Thousands of attendees descended on the Javits Center for National Retail Federation's Big Show this week, eager to learn more about retail technology trends, build their network, and stroll through the exhibit hall to grab branded stress balls and free pens.
For vendors, exhibiting at a tradeshow such as NRF is a massive investment — months of marketing meetings, booth design decisions, email marketing to nudge prospects to swing by the booth, and hundreds of thousands of dollars. When it's over, companies may have made a great impression on some prospects, met up with some customers, and scanned a bunch of badges to gather emails for follow-up in the coming months. Sounds fine, right?
Industry tradeshows should be an opportunity to gather top-of-funnel leads while strategically engaging with high-value prospects through account-based marketing. Don't leave ABM out of your tradeshow marketing strategy in 2019! Here are a few of our favorite ways to do it.
Send meeting invites the right way. Before the show, select a few prospects or customers that your team would consider a home run to meet with during the event. A generic "Come see us at booth 123!" automated email won't cut it for these prospects. Send a tailored and personalized direct mail piece or letter to stand out from the pack that demonstrates why meeting with you at the show is a smart business decision and worth the time. For example, do you know of any business initiatives at the account that your solution can help with? Offer to have a conversation about their key priorities at the show. In your outreach, demonstrate that you're tuned into the account and aren't thinking of them as just another lead. For instance, is your prospect speaking on a panel or during a session at some point? Wish them luck and if possible, tie your solution to the topic of their presentation.
Don't miss out on priceless account insights.Take every opportunity to attend sessions and panels where your key named accounts are speaking. ABM relies on a foundation of solid research, and there may be no better place to uncover the wealth of information you'll learn about a company's business initiatives and technology priorities than an industry tradeshow! Take great notes at these sessions and leverage them when you get back from the show to create personalized ABM campaigns. For instance, if the Home Depot CIO talks about the importance of customer data during a panel at a tradeshow, your campaign strategy for Home Depot can focus on how your solution supports that priority.
Take advantage of in-person experiences. Consider selecting 15-20 key prospects that are attending a tradeshow and host an invitation-only executive event the day before when everyone is in town. While a mini-seminar like this, whether a half-day or full-day of content, is a lot of work to put together, everything from the agenda to your invitations to your follow-up offers the chance for personalization and account-based selling. Even a cocktail hour at a local restaurant for a set of key prospects during the show can be a great way to network, personalize your outreach, and make your key prospects feel like they're part of an exclusive group.
This year, focus less on picking which color stress ball you'll pass out in the booth and more on how to turn your trade show line-up into a strategic ABM opportunity.

For the Kids: Defining the Best Interests Standard
Home Blog Family Law For the Kids: Defining the Best Interests Standard
In domestic law and litigation, the majority of decisions and findings are based on what is in the best interests of the child(ren)1. For example, in determining initial custody or whether to modify custody, the best interests of the child are paramount and the state statutes defining the elements/information to be reviewed use the language of "best interests"2.
But what exactly is the definition of the best interest standard? Put simply, it is truly what is best for the child. However, this is obviously a vague standard that is open to much interpretation. The statutes help break down the standard, and provide further clues as to pinpointing what is in a child's best interests.
An example that occurs in almost every divorce and paternity case is an initial determination of custody. While joint physical and legal custody is an option, it is not generally the "norm" or standard in domestic law cases. As such, there is often a determination for which parent will be the "custodial" parent.
By looking to the statute regarding custody, one then can glean some of the definitions/factors of what is in the child's best interest. For example, the custody statute looks to the age and sex of the child. This shows that what is best for one child might not be for another child who is older or younger, or the opposite gender. Also, the statute calls for the Court to look at the interactions the child has with his/her parents and siblings. The best interest of the child is therefore, at least partially, determined by his/her familial relationships and the bonds between parents and siblings.
The custody statute also looks to the child's adjustment to his/her school, home, and community. Thus, the foundations and everyday surroundings of children and their adjustment to same are factors in determining what is in their best interests. The mental and physical health of all parties involved is also a factor. So, if the child or parent(s) has a mental or physical illness, this may affect what is in the child's best interests. For example, it is likely not in the best interests for a child with down syndrome who is bonded with a parent and is receiving treatment and services for same to be removed from this secure environment.
"Best interests" is a broad term of art, and may be overwhelming and confusing if not taken in context with related laws and statutes as defined by the Indiana Legislature. Understanding examples and factors that determine what is in the child's best interests can help sort out and narrow this idea.
We hope that this blog post has been helpful in exploring some examples of a child's best interests. Ciyou & Dixon, P.C. practices throughout the state of Indiana. This blog post was written by attorney, Jessica Keyes.

El cunerisme era la pràctica, corrent en el sistema de la Restauració borbònica, de presentar candidats externs al país a les eleccions a diputats a Corts i senadors, candidats sense relació amb les realitats econòmiques, socials o culturals de la circumscripció, i desconeixedors per complet d'aquestes. Els candidats cuners eren imposats des del Govern i normalment es tractava de figures del partit o compromisos personals i polítics que eren col·locats a territoris controlats pel caciquisme per a la seva elecció sense dificultats. La paraula cunero, per tant, s'aplicava al diputat electe per un districte amb el qual no el lligaven més vincles que els de la recomanació oficial. El cunerisme anava junt amb la pràctica de l'encasellat ("encasillado"), o nominació des del Govern Civil de la província dels candidats que havien de sortir elegits.

Cunerisme a Catalunya
En l'estudi fet per Joan Palomas i Moncholi es constata que de 144 parlamentaris elegits a Catalunya en el període 1876-1885, 42 es poden considerar cuneros. El cunerisme és destacable a Lleida, amb un 55% de parlamentaris cuners respecte de tots els personatges del període. El cunerisme es concentra a la zona de muntanya i de la part oriental de la província. En alguns casos, es tracta de personatges que obtenen la seva acta de diputat reiteradament pel mateix lloc. Aquest és el cas de Rafael Cabezas a Tremp, de Luís de León y Cataumbert a Sort, dels Alonso Martínez (pare i fill) a Cervera i de Manuel de Azcárraga a Solsona. La Seu d'Urgell és un altre districte amb predomini cuner, però sense la fixació d'un mateix personatge dels districtes anteriors. Cal esmentar també els germans Vivanco, de procedència del sud peninsular, però que acaben naturalitzant-se a la zona, i per això no se'ls pot considerar pròpiament cuneros.

Segueix en l'ordre de demarcacions amb presència de cunerisme la província de Tarragona, tot i que ja a una considerable distància de la de Lleida. Aquí el fenomen cunero se situa en un 24% (enfront del 55% de Lleida).

Segueix Girona, amb un índex de cunerisme per sota del de Tarragona (18%). D'aquests diputats cuners, cal destacar la reiterada presència de José Álvarez Mariño a Vilademuls, personatge que, no obstant, es mostrà en sintonia amb les demandes de les corporacions econòmiques catalanes. El districte de Figueres té en dues ocasions diputats cuners, Santa Coloma de Farners i Olot en tenen un cadascun, tot i que en el cas d'Olot es tracta de Pedro Diz Romero, director del periòdic madrileny La Mañana.

Barcelona presenta un índex de cunerisme considerablement menor (6%). D'aquests, el cas més emblemàtic de presència continuada d'un diputat cuner és el d'Emilio Castelar a Barcelona. Els altres dos únics escons ocupats per diputats cuners corresponen als districtes de Berga i d'Igualada, amb un cadascun, tot i que en el cas d'aquest darrer districte, es tracta de Manuel Camacho, que igual que en el cas de Diz, manté una relació clara amb els interessos del districte, per la seva vinculació al projecte ferroviari Igualada-Sant Sadurní d'Anoia.

La creixent incidència social i política del catalanisme, del republicanisme federal i del moviment obrer va representar un gran cop per a les pràctiques cuneres i de manipulació electoral permanent, posant en qüestió tot l'entramat de la Restauració borbònica.

Cunerisme al País Valencià
La pràctica de l'encasellat i del cunerisme també va ser corrent al País Valencià. Tanmateix aquestes pràctiques trobaren una oposició creixent del republicanisme i les forces d'oposició al sistema. Es pot esmentar la reunió del paranimf de la Universitat del 1879 a favor d'una veritable representació del País. Segons Yanini i Zurita Aldeguer el cunerisme a València fou més aviat excepcional en comparança a la representació d'interessos amb diputats arrelats al districte. Amb tot el cunerisme hi fou present. Es pot esmentar el cas de Carles Reig i Forquet fill d'uina poderosa família valenciana, establert a Madrid i absent de València, que malgrat tot fou representant electoral de València gràcies a la seva influència a Requena i la seva vall, en especial a Aiora. Un altre cas és el de Ramon Aranaz, resident a Madrid, a partir de 1865 elegit 5 vegades diputat per València.

Cunerisme a Mallorca
A Mallorca el cunerisme va ser una pràctica habitual. La llei electoral establia el sufragi censatari, és a dir, el vot reservat tan sols als rics. Per tant, entre el 1837 i el 1868 i entre el 1879 i el 1886, molts de candidats per Mallorca eren cuners sense cap relació amb l'Illa. Entre els diputats cuneros hi trobam destacats polítics espanyols com Francisco J. Istúriz, del Partit Moderat, president del Govern el 1836; Francisco Serrano, que va ser president provisional després de la Revolució de Setembre de 1868 i regent d'Espanya entre el 1869 i el 1871, i el republicà moderat Emilio Castelar, president de la Primera República la tardor del 1873. Hi havia cuners que havien estat ministres i aspiraven a un escó com a premi de consolació. Aquest era el cas de Nicolás María Garelli, moderat; José Landero Corchado, progressista; Joaquín Francisco Pacheco, moderat, i Antonio Ríos Rosas, també moderat. Encara foren més nombrosos els militars i polítics, com Francisco de Paula Figueras, Manuel de Soria Fernández, Manuel Montes de Oca, que el 1841 protagonitzà un pronunciament, Juan Aldama, Santos San Miguel i Manuel Lebrón, per només citar-ne alguns.

D'altres cuners havien estat governadors civils de les Illes Balears, un càrrec reservat quasi en exclusiva per als peninsulars. Aquest fou el cas de José Fernández del Cueto i Carlos Navarro Rodrigo. També hi va haver nobles cuners, com el marquès de Casa Fuerte o el comte de Santa Coloma, un català. Esment a part es mereix l'historiador i filòleg Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo, d'ideologia tradicionalista i catòlic radical, que va esser elegit diputat pel Partit Conservador l'abril del 1884. Com va indicar Pere Fullana a la Gran Enciclopèdia de Mallorca, va fer una tournée electoral per la Part Forana i una conferència sobre Ramon Llull a l'Institut Balear.

A partir de l'aprovació del sufragi universal (1890), el cunerisme va tendir a desaparèixer, però un nou partit, el PSOE, encara molt minoritari, sovint presentà candidats forans. En aquest cas, no es tractava de recompensar serveis prestats o de continuar carreres polítiques en els partits hegemònics, però el fet de presentar a Mallorca personalitats com Pablo Iglesias (1893) o Antonio García Quejido (1893, 1896, 1898 i 1899) demostra manca de sensibilitat cap a la realitat illenca..

Els republicans del 1931 presentaren per les Illes Balears ni més ni manco que Manuel Azaña. Aquest, va renunciar a l'acta perquè també havia estat elegit en una altra circumscripció i es varen haver de fer, l'octubre d'aquell mateix any, unes eleccions complementàries per a cobrir el seu escó. No tothom acceptava el menyspreu a Mallorca que implica el cunerisme. El 1884, els republicans possibilistes del diari La Opinión recomanaven: 'Mallorquines! En la próxima elección de diputados a Cortes, votemos paisanos nuestros, procedan de donde procedan. Ellos conocen nuestras necesidades locales, y por ello trabajarán en Madrid a fin que sean atendidas. 'Abajo los forasteros! Sean buenos o malos, cuidadosos o indiferentes.

The Vision Thing
Do I detect the Beeb's post-referendum Continuity Project Fear beginning to run out of traction? Maybe that's just my own optimism shading the landscape. But relentlessly optimistic I remain, because there is just so much to play for, and the 'other side' is in such utter disarray. Actually that should be 'sides' in the plural, but hey, Come the three corners of the world in arms / And we shall shock them. Nought shall make us rue / If England to itself do rest but true.
Not that the situation isn't fraught with peril. In a situation like this one could wish for a Heseltine - an onside Heseltine, obviously - someone with tenacity, tactical nous and creativity: the chap who solved the Poll Tax in half an afternoon. Is David Davis that man? We shall find out.
I actually agree with whomever it was (can't find the link) who wrote recently that the government now needs to conduct itself as if we were at war. Yes, it's big and serious! Full attention and maximum effort required on all fronts. Melt down some of the family silver. Tighten the belt. Grown-ups to the front. Now is the hour.
Funnily enough, the early signs of exactly such an attitude that may be detected - everyone lauding the big cross-border investment deals that have been announced as proof we are open for business - make the wretched Hinkley all the more likely to "go ahead", however crass. The French are obviously rushing to grab, quick, while stocks last. So be it; a 'yes' in July 2016 means very little in practice, but has big symbolic importance and, given we really don't need the project & the French really, really do, confers some rather handy leverage.
(But isn't ND an implacable opponent of Hinkley? Yup - which goes to show the priority I'm advocating for all things that tend towards advancing the main cause.)
I quite like the parallel Paul Goodman draws with the Stuart Restoration: a time for focus, creative politics and reconciliation. Might draw this out a bit more on another occasion. But an even more compelling analogy (and I hope I'm steering clear of the Godwin trap) is with Churchill taking the reins in 1940. Phoney War coming to an end; focussed leadership drawing on eclectic resources; clear vision. You ask what is our policy? .. what is our aim?..
Just now the Vision thing is, maybe, a bit less black-and-white: a bit harder to articulate in detail what would constitute success. But here's my attempt.
The settlement we reach - with Europe, and amongst the various parts of the UK - must be so good that the Irish (that is, the Southern Irish) should seriously start thinking about whether they want to join us.
I don't see why not.
Labels: Brexit, Hinkley Point, History Corner
Agree. I don't care about Hinckley because in the grand scheme it is small beer. The bigger picture is much, much bigger.
It would be really nice to line up a trade-deal-in-principle by the time we put the Article 50 legislation through. That ought to concentrate minds.
As for the Irish, isn't some sort of federal UK plausible, a sort of UK single market customs union single travel areawith a mutual defence scheme and very little else decided at Union level? That may be how to get the ScotsNats onside (Nicola is only bargaining, after all, she knows that if Scotland leaves the UK it will not be in the EU).
For me "success" means a fairly comprehensive trade agreement with the rEU, with relaxed mutial work "visa" arrangements but no automatic future right to be treated as a local citizen. I.e no automatic right to claim welfare etc. and no automatic right to stay forever unless working.
If the UK can place itself as a hub for a wide network of bi-lateral and multi-lateral trade agreements, and keeps its law and taxes sensible, then the future could be very bright indeed. Today's Flash PMI notwithstanding.
I meant a trade deal with a strong partner, whether the US or Canada or China or elsehwere important.
Opportunities - yes. As always in upheavels.
That we have come to this pass. Dare I mention the Trump and Brexit phenomena have similar origin ?
Both are a gag reflex to years of oppressive political correctness - oppression whenever anyone dared to say our country was becoming too crowded and our nationhood was being diluted before our eyes.
Xenophobia is not the same as love of - and concern for - a nation being wilfully deconstructed. (I'm certainly not a xenophobe as I see that the deconstruction is actually coming from within.)
So I fear that when Paul Goodman is so resigned about mass immigration that the Blairite Mrs May will be too.
This was the key issue which caused people to vote Leave and it should not be forgotten.
The point was reached after decades of peaceful debate and due democratic process.
The people have been the model of tolerance and patience - despite the lies that have been told about them and if they do happen to 'forget' why the people voted to Leave then the next step will be less democratic, patient and tolerant.
The people have actually been adults in all of this. But what on earth are they supposed to do if they are still ignored in spite of it all ?
Well EK if you don't like what happens, then use your vote at the next election accordingly.
What I would suggest to people is that they resist the temptation to get upset before anything has actually been agreed. After all, what is the point?
dearieme said...
I do hope that you are referring to the Southern Irish joining us only in the sense of leaving the EU. We surely don't want those buggers back in the UK again.
Laban Tall said...
@dearieme - they already have the vote here. Actually reuniting with Eire would be great - the two countries are socially much more alike than they used to be. Those days of Catholic supremacy are alas gone, but a beneficial side effect is that they no longer have a pipeline of young men brought up on Kathleen Mavourneen and Our Lady Queen of Semtex.
Cobh, Berehaven and Lough Swilly could house the Trident submarines and the Scots could close Faslane and Rosyth. It's a winner!

"Do I detect the Beeb's post-referendum Continuity Project Fear beginning to run out of traction?"
I wish you were right.
Listening to the radio earlier I heard some newsreader excitedly announce that the UK economy had started shrinking (something about a PMI index?). As I look at the BBC News website right now the headline is "Brexit causes dramatic drop in UK economy, data suggests". They seem positively giddy - here at last, you can hear them think, is a catastrophe that won't evaporate even as we report it.
James Higham said...
You're enamoured of Heseltine, Nick? Hmmmmm.
YDG - what I said was traction - I know they are still running the line, but I'm not sure it's riveting the population
James - not the offside Lord Hezza of Remain-in-the-Past: it's the entrepreneurial power-politician of old, his creativity / problem-solving / general policy-delivery we need
dearieme - Irish joining us only in the sense of leaving the EU?; well, that, but I also have half a thought for a federal-type settlement with Scotland they might fancy a bit, too
Nick Drew @ 7:09
Ah, fair point. And very decent of you to respond after I muddled you up with Blue Eyes. Surely, that's a sacking offence?
all 4 of us get muddled all the time - no probs! (we do use different fonts/colours, you know ..?)
rwendland said...
I don't understand how we could easily become "a hub for a wide network of bi-lateral and multi-lateral trade agreements", because of the tariff avoidance through re-export problem.
Say the US-EU has a 10% each-way tariff on Widgets. We cut a UK-US free trade deal to have 0% tariff on Widgets. Subsequently UK-EU cut a deal letting us into the Europe free trade area. Won't US Widget exporters to the EU then export Widgets to the UK, then re-export (possibly with some trivial value-add) them from UK to EU - niftily bypassing the 10% US-EU tariff?
From what I've heard on the radio, most countries will delay agreeing trade agreements with the UK until after they know for sure what the UK-EU deal will be. Largely to manage this re-export incentive problem. If at all possible, it will certainly take a lot longer to negotiate than some people imagine. Seems to me for perfect optimisation trade deals need to be negotiated in sequence to make sure a regime without significant tariff leakage is arrived at.
On Hinkley, I would have thought the 15% fall in the Pound/Euro exchange rate would be weighting heavily on EDF and the Chinese investors minds. Lots of the costs (major components) are in Euros, but the electricity to be produced is in lower value Pounds. I'd have thought quite a lot more spreadsheet columns bottom box will have turned red.
Put simplistically, the future electricity £92.50/MWh CfD price has turned from EUR 65.51/MWh a year ago into EUR 47.31/MWh. Given it is clear the economics was at best marginal a year ago, that is a tough nut to swallow.
... Whoops, calculator error! Second para should be:
Put simplistically, the future electricity £92.50/MWh CfD price has turned from EUR 130.61/MWh a year ago into EUR 110.54/MWh today. Given it is clear the economics was at best marginal a year ago, that is a tough nut to swallow.
@rewendland You can't (legally) evade tariffs like that. Goods have a "country of origin" which is where they are manufactured and the COO stays constant no matter where the goods are moved to. Yes you can fudge the COO on small shipments but if you're doing freight quantities with a bad COO you're gonna get in trouble.
So in your scenario if you moved widgets from the US to UK the recipient would pay no tariffs. But then when the goods are moved from the UK to the EU the recipient would pay the EU's tariffs for the US.
What the UK would need to do is get FTAs with countries like India and China for raw materials. Then manufacture the materials into goods with a UK COO which can then be exported with FTAs to the US and EU. The UK would become a hub of materials coming in and goods going out.
Also "raw materials" doesn't have to literally be raw materials. It can be parts which are assembled into a car or a computer etc.
Also also ... Germany isn't so much a car manufacturer as a "hub" of car manufacturing. Parts come in from all over the EU and the world and they put them together. The UK sends parts to Germany and they send whole cars back to us. This is why some are saying that Germany will compromise because if not they will be hit once on tariffs for the parts coming in and a second time on cars going out.
And I think many might be surprised by how many "quality German products" are really from East Asia. Even within the EU when you move around large quantities you have to fill out an Intrastat and so much from Germany is labelled as CN, TW, etc for the country of origin.
Over in the US all products must have their country of origin on their packaging (the "Made in America" obsession). You will often see with English versions of products that have a crappy sticker on them saying "Made in China" and this is usually merely European manufacturers obliging with US regulations but when they sell on the continent they don't put this sticker on and mislead customers into believing e.g. that Adidas trainers are really made in Germany. Meanwhile, if we're not too late, "Made in England/Scotland/etc" labels will probably actually increase sales of certain products in the US.
Mr R - so, if we believe they will actually decide anything next week, either
(a) they'll give a conditional 'yes', demanding compo for FX
(b) they'll use FX as their excuse to walk out
(c) we'll find out there was a great deal of fat on the bones after all!
BE - Well EK if you don't like what happens, then use your vote at the next election accordingly.
E-K - Tried that. Doesn't work. So we forced them to give us a referendum, on which they lost and now they are already back-pedalling on the key issue (as mentioned in the Goodman article.)
BE - What I would suggest to people is that they resist the temptation to get upset before anything has actually been agreed. After all, what is the point?
E-K - I suggest people remain vigilant as to what the Government intends (doesn't intend) to do and be prepared to get very upset indeed. After all, we can now say that they have exhausted all democratic means and have conducted themselves far better than sore losing Remainers.
(I did not put up a Leave poster for fear of being ostracised in my left leaning social circle or having my window broken.)
EK by all means be vigilant. I am not suggesting you "trust" the govt and parliament to come to the result you hope for without your taking part in the democratic process.
However, in a democracy where everyone has a (roughly) equal say, and in which there are highly divergent opinions, don't expect the end result to be perfect for you. Personally I much prefer a messy consensus situation where there is broad support, to some Utopia in which people at one end of the spectrum are happy and the rest thing they have been done over.
If you are that exercised, why not run for something? Magnify your influence?
"they already have the vote here"
Indeed. Our leaving the EU would be a suitable occasion to end that nonsense.
K, you obviously understand tariff regimes very well indeed! I'm a novice wondering every time this was mentioned in MSM over the last months how this problem would be overcome, and no-one explaining it. Thanks for a good concise explanation.
So, as I understand your explanation, even if a single component costs well over half the total production cost, the COO of that component is lost and the product gains the COO of country of the assembly plant.
So in my scenario above, if a Widget was a component, someone wishing to build an assembly plant for products sold into the EU utilising a lot of US made Widget components would be financially incentivised to build the plant in the UK to benefit from the lower tariff rate the UK applied on US Wedgets?
You can see why the EU trade negotiators would then not want us in the Europe free trade area in that case. It still seems to me there are a huge number of tariff-rate interactions and considerations for trade agreement negotiators. It does not seem likely all this will be agreed quickly, and as the expert I heard on the radio said, why most countries would want to know the exact details of the UK-EU deal before they enter detailed negotiations.
ND, a few more possibilities strike me:
(d) they'll postpone the build until EDF have finished the simplified "New Model EPR" redesign in 2020, then use Hinkley as the first demonstration build to show other potential customers. But that will need a new GDA by the UK regulator, so we are talking a build start date around 2023 (which will also allow FX rates to have settled).
(e) they sell the already prepared Hinkley site to the Chinese, who will use it instead of Bradwell for their George Osborne agreed first power station. Either with the trusty CPR-1000/Hualong One (many already built), or a lead site for the CAP-1400 (enlarged Westinghouse AP-1000).
or, if it weren't for the Chinese financiers, and the French government is terrified by an order-gap and redundancies in the nuclear component supply chain:
(f) suck up those extra losses!
EDF cannot be best pleased that the future profits of what was British Energy (old UK nuclear) have been devalued by 15% odd. Though as gas will go up ~15%, and working-week daytime electricity by perhaps 10%, this will be softened a bit.
Blue - I'm pretty convinced any organisation I got involved in in real life would be ruined.
@rwendland I think the official definition for changing the country of origin is something like "materially different". Value doesn't matter.
I think the real reason nobody wants to engage in trade discussions yet is because it's not clear what the starting position is. For example Canada wants a FTA with the UK but they've had a FTA with EFTA since 2009 and the UK might join EFTA.
@rwendland Also worth pointing out that the average tariffs on most goods is about 2.something% - so compared to VAT etc it's absolutely marginal. And unlike VAT, due to thresholds etc, tariffs seem to benefit small businesses over large businesses.
Some outliers are cars where it's more like 20%. I'm no expert but since we're one of a few left hand drive countries how many cars sold in the UK are really manufactured abroad? We could get low tariffs for India and Japan and screw the rest.
Another outlier is electronic goods where it's usually 0%. Not sure why but it's probably ripe for exploitation.
K, thanks for extra info. You're a star.
Yes, you can see how the ebay-generation small trader can take advantage of this. On top of the micro-trader advantage of flying just under the VAT threshold, especially if you are in services. And next year they get 100% business relief up to a rateable value of £12,000.[*] Seems sunny side up for micro and small traders!
[*] Why shouldn't single people rent a small business premise to live in, saving £1k-ish of council tax? And run a micro-business or hobby on the side.

I watched Look East this evening, the local BBC news roundup. I foolishly hoped that they might cover our local carnival - a really great two day event, with scope for positive news and great pictures. No such luck. The BBC had calculated that the East would lose £74 million from Brexit, plus agriculture would lose £600 million. Where do you think that money comes from I shouted at the screen. Waste of time of course.
mike f - welcome: and accepting the beeb carries on with this stuff relentlessly, do you think it has any real traction with Joe Public?
I feel not, but must accept that water eventually acts even on stone
On Sunday, I heard a BBC reporter sniggering that "perhaps the traffic hold-up at Dover is the French punishing us for Brexit"
They really can't help themselves. Whittingdale chickened out in the BBC Charter review, no doubt pressured to do so by Cameron, who wanted the Corporation onside for the Remain campaign. Still didn't work, though.
Now is the time to abolish the TV Licence fee, and let the BBC sink or swim.

Anon, it's quite simple, just stop paying your TV licence. Write to them and tell them you don't need it as you do not watch or record live-to-air TV. Even if you do, in reality there is zero chance of being found out, unless (I'm thinking of the Frankie Frazer Brass Eye interview here) you accidentally grass yourself.

Leaking pipes are a common problem in sewer lines of any age and are difficult to diagnose without a professional inspection. These leaks are generally caused by corrosion or a damaged of your line and will cause further damage to your plumbing system if left alone. At Full Bore, Inc., we use industry-leading, trenchless technology to diagnose your leaking pipe and repair it effectively.
Most of your pipes are underground which can make it difficult to tell if you have a leak in your pipe system unless you know what symptoms to look out for on your property. Some of the most common ways to tell if you should call a pipe professional for leak detection assistance include things like a high water bill, mold on the interior or exterior of your property, low water pressure, cracks in your foundation, puddles or pools of water around your property or near pipes, and large wet spots in the interior of your home or business. A high utility bill is one of the biggest indicators that you could be experiencing a leak somewhere within your pipes. Additionally, discolored areas on your floor, ceiling, or walls can demonstrate a more serious leak that needs immediate repair before it causes additional damage to your property.
Our teal at Full Bore, Inc. understands that a leaking pipe needs a lasting repair quickly. We always do our best to implement trenchless services wherever possible so that we can save you time and money.
One of the most important parts of a leak repair is leak detection. Our advanced camera technology on top of isolation testing allows us to pinpoint the exact location and type of leak you may have. Isolation testing can use smoke or liquid to determine exactly where the leak is at, especially for smaller pinhole leaks.
If your leak is caused by an intrusion, such as a tree root, we will use hydro jetting to blast away any blockages and prepare the site for repair. Hydro jetting is an extremely effective and safe trenchless service that will restore your water flow quickly.
Cured-in-place-pipe lining also known as CIPP lining is a trenchless method we use to repair weakened areas of your pipe that do not require replacement. This service involves coating the interior of your lines with epoxy to restore your pipes flow and give you a water-tight seal.
If your pipes are damaged enough to need replacement, Full Bore, Inc. may recommend pipe bursting. This service is simple and fast compared to digging on your property or replacing the entire system. With a piece of technology called a bursting head, we are able to insert it into your lines to break away the damaged area and pull in a new pipe seamlessly.
If you are concerned you have a leaking pipe, our team at Full Bore, Inc. is happy to inspect and repair your line whenever you need it. Call us today to speak to a professional.


Loreena McKennitt — Lost Souls (May 4, 2018) •◊• Loreena McKennitt's first release of original material since 2006, Lost Souls is a rich and culturally eclectic recording, which one has come to expect from this unique artist. It is a rich tapestry of contemporary thoughts woven with threads from the Celts to the Bedouins, stitched with the sounds of a diverse collection of musical voices, including nyckelharpa, oud, kanoun, a military band and flamenco guitar. An exotic musical journey like no other. Overall: 8x Gold, 14x Platinum.
•◊• Quinlan Road is a fully independent record label and management office founded in 1985. It is wholly owned and operated by its only artist, Loreena McKennitt.
•◊• Quinlan Road's head office is located in Stratford, Ontario, Canada.
•◊• Fidèle au style qui l'a fait connaître, Lost Souls présente onze compositions originales d'inspiration celtique, arabisante et moyen~orientale se fondant en une trame sonore aussi nuancée qu'envoûtante. Composé sur plusieurs années, certains morceaux de Lost Souls entendus furtivement el live, reste toutefois inédits en version studio. Les autres titres ont vu le jour plus récemment, au fil de ses derniers projets et pérégrinations. Quelques~uns s'inspirent des poèmes de John Keats et de W.B. Yeats, alors qu'un autre évoque les délices du Moyen~Orient. L'album Lost Souls offre recueil d'impressions et d'expressions éclectiques adaptées pour notre seul plaisir. McKennitt, au piano sur plusieurs titres, est accompagnée de ses collaborateurs de longue date, Caroline Lavelle au violoncelle, Hugh Marsh au violon, Brian Hughes à la guitare et Dudley Phillips à la basse. Grâce à son savant mélange, sur fond celtique, de pop, de folk et de musique du monde ayant vendu plus de 14 millions d'albums à travers le monde, Loreena a récolté de nombreuses certifications or, platine et multi~platine dans plus de quinze pays répartis sur quatre continents. L'artiste a été nominée pour deux prix Grammy et a remporté deux prix Juno, ainsi que le Billboard International Achievement Award.
•◊• Lost Souls is Loreena McKennitt's tenth studio album, and her first album of original material since 2006's An Ancient Muse. She has released albums since An Ancient Muse (2008's A Midwinter Night's Dream and 2010's The Wind That Shakes the Barley) but those albums were comprised of brilliant arrangements of traditional material. Lost Souls is pure McKennitt, and as good as her last two albums were, and they were genius, it is so nice to have an album of her original writing.
•◊• A great deal has happened in McKennitt's life since 2006, both personally and professionally, and although this album is a collection of 'leftovers' from previous albums, one cannot help but hear some of what she has experienced expressed in the music, melodies and arrangements. Simply put, this albums feels personal and yet welcoming to all who wish to join her. Lost Souls is sheer beauty and brilliance.
•◊• Given that these songs were never intended to co~exist as a collection, it is even more astounding that they form such a consistent album. Here McKennitt has rediscovered songs from the past that did not fit on the contemporary albums of the time. She has brought together musicians with whom she has worked with in the past (Brian Hughes, Hugh Marsh and Caroline Lavelle to name just three) and has reworked these songs so they all fit together nicely in this package.
•◊• The instrumental performance is inspirational, and McKennitt's voice has never sounded so good. One hears the emotion in her voice as she sings, especially in songs such as "A Hundred Wishes" and the staggeringly beautiful "Breaking Of The Sword", a song inspired by McKennitt's participation in the 100th anniversary of Vimy Ridge. "Is it now a mother's blessing, That the country's truly free?" she sings. When the Stratford Concert Choir joins McKennitt, who performs the song wih The Central Band of the Armed Forces, the emotion is almost overwhelming. It is a beautiful piece of music and some of the most stirring lyrics set to music.
•◊• Of course no Loreena McKennitt album is complete without instrumentals, and the two included in this album "Sun, Moon and Stars" and "Manx Ayre" are exquisite.
•◊• Loreena McKennitt's simple explanation for the 12~year break between new albums of original material is that "life happens" — touring to support her previous releases, caring for her late mother, researching another musical project. But McKennitt is back with the May 11 release of her 10th studio album Lost Souls, whose title track is premiering exclusively below.
•◊• The nine tracks on Lost Souls span more than three decades. McKennitt recalls performing "The Ballad of the Fox Hunter" and "Ages Past, Ages Hence" during the late '80s, while "Spanish Guitars and Night Plazas" was written during the early '90s. "La Belle Dams Sans Merci" was considered for An Ancient Muse, "Sun, Moon and Stars" has been around for a few years and "Manx Ayre" comes from a melody McKennitt composed during her days of busking on the streets of Toronto.
•◊• McKennitt will support Lost Souls' release with in~store appearances May 1618 in Germany and the Netherlands. She plans to begin touring in earnest during October, with a twoyear global campaign the will kick off during October in South America. Meanwhile, McKennitt already has her sights on her next album, a set that will examine the connection between Celtic and Northern Indian cultures that she began working on some years ago.
⦿ Singer~songwriter and multi~instrumentalist Loreena McKennitt is one of Canada's most beloved national artists, a folk chanteuse, and a new age troubadour who made her breakthrough in the mid~'80s with her literate and oft~experimental focus on Celtic~tinged traditional and original material, coupled with her haunting harp playing. As her career progressed, McKennitt began incorporating Spanish, Galician, and Arabic themes into her repertoire, culminating in a trio of career~defining albums — The Visit, The Mask and Mirror, and The Book of Secrets — that made her an international star.
⦿ The daughter of a nurse mother and a livestock~trading father, McKennitt studied classical piano and voice and learned to dance in the highland style as a youngster. Her love of traditional music was strengthened in the folk clubs of Winnipeg, which she frequented during the brief period she studied veterinary science at the University of Manitoba. Relocating to Stratford, Ontario, she continued to sharpen her skills as a composer and performer. In 1981, she auditioned for a role in the city's Stratford Festival of Canada. Although she did not get the role, she remained inspired. After reading Diane Sward Rapaport's book How to Make and Sell Your Own Recording, she formed her own label, Quinlan Road.
⦿ After releasing two albums, a nine~song cassette, Elemental, in 1985 and a collection of Christmas tunes, To Drive the Cold Winter Away, in 1987, she had her first breakthrough with her 1989 album Parallel Dreams. With the help of a network of small independent distributors, the album sold more than 40,000 copies within four months. Its success was surpassed by McKennitt's fourth album, The Visit. Distributed by Warner Canada, the album sold over 600,000 copies (six~times platinum) in Canada and received a Juno Award, as did her next recording, The Mask and Mirror, in 1994.
⦿ While her albums have featured soothing, ultra~melodic arrangements, McKennitt's lyrics have reflected her interests in the poetry of W.B. Yeats, William Blake, and Alfred Lord Tennyson. Her music has been heard on the soundtracks of numerous plays and films. In 1989, she was commissioned by the National Film Board of Canada to compose the music for a film series, Woman and Spirituality. Her subsequent commissions have included such films as Jade, Highlander III, and Disney's The Santa Clause, and TV shows including Northern Exposure, Due South, and EZ Streets.
⦿ In 1998, McKennitt scored her biggest hit with "The Mummers' Dance." Aided by a pop crossover remix, the single helped propel her sixth LP, The Book of Secrets, to number three in Canada and into the Billboard Top 20, making it her highest~charting release to date. Sadly, her world crumbled that July when her fiancé, Ronald Rees, died while on a sailing trip with his brother and a family friend in Georgian Bay. Everything stopped immediately in order for McKennitt to grieve, while rumors of her retirement also circulated. At the time of her fiancé's death, McKennitt was mixing a new album, Live in Paris and Toronto, at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios. Recorded in Salle Pleyel in Paris and Massey Hall in Toronto during spring 1998, and the album was released in 1999. All profits from the album have gone to the Cook~Rees Memorial Fund, which McKennitt set up to finance water safety initiatives and education across Canada. It would be almost a decade before McKennitt would return to her own material.
⦿ In the new millennium, McKennitt allowed herself some healing time. She didn't disappear from music altogether, however, and worked with a number of local and national charities. Her Spanish version of "Dante's Prayer" was featured in the Canadian/Venezuelan feature film A House with a View of the Sea in 2001. In 2002, she headlined a concert in Winnipeg for Queen Elizabeth, and in 2003 she received the Order of Canada. Two years later, McKennitt began work on her seventh studio album, Ancient Muse, which was released in 2006 and peaked in the Canadian Top Ten. Nights from the Alhambra, a live CD/DVD, arrived in 2007, followed by Midwinter Night's Dream, a collection of holiday music that included 1995's Winter Garden EP in its entirety, along with eight new recordings. A Mediterranean Odyssey was released in 2009; the two~disc set included Olive and the Cedar, an 11~song compilation of some of her best~loved Mediterranean pieces, along with From Istanbul to Athens, which was recorded live on her 2009 Mediterranean tour.
⦿ In July 1998, McKennitt's fiancé Ronald Rees, his brother Richard, and their close friend Gregory Cook drowned in a boating accident on Georgian Bay. She was deeply affected by the event, and she founded the Cook~Rees Memorial Fund for Water Search and Safety in the same year. At the time of the incident, she was working on a live album of two performances called Live in Paris and Toronto. The proceeds from this album were donated to the newly created memorial fund, totaling some three million dollars.
⦿ After the release of the live album, McKennitt decided that she would substantially reduce the number of her public performances, and she did not release any new recordings until the studio album An Ancient Muse in 2006.


When was the last time you tried something new? I talk about the benefit of trying new things by recounting 5 new experiences I have had within the last week. I avenged my high school art classes, returned to a former passion and discovered an enjoyable way of giving back. Hear about an upcoming experience that I initially wrestled with the idea of before realising that it could be a slobber knocker.

Hillingdon is een station van de metro van Londen aan de Piccadilly Line en de Metropolitan line.

Geschiedenis

Harrow & Uxbridge
In 1897 werd de Harrow & Uxbridge Railway opgericht om Uxbridge per spoor te verbinden met de Metropolitan Railway (MR), de latere Metropolitan Line, en daarmee met de binnenstad. Begin 20e liep de lijn door landelijk gebied zodat alleen bij het dorp Ruislip een tussenstation kwam. Op 4 juli 1904 werden de lijn tussen Roxborough Road aansluiting en Uxbridge, en de stations Ruislip en Uxbridge geopend met stoomdiensten. In 1905 werd de spoorlijn geëlektrificeerd en kwamen er elektrische metrostellen.  In 1906 werd de lijn overgenomen door de MR die toch al de elektrische diensten verzorgde, waarmee het de Uxbridgetak van de MR werd. MR had bedacht dat ze de woningbouw langs de lijn door het landelijke Middlesex kon aanjagen en daarmee klanten genereren door stations aan de lijn toe te voegen. Op 1 maart 1910 werd de District Railway (DR), de latere District Line, vanuit South Harrow doorgetrokken naar Rayners Lane waarna zowel de MR als de DR naar Uxbridge reden.

Metroland
Voor het gebied ten noordwesten van Londen had de reclame-afdeling van MR in 1915 de naam Metroland bedacht voor potentiele woonwijken rond haar lijnen. Hiermee wilde ze bewoners van de binnenstad verleiden tot een verhuizing naar de gebieden ten noordwesten van de stad. In het interbellum groeide metroland gestaag en op 10 december 1923 werd Hillingdon als laatste tussenstation langs de Harrow & Uxbridge lijn ingevoegd. In 1929 begon de verlenging van de Piccadilly Line aan de oostkant van de stad en aan de westkant werd de District tak naar Uxbridge vernieuwd omdat deze als westelijke deel van de Piccadilly Line zou gaan fungeren. In juli 1933 werd het OV in Londen genationaliseerd in de London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) zodat alle metrobedrijven in een hand kwamen. Op 23 oktober 1933 werd de dienstregeling van de District Line overgenomen door de Piccadilly Line. Op 1 april 1934 werd (Swakeleys) aan de stationsnaam toegevoegd en ongeveer 20 jaar later verdween de toevoeging weer van de kaart al staat het nog wel op sommige roundels.

Ligging en inrichting
Op 6 december 1992 werd een nieuw station geopend omdat het oude station plaats moest maken voor de uitbreiding van de A40. Het nieuwe station is volledig toegankelijk voor mindervaliden. Om de verbreding van de A40 (Western Avenue) bij Hillingdon Circus mogelijk te maken, is het station uit 1923 gesloopt en een nieuw station aan de zuidzijde van de A40 gebouwd. Het nieuwe station werd ontworpen door de architecten Cassidy Taggart Partnership in de deconstructivistische stijl. Het station werd alom geprezen en ontving in 1996 een  Civic Trust Award  voor het ontwerp en in 1994 was het het metrostation van het jaar. In juli 2011 werd het station door de London Borough of Hillingdon op plaatselijke monumentenlijst gezet.

Het station heeft een parkeerplaats, is rolstoeltoegankelijk en bemand. Het loket werd echter in 2015 gesloten en in mei 2016 werden de stationshal en beide perrons voorzien van indicatoren voor de volgende metro. Dit viel samen met werkzaamheden ter verbetering van het station, waaronder het schoonmaken van de glazen overkapping van het station en het afdichten van delen van het dak om nestelende vogels af te schrikken.
In september 2019 leidde een ruzie op het perron tot de dood van de 20-jarige Tashan Daniel. Zijn twee aanvallers werden veroordeeld voor moord en doodslag.

You are here: Home / Registration & Check-out / [VIDEO] Bad handwriting on the silent auction bid sheet? Here's how to read it.
Stickers aren't just for kids.
If you've been struggling to read your bidders' handwriting as you look at each silent auction bid sheet, today's video tip will solve your pain.
This is an option for you if you're running a silent auction using a single bid sheet.
If you're running a traditional manual checkout process that relies on NCR / triplicate bid sheets, this isn't practical. Nor is it relevant if you're using mobile bidding.
That's one of the trickier aspects of giving advice on the auction checkout process. Checkout has a lot of variables.
If you're only having a live auction, you'll run checkout slightly different than a group that is running a silent auction, or a Fund a Need.
If you have software, you'll run it slightly different than a group that doesn't have software.
If you have mobile bidding, you'll run it slightly different than a group that doesn't.
If you are not registering credit cards at registration, you'll run checkout a bit differently than a group that does.
So to recap, today's tip works best for those of you running a software system so that you can get buy with single bid sheets on the table.
Have you used stickers in the silent?
If you haven't, I'll hazard to guess that you're likely missing other simple tips that will improve your checkout, too.
Here's where you learn how to run a slicker than snot (Yes, slicker. Than. Snot.) auction checkout.
Simple Auction Checkout is all you need to make registration and checkout a snap. In fact, I encourage my own onsite clients to review this process annually to ensure it runs without a hitch. Registration and checkout isn't hard, but running it does require an understanding of the steps, and this gives you those steps (and tricks!).
Learn more about the DVD and training manual.
Use them all the time! Great video Sherry!
Of course you do. You're a pro at auction checkout.

Q: What is a Neighborhood? Which of these definitions is more commonly used, and in which contexts?
Fix a point $x\in (X, \tau)$. Then a neighborhood around a point $x$ is:

*

*a set $N\ni x$ and $N\in \tau$

*a set $N$ with $x\in \text{int}(N)$

If we are working in a space $(X, \tau)$ that is locally (path) connected:

*

*a set $N$ that is (path) connected and open

*a set $N$ that is simply (path) connected and open

Specifically, I am interested in the terminology that would be used in the study of PDEs such as in the book by Gilbarg and Trudinger.
Thanks!

A: Just my feeling about it: a "neighborhood" of a point $x$ is intuitively a ball of some radius at $x$, and/but with potentially extra stuff farther away than we care about.
This is weird, but "it turns out to be useful". It is curiously hard to say why it does turn out to be mathematically useful to allow "balls of radius something" to be extrapolated to "balls of radius something, plus random stuff farther away", but, ... well, ... history? :)
Next up: path connected-ness? Well, usually this is of no moment...
In reference to a source such as G-and-T, it would matter whether you were refering to the _physical_space_ (on which some functions live), or/versus a topological vector space of functions on that space. Either way, I am inclined to think that "path-connectedness" is probably not the essential issue...
If I had to bet a dollar, it'd be toward having the questioner clarify whether their need for clarification is about the physical space on which their functions (to satisfying some PDE, and so on) live, or is about the topological vector space in which their functions live.
That is, I suspect there are "prior" issues...
Edit: Given further comments, etc, it becomes clear that some things aren't clear, namely, the contemporary defn of "neighborhood" does not include any overt assertion about path-connectedness. Nevertheless, in very nice spaces (locally Euclidean, for example), every neighborhood includes a path-connected neighborhood, indeed. Thus, in some contexts, writers want to build-in the path connectedness to the word "neighborhood" so that they don't say literally false things in discussion of path-connected neighborhoods, but don't have to repeat "path-connected" all the time.
Thus, it seems the the question is about usage, not about about path-connectedness itself, nor about the definition of "neighborhood"?

A: In topology, I have never seen "neighborhood" used to mean anything other than your second definition: a neighborhood of $x$ is a set containing $x$ in its interior. Your first definition, "open set containing $x$", is the definition of "open neighborhood of $x$". Your other definitions seem to have nothing to do with being a neighborhood at all.

A: I just ran across definition 2.3 (d), page 35 of Rudin's "Real and Complex Analysis", which defines a neighborhood as a synonym for "open set". It also comments that the term is not standardized. This is basically what everyone else explained to me here, but it may be helpful for others to see a reference (if someone had pointed me in this direction, my question would have been nipped in the bud).

Baker Hughes: US drillers cut oil rigs ahead of Hurricane Harvey
Rigzone/25 August 2017
Aug 25 (Reuters) – U.S. energy firms cut oil rigs for a second week in a row ahead of Hurricane Harvey and as a more than year-long recovery in drilling slows down in reaction to soft crude prices.
Drillers cut four oil rigs in the week to Aug. 25, bringing the total count down to 759, General Electric Co's Baker Hughes energy services firm said in its report on Friday.
That compares with 406 active oil rigs during the same week a year ago. Drillers have added rigs in 56 of the past 65 weeks since the start of June 2016.
The rig count is an early indicator of future output.
Refineries, terminals, production platforms and other infrastructure have begun shutdown procedures with Hurricane Harvey set to make landfall on the central Texas coast on Friday night or early on Saturday as a Category 3 hurricane, potentially the biggest storm to hit the mainland United States in 12 years.
Harvey could also bring flooding to inland shale oil fields in southern Texas that produce more than 1 million barrels of oil per day.
EOG Resources Inc on Thursday said it has curtailed drilling and shut in some production in the Eagle Ford shale region. Noble Energy Inc and Statoil ASA also said it was evacuating some staff from production facilities in the region.
U.S. crude futures were up 22 cents, or 0.5 percent, at $47.64 a barrel as the Gulf Coast energy hub braced for the hurricane but were down for the week as the market has been under pressure from rising U.S. production. U.S. production is expected to rise to 9.4 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2017 and a record 9.9 million bpd in 2018 from 8.9 million bpd in 2016, according to federal projections.
BHP Billiton, the world's largest miner, said on Tuesday it would exit its underperforming U.S. shale oil and gas business it acquired at the height of the oil boom.

Das Bogyoke-Aung-San-Stadion ist ein Mehrzweckstadion in Rangun, Myanmar. Benannt wurde es nach birmanischen Militärführer Aung San (1915–1947). Das Stadion bietet offiziell Platz für 40.000 Zuschauer. Es umfasst eine überdachte Tribüne mit Sitzplätzen, sowie nicht überdachte Stehplätze auf den übrigen Seiten. Es ist damit das größte Stadion in Myanmar und war bis in die 1980er Jahre das Nationalstadion des Landes. 1961 und 1969 wurden hier die Südostasienspiele ausgetragen.

Im Bogyoke-Aung-San-Stadion finden regelmäßig Spiele der Myanmar National League statt. Da es in Myanmar nur wenige Stadien gibt, spielen verschiedene Vereine aus dem ganzen Land im Bogyoke-Aung-San-Stadion. Internationale Spiele finden mittlerweile im moderneren Thuwanna-Stadion statt. Der lokale Verein Yangon United trägt ebenfalls keine Spiele mehr im Aung-San-Stadion aus und spielt nun im Yangon United Sports Complex oder ebenfalls im Thuwanna-Stadion.

Neben dem Freiluftstadion gibt es das "Aung San National Indoor Stadium" für Hallenwettbewerbe.

Messi reveals league he 'dreams' of joining | AceRabbit.com.ng
in Movie Trailers/TV Series
Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi, has admitted he has dreams of playing in another league like the Major Soccer League (MLS).
However, the 33-year-old says he will only make a decision on his future at the end of the season.
Messi came close to leaving the Nou Camp after handing in a transfer request in the summer, but reluctantly decided to stay at the club.
Barca's former president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, insisted that Messi's 700m release clause had to be met for him to leave.
With his contract expiring in June 2021, he continues to be linked with Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.
However, in a new interview with La Sexta, the Argentina superstar said: "Nothing will be crystal clear before the end of the year. I'll wait until the season is over.
"What matters now is thinking about the team, finishing the year well and not being distracted by other things.
"I don't know what will happen. I'm focused on what we have here and battling for whatever we can.
"I'm not thinking about how the year will end. As of today, it wouldn't be wise for me to say what I'm going to do because I don't know."
While he refused to be drawn on his potential next destination, Messi did say he would one day like to play in Major League Soccer.
"I've always had the dream of playing in another league, in the United States," he added.
"Maybe it will happen, doesn't have to be right away. Today I am just focused on these next six months."

Clementina Carneiro de Moura (1898-1992) was a Portuguese teacher,  modernist painter and promoter of traditional arts.

Early life
Maria Clementina Vilas Boas Carneiro de Moura was born in Lisbon, Portugal on 25 September 1898, the daughter of João Lopes Carneiro de Moura and Elvira Vilas Boas. She completed a painting course at the Lisbon School of Fine Arts in 1920, where she was a student of the Portuguese realist painter Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro and colleague of the modernist painter Sarah Affonso. That same year she visited Paris, where she first met the Portuguese painter and cartoonist Abel Manta, who she would marry in 1927. Their son, João Abel Manta, would become particularly famous as a cartoonist during the dying days of the authoritarian Estado Novo regime.

Artistic activities
Carneiro de Moura spent a large part of her life as a secondary-school teacher, while also practicing her art and, from 1920, taking part in numerous exhibitions, particularly those of the SNBA, the Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes (National Society of Fine Arts). In 1940 she worked on the decoration of the Orient Pavilion at the Portuguese World Exhibition (Exposição do Mundo Português), held in Belém on the River Tagus near Lisbon. This was staged to commemorate the foundation of the nation in 1140 and the regaining of its independence from Spain in 1640 but was also an opportunity to promote the ideology of the Estado Novo. At the same time, the SNBA exhibitions brought together avant-garde painters, where the neorealist tendency condemned by the Salazarist Estado Novo dominated.

In 1947 she travelled throughout the country, investigating Portuguese decorative arts, namely the production of quilts, embroidery and traditional lace. Several publications resulted from this research. She became a world export on embroidery, particularly for quilts or bedspreads, and also travelled outside Portugal to research the topic. Her interest in Portuguese crafts was part of a movement among artists in Europe and elsewhere to preserve and renew traditional techniques, promoted by artists such as Sonia Delaunay and Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Although some of her research was published by the Estado Novo's Mocidade Portuguesa Feminina (MPF - Female Youth Movement), she and her family remained constant opponents of the dictatorship. She belonged to the Associação Feminina Portuguesa para a Paz (Portuguese Women's Peace Association - AFPP) in the 1940s and 1950s and to the Conselho Nacional das Mulheres Portuguesas (CNMP - National Council of Portuguese Women), which was closed down by the Estado Novo in 1947. Before its closure the CNMP, under the guidance of Maria Lamas, organised an exhibition of three thousand books by 1400 women authors from thirty countries, which filled the Great Hall of Fine Arts at the University of Lisbon. Together with two others, Carneiro de Moura made portraits of more than one hundred famous women, which covered the walls of the SNBA hall. She was the first woman to hold a management position at the SNBA, from 1950 to 1954.

Later life
After the Carnation Revolution on 25 April 1975 she joined the MDM, the Movimento Democrático de Mulheres (Women's Democratic Movement), and regularly participated in the life of the Movement, helping to organize exhibitions at the MDM's headquarters, including her only solo painting exhibition in 1989.

Clementina Carneiro de Moura died on 18 July 1992 in Lisbon. Her work is represented in public and private collections, including the Centro de Arte Moderna of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon. In 2013 the Cascais Cultural Centre held an exhibition of her work together with that of her husband, son (João Abel Manta) and granddaughter (Isabel Manta).

Racine Receives $1 Million Grant For Machinery Row Project
by Denise Lockwood April 2nd, 2015
Photo credit: City of Racine
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, a public-private entity charged with spurring economic development in the state, has given Racine a $1 million grant to help clean-up several industrial properties along the Root River that will become part of the Machinery Row development project.
Machinery Row is a multi-phase retail and apartment development project along the Root River in the 900 block of Water Street.
More than 100 jobs are expected to be created in the first phase of the project and more than 500 jobs are anticipated for the project, according to a press release by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation.
"We are excited that the state and WEDC have the same vision as we do for the Machinery Row site," said Racine mayor John Dickert. "The Idle Industrial Site grant will allow the project to move forward quickly and provide environmental remediation for the project. Thanks to the teamwork on this project we will begin the rebuilding of our riverfront for all of Racine to enjoy."
Financial District Properties, a commercial real estate development company based in Davenport, Iowa, plans to develop the 20-acre multi-parcel site. The first phase represents $42 million of the $65 million project.
"This redevelopment has the potential to transform what is now a neglected area into a place where people can live, work, shop and dine along the scenic riverfront," said Reed Hall, secretary and chief executive officer of WEDC. "This is one of the most significant economic development projects in Racine's history, and WEDC is pleased to be able to provide support for this ambitious initiative."
In December, the common council approved the first phase, which calls for the city to use $1.8 million in intergovernmental revenue-sharing funds to buy three parcels of land; granting a $4.5 million bridge loan from the redevelopment authority to Financial District Properties; and the city borrowing $7 million to pay for infrastructure improvements. The development includes 12 properties along 900 Water St.
The $4.5 million loan dollars will come from the redevelopment authority. Once Financial District Properties secures financing from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, it is expected to pay back the $4.5 million to the redevelopment authority.

Q: An $n$th root simplification - why is my answer an absolute value? Ok so I need to simplify this:
$$\sqrt[\LARGE 6] {x^{25}y^{10}\over x^7 y^4}$$
I can easily break it down to the answer $x^3 y$ but I have seen that my answer is actually meant to be   $|x^3 y|$
Can anyone please explain to me why I must put my answer in an absolute value?
My question instructs me to simplify the expression and assume all variables are positive.
Thank you

A: Because $x^3 y$ can be negative, but the expression cannot.  (E.g. try $x=-1$ and $y=1$ and see that the results don't match.)
In the expression $\frac{x^{25} y^{10}}{x^7 y^4}$, (a) both $y^4$ and $y^{10}$ are non-negative regardless of the value of $y \in \mathbb{R}$, and (b) $x^{25}/x^7=x^{18}$ is non-negative regardless of the value of $x \in \mathbb{R}$.  So we're taking the $6$-th root of a non-negative real number.
Similar to the situation with $x^2=(-x)^2$ for real $x$, we have $x^6=(-x)^6$ for real $x$ (along with complex roots).  We define $\sqrt[6]{\text{[this]}}$ as returning the positive real $6$-th root.

A: Think of the simple example $y=\sqrt{x^2}$ and plot it: You'll get $|x|$, since negative values for $x$ get positive in anyway...

A night of new 'Friends' and old friends
By David Bianculli
More new TV series premiere tonight. "Seinfeld" and "Mad About You" return and the dueling medical series "E.R." and "Chicago Hope" square off in earnest. Another big TV night -- made even bigger by the latest episode of "Baseball."
* "Mad About You" (8 p.m.-8:30 p.m., Channel 2) -- The third-season premiere of this sitcom has Paul and Jamie (Paul Reiser, Helen Hunt) hitting the road, and the road doing everything short of hitting back. NBC.
* "My So-Called Life" (8 p.m.-9 p.m., Channel 13) -- Another good episode, this one explores the growing generation gap between Angela (Claire Danes) and her mother (Bess Armstrong) -- and a nice resolution to a conflict over this year's mother-daughter fashion show. ABC.
* "Baseball" (8 p.m.-10:30 p.m., Channels 22 and 67) -- Inning 5 is great viewing for at least two reasons. One is its extended analysis of Babe Ruth's alleged "called shot" in the 1932 World Series, and the other is its description of the rigorous practices, and inventive strategies, employed by managers of the Negro Leagues. PBS.
* "Friends" (8:30 p.m.-9 p.m., Channel 2) -- As a bridge between "Mad About You" and "Seinfeld," this show fits the bill, mostly because of a likable cast: Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston (from Fox's "The Edge"), David Schwimmer (who played the paranoid guy in apartment 4-B on "NYPD Blue") and Lisa Kudrow -- who also happens to play the ditzy waitress on "Mad About You." The pilot establishes the characters nicely, but that's about it. NBC.
* "Seinfeld" (9 p.m.-9:30 p.m., Channel 2) -- Not available for preview, but this is one show where I don't automatically take that as a bad sign. NBC.
* "Madman of the People" (9:30 p.m.-10 p.m., Channel 2) -- Dabney Coleman plays an acerbic columnist, as he did in "The Slap Maxwell Story," and treats everyone around him rudely, as he did in the classic "Buffalo Bill." But this time he's a bit softer, and he plays a dad whose daughter is not only his intellectual equal, but his boss. Cynthia Gibb, recently seen as the titular star of "Gypsy," plays his daughter and displays enough comic timing to deserve co-starring status. NBC.
* "E.R." (10 p.m.-11 p.m., Channel 2) -- Both of these medical shows are worth watching, but . . . NBC.
* "Chicago Hope" (10 p.m.-11 p.m., Channel 11) -- . . . Tonight's "Chicago Hope" episode has some truly exceptional scenes, and appears to be finding its way rather quickly. Mandy Patinkin stars. CBS.
* "The Haunting of Seacliff Inn" (9 p.m.-11 p.m., USA) -- Ally Sheedy and William Moses star as a married couple who buy a rundown -- and haunted -- home in hopes of turning it into a bed-and-breakfast. While they're wasting away in Amityville, the ghosts take control of the electricity, peek in on and add intensity to the lovemaking, and generally harass and entice the landlords until they've gotten their daily exorcise. By U.S. standards, not bad.

Compass Minerals Purchases Big Quill Resources
Compass Minerals (NYSE: CMP) has acquired Big Quill Resources Inc., Canada's leading producer of sulfate of potash, in an all-cash transaction valued at 56 million Canadian dollars (US$56.3 million), subject to customary post-closing adjustments.
Antares Minerals to be Purchased by First Quantum Minerals
Cliffs Natural Resources Teams Up with Spider Resources
First Quantum Minerals Purchases All Outstanding Securities of Antares Minerals
Located on Big Quill Lake near Wynyard, Saskatchewan, Big Quill Resources produces high-purity sulfate of potash (SOP) for non-agricultural specialty applications as well as for nutrients used by growers of high-value crops and turf.
"Big Quill is an innovative, entrepreneurial business with unique production capabilities, technical expertise and non-seasonal applications that will both broaden and strengthen Compass Minerals' specialty fertilizer segment," said Angelo Brisimitzakis, Compass Minerals president and CEO. "We expect this acquisition to be immediately accretive. In addition, we plan to expand Big Quill's production and sales of high-value, specialty products over time."
The Wynyard site, with an annual capacity of approximately 40,000 short tons, produces much of its SOP by extracting naturally occurring sulfate from the brine of Big Quill Lake and combining it with potassium chloride purchased through a very long-term, advantaged supply agreement. Big Quill's 2010 revenues are expected to be approximately CA$23 million with EBITDA of approximately CA$7 million. Compass Minerals funded the purchase with cash on hand.

Who Owns the Sand? Beach Squabbles in East Hampton
By Steven Gaines
Photo: Bruce Bennett/Getty Images
You might have to watch where you put your terrycloth beach towel this summer in the Hamptons lest you trespass on some rich guy's personal beach. The once unthinkable is happening — homeowners are trying to privatize the sand. Last month a Suffolk County Supreme Court decision concurred with gallery owner Floyd Macklowe and his wife Barbara's contention that 22,000 square feet of the newly created Georgica Beach in front of their $26 million East Hampton home is an extension of their private property. And they're not the only ones in court.
Property lines on oceanfront homes on the East End have long been a moving target, thanks to Mother Nature. Because the beach and dunes are always changing — often imperceptibly over time, sometimes dramatically after a storm — it's difficult to say where private property ends and public beach begins. Some East Hampton beachfront property lines are defined by the high-water mark. Others, like the Macklowes' property, begin at the "southernmost line of beach grass on the dunes," according to a deed that dates back to 1900. Unlike the neighboring plots, their property has grown larger instead of eroding as their dunes moved seaward, thanks to sand deposited in front of their house by the littoral drift of a nearby revetment built in 1977.
The Macklowes sued the Town Trustees, claiming that since the beach-grass line moved, so did their property, and Supreme Court Justice Thomas Whelan agreed that a property line can, in fact, be "ambulatory," adding millions of dollars to the value of the Macklowes' spread. Although the decision doesn't set a legal precedent, it's a "leading" opinion and gives the Town Trustees and East Hampton residents a shiver.
The Macklowes have smartly abandoned any claim to restrict public access on the newly won sand, but not all of their neighbors are so gracious. Just down Georgica beach, philanthropist Mollie Zweig had a contractor plant 24 steel poles in the sand to erect a fence that would define a section of the beach where Hurricane Irene blew away a 3,000 square foot dune behind her house. Zweig ignored a stop-work order from the Town of East Hampton and a violation from the Department of Environmental Conservation, and was given an invitation to appear in court. When the fence was vandalized — some pointed the finger at infuriated surfers — Zweig installed a security camera. The poles themselves were washed away with the next storm.
Zweig insists that she just wanted to mark off the area where she intended to replace the missing dune, a costly project involving 5,000 cubic yards of sand at a cost of $150,000. But Zweig has a real claim, say experts; losing property to erosion sometimes legally changes the property line, but with "evulsion," caused by a catastrophic event like a hurricane, the property rights still persist.
The most contentious of the lawsuits centers on a beach in Amagansett, and it goes to the heart of a locals versus summer people struggle that's been endemic to East Hampton since it became a resort. Once known as "Big House Beach" because of the seven spacious mansions that overlook it, it's now known as "Truck Beach"— the only unrestricted beach in East Hampton where you can still drive a four-wheel vehicle, day and night. During the summer there are often 200 vehicles tailgating along the beach. Driving on the sand, surfcasting, beach fires, and off-leash dogs have been part of local culture for generations.
But nobody who can afford to spend $15 million for an oceanfront home in the Hamptons wants to live on something called Truck Beach, and homeowners claim the value of their homes, let alone their peace of mind, is being severely damaged. Forming an organization called the Seaview Amagansett Residential Association, along with a time-share condominium further up the beach, the homeowners sued the Town of East Hampton, the Town Board, and the Town Trustees, claiming ownership of 4,000 feet of the beach in front of their homes based on a deed from 1887. Back then the Trustees, hard up for cash, sold 1,000 acres of East Hampton, including the Nappeague beachfront that is now Truck Beach, to a real estate developer. For most of the last 125 years it's been generally agreed that the Trustees had no right to sell town land and the 1887 deed was worthless — until this lawsuit, which had already cost the Trustees $40,000 to defend.
The lawsuit provoked a Bonacker Spring. Using Facebook as a rallying point, young locals who grew up on the beach created a grassroots organization called CfAR (Citizens for Access Rights), that now has more than 1,000 members. If the homeowners win in court, as a last-ditch effort CfAR is demanding that the Town of East Hampton use the power of condemnation and take over the beach by right of eminent domain and turn it into a public park — and a Truck Beach purgatory for homeowners.

It has sadly taken a tragic recent event to bring fire safety back into sharp focus in the public consciousness.
As was the case following the King's Cross fire on the London Underground and the fire at Bradford City Football Club in the 1980s, there are expected to be far-reaching consequences when analysing and addressing the issues raised by the Grenfell Tower disaster.
Such a hugely devastating and highly symbolic fire has sent shockwaves through the nation, as people look to find out what went wrong, provide community assistance to those affected, and learn how such a disaster can be prevented from ever happening again.
Fire safety is back in the spotlight.
Have your clients had a recent fire risk assessment?
Whether it's commercial or residential property, a care home or a charity organisation, offices or shops, a school or a hospital – or indeed any other property type – it is important that your clients know that their buildings have been recently assessed for fire risk in accordance with the latest regulations*.
First, it must be determined who has responsibility for fire safety. According to gov.uk, those responsible for fire safety in business/non-domestic properties could include an employer, a property owner, the landlord, the occupier and anyone else with control of the premises (such as a buildings manager, facilities manager or managing agent).
Any business with 5 or more employees must keep a written record of their fire risk assessment. Landlords of homes of multiple occupancy (HMOs) may also be required to undertake a fire risk assessment.
It is also clear that recommendations made to responsible people following audits should be carried out, with procedures reviewed and amended to reflect such guidance and advice.
With a public inquiry into Grenfell called, and with a major national investigation into the use of cladding on buildings also announced recently, fire legislation and regulations will likely change for all types of buildings in the aftermath of this horrific event. Being on the front foot in addressing issues is in everybody's best interests to avoid a fire on the scale of Grenfell ever happening again.
