Ensuring that you have an Enduring Power of Attorney is one of the most sensible and financially responsible things that you can do.
Circumstances can arise in which you may be unable to make decisions. about matters that are vitally important to you – matters such as your own finances and assets. These circumstances can arise due to illness, accident, the onset of advanced age or simply not being available at the time (for example, absent overseas).
An Enduring Power of Attorney enables you to appoint someone you know and trust to look after your assets and financial affairs. Decisions about personal and lifestyle matters are best made by a person appointed as an Enduring Guardian.
Without an Enduring Power of Attorney, another person may have to be . appointed by legal process to manage your affairs – including your financial affairs. This legal process can be avoided – and you can select the person(s) you want to handle your affairs – by having your own Enduring Power of Attorney.
An Enduring Power of Attorney is as essential as a legal Will.
Here at Meryllyn Page Conveyancing we help you to make a legal and valid Enduring Power of Attorney by taking you through each step and making sure that you understand as you go.


We have a MIDI device connecting to iOS devices using the generic USB (camera) adapter.
As of iOS 10.3 beta 1, on a 12.9" iPad Pro, we are getting the message "This accessory is not supported by this iPad"
Is this a known problem with the beta that will be fixed?
Has there been a change in how MIDI devices connect?
Yeah, I don't see the error message in Beta 2, but I do see the connector appearing & disappearing in Settings-->About. Thanks. Even with no MIDI device connected to the USB adaptor, the adaptor entry keeps cycling in Settings General About, so I'm guessing this is an Apple problem.
Lightning video adapters may not work as expected in this beta.
iOS 10.3 Beta 3 fixes it for me.
Yes, it also works in iOS 10.3 Beta 4. Thanks.
Are you sure? Did you tested for more than 2 minutes? For me with this beta doesn't work at all.
I still have a Problem with a Lightning to AUX Cable. I use this Cable in my Car to Play Apple Music Audio on my Radio. Works fine on my Girlfriends iPhone with iOS 10.2.1, worked well with my iPhone restored on 10.2.1 as a NEW iPhone, but does not work when i´m on 10.3 beta 5 with my Backup restored. After 1-3 Minutes the iPhone says "The accessory may not be certified." and the Music stops playing.
Anyone else with this Problem? I´m not willing to go back to 10.2.1 because all of my Backup Data will be lost.
I now have this same issue after installing the offical 10.3 update on my iPhone 7.
I use a lightning to 3.5mm male jack in my BMW to listen to music and audiobooks. The device has always worked prior to this update. Now it will play for a minute or so and then stop and say the accessory is not supported.
I installed 10.3 yesterday afgter it was officially released by Apple and now I'm having this issue with my AUX/Lightning cable.
Am I the only one? Can it be fixed?
I'm seeing the same issue - I have a lightning-to-3.5mm cable for my headphones and iphone 7+, it worked fine until I upgraded, now it will work for about 1.5 minutes after each phone reboot and then the "Not compatible with this iphone" message. Bit irritating that it works fine for a short while then just stops!
I've noticed that a few of these cables on Amazon now have a "Only compatible with iOS 10.2.3 and below" sticker on them, which suggests this is a widespread issue.
Included adapter still works ok, but a single cable looks so much neater.
I'm also having this issue. My client is going crazy because they are supporting end users who have a need to use their app with headphones, but the dongle they've been using doesn't appear to be working anymore.
and then got this message "This accessory is not supported by this iPad"
Depends. If it worked before, update your iPad. If not, the device might not be supported.
I have a little Korg that I used to plug and play. Uploaded to iOS 10.3.1 and started getting 'not supported' message about 3 minutes after connecting every time. I called Apple support few times to see if their next update will fix it and got a bunch of rubbish in broken English. Very unhappy with this update! I don't understand what is not supported: the adapter, or the midi its self?
I started having the exact same issue since the 10.3.1 update (I can use the MIDI adaptar and then I get the "not supported" message after some 2 minutes). Since the adapter actually works -as it did flawlessly until this bloody update!- it is obiously an easily fixable issue. Apple people: many of us pay lots of many for apps and gadgets to use our ipads in music creation. It is actually one of the functions you've been promoting the most recently. We need an urgent fix, please!
Hi - I was just curious if you're still running into this problem after downloading the newest update?
I had the exact same issue and my Yamah keyboard wasn't working with two Midi-to-USB cables I had.
I contacted Apple support last week and didn't get much satisfaction except that they recommended an IK Multimedia Irig MIDI 2 cable set. It is not cheap, but I got one and it works perfectly now. It seems only this cable is just about the only "Made for iPad" MIDI adapter out there.
I've got the exact same problem since 10.3.1. The lightning>3,5mm-adapter works great for about 1,5-3 minutes then giving me the "not supported"-error.
I am trying to use Blue Yeti USB microphone with my iPhone 7 and iPad Pro, recording using Garageband. Both iOS are up to date. Sometimes, it works after plugging in with a third-party Lightening to USB adaptor, but after a minute or less, I get the accessory not supported message. I then connected via a powered USB hub, sadly the same result. I was planning to get an Apple made adaptor and try again but seeing all these messages, perhaps it's not about the cable.
really sad that this is still going on. I'm installing the latest iOS 10.3.2 update now to see if this helps. But my generic USB-Lightning adapter hasn't worked with my Blue Yeti mic for recording in ages. Its caused me to cancel subscriptions for apps that I specifically purchased to use with my mic.
The latest update does not fix this.
IOS 10.3 and above has this problem. Yes, including IOS 11 beta. Tested using 2 original apple adapters: Samson Carbon 61 Midi Keyboard Korg Nanopad 2 Akai LPD8 A few more Roland and Yamaha Keyboards that have midi output. People saying one of the betas have fixed it probably didn't use Midi long enough because the "accessory is not supported" message doesn't pop up until about 1-2 minutes. The last working IOS was 10.2.1 Devices used: iPhone 7 Plus iPhone 6 iPhone 5s iPad Mini 2 (None of these are jailbroken) Apps used: Neo Soul Keys Garageband iGrand iMPC Pro All of these used to work. Apple is screwing over musicians with this problem.
Happend to buy an Ipad Air and accessory USB Camera Adapter worked fine together with Active USB Hub to surf on Internet via Ethernet (IOS 10.2.1), but AppleStore would take ages, so i upated to next Version (seems 10.3) and Ethernet is works only for a minute or so afterwards it gets "This Accessory is not supported" and no Internet via Ethernet on Ipad until next reboot.
Will try out the new USB 3 Lightnung Camera Adapter , maybe that one makes a difference.
Someone could solve this?? This is drive me crazy! Stupid apple.
Still waiting on a response from Apple on this issue. Can we get an update?
Just got my new Korg Microkey2 37 midi controller which stated to be supported by ipad/iphone, with the CCK it works for 1-2 min and stop working with the error message "This Accessory is not supported."
I believe it shouldn't be the power issue but IOS related issue, Apple, please fix it.
I'm using IPad Air 2 with IOS 10.3.2.
Hi there. Same issue here. My iPad mini 2 worked great with a Keystation88 midi keyboard, via USB to lightning generic adapter (not original). iOS was 9.3.x. I moved to another house, so I´ve been several months without using the iPad. When started again using it, I upgraded the iOS as recommended the iPad settings update notifications. And now... the keyboard works just for some seconds (20 or 30 seconds) and it stops with the message "The device is not supported by this iPad", or something like that.
Apple people, please... are you serious? I bought the iPad just for making music purposes... and a simple midi keyboard is not working??!!
And worst of all, it seems apple is not worrying about it, since I´ve read a little above that iOS 11 beta still has this error.
Apple this is killing me!!! FIX FIX FIX FIX FIX FIX FIX!!!!
How long do we have to wait? You know the issues thousands of us are having. Why has this not even be addressed in iOS 11? I've invested hundreds of dollars in apps and peripheral devices and a couple updates makes my music rig unuseable!
And to be clear once I leave iOS I won't be coming back. I don't think I will be alone either. I would feel differently if Apple would address the issues with some kind of clarification. There has been no official statement regarding the issues as far as i know. Bullocks!
I 'm also facing the same issue with my MIDI keyboard and a not original USB to lightning generic adapter. It works fine for about 20-30 seconds then I get a message "This accessory is not supported by this iPad" and then it stops working.
The adapter is obviously compatible! At least have the message say something honest like "This accessory is not an officially bought accessory" if that's the case, so I know where I stand the next time I will consider buying an Apple product.

Contributor: Solving the US Physician Diversity Problem
Vibhas Ratanjee
Camille Lloyd
The representation of Black physicians is alarmingly low, but the opportunities for change are possible and urgent. Health care leaders and human resource departments need to address these disparities, and increasing diversity among their workforce is an excellent place to begin.
A 2021 UCLA study published in Journal of General Internal Medicine recently declared that the percentage of Black physicians in the United States has remained essentially unchanged for the past 120 years.
Only 5% of US doctors identify as Black.
Recent polling from the Gallup Center on Black Voices highlights the future implications of this paltry level of representation in arguably one of the essential professions in society.
Our research found that adults from racial and ethnic minority groups are far more likely to report that they struggle to find a doctor who shares their racial or ethnic background in the area where they live: 53% of Black Americans and 39% of Hispanic Americans say it is very or somewhat difficult to do so compared with just 13% of White Americans.
Gallup's data show that those who say it is difficult to find a doctor who shares their background give lower ratings of their health care experiences and are more likely to report experiencing discriminatory actions during a health care encounter. That pattern undermines trust in the health care system among people from racial and ethnic minority groups, which leads to less utilization of preventive health care and, ultimately, worse health outcomes.
Indeed, Black Americans also experience some of the worst health outcomes of any racial group, as evidenced by Black men having the shortest life expectancies and Black women having the highest maternal mortality rates.
Health care leaders and human resource departments need to address these disparities. Increasing diversity among their workforce is an excellent place to begin. A diverse staff benefits employees and organizations, and diversity, especially among physicians, holds profound implications for patient experiences and outcomes.
Build the Pipeline
Diversity usually requires building a strong pipeline, but the number of active residents in medical colleges in 2020 who were Black was a mere 5.5%, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges. Moreover, an August 2020 study published in JAMA Network Open found that none of the 30 new medical schools and colleges established since 2000 are at historically Black colleges or universities (HBCUs).
Changing these trends demands an overhaul of medical practice and medical academics. It also requires a radical shift in prevailing mental models—that physicians are mainly White doctors in white coats.
Vibhas Ratanjee is a senior practice expert with Gallup, based in Gallup's Irvine, California office.
Developing a more robust pipeline of Black physicians starts with unlocking opportunities, breaking biases, and reframing mental models. This reframing needs to start early—even in middle school—through education, role modelling, outreach, and a learning environment that empowers Black students, particularly in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) disciplines.
Black Americans are underrepresented in those fields. So much must be done to promote these as possible educational pathways for Black children. A learning environment and a support system that is open, inclusive, and transparent reinforces the belief that anything is possible.
Organizational leaders might well point to a lack of diverse candidates as a problem for medical schools to solve instead. But health care leaders have influence, such as representation on committees and in forums where critical decisions are made, that can affect the pipeline of Black physicians and health care leaders. They can also support future Black physicians by promoting and increasing their visibility while actively mentoring and coaching Black residents in their organizations.
Make Key Experiences Count
It is a known fact that positive and negative experiences shape leadership character. Perhaps few know this more than Black men and women. Many can attest that grit and adversity have shaped their very lives, purpose, and perspectives.
Further, most Black physicians have experienced being tokens or one of few of their racial and ethnic backgrounds in the medical schools they attended. Many have suffered microaggressions, inequity, open hostility, and negativity. These inequities continue in the workplace.
During the COVID-19 crisis, many have lost their lives—at least 107 Black health care workers, according to a Scientific American estimate. A November 2020 Kaiser Family Foundation study reports that over half of the health care workers who contracted SARS-CoV-2 were people of color.
But adversity is also a great teacher. As Martin Luther King Jr. famously said, "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
Camille Lloyd is the executive director of the Gallup Center on Black Voices.
Black students, physicians, and health care workers must intentionally identify such breakthrough moments to help them grow. These essential experiences are events in a leader's life that result in learning and increased capacity to lead effectively.
A Gallup piece in collaboration with the Allegheny Health Network identified 6 discrete experiences—all of which are relevant to developing future Black physicians and health care leaders—that can help physicians grow their leadership impact:
Early participation and involvement in committees can give Black residents a voice and increase their visibility and exposure. This is critical, as organizations would greatly benefit from amplifying Black voices in future policy decisions, patient-centricity, and innovation efforts.
Involvement in cross-functional projects and professional networking can give Black health care employees a larger view of the system—exposure they will not get inside an organizational silo. Forums and organizations such as Society of Black Academic Surgeons and Association of Black Women Physicians are important organizations that encourage networking and learning.
Out-of-expertise skill-building or involvement in new initiatives can help Black health care employees gain additional skills, including administration, teaming, and leadership. Those skills are essential but may not be acquired during a residency.
Great mentors can help push Black residents and Black health care employees out of their comfort zone. Cross-race mentoring can further help health care employees form diverse views and perspectives. Considering the lack of Black representation among senior physicians, White physicians must be more than allies—they must be coaches, mentors, sponsors, and advocates.
Reimagine the Black Employee Experience
The much-touted Great Resignation might not affect employees of different ethnicities equally. Many Black employees may stay in toxic environments for lack of better opportunities. Black health care employees may stay despite facing severe challenges precipitated by the pandemic. A Gallup-West Health survey in 2021 showed that Black workers were 50% more likely to stay in unwanted jobs than White workers, fearing they might lose their employer-sponsored health insurance.
Employee assistance programs; cultural competence; developing "safe spaces"; redrafting diversity, equity, and inclusion policies; or setting quotas for hires from traditionally underrepresented groups might help. But as long as an intentional focus on developing and engaging Black employees is not part of the Black employee experience, health care organizations will continue to see low representation and disengagement amongst racially diverse employees.
Ensuring that Black health care employees are engaged and thriving is key to retaining them. This requires a focus on what Black employees need through the entire employee experience—from attraction, hiring, and onboarding to development, performance management, and even exit management.
Health care organizations must confront racial bias in hiring physicians and other health care workers. The attraction strategy and employee value proposition should actively communicate what the employee experience promises to Black employees' growth and development, and importantly, organizations must live up to those promises. The hiring process must be reimagined to include a broader spectrum of residents from traditional medical colleges and HBCUs.
This could even mean that curriculum vitaes or talent reviews must be anonymized to eliminate chances of biases. Engagement efforts should ensure that Black employees can be themselves rather than conform to the cultural norms and expectations long embedded in the culture of health care.
A focus on development should also be inclusive, and the best way to do that is to ensure that organizations track key diversity metrics for diverse employees. Those typically include representation metrics, but engagement, health, and well-being metrics or meaningful development and promotion data are also vital key performance indicators. So is tracking the number of Black physicians promoted to key leadership positions or into future-critical specialty practice areas.
Equity in Physician Development
Research has consistently shown that people with diverse ethnic identities have unfavorable social determinants, such as education, housing, overall well-being, and human flourishing. Lack of physician diversity will lead to further health disparities, as there is a direct link between a lack of Black physicians and the health struggles of Black people in the United States.
But these disparities have grown from complex inequities over millennia. It is possible to break this cycle of systemic racism in health care. It would require a coordinated effort from academic institutions, medical colleges, health care providers, and the government.
The outcome is clear: More Black patients can find a Black physician if they choose to. And along with that doctor, a sense of comfort, a feeling of respect, fulfilment of their specific health care needs, and eventually their overall well-being. The representation of Black physicians is alarmingly low, but the opportunities for change are possible and urgent.

Aviation crisis looms over planned demolition of FAAN, NAMA offices
There are plans by the federal government to demolish the headquarters annexes of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and the Nigerian Airspace Management…

There are plans by the federal government to demolish the headquarters annexes of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) with looming industrial unrest as aviation workers hold a congress today.
The Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika recently hinted at the demolition of the offices for the planned Aerotropolis (Airport City), one of the projects under the aviation roadmap.

FCTA begins rehabilitation of Federal Secretariat with N8bn
This is barely seven months after demolishing the headquarters of the N5 billion Accident Investigation Bureau – Nigeria at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) for apron extension at the new MMIA terminal. Although the apron is yet to be extended, hindering wide-bodied aircraft from landing at the terminal, AIB has been in Abuja.
Some workers said because the agencies are yet to get befitting offices in Abuja since 2020 when they were asked to relocate to Abuja, barely 30 percent have relocated.
He disclosed that a proposed airport city was designed to link the old airport with the new airport by rail and the government will develop all the areas where FAAN, NAMA, and others currently have their structures.
Former Commandant of the MMIA, Group Capt. John Ojikutu (retd), expressed shock over the plan.
He said the land on the western part of the airport within Shasha, Egbeda, etc that has been encroached upon should have been used for any aerotropolis.
A staff member of FAAN said, "This is exactly what we are hearing about the demolition but we don't want to believe it. But the unions are shutting down tomorrow (today)."
Another worker said, "As I am talking to you, we don't have an office in Abuja. They just pursued us from Bisau Street, Zone 6."
At the open congress today, the unions will discuss the planned demolition at the Freedom Square FAAN headquarters in Lagos, according to a notice.
"I see the demolition plan as part of a grander plan to cap¬ture or conquer the national assets with a certain deadline that appears to be at hand in mind. But, we shall resist it. And by God's grace we shall overcome," General Secretary of the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE), Comrade Aba Ocheme said.

Residential School Cemetery In Regina Granted Heritage Status
Marc P. Klijnsmit October 4, 2016
CP | By Jennifer Graham, The Canadian Press
Posted: 10/02/2016 4:36 pm EDT Updated: 10/03/2016 2:52 pm EDT
REGINA — Along a dusty gravel road on the edge of Regina is a small plot of land surrounded by a rail fence with peeling white paint, weathered teddy bears, flowers and a couple of dream catchers.
There's just one headstone in the 680-square-metre cemetery for the two children of Rev. A.J. McLeod, the first principal of the Regina Indian Industrial School, belying that dozens of indigenous children from the school are buried there too.
"It's easy to overlook the cemetery itself. Even when I first came out here, we drove right by," said Janine Windolph, president of the Regina Indian Industrial School Commemorative Association.
"The site needs to take another step further in basically acknowledging the students that are here and how we can start making it more apparent that this is a scared site for gathering. That'll all come in time."

A big step came Sept. 26, when Regina city council voted unanimously to grant the site municipal heritage status. Civic administrators suggested the move after a 2014 land survey found there were potentially 22 to 40 unmarked graves of children in the cemetery.
Windolph said an archeologist for the association identified 36 anomalies, but she said there could be many more children because it was practice at the time to bury several together.
Sakimay First Nations Chief Lynn Acoose, whose grandmother attended the Regina Indian Industrial School, said the heritage designation process has been emotional.
"It's not only about preserving the memory. It's not only about preserving the site and the graves. We need to also, from this tragedy, create something powerful and good out of the loss of these children," said Acoose.
Thousands of children died in residential schools
The Regina Indian Industrial School operated between 1891 and 1910. An unknown number of students died there.
Justice Murray Sinclair, who led the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, has estimated at least 6,000 children died at residential schools but it's impossible to say with certainty.
The federal government stopped recording the deaths around 1920 after the chief medical officer at Indian Affairs suggested children were dying at an alarming rate.
"It's not only about preserving the site and the graves. We need to also, from this tragedy, create something powerful and good out of the loss of these children."
Residential schools were often crowded, poorly ventilated and unsanitary. Children died from smallpox, measles, influenza and tuberculosis. Some were buried in unmarked graves in school cemeteries, while others were listed as "missing" or "discharged." In some cases, parents never found out what happened.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission's offices are now closed and the work has been transferred to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation in Winnipeg.

Centre director Ry Moran said the designation in Regina "is just exactly what needs to be happening."
"It means that one city in particular has really stepped up and honoured the children that are buried in that cemetery," said Moran.
"And sadly, across this country, there are many, many, many other locations exactly like the one in Regina. So the fact that we're seeing the city designate this site as a commemorative site, really I think can help encourage other cities and other jurisdictions to take a real hard look at this work that needs to happen across the country."
Moran said preliminary estimates suggest there could be around 400 burial sites across the country directly associated with a residential school or where residential school children are likely were buried.
"Sadly, across this country, there are many, many, many other locations exactly like the one in Regina."
He said the centre recently looked at the cemetery associated with the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School in Kenora, Ont.
"That's a really good example of a site where we know there's kids buried there, but it's heavily overgrown," said Moran.
"We know that there's graves likely outside of the cemetery as well, and that's just one of many examples of a cemetery that's really been forgotten and a critical part of our history being ignored and disrespected, truthfully."
The work is not done for Windolph. She would also like to see the Regina cemetery get provincial heritage designation.
She said it marks a pivotal point in history — the time where cultural and identity loss began.
"And so, in order to start our healing journey, we have to go back to that point where this happened. We have to make good out of our past and simply acknowledge it is the beginning of that journey."

Germany's top official for human rights was due to visit Tibet Wednesday for a dialogue with Chinese counterparts after being denied permission to visit the heavily policed northwestern region of Xinjiang.
"I am shocked by reports of the treatment of the Turkic Uighur minority," Kofler's statement said. She said she would "continue to push for permission to visit Xinjiang soon."
Uighurs have long reported economic, political and cultural discrimination at the hands of the country's majority Han Chinese, but the last two years have seen a monumental ramping up of repression that has sparked the beginnings of an international backlash.
Kofler's statement said that conditions in Tibet give her "great cause for concern" due to restrictions on traditional Buddhist culture and "excessive controls." She travels to the Himalayan region late Wednesday and will take part in the dialogue on Thursday and Friday.

Q: Getting error when using and or statement in my expression? I am trying to do an and/or statement for a field in my report, and I am getting an error. If I just do the one without the "or" is works fine. Is there a different way I need to code this?
=IIf(Fields!NOP.Value = "1","Consulting Fee","") or IIf(Fields!NOP.Value = "3","Honoraria","")

A: From what I've been able to tell there is no formal "OR" statement in SSRS expressions, what you might try is a switch:
=Switch(Fields!NOP.Value = "1", "Consulting Fee", Fields!NOP.Value = "3","Honoraria")

A: Nested IIF statements should work:
=IIF(Fields!NOP.Value = "1", "Consulting Fee", IIF(Fields!NOP.Value = "3", "Honoraria", ""))

The integration of 3D modeling techniques is often advantageous for obtaining the most complete and useful object coverage for many application areas. In this paper, terrestrial laser scanning and digital photogrammetry were combined for the purposes of modelling a geological outcrop at Castle Creek, British Columbia, Canada. The outcrop, covering approximately 2.5 km², comprised a smooth, scoured surface where recent glacial retreat had left the underlying sedimentary rocks exposed. The outcrop was of geological interest as an analogue to existing hydrocarbon reservoirs, and detailed spatial data were required to be able to map stratigraphic surfaces in 3D over the extent of the exposure.
Aerial photogrammetry was used to provide a 2.5D digital elevation model of the overall outcrop surface. However, because the sedimentary strata were vertically orientated, local vertical cliffs acted as cross-sections through the geology, and these were surveyed using a terrestrial laser scanner and calibrated digital camera. Digital elevation models (DEMs) created from both methods were registered and merged, with the fused model showing a higher fidelity to the true topographic surface than either input technique. The final model was texture mapped using both the aerial and terrestrial photographs, using a local triangle reassignment to ensure that the most suitable images were chosen for each facet.
This photorealistic model formed the basis for digitising the geological surfaces in 3D and building up a full 3D geocellular volume using these surfaces as input constraints. Because of the high resolution and accuracy of the input datasets, and the efficacy of the merging method, it was possible to interpret and track subtle surface separations over the larger extents of the outcrop.

I recorded this episode of the podcast soon after inputting our financial data into weekly spreadsheets to help us track our finances.
For those who have the discipline of managing their money this may seem like a small thing but to me, this is a big deal and something to celebrate.
My goal now is to make sure that I develop this habit of tracking/managing our finances on a weekly basis.
One of the big thing I have learnt during this process of just inputting the data into the spreadsheet is that it helps open your eyes to where you have been wasting money.

If you need to find a new trailer for your truck, there are several different methods you can use to locate trailers for sale. One of the best methods to use is to search through the classified ads in your local paper. Oftentimes people will place their old trailers that they no longer need for sale in the classified ads. Regularly searching through these ads is a great way to find a good deal on a trailer for sale as people will often list their trailers at a discounted price to make sure that it sells quickly.
Another good way to find a trailer for sale is to search online. Just like the newspaper, the internet has several classified ads that can be accessed from the comfort of your own home. Searching through these online classifieds should result in several different trailers for sale, allowing you to inquire about the one that looks to be in the best shape or fits your budget the best. Once you find a trailer for sale that you can afford, you can send a quick email to the owner asking any questions you may have, making the whole process of finding a trailer for sale online quick and easy.

Josh Davis, Jonathan Alder Defensive Tackle
Josh Davis, the Ohio Defensive Tackle prospect from Jonathon Alder High School has had interest from a number of big programs in the Midwest with many junior visits. Watching the 6'6" 270 lbs nose tackle's film makes you realize why colleges are recruiting him early. He can get into the backfield quickly or clog up the middle of the line of scrimmage on any down that he wants to. Whatever school is able to get his college commitment will have a solid tackle four years to come.
Film: Josh Davis - Jonathan Alder 2010
Davis recently told us about his ability to lead on the field and off the field. "I'm a leader not only on the field but in the weight room and in class." he said this week. "I've been told by every coach that I've have had, that I'm very coachable."
Local NFL product Mike Furrey was in town over the off-season awaiting a new contract and Davis got a chance to workout with the Central Ohio legend. "The highlight of my high school career was lifting with Mike Furrey." he reported about the event.
For his junior year, Davis put up some very impressive numbers from his nose tackle position "74 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries." Jonathan Alder finished 8-2 in a decent season for the Pioneers.
During this past year, he has been invited to seven different campuses and made visits multiple times to a couple. "I've been on several college visits: Ohio State 3 times (two football games and a bowl practice), Illinois 2 times (football games), Northwestern bowl practice, Cincinnati football game, Wisconsin football game, Notre Dame Junior Day, Indiana Junior Day. Most of the visits were very interesting and informative. Some of the visits were very entertaining, positive, and left a good impression, while others seemed not so interesting." One of his most memorable visits was to Ohio State for the Michigan game were a large group of high school prospects watched the game from the field.
He has a long list of questions about each program that he'll use to evaluate the schools before making a final selection. "First thing I look at in a college is what kind of place it is: What kind of academics does the school have? Do I think I can fit in to it? What are the people like? Then I look at their football program: What are the coaches like? What are the players like? Where would I fit into the team? What are the chances of making it to the next level?"
"Many schools have shown interest so far." He told us about potential offers. "The schools that have been out to my school to collect transcripts are: Northwestern, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Cincinnati. Others have also called the coach and said that they are very interested as well."
The school that lands the dominate tackle will be the one with the coaches he feels most comfortable with. "The thing I like most about my favorite schools is the relationship that I have with the coaches." he explained.

Community and Island Values
Our charity helps care for the Island, protecting and enhancing its ecology and heritage, its simplicity and peacefulness. We welcome others from the wider community to visit and to get involved.
The Island lies within the takiwa of Te Runaka ō Otakou and their mana whenua is recognised.
1. Ecological Restoration
We have many ecological projects that are restoring the Island's biodiversity. The Island was once completely bush-clad, but the forest was cut down to make way for quarantine buildings and farming. One of our projects is to re-establish diverse native vegetation over much of the Island. Gradually we are replanting the steeper slopes or fencing them off from stock to allow passive restoration. We are planting seedlings endemic to the area, and also raise seeds in our shadehouse.
We control weeds and mammalian pests, as this also supports biodiversity.
Click here to find out more about how you can get involved.
Little Shags nest on the Island, especially on the side facing Portobello, below the Lodge and Cottage. 'Otago Shags' roost on the other side of the Island, on the rocks above Nichols Passage. This is a rare type of shag, with a nesting population of about 70 birds (of less than 2500 in the World/Otago).
2. Heritage
Quarantine Island/Kamau Taurua is listed as a Historic Area with Heritage NZ (List No. 7503 7 December 2001). While all the Island is listed, there are 8 recorded specific archaeological sites: the shipwrecks – Oreti and Waikana, the wharf and causeway, remains of the flagpole, foundations of the first and second hospitals, the cemetery, the Quarantine Station, and midden exposures. Quarantine Station buildings include the Married Quarters building; the original Keeper's cottage (now called the St Martin Lodge); the remains of the two hospitals, notably the brick chimney of the second hospital; the dining room and kitchen area and an ablutions block.
The Community seek to honour the history of the Island, both Maori and European, and to share this with visitors. A major project, taking over 20 years, has been to save and restore the Married Quarters Building (1873). . We thank and acknowledge the many supporters here.
Work has also been done to protect the hospital chimney from further deterioration, and to minimise moisture in the rammed-earth chapel.
Current projects are to improve interpretation, including about the island's significance for Ngai Tahu; making an electronic version of Lyndall Hancock's Quarantine Island/Kamau Taurua- a Short History, which was published originally in 2008; and to update our website, trail maps and visitor guides (2019-2020).
The Community values the concept of sustainability. We try to ensure that the residents and visitors on the Island follow the guidelines established by the NZ Sustainable Households project supported by the Ministry for the Environment.
The Community also hopes at some stage to install appropriate solar and wind energy equipment, partly to encourage interest in these technologies by allowing visitors to use them, as well as to improve our own energy management.
Wherever possible, the Community purchases goods which are produced using sustainably managed resources. The Island is currently the only certified 'Trade Aid' island in New Zealand.
Conservation Ideas are welcome, current ideas include simple practical measures – better insulation, less hot water use, to more ambitious ideas: wind, solar, methane or tidal power.
Hear an interview with Francine Vella 'Sustainable Living on Quarantine Island ' on 'Eco living in action' 6/8/2015.
Our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and intentions for reducing them are here: quarantine-island-emissions. The largest source of emissions are the sheep, they have been retained to reduce the grass and associated fire risk. Other options e.g. low emission mowing are being investigated. Indeed even a fossil-fueled mower would have much lower emissions than sheep.
4. Social Justice
The Community work as a group, or as individuals, or with other groups to promote social justice.
As part of an ongoing commitment to support people facing disadvantage, we have hosted some groups from refugee backgrounds for short holidays and visits on the Island.
Opposition to Deep-sea Oil prospecting
The Community has joined the nation-wide campaign saying 'no' to drilling for fossil fuels. There are many reasons. Shell, Anadarko and the other fossil fuel companies already have enough discovered reserves on their books to push global warming to five times beyond two degrees – the so-called 'safe' limit that world governments have agreed to. Beyond two degrees the climate will become increasingly unstable.
We know we are very dependent on fossil fuels now; this needs to change for the good of future generations – we seek to reduce our own carbon footprint and call for investment in a low carbon economy. This is where we want to see job creation; not in a dead end industry. Deep sea drilling also poses grave risks to our beautiful environment, industries, and quality of life.
Message to Anadarko from Peter Matheson from a protest boat (2014, President).
5. Spirituality
Nature and people have always been very important to us. Openness to others, social justice and a closeness to the earth underpin the spirituality of the community. Incorporated in 1958 as the 'St Martin Island Community Inc' as a Christian Community with the motto "Work and Worship", we have expanded to accept and embrace many beliefs and cultures and welcome the stimulation and growth they bring to the community.
There is much warmth, humour, sharing and support in the times we come together, whether for meals, meetings, community work times or spiritual retreats. Our love of the Island and our desire to live in a peaceful community is expressed in our belief that our work together is love and mindfulness in action.
The Island Community was initially named in honour of St Martin of Tours, a colourful 4th century French bishop, who taught by example that work and worship belong together and who was known for his piety, kindness, his emphasis on work and worship, and his outreach in establishing new communities.
The name used for over 50 years 'St Martin' lives on in the renamed 'St Martin Lodge'. The community was renamed 'Quarantine Island/Kamau Taurua Community (Incorporated)' in 2015.

Flashback: Hawaii Elections Official Swears That No Obama Long Form Birth Certificate Exists
Dean Garrison March 9, 2019
From the Archives: Originally Published July 21, 2013
Tim Adams, former Hawaii Senior Elections Clerk, signed a sworn affidavit back in 2011 that no long-form Hawaii Birth Certificate exists for Barack Obama and no proof exists that he was born in a Hawaiian hospital. Adams was employed at the City and County of Honolulu Elections Division from May 2008 through September 2008.
In a sworn affidavit dated and witnessed on January 20, 2011 Adams states, "Senior officers in the City and County of Honolulu Elections Division told me on multiple occasions that no Hawaii long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate existed for Senator Obama in the Hawaii Department of Health and there was no record that any such document had ever been on file in the Hawaii Department of Health or any other branch or department of the Hawaii government."
In addition to the lack of a genuine Hawaii long-form birth certificate Adams notes that there was no evidence that Obama was born at any Hawaiian hospital.
Senior officers in the City and County of Honolulu Elections Division further told me on multiple occasions that Hawaii State government officials had made inquires about Sen. Obama's birth records to officials at Queens Medical Center and Kapi'olani Medical Center in Honolulu and that neither hospital had any record of Senator Obama having been bom there, even though Governor Abercrombie is now asserting and various Hawaii government officials continue to assert Barack Obama, Jr. was born at Kapi'olani Medical Center on Aug. 4, 1961.
Adams swore in his statement that the corruption ran deep and Hawaiian officials were working with Obama for purely political reasons. He stated, "During the course of my employment, I came to understand that for political reasons, various officials in the government of Hawaii, including then-Governor Linda Lingle and various officials of the Hawaii Department of Health, including Dr. Chiyome Fukino, the director of the Hawaii Department of Health, were making representations that Senator Obama was born in Hawaii, even though no government official in Hawaii could find a long-form birth certificate for Senator Obama that had been issued by a Hawaii hospital at the time of his birth."
Again, all of this transpired back in 2011, almost two years before the November 2012 elections and my bet is that 80% of our readers have never heard this story.
Tim Adams is just one man and it is his word against many who would dispute his claims. There is a major difference between Adams side of the story and those who would refute it. Adams has more proof on his side than those who would support the validity of the White House provided birth certificate.
Barack Obama's Hawaii birth certificate has proven to be a fraud by forensic examiners. No one has been able to provide a real birth certificate and it's been nearly 5 years since Barack Obama took office. This is the perhaps the greatest fraud in the history of American politics.
Note: Video That Was Part Of The Original Report In 2013 Has Since Been Removed From YouTube

The Fortnightly 40 Best Energy Companies

A reshuffling of the rankings. Is nuclear the cause?

As this year's Fortnightly 40 was going to press, presenting our unique analysis of the nation's best-performing energy companies, financial markets in the U.S. and around the world were reeling. Stock prices were gyrating up and down - but mostly down - in the face of three fundamental uncertainties: 1) the health of China's economy, 2) the fate of Greece as an economic player in Europe, and 3) the chance that the Federal Reserve might begin soon to put the gas pedal to U.S. interest rates.
And utility stock prices could claim no immunity against these apparent threats to worldwide economic stability. The Dow Jones Utility Index, up about 28 percent in calendar year 2014, was down about 11 percent for 2015, through the end of August.
But therein lies the beauty of the Fortnightly 40 - now in its tenth consecutive year as a closely watched tool for judging economic efficiency. That's because the F40 listing ignores the day-to-day "noise of markets" by reflecting a four-year average (for the four calendar years that precede the year of publication) of some half-dozen basic financial indices, including an indicator that we label "Sustainable Growth," which is designed to ensure that today's performance has a reasonable chance of being duplicated tomorrow.

This table represents a selection of global metrics that we track within Shell. These metrics have been selected because they reflect the direct impact of Shell companies' operations on people and the environment. We used them to set our goals and measure progress in 2018 and to define priorities for 2019.
We review our metrics regularly to ensure we capture the information needed to improve our performance. For example, we introduced Goal Zero for personal safety at Shell in 2007. Since then, we have broadened the goal to aim for no harm to people and the environment. More information on our performance, definitions of the indicators and the referenced goals are provided in the environmental, social and safety data sections.
Achieve total recordable case frequency (TRCF) – the number of injuries per million working hours – of 0.7 or below for employees and contractors.
Goal Zero has been our ambition for personal safety since 2007.
The TRCF increased slightly to 0.9 compared with 0.8 in 2017, which was our lowest ever performance (see Safety performance).
Continue to focus on our three safety themes of care, dilemmas and risk normalisation in engagements with employees and contractors.
In road safety, continue to focus on effective implementation of proven practices across all lines of business, with an emphasis on improving management of fuel transport in high-risk countries.
Support the development and implementation of common industry safety standards.
Improve our capabilities to learn from audit findings and investigations into incidents with the potential to cause harm.
Reduce the number of operational leaks to 125 or below (classified as "operational Tier 1 & 2 process safety events").
Since 2011, we have extended our ambition of Goal Zero to process safety.
From 2017, we combined operational Tier 1 & 2 safety events when setting the target. Previously, we only used Tier 1 events.
The number of Tier 1 and 2 operational process safety events fell from 166 in 2017 to 121 in 2018 (see Safety performance).
Continue to focus on asset integrity and quality of operational execution by, among other things, embedding our Process Safety Fundamentals and the roll out of a group-wide asset management system.
Continue to improve learning from process safety events with high potential impact.
Goal Zero extends to the environment with our goal of no operational spills.
The number of operational spills fell from 104 in 2017 to 92 in 2018. The volume of operational spills of oil and oil products in 2018 was 0.8 thousand tonnes, an increase from 0.4 thousand tonnes in 2017 (see Environmental performance).
Continue to learn from incidents with spills to improve the reliability of our facilities and further reduce the number and volume of operational spills.
Continue to work with the oil and gas industry to further develop effective oil-spill response capacities.
Reduce flaring in our upstream business.
Our policy is to reduce flaring and venting to as low a level as is reasonably practical.
We are a signatory of the World Bank's Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative.
Our upstream flaring decreased to 5.2 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2018 from 8.2 million tonnes in 2017 (see Flaring).
Continue to link staff bonuses to the management of greenhouse gas emissions.
Further embedding the guiding principles for reducing methane emissions across the natural gas value chain, which Shell and seven other energy companies signed in November 2017.
Continue to focus on maintenance measures to enhance the reliability of our equipment and reduce emissions through leaks.
For our Upstream and Integrated Gas facilities, achieve a GHG intensity of 0.164 tonnes or below of CO2 equivalent per tonne of hydrocarbon production available for sale.
Our Upstream and Integrated Gas intensity was 0.158 tonnes CO2 equivalent per tonne of hydrocarbon production available for sale in 2018 compared to 0.166 in 2017.
Refinery GHG intensity in 2018 was 1.05 tonnes CO2e per UEDC compared to 1.14 in 2017.
For our chemical plants, reduce GHG intensity to 0.97 tonnes or below of CO2 equivalent per tonne of high-value petrochemicals produced.
Chemical GHG intensity was 0.96 tonnes CO2 equivalent per tonne of high value chemicals produced in 2018 compared to 0.95 in 2017.
Our community feedback mechanism (CFM) has been used to address community concerns since 2012. We continue to progress the implementation of our standard online community feedback tool, which helps to strengthen tracking and reporting of concerns.
We conducted a full evaluation of our online community feedback tool to understand how it has been used across our projects and facilities.
Following the evaluation, we identified a number of areas for improvement, which are now being considered to enhance the tool.
We developed the CFM self-check to assess the effectiveness of the mechanism for implementation in all major facilities and projects. The check is based on UN Guiding Principles and Human Rights criteria.
Enhance the online community feedback tool, based on the improvement areas we identified in 2018, such as user friendliness to ensure short response times. The improvements help to ensure we are able to effectively receive, assess and support assets and projects to respond quickly to concerns.
Identify further improvement opportunities from the self-check exercise for an effective implementation of CFM.

I live in a condo and space is very limited. As a result I haven't done much experimenting with starting seeds indoors so far. Over the last year I've been updating the Calendar on the Schnarr's Blog with planting times of some of the seeds that we sell in the store and a few others that I grow. My source for these planting times, indoor or outdoor, is using the average first and last frost dates for the St. Louis area as a guide along with the When to Plant App published by Mother Earth News. It's amazing how early some of these dates are. This year I want to see what kind of success I can have actually following the schedule and not just throwing some seeds in the ground when I have time!
Since I collect and save seeds from year to year, first I took inventory of what I have and used the Calendar as a guide to see when to start the seeds. Three of the seeds in my stash, Yucca filamentosa, Purple Coneflower and Columbine will be ready to plant indoors in mid-January. I refreshed my memory about starting seeds by reading some articles on the Dave's Garden web site.
When I get ready to plant, I'm going to make a page in my journal about each plant I'm attempting to sprout and make notes about what conditions the seeds require, then I will do my best to meet those requirements. I'm planning to make use of an aquarium that is currently empty to house some of the seeds. The aquarium light will act as both a light and heat source and the lid will help hold in moisture to create a mini-greenhouse. As an experiment, in an atrium in a building where I am renting a studio, I'm going to put some covered seed starter trays with some of the same species of seeds to see where they do better. I already have some of my house plants over there. Gardening involves a lot of trial and error – I will take good notes so in the future I will know what worked and what didn't.

Former Colts tight end Tom Mitchell dies at age 72

Tom Mitchell, a rugged tight end who helped the Colts win Super Bowl V in the 1970 season, died of cancer Sunday night at his home in Cape Coral, Fla. He was 72.
"Tom was a tremendous route-runner with fly-trap hands who wanted to win and who took no prisoners," said Bruce Laird, a Colts defensive back who played with Mitchell for two years.
John Mackey
In 1973, after having been ejected from back-to-back preseason games for fighting, he was named co-captain of the Colts along with Mike Curtis, the feisty All-Pro linebacker with whom Mitchell often went at it in practice.
"They fought at least twice every training camp," Laird said. "Mike was intimidating, but Tom took nothing off of anyone. He held his own in those battles, for sure."
In the heat of one battle, one player chomped down on the other, former Colts back Sam Havrilak recalled.
"I don't remember who bit who, but somebody lost a cap off his front tooth," said Havrilak, now a dentist in Parkville.
A 6-foot-3, 215-pounder, Mitchell attended Bucknell, as did Havrilak.
"Though he came from a small school, Tom could have played for any Division I college in the country," Havrilak said. "I remember a game against Temple, our rival, where he caught passes for more than 230 yards. He seemed to be a man among boys. He caught one touchdown pass where he lost his shoe on the 20-yard line, was hit several times, got turned around and ran the last 5 yards backwards, into the end zone."
Originally signed by the Oakland Raiders, who made him their third-round pick in the 1966 American Football League draft, Mitchell played one year. He signed with the Colts and spent the 1967 season on their band squad before making the roster.
Mitchell's style of play was much like that of former Ravens tight end Todd Heap, Havrilak said.
"Neither was afraid to give up his body to make a catch," he said. "He'd go over the middle and take the hit. Tom was extremely bright and quick-witted, once you knew him. Those who didn't cited an abrasive personality, but he just had a very large mean streak on the field."
In 1974, as part of general manager Joe Thomas' purge of Colts veterans, Mitchell was dealt to the San Francisco 49ers, with whom he played for four more seasons. Before leaving Baltimore, he opened a golf facility in Reisterstown. Established in 1972, off Route 140, it included a driving range, miniature golf course and a par-61 executive course. Mitchell sold it years later.
"Tom knew Interstate 795 was going to go through there, so he bought 53 acres and built the thing," Havrilak said. "He was smart — and he loved golf."
Mitchell is survived by his wife of 22 years, Patricia Mitchell; three daughters (Christy Schiano, of Columbus, Ohio, Bartley Dutton, of Denver, Colo., and Sara Pittman, of Cocoa Beach, Fla.); a son, Tom, of Encinitas, Cal.; and seven grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks friends to make donations to their local humane society.

When buying a home, it's important to be aware of the different types of home loans available for you. Today, we're going to break down conventional loans, the qualifications to get approved, and the benefits of using this type of loan.
This week we're breaking down what to expect in this year's market shift. We're also explaining the difference between a seller's, buyer's, and neutral market.
Welcome back to another 30-day market update! This month we decided to only focus on homes that were listed, went pending, and closed in the month of February and not the rollover listings.
This easy-to-follow For Sale By Owner (FSBO) script will help realtors get appointments with by-owner sellers. This script is very natural without resistance, forcing a closing, or being pushy.


In the general body meeting of the city corporation Belagavi, the councillors said in one tone that it is not possible for the cash strapped corporation to bear the 60 lakhs expenses per month of Indira Canteens.
The tax collections are meager and in such a situation spending on Indira canteens can hamper the regular developmental works. All said the idea of Indira canteens is good but the expenses should be met by the state govt it self and the burden should not be passed on to the local bodies.
Already the land for the same has been provided by the Corporation.


Parents can help support their kids to develop science inventions as an outlet for their creativity. Living with curious children can be challenging, but putting an old clock, appliance or stereo in their hands and allowing them to experiment in taking it apart can encourage them to come up with inventions using the parts. Kids who always seem to be inventing new ideas on their own could end up creating designs which have commercial value.
For example, Kathryn Gregory was only 10 years old when she invented Wristies in 1994. She got the idea for the novel wristbands after playing out in the snow and wondering how to keep her wrists protected from the cold in a better way. Kathryn became an entrepreneur after she patented the idea and started her own company.
Some science inventions were discovered by accident, such as the sweetener saccharin. This famous sweetener was accidentally invented by a chemist who didn't wash his hands after coming home from the office in 1879. He had coal tar on his hands, and noticed that when it rubbed off on his dinner rolls they tasted sweeter.
He went back to his lab the next day and began testing to isolate the ingredient in the coal tar which became the base ingredient in saccharin. Another accidental discovery that became famous is Coke, which was originally created by a pharmacist in Atlanta who was attempting to find a better cure for headaches. John Pemberton combined a number of ingredients into a recipe which to this day remains a closely guarded secret.
Of course, most science inventions are created through a series of steps that help the inventor organize their ideas to take the invention from a concept to a valuable, marketable asset. However, the success rate of being able to convert inventions into profitable products is not very high. This is not always because new inventions are not good ideas, but rather because many inventors lack the knowledge to convert their good idea into a product or how to market that product successfully.
As an inventor, it's wise to educate yourself on the process. The good news for inventors is that there is always a market for good ideas, and there is a lot of room for improvement of existing products and services on the market today.

Likud Israeli Arabs 2021 Elections
Nael Zoabi Likud
Nael Zoabi (49), a veteran educator who served as a school principal, will become the first Muslim Israeli citizen to join the Likud list for the upcoming Knesset elections and will be placed 39th on the list.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said that "a few weeks ago, I called in Nazareth for a new era for the Arab citizens of Israel, who are an integral part of Israeli society. Nael Zoabi will lead our efforts for the benefit of the Arab citizens of Israel from within the Likud: the implementation of our program to combat crime and violence, and the improvement of the lives of the Arab citizens of Israel in all areas - education, health and welfare."
"The Arab citizens of Israel come to the Likud because only the Likud under my leadership has brought them tremendous achievements: NIS 15 billion in investments, nine police stations and four historic peace agreements. We have a lot more to do for them and we will do it together. Arab citizens of Israel are tired of wasting their votes on opposition parties. Only the Likud is committed to improving their lives, and that is exactly what has been done," Netanyahu promised.
Nael Zoabi said: "I am very excited and proud to be part of the Likud movement. Thank you to Prime Minister Netanyahu for the trust and for the fact that in recent years he has done much for the Arab sector in Israel and their integration into society, and we are seeing the results on the ground."
"My integration in the Likud movement is an expression of trust in the Arabs of Israel. Israeli Arabs want to be part of the success and therefore also join the Likud and the ruling party. I pledge with all my might to serve the Arab and Jewish citizens of Israel alike, "Zoabi added.

Tony's Chocolonely wants to make all chocolate 100% slave free. Not just our chocolate, but all chocolate worldwide. Not exactly the average company, right? Instead a chocolate company whose primary goal is to resolve a social issue in the world.
In 2005, Tony's Chocolonely was founded by journalists of the Dutch TV-program "Food Unwrapped" when they discovered that the large chocolate manufacturers used cocoa from farms with children slaves at work. Since then, we have grown to be the number 1 chocolate brand in the Netherlands. Tony's Chocolonely wants to make people aware of the inequality in the chocolate industry, set the example that chocolate can be made differently and inspire the chocolate industry to make 100% slave free cocoa the norm in chocolate.
We are crazy about chocolate & serious about people. Our own people ahead. Because only with the most driven people we can reach our goals and make 100% slave-free the norm in chocolate. That is why we put our team first. We want to be the best employer an employee can wish for. We invest in personal development, reward initiative and create a very pleasant work environment. Equality, solidarity, lots of fun and performance are central to this. At the moment we are 77 Tony's strong, of whom 70 work at Tony's HQ in Amsterdam (the Netherlands) and 7 at Tony's Office in Portland Oregon (in the US). There are also 15 superstars that work in Tony's Super Store in the heart of Amsterdam. And at the moment we're building a team from scratch in London to start to move it 'n grove it in the UK!
