This book is built around the idea "I wish it were true = it is true".While this book has innate appeal to those looking for meaning in their lives, if you're looking for a firm foundation for understanding coincidences in your life (i.e. intellectual integrity), you'd be better off buying an introduction to probability.
This book is a MUST read!!!!
If you've ever had that feeling like you were invisible...and wished just one time there was a signal that let you know you were on someone's...anyone's... global positioning system...there is such a signal. It's called a God wink. This book tells you how to find them and tap into them and make them work for you. The author is witty and funny and brilliant at weaving stories together that make you think "Hey, that's me he's writing about!"
I've liked it very much. Terrific!
Practical, skillful, pleasent and easy to read it.
I'm not a big Welch fan. I feel he is disingenuous; pretending his success is due to management ra-ra. He can't hide from his past; "Neutron Jack" and his brutal business tactics, extensive pollution and massive layoffs.
Oh my, one more motivational speaker, one more book about helping corporate America pad its pockets while its workers are supposed to ignore the core greed and put a smile on their faces and be Freds while the big shots benefit. Sorry, this just doesn't resonate with workers today who see their "profit centers" being sucked dry by the big home office and they are supposed to chin up and be a Fred regardless of the way the big boys (and ladies) are destroying the company they work for. Let's hope Fred is still practicing the Fred Factor when he shows up at WalMart or Dollar General looking for a job because his work has been outsourced, his branch consolidated or his job merged with three others.
Lots of people learn good ideas about successful living and restate them for others, but not so many actually put them into practice in their own lives. Mark Sanborn lives his message. The Fred Factor is not just stories from an author. It is also life wisdom from a practitioner. Mark's personal and professional life, when viewed over two decades (as I have), are inspiring. He's the kind of guy you want living in your neighborhood and whose kids you want playing with your kids.

Ok, this Globalization thing has gone too far!

Apparently, Salvatore Commesso is a big fan of American tv, much like Kim Jong Il. And after reading this I'm also starting to feel Il.
(From CN)
Italian Salvatore Commesso is entering his tenth year as a professional cyclist, and the skills that garnered him two national championships were just what Omar Piscina and Oleg Tinkov wanted when forming their new team, Tinkoff Credit Systems. Gregor Brown of Cyclingnews spoke with Totò about his off-season transfer right after the team's training camp, on the day of its presentation in Rome.
"I have one child, a boy; he is three years-old," the 32 year-old explained to me as we sat down on a couch in the lobby of Hotel Victoria Roma on the day of the team's presentation. "His name is Dylan. My wife and I actually selected the name because it was a name that we liked from Beverly Hills 90210, the name of the character played by Luke Perry. When we heard it, we immediately liked. You know he drove a Porsche in the show, and, of course, at the end he had a drug problem but it was the name we liked.
"We are expecting another child around June. Maybe it will be a girl," he proudly continued. Will it be a 90210 name for him or her? "No. We have been thinking of the names. 'Ginevra' we like a lot. Like the wife of King Arthur."

This study ended in 2000.
A consistent description of the Nation's water resources, that assesses regional and local factors affecting water-quality conditions and trends is needed by policy makers and managers. In the Allegheny-Monongahela River Basin, which includes the headwaters of the Ohio River Basin in western Pennsylvania (figure 1), the quality of many river reaches, tributaries, and ground-water supplies is degraded by acidic mine drainage (AMD), oil- and gas-well discharges, combined stormwater-sewer overflows, sediment loading, agricultural runoff, and urban-industrial discharges. AMD from abandoned bituminous coal mines is the most extensive cause of degraded surface-water and ground-water quality.
Funding was provided by the USGS-Water Resources Division (WRD) Federal Program during 1994-2000. The USGS-WRD communicated and coordinated activities through a local liaison committee consisting of interested scientists and water-resources managers from Federal, State, and local agencies and universities.

A web site for the Allegheny-Monongahela River Basin NAWQA study is also available.
In 1994, NAWQA activities began in the Allegheny-Monongahela River Basin. An intensive data collection effort was carried out during 1994-1998. Water quality and aquatic biology were collected at 10 fixed-network stream sites. The 10 sites have been selected for sampling either to represent basins dominated by a particular land use, such as coal mining, urban residential, agricultural, or forest or to represent basins having an integration of several land uses.
Surface water was sampled monthly or more frequently (at several high flows) at the 10 fixed network sites to evaluate seasonal conditions and trends in water quality. Constituents analyzed included common ions, iron, manganese, aluminum, nutrients, dissolved organic carbon, pH, dissolved oxygen, specific conductance, and temperature. At some sites, specific conductance and temperature were monitored continuously. For selected samples, pesticides, volatile organic compounds, and trace elements were analyzed. In addition to water-quality samples, data for habitat, algae, macroinvertebrates, fish community, fish tissue, and bed sediment were collected one or more times at the 10 fixed sites. Fish tissue and bed sediment have been sampled for hydrophobic organic compounds and trace elements from an expanded network consisting of the 10 fixed sites plus 9 other sites located below urban land use or coal mining land use to describe the occurrence of these constituents in the study area.
In 1998, 120 sites throughout the Allegheny-Monongahela River Basin study area and 60 sites in the adjacent Kanawha-New River NAWQA study area were sampled . These sites were sampled 20 years ago as part of the National Coal Hydrology Program conducted by the USGS in cooperation with the Office of Surface Mining and Reclamation to inventory the extent of water-quality degradation in coal- mining areas. The NAWQA synoptic sites were selected for sampling based on predominance of particular types of coal mining (such as surface mining or underground mining) or particular ages of coal mining operations (before or after implementation of the 1977 Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act) in the basin above the sample site. Basins without any known coal mining were also sampled to serve as reference basins. The sampling effort provided a regional examination of the status and trends of water quality improvement and to examine the relations between coal mining operations and water quality. In addition to water column parameters that include pH, acidity, Fe, Mn , Al, and flow, benthic organisms, habitat, and trace-element composition of bed sediment were sampled at selected sites .
Ground water in fractured coal-bearing rocks of the Appalachian Plateau and in unconsolidated sediments of the valley-fill deposits in the northern parts of the study area, were sampled at 30 sites as a reconnaissance effort to evaluate general water- quality conditions. In addition to constituents listed for the surface-water sites, water from wells also was sampled for trace elements (in the fractured rocks) and radon. In 1997-98, ground water was sampled from 30 wells located near reclaimed surface mines to evaluate effects on ground-water quality that may exist after nearby reclamation efforts conclude. In addition, ground water from 5 or more wells located in unmined areas will be sampled to provide reference conditions.

Tax hike/revolving loan fund citizen comments, Part 2
Citizen Comments, Part 2, 1/22/2019 Columbia Borough Council Meeting
Mary Wickenheiser: "Well all I ever heard about Social Security was, it was to help you in your retirement. It wasn't supposed to be your entire retirement. So somehow it has reached that point, and it's sad that it has reached that point, and I'm sorry there are people who are in that position, but the borough needs to do what is best for the borough."
Mary Wickenheiser said she supports what previous speakers Taylor Callaway and Kay Leader said in favor of the recent tax hike. Wickenheiser, who noted she was a member of council for 13 years, said that back then, council had resisted raising municipal taxes due to the school district's tax increases - in order to avoid overtaxing residents. "We know the school district's going to raise the taxes," she recalled. "We can't hit our citizens with two tax hikes." She added that holding the line on taxes was what got the borough to this point. "That's what got us here. We were too good."
Wickenheiser said she read that people are saying they can't afford the recent increase, because they're on a fixed income. "I'm on a fixed income. Well all I ever heard about Social Security was, it was to help you in your retirement. It wasn't supposed to be your entire retirement. So somehow it has reached that point, and it's sad that it has reached that point, and I'm sorry there are people who are in that position, but the borough needs to do what is best for the borough."
Wickenheiser turned to council and said, "Truthfully, you guys are really taking the heat on this one, and it shouldn't just be you who are taking the heat. We had a previous borough manager. He was there for how many years that I was there. Mr. Doutrich sat on council while I was there. He was appointed to fill a position . . . You guys are taking the heat for something you inherited from the past. And I commend you for having the guts to step forward and approve this tax increase."
Mindy Blasick: "There isn't one citizen that doesn't want us to thrive and benefit from that, but it feels like you're sucking the blood out of the citizens, to do it, and you don't want to listen. Your minds are made up."
Mindy Blasick said she has a wide range of sentiments on the tax issue. She quoted Winston Churchill: "There's a price to pay for greatness, and that's responsibility." Blasick then expanded on that sentiment - and on Wickenheiser's statement, "Whether you inherited it or however you got it, it's your responsibility to maintain this town." She explained further, "There isn't one citizen that doesn't want us to thrive and benefit from that, but it feels like you're sucking the blood out of the citizens, to do it, and you don't want to listen. Your minds are made up."
She said council should have started managing their budget like a household budget 10 years ago. Blasick said that due to the tax increase, she will now need to work more overtime and won't be able to help businesses. "It's just very frustrating," she said. "You can see it from both sides, but there has to be a middle ground." Blasick noted that the issues are dividing us. She also believes the borough is taking a gamble. "It's a great risk, and we're all going to pay for it."
Travis McCarty: "The buzz in Lancaster is honestly this town, so if you don't think it's moving in the right direction, you're wrong, because every person that comes in that bar is talking about the waterfront expansion, the hotel, everything, so if you're against it, by all means you have no idea the buzz that's getting created everywhere else in this county."
Travis McCarty asked residents to stop the name-calling on social media, because he finds it "unbecoming." He said the remarks reach beyond just the people in Columbia. McCarty said he wants to open a restaurant here, but his investors are reluctant "because of the language." He said they are now going to open the restaurant in Lancaster. He urged residents to treat each other with respect "and show outsiders who we are."
McCarty said he works for Columbia Kettle Works, and the establishment just opened its second location in Lancaster. "The buzz in Lancaster is honestly this town, so if you don't think it's moving in the right direction, you're wrong, because every person that comes in that bar is talking about the waterfront expansion, the hotel, everything, so if you're against it, by all means you have no idea the buzz that's getting created everywhere else in this county," McCarty said. "Lititz is talking about it. Ephrata is talking about it."
He suggested that residents might not understand the different taxes and offered to talk to them after the meeting "to break down some of the stuff you may not understand as citizens."
Council heard citizen comments at the January 22, 2019 Columbia Borough Council meeting.
Mike Shomody said he did the calculations and found that "$12 [per month] is what we're getting really upset about." He said the tax increase is the cost of doing business. "It has to go through, because the day-to-day operations have to be taken care of, and that does come from the general fund," he said, noting salaries and cost of living increases.
Of the loan fund, he said, "I look at this as an investment to the future of Columbia Borough. If we don't invest in commercial now, we will end up turning around, no one will move into this town, and then the buildings become vacant and fall over, and we have every other taxpayer in here bitching about that, then we'll pay for taxpayer dollars to demolish it and clean it up."
[A resident then stood up and began walking out, proclaiming, "Twelve dollars! 12 lunches for senior citizens. They're not supposed to eat for two weeks?!"]
Nate Bunty: "This isn't just a sudden thing. Columbia has been on an upward trajectory for several years, and people are starting to notice."
Nate Bunty said he has spoken in favor of what council has been doing over the last several years. "This isn't just a sudden thing. Columbia has been on an upward trajectory for several years, and people are starting to notice," he said. "I've gone to networking meetings with commercial lenders, realtors, business developers for 10 to 15 years. Lately, over the past several years, the buzz has been Columbia." Bunty said the negative perception of Columbia is "starting to go away."
Bunty noted that 96,000 people were on the trail last year and speculated: "Imagine if we build that expansion. 150 - 200,000 people might use the trail." Bunty is bullish about Columbia's future. "I think we're about to hit a hockey stick. We're going to shoot up. And again, I think those types of opportunities - those types of environments - scare some people. Change always scares some people."
He quoted author Seth Godin: "Those who accept uncertainty are the pathfinders for the rest of us." Bunty continued, "So if we accept some uncertainty, we can get pathfinder as a community. Some of our business leaders in the community are accepting that uncertainty. They're investing hundreds of thousands of their own dollars to change things in town here and accept that uncertainty and be a pathfinder for the community."
Sharon Lintner: "I want to see it thrive, but use your own money. Don't use ours. I'd like to have mine to put into my own home which is also my investment."
Sharon Lintner said she was born in Columbia. She told council she has made a huge investment in this town. As she was about to continue, Bunty shouted from the back of the room and was admonished by her and Murphy. "$12 a month is not what we're upset about," Lintner said. "We're upset about where and why - where it's going. I invested in my property. The developer in question will have a tax abatement. I will be paying more taxes while he pays less."
She pushed back on McCarty's suggestion that residents don't understand the difference between municipal and school taxes. "It doesn't matter if they're separate. We pay them all. I think it's wrong to take our taxes and give it to someone who stands to profit off our back." She said the ever-increasing taxes are "eroding away our lifestyle."
Touching on Wickenheiser's statements, Lintner said that not everyone is privileged to have access to a pension. "Fixed incomes for some are different for others," she said. She also explained that she is not against development in Columbia and has defended the town for years. "I want to see it thrive, but use your own money. Don't use ours. I'd like to have mine to put into my own home which is also my investment."

Mary Wickenheiser, don't "we the people" make up the borough? Isn't the borough there to do what is best for us, as opposed to what's best for the employees? Or the friends of officials who need jobs? If you are living off of more than SS, then you should consider yourself lucky and shut up and sit down. Did nobody ever tell you that it's not nice to gloat? You represent a very, very, very small percentage of the elderly within the community.
So Travis is choosing to open a restaurant in Lancaster, instead of Columbia? Did I read that right? Say it isn't so? Atta boy, way to put your money where your mouth is.
How does Nate know what council has been doing for the past few years when he's only been to less than a dozen meetings within the past 4 months?
Less than half a dozen
Sharon, your comments were all spot on and reflect the sentiments of the 1150+ residents that signed the petition. Thank you for speaking for us and representing us!
Let me just point this out and I won't name names. Two above who spoke in favor of this tax increase, one of you has an assessed property value of just over $50k and the other just under $50k, which means your tax impact is very minimal. A third one who applauded council has an assessed value of less than $75k, which said home assessment value actually was reduced at the countywide reassessment last year. Again, seeing a minimal financial impact from the increase.
While I may not necessarily agree with Mary, I do respect her right to say it. She should no more be told to shut up and sit down than Sharron or anyone else making comments. If you're not willing to allow her to voice her opinion, why should anyone listen to yours.
So why should a previous borough manager be held accountable for whether or not taxes are raised or decreased? Council makes that decision, NOT the borough manager. To you who said that, you should have had a clue about that since you sat on council for 13 years. Be accountable for your own actions, or lack thereof.
1. All the Kissy Kissy comments sound good. Worthless!! Those are TRYING TO INTIMIDATE the town, that's all.
2. People DO LIVE on SS, so suck it up. Good for you if you don't have to.
3. The guy talking about the language and not opening a restaurant? Get real. People aren't STUPID. (That one was funny).
4. People can't sell their lots of property to help with their retirement or move out because of the taxes. No one wants to move in.
5. The population isn't growing so WHY is the town growing all these new jobs that are not needed? SPEND SPEND SPEND...............
6. The "buzz"is just ringing in your ears called Tinnitus OR it is discussions of how you can't drive uptown because of the pot holes.
7. 12$ may be one man's increase, not everyone is 12$
8. This town is almost broke. HOW DO YOU THINK IT GOT TO BE BROKE? This is really very simple. When you don't have it,YOU DON'T SPEND
IT. No need to hire a rocket scientist to figure this one out.
Travis McCarty said...
When you understand how to run a restaurant, the cost of day to day operations, the cost of a liquor license, and many other things that you're ignorant to, please let's sit down and talk. I went through 12 buildings in Columbia and we were still undecided because many were pretty much going to cost an arm and a leg to get up to code. Secondly, when everyone was saying they are going to boycott Columbia businesses, an investor is not going to put forth money to get boycotted.
Smart move on the part of the investors. No doubt their decision to not invest in Columbia had little to do with rumors of boycotts.
Your plans to open a second location had to have been in motion before this loan fund debacle so I find it hard to believe a late night rant by a councilor, or social media posts decrying tax increases were the sole reason for investor issues, which is what you alluded to at the meeting. You are now saying the issue was the properties available would be too expensive to bring up to code. Did you apply for a loan from the revolving fund? It seems your needs are the ones we should be meeting with the fund. I have not heard anyone publicly say they would boycott your business if you opened in Columbia. Seems to me you are just making excuses for not putting your money where your mouth is.
First: I never heard anyone say that they are going to boycott Columbia businesses.
Second: I did not hear anyone ask Mary to shut up or sit down.
I said it, and maybe I should have said it differently. While she has a right to speak, her opinion and circumstances do not represent the majority and the majority should not be mislead.
I agree with you. Anonymous 1:29 my taxes went up excessively after the reassessment and it will be a good bit more than $12 a month with this increase.
Yes, there were comments made by people in town about boycotting buisness, look back threw on columbia spy, people saud they were not going to support local buisness because taxes were going up and the little extra money they had is now, gone, look back travis did speak the truth about that... buisness needs to come to columbia, but if more buisness comes to columbia and fills the vacant buildings would there be a need for a tax hike?? Or is the big tax hike the reason that travis didnt bring a buisness to town???
1.4 mills is objectively a small increase in total property taxes regardless of your assessment
Does Travis part own Kettle Works? I'm sure they didn't want 2 in Columbia so they have one here and one in Lancaster makes sense to me. My friends frequent the one here.
We seem to forget why the waste treatment plant was sold? Norm was in favor to put $8.5 million dollars into savings for the future and eliminate ALL the employees which was a huge savings for the Borough. Then after the Council and past "Market House Trust" (who ironically attended all the sewer plant meetings) saw the silver lining to have these funds readily available, put this Borough Council together for their liking.
Then the "letter scandal" which Greg Sahd never opened on behalf of Columbia's Municipal Authority's stay of execution. Council voted to disband the Authority and claim a little over $2 million dollars from their account. Now Columbia Borough has a nice fat account of $10.5 million dollars plus. Where is it?
No more income of more then $900,000 per year income from the plant. How do you survive?
Norm Meiskey was looking out for the taxpayers. Not tree grates, building loans, pipe dreams, studies and a slew of mishaps by this council. Investors are too invest, and thrive from the citizens of the Borough of Columbia. The rate of progress that I see is minimal for the money invested in the town. We still have over forty properties that need developed in the downtown district. I see no help extended to those who barely survive running their shops.
If Rebecca Denlinger was hired to jump start this town with all her background. Still would love to know how the KOZ was done incorrectly, and lost the McGinnis Airfield deal.
Double Crossing Columbia
Maybe the citizens can break down what YOU don't understand Mr. McCarty. How condescending to suggest we don't understand the different taxes. I've been paying these taxes longer than you've been on this planet. Yes, for over three decades now I've been writing a check in the spring for county and municipal taxes. I also have been writing a check in the fall for the school real estate taxes. The bottom line is: More now per year in TOTAL taxes. Thanks to council's vote, the total tax has just gone up, making Columbia the highest taxed municipality of all 60 in Lancaster County. As far as "language," perhaps you need to speak with a councilman about "unbecoming". Sharon Lintner
The exact irony of all of this, first off my money that my investors are putting up is just that MINE so you're opinion of it doesn't matter. Secondly, why do you guys keep posting anonymously, how do you expect anyone to respect or value an opinion. Thirdly when you understand economics and investments, get back to me. Last but not least you want me to put my money where my mouth is but $10 for a home apraised at $100,000 is too much for you. Makes a lot of sense, I'm good on the discussion and negativity.
No, he is NOT an owner of Columbia Kettle Works.
Travis mentioned he was opening a restaurant, not a brew pub! Kettle works already has another location in Lancaster. So I'm not sure what business Travis is referring to.
Why do you bring up the Market House Trust? That board did not attend M. A. meetings. If you are speaking of one member of the board, then name the member. I assure the Trust board as a whole, had no involvement with the Municipal Authority.
You bring up a good point. Maybe losing the McGinnis deal was planned. Then the borough had less to get approved from the State so they could continue to illegally fund the loan program and give their puppy all the benefits. Maybe at the next meeting if Mr. McGinnes comes, we should ask him what happened. I read in LNP what the one family member said. It clearly wasn't the family fault. It was Columbias fault that it fell through, BUT was it deliberate? It is all starting to make sense now. The underhand sneak just doesn't have any limits.
Sharon Lintner said...
The developer will pay less tax on his multi-million dollar hotel for the next ten years than I pay for my home. He stands to earn a profit off of his investment over those ten years, but as homeowners we don't. This is supposed to make the taxpayers of this borough happy. Add to that his request for a borough owned parking garage which will also cost taxpayers money and you've really sealed the deal to keep taxpayers happy.
Maybe you should care what you look like in front of council and the public to be taken as a investor with someone else money.
Rebecca is a consultant , NOT A MANAGER , it is showing.
In 13 years , if she put the time and our money into the town instead of the money pit the town would not be in the shape it is today
One day the empire will fall. I can't believe people can't see what's happening here. So if new people get elected could this all possibly change?
Very well stated! The borough is in a jam with MONEY they wasted!! Now there is no choice and i mean NO CHOICE but to CUT cost for the borough employees! When this takes place, you employees have better look at the magnificent SEVEN!! They tore this town apart and took it down! They should paint the whole town RED and call it HELL TOWN do to the Magnificent Seven!!
a lot of good points. However, I really can't comprehend that all these 1150 people who oppose the county municipal tax increase doesn't petition and boycott school board meetings. The school taxes are really what's killing this town! Even the middle class is having problems trying to pay the exorbitant school taxes. Why don't you all attend those monthly meetings???
there were people who DIDN'T want to sell the sewer plant because they had a crystal ball. I believe they have spent ALL that money plus many more HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS ON NONSENSE. the bottom line is: the councilors are NOT listening or acting on behalf of THEIR CONSTITUENTS. I do agree Columbia is seeing some what of a turnaround, a downtown revitilization, and that is thanks mainly to Don Murphy, any way you look at it. I still say thank you Mr Murphy. He is putting everything in trying to turn Columbia around. What are you doing? I also know MOST elderly in this Boro can't even afford their rent, their medicine, etc. That's on a higher level...the laws should be changed. You shouyldn't have to pay property taxes once you retire. You have paid them for decades. Tax the renters. Turn half of the 800+ rental properties into single family owned homes again. Then, you won't have the number of children in school that the taxpayer pays for. Lastly, the Phase III of River Park SHOULD BE SIMPLE, especially at this time. Revisit it in 10 years! Add benches and portapots on the existing trail. Add more parking for boaters with trailers. Add a water fountain. Stop this nonsense.
Good comments on the School Taxes. WHY DON'T YOU GET RID OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. Get these kids into a school district that is rated to help them get into colleges and other promote their futures. Unfortunately, neither Hempfield or Penn Manor want the district. They have made that pretty clear and it's because of the MESS the schools are in. Get the state involved. My kids are grown, but I would NEVER let them to go that school. When you do the research on the curriculum, the attendance and other factors, it is a real shame the taxes are that high to support SUB PAR performance and results. You want people to move in?? GET THIS DONE.
The school taxes are over the top, no argument there. However, our borough council has more flexibility to decide what money is spent on. It's easier to stop the municipal bleeding. Council can vote NO to tree grates, Christmas lights, trolleys, route 462 highway lights, fences, revolving loan fund ordinance, three new code trucks, a parking garage, etc.
The Market House Trust's President was Cleon Bernthiezel, with other good friend's Don Haines, Elaine Beckley(escaped friendship, good for her), Rebecca Murphy (Council President's wife) and a host of other coffee house supporters. Big Spenders!
If you want to change the school tax and have an effect on the number of rental units in the borough, why not pass a "flat" unit tax. If the building has three (3) units, charge three (3) fixed amounts with a variable value tax. This would help the single unit property owner and place the weight of the system on the landlords. Not sure if possible but maybe it should be looked into as an option.
The town is riddled with problems. A L L taxes are out of hand. Continue the fight with the Borough, but get the State involved to uncover the deception and Lord knows what else. The school district IS ALSO a major problem. Not only the lack of education for the kids already here, it is keeping people from moving in along with ridiculous A L L taxes. You don't fix one tax without fixing BOTH.
No Deninger just screwed up again.
Howard Stevens said...
It's going to be hard, Jobs will go to cover the expense of the river park and if the hotel is built the parking garage expense will cost more jobs. By November if we get new people in, it's going to be very hard for them to decide. As far as the school goes It was wonder full when we had company's giving good retirements like Armstrong, Caterpillar, Harley, among others, Anvil wasn't one for any retirement. But when a retiring School Teacher brags she makes more money retiring when working, and she made almost $ 80,000 a year,really, at local and state taxpayers expense minus her 10% she payed, yes and the state still does nothing, over $ 20,000,000 to graduate 80 kids. Correct me if I'm wrong, and I can't spell.
Let it go KOZ you cant do a thing about it.
What would happen at lets say the wagon works, or the st petes appartments? Can we say vacant.
oh hey, here;s an idea. STOP ALLOWING MORE PROPERTIES TO BE TURNED INTO RENTALS. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. Create an ordinance or something. Do something. Stop this nonsense. The hidious amount of rental properties in this boro is a BIG reason we have all the problems we do. And don't forget it also has a HUGE inmpact on the Police Dept. Can't wrap my head around WHY. WHY can't any of you managers or councilors figure it out. It really isn't rocket science.
It 's not the single family rental houses, it's multi units cause problems.
state involvement , please and hold these people accountable now. the loan program came in the back door with Deninger , now she is a manager , with consultant experience ,it is starting to show.
Two things to keep in mind.
The loan fund is either legal or it isn't. Until that is settled, it doesn't matter how you feel about it.
Secondly, the borough tax increased by over twenty percent making it the second highest in the county. Twenty percent is "substantial" and unreasonable regardless of the dollar amount.
Going forward, council must declare a moratorium on use of the loan funds until its legality is settled. Any attempt to use these funds now is a clear case of malfeasance and, perhaps, criminal. Council must also immediately develop and adopt a plan to recoup all loans if the fund is found to be illegal.
Some further thoughts.
There will be no relief from the burdensome school taxes until the state takes action on two fronts. First, PA must address the pension problem which now accounts for one third of educational payroll expenses. Secondly, the state must force a consolidation of the Columbia district or, more importantly, completely change how schools are funded.
Might as well advocate for air conditioning in the hereafter.

Filter: Some PMTAs Not Evaluated on Merits
Featured News This Week Regulation
Photo: Ronstix
Confronted with an unexpected large volume of premarket tobacco applications, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration subjected some premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs) to only a superficial review, according to documents obtained by Filter.
The report follows the FDA's denial of more than 1,167,000 marketing applications since Sept. 9, 2021.
The PMTA review process comprises three phases: Phase I (Acceptance), which essentially means an application has been received; Phase II (Notification or Filing), which entails acknowledging a company had enough information for its applications to be formally filed; and Phase III (Review), which involves a substantive scientific evaluation, followed by a marketing granted order or marketing denial order (MDOs).
Overwhelmed by the large number of PMTAs and facing a court-ordered deadline of Sept. 9, 2021, the FDA in effect opted for a shortcut, according to Filter.
The publication cites a memorandum signed on July 9 by Matthew Holman, the director of FDA Center for Tobacco Products Office of Science (OS). "Considering the large number of applications that remain to be reviewed by the September 9, 2021, deadline, OS will conduct a Fatal Flaw review of PMTAs not in Phase III for non-tobacco-flavored ENDS products," it reads.
The Fatal Flaw review is a simple review in which the reviewer examines the submission to identify whether or not it contains the necessary type of studies. "The Fatal Flaw review will be limited to determining presence or absence of such studies; it will not evaluate the merits of the studies," the memorandum states.
Filter suggests that CTP reviewers created what's probably a new method to get through a backlog of millions of PMTAs, searched those applications for longitudinal cohort studies and randomized clinical trials without evaluating any other evidence, and for applications lacking them, did not advance them beyond Phase II and just sent out templated MDOs.

Datuk Seri and Friend Remanded over Alleged Assault of Couple at Klang Bar
Chris Chan
A Datuk Seri surrendered himself to police over the alleged assault of a man and his girlfriend at a bar in Klang on Jul 31.
A couple claimed they were assaulted by a group of people, including a Datuk Seri, for being too noisy when they were playing card games at a bar in Klang.
In the incident, Thoo Kang Wei, 33, and Chong Sook Kuan, 31, claimed that despite apologising several times, the assailants hurled abuses and threw glasses at them, resulting in injuries to them.
Most of the injuries were cuts on the face and head from flying shards of glasses, with Thoo requiring 60 stitches.
The Klang magistrate court today granted a three-day remand for the Datuk Seri and his friend for the police to facilitate investigations.
Police said they are questioning the Datuk Seri to find out who else was involved in the incident.
The Datuk Seri's lawyer, Toh Harnniann, said that his client turned himself in on Tuesday as he wishes to use the legal system to clear his name.
"Eventually his innocence will be proven.
"I wish to add that the version given by the victims is not the whole truth," Toh said.
He declined to comment further on the case as it is still under police investigations.
The Datuk Seri's friend was arrested in the wee hours of Wednesday.

Shell ruling a vital step toward justice for widows of the Ogoni 9
Ruling on Shell a 'vital step towards justice' for Nigerian widows
On May 1, the District Court of The Hague, Netherlands, issued an interim ruling in the case brought by Esther Kiobel and three other women with regard to Shell's involvement in the unlawful arrest, detention and execution of their husbands by the Nigerian military.
It ruled in favour of the plaintiffs: the court does have jurisdiction over the case and that this should not be time barred.
The court also ruled that Shell should hand over some confidential internal documents to the plaintiffs' lawyers, and that they would have the opportunity to examine witnesses. The court will address the substance of the case next.
This decision marks a vital step towards justice for Esther and the others and sends important message to other victims around the world who are seeking to hold powerful corporations to account but struggle to access justice.
Decode Oil Spills: Innovative data project enlists thousands of digital activists to track Nigeria spills
The latest project from a revolutionary crowdsourcing platform will engage thousands of digital volunteers to help Amnesty International ensure justice for communities devastated by oil spills in the Niger Delta. Amnesty International supporters from all over the world can take part in the Decode Oil Spills project, which aims to hold oil companies like Shell and ENI to account for the environmental damage they have caused in the region. By analyzing data about oil spills, decoders will help to expose false claims by oil companies, and better empower local communities to demand proper clean up and compensation.
Nigeria: Shell complicit in the arbitrary executions of Ogoni Nine as writ served in Dutch court
New case could put an end to decades of impunity for Shell Esther Kiobel has fought for justice for her husband for more than twenty years
Oil giant Shell stands accused of complicity in the unlawful arrest, detention and execution of nine men who were hanged by Nigeria's military government in the 1990s, Amnesty International can reveal today, following the launch of an explosive new case against the company in the Netherlands over four of the executions.
The civil case has been brought by Esther Kiobel, the widow of Dr Barinem Kiobel, and three other women. Esther Kiobel has pursued Shell for 20 years over the death of her husband. He was hanged in 1995 along with the writer and human rights activist Ken Saro-Wiwa, and seven other men, collectively known as the Ogoni Nine. At the time the executions sparked a global outcry.

Jodie Whittaker scores big Doctor Who debut
Image: ©BBC
It's official – Jodie Whittaker is a hit with Doctor Who audiences.
Was there ever any doubt?
Oh, wait, yes there was – from a lot of naysayers who didn't want to see a female Doctor.
Well, despite the initial backlash that both Whittaker and the BBC faced when the actress was cast in the role of the 13th Doctor, audience figures suggest viewers are very interested in this new Doctor.
According to BBC News, the opening episode of the latest season of Doctor Who was watched by 10.9 million viewers – the highest amount of viewers for a Doctor Who series opener since the show returned to TV screens in 2005! The episode was also the biggest drama launch of the year, according to Radio Times.
As previously discussed on It's A Stampede!, representation matters. As we've seen with Wonder Woman (2017), Love, Simon (2018) and Black Panther (2018), if you make content that represents a broader audience, you will get a broader audience.
I've yet to watch the first couple of episodes of Whittaker's new Doctor (I've been very, very busy as of late), but I will hopefully catch-up shortly. In the meantime, here's a trailer for the third episode, Rosa, which hits screens this Sunday.

Frasers Commercial Trust (FCOT)'s FY17 DPU of 9.82 Scts was spot on with our expectation, at 100% of our forecast.
Positive portfolio rental reversion during the quarter underpinned by rental escalations in Australia.
We project near-term income volatility for Alexandra Technopark (ATP) due to income vacuum from the expiry of Hewlett Packard Enterprise's (HPE) lease.
New asset enhancement initiatives (AEI) planned for China Square Central.
Maintain Hold with DDM-based TP of S$1.46.
Frasers Commercial Trust (FCOT) reported 4QFY17 gross revenue of S$156.6m, -3% yoy as better performance at its Australian portfolio and stronger A$ was offset by lower occupancy at its Singapore assets, and higher expenses at Caroline Chisholm Centre and Central Park.
4QFY17 DPU was relatively unchanged yoy at 2.41 Scts.
FY17 DPU of 9.82 Scts was flat yoy and included 1.15 Scts of gains from divestment of its hotel development rights at China Square Central. Book NAV rose to S$1.57/unit thanks to a S$60m revaluation surplus.
FCOT leased/renewed 253,900 sqft of space (9.7% of portfolio) in FY17 with positive 1.9% rental reversion. 357 Collins St and Caroline Chisholm Centre benefited from a 3.9% and 3% p.a. contracted rental escalation, respectively.
However Singapore assets continued to experience negative rental reversion, in tandem with industry peers. Average committed occupancy stood at 85.9% at end-FY17 with a weighted average lease to expiry of 3.4 years.
FCOT has 33.8%/15.2% of income expiring in FY18F/FY19F. FY18F expiries include an estimated 347,000 sqft of space (c.12-13% of portfolio income) at Alexandra Technopark (ATP) currently leased by HPE/HP Singapore. HPE had signaled its intention to give up the space and the trust is currently in discussion with HP Singapore on plans for its space. This could be a drag on near-term occupancy levels at ATP.
FCOT is undertaking a S$45m AEI at ATP to create a more contemporary business campus with greater connectivity.
FCOT plans to conduct an S$38m AEI at China Square Central (CSC) to increase the asset's retail NLA by 11k sqft (+17%) and to reposition the retail podium to focus on F&B, wellness and services. FCOT expects this exercise to complete around mid-2019, in time for the opening of the new Capri by Fraser hotel there.
While FCOT shared no ROI targets, we believe a larger retail footprint would enable FCOT to expand retail offerings and attract more footfall into the property. We have factored in lower occupancy during the AEI period.
We leave our FY18-19F DPU relatively unchanged. Imputed into our DPU estimates are some capital distribution from divestment gains during the asset enhancement period.
Our DDM-based Target Price inches up to S$1.46 as we roll forward our assumptions (COE: 8.4%). We keep our Hold call on FCOT due to lack of near-term earnings catalyst.
Upside risks include inorganic/acquisition growth while downside risks include a longer-than-forecasted period to increase portfolio occupancy levels.

Davis & Elkins Celebrates Academic Chairs with Ceremony
Contact: Linda Howell Skidmore, D&E Communications & Marketing
304.642.1550 skidmorel@dewv.edu
Elkins – A standing-room-only crowd witnessed the installation of the A. Jean Minnick Chair in Sport Science and the dedication of the Claire Deiss Fiorentino Chair in Theatre Arts at Davis & Elkins College. The ceremony in Booth Library was part of the Secure the Future campaign celebration.
During the annual Founders' Day celebration in September 2017, D&E President Chris A. Wood announced Minnick's $1 million commitment to establish the A. Jean Minnick Chair in Sport Science. Chair of the Department of Sport Science and Professor of Health and Physical Education Dr. Mary Ann DeLuca, '80, who was named the inaugural holder, spoke at the dedication telling the group she had been associated with Minnick since her days as a D&E student. Eventually, Minnick hired DeLuca to direct intramurals, teach and assist in coaching.
"Dr. Minnick has taught me content knowledge about the subject matters, persistence, hard work, timing, patience and the larger picture of Davis & Elkins College and life," DeLuca said. "We have continued a wonderful respectful relationship."
Minnick, who now holds the title of professor emerita, served as professor of physical education and chair of the Department of Health, Sport, and Movement Sciences at D&E from 1963 to 1998, and coached field hockey for 17 years.
"In the department, Dr. Minnick was instrumental with a forward vision to include exercise science and sport management as a major along with athletic training and exercise science as a minor," DeLuca said, adding that the programs still exist today. "Dr. Minnick has shared her wisdom, a gift that she carried to D&E and into the department for its future."
Currently, more than 100 students major in programs offered in the department, and a new major – community and corporate health – will begin this fall.
As an educator, coach, mentor and encourager, Minnick – the professor students called "Doc" – always had high expectations, DeLuca explained.
"Dr. Minnick, you have taught each one of your students and players to work hard because nothing is going to be handed to you; to stand up for what you believe, and to have the back bone to do so," DeLuca said. "You have taught your students and players to continue with their education, because learning never stops. You have taught us to share our knowledge and wisdom to the next generation, because we want to build a better world.
"You have taught me, as the chair, in holding one of your former positions, the importance of supporting the Sport Science Department," DeLuca continued. "You have inspired within me the passion of your vision and I am trying to carry it forward. We thank you again for your generous gift and 'Securing the Future' for the Sport Science Department and Davis & Elkins College."
Davis & Elkins College Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Rob Phillips said the addition of the two academic chairs brings to total seven endowed chairs at the College.
Tony Fiorentino, who was unable to attend the dedication, established the chair to honor the memory of his mother and her work through the D&E Theatre Department. Speaking to the group in recognition of Tony Fiorentino's generosity, Phillips provided an overview of Claire Fiorentino's 30-year career at D&E.
"Professor Fiorentino was regarded with both esteem and affection by her colleagues and students," Phillips said. "She is remembered for her commitment to her students, to whom she was affectionately known as 'Mrs. F,' the College and her profession which she served faithfully. She is also remembered for her contributions to the greater Elkins community, as evidenced by the multiple events she staged for the Mountain State Forest Festival."
Claire Fiorentino came to Elkins in the 1930s and joined the D&E faculty as assistant professor of dramatics and public speaking in 1944. She later earned the position of chair of her department, a role she continued until she retired in 1974. Along the way, she received her A.B. degree from D&E. She passed away in 1988.
Related to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Davis & Elkins College is located in Elkins, 2 hours east of Charleston, 3 hours south of Pittsburgh and 4 hours west of Washington, D.C. For more information, please visit the College website at www.dewv.edu or call 304-637-1243.

Is it normal for the temp to go from high to low rather rapidly? It always comes down....but seems to go all the way hot at times. Just want to make sure that's normal. The fan will kick on when I'm stopped, and that brings the gauge down, too. Just getting used to a new bike and want to know what's normal.
Trying to find how much coolant this thing takes....don't know if a half gallon will do it or if I need more......tough to find a spec on this!
Found it. 2.75 us quarts, plus .42 quarts in the reserve tank. A gallon of Engine Ice is on order. Hope to tackle that this weekend.
At one time the 1kF was the fastest production bike before the CBR1100xx came out. I guess Honda wanted to shave weight and decided a smaller radiator was the trick.
If you have she open, replace the radiator cap and thermostat as well.

When I first got my CBR, it was still pretty cold outside, so I experienced no issues with over-heating. But the first time I rode it in hot weather, the Temp Gage shot up into the Red Zone. It freaked me out. I decided to examine the system, as well as drain and flush it. Good thing I did. I've never seen coolant look like that before. Very odd color, and strange viscosity. I drained it out completely, and removed the radiator to check it out thoroughly. I carefully blew out all the bugs and other crap lodged between the cooling fins. I cleaned it gently with soap, water and a soft bristle brush. Checked all the hoses. Reinstalled everything and flushed the system with water and vinegar. Put in fresh coolant (safe for aluminum) with Distilled Water. I took it for a long ride, and everything seemed fine...until I got stuck in some heavy traffic. It started over-heating again. I did hear the fan kick on, so I didn't think that was the problem. But I thought perhaps the fan switch was intermittent or defective. Some trouble-shooting indicated that the fan switch was acting oddly, so I ordered a new one. Put it in, took it for a ride, got stuck in traffic again, and it began over-heating again. I looked at everything again, and this time discovered that I had accidentally left off the fan ground wire which attaches to a mounting bolt near the top of the radiator. D'OH!!! Once I hooked that up, all was well. My gage rarely hits the halfway point. It's usually right around 3/8 of full travel. Only when it is extremely hot outside and sitting in stopped traffic does it ever get to the halfway mark.
So, flush coolant with water and vinegar, make sure radiator isn't blocked with crud, use distilled water with new coolant. As long as the rest of the system is working correctly, you should see much cooler temps.
EXACTLY what I did today! Drained it, flushed it with distilled water until it came out clear. Then filled it with distilled water, ran it for 10 minutes to heat it up. Then let it cool and drained it again. I left the drain bolt out and began filling it with Engine Ice, leaving the drain bolt out until the fluid coming out was pure blue (color of Engine Ice), then put the drain bolt back in and filled up the radiator. Siphoned the green coolant out of the reserve tank and filled that properly with Engine Ice. Started it up and guess what? It did EXACTLY what it's supposed to go. Warmed up gradually, fan kicked on after it was about half way warm, and the gauge never came close to being pegged. Then I went on about a 40 mile ride, in all kinds of conditions.....stop lights, highway, 30mph residential. The bike ran PERFECTLY and the cooling system worked exactly as it should. Thanks for the help here! I'm psyched. This bike is AWESOME. It's everything I'd hoped it would be...and exactly the type of bike that I wanted. Here's a photo of it in front of my parents house, which is about 20 miles from my house.
I see the warner tag on your post. That is my last name. Is that what yours is. I have an 88 with a 90 or 91 motor I put in it.
Welcome to the forum Mr. Warner.
I have flushed mine twice and it made no difference on the needle. I have been thinking the fan switch may be coming on to late.
I recently flushed mine, new radiator fluid, pressure washed carefully the radiator grill.
I have ordered a new radiator cap and thermostat.
While I wait for my used stator to come. About all I do till then is charge battery and ride for about 30 minutes.
I'm actually suspecting the heat ruined the stator in the first place. Because before the stator failed, the bike would get close to the red at stop signs in town.
After reading a few posts, I did the flush and new fluid.
Which only helped a little. I was still 3/4 over on the gauge. And normal was in the middle of the gauge after 1 hour of riding.
But now that I'm in limp mode until the stator comes. I hope to ensure the bike is running cooler.

Michigan's minimum wage rose to $9.45 per hour last week, the same day a new law requiring some employers to offer paid sick leave took effect. The Legislature passed both laws late last year during lame-duck session, though questions about whether lawmakers followed the Michigan constitution in doing so have swirled ever since.
The Michigan Supreme Court on Wednesday said it will consider the Legislature's request for an advisory opinion on whether new laws to raise the state's minimum wage and require paid sick leave are legal.
The court did not commit to issuing an opinion, leaving open the question for now.
During the lame-duck session in December, the Legislature approved watered-down versions of the two worker-friendly proposals that voters were going to consider in November. By first adopting those proposals in September, lawmakers took them off the ballot before approving more business-friendly versions late last year.
The state's high court said it will hear oral arguments on July 17. Whether the court weighs in will be decided after arguments are heard and legal briefs are submitted in the case, the court said Wednesday.
Michigan's minimum wage rose to $9.45 per hour last week, the same day a new law requiring some employers to offer paid sick leave took effect. The Legislature passed both laws late last year during the lame-duck session, though questions about whether lawmakers followed the Michigan constitution in doing so have swirled since.
At issue is whether the Legislature is allowed to adopt and later change citizen initiatives in the same two-year legislative term.
Two ballot committees, Michigan One Fair Wage and MI Time to Care, last summer earned enough signatures from registered Michigan voters to get their proposals to raise the state's minimum wage to $12 an hour by 2022 and require employers to offer 72 hours of paid sick leave, respectively, onto the November 2018 ballot.
Michigan's constitution, however, allows the Legislature to adopt citizen-initiated laws before they go to voters. The Republican majority in the House and Senate, which opposed the ballot language, voted along mostly party lines to adopt the proposals in September with the goal of revising them later last year.
In a contentious lame-duck vote, they weakened the strongest provisions. Then-Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, who signed the bills, said he believed the laws as the ballot committees wrote them would have been a roadblock to Michigan's ongoing economic recovery.
Under the Legislature's revisions, Michigan's minimum wage won't reach $12 (now $12.05) until 2030, eight years later than originally scheduled. And employers will be required to offer 40 hours of sick leave, instead of 72, though businesses with fewer than 50 employees will be exempt from the sick leave law.
The Legislature also kept a lower minimum wage for employees who receive tips as part of their job, such as restaurant servers. One Fair Wage's proposal would have gradually increased the lower, tipped wage until all minimum-wage workers earned the same hourly rate.
Republican legislators have said they are confident their lame-duck changes are on solid legal ground, and in February asked the Michigan Supreme Court to issue an advisory opinion to resolve any remaining questions. Business groups, who support the Legislature's changes, say the laws as originally written would have been onerous.
Backers of the ballot initiatives and Democratic lawmakers, meanwhile, say the Legislature's revisions went against the will of hundreds of thousands of Michigan voters who wanted the chance to vote on the stronger minimum wage and sick leave proposals as written.
The two ballot committee said in statements Wednesday that they don't believe the state constitution gives the Legislature the authority to change citizen-written laws during the same term and hope the Supreme Court agrees.
"We are hopeful the Michigan Supreme Court will stand with Michigan workers and the more than 400,000 Michigan voters who signed the One Fair Wage petition and approved raising the minimum wage to $12 for all Michigan workers," Alicia Renee Farris, state director of the Restaurant Opportunities Center of Michigan and chair of the Michigan One Fair Wage steering committee, said in a statement.
Representatives for Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, and House Speaker Lee Chatfield, R-Levering, could not immediately be reached for comment.
A rarely used provision of the Michigan constitution allows the legislature and governor to ask the state's high court for an opinion on whether a law that has been enacted is constitutional, before it takes effect.
The Supreme Court can choose not to issue such an opinion. More requests for Supreme Court advisory opinions were rejected than granted in at least the last decade, according to the court.
The last time the court granted such a request was in 2011, in response to Snyder's question about the constitutionality of a new tax on some retirement income.
Past Supreme Court opinions have noted that advisory opinions don't set precedent the same way as an opinion issued through the traditional litigation process. Since this request didn't start from a lawsuit, it's still possible the minimum wage and paid sick leave laws could wind up challenged in court, particularly if the Supreme Court decides not to grant the advisory opinion request.
Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat, also has been asked for an opinion on the ability of the Legislature to change citizen-backed laws during the same legislative term in which they're adopted. Nessel's office said last week she will wait for the Supreme Court to decide on its opinion request before making her own decision.
The committee behind the paid sick leave drive, MI Time to Care, has said it may try again for the November 2020 ballot.
Bad blood still remains after the GOP-controlled Legislature adopted citizen initiatives only to gut them later. Now, they want the Supreme Court to rule on whether lawmakers have that power.
....and you wonder why people feel they have no voice in government. Catching and modifying the results of a ballot initiative, exactly like the lame ducks did here, goes against the stated will of the people. 'Business friendly' actions like that just show how many of our state senators and reps are bought and paid for. It is Not Okay.
Trying to understand this, exactly why should it be up to the voters what employees are allowed to accept as pay from their employers? Maybe we should vote on what cable TV companies are allowed to charge? Or the price of milk?


Today (11 January 2017), the Union of Students in Ireland (USI) has launched a National Student Housing Survey, inviting responses from students across the Republic of Ireland. The survey seeks to assess the housing situation of students across the country and preferences of students regarding their accommodation.
The housing crisis in Ireland has had a negative impact on studying trends, academic performance and mental health of students. The escalating cost of rent across Ireland, due to shortages of supply and an increase in demand, is forcing some students to commit to leases they can't afford, sleep on friends' couches, live in poor quality accommodation or endure long commutes. The lack of purpose-built on-campus accommodation, private sector rent increases and the shortage of rental properties continues to fuel a dropout culture in third level education.
'We want to assess the actual situation of students across the country. Housing cannot be treated only as a market, but is central to the experience of the student, and whether or not they thrive at college. Investment in student accommodation is investment in reduced rates of wasteful non-completion and increased rates of study success.' added Hoey.
The National Student Housing Survey focuses on five areas: demographics, accommodation status and conditions, satisfaction with current accommodation and past experiences of all students living and studying in Ireland. It is divided into 6 modules: current study situation, current housing situation, finding a place, satisfaction with your accommodation, accommodation conditions, past experiences. The survey will be open for three weeks and is available here. By submitting responses, students may enter the draw to win an iPad mini or one of five €50 One4All Multi-Store Gift Cards.
USI aims to gather evidence of the current student accommodation, to feed into a report on current student housing situation, which will serve as evidence for the Student Accommodation Strategy, one of the actions of "Rebuilding Ireland, Action Plan For Housing and Homelessness" published by the Department for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government in July 2016. USI encourages all students to fill out the survey to ensure that the sample reflects the diversity of student population. Students can be in with the chance to win an iPad Mini or one of five all for one vouchers once the survey is complete.
The National Student Housing Survey is designed and launched by The Union of Students in Ireland (USI). USI is the national representative body for third-level students' unions in Ireland. USI is the sole national representative body for students in Ireland. Founded in 1959, USI now represents more than 354,000 students in over forty colleges across the island of Ireland. The goal of the USI is to work for rights of students and a fair and equal third level education system in Ireland. USI has campaigned on the issue of student accommodation since the 1970s and works with the RTB, Threshold and other organisations on the issue.
Please visit usi.ie or homes.usi.ie to find out about other activities of USI with regard to housing.

Chartreuse is a French liqueur made by the Carthusian Monks since 1737 according to the instructions set out in a secret manuscript, a gift to them from Maréchal Francois Hannibal d'Estrées in 1605. An already ancient manuscript from an 'Elixir of Long Life', the manuscript was probably the work of a 16th century alchemist with a great knowledge of herbs and with the skill to blend, infuse, macerate the 130 of them to form a perfect balanced tonic. The manuscript's recipe was so complex that only bits and pieces of it were understood and used at the monastery in Vauvert.
To this day all Chartreuse liqueurs are made only by monks and are based on that ancient manuscript given in 1605. The sales of the liqueurs allow the Chartreuse Monks the funds necessary to survive in this commercial world and give to them the ability to dedicate their lives to prayer and meditation.
Chartreuse gives its name to the colour chartreuse. It is one of the handful of liquors that continues to age and improve in the bottle.

Q: How to pass a 'main-parameter' to a member-function I'm writing a tiny Console Messanger with the Winsock library, but how do i pass the 'char* argv[]' parameter from main to a memberfunction?
I have defined and declared a class where all the things for setting up the client are done(starting socket, initialising...). This Class is written in another document, but i need to make a member-function be able to access the char* argv[] parameter when the function is called in main()
int CWinsock::Connect(/*pass argv here*/) {
  printf("Connect to port\nPort: ");
  std::cin >> m_port;//get port
  memset(&m_addr, 0, sizeof(SOCKADDR_IN));
  m_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
  m_addr.sin_port = htons(m_port);//Connect to port

  m_rc = getAddrFromString(argv[1], &m_addr);//Get the IP adress

the argv parameter is used right above
if (m_rc == SOCKET_ERROR) {
    printf("IP not found!\n");
    return 1;
}else
    printf("IP found!\n");
...
}//Connect

A: You probably just need
int CWinsock::Connect(const char* adress)
{
    //..
    m_rc = getAddrFromString(adress, &m_addr);//Get the IP adress
    //..
}

and in main:
int main(int argc, char**argc)
{
    // ..
    CWinsock winsock{/*..*/};
    // ..
    int res = winsock.Connect(argv[1]);
    // ..
}

A: Seems straightforward
int CWinsock::Connect(char** argv) {

or (same thing)
int CWinsock::Connect(char* argv[]) {

Am I missing something?

Finding a Life-Work Balance As a FranServe Franchise Consultant
With the celebration of Mother's Day in May, FranServe, Inc. would like to recognize four women who balance their franchise-consulting business with the busy life of being a mother. By Cindy Charette
With the celebration of Mother's Day in May, FranServe, Inc. would like to recognize four women who balance their franchise-consulting business with the busy life of being a mother.
Brandi Johnson, certified franchise consultant (CFC) since 2014, was formerly a geriatric health-care executive working long hours. After finally getting time off for a Disney vacation, Johnson's defining moment came when her daughter innocently said: "It's so nice that you're here with us and not on the phone all of the time, Mommy." Having already been searching for a business that would provide a better balance, Johnson decided on the spot to join FranServe, and Nova Franchise Services was formed.
Now Johnson has time to enjoy with her five children and five grandchildren. She said: "I have found the work-life balance along with the financial freedom to enjoy life and my family while actually being able to help others." Additionally, Johnson's daughter, Amanda Blair, became a FranServe CFC in 2020.
Ari O'Brien
Ari O'Brien worked in corporate sales for 15 years before realizing there was more to life than letting someone else decide her fate. Nine years ago, her husband, Jason O'Brien, started Red Rock Franchise Ventures, and she moved from providing part-time help to jumping in full time three years ago.
A mother to three stepsons and one daughter together with Jason, Ari O'Brien said: "I have the flexibility to take my daughter to school and pick her up every day. I can attend school functions, and I can set my schedule to what works best for me and my family." Additionally, the O'Briens were able to invest in two additional franchises, building upon their family empire to pass along to their children.
Jessica Melendez
Jessica Melendez, a CFC for six years with her company West Star Franchise Group, is also a trainer and mentor for FranServe. She and her husband, Rigo Melendez, are both longtime entrepreneurs and investors.
Melendez, also a busy volunteer and mom to two daughters active in extracurricular activities, said: "FranServe is perfect because I make my own schedule and can block off my calendar when I need to. I don't know of anything else that allows me to work my own hours on my terms and allows me to bring in a lucrative income."
Jill Johnson's prior background was in marketing/advertising before joining FranServe and starting The Franchise Insiders with her husband five years ago. They run their business as a partnership and a family, which includes their son.
The Johnsons work around the clock for their clients and integrate their lives as business owners and parents simultaneously. Family dinners involve discussing their son's school day, along with client updates. Additionally, each time they help a client achieve their dream of franchise ownership, they celebrate together as a family. Jill said: "The beauty of franchise consulting with FranServe is that you can incorporate it into any lifestyle. With the support and backend system of FranServe, you can work your schedule around your mom duties. It is 100% possible to be successful at what you do and enjoy being a mom at the same time."
"We are thrilled to help women everywhere find a rewarding, lucrative and flexible career as a FranServe Affiliate Consultant," said Alesia Visconti, CEO and President of FranServe, Inc. "And we are honored that we have the largest number of female franchise consultants!"
