How Often Do I Need to Replace My Garage Door?
You can go for years without needing to replace your garage door. Your garage door will last longer if you clean it and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for taking care of it. If you perform maintenance work at least once a year, a garage door’s lifespan can extend to up to several decades and also increase your home’s value. If you’re having problems with your garage door, though, consider getting it replaced.
Common Garage Door Problems
If you’re like most homeowners, you probably take your garage door for granted. As long as it goes up and down when you need it to, you don’t think much about it.
Then one day, you walk out to the garage to leave for work.
How to Open a Garage Door Without Power
Coming home to a non-functioning garage door can be incredibly frustrating. Whether it’s a dead battery in your remote or a power outage, you should know how to open and shut your garage door manually. You don’t want your vehicle to get stuck in the garage, unable to leave, while you wait for a maintenance specialist. To open the door successfully, you’ll need to know the common causes, standard procedures and safety tips to open a garage door on your own.

Prior to retiring from teaching, I burned the candle from both ends. My day started early, getting both myself and the kids fed, showered, and off to school. Then there was the long, often frantic pace of the school day. I typically worked ten hour days, correcting papers and redoing lesson plans that did not get accomplished during the day. I’d come home and finish preparing supper that my husband often got started for me, since he and the kids were home by 3:30 or so each day. After supper I might have time to go to the club for a class, but usually I was doing more correcting or helping the kids with their homework. All the while, the TV was on in the background, often with a 24/7 news channel on, telling me all about the horrors of the day. By the time I went to bed, I was literally so exhausted, I had trouble getting to sleep, and once asleep, I’d often wake up and be wide awake from about 4:00 AM until it was time to start the day again. It makes me tired just thinking about those days!
It’s no wonder that I was often sick. Because lunch was typically only about ten minutes long, after taking care of business that can not be accomplished with the kids in the classroom, my digestive system was broken. My autoimmune system was shot too. And I never took the time off to get better because time off created even MORE work.
Once I retired, it took my body about six months to get used to a new schedule. And of course, that is when my system started to really fail, as it finally had a chance to move out of “flight response” of reaction. I started doctoring myself, first with traditional medicine, and when I was on several medications with terrible side effects but which were only effective for so long before I needed to move on to heavier dose medicine with even worse side effects, I realized I needed to look at alternative medicines.
My monthly health care regime is chiropractic service once a month, massages twice a month, and acupuncture once a week, which I am now decreasing. I am only taking one medication, but take some herbs for some of the other issues I was dealing with. I have tapered off the herbs and hope to some day have a strong enough balance in my system so herbs aren’t necessary either.
But perhaps the most important part of my health care is my daily restoration. each day, I take an hour or maybe two to lie down on the couch and rest. I don’t usually sleep, but I do let my body and mind relax. This is good for my body, after teaching as many yoga classes as I do, but it even more necessary for my body systems, which had been abused for so many years.
We all need to think about the stress we place on our bodies and minds in our daily interactions. We need to find ways to bring more balance into our bodies and minds. I realize that taking a restorative nap or rest period during the day is not an option for most people. So we must find other ways to restore the body.
Yoga is one very effective way to do that, especially if our day is tight with activities that we absolutely cannot say “no” to. We need to take that hour for ourselves to replenish and restore the body. And if we don’t have time for a yoga class, we need to do a short practice at home. Sun salutations are the most effect series of poses because they work to balance the chakras, provide a healthy heart rate, and stretch and strengthen our muscles at the same time. After finishing a few salutations, we can lie down for five minutes and just feel the body relax.
If you haven’t thought about it before, it is time to consider what you do for your daily restoration. This isn’t a want, it is a NEED for the body and mind.

After China, which launched in 2014 a development program of an operating system called sovereign COS (China Operating System), it is the turn of Russia to initiate a development program of a mobile OS. The young Russian Communications Minister Nikolai Nikiforov has just announced that his country was working with Finnish startup Jolla on a national version of Sailfish OS with the aim of reducing the share of Android OS and iOS on the Russian market from 95 to 50% by 2025.
In both Russia and China, these projects respond to both political and economic considerations. Politically, the sovereign OS development is seen as the best way to get rid of American supremacy and win over some ‘non-aligned’ countries. Russia has offered to join the BRICS development program of the new OS in an international consortium. In economic terms, the development of products allows sovereign leverage in large domestic markets, which is for example not the case for Europe. The digital single market remains a dream that the ambitious roadmap unveiled early in May 2015 by the European Commission, and will likely struggle to turn it into reality in a few months.
The development of sovereign operating systems is not within the reach of everyone. It requires a strong technology capability and must comply not only with a political but also an economic logic. The operating system is indeed a generic product that cannot hope to grow without tens of millions of deployments, which in turn creates an ecosystem of applications. Proposed in 2010 by European telecom operators, the idea of a European mobile OS was quickly abandoned. Same thing in 2014 when Bercy had again considered the desirability of creating an OS « made in France ». China, itself, did not obtain the expected success with the launch of RedFlag, a Linux distribution inaugurated in 1999.
Does this mean that without a sovereign operating system there can be no digital sovereignty? No. If it is one of the important attributes of the digital sovereignty, this is not the only one. To it must be added the mastery of material, the virtualization layer, the application portfolio, infrastructure etc. Unable to master the whole. And in an interconnected world, sovereign being alone is useless … At the industrial level, the challenge today is first to master our critical information systems by controlling key areas, both hardware and software. The second call for projects of the future investment program (PIA) focuses on digital security, embedded software and HPC. The objective should not be to run behind the train already missed but boarding the next one by focusing our resources on further courses to take and where we already have some capacities as in the field of connected objects.

Blockchain is a technology that uses cryptographic principles and acts as a distributed repository. Data is recorded in individual blocks and capturing new data and transactions is confirmed by a compliance algorithm and added to the blockchain, so the blockchain grows with each transaction. In the first step, the manufacturer of the chemical industry orders raw materials from the supplier. The chemical manufacturer determines the public blockchain address of the supplier via supplier website, direct contact with the supplier, and other various ways. The chemical manufacturer will make a transaction by sending a certain amount of currency to the supplier. Enabling blockchain in the process ensures that the supplier is the only business authorized person to use the cryptocurrency issued for trading. At the same time, the blockchain function identifies the supplier as an authorized supplier of raw materials.
Framework for Application of Blockchain in the Chemical Industry
Disruption in the supply chain is one of the major challenges faced by, and an addressable issue of the chemical industry in recent years. Market uncertainty has increased owing to pandemic incidences, differences between the nations, and the closure of trades among the countries. Integration of technology that can make transactions across the supply chain secured is a high requisite in the industry.

Limited ability to receive
documentation on the chemical’s life cycle.
Comprehensive information on the
purchased chemical across the product life cycle by integration of blockchain.
Moreover, the COVID-19 crisis has accelerated the shift from conventional supply chains to digital supply chains. However, many of the companies seem to be going further, by enhancing and expanding their digital channels in integrating blockchain solutions. The recent pace of B2B e-commerce adoption in the chemical industry has been relatively slower than in other industries. For an instance, chemical sales on B2B e-commerce platforms in the United States are growing faster during post covid time, compared with pre covid time.
The benefits that companies can get with the integration of blockchain are as follows:
Many participants in a chemical supply chain can add information on raw materials and chemicals and view life cycle data. Blockchain is available to refine the supply chain data points, data development, and management by continues communicating the quantitative information to the participants across the supply chain. Blockchain focuses on software-based services for prototypes and production application integrations across the manufacturing process. To add, it also provides critical services that touch financial services, among other things. With unexplored opportunities available to various businesses and industries, and despite comparative technological advancements, blockchain capabilities are likely to attract even greater interest in the future.
Blockchain data such as delivery date, expiration date, and production date cannot be changed. The RFID tag contains only the ID number/transaction number which cannot be re-writable. As the data stored within the blockchain is segmented and distributed across all nodes, technology can be used to create and store shared and constantly shared data. Whether manufacturer or distributor, companies can use blockchain to grow transparency, reliability, and credibility within the supply chain and direct industry processes. For example, a chemical manufacturer who is about to witness a faulty product resulting in expensive losses can use the blockchain to track down the faulty processor supplier more efficiently, containing the problem and reducing staff time and costs. With the blockchain solution, current manufacturers have a live dossier of employee logs and they track the flow and transaction of goods. This provides an extra level of transparency and control and will allow major producers to compete and win against the competition.
Material and chemicals with unique IDs that can be traced from acquisition to distribution visibility of supply chain and value chain. Blockchain technology has the potential to dramatically change production chains, and with them, cut the middle person, streamline processes, improve overall security as well as simplify data management. However, blockchain is one of the emerging technologies that redefine the way companies do business. Technology itself, in terms of development, control, governance, and acquisition is still evolving. On the other side, as blockchain innovation and technology itself become more defined, the supply chain and service chain can begin to see real forms of transparency, accountability, and efficiency more than ever before. Manufacturers who take risks and adopt new business practices and technologies to move beyond the current situation are expected to have a better market grip in the coming days.
In addition to setting up and using resources, there is regular integration and acquisition in the chemical industry. Therefore, there is a need to exchange and manage shared resources between parent and other aspects of sister companies. Blockchain technology provides the best levels of privacy as it relates to the emergence of parent companies and their exit. Also, the history of evolution can be maintained by using an unchangeable layer. This reduces the costly and unnecessary actions of people and allows for a better return on investment.
Blockchain Enabled Chemical Industry Market Outlook: Europe
The competitive chemical industry supports the improvement of living standards and produces jobs and wealth. This stimulates innovation and development throughout the economic system. The industry is a provider of solutions to many sectors. In addition, the Europe chemical industry:
Europe recorded sales of US$565 billion in 2018 from the chemical industry, which is 17% of global chemical sales. The Europe chemical industry has provided 1.2 million direct jobs in 2019. The region has created an estimated 3.6 million indirect jobs and supported an estimated 19 million jobs across all supply chains. Furthermore, in 2018, the region has productivity of workers by 77% above the production rate generating additional trade revenue of US$ 45 billion.
The chemical industry is at the heart of the Europe manufacturing industry as 56% of chemicals are sold to domestic users across industrial sectors. Other important links exist between agriculture and services. The Europe chemical sector has a very innovative approach and is a powerful provider of solutions to social challenges such as climate change, health, and food.
Innovative industrial cooperation is emerging between chemicals and other industries, which helps maintain manufacturing activities in Europe. For example the partnership between the agricultural industry and the chemical industry in the production of bioplastics. The chemical industry is also a strong driver of resources and energy efficiency.
During the past two years marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing economic crisis, industry has reaffirmed its strategic role in Europe in producing the necessary health care equipment and equipment. The future of the world will be a world created by effective and sustainable chemistry, as most of the future solutions rely on chemicals. As a result, the European Commission has recognized the chemical industry for its critical role in helping the public achieve the new goals of the European Green Deal.
Moreover, the European chemical industry has a desire for climate neutrality by 2050, and this sector is uniquely positioned in the European manufacturing sector to contribute to achieving a climate-neutral society. Meanwhile, the chemical industry is expected to be competitive as the green and digital twins to remain neutral in climate, circle and digital. Strategy for Sustainability (CSS), will also affect the industry economically, but also to have a significant ripple effect on all chemical-dependent value chains.
For this change to be effective, a clear approach that includes specific timelines, milestones, and steps must be prioritized by Europe policymakers to have a positive collaboration with chemical industry manufacturers. The Chemical Industrial transformation approach must ensure the availability of competitive and low-cost renewable energy, promote the development and distribution of advanced technologies, support the development of appropriate infrastructure and facilitate access to public and private finances.

The global impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are already starting to be felt and have significantly affected the chemical industry in 2021. COVID-19 has affected the global chemical industry in many ways including by creating market disruption, directly production and supply, and its financial pressure on manufacturers across the industries including chemicals and materials. The outbreak of COVID-19 has had an impact on many areas such as all closed restaurants, airline cancellations, travel restrictions, solitary confinement, restricted house events, panic and emergencies has reached more than 40 countries, with significant declines in purchases, declines. Business confidence, stock market turmoil, uncertainty about the future, and growing panic among the people have caused the chemical industry to stagnate from the first quarter of 2020 to the fourth quarter of 2021. However, the market has marginally survived during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the rise in purchasing the consumers' goods through the online channel to prevent the spread of coronavirus. In addition, major solution providers have announced a partnership with each other to offer affordable products, which accelerate the growth of the market during the pandemic outbreak.
The coronavirus is spreading rapidly in various countries and regions, making a huge impact on people's lives economically and socially as a whole. It started as a state of human health and is now a major threat to world trade, the economy, and finances. The initial closure had led to a shortage of workers in many regions of the world, thus creating an opportunity for the chemical industry market. The COVID-19 epidemic has halted the production of many chemicals due to the closure. In addition, the number of COVID-19 cases is expected to decline soon as the COVID-19 vaccine is introduced into the market. This has led to the reopening of manufacturing companies to their full potential. This helped to help the market recover in early 2022.
After a pandemic year in 2020, the chemical industry has witnessed office workers return to work, and production capacity reached or exceeded capacity. Increased awareness about the value chain and supply chain issues coupled with raw material shortages, which made chemical companies restrained to produce usual quantities, have further boosted the demand for digital supply chains solutions including blockchain. Import shortages, border restrictions, and labor shortages were among the major factors damaging the supply chain. On top of pre-existing logistics network issues, the sector has witnessed a long-term effect of covid-19 supply chain disturbance. According to the Solvay reports, in the first 3 quarters of 2021, the cost of goods, energy, and equipment at specialty chemical makers based in Belgium Solvay is increased by US $ 232 million compared to 2020.
Blockchain integration, and credibility among the participants, have provided tools and techniques for implementation to provide efficient supply chain management solutions even during COVID-19 times. Maintain the efficiency of the production process despite staff layoffs having been identified including emergency plant staffing plans to ensure continuous operation. Take part in risk analysis and supply chain disruptions, especially for third-party vendors through data points generated by blockchain. Blockchain software processes large amounts of data in a matter of minutes with the help of automatically generated data at each node of the supply chain to provide comprehensive business-based information. Blockchain is already changing the face of the chemical supply industry. Businesses, customers, and governments all benefit from the effective management of the supply chain. Digital integration of chemical sales management makes decision-making easier and faster through data, increases efficiency, and improves the use of human resources without fraudulence. Also, blockchain has helped businesses make better quality through authenticated raw material sourcing during COVID-19 times. As a result of covid, the adoption of blockchain for the chemical industry has greatly increased to face to next disruptive situation.
Blockchain Enabled Chemical Industry - Recent Developments and Case Studies
Companies are launching new products and expanding their presence, as blockchain-enabled chemical supply chain management is a major disruptive technology that has the potential to change chemical manufacturing activities across the world.
In April 2020, Solvay S.A. has implemented blockchain technology to track its products across the value chain, in a bid to facilitate recycling and develop a sustainable economy.
As part of the European Union-sponsored Chemchain project, the company has participated in a Proof of Concept project completed by mid-2021. Currently, the global chemical industry spends an estimated € 9.5 billion a year on information about 150,000 chemical materials sold worldwide. Instead, the current system is still plagued with difficulties, information gaps as well as privacy and trust issues. The purpose of the Chemchain platform is to build a trusted, expanded and universally accepted blockchain infrastructure to store, exchange, build and track chemical-related information near the supply chain from feedstock manufacturer to end-user. Belgian building materials and chemical company Solvay has also conducted experiments on the Chemchain blockchain site to track a range of product offerings. Chemchain was created by the team behind the chemical control stage. Solvay has both revenue and market capitalization of more than US$ 12 billion). It is estimated that 80% of companies meet the growing demand for data on product chemistry. In addition, the new requirements and expectations of socially responsible companies force chemical companies to be more proactive in managing and providing information and investing in sustainable production methods. In Europe alone, around US$ 11.5 billion is spent annually by the chemical industry to comply with regulations, according to ChemChain. ChemChain blockchain technology helps to adapt to control and adapt to changing needs. Data can be easily uploaded and monitored, and consumers can trust the source of the information. Additionally, all data from the producers to consumers is ultimately managed in one place in a single platform which can be accessed through permissioned token, making the process more efficient for research to ensure that the ongoing progress sought by Solvay continues without unnecessary interference. Data is collected by providing digital tokens representing the amount of material produced when a chemical is produced. Tokens are passed around the supply chain and many tokens from different chemicals will accumulate along the way. Management of information, usage, and exposure information are also collected at each step of the supply chain. A particularly interesting feature of the program between Solvay and ChemChain is that it develops around the economy. In addition, Solvay aims to have 15% of its products from renewable or recycled services by 2030. The company is investing in a series of recycled products and wants to use blockchain technology to retrieve products from such products and be used successfully.
March 2021, Dow polyurethanes, a subsidiary of Dow Inc, has launched a blockchain project to assess and evaluate the feasibility of the technology to support the flexible bubble rotation. The pilot uses a Chemchain-built blockchain platform to transfer securely verified product information within the RENUVA recycling system. RENUVA is a blockchain platform designed to be used by the chemical industry to transfer chemical information to product-specific products.
Using the blockchain platform the Dow company will produce digital assets that contain critical information embedded in the chemical composition of its solutions. These materials can be combined with final polyurethane-based products to ensure that the content is visible at all stages in the product life cycle. Recyclers can easily access this information and point out the most appr opriate action for disposal or recycling of mattress end of life.
June 2021, Stahl, the active promoter of responsible chemistry, has taken the important step of allowing the emergence of a supply chain to the end by actively engaging with partners on the readiness and use of the blockchain.
Stahl has partnered with an independent chemical distributor named KRAHN Chemie, to ensure and certify the origin of raw materials. Following the internal driver of the Finboot blockchain-based tracking system, Stahl is now presenting concept evidence with KRAHN Chemie and is integrated into the blockchain traceability area. This step enables the tracking of key raw materials throughout the supply chain, from the source to the finished product. Over the next 12 to 24 months, Stahl will work closely with many providers and partners to advance blockchain maturity, create more nodes in the network, and deliver greater supply chain light.
April 2021, Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. and IBM Japan, Ltd. have launched blockchain a platform together around blockchain resources. technology. The aim is to ensure an obstacle that must be removed from the path to achieving a renewable economy.
As the resource distribution platform is organized by Mitsui Chemicals and IBM Japan, the aim is to ensure traction throughout the life cycle of resources, from immature materials such as monomers and polymers to the production, marketing, and use of products. The same principle applies to the recycling process thereafter, when used products are recycled, disassembled, processed, and filtered into raw materials that can be reused to make new products. In addition, the forum is intended to visualize things such as the production processes of raw materials recycled, testing methods, visual structures, and quality-related data, thus facilitating the smooth flow of goods. As the demand for plastic continues to rise worldwide, the problems caused by plastic waste are becoming more and more apparent making more powerful calls than ever before for the public to switch to a recycling economy. However, in order to use recycled materials, those involved need to be able to ensure compliance, such as being able to determine the materials used. Using blockchain technology in this tracking system will help to make supply chains more visible. It will also allow various stakeholders to ensure neutrality and fairness of work, making it possible to increase business transactions and audits and to assist those affected to avoid paperwork.
The provision of Blockchain technology is a basic opportunity for successful gains and new ways to build trust in the supply chain of the chemical industry. For companies in the chemical industry, the ability to understand and effectively use blockchain technology will be an essential requirement for building competitive supply chains.
Blockchain technology can be used to encrypt and record supply chain data from close proximity to a chemical supply chain in the form of fraudulent evidence. Chemicals can be tracked reliably in their physical routes. Data generated during the movement of goods are stored in a distributed range of storage equipment. Network data storage allows unique identification of real-time data making it impossible or expensive for fake transit data. The use of blockchain technology offers significant benefits to supply chain managers in the chemical industry. The benefits of blockchain technology begin to apply throughout the supply chain and product life cycle. Ideally, effective profits should be obtained not only from imports or exports but also from production, sales or legal acquisition events. Having a reliable and secure website for supply chain operations is very important in business areas that are characterized by low levels of trust and high retail prices. The application to prevent cobalt detection in troubled regions demonstrates the significant impact blockchain technology can have.
Blockchain is a peer-to-peer distribution program that eliminates the need for a central management organization such as a bank. A program is a series of data blocks that are linked together in a task bridge. Its open-source, inaccessible configuration opens the way to an unparalleled level of reflection across. Each record is distributed over millions of computers worldwide and verified with accuracy. In the chemical industry, for an instance, blockchain can be applied to trace chemical products under the production process and thus ensure product quality to customers from raw materials to production to goods to the customer that can be tracked continuously.
In addition, setting up and using resources with regular integration and acquisition plays a major role in the chemical industry. Therefore, there is a need to exchange and manage shared resources between parent and other aspects of sister companies. Blockchain technology provides the best levels of privacy as it relates to the emergence of parent companies and their exit. Also, the history of evolution can be maintained by using an unchangeable layer. This reduces the cost and unnecessary actions of people and allows for a better return on hard work.
The transformation of products from petroleum chemicals to basic chemicals to speciality chemicals to distributors to OEM manufacturers is a very long journey that goes through cycles of buying, selling, making and delivering bulk. As with the chemical industry, this poses a major challenge regarding the visibility of the end in all categories. Different participants in the supply chain can begin to participate in blockchain solutions if their operations are modelled transparently. This makes the supply chains more efficient and tolerant of risk by allowing the end to end.
In the near future, there may be one blockchain shared between various industries. Having a single system, unlike various companies and industries, makes it easier and more accessible to the public and offers greater clarity and security for the blockchain.

i'm new in using fluent and i need a big help about modelling a dpm simulation.
I run an unsteady 3D simulation where water droplets are being injected into turbulent airflow (std k-e model) with an uncoupled approch. so i run the continuous before and i injected the particles in a second step. i used a surface injection and i specified velocity and mass flow rate of every single point of injection of that surface and diameter and density of the particles.
problem1: when the particles are injected there is a change of the residuals that let me think that the continuous is affected by the droplets. what can i do to set up in a right way an uncoupled simulation?
problem2: i specified density and diameter of the particles and mass flow rate of each point of injection. but at each time step fluent injects a particle for each point of injection (about 51000) so i have a very big number of particles injected. This fact let me think that dansity or diameter setting weren't respected. maybe i have to change the type of injection. is there an injection in which u can set up a total mass flow rate of the whole area?
If you have ticked the 'interaction with continuous phase' this will be a coupled calculation. This wasnt clear to me at first either. You can run a DPM simulation without this option ticked, just have a suitable injection.
As for your second problem, i have a similar issue. When using a surface injection + uncoupled, the mass flow rate is ignored. If you want a particular flow rate (kg/s) you must adjust your time step so that the number of particles injected per second is equivalent to what you want.

We are making weather records here in the Okanagan. Record cold, record snow and it is only the 9th of November. So what better time to put up some winter scenes than now. We may as well get into the spirit so I am adding some cheery, happy, snowy, snowman pictures to hopefully bring a smile. One piece is called “Winter Wonderland” and one is called “Wish Upon a Star” which has a house in it exactly the color of the house we had when we lived on the coast in Maple Ridge. I was the neighborhood rebel and had our house painted turquoise. We built our house and were at the stage of painting the outside. When my husband and kids left for work and school, the painters had just arrived. They wanted to be sure that the color they were putting on was really what I wanted and of course I said yes. When the family got home, they all thought I had lost it. “What have you done” is what I was greeted with. But I told them not to worry, I had great plans for this place and the plan was to create an amazing garden. Which is exactly what I did. It has been featured in the Vancouver Sun, the Home and Garden Channel, and the magazines Gardens West and Canadian Gardening. So color has always played an important part in my life, both in the garden I created and now in my art. So here are the two winter pieces I just finished. I also just had the pleasure of being interviewed by Patricia Doyle for a Shaw Cable video which has just come out on You Tube in which I talked a little about our garden. Once I figure out how to link it to my webpage I will put it here but in the meantime you can check out You Tube, Artisans Alley, Episode 7-Nancy Vince. Not sure if that is enough information to get you there but I will figure this out and get it on my webpage. Hope you are all keeping warm. Happy November.

Nurses at Southampton’s teaching hospitals are participating in an innovative project to reduce the number of preventable falls and pressure ulcers.
Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust has been selected by the Department of Health to create an advanced method of regularly monitoring patients that cuts the risk of avoidable injuries while in hospital.
Every two hours, nursing teams will monitor all patients considered at risk of developing pressure ulcers or at high risk of falling using a new prevention tool developed by staff at Southampton General Hospital.
The assessment covers everything from checking patients’ pressure areas and decluttering the bed space, to maintaining food and drink charts and advising on length of time to be spent in a chair, and will be completed during each check.
The initiative, which launched this week, is designed to create rapid improvement in patient care by ensuring all staff are demonstrating the same high level practice over a 30-day period and will take place on all inpatient wards, excluding paediatrics, critical care and day case areas.
Gail Byrne, deputy director of nursing and head of patient safety, said: “The aim of the new tool is to highlight the most vulnerable patients in each area and for nurses to work with patients to address this with a series of checks every two hours.
“During each visit, patients will have their pressure areas assessed and their position changed, while staff will also ensure they have had a drink if required and that the area is clear, uncluttered and the call bell is within easy reach. Patients will also have their personal hygiene and continence needs addressed and will have regular contact with nurses on the wards.”
Pressure ulcers are estimated to occur in up to 10% of patients admitted to hospital in the UK, while, in acute hospitals alone last year, the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) reported 152,000 falls in England and Wales.
Gina Stanley, matron in medicine for older people, said: “We embrace this project to promote falls awareness and pressure ulcer prevention. This is an excellent opportunity to take forward a Department of Health project that will have a significant impact on patient care and experience.
“The two-hourly care delivery allows our dedicated nurses to perform and document these small tasks that have a huge impact on patient safety and experience."

Wednesday strike in Lebanon gaining more support
The Public Sector Employees Association confirmed Monday participation in strike and demonstrations scheduled for Wednesday.
It added that the draft law represents a compromise “that we accepted despite flaws and injustices.” The statement reiterated that the new salary scale was vital to reform Lebanon’s ailing public sector and raise its productivity.It renewed rejection of new taxes, particularly those that could affect low and middle income families.
“Extra spending proposed by the government [in 2012 budget] is above LL13 trillion and the new salary scale only represents 11 percent of the figure,” the statement added. Meanwhile, the Elementary Teachers Association issued a similar statement, vowing to fully participate in Wednesday’s strike and protests. The Association of Banks Employees also said they supported the strike led by the Union Coordination Committee.

More 90s are on the way for today after Indianapolis reach 90° for the 20th time in 2019! It is even a warm start to the day with temperatures into the lower 70s around central Indiana. Prepare for uncomfortable conditions late in the afternoon because humidity will create heat indices in the mid to upper 90s again. For those looking for relief, it is on the way and should arrive by the weekend!
There is scattered activity on the radar this morning near the Indiana-Michigan border with drier weather closer to Indianapolis. You will likely not need the rain gear for several hours today. However, there could be a few spotty storms that fire up during the late afternoon and early evening hours due to a nearby boundary. The storm chances will be limited today and look a bit more favorable as we close the work week.
A cold front will pass over the state on Friday, which will trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms. An isolated strong to severe storm could fire up Friday afternoon. Main threats include gusty winds, heavy downpours and small hail. The storms could impact some high school football games Friday evening. Highs will rise into the upper 80s and lower 90s.
More comfortable weather is expected once the cold front moves over the area. Cloud cover will decrease Friday night and we will have a refreshing start to the weekend! Lows on Saturday morning are going to drop near 60 degrees. You can expect a lot of sunshine through the weekend with highs in the mid to upper 80s both Saturday and Sunday.
Don’t get used to the cooler, more comfortable weather that we’ll see this weekend. It appears central Indiana will have another stretch of 90s for the third week of September!

I was stunned by the deep insight into the minds of both men and women in this book, and I loved the way the author makes the current teen with her special power a very modern and realistic teenager.
The way Hoffman explores the challenging relationships between grandmother, mother, daughter, and the men in their lives, is quite moving and sometimes sad, especially when it isn't expressed until the end of someone's life.
These women all have exceptional and unique talents that they acquire upon their 13th birthdays, such as smelling a lie, seeing other people's dreams, and seeing how people will die. How they live with these in society is part of the challenge of their lives, as is figuring out how to use their powers for good.
The book also explores the "unofficial history" vs the official history of the town, looking at the ways these women affect the community beyond just facts, including the history of the persecution of "witches," one of the women's ancestors being one who died as one.
Set in New England where witch hunting was severe, this story is completely believable in that respect. Hoffman's descriptions of the environment are poetic and vivid, and you can almost feel the ghosts of persecuted "witches" in the air.
Hoffman says that she was trying to make some sense out of how unpredictable life and death are, to write about magic in the real world -- the possible and the probable future.
I thought it was wonderful, and it made me want to heal the female relationships in my family, as well as nurture and express my own unique insights and abilities.
Sentina, January 23, 2012 (view all comments by Sentina)
Alice Hoffman has some of the most intriguing ways of using words and presenting images that I have ever read. For example, "... how it would end, with snow and silence on a brilliant afternoon," and "... the truth... once again melting in Will's mouth... so that every word came out twisted in an odd, untrustworthy shape." Sometimes I keep going back and reading such phrases over and over, they are so gripping to me.
The story takes place in current time, but goes back through several generations of the female side of the family, all the way back to when the first one was killed as a "witch," where each of the girls acquires a supernatural power on her 13th birthday, each one unique to that girl. In the story, there is only one girl born to each family, and for unexplained reasons, they apparently all keep the same matriarchal last name of Sparrow.
This book has something of a thoughtful, dreamy quality, with interesting and vivid descriptions of the Boston area in both historical and present contexts, in environment, weather, buildings, people, flowers, and sky. Marie Claire magazine is quoted as saying, "Hoffman's ethereal tale of a family of women with supernatural gifts is a magical escape, grounded in the complex relationships between mothers and daughters." Forth Worth Star-Telegram says that Hoffman has "... a beautiful sense of sentence construction, an intriguing imagination, and the ability to create compelling, complex characters that readers care about." I can't say it any better.

"Review A Day"
by Sarah Churchwell, Times Literary Supplement,
"At her best, Hoffman uses small miracles to signify a secular state of grace: in one particularly lovely passage, a doctor remembers coming to terms with death. But The Probable Future is mostly not Alice Hoffman at her best. Things are out of balance: too much magic, not enough realism." (read the entire TLS review)
by Diane Carman, The Denver Post,
"Hoffman's ethereal prose reflects the magic of her tale....Ultimately, the fantastic Swallow legend is utterly believable, even though you know it's only the magic of a gifted writer in her prime."
by Catherine Newton, The Dallas Star Telegram,
"By Part II, The Probable Future becomes The Predictable Novel. The charm wears off, despite Hoffman's continuous, vigorous crafting of imagery and casting of lyrical phrases."
by Nancy Pate, Orlando Sentinel,
"[S]himmering....[A] soft and dreamy tale of mothers and daughters, love and fate, that easily envelopes us in its enchanted realm....[T]here's no arguing with Hoffman's storytelling skills, the lyrical writing, the beautifully pieced plot."
by Kirkus Reviews,
"[O]verstuffed, ungainly, improbably absorbing....Enough stylish invention here for several novels, but this one's center cannot hold."
by Susan Wickstrom, The Oregonian (Portland, OR),
"The book could be an episode of Oprah: 'Good Witches Who Love the Wrong Men.' But fortunately, Hoffman is saved by her characters, who are nearly as complicated as their relationships with one another."
by Library Journal,
"Hoffman gives us another over-the-top yet thoroughly appealing fictional confection, with themes and settings that recall her Practical Magic....Filled with vivid (if sometimes sketchy) characters and cinematic descriptions of New England landscapes, this book will be a hit wherever Hoffman is in demand."
by School Library Journal,
"Complexly constructed, with intertwined plots, memorable settings, and intriguing characters, this is a magnificent novel."
By turns chilling and enchanting The Probable Future chronicles the Sparrows' legacy as young Stella struggles to cope with her disturbing clairvoyance. Culminating in an exquisite ending, this story showcases the lavish literary gifts that have made Hoffman one of America's most treasured writers.

Anywhoo... on to my card. This came together pretty quickly. Some washi tape, a die cut, some hemp twine, a few enamel dots and I was done. To add some interest I cut the panel to 3 3/4 x 5" and then rounded one corner. The corresponding corner of the card base was rounded as well. The Avery Elle set I used is Petal & Stems, as well as the Petals & Stems die. I can't seem to stop making projects with that set... absolutely love it!

What is an Air Weapons Specialist?
An air weapons specialist is someone who evaluates, installs, tests, and maintains the wide variety of systems used in aerial weapons. They make sure that when a pilot pulls a trigger, it is right on target and does not fail.
What does an Air Weapons Specialist do?
An air weapons specialist specializes in one kind of weapon, and it can cost thousands of dollars to train an individual. Most weapons have electronic components to locate targets, then aim and fire the weapon. Specialized knowledge is required to operate technical equipment, resolve complex problems, and provide and interpret information. These are the people who put the 'bomb' into 'bomber'.
Air weapons specialists store, service, inspect, and handle all types of aerial weapons and ammunition and their launchers. Ammunition includes rockets, missiles, and torpedoes, and can vary from small arms ammunition to nuclear weapons. They might also deal with systems unrelated to weapons such as aircraft fire extinguishing systems and ejection seats. In the United States Navy, air weapons specialists can volunteer as naval aircrew. With further training, they can qualify as a demolition operator to safely dispose of unexploded ordinance, and it is possible for them to specialize even further to handle improvised explosive devices. In carrying out their duties, an air weapons specialist may also come across classified materials which makes their work very sensitive.
If an air weapons specialist works with nuclear weapons, they will need steady nerves and the utmost mental discipline, as they will be working not only with delicate materials, but a major element of a nation's defence that simply cannot be allowed to fail. Air weapons specialists receive advanced training and their weapons take the form of gravity bombs, cruise missiles, and multiple warhead ICBMs.
Air weapons specialists must often interact with other specialists, officers, aircrew members, and civilian staff. A strong team-based culture results from the nature of their work. They are one of the few specialties of the U.S. Navy to have their own association, the Association of Aviation Ordnancemen.
What is the workplace of an Air Weapons Specialist like?
Where possible, air weapons specialists work in shelters such as hangars and workshops; these shelters can be climate-controlled, but frequently, work is outdoors in inclement weather conditions. Heavy objects may have to be manipulated and light or heavy tools operated. This is also a job that requires little supervision.
Naval air weapons specialists work at sea. Air weapons specialists may have to work from a cramped, confined, or otherwise awkward position. Light may be poor, the environment may be noisy, and there could be significant vibration. It may also be necessary to work overseas.
Before embarking on this career, a candidate needs to understand that serious injury or death can occur due to explosives, electricity, toxic materials, radiation, and cryogenic liquids. Mishaps can also be costly, hence care must constantly be taken. Personal protective garments are provided as necessary, and their use is always enforced.
Air Weapons Specialists are also known as:

Roast Beef (Slow Cooker)
1 2-3lb roast (rump, pot or chuck)
1 onion, cut into chunks
salt & pepper
1 can Coke (or Dr. Pepper)
1 6oz can tomato paste
2 c beef broth (I used 1 hefty tablespoon Better than Bouillon and 2 c water, but canned broth is fine)
3 cloves garlic peeled & crushed
¼ c flour
2 T parsley flakes
1 T onion powder
½ tsp of each of the following: Lawry's Seasoned Salt, ground white pepper, ground oregano, celery seed, Italian seasoning, paprika.
2 bay leaves
Set your slow cooker on low and cover the bottom of the crock with the onions. Generously salt and pepper the roast and place on top of the onions.
In a blender, mix the Coke, tomato paste, beef broth, garlic and flour on a low speed (so the carbonation from the soda doesn't blow the top of the blender off), then at a high speed until well blended. Add everything but the bay leaves and blend again until mixed. Pour over the meat and onions in the crock. Toss in the bay leaves and cover.
Stir VERY infrequently (every time you remove the lid, you add 20 mins to the cook time) and cook for the next 6-8 hours on low. It doesn't hurt to leave it in longer, but add an extra ¼ - ½ c of broth for anything over 8 hours. The gravy should thicken as it cooks. If it becomes too thick, add a bit more water or broth to thin it out. Make sure to remove bay leaves before serving.
Best with mashed potatoes. Leftovers are excellent for beef & noodles!

Love, more than anything else, is about value. Value can be a very healthy thing or a destructive thing. We tend to value what meets a need or fulfills an expectation. At different stages of maturity what we value radically changes; therefore, who we will love changes in harmony with our maturity and values.
If what I love about a person is what I value about them, why do we fall out of love or lose value? The answer is not as complex as it has been made to be. Here are the top three reasons I have observed for people falling out of love. But don’t be discouraged; I’ll show you how to prevent it and how to recover it!
- The top reason we stop valuing/loving the other person is this: After they caught us they stopped doing the things they did to catch us. Their efforts were real and genuine, but they are too emotionally lazy to keep putting forth the effort. Therefore, they no longer give us anything to value.
- The following is the one situation that is the hardest from which to find recovery; but it is possible. Many times what we valued about a person was not real. This lack of “realness” can be the creation of either party. Some people, desperate for love, create an illusion of the person they plan to marry. They imagine that person meeting their needs. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard someone describe their fiancé and everyone in the room is thinking, that’s not who he or she is. I call this painting a person into your life’s picture. They are not who you want them to be, so you deceive yourself and paint them in the way you want them to be. You close your eyes to what everyone else can clearly see. The humiliation of this type of self-deception is so devastating one will rarely admit it. They keep insisting, looking for and convincing themselves that the person they imagine is “in there somewhere.”
The other side of this deception is when the person you committed yourself to was never the person they presented themselves to be. You were deceived! Very few people will admit to being deceived until they are so emotionally pillaged they have no other option but to face reality. There are few things as humiliating and enraging as discovering the person we love has been dishonest with our deepest feelings.
- Since we are always growing and changing, and our circumstances and needs change, what was valuable to us changes, i.e. what made us feel loved the first year of marriage is completely different three children, two job changes, a sluggish economy and a home mortgage later.
So how do we prevent falling out of love, and how do we recover love when it is lost?
- Always seek to understand what is important to your spouse and do it! It doesn’t have to make sense to you. It doesn’t have to be what is important to you. After all, this is about making yourself lovable/valuable to your mate. (I am not saying you should do anything that violates God’s Word, violates your conscience or your dignity and worth.)
- Never stop growing as an individual. Life and relationships are dynamic, they are ever-changing; we must change with them. We don’t need the love we had when we first connected; we need the love that makes us valuable and precious to one another today! If you are becoming who you want to be in Jesus, and your spouse is becoming who he or she wants to be in Jesus, you will never grow apart. Regardless of who we grow to become, growth in Jesus is always growth in our ability to give and receive love!
- Be willing to express your needs in a non-threatening way. If you don’t tell others what is important to you at your current stage of life, they can only assume or judge. Too often they are trying hard, but in the absence of meaningful communication they are trying hard at the wrong thing!When the motive of generating love is present i.e. making the other person feel precious, held in high regard and valuable, usually the only thing missing is meaningful communication.
I have a way to help couples communicate and build wonderful marriages. I have used this tool in premarital counseling, marriage restoration and enriching love. According to testimonies, thousands of marriages have been enriched and many recovered from the simple exercises in this plan. I once presented this to military returning from deployment: some had not been with their spouse in over a year; some were suffering with PTSD; some relationships were so violent they had to receive permission from the courts to be in the same room for the meetings. I’ve seen every kind of situation where people have rediscovered love!
Brenda and I released a book several years ago called We Still Kiss. The concept was this: after raising kids together, blending two families, losing everything we had, fighting legal battles, me nearly dying, astronomical medical bills, menopause, family disasters, chronic fatigue and more, we’re still in love and we still kiss!
Here’s the way it works. Both people in the relationship agree to: 1) Read the same chapter of the book each week 2) Establish a date night to eat together, or just sit alone with no children or interruptions and discuss what you read. You can discuss how none of that chapter applies to your relationship, or how you think it does apply. You can do the exercises suggested in that chapter.

text: Metalphoto anodized photosensitized aluminum is the most specified label material in history for DoD applications. It’s also the most requested product for UID labels and data plates requiring UID. Metalphoto products are designed with superior quality for the most demanding applications. The graphics are sealed beneath a sapphire-hard anodic layer, creating an impenetrable surface. That’s why Metalphoto has excellent resistance to chemicals, abrasion, solvents; and will withstand exterior exposure in the harshest environments, including extreme cold, heat and UV. You can expect Metalphoto labels to last 20+ years in outdoor environments.

The Royal Palm Beach Village Council approved a modified site plan last week for a new 7-Eleven convenience store and gas station that will be built in the heart of the village, in the Crossroads Plaza at the northeastern corner of Royal Palm Beach and Okeechobee boulevards.
At the Oct. 4 meeting, attorney Brian Seymour of the Gunster law firm was on hand representing the developer. “The existing Mobil service station buildings and pumps will be completely razed,” Seymour said. “A new 7-Eleven convenience store will be built with 12 pumps on six service islands set to open in late 2019.”
The site plan is designed to maximize smooth traffic flow. Seymour said that the old layout stifled traffic that will soon more smoothly flow through the area now occupied by the existing service station building. The new convenience store will rise on the site currently occupied by the Mobil car wash, which will not be replaced.
Councilwoman Jan Rodusky questioned whether this new store might cannibalize customers from the nearby 7-Eleven on Okeechobee Blvd. across from Target and perhaps cause it to close.
“7-Eleven operates more than 63,000 stores and is the largest gasoline retailer in the United States,” Seymour replied. “The company conducts sophisticated marketing research in making these decisions.”
Josh Long, a planner with Gunster, assured Rodusky that there is no danger of the existing store closing.
“Each convenience store is a neighborhood market that especially caters to the needs of people who live within a three-fourths-of-a-mile radius,” he said, noting that the two stores will be about 1.5 miles apart.
In other business:
• The council gave its second and final approval to a new nightclub ordinance. The council unanimously agreed to amend the village’s code of ordinances in order to clarify such definitions as “nightclub,” “bar and/or cocktail lounge” and “live entertainment.” The changes were made so that the village can crack down on restaurants that double as unpermitted after-hours nightclubs. No one from the public commented on the changes.
• Lennar Homes was granted architectural approval for 13 additional housing models, thus making 31 models of homes available to buyers at the Crestwood North Residential PUD.
“This is an example of the marketplace having its own life and a business reacting by shifting their products in response to ever-changing market drivers,” Mayor Fred Pinto said.
The Planning & Zoning Commission passed the item unanimously, village staff recommended approval and the measure passed unanimously.
Lennar is currently developing the 385-home community under the name BellaSera at a site that was previously the village’s old water treatment plant.
• The only vote of the evening that was not unanimous was when Councilwoman Selena Smith sided with village staff and voted against allowing a 5.6-foot side setback in lieu of the required 7.5-foot side setback for a shed on Sonata Way. Because the applicant provided favorable affidavits from neighbors, and because there was some precedent granting similar variances to residents, the council allowed the variance by a vote of 4-1.
• On its consent agenda, the council approved several items, including two agreements with the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections and the issuance of special permits to Our Lady Queen of Apostles Catholic Church for a pumpkin patch fundraiser on Oct. 13 and a Christmas festival to be held Dec. 15-16.
• Village officials invited everyone to come out to the Rocktoberfest event on Saturday, Oct. 13 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 14 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Royal Palm Beach Commons Park. Visit www.royalpalmbeach.com for details.

Award is PNNL’s 90th in 50 years of R&D 100 contest
An instrument that quickly and more effectively analyzes complex biological and environmental samples was today named one of the past year’s 100 most significant scientific and technological products or advances.
The innovation was recognized by R&D Magazine in their annual R&D 100 Awards competition and was developed by researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
PNNL has now won 90 R&D 100 Awards — sometimes referred to as the “Oscars of Innovation” — since the contest began in 1963.
“My sincere congratulations to the winners of this year’s R&D 100 Awards,” said Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz. “The scientists and engineers who developed these award-winning technologies at the cutting edge facilities across our national labs are keeping Americans at the forefront of the innovation community and assuring our nation’s economic competitiveness and national security.”
Identification of small molecules that indicate disease, known as biomarkers, promises to significantly improve human heath through early diagnosis and customized treatment. However, improved research instruments for separation and identification of specific molecules in complex samples are needed to achieve this objective.
PNNL researchers have recently developed a new instrument that can process such complex samples rapidly and accurately, detecting rare yet important molecules for early diagnosis that cannot be adequately characterized using existing instruments.
The PNNL-developed instrument effectively merges two complementary analysis techniques — one known as multiplexed ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) and the other as ultrafast quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry — into the Combined Orthogonal Mobility & Mass Evaluation Technology, or CoMet.
The combination of the two distinct approaches enables CoMet to exhaustively characterize samples, some of which have many different components that vary greatly in abundance. This wide range of quantities commonly trips up less advanced separation methods. The exceptional speed of IMS permits CoMet to analyze large numbers of samples rapidly and inexpensively. This can be crucial in biomedical research, clinical practices, natural product management — where sample analysis is conducted by oil and mining industries — and in environmental studies.
CoMet has been used in collaborations with Oregon Health Sciences University and the University of Washington to investigate several diseases and with the University of Wisconsin-Madison for environmental studies. The technology was created at EMSL, DOE’s Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory located at PNNL, and integrated into several instruments that are available for use by the scientific community through EMSL’s competitive peer review process. Developed using mass spectrometers from Agilent Technologies of Santa Clara, Calif., CoMet has been licensed by Agilent and commercially introduced at the National ASMS Meeting in June 2013.
PNNL staff involved in developing and commercializing the innovation will be honored at the annual R&D 100 Awards ceremony in Orlando, Fla., Nov. 7.

The 40-year-old actress has portrayed the role of Olivia Pope in the popular ABC programme since it first aired in 2012 and the star has admitted she is keen to get her hands on the "20 purses" her character - who is the former White House Director of Communications - adorns on the show because the accessories "mean a lot" to her.
Speaking about the items she would love to get her hands on, on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers', the brunette beauty said: "She is a very well-dressed character. Well, I can't tell you on national television because then when the Prada bags are missing.
"It's not one purse. It's like 20 purses in various colours to match every outfit. They mean a lot to me, these bags."
And the star has revealed she has "seven years" worth of memories attached to each bag, which is why she wants to keep them when filming wraps up.
The 'Django Unchained' star added: "Seven years of memories in every single beautiful bag."
And Kerry says it is "fun to keep calibrating the difference" between herself and Olivia Pope.
Speaking previously about the production, Kerry - who has 12-month-old son Caleb and three-year-old daughter Isabelle with her husband Nnamdi Asomugha - said: "I'm not the same person I was five or six years ago - but neither is Olivia. So, it's fun to keep calibrating the difference between who she is and who I am."
While Kerry has starred in the American thriller series for almost 10 years, she doesn't feel the project has been "restricting" for her.
She said: "Television can feel restricting to some actors, but I'm lucky because our writers remain inventive and they are incredible, phenomenal risk takers. I get to benefit from always being surprised by Olivia's huge journey and the fact that she really is having an evolution."

Past Performance: We all know about the housing bubble that went pop. Over the past four years, PulteGroup (NYSE:PHM) hasn't posted a positive EPS in the first quarter. Yet, the EPS expectations for PHM in the first quarter this year is $.14 per share. If Pulte can meet or beat these expectations, it would signify a powerful move in the right direction for the housing market.
Over the past four years of earnings releases PHM has met or beat EPS expectations eight times, and missed EPS expectations eight times. Pulte has rebounded quite nicely for those who were brave enough to venture in to the stock in January of 2012, rebounding from just $6.54 to current levels near $20 per share. Pulte's five-year high is $21.67, set on January 21, 2013, and it may have trouble moving past that mark until the Federal Reserve raises interest rates.
Fundamentals: The market is trying hard to price in the housing market rebound in to the housing sector as a whole. Currently, PHM trades with a P/E of 36.80, a Forward P/E of 13.70, a P/S of 1.59, and a PEG of 0.57. The S&P 500, for comparison purposes, trades with a P/E of 20.5 and a Forward P/E of 17.7. While PHM may seem overvalued by way of current P/E and P/S ratio, the Forward P/E and PEG ratio tell a completely different story.
When investing in a rebound story, it is important to look at the future metrics more than the current metrics. If a market is in an obvious upswing, why would you use the current valuations when the market is trending upward? That is why it is important to watch the Forward P/E and PEG on PHM to find a true valuation of the company. I feel comfortable in Pulte until either the Forward P/E reaches the S&P 500 Forward P/E mark, or the PEG reaches a 0.90 valuation.
The Story: New home sales spiked 15.6% in January showing that housing turnaround is thoroughly under way. The inventory of existing homes has decreased about 30%, and the delinquency rate has dropped from 2.19% in December of 2011 to just 1.68% in December of 2012 as a measure of first mortgage defaults. If you need more proof of a housing turnaround, look down the street where you live. You will see far fewer foreclosure, short sale, and for sale signs. The housing market is in full rebound mode.
The only thing standing in the way of the housing market is the Federal Reserve. With interest rates at exorbitantly low levels, banks are less inclined to make loans as they can make better returns investing those funds elsewhere. By the end of the year the Federal Reserve will most likely raise interest rates, if not signal the market that an interest rate hike is coming. When interest rates rise, banks will be more inclined to lend to the individual consumer and potential homeowners again. That should help light the housing market on fire, turning the seemingly slow recovery in the housing market into a thriving housing market.
How To Play It: Although PHM is near a 52-week high and current valuations seem a bit overvalued, future metrics of PulteGroup show that the stock is still undervalued. A Federal Reserve interest rate move upward would signal a phenomenal time to buy. Looking at the short-term side, more specifically earnings season, a move to positive EPS in the first quarter would signal that PHM has reclaimed the rightful position as a top three homebuilder play. My personal 52-week price target: $31.01.
Disclosure: I am long PHM. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
Additional disclosure: Always consult with a registered financial professional before adding a new position to your portfolio. Investing involves a significant risk of loss, as such never invest more than you can afford to lose.

DCI Boss George Kinoti and Kenya’s Chief Justice almost came to blows over Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu, who was the subject of a criminal investigation last year 28th August.Mr Kinoti and the CJ fall out is detailed in a new book which captures events of August 2017 nullified presidential elections and what consequences followed the Judiciary.
It was a sunny Tuesday afternoon, DCI boss Kinoti stormed the Supreme Court building which houses both the Chief Justice and his deputy, Philomena Mwilu. Kinoti was accompanied with an entourage of officers armed to teeth, with every kind of firepower for just one harmless woman.The Supreme Court parking lot was like a battle field, vehicles horns blaring and all head lamps switch on in a spectacular alarmist nature.
This commotion would then draw attention of Justice Maraga who walked out of his office to find out what was going on.It is in this moment he came face to face with George Kinoti. A bullish heavily built figure with a mean face.Nobody could tell when he last had a smile flash across his face.He meant business.He had come to arrest Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu, who had a number of criminal allegations labelled against her, including tax evasion,corruption and abuse of office.
According to the new book, 60 Days of Independence,Chief Justice felt that the DCI boss was overstepping their mandate as the Judiciary had its own procedural ways of not only reprimanding judges who sat on the Supreme Court, but also means to investigate their conduct. Philomena Mwilu’s fate squarely laid with the JSC,not DCI. Having this in mind, the Chief Justice attempted to prevent arrest of his deputy and this is where hell broke lose.
“Who do you think you are?” Mr Kinoti is quoted as telling the CJ, according to the report, after a daylong confrontation at Maraga’s boardroom that Tuesday afternoon.Tension had ran so high the DCI boss lost his cool and was almost charging at the calm and composed Maraga, who stood his ground and it was like he was winning.
Fearing extreme confrontation and even physical assault on her boss, Deputy Chief Justice surrendered herself to the detectives something the book records, ”She felt that the affront to her boss was unnecessary and offered to go with the detectives”.
The new book is jointly written by the International Commission of Jurists – consisting senior judges, lawyers and academia from the legal profession, and the Journalists For Justice.It provides a detailed account of the mostly behind-the-scenes events surrounding the last three presidential election petitions.

As a convenience to students, we offer housing at a hostel that takes approximately 20 minutes by car to get to our classroom building. Students who sign up for a Los Angeles course will have the option during registration to add accommodations at the Hostelling International Santa Monica location. Adding a 2-night hostel stay costs $140 for March and $130 for our June weekend. Students who add housing through APW will stay in a shared room with 8 - 20 beds.
There will be a $50 administration fee for all housing refunds. Refunds only allowed up to 30 days prior to the weekend start date.
Other Housing Options
NOTE: Au Pair Weekend is not affiliated with and does not recommend any of the specific accommodations below. Please do your own research before choosing your weekend housing.
TRANSPORTATION TO CAMPUS
Note: UCLA has many different locations around the city; make sure you plan your trip around the WESTWOOD Campus!
LA’s public transportation is not as robust as many other cities. If you’re interested in taking the bus or train to get around, read this beginner’s guide to public transportation in Los Angeles and utilize Google Maps' convenient public transit option when calculating travel times. You may still need to rely on Uber or Lyft to complete your journeys.
Travel Between Airports & Campus
If you are coming directly from LAX Airport, UCLA has a list of recommendations for how to get to campus. They also offer specific driving directions. Please note that Los Angeles traffic is unpredictable and it can take anywhere from 30 minutes - 1 hour to drive the 12 miles between LAX and our Westwood campus.
We recommend parking in UCLA Parking Structure 32 at 1070 Veteran Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90024. There are other UCLA parking structures nearby as well.
The campus parking rate is $14 any time on any day with student validation. This is by far the easiest and most convenient option! Please read the signs when you arrive to be aware of any changes.
