What is a Community Interest Company (CIC)?
A CIC set-up became available in 2005 and its purpose is for entities that are non-charitable enterprises but benefit the community.
A CIC can be established as a company limited by guarantee or a company limited by shares.
A significant aspect of a CIC is that it must be set-up to fulfil a community purpose - see reporting requirements section below.
Who regulates CIC's?
The Community Interest Company Regulations assist to regulate CIC entities. This regulation is not more onerous or limiting as charity regulators (OSCR) making it a lot more commercial and appealing for people to choose as a set-up.
There is a much lower level of governance expectation for a CIC unlike a charity but each year a CIC must submit a CIC34 form to the regulator which must be submitted on paper only.
Can an existing entity convert to a CIC?
Yes – in most cases any company would need to pass the relevant resolutions and obtain approval from the CIC Regulator via form CIC37. In addition, existing charities may also convert to a CIC providing they have approval from OSCR.
How to register or convert to a CIC?
A CIC can be registered at Companies House in the same way as a normal company with the same incorporation documents.
The CIC Regulator for all the UK is in Cardiff. Companies House will pass the application to the Regulator. CICs cannot be registered electronically so paper forms must be used. You can find out more here >setting up and registered a CIC
There is an additional form, a CIC36, required for incorporation of a CIC, which includes the community interest statement. The current cost to set-up is £35. The Articles of Association for a CIC must contain a statement that the company is a Community Interest Company and must comply with the detailed requirements of the CIC regulations.
Defining features of a CIC entity
When a CIC is formed, it must express how it intends to benefit "the Community".
This term can be defined in several ways, but usually it refers to a distinct group of people, wider than the membership of the CIC itself, which the reasonable person might consider to be "a section of the community".
As such, "the Community" might refer to the residents of a particular town, or a social group such as "the elderly." However, a CIC may also have as its purpose a more general benefit to the community at large such as "the promotion and encouragement of sporting activities."
The Regulations made under the Act provide that any group of individuals may constitute a section of the community if:
They share a readily identifiable characteristic OR
Other members of the community of which this group forms part do not share that characteristic.
The Asset Lock
This is an essential feature of all CICs and is designed to make sure that the assets of the CIC are used exclusively for the benefit of the community.
Any assets and profits (aside from those distributed in accordance with the rules on dividend capping) must be retained within the CIC and used solely for community benefit.
The only bodies to which assets are allowed to be transferred are other "asset-locked bodies" which are organisations' that already have an asset lock such as charities, or to other CICs.
The asset lock must be referred to explicitly as a provision in the CIC's articles of association. This is extremely important to consider if a CIC is ceasing or dissolving as the asset lock must be considered in these circumstances.
The Dividend Cap
In the case of a CIC existing as a company limited by shares, a 'dividend cap' must be put in place.
The purpose of this is to ensure that a balance is achieved between providing an attractive investment opportunity (often essential in stimulating and maintaining the financial backing required to run the CIC) and making sure that the majority of the profits made are applied for the community benefit.
The cap has two elements:
An aggregate limit on the total dividend declared
An ability to carry forward unused dividend capacity
Maximum aggregate limit: The maximum aggregate dividend limit is calculated with reference to the company's profits: specifically, the aggregate dividend must not currently exceed 35% of the distributable profits of the CIC.
Ability to carry forward: If a CIC does not use its entire dividend capacity in a given financial year, then any unused capacity can be carried forward up to five years subsequently.
The performance-related interest cap: there exist similar provisions which govern performance-related interest – i.e. in circumstances when interest payable on debts or debentures is linked to the performance of the CIC, the level of that interest is subject to a cap.
Unlike a charity which gets various tax reliefs, a CIC entity is not exempt from tax so is payable. This is important to consider if approached for set-up of a new CIC or charity being more beneficial.
Board Members and their control
Board members of a charity may generally only be paid where its constitution allows this and it can be justified as in the best interests of the charity.
In practice, it is deemed more risky and ethically wrong for a Trustee to be paid for commercial services and maintain their independence.
However, the owners of a community interest company can retain control over the business while being appointed and paid fairly for their work as directors of the company. As well as the founders themselves, it may be easier to attract additional skilled individuals to the CIC through the offer of a measure of control alongside a salary set at a market rate.
Does a CIC have any specific reporting requirements?
A CIC must file with its accounts each year an annual community interest report (form CIC34) which will be placed on the public record at Companies House and copied to the CIC Regulator.
The report must include details of the remuneration of the directors, the dividends paid on shares and the interest paid on capped loans. It will also need to explain what the CIC has done to benefit the community and how it has involved its members in its activities.

Nova Scotia doctors battle government over pay model
Wendy Glauser | Toronto, Ont. | January 24, 2018
A blended physician-pay model could provide financial security while still incentivizing doctors to see more patients.
Doctors Nova Scotia is calling for the provincial government to create policies that would allow family physicians to work and be paid differently. The group argues the net migration of family physicians out of the province will continue to worsen if changes aren't made.
The Department of Health and Wellness is arguing, however, that it will not change the agreement until March 2019, when the current contract ends. "Formal negotiations for the next master agreement is the appropriate time and process to consider proposed changes to payment models," Tracy Barron, media relations advisor, said in an email statement. Barron added that 80% of doctors voted in favour of the agreement in 2016.
But Doctors Nova Scotia is suing the government for breach of contract. Among other complaints, the group claims the government has negotiated alternative payment plans (APPs) with some family physicians, instead of using the template agreed upon by Doctors Nova Scotia, the Nova Scotia Health Authority and the government. Most doctors in the province are paid via fee for service. Doctors Nova Scotia said the APPs are not ideal because they require doctors to provide care to patients in hospitals, and they don't incentivize doctors to see additional patients.
There are almost 45,000 Nova Scotians on a wait list for a family doctor, and about 60 family physician positions are unfilled in the province. More than half of Nova Scotians' doctors are over age 50, added Dr. Manoj Vohra, president of Doctors Nova Scotia. "The crisis is only going to get worse" if a new payment model isn't created, he said.
Vohra said his group would like to see a payment model that blends capitation with fee for service. "Being paid a portion of the fee-for-service billings can incentivize doctors to work harder, and then you have the base salary that can ensure that when you're unable to work harder, you don't go into the red," explained Vohra.
Physician billing data reveal striking gender pay gap
Canada's PPE crisis isn't over yet, say doctors
Increasing safety concerns over medical licensing exam
The call for a collaborative care model is partly inspired by policy changes implemented in New Brunswick last year. Under the Family Medicine New Brunswick program, doctors are paid a set fee for each patient on their rosters, and an additional 40% of the provincially negotiated fee for each service they provide. To join the program, doctors must agree to work with a group of physicians to provide after-hours care for patients. Andrew MacLean, director of Family Medicine New Brunswick, said the program is just beginning to roll out and they're not ready to comment on how many doctors have signed up.
It is not surprising, however, that the Nova Scotia government is reluctant to adopt a blended model, according to Greg Marchildon, professor at the Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation at the University of Toronto. "Perhaps the government wants to run the numbers very carefully to know exactly how fiscally at risk they are [under the proposed blended model], and this is partly because of the experiences in other parts of the country," he said.
Blended models in Ontario "have been very expensive and there's been mixed evidence in terms of their results," he said. While systematic evaluations haven't been performed, studies have shown that Ontario's Family Health Teams outperform fee-for-service models in colorectal cancer screening and diabetes care, but that patient-reported outcomes regarding access and coordination didn't improve under new models.
But unlike in Ontario, new fees for email and phone consults in New Brunswick will incentivize increased access to care, said MacLean. Plus, by providing a portion of the fee-for-service payments, in addition to paying per patient, doctors remain incentivized to see a higher volume of patients. "One of the benefits to being late to the party on funding collaborative-care models is we were able to look at what worked and didn't work elsewhere," said MacLean.
In Nova Scotia, however, the fractured relationship between Doctors Nova Scotia and the provincial government may make it difficult to build the trust necessary to negotiate a new payment system, suggested MacLean. "We worked for a long time with the government of New Brunswick to get them to where we are today," he said. "If it weren't for the positive relationship we have with them, we could not do this."

FAMOUS CLIPPER CUTTY SARK, the FERREIRA 1922 Glass Plate
SKU: cuttysark Categories: Old Photos, Transportation History
ORIGINAL GLASS PLATE NEGATIVE BROADSIDE VIEW OF THE PORTUGESE BARQUENTINE FERREIRA, EX BRITISH FAMOUS CLIPPER CUTTY SARK PHOTO TAKEN AT A LONDON DOCK POSSILBLY ROTHERHITHE OR IN FALMOUTH 1922? She is one of the most famous ships in the world. On Monday, 22nd November 1869, a beautiful little clipper ship of 963 tons gross was launched at Dumbarton on the River Leven. On that day, she was given a name that was to become renowned throughout the seafaring world. Cutty Sark was built for John Jock Willis, a seasoned sailing ship master who had taken over his father's firm of ship owners in the port of London. Here he became better known as White Hat Willis because he always wore a white top hat. His ambition was for Cutty Sark to be the fastest ship in the annual race to bring home the first of the new seasons tea from China. The Cutty Sark is 280ft (85.4m) long overall and her beam measures 35ft (11m). Her moulded depth is 22.5ft (6.7m) and she weighs 963 tons (978.5 tonnes) gross. The height of the main mast from the main deck to the top is 152ft. This is the first of 8 voyages the ship successfully made to China in pursuit of tea. However, the Cutty Sark never became the fastest ship on the tea trade. Dogged by bad winds and misfortune, she never lived up to the high expectations of her owner during these years. The closest the ship came to winning the tea race was in 1872, when she had the opportunity to race the Thermopylae head-to-head for the first time. In July 1883, the Cutty Sark left Gravesend bound for Newcastle N.S.W, arriving in October. After loading 4289 bales of wool and 12 casks of tallow, she departed in December 1883 and arrived back in London in March 1884. Her return passage of 83 days was the best of the year, beating every ship sailing at about the same time by 25 days to over a month. This was a remarkable feat, considering that the Cutty Sark was now 14 years old, almost halfway through her expected working life of 30 years. As steam-ships moved further into the wool trade in the 1890s, the Cutty Sark began to make less money for her owner. After the ship returned to the UK from Brisbane in 1895, Jock Willis sold her to a Portuguese firm, J. Ferreira & Co. for £2,100. Woodget transferred to the Coldinghame, and the Cutty Sark left British ownership. After being sold to J. Ferreira & Co. Cutty Sark was renamed the Ferreira. Reminiscent of her days in the late 1870s and early 1880s, Ferreira tramped various cargoes mainly between Portugal and her empire, and was a regular visitor to Rio, New Orleans, Mozambique, Angola and the UK. In the twentieth century she traded regularly between Oporto, Rio, New Orleans and Lisbon, and her crew claimed she was still capable of doing sixteen knots. By January 1922 Ferreira ran into a Channel gale, and the captain put into Falmouth harbour to repair the damage. Wilfred Dowman, a retired windjammer skipper and owner of the training ship Lady of Avenel, saw the ship and set out to buy her. However, she returned to Lisbon without further mishap and was sold to a new Portuguese owner who changed her name to Maria do Amparo. But Dowman still wanted the ship, and at a price of £3,750 (more than what she was worth even in 1895) it was brought back to Falmouth. In 1923 her old name and nationality was restored; the Cutty Sark had returned to British ownership. After saving the Cutty Sark for the nation, Wilfred Dowman restored the ship to a close approximation of her appearance as a tea and wool clipper. This was a considerable feat, due to the shortage of necessary materials caused by the First World War. She was also the first historic vessel since Drake's Golden Hind in the sixteenth century to be opened to the public, and oral history interviews have revealed how boatmen used to take many visitors out to the ship.
The Cutty Sark was used as a cadet training ship, where half a dozen boys from different backgrounds would live on board and train for a career

Today I am feeling like Neo. Like I can see The Matrix. Tiny pieces of my life that seemed like isolated randomness, glitches, flukes, are now resurfacing as defining moments in the shaping of Me.
Every decision I've made has meaning. Every interaction with another soul is transformational. Every moment matters.
What kind of instrumental role will you play in someone else's life just by being you?

I feel loved. I am loved. And realizing just how much – especially recently – has lured tears from my eyes and brought me to my knees.
Social media is a curious thing. We feel so connected and aware of each other's lives…but appearances can be deceiving. We're allowed to dictate what parts of our lives we want our connections to see, while appearing genuine and honest. We have the illusion of intimacy but we're mostly scamming each other whether we mean to or not. We want to celebrate the good things – not even with the intent of bragging – just highlighting the positive, while minimizing – or completely ignoring the painful times, the struggles, the rawness of life.
If I were 100% vocal about my heartaches and woes, would anyone truly care? Perhaps – but the rest of you would react in other ways – pity; irritation; discomfort. The truth is, other people's pain makes us uncomfortable, and while we want to be honest, we really don't want to participate in anyone else's honesty #amiright.
My point is that even if I look like everything is fine and I have it all together, I don't.
Most days are better than others, this is true, and I'm grateful for those days. But overall I am miles from where I want to be. I'm hanging on by as many threads as I can possibly hold and doing the best I can with the resources I have.
I am loved. Openness and closeness with anyone is something I typically avoid like the plague. I prefer the illusion of closeness while keeping most people at arm's distance.
However, I've learned to be vulnerable (which is terrifying but beautiful) and for those of you that are in that inmost circle and have gone above and beyond and miles out of your way to help me escape, forget, relax, laugh, cry, and literally put food on the table, THANK YOU.
I am loved by you. And I love you too. You know who you are and I am desperately grateful for you and the way you have and continue to bless my life.
There's no way to express the depth of my gratitude. Just know that you are also loved dearly. It is a feeling beyond words to learn there are people – not necessarily related by blood – that can care so much for another person…that cannot turn their back on someone in anguish…that truly care about someone's well-being…that want to spend hours-days-space together no matter the time-lapse, cost, or distance.
You are my soul-friends, life-mates, my tribe, my family. You make the terrifying times less scary; the bumpy times less nauseating; the devastating times less impossible; the penniless times less hopeless; the dark times less endless.
Last night after drafting this and getting eyeballs deep into editing, my 7-year-old Acer netbook crashed. The poor thing usually has a daily dance on the grave but this one was irreversible.
I was devastated. My files. My work. My empty bank account that can't support its replacement. I was overwhelmed with grief. You can watch the snapchat version of my neurotic meltdown that spanned 7:30-11:30pm below. Seriously. The anguish of a computer crash mid-edit for a writer is ugly. UGLY.
But once I finally gave up on it and gave in to a complete overhaul, the most incredible thing happened.
I have the pleasure of being part of a personal brand study by a phenomenal woman I recently met at a networking/mentorship event.
As I spoke freely in a catharsis sort of way about my passions and life and work experience, she uncovered several patterns; one of them being an agent of change.
She then flattered me with a comparison to Scandal's Olivia Pope!
Apparently my hidden talent is precipitating change and restructuring organizations. And looking back, I have a very successful and convincing track record. I love it when I learn a new cool thing about myself.
Now if I could just figure out how to market myself as an agent of change and have people pay me millions to HANDLE IT… and have an amazing wardrobe like Liv's to match.


KARACHI: PIA attains operating profit of Rs 1.67 billion for the first quarter i.e. January 1 to March 31, 2014 as against a loss of Rs 5.65 billion of corresponding period of last year (2013).

← IMPD Northwest District Task Force Meeting – Wednesday, December 6th @ 6:00p.m.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) has created an "E-Commerce Exchange Zone" at each district headquarters and encourages community members to use the front parking lots or lobby (if available) when meeting people to complete their online purchases and transactions.
As more people conduct private business transactions online, there has been a nationwide increase in crime with respect to these transactions. Therefore, IMPD is taking a proactive approach to deter crime by creating an Online Purchase Safe Zone, or "E-Commerce Zone." In an attempt to reduce the likelihood of citizens falling victim to scams or more serious crimes; IMPD has designated the front parking lot or lobby (if available) as the Online Purchase Safety Zone. These areas are under 24-hour video surveillance.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is not reacting to any one specific incident, but rather taking a pro-active approach to provide a location where the citizens can feel safe meeting an unknown individual to conduct their private transaction.

Q: "(null)" wants to use "google.com" to sign in I am trying to use FirebaseUI to prompt a user for a login from an iOS share extension (as opposed to my main app). Everything is working fine, except when the user clicks "Sign in With Google" or "Sign in With Facebook", they get an alert that says: "(null)" wants to use "google.com" to Sign In:

This is only a problem in the share extension, not in the main app. How can I make the pop-up correctly display my app name in the share extension? I checked for differences between the .plist in the extension and the app, but could not find any obvious root cause there.
Code excerpt:
let authUI = FUIAuth.defaultAuthUI()
authUI?.delegate = self
authUI?.shouldAutoUpgradeAnonymousUsers = true
let providers: [FUIAuthProvider] = [
  FUIEmailAuth(),
  FUIGoogleAuth(),
  FUIFacebookAuth(),
]
authUI?.providers = providers
present(authUI!.authViewController(), animated: false, completion: nil)

What else do you need now that we have our Fitness Calendar printed and ready to go??
How about a list of healthy foods we can eat?
Here is a Beginners Healthy Meal Plan that I created with Jay Nash from Challenge Accepted, A Facebook group that she created to help other women on their fitness journey.
Neither her, nor I, are nutritionist but we put this together to get everyone started on the right path.
The foods here are what helped Jay loose some lbs and I added a few that I use as well.
I hope this list gets you started on a better eating habit.
Remember eating good is just as important, if not more, than exercising.
Combine this with some exercises and you are off to a great start.
You can add this Meal Plan to your Fitness Binder.
Here are options for binders , sheet protectors, & stickers you can use in your binder.
Click here for your printable Beginners Healthy Meal Plan .
Are there some healthy options you think I should add to the list?
I need to start eating healthier. This list is a good way for me to start thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for sharing good meal ideas.
Your Welcome, I hope it comes in handy for you.


Electrical repair services in Australia have an average price of $80/hr. The rates, however, may vary depending on the work being done. Simple electrical repairs usually start at $70/hr, while a more complex job costs about $88/hr.
All prices stated in this article are based on FY 2016 pricing data compiled by ServiceSeeking.com.au. The figures resulted from a comprehensive analysis of quotes submitted by Electricians on the site from July 2015 to July 2016.
She had the metre box in her rental property replaced.
Her old ceiling fan was noisy, so she needed to take them out and replace with a new one. The quote she received covered the supply and installation of a new ceiling fan as well as the replacement of the wall controller. However, it does not include wall patching or painting, which may be required due to the removal of the old wall controller.
Switch was part of a three-switch socket, and it was the only part that wasn't functioning. Lights were flickering and buzzing because of this, and they also failed to turn on.
Australians typically pay their sparkies around $152.16 for a standard electrical repair or routine maintenance job. However, if you need them for an emergency job or you need them to do certain tasks outside normal business hours, you will definitely be charged extra for that.
There are many variables that come into play when it comes to estimating the overall price of an electrical repair job. Labour costs vary depending on the sparkie's qualifications. A licensed electrician knows their worth and will charge according to their skill and level of expertise. Some tradies may offer to do the work for less but make sure that they are indeed licensed and insured to provide electrical repair services.
Be prepared to pay more for emergency electrical jobs as well. Sparks and burnt electrical smells need urgent attention as they can be potential fire hazards. Electricians who are available 24/7 charge a premium rate for work done on weekends, holidays, and after hours.
The size and scope of the job also affect the total amount that you need to pay. The longer it takes to finish the job, the more you'll have to pay since electricians often charge on an hourly basis.
Residents of New South Wales and Victoria are paying the lowest price for electrical repairs at approximately $70/hr. Meanwhile, Western Australian residents are paying the highest rates at around $90/hr.
Electrical repairs in the Australian Capital Territory and Queensland have almost the same average rate at $75/hr and $76/hr respectively. If you are in South Australia, be prepared to shell out about $80/hr when hiring electricians.
For your safety and peace of mind, getting a licensed and insured electrician is a must. You can check out ServiceSeeking.com.au for a list of reliable electricians in your area.

No Surprise: Minnesota Voted As Fan Favorite Host For Future NCAA Frozen Four Tournaments
Nick Cooper - TSM Duluth
A majority of college hockey fans nationwide seem to agree that the State of Hockey is the best place to host the NCAA Frozen Four. TheRinkLive.com conducted a fan poll recently, asking where the public would like to see a future Frozen Four held. Minnesota was the answer, and it wasn't particularly close.
Only a year removed from Minnesota's last Frozen Four hosting stint, college hockey fans around the country are apparently clamoring for more Minnesota hospitality. Of the 16 top options in the fan poll, only 5 options drew double-digit percentage points, and St. Paul led the pack by 8%.
TheRinkLive.com Poll Results (Top 5)
St. Paul, MN - 23%
Tampa, FL - 15%
Las Vegas, NV - 12% (tie)
Nashville, TN - 12% (tie)
Phoenix/Glendale, AZ - 11%

Officials with the Xcel Energy Center were elated to hear this news, with the Duluth News Tribune getting comments from the venue's VP and general Manager, Jack Larson. He told the DNT "We're honored and thrilled to hear that. We like to think that people want to be here for the Frozen Four. The stadium has been host to a number of high-profile hockey events, including NFL playoff games, NCAA conference tournaments, a couple Frozen Fours, and several Minnesota high school hockey tournaments.
The Xcel Energy Center has been host to three Frozen Four tournaments since it opened, and the prospect of future hosting opportunities should excite fans for a couple reasons.
The first, obviously, is the opportunity to see the best of the best in the college hockey world hitting the ice right here in the State of Hockey. Secondly, because every time the Frozen Four has been hosted at the Xcel Energy Center, a Minnesota team wins it all. The Gophers won in 2002 in a 4-3 OT game against Maine, while the Bulldogs won 3-2 in OT over Michigan in 2011 and again in 2018 in a 2-1 victory over Notre Dame.
While fans want to see the Frozen Four back in Minnesota once again, it will be at least a few years before that happens. After this year's destination being Buffalo, NY, Little Caesars Arena in Detroit will be the host in 2020, PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh in 2021, and TD Garden in Boston in 2022.
In all, Minnesota has hosted a total of 10 NCAA Men's Hockey championships, spanning all the way back to 1958. Two of those have been during the current 16-team tournament format that went into place in 2003. While most of them have been held in the Twin Cities, Duluth played host to two.

Lesley moved to Scotland several years ago from the North East of England where she had worked as a graphic designer and watercolour illustrator before taking a degree course in printmaking.
She now works professionally as an intaglio printmaker and oil painter where the two contrasting mediums give her alternative ways to portray the landscape. She loves the detail of a monochrome print but also the softness of colour that can be created using oils.
Her work is atmospheric and her more usual subjects are rocks, trees and the fantastic skies with the wonderful quality of light to be found in this part of Scotland.

Travelling and singing around Europe David and his wife Charmaine eventually settled in Scotland. He fell in love with the light and landscape of the North of Scotland and hoped to return some day with paints and brushes. Some thirty years later, having worked as a lecturer, broadcaster and illustrator, this ambition was fulfilled.
Recent paintings have concentrated on that magical space between land and sea revealed by the ever surprising and manipulating tide: pools of beautiful and subtle colouration, amber seaweed, gemlike stones and soft evening light which delights and deceives the eye. And just occasionally, a strange creature, a seemingly improbable result of survival of the fortuitous, appears.
Born in England into a family of artists, Naomi watched her grandparents paint both portraits and landscapes. Art has been a part of her life for as long as she can remember. She studied at Winchester school of Art for her foundation year, discovering a world of expression and sculpture. Then to Camberwell where she graduated in Fine art.
In awe of Quentin Blake's free and unique penmanship and the life-like skill of Chuck Close, Naomi's work has been described as a vibrant fusion of the two. Naomi has exhibited across the UK including Farnham Maltings and The Troubadour, Earl's Court. She has spent some time designing and painting sets for the theatre.
Trained as a Montessori she has worked as a teacher for many years. Recently relocated to Scotland with her husband and three children, Naomi is now heavily involved in her own commissioned portraiture work.
Tony Campbell graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee before becoming a teacher and lecturer. He admits that during his teaching career he had little time for his own painting.
Preferring to work outside, he works quickly to capture the fleeting nuances of light that create the colour, tone and mood of his work.
His work in the main is of coastal subjects on the Morayshire coast and at various locations on the west coast of Scotland where Arisaig, with the spectacular backdrop of the inner Hebrides and the mountains of Skye, is his favourite spot.
Ray Dyson's unique style allows his semi-abstract compositions to thrill with a vibrancy of colour and a geometrical harmony that echoes the ecology of nature in the landscapes he portrays.
A native of Moray, Ray has had a lifetime of experience studying the forms and textures of the local landscape to evolve his singular technique and style.
Neil is a member of the Guild of Aviation Artists and regularly exhibits at The Mall Galleries in London where he has twice won the Westland Trophy for rotary wing aircraft.
A self-taught artist, Neil focuses mainly on aviation. His work hangs in numerous UK and Commonwealth Service Establishments and private collections. Recently Neil, in conjunction with Elgin Gallery, has been pleased to support Morayvia in their successful effort to save a Sea King and return it to Morayshire.
A thirty-three year career in the RAF retiring as a Squadron Leader Air Electronics Officer has imbued Neil's aviation compositions with authenticity and life.
Neil's images are available as signed limited editions produced on neutral-ph 285 gsm matt fine art paper. They are also available to special order as larger canvas prints which are part of the limited edition number.

Singh, Mahavir (1994) Cogeneration in distribution system : planning, operation, transients. Research Master thesis, Victoria University of Technology.
This thesis relates to a study of abnormal conditions on a threephase distribution feeder of industry like State Electricity Commission of Victoria (SECV) with several loads and a capacitor bank. An induction generator, which plays the role of a dispersed storage and generation unit, driven by a hydraulic turbine, which is a common form of renewable energy scheme, is connected to the distribution feeder through a Δ/Y transformer. Transients caused switching of the induction generator, by single line-to-ground fault, double line-to-ground fault through contact resistances, broken conductor touching the ground through a small resistance, isolating the induction generator to form its own supply domain (islanding) etc are investigated and interesting conclusions of practical importance are derived. The IBM PC version 4 of the Electro-Magnetic-Transient Program - Alternative Transient Program (ATP), was used to solve this problem. The program also gives output results for automatic plotting in time domain. Accordingly, transient voltages at several nodes and transient currents at interesting points were plotted from the output results. Planning and operational aspects like voltage control, reliability, harmonics, earthing, and contractual matters between the private generator and the utility are also considered. Technical aspects interconnections between the private generation and the utility has been considered. Interesting conclusions, valuable for insulation co-ordination, interrupting duty on circuit breakers, effect on response of protective relays and automatic control systems are pointed out. It also considers security to personnel and protection of metering equipment. The thesis also offers guide for contractual matters between the utility and the private generation.

Als Spezialtiefbau werden Verfahren und Methoden bezeichnet, mit denen die mechanischen Eigenschaften des Baugrunds verbessert, Gebäudelasten auf tief liegende tragfähige Bodenschichten übertragen und Gründungen unter Grundwasser hergestellt werden. Es können mit diesen Verfahren u. a. auch Hänge und Geländesprünge gesichert und das Zu- oder Unterströmen von Grundwasser in und unter Bauwerken (Tunnelbauten, Staudämme, u. ä.) verhindert werden. Zur Planung von Spezialtiefbaumaßnahmen sind spezielle Kenntnisse/Erfahrungen in der Boden- und Felsmechanik erforderlich. Zu ihrer Ausführung werden in der Regel spezielle Maschinen eingesetzt, und die damit verbundenen  Ausführungsrisiken können nur durch besonders darauf spezialisierte Unternehmen beherrscht werden. Nicht nur kann das Produkt, also beispielsweise ein Düsenstrahlkörper oder ein Bohrpfahl, so tief im Baugrund liegen, dass eine direkte Prüfung der Abmessungen und der Funktionsfähigkeit nicht möglich ist, sondern sind in der Regel auch die inhomogene Zusammensetzung und die (i. d. R. auch anisotropen) Eigenschaften des Baugrundes (Lockerboden/Fels) nur unzureichend für die Wahl der Werkzeuge und die Einschätzung der erzielbaren Leistung (Einheiten/Zeit) im Voraus zu erkunden oder ausreichend zu beschreiben. Aufgrund der stetig fortschreitenden Entwicklung der Technik im Bauwesen lässt sich der Bereich des Spezialtiefbaus nicht immer klar vom allgemeinen Tiefbau abgrenzen.

Dem Spezialtiefbau werden etwa Verfahren/Techniken zur Erstellung von Bohrpfählen, Schlitzwänden, Schmalwand, Baugrundinjektion, Bodenvereisung, Bodenverdichtung mittels Rütteldruck- und Stopfverfahren, und Baugrubenwänden, Hochdruckinjektionsverfahren sowie Böschungs- und Hangsicherungsverfahren – insbesondere unter Verwendung von Verpressankern – zugerechnet.

Losing a loved one is a painful experience, so taking legal action may be the last thing on your mind as you grieve this loss. But unfortunately, many families are forced to hire an attorney to help them through the probate process and ensure their loved one's assets are distributed fairly.
Probate is the process by which the deceased's estate is settled and assets are distributed to the rightful heirs. This process may include identifying and gathering all of the deceased's assets, including bank accounts, real estate property, and more, paying the deceased's debts, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries.
Probate is necessary regardless of whether the deceased had a will or not. If there is a will, it must be submitted to the court in order to take effect. If there is no will, probate is required to ensure the deceased's assets are transferred to those who are entitled to them under state law.
What is a Probate Litigation Lawyer?
Many people believe probate lawyers and estate planning lawyers are the same, but this is not true. Families may need a probate litigation lawyer to assist them during the probate process if there are disputes over the estate. For example, family members have the right to challenge the validity of the will left behind by the deceased. This occurs when someone believes the deceased was forced to write the will or under duress when the will was written. A dispute can also arise if someone believes the terms of the will are contradictory or ambiguous.
Probate litigation lawyers can also assist when disputes arise over the executor or trustee of the estate. The surviving family members may believe the executor or trustee is embezzling funds from the deceased's estate or not making decisions that are in the best interests of the family.
If you plan on challenging the deceased's will or would like to have the executor or trustee removed from the estate, consult with a probate litigation attorney right away.
Sadly, many probate disputes arise due to allegations of elder abuse or exploitation. Many of these cases involve power of attorney issues. For example, someone may take advantage of an elderly individual and convince him to sign over power of attorney before his death. This manipulative person may then abuse his authority by embezzling money or assets. As a result, the beneficiaries will be left with very little after the elderly individual passes away.
In other cases, someone may force an elderly person to include him in the will by making physical or verbal threats. If the family can prove that the will was made under duress, it is not valid.
Elderly abuse and financial exploitation are far too common in the state of Florida. If you believe that your loved one was abused or exploited before he or she passed away, speak to our attorneys as soon as possible.

Gane's Silicone Spray is a combination adhesive repellant and lubricant. Use silicone spray wherever you don't want glue to adhere, or you want to reduce drag or friction. Silicone spray stops sticking, stays on the job and speeds operation in every department. Silicon Spray is a very effective product. Only a thin coat is required, and one application lasts many times longer than the best organic release agent. It even comes in convenient spray cans for ease of use.


For more than a decade now, I've listened to the debate about where the Macintosh user interface came from. Most people assume it came directly from Xerox, after Steve Jobs went to visit Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center). This "fact" is reported over and over, by people who don't know better (and also by people who should!). Unfortunately, it just isn't true – there are some similarities between the Apple interface and the various interfaces on Xerox systems, but the differences are substantial.
Orang-orang seringkali menggunakan kutipan "Good artists copy. Great artists steal" dari Steve Jobs sebagai bukti bahwa Apple tanpa malu-malu mencuri ide dari pesaing mereka. Tapi saya pikir artikel ini dengan sangat baik menceritakan sejarah awal pengembangan interface Macintosh..

OCAD Book Arts Show Triumphant!
There's an old joke that floats around the letterpress and book arts scene: "You never sell books at a book arts show!" It's not really a reflection of book arts shows, but rather the challenge of selling hand printed books in general. And this year I saw lots of books selling at the OCAD Book Arts Show, and even waved goodbye to a couple of my own. One of the things I love about the OCAD show is the very obvious presence of students exhibiting their work. It brings a raw freshness to the book arts, and I am always astonished at how many young artists are being attracted by old school books and printing.
The venue is quite striking as well, as I tried to caption in my first experiment with panoramic photographic stitching, early in the show. Crowds filled the hall for most of the day. (Click photos to make them larger).

OMG, that totally takes me back to the days where I used to be able to do a backbend!!! If I tried it now, I'd probably have to have my husband call 911.
I went to do a cartwheel and nearly tore my hamstring. The mind is willing, but the flesh is weak . . !


Step away from the squat machine and strengthen your entire leg on your mat.
It's no surprise that fitness videos and gym classes with titles like "Yoga Buns and Legs" place a heavy emphasis on the classic standing postures. Unlike weightlifting, which isolates particular muscle groups, yoga's standing postures efficiently and effectively strengthen the leg as an entire unit. In addition, yoga often strengthens and stretches the muscles in your legs simultaneously. When you're doing Virabhadrasana II (Warrior Pose II) to the right, for example, the quadriceps muscles of the right leg contract powerfully, the left quads firm, both inner thighs lengthen, and, in tighter students, the left calf receives a moderate stretch.
When done correctly, standing poses also strengthen the muscles that protect the knee and ankle joints and help you build a better foundation for your whole body. "They teach the muscles in your legs to hold your joints in proper alignment," explains Dario Fredrick, an exercise physiologist and Iyengar Yoga instructor in San Anselmo, California. By teaching you to properly plant your feet and align your knees and hips, standing poses improve your posture and coordination in everyday activities, not just during your time on the mat. As you learn proper alignment, you'll activate and strengthen the smaller, less-used, and often weak muscles in your arches, lower legs, and inner and outer thighs rather than relying solely on the larger leg muscles.
The exercises featured in this article—the Utkatasana Vinyasa (Chair Pose Sequence), the Utkatasana Padangusthasana Vinyasa (Chair Pose Tiptoe Balance Sequence), Virabhadrasana II, and Trikonasana (Triangle Pose)—collectively condition the fronts of the thighs, the backs of the thighs, the hips and buttocks, the inner and outer thighs, the lower legs, and the feet. Each one of them, however, conditions the legs in its own unique way.
Utkatasana vinyasa. Much like that old weightlifting standby, the squat, Utkatasana firms your quads and buttocks muscles. If you're aligned properly, you'll also balance the effort between each of the four quads and work the muscles of the outer thighs and hips—not to mention the abdomen and upper body. Proper alignment is crucial to getting the full benefits. Your inner and outer thighs must work in a balanced way to stabilize your knees directly in line with your feet; if your knees tend to collapse in or splay out, it's a sign that one muscle group is predominating and the other is weak. By keeping your knees in proper alignment, you're automatically working to improve your weaknesses.
The more you bend your knees, the more you'll work your legs and stretch your calves and Achilles tendons. When you move into Ardha (Half) Utkatasana, bending your legs even deeper and bringing the torso more parallel to the floor, and then add the torso twist of Parivrtta (Revolved) Ardha Utkatasana, you make both legs work even harder.
Utkatasana Padangusthasana vinyasa. This sequence combines upper leg work like that of Utkatasana with a strong activation of the calves—and tosses in the element of balance for an added challenge. Rising onto the balls of your feet, you engage the muscles in your feet and calves and use muscles all through your legs and upper body to make the constant minute adjustments needed for balance. As you squat, you continue to strengthen your feet and calves while amping up the work of the upper legs and buttocks. Although the exercise looks a bit like the calf raises you might do at the gym, it works and stretches your feet and legs more thoroughly.
Virabhadrasana II. In this pose, your forward leg works much like it does in the lunges you might perform in a floor exercise class at a gym. As you bend the forward knee, you'll probably feel the work most strongly in your quadriceps. But to lengthen the inner thigh of this leg and keep your knee aligned over your ankle and pointed toward your second toe, your front outer thigh and hip muscles must also contract. The gluteal muscles and the hamstrings will also firm, both as you hold the posture and as you rise out of it. And all of that activity is just what's going on in the forward leg!
Not surprisingly, beginning students tend to focus on the forward leg in Virabhadrasana II, but Fredrick points out that the rear leg gets as much of a workout when the pose is done correctly. If you properly activate that leg, grounding through the outer edge and big-toe ball of the foot and firming all the muscles toward the bones, you'll feel your arch and the inner edge of your leg lift and stabilize. Then, says Fredrick, "you'll be able to hold the posture longer. In other words, you'll receive even more of the pose's conditioning benefits.
Trikonasana. This pose strongly works the quadriceps, the muscles at the sides of the lower legs, and the muscles of the inner and outer thighs and hips. In Trikonasana, the actions of the muscles in both legs are quite a bit like those of the back leg in Virabhadrasana II. The quads need to engage strongly. The lower leg muscles must work to ground the feet evenly. And, as in the Utkatasana variations and Virabhadrasana II, you should keep the kneecaps of each leg pointing in the same direction as that leg's toes; for most people, that means lots of hard work for the muscles that externally rotate the thighs.
As with all standing poses, the more attention you pay to alignment, the more the pose will help you condition not just the major leg muscles but also the smaller muscles that contribute so much to subtle movements, balance, and coordination.
Try incorporating the Utkatasana series, the Tiptoe Balance, Virabhadrasana II, and Trikonasana into Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation). This flow sequence, developed by Karley York, a yoga instructor at Bally Total Fitness in Studio City, California, will slowly build your strength and endurance in each of the included standing postures.
Stand erect with your feet together in Tadasana (Mountain Pose). Exhaling, bend forward into Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend).

Gujarat Fortunegiants registered a resounding 45-27 win over Patna Pirates in a Pro Kabaddi Season 6 match to become the second team to qualify for the play-offs.
New Delhi: Gujarat Fortunegiants registered a resounding 45-27 win over Patna Pirates in a Pro Kabaddi Season 6 match to become the second team to qualify for the play-offs.
Parvesh Bhainswal produced a superb defensive show as he scored eight tackle points. Sachin and Prapanjan contributed nine raid points each to lead their team to victory.
For Pardeep Narwal, it was a day to forget as he scored just one tackle point and that cost the defending champions Patna Pirates dear.
Gujarat Fortunegiants made a strong start as they kept Pardeep Narwal quiet for the first five minutes and Sachin picked up a couple of raid points.
After five minutes Gujarat led 7-2 and were threatening to run away with the match. A super tackle in the next minute gave Patna Pirates a lifeline as they trailed 4-7.
Gujarat Fortunegiants inflicted an all out in eighth minute to open an eight-point lead of 13-5. It took Pardeep Narwal 10 minutes to open his account as Gujarat's defence had an excellent first half.
Another tackle point in the 20th minute gave Gujarat 20-12 lead at the end of the first half.
Gujarat further asserted their dominance as they inflicted another all out to lead 26-13 in the 23rd minute. Patna Pirates raiders just couldn't deal with the strong Gujarat defence and struggled to get raid points.
Manjeet scored with a raid point in the 32nd minute as Patna Pirates trailed 18-32.
It just was not Patna Pirates' night as their raiders could not get going. Their defence performed decently but it was never going to be enough.
Gujarat inflicted another all out in the last five minutes to register a resounding victory.

[Orion's Daily Ramblings] Kim Sun-ah Considering Drama by "Two Weeks" PD and "The Village: Achiara's Secret" Writer
Be still my heart, because I don't think I can handle this news. Actress Kim Sun-ah may be making a comeback in "Children of Nobody". The project, which sounds like a dark and gritty mystery, has given me three names I absolutely want to see together. Give this to me, Dramaland. Give this to me now.
"Children of Nobody" is the story of a woman, whose life suddenly falls apart due to an accident too sudden to prevent, becoming involved in several incidents as she searches for the truth. Kim Sun-ah is courted for this heroine, Cha Woo-kyeong. Woo-kyeong is a woman with a satisfying career, a caring and capable husband, a sweet daughter, and another child on the way. At the very peak of happiness, her life suffers a terrible blow.
While the actress has not confirmed her participation, I can't help but feel excited, considering the potential. Directing will be PD Choi Jeong-gyoo of dramas such as "Two Weeks" and "Splendid Politics", while writer Do Hyeon-jeong of "The Village: Achiara's Secret", "Can Love Become Money" and more is on the script. My little fan heart will just hold on to "Two Weeks" and "The Village: Achiara's Secret", because I need this hype.
"Children of Nobody", which is currently in the casting process, will feature 16 episodes split into two for commercials, making the total count 32. It will follow "Terius Behind Me" in November, on MBC. If the PD, writer and cast trifecta works out, you can be sure I'll pounce on this like there's no tomorrow.
