I thought this rose bush was dead.
We moved into this house almost a month ago and the front landscaping (as you can see) is all weeds and sticks and thorns. I thought I'd spend some time this fall researching how to prune and care for rose bushes so that we might see blooms in the spring. It really was the last thing on my list of priorities right now.
And then, it started to rain. I think we got 5 inches in one day after months without a single drop! When I woke up the next morning and opened the blinds to a canvas of pink it took my breath away. Right outside the window, where there had been only crunchy weeds the day before, was a rose bush full of blooms. And they just keep blooming! I didn't even realize it until after the rain but there are actually FIVE rose bushes in front of the house. They're full of color and life and fragrance right now – when I thought that they were dead. Three of them I hadn't even noticed! I just thought there were a bunch of thick weeds and branches that needed to be dealt with as soon as the triple digit temps disappeared.
I swear y'all, God has been speaking to me through these roses for the last two weeks. Every time I go outside to trim new blooms off to put into a vase, I feel him right beside me. Here's what he's been saying: our eyes don't see the whole story. We can't comprehend what's waiting to happen in the unseen.
Somewhere under that thing that looks dead to our eyes, life is waiting to spring up. Did you know that our words have the same life-giving power as a good, drenching rain? When our marriage, our finances, our health or whatever it is looks "dead" – maybe it just needs some water?
• We can't afford that.
• My husband is so annoying.
• I'm sick of being sick.
• I'm thankful for new energy each day.
• I'm believing for provision.
• I know my body is healing and I make choices each day to cooperate with that healing.
Don't you think we might start smelling the sweet fragrance of new life? Don't you think hope would rise up? Don't you think we'd see new color in places that once looked completely lifeless to our eyes?
I know from experience that we will! So water all the dead places in your life with the power of your words. Watch and wait as new life springs up!!!


This page is designed to provide all the reference data GateKeeper partners might need to help people launch their GateKeeper services. If there is any other info you need please let us know and we will update this page.
This is the database template used to launch the service. You can freely pass on this file for completion by the community managers. The required fields are 'residence_email' and 'residence_contact_person' whilst the others can be blank. The 'residence_name' should be either the name of the family (The Smith Family), home or maybe apartment number as applicable. The address field in the case of apartments will then probably all be the same whilst in the others might vary. This field has to identify the home in combination with the address. All these fields can be adjusted by the resident, aside from the email address which is used for verification and should therefore be carefully checked. It should be saved as an MS-DOS .csv (comma separated values) file. We upload this to send out service invitation emails when we are ready to launch.
You can find our simple introduction to GateKeeper here. We may make additional versions of this in future and add links to these here. This intro is best viewed on a desktop computer (you can click the fullscreen button in the bottom right of the page too) or portrait on an iPad type tablet, although it will work on a phone-sized device too.
- The name and subtitle for the GateKeeper app OR a community logo sized 333 (width) x 75 pixels.
- An app background image sized 832 (width) x 1477 (height) pixels in .png or .jpg format - or at least an image file we can use to create this. Images at least 72 dpi, ideally 144+ dpi. Or the choice of one of the standard ones we have available and as illustrations.
- specifications for location - number of admins (guards and managers) and residents to be supported and a signed service agreement for this.
In addition we can use one of the standard backgrounds we offer. You can click on the button below to download the set of mockup images to use as examples of what is available off-the-shelf and some examples of typical backgrounds they might like to use as guides.
Please feel free to download our service agreement. Complete this for each location you sign up to serve as an agreement between the three parties. These relate to agreements made relating to existing agreements we make with you to act as our agent for GateKeeper services.
GateKeeper only requires wifi or 4G-enabled service and basic tablet-sized mobile devices for guards and managers. Ideally a full-sized iPad for best operation. For intensive wire-free use and service backup it might be advisable to have two devices available to ensure charged, functional devices are always available. You might also wish to utilize bluetooth headsets if you plan to use a Skype account to contact residents using GateKeeper too.
If you use Mail on a Mac you might like to download our standard introduction mail and use this to promote GateKeeper to your communities. You can use this 'as is' or drop in custom mockups we supply to you too.

Tracy posted this photo of your and a baby.
life is short and all about forgiving..,Love ya..
I know you are celebrating in Heaven like your family is celebrating your day here on Earth.

Missing you so much...especially this time of year.
Hoping that you and Jake are watching over us tonight as we celebrate together and know that you are thought of and loved more than words can say.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD! I stopped by the cemetery to visit the other day and left you an early birthday present...Hope you enjoy the stones . I left one for FAITH because I have to believe that God has you wrapped in his arms while I still hold you in my heart. I left one for HOPE because I hope you know how much I still think of you every day. And I left one for LOVE because no matter where you are, I still love you and I feel your love, too. Missing you today and always!
Gone but never forgotten. 7 years and a few days I still do my best to make you proud everyday.
You knew it was time for uncle Jake to be at peace you and god took his hand and wrapped your arm around him and said it was time to go.
We know he is safe and sound with you if only you two could be with us now. I wish heaven wasn't so far away but I know you will be with us forever.
Thank you for helping us through these rough times you are the Guardian angel anyone could ask for. I love and miss you so much.
Jake came to be with you today, Dad...We know you've been watching over him and waiting for his suffering to end. He was staring out the window at nothing in particular, but I know it was you that he saw. You brought him comfort in his final days and now that you're together again we know that we have two angels watching over us.
Love and missing you both...always!!
7 years ago today we lost a very wonderful husband, father and friend.
Keep watching over us and know that you are forever in our hearts.
Love and miss you always!
7 years ago today and I still cry every time I hear this song we played at the funeral. MISSING YOU ALWAYS and LOVE YOU FOREVER, DAD!!
Sue McLaughlin - Hugs Tracy!!
Shirley Wozniak - I was listening to this song at 1:19 this morning. Love and miss you Dad!!
Not a day goes by when I don't think of you, but especially missing you through the holidays.

It's been 5 years ago today, Dad and we all love and miss you so very much.
Our deepest sympathy, to you Mrs. Walmer, & your family. Our prayers are with you all.
We are in Texas for a couple months and just heard about Charlie. You all will be in our thought and prayers.
Loretta, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Charlie was a very wonderful guy, he will be missed.
I offer my prayers and condolesences to the family and friends of this honorable man. My sympathy on your loss.
We will never forget his smile or laugh, he was a good man and will be missed by all who knew him. The fun we had at the Lantern will stay with us forever.

Our deepest sympathy in the loss of Charlie. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and may you find peace & comfort in all those treasured memories.
Tracy, you have been my friend for many years now and I have grown to know and love your family. Our deepest sympathy on the loss of Charlie. He was and always will be remembered as a heck of a guy and we were all truly blessed to have known him. I wish with all of my heart we could have been there. We love all of you.
Sorry to hear of Charlie's passing. Our prayers are with you.
Shirley we are so sorry to hear about the lose of your father. I know he will always be with you in your heart. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your mom. Is if there anything we can do for you please call us or email us.
You have our deepest sympathies and please know that you are in our thoughts always and we are here if you need us.
So very sorry to hear of your Father's passing. Our prayers and sympathy go out to you.
From the time we moved here and I became a member of VFW Post 740, Charlie always had time to talk with me. Over the years I came to appreciate how much I learned about life by listening to Charlie. When I last spoke with him and asked how he was feeling, he smiled and said "better and better every day Phil". I will always admire his courage and bravery in the face of adversity. He was a good friend and will be sorely missed by us all.
LORETTA AND KIDS OUR LOVE GOES OUT TO YOU, IN THE LOSS OF A GREAT HUSBAND, FATHER AND BROTHER. YOUR IN OUR PRAYERS.
I know how hard it is to lose a father. I hope that you'll soon be able to focus on the wonderful memories and joyful times you spent together, celebrating a life well-lived.
My love and prayers for all the family. I know so well how sad the days will be. Hopefully he is at peace and with other loved ones now.

The Sacral Chakra is the second chakra and represents feelings and the right to feel. The sacral chakra is located below the navel. The sacral chakra connects us to our sensing abilities and issues related to feelings, our ability to be social and sometimes intimacy issues. The color of the sacral chakra is orange.
There are plenty of ways that you can stimulate the sacral chakra in your body. Here are a few examples: Hot aromatic baths, water aerobics, massage.Embracing sensation (such as different food tastes). Orange food & drink. Orange gemstones and orange clothing. Using orange oils such as melissa or orange essential oils.
If you want to explore the chakras in even more detail, visit any yoga studio in your city or use the world wide web to learn more. This is just a brief description of the sacral chakra.


It takes months and months to plan an event, but the actual event can come and go in what seems like an instant. That is why every event planner needs to include a photographer in their planning process. The right photographer will help to capture an event and immortalize those important memories forever. The key here is to find the right photographer and make sure that you are comfortable with the photographer's abilities.
Photographers are artists who take their jobs very seriously. A good photographer will work hard to find the very best angles to get those important shots and preserve your memories forever.
If you feel that your event will need more than one photographer, then hire a main photographer and ask that professional to bring in others to help. A professional photographer who has a staff of other photographers working for them can coordinate the shots and stay out of your event's way.
Not every photographer is a videographer and not every videographer is a photographer. You will find that the two are mutually exclusive and you will have to hire two professionals if you want both of these bases covered.
The convenient thing is that most photographers have videographers that they work with on a regular basis and the two often work well together at events. But it is critical that you inquire about a videographer if you want one and never assume that video is part of the photography package.
If you are planning a wedding, then make sure that your photographer has wedding experience. As any experienced event planner will tell you, all photographers are not created equal. There is a particular protocol to capturing a wedding that is not part of a corporate event or birthday party. By the same token, there are certain events at a birthday party that must be captured that do not apply to weddings.
As you talk to prospective photographers, be sure to ask specific questions about the work they have done with events such as yours. Do not accept vague answers as that is an indication that the photographer does not have the experience you need. Insist on a photographer with experience in capturing your event and you will be happy with the results.
It is easy to become enamored with a particular photographer's work and that can prevent you from seeing the potential errors that may be obvious to others. Always take the photographer samples you are considering to at least one other person to get their opinion on the work and help to find the faults you may have missed.
Event photographers will give you pricing in one of two ways. They will either quote you a flat rate that "covers the whole event," or they will hand you a schedule of fees that outlines what they charge for each service.
Whenever you discuss pricing with an event photographer, always make sure that you understand what you are getting. Before talking to photographers, you should outline what you expect from the event photographer and make sure that you are getting the services you need in the final price. You may find that the flat rate does not actually cover the whole event and you will need to negotiate additional pricing to get what you want.
Remember that the way the pictures are presented also needs to be part of the negotiations as well. If you just want the unedited images presented in a digital format, then negotiate that up front. Photographers usually have a variety of packages you can choose from for the final product. You should investigate all of your options to get what you want.
Choosing an event photographer is extremely important for your upcoming corporate event, birthday party, or wedding. You will spend a long time planning your event and once a moment at that event has passed, it is gone forever. You expect the photographer to capture those moments and preserve them for you to look at whenever you want. That is why you should never assume anything when it comes to negotiating with a photographer. You need to know what you are looking for from your photographer and be sure to get a written contract that outlines all of the services you will be paying for and receiving.

I picked up the recorded delivery from the post office yesterday at 12:30 and by 13:30 I had bought and fitted the new plates. I can't believe how painless the whole process was. I always imagined that changing plates would be a highly bureaucratic business with lots of red tape and hoops to jump through - but not a bit of it. It was one of the easiest on-line purchases that I ever made.
I can't recommend BOSSREG highly enough. The X5 plate with my initials was a bargain at £1600, and all the work was done by you. My £10K, 2003 X5 looks like a £30K car now and our neighbours must think we're rich. Its given my old motor a new lease on life.
See photo attached. Thanks very much for all your help.

Is It OK to go With Gut Instinct When Hiring?
It's also worth pointing out that studies shows that intuition and instincts are hugely flawed and are subject to unconscious bias not related to the hiring decision.
So, it seems like a closed book doesn't it? It is not OK to go with gut instinct in a hiring decision, is it?
For example, it's not possible to make every part of the hiring process objective as there are many skills, qualities and traits that can't be that easily measured, such as, Will they actually sell well for you? or How quickly will they build relationships? At some point, the people making these hiring decisions will actually have to make a judgment call based partially on objective figures and partially on gut instinct. It's a reality of the assessment and selection process.
But, if you are going to use gut instinct when hiring, at least try and limit it to areas that cannot be objectively measured. And when you are making the final judgment based on a combination of objective data and gut instinct, make this decision in the most effective way possible by tapping into the full processing power of the unconscious mind. Yes, you heard it right first time, the unconscious mind. It seems that a Joint research study from the Kellogg School of Management and Nijmegen University has shown that the unconscious mind may be better at problem solving and processing huge amounts of data and at prioritizing the important over the trivial so it can more quickly put things into perspective. This means gut instinct has a genuine part to play in hiring decisions.
The researchers found that one of the best ways to tap into the conscious mind is to take a break from the problem and focus on something else that leaves the unconscious mind to work on the problem. They claimed that the unconscious mind is most active when we are asleep. This suggests to me that you should avoid making snap hiring decisions as this draws on the weakest and most fallible aspects of your instinctual judgment. Rather, ensure to take at least a night to sleep on a decision, so your unconscious mind's problem solving powerhouse can get to work on your complex hiring decision.
Does this sound a little kooky? Well, Harvard Business Review has put its weight behind this too, having observed that executives routinely rely on their intuitions to solve complex problems, because more logical objectives methods won't do. This intuition led decision making becomes more common the higher up the corporate ladder you go. They cited other techniques that executives (CEOs of top companies) used to tap into their unconscious, right brain influenced decision making process and this was jogging, daydreaming, listening to music and other meditative techniques. So, perhaps if you can't put the hiring decision off until tomorrow, at least put it off until after lunch so you can have a lunchtime, meditative run to properly mull it over.
So, in conclusion, it's not only OK to rely on the gut when making hiring decisions, it is a reality and it becomes more of a reality as you hire more senior people or you become more senior.
But, hiring on gut is not about ignoring the objective data; you should still measure what's measurable as a gut based decision is only as good as the decision data that has been fed in through the conscious mind. It's actually about recognizing the complexity of the decision data and using both your conscious and unconscious mind in tandem to arrive at a better hiring decision.

A federal district court ruling has effectively suspended the 2015 Waters Of The U.S. (WOTUS) rule in 11 more states, bringing the total to 24 states.
According to Don Parish, senior director of regulatory relations at the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), disputes over jurisdiction have slowed appeals.
In June, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt announced his intention to repeal WOTUS. Which AFBF president Zippy Duval says was "never really about clean water." He says it was "a federal land grab designed to put a straightjacket on farming and private businesses across this nation." Still, while the Trump Administration repeatedly promised to repeal and replace the controversial law, there has been little action thus far.

Sister James is a naive young nun who has an idealistic outlook on the world. She finds herself caught in a battle between the rather jovial Father Brendan Flynn and the forbidding Sister Aloysius Beauvier. The latter is the principal of the school where Sister James is a teacher, and Father Flynn is the parish priest. She runs a tight ship, and at first the young nun believes that she is just on a power trip when she goes up against the priest. She feels very guilty because her own off-hand remark launches Sister Aloysius's crusade. However, she begins to wonder whether there might be any truth to the older nun's stated suspicions that the priest has an inappropriate relationship with one of their schoolboys.

Growth for PPB Ltd
UK based Plastic, Paper & Board Ltd is very confident about its future growth and expansion in the UK and so work has just begun to move into a specifically converted warehouse and office premises at Cross Green in the north east of Leeds. The unit extends to 61,000 sq. ft. and has up to 4,000 pallet spaces to store paper based products along with its new industrial plastics and Westland digital display portfolio. The final move is planned to be completed over the Christmas period when PPB's in-house state of the art sheeting and re-rewinding equipment plus saw and guillotine will be relocated to the new site.
This investment comes just a year after PPB invested in a specially designed new warehouse and office premises in London to fully service London and the Home Counties in which they took up occupation in September 2015. There will continue to be very close stock management between London and Leeds with same day delivery available as well as an out of hour's delivery service if required, with larger accounts often benefitting from 2-3 deliveries per day.
Richard Proctor, Managing Director for PPB said, "This investment is part of our ongoing strategy to provide the widest range of plastic, paper and board display materials and finishing services for the screen print and digital display markets."


Stella will turn 20 soon and as every year Stella Hudgens Daily is making a birthday project to wish Stella all the best. Everyone can join the project! What can you do? Deadline? How can you join it? You will find everything you need here.


The college has been giving Lecture Demonstrations for past 50 years in elementary, middle and high schools, community colleges and universities. The length of these demonstrations is typically 1 hour. You can request the type of melodic instrument you would like from the following choices: Sarode, Sitar, and Violin. These instruments will be accompanied by a Tabla (Indian drum) player. The artists generally give a 20 minute recital then talk about their instruments, the basic structure of a performance, and answer any questions the students and teachers might have. They can play longer, talk less, focus on areas of interest, and basically structure the demonstration in any way the school requests.
Our Residency Programs have been taking place since 2013. The structure varies from 5 week – 12 week programs. These direct learning programs provide 1 hour weekly lessons focusing on the basic skills and techniques of North Indian music, including composition and improvisation. The lessons are designed for three grade levels: 5th-6th, 7th-8th, and 9th-12th, but can just as easily be geared for serious college level music programs.
Uniquely, these classes are designed to be taught to students on the Western instruments already being played within their current music programs and will culminate with a performance by the students and the world-class, professional performing artists from the Ali Akbar College of Music.
Along with teaching, AACM is a performing arts organization. Concerts are what we are well known for. If you are interested in hosting one of our artists at your school please contact the office.

Velonews: Quintana Completes Final Step Toward Tour De France
Thread starter articlebot
Nairo Quintana is ready for another crack at winning the Tour de France. Photo: Tim De Waele | TDWsport.com
MILAN (VN) — Colombian Nairo Quintana (Movistar) did not win his final Tour de France warm-up race, but he left the Route du Sud with "peace of mind" after facing Alberto Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo).
The Spaniard Contador won the Route du Sud overall Sunday in southwest France to confirm his form after taking the Giro d'Italia title May 31 and his status as a favorite for the Tour de France that starts July 4 in Utrecht.
Quintana, as in the deciding stage to Pyrenean village Bagnères-de-Luchon on Saturday, was right behind him. The 25-year-old placed second in the overall behind Contador at 17 seconds. The result convinced him that he is on level, if not higher, with Contador and that he is ready for his first attempt to win the Tour.
"I'm calm after this race," Quintana said, according to Biciciclismo.
"We saw that one of the big favorites for the Tour is riding strongly, but not at a level superior to mine."
Contador, who may retire after the 2016 season, already counts a Giro d'Italia victory on his palmarès for 2015. He will attempt a rare Giro/Tour double this year and besides Quintana, he will face favorites Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) and Chris Froome (Sky).
Quintana is the rising sun in stage racing. His palmarès is nowhere near as healthy as Contador's, but he is quickly making up ground. In his last visit to the Tour in 2013, he placed second behind Froome, won the Annecy mountain stage, and took both the mountains and youth classifications.
Before leaving France, he said, "Maybe one day I can come back to try to win the Tour."
Movistar sent him to the Giro d'Italia last year and let teammate Alejandro Valverde lead the Tour team because the squad wanted a developing Quintana to have a chance at winning a grand tour before returning to the Tour. He succeeded, beating fellow Colombian Rigoberto Urán (Etixx-Quick-Step) and Fabio Aru (Astana) to take the 2014 Giro title.
This season, the team has planned Quintana's schedule around the Tour. So far he is on track.
In the mid-march Tirreno-Adriatico stage race in central Italy, Quintana beat a field that included Nibali and Contador. He blasted through the snowstorm on Monte Terminillo and took the leader's blue jersey, which he kept over the following two stages.
He did his homework as well, racing the Dwars door Vlaanderen and E3 Harelbeke. Seeing a Colombian racing for a Spanish team in the one-day classics was as rare as a sunny and warm day in northern Europe, but Quintana threw himself into the madness to prepare for the Tour de France's cobbled stage to Cambrai.
In last year's cobbled stage to Arenberg at the Tour, Contador lost 2:35 to eventual winner Nibali. The result might have been a fatal blow, but it remains unknown since Contador abandoned after a crash in stage 10.
After his European campaign — which also included a fourth-place result in the Vuelta al Pais Vasco (Tour of the Basque Country) and an eighth-place finish in the Tour de Romandie — Quintana returned home to Colombia to train at altitude. Last week, he flew to Europe for his final march to the Tour de France. The stopover at the Route du Sud only added to the confidence that he has in himself and that followers have in his chances to win cycling's biggest race.
"This result gives me peace of mind because I'm re-finding my race rhythm," Quintana said. "The Route du Sud was an ideal race to understand my level of fitness and the feedback that I had were very comforting. I'm truly well."
The only thing that remains to be seen is how Quintana will stack up to Froome, Nibali, and other favorites like American Tejay van Garderen (BMC Racing). The three raced last week in the Critérium du Dauphiné, which Froome won over van Garderen.
The Tour de France remains the final test, a chance to see if the lead-up races, homework, and altitude training will equal a win for Quintana.

President Erdogan's Four Hour Meeting with President Trump at White House
By Ali Cinar - President Trump welcomed President Erdogan at the White House over four hours for bilateral discussions on a range of important issues despite concerns from Congress over Turkey's military operation into northern Syria. Trump's face-to-face meeting with Erdogan was a very significant step in resolving disagreements. Both leaders seemed in reducing tensions and finding a way forward which benefits both sides. There are many areas of interest and benefit to both nations, from the economy to education, energy, and technology, and the previously discussed trade goal of $100 billion was part of their conversation when the two leaders met.
The following topics were discussed at the meeting: S400 F35,Syria,YPG-PKK,Trade Agreement, NASA Employee Serkan Golge, Anti-Turkish Resolutions at the Capitol Hill.
President Trump said "The American and Turkish peoples have been friends and allies for many, many decades." And he believes that Turkey's cooperation is crucial to protecting United States interests in the region and beyond. In addition, The United States-Turkey relationship has benefitted both of our countries for more than 90 years.
President Trump said a tentative cease-fire is holding in northeastern Syria and thanked Erdogan for "his cooperation." He said the two leaders "made tremendous progress" toward more than quadrupling bilateral trade — to $100 billion — and "hopefully will be able to resolve" a conflict over Turkey's S400 purchase from Russia. President Trump thinks that The United States and Turkey work together on numerous security issues in the Middle East and around the globe.
President Trump said the followings during the joint press conference : " I'm a big fan of the President, I have to tell you that. And I know that the ceasefire, while complicated, is moving forward and moving forward at a very rapid clip. There's a lot of people that want to see that work after so many decades and so many centuries, you might say. "
Once President Trump finishes his speech, President Erdogan made an opening remarks:
"We are the only NATO Ally, as Turkey, who has fought Daesh in a very resolved fashion. And until so far, we have detained 7,680 foreign fighters and we have sent them back to their countries of origin. And we have been entry to 77,000 individuals who are considered to be affiliated with Daesh terrorist organization. And, right now, in our presence, a total of 1,216 Daesh members are incarcerated, coming from 40 different countries. We have quite recently detained 287 individuals, including women and children who have fled the prisons that PKK and YPG used to control."
President Erdogan also criticized the House's passage of an anti- resolution officially designating the so-called Armenian genocide. Erdogan insists that historians should be involved with this issue not politicians.
MEETINGS WITH SENATORS:
President Trump has invited some well-known Republican senators to attend a meeting with President Erdogan.
Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.), Ted Cruz (Tex.), James E. Risch (Idaho), Rick Scott (Fla.) and Joni Ernst (Iowa) had a meeting with Erdogan and Trump in the Oval Office.
"We're having a very good discussion," Trump said. President Erdogan seemed happy to discuss with the Senators who are against Turkey's S400 Purchase from Russia and Turkey's Syria's operation. President Erdogan showed 4 minutes video to President Trump and Senators during the meeting.
Senator Graham "The purpose of this meeting is to have an American civics lesson with our Turkish friends."
Senator Scott :"We're in a better position where we're better allies; where we understand exactly what's going to happen with the S-400; so it's not -- so Turkey is heading in the direction of the United States, not heading the direction of Russia."
Senator Ernts : "You are very important to us. So we want to bring you back into that fold. We want to discuss the S-400. "
Senator Cruz: "Turkey and the United States are friends, are allies. We have many shared strategic interests and we look forward to continuing that friendship and alliance. "
- Impeachment: Many reporters were asked about the Impeachment process that was initially started on November 13th. Trump said he's 'too busy to watch' public impeachment hearing
- Joint Committee for S400: President Trump "We've asked our secretary of state and ministry of foreign affairs and our respective national security advisers to immediately work on resolving" the problem.
- Mr. Kurd: K24 Representative asked a question to President Erdogan and President Trump.
- Letter: President Erdogan said that he had brought the Oct. 9 missive to Washington with him and given it back to Trump.
FINAL COMMENT:
The strong friendship of Turkish-American relations is extremely important, not only for the two countries, but for the entire world. Turkey had an opportunity to have good PR at White. President Trump provided him a platform from White House to explain where Turkey stands on many issues in the Region. The World TV channels broadcasted his remarks uninterruptedly for 20 minutes.
It is a very critical time for the NATO Allies. Turkey will not give up on S400 and U.S. is very crystal clear on sanctions if Turkey insists on S400. Open dialogue between two leaders are very important however many issues remain on the table.

Tomorrow's strike at Hull College has been deferred following positive talks between the college and UCU.
UCU members were set to walk out in a row over redundancies affecting up to 142 staff, but have postponed the action by a week until Thursday 20 October. The union said talks were ongoing and it remained optimistic that the dispute could be resolved without the need for industrial action.
UCU members overwhelmingly backed industrial action, with 86% of staff who voted backing the walkout, and 96% committing themselves to action short of a strike. The action short of a strike was due to start on Friday and would have seen union members strictly working their contracted hours and refusing to undertake any voluntary duties. That action has also been deferred to allow for further talks.
Since 2011, the college has lost 385 jobs through redundancy. The latest proposals came despite a promise from the college management after the most recent redundancy round that no more job losses would be required in the near future.


St. Louis, MO (September 12, 2018) - The Wells Fargo Innovation Incubator (IN2), a technology incubator and platform funded by the Wells Fargo Foundation and administered by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), is expanding its program to advance technologies that address the interconnection of food, water, and energy.
The Donald Danforth Plant Science Center will be a strategic partner to help further develop and validate promising agriculture technologies addressing critical sustainability challenges. The announcement was made at Danforth's Ag Innovation Showcase on Sept. 11 in St. Louis, MO.
The Danforth Plant Science Center, the world's largest independent plant science institute, will focus on research and validation of innovative solutions that address how to use digital agriculture to produce food more sustainably, much like the way NREL leads the program's validation of technologies related to commercial buildings. Future IN2 activities under the food-water-energy nexus will include food system inefficiencies and water conservation to help meet IN2's goal of advancing smart, connected communities.
"As one of the largest lenders to the agriculture and agricultural technology (agtech) sectors, Wells Fargo will bring its expertise to bear in helping these early-stage startups make it to the commercial marketplace," notes Ramsay Huntley, Clean Technology and Innovation Philanthropy program officer with Wells Fargo.
IN2 finds and selects companies through a network of Channel Partners consisting of incubators, accelerators and universities across the U.S. After validation, participating companies with commercially ready technologies have the potential to beta test with a strategic program partner. IN2 already is examining its networks for potential beta testing partners and plans to announce the selection of Round 5 agtech portfolio companies in spring 2019. To date, IN2 has funded 20 early-stage companies that have gone on to raise $89.5 million in follow-on funding from external sources.
For a complete list of IN2 portfolio companies, visit in2ecosystem.com/portfolio-companies.
About the Wells Fargo Innovation Incubator IN2 is a $30 million clean-technology incubator and platform funded by the Wells Fargo Foundation. Administered by and housed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colo., IN2's mission is to speed the path to market for early-stage, clean-technology entrepreneurs. Companies selected for participation in the program receive up to $250,000 in non-dilutive funding, technical support and validation from experts at NREL and the Danforth Plant Science Center's facilities, and the opportunity to beta test at a Wells Fargo facility or with a strategic program partner. Launched in 2014 with an initial focus on supporting scalable solutions to reduce the energy impact of commercial buildings, IN2 expanded its focus in 2018 to support innovation in sectors such as food systems, energy storage, water and others with the ultimate goal of fostering smart and connected communities of the future.

As we discuss personalized learning at school, I'm often part of conversations about giving students a choice about how they express their understanding. Inevitably this may depend on the students' ability to choose the tools he or she wants to use. At school we have a BYOD programme, so students already have a choice of which laptop they bring to school. However, they do have to have a laptop as their primary device - just relying on a mobile device is not an option at this time. What we discovered, through various prototypes over the past 5 years, is that mobile devices do offer a different way of doing things - and that one device may not be the answer to all of a student's learning needs.
In our Grade 4 we have just completed a historical narrative which formed the summative assessment for the Where We Are in Place and Time unit. Students were given the choice of making paper slides, using Book Creator, iMovie and Voicethread. At the same time students were encouraged to use whatever devices they had for making these narratives. Some students continued to work on their laptops, others brought in mobile devices from home. Some students even used a mixture of devices, for example green screening on one device and putting the project together on another.
One advantage is that students are able to use the devices that they already have at home instead of or in addition to the laptops that they use in school. These other devices are likely to be the ones that they will be using in the future. Being flexible about the devices they are using is also a skill necessary for the future, as they need to adapt to the rapidly changing world of technology. Students then published their narratives onto the Grade 4 blog - another tool that they are becoming increasingly confident in using and which supports the aim of the Grade 4 teachers to have their students become global communicators.


The Territory Design process to this point has been heavy in data analysis. Now it's time to take all that information to begin driving actionable decisions through the creation of initial territory drafts. A Territory Optimization software tool isn't required to complete this step, but having one will greatly improve the quality and speed of your decisions. There are many tools available including those from Mapping Analytics, TerrAlign, TTG, etc.
To begin you need to revisit the overall goal for your territory design and rationalize it against the insights you can gain from studying the market potential data. Determine which approach is right one to prioritize your focus around.
Does Market Potential indicate that certain customers/prospects or customer/prospect segments represent a significant portion of the potential?
If so, you should carve up territories ensuring the highest value customers/prospects receive appropriate attention. If you dilute territories with low potential customers/prospects, they will likely be ignored. Likewise, if you stack territories with too many high potential customers/prospects, each will likely not get the attention it deserves to drive share of wallet increases.
Begin your work by deciding which customers/prospects to pursue and which ones you are consciously not going after. Then take the customers/prospects you are going to pursue and bucket them by the most important dimensions – named accounts, industry, geography, etc. Using your tool of choice, look to balance revenue, opportunity and workload within those dimensions. Lastly, align your best reps with the best territories to ensure you set yourself up for success.
Does Market Potential indicate that there is significant balance across customers/prospects?
If so, you should carve up territories to optimize balance across each to improve overall revenue per head, quota attainment and consistent market share growth.
This approach requires running many what if scenarios to seek optimal balance of revenue, opportunity and workload. A territory optimization tool will make this job much easier. You want all your territories to look similar so you can assign reps based on convenience. If you have reps of different skill/performance level you may want to purposely create some imbalance (no more than 20%) in the territories to align past rep performance with opportunity potential.
Does Market Potential indicate high concentrations of opportunity around small geographical areas?
If so, you should carve up territories around major pockets of opportunity deploying generalist reps that minimize headcount and travel costs to maximize selling time and reduce your cost of sales.
Begin by using your tool of choice to rank zip codes, metro areas or states in terms of revenue, opportunity and workload. Then consciously decide which geographies you are going to pursue and which ones you are going to either ignore or pursue through some another strategy – channel partner, inside sales, self-service, etc. Lastly consider sub divide your zip codes, metro areas or states to create territories that are both reasonably balanced and as concentrated in terms of opportunity as possible.
All the approaches above require multiple iterations as you create the initial cuts. Do not be discouraged if the initial attempts are difficult to balance all the variables. Through tuning and optimization the right decisions on territory boundaries will become clear.

Home / News / Eurotunnel Group Under Fire for Excessive Charges
Eurotunnel Group Under Fire for Excessive Charges
Image via Flickr by hakzelf
Following a two-year investigation, European regulators have announced that the Eurotunnel Group is charging about twice as much as it should to allow freight trains and passenger trains to cross. The Eurotunnel Group, comprised of French and British authorities, has operated the Eurotunnel since 1986. Currently, the tunnel is transporting only about 43 percent of its capacity.
According to investigators, freight companies and passengers are avoiding the tunnel due to the exorbitant costs, which is causing crowding and congestion in alternate transport routes. The high charges and decreased traffic across the Eurotunnel is also being blamed for pollution concerns, as freight and passengers are forced to move above ground.
Shares in the Eurotunnel Group dropped 12 percent Thursday in response to the release of the report by investigators. Initiated in response to complaints from both commuters and freight shippers, the investigation took about two years. The current minimum charge for a freight train to cross through the Eurotunnel is 3,645 euros, which equals about $4,878 USD per train. Vice president of the European Commission Siim Kallas said end customers were forced to pay more for their purchases to cover the high fees for freight to cross through the Eurotunnel.
The European Commission has issued a warning to both France and Britain to lower their fees. The fee structure is supposed to be based on the amount of wear and tear the trains cause when crossing the tracks. Investigators estimate that the current charges are about two times higher than the wear and tear these trains cause.
Additionally, Brussels has called for an independent rail regulator to monitor the charges and operations of Eurotunnel. The current regulators are not independent, and are appointed by the French and British officials who run the Eurotunnel. No word has yet been released about Eurotunnel Group's plans for rate changes, but their officials did attempt to defend their rate structure. However, the arguments lack merit when compared to similar transport systems.


Periodontal disease affects roughly 80% of adults in the United States. Scheduling an appointment with your dentist may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you're expecting but, it is necessary in order to protect the health and safety of both you and your baby.
Pregnancy increases estrogen and progesterone which can exaggerate the way in which gum tissues react to plaque. 'Pregnancy gingivitis', or red, swollen, tender gums, affects most pregnant woman to some degree. If left untreated this can lead to periodontitis, a more serious form of perio disease. A visit to the dentist is essential to ensure that you avoid any complications with your pregnancy due to periodontal disease.
What complications can periodontal disease cause?
Periodontal disease increases the likelihood of having a preterm birth, which is one of the leading causes of infant mortality. In fact, findings show that perio disease is a more common cause for preterm and low birth weight babies than alcohol consumption or smoking. Perio disease increases the bacterial levels in your mouth. This can result in bacteria entering your bloodstream through your gums, which then can enter the uterus and affect your baby.
During pregnancy, there is a chance that one may develop benign oral tumors. These growths occur when gums become irritated due to the combination of hormonal changes and excess plaque. Taking preventative measures such as visiting your dentist during pregnancy can lower your risk of developing oral tumors, which can cause discomfort in expecting mothers and affect brushing, drinking, eating and overall nutrition. While they usually do go away on their own, your dentist can remove them if the discomfort becomes difficult to tolerate or they are interfering with your ability to provide your baby with proper nutrients.
Perio disease exposes your baby to unnecessary dangers, causes increased discomfort to expecting mothers, can lead to infections and may also negatively affect your nutritional intake. Schedule an appointment with your dentist early in your pregnancy to lower the risk of exposing your child to bacteria or unnecessary medications.
Excellence in Dentistry wants to ensure that you match that expecting mother glow with a healthy, gleaming smile. Visit us early on in your pregnancy so that we can check on your oral health and do everything we can to ensure the comfort and health of you and your child. During your visit, we can discuss and create a plan specifically suited for your needs and are happy to answer any questions you may have.

In this article, which is an expanded version of the 2004 article, "How America Can Free Itself of Oil--Profitably," Amory Lovins points out that saving oil is cheaper than buying it, and that the United States can eliminate its oil dependence and revitalize its economy by adopting smart business strategies. Lovins argues that America can end oil dependence by redoubling the efficiency of using oil; save half of natural gas at an eighth of today's market price, and then substitute it for nearly a third of the oil; and Replace the last fifth of U.S. oil with modern biofuels. These strategies will make America more competitive and result in a better energy policy for the country.
In this annotated version of the article from Foreign Affairs, the authors argue against drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for economic, security, and environmental reasons. For the complete article, see "Fool's Gold in Alaska," (RMI document ID E01-03).
In this article from Foreign Affairs the authors argue against drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for economic, security, and environmental reasons.
This letter published in Science magazine in 1998, argues that if energy end-use efficiency measures are undertaken, oil will become an uncompetitive energy resource. The letter was written in response to Richard Kerr's 1998 Science article, "Big Oil Under the Caspian".
In this classic from 1982, Amory Lovins and L. Hunter Lovins argue that domestic energy infrastructure is vulnerable to disruption, by accident or malice, often even more so than imported oil. According to the authors, a resilient energy system is feasible, costs less, works better, is favored in the market, but is rejected by U.S. policy.

Diamondbacks Sign Jason Kubel
By Jim McLennan@AZSnakepit Dec 19, 2011, 10:42am EST
Share All sharing options for: Diamondbacks Sign Jason Kubel
Well, if you thought the D-backs were done with position players... Think again. Numerous sources report the team signed free-agent outfielder Jason Kubel to a two-year deal for $15 million; Steve Gilbert reports there's an option, but no word on the amount involved in that at this point, or if it's player, team or mutual. [Edit: Per Nick Piecoro, 2014 option is a mutual one, also for $7.5 million, with a low buyout of less than one million].
Kubel turns thirty in May, and has spent his entire career with the Twins since making his debut for Minnesota in August 2004. In his career, he has a line of .271/.335/.459, which works out at a 112 OPS+, with last season's numbers being very close to those - .273/.332/.434, 111 OPS+. [And a h/t to blank_38, who I just realized Fanshot this while I was still giving it Z's!]
The signing came as a bit of a surprise, since it was though that if the Diamondbacks were to sign anyone else, it would like be a pitcher, with free-agent starter Hiroki Kuroda reported to be top of their list. No-one had linked Arizona's name to Kubel - the Reds appeared to be top of the list - and it seemed like the 2012 outfield was already set. But trust Kevin Towers to have something tricky up his sleeve, and Arizona fans will probably heave a sigh of relief at the realization that they won't be defending their NL West championship, with Willie Bloomquist as their fourth outfielder next year.
Kubel was primarily a DH for the Twins early in his career, with 157 games there in 2008-09, compared to 107 in the outfield. However, over the past couple of seasons, he has mostly played right, with 133 appearances in RF over 2010-11, and only 79 playing Evil Abomination of the American League (as I like to refer to the designated hitter). There's a reason for this: Dave Cameron puts it bluntly, saying Kubel's defense has "essentially proven to be so bad that he should probably have been moved to permanent DH by now." His numbers suggest that whatever offensive improvement Kubel represents, will be negated by his defensive sub-mediocrity.
Part of that is because Kubel obviously won't be playing in right-field for the Diamondbacks. That spot is clearly locked up for the Diamondbacks, and it seems to be the case that Kubel will be the starting left-fielder, replacing incumbent Gold Glove winner, Gerardo Parra. On that basis, it seems like an odd move by the team: "Congratulations, Gerardo on your award. Oh, by the way, you're moving back to the bench." It's especially odd as Parra had a breakout season offensively, and will still only be 24 next Opening Day. It's possible this signing is a prelude to a trade, as Arizona sells high on Parra.
Assuming that's not the case, it'll be interesting to see how this shakes down in 2012. There's no doubt Gerardo is a better fourth outfielder than Bloomquist, not least because he can simply slot in to any of the three positions. I'll also expect to see him replace Kubel just about every day after the seventh inning. However, both he and Kubel are left-handed bats, so there's no platoon advantage to be found there. One wonders if another possible scenario would be to move Parra to center and trade Chris Young? The latter is now 28, and had a lower OPS than Parra last season. Who knows the mind of Kevin Towers...
Kubel did miss seven weeks of the 2011 season with a sprained foot, which kept his power numbers down to their lowest level since 2006. He also struggled after coming back, batting only .229 the rest of the way, as the Twins floundered their way to the worst season in almost thirty years. But over an average 162-game season, he has been good for 22 homers and 92 RBI in his career, alongside the .271 average, which is the kind of season only Justin Upton has produced for Arizona. I'm thinking he'll likely hit fourth, between Upton and Paul Goldschmidt in our 2012 line-up.
Nick Piecoro Tweeted some comments from management:
GM Kevin Towers said he had an offer out to Hiroki Kuroda for "10 days to two weeks" but couldn't get a yes. Got tired of waiting around. Towers made it sound like he doesn't intend to trade Gerardo Parra. "That's not to say you don't always keep your ears open if something presents itself, but we think we're better with Kubel… Parra is still very much a part of this club and was a big part last year. You can't have enough good players." Kubel signing also means Dbacks likely to go with one of their prospects to round out the rotation.


Every time the summer season brings on its heat with full vengeance…I prefer to celebrate it with flirty summer wear rather than cringe about the heat. After all, this is the perfect season to flaunt those florals, dresses, funky outfits, and add a splash of color without worrying about the weather. You can get comfortable and fashionable with utmost ease. And, the shopping stores are ensuring we are pampered enough!
Here's my pick of 5 pieces you need to invest in this summer. I'm assuming a majority of us already store jeggings, jeans, and palazzos so here's a fun way to add a touch of difference to your wardrobe.
Dress by Sassafras. I kinda liked this airy dress. Perfect when we have no time to wax. Long sleeves to keep you covered. Suitable for an evening out with friends.
A flirty crop top that goes with skirts, pants, trousers, and the lot! This top breaks free from the dainty summer prints. A bold rose design with a nice breezy look complements every item in your wardrobe. A versatile design that is perfect for the summer. Get it here.
This light cotton voile blouse caught my eye for its ruffles and overall simplicity. Perfect when I just want to feel comfortable without being too fussy over the details. Team it up with white pants for a summery look. Best thing, you can customize this top as per your requirements online. Check this design from eshakti here.
This woven rayon twill dungaree is one of my choices for the summer. I personally have a soft spot for dungarees having sported different versions of them during college days. I chose this peach color as it lends a fresh look for this hot season. And, team them with sneakers for a casual day out at the beach or the mall. Check it out here.
While I have made quite a mix bag of outfits for this summer season, I would love to know your favorites too. Drop me a message below!

Rwanda has long attracted tourists for its gorillas, and they have generated a large chunk of the country's tourism revenue. However, the country is working to diversify its tourism industry, and has now opened the Musanze Caves Complex. CCTV'S Peter Wakaba samples the caving experience and files this story. Tight security, a lot of protective gear, and a large cave complex and we are ready to go.
The Musanze Caves complex in Northern Rwanda, is an underground formation caused by a volcanic eruption millions of years ago, long known by the locals but only more recently developed as a tourism attraction and being readied for a regular stream of visitors.
In fact several tube caves have been discovered in the wider area of Musanze, which is just about 2 km in length, has massive potential?
The Rwanda Development Board (RDB) has today launched the Musanze Caves. The caves have been developed in collaboration with the Rwanda Defence Forces/ Reserve Forces and ready for touristic activities.
The Musanze caves are ready for touristic activities. So far, 400 people are recorded to have already experienced the Caves since its development two months ago.
"This is yet another key result toward our goal to increase tourism products; caves are expected to attract many tourists, we hope to see them spending more days in Rwanda and specifically in Musanze which is among our Destination Management Areas".
The Musanze caves development works have been accomplished in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence-Reserve Force from January 2013 for tourism purpose. The works consisted in the establishment of tourist walkways and trails, stairs and other safety measures for tourists. Today, The Ministry of Defence has also handed over the cave to the Rwanda Development Board.
The Head of Tourism and Conservation at RDB noted also that the local community will benefit from this new product as business will flourish at the caves surrounding. "Local investors have already shown interest to build hotels at the cave entrance. We will also ensure that local communities benefit from this new product".
More than 600 people are reported to have participated in the development works of caves and this has positively impacted their daily lives.
The Musanze caves offer in-depth understanding of geological history and development of the earth. They are located in the volcanic region of Rwanda where different lava flow layers dating from 65million years ago have created the Albertine Rift Valley. The launched Caves are two kilometers long underneath.
The Musanze caves is the newest Rwanda touristic product. Moreover, there are still plenty of adventure to be experienced in the area including the Buhanga Eco-park known for coronation of Rwandan former kings, the panoramic view of the twin lakes namely Burera and Ruhondo, Karisimbi Volcano climbing, Bisoke Volcano climbing, trek to Dian Fossey grave, golden monkeys trekking and the famous mountain gorillas trekking.
Rwanda will soon allow tourists to visit the 2-km long prehistoric cave in Musanze (North), according to Ms. Rica Rwigamba, Head of Tourism and Conservation at the Rwanda Development Agency.
'Soon, tourists visiting Rwanda can discover caves in Musanze which are currently under development,' she said, adding that this is the first time that 'underground tourism' will be introduced in the country.
Through the launch of this new tourist attraction, the Rwandan authorities want to attract more visitors to the country, especially to the volcanic region located in the northern Rwanda where natural bamboo forests are also known to shelter the mountain gorillas.
'The region has plenty of hotels and other facilities to receive tourists whose number could increase with the launch of the new site,' Ms. Rwigamba stressed.
The largely undisturbed caves of Musanze are located in the northern region of Rwanda at the foot of the Virunga mountain range, which straddles Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
In 2012, Rwanda received one million tourists, generating US$281.8 million in revenue, a 12 per cent increase over the previous year.

Community, Language and Culture in Movie El Norte
The movie "El Norte "is the one of the most successful and influential movies to represent the immigrants state. Director Gregory Nava's gives the story of Guatemalan siblings Rosa and Enrique's journey in a melodramatic way. The movie is divided to three main parts, Guatemala, Mexico and United States. The story of Rosa and Enrique's shows us community, the power of language and culture in different countries. The story begins in Guatemala; it shows the happy family life which Rosa and Enrique have. Their family friends are visiting and they are talking about the life in United States. Rosa's godmother says she has been reading Good Housekeeping magazines for ten years but she could not dare to go to El Norte. They are dressing…show more content…
It shows the community does not really welcome immigrants. Also it is very difficult to adopt life in new place, for example washing machine is so complicated for Rosa so she washes all the clothes by hand and lays them on the grass in the garden. Rosa and Enrique attend language school to improve their English. Movie emphasizes the power of the language again and also shows learning English helps their life to get better. Nacha helps Rosa to change her appearance with more fashionable clothing Nacha said "have you ever heard Sears" and tokes her for shopping. When Enrique sees her with new clothing and makeup, he says "What is this? You look like a clown! ". Scene shows Enrique's attachment to their culture also they try hard to integrate. Enrique gets an offer for a better pay job with the chance to become legal resident but he refuses to leave his sister. The house they are staying is a mess when they come but after a while they clean and organize it and one scene Enrique told his sister that "In this country you work hard you can get somewhere" they are proud to earn better life standards. Then suddenly everything changes, Rosa gets sick, immigration was looking for Enrique. Enrique gets promoted at the restaurant and jealous coworker is upset about it and calls immigration police. At the end Rosa dies in the hospital room. The conversation between Rosa and Enrique is heartbreaking. Rosa said "they told us we make lots of money but

The Sleep Dealer begins with an unusual image of a human being who has slowly been transformed into an alien body. This alien body is not a strange green-skinned visitor from another planet, it is the body of a young Mexican man named Memo who has been forced to 'upgrade' his physical body in order to work in an advanced factory on the US/Mexico border.
