In Surprising Visit, Urdangarin Meets With King
Iñaki Urdangarin, the Duke of Palma and Infanta Cristina's husband, visited King Juan Carlos today along with other members of the Spanish Royal Family at Quirón San José Hospital in Madrid.
His Majesty was recovering from a previously scheduled hip surgery.
It was the first time, media reports indicated, since the King had met with his son-in-law since he became embroiled in a high profile corruption scandal. Infanta Cristina is said to have orchestrated the visit.

The visit also came just days after prosecutors asked a judge to approve roughly 4 million euro in bond for the Duke. They accuse him of stealing public funds along with his partner while heading the non-profit Noós Institute.
King Juan Carlos' sisters, Infantas Pilar and Margarita, also visited him at the hospital.

TV Station Preparing A Biopic of King
Spanish newspaper El Pais spun the news as Telecinco "daring" to go where others may not.
The station has announced that it is producing a biopic of King Juan Carlos. Amid talks about the Crown's popularity and Catalonian calls for independence in defiance of the King, observers are concerned about what the film may include.

A recent Telecinco production about the courtship of Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia, a divorced television news personality, was wildly popular.
Spanish Television has also produced films featuring the Royal Family, including one about the failed 1981 coup, which the King is said to have watched and liked.

Done With Summit, Back In The Shop
King Juan Carlos is — using his own words — going back into to the shop. Doctors will soon perform yet another hip surgery on the Monarch, who has had difficulty walking.
Don Juan Carlos went under the knife earlier this year after his fall in Botswana. This time, however, doctors will treat his left hip.
The King said he delayed the surgery to make room for this weekend's Cádiz Summit of Ibero-American heads of state and government. His Majesty has been deeply involved in hosting the event.
"Without a doubt the Cádiz Constitution provided the seed for ideas of liberty that influence so many European and American constitutions," the King said speaking about the short-lived but important 1812 document.
Don Juan Carlos also spoke about the economic and social progress being made by many Latin American countries in contrast with the pain in Europe.
"Our sights are on you," he told the leaders assembled. "You have made great efforts to be where you are and we can't but recognize it and look for shared experiences."
Queen Sofia tours the sites with the spouses and guests of Ibero-American leaders.
The King has made wooing Latin America a pillar of his agenda to help the Spanish economy. He recently toured several countries there, and today hosted a Royal Palace lunch for Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.
His Majesty awarded President Rousseff the Collar of Isabella the Catholic, Spain's highest honor. And he encouraged Brazilian companies to invest in Spain.
The next Ibero-American summit will be in Panama. This year's may be the last one hosted by King Juan Carlos in Spain.

King, Royals Headline Ibero-American Summit
The Spanish Royal Family will be in the spotlight this week as it hosts the 22nd Ibero-American summit in the southwestern port city of Cádiz.
Today King Juan Carlos met with Dominican President Danilo Medina, the first Head of State to arrive at the gathering, which mostly consists of Spanish and Latin American leaders.
Meeting at Zarzuela Palace.
Tomorrow morning, His Majesty will meet with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and Ecuatorian President Rafael Correa. Later on, he will host a lunch for outgoing Mexican President Felipe Calderón.
Then, King Juan Carlos, Queen Sofia and the Prince and Princess of Asturias will attend official summit ceremonies. The Queen is also scheduled to host a meeting with first ladies during the weekend.

Earlier this week Prince Felipe presided over a meeting of young people from Ibero-American countries. The event was meant to include youth in finding solutions to regional problems.
King Juan Carlos is hoping for a successful meeting with the goal of strengthening ties between Spain and Latin America, a key part of the country's economic growth strategy.

Queen Sues Cheating Website
Queen Sofia is suing the website Ashley Madison for pasting her face on another body and using it in an ad for the dating service, according to numerous media reports.
Ashley Madison, a branch of Canadian company Avid Life Media, encourages people to have affairs facilitated by the site.
The media reports indicate that Her Majesty is suing the company with private money.

Our spine is a sophisticated structure composed of bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments. We can sprain ligaments, strain muscles, rupture discs and irritate joints – all of which can cause back pain.
While we can all understand how accidents and sports injuries can cause back pain, sometimes even the simplest of movements (like picking a pencil up from the floor) can produce painful results. In addition, arthritis, poor posture, obesity and emotional stress can cause or complicate back pain.
Chiropractors are trained in the surgery and drug free approach of disorders of the spine, nervous system and the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors maintain a unique focus on spinal adjustments and treatment of surrounding structures, including, muscles, soft tissue and ligaments.
The Chiropractor will conduct a thorough musculoskeletal assessment to determine the cause of your back pain. The Chiropractor will put together a comprehensive and individualised treatment plan that is designed to address your specific condition and requirements for pain relief and long term healing.
Chiropractic care is considered to be the safe and effective treatment of back pain. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your spinal health, do not hesitate to contact your Chiropractor.

SV Design partnered with Windover Construction to design 45 new apartments in a four-story building located in downtown Beverly. The complex includes apartments ranging from one- to two-bedroom units, with parking and retail on the first level. The building design is inspired by historic mill buildings typical of the area. Together with other apartment buildings near the train station, Enterprise Apartments is part of a civic growth strategy to locate urban housing near public transportation.


A survey by the Real Estate Alliance (REA) suggests the average price of a three-bed semi in County Wicklow will increase just 4.6% this year.
This follows the 8.3% rise (to €291,000) seen in 2018 according to REA's survey of actual sale prices.
The likelihood of a "no-deal" Brexit scenario – Britain leaving the European Union without a deal on March 29 – increased this week following a defeat for Theresa May's Brexit divorce deal on Tuesday.
It is unclear what impact Brexit may have on prices of apartments in County Wicklow. Last year, list prices for one-bed units jumped 17% locally according to daft.ie's House Price Report.
Overall, sale prices nationwide have increased 50% in recent years according to daft.ie. Their latest report indicates Wicklow is the fourth most expensive area to buy a home (€334,000), behind only South Co. Dublin (€591,000), South Dublin City (€407,000), and North Dublin City (€338,000).
The daft.ie report's author, Ronan Lyons, writes that there remains a "mismatch between strong demand and weak supply".
Nationwide, three quarters of an estimated 18,000 homes built last year were estate housing in the form of 3 and 4-bed units.

Microbiological Quality and Genotypic Speciation of Heterotrophic Bacteria Isolated from Potable Water Stored in Household Tanks
Tokajian, Sima; Hashwa, Fuad
URL: https://www.cawq.ca/journal/temp/journal/3.pdf#page=70
Upon storage, a statistically significant increase in heterotrophic plate count (HPC) was detected in samples from household tanks. The most consistent correlate of regrowth was found to be storage time, however, temperature and the microbiological quality of the influent water were also important. Total and fecal coliforms were detected in the influent water and in the household storage tanks. Coliforms growing at 37ºC were a small but significant part (about 0.002%) of the total heterotrophic population. In the influent, 92% of the coliforms (11 colony forming units/100 mL) at 44ºC were Escherichia coli, while in the household tanks it was 86%. The majority of isolates from the influent and the household tanks recovered on R2A agar formed pigmented colonies and were Gram-negative belonging to the α-, β-, and γ-subclasses of Proteobacteria. Overall, the α-subclass was the dominant type representing 61% of the recovered HPC, and 40 to 50% of the organisms based on 16S rDNA sequence analysis were members of the family Sphingomonadaceae. The presence of E. coli and the isolation of opportunistic pathogens as a significant part of the HPC population from both influent and household tanks indicated a potential health hazard to consumers.

This list describes the Ash (Fraxinus) trees that we generally grow in our bare root nursery. Due to vagaries of production and demand however not all of the trees listed here will be available every year.
Up to10m.* Gold/green spring/summer foliage turning brilliant gold in autumn. Slow growing smallish tree. Winter effect of deep yellow branches and twigs with black buds.To hasten top growth and form good shape the lower early opening buds should be rubbed off the main trunk when young. Mass planted they create a special effect and stand out even more contrasted against their cousin the Claret Ash although they do have very different growth habits and always grow smaller. Best in deep moist soils but they have a reasonable tolerance to heat and relatively dry conditions. Can be temperamental but a good one is superb.
10m exceptionally to 15m.* Perhaps the most ornamental and versatile of all the Ashes it is surprising that this tree is not planted more often. Offering a nice neat round compact head and a smaller habit than its relatives, this tree provides an autumn journey from yellow, through to red and then purple. In addition it turns into a white cloud with sprays of fragrant white flowers in spring. A relatively fast growing tree that prefers rich heavy loams but will tolerate clay and sandy soils. Needs full sun and although it is very tolerant of high winds, dry conditions and urban pollution it is not suitable in coastal conditions. Very similar to its evergreen relative griffithii which is used extensively in urban areas.
8-10 m exceptionally to 20m.* A tough tree suited to dry conditions with good autumn colour (yellow) in cold districts and a special pastel green to its spring flushing leaves. Ranges from a smaller to medium spreading tree on hard exposed dry sites to a taller more stately specimen on deep loamy soils. A shapely and fast growing tree it has become a very popular street tree able to withstand almost any conditions.
10-12m exceptionally to 20m.* An Australian grafted version of the Desert Ash which reliably produces burgundy/red rich wine autumn tones. Magnificent round headed and fast growing specimen with an abundance of foliage.The small narrow leaves are a deep dark green throughout the summer. Plant in full sun to obtain the best colour. Prefers well drained moist soils but will endure hot conditions if water is available.
6-8m exceptionally to 12m.* A tough tree from Arizona able to withstand heat, drought and a little salt. Manages to look refreshing in the hardest summers. Velvety bright green summer foliage and clear yellow autumn leaves. Round headed and fairly open form. Growing on a wide range of soils from sandy loams to clay loams. Providing relatively cool shade in summer its foliage will tolerate a fair amount of wind.
A Perfect tree for those really tough sites.

'They can go to hell': Meghan McCain blasts Katie Couric, others for calls to 'deprogram' Trump supporters
Meghan McCain blasted Katie Couric and others who have called for the "deprogramming" of Trump supporters by saying Monday on ABC's "The View" that "they can go to hell."
McCain, a co-host of the daytime talk show, went after the veteran journalist Couric, who told Bill Maher earlier this month: "I also think some of them are believing the garbage that they are being fed 24/7 on the internet, by their constituents, and they bought into this big lie. And the question is how are we going to really almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump."
Others in media over the past couple weeks, including one of McCain's "The View" co-hosts, Sunny Hostin, have called Trump supporters "brainwashed" or in need of "deprogramming."
"Instead we're hearing a lot of language from people like Katie Couric that Republicans like me need to be 'deprogrammed,' that we're 'brainwashed'—that 74 million Americans are basically irredeemable people, that we don't need to communicate towards or in any way have anything to do with," McCain said. "I think it's horribly dangerous for the country and I also think it's horribly dangerous for Democrats."

Biden's Calls For 'Unity' Amid Divisive Agenda Will Only Unify The 'America First' Movement
"If you don't care about unity, you should care about the politics of this," McCain continued, "because right now there is a vacuum to pick up the four people—four in ten Republicans who feel very disenfranchised, and if President Biden and Democrats want to have a big tent party and include some of these people, great, and if we're all just deplorable and need to be reprogrammed as Katie Couric said, then honestly they can go to hell, because I don't need to be deprogrammed," McCain said.
"I just have a different perspective on how the government should be run," she added.

McCain, who is the sole conservative on the show, has been very critical of former President Donald Trump. In the 2020 presidential election, she voted for President Joe Biden, who was a longtime friend of her father, the late Arizona Sen. John McCain (R), whom Trump had attacked for his time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

Health Industry Distributors' Association: Supply Chain Delays 'A Healthcare Issue'
The Health Industry Distributors' Association (HIDA) released harrowing data stating "Transportation Delays Are A Healthcare Issue." HIDA's December release states, "research estimates that approximately 8,000-12,000 containers of critical medical supplies are delayed an average of up to 37 days throughout the transportation system."
The statement continues, "The West Coast port with the greatest number of delayed medical containers are the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. The most congested East Coast port is the Port of Savannah."
An infographic is accompanied with the statement which breaks down the crisis further. 17 is the average number of days the shipments are delayed at the Port. There's an 11 day average delay by rail, and a 9 day average delay by truck.
In those shipping containers, the infographic states 187,000 gowns, 360,000 syringes and 3.5 million surgical gloves are held. The ports with the most medical delayed supplies are Los Angeles/Long Beach, Savannah, New York/New Jersey, Charleston, Seattle, Oakland, Boston, Baltimore and Houston.
Axios reports under a "Why it matters" headline, that "Per their projections, medical supplies arriving at a U.S. port on Christmas Day won't be delivered to hospitals and other care settings until February 2022."
As a result, "that could delay critical supplies at a time when health care is already expected to most need them due to surges from Delta and Omicron."
Additionally, "The supply chain problems can compound, starting with medical supplies languishing in U.S. ports for an average of 17 days, officials said."

How to Lead a Healthy Lifestyle - Timothy Tsoi, M.D.
It is extremely important to lead a healthy lifestyle. Here are some key steps you can take to be healthy!
Use this calorie counter to make sure you are eating the right amount each day.


I've always enjoyed reading about the little calling cards or dance cards that women used to give out to others in the 1800s and early 1900s. I've always enjoyed reading historical fiction and trying to imagine what it was like in other eras of time.
When I learned that www.KodakGallery.com was giving out 50 free personal cards for the price of shipping ($3.99), I thought I'd give these a try!
They were very easy to design, using photos and graphics from my computer.
You can see, above, the graphic I placed on the front of my personal cards, along with the name of my website.
Obviously, I wouldn't give these cards out to just anyone I don't know. But occasionally, I meet a new homeschooling family or make a new friend, and this is a nice way to provide them with that information without having them write it all down on a scrap of paper.
Additional orders (beyond the original 50 cards) are at their regular price, but for a small order of 50 cards, I thought that $3.99 was a decent price for a full-color glossy front personal card.
I'm not an affiliate of KodakGallery, although I do order prints through their website once in a while. I just thought I'd share their latest "freebie" for those who may be interested. I have nothing to gain in sharing this info!

The History of St. John's Episcopal, Roanoke
The railroad arrived in the early 1890s, and Big Lick, Virginia, became Roanoke. Almost overnight, the city's population soared, and tiny St. John's Church, which had existed in Roanoke since 1850, grew along with it. In 1892, with profound faith that God would bless their endeavor, St. John's two hundred members built a six hundred seat new church at the corner of Jefferson Street and Elm Avenue.
The construction of the church was not without its challenges. Conflict within the congregation about whether to build the new church at all threatened to halt the project and resulted in a split that seeded our sister parish, Christ Church (a relationship we now cherish). Additionally, the Roanoke economy in the early 1890s was in a downturn, and a shortage of construction funds was a chronic problem.
Some of the challenges, and the responses to them, are comical in hindsight. As one example, since the property on which the church was being constructed previously had been unoccupied, a neighbor had created a cesspool on it into which his sewer line drained. Initially, it wasn't obvious which neighbor was the source of the refuse. Building Supervisor William C. Noland found himself going house to house along the block asking suspicious Roanokers if he could examine their sewer lines. The culprit was finally identified and the problem fixed. As another example, in order to raise funds for construction, the Ladies Guild hosted a benefit extravaganza at the Roanoke Opera House, including an original two-act comedy entitled "A Box of Monkeys!"
The faithful people of St. John's overcame all obstacles in order to build this church as a testament to the central place of God in their lives and their community. That testimony has continued throughout the years. Today, St. John's is a vibrant and growing part of the Roanoke community and is the largest parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Southwestern Virginia. Membership is 1,600, and the average Sunday attendance is 500. In 2009, the parish completed an extensive restoration of the historic church, ensuring that this holy place continues as a beacon of the gospel for future generations. (For more on the 2009 parish restoration project, click here and/or download the booklet about that restoration here.)
As the flagship parish of the Diocese, St. John's sings praises to the Lord through renowned music, mission and outreach that extend from Roanoke to Ghana, Africa, and educational programs that engage people of every age. St. John's moves into the future as a community in which the Gospel is preached, the Sacraments are administered, and the love of God in Christ is shared with all who enter.

After hearing many experiences of smaller businesses trading internationally, the Institute of Export & International Trade realised that an increasing number have been acting without a contract and no payment terms agreed.
Given English contract law has a tendency to take businesses straight to a dispute rather than including options for mediation and arbitration, this is damaging our exporters' international relationships. A proper set of international T&Cs can give exporters alternative routes to dispute resolution, saving them significant legal costs and time.
In line with the government's export strategy, the Institute has consulted its members and partners, and realised the solution was to provide international T&C templates. As such, the Institute is delighted to launch four new international T&C templates, which cover the basic premises of trading overseas. This allows businesses to export confidently, safe in the knowledge that they have a legal framework specific to their international needs, including clauses relating to anti-bribery and anti-slavery laws.
We understand that we can't change the culture of business overnight, but I believe that by offering template International T&Cs for SMEs, relevant to the different styles of business they operate in, we can begin to protect them from some of the risks of international trade, enabling them to export successfully and securely"
"A crucial part of exporting is having the legal frameworks in place that allow businesses to trade confidently. I'm delighted that the Institute of Export & International Trade has launched these templates as part of a package of solutions on offer to help businesses export.
"I urge all UK companies that are currently selling overseas without proper contracts in place to take a look at these templates and implement the right one for them. Through our export strategy, DIT has set out an offer for all businesses to ensure they are able to make the most of the global opportunities this presents."
"A finely considered set of T&Cs allows a business to determine from the outset of any agreement exactly how business between the parties is going to be conducted. They provide clarity on: the agreed processes for getting paid, where liability lies, and what happens when disagreements arise.
"These templates are a great start for businesses, helping to give them a basis upon which they can export confidently."
The Institute of Export & International Trade (IOE&IT) has for over 80 years been the professional membership body representing and supporting the interests of everyone involved in importing, exporting and international trade in the UK.
Through qualifications and training the IOE&IT has driven the export skills agenda in the UK and is the country's leading authority for best practice and competence in trade.
Members of the Institute get access to a wealth of information and support - including its technical helpline, online daily bulletins, a programme of networking events, free copies of the quarterly journal World Trade Matters, and now access to international T&C templates.
There are range of membership packages available to meet the needs of the whole export community, ranging from small business to corporate levels.

Music, memories and mental health: An homage to Avicii
Andrea Lewis Åkerman
Keyword Contributor
Today's Google Doodle celebrates the life and legacy of Swedish DJ, record producer and songwriter Tim Bergling — also known by his stage name, Avicii — on what would have been his 32nd birthday. From producing hit songs that topped international charts to headlining festivals around the world, Tim will forever be remembered as one of the pioneers and most influential visionaries of electronic dance music.
In 2018, Tim passed away at 28-years-old from suicide after struggling with mental health issues. In his memory, Tim's father Klas and his mother Anki started a foundation to raise awareness and address the stigma of mental health among young people — Tim Bergling Foundation.
To remember Tim on this day as well as learn more about mental health, we talked to Tim's father Klas Bergling.
Tell us about Tim in your own words — how do you remember him?
Klas: Tim was a kind and open person, full of energy, stubbornness and integrity. He had a special set of attributes, and if you watched the documentary about his life, I think you can also tell he wasn't really built for fame in the way he was exposed to it.
Despite his success and fame, he remained humble and treated people with kindness and equal respect.
Was there a moment when you understood how musically talented he was?
Klas: When Tim was about 10-years-old, he sang the Swedish national anthem at full capacity. He really lived in the moment when doing that, and it was times like this I initially understood there was something special there.
Being part of a generation that didn't grow up with house music, I used to view it as a monotonous, repetitive beat. When I started taking power walks back in the early days of Tim's career, listening to his music, I realized what beautiful melodies were captured within the songs. It was an "aha moment" — this is really music — and I started needing it to get me going. Tim produced more melodic songs over the years, with "Bromance" being one of the big eye-openers to his talent for me personally.
Were there any moments you were especially proud of Tim during his career?
Klas: Tim was such a special person, I was always proud of him for just being the person he was. In terms of his musical accomplishments, I will never forget when he played in a park called Strömparterren in Stockholm in the early days of his career. He'd told me explicitly to not come — maybe because it wasn't very cool to have your father around at that age — but I went anyway and hid behind a tree. It was a great evening and I remember feeling surprised, amazed and very proud. When I came to find him backstage afterwards, he was so glad I came.
An especially proud moment was also when Tim played in Globen Arena, today named Avicii Arena in effort to bring more attention to mental health, and I decided to sit completely by myself to take in the experience, as well as when the whole family went to watch him play at the festival "Summerburst" at Stockholm Olympic Stadium. He performed brilliantly at both shows — they were such great evenings.
After Tim passed away, you and your wife Anki started the Tim Bergling Foundation. Can you tell us about this work?
Klas: After Tim's suicide, a lot of people reached out to us. Some who were in similar situations, but also a lot of fans who'd been following him throughout the years. Many people told us that Tim and his songs meant a lot to them and they felt like they knew him, which I think they did in a sense.
The scale of mental health issues among young people is staggering. Tim was always interested in psychology and spirituality, and we wanted to honor him by doing what we could to help others. That's how we brought the Tim Bergling Foundation to life, with the goal of contributing to young people's mental health, lowering the rate of suicide among young people as well as removing the stigma around it. It's not something you can do on your own, you need to cooperate broadly, and that's what we try to do. We're interested in bringing music into the picture as well, and have started working with organizations to spark young people's creativity by giving them better access to creating and remixing music of their own.
What advice would you give to someone who has a friend or family member experiencing anxiety, depression or mental illness?
Klas: It's not always easy, not least due to the stigma around these topics; it can be hard to talk about. But that's what we need to do — talk about it. Simple things like asking questions can go a long way in helping someone heal. And if you see someone moving in the wrong direction, you should encourage or help them seek support.
I also think it's very important for companies to get more engaged in these conversations and enable their employees to talk more openly about mental health.
People everywhere grieved Tim's passing and celebrated his legacy — what has that been like for your family?
Klas: It's given us great support in our sorrow and grief, a privilege we understand few in the same situation experience. You'll always feel alone in a sense, but the love we've received from all around the world has meant a lot. I truly believe the small things — a smile, a short note — mean so much to people who are grieving. It can be hard to know what to do, and you often feel like whatever you do it's not enough, but a few words often go a long way.
Is there a song of Tim's that has a special meaning to you?
Klas: I always come back to the song "Bromance." The song stands for so much that Tim was, and sends a message of friendship, which was always important to Tim.

Lucas from Sisimiut, came out with 9 tracks in 2003. His texts are very encouraging and extremely personal - as rappers usually write texts. His biggest hit is undoubtedly "Uangaliuna, and his music is melodic with rap as verse and multi-voice song in the transcripts. This makes the music listenable both for those who are hip hop and those who are not. Lucas was invited to perform at the Greenland Day in Tivoli in 2006, where he received a lot of good criticism of the nationwide newspapers. A nice debut album ..

Breaking Point: Are The Little Things You Do Killing Your Small Business?
Alan Draper Last updated: November 14, 2012
Every customer has a breaking point when it comes to being charged for something. Often, it is not what you would've predicted. I'm sure Bank of America did not see the $5.00 debit card charge as their customers' breaking point. But indeed, this little charge was the proverbial straw that broke the backs of the card holder.
Years ago, when I directed the marketing for corporate clients, my breaking point with ad agencies was the "small" fees like, photocopying, copy changes, delivery services, and meeting fees that were added into the fine print of the contracts. Every month, I would receive a couple of hundred dollars in additional fees. My reaction was visceral, emotional and pronounced. In fact, the initial contracts were often in the six figures and it seemed to me that the agencies I worked with were "nickel and diming" my clients, and it made me mad. When I complained about these charges, I was told this was their "policy" and everything I had been additionally billed for was outside of the contract. They would direct me to the "fine print" for clarification of my misunderstanding.
Even today, working in the tech world, I can't seem to get away from extra charges. Maybe I'm old, but I have this crazy idea that when I talk to my (outside) tech firm, they are benefiting from the relationship build – but apparently not. They charge me by the minute to talk to them about my project. It absolutely drives me nuts because it limits the idea exchange, the spark of genius that could occur because all I am thinking about is the ka-ching of the bill I'm going to be getting. So I have to ask, is getting an additional 50 or 60 bucks worth the relationship capital you just lost.
This brings me to two points. One is the idea of "policies." Why is it that "policies" seem to be in the best interest of the company and not the customer? "This works best for us." "We need these policies so we are consistent within our company." Believe me, I've heard all the rationalizations. But why not have policies that say, "Let's do everything to make the customer excited to be working with us. EVERYTHING." Pretty simple. Fifteen words.
My second point; understand that things like add-on charges (particularly for service companies) like high shipping and handling fees, user fees, and consulting fees for meetings, could be your Bank of America's debit card fiasco. When putting together a contract for services, put in a 5% contingency that covers that crap.
Or, if you feel compelled to show the customer you are doing additional work, include the details in the invoice, but put a N/C (No Charge) beside the item.
It builds enormous goodwill capital and your customers will think it's remarkable. (Think of Seth Godin's definition of remarkable – something to remark on).
Zappos understands this. Their policy? A 365-day return window with free shipping BOTH ways. Yes, ten words – simple and remarkable!
Do you have policies that you have implemented in your business that are remarkable? When you changed a policy did that made a difference to your company?

Fire chiefs believe a huge blaze at a warehouse in Melbourne's inner-west could take several days to extinguish after crews worked through the night to douse the flames.
Firefighters arrived at the scene in Footscray at 5am on Thursday and called in assistance from airport crews who have trucks with the capacity to spray foam from 80 metres.
The situation was declared under control by the Melbourne Fire Brigade (MFB) just before 10pm on Thursday.
A steel recycling company was in the process of moving into the tin and asbestos warehouse which housed aerosols and over 40 drums containing grease, oil and acetone residues that have fuelled the flames.
With toxic smoke spewing over Melbourne's west, 19 schools and 38 childcare centres in the affected areas were closed on Thursday.
Acting MFB chief officer Greg Leach told a community meeting that the fire-fighting effort was being hampered because the warehouse was divided in two by shipping containers.
"As much as we'd like to knock this fire down overnight, we've got days and days of work here," Mr Leach told the meeting.
With the asbestos roof of the building collapsing, firefighters will have to go into the wreck when it's deemed safe to take it apart and cool the smouldering mess below.
"That will take time," Mr Leach said. "It's dirty work, but it's got to be done."
Thursday's cold weather meant the hot smoke plume could rise high above residents, minimising damage to air quality.
"While we had this toxic, dark, acrid, black rolling plume that was heading over the suburbs, at ground level the air quality was relatively unchanged," Mr Leach said.
It is not known exactly how the fire started or what the damage bill will be.
An investigation will take place to determine the cause of the fire, how the firefighting operation was handled, the integrity of the building and the safety of the materials inside.
The Environmental Protection Authority is monitoring air quality and run-off into waterways.

Geoffrey A. Barborka
(Redirected from Geoffrey Avery Barborka)
The American Theosophist and writer Geoffrey Avery Barborka (1897-1982) was a serious and deep student of H.P. Blavatsky's life, work and teachings. He conducted for many years classes on Madame Blavatsky's magnus opus The Secret Doctrine. Probably his most well-known books are The Divine Plan (an in depth commentary on The Secret Doctrine); H.P. Blavatsky, Tibet and Tulku; and The Mahatmas and Their Letters.[1]
Geoffrey Avery Barborka, was born September 6, 1897, in Chicago, only son of Bessie and Vaclav (of Czechoslovakia). Vaclav, employed in the family horological business, was a musician and Freemason. In December 1900 he moved his family to the Theosophical Headquarters, Point Loma, enrolling his son in the Raja Yoga School, and began teaching violin, harp, organ, and other instruments. Geoffrey progressed to first grade 1903, high school 1911, and college 1915, receiving his degree 1920. In 1923, being over 18 he became an official member of the Theosophical Society in Point Loma. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1929, followed by a Master of Arts in 1935 from Theosophical University, specializing in languages. Inheriting his father's musical ability, he took up the violin, and The San Diego Union of April 27, 1908 reported that a violin solo by him was the highlight of the evening's performance by the Raja Yoga orchestra and chorus, and brought vociferous applause. Within a few years he began work at the Press, as a stenographer and monotype compositor, among other duties. He was solely responsible for typesetting the entire Point Loma edition of Isis Unveiled, and The Secret Doctrine, published in 1917, and again in 1925; the proofreaders marveling at the absence of typographical errors. About this time he began language studies, developing a proficiency that would later serve him well as scholar, author, and lecturer.
On April 2, 1938, he married Helen Ila Beale, who had come to Point Loma in the early 1920's from her native England. Her father, Dr Arthur A. Beale, a long time Theosophist, was author of The Evolution of Man's Mind. Geoffrey's Sanskrit studies resulted in a collaboration with the Merganthaler Co. to produce the only Sanskrit linotype machine in America, 1940. In 1941, after 40 years at Point Loma, the family moved to Oak Park, Illinois, where his father became a concert violinist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and Geoffrey was employed as a linotype operator. He joined the TS, Wheaton, and began classes and talks, introducing them to the study of The Secret Doctrine.
After the war, with the death of his father in 1946, and an inheritance from a cousin, he planned to return to California, but his work on The Divine Plan delayed his arrival in Ojai, CA until 1962, when he purchased a modest house. His mother Bessie died there in 1965.
Geoffrey and Ila Barborka at Krotona, 1971
In 1966, Geoffrey and Ila visited England and attended the World Congress in Salzburg, Austria. On their return trip to California, they visited at the Olcott campus for a few days. They spent an evening with the staff in a question-and-answer session discussing The Secret Doctrine and The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett.[2]
Ila died in January 1977, and Geoffrey passed on September 30, 1982. During his lifetime he authored 11 books, and made several trips to England, Canada and elsewhere giving lectures. In 1970 he gave the Blavatsky Lecture in London, H.P. Blavatsky the Light Bringer.
In temperament he was very reserved, and early on embraced a degree of asceticism, demonstrating extraordinary self discipline with total commitment to his studies. He was seldom known to engage in casual conversation, remaining attentive and silent. Always extremely tolerant of non-theosophical groups, he took the time to lecture to a wide variety of new age types. Though reticent, he was kind, helpful, and was never known to say an unkind word about anyone. He loved tranquility, and Ila deferred to his wishes, whispering to overnight guests to be hushed in the house. She, was charming, congenial, and sociable, and it might be said that she was Geoffrey's liaison with the mundane world. That world was, while he was at Point Loma, remote, for he restrained himself to its 350 acres, seldom venturing beyond its confines. Deliberate and focused, he lived his life as he played the violin, with careful precision, sans vibrato.[3]
Mr. Barborka made significant contributions to Theosophical scholarship and literature.
The Union Index of Theosophical Periodicals lists 259 articles by or about Barborka, in The Eclectic Theosophist, the High Country Theosophist, and several others. A particularly valuable contribution to The Canadian Theosophist was his regular "Secret Doctrine Question and Answer" series.
These are books he authored:
Gods and Heros of the Bhagavad Gita. Point Loma, California: Theosophical University Press, 1939.
Man's Potent Force. New York: Greenwich Books, 1956.
The Divine Plan. Wheaton, Illinois: Theosophical Publishing House, 1961; 6th ed.,1998. This is a commentary on the esoteric doctrines of Cosmogenesis from Volume I of The Secret Doctrine, analyzing and explaining all the terms used. The Divine Plan is a particularly useful volume - a classic of Theosophical literature in its own right.

The Peopling of the Earth: A Commentary on Archaic Records in the Secret Doctrine. Wheaton, Illinois: Theosophical Publishing House, 1975. 233 pages. Barborka recounts the story of how the first humans came to the Earth, as it is presented in the first three stanzas of the second volume of The Secret Doctrine. This work offers a synthesis of the teachings and assistance in understanding the symbols and cryptic expressions used by Mme. Blavatsky. A chronology in the last chapter is based upon an unfinished article written by H.P.B., entitled "On Cosmic Cycles, Manvantaras and Rounds." See review by Daniel Caldwell in The Eclectic Theosophist 34, May 15, 1976, pp. 6-7.
The Story of Human Evolution. Wheaton, Illinois: Theosophical Publishing House, 1979. This continuation of The Peopling of the Earth is based on Stanzas III to XII of the second volume of The Secret Doctrine.

If you don't already have MacPorts installed get that installed. After MacPorts is installed run the below command via a terminal window on OSX to install OpenSSL via MacPorts.
Once OpenSSL is installed download SSLScan here. Unpack SSLScan and compile using the command below.
You may get some warnings and shown above but that shouldn't matter as sslscan will still function properly as shown below.
Thats it… SSLScan is now rocking on your computer running OSX. Below is the output from attempting to install SSLScan using OSX's default openssl.


So…..here is a look at what I was up to this weekend!
The quilt along actually started a while ago, but we are gonna catch up!
Some of you guys might already be following Amy's blog or the virtual quilting bee, so you can help us out.
She uses guest bloggers to create the blocks. So you get to check out some cool blogs too! The blocks are 8″ finished size, 16 in total.
The virtual quilting bee is giving two examples of each block. One using the fabric line, Happy-go-lucky by Bonnie and Camille and another option with Kona solids. I just so happened to have a Happy-go-lucky FQ bundle so that is what I am using, but I am sure you could use any line. Maybe even go scrappy!
I will post my progress every Friday and show you my block. For all the beginners, I will let you know if anything is super tricky or needs a "sassy" breakdown:) For the Pro's out there, I would love to just see what your blocks are looking like. Once we catch up, we will just follow her schedule.
I think it will be exciting and I hope you guys will follow along:) It will only be one block at a time, so it shouldn't be too overwhelming and the blocks look super cute and fun!
To check out The Virtual Quilting Bee, click on the badge or picture above! This will help you catch up on all the posts to prep you for the quilt along and show you all the finished blocks so far.
I have never done a quilt along before, so if you haven't either…Let's do it!
a quilting bee sounds like a lot of fun!
That sounds like a good idea. Will hope on over to Amy`s blog and check it out!
I've been participating in one of those recently. So fun to see what everyone is doing!
I was all gung-ho to do Amy's virtual bee, but then it kinda didn't happen. Too much other stuff going on, but it is good to know there are others getting a late start, so maybe I will still join in! Thanks for linking up with Let's Get Acquainted today!
Ok Paula, I'll play catch up with you!! I've never made a sampler quilt before and right now I feel like I could do with some random block piecing practice :D I think i'll be fun to play catch up together – how many blocks have you got done so far, do i need to get motoring?!
I'm in. I've never done this before…but I'll try to stay with you as soon as I get my fabric. I looked at the blocks on Flickr, and many of them are very stunning with rich contract color pallets.

Hemozoin
Hemozoin is a disposal product formed from the digestion of blood by some blood-feeding parasites. Haematophagous organisms such as Malaria parasites (Plasmodium spp.), Rhodnius and Schistosoma digest hemoglobin and release high quantities of free heme, which is the non-protein component of hemoglobin.[1] A heme or haem is a prosthetic group that consists of an iron atom contained in the center of a large heterocyclic organic ring called a porphyrin. This process is much-studied in Plasmodium since it is an attractive target for developing drugs to treat malaria.
The monomeric and potentially toxic α-hematin (ferriprotoporphyrin IX) is detoxified by biocrystallization into insoluble, chemically inert ß-hematin crystals (hemozoin).[2] [3] Several mechanisms have been proposed for this reaction and the area is controversial, with membrane lipids,[4][5] histidine-rich proteins,[6] or even a combination of the two,[7] being proposed to catalyse the formation of hemozoin.
In ß-hematin a unique iron oxygen coordinate bond links the central iron of one heme to the oxygen of the carboxylate side chain of the adjacent heme. β-hematin can either be a cyclic dimer or a linear polymer [8], a polymeric form has never been found in hemozoin.[9] Hemozoin crystals have a distinct triclinic structure and are weakly magnetic. They also exhibit optical dichroism, which means that they absorb light more strongly along their length than across their width, and this allows the automated detection of malaria. Hemozoin is produced in a form that under the action of an applied magnetic field gives rise to an induced optical dichroism characteristic of the hemozoin concentration and precise measurement of this induced dichroism may be used to determine the level of malarial infection.

New St Lucia Labour Party PRO Julietta Gonzague (right) with Press Secretary to the Prime Minister Jadia Jn Pierre-Emmanuel.
Julietta Gonzague is the new public relations officer (PRO) of the Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP).
Gonzague, who up until recently taught at the Vide Boutielle Secondary School, is better known to the St .Lucian public as Julie Bee, the calypsonian. She has a bachelors degree in mass communications from Grambling State University.
At her inaugural press conference on Friday, the SLP PRO tackled a number of issues in the public domain including the findings of the Review on the use of Taiwanese Funds by the former United Workers Party (UWP) administration.
Gonzague accused the UWP of sidestepping the damning issues contained in the report.
In all of Allen Chastenet's arguments, she said, he has yet to respond to a revelation in the audit implicating him: the existence of five cheques totalling $38,644 which were used to fund his election campaign in Soufriere.
The UWP organization maintained that during its tenure funds were managed appropriately, however Gonzague pointed out that the audit's contents are clear as day, conducted by qualified individuals and substantiated by official documentation.
According to Gonzague, further audits are being undertaken into other social development activities, the results of which will be revealed at a later date.
Best wishes Julie, don't mind the negative comments, keep doing what you do best!
Jadia Jn. Pierre Emmanuel will now gain employment as an Economist at the Ministry of Agriculture. Who else will receive the job? I wonder why it is even being published on the government website!
It's a shame how pathetically divided the nation is. People would swear by a colour. Shame on you all. Elevate yourself and free your minds from the yellow and red. Don't insult the young lady she made a move as a young professional. For those asking if she will be making 8000 salary. She is the PRO for the SLP PARTY not the government of salary. Nothing to do with the public coffers. So please stop thinking in Red & Yellow ALL the time. I thank goodness I not involved in those SLP and UWP rubbish. That's why the country cant go anywhere. One day St. Lucians will free themselves of IGNORANCE and open their minds.
Then she should've worn a different colour...not red!
she made a move as a young "professional" and what she chose to do is become the propoganda mouth piece for a rediculous poltiical party? What becomes of her when the SLP is out of office and the funds run out to pay her? I would not consider this a smart move.
And Proud Lucian just becuase it is a woman does not mean that everyone should be supportive. Get over your gender base nonsense.
En rouge did not bring you any wealth as yet so shut up! How comes I don't see the lives of those who supported en rouge any different.
You talk about corruption, well corruption is also in the guise of Roacha smell, NCA, Helenites and grynberg. Add them about and you may total enough money to have fixed the country.
Very Happy for her..she is coming from humble beginnings and has always been articulate and brave..fyi who She is ot making 8000 and not even half..and I KNOW FOR SURE..DAMN FIGHT DOWNS...UWP NOT GIVING YOUNG PEOPLE OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THAT..INSTEAD YOU ALL APPLAUD YOU ALL FIGHTING DOWN..DUMB!
What is the relevance of her face or salary? Give the girl a chance to prove herself? Why Lucians like that and some of them when in the same position can't do any better? Get a life or rather try to improve what you have because its clearly not satisfying if you feel you have to put someone else down to get gratification.
So you have a Press Secretary, A Communications Attache and Now a PRO.. Jobs for the boys!!
Well Bachelor's in mass communication. Expect more crap from SLP.
They were not interested in Tom Chou why should they care how the money was spent.
These two young women are great representatives of the country. Congrats to both.
Nice face but won't make much of a difference as long as Leo Clarke and Cladius Francis are advising her.
Two little reds riding in the hood.
BUT WHO GIVES A DAMN.
so what if she is. She has her qualifications. You jealous or not?
if is 8grand for a PRO job I better get into journalism fast. lets b real. u talk about qualifications. when the PM said his own salary is 10grand. so her position is almost of same importance as the PM, she makin decisions for the country?? yall mus understand statements b4 u come and comment. she may hav d qualifications but is it an 8grand salary job? anyways b4 u reply with more non sense.

Stable Seas Piracy Survey
Please complete the Stable Seas Piracy Survey
In response to growing concerns about piracy and armed robbery in the Gulf of Guinea, BIMCO is working closely with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and Stable Seas, an international non-governmental organisation, to calculate the costs of maritime piracy and armed robbery in the Gulf of Guinea to West and Central African nations.
Gulf of Guinea
Unlike previous efforts to calculate the financial costs of piracy, which have focused primarily on costs borne by foreign militaries and international shippers, this report will highlight the costs to African governments and coastal communities over the last 10 years. Specifically, the goal of the report will be to estimate the economic costs to regional governments based on both altered shipping patterns and to document lost opportunities for economic growth and investment in the maritime sector. It is expected that this report will support new diplomatic efforts in the UN and other agencies to eliminate the threat of piracy and armed robbery at sea in this region.
The short 5-minute survey in the attached link will provide important information and viewpoints from ship owners and operators. The results will be anonymous, but those who would like to add further information are encouraged to contact the researchers directly.
BIMCO hopes that you can participate in this important study.

Q: Do newer Ubuntu releases benefit from multicore processors at boot time? I've read the Upstart features and it says nothing about concurrency.
I also read old advices to set CONCURRENCY value in the /etc/init.d/rc
But there is a comment:

Specify method used to enable concurrent init.d scripts.
  Valid options are 'none', 'startpar' and 'makefile'. To enable
  the concurrent boot option, the init.d script order must allow for
  concurrency.  This is not the case with the default boot sequence in
  Debian as of 2008-01-20.  Before enabling concurrency, one need to
  check the sequence values of all boot scripts, and make sure only
  scripts that can be started in parallel have the same sequence
  number, and that a scripts dependencies have a earlier sequence
  number. See the insserv package for a away to reorder the boot
  automatically to allow this.

And the CONCURRENCY is set to none.
insserv is installed in my Ubuntu 11.04. But is it used?
My system is already amazingly fast because it's on the SSD. But I'd like to know if it uses all cores during boot.

A: Increasingly this setting is becoming meaningless as most services are launched by Upstart.  Only the scripts listed in /etc/init.d/ that are not symlinks are run as System V style init scripts.
Chkconfig is not very useful on newer versions of Ubuntu (10.04 on) because so many of the jobs are now run by Upstart.  Any error like the one you posted means bascially "this is an Upstart job, I can't do anything with it".  The symlinks in /etc/init.d are for your convenience and for compatibility with scripts that expect to start services with a command like /etc/init.d/acpid start.
The real startup script/job is /etc/init/acpid.conf.  Only the scripts in /etc/init.d that aren't links to /etc/init can be manipulated with commands like chkconfig or update-rc.d.
I don't expect there to be much speed difference at all with any setting you put in there. Upstart is already highly parallelized and it's doing by far most of the work booting your system.  To answer the headline question:  YES, the Ubuntu boot process is definitely taking advantage of multiple cores.
