How to minimise your
workers’ compensation premiums:
a client story

30 June, 2020

For many businesses, workers’ compensation premiums are their single largest expense (second only to payroll expenses). But the good news is, it is possible to control these premiums – while also keeping your people safe at work and injury-free.

In this article, we show you how we did exactly that for a client who was under financial duress from their workers’ compensation premiums.

THE CHALLENGE: Feeling powerless in the face of soaring premiums

This client faced two key challenges:

  1. Rapidly increasing premiums that made the company financially unsustainable and would put them at risk of having to cease operations
  2. Inaccurate advice from their previous insurer which resulted in huge claims costs and increasing premium forecasts.

The impact of these two challenges alone would result in a near 500% increase in premiums over three years.

What’s more, our client’s insurer refused to meet with them to resolve these concerns – despite repeated requests.

Understandably, our client was feeling frustrated and powerless to resolve these very serious issues.

OUR APPROACH: Getting things on track

Through our review of the client’s workers’ compensation program, we identified the key causes of underperformance – and took the following steps to rectify them:

  1. Appointed a dedicated account manager

One of our client’s main challenges was communication with their insurer. Because their insurer would not engage with them, they couldn’t take corrective action.

To increase the insurer’s accountability for our client’s portfolio performance, we spoke to the insurer and insisted they appoint a dedicated Account Manager who would be responsible for our client’s program. We then transferred our client’s claims management to an office that was closer to them to make communication easier.

  1. Fixed industry classification errors

Our client has specialist licences for demolition and asbestos removal, which they advertise to differentiate themselves in the market. However, this is not their predominant business activity.

When we reviewed our client’s workers’ compensation program, we discovered their insurer had made an error. Their industry classification had been re-classified from ‘site preparation services’ to ‘demolition’.

This attracted an industry rate increase of around 60%.

So how did this happen? The insurer conducted an online review of the business and incorrectly concluded that demolition/asbestos removal was their primary business activity. And they did not engage with our client during this process.

As soon as we discovered this error, we gathered information to demonstrate that our client’s primary business activity was in fact site preparation services. We then submitted a formal premium review to the insurer to have the policy re-rated.

  1. Convinced the insurer to concede

We conducted a detailed review of our client’s claims and discovered that wages had been incorrectly paid on a single claim – which resulted in a ~$60K premium increase.

The insurer had incorrectly reimbursed wages to a worker who chose to abandon his employment following an injury. However, when our client protested paying these wages, these objections fell on deaf ears with their insurer.

After discovering this error, we submitted a review for reimbursing wages during the period that the injured worker had abandoned his employment. We gathered evidence that showed that the worker:

  • Had not been terminated
  • Was fit for suitable full-time duties at the time
  • Chose to be absent (making it unrelated to his workers’ compensation claim)

After presenting this evidence, the insurer conceded that the wages should not have been paid under workers’ compensation.

Going that extra step

We set about systematically addressing the issues our client faced, supporting them to maintain a financially successful business. Throughout this process, we provided regular updates and communicated any roadblocks we encountered.

Thanks to this transparency and robust communication, the client quickly placed their trust in us.

All in all, the full range of services we provided included:

  • Complimentary review of the client’s workers’ compensation program
  • Industry classification review
  • Retrospective premium adjustment
  • Strategic technical advice for complex claims
  • Premium forecasting
  • Policy management
  • Insurer management

THE OUTCOME: Keeping Aussie businesses operating

Austbrokers Corporate successfully removed the unsustainable financial pressure the client faced – and turned its poorly managed workers’ compensation program into a well-oiled machine.

This meant that we prevented an Australian business from collapse.

In summary, we were able to:

  • Re-classify the client’s primary business activity – returning their premium to its original rate
  • Adjust the policy back to the correct rate for the current year (as well as all historic years)
  • Convince the insurer that wage payments for an absentee worker should not have been paid under workers’ compensation
  • Introduce a dedicated Account Manager to our client’s insurance program
  • Prompt the client to remain with their insurer at renewal – which benefited both parties

Thanks to our intervention, our client achieved a huge saving from their past and future premiums. And we turned an underperforming claims portfolio around, making our client’s business profitable once again.

$300K+ savings $60K refunded Greatly reduced premiums
from retrospective premium adjustment for incorrectly paid wages both retrospectively and
into the future

Batgirl shuts down Boggabri coal mine

Activists dressed in bat suit costumes have shut down Idemistu’s Boggabri coal mine after using harnesses to suspend themselves upside down on the site’s coal loader.

According to environmentalist group Front Line Action on Coal, activists dressed as bats scaled the coal loader early this morning and unfurled a banner that read ‘Save the Leard’.

The mine has been shut as a result of the action with police forced to remove the protesters after they refused to descend from the loader after more than nine hours.

The activists say they are protesting against Idemitsu’s expansion plans which they claim will lead to the “destruction of the Leard State Forest”.

“Globally, there is only 0.01% of critically endangered box-gum woodland left in good condition, of which the Leard State Forest contains the largest remnant," it said.

"It is time for JBIC and ANZ to stop funding coal projects. It is not worth investing in, especially considering the swell of resistance from local and broader communities.”

Idemitsu Australia Resources CEO, Rod Bridges, confirmed police were called to the site this morning.

“Ongoing instances of civil disobedience are both illegal and dangerous, and are a deliberate waste of local police resources,” he said.

“We are working with police to ensure the community and staff at Boggabri Coal Mine remain safe, and normal mining operations can continue.”

Protests at the Boggabri site are not uncommon, with activist groups promising to do what they can to hamstring the development of a number of coal projects in the area.

Late last year the coal loader was scaled by the same group, forcing the company to cease operations for over 6 hours.

In October activists stopped trucks entering the mine site, while two men who broke into the mine last year were convicted in July.

A spokesperson for the group has previously said it “will not give in until this forest is protected.”

Today’s incident marks a continuation of civil disobedience in the area with protests also being carried out at the nearby Muales Creek mine project.

Texas AuctionAre you planning to buy a used car? Are you aware that you can buy one from the comfort of your home or office? Yes, then you can opt for online car auctions that help you do that. Car auctions in Texas have become a preferred way of buying vehicles online. You can register online for free and after paying a refundable security fee you can start bidding on a vehicle you would like to own.

I was planning to buy a car but the main problem that I faced was the budget constraint. That is when a friend of mine suggested that I opt for online car auctions. Being a first-time buyer, I was not very sure whether it is a profitable option to go for an online auction. How will I know that the car that I am bidding on is in good condition? How do I get the best deal? How will I get all the information about the history of the car? These are some of the questions that I had in my mind.

However, with some research, I managed to buy a car at an online car auction in Texas. Things turned out to be quite simple and crystal clear to me once I went through an online auction website in detail. Here are some of the common questions that come to our mind when opting for an online auction:

How do I Get the Best Deal?

This is one of the most common questions that people ask when they opt for an auto auction. There is no shortcut to getting the best deal. Exercise your common sense and get all the information about the vehicle. The online auction sites provide you with the VIN which makes it easier to know about the history of the vehicle that you are opting for. Getting a vehicle history report is among the most important steps when buying a used vehicle.

What is the Bidding Limit?

It depends on the maximum amount that you can bid at any given time. You will get the vehicle only if you are the highest bidder.

Is it Possible to Cancel or Lower the Bid?

Once you have submitted your bid, you cannot cancel or lower the bid amount that you have quoted. Bids cannot be lowered, cancelled or withdrawn. This is the reason it is advisable to double check the bid amount before submitting the bid.

These are some of the important points that you need to remember when planning to opt for an online auto auction. Online auctions are a profitable option provided you are careful when placing the bid and selecting the vehicle. Good online research and planning can help you crack a fairly good deal in Texas.

  3. 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 Review

2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 Review

It’s like flying business class, only better.

SANTA BARBARA -- It's like flying business class, really. There you are in your high-style seating pod as if you were flying Virgin Atlantic, and you lean back in the quilted leather upholstery of the executive-style seating with your head in the soft pillow and your legs outstretched, and the 5.1 surround sound plays as you watch an information video on the high-def screen. You unfold the tray table from the center console and pour yourself a sparkling water.

Sure, the 2016 Maybach-Mercedes S600 is just like airplane, only instead of being trapped in a soulless box at 40,000 feet, you have a full view of the landscape rushing past your window. You can forget about those limp spargel salads from the flight attendant, because there is some new exotic food being served at the bottom of every off-ramp, probably with a drive-through lane for your convenience.

Downton Abbey? Get over it

As Americans, we're still so provincial, always wishing we were British. Present us with a car like the 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600, and we think immediately of stuffy rich people and chauffeurs in white gloves. We're at once offended by what we interpret as pure extravagance and yet hopelessly envious.

Well, it's not 1921 anymore, so it's time to grow up. Sure, the 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 is indeed all about the rear-seat experience. (Don't pretend it isn't.) But you should consider that this car slides into the position once occupied by big, black executive-class cars meant to transport people of consequence. The Lincoln Town Car is dead, and neither sport-utilities like the Lincoln MKT nor luxury minivans like the now-departed Mercedes-Benz R-Class have filled the gap.

The Maybach is more like the beginning of a trend in executive-class transportation than the end of one. It is useful where the traffic is slow, like the ring road in Beijing where the average speed is now slower than it was when bicycles were the primary transportation device. It is useful where the traffic is fast, like Europe, where terrible flying weather for cross-country travel means the automobile becomes the equivalent of a private jet. Moreover, the Maybach S600 can be a mobile office, a kind of calling card in business circles.

Is it an extravagance? Well, any automobile that is larger and more luxurious than a smart fortwo can be thought of as an extravagance.

Expanding the envelope

Probably you're thinking that the 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 is nothing but a stretched Mercedes-Benz S-Class. And you're right, this is an S-Class chassis with a wheelbase that has been stretched 7.9 inches. And why not? The S-Class is already thought to be best car in the world by many, so simply expanding the car's envelope is a good strategy. Compared to a dedicated super-luxury package like a Bentley Mulsanne or Rolls-Royce Phantom, the Maybach S-Class is less expensive, so the potential sales volume goes up. And as we're reminded by Johannes Reifenrath, the director of product strategy for Mercedes-Benz, the Maybach can also incorporate all the sophisticated electronics of the S-Class, not just the latest active-safety measures right now but also the autonomous driving features that are sure to come.

So there's not much mystery beneath the skin here. Beneath the hood of the Maybach S600 you'll find a 523-hp, twin-turbo 6.0-liter V-12 matched with a seven-speed automatic transmission. The S600 has the S-Class's automatic body control, and it comes with 20-inch forged wheels. The Maybach's rear doors are actually 2.6 inches shorter than those of the S-Class, a change that ensures the rear-seat passengers can be concealed from the outside by the rear pillar of the roof. Nevertheless, the Maybach's bodyshell incorporates the largest one-piece side panel now being made in series production.

Flying low in the rear seat

It's all about riding in the rear seat, isn't it? There's indeed plenty of space, some 37.9 inches of headroom (0.5 inches more than a standard S-Class) and 12.8 inches of kneeroom (6.3 inches more than an S-class). You can recline the seatback 43.5 degrees as a panel beneath your calves rises to support your legs. An array of rear-seat air vents controls the temperature while a special sensor creates separate climate zones for each rear passenger. The Maybach S-Class also offers a panoramic sunroof.

There are the usual luxury accoutrements you might expect in a car like this, like the standard-equipment champagne flutes concealed in the center console and the optional system that gives the rear compartment the scent of Maybach's signature Agarwood perfume. (Both of which we find a little creepy, actually.) Since we're Americans, we'll probably better appreciate the way you can work in the back seat. An aircraft-style aluminum tray deploys from the center console table, and it's both sturdy and features a leather insert to deliver a good writing surface. The Burmester sound system delivers not just 5.1 surround sound for entertainment audio but also has HD voice amplification for telephone calls. Most of all, the rear compartment is an especially quiet place in which to work, which is partially a consequence of the way in which the passengers sit away from the side windows and beneath the rear window.

Finally, the rear seat of the 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 is an exceptionally safe place. It starts with close attention to structural integrity. Then there's the seat-belt buckle extender, which comes out to make the buckle easy to locate and then retracts to ensure the belt is cinched across a passenger's pelvis, not his belly. An airbag in the seat cushion will deploy in a crash if the passenger is reclined, preventing him from submarining beneath the belt. The lower belt portion of the three-point belt also incorporates its own airbag, which effectively increases the width of the belt to distribute impact forces across a broader area. And finally side impacts trigger the deployment of the usual thorax and window airbags.

It's the future, not the past

At a starting price of $190,275, the 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 isn't exactly for everyone. And since Mercedes identifies the 212,000 people who compose the world's super-rich (assets of $30 million) as the prime audience here, the Maybach S-Class even starts to seem irrelevant.

But we can see a little bit of the future in this Mercedes S-Class. When the traffic is congested and vehicle counts in downtown areas are restricted (as they already are in London and Singapore), a hire car starts to make a lot of sense. Certainly the preference of drivers in China for cars with large rear seats -- cars as different as the BMW 3 Series GT and the Toyota Corolla -- shows us that there are circumstances in which a back seat can be considered a necessity, not just a convenience. And with the popularity of smartphone applications for arranging car transportation, everyone in the U.S. is already getting used to the idea of taxi service, whether plain or fancy.

And should a Maybach-Mercedes S600 show up at the curb the next time you schedule car service, we can assure you that you'll be very, very happy.

Report: Chrysler Sebring to be renamed Nassau

The Chrysler Sebring will be renamed the Nassau, according to a report.

The Chrysler Sebring will reportedly get a new name later this year: Nassau.

The midsize sedan is due for a freshening, including an updated interior, along with its Dodge sibling, the Avenger. The Detroit Free Press, citing anonymous sources, says the new name will be Nassau.

Chrysler is not commenting on the possible name change.

"[We] definitely don't have anything to announce about the possible name change later this year," spokesman Rick Deneau said.

The Nassau moniker should ring a bell with car fans. It was the name of Hemi-powered, four-passenger luxury concept shown at the 2007 Detroit auto show. With striking looks and a prominent grille, the concept displayed a dash of panache--potentially for a future Chrysler. The concept rode on a 120-inch wheelbase and was meant to look more visually compact than a comparable Chrysler 300C, summoning the style of a shooting brake.

Still, the Sebring refresh is more of an update, so look for the name change to be the extent of the Nassau genetics that make it onto the new sedan. The Nassau name was also used famously by Chrysler in the 1950s.

Look for the new sedan to get Chrysler's Pentastar V6 and with a Fiat-developed dual-clutch transmission--dramatic upgrades to the powertrain.

Automotive News also reported in March that the Sebring name will be dropped because the updates are so extensive, according to CEO Sergio Marchionne.

The Chrysler Sebring is due for updates to the engine, transmission and interior this year. Look for a new name: Nassau.

The Sebring and the Avenger are sorely in need of updates to increase their competitiveness in a midsize segment loaded with viable entries. Toyota and Honda have long ruled the sales charts, but the Chevrolet Malibu and the Ford Fusion are showing strength in the market as well, as American buyers again consider domestic brands.

Chrysler's midsize products have languished as the company endured ownership changes and bankruptcy. Marchionne has made it a priority to strengthen the company's products in that area with quick changes rather than waiting for full redesigns which could take years.

Last week, Fiat announced that the Sebring will be built in Turin, Italy, along with the Alfa Romeo Giulia, which is also a midsize sedan.

On The Runway: Stephan Caras FW18

Photographed by Che Rosales provided by TOM*

When we think of feminine and elegant fashion we think of Stephan Caras. Last season our team was introduced to his collections at Toronto Women's Fashion Week and were blown away by the intricate detailing on his designs. This season he showcased again at TW and our jaws were literally on the floor.

Showcasing a wide variety of couture pieces, Stephan Caras gave a new and elevated name to women's eveningwear.

For those of you who don't know (and if you don't have you been living under a rock!?), Stephan Caras is a Toronto based fashion designer. Focused on women’s evening wear, his collections are an "artistic expression and medium that can be celebrated and enjoyed by all women.”

We love that his major inspiration behind such beautiful pieces derived from the feminity that women exude, and that his ultimate goal is to materialize something that a woman can wear and express herself at her finest.

As an accomplished designer Caras has shown his collections in Paris, London, New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Osaka, Hong Kong, Athens, Cyprus, and Toronto. In addition, Caras’ status as a top tier designer has recently earned him a spot in CEO World Magazine and Runway Magazine’s “List of World’s Top 20 Fashion Designers”, as well as the “Top 25 Most Beloved and Inspiring Fashion Designers of the World”.

It was an honour to watch such an elegant yet vibrant collection and to witness first hand his pieces walk down a runway. With that, we managed to narrow down some of the top trends in his collections. From sheer to elegant detailing, here are the biggest trends from the FW18 Stephan Caras show:

Sheer Fabrics

Staying with the same theme as last season, Caras incorporated sheer components to almost every one of his pieces. By using embroidery and layering, Caras made the sheer looks elegant yet sexy. We loved the sheer jumpsuits.

Photographed by Che Rosales provided by TOM*

Flower Detailing

Caras is known for his feminine floral detailing and this season he did not disappoint. The flower embroidery on his gowns not only added a pop of colour but added the necessary dimension to his pieces. We loved how he paired sheer gowns with delicate embroidery.

Tule Volume

This season Caras stunned with added volume - especially with his finale piece. Using colourful tule he managed to create lavish and eccentric looks. The tule he used not only gave volume but also added some very necessary color and texture, making the garments almost an experience rather than just a piece.

    About time too – hopefully you will work with AXA to eradicate those discrimanatory ‘Disabled’ toilet signs that seem to infer that you must be a wheelchair user to use the disabled loo.

Biegun. Photo: Nicholas Kamm/AFP/Getty Images

Steve Biegun, the Trump administration's North Korea negotiator, told reporters in an off the record briefing Sunday that the administration wanted a "complete freeze" of North Korea's weapons of mass destruction program while they are negotiating with the U.S.

Between the lines: Biegun's off the record remarks, made aboard Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's plane during the return trip to Washington from Korea, signaled he's willing to be more flexible with North Korea than the hardliners in the Trump administration. Biegun said the administration isn't ready to lift the sanctions against North Korea if it freezes its weapons program, but that it could give Kim other concessions, such as humanitarian relief and improved diplomatic ties.

  • Biegun insisted, however, that the administration hasn't abandoned its goal of "complete denuclearization."

"What we are looking for is a complete freeze of WMD programs," Biegun told reporters as he was returning to Washington on Sunday from the Korean Peninsula, according to notes from two sources familiar with his remarks. "Stop making things." (Axios was not on the plane and therefore did not enter into any off the record agreement with the administration. The quotes in this story are from notes taken as Biegun spoke.)

  • Biegun went on to say that the administration wanted "a freeze and an idea of an end state, and then within that we have a discussion of a roadmap" towards North Korea giving up their nuclear weapons.
  • Biegun signaled several times in the off the record conversation that he was open to some give and take along the way to that goal, according to one of the sources.
  • A State Department spokesperson declined to comment to Axios.

The backstory: The word “freeze” has become an explosive concept inside the Trump administration over the past 24 hours. The New York Times caused a stir inside the administration with a report that an idea had been taking shape among Trump officials that they might abandon their goal of demanding that North Korea give up its nuclear program.

  • "The concept would amount to a nuclear freeze, one that essentially enshrines the status quo, and tacitly accepts the North as a nuclear power, something administration officials have often said they would never stand for," the Times reported.
  • Biegun told the NYT that no plan along these lines was being developed.
  • And National Security Adviser John Bolton tweeted that neither he nor his staff had heard of such an idea and that the story was a "reprehensible attempt by someone to box in the President."

While all senior officials in the Trump administration say they agree on the ultimate goal of "complete denuclearization" of the Korean Peninsula, opinions differ within the administration on the best way of reaching that goal.

When President Trump abandoned his last formal talks with Kim Jong-un, in Hanoi in February, he said he wanted a "big deal." Trump said that by "big deal" he meant that North Korea would have to give up all their nuclear weapons before the U.S. would relieve sanctions.

  • Kim disappointed Trump at their Hanoi summit, offering only to dismantle the Yongbyon reactor complex, but no other secret facilities, in exchange for sanctions relief, the president said.
  • Bolton, a long-time hawk on North Korea who was not involved in the recent talks, has firmly opposed making any concessions to North Korea before they give up all of their nuclear weapons.

Behind the scenes: Biegun said in the off the record conversation that "in the abstract we have no interest in sanctions relief before denuclearization," according to one of the sources familiar with the conversation.

  • But Biegun also signaled that the U.S. negotiating team was open to being flexible with the North Koreans in other ways. There are "things we can do in the meantime" to make concessions towards Kim, such as "humanitarian aid, expanded people-to-people talks, presence in each other's capitals."
  • "Let's say they give us 20 nuclear weapons," Biegun speculated, according to source notes. "What can we get? I’m confident that I'd go to the Secretary and he'd go to the President and he would consider that. What we want to do is take pieces off the board."

What's next: As part of Sunday's meeting at the DMZ, Trump said he and Kim have agreed to resume talks over the next few weeks. Biegun will lead negotiations for the U.S.

Editor's note: The attribution for the longer quotations in this story has been clarified to be from sources present at the conversation.

Tropical Storm Zeta has killed at least two people, triggered flooding, downed powerlines and caused widespread outages since making landfall in Louisiana as a Category 2 hurricane on Wednesday.

The big picture: A record 11 named storms have made landfall in the U.S. this year. Zeta is the fifth named storm to do so in Louisiana in 2020, the most ever recorded. It weakened t0 a tropical storm early Thursday, as it continued to lash parts of Alabama and the Florida Panhandle with heavy rains and strong winds.

Taiwan reaches a record 200 days with no local coronavirus cases

Taiwan on Thursday marked no locally transmitted coronavirus cases for 200 days, as the island of 23 million people's total number of infections reported stands at 550 and the COVID-19 death toll at seven.

Why it matters: Nowhere else has reached such a milestone. While COVID-19 cases surge across the U.S. and Europe, Taiwan's last locally transmitted case was on April 12. Experts credit tightly regulated travel, early border closure, "rigorous contact tracing, technology-enforced quarantine and universal mask wearing" and the island state's previous experience with the SARS virus for the achievement, per Bloomberg.

Small in size but not in character, charm or ambience our boutique hotel has everything you need to have a week of relaxation and rejuvenation.

The fast paced nature of today’s world means stress has become all too commonplace, and modern living makes it increasingly difficult to take time to care for ourselves and connect with what we need.

Located just 50m from the beach, against a backdrop of mountains, Azure is small but perfectly formed with a maximum capacity of 20. This means that our dedicated Azure team can give each and every one of you the attention you need to ensure that your holiday is truly life-changing and fulfilling. Come to visit us and you’ll begin your journey to feeling like a better version of yourself.

Azure was born out of a dream

A dream to create a safe, welcoming space, where people from all backgrounds, with all levels of yoga ability (including none) could come to rejuvenate.

Both Michelle and Jayne had been introduced to the wonders of yoga and were amazed by how effective it was for easing physical health symptoms, as well as soothing stress and anxiety. Along with Ali, they had all worked in hospitality for years, and had a vision for a retreat with a difference. A place free from judgement or expectation. A place of healing for the body and mind. And so, Azure was born.

Jayne is the creative driving force behind the venture. Having faced more than a few of life’s challenges herself she knows the value of recuperation and rest. And she is dedicated to making the Azure experience available to as many people as possible.

Michelle is our hostess with the mostest! A chef, Michelle produces vegetarian delights in the kitchen, and is on hand to make sure you are well looked after, and well fed during your stay with us.

Ali manages the retreat day to day, and is wonderfully organised, making sure everything runs smoothly – from airport transfers to yoga classes to excursions. Ali sources all our local produce, and is always a friendly face at reception with his brilliant customer service skills.

The entire team is here to ensure your stay with us at Azure is what you need to leave feeling calmer, lighter, happier and ready to tackle whatever comes next…

Luxurious Rooms

Azure has a mixture of single, twin and double suites on offer. We want to create for our guests a calm home away from home, and so our newly decorated rooms have been simply decorated with bohemian design accents, each having its own unique style and charm.

Each room is fully air conditioned, and also has large windows that can be opened to let in the sea breeze should you wish.

All rooms feature an ensuite shower room, with bespoke fittings and a powerful shower, as well as being furnished with premium linens and towels. And each room is uniquely decorated with art works and furnishings by local artists and artisans.

Rooms are offered as part of a retreat package, or on a Bed and Breakfast basis.

Luxury Belle Tents

If you fancy something a little different for your stay with us, we have four deluxe Lotus Belle tents on offer which can be made up as doubles or twins – perfect for single occupancy, couples or friends sharing.

Situated in our fragrant mandarin grove, our Lotus Belle tents are the very essence of glamping – each one is silk lined, and beautifully furnished with a spacious head height. As with our rooms the tents are all individually decorated with their own unique touches, for an overall luxurious feel. Each tent also has its own separate bathroom and is fully air conditioned, and features a log burner for those cooler nights.

Our VIP Luxury Lotus Belle tent is the ultimate indulgence – this is truly glamping in style. Beautifully appointed with hand picked finishing, like the other tents our VIP tent is silk lined, fully air conditioned and has its own bathroom, but with a free-standing full size roll top bath! Perfection!

About the Book

Too many of us take too much for granted.  For example, if we saw an old lady crossing the street, many of us would look at her and say, “Well, that’s just an old lady,” or wouldn’t think anything of her at all.  We don’t stop to realize that the little old lady is someone’s mother, that she belongs to someone’s family, and that she means a lot to somebody.

We take too much for granted.  We let the little things that mean so much go by every day, and once they are gone, time never gives them back.

Concentrate on these things, because they can bring so much to your life.  Take the time to thank your heavenly Father, make family time, husband time, wife time, children time, listening time, talking time, caring time, sharing time, crying time, peaceful time, special time, and last but not least, giving time.

About the Author

Ron Hester was born in 1957, the third of eight children.  He has three sisters and three brothers living. A fourth, his older brother, Eddie, they lost at the age of twenty-one to an unfortunate accident.  At that time, he still didn’t see, because he was too involved to observe.  He didn’t realize how much time they didn’t spend together, how many times he didn’t tell him that he loved him.

Hester went to E.P. Johnson Elementary School, where he had a hard time.  This was during the early ’60s, and if you were a person of color, you had many things going against you.  Hester went on to Hoke Smith High School, where he had a very good experience once he established himself.  From there he entered Morehouse College.  He graduated in 1981 with a BA degree in health and PE.

shades of light brown hair color chart. Which one looks the most like my hair?  dyed hair

Hair Color Correction Tips You Can Do at Home

If this is the first time experimenting accustomed to hair dye colors, I would suggest which you test it with semi-permanent hair dye that washes out in about 8-10 washings with shampoo, rather than going straight away for permanent hair dye. Of course, your professional hair stylist could counsel you about the colors and highlights that could satisfy your style (and even your task!), however, if you are likely to try this the D-I-Y method, it is essential for you to possess a basic understanding and knowledge of how hair coloring works.

Hair color can be applied by many various ways as Rodolfo Valentin, New York City hair colorist winner in the top hair colorists NYC award states that he is enchanted experimenting and zilch can impede him from doing the work just because he have not seen a selected technique used does not necessarily mean than unattainable. - brown hair color shades names

Step 2:Get a flattering but an easy task to maintain hairstyle.

New Jersey is forging ahead with its fiduciary rule, saying the SEC’s Regulation Best Interest just doesn’t cut it.

On Monday the Garden State proposed a rule that would require brokers to meet a fiduciary standard, InvestmentNews reports. It would also codify the fiduciary standard that already applies to investment advisors.

MHSAA approves 9 sports for big-school co-op teams

Mick McCabe
Detroit Free Press

Fielding high school athletic teams in some sports is going to become easier beginning in the fall.

Detroit Osborn second baseman Jalen Valentine, left, tries to catch Detroit East English Village outfielder Curron Sutter-Neal stealing a base during the PSL baseball championship at Comerica Park on May 20, 2013, in Detroit.

The representative council of the Michigan High School Athletic Association recently approved a plan to allow cooperative programs to exist between schools in nine additional sports -- without regard to the size of the schools involved -- as long as the schools are in the same district.

Sports affected by the ruling are baseball, bowling, competitive cheer, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis and wrestling.

Schools currently can co-op in any sport, but the total enrollment of those schools cannot exceed 1,000 students. Sports with fewer than 250 participating schools, such as hockey and lacrosse, are permitted to have co-op teams as long as the total enrollments do not exceed 3,500 students.

Cooperative programs will be approved on a case-by-case basis and must show a longstanding lack of participation.

This could be a godsend for districts such as Detroit, Lansing, Flint and Saginaw, which are struggling to field teams in certain sports.

“I thought this all started with the Lansing schools, to be honest with you,” Lansing Sexton athletic director Chris Henderson said. “We submitted a request just last month, based on our participation numbers for boys and girls tennis and for golf.”

Alvin Ward, director of athletics for Detroit Public Schools, believes that this change will be well-received in Public School League.

“I’m going to recommend it, too,” Ward said. “There’s an interest at all of the schools but just not enough kids to fill the interest. Once I put that out there and it becomes public, it might help us out.”

The PSL already has cooperative teams in swimming. Ward pointed out that Detroit Pershing did not win a game in baseball nor softball this season and would be an ideal co-op partner with another school in those sports.

“We can just look at the records to kind of look at what the success levels are and see who might want to join forces,” he said. “This would help us to comprise some teams among schools that have low numbers and may not be competitive. In baseball and softball, it takes awhile to develop a good program.”

But Henderson, who also is Sexton’s wrestling coach, said that there can be a price to pay with co-op teams.

“There are some disadvantages,” he said. “No. 1, transportation -- now having to go to multiple schools to pick up athletes. The other disadvantage, for me personally, as a coach, is the loss of the individuality. It’s no longer just your school.

“The advantages are participation numbers and teams would be fuller. No. 2, the overall district budget and the school athletic budgets wouldn’t be hit as hard because we’d be sharing those things. No. 3, an advantage is the opposite of a negative I gave you. It would be pulling the Lansing community together.

“Overall, it’s probably a positive move.”

The trend of dwindling enrollment numbers in districts like Lansing has taken a toll on athletic participation in nearly every sport. In the mid-1980s, Sexton had more than 2,100 students. Today, its enrollment is 610.

Albion College men looking for consistency

Travis Tekiele

Two years ago, the Albion College men’s basketball team won just six games and finished last in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

Last season, the Brits improved to finish tied for third place in the MIAA with Trine University, and ended up with an overall record of 14-12.

But head coach Jody May says that his team’s goals are even higher for the 2014-15 campaign, which kicked off earlier this month.

“We have many of the same guys back from last year’s team,” said May. “We showed on several occasions last year, we could play at a high level and compete with the best teams. However, we were inconsistent throughout the year. Our mindset (this year) is to strive to play at a high level on a more consistent basis throughout the season.”

The Brits’ goals this season are to play consistently at a high level and to never take a day off, which will hopefully culminate into their final goal, which is to win the MIAA championship.

Albion only lost one key player from last year’s squad in Lawrence Ridgell, who started every game and averaged 11.7 points and 3.5 rebounds per contest last season.

Despite that loss, though, the Britons look to be in good shape with six key players returning from last season, including seniors Zach Hurth, Carter Elliot and Vince Hill. Also returning for Albion are juniors Dakota Kazen, Travell Oakes, and Jordan Herron, who finished Second Team All-Conference a season ago after contributing nearly 12 points and eight rebounds per game.

Coach May also thinks there are some incoming freshmen who will contribute to his team’s success in Robert Ryan, Corey Wheeler and Enis Becirevic. Also, De’Tavia Moore, a junior transfer from Kellogg Community College, is projected to have a positive impact on the team.

Last year’s team was expected to finish last in the MIAA, and it exceeded expectations with their third place. This year, they are looking to capitalize on their positive season with consistency and hard work.

“If you look at our results (from last season), we beat the team who won the league, their only league loss last season, but lost to several teams who finished below us,” said May. “Our goal is play at a higher level no matter who the opponent is. Our league is very balanced and the winner of the league will be the team that accomplishes this.”

Albion women focused on improving this season

After finishing sixth in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association a year ago, the Albion College women’s basketball team is looking to use its experience to improve in the new 2014-15 season.

“We are a year more experienced which will help,” said coach Doreen Carden. “We have a good core of kids that played a lot of minutes for us the last few years. We need to get better in all aspects, but defense is a key for us to create turnovers that lead to easy offense.”

That core of returners starts with junior forward Darian Payne, who averaged 9.3 points and 8.4 rebounds per game last year.

“She was out a big part of last year with an injury so having her back on the floor is a great presence for us,” said Carden about Payne. “She’s a tremendous athlete that can defend and rebound and has come a long way.”

Other key returners for the Brits are juniors Emily DeWaters and Mikaela Bromley, as well as sophomore point guard Olivia Savage, who started every game but one last season as a freshman. All three averaged over 6.5 points per contest last year.

The Brits will have to fill a huge hole left by Brett deBear, who finished her career second on the all-time scoring list at Albion with 1,249 points.

“Big loss for us,” said Carden. “So far this year we have had contributions in scoring from various players. I am not sure we have that one girl that will score big every game, but definitely have kids that can do that. It’s a matter of consistency. It has been nice having contributions from various players this year and that is what we are going to need to be successful. Team effort.”

Freshman Erin Nelson from Warren Regina High School is expected to make a huge impact immediately for Albion. She has scored in double figures in every game so far this season, and recorded a double-double in her second career game.

“Our goal as a team is to focus on what’s at hand,” said Carden. “We need to focus one play at a time, focus on details, and also finishing. We lost a lot of close games the last two years so we need to finish out with that as well as finishing through every play in games and in practice. We ultimately want to get into our MIAA tournament and finish in that top four in the league.”

MEN: Saturday, Dec. 6: Elmhurst at Albion, 6 p.m.

WOMEN: Monday: Olivet at Albion, 7:30 p.m.

Brown-Buerger Cystoscope

Single sheath; multiple instruments

In 1899, F Tilden Brown of Baltimore, used two different lens systems to visualise the bladder; they could be swapped over using the same sheath to prevent re-instrumentation of the urethra.

Leo Buerger expanded on Brown's idea of passing different instruments down the same outer sheath and the Brown-Buerger cystoscope, introduced in 1907, became a standard instrument for years.

The boxed set on display shows the electric power cable and some "bugbee" electrodes in the lid. The metal "American Cystoscope Makers" label is a sliding lid over a compartment which spare bulbs etc.
