Business signs are extremely important and efficient marketing elements to establish your brand. A well-designed business sign should accurately display vital messages and information aligned with your business goals and campaigns. Nonetheless, making mistakes in its design can, on the contrary, project a poor image of your business, scaring even the most faithful customers.
BSC signs have been providing the best signage services to Colorado business owners for decades, and we have seen many companies making the same mistakes on their signage design. Therefore, today we would like to share the 5 most common sign design mistakes business owners make, and easy tips to avoid them.
Sign design failures
Being creative is great when designing your business brand, logo or signage. However, you have to keep in mind that in order for your commercial sign to be effective it has to be clear and striking. This means potential customers must be able to understand it and like it, in a blink of an eye.
Try not to overuse graphics and art. Even though the art can be extremely eye-catching, it might steal peoples attention, failing to project the desired message. You can use your logo in the sign, but avoid making it the main element.
The font type is extremely important. Try to stick with traditional and easy fonts. Many designers try to use fonts that can be related to the brand or product advertised, however, this could make it unreadable. Customers have only seconds to see, read and understand your message.
Selecting the colors in your signage is extremely important. It is common to see signs with colors that make the message unreadable. Try to use contrasting colors between the background and the text on your sign.
With so many important tasks and steps to take care of when establishing a new business, it is quite common for business owners to forget about considering the best materials to use on their signage. Consider where you plan to place your signage. Is it going to be used for internal or exterior purposes? What kind of elements will it be facing, like heat, extreme cold, or weather elements like rain or snow?
It is frustrating when we see great commercial signs but visually blocked by tree branches or other buildings. Remember that owning the best business sign in the world is useless if no one can see it. A professional sign company will check the surrounding area around your business in order to select the best place to install it. At the same time, they will be able to decide the best materials, shape, size, and steps presented above, to make an accurate and reliable decision.
Going over these steps will help on your signage design. However, it is best to put your project in the hands of professionals. Contact BSC Signs today, and get the best commercial signage solutions.

Landscaping is a vital aspect of every home yard. Trees not only provide the much-needed shade but are also aesthetically appealing. A good tree, to a great extent, creates a stunningly beautiful look for your lawn.
Trees are either evergreen or deciduous. Evergreen trees retain their greenery all through the year. Deciduous trees lose their leaves in the fall and remain bare through winter. When it comes to trees, a poor choice will have you regretting for a lifetime. Below are the best trees to plant near your house.
1. Star Magnolia
Commonly known as Magnolia stellate, this tree is a perfect choice, particularly for smaller backyards. The star magnolia is deciduous, providing you with breathtaking flowers and leaves. Branching is similarly impressive, especially during the fall.
The star magnolia is among the most flexible trees in terms of growth and adaptability. This tree grows in any soil type. It also thrives under either full sun or partial shade.
It grows up to 10ft tall and 12ft wide, with its hardiness zones being 5 through 9. Star Magnolia branches are securely strong, and it carries zero risks of root damage.
Also referred to as Amelanchier, it’s the ideal tree for privacy, particularly for your bedroom window. If you prefer waking up to the site of colorful leaves, then go for this tree.
The Amelanchier is a vase-shaped tree, that’s 6 to 20 ft tall and hardiness zone 2-9. It’s a deciduous species bearing a breathtaking yellowish-pink foliage during the fall. Its early-stage white flowers bloom into edible dark fruits in June.
Moreover, Amelanchier is quite economical in thriving space. Thus, it leaves with plenty of room for light and planting other trees.
3. Tulip Tree
The tulip tree doubles as an ornamental tree and shade provider. The brilliant yellow tulip flowers with orange centers are a fantastic site. These tulip flowers bloom during spring, and yellow flowers take over in the fall.
Tulip trees are fast-growing hardwoods, which tower to about 25 ft. Unlike other species, these trees can grow more than two feet a year. Tulip trees thrive in zones 4 through 9 and easily adapt to varying climatic conditions.
4. Pyrus Calleyrana
For a standard privacy garden tree, the Pyrus calleyrana is among the most viable options. Also known as the Callery pear, this teardrop-shaped tree is natively from Vietnam and China.
This tree boasts of a rapid growth rate and rises to between 16 to 26 ft. Its outstanding conical crown bears a dark green shimmer in the summer. As autumn progresses, the leaves blossom into bright colors, ranging from yellow to orange.
Pyrus calleyrana is remarkably resistant to wind and storm damage. It requires minimal maintenance and is tolerant of air pollution. With its quick growth rate, tree limb cutting is necessary to ensure the utmost safety.
5. Dogwood Tree
The dogwood tree, embellished with red and pink foliage, provides unmatched beauty all year. Its most unique attraction feature is the pink and white … Read More..

Words: Steve Brown
Ryan Russell believes the NFL is ready to support an openly LGBTQ athlete.
The American footballer has played in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and earlier this year, he came out as bisexual in a moving piece in ESPN as well as revealing his boyfriend on Instagram.
Currently, there are no currently out gay or bisexual players in the NFL, making him the first ever playing player.
And while speaking to CNN, Russell admitted he thinks the NFL is ready to support an LGBTQ player.
He said: “If you’re focused on hiding a part of yourself or…anything other than your sport, your opponent and your craft, then you won’t be as effective. You’ll be a step behind, you’ll be a step slower.
“Once I finally felt ready to come out, I just felt a weight lifted. I became a better brother. I became a better son. I believe I’ll be a better teammate.
“I believe the NFL is in a great position to be the hero in this story.
“I believe the NFL is ready to support an openly LGBT athlete.
“I know they have the resources to control any time of media hailstorm or distraction.
“You can’t support an openly LGBTQ player if there are no openly LGBTQ players. … Someone has to take that first step.”

Tavern where Founding Fathers dined and discussed independence forced to shutter with government shutdown
- City Tavern in Philadelphia has had to close with the government shutdown because the building is owned by the parks service, and is inside Independence National Historical Park
- The original City Tavern was a favorite among the Founding Fathers and called the 'most genteel tavern in America' by John Adams
- A rep for the restaurant says it has had to cancel more than 300 reservations and could lose hundreds of thousands of dollars if the shutdown continues into the weekend
When the government shut down Tuesday after Congress couldn't pass a federal budget, many brought up the question of how our founding fathers would have reacted to such a stalemate.
One thing's for sure - they wouldn't have wanted City Tavern to close.
Called the 'most genteel tavern in America' by future-President John Adams, the original City Tavern was a popular hangout for the Founding Fathers.
Sorry we're closed: City Tavern in Philadelphia has been forced to close and cancel more than 300 reservations with the government shutdown
Revolutionary restaurant: The original City Tavern was built in 1773 and became a popular haunt for America's Founding Fathers who dined here often when attending the First and Second Continental Congresses as well as the Constitutional Convention
The original tavern was demolished in 1854, but rebuilt in the 1970s for the Bicentennial and operates as a restaurant serving Colonial-era fare in the Old City section of Philadelphia.
While the tavern is privately-operated, it has had to temporarily close because the building is owned by the U.S. National Parks Service and the restaurant is inside Independence National Historical Park.
Because the national park has had to close, the restaurant was informed that it couldn't stay open.
This came as a surprise to those at the restaurant, as City Tavern was allowed to stay open the last time there was a government shutdown, 17 years ago.
Shuttered: City Tavern is located in Independence National Historical Park, left, and the building is owned by the parks service, which is why it has had to close. Chef Walter Staib with a Ben Franklin impersonator outside City Tavern
Old and new: The original City Tavern was demolished in 1854, but it was rebuilt in the 1970s for the Bicentennial and now operates as a restaurant serving Colonial-era fare in Philadelphia's Old City sector
Regulars: The Founding Fathers dined every Saturday at the City Tavern while convening for the Second Continental Congress
Off-limits: Independence National Hall, left, and the Liberty Bell, right, are also inside the national park, and are not open to tourists visiting the city
'We were somewhat shocked when we received the news today that we would have to close at 3pm,' Molly Yun, City Tavern's public relations director told NBC Philadelphia yesterday. 'Unfortunately, we're going to have to stay closed until the government reopens and our hands are tied.'
The restaurant has had to cancel more than 300 reservations for the next four days, including a party of 200, which has made many patrons 'angry' and 'aggravated'.
The restaurant estimates that they could lose hundreds of thousands of dollars if the shutdown continues into the weekend, and it may lead their staff to look for other work.

Bollywood actor Nora Fatehi was questioned for six hours by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Delhi Police on Friday in connection with the Rs 200-crore extortion case, involving conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar
Bollywood actor Nora Fatehi was questioned for six hours by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Delhi Police on Friday in connection with the Rs 200-crore extortion case, involving conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar.
According to EOW officials, Fatehi appeared before it around 12 in the afternoon. She was questioned till 6 pm. The official said that Fatehi can be summoned for questioning once again if it feels that her statement is required.
Earlier, the EOW had also summoned Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez for questioning on September 12. Fernandez had earlier skipped the EOW summons, a source said.
The case pertains to extortion of over Rs 215 crore from Aditi Singh and Shivender Singh, former promoters of pharmaceutical giant Ranbaxy. The ED registered a case of money laundering on the basis of the EOW FIR. The ED had also questioned Fatehi and Fernandez on several occasions.
Earlier this month, the ED named Fernandez in its supplementary charge sheet as an accused. The ED in its charge sheet had alleged that Fernandez, a Sri Lankan national, continued her relationship with Chandrasekhar despite knowing about his criminal past.
“She (Fernandez) consciously chose to overlook Chandrashekhar’s criminal past and continued to indulge in financial transactions with him. Not only Fernandes but even her family members and friends benefitted from their relationship financially,” the ED alleged in its charge sheet.
The ED also claimed that the money laundering probe so far has revealed that the actor is directly or indirectly involved in the proceeds of crime.
The ED alleged that she acquired, possessed, and used part proceeds of crime — valuable gifts for herself and her family members in India and abroad, and therefore, she committed an offence of money laundering under Section 3 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) 2002, which is punishable under Section 4 of PMLA.
The ED had earlier attached assets worth Rs 7 crore of Fernandez in connection with its money laundering probe on April 30 this year.

We had the opportunity to visit the Urban Farming project in UF de Schilde in The Hague, to satisfy our curiosity for this type of solution to long supply chains and energy waste in farming. The site is situated on top of an old telecom building, which was selected for the weight the floors could carry.
This Urban Farming project is part of an international rooftop farming enterprise funded from Switzerland. This should ring some “that’s wierd” bells right off the bat. Our question to be answered by our visit was “Is this really a project aimed to utilize unused resources (roofs) to bring cheaper and healthier and less climate impacitng food to local communities?” and also “Does this project teach us what we need to replicate it fast?”
The site cost about 2.6 million to build. It was initiated from Swiss investors, who found local companies (holland has an enormous amount of greenhouse know how) to design and build the system. Paul, below, who made a aquaphonic system (combining fish farming and aquaculture) himself, guided us through the site, which now consists of two floors, one with fish tanks, one with greenhouses.
The site is still starting up. The guided tour costs 19,- Euro. As we would learn the site is there to make money, the produce is targeted at restaurants and priced above regular organic food.
A lot of plastic being used. No holds barred on doing it the ‘best practice’ industrial way. Below we check out the fish tanks, holding Tilapia. the fish is bought from outside and grown in the tanks. The green food distributers (automated) contain fish food combining meat, fish and vegetables. The idea is to cycle the water from fish to plants and back, although we don’t know if there is any benfit from the plant root water getting to the fish.
The plant water also sees a lot of evaporation, so loss, and becomes more saline.
Above you see a tank with black plastic pellets, that function as a home to two types of bacteria that turn the Tilapia excrement into something nutritious for the plants (they need phosphates and nitrates).
Looking inside the fish tanks..
Tilapia in two stages.. We assume they don’t get bored. There are plans to grow musquito’s to feed the Tilapia. This is easier in an open pond aquaculture, but as you will see this setup is not designed that way.
The blue box below contains a water cascated that removes excess CO2 from the water, and plans are to use this as fertilizer in the greenhouse.
One floor up is a different world. The heavy construction (because of wind forces no doubt) holds several spaces, one in which tomatos are grown. We where not allowed into any growing space for risk of contamination, as we where asked not to touch the fishtank water. Is that risk real?
Some freely growing pickle plants create a nice backdrop. The intent is to rent out the floor for events. This is a key part of the UF projects, “To tell a story” and to maximize the urban farming gimmick it seems. Of course it is not a gimmick.
Above the tomato’s being grown. Several crops come out of the greenhouse, pickes, bitter cucumber, cherry tomatos. All organic, mostly because the fish won’t tolerate toxins and have to be human edible. They are like tasters in a French court, not a bad system..
The tomatos root in a plastic trough which has three layers through which the water trickles down. This helps airrate it which is good for the plants. Pests are controlled by little cars with insect ‘seeds’ that will eat them. This growing method saves water, insecticides and produces higher priced vegetables.
Other crops are started in a separate greenhouse. Its business as usual, what happens in any agricultural professional setup.
The tour ends with a view into the above greenhouse. We where asked our thoughts about it. We did not feel that the setup or project was what we need because it did not cut any corners and simply threw millions at the challenge of rooftop farming. With thousands of acres of greenhouse just around the corner and the option for electric logistics this project can never compete. Also the so called Westland greenhouses can decide to grow Tilapia under their greenhouses..
Amongst the other visitors was a spanish plastic manufacturer and a South African that knew about this from a friend who build a similar system from trash lying around..
Like we have seen with Uber, there is a new taste of big money to own every activity. We are told it is a bottom up organic thing but it isn’t. It is millions put into the taxi market, data sold off, laws broken. The financial world can always do this with ideas that are to be implented at a small scale and locally, and thus always shape thinking of the wider public about these approaches. Local companies see an opportunity to make money and protect their business.
This is not the way urban farming is done in the wider world (it for one does not seek to supply at lower cost to the local community), so we will look more at those projects. That said this project will have to meet it’s financial constrains so hopefully this will make a living lab for moving to high cost industrial approaches to greenhouse farming to more cost effective methods applicable to all..

text: The Financial Times recently looked at how many of the ideas employed in the design of Masdar City, just outside of Abu Dhabi, are being looked to for a model of energy efficiency and urban planning ideals for new developments around the region. However, there are issues with the replication of many of these ideas – such as public transportation, street based design to encourage walking and increasing building and population density. The article notes the public transportation challenges faced in many cities around the region, which are primarily designed around the use of the car. Dubai, which has a metro, is one example of both the successes and challenges to such design. The primary metro line has proved to be a success both in terms of ridership and serving the majority of the spread out city. But the city has also built a monorail on the Palm islands, which was designed with only two stops and does not serve the majority of people who live on those islands or connect to the larger metro system as a whole. The challenge to making the region more energy efficient and having better urban planning is a challenge that must be addressed city by city – no one solution will work for all.

A list of the best MMORPG ever created would certainly be a daunting task. There have been many greats over the course of the gaming ages that have yet to be closely examined. Some of the earlier titles made this list because they were great both in terms of the amount of information given to the player and the quality of gameplay. Others were just simply ground breaking. The games that are mentioned here are all considered ground breaking in their own way.
The MMORPG that posted the highest bows were Fly For Fun. This Nintendo DS game offered a massive 3D gaming experience. Players used the stylus to steer their plane around obstacles and fire varieties. Fly for Fun received high marks for its playability. Other factors that gave the game high marks were its colorful backgrounds and the ability to earn bonuses. The game received much of the thumbs up when compared to similar games in the Nintendo DS.
An MMORPG that was part of the Ubisoft series gained much of its recognition. The player can assume the role of characters from the popular Prince of Persia Games. The player still has to use the stylus to Commands the action of the character. Therunner, created by the Ubisoft Exchange, captured much of the imagination of the Armis players who never imagined that the sky would be their onlyway to victory in the virtual world. The game hence incorporated live action actors to give life to the stimuli which otherwise would have been lifeless. This has made The Runner one of the most well liked MMORPG ever. www.ufabe.com
Massive Multiplayer online role playing games or MMORPGs is a category of computer games where players from across the world can get together on a single server and engage in adventures. The player can be any age from 8 to 65 and they can play as a single person or multiple people. MMORPGs require intensive computer power and server hardware. Without server software like Ventrilo Ventrilo is one of the best free MMORPG software that you can download to your system and gain the advantage of playing with other people from across the world. Downloading MMORPG based software is the best way to enjoy the fun of these games without the hefty price tag.*
A popular theme that keeps coming back every year is always the idea of world domination. The player can join an online game called World of WarCraft and fulfill their wild ambition to rule the entire virtual world with an army of super soldiers. MMORPGs have been the realm of global alliances and one world has been dominating the others with their might.
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning is the newest MMORPG to make a dent in the market. Released in the second quarter of 2008, this game has already captured the attention of gamers teen and adults alike. The game is almost a self contained series of movies with no outlet as well. You can watch the clips of the popular first person shooter game if you like but that is about the only way you can really know how good this game is. Released in September of 2008, this game is one of the most anticipated of the year and is sure to be a serious contender for the title of MMORPG of the year.
Diablo 3 came out with its third installment in the long running Diablo series. With almost every character having been introduced in the past, there is enough new blood to make die-hard fans go back to the game’s predecessor. The game is in the same format with its predictability that the previous games had. The game is no longer an auto player but an ever changing world that is turn based. The game has however been improved in its graphic aspects and is said to be the best Blu-Ray upscale to date. Players of the game are said to be able to go past level 60 once they acquire certain items. There are also items that can make your character stronger. The game is also said to introduce new item drops as well.
New patches are also released periodically. The game is updated so frequently that it is bound to become farmland for any game with its constant updates. Diablo III is also available on other platforms. It has already been released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Diablo III is a game in search of a good role model.Diablo has been a role model for many other games that were released, which explains its immense popularity.

Abstract : Supramolecular photochemistry provides experimental tools and mechanistic concepts pertinent to the examination of the fate of Air Force chemicals and how they may be photochemically transformed into environmentally benign substances. This benefication process of converting AF chemicals to environmentally benign materials is termed mineralization. A 'biomimetic' strategy is adopted for which the laboratory model of benefication is based on processes occurring in nature. This biomimetic model provided us with the strategy of employing supramolecular photosystems to achieve the mineralization of AF chemicals via photosensitized degradation.

Anti-coal activists announce major protests for 2017
Climate activist group Ende Gelände has announced it will hold at least two major protests against coal-fired power production in Germany this year. The activists said they would “block the production of coal in the Rhineland lignite fields - as long as possible” in a first protest scheduled for late August, with further action planned in November to coincide with the UN Climate Conference in Bonn. “We will show that opposition to coal is broad and diverse,” Ende Gelände said in the press release, adding that there was “little time left” if the international community wants to limit global warming in line with the Paris Agreement targets.

When temperatures climb into the high 90s and 100s like they did Tuesday, hospitals typically see an increase in heat-related illnesses. Our calls to area hospitals Tuesday netted few such cases. Craven County had one; that makes five there since Friday. Edgecombe County saw two heat related cases as did Wayne County. As of late afternoon, hospitals in Beaufort, Carteret, Lenoir, Martin, Pitt, and several other counties had reported no cases.

Chemotherapy, therapy by chemicals that assault disease agents with minimum hurt to the body, was pioneered by the German scientist Paul Ehrlich (1854-1915), who discovered that synthetic dyestuffs may kill bacteria. Drugs will also be labeled on the basis of the organ system affected, resembling drugs that act on the nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and cardiovascular system.
Animals should not be tested on. There residing too, and imagine having chemical substances rubbed in your skins and eyes. Animal experimentation entails the incarceration of animals and poisoning, mutilation, disease and killing of these individuals. Due to modern medicine and microbiology, leprosy will not be as contagious in the present day as a result of administration of sulfone drugs.
Tests which might be performed on animals range from them being compelled to ingest totally different household cleansing products after which monitored to see the outcomes and new cosmetics positioned on their pores and skin to search out out if there are any unwanted side effects that may be dangerous to a human.
These medicines block the transport of calcium into the sleek cells lining the coronary arteries and different arteries of the body. handout written material on a medication that patients are taking to include unwanted side effects and other drug interactions.
Used in night vision devices to watch animals or individuals using the phenomenon called infrared illumination. For instance, information of and isolation of the properties of olive oil (calcium elonolate) for remedy had been mendacity in the shelves of Upjhon company for one hundred years but couldn’t develop it right into a drug because it couldn’t gadget a supply system.…
The mutuality model is where both physicians and patients have excessive management over medical remedy. Hey i’m a males 32 years previous and have hair loos i’ve extrem ache in urine taking biotin one thousand three time a day have some stones to. In animals, the plants berries are dried and have proven to have antiviral proteins (PAP) that may boost the immune system and counteracting cancerous tumors.
Animal cruelty is incorrect but what about all these individuals we’ve got locked up because they have carried out something wrong we must always use them for our resurch in stead of animals. Alternatively when medicine failed and the affected person died, their body was washed in anointed in scented oil earlier than being laid to relaxation.
I additionally agree that animal testing ought to be banned, as a result of it is animal cruelty, there are different ways to test medicine, and animals react in another way than people do. It is not essential that Dr. Estuita conducts the analysis himself but someone who shares the framework (free radical theories of disease) and fervour for the properly being of individuals.
Animals were not created to allow them to be abused and tested on. I see alot of stuff on the news about individuals who abuse and mistreat their animals and people people are charged with their crimes and because the scientists are doing the exact same thing, i agree that the scientists should go to jail or prison.
Exams which can be performed on animals vary from them being forced to ingest totally different household cleaning merchandise after which monitored to see the results and new cosmetics positioned on their skin to find out if there are any unwanted side effects that would be dangerous to a human.…

RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC: RGRX) announced that ReGenTree, RegeneRx's U.S. joint venture with GtreeBNT, initiated its second Phase 3 trial for Dry Eye Syndrome this month and will begin patient enrollment shortly. The double-masked, placebo-controlled trial is expected to enroll approximately 500 patients who will be treated for 28 days with RGN-259, the Company's proprietary, preservative-free eye drops. The clinical trial is expected to be completed during the second half of 2017 with the results expected to be reported during that period as well.
The trial's primary endpoints are intended to replicate and confirm results from ReGenTree's previous Phase 2b/3 trial showing, (1) a statistically significant improvement in inferior corneal staining and (2) a statistically significant improvement in ocular discomfort, when subjects are challenged in a controlled adverse environment (CAE™) at the end of treatment. The FDA has reviewed and agreed to the study protocol and overall clinical plan for RGN-259 for the treatment of Dry Eye Syndrome.
Previous clinical trials have shown that RGN-259 is safe and well-tolerated and without any side effects observed with other dry eye modalities.

Change Management in Judicial Reforms
THE Action Program for Judicial Reform (APJR) evolved from several assessment and diagnostic studies and the Supreme Courts Davide Watch which provided the vision and mission to produce an independent, effective and efficient Judiciary worthy of public trust and confidence and which will provide quality, ethical, accessible and cost-efficient legal service.
As stated earlier, the reform program is faced with challenges, one of which is that of pursuing judicial independence in a traditionally centralized system. The Judiciary, like the Church and the military are the three institutions today that operate within a hierarchical culture which values compliance, respect and strict adherence to rules. This is why any change process should be evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Reforms are being implemented with severe resource constraints and many of these planned changes are not even within the Judiciarys administrative authority such as control of budget and civil service rules.
Case congestion and delay tops the list of the most urgent problems. As of March 2003, a total of 810,718 cases have been pending the regional trial courts with 306,595 cases; metropolitan trial courts at 177,640 cases; and the municipal trial courts in cities with 147,525 cases. But there has been a substantial declogging of the courts since improved systems for case management including alternative dispute resolution mechanisms (ADRs) were introduced three years ago. Implementation of reforms is likewise hampered because of 644 court vacancies throughout the country. Both the Fourth and Ninth Judicial Regions alone have one-third of all vacancies. There are 1,486 judges to serve 79.8 million Filipinos, or a ratio of one judge per 18,621 people.
With a miniscule budget of less than one percent of the national budget, it is not surprising why the Judiciary is unable to respond to such need as physical infrastructure (many still hold court in dilapidated quarters of municipal halls) and skills training of its human resources. Public perception of corruption continues although this is difficult to document and measure. A Social Weather Station study indicated that around 70 percent which had direct experience with the court believe that many judges are corrupt. Certain areas of operations are vulnerable to corruption and this is where court discipline, a Unified Code of Ethics and a disclosure policy should be able to address. From 1998 to early 2003, the Supreme Court had dismissed one justice of the Court of Appeals, censured on Supreme Court justice, and admonished two from the Court of Appeals and one from the Sandiganbayan. At the Regional Courts, 136 were fined; 49 were admonished; 31 reprimanded; 18 dismissed; 15 suspended; and one was censured and another had his benefits forfeited.
Access to justice of the marginalized, especially women, is limited. There is however a favorable balance in the ratio of women to men among judges and division heads. …


Humans don’t show much love for the planet that has nurtured and sustained us through eons of time. Now the planet seems to be heading somewhat aimlessly down a long corridor of death–with whales stranding, glaciers melting, fish dying and birds dropping out of the skies–and of course taking us with it, though strangely few people seem to notice or care.

So, I'm really glad to be recently networking with a few different Authors. I've attached myself to a few different websites, and have met some of the most awesome, inspiring and informative people. Old pro's at the game of Writing. I'm really happy to have met them as we can all relate to each other and what it is like to be this type of Artist.
Reserving the name mentioning, I just want to take the time to give a little shout out to all of my new Author friends. You know who you are ;-)
It's a great thing. It makes me feel great, and it gives me something to look forward to. If I keep at it... if I keep trying... don't give up... push a little more everyday... I will make it. I will get to where I want to go, and that is to share my art with the world.
You know, I realize that there are millions of books and stories in the genre that I write in. However, just as I have said before. No two stories are exactly alike. Just as no two authors are exactly alike. Every story is as independent as the person that writes it.
My stories differ in that between the pages submerged in fantasy and fiction, to a certain extent, I tell the story of my life as well. My characters are a little piece of me. Just as every individual story written in the history of the written word, is a little piece of the person that wrote it.
I have great respect for the written word. Every word written, no matter how insignificant it might seem. Is more important than the world might know. Because at the end of the day... when all is said and done; the written word is the backbone of all society. It has been important since the beginning of the human age, and until the end of the human age, it shall always be important.
Everything that we write, is something that we have learned. And everything that we have learned is something that we teach. And everything that we teach is what forms the future of humanity....

Superior Signs and Graphics has collaborated on various projects with L.A. Sanitation. Examples include vehicle graphics decals and lettering, as well as a monument sign refacing at the Carson facility. For our latest project, we returned to Carson to install new aluminum dimensional lettering for monument signs.
Three-Dimensional Aluminum Lettering for Monument Signs Replaces Outdated Information
Initially, the existing lettering spelled “Joint Water Pollution Control Plant | County Sanitation Districts | Of Los Angeles County.” It was a mouthful, and with the lettering having faded, it was challenging to read.
The client decided to make a change and have us upgrade the Carson, CA, dimensional lettering to read “A.K. Warren Resource Facility | Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts.” The new title allows for larger letters.
Technicians used half-inch-thick, flat-cut aluminum letters that we painted black. Next, we stud-mounted them to the monument face’s rough surface. We installed the new letters the day after the renaming ceremony, which made the client very happy. Now, the darker lettering color offers better contrast and improved readability on the gray stone face.
Why Choose Aluminum Letters?
For exterior uses, aluminum is one of the best materials currently on the market. It is durable, does not rust, and easily adapts to any shape you need. Moreover, we can fully customize the product by painting it in any color you need. And we can freshen the look of the sign simply by reapplying the paint after several years of being in place. It saves you money on having to replace letters in the future.
Reusing Monument Signs vs. Replacing Monument Signs
Our team routinely refurbishes existing monument signs. It is an excellent way of saving money while still getting your brand message to shine. We typically recommend several approaches, depending on the makeup of the signage.
- LED conversion. If you have an internally lit monument sign that still uses outdated lightbulbs, we highly recommend converting to LED technology. It prevents the yellowing that heat output creates. Besides that, operating LEDs is much less expensive than other illumination options.
- Full-color makeover. Our custom monument sign refurbishing does not have to stop with letters and lighting. In many cases, technicians completely redo the color palette of the signage to reflect your branding.
- Cosmetic fixes. Occasionally, refurbishing monument signs does not require more than several minor fixes. Examples include a good cleaning, a few repairs, a fresh coat of paint, and a few new letters or bulbs to replace burned-out ones. Your sign looks as good as new.
If you have been considering the installation of a new monument sign, refurbishing one, or adding aluminum dimensional lettering for monument signs, we welcome the opportunity to help. Call us today!


BWW Review: THE LAST SHIP STARRING STING at Golden Gate Theatre
The Last Ship is the story of a proud shipbuilding company town being taken over by privatization, greed and heartless capitalism, and of the women and men whose lives are about to be destroyed by the closure of the shipyard. The sickness, death and wholesale lack of humanity that Maggie Thatcher's conservative policies wrought are readily apparent in Lorne Campbell's new book which is a retooling of the Broadway original by John Logan and Brian Yorkey. Sting's music and lyrics nestle softly and poignantly into the story of workers cast aside without a thought, of hopes dashed while heads are still held high and of love, camaraderie and resilience.
Several stories are told at the same time but they're woven together so loosely that you tend to lose the thread. (The thick Geordie dialect doesn't help.) There's Gideon Fletcher (the wonderful Oliver Savile) who left the town and his teenage love, Meg Dawson (Frances McNamee shines as the adult Meg) 17 years prior. Unbeknownst to him Meg was pregnant when he ran out on her and he meets his teenage daughter, Ellen (Sophie Reid is the angst-ridden teen) just at the moment when the community of shipbuilders is in crisis. Ellen has her own story, the dream to play music and escape the confines of a dying town. These two stories have very little to do with the main story which is that of a community on the edge of extinction.
Enter Sting as the sickly but noble shipyard foreman, Jackie White with has calm and supportive wife, Peggy (played brilliantly by Jackie Morrison). Jackie and Peggy and the townsfolk (representing thousands) are desperate to strike a deal with the powers that be, or possibly just to strike, in order to keep their jobs. Anger and angst are the order of the day, for the main story is that of a community who knows no other way of life. (Peggy will end up leading the community forward in a different way.)
Set Design by 59 Productions pulls out every trick in their technical book to bring us the feel of a town living in the shadow of giant steel ships, girders and metal walkways. Dark clouds continually roll by adding to the darkness threatening to envelop them all.
In this time of angst here on this side of the pond, whole communities that rely on industry jobs (auto workers in Detroit, coal workers in West Virginia) are facing the same demise. Change will come, but does it always have to happen on the backs of the working class?

7117 Bathurst St just above Steeles
Uzbekistan is in Central Asia and was an important place in the days of the Great Silk Road. The cooking has a Russian influence, and a bit of everything else that has come along.
I have been at the restaurant twice. I can heartily recommended for the general taste the chicken kebob ($10.99 I think, the chicken is not on the menu, $12.99 at the most) and the soups. The manti ($8.99) are good, but you might think the soured meat filling for the dumplings a bit funny, similarly the other meat filled appetizers.
The meal starts with complimentary homemade dill pickles which are terrific (it also depends on how far they are along the way to fully pickled and your taste) and Persian style naan that has sat but has been warmed up, and a pot of very nice mint tea. Both kebobs and manti were large servings. Indeed the two dishes could easily feed three people. My suggestion is to plan on sharing.
The chicken kebob were superb; the best I have ever had, but caution, they are flavoured with a bit of fennel seed which may not be to your taste.
The soups are like a pho and filling. Be careful not to over order. They are very good and grease free.
The manti is with a nice yoghurt dill sauce on the side.
The potato side is thin sliced and fried. It is good but very oily. I think that this is the authentic style. Next time I will ask for rice.
A lettuce salad comes with the main course. Don't let them put on the institutional Italian dressing. There is oil and vinegar on the table; better yet ask for the yoghurt sauce from the manti.
Dessert is a cylinderical pastry shell filled with walnuts. I haven't tried it, no room.
A soup and kebob plus the extras are $16.00 max and will leave you pleased and more than satisfied. And to think that for $130 plus 15% plus 15% you can get the tasting menu at Susur! Hell, the tax is more than dinner here, tax in.
The service is effeciently unpretentious and speaks English most of the time.
Oh yes, they have a varied and exotic wine list: "Imported red, imported white, Zinfandel, at $2.99 a glass if I remember right.

US gas fueling up for ‘highest prices of a generation,’ energy expert warns
Analysts see a $6 per gallon retail price due to Russia oil conflicts, demand and weather: OPIS
Despite a gas price "reprieve" this week, one energy expert cautioned the road to lower prices isn’t quite clear yet on "Mornings with Maria" Friday.
"The people I know that chart this for a living think that the wholesale price could get above $5, which would indicate a $6 retail price," OPIS Energy Analysis global head Tom Kloza told FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo.
"I do think that we could see the highest prices of a generation, even when adjusted for inflation," he continued, "these prices are going to be very, very high."
The energy expert explained there are "too many things" that can send gas prices higher this summer, including Vladimir Putin leveraging Russian oil supply, high consumer demand and potential inclement weather in the Gulf of Mexico.
GAS PRICES: THOUSANDS OF STATIONS IN GULF COAST REGION REPORTEDLY BELOW $4
"I think it's going to take a little bit of luck," Kloza said. "I don't think there's anything the president can turn to, to pull a lever to bring prices down."
Kloza also noted that the U.S. hasn’t seen its peak driving season yet.
"If I had to bet, I would say that those $5 numbers that we saw about a month ago, that's not going to be the high for the season," he predicted. "We could have a little touch of California and the Mediterranean on the East Coast or, really, in a lot of different states."
Even though some states are seeing gas prices fall below $4 this week, Kloza gave a reminder that oil is part of a global market.
"So it's not as though we could lower the price here and get away with European or Asian buyers paying $20 or $30 more," the OPIS Energy analyst said.

Kloza anticipates the noticeably lower gas prices across America will only last through next week.
"I cannot be Tony Robbins' motivational speaker today," the expert said, "because I think the coast is not yet clear."

The Earthlings have joined the interstellar club. The galaxy will never be the same.
The year is 2086 and Earth has detected an alien distress call originating from the surface of Triton. In response, Star Control is formed with you as The Captain of Earth's first prototype starship.
Prepare for liftoff with Mario and Yoshi!
In 2007, Super Mario Galaxy took the world of video games by storm. Now this first true Mario sequel in years re-energizes the franchise with new levels and new power-ups. Plus this time Mario gets to team up with his dinosaur buddy Yoshi, who adds new possibilities to the gravity-defying game play. It's everything you love about the first game and more.
* Mario collects stars as he travels from galaxy to galaxy. Every level is new, but the game retains the charm, sense of wonder and beauty in line with Mario's history. Mario works his way through the various levels, sometimes upside-down, sometimes floating from place to place.
* On some stages, Mario can find an egg, smash it open and hop onto the back of Yoshi. Yoshi can use his tongue to grab items and shoot them back at enemies, or to snag attach points and swing across chasms.
* Yoshi has an interesting diet. When he eats a Dash Pepper, he gets so hot and frenzied he can run up steep inclines and vertical walls. When he eats a Blimp Fruit, he inflates like a balloon and floats to new heights.
* New power-ups include a drill that Mario uses to tunnel through the planet's surface all the way to the other side of a planet.
* Skilled players will want to collect new Comet Metals, which will unlock harder levels with even more challenges.

Grim Dawn is an action role-playing game intended for digital distribution on the PC. It is being developed by veterans of Iron Lore entertainment, the makers of Titan Quest. Grim Dawn is being built with Crate's own improved version of the Iron Lore engine and toolset; the same technology used to create Titan Quest. As a spiritual successor, Grim Dawn will attempt to better perfect the magical formula of exploration, character advancement, and loot collection pioneered by Diablo.
Players will be thrust into the dark, war-torn world of Cairn where a once proud empire has been brought to ruin and the human race driven to the edge of extinction. Cairn has become ground zero of an eternal war between two otherworldly powers, one seeking to use human bodies as a resource, the other intent upon destroying the human race before that can happen. This cataclysmic war has not only decimated human civilization but is warping the very fabric of reality and, in its wake, giving life to new horrors.
For humankind it is the dawn of a grim new age where iron has replaced gold as currency and the importance of salt as a weapon makes it far too valuable to waste on food. Small enclaves of human survivors exist scattered throughout the world, holed up in hidden refuges. These humans have quietly watched the warring invaders destroy one another and have become wise to the strengths and vulnerabilities of their otherworldly foes. A few survivors have begun to exhibit strange new abilities after surviving possession or exposure to the warp. These unnatural powers are feared by some but give many new hope of launching a resistance to fight the "outsiders" and reclaim what is left of their world.
You are one such individual. Blessed, or perhaps cursed, by the touch of Aetherial influence, you have powers and strength beyond that of normal men. It is now up to you to take this fearsome potential and use it against the enemies of humanity. Will you be the one to save Cairn from its grim fate? Or is humanity doomed to extinction?

Does anyone knows if scratched nose will heal and turn black again? In the photo my 7 month boy, he scratched his nose about a week ago. The scratched places had blood, and now there white marks.:eek:
When Carly was young, she poked her nose through a kennel run, and another GSD bit her and it scraped her nose up pretty badly. It bled. She had those same pink stripes. It healed up, and her nose is black. You can't tell that it was ever injured.
Will it turn black?
Yes, it will be fine, enjoy!! Bob:)

Trading action in the rates market yesterday was similiar to the previous session: early morning weakness, followed by a move higher in the lunch hour, which was then lost heading into the close. News and events were fairly positive for the fixed income sector which helped spark the move higher in price, however profit takers were quick to step in and temper gains. Sounds like a lot of back and forth with no real progress in either direction right? EXACTLY! This choppy price action illustrates a market that is "range trading", which is what we have been discussing since early summer.
This morning the Department of Labor released the weekly unemployment claims report, aka jobless claims. This data totals the number of Americans who filed for first time unemployment benefits in the prior week. Included within this report is continuing claims which totals the number of Americans who continue to file for benefits due to an inability to find a new job.
The report shows that both initial and continuing claims came in right on expectations, unchanged from the prior week. First time claims for the week ending Nov. 14 were 505,000 while continuing claims fell 39,000 to 5.61 million. It appears that layoffs are decreasing but it is still difficult to find a new job as was indicated by the increase in the number of Americans receiving extended benefits which rose 119,000 to 4.16million. President Obama on Nov. 6 signed into law a plan that extends unemployment benefits for jobless people for as many as 20 additional weeks.
Next out this morning was manufacturing data from the Philadelphia Fed Survey. This report provides a look into how busy the manufacturing sector is and where activity is headed. Readings above 0 indicate a growing sector while readings below 0 indicate contraction. Recent readings have shown the manufacturing sector improving with the survey breaking above and holding over 0 since August of this year. Economists surveyed for this month’s report expected that trend to continue with the index moving from 11.5 last month to 12.0. The release shows that conditions around the Philly region continue to improve with the survey jumping higher to 16.7.
The final report of the day (and week, no data tomorrow) was the Leading Indicators report. This data is a composite index of ten economic indicators that lead overall economic activity. Most of the components of this report have already been released so this data generally doesn’t have much effect on the markets. Last month’s report jumped 1% for the sixth gain in a row and economists surveyed expect a 0.4% increase with this month’s report. The release shows a smaller gain than expected at 0.3%.
Reports from fellow mortgage professionals indicate that mortgage rates are unchanged from yesterday. The par 30 year conventional rate mortgage remains in the 4.625% to 4.875% range for well qualified consumers. To secure the par interest rate you must have a FICO credit score of 740 or higher, a loan to value at 80% or less and pay all closing costs including an estimated one point loan origination/discount/broker fee. If you are seeking a 15 year term, you should expect a par rate in the 4.125% to 4.375% range with similar costs.
Mortgage rates are testing the lower boundaries of their range. Given the currently expensive prices of MBS, we don't see much room left for mortgage rates to rally. Still in lock mode.
A petition was submitted to New York’s Attorney General Andrew Cuomo yesterday asking that the Home Valuation Code of Conduct be eliminated. This new law has dramatically changed the way appraisals are ordered. Many believe, myself included, that is has gone too far and has negatively impacted the consumer.
First, it has increased the cost of appraisals because some appraisers must work through a middleman, Appraisal Management Companies. Instead of the appraiser earning the entire fee for performing the appraisal, they must split the fee with the AMC thus the increased price for appraisals.
Next, it has extended the time period for closing. With the start of HVCC, I have seen the time from ordering an appraisal to the report being submitted extend by well over a week. This delay in getting the appraisal has led to some locks expiring or closing dates missed causing the homeowner additional fees.
Finally, since appraisers are earning far less per appraisal they want to perform as many as possible. This has led to many appraisals being done by appraisers that must travel a considerable distance to the subject property. If the appraiser is not familiar with the subject property’s area, many believe they will not be able to provide the best comparables and a fair opinion of value.
What is your opinion of HVCC and do you think it will be eliminated?

I think you should build a kickass SR185 Cafe Scrambler that puts me to shame
yes I totally agree, seasoned veteran fabricators and experienced custom bike mechanics should branch out and do different bikes because they have the skills to do that and it does keep it interesting.
You know who shouldn't do that? people on their first project trying to learn the basic skills of customizing a motorcycle. Why? because the learning curve is too steep and the opportunity for success is very small. Having an aftermarket for parts is a huge advantage for first timers because it lets them get their projects back on track by fixing their mistakes by buying new parts. If you are working on a bike that no one loves (or even likes) and there are no parts for it and you fuck up making something you have to go back to square one (if you can) and start again, and if the fuckup is particularly bad you have to spend 3 times the money to do it.
That doesn't mean this bike doesn't have things to teach you. Just getting it running, safe, rideable, and presentable stock-ish should get you to the basic skills of what is needed to start thinking about modifying a custom motorcycle.
so pull your head out of your arse and stop being too ambitious for your own good and make the bike run, ride, and have shiny paint - and then sell it and buy something you can then start to modify.
how about this?
make the bike run, ride, stop and work stock. Once it does that - take it apart and paint the frame and address all the cosmetic issues that it may need. Lean how to reseal the engine, rebuild carbs, diagnose and fix wiring, change tires, re-lace wheels, paint, re-upholster, etc. All the basic skills one needs to say they can work on an old motorcycle. saavy?

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

Bottom line from an operational standpoint; if your fuel tank is rubber mounted, holds adequate fuel volume, doesn't pollute the fuel with rust or leak at the seams, has a decent sealing filler cap and appropriate venting, it's good to go. From an aesthetics standpoint yours was intentionally built to look like a chopper peanut tank and if you didn't want that look :/ why did you buy that bike?
The fuel tank on any motorcycle is a very expensive piece of bodywork to replace.
What fuel tank will fit right on there now: the one that came on it.
What alternative fuel tank would fit right on there without modification or complications arising: none
Is a steel peanut tank a well designed and constructed fuel tank for a performance motorcycle application: Not particularly! steel fuel tanks are relatively heavy and rust. While a steel tank will take a huge dent and possibly still not leak :/ they look like crap with a big dent in the side, I have one of those from a TS185 if you want it come and get it for free.
Are you looking to put a Benelli Mojave knock-off tank on there instead? <- if everyone works off the same model fuel tank all the time life’s a bit dull eh
Haha this whole thing is classic internet.
Nope - ended up mounting a Honda tank. Re-welded the tank bracket slightly and fabricated new mounts which are slightly forward and down of the original.
you never mentioned that you have fabricating skillz
Ya guys smarten up, how come none of you thought about putting a Honda tank on a Yamaha.
Honda styled - its aftermarket - sorry probably should have explained that better. I'm a mig/tig welder by trade.
In that case you should have welded up a monocoque chassis from scratch

After discovering the photos spreading like wildfire on the internet, Kim immediately had to “go inside and just start untagging” herself from the pictures on Instagram. However, despite her efforts, the photos ultimately ruined her trip. “I can’t have fun after seeing those pics,” said Kim. “There’s other pics where I look so good, and it’s just from a different angle. It’s, like, literally giving me, like, body dysmorphia. I’m getting crazy.”
Even though Kim has had years of experience being in the limelight and having photos taken of her from every angle, the reality star couldn’t help but take it to heart as she shared to her friends, “I think people think I’m so confident, and I’m so secure, and I’m so this, and I’m not. Like, I’m so insecure. I just can’t take it.”
Later, back at home, Kim’s best friend, Jonathan Cheban, decided to approach the subject with humor because that’s what best friends are for. “I know that you have cellulite, but it doesn’t look like it looked in those pics. That was like ‘Rocky Mountain High’,” joked Jonathan. He continued, “I think I saw Abe Lincoln on your ass.” But, all jokes aside, BFFs are also there to comfort you and maybe even offer some advice. So, Jonathan told Kim, “Not everybody’s working together to, like, take you down, you know what I mean? So you need to, like, just pick your head back up.”

text: The article deals with the changes that take place in a traditional Japanese model of human resources management. Even though the traditional model and specific Japanese approach to human resources resulted from long years of practice, culture, beliefs and traditions being deeply rooted in the society; world trends, economy fluctuations, foreign capital investments, free flow of the workforce, know-how exchange and internationalizing environment, all of this elements influence the future shape of Japanese Human Resources management. Demographic changes and an ageing society are the challenges that have to be solved. Implementation of new strategies is the only solution for Japanese companies if they want to be able to compete both globally and on the national market. The authoress, on the basis of the research and thorough studies on the extent of Japanese HRM evolution in recent years and own experience gained in Japan, tries to anticipate the main directions of the Japanese HRM changes in the future.

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere returned to action just a fortnight ago after spending 14 months on the sidelines due to a recurring ankle injury. With a lack of fixtures owing to the international weekend, Arsenal are now planning to arrange some special games to help the midfielder recover faster, reported the Metro.
The 20 year-old showed positive signs when he featured for the Under-21s against West Brom and Reading, even setting up the goals in their 2-0 victory over the Royals. However, with a lack of fixtures for the next two weeks, the coaching staff are concerned that the playerâ€™s recovery could suffer a setback from the break. As a result, Under-21s manager Terry Burton is attempting to arrange special matches to ensure that the midfield star can return to first team action soon.
Burton told Arsenal Player, â€œWe haven't got an Under-21 fixture until a fortnight today. But we'll probably try and rearrange a game of some sort next week to keep them going.â€
Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen was also optimistic of the playerâ€™s return, telling Arsenal's website, â€œJack is working on his match-fitness and that is the most important thing. I think in the future he will lift the team. I am really happy he is coming back now.â€
Arsenal fans will be joyous at the return of their prodigal star and will remain hopeful that the youngsterâ€™s inclusion in the first team can help the team build on what has been a decent start to the season.
