Empire, Civil Society, and the Beginnings of Colonial Education in India
This book tells a story of radical educational change. In the early nineteenth century, an imperial civil society movement promoted modern elementary 'schools for all'. This movement included British, American and German missionaries, and Indian intellectuals and social reformers. They organised themselves in non-governmental organisations, which aimed to change Indian education. Firstly, they introduced a new culture of schooling, centred on memorisation, examination, and technocratic management. Secondly, they laid the ground for the building of the colonial system of education, which substituted indigenous education. Thirdly, they broadened the social accessibility of schooling. However, for the nineteenth century reformers, education for all did not mean equal education for all: elementary schooling became a means to teach different subalterns 'their place' in colonial society. Finally, the educational movement also furthered the building of a secular 'national education' in England.

Ex-King star Pierre-Louis finishes second in ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year voting
Pierre-Louis second in ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year voting
Danny O'Brien has become Maryland's first Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Year. And I'm pretty sure Boston College's own true freshman Kevin Pierre-Louis can't wait to face the Terp's QB next season.
Pierre-Louis, the Norwalk resident who has been a starting linebacker for Boston College all season long, finished second in the voting for the ACC's Defensive Rookie of the Year, finishing behind Florida State's Xavier Rhodes, a cornerback.
For comparison's sake, O'Brien, a 6-foot-3 redshirt freshman, threw 21 touchdown passes - four shy of the league record for freshmen. He ranks third among freshmen nationally with a pass efficiency rating of 135.2 and averaged 188 yards passing. He started the season as the backup to Jamarr Robinson but took control of the job when Robinson injured his shoulder. O'Brien is a key reason why the Terrapins finished 8-4, contended for the Atlantic Division title until the final weeks of the regular season and secured a bowl berth one year after finishing 2-10.
Rhodes received 35 votes for the defensive award to finish ahead of Boston College linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis, who had 21 votes, Duke linebacker Kelby Brown (4) and North Carolina defensive lineman Tim Jackson (1). Rhodes redshirted last year and made the transition from receiver to defensive back. He leads the nation's freshmen with 14 passes defended - 11 pass breakups, three interceptions.
And Pierre-Louis? All he did was finish second on the team in tackles, taking down 86 players with the ball (55 solo). From his linebacker position, he even had three pass break-ups and recovered a fumble. His total tackles ranked him 10th overall in the ACC.
B0ston College had the best rushing defense in the ACC, giving up just 86 yards per game.

Manitoulin Streams receives funding support from Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters
Tom Sasvari
MANITOULIN—Manitoulin Streams Improvement Association (MSIA) has received funding support from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) Zone D, which it will use for a new project it is embarking this year in the Kagawong River.
"Your group does a lot of work, work that is very good for the (Manitoulin) Island," stated Roy Polsky, chair of the OFAH Zone D, at the group's annual general meeting held recently.
Manitoulin Streams had made a funding request for $2,500 from the OFAH, which was supported by the OFAH board members at the meeting.
Liam Campbell of MSIA told The Expositor the funding approved by MSIA will go toward working being carried out on the Kagawong River site 180. "We have done work above the bridge and now we will be working on the area from below the bridge. The money we received from OFAH is going to be used specifically for the purchase of trees (to restore riparian vegetation), education signage (to teach locals and tourists about fish spawning cycles and when the stream is most vulnerable to human impact) as well as trail improvements (increased stabilization in areas that are eroding and the placement of gravel for accessibility."
"There is a 65 metres of stream section on the river that is very fast-flowing water and currently provides no support for fish," Mr. Campbell told the meeting. "We want to improve fish habitat in Kagawong for salmon and other fish that spawn there, as well as carry out restoration work. And we will be continuing education tours at the Kagawong site. Over the last few years, when the salmon are running, people can be seen walking into the stream. We've talked to the township concerning improving trails and signage, to help people understand that the fish are there, and people shouldn't be walking on their eggs. The main goal will be to restore the site."
MSIA undertook many different projects, activities and events in 2021, as Mr. Campbell outlined at the meeting. The group's major project last year was the Smith Bay Creek stream restoration project in Wiikwemkoong. Sixty-three linear metres of steam was restored and there was over 160 metres of restoration that took place.

ITT Corp.'s third-quarter profits fell 33% to $77 million, but the New York-based conglomerate said its year-to-year profits would have risen 27% except for a one-time gain in the year-earlier quarter.
The company, which is in the middle of selling $1.7 billion in assets to improve its bottom line, said its income was improving in all businesses except telecommunications equipment, which suffered from high costs and weak markets.
The year-earlier quarter was boosted by a one-time gain of $54.7 million from the purchase of ICL, Britain's largest computer manufacturer, by STC, a company in which ITT has a 24% stake.
Revenue for the third quarter was $4.9 billion, up from a restated $4.7 billion in the third quarter of 1984. Revenue was restated to reflect the sale of numerous businesses in the last year, including Continental Baking Co. and 12 industrial companies.
ITT said its telecommunications group suffered from operating problems in its United Kingdom affiliate, competitive pressures and market weakness in office equipment, lower volumes and margins in telephones and continuing start-up and higher research and development costs for its System 12.
System 12 is ITT's new telephone switching system, in which it has invested more than $1 billion.
ITT also has interests in insurance, financial services, forest products and industrial goods. The company said insurance and financial services contributed $2 billion to its $4.9 billion in revenue in the third quarter, up from $1.8 billion a year earlier.
It said its operating results in domestic casualty underwriting improved and its portfolios in financial services grew in both commercial and consumer accounts.

The Senda Litoral is a grand tour from one end of the Costa del Sol to another, from Estepona to Nerja. A beautiful journey that takes in beaches, cliffs, promenades and exceptional landscapes. Stage 6 passes through Torremolinos.
This trail forms part of a most ambitious project that seeks to connect the entire Mediterranean arch, from Spain to Greece (route E-12). Covering a length of slightly more than 6 kilometres of seaside, the Senda Litoral passes along the six beaches of Torremolinos: Los Álamos (1569 m), Playamar (1106 m), El Bajondillo (1292 m), La Carihuela (1292 m), Playamar (488 m) and El Saltillo (500 m).


The most common feeling among those who commit to building their small business is one of real hope for a better future. After a few months of work, you suddenly know for a fact that it's a hard thing to do. Those who lack mental toughness and are easily frustrated will quickly revert to watching TV in the evening. Decide early on that you will toughen your mindset and work on the mental game. Nobody is born with all those great success habits for business, but you can cultivate them and make them your own.
Think of the people you hire as your teammates within your business. When you let yourself see them as filling a need for a particular skill or task, you will easily disconnect from them. This attitude will affect your employees and make them feel like they're stuck on the outside. When you think about it, there is more communication and greater commitment from them if they feel they matter in your business.
You should have regular meetings in which you keep them informed of your business goals, challenges, successes and places that they need to improve. It's well known that the attitude the people at the top of the pyramid have will filter down to the rest of the employees.
Anytime you're selling some terrific product, don't you ever think it will have universal appeal. It's just a fact of business that your product will not be able to fill that role. No one has found a way to please all people, and this applies to business and any product or service. The sooner you realize the wisdom of that concept, the better off you will be. Find your niche audience or market, identify who is in your audience and then concentrate on them with your marketing. Also consult with lawyer Smithfield experts to ensure all your bases are covered.
You'll be surprised at how even the basic stuff like getting organized can help you run your business. Because it is related, things like good time management practices will work quite nicely. These are just a coupe of the simpler methods that will help you streamline your business and increase your efficiency all at the same time. If you want to keep your business healthy and get things done properly and on time you need to keep up with your daily tasks.
Not only will your own efficacy be improved, your employees' will too. When you've got these processes in place, your business will be able to better respond to things successfully.
It takes lots of time and effort to build and manage a business of your own. There are specific attitude requirements you need to meet so that you will be ready to take whatever challenge happens to come your way. It's possible that you'll make money pretty quickly but it's also possible that you won't make very much but end up spending lots. But your chances of success will go way up if you do not mind working hard and doing the things that you need to do.


but it spawns 10 sparks the same.
Is it not possible to use expressions (system expressions, that is) for imagepoint?
Have you tried adding the "trigger once while true" condition after yours?
I can't use "trigger once while true" because on collision is a trigger condition.
I did try "trigger once while true" as a sub-event condition. I don't know why it still spawns 10 spark objects.
You yourself mention having a "For each enemy" - this shouldn't be needed as on collision they are already picked. Also I'd use random(1,10) for the imagepoint choice.

National park land
At the Nature Conservation Council annual conference Environment and Energy Minister Matt Kean was positive in his support for some of the environment objectives of the member groups. We just hope that he can have enough authority in cabinet. He wants to increase the land in national parks by 200,000 ha and has funding to do this. Already 64,000 ha has been added with most of it in north-west NSW near Broken Hill. He recently announced that Radiata Plateau will be purchased for addition to the Blue Mountains National Park. This is a major win for the Blue Mountains Conservation Society that has been lobbying for this addition for years. There has been virtually no declaration of new national park land since 2011 under the previous Liberal environment ministers.
He suggested we approach our local MPs or councils to nominate suitable pieces of land in our local areas to be added to the portfolio of protected lands. He indicated that unprotected land in Byles Creek Valley should be on the list.
Bush fires and climate change action
At the NCC conference Matt Kean stated that he wanted NSW to lead the nation in achieving the goal of zero greenhouse emissions by 2050 and he would be setting interim targets. There was no detail on the policies that would aim to achieve these targets but the time available for his speech was short. The adoption of this policy could be problematic with the current refusal by the Deputy Premier, John Barilaro to talk about climate change while the bushfires are burning. Surely this is the appropriate time.
Coal mine refusals
In a landmark decision in September the Independent Planning Commission (IPC) knocked back an application by Kepco Ltd for a new coal mine in the Bylong Valley. The IPC is the statutory agency responsible for making arm's-length decisions on state-significant development.
The IPC based its refusal on environmental impacts other than climate change, including impacts of the project on strategic agricultural land, groundwater and Aboriginal cultural heritage. However, the IPC found the project's contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions was a factor that needed to be considered in its assessment, and placed weight on Kepco's failure to propose any offset measures.
The IPC drew its decision on the principles established by the NSW Land and Environment Court in February regarding the assessment of cumulative greenhouse gas impacts in its decision concerning the Rocky Hill project near Gloucester. This project was for a new coking coal mine. The decision must be viewed in context, with the court stating it would have refused this particular mine anyway for other reasons, such as inconsistency with other land uses, amenity impacts (noise, dust), visual intrusion and social impacts of the mine. However the decision did state that the court had regard to, not only the direct emissions of the mining activities, but also the 'scope 3' indirect emissions, being the greenhouse gas emissions associated with third-party burning of the coal (which make up the vast majority of emissions associated with the coal).
Both these decisions have given great heart to people concerned about climate change and wanting to see Australia reducing its reliance on the coal mining industry.
Now we are shocked to learn that the NSW government is undertaking a snap review of the IPC saying that the reason for the review was another decision that didn't follow due process. Terms of reference for the review, which will be overseen by NSW Productivity Commissioner Peter Achterstraat, include 'whether it is in the public interest to maintain an Independent Planning Commission', and whether changes should be made to the thresholds for referring matters to the IPC. The Minerals Council has launched a campaign against the IPC.
If the IPC is scrapped these decisions would be made by the planning minister and transparency would be lost. Submissions are now closed and the Productivity Commission's report is due by mid-December.
Anti-protest laws
The right to protest is being attacked at the state and federal level.
The NSW government has passed its Right to Farm Bill and it will come into force early 2020, it will almost quadruple the penalty for 'aggravated unlawful entry on inclosed lands' from $5,500 to $22,000 and add a three-year prison term for people who merely 'hinder' a business while trespassing. The government claims this law is needed to protect farmers from 'dangerous' protesters but this protection already exists. The way the bill is drafted it would have ramifications for all protests on 'inclosed lands' such as protests against coal seam gas projects and forest destruction.
Now Scott Morrison wants to get in on the act with a ridiculous suggestion that environment activists should be outlawed from lobbying against businesses that are providing services to the mining industry such as banks and insurers. He said the government is 'working to identify mechanisms that can successfully outlaw these indulgent and selfish practices'.
The idea has been roundly condemned by human rights lawyers and business among others as unlawful as well impossible to implement. It is a threat to freedom of speech.

Another Monday has come and gone. As I get older, the weeks seem to go by quicker. Of course, this would be great if you can't wait for your week to end 🙂 Of course, I love my job (in case my boss stumbles onto this)!
A little background about me: I'm 32 years old and I have a 12 year old daughter. I was a single mom up until recently when I met my boyfriend. He's great and has really stepped-up. We actually still live in separate houses and I plan to until we decide we're ready to get married. Also I finally bought a place here in Portland and I've only lived in it for a year. I have moved an average of every 2 years since I was 18.
Until a few months ago, I hadn't touched a paintbrush in about 7 years! What happened there. Being a single mom, I worked full time and went to school at a University part time. It took me twice as long to finish (8 long years!) The original plan after I graduated was to get a job doing web design–the visual aspects of a website. Unfortunately, the Dotcom bust was beginning right as I finished school in December 2000. So I went back to school and got a Computer Science degree. I had always wanted to do this, just not until much, much later.
So I studied programming and Information Security and System administration and everything about as far from Art as you can get. I admit that after 8 years in Art School, I was resonably burned out. Art has no solid answers and I was ready for a change of pace into a world that has definate 'yes' or 'no' answers.
I spend all day in my padded cubicle and in the evening rush home to get dinner made, dishes done, and laundry started so I can create art.

Chuck Grassley Questions Why DOD Inspector General Cannot Report on Senior Official Leaks
Chuck Grassley just released a scathing criticism of the DOD Inspector General Report one the Pentagon's cooperation with the makers of Zero Dark Thirty.
A draft of the report, which got leaked to Project on Government Oversight in June 2013, reported that Leon Panetta had disclosed Top Secret information. But when the report got released shortly thereafter, the damning information on Panetta had been suppressed. The IG later went after the employee who provided a copy of the draft report to Congress.
All these issues led Grassley to ask his staffers to investigate the IG Report. In the final assessment of it, Grassley called the report a "second-class report that is not worth the paper on which it was written."
But that's not the most stunning part of his report.
Grassley reveals that DOD has a "long-standing Department policy mandating the removal of sensitive information" from IG Reports prior to publication. That policy requires that "all derogatory information pertaining to unauthorized disclosures by senior officials be removed from the report." Grassley explains how this served to protect former Secretary of Defense and CIA Director Leon Panetta and current Under Secretary for Defense Michael Vickers.
Senior officials, including former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director and DOD Secretary Leon Panetta and Under Secretary for Intelligence (USDI) Michael Vickers, were accused of allegedly making unauthorized disclosures of highly classified information on the Osama bin Laden raid.
When top government officials, like the Secretary and Under Secretary of Defense, stand accused of misconduct, there should be some accountability to the public. Thus far, in this matter, there has been none. By comparison, former Deputy Secretary of Defense and CIA Director Deutch mishandled highly classified information and got hammered for doing it. He lost his clearance for six years and came close to prosecution. Unlike the Zero Dark Thirty leaks, the matter was dealt with effectively and aired in public. Those lessons seem to have been forgotten.
Grassley doesn't say it, but the revisions in the report may also have protected one other senior DOD official: Admiral William McRaven. The initial draft of the report had referred to McRaven "purging" photographs members of the raid had taken of Osama bin Laden (he did so after several outlets FOIAed the pictures). The word "purge" and reference that he had sent the pictures to another agency (CIA) was eliminated in the final draft.
Grassley called for "independent review and possible modification" of the policy of suppressing details that reflect badly on senior officials. If he's serious about the need to hold senior officials accountable, Grassley should probably adopt stronger language than "possible modification."

VERIFY: Is there a drive-thru coronavirus testing clinic in Austin?
A Reddit post claimed a drive-thru coronavirus testing clinic had opened in Austin.
Author: Britny Eubank, Mike Marut (KVUE)
Published: 2:24 PM CDT March 14, 2020
AUSTIN, Texas — On Friday, a post popped up in the CoronaVirusTX subreddit, claiming a drive-thru coronavirus testing clinic had opened in Austin near the Domain. KVUE set out to Verify whether that was true.
Is there a drive-thru coronavirus testing clinic at the Baylor Scott & White facility near the Domain?
PSA: Drive thru testing seemingly available in Austin from CoronaVirusTX
Yes. Baylor Scott & White opened a drive-thru coronavirus testing clinic at their facility at 2608 Brockton Drive, near Braker Lane, on Friday.
As of Monday, however, Baylor Scott & White now offers drive-thru testing sites at 425 University Blvd, Round Rock, TX 78665 and 5251 West US Highway 290 Austin, TX 78735. The Austin North Burnet site is not active at this time.
Baylor Scott & White Senior Marketing and Public Relations Consultant Christy Millweard.
Millweard confirmed the new clinic is designed so patients can drive up, take a COVID-19 test and drive away without ever leaving their car.
However, you can't just drive right up. Patients must complete a COVID-19 screening questionnaire at MyBSWHealth.com or on the MyBSWHealth app. The screening tool uses CDC-recommended questions and allows Baylor Scott & White to appropriately identify patients who need additional follow-up. Based on the severity of a patient's symptoms, they will be instructed whether or not to go to the drive-thru clinic.
On Friday, Gov. Greg Abbott announced that San Antonio was in the process of opening the state's first drive-thru coronavirus testing facility, adding that similar facilities were also in the works for Austin and Dallas. Abbott said he expected at least two facilities, if not all three, to be fully operational in the coming weeks.
"My team is in working with the cities of San Antonio and Dallas – and is in conversation with the City of Austin – to also implement drive-thru testing sites that will be run and managed at the local level," Abbott said Friday.

According to a statement from the governor's office, the San Antonio drive-thru facility "will serve first responders, healthcare workers, operators of critical infrastructure and key resources, and certain high-risk patients."
Abbott tweeted about the Baylor Scott & White clinic on Sunday, saying that it "adds to testing centers in San Antonio and the centers opening in Houston and Dallas later this week." He also said drive-thru testing will continue to increase.
In addition to having patients pre-screen prior to going to the drive-thru clinic, Baylor Scott & White is also implementing additional precautions at its facilities. Starting on Monday at 8 a.m., visitors and patients will use designated entrances and be screened upon arrival. Visitation is also being limited to two visitors per patient during visiting hours; no visitors under the age of 16; and no large groups in waiting rooms.

Trade Openness, Transport Networks and the Spatial Location of Economic Activity

This paper introduces a multi-country multi-regional model that allows the evaluation of the effects of trade openness in the distribution of economic activity across regions within countries. Relying on the agglomeration and dispersion forces characterizing the analytical framework of the New Economic Geography and New Trade Theory (neg/ntt) literature, we consider a general model with two differentiated sectors in terms of preferences, technologies and transport costs, allowing for any feasible world trade network topology where trade frictions are both transport and non-transport related (tariffs). We study systematically the critical thresholds that characterize the long run equilibria of economic activity. As benchmark simulations we choose two opposed domestic network topologies characterizing a homogeneous space and a heterogeneous space with some regions enjoying locational advantages. Our findings show that trade openness changes locational patterns in favor of better located regions with respect to the new world topology, which nevertheless may result in larger or lower spatial equality depending on the initial distribution of the economic activity. These results entail important implications in terms of transport infrastructure (accessibility) and trade (commercial agreements) policies, as both are interrelated when policy makers set regional equality goals.

This monoprint mixed media piece includes drawing and painting. It is a collaboration between the poet Cindy Williams Gutiérrez and me. After reading her poem many times, this image came to me. It is not a literal illustration of the poem but a response to Cindy's evocative, image-rich language. Collaborating like this has been a wonderful experience. I'm grateful to be working with such a beautiful poem.
Creating the monoprint is a sensual process that by its nature engages images. I begin with a glass plate that I then finger paint an image onto it. I refine the image with a variety of tools like sticks, wedges and other edge tools. When the image looks done, I put it on the steel bed of the printing press and turn the crank handle, pressing the image onto a sheet of paper. After that I hang the image to dry. Later I go back into the image with drawing tools to pick up lines, shapes and forms that enrich the image.
Periódico de poesía in April of this year.
This August, visual artist Acosta responded to the poem by creating a collage of two original monoprints encircled by the original poem and its translation (in her handwriting). In the spirit of collaboration, Acosta left the broadside with Gutiérrez, inviting her to alter it as she felt moved to do so.
a continual source of inspiration for the Northwest group.
Duality inspires my work. I write to wrestle with contradiction, to explore the connections among the disparate—to experience opposing ideas, emotions, people, places, even languages in close proximity.
In this piece, I was drawn to the copper leafing Cristina had applied, particularly the shapely moon. I found two copper coins in my jewelry box—one from Spain and one from Mexico. I used the Spanish coin to cover the top half of the skull near the heart image: for me, the power of history is evoked in the juxtaposition of a Spanish coin and a Nahua (or Aztec) skull. In this context, a contradiction is created: through the lens of the Spanish conquest, the nearby heart is evocative of human sacrifice rather than the human trembling we all share.
I placed the Mexican coin to the center of the flower near the deer image. Poetry, or "flower and song"("floricanto" in Spanish or "in xochitl in cuica" in Nahuatl) was a valued currency in the life of the Nahua tribes of central Mexico. The Nahuas believed that poetry was the way to a pure heart, an emerald heart.
I write to see. I am impelled by what I might discover—if I dig deep enough, if I turn something over and over enough to subvert its face value.
In this piece, I was fascinated by the way Cristina interwove lines of the original poem (in English) with lines of the translation (in Spanish). I became curious about how the piece would be experienced if some of the poem were hidden. I overlaid strips of colored paper that matched Cristina's palette until a single new hybrid poem emerged. The original and translation were no longer redundant. English, Spanish, and Nahuatl flowed freely into each other as all three languages felt of a whole.
My goal is to surrender to poetry and let it be my guide. I trust myself most when I write. In these moments, I am but a vessel. The poem is the thing that's most alive.


Vallen Distribution, Inc., [doing business as] Hagemeyer North America, Inc., a national leading provider of indirect industrial supplies violated federal law when it fired an employee after he requested leave due to a medical condition, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it recently filed.
According to the EEOC's suit, in August 2015, Hagemeyer fired Warehouse Driver Wesley Smith rather than grant his request for unpaid leave to treat and recover from prostate cancer. Smith, who worked in Hagemeyer's Augusta, Georgia warehouse facility, was fired the day before he was scheduled to undergo surgery.
Such alleged conduct violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which prohibits discrimination based on a disability. The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. Vallen Distribution, Inc. d/b/a Hagemeyer North America, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:18-cv-00146-JRH-BKE) in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia, Augusta Division after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The EEOC is seeking reinstatement, back pay, front pay, compensatory and punitive damages for Smith, as well as injunctive relief designed to prevent future discrimination.
"When an employer knows an employee has a disability and will need to be absent from work because of it, the employer should meet with the employee and seek to accommodate him," said Antonette Sewell, regional attorney for the EEOC's Atlanta District Office. ""Medical leave is a widely-recognized accommodation, and in Mr. Smith's case, could easily have been granted, preventing the firing of a valuable employee. However, instead of accommodating him, Hagemeyer fired Smith, less than 24-hours before his surgery.."
Bernice Williams-Kimbrough, district director of the Atlanta office, said, "The interactive process is most important during the accommodation process. In this case, Hagemeyer was much more interested in firing an employee with a disability rather than accommodating him and failed in its responsibility under the law.


During the normal Commercial Real Estate development process. One thing is for sure you will be putting in new Commercial Carpet tiles, removing old carpet or doing both.
Commercial carpet tiles are favored over regular roll carpet due to the flexibility, and easy installation, removal process and has been an easy fix for soiled or damaged carpet areas.
Now let's say you have a 500,000 sq ft building with old carpet tile that needs to be replaced. You have it removed. But now you have to get rid of it.
Your options are disposal or reclamation services. When disposing of Commercial carpet tile. That carpet turns into 500,000 lbs of waste. Not only does it cost you alot of money to dispose of this, with trucking and waste management fee's. They fill our landfill's and cause air quality health issues.
With Reclamation you save a lot of money without a lot of hassle. At FIBR we may charge a nominal fee, depending on location, and quality. Or it could be free of charge. Then we will pickup your palletized carpet tiles. Remove them from your site. No waste management fee's, no trucking fee's. Saving a lot of money, while diverting carpet for Re Use instead of the landfill. We do offer Removal services, but in most cases if you have a crew on site. That isn't necessary.
Now you have all the flooring removed and off site. Now you need to purchase new carpet and have it installed.
All the carpet we have is High End Commercial carpet tile. Meaning they are highly durable, High traffic rated, flame retardant with Rubber, Foam, or Glassbac backed tile. Commercial Nylon rated up to 25 years. Buying this brand new is very expensive.
You can buy used Commercial Carpet tile for a fraction of the cost. When we sell Commercial carpet tile it is in Great Condition. If we receive carpet that is not suitable for Re Installation, we send these through the recycling process.
You could be paying up to $8 per SQ FT for High End opposed to $0.62 for Used Carpet in excellent condition.
I hope this article has helped you. If you have any questions feel free to contact us.
What a fantastic concept. Exactly the type of system that a sustainable global property market needs going forward into the future.
Do you guys know of any other companies across the globe offering a similar service?

Ikea is known for its Swedish reliability and their design flare. Founded in 1943 by Ingvar Kamprad the company now operates 415 stores in 49 different countries. Ikea stores are visited by over 900 million visitors worldwide. With the company offering over 12,000 different products at affordable prices, its no wonder people keep traveling to go to Ikea.
This increased footfall also means an increased strain on the internal floor finishes which often take the majority of abuse, frequently subject to surface scratches from foot bourn dirt and moisture. This presents the store with a number of health and safety risks. As a result, keeping these shoppers safe is one paramount aspects and maintaining the aesthetics of the interior is another. At INTRAsystems we know very well that Entrance Matting helps reduce slips and trips, reduce the amount of dirt trafficked into the building therefore reducing the cleaning costs and ultimately maintain a safe environment for all shoppers.
Ikea Milton Keynes is a very popular store as it caters to a wide market. They opted for the reliable and durable INTRAform Single module Entrance Matting to keep the dirt at bay. The INTRAform Aluminium matting system is our heavy-duty plank system, which is exceptionally hardwearing. The planks come in interlocking format for ease of installation as well as a range of colourful inserts. INTRAform is a closed construction matting system giving it the edge when it comes to cleaning and maintenance.
We worked with the client and recommended this matting solution because it is fully DDA compliant making it suitable for wheelchaired traffic. By installing this Entrance Matting the ingress of soil and moisture into the store is prevented therefore maintaining a clean appearance inside.

One of the signs of the last days according to what Jesus said in the verse that we just read is that many will be offended and will betray one another and will hate one another.
These days' people get offended for no good reason and go on shooting rampage. One guy in America recently went to the Discovery TV station building in America because he was upset about the fact that they are showing programmes that shows human beings destroying the planet or something like that. He was offended.
The rate of murder has skyrocketed in recent times, there is a lot of betrayal and so much hatred in our society.
Jesus said, it is impossible offences will come but woe to him through which it come. We will feel offended but it is how we deal with it that matters.
The danger is that if we allow offence in our life, it can stop the blessing of God from flowing in our life, but when we exercise patience and remain focused on God and His Word, He will turn your situations and circumstances around.
It is God's desire that you do not become offended. That we become dead to self.
Offense blocks God's blessing because it cuts one off from the power of God.
Sometimes people become offended with God but this is not wise because He is the only One who can help you get out of a negative situation or circumstance.
Nobody can be successful if he has a heart that is against God (Job 9:4b – Who has hardened himself against Him (God ) and prospered.
Everyone will at one point in time suffer offence in one form or another all men are subject to the possibility of becoming offended many times a day in life. We also offend people consciously or unconsciously. You may never know what your words or actions lead to.
One of the most potent weapon that Satan uses in these last days to steal people's destiny and destroy their lives is the weapon of offence.
I heard a make believe story about Satan and his schemes. The story is that Satan held a fair and had many diverse items/gadgets for sale like fornication, alcoholism, homosexuality, witchcraft, lying etc but on these two items he put not for sale, Discouragement and offence. Someone then asked Satan why are these not for sale, he said, these are the two instruments that he had used to destroy many destinies and they have almost 100% success rate. He said irrespective of race, color, economic status, age, they always deliver.
Generally it means to feel annoyed or hurt by something or what someone did or said.
The devil can ensnare one through offence and when that happens one begins to do his will and manifest feeling of anger, resentment, wrath and criticism which ultimately leads to divisions, rebellion and fighting.
Great men and women in history have missed golden opportunities because they've allowed offences to dictate their responses and actions at crucial points in their lives.
You may not indulge in so called big sins like fornication but the weapon of offence could create greater damage if we are not careful.
Matt 24:10 'And then many will be offended, will betray one another and will hate one another.
When we allow ourselves to be offended and we don't deal with it, it leads to other very damaging human emotions like betrayal and eventually hatred of the person concerned.
This occurs in marriages, work places, churches and businesses.
Proverbs 18:19 'A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city. This means that it is a lot easier to conquer or win a strong city than reconcile a brother who is offended.
An usher asked you to move from where you are sitting and you are not happy because you feel, how dare this young girl talk to me like that.
You feel someone walked past you in church and didn't greet you properly and you are offended.
Or maybe the pastor preached a sermon and you think he is referring to you and you get offended. A pastor narrated how he finished preaching one day and a woman came to see him and said, I know you were referring to me in your message but the pastor insisted that he wasn't even thinking about her. She was all upset. It will be difficult to preach if one has to avoid speaking about certain things just because someone in the church has been through or going through similar situation.
Offence is dangerous and it can attract evil spirit into our lives.
A man and his wife had a quarrel and there was strife and offence between them and the Holy Spirit nudged the man to apologize to his wife but he refused and was being stubborn. As they were lying down the man couldn't sleep and at about 2 am the Holy Spirit spoke to him and said look at what you have allowed into your house and in an open vision this man saw a large, fierce looking demon spirit wearing armor. The man could see each piece of armour and understand it's symbolic meaning. The spirit wore helmet of pride and breastplate of unrighteousness,he carried a sword of bitterness and a shield of hatred, from his belt hung a hammer of judgement, a cloak of deception and his feet were shod with boots of anger.
Why do we get offended?
The reasons why we all get offended differ amongst different people but there are certain common reasons or causes of offences irrespective of who you are or where you are from.
1.We are imperfect people. No human being is perfect and we all have the propensity to get offended. Psalm 51:5 'Behold I was shapen in iniquity (sin) and in sin did my mother conceive me.
We daily encounter people carrying all kinds of experiences, traumas and fears of their past which greatly influence their behavior.
Every man has an inborn tendency to disappoint. Men cause offences because of human limitations. They are limited in scope of seeing and understanding situations hence their inability to make correct judgments.
That is why people make flawed judgments and conclusions about others which can trigger negative emotions and tendencies such as anger, bitterness and resentments. Men can wrongly interpret your actions because of their limitations.
It is only God who is all knowing and all understanding and has the ability to make sound judgments.
2. People differ in opinion, ideas and perceptions.
3. Lack of the fruit of the Spirit.
The bible is full of stories of great men who got offended and they ended up missing God's purpose for their lives and were destroyed in the process.
Absalom: Read 2 Samuel 13:1 -20 – 32.
Absalom, King David's son story is a classic example of what happens when offenses are taken personally and nursed over a period of time. He was a favorite son of his father King David.
Absalom had a sister called Tamar who was very beautiful and Absalom also had a half brother called Amnon who was infatuated by Tamar. He liked her to the extent that he became sick and a friend of his called Jonadab (that's why we need to keep godly friends) told Amnon that he should pretend to be ill and when the king comes to see him he should tell the king that he will like Tamar to come and give him food. Then when the king came to see him, he requested that Tamar his sister should come and give him food and the king agreed.
When Tamar came, Amnon basically raped her. When Absalom got to know in verse 22 'Absalom spoke to his brother neither good nor bad for Absalom hated Amnon because he had forced his sister Tamar.
Absalom was really offended but he did not deal with it but kept it in his heart.
Two years passed and Absalom then planned and got Amnon his brother killed.
What started off as an offence which Absalom should have sorted out with his brother spiraled into betrayal, hatred and ultimately murder.
Offence, once it enters our heart must the rooted out completely otherwise it can come back to claim victims and do more damage.
Absalom later on betrayed his dad and he ended up being killed. What began as a disapproval of his half brothers actions let to betrayal, hatred and murder. Untamed offence mixed with confusion about his father's failings resulted in Absalom death.
Anywhere there is offence, betrayal is an inevitable consequence. Offence provokes and triggers betrayal. Whenever you feel like betraying somebody, it may well be that you are offended.
John the Baptist who was the forerunner of Jesus Christ was also offended. He came from a priestly home and he had a ministry that was commended by Jesus himself.
Jesus said among those born of women, there has not arisen one greater than John the Baptist. Matt 11:11.
John the Baptist questioned whether Jesus was really the Messiah because he was imprisoned and expected Jesus to get him out of jail (Matthew 11:2-6).
John knew that Jesus was the Anointed One, but he was offended because Jesus didn't immediately come to His rescue.
John's offense kept him from his deliverance. Offense can destroy one's destiny.
When you are offended, your defenses are broken down, and the serpents of life can bite you.
Offence has no respect for royalty or status. John was put in prison by Herod because he told Herod it was not good that he took his brother's wife.
While in prison John then sent a message to Jesus to ask inn Matt 11:3 'Are you the coming one or do we look for another'.
Jesus then sent a message back to John with testimonies of how His ministry was doing but He now also said, Blessed is he who is not offended because of me. Maybe John felt that Jesus could have used His influence to free him from prison or by some supernatural intervention free him? Or maybe John expected Jesus to at least visit him in prison. Remember that they are cousins.
John could have felt that his cousin Jesus had forsaken him. Then he started doubting Jesus.
It is common to find in churches members who used to on fire and supporting the ministry suddenly now turn to antagonists of the church. This is usually because they are offended.
If offence could turn John the Baptist the forerunner of Jesus into a doubter, we need to watch out for offence in our lives and stamp it out as soon as possible.
Ephesians 4:30-32 'And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
1. Withdrawal from relationships and fellowship.
Relationships are created by God to strengthen and empower us and Godly relationships are designed by God for our blessing but when we begin to withdraw from Godly relationships around us, we are most likely offended.
Bible says two are better than one for they have a better reward for their labor.
Several relationships have been ripped due to offenses. Sometimes church splits are a result of someone who has been offended.
An offended person will often decide to stay away and withhold any support and contribution he or she used to make.
Many people have moved away from their marriages, job's churches, friendship because they are offended and thereby missed their destinies, may you never miss your destiny in Jesus name.
Bible says we should not forsake the assembly of our gathering together.
If you find that you resent someone, it is a good sign that you are offended. Resentment is harboring animosity against a person or group of people who you feel has mistreated you. It may also be unresolved anger you have over a negative event which occurred in the past.
Resentment is bad because it consumes you of joy and peace of the mind. It possesses a self destructive power.
Resentment can often lead to bitterness which then leads to fatigue, backaches, ulcers, high blood pressure.
3. Distrust: Offended people lose trust for everybody.
A church member that is offended can lose the respect and trust and esteem he or she has for the leader.
The offended person may also encounter difficulty in submission to authority and will often develop destructive independent spirit.
The person just refuses to communicate.
Col 3:8 – 9 'But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds.
Matt 24:10 And many will be offended and will betray one another and will hate one another.
Offence can lead to betrayal of love, friendship as well as disloyalty. Many people because they are offended will betray the trust of their previously close friends.
Ahithophel betrayed David and Judas betrayed Jesus because of offense.
Prov 17:17 'A friend is born for adversity'.
Please do not betray your brother and sister.
Carrying offenses can lead to unanswered prayers. Jesus said in Mark 11 that if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them so that your father in heaven may forgive you your sins.
Luke 1:5 – 15. Zacharias and Elizabeth did not have any child but they were still serving as priests in the house of the Lord and it was while serving that the angel appeared to Zacharias and told him that they will have a child.
Don't be offended at God to the extent that you stop doing what you are supposed to be doing for Him. It is dangerous.
6. Rebellion: Offended people often develop a rebellious spirit and go against the established order.
Absalom rebelled against his father's David's kingship due to offence. He succeeded momentarily in overthrowing his father but he died such a shameful death eventually.
When young people rebel against their parents, it is usually as a result of the fact that they are offended by something.
Offended people also seem to have very good memory. However it is always selective because they always remember wrongs committed against them.
The painful memories become a mental picture they permanently carry around. This is major blessing blocker.
How to deal with offences.
It is the ability of releasing people and events, hurts and bitterness from your heart.
It is a feeling of no longer being angry with someone.
God has not given us the privilege paying back evil for evil. We as Christians are not allowed to take vengeance on anybody irrespective of what the offence is. God is the only one who has the right to take vengeance because He is all knowing.
Luke 9:51 – 56. The disciples and Jesus went to this Samaritan village and the people did not receive Jesus and the disciples said let us call down fire from heaven to destroy these people but Jesus said, What kind of spirit are you made of?
Joseph was treated badly by his brothers but he still forgave them and did not allow offence to stifle his judgment.
Some churches curse their enemies and pray fire prayer over them. That is not scriptural.
6. Give the situation to God in prayers and stop talking about it.
The problem is that when we talk and think about what that person did or said about us and then the enemy makes it look bigger that it is.
A true test of love is the capacity to forgive. If you have the mind to hold offences against someone, then you are not walking in love.
Romans 13:8. Owe no man nothing but love.
Love never tales offence. Love does not seek his own good but the good of others.
CONCLUSION: Ephesians 4:26-27 Give no foothold to the devil. Offences make us give a foothold to the devil.
Matthew 6:14 'For if you forgive men their trespasses your heavenly father will also forgive you.
