The Federal Trade Commission asked a federal judge to shut down an operation that allegedly blasted consumers with millions of illegal spam text messages, including many messages that deceptively advertised a mortgage modification website called "Loanmod-gov.net." The FTC is asking the court to freeze the defendant's assets.
According to the FTC complaint, the defendant behind the operation, Phillip A. Flora, sent millions of text messages, pitching loan modification assistance, debt relief, and other services. In one 40-day period, Flora sent more than 5.5 million spam text messages, a "mind boggling" rate of about 85 per minute, every minute of every day, according to additional court documents filed by the agency. The FTC alleges that consumers lose money as a result of Flora's spam text messaging because many of them get stuck paying fees to their mobile carriers to receive the unwanted text messages.
The FTC charges that Flora violated the FTC Act by sending unsolicited commercial text messages to consumers, and by misrepresenting that he was affiliated with a government agency. In addition, the FTC charges that he advertised his text message blasting services by sending consumers e-mail spam that violated the CAN-SPAM Act – a law that sets the rules for commercial email. The FTC alleges that his e-mail spam failed to include a way for consumers to "opt-out" of future messages and failed to include the physical mailing address of the sender, as required by the law.
The FTC acknowledges the invaluable assistance it received from Verizon Wireless, AT&T, and CTIA - The Wireless Association in this matter.
The Commission vote authorizing the staff to file the complaint was 5-0. It was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

Concert Review: NIGHT DEMON Devoured Kansas City
Darkness Over North America Tour
By Jeffrey Allee	 On Aug 25, 2018
Usually on a Wednesday night, one would be at home after a days work, listening to music or enjoying dinner with a nice movie. I, myself, would be listening to music or spending the evening carting my children around to their various activities that they partake in. However, this wasn't the case for the Wednesday falling onto August 15th, as the explosive heavy metal band Night Demon were gracing themselves upon Kansas City, with their main support, Blood Star, opening up for them.
I'd experienced Night Demon before in the past, about two times if I remember correctly. Each time, they decided to take their act to The Riot Room, a venue I've covered many times before and has basically become a second home for myself and others. Night Demon has managed to garner quite a bit of attention to get it filled up over the years and this night was no exception. Although there was a comfortable energy to the room that night, there were definitely some surprises to be had, especially with the opening act in the newly formed heavy metal band Blood Star.
Blood Star hails from Salt Lake City, Utah, playing heavy metal similar to that of Night Demon, but with Madi Smith at the helm of the beast, with strong yet charismatic heavy metal styled vocals. Salt Lake City is known to house many great bands, including one of my favorites, Visigoth, and tonight Blood Star showed that they very much belong to that exceptional scene. Their music mainly comprised of medium-paced and riffy heavy metal paying homage to the greats of the past. While they don't have any music out there just yet, they played many of their own originals as well as top-notch covers. Fog spanned the entire stage, giving off a mysterious and elusive vibe that matched their persona. Their stage presence was magnificent and truly showed how experienced they were even though they are relatively unknown to the scene up to this point. They were perfect openers for Night Demon, setting up the stage perfectly for the heavy metal that was to follow them shortly.
Night Demon , touring in support of their beastly new album Darkness Remains, took the stage soon after, with an explosive entrance. Everyone were immediately banging their heads in time with the band, some having already made their way to the stage to partake in the festivities. Frontman Jarvis Leatherby sounded at his best, belting out powerful vocals on top of his thunderous bass lines. He was clearly aiming to dominate the stage with his presence from the get go and had no problems doing so. Armand Anthony played magnificent guitar solos, with the crowd worshipping his shredding skills, constantly bowing to him and his guitar as he played. Every minute was on fire, with both Armand and Jarvis constantly taking the helm during each song, moving the crowds view from side to side constantly. Drummer Dusty Squires wasn't always at the center of attention but he played brilliantly, not missing a beat at all. He commanded the percussion with utmost aplomb and was definitely a favorite of mine from the evening. Night Demon were at the top of their game tonight, being the most energetic I had seen them. I'm not sure exactly what had changed from the previous shows, but I'm sure glad it happened as I thoroughly enjoyed every single moment of the night.
Both bands pulled out all the stops with their sets in their own ways. While being classified as heavy metal, they each had their own identity and style that compliment one another quite well. Blood Star easily made new fans on this tour, especially with me, and hopefully continue to garner support. Their talent is remarkable and they deserve to be on future tours with well known heavy metal artists. Night Demon brought out old and new fans to the venue, hopefully spreading the word even more about themselves. All in all, heavy metal was alive in Kansas City this night, and shows no signs of stopping either. These are the kind of nights that really shine, seeing metalheads come together just to rock out and have a good time.
Night Demon unleashed its triple live album, Live Darkness earlier this month. If you want to capture the magic of their live performances, pick up a copy now.

San Diego's second annual Communicating Science workshop (ComSciCon) was held September 15-16th at the University of California San Diego Qualcomm Institute, drawing researchers (primarily graduate and postdoctoral) from all over Southern California who wanted to hone their communication skills through a combination of lecture, discussion, and hands-on workshops.
ComSciCon began in 2013, and the first national conference—sponsored by Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology—was held in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Since then, a growing number of local ComSciCon workshops have been popping up all over the country.
Stephanie Fine Sasse, the CEO, co-founder and creative director of The People's Science, delivered the workshop's keynote lecture where she introduced tools for making science more publicly accessible. Early on in her career, Sasse witnessed the disconnect between policy makers and scientists and was bewildered by how many policies were at odds with relevant research findings. This experience, in part, led to her founding The People's Science, a non-profit whose slogan, "Science for Everyone," illustrates the organization's overall goal.
Elizabeth Jacobs, co-chair of Public Relations and Outreach for the Association for Women in Science, believes that inclusivity should be a topic for discussion between colleagues or even within friend groups. "In your immediate circles, don't be afraid to help people recognize their own biases," she said.

As part of their drive towards synchronizing the consumption and production of electrical energy over the long term, energy distribution companies tailor their rates to encourage consumers to reduce their requirements during peak periods.
A number of different strategies are possible, depending on consumption levels and operating requirements: restricting demand (see Figure above), avoiding peak periods, load scheduling or even generating additional energy on site.
Energy distribution companies can use this solution in supply contracts containing optional or emergency (involving compulsory limits) restrictive clauses whose application is determined by the consumer (based on special rates).
This management policy is typically used during the hottest or coldest months of the year when companies and private customers have very high requirements for ventilation, air conditioning and heating, and when electricity consumption exceeds normal demand considerably.
Reducing consumption in this way can prove problematic in residential and service sector environments, as they may considerably inconvenience building occupants. Customers from industry may show more of an interest in this type of scheme and could benefit from contracts reducing unit costs by up to 30% if they have a high number of non-essential loads.
This method involves moving consumption peaks in line with the different rates available. The idea is to reduce bills, even if overall consumption remains the same.
This management strategy is an option for companies able to benefit from lower rates by scheduling consumption for all their processes where time of day is neither important nor critical.
The use of generating sets to supply energy improves operational flexibility by providing the energy needed to continue normal operations during periods of peak or restricted demand. An automated control system can be configured to manage this energy production in line with needs and the rates applicable at any given time.
When energy supplied from outside becomes more expensive than energy generated internally, the control system automatically switches between the two.
Demand charges are reset monthly and are based on the highest rate at which electricity is consumed during periods that are peak utility service hours. Demand charges are measured in kilowatts and, depending on the utility service provider, the highest consumption rate is measured in 15- or 30-minute intervals during peak hours or contracted value.
Demand charges form a significant portion of a company's monthly electric bill.
Peak load management strategies that lower a facility's demand during times when the peak demand is measured can result in significant facility cost savings, especially for commercial, industrial and governmental sectors.
Smart electrical load management solutions are designed to gain advanced control and minimize cost. They include applications to help reduce downtime, reduce energy costs, support capacity planning, improve efficiency and provide a view into the system as a whole.

Today the Treasury Department published the names of individuals who renounced their U.S. citizenship or terminated their long-term U.S. residency ("expatriated") during the second quarter of 2014. The number of published expatriates for the quarter was 576. The number of published expatriates for the first half of 2014 has been 1,577 (1,001 + 576). Last year there was a record setting 2,999 published expatriates.
"We do not believe that the primary reason for the increase in expatriations is for political purposes...." -- Of course not, and be sure to substitute opinion for research, despite the biggest "change" to our nation during the upsurge in people renouncing their citizenship has been the occupation of the White House by an incompetent who rules based upon left-wing ideology rather than governs by the Constitution.
Of course, there is no evidence that none of these people are U.S. citizens. Some of the names appear foreign, although they might very well have been Americans, and some of the names like Smith and Jones are obviously Canadian, British and Australian.
People used to come to US because America was a place to receive the hard workers, entrepreneurs, high-skilled professionals and scientists. Today, is clear that America wants the under-skilled and the takers in the name of social-justice. Too bad.

COVID-19 Update – June 10, 2021
After 14 months of COVID isolation, it looks like the country, the refugee resettlement program, and Open Doors for Refugees are all starting to get back on our feet.
From March 2020 until May 2021, almost no new refugees arrived in Madison (just a few individuals in September). The refugee resettlement program nationally and locally ground to a halt, as did all Open Doors' programs that involved any direct contact with refugees or the public.
Our Transportation team delivered meals from food pantries, our ESL team moved to virtual conversation partners, our Home Supplies team went from delivering home supply products to buying and sending gift cards online, our Events team focused on individualized fund raising, and what meetings we had went virtual. Beyond that, we pivoted from providing services to providing financial support (over $30,000 in total) to families hard hit by the pandemic.
Finally, happily, and thankfully, after months of isolation and limited activity, all that is now changing.
From late April this year until early June, four new families arrived (nearly one family a week), and Open Doors, working closely with Jewish Social Services and JSS volunteers, set up fully furnished apartments for them. As our inventory of furniture and household items was rapidly depleted, we've had to ramp up our solicitation, collection, and storage activities.
Beyond that, our Transportation team is back to providing rides to new arrivals, the ESL team is revamping its ESL program, the Home Supply team will move back to delivering products in August, the Events team is planning the first actual convocation events this summer, and we'll shoot to resurrect our bi-monthly Public Introductory meetings starting in August.
However, after 14 months of inactivity, it seems many of our volunteers have moved onto other interests and we are looking for help for several of our teams. If you are interested in working with us, please send an email to OpenDoorsVolunteers@gmail.com, and our volunteer coordinator will get back to you shortly.

Amongst many other debt solutions, DebtBusters can help you with debt consolidation in South Africa. With debt consolidation, you add all of your debt into a single account, rather than paying off many accounts at a time. This is great for those who need a more manageable solution to making debt payments, as it can lower the amount of interest you have to pay or allow you to obtain a fixed interest rate. It can also make you more likely to get credit and lower interest rates in the future.
To find out if debt consolidation is the right thing for you, it is best to speak to one of our consultants. We will evaluate your financial situation and budget, and work accordingly to make sure that you have enough capacity to make the monthly payment. The consultant will only need a few documents from you, after which they will contact financial institutions and provide reasons for your suitability to debt consolidation. There are costs pertaining to debt consolidation, but they are not significant when you consider the money you will save from consolidating your debts in the long run.
DebtBusters will be able to advise on the suitability of debt consolidation to your specific financial situation, as there are instances where it would prove unsuitable. Our consultants will be able to help you with regards to secured and unsecured debt consolidation, and advise as to which would be most favourable to your outstanding debts. Operating on a national basis, we can also provide you with debt counselling or a debt review in South Africa.
We will also make a detailed list of viable credit providers and what they can offer you, so that you are able to make an informed choice. We help to reduce the amount of administrative tasks you have to perform during the process of consolidating your debts − saving you much time and frustration.
As mentioned, debt consolidation could save you on monthly payments and interest rates, which has made it a viable option for many. To find out if debt consolidation in South Africa is an option for you, contact DebtBusters today.

Really thrilled with the LA-610!
Discussion in 'Microphones (live or studio)' started by EricWatkins, May 3, 2008.
On the internet a lot of people kind of beat this piece of gear up for one reason or another, so I was hesitant to purchase one but I took the plunge following my gut with what I was looking for in terms of sound and flexibility. I'm glad I did. It was a little tough to 'figure out' how to get what I wanted out of it, but now that I have, I'm very happy with it as well. I think it's a great piece for the money.
I'm with you on the EQ...that's what started to get me thinking that buying the matching EQ for my Great River would be a cool thing to have.
I just used it to record a vocal on an acoustic track this weekend. If I can permission from the writer, I'll post it later.
While I really like and prefer the 6176, I recently obtained an LA610 in a trade for services. I wasn't expecting to be blown away, and I wasn't, but it is a good sounding tool.
I often like the color I can get with the compressor enabled and the gain reduction set .5 or less, trying to keep the meter from moving. I may try to mod it do something so that the compressor is something that is much more usefull and desired.

The Positive Birth Movement i gCondae Dhún na nGall
A version of this post was published in Donegal Woman on Oct 20th 2017
https://www.facebook.com/positivebirthdonegal/
Any pregnant woman will tell you that once your bump begins to show, people are falling over themselves to tell you birth stories. Very often these stories are far from positive ones, and if the listener is a first time mother-to-be, the fear factor quickly begins to ratchet up as she realises that she too may meet a similar fate. In truth, its virtually a cultural norm to expect birth to be a difficult journey. Every film with a birth-scene has a woman on her back, legs akimbo grimacing or howling in pain. Documentary-style programs like 'One Born Every Minute' paint the same picture. In such an environment, mothers-to-be have an uphill battle to avoid the steady stream of birth negativity, and quite often, with the prize of a healthy child in their sights, they resign themselves to 'necessary' suffering when the fateful day arrives.
In the near future however, pregnant mother's in Co. Donegal will have a new beacon of positivity in the form of free-to-attend Positive Birth Movement meet-ups. The PBM is a global network of informal antenatal discussion groups that encourage peers to meet, discuss, and help navigate each other through the birth journey. In these groups, fear of childbirth is replaced by information, affirmation and empowerment.
Maria Coleman, a pregnancy yoga teacher and positive birth and mental health advocate, is the point of contact for the Positive Birth Movement in Co. Donegal. "I am particularly eager to get this movement going in Co. Donegal, since the county is unique in Ireland in that we have no midwife-led maternity unit, or supports for homebirth. Every birth therefore happens in hospital. In my own case, and for many other mothers in the county that meant an hour-long journey on bumpy roads, something that's far from ideal for a birthing mother." Both of Maria's children, born in 2008 and 2014, were born in Letterkenny, in situations she likes to describe as 'home-births in a hospital'.
"I was doing a PhD when I got pregnant with our first child so it was a natural progression to wear my research hat with regard to pregnancy and birth. I was carrying a pelvic injury from a road traffic accident and I knew it would be more than foolhardy to attempt to fulfill my home-birth dream while living rurally with no supports, so I researched extensively to fully inform myself as to hospital procedures and quickly came to the conclusion that although I would deliver my baby in the hospital, I would not be accepting routine interventions and would instead be asking for a hands-off approach.
My 'secret weapons' were preparation and support from my husband. I did yoga to strengthen and open my body and prepare me mentally for the challenges ahead. We hired a doula to come to our home and work with us one-to-one to prepare us for what to expect on the day. We both did Hypnobirthing training and Marie Mongan's 'Hypnobirthing' book became my bible, and theaccompanying CD became the soundtrack of the pregnancy and birth. The key to the whole thing was writing a well-considered birth plan - and this is a key piece of advice I would give anyone hoping to navigate a similar path. Crucially also, have your partner involved and informed regarding every element of the birth plan. He is your key advocate throughout, who can offer you support as well as gently, or forcefully remind the care staff of your wishes as the birth unfolds."
"I can't wait to get the PBM meetings up and running in the county. I will travel to any area where 5 mothers or couples can gather, and through open and optimistic conversation around birth we can begin to change the narrative and spread positivity from a grassroots level. Its important to me also that these meetings are free, so that there are no financial barriers there to stifle the message. Although I am a pregnancy yoga teacher, I won't be doing the 'hard sell' at these meetings. The message is too important to make it about business leads. I am a firm believer in social enterprise, and my business is very socially engaged, giving back not only through the upcoming voluntary work with the Positive Birth Movement but also through LÁMHA: Life Affirming Mental Health Action, a wellness initiative I co-founded with Linda Uí Ghallchóir in 2016. LÁMHA's current focus is on Beoga, a teen wellness program currently available to Donegal secondary schools. LÁMHA plan an event in summer 2018 that will focus on maternal mental wellness, with a Men's shed wellness event also in the pipeline. I also volunteer as a European Citizen Journalist and will be representing Donegal (and Ireland) at an upcoming Ladder Citizen Journalist event in Strasbourg in November. My next article for this initiative will put Donegal maternity experiences in a global context, so watch this space. "
Positive birth messages are already being channelled through a social media feed from the Facebook page 'Positive Birth Donegal' which Maria curates with the help of Letterkenny Doula, Erin Ponsonby. Maria is also working on the website www.positivebirth.ie which will provide local, national and international sources of information regarding pregnancy, birth and postnatal supports. It also offers a platform for local service providers, yoga teachers, doulas, counsellors etc. to make themselves known to expectant mums, new parents and those wishing to conceive in Co. Donegal. This site will also include a blog where positive birth stories can be shared. "I would love to hear from people who want to share their positive birth stories to provide hope to those navigating the journey, so please make contact if you wish to share yours." Summing up her efforts, Maria's closing message is simple, "I believe the greatest barrier to a positive birth experience is fear, and no matter how the journey unfolds, I know that information and preparation can change fear into empowerment. After all, birth is our female 'superpower.' We need to reclaim it! "

Q: Issues when enabling or disabling optional windows features in C# using PowerShell (System.Management.Automation) I can enable or disable optional windows features using c# but I cant get the contents of the PSOutput properties as PowerShellInst.Streams.Error always catch an error because the command Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature (usually) needs a restart.
So, how i can avoid the "restart-error-message" and get the output results of my script, which will be in my case for example:
Path          :
Online        : True
RestartNeeded : True

Code used:
    string psScript = @"Import-Module Dism; Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process; Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName TelnetClient;";

    using (PowerShell PowerShellInst = PowerShell.Create())
    {
        PowerShellInst.AddScript(psScript);
        Collection<PSObject> PSOutput = PowerShellInst.Invoke();

        if (PowerShellInst.HadErrors) //fires everytime because the installation of an optional feature (usually) need a restart.
        {
            foreach (var error in PowerShellInst.Streams.Error)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(error.ToString()); //"do you want to restart 'error' message" here.
            }
        }

        else
        {
            foreach (var result in PSOutput) //result.Properties content is what i need
            {
                if (result != null)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(result.Properties["Online"].Value.ToString());
                    Console.WriteLine(result.Properties["RestartNeeded"].Value.ToString());
                }
            }
        }
    }

On September 16, Senate Finance Committee (SFC) officials urged Congress to extend the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) before funding expires in September 2015, leaving millions of children without coverage, and families of those who manage to find coverage elsewhere, faced with higher out-of-pocket costs.
Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), who chaired a Finance Committee hearing on the topic, said CHIP has cut the uninsured rate for children in half and allowing funding to lapse would be "a step backwards." CHIP covers about 8 million children. Rockefeller, one of the architects of the CHIP program, is retiring at the end of this Congress. CHIP should be celebrated for its "essential role" in getting kids covered, Rockefeller told his colleagues, adding "CHIP has been a game changer."
The Department of Medicaid has confirmed that the ten percent holdback of the November 2013 Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments were mailed September 22.
The final share factor used to distribute the balance of DSH funds for the November 2013 distribution is the same share factor that will be used by Medicaid when making the DSH payments for November 2014 and November 2015. Since the Federal funding has not changed for the next two years, and the share factor is constant, the Medicaid DSH payments for the next two years should be essentially the same as the payment for November 2013.

How these bosses are bringing 'St Tropez to the Broads'
PUBLISHED: 13:05 05 June 2019 | UPDATED: 13:05 05 June 2019

Two of East Anglia's biggest tourism businesses are celebrating 75 years afloat. Caroline Culot spoke to bosses Greg Munford, of Richardson's, and Simon Altham, of Hoseasons.

It would have been easy for these two holiday giant businesses, both founded in 1944 by gentlemen of the Broads, to be bitter rivals.
Instead, bosses Greg Munford, from Richardson's, and Simon Altham, from Hoseasons, decided a decade ago that for each company to thrive in what was an increasingly challenging market, they needed to work together. But change was needed.

The Richardson's family initiated a huge step change in 2009 when the decision was taken to bring boat building in-house.

Until then, boats were built using generic mouldings which meant every boat on the Broads looked the same.
Richardson's, founded by the late Robert Richardson, decided it needed to design a new fleet from scratch so invested to create its own mouldings and attracted a new clientele while still pleasing its core customers.
"Before 2009, the perception was that we were an old, tired fleet, and because we are 40% of the overall market on the Broads, it gave an perception of the Broads that it was old fashioned, and not a modern holiday environment," said Greg 52.
Since 2009, Richardson's built 34 new cruisers, costing up to £300,000 each, and bringing as Greg, said, quoting Simon, "a bit of St Tropez to the Broads" in the form of vessels like the Commodore and Commander with a sun lounge on the top and luxurious interiors which appeal to a high-end customer.

"Even though we have only got 34 of the next generation cruiser and 60 of our Platinum fleet in total out of 290 boats, the perception of Richardson's now is we are a leading, luxury brand," Greg added.
"Before when people wanted to upgrade, they had to go to another operator, we lost them. We were in a diminishing market but since 2009 by introducing these new designs, we've seen the whole business grow."
Simon, 44, said what followed was a change in many other businesses connected with the Broads. "What goes slightly unnoticed is because of the revolution, let's call it that, of boating on the Broads led by Richardson's, a lot of pubs have been revamped, on the northern Broads you would be hard pushed to find one which hasn't undergone a transformation because someone rocking up in a luxury boat wants a quality dining experience.
"From bakeries and fish and chip shops, supermarkets and shops in places along the Broads like Wroxham and Horning, they've all needed to change."
Despite both companies being founded offering boating holidays, each has evolved differently with Richardson's building its own boats at its Stalham base and offering some land-based holidays too in the form of caravans, chalets and lodges at the Hemsby Beach Holiday Park.
Hoseasons has become a massive national company offering all kinds of holidays - and acting as an operator for Richardson's - and with boating now just 2.5% of its overall business.
However, over the past decade, Greg and Simon have both risen up the ranks at the same time to become leaders of their businesses and their partnership has helped drive forward the changes.
A lot of that has been understanding how the very nature of holidays has changed.

Simon said: "Eight years ago, the investment just wasn't buoyant. I remember talking about wi-fi and the answer was just 'no, you'll never get wi-fi on a boat'." Greg added: "Now every single one of our boats has wi-fi."
One of the ventures Greg and Simon have worked together on was at Hemsby.
"Hemsby was built in the 1960s and up until recently had the same footprint as it did all those years ago - how long was this sustainable?" asked Simon.

"If you think of Debenhams or Jamie's you launch something that's new and different but if it just stays the same, customers get bored.
"One of the fascinating things about working with Hemsby for me, which has been a resounding success, is that you had to evolve it. When we first talked about it, I asked 'do high rent users want to come to Hemsby which had a reputation for being a kiss-me-quick destination?'
"But when you go down to the beach it is one of the most beautiful, so the high-end customer has come. The future of holidays is about time together, exploring the local countryside, walking on the beach, it's safe too.
"When we were younger we used to go out and drink but young people just don't do that, Our parents took us on a holiday overseas, caked us in coconut oil and left us on a beach all day but where the domestic market is really succeeding is that it is all about experiences."

As business partners, they have worked together with Richardson's investing £10m into Hemsby, testing the market at first with five new lodges last year but by February this year they had all sold out - so they added another eight and have now got planning permission for a further 28.
Another success has been hot tubs. Richardson's put three into caravans last season which sold out in four months so have added another 16 hot tubs to their caravan and lodge portfolio. Both Greg and Simon started out in holiday parks. Greg, the son of an accountant, started working in amusement arcades when his family moved to Clacton and years later, when selling up some amusements, it was Clive Richardson, son of the late founder Robert, who came with a trailer to buy them.
They got talking and Greg was offered a job.
Simon, from Lancashire, the son of a merchant navy captain, left university and worked in holiday parks before being snapped up by Hoseasons 15 years ago.

The proof of the pair's impact is in the figures. Richardson's has seen sales increase from £3.5m to £4.6m since 2009 on its boating holidays and in 10 years has gone from a £21m turnover losing £1.8m a year to now turning over £12.4m and making a £2.4m profit.
Hoseasons, with 31,000 properties on its books, is on course for its ninth record year in a row with a 200% growth in sales in the last 10 years and now takes a million more people on holiday than it did 15 years ago.
Greg said: "Work is my life, I love it, but when you love what you do, you never work a day again in your life."

Next in line is the South Western Railway where one in 70 trains have skipped stops, followed by Southeastern train which missed one in 100 stations.
Further the Heathrow Express had no stop-skipping incidents among the normal train operators the best performer was Chiltern and Virgin Trains East Coast.
A Department for Transport (DfT) spokesperson stated that their railways are more intensively used today than at any time in our history. While across the network, fewer than 1 per cent of stops are skipped per day. Any inconvenience caused by stop-skipping to passengers was regrettable.
It is seen that it helps restoring the timetable, benefiting many more people across the wider network.

Boson is an OpenGL real-time strategy game, with the feeling of Command&Conquer(tm) or StarCraft(tm). It is designed to run on Unix (Linux) computers, and is built on top of the KDE, Qt and kdegames libraries.
A minimum of two players is required, since there is no artificial intelligence yet.
Yea, it looks pretty good to me too, except it won't compile, like ever other program on my computer, cause I don't know how to get it to find my QT libs.
Ok, i'm look at those directories and see if they're there. How do I change the QTDIR part? In the Makefile, or some CLI option/variable?
You just need to set the environment variable QTDIR to the root of Qt installation.
Check help in configure for more options.
This is my first attempt at compiling, what does this mean? It comes up after ./configure. I'm using SuSE 9.
You're probably missing the so-called "header files" for the X Window system. Those files are often in a separate package with a suffix "-devel" because you only need them if you want to compile stuff, not when you're just using it.
I don't have a SuSE system here to check but I'd expect the package you need to be called xfree-devel, xfree86-devel, or something like that.
The YaST2 package installer has package search functionality built-in.
Keywords you might search for include "X", "xfree, "xfree86", "xlib", "header", "development"
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.3) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
I use the command with the path to the qt dir specified. I checked the config log and there is a line kde_qtver='3'. What I'm thinking is I need to update the qt. Any suggestions?


We created a series of designs & layout elements for the IAEA to revitalize their program look and integrating the Atomic in their name more into their overall visual identity system.
The designs are based upon High Energy Plasma, Atomic nuclei, fission/fusion processes, generative flow and the graphic interpretation of them.
As with many other of our projects some of the artworks was created using Processing and nodebox two programming environments ideally suited for screen based computations.

Unifor picks Ford Motor Company as potential strike target

DETROIT (AP) — The union that represents Canadian auto workers has picked Ford as a potential strike target in contract talks this year.
The Unifor union's contracts with all three Detroit automakers expires at 11:59 p.m. on Sept. 21.
Unifor President Jerry Dias says at a news conference Tuesday that the union wants product commitments for Ford's assembly plant in Oakville, Ontario, near Toronto. Production of the Ford Edge and Lincoln Nautilus SUVs ends at the plant in 2023. Dias says Ford hasn't made any future product commitments.
He says the union is looking for job security and commitments including electric vehicles. The basics of a three-year deal with Ford would then apply to the other two companies, Fiat Chrysler and General Motors.
Dias says Canada has no commitments to build electric vehicles and has dropped from the fourth-largest vehicle maker in 1999 to No. 12 currently.
In addition to product commitments, the union also will focus on wages and benefits, he said.
Ford said in a statement it looks forward to reaching a deal that keeps it competitive and maintains Canadian jobs. "We'll be asking our employees to work with us to help shape this new reality," the statement said.
Unifor went on a month-long strike in 2017 at a GM plant that makes the Chevrolet Equinox small SUV. The union wanted to be named the lead producer of the SUV, which also is made in Mexico. While Unifor didn't get that, the union said it won provisions giving added benefits to workers who are near retirement if the plant closes, production moves or a shift is ended.
The union also fought with GM last year over plans to stop auto production at a factory in Oshawa, Ontario.
