"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, it's 7 o'clock on a beautiful day and there are whales off the back of the boat."
That's a pretty good way to start a day, and a fine excuse to jump into shorts and a fleece (no time for underwear) and rush to get into the inflatable. We spent half an hour buzzing around in the bay here at Bartolome in the Galapagos Islands, watching for the oval of smooth water that's the whale's 'footprint' and shows where it's heading and where it's likely to surface. We had the slightly alarming thrill of leaning over the side and seeing the luminous blue of the whale's white underside passing right beneath the boat, just below in the clear water.
It was a humpback whale and her calf, and they hung around for ages, quite unperturbed, and even doing a bit of breaching later when we'd gone back to the ship, La Pinta, for breakfast. They were still in the bay when we returned from climbing Bartolome's stark, barren summit, crunching over volcanic scoria and spotting lava lizards.
Later we stepped over immobile marine iguanas, snorkelled past penguins, watched hawks and frigate birds soaring overhead, and got sniffed by a disconsolate sea lion cub on a red beach, who was crying for his mother, we presumed, before giving it up as a bad job and going to sleep on the sand.
All very wonderful - but now, after dinner, I'm in the library alongside the bar listening to an American family thrashing the karaoke machine: Johnny Cash, Michael Jackson and Queen. Sublime to ridiculous, I reckon.


As you guys know in June I changed my eating habits very drastically. I decided to keep track of my carb intake for 2 main reasons – 1. because I wanted to lose weight/feel better about my appearance and 2. because my family has a history of diabetes and carbs are a diabetic's enemy. You can read about my journey here: when I started, my 10 lb mark, and 20 lb mark. I actually haven't lost much weight since then, only 2 pounds down. But I am seeing a difference in my clothes, a continuing improvement on my endurance, and an increase in the amount of weight that I can lift. Thanks to my Nike Fuelband SE, I've been able to make strides in my fitness by keeping track of my activity and challenging to push harder than the workout before.
For my eating habits, one of the hardest things for me to do was give up chips and french fries. Those 2 things I can never resist. They're my weakness. But what I've learned to do was find a replacement that could satisfy my craving for those things by replacing them with items that have similar properties. Here are a few suggestions.
Sandwich Bread replacement: low carb tortilla. I love certain types of bread – french bread, sourdough bowls, baguettes, and other artisan breads. That I haven't found a replacement for, unfortunately. But for my sandwiches? I buy Mission's Carb Balance Tortilla. Though it has the highest amount of carbs on this list (19g of carbs per tortilla) most of it is from fiber (13g) which is good.
Rice replacement: cauliflower rice. I haven't had cauliflower rice in a while but it's a great alternative if you need that texture. Cooked cauliflower is 5g of carbs per cup. That's over 8x less carbs than 1 cup of rice. Imagine that 🙂 Charlie has a great cauliflower fried rice recipe. I'll have to bug him to share that with us!
Mashed Potato replacement: cauliflower mash. This is a spectacular alternative to mashed potatoes! Charlie and I lived off of this when I first went low-carb. Then we got tired of it cuz we had it so much lol! Add a little bit of salt, pepper, even 2 tbs of fat free cream cheese (2g of carbs) and you're golden!

Consequence or coincidence? The occurrence, pathogenesis and significance of autoimmune manifestations after viral vaccines
Vaccine. 2005 Jun 10;23(30):3876-86. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2005.03.005. Epub 2005 Apr 7.

DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2005.03.005
Background: Viruses and virus-induced lymphokines may have an important role in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity (Schattner A. Clin Immunol Immunopathol; 1994). The occurrence and significance of autoimmune manifestations after the administration of viral vaccines remain controversial.
Methods: Medline search of all relevant publications from 1966 through June 2004 with special emphasis on search of each individual autoimmune manifestation and vaccination, as well as specifically searching each viral vaccine for all potential autoimmune syndromes reported. All relevant publications were retrieved and critically analyzed.
Results: The most frequently reported autoimmune manifestations for the various vaccinations, were: hepatitis A virus (HAV)--none; hepatitis B virus (HBV)--rheumatoid arthritis, reactive arthritis, vasculitis, encephalitis, neuropathy, thrombocytopenia; measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR)--acute arthritis or arthralgia, chronic arthritis, thrombocytopenia; influenza--Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), vasculitis; polio--GBS; varicella--mainly neurological syndromes. Even these 'frequent' associations relate to a relatively small number of patients. Whenever controlled studies of autoimmunity following viral vaccines were undertaken, no evidence of an association was found.
Conclusions: Very few patients may develop some autoimmune diseases following viral vaccination (in particular - arthropathy, vasculitis, neurological dysfunction and thrombocytopenia). For the overwhelming majority of people, vaccines are safe and no evidence linking viral vaccines with type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis (MS) or inflammatory bowel disease can be found.

Toxic, Man-made Pollutants Found in Deepest Oceans
No place is safe from pollution, including the deepest parts of the oceans.
Writing in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, researchers from Newcastle University in the United Kingdom say small creatures called amphipods that live in the Mariana and Kermadec trenches, both of which are more than 10 kilometers deep, have "extremely high levels" of man-made toxic chemicals in their fatty tissues.
The chemicals, called Persistent Organic Pollutants, include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).
PCBs were produced from the 1930s through the 1970s when they were outlawed. But researchers estimate 1.3 million tonnes of PCBs were produced worldwide.
They entered the environment through "industrial accidents and discharges and leakage from landfills." Furthermore, they are "invulnerable to natural degradation" so can last for decades.
"We still think of the deep ocean as being this remote and pristine realm, safe from human impact, but our research shows that, sadly, this could not be further from the truth, said lead researcher, Alan Jamieson.
"In fact, the amphipods we sampled contained levels of contamination similar to that found in Japan's Suruga Bay, one of the most polluted industrial zones of the northwest Pacific."
To reach their conclusions, researchers used deep-sea landers to bring organism samples up from the trenches, which are 7,000 kilometers apart.
The pollutants, according to Jamieson, likely sank to the bottom of the ocean through contaminated plastic garbage as well as dead animals that drifted to the bottom and were eaten by the amphipods. Amphipods with toxic chemicals are then eaten by bigger organisms as the pollutants make their way back into the food chain.
"The fact that we found such extraordinary levels of these pollutants in one of the most remote and inaccessible habitats on earth really brings home the long term, devastating impact that mankind is having on the planet," said Dr Jamieson. "It's not a great legacy that we're leaving behind."

Collaboration and all tasks linked to teamwork, such as group messaging, document-sharing and synchronization, task management, group schedules, video-conferencing and screen-sharing are essential tools when it comes to team productivity. Wimi offers these essential team-work tools with the highest reliability, availability, and security requirements. Based on proven technologies, Wimi has developed a highly accessible and secure architecture to best respond to these needs.
This document is provided only as a point of reference. Despite all efforts to verify the comprehensiveness and the accuracy of all information contained in this document, it is provided "as is" without guarantee what will happen and within given limits. In the interest of continuous product development, Wimi reserves the right to make improvements to this document and to the products described at any time without warning nor obligation.
Wimi allows easy and efficient collaboration on projects and provides a unique and simple tool to communicate effectively, share and synchronize documents, assign and carry out tasks, synchronize calendars and monitor activities. It's equally an ideal tool for project collaboration at the forefront of an organization. Available as a SaaS product, Wimi allows access no matter where you are, no matter when you need it, bringing together all the content and tools you need for teamwork. Reliability, availability, and security are just some of the essential reasons why so many companies rely on and trust Wimi.
Wimi has devised an infrastructure along with applications that optimize performance, resilience, and security. Wimi works alongside data centers in France that comply with international regulation, ensure availability and promise maximum security. Wimi is currently hosted by the online society SAS (Iliad Group) on a dedicated infrastructure of which the architecture has been completely designed by Wimi. Wimi maintains full and complete control over the physical machines that make up the infrastructure.
Wimi's infrastructure has been designed with a focus on resilience. Each component (from the computer to the power supply, and even the network connection) at the heart of the system is exchangeable and can be replaced in case of failure or breakdown. Each physical server's logic groups or VMs are organized in clusters before service is continued in case the machine breaks down, temporarily welcoming a supplementary charge for the available machines.
The high level availability of Wimi's infrastructure is based on the exchangeability of all components. This exchangeability ensures system availability in the case of component failure. Each component has at least one independent backup.
Secondly, the Load Balancer HA Proxy itself will even balance the load in the direction of the application servers.
Thirdly, the applications will balance the load between different database server nodes.
Wimi's security requirements and reliability have been built from the very conception of the underlying infrastructure network.
The data centers are protected by firewalls that strictly filter all of the incoming traffic, allowing only authorized flow. This is an active preventative solution that particularly protects against denied service by analyzing the traffic and comparing the characteristics of other attacks. If the comparison is positive, the protection services become active within a few seconds.
Wimi implements exchangeability and balance of growing load, guaranteeing maximum exchangeability and the availability of our product. All of the links are, at least, doubled at each routing point, and incoming traffic is allocated to different applications and web servers. The balancing functionality of exchangeable load means that any server breakdown can be instantly managed.
Our front end server figures all external connections with a web security policy mechanism (HTTP Strict Transport Security aka HSTS).This protects our services against active and passive network attack (listening). A "man in the middle" attacker has a much reduced capacity to intercept any queries or responses between a user and our web application servers.
As well as this, Wimi benefits from network isolation. Network isolation means that all of the servers in our infrastructure are isolated within our data centers and connected by private, dedicated networks.
All files uploaded to Wimi (with version history up to 15 documents by default) are stored on servers NFS Raid6 that use SSD pro and of which the controllers have BBU emergency power supplies that are able to eliminate all partial writing potentially leading to data corruption. Each server uses 12 SSD data storage disks. The data linked to the files is replicated on 12 SSD disks so that the system can bear the loss of 2 of these disks.
The data management and backup strategy has been put in place to allow fast data recuperation in the case of minor incidents, fully limiting our exposure to major incidents.
e.g. in the case of minor incidents, (e.g.accidental deletion of data by a user) we are in the position to restore this data in a matter of hours. As well as this, we protect ourselves against major incidents by making sure that we save 100% of client data (files, BDD history) as well as the VMs and necessary configurations by reinstating them in a parallel infrastructure in a second data center.
In this way, we can assure data recovery post-disaster in the case of a major system breakdown.
Databases are saved every 3 hours so that client files can be replicated every night.
The backup servers are secure, isolated, and accessible for backup applications.
The setup of Wimi's infrastructure allows the addition of servers or virtual machines to support growth when we reach a stage that congestion has started to occur. For this, Wimi uses a substantial detection system based on continued surveillance and performance analysis of the infrastructure. The system tool collects and analyses, in real time, the data techniques of the infrastructure, and notifies the team when predefined levels of load are reached. As well as this, a dashboard allows data analysis of the infrastructure within a certain time period, and therefore it's possible to anticipate upcoming congestion.
To access the application, the user must be authorized beforehand by one of the account administrators. Wimi facilitates collaboration between internal users of the company (profiles that are present in the company directory), but also external users (e.g. clients, partners, suppliers). For internal users, Wimi offers a secure authentication via Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0 (SAML 2.0) through the TLD protocol. In the case of external users, an email address, password, and a third authentication factor (optional) will be used.
When a user submits a new password, it is crypt and compared to the cryptic version that we have in our data base.
Different applications that connect automatically to your Wimi account use a version derived from a crypt password to connect.
So in short, Wimi never saves your passwords in clear writing.
Wimi uses Single Sign-On (SSO) through the protocol SAML V2 that allows current company employees to set up user profiles.
Mobile users can access the Wimi mobile app from a diverse range of devices (iPhones, iPads, Android and tablets) available on the App store and GooglePlay. The security policy encompasses mobile devices.
All transmitted data between Wimi's infrastructure and mobile is encrypted with a heightened level of security (TLS protocol).
Once securely connected to the application, users can save, download, or upload files (as long as the corresponding access rights have been granted), be it on the user web navigator or with the help of the synchronization tool (Wimi Drive).
All transmitted data between the Wimi infrastructure and client applications are transferred in a HTTPS (TLS) tunnel protected by AES-256-GCM (Advanced Encryption Standard 256 bits in Galois/Counter Mode). The TLS certificate is signed with an RSA 2048 key.
Wimi offers specific and complete access rights management on each work space. For each participant on a workspace, this allows you to choose which modules they will have access to and under what conditions (reading only, reading and writing). As well as this, there is also access rights management available in folders and sub-folders within a workspace.
As soon as a user deletes a file, the file is moved to the workspace's trash. From the trash, the file can be retrieved by any user of the corresponding workspace. Once a file has been deleted from the trash, it is still retrievable for up to 3 months.
Wimi is operated in data centers run by a provider located in France (currently Online SAS).
The data centers have received l'ISO 50001. This standard certifies that the necessary security measures and management procedures are in place. The production data center is also certified in Tier III.
Each room in the data center is equipped with fire alarms and a system in place to distinguish fires, as well as fire doors. The data center has a double electricity source. In case of a power cut, they have generators that provide an initial autonomy of 72. Numerous security measures have been put in place to eliminate all risk of failure.
The data centers used by Wimi have maximum physical security. All local access is strictly controlled. To protect against intrusions and potential risk, the data centers are protected by barbed wire fences. Motion detectors and video surveillance systems are also in constant use. Activity outside of the data center buildings is controlled and registered on secure servers, and a surveillance team is on site 24/7.
Wimi offers companies centralized control over user accounts (creation, deactivation, or deletion) ; and each user password can be reset by a Wimi administrator. In the application, any workspace and associated access rights can be accessed, managed, and deleted by the administrators.
Wimi allows full access control of each workspace thanks to a flexible authorization system.
On the workspace, access rights management is done by modules (channel, documents, tasks, calendar, activities, and reports) and by participant with 3 levels of authorization: read only, read and modify, and access denied.
Additional access rights management allows the accessibility of certain folders and sub-folders to be limited to only specific users in that workspace.
Regarding files, users can retrieve historic versions of each file for up to 15 previous versions.
Wimi has an extremely high level of respect for the legal and regulatory framework linked to the protection of the personal data of its users.

Q: How does JS convert large numbers (above 2^53) to string Since integers above 2^53 can't be accurately represented in doubles, how does JS decide on their decimal representation when they are printed as strings?
For example, 2^55 is 36028797018963968, and printf("%lf",(double)(1LL<<55)) in C will print that number correctly, since it has trailing zeroes in its binary representation that do not cause precision loss when truncated.
However, in Javascript, we get 36028797018963970 instead. It seems to try to round numbers to get a 0 at the end, but not always - for instance, 2^55-4 is represented correctly with 4 at the end.
Is there some place in the spec that defines this weird behavior?

A:
Question- Since integers above 2^53 can't be accurately represented in doubles, how does JS decide on their decimal representation when they are printed as strings?

 1. Way of Printing decimal numbers in JS
JavaScript numbers are internally stored in binary floating point and usually displayed in the decimal system.
There are two decimal notations used by JavaScript:
Fixed notation
[ "+" | "-" ] digit+ [ "." digit+ ]

Exponential notation
[ "+" | "-" ] digit [ "." digit+ ] "e" [ "+" | "-" ] digit+

An example of exponential notation is 1.2345678901234568e+21.
Rules for Displaying decimal numbers:
A. Use exponential notation if there are more than 21 digits before the decimal point.
B. Use exponential notation if the number starts with "0." followed by more than five zeros.

 2. The ECMAScript 5.1 display algorithm
Here is a details of Sect. 9.8.1 of the ECMAScript 5.1 specification describes the algorithm for displaying a decimal number
Given a number
mantissa × 10^pointPos−digitCount

The mantissa of a floating point number is an integer – the significant digits plus a sign. Leading and trailing zeros are discarded. Examples:
  The mantissa of 12.34 is 1234.

Case-1. No decimal point: digitCount ≤ pointPos ≤ 21
Print the digits (without leading zeros), followed by pointPos−digitCount zeros.
Case-2. Decimal point inside the mantissa: 0 < pointPos ≤ 21, pointPos < digitCount
Display the pointPos first digits of the mantissa, a point and then the remaining digitCount−pointPos digits.
Case-3. Decimal point comes before the mantissa: −6 < pointPos ≤ 0
Display a 0 followed by a point, −pointPos zeros and the mantissa.
Case-4. Exponential notation: pointPos ≤ -6 or pointPos > 21
Display the first digit of the mantissa. If there are more digits then display a point and the remaining digits. Next, display the character e and a plus or minus sign (depending on the sign of pointPos−1), followed by the absolute value of pointPos−1. Therefore, the result looks as follows.
mantissa0 [ "." mantissa1..digitCount ]
     "e" signChar(pointPos−1) abs(pointPos−1)

Question-
However, in Javascript, we get 36028797018963970 instead. It seems to try to round numbers to get a 0 at the end, but not always - for instance, 2^55-4 is represented correctly with 4 at the end.
Is there some place in the spec that defines this weird behavior?

Check: How numbers are encoded in JavaScript specially ==>5. The maximum integer

Although the police may have provisionally charged you as a suspect in the case, the prosecution service may decide not to bring formal charges against you. This means that the case will not go to court. This typically happens in cases where the prosecution service does not believe that they have the evidence required to obtain a conviction. In some situations, you will be able to claim compensation if you are not formally charged. Read more about compensation.
A case concerning less serious offences may also end with your paying a fixed penalty or receiving a notice that the charges are have been dropped.
In cases which can be settled by payment of a fixed penalty amount, you will receive a fixed penalty notice from the police.
The fixed penalty notice states the offence you are charged with having committed and the amount you are ordered to pay. The fixed penalty notice states the time limit for paying the amount if you admit your guilt.
If you pay the fixed penalty amount, the case is closed.
If you do not pay the amount, the police will send the case to court.
The court will be able to convict you of the crime stated in the fixed penalty notice without further warning unless you request within the time limit stated in the notice that the case be heard before the court. The court's decision cannot be appealed.
When charges are dropped, the prosecution service believes that you are guilty, but there will be no court proceedings. You will receive a letter from the prosecution service about the decision to drop charges. The decision to drop charges may contain conditions that you will be required to meet.

This is a final blog entry about Yachana Foundation and Lodge. The number and diversity of the plants and animals that Juan showed us is too massive to portray in this blog entry (we will give some samples), and we did portray a "feel" of our walk in the old growth jungle in our videos posted on Feb. 27 immediately after we returned to Cuenca from Yachana (Yachana Reserve: A Glimpse of Primary Jungle).
However, we need to spend some time on the "cooking lesson" done for our lunch on Friday, Feb. 25. First, an "earth" snake visited the area where we were cooking, and this event excited Juan as he had not seen one in some time. After the slithering excitement, we proceeded to learn how to cook tilapia fish roasted in leaves, we ate fresh "heart of palm," and we learned how to roast palm weevils supposedly good for anything that ails you (see pics).
Our surprise visitor before lunch .
Fresh ingredients with some salt.
Randall takes instruction on how to prepare the fish in a leaf so it can be roasted.
Fresh "heart of palm" with salt and lime juice. It all disappeared.
Harold had boasted he eats anything and he is presented with palm weevils.
Although the weevils can be eaten "uncooked" - Harold opted for roasted.
We all ate roasted weevils and Julie said it tasted like bacon. All agreed.
Juan showed us the source of Luffa Sponges.
Toucan picture taken through the telescope.
We went downriver by canoe to Coca from the lodge (two hours) and then flew from Coca to Quito on this plane. We took a different flight from Quito to home in Cuenca.
If it tastes like bacon, it must be good!

Q: C++ thread side effects I'm performing many operations on a array and would like to multi-thread it using pthreads. How can I have multiple threads access and edit the same array concurrently? I will algorithmically prevent memory assess collisions, so that is not a concern.
I am manipulating a class, which is essentially a wrapper to turn an array of object into a 2D matrix, with several useful methods to simplify this task. Each cell is being manipulated separably to every other, so I was planning to pass the same object to 4 identical threads, but give each thread a different part to work on.
I've never used threading properly before, and this mess of (seemingly unnecessary) voids and pointers is confusing me a little.

Age, Gender, and Vitamin D Use Predict Regression of Barrett's Esophagus – Results From a Retrospective Cohort of 2563 Patients
Craig S Brown, Chi Wang, PhD, Jay L Goldstein, MD, John G Linn, MD, Ervin W Denham, MD, Stephen P Haggerty, MD, Mark S Talamonti, MD, John A Howington, MD, Michael B Ujiki, MD. NorthShore University Health Systems, Pritzker School of Medicine at the University of Chicago.
Introduction: Barrett's esophagus is the most predictive risk factor for development of esophageal adenocarcinoma, a malignancy with the fastest increasing incidence rate in the US. Currently, there is a lack of consensus as to the proper management of patients who have a positive biopsy followed by a negative biopsy during a subsequent endoscopy. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in exposures, demographics, and comorbidities between patients who regress and those who do not regress.
Methods and Procedures: We retrospectively collected and analyzed data from a cohort of Barrett's Esophagus patients participating in this single-center study comprised of all patients diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus at NorthShore University Health Systems hospitals and clinics over a 10 year period. Patients were followed in order to identify those progressing from Barrett's Esophagus to high-grade dysplasia (HGD), esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), or those regressing to no Barrett's. Mean follow up period was 5.4 years (9088 patient-years). We collected information from the patient's electronic medical records regarding demographic data, endoscopic findings, histological findings, exposures, and history of antireflux surgery. Chi–squared and student's t-tests were performed where appropriate.
Results: This study included 2563 total Barrett's esophagus patients, 473 of which had their Barrett's esophagus regress (had a negative endoscopy confirmed by biopsy). The group that regressed was 53.1% male, while the group that did not regress was 64.8% male (p<0.0001). Mean age was 65.1 (±13.6) and 61.8(±13.2) years for non-regressing and regressing patients, respectively (p<0.0001). No difference was seen in BMI between groups, with non-regressing patients having a mean BMI of 28.04±10.47 compared to regressing patients at 28.13±12.70 (p=0.88). No difference was seen between groups with respect to PPI use (91.1% using for non-regressing patients vs 93.5% using for regressed patients, p=0.12). Interestingly, groups differed in their rates of vitamin D use, with regressing groups taking vitamin D more commonly (48.1%) than those who did not regress (37.9%) (p=0.0001). As expected, groups differed with respect to their segment length at diagnosis. The group that regressed had an average segment length of 3.28 cm±3.07 cm, in contrast to the group that did not regress which had an average length of 1.46 cm±1.66 cm (p<0.0001). Interestingly, not a single patient in the regression group progressed to HGD/EAC, while 47 patients of the non-regressing patients in the cohort progressed to HGD/EAC, a result that was found to be independent of long segment vs. short segment on multivariate analysis (p=0.029).
Conclusions: Currently, several studies have shown risk factors that can predict progression from non-dysplastic Barrett's esophagus to HGD/EAC, but few if any studies are available investigating predictors for regression. Our study reports several factors that can be used to predict patients who will regress from Barrett's esophagus and those who likely will not, tools that will be useful in tailoring therapeutic and surveillance strategies.

Baby Watch -- Jude Law May Be Preggers!
As Nicole Richie and Christina Aguilera have become Kitson Kids regulars, now there's one more future baby farmer to add to the list -- Jude Law!
Jude exuded that special glow in New York yesterday, by pulling a "Richie" -- covering his tum-tum with a pillow to protect his growing manly middle bits. Although Jude is not romantically linked to any one person, he could be knocked up by any number of women, including ex Sienna Miller and his former nanny!


Rosa Parks, the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement" was one of the most important citizens of the 20th century. Mrs. Parks was a seamstress in Montgomery, Alabama when, in December of 1955, she refused to give up her seat on a city bus to a white passenger.

Will Writing & Lasting Power of Attorney: expert jargon-free advice. Professional service for Wills, LPAs, Funeral Plans… peace of mind. Stevenage, Herts.
Karen did my will for me. I can't recommend her enough. Was very helpful and explained everything in a way a younger person would understand. Thank you very much!
Karen Greenall is a Stevenage Women In Business colleague and over the past few year I have had the pleasure of getting to know her better. As she is always approachable and pleasant to talk to, I asked if she would kindly advise on the wills for my husband and I with a view to possibly drafting the documents on our behalf if we felt comfortable to proceed. I wasn't sure what to expect and assumed it would all be very complicated, given that we both have children from first marriages. Karen made the whole process clear and straight forward, with her professional but personable manner, her clear explanations and asking the right questions to elicit the relevant information from my husband and I. Within one meeting in the comfort of our own home, we had enough information for a draft to be drawn up. I would recommend Karen's approach and professionalism to anyone who is considering drafting or revising their will(s); I will be working with her soon with regards Lasting Power of Attorney.
Having recently made our will, I can highly recommend ARK Lasting Powers and Will services, offered in the comfort of your own home. We both felt so completely at ease discussing our future wishes with Karen and even set in place our Lasting power of attorney at the same time as both services are very reasonably priced.
It is never going to be easy making decisions for your future, however there may be things you have to face in the future in which you may not be able to deal with at that time. If you are like us and have been putting it off for years, do it asap to ensure your future wishes are met.
Thank you Karen for a professional service and for answering so many of questions we had.
So relieved our will is now in place.
I contacted Karen from A.R.K. to make a Will after seeing her advert in the local magazine. I wasn't sure what to expect but she put me at ease from the very first time we spoke. She was very friendly and easy to talk to given the sensitive nature of her visit. She explained everything in simple terms so it was all easy to understand. I also went on to do a Funeral Plan and 2 Lasting Powers of Attorney with her all at a very reasonable cost. There was no pressured sales pitch just sympathetic and informed advice. I would highly recommend Karen's services and my daughter is going to make an appointment with her. Thank you Karen for making the whole experience stress free.
We wanted to write to thank you for taking time to speak to our employees at Home-Start Hertfordshire. The clear and professional advice given was valuable to the team. More importantly the information can be used to speak to families about ensuring that they have made adequate provision for their children.
You were able to show the importance of family preparation in a way that was not dramatic but clear and user friendly.
I know that a number of staff members have since contacted you for further assistance and they speak very highly of your service.
I would have no hesitation in recommending you to other organisations, individuals and especially children's charities in the UK. Thank You.
My wife and I had wills drawn up but they were written in such a way we couldn't work out if our wishes were completely covered. We had already signed up with a National Will writing company only to discover that we had been misinformed about what we could include. During a chance conversation with my son he recommended Karen, being a friend of her husband, and right from the start she understood our requirements and was able to put together two draft wills that required no alteration before producing original wills. Everything is now as we want it and our thanks to Karen for the professional manner in which she conducted herself.
Just wanted to say thanks for the funeral plan my mum died last week and its made everything so much easier.
Fab! Thanks Karen. You and Jo have been excellent. We are so pleased with everything. Thank you!
We needed a will. In fact, with two properties and a blended family, it was long overdue.
Things were complicated in more than one area. Not knowing what to do with all the tricky bits was putting us off going ahead and sorting it out.
Karen at ARK Lasting Powers and Wills came and listened to our quandary and with her sensitive suggestions and knowledge, we were able to come up with something that we were happy to take forward for discussion.
Draft wills were produced, along with a clear guide and explanation to all the technical jargon and we were given plenty of time to discuss and review. Changes were implemented without fuss and final will was presented in a timely manner.
Karen was professional, knowledgeable and a friendly cheerful face to consult in what is a sombre subject. But she made it simple, easy and matter of fact.
If you need a will, I would highly recommend consulting Karen of ARK Lasting Powers and Wills.
Karen has a very friendly yet professional nature, she is very helpful and took all the stress out of writing our wills. With great attention to detail she gave very good advice. Great to be able to do from the comfort of our own home. Highly recommend.
I used Ark lasting powers and wills to help my elderly friends get organised and not worry about their funeral arrangements, wills and lasting power of attorney's.
They were so pleased how Julie made them feel completely at ease and discussed everything with kindness, care and attention to detail.
No one really looks forward to doing funeral arrangements but my friends feel so happy and relieved they have now done it and have put the paperwork away and and forget about it, but know everything is in place which has given them total peace of mind.
We have no hesitation at all in recommending Julie, my friends could not speak any more highly of her and I also thought she was absolutely brilliant.
Karen was great she explained everything about the will process really simply. She wanted to make sure I was happy about the whole process too. Fantastic and friendly service. 5 Stars.

Wawa and the Philly accent go global, thanks to Kate Winslet and SNL
A comedy skit featuring a trailer for a crime show called "Murdur Durder" was livestreamed around the world.

Chatter over Kate Winslet's transformation into a character from the Philly region for "Mare of Easttown" jumped another shark level over the past week, going from being part of the national discourse to a topic of global interest, thanks to a new Saturday Night Live skit.
The British actor's deft adoption of the Delco accent has been widely praised, with linguists noting it's one of the hardest to master, and locals admitting Winslet mostly got hoagiemouth right.
Talk on Friday was all about Wawa. In an L.A. Times podcast, Winslet described what it was like to finally visit a real-life location after studying the brand so deeply in prep for her role in the HBO murder mystery series.
She gushed about being "awestruck" by the "mythical" convenience chain, which was founded in Delaware County. ("Mare" writer-director Brad Ingelsby, a Berwyn native, has said the show is set in a fictional Delco town.)
Celebrity news outlets from Today to Page Six covered Winslet's reaction. Well-known Philadelphia media personalities like The 19th's Errin Haines and CNN's Jake Tapper weighed in to agree with the assessment, which kicked off another round of Wawa vs. Sheetz among Pa. elected officials.
Then came the Saturday Night Live skit, taking the conversation worldwide.
On what was the show's first internationally livestreamed episode (thanks, Elon Musk) SNL producers created a segment purporting to be a trailer for a series featuring cast member Kate McKinnon as "a grizzled lady detective…with a very specific accent."
With her hair pulled back in a messy ponytail just like Winslet's in "Mare," McKinnon speaks her opening lines about finding someone's daughter's dead body in a thick accent that presages the joke show's title.
"Murdur Durder: An extremely Pennsylvania crime show," reads the overlay.
As a narrator sets the location as "somewhere between New York and DC," captions go on to list various other big cities, but never bring Philadelphia onto the screen. (No one likes us, we don't care.)
"You've seen dead teens in Chicago, New York, and Boston. But what about another city…with very specific whites," the narrator intones. "Pennsylvania whites."
SNL producers are making a good point. The accent in question, which Upper Darby native Tina Fey has brought to the comedy show many times in the past, is not exactly the Philly accent — or if it is, it's the accent of white Philadelphians, and only some of them. (Check out this video to see how the accent changes around the city.)
With its elongated Os, clipped As, guttural "au"s, and soft-slurred consonants, what Winslet mastered — and the segment is poking fun at — is more accurately described as the Delco accent.
Of course Wawa makes a showing in the clip, with McKinnon admonishing her fellow police officers for chowing down at a crime scene: "Would youse guys quit eatin' Wawa hoagies over the bodies." There are shouts to both of the city's famous sports mascots: Gritty lurks in the woods, and McKinnon's "pop pop's pop pop was the original Phillie Phanatic."
A couple of bits make it seem like the SNL writers could be the butt of one of their own jabs, that screenwriters "clearly Googled" the area to buttress regional authenticity.
One is a reference to "Jagoff Bridge" as detectives are poring over a map. While not unheard of in the Philly region, "jagoff" is much more widely used in Pittsburgh, where people claim it as part of the local dialect.
Then there's the scene where McKinnon hands a colleague a cheesesteak and a Yuengling. No question the beer brand is found in nearly every Philly bar, where it's often referred to simply as "a lager," but Philadelphia has plenty of other local faves. In "Mare of Easttown," Winslet's character drinks Rolling Rock instead.
Overall, the SNL segment is pretty accurate. The kicker even takes a harsh jab at the child sexual abuse scandal that rocked the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, which saw dozens of priests placed on administrative leave.
The clip ends with a semi-accurate statement, one that the U.S. president has embraced (he was born in Scranton, while his wife is more of a "Philly girl").
"Murdur Durder," the SNL narrator says. "This is where Joe Biden's from. Wow."

If a Service Member (military; first responder) you know has gone through something horrible, but they can't talk about it, you are not alone. Isolation and withdrawal is a common coping mechanism. Trauma can lead to a disorder called PTSD. PTSD has the effect of making it seem that the horrible event keeps on happening over and over.
Psychologists try to identify three kinds of symptoms to make the diagnosis of PTSD.
psychic numbing (unable to feel connection to the positive in life).
Psychic numbing tends to be the most predictive of true PTSD, and it also turns out to have the greatest impact on marital life. Life with someone who has changed into someone who is grumpy and angry all the time is difficult to tolerate, to be sure. Psychologists think cutting oneself off from others has something to do with not being able to feel safe, even though the Service Member is not in danger anymore.
Research just published (2012) found that military veterans with relationship problems are 2.7 times more likely to develop major depression and 3.7 times more likely to develop an alcohol use disorder. Starting couples counseling with a service member is hard, and staying in couples counseling is even harder. But there is hope. If the two of you can get help with how communication is working in your relationship, there is a chance that serious symptoms in your loved one will decrease.


Camp Muir / Muir Snowfield Backcountry Telemark Ski in Mount Rainier National Park 051307!
Doerte leading the group up below Panorama Point.
We try to do the annual Mothers Day trip to Camp Muir each year. This year we had had a high reassure moving in on Sunday so we were optimistic for a nice day. There were still big walls of snow at the Paradise Parking lot, but not very many people. Most everyone was over at their Mom's house, doing gardening, repairing her car, or riding bikes.
There were a few skiers, mostly telemarkers, and some boarders and alpine skiers. There were some hikers, and climbers. Sunscreen, as always was the order of the day. Although on ascent the sun is at our backs, the reflection off the snow is quite intense.
Visibility is essential for this trip up the Muir Snowfield. We had none, so Mike Mahanay, Doerte, Alyssa, and Beck opted to do a ski tour from Panorama Point over toward Mazama Ridge. Michael Balise and Magda Moss continued up to the Muir Snowfield. We all carried the normal emergency equipment.
Even in the best of weather it is essential to carry the appropriate gear. We spent the day with gloves, and gortex jackets. It was just cold enough to snow.
The climb to Camp Muir is a full day event that gives the skier a fantastic long run down the Muir snowfield after a long day of climbing. The climb to 10,188 feet is a challenging one! This ski trip is wonderful in good weather and should only be done when visibility is reliable. A GPS or using wands will help if the weather turns bad while you are on the mountain, but a whiteout will not allow you to have that great day of turns you are looking for.
This trip is highly recommended for hikers, climbers, and skiers. If you have not been to Camp Muir, it should be very high on your short list for the summer. It is not a wilderness trip (unless the weather is bad) where you won't meet a soul, but the people are friendly, and having a good time. The views are some of the best there is!
Mike Beck and Alyssa checking out the route.
All they could see was white!
The snow was in excellent condition! The snow was packed and firm underneath with 4-8 inches of soft new snow on top.

Mount Rainier is the most hazardous volcano in the Cascades in terms of its potential for magma water interaction and sector collapse, and major eruptions or debris flows even without eruption. The last eruption was about 150 years ago.
In 1857, a well documented attempt to climb Mount Rainier was made by an Army lieutenant, August Valentine Kautz. He was stationed at Fort Steilacoom and had the mountain practically in his backyard. He developed a great desire to reach it's summit and with some companions hired a Nisqually Indian as their guide and headed for the foot of the Nisqually Glacier in July. After 6 days of traveling through forest and thicket, they finally began their climb up toward the summit. By the eighth day, Wahpowety the Nisqually guide, was suffering from snow blindness. His companions gave out as well, but Kautz went forward and continued until he reached what was probably the 14,000 feet level. He was about 400 feet shy of the summit. It was a great disappointment, however he proved that legends of Indians climbing Mount Rainier could be true. Mount Rainier could be climbed.
In 1890, Fay Fuller became the first woman to climb Mount Rainier. The interest of climbing the mountain, enjoying the scenery and waters continued to grow. The culmination of this increasing interest came on 02 March 1899, when President McKinley signed the act establishment of Mount Rainier National Park, the nation's fifth national park.
Finally some turns that were not in the fog!
A well done teleturn is a beautiful thing!
In spite of the poor visibility we had the maximum fun! Sign me up for the next one!
Beck making some perfect teleturns turns!
Meanwhile, and a couple thousand feet above our fun were Michael and Magda on wonderful snow and sunny blue skies!
We had six hours of touring, 6 miles, and 2,000' of skiing.
Michael and Magda had 4,600' of skiing! 8.2 miles, 4,600' elevation gain.


Project management is a highly transferable skill, so it's common to find project managers wanting to check out other industries after spending some time working in one area.
And the good news, it's highly possible. If you want to make the shift from running computer software projects to launching insurance products or working in green manufacturing, you can. Core project management skills like tracking your project, running successful project meetings, and risk management are the same regardless of your industry.
There are lots of reasons why you might want to change industries. The most obvious one is that you have lost your job and are looking for a new one, and don't want to restrict yourself to only vacancies in your past industry.
You also might want a new challenge. Moving from one industry to another is a great way to gain experience and exposure to other ways of working, products, and environments.
This is a more common reason to change industries than you might think. A 2015 global survey by LinkedIn says that 21 percent of Millennials—those ages 18–35—switch jobs because they are interested in trying out a new industry. It's 11 percent for those ages 36–50. The door isn't closed for Baby Boomers either; seven percent of them report changing jobs for the opportunity to test out another industry.
Perhaps you've noticed that your own industry is on the decline and you want to make the jump now. Or perhaps your company isn't performing as well as it could, and you're worried about the future stability of your current role. Changing industries is also a way to get paid more as a project manager.
Whatever your reason for looking for a new career in project management, you can put your skills to use in a different industry.
Project management in the IT industry is different from construction project management or project management in healthcare, but not because the project management core skills are different. If you are seriously committed to changing industries, you can definitely make the switch. Here are some things you can do to help you succeed in a new career industry.
First, you'll want to find out as much as you can about your new or target industry. Whether it's your first day in a manufacturing firm or you are just testing the waters with your contacts in retail to find out if you'd like a role there, ask questions.
Keep a note of the answers that you receive from your expert contacts. You can turn these into process maps or crib sheets. These will help you at interview and in your first few weeks in a new role. The more you know about what you are getting into, the more confident you will feel.
Joining a new industry is easier if you can prove to a recruiter that you are seriously interested in it. Taking classes is one of the ways that you can do that. There are plenty of short online courses that you can take without investing a lot of money. MOOCs (massive open online courses) are a good place to start, as these are free and often run by universities with fantastic reputations.
Once you have joined a company in a new industry, see what classes they can offer you, too. Consider internal and external courses. The faster you get confident with the subject matter and details about the industry and how the company works, the faster you'll feel like you are really making a difference. Then you can get on and enjoy your new career.
Many industries have professional bodies that offer introductory certificates in the subject matter. As a project manager, you won't need to know the ins and outs of insurance legislation or how to sell insurance products, but you might benefit from an introductory certificate in the industry basics as this will cover all the terminology you are likely to come across on those projects.
Generally, all the options open to you that you used when you studied to become a project manager are open to you studying about a new industry.
Meet up with people in your target industry, or the one you have just joined. Your new employer might have professional or informal networking opportunities, or look at what is available locally to you.
It is an easy way to make new connections in your new or target industry and ask the questions that you might not want to ask your employer.
A mentor is someone you can talk to informally. They generally have a lot of experience in their field and are prepared to share that with you. Getting a mentor when you join a new industry is a good way to quickly tap into a wealth of experience that wouldn't otherwise be available to you.
Having someone at the end of the phone or messaging app can give you confidence when you want to ask a quick question or gain clarity on a particular element of your project.
In fact, mentors are valuable in all areas of professional project management life: regardless of your career path, it's good to invest in a mentor relationship if you can.
It's likely that your industry has a professional group of its own (probably the body that administers and regulates the industry qualifications). Join. Even if all you do is read the organization's magazine, it will help you stay up-to-date with the challenges of the industry and boost your knowledge.
Professional groups also have networking opportunities. Check out their online forums if you can't make it to any of the events in person. Often conferences or seminars are recorded and the videos made available for members for free.
Read everything you can about your industry. Specifically, the areas related to the first projects you are working on for your new employer. It will help you make a bigger contribution more quickly.
Project management is project management, right? Yes, but once you are in a different industry, there are some quirks to be aware of. It can be severely career limiting to go into a new commercial organization and assume that you know everything just because you have 20 years of experience in non-profits.
Be aware of what might be subtly different, and this will help you transition to your new industry more quickly, and with less friction. Here are 3 things to watch out for.
This is the main barrier to switching industries smoothly. Even acronyms that you have used for years might mean something else in your company. Keep a running glossary of terms that you have heard and add the explanations. Note down jargon in meetings and then check your understanding later.
People will be happy to help clarify what terms mean if you ask them, so ask. It can save a lot of embarrassment. Just remember to update your personal glossary, so you don't ask the same question several times because you've forgotten. There can be a lot of new languages to take in when you first start out, so set yourself up a document to capture it—something that you can look back on when you need it.
Different industries have different competitive pressures. Where time to market might be paramount when building smartphone apps, a quality outcome (even if that means taking a little longer) might be more appropriate elsewhere.
The challenges facing healthcare are not the same as those in oil and gas, and the professional services industry is going to look very different from your previous experience running government projects.
Research is your friend. Build your strategic perspective on the industry as quickly as you can. All the networking, questions and professional ready that you are doing will set you up well to quickly adapt to the new pressures of a different industry.
Your familiar project management processes might not travel as well as you had hoped, so be prepared to tweak them for your new environment. For example, health and safety might be front of mind for engineering and construction, but shift to a low-risk office environment for an insurance firm, and you probably won't find dedicated health and safety plans for every project.
IT security is crucial, but when you aren't dealing with ransomware threats, your new company's approach to security could well be structured differently.
Your team might be set up in a different project organization structure, one that perhaps you aren't as used to.
Equally, may need to make the shift to Agile project management or vice versa.
Be open to the different project management practices that you might find in your new industry. You can quickly adapt to them once you know what is expected of you.
Finally, don't hesitate to (tactfully) suggest ways that existing practices could be changed. It is likely that you were recruited from outside their industry partly to bring new insights and a fresh pair of eyes to some of the project management processes that they are currently working with. You'll soon work out if your boss isn't prepared to listen to your ideas.
Careers in project management transfer easily because you have a lot of the skills that will help you be a success in your new roles. Communication skills, for example, are the same whichever industry you work in.
However, you'll need to use your initiative to make a success of switching to a new industry. Remember, even your dream project management job has its highs and lows. Plan your career switch, build your skills during those first months in a new industry, and, hopefully, you'll have fewer lows than highs. You'll grow your confidence knowing that switching industries was the best career move for you.

Inside Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's Thanksgiving Celebration With Daughter Stormi
The former couple recently added fuel to reconciliation rumors after they hinted on their social media accounts that they wore matching pajamas while celebrating the festivity together.
AceShowbiz - More details about Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott (II)'s Thanksgiving reunion in Palm Springs have emerged online. Multiple reports claimed that the Grammy-nominated rapper was invited to celebrate the festivity together with her family at Kris Jenner's home in Palm Springs over the weekend, even though the two are no longer dating.
A source told PEOPLE, "They celebrate all the big holidays together with Stormi. It was the same for Thanksgiving Travis was invited to Kris' Palm Springs house," adding that Kendall Jenner and Khloe Kardashian were also present at the time. The source also noted that everything went great during the celebration, as both Travis and Kylie seemed "happy."
"Kylie and Travis are good. They get along and seem happy whenever they are together. They are all about making sure Stormi has a happy life," the insider notes. "They are not officially back together, but you can tell that they still love each other."
While in Palm Springs, the group also enjoyed time together at the Agua Caliente casino, and footage of their outing has since been circulating online. E! News reported that Travis and the Kardashians played games like Blackjack and Poker in addition to having drinks together there.
An eyewitness told the site, "They all stuck together at one table before Khloe went over to join her friends for a game. Kylie and Travis then got up together and got drinks. They were strolling slowly, watching some of the table games, and were followed by Kylie's security. They seemed very close. There was no PDA or anything romantic, but they seemed happy to be together. They whispered in each other's ears a lot and laughed. They were having a good time."
Following their fun-filled night out at the casino, the group headed back to Kris' house for the night, according to the source. And it appeared Travis stayed the night there because on Sunday, December 1 both Travis and Kylie shared on their own social accounts a glimpse of them wearing matching pajamas.
"Holiday vibes cause it's the first," Travis wrote alongside a photo of him wearing a green Christmas-themed pants. Meanwhile, Kylie posted a video of her baking some cakes. She could be seen wearing the same pajamas as Travis, prompting people to further speculate that the two are back together.
Kylie and Travis broke up in October after more than a year of dating. Recently, the two sparked rumors that they give their failed relationship another chance after the "Sicko Mode" rapper called the makeup mogul his "wifey" during his Astroworld Festival. He also said, "Love you," after she sent him a floral arrangement that spelled out "Astroworld" to congratulate him on his music event.

Indirect-Lightning Performance of Overhead Distribution Networks With Complex Topology
The paper deals with the evaluation of the indirect-lightning performance of overhead distribution networks. The novelty of this contribution is that it takes into account the inherent complexity of d... see moreistribution networks. These networks are indeed characterized by a plurality of lines (main feeder and laterals) and also by the presence of typical power components (e.g., transformers and surge arresters); they consequently differ considerably from the straight line configuration generally adopted in this type of studies.
To accomplish such an evaluation we have extended the general procedure already presented in a previous paper based on the use of the LIOV code along with the Monte Carlo method. The extended procedure combines the advantage of the LIOV-EMTP computer code—that allows the calculation of lightning-induced voltages in complex distribution networks—with a heuristic technique specifically developed and integrated in the Monte Carlo routine in order to reduce the computational effort. The application of the proposed procedure to a set of distribution overhead networks characterized by different topologies, but all of the same length, shows that, in general, the usual single straight-line approach may result into a misestimation of the indirect-lightning performance. The paper also analyzes and discusses the influence of both the line terminations, and the position of the line poles.

The influence of the high-frequency model adopted for the representation of the power transformer on the calculation results is analyzed, with regards to two different models, both identified and validated by means of laboratory measurements: namely, a simple π of capacitances, and the more complex one introduced by Morched, Marti, and Ottevangers in 1993. Accurate simulation results provide information on the adequacy of both models for the calculations of interest. Additional results, useful to evaluate the expected level of power quality and the benefits achievable by a proper installation of protection devices, are presented making reference to a realistic and complex configuration of an overhead distribution system

CFO Stephanie Doughty: Leading Strong Metrics at Poudre Valley
- Friday, May 11th, 2012 Print	| Email
Last August, Moody's Investors Service affirmed the A2 credit rating of Fort Collins, Colo.-based Poudre Valley Health System, and CFO Stephanie Doughty and the rest of the executive team have led the charge to keep the private, non-profit health system financially solvent.
Ms. Doughty oversees the treasury functions, patient business services, coding, payor relations, materials management and overall financial planning of PVHS, which received the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 2008.
Moody's has long considered PVHS to be one of the most fiscally stable health systems in the country. In its affirmation (pdf), Moody's analysts said Ms. Doughty and PVHS recorded a strong 2010 fiscal year. PVHS had a 17.7 percent operating cash flow margin, a 3.1 debt-to-cash flow ratio, an 89 percent market share in Fort Collins and 230 days of cash on hand.
Before joining PVHS in 1998, Ms. Doughty served as CFO of St. Anthony's Hospital, part of the BayCare Health System, in St. Petersburg, Fla. She also worked with Bayfront Medical Center, also in St. Petersburg, for 10 years as the controller and vice president of finance and with Englewood (Fla.) Community Hospital as the controller.
A certified public accountant and a member of the American Institute of CPAs, Ms. Doughty also serves on the governing boards of an ambulatory surgery center joint venture and a sub-acute rehabilitation joint venture, among others.

I'll be dating a beautiful Ukranian woman next week. I'm just taking her out to some fine dining. I don't have any expectations. I just want to have an enjoyable time. I am really into poetry. My favorite poem of all time is by Catallus, who wrote the famous poem Sweet Lesbia. But I'm afraid she won't understand the poem translated in English. Can you tell me a poem that is comparable, in the original Ukranian language, where I might surprise her, giving it to her? Does the Ukraine have such a poet or poem? If you could send it to me, I'd really appreciate it. My email is bravenewworld@hotmail.com. Thank you.

Widgets can be built within the LiveCode platform and used to wrap functionality in external libraries or each of the operating systems LiveCode supports.
The new features in LiveCode 8 are intended to empower a new audience of app makers. Some of these include nine pre-made widgets, 46 new extensions, the all new LiveCode Builder language, a 3.5x performance boost, Script Only stacks for better version control and working in teams, LiveCode for HTML5 and a new Feature Exchange for community funding of new features, among others.


Toyota Industries provides the technology to power local sign company's added service.
Summerville, SC -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/15/2012 -- Georgia's Signs, a Charleston area owned and operated graphic design and sign company has formally announced a new digitized design and embroidery service for their clients.
"Although we have been doing this type of work for awhile, we have never really publicized it on our website and many of our clients have no idea we have the capability to put out professional, high-end embroidered and monogrammed products, thanks in part to our two Toyota ESP910s," says owner Georgia Roellig.
Most people only know Toyota as the automobile giant, but Toyota got its start in 1926 as the inventor of manual and machine powered looms. Their Toyoda Automatic Loom, Type G was an innovation that changed the industry. Years later they are still creating innovative textile technology as well as their well known automobiles and companies like Georgia's Signs are enjoying similar innovative technology to expand their business as Toyota provides for its cars.
At Georgia's Signs, the two Toyota machines to good use, creating custom embroidery products for their clients to help create a greater sense of identity.
"We can do custom embroidery and monogramming, whether you need a full logo embroidered on a sweatshirt, embroidered hat, monogramming, corporate shirts or personalized purses, t-shirts, or towels," Roellig explains. "We can take a client's design and digitize it or we can help them create something completely new. It is a great way for businesses, churches and schools to promote their group at a very affordable cost."
Georgia's Signs, LLC provides quality embroidery, screen printing, custom signs, vehicle wraps and much more in a very customer friendly atmosphere. The equipment is state-of-the-art, while the service is 'down home' and welcoming. Customers can bring in their own designs or get the help they need to create attention getting signs and promotional products for their business or group.
