Looking to refinance your commercial mortgage?
G-Force Finance Solutions offers multiple commercial loan refinance options to ensure you get the financing that best meets your individual borrowing needs and investment objectives.
Consolidating your business debts offers attractive benefits in terms of reduced interest rates and long term interest savings, the ability to make one regular repayment (rather than several) and the opportunity to get ahead and pay your debts off sooner than you had planned.
Many lenders offer you the flexibility to consolidate your debts by splitting them with your loan account, so that you can manage them separately, whilst still reaping the benefits of the lower interest rate.
Before you get started, consider whether refinancing is right for you and what you're looking for in a new loan. Do you want a lower interest rate, better features or more flexibility?
Through our extensive network of lenders we offer you access to commercial loans that can match your specific requirements even in difficult or complex times. We understand that every commercial loan is different and can also be affected by a wide range of variables, which may require extensive structuring to secure the appropriate solution.
Now is the time for us to compare home loans to find one that suits your business model and budget. It's important to consider more than just the interest rate when you're refinancing your home loan. Considerable savings can be made by switching to a more appropriate commercial loan.
Through lower interest rates and low (or no) monthly fees or additional charges on your loans can be significant. When big savings are added to your repayments, they can cut years off your loan and save you thousands.
Consolidating your business loans, credit cards, and car loans with your commercial property loan could save you thousands in interest payments, fees and charges.
We will assist you to apply! In the application process, we'll assess lending criteria such as business income, your mortgage repayment history, other loans and financial commitments.
We may complete a property valuation to work out how much your current property is worth. Our lenders provide exceptional support throughout the application process with speed and ease.
Once you've signed the loan contract, settlement occurs and your new loan is drawn down. This involves paying off your current loan using the funds from your new loan. You can now focus on making mortgage repayments on your new loan. The first repayment on your new loan is usually due within a month of settlement, depending on the conditions of your loan contract.

Laid-off Twitter employees finally receive severance pay – and they're not happy
Severance package prevents ex-employees from suing the social media giant
BY Jim Wilson 11 Jan 2023
Twitter has sent separation agreements to laid-off workers months after the layoffs happened – and it came with some big surprises.
Approximately 3,700 employees were to be laid off, according to a Bloomberg report in November 2022.
Now, these workers were offered one month of severance pay, reported the Los Angeles Times, citing documents that workers received on Saturday. That's below the 60 days of severance pay that could be given to the same workers, as noted in the Bloomberg report.
Also, the separation agreement does not include year-end bonuses, cash contribution for healthcare continuation, additional severance based on tenure, or the cash value of restricted stock units that are typically vested every quarter, according to the LA Times report, citing the words of one former engineering manager.
These were all part of Twitter's general severance package prior to Musk's acquisition of the company.
"Now that the severance agreements have been sent to employees, Elon Musk has proven us correct: Twitter is in fact trying to shortchange employees and break promises," said lawyer Shannon Liss-Riordan, who is representing former Twitter employees, reported Business Insider.
She added that Twitter employees had been "promised much more" in severance.
The layoffs happened just days after Musk denied reports that he is going to fire Twitter employees before Nov. 1, when part of their year-end compensation was set to kick in.
Right to sue
But that's not the end of it. The severance offer also states that employees must waive their right to ever sue the company, assist anyone in a legal case against the company unless required by law, or speak negatively about Twitter, its management or Elon Musk, according to the LA Times report.
And although they can still testify in cases under subpoena or court order, this clause can make it difficult to gather witnesses, noted Liss-Riordan – who's representing plaintiffs in three pending class-action lawsuits against the company – in the report.
Signees also waive their right to any payout in these class actions.
But the severance agreement has been met with more legal actions.
Liss-Riordan said she had filed 100 more demands for arbitration on Monday morning, reported Insider. In total, Liss-Riordan says she has filed around 300 demands for arbitration relating to Twitter layoffs.
"Musk's decision to fleece Twitter workers isn't just shameful – it's also going to be very costly," Liss-Riordan said. "These claims will be extraordinarily expensive and time-consuming for Twitter to defend."
In April, Twitter announced that it was selling to the Tesla and SpaceX CEO for roughly $44 billion. The company's workforce has dropped by about 75% since the completion of the purchase in October.
"I think he can afford to make sure the employees he took on get what they were promised," Liss-Riordan said.

Every month we have an army of hormones that make a lot of changes in our body. We get cramps, cravings and mood swings. They even make us feel super horny some days of the month🔥. The real question is, why does this happen?
The menstrual cycle involves a lot of hormones. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA. All of them are directly connected with how horny we feel during the month.
How does your libido change during the month?
Day 1 to 11: The day that your period starts, is the same day that your sexual hormones start working. These hormones also help with the PMS symptoms. During these days the hormones are focused on building the lining of the uterus.
Day 12 to 16: Horny is the only word in your vocabulary. Your body wants a baby and it's willing to do anything for it. This is because you're ovulating and your body is ready to get pregnant.
Day 17 to 28: Around day 17, your libido disappears. This is because the estrogen starts to decrease.
Around day 23, PMS makes an appearance and around day 28, your period arrives again.
Not entirely horny: You won't get extremely horny, but that doesn't mean you won't be horny, it's just different.
Your hormones don't go crazy: Don't worry, everything works without ups and downs.
Your body can change a little: Depending what's in your pills, your skin, your mood, and your weight can change.
Remember to ask your doctor what's the best birth control for you.

PHILADELPHIA -- NBA AllStar Allen Iverson was cleared of all but a misdemeanor Monday at a hearing into charges he stormed into his cousin's apartment with a gun and threatened two men while looking for his wife.
Two counts of making terroristic threats were left standing after the six-hour preliminary hearing to determine whether prosecutors had enough evidence to try Iverson.
"It sounds like you had a relative looking for a relative at the house of a relative," Municipal Court Judge James DeLeon said.
The ruling followed testimony from Iverson's cousin Shaun Bowman and the two accusers, Charles Jones and his friend Hakim Carey, who disagreed on several key points, including whether the Philadelphia 76ers' guard was carrying a gun.
The 27-year-old Iverson, the NBA MVP in the 2000-01 season and a three-time league scoring champion, was accused of throwing his wife, Tawanna, out of their home, then barging into Bowman's apartment July 3.
Iverson was arrested on 14 felony and misdemeanor charges, including assault, terroristic threats and weapons offenses. Iverson's uncle, Gregory Iverson, also was charged, but he, too, now faces only the two misdemeanor counts.
The original charges against Iverson carried a maximum sentence of more than 50 years. Prosecutors said they hadn't decided whether to refile the charges.
Iverson was the subject of intense media scrutiny after the accusations surfaced. Hordes of reporters and photographers camped outside his suburban mansion in the days before he surrendered July 16 to face the charges.
The 76ers applauded the judge's decision.
"We look forward to the resolution of the remaining issue in this matter," the team said in a statement, "so that both Allen and the 76ers can return their full focus where it properly belongs: on the basketball court."
Jones, Bowman's 21-year-old roommate, told police he was fast asleep July 3 when he awoke to find Iverson standing over him, cursing and threatening him. He said Iverson lifted his shirt to show him a black handgun tucked in his waistband and declared, "I'm about to do something."
Carey initially told police he also saw a gun. Under cross-examination, however, Carey testified that Jones pressured him to tell police Iverson had a weapon. Carey testified he had merely seen a black object in Iverson's waistband and did not "jump to conclusions" about what it was.
Carey, 18, said he didn't want to go to police, but Jones talked him into it. The teenager said he feared he'd be harmed -- even shot -- if he became known in Philadelphia as Iverson's accuser.
Cavs to Deal Miller
CLEVELAND -- Andre Miller, the NBA's assist leader last season, and forward Bryant Stith have been traded by the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Los Angeles Clippers for forwards Darius Miles and Harold Jamison, The Associated Press has learned.

A group of men in the vanguard of a new model of housing for chronically homeless people with mental illnesses sat around a small conference table eating pizza recently in Leavenworth.
It was the monthly social gathering for residents of the Marion Apartments, a single-story, 10-unit complex just off Main Street.
The building is unremarkable, like many other apartment complexes. That's by design, according to Susan Crain Lewis, president and CEO of Mental Health America of the Heartland, a nonprofit that supports people with mental health problems in Kansas and Missouri.
What makes Marion Apartments remarkable is that residents can stay there as long as they want.
It's a model called permanent supportive housing that flips the more traditional forms of housing assistance in the mental health realm by assuming that successful treatment follows housing stability, not the other way around.
Photo by Andy Marso William Scaife has lived at Marion Apartments in Leavenworth since 2005. Before that he had been homeless "off and on" since he left the U.S. Marine Corps in 1982.
In the post-institutionalization era of mental health treatment in America, the usual model of support for people with mental illness is temporary hospitalization and treatment following a psychotic episode, then a temporary stay in "transitional housing" before patients are expected to obtain and secure housing on their own in the private market.
But Lewis and others think that creates dangerous instability for some people with severe and persistent mental illness. That instability, they say, creates a cycle of lapses in treatment, more psychotic episodes, more homelessness and more trips to county jails and state hospitals that start the process all over again.
The antidote, they say, is an open-ended place to stay that allows people with a mental illness to gain comfort with their surroundings and fall into a routine that makes them better able to manage their conditions.
That "Housing First" model is gaining favor with the federal government. Los Angeles County made national news last year when it opened a $40 million, 102-unit complex to provide permanent supportive housing to the city's Skid Row residents.
Initial research suggests there's merit to the movement, and Lewis and her colleagues say they've seen the results firsthand.
Before coming to Marion, the men around the table were sleeping under bridges or on friends' couches or squatting in doorways, in and out of mental hospitals or jail cells. Now they feel at home. Several of the 10 residents — nine men and one woman — have been at Marion since it opened in 2005. Hospitalizations are exceedingly rare, in part because of the on-site therapy they receive from peer support counselors, but also because of the support they give each other.
Some are working now, and last year all of the residents either maintained or increased their income level. Lewis' organization is allowed to charge rent of up to 30 percent of a resident's income, but those who can't pay don't have to.
Marion Apartments, and two other permanent supportive housing complexes the organization operates on both sides of the state line in Kansas City, are funded through a mix of federal grants and donations from local individuals, corporations and charitable groups.
Lewis believes strongly in permanent supportive housing. With Kansas in particular facing a reduction in beds for acute care of people with mental illness, her organization would like to help break the cycle of hospitalization.
Lewis said her organization has not received any increase in funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in years.
The state government, more focused on short-term budget fixes now than long-term investments, is unlikely to contribute.
Kansas also is in the midst of a conservative revolution that has the Legislature frequently discussing the proper role of government.
Lewis bristles when asked if it's the government's role to provide people with mental illness with an apartment for the rest of their lives.
"Is it the government's role to provide them with a jail cell off and on for the rest of their life instead?" she asks.
Ray Roberts, secretary of the Kansas Department of Corrections, has repeatedly told legislators that people with mental illnesses, substance abuse addiction or a combination of the two make up a large share of the state's prison population.
Statistics on people with mental illness being held in county jails are harder to pin down, but Lewis said it's common, especially among the chronically homeless.
Local law enforcement officers pick them up for infractions like public urination, she said, because they don't have their own bathrooms and they've been shut out of public restrooms because of how they look or smell.
She said police officers she's talked with have said they'd also rather focus on violent crime.
Those police calls related to mental health issues cost taxpayer money, as does locking up people with mental health problems. Lewis said it costs about $43.50 per day to house someone at a facility like the Marion Apartments, while a day in a county jail or state prison costs almost $70.
A day in a state hospital for people with mental illness can cost about $500.
Those days come far too frequently in Kansas, Lewis said. She pointed to a data analysis that showed the 30-day and 180-day readmission rates for adults in Kansas state hospitals in 2013 were among the highest in the nation.
That leads to better treatment compliance, fewer hospitalizations and ultimately cost savings.
Leach, who also is one of the peer support counselors at Marion, dished out slices of pizza from cardboard boxes in the kitchen of the room where the residents had their social gathering.
With spring in the air, he asked them what they wanted to plant in their communal garden this year.
"Last year the okra turned out really well," another said.
In some ways Marion is much like any other housing complex.
Residents come and go as they please. Some have cars. They are allowed to have visitors. They can choose to smoke or drink in their room if they want. Two residents fell in love and got married a few years ago, Lewis said.
But it is clearly a more tight-knit group than average apartment-dwellers.
In addition to the monthly social events, they meet for group therapy sessions, make crafts and have show-and-tell sessions when they display their movie collections or models.
"That adds stability where some folks haven't had stability for a long time," he said of the complex.
Leach, who sports an unusual combination of a buttoned polo shirt and dark slacks with tattoos and a bushy beard, knows from experience. He's in recovery himself, he said, after spending most of seven years drifting from place to place, losing count of how many spots he'd slept in.
"Until I had stable housing, I was never able to get a grip on what recovery was all about and get anywhere in life," Leach said.
William Scaife, 58, is one of the residents who has been at Marion since 2005.
He said before that he had been homeless "off and on" since he left the U.S. Marine Corps in 1982.
"There's two of us here, ex-Marines, jarheads," Scaife said.
Including all branches, six military veterans currently occupy Marion's 10 units.
Scaife said he joined the Marines after a difficult childhood in "the projects." His father left the home when he was 5 years old and he was abused by a babysitter and bullied at school until he became involved with sports in high school.
He watched his father sell pot and, not wanting to end up in that lifestyle, turned to the military as a way out, enlisting in 1979.
That's where signs of mental illness first started to crop up, he said, and the drinking he did on the base only made them worse.
"That's when I realized I can't handle alcohol," Scaife said.
Scaife served for three years in the radio operator group and the infantry, including tours in Okinawa and the Philippines.
When he got out, he started hearing voices in his head and spent time at Osawatomie State Hospital in 1983 and 1984. That was the beginning of a long stretch of eking out survival despite homelessness and low-wage jobs that did not end until he came to Marion in 2005.
Scaife's apartment is small, but it includes a stationary bike and a heavy barbell that he says he still uses on good days, when his back problems, acid reflux and diabetes aren't bothering him.
Having his own permanent space is good, but he says sharing it with others in the complex is a major part of what has made Marion a good fit for him.
"It gives you a kind of freedom to have your own leisure time, where you can absorb the energy around you," Scaife said.
Lewis hugs Scaife before leaving his room and telling him how proud she is of him.
His is only one of many success stories, she said, upon her return to the community kitchen where James Reed, another 10-year Marion resident, has fixed her a pot of coffee.
Photo by Andy Marso Christopher Leach, James Reed and Susan Crain Lewis stand near a tree planted in memory of a woman who was diagnosed with terminal cancer after moving into the Marion Apartments.
One of Marion's former female residents, Lewis said, came to the complex after living under a bridge.
After getting settled, the woman went back to school and earned a bachelor's degree. She now works full-time in children's services, Lewis said.
Another female resident was diagnosed with terminal cancer after moving into the Marion Apartments.
Her doctors asked if she wanted to go into hospice care, but Lewis said the woman told them no, she wanted to go "home" — to Marion.
When she returned she told the other residents that in lieu of a memorial after death, she wanted to have a party before she died. So everyone gathered for a celebration catered by her favorite restaurant. Then they planted a tree in front of the apartment complex in her honor.
"That was a life party — that's what we called it," Reed said as he examined the tree.
The woman also told her fellow residents that one of her last wishes was to see the ocean before she died. One of them who owned a car drove her to Texas, where she captured some seawater in a plastic bottle and gave it to Lewis as a thank-you gift.
Years later, Lewis still gets emotional when she sees the bottle.
"This place chokes me up," she said.

She was the first woman to receive the Urban Leadership Award and is an eight-time winner of REBNY's Deal of the Year Award for ingenious brokerage.
Trish Barrigan
Trish Barrigan is co-founder and managing partner of Benson Elliot. Barrigan launched the company in 2004 alongside Marc Mogull. Independent and small and medium-sized private equity firms are becoming a rare breed in European real estate. It's a testament to Barrigan and Mogull that their company continues to survive and thrive. Barrigan stands out in the male-dominated private equity. One of her most significant recent deals was the sale of a 700-unit residential and mixed-use development in Berlin. She secured planning consent in just 18 months and put in place a construction contract. Barrigan continues to be a key player for Benson Elliot and in the world of real estate.
The real estate industry has some of the most talented, influential and dynamic women in the world. However, there are still not enough women in top jobs in real estate. Only 14% of speakers at European real estate events are female. A new organisation is trying to address this issue. But the above exemplars of influential women show what success can look like. With an increasing number of women taking centre stage in the sector, it will encourage more women to pursue a career in real estate.

There's one key difference that could make PRF a more effective treatment it's because it is completely natural and free of any additives. PRF releases the growth factors over time, which means it could have longer-term benefits. The growth factors are what stimulate the stem cells that improve collagen and elastin in the area that has been injected.
PRF is a fantastic addition to any medical spa since not only can be used in combination with fillers, but also with micro needling, laser resurfacing since it accelerates wound healing significantly.
How many PRF treatments are recommended?
What areas is PRF done?
PRF can be done on the scalp, face, neck, hands and any part of the body.
-	How is different PRF from PRP?
PRF is richer because contains growth factors, platelets, white blood cells, stem cells and fibrin clot; Also, PRF contains NO additives and NO anti coagulants and can act like a natural filler.

The government and the army ignored a parliamentary proposal to hold six-party talks on constitutional reform, indicating that the reform issue could hit political deadlock.
By Kyaw Phyo Tha 3 December 2014
RANGOON — The lack of a response by President Thein Sein and Burma Army chief Min Aung Hlaing following a recent Parliament-endorsed proposal to hold six-party talks with key political players in Burma indicates that the issue of constitutional reform could hit political deadlock, according to political analysts and opposition lawmakers.
They said it signals that the Thein Sein administration and the powerful Burma Army appear unified in their opposition to reforming the controversial and undemocratic charter, a position they warn that could ultimately lead to public unrest.
"It's questionable whether they really want to make amendments to the Constitution," said Min Thu, a lawmaker with the National League for Democracy (NLD). "If they cared about the people, these kinds of talks would happen."
Ko Ni, a leading member of Burma Lawyers' Network, said Parliament appeared to be at odds with the government and the army on the issue of constitutional reform.
"Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and Parliament foresee the deadlock so they proposed the [six-party] talks to overcome it. But the president and the commander-in-chief want to stick to what the Constitution says," he said. "It seems that they want to govern the country with 2008 Constitution forever, if possible."
He said, "The army should be under the government control and we want an army that has nothing to do with politics," adding that a lack constitutional reform "might lead to a general strike, and we don't want to see that."
On Nov. 25, Myint Tun of the ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) put forth a proposal urging the president, the army chief, the speakers of the Upper and Lower Houses, Suu Kyi and a representative of the ethnic parties to convene soonest to discuss charter reform.
The proposal was passed in a joint session of both Houses of Parliament, and the bloc of military lawmakers did not object.
In the days that followed, however, it became clear that the government and military were reluctant to follow through with the proposal. Minister of Information Ye Htut told Radio Free Asia that a six-party meeting would be "impractical." The army chief reportedly told members of the Karen National Union during a meeting that he would not accept six-party talks, as he would like to include more stakeholders.
Just days before President Obama's visit on Nov. 13, a meeting was called with 14 stakeholders, including Suu Kyi, Thein Sein, the army chief and parliament speakers, but it was a purely symbolic meeting without substantive discussions.
Suu Kyi has been calling for charter reform for several years now. The Constitution is widely viewed as undemocratic and reviled by most of public as a mechanism for the army to retain power after decades of direct rule.
It contains clauses that grant the army significant political powers, such as control over a quarter of Parliament, an arrangement that give the military effective veto power over charter reform. Article 59(f) blocks anyone with foreign children or spouse from the presidency, a clause that would prevent Suu Kyi assuming the position following a NLD victory in next year's general elections.
The USDP and its chairman and Parliament Speaker Shwe Mann, who has announced he plans to run for the presidency in 2015, have appeared willing to discuss some constitutional reforms.
Myint Tun, the USDP lawmaker who put forth the proposal, said, now is the time for all key players to come together and deal with the charter reform. "They seemed surprised that the Parliament approved my proposal," he said of the president and the army chief's reaction.
"The Parliament passed it, I think, as it's timely," Aung Cho Oo, a USDP lawmaker, said of the six-party talks proposal. He added that many lawmakers were discussing the issue of reform among themselves.
It is unclear what charter reforms the USDP has in mind. In October, USDP and military lawmakers voted down a NLD proposal suggesting that Article 436 be amended. The article states that changes to key parts of charter can only take place when more than 75 percent of Parliament votes in favor, a clause that gives the military bloc effective veto power over reforms.
Asked what charter reforms the USDP wants to see, Aung Cho Oo said, "Everyone in Parliament wants to change the Constitution, [but] which clauses they want to change differs."
Regardless of the USDP's intentions, the current situation raises questions about the relations between the NLD, the USDP, the speakers of the Houses of Parliament and the Thein Sein government and the army. The latter two institutions seem intent on clinging to their entrenched powers and reluctant to move reform discussions forward.
Yan Myo Thein, an independent political commentator, warned that the government and army are steering the country towards a political impasse and growing public anger over the lack of charter reforms.
"If they don't come up with a proposal, both international and local community would regard the government and army as having no interest at all in national reconciliation, constitutional amendments and the peace process," he said.
"If they keep rejecting, it would be bad for the country. Changes in the country would stall and probably lead to a political deadlock—and tensions between the army and the people will mount," Yan Myo Thein said.

As I said a while back, I love Metroidvanias, and I'm exceedingly happy about the sudden proliferation of them on the indie scene. We've had some absolute crackers over the past few years, like Dandara, Axiom Verge and Forma.8 – but the motherlode is arriving in August.
Chasm has just launched on PS4, Vita and PC, a Metroidvania some six years in the making, with utterly beautiful pixel-art graphics. And Dead Cells officially launches on 7 August – it was one of my top picks at EGX Rezzed back in April, and it's been in Early Access for some time, but finally it's getting an official release on consoles and PC. I've got hold of the PS4 version and it's fantastic so far – expect a review very soon.
Then there's Death's Gambit on 14 August, a lovely looking Metroidvania with classic fantasy-style graphics that's coming to PS4 and PC. And finally we have Guacamelee 2, a sequel from DrinkBox, the studio behind the wonderful Severed and, of course, the first Guacamelee. That's also coming to PC and PS4. All of these games are looking very special indeed.
We probably won't have time to cover them all on AMAP, but we'll certainly have a review of Dead Cells, along with a look at some other Metroidvanias, like Iconoclasts from earlier this year. Happy Metroidvania month, everybody!
I share your excitement in seeing Metroidvanias take over the indie scene.
It's also great to see so many interesting experiments with the genre, like Yoku's Island Express. It's a good time to be a Metroidvania fan!
Yoku is another one that caught my eye. It looks really cool.

AJ100 analysis: Return to the good old days?
9 June, 2016 By Bruce Tether, Richard Waite
It has taken almost a decade, but the number of architects employed by the nation's largest practices is now within touching distance of the record highs before the recession
More from: AJ100 analysis: Return to the good old days?
2016.09.07 AJ100 Graphs Architects Employed 1995 2016
The AJ100 league table, the annual bellwether of the industry's fortunes, reveals that architect staffing levels reached near pre-recession levels in 2015.
The 106 practices in this year's league table collectively employed 6,811 ARB-registered architects in the UK, 793 more than the previous year.
Comparing like with like, the practices which also featured in the AJ100 last year together employed 793 more architects in the UK at the start of 2016 than they did at the start of 2015 – a 14 per cent increase.
2016.09.07 AJ100 Graphs Total ARB
The data was collected earlier this year before fears over the EU referendum and market uncertainty took hold, leading some practices to make redundancies. But there is no doubt about which practice remains the UK's largest. Foster + Partners tops the rankings for the fifth year in a row, adding 95 architects to its UK personnel. Norman Foster's company now boasts 407 qualified architects within its 1,221-strong permanent UK workforce.
The practice billed a huge £190 million in architectural fees – up £5 million from the previous year and more than four times the amount racked up by the architects in second place, BDP (£43 million). And in our survey Norman Foster was again named by AJ100 practices as the architect who most inspires their work, topping a list of more than 30 people – all male.
2016.09.07 AJ100 Graphs Chart toppers
The employees, however, honoured the late Zaha Hadid with this year's Contribution to the Profession award, decided by vote. Her practice has also climbed four places into third spot after doubling the number of UK architects on its payroll from 118 to 236.
Overall, 77 practices added to their tally of registered architects, while only 16 practices reported employing fewer architects in the UK than at the start of 2015. Collectively, the AJ100 practices employ nearly 36,000 people in this country, including freelancers and those on short-term contracts. But three huge multidisciplinary firms – Atkins, Capita ESA and Jacobs – account for more than half of this number.
Steve McGuckin, global managing director at Turner & Townsend and a former architect with Grimshaw, says: 'The growth in the size of practices in the AJ100 is not surprising.
'The increase in scale of the major projects, the return of investment in infrastructure and the number of masterplans that are at or near to the green light means, inevitably, that the top practices have scaled up in response to the value and number of projects on the go.'
2016.09.07 AJ100 Graphs Aggregate income
Income to UK offices for jobs in the UK and overseas was £1.255 billion in 2015. The most successful 20 practices in terms of UK fee income account for half of this, with Foster + Partners alone making up nearly 14 per cent of the total.
Ninety-nine of the practices that appeared in last year's AJ120 reported their fees for both this and last year, and among these the aggregate fee income was up £131.4 million, a 12 per cent rise on last year's total. This is less than last year's increase of nearly 21 per cent but is still impressive growth, particularly in a sluggish economy.
The findings echo those of the RIBA's Future Trends Survey. Adrian Dobson, the institute's executive director of members, says: 'Workload growth has been strong throughout the past year and this is the 12th consecutive quarter in which we have recorded workloads rising, as the value of work in progress begins to climb back towards pre-recession levels.'
He adds that it was also the ninth consecutive quarter in which the practices surveyed by the RIBA recorded an increase in staffing levels.
Dave Madden, director and owner of recruitment consultant Mustard, also believes the AJ's figures reflect the profession's re-emergence from the economic doldrums. 'The AJ100 data definitely matches how we feel in the marketplace right now,' he says. 'We have a few clients currently in that enviable position of turning work away. [While] there is a little worry that, because the market is so residential-driven, it can't last, the sensible companies seem to be hiring in skills in new markets.' He adds: 'Because of the sustained growth in the market it has also meant that hiring has stayed as a priority but firms are still looking to stay lean and are demanding very specific criteria.'
2016.09.07 AJ100 Graphs Short term contracted employees
A growing phenomenon is the use of short-term contractors and freelancers – 78 practices reported employing at least one person on these terms, adding up to 3,338 positions. In one firm, short-termers and freelancers constitute a quarter of the workforce, although 6 per cent is more typical.
Ken Shuttleworth of Make, ranked 24th this year, sounds a word of warning about the data. He says: '[The figures] show the market's continuing confidence last year when leaving Europe wasn't on the agenda, but don't really reflect the current feelings that everything is in "pause" mode, awaiting the outcome of the referendum. The increase in temporary contracts shows this nervousness. It will be interesting to see next year's figures if the UK exits the EU.'
And where can one expect the best architects of the future to come from? If the respondents to the AJ100 survey are to be believed, they are likely to have trained at the Bartlett, Bath or the Welsh School of Architecture in Cardiff – first, second and third respectively in survey respondents' ranking of architecture schools. The Bartlett, which celebrates its 175th anniversary this year, has been the number one school of choice for the past 13 years.

The Games Of Christmas: December 1st
Hivemind
1st December 2009 / 2:34PM
Twenty-four games sit behind the windows of our festive pagan Endless Bear calendar, each one a thing that made the year of 2009 brighter and more interesting. But which game comes first? And what will we have to say about it? Follow the excitedly trembling hand of the one true leader of the Autobots to discover…
Zeno Clash!
Jim: I sometimes worry that games aren't weird enough. Occasionally you get little bubbles of weird, like Sacrifice or Psychonauts, popping up and restoring the balance, and they're often enough to shift us into the weird for months at time. Zeno Clash did just that: it was visually peculiar, had a deeply strange story running through it, and introduced some of the strangest characters I can remember. I was glad of it precisely because it tried to be unusual. Occasionally such efforts feel contrived or immature, but Zeno Clash delivered it with an air of mystery, and a Half-Life-like lack of exposition that made it intriguing.
It was far more fortunate, I suppose, that the hand-to-hand combat actually worked. I've seen a few people comment that they felt it was awkward or unwieldy, but I personally found it to be precisely right. It was brutal, fights were never too long, and it genuinely felt up-close and personal. Melee is difficult to pull off in an FPS, and I felt this sort of concession to the dynamics of boxing made perfect sense.
Perhaps what's most pleasing, however, is to see a new team creating a world and making a success of it. I'm double keen to see what ACE Team get up to next. Apparently it's a sequel of sorts, and more open worldy, which should please those – like me – who regularly sound the anti-linearity trumpet.
John: Like Jim says, the biggest surprise here was that the fisticuffs worked. Melee is so often the curse of games, and for an indie developer with their first major game to be putting all the emphasis upon it seemed like it would spell certain doom.
When we first gained access to some early preview code I was, oddly enough, no less concerned. It still felt wrong at that stage, too difficult, too frustrating. I'm not sure how much was that I was no good at it, and how much was the improvements they made in the following months, but what a man-sized phew it was when it finally came out.
In fact, so well implemented was the biff-punching that it wasn't what stood out most about the game. Which is exactly as it should be – it felt naturally part of the world. What of course stood out was the remarkable creature and world design. There's not a moment that isn't beautiful to look at. There wasn't a time when playing it I didn't hammer at the screenshot button. At least one of these sat on my desktop for months. It's such a smart game – that's what impresses me the most. It's intelligently put together, intelligently designed, and the combination of limited ranged weapons and powerful melee attacks reversed the norm while not breaking the logic of a first-person perspective. The story may have made no sense to me at all, but the experience was what mattered.
Kieron: Instead of echoing John and Jim – who are entirely right, and I agree with every word, except the subtextual bit where Walker looks at you with hurt eyes and says I am not a bad healer – I'm going to pick up on another something about Zeno Clash which impressed me, and I think a lot of developers (especially smaller developers) would do well to follow.
For a game that's so often described as "mad", Zeno Clash is eminently sensible. As they described in their Gamasutra Postmortem, Zeno Clash was their second take at a game. The first, based on similar material, fell apart. It was the sort of sprawling open-world joy which Jim spends much time lusting after it. Problem being: too ambitious. They couldn't pull it off.
They sat down, had a little think, focused and pulled off Zeno Clash. It's a game born of almost perfect compromise between their vision and their resources. People who say they want it to be longer are actually saying "we'd like it a little shitter, please". The one game which followed Portal in its careful focusing on its strengths, it narrowed itself down to a level where – on its own stage – it could compete with close to anyone else in the world. And, of course, it helps that what it chose to show on its stage was an act which you couldn't find anywhere else.
That's the secret of Zeno Clash. Just because you're being mad, you don't have to be stupid. I can't wait to see what ACE team do next.
Alec: I really like the weirdo guns too. No-one ever talks about the guns. Poor guns. Come to me, I will hold you and love you.

I always have a good time at Labrador Friends of the South Adoption events. This Saturday at the Labrador Adoption started out sunny and then we got a little cloudy, but still made for a nice day. Although no Labradors got adopted this weekend, we did get a lot of very interested newcomers to come check us out. Plus, any day you can spend some time helping a Rescue Lab and taking some awesome pictures, is a Good Day indeed.
Do you have a Rescue of Choice??
Oh dear – this would not play – as soon as it started it stopped and said page not found.
Lovely! It worked for me… Love it!!!
What an awesome time lapsed video of the day!
Maybe experiencing traffic overload. Will take a look.
Our LFS rescue is sitting at my feet right now – Jake has been a vital part of our family for six yearsnow.
Absolutely love the video. Come join us and live it!!
No one adopted those sweet babies ? That's so sad.
Dammit. I just lost my fox red girl last month to CHF, and see several fox reds there. I hate that I am in Kansas City. Do you know of any Lab rescues in my area?
I am proud to say I have fostered, rescued, placed some, held some as they passed away after knowing love only a few short days- 80 -100 dogs ( mostly labs) over the last 4 years!
That's so sad they did not get adopted, I would take them if I was closer? Is there a Lab Rescue in WASHINGTON State? I would love to volunteer.
Hard to believe none of your beautiful dogs got adopted, they are the most selfless breed!!! I have 2 labs (got them as puppies from breeders) Belle now 7.5 and Buster now 10.5. My next Labs will be rescues!! Just love them!!
Unfortunately, Lab Friends of the South does not transport any labs out of state. There are plenty of potential adopters up here the North who would love to have any of these beauties.
I would take each and every one of them. So disappointing that none got their forever homes, but thank you to all the selfless foster parents who care for these babies.
How the hell could anyone ever throw one of these dogs away?
We rescued our girl from Rescue me Labs in Kentucky, from there they transport to New Hampshire.
I totally agree with you, but I still feel sad for all of the labs who didn't get adopted at the event on Saturday.
I love labs and am looking to adopt one. My Snickers passed last fall. Any availabe in western PA?
awww . . . i'm looking to adopt but i'm probably gonna wait until late summer/early fall. need to take my time and make sure i find the right match. SO excited, tho!
I have 4 Labradors, 3 are rescues. I drove over 700 miles for Moose, 700 miles for Daisy, and I found Joy under my truck in 2007 starved, burned with cigarettes and almost frozen.
Abby was the pick of the litter in 2010. It is a wonderful feeling to save a Labradors life. I wish more people would adopt a rescue!

Whitney Sudler-Smith and Patricia Altschul Share an Update on Michael Kelcourse
The Southern Charm family offered an update on the man affectionately known as Michael the Butler.
By Jocelyn Vena
Whitney Sudler-Smith recently visited Michael Kelcourse after he suffered from an acute spinal cord infarction, which is also known as a spinal cord stroke, earlier this year. Michael, who has been a fan favorite on Southern Charm for years, has been recovering at the Shepherd Spinal Center in Atlanta where Whitney visited him, as he and his mom, Patricia Altschul, shared on Instagram this week.
"Great visit with [Michael the Butler], a man of indomitable spirit!" Whitney shared alongside a photo of himself with Michael, Patricia's longtime right-hand man, who fans affectionately know as Michael the Butler.
Patricia shared the same photo on Instagram, adding in her caption, "[Whitney] had a great visit with [Michael the Butler] in Atlanta today. He's got 'an indomitable spirit' and is working hard with his physical therapy. You can still send messages to Michael Kelcourse at @caringbridgeofficial."
A post shared by Whitney Sudler-Smith (@wsudlersmith)
In late February, Whitney confirmed the news of Michael's health in a statement to The Daily Dish. "I am sorry to inform you that Michael Kelcourse, affectionately known as 'Michael The Butler', recently suffered an acute spinal cord infarction which is often called a 'spinal cord stroke.' Although this tragedy has caused significant nerve damage and impairment, with the help of the outstanding physicians at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, we are hopeful Michael will soon recover," Whitney confirmed at the time. "Thank you for respecting Michael's privacy during this challenging time."
Patricia has also been caring for Michael's cat in the months since. She recently shared the sweetest photo of the feline with the caption, "Good night and God bless.... Michaels's kitty asleep on my bed."
She previously opened up about taking care of Michael's cat earlier this year. "I've been taking care of Michael's kitty until he is able to do so. She has settled right in being in the main house and pays no attention to the dogs," Patricia shared on Instagram. She also tweeted of Michael in late March before she deactivated her account, "Thank you for asking...of course I miss him as do the dogs and his cat."

Though I was always having the water phobia, but still I managed to go on boating with my parents. For some, the boating and sailing is one of the most exciting activities. Here in west we guys are so much obsessed with some artistic things, like we love caricatures, we love paintings, we love sketching, in a nutshell we adore all shapes and kinds of art. I just thought to introduce a new wooden caricature that is a pallet boat playhouse for kids. Kids really love such spots and they love to play there. This pallet boat would be a great bounty for kids to keep them inside home and prevent them from useless outdoor roaming.
Such wooden caricatures and huge objects always attract a lot to the younger kids. They just love to stay home when they are provided with such a present. We have always focused on the entire family and people from all age groups. Even the kids have remained our prime object throughout this recycling thing. We introduced many wooden pallet kids houses, but this pallet wood boat playhouse would be entirely a different experience for your kids. I hope they would love to have a ride on this static yet worth sitting wood boat.
Before you get started, bear one thing in mind. For making this pallet boat for kids you need a huge supply of pallet wood. This is not something that could be made with a small bunch of pallets. This is something real big, gigantic. And as far as its shape and design is concerned, this looks like a ditto copy of an actual wooden boat. It has got an anchor on this tipping edge, it has got seating capacity, it has got edgy front, just be familiar with the basic inspiration and then get to some real work.

Q: PHP MySQL find best matches HI and sorry for my english in beginning.
So I have tables like this
--
-- Table structure for table `peoples`
--

ADD CONSTRAINT `weapons_skills-id_skill` FOREIGN KEY (`id_skill`) REFERENCES `skills` (`id_skills`) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION;

You can see that I have tables Peoples, Weapons, Skills and linking table people_skills, weapons_skills (relations many to many), I need to find best matches weapon for people by checking matching skills if is possible in percentage, if weapon have all skills like people it will be 100%, no same skills it will be 0% etc, its possible to get it in some queries? or using PHP? I need to find good way, or another structure to database? but I need to have relations many to many

A: I think this will do the job:
select
p.*, w.*,
COUNT(DISTINCT(ps.id_skill)) as total_skills,
SUM(IF(ws.id_skill=ps.id_skill, 1, 0)) as matching_skills,
SUM(IF(ws.id_skill=ps.id_skill, 1, 0)) / COUNT(DISTINCT(ps.id_skill)) * 100 as matching_percentage
from peoples_skills ps
CROSS JOIN weapons_skills ws
JOIN peoples p ON p.id_people=ps.id_people
JOIN weapons w ON w.id_weapon=ws.id_weapon
GROUP BY p.id_people,w.id_weapon
ORDER BY matching_percentage DESC

matching_percentage is the value that you want. The results are ordered from the best match to the worst.

Debbie with Gabriel 'His bride to be' Debbie asked Gabriel to marry her, he nodded yes.
When strength allowed, she'd come at night. A vision of beauty despite all her suffering. She would ask, with humble tone, if it was all right to lay her oxygen cylinder upon my bed and then, with tender words, she would proceed to feed, water and play with me... my very own Bride to be.
It is true; she once asked me to marry her and I quickly nodded in agreement because I could not yet speak. I did not think the fourteen year age gap would be a problem, and you do not get such a proposal from such a beautiful woman like that every day of the week... Not quite sure about the mother-in-law though; Remember that time I showered you Debbie? not with roses or expensive perfume, but a leak from my chest drain. No dramatics or shrieks of horror, but a quick change of clothes and you were back lovingly attending to my every need.
Several months have passed since that evening and you no longer visit my hospital bedside. Yet another person that left without saying goodbye. My mummy still wants to encourage our relationship... she puts our photographs together in a pretty frame and we take it down to gaze upon and kiss. She talks about angels and God's promise of eternal life to all who believe in him.
That we will one day be reunited again, free from the confines of these hospital walls. In a place full of love, worship, thanksgiving and joy. The heaven which you already inhabit. Wait for me there Debbie, my bride to be... as you've set such a high standard, few women could match.


Pam Suraci of A Balanced Approach Counseling & Training contacted CyberYonder about a new website. Their outdated website was performing very poorly in the search engines and unable to attract new clients.CyberYonder created an new website that was highly informative and reached out to those in need of Pam's counseling and training services. Additionally, the website was fully Search Engine Optimized and responsive to being viewed on any platform. To handle the variety of training workshops for therapists run by the company, a Workshop Registration and payment system was also installed. The website redesign turned out great and the client could not be happier with the results!

Nationally known landscape architect Stuart Dawson is new to Dallas, but he is rapidly emerging as a key figure in the design of the grounds around at least three of the area's most important development projects. Fortunately, Dawson is not new to tough and unusual assignments, nor does he shrink away from the controversy that some of those projects generate.
Dawson, a principal partner with Massachusetts-based Sasaki Associates Inc., says that the decision to open a Dallas office came shortly after Sasaki was awarded a contract in 1982 to create an urban design for the Arts District and was then named as landscape architecture firm for Southland Corp.'s controversial Cityplace project. The local office opened last September, but even before the move, contracts had come Dawson's way for site design of Electronic Data System's 2,600-acre corporate campus in Piano as well as Frito-Lay Corp.'s 230-acre complex on the same site. In addition, Dawson is tentatively considering developing landscape guidelines for the Vineyard area of Oak Lawn. And he still has commitments to projects around the rest of the country that, for now, take him back to the home office at least a week out of each month.
Despite the 27 years that Daw-son spent at Sasaki's home office near Boston, he is no stranger to Texas, with projects to his credit such as Houston's Galleria Past Oak. And the potted cacti that dot Dawson's austere office in downtown Dallas remind the Illinois native of the year he spent stationed at Fort Bliss in El Paso. That was in 1958, and it was then that he decided to chuck what promised to be a successful military career in exchange for an unsolicited scholarship in landscape architecture to Harvard University and a job offer from renowned landscape architect Hideo Sasaki, founder of Sasaki Associates.
Despite that long-ago career choice, Dawson, 50, wears his military experience like a highly polished medal pinned securely to his coat pocket. He is a military prototype: stubborn square jaw, boyish good looks, intense eyes and a viselike handshake. He says quite honestly that he occasionally misses the feeling of power and authority that he felt at Fort Bliss.
