Assa Abloy Net Misses Analyst Estimates as Sales StagnateJanina Pfalzer
Assa Abloy AB reported fourth-quarter profit that fell short of analyst expectations as the world’s largest lockmaker had no like-for-like sales growth because of weak demand in Europe and South East Asia.
Net income rose to 1.39 billion kronor ($219 million) from 114 million kronor a year earlier, when the company took a restructuring charge of 1.42 billion kronor, it said in a statement. Analysts expected profit of 1.43 billion, according to the average of 13 estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The shares fell the most in 16 months in Stockholm.
Assa Abloy has countered weak development in Europe and North America by expanding in emerging markets. The 17 members of the euro area entered a recession in the third quarter, and the U.S. economy shrank in the fourth. The Stockholm-based company will continue to make acquisitions to reach a target of 50 percent of sales coming from emerging markets versus one-quarter currently, it said Jan. 9.
“Many indicators suggest that the world economy will remain weak for the foreseeable future, due primarily to the budget cutbacks that many countries are making,” Chief Executive Officer Johan Molin said in the statement. “It is therefore of the utmost importance that Assa Abloy continues its expansion on the new markets, which are expected to go on growing well.”
The shares fell as much as 6.4 percent in Stockholm trading, the biggest intraday decline since Sept. 22, 2011. Assa Abloy traded 2.9 percent lower at 237.70 kronor as of 9:54 a.m., giving the company a market value of 92 billion kronor.
Assa Abloy targets annual growth of 10 percent over a business cycle through a combination of increasing existing sales and adding new companies. It has added 100 new companies since Molin took the helm in 2005 with annual sales increasing 84 percent in the same period, the company said Jan. 9. In 2012, the company made 13 acquisitions that added total annual sales of 4.5 billion kronor, it said today. Sales including acquisitions rose 4.2 percent in the quarter to 12.2 billion kronor.
The company has 10 percent to 15 percent of the global lock market where it competes with New Britain, Connecticut-based Stanley Black & Decker Inc. and Ingersoll-Rand Plc of Swords, Ireland.
Assa Abloy said its cost cuts are progressing according to plan. The company reduced 301 jobs in the quarter and said an additional 770 staff will leave the company before the end of 2014. Assa Abloy currently employs about 41,000 people, according to its website.

A judge has blocked the implementation of a new rent control ordinance in Montclair, siding with property owners who contested the measure after its passage earlier this month.
According to the landlords and the newly formed Montclair Property Owners Association, Superior Court Judge Jeffrey R. Beacham on Monday enjoined the township from rolling out the ordinance. Beacham, who sits in Newark, ordered that Montclair cannot take any such action until further court proceedings, granting relief to the landlords after they blasted the township council for acting in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis.
The judge has scheduled a hearing for June 3 to determine whether the injunction will become permanent, the property owners said in a news release. They are seeking to halt the rent control measure until New Jersey’s state of emergency is lifted, which would allow them time to collect petition signatures for a referendum against the ordinance.
“Not only does this order validate our claim under the law in this specific case, it is a warning to all municipalities who, under the cover of emergency, would seek to pass politically motivated legislation at a time when the public, both practically and legally, is deprived of its right to express itself or mount challenge,” said Charles Gormally, the attorney with Brach Eichler LLC who is representing the petitioners. The group includes landlords and developers Steven Plofker, David Genova, Suzanne Miller, Paul Weinstein and Brandon McEwen.
“The court materials were submitted in advance to the municipality in an effort to persuade the council to stay the ordinance voluntarily,” Gormally added. “The lack of official comment as to the legal aspects of this suit may be defensible, but on the political side of things, for not one councilperson to make a statement in support of the ordinance or the process under which it was developed and passed is very telling.”
Proponents of the rent control law on Monday said they were digging in for a fight.
“We expect the township to vigorously defend the implementation of our ordinance,” Ahava Felicidad, president of the Tenants Organization of Montclair, told the outlet Montclair Local. “The Tenants Organization of Montclair Advocacy Group will not back down from doing what is right — especially during these unprecedented times. They — the uncaring and unconscionable — can’t take away what tenants vitally need.”
The property owners filed suit on April 15, just over a week after the township council adopted the rent control ordinance. The action follows a multiyear effort by tenant groups and other advocates who pushed for rent control amid what they say is the town’s increasing gentrification, seeking to protect lower-income residents and minorities.
But the property owners cried foul, noting that the council acted in the midst of the pandemic, after Gov. Phil Murphy had ordered residents to stay at home in order to slow the spread of COVID-19. The group and the Montclair Property Owners Association also allege the council gave little notice that the ordinance would be introduced for a first reading on March 10.
“The claims by tenant advocates that the ordinance was ‘studied, debated, negotiated, revised and ultimately produced by the township council unanimously last month is fair to property owners,’… and that property owners’ interests were ‘taken into account’ is a ridiculous contention,” said Ron Simoncini, executive director of the association and president of Axiom Communications. “The homeowners and property owners in Montclair are more than capable to speak for themselves and would have preferred to do their own advocacy rather than have the tenants declare themselves the proper party to represent the interests of owners — and the council should have known that.”

Rocker Steven Tyler refused to tell his bandmates in Aerosmith he had signed on as an American Idol judge – because he knew they’d give him grief.
The Love in an Elevator singer had just rejoined the band after a spell in rehab when it was announced he was joining Jennifer Lopez as the talent show’s new judge, and he admits the members of Aerosmith found out just like fans did – from the Internet.
In a pre-taped interview with former Idol judge Ellen DeGeneres, which aired on her U.S. show on Tuesday, Tyler says, “I didn’t tell them. A band is like a… It’s not women. It’s men. It’s a different world. We keep a lot to ourselves. We don’t often tell the truth.
“(When they found out) they were like an old girlfriend, right – ‘Why didn’t you tell me first?’ and that kind of c**p. But they’re very happy (now).”

Oasis Network is a privacy-first blockchain that emphasises personal data ownership and encourages users to participate in the creation of a “data economy” from which they can benefit by tokenising data.
This addresses an increasing problem in today’s centralised web space where large private companies like Google or Amazon collect user data –– without compensating individuals –– in order to identify and monetise emerging user trends. The dangers of web companies harnessing user data are not only limited to commercial activities with user data even employed by political parties in some parts of the world to influence voter behaviour.
Oasis Network tackles the unpermitted synthesis of web user data through its robust protection mechanisms. Oasis Network makes use of secure computing technology where data on its blockchain is encrypted within a hypothetical “black box” so the platform can provide its users with end-to-end confidentiality.
While Oasis Network has traditionally prioritised decentralised applications (dApps) that underline user privacy, it has also pivoted toward DeFi projects in more recent times; branding itself as a cheaper alternative to Ethereum. Oasis Network eclipses its larger counterpart in the number of transactions per second on its network (TPS) in addition to servicing its users with a much lower transaction or “gas” fees.
ROSE is the native crypto of Oasis Network and is used to power its expanding ecosystem of privacy-first and DeFi apps. Holding ROSE tokens grants users governance rights when it comes to making future changes about the architecture of the platform and enables them to claim rewards by lending out or “staking” their tokens.
You can choose to invest in Oasis Network for long periods of time, with an eye on allowing its value to potentially multiply, or you can opt to hold on to the coin for shorter spells of time. The investment strategy that will work best for you will boil down to your current financial position and the goals you set yourself.
Buying and holding on to Oasis Network for the long-term is the favoured approach among a majority of investors. The advantage of this strategy is that it requires a relatively low level of skill and effort, while still enabling you to potentially reap the fruits of your patience in the future as ROSE tokens could soar in value.
Additionally, holding onto your ROSE also presents you with the added opportunity of staking your tokens in return for lucrative annual interest rates that may serve as passive income.
The most secure method of storing your Oasis Network tokens is usually by taking self-custody of them. In other words, you are taking sole ownership of your ROSE and its safety, instead of placing your trust in the centralised web wallets offered by exchanges that are more prone to cyber-attacks.
You can take self-custody of your ROSE by using private hardware wallets like Trezor, BitBox, and Ledger or by employing software wallets such as the official OASIS wallet.
Some investors look to take advantage of fluctuations in the market price of ROSE by trading it on the open market. This is a strategy that can produce large returns in a short span of time but does not come without risk. Even the most experienced traders sometimes fail to predict market behaviour and see out losses because of the quantitative expertise required.
Most traders choose to stow away their ROSE in web wallets integrated with exchanges instead of private hardware or software wallets. This is because periodically transferring tokens between private wallets and exchanges can be a costly process due to the transaction fees.
It is important that you make an effort to learn about the fundamentals, innovations, and blueprints that are catapulting Oasis Network in your own time. That said, here are some factors we have pinpointed for you so we can help you in deciding whether or not you should buy Oasis Network today.
One factor contributing to the fast expansion of Oasis Network is that a number of cutting-edge innovators have been attracted to the project because it hosts popular programming languages like Java and Python. This not only adds to the utility of the privacy-first and DeFi dApps being created on Oasis Network, but also elevates the market value of its native token, ROSE.
At the same time, Oasis Network has attracted funding from some of the most prominent VCs in Silicon Valley. The investment amassed by the platform has allowed it to open a $200 million Oasis Ecosystem Fund with the purpose of supporting a cache of DeFi, NFT, and Metaverse projects. It is bold ventures like this that have offered investors a glimpse of the potential of Oasis Network and the trajectory of its long-term value.
Given Oasis Network’s strong emphasis on data privacy, it has also secured an intelligence-sharing partnership with Binance, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, in order to counter malware attacks. For many razor-eyed investors, this only further demonstrates the value of the robust data protection dApps found on Oasis Network alongside the array of DeFi, NFT, and Metaverse projects currently under development on its blockchain

KANCHANPUR, Jan 12: A total of 3,641 water birds of 58 species have been recorded in the Shuklaphanta National Park in Kanchanpur district.

"USS Seahawk" aka U38 is based on the big long range American Gato class boats of WW2, the Yanks wisely adopted German U boat tactics to strangle Japanese supply lines ultimately contributing to their surrender (A pair of sunshine bombs helped as well). So this is my tribute to those fine vessels and brave submariners. The boat has a fwd 35ml ballast tank and a 48ml aft tank , the rubber periscope stopper covers the keyhole between the two tank vents on the fin. The original boats had a range of 11,000 nautical miles whereas mine has a range of about 30 feet , despite this logistical drawback she looks superb in the water and performs brilliantly.

The Rumble in the Jungle
Muhammad Ali vs. George Foreman
The Rumble in the Jungle, the first and only fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, was not only the biggest fight of the 20th century but possibly the most memorably documented.
The fight between Ali and Foreman took place in Kinshasa, Zaire, on October 30, 1974, 48 years ago today. Foreman entered the fight as the world heavyweight champion, but Ali took the title back from him, to reign as heavyweight champion for the first time since he was exiled from the sport over his refusal to be inducted into the Army during the Vietnam War.
Ali was stripped of the heavyweight title in 1967 and did not fight for nearly four years, before returning in 1971 only to lose to heavyweight champion Joe Frazier. Frazier would lose his title to Foreman in 1973. After Ali won a rematch with Frazier, he challenged Foreman in 1974. When the two fought, Foreman was 25 and Ali was 32; Foreman had also defeated both Frazier and Ken Norton, the only two fighters who had beaten Ali up to that point.
In a series of events that very much anticipated Saudi Arabia’s modern-day forays into golf and pro wrestling, Zaire’s director Mobutu Sese Seko teamed up with Don King to persuade the two fighters to fight in his country. It took place on the 20th of May Stadium; if a stadium in a foreign country is named after a date, it’s usually the date of a coup.
The fight itself is legendary for many reasons. It had a months-long buildup, including both fighters training in Africa and even a massive music festival. The fight was delayed more than a month from its original September date to the end of October. And it was attended by around 60,000 people.
As for the fight itself, Ali introduced what’s known as the rope-a-dope strategy, in which Ali would rest and lean on the ropes and let Foreman punch him, before eventually going on offense. The strategy succeeded, as Foreman was quickly tired out. Ultimately, Ali knocked out Foreman at the end of the eighth round.
The Rumble in the Jungle was shown on TV regularly for much of the late 1970s and the early 1980s. But its legend was specially made by two different of the many Muhammad Ali movies.
The first was 1996’s When We Were Kings, by documentarian Leon Gast. It was mostly built from footage shot before, during, and after the fight, but it took more than two decades to reach the screen. But once it did, the film received massive acclaim and won that year’s Oscar for Best Documentary. Following Gast’s grateful acceptance speech that night, Ali and Foreman came to the stage together.
That award was presented by Will Smith (along with his Men in Black co-star Tommy Lee Jones.) It was uneventful, by since-established Smith Oscar appearance standards, but it led, five years later, to Smith playing The Greatest in Michael Mann’s 2001 film Ali.
That film’s entire third act consisted of the lead-up to the Rumble in the Jungle, leading into the fight itself, as Mann and his collaborators clearly saw that as a natural climactic point.
There’s never been a fight quite like the Rumble in the Jungle, and while it wasn’t Ali’s last great fight, it was certainly his most significant.

I did a brake flush yesterday, by myself for the second
time, on my 91 Civic LX (176k miles). I use the Mity-Vac
system ( a hand-held vacuum pump, connecting to a small
container to collect fluid, tubing, and adapters). It went
much more quickly. One concern I have is that, while the kit
has a well-fitting adapter for the front bleeder bolts, it
does not have a good one for the rears. The front setup
holds a vacuum really well as I bleed fluid. By contrast, on
the rears, massive air bubbling occurs, and I have to
continuously pump to maintain vacuum.
I think it's because the rear adapters fit so loosely that,
when I draw a vacuum with the pump, it sucks air in at the
I am thinking of buying a set of those one-way (that is,
check) bleeder valves that Pep Boys, for one, sells, to (1)
maybe get a better fit from adapter to valve; and (2)
minimize air introduction into the rear brake system.
Can anyone make other suggestions?
I want to stick with the Mity-Vac approach, as opposed to
getting a friend to push the brake pedal while I bleed at
each wheel. The Mity Vac system works really well on the
front. I am optimistic that some brainiac here can help me
getting the rears working better, or I'll stumble onto an
improvement for the rears.
A few comments for the archives:
-- I used a 32 oz ( = two pints) container of Valvoline
"exceeds DOT 3 and 4 requirements" brake fluid for the
flush. I had a second container ready, in case I found a lot
of dirt etc. in the fluid I bled. I did not. It seemed
pretty dirt free.
-- About 1.8 years and 22k miles have elapsed since the last
flush. The Owner's Manual recommended interval is 2 years
and 30k miles. I see a lot of folks here do a brake system
flush once a year. I was thinking of switching to a one-year
interval, but think I'll stick with two years using the more
expensive, supposedly more moisture resistant Valvoline
brake fluid. I live in a low humidity part of the country,
-- The brake pedal travel before and after the flush still
seems a little large. I'm thinking it's because in fact I am
not getting all the air out of the system, and if any part
is to blame, its the rear bleeder bolt/adapter set-up I'm
using. Or possibly it's the fact that yesterday just before
the flush I disassembled, cleaned, lubed, and inspected,
then re-installed the rear brake shoe assemblies, and so
they weren't quite seated right.
-- I do not see symptoms of a leaky master cylinder (e.g.
the brake pedal does not keep going down after I first hit
what seems "bottom").

We had dry weather with moderate temperatures this past weekend. It was just the right conditions to glass in the bow thruster tube on the Westsail. Floors and bulkheads in the forward section were waiting on this step as a bulkhead is to be located just inches forward of the thruster tube. Installing it wouldhave made the glassing in of the tube more difficult.
First step was to fill any significant gaps between the cutout and the tube. This was filled with a thick mish-mash of resin and milled fiberglass.
Next, glassing was done on the inside. Three layers of 17oz 45/45 roving knitted with CSM was tabbed between the tube and the hull.
Finally, on the outside, four layers of same kind of glass were overlaid around the ends of the tube, up against the hull. Each one feathering outward an inch greater than the previous, overall reaching out about 5 inches fromthe edge of the cutout.
The final step will be to cut the sides, fair it, and round over the inside edge of the tube. There may be one more layer of glass + viel that will go on just before the fairing is done. With the glassing on the inside done, however, foward bulkhead installation can resume.
Other things that happened this weekend:
- configured dust collector ducting into the garage.
- installed another work light inside the boat
- installed two coiled reel extention cords in the boat fore and aft.

On March 21, 1962, an intruder crept into the home of 15 year old Marlene Miller with the intentions of sexually assaulting her, as she was home alone that night. Marlene bravely fought her attacker, causing him to abandon his original plan, at which point, he stabbed her through the chest with her own sewing shears and dumped her body in the irrigation canal behind her family’s home. A suspect, whose car had been spotted near Marlene’s home at the time of the murder, was arrested the next day. His name is Booker T. Hillery. And after nearly 6 decades of fighting his case, he continues to remain an inmate with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, making him the longest serving inmate in California.

I have been pregnant three times, and as I sit here, listening to the rain and my hubby upstairs putting our two boys to bed after I put our little girl to bed, it’s amazing to me to realize that the pregnancy years are already behind us. It’s a time where it seems like it’s so long, and yet when you look back, that precious baby did come and very soon wasn’t a baby anymore. This is why we always tell our couples to document these life changes, because if we keep living in them, they’ll pass in the blink of an eye. We’re so excited that Jamie & Kyle here wanted to do just that and chose to hike along Afton State Park for their maternity portraits.
I watched a message this past week where the pastor talked about life is how we frame it, and we have to be intentional about what we frame. He had a beautiful picture of a sunset taken from an airplane window. In the bottom right corner were dark thunderous clouds, and the rest of the photo was beautiful oranges, yellows, and pinks of the sunsetting below. The idea is that, while we can’t change the scene of life, we can choose what we focus on. We can take our small frame and frame the dark thunderous clouds, making everything seem dark and discouraging, or we can move the frame within the same scene and focus on the breathtaking beauty of sunset. This is exactly what couples like Luke and Anna are doing. While COVID has made life in general challenging , especially when planning a wedding, they chose to focus on what is beautiful instead of the dark and gloomy corner.
Seriously you guys, we can’t even. We can’t even begin to tell you how unbelievably fortunate we feel to be able to not only hang out with awesome engaged couples on a regular basis, but to ultimately capture this unique time in the couple’s relationship – and to then capture their wedding day? Even better!
What’s better than being a couple’s wedding photographers? Getting to be the couple’s wedding day photographers and then also capturing their maternity portraits! It was beyond fun to capture Rachael and Andy’s wedding at Settlement Hill Farms in Hudson, Wisconsin, and getting to catch up with them again at Afton State Park last week was icing on the cake. I loved walking amongst the empty trees and capturing not only their love for each other, but also their love for their soon-to-be-here baby boy! Rachael is 33 weeks pregnant and beyond glowing!
Daniel and Anna met on Bumble three years ago. The attraction was mutual, and they decided to meet up with each other for their first date. They met each other at the show “Jesus Christ Superstar” — which they now admit was a rather unique first date in that they did not get to chat face-to-face like so many couples choose, but it was the perfect choice for them. They went out to chat afterwards after sitting shoulder-to-shoulder, enjoying the show and have been inseparable since. They love to spend their time traveling and being outdoors hiking, camping, and riding bikes, so it was only natural that we picked Afton State Park as the spot for their engagement portraits — and the fall colors did not disappoint!

Common Plumbing Mistakes
There are different kinds of plumbing systems that depend on the type of building or house. Larger buildings need professionals that will watch over the system. For homes, most people call someone they know or a company that sends someone over if they need help. The problem with plumbing is that a small mistake can cost you a lot. An ordinary person doesn’t know much about fixing these issues. Some of them that try to do it without any experience usually make a bigger mess.
Professionals have gone through training and know safety procedures that need to be applied sometimes. There are many plumbing Houston companies that you can find online when you have a problem. It is great if you check your system a couple of times a year so you can prevent any issues.
Fixing It in a Hurry
Even if you have a house full of guests or you need to be somewhere, rushing to fix a plumbing issue is a never smart idea. There are many things that can go wrong. When you are doing it yourself always do it correctly and make sure everything is in its place. When you hire someone there is no need to hurry them, if they are experienced the job will be done.
One of the most common mistakes is not turning the water off. In a few seconds, you can expect a bathroom floor full of water. Also, when tightening the pipes, it’s important to do it correctly because they can break while you are not home and make a big mess.
Using the Wrong Pipes
It is very common that a person uses some pipe that has the right shape and size for replacing the old one. There is more to it than just having the right size and shape. The second thing that is important is to have the right material. Proper sealing is essential when you are replacing them so the pipes will stay secure. It doesn’t mean they are fitted if they are holding together.
Copper pipe and galvanized metal pipe should never be connected. The problem here is that the materials will make a chemical reaction and corrosion will happen. After the corrosion, you can expect leaking pipes which again needs to be fixed and replaced. If you don’t have proper knowledge about the materials that you need to use, better call a company for help.
Drain cleaning is great if you do it properly but having a look at the bottle that you bought will tell you how strong are the chemicals used for cleaning. They need to be that strong so try not to overuse them. It is meant to remove clogs and destroy bad chemicals that can damage your pipe but the cleaner can also damage them if used a lot.
Overusing will eat out the pipe and it won’t matter if it’s PVC or metal. There are special tools that are used in some situations which a professional has. So if you have a problem with clogging it’s better to leave the cleaner and ask someone that has the right tools to help you out. It is very common that something makes a stoppage so don’t force it.
Get more information here: https://www.wikihow.com/Clean-a-Drain-Pipe
One thing is when you make a mistake that will cost you additional pipes and something else is to break laws related to plumbing. A homeowner isn’t obliged to read the law so most of us don’t know it. When you try to make adjustments yourself you may end up paying a big fee because of the law you broke. You will need a permit if the job you are doing is larger. There are areas when you will need a permit for toilet installation. It is very important to check the laws in your area. You probably wonder how they will notice that you made changes. If a company is doing the job for you, they will ask if every change is legal. When you are doing it yourself there is a low chance everything will work correctly. Maybe you won’t get enough water to other parts of your home because of the pressure or some small problem can occur that will make a lot of trouble.

Article originally published in the Philadelphia Business Journal on June 15, 2020.
Over the years, I have written many Business Journal articles about the damage caused by individuals who lack common sense and critical judgment. To these two traits, I now add a moral/ethical compass.
I watched the videos of George Floyd’s death while in police custody and police officers taking aggressive action against people protesting racial injustice. I watched police officers showing empathy and treating protestors with respect, and watched police officers salute Floyd’s coffin at his funeral. I have also watched the destruction caused by looters, in many cases destroying stores of black-owned merchants who provide food and services to the community and employ neighborhood residents.
Most all police officers have the highest regard for morality and ethics. Some do not. I look forward to the day when black parents do not have to give “the talk” to their children on how to remain safe during an encounter with a law enforcement officer. I look forward to the day when my black friends and colleagues will not feel some trepidation on occasion if they are stopped by a police officer for a traffic offense.
In no way am I diminishing the importance of morality, ethics and people’s attitudes in solving the issue of racial injustice by stating that in the corporate world, individuals also need to be guided by a moral/ethical compass. Those who lack common sense, critical judgment and a moral/ethical compass will eventually cause significant reputational harm to their organization and destroy shareholder value. I share the following three examples:
Nearly everyone is familiar with the scandal that rocked Wells Fargo bank in 2016. In a press release, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau stated, “Spurred by sales targets and compensation incentives, employees [within the Community Banking Division] boosted sales figures by covertly opening accounts and funding them by transferring funds from consumers’ authorized accounts without their knowledge or consent, often racking up fees or other charges.”
These illegal acts occurred to meet incentive targets for bonus payments.
Some employees who reported the illegal acts on the Wells Fargo ethics hotline to the board were terminated. A January 2017 CNN Money article stated, “Wells Fargo says it has found evidence that at least some of these whistleblower retaliation claims … may have merit.”
The reputational and financial cost to the bank in lost business and fines were in the tens of billions of dollars.
In September 2015, a scandal emerged involving Volkswagen, whose employees purposely installed software on their diesel cars that would give lower than actual readings in the emissions testing process. Not only did this action permit these cars to pass emission tests, the results were also used in VW’s strategy to market their “clean diesel” vehicle technology.
To state that VW’s actions were a gross violation of trust is an understatement. This was not an unintended action that can occasionally embarrass a company who has every intention to do the right thing. This was a deliberate action to violate the law and fraudulently sell cars to customers who thought they were buying vehicles that met mandated pollution standards. Where was their common sense, critical judgment and moral/ethical compass?
The cost of the scandal to Volkswagen was in the tens of billions of dollars, not including damage to its reputation.
On April 5, 2010, an explosion in the Upper Big Branch (UBB) mine of Performance Coal Co., a subsidiary of Massey Energy, resulted in the deaths of 29 miners.
In May 2011, an independent investigative report commissioned by the governor of West Virginia on the explosion showed that production of coal had a higher priority than the safety of the miners.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) imposed a fine of $10.8 million on Massey Energy. The MSHA report on the explosion stated, “Massey’s corporate culture was the root cause of the tragedy. MSHA issued Massey citations … for an unprecedented 21 flagrant violations.”
MSHA Assistant Secretary Joseph A. Main stated, “Every time Massey sent miners into the UBB Mine, Massey put those miners’ lives at risk. Massey management created a culture of fear and intimidation in their miners to hide their reckless practices. Today’s report brings to light the tragic consequences of a corporate culture that values production over people.”
Was the Massey board ever concerned about former CEO Don Blankenship’s poor history of compliance with federal mine safety standards and a corporate culture not focused on safety? The company had a history of safety issues. Why wasn’t Blankenship held accountable to a higher standard of performance by his board prior to the explosion? Where was the common sense, critical judgment and moral/ethical compass of Blankenship and the board of Massey Energy in protecting the company’s miners?
Employees want to work for companies who have a moral compass, are ethical and who do the right thing. These are the companies that customers want to buy from.

What is asparagus
Asparagus is a root crop that comes in three types: white, green and purple. Let's consider each of them in more detail.
It is considered an exotic plant. To acquire white shoots, asparagus should be grown in the absence of light using earthing. This method blocks the production of chlorophyll, as a result of which the vegetable will have a delicate taste.
This species of asparagus has long been considered the food of aristocrats. This plant is most popular in Germany. A young white vegetable appears on sale in spring. Learn more about growing and caring for white asparagus.
The most common type of asparagus, its homeland is the coast of the Caspian and Mediterranean seas. It is distinguished by a large number of vitamins in the composition, although for a long time this species was considered less useful than white.
This type of plant is very popular among the population of the UK, the crop is harvested from April to July.
This species is rare and original. It owes its peculiarity to France, where they invented the technology of its cultivation. In the process of growth, it is alternately in the light, then in the dark. As a result of this, pigmented substances are formed that give the asparagus a dark color and a bitter taste. During cooking, the violet color of the vegetable changes to green.
Thanks to the useful components in the composition of asparagus, it is successfully used in cooking, medicine, and also when losing weight.
Many compare the taste of asparagus with the taste of beans. Due to its rich original taste, asparagus is used in European and Asian cuisine. It is boiled, fried, baked and steamed.
Cooking is one of the easiest ways to cook this vegetable. But in this case, do not forget about the intricacies of cooking. The shoots need to be peeled and tied with thread. A small amount of water should be poured into the cooking container, put asparagus there and cook. Boil white asparagus over low heat for 10–20 minutes, green - 5–8 minutes. Thus, the stems are cooked, and the upper part of the plant is steamed, and the asparagus will be ready to eat.
Important! In order not to spoil the asparagus, after cooking it must immediately be put in a pan with ice water. This will help preserve the color, firmness and taste of the product. Asparagus combines well with seafood, eggs and bacon. In Italy, this plant is added to pizza and pasta, in France it is prepared as a side dish. Asparagus is an ingredient in many salads. A cream soup made from this vegetable is popular, in which you can also add wine, cream or greens.
Doctors advise including asparagus in the diet for diseases:
- of cardio-vascular system;
- gastrointestinal tract;
- nervous system;
- pathologies of the kidneys;
- impaired metabolism and hormonal background.
Did you know? Famous asparagus lovers were Julius Caesar, Louis XIV, Thomas Jefferson and Leo Tolstoy. The drugs are used as prophylaxis of the formation of stones in the bladder, gout, arrhythmia, tachycardia as part of complex therapy.
Use asparagus and for cosmetic purposes. Wipe the skin with a decoction to get rid of inflammation and acne. Fresh juice of the plant is applied to the face for nutrition and hydration, shoots are used to make moisturizing masks.
When losing weight
Due to the low calorie content of asparagus and a large amount of fiber in its composition, this plant helps fight hunger and is useful for people on a diet and overweight. Fiber in the intestines swells, accelerates peristalsis and prevents the occurrence of constipation.
Also, asparagus stimulates urination and causes the body to remove excess water. With an asparagus diet, swelling decreases, the body gets rid of excess salt, digestion, metabolism and absorption of trace elements return to normal.
Features of growing and caring for asparagus
For those who want to grow asparagus on their own, you need to clarify how it grows and what actions should be taken to get a healthy vegetable.
Asparagus is planted on neutral soil in a calm place, which is sufficiently illuminated by the sun and protected from the wind. Landing is made in late April - early May. Recesses should be prepared at a distance of 40 to 45 cm from each other, the size of the recesses should be 30 to 30 cm. A mixture of soil, compost and rotted manure should be placed there.
Annual plants are planted, because those that already have two or three years will take worse. When sown with seeds, asparagus is possible no earlier than three years later.
Caring for the plant will not cause great difficulties. It must be weeded manually, fertilized in early spring and after fruiting with chicken droppings or rotted manure. In autumn, you need to dig up the soil to remove the roots of perennial weeds.
If necessary, you need to do the garter shoots to the supports and watering in dry weather. In autumn, the stems that turn yellow must be cut at a height of 2.5 to 5 meters above the ground.
Features of harvesting and storage of crops
Asparagus shoots are collected from the third year. It is necessary to cut off shoots that have reached a length of 15–20 centimeters within 4–6 weeks after fruiting. Shoots from older plants need to be cut off within 8-10 weeks.
Important! Harvesting asparagus is best done using a special knife for asparagus, it is easy for them to cut the plant at a depth of 2 centimeters underground. Shoots, ideally, should be consumed immediately after harvesting, since storage negatively affects the taste and useful properties of the vegetable.
In the absence of such an opportunity, follow the simple rules of storing the vegetable:
- The shoots should be wrapped in a damp cloth and put in the refrigerator. This simple way will help to store asparagus for up to 2 days.
- It is necessary to update the slices of asparagus and put them in jars of clean water, which should be 2-3 cm above the base of the shoots. Cover the jar with foil and place in the refrigerator. Therefore, asparagus can be stored for up to 7 days.
- Wash the shoots, renew the cuts and pour boiling water over the plant, after 3 minutes throw them in a colander and pour cold water on them. After which it is necessary to drain the water, place the shoots in freezer bags and put them in the freezer. This will keep the vegetable healthy for a long time.
- Canning. This allows for long-term storage of asparagus, however, using this method, you should be aware that with such storage the pickled vegetable loses a significant part of its beneficial properties and its original taste.

Asparagus is appreciated for its taste and a large number of useful properties, thanks to which it is used in cooking and medicine. Knowing the features of asparagus care, you can independently grow this vegetable in your garden and add it to the diet without extra costs.

Dear Rogues and Readers,
Despite the background of the picture, I have not been hanging out at the pool
since my last blog. I've been working hard. I've also produced two more audiobooks. Just sayin'. You may not recognize all these books because I've spent most of my time working on books by my evil twin, Marie Booth.
She takes over my fingers and forces me to write very spicy contemporary and paranormal romance books and short stories. I swear, No really.
But I haven't been blogging, and I intend to begin again. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your taste in fuzzy creatures, you may get a lot of cat pictures, or an occasional rant on the pitfalls of facebook ads, but mostly I'll talk about my stories,
maybe even giving you some fresh content or special scoops.
If you're interested in the books in the picture:
A Stubborn Heart and A Healing Heart are written in the Rogues Shifter World and can be found at all vendors under Gayle Parness.
Click here for more information.
Stroke and Simmer are hot contemporary books set in San Francisco.
The Worst Ever Anthologies are full of funny and romantic short stories by a group of wonderful authors. My stories are Worst Holiday:"Ringing in the Reefer"
and in Worst Valentine's: "Love Ya Baby"
That's it for today. Back to writing.
Thanks for reading :0)

There is a quote going around that goes something like this, “I’ve never met a successful person who leaves their shopping cart in the middle of the parking lot.”
It troubles me. The quote, that is. I mean, when people leave their shopping cart out, it bugs me too, but not as much as this quote.
For one thing, it’s ridiculous. I either know or know of many people who, by most standards, are successful and they would absolutely not put a shopping cart away. That is, if they found themselves in the unfortunate situation of actually having to push a shopping cart themselves. If you haven’t learned this yet, I’m sorry to report that there are a lot of successful people out there who are jerks.
But there’s a deeper problem here. The statement is intentionally ambiguous, and its corollary is that unsuccessful people are lazy. That’s why they’re unsuccessful. They are the scourge of successful people because they do insolent things like not put their shopping carts away.
Now, someone might say that I am missing the deeper meaning of the statement, which is that if you are considerate and earnest then you are already successful. Success comes from polite behavior not materialism or wealth. Although I do believe that success has nothing to do with personal wealth, that is not what that statement implies.
If the intent was to refer to a more spiritual meaning of success, than it would not be so cryptic. The person who made the statement would have either been clear about what he or she meant or not said it at all.
It’s a dog whistle, pure and simple. It is disguised as a Delphic statement playfully revealing one of life’s many secrets, but in reality it perpetuates the fantasy that we all operate on an even playing field, and it exploits the frustrations of hard-working people. So, when we see that single parent trying to wrangle three screaming kids and get her baby home before his bargain brand diaper finally bursts, we can confidently shake our heads in disgust when she desperately leaves a shopping cart in the space next to her. Her plight is her own damn fault.
Look, I don’t like it when people don’t put their shopping carts in the corral. I put them away without even thinking about it. Will I ever be in a situation when I’m so desperate that I shove the cart onto a median? I hope not. But I can’t say for sure.
But this post isn’t really about putting shopping carts away. It’s about statements that allow people to be cruel without repercussions. It’s like throwing a stone and then hiding. Or getting caught throwing a stone and then claiming you didn’t mean to hit anyone with it.
Don’t buy into statements like these. Don’t promote them. And certainly don’t speak them. Consider the corollaries and implications. Don’t feed hatred or intolerance. Starve them.

Papaya may bring images to mind of swaying palm trees and sparkling blue water lapping a faraway South Pacific beach. In fact, the pear-shaped fruit is grown here in Florida, and is at its peak during the spring months.
Papaya's myriad uses make it a cooking must-have. Its flesh and leaves contain an enzyme called papain that's a natural meat tenderizer; its seeds are edible and add an interesting peppery flavor to salads and desserts. Papaya in its unripe (green) state is a staple in Thai cooking, where it's used to make a refreshing salad.
Plus, after you slice it and half and scoop out the seeds, papaya can double as a bowl for fruit salad or frozen yogurt. To top it all off, this low-cal tropical gem is loaded with vitamin C and is a good source of potassium and folate.
Look for fruit that are mostly yellow, they'll ripen completely in a few days on the kitchen counter. You can tell papaya is ready to eat when it's very aromatic and yields to pressure. Softening at the stem end is the first sign of decay, don't let your fruit reach that point.
If you want to use it for savory dishes, you should look for very firm, green papayas. As they ripen they turn a vivid shade of yellow. When you slice into the fruit, scoop out the seeds and save them for later use. The flesh should be pink or orange. To enhance the flavor of a marinade, dry the seeds and grind them up before whisking them in with the other ingredients.

The Swedes are throwing a hissy fit because the Israeli Ambassador, visiting a museum exhibit associated with a Swedish government-sponsored conference on genocide, took offense at a display of offensive “art” and literally pulled out its plug.
(The Israeli government says that the Swedes promised not to link the conference to the Arab-Israeli conflict — which, BTW, Reuters mislabels “the Middle East conflict.”)
Meanwhile, the “artist” — a lefty Israeli “peace” activist — said, essentially: Hey, what are you so upset about? It’s just an exhibit, we were trying to raise consciousness about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, what about freedom of expression, etc., etc. And a representative of the Swedish government expressed outrage that the ambassador had the temerity to damage sacred art, etc., etc.
To the “artist” and the Swedish government, I say: fuck you. Yeah, the Israeli ambassador lost it, but you provoked him. He took the bait and now you get to tut-tut about his emotional reaction and make sanctimonious statements about “art.”
The message I get is that the Swedish government cares more about art exhibits and moral posturing than it does about the lives of Jews. Would the Swedish government tolerate, at an official conference, an “art exhibit” portraying Hitler sailing in a lake of Jewish blood? More to the point, would the Swedes tolerate an exhibit showing the Jewish mass murderer Baruch Goldstein sailing in a lake of Arab blood? Would they tolerate an exhibit that could be interpreted as insulting to Muslims or Arabs? To ask this question is to answer it.
Maybe I, like the Israeli ambassador, am overreacting, but my impression is that the ambassador isn’t the problem here.
UPDATE: I am happy to learn that the Israeli government is supporting the ambassador:
Sharon said he called Mazel Saturday night and thanked him for his stand against rising anti-Semitism. “We are witnessing a rise in anti-Semitism, and will increase our efforts to fight the phenomenon,” he reportedly told the cabinet.
Good. Let the bastards worry about offending Jews, for a change.
UPDATE 2: Bjørn Stærk has a contrary view.


Ralph Fridgen's alma mater fired him after 10 seasons in which his record was 75-50. That .600 winning percentage put Fridgen in an exclusive club of Maryland coaches – Bear Bryant, Jim Tatum, Jerry Claiborne and Bobby Ross.
Fridgen went 2-10 in 2009 to apparently seal his fate, even after a 9-4 record in 2010.
Maryland hired away Edsall from Connecticut, but the Terrapins are 6-16 under Edsall, including a 3-11 ACC record. The Terrapins have been beset by player defections, injuries and waning fan attendance.
Now Maryland, 4-6, closes the season at home against Florida State, then at North Carolina. A 4-8 season would foster little optimism about Maryland's future with Edsall.

Protective immunity towards intracellular pathogens
Immunity towards intracellular pathogens is often dependent upon the generation of CD8(+) memory T cells, which provide long-lasting and effective protection. Over the past few years, we have gained novel insights into the heterogeneity of CD8(+) T cells, time points of lineage commitment, and lineage relationships between subpopulations. These studies suggest that memory CD8(+) T cells progressively develop from naïve cells early during the immune response and further differentiate unidirectionally into short-living effector cells. We have also learnt that different memory subsets play distinct roles in conferring protection: whereas effector memory T cells are able to provide immediate protection but are not necessarily maintained long-term, central memory T cells have the potential for constant self-renewal. Thus, neither subset really fulfills all criteria of memory. As protective effector memory cells can develop from central memory cells, vaccination strategies should focus on induction of a balanced ratio of the two memory T cell subsets.

Seelbach owner to be acquired for $307M
- Jeff Clabaugh
- Special to Business First
Interstate Hotels & Resorts will be acquired by investors in a $307 million, all cash deal, a 77 percent premium over Arlington-based Interstate Hotels' market value at close of Thursday trading.
Hotel Acquisition Co., a joint venture between Thayer Hotel Investors and Shanghai Jim Jiang International Hotels Co., will acquire all outstanding common stock of Interstate Hotels for $2.25 per share.
Interstate stock nearly doubled in Friday trading to $2.20.
Thayer Lodging Group is based in Annapolis,Md. Jin Jiang Hotels is a subsidiary of Jin Jiang International Holdings Company Ltd., China's largest hotel group.
The merger still requires shareholder approval. If approved, it is expected to close in the first quarter of 2010, Interstate Hotels said.
"Our priority, as always, is to maximize shareholder value," said Thomas Hewitt, Interstate's chief executive. "This is a very compelling offer at a significant premium. The hotel industry remains in deep recession, and we believe this transaction offers the highest and best value to our shareholders."
Interstate Hotels (NYSE: IHR) lost $10.3 million last quarter as revenue fell 15 percent to $162.9 million. It blamed the losses on the challenging industry climate.
Interstate Hotels & Resorts owns or manages more than 200 hotel properties, including the Seelbach Hilton Hotel in Louisville and the Hilton Lexington Downtown.

Music Fucking Rocks
So I finally got to see Choad Machine Experience on Saturday. If you don't know who they are, well you should probably fucking kill yourself because they're the best rock band ever. After their drummer, Corey Stein, left and started his own band (named Corpse Machine experience, how original) they just didn’t sound the same. Luckily Stein’s band fucking sucked and they reunited. This was the first concert I’ve been able to get to since they’re back together, and I have to say that they sound as good, if not better than three years ago.
The first set fucking rocked. They played a lot of their old tunes like Mommy Make Me Holler, but jammed out on them. Tanner is a fucking badass on the organ. He has this one lick in every song that he plays with his knuckles. I’ve been trying to figure it out, but it’s insane. I think most of the notes are on the black keys.
The second set was even better, though. They mixed it up with some of their newer stuff (the stuff they played just before they broke up), a few brand new songs that I hadn’t heard before, and some pretty sweet covers. Let me tell ya’, if you thought Mmm Bop was good when Hanson played it, this version would fucking blow your mind. There is absolutely nothing as awesome as extremely talented musicians playing splendid music.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, Bollywood’s most loved pair, are slated to tie the knot today, April 14. Needless to say, all eyes are on this huge fat wedding, with photographers and reporters stationed at the wedding venue to provide fans with the latest inside information. Ranbir-Alia will marry in a private ceremony; in fact, the pre-wedding festivities have been strictly guarded and kept out of the public eye. According to recent sources, the wedding is being kept private since the telecast rights have been sold to an OTT powerhouse.
According to Bollywoodlife, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s wedding would be a webcast on an OTT platform in the coming months. Not only that but the couple was paid a substantial sum for selling their wedding rights to an OTT platform. According to reports, the rights were sold for a hefty sum of Rs 90-110 crores.
There has, however, been no formal confirmation of this. The Rockstar actor’s net worth is estimated to be over Rs 330 crores, according to the report. He earns more than Rs 50 crore for every project. Whereas Alia earns between Rs 5-8 crores per film and roughly Rs 1-2 crore from brand endorsements. The couple’s total net worth is estimated to be in the region of Rs. 500 crores.
Notably, last night post-Mehendi function, while confirming the wedding, Neetu Kapoor told the paparazzi, “Mai kya bolu uske baare mein. She (Alia) is the best.” Her daughter Riddhima added, “Bahot cute hai yaar, bahot Sweet, cute, doll jaisi hai (She is very sweet and cute, like a doll).” Later, she confirmed the wedding saying, “haan wedding Kal hai Vastu mai.”

The masterplan contains a vision and practical recommendations aimed at guaranteeing the safety of Jakarta’s four to five million inhabitants in 2025.
Jakarta is facing significant challenges. The rate of land subsidence is some 150mm per year, due to groundwater extractions, and an increasingly larger section of the city is below sea level. Heavy rainfall combined with years of overdue maintenance on flood defences increases the possibility of flooding. Increasing urbanisation is putting enormous pressure on the drinking water supply.
Dutch infrastructure and the environment minister Schultz van Haegen presented the Dutch-Indonesian national capital integrated coastal development (NCICD) flood protection plan. She announced the plan together with the Indonesian minister of public works, Djoko Kirmanto.
“In Jakarta, the speed at which spatial planning and water management must be adapted to the growing population and economy is unparalleled,” said Schultz. “I am proud to present this plan to you and I have every faith in the cooperation between our two countries.”
In 2008, Indonesia called on the Netherlands to aid in protecting Jakarta from high water. Indonesian and Dutch experts from the public and private sectors and research institutions worked on the NCICD for six years. “This is a highly ambitious plan,” said Schultz. “A plan with imaginative solutions like an outer sea wall in the form of Indonesia’s national symbol, the Great Garuda. The master plan is on schedule, in line with the desire of the Indonesian government to speed up the project.”
