Intro: Do you find yourself running out of time to accomplish your work, are you spending time doing things that you're not that good at? There are effective ways to outsource these tasks so you can focus on your business. This is the Virtual Success Show, we bring the inside scoop on outsourcing success for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs. And now here are your hosts Matt Malouf and Barbara Turley.
Matt: Hey everyone, and welcome to another show of the Virtual Success Show where I'm joined by my co-host, Barbara Turley. Hey Barb.
Barbara: Hey Matt. How are you today?
Matt: I'm really well, and yourself?
Barbara: Good, thank you. Excited about our topic that we're going to dissect into today?
Matt: I am, I am. As always, meetings before the show are always interesting conversations and topics just pop up. This one, it was funny. We were halfway through a conversation, Barbara and I, and we went, "This is a show, let's start recording." So we did.
Barbara: So here we are, to dissect what the problem I presented to Matt is…
How Do You Assess Your Virtual Assistant?
Matt: And it is. I think one of the questions I get asked regularly is how do I assess or measure the success or failure of my virtual assistant? How do I know whether they're doing well or not doing well? It's a really interesting topic. I think there's many many different ways you can do this. But what we wanted to do today was open a discussion between Barbara and I because we were talking about this beforehand, and then we share some insights into this. I think one of the biggest challenges when trying to assess your virtual assistant is making it really complicated and then therefore hard to measure and be transparent. When you try to measure the success or failure of a role, you've got to make it really easy and transparent for both you and the persons you're assessing to understand how they're doing. There should be no surprises.
Biggest Challenges to Assessing Your VA
Matt: The way that I've done this over the years with the virtual teams and even local people that I've had working with me, I create a list of the things that they are responsible for. For instance, they may be responsible for managing my calendar, managing my emails, booking hotels, booking travel. One for Barbara and I is the podcast, so actually taking the recordings and producing the show. You need to create a list of all of the key areas or key responsibilities that your VA has. What you then need to do is you need to get them to score themselves, let's say it's a scoring system out of five, and five is that they are completely competent, confident, and do this task exceptionally well, and one is that they're a novice at it, that they really don't know what they're doing and are struggling with it.
Identifying your Key Areas
Matt: You get them to assess themselves in each of those areas as a score out of five. What you then do separately is you take the same list and you score them on how you believe they're doing with that responsibility or that task. Then what you can do is you can have a really educated and robust conversation about the gap. For instance, I'll just use the example of managing my calendar, and let's say I score my virtual assistant as a three and they score themselves as a four. Then the discussion is why do they give themselves a four and why did I give them a three, and then what are we going to do differently in the next month or quarter depending on what period of time you're reviewing to get them to a four or a five? That way then you're understanding from their model of the world how they assess themselves and they understand from your model of the world how you assess them… what are your thoughts around that Barb?
Delivering Feedback in An Effective Way
Barbara: Yeah, I was just thinking as you're talking. What I love about that set up is that you get to the heart of things that are difficult to identify. For example, you as the business might say, "Yeah, you do a great job with the calendar management, I understand you're there every day, you get back to the clients, everything's always correct," so I'm just trying think of an example of where you could dig into something that's frustrating you that you haven't been able to articulate or even realize before. You might say to the VA, "The only thing is though you're constantly pinging every 10 minutes in Skype with questions about the calendar," and that's where the disconnect is. From their perspective, the calendar looks good, everything's right, but they're getting constant clarifications or whatever. There's something that's slightly outside of the task that is frustrating you and therefore causing your view of the task's success in this scenario to be skewed negatively so that neither of you can.
That, as you say, that means the VA can see it from your perspective and you can see it from their perspective. As we know, generally we all view things differently. It's really good to understand each other's perspective around why something's going right or why something is going wrong from the other person's perspective. I think that is a really powerful conversation actually, and it reduces any negativity that people feel around feedback. As we know, we did a series of shows on this before. Delivering feedback in an effective way can be quite awkward for many people, and they feel it's quite negative. And this is much more collaborative conversation around what's needed by both sides.
Matt: Yes. Also to add to that, one of the earlier shows we did around expectations. What could happen is they could understand the task, but your expectation and their expectation may be misaligned. It's often through what hasn't been communicated.
Identify KPI 's
Barbara: Yeah, and you only learn that by working together actually, each other's style. That can really affect how things … But we were talking about KPIs basically, Matt and I, and while we did identify certain KPIs that you could use that are very metrics driven, of course, that's the ideal pure way of doing this, but doing it that way can lose some of the stuff we were just talking about here. Matt, I'm just thinking you lose that connectivity of style and perspective and that conversation gets lost…
Assess Your Onboarding Procedure
Matt: It does, it does. What this also does, as a business owner and an entrepreneur, it enables you to assess your effectiveness of onboarding and training your staff also. I've always found in the past where the gap often lies is because I haven't trained my virtual assistant in the ways that I'm actually expecting them to do something, or I've only trained them in certain parts of it and I haven't actually gone to the next level with the training. But also too, I may have trained them in something, but haven't spent enough time practicing it with them, or enabling them to ask me questions, or maybe I rushed the training. There's so many different things, and if we're going to take responsibility around here, this is not an assessment tool to point the finger. It's an assessment tool to be able to work together so that you get the best from this role and this person.
Barbara: I'm thinking as well, some of you guys listening will be thinking, "Oh my God, that just sounds so tedious, it's like an HR role, I don't want to do this." But most of us, being entrepreneurial quite frankly would rather stick needles in our eyeballs than do this sort of analysis and team management, but sadly when you're running a business, whether you like it or not, I think this becomes part of your role as a leader, even if you just bring one VA into your business. You can choose to not do it, but I think the power of doing it is that you start to invest in your people. That, I can safely say that's one of the most powerful things that I have done in my business is to help my people be great regardless of how great they were before. They might have been A players coming in, but I need them to be my A players, and it does really help to get this right.
Matt: Yeah. But also too, what I think you've got to remember is everyone needs feedback. If I'm not getting feedback from whether it's my superior or whoever it might be, I'm going to assume I'm doing a good job because I haven't heard anything, I'm not being told otherwise, I'm doing the tasks that are asked of me. I'm just going to assume that I'm doing things the way that I should be or the way that are expected of me.
Barbara: Or… some people might be thinking, "Well, they haven't pinged me for it, so nobody's noticing that I'm not doing a good job." For those people that know that they're not really playing at the level, they're skirting under the wire so to speak, if you have that type of person on your team, they'll just keep skating along if they feel they can get away with it.
Matt: I think consistent and timely feedback, and also to having a… When I conceptualize this with my VA years ago, it was because I wanted to see how they assess themselves as well as I did. I mean I could assess them, but I knew that if we discussed the gap, then at least what I find anyway is that they don't get defensive, because it's a constructive conversation. They've had the opportunity to give you the score and why they've given themselves that score, and you've given the opportunity also. What could happen too at times is I've had instances where I've scored my VA higher then they've scored themselves. What it does is it helps build their confidence. It helps reiterate that they're doing a really good job, and that they are I guess exceeding your expectations. This simple investment of time really does continue to reap and pay you back.
The Stop Doing List
Barbara: In fact, this is actually such a good strategy, Matt, and I've heard you talk about it so many times and I read it obviously in your book, The Stop Doing List. Amazing part of that book. We finally, finally, just at this point, we've just built it into some of our big system automations that we have around review time and we have an evaluation that goes to the client, to the team leader, and to the VA themselves, across three people. Then it's we're including this part where the employee or the virtual assistant gets to rate themselves so that they feel like they've got a seat at the table and they actually have a say. I'm interesting to know actually Matt, have you ever had an incident where you rated somebody, they rated themselves higher than you did, but upon discussion, you realized that maybe their rating actually was right and yours was skewed in the wrong direction for whatever reason? Has that ever happened?
Matt: It has, yeah. And often it's because either the parts that I was saying they weren't doing had never been communicated with them…trained in those areas, or that responsibility, it may have been that we had three responsibilities in one, so it wasn't clear that I was responsible for all three things. I thought I only needed to do this part.
Barbara: I was just thinking, that's a great example actually. Now that I've asked that question, I'm actually thinking that happens more often than we think. I had a situation a while ago where I probably was consistently rating one of my team lower than this person would rate themselves. And then it became apparent to me when I thought about it, I actually spoke to HR and I had some feedback from other people who interact with this role that that person saw themselves as supporting me as opposed to leading that area, and that was an eye-opener for me. I was like, okay, so that person's expectation of themselves in that role is different from what my expectation of their role is, or the level of leadership that I was attributing to that role was higher than the level of leadership that they thought I was attributing in that role.
Role Expectations and Communication
Barbara: Therefore it resulted in a lot of clarifications, still coming to me for guidance, et cetera, thinking that that was the right thing to do, because I was the leader. And I realized that I hadn't communicated that effectively, so that was an eye-opener for me to have that experience. There's multiple ways to look at this process, and it's not just a cut and dry… you rate yourself, I rate you, and then we discuss and I win, like as the leader my rating stands as the right one.
Matt: Yeah, 100%. What you've got to be mindful of here, they score themselves, you score them, you discuss the gap, you need to have clear next steps, and you also have to have a clear timeframe within which you're going to check back in.
Barbara: Yes. So there's not left hanging.
Matt: Correct. If this is say a quarterly assessment, I recommend you should do something like this monthly, but at bare minimum quarterly, you might have a difference in writing, but you may say, "What we're going to do on this particular area, because it's of high importance, we're going to check back in in a month. Let's book it in the diary now so that we can have a little discussion in one month's time just in this particular area. We're not going to go through the whole thing again. We're just going to talk about this particular one because it's really really important." Or what you may do is you go, "Okay, there's a difference. The strategy used that you and I are going to spend some time training together over the next month, I think we need 30 minutes a week. Let's book it in the diary now and make sure that it happens."
Barbara: Yeah, and you have to make that commitment. Like I said, as the leader of the business, this is actually a role that you start to take on the minute you start to take people on in your business, and you have to kind of accept that. You can sort of delegate I guess, but until you get really big and you've got operations and team leaders and stuff like that, it's actually hard to delegate this to anyone. You have to suck it up and do it yourself. But you'll grow your people with it. But for me, it's great, because this is an area I've struggled with myself is to how to progress things. I've got all the other strategies down pat as to how to onboard and train and get the most out of VAs, but this is an area now I'm really hitting up against as we've had people working with us for years, so we've got to do this on behalf of clients as well. We help to mentor the VAs up the ladder too in this way. Really great advice.
Matt: Thank you. Last thing I'd say is just keep this simple. Keep it simple. Simple list of responsibilities with a consistent timeframe and give it a go. It will make a huge difference, and it will help you build a deeper connection and get better results from your VAs.
Barbara: Yes. So if any of you want to share any stories about that, pop into the Facebook group. We've got the virtual success Facebook group. And you can also suggest shows that you'd really like us to do. We're always open to new ideas. If you love the show, please make sure that you share it and subscribe on iTunes or your favorite podcast listening and give us a rating and a thumbs up review if you can so that we can help get the show out to more people. So Matt, thanks so much for that today. Thanks everyone for listening. Until next time.
Matt: Thank you Barb. We'll see you soon.
Barbara: Bye.
Outro: Thank you for listening to the Virtual Success Show. If you found this show helpful, take a moment to share it with a friend so that we can all grow together.

Tokyo to NYC street-life shines in Tate photo show
LONDON (Reuters) - A toy gun-wielding child, New York high
society at play and bored Tokyo commuters are just a few of the
startling images at a new Tate Modern exhibition exploring the
relationship between two of the 20th century's leading
street-life photographers. "William Klein + Daido Moriyama"
features more than 300 vintage prints, paintings, original
photo books and installations by U.S. photographers Klein and
Japan's Moriyama in a show which runs from October 10 until
January 20.
Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman split after 30-year marriage
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actors Danny DeVito and Rhea
Perlman are separating after 30 years of marriage, DeVito's
spokesman said on Monday. Stan Rosenfeld said the pair had
split but gave no details.
World Chefs: Phan shares food, journey from Vietnam
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Vietnamese-born chef Charles Phan
shares his passion for his homeland and tips about how to cook
its delicious food in his first cookbook, "Vietnamese Home
Cooking". Phan and his family fled to Guam from Vietnam in 1975
before settling in San Francisco a couple of years later. In
1995 he opened his restaurant Slanted Door, which has won
acclaim for its modern interpretation of traditional Vietnamese
food. He now runs six other eateries in San Francisco.
Creator of "Sopranos" back with rock'n'roll tale
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The creator of the popular "Sopranos"
is back, this time on the big screen with a new saga set in the
New Jersey suburbs filled with teenagers and rock 'n' roll
instead of mobsters and violence. David Chase's cinema debut,
"Not Fade Away", which premiered at the New York Film Festival,
is a coming-of-age story set in the early 1960s, centered
around a group of teens who form a band and taste the entwined
allures of rock music and rebellion.
"Dexter"s Michael C. Hall takes a turn toward dark laughs
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Dexter" star Michael C. Hall has
always been attracted to cutting-edge projects, so it's no
surprise to see the actor who plays the blood spatter
analyst/serial killer pop up in the edgy, dark comedy Web
series "Ruth & Erica". Starring "ER's" Maura Tierney as a
lonely middle-aged woman trying to deal with her increasingly
frail parents, the 13-episode show debuted on WIGS, YouTube's
No. 1 channel for scripted drama, last month.
Lost diaries help solve "young Mona Lisa" mystery
GENEVA (Reuters) - A package of diaries said to have been
posted to the United States from Britain in the 1960s could
provide a vital clue to the origin of a controversial portrait
presented in Geneva last month as Leonardo da Vinci's original
"Mona Lisa." But in a twist typical of the intrigue-prone world
of art, the diaries -- notes by early 20th century British
connoisseur and collector Hugh Blaker -- disappeared and the
Washington address they were sent to seems never to have
existed.
"I'm no vandal," says man who defaced Rothko art
LONDON (Reuters) - A man who claims to have defaced a major
painting by Mark Rothko over the weekend in London said on
Monday that Marcel Duchamp, the French artist most famous for
his 1917 urinal that shocked the art establishment, would be
"happy" at what he had done. Police are investigating the
incident on Sunday at Tate Modern gallery on the River Thames,
where witnesses saw a man approach Rothko's 1958 canvas "Black
on Maroon" and inscribe it with black ink in the lower
right-hand corner.

Ахтынский краеведческий музей — собрание из десяти залов, трёх фондохранилищ, и более, чем 12 тысяч различных экспонатов, отражающих историко-культурную и географическую самобытность Ахтынского района Дагестана в частности, и лезгинского народа в целом. Лучший сельский музей бывшего СССР. Считается одним из лучших сельских музеев нынешней России. Одна из главных местных достопримечательностей и объектов культуры.

История музея

В 1930-е годы, считавшаяся образцовой, Ахтынская средняя школа № 1, заняла второе место на всесоюзном конкурсе. После этого директор школы Нурудин Дагларов решил создать школьный краеведческий музей. В 1937 году экспонаты школьного музея были переведены в ныне действующее, на тот момент отданное под колхозные склады, здание Ахтынской Джума-мечети. Собрание экспонатов в мечети было учреждено как музей, а Нурудин Дагларов назначен его директором. Таким образом, музей оказался вторым в Дагестане после музея в Махачкале. За 25 лет управления Нурудина Дагларова фонд музея составил 3000 экспонатов. В 1963 году на посту директора его сменил сын, Фикрет Нурудинович Дагларов. С 1991 года директором музея является его сын, Ахмед Фикретович Дагларов. В том же году начались драматические моменты в истории музея.

В связи с распадом СССР, стало возможным возрождение Ахтынской Джума-мечети, здание которого было занято музеем. Было предложено закрыть музей, однако, стараниями директора и сотрудников, музей продолжил своё существование в здании бывшего районного комитета КПСС.
В советские годы музей нередко посещали туристы со всего СССР, а также делегации из стран Восточной Европы. В наше время музей хранит более 12 тысяч экспонатов.

Описание
Музей содержит различные экспонаты и экспозиции, представляющие историческое развитие, культурную самобытность, географические особенности и флору и фауну Ахтынского и соседних районов периода от Каменного века до наших дней. Материалы музея собраны в десяти залах, трёх фондохранилищах, в коридорах и фойе на двух этажах здания. Экскурсии начинаются с первого зала на первом этаже. Зал начинается с фотоэкспозиции «Мой Лезгистан» с фотографиями сёл и пейзажей Южного Дагестана. Помимо этого в зале находятся чучела животных и древние окаменелости, географические экспонаты и сведения об Ахтынском районе и Дагестане.

В фойе расположена пушка начала 19 века тульского производства, экспозиция флоры и фауны Ахтынского района, картины. Далее следует исторический зал, вобравший в себя коллекцию рукописей, старинных монет, элементов архитектуры, различного вида оружия. В зале находятся макеты Ахтынской крепости, дербентской Нарын-Калы, первобытных людей, быта горской сакли, орудия труда, скелеты древних животных, женские украшения.

Далее, на втором этаже находится зал, посвящённый Великой Отечественной войне и советской эпохе. В зале находятся военные карты, документы, портреты личностей, и прочие экспонаты. Затем следует зал культуры, содержащий портреты и атрибуты жизни выдающихся уроженцев Ахтынского и других лезгинских районов, а также старинные вещи, вышедшие из обихода местных жителей.

Музей производит сбор старых, ненужных людям вещей для их сохранения. После зала культуры следует зал спорта. Очень много выходцев из села Ахты имеют большие достижения в области спорта. Зал содержит фотографии, кубки, грамоты и другие предметы, принадлежавшие спортсменам. Оканчиваются экскурсии в последнем — культурном зале. Экспонаты зала дают представление о культуре и быте, национальном колорите лезгинского народа. Помимо прочего, зал содержит традиционные женские костюмы народов Дагестана, различные макеты и картинную галерею, описывающую события, традиции и обычаи, мировоззрение лезгин.

Проблемы музея
В наши дни музей переживает тяжёлые времена. Из-за трудностей с финансированием, невозможно выполнить необходимые работы по проведению капитального ремонта здания музея. Особой проблемой является нехватка помещений, из-за которой многие экспонаты, находясь на складах, не демонстрируются обществу.

In accordance with s.15(3) of the Public Service Act 1999 (the Act) the Australian Public Service Commissioner, as the agency head of the Australian Public Service Commission (the Commission), has established procedures for determining whether an APS employee, or former employee, in the Commission has breached the Code of Conduct, and for determining sanctions. These procedures are made publicly available in accordance with s.15(7) of the Act.
Agencies may wish to use these procedures as a guide to help them establish their own, but should bear in mind that the Commission's procedures have been developed in the context of its function and size (a small agency of fewer than 350 employees). Agencies may wish to adapt these procedures to suit their own functions and operating requirements.
Please contact the Ethics Advisory Service on (02) 6202 3737, or by email at ethics [at] apsc.gov.au if you have further questions.
I, John Lloyd PSM, as Agency Head of the Australian Public Service Commission, establish these procedures under subsection 15(3) of the Public Service Act 1999.
These procedures commence on 8 May 2017.
These procedures supersede the previous procedures made for the Commission under subsection 15(3) of the Act.
whether a person who is an Australian Public Service employee in the Commission, or who is a former APS employee who was employed in the Commission at the time of the suspected misconduct, has breached the APS Code of Conduct in section 13 of the Act.
any sanction to be imposed on an APS employee in the Commission who has been found under these procedures to have breached the Code.
As soon as practicable after a suspected breach of the Code has been identified and the Australian Public Service Commissioner, or a person authorised by the Commissioner, has decided to deal with the suspected breach under these procedures, the Commissioner or that person will appoint a decision-maker to make a determination under these procedures.
The role of the breach decision-maker is to determine in writing whether a breach of the Code has occurred.
The breach decision-maker may undertake the investigation, or seek the assistance of an investigator. The investigator may investigate the alleged breach, gather evidence and make a report of recommended findings of fact to the breach decision-maker.
The person who is to decide what, if any, sanction is to be imposed on an APS employee who is found to have breached the Code will be a person holding a delegation of the powers under the Act to impose sanctions.
These procedures do not prevent the breach decision-maker from being the sanction delegate in the same matter.
The breach decision-maker and the sanction delegate must be, and must appear to be, independent and unbiased.
The breach decision-maker and the sanction delegate must advise the Commissioner in writing if they consider that they may not be independent and unbiased or if they consider that they may reasonably be perceived not to be independent and unbiased; for example, if they are a witness in the matter.
The process for determining whether a person who is, or was, an APS employee in the Commission has breached the Code must be carried out with as little formality, and with as much expedition, as a proper consideration of the matter allows.
The statement may be a written or oral statement and should be provided within 7 calendar days or any longer period that is allowed by the decision-maker.
For the purpose of determining whether a person who is, or was, an APS employee in the Commission has breached the Code, a formal hearing is not required.
The process for imposing a sanction must be consistent with the principles of procedural fairness.
give the employee a reasonable opportunity to make a statement in relation to the sanction or sanctions under consideration.
The statement may be a written or oral statement and should be provided within 7 calendar days or any longer period that is allowed by the sanction delegate.
if a statement of reasons was given to the person regarding the determination in relation to suspected breach of the Code, or, in the case of an employee, regarding the sanction decision, that statement of reasons or those statements of reasons.


Hi, My favorite thing is sitting down with you one on one about what keeps you awake at night. What is really bugging you? Let's solve it together. Maybe we'll cut costs, maybe we'll improve revenue, or maybe we will do both (yay!). As an autodidact, I pride myself on learning new technologies and continually improving my skill-set. As a freelancer, I believe in professionalism, communication, clean code and representing my craft to the highest degree possible. I provide creative, high-tech solutions to your web design and programming needs. I adhere to industry best practices and bring to your projects the disciplines of MVC framework design patterns, git version control and project management systems such as Jira, Trello and Asana. I can either work alone or in collaboration with your existing development team. My projects have been as lead developer or team member alike with great success. Thanks a million.

Manufactured in the USA using controlled atmosphere brazing, the epoxy-free core has two rows of one inch tubes and measures 17.75 inches from header to header, 16.33 inches from side to side, and 2.25 inches thick. Aluminum tanks are TIG welded to the core to provide the strongest possible bond and has a 1.00 inch inlet and outlet. Each unit is individually tested prior to shipping and guaranteed to be 100% leak free.


Tam, we wanted to post Q&A with you on our blog. We're grateful for your skills as a sewing machine mechanic and we think our customers would be interested to learn about what you do here.
How did you learn to repair sewing machines?
I learned to repaired sewing machines in Vietnam over the course of 4 years. During that time, I learned to repair all types of sewing machines — single needle or double needle, overlock, binding, bartack, etc. Pretty much all kinds of machines!
You also sew and bartack in our factory. In what ways does your knowledge and skill when it comes to sewing and bartacking impact or influence your work repairing sewing machines?
I learned how to sew and bartack after learning how to repair — and sell — sewing machines. In order to do those jobs well, I wanted to learn how to sew and bartack. That was all about 30 years ago, so I've had many, many years of experience since then. You could say I know sewing machines quite well by now.
What are the difficulties in repairing industrial sewing machines like ours?
Definitely the electronic aspects of the machines.
Random question: name something you like to do outside of work.
I have my own garden and I specialize in growing flowers, so I like to go on YouTube and explore and learn about the latest techniques and tips in gardening.
Note: for details on the Luminary 12, 15, and 210 ballistic bags pre-order, see this post. Pre-order opens 02/26 and closes 03/05.
— several of you asked for us to share more about the PPB process and we decided the Luminary 12 and 15 PPBs would be the perfect opportunity to do so.
Note: the detailed why and how behind these features and updates are shared over here in the pre-order announcement for the Luminaries. We're listing the features below as they are referenced multiple times in the PPB notes.
This is us at our holiday party! Note the guest of honor in the photo: June Johnson, TOM BIHN Production Manager Emeritus.
How we used to accept backorders and pre-orders, why we stopped, and why we began again to do so.
The really long FAQ all about how our new pre-order system works.
You guys told us you like the new pre-order system for new design debuts and we worked hard to make it as efficient as possible on the production/shipping/customer service side of things. To us, that means it was a success. We expect most major design debuts going forward (with the exception of the Cyber Monday debut) to be pre-order debuts.
On the left is Nik's Minimalist Wallet #3 in Island. On the right, the wallet from which our photographer downsized.
We debuted new Mesh/Aether Packing Cubes. Design criteria: packing cubes that don't weigh much, allow one to see the contents of the Packing Cube without revealing too much and provide enough body and structure to make packing the cube easier. This also marked the debut of a new color of Aether: Island blue.
Based on feedback shared in our Forums, we adjusted the size of our Passport Pouch and decided to offer the new size in two versions: RFID-blocking and non-RFID-blocking.
We introduced totally optional internal frames and a padded hip belt for the Aeronaut 30 and Aeronaut 45 travel bags.
Our first pre-order of 2018 was for The Truck, Zip-Top Shop Bags, and a special production run of the Small Original Shop Bag.
We made Freudian Slips in a variety of 210d ballistic nylon colors.
Our last debut of 2018 featured four designs: Nik's Minimalist Wallets, the Shadow Guide, Road Buddy Duffels, and Tom's Firewood Carrier.
The Field Journal Notebook bid its final farewell after returning from retirement one last time.
We retired the Packing Cubes sized specifically for the Pilot, Night Flight Travel Duffel, Stowaway, Hero's Journey and Yeoman Duffels. We also made a list of the Packing Cubes and Stuff Sacks that work great in the place of those bag-specific cubes.
Over the past several years, interest in designing bags has increased. We've given several tours to folks who want to become bag designers (including an eight-year-old who wanted to become a bag designer to earn enough money to help her family adopt a sister for her!) In this blog post, Tom shared his advice for prospective bag designers.
Chef Simoni shared another recipe with us and we got to interview him this time.
Tom's thoughts on top-loader packs and why some people love 'em and others…. don't.
The Aeronaut 30/45 Travel Bags FAQ answers questions ranging from "What does Tom consider to be some of the more unique features and aspects of the Aeronaut design?" to "Why not just include the Internal Frame and sew in the Padded Hip Belt?" and "Can I lock the zippers of my Aeronaut?".

Seattle folks: come hang out with us!
Our Factory Showroom will be open Saturday, December 8th from 10:00am until 2:00pm.
We'll have hot coffee, Darcy's homemade chocolate chip cookies (gluten-free, vegan, and we swear they're still really good), Tom's homemade chocolate chip cookies Tom's homemade biscotti (definitely lots of dairy and gluten and also very good) and, of course, bags. This is the only Saturday we're open all year. Hope you can come down and join us!
Kat and Cody have decorated the showroom with lots of reindeer. Apparently, reindeer are as fond of O-rings as we are.
Zhong is currently working on making Brain Bags.
Next Friday, December 14th is the last day to place an order via UPS Ground or USPS to make sure it arrives by or on December 24th. In an effort to make sure as many orders as possible can ship UPS Ground, we'll be shipping all orders received by 4:00pm PT (our typical shipping cut-off is 12:30pm PT). And, of course, there will still be time to order and receive your order by December 24th — see our Holiday Schedule for more details on all of that.
More colors of Aeronaut 45 and Synapse 25 were restocked yesterday.
Brain Bags in Black/Cloud and Nebulous/Cloud will be restocked early next week.
The Side Effect in Black/Northwest Sky (amongst other colors) is in the works / will be restocked by December 21st.
The Cadet in colors Black/Island, Burnt Orange/Northwest Sky, Verde/Northwest Sky, Steel/Island, and Navy/Northwest Sky is in the works / will be restocked by December 21st.
In this post, we share some of our thoughts on and the history of how we've offered pre-orders over the years. If you want to get straight to the nuts and bolts of how pre-orders work now, see our Pre-Orders: Frequently Asked Questions post.
For the longest time (something like 2001-2015) we accepted backorders for existing designs and pre-orders for new designs on our website. Our choice to accept backorders and pre-orders was important to our growth over those years and there were other benefits as well: notably, we could plan our production schedule around the bags that we already had orders for (as opposed to forecasting what bags we might get orders for).
Around 2015, we stepped back from our daily operations to reflect on our past, present, and future. We tore down some walls, turned our focus towards some key procedural improvements, and evaluated the impact of various small — but important — efficiency improvements we had implemented in our production department over the past couple of years.
One of the major changes we decided to make was to no longer offer pre-orders of new designs or backorders of existing designs. Three of the main reasons behind this decision were: the combination of greater efficiency and the hiring of a few new talented personnel in our production department meant that our production capacity had significantly increased; we were outgrowing our current website and the options that looked the best to us didn't allow us to accept pre-orders and backorders as we previously had; we were finally outgrowing what had been a pretty darn good system for managing backorders. Eliminating pre-orders and backorders was an easy way we could reduce complexity — without, at that point in time, reducing a significant benefit to our customers.
Flash forward to 2018. Our production department is still hecka efficient. We've continued to occasionally add a new crew member to our factory — but only when we were certain we could devote the full attention and significant amount of time it takes to train a new crew member to Lisa and Fong's exacting standards. Over the past few years, we designed and programmed our own inventory and production management software and inventory scanning/tracking system, rebuilt nearly our entire website on a new platform, and reviewed, improved and documented all fulfillment related procedures. That's all in addition to new designs and new fabrics.
We're in a good place. So good that we think we might've just found our happy place. Our company is now comprised of 47 people: not too big and not too small. We don't have any plans to aggressively pursue or promote growth at the rate we experienced in previous years, but demand for our bags continues (something we never take for granted).
This year, we retired more designs than ever before, as had been the plan for a while: a smart decision, perhaps, but one that often didn't feel that great (sometimes, as an artiste is prone to do, we disparage our own work and wish it would disappear — but more often, designs that have been a part of our line for years just become part of the family).
We also found ourselves a bit restless and wanting to experiment more with new offerings. Amongst Tom and Nik's various designs are those that we look at and wonder — "Would anyone find this useful?" Or, we might find ourselves with the opportunity to purchase a smaller quantity of a very cool fabric or color — not enough to offer a significant number of bags in, but perhaps just a production run.
As Nik trained Mike to manage finished goods ordering, we reminisced about the days when we placed some finished goods orders based on what had already been purchased. It was more of a sure thing to order what we knew was already wanted — and the entire crew enjoyed knowing they were making bags for specific people who already couldn't wait to get them.
Those three considerations and subsequent conversations — the sadness related to retiring designs, the excitement of offering small or limited edition runs, and the efficiency and connection to customers inherent in ordering already-purchased bags — led us back to pre-orders.
In 2018, pre-orders are much different than they used to be. Most payment gateways nowadays don't allow authorizations that last longer than a few days. That means we must immediately charge the full amount for any pre-ordered item. That this makes us hesitate in the day and age of crowdfunding is probably a little laughable and points to our Pa Ingalls sensibilities when it comes to money and debt. (To be clear: our pre-order system is not about crowdfunding.) But hesitate we did, until we were convinced that it's normal. Plus, we would, of course, gladly refund someone's money and cancel their pre-order at any point in the process.
While we have planned, documented, and tested down to the most minute, most boring detail the internal logistics of our first pre-order debut, we are leaving open the possibility that there is much we will learn once the rubber hits the road.
We even dare to say your feedback is required. What isn't a requirement, but something we generously receive nonetheless, is your support. Whether that support is demonstrated through constructive criticism, appreciation, or recognition of individual efforts, it's always seen and absorbed (though not always acted upon).
The next design debut after this one may or may not be a pre-order debut. If it is a pre-order debut, certain aspects may be changed. You've been warned by us — and Heraclitus.
Back in 2015 we made the decision to retire a number of designs including the Field Journal Notebook. And then, in 2016, we announced its return. Now, in 2018, we are once again retiring the Field Journal Notebook. This decision was made partly because of two materials supply related reasons: first, the Field Journal Notebook's three-ring binder mechanism is no longer available, and second, the cost of the specially-produced-just-for-us FJN paper inserts/refills have gone up by a substantial amount that we'd rather not pass on to you.
In addition, unpunched Half Letter or A5 (different but fairly similar sizes) paper can be acquired and an industrious person could make their own custom pages (or find one that works for them on sites like Etsy) and use a Mini 3-hole punch such as this one by Staples or an adjustable punch such as this one by Swingline to print and punch their own replacement pages.
Finally, there have been some helpful discussions about this on the forums, such as the Where to Buy FJN Insides, Field Journal Notebook Hole Spacing, and Field Journal Notebook threads, all of which are worth a look if you're interested in more information about planners and hole punching for the Field Journal Notebook.
Many thanks goes out to our volunteer Forum Moderators moriond and Ilkyway for the links / information / tips referenced in this blog post.
And, as always… if you have questions about any of this, emailus@tombihn.com or give us a call at 1-800-729-9607 or 1+206-652-4123.

Arts centre anchor retires
Empowering artists . . . Cheryl Taylor, of Luggate, has helped artists find space to create for 20 years. PHOTO: SIMON HENDERSON
The Wanaka Arts Centre has been a central part of the arts community for 20 years, providing affordable spaces for up to 300 artists a year, including painters, printers, knitters, potters, musicians and more.
The key figure since the centre opened in 1998 has been Cheryl Taylor, of Luggate.
Now after 20 years of managing the centre, Mrs Taylor is stepping down to spend more time with her family.
The small building that houses the centre was once staff quarters for the old THC hotel and when the hotel closed, the building passed into council ownership.
In Wanaka there was a "desperate need" for space where artists could work "and a group of us recognised that", Mrs Taylor said.
The group established the Wanaka Arts Centre Trust and began leasing the space from the council.
Mrs Taylor was the secretary and treasurer and managed the rooms from the beginning.
The aim was to allow artists to have access to a workshop where they could create, Mrs Taylor said.
"A lot of the artists at the turn of the century didn't have a lot of money, and it was only $12 a week for a room, so it made it affordable for artists to follow their dream."
Later, space was provided to allowed groups to come together, Mrs Taylor said.
"We created a community room, which was a very good idea, because a lot of groups had nowhere to go, so there's painters' groups, there's embroidery, there's singing groups, artists come in and do workshops.
As Wanaka changed, musicians and music teachers discovered the centre and now about eight music teachers use the centre.
The rent had been revised but was still very affordable, at under $20 a week for a room, Mrs Taylor said.
Queenstown Lakes District Mayor Jim Boult paid tribute to Mrs Taylor for her 20 years of service looking after thecentre.
"I would like to thank Cheryl for her tireless commitment to the arts community in our district.
"During her time at Wanaka Arts Centre, Cheryl has been instrumental in nurturing and developing the region's vibrant arts culture [and] we wish her well for her future endeavours."

AFLW 2019 To Kick Off With New Teams And Better Facilities
The AFLW is back with two new Victorian teams and better facilities for players and spectators as part of the Andrews Labor Government's $50 million investment in women's sport.
Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula today joined AFLW stars to celebrate the season launch and welcome Geelong and North Melbourne to the women's competition.
There's been a massive increase in female participation in football, from 9,354 registered players in 2016 to 26,400 in 2018.
The Labor Government is supporting this growth, delivering the facilities our AFLW stars need to shine and inspire even more women and girls to play.
The Government's investments in AFLW venues include:
$20 million to redevelop Ikon Park into the home of women's football
$13 million for Stage 2 of the Moorabbin Oval redevelopment, to build a range of community facilities and deliver upgrades that will enable the Saints AFLW team to play there from 2020
$5 million to improve playing conditions at Casey Fields for AFLW competition
$5 million to improve facilities for AFLW players, umpires and spectators at Whitten Oval
$2 million for infrastructure upgrades for AFLW at Victoria Park.
It's not just the elite game that's receiving unprecedented investment – the Labor Government's $180m Community Sports Infrastructure Fund and Country Football and Netball Program have supported 150 projects across the state to make facilities female friendly and encourage women and girls to get involved.
The Change Our Game campaign, supported by $7.2 million from the Labor Government, is also working to level the playing field for women and girls in sport and recreation.
Quotes attributable to Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula
"The 2019 AFLW season kicks off this weekend in Geelong, and I would encourage all footy fans to get along and enjoy the action."
"Whether you're going down to your local club to try footy for the first time or you're an elite AFLW player, the Andrews Labor Government is making sure women and girls have access to the facilities they need."

The suspense is really cranked up in Onyx, particularly in the second part of the book and I had a hard time putting it down.
JLA writes romantic suspense so well, and I was literally tearing my hair out at times, but in a good way.
A brilliant read, worth checking out.
P.S Does anyone else think that the guy on the front cover so does not do Daemon Black justice? DB in my head is way, way hotter. Don't get me wrong, the model is fit, but doesn't quite match up to the description of DB, in my opinion.


Gabb: Hi everyone, this is Gabb (@tegomass) and Kite (@mossyzinc). We were in Toronto for the weekend and had the chance to interview Jason Brown, the 2014 Olympic Bronze Medalist in the Team Event, the 2015 US Champion and the 2018 Four Continents Bronze Medalist.
Kite: First of all, your packaging this season, with the Short Program and the new haircut, is obviously quite a bit different from what we've seen in the past. [Jason: Yes.] Was this an intentional move on your part as you relocated your training base, or a result of the changes you've been making this season?
Jason: The hair part of the package was something that I was going to change no matter what. I kind of knew after the last four years, or the last quad, that I was, I need a change no matter what. So, I knew the hair was coming, but the program was definitely based off of last season, and not as like, but kind of a passive aggressive kind of play on the words that I've done - like my last two Long Programs have had 'love' in the title [The Scent of Love and Inner Love] and so then I did a Short Program that had 'love' in the title but it's in more of an aggressive way. It's kind of like a little jab at myself, but I just love it, and so that part of the packaging has made me feel more in power of owning that situation and playing off to that.
Jason: I'm so glad you guys love it! [Gabb: We really did!] Thank you!
Kite: So, also you've been quite vocal on Twitter and social media about being involved in the Ronald McDonald House Charity.
Gabb: Yeah, we wanted to know how that came about?
Jason: Yeah, so after actually the 2014 Olympics, it was really when I started doing more of the Grand Prix's and more of the bigger events so, and with that, more people go to these events and throw obviously, one of the traditions is that people throw stuffed animals or things on the ice to show their support. So often, I travel to all these different places in the world, and unfortunately we're not always able to bring everything home with us and so I wanted to do something that I could feel the audience was showing their support, but then we could pay it forward, and I wanted to also find a way to do something that was global, that I could do no matter where I was in the world. We were looking at a bunch of different, whether it was children's hospitals or we looked into the Red Cross, and The Ronald McDonald House was one of the places that really stood out to me that not only did it involve kids and their families but it was the more, as we started looking into it, it was everywhere. You know, I've gotten to go to the Ronald McDonald House in Finland, and Taiwan, and Korea, and Japan. I've been in Europe, I've been all over the US - so that part made it unique because people at those events could feel like it was going to their community. I love kids and I love getting to go. [Gabb: It always looks amazing when we see it on social media.] [Kite: I had no idea it was so global! That's amazing.] Which, yes, it's been so neat! And the cool thing about the Ronald McDonald House is the more I've been involved in it, the more people have come up to me with their stories about how their family has stayed at the Ronald McDonald House, or one of their relatives has or how much of an impact it's had on their life, because it's not something that's as spoken about as I would've thought, but once I got involved, so many different people kept coming up to me.
Kite: That's really amazing. [Jason: Thanks.] So kind of playing off more of your social media, [Jason: Yeah, please!] Your friendship with Evgenia Medvedeva is all over social media, it's obviously so sweet to see.
Gabb: We love seeing pictures of you guys.
Kite: It makes our day when we see something like that. What is it like to be new to TCC [Toronto Cricket Club] and Toronto as elite skaters? Because you guys moved here around the same time.
Jason: Yes! It's really been incredible. I think having, going through this with someone else has made the whole process, however you want to call it, so much sweeter or so much easier. We're both coming here making so much change, so going through it and going through the ups and downs, adapting to a new environment, it's been so nice to do it side-by-side with Evgenia. When she first moved here, I helped her get all settled with everything in Canada. At first, I was like in my head, "I hope she likes me!" [Kite and Gabb laugh] because if she is annoyed at me by the time she's all settled and she's like "Urgh, and then I'm with him every day..." When she first came here, her mom didn't have a car, I was driving them everywhere. We were going to practices together, and I was just like "Please like me" because if we've spent all this time together and she's just like "Urgh," but luckily we've really become close friends and I love her so much, and it's been amazing just to see the growth this season as she's kind of had to break down some barriers and start building them back up.
Kite: Were you guys acquainted before?
Jason: We've known each other via competition, but that being said, no. We've talked and we'd take pictures at competitions, a little bit of Instagram DMs [direct messages] back and forth of just support after seeing each other. But that being said, it was really once Evgenia kind of made, or Evgenia and Brian, made her coaching change public, I wrote her because we were both moving, and I was like "Hey, do you need anything? I'm moving like three weeks before you," and then we starting talking much more, but it's just progressed from there.
Kite: You guys are going to go to Worlds together!
Jason: Yes! I am so excited!
Kite: Well, the best of luck to you both! On the flip side of being new to Toronto, what has been the hardest part of relocating your whole training base and moving to a new rink?
Jason: I think, the hardest part really was at the beginning. I think, creating new habits was very difficult. Something I think was so incredible with this coaching team was that they have been extremely patient, and extremely understanding. They've gone through it with so many people, coming into their training camp new and having to relearn certain technique and understanding that. During the summer, making so much change, I kind of felt like I got to this point where I was in no-man's land. Like I wasn't doing my technique - the technique I was doing before - correctly, and I wasn't doing theirs. All my jumps were messed up, I couldn't land anything, and there were just moments of like "What is happening?" [Kite and Gabb laugh.] I couldn't land triple loops, it took me like a good four weeks to start landing triple Axel's again. When I came to Toronto, the first week, I was doing triple Axels, and then as we made all these changes, it took four weeks before I got it back! I was just like "Oh my God, what are they thinking of me?" So I think that and staying true to not going back to old habits. A funny story I like to talk about, I remember calling my best friend and being like "I don't know, I just want to go back to some of my old habits for a day or two to feel good about myself again," and she was like "You did not move to Canada to go back to old habits!" It was so funny.
Kite: That's a good friend.
Gabb: Yeah, that's a really good friend.
Jason: A really good friend. [Gabb: Good pep talk.] Yeah, yeah, exactly. But, I stuck with it, and that part's gotten easier. The timing of moving was kind of right for me, and I felt like I moved at a right time. I was happy with that and I love Toronto, but that technical change has been the most difficult, and still something I'm… I feel like I've gotten it with the previous jumps, but moving forward with some of the other jumps that I'm working on that I haven't quite reached yet.
Kite: I mean, sometimes in competition especially if you're relearning your technique, it can be easy to revert back to old habits if you're nervous or under pressure. Is that something that takes over?
Kite: It's been so amazing to see the progress you have made, even in the past half season.
Gabb: We're really excited for Worlds. You're going to Japan, [Jason: Yes.] and we know you like to study Japanese, we wanted to know how that started, and how that's progressing?
Jason: My first Junior Grand Prix year [2010-2011] I went to a Junior Grand Prix in Japan, and I just fell in love with the culture and the people, and what I think was so amazing was, where we were at least, they didn't speak English. So the communication barrier is obviously there. It was kind of, for me, one of the first times travelling internationally where you were in another country where they weren't speaking - it sounds so horrible, because coming from the US and with English, it's so universal, which I think is something we take too much advantage of and I think it was something for me felt so special being in another country where there was that language barrier because you really felt like "Oh my gosh, to communicate I really want to learn their language." And so that's where it really started, and then I started of just teaching myself some words, and then I did take a few classes and then work with some tutors, just studying here and there when I can. But I love it, I hope to teach English in Japan one year. My goal is fluent before 40, so.. [Laughs] We'll see.
Gabb: Well, good luck with that! You seem to be doing well.
Jason: Absolutely. It was crazy. I was starting to pack for US Championships on Tuesday, like the Tuesday before us leaving. I go into my closet and my costumes aren't there, and I was like "Well, this is strange," but at the same time, my room is not that big. They only would be in my closet, they're not like somewhere else lying around. I started to think like where they could be, what could I do, and out of nowhere I was like "Oh my gosh, I left them in Croatia, I left them at my last event!' [Golden Spin of Zagreb 2018.] We finished a day early competing in Croatia, so I honestly think I just hung them back up in the closet in the hotel room, instead of packing them up right away, and then packed everything up and left. But I brought my exhibition costume home, the one that I did the next day. But it was… I was like "Oh my God, oh my God." I came in that day and I was like "Tracy, I need to like get this off my mind because I feel so bad but I won't be able to focus unless I come clean. I don't have my costumes," and she was like "Oh, it's okay!" She was so chill about it, which made me feel better. She was like "We'll figure something out!" I was like "My mom's on it, we are working hard on it," and basically, we first went through US Figure Skating to get all right contacts from the event and the hotel from the Senior B in Croatia, we tracked down the costumes; they were with house-keeping, which was crazy that they had them and they had kept them for months, and then, it all started. We went to FedEx, and my costumes went from like Croatia - now I don't even remember, but Croatia, to another country, to Paris, to Tennessee, to Michigan. It was all these different ways of getting it, so many different people that we were close to were starting to use all their different connections on how to get it. So, US Figure Skating's people were doing it from their FedEx people, and my dad's business was to get it from there, and my cousin works for Universal so Universal was trying to track it down with their FedEx people. It landed in Michigan and my parents drove to pick it up, and they had it back after my 20-minute warm-up, and before my 6 minute warm-up for the Short Program.
Kite: That is a saga.
Gabb: Did you have a backup costume at all?
Jason: I did! That being said it was more of like a turtleneck - skating pants and kind of a tight turtleneck for the short. And for the long, I just had an exhibition costume that I'd worn before that we were like "Okay, that's what we're going to do." We had backups just in case but [I was] shocked that I didn't need to use them.
Gabb: I'm glad it all worked out.
Jason: Me too. It's a good story.
Kite: It's funny to look back on, I'm sure.
Jason: Exactly. The fact that I left my costumes in Croatia and six weeks later realized. Like, had no idea, didn't even while I was unpacking, didn't think about it.
Kite: Do you think it affected your focus at all, going into Nationals?
Kite: And, if you could relive one moment of your career so far, what would you pick?
Gabb: Yeah, you can change it. Whatever you want.
Jason: I would say, if I could relive one moment… that's a really great question. It would probably be either, kind of like reliving 2014 Nationals. I don't think I really understood what was going on at the time, so to relive it and kind of… well I guess technically what makes it so special is that you don't really understand what's going on, but kind of embrace it more and really realize what I did, I think that would be cool. But something that was so meaningful to me was that World Team Trophy in 2015 and I finished skating and all the skaters from all the different countries came to the kiss and cry area and that was just really, really special to me and it meant a lot. I was just mind blown that they all came down to cheer me on.
Kite: That's really nice, that they came to support you. And I guess to wrap up, something that's really unique about your skating is that you're quite flexible, and you do show off this flexibility a lot in your programs, which is awesome, obviously. How did that become such an integral part of your style and do you have any tips for other skaters to improve their flexibility?
Jason: Kind of a funny story, but I wasn't flexible at all when I was younger - like couldn't touch my toes, couldn't do the splits, like anything. And I was at Junior Nationals when I was a Juvenile in the US and I didn't qualify for the final round, but I was sitting in the stands with coach Kori [Ade] watching the Juvenile Men's final, and Joshua Farris, who ended up winning that year  did a Charlotte [Spiral] and a Biellmann [Spin] and Kori was like "If you want to win Juvenile Nationals, and be good for the following year, then you have to work on your flexibility, like look at this, look how amazing this is." And, I was like "Okay, okay!" So, that's really where it began, and every night I would stretch, and I think that's kind of where it started. I wasn't someone who over-stretched as far as would push my body further than it could go, but with stretching, it's something that has taken time, but just every single night I would stretch a little more, and every single night just keep working on it and working on it throughout the years, and it's fortunately paid off and I've been able to use it. But I laughed about it with Josh because as he grew, he was like "I'm not flexible" and we would laugh about it because I'm literally flexible just because of you, and he'd be like "Oh my Gosh.' So we laugh about it because he's so flexible as a kid, but yeah, that's where it began. Cause if I wanted to win Juvenile, I needed to be flexible.
Gabb: I think that's about it.
Kite: Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us. [Jason: Of course! Anytime.] I know you're really busy with training, so we really appreciate it.
Gabb:: We wish you the best of luck for Worlds.
Kite: We can't wait to watch you!
Kite: So, thank you everyone for listening. We'd especially like to thank Jason Brown for taking time out of his very busy schedule to sit down and talk to us, and we do have another interview coming out so keep an eye out for that. If you want more figure skating coverage, please head over to our website, inthelopodcast.com for all of your figure skating needs. Thanks and see you soon.

Between 1830 and 1900 the number of Europeans living in Algeria grew from 7,000 to 580,000. During the first decades migrants the increase of population was only due to immigrations coming from different European countries. Later, migration was complemented by the birth of a generation of créoles born on the Algerian soil. Most of the migrants came from France, Spain, Italy, Malta and other countries such as Germany or Switzerland. They presented differences in culture, language, professional skills, wealth, but they had to live together as migrants on this African soil. How did access to marriage occur for these migrants, then for their sons and daughters ? What was the importance of exogamy in this particular context ? What were the characteristics of these men and women who married a foreigner, and why did they marry this way ? We will try to answer these questions by exploiting a database containing more than 11 000 marriage certificates recorded in twelve of the main cities of colonial Algeria (including the three largest ones: Alger, Oran and Constantine) between 1833 and 1894.

Waste receptacle PCN enforcement process
Where a borough council believes that a waste receptacle contravention has occurred, it may serve a Penalty Charge Notice on the person appearing to them to be the occupier of the premises.
The Penalty Charge Notice will usually be served by post.
Your next steps:
Pay the penalty charge
Payment details are on the Penalty Charge Notice.
You should pay within 28 days beginning with the date of the notice. If the borough council receives payment within the first 14 days, you only have to pay 60% of the penalty.
Make representations to the borough council explaining why you think you should not have to pay the penalty charge
The grounds on which you may make representations are:
No failure to comply with the requirements in respect of which the penalty charge was alleged to have become payable;
The receptacles in which household waste is placed for collection from the premises are adequate;
There was a reasonable excuse for the failure to comply with the said requirement;
In the case of a failure to comply with any requirement relating to the periods during which receptacles should be placed on a highway, no sign relating to those requirements was displayed on the side of the road as required;
The requirement is unreasonable;
The penalty charge exceeded the amount applicable in the circumstances of the case;
The recipient:
- never was the occupier of the premises in question; or
- had ceased to be their occupier before the date on which the penalty charge became payable; or
- became the occupier after that date.
AND has provided a statement of the name and address of the occupier (if that information is in the recipient's possession).
Even if one of these grounds does not apply, you may also ask the borough council to consider other reasons for cancelling the penalty, such as mitigation. However, the borough council is only bound to cancel the Penalty Charge Notice if they accept that one of the grounds above applies.
When making representations you should:
Explain your reasons fully and clearly;
Send clear copies of any relevant documents, keeping originals;
Make sure the borough council receives your representations within 28 days of the date the Penalty Charge Notice is issued. They may disregard representations received later. They may consider late representations, but do not have to.
The borough council considers your representations
The borough council must:
Consider representations received in time;
Decide whether to accept or reject them;
Send to the person who made the representations a Notice of Acceptance (if it accepts them) or a Notice of Rejection and a Notice of Appeal form (if it does not accept them).
If it has accepted the representations, cancel the Penalty Charge Notice.
The adjudicators have decided that a borough council should normally respond to representations within 3 months.
Notice of Acceptance
If you receive a Notice of Acceptance, you will not have to pay the penalty and you need take no further action.
Notice of Rejection
The person to whom a Notice of Rejection has been issued has 28 days, beginning with the date of service of that notice, to either:
Pay the Penalty Charge Notice; or
Appeal to the adjudicator. A Notice of Appeal form should have been sent to you by the borough council with the Notice of Acceptance. If this form is not enclosed, the borough council should be contacted to obtain one.
If you wish to appeal to the adjudicator later than the 28 days, you should still send your appeal but you must say on the appeal form why it is late. The adjudicator will then decide whether to allow you to appeal late.
If the penalty charge is not paid or an appeal made within the 28 days allowed, the borough council may issue a Charge Certificate.
This is the form which the borough council should send with their Notice of Rejection.
The grounds of appeal are the same as for making representations:
The adjudicator can only allow an appeal if one of these grounds applies. The adjudicator cannot allow an appeal for other reasons, e.g. mitigating circumstances.
Information on how to appeal to the adjudicator
Charge Certificate
This is a notice issued by the borough council increasing the penalty charge by 100%.
The borough council may issue a charge certificate where:
The penalty has not been paid and no representations against the penalty have been made to the borough council within 28 days of the date on which the Penalty Charge Notice is served; or
Representations have been made and a Notice of Rejection has been issued by the borough council, but the penalty has not been paid and no appeal has been filed wit hthe adjudicators within 28 days of the date on which the Notice of Rejection was served; or
An unsuccessful appeal has been made against a Notice of Rejection to an adjudicator, but the penalty has not been paid within 28 days of the date on which the adjudicator's decision is served on the appellant; or
An appeal against a Notice of Rejection is withdrawn before a decision is made by an adjudicator, but payment has not been made within14 days of the date on which the appeal is withdrawn.
Registration of Debt and Order for Recovery
If after 14 days of a charge certificate being served the penalty charge is still not paid, the borough council may register it as a debt at the Traffic Enforcement Centre.
The borough council may then recover the penalty through the county court:
The county court, on application from the borough council, will authorise the borough council to draw up an Order for Recovery. The borough council will serve this order on you, with a Statutory Declaration form.
If the penalty is not then paid, the borough council may apply to the court for a Warrant of Execution.
Pay the outstanding charge or lodge a statutory declaration at the Traffic Enforcement Centre.
Statutory Declaration
Where an Order for Recovery has been made, liability for the penalty can then only be challenged in the following circumstances:
You did not receive the Penalty Charge Notice in question; or
You made representations to the borough council concerned but did not receive a Notice of Rejection; or
You appealed to the adjudicator against the rejection by the borough council of your representations but had no response to the appeal.
If, and only if, one of these applies, you may make a statutory declaration.
The completed statutory declaration should be returned to the Traffic Enforcement Centre within 21 days beginning with the date of service of the Order for Recovery, although there are provisions for the court to allow longer.
A statutory declaration may only be made by the person against whom an Order for Recovery has been made.
It is a criminal offence to make a false statutory declaration.
For information available from the Traffic Enforcement Centre on the statutory declaration procedure and downloadable forms, visit the courts service website.
What happens next depends on the grounds for making the statutory declaration.
If the ground is that the Penalty Charge Notice was not received, the Order for Recovery, Charge Certificate and Penalty Charge Notice are cancelled. The borough council may then issue a new Penalty Charge Notice;
If the ground is that the Notice of Rejection or a decision from the adjudicator was not received, the borough council must refer the statutory declaration to the adjudicator who will decide what will happen next.

Home/World News/Canada updates travel advisory for Hong Kong after China enacts security law
Canada updates travel advisory for Hong Kong after China enacts security law
Canada has updated its travel advice for Hong Kong, saying the new national security legislation enacted by China could put Canadians at an increased risk.
In an update on its website, Travel Canada said as a result of the the new legislation, which came into effect on July 1, Canadians in Hong Kong "may be at an increased risk of arbitrary detention on national security grounds and possible extradition to mainland China."
Meanwhile, a global travel advisory remains in place that urges Canadians to "avoid non-essential travel" outside of Canada "until further notice."
The agency issued the advisory back in March, in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Travel Canada said Canadians should also "exercise a high degree of caution" in Hong Kong, due to "ongoing large-scale demonstrations."
"Political demonstrations of varying sizes are taking place regularly throughout Hong Kong," the website reads. "They can quickly spread to surrounding areas, including those frequented by tourists."
The agency warned that demonstrators and security forces have clashed, cautioning that police have often "reacted more swiftly and severely to unauthorized protests."
"They have used tear gas, rubber bullets and live ammunition as crowd control measures," the advisory reads.
On Wednesday, demonstrators took to the streets of Hong Kong to march in opposition of the newly enacted legislation.
The demonstrations coincided with the 23rd anniversary of Hong Kong's handover from Britain to China.
Chinese lawmakers approved the contentious security law on Tuesday. The legislation takes direct aim at some of the actions of anti-government protesters last year, in a move many see as Beijing's boldest yet to erase the legal firewall between the semi-autonomous territory and the mainland's authoritarian Communist Party system.
The text specifies that those who destroy government facilities and utilities would be considered subversive. Damaging public transportation facilities and arson would constitute acts of terrorism.
