The purpose of this journal is to share our adoption adventure while traveling to Kazakhstan to bring our baby home.
Today March 27 is Caleb's 2nd Birthday. Last year we landed back in San Antonio on March 20 after our long journey just in time to celebrate our new son's 1st birthday a week later. The year has gone by pretty quickly with a lot of memories of "firsts" that will last our entire lives. Caleb meeting our family and friends for the first time in person. Caleb saying "mommie" and "dada" for the first time. Caleb first learning to walk without our help just a few days after we arrived back home. Caleb's first visit to the zoo. Caleb's first visit to the beach. He loved the beach and I am sure is going to love going back this summer. Caleb's first Christmas with us. Caleb saying "luv u" for the first time. It has been a fun ride so far and I look forward to all the coming firsts to spend with my son Caleb and beautiful wife Pet. And now Caleb is about to turn 2 for the first time (and last time).
We had a great Easter! I think that Caleb is a choco-holic like his mom! He wouldn't even wait for someone to take off the wrapper before biting in. Caleb got to do 2 Easter egg hunts. One was on Saturday morning at our church. By Sunday afternoon when he got to have another Easter egg hunt at our house, he already knew what was in the eggs and he would try to open them before putting them in his basket. We had a nice relaxing Easter weekend with food, family, and celebrating Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. Caleb had given us a Christmas present of a pair of Spurs tickets to a night game on Good Friday. So we got to enjoy a good basketball game too! Also, Pet was off the whole week before Easter weekend for Spring Break. She really enjoyed being with Caleb all day every day for the entire week. She would love to be doing that full time. This summer, we plan on looking at our financial options more closely to see if that is even possible. Anyway, Caleb had a great time. We spent Easter Sunday with Pet's parents, her sister and brother-in-law, and Caleb's cousins Anthony and Tyler. Tyler is only 1 month older that Caleb so it was fun watching them both run around hunting eggs, playing, rolling around on the ground, swinging and sliding on our swing set, fighting over eggs and balloons (ok - that last part wasn't so fun).
Caleb is doing great. He is awesome! He is very sociable (unlike us) and affectionate. He is repeating and copying me and Pet so we better be careful what we say. He loves to play outside. We got him a swing set for toddlers for the Spring and Summer season so we did not have to go to a park all the time. Even at age 2 he is good at catching a football thanks to the expert guidance of his daddy :). He likes to eat pizza (who doesn't?). He loves to eat tomatoes and potatoes. He eats lettuce as long as there is ranch dressing. He would drink ranch dressing if we would let him. He has tried to grab the small dipping cup of ranch dressing and gulp it down. He was not very happy that we took it away. Indoors he likes to watch Barney so as soon as the tv goes on he says "Baa-ee". He keeps on repeating this until we cave in (so much for watching the Spurs). His birthday theme this year will be Barney. We will be celebrating his birthday this Saturday at our house. He chases our cat Astro all over the house, but hasn't caught him yet. Sometimes I pick up Astro for him to pet.  We got Caleb a Manu Ginoboli shirt when we went to the Spurs game. He looks so cute in it. He has toys in every part of our house.
Well, I guess that is it for now. Talk to you later. Here are some photos since Christmas.
One last thing. A special thanks to Rod, Kym, and Aray in California for their most recent post on their blog. They are our special friends who we got to share our Kazakhstan adoption journey with. Rod and Kym adopted their beautiful daughter Aray the same time we were over there getting our son Caleb. We will always have a special bond with them as God chose to bless both of us at the same time and place in the most memorable journey of our lives. The physical journey to a far away land and the emotional journey of starting new families together. They are now starting the long adoption process again and are planning on going back to Kazakhstan to add to their family. You can read up on their adoption adventure story to Kazakhstan to adopt Aray at "http://www.rodandkym.blogspot.com/". Another thing I think is awesome is that Aray was born on the exact same date as me - June 25.
P.S.: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALEB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Christmas was that much more special because Caleb was with us! Wow! What a terrific 1st Christmas for Caleb. Last year, he received gifts from friends and family, but didn't actually get to open them because he wasn't home yet. This year, boy did he get to open presents!! He has gotten very good at opening presents, whether they are his or not!
We have several different Christmas celebrations with different sides of families. It was a little overwhelming...needless to say, his schedule was quite messed up. He had several late nights and not many naps.
We had a couple of special surprises for Christmas. We received a wonderful package from Rod, Kym, and Aray all the way from California! It was filled with yummy treats and a toy drum for Caleb, which he loves! Then, on Christmas Day, we had a message from them wishing us a Merry Christmas. We returned their call and spoke to them on speaker phone for quite a while. We had a lot of catching up to do! It was great hearing their voices, including Aray's!! They are probably going to visit in March on their way to a wedding. It'll be exciting to see each other again and to see in person how much the children have grown!
Anyway, Caleb and his Mommy and Daddy had a wonderful Christmas! We have a lot to be thankful for!
As I type this, one year ago today, Brad and I were somewhere between Amsterdam and Taraz on our way to see our Caleb for the first time! What a year!!!!
Well, Caleb is now 19 months old! Wow! He is growing taller and saying new things each day! He loves to say "ball!" In fact, anything round is a "ball". For instance, the moon is a "ball!" So you can imagine what he thought when we went to a pumpkin patch!
He had a good time on halloween with his cousins Anthony and Tyler. Caleb and Tyler didn't quite know what was going on...why there were dressed as animals, but they had fun. We only visited Grandparents' houses and a few neighbors, but as you will see in one of the pictures he was tired by the end of the night.
Well, we've been home from Kaz for four months now. Wow, in some ways it seems like it has been longer than that, and in other ways it seems like we just got home.
Caleb is doing wonderfully! He is very healthy! The only thing that we are working on is his slightly deficient iron level. We are giving him an iron supplement daily. He sure is growing! At 15 months, he weighs 22 pounds and is about 30 inches tall! He eats just about anything that we give him. He no longer takes a bottle during the day, but most nights before bed he does take one.
He is saying more and more things. His favorite word is still kitty, however uh-oh and duck are gaining ground. He also is starting to say his cousin Tyler's favorite saying, I like it!, with the emphasis on the word like. It's amazing how much of what we say he understands! It is absolutely hilarious when someone asks a question like, "Where's Daddy?" Caleb shrugs his shoulders, while putting his hands up with his mouth wide open. You have to see it to really appreciate it!
Since being home, we've had many celebrations, went on a family vacation to the beach, and have just had a lot of fun! Here are pictures of some of those occasions!!
Fun at home: swimming and shooting hoops.

« NASCAR Racing: The Brickyard 400
NASCAR Race Fan Commentary »
Commentary: I Love NASCAR. Please Put It Back
Winston Cup racing was the best racing. Bill France had a vision about racing and startis son Bill, Jr. got together with R. J. Reynolds and their Winston brand and made racing wonderful. It became Winston Cup and the fans piled into the stands.
Also in 2003, Matt Kenseth won the championship, despite only having one win. I have to say, it was exciting to watch him race every week. He may have only won one race, but he was right there at the finish of every race. To me, this was what racing was all about.
The Chase has been here since the 2004 Season. Kurt Busch, who was a tenth place team, went on to win that first Nextel Cup. And I had to ask why having a tenth place team winning it all would be exciting. Tony Stewart won the next year, and I had to ask why crowning a Champion based on ten races was exciting. And then came Jimmie Johnson. He has figured out how to win in those last ten races and has been the champion four years in a row.
While that is quite an accomplishment, it isn’t really what fans are looking for. Under the old system, Jimmie would not have won four in a row. And I have to say that having the same driver win year after year isn’t particularly exciting. Unless you are a Jimmie Johnson fan. I happen to be a fan. But the chase has made other fans not want to watch NASCAR any more.
Sprint bought out Nextel in 2007 and NASCAR is now known as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. And everyone acts like Winston never was. Since Brian took over and gave us the chase, the attendance at most tracks has been down. And maybe the economy has something to do with it. But with that in mind, television ratings should be up. If you can’t go to the track because it’s too expensive, at least the fans should be watching the race on TV. But that is not the case.
Now Brian is talking about tweaking the chase again. He wants the chase to go to the last race of the year to determine a winner. And eliminating drivers from winning. But these drivers eliminated won’t be eliminated from racing and winning. Just eliminated from winning the chase. (?)
NASCAR racing is exciting. Double file restarts are exciting. The race starts all over. But the chase is not exciting. And the more you tweak it the less exciting it becomes. If Brian and NASCAR wants to get the fans back, I say dump the chase. Give more points for winning. Give points for winning the Coors Light Pole Award. Give more points for leading the most laps. And not just for staying out to lead a lap. Every race will be exciting. NASCAR wants the drivers to go for the win, let them get more points for winning the races. Not ten points toward the chase. And there would be no need for a chase. The driver with the most wins should be the champion. Not the best driver in the last ten races.

Sheila you said “”
Slight correction, attendence didn’t start falling consistently until the economy took a dive, not starting in 2004. And frankly yes the economy has something to do with the drop.
Well look at the recent baseball All Star game, that should have been widely watched. In fact it scored its lowest ratings ever. (e)
Despite occasional blips in general both MLB and the NFL have seen TV ratings decline over the last 2 decades.
While I agree some disatifaction with the sport is a-foot, and rightly so some think, there’s more in action than just fans abandoning the sport because if it.
sheilalovesnascar Says:
This is not the same NASCAR I fell in love with. It seams to be trying to be more like WWE. And drivers were penalized for saying so. WWe is fake entertainment for entertainment’s sake. NASCAR has always been better than that. They want to put on a good “show” for the fans. Racing has always been exciting for me to watch. All that racing and catching and passing and racing side by side for position. It’s a beautiful thing. But having a playoff system to compete with football is just not right. And not very exciting. Sponsors have gone away. And I’m not sure if it’s so much because of the economy as it is because it’s no longer about 43 cars.
Prime example. Penzoil sponsors #29 Kevin Harvick. Last year he struggled and no one mentioned him and Penzoil. They moved to Penski and Kurt Busch because he is a past Champion of the chase. Harvick is now leading the points. But he won’t win because no one leading the points before the 26th race has ever gone on to win the championship. Jimmie Johnson will win again and most fans don’t want the same driver winning them all.
But they won’t get rid of the chase because somehow it is exciting. And god forbid anyone should say it isn’t working. 30 other cars are out there with sponsors and no one knows about them because they aren’t in the chase. Attendance may not have dropped off consistently with the chase, but it had a major role in it. Brian is convinced the chase is exciting. And he’s talking about changes to make it more exciting. But there are still 43 cars racing each race. Each race is unique in and of itself. You can’t manufacture excitement. And that’s what NASCAR is hoping for with the chase. The broadcasts don’t show us all the racing going on all around the track. They concentrate on the possible and current “chasers”.
I, for one, want my beloved NASCAR back. Every race is 43 drivers. A playoff system is not appropriate for racing. The best driver for ten races wins, instead of the best driver for 36 races. You get lucky in those last ten races and you win. Why is that exciting? Having a chase does not make the racing more exciting. Why bother to race the first 26 races? Just to find out who the chosen 12 are? They are talking about 12 – 15 drivers all year. Fans of the other 25 – 30 cars don’t matter. That’s not exciting.
If they want winning to matter, instead of fooling around with the chase, just give more points for winning. The best driver all year with the most wins gets the Title. The rest is gimmick and hype. Not racing.
I took a poll among friends who love NASCAR. I asked if they should make changes to the chase, leave it alone, or get rid of it all together. Their answer was to get rid of it altogether. The system wasn’t broken. It is now. And having to tweak it only proves it isn’t working. I say, let’s get back to talking about all 43 drivers out there. And let the points leader for 36 races win the championship.


Hydroplaning is something that all drivers might experience at one point. If you have already experienced hydroplaning, which happens when the water pressure in the front of the wheel pushes water under the tire, separating the tire from the road and thereby losing traction, then you know it can be a frightening experience. You should know that today’s car tires have many new innovative features to protect your car from hydroplaning.
In fact, the Nokian eNTYRE 2.0 all-season tires makes use of many new innovations to protect against hydroplaning. Innovations like polished lateral and inside grooves give the ultimate protection against aqua planing. This is because the design of the new lateral grooves allows them to store more water from between the tire and the road and accelerates its flow from the main grooves. If in the market for all-weather tires, then the Nokian WR G4 all-weather tires are a good option with many new innovations as well to protect from hydroplaning. The “Blade Grooves’ efficiently routes rain, snow and slush away from the contact surface. It should be noted that hydroplaning can occur with both water (aquaplaning) as well as slush (slushplaning). In addition, the “Coanda technology” with its curved, ramp-like design of the tread blocks on the inner shoulder guides and accelerates the flow of water from the longitudinal grooves into the transverse grooves. These excellent slushplaning prevention properties are even retained as the tires wear down.
Choosing the right size tires for all year round use
by tsikot August 20, 2020
When choosing the right size tires for all year round use you need to not only follow the manufacturer’s recommended size tire for your car but also to consider the weather conditions you will be encountering in the area where you live. This is because there are two types of tires for year-round use; all-season tires and all-weather tires. Which one to choose depends on the climate in the area where you live. The all-weather tires are a good choice for people looking to keep one set of tires throughout the year but yet live in an area where the winters requires adequate tires to deal with snow and ice. The all-weather tires hold the “Three Peak Mountain Snowflake” emblem indicating that these tires have met the required performance criteria in snow testing and are considered severe snow service rated. With winters being quite severe in many areas of the United States, having proper snow tires is important as they are apt to handle both snow and ice.
The reason dedicated all-weather tires are the best choice in areas with severe winters is because these tires hold the same severe service rating as winter tires with the advantage of being able to be used all year round. In addition, the need to time the moment of changing of tires is eliminated. This is quite important as the timing of changeover can be quite tricky. Many areas don’t have a clear cut off between fall and winter. With surprise snowfall possible in the early fall, followed with warmer weather. If installing winter tires this becomes tricky as winter tires exist both as non-studded and as studded tires, with the laws for studded tires being quite strict on the date you are able to put them on, while in some states they are not allowed at all.
If the area where you live has mild all year-round weather, then the all-season tires are an option and probably the better choice as they have lower rolling resistance and thereby better fuel economy. All-season tires do not need to have as aggressive tread as all-weather tires as they do not need to meet the criteria for performance testing on snow. All season tires like the Nokian eNTYRE all-season tires offer excellent wet grip and stability while allowing for both comfort and performance in an environmentally friendly tire. It also offers hydroplaning protection and even has a hydroplaning indicator.
Whether the choice is to invest in all-weather tires or all-season tires the dimensions need to be those recommended by the car manufacturer. This means if the recommended dimensions are 265/70R17 then you would need to equip your car with either
265/70R17 all-season tires or 265/70R all-weather tires. In general, as long as you install the correct dimension tires for your vehicle’s make and model then you are well equipped to handle any road conditions no matter what the forecast.
All-weather tires can replace the need for dedicated winter tires
by tsikot August 19, 2020
All-weather tires can replace the need for dedicated winter tires and thereby eliminate the need to change tires in the winter. Advances in all-weather tires make them just as good on snow and ice as winter tires. This is because with improvements in the rubber compounds and tread patterns they are able to handle the most severe winter conditions. This is also why they hold the same “Three Peak Mountain Snowflake” symbol as winter tires. This emblem branded on the tire’s sidewall indicates that the tires have met required performance criteria in snow testing and are considered severe snow service rated. Since winter tires are made only for the winter season they need to be changed after the winter is over whereas all-weather tires can be used all year round.
All-weather tires like the Nokian WR G4 combine high-performance, all-season handling and reliable winter grip, making it a true all-weather tire. It takes advantage of a new all-weather dual performing compound that ensures excellent wear resistance while remaining a fuel-efficient tire. It is able to efficiently route rain and snow and slush with its functional tread blocks and “Blade grooves”. These sipes, staggered at different angles, are the reason for the effective longitudinal grip and the wide longitudinal grooves the reason for the lateral grip.
When investing in all-weather tires you eliminate the need to change over into dedicated snow tires and the need to figure out at what moment to do this. The general indications for winter tires are when the temperature drops near freezing which is vague as many areas might have weather that is unpredictable with a cold front moving in quickly, that is then is followed with warmer weather. If using studded tires this becomes even more complicated as each state in the United States has different laws for their use. There are some States that allow their use as early as September while others not at all. There are also some States only allowing rubber studs while others allow both metal and rubber studs. When to put them on depends on where in the United States you live. This is something that is not a problem if using all-weather tires.
When equipping your car with all-weather tires, make sure you follow the manufacturer’s recommended tire dimensions. If the recommended tire dimensions for your car are 265/75R16 then you would need to install 265/75R16 all-weather tires. Keep in mind if you do install winter tires instead of all-weather tires, it is important that winter tires are installed in sets of four to help maintain control and stability of your vehicle in winter conditions.
You should choose all-weather tires in areas that endure severe winters weather as they hold the severe service emblem, in comparison to all-season tires that do not.  However, if the area where you live has mild winters, then maybe all-season tires would be another option if looking for all year round tires.
Selecting tires for an electric car
by tsikot August 18, 2020
When you are buying tires for an electric car, it is important to keep in mind the differences between electric cars and regular combustion engine ones. The weight is a big differentiator for electric cars due to the amount of battery packs needed to ensure that you can drive a long enough distance. The weight causes the tires to wear faster. Another difference is that electric motors have higher torque, which also increases the wear.
For electric cars we therefore need to have wear resistant tires. You also want to make sure that the tires have a low rolling resistance, as that reduces the heat build-up in the tire and also reduces the wear. You can also get further with each charge. High quality tires tend to have lower rolling resistance than cheaper tires of lower quality.
Most hybrid and electric cars come equipped with all-season tires from the factory. This is because this is the main tire and can always be used during the summer and if the car is sold during winter time, you have to purchase a set of winter tires. The car dealer should know that the winter tires are recommended for electric cars. If they are not recommended, you should purchase another set. They also have to have the severe service emblem to ensure that they are approved for winter use.
You can also choose all-weather tires can be considered something off a hybrid between all season tires and winter tires. The all-season tires on the other hand are only safe in the spring, fall and summer season which will suffice if living in an area without winters. So if you want tires that can be used all year round even in winter conditions, then you have to use all-weather tires. Just make sure that they are recommended for use on electric cars.

Finding SUV tires for your weather conditions
by tsikot August 17, 2020
Your weather conditions will be very decisive when you make your tire selection. Even though you feel like they can drive through any road or weather conditions with your SUV, the tires will be very important to make sure that you have sufficient grip when you face different conditions. Most people think that the rugged bigger SUV tires will work also wintertime through winter conditions even though they have all-season tires mounted.  All-season tires are not safe to drive with during winter conditions as they have been optimized for different temperatures. This means that when the temperatures drop below freezing, you will be driving around with very hard tires that are not able to give you the necessary grip needed to keep you safe. The tread is also not optimized to handle snow and ice.
Therefore, you will need to equip your SUV with either SUV all-season tires, winter tires or then all-weather tires. All options are good as long as the all-season tires are only used in weather conditions that don’t include winter and for temperatures above zero degrees. The winter tires should be used for the full period where you have winter conditions and temperatures below zero degrees.  The all-weather tires, if they are approved for winter conditions, can be used for all the seasons and for all temperatures. This is of course the most convenient solution. It is also the safest tire for areas with very shifting weather conditions, as you are always ready to drive regardless of the weather.
For areas that have very harsh winters, it is better to choose tires that are dedicated for just winter and have been optimized to be the best possible tire for these conditions. If you have very icy conditions, you should probably even choose SUV studded tires for the best possible grip and performance.

Lowe's (NYSE: LOW) and Home Depot (NYSE: HD) are two of the largest retailers in the stock market, with $150 billion of annual sales between them. Income investors face a tough decision when choosing between the home improvement giants, though. While they each pay the same annual yield, Home Depot's earnings are growing at a faster pace. On the other hand, Lowe's has a better track record of dividend hikes.
Below I'll stack the two companies against each other to see which makes the better dividend stock buy today.
Yield and payout history
Lowe's and Home Depot each yield roughly 2%, which is the average for the broader stock market right now. In other words, you'd be getting just as strong of a payout if you bought a widely diversified index fund likeSure, you give up the potential for market-beating price appreciation and dividend growth in that scenario.

The most over-produced stamp was a commemorative line released in 2009 featuring the cartoon family “The Simpsons,”
About 682 million out of a run of 1 billion Simpsons stamps went unsold in 2009 and 2010. Coming in second was a series called “Flags of Our Nation” — th, but only sold about 120 million. Both series were 44-cent stamps. The price of postage has since gone up 1 cent, which means the Postal Service destroyed the leftover stock.
The OIG reviewed 37 stamp lines and found no examples of the USPS underestimating demand. The Postal Service could save $2 million a year by ending the overproduction, the inspector general said.
“If the Postal Service can’t n’t address the larger problems,” said. “Unfortu”
“It’s as simple as you print too much of something, you’re not going to sell them all. Especially when postage costs change,” Meyers said.
Responding to the OIG report, the Postal Service said it has increased the production of forever stamps, which cuts down on wasted stamps, and that it is working to fine-tune its production forecasting. The Postal Service also responded that it has transferred responsibility for Stamp Services from its government relations department to its marketing department.
Due to decreased demand and unfunded retirement liabilities for employees, the Postal Service last May announced the closure of 140 mail processing centers across the U.S., including one in Dayton and a dozen others in Ohio.
The closure of the Dayton plant will save an estimated $7.5 million in its first year, and $7.9 million annually after that.
The Postal Service earlier this month said it posted a loss of $5.2 billion in its third quarter and may lose $15 billion in the year ending Sept. 30. It has asked for Congress’ help in cutting costs by eliminating a requirement to pre-pay for future retirees’ health care and letting it stop Saturday mail delivery.

I remember when plain paper copiers used rolls of paper and not sheets. I remember when the glass on the copiers had to move back and forth. I remember when copiers used liquid ink (toner) to produce an image. I remember when you used a dial to set how many copies you wanted to make.
Back in the early eighties their was only one plan for a copier maintenance agreement. We included "x" amount of pages that either included all parts and labor except for drum and toner or "X" amount of pages that included the drum and no toner. In most cases the only way we knew how many pages were used on the copiers was from a service call or a courtesy call. Courtesy calls were used to keep techs busy when they had no calls. Techs would stop in unannounced, clean the glass, the mirrors, the lens and the covers and also get a meter read.
At some point in the late eighties or early nineties someone came up with the brainstorm to include toner in the annual maintenance agreement price.
How can that be possible, it can't be done, how can they turn a profit, they'll be out of business in a few years. Those were some of the rumblings that we heard from other dealers and industry pundits. The toner included was the birth of the cost per page. Dealers charge clients a per page cost, multiply the annual volume and all consumables are included paper and staples. Dealers found a way to make some tidy profits.
In baseball we hear about sabermetrics, which is the empirical analysis of baseball. Statistics that measure in game activity. I'm no guru when it comes to all of the analytic software that's used in the copier industry, however, I do believe that someone has done the homework on thousands of copiers in the field and had come to conclusion that if we charge "x" amount per month for "x" model of MFP that we're going to make the margin of profit that we need. Even if a certain percentage of the MIF goes over the monthly volume. Pages printed in the office is declining and not increasing. If you don't believe me just ask some of my friends at Print Audit. In fact, when the next recession hits, which it will, office printed pages could decline by another 6% (I remember this from a recent education event for BTA).
The "Flat Rate" cost for unlimited pages is here to stay because clients want predictable expenses. In addition dealers have done their sabermetrics with their fleets and have come to the conclusion that it's a profitable model when done right.

Hello, my name is Kristina, I live in Hayward, CA and I have been a caregiver for the past 10 years.
When I was 15-years-old, I became a caregiver because a close family friend could not take care of her elderly mother, I loved her mother as if she was my own grandmother so I had no problem taking care of her. At such a young age, it all came so natural to me to take care of someone with higher need. I love being needed and appreciated for the love and care that I gav this is not a regular job. This is a calling of your soul, you have to know from deep within inside your heart that you are meant to be selfless enough to care, love and protect a stranger in need. Being a caregiver also means being gentle, understanding and patient. This job itself is more rewarding than a paycheck you receive, every end of the week. In my eyes, this is what it means to be a caregiver.
My most memorable client would have to be my first client ever, the woman who made me the caregiver I am today, Miss Julia. I love Julia as if she was my own grandmother, I took care of her until she passed away. I never thought I could feel such heartbreak from a person who was not my blood but I also never knew someone could love me so much without me being their blood. She taught me about life at such a young age, I dedicate me being a caregiver because of her, she taught me how to love other than myself.

So what have these nearly 500,000 people endured as the infection took over and their bodies failed? The terrible details have been strikingly absent from most of our personal and national discussions about the virus. But if we have been thus far (perhaps somewhat willfully) blind to the excruciating ways Covid-19 takes lives, this milestone is an opportunity to open our eyes.

After being a part of Ottawa’s vibrant business community for six decades, we are hanging up our gardening gloves and retiring. We truly feel , and honoureo our loyal customers, we want to express our heartfelt thanks. We’ve been lucky to have generations of families shop at J.A. Laporte Flowers & Nursery. Our customers are the reason we’ve stayed in business so long; it has been wonderful to assist them with all of their gardening needs. For customer questions regarding gift card redemptions, credit notes and warranties for items strictly purchased in 1, 2021.
We also want to thank our incredible staff — including many family members — who have worked with u become an extension votion.
To our suppliers, who have worked so closely with us, we thank you for providing us with incredible products. We wish you continued success on the road ahead.his journey with us!
I’m at a loss for words… so sad to see your amazing nursery gone. You both were always willing to help and never seemed rushed. Your whole staff was amazing as well. Enjoy your retirement stay safe, healthy and happy you will be greatly missed. I will think of you both when my beloved golden chain tree flowers every yr.
So sorry to see you go, but all good things come to an end.My wife always made Laporte Gardens her 1st choice for your variety of flowers. Shopped there for 40 years and won many prizes at theNavan Fair for her arrangements. Happy retirement.
Ever since we moved to Ottawa over 30 years ago, never did we buy a plant/tree/shrub that wasn’t from Laporte Nurseries. Every spring had a ritual for us: walking through your beautiful greenhouses, planning for the season ahead. It always felt like going to a friend’s house. We were always greeted with warm friendly smiles and the service we received always had a personal touch.We met and cherished 3 generations of Laporte family members and truly valued all the expert advice given over the years. We learned so much! Thank you also and for providing countless summer jobs for local students, including our daughter. Jean and Estelle, we wish you both a glorious retirement. You both worked so hard over the years, time for you to slow down and smell the roses ;) and w at your nursery. Merci beaucoup et bonne retraite, vous le méritez bien!
I am so sorry to hear this news. You have been a part of our family’s vegetable garden for over 30 years. You will be missed by very many people. Thank you for being there. Wish you and your extended family all the best.
From my first house to the “last”. Laporte’s was the place to go for anything outdoors. As a former Vancouver area resident, I would often go just to be around the vegetation as well as chat with the people that appreciate what plants and flowers do for our lives. You had a very well run business with staffpersonalities that suited the business – they loved their jobs and the people that shopped there. Happy retirement – certainly justified.
We will miss our annual visits to your wonderful garden centre but wish you a long and healthy retirement.
I’m so sad to hear this, decades of shopping at your nursery, like 4 decades to be honest. I will surely miss you. Blessings to all your family and thank you for the great service you always provided.
Désolée de vous voir partir mais heureuse retraite!
I moved to Orleans in 1971, pregnant for my first child and the following summer we were told there was a great place to get all we needed to bring beauty to our new home. I’ve shopped at Laporte’s for years and recommended your company to many, many people. Congratulations on your retirement. You’ve been a treasure to this community and there will always be those of us who drive by your location and say, “Remember when we used to go to Laporte’s every spring & fall?” Thank you and good luck.
This is difficult news, but I do celebrate your retirement.
Thank you for your influence on our life!
Nous sommes tellement tristes de vous voir partir! Nous aimions tellement ça aller à votre centre d’aménagement paysager. Un gros merci à vous pour votre service impeccable, votre gentillesse et d’avoir partagé vos connaissances/expertise avec nous! Malgré notre grande déception de votre départ nous vous souhaitons tout le meilleur pour vous dans vos nouvelles démarches! Vous allez nous manquer beaucoup!
On a personal level, I am so sorry to hear this news. You have been such a large part of the gardening community for so long and we have all benefited from your knowledge and expert advice. Spring just won’t be the same without the annual trek to your garden centre. Thank you for all you have done to help us beautify our surroundings and best wishes for a long and happy retirement as you set out on this new phase of your lives.
Many thanks to the Laporte family and your entire team for the patient advice, cheerful service and the endless care taken to provide quality products.
A visit was always worth the drive and always a pleasure.
I’m so sad to see this news. I love the garden centre and the expertise of the staff. I spent many a Saturday mornings with my mom at your location on Montreal Rd. I wish you a very happy and healthy retirement. All good things must end, sigh.
This is terrible news. I’m at a loss as to where I can look after my gardening needs. The other nurseries in the area don’t seem to have the variety, quality or knowledge that Laporte’s has. We’ve enjoyed shopping there over the years, and you will be missed. This is a real blow to my landscaping requirements.
Thank you Jean and Estelle for your help and expert advice given to us over the years. Your pleasant and welcoming approach to your customers has always been front and centre.


Ahab desired to enlarge his farm by purchasing the vineyard next to his field. So, he offered to pay the owner, Naboth the Jazreelite, or give him another vineyard in trade. But, Naboth refused, because it was his family heritage. Disappointed with Naboth’s answer, Ahab went home, stretched out on his bed, and pouted. Jezebel noticed that something was wrong and asked him, “Why are you too sad to eat?” After Ahab explained what happened, Jezebel responded, “You are king. Get up and eat. Don’t be sad, be happy; I’ll get you the vineyard.” Without asking her how she would, Ahab did as she said.


4. Manipulatives. This one may be obvious, especially if you've worked with younger children (I've taught preschool, first grade and third as well as fourth grade). However hands on learning is where it all begins. One great instructional sequence I've learned in most areas of math and science is to start with hands on, then move on to visuals (worksheets, videos, anchor charts, and student drawings) before finishing with abstract (algorithms, definitions, and so on). You can the progression that starts with fourth grade fractions manipulatives in this post..
6. Games. I included this as a bonus because often manipulatives have a game component, but there are games you can play with the whole class using NO materials. I walk you through a fun fourth grade fraction of a set game in this post.


College is a time about learning to live on your own and be an adult, and it can be difficult to navigate. I’m an introvert, so it was especially difficult for me. Thankfully, I broke out of my shell a little bit (emphasis on ‘little’) and managed to have a pretty decent experience overall. Nonetheless, it was still challenging my freshman year, mainly because I had no idea what to expect and what was going on around me. It definitely would have been nice to have a heads up. So in order to prepare all you college freshman, here are the things I wish I’d known my freshman year of college.
College Tips You Shouldn’t Live Without
College is such a new experience. It’s nothing like high school. And unfortunately high school never prepared you for all of these things. There are just some things you need to know about college right away, so here they are: my top 9 college tips.
1. Join Clubs for Free Food
It’s a known fact that many college students survive off of Ramen Noodles and Easy Mac. Luckily, not everything you consume has to consist of these sodium packed “meals.”
College campuses always have a club or group meeting going on, especially during lunch. This is a GREAT way to take advantage of free food, even if you aren’t interested in the club. The majority of people at my school go to lunch club meetings and get free food almost every day.
College is all about survival and seeing how far you can stretch a dollar. So if you want to stop eating Ramen or spending $10 on a burrito at Chipotle, join some clubs and get free grub.
You might also end up liking the club, finding a new hobby / passion, or making new friends! And if you eventually take on a leadership role in said club, it will look great on your resume.
This is probably one of the best first day of college tips I could give you.
I knew absolutely nobody when I started college. I felt so out of place, especially since I’m an introvert. Most of the time I prefer to just sit back and listen to other people talk or just mind my own business.
I’m not a good verbal communicator at all. I prefer writing things (i.e. texting, emailing, notes, this blog) because my mind always draws blanks when I’m talking to someone I’m not comfortable around. And it takes a while to get comfortable around someone.
This makes it extremely difficult to make friends.
However, during the first weekend, somebody came up and started talking to me, and I actually held a conversation with him. I don’t usually keep talking to strangers, but I didn’t want to be the loner anymore.
So I really tried to keep talking so I didn’t miss out on a great friend. And thankfully I did, because from there on out, I went to the rest of the freshman activities with him and he became my best friend.
This is a very small step, but I still stepped out of my comfort zone and was greatly rewarded for it. Now imagine what can be done if an even bigger step is taken.
3. Join a Fraternity or Sorority
For those of you who don’t know what a fraternity or sorority are, you’re not alone. There probably aren’t many of you, but you’re not alone.
The first week of classes, my friend asked me if I was going to rush a sorority (there are only 2 to pick from at my university). I didn’t know what he was talking about. I had no idea what a sorority was (oblivious much?), so I just said no. Since I had no idea what it was, I figured it probably wasn’t right for me.
So I didn’t end up joining a sorority. Don’t be like me – get involved in Greek Life as early as possible. It will reward you, I promise. You’ll feel included and have best friends (sisters or brothers) for life.
Pretty much all my friends from college are guys since I go to an engineering school. A bunch of them joined a fraternity (go Sigma Nu!). Because of this, I would always go to the Sigma Nu house with them.
When I was there, I always felt a strong sense of brotherhood and saw so many great and lasting friendships. They do community service together, fix up the house, go to events together on campus and elsewhere, and get together over work term for dinner or to work on their cars.
Joining a fraternity or sorority will give you a great since of purpose and essentially a new family away from home. You’ll create amazing friendships, as the majority of the people in the house you join will have the same views and interests as you.
While I didn’t join a sorority, I did become a Sigma Nu Sweetheart. Sigma Nu is the place where most of my friendships started, mainly from a white-water rafting trip our Outdoors Club hosted my freshman year (see, joining clubs has its perks!).
I highly recommend joining the Greek Life on your campus. It will make your college experience so much more rewarding.
4. Do Your Laundry at Home
Everybody knows that if you leave your clothes in a washer or dryer on campus, somebody will remove them to put their own in. This can lead to your clothes getting dirtier, ruined, or ending up sopping wet.
If you’re going home on the weekend, you might as well take your laundry with you. Chances are, your washer and dryer at home are a heck of a lot nicer than the ones on campus. And your mom (or dad) just may be so happy to see you that she (or he) will do your laundry for you!
5. Read the Syllabus for Every Class
We’ve all signed the professor’s sheet saying we read the syllabus. And we all lied.
If I’ve learned anything that will help save my grade, it’s to read the syllabus. All of it. For every class.
In my Fluids class, I wasn’t aware that every Friday we would be given a quiz. So first Friday rolls around, and I don’t know about the quiz until right before class. Needless to say, I did not do too well.
Later I went and checked the syllabus and lone and behold, it says every Friday there will be a quiz. I could have been prepared and started the class off right by reading the syllabus, but I didn’t do that.
So please, read all of your syllabi!
Update: I managed to get a 95% on my Fluids final and pass with a B+!
6. Start Projects / Papers When You First Learn About Them
It’s the first day of classes and you think you have all the time in the world. Next thing you know, half the semester has come and gone, and you haven’t even started your term project. Uh-oh.
I’ve been there, and it sucks. I’ve (thankfully) learned to start my projects and papers when I’m told about them.
If it’s for a book report, write notes while you’re reading so you don’t forget what you read. Highlight important quotes or parts of the story and add notes.
My advanced humanities course required us to read three 200-300 page books and write a persuasive essay on each (in 11 weeks). While reading the books, I jotted down notes and what part each character played in the novel. This helped me write my essays in a few days and I got a B or higher on them all (my prof. was a hard grader).
It’s also good to work on the projects a little bit each week. This way, you won’t have a 10 page essay to complete while you’re studying for finals, as most, if not all, of it will be done already.
A dear friend of mine from school is a big procrastinator. Heck, even I am sometimes. And I know you are, too. It’s inevitable.
This is one of the most valuable college tips we could give you. Our advice is to keep track of how you spend your time. It will help you see what areas of your planning skills need improvement. Nothing’s worse than cramming for a test one day in advance or writing a paper the night before it’s due.
Time always catches up to you, so make sure you’re prepared when it arrives.
8. Take Advantage of Your Student Status
Many people don’t know this, but your student ID and email address (.edu) can get you discounts. Whenever you’re shopping somewhere, simply ask if they have student discounts. The worst that can happen is they say no (I know, rejection hurts!).
Some of the bigger companies that offer student discounts are Apple, Adobe, Autodesk, Dell, HP, Microsoft, Sprint, plus many many more.
I was able to get a Microsoft Surface Pro 4, Surface Pro 4 Type Cover, Xbox One, a game, and an extra wireless controller for the price of what the Surface Pro 4 would have been by itself without my student discount. Companies know college students are broke, so they try to help as best they can. It’s time you started taking advantage of it!
9. Apply For Scholarships Every Year
Because who doesn’t need free money? Nobody, that’s who. There are TONS of scholarships out there, just waiting for people to grab. Many of them don’t even require an essay.
My school offers upperclassmen scholarships, and there are soo many to choose from. Most people just apply for all of them and see what they get. One of them at my school is an Opportunity Scholarship for Women and Students of Color, because it’s a small private engineering college so women and students of color are scarce. I applied for it with a one paragraph essay and now receive $6,000 a year (out of a $35k / year tuition). It is a large amount of money and I’m thankful for it.
If you are tight on money, apply for scholarships!
Note: My financial aid adviser told me a student brought in a binder FULL of scholarships she applied for and received. It covered her full tuition! This is extreme, but if you can’t afford college, you should do your homework and apply to as many scholarships as you can.

Now, I am not going to stand here on my bi-racial pedestal and not turn the mirror on myself. To be blunt – I have benefited from white privilege, and I am not ashamed to admit that. Some people might think I am insane saying this, as often times it is fairly obvious that I am not white. Even when I am not passing, I am not naive to the fact that I have had advantages in life because my skin is light and my eyes are blue. While nobody has come up to me and told me that I have gotten something based on this, it becomes fairly evident when I am in a crowd of people at work who don’t bat an eye when making a racist or homophobic joke in front of me. I have even had some of my own friends say things like, “well, you aren’t like actually black.” For the record, my response to this is, “Um…but actually I am.”
Passing: The topic of passing is a tricky one. I bring it up to explain how it feels to be “in between”. As a bi-racial woman, I often feel as though I don’t really belong in any category. While most of the time I think its obvious that I am bi-racial, I still often find myself in situations where I almost feel as though I have to announce myself so that people don’t put me in weird uncomfortable situations by forgetting that a minority is present. Other situations that people might not think about are those times when someone finds out your aren’t white (or maybe that you aren’t black) when you thought it was obvious. For example, the picture I used for this post was one that I put in my online dating profile when I was in my early 20’s. On one date, I actually had a man tell me he was disappointed because he didn’t realize that I was black from my picture. Just the other day, I had a friend tell me that this particular picture looked like I had bleached my skin.
As a parent, the boiling point on these race issues scare me. I wonder what it will be like when my daughter is my age. I know that by that time, there will likely be more people who feel pulled in many different directions when these situations occur. Regardless of how she identifies, or how society identifies her, I pray that she will stand on the side of justice. And for everyone reading this, no matter what racial category you fall into, I hope that you will think ofr. I hope you will face your own demons on these issues. We all owe it to our children to make sure that this conversation is evolved by the time they are grown enough to be having it for themselves.
The fully black member was adopted …. Even so she is our family. Three offour of our bi racial family members are very brown with kinky curly hair. One looks to be white and has no traits of his mother’s heritage.
As I have said here before, it is not the color of the skin but the color of.the heart and our hearts are the color of love.
When I see prejudice I see hearts without love of mankind.
There too many young people dying and their deaths being dismissed.
There was a post i read just before coming here of a baby less than two years old being shot in the face twice at point blank range. His mother was also shot but survived. Whom ever wrote the item put the racial spin on it by first stating the robbers were two BLACK teens & then went on to say the only crime mother & child committed was choosing to live a neighborhood that was 73% black. This crime hit the news for one day then the media went silent about the story because the murdered child was white and his killers were black.
As a young child I recall rest rooms and drinking fountains in public places being marked white & colored. I could not grasp this concept then & still don’t. Were there laws back then. I tried to drink from a fountain marked colored and my mom snatched be back from it as if I was on the edge of a deep dark hole and was about to fall in.
I will never understand the color lines.
Please forgive my errors. For some reason I am not able to see well today.
I don’t know what planet you and the two previous posters have been living on, but… those young men both received what they asked for, that is, they acted like thugs and they got what’s coming to them. In Florida, ALL investigation showed that the black thug Martin jumped the Latino Zimmermanlf. In Missouri, literally hundreds of witness interviews as well as all forensics proved that Brown attacked the law enforcement officer and refused to follow lawful orders given to him. He NEVER put his hands up and never said “don’t shoot.” What he did was rob a convenience store and assault the storekeeper just minutes before physically assaulting the policeman and, in the process trying to take his gun from him, this thug too was killed.
Vanessa, I am glad that you have been able to live in a world where you have never had to fear a police officer twisting the story after attacking you. I wouldn’t believe all that you have read about these stories. I have been the victim of policing gone wrong…that is the world I live in. Wish it weren’t so.
You look white to me. I am strongly in favor of identifying as WHITE and mixed-race, NOT BLACK.  Somehow they do not degrade themselves by following a ridiculous and illegal “one drop rule” that depends totally on self=policing.
It doesn’t matter what someone’s decides to identify as in most situations. When a police officer shoots a black man because he looks intimidating, should he put his hands up and then be sure to also tell the officer he is white? While I may look nordic (because I actually am partly), I also look African (because I am that too).

With an overwhelming demand for private, women’s only workout areas at mixed gyms in Cairo, it makes sense that women’s only gyms should be opening up more regularly over the city. Recently opened in Heliopolis as part of the Samia Allouba family, Hers offers a new gym exclusively for female clients. Conveniently located above a crèche and complete with an on-site branch of beauty salon, Nail Fashion, Hers strives to cater for all busy ladies’ fitness and beauty needs.
Brightly lit from the outside, the glass fronted downstairs area of the building is dedicated to the unique children’s play and fitness centre, My Gym, whilst the staircase and upper floor is strictly off limits to men.
The gym area is small and spotless, with state-of-the-art machines tightly packed next to one another. With just a few treadmills and a couple of cross-trainers, the cardio section of the gym is somewhat limited, but adequate. Usually reserved for men anyway, the range of free weights is almost non-existent, but is made up for by an abundance of weight machines to work out every muscle. Although made to feel spacious by its sleek contemporary decor, personal space is undoubtedly in short supply, particularly during peak times. At the time of our visit, upbeat music was pumped from the speakers for motivation whilst flat screen TVs hung overhead.
Separate rooms are dedicated to spinning sessions and group fitness classes. Operating from 11AM till 10PM, classes offered include everything from belly-dancing and Zumba, to yoga, Pilates and even toning classes.
The changing, locker and shower rooms are immaculate and roomy, leading the way to the luxurious recreational facilities. With dim lighting and earthy decor, the warm, bubbling Jacuzzi is a tempting place to recuperate. In the same inviting style, the sauna and steam room are ready and available for use at any time. The shape of the venue leads you back round to the reception, where a range of glittering jewellery is displayed for sale, outside the on-site Nail Fashion spa which offers a vast selection of beauty treatments.
Day use of the gym is 100LE and full memberships range from 800LE-4200LE for periods of up to a year. Along with an initial body assessment, nutritional advice, a personal training session and one free, vibrating Power Plate trial (65LE/hour), membership allows access to the equipment, fitness classes, the sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi; as with most gyms, guest access is dependent on the length of membership taken.
Disappointingly, the gym itself isn’t much bigger than a women’s only room in other mixed gyms. However, with a relaxing, totally women’s only ‘girl power’ ambience, on-site spa and beauty facilities, Hers provides far more than just a place to work out in private.
Hers are planning to open their second branch in New Cairo, soon.
Members recieve 10% off treatments at the on-site Nail Fashion.
The workout area can seem a little claustrophobic.

Home | News | Search for remains of Brandy Hanna on old Navy base begins Monday
NORTH CHARLESTON, SC --
This morning a volunteer search team will start a strategic examination of a portion of the old Navy Base, looking for the remains of Brandy Hanna.
Since then the search for Hanna has yielded very little, until very recently.
"He has been a God-send," says Parent, "he's re-interviewed people and really put his heart and soul into finding her."
Friday night's vigil was at Alex's Restaurant on Dorchester Avenue in North Charleston. Parent is the manager there and Brandy worked as a server there for several months before her disappearance.
The North Charleston Police Department issued this statement:
The search is based on investigative information and there is no physical evidence confirming that it is Brandy Hanna’s shoe that was found.

Here's the thing though…. I have apps like Vine, Keek, Viddy, Telly etc…I don't need to post videos on Instagram. So I'm sure they're all sitting around going, "You know what?We'll add videos to Instagram and then our users won't have to go to a third party application to do it". And you know what?That's a great way to think. However, I have never once gone, "oh man, I really wish I could post this video to Instagram instead". Not once. And I probably never will post a video to Instagram. Except I did…
What do you guys think?Are you excited?I'm going to continue posting my videos to other applications, and I am not looking forward to seeing everyone's "artsy" videos pop up on my feed. Sometimes it's good to be the best in one field as opposed to just okay in two fields. Does that make sense?

In 2017 I published Fragile Umanità (Fragile Humanity, Einaudi) where I claimed humanity to be at the verge of collapse, as our ecological niche and our "regular" life would have soon succumbed under the weight of either an epidemic, or an environmental catastrophe or a bad management of resources. The Homo Sapiens' fragility can be read as twofold: (1) conceptual—we do not know what "humanity" really is, where the extension of this concept begins or ends, as we do not really understand whether there would be a best model applicable to all human beings (for instance, what kind of problems the Yanomami will face in case of Covid-19?Would it be a resource for them?
In the muffled society we now feel rejected from, we needed a minimum effort to have everything: food, water, fun, travel. Probably, another kind of world is waiting for us instead, where everyone will have to be the maker of their own existence, thriving otherwise. Will we be less people?Maybe. Will we live less?This might as well be. So these ideas according to which technology would make us immortal and perfect were all false?Obviously so. But then shall we prepare ourselves to consider some diversions as over, in favor of achieving real goals?
These few pages are a simplification of a thought that for years philosophers and intellectuals considered to be minorities have been producing against the widespread technological enthusiasm, against the idea of a "better" future always better than the past. Today's humanity—as fragile as never before—can enter a new evolutionary phase by considering itself unique and united, with no ethnic groups nor nations, no divisions nor selfishness. Was our world full of comfort and certainties?Surely, but it was also a world full of wars, violence, killings and biodiversity massacres …
Our addiction to certain practices has been too often a force way more powerful than the most important aspiration of our species: freedom. Eventually we will of course leave these houses, but we won't get back on a crowded tram to work twenty hours a day because that world, fortunately, will collapse either today or tomorrow. We naively thought we had an immense power over nature, a power that turned out to be a shortcut towards self-destruction. Therefore the question is: how many other models are already there to exist in this world?

November 18, 2014 - If you've come into possession of a mobile base, or you have property with a company’s mobile base on it, you are most likely in the midst of a mobile base lease; you may even have the opportunity to negotiate a new lease term. Should you continue your lease? This may be an enticing option, but there are several things you should consider.
November 08, 2014 - As more mobile bases spring up throughout our communities, some landowners are wondering if they can receive more profit on mobile carriers looking to expand their networks. If you are in the right location with a suitable parcel of land, you can certainly look into leasing a mobile base, which can provide a favourable monthly revenue stream. However, it is not advisable to simply build a mobile base on your land and then look for a carrier to organise a lease with, as you could be left without a tenant if your mobile base doesn't fit into a carrier’s plans. This short beginner’s guide to mobile base leasing should help you better understand the business and decide whether a mobile base lease is right for you.
Arranging a Mobile Base Lease Purchase on Your Land
April 17, 2014 - A mobile base lease is a tremendous asset; it provides a long-term income source and adds value to a piece of land. It can even be sold for a generous sum if the owner should ever decide to terminate the contract. This is possible with the arrangement of lease purchase, which may be offered by a carrier, mobile base company or a lease acquisitions firm. If you’re considering this option and are curious about the legal process, consider the following.

Rodd defends changing saddles ![ Hot tip
up Maldivian for a ride on Tipungwuti, above.
MELBOURNE Cup-winning jockey Michael Rodd is adamant he has made the right choice in passing up the ride on Maldivian in Friday night's Norman Carlyon Stakes at Moonee Valley.
Rodd will instead ride Maldivian's stablemate Tipungwuti in the group 2 weight-for-age feature. Both horses are trained at Flemington by Mark Kavanagh.
Rodd and Kavanagh were the stars of the Melbourne spring carnival, each scoring four group 1 wins. Kavanagh produced Maldivian (Yalumba Stakes), Devil Moon (Turnbull Stakes) and Divine Madonna (Toorak Handicap and Myer Classic) for big race wins with Rodd on all of them except Devil Moon. Rodd also won the Melbourne Cup on the Lloyd Williams-owned Efficient.
"It might surprise a few people that I am not on Maldivian on Friday night but I've had a good chat to his owner and Mark Kavanagh about the decision to ride Tipungwuti," Rodd said yesterday.
"Maldivian is going great in preparation for his return from a spell, and he was great in winning a trial at Flemington last Friday. But Tipungwuti is going really good as well. Being on the fresh side, I expect him to be very hard to beat in the Carlyon. He will sprint well first-up over the 1200 metres."
Rodd will also ride the Kavanagh-trained two-year-old filly Believe'N'Succeed in a Blue Diamond Prelude in which it will clash with Lee Freedman's impressive debut winner Woppitt.
Maldivian was hot favourite for last year's Caulfield Cup but was scratched at the barriers after gashing his head on the stalls.
Star Sydney galloper Eremein, which resumed from a lengthy lay-off with an easy win in the Festival Stakes at Rosehill at the weekend, is second favourite for the Australian Cup with trainer Allan Denham yet to determine where his next start will be.
Denham said yesterday he was exploring his options as to when he could get Eremein to Melbourne, with that task getting easier by the day as travel restrictions because of equine influenza slowly being eased.
The next two weeks will shape the autumn carnival with the group 1 Lightning Stakes to be run at Flemington on February 2.

Director of Public Sector, Neustar Inc.
Beyond expanding physical capacity through the addition of phone lines and staff, there are other steps agencies can take that will not only reduce wait times but also help optimiztrengthen fraud mitigation efforts.
When a customer calls a federal agency, the call center representative must first confirm that the person calling is genuinely who they claim to be. The authentication process generally involves asking the call, for example. Unfortunately, this information can be easily obtained by fraudsters. Also, this “brief” task typically takes up the first 30-60 seconds of every call—time that is particularly valuable when the lines are extremely busy.
Agencies often wonder how to achieve the right balance, as relaxing the authentication process will speed up service and reduce costs but increase the risk of fraud, while tightening fraud security measures too much will frustrate callers and increase operational costs. Fortunately, there are technology solutions and best practices that have been proven in the private sector that can help government agencies evolve through this time as well.
Initiating an automated authentication process before the call is answered can allow agents to spend more time on high-value service rather than low-value identity interrogation—which has become increasingly unreliable as frequent data breaches have made vast troves of citizens’ personal records, including answers to challenge questions, available to criminals on the dark web.
Agencies will likely need to draw on resources beyond their own databases to strengthen the automated authentication process, as customers may call from different phones than the ones they usually use (for example,will likely be calling the SBA from home or using their cellphones if their shops or offices are closed). Authentication solutions should continuously corroborate citizen and device identity data against other authoritative dataAuthenticating more callers —as well as ensuring that the IVR call path is both intuitively designed and regularly updated to enable citizens to find answers to questions involving new relief programs—can help contain more callers within the IVR system and reduce pressure on call center agents. And when an agent’s assistance is needed, a shorter authentication process will reduce costs and set a positive tone for the rest of the call, improving customer experience.
As technology continues to streamline more and more transactions in the private sector, customers have less patience when their interactions with government agencies fail to meet the same standards. While the COVID-19 pandemic has no doubt created unprecedented circumstances, crisis preparedness means planning for the unthinkable, and that includes being prepared for a sudden high volume of calls. A quick and automated authentication process for inbound calls can help reduce wait times and enable agents to focus all their efforts on the valuable work of assisting customers during difficult times.
