Airship Syndicate | THQ Nordic | Released Dec 2019
From the dawn of creation, THE COUNCIL has maintained the Balance across existence. Carrying out their orders are THE HORSEMEN, Nephilim (powerful beings spawned from the unnatural union of angels and demons) who have pledged themselves to the Council and been granted immense power. However, this power came at a tragic cost: the Horsemen were ordered to use their newfound strength to wipe out the rest of their kind. What followed was a bloody battle on Eden where the Horsemen, obeying the will of the Council, annihilated the Nephilim.
Still reeling from the events on Eden, WAR and STRIFE have been given a new assignment -- LUCIFER, the enigmatic and deceptive demon king, has been plotting to upset the Balance by granting power to master demons throughout Hell. War and Strife must hunt down these masters, gather information, and ultimately fight their way through a tangled, demonic conspiracy that threatens to forever upset the Balance and unravel all of creation.

Raising awareness for fetal alcohol syndrome
Jen Rini
Mike McHugh thought that if he could just love his son Avery, he would get better. But life turned out to be a bit more complicated.
When McHugh and his partner Peter Tupitza met Avery 17 years ago in a Milford foster home, they knew they wanted to adopt him and give him a good life in a loving, happy home.
By age 3, Avery had been in and out of five foster homes and grappling with severe neglect and abuse. He already knew every curse word and was constantly in motion, McHugh said.
After he started school, teachers became frustrated with him because he had trouble writing and focusing. ADHD medication and therapy did not work.
It took seven years for doctors to diagnose fetal alcohol syndrome as the root of Avery's struggles.
Fetal alcohol syndrome is a condition that occurs when an expecting mom drinks alcohol while the baby is developing in the womb.
The problems vary, but the alcohol can cause brain damage and growth problems that affect the child throughout life.
It is extremely difficult to track how many children, like Avery, have fetal alcohol syndrome. A state work group is attempting to determine how many kids in Delaware could be undiagnosed.
Delaware's heroin babies: Starting life in withdrawal
Delaware's Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Task Force, a body that includes representation from the state, community and medical field, reconvened in September in an effort to raise awareness, increase prevention and identify what treatment services are available for fetal alcohol syndrome disorders. The group first started meeting off and on in 2010.
McHugh, now director of adoption for Children and Families First, previously served as chairman.
"It's (fetal alcohol syndrome) really something we need to be addressing," he said. "We see a lot of kids in the foster care system that have damage."
Diagnosing fetal alcohol syndrome at birth is rare and often not straightforward. There can be physical signs of the syndrome, such as wide-set eyes, but the behavioral and developmental issues that come later often go misdiagnosed.
Comparatively, babies who are withdrawing from opiates exhibit tell-tale signs at birth such as blotchy skin, seizures and high-pitched crying. Babies born with a drug dependency can stay weeks, sometimes months at the hospital, but are diagnosed very early on and get treatment immediately.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that at least 2 out of every 100 school-age children in the United States have a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.
Officials say there needs to be major movement to dispel discrepancies about how much alcohol could do damage to a child. Binge drinking while pregnant is bad, but what about one glass of wine?
Many people still feel that one drink won't hurt, said Bob Dunleavy, program manager for the state Division of Prevention and Behavioral Health Services who is involved with creating anti-drinking messaging for teens and adults.
"The issue is it is never, ever one drink," Dunleavy said. "It's never, ever one cigarette. It's never, ever one thing. The research can't tell us if there is a minimum amount of alcohol or drugs that one can consume in pregnancy and that it would be OK."
"Why gamble that? You are cheating your child out of whatever their fullest potential can be."
Over 55 percent of Delaware women between 18 and 44 reported that they drank alcohol and 18.6 percent reported binge drinking while pregnant, rates that are higher than those in Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Alcohol education needs to begin in school health classes, Dunleavy said, to lay a foundation that alcohol during pregnancy is extremely harmful.
Sexual health education on contraception and life planning needs to go hand-in-hand, said Dr. Karyl Rattay, director of Delaware's Division of Public Health, as more than half of pregnancies in Delaware are unintended or unplanned.
"We know that many women of reproductive age who accidentally get pregnant were not thinking of their alcohol consumption," she said.
It's important that women also hear consistent messages from their doctors on the topic.
"A decade ago, two decades ago, a lot of women received mixed messages from OB/GYN providers," Rattay said.
During the first three months of pregnancy a baby's bones are beginning to form, explains Dr. Anna Klintsova, professor of behavioral neuroscience at the University of Delaware who studies the effect of alcohol on the brain. She also serves as secretary of a national fetal alcohol syndrome study group.
Exposure to alcohol during that time can lead to cranial or facial abnormalities that could cause vision or hearing problems, heart defects and distinctive facial features, an extremely thin upper lip and lack of a philtrum, the dip between the nose and upper lip.
However, it is just as detrimental to drink later in the pregnancy, Klintsova said.
"Development of the brain continues well after in utero development is over," she said. "Alcohol can damage the cells that are dividing."
As a kid, Avery said he hated school. It was always difficult to concentrate and he was very hyperactive.
"It turned into a lot of frustration for him and frustration for me," McHugh said.
McHugh recalls one time when Avery propped a trampoline up against the house and was jumping onto it from the second story window.
"He was fearless," he said. Avery would break bones and not know he was in pain.
Though learning to tie his shoes was difficult, McHugh said Avery would have some funny insights as a kid. He recalls one time the family was vacationing in the Poconos Mountains. Avery and his grandmother were riding around the mountains on a golf cart one day, when it suddenly broke down.
"I think God is giving us a time out," McHugh recalls Avery saying with a laugh.
After trying a slew of medications and therapy, Avery settled into life quite nicely.
Now 20, he is looking for a job so he can buy a car and looks forward to spending as much time as he can with his girlfriend. He lives in a group home, but visits his parents and brother Isaac on the weekends.
"Trust your parents," he said. "My family are my friends."
He acknowledges he's had a difficult life path, but concentrates on the present.
At the moment, the animal lover wants a puppy: A cute bulldog with a chubby face and toothy grin.
"You can get it for Christmas," Avery pleaded Wednesday afternoon.
He got a quick reply.
"How about tube socks," Tupitza said.

BS8901 Communication and Implementation Strategy – UBM Live
Jellyhaus Enterprise Software Programs (ESP) Develop Innovative Business Software Solutions
Having been a key contributing partner in helping establish a sustainable event management system, which was an important part of our evolution, we understand embedded business processes. Jellyhaus Enterprise Software Programs create business software solutions that follow an existing workflow process while enabling compliance with governance, legislative, regulatory, a standard or a work flow process.
Jellyhaus Key Delivery Partner in Award of BS8901 Accreditation – Standard
Having worked for many years in the live events industry, Jellyhaus were incredibly proud to have been a key contributing partner in helping establish a sustainable event management system.
BS 8901 is the British Standard which has been developed specifically for the events industry with a purpose of helping the industry to operate in a more sustainable manner. The standard defines the requirements for a sustainability event management system to ensure an enduring and balanced approach to economic activity, environmental responsibility and social progress relating to events.
It requires organisations to identify and understand the effects that their activities have on the environment, on society and on the economy both within the organisation and the wider economy; and put measure in place to minimise the negative effects.
UBM Live Amsterdam embarked on the process of attaining the BS8901 standard by external accreditation in May 2009. In order to achieve accreditation, the company demonstrated that it had fundamentally re-engineered its key business processes to align them with the principles of sustainability. Working alongside key partners including Jellyhaus; UBM Live established key objectives and indicators to achieve its sustainability objectives.
These requirements have driven innovation across UBM Live Amsterdam to ensure that its systems minimize any negative effects of the activities related to the CPhI Worldwide and Fi Europe events.
Key requirements of BS 8901 include:
Issue identification and evaluation
Stakeholder identification and engagement
Objectives, targets and plans
Performance against principles of sustainable development
Competence and training
Monitoring and measurement
Corrective and preventive action
Management System audits
"The accreditation is not the end result. It reflects the beginning of identifying where we can make a difference, set goals, and how we can achieve those goals," said Nik Rudge, Managing Director at UBM Live. "Now that the Amsterdam office has achieved BS8901 accreditation, we plan to focus on extending the standard to the other UBM Live offices and events. Our employees are proud to be involved with a company that puts sustainability at the heart of its activities, and UBM Live Amsterdam is creating a path that other UBM businesses can follow."
Jellyhaus Understands Business Processes
At Jellyhaus, we understand strategies, company policies, benchmarks, the importance of involving stakeholders at all levels, clear documentation of the necessary steps to achieve the benchmarks (management systems), and measuring success against the original benchmarks.
Why use an off the shelf software system that forces your company to work within the limitations of that software? At Jellyhaus, we create custom-made business software systems that complement your embedded business process – working along your company's existing workflow.
Contact the creative, professional team at Jellyhaus for your business software solution.
We work with global, national and local companies for digital, branding, and to create made-to-order software solutions and projects.

LS member demands setting up of AIIMS in Kerala
New Delhi: A Congress member in the Lok Sabha on Thursday demanded setting up of an AIIMS in Palakkad, saying it will benefit people of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
Kerala has been demanding an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in the state for a long time.
V K Sreekandan, who represents Kerala's Palakkad constituency in the Lower House, said Palakkad will be the ideal place for the AIIMS and that an institution has expressed its willingness to offer its giant campus spread over 500 acres for the AIIMS.
Having an AIIMS would also help in putting an end to incidents of infant child mortality in Attappadi, a tribal area where there is lack of medical care facilities, the member said.
HC allows re-examination of witnesses in actor sexual assault case
Kerala govt publishes DPR for K-Rail
Kerala HC seeks state stand on second bail plea of husband of law student who committed suicide
Declare Jan 14 as Pongal holiday for Tamils in Kerala: TN CM
Army Day: Kerala CM salutes soldiers, thanks them for support
ED attaches assets of Kerala man who duped investors of Rs 1,200 cr by offering cryptocurrency
When talking of future regarding SilverLine, think of future when making roads: Kerala HC to state govt
Actor sexual assault: Dileep moves Kerala HC for anticipatory bail in new case
Anyone who says untrue things would be nervous: Governor on Kerala VC's statement
Kerala clocks 18,123 new coronavirus cases
Besides, Sreekandan said the AIIMS would benefit people of Kerala as well as Tamil Nadu. Palakkad is located near Tamil Nadu.
He raised the issue as a matter of public importance under Rule 377.
In July, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan during his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi discussed the state's demand for an AIIMS.
"We discussed the demand for AIIMS in Kerala and the Prime Minister was very positive in his response," Vijayan had said after the meeting in July.

2015-16 K-State Men's Basketball
K-State Men's Basketball
Men's Hoops Preview: K-State at Georgia Bulldogs
Was South Carolina State a hangover or a sign? Today we gather evidence.
By Jon Morse@jonfmorse Dec 4, 2015, 4:05pm CST
Share All sharing options for: Men's Hoops Preview: K-State at Georgia Bulldogs
This one's for Furnace.
Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports
Eric's tied up today, so you'll have to settle for an abbreviated preview which will once and for all convince you that Jon knew what he was doing when he pawned off basketball duties.
The Kansas State Wildcats (5-1, #82) travel to Stegeman Coliseum in Athens for their first road game of the year and second of four meetings with the SEC as they take on Georgia (3-2, #49) at 6:00 CT. Last time out the Cats had to fight to hold off a determined MEAC opponent, leaving questions as to just how much punch this team has.
Know your opponent
Georgia plays slow -- adjusted tempo at 68 possessions a game, ranked 252nd in Division I. (For comparison, the Cats are ranked 146th at 70.8 per.) They're only slightly above average in adjusted offensive efficiency, ranked 154th, nine spots ahead of the Cats. Defensively, however, the Bulldogs are a threat. Georgia is ranked 30th in adjusted defensive efficiency. Luckily for the Cats, they're ranked 34th. Georgia's schedule is also sort of laughable thus far. Their wins have come against Murray State, High Point, and Oakland. (Somehow, Murray State without Steve Prohm is the worst of those three wins.) They lost to Seton Hall and Chattanooga.
Basically, these two teams are remarkably similiar in terms of efficiency, but the Wildcats move the ball faster. Georgia is favored (Pomeroy predicts 68-64), largely because this game is in Athens. In Manhattan, Georgia would probably be a one- or two-point dog. Or dawg, as it were.
Keep a close watch on:
J.J. Frazier, who has a top-40 assist rate nationally. Kenny Gaines is the primary scoring threat from outside, hitting 18 of 37 so far; Yante Maten is the guy inside, making 21 buckets in five games and earning 41 trips to the line in the process. When Kenny Paul Geno is on the floor, expect the pace to glacialize: he's top-five on Georgia's roster in minutes played, but is actually only active for under 12% of Georgia's possessions. When he's on the floor, the possessions get lo... ong... nger.
Kansas State:
F Wesley Iwundu, 6-7 210 Jr
F Dean Wade, 6-10 225 Fr
F Stephen Hurt, 6-11 265 Sr
G Justin Edwards, 6-4 200 Sr
G Kamau Stokes, 6-0 170 Fr
Georgia:
F Yante Maten, 6-8 240 So
F Houston Kessler, 6-8 225 Jr
G Kenny Paul Geno, 6-6 210 Jr
G Kenny Gaines, 6-3 205 So
G Charles Mann, 6-3 215 So
(Note: Kessler usually starts, but then Georgia tends to bring Frazier (5-10, 155 Jr) in as part of a small package.)
Three Keys to the Game
1. Turnovers
K-State is very good at not turning the ball over, and very good at forcing turnovers. Georgia is very bad at both. That will be a very important key to this game, as the Cats are going to need to keep that process rolling tonight just to meet expectations.
2. Collecting their own mistakes
Another area where K-State has a substantial advantage is on the offensive boards. The Cats, somewhat suprisingly, are now a top-50 team as far as getting their own misses back, recovering on 37.1% of offensive rebound chances. Georgia allows said second chances at a relatively average clip. But on the other end of the court, Georgia is poor at grabbing their own rebounds, while the Cats are a relatively good defensive rebounding team as well. If the Cats can decisively win the battle on the glass, they'll be in good shape.
3. Get to the line
K-State's been very good at this for the most part, 19th in the nation in free throws as a percentage of points scored. Georgia does the same thing, but they're below average at keeping opponents off the line compared to the Cats and the national average. This is a very slight efficiency K-State can exploit, as long as the refs call an average game.

Puzder Hearing Set for January 12
By Howard M. Bloom & Philip B. Rosen on December 29, 2016
Posted in DOL, NLRA, NLRB, On The Hill, Unions and Organizing
According to a report in Politico, an aide to Sen. Lamar Alexander (R. Tenn.), Chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension (HELP) Committee, has revealed that the confirmation hearing for Andrew Puzder, President-Elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of the Department of Labor, will be held on January 12. Puzder is Chief Executive Officer of CKE Holdings, the parent company of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's.
Puzder has criticized state and local minimum wage increases, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and government overregulation, among other things.
If Puzder is confirmed as Secretary of Labor, employers should expect many changes on the labor and other fronts. For a detailed analysis of those expected changes, see our article, Fast-Food Restaurant CEO Tapped to Head Labor Department: What to Expect.

Ever since a small number of controlled blackouts occurred on the Texas Interconnected System in 2011, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has made focused efforts to educate Texas residents on energy conservation. One of their main goals is to make sure that blackouts are not a threat – especially once the summer season hits its peak next June.
• Switch 'em off. Everyone knows that turning lights off when you leave a room conserves energy. However, electricity consumers can save between 10-20% on their monthly energy costs just by switching off lights when leaving a room, according to energy.gov. Remember to unplug unused items as well, such as your phone charger.
• Be modest with your thermostat. We know that Texas temperatures can fluctuate between 35 and 80 degrees in the matter of a few days, regardless of season. Still, you don't have to keep heaters and air conditioners on high for them to keep your rooms comfortable. Resist the urge to turn the AC down too low – or the heat too high. Keeping them between 68 and 72 degrees not only saves energy, but will keep your electricity bill in check, too.
• Wait until 8. If you can wait to use your washer, dryer, or dishwasher until after 8 p.m., it can greatly reduce strain on the grid. These larger appliances take up more energy than smaller ones (think toasters or curling irons), and staggering their use can make a big difference in overall energy consumption.
While the sizzling summer months may seem far off, putting these good energy-saving habits into practice now can help you save money immediately. You'll also help your neighbors by reducing the risk of blackouts in 2014.
Let's work together to keep the Texas electricity grid strong this year.


Winter is a perfect time to work on your plugs that have been beaten up by rocks, reefs, and, with luck, lots of fish. It's a time to rough up their surfaces and to pull out some waterproof markers or paint and restore 'em to new. It's a lot of fun to match colors, or to strip them down and start from scratch.
I play around with colors a lot. One of my favorite stick baits is a blue-over-silver Rebel. It's killer in a hard current when the herring and alewives are around, but I found that it stinks in skinny water on a bright sunny day. A buddy of mine said he was killin' em on that same plug, but he added a twist. He took a green marker and colored over the back so that would match the water color. I tried that a few years and it's now my go-to lure.
Another fun thing to do is to dress up your treble hooks. Fly tiers aren't the only ones who use vices, bobbins, thread, and feathers to create lures. Savvy plug fishermen use the same tools and materials to dress up their plugs to make them, how shall I say, alluring? The same materials can be used for repairing treble hooks or for creating new masterpieces. Twist up some attractor colors or match the color of the bait in the water, your choice. It's a lot of fun, and here's how to do it. And if your trebles are rusted or sharpened beyond recognition, start with a new replacement treble.
Place the treble in the vise.
Select a color of bucktail to match your plug. While white is standard, you may want to use black or a black and purple blend for dark plugs for night fishing. A blend of chartreuse and yellow work great for similarly colored plugs for flats fishing, and olive-brown colors are ideal for greenish-brown backed plugs when fishing over kelp. Think of your bait and the plug you select and match your colors accordingly.
Cut the hair from the bucktail, pull out the small guard hairs near the base, and spread evenly in the treble.
Wrap with thread, tie off with three half hitches or a whip finish, and coat with head cement.
When you've mastered working with bucktail, think about adding some saddle hackles or some flash to make them irresistible. Long, thin hackles work the best because they move easily in the water and they don't impede your casting.


In this sixth issue, Shiseido Running Club's running coach, Ryo Iketani, explains how to set a perfect running pace and the timing of fluid intake for long-distance runners. This issue is a must-read if you participate or are aiming to take part in a marathon race!
Mr. Iketani, who was a strong 1,500m and 5,000m competitive runner, answers common concerns when it comes to participating in a marathon race, such as "what pace should I keep?" or "when is the right timing of fluid intake?" etc. from his professional perspective.
If you're a distance runner, you're surely concerned about your running pace, right? In principle, when you run a long distance, it's important not to run too fast in the early stage. If you use up all your energy in the first half, you'll be soon exhausted, struggling to cross the finish line.
Especially, if you're new to distance running or marathons, you may get ahead of yourself running too fast. So, even if you feel okay, try to slow your pace until the halfway point, so that you can keep a good pace and further expect to speed up in the latter half, in which runners start to feel fatigue. Even during daily running, it's good to keep in mind that you preserve your energy for the latter half.
Breathing also plays an important role in running at the right pace. Some runners may think that it's okay to breathe as usual during a run, however, I wouldn't recommend that. Breathe rhythmically in sync with the movements of your arms and legs while running. It's important to develop a good rhythm, synchronizing your breathing, arms and legs.
During our daily training, I accompany the Club members on runs and pay particular attention to their breathing patterns, checking whether they're in rhythm with the movements of their arms and legs. Some runners may say that a good breathing technique is "to inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth" but I, personally, would rather go with mouth breathing, inhaling and exhaling through the mouth. Some female runners make a sound when they take a breath, and in fact it helps them to recognize if they are doing proper mouth breathing or not.
Speaking of fluid intake, you must make sure that you take enough fluids before, during and after running, and as early as possible. During a race, it's important to take fluids equivalent to "fluid loss via sweat", depending on your running speed, body form and weather conditions, etc.
Take fluids once every 20 minutes or so during a run. If you feel thirsty while running, you're already dehydrated, so even if you don't feel thirsty, you must take fluids regularly. Of course, after running too, you must take enough fluids.
Thanks to Mr. Iketani for his advice on "setting pace" and "fluid intake". Now, you may feel like going for a distance run, right? Here are tips for comfortable distance running, running bags and items to carry.
We want to run as light as possible, don't we? Running without any belongings is, of course, the best style but you still need small items such as a mobile phone and keys even when you head for a short run. Furthermore, if you're aiming for long-distance, you also need mid-run snacks and water, etc.
So here, we introduce useful bags and items to carry according to running distance.
If you go for a quick run, let's say running about 40 minutes or 5km around the neighborhood, I would recommend an arm bag for carrying basic items such as a mobile phone and keys.
Many items have a Velcro strap, so you can adjust the fit to your arm, preventing it from bouncing while running.
When we run more than 10km, we must take fluids (depending on the outside temperature, though).
In such case, a waist bag is very useful because you can carry a water bottle in addition to a mobile phone and keys. With a buckle on the waist, you can easily put it on or take it off and adjust the fit. Some items have a tilted bottle holder, allowing you to handle a water bottle more easily.
Plus, if you run for more than two hours, nearly 20km, you may face the risk of "hunger knock", a sudden loss of energy and fatigue which is caused by the low blood sugar. Even if it's not so serious as hunger knock, running on an empty stomach is dangerous, so I would suggest that it's better to carry a mid-run snack like an energy gel, etc.
More than 25km, such as picnic runs, commuting runs, etc.
If you run more than 25km, which means you run more than two hours, you need good preparation. Needless to say, water and mid-run snacks are vital, but at the same time, you may also experience a sudden change of weather. It's worth carrying an outfit such as a windbreaker, etc. to adjust body temperature. A slightly bigger but not too bulky backpack of 10~15L can be very useful. Additionally, highly functional backpacks with water proofing and a breathable back are also available, which are very handy too.
Some backpacks even have a hydration pack, which includes a drinking straw, so you don't need to bother taking a bottle out of the bag. If you are a regular distance runner, it's highly recommended.
You can run comfortably if you change the bag sizes according to the items (volume) you carry. But more importantly, you need to seek a good fit.
No matter what you choose, an arm bag, waist bag or backpack, select the one that comfortably fits your body while running. A loose bag may distract your focus, so if possible, try first to see if it fits you nicely or not.
I've just said that a mobile phone and keys will do when you go for a short run, but of course, this is only a reference. If you have a concern about your fluid intake, you can carry a bottle, etc. which is perfectly okay. Let's aim for a comfortable, fun run.

Summary: As Musk focuses on Twitter, his $56 billion Tesla pay goes to trial
WILMINGTON, Del., Nov 7 (Reuters) – As Elon Musk is engulfed in his overhaul of Twitter, the entrepreneur is headed to trial to defend his record $56 billion Tesla Inc pay package against claims it unjustly enriches him without requiring his full-time presence at the carmaker.
"If Musk loses this pay package in some massive way, I think we can expect to see a lot of things that are going to be really hard to predict, like what happens going forward in terms of how Tesla is run and how Twitter is paid for," said Ann Lipton, a professor at Tulane Law School.
They portray Musk as a "part-time CEO," citing his testimony that in 2018 he worked Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at the electric carmaker and Monday and Thursday at rocket company SpaceX, according to his deposition.
Musk's vested grants are worth around $50 billion, according to Amit Batish at Equilar, an executive pay research firm.
The trial is likely to focus on Tornetta's claims the package was developed and approved by directors beholden to Musk and promoted to shareholders without revealing the first tranches were probable of being met based on internal projections.

When an employee suffers a work related injury or illness, workers' compensation insurance steps in to provide benefits based on the type of illness or injury sustained. Workers' compensation is based on a no-fault system, which means that an injured employee does not need to prove that the injury or illness was someone else's fault in order to receive workers' compensation benefits for an on-the-job injury or illness. As a California employer you are required under California Labor Code Section 3700 to provide workers' compensation benefits for your employees. You can purchase workers compensation insurance from a licensed insurance company or through the State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF). Employers may also have the option to self-insure. Your broker-agent can assist you with purchasing workers compensation insurance from a licensed insurance company and can assist you with information on SCIF and self-insurance.
LA General Insurance Marketing understands the value of good employees. We know that your day-to-day operations depend on their hard work, expertise, and dedication, and if you supply them with quality benefits and plans, they can work with the peace of mind assurance that they are properly protected.
But should an accident happen, having the right Workers' Compensation plan from LA General Insurance Marketing can allow your business to ensure payments and cover expenses if an employee is injured from a work-related accident. Injuries can range from car accidents and back injuries to equipment malfunctions and, in some unfortunate cases, death.
If your business does not offer Workers Compensation, serious injuries that occur on the job could lead to an employee suing your company for damages. That is why it is important to discuss your options with a specialist at LA General Insurance Marketing who can help you find the right coverage options for all your business needs.


Coming up to the last week of the week of the referendum for the UK's membership of the EU most of the media were reporting about how practically all of the 'opinion polls' suggested the UK would remain in the EU. There was a lot of talk about 'opinion polls' in the lead up to the vote. As with the General Election, they were inaccurate.
Quick note on the validity of opinion polls. You can never rely on them too much. They take a relatively small sample, a few hundred people perhaps, and from their responses they try and predict how a WHOLE NATION will vote. There are 65 million people in the UK now and around 40 million voters. Each is different person with different views.
It's far better to look at the actual results of past elections. In the last EU elections UKIP got more votes than any other party. They also got 4 million votes in the last general election. The Conservative party got the most votes in the last election and plenty of Tories are Eurosceptic. And a lot of Labour voters or voters in traditional 'Labour areas' are too. This suggests a lot of 'anti EU' feeling in the UK.
Anyway... why do I think a lot of the traditional 'TV' media at least was biased towards wanting or leading people to believe that a vote for remaining in the EU was best? Two main reasons I think. One... a lot of TV media such as ITV and Sky News are paid for by advertising... a lot from companies that would benefit from being in the EU like HSBC or LLoyds. Now it may be 'subconscious' and I wouldn't say it was blatantly overt but it isn't a good idea for these companies to annoy their paymasters. The BBC actually gets funding from the EU as well.
And perhaps the people in the traditional media are more likely to favour a Remain vote themselves. A lot of it is based in London which as a city voted to Remain. People are usually convinced that their own ideas are 'right'. It could well be a benefit to them personally if the UK remained in the EU. The FT was overtly in favour of Britain being in the EU and said that we would probably vote to Remain. Of course people like Peter Mandleson and others funded by the EU such as many MEPs are going to advocate a Remain view.
And have you noticed that once the result has been released the traditional or mainstream media has been quite... somber? In general you could describe the tone as worried.
Anyway... I'm doing poker at the same time so time to wrap this article up for now. A few key points- just because the mainstream media want something to be true doesn't mean that it is. Everyone is doing what they think is best for themselves- people will produce things to try and make you believe what they believe sometimes. It would have been better for me to trust my instincts and knowledge that the country was going to vote Leave and sold some of my shares accordingly.
Quick edit... I understand there are pros and cons of being in the EU... just feel that this concept is interesting to explore.
It's fine being a 'long term buy and hold' investor generally but with events like this you have to know when to sell. I told myself this would potentially be a time to sell (yesterday) a long time ago but I didn't do it. I have to promise myself that if an event like this comes around in the future I will sell before the drop.
I mean there's no point being buy and hold forever because eventually I'll die and need to sell at some point anyway.
If I'm going to 'take anything' out of this result it should be to trust my instincts not the 'mass media'. I should have sold practically all my shares yesterday but since I haven't sold for over 9 years it's almost like I don't know how to sell. Selling yesterday and possibly buying back today would have been a good move.
I have voted to Remain in the EU. This was probably the most difficult political decision of my life, based on many hours of research. Being directly honest with you, it was my position as a share investor that was the key factor. If we remain in the EU shares will continue to go up if we leave they will fall down sharply at least in the short term. If you're a share investor you probably know this already, but I was shocked just how much the market went down just at the THOUGHT we could leave the EU.
There also could be economic issues if we leave the EU. Plenty of companies have said so, but to be honest with you Martin Lewis and Chris Bailey believing there could be problems leads me to believe there at least could be. I can see how for the companies I partly own it could cause problems anyway.
I hope the closeness of this election will lead the UK to implement a tougher immigration policy. This may be difficult but with nearly half or just over half of voters thinking they should leave the EU they must try.
Anyway at least you know how I voted now. Probably the main thing you can take from this article is that if you're a share investor it's safer for you personally at the moment to vote Remain.
Often I just write something out to produce new content... but there are a number of high quality articles on this blog. Here's a selection of some of the best.
If you got something out of these articles please Donate Now and I'll write more!
Nice to see shares and oil recover today. Shares up over £1000 so far.
Figured out how to do videos and audio... will be creating some new content!
The moment you commit, the magic is gone."
I'm reading one of the best books in my life... while listening to music and winning at poker :) Going to apply the lessons of this book- already am doing and will do more.
At some point, possibly September this year, 12 Newbury Walk will be available either as a whole property or for one tenant in that property.
The rent will be around £540 for the whole property or around £280 for one tenant. The deposit will be about five weeks rent.
This is a good opportunity for you. The property cost £124,000 and improvements have been made to it since then. The property has 2 bedrooms, new boiler, good condition and a free parking space. There is an alarm system and I'm considering investing in CCTV for the property. There is also free visitor parking. It's a new build with a water meter so the running costs are low.
With the one tenant option you will be living with me so it's key that you're someone I will get along with. You'll probably have a full time job and good social intelligence.
So I'm letting you all know now so you have plenty of time to prepare for this!
I started reading a book yesterday and it was good enough to change my mind. I'm going to keep this book to myself for now because it's THAT GOOD but if you're a close friend I'll tell you.
Important point... getting high quality info FROM BOOKS is GOOD. I'm going to spend more time doing this and less time 'surfing the internet'.
Good writing and books stand the test of time. For self development books though the key is if THEY MAKE YOU TAKE ACTION. I've read quite a lot of them but now I'm just going to put the principles into action. I already am doing but will more.
So yeah over 58,000 views from all around the world now... amazing. Clicking with people from around the globe, a hundred years ago it would have been practically impossible. There's more to come- video content and more 'business' perhaps.
If you find value in this site and my goals CLICK BELOW NOW to donate. Donations are also at a record high and the more you donate the more high quality value I'll be able to provide.
I'm comfortably six figures in money but it's still part of life so I want to get more. Feel free to get in contact with me if you want me to write for your site.
Bought more LLoyds at 67p- good value at this price. Winning at poker. Life is about taking opportunities.
Poker going very nicely today- winning record over 530,000 hands now.
I'm speaking to plenty of interesting employers so if you a decent opportunity feel free to contact me.
Oil's doing very well- I've bought BP once this year and Shell three times and all are in decent profit.
Going to be investing some time contacting jobs today if you're an interesting employer feel free to contact me.
Exercise is v important and I'm going to do more!
If you speak to high quality people it can make you up your game. Let's go in direct with one recent example from me. Chris Bailey Financial Orbit and I talk about shares most days. He seems to work AT LEAST A TWELVE HOUR DAY on shares practically EVERY DAY. Been reading more of his writing recently... helps me learn more about shares. Thankfully I've bought more Shell recently which he also has and it's done very well. But talking and reading his writing it's clear that there's a lot more I can learn about shares. And I have to push my comfort zone to earn more money to invest in shares.
If you speak to high quality women makes you realize that you may well have to UP YOUR GAME if you're going to connect with them. An attractive socially intelligent (possibly rich too) woman will have LOTS OF OPTIONS. The good thing is though a socially intelligent man who talks to attractive women has lots of options too... but really I think just drives you on to improve yourself just so you can be with that level of woman.
It's like... male and female energy bounces off each other. Those attractive girls ARE wanting for a high quality man to talk to them... because there aren't too many around who will!
I honestly think buying cigarette shares at the right price is one of the soundest investments. Will do it more in future.
"But to a writer... the truth is no big deal."
Shows goal focus... my shares might make over £1000 today (and total wealth I'm comfortably six figures) yet I'm still going to ring up jobs as I like new challenges :) At the same time making money doing poker and other things online.
Goal day :) Checking shares, more poker and ringing up jobs!
Shares are up about £1500 today... I'd like to ask employers recruiting... would you rather have an employee who was smart enough to have a six figure share portfolio or one who wasn't smart enough for that?
Blasting this one out quite quick but again it's one of those minimalist creations that could actually help YOU make more money too.
I tell people that I 'manage a six figure share portfolio'. And I do. It's just that my idea of managing it is to buy good shares and just... hold them. It's a bit like a surreal dream when they go up THOUSANDS OF POUNDS A DAY... with me doing NOTHING.
But anyway. Yesterday at one point Shell were up 2% on the price I bought them a few trading hours before. Even with FTSE 100 shares you will see this quite often- there are rises of say 3% within a few hours of trading.
So anyway... just a quick thought entered my mind. I could actually just sell the Shell and make a profit on my trade. I didn't as this would defeat the purpose of its great dividend yield... and I BELIEVE it will go up more in future. However I and you COULD sell shares like that after a short period and make money. It would be better to do that and make money rather than having it in the bank earning little interest.
Hmm hmm hmm. At some point in my life probably I will do some 'shorter term trading' as unless I can be the only person who CHEATS DEATH I will die eventually. So you don't need 'long term investments' when you're dead. I could just do some shorter term trading and spend the money if I wanted to.
Little bit of thought needed to get this next bit out... ok then I think I've found a fun way of expressing though. You COULD make money that way but... hmm I think it's good if you have the experience of being a long term investor doing it too. I mean some people like to or have 'day traded' before. There's 'plenty of profit to be made'. But I think if you're investing KNOWING that you HAVE to sell in like a day or a few days that's bad. All depends how much money you make. I am not a day trader... people like Rupert Hargreaves have more experience in that than me!
Quick final blast. The ability of MANAGING a six figure share portfolio shows in HOW MUCH PROFIT YOU MAKE. That's all that counts. Over 11 years in there are still different things I could be doing to make more money. And it fully made me realize that with a bit more money I could be a full time investor if I wanted to be.
Really on the hustle today- bought Shell at a good price, getting easy money doing surveys, doing poker as I type. A lot of jobs have contacted me and I'm looking for an interesting role to start ASAP!
Looking at shares to buy... two fairly new thoughts. One is that "better to buy than interest" one and there's potentially one share in my portfolio I may sell if I feel I can get better returns elsewhere.
Another thought about executing a trade... this may be important if you have little time/you earn a HIGH amount per hour. What I can do now if I want is access the latest trades, make the right calculation on how much I want to invest then make the trade quickly if I want. Or as I have been doing 'stalk' the price to get it SLIGHTLY CHEAPER sometimes. But you have to ask yourself- the downside is I could have got it slightly cheaper perhaps... but how much upside is there? Food for thought.

Sheng Siong Q2 net profit up 6.4% to S$17.1m
Mon, Jul 30, 2018 - 6:08 PM
Janice Hengjaniceh@sph.com.sg@JaniceHengBT
SUPERMARKET chain Sheng Siong Group's net profit grew 6.4 per cent to S$17.1 million for the second quarter ended June 30, up from S$16.1 million in the year-ago period, the group announced on Monday evening after the market closed.
This was on the back of a 5.7 per cent rise in revenue to S$213 million, mainly contributed by the opening of new stores - four in the first quarter and three in the last five months of FY 2017 - and comparable sales from existing stores.
As at June 30, Sheng Siong had 48 stores in Singapore and one in China, compared to 42 in Singapore a year before. The opening of two new stores in Bukit Batok and Yishun on July 13 has since taken the number of Singapore stores to 50.
Earnings per share for the second quarter rose 6.5 per cent to 1.14 Singapore cents, from 1.07 Singapore cents for Q2 2017. Sheng Siong has declared an interim cash dividend of 1.65 Singapore cents per share.
Chief executive officer Lim Hock Chee said: "In line with our commitment to expand our retail network across Singapore, particularly in areas we do not have a presence, we will stay focused but disciplined to look for new retail space. Nurturing the growth of our new stores in Singapore and China, and rejuvenating the old stores remain one of our key priorities.
SEE ALSO: Brokers' take
"We will continue with our efforts in lowering input cost by improving the sales mix with a higher proportion of fresh produce, and increasing labour productivity by deploying smart processes and systems," he added. Lower input costs, along with a better sales mix, contributed to Sheng Siong's improved gross margin of 27.3 per cent in the second quarter, compared to 26.8 per cent in the year-ago period.
Sheng Siong's shares closed down two Singapore cents or 2 per cent at S$1.07 on Monday before the results announcement.

Q: AIR: How to set NativeWindow type to Utility The nativeWindow supports systemChrome (standard,none) and transparent (false,true); These options are in the Adobe AIR Application Descriptor File (xml)
    <!-- The type of system chrome to use (either "standard" or "none"). Optional. Default standard. -->
    <!-- <systemChrome></systemChrome> -->

    <!-- Whether the window is transparent. Only applicable when systemChrome is none. Optional. Default false. -->
    <!-- <transparent></transparent> -->

But I can't find the option to set the window type (utility,normal,lightweight) as seen on the TourDeFlex under Air Applications -> AIR APIs and Techniques -> Native Windows.
From the application can be accessed just as a read-only property.
Where's the right place to set this property?
A good example of usage could be: minitask.org
Thanks!
Edit: The window should start in the UTILITY mode

A: you have to set the NativeWindowType of your window via NativeWindowInitOptions's type property when you instantiate a window.
more here:  AIR Window Basics

A: You may not be able to do this with a main application window.  A trick you could use is:
function MainConstructor() {

    var opt:NativeWindowInitOptions = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
    opt.type = NativeWindowType.UTILITY;

    var window:NativeWindow = new NativeWindow(opt);
    window.activate();
    window.stage.addChild(new PreviousMainConstructor());

    stage.nativeWindow.close();
}

this just opens a new utility window, and closes the main application window

A: this.type = NativeWindowType.UTILITY;
