How very convenient.

Yet many of us have very particular needs and might do better with something more streamlined. Thankfully there are a lot of programmers with needs as particular as our own. Sometimes they build operating systems dedicated to certain computers and smartwatches, or ones intended just for gaming. Other times they're out tweaking and refining what's already available.

What is covered?

This is a summary of the usual cover that is available. An example a complete and standard policy wording is available on application to GJIS Ltd.

The major areas of cover provided by Specialist Engineering Policies are as follows:

General Plant and Equipment

General Plant and Equipment such as pressure vessels (air receivers and boilers and the like), or lifting equipment (passenger and goods lifts, forklift trucks etc.) powers presses and certain types of dust extractors.

  • Statutory Inspection of the following types of plant and equipment. Insurers offer the inspection service in conjunction with insurance.
  • Accidental Damage Cover

Standard business policies may include accidental damage to plant and equipment but there are occasions when the cover is inadequate. For example a "block" or "traders" type of policy will exclude loss or damage caused during processing or arising as a result of electrical or mechanical breakdown or derangement. Such cover may well be arranged under an Engineering Policy.

  • Breakdown

Engineering insurers will often extend their policies to include an indemnity for breakdown cover. Typically items such as lifts that are expensive to repair or fork lift trucks fall into this category.

  • Accidental Loss or Damage
    Often covered under the "block" or "traders" policy and is not general a major concern except perhaps in order to provide worldwide cover for portable equipment such as laptops.

  • Reinstatement of information
    It is possible to lose, or for information to be corrupted, following damage or malicious erasure. Prudent "back up" procedure may reduce potential costs in this area, - however a minor and undetected corruption which may not show itself immediately could mean that the back up data is also corrupted.
  • Breakdown
    Damage from internal causes such as the breaking, distortion or electrical burn out of any part while in use.

Business Interruption Resulting from accidental damage, breakdown, failure or electricity, failure of tele communication systems, failure of distribution equipment, wiring, accidental or malicious erasure of data or denial of access. Cover can be provided under the following principal sections:

  • Increased cost of working which is relatively inexpensive.
  • Loss of gross profit or revenue - somewhat more expensive.
  • Cost of replacing software licenses.

There are other benefits too numerous to mention.

Penn Badgley talks about kissing his ex, Blake Lively

12 Mar 2015

Yesterday we had Elizabeth Hurley chat about her ex, Hugh Grant, and today Penn Badgley has spoken out about his ex-girlfriend, Blake Lively.

The Gossip Girl actor went along to Watch What Happens Live and opened up about his best and his worst kiss. The poor bloke had a fair few to choose from, just on Gossip Girl alone! On the show which spanned over five years, he smooched Hilary Duff, Leighton Meester, Jessica Szohr, Michelle Trachtenberg and of course, Blake Lively.

A viewer first asked the 28-year-old bearded babe about his best and worst on-screen kisses. "It's hard to say," Penn replied. "On-screen kisses are not really that real."

After a long, hard think he replied: "I'd say best..." he pondered, "I'll say it was Blake, because we actually had a relationship at the time."

As for his worst? "Maybe Blake after we broke up," Penn Badgley said with a cheeky little grin on his face.

Blake Lively, who has recently had a baby with her husband Ryan Reynolds, dated the Gossip Girl star from 2007 to 2010. After they split, they awkwardly had to film romantic scenes as their Gossip Girl characters Dan Humphrey and Serena van der Woodsen were romantically involved.

Rex Features

When the pair got married on the series finale, Penn said: "We were consummately professional. And I think we should both pat ourselves on the back for getting through it... We handled it."

Probiotics are a waste of money for healthy adults

11 May 2016

Have you been stocking up on "friendly bacteria"? Well, scientists have now found that your daily dose of probiotics may not be doing you as much good as you think.

A team of researchers in Copenhagen, looked at the results of seven trials of the products and found no evidence that they had any effect on the health of healthy adults aged between 19 and 88 years old.

Oluf Pedersen, who headed up the research team at the University of Copenhagen, said: "While there is some evidence from previous reviews that probiotic interventions may benefit those with disease-associated imbalances of the gut microbiota, there is little evidence of an effect in healthy individuals."

Probiotic products have enjoyed surging sales in recent years due to the media championing their "benefits" and the industry is estimated to be worth £29 billion by 2018.

So what do you make of these findings? The Danish researchers have said that a larger study must be conducted before Probiotics are written off for healthy people but will this research make you second think picking up those milky drinks in the supermarket now?

Glasgow's largest bus operator believes more has to be done to tackle congestion in the city after a report found an "alarming" decline in passenger numbers.

Transport firm Greener Journeys said the number of people using buses in Glasgow is falling faster than anywhere else in the UK, putting the future of the sector "under threat".

The number of people travelling by bus is dropping by 15 per cent per decade compared to an average of 10 per cent for the rest of the UK, leading to a 22 per cent decline in passenger numbers across the Strathclyde area in the last decade.

The report also claimed that if journey times continue to decline at the current rate, bus passenger numbers will drop by between 10 per cent and 14 per cent every 10 years.

Report author Professor David Begg admitted traffic congestion in Glasgow was a key factor behind the fall in bus speeds and passenger numbers.

He said: "If you combine falling bus speeds with relatively cheap subsidised competition from an impressive urban rail network and cheap and abundant public car parking, it explains why Glasgow has experienced an alarming decline in bus patronage over the past decade.

"Traffic congestion is a disease which, left unchecked, will destroy the bus sector.

"This is a dire and sensational prediction, but the evidence uncovered in this research leads to no other conclusion.

"Urgent action is required from industry, local government and Whitehall to reduce people's reliance on cars and encourage more sustainable modes of transport."

First Glasgow said congestion leads to increased operating costs which, in turn, leads to increased fares further deterring passengers.

Glasgow City Council introduced a bus gate around George Square and Nelson Mandela Place in 2014 to reduce traffic during the day.

First Glasgow interim managing director Alex Perry said: "This report paints a stark picture for bus transport in Glasgow but we believe that by working with our partners and stakeholders in the city to reduce journey times we can turn things around.

"Sadly, significant falls in bus patronage are often portrayed as being primarily due to the actions of the bus operators.

"However, this report lays bare the significant impact congestion has on our city and on bus passengers.

"By working in partnership to make space for buses we can deliver sustained benefits for passengers and the local economy."

What can a children's song teach you about your health?

Posted on September 06 2017

So my family and I are in week two of homeschooling. It's our first year and as scary as it sounds, it's also very liberating. So to sum it all up, we spend a lot of time in the library. I mean a LOT. This is a good thing because I love books and hopefully my son will too someday.

More than books, there are also a lot of cool DVD's, audiobooks and music to borrow from the library. We recently got a chance to listen to "Here Comes Science", a music DVD from the band They Might Be Giants.

Needless to say, I loved it! I've renewed it the maximum time that I can renew so now it's got to go back and spread joy to some other child (or adult!)

Among the songs about the elements, the planets and paleontologists is this little earworm:

It's catchy! I can't get it out of my head. Every moment that I'm about to put a piece of food in my mouth I can't help but think of this song and what it tells me about how my body uses food.

Mindfulness. It's a buzzword that's used quite often by gurus and Instagram quotes. But if we really think about what we consume in our bodies, what we put on our bodies and also in our minds through our thoughts, we'd see that this silly song is actually RIGHT ON POINT.

At this point, we realize that everything we eat is being put to use for the health of our cells or going straight to the trash. How many of your calories are completely useless to your body and are going to the garbage bin?

We aren't perfect people. No one is supposed to be. Maybe it's time for a little body and adrenal reset and tune-up? I'm starting a DETOX challenge later this month. Email me at if you'd like to join. It's 100% free and full of information on how to cleanse your system. I recommend doing a good thorough detox once a season. Fall is coming. Let's do this together.

Neil Gupta Neil Gupta, chief investment officer at Rudin Management Company

NEW YORK CITY—The Rudin Management Company promoted Neil Gupta to chief investment officer. He will manage all new investments, acquisitions and financial assets for the Rudin real estate portfolio. This includes 36 properties comprising 15 million square feet of commercial and residential space in New York City. He will also help direct Rudin Ventures, which invests in real estate technology companies.

Gupta joined Rudin as SVP in 2012. He worked on the acquisition and development of large scale offices, residential rentals, condominiums and mixed-use properties. Gupta has experience in stabilized, redevelopment and development assets, debt and equity capital arranging, and in structuring and executing joint ventures and partnerships.

Bill and Eric Rudin, co-chairmen of Rudin Management Company, the operating arm of Rudin Family Holdings, say Gupta was instrumental in many of the firm’s most important initiatives. This includes Dock 72 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, a joint venture with Boston Properties and WeWork that’s scheduled to open later this year.

Gupta was also involved with the development of the Greenwich Lane, the massive, 200-unit, five-building luxury condominium at 155 W. 11th St. The project, which takes up the full block between W. 11th and W. 12th streets spanning Sixth and Seventh avenues, replaced the shuttered St. Vincent’s Hospital complex. The development was met with strong, extensive local opposition. Community activists protested its being out-of-scale with neighborhood residential housing, increasing congestion, and towering over apartments on adjacent blocks.

An Oct. 25, 2013 article in The New York Times explained that when the hospital was undergoing financial troubles, the Rudins provided a $55 million loan secured with one of St. Vincent’s buildings at 130 W. 12th St. When St. Vincent’s filed for bankruptcy in April 2010, the Rudins took possession of the building and converted it to a 42-unit condominium. The paper reported that the next year, the Rudins paid $260 million to acquire the entire hospital complex in bankruptcy court.

In the article, the Rudins noted that they contributed $1 million for a local arts program, $1 million to a non-profit that advocates for affordable housing, donated the O’Toole Building valued at $50 million plus $10 million to help create Northwell Health’s community healthcare facility.

The New York Times quoted Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation executive director Andrew Berman who opined that the condos would make the Village wealthier and more homogeneous, questioning their effects on the community.

In February 2017, Curbed listed the Greenwich Lane as the best-selling development in New York in 2016, according to PropertyShark calculations. The Real Deal reported that in February 2015 Howard Schultz, who was the CEO of Starbucks at that time, went into contract for the Greenwich Lane’s south penthouse for $40 million at $7,159 per square foot.

Prior to his work at Rudin, Gupta was with Deutsche Bank’s real estate investment banking group. He specialized in arranging, structuring and executing over $16 billion of transactions for real estate companies, domestically and internationally.

Gupta graduated from the University of Chicago with honors in economics and holds an MBA in real estate and finance from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. His LinkedIn profile lists fluency or proficiency in six languages: English, French, Hindi, Italian, Punjabi and Urdu.

Sautéed Butternut Gemolata

Fresh lemon, finely chopped nuts and fresh parsley create a wonderful flavor and texture that goes perfectly with the natural sweetness of butternut squash.

Once you’ve peeled and seeded the squash, dice into small cubes, about 1/2″.ButternutGremolata2

Saute the squash until a nice golden crust develops on the sides. This browning (caramelize) is what gives the squash a light sweetness. Remove from heat and add the remaining ingredients, tossing well.ButternutGremolata3

    I have a sensitivity to nuts. Do I need to adjust anything in the recipe if I take the nuts out?

    • Marla Hingley
      Marla Hingley November 24, 2015 at 3:16 pm #

      I would add something else to give it a similar texture, like hemp hearts.

  2. Lisa October 3, 2018 at 1:52 pm #

    Would carmelized onions work to substitute for the nuts? I can’t use hemp hearts because I am on an autoimmune protocol diet.

    • Marla Hingley
      Marla Hingley October 5, 2018 at 3:57 pm #

      A gremolata topping is usually one filled with a bunch of textures (in addition to flavor). I might go for some crispy fried onions bits, but soft caramelized onions would be tasty too!

10 Wonderful Benefits of Using Castile Soap for Cleaning

Today more consumers are demanding healthier versions of the cleaning products we use in our homes. Gone are the days when you would randomly select an item off the grocery store shelf and not know what ingredients it contained. Many people suffer allergies and skin sensitivities and demand to know exactly what types of cleansers they’re using on their skin or to clean their homes.

castile soap benefits

You may have seen Castile soap at your local store but not understood what it was. It’s long been used in Europe, and is naturally sourced from olive oil. It’s named “Castile” for the Castile region of Spain.

What is Castile Soap?

Soap making history has been traced back to ancient Syria and Egypt where it was made for Queen Cleopatra, Queen Zenobia, and other wealthy people of the region. This soap was made in a hard bar form that we’re still familiar with today. Soaps were both made from laurel oil sourced from the laurel plant and olive oil sourced from the olive plant.

Laurel oil-based soap was green, but olive-oil based soap was a white or light yellow soap. As it continues to harden as it ages, it also stays white, rather than turning colour like other types of soaps.

Most likely the Crusaders brought Castile soap back to Europe during the 11th century. This was the earliest recorded instance of people using Castile bar soap, right after the Crusades. But there are records around the 1st century that the Romans were aware of its existence.

Since Europe had no easy access to laurel plants, instead they made the bar soap with olive oil. After the Crusades, soap production started around the Mediterranean region, particularly in Spain.

In Europe, it’s believed that the first bar soap was made with tallow, which is a form of animal fat from beef or mutton. This type of soap served its purpose but wasn’t all that pleasant to use.
People who could afford to buy the Castile soap loved how it had a pleasant smell but could also have fragrance added. It also cleaned well and was much more pleasanter to use than the original tallow-based soaps.

There was a soap revolution around the 17th century, as the soap had ties to Catholicism. This led to other types of soap being created, ending the monopoly of Castile soap in Europe.

Local apothecaries in Spain and Europe knew this soap by its two Latin names—sapo hispaniensis meaning Spanish soap, and sapo castilliensis meaning Castilian soap.

This soap is extremely versatile and can be used for any purpose in personal body care and home care.

1. Castile Bar Soap Cleans Your Body Effectively

If you’ve tried a variety of different bar soaps over the years, you know they’re not all alike. Some soaps may not clean very well. Then there are other soaps that are so soapy that you have difficulties rinsing your hands and skin afterwards.

Castile soap provides a nice balance for your skin. It removes all dirt and debris from your body, as well as harmful organisms such as viruses or bacteria that we may pick up from touching door knobs, keyboards, or tables. It also has a nice consistency that isn’t too hard to rinse off your skin after using it.

If you’re ever curious as to the cleaning power of Castile soap, simply take a bath. After, you’ll notice how your crystal clear blue water has turned a darker shade of brown. Just imagine how all of that dirt was lying on your skin for the past 24 hours!

2. Castile Liquid Soap Makes an Effective Home Cleanser

Castile soap isn’t only sold in one form, it’s also sold as a liquid too. Often it’s available in a larger container so one bottle will last you for several months.

You can use the liquid soap for all types of cleaning in your home. You can use it as dish soap or to clean sink and counters. You can mix it with a bit of vinegar and scrub your floors. It’s safe to use on all types of flooring—tile, linoleum, hardwood, laminate, cork, and more. You can even use it for the spot cleaning of carpet stains. Simply neutralize the soapiness with a bit of vinegar after using.

It’s effective for scrubbing out your bathtub, sink, and toilet, and doesn’t have the abrasiveness that powder bathroom cleansers do. It will never wear away at the finish of your acrylic or porcelain bathroom fixtures.

Most likely you’ll find many more uses for it in your home.

3. Castile Soap is Safe for Sensitive Skin

If you have sensitive skin, you’ll likely want to avoid your usual store-brand soaps. Often these are full of ingredients that you can’t even pronounce, yet you still need to wash your skin. Fewer ingredients in a bar of soap means that the chances are decreased that you’ll suffer a reaction. Castile soap is a non-toxic alternative for people who suffer from sensitive skin.

This soap has been used for centuries and is experiencing a resurgence in popularity. You can use the bar version of the soap, or buy a large bottle of liquid soap and pour it into a dispenser for use at the sink or in the bath or shower.

Since this soap contains no scents or fragrances in its classic form, you also won’t have to worry about experiencing reactions from added ingredients. There also won’t be any added colours or dyes.

This is a soap that is safe for people of all ages to use, and is completely free of harmful chemicals.

4. Excellent Body Cleanser for Eczema Sufferers

When you suffer from eczema you still want to wash your hands, face, and body, yet your skin may be extra-itchy and sensitive from eczema. Castile soap is your best choice for helping to clean and calm your skin. This is because it’s made from olive oil, which also has a proven benefit for softening and calming problematic skin.

This soap can help to naturally soften and soothe skin. It also won’t clog your pores which can lead to additional issues.

5. Possesses Antibacterial Properties

Castile soap naturally possesses antibacterial properties. Just like it’s perfect to use on skin that suffers from eczema, it’s also good for people who suffer from psoriasis or acne.

The soap contains natural antibacterial properties that will help kill the bacteria that causes acne. This will help to give your skin a chance to clear up, and in a week or two your face will start to look better.

Castile soap is also good to use when you’re at work and exposed to people who have cold or flu bugs. You can wash your hands on a regular basis without worrying about the soap drying out your skin.

6. Suitable for People with Allergies

Castile soap is perfect for people who suffer from allergies. Since the soap doesn’t contain any scents or fragrances, nor any additives or fillers, your chances are decreased that you’ll suffer an allergic reaction.

And if you have allergies and prefer to make your own beauty care products, you can use Castile soap as a base and add in your own additional ingredients to make your own shampoo or body soap.

7. Best Shampoo Alternative

If you’ve ever been frustrated with the over-scented shampoos that you buy in the stores, you can switch to washing your hair with the liquid form of Castile soap. It’s perfect for people who just want to wash their hair and not have it reek of unnatural scents afterwards.

Castile soap doesn’t contain any detergents that will strip your hair or scalp of its beneficial oils. It also won’t dry out your scalp. Your hair will be clean and soft. You won’t experience any itching after using it.

Usual shampoos are often loaded with silicones that can also weigh down your hair, and aren’t necessarily that safe for your body. But you won’t have to worry about that with Castile soap.

For people who like to use a rinse or conditioner after using shampoo, you can simply use apple cider vinegar. This neutralizes any lingering soapiness, and the acidity of the vinegar helps to reseal the outer layer of the hair.

Castile soap is safe for people who like to wash their hair once a day.

8. Use as a Base for Personal Care Recipes

Castile soap can be used to make all sorts of personal and home care recipes. You can make your own shampoo, hand soap, shower gel, bubblebath, or laundry soap. Essential oils can be added for additional benefits, or to simply add a natural fragrance.

For the home, you can add in lemon and vinegar to make floor and bathroom cleansers.

9. Suitable for Vegetarians & Vegans

Whether you avoid animal-based products for ethics or religious reasons, Castile soap is 100% suitable for you to use. Since it’s made from only olive oil, it contains no animal-based products that are often in many store-bought cleansers.

Vegans and vegetarians usually want to avoid products containing lanolin, beeswax, tallow or rendered beef fat, and lard which is rendered pork fat.

Using Castile soap for home or personal care will make it simpler for you to conform to your personal practices and beliefs.

10. Safe to Use Around Babies & Pets

Many household cleansers are harsh and full of questionable chemicals. Often bottles tell you to rinse thoroughly after using. But it can be difficult to rinse a floor well enough to get these substances out. The solution is to use a 100% safe product for your family.
Using Castile soap to wash your floors or bathroom is safe for everyone. And if you choose to bath your child, or give your pets a bath, you can also use Castile soap on them.

If your child or pet happens to lick their skin, the soap is non-toxic and won’t harm them in any way. They’ll also be safe, even if they walk across that freshly-cleaned floor afterwards.

Castile soap is also affordable for everyone to buy, so it can easily be substituted for all the other products you normally use in your home.

Castile Soap Side Effects

While Castile soap is safer to use than many other body and home care products, you should still observe some cautions when using it.

  • Don’t use Castile soap in your dishwasher or washing machine. This will cause an excess of bubbles and flooding. Only special cleansers should be used in these types of appliances.
  • If your water is hard in your city, the soap may leave behind a white film on surfaces. In these cases, use filtered or bottled water. Or, rinse off with a vinegar and water solution.
  • Just like with any type of hair care product, test the soap on a small section of colour-dyed hair first. The soap could strip away the colour.
  • The soap will still make a baby cry if it gets in their eyes. Simply wash out with warm water, or use only a small amount to avoid this situation.
  • Castile soap is highly concentrated, so only use a few drops for each purpose. Otherwise, you’ll just be wasting the soap, and the tap water you’ll be using to wash away the excess.

Thoughts on Cleaning with Castile Soap

Once you start experiencing the benefits of using Castile soap, you’ll soon wonder how you ever did without it. One large bottle of Castile soap will help to clean your home and act as a good personal care cleanser too. And if you don’t like to wash with a liquid, you can also purchase Castile soap in a bar form. It’s an affordable way to keep your family clean in your home.

Whether you choose bar or liquid form, your Castile soap is going to act as a gentle cleanser that will last a long time. You can also feel happy and confident that you’re using a safe and environmentally-friendly cleaning product in your home.

Calling all iPhone users, this unknown trick using the space bar will blow your mind!

Comedy Wildlife

A new iPhone trick has been discovered and people are losing their minds over it because it changes how we use the phone completely, here it is…

Ryan Seacrest and Kelly Ripa shared an iPhone trick that is blowing people’s minds. Have you ever typed something up and felt so frustrated that you couldn’t easily go back to one specific word to correct a spelling error. We have and so that is why this new trick is so life changing.

The space bar on an iPhone acts as a cursor. That means no more tapping on a word a million times to get the cursor into the right place, the space bar will do it for you.

Apparently the feature has been on the phone for the last three years but it is only recently that it has been shared on a global scale.

Have you known about this trick or are you just as mindblown by it as us? Let us know in the comment section.

Take a look at the video below for an example of how to use it in practice.

The Author, Taryn Green, is the Business Development & IT Coordinator at Gougeon Insurance Brokers.

Shaded by two large trees, a favourite little patio sits outside the entrance to our head office in Sudbury, Ontario. This set has come in handy lately with all the hot weather. On such days, you can usually find a team member on their lunch break reading a good book or just watching people pass by.

And even though summer is full of travelling, exploring, and reading, I discovered that our team has taken on a different sort of adventure. Here’s what our team members have been up to…learning, to be more precise…

Shawna, The Persistent Orator

Shawna has worked in the insurance industry for 29 years; she has been Gougeon’s Vice President of Operations for 15 of those years. Despite her extensive knowledge and background, she continually strives to refine her skills, learn new ones, and push herself outside her comfort zone.

With the goals to enhance her communication skills and ability to motivate her team, she registered in Sudbury Toastmasters. Each week, the club meets and participants help each other improve their communication and public speaking skills. This provides Shawna with “homework”.

Prior to a club meeting, you can hear her practicing speeches. She may also ask you, “What do you think about this opening line?” She then proceeds to rewrite it several times until “punchy” perfection!

Recent development: Shawna is now the Vice President of Education for the Sudbury Noon Hour Toastmasters.

Jody, The Inquisitive Learner

You need only to look at the letters after Jody’s name to realize that she’s a lifelong learner: Jody Elliott, CIP, CAIB, CRM.

Jody obtained her first certification in 1998, earning her Canadian Accredited Insurance Broker licence (CAIB), which took her 2 years to complete. She attained her Canadian Risk Management (CRM) designation in 2006, which took her 1.5 years to complete. This designation enhanced her focus and expertise on risk and risk mitigation. She earned her Chartered Insurance Professional (CIP) designation from the Insurance Institute of Canada in 2013. This endeavour took her 3.5 years.

When I asked about her motivation behind achieving all these designations, she laughed and stated, “I just love to learn”, and explained that they help her, help her clients.

What’s next for Jody? Well, she’s taking a break from formal education (rightly so!), but is expanding her knowledge of other topics. She’s been researching the benefits of essential oils, like how they could be used to better her health and in place of other chemicals.

Did you know? Fun fact! A remedy for bugs and spiders in your house is to mix peppermint oil and water in a spray bottle and squirt it around doors and windows. Bugs and spiders hate the stuff, so they’ll stay away! Who knew?

Taryn, The New Me

I thought I would share what I’ve been up to, since I ask it of my team members. I’ve recently become a mom for the first time. With it, came an entire new set of priorities.

Upon returning to work after maternity leave, I found I needed to rediscover my goals: work, family, and personal. One morning at work, a Life and Workplace Coach spoke to our team as part of our Corporate Wellness Program. After the talk, I signed up to visit the coach outside of work to learn more about setting goals and new work-life priorities.

It’s been a great help. I’ve even recommenced journaling.

Good riddance.

Democrats seeking the removal from Washington, D.C. of prominent monuments to the Confederacy have reason to celebrate this afternoon, as perpetually-embattled White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is, at long last, officially back on the job market. This report, from the New York Times, broke first:

The president and senior White House officials were debating when and how to dismiss Mr. Bannon. The two administration officials cautioned that Mr. Trump is known to be averse to confrontation within his inner circle, and could decide to keep on Mr. Bannon for some time.

And then, minutes later:

Yes, apparently the official story out of the White House is that Bannon actually tendered his resignation two weeks ago, and that it became effective on Monday, and that the former Breitbart executive had publicly remained a member of the administration until right now as part of a hilarious compromise between a tough-talking boss afraid to actually fire people on the one hand, and a marginalized zealot with an incurable martyr complex on the other.

It is profoundly depressing that the men purportedly in charge of the executive branch of the United States government are frantically crafting competing narratives of their agonizing breakup like a pair of high school sweethearts racing to see who can log in to Facebook and press the CANCEL RELATIONSHIP button the fastest. It is also true that Bannon is certainly not the only unapologetic bigot on the president's payroll, and that the likes of Jeff Sessions, Stephen Miller, and sentient goatee Seb Gorka are probably elated at the chance to step into the shadow president role that Bannon leaves behind. This administration has ably demonstrated that it is rotten to its core, and the departure of one dude, no matter how evil said dude may be, won't fix it.

That said, today is, on balance, a good day. Steve Bannon is an inveterate xenophobe whose involvement in politics, in any normal universe, would be limited to diligently penning and publishing dumb blogs that get cross-posted to Stormfront message boards with alarming frequency. His departure from the White House should have happened a long time ago, but at least it happened, and at the tail end of a genuinely awful week, this qualifies as cause for celebration, or a grim but satisfied nod at the very least.

What's next for Bannon, you ask? Let's let current Breitbarters weigh in.

Have a great weekend, Mr. President.

Zayn Malik's New Haircut Has a New Hair Color

But evidence will disappear in a few hours.

Pop star and hair god Zayn Malik has been on a follicle-related roll lately, most notably bringing back a length of sideburns we thought was gone for good. We thought wrong. Today on Instagram, the singer debuted a brand new pastel hair color, a fresh minty green hue on the tips of his extreme fade 'do.

Malik's dabbled with green hair before. Back in 2015, the "Still Got Time" crooner treated his short buzz cut to a Joker-level lime green dye job that bordered on punk (well, as close as a rebellious onetime boyband-er can get to punk). This new iteration of green-hued hair reads less severe (as far as Instagram Story evidence goes) with what appears to be an ombre situation into his natural, dark hair color.

Can Malik make green tips a legit grooming move among adults (Jared Leto aside)? We'll have to wait and see. It could be the next wave rebel style hair moves now that the bleached buzz has hit critical mass. But if any man can influence the menswear world's hair trends, it's Zayn Malik.

Conference Presentations

In addition to the full & half-day programs, we have also developed several Conference Presentations that have been specifically designed for the meeting setting of 1-3 Hours.

Successionplanning Full Day

Succession Planning

Succession planning is a vital step in ensuring the future success of your company. But, given the impact on the owner and the organization, succession palnning is also one of the most difficult processes to undertake.

That's where we can help. Through our training, tools and resources, we will guide you in making the best succession planning decisions for you and your business.

 Building Leadership

Building Effective Management Skills

There is a tremendous difference in being a manager and being an effective manager!

This presentation will cover some very practical tips on how to be a very effective manager.  During the presentation we will cover things like:

  • Attributes of effective managers
  • Ways to increase communications
  • Specific goals to meet
  • Great ways to motivate your people
  • And much more........

It matters not if you are a new manager or have been in the position for some time; you will find great value in this presentation.

Cash Flow Faucet

Cash Flow & Cash Flow Budgeting

Once proper labor pricing is determined, the next major obstacle is cash flow. Cash flow puts more companies out of business than any other single thing, except improper pricing.

This full-day workshop “walks” the contractor through the process of developing a month by month, department by department, cash flow budget. The budget then tells each contractor what department is making money and which isn’t, and projects their monthly cash flow needs.

During the session we discuss payables, receivables, and a formal collection's policy. Numerous cash flow tips are presented and the use of  credit cards is discussed along with how to set up a line of credit.

Customer Definition

Customer Driven Choices

Selling up is all about communicating with your customer. In the trades, we have a language all our own and we think the customer talks our same language. WRONG! They don’t – and if your customers don’t understand what you are telling them, there is no value. No value equals no money. Without that value, the only thing left to sell is price. We will also cover the 5 Buying Principles and the affect they have on how your customers are buying from you. During this program, we will take a look at the words we use and how the customer will hear them. We will also take a look at how we communicate and how to recognize the four different communication styles of our customers and how to communicate with them in the way that they need us to.

Each participant will complete a behavioral communication assessment and will learn how to recognize the style of others. We will also look at what each customer wants and needs during the sales process.

Providing Great Customer Service...In The Trenches

Your customers are the lifeblood of your company. Without them, there is no reason for you to exist! It is imperative that you make them feel like your most important customer - because to them, they are.

At the same time, your techs and installers got into this industry because they like to work with their hands, not deal with people. Consider this:

  • Are they giving your customers more information then they want to know? Or are they leaving them feeling like they are being kept in the dark?
  • How does your receptionist or dispatcher deal with an angry customer when they call in? Do they set the techs up for success? Or do they only serve to make the problem worse?

This program is fast moving, fun and applies to every employee in the contracting company.

I'm ready to overcome music challenges—Naa Belvy

By: Delali Sika
Naa Belvy
Beauty queen turned musician, Naa Belvy

THE Ghanaian music industry is tough and that is why it is not surprising that many new entrants complain about how hard it is to break through, especially if you don't have a strong management.

However, beauty queen turned musician, Naa Belvy, says she is ready to overcome all the challenges and become a success in the industry.

“I know the industry is tough, it is hard to break through because certain things are not done right. I mean for a DJ to play your song, you need to pay him something and sometimes, you pay the money and the songs do not get played.

“These things I know for sure are frustrating as an up and coming act but I am not bothered, I am in to make a mark and if it means me waiting, I will wait.

“New materials are not welcomed in this industry. Can you imagine that for the whole of 2018, no underground act has broken through into the spotlight?

"But elsewhere, every time, there is someone up. I will keep fighting to get through,” she told Showbiz in a chat on Tuesday, December 4.

Naa says she has had to deal with people indicating that she can’t make it since she started doing music professionally about a year ago.

“People tell me I cannot make it; they do it with words but you can see from their attitude but hey, I will make it and after a year, I will look at those people and tell them I made it,” she said.

In answer to what she intends to do to become the household name that she seeks to be, Naa Belvy said, “apart from the great team I have, I believe in consistency. I know I have good stuff and it is just a matter of time for people to know my worth.”

She will, however, not get to the top using sex, she said. “ I will not sell my body, take nude pictures or anything of that sort, they say sex sells but I want my music to sell me, I want to grow an organic fan base.”

As to what can be done to make things easier for new entrants into the music industry, Naa suggested that “DJs should stop playing songs that are already hits. Who makes the hit songs, it has to be played for it to become a hit. And also, the mind-set that the industry is a man’s world should be erased.”

A former student of the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) Naa Belvy was the winner of Miss Tourism 2014, she represented Ghana at Miss Tourism international and emerged second runner up.

She loves Afro pop, Afro jazz and has songs like No Parking, Kiss Me and Me and You to her credit.

Naa Belvy takes inspiration from Awurama Badu, Beyoncé and Erykah Badu.

Dicamba Ban Hangs in Limbo

On the doorstep of an immediate in-crop use dicamba ban, the Arkansas State Plant Board (ASPB) appeared to vote down an emergency rule motion proposed by the state Pesticide Committee (a special committee of the ASPB). However, questions over voting tallies at the June 20 meeting negated the vote and placed the dicamba issue back in question.

Despite eight ASPB members voting for the ban and six ASPB members voting against the ban, uncertainty ruled the day when a requirement of nine yea votes in favor of the dicamba ban was assumed. The proposed ban seemed to be a single vote short, yet the entire proceeding is now in limbo. “Due to a procedural error, the vote to consider a ban on in-crop use of dicamba by the Arkansas State Plant Board will be re-voted on at a later time. The ASPB is working to schedule a special called board meeting as soon as possible,” says Adriane Barnes, communications director for the Arkansas Agriculture Department.

Essentially, the ASPB will re-vote. Against a backdrop of divided growers, heavy drift in 2016 and a flurry of current complaints in 2017, Arkansas has arguably become dicamba’s bellwether state.

With ASPB approval, the motion detailing a dicamba ban would have awaited the signature of Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson. Arkansas already banned Monsanto’s Xtendimax dicamba formulations on Jan. 4, 2017, but gave a green light to BASF’s Engenia product line for the 2017 crop season. As of June 21, the Arkansas Agriculture Department (AAD) had received 207 dicamba misuse complaints across 19 counties.

Shillington's Total Draw Poultice Powder

The poultice powder can be sprinkled into a wet or bloody wound in order to regrow new tissue or it can be mixed with warm distilled water and applied to the area. Do not rinse the herbs out when you change the poultice, just keep putting more on top of it.

Impurities and poisons are drawn from the body by this poultice.  Change it 2 times a day for maximum effectiveness (once in the morning when you get up & once at night before you go to bed).  This poultice works very well for all types of cancers.  The poultice will increase blood flow and lymphatic circulation which then breaks up and disperses the tumor.

More Information
Manufacturer Shillington's Formulas - Organic Solutions
Country of Manufacture United States

Red Clover blossoms, Chaparral leaf, Poke root, Goldenseal root, activated willow charcoal, Bentonite clay and Slippery Elm inner bark.

Suggested Use

In a pint jar pour ½ cup of raw organic apple cider vinegar and ½ cup distilled water.  Put the lid on the jar and shake.  The size of the tumor and area you wish to cover will determine the amount of poultice powder you will use.  Get a small bowl and put the dry poultice powder in the bowl.  Now pour a small amount of the vinegar/distilled water liquid into the powder and mix.  You want the consistency to be a little more liquid than a pie crust or in other words a dry paste.  If it gets too watery, add more powder and if too dry, add a touch more vinegar/water.  When the correct consistency is reached, apply about ¼ inch of the thick paste to the area and cover with cotton gauze and tape.  Then cover with plastic or cloth as necessary.  To goose up the strength, add a dropperful of DMSO to the mixture.

 We do not recommend ingesting this poultice powder.

Can this treat stomach ulcers?

 No. We do not recommend ingesting this poultice powder. For stomach ulcers try the Intestinal Detox and the Total Healing Poultice Powder.

This Solar Box Provides Energy And Clean Water For Those In Need

By Brian Spaen

In recent years, there has been a number of solutions available for impoverished countries to receive electricity. Companies are releasing affordable solar-powered boxes that can generate energy for standard appliances. One product that is particularly unique is the Off Grid Box from an Italian startup, who is looking to make it on the large scale and expand their user reach.

Measuring at six feet by six feet, it’s topped off with a solar array that does more than just generate energy for use. It also has the ability to clean and filter water for general use. Providing water and electricity in a simple, automated setup would be ideal for those dealing with scarce resources.

Six specific parts make up the product. Along with the aforementioned array, there’s an integrated inverter that collects the sun’s energy and transfers it into usable electricity and places it in the included battery pack. It can also collect water and stores it in a tank. When it’s taken out, it has to go through a filtration system. Other cool features include remote monitoring with a mobile device, has a swappable battery, and features a 10-year warranty.

One Perryridge Road, Greenwich, CT

If your vagina has become lax to the point that you have issues during intercourse, you may want to consider a vaginal tightening procedure. Once this tightening occurs, you and your partner should experience increased friction and greater sexual pleasure as a result. Through Connecticut vaginal laxity treatments, a qualified doctor could turn back the clock and restore your vagina to its pre-childbirth or younger state.

Causes of Vaginal Laxity

The more children a woman has given birth to vaginally, the more likely her vagina is to become lax. The birth of an especially large baby or a difficult delivery requiring forceps can exacerbate this problem.

However, while childbirth is the most frequent cause of vaginal laxity, it is not the only one. As women age, the loss of estrogen after menopause can wreak havoc on a woman’s body in many ways, including losses to skin firmness and tone. Women who have experienced vaginal trauma are also more vulnerable to vaginal laxity and may benefit from Connecticut vaginal laxity treatments.

Loss of Vaginal Muscle Tone

The loss of vaginal muscle tone due to childbirth or aging can affect women in other ways besides those dealing with intercourse. Some women suffering from vaginal laxity may experience issues with urinary incontinence. Surgical treatment for vaginal laxity can also aid in eradicating this issue.

What Does Vaginal Laxity Treatment Entail?

Vaginal laxity treatments may be performed surgically or non-surgically, depending on the needs and preferences of each patient. Surgical vaginal laxity treatments, such as vaginoplasty, are permanent.

Women who undergo these treatments should plan to take a week off work to recuperate and may have to wait two to three weeks before resuming strenuous exercise. Surgical treatments also require the woman to abstain from vaginal sex until healing is complete, which generally takes about six weeks.

Non-surgical treatments are not permanent and require annual or bi-annual sessions, but little downtime is involved. Some of these procedures can be finished in the span of a lunch break from work. There is also little restriction on sexual activity after these treatments, although for some therapies it is recommended that women wait a day or two before engaging in vaginal intercourse.

Laser or Radiofrequency Therapy

Both of these non-surgical methods work by heating the vaginal tissues, which results in additional collagen formation. The new collagen produced helps tighten the vagina, as well as improve muscle tone. Most women will need two to three sessions spaced two to four weeks apart.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

In this non-surgical procedures, a woman’s own blood is used to create PRP, which is then injected into the vaginal tissues. Platelets are full of growth factors and increase collagen production and blood flow once injected. The latter in particular helps boost sexual response.

What Vaginal Laxity Treatments in Connecticut Could Do for You

Dr. Edward Jacobson could explain the various types of vaginal laxity treatments available to you, so that you understand your options and the results you can expect. He could also go into detail about possible side effects, complications, recuperation, and any downtime required, allowing you to make an informed decision about the type of vaginal laxity treatment you would like to have.

If you are dealing with sexual or other physical issues relating to vaginal laxity, call Dr. Jacobson’s office in Greenwich, Connecticut and arrange a consultation. We could work with you find the best Connecticut vaginal laxity treatments for you and help you improve your physical and sexual life through safe and effective procedures.

Harvest the Power of Microclimates

, written by Benedict Vanheems gb flag

Suntrap patio with herbs

When planning a garden we’re often warned about areas to avoid: shade, wind tunnels, frost pockets – you know the sorts of things. But what about those areas that can positively help your growing?

Warm Surfaces

Any hard surface will absorb heat during the day then release it at night when temperatures drop. Walls, fences, paving – even large rocks – can help protect plants from nighttime cold temperatures by radiating out this stored heat.

Take advantage by growing heat-loving crops such as chilies against hard surfaces. Vining tomatoes, for example, can be grown against walls that face the midday sun, taking advantage of radiated heat to encourage quicker and more even ripening, while extending the growing season.

You can boost this effect further by adding a layer of crop protection. For example, clear polythene screens laid across wall-trained fruit trees, such as peaches, can shield frost-sensitive blossom on cold nights, guaranteeing a crop of juicy fruits. Lean-to greenhouses or cold frames can offer a similar effect, using the sun-facing wall as a free source of heat that will keep temperatures inside significantly higher at night. Use them to start off early seedlings and gain a solid two to three-week start on outdoor sowings.

Lean-to greenhouse

Suntraps are sheltered areas of the garden that enjoy plenty of sunshine, creating a cozy corner that warmth-loving plants thrive in. Like a greenhouse, a suntrap can have the effect of extending the growing season, with conditions often a week or two ahead of less-sheltered areas in spring.

Grow vegetables in pots on sun-drenched patios, or fix hanging baskets, troughs and other containers onto vertical surfaces that soak up the sun’s warming rays. With some creativity, suntraps can become very productive indeed. Just remember that warmer conditions mean that plants will need watering more often in summer too!

Balcony Gardens

Rooftop and balcony gardens benefit from being lifted clear of the ground and away from potential frost pockets. You’ll need to consider the additional exposure to wind, but with a few carefully placed screens a balcony could become a sheltered microclimate ideal for growing more tender crops.

Peas used as a screen

Shady Spots

In hot climates you can use the opposite effect and take advantage of cooler microclimates. Shady areas of the garden will provide welcome relief from singeing heat, enabling cool-season crops such as lettuces and peas to grow, even in midsummer.

Shade is especially helpful in the midday and afternoon heat. If you’re not sure where the shade falls in your garden, take the time to track its progress during the course of the day and plan your sowings accordingly. Shade netting can also be used to create temporary shading for young seedlings and plants.

Shade in the garden

Raised Beds

Garden beds raised above soil level – whether within a framed raised bed or on mounded soil – will drain better and warm up earlier in spring. Orient beds to face the midday sun to enhance this effect.

Cover raised beds with a row cover and you can extend the growing season even further. Any vegetables can be grown in raised beds, with early crops such as carrots especially benefitting from these improved conditions.

Using mini raised bed covers in the GrowVeg Garden Planner

Our Garden Planner enables you to add cold protection such as cloches, cold frames and row covers to your plan. Simply select Garden Objects from the selection bar menu, scroll through to choose the item you want, then click to select. Move the cursor to where you want it on your plan, click to place it, then drag the corner ‘handles’ to stretch out the cover to fit. The accompanying Plant List automatically extends the sowing and planting times of crops beneath the cover.

Every garden has its own unique microclimates. Make the most of them and you can really improve your growing success. Why not share your experiences of using microclimates to make the most of your garden by dropping us a comment below?
