anding on the second of these, she said:
'I think you learn off your mum, to a certain degree. You know with like housework and this that and the other you see what your mum does and as you grow up you tend to do the same so it's like your mum's your […] like your mentor, like you watch her and you do what she does.'
4.7 Other participants also drew on both ways of learning, including accounts of being taught (particularly about food and cooking) and 'watching and imitating' or 'naturally picking up' other tasks, which was sometimes referred to as 'osmosis' (see also DeVault 1991 who similarly found participants using this language to describe learning about foodwork). However, several participants constructed narratives in which they made decisions to engage in household work that their mothers did not, and avoided simply unreflectively 'picking up' the practices they had witnessed growing up. For example, Hilary (pair 11, older generation) and Lynne (pair 12, older generation) spoke about how growing up in untidy houses made them want to achieve tidiness and order in their own homes. Similarly, younger generation participants talked about having different priorities which influenced their own practices, or working out their own systems that suited their lives.
4.8 These accounts can be seen as reflexive biographies, in the sense that each participant is individually making sense of what appear to be potentially conflicting interrelated factors in order to explain things like her attitude to household work and to account for particular practices. It is also evident that participants recognised that individual responsibility for household work practices is valued, and that they are trying to instil this in their children. However, Smart argues that a focus on individualisation directs the sociological researcher towards 'gathering information and evidence about fragmentation, differentiation, separation and autonomy' (2007: 189). By employing connectedness as a theoretical lens through which to view women's household work narratives, this article will move on to explore what Smart's (2007) conceptual approach can offer.
5.1 This section explores how connectedness shaped women's household work narratives: firstly by outlining how participants accounted for their attitudes and behaviour with regard to household work and then by considering the role household work plays in maintaining ongoing relationships (and how household work is incorporated into more problematic narratives of constraint and conflict (Mason 2004)).
5.2 Drawing on the idea of 'linked lives', which views the lives of individuals as meaningful in the context of other lives, (Bengston et al. 2002; Elder 1994), Smart argues that people are embedded in webs of relationships that go beyond couple relationships, stressing the importance of vertical connections to children, previous generations and ancestors (although horizontal ties can also be considered; see Davies 2015). Individuals are seen to be taking forward parts of the past, which can be physical resemblances, skills and personal characteristics, or shared values. Thus people make sense of themselves in relation to others to whom they are linked in this way, which Lawler (2014) sees as the active identity work of 'recognition', between the extremes of complete choice or determinism. The idea of being embedded in relationships influences biographical accounts of oneself which rely on both personal memories and family stories (Thompson 1993). Focusing on narrative identities highlights how participants account for the way they do and think about household work in relation to what are viewed as inherited and 'natural' characteristics that are part of a stable sense of self, but also particular experiences that are emplotted into a biography to explain the practices of the self in the present.
5.3 Sociological work on inheritance shows how various attributes and behaviours are presented as inherited, and understandings of inheritance are developed from a variety of sources and may rely on contradictory discourses in relation to different questions (Edwards 2000). In my research, describing oneself in terms of inherited characteristics also extended to tidiness:
'I think the really interesting thing like with the family dynamic is actually I'm much more like my dad, personality-wise, but I seem to have got Mum's tidying things, whereas my sister is much more like my mum, she's like a mini-me of my mother to look at, the way she talks, everything, but just tidying she seems to have got my father's genes.' (Jo, pair 12, younger generation)
5.4 Jo also described herself as a 'naturally tidy soul', which is also how she presents her mother. The idea of mother and daughter as the same kind of 'soul' evokes a tangible affinity between them that goes beyond simply behaving in the same way (see Mason 2008). As with other participants in this study who use the language of genetic inheritance, Jo's idea that she and her mother are bound in this way allows for a fixing of a close relationship that is used to shape a personal narrative.
5.5 While 'natural' explanations did not resonate for all my participants, it was at least recognised as a way of understanding one's self in relation to household work. For instance, Nicola (pair 7, younger generation), who mentioned an inherited tendency towards untidiness, felt 'it was never something that came naturally' and later talks about making a 'conscious effort' to tidy up when she gets home from work. Nevertheless she says 'I've always just assumed it comes naturally to some people because I'm just, just being rubbish at it and hating it'. Ideas of 'natural' tidiness or untidiness could be read as evidence of different personality types. However, participants combined the language of natural characteristics and personalities with more relational accounts. Kim (pair 2, younger generation) described herself as 'a very organised person, so I kind of let everything get in a mess but it's always put back tidd she describes this as her 'personality'. She also links this to her job, explaining these personality traits as 'probably why I do accountancy as well because we tend to be quite [um] rigid people'. This suggests a strong sense of self, rather than behaviour tied to a particular place or context. However, Kim then frames her tidiness in a different way, drawing on a biographical understanding:
'I can't settle if it's not tidy. I blame that on my mum because our house is always, we could play but at the end of the day it was always put back tidy so it's kind of how I've grown up, how my nan was so it's kind of a generation thing in that's how I think we should be.'
5.6 Thus according to her narrative, Kim's 'personality' was partly formed through these family relationships, and allows her to frame her attitude to household work as not simply something she is individually responsible for.
5.7 Across the sample, biographies were seen as relevant to the household work practices of participants. For example, Fiona (pair 9, younger generation) describes how, because her parents 'divided the household work pretty well between them' and had paid help in the form of a cleaner, she and her brothers 'were never given duties or things as kids…we never had anything set'. Fiona suggests that her mother 'had in her mind when we were growing up…that we shouldn't give them [household work tasks] massive importance'. She recalls that her mother 'never offered advice then about getting in a routine with cleaning or anything', and this forms part of a narrative in which she remembers 'not having a very structured routine around it and [um…] never really feeling I was doing it very well' when she had her own place. For Fiona, 'growing up' included learning about the importance of a routine for doing household work, which she worked out when she was living on her own. In terms of her own mothering practices, Fiona emphasises that she wants her son to be involved in household work, and grow up with the 'mentality' that 'there are ways of everybody chipping in to make things better'. This connects her son's biography to her own narrative, in which she has grown up from somebody who felt overwhelmed by things that seemed 'too difficult' to someone who has a clearer sense of what she wants and who acts in particular ways to make things happen (such as actively trying to influence her son's approach to household work).
5.8 Other participants spoke about the biographies of their male partners, and explained their household work practices as adults in relation to how they were brought up. For example, Karen (pair 5, older generation) draws on her remembered experiences with her husband in explaining why she taught her sons to cook in order to prepare them for leaving home:
'I just thought back really to the fact of what my mother-in-law had done and thought that he, you know, John [husband]


people wanted ‘soft-edge’ or ‘hard-edge’ landscaping – predominantly grass, or predominately paving. The overwhelming response was for predominantly grass.
We asked our Transport Consultant, Waterman Group, to completely review their transport treatment of this site.
The arrangement of junctions adjacent to our scheme do not work safely or effectively,is and improve the junctions.
The off-site highway works have been redesigned, compared to what was showed at the public exhibition. The new design replaces the gyratory in its entirety with a more conventional signal control junction.
The revised modelling is showing that these and other changes will not only mitigate for the proposed development, but will also result in an overall improvement compared with the existing position.
The junction with Creek Road has been redesigned to enable a dedicated right-hand turning lane to be added, thereby removing queueing traffic, which prevented those wanting to turn left out of Creek Road from getting up to the junction. Again, this is specifically to respond to the comments raised during the public consultation.
We met with some local groups at the outset in 2015, following Alexpo’s acquisition of the site.
The early ideas of some of the big design changes, including the revised access solution, and replacing the riverfront building with public open space, were shared with groups at that initial stage. We were pleased that we received a broad welcome to the revised approach at that time, and concluded that Alexpo should progress the plans further.
We were asked us to relook at the need for a ramp across the open space – as a result we removed the ramp. We did this by lifting the development up by 1.78 metres, which also brings the benefits of having an undercroft level rather than a further basement, more usable open space, and a better ground-level link with Cigarette Island.
Clearly the most significant height reduction is on the Jolly Boatman site. The majority of this site becomes green space, so the removal of the previously consented four-storey building of nearly 24 metres (23.835m AOD - "above ordnance datum") is a great gain.
The height is slightly increased, by 1.18m, to include a proposed plant on the roof – that includes systems such as power, heating and cooling mechanisms that modern buildings require.
The height of the residential buildings will increase by 1.78m. Crucially, the buildings continue at four storeys.
That’s 24.34 m AOD compared to 22.56 m AOD (tallest point to tallest point).
We know there is an ongoing debate about a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in this area, and indeed we witnessed the divergent views at our public consultation event.
Nevertheless, we know it is helpful to see spaces per section of development, and so we have set out a justification for this.
The maximum number of cars parked at any given time in the Network Rail car park is 92, at around mid-day. This has been demonstrated by three robust parking surveys over a period of five years. It is incorrect to suggest that we are not reflecting current parking demand, as these surveys show the car park is rarely more than just over half full.
Some people perceive the parking charges here to be high, but this site will continue as a Network Rail-operated car park and so these prices are likely to remain – it will be up to Network Rail how they manage and charge for their car park. Comparable local car parks are about the same or more expensive - the Palace car park charges £1.60 per hour and Surbiton station £8 per day.
That means that a very significant percentage – around 31% - is being built to allow for future demand that may or may not come.
Network Rail have suggested that they could allow cars to park for free for twenty minutes, to cover kiss and ride and one or two item retail activity. The food unit is likely to be very similar in size and remit to the Sainsburys Local in Surbiton station, which has no dedicated parking.
There will be 180 cycle spaces.
In addition, we are proposing wheelchair-accessible spaces, and spaces for electric cars to recharge.
Only by continuing to provide a comprehensive scheme, using both sites, are we able to give over most of the Jolly Boatman site for landscaping. This is a really important benefit, and simply won’t happen if another developer decides to limit

Orange harvest expected to be smallest since WWII, pushing OJ prices up
By Roger B. Hall on	 January 19, 2022 Stage design
This drove up orange juice prices during the pandemic, and they will likely continue to rise: Frozen orange juice futures jumped more than 50% during the pandemic, and they’ve peaked in two years last week – climbing 5% just on Thursday.
“You have your classic supply and agricultural commodity analysis. For this reason, consumers should expect “much higher prices at the supermarket”grappling with inflation in several sectors. The U.S. consumer price index rose 7% in the past year before seasonal adjustments, the biggest price risesupply is decreasing
“Florida’s citrus harvest will be one of the smallestch provides commodity testing to the agribusiness industry. “It will be even smaller than the production that happened several years ago … when Hurricane Irma swept nation’s orange juice, have been declining for years, she noted. One of the culprits is an insidious citrus disease called fewer fruits per tree.
“The disappointment of a further decline in the forecast is hard to overstate,”said in a statement. She added that Florida citrus growers are focused on “finding new solutions to citrus greening.”
“Brazil experienced a historic drought last year that significantly affected the orange crop used to produce orange juice,” Hackett said. “They won’t have exportable supplies to the [typical] level.”
And as supply contracts around the world, orange juice is enjoying a pandemic-fueled renaissance.
That’s partly because consumers’ changing ideas about health have made fruit juices, which are relatively high in sugar and calories, obsolets have stopped eating breakfast at home on a regular basis, opting instead for a meal on the go.
But during the pandemic, many have started eating breakfast at home again, and some have put orange juice back on the menu.
“We’re still facing much higher demand today than it was in 2019, before the pandemic hit,” Hackett said. “So we have this renewed demand at a time when available supplies are very low.”


Art HistoryUniversity of Southern CaliforniaGlossy Buildings, Planned Images: Architectural Photography across Contested Spaces in Los Angeles, 1940-1980This project examines the rise of architectural photography in mid-twentieth-century discourses around the intersection of art practice and urban redevelopment in Los Angeles. Architectural photography is conventionally studied as a technical practice; this project redefines it as a capacious field of images harnessed to create meaning out of buildings in relation to raced and classed spaces it helped construct. Through photobooks, magazines, artist books, and city surveys—all collaborative publications aimed at reimagining and circulating Los Angeles’s urban form as a model for the rest of the nation—the project reconsiders how architectural photography made palatable a mode of representation that seemingly integrated place, race, and nation within one frame. It argues that from 1940 to 1980, photography’s failure to visualize the social and racial complexities of particular urban spaces exposed a growing crisis over civic and cultural identity in US cities more broadly.


Former headharged with stealing $1.5 million
On Thursday April 31, former president and CEO Karen Pletzwas charged with a 24-count indictment against the university.
According to “NBC Actions News,” Pletz has garnered over $1.5 million from the university during her employment.
Sources say this was done through “unauthorized compensation payments as well as reimbursements from the university for personal expenses and fraudulent charitable contributions. She is also accused of tax violations and money laundering.”
Pletz was also charged with 16 counts of theft from the university, one count of attempting to obstruct the administration of internal revenue, and three counts of providing false information on tax returns.
“Pletz did not make these charitable donations, in fact the university made the charitable donations. Pletz then submitted fraudulent statements to the university, and received a reimbursement of $65,000 dollars for the donations that she did not actually make,” Phillips said.
A lawsuit was filed by the university for the supposed allegations.
The KCUMB Board of Trustees voted unanimously for the termination of Pletz in December 2009 after allegations of incorrect self-compensation surfaced.
“KCUMB has” Morris said. “The University has made available evidence that caused the University’s termination of Ms. Pletz in 2009, along with evidence uncovered during the civil lawsuits that followed that termination.”
Attorney Brandon J.B. Boulware of Rouse Hendricks German May, representative of Pletz, had the following to say this past Thursday:
“With today’s indictment, the federal government has injected itself into the civil litigation dispute between KCUMB and its former President, Karen Pletz. All of the issues raised in the indictment are also the subject of the ongoing IRS audit of KCUMB and its board of trustees as well as the civil lawsuit, which after filing one year ago KCUMB has done everything in its power to avoid litigating.”
“It is unfortunate, in our view, that local federal prosecutors would choose to spend public resources on a case like this when there are other, legitimate processes already at work to resolve the issues in dispute. Ms. Pletz denies and will fight the government’s charges, and pleads not guilty to any federal crimes,” Boulware said.


The detective who handles and ultimately solves the case, is our old friend Superintendent Battle. This was his last appearance and we get to know a little of his private life, for instance we learn that he has a wife and no less than five children!

2014, Egg #2. Temp with windchill: -40F.
Do bald eagles delay incubation? It wasn't an a question we've r - sometimes well under - freezing! However, this year was quite a bit warmer, and the eagles in Decorah and Fort St. Vrain seemed to spend more time off the first two eggs than we are used to.
The question seems pretty cut and dried. After all, peregrine falcons delay full incubation very consistently until the third egg in a four-egg clutch, and the fourth egg in a five-egg clutch. In cold years (2013, 2014), we tend to experience higher losses than in warm years, since eggs one and two can freeze and die prior to the beginning of full incubation. However, it isn't that simple with bald eagles and many other birds.
2016, Egg#2: Temp no windchill: between 25-40F.
Temperature aside, why do some birds begin incubating immediately? In a blog on the subject, David Hancock discussed two theories of immediate incubation: one, to protect eggs from marauding ravens and other predators, and two, to assure the survival of at least some young during periods of food scarcity. In the last case, the 'strategy' assumes that it is better to have one or two surviving children than no surviving children at all.
However, there are more benefits to delaying incubation so eggs hatch closer together: indeed, the survival of many waterfowl depends on it since adults leave the nest 24-48 hours after hatch begins, whether all of the eggs are hatched or not. Perhaps most importantly, delaying incubation helps assure that rapidly growing young are in the same stages of development. In the presence of an abundant food supply, more young will likely survive when incubation is delayed, since there will be less variation in size and ability between older and younger siblings, and food should be shared more equitably as a result.
Professor Grier pointed out that the nature (if not essence!) of biology is variation. This caused me to think back on eagles and monogamy. When we first started this adventure, everyone 'knew' that eagles were monogamous and mated for life. A new mate would be taken only if the old mate died. Remember when that was true? But once we really started looking, eagle relationships turned out to be more complicated. While many eagle couples appear to be monogamous, we've also documented extra-pair copulations, eagle 'divorce', polygyny, and polyandry.
The same is undoubtedly true for incubation. Professor Grier wrote that he would expect variation among different pairs of bald (and other eagles) in how much time they spent off the egg(s) both at the start and as incubation proceeded, as well as underWe've certainly seen that in Decorah. In 2014, February's mean temperature was 9.4F - the coldest in 20 years of recording! Under those conditions, Mom and Dad incubated almost constantly. But in 2012, February's mean temperature was 27.8F - not the warmest ever recorded, but quite close to it. As indicated by video footage and all of the blogs and posts we did on the subject, Mom and Dad spent much more time off the eggs in 2012 than they did in 2014. While weather is clearly a factor, David Hancock noted timing variability between rural and urban bald eagles, and speculated that the presence of predators might make a difference in whether incubation was delayed.
So philosophy aside, can we really answer the question of delayed incubation in bald eagles and other birds? That's a tough one. The onset of incubation doesn't seem to involve timing in most species of birds, since they appear to be responding more to external factors than to an internal clock. This makes it hard to define what exactly 'delay' is for most birds. If I'm staying off my eggs because it is warm out, am I really a delayed incubator? If I almost always incubate right away because I lay eggs in sub-zero temperatures, am I really an immediate incubator?
Short answers are often necessary in our instantaneous and highly-connected world, so here is mine: "Bald eagles may or may not begindepending at least in part on local factorpredators. Apart from that, bald eagles exhibit variability: that is, not all pairs act the same way, even given the same or similar situations. There is more to learn, so keep watching, keep documenting, and trust the eagles!"
I'm going to close by quoting Professor Grier again: "T" In my experience, almost every time we say a species always does this, or never does that, the species proves us wrong! Onset of incubation and mating systems are just two more examples of that.
Our ideas about birds have been shaped by how we observe them. Professor Grier pointed out that in the past, normal incubation details for various birds were studied from blinds, long-term and time-lapse photography, and with electronically telemetered artificial eggs, nest thermometers, treadles or scales to measure adult presence on the eggs. He wrote: "Eagle cams provide a whole new opportunity to observe and study traits such as incubation behavior (by individual parent, gender, total time, and under various environmental conditions) on increasing sample sizes of birds under undisturbed conditions." In other words, nest cams give us an unparalleled opportunity to observe large populations of birds in the wild, relatively free from human interference. Who knows what we will find, or what theories and beliefs will be challenged? We've got the cameras in the field. The next step is to develop appropriate methodologies and tools to enable large scale data collection across species and populations.
Personal communication, Professor James Grier. Any mistakes I made in interpreting his email are my own.
Personal communication, Bob Anderson. Bob used to tell us that eagles were pretty smart, but peregrine falcons were only about as smart as garter snakes. Even though he loved falcons, he believed that their lower intelligence made them less variable in their response to external stimuli. While that was outside the scope of this blog, I will return it later on.
We had an intruder at the Decorah North Nest on March 13th. While Dad was in the nest incubating the pair's single egg, a roughly four-year old female eagle perched on a limb right next to the nest tree. He responded by covering the egg, softly vocalizing, and ruffling his feathers. The whole encounter lasted about fourteen minutes.
I was intrigued by Dad's soft vocalizations. Why didn't he call a little louder? I went to our panel of eagle experts for an answer. Jim Grier and Brett Mandernack both provided insights into Dad's behavior. Note that neither Jim nor Brett referred to the eagles by title (Dad) or sex. Those additions are my own.
Jim has extensively studied eagles in Ontario and along the Mississippi River Valley. He noted that the density of eagles is getting so high that it might be changing eagle "society" and interactions, or bringing out behaviors that don't occur in lower density [and perhaps limited food-base] situations.While we don't think of the Decorah North Nest as urban, bald eagles along the Mississippi river and its environs are urbanizing as the population density grows. Our initial ideas about the lonely majesty of the bald eagle may have come from observing lower-density populations in a landscape much less impacted by human beings.
"Direct" gaze can include both truly direct, focused straight at -- with both eyes and holding the gaze -- or what I call indirect-direct, mostly a side-ways look with occasional looking away and often with raised hackles, all of which is the prelude to an attack if an intruder doesn't back off. When an eagle is presented with a new individual that it doesn't know but which it is not particularly concerned about, it will "study" the new individual, looking directly at it and looking at different parts of its body. Then it will look away briefly, then look back and study it some more, and alternate with increasing lengths of time looking away and shorter periods of gazes ... until it becomes "familiar" with the new individual and then, subsequently, usually only glance occasionally at the individual but mostly seeming to ignore the familiar bird nearby.
Jim went oteraction.
"An alternative interpretation might be that there is a conflict between opposing behaviors, such as aggression toward the intruder in conflict with, or inhibited by, a higher drive that results in priority on protecting the egg (against either the outsider or accidental damage by the parent itself if it were to move around too much near the egg, as in the behavior of balling of the feet when moving around the egg). All of this is stereotyped action patterning that has been shaped by eons of evolution. The interactions have likely happened many times ancestrally with selection of survival and reproduction producing the optimal solution of trade-offs.
Contributing to all of this is the fact that the perched outsider, younger bird, isn't making moves toward the incubating adult and also not staring at it, but just mostly looking away ... as if they're familiar with each other, or that any serious interaction occurred earlier and have now run their course so we're just seeing the end of it.
All in all, it somewhat reminds of the reduced level (to my Ontario and previous MN experience) of aggressive interactions that I observed among close nests when we were doing the FWS aerial monitoring surveys along the Mississippi River in 2009. We might be seeing a new social order in eagles! (Or, at least new to us, behaviors that are more likely elicited in a new [to us] high-density eagle population [and high productivity of prey base, so food shortage is not a factor].)"
In short, what looked to our eyes like an aggressive interaction was not really very aggressive. Dad didn't challenge the intruder with a direct gaze, loud vocalizations, or an attack. He might be familiar with her (and possibly even attracted to her), or an aggressive response might have been inhibited by a higher priority to protect the egg. The intruder also wasn't aggressive. While she remained near the nest, she didn't try to enter it or engage Dad directly, and Mom displaced but didn't seriously attack her when Mom arrived at the nest. While we think of bald eagles as being non-social on their breeding territories, their interactions with and signaling towards visitors and 'neighbors' may be more complex than we initially thought, especially as the population becomes more dense and interactions become more common.
Adult to sub-adult interaction. Another aggressive interaction. Note that eagle on the nest doesn't stand up to defend until physical contact is imminent, perhaps lending support for Jim's idea that aggressive responses might be inhibited by a higher priority to protect eggs.
We are sure people are curious about whether or not the intruder could be offspring from a previous year. We can't dismiss it, since eagles are philopatric, but we also can't confirm it. Perhaps fus between bald eagles and sub-adult offspring.ta.

It was a fascinating meeting!

The likelihood of any given tree or branch to break depends on its strength, its size, its shape, its health, and its location, all which affect its capacity to withstand loading by things like wind, ice, and bald eagle nests. In general, thicker trees are stronger than thinner trees, balanced trees are stronger than top or side heavy trees, healthy trees are stronger than sick or dead trees, and trees composed of dense or heavier wood are stronger than trees composed of lighter wood. Location can impact a tree's exposure to lightning and affect how it grows in the presence or absence of light and prevailing winds.
Specific Gravity:an object is. However, other mechanical properties also influence a tree's strength.
Modulus of Rupture, or MOR: MOR is a measure of the maximum bending load in a material just before it yields or ruptures.
Modulus of Elasticity, or MOE: MOE is a measurement of stiffness that determines a material's deflection from a load.
Trees experience dynamic and static loading. Static loads are long-term and don't change quickly. Think of growing limbs or a bald eagle nest. Both of these things place a load on a tree, but they happen slowly and the tree has time to respond to them. Dynamic loads like wind gusts occur immediately and unpredictably, giving a tree no time to respond. Think of N2 - a healthy tree! - snapping during a storm in July 2015.
Also keep in mind that the measurements for MOR and MOE are mega- and giga- pascals respectively. A pascal is one newton per square metre, or While some of these trees are stronger than others, a lot of force is needed to rupture or displace any of them! A cottonwood has the lowest MOR, but it would still take 58.6 million pascals to break it. That's a lot of static force! The DNN nest might be large, but a sturdy white oak is more than capable of supporting it. If I'm doing the calculation correctly, the weight of a roughly 2000 pound nest converts to 8825 newtons, or .008 MPa, which is nowhere near the weight or force needed to cause static rupture in any of these trees, assuming that they are healthy and the nest is relatively well balanced.
Like people, trees grow and change throughout their lives. Stress effects wood growth or build up: the more stress or compression there is on an area of a tree, the more wood will build up there to counterbalance it, toughening that area of the tree and expanding and pushing back in the opposite direction of the compressive force. You can sometimes see this on the underside of large tree limbs and you can clearly see it in cut wood. Naturalist Bernd Heinrich writes: "In tree limbs the greatest stress occurs in the “hinge” area, at the attachment to the tree. It is here that the growth rings of limbs are thicker on the bottom than on the top. A mechanism of selective wood deposition could help to brace the limbs up laterally." If we sawed through the limbs that supported N2, we might find that they were thicker and had a different pattern of deposition than similar limbs that did not support bald eagle nests. As the tree grows, it responds to the weight of nests and branches by piling on more wood where it is needed - and trees overbuild to begin with!
Of course, limbs and trees do sometimes break. However, bald eagles have a remarkable record of success when it comes to choosing trees. One study found that, of more than 10,000 bald eagle breeding attempts that were.
So do eagles somehow know where to place a nest for strength and balance, or is it not possible to begin a nest anywhere that isn't well balanced already? The more questions I ask, the more questions I have! But either way, bald eagles are master builders and the trees we have nests in are more than strong enough to hold them!
This bald eagle nest is located in a tree about 12 miles from my house. As you can see, it is a big nest in a small tree! Bald eagles have occupied it for roughly four years. During that time, the tree has responded to the weight by deforming and thickening. I suspect this tree will go down some day in a storm, since it is more prone to succumbing to dynamic loading given its top heaviness. However, this photo gives us a great look at just how strong trees really are.
This was the most technically difficult subject that I have ever written about. Wood strength and qualities are measured in many different ways, boards are not the same as live trees, and even arborists and horticulturalists think about and measure trees in various ways. Since trees are alive, they also aren't as uniform as, say, a nice pine 2x4. I found all of the articles I read to be fascinating (except the ones I couldn't understand at all) and they helped me to garner a whole new measure of respect and appreciation for the trees that surround us.

OK, i’m getting so into your website, i’ve been pressing my Mother, grand-daughter or Capt. Phillip Da Cruz for anything after him and she had nothing and now because he was the brother to your ancestor, i can now go back and have the names all the way back throughout he generations. i’m so happy about this. My Dad will be too, i was wondering if you do this professionally, if there is any way that we could pay for your expertise to help fill in the blanks on my Father’s side.
Hi Cousin! I’m so glad my posts are helping you connect with your ancestors. From what I have been able to find, our family leads right back to one of the original “discoverers” of Cabo Verde, Antonio da Noli.
Wow! That’s amazing. i’m going to be all over this site, and sending it to my mom and sisters tonight. But i was wondering one thing, if you happen to know the name of Captain Philips wife? Joseph Cruz’s Mother? Thats my moms Grandmother but she must have passed young because she only knows her grandfather Jo and his wife Isabel Cruz, but not Captain Philips wife’s name. Hoping you do. Thanks again! Good Night!
Hi – her name was Mary Rodrigues. She was CV and born in San Francisco. I’ve never Ben able to find a death certificate for her, nor any info on when she died.


Researchers can often find useful scholarship by identifying one particularly relevant text and seeing which sources that text cites.
With print texts, this process might involve checking the bibliography. In some databases, you can also trace citations forward in time and find subsequent material that cites a particularly useful resource. Use the databases listed on the "Finding Peer-Reviewed Articles" tab to find a relevant resource and then paste the title of that text into Google Scholar to see more recent texts that cite your original source.
Keep in mind that Google Scholar contains much peer-reviewed literature, but also includes sources that do not qualify as peer-reviewed (for example, master's theses). Be sure to double-check the source to ensure that it's peer-reviewed before using it in your essay.

The city has created several ways to monitor water quality in Montréal. Reduction at source of pollutants, wastewater discharge controls and monitoring aquatic environments help protect ecosystems and biodiversity.
Before discharging wastewater or contaminants, companies and dental offices must request a permit. To receive one, they must provide the city with proof that their equipment complies with the criteria for obtaining a permit and current regulations. Once a permit has been granted, the city will verify that regulatory requirements and standards are respected. For example, it may take samples to measure the quantity and nature of pollutants discharged.
Immediately notify the city of an accidental discharge. The causes of the discharge as well as measures implemented to prevent it from recurring must be provided within 15 days.
The Réseau de suivi du milieu aquatique (RSMA) conducts analysis and monitoring at more than 500 sampling stations in Montréal. Through various programs, the monitoring network evaluates quality in waterways (COURDO), at shorelines (QUALO), in streams and other inland waterways (RUISSO) and rainwater (PLUVIO). Sampling results on specific dates are published via a map (in French). Parameters analyzed (in French) and the network annual report (in French) can be consulted on-line.
You can report a situation relating to a waterway or sewer that seems abnormal or suspicious. Complaints are analyzed within 24 working hours, or on Monday if they are sent during the weekend. In case of an emergency, a team will go to the site rapidly. You will be advised of the measures taken.

Our cats have full roaming access to the whole house, and yet, all they want is a deep dive into the kitchen sink. We spray the water bottle, stomp our feet, clap our hands, put on stern voices, NO! GET! DOWN! BAD!, we’ve tried it all. J even became the blanket monster, draping the fuzzy chewed-up blanket over his head like a young boy becoming a superhero at bath time, those socked feet stomping on our hardwood floors with a deep growl meant to scare and a cape that flies. The blanket monster, though fierce and heroic, still didn’t train the beasts. They scurried away with puffy tails for a few minutes, but came back for another plunge, desperate to lick crumbs and chew the rubber sink stopper (a mystery).
One day, I lunged at growling Maisy in the food pantry, a second too late as she swallowed a whole rubber band in two gulps. We have yet to see that rubber band again.
Maybe we all just want what we can’t have.
We spent days with our hands in buckets of warm soapy water, wringing out rags collecting dirt and dust and dead bugs wiped from windowsills. At our home inspection before buying, the inspector noted that the windows were all missing screens. The screens are all downstairs, they said, we took them out because they block our view.
Piles of screens stacked against the basement walls, we scrubbed them down, dirty and rusty after years of useless waiting. We dreamed of opening our windows to smell the grass and the burgers on the grill next door.
And then, J went to take a picture of our deer friends visiting. But the camera can’t see beyond the screens, focused on the tiny black grid. Today, on this rainy day, I’m looking out through two layers of rain, droplets smearing on the windows and screens.
Maybe they were onto something, we both agreed. The screens will stay.
These days, the family that Zooms together, stays together. (The couple that downs Oreos together, stays together.) Meanwhile, we long for days of hugging hello and passing the butter dish, blowing out birthday candles in the same room. Dare I say it, we even miss routine teeth cleanings and the smell of strangers’ sweat at the gym.
It will happen, the sun will shine again and then we’ll want nothing more than a day at home to listen to the rain pour from our gutters and tap on skylights, to make hot shower steam mix with raindrops on the bathroom window and feel like home (with a book) is the only place to be on every stormy quiet Thursday.

Okay, you've got two options: watch a webinar, or watch french maids in skimpy outfits (think the Halloween variety, and then extract a few more layers) host a webinar on how to buy lingerie; which do you choose?
Chances are if you're a hot-blooded male, the latter is the more interesting choice. Even we females would probably appreciate something scintillating over the typical dry webinar. Web conferencing service Dimdim is banking on this very notion, as they've recently just released a new webinar product and are marketing it with a sexy social media twist. The campaign utilizes the hot web stars of Tim Street's French Maid TV to market Dimdim's new product, Dimdim Webinar. The deal has been a year in the making, but the end result is that ladies in scantily clad attire will be spreading the Dimdim Webinar message with their new video, already making the rounds, and an upcoming webinar.
"The hot, funny, sexy girls of French Maid TV will be giving an online webinar via Dimdim. Join these tantalizing French Maids as they demonstrate the different types of lingerie and how you should go about purchasing bras, panties, corsets and other unmentionables for yourself or that special someone. The French Maids will also be previewing Sexy Halloween Costumes. This Webinar is for ages 13 & up and may contain content"


Uh-oh!So it may not simply be a windshield mounted 9500ci after all!
And to think.........I ate a big plate of crow for nothin!
Glad to hear your having fun with it Happy!
So now you believe the thing "sees" through hills?
I think mine must be hot on K band, it is by far the most sensitive K band detector I have ever used. Factory freak?


There to be done, food, showers, early bedtimes, etc. All of this can add up and be taxing on our host and can add to the stress of our trip as well. Thank you to Extended Stay America for having my family at their hotel in Vancouver, WA and for sponsoring this post, regardless all opinions are factual to our stay at the hotel.As a single mom with three kids it can be hard to find a place to stay that feels safe and also will allow me to have three kids in the room. Now over the years, I have grown to be more critical of my requirements of where we stay when we travel! Plus not to mention when we have out of town soccer tournaments we end up staying at hotels as well our convenience and making it easier on Michael as well. I love that Extended Stay America is the perfect hotel for families on a budget to stay at when traveling or visiting out of town guests!
Now you want to know my favorite secret for saving money on hotels??? I go through Topcashback or Ebates, always double check who has the biggest cash back. I then book thru Hotels.com where every 10 nights I earn a free stay! Now back with your first purchase! I don’t shop online or make travel plans without checking these sites for cash back!
Pet-Friendly- We don’t travel often with our dog Bentley but when we need to find a hotel, hardly any have affordable deposits are hard to find. I love their pet policy and how they charge for their pet-friendly rooms. Be sure when reserving to mention your pet and double check fees.
The room was comfortable and I loved all the storage. See that in the bathroom that’s a whole empty shelf under the sink. I don’t have to tell you how much stuff our family hauls with when traveling so having a shelf to store everyone’s “stuff” plus the extra towels we needed was amazing. Plus having a bathtub and a shower is great for families, and it was large enough I could move around in there getting hair done for kids.
Every time we were coming and going from the hotel the front desk was staffed and there to greet us!! Check in was a breeze with everything the hotel offers explained to us and told us to give a ring if we needed anything.
this is great information! We just booked 2 months at an extended stay while we wait for our house to be ready!! thanks for sharing at the create link inspire party!

When I realized my slip, feeling kind of stupid, I had a bite and discovered, oh yeah, this tastes great too. I kind of knew it would be good, but that first bite took me by surprise because it was even better than I imagined. The chives and parsley in the cheese mixture did their appropriate herbal thing, and of course the cheeses were excellent. And, browned butter never hurts. With the cheese filling, butter, and herbs, the beet flavor of the pasta was barely noticeable. But, when tasting a bit of pasta with no cheese, a subtle beet earthiness was there. It was definitely worth the trouble because the ravioli were even more delicious than they were pretty.
Your cooking is beautiful.
When are you writing your OWN cookbook?
This looks absolutely gorgeous!! What a lovely bright red hue...
Wow! What a wonderful punch of color the beets provide to the ravioli.
These look absolutely incredible. I've never made pasta, but am working up to it. Gorgeous.
Hey I made this beet pasta as well. It was a while ago but we all loved it. Your looks much more pink than mine! Love your filling.


The old man sat on a wooden stool, in a busy area of Frazackstan Airport. Head down, and pressing against the palms of his hands and knees, he felt lonely, forlorn and afraid. In this sad state of desolation, nothing was to his satisfaction –the coffee and croissant tasted awful, and the air was thick with smoke. Here in Terminal 2, everyone and everything felt hostile, and the dark drums within the restless minds of the unshaven Frazacks, echoed of every surface, and made him long for home.
More mountains, he thought, but at the same time as he was dealing with this reflection, mercifully, another kind of mountain entered into his conscious mind.
It was William Holland, (aka Billybuc) his friend, who had told him the story of ‘the woman on the mountaintop.’ Now it came as a welcome solace; vigour entered his body, and he longed to journey home. Dr Spazek remembered the ethereal photo that Bill had shown him – that enchanting figure of ‘the woman on the mountaintop.’ To him she represented hope, that soaring attribute, that undying and much needed golden scepter which he yearned to hold on to, to soothe and calm his Spirit.
He could see her standing there, hands folded above her head, as if gazing at the infinite; it’s numerous possibilities. Once more she shone with radiance in his thoughts; danced her way into the cobwebs of his mind to grant him peace. Feeling better, he began to remember the configuration of white clouds; the vastness and freedom of the blue sky, as he wept with relief. Somewhere in the core of his being, the fragrant smell of the valley came to him; he saw the silhouette of the distant mountains, and dreamt of future sunbeams.

I note that some really good writers have contributed to this challenge also. I commend you all, and now include the second of my humble inputs, a short story in prose. In Joy and Light.
How very beautiful your words are. There is always hope.wven after profound loss.
Splendid, Manatita! Simply splendid!
This is a wonderful response to Bill's challenge. A good read and very uplifting. Now I am off to read your poetic response. Well done, voted up.
A lovely story - thanks for sharing.
Wonderful story about this man. Who could not be inspired by the photo of this amazing lady?
Your poem was great and it's wonderful to see your prose for a change - it attains the same high standard as your poetry. Great!
This is an interesting story with a very hopeful and inspiring ending. It's a lovely contribution to Bill's challenge!
What a beautiful story that epitomizes what it is to find the hope to keep going.
Not only are you a quality poet, my friend, but your prose is beautiful as well. Thank you for this bonus entry in the challenge. It really is exquisite.
This is one of your very best Manatita! When you write words of hope you open the door for the lonely and forgotton to catch a glimmer of light once more. Beautifully penned. Shared on Twitter. Bravo!


It's very easy to be consumed by all of the negative things around this. Howeverhelp effect positive changes and take steps to a better series of outcomes. So I will borrow one of my favorite quotes: "Action is the only truth."

The radiologist's gerbil wheel: interpreting images every 3-4 seconds eight hours a day at Mayo Clinic
If today's t's aAt Mayo Clinic, interpretation responsibilities and work assignments (called worklines) have historically divided by modality, study type, and subspecialty. Over the 10 year time span, staff radiologists interpreting CT exams had between five to 37 years experience; radiologists interpreting MRI exams had between five to 31 years experience. The radiology department went filmless in 2004, but had been using PACS technology for CT and MRI interpretation since 1999.
The analysis identified:
the total number of CT (994,471) exams and MRI (522,678) exams interpreted;
the percentage increase of CT exams (68%) and MRI exams (85%) from Year 1 and Year 10;
the total number of exams interpreted for each modality per year. This represented a 1300% increase in CT images from Year 1 and Year 10, and an increase of 540% for MRI exams.
The research team identified four factors responsible for increases in utilization:
A transition in evidence-based medicine showing the superiority of CT and MRI images to conventional radiographs;
Ongoing technological improvements in advanced imaging modalities and software;
Technological advances increasing the speed with which both CT and MRI images can be acquired and image-processed;imaging applications;

The Aqua Combo offers a waterside or dry slide capability, as well as a bounce area where your wet riders can go from wet slide to bouncing without worrying about getting the bounce area wet!

What ages is this unit best for?
The Aqua 3 in 1 Combo is a great unit for children up to about ages 10 or 11. At those ages kiddos still love to jump and bounce, so this unit offers the best of both worlds to them.

Then there’s the bullying factor to consider. When I was young, I was tormented by bullies and they didn’t have access to social media. Social media can be a positive experience . Unfortunately, the same power that lets people from far away connect based on similar interests, also gives bullies a global platform from which to terrorize.

If software like Veeam was involved - I'd definitely go RAID because you don't want to interrupt the synthetic fulls / replication chains ..  but this is a smaller office .. so I'm left weighing it out.
A: Sounds like this is Veeam.
I use RAID6 on all my nas devices when I am using a setup like yours. If it is a Windows Server I will use storage spaces with SSD tier and a capacity tier. RAID5 is unacceptable on big drives (still usable on SSD).
 </s> Q: 3ware: Is it possible to add a new drive to an existing raid5 set? Idrive to a raid5 set with the purpose to expand the storage available in the set. 9550 controller
A: First of all, you should not use RAID5 today. Once a single drive fails in your setup and you replace it, it is very likely that a second drive fails during rebuild phase, and all your data is lost.
Your best option is to upgrade to at least RAID6.

‘Mulan’ goes heavy on the action, but light on the character development
Over five months after it was set to hit theaters, Mulan has finally seen the light of day– just not in the way moviegoers expected. The House of Mouse tried and failed (understandably so) to make a handful of new theatrical release dates work before ultimately making the choice to send its latest live-action remake straight to Disney+ for an extra fee.
It turns out the decision was the right one.
When it comes to Disney’s live-action remakes, there hasn’t been much variation in storytelling. The new versions can range anywhere from a carbon copy of the original (think last year’s The Lion King) to a carbon copy of the original with, like, one or two twists (think last year’s Aladdin or Dumbo).

Here, though, Disney has finally branched out and flipped the script entirely, bringing a completely different tone and style to the film. Gone is the classic soundtrack, the romance, and even the iconic dragon Mushu, in exchange for a gritty, martial arts-focused battle film that puts giant action set pieces ahead of all else.
Anyone who’s seen the original 1998 animated version of Mulan should be familiar with the general premise here, because that’s still the same. When Northern invaders attack,With her ailing father (Tzi Ma) unable to serve, his fearless d man to volunteer in his place. Undercover as a man, “Hua Jun,” Mulan trains to unlock her inner “Qi”– a force that when harnessed correctly can give her near superhuman abilities in battle.
Where things take a bit of a turn from the original is with the villains. There is no Shan Yu, leader of the Huns, but instead, it’s Böri Khan (Jason Scott Lee) and the evil witch Xianniang (Gong Li). This twist, along with Mulan’s family’s history with the phoenix and the inclusion of the “Qi,” allows the modern version to still embrace that same Chinese mysticism without making the film feel too juvenile with animated talking creatures.
First and foremost, Mulan looks great. From the sprawling sets and backdrops to the costumes, colors, and high-flying stunts, everything about the look of this movie is beautiful. Many of Mulan’s live-action counterparts from Disney have been criticized for their blandness and lack of color, but that’s certainly not the case here. Whether it’s the bright fabrics, intricate makeup or stunning landscapes, something on screen is always popping.
One of the things that makes the action sequences so appealing is their elegance. It’s clear Mulan was inspired by a long history of martial arts films, as the fighting isn’t about brute force and weapons clashing, but instead feels more like a dance. Again, the mystical elements come into play with obscenely high jumps, flips and agility, which make for an incredible visual experience. D dive even deeper into the action, rotating the camera to provide views and angles that are just as mind-bending as the stunts themselves. Despite its place under the Disney name, Mulan certainly earns its PG-13 rating. Yes, this is a Disney classic, but it’s a very violent one. There’s no blood or guts, but the battle scenes do contain a surprising amount of death and destruction, which led to some pretty jarring tonal shifts once the film reverted back to typical Disney dialogue and one-liners in between the fighting.
Beyond the action and general look of the film, Mulan struggles when it comes to developing its characters. While the inclusion of Xianniang as a new antagonist provided a refreshing twist, the witch also served as an embodiment of the film’s surface-level characters. Time and time again she made strange decisions ranging from questionable battle plans to a complete and inexplicable 180-degree change of heart in a matter of minutes. But she wasn’t the only character to struggle.

Even the titular Mulan failed to deliver a truly compelling performance, but much of that stems from clunky and basic dialogue. Instead of allowing audiences to connect with the film’s characters, the script kept them at arm’s length through oversimplified and generic conversations that often had characters stating the obvious. As a result, it felt hard to fully invest in the fate of those on screen, and the stakes of the film suffered a bit. As entertaining as the action set pieces were, it wplaced on building these characters in order to bring the emotional level up to par with the film’s spectacle.
As exciting as it is to finally see a live-action Disney remake branch off from its predecessor, one of the greatest fears fans had upon hearing of this departure concerned the epic Mulan soundtrack. With hits like “Reflection” and “I’ll Make A Man Out Of You,” how could you possibly leave those tracks out this time around? Well, composer Harry Gregson-Williams delivered with a beautiful score that weaves some of the original’s most iconic themes and motifs into this new version. The absence of the musical numbers doesn’t end up being a huge deal, but it still stings hearing an army general tell his troops “We’re going to make men out of all of you,” and not seeing everyone immediately break into song.
The more financially-pressing concern moviegoers likely have about Mulan is its steep price. By forgoing a theatrical release, Disney put the film on its streaming service at a premium. Disney+ already costs subscribers $6.99 per month, and they’ll have to be willing to spend an extra $29.99 as a one-time cost to access Mulan. The good news is, once you pay, it’s not a 24-hour rental– you have access for rewatches as long as you remain a Disney+ subscriber.
While it doesn’t live up to the high standards of its animated predecessor, Mulan takes a bold step in a new direction. Its characters may be a bit limited and the story not all there, but it sure is beautiful to look at, and a decent amount of fun.

Our friend Aron has now been reunited with his whole family, his oldest son Marhowie is now here! (got to meet him via skype), and rang in the new year at home!


The criminal justice system of India used to preach deterrent measures during the pre-independence era, where, most of the time, the intention behind detaining prisoners was to obstruct the struggle for Independence. Per contra, in this post-independence era, when human rights are treated as basic inalienable rights, even the prisons have undergone various reform movements.
To understand the effectiveness of the prison reforms and its implementation in India.
Oftentimes, when we speak of human rights, we talk about only civil and political rights; there are quite a few human rights which are respected and protected within the grid of criminal jurisprudence. In India, human rights are guaranteed and shielded by the Constitution itself. The advantage of including these rights in the organic law of the country is that they cannot be altered or abrogated except by constitutional amendments, which is not an easy task to go with in India. Conspicuously, the dignity of the individual being a crux and the aim of a welfare state through human development being rudimentary to governance, the actuality of constitutional governance is prominent on human rights, and that is where our constitutional philosophy lies.
Article 28 ofrecogniz” Closely following this, Article 38 of the Indian Constitution requires the state to “S indeed is the ultimate objective of the whole part IV of the Indian Constitution. The right to development has now come to be recognized as inalienable human right in which all rights and fundamental freedoms can be realized under Article 1U.N. General Assembly Resolution. It is also recognized thats per Article 2(1),
The right to development in India is grossly derailed by the astonishing nature of the development problems the country faces.[3] At the root of these problems is poverty, illiteracy, overpopulation which forms a vicious circle each contributing to the other. Most of the prison inmates are males who have little or no employable skills. They are also frequently school dropouskills, poor self-concepts and negative attitudes toward education. Effective rehabilitation and development Programs facilitate prisoners with their social skills, artistic development and techniques and strategies to help them deal with their emotions.[4] In addition, these programs emphasize academic, vocational and social education. The inmates who participate in these programs do so because they see clear opportunities to improve their capabilities for employment after being released.[5] Program success or failure is hampered, however, by the values and attitudes of those in the authority position, overcrowded prison population conditions and inadequate funding for teaching personnel, supplies and materials.[6] Thus, efforts in this direction would help stimulate development which will go a long way to help the prisoner rehabilitation process.
Article 20 (2) embodies the common law rule of nemo debt visvexaria i.e. no man should be vexed twice for the same offence. If a man, he can take complete defence for his former conviction. In the case of Union Carbide Corporation v. Union of India,[10]the object of this provision was thrown light upon, which said that the provision is to avoid the harassment to a person by successive criminal proceedings when only one crime has been committed.
Article 20 (1) of the Constitution prohibits the State to give retrospective operation of criminal law. In other words, a person cannot be punished for a crime more thanoperation of law will be applicable prospectively only i.e. from the date law was enacted.
Skill Enhancement and Capacity Building conserves the energies of the prisoners, who are behind bars for 24 hours.. The educational programmes could be upgraded for both male and female prisoners. Student prisoners may be encouraged to continue their studies and to take the examinations. Vocational training should be enhanced by imparting computer skills, horticulture, agriculture etc. The heath care system of jails should be improved. Regular meditation and yoga may be conducted on a regular basis for the benefit of all prisoners. Our prison environments are unnatural and inhuman. Along with other aspects of prison life, this leads to serious psychological disorders and even insanity. The conditions, in fact, mature petty thieves into hardened criminals. Furthermore, there is no internal mechanism to check the functioning of the jails today, which remain oppressive and cruel. Suggestions like employing jail staff of high character or the strict implementation of the jail manual do not work. One section that can doggedly keep a close watch on the prisoners’ plight and make efforts to right the wrongs is the prisoners themselves. They must have the right to assemble and organize into Panchayat. Their representatives must be involved in decisions regarding food and maintenance. The supervision of the administration by the prisoners can be effective only when the rights of prisoners are spelt out. What needs urgent attention and action is the question of bias in the operation of our police, judiciary and judicial custody against the underprivileged and poor. Notwithstanding any amount of prison reform, this bias will continue as long as there is gross inequality and discrimination.
An important problem relating to over-crowding of prisons can be tackled by reducing the population of under-trial prisoners by speedier trials in special fast-track courts, LokAdalats, special courts and via video conferencing. However, it should be ensured that the prisoners should not be forced to plead guilty in such fast-track courts in the hope of getting a lesser sentence.

The concept of “due diligence” comes up in many different situations, but a comprehensive due diligence investigation typically only comes about when a company is interested in buying another company. This type of financial services investigation typically seeks information about a business to make sure a company’s investment or full purchase will be beneficial. That means exposing a business’s debts, connections, clients, employees and more. Here’s how a public records search engine can help you do just that.
Get a due diligence software to appraise everyone currently with the company
The first step for business due diligence services is typically appraising all the employees and higher-ups in the company right now. You want to see what the company is worth now with all its employees and managerial staff intact. If you come across any serious problems with any of these individuals, the company interested in buying can make decisions regarding whether it’s enough of a problem to seriously impact a buying decision.
Your first step will typically be to get more information about all the pieces of the company as it stands.
Especially in a large company, this can be extremely time-consuming if you have to do it one at a time.
Utilizing a batch processing option through a public records search engine will help you get this information quickly.
Going through everyone involved with the company for due diligence
Of course, a company isn’t just its internal structure. The external structure of a company is also extremely important because no company can exist by relying solely on its own employees. You also have to screen suppliers, contractors, freelancers and gig economy workers, retailers, middlemen, drop shippers and anyone else who works with this company regularly. A public records search can help you do that as well.
You need to screen the people who work with the company as thoroughly as you screen those who work at the company.
While you might have individualized information for employees, you’re less likely to have it for outside companies.
The right best skip tracing software can help you get to that information even if you don’t have it on hand.
Gain all the relevant information with a due diligence investigation
It’s not always enough to just get obvious information. If you want to really do your due diligence investigation correctly, you need to gather all the information you can about people inside and outside a company. Mitigating corporate risk requires that you do a thorough job, which means gaining access to all-encompassing knowledge. That’s where a legal research software can help.
Surface-level information often isn’t enough to help a client make a decision on a company.
A due diligence investigation requires that you dig much deeper than the information you can find with a general sweep.
If you want to get real information, a quality search or background investigation through a public records search engine may provide answers.
Perform a due diligence search to help your client make an informed decision
After all this, you’re going to present this information to the client that’s trying to decide whether to make a move on a company. You might not just be a licensed investigative firm, either; many firms also advise the company on which decision to make. You need a source that can help you express the information you’ve gathered, which may just be a public records search engine.
Due diligence investigations don’t have to stop at doing the research to gather information.
Some firms both gather information about a company and advise a business on whether to move forward with the deal.
If you do that, you can use a great public records search engine to help you present your information.
Using Tracers data to get to the heart of the matter
Doing a due diligence investigation obviously isn’t easy. You need a lot of information about the people inside the company, the people who work with the company, and the company’s business dealings itself. Tracers can help you do your due diligence investigations more easily and more thoroughly.
With The Premium Profile from Tracers, you can get a full profile on an individual, business owner, partner, contractor, vendor or anyone else in a company. For individuals that don’t require a full premium profile, you can look through other records, including social media information, criminal records and more.
Any due diligence investigation firms need to always be on the lookout for tools that can help them do their jobs more effectively. Tracers is the tool that can help you upgrade your business. From day-to-day searches to extended month-long investigations, you can use Tracers data to keep your client safe.
What are due diligence investigations?
The concept of “due diligence” comes up in many different situations, but a comprehensive due diligence investigation is typically when one business seeks information about another business to make sure a company’s investment or full purchase will be beneficial. That means exposing a business’s debts, connections, clients, employees and more.
Who can benefit from due diligence investigations?
If your company is interested in buying or working with another company, a due diligence investigation can be beneficial by allowing you to gather all the necessary information about anyone who works inside or outside the other company in order to make informed decisions.
What do due diligence investigations reveal?
A due diligence investigation reveals important information, such as people profiles, social media history and criminal records, about the people inside the company, the people who work with the company, and the company’s business dealings so you can mitigate risk and ensure your investment or involvement in another company will be beneficial.
What do I need to get started performing due diligence investigations in my own company?
Doing a due diligence investigation can be difficult because of the large amount of information you need to gather, but a due diligence software like Tracers can help you do your investigations more easily and more thoroughly. From day-to-day searches to extended month-long investigations, you can use Tracers data to keep your clients safe.
