Today I woke up with the usual Monday morning blues. Exhausted from a hectic weekend and not ready to take on the world. Its amazing how an effective workout can change your whole outlook on the rest of week. Met up with Nev, after I dropped the kids at school for a 45 minute intensive abs, bum and arms burn. Im not going to lie it was hard work, but once your in the zone, nothing can beat it. As soon as your endorphins kick in you feel ready to take on the world again.
Not only does your body look better, from every angle. You mind is also focussed and your productivity levels go through the roof. My advice for Monday morning is start as you mean to go on, and this is the best start.
We started off with 5 minutes of lunges, leg lifts and resistance bands (which nearly killed me). After my bum couldn't take it any more we moved onto the arms.
8 Minutes of weights, working my biceps, triceps, shoulders and back. And all round killer. I felt instantly physically stronger after this superset of exercises.
To finish off an intensive ab work with a swiss ball, or rather tourture ball. This HURT. A good stretch to finish with a good looking trainer (thanks Nev) is the perfect finisher. I skipped out of the gym so much happier than when I walked in and was able to face the challenges of the week head on!

INTERVIEW: Loved every minute so far
Amy Nixon
Matt Young on the Dagenham game
Defender Matt Young spoke to us about the victory over Dagenham ahead of training on Monday morning.
"The result on Saturday was absolutely huge," he said. "It was a massive game for us after the week we'd had as a club. Everyone knew what the game meant and we were all buzzing to get the win.
"The performance against Accrington wasn't good enough. The gaffer said what he had to say and he was right, and we've all moved on from that now. We had a chat amongst ourselves and said what we needed to do. We did that at the weekend and we need to make sure we carry it on for the remaining four games.
"We obviously had a long chat after the Accrington game and then had a another chat as players during the week. We got everything off our chest and put it down to football. We knew we could perform and do what we had to, so it was just a case of showing that. We're all pleased we did.
"We all built the Saturday game up because we knew what it meant. We knew we needed a win and we needed to show a lot of character. The talent in the dressing room is unquestionable and it's just a case of putting that onto the pitch on a Saturday. We need to carry that on for the final four games."
On the arrival of Dave Atkinson, he said: "It's always good to have competition. It keeps everyone on their toes and I like a bit of a challenge. Dave came in and did well, he's played a few games and I obviously played at the weekend, so it's good to have healthy competition around the place.
"I don't think I'm a sulker when I'm not in the team. Not everything is going to be straightforward or the way you want it. You just have to accept that. When things are going against you and you aren't playing you have to get your head down and work hard to try and get back in the team."
"I thought I did well on Saturday but we had loads of great performers," he commented "Jason [Kennedy] picked the man of the match award up, and he was incredible, but it is nice to know I was in contention. It's nice to hear good things from the fans after a game but I've got four games where I need to do that again.
"We're obviously six points clear with these four games to go now. We're not mathematically safe but the three points were a big step towards that. We're under no illusions that the job is done and we've got to treat these matches like four cup finals.
"We're all mature and ugly enough to understand what these four games mean. We aren't safe and we won't be putting our feet up and thinking about our holidays until 5.15pm on the last day against Hartlepool."
On the heart-stopping ending to the game on Saturday, he said: "I didn't actually see the added time go up on Saturday because I was just concentrating on the game. I was trying to make sure we were all in focus, then they hit the bar and your heart is in your mouth. I can't really remember the final six minutes but it was the biggest buzz when we heard the final whistle.
"Dagenham came up here for a fight but we stood up to it, matched it and probably beat it. It showed we've got fight in the dressing room, we do care and we do want to work for the club.
"With the red card, I think Troy [Archibald-Henville] and their player were just having a bit of a cuddle on the floor. I don't think it was anything more than handbags and I think their lad actually started it in the build up to the corner with Danny [Grainger].
"I know it's a scrap, and it isn't what you want to see on a football pitch, but we had that team unity and we all backed each other up. I think everyone was just trying to resolve it in as much of an orderly manner as possible."
On his loan spell at Brunton Park, he said: "I've absolutely loved every minute of my time here so far. I've been here four months and played 16 times, so it's been absolutely brilliant. It was my first loan out and I've thrived off every minute of it. I've loved being involved in the dressing room and I've been learning all the time.
"This has been a fantastic club for me. I'm not too sure what the future holds for me yet so I'll just have to see what happens over the next few weeks. The manager, the lads and all of the staff around the club have welcomed me in and you never know what will happen in the summer."
And on Wednesday's trip to Burton, he said: "They've had a great season. I think, depending on how Bury get on on Tuesday, they can win promotion against us so they're still fighting for their own reasons. However, we've got a job to do as well.
"It will be a good game and it's one we're all looking forward to."

Movement is difficult. For me, it's like in one of those dreams where you feel like you're immersed in some kind of gelatinous fluid and it takes enormous effort to advance. And that's my everyday life.
Oh, here comes my brother. He's going to ask me to go golfing. What a joker.
I love golfing. It's one of my favourite past times. Nothing quite like getting out there on the links for a good walk.
1. One of the best unreliable characters I've ever read was in the book, Gone Girl. I won't spoil it by saying which character it was, in case you haven't read it. That novel made a lasting impression on me. Great stuff.

"There are very few books that successfully walk the fine line between information overload and gross oversimplification. Berkowitz's Clinical Pathophysiology Made Ridiculously Simple manages to pull it off admirably well and will be a welcome change for scores of overwhelmed medical students."
"If you read one book during your preclinical years, read this! I've yet to come across a more clear and concise introduction to clinical pathophysiology. This book is a solid foundation for medical, nursing, and pharmacy students who want to understand human disease and treatments from first principles. I recommend it to anyone who aspires to take great care of their patients."
"A thorough and insightful approach to basic pathophysiology, this book helps its readers develop a strong conceptual foundation of 'how' and 'why' disease happens, a skill that will far outlast memorization done for the boards and even provide a great review for residents and attending physicians."
"This is absolutely brilliant -- things have never been more clear. It's everything you were supposed to learn in 1st year but didn't quite get, and everything in 2nd year you need for the boards. This is the most clear, well organized review text for the boards I've every seen!"


This project began after the homeowners bought the property to begin building their dream house. To have the home they had always imagined, many outdoor living elements needed to be incorporated into their large landscape.
This full property landscape design and build took approximately three months to finish and in the last two years has truly flourished into a mecca of thriving plant life and fun entertainment.
In the front of the home, a circular driveway with Belgium block inlays was constructed to give the property an appealing grand entrance. Trees, shrubs, and flowers that will continue to mature, were planted along the driveway to create intrigue and more privacy from the road. Garden beds were designed to line the front of the home with welcoming greenery and seasonal flowers. A stone path was created between the driveway and the side of the home for easy access to points of egress.
In the backyard, a large bluestone dining terrace with custom outdoor kitchen and bar was constructed to comfortably entertain many guests. We included a full depth concrete footing. The cabinets were constructed out of cinderblock. The kitchen and bar were then veneered with natural stone to match the veneer stone found on the house for a customized look. The separate bar unit has a 42" raised bar countertop that allows for up to 6 seats.
A covered gunite pool was built with plenty of space to sit in the sun and relax. Custom stone retaining walls and pavers were designed to surround the pool area, giving it a feel of separation from the other outdoor entertainment areas in the yard.
Yearly plant maintenance has been done at this property since the completion of its landscape design and construction.
Belgium block was utilized for the driveway and parts of the retaining walls throughout the property. Stacked bluestone was also incorporated into the retaining wall design to give an aesthetically pleasing look of varied texture and materials.
Dimensional bluestone steps were used in the front and back of the home for durability and correlative look to other materials used throughout the project. Lynx stainless steel appliances were installed throughout the outdoor kitchen and bar area. The bar and kitchen countertops are granite. The appliances include sink, cocktail station, refrigerator, trash door, 42" gas grill, and access doors and drawers. GFI outlets are found throughout and custom low voltage lighting was mounted under the granite countertops.
Extensive low-voltage LED landscape lighting was placed in the front, sides and back of the home to produce safe walkways at night and to spotlight significant design pieces on the property. This included the row of trees lining the driveway, front foundation lighting, rear foundation lighting, and the lighting for the outdoor kitchen and pool.
To create privacy near the side and back of the home aluminum fencing and a greenscreen of evergreen trees and shrubs were put in place.


For 'security seekers' as we are, it was crucial that Malcolm took us step by step through the whole process. Without him and the team of Second Home Andalusia we had never dared to take this decision.
Our wishes were well interpreted and we had three potential homes to visit. We wanted a house in the campo, with a swimming pool and a plot of land that would also give us the feeling of peace and freedom but not too far away from the necessary facilities one might need. House number one we immediately thought was very nice, but the next day when we looked at house number 3, it was immediately clear!
Casa Flotante, as we named the Finca, is in the countryside outside the village of Canillas de Aceituno. From here in the evening we can see the sparkling lights of the village, which stands just below the natural park and the towering La Maroma. We have a beautiful garden with grape vines, olive and fruit trees and all kinds of flowers. The house is cosy and practical with two bedrooms, a bathroom in between and looks very spacious. The 'outdoor kitchen' was a pleasant surprise, and there are plenty of seats on the spacious terraces where you either can hide or seek for the sun.
We had often seen the tv program 'Places in the Sun' and watched the couples excitement as they viewed their properties but when you actually stand eye-to-eye with your 'dream home' then you really feel the butterflies in your stomach.
And then you go into the next phase. There are quite a lot of things to consider when buying a house in Spain, and initially we were a little daunted by the prospect. You buy something in another country where different rules apply and checks have to be made regarding the legality of buildings/pool, is there debt or arrears on the property and so on but it all went smoothly and quickly as we were in touch with the right people. Lawyer, notary, insurance, banking, management and maintenance, you name it .... everything was brought to us. A very pleasant experience.
Although our retirement is still far away, we have nevertheless taken the interesting step to buy a home in Spain. We have worked hard to make it 'our finca' and we will enjoy visiting as much as we can. To permanently reside in Spain maybe an option for the future , but for now we have decided to rent and it is great that Second Home Andalusia has advised us on this and organized the cleaning and maintenance required for our rentals.
The team from Second Home Andalusia 'takes care of everything' while we relax, sitting in the Netherlands and looking forward to our next trip to our home in Andalusia.

Spotted Owl litigation has led to substantial fluctuations in Pacific Northwest public timber availability from 1987 to the present. A theoretical and two distinct empirical models using monthly data are developed to understand and test the potential of this litigation to affect the national market for lumber. The results of an econometric framework indicate that Northwest public timber fluctuations have affected the Northwest lumber industry, but provide no evidence that the effects are felt in other regions of the United States. A time-series approach indicates that the Northwest lumber market is affected by these timber fluctuations, and that regional lumber markets are interdependent, but again, there is no direct evidence that Northwest public timber fluctuations have affected the lumber markets of other regions. Using each of these empirical frameworks, intervention analysis is performed to test the significance of individual litigation events on regional lumber markets. Econometric-model intervention results provide no evidence to suggest that individual litigation events have influenced these markets, but time-series intervention results suggest that lumber prices may have been influenced by some of the litigation in question.

2021 Coastal Resilience Grants
Jun 1, 2021 | Stories
Via the NH Department of Environmental Services
Coastal Program Announces
2021 Request for Proposals for New Hampshire Coastal Resilience Grants
PORTSMOUTH – The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) Coastal Program is soliciting 2021 Coastal Resilience Grant (CRG) applications for coastal community and habitat resilience projects. For the purposes of the CRG opportunity, "coastal resilience" is the capacity of a coastal community or coastal system to thrive in a changing climate – not only measured by the capacity to bounce back quickly from shocks and stresses like storms, but also, and perhaps more importantly, measured by the capacity to leap forward to create new ways of working that enable sustained achievement of community goals and social, economic, and environmental well-being over the long-term.
The CRG funding opportunity supports (i) projects that build neighborhood, grassroots, or municipal capacity for coastal resilience work; (ii) projects that integrate the 2020 NH Coastal Flood Risk Guidance into local plans and regulations, and (iii) projects that seek to increase resilience of site-specific physical assets.
Eligible applicants include coastal municipalities, quasi-governmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, and state agencies. Projects must take place within one or more of the 17 Coastal Zone communities1. Total anticipated federal funding available for 2021 NH Coastal Resilience grant projects is $120,000. Applicants must request a minimum of $10,000 and no more than $40,000 per project. A ratio of 4:1 federal grant funds to non-federal match through cash or in-kind services is required. Funds are made available to the NHDES Coastal Program through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management, under the Coastal Zone Management Act.
For instructions, evaluation criteria, and to access the Application Form, visit the Coastal Resilience Grant webpage. Applications must be submitted using the NHDES Application Form no later than 4:00 PM EDT on Friday, July 30, 2021. An informational webinar about the CRG funding opportunity will take place on Thursday, June 3, 2021 from 9:30 to 10:30 AM EDT. Those interested can register for the webinar in advance. A recording of the webinar will be made available on the CRG webpage for those who are unable to attend.
This funding opportunity marks the sixth year that the NHDES Coastal Program has offered competitive grant funds for coastal resilience projects. Between 2014 and 2020, 19 projects were funded throughout the New Hampshire coast totaling more than $850,000 in federal grant funds and more than $400,000 in match commitment from grantees. Projects previously funded by the CRG opportunity are summarized on the CRG webpage.
Please contact NHDES Coastal Program Resilience Coordinator Kirsten Howard at (603) 559-0020 or kirsten.b.howard@des.nh.gov with inquiries about the 2021 request for proposals.
1 Coastal Zone communities include Dover, Durham, Exeter, Greenland, Hampton, Hampton Falls, Madbury, New Castle, Newfields, Newington, Newmarket, North Hampton, Portsmouth, Rollinsford, Rye, Seabrook and Stratham.

15 Years Ago, Jay-Z Made A Shrewd Business Move That Has Earned Him Millions
By Joey Held on October 17, 2019 in Articles › Music News
Even if you're not a hip hop fan, you know Jay-Z. The rap mogul is one of the most successful names in the industry. Beyond his own music, he's been involved in several successful business ventures, including serving as part-owner of the Brooklyn Nets. He's also married to Beyonce, but that's not the point of this article.
The point is, both Jay-Z's tunes and business acumen have helped make him incredibly wealthy. More than a decade ago, he made moves combining his music and business that are paying off big time today.
Back in 2004, Jay-Z was about to become the president of Def Jam Records. He had already recorded seven albums with the label; he'd ultimately drop nine records on Def Jam.
Normally, when an artist releases a record on a major label, they give up their rights to the master recordings. In exchange, they get a cash advance, a percentage of sales (usually 10 to 15 percent), and the thrill of recording a major album.
Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images
Whoever owns the masters tend to profit nicely. They make the majority of money from any album or digital download, and they get a good chunk of change from streaming services, too.
By the time Jay-Z was set to become Def Jam's president, though, he'd already released several hit records. And thanks to some shrewd negotiating, he was able to re-obtain the masters. Coupled with a salary of just under $10 million, Jay-Z was living large.
Around that same time, Jay-Z also negotiated a deal with EMI. That deal returned his publishing rights to him. Every time, say, a TV show or movie uses a Jay-Z song, or an artist samples one of his tracks, he makes money.
The EMI deal didn't take effect until 2013, and the Def Jam masters weren't returned to Jay-Z until 2014. Still, he had some incredible foresight to negotiate for them.
His music catalog alone is worth $75 million. Jay-Z's music receives nearly a billion streams every year. Though he recently removed his songs from Spotify to drive customers to his own Tidal streaming service, he's still doing quite well for himself.
Not many artists get to keep their masters. Then again, not many artists are as successful as Jay-Z. His business knowledge is a key element to his empire.

The Argentine reportedly fears Ozil's arrival on a mega wage would disrupt the harmony in dressing room.
Meanwhile, Arsenal legend Martin Keown believes Messi and Suarez would be delighted with the signing of Ozil.
"I don't think he would be a bad signing," he said.

Man falls down in the midst of My light, and stands fast because of My salvation. When I bring salvation to the entire universe, man tries to find ways to enter among the flow of My restoration, yet there are many who are washed away without trace by this torrent of restoration; there are many who are drowned and engulfed by the torrential waters; and there are many, too, who stand fast amid the torrent, who have never lost their sense of direction, and who have thus followed the torrent until today. I advance in step with man, yet still, man has never known Me; he knows only the clothes that I wear on the outside, but is ignorant of the riches hidden within Me. Though I provide to man and give to him each day, he is incapable of true acceptance, is unable to receive all the riches given by Me. Nothing of man's corruption escapes My notice; to Me, his inner world is as clear as the bright moon on the water. I do not treat man in a slipshod manner, nor go through the motions with him; it is just that man is unable to take responsibility for himself, and thus the whole of mankind has always been depraved, and even today remains incapable of extricating itself from such depravity. Poor, pitiable mankind! Why is it that man loves Me, but is unable to follow the intentions of My Spirit? Have I really not revealed Myself to mankind? Has mankind really never seen My face? Could it be that I have shown too little mercy toward mankind? O the rebels of all mankind! They must be crushed beneath My feet; they must vanish amid My chastisement, and they must, on the day on which My great enterprise is completed, be cast out from among mankind, so that the whole of mankind knows their ugly face. The fact that man rarely sees My face or hears My voice is because the whole world is too turbid, and its clamor is too great, and thus man is too lazy to search for My face and to try to understand My heart. Is this not the cause of man's corruption? Is this not why man is in need? The whole of mankind has always been among My provision; if it were not so, if I were not merciful, who would have survived until today? The riches in Me are without equal, yet all disaster is also held within My hands—and who is able to escape from disaster whenever they please? Do the prayers of man, or the weeping within his heart allow him to do so? Man has never truly prayed to Me, and so among all of mankind, no one has ever lived their entire life amid the light of truth; people only live in light that flickers fitfully in and out of appearance. It is this that has led to mankind's deficiency today.
Everyone is chomping at the bit, willing to go all out for Me in order to get something from Me, and so, in keeping with man's psychology, I give him promises to inspire true love in him. Is it really man's true love that gives him strength? Is it man's loyalty to Me that has moved My Spirit in heaven? Heaven has never been the slightest bit affected by the actions of man, and if My treatment of man were based on his every action, then the whole of mankind would live amid My chastisement. I have seen many people with tears coursing down their cheeks, and I have seen many people offer up their hearts in exchange for My riches. Despite such "piousness," I have never freely given My all to man as a result of his sudden urges, for man has never been gladly willing to devote himself before Me. I have plucked off the masks of all people and thrown these masks into the lake of fire, and as a result, man's supposed loyalty and pleas have never held firm before Me. Man is like a cloud in the sky: When the wind howls, he fears the mightiness of its force and so floats hurriedly after it, deeply fearful that he will be struck down for his disobedience. Is this not the ugly face of man? Is this not the so-called obedience of man? Is this not the "true feeling" and phony goodwill of man? Many people refuse to be convinced by all the utterances that issue from My mouth, and many do not accept My evaluation, and hence their words and actions betray their rebellious intentions. Is what I speak of contrary to the old nature of man? Have I not given man a fitting definition according to the "laws of nature"? Man does not truly obey Me; if he truly searched for Me, I would not have to say so much. Man is worthless trash, and I must use My chastisement to force him onward; if I did not do so, how—even though the promises I give him are sufficient for his enjoyment—could his heart be moved? Man has always lived amid painful struggle for many years; he has, it can be said, always lived in despair. As a result, he has been left despondent, and physically and mentally exhausted, and so he does not joyfully accept the riches that I give him. Even today, no one is able to accept all the sweetness of the spirit from Me. People can only remain poor, and await the last day.
Many people wish to truly love Me, but because their hearts are not their own, they have no control over themselves; many people truly love Me as they experience the trials given by Me, yet they are incapable of grasping that I really exist, and merely love Me in emptiness, and not because of My actual existence; many people lay their hearts before Me and then pay no attention to their hearts, and thus their hearts are snatched away by Satan whenever it gets the chance, and then they leave Me; many people genuinely love Me when I provide My words, yet do not cherish My words in their spirits, instead casually using them like public property and tossing them back to where they came from whenever they feel like it. Man searches for Me amidst pain, and he looks unto Me among trials. During times of peace he enjoys Me, when in peril he denies Me, when he is busy he forgets Me, and when he is idle he goes through the motions for Me—yet never has anyone loved Me throughout their whole life. I wish for man to be earnest before Me: I do not ask that he give Me anything, but only that all people take Me seriously, that, instead of wheedling Me, they allow Me to bring back the sincerity of man. My enlightenment, illumination, and the cost of My efforts pervade all people, yet so too does the true fact of man's every action pervade all people, as does their deception of Me. It is as if the ingredients of man's deception have been with him since the womb, as if he has possessed these special skills of trickery since birth. Furthermore, he has never given the game away; no one has ever seen through to the source of these deceitful skills. As a result, man lives amid deception without realizing it, and it is as if he forgives himself, as if it is the arrangements of God rather than his deliberate deception of Me. Is this not the very source of man's deception of Me? Is this not his cunning scheme? Never have I been befuddled by the blandishments and chicanery of man, for I figured out his substance long ago. Who knows how much impurity is in his blood, and how much of Satan's venom is within his marrow? Man grows more accustomed to it with each passing day, such that he does not feel the harm done by Satan, and thus has no interest in finding out the "art of a healthy existence."
When man is distant from Me, and when he tests Me, I hide Myself from him among the clouds. As a result, he is unable to find any trace of Me, and lives only by the hand of the wicked, doing all that they ask. When man is close to Me, I appear to him and I do not hide My face from him, and at this time, man sees My kind countenance. He suddenly comes to his senses, and though he does not realize it, in him is born love for Me. In his heart, he suddenly feels an incomparable sweetness, and wonders how he could not have known of My existence in the universe. Thus man has a greater sense of My loveliness, and, moreover, of My preciousness. As a result, he wishes to never leave Me again, he sees Me as the light of his survival, and, deeply fearful that I will leave him, he hugs Me tight. I am not moved by man's zeal, but am merciful to him because of his love. At this time, man instantly lives amid My trials. My face disappears from his heart, and he immediately feels that his life is empty, and his thoughts turn to escaping. At this moment, man's heart is laid bare. He does not embrace Me because of My disposition, but asks that I protect him because of My love. Yet when My love hits back at man, he immediately changes his mind; he tears up his covenant with Me and breaks away from My judgment, unwilling to look upon My merciful face ever again, and so he changes his view of Me, and says that I have never saved man. Does true love really involve nothing but mercy? Does man only love Me if he lives beneath My shining light? He looks back to yesterday but lives in today—is this not the human condition? Will you really still be like this tomorrow? What I want is for man to have a heart that yearns for Me in its very depths, not one that satisfies Me with superficialities.

Needs Assessment: Human Trafficking in the Western Balkans (Albanian)
In September 2013, through the support of the IOM Development Fund, a seven-month needs assessment on the human trafficking situation in the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina [BiH], UNSC resolution 1244-administered Kosovo, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia) was commissioned . The purpose was to collect and summarize stakeholder views of the mechanisms and resources available to combat TIP in the region. The assessment sought to identify key gaps related to the identification, referral, assistance and support for trafficked persons. Stakeholders were also asked for their recommendations on how to strengthen existing responses, correct inappropriate processes, and rectify fundamental gaps in regional counter-trafficking resources.
The primary focus on the prompt and accurate identification of cases of trafficking and their appropriate treatment suggests how fundamental these steps are to any effective response to TIP. Without proper identification of cases, it is not possible to identify, apprehend and prosecute trafficking networks, nor to generate the data required to inform prevention activities and improve policy responses. Without appropriate referral and support for all persons who experience trafficking and exploitation, it is not possible to have a comprehensive response to trafficking. As such, the needs assessment focused on these two key components of trafficking responses in the region.
The needs assessment involved six primary steps: (1) a desk review consisting of collection, coding and analysis of documents identified and requested by IOM and supplemented by the research team; (2) development of two tools for identification of stakeholders and their roles to include in the needs assessment; (3) interviews with 37 identified stakeholders in-person and by telephone; (4) an online survey of regional, sub-regional and extra-regional IOM staff and other stakeholders (yielding 99 out of 135 completions for a response rate of 73%); (5) analysis and triangulation of all data sources using a structured coding scheme to develop findings and initial recommendations; and (6) presentation and correction/validation of study findings and recommendations at a stakeholders workshop.
The needs assessment identified a total of 20 primary findings that focus on the issues (1) most frequently cited by informants, respondents and in documents; (2) to which informants, respondents and documents devoted the most time or space discussing; and (3) that were most often identified as salient across respondent types and sub-regional/regional documents. The research team grouped the findings under the following five key areas: (1) emerging trends in TIP; (2) identification and referral; (3) support available to people who have experienced trafficking; (4) cooperation among counter-TIP actors; and (5) gaps in identification, referral and protection programmes.
The recommendations following from stakeholder views and these findings seek to address the primary gaps and priorities identified at the regional level. They reflect the suggestions made by interviewed informants and survey respondents, as well as discussed and validated at the stakeholder workshop. Not all recommendations are equally relevant to each site. There are 15 consecutively numbered recommendations ordered by topic. Additionally, country-level recommendations and priorities for action are included in the recommendations section of the report (Section 5).

A House on the Bayou Ending Explained (Spoilers)
Horrorific content by all-horror on September 15th, 2022 | Spoiler | Supernatural, Cabin in the Woods, Thriller, Mystery, Haunted House, Dysfunctional Family, Isolation
Add to your Watchlist
Follows a troubled couple and their daughter who go on vacation to an isolated house in the Louisiana bayou to reconnect as a family. But when unexpected visitors arrive, the unity starts to unravel.
A House on the Bayou: Spoilers Below
In A House on the Bayou, Chambers is a professor cheating on his wife with one of his students. One day, Jessica, his wife, finds out and confronts him about it. John admits to Jessica that he was the one who cheated on her. Jessica shows him the evidence, and he doesn't deny it. However, Jessica doesn't want the relationship to end for their daughter's sake.
The couple has decided to go on vacation to the house in the Bayou. However, the house owner is also a real estate agent and decides to use her as a subject for a film he is making. This is an ominous tone, as the couple may be in for more than they bargained for. First, the couple walked up to the big, spooky house and immediately felt weird. Then, bizarre things started happening, and they couldn't explain it.
The reconciliation plan never goes because they're both still mad at each other. But their daughter befriends a boy named Isaac while she's out with her father. Then, John receives a note from a mysterious older man who claims to have been observing him in the house. The older man's tone is ominous, and he warns John that something terrible will happen.
As the father and daughter duo arrived at the house, Jessica began to get mad at John for not bringing the veal. Suddenly, a knock came at their door. Their neighbor, Isaac, invited Jessica over to her house for veal. As Isaac arrives at her home, her grandmother also arrives, starting a chain of events.
What was Isaac's real identity?
John didn't want to leave Vivienne or Jessica, but he knew he had to choose. So he hired a professional killer to take care of his wife. He thought Isaac was a hitman, but he didn't know that Isaac was the Devil.
Isaac believed he was a judge who metes out punishment to people according to their crimes. He reasoned that John must have committed the grave sin of adultery and plotted to murder his wife. The house was where he would administer his brand of justice.
John's true intentions with Vivienne were revealed to Jessica by Isaac. John was then locked in an empty room by Isaac, who left him with the Coyote. The Coyote devoured John. John's punishment was not over. He continued to torment those around him.
He took Vivienne into the house and forced Jessica to burn her in the car. Her helpless wife couldn't do anything else. But, losing her husband was only the beginning of her troubles. Now she had to fight for her own life and that of her daughter.

Is the Devil real?
If Isaac is right about his beliefs, then Jessica believes that God will ensure his survival after she shoots him. Isaac had told Jessica about how he and his grandfather would bring sinners into their house to punish them. So Jessica fled the scene along with her daughter.
The following day, Jessica went to the police station to follow up on the abandoned house she had seen the night before. However, when they arrived at the address, no home was found. The officer explained to Jessica that the house she had seen was not a physical house but a manifestation of Isaac, a spirit who punishes sinners. The police let Isaac do what he wanted because they were getting rid of the evil people.
The bleeding from Anna's nose in the final scene suggests that Isaac, likely a demon, was present. However, his exact nature is unexplained, leaving it up to the viewers to decide whether he is a demon or just an average human.

Imagine living at the turn of the twentieth century and waging a personal fight for the equality of your gender. Clara Driscoll, the director of the Women's Glass Department at the Tiffany Studios, did just that. Clara was an artist first and foremost, and she worked closely with company head Louis Tiffany (son of the founder of the famed jewelry chain) to develop the intricate glass windows and lamp shades used as ornamentation in upper class homes at the time.
But Clara also believed wholeheartedly in the advancement of women, in giving them a fair shot at equality, and she didn't hesitate to go toe to toe with upper management when they resisted the change. Clara's art and her deep belief in women's rights are the subject of the novel Clara and Mr. Tiffany, based on the life of Driscoll and her work for Tiffany.
Written by Susan Vreeland, Clara and Mr. Tiffany is a fascinating look at life in New York City just as it was coming into its own as The Big Apple. Against the backdrop of the city's progress, the book begins with Clara Driscoll returning to work for Mr. Tiffany after a forced resignation. Mr. Tiffany doesn't permit married women to work for him, and following the death of her husband, Francis, Clara comes back to what she knows best: her art and intimate working relationship with Mr. Tiffany.
For anyone who has ever heard of Tiffany glass or Tiffany lamps, this book will certainly delight. Author Vreeland goes into intricate detail about the painstaking work required to make these beautiful accessories but she manages to keep from overwhelming her readers, which is difficult with something so labor-intensive as these lamps and windows. Vreeland's pleasant writing style paints vivid pictures of Clara's life, her awe and excitement in her work rivaling only that of the developing city around her.
While Vreeland did take some creative license with Clara's actual story, those liberties enhance the story and make one wish more information of that time period and the work of Clara and the "Tiffany girls" had survived. It's not obvious in the book, but Clara reportedly wrote long letters to family members talking about her invention of the lamp shades. Discovery of the letters in 2007 changed completely the original notion that Tiffany had been the creative force behind the creation of the lamps, and more than a hundred years after she left the studio Clara Driscoll finally got the full credit she deserved for her artistic vision.
The book has a slightly meandering feel to it; Vreeland takes her time to develop the story, told in first-person through Clara's voice, so readers may get the slightest bit impatient at one point or another. Despite the country-stroll feel of it, however, Clara's story reminds us of a truly exciting time in our history as she witnesses such firsts as the first subway ride and a chance encounter with O. Henry. While it's not clear whether the real Clara Driscoll ever experienced such things, one can easily forgive Vreeland for any creative license here. She gets the feel of the era just right, and readers won't mind the fudging of the facts in these instances.
I highly recommend Clara and Mr. Tiffany to anyone who enjoys historical fiction. The bonus with Clara and Mr. Tiffany, however, comes in knowing this particular book is a true story, and is more enjoyable because of it.


Mavis Discount Tire has rolled up another Atlanta auto service deal with the acquisition of Dekalb Tire.
A Mavis spokesperson couldn't be reached immediately for comment on the acquisition, which a source tells Atlanta Business Chronicle closed just days ago. But it's the second big deal in Atlanta recently for New York-based Mavis, which back in January acquired Kauffman Tire Inc.'s 69 retail locations across Georgia and Florida.


Can Your Business Afford the Cost of Workplace Violence?
The recent San Bernardino, California shooting incident is a startling reminder of the escalating violence at businesses. Fourteen deaths and a $58 million lawsuit are just the beginning of the reaction to this event.
Workplace violence is something all businesses should assess and have a plan to address.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 13,827 workplace homicide victims from 1992 to 2010 – which is about two per day.
Over 1,500 nonviolent crimes occurred every day at workplaces in 2009, according to the Bureau of Justice. Although these alarming statistics are likely to increase, most businesses do not have a proactive plan on how to prevent or address such an incident.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines Workplace violence as an act or threat of physical violence, harassment, intimidation or other threatening disruptive behavior that occurs at the worksite – and reported cases of workplace violence continue to rise. OSHA now averages over 2 million reported cases of violence each year. It's estimated that businesses in the United States have an economic cost of over $170 billion as a result of workplace violence.
The statistics are staggering, and the problem continues to worsen.
Businesses, managers and employees need to be trained on how to recognize the early stages of behavior in co-workers that may lead to some types of workplace violence.
Knowing your co-workers and being able to identify changes in their behavior enables a business to provide early intervention. Establishing reporting procedures for employees and supervisors also helps with early detection.
Several other techniques have proven successful in establishing standards around behavior, such as conducting background checks. When hiring new employees, review all of the information to determine if the employee has a history of violence or threats. This is where that zero-tolerance policy for any type of violence, including verbal abuse or harassment will really come in handy. This type of behavior should be immediately addressed with disciplinary consequences, possibly including termination.
Be sure to follow the guidelines for your background check to ensure your path of discovery and employment decisions protect your company from future legal entanglements.
Your zero-tolerance policy should be spelled out during employee orientation, in the employee handbook and during ongoing training.
Creating a process for reporting and monitoring employees displaying dangerous or suspect behaviors is also important.
Physical security and safeguards are another essential factor.
This includes locking appropriate doors, analyzing security procedures and developing consistent standards. Employers may be sued for negligence if they were aware of but did not address a potentially dangerous situation.
It comes back to the fact that the employer is responsible for creating a safe environment.
Your Business Can Be Responsible!
A case of Relationship Violence in the Workplace in Missouri demonstrates the practical and legal challenges many employers face in today's environment. On Nov. 20, 2012, an employee was shot by her estranged boyfriend as she walked to her vehicle in the work parking lot. Due to previous criminal activity in and around the parking lot, a Jackson County jury awarded a $3.25 million judgment against the employer. Another factor in the judgment was that the employee had reported concerns about her boyfriend to human resources prior to the incident.
All businesses should assess their risk, develop a plan, provide ongoing training, practice their plan and determine if additional insurance is appropriate.
Our world is changing; be proactive in approaching this emerging risk.

Is Mobile TeleSystems OJSC's estimated NPS of -2 considered to be good?
Consider an example: If Mobile TeleSystems OJSC sends out NPS surveys immediately after purchase, they are tracking their customers' initial excitement and the checkout experience.
Therefore, comparing the NPS score of Mobile TeleSystems OJSC with your own without any further context is not that useful.

В ході процесу Ентоні Кін закохується в Анну і готовий піти на що завгодно, лише б їй винесли виправдувальний вирок. Кін вирішує спробувати побудувати захист на тому, щоб відвести звинувачення від його клієнтки, звернувши увагу на дивну поведінку слуги Парадайна Андре Латура. Опитування свідка з пристрастю закінчується тим, що Андре після засідання суду закінчує життя самогубством.

Costumed Runners Rule Star Wars Half Marathon at Disneyland Resort
Dave Parfitt
– January 18, 2016Posted in: California, Destinations, Family Travel, North America, Running Getaways, Travel Type, United States
"There's been an awakening…" Seriously, you have to wake up early for the start of a runDisney race, but the costumed participants of the Star Wars Half Marathon didn't seem to mind. More than 30,000 competed in one of the races during the four-day Star Wars Half Marathon weekend at Disneyland, with Nick Arciniaga and Annie Bersagel crossing the line first for the men and women in the Star Wars Half Marathon. Continue reading for more photos and news from the event.

From runDisney's Press Release
The Force was with Fountain Valley, CA, native Nick Arciniaga once again in the Star Wars Half Marathon at Disneyland Resort Sunday. After winning the inaugural Star Wars Half Marathon in 2015, he followed up with second straight victory in a record-setting time of 1:05:49.
Nick Arciniaga, 32, repeats as the winner of the Star Wars Half Marathon presented by Sierra Nevada Corporation at Disneyland Resort Sunday, January 17. Image courtesy Disneyland Resort.
Arciniaga, 32, who now lives in Flagstaff, AZ, blasted past First Order stormtroopers to break the tape at the finish line. Adam Roach of Pebble Beach, CA, was second (1:12:29) and Hunter Sapienza of Seattle, WA, was third (1:12:38).
"This is a race that means a lot to me," Arciniaga said of the victory. "I've been a Star Wars fan ever since I can remember." Arciniaga goes on to compete in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials Marathon in the upcoming weeks.
Annie Bersagel, 32, of Colorado, also flew at lightspeed across the finish line Sunday as the female winner with a time of 1:15:09. Bersagel is also set to compete in the upcoming U.S. Olympic Team Trials Marathon. Second-place female finisher was 2015 Star Wars Half Marathon female winner, Jennifer Berry, of Denver, CO (1:21:11) and third-place finisher was Kendal Sager of Los Altos, CA (1:25:05).

"I was the fastest stormtrooper out here today," Bersagel joked after her win, clad in Star Wars-inspired running gear. "So that's all you can really ask for, right?"
Arciniaga and Bersagel jumped to hyperspace to outrun more than 14,000 athletes in the 13.1-mile intergalactic journey through Disneyland Resort and Anaheim area streets, where a variety of Disney entertainment, including Star Wars characters, cheered on runners at every mile.
The Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend included several family-friendly events, including a three-day Health and Fitness Expo with the latest in fitness apparel, running gear and high tech gadgets. It was the second runDisney race weekend of 2016 and the first this year at Disneyland Resort. The event offered athletes a variety of race experiences for all levels, from Padawans to Jedi Masters – the runDisney Kids Races, the Star Wars 5K, the Star Wars 10K and the Star Wars Half Marathon.

The ultimate test for Star Wars rebels was the Star Wars Rebel Challenge – a two-race challenge that combined the Star Wars 10K on Saturday with the Star Wars Half Marathon on Sunday. Jedi runners who finished the 19.3-mile challenge earned a special Star Wars Rebel Challenge finisher medal in addition to medals for the 10K and half marathon.

Runners who successfully completed the Star Wars Half Marathon in Disneyland now have the opportunity to travel to Florida in April for the inaugural Walt Disney World Star Wars Half Marathon. Completing both runDisney Star Wars Half Marathons satisfies the Kessel Run Challenge where runners earn a commemorative "Coast to Coast" medal inspired by the Millennium Falcon starship.
