HMRC To Accept COVID-19 As A 'Reasonable Excuse' For Filing Self-Assessment Returns Late
by Liz Seyi Digital marketing manager
The New Year means many things to many people, but one thing it should certainly mean for millions of people in the UK is the completion of a timely self-assessment tax return.
The coronavirus crisis, however, may have complicated your efforts to submit your 2019 to 2020 return by the 31st January deadline. It might therefore be a source of reassurance for you that HM Revenue & Customs has announced that if the pandemic has impacted on someone in their personal or business life, it will accept this as a "reasonable excuse" for not filing a return on time.
What has HMRC said?
Missing the self-assessment filing deadline can trigger an automatic £100 penalty from HMRC. Late submitters potentially then face an additional £10 charge for every further day they do not file their return, up to a maximum of £900. The tax authority may then impose additional penalties on those who have still not filed their return after three months.
Such a penalty scheme gives the 12 million people in the UK who need to complete a self-assessment return a clear financial incentive to do so. However, HMRC has also acknowledged that difficulties arising in relation to the coronavirus situation may be a factor in late returns.
FTAdviser quoted a HMRC spokesperson as saying: "We want to encourage as many people as possible to file on time even if they can't pay their tax straight away, but where a customer is unable to do so because of the impact of COVID-19 we will accept they have a reasonable excuse and cancel penalties, provided they manage to file as soon as possible after that.
"Support is in place for those who may struggle to pay with customers able to spread their payment liabilities of up to £30,000 over 12 months."
The implications of this late-returns policy for you
While HMRC has been vague about what it would consider to be a "reasonable excuse", stating that it will treat every appeal on a case-by-case basis, the policy is seemingly designed to reassure those who face adverse events such as unexpected serious illness, hospital stays and bereavement.
But the tax authority's stance does not mean that penalties will be automatically waived. If you miss the deadline, you can still expect to receive a penalty that you will then have to appeal. However, the tax authority has already extended the penalty appeals period to three months, and has been looking to make appeals quicker and easier, according to FTAdviser.
Those who do miss the deadline for their self-assessment return will therefore need to be able to explain how COVID-19 affected them in their grounds for appeal, in addition to filing their return as soon as they can.

Burkina Faso is at the crossroads of West Africa is an excellent destination for anyone interested in seeing a picturesque countryside and exploring African culture and music. You can pursue elephants, Burkina Faso has the largest elephant population, and the country is replete with game reserves. Take time out to visit the annual Barani horse festival, sleep at a traditional Kassena courtyard or be amazed over the Domes de Fabedougou.
The swirling, cone-shaped limestone domes make Dômes de Fabedougou a surreal, arresting sight. Rivalling the Bungle Bungles in West Australia, their geological twins, estimated to be 1.8 billion years making it a great spot to visit.
Burkina Faso is also known for its natural beauty. Sindou Peaks once submerged under the sea; these magical, sculpted sandy hills are Burkina's top natural sight.
Traditions play an essential role in the cultures of the different ethnic groups and festivals, and ceremonies are part of them. Local mask and dance festivals, and the international film festival in Ouagadougou for instance, and The Tour du Faso, Burkina's annual cycle race.

Europe, Singapore align certification for emerging technologies
Europe and Singapore have updated their bilateral working agreement, allowing Singapore aviation companies get speedier approval to use new and emerging technologies, such as electric-vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) say the amendments, announced on 4 December, will allow both regulators "to collaborate on facilitating aviation innovations", including on eVTOL aircraft technology.
Source: Volocopter
Volocopter carried out a manned test flight in downtown Singapore in 2019.
Under the updated working agreement, CAAS will be able to validate EASA design approvals concurrently, and in close coordination with its European counterpart's type certification processes. In the past, CAAS could only validate the design approval once EASA has issued type certification.
"It will help aviation companies in Singapore to innovate and benefit from rapidly developing aviation technologies," the two agencies said in a joint statement.
EASA executive director Patrick Ky says the updated arrangement will help the industry to launch their products more quickly and easily in important markers outside of Europe, including Singapore.
CAAS director-general Kevin Shum adds that the arrangement will "help to develop Singapore as a centre of excellence for the aviation sector".
Singapore has been actively exploring opportunities in the emerging aviation technology sector, particularly in eVTOL aircraft. In October 2019, European urban air mobility company Volocopter flew its first manned test flight over downtown Singapore, kicking off its efforts to bring commercial air taxi services to the city-state.
The CAAS has in recent years also earmarked "drone estates" in western Singapore, to pilot unmanned aircraft systems technologies.

German urban air mobility company Volocopter has received FAA permission to pursue certification of its autonomous, electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) passenger drone design for flights in the USA.
Singapore, UK sign safety, MRO agreements
The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and the UK Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA) have signed two agreements on safety, security and training, as well as on aviation maintenance.
Singapore to allow business travel with movement restrictions
Singapore will allow short-term business travel without quarantine, starting January, but with strict restrictions on travellers' movements.

In a letter released Monday, 18 House Democrats called for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to open an inquiry into the legality of the Bush administration's domestic eavesdropping program. The lawmakers claim their efforts to have the Justice and Defense departments examine the conduct of the program have been stymied by the White House. Meanwhile, Sen. Arlen Specter (R) of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, has drafted a measure that would require court approval every 45 days to continue the surveillance of suspected terrorists. A secret intelligence court would have to verify the legitimacy of spying targets.
A classified American military study obtained by The New York Times reveals that German intelligence provided US commanders with a copy of Saddam Hussein's plans to protect Baghdad a month before the 2003 US-led coalition invasion.

Forty Hispanic and black inmates at California's San Quentin State Prison were involved in a racially motivated weekend riot that led to one injury, officials said.

A federal judge in Washington blocked the Defense Department Monday from rolling out a new merit pay system, saying it would erode the collective bargaining rights of 650,000 unionized employees. The Pentagon considers the change critical to improving management of the department's civilian workforce.

Bratislava and Zvolen go green!
The cities of Bratislava and Zvolen are preparing for climate change by adopting green measures to improve the living conditions for their citizens.
WE HAVE again had days of extreme heat here in Bratislava and in other cities around the country. Extreme temperatures, dry air and lack of water; then some days later torrential rains. Climate changes affects all European regions, directly or indirectly, though the impact will vary according to geographical location and adaptation measures undertaken. Consequences of climate change are especially apparent in urban areas, inter alia in high temperatures in the summer, and periods of droughts and floods. Moreover, landscape use, urban growth and sealed surfaces can increase the risk of extremely high temperatures and floods and contribute to soil desiccation and lack of drinking water in cities.
These are challenges we have to address. By taking preventive measures and adapting the city landscape, we can limit the negative impacts of climate change. I am thus pleased to see that city councils in different cities in Slovakia are responding to these challenges. Recently, the cities of Bratislava and Zvolen adopted climate change adaptation strategies. The strategies include measures like creation of new green public areas and restoring parks and fountains, building green roofs on buildings, replanting of trees, and retaining and managing rainwater.
Adaptation to climate change is important for the social and economic development and well-being of people in all societies, cities and countries all over the world. That is why Adaptation to Climate Change is a priority programme within our EEA/Norway grants for Slovakia. The programme receives around €13 million from a total allocation of €80 million in the EEA/Norway grants for Slovakia for the period 2009-2014.
The adaptation to climate change projects in the cities of Bratislava and Zvolen are pilot projects within this programme aiming at re-establishing the conditions necessary for healthy, balanced and dynamic ecosystems also in urban areas. The two other focus areas within the EEA/Norway programme are flood and drought prevention in the countryside in Upper Nitra and Zemplín, and a 'Blue School' scheme for education on climate and environment in 70 schools in Slovakia.
I am very pleased that we can take part in the Bratislava Get Green and the Zvolen Greening Innovation projects and thus contribute to the implementation of their climate adaptation strategies. The projects will help the cities to get greener, healthier and less overheated in summer; as they will plant new trees and create new green areas in the city centres, retain water and restore public green spaces and squares, like Námestie Slobody and Hlavné Námestie, create green roofs on a school building and a Senior's house in Bratislava and the main bus station in Zvolen, as well as make a green research campus at the Zvolen Technical University.
I really hope that Bratislava and Zvolen will become flagship green cities and good examples of what the greening of a city can do to improve the lives of its inhabitants and visitors.

Religious News From Around the Web June 8, 2020
08 Jun 2020 Posted by WRN Editorial Staff
Polls: Policy Decisions Forcing Religion's Decline in U.S., Religious freedom and Public Health, Racism a "spiritual virus," Tulsi Gabbard Addresses Hindu Commencement, Abraham Lincoln and Shavu'ot, #Sikh Hashtag Blocked, Christianity Thrives in Iran Despite Government Suppression
Putin's Religious Repression
On May 29th, decree number 344 was signed in the Russian Federation, which, according to Jarrod Lopes, will escalate suppression of Jehovah's Witnesses and other minority religions under the guise of fighting extremism. Lopes, a Jehovah's Witness executive, goes on to say that for years, Russia has used so-called anti-extremism legislation to target minority religions and this latest is also an attempt to export intolerance and repression, through international cooperation and agreements.
Lopes cites a long list of actions by Russian officials against Jehovah's Witnesses. Gennady Shpakovskiy, for instance, is on trial for holding small Christian meetings in his home. The charge is "organizing an extremist group" and if convicted, he faces more than seven years in prison.
Lopes told World Religion News that the tally of persecution in Russia and the Crimea includes: 346 people under criminal investigation, 31 in prison (10 convicted; 21 pretrial detention; and a total of 170 have served time in pretrial detention) 22 under house arrest and 927 homes raided since 2017 with 126 raided in 2020 – even during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Report: America's Religious Decline Not Accidental
"Expansions in government service provision and especially increasingly secularized government control of education significantly drive secularization and can account for virtually the entire increase in secularization around the developed world," says a report from the American Enterprise Institute. "The decline in religiosity in America is not the product of a natural change in preferences, but an engineered outcome of clearly identifiable policy choices in the past."
Poll: Americans Value Religious Freedom, but Don't See Public Health as a Threat to It
A recent UChicago Divinity School/AP-NORC poll of about 1,000 adults found that since the Coronavirus outbreak, fewer Americans are attending in-person religious services and more are watching live-streaming religious services online. Fifty-one percent of those polled think in-person religious services should be allowed in some form, though only 9 percent think services should be allowed without any restrictions, and a minority believe the restrictions on religious activities designed to slow the spread of the virus violate freedom of religion.
Tulsi Gabbard Delivers Hindu Commencement Address
Hindu Students Council (HSC), the largest pan-Hindu youth organization in North America, announced a historic first Hindu virtual commencement featuring Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard was the first female combat veteran to run for president, but endorsed Joe Biden in March. The commencement was held this last Sunday and was broadcast on HSC's Facebook page.
Vatican: Racism is a Spiritual Virus That Must be Wiped Out
Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, compared racism to COVID-19 but said: "It is a virus of the spirit, a cultural virus that, if not isolated, spreads quickly,"
Abraham Lincoln and the Shavu'ot Controversy of 1865
The official day of mourning for Abraham Lincoln — June 1, 1865 –was the same day as the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, which commemorates God's revelation of the Law at Mount Sinai. Jews had to decide whether to mourn the President's death or to celebrate the religious holiday.
Report: Christianity Thriving in Iran Despite Government Suppression
Despite suppression of Christianity in Iran – where conversion to Christianity is viewed as a threat to national security – conversion is rapidly proceeding according to the government's own reports.
#Sikh Hashtag Blocked, Was it Accidental?
Facebook and Instagram evidently blocked the hashtag #sikh for two months, and just unblocked it after complaints. The blocking was accidental, claimed Facebook, which owns both platforms, but some Sikh factions are suspicious of the circumstances and have called for an investigation.

As per a research study published in 2012 by the King's College Dental Institute, annually, about 1% out of the overall numbers of dental implant procedures result in dental nerve injuries. This type of dental implant procedure is generally undertaken for patients having lost their teeth due to an injury or during a disease. This implant procedure is carried out by the insertion to the jaw of an artificial tooth root.
This same study has also found out that patients are in some cases not given the appropriate care before and even after the procedure. Some post-surgery follow-ups are important for these procedures but these follow-ups are sometimes not respected and in other situations are not adequate enough to detect any nerve damage. In certain cases, patients were not even informed about potential nerve damage risks associated with this procedure.
This research has moreover determined that these types of injuries had tremendous adverse effects on the overall quality of life of patients. These injuries are often the cause of feelings of numbness to the jaw and a constant pain. In some cases this even led to depression.
Patients victim of malpractices such as a dental implant nerve injury might seek the advice of a dental lawyer. The lawyer would be able to provide dental malpractice information and guidance on the steps to follow. The lawyer might negotiate and try to obtain a settlement for you from the dental office.

Manslaughter Charges Filed Against Lynnway Auto Auction and Company President in Connection with Fatal Crash
BILLERICA – Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Billerica Chief of Police Daniel Rosa have confirmed that Lynnway Auto Auction, Inc. and Company President James Lamb were each indicted today on five counts of manslaughter in connection with the 2017 fatal crash. These indictments allege that the company and Mr. Lamb are criminally responsible for willfully, wantonly, and recklessly failing to take appropriate actions that could have prevented the death of five people.
After an extensive examination of the crash, investigators determined that Lynnway Auto Auction, Inc. and James Lamb who was responsible for day-to day operations, were aware of shortfalls in the safety measures in place at the auction facility and that they failed to ensure that all drivers were properly licensed and trained.
As part of the investigation into this incident prosecutors also reviewed reports by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as well as incident reports generated by Lynnway Auto Auction which described previous instances in which Lynnway employees were struck by vehicles or otherwise injured in unsafe conditions. Lynnway had previously been notified that they should not employ unlicensed drivers. Despite these recommendations, Lynnway and Mr. Lamb did not ensure that operators had driver's licenses, and the employer did not train or ensure the employees knew how to operate the vehicles.
On May 3, 2017, at approximately 10:11 a.m., a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee being operated by an unlicensed driver employed by Lynnway Auto Auction, Inc. entered the auction showroom at a high rate of speed and drove into the designated pedestrian area striking several people, and crashed through the cinderblock wall. Two victims, Pantaleon Santos and Leezandra Aponte, were pronounced dead on scene. Brenda Lopez was transported to an area hospital where she later died from her injuries. Nine others were transported to area hospitals. Two additional victims, Elliott Rowlands, Jr. and Ruben Espaillat later died of their injuries.
Based on a review of video surveillance of the crash, investigators determined that the Jeep pulled up to the garage door and within seconds rapidly accelerated leaving the red vehicle travel lane crossing into the blue pedestrian lane. The vehicle continued until it crashed through a cinder block wall. It crossed the entire length of the building in under four seconds. Based on the reconstruction of the crash it is estimated that the vehicle was travelling at approximately 32 MPH inside the building at the time of the crash.
The investigation also revealed that despite an incident in 2014 in which a worker was seriously injured, the defendants failed to implement safety measures, including, but not limited to, installing barriers to cordon off the auction lanes and protect the pedestrians mingling and maneuvering between and around moving vehicles. Even though James Lamb signed the certification of corrective action worksheet and abatement letter on behalf of Lynnway in response to the 2014 incident, safety measures were not fully implemented.
After a review of all the facts and circumstances of the case, it has been determined that the driver of the vehicle will not face criminal charges. Although the operator of the Jeep was driving with an expired driver's license, under Massachusetts Law, an individual is allowed to operate a motor vehicle on private property without a license. The Lynnway facility is not a public way; therefore the Commonwealth has determined that it would not be able to meet its burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the driver of the vehicle acted recklessly, and therefore he has not been charged with manslaughter.
In total today the Middlesex Grand Jury returned direct indictments of five counts of manslaughter against James Lamb and five counts of manslaughter against Lynnway Auto Auction, Inc. representing one count for each victim.
This crash was investigated by the Middlesex District Attorney's Office, the Billerica Police Department, the Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
These charges are allegations and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty. An arraignment date for Mr. Lamb has not yet been scheduled.

The World's Most Haunted Places: Creepy, Ghostly, and notorious Spots
Haunted and creepy places hold a strange fascination for people, especially once summer ends and fall begins. With Halloween just around the corner, we can't help but crave spooky atmospheres and a few jumps scare. But haunted houses only for Halloween aren't quite as chilling as real haunted places where ghosts and ghouls exist 365 days a year.
Not everyone has the nerve to brave a truly haunted location, but for those of us daring enough to seek adventure amongst the spiderwebs and spirits, there are a plethora of places around the world you won't want to miss. If you're the kind of person who gets their thrills listening to spooky stories and watching ghost hunters on television, you're gonna want to check out this list.
Here's our list of the Top 10 Most Haunted Places Around the World.
Ancient Ram Inn, Wotton-under-Edge, England: Want to visit one of the oldest working inns in the western world? What if we told you it was also one of the most haunted? Built-in the 12th century, Ram Inn has played host to all sorts of travelers, some of whom died while staying there. Today, the inn is home to more than 20 spirits, including children, a pagan priestess, and some demonic entities.
Queen Mary, Long Beach, California, USA: This luxury liner made voyages across the ocean for 30 years before finally docking permanently in Long Beach. In its time, it's seen more than 50 deaths, and its hauntings are some of the most well-documented in the world. Hear children splashing in the now-empty pool, and see shadowy figures of the workers who lost their lives in a fire below deck.
Poveglia Island, Venice, Italy: What's creepier than a deserted island that used to be a quarantine zone for plague victims? Thousands of people died terrible, agonizing deaths here. As if that's not enough, in the 20th century it became home to one of Italy's most renowned, and terrifying, insane asylums. Step one foot on the island today, and you can feel its dark history waiting to be unleashed.
Winchester Mystery House, San Jose, California, USA: After the death of rifle magnate William Winchester, his wife Sarah believed she was being haunted by the spirits of people killed by her husband's guns. To appease them, she had to build onto this house, and keep building 24/7. It was the only way to confuse the spirits. You'll find doors that lead to nowhere, and stairs that go into the ceiling, along with dozens of ghosts still seeking vengeance.
Burg Wolfsegg, Wolfsegg, Germany: Castles are inherently cool and creepy. An 800-year-old castle? Even creepier. Especially when it's haunted by the mysterious "Woman in White." Most people believe the spirit is Klara von Helfenstein. She and her husband were both previous tenants of the castle, and one night, he murdered her in a jealous rage. Her restless spirit now seeks revenge for her wrongful death.
St. Augustine Lighthouse, St. Augustine, Florida, USA: During the Civil War, Confederate soldiers actually removed this lighthouse, along with its ability to guide Union soldiers through treacherous waters. Many Union soldiers perished as a result, and their ghosts are said to haunt the waters and land around the lighthouse. The ghost of a friendly lighthouse keeper stops them from hurting visitors though, so you're safe if you go.
Lawang Sewu, Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia: Lawang Sewu was built as headquarters for the Dutch East Indies Railway Company. Sounds harmless enough, right? Until we mention that it was also a prison camp during World War 2. Many men lost their lives here, and their spirits still remain. Keep an eye out for many headless men, as well as several "kuntilanak," otherwise known as ghost vampires.
Gettysburg Field, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA: The bloodiest battle of the Civil War was fought in Gettysburg, with thousands of men losing their lives. But their spirits never left the field, even when the war was over. Today, ghosts are frequently seen walking here, still dressed in their Civil War attire. Most of them don't seem to realize they're dead and continue to fight a battle that has been long over.
The Catacombs, Paris, France: This is basically a massive gravesite and one of the spookiest you'll ever visit. Back in the 1700s, Parisians were running out of room for their dead, so they buried them beneath the streets of their city. The catacombs are filled with skulls and bones that you can reach out and touch, though doing so may anger the many spirits who live there. If you go, keep your hands to yourself and the spirits will do the same.
Lizzie Borden House, Fall River, Massachusetts, USA: Most people in America can tell you two things about Lizzie Borden's highly publicized 1892 trial—she was accused of killing her father and stepmother with a hatchet, and she got away with it. Suspicions followed Lizzie until her own death, and now the spirits of her, her father, and her stepmother haunt the home where the murders occurred. You can tour the house and even spend the night there.
Now that you've read about these places, do you still want to visit them, or do you think it safer to stay far, far away? Ghosts and spirits have a mind of their own, so any place you choose to enter, do so with care. But if you steel your nerves and find yourself facing the dangers of a truly haunted location, the adventures that await you will make for fond memories this Halloween and every Halloween hereafter.
When you get back from your adventures, let us know what happened. Did you encounter any ghosts? Hear any strange noises? Whatever happened, make sure to mark your trip on your Newverest travel map. Check off all the haunted places you visit and find new ones that are even more thrilling and spooky. We love hearing your ghostly travel stories. Have fun and here's hoping the ghosts you encounter don't follow you home.

The Nebraska Sand Hills are a stabilized dune field in the central United States that reflect past conditions of drought. The most recent drought, known as the Medieval Climatic Anomaly, occurred from A.D. 900 to A.D. 1300 and had an enormous effect on the thriving prairie ecosystem, which included large populations of the plains pocket gopher (Geomys bursarius). Burrows of these organisms across a paleosol-eolian sand boundary in the Sand Hills indicate abrupt climate change during the transition from stabilized to active dune field and from humid to arid conditions. Medieval gophers tunneled at greater depths below the surface than do modern gophers, indicating the behavioral changes these animals underwent to survive during the transition. The gophers were likely surviving on roots remaining in the underlying soil as it was buried by sand; they tunneled >1 m up to the surface to deposit mounds of excavated soil and sand. Most of the burrows occur in areas of low-angle bedding, suggesting loss of vegetation occurred first on the crests of the newly formed dunes while vegetation persisted in the interdunes. Optically stimulated luminescence dates from a dune containing ancient gopher burrows are nearly identical throughout the height of the dune, indicating rapid accumulation of sand. As accumulation of sand was rapid, vegetative loss must also have occurred quickly, though not in a uniform pattern across the region. Pocket gophers were apparently able to survive in areas of remaining vegetation for a short time, but in a relatively short period of time, they were unable to reach their food sources and were forced ultimately to abandon the uplands in the region.

Montana Cherries…
"Twenty cupcakes, purple sprinkles, princess wand," Dani Wilde muttered to herself as she peered into the box on the counter, the homemade treats aligned with military precision. She closed the lid and laid her niece's sparkly wand across the top. "Perfect."
Turning from the cupcakes, she surveyed the rest of the kitchen to ensure that all was in order. Only to find a pile of women's dry cleaning dumped on one end of the ten-person table. She stared up at the ceiling as if she could see right through it. Most likely, Michelle would claim another headache and wouldn't be able to run her own errands again today. Including delivering the cupcakes to the preschool for Jenna's last day of day camp.
Dani sighed, grabbed the pile of mail for her clients and the flyers for the summer sale at The Cherry Basket, and shoved it all into her Cinderella tote. Jenna had given her the tote last Christmas. The four-year-old loved Cinderella above all else.
Then Dani headed for the stairs.
When her father had moved into town six years earlier, stepping aside and leaving her brother, Gabe, to manage the family orchard, Gabe and Michelle had taken the opportunity to move into the master suite. But having Michelle in her parents' room often reminded Dani of her mother. Carol Wilde had suffered from headaches, too. Only . . .
Dani shut off her thoughts. Possibly Michelle really had migraines. Who was she to say?
And if they were anything like Dani's mother's had been, then driving a car was the last thing she needed to be doing. That had been proven by the accident that had brought Dani back home from college.
Reaching the far end of the hallway, Dani knocked on the closed door and waited for a reply.
"Yes?" a muffled voice answered after several seconds. Dani cracked open the door to find the Vera Wang bedspread pulled over a slim mound in the middle of the bed and the shades drawn on the windows.
"Do you need me to take the cupcakes to the school?" Dani asked quietly.
"Do you mind?" Michelle didn't even lift her head.
Guilt tugged at Dani. The woman was probably experiencing severe pain, and here she was being judge and jury. "I don't mind," she admitted. And she didn't. She loved being there for Jenna. "There's dry cleaning on the table . . ."
"Gabe took it down for me. Can you drop it off?"
Michelle rarely left the house in anything that didn't need to be dry-cleaned.
"No problem." Dani glanced at her watch. "I need to run in to see Mrs. Tamry anyway."
Mrs. Tamry was one of their best customers at The Cherry Basket, but had been unable to come in for the last few weeks due to chemo treatments. Her husband would be happy to stop by for his wife's favorite treat, but Dani preferred to take the fresh cherry scones herself. The weekly errand was the least Dani could do.
There wouldn't be a lot of time for visiting with the Tamrys today—not with needing to drop off Jenna's cupcakes—but adding in a run to the dry cleaner wouldn't cost her more than a few minutes.
"Anything else I can do for you while I'm out?" Dani asked.
Several seconds of silence passed and Dani decided that Michelle had gone back to sleep, but then the covers shifted and she peeked out from behind her silk sleep mask. "Will you take care of Jenna tonight? I don't want her coming in here and bothering me."
The words cut Dani in a way that almost bent her over. She so wished she had the power to do something about Jenna's mother. That was the only worry she had about her upcoming move from Montana to New York. She would be leaving her niece on her own. And this request wasn't uncommon in the girl's life.
Dani had never understood why Michelle had decided to conceive if she didn't want to be a mother.
"Sure," she nodded, even though Michelle had already disappeared back under the covers. "I'll make sure we do something quiet once we're back at the house."
Everything about that sentence bothered Dani.
She shouldn't have to keep Jenna quiet. She shouldn't have to take care of Jenna.
If Michelle were a decent human being, she'd have an actual interest in seeing her own daughter grow up. But so far, that didn't seem to be the case. What Gabe had ever seen in his wife, Dani had no idea. Or any sense as to why he continuously put up with her.
Dani backed out of the room, pulling the door silently shut as she exited, then shoved her tactless thoughts out of her mind. She checked her email as she hurried back down the staircase, one hand holding the phone up in front of her as the other slid along the stair rail. There were five emails from local marketing clients, three more from potential clients she simply didn't have the time to take on, and one from San Francisco.
Similar to the marketing firm she'd be joining in New York City next month, she'd done freelance work with the San Francisco company for the last three years. She hated the thought of giving up any of her clients, especially considering the potential attached to the one in San Francisco, but the contract she'd be signing with her new employer would force her to do just that. Not to mention, she'd likely have zero time left over for anything else. She had to prove herself when she got to New York. That was priority number one.
She stopped by the kitchen to scoop up the cupcakes and clothes, then headed out the back door. Peering across the field, she wondered if her brother was within cell service, and couldn't help letting her gaze hang on the Salish Mountains on the far side of Flathead Lake. She'd lived in Montana her entire life except for the eight weeks of freshman year at Columbia University. She'd made it to New York City briefly. And she would do it again.
She'd miss this place, of course. A lot. But New York was her dream. She had to do it. If not for herself, then for her mother.
Not seeing any sign of her brother, she settled the desserts into her car before sliding behind the wheel. She dialed his cell as she turned the vehicle around and headed down the long drive.
"Yeah?" Gabe always answered as if he had no time to talk.
"Michelle's in bed, I'm taking the cupcakes to the school."
He didn't reply at first, then grunted out a single "Thanks."
"You know she eventually has to do these things herself, right? I am leaving, Gabe. In a month."
She'd discussed making a permanent move to New York for so long, it had crossed her mind that her family might not believe she'd really do it. She'd been a constant for them, here for the last fourteen years. But things were different now. Jaden had just graduated college; everyone else had their own lives. They didn't need her anymore.
In fact, of her five brothers—all younger—Gabe was the only one still at home. And that was because he ran the farm. He'd been one year behind her in school, and where she'd come home from college to take over responsibility for the house, he'd gone off to college to ensure he had the most up-to-date knowledge to run the farm. It had been a given since childhood that he'd one day take over for their dad, and since graduating, he'd done an incredible job. Production on the farm had increased—they now rivaled any of the other orchards running along the coast of the lake—and they'd introduced two new cherry varieties in the last five years.
"I know," Gabe said in her ear, bringing her back to the present. "And she will. I promise. I'll talk to her."
What went left unsaid was "again." He'd talk to her again.
And what Dani didn't respond with was, "It won't do any good." They both knew it wouldn't.
"Jenna needs her," she said instead.
"I know," he bit out.
And you do, too.
But she wouldn't say those words. That would really set him off. He'd been snapping at her for weeks, a situation she attributed mostly to whatever was going on in his marriage. Things had been going downhill for a while there.
But she'd also wondered if her upcoming departure didn't play into his bad mood, too. They'd struggled once, around the time their mom had died. They'd fought a lot. But things were good between them now. They had been for years. And she didn't want that to change because of something she might do.
"I do know, Dani," he reiterated, this time more polite. "I'll talk to her."
That's all she could ask. "Want me to stick around until the party is over and bring Jenna home?"
"Could you? I need to get this tractor working or we'll be short one come harvest."
Harvesting the fifteen acres of cherries on their farm would start in about two weeks, lasting for another two weeks, into the first days of August. Then she'd board a plane and start her new life. "Will do," she confirmed.
She disconnected and headed down the road. Due to the mountains immediately to their west, the climate in the area was more temperate than in the rest of the state, making it the ideal location for the many orchards running along the eastern coast of Flathead Lake. Dani loved how the whole community came together at this time of year. The Cherry Festival was next weekend, migrant workers would soon move in, then picking would commence up and down the entire lake region—weeks filled with roadside stands and trucks weighted down with cherries, all heading to the packing plant.
Because of the cherries, the lake, and the fact that the town curved around the most gorgeous bay in the state, Birch Bay became a popular little tourist attraction in the summer months.
Pride swelled in her as The Cherry Basket came into view. Her days of living here might be coming to an end, but just because she was leaving didn't mean her past accomplishments would disappear with her. The Cherry Basket had been her creation from the ground up. Not only did they serve fresh-baked items made with fruit from their very own orchard, but they had mixes, cookbooks, jams, jellies, and pretty much any culinary delight one could want. They held cooking classes, and they'd even partnered with a big-name chef to develop their own line of kitchen utensils. It had been a proud moment for her when the doors had opened for the first time.
But it would continue without her. She'd made sure of it.
She'd worked hard to ensure that only the best employees were in place for both the local and online businesses. It was a well-oiled machine. Plus, it's not like she wouldn't check in on them. She wasn't cutting Montana out of her heart. Just her everyday life.
Later that afternoon, after a roomful of four-year-olds got buzzed on cupcakes and sugary drinks, Dani turned her reliable four-door sedan into the winding driveway of the Wilde Cherry Farm. She glanced in her rearview mirror at her niece. Jenna was waving her wand in the air in front of her, her pink tutu bunched up in her lap.
"Your teacher told me how great you did this year, did you know that? She was very impressed with how smart you are."
Jenna's blonde head bobbed up and down. "She liked me."
"Yes," Dani said, chuckling. "She liked you a lot. Because you're such a great little girl."
"I know," Jenna said almost matter-of-factly. Then the girl's gaze darted in the direction of the house and the joy on her face lessened. "Do you think Daddy's done working yet?"
"I'm not sure." Dani readjusted her own gaze, taking in the house and the land beyond it. Her dad's truck was parked behind Michelle's car, alongside a black SUV she didn't recognize.
"Mommy might not feel like playing," Jenna murmured from the backseat.
"That's okay." Dani winked at her niece as she shifted the car into park and took in the California plates of the SUV. There was a car seat in the back of the vehicle. "I'll play with you all afternoon. How about that? We'll play in my room."
She made the proposition of playing in her room sound exciting. Instead of saying that she didn't want Jenna to go upstairs because it might upset her mother.
"Who's here?" Jenna asked as she unbuckled the seat belt and climbed from her booster.
"Looks like Pops is," Dani said. Which didn't surprise her. Max Wilde and his longtime girlfriend, Gloria, often showed up for Friday-night dinners. "But I'm not sure who else."
Shooting a final glance at the shiny, new-looking SUV, Dani took the little girl's hand and they headed for the back deck of the two-story log home. Her parents had built the house after her fifth and final brother had been born, but only guests and strangers approached by way of the wide-sweeping front porch. The back deck led directly into the family room and had become the main entrance years ago.
As she stepped inside the house, she released Jenna's hand. Gabe was, indeed, in from work, and Michelle had even made it downstairs. She wore a flattering pair of designer jeans and a silk top that, if Dani remembered correctly, she'd picked up on a weekend anniversary trip to Seattle last fall.
The elder Wilde sat in his favorite recliner near the stone fireplace with Gloria perched in another chair close by. And on the sprawling leather sofa sat a little girl about Jenna's age, back straight and looking scared.
Beside her was a man Dani hadn't expected to ever see again. Outside of magazines.
Benjamin Browning Denton.
Dani's pulse let her know that she was still very much a woman, and very much alive, as she took in the insanely gorgeous man who stood at the sight of her.
With slightly rumpled hair a shade darker than hers, and casual jeans with a white button-up, the man came from good stock and he wore it well. He'd rolled up his shirtsleeves to reveal toasty-warm skin, and both jeans and shirt looked made to fit.
Despite the testosterone practically waving like a flag, his smile was uncertain.
They spoke at the same time. He inclined his head in a half nod, fondness radiating from his green, green eyes. "It's great to see you, Dani."
It had been ten years since she'd seen him. Ten years since she'd lost her virginity.
"You too." A short laugh came out of her, tight and higher pitched than normal. A fact she attributed to the embarrassment that suddenly flooded her. Good grief, she'd thrown herself at this man.
She shot a questioning look at her brother, who'd moved to her side and picked up Jenna. "What's going on?" she muttered to Gabe.
It wasn't that she didn't want the others to hear the question, but she was confused. And she didn't like being caught off guard. Ben had returned to Los Angeles after he and Gabe had graduated from Montana State, and as far as she knew, he hadn't been back in Big Sky Country since.
He hadn't even made it to Gabe and Michelle's wedding. He'd been at a shoot on one of the Pacific islands.
Ben was a photographer to the stars, mostly models, and often showed up himself on the pages of national magazines. Usually with some of the same beauties he captured through his lenses. He'd even been romantically linked with a foreign princess at one point.
"Didn't I tell you?" Gabe asked while Jenna giggled at his nuzzling kisses.
"Come home anytime he wants," her father added from across the room. "I told him that years ago."
Only, it had never been Ben's home.
Though it had probably been closer to a home than anything else he'd ever had. He'd spent three summers and two Christmases there during his college years, due to his A-lister movie-star mother rarely being in one place for very long. And Ben wanting to be around her even less.
"So when he called," Gabe continued, "I invited him to stay for a few weeks."
A few weeks?
"No." Dani gulped, trying her best not to look upset. She wasn't. Merely shocked. And wishing she'd taken more time that morning with her appearance. "You did not mention it."
Had a houseguest been mentioned, she would have prepared a room for him.
Or for them, she corrected herself as she took in the child not quite by Ben's side. Clearly this was the daughter recent tabloids had rumored to exist. She looked just like him. But with such a gap between the two, both physically and what seemed like emotionally, it wouldn't be hard to imagine they'd never met.
She pulled her gaze from the dark-haired, terrified-looking child and turned to Ben. He remained standing, an overly large, bright-pink stuffed bunny in his right hand. "So the rumors are true?" she couldn't help but ask. The tabloids had recently claimed that a model he'd hooked up with years ago had shown up on his doorstep last month with quite the surprise.
"The rumors are true." He tipped his head toward the girl, but didn't look at her.
Dani glanced back at the child, and though she didn't say it, all she could think was, Wow. Ben Denton had a kid. That would surely put a damper on his globe-trotting-bachelor ways.
Jenna's dog, Mike, chose that moment to come barreling down the stairs and race for his mistress, still high in her daddy's arms. At the same time, Michelle pulled a photo album from the shelves between the two sets of floor-to-ceiling windows, and glided across the room. She set her sights on Ben and sidled in close. Too close, actually.
"Tell me about Hollywood," Michelle purred, her eyelash extensions fluttering as she looked up at him. "What's it like working with models every day?"
Gabe had met Michelle in LA when he'd gone home with Ben during spring break of their senior year. They'd dated long distance for a couple of years before he'd married her and moved her to Montana. She'd been whining about wanting to return to California ever since.
"Well," Ben started. He glanced at Michelle's French-tipped nails where they'd landed on his bicep. "It's a job," he added, sounding uncomfortable. "Lots of travel, long hours. But there are perks."
Dani almost snorted. She'd just bet there were perks.
Ben gave a subtle shrug of his shoulder, and Michelle's hand slid from his upper arm . . . to his forearm. She goaded him to the couch, where she settled in beside him and opened her album.
"Let me show you pictures of when I lived there," she cooed, "and you can tell me what's changed."
Pictures of her, no doubt. That was pretty much the only thing in that particular album.
Dani looked at Gabe, who was hunkered down now, he and Jenna both accepting Mike's sloppy kisses while the dog's tail slapped wildly against Dani's legs. Gabe seemed oblivious to the fact that his wife was coming on to his friend.
Finally, Jenna looked up from Mike and the two of them marched determinedly across the room to stand in front of the other girl. The newcomer's hair had fuzzed into a knot on one side, looking as if it hadn't been combed in a couple of days, and her top didn't match her shorts. Her gaze had silently followed every movement Jenna and Mike had made.
"My name is Jenna," Dani's niece announced. "And this is Mike."
Uncertain eyes darted to her daddy. When she got no help, she finally whispered, "I'm Haley." She bit down on her lip and dropped her gaze to her lap.
Poor kid.
Michelle didn't pause from her story while the two kids introduced themselves to each other, but Dani did notice a wrinkle in her brow like she was annoyed with the distraction.
"Did you wanna play with me?" Jenna asked.
Mike nudged his nose into Haley's lap, and she glanced at her daddy a second time. This time Ben looked back, but that's all. No nod of encouragement. No pat on her shoulder to show a bit of support. He did wear a similar uncertainty in his own gaze, though. As if he had no idea what he was supposed to do when his daughter looked at him like that.
And he once again shifted the arm nearest Michelle, this time succeeding in easing her hand away from his body.
"How about all three of us go play," Dani jumped in. She was unable to watch the fear on the little girl any longer without trying to help. Moving forward, she held a hand out for both children. "We'll play in Jenna's room while the grown-ups have silly grown-up talk," she said. "And we'll take this wild and crazy dog with us."
Haley almost smiled at that, and slid off the couch to reach for one of Dani's hands.
"I'll fix the guest room for you," she told Ben as she edged past him. Though there were three unused bedrooms upstairs, her remaining four brothers would soon return for the harvest.
All Wildes did their best to make it home every July, even their father's sister—though she was now in her seventies. Aunt Sadie, who'd lived in Colorado since before Dani had been born, normally took the guest room on the main floor across from Dani's bedroom, but since she and her husband had recently taken a fiftieth-anniversary trip, she'd decided to sit this year out.
As Dani and the girls moved toward the hallway, she looked back at the sound of a feminine laugh from the far side of the room. Her dad and Gloria were leaning in toward each other, talking softly, both wearing tender expressions of affection. It was sweet. She supposed.
She only wished her mother were still around so it could be her mom and dad cuddling like that.
Before turning back, Dani took one more peek at Ben. He was watching her.
Her pulse ratcheted up once again as she thought about the past. He may have been Gabe's best friend, but something different had happened between them over those summers. Not romantic—
Well . . . no.
Though she did have sex with him that one time.
The bigger thing had been the friendship that had developed. Not buddy-buddy as he'd been with her brothers. And not simply looking for a good time the way he'd done with the other girls in town. What had been between them was more akin to him being able to see inside her head. Or maybe her heart. As though he'd been able to simply understand who she was.
Which was funny, because at that time in her life she'd had no idea who she was.
She'd just been sad. And missing her mom. And certain that everything that had ever gone wrong in her life had been her fault.
She turned back to the girls. Possibly what had been between her and Ben during those summers had simply been about her going through losing her mom while he'd been busy avoiding his. Whatever it had been, the two of them as friends had worked.
And that's what she'd missed when he'd left that last time. Her friend.

Great Barbecues of Texas: City Market in Luling | Village Voice
Great Barbecues of Texas: City Market in Luling
Voice Choice
Originating in ther early 1950's, City Market sits on Luling's main drag opposite the railroad tracks that bisect the town.
By the time Luling was founded in 1874 as a station on the Galveston, Harrison, and San Antonio railroad, it was already one of the wildest towns in the Wild West, frequented by outlaws like Sam Bass and John Wesley Hardin, with a red-light district on the edge of the municipality known as Dogtown.
View of Luling. Note the palm trees.
The town was apparently already a hodgepodge of streets and ill-constructed architecture, and one visitor noted the penchant of local businessmen for misspelling signs, including "Squar Meals at Reasonable Figgers." Apparently, you were never very far from a saloon, either.
A couple of stories circulate as to how Luling was named. One is that it was the name of the wife of J.H. Pierce, the president of the railroad that had just been laid through town. A more colorful story concerns a Chinese railroad worker named Ling Lui, who remained in town to run a Chinese laundry. His long pigtail caused townspeople to make fun of him, and one day he cut it short and changed his name to John Chinamen because people were always asking him if he was a Mexican.
Once oil was struck in 1922 (the event is still commemorated with an oil derrick atop a limestone pillar next to the railroad tracks downtown), the town became known for the stench of sulphur and petroleum chemicals, though agriculture was still one of Luling's economic mainstays–so much so, in fact, that it became known as the Watermelon Capital of Texas, which is still commemorated to this day with a beauty contest to appoint the town's "Thump Queen," referring to the practice of knocking on the melons with your knuckles ("thump 'em") to see if they're ripe or not.
Luling usually has two or three barbecues in operation, but one is older and has persisted longer than all the others: City Market. This grocery turned barbecue still retains its stock of groceries in the front of the premises, with a glassed-in area at the rear containing the closed pits. You can see the pitmaster and his minions scrambling around the smoky rear room. As usual, barbecue is cut, placed on butcher paper, and weighed for vending in the rear, and then brought to the grocery counter in front pay for the meat and also buy your sides (dill pickles, jalapenos, cole slaw, potato salad, and pinto beans that are so plain, they barely contain salt).
Brisket, pork ribs, and homemade sausage at City Market with accompaniments. Soda crackers can be substituted for white bread.
The pit crew poses for a photo.
The Luling watermelon-seed spitting contest takes places once a year at this empty lot.
Luckily, the brisket, ribs, and sausage are splendid; the brisket a little leaner than most, the beef sausage perhaps a bit less loose in its casing and tasting of black pepper. By contrast, the pork ribs are often fatty, and many claim they're the best thing in the place. You don't need sauce with this kind of long-smoked barbecue, but City Market provides its own sauce in borrowed Tabasco bottles, and I think it's quite awful: sweet, orange, viscous, and tasting much like the bottled French dressing made by Kraft, and maybe the barbecue sauce was inspired by it.
City Market is generally considered the last stop on an arcing barbecue trail that starts in Taylor and goes southward through Elgin and Lockhart before reaching Luling, all meat markets and groceries that originally sold barbecue as a sideline.. But as we shall see next week, there is one oft-neglected spot even further south, placing it due east of San Antonio.
Other barbecues sporadically open and close in Luling.

BACKGROUND: CT perfusion (CTP) and diffusion or perfusion MRI might assist patient selection for endovascular thrombectomy. We aimed to establish whether imaging assessments of irreversibly injured ischaemic core and potentially salvageable penumbra volumes were associated with functional outcome and whether they interacted with the treatment effect of endovascular thrombectomy on functional outcome.
METHODS: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the HERMES collaboration pooled patient-level data from all randomised controlled trials that compared endovascular thrombectomy (predominantly using stent retrievers) with standard medical therapy in patients with anterior circulation ischaemic stroke, published in PubMed from Jan 1, 2010, to May 31, 2017. The primary endpoint was functional outcome, assessed by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days after stroke. Ischaemic core was estimated, before treatment with either endovascular thrombectomy or standard medical therapy, by CTP as relative cerebral blood flow less than 30% of normal brain blood flow or by MRI as an apparent diffusion coefficient less than 620 μm2/s. Critically hypoperfused tissue was estimated as the volume of tissue with a CTP time to maximum longer than 6 s. Mismatch volume (ie, the estimated penumbral volume) was calculated as critically hypoperfused tissue volume minus ischaemic core volume. The association of ischaemic core and penumbral volumes with 90-day mRS score was analysed with multivariable logistic regression (functional independence, defined as mRS score 0-2) and ordinal logistic regression (functional improvement by at least one mRS category) in all patients and in a subset of those with more than 50% endovascular reperfusion, adjusted for baseline prognostic variables. The meta-analysis was prospectively designed by the HERMES executive committee, but not registered.
FINDINGS: We identified seven studies with 1764 patients, all of which were included in the meta-analysis. CTP was available and assessable for 591 (34%) patients and diffusion MRI for 309 (18%) patients. Functional independence was worse in patients who had CTP versus those who had diffusion MRI, after adjustment for ischaemic core volume (odds ratio [OR] 0·47 [95% CI 0·30-0·72], p=0·0007), so the imaging modalities were not pooled. Increasing ischaemic core volume was associated with reduced likelihood of functional independence (CTP OR 0·77 [0·69-0·86] per 10 mL, pinteraction=0·29; diffusion MRI OR 0·87 [0·81-0·94] per 10 mL, pinteraction=0·94). Mismatch volume, examined only in the CTP group because of the small numbers of patients who had perfusion MRI, was not associated with either functional independence or functional improvement. In patients with CTP with more than 50% endovascular reperfusion (n=186), age, ischaemic core volume, and imaging-to-reperfusion time were independently associated with functional improvement. Risk of bias between studies was generally low.
INTERPRETATION: Estimated ischaemic core volume was independently associated with functional independence and functional improvement but did not modify the treatment benefit of endovascular thrombectomy over standard medical therapy for improved functional outcome. Combining ischaemic core volume with age and expected imaging-to-reperfusion time will improve assessment of prognosis and might inform endovascular thrombectomy treatment decisions.


Now a business or company can invest in this Mindfulness Workshop and positively change the way that their colleagues interact with each other within their business and subsequently their home life. This results in a happier, more productive and efficient workforce which is beneficial to themselves, your business and your clients.
The Mindfulness Workshop is a one day course from 9:30am until 3:30 pm with the usual coffee and lunch breaks. It is led by myself incorporating tools from my psychotherapeutic background and radio presentation communication skills. The day consists of meaningful interaction in pairs and within the group as a whole. There are also several guided meditations and visualizations to unlock and develop a deeper understanding of the individual so that everyone benefits in a way that fits their personal needs.

The All Progressive Grand Alliance on Tuesday praised its late national leader and ex-Biafra warlord, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, describing him as "a disciple of the rule of law and constitutionality".
The national chairman of APGA, Dr Victor Oye, in a statement by the party National Director of Publicity, Ifeanacho Oguejiofor, said Ojukwu "was an uncommon rallying point, a strong anchorage, an established epicentre, a great mobiliser and the conscience of the party and the nation".
He said, "APGA remembers with nostalgia his huge contributions and selfless efforts towards the endearment of the party to all and sundry, especially to the people of the South-East zone.
Ojukwu died on November 26, 2011 the UK at the age of 78.


My submission for The Red Door Project Beer and Beers art show.
Just a little devil head painting I did this weekend.
A little voodoo doll painting.
One time last week, Fatboy possessed the cybernetic body of the late great Andre the Giant. After about three hours of mayhem involving a united dairy farmers, a sponge, and two missing cows, we were finally able to settle the little guy down. But he did inspire me to create some fun pro-wrestling art.
"Andre the Giant" This sketch is heavily influenced by one of my favorite Dale Keown "Incredible Hulk" comic covers.
The birdman of the original WWF... Koko B. Ware.
I got to add some fun wolves to Jason's Celtic arm design last week. These have all been a challenge, but it's nice to start to see it all come together. I have some time this week, and early next week for tattoos. You can PM me on here. Or you can email me at tikibot1@yahoo.com. Have a great day, and try to be kind to each other.


Our FRP products are only as good as the service behind them—what good is having a world-class product with no support to back it up? At DEFI we make implementing our FRP products easy for you with support in design, engineering, fabrication, and installation.
We leave nothing to chance when you entrust us with your structural fiberglass needs—we build relationships with our customers and our success is rooted in the quality of services we provide.
Drafting – Often times the hardest part of a project is just getting started. We completely understand that struggle and that's why we have seasoned design specialists on hand to help you. Whether you need schematics, shop drawings, or full assembly guides for self-installation—DEFI is ready and willing. Not sure what you need in your facility but have a certain vision? Not a problem. At DEFI, if you can envision it—we can get it done.
3D Mockup – It is hard to look at a two-dimensional representation of a product and get a solid feel for it in all of its intended design. That is why we provide you with an exact scaled down, three-dimensional mockup to give you a complete 360° view of the assembly. Using the most advanced, state-of-the-art 3D printers our scaled mockups are accurate representations of what your product will look like once installed. Along with seeing the finished product in the mockup, you can even break out each of the components allowing an exploded view of how everything comes together to create the final assembly.
Timely Performance – Our teams that handle estimating, production management, and materials procurement work within a carefully choreographed system that allows us to ensure that your project and design needs are met in a punctual manner within your budget. We expect nothing but the best from our internal departments because our customers expect the same from DEFI and we deliver.
This makes DEFI a full-service solution for any FRP needs your company may have. When you can eliminate confusion from several different companies cross-communicating on a project, you save time money and end up with a smoother workflow. At DEFI, we are committed to a streamlined process from start to finish and that shows in the processes we employ in each and every department.
When it comes to FRP fabrication, you need a manufacturer that focuses heavily on accuracy and quality control while maintaining production deadlines.
Computer-Controlled Production – DEFI outperforms every other FRP manufacturer at fabricating the best FRP products on the market—and continuing to develop new solutions to common challenges in the industry. From simple material prep (cutting, routing, coating, and more) to full assembly projects or even pre-assembled—DEFI uses the latest in computer-controlled machinery and CNC drills.
This technology ensures the utmost accuracy while working efficiently to meet production deadlines and produce a large volume of product in a timely fashion. The other added benefit of using computer-controlled machinery is the ability to have a tight control over manufacturing parameters. This strict adherence to accuracy in production not only ensures the quality DEFI customers have come to know us for—but helps make final assembly easier and much quicker.
Organization is the foundation of any installation, large or small. DEFI makes installation as easy as possible whether we are installing or you are handling it yourself. We have your needs in check for a timely and cost-effective installation.
Assembly – Even though all of DEFI products are designed to easily be assembled onsite, there are special circumstances where pre-assembly in modules helps speed installation. For example, individual sections of a catwalk platform for a brewery might be pre-assembled in modules that will all be connected together onsite. We can even completely assemble products for you and ship it ready to install. Often, products like pedestrian bridges where it may be hard to get to the area of installation may be shipped whole and ready to be installed.
Kitted Shipments – There's nothing more time-consuming than getting parts for an assembly that are packaged out of order and not clearly labeled. At DEFI our shipments are packaged like a kit with documentation to support as well. No more searching or guess which part goes where or how to assemble. Everything is shipped together in a kit, ready for you to follow the instructions of installation.
Priority Packing – For projects that require specific, staged assembly, DEFI will ship your kits in the order of installation on a timeline that works for you. This helps reduce clutter at your worksite and eliminate any confusion during assembly. This is just another way DEFI makes the process as smooth and easy as possible for our clients.

Museum of Modern Art curator and SVA faculty member Paola Antonelli (MFA Design and MFA Design Criticism Departments) has put together an impressive show at MoMA. "Talk to Me: Design and the Communication between People and Objects" (on view through November 7, 2011) focuses on objects that involve direct interaction and features nearly 200 projects, ranging from video games and robots to cell phone apps and Web sites.
"Talk to Me," which The New York Times calls "one of the smartest design shows in years," also includes work by MFA Interaction Design faculty member Robert Faludi, who collaborated on Botanicalls, which allows household plants to communicate via Twitter when they need watering.
For more information about "Talk to Me," visit MoMA's Web site.
