companies continue to grow so is the demand for low balling cheap labor janitorial companies throughout California; which is throwing out the rate of inflation on cleaning companies but to deflation because of the competition keeps getting cheaper and cheaper where customers are seeing prices going down and down thinking they can push cheaper cleaning companies over each other. US ICE or US Customs Enforcement has admitted in 2010 that of the entire illegal immigrant population in the United States 17% to 20% are in the cleaning industry so in California there is much as 500,000 illegal immigrants working for janitorial companies to carpet cleaning companies to housecleaning companies and many illegal run and mom & pop cleaning companies allover *****s List because in California those illegal immigrants spread to every town and city able to find every work in janitorial cleaning companies because they need the cheap labor to compete against honest legal janitorial companies that charge more because they are legally in business paying their dues, higher wages, taxes and etc. sad thing is you can be an illegal immigrant and start your own business, just use an fake photo id card or any photo id then head to city hall to pay for your business license then you get you carbon form to give to the bank which banks don't always need id either to open a business account and newspapers run their fictitious business ads for them, no problem their in business. See the corruption?
Even if they may or not have questionable immigrants working for Executive Janitorial their work does not reflect quality at all, even new buildings are no excuse to look clean it is the point of the quality and they are lying to their customers and competition they can do all this which they can't because they cannot afford to spend time on work they have bid so low to do. The average time to clean is about 4000 sq ft per hour per person, better is 2500 or less per hour but what happens when low balling companies bid to see they are going to do all this work but they clean 8000 sq ft or 10,000 an hour per employee unless the office empty which is not the case. The faster you clean lying to your customers is hour they profit with the low low wages they pay to the employees.
Executive Janitorial is serving in San Luis Obispo all the way through Santa Maria with this cheap horrible cleaning business trying to kill the industry that was once an honest business to be in they are making it look bad as it gets, corrupted cleaning companies.
I would never hire this company because as much as they get work they also lose a lot of their work at the same time as their record of complaints is on going to see people complaining about them all the time. If they employees are legal then see every one of there papers then and send those immigration papers to US Immigrations to verify they are legal as I9's are a lot of times counterfeit since getting an I9 visa are expensive they often expire making people get counterfeit visa's. Customers caution and do always hire the cheapest cleaning companies as there is just too much corruption in the cleaning industry until Congress does something to stop these illegal run companies.

A friend of mine was recently approached by a man in her neighboorhood who says he has a lot of money and needs a tax write off. He told her that he wants to gift her by remodeling her house, building a new building where her current business is located and wants to help her expand by purchasing 1/2 of the block in her neighboorhood. My gut tells me this is REALLY wrong, but I need some proof to take to her. I have limited information on this man. His name is Larry Patterson and when asked about who is writing the checks for this GIFT, he says he is using a company called Vision Capitol Group. She has not signed anything yet, but he has asked her to get quotes from several different contractors. I'm not really sure what to do to help her. Has anyone else been scammed by this approach?
In December 2007, our Shell gas station (75Ave & Thomas Phoenix AZ) was refinanced by M & I Bank. We had met a business banker through our CPA who said he could get us a good loan at a low interest rate. We were ushered in for a 15minutes presentation and recommended a Swap Loan. At the signing of this loan an amortization schedule was given to us which showed how the payments would apply to the interest and principal.
There are two parts to a Swap Loan which I have come to understand now. The swap part would be removed automatic funds from our checking account which was also with M & I Bank. This was a fraudulent loan and according to M & I was not inputted incorrectly with higher interest rate, less principal, sometimes the payments were as high as $21,000. There were to be equal amount of $16k payments every month. The business banker had also opened a line of credit for us and failed to mention that it was only for a year. The line of credit was used by MI Bank to cover their swap.
From mid 2008, due to unequal payments of the loan and the swap hitting our business checking account which amounted anywhere from $3000 to $6500 and separate loan payments, high fees amounting from $6 to $3500.00 the account was beginning to suffer due to this huge burden. Every morning a business banker, Mr. Jim Laine would inform us to cover the overdrafts. He had an understanding with us that he would look after the account personally.
I approached Mr. Jim Laine and asked him to please look at our accounts and to put a hold on the automatic removal of the swap but he refused and gave us a number of approx. $28,000 as penalty for cancelling the swap (later M & I sold the swap and charged us $145,000 in penalty). We approached him again and said that he should check the Swap note as it seems that something is wrong with it. Attached is an email in which he accepts that the loan is inputted incorrectly.
refund the fees and give us a new note. Instead, Mr. Jim Laine and Mr. Ed Hines (his boss) in December 2008 wanted us to sign a Bridge loan(temporary) for $65, 000, the excuse was it was the end of the year and they wanted to clear their books. At this meeting, this loan was verbally promised by both of them that the fees of $30,000 would be refunded and our loan would be brought up to date and our business account would be cleared by March 30 2009.
In March 2009, the bridge loan expired and nothing was credited to our account. Once again I approached Mr. Jim Laine that we need to refund fees and over payments and I want to cover the overdrafts with the refunded fees. To my surprise he informed me that no such promise was ever made to us and that he did not recall the conversation. At this point, I asked him if he was going to correct the note, he informed me that it was out of his hands and he was no longer our business banker. I was then introduced to Mr. Eric Anderes from their head office in Phoenix. I explained to him that all the overdrafts and extra payments (loan) were incurred every day and he needed to correct these problems. Mr. Eric Anderes refused to continue communication with us. We then approached an attorney friend and asked him to study our loan and have it corrected by M & I bank. Mr. Eric Anders sent forbearance to him which had wrong amounts as credits (THE FORBEARANCE ACCEPTED THAT THE LOAN WAS INPUTTED INCORRECTLY). Our attorney friend informed us that we should approach Mr. Eric Anderes directly to correct these numbers but it was too late.
Mr. ERIC ANDRES HAD ALREADY STARTED A TRUST DEED SALE ON OUR GAS STATION.
HE WAS DISCRIMINATING AND INTIMIDATING US INTO SIGNING THIS FORBEARANCE OR ELSE WE LOOSE THIS BUSINESS.
This forbearance had another clause that if we were to pay our property taxes by February 2010, he would cancel the trustee sale. We paid our taxes and requested him to remove us out of the trustee sale.
At this point he told me (after cancelling the trustee deed sale) that M & I Bank wanted to sever their relationship with us and that we should quickly refinance our business or sell it in 3 months.
We approached Wells Fargo Bank who agreed to refinance us and we have proof of communication via email and phone between the two banks. Mr. Eric Anderes was delighted at the quick progress of Wells Fargo Bank.
We informed Mr. Eric Anderes; our neighbor TRADECOR owned properties on both sides was interested in our property and was offering $1.2million. Mr. Perry Mann (Tradecor) threatened us that he will find a way to purchase our property at $1.25M as He WANTED TO DEMOLISH THE GAS STATION AND BUILD THREE RESTAURANTS.
Our property and business had an appraisal 2 years back for $4.2M and, we were very interested in refinancing (as per Eric Anders's order) and not loose our business as this is our only livelihood of 4 family members. We had put in lot of hard work for 5years and informed Mr. Eric Anderes that we were trying everything in our power to refinance the station and not interested in selling to a commercial developer for 1.2Million.
To our surprise Mr. Eric Anderes sent us via email another forbearance which stated that WE HAD ONLY 3 MONTHS TO REFINANCE AND AN UNBELIEVABLE CLAUSE THAT THE BANK COULD DO WHATEVER THEY FELT FIT WITH OUR PROPERTY. We pleaded with him that our refinancing was almost done and to be patient and let it go through.
To kill the deal, Mr. Eric Anders sent a $2.2m payoff statement to Wells Fargo Bank knowing very well that the SBA 7A loan which Well Fargo was working on was at $2 M. He purposely killed the financing with Wells Fargo bank. Mr. Eric Anderes then sold our note at $1.25 million to Mr. Perry Mann of Tradecor in April 2010. Once again, our business was in trust deed sale.
M & I Bank has done great injustice to us. Mr. Eric telephonically informed us that the offer was too low and we should continue our refinancing with Wells Fargo. They stopped our refinancing from going through and sold the note at a deep discount to Mr. Perry Mann.
The question is why he did not discount the note for us? This was discrimination on the part of Mr. Anderes or did Mr. Eric Anders accept bribe???
We then tried to work with Mr. Perry Mann owner of TRADECOR but he refuses to take any offers. We had our refinancing in place but he refused to give us any payoff numbers. Our mortgage broker and lawyer spoke to him everyday until one day before the filing for chapter 11(bankruptcy filed to stop trust deed) but he would not cooperate with us. Mr. Perry Mann has filed a personal lawsuit against us too claiming the late fees($150,000) and false amounts on the forbearance's which Mr.Anderes would forcibly make us sign under duress. Mr. Perry Mann has already approached commercial brokers who are trying to sell the property we still own.
We would like to refinance and stop Tradecor from putting us on the streets. We have no other income or means of getting employment. My husband is 63 years old and I am 55 years of age. We have 2 sons 18 and 25 who work with us full time. We would like the opportunity to continue our business and not be taken advantage by hungry greedy individuals like Mr. Perry Mann. Mr. Perry Mann along with Mr. Eric Anderes cooperation is putting good people out of their livelihood.
In trying to resolve our problems with M & I Bank, Mr. Eric Anderes chose to sever his bank's relationship with us by putting us on the streets.
for their own revenge or accept bribes.
Tradecor has tried every way to extort money from us. The original note was never corrected by M & I Bank.
Adding to our distress, couple of days before the creditors meeting in the bankruptcy court, my husband Haresh was severely beaten by a gang outside our store and threatened him to leave this location or there will be more beatings.
I still had courage to take my husband in a wheelchair to attend the creditors meeting in the bankruptcy court. This meeting was very humiliating for us when Tradecor's attorney in a discriminatory tone asked us my husband and I could read and speak English.
The question is who is responsible for pushing us out of our location as it is very prime land?
Please help us and investigate this conspiracy. We have invested our life savings in buying this business and due to no fault of ours we are being thrown on the streets. We are receiving threatening & abusing phone calls from "unknown" telephone numbers, to vacate this property. We also getting calls from a commercial broker by the name of Jeff Pavone asking us to hand over our business to Mr. Perry Mann (owner of TradeCor Desert Sky II) My husband has almost no vision from his right eye after the beating, but we will continue to fight this battle until our last breath. I have also attached the pictures of my 63years husband after the beatings.
Please i will like personal reviews on this site to know if it is a scam or not,i have checked them out on rippoff only one complainant.Their website looks awful but they caught my attention because of what they are offering so please your personal reviews will help me in my decision either to join this company or not.
A year ago, AMEX Publishing offered me a free diary and datebook. What was not very clear was that they would send more in the future and bill me. I received the books this year in a package without any invoice and wasn't aware that they had charged me over $50 until I received my AMEX statement. I called AMEX Publishing and they said that they wouldn't refund me the money but would send a $25 gift card. After I told them that I thought this was a scam and was about to close my AMEX account, they told me that they would credit the charge. There's much in the mail from AMEX Publishing now that is identical to the old Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes offers. I'd deal very carefully with any offers from American Express Publishing.
Listen folks, anyone who has heard of this company should reply to this post. It seems like they're lots of people out there who have been scammed by these con artists.
Here's the way they operate. They send a bunch of young people (high schoolers or college students) around the neighborhood knocking on doors. They ask people to help them out to win a contest under the guise that they are from the local school or college in the area. The more points you sign up for, the better their chance of winning their contest. But, in order for this to work, they need your payment information either by cash or check. Once they have that, they give or don't give you a receipt with the name: South Coast Circulation Inc. Lots of people have fallen for this and lost a lot of money.
The reason why I'm posting is because I almost got scammed by these people. Fortunately, I'm a business major and I picked up on these tricky sales techniques. The people they send are either high school dropout or criminals looking to invade your home. Fortunately, I threw the mother ing pothead out of my house and made it a mission to help people know the truth about these fraudsters. If you ever come across these folks, ban them from the house or call the cops. They're not licensed to do this at all.
Applied for job from them (I think) as a "content specialist." Got mechanized return email telling me to go to their site where I chose "words" best suited to my personality. THEN, the request for credit info from creditreport.com. I smelled a rat. Researched their address 3810 N Broad Street which I know is outside of town and the "address" is assessed at only $250,000 and it's listed as "vacant land!" No other info on BMV staffing of significance. With this said, I said goodbye:judges: to BMV.info and encourage you not even to say hello.
Has anyone ever worked for this company? Basically they sell Kirby vacuums.
I went into the start of a three day training period today and while it did seem somewhat promising, it also felt a little overwhelming. The girl who did the training (Della) was very nice and seemed managed to know all of our names right off the bat.
I think I might be in over my head but I'm willing to at least try even though I'm not really a salesperson. I just don't want to waste my time. They said you'll get paid $400 per week whether you sell anything or not but I'm still kinda skeptical.
I've heard that a lot of people have had negative experiences with similar companies and I don't want to go through the same thing.
Any thoughts from previous employees of this company or those who may know someone who is or pretty much anyone with any advice for me.
On one hand, I don't want to waste my time but at the same time I don't want to give up at the slightest sign of a challenge. I've done that far too much in the past and have nothing to show for it.
Has anybody had any dealings with Tech Gold Plus, LLC?
What a bad acquisition... Purchase a company that is full of bad management, terrible business practices, and a truck full of employees that are only getting by with their GED and sexual harrassment.
I wanted to pass along my experience with American Express both in the hopes that others will not have the same problem I have had, and that current AmEx customers will be informed of the type of company they are doing business with.
I was issued a $150.00 American Express Prepaid Gift card from my company in March of 2010. I proceeded to put it in my wallet and wait to spend it on something fun sometime later in the year. I was in no particular rush to use the card as under the Credit CARD Act of 2009 gift cards must have at least a 5 year expiration date; and in my state, Minnesota, gift cards may not have expiration dates at all.
Last Friday, approximately seven months from the date I was issued the card, I found the perfect item. When I attempted to pay for it with my gift card I was informed that it had expired. Upon arriving at home and calling American Express I was told that it had in fact expired, there was no way to replace the card, and the $150 on the card was forfeit. I next contacted my HR department and found that they were also unable to reissue the card, and that in fact our company had been charged the $150 for the card (it did not go back into a pool to be re-used).
I next did a bit of research into Minnesota law and the new CARD act. Got all the information regarding when cards can expire, etc and again called American Express. This time they assured me they have looked into the issue of gift card rules very closely and to circumvent these rules they specifically issue "rewards" cards. It seems rewards cards are not covered by the same rules as every other gift card out there and they are thus able to issue the cards with expiration dates, and upon reaching the expiration date they are legally able to basically steal your money.
I informed the call center representative that a program specifically set up to circumvent rules in order to essentially steal money from unsuspecting customer's was disreputable and unconscionable and that I would immediately ensure that all American Express cards in my family were canceled. I am personally unwilling to patronize a company that has this type of practice. I invite you to do the same. If companies find it costs them more in customer loyalty than they make on this type of behavior maybe it will curb these types of scams in the future.
As some amount of condolence I have learned that my company has dropped this American Express scam with the end of 2011 and will be using a new form of rewards in 2011 – without expiration dates.
I would love to hear you experiences with American Express. Thanks!
we had Purchased melamine from Shanghai bailion Chemicals Co LTD as they said us that they are the manufacturer of melamine and other Organic Chemicals.
we have Purchased from them about 60 tons total Cost is USD 80,100/-but they had did scam with us and shipped to us Sodium carbonate Insted of what we agreed with them.
We really want to inform you that this company use diffrent names to deal with the diffrent customer and they donot have any manufacturing plant. I had visited them and their was only 1 person in the Office with 20 computer which they use for diffrent companies.
Please keep away from this Company as they have 2 website and they donnot have any manufacturing plant or any other source.
please keep you save we had losed 80100 USd from this scam and hopefull now to save other companies.

Q: On linux is there any tool can compare 2 flolders and produce a patch file? A,B,C file in directory /opt/src
D,E,A file in dircory /opt/dest
compare src and dest, figure out should add B,C to dest and delete D,E, and see if A is changed
and give A a binary patch or just to overwrite it.
all this operation pack in a patch file,including the changed and the missed file content, I can copy this file to another machine to execute.
I know it's simple to write some program to do this, but I don't want invent the wheel again
rsync seems meet most of my needs but don't know how to make a patch.
Thanks

A: old way: diff -uNr /opt/src /opt/dest > /tmp/src.patch
there are programs that automate the process, such as makepatch.

A: The program diff with the option -r
diff [-c| -e| -f| -C n][-br] file1 file2

[...]

-r
  Apply diff recursively to files and directories
  of the same name when file1 and file2 are both
  directories.

Invoice discounting is now used extensively by new and growing businesses to provide working capital.
In simple terms, invoice discounting or factoring is a loan secured against your sales invoices.
Each time you raise an invoice for finished goods or services you can draw a cash advance to finance the day to day running of your business.
Let's say that you invoice £50,000 of finished goods each month and your customers take 90 days to pay.
The sum owed to you as accounts receivable would stand at £150,000 at the end of the period.
By using Invoice Discounting you could draw up to £45,000 each month, providing you with £135,000 of additional cash to pay your suppliers and meet the overheads of your business.
Who handles the Credit Control?
The size and complexity of your business will usually determine who has responsibility for credit control. If your business operates its own accounting system and has an effective credit control function then it could be left to you.
For other businesses, a fully outsourced credit control function is provided to ensure that your invoices are paid on time.
Who is responsible for Bad Debts?
As part of the set up process we would carry out a credit review to assess the risks associated with offering credit to your customers.
Bad debt protection policies can be taken out to cover prolonged default and customer insolvency.
What if my Customers are Abroad?
Contact us today for an informal discussion or complete the following contact form and we will call you.


In the large Chapter 04 text, there was a scene with many new characters. Dawson didn't know most of their names so they were given ambiguous names like, White Fedora, Bone Necklace, and other clothing items he noticed about them. This scene had to be revised manually, one paragraph at a time, in addition, a couple of the characters slated to reappear in Charged were mentioned, one by his street name. His description was also changed to match future appearances.


The data for 2015 to 2017, adjusted for price and calendar effects, is based on information and estimates available as of February 2018.
Global economic growth picked up perceptibly in 2017. Virtually all the major economies contributed to this, with the exception of Great Britain. One of the main reasons was the improvement in world trade, taking the form of higher net exports – in China especially, but also in Germany. The Eurozone benefited from the strongest economic upturn in the last ten years. In many countries, though, partly because of the rise in energy prices, inflation was higher than in previous years – curbing growth in real incomes. Even so, widespread positive developments on the labor market kept growth in private consumption at a stable level. Pro-European election results in Europe decreased uncertainty, contributing to growth in investments in the second half of the year.


For the last five years, one of the constant factors in informing us about new builds of Windows has been BuildFeed. The service, developed by Tom Hounsell, has delivered thousands of build numbers and build strings.
But now, BuildFeed is shutting down, and it's pretty clear that Hounsell doesn't have much of a choice. In fact, yesterday was a pretty interesting day for the service, which can be found on Twitter under @BuildFeed. A build string showed up for a version of Windows 10 that's aimed at foldable devices, and shortly after that, there was a tweet from the account addressing some apparent concerns with the leak.
Following that, a bunch more builds showed up with strange build strings, such as rs_onecore_sigma_media, rs_es_infra_red, rs_xbox_dev_flight_neptune, and a bunch more. In the notice that BuildFeed is shutting down, which is right on the site's homepage, Hounsell notes that these all came from a Microsoft employee that posted them. He also noted that Microsoft is most certainly one of the pressures that led to the service shutting down.
But there's good news. While Hounsell will no longer be hosting BuildFeed, the whole thing is open source on GitLab, so it would seem that another project could take its place. The database has also been made available, placed in a JSON file.
Is there an alternative site that can also provide the latest build numbers?


WILLEMSTAD - Kingdom Minister of Foreign Affairs Stef Blok wants the European Union to be more active in the 'Venezuela case'. The minister has argued for this during a meeting with his EU colleagues.
Today he will report in writing to the Second Chamber of the Dutch Parliament of the informal Foreign Affairs Council held in Vienna on August 30 and 31. According to Blok, several ministers, including the Dutch, called attention to the situation in Venezuela and the (possible) consequences for the countries (including the Kingdom parts) in the region.
They asked for a larger European effort in both the humanitarian and political fields," the minister writes, noting how the other member states reacted.

A Quick Guide to Lighting Your Bike
A Quick Guide to Lighting Up Your Bike
Want to be safe on your bicycle? Be seen. We ask a bike shop owner for some tips about the best ways to illuminate your ride, whether you're biking a mountain or commuting to work.
By Robert Annis Published: Oct 3, 2013
If you use your bike to commute to work in the late fall and winter, lights are essential. Light-emitting diodes, better known as LEDs, have made riding at night more accessible for virtually every rider. The advantages of LED lights over comparable halogen lights—including less energy consumption, longer lifetime, smaller size, and relatively low cost—make them the perfect option for cyclists craving more time in the saddle.
"You want to be seen, to put out a light bigger than you are," says Scott Irons, owner of acclaimed local bike shop Indy Cycle Specialist in Indianapolis. "I remember riding home from work one December night on a fairly narrow road. I had a 1700-lumen light on my bike, and it was so bright, a car in the other direction pulled over thinking I was a motorcycle or another car. You can never have too much light."
LEDs are typically rated by lumens, or how much light is streaming through an area per second. The more lumens, the more light is produced. Less-powerful bike LEDs are typically one-piece lights that recharge via USB cord. More powerful lights, say 800 lumens or higher, often have an external lithium-ion battery that can be strapped to your bike's top tube or slipped into a jersey pocket. It's also a good idea to have a flashing rear safety light on the back of your bike or in your jersey's back pocket.
For riders who don't commute but may occasionally get caught on the road as the sun is setting, small, lightweight LED lights housed in a silicone shell are a great option that take up just a little bit of room on your handlebars and won't weigh down your steed. Commuters traveling on well-lit city streets can typically get away with a 100- or 200-lumen LED light, Irons says, while mountain bikers need at least 1000 lumens. The smaller lights provide approximately an hour of light per charge, which is typically enough for most commuters, while the more powerful lights can last up to 4 hours on a single charge and much longer on a lower setting.
Irons suggests a two-light approach for mountain bikers: a primary light on the helmet and a second light attached to the handlebars. "You want to see as far ahead of you as you can on the trail," he explains. "I've seen rattlesnakes out on the trail at night. When do you want to see it? Sixty feet ahead of you, or ten? You don't want to outrun your light."
One pro tip: Irons runs the same LED lights on his helmet and handlebars, with the helmet light on the high setting and the bar-mounted light on medium. Because the two lights are compatible, he can switch batteries if his helmet light runs out of juice.
For years, the rule of thumb for incandescent halogen bicycle lights was $1 per lumen, but LEDs typically cost less than one-third of that today. Three of the most reputable manufacturers are Light & Motion, NiteRider, and Serfas, the latter of which Iron says offers "the most bang for your buck."

Neatline errors with Omeka 2.5
JH0we February 7, 2017, 3:03am #1
I am also coming across this error - through Reclaim, Omeka is at 2.5 (updated 02/03/17) and Neatline is up-to-date at 2.5.1. I mention NeatLine because it says here:
Strict Standards: Declaration of NeatlineRecord::save() should be compatible with Neatline_Row_Expandable::save($throwIfInvalid = false) in /home/ajblandf/public_html/turning-to-stone/plugins/Neatline/models/NeatlineRecord.php on line 11
In addition, I can't save any new neatline records.
This doesn't work:
http://ajblandford.info/turning-to-stone/neatline/show/whooms-test
but this displays correctly and with no errors:
http://ajblandford.info/turning-to-stone/neatline/show/beta-geological-illustration-intro
I'm not sure what happened in the space of a week…
Error after upgrading
jflatnes February 7, 2017, 3:30am #2
I'm splitting this into its own topic because though the error is the same basic message, it's not the same plugin.
The strict standards error is showing up because Omeka 2.5 is more inclusive about showing some error messages and warnings that older versions of Omeka hide. By itself that message doesn't necessarily indicate much, just a small coding mismatch between Neatline and Omeka that should be fixed, but probably doesn't break anything.
As for the new records not working, are you saying they just have the result of your "whooms-test" link where it's not loading correctly, or is there an error message or other behavior happening?
From the output of the console output on the "whooms-test" page, it looks like a well-known change to the Google Maps API where it requires keys when it previously didn't. This can be a little hard to notice or diagnose because Google seems to try to make existing pages that didn't need a key continue to work, so things can frustratingly work on one page or site but not on another. If it's just this key error, it doesn't really have anything to do with Omeka 2.5 probably, instead being more of a coincidence.
Users have previously filed a bug report with Neatline's developers about the "missing key" error: https://github.com/scholarslab/Neatline/issues/398
If the error you're getting when adding a record is an "Omeka has encountered an error" page, there's likely a report for that as well: https://github.com/scholarslab/Neatline/issues/400
JH0we February 7, 2017, 10:32pm #3
When I click the "Save" button on an open-for-editing Neatline record, a little red box appears in the upper right-hand corner that says only "There was an error - the record was not saved." However, the record does appear to have been saved, despite the continuing appearance of the red box.
I'm not sure what you mean by "requires keys" or anything though - is it because of the basemap we're using?
At this point, I guess the only thing we can do is say "I, too, have this error" and wait for a fix? It seems like nothing has been resolved (or even answered) in either of those linked threads.
jflatnes February 8, 2017, 5:41pm #4
I'd definitely engage with those Github issues, even if just to chime in. The developers will be updated on the existence and impact of the problem, and you'll be able to get automatic updates when there are updates or answers there.
JH0we February 13, 2017, 6:47am #5
I managed to repair it by editing the named files in Neatline:
/models/NeatlineRecord.php
/models/NeatlineExhibit.php
I had a couple of strict standards errors that I realized were actually different instances of the same StrictStandards error. I edited the functions declared in the error messages to match the function definition also given in the error message and both the messages and the behavior disappeared.
I'm not sure if this is, y'know, actually advisable, but it did seem to fix the errors.


Goulet Q&A Episode 100, Goulet Office Tour!
Back on August 23, 2013 when we published the first Goulet Q&A, we really didn't think about ever hitting episode 100. I and my team wanted to celebrate by answering the one question repeatedly side-stepped...showing you our GouletPens.com headquarters!
Can you believe it's almost episode 100? Number 99 coming at you today, and I'm talking about how cold temperatures affect pens, eyedropper converting metal pens, biocides, and how many pens I get for free.
The Visconti Traveling Inkwell (also referred to as the Traveling Ink Pot) is something talked about here and there in the fountain pen community, and we get a lot of questions about what it is and how it works. This video is aimed to satisfy your curiosity once and for all, showing you how this neat device can help you fill your fountain pens to the max when on the go.
This week I'm addressing some website issues and talking about my new iPhone. We have a ton of great Visconti products that I'm briefly touching on. I'm answering questions on brush pen techniques, inks to match your new Omas Ogiva Cocktail, and my top book suggestions. Enjoy your Friday fountain pen fix!
Diamine Shimmertastic Inks Are Here!
Made from natural resin uniquely mixed to represent palettes of oil paint, the Visconti Van Gogh series is inspired by the artist's painting techniques. You'll love the depth of color reflected in the eighteen-faceted design. Available in five different styles based on the artist's most famous works including Irises, Pollard Willows, Self Portrait, Starry Night, and Sunflowers.
This week, I'm making up for a missed last week. My whole family was sick with pneumonia, but we're all back and doing better. In Q&A I'm talking about stealth pens, tipping nibs, nibs being like women's dress sizes, and my dream frankenpen!

Look around your company. Are anybody surrounded by "entrepreneurs"? Is your company comprised of females who take property of any problem or task when comes across unique desk or email address? Do they use challenges, possess which the process, and take responsibility – when it comes to successes and problems alike?
Some may come away thinking that most "corporate entrepreneur" and then "employee" are contradictory. They believe exactly who "entrepreneurs" take i would say the ultimate risk * ditching the alarm of the day-job, as it were, and facing usually the personal, financial and thus psychological challenges with business ownership.
That's one firmness. Another would be "corporate entrepreneurship." This kind of realm is populated by people that – though them to receive a paycheck signed by somebody else – read the organization (or at least the company's small domain for it) as your turf. This is usually the most valuable of employee.
Innovation and commercial entrepreneurship are inextricably intertwined and motivate well-reasoned risk stealing. Especially in key organizations traditionally possibilities averse, innovation motoring leaders and players to become a good deal corporate enterprising. This process encourages maturation from within, whom helps set how the stage for leadership continuity.
As a concern leader, you must build an environment that tolerates sort entrepreneurial thinking.

Yet for corporate entrepreneurship to thrive, it needs a good deal more. It requires the most important structure and culture. Assuming the true people are on the inside place, leadership have provide divisional and / or business unit autonomy. How can you actually lead your provider to a landscape of corporate entrepreneurship?
– Choose Innovation, Characterize what "entrepreneurship" means. A new phrase "Corporate Entrepreneurship" must mean these same thing organization-wide. Moreover, leadership must delineate endeavors and component the road as an element of the product's vision and mission.
– Incubate and nurture. Corporate entrepreneurship doesn't prosper without guidance. It sets out small – and gets older through involvment. Begin with small homemade projects heavily backed by direction. Those good results stories will ideally be heavily communicated the fact that such. It then may become the main lead problem to attract the rest of these group and / or other entrepreneurial-minded teams along.
– Come up with a pay off system. Risk and reward, when competently aligned, could very well foster reputation. Rewards 2 ) whether inside the shape of encourage from point managers, vision from leadership, or your current chance for you to lead potential projects also task army – remain powerful motivators. They simultaneously can help solidify its creation of stronger corporation entrepreneurs.
So image around your good organization. Is you encircled by sales staff – alternatively entrepreneurs? Which the difference might be not only the way they are going to think, but they far they're at the moment nurtured.
