Saint Ann Convent
Institution founded in 1857, Montréal, Québec.
Saint Ann School was established in 1857, an initiative of Sulpician priest, Father Michael O'Brien, whose desire was to open a school for girls of Irish descent. This new school was built on McCord Street (today de la Montagne) in Montreal. As soon as it was founded, he asked the Sisters of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame if they would teach at the school. The founding sisters were Sister Sainte-Agnès (Anastasie Rossiter) and Sister Saint-Étienne (Adélaïde Jarret). Because the building of cut stone was not ready for the beginning of the 1857 school year, the sisters were obliged to receive the students in three classrooms in a small brick house located nearby on Saint-Augustin Street (today Rioux). Once the school was completed, the sisters kept the small house. In the first year, there were five hundred enrolled students. At the beginning, the school was under the direction of the Sulpicians. The school was blessed on October 21, 1857 by Father Michael Joseph O'Farrell who, in 1864, was responsible for the construction of a first annex to the house on Saint-Augustin Street. It was at this time that the school took the name Saint Ann Academy. In the now larger school, the students could take subjects affiliated with the cours modèle et académique. From 1864, in addition to the regular courses, the sisters taught food preparation, shorthand and sewing. From 1948, high school level classes were taught.
In 1861, the sisters established their residence in the Saint-Augustin Street building. At that time the school numbered seven hundred forty registered students. Some years later, in 1885, the house fell into disrepair and had to be demolished. The other building underwent important expansion work so that the sisters could move in permanently. When Faubourg Saint Ann Parish was canonically established, the Sisters of the Congregation took the direction of the school. In 1882, it became a school of the Montreal Catholic School Commission. Two years later, Saint Ann Parish was administered by the Redemptorist priest, Father John Catulle. In 1957, celebrations were held to underline the 100th anniversary of the school's establishment. The celebrations were on such a large scale that planning began as early as 1955. The former students of the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Alumni Association were very involved with the organization. The festivities were launched with a grand concert and banquet and were closed with a High Mass celebrated by Cardinal Paul-Émile Léger. Around 1967, there was question of demolishing the Saint Ann School and Church because they had fallen into disrepair. To show their disagreement to this announcement, the students, brandishing placards, demonstrated in the streets. This protest made the news in several Montreal newspapers. In 1968, the School Commission informed the sisters that it intended to cease renting out space in the school. Despite this decision, the sisters continued their mission of education by teaching night courses to adults in Saint Ann Academy until 1974, the year in which the school permanently closed. The sisters moved to Holy Trinity Convent on Montgomery Street in Montreal. When they arrived, the small yellow brick house they were renting needed important renovations. To receive eleven sisters, a large room was divided into four smaller rooms. There was also a community room, a small chapel and even a garden on the roof. While some sisters continued to teach in Montreal schools, others worked with the poor and the sick.

No, I can't say I have the same fear as you, but this post did make me laugh a lot! I need to be in flats when I'm with my children, and my favourite flats in the world are my black Tory Burch Reva's. There is a big huge silver TB symbol on them, though, so I'm not sure if you'd like them or not! However – they are Oh-so-comfortable!
@Loukia – I don't know what it is…I love these shoes on other people, just not me. I have been eyeing some Tory Burch flats – maybe for Christmas?
I love shoes and love having embellishments, my only problem is finding them in my size.
@domestic extraordinaire: Yes, totally – a trip to Ikea would be awesome!

The line-ups are long for Chunghua's Mothers day promotion – 499NT$ for all you use 4G data, thats about $21 CAN. I currently pay $24 to Rogers just to keep my number active. I heard another telecom is offering an online only offer of about $12 CAN.
This used to be called 竹科 station but they changed the name recently and I can never remember it.
Since the SARS epidemic here in Taiwan, which served as a sneak peak into a dystopian future, I've been very careful about trying to prevent contact with virus's while out and about in whatever city we are in. Not to the point of developing some kind of complex or OCD, but a gentle reminder to watch where we place our hands, keep them clean and away from our face. Common sense when living in crowded environments.
Unfortunately all these good intentions don't help when faced with the other peoples lack concern with the health of others. On the train from the HSR Sunday an older woman felt it necessary to sneeze on me, and with boy body being run down from lack of sleep I've now caught a cold. My first in recent memory.
My one way ticket has been issued. With only 6 weeks left on this island, the clock is ticking and we are using all of this remaining time to visit those special local restaurants that we have been frequenting since we arrived here so many years ago.
When we travel we have always eschewed fancy restaurants, hotel food, or so-called expat eateries (expat is a term I abhor), as we have preferred to eat where the locals eat. Often these places are found off the beaten path and can require some effort to find. This same philosophy applies to where we call home, as you can walk around any neighborhood in Hsinchu or Taipei and find a new place to experience. Of course as a family with limited resources, there are good sound economic reasons to do this as well.
One of the great advantages of living in Taiwan is that despite being towards the end of the month, when the budget is tighter, you can still afford to go out to a restaurant and feed a family of 4. Taiwan's "small eats" or junk food is far tastier than what you would find in Canada.
The other great advantage of living in Taiwan, is that this country has such a wide range of good food to eat. Within walking distance of our house the whole world is represented; Indian, Korean, Italian, Japanese, American (Cajun), Thai., and French food is all available. As well, as all the regions of China.
酸辣湯 at 五花馬. A franchise in Taiwan. It wasn't that great and I wouldn't be surprised if it came from a package. I might source a more homemade, replete with pigs blood, source before we go.
Latte and blueberry cheesecake in Zhudong. Even in somewhat small and remote towns you can wander down some alley and find good coffee and pastries.
An Indian family opened a non-decript restaurant nearby. We stopped in for what could be best described as Indian family cooking. Tastey.
蔥油餅 is a favorite of the kids.
炸醬麵 at some some little place in the downtown.


Larissa: When Elvina and I were elected as Comms Chairs for SIPASA, we discussed the possibility of bringing all the student org. comms chairs together to streamline communication to ease the burden on SIPA students. We were tossing around a few ideas and were put in contact with a group of students (Dani, Paulina, and Julia) who were working on a platform that would streamline communication and be more user-friendly. We offered to take on the execution of the platform and instituting it as a job duty for SIPASA Comms Chairs in the future.
What made you come to this current iteration of "one email"?
Paulina: Our Civic Innovation and Building a People Centered Government class inspired us to come up with a solution to the communications challenge at SIPA. Through human-centered design we interviewed a diversified group of students within and outside of SIPA to gauge their thoughts on the student events communication process, their level of satisfaction, and how it could be improved. So to answer shortly, it was each and every one of you who came to this current iteration of the "one email". We simply brought all of your wants and desires together and brainstormed a solution that would would be most effective and make everyone happy.
A lot of students saw that the lack of streamlined communications was a problem, but only you all decided to really do something about it. What do you think motivated you try to change it?
Larissa: SIPASA is a unique student org in the sense that we are students, elected by our peers, to serve our peers. We understand what it means to be both a student org leader and a full-time student, trying to manage the mounds of work, student activities, etc. It made sense that we would explore solutions that would make life at SIPA easier for students and student leaders so that we could all maximize our time here. A communications platform developed by students, for students, makes sense and would be better than a traditional top-down approach.
Julia: For our final project Dani, Paulina, and I agreed that we wanted to work on something that was feasible, useful, and could be "solved" in a relatively short-timeline. But when we were in the finding process and talking to students about their experiences, we realized that there was a real possibility of actually having our prototype implemented. That was a huge motivating factor. And once we figured out how to configure the one calendar, got connected with Larissa, and decided on the launch date we were just on a roll.
Paulina: Our biggest challenge was ensuring that the change we thought SIPA needed with regards to communication, was what everyone truly wanted. Our class all had similar solutions to the communications challenge, but that didn't necessarily mean it was reflective of the student body's opinion. It wouldn't be human-centered design if we created a prototype that displayed only what we thought was best, as oftentimes we see organizations do. We wanted the calendar and one email to truly be student owned so we decided we would start with having only student organizations add to it.
What advice do you have for students that would like to change things at SIPA, but don't know where to start?
Julia: Talk to as many people as possible at all levels and keep checking back in. Our decisions often were guided by the people we spoke to. In order to make the final product work the best it could we had to constantly touch base with SIPASA and regular students to make sure the calendar and the process was efficient and intuitive. For example, we heard and knew there would be barriers if we wanted to implement institutional and bureaucratic changes and so decided to go down a student-led route. Once making that decision, the "how" seemed clearer. Also we kept checking in with Larissa to make sure that the process we thought of would actually work with the Communication Chairs.
So there you have it. If you see a problem, change it, and if you like the one email, make sure to reach out to these lovely women that made it happen.


With the ambition of letting young actors work together and discover the international co-production process, Young Europe incorporates a co-creation project. Young actors from different European countries will participate in four small-scale co-productions. The model of the co-productions is the following: two ETC member theatres from different countries work in close collaboration on the same new written play they have commissioned to a young playwright. The productions will be then staged to school audiences and performed in two languages in both countries. Each play is limited to 45 minutes to allow a discussion between the young European artistic team and the school audiences after the performance.

Ralph Waldo Rose (né le  à Healdsburg (Californie) - mort le  à San Francisco) était un athlète américain. Aux Jeux olympiques d'été de 1904 à Saint Louis, il est devenu (et reste à ce jour) le plus jeune champion olympique du lancer du poids. Quatre ans plus tard à Londres, il défend victorieusement son titre.

Carrière
Athlète de  et de , Rose fut le premier athlète à lancer un poids à plus de . Son record du monde à  (1909), tint pendant plus de 16 ans. En 1904, alors qu'il était étudiant à l'Université du Michigan, il remporta la compétition au lancer du poids et au lancer du disque lors du championnat des « Big Ten ». Il s'inscrivit ensuite à l'Olympic Club de San Francisco et sous la bannière de ce club, devait remporter sept fois le titre national de l'Amateur Athletic Union au lancer du poids, lancer du disque et lancer du javelot. Rose prit part à trois olympiades, et remporta au total trois médailles d'or, deux médailles d'argent et une médaille de bronze. Lors des Jeux olympiques d'été de 1904 de Saint-Louis (Missouri), il remporta la médaille d'or au lancer du poids, fut second au lancer du disque, troisième au lancer du marteau et sixième au lancer du poids de .

Aux Jeux olympiques d'été de 1908 à Londres, il emporta de nouveau la compétition au lancer du poids, mais créa un incident à la cérémonie d'ouverture : en tant que porte-drapeau de la délégation américaine, il refusa d'incliner le drapeau américain devant la tribune du roi Édouard VII, à la requête d'une majorité d'athlètes américains d'ascendance irlandaise ; interrogé sur ce point, l'un des athlètes, Martin Sheridan, justifia cette attitude par le commentaire évasif « ce drapeau ne s'incline devant aucune puissance terrestre » (This flag dips to no earthly king). Les décisions des juges britanniques, parfois défavorables aux athlètes américains au cours de ces jeux, furent mises par la presse et les porte-paroles américains sur le compte de la rancune, bien qu'il n'y ait aucune preuve que le public britannique ait été choqué par l'affaire du drapeau. Le commentaire de Sheridan n'est pas non plus clairement attesté dans les témoignages d'époque : il ne fut publié qu'en 1952.

Rose prit aussi part à l'épreuve du tir à la corde mais perdit.

Aux Jeux olympiques d'été de 1912 à Stockholm, il remporta l'épreuve du lancer à deux mains (avec un total à  avec le bras droit et le bras gauche), prit la seconde place au lancer du poids, fut neuvième au lancer du marteau et onzième au lancer du disque.

Il fut emporté à 28 ans par la fièvre typhoïde.

Extreme heatwaves across different countries have continued to rise more than ever as a result of climate change. Several countries have been affected by these heatwaves. Countries like Greece, Japan, and of late, Canada are suffering.
However, the prime minister of Canada is said to have been blamed for the natural disaster as a result of investing on fossil fuels. Every day brings new death tolls and the Canadian residents are protesting against the investments of fossil fuels.
According to reports, about 50 people in Greece, 44 in Japan; 70 people in Canada have been found dead as a result of heatwaves across the globe. Other countries are not left out and they been affected by this condition.
Firstly Greece – many people woke in the morning on the 24 of July to find out in the news that about 50 people were found dead as result of heatwaves including six-month old baby. Dozens more were injured and hundreds were rescued as a result of wildfires that occurred through a small resort in Athens. The government have acted on the area and also requested for international help.
However, the Greek government have asked people to evacuate the coast west of Athens due to the rising conditions of the area as the temperature level is over 400c.
It is important to know that Greek is not the only country affected by the rising heatwaves – Japan is another country with a great death toll as a result of heatwaves. Today, the country's weather agency has declared the heatwave a natural disaster, saying that at least 65 deaths had been recorded in the past week. Experts believe there will be many more.
In addition, Sweden is another country affected by the rising heatwave. It is also important to know that the country is experiencing the hottest July for 260 years; the country has asked for international aid to help decrease the heatwaves in the Artic.
Back to Canada where there have been reported cases of death as a result of heatwaves in Quebec alone. Earlier this month, in Ottawa, in Ontario, the humidity index—the method used there to measure the combined humidity level and temperature—hit 47°C (116.6°F) on July 2.
However, the heat levels are rising and upon Canada; and the Canadian government stated another warning concerning the heat levels in the Montreal area, addressing the residents that the heat levels have the tendency to reach thirties.
"Heat warnings are issued when very high temperature or humidity conditions are expected to pose an elevated risk of heat illnesses, such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion," it stated.
Also, the media is acting on this menace. One BBC journalist tweeted: "Climate change. It's here. It's catastrophic. This month alone: — '50 dead' in Greece wildfires — Arctic Circle ablaze — Japan heatwave, flooding and landslides kill hundreds — Record temperatures in Algeria, Morocco, Oman — Drought squeezes US lemons.
It looks like Justin Trudeau have been reluctant about the effect of heatwaves As people die across the globe, his government was searching for a buyer for the controversial Trans Mountain pipeline, which will triple the amount of dirty tar sands exported from Alberta to Vancouver to 890,000 barrels a day.
The pipeline issue has become a big political problem in the country – The issue was opposed by the government of British Columbia and by a coalition of First Nations, community and environmental groups.
Even though were several warnings on the climatic effect of pipeline, Trudeau's government offered to buy it from Kinder Morgan after the company froze investment, to keep construction continuing. They had hoped to sell the pipeline quickly to a new buyer.
There were no buyers found before the deadline, which was on Sunday. So, Trudeau's government has no option now but to be the full-time owner of the tar sands pipeline.
The formal sale looks to be approved next month, which means that more people may die. However, the Canadian government has to look into this issue critically to save its citizens from death.

The author of dozens of acclaimed novels including those in the Scudder and Keller series, Lawrence Block has long been recognized as one of the premier crime writers of our time. Now, the breathtaking skill, power, and versatility of this Grand Master are brilliantly displayed once again in a mesmerizing new thriller set on the streets of the city he knows and loves so well. That was the thing about New York-if you loved it, if it worked for you, it ruined you for anyplace else in the world. In this dazzlingly constructed novel, Lawrence Block reveals the secret at the heart of the Big Apple. His glorious metropolis is really a small town, filled with men and women from all walks of life whose aspirations, fears, disappointments, and triumphs are interconnected by bonds as unbreakable as they are unseen. Pulsating with the lives of its denizens-bartenders and hookers, power brokers and politicos, cops and secretaries, editors and dreamers-the city inspires a passion that is universal yet unique in each of its eight million inhabitants, including: John Blair Creighton, a writer on the verge of a breakthrough; Francis Buckram, a charismatic ex-police commissioner-and the inside choice for the next mayor-on the verge of a breakdown; Susan Pomerance, a beautiful, sophisticated folk-art dealer plumbing the depths of her own fierce sexuality; Maury Winters, a defense attorney who prefers murder trials because there's one less witness; Jerry Pankow, an ex-addict who has turned being clean into a living, mopping up after New York's nightlife; And, in the shadows of a city reeling from tragedy, an unlikely killing machine who wages a one-man war against them all. Infused with the raw cadence, stark beauty, and relentless pace of New York City, Small Town is a tour de force Block fans old and new will celebrate

Who's ready for the June ECTA meet? Registration in, car ready, etc?
I have my registration in and a room booked (including the one on the way there). I DO have to get Mutt on the hoist and fix the screw-up I did when I forgot to pull the air dam before pulling him on the trailer (it was cold and rainy and I was frazzled and, and....). It was a dumb mistake but fixable so I gotta fix it or run w/o air dam which I will try at some point but not yet. He also needs 30 more clicks on the boost controller but that's easy.
No one else going (besides Dan B)?
I'll be there as well Dan. Got a lot of good info making some shakedown runs in the Breaking Wind Firebird and looking forward to putting the coals to it!
Excellent! I LOVE the name. I have issues with that but the unpadded seat makes it less of a fire risk!
I just received the Email with the inspection form, schedule, and access map (we can't use the main access due to a car show). I downloaded them to "Preview" and printed them from there and it worked flawlessly.
Me me me. We won't know until tomorrow evening if I'll bring Bluebelle or Red (Bluebelle on the dyno tomorrow for a fix and a tune, fingers crossed).
I leave tomorrow AM so I'll load up today with enough stuff to sink a battleship. ME will meet me in Detroit following the meet so I'll have all kinds of stuff for her and The Grandboys as well as my stuff (racing suit, jack, etc.) so poor truck will have his bed full of it all. See you there!
Have a great time, and, good luck to all!
Red. Dyno Man couldn't fix Bluebelle today. Her ECU is corrupted, probably from all the tunes I've put on her. She'll have to go to the Ford dealership to get re-flashed.
So Red and I are positioned in Blytheville waiting to go through tech tomorrow. If I could drive today instead of tomorrow.....today.
Go Pdub Go! Be safe and have FUN!!
Red and I have everything we need to pass tech for 150, I think. IF the installed 5 point harness counts. Tech will be interesting. Very.
I was totally bent on bringing Bluebelle because that's just silly fun, she goes faster than she's supposed to go (if she'll run and she won't right now). Red will go lots faster than that, if they'll let him. Film at eleven tomorrow regarding tech clearance, and it's fun no matter what. Boy oh man it's gonna be hot Saturday, 94 degrees on airport concrete.
Big Red Camaro is here.
Some other folks are here, too.
Awesome! How/d Red do in tech?

I loved your response to my last recipe testing post and you asked for more behind-the-scenes like this, so let's do it!
The recipe test week from earlier this month spilled into the weekend. I simply could not get babka to cooperate all week, so I spent the following Sunday working on it again. I didn't want to give up because my goal this year is to bake new and exciting recipes. And babka has been on my baking bucket list. And it's babka. And it's awesome.
Have you ever had babka? I'll tell you all about it when I share the (successful!) recipe on Monday. In a nutshell, it's a rich brioche dough filled and twisted up. Lots of delicious layers. My main babka problems were filling and shaping it. First, I used way too much filling (I went with Nutella!) and it was oozing out everywhere. Could hardly twist it up. What a mess. When I finally got the right amount of filling on there, I used way too much dough. It overflowed into an epic disaster. I wish I took a picture for you to see it. As it baked, it kept growing and growing… and growing. From what I could salvage and taste, the dough wasn't rich, flaky, and soft as I wanted. In the next batch, I removed an egg white and reduced the flour. Long story short, I ended up with 7 loaves. My kitchen has never smelled better. Most of what you see above is in my freezer. On the menu when we have visitors: babka.
Anyway, twisting babka can be a little tricky so Kevin helped me take a video of me shaping it for you to see. I'll share it all on Monday, so check back!
Another recipe my assistant and I worked on is the February's baking challenge. I spent some time looking at your recipe requests for challenge recipes and I'll share some of them as regular (non challenge!) recipes throughout the year. I already tackled madeleines, a popular request. I was originally going to do some sort of chocolate tart to teach you all about making traditional ganache, but ended up with something else that's just as chocolate-y. I photographed the February challenge recipe this past week. Excited for it!
You'll hear more about the recipe on February 1st!
Tiramisu was a popular request and I'd love to work on that in February. Do you have any preferences on it? A traditional tiramisu? A variation?
Thoughts on bread pudding? Do you like it?
And one more thing… I did a podcast with Food Blogger Pro a couple years ago and the episode was featured as a rewind episode this past week. In case you want to give it a listen– it's all about working hard to create success!
PS: Are engagement anniversaries a thing? Because today's date will always be special for me. It was 5 years ago!!
Babka! Maybe with some filling alternatives. CINNAMON and CHOCOLATE are always great. I am not a nutella fan.
Tiramisu please! Would it be cruel if I asked to learn to make lady fingers from scratch, too?
I'm not sure I could ever replicate lady fingers! I bet homemade is so so so good in tiramisu.
Sally, thank you so much for sharing the podcast, I just listened to it and feel inspired.
Regarding your questions: I would like a tiramisu with a twist. I am not a huge fan of bread pudding. And we don't celebrate our engangement, but since in Germany getting married by the state was on a different day than our church wedding, we celebrate our wedding anniversary twice per year 😉 Congrats on your anniversary!
Tiramisu is delicious, and I'm such a sucker for bread pudding! Looking forward to February!
Bread Pudding fan here! When my dad was growing up during the depression, my Italian grandmother would make bread pudding to use up the odds and ends she' d baked through the week, nothing was store bought. We still make Grandma's recipe for my dad and it's one of his favorite things n the world. Comfort food!
Just what I requested….thank you, Sally! I can't wait to try this.
Saw your pic of the cake pop. I managed to snag one of your cake pops last week, and it was DELICIOUS! I hope that recipe is coming soon!
Happy Engagement-iversary! I think we should totally make these a thing! The date of our engagement is also one of my favorite days, especially since it also happens to be my grandfather's birthday!
Tiramisu is ALWAYS a good idea, and I think it would be fun to play around with traditional and different variations (the idea of an orange or citrus inspired tiramisu sounds perfectly scrumptious right now!)! And I'm a big fan of bread pudding, especially unexpected flavor combinations, so I'm excited to see what you might come up with!
I think the secret to tiramisu is that creamy marscapone cheese. And lots of espresso!
As for bread pudding, i hope you find a way for it to look pretty!
Love bread pudding! Also, would love to see you do eclairs or cream puffs!
I have only had 1 bread pudding I liked and I can't remember the details, but it was so yummy. I think it was different because it was really simple. Maybe a yummy dough with some raisins and a creamy sauce.
Babka is on my list to tackle when my new oven arrives!
I grew up eating bread pudding, my mum is English… but I don't know a lot of people here in the US who does. A pastry chef I had the pleasure of working with once made a bread pudding with whisky caramel sauce which was divine.
please, please tiramisu, and would love more recipes without chocolate, like a lovely flan.
just signed up for recipes and love the presentation and discussion. Keep up the good work. Excited to try chocolate lava cakes, already have the ramekins..
I love traditional tiramisu but I always have kids eating my baked goods so I don't make anything with alcohol in it. I'm not a big fan of bread pudding, I'd rather have pie or a cupcake. I'm getting ready to make your babka, but gonna watch your video again to get the braiding part down. Thank you for teaching me how to be a better baker.

On track to improve mine safety

Ctrack managing director Jim McKinlay explains how telematics and data can increase vehicle safety standards. Safe to Work writes.
Between 2012 and 2016, 369 workers were killed by vehicle collisions across all industry sectors in Australia.
Seventy-six people died in 2016 alone, accounting for 42 per cent of all fatalities that year, according to Safe Work Australia.
Prevention of vehicle collisions is an issue constantly put under the spotlight by the Australian and global mining sector to improve safety in the industry.
According to analysis of patterns in mining haul truck accidents by the United States National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the key causes that lead to fatalities include driver error from loss of control or inadequate performance.
A standout way to prevent these risks is through the use of telematics solutions, which have been shown to improve the safety and fuel-efficiency of drivers after they received feedback, coaching and rewards, according to the US-based professional association for the mobility industry, SAE International.
The study by SAE revealed a 55 per cent reduction in unsafe events, a 60 per cent decrease in severe unsafe events and a 42 per cent decrease in speeding by applying telematics.
Telematics and data are evidence-backed methods of increasing safety by improving driver behaviour, Ctrack managing director Jim McKinlay tells Safe to Work.
Data alone, however, is not sufficient in creating safer workplaces, McKinlay adds. The data needs to be analysed for patterns that can be used to provide feedback to drivers.
"The problem is that mining companies have too much data and it's hard to analyse," McKinlay says.
Future accidents can be predicted by analysing data to find patterns that can limit dangerous situations that drivers encounter.
"If there's a place that is particularly dangerous with high incidents of accidents, we can warn drivers that they're entering a dangerous zone or divert them altogether," McKinlay says.
Ctrack's technologies track driver behaviour to reduce dangerous driving, such as harsh braking and accelerating, providing actionable analytics for companies to be proactive in avoiding accidents.
Immediate feedback is also provided to drivers through Ctrack's dashboard and analytics system.
"All of the data collected from drivers provides meaningful data that companies can use to decrease accident costs, along with maintenance and fuel costs," McKinlay says.
Ctrack's solutions provide full fleet visibility through its fleet management software. It is communicated simply through its analytic and dashboards, allowing information to be easily understandable.
These tools are key in providing actionable insights to clients who then use it to coach and improve their drivers, increasing the safety of its fleet.
The technology also increases efficiency by 30 per cent, according to Ctrack, because of its route optimisation and job scheduling capabilities.
Ctrack's latest Iris camera solution delivers a 360-degree view of trucks and mining equipment, especially important in mining as hazards can come from any direction.
Iris provides a live video recording of the cabin, as well as road-facing and additional external cameras.
Ctrack's new camera capabilities and telematics solutions enable a company to keep track of its drivers and determine if drivers are suffering from fatigue, using a phone and more.
"Iris is our high-end solution, there can be multiple cameras analysing data including facial recognition and driver behaviour data," McKinlay says.
"The data is communicated back to the companies in real time, giving them information about driver behaviour and flagging anything unsafe which can be used to train the driver later on."
The technology also includes a safe hands-free communication system where the control room can communicate with drivers. In the event an accident does occur, the control room is notified immediately, allowing rescue staff to help as soon as possible.
Iris is the culmination of three decades of expertise and experience, with its technologies proven in other industries. Its applications range across industries from yellow equipment to airports.
"When you look at airports, there are nonpowered assets, powered assets solutions, yellow equipment and more that all utilise our technology," McKinlay says. "All of this technology and knowledge is transferable to the mining industry."
One death is too many in mining and technology and data are the way forward in improving safety, McKinlay stresses.
"We're providing new and innovative technology through our analytics and dashboard systems to increase driver safety and reduce costs. We get people home safe and that's the ultimate goal," McKinlay concludes.

Subject: Diamond Foods (DMND)
No. of Recommendations: 18
DMND has been a falling knife. The stock traded north of $90 per share in September, 2011 and it has fallen to a mere $23.52 per share as I write this. My expectation is that after a 75% haircut in the price per share there would be a high probability that Mr. Market may have created a bargain. I've attempted to find out, as best as I can, and I share the highlights of what I've learned in the following – my primary objective being to assign a fair value to the shares that I'm reasonably confident in.
The reason for the sell off has been some confessed financial reporting shenanigans concerning the timing of certain expenses. It appears that the now ousted CEO and CFO cooked the books so as to goose reported earnings:
http://investor.diamondfoods.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=189398&...
The admitted sin: The Audit Committee has concluded that a "continuity" payment made to growers in August 2010 of approximately $20 million and a "momentum" payment made to growers in September 2011 of approximately $60 million were not accounted for in the correct periods, and the Audit Committee identified material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
In what follows I've assumed that the audit committee's work has been thorough and complete and that there are no other skeletons in the closet – an assumption that may prove incorrect. The offending CEO and CFO have been ousted, rightly so, and I'm at least willing to entertain the idea that the company can work their way through the consequences of this unfortunate and stupid act by former management. I am impressed by how quickly the board acted in removing a CEO who had long held that post. An SEC investigation of the incident, fines and shareholder lawsuits can be expected.
It should be noted that short sellers have sold about 50% of the float short as of January, 2011. So, there's a lot of money betting that an even lower stock price lies ahead. Given the improprieties and uncertainty surrounding the shares their pessimism is probably warranted. Another shoe may drop.
I attempted to use one of Professor Damodaran's spreadsheets to value the shares after making certain adjustments to the financial statements. The adjustments included correcting for the improper timing of expenses and also stripped out one-time acquisition expenditures to arrive at a financial picture indicative of the consolidated business as it currently stands and will likely be going forward. The end result is that I calculated a range of fair values for the stock, depending on various assumptions, of between $19 and $35 per share and, as is often the case, obtained absolutely no confidence in these numbers due to their sensitivity to minor changes in the inputs.
To gain more confidence in my assigned value to the shares and to also narrow the range of values to something more useful, I elected to follow an appraisal approach comparing key valuation metrics of DMND with a few of its peers in the Processed & Packaged Goods industry. The key metrics I chose to concentrate on are:
* Enterprise Value / Revenue
* Net Profit Margin
* Debt / Equity
* Historical revenue growth rate
Because the profitability of DMND is in some doubt due to the expense reporting shenanigans, I believe it reasonable and prudent to view their profit margins with some skepticism and that is why I chose the EV/Revenue metric. DMND has a large amount of debt and I believe that can play a role in determining the fair value for the equity. Growth is of course an important determinant to assigning a fair value multiple.
According to Prof Dam's website, the average EV/Revenue for the food industry is 1.08x. In general, higher multiples are given to businesses with better than average profitability and/or growth rates.
Some DMND history is important to the appraisal process. Originally founded by a group of walnut growers, DMND primarily supplied walnuts and other nut products to grocery stores as a cooking ingredient. They later launched the Emerald brand of nut snack treats.
In September 2008 they acquired the Pop Secret popcorn brand from General Mills for $190 million in cash (funded by debt) and the brand was expected to add $85 to $90 million in sales in the coming year. They paid 2.11x revenue for this brand which commands a 25% share of the microwave popcorn market.
In the few years prior to this acquisition, DMND showed meager profitability capable of producing net margins of only 1.5%. Revenue growth rates struggled below 3% per year.
After the Pop Secret acquisition, the net margin of the consolidated company improved to around 4%. And, reported growth rates were much higher due to that acquisition – for a year anyway.
In March 2010 DMND acquired Kettle Foods (chips) from Lion Capital for $615 million in cash (funded by debt). At the time of the acquisition, Kettle was expected to add $250 million in revenue and double the company's EBITDA. They paid 2.45x sales for the Kettle brand and net margins improved to in excess of 5.5% although the expense "shifting" by management played a role in this margin improvement.
Fwiw, I think these two acquisitions were good ones. They allowed DMND to gain shelf space in the grocery "snack" aisle and leverage its legacy nut business by moving more so into that higher margin aisle compared with the lower margin cooking aisle. The reported results seem to suggest that they were successful in doing this.
In April, 2011 DMND announced that they were acquiring the Pringles potato chip brand from P&G in an all-stock transaction valued at $2.35 billion. The Pringles brand has world wide sales of $2.4 billion and its acquisition would vault DMND into the number two snack food company behind only Pepsi's Frito Lay. Unfortunately, a consequence of the former CEO's book-cooking shenanigans is that P&G will most likely walk away from this deal due to a material change in DMND's finances as a result of those shenanigans. For my purposes this deal does provide two key pieces of information: another valuation point, Pringles could be had for about 1.0x sales; and the all-stock nature of the deal may suggest that DMND stock was overvalued at that time. In April, 2011 DMND shares were trading hands at about $60 per share. At that $60 price, DMND's EV to revenue multiple was about 1.9x. At the $90 per share high price, DMND's EV to revenue multiple was about 2.6x.
DMND has $530 million of secured debt and that debt has first claim on virtually all the assets (tangible and intangible) that the company owns. Total assets are $1.3B but goodwill and intangibles account for $0.87B of this total. In a bankruptcy scenario, it appears shareholders would be left with nothing as the net tangible asset value is less than the debt owed.
Having rambled on long enough to lose most readers, I'll get to the meat. Here are DMND's metrics along with the supporting data:
DMND:
Enterprise Value ($ millions):
Long Term Debt (4/30/2011)                  530.7
Shares Outstanding                           22.0
Quote Per Share                             23.52
Enterprise Value                           1048.1
Revenue (ttm ending 4/20/2011)              966.0
EV / Revenue                                 1.09
Debt / Equity                                1.03
Net Profit Margin (3-yr Avg, as reported)    5.5%  Excludes Acquisition Expenses
Net Profit Margin (3-yr Avg, adjusted)       3.2%  Excludes Acquisition Expenses
Revenue Growth (5-yr Avg)                   15.2%
And, for the comparable companies I've chosen in order of increasing Debt/Equity ratio:
Peers:                                      FLO    CPO    THS
EV / Revenue                               1.08   0.97   1.51
Debt / Equity                              0.38    0.9   0.95
Net Profit Margin (3-yr Avg, as reported)  5.1%   3.9%   4.1%
Revenue Growth (5-yr Avg)                  8.5%  13.1%  20.8%
I've selected these three companies because they show net margins similar to that of DMND's. You'll also note that DMND's 5-year historical revenue growth of 15% is bracketed by these comparable companies too.
I own FLO shares and they are a well run company that historically has grown by acquisitions just as DMND has done in recent years. FLO's current debt level is relatively high, for it, having just completed a series of acquisitions and the expectation is that they will pay that debt down over the course of the next few years. I'm also confident in saying that I think FLO is about fairly and fully valued at its current price.
My assessment of DMND's situation is that their acquisition activity will come to a screeching halt for the foreseeable future because their credit lines are nearly tapped out. Their stock is no longer ample currency on which to do a deal with. So, my expectation is that near term future growth will be limited by what can be achieved from reinvested earnings, alone. Their payout ratio is only about 8% as they pay a tiny dividend amounting to about $3.5 million per year.
If all goes well and there exists still untapped synergies from the recent acquisitions, DMND will do well to grow in the 8.5% to 13.1% range exhibited by FLO and CPO. This would suggest a fair value EV to revenue multiple of 1.0x is about the best that can be hoped for.
Based on this, it is my opinion that $25 per share is fair for DMND.
Another way to look at the fair value is to utilize the acquisition multiples for the Pop Secret and Kettle brands. To do this, I'm going to discount the sales multiple paid by an assumed premium for control of 25%. And, I'll assign a sub-par fair value multiple of 0.8x for the legacy DMND business given its historic sub-par net margin (1.5%). This leads to the following:
DMND:              Sales  x Multiple     = EV
Legacy DMND          626        0.80    500.8
Pop Secret            90        1.58    142.2
Kettle               250        1.84      460
Total                966                 1103
Debt                                     -530
Value of Equity                           573
$ Value Per Share                      $26.05
With that, my bottom line is that I think the fair value for the shares is in the mid-$20's. At best, $30 per share.
I'm left to conclude that DMND stock's big run up to $90 per share was driven by acquisition growth fueled euphoria by the market (qtr over qtr growth rates were 30%+ but it was nearly all the acquisitions and unsustainable) along with a few momentum buyers piling on to the point of no reason. The chart goes straight up starting with the Pop Secret acquisition and accelerates as time goes by. A bubble destined to pop and it did. Still, it's hard to believe that the valuation could have gotten so out of whack. Perhaps, my valuation is too conservative and the market will one day soon prove me wrong.

Subject: Re: Diamond Foods (DMND)
Nice post. My only quibble is, the valuation for pop secret and kettle are high. Today a prospective buyer of DMND will not pay those kind of multiples.
In any case, I would wait for the dust to settle on this one. I think the stock is not done with its declining.
Author: LeKitKat
excellent post Rich. I was also considering looking at them. So thanks for the help. Did you by chance look at what moving the expense into the wrong quarters did to earnings? Have not looked at them yet, but I gather they put payments to growers into future quarters that would be masked by acquisition activity to spare the earnings in the period they should have been expensed in. Was it really necessary to resort to this? Was business that shaky?
At the very least it makes a good case study for fraudulent accounting. Always a positive

My only quibble is, the valuation for pop secret and kettle are high.
You might be right. I was maybe too generous.
I do see these two acquisitions as adding shareholder value long term. And that is my only justification for the higher multiple on those 2 brands.
Overall, I like the company and would be a buyer at a significant discount to $25 per share. Say, dip a toe in at 1/3rd off and back up the truck at 1/2 off.
Hi Kit,
Did you by chance look at what moving the expense into the wrong quarters did to earnings?
Yes. I was working with annual data, not quarterly. The way I interpreted the confessed accounting shifting was that the $20M "continuity" payment should have been reported in the 2010 results but wasn't. So reported net income of $26.2M was really $20M less or $6.2M for that year.
For 2011, I assumed that that $20M "continuity" payment was in fact reported in that year (having been shifted from 2010). But, the $60M "momentum" was not. So, reported $50.2 million in net income becomes for 2011:
Adjusted Net Income = $50.2 million + $20 million - $60 million = $10.2M.
I'd point out that in 2011 there was $16.8M of acquisition related expenses. And, in 2010 there were $11.5M. So, I think these one-time expenses should be added back in to the net's above to give a picture of the business' true earning power.
So with all that adjusting done. EPS for 2010 was $0.94 and for 2011 $1.21,
I gather they put payments to growers into future quarters that would be masked by acquisition activity to spare the earnings in the period they should have been expensed in.
Yes, that's what it looks like.
Was it really necessary to resort to this? Was business that shaky?
I'm speculating here but the way I see it goes something like this: We have a dynamic CEO with an all stock deal pending. This deal will be a huge feather in his cap and catapult DMND on to the world stage in snacks. The success of his entire strategy hinges on this deal getting done. Because its an all stock deal based on a fixed amount of shares, the value of the deal to P&G shareholders is dependent on DMND's stock price - a bubble induced overvalued currency. If that stock price falls significantly, the value of the deal shrinks and P&G may walk away.
So, there was a large incentive for him, from an ego standpoint, to prop up the share price at least temporarily until the deal closed. Shifting expenses was a way to extend the good times just long enough to get to the original closing date.
For some reason that I don't recall, the original planned closing date got extended and the house of cards collapsed before the actual closing. That closing will probably never happen now.
The business was fine. It's just that the market's perception of it had no basis in reality and the CEO must have known this. His actions simply were an attempt to extend the fantasy a little while longer.
But, I could be all wet as there really isn't any way to know what his intentions were. We may never know.
One good lesson here for investors is that when a company announces an all stock deal, it makes sense to ask the question: "Are these shares overvalued?" And, if they are sell. Often times, all stock deals get done because the stock price is inflated.
Funny thing about shoes, they can come from any direction:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Exclusive-Walnut-growers-seek-...
snips, emphasis mine.
Some California farmers plan to stop selling their walnuts to Diamond Foods Inc in the wake of an accounting scandal over grower payments that has claimed the jobs of the snack company's chief executive and chief financial officer.
Six small walnut growers told Reuters they would stop supplying Diamond when their contracts expire because they say the company has been underpaying farmers. Three of those growers said they hoped to break their contracts early.
The walnut growers Reuters spoke to said they know of more than a dozen other growers who also want to terminate their relationships with Diamond. While that is still a fraction of the roughly 1,000 growers who supply Diamond, if there is an exodus, it could hurt the company's ability to fulfill orders or force it to pay more in an increasingly competitive market.
"Their prices are just not competitive," said Guy Harris, whose family has sold walnuts to Diamond for 45 years. "In 2010, they were 25 percent below a lot of other buyers."
Harris, who sells about 400 tons of walnuts every year and owns Diamond shares, said he will not renew his contract when it expires later in February. He said he knew of at least three other growers who were looking to exit their contracts.
Something like this could negatively and permanently impact the fair value.

I think "cockroach theory" fits these kind of situations very well. There is never 1 cockroach, similarly when you see fraud, especially at the top, there are many more by the underlings. It will take sometime for the new management to come and clean the house. And you will have few bad quarters, where the management has to throw the kitchen sink and low ball the expectations what else and what not.
That's when the pessimissm will be highest and the stock will not be touched by anyone, offerring a great opportunity. The question at that point is whether one can hold his nose and buy some.
We can revisit this may be after 3 months?
Some concluding remarks on DMND:
Early on in my never ending investing learning curve, I read Lynch's books. One take-away I had was that it was important to sample a prospective investment's products or services. Lynch, as you probably know, advocated buying shares of those companies whose products or services that you liked. It is in that vain that I give this critique of the Kettle brand potato chips. (Pop Secret I've purchased countless times before and so a sampling was unnecessary. The same goes for Diamond's nut offerings.)
Yesterday I made a trip to the two grocery stores we frequent most, both are owned by Spartan Stores (SPTN). The smaller of the two, a Family Fare store, and the one I frequent most because of its smaller size did not carry the Kettle brand of chips. The much larger D&W did.
The chip aisle of course is dominated by the Frito Lay brand offerings. Near one end of the aisle, with chips stacked 4 shelves high, furthest from the checkout lanes was a small sliver of shelf space devoted to the Kettle brand only 3 bag widths wide. I had to look carefully to find them.
Only three flavors were offered; Sea Salt, Barbeque, plus Sour Cream and Onion (Kettle makes 11 different flavors according to the website). The color of the packaging I can only characterize as "drab" in stark contrast to the bright and vibrant colors of competing products. I wonder if this color choice is intentional or a marketing snafu. Sea Salt is packaged in a medium brown bag. The Barbeque chips are in an orange-red bag. And, the Sour Cream and Onion chips are in a medium green colored bag. I purchased the Sea Salt flavor for taste-testing during lunch.
A bag was offered for $3.89 and contains only 5.5 ounces. This is about the same price as a Lays bag but it is less than 1/2 the size.
The Kettle chip is thicker and crunchier than a Lays chip and greasier too. I'm reminded of the years of conditioning I've had over my lifetime from countless TV commercials advocating the "thin" and "lightness" of the Lays chip. The Kettle chip contrasts with this advertising induced preference greatly.
I ate roughly 1/2 the bag with my 2 peanut butter sandwiches and then offered the rest to my daughter, son and wife. The two ladies had one chip each and gave favorable but lukewarm reviews. My teenage son was more positive as he devoured the whole bag but, like Mikey, he eats everything. For myself, I doubt whether I'd purchase them again. But if they were placed in front of me and I had no other choices I would eat them – not exactly a ringing endorsement.
I'm sure there's a whole bunch of chip contrarians in the world that would enjoy Kettle chips. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them.

Their Salt and Pepper chips are highly addictive!!
one of the best chips on the market and sold at Costco in giant bags that still manage to disappear in rapid fashion in our household.
We like the Sea Salt ones as well. Interestingly, they are among the chips sold in a couple of health food stores in my parts.
I like 'em!

Thank you, Rich, for your careful analysis of DMND. I have been wondering about this DMND debacle and whether it is an opportunity for bottom feeding but I don't have the expertise to break out the numbers as you so well, so I am grateful. I do see in our Cincinnati papers that P & G is being coy about the DMND deal but haven't said 'Nay', so we shall have to wait and see on that.
I have concerns about your Kettle Chip taste analysis,though! Our family is totally committed to Kettle chips--they are natural and tasty. The charming low key packaging (did you say 'drab'?) is indicative of its 'natural' and 'organic' niche, and probably of the Pacific Northwest mystique where they are headquartered. Of course they aren't like Frito-Lays which I grew up with and thus might require an acquired taste but we do love their flavors, naturalness and crunchiness with beer, cocktails and sandwiches and we buy our share of them (at Costco and Kroger). I think they may be positioned for the 'urban' 'light' snacker, or what we used to call 'yuppies' way back, not the serious potato chip cruncher who likes quantity (like my husband).
I just looked on the Kettle website, by the way, and they have a nice online shopping page where you can buy any of their chips by the bundle if your local store doesn't stock the wide range and if you're up to paying the shipping.
I really like the Diamond brand nuts too. Both for baking and the snackers. I was sorry to read in a link here that the Walnut farmers are complaining about the price Diamond pays for nuts and are reluctant to resign with them due to pricing--I wonder why they signed such contracts if they thought they could do better elsewhere. Of course, if they won't sell to DMND, then they can try to sell to others, but I imagine other distributors won't be inclined to pay high prices if they detect a glut on the market. More fall-out to analyze, I guess.
Nevertheless, I am glad you posted your numbers along with projections. I am keen to watch this stock and buy at a value point and I will watch this thread for more analysis.
Thank you both carver1963 and 3Fairfield,
To learn that there are such avid Kettle Chip fans out there is valuable investment knowledge. I believe that I may have underestimated the power of this brand. I truly love reading testimonials like those that you've shared.
I'm making it a point to locate and purchase a bag of Kettle's Sea Salt & Vinegar chips. As a boy, I remember going to the county fair every year and buying French fries and pouring vinegar on them. Yum, yum. I can taste them now. Anyway, I suspect that I'd like these flavored chips better than the plain Sea Salt I tried.

Kettle chips are an acquired taste. There are enthusiastic fans who like the hardness and greasiness of the chips. It is sort of like beer, some people like ones that taste more bitter.


critical scholarship | XKV8R: The Official Blog of Robert R. Cargill, Ph.D.
I wrote to the director and cited the mission statement in the SBL's official history: "The object of the Society is to stimulate the critical investigation of the classical biblical literatures." The director informed me that in 2004 the SBL revised its mission statement and removed the phrase "critical investigation" from its official standards. Now the mission statement is simply to "foster biblical scholarship." So critical inquiry – that is to say, reason – has been deliberately deleted as a criterion for the SBL.
I agree with the good doctor from the University of California. The moment that critical scholarship is abandoned and fundamentalist interpretations of the Bible are entertained as equally authoritative, scholarship has lost its way. While the SBL should welcome all comers, its authority lies in its pursuit of academic excellence, not the appeasement of all points of view. For while the democratization of knowledge fostered by the Internet is a welcomed and beneficial advance in the accumulation of knowledge, the authority and credibility of scholarship comes from the training and expertise exercised in differentiating the credible from the problematic, the veritable from the sensational. The authority of scholars comes from the creation, cultivation, preservation, and dissemination of verifiable knowledge and critical scholarship, not from ecumenism or the sheer size of its membership. The SBL should embrace the critical method, not a popular membership, for after all, the SBL is a society, not a church, and the letters designate a conference of scholars, not an ecclesiastical order.

Mihai Ghimpu (ur. 19 listopada 1951 w Kiszyniowie) – mołdawski polityk i prawnik, przewodniczący Partii Liberalnej od 1998 do 2018, przewodniczący Parlamentu Republiki Mołdawii od 28 sierpnia 2009 do 28 grudnia 2010, pełniący obowiązki prezydenta Mołdawii od 11 września 2009 do 28 grudnia 2010.

Życiorys
Mihai Ghimpu urodził się w 1951. Ukończył prawo na Państwowym Uniwersytecie Mołdawskim w Kiszyniowie. Od 1978 do 1990 pracował jako prawnik w przedsiębiorstwach państwowych. W 1988 był jednym z założycieli Frontu Ludowego Mołdawii, przewodniczył komitetowi wykonawczemu tej organizacji. W latach 1990–1998 wchodził w skład Parlamentu Republiki Mołdawii. W 1998 Mihai Ghimpu został przewodniczącym Partii Reform (przemianowanej w 2005 na Partię Liberalną). Również w 1998 rozpoczął prowadzenie prywatnej praktyki adwokackiej. W 2007 został radnym rady miejskiej Kiszyniowa, a od 2007 do 2008 był jej przewodniczącym.

W wyniku wyborów z 5 kwietnia 2009 ponownie został wybrany do parlamentu, a jego partia zdobyła w sumie 15 mandatów. We wcześniejszych wyborach parlamentarnych z 29 lipca 2009, rozpisanych po tym jak parlament nie zdołał dokonać wyboru nowego prezydenta, Partia Liberalna osiągnęła ten sam rezultat, a jej lider został powtórne wybrany na deputowanego.

8 sierpnia 2009 wraz z liderami trzech pozostałych opozycyjnych partii politycznych, Vladem Filatem, Marianem Lupu oraz Serafimem Urecheanem, utworzył Sojusz na rzecz Integracji Europejskiej, koalicję, której celem było przejęcie władzy od Partii Komunistów Republiki Mołdawii.

28 sierpnia 2009 Mihai Ghimpu został wybrany na przewodniczącego Parlamentu Republiki Mołdawii. W głosowaniu poparło go 53 deputowanych z czterech partii opozycyjnych. Zobowiązał się do podejmowania wysiłków na rzecz budowy demokratycznego i praworządnego państwa w Republice Mołdawii, w którym respektowane byłyby prawa wszystkich obywateli, niezależnie od ich pochodzenia. Wyraził pewność, że Sojusz na rzecz Integracji Europejskiej zapewni jego krajowi dynamiczny rozwój oraz otworzy drogę do integracji z rodziną europejskich narodów.

11 września 2009 Vladimir Voronin przesłał do parlamentu swoją rezygnację z funkcji p.o. prezydenta Mołdawii. Zgodnie z konstytucją, stanowisko to objął z urzędu Mihai Ghimpu jako przewodniczący parlamentu. Parlament w przyjętej rezolucji potwierdził wybór lidera liberałów na stanowisko tymczasowego prezydenta i skierował ją celem zatwierdzenia do Sądu Konstytucyjnego.

17 września 2009 Sąd Konstytucyjny zatwierdził wybór przewodniczącego parlamentu na urząd p.o. prezydenta jako zgodny z prawem. Tego samego dnia Mihai Ghimpu desygnował Vlada Filata na stanowisko premiera Mołdawii.

28 grudnia 2010 na pierwszym posiedzeniu parlamentu po wyborach, w których Mihai Ghimpu uzyskał poselską reelekcję, deputowani nie dokonali wyboru nowego przewodniczącego izby, co zgodnie z prawem automatycznie skutkowało przejęciem obowiązków głowy państwa przez premiera Vlada Filata. 30 grudnia 2010 na nowego przewodniczącego parlamentu został wybrany Marian Lupu, który przejął także obowiązki prezydenta.

W wyborach w 2014 ponownie startował z kierowanej przez siebie Partii Liberalnej, uzyskując mandat poselski na kolejną kadencję. W 2016 kandydował w pierwszych bezpośrednich wyborach prezydenckich. W pierwszej turze głosowania otrzymał 1,8% głosów. W 2018 ustąpił z funkcji przewodniczącego PL, zastąpił go na tym stanowisku jego krewny Dorin Chirtoacă.

I set up a WordPress.com blog account around the beginning of January because I had heard increasingly more about WordPress since I began my job in the Search Engine Optimization industry. I wanted to create a personal portfolio website that I could use my developing SEO skills on, as well as publishing my writing about SEO, Social Media, and Book Publishing.
I quickly realized that WordPress.com was not for me, because you had to pay for every upgrade, to edit the CSS, to use a custom domain name (that I had already bought elsewhere), and to add plugins and widgets. It was not to be.
I decided to migrate my website to WordPress.org. Here's what happened, and also how you can solve the problems.
First, WordPress offers a great 5-minute Installation Guide that is pretty accurate and helpful. I suggest reading it first and reading the rest of this post if it does not help you.
After I signed up with Bluehost as my hosting provider and installed WordPress using SimpleScripts, I changed the nameservers over at my domain host (GoDaddy) to point to the WordPress nameservers (note: if you have multiple domains, make sure that you change the correct one. My first mistake.) When I went to load my new site, however, I was still accessing my old WordPress.com site instead of the new WordPress.org installation.
First, I deleted the domain name from my WordPress.com account. I had already set it up to forward to my WordPress.com URL. Even after I deleted the domain from WordPress.com, it still took about 30 minutes to propogate. I chose to take a shower.
Second, I uninstalled and reinstalled WordPress on Bluehost using SimpleScripts. They actually make it very easy. One note: Unless you want them to automatically generate you an account access username and password combination, click "Advanced Settings" and set your own.
Third, I set my GoDaddy nameservers back to the default. Once that change took effect, I was able to change them to the Bluehost default nameservers (ns1.bluehost.com and ns2.bluehost.com).
Questions: Have you encountered these issues before? What did you do to correct? What advice would you offer to someone self-hosting a website for the first time?
How did you delete your domain from the WordPress.com blog? The only option it gives me is to change the primary domain. Thanks for your help!
I don't *exactly* remember, but it probably was through the primary domain setting. Also, I am pretty sure that if you switch where the nameservers are pointing (this will be done wherever your domain is hosted), then your domain will not show up where it currently does on your .com WordPress site.
Hope this begins to help!
Thanks! I will do that instead. I'm a newbie in an unknown world trying to figure it out!!
Well keep at it, and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
Thanks I actually got it go yesterday. VERY simple once I knew what I was doing. Thanks for your help!


Wal-Mart introduces new options to take on Amazon, but is it better than Prime?
During the campaign, Donald Trump promised he could save Americans $300 billion every year, a sum larger than the cost of World War Two in today's dollars, by allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices directly with manufacturers. Republicans say Medicare, the government's program to cover medical care for older Americans, faces serious financial troubles in coming years.
Here's his statement announcing the plan.
Today, he acquiesced to them.
Even if Trump hadn't flip-flopped on that promise, it was a "preposterous" campaign promise, according to The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. They say the federal government spends less than $300 billion on drugs every year, making such savings mathematically impossible.
The problem is, we don't negotiate – we're the largest drug producer, and – we're the largest drug buyer in the world. We don't negotiate. We don't negotiate […] If we negotiated the price of drugs, Joe, we'd save $300 billion a year. I self-fund, I'm going to do it. These candidates are all controlled by the drug companies, the lumber companies, they're never going to do that. They're never going to do it.
