Preparations for Pension Buyouts and Lump Sums
Levy suggested plan sponsors inform participants why they are undertaking the transaction, and explain what it means for participants. If participants are asked to make a choice of a lump sum or annuity, plan sponsors may want to consider providing them with access to independent financial counseling. “Providing these tools is a great opportunity for employees if the organization wants to do that,” Levy said.
In light of a buyout transaction, the investment policy statement should be reviewed, Levy said. This is because the pension plan may have a significantly different liability structure after blocks of inactive participants are cashed out or annuity contracts are purchased.
A large transaction may affect the mix of stocks and bonds, and the duration of liabilities may change, Levy said. Plan sponsors may want to look at further de-risking and reducing the assets invested in equities, and they may want to rearrange liabilities and assets to facilitate total plan termination, he added.
Before jumping into a bulk annuity purchase, it may be useful to implement a phased de-risking approach over more than one fiscal year, according to Levy. This longer timeline can allow a plan sponsor to avoid significant settlement expense, or take advantage of a year in which there is a significant charge to earnings from an unrelated source. Mercer’s paper suggests plan sponsors discuss these options with human resources, accounting, finance representatives and legal counsel to avoid pension and age discrimination issues.

Psg, Verratti: "People think it's easy in Ligue 1 but it's not like that. About Messi and Hakimi ...
…"
LEAGUE 1 – "The balance of this first part is certainly positive. We are first in the standings and we also have a certain advantage. Last year Lille won and I congratulate them and we know it will not be easy," he said. Verratti. "People think it's easy in Ligue 1 but it's not. There are competitive teams playing the European Cups. I think the French league is as difficult as the others. We can certainly do better and we know it but I think at least in this first part. we can be satisfied with what we have done ". "The return of the fans?
FEELING – And on the understanding with them: "It it is easy to make a pass to Mbappé because even if you give it too long he recovers it with his speed. The same goes for Messi who can do it. incredible control with the feet he has. It doesn't take long to create something collective when there are certain players so I think we'll do it soon too. "
GOAL – "Few goals in 10 years of Psg?First of all I try to make the team play better and put the attackers in the best conditions to score. This is my main role. Then it is clear that goals are important and I need to improve on this. If I did 4-5 per season it wouldmore about it, but I'm really happy even that way. "


Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor in a scene from "Moulin Rouge."
Let’s sing away the coronavirus blues! This week it’s time to stream musicals to lift our stay-at-home spirits.
We’ll start in Paris, home of the famous Cabaret, Moulin Rouge, where immodest ladies show all they can-can.
I’ve been to a Paris cabaret. My date? My 14-year-old daughter, Kat.
All parents have snapshots in their hearts of special moments with their children – ones that hug us for a lifetime.
But one I remember most was when daughter and I spent a night in Paris. We bought tickets to a cabaret for dinner and a show. I chose the Lido, not the Moulin Rouge.
The show was filled with flying legs, bold colors and topless dancers. Daughter, 14, was mesmerized.
Forever after, she and I have referred to the Lido dancers as the Topless Wonders.
When we got home, Mom raised an eyebrow or two, but in an act of kindness, chose to let us have our memory without a critique involving dubious parental judgment. And, yes, Kat might have sipped an adult beverage.
“Moulin Rouge,” released in 2001, is a rousing dance-like-no-one’s-watching musical made by Baz Luhrmann, who has an impeccable eye for color, and perfect pitch for sound. The score is a veritable jukebox of popular music, often strung together like popcorn. Want to hear all the hits of the past 10 years? Luhrmann will do that in one song!
Alas, Luhrmann inserts a few silent moments that pause the soundtrack. But not for long! Somebody put a nickel in the jukebox and let those records spin. “Nickel” is a real song, by the way. And, yes, once upon a great great grandparent ago, a nickel would play a song.
Under the music flows La Boheme, and a few years prior, the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice – loosely. All viewers really need to know is that the poor boy lusts for the most beautiful lady in the kingdom, and he’s just about win her love forever when fate intervenes and she dies in his arms.
Love torn from the arms of a swooning man just as he prepared to couple up for eternity. Instead, she beats him to eternity.
Lovely classic story, of the tragic type operas love.
The love story is affecting. Both Nicole Kidman, the beautiful courtesan, and Ewan McGregor, the poor poet, sing with soulful sadness. Hearing Kidman sing “Fly Away” transports me to a heavenly place.
I also love hearing Christian sing “Come What May,” where he confesses his love for Satine. The song morphs into duet at mid-song, as Satine reciprocates his longing. They will love each other until their “dying day.” She’s right about her pledge. He’s not.
Yes, I can be hopelessly romantic. If you object, go read some depressing news stories instead. No, don’t. I love that you’re with me. Stay. Please.
But no one really loves “Moulin Rouge” just for the love story. We love it for the music, the dance and the colorful swirling twirling skirts.
This is one of those love-it-or-hate-it movies that will be dismissed with a pshaw by some, but sung as a jukebox hymn by the rest of us. I might have raised my hands and sang along during the showing at the Gaslight. It was dark. No one saw me.
So, let’s conclude with the impossible question that has always intrigued me. What is music? How does it transport us to places that words alone can’t reach? Seems like the chords and beat must be connecting to the rhythm of our heart and the flow of life through our body. When we’re in the grasp of a tune that connects, we are helpless to resist.
They say the ears are the last to quit as the body dies. Music still reaches the soul when the rest of the body is fading. Sue hadn’t spoken for days until a young girl played a violin at her bedside. Suddenly she said “Fabulous!” and fell back into quietness.
Each of us has different notes which, like a password, unlock something inside us.
Hhearing Kidman sing “Fly Away” both take me someplace special.
You’re more than welcome to come fly away with me if you wish.

Openness with thump.
I just got my Hydra 4x12; Baby Blue Bronco tolex,white grill cloth, white piping, unloaded from Achillies just 5 days ago. Firstly, beautiful colour on the tolex side of things and with the white cloth and piping just makes it look so old school. But the look belays the sound of the cab. Very open but capable of the good old quad "thump" when pushed. I obviously had to install the speakers but little did I realise too, the speaker cable was all in there that I needed for the job as well. All I had to do was solder it all together. AND castors were supplied for the cab too. Brilliant!!! I love the design of this cabinet. It truly is a work of art. The build quality was evident when I opened her up to install the speakers. I believe Labros is onto something here tone wise. A quad sound that has width to the tone. Not so directional. Top marks. </s> Many years ago, I had the opportunity to take a ride with one of my top installers. I had just sold a big job that called for us to completely restore three systems and the necessary ductwork in a large older home. The house was located in a rural part of the county, so we had a good 40-minute drive ahead of us. Along the way, this employee and I had a nice discussion. He was about my age, so we were able to talk about our grown children and some of the challenges we had raising them as well as some of the continuing issues.
We arrived at the job, went over every detail, and then jumped back in the truck to return to the shop. On the way back, we pretty much picked up our conversation right where we’d left off.
But, now, after almost 25 years of company ownership, I know exactly how this could be possible.
The unspoken agreement is: As the owner, I’ll invest the time and money required to turn you into a productive employee with a rewarding career, and you will, in turn, dedicate the rest of your working life to the success of the company. Along with this unspoken agreement also comes the emotional attachment. Most studies show, and everyone talks about, the value of working in a company with a family atmosphere. This means that not only do we work together, we also get to know each other and become emotionally attached to one another; it’s only natural. Of course, there are the expected highs and lows of any relationship, but, typically, everything is great and wonderful until that fateful day arrives when one party feels it’s time to part ways.
This reality of the employee-employer relationship is the reason for a natural “Us vs. Them” mentality that prevails in the workplace. I can plainly see why employers would become callous toward employees. From their perspective, they’ve been treating this person like a family member and now they are leaving for whatever reason, and it makes no sense

The occasional pain of loneliness
It has come to my realization that the occasional pain of loneliness is actually better than being an occupant of an emotional rollercoaster that is not only unpredictable but incredibly dangerous. The highs are amazingly wonderful, holding my hand in church and touching my face with the palm of his hand as though he loves me. The lows are extremely painful, saying things like he doesnt feel he needs to explain to me who he will invite or not invite to his sons wedding for his date. Funny, we are exclusive to one another, I promised monogamy and wondered if when he said he booked a hotel room for himself he was trying to let me know that I was not invited.

Art, culture of lands inwards, is that which brings us closer to ourselves. It mimicks us. It has as many shades as it does faces and the perception that we have of it, of this abstract thing, transforms into a quite magical, supernatural and very precious phenomenon. So much so, that to give it a serious definition would be, to say the least, purely pedantic. And by no means our goal. This debate, however labyrinthine it may be, enriches us. Always. And it doe so even more if delivered from the criticism of experience.
As is the poetry in the way we say things, we are frequently unable to explain Art which, in much the same way, is often priceless. It can be eternal, worth a lifetime and, at the same time, be equally material as be ethereal. Art is a painting, but also a word. Art is a scene, but also a good meal. Art is the other way in which we see things, but also the everyday.
The Artist has the right to live off his/her creation; that is one of the parametres. Nevertheless, reality nearly always differs. Art is so pure that it transforms into something so easily perverted. Galleries, patrons, revalued works, frivolity, show pieces, luck or simply the pure necessity of life. How many times has a work of Art been worthless and then soon become inaccessibly priced? Who controls these scales? What is the price of Art? Konvent considers this conundrum every day.
Art must be ART in capital letters. It must speak, it must grow. Its masters, those who live and feel it, have to defend, preach and teach it. Konvent’s new exhibition addresses this and does so from within, transforming our house into Hiroshima. A nuclear bomb. A new start in the way things have been done until now. An orange pressed to the peel. Brave, beautiful and self-destructive. We want Art to rebirth us – tighten the rope and throw us to sea.
From 21st November until 31st December, Konvent invites us to his/her/its last exhibition of the year. An open debate amongst Artists and people who dedicate their life to Art, who will all bring their own vision and experience to the table. All with one target in mind, the price of Art. These are cases which are reproduced the world over; victims, thugs, tramps, millionaires and the IBEX 35.  A phenomenon worth analysing and, more so, talking about. Artists who are waiters. Are you an Artist? What do you do? Or the old “Come and perform at my party and in return I’ll buy you lunch.” We have to be aware of the fact that when you flip the coin over, there is another side. And those common topics come back to haunt us: money doesn’t make you happy and Art, for the authentic Artist, is worth more than its material value.
So what path must we follow? Where is the mistake made by cultural advisers and Artists alike? Is the problem that of a society with too few values? Is there a way to learn to appreciate Art? Born amongst patrimony, nature and hostility, and as the cogs and wheels never stop turning, Konvent knows exactly what he/she/it is about: shake it up from the inside out.

1 januari 2016 inrättades distriktet Litsleagunda/HagundaLitslena socken ligger öster om Enköping. Socknen är en småkuperad slättbygd i norr och väster och skogsbygd i söder och öster.
Strax intill Litslena kyrka möts landsvägarna riksväg 55 samt länsväg 263 (gamla E18) i en fyrvägskorsning. Härifrån går även en "häradsväg" söderut mot "Trögden".
Från bronsåldern finns spridda gravrösen, skärvstenshögar, flera skålgropsförekomster och omkring 25 hällristningar. Från järnåldern finns drygt 50 gravfält och stensträngar. Sex runstenar är funna. En av dessa runstenar, den som kallade fågelstenen vid prästgårdshagen, vilken restes år 1924, är lite extra intressant, ty då man reste den omkullfallna stenen hittades mängder av obrända och brända ben, kanske offer till stenen.
Namnet skrevs år 1300 Litlene och kommer från kyrkbyn. Förleden innehåller litil, 'liten'. Efterleden innehåller ene, 'enbestånd' eller 'vägmöte'.

So, wn ocean cruise generally…
7. Full sailing days tend to be a rarity with river cruises as most sailing is done at night. Most days you’re not ‘on the move’ for more than a couple of hours. There are a couple of exceptions to this including the Douro River in Portugal where navigating during the night is not permitted so that ships only sail during the daylight. The other exceptions include the Rhine Gorge and Austria’s Wachau Valley on the Danube River where there are wonderfully scenic stretches of castle laden shores.
9. Fares on river cruises typically include wine, beer and soft drinks with meals, dinner in specialty restaurants, 24-hour coffee and tea, Wi-Fi and the standard tours in each port. Some river cruise lines also offer all-inclusive fares covering all drinks, transfers, gratuities and even a pre or post hotel night. Most river ships also enable you to bring wine onboard that you’ve bought in local shops and vineyards along the river.
11. One of the most wonderful features of a river cruise is the fact that most of the time you’ll dock right in town. Generally, getting to that ‘main attraction’ is so easy with just or town. Occasionally, the docks can get busier so that the riverboats have to ‘double park’, so to speak, requiring passengers from one vessel to walk through another vessel to get to the shore. This can make it particularly challenging for wheelchair users or travelers with mobility issues.
12. River cruising won’t cover nearly as much ground as an ocean cruise as oftentimes a 12-hour journey by riverboat could take less than a couple of hours if done via a bus. Distances between ports are much shorter with river cruises. This gives river cruise lines the flexibility to alter plans if there are issues with high or low water which can sometimes happen depending on the preceding weather. Sometimes they’ll have to consider moving people via buses and switching vessels in order to maintain the itinerary as planned.
No matter whether you choose river cruising or ocean cruising, please do think about working with a travel professional so thatappropriate cruise line (whether river or ocean), location and overall planning of the vacation. I’d be happy to help you with this thereby alleviating any negative issues relative to the details of your overall plans.


ra Florand
self-published in October 2012
Top chef Daniel Laurier might not know what is wrong with his marriage or his wife, but he knows one thing for sure. He’s not losing her. So when he comes home to find his wife has run off to a remote Pacific Island, he decides it’s time to turn up the heat.
Back then, it was crucial for them to insure their livelihood because they had Léa two younger siblings to raise. Ten years later, the Relais d'Or is still a three stars restaurant and Daniel has become a superstar chef. However, their success comes at a price. All the hard work means Daniel and Léa barely have time to be together... and lately, Léa is just so tired and all she wants to do is sleep. Deciding she needs a vacation, Léa heads for Tahiti and leaves a message on Daniel's voicemail letting him know she'll be back in one or two weeks.
Finally, I want to give Ms Florand a thumb up for the length of Turning Up the Heat :) Obviously, I wouldn't mind reading more about Daniel and Léa, but since this was self-published, I feel that Ms Florand wasn't really restricted in length and therefore used the amount the words she needed to tell the story she wanted. The story felt complete and not rushed and this is rare with a novella :)

Worm Screw Jack The electric press device is the most commonly used fast adjusting mechanism of the roller seam on the hot rolling machine of aluminum strip. According to the requirements of rolling condition and product precision, the lower inertial system is required to adapt to the frequent start-up and braking, Worm Screw Jack while the high transmission efficiency and the two-side position accuracy are used.
Hot-rolling machines are usually controlled by electric pressure and hydraulic adjustment of the way to control the roll seam, in which the electric pressure by the motor, coupling, worm gear reducer, pressure screws, down nuts, thrust bearings and other major components. At present, Worm Screw Jack the electric press device cancels the clutch and brake used in the traditional design, the position feedback is carried out with high-precision displacement sensor, and the two sides errors are compensated by the hydraulic system. Worm Screw Jack It greatly improves the reaction speed and accuracy of the system, and at the same time, the compression nut is changed from CU alloy to steel-copper composite structure, and on the basis of keeping the original screw-pair structure, the dosage of copper alloy is greatly saved, and it has good economy. For hot-rolling machines, the main components to be balanced on the roll balancing device include: The quality of the upper support roll, the quality of the working rolls, Worm Screw Jack the pressure screw and the quality of the thrust bearing and the bearing seat, and the quality of the balance beam and the upper guide plate. The balancing force of the balance of the working rollers is 5% of the weight of the cardan shaft, which can be neglected here, Worm Screw Jack the over balance force of the upper roller balance device, the effect on the load of the screw under the pressure of the rolling force is very small, and can be neglected in the basic So the design of the screw under the pressure and the load calculation can not consider the influence of the balance force.
Due to the pressure of the nut material in the strength of lower than the pressure screws, it is only necessary to check the pressure of the nut screw bending and shear strength.
Hot-rolling machine under the pressure screws may occur card resistance, the pressure of the nut easy to wear, short service life, spare parts consumption is a common problem, downtime overhaul and replacemenlargely caused by poor lubrication.
On the side of the dust cover with a spray pipe, the pressure on the screws to spray low pressure lubricating oil, the involute spline and thread parts lubrication, retractable protective cover at the bottom of the back tubing, lubricating oil through the back to the oil tank. The protective cover can prevent lubricating oil from spilling and polluting the rolling emulsion, and the whole pressure screw and nut lubrication form a closed system. Worm Screw Jack Because of the high requirements for the cleanliness of the lubricating oil, the thrust bearing has a separate inlet and back tubing for the bearing seat of the thrust bearing.
Through the design analysis and calculation of the pressure screw, according to the reasonable selection of the press screw and nut materials, heat treatment technology, Worm Screw Jack thread diameter and pitch and other key parameters, in the case of minimizing the size of the mechanism to meet the needs of the use, to extend the service life of electric pressure device. The improved closed-type dilute oil lubrication system has achieved good lubrication effect in the actual use.


The Biarritz hole derived from the 3rd hole at the Golf de Biarritz in France where it was originally known as the Chasm hole. The architect of this course, built in 1888, was Scotland’s Willie Dunn. Sadly, this hole no longer exists due to changes to the course due to hotel construction on this valuable piece of the property. It featured a carry of about 160 yards over the titular chasm–an inlet from the ocean– to a massive green (Images). The putting surface featured two large flat zones front and rear that were divided by a deep swale and guarded on both sides by bunkers. It is believed that only the rear platform was ever pinned—totaling between 210 and 240 yards—making the hole essentially a test of a player’s ability to hit both long and straight (this was certainly a driver during the Dunn brothers’ time).
The rest of the putting surface’s dimensions are largely conjecture as the original lasted only four years. Whatever else may have remained of the hole after the hotel was built was eliminated during World War II. Furthering the mystery of the origins of this hole as one of Macdonald’s templates is the unlikelihood that he was ever in France during its brief existence.
Notable American versions of this hole are found at Yale Golf Club, Fishers Island, and the Chicago Golf Club (Images). The 16th at Cypress Point is in some respects faithful to the first iteration in France with its forced carry over an inlet of the Pacific Ocean. This routing is believed to have been suggested by Raynor in the original routing of the course that was modified by Mackenzie after Raynor’s death.


If you are serious about your writing (as we are at Write Links!) getting feedback on your work through a critique process is an important part of developing your story and writing.
Kelly Hart from BetterScribe gave us an insight into the finer art of critiquing covering many aspects such as how to critique someone's work most effectively. She also discussed what to expect from paid manuscript appraisals, critiques and proofreads. It is important for children's writers, when their work is ready for a paid critique, to work with an editor who has experience with their particular genre.
· They won’t tell you how to improve the writing.
· They have no idea how to critique.
· They think your writing is perfect as it is.
Unfortunately, the feedback friends and family give is usually not very helpful.how to give the kind of critique that will improve your writing and they don’t have much (if any) experience with critiquing.
The Winners of the Write Links Short Story Competition Are ...
This competition is specifically for children's writers and Write Links members and growing each year. This year the competition was sponsored by Book Links (QLD) Inc. and Jocelyn Hawes.
Jacqui writes children's stories and has previously had success at the CYA writing competition. Jacqui has a blog on her father's amazing story Black Jack Turner which one day I hope to see in print.
Look out for our short story writing competition next year with a focus on emerging and unpublished Write Links members.
During our August meeting at Write Links, as part of our Professional Development session, we looked into self-publishing.
There are many ways of publis partner publishing and other hybrids.
The benefits of self-publishing are many and it can be quite lucrative, however, most of us have seen some average self-published books and many of us are naturally weary, many of us have also heard the horror stories of authors being taken advantage of by vanity publishers .
We were fortunate to have Anthony Puttee from Book Cover Cafe giving us an insight into self-publishing and how to do it well. Anthony also talked about what makes a good cover.
2. Avoid the sharks in the publishing seas, matey!
Always check for some testimonials and signals that help show
3. A good editor can make or break a book.
The only silly question is a question that's not asked. Don't be afraid to ask credible sources to get good information about self-publishing. Better to ask questions upfront than make expensive mistakes.

Blackbaud Launches Church Management
Philanthropist Rockefeller Leaves Lasting Legacy
In 1995, he was elected honorary chairman and life trustee at the school. The university’s doctorate program was named in his honor in 2005.
“The entire Rockefeller family mourns the passing of our Uncle David, who has guided the family as a whole and shaped our individual work in philanthropy, all the while carrying himself with a sense of humility that will endure in us and our work,” said Valerie Rockefeller Wayne, chair of the fund’s board of trustees and grandniece of Rockefeller. “His spirit and values remain central to the Fund, including a commitment to lasting relationships, an understanding of global interdependence and the importance of creativity, and a deep respect for the freedoms of every individual and the sanctity of the natural environment.”ressed gratitude for Rockefeller’s vision and legacy. “David has been a friend and mentor since my tenure began at the Fund 16 years ago, and while we have lost his human presence, he remains the North Star that guides us in our efforts to help,” he said.
Rockefeller was born in New York City in 1915 and educatconomics, according to a university release. Rockefeller’s entire business career was spent at Chase Manhattan Bank, where he eventually served as chairman and CEO, specializing in international banking.

[ors Bobby Troup and Julie London, who played Dr. Joe Early, MD and Nurse Dixie "Dix" McCall, RN, respectively]: Bobby Troup and Julie London ...it was a killer when he passed away and Julie, too. It was like a real end of an era for us ...I still think about them and those times when Bobby was telling me how he wrote the song, "Route 66", and what he was going through ...I remember saying, 'Randy remember every word he is telling you' ...Julie London was so great, and she always referred to herself as a 'broad'. My fondest memory of her was the sheer joy of working with her ...she always had this droll sense of humor and I also remember sitting in their home [they were married from 1960 until he died in 1999; she was previously married to Jack Webb from 1947-1953]. It was this typical L.A. sprawling house in the hills overlooking the Valley and there were all these photos of Frank Sinatra and others ...
[When asked if he ever had a crush on Julie London, while doing the Emergency!(1972) series]: Johnny's relationship with Dixie, he loved her!She was always ...a lot of people would say, 'Hey, did you have a crush on Julie London?' She was 2 years younger than my mom. No, I didn't have a crush on her; but; I loved her!I loved her and Bobby so much and that love was reciprocated and Kevin ...

Soňa Vancáková from Slovakia received the international award of St Rita, bestowed annually on personalities who are outstanding in features typical for this saint: serving fellow people, perseverance, humility and the courage to accept one’s fate.
St Rita, the patron saint of insolvable situations, is currently one of the most popular saints in Italy, also around the world. She was an Augustinian mystic who lived at the turn of the 14th-15th centuries, and had a difficult life: she was a wife and mother of two sons but later became widowed, both her children dying as well. She stood out for her hospitality, love for her neighbours and fellow people, willingness for dialogue and the ability to forgive, TASR wrote.

Woah, best E3 in a long time, Kirby was a surprise.
go to e3.nintendo.com. They have screens of many new 3DS games.
Paper Mario for 3DS is turn based.
Wuhu island seems to be in Mariokart.
Yeah, they completely dominated this year.
I think Donkey Kong looks amazing, and is most definitely on my radar.
After 2 years of absolute suckage and 1 year of okay-ish, Nintendo has dominated E3.
Sony had a fantastic showing, but Nintendo had what is possibly the best ever in the entire history of E3, including when they showed the Wii.
I think Nintendo had the most energetic and interesting conference. Microsoft's was disappointing, and Sony's (aside from the spectacular-looking sequel to LittleBigPlanet) was dreadfully boring and lifeless. The "comedian" from their adverts was painfully unfunny.
Nintendo 3DS stole the show.


Two beheaded in Pakistani border region
Islamic militants beheaded two suspected bandits and strung up their bodies on electricity poles in the latest violence to hit Pakistan's lawless tribal region near the Afghan border, witnesses said on Friday. The militants have been searching for members of a gang of bandits in the North Waziristan region after a clash on Tuesday in which 15 people were killed, including 10 bandits. Full Story

Design Thinking is a popular phrase just now. It’s reached that level of popularity where so many people are talking about it that, inevitably, some of them don’t really understand what it is. And where some of those who’ve spent years developing a client base using Design Thinking as their VP, are jumping off the bandwagon and starting to deny its value.
In the same way that early evangelists of the Toyota Production System (lean manufacturing) moved on to shiny new things, so have some advocates of Design Thinking. But the value of the Design Thinking methodology and its transformative effect is hard to argue against.
Let’s have a look at what Design Thinking actually means (there’s more to it than a workshop and some coloured sticky notes).
You may see services described as using design thinking, solution-focused design, or human-centred design. The ambition is the same in each case. The main difficulty is giving y
Classically, where a fiduciary imperative drives the business plan, a particular mind-set persists: for example, our stakeholders demand growth, our sales last year were £1MM, and our EBITDA was at 5%. OK – we need to drive the top line, cut the bottom line and go for £1.5MM, showing an earnings increase of X%. Fill in your own numbers.
Now, let’s see how that worked for Toys ‘R’ Us. We’ve got X number of customers coming to us and we turn over Y. Great – next year we need to hit Y +20%, and improve the visitor experience and footfall to do it.
Meanwhile, outside this standard reckoning, customers decided that parking outside a store in winter and dragging kids around while they kicked and screamed, because you wouldn’t buy them the thing merchandised at kids’ eye-level, was a bad idea. Instead, Amazon made toy shopping a different proposition, stole the Toys ‘R’ Us business, footfall fell and basket value dropped. Toys ‘R’ Us lost so much revenue that their overheads overtook their turnover, and the rest is retail history.
Design Thinking approaches scenarios like this from a different angle.
It asks, at the macro level, what do we see happening in your market place? What are your consumers doing? What are your competitors doing?
Operationally, we’ll ask – just because your machines make a thing today, do we know the market will be there for ever? Think about the guys making exhaust pipes and petrol tanks as cars become electric. It seems obvious that this is an example of a market already seeing some shrinkage. Just because sales of EVs are only one or two in ten right now, and the full effect hasn’t been felt yet, doesn’t mean it’s not coming, and soon.
So, what’s wrong with this statement: ‘A problem well-stated is a problem half-solved’ (Charles Kettering).
In essence, nothing. It assumes that, having acknowledged the issue, the best way to address it is to get into problem-solving mode and sort it out.
From a Design Thinking perspective, we might say, ‘a problem well-stated is a chance to reveal a new opportunity.’ In fact, by looking at the customer-centric reason for the problem arising, we’ll see the core issue. Back to exhaust pipes and toys: when your sales drop, you can discount these things as much as you like. If no-one wants to drive that car, or visit that retail location, you’re dead in the water.
You need to put a shelf on the wall. What’s your first thought?
The design thinker’s would be, ‘I need a hole.’ Not quite the same.
In the sequence of steps you’ll take to get the hole, you’ll probably use a drill. But the solution is the hole.
Stand back and look at the problem from a new angle, and there may be holes on the wall already. Maybe that wall isn’t the best place for it anyway, or maybe the thing you were going to put on the shelf doesn’t need a shelf. A hook might do it. Or could you put the thing into a cupboard you’ve already got? Or maybe the shelf needs to take 10 times the weight you had planned, because more things like it are on their way.
The process of examinints is crucial to your survival. Marketplaces change and develop quickly, technology outpaces the speed at which we can design and deliver new ideas to market – and it’s only going to get faster.
Arthur C. Clarke said, ‘’ Maybe he would have enjoyed being around today. Things we think can only happen years down the line, tend to be on us much sooner, and before we know it, our business is disrupted.
Be the disrupter. Let us help you to see it differently. Design Thinking can make the difference, and we will show you how.


My late buddy Dudley and I put on all our warm clothes and windproofs and lay down on the bank with life jackets for pillows, hands shoved into our pockets, and just our eyes and noses showing. Above our heads, small tamaracks waved wildly in the wind. Half-asleep, we marveled at their unusual fruits. We were used to tiny cones, less than an inch long, on the New England variety; but these had purple ones the size and color of ripe plums. Dopey with drowsiness, we ended our observation with a mutual, "Hmm...


The return of high quality sporting fixtures, however, was such a huge moment for many, providing something to watch amid the endless hours of Netflix and Tiger King (remember that!?). But as great as watching live sport has been, the return of crowds can’t come soon enough – the rescheduled Euros being one that I am very much looking forward to.
Any list of this nature that doesn’t include Clarke Carlisle is an incomplete one, which is not my opinion but fact. Clarke is one of the best keynote speakers on the circuit, speaking eloquently and emotionally about his battles with mental health and depression. Rarely an audience will be left dry-eyed after listening to Clarke speak, and as excited as everyone is for the Euros, it’s worth remembering the very important role athletes and former players such as Clarke have in raising awareness in these areas.


migen Wasserstoff-Methan-Hülle besteht Uranus aus teilweise verflüssigten Gasen, Eis und möglicherweise einem kleinen Gesteinskern. Die Gashülle geht durch Kompression in eine „Kruste“ aus Wasserstoff und Helium über, die etwa 30 % des Planetenradius ausmacht. Die Masse dieser oberen Schicht macht etwa die 0,5- bis 1,5-fache Erdmasse aus.
Dieser Mantel umschließt einen kleinen, eventuell flüssigen Kern aus Silizium und Eisen mit einer der Erde vergleichbaren Masse.
Während des Vorbeifluges von Voyager 2 stand die Sonne über dem Südpol. Dennoch war Uranus aus unbekannten Gründen am Äquator wärmer als am sonnigen Pol. Daraus hatten die Wissenschaftler errechnet, dass sogar der dunkle Pol etwas wärmer ist als der von der Sonne bestrahlte. Die Temperaturen in der Atmosphäre sind durch diese sehr langsame Abkühlung – und andererseits sehr langsame Erwärmung – erstaunlich ausgeglichen.
Die südliche Hemisphäre kann in zwei Regionen aufgeteilt werden: Eine helle Polarkappe und dunklere äquatoriale Bänder. Die Grenze ist etwa bei 45° südlicher Breite. Ein schmales Band, das den Planeten zwischen dem 45. und 50. südlichen Breitengrad umspannt, ist das hellste große Merkmal auf der Oberfläche des Planeten. Es wird der südliche „Collar“ genannt. Die Polarkappe und der „Collar“ sind möglicherweise eine dichte Region von Methanwolken. Jedoch konnten am Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts, als die Region der Polarkappe ins Sichtfeld kam, das Hubble-Weltraumteleskop und das Keck-Teleskop auf Hawaii weder einen „Collar“ noch eine Polarkappe in der nördlichen Hemisphäre beobachten. Deshalb erscheint Uranus asymmetrisch: hell in der Nähe des Südpols und einheitlich dunkel in der Region nördlich des südlichen „Collars“.
Bilder des Keck-Observatoriums zeigten im Jahr 2004, dass sich Wirbelstürme teilweise über viele Monate lang halten. In der nördlichen Hemisphäre entdeckten die Forscher eine rund 29.000 km lange Wolkenformation. Dies war die größte bislang beobachtete Wolkenstruktur. Sie hatte sich jedoch schon einen Monat später wieder aufgelöst. Langlebiger zeigte sich ein großer Sturm in der südlichen Hemisphäre, der sich schon seit mehreren Jahren aus unbekannten Gründen über fünf Breitengrade hinweg auf und ab bewegte.
2014 konnten die Stürme sogar von Amateuren mit dem Teleskop beobachtet werden, so auffällig waren sie geworden.
Das Magnetfeld von Uranus ist ungewöhnlich und hat die Form eines Quadrupols mit 2 Nord- und 2 Südpolen. Ein Polpaar ist um fast 60° gegenüber der Rotationsachse geneigt und hat seinen Ursprung nicht im Zentrum des Planeten, sondern ist um ein Drittel des Planetenradius nach Süden hin versetzt. Vermutlich wird es durch Bewegungen in nicht allzu großer Tiefe erzeugt, möglicherweise durch ionisiertes Wasser. Neptun hat ein ähnlich geformtes und verschobenes Magnetfeld, was darauf hindeutet, dass die starke Abweichung nichts mit der Größe der Achsenneigung zu tun hat. Die Magnetosphäre von Uranus ist über seiner Nachtseite durch die Rotation korkenzieherartig verwirbelt.
Die ungewöhnliche Geometrie resultiert in einer hoch asymmetrischen Magnetosphäre, bei der die Stärke des magnetischen Feldes in der südlichen Hemisphäre bis zu 0,1 Gauß (10 µT) gering sein, in der nördlichen Hemisphäre bis zu 1,1 Gauß (110 µT) stark sein kann. Das durchschnittliche Feld auf der Oberfläche beträgt 0,23 Gauß (23 µT). Im Vergleich dazu ist das magnetische Feld der Erde an beiden Polen etwa gleich stark, und ihr „magnetischer Äquator“ ist annähernd parallel mit ihrem physikalischen Äquator. Das Dipolmoment von Uranus ist 50-mal stärker als das der Erde.
Die Magnetosphäre enthält geladene Teilchen: Protonen und Elektronen und einen kleinen Anteil an H2+ Ionen. Der Partikelfluss ist hoch genug, um ein Verdunkeln oder eine Erosion der Mondoberflächen in einem astronomisch kurzen Zeitraum von 100.000 Jahren zu bewirken. Dies könnte die Ursache für die einheitlich dunkle Färbung der Monde und der Ringe sein.
Uranus hatte beim Vorbeiflug von Voyager 2 relativ gut entwick

ance. In that acceptance, I came to the realization that I never wanted another parent to have to bury a child who died in a fire and I never wanted another child to die in a fire! There are ways to prevent fires and even if there is a fire, it is possible to escape with our lives! What was necessary to make sure this didn’t happen again? Equipment, training and practice were all at the top of the list.
After years of contemplation, soul-searching and hearing the all-too-often news reports of “another child died today in a house fire“… I decided the world deserved to know my son and to have the information that he didn’t have.
And now, in 2018, Austin’s Fire Chiefs is born. Our mission is to teach what to do before “stop, drop and roll” through education and providing equipment for those in need.

If the cars are to be repaired cheaper and have a longer service life, the market for auto salvage and used car parts are essentially for the customers. That is why the industry exists, and we are confident that the auto salvage industry will experience much growth.
Used car parts, sustainability and circular economy
Since 1 January, 2017, auto mechanics in France have been under obligation to offer repairs of privately owned cars and vans with used parts. This ensures easier consumer access to financial savings and the ability to recycle the huge amount of used parts in working order from the used car parts suppliers
The French law on maintenance and repair is not rooted in EU law and is therefore a purely French matter.
Auto salvage providers must be approved by the Danish Miljøordning for Biler (environmental scheme for cars). When a car is taken to an authorised auto salvage yard, a car scrapping bonus is paid out. In 2015, it amounted to DKK 1,500 after deduction of the environmental fees and scrapping costs.
The description accurately captures the general idea of the concept of auto salvage and what is considered characteristic of the industry today. The typical terminology of the business includes car scrapping bonus, scrap car, recycling, auto salvage and scrapping. Terms which naturally do not support the real possibilities and ambitions this business should have. Generally, there is great sympathy for recycling, irrespective of whether the motives for recycling are environmental or financial. In recent years, the major focus on recycling has created a new concept that brings together an understanding

[Disclosure: Hawaiian paid for my flights and hotel.]
From the outside, the building is a twisted mess of multi-level parking lots. It’s home to all kinds of different firms ranging from telecom to vehicle maintenance for the state. Buried in there is Hawaiian’s brand new facility. Once you walk in the door, you forget that the outside is such a confused mess.
Ride on the Bellanca
By the time we got back, I was exhausted. Fortunately, we were done for the day. They took me over to the Ala Moana Hotel, which was fine but is clearly well past its prime, and I was ready to collapse. But I needed to eat, so thanks to all of you who helped me on Twitter. I went to Nico’s Pier 38 and had some excellent ahi. Then I came back and passed out.

Sad. I can see requiring some pretty specific restrictions. (Pilot license, type rating, and some hours in the Bellanca, etc..)

I wonder how they put that Bellanca on their certificate…
DK Mashino says:
I was thinking the no eating lunch at your desk requirement was paternal… The open office layout stuff makes sense depending on what work your employees are doing. Some positions such as software development don’t benefit from an open layout, which who knows, could be the source of HA’s IT issues.
There’s no such thing as a type rating for an aircraft weighing less than 12,500 pounds for takeoff. For the flying described here (no money changing hands) even a simple Private Pilot license with the ASEL (Aircraft Single Engine Land) rating (and a tail wheel endorsement) is required.
There are probably company rules (and insurance specified) minimum hours and checkout procedures required, but so far as the FAA is concerned any legal Private Pilot can fly that Bellanca. Holders of advanced certificates, like say one of Hawaiian’s captains, are automatically allowed under FAA regs to fly smaller aircraft which do not require a type certificate.
Dave, thanks for clearing that up.. Its been 15 or so years since I did my ground school.. (Never did the in air work.)
NP, Nick. How ironic you did the hard and boring part of getting a pilot’s license and missed out on the joys and satisfaction that could have been yours. Especially in a community like this where so many folks are into the business of aviation and the very highly regulated world of airlines, they never realize the aspects of aviation that are fun. I’ve been a private pilot for 49 years now and the most amazing change over the years to me seems to be how isolated the majority of folks are from real “grass roots” aviation.
Recently a friend told me, “Oh I could never learn to fly, it costs so much.” Yep, it even cost, percentage wise at least as much back 50 years ago … but this same fellow spends as much every year on season tickets for his favorite football team and some other spectator sport expenses as getting a Private Pilot license would cost … we seem to have become a nation of watchers rather than doers. (or so this old man opines).
Yeah, I did the boring part as part of High School.. The fun part I would’ve had to do on my own, and as a teenager I didn’t have the money and I couldn’t convince my parents to give me that.
Given my record at the time piloting vehicles that aren’t designed to leave the road, let alone the ground, its probably a good thing that I’ve waited. It is one of those things that I want to go back and do at some point, and I’ve got a few years to do it.
They installed white noise machines in the ceiling of the open office space to solve the problem of multiple conversations. It sounds kind of like an air conditioner and you don’t notice it unless you are listening for it, but it does a great job of deadening the sound from all around the office space.
Thanks for sharing the video. That was great! Did you takeoff/land at HNL, or a general aviation airport? How close are their offices right to the airport?

Petiolar and postpetiolar nodes with longitudinally-concentric rugae. Tibiae of hind and middle legs with well developed, pectinate spur. Quite hairy species. Antennal scape and legs with very abundant and long hairs that are almost erect on scape and sub-erect on legs; the longest hairs on antennal scape distinctly longer than maximal diameter of the scape. Body colour light brown to black, appendages yellowish brown.

Otherwise the general features of shape, sculpture and pilosity are very similar to the workers. It differs from the workers by the slightly convex lateral margins of the head, and the following details of the body sculpture: just longitudinal rugae present on the head dorsum and alitrunk with no reticulation; only the petiolar node dorsum has any reticulation. Postpetiole and gaster most probably also very similar to those of work6. </s> Adding product data accurately into Evance Commerce will enable you to build strong foundations from which to build your on-line e-commerce store or catalogue.

A council initiative to purchase existing homes to add to its list of rental properties is now available to private landlords including those who have tenants in-situ. Officials state that expanding North Lanarkshire Council’s open market purchase initiative will help prevent homelessness and drive the council’s housing supply forward.
The local council has ownership of almost 600 properties since it first launched the scheme four years ago, providing extra homes for rent in areas of demand. In locations where the council allows to obtain full ownership of a communal block, it in turn, also addresses empty/abandoned flats & houses. The initiative is now being extended to allow the council to purchase property from private landlords for the first time.
Existing renters would then be able to continue living in their current homes as council tenants, or move out of the property if they wish. Council officials explain that the scheme (upheld by the Scottish government) gives permission towards the purchase of properties which are for sale on the public market.

Title: Torture
The words echoed in her dreams, sweet and sultry in her ears. She can almost smell his cool, intoxicating breath against her skin, can almost taste it. His fingers trail down her neck, lines of ice – and fire, it must be fire, because she's never felt so hot in her life, as if her blood is boiling under her skin.
thighs.
His upper body is bare and she wants to unclothe the rest of him, to see how perfect he really is and use his cold skin to quench the flames.
She awakes with a jolt. At first she can't remember where she is or why. All she knows is that she's been pulled abruptly from the greatest pleasure of her life.
"What were you dreaming of?" the sweet voice from her dream whispers in her ear, low and husky and amused.
She gasps as recognition kicks in. Edward. She is in Edward's room, "staying the weekend with Alice" to plan for the wedding, as far as Charlie knows. Charlie also thinks Edward and his brothers are camping. He'd have a heart attack if he knew were Edward actually was, and what she'd been dreaming of doing with him.
"Oh, God," she groans, burying her face in the pillow. "What did I say?"
"Not much," he murmurs, gently brushing the hair off her neck to stroke the delicate skin there. She shivers. "Mostly you just moaned. And begged."
"Begged?" she whimpers.
"Oh, Edward, please, more," he mimics, and she feels herself blushing hotly. His fingers trail down her spine.
"We don't have to wait, you know," he says, "If it's what you want…if you're sure. I won't refuse you again."
She gulps and squeezes her eyes shut against the temptation. She does want it, more than anything. She's sure of that. But she also wants to do this properly…to have no more regrets than she's already accumulated. Oh, but how is she supposed to say no to that offer?
"We – we should do it the right way. And not just because I'm going to spontaneously combust," she manages. He chuckles, his chest rumbling and his breath fluttering against her ear.
"Well," he says, "I'm no expert, but I've heard enough filthy minds to know of ways to stave off the combustion without…resorting to extremes."
"I really don't think a cold shower will work for me," she says, the trembling in her voice belying the sarcasm.
He laughs outright. "I was referring to ways of satisfying your desires, Bella, not suppressing them."
She shudders a little at the very thought. "How would you do that?"
"How would you like me to?" he asks, teasing her.
She turns to him, nearly growling in frustration. "However you can, Edward."
He smiles and pushes her gently onto her back. "Let's find out, shall we?"
His lips are on hers immediately, cold and hard and perfect. His tongue traces her lips, and for the first time he lets her taste it. It's cold like ice cream melting in her mouth and his venom is not bitter…it's oh so sweet, nothing like she imagined. She wonders what it might do to her, the venom, but decides she won't worry about it if he doesn't. He would never do anything that could harm her.
His hands trail down her bare arms and then back up her sides under the tank-top she's wearing for bed. The cool fingers slide tentatively over her breasts, and she can't think; she can't breathe. His thumbs brush delicately over her nipples, and her heart beats fast enough to explode as electricity rockets through her, like the first time they touched, but taken to extremes, almost painful in its intensity.
Edward forcibly keeps his eyes gentle as he removes the shirt entirely, but the expression doesn't quite mask the hunger – a hunger that excites her, because for once, it's for her body, not her blood. His eyes can take in every detail in the darkness, and for once, she isn't embarrassed, because his gaze is so sincere, so convincing – he truly does believe she's beautiful…so maybe, just maybe, she is.
He disappoints her by first lowering his lips to her collar bone, ignoring the newly exposed parts of her body completely. His lips are incapable of disappointing, however, and all she can do is feel as he grazes over her shoulder and down her breastbone, toward the place where her heart is flying in her chest. His lips skim the curve of her breast, and the hair hanging over his forehead tickles her skin.
"Edward," she groans impatiently, afraid to stop him and even more afraid to let him continue at this torturous pace.
"Am I doing this wrong?" he asks, but the way he fights a smirk gives him away.
Bella frowns and crosses her arms over her chest, petulantly. "I think you're enjoying yourself far too much, that's all."
He laughs and gently pulls her arms away. "Of course I am. I have to take what I can get for now." He cocks his head to the side, considering something. "I suppose I can satisfy you now and torture you later."
She gulps. "That would work."
His answering grin is devious. "Well, then…."
Before she can register what is happening, his mouth is once again at her breast and his lips are tugging gently at her nipple. Cold and soft, his tongue flicks delicately against the swollen bud, and a moan gurgles up from her throat as the ache between her thighs intensifies.
He chuckles, and his cool breath floats across her skin like a caress. He mirrors his actions on her other breast, and then presses his tongue harder against her than before. It makes her jerk against him.
He surprises her by moaning a little himself.
"What is it?" she asks breathlessly as he continues down her body. His tongue flicks against her navel and she accidentally jerks upward again.
"I love the way you move when I'm doing these things to you," he murmurs, and she feels his lips curve into a smile against her skin. "It's…hypnotic."
She can only laugh shakily in response because he's pulling her pajama pants down, and the nervousness hits her again. This is so new, so strange for them…and still, so exciting. She hopes he likes this part of her as much as the rest, that he'll want to do this again and again with her, because she already knows she'll be wanting more after this.
"Is this okay, Bella?" he asks, sensing her nervousness, and he strokes the back of her calve, trying to be comforting – but it only stokes the fires within her.
"Yes," she breathes, "please…don't stop."
He smiles, almost a little shyly, and presses his lips to her knee, and then up… His nose skims the length of her thigh, taking in her scent, before he arrives at her damp cotton panties and inhales deeply. She blushes furiously.
"You smell even better here," he says hoarsely, and his eyes gleam in the moonlight.
She swallows with difficulty. "Well…I think that's where all my blood went. I'm fairly sure there's none left in my head."
"It's not just your blood," he says, smiling wryly as he fingers the elastic waistband of her panties. His next words are a husky whisper that sends chills down her spine. "I want to taste you."
She can only nod her assent. Almost reverently, he tugs the flimsy garment down her legs. His fingers brush her skin and make her shiver.
The fabric falls to the floor, and he lowers his head between her legs. The moonlight glints off his auburn hair and her heart thrums in anticipation. His tongue touches her folds and she cries out in surprise at the sensation.
Against her heated flesh, his tongue is even colder, like a melting ice cube, and it's both shocking and incredibly, unimaginably, unbearably pleasurable.
He laps up her juices like a cat at a bowl of milk, and every stroke of his tongue is another shock to her system, another blow to her extremely fragile self control. He holds her hips in place as he flicks his tongue upward to circle her clit, round and round, followed by a series of quick touches and long swipes. He continues in strange patterns until she's panting for breath and clutching the sheets to avoid tangling her fingers in his hair and holding him closer.
"If that was just satisfying me, what on earth is the torture going to be like?"


Zest Books, based in San Francisco, will releaseage Selves on October 31. Publishers Weekly has a thorough write-up of the endeavor, which is the collaborative effort of YA authors Miranda Kenneally and E. Kristin Anderson. The book features letters from several popular YA writers to their past selves. The letter subjects range all over the map of teenage issues, from body image to abuse to friendship to love, with specific details about all the little things that make up a teenager's daily life. (The editors have a website with sample letters -- check it out here.)
Already on the market is a similar concept in the book The Letter Q, in which dozens of queer writers pen notes to their younger selves. The SDSU Children's Lit Center actually has this book in its possession; if you are on campus and would like to read it, please stop by Arts and Letters 218!
As so many young adult and children's books focus on the struggles of finding an identity as a teenager, it's fitting that these authors would channel their experiences into anthologies about what's on the other side of those angst-ridden teenager years. And since I love children's literature and often think about my own formative teenager-hood, I thought I would take a stab at it myself.
I know it's been a difficult road. You don't like high school, because you were a new student at age 14 and everyone already had their friends established. There was no real place for a new girl, especially when you got all skinny and withdrawn. But if you're a senior now, you're doing okay. You always expected that you would pull through the lowest parts, and you have. And guess what? You're just going to keep on climbing.
You've got a handful of really wonderful friends who are going to remain in your life. And many years from now, you're going to be glad that you went to high school where you did, primarily because of these people. Your connection to your unexpected hometown is going to lead to meeting your husband, and he is awesome. And before you meet him, you'll meet some other good guys. (And, okay, some shitty ones.) The bottom line is that you're not going to be the only one without a date forever.
Your high school theatre experience will lead you to many more theatrical options in your future. One piece of advice: stop caring so much about having a starring role. You're going to find that it doesn't matter to you as much as you think it does. And that leads me to my next point:
You know how you read in that hidden spot in the stairwell during lunch period because you'd rather read than socialize? In the future, you'll find a balance between friends and books, but you're actually going to study books for a living. I'm not gonna lie -- you're going to be a graduate student and your living won't exactly be luxurious. But you won't mind, because you're going to be thrilled to feel like you're in the right place. Your bookish instincts are correct.
And remember that you are strong. You'v teenage years. College is going to rock your world, and eventually you're going to find your own little corner of the world to rock, too.

My writing appointment was with my buddy Josh Shilling from Mountain Heart and we took an idea I had yesterday and ran with it. One of the great things about writing with Josh is I get to learn a lot about today’s bluegrass bands, and the old one’s too. Yesterday Josh told me an interesting story about how comedian-actor-banjo player Steve Martin changed the lives of the Steep Canyon Rangers band when he joined them to play a bunch of shows. The band was running very much under the radar at the time but that all changed from the great exposure they got playing music with Steve. And now on their own they can command a lot more money than they had probably dreamed of. One of those great unexpected things that can happen sometimes and change a life or lives. So, I got some more great stories and a new song with Josh on Thursday. Good day.
To my brother Gary and his wife Kay who are celebrating 50 years of marriage today. Some kind of accomplishments considering how the two of them married young and probably had the odds stacked against them. But my brother joined the Air Force, got his degree and retired as a Captain. He and Kay were stationed around the world. Coming out of the military my brother had a couple of big jobs before fully retiring. The two have traveled a lot…seem some incredible places together. They raised a son who has his own inspirational story to tell after recovering from a life-threatening injury in a bike race. A story for another time. Two together…50 years…solid as a rock. For a short while when he was young my brother played bass in my band. He and Kay were destined to do other things. And because they did, they’ve built a wonderful life together and are fully enjoying the fruits of their work and hanging together through the good and the bad that all long-term couples experience. I simply could not be prouder of these two. Happy Happy Happy 50th Anniversary you two.

Even better, make an appointment to view some of these homes in person. </s> Answer: The short answer is no. If you provide paid parental leave for female employees, you must provide male employees the same benefit.
When contemplating providing paid leave for new parents, there are two sides you should consider: medical disability, and bonding with/caring for the child. Payments while a female employee is temporarily disabled (whether during pregnancy or while recovering after the birth) typically come from a short-term disability policy or paid sick leave. If a pregnant employee brings in a doctor’s note for a disability accommodation due to a pregnancy-related issue, you must treat the situation as you would any other disability.
Paid parental leave is a totally different concept. Pnd caring for a newborn n. If you choose to offer pay for parental leave, then male and female employees must be given the same amount of leave. This recently issued EEOC press release outlining its lawsuit against a prominent company for not providing equal paid parental leave shows the importance of getting this right.
Unfortunately, there is often a negative stereotype around new fathers who take the full amount of parental leave. People tend to be more supportive and understanding when new mothers use their full leave benefit but expect new fathers to return to work within a couple of weeks. Remind your managers that parental leave needs to be delivered equally12 weeks may include both medical leave for the mother and bonding time for the mother and father. However, if both parents work for your organization, you may limit them to a combined total of 12 weeks of FMLA leave for the birth or placement of a child. State leave laws may grant additional time off.
For more information, please see Vigilant’s Legal Guides, “Pregnancy Disability Legal Guide,” “Federal, Oregon and Washington Leave Comparison Chart,” and “Federal and California Leave Comparison Chart.” If you have questions on how to administer your parental leave benefits or how to comply with pregnancy disability laws, contact your Vigilant employment attorney or learn about Vigilant’s flat fee employment law advice. </s> I'm not a huge fan of those visual tooltip applications no matter if they are integrated in the operating system or in other applications like Opera. The main reason for me personally was that I never had enough windows or tabs opened that I would need a visual tooltip to find the one I was looking for. Another reason was that those applications seemed to use a fair share of the system resources to display this graphical gimmick.
