The following terms and definitions apply to auctions.
1.1. "Absentee or commission bid" refers to a procedure that allows a bidder to participate in the bidding process without being physically present.

The particular rules and procedures of absentee bids are unique to each auction company.
1.2. "Absentee or commission bidder" means a person (or entity) that is not present at the auction but submits, in advance, a written, oral or telephone bid that is the maximum price they will pay for a given asset.

1.10. "Auction house" means an established place of business including an auction mart, a sale barn, and a sale pavilion and its contiguous surroundings where at least two (2) or more auctions are held within any twelve (12) month period and where representations are regularly made that goods are sold at auction.

1.11. "Auction mandate" means a contract executed by the auctioneer and the seller which authorizes the auctioneer to conduct the auction and sets out the terms and conditions of the agreement and the rights and responsibilities of each party.
(e) conducting auctions either using physical exchange or online electronic transmission via the Internet, or by any other means where there is a solicitation of offers and competitive bidding by the public.

(f) sponsor, mentor and coach apprentice auctioneers.
A distinguishing feature of a professional auctioneer is that; unlike a dealer, a professional auctioneer does not trade for his own account; meaning that an auctioneer does not buy and sell goods, but auctions goods as an agent on behalf of another person, including sellers of goods, or as an employee or agent of an auction company or an auction house.
1.15. "Bid" means a prospective buyer's indication or offer of a price they are willing to pay to purchase goods/assets at auction. Bids are usually in standardized increments established by the auctioneer.

After the highest bidder's selection, the goods/assets are taken out of the vendor roll, and the second round of bidding commences, with the highest bidder in round two choosing units/items, and so on, until all the goods/assets from a grouping of similar or like-kind goods/assets are sold.
1.23. "Buyer's premium" means in simple language, a buyer's premium is an additional charge that is levied by the auctioneer on the buyer over and above the bid price. Therefore, in the event of a buyer's premium, the buyer will pay an additional amount over and above the purchase price. For example if the rate of the buyer's premium is 10%, a buyer who purchases land worth R1,000,000-00 at the fall of the hammer will pay the auctioneer R1,100,000-00, i.e., R1,000,000-00 for the land plus R100,000-00 buyer's premium at 10% of the value of the land.

(b) a person who has entered into a transaction with an auctioneer in an ordinary course of business of auctions.

1.42. "Live webcast auction" means an auction process similar to online auction, except that bidders can participate remotely from any location around the world on the Internet via live link to a 'live on-location' auction site. Both online and live webcast auctions have the advantage and convenience of saving the buyer the cost of travel and loss of productivity.
1.43. "Livestock" includes cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, mules and donkeys.
1.44. "Lot" means any item or group of goods sold or offered for sale as a unit and identified as such.

1.46. "Master" means the officer of the High Court defined in terms of the Administration of Estates Act.
1.48. "Motor vehicle" means a motor vehicle as defined in terms of the National Road Traffic Act.
1.49. "Multiple property auction" means an auction process which allows portfolios of properties belonging to one or more sellers to be marketed and sold to buyers at a single event, essentially providing a mechanism to sell properties in bulk. Multiple auctions can be conducted at hotels or conference venues, and are facilitated by large screens where buyers can experience virtual tours and view pictures and videos of the properties for which they intend to bid. Among others, multiple property auctions have the advantage that they facilitate a high profile event at a reasonable marketing cost and they realize higher prices by attracting a wide buyer network thereby encouraging competition between buyers.
1.50. "Multi-Par auctions" means an auction method that uses a sophisticated computer program to sell undeveloped land and apartments per square meter. The computer program is designed to protect individual buyers from big developers as it allows them to place their highest bid on a single plot or single unit.

"Online auction" means a competitive marketing and disposal of goods/assets conducted on an Internet based platform for a pre-determined period of time with each lot sequentially closing at a given time. Prospective buyers bid online from the comfort of their offices or homes. Online auctions enable buyers to bid against each other with the system acting as an invisible auctioneer and regulating bid increments and the entire bidding process. Bid prices are updated in real time as bidding progresses and the highest bidder wins at the close of the bidding.
1.54. "Open house", viewing" or "inspection" means specified date and time an immovable property is available for prospective buyers viewing and audits.
1.55. "Opening bidder" means the first bid offered by a bidder at an auction.
1.56. "Owner" or "rightful holder" means the person who holds the legal title to goods or property, that person's successors and assigns and an agent of that person.
1.57. "Person" means any natural person, and "juristic person" means an entity; whether or not it has a separate legal personality, which is not a natural person and includes a body corporate, company, close corporation, trust, partnership or an association.
1.58. "Reserve" or reserve price" means the minimum price that a seller is willing to accept for goods/assets to be sold at auction.
1.59. "Rules of auction", "conditions of sale" or "terms & conditions" means the legal terms that govern the conduct of an auction, including acceptable methods of payment, terms, buyer's premiums, possession, reserves and any other limiting factors of an auction. The CPA prescribes that the rules of auction must be published twenty four (24) hours before the auction (in the event of movable auctions) and at least five (5) days before the auction (in the event of immovable auctions) and also announced by the auctioneer prior to the start of the auction.
1.60. "Seller" means the person who signs the mandate for an auctioneer to sell goods on auction, including the owner or rightful holder.
1.61. "Seller's commission" means that the seller pays the auctioneer from the proceeds of the auction. In the event of a seller's commission, the buyer only pays for the amount of his bid price plus transfer costs and other associated costs such as vat or transfer duty, whichever is applicable. For example if a property is auctioned for R1,000,000-00 and the rate of the seller's commission is 10%, the auctioneer will be paid R100,000 from the proceeds, thus leaving the seller with net proceeds of R900,000.
1.62. "Seller's settlement" means a report issued to the seller by the auctioneer or auction company detailing the financial aspects of the auction.
1.64. "Tie bids" means when two or more bidders bid exactly the same amount at the same time. The auctioneer has the duty to resolve by the auctioneer.
1.65. "URL" means an operational uniform resource locator, providing access to information on the internet.
1.66. "Valuation" means a written or oral statement, independently objectively and impartially prepared by a qualified valuer, prepared in accordance with generally accepted valuation standards, setting forth an opinion of defined value of an adequately described asset, as of a specific date, supported by the presentation and analysis of relevant market information.
1.67. "Vendor bidding" means an auction where the owner or auctioneer, or any one person on behalf of the owner or auctioneer, as the case may be, bids at the auction with the intention of protecting the owner's reserve price.
1.68. "Vendor's roll" means the document contemplated in regulation 28 (4), in which all details of the auction are recorded.
1.69. "Voetstoets" means selling or purchasing goods/assets at one's own risk, without guarantees or warranties as to the condition and/or the fitness of the goods/assets for a particular use, otherwise known as "As Is, Where Is" and "In its Present Condition". Buyers are solely responsible for examining and judging the goods/assets for their own protection.
1.70. "Withdrawal" means taking an item or asset out of an auction because of failure to reach the reserve price or due to insufficient bidding.
It seems that the successful bidder has no certainty that his"offer to purchase" may be accepted because of the 14 day Confirmation Period. I always thought that once the hammer has fallen AND the reserve price, if any, had been reached, the sale was thereby concluded. Does this not deter people from coming to an auction?


I know, right?? 2 video posts in 1 day? Am I CRAZY??
No, I just watched this video and it cracked me up. Louis CK is freakin' hilarious, and I wanted to share. OK back to work now!
Who has been slacking on posts?

Questions to ask employers who mandate COVID vaccine
How do you explain the spike in deaths in almost-fully-vaccinated Israel?
By WND Staff
Published September 14, 2021 at 7:16pm

As many private and government employees who choose not to take a COVID-19 vaccine face the possible loss of their jobs, a physicians' alliance is providing some guidance.
Employers, particularly those that offer an opportunity for a conversation about the volatile issue, could be posed a number of questions, says Dr. Jane Orient, the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.
For one, an employer could be asked to delay the requirement, pending availability of the only FDA-approved product, labeled Comirnaty. Orient explains that the vaccine approved by the FDA is different than the Pfizer vaccine issued under emergency use authorization. Or better yet, she says, wait until the completion of clinical trials on myocarditis in 2027.
In addition, Orient says, employers should consider the data from Israel showing twice as many COVID deaths in 2021 compared to 2020, before the vaccines were available. Israel has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world.
Then, AAPS has a list of a half-dozen questions for an employer's health expert.
Here are the questions:
How do you explain the 100% increase in cases and deaths in almost-fully-vaccinated Israel?
If there is to be a testing requirement, will it apply to all? President Biden said, "We need to protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated." How will we know whether they have been protected without testing them?
There have been reports by unvaccinated persons, especially of menstrual irregularities, after contact with vaccinated persons. Will the company collect reports, offer testing as for coagulation abnormalities or institute any precautions?
Can the company expert provide references to male and female fertility studies in several species of animals?
What about pathologic examination of the placenta in women who had a miscarriage post vaccination (1,757 reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, VAERS, as of Sept. 9)?
Will the company allow alternate methods of COVID prophylaxis such as iodinated mouthwash and nasal spray, iota-carrageenan, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine or other measures?
Will you get a COVID vaccine to save your job?
In addition, AAPS has compiled studies on effective treatments for COVID-19, which can be found here.
AAPS also offers a compendium of suggested treatment protocols and resources.
And it has an AAPS Guide to Home-Based COVID Treatment that can be downloaded.

This amazing city has become a special destination for those seeking something more than just quiet days at the beach.
When we think of summer in the Mediterranean, idyllic beaches on the coast of France, Spain and Italy come to mind. From May to September, the European coast region receives tourists from all over the world eager to experience the routine that combines beach with good food and parties that go until the morning.
In recent years, Tel Aviv, the city that sits in Asia rather than Europe and which is also bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, has become a special destination for those seeking something more than quiet days at the beach. The city is known as the most liberal of the Middle East and it does not resemble Jerusalem, where religion is more dominant. In Tel Aviv, the sport and summer lifestyle dominates the wide promenades and boulevards with an international population where practically everyone speaks English. Tel Aviv has an average of 318 sunny days a year and 1 in 3 inhabitants is between 18 and 35 years of age. Now that's a place to visit!


One of the most favorite Mexican cheeses, Queso Fresco is a fresh cheese of various sizes and shapes made from 100% cow's milk. The cheese has a grainy feel and very mild, fresh acidity. Queso Fresco is used for grilling and baking and it can also be used in salads. It softens but does not melt when heated.

What are the Universal Apostolic Preferences
In 2019, the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) determined four overarching areas that will guide all of their works—retreats, schools, social ministries, parishes, etc.—through the year 2029. These Universal Apostolic Preferences or UAPs, which were developed by Jesuits and worldwide mission partners and approved by Pope Francis, will guide discernment in all Jesuit communities and institutions as they determine where they will focus their energies and resources, how they will make decisions and whom they will serve.
The UAPs, visualized and linked below, encourage all in the Ignatian Family to bring others to a better relationship with God through Ignatian Spirituality, to accompany all those who are poor or excluded in society, to foster hope among our young people and to work toward solutions for protecting our world as stewards of God's creation. Visit the Jesuit Curia global website for a more in-depth description of the UAPs.
Showing the Way to God
Show the way to God through the Spiritual Exercises and discernment.
Walking with the Excluded
Walk with the poor, the outcasts of the world, those whose dignity has been violated, in a mission of reconciliation and justice.
Journeying with Youth
Accompany young people in the creation of a hope-filled future.
Caring for our Common Home
Collaborate, with Gospel depth, for the protection and renewal of God's Creation.
The UAPs at Regis Jesuit
As an Ignatian educational institution, Regis Jesuit High School reflects on the Universal Apostolic Preferences in our own vision for the future. What will that look like as we attend to the desires articulated in the UAPs?
We will imagine more deeply what the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius can do to transform our students and the very teachers and parents who form them through our Office of Ignatian Spirituality and Pastoral Ministries Office.
We will seek out new approaches through our Offices of Ignatian Immersion & Solidarity and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion as well as in our wider curriculum for walking alongside those who are excluded, poor or lonely beyond simply doing service for others.
We will draw greater emphasis for our students to the paths of hope in God's Kingdom over and above the cynicism and indifference they encounter in our culture today.
We will find ways of collaborating within our school family, in the broader community and among the multiple modes of faith, STEM, the humanities, co-curriculars and other disciplines to care more deeply for our shared world.

BILL CLINTON MAY BE JOINING BARACKAPALOOZA
Well, the Democratic Party may actually be beginning to find itself on the same page. In an announcement today, Bill Clinton's people communicated to Obama's people that he might be willing to help where he can to get Obama elected. Obama and Hillary Clinton are to appear thi weekend in New Hampshire for the beginning of a series of appearances which will be akin to the Barack and Hillary roadshow. Actually this may be a glimpse into the future if Obama is smart enough to choose Hillary Rodham Clinton as his running mate. But then again, I don't think smart is how would term anything about all of the campaigns so far. Though the Democrats seem to have the upper hand, it's stil a long way to November. It is not certain when the former president will join the tour, but hopefully he will bring his saxaphone a long for some light entertainment. It could become a YouTube hit. Obama spokesman Bill Burton said the 42nd president came up in a phone call between Obama and Hillary Clinton on Sunday. They talked about how Obama should connect with Bill Clinton in the future, Burton said. Bill Clinton extended his support to Obama for the first time Tuesday in a one-sentence statement from spokesman Matt McKenna. "President Clinton is obviously committed to doing whatever he can and is asked to do to ensure Senator Obama is the next president of the United States," McKenna said.It's not clear what Obama might ask him to do. The campaign wasn't specific when asked. "A unified Democratic Party is going to be a powerful force for change this year and we're confident President Clinton will play a big role in that," was all Burton would say. Of course not everything is all rosie and happy. Obama's wife has some pretty strong feelings about the former president. Michelle said of the former president in an interview with The New Yorker magazine, "I want to rip his eyes out!" before adding, "Kidding!" That's rather strong for a joke. As you can see this team-up for Barackapalooza should be about as entertaining as putting Courtney Love and Amy Winehouse in the same room and telling them there's no booze. It just doesn't work. The in-fighting between these four will be hard to forget and I really don't believe that it's water under the bridge. In public all smiles, backstage Fleetwood Mac. We'll see how long this lasts.
KIDS PROTEST GAS PRICES, SET EXAMPLE FOR ADULTS
Everybody is complaining, but nobody is doing anything about it. Gas Prices are too high. So are you just going to take it lying down? Sadie and Pyper Vance from Salt Lake City, Utah have had just about enough of high gas prices. The sisters are still years away from being old enough to drive, but that doesn't mean the $4 per gallon price tag isn't hitting them as hard as anyone else. Cable TV was one of the family's budget-cutting casualties, leaving Sadie, 9, and her 7-year-old sister without their favorite cartoons and shows. Ouch, no cable. Well they didn't take it lying down like everyone else has. No, they decided to protest. "Gas prices are too high," Sadie said. "I just decided to come and protest so they'd go down." That's the American way. The girls marched through downtown Monday chanting and carrying signs made from old campaign signs. "All of my mom's monny goes to the gas tank!" Pyper's sign read. Sadie carried a sign asking drivers to honk to lower gas prices — adding that her mom had to cut "cabel." They received some shows of support, but no one actually joined in which I think is a no brainer. "I think it's great," said Hamid Tayeb, who was walking past on his lunch break. "It's unfortunate that kids are doing it before we do." Yea, I do too. Where's your sign? Where's your protest? We could all learn a thing or two from these kids.
HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN MUNICH
I am officially in mourning. I will be wearing black for the next week. A terrible tragedy occurred in Munich, Germany, a load of beer crashed on the highway creating a small beer lake. I've lowered my flag to half-mast. I mean we're talking 200 crates! German beer, this isn't Bud Light here. Munich police say the truck was transporting the beer from the Bavarian capital to a neighboring town Monday evening when siding on the truck's trailers broke. I think the driver should be prosecuted for alcohol abuse. He didn't take proper precautions to protect this precious shipment. The brewery suffered losses of some 10,000 Euro in the beer tragedy. Bottles crashed onto the highway flooding it with foamy wheat beer and disrupting traffic for 90 minutes. My hands are shaking, I can't write about it any more. There may even be tears.
GOD BUSTED SELLING DRUGS NEAR CHURCH
It's a sad day, God has been busted selling cocaine near a church in Tampa, Florida. It appears he may be spending quite a stint in jail. God Lucky Howard was taken into custody Saturday after police said he sold cocaine to undercover detectives within 1,000 feet of a church. God's luck ran out. He'll be the one praying now. Police also reported finding another 22 grams of cocaine and a scale at his home. Praying hard. Howard was charged with several counts of possession and distribution within 1,000 feet of a school, public housing and the church. God Not-so- Lucky Howard is being held on a bond of $86,500. Get your friends to pass the collection plate. In case you were wondering, a picture of God is below.
SHAQUILLE O'NEAL TEARS KOBE BRYANT UP IN A NIGHTCLUB RAP
I don't know which one is worse Shaq or Kobe. Their arrogance is incredible. This video shot over the weekend has Shaq rapping and asking Kobe how his ass tastes. Great. This is just what we need from our star athletes. It appears from the video that Kobe gave Shaq a hard time in LA and was intrumental in his leaving. Like we didn't know that. Well Shaq has taken glee in Kobe and the Lakers' self destruction and lets the world know in the rap below. "I was freestyling. That's all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever," O'Neal told ESPN.com Monday. A call to the Suns on Tuesday seeking comment from O'Neal was referred to his public relations firm, which didn't immediately respond.

BAD POETRY OUT SELLS HARRY POTTER
At an auction in Edinburough, Scotland 35 original poems of noted bad poet William Topaz McGonagall has out sold Harry Potter at an auction. A collector paid $12,840 for the self published 1890's work. This proves that if you do something badly, it can still be profitable. Unfortuantely you'll have to be dead for it to come to pass. The price paid beat out a collection of incribed Harry Potter books which were sold at the same auction for $12,000. McGonagall's lack of talent was matched only by his delusion and ego. Along with the 35 poems were a portfolio of posters and two copies of his rather short autobiography – "dedicated to himself, knowing none greater." McGonagall was so bad that he kept an umbrella with him during recitals to shield him from all the rotten tomatoes that were thrown at him. Ah, poetry lovers. The buyer has remained anonymous because he doesn't want the ridicule of being identified as a fan. Personally, I'd be proud to show that I have a collection of the worst poetry known to mankind, but then, I like the Rocky Horror Picture show.
MAN TRIES TO SELL WIFE ON EBAY
Want to pick up a used…wife? High milage. Paul Osborn, a UK man, has tried to get rid of his wife by posting her for auction on Ebay! It's official, you really can find anything on Ebay. Osborn found out his wife, Sharon was cheating on him with a co-worker. It was Osborn's way of letting the world know she was an adulterous, lying, cheating, well, you get the idea. In the listing he suggest that people not bid on her as she's apparently not worth diddly in his opinion. I can't say as I blame him. He also has given out the name of her lover, Richard Drew who is also married along with his address, and phone number. Ebay was rather prompt in taking the auction down, probably because they weren't going to make anything on the auction. Minimum bid, a pence. If he would have been able to complete the auction, it might have saved him some divorce costs. I wish I'd have thought of this for my Ex.
CHARLES BARKLEY GAMBLING DEBT
Wow, former NBA star Charles Barkley owes a casino in Vegas $400,000! Now I'm sure athletes are overpaid. People jump out of windows for things like that. The casino has made repeated calls to Barkley trying to get the debt paid, but he didn't respond. It took a call from the local prosecutor to get him to own up. He now says he'll pay the debt since he's "not broke." Did he think they were just going to forget about it? People have ended up in umarked graves for less. Over the years Barkley estimates he's gambled away over $10 million. "Do I have a gambling problem? Yeah, I do have a gambling problem," Barkley said. "But i don't consider it a problem because I can afford to gamble." Well, not paying your debts makes it look like you can't afford it. Just remember if a couple of guys named Guido start hanging around, you HAVE a problem.
DOES YOUR VODKA BOTTLE TALK?
Do you drink alone? Do you prefer to be by yourself? Well, the Russians have come up with a cure for that. it's the vodka bottle that talks back. The BBC is reporting that Russians are about to begin marketing a brand of vodka with a bottle that talks. I've always felt that if my bottle is talking, it's time to go home. Welcome to the alcoholically induced world of microprocessors. You've got to love those crazy Russians. Yes, now you can have a drinking buddy in a bottle. Apparently when ever you open the top, it's the top that talks, it will offer a variety of Russian toasts and encourage you to drink up. Personally I've never needed much encouragement. Now here's the fun part. The more the top is opened the more the bottle's speech becomes slurred. Yes your bottle gets drunk with you. The perfect date. When the bottle's empty, you've outdrank your buddy. Hopefully he's not the one driving home.

I've read numerous times that when sauteing, the pan used usually has curved sides to allow one to toss the food. However, whenever I look at pans on shopping websites and such, the pan labeled "saute pan" has straight vertical sides and a lid. The lid is even more confusing when one thinks about it, since a lid would cause steaming--the exact opposite of the goal of sauteing. So what's up with this confusing naming?
North American cookware companies seem to use the terms "saute" and "sauteuse" interchangeably, but technically, the saute pan is the straight-sided one, and the sauteuse or "fry pan" is the slope-sided one.
In French cooking equipment terms, the straight-sided one is called a "sautoir", and the sauteuse has higher sides and while angled out, they are not curved. The curved, shorter sided one is called a poele (and probably what most North Americans would identify as a "frying pan"). So the issue is really that there are a lot of different names floating around for just 3 types of pans.
When you saute, you want to maximize cooking surface area, so that things don't steam. Sloped sides will reduce the cooking surface, so that's why a saute pan will have straight sides. Regarding the lid, it would be used in the case that you want to cover the pan after a sear, to braise or steam. It also makes your pan more versatile.
Regardless of the etymology of "saute", according to La Cuisine de Reference, the definition of saute is to cook quickly in a small amount of oil, and any of the aforementioned pans can be used for this cooking technique.
"Sauter - Cuire rapidement des petites pièces de viande, de poisson ou de légumes dans un sautoir, une sauteuse ou une poêle, avec un peu de matière grasse."
The straight sides are helpful when you are deglazing the pan for a sauce. Otherwise, the sauce might stick to the sloping sides of the pan, vaporize and burn as it reduces. For me, sautéing is basically browning the meat, but catching the juices to make a saucy meal. The lid is used if the pan is too big for the amount of meat you use, if you don't use the lid, the juices will vaporize and there will be no sauce.

Our Australian made 100% pure essential oils are organic and premium quality. They are made with no chemical or synthetic properties, so you can be sure your family is harnessing the health benefits all throughout the year.
Essential oils can support well-being and good health for your whole family by breathing through the mouth and nose or absorbing through the skin. Health benefits can include improvements in allergy, sinus, congestion, asthma, eczema, snoring, dry skin, sleep patterns and much more.
However, essential oils are highly concentrated and cannot be applied directly to the skin.
Dilute the essential oils in a 10ml amber glass roller bottle.
Fill the 10ml bottle with fractionated, organic coconut oil, and 2-20 drops of your favourite essential oil, and rub on the soles of the feet, chest or wrist, for healthy oil absorption.
Please see dilution guide based on age below.
We recommend writing the dilution percentage and ingredients on the label of each bottle.
An essential oil is a substance that is extracted from the flowers, leaves, stems, roots, bark or seeds of a plant. Essential oils have been used for wellness and health for 100s of years. It is the concentrated essence of the original medicinal plant, containing the molecular constructs of its therapeutic properties.
Pure Oil Blends are professionally crafted with high quality oils and offer a safe, natural way to support the body through many issues of imbalance and ill-health. They can also be created to enhance natural balance and compliment many areas of daily life. The end result is a concentrate combination of essential oils that smell divine and work wonders.
Why do I need to dilute the Essential Oil with fractionated coconut oil? Why can't I put the oil directly onto the skin?
What is the difference between Essential Oil Essence/Fragrant Oil available for $2 from discount stores and your Organic 100% Essential Oil ?
"Fragrant Oil Essence" is available in discount stores for a few dollars - it is predominantly a chemical blend of synthetic essence, which smells like the plant, but is mixed with a lot of carrier oil.
Whilst the smell of these oils might last longer, there is little health benefit in diffusing/breathing this chemical mixture.
Our 100% Pure Organic Essential Oil is a high quality, natural substance with no carrier oil or synthetic properties. As such, there can be many health benefits by diffusing/breathing this oil.
Essential oils are a natural, yet powerful substance.
They are not recommended for use with babies under 3 months: this is a general guideline and not meant to alarm parents. Our manufacturer recognises that a newborn's skin and respiratory/lymphatic systems are new, and as such sensitivities and allergies may not have been identified. Read more on our blog.
Essential oils should never be ingested. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting and contact the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. Keep essential oils out of the reach of children. Store below 30 degrees and out of direct sunlight. Discontinue use if sensitivity occurs.

Bill Clinton Endorses Scott Brown? by American Elephant
Filed under: Democrat Corruption, News, Politics | Tags: Bill Clinton, Martha Coakley, Scott Brown
No one seems to have told Bill Clinton, the UN Special Envoy to Haiti, of the horrifying earth quake that has devastated that nation, because instead of helping Haitians, Bill Clinton was in Massachusetts yesterday, campaigning for Martha Coakley.
Or was he? Because as he stood before a crowd of hundreds of Democrat activists in the ornate Copley Square Hotel ballroom in Boston, he almost seemed to be endorsing Scott Brown, as he unwittingly reminded Bay Staters of the corruption that has plagued the Democrat party in Massachusetts and Washington. "Do you really want to put Massachusetts, which gave birth to accountable government in this country and stood up against the abuse of power, in the hands of power abusers?" he asked.
It already is, Bill. It already is.
That's why they desperately need to elect Scott Brown and defeat Martha Coakley.

There's Capitalism, and There's Crony-Capitalism. It's Important to Know the Difference. by The Elephant's Child

The Most Honest and Open Administration in the History of the World Has a Little Problem With Transparency. by The Elephant's Child
Filed under: Democrat Corruption, Law, Politics, Progressivism | Tags: Federal Watchdogs, Inspectors General, Insuring Integrity
A House committee has opened an investigation of the Office of Management and Budget, after an official there allegedly told an inspector general that they'd "make life miserable" for him if he complained to Congress about slashes in his budget.
Inspectors general are federal watchdog officials who are delegated to ensure the honesty and integrity of other federal officials. It is meant to be a non-partisan position. In this case, Patrick McFarland, inspector general of the Office of Personnel Management, received a "not so veiled threat from the OMB" about telling Congress of concerns over its budget.
A 2008 federal law allows inspectors general to inform Congress if they believe their proposed budgets would inhibit oversight duties. The law was designed to protect watchdogs from top agency officials that might cut watchdog budgets in retaliation for hard-hitting investigations.
The inspectors general watch to make sure that rules are followed, that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, and that government power is not used for improper ends — like partisan politics. That the Obama administration — the most honest and open administration in the history of the world — though deeply into deficit spending, has chosen to slash spending for internal watchdogs is worrying.
The one budget that gets cut is the department whose duties are ensuring the honesty and integrity of the federal government. Since the federal government is involved in an orgy of spending, the funding for these watchdogs should be increased, not cut. Instead, the inspectors general seem to be treated as enemies of the Obama team.
Administration treatment of Inspector General Gerald Walpin, who was investigating improper actions by Sacramento's mayor (a political ally of President Obama) was highly questionable. Walpin was fired and subject to public abuse and criticism in the media. There have been allegations of political interference at other agencies such as the International Trade Commission and even the Library of Congress.
The Chicago Boys are accustomed to playing rough. They do not welcome the media keeping an eye on them. They do not welcome criticism. They don't want federal officials monitoring them either. That's why so much is being done in closed-door meetings and in back rooms. Transparency? We'll let you know sometime after the meetings are over. If it's convenient.

Railways Manoj Sinha, IndianOil Director (Marketing) B S Canth, Executive Director (CC & Branding) Indrajit Bose, Executive Director (Aviation) T S Khwaja and Executive Director (Eastern Region Regional Services) Gautam Bose.
Speaking on the occasion, Pradhan emphasised that this indigenously developed AFS is in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Make In India' initiative . He stated that the Rourkela AFS would contribute immensely towards the development of the state, particularly western Odisha. He observed that this facility will serve the backward areas by connecting them to the mainstream. This is in line with Prime Minister Modi's vision of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'. Pradhan stated that after independence, Odisha has now started to get its deserved recognition and will in a few years be counted as one of the top industrially developed states of India.
Canth said that this AFS is the 100th AFS of IndianOil and 2nd in Odisha. IndianOil has ushered a new impetus to the economic development of this entire region through the inauguration of the Paradeep refinery.
Similarly, the Rourkela AFS would started contributing to the economic development of Rourkela and the entire region. Highlighting the salient features of the Rourkela AFS, Canth said that this particular AFS has been installed at one-fifth the cost of a full-fledged AFS. He added that this new AFS would encourage other commercial aircraft to refuel and operate from Rourkela, making it a new commercial hub in eastern India. At present, private operators with helicopters and smaller aircraft operate from Rourkela airport with a current estimated fuel volume of 25 KL.
On account of the non-availability of aviation turbine fuel (ATF) at Rourkela, aircraft operating through Rourkela had to be refueled from nearby airports like Ranchi (225 km), Jamshedpur (303 km), Bhubaneswar (320 km), Raipur (450 km), Nagpur( 602 km) or Gaya (419 km). With the inauguration of the Rourkela AFS, these aircraft can now be refueled at Rourkela, paving the way for more aircraft to operate and refuel at Rourkela.
Sinha, Oram, and Rourkela MLA Dilip Kumar Ray congratulated the IndianOil employees for their arduous efforts to complete the project and expressed the hope that this AFS would pave the way for larger commercial operations from Rourkela Airport in the near future and aid in the overall development of the region.


An MCC-Maple Woods learning community made up of a history class and a philosophy class spent a couple of recent periods re-fighting World War II — on tables in their classroom.
William Young's Modern Western Civilization class and Doug Fishel's ethics class meet back to back Mondays and Wednesdays. The same students take both classes, forming the interdisciplinary learning community. They were recently joined by a class of psychology instructor Bob Williams, who designed and ran his "Gods of War" game.
The game simulates events of World War II and requires players to consider the morality and ethics of decisions made during the war. "Winning" the war was determined by game play but also by the results of moral decisions made, Fishel says.
Students were divided into six teams, representing three Axis and three Allied countries. Each team had two to three students on it. The students rolled for "powers" such as submarines, bombs, terror and so on. They could then choose to hold or play those powers during their turn. There were five turns, representing the five years of the war.
Each turn was also assigned extraordinary destruction points (EDs), which were deducted from everyone at the end of the game, based on the number played during the game. Players moved along a token board as they conquered various countries, based on power used and weaponry.
"But the weaponry involved ED points, so it was a balancing act between winning a battle and the long-lasting effects those weapons might have," Fishel says.
It might sound a little complicated, but students caught on quickly.

What To Do After An Accident Takes Place?
Car accidents are a misfortune which can strike anyone. Even if one drives carefully and follows all traffic rules, accidents still can happen. Some of the reasons for accidents can be negligent drivers, potholes on the roads, stray animals, careless pedestrians, etc. If an accident takes place, here is what you should be doing.
The first thing to do is step back and assess the situation carefully. Injuries must be checked for and if required, an ambulance should be called immediately. Check on children first and then assess everyone else. Remember, everything else can be taken care of later.
Park your car on the side of the road to avoid blocking the road. If someone else is also involved in the accident, make sure they have called for medical help too.
If you want to report a case, make sure you click pictures - the model of the other vehicle, registration number, damage caused to the vehicles, the location of accidents, etc. Make sure to get eyewitness reports also.
File a report as soon as possible if the case isn't solved mutually.
At last, contact your insurance company and discuss the incident with them.
Drinking and driving is prohibited. It endangers multiple lives and should never be done.
Driving without a license makes you the offender, no matter what.
Do not resort to beating up someone.
Keep medical kit and emergency numbers handy in your car.
Even if you are not the one involved in the accident, some of these steps could always be taken as a passerby. You should stop over and help with whatever you can – by at least calling the authorities or the medical assistance.

The Rise of Coworking in Costa Mesa
New Ways to Work
Since people have been working in offices, there have been trailblazers searching for different ways to structure the workplace. Well, maybe that's a bit of an overstatement, but it's undoubtedly true that innovators are always looking for different ways to engage with their environments. Naturally, that extends to the work environment. Enter coworking in Costa Mesa, stage right!
In a nutshell, coworking is the practice of shared workspaces. Multiple unrelated organizations work in the same building, often utilizing the operator's administrative functions. In today's modern and ever-changing office world, one of the fastest growing alternatives to a traditional office space is coworking spaces.
The coworking industry has become a global phenomenon! Around 2008-2010, more operators joined the market, but in recent years the industry has just exploded. According to Emergent Research, over 1000 new coworking spaces opened in the second half of 2018 – almost half of which are located in the U.S. TechSpace, one of the first operators in the coworking space industry, was established in 1997 and opened in Orange County's Costa Mesa in 2012.
All TechSpace sites are strategically positioned in cities with lots of business traffic and near a variety of living options; in Costa Mesa, our members are also a stone's throw away from world-class food and cultural meccas like the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Our OC location on 3420 Bristol Street in Costa Mesa attracts all types of talent from so many industries, and this breathes life into our space.
Who Uses Coworking Spaces?
So, where do coworking spaces fit into the grand tradition of office spaces? The way people work and want to work has changed over the years with the increased capabilities of technology as well as the way people want to work. In order to attract top talent and younger demographics, many companies are ditching traditional spaces in favor of the more flexible coworking model.
What kinds of companies are best served by coworking spaces? Those in many industries, including both start-ups and established companies, are quite well-suited for coworking in Costa Mesa. The range of companies that are at home in TechSpace Costa Mesa is all over the map. Software and gaming companies are at the top of the list, which is to be expected as they seek us out for our superior technology infrastructure but we also see a lot of real estate and media companies.
We're also home to many enterprise companies, local small to mid-size businesses as they appreciate the ease of a plug-and play-office with all the logistics always taken care of, so they can focus on business. Coworking in Costa Mesa is a simple, fun solution for the local businesses who need offices that can provide creative, flexible space for a team of any size, with the crucial community aspect built right in.
Startups also love that they are able to start small, then simply move right down the hall into a larger space if they hire on 10 people in a few months – or even weeks! We love seeing startups grow and succeed knowing it all began here at TechSpace Costa Mesa.
Coworking Space Considerations
As with any major decision, there are important factors to think about when choosing a coworking space. First, look at the size of the office spaces and compare them when looking at other operators. All five-person offices are not equal! Some operators, like TechSpace, have more spacious suites, so what is listed as a five-person office could actually fit up to seven depending on how much space you feel each of your employees actually needs!
You also must consider whether or not the space has room for your company to grow. You may only need a small office now, but as your company scales, can they scale your office space? Customer service is important, too: not all operators are equal when it comes to helping their members. Make sure you will get the support you need for your business!
Coworking and Community
Employees thrive in coworking spaces due to the creative, inspiring architectural designs of the spaces themselves, as well as floor plans maximized for productivity, and of course a thriving community of like-minded individuals.
At TechSpace Costa Mesa, our offices line the outside of the building so each suite is not only spacious and private but also includes a killer view. The light, airy atmosphere of our interiors is as conducive to collaborative creativity as it is to throwing on headphones and getting in the zone.
Speaking of collaboration, how good is coworking in Costa Mesa for networking? Well, coworking is the perfect environment for networking! It is filled with a variety of businesses all with the same goal: growing and succeeding. Member events as well as community events provide opportunities to network and create new business connections without ever leaving the coworking space.
Coworking and community go hand-in-hand because people want to be with people, but they also want to be in an environment where they can succeed and get their work done. Coworking puts those two together, pairing a wide variety of types of people with an environment conducive to trying to accomplish one's goals.
Culture of Coworking in Costa Mesa
"The community on campus is next level, we have so many inspiring companies and individuals walking our halls. It's hard not to strive for more when you're a part of this crowd. At the same time, we manage to keep our laid back, relaxed SoCal style – our members are so welcoming and warm so you'll feel right at home. The work-family vibes are high at TechSpace Costa Mesa!" – Angela Wood, site manager at TechSpace Costa Mesa
Other Uses For Coworking Spaces
Coworking in Costa Mesa isn't just for large companies or start-ups, though. What other uses can coworking spaces provide? Many coworking spaces, including TechSpace, provide on-demand conference rooms for members AND non-members. For those who are working at home but need to meet clients in a professional environment, coworking spaces are an ideal option. At TechSpace, you can book meeting spaces in a variety of sizes by the hour. Virtual services such as mailing addresses, call answering by a professional receptionist, and/or a business phone number are all available.
Our Coworking Predictions
So what's in store for the future of coworking? Since the industry is expected to continue to grow in popularity through 2023, a few predictions include:
The demand for coworking will continue to rise as more and more large companies choose to forgo some or all of their traditional offices and move to the more flexible coworking model.
Partnerships will continue to form from a building owner/operator standpoint.
Some of the larger coworking operators may start acquiring some of the more successful smaller ones.

Police: Three Killed in Shooting Near Auburn University
Investigators were searching for a gunman who killed three people including two former Auburn University football players and wounded three others at a pool party near campus after several men began punching each other in a fight over a woman, authorities and witnesses said Sunday.

Over the years, the number of wild sturgeon has declined rapidly due to the irresponsible amount of overfishing. Thousands and thousands of male and female sturgeon have been killed in these impulsive fishing techniques. The wild sturgeon will need at least 25 years to recover its population, which has become almost impossible with random fishing methods.
Sturgeons have been around for thousands of years and since dinosaurs walked on the land.
And it is totally unfair that man hunts this species of fish by dissipating the genetic biodiversity of the earth.
Sturgeon in the wild is a listed endangered species, despite the efforts of some organizations that protect the different types of endangered animals. For example, the caviar farm in Latvia has created a technique in which caviar is harvested from a live sturgeon, so that the fish must no longer be killed to extract the caviar.
exceptional and majestic fish is well protected. Sturgeon is the most precious fish, so you have to save it from extinction.
of their high value, and even in some countries they are used as currency. The high value of caviar is estimated at several hundred dollars a year, and even more so in the black markets.
The sevruga caviaris extracted from sturgeon females, extracting its eggs from inside its body. After the sturgeon hunt, the eggs are filtered to separate the eggs from the flesh, then add a good amount of salt to improve the taste and preserve them.
The caviar depends on the size of the eggs and their processing and its value depends on its quality, as well as the sturgeon fish from which they come.
There are also salmon eggs, sold in the market as caviar, but pure caviar must come exclusively from sturgeons.
slow down the production of caviar.
techniques are being developed to help protect and preserve wild sturgeon.
To better protect the wild sturgeon, it must be checked before the purchase of the caviar that the box purchased must include a 20-digit code indicating that the can is certified and not that of caviar picked by dishonest fishermen who exist on the black market.


The invitation-only test begins next month, and will eventually expand to include more companies.
Starting next month, Google will begin rolling out its new Inbox email service to a small group of Google Apps customers.
The invitation-only exercise is intended to learn more about user needs, challenges, and use cases; specifically, whether you want to use Inbox as your primary email at work.
Interested users can email inboxforwork@google.com from a Google Apps for Work administrator account to apply for the early adopter program. But the search giant will be working closely with only a handful of companies, before eventually expanding over the coming months.
"Inbox wasn't created to reinvent email," Alex Gawley, director of product management for Gmail and Inbox, said in a blog post. "Inbox was created to help you reinvent the way you get things done. This means we need to understand more about how things get done (or don't) today."
Google introduced Inbox in October as a way to clear out the email clutter. It looks like a combination of the Facebook news feed and the Dropbox-owned Mailbox app, with a little bit of Google Now thrown in. It arrived first on Android before rolling out to iPhones, and landed on iOS and Android tablets last week.
Googlers have been using [Inbox] to get more done at work. Whether it's snoozing the expense report notification until after the big presentation, or adding a reminder to schedule lunch with a favorite client."
For more, see PCMag's review of Google Inbox for Gmail and the slideshow above.
Amazon recently introduced a cloud-based business email service similar to Google Apps for Work. Dubbed Amazon WorkMail, the secure, managed client allows users to send and receive messages, manage contacts, share calendars, and book resources using familiar email applications, including Microsoft Outlook. Interested businesses can sign up online for a free 30-day trial for up to 25 users.

I'm anxiously awaiting some continuous good weather. And with warm weather comes shorts, and tanks, and wonderful dresses. I took me a while to come around to the maxi dress trend. But I should have tried one on sooner, because they are wonderful. Stylish and comfortable, two features that rarely go together in fashion. I only have one maxi dress in my closet, and I can't wait to add a few more.
one. I love this one because its bright and playful. And of course I'm a huge fan of the chevron pattern. Its adorable, and could be worn to the beach or to dinner.
two. I've always been a fan of black and white stripes. And this dress has a wonderful casual feel to it.
three. I'm super into the mostly solid top and patterned skirt. Its a nice contrast. And this one has a less casual feel about it.
four. This one makes me swoon, the colors, the chevron. I want it.
five. I really like the look of a belted maxi. It takes the outfit up a notch. Casual yet refined is a look I can really get behind.
What would you splurge on this week? Grab a button and link up below.
I love a good maxi! They're so comfy that it's almost like wearing pajamas, but you look all put together anyway!

Analytical electron microscopy of carbon-rich mineral aggregates in solvent-diluted bitumen products from mined Alberta oil sands

Contaminant solids in solvent-diluted bitumen product obtained by solvent extraction and solids agglomeration (SESA) of Alberta oil sands are characterized using aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). In particular, the distribution of carbon present in these contaminant solids is determined from spatially resolved spectroscopy. Three distinct types of carbon-rich particles are identified and consist of carbonate minerals, micrometer-sized particles of toluene-insoluble organic carbon, and clay aggregates containing toluene-insoluble organic carbon. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) maps confirm the presence of carbonates, in addition to other minerals, whose abundances are determined by a recently developed quantitative phase analysis methodology. Carbonaceous micrometer-sized particles with detectable amounts of oxygen and sulfur also appear in the elemental maps and suggest the presence of bitumen-unrelated organic materials. Finally, EDX maps also suggest an intricate sub-micrometer association of carbon with clay minerals. To map the distribution of light elements and transition metals in these clay aggregates, electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) analysis has been carried out at the nanometer scale. In addition to carbon-rich regions, sub-10-nm titanium and iron oxide particles are often found dispersed on the clay surfaces. By observing clay platelets in orientations both parallel and perpendicular to the electron beam, EELS maps confirm that the carbon is present on the surface of the clays, rather than intercalated between individual clay mineral layers within the crystal structure. Furthermore, the organic coating is not uniform, displaying carbon-rich features with dimension on the order of a few nanometers, while leaving some regions of the clay mineral surface exposed. Partial nanometer-scale organic coverage has been proposed to result in a biwettable character for clay platelets that will influence the bitumen extraction process, and such coverage has been shown here directly for the first time using spatially resolved spectroscopic microscopy observations.
