AquaLife Complete Water Conditioner- 4 oz - Treats 240 Gallons
-Replaces slime coat
-Removes chlorine, ammonia, and chloramines
-Detoxifies nitrite and heavy metals
-Adds essential electrolytes
Prior to AquaLife Complete, no single water conditioner did the best job of relieving stress, removing chlorine, removing ammonia, and could be used for emergency ammonia or nitrite removal. AquaLife Complete has changed all of that. Use the ultimate water conditioner available for your pets. Make no compromises.
AquaLife Complete is the most advanced all-in-one water conditioner and stress reliever on the market. Specifically formulated for the hobbyist with a serious commitment to keeping livestock thriving and healthy. AquaLife Complete is concentrated to deliver twice the results of other conditioners while reducing the chance of illnesses associated with stress.
DIRECTIONS: To fully condition water for (1) new aquariums or ponds, (2) before, after or during water additions, or (3) before adding new fish, amphibians, or plants, add 1 teaspoon (~5mL) to AquaLife Complete Water Conditioner per ten (10) gallons of water. For larger applications use the following dose: 1 fl oz per 60 gallons of water. For nitrite removal, dose as directed, then test water for nitrite. If nitrite persists, add a second dose and test again.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Perform regular water changes to keep the alkalinity (acid-neutralizing capacity) and pH stable. Use AquaLife Complete Water Conditioner as needed to eliminate and control ammonia at the regular dosage rate for each 1mg/L, or fraction thereof, of measured total ammonia or for each 0.85mg/L of measured ammonia-nitrogen. Use a salicylate (indophenol) type total ammonia test kit for testing. For dissolved-oxygen (DO) testing, use either a DO meter or an indigocarmine test. It may be used at the standard dose to stop or destroy permanganate treatments.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Do not use with permanganate-based or chlorite based treatments. Nessler's total ammonia test will give false high (or off scale) readings. Winkler dissolved oxygen test will give false, low (or zero) readings.
INGREDIENTS: electrolytes, buffers and a proprietary polymer formula in aqueous solution.

You should always trade with a reputable broker or exchange so you have the best tools to get you the best returns, which will help you save money, invest in your future and enjoy the good life, which is really important for anyone. It also helps you get the right advice about stocks!
Now, let’s go back to the topic of buying stocks, and the right broker to buy from!
What is A Good Stock Broker To Buy From?
How can we buy stocks? To buy a stock we need to make some sort of investment, and not all financial instruments like investment funds, bonds or stocks make this easy or easy for us.
What can a person invest in if they don’t know what a stock is? Well, a stock is basically a piece of paper that has the words “Stock” and “Index” written in the front and has a price tag on it, in the price.
These are the most popular stocks and ETFs to buy from when you’re a novice:
Cerberus Research Capital Inc. CFRA: A U.S. limited liability company that has been founded since 1995, operates as an investment dealer, managed mutual fund company, futures/options trading exchange and investment advisory organization (US-based). We believe Cerberus is the best and one of the easiest options to get in at this time. (Source: Wikipedia)
FTSE/HERE: This is a global company that was founded in 1946, and is headquartered in London. They are based on a globalized share listing.
GMC Inc. GCM: The biggest agricultural and agricultural services company in the world, based in France. They are a leading agribusiness company in the European Union. (Source: Wikipedia)
Oasis Financial Corp. OASUS: This financial services organization started in 1993 as an affiliate of an early private equity firm, as you can see from the image below. It is a US-based company that provides financial services that helps small and medium sized businesses manage their money. (Source: Wikipedia)
Weber International Corp. WEBER: This US based company focuses its activities in the energy and power sectors, as the image below shows. They have a lot of oil and natural gas operations in the U.S. and Canada. (Source: Wiki)
JPMorgan Chase & Co. JPM: The US bank started in 1866, the oldest banking house and largest investment bank in the

venerdì 31 marzo 2017
Accademia Italiana Salerno visited the University of Illinois Chicago
On Wednesday, March 29th, Francesca Romana Memoli, Director and Founder of Accademia Italiana in Salerno presented a seminar on the treasures of the Campania region in Southern Italy at the University of Illinois Chicago.
Dr. Memoli led discussions about the history and culture of the charming southern region. The presentation featured captivating videos and photographs of the beautiful sites of Campania: Pompeii, Positano, Salerno, Amalfi, Naples, and Paestum, focusing on Salerno city. Her presentation highlighted the rich history of Salerno, historic monuments in the region, and a typical Italian cuisine. Through language classes and cultural excursions, she explained how studying at Accademia Italiana and living in Salerno would be an ideal place for Study Abroad Programs while living an authentic Italian life.
The presentation ended with a ‘‘how much do you know about Campania?’’ and a 100% scholarship for a two-week Italian course in Salerno was given awarded to the winner, Cristina UIC student of prof. Chiara Fabbian.
Accademia Italiana and Dr. Memoli would like to thank the students of the University of Illinois Chicago who attended the presentation, as well as all the Italian Studies Department at UIC for hosting the event. A special thank goes to the Head of Italian Department prof. Chiara Fabbian, who promoted this seminar in cooperation with Italian instructor prof. Maria Iusco.

Do you see digital photography as a viable future? This is a very radical question given the digital marketing frenzy. Digital photography is my favorite thing about photography. But what about the future of digital photography? It is a difficult question to answer, and perhaps one that is loaded.
Film photography was never known for film photography. It was the standard. This standard was challenged by digital photography. I am curious if digital photography will become the standard, or remain the ugly sibling of photography.
It will remain the “poor cousin” of film photography, unless two things occur:
1. All digital cameras must be able to produce images that are comparable in quality to basic film cameras. They must end the debate between digital and film. They must not be able to distinguish between the two formats. While the most expensive digital cameras are coming close to this standard, point-and-shoot models can’t compete with their film counterparts. I believe that consumers demand that the quality of lower-end cameras improve, even in times of economic crisis. True photography is about the SLR, and I believe we are well on our way to competing with film cameras in terms of quality.
2. It is now a common belief that quality is more important than quantity. The thought process of taking a photo with film has almost disappeared. Digital images can be taken at lightning speed, which makes it difficult to capture good photography. The quality of images submitted for competitions, posted on forums, and displayed on blogs is a good example. This mindset shift and a greater appreciation for photography will be a boon for digital art.
How can we make digital photography synonymous with photography? Education and learning are my personal keys to success. Digital photography has transformed the face and nature of photography, just as digital publishing has transformed the face and culture of publishing.
You can find great learning materials in electronic format as either free education or at a reasonable price. It’s now affordable and simple to learn about photography, and how to improve it. To improve your images, you don’t need a diploma or expensive course. It is as easy as purchasing an eBook or electronic course. There are many companies that offer money-back guarantees, so there is little risk. It is easy to find information and to learn. It is important to learn photography, not just digital photography.
Film photography was viewed as an art form when it was first created. Therefore, much care was taken in its execution. This mindset was the foundation of film photography. It has remained largely an art form due to the high costs. It was practiced with care by even the common man.
Digital photography is a completely new way of looking at things. It has made art more affordable, easier and quicker. These three factors can lead to loss of technique, reduced quality, and diminished value. This can be seen in the millions of electronic images on DVDs, hard drives, and memory cards that are unappreciated and worthless.
This world is where the art of photography must find its place in the digital chaos. Digital is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It is now up to us to decide if it will rise to the occasion and be the new art form, or if it will be the one that causes the death of an old art form.

So, Free Will is in prep for release right now, with the typos and other nit-picky details being worked over, layout being done, etc. It’s a big step forward in the Antithesis Progression, and there are a lot of you out there who have been waiting patiently for the series to continue.
Some of you will get a sneak peak. You see, this is a big book. It ate up more pages, and more time, than I expected by an order of magnitude, and I’m eager to see it find a good home on the shelves and in the e-readers of all of you, including those of you who have drifted away in the meantime, intending to come back when the series continued.
To let people know Antithesis is back, we’re going to need publicity. Publicity means you! Some of you out there enjoy blogging, posting opinion pieces and reviews, etc., and you are the ones I need. Starting today, the first hundred of you that email me with the subject line “Free Will Ebook” will receive a free, pre-copyedits ebook version of Free Will (and a corrected version once the proofs are done).
In return for receiving this advance review copy, you promise to blog the book when you’ve finished reading it and, once the book is released to the general public in the next week or two, to post a copy or extract of your blog review in two of the following: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Goodreads, Kobo, Sony ebook store, Kobo, iBookstore. Those of you who feel enthusiastic enough about the book to post the review in all those places will be entered into a drawing. The four prizes in that drawing will be:
Spread the word!
Also, watch this space. There will be more announcements in the coming days about casting calls, a new Death Threats contest, and other goodies.

The first Working Group meeting of ATMO-ACCESS Task 6.4 took place on June, 16, 2022. The aim of this meeting was to co-design the forth-coming trans-national access to the research facilities of ATMO-ACCESS by public authorities.
Twenty three people attended the meeting, with the public sector being represented by 2 people from the Greek local and regional authorities. The main focus of the discussion were the needs that this pilot should address, spanning from source apportionment, urban hot-spots or episodes of air pollution, online and real-time information (incl. alarm systems) and sensor calibration. The representatives from the public authorities agreed that the portable instrumentation of ATMO-ACCESS facilities, as well as the virtual access to real-time data products are appealing for the cities under their responsibility.
This was the first of a series of meetings of this group, to be enriched with more organizations from the public sector and ultimately decide for an attractive and competitive TNA call early next year.

A lottery is a game in which people buy numbered tickets with the chance of winning a prize. It is similar to gambling but is governed by rules and regulations, unlike casino games.
A lottery can be used to raise money or give away prizes for a specific event. It has also been used to raise money for government projects, such as the construction of roads and museums.
Lotteries are a form of gambling, and they can be legal or illegal in different countries. They are a popular form of entertainment in some places, but they can be dangerous and addictive.
If you win a lottery, you’ll have to pay taxes on the amount you won. You may owe state income tax or sales tax on the money you receive. In addition, you may have to pay taxes on any interest that accrued while you owned the winning ticket.
The odds of winning a lottery are very small. The chance of winning a large sum of money is 1 in 18.9 million.
Buying a lottery ticket is an expensive way to gamble your money, and you should avoid it as much as possible. It is better to build up a savings account or a retirement fund, as these are the only ways you can be sure that your hard-earned money will last for many years.
In the United States, many state governments use lotteries to raise money. Several of the states that formed during the Revolutionary War had to resort to lottery sales to finance their projects, including a battery of guns for Philadelphia and rebuilding Faneuil Hall in Boston.
A lottery can also be used to select students for public school placements, or it can be used to award college scholarships. A lottery system is usually used in these cases because there are a limited number of spots available, and it is a method of ensuring that each student has a fair chance of being selected for a position.
Some people believe that life is a lottery, because everything depends on luck. They say things like “It’s a lottery when it comes to finding true love” or “Life is a lottery, isn’t it?”
Lotteries have always been used as a way to raise money for government projects. They are simple to organize and are widely popular.
The odds of winning a prize depend on the amount of money that is spent on tickets, as well as the size of the jackpot or prize pool. A smaller jackpot or prize pool may be less appealing to bettors, and so ticket sales will decrease. On the other hand, a large jackpot or prize pool will increase ticket sales, because a larger number of people will be interested in winning it.
Most states require that a percentage of the money that is sold in lottery tickets be paid out to the winners. This reduces the amount that is available for other purposes, such as education, but it also makes lottery sales more transparent, as consumers will know exactly what tax rate they are paying.

What started out as a grassroots animal welfare effort in 2005 has now grown to become an important organization dedicated to a watchdog role and promotion of humane treatment of cats and dogs and all animals.
The organization, “A Time 4 Paws (AT4P), is a no kill nonprofit striving to assist and work with other animal groups, assisting with shelter, transportation for adoption of animals and promotion of animal welfare.
Volunteers always help non-profit agencies run smoother and AT4P is no different. Volunteers are used in many ways Volunteers help at the adoption facility, with building projects, maintenance projects, publicity, care of dogs and cats housed at center, purchasing and transporting supplies. Volunteers also help with food, transport of animals to vet appointments, assist staff with off-site publicity events, foster care, supply amenity donations, assist in writing grants to obtain income needed to maintain and make needed facility improvements.
Volunteers help staff the thrift store on a regular and some assist on an intermittent basis.
Tasks include processing incoming goods, taking recycling to the proper locations, yard maintenance, general plumbing and maintenance repairs upon need.
Previous experience working with animals is always a plus and helpful to the animals, the organization and the volunteers. Friendly people who are OK with flexible scheduling and/or committing to certain project schedules that are not so flexible are valuable.
Persons who are familiar with and endorse the no kill philosophy are welcome. AT4P requires volunteers pets to be spayed or neutered unless the vet says they can’t be. Dogs can’t be chained 24/7. And we are a smoke free work place.
Time and training required depends on the job to be undertaken, whether short-term or long-term and whether or not specific skills are needed. These skills could be building, painting, cleaning, organizing, communicating and/or education.
There will always be ongoing goals based upon improvement needs, so there is always a need for volunteers The volunteer program for AT4P is perfect for students wishing to fulfill the requirements to receive the Tennessee Promise scholarships. Youth volunteers must be with a person 21 or over and have their own transportation.
Mickey Trimble smiles as she pets one of the cats housed at the AT4P adoption center on Cook Rd. The organization operates a number of additional programs aimed at helping people keep their pets instead of surrendering them and building or donating houses for animals kept outside. Volunteer applications are available via email by contacting AT4P at [email protected] or calling (931) 787-0610.
AT4P is open seven days a week at the adoption center hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.weekdays and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on weekends. Soon to be open late one day per week. The number to call is (931) 456-6906. Thrift store hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on SaturdayVolunteer applications are available via email by contacting AT4P at [email protected]
Applications can also be picked up at the thrift store or adoption center.
AT4P — in the beginning — consisted of two people, the president and founder Karen McMeekin, and the current vice-president, Teresa Williams. Before becoming a 501c3 non profit, the organization assisted the local municipal shelter in daily activities as volunteers.
Later AT4P launched a transport program to move dogs to northern states that at the time were believed to have less homeless dogs available for adoption. McMeekin, driving her truck and horse trailer, would make monthly runs to Ohio and New Jersey and bring dogs to either accepting shelters or preadoptive homes.
After two years of this, McMeekin learned of the no kill philosophy of animal sheltering. Attending conferences in Washington D.C.; Kanab, UT; Austin, TX; and Atlanta, GA, she learned how progressive municipal shelters were changing the lives and outlook of animal sheltering by embracing this philosophy and implementing the programs necessary to stop the killing.
McMeekin is now a certified humane investigator and is trained through the Univ of Missouri Law enforcement training extension. Her education and experience in animal rescue have prepared her to assist the community and law enforcement in the area of cruelty and neglect.
Most animals at the local shelter and many across the country have been killed due to “ lack of space.”
“We believe there is a successful way to change that and it has been proven to work,” said McMeekin. “Transporting by the masses to other states and into accepting shelters isn’t one of them.”
McMeekin and other no kill leaders believe that it’s not solving the problem by taking animals to other locations and that it is a policy of some shelters to raise their live release numbers and lower their kill numbers.
“After years of failure trying to share the philosophy with the county shelter directors , and how to embrace the parts of the no kill equation we decided to open our own adoption center,” said McMeekin. In 2010 A Time 4 Paws opened their first adoption center. In June 2016 McMeekin bought the old humane society/city shelter located at Cook Rd. where homeless animals were housed. McMeekin and crew added dog walking trails and three indoor/outdoor catteries and several exercise areas. This was completely funded by donations.
AT4P and the programs created to improve the “save rate” at the local shelter have been recognized in the community. AT4P has created programs to assist residents in keeping their pets instead of seeking to surrender them, including a pet food pantry at Kroger, Food City and Pet Sense stores. AT4P is also adoption partners with the corporation Pet Sense. This is just one example of the way AT4P is making a difference for animals and people in our area.
Other programs include House 4 Hounds (building and donating housing to outdoor animals and Fences 4 Furry Friends (building and installing fences for chained dogs). AT4P has also created a task force to work on lobbying the state for better laws and local ordinances.
Low cost spay and neuter programs through grants are part of what AT4P has created. They do not take in strays, protocol allows all strays to enter the city/county operated and funded municipal shelter located on East Lane. Appointments are made for surrender to their no kill facility. Entrance protocols must be met before entrance, but the security in knowing the animal won’t be killed due to lack of space or some other reason helps concerned citizens. “Our goal is not to be needed” that sounds odd but if the local community, and government would embrace the no kill philosophy , we could be used as providers of parts to the no kill equation rather than as an intake facility.”
The Center is open seven days a week, offering visitors the opportunity to spend time with the animals, in a clean, friendly atmosphere getting to know the potential adoptees. Many visitors are unable to adopt or are trying to find a way to ease the loneliness of personal losses. Visitors say that interacting with the animals gives them some comfort, peace and happiness.
A Time 4 Paws Thrift Store helps generate funds for the cost of operating the organization and is instrumental in helping to fulfill their mission. With the public’s continued monthly financial support, items being donated daily, and volunteer time, McMeekin believes AT4P can succeed in saving lives, improving the laws that govern how animals are treated, and finding forever homes for the animals in their care.
AT4P will continue working to create a nokill community where all animals are safe and homeless pets are cared for in a non life-threatening environment at the local municipal shelter.
Due in large part to the efforts of A Time 4 Paws, along with those of other animal welfare organizations, the annual animal intake at the municipal shelter has decreased by approximately 50 percent since 2005 when A Time 4 Paws was established.
To anonymously report animal abuse (after contacting local animal control to report it), citizens can call (931) 4abuse-2 or (931) 4228732.

Beauty and the Beast is the adaptation of a story by Madame de Villeneuve. Published anonymously in 1740 as La Jeune Américaine et les contes marins, it paints a portrait of Belle, a joyful and touching young girl who falls in love with the Beast, a cursed creature in search of love and redemption. In 1760, a condensed children’s version was published. It was from this version that Jean Cocteau and then Walt Disney drew their famous adaptations. Overshadowed, the original version by Madame de Villeneuve has never been adapted for the screen… until now!

This is the gorgeous Cholla fireplace design. This corner design will add that extra something to your space without sacrificing too much room. With a total width of 11'-6" and depth of 65", this is a lot of fireplace in a small footprint. The arched firebox is 40" wide with matching arched 20" wide storage voids set on a 45 degree angle. The seating extends the entire width of the structure and the shelves over the voids are approximately 40" tall. You can build the structure with the angled chimney or with upper shelves as pictured. The total height of the fireplace is 8'-2". Add the perfect veneer to this fireplace to make it a one of a kind. This design requires some block cutting for the angles.

De Dijk is observing a sabbatical year in 2013, so Meijers is releasing his 2nd solo album: The Secret Year (the first was Catching Ophelia, 2009/V2). He will be touring throughout the year. The album, recorded in Brussels’ ICP Studios, contains 10 self-written and -produced songs. Meijers chose to retain a raw, unpolished production sound, which betters reflects the emotion and spontaneity of the studio performances.
Here's the great, explosive album cover:
Here's also one of the tracks on the album for you to enjoy:

We are a little obsessed with burlap and canvas around here, with rolls of it coming and going all the time, as we convert them into so many different items. We can go all natural and we love our color, either way you had us at big fabric roll. Each roll can pack on 25-100 yards of gorgeous fabric that long to become something oh so special. As we hoist them onto the table ready to go under the knife, they are ready to be transformed into a tote bag, apron, makeup bags, zipper pockets, eyeglass cases, purses, pillow, table runner, flower, scrapbook, banner, chef’s hat, stocking, tree skirt…..the possibilities are endless.
We love that each item is design and stitched right here in our Springdale, Arkansas warehouse. Somedays we spend making thousands of one item and others we spend making many different items that go in many different directions. We love all the project big and small. One our recent favorite projects was making burlap pennants for the Joe Dirt 2 movie party. They were sewn, quickly shipped off to an artist to be painted and shipping to LA for the party. We don’t mind being behind the scenes, under foot or covering what we need to cover.
We thought it would be fun to share with you some of the transformations our blank items have made when put in the hands of amazing artists, bloggers, crafters, mixed media artists, monogramers, party planners, brides, screen printers, makers….and the list goes on and on.
1. Artist and Blogger, Lucy at Craftberry Bush painted this amazing butterfly tote bag. Stop by craftberrybush to see show she does it. Our totes come in many shapes and sizes, long handles and short ones, fat and skinny, gussets and without, canvas and burlap or mixed and any other combination you can think of. You can paint directly on them or paint these special butterflies and add them to your tote. We offer a wide range of blank burlap and canvas totes that are ready to look this cool.
2. Lifestyle Blogger, Jennie Larsen created this Gold and Red Christmas Entry where our blank holiday stockings came in handy, she added a few simple dots of paint to the burlap stockings and they are a perfect fit. Our blank stockings come in a range of sizes, shapes and fabric all with fun, rustic exposed edges giving them a fresh, trendy look. Monogram the cuffs, stencil the stocking or screen print one for each member of the family.
3. Crafter: What was once a simple blank apron, JoAnne Doshier hand-crafted into an amazing apron filled with fun textures, shapes, stitches, paint, fringe and color. Blank aprons come in all shapes and sizes from toddler to adult and filled with pockets or without in canvas and denim. This apron was embellished with Canvas Corp’s Farmhouse Printed Fabric Panel and lots of amazing avocado and red accents.
4. Mixed Media Artist – Nathalie Kalbach created this amazing pillow on our Square Blank Pillows – they come in a range of sizes 12×12, 14×14, 18×18 and 20×20. These blank pillow forms are ready be be decorated your way and then you can slip in a pillow form, slip it over an existing pillow or fill with Poly-fil. The 10 oz canvas is a great quality to stand up to all that a mixed media artist has to give from gesso and paints to papers, salt treatments and lots of embellishments. You can also decoupage your art onto the the canvas. We do have to say we don’t recommend washing a beautiful pillow like this once decorated.
5. Monogrammer: Michelle of Miss Lala’s added this special monogram to a simple child’s apron and wow it looks like a million bucks. We have a wide range of unique blanks that are perfect for names, initials, monograms or logos. All items are made from 10 ounce canvas and are 100% cotton. The high quality fabric makes these monogrammed perfect for gift giving, business gifts or to sell in your shop. What a fun way way to show off your logo, your design or your style with a range of embroidered product.
6. Party Planner: The Canvas Corp Brands Crew put this tasty set up together to show off something unique and different to add to you party decor. Try anything from hand-painted pennants or table toppers to personalized wine wraps made from our printed fabric panels or wine bags. We offer products in a wide range of themes from baby to wedding and from wine tasting to a garden party. Customize your decor a range of canvas and burlap items that can be designed to match any theme and accent them with coordinating themed product.
7. Brides/Wedding Planners: Customized Wedding Decor is simple with the wide range of blanks we have to offer. From monogrammed table runners to seat backs to handmade tussy mussies (flower cones) to screen printed totes for the bridal party… You can have your wedding, your way – add your special touch.
Here, one of our team members, Erin, turned our burlap into an amazing aisle runner for her wedding. It ended up being the icing on the cake for this outdoor ceremony. We can sell large quantities of bulk burlap or create custom items for the wedding such a totes, aprons or more. Keep in mind for custom orders we need 48 pieces per item.
8. Maker/Screen Printer: Screen printing looks amazing on natural canvas and looks super vintage on burlap – they both work well for screen printing and look oh so good. Sally by Sea one of our Makers creates these amazing nautical themed pillows by screen printing her designs onto range of pillow sizes and shapes. The same designs are perfect on totes, aprons, runners, placemats and more.
Add your art or create screen printed items with your logo for give away or sell them in your store. We love being a part of the Renegade Craft Fair where these totes trail with the vendors who sell at the fair. We love to see all the creativity that one show can offer.
10. Artist: Sara Torbit of The Rosy Life Blog created these amazing placemats with a touch of paint, some paper, printed fabric and sewing machine – you can create your art right onto the surfaces or you can transfer your art by screen printing or direct to garment processes onto the surfaces. Simple and fresh designs like this are easy to duplicate and great for your Etsy Shop or table at a maker fair.
We offer canvas in 4 different weights all in natural canvas color, we also offer a variety of colors in cotton and poly/cotton fabrics. When it comes to burlap we carry a few different grades as we call it, one that is much more natural in look and feel and another that is tighter weave that also comes in a ray of colors. While our fabric selection is pretty focused we are always open to trying something new.
A good week at the warehouse leaves many empty tubes where fabric once roamed. We don’t through much away, even the tiniest fabric prices are transported into scrap packs and these cardboard rolls are recycled, there may be a bit of burlap dust on the floor, but that is about it.
Many of the items in this feature our part of our everyday line of blank products and we also offer custom blank items with reasonable minimums. We can help you find blanks to place your art upon or help you design something new that becomes your art or you can add your art to. If you are looking for a turnkey supplier, we can screen print your art onto any of our blank items. For inquiries email us today at [email protected] or give us a call at 866.376.9961. You can view our entire collection on our shop.canvascorpbrands.com. You will see the retail prices, let us know if you are interested in setting up a wholesale account and that will give you full access to pricing online.

Thumbs up for Little Black Goes to the Circus by Walter Farley. Children’s.
My first love among Walter Farley’s books is the one in the Black Stallion series that has the extraterrestrials. (And there’s your quiz of the day: which one is it?) But his illustrated book Little Black is dang cute, and when I found the sequel, of course I had to read it.

I learned a lot about who are the most helpful and nicest people when I was a missionary. The lesson applies directly to your job search. Who should you ask for help?
Newly arrived as a missionary in Murcia, Spain I got to start teaching some of the richest people in the region. It was not due to me. My partner had been there for months and had started teaching one company president. He introduced us to other hard charging business leaders. Every single one of them was very nice to us. They listened politely and either sent us off with a referral or heartfelt thanks for talking with them.
That was my first experience dealing with truly rich and powerful people. I found out that the people who can do the most for you are generally the nicest too. They help you even when they get nothing out of it. In this case they thought we were wrong but appreciated our enthusiasm, so they gave us what assistance they could. I liked it so much I looked for ways to call on business leaders in other cities.
In Seville, Spain there is a small group of condominiums that are pretty nice. Many of them have a maid or a butler in a uniform straight out of the movies. They have some money, but are not rich. They appear well to do. They don’t lead or own companies. They are the ones who think appearances and posturing will get them promotions. Help someone lower than them? What a laughable thought! What’s in it for them?
The people living there are the rudest people I met in Spain. And you know what? They aren’t going anywhere. The only place you get to the top by being cut-throat, mean, rude and despicable is in the movies. They got to where they were because many people helped them, but they had forgotten to help others. They were stuck, living lives of ostentatious desperation.
That small enclave was the only place I met people like that in Spain. My conclusion may well have been off base about those particular people. However, I have noticed that the most helpful people rise to the top. So guess where I start my networking? Where do I go for help? To the top. That’s where the nicest people are.
Something To Do Today
Are you afraid to network with the people who can and will help you the most?
Tomorrow: I really saw a crab do this!
Later: How to network at the top.

Month: May 2016
Posted by Retail Attractions Blog on May 24, 2016 in Blog | No Comments
Successful retail deals require an abundant supply of patience. Even under optimal conditions, it can still take a long time for all the pieces to fall into place. Closing a retail deal that works for all parties often requires months of planning and negotiation, and it can take years for a community to realize their full retail development vision.
Months of Planning
Planning for retail development is a vital step, and it’s one that takes time. While trying to speed things up is tempting, you really don’t want to cut corners in the stage where you and the retailers work out a mutually beneficial partnership.
Take Enid, Oklahoma as an example. This is one of the towns where Retail Attractions is currently working. Talking about the retail deals going on in Enid, Rickey says, “We’re about to go to the International Council of Shopping Centers Convention in May … and we will be talking, out there, about 2017 retail deals. That’s the thing, the retailers that you’re seeing come … were deals that we’ve been working on for 24 to 36 months prior to you actually seeing them coming to town.”
The more complex a deal is, the longer it will take to work out. If you’re working with a consultant like Retail Attractions, we can be working on the deals for months before you have to sign contracts with the retailers. Without a consultant, your community will have to work all this out on your own.
Years in Development
Even with optimal conditions, it can still take several years after a deal is signed for the retail development to become a reality. When Rickey was working in Owasso, Oklahoma shortly after 2002, new retail was flooding the city and everything was perfect for retail growth. Even so, it took ten years to fully retail the market.
Rickey says, “One of the most frustrating parts of my work is the job of educating city councilors about how long it takes. When you see a new retail deal under construction somewhere, you can know without a doubt that, even with an accelerated effort and timeline, some poor soul has been working hard to make that deal a reality for at least a couple of years in most cases.”
Deadlines and expectations for project development need to remain realistic. Working with a qualified company like Retail Attractions helps move things along as smoothly as possible, but it’s still not going to happen overnight.
Speeding Things Up
While you don’t have much control over how quickly your retail partners are able to move forward with development, you can at least make sure nothing on your end slows the process down. You’re already on our blog, and that’s a great place to get started. Here, you can learn about ways to market your community, get information about retail development incentives, and find other information you need to know about holding up the public side of a retail development partnership.
Retail Attractions can also help you work through the planning process and development stage of retail growth in your city. We’ll be there to consult with you every step of the way. With our experience and contacts in the retail development industry, we already have a head-start in moving your community through a successful retail development project. Contact us today to talk with Rickey about your community project or get more details about how we can help you.

Vision is the starting point for all successful projects. When you’re developing a vision that will carry your community into a public/private partnership to support retail development and economic growth, it’s essential that the vision is shared. Investors don’t want to partner with a community that can’t agree on their goals.
If your community can’t generate a cohesive vision before heading into public/private partnerships, then there’s a good chance your retail development goals are doomed to failure. Recognizing this gives you an opportunity to impress potential partners by creating a shared vision from the very beginning of your city’s plans for growth and expansion.
Ideally, your vision will involve everyone who has a stake in the positive outcome of this potential partnership. This includes residents, property owners, homeowners associations, media outlets, colleges, hospitals, churches, and other stakeholders.
Make sure you don’t leave out people and groups that are initially opposed to the community’s proposed vision. Building consensus and addressing concerns is a key step in the process of vision-building if that vision is to be shared by the entire community.
Get the media on your side early in the vision-building process. An alliance with local media outlets makes it easier to get your message out and cultivate transparency during the planning stages. Media will continue to play a key role in publicizing the vision and keeping it fresh in people’s minds after your community has decided on a final version of your vision plan.
City visions often include long-term plans that can span several local political administrations. This means that establishing a collective vision and creating community buy-in for the project is essential for sustaining the vision long-term.
As your community develops a shared vision, remember to keep the practical side of things in mind. A vision by itself isn’t enough – you also need a plan for implementing your vision. This is where you can really start focusing on what your community hopes to get out of a public/private partnership and what you can offer your investors.
Use public hearings, news releases, visioning exercises and other tools to keep stakeholder and area residents in the loop about the vision you’re developing. Make sure you specify the scale of projects included in the vision and let people know exactly what’s going to happen. A shared vision will start to collapse if people feel blindsided or misinformed.
Retail Attractions can assist with generating an honest assessment of your city’s strengths and weaknesses. We know what investors are looking for and can help you with demographic analysis and strategic planning you’ll need to create an implementable vision before entering into a partnership to foster economic development.

well, ok, one use.
That’s more like it! I always thought maids couldn’t actually play snooker, but to use a snooker table as a place to cane them – that’s a proper use of a snooker table!
Indeed P L Richards … though I can think of another use for a helpless maid on a snooker table 🙂

On November 19, 1863 President Lincoln addressed a gathering at the site of the most devastating battle in American history to dedicate a Soldiers’ National Cemetery. Just four month prior, 51,000 troops were killed or injured during a three day fight between Union and Confederate forces in and around the small Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg. Tactically, the Union victory checked the rebel offensive (aimed at defeating the Army of the Potomac and forcing the United States government to sue for peace). Strategically, Gettysburg laid bare the Confederate army’s inability to win a war of attrition, and served a crushing blow to the South’s aspirations of independence.
Lincoln spoke for about two minutes. The brevity of the speech stands in stark contrast to the impact and legacy of the words he chose.
As noted by historians, the Gettysburg Address “…is thought by many today to be the most eloquent articulation of the democratic vision ever written.” (history.com)
The Gettysburg Address
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Swedish Realist Painter, 1853-1919
Swedish painter, illustrator and printmaker. He came from a poor family and studied (1866-76) at the Konstakademi in Stockholm, supporting himself throughout this period. From 1871 to 1878 he contributed illustrations to the comic journal Kaspar and the Ny illustrerad tidning. From 1875, for several decades, he was a prolific book illustrator, his most renowned work in this field being his drawings for Föltskärns beröttelser ('The Barber-surgeon's tales'; pubd 1883-4) by Zacharius Topelius, and the Rococo-inspired watercolours for the Samlade skaldeförsök ('Collected attempts at poetry'; pubd 1884) by the 18th-century Swedish author Anna Maria Lenngren.

Tegernsee, Bavaria died April 29, 1750, Mannheim, Palatinate) Bavarian architects and decorators. After studying in Rome (1711 C 13), Cosmas Damian became a prolific fresco painter, and his brother, Egid Quirin, became a sculptor and stuccoist. They developed the effects of dramatic lighting and illusionism originated by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Andrea Pozzo. Working as a team, they produced magnificent illusionistic decoration in ecclesiastical buildings, combining dramatic lighting and colour. Their works are notable for their profound and dramatic intensity of religious feeling. The brothers became the principal late Baroque exponents of illusionist decoration in religious architecture. Their most notable collaboration is the church of St. John Nepomuk in Munich Peale, Raphaelle
American Painter, 1774-1825
Painter, son of Charles Willson Peale. His mother was Rachel Brewer Peale. He studied painting with his father and assisted him in the museum. Raphaelle began to paint portraits professionally in 1794, but poor patronage in Philadelphia forced him to travel in the South and New England, taking silhouettes with the physiognotrace and painting portraits in oil and miniature. From about 1815 onwards, bouts of alcoholism and gout inhibited his progress. He turned to painting still-lifes, but these sold for small amounts.

Farming as well as lumber are actually both sturdy lasting expenditures. Transforming your farming procedure with agroforestry strategies can increase revenues as well as yields while shielding top soil, wildlife habitation, as well as water top quality. Flinn Managing Director Agriculture Industry
Marion Region has a selection of terrain and ground styles with varying levels of agrarian capability. For the areas characterized by both a combination of farming as well as rainforest lands a Farm/Timber designation as well as zone is actually applied. Luke Robert Flinn Web Developer
Acquiring forest is an excellent technique to gain income, transform a portfolio, and secure versus rising cost of living. This type of real property uses an one-of-a-kind return, given that the lumber and property components cherish in value in time. Capitalists can easily also gather the plants on their home to produce periodic cash yields.
In addition, timberland offers capitalists a tax obligation benefit given that financing gains treatment is accessible on harvesting purchases after the first year of possession, and funding interest is actually generally insurance deductible. In addition, lumber expenditures possess low relationships along with bonds and also shares, and a good connection along with inflation.
Forest expenditures could be created by means of direct purchases of forest property, or even forest REITs (real property investment company). The last deal investors a chance to take part in a strongly diversified hardwood as well as farming profile with lesser volatility than the stock exchange.
The secret to excellence in forest trading is actually calculating the goals of the financier. Hardwood could be sold to generate a consistent earnings, or the land might be actually used for relaxation or to cultivate other plants. The best tactic is actually to locate a balance in between assets and also entertainment usage, as each objective can easily add various advantages to the investment collection.
As need for sustainable items continues to raise, forest is actually a popular expenditure possibility that provides appealing long-term returns. Also, timberlands offer measurable climate and also sustainability benefits, as well as a stable hedge versus rising cost of living.

Farms that possess wood on their property can utilize zoning to safeguard them coming from non-compatible tasks, like house web sites that conflict with the long-lasting development of the rainforest.

Keeping USA Farmland in the Hands of American Farmers as well as Ranchers
United States field is the base of the farming field. It’s an indispensable aspect of our country’s economic situation as well as a powerful financial investment in the future. Some stress that foreign ownership of U.S. field could possibly threaten the country’s food items safety.
In 2019, the overall stated acreage of foreign-held agriculture land in the United States was 35.2 thousand acres, or 2.7 percent of all confidentially hosted field. The people performs not have a full photo of the international companies buying farmland, as USDA files simply report the amount of land owned through each body, certainly not the individual managers of that land.
Several young and also hopeful planters deal with higher barricades to access in the farming business, specifically when it concerns buying property. This could be aggravated due to the reality that the majority of ranches operate on notable financial debt, which often makes it hard to break even in times of financial dryness. In addition, folks who focus on farms have high costs of stress-related illness.
In action, a number of bills have been actually launched to increase the oversight of field purchases through overseas facilities. Most of these proposals have actually died in board.
Always Keeping USA Woodlands in the Palms of United States Foresters
Woodland farming is an agroforestry process that can aid you expand your income, raise the market value of your property, and use less animals habitat. It includes thinning an existing rainforest to enable the most effective cover trees to continue to generate timber, while supplying best expanding health conditions for understory plants such as berries and also mushrooms. NRCS offers woods farming help systems across the nation.
In the woods of the Northwest, American foresters have actually must experience troubles that were not found in Europe: rainforest fires which destroyed whole areas; a lack of clear eco-friendly past which prevented any kind of clear reading of a stand or even resolution of its response to treatment; an excellent range of environment, height, and ground; the interspersion of private woods amongst government-owned ones; the need for various experiment stations which would certainly operate closely along with the rainforest company in every location of the country; and an extremely multitude of varieties to analyze as well as compare. These realities as well as the authentic investigation approaches utilized by American forestation have created outcomes of fantastic importance for potential medical forestation.
The option of a control unit – a forest which is going to continue to provide a certain quantity of lumber for the support of a settlement deal, mill laborers, and also loggers – provides another problem in these regions. It is necessary to take into consideration, in making a decision the monitoring device, privately had woodland which is actually interspersed with condition woodlands and also can, therefore, be mixed with them.
Timber may be sold to create a constant income, or even the property may be used for entertainment or to cultivate various other plants. Farms that have hardwood on their property can easily use zoning to guard them coming from non-compatible tasks, such as property internet sites that contrast with the long-lasting growth of the woods.
Rainforest farming is actually an agroforestry practice that may assist you transform your earnings, improve the market value of your land, and also use less wildlife environment.

|History and company information||
The forerunner of Omega was founded at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848 by 23-year-old Louis Brandt, who assembled key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen. He sold his watches from Italy to Scandinavia by way of England, his chief market. After Louis Brandt's death in 1879, his two sons Louis-Paul and César, troubled by irregular deliveries of questionable quality, abandoned the unsatisfactory assembly workshop system in favour of in-house manufacturing and total production control.
Due to the greater supply of manpower, communications and energy in Biel/Bienne, the enterprise moved into a small factory in January 1880, then bought the entire building in December. Two years later the company moved into a converted spinning-factory in the Gurzelen area of Biel/Bienne, where its headquarters are still situated today.
Their first series-produced calibres, Labrador and Gurzelen, as well as the famous Omega calibre of 1894, would ensure the brand's marketing success.
Louis-Paul and César Brandt both died in 1903, leaving one of Switzerland's largest watch companies — with 240,000 watches produced annually and employing 800 people — in the hands of four young people, the oldest of whom, Paul-Emile Brandt, was not yet 24.
Brandt was the great architect and builder of Omega. His influence would be felt over the next half-century. The economic difficulties brought on by the First World War would lead him to work actively from 1925 toward the union of Omega and Tissot, then to their merger in 1930 into the group SSIH, Geneva.
Under Brandt's leadership and Joseph Reiser's from 1955, the SSIH Group continued to grow and multiply, absorbing or creating some fifty companies, including Lemania, manufacturers of the most famous Omega chronograph movements. By the seventies, SSIH had become Switzerland's number one producer of finished watches and number three in the world..
Weakened by the severe monetary crisis and recession of 1975 to 1980, SSIH was bailed out by the banks in 1981. During this period, Seiko expressed interest in acquiring Omega, but nothing came out of the talks.
Switzerland's other watch making giant Allgemeine Schweizerische Uhrenindustrie AG (ASUAG - supplier of a large range of Swiss movements and watch assemblers) was in economic difficulty. It was the principal manufacturer of Ébauche (unfinished movements) and owner, through their sub-holding company GWC (General Watch Co), of various other Swiss watch brands including Longines, Rado, Certina and Mido.
After drastic financial restructuring, the R&D departments of ASUAG and SSIH merged production operations at the ETA complex in Granges. The two companies completely merged forming ASUAG-SSIH, a holding company, in 1983.
Two years later this holding company was taken over by a group of private investors led by Nicolas Hayek. Renamed SMH, Société de Microélectronique et d'Horlogerie, this new group over the next decade proceded to become one of the top watch producers in the world. In 1998 it became the Swatch Group, which now manufactures Omega and other brands such as Blancpain, Swatch, and Breguet.
Movements and the co-axial escapement
In 1999, with the successful own development of Calibre 2500, Omega made history by introducing the first mass-produced watch incorporating the co-axial escapement — invented by English watchmaker George Daniels. Considered by many to be one of the more significant horological advances since the invention of the lever escapement, the co-axial escapement functions with virtually no lubrication, thereby eliminating one of the shortcomings of the traditional lever escapement. Through using radial friction instead of sliding friction at the impulse surfaces the co-axial escapement significantly reduces friction, theoretically resulting in longer service intervals and greater accuracy over time.
On January 24, 2007 Omega unveiled its new Calibres 8500 and 8501, two co-axial (25,200 bph) movements created exclusively from inception by Omega.
Omega watches in space exploration
All subsequent manned NASA missions also used this handwound wristwatch. NASA started selecting the chronograph in the early 60s and automatic chronograph wristwatches were not available until 1969.
However all the instrument panel clocks and time-keeping mechanisms in the spacecraft on those space missions were Bulova Accutrons with tuning fork movements, because at the time NASA did not know how well a mechanical movement would work in zero gravity.
First watch on the moon
The "Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph" was the first watch on the Moon, worn by "Buzz" Aldrin. This watch is now believed lost. Aldrin mentions in his book Return to Earth that when donating several items to the Smithsonian Institution, his Omega was one of the few things that was stolen from his personal effects.
In 2007, to mark the 50th anniversary of the Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph, the Omega company unveiled the commemorative Speedmaster Professional Chronograph Moonwatch. The watch had the distinctive features of the first hand-winding Omega Speedmaster introduced in 1957. It was sold in an edition of 5,957.
Omega is currently in a lawsuit against wholesaler Costco over grey market imports of Omega watches that challenges the legality of the first-sale doctrine with regards to international imports, Omega v. Costco. This lawsuit has been granted certiorari by the Supreme Court of the United States.
Sponsorship, product placement, advertising, and sport
Omega has been associated with James Bond movies since 1995. That year, Pierce Brosnan took over the role of James Bond and began wearing the Omega Seamaster Quartz Professional (model 2541.80.00) in the movie GoldenEye. In all later films, Brosnan wore an Omega Seamaster Professional Chronometer (model 2531.80.00). The producers wanted to update the image of the fictional "super-spy" to a more distinctly sophisticated "Euro" look.
Another possible reason for the change from the Rolex Submariner that Bond had previously worn was a change in the business environment surrounding modern high-profile films and product placement. Omega was eager to participate in high profile co-promotions/product placement opportunities, especially the James Bond franchise, to further its brand image/awareness. It accomplished this by supplying products and finance (something that the conservative Rolex company avoids, presumably because it sees no benefit for itself).
For the 40th anniversary of James Bond (2002) a commemorative edition of the watch was made available model 2537.80.00 (10,007 units). The watch is identical to the model 2531.80.00 except the blue watch dial had a 007 logo inscribed across it and also machined into the caseback. The band also had 007 inscribed on the clasp.
Daniel Craig, the current James Bond of Casino Royale, and Quantum of Solace also wears the Omega Seamaster: the Seamaster Planet Ocean (model 2900.50.91) in the first part Casino Royale, and in the latter part (from travelling to Montenegro), and even goes so far as to mention Omega by name when questioned by Vesper Lynd. In connection with the launch of the film, Omega released an 007-special of the Professional 300M, featuring the 007-gun logo on the second hand and the rifle pattern on the watch face, this being a stylized representation of the gunbarrel sequence of Bond movies.
Omega released a second James Bond limited edition watch in 2006. This was a Seamaster Planet Ocean model with a limited production of 5007 units. The model is similar to what Craig wears earlier on in the film; however, it has a small orange colored 007 logo on the second hand, an engraved caseback signifying the Bond connection, and an engraved 007 on the clasp. In the newest movie, Quantum of Solace, Craig wears the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean with a black face and steel braclet (42 mm version). Another limited edition was released featuring the checkered "PPK grip" face with the Quantum of Solace logo over it.

For the second time in recent months, Communications Minister Helen Coonan has found herself in the awkward position of trying to defend the merits of specific technologies.
Coonan argued that the government had anticipated that the porn filter announced by the Prime Minister last week would be cracked, eventually but must have been shocked by how quickly it was. On Friday, a year ten student found a workaround in thirty minutes, and defeated the subsequent update in forty more. Nevertheless, the government stands by the software it chose.
Similarly, when the Minister announced that the Optus-Elders consortium had won nearly a billion dollars to provide regional broadband, she was forced to defend the WiMAX technology against a barrage of criticism.
WiMAX is a high-quality technology but its reputation has suffered from some outrageous claims by its proponents. Early WiMAX advocates breathlessly claimed ranges of up to 70 kilometres. The government claims a range of 25 kilometres – even this is hopelessly optimistic.
Real life experience suggests that the technology has a much more modest range of 5-10 kilometres, in good conditions. And only on spectrum that the Optus-Elders network doesn’t currently have access to.
This new role – the government as tech expert – is becoming more and more prominent. Consumers are now quick to learn whether specific technologies or services meet the government’s seal of approval.
For instance, Telstra’s Next G service is, apparently, not satisfactory – Helen Coonan has received “hundreds of complaints”.
The Minister has also determined that a recent Telstra upgrade of its Hybrid Fibre Coaxial cable network is better than fibre-to-the-node technology, which will be news for those in the industry who have spent the last two years debating the appropriate regulatory framework to encourage firms to invest in fiberoptic broadband network.
Sometimes these statements are mere rhetoric flourishes, indicative only of a government struggling to navigate the complex interactions between politics and high-technology. But many in the industry are frustrated with the Communications Minister’s self-appointed role as technology propagandist and critic.
The government, when pressed, insists that it remains strictly “technology neutral” when it writes public policy. Unfortunately, the reality is much different.
In the course of the long-running dispute with Telstra, the government has largely abandoned allowing the market to decide the most suitable technologies. Instead, it has readopted the characteristic winner picking strategies which have long discredited national industry policies.

By default the Task List is located by default in the central part of the VIP Simple To Do List window. It displays the list of tasks organized by selected fields, with or without filters applied, and allows to changing all of the properties and fields of a tasks.
The task control list consists of an unlimited number of rows (each row is one task) and many columns (Done, Task Name, Priority, Complete, Status, Category, Date last modified, Date Complete, Date created, Date Opened, Due Date, Hyperlink, Left Days, Reminder Time).
||You can easily sort the columns using the Field Chooser. To open the Field Chooser window just make a right mouse-click on a column header and choose the appropriate item from the menu. You can also open the Field Chooser using View-Columns... item from the main menu.
To add or remove a column use the Drag&Drop method.
To add a column drag the chosen column from the Customization window and place it where you need in the headers line.
To remove a column just drag it to the Customization window.
Field Left Days
This is a calculated field that is designed for your comfort and shows how many days is left before completion of your task. If by a fixed date the task is still not complete (the flag "Done"is not marked), then the filled value is marked in red, saying for how many days the task is overdue.
Shows percentage of the task's accomplishment, when the task is finished, the 100% sign is displayed in this field.
Commands Expand All, Collapse All and AutoExpand All.
These commands are designed for a fast tree management. "Expand All" and "Collapse All" expand and collapse all tree branches correspondingly.
"Auto Expand all" - if this flag is on then al tree branches will be open and opposite to it. If this flag is off then you can manage this process by yourself.
- Tasks may be sorted using filters at the head of each column. Sorting of columns can be made by use of the stylized triangle in the header of each column.
- Tasks within the list may be edited. Select the required task and use either the Enter key or F4 key.
- Completed tasks may be marked by placing of the mouse cursor to the left of the task in the list, and clicking the left mouse button.
- Task navigation is possible by use of the cursor keys.
- New tasks may be created by use of the Insert key and deleted by use of the Delete key.

Students from ANTH326 “Middletown Materials: Archeological Analysis” will be excavating at the Beman Triangle this coming weekend. For those not aware of the history of the site, this was home to a planned African American community, with close ties to the AME Zion Church, from the 1840s through to the late nineteenth century. We have been excavating behind two houses and have been finding a range of exciting materials relating to everyday life from the 1860s through to the early twentieth century, particularly pharmaceutical related artifacts.
If you are interested, we will be happy to introduce visitors to the site any time between 1pm and 4:30pm on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. You will be able to find us behind 21 Vine Street; the excavations are fairly obvious.
If you’re interested in doing more than just watching and would like to get your hands dirty, let me know. We have opportunities for volunteers to participate in the project. Please also feel free to circulate this information; we are open to the public, and welcome visitors from outside Wesleyan.
It looks to be perfect weather for being outside and checking out some history.

I am writing an article for the Maryland State Numismatic Association about Maryland colonial currency. After writing the introduction, I thought it would be of interest to my readers. I made a slight modification to neatly end this as a single article. The rest will appear in a future MSNA Journal.
Prior to the Great Depression, paper currency was backed with specie, gold or silver mined in the United States. During the founding of the country currency had been limited to coins with an intrinsic value based on their gold, silver or copper content. As the King of England tried to tax the colonies to pay for the wars in Europe, the colonies looked for ways of financing their own governments to provide services.
Since the colonies did not have the ability to coin money, they issued paper notes. These notes functioned as currency but actually were bills of credit, short-term public loans to the government. For the first time, the money had no intrinsic value but was valued at the rate issued by the government of the colony in payment of debt. Every time the colonial government would need money, they would authorize the printing of a specified quantity and denomination of notes that it would use to pay creditors. The emission laws also included a tax that would used to repay the bill of credit and the promised interest.
As taxes were paid using the paper currency, the paper was retired. As the notes were removed from circulation, that was less payments the government had to make. On the maturity date, people brought their notes to authorized agents who paid off the loan. Agents then turned the notes over to the colonial government to be reimbursed and collect a commission for acting as an agent.
Sometimes, colonies could not pay back the loan. In those cases, the colonies passed another emission law to cover the debt owed from the previous emission plus further operating expenses. In this case, mature notes were traded for new notes. The colonists accepted this system since there were shortages of coins as well as there being an inability to convert the value of foreign coins into colonial shillings by farmers and other unskilled in such matters.
Maryland was one of the more successful colonies. Maryland benefited from its ownership of the Chesapeake Bay and ran a robust economy as a trading post for Maryland and Virginia goods. Maryland merchants were able to make a sizable living trading tobacco and other crops to Europe for Virginia farmers.
Starting in 1733, there were eight emissions from the Maryland colony with four during the Revolutionary War. The last emission was in 1780 with a successful payment of obligations in 1782, prior to its 1784 maturity date. In 1784, Maryland was able to pay its debts in specie, mostly Spanish Milled Dollars, and outlawed any future release of currency.

Sharia law: It’s out there, alternately oppressing women and strengthening terrorists, probably. Even as we speak, communities
around the world in one part of the world apply this code of religious governance derived from the sacred texts of Islam. Imams and muftis use sharia law to resolve among their parishioners, much as rabbis and pastors do with the Judeo-Christian tradition. And in the same way that Lutherans who study abroad in China immediately begin trying to replace that country’s legal system with what their minister said, Muslims who immigrate to the United States set about enforcing sharia law. Take it from Gina Satterfield of Helena:
We as a nation and state do not have to wait as a forced host to witness the growing population for this foreign law to implement its totalitarian system.
That Markov chain of Palin-style main ideas came when Satterfield testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of SB97, a bill from Keith Regier (R–Kalispell) that would prohibit Montana courts from applying foreign law. The Senate passed it Friday. Wags might point out that Montana courts already apply a fixed body of law, the US Constitution and the code of Montana. But Regier’s bill will strengthen our resolve against replacing our existing legal system with the informal religious guidelines of literally several Muslim immigrants.
Either that or it’s stunt legislation that rallies bigotry to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. I guess it would depend on whether any Montana court had ever tried to apply sharia law, or if anyone in Montana had ever called for sharia law to be enforced, or if Montana were, as of 2012, the least Muslim state in America. Update: Only the last of these three conditions is true, and Regier’s bill is definitely an unnecessary public performance of Islamophobia. You can read all about it in this week’s column for the Missoula Independent, which comes with my own ideas for other laws to protect us from foreign customs and futuristic toasters. We’ll be back tomorrow with Friday links.

The attorney represented a client who was seriously injured in a vehicle accident as the result of the defendant’s negligence. The coverage was limited. However, knowing that the driver’s home address was in a northeast resort town, the attorney suspected the adverse had additional assets. Her paralegal utilized a proprietary database to identify potential attachable assets and found nothing but the home address and the defendant’s vehicle, neither of which had a high value.
The attorney contacted CLI and provided us with a copy of her database report. On review, we determined that the report provided to the attorney contained much less information than was available to licensed investigators (see companion article, “Don’t Always Trust a Database Report”). We obtained our own database report and researched public records to identify another property not disclosed in the attorney’s report. This property appeared to be a second home in Florida, which was not homesteaded.
We also identified several properties that the defendant had owned in other states, mostly in resort areas. Two of these properties had been owned by the defendant individually and then quit claimed in the past five years to a woman who appeared to be living at the defendant’s residence. Her relationship with the defendant, a single man, was uncertain.
A Google search of the defendant’s first and last name produced no hits, but a second search, which included the defendant’s full name and middle initial, revealed a reference to a number of lawsuits which the subject had filed as a plaintiff. By reviewing relevant online records, we found that the defendant, personally and through various entities, had owned a large shopping mall in a northern state in the late 1990’s. This property had been sold for millions of dollars before the real estate market crashed.
We also searched federal records and found that the defendant was a partner in another large commercial transaction three years prior. That suit was settled in the partnership’s favor.
It appeared that the defendant may have been a “millionaire next door,” living a frugal lifestyle, but having substantial assets which were not immediately apparent in a low-cost database report. With this new information, the attorney felt comfortable moving forward with the suit. The cost of the investigation was less than $500.
Not every investigation will produce such dramatic results, but the combination of an attorney’s instincts and skilled research by trained legal investigators can make the difference between a large potential settlement and the regret of throwing away a $100,000 case.

Will the real Roger Longrigg please stand up? Having investigated this author I am still finding out how many pseudonyms (or masks) this writer hid behind during his writing career. Longrigg who died in 2000 had over 55 books to his name(s). So far we know the names he did write under were Rosalind Erskine, Laura Black, Ivor Drummond, Frank Parrish and his last creation, Domini Taylor. Oh, and he did bring out some books under his own name!
Born 1st May 1929 in Edinburgh, Longrigg lived in the Middle East where his father was stationed, eventually being sent back to attend his studies at Bryanston. After completing his History degree at Magdalen College, Oxford, Longrigg worked for an advertising agency. During his time there he completed two comic novels, ‘A High-Pitched Buzz’ and ‘Switchboard’ under his own name. Longrigg married in 1959 and became a full-time writer, creating different pseudonyms to suit the different writing styles. One of Longrigg’s most successful novels was ‘The Passion Flower Hotel’ under the non-de-plume of Rosalind Erskine. Written in 1962, it depicts the events of a girl’s boarding school which turns itself into a brothel for a local boy’s school. This title was turned in to a stage musical, radio play and film starring Nastassja Kinski.
Domini Taylor was Longrigg’s last pseudonym and he finished his writing career writing psychological suspense novels under this guise. They are to date his most well-known novels. Longrigg died in February 2000, age 70.
Review: Mother Love
I was first introduced to Longrigg in 1989 although I did not know it at the time. I watched, as did millions of other viewers, a TV drama entitled, ‘Mother Love’. This drama, the screenplay of which was penned by Andrew Davies of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ fame, starred Diana Rigg in the title role of Helena alongside David McCullum and Isla Blair. This was a fascinating tale of a mother’s obsessive love for her only child and how boundaries are crossed when loyalty has been savagely betrayed. It was spellbinding stuff and kept the nation gripped over three episodes.
It wasn’t until 1994 that my path would again cross that of Domini Taylor. I picked up a paperback entitled, ‘Praying Mantis’. The name Domini usually lends itself as a woman’s name and reading the Domini Taylor books, it would not be remiss to believe they had been written by a woman. They so closely resemble the psychological novels of Ruth Rendell and Longrigg certainly manages to hoodwink his reader by elaborating this with his writing and observations in a feminine style.
‘Mother Love’ is all about obsession. Helena’s obsession with being wronged, being denied the life and privilege she deserved. Her whole universe centred on her only child, Christopher who was addressed as Kit but as ‘Kitten’ by her mother, even when he reached adulthood. Helena denies Kit’s father, Alexander Vesey access to his son, retaliation for what she classes as his desertion of their marriage. When her ex-husband is revered as a classical conductor years later, Helena’s rage at her abandonment still burns like the fires of Tartarus. As she watches her nemesis gain a knighthood and Vesey’s present wife become a Lady, a title Helena feels she herself should be proudly wearing, Helena begins to plot their downfall. But this is not something new, Helena’s rage knew no moral bounds as a child, but the greatest betrayal is yet to be unveiled – and it is closer to home than she could ever imagine.
Longrigg’s style of writing ratchets up the suspense as this fractured family digs itself deeper and deeper in lies and deception to keep Helena ignorant of the actions of those closer to her. Longrigg’s style of writing can sometimes feel old fashioned and he is from that stable of writing where he explains more through prose than dialogue. His style is very much like that of the crime writer, Margaret Yorke.
‘Mother Love’ is as powerful a story in book form as it was on the small screen. Helena’s self-deception and control soon spiral out of control as the green-eyed monster of envy and privilege propel her to unspeakable acts. As I have mentioned before, I did not know this was written by a man when I was first introduced to Domini Taylor, so convincing is Longrigg feminine personality. If you have not read Domini Taylor, then ‘Mother Love’ should be your first port of call. It really is a quite chilling tale in its simplicity. As they say, the strongest love is a Mother’s unconditional love… but the partnership of Domini Taylor and Roger Longrigg show it can also be the deadliest…

Bitcoin enthusiasts often champion its decentralized nature as a robust shield against threats that plague traditional financial systems. However, like any financial asset, Bitcoin isn’t impervious to various potential risks that could alter its trajectory.
In a bid to uncover these potential pitfalls, Finbold sought the insights of ChatGPT, OpenAI’s cutting-edge artificial intelligence platform. By posing the question, ‘What can end Bitcoin as we know it?’ to the advanced ChatGPT-4, a comprehensive range of external and internal challenges came to light:
- Technical Vulnerabilities:
- 51% Attack: This is a much-discussed vulnerability where a single entity gains control of over 50% of the Bitcoin network’s computational power, potentially enabling double-spending or transaction halts.
- Quantum Computing: As quantum computers advance, they might break Bitcoin’s cryptographic security. However, the crypto community is actively working on strategies to mitigate this risk.
- Regulatory and Legal Challenges:
- Bitcoin’s decentralized nature, while its strength, makes it susceptible to regulatory crackdowns and bans worldwide. These could significantly impact adoption and steer users towards alternative digital assets or traditional currencies.
- Economic Factors:
- Bitcoin’s value and adoption are closely intertwined with economic variables. A significant loss of confidence due to financial losses, fraud, or scandals could lead to reduced adoption and value. The emergence of superior cryptocurrencies or technologies could also overshadow Bitcoin’s first-mover advantage.
- Environmental Concerns:
- Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism has come under scrutiny for its energy consumption. Critics argue it is unsustainable and environmentally harmful. Growing concerns over energy consumption may shift focus towards more eco-friendly cryptocurrencies or consensus mechanisms.
- Scaling Issues:
- Internal Conflicts:
- Disagreements within the Bitcoin community regarding its development trajectory could lead to additional forks, akin to the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) split. Sustaining a unified vision for Bitcoin’s future is crucial for its long-term success.
- Catastrophic Events:
- The Bitcoin network is not impervious to global disruptions. Natural disasters, infrastructure failures, or large-scale cyber-attacks could temporarily or permanently disrupt the network.
- Mass Adoption of CBDCs:
- Governments, notably the United States and China, are actively exploring digital currencies. The introduction of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) as substitutes for cryptocurrencies could present a more secure and regulated option, potentially reducing Bitcoin’s appeal.
- Loss of Key Infrastructure:
- The cryptocurrency ecosystem heavily depends on exchanges and wallet providers. A major collapse or severe security issues in a prominent exchange or wallet provider could undermine confidence in the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem, impacting Bitcoin.
In conclusion, while Bitcoin has demonstrated resilience and boasts a robust community of users and developers, it is not impervious to various internal and external factors. Vigilance in recognizing and proactively addressing these potential threats will be pivotal for Bitcoin’s sustained success and relevance as a global digital currency.
