Completing the Bridge into 2020
Posted on December 4, 2019 by Joanna
Giant blue orb of Archangel Michael/Ashtar's soul vibration overlights three lightships stationed in an arc, with the Victor Five (Valiant Thor's ship) in the centre, a Canopan ship at the left, and a Venusian ship at the right, November 9th 2019.
With love to you all, we'd like to share some 'October-November High Lights' from Star Family before launching into the beautiful alignments coming in through December 2019. ❤
In the last post, we talked about the current stage of the Planetary Shift in relation to the number twelve, the activation of what Star Family call the Twelfth Hour (as a multidimensional equivalent of the 12 chimes of a clock striking 12, and how this relates symbolically to aligning planetary ascension's 'true north'). This sequence is rolling the leading edge of the Wave of the Shift into 2020 through a trinity of 12's through December 2019 into January 2020. This high vibrational arc begins with the 12~12~12 Gateway on December 12th coinciding with Full Moon, the Solstice of December 21st, and a Solar Eclipse coinciding with Christmas, December 25-26th….all leading into a potent energetic alignment of Sun-Mercury-Saturn-Pluto that peaks on January 12th, 2020.
The ever heightening momentum of this Wave came through the 11~11 Gateway with a Transit of Mercury across the Sun on November 11th. Leading into this Gateway, Star Family and many love anchors on Earth (thank you all!) focused on building the vibration of the Silver Flame of Transcendence in the planetary energy field, deeply connected with the soul/higher consciousness of Mercury, which radiates transcendent silver light into the Solar System….as the 'silver gateway for the Solar Golden Light'. Mercury has a seventh dimensional relationship to the Earth, reflected in the physical level through the orbital plane of Mercury being at exactly 7 degrees to the Earth's orbital plane….and Mercury vibrates original Source Creation Codes, that translate through the Milky Way's galactic centre as the structural vibration 27-72, through a precise axial tilt to the Sun of 0.27 degrees (see this post for how the numbers 27-72 recur from macro to micro in this galaxy and Solar System, expressing the golden ratio throughout creation) .
The reception on Earth of the true transcendent emanation of Mercury (7D vibration of Divine Grace) had been interfered with by a counter vibration from a star in the 'belly of the dragon', Omicron Draco in the Draco constellation, which is, astronomically, Mercury's North Pole Star. From a galactic view, this influence has been transcended, and this untethering and liberated flow of pure transmission/clear communication was anchored into Gaia's receiving nodes around the planet during Mercury's Transit on the 11~11 Gateway.
Now is a perfect moment to let go of all 'old Mercury victim beliefs' that came through that filtered tether, where Mercury astrologically has been viewed as related broadly to all forms of communication, but also to deception, trickery, money and retrograde motions causing everything from accidents to techonological problems. Let the transcendence vibration at the galactic level vibrate through your personal energy field and into the collective, washing away all etheric imprints that have been used to keep that distortion in place. The purification of the energy of money, the unravelling of deceit, control and greed (fear of scarcity) from the energy of money, is being highly catalyzed and aided now through clear reception of the 'quicksilver transmission' of Silver Light flowing from Mercury's 7D soul emanation, as Silver Light vibrates the frequency of limitlessness and infinite flow. Breathe, centre in your heart, bathe in the silver light wash, transcend limitations, embrace clear, pure communications within, be free in unconditional love.

Also during the 11~11 Gateway, at the same moment in this Earth spacetime perspective, a second closely coordinated Draco mission saw the unveiling of a beautiful nebula that sits within the centre of the big curve of the Draco constellation called the Cat's Eye Nebula, which in physical presents like a rose blooming within the sacred geometries of the vesica piscis and rose cross, surrounded by veils and 11 concentric rings. Star Family say here that on the subtle levels, veils that were artificial and applied for controlling purposes have been removed and transmuted, so that the Divine Mother vibration of this nebula's sacred inner rose can flow free again.
Cat's Eye Nebula (NGC 6543), Hubble Space Telescope, NASA.
The Cat's Eye Nebula sits in relation to Earth as its Ecliptic North Pole (and has been in this position throughout the current human era on Earth), so this has a special significance for the restoration of the Divine Feminine in and around the Earth's field….and in higher light reception and interpretation of vibrations of constellations of the zodiac (constellations that align to the ecliptic plane, so that the Sun, Moon and planets appear to pass in front of them from an Earth perspective, creating vibrational alignments as they move in relation to each other) that transcends all previous reception through thousands of years of duality filters.
So can you feel how the untethering of Mercury from Omicron Draco's influence and the release of the Mother Rose of the Cat's Eye Nebula stream together through the 11~11 and onward as north pole clearings and resets within the overall arc of Ascension's 'true north' on an individual to collective level within the Earth's progressive Shift?
There are more interrelated galactic focuses currently underway, with which we and many in the Ashtar Command fleets and Angelic levels are involved, that are also aimed at untethering and 'bouncing back unfriendly energies to their source' from access points/portals in this Earth field, keeping the natural ascension pathway on track. In unity, and love and thanks to all 'on the ground' who continue to stay open, align and anchor the boundless, blissful higher light flows into this Earthly plane through the pressure zone. All the Love in the Omniverse is with us. ❤
Convergence of this Earth plane from a fragmented, dualized state with the already ascended New Earth as a fully fledged vibrational reality continues to strengthen and accelerate, with denser timeline possibilities folding faster now and dissolving into the stream of the highest trajectory, bringing the wavelengths of expression together. This is the natural flow of an ascension; the more the harmonized, unified light frequencies of Ascended Earth are anchored into this plane, the more pathways of chaos, polarization and suffering lose traction individually and ultimately in the collective, as the vibrations of those pathways rearrange into (and are rearranged by meeting) higher coherent frequencies.
The higher dimensional lead-in to the December powerhouse has been (and continues to be) immensely multi-faceted and layered, and we'd like to share a few photos of lightships, orbs and formations that have symbolized so clearly some of the energies of this lead-in, jumping back for a moment to October's major Gateway, with a 'light cloud-beam' that crossed the sky on October 9th, with many ships and loving presences dancing around it.
As the sky darkened, an orb formation close to the light band marked the position of a cloaked triangular lightship, with the orbs radiating soul vibrations of beings from planets of five star homes (within our local Galactic Federation) who are currently overlighting and assisting Earth's Shift. You can see how they positioned like symmetrical lights along the edge of a ship, with the brightest orb at the tip/nose of the ship.
Five orbs representing assisting star groups mark the outline of a triangular ship, October 9th 2019.
The Moon, a few nights off full, rose symbolically out of a patch of 'sticky mesh' ~ which dissolved into the light beam as the Moon sailed free above it. Lightships flashed to the right of the Moon, appearing in the first photo in this sequence, then green-blue orbs to the left of the Moon in the second photo, showing sub-lunar energies being balanced and uplifted, leading into the 10~10 Gateway alignment of the next day.
On October 10th, a star sister and I travelled to a beautiful beach on the 33rd Parallel South (at 33.33, on guidance from 'Upstairs'). We were joined by the beautiful aquatic-angelic motherships the Neptune and Miranda high above, while a smaller ship connected with them anchored their energies, its presence outlined, sitting on a cloud over the alignment.
Disc-shaped ship 'sits' on a cloud above the 33.33rd parallel south crossing the coast of Western Australia, October 10th 2019.
With the contrast increased, the rim of the ship, and evenly spaced lights around it, become more obvious.
Assisting beings showed their faces in the clouds, and the one in the pictures below has such distinct features. Can you feel the gentle kindness radiating through the eyes and face of this loving star friend?
A week later on October 17th, in response to heightened attempts to rupture the planetary merkaba by forces seeking to slow it down and stagnate the higher light frequencies, Angelic teams came into the planetary field en masse and their uplifting, unifying repair work reflected exquisitely through the clouds that day. Firstly, this triangle/pyramid formed overhead (in the higher dimensions, rays of light spread downward from it to the Earth, which can be seen slightly reflecting into physical, especially beaming down the right hand side of the triangle, restoring equilibrium through the harmony vibration of divine Mother-Father-Child triune energies).
Angelic mending of ruptures in the Earth's merkaba field projected into physical in the form of lines of giant stitches or zippers fastening together in the cloud shapes.
Cross-stitches appeared floating on diaphanous waves of clouds, that then flowed upward into ascending curves and pillars, as the light vibration of the planetary merkaba steadied in its ascended frequency….followed by an 'angel cloud' winging upward from the trees.
Ashura (in his current merged 5-6-7D form Ash'Shari) gave a bright flash of the ship he was on board with a group of star brothers and sisters, as the repairs were completed and the energies smoothed and settled (upper left in the photo below, as a white shining light).
Ashura (my Twin Flame, in his merged 5-7D form Ash'Shari) flashes his ship, toward the end of the 'merkaba clean-up and repair' Star Family and many light beings undertook on October 17th 2019.
Through October and up to the 11~11 Gateway, much work went on behind the scenes to remove an astral entity whose support control factions in the Earth plane were drawing upon, that was operating through a distorted red spectrum. While that entity was being unveiled and unhooked, during the evening after the Earth merkaba-mending was complete, I heard to pay attention to a plane flying low down, with an orb/craft in tow behind it. Symbolically, the plane looked like a red orb in the first photo, and on enlarging the orblike craft behind it, it looked like a 'shadow spider' wrapped around a green-red sphere. In the next frame, you can see a lightship speeding in from behind, flashing pink-white light, and removing the spider ship. This was at a stage of unhooking the distorted red entity where its web was being peeled back and transmuted from the lower astral from a holding point in the Earth. We can say that entity has now been taken Home into the Light, and the Solar System is free of its influence.
An orb/small craft trails behind a plane on October 17th, 2019, with a spider shape wrapped around it, visible in the enlargement below.
Lightship pulsing pink-white light closes in behind the plane and removes the lower 4D 'sticky web' craft from behind it, October 17th 2019.
Angelic clearings continued into November, with many cloud representations of energies being bundled and transformed through 'white phoenix' Ascended Feminine/Isis energies, such as this one on October 27th, with a bird flying aerial acrobatics around it. This exquisite dance culminated in an Angelic Butterfly of transformation flying over a cresting light wave.
This dance reflected into physical with the passage of an asteroid that night between the Earth and Moon (think of the ships and orbs dancing around the light-beam from which the Moon rose on October 9th), which Star Family drew my attention to, as a catalyst/ignition switch for the Universal 27-72 creation codes (and you can see how this revolves around the number 9 ~ 27-72 = 9-9 ~ the Angelic number of completions and beginnings flowing and guided through the 9th dimension into the form levels).
On October 31st, while Star Family were sending light into the 'Arcturian Diamond' (light frequency field) around the house and land here, the top part of the diamond outlined in the evening clouds. This was followed later by Ashura clearing a lower 4D device, which appeared visibly in the left side of the photo below as he 'popped' it through to physical and dissolved it, with his soul light coming through the aqua-white orb flying in from the right.
Ashura's aqua-white soul light appears in orb form as he neutralizes a lower 4D device on October 31st 2019.
Flowing into November, energies continued to rise and build toward the 11~11, with many beautiful lightships appearing in specific formations, such as this very bright appearance of the Victor Five, firstly above the Moon, then joined by two more ships as it positioned below the Moon, holding a triangulation below the Moon on November 1st 2019.
The Victor Five radiates bright light above the Moon on November 1st 2019.
Valiant Thor's Victor Five ship (at right, below the Moon), with our star brother Ash'Tar'Ka'Ree's soul light emanating strongly from it, is joined by Ash'Shari (Ashura's 5-7D soul expression) in the ship at the left point of a triangle formation, with Ashtar Alione in the ship in the middle/far point, stabilizing and anchoring light frequencies in the sub-lunar field on November 1st 2019.
The Canopan ship present in the photo from November 9th at the top of this post, revealed itself more closely as a distinct 'sea skate-like' form, blue-green with a violet rim, with a greeting from an angelic-aquatic star group who call themselves Elessa'Nyani, who are now here assisting planetary equilibrium along the ocean floors.
A lightship shaped like a sea skate appears for the first time on November 9th 2019, hailing from Elessa'Nya, a beautiful violet-blue aquatic planet of the star Canopus.
During the 11~11 Silver Light activation, along with untethering interference frequencies from the Draco constellation, via Mercury's north pole and the Earth's ecliptic north pole, aligning the freedom and transcendence codes through particular nodes in the Ascended Earth light grids, Star Family also initiated a mission concerning non-benevolent AI transmissions coming through a black hole in the Orion Nebula, which is located in the Sword of Orion. These two photos from November 15th symbolize the energies very clearly. In the first one, the Orion constellation appears wreathed in thick smoke (a condensed patch of cloud billowing like smoke up through Orion, in an otherwise clear night sky, which coincided with transmutation of intense fire energies from the lower astral). Orion's Belt is visible through the smoke-cloud, with four ships above, two on either side of the top of the Orion constellation, precisely angled inward as they transmuted the lower astral disturbances….with the Sword of Orion slightly visible above the Belt (as the constellation is 'upside-down' from here in the southern hemisphere).
Pairs of lightships flash while symmetrically stationed on either side of the Orion constellation, with the Belt of Orion visible through a rising smoky cloud, November 15th 2019.
In the second photo, you can see the smoke-cloud has shifted and dissipated, and that two of the ships have moved down below the Belt, in an angled tilt, mirroring the Sword of Orion, and literally bouncing synthetic control transmissions back through the Belt to their source point in a quasi-dimension through the black hole….so that they are no longer reaching receiver points on Earth. 🙂
A pair of lightships flashes below Orion's Belt, mirroring the Sword of Orion (visible above the Belt, from this southern hemisphere perspective) with a very bright orb of soul lights of the Orion High Council supervising to the right of the two ships, November 15th 2019.
Here you can see the exact alignments of Orion's Sword to the star Alnilam in the centre of the Belt, and of the ships to Alnitak, at the right, with the bright orb to the right of the ships representing those overseeing this mission, with Ashura bright white in the foreground, with members of the Orion High Council (there's a figure in green in the centre of the orb). Ashura's calling this ship alignment 'a boomerang effect', and there is ongoing focus there at present, with many ship flashes visible around Orion the last few weeks.
Many lightships and beautiful beings flowed around Orion on November 17th, 'rebirthing the galactic butterfly' yet again, with an overseeing group in a glowing blue light-cube stationed above the constellation, moving slightly in relation to the stars of Orion as they adjusted the energies.
A blue light cube that appeared in several photos hovering over Orion on November 17th 2019 can be seen to be filled with light beings in the enlargement below.
Another lightship appears in mirror position to the Sword of Orion, while bouncing back interference frequencies through the star Alnilam, returning them through the black hole within the Orion Nebula they originated from, November 17th 2019.
Finally, a beautiful array of ships and colourful orbs greeted a gathering of star friends on the ground at the home of our star brother and sister Rob&Shelley Hartland (of wispyclouds.net) on November 19th, as we held the love, joy and unity heart vibration together with our dear Star Family on high. To anyone who has found their way to this post and site, you might like to consider that you may have a higher dimensional soul expression, soul family and friends among the Ashtar Command, Galactic Federation, Intergalactic Confederation and/or Inner Earth Agarthan 5D realms of light…and that as the subtle light frequencies continue to flow and settle into the Earth's field, it becomes progressively easier to connect with them, free of distortions and diversions. Just tune in through your heart, through Universal Love, and they/we/your higher dimensional soul expressions will meet you there, with so much joy. ❤

The same ship is still flashing at the far left, with a wave of orbs flowing in from the right (see close-up of ship below), November 19th 2019.
Beautiful, luminous ship, of a clear deep bow shape, shows in close-up.
Feel the joy and kindness emanating through these orbs, there's a whole Omniverse of Love assisting the Earth Shift through these stages into full Ascended Earth convergence. We are all truly embraced in so much upliftment, with a great deal of support to keep lifting the global vibrations into the highest Ascension pathway of peace, compassion and wholeness.
Coming into December, and the last phase of completing the arc of this 'bridging year' into 2020, another great doorway of light has opened in this macro-to-micro sequence, which connects the light vibrations and codes of the Restoration of the Golden Light of Lyra, the re-ascension and renewal of Lyra's origin planets, especially Avyon (Avalon). We'll dedicate a post soon to how the renewal of Avyon relates and reflects very closely into Gaia's light grids and the re-ascension of her planetary body, Earth, and the human collective….which is so very deep a cosmic relationship.
For the 12~12~12 Gateway of December 12th, aligning and amplifying with Full Moon, there'll be a Lyran-connected Golden Light Resurrection meditation posted at the LoveLight Circle, and any of you who this resonates for are very welcome to join in. 🙂
Love, Joy and Peace to All,
Joanna&Ashura,&Tanabor ❤

More from Orion
Posted on January 3, 2017 by Joanna
It's not often we post again so quickly, but energies continue to shift monumentally in the Orion constellation, and as the 'butterfly effect' ripples through our galactic region, it has a significance here on Earth, as do other current galactic changes, and those soon to be initiated. This broad shifting ripple of uplifting energies can be seen as an indicator of how energies will move here in 2017 – but for now, in this month number 1 of a '1' year (2017=10=1), much 'new' energy is in motion, an interlaced, interconnected rising flow of higher Light. The macro and the micro are One, so we advise all to be prepared to be flexible, adaptable in the way of true unconditional love and trust, while holding steady to your deepest felt inner purpose, at the personal level and in your relationship to the collective and planetary consciousness.
The previous post introduced Tanabor, a Melchizedek of the High Council of Orion whom Ashura & I are now focusing closely with. Firstly, to show the process in Orion, I'll repost these photos from Christmas night, the 'orb party' around Orion that night, and discuss them a bit more closely.
These orbs represent a convergence of high Light energies into Orion, we could say 'riding the Christ Mass Wave'. We'll focus for now on the three clearest orbs, so you can feel into the combination of soul lights at work there.
In the first orb, are the golden and golden rose soul light of Sananda&Lady Nada, with golden Leonine Being energies and in the background of the orb (slightly greenish-gold), the light of the Halorins (see this post). The third orb has Archangel Michael's light in centre, with blue and violet light Angels surrounding him. The middle orb shows the combination of Angelic souls of rose light and green light, which Ashura&I joined in with. If you look at the position of that orb, just above Orion's Belt (or below the belt, from a northern hemisphere perspective, as from the south here, the constellation appears 'upside down'), you can see two stars in the upper green part of the orb. These are two of the stars that form 'Orion's Sword', but the lower star is actually a nebula, known as the Orion Nebula or Great Nebula of Orion.

This is a major star nursery, a galactic 'womb' where new stars form, with about 700 stars currently at various stages of formation, some as young as 10 000 years old. Spectacular as it is, this is just the 3D level of the nebula – all stars and cosmic forms are multi-dimensional and multi-layered, just as we are, and all life. In the centre of the nebula is the Trapezium Cluster, named for its squarish shape of 4 stars…but in fact, two of those stars are binaries, so there are 6 stars in the centre.
Trapezium Cluster, at the centre of the Orion Nebula, Hubble telescope, courtesy NASA.
From star family, '4 is Love, and 6 is Bliss, the harmonic of gratitude and appreciation', so feel the stellar vibration in the centre of the womb, where life forms, the 4 is 6. The love and bliss wrapped in loving appreciation through which new energies of Life are birthed. As in the macro, so in the micro….and of course 6+4=10=1. A great deal of higher guidance has come through recently about anchoring this frequency combination during the 1st month of this 10/1 year. So feel now the vibrational relationship of birthing new energies through the 6-point star of blissful gratitude merged around the 4-point star of love to the transformation of the 64 codons of your DNA, within the strands, and invite this higher birthing vibration into your strands, and into the planetary DNA. A beautiful gift from Orion's transforming energies as we enter this year!
If you tune into this orb now, the souls within it who have embraced and protected the star womb during this transformation, just feel the mixture of Rose Light of Mother's Love bathing you, and the Green Light of Life filling your being.
With the 'birthing centre' protected, immense light was sent to the two stars visible in the top of this photo, Rigel and Saiph…and old Draconian energies were dislodged, the energies cleared and gathered for healing, with the stars currently in 'rehabilitation'. From Tanabor: 'This mission has been previously attempted by the High Council, and although not successful, left the Draconian power structures with seven weakened points, and these we have now utilized to good effect. Rigel is safe, and Saiph is secured.'
On New Year's Eve, Ashura gave this image of his green light orb, again positioned just above the Belt of Orion.
Ashura's green healing orb above the Belt of Orion, 'pointing' to the middle star in the belt, Alnilam, from which a 'sticky web' has been unwound, December 31, 2016. 'X marks the spot': the 4 main outer stars also form a cross, with Alnilam at the centre, where a dark vortex is now being healed/purified.
You may be able to see faintly, further left of him, another orb, which is Tanabor's deep royal blue soul energy. And here is Tanabor again, merged in with other blue light souls, overviewing the constellation in the New Year.
Tanabor's blue orb above Orion, Jan.2, 2017. (The bright star at upper right is Sirius).
He came with these words last night, in Melchizedek language: 'Tueva Amanto.' I'm hearing these words sung over and over by many light souls around Orion, and they signify 'Creation of Love in Butterfly of Transformation'. Feel the Butterfly of Orion, where the Belt is its body, and the main stars form the wing shapes. The Belt of Orion has also been known as Freya's Distaff in the Norse tradition – distaff meaning spindle, spinning the thread of life. In this transforming Love, metaphorically a few tight knots have been untied from the thread of the birthing cord, and the womb of Orion freed from distorting influences. Through the 'Butterfly Effect', the ripples of this freeing are rippling through the galaxy, and this glorious huge rose-golden orb that also appeared last night beside Orion is radiating the pure joy and warm loving light of the Divine Feminine aspect of Source. 🙂
Rose-gold peachy orb of Divine Feminine energies beside Orion, Jan.2, 2017.
We hope this post is helpful for feeling the Light and Love of the sublime liberating energies flowing already at a high level into this new year of unlimited potentials. Ashura&I would also like to say here that in the current energies, Tanabor has joined his light with ours at a high soul level, and his blue light is for now, mingled with our golden-white One Flame, in mutual support, service and higher equilibrium as this year begins to unfold its possibilities….from the micro to the macro, all is One. The High Magic of Love flows on……….
So we will sign out here today with deepest love, light and joy to you All, from Joanna & Ashura & Tanabor, Be fearless, keep faith and trust in your heart and soul, nurture the new seeds of this year with kindness and inspiration. ❤
May the breeze of the wings of the butterfly blow new life into all hearts on Earth \\\*///
PS: Another photo of the rose-gold peachy orb taken after I published this post, with the addition of violet and blue light at top and bottom. You can see here this orb is hovering above/overlighting the whole constellation. Many more dark energies were removed last night, and their connecting 'knotted thread' to Earth dissolved. 🙂
Rose-gold peachy orb again on January 3, 2017, above Orion.

Bond election results
School bonds earn wide voter support
Voters passed six of the eight school bonds and a local option levy on ballots Tuesday, most with comfortable margins.
"It's a sign that voters support our public schools," said OSBA Executive Director Jim Green. "Clearly, voters get that there are needs out there for school facilities."
The largest construction bond, $408 million for the Hillsboro School District, passed easily, with two-thirds of the vote in partial returns. The smallest, $4 million for the Lowell School District in Lane County, also passed easily, with more than two-thirds of the vote in partial returns.
Voters approved bonds for North Marion, ($42.2 million) Phoenix-Talent ($68 million) in Jackson County, Oakridge ($6.2 million) in Lane County and Portland Community College ($185.5 million). Lane County voters renewed a levy worth about $5.4 million for the Siuslaw School District.
The $60 million bond for the Coos Bay School District had a slight lead in partial returns but was too close to call. Voters likely won't know the final results for several weeks. A $65.5 million bond for the district failed in May.
Voters rejected a $29 million bond for the Central Linn School District.

Our hope is to inspire people to seize their dreams of owning their own business.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK provides ideal business opportunities for veterans
November 12, 2021 / tmtfranchising	/ Leave a comment
With Veteran's Day being celebrated yesterday, we as a brand like to pause and honor the sacrifices made by the brave men and women veterans of this country.
All year long, we strive give back to veterans through programs like our Movers for Military campaign, and we also work hard to be a destination for veterans with employment after their time in the service has ended. Throughout the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK family, you can find numerous veterans working in a variety of roles, including as franchisees of their own TWO MEN AND A TRUCK locations.
"Being a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchisee was an easy transition for me coming from the military," said Michael Sham, a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchisee in Mississippi. "The job is similar in many ways. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK makes franchise ownership easy, and even gives veterans a military discount on the purchase of the location."
Veterans are able to align well with the lifestyle at our franchise locations, and things like our company core values resonate with their military backgrounds.
"I think a lot of the same core values that are in the military align well with being a business owner, especially at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK in particular," said Tim Lightner, a veteran multi-unit franchisee for the Racine, Janesville, New Berlin, Madison, Milwaukee, and Waukesha, Wisc. locations. "Values and techniques like discipline, hard work, putting the cause before yourself – those all fit well together, and there's an overlap."
The work we've put into our franchising model as a destination for veterans has been noticed on national level, as we've been recognized in publications like Military Times and Franchise Business Review as great opportunities for veterans.
It's a testament to the people who have transitioned from life in the military to our brand finding success, and to the systems we've put in place to build a sustainable franchising model.
"I would tell not only veterans but anybody that if you really, firmly believe in customer service and are really willing to work hard, this is one of the best situations I've ever seen for starting a business," said Bob Christensen, a multi-unit TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchisee with locations in Iowa and Illinois.
For veterans out there who are looking for the next step and who have interest in becoming a business owner, we encourage you to reach out to our Franchise Development team and learn more about the opportunity, or visit our Franchise Development website, here.

14 years after emigrating from Ecuador, San Diego franchisee continues to find success as TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchisee
October 15, 2021 / tmtfranchising	/ Leave a comment
There's no set path to business ownership, and each path to becoming a business owner is unique to the individual living it and setting out on the path to be their own boss.
For TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® franchisee Pedro Gallegos, he brings another unique chapter to the company's vast franchisee network. His career with the company started in 2008, where he worked as a finance intern at the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Home Office location for a year. But his overall story started a year prior when he made a decision that would affect his entire world.
"My story is a little different. I am a first-generation Hispanic immigrant," said Gallegos, who is the current franchisee for the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK San Diego franchise. "I emigrated here from Ecuador in 2007."
As the world celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month, it's important to acknowledge and celebrate people of Hispanic backgrounds, making a difference in communities across the country.. For Gallegos, though, this concept isn't something he has been familiar with very long – but it's something that comes with an immense amount of pride.
"I honestly didn't know about Hispanic Heritage Month until a couple of years ago because I didn't grow up with that," Gallegos said. "However, I do feel proud of myself coming to United States 14 years ago with two bags and no family to now owning a business that employs 50 people."
It's been a long journey for Gallegos, but one filled with opportunity and the chance to make a difference in the lives of others.
He made the purchase of the San Diego franchise with his wife Alicia in the summer of 2012 after she encouraged the decision. It was a bold step for the couple, but one that was filled with a ton of support along the way.
"My wife Alicia had been working in the system her whole working career, as she is the daughter of one of the original 'stickmen', Brig Sorber," Gallegos said. "So, our process was a little different than most. It was a little overwhelming at first because you're getting fed so much information in a short amount of time, but that happens with any new business you start. Everyone at Home Office was so helpful at the time, and I continue to rely on them as much as I did nine years ago when we started."
Coming from a background of finance and working in the consulting arm of a public account firm, the idea of independence and the flexibility of owning your own business appealed to Gallegos.
Paired with the idea of being able grow a business while being able to impact the lives of his employees and help move them along in their careers, he knew he was ready to jump at the chance of becoming a franchisee.
"Some of my favorite parts of the job are just being able to service a very distinctive need in the community," Gallegos said. "Moving is not fun, so being able to assist customers with their moves provides a lot of satisfaction. I also enjoy creating and providing jobs and seeing my employees grow. Plus, the flexibility of being a franchisee allows me to spend time with my young daughter."
Gallegos pointed to TWO MEN AND A TRUCK being a "tried and true business" when talking about why he would recommend the opportunity to others. Through recessions and pandemics, the business is still able to thrive, and the opportunities for growth continue to present themselves year after year.
The journey has been eventful, but worthwhile for Gallegos, and he's proud of what he's been able to achieve. He came here from Ecuador in 2007 unsure what to expect, and has worked his way to being a Hispanic business owner in his community – something he knows isn't easy, but is obtainable.
"It means a lot. I feel proud that I'm an immigrant and have achieved my version of the American Dream now that I am a U.S. Citizen," Gallegos said. "The "American Dream" is alive and well, despite what you might hear these days. America is a great place to move and live and raise a family once you compare it to many other places. I am a true testament that you can still come to the U.S. with nothing and make something out of yourself. It's just a matter of putting in the hard work and effort into whatever you do."

Making your TWO MEN AND A TRUCK investment worth it
August 20, 2021 August 19, 2021 / tmtfranchising	/ Leave a comment
For anyone who is planning to make an investment into franchising, there's one question which stands out above the rest: How soon will I see a return on my investment?
It's no secret a big goal when it comes to business ownership is seeing a return on your investment as you work to build a sustainable operation that can help you and your employees continue to move forward. For a franchising model like TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, this starts with building brand awareness, offering a variety of quality services, and proving you're a brand customers can trust time and time again.
"We love the franchise model – you don't have to reinvent the wheel," said Bert Kolz, president of the Blackwolf Group, a multi-unit TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchise group. "TWO MEN AND A TRUCK is a well-respected brand, it's a high-quality brand, and we don't have to reinvent things. We can basically use the road map that TWO MEN AND A TRUCK gives to us, and then expand that into our local markets and make them successful."
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK has worked hard over the past 35 years to provide franchisees with all of the necessary resources to become successful franchise owners. Our bread and butter began with traditional home moving, and we have since built additional services around this – including long-distance moving, junk removal, storage, packing services, in-home delivery, in-home moving, and more.
We're proud to boast a 96% customer referral rate, showing we're a brand name people recognize as reliable. This goes a long way in maintaining our success, and given our recent acquisition by ServiceMaster, we're working harder than ever to grow our brand even further.
"Franchising with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK gives you the ability to run a small business with the support of a very caring system," said Josh Payne, a multi-unit franchisee with locations in Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, and Texas. "The revenue and profit potential in comparison to other franchising opportunities is incredible. When you add those things with the ability to truly help people and make a difference in the community, it is an opportunity everyone should look into."
According to our franchising data, franchises that had been open for 12 months of operation saw an average gross sales of $682,402, while average annual expenses totaled $655,259. By year three of operations, a majority of our franchise were able to experience significant growth, with average gross sales of $1,176,579 and an average annual expense total of $951,321.
By year five of operation, the average annual gross sales were $2.2 million with an average profit of 11 percent, showing just how quickly you can start to see a return on that investment.
"I would definitely recommend franchising with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK," said Jeremy McDuffie, a franchisee in Outer Banks, North Carolina. "The company's reputation speaks for itself. It provides endless career opportunities and it provides the chance to give back and help in the community."

New North Carolina franchisee used family as motivation to advance and grow his career
July 23, 2021 / tmtfranchising	/ Leave a comment
Career growth is a priority at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK– from our movers and drivers up through our managers, we are proud to create opportunities our franchises can offer their frontline teams to advance their careers.
Many TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchisees began their journeys on the trucks as movers and drivers and for new franchisee Jeremy McDuffie, he is no different. McDuffie – along with co-franchisees Tim Kirian and Brian Churney – recently opened the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Outer Banks, N.C. franchise. This is not only a milestone achievement for our brand as we open a new location, but also for McDuffie, who was able to have years of hard work solidified as he transitions to the franchisee role.
He's had quite the ride to get to this place, and those closest to him served as his biggest motivation as he worked toward this achievement.
"I initially started as a mover and I was eager to learn the business," McDuffie said. "Shortly after beginning my career, I was blessed to learn that I had a daughter on the way and would soon be a father. I used that as motivation to be the best employee I could possibly be, and this determination led to me coming a driver, and eventually landing in management positions."
With so many different roles prior to becoming a franchisee, McDuffie was able to see the workings of a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchise from various positions, which he knows will help him out as a business owner.
There are still new challenges involved like there would be with any career change, and it's something McDuffie is looking to take head on.
"The biggest challenge from this transition would be just handling the new responsibilities that are different from what I'm accustomed to in previous positions," McDuffie said. "I'm working on developing the most effective schedule so I'm able to focus on each task, something I know is vital to being a franchisee."
It's not all hard, however, and he's enjoyed some of the new responsibilities involved with this role..
"My favorite part about being a franchisee so far is just having the opportunity to show employees what can be accomplished when you combine hard work with our core values," McDuffie said. "I am living proof that you can certainly move forward within TWO MEN AND A TRUCK."
With being a new franchise and opening a brand new location, there is a never-ending list of tasks McDuffie and his co-franchisees will work on as they build their location and generate customer awareness in their area.
McDuffie is also really focused on the employee side of things as he works to get a team set in place at his location. He feels building relationships is one of his most important jobs as a franchisee.
"I believe everyone working together as a family is what keeps the business moving in a positive direction," McDuffie said.
It's the beginning of another franchising journey in the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK family, and another example of how much is possible with this company when hard work is put in. McDuffie is honored and ready for the new opportunity, and he would encourage anyone interested to go for it.
"I would definitely recommend franchising with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK," McDuffie said. "The company's reputation speaks for itself. It provides endless career opportunities and it provides the chance to give back and help in the community."

What a day in the life of a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchisee looks like
July 9, 2021 / tmtfranchising	/ Leave a comment
When it comes to being a a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® franchisee, the only constant about day-to-day life is that there is no constant, and you're continuously experiencing new things as you work to run your business.
A normal day in the life can be a lot of different things, and that's what makes franchising with our brand so unique. While each franchisee might run their operation a little differently and the day-to-day responsibilities might vary by location, the goal for all of our franchisees is the same: moving customers and employees forward.
"The goal for us is always growth," said Multi-unit Franchisee Nick Roerig. "We want to grow the business, grow people's careers, and grow the positive impact we can have on the people around us. That's what's great about this company – it is a place where you can grow all of these things with like-minded people."
How franchisees work to meet this goal depends on their style of business ownership, but there are a few common traits across the board to help summarize a normal day in the life for a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchisee.
Keeping an eye on franchise culture and atmosphere to ensure there is a healthy work environment at each location
Making sure the franchise is in compliance with all regulations and guidelines from a corporate and state level
Creating a fair work environment that promotes accountability, communication, and team development
Using strategic business planning and tactics to help protect the brand, promote the brand, and drive success for the franchise
Building relationships with other business owners and organizations in the area to help with participating and giving back to the community
For more insight on what a typical day looks like for a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchisee, we spoke with Multi-unit Franchisee Holly Stewart who owns multiple locations in Georgia!
What is the day-to-day like for you?
"It really can vary a lot from week to week, but it's usually some mix of working with managers, putting face time in with front line staff to keep culture and accountability high, meetings with outside parties, and getting my work done."
What is something people wouldn't expect that comes with the job?
"It isn't always the case, but there are times when you can have your cake and eat it, too. The business will reflect you over time and if you're able to mold everything together, it can be a lot of fun."
What should people know before becoming a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchisee?
"Even though you own the business, it's still a full-time job. Being a franchisee in a franchising system gives you access to outstanding tools and resources and access to a proven roadmap of success, but at the end of the day it's still up to you to make everything come together. I find it helpful to remember that as the business owner, I have to drive the ship and make the tough choices."

What to expect when starting your own business versus joining an established franchise brand
May 28, 2021 June 24, 2021 / tmtfranchising	/ Leave a comment
Becoming a business owner is a dream many have as they look to establish themselves as professionals at the beginning of their working careers.
However, deciding how to get there is a complicated process and involves a lot of planning and decision making as you figure out how to invest your money. While the traditional route is starting your own business, franchising is another avenue to business ownership that could be strongly considered for those looking to be their own boss.
When it comes to starting your own business, you have to come up with an idea from scratch, build a product and following, and continue to innovate as you expand your business reach and customer network. With franchising, you are buying into a proven model of success where brand recognition is already prevalent as you open a new chapter of a business people already trust.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK has allowed people to achieve their dream of business ownership for more than 35 years, and in turn, has built a diverse franchisee network full of experienced, hardworking individuals who come from all backgrounds.
"I became a franchisee for TWO MEN AND A TRUCK in December of 2014," said Curtis Newman, who is a multi-unit franchisee with locations in Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, and Texas. "The process was very detailed and organized in the months leading up to everything. We were fortunate enough to be able to speak with the Home Office First Gear Team on a weekly basis, and they made sure we had everything in order to be successful."
The TWO MEN AND A TRUCK brand is now open in 45 states across America – as well as Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom – and we're looking to continue our expansion in these areas as time goes on. For three decades now, we've made a mark on the moving industry as being a reputable moving service with outstanding customer service.
It's a brand people can trust, and that trust makes franchising an exciting opportunity for potential franchisees who are interested in joining the brand.
"I love being my own boss and being hands-on," said Jim Frederickson, a multi-unit franchisee with locations in Arizona. "Having my own company in my hometown and providing a quality service to my network of friends, relatives, coworkers, classmates, and so on is just an awesome experience. I still say today that my mom is my biggest referral source."
A major selling point of the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchising experience is the support you get from our dedicated Home Office subject matter expert teams. All areas of business are covered here – marketing, sales, accounting, human resources, operations, risk and safety management, and more – to ensure your franchise is successful.
Working together with these Home Office teams, you'll develop the best plans for your business while also gaining access to daily support and communication should you have questions.
We are strong believers in extensive and ongoing training for everyone involved with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK so we can continue to improve at every level. From the moment you sign on as a franchisee with our brand, you are given access to a large resource of training options.
From our Gearing Up course for new franchisees to monthly webinars and our Stickmen University library, you'll have every topic of the franchising world covered.
Growing service options
In order to have a successful franchise, you need successful service options, and that's exactly what we have here at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK. We've continued to evolve over the years from just local, home movers, and we now offer business moving, long-distance moving, storage options, packing options, and our newest service – junk removal.
These will help you become a one-stop-shop for all moving needs for your customers.

LORNA ROSENBERG vs. ROBERT M. ROSENBERG
33 Mass. App. Ct. 903
No. 91-P-542.
Divorce and Separation, Division of property, Alimony.
Neither member of the divorcing couple disputes that their capital assets were apportioned lawfully pursuant to G. L. c. 208, § 34. On his appeal, the only issue which the husband presses is that the probate judge erred in awarding the wife alimony of $2,000 per week when her needs could be met with income from the $4,000,000 cash component of the capital assets allocated to her by the divorce judgment.(fn1) The answer to that point may be King Lear's cry, "O, reason not the need!" Shakespeare, King Lear, Act II, sc. 2.
In support of his contention that the wife does not "need" alimony, and, therefore, is not entitled to it as matter of law, the husband calculates that she could receive from $251,465 to $320,000 annually in investment income from the $4,000,000 cash component of the marital property division. Buttressing that point, the husband observes that the probate judge found the wife's stated needs were "exaggerated" and that the wife had managed to survive on a support order of $122,980 (post tax) for each of the three years between the couple's separation and their divorce. No doubt the husband is right that the wife should be able to keep the wolf from the door---in accustomed style---on the investment income from the capital assets awarded to her. That does not, however, compel the conclusion that the probate judge abused his discretion by awarding alimony to the wife. See Bacon v. Bacon, 26 Mass. App. Ct. 117, 121--122 (1988).
To be sure, need is a primary consideration in establishing the level of alimony. That is because the central objective of alimony is, subject to the availability of resources, maintenance of the more dependent spouse in an economic style close to which the spouse had become accustomed during the marriage. Gottsegen v. Gottsegen, 397 Mass. 617, 623--624 (1986). Grubert v. Grubert, 20 Mass. App. Ct. 811, 819 (1985). Kehoe v. Kehoe, 31 Mass. App. Ct. 958, 959 (1992). Need is to be satisfied if it can be, but those cases and the authorities on which they rest are not to be read as necessarily limiting alimony by the dependent spouse's need. Under G. L. c. 208, § 34, alimony and property division are interrelated. Grubert v. Grubert, 20 Mass. App. Ct. at 819. Harris v. Harris, 26 Mass. App. Ct. 1004, 1004--1005 (1988). 2A Kindregan & Inker, Family Law and Practice § 1003 (1990). Need is a major element, but obviously not the only one, in an equitable distribution of property under § 34. That statute sets forth fifteen factors to be considered in fashioning the award, of which need is one. See Robbins v. Robbins, 16 Mass. App. Ct. 576, 580 (1983). In making a comprehensive equitable award under § 34, the judge has discretion in allocating dollars to alimony and to distribution of capital assets. See Rice v. Rice, 372 Mass. 398, 400--401 (1977); Ross v. Ross, 385 Mass. 30, 36 (1982).
When the entire marital estate is as large as it is in this case (the joint assets of the parties came to $21,970,830), need, even as related to station in life, recedes as a consideration; equitable distribution of the marital assets becomes the main task. Such an approach is consistent with the view that the dissolution of a long-term marriage---the Rosenbergs had been married twenty-nine years---somewhat resembles the dissolution of a partnership, and that careful thought must be given to the various contributions of the partners to the marital enterprise. See Bianco v. Bianco, 371 Mass. 420, 422--423 (1976); Inker, Alimony and Assignment of Property: The New Statutory Scheme in Massachusetts, 10 Suffolk U.L.Rev. 1, 3--4 (1975). In that partnership context, it is within the discretion of the judge to award alimony which, taken in isolation, is consistent with the need of the dependent spouse, even though, were one to calculate investment income from capital assets awarded, the aggregate amount exceeds what is currently needed.
Alimony awards have the advantages of tax benefits to the paying spouse and flexibility, should the financial circumstances of either spouse change substantially. By contrast, a division of capital assets, absent fraud, is not subject to later modification. Kirtz v. Kirtz, 12 Mass. App. Ct. 141, 148 (1981). In devising the judgment in this case, the probate judge seemed to provide a fund that approximated the wife's need through alimony, while making an allocation of marital assets that undoubtedly provided her an economic base for a life beyond even fairly elevated need. The judge in a supplementary memorandum particularly called to attention that the award of $2,000 per week in alimony was based on the husband's earned income, as distinct from investment income, of $900,000 per year.(fn2) In the same memorandum, the judge observed that should the husband's earned income materially decrease, he would be entitled to seek a modification of the alimony order. Both parties might then be remitted to living more on their capital, although surely not dipping into it. As to the division of capital assets, the judge allocated approximately seventy percent of them to the husband. The use of alimony to avoid a larger transfer of capital assets to the wife had the benefit of lessening forced liquidation of capital assets by the husband---assets which he demonstrably managed very well.
The judge considered each of the factors set out in § 34. We are satisfied that he acted within the bounds of his broad discretion.
Judgment affirmed.
Edward J. Barshak for Robert M. Rosenberg.
Jacob M. Atwood (Christine J. Velman with him) for Lorna Rosenberg.
1 In addition, the wife received noncash assets (objects of art, real estate, and an interest in a savings plan of the husband's company) having a value of approximately $1,380,000.
2 Although the judge used the phrase "earned income of $900,000," his findings show compensation from the husband's employer of $649,480 per year and $291,200 per year from interest and dividends, a total of $940,680 per year. We take it the judge used the words "earned income" in the sense of ordinary income, as distinguished from nonrepetitive capital gains.

Massachusetts Appellate Case - Rosenberg vs. Rosenberg


8, and rapidly approaching 6.
I need to ponder that a bit. It makes my heart a bit heavy. Riley said to me the other day he might grow up to take care of animals. And I said, "That's a really cool idea, Ri." It wasn't until much later that I realized he's reaching that age where it's no longer being a fireman or a video game character. He's starting to express the things that are important to him. His response surprised me a bit…it's more something I'd expect to hear from Ky, who runs toward every dog he sees, ready to embrace (we've finally taught him to ask permission and approach slowly, lest he run headlong into an unfriendly beast). Add that Riley can't stand the sight or thought of blood and we'll probably be moving on.
But mostly it's watching them reveal their character in unexpected ways that amazes me. Kylen trying so hard to have a great day at school and come home with a smiley face for behavior, yet so often emerging from the bus with his arm held horizontally across his body, indicating he got a 'straight face.' "I got one of these today," he'll say, and sigh. Or a sad face, which ends in an eruption of tears. He's got so much to learn about just being in a new group. But he was the Class Star last week, and all the kids wrote something about him. Most of the girls wrote about his eyes (god help us), but the rest said he made them laugh, or he was a nice friend. And after a month of him vanishing into the vacuum of kindergarten each day, those notes meant a lot.
Riley and I had a talk the other day about bullies. I can't think of anything else in my own childhood as agonizing as dealing with them, and I carry memories still that shape me, and will likely lead to me making some horrendous parenting mistake. Ri always talks about bullies in the abstract and never indicates he cares too much one way or the other. But he asked what bullies do, and why. And I tried to explain. And I asked what he'd do if someone bullied him. He said, "Tell an adult." Right on, kid. And then we walked to that precipice. I told him that he should never, ever start a fight. But if someone's pushing him or worse, he had every right to defend himself. In other words, it's ok to take a swing when someone's swinging at you. I never did. I wish I had. As soon as I said it I realized I'd crossed that line where a parent projects their own mistakes on their child, and waits to see the fallout.
You can sign us both up for therapy now, that's the given. But it was the most revealing moment I can remember in so long for this kid who's pretty even keeled when he's not mad at his brother. The angst in his face at the thought of hurting someone. I'd never have expected it. Not, "I could get hurt." No, I could hurt someone else, and that's not cool.
You can try to do a lot of things right. Read the books, say the right things. But ultimately I think it's how you're built inside, right from the start. And he opened the door for a glimpse, then shut it again. And that was all I needed to see. Oh, I hope he'll stand up for himself, that's true. But I'm happier that I got to know his heart a bit more…I learned more that day than he did by a mile.

FERC Rule to Improve Transmission Line Ratings Will Help Lower Transmission Costs
Docket No. RM20-16
Item E-1 | Staff Presentation
FERC today approved a final rule that will more efficiently utilize our nation's transmission grid and help lower costs for consumers by improving both the accuracy and transparency of transmission line ratings.
Transmission line ratings represent the maximum transfer capability of each transmission line and can change based on weather conditions. This final rule requires all transmission providers, both inside and outside of organized markets, to use ambient-adjusted ratings as the basis for evaluating near-term transmission service to increase the accuracy of near-term line ratings. Typically, line ratings are based on conservative assumptions about worst case, long-term air temperature and other weather conditions that can lead to underutilization of our transmission grid.
"If we are going to meet the needs of the grid of the future while keeping customer rates just and reasonable and maintaining grid reliability, we need to squeeze everything out of our existing grid," Chairman Glick said. "Today's final rule is huge step forward in making more efficient use of our transmission system and saving money for customers. But our work isn't done. I look forward to working with my colleagues to explore the adoption of dynamic line ratings to further increase the efficiency of our grid."
While the final rule does not mandate the adoption of dynamic line ratings – ratings that account for other factors like wind speed – the rule does require that organized market operators establish and maintain systems and procedures necessary to allow transmission owners that would like to use dynamic line ratings the ability to do so. The rule acknowledges that dynamic line ratings may deliver incremental benefits and announces that the Commission is opening a proceeding in AD22-5-000 to continue to build the record and explore the potential for further action on dynamic line ratings.
Transmission providers must submit compliance filings within 120 days of the effective date of the rule. All requirements in this rule must be implemented no more than three years from the compliance filing due date.

Q: Can't run make using C++ stdlib system call I've got the following code in C++
  if (should_run_make) {
    std::string make = "make -C ";
    make.append(outdir);
    std::cout << "Make cmd is " << make << std::endl;
    system(make.c_str());
  }

This reports the following:

Make cmd is make -C /home/hamiltont/temp/ make: Entering directory
  /home/hamiltont/temp' make: *** No targets.  Stop.
  make: Leaving directory/home/hamiltont/temp'

However, doing it manually works fine in multiple ways e.g.
[hamiltont@4 generator]$ make -C /home/hamiltont/temp/
make: Entering directory `/home/hamiltont/temp'
g++ -O3 -I/usr/include/openmpi-x86_64 -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib64/openmpi/lib -lmpi -lmpi_cxx -lboost_serialization -lboost_mpi  stg_impl.cpp -o impl
make: Leaving directory `/home/hamiltont/temp'

[hamiltont@4 generator]$ cd /home/hamiltont/temp/
[hamiltont@4 temp]$ make
g++ -O3 -I/usr/include/openmpi-x86_64 -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib64/openmpi/lib -lmpi -lmpi_cxx -lboost_serialization -lboost_mpi  stg_impl.cpp -o impl

A: Are you generating the makefile from within your C program?  That's the only reason I could imagine would cause that specific error message.

make: *** No targets. Stop.

Reproducing the error
Here's how I could generate that message:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
    FILE *fp = fopen("Makefile", "w");
    fputs("all:\n\techo Done.\n", fp);
    system("make");
    fclose(fp);
    return 0;
}

This, predictably, prints:

make: *** No targets.  Stop.

I say predictably because Makefile will be empty!  This is because IO is buffered...
Fixed version
So, I close the file before calling system(), which flushes the buffer (fflush() would also do the trick):
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
    FILE *fp = fopen("Makefile", "w");
    fputs("all:\n\techo Done.\n", fp);
    fclose(fp);
    system("make");
    return 0;
}

Output:

echo Done.
Done.

I used C's IO functions for clarity, but the same rules apply to <iostream>.

Yesterday was a fairly bleak day for the Eurozone as Italy unexpectedly slipped back into recession and German factory orders dipped to far below what was forecast. As tensions in Ukraine remain and a consistent recovery in the eighteen-nation bloc remains elusive, the euro will continue to be under pressure.
Effects of yesterday's poor data were relatively limited and there were no huge movements against sterling or the US dollar. However, sharper rate movements are likely to be seen today when the European Central Bank (ECB) releases its monthly interest rate decision and President Mario Draghi makes his address. As more aggressive monetary policy options have expressly been kept open by Draghi and economic data stubbornly fails to improve, any hints that the ECB will further loosen policy is likely to cause euro weakness. On the other hand, any expression of more positive sentiments may lend the single currency some support but this doesn't seem likely given the poor Eurozone data mentioned above.

Statistics of Allsvenskan in season 1933/1934.

Overview
The league was contested by 12 teams, with Hälsingborgs IF winning the championship.

Malmö FF was disqualified after 13 rounds. The reason was that rivaling IFK Malmö had learned that Malmö FF had given their players watches for Christmas, which presumably had happened in other clubs before. But it was a violation of the very hard amateur rules of the time. All nine of Malmö FF's matches during the spring was cancelled.
