Tides Canada's Top 10 Canadian grassroots initiatives
Vancouver – The 2011 Tides Canada Top 10 were recently announced, recognizing the nation's most innovative and forward-thinking projects and organizations that have demonstrated outstanding leadership, vision and real-world impact in addressing today's most pressing environmental and social problems.
This year's Tides Top 10 includes organizations working from coast to coast to coast across the country – addressing complex problems in the areas of energy, food security, water, community well being, youth and discrimination. Highlights from this year's top ten include FarmStart, Not Far From the Tree and Waterlution.
Check out Tides Canada's Top 10 overview below:
One deserving group in the top ten, Climate Smart, was chosen for their work in the arena of "energy," helping small and mid-sized businesses calculate emissions, and measure and reduce their carbon footprint while cutting costs. Tides Canada recognized their ongoing excellent work with nearly 550 companies to date:
providing training, technology, and expertise to build private sector capacity for measurable behaviour change and a reduction in carbon consumption;
measuring close to 400,000 tonnes of CO2e — that's over 76,000 cars, 77,700 hot air balloons or 165,000 households; and
creating a social enterprise that builds business with a positive vision for a prosperous low carbon future.
"The businesses we've worked with are on average reducing their energy, electricity, travel and waste based carbon emissions by 7 percent in their first year – close to double what provincial targets are," reveals Sheehan. "At a time when international governments are folding on the challenge of climate change this award allows us to demonstrate that there is a strong business case for measuring and reducing carbon."
"Each of this year's Tides Top 10 initiatives is working on a unique set of environmental and social challenges, and each one is ground-breaking in their approach to social change," says Ross McMillan, President and CEO of Tides Canada. "Through innovation and solutions-oriented approaches, the Top 10 recipients are empowering others to drive positive change."

Q: Windows Form, потеря иконки в task bar, при потере фокуса приложением Случайно обнаружил следующий баг: выставляю у формы свойство FormBorderStyle равное FixedToolWindow. Далее, при запуске приложения мгновенно(еще до того, как окно успело открыться), передаю фокус другому элементу(щелчок по проводнику). Так вот, в task bar'е не отображается иконка запущенного приложения, хотя само приложение открыто. Щелчок по запущенному приложению возвращает иконку на положенное ей место. Ниже предоставлю два скриншота. Это баг, или я недопонимаю что-то?
P.S.: по коду: он может быть любой, просто создать проект WF и изменить данное свойство будет достаточно для получения вышеописанного бага.
Успел передать фокус проводнику, иконка не отобразилась:

Передал фокус запущенному приложению(кликнул по нему, скриншот не захватил курсор), и иконка тут же появилась:

Буду благодарен за любые комментарии.

A: FormBorderStyle

A tool window does not appear in the taskbar or in the window that appears when the user presses ALT+TAB.

Так и должно быть.
Более подробно: Установка свойства FormBorderStyle в FixedToolWindow добавляет к стилю окна значение WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, которое предотвращает появление кнопки в панели задач. Однако, у формы есть другое свойство ShownInTaskbar, которое добавляет к стилю окна WS_EX_APPWINDOW, делающее противоположное (принудительное отображение кнопки в панели задач). Если окно имеет оба этих стиля, получается что-то вроде неопределенного поведения, т.к. нигде четко не написано, что имеет приоритет.

A: У тебя три варианта. Первый и самый простой, это вернуть рамку, тем самым ты исправишь это неопределенной поведение. Во втором варианте ты можешь вручную, прямо в коде программы, устанавливать любые иконки. Для уверенности можешь отлавливать события фокуса и перерисовывать иконку. Третий вариант, он же самый интересный, ты можешь полностью отказаться от стандартного интерфейса и нарисовать свой собственный. Тем самым ты получишь и иконку и безрамочность.

Located in the state capitol city of Hartford, Connecticut, Trinity College looks like a traditional New England liberal arts school. However they espouse to act in untraditional ways with groundbreaking programs and staff as well as an urban-global education commitment. Trinity's 100 green-acre campus is dotted with historic buildings. Given it's urban location, the surrounding area is rather "sketchy", but there is plenty of campus security.
When evaluating candidates for admission, high emphasis is placed on your high school transcript – both grades and course selection. While standardized test scores are taken into consideration, Trinity admits students with a wide range of test scores and there is no minimum score required. They require one guidance counselor recommendation as well as two teacher recommendations – and prefer that one of these be from a teacher that can comment on your writing, i.e. an English teacher. Interviews are not required but are strongly encouraged. Interviews can take place via Skype or a local alumni. Approximately 30-40% of candidates are accepted.
Trinity offers many student-run clubs. They hold an 80's dance in the fall. Lots of big concerts, free music festivals and shopping trips. There's also plenty of multicultural clubs and houses and they often serve free food on Friday nights!
Plenty of dining options are offered with great food.
Trinity is a NESCAC institution (New England Small College Athletic Conference).
Trinity has a Div 1 Squash Team; the rest of the athletics teams are Div 3, including a great football team.

Season 2 of the series will drop on Apple TV Plus on Jan. 15, with new episodes dropping weekly. The 10-episode second season takes a supernatural turn with a darker future for all lying ahead as Leanne (Nell Tiger Free) returns to the brownstone and her true nature is revealed. The series also stars Lauren Ambrose, Toby Kebbell, and Rupert Grint.
"With Leanne, it's an ongoing reveal," series creator Tony Basgallop said in an interview with Variety in January. "We don't fully understand who she is and where she comes from, and her interpretation of who she is and where she comes from may not necessarily be the correct version."
This is the latest Apple original series to score an early renewal. The alternate history space race drama "For All Mankind" was picked up for a third season just last week ahead of its Season 2 debut in February.
"Servant" was created by Basgallop. He also executive produces along with M. Night Shyamalan, Ashwin Rajan, Jason Blumenthal, Todd Black and Steve Tisch. Taylor Latham and Patrick Markey also serve as executive producers.
This is also not the first time "Servant" has been given an early renewal. The show was renewed for a second season ahead of the Season 1 premiere, which took place shortly after the launch of Apple TV Plus last November. The streamer previously gave early renewals to shows like "See" and "Dickinson." Its flagship drama, "The Morning Show," was originally ordered for two seasons when it was first announced, with production ongoing on Season 2.

Two new services have been added to Specialist LINK, with nephrology and podiatric surgery the latest specialty groups to join the fast-growing tele-advice line.
Family physicians can now get real-time, non-urgent advice from 10 specialty groups. The others are chronic pain, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hepatology, neurology, pediatrics, respirology and rheumatology.
"We're delighted to include nephrology and podiatric surgery on Specialist LINK and hope to add more specialty groups in the coming months," said Dr. Linda Slocombe, chair of the Health Systems Support group that developed the tele-advice line.
Podiatric surgery advice available through Specialist LINK includes foot fractures, lacerations and questions related to foot pain. A specialist can also recommend what tests may be appropriate prior to a referral. Family physicians using the podiatric tele-advice line can bill for their call time with the specialist, as usual.
Accessing tele-advice from podiatric surgery and nephrology – and all the other Specialist LINK services – is simple: Physicians can call 403-910-2551 or toll-free at 1-844-962-5465, from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding statutory holidays. Chronic pain is available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Calls are returned within one hour.

Tasha T still burning the fire

As the recipient of the 2017-2018 'Compete for Peace, Not War' initiative, hosted by the Paris-based World Citizen Artists (WCA), reggae recording artiste Tasha T plans to continue delivering the message of peace and love in her music.
Tasha T's independent single, Spread Some Love, won the award over 2,000 participants in the peace competition.
"I decided to submit the song while I was producing; it was about what is happening all over the world with the gun violence, lack of love among the people, and not thinking about the children. That's how the lyrics came about: 'Spread some love, put down those guns, we gotta think about the children'," Tasha T told The Star.
The song was released in July 2017 on Tasha T's label, RasVibe Records Inc.
According to Tasha T, the message of peace in music can bring forth physical change.
"Music by Bob Marley, Burning Spear and the roots reggae group Culture has inspired people to make changes in their life. That's why I continue to push positive music with that message, as the youth, especially my own, are the main audience."
She says at times the industry has been discouraging, but as part of the struggle to be an influential ambassador of reggae music, she has worked regular nine-to-five jobs to maintain her career in music.
"It is not easy, because some people may not want to hear the messages. I have acquired jobs through agencies, working in administrative departments to factories until it is time to leave out of the country to where the music takes me," Tasha T said.
These jobs have supported past tours in the United Kingdom, and following the feedback received in the UK for tracks like Beautiful World and Bed of Fire from her 2014 album, Real Talk and Fire in Me, released in 2016, Tasha T was invited to Africa to perform.
The Spread Some Love tour in Ethiopia wrapped up before the artiste travelled to Jamaica to accept the award during Reggae Month at the Bob Marley birthday celebration. The music video is also being put together with scenes captured in Ethiopia, Canada and Jamaica.
Tasha T has been a musical ambassador for the Read Across Jamaica Foundation for five consistent years, promoting youth education for which her single, Educate Yourself, was adopted as a theme song.
"I want to make sure I am that role model," she said.
It is one of her wishes to start a foundation of her own, to continue educating and rewarding young people worldwide. Through the RasVibe Record label, Tasha T is embarking on productions with other recording artistes to have tracks on the Spread Some Love rhythm out later this year.

Establishment of First-Party Supplemental Needs Trusts
BYLINE: By Jay J. Sangerman; Jay J. Sangerman is a principal at Jay J. Sangerman, PLLC, a boutique law firm specializing in the planning and drafting of supplemental needs trusts in personal injury and medical malpractice matters.
A recent decision by the Broome County surrogate in In re Gillette [n1] is important for its illustration of significant entitlement planning possibilities for the disabled through the use of supplemental needs trusts.
Richard Gillette, through his attorney-in-fact, had sought to establish such a trust for his benefit into which to transfer assets to which he had a right. Mr. Gillette had been a recipient of Supplemental Security Income [SSI], Social Security Disability [SSD] and Medicaid. In order to maintain his SSI eligibility, Mr. Gillette sought to place his retroactive SSI payments into a supplemental needs trust. The problem, as the decision states, is that the execution of the trust did not conform to the requirements of federal and state laws.
A supplemental needs trust is an important estate planning tool that permits the maximization of funds to be made available to a disabled individual [n2] without the funds being counted as income or resources for the determination of Medicaid and SSI eligibility.
There are essentially two types of supplemental needs trusts: [i] the third-party supplemental needs trust established for a beneficiary and funded by one other than the beneficiary and [ii] the first-party supplemental needs trust established with the beneficiary's own funds. The later form is discussed in Gillette.
The first-party supplemental needs trust was codified in OBRA '93 [n5] and the conforming state law. [n6] Under the federal and state laws, a first-party supplemental needs trust can be established only by a parent, grandparent, legal guardian, or court of competent jurisdiction at a time that the individual is under age 65.
The property of a properly drafted and properly executed supplemental needs trust is not countable as income and resources for SSI and Medicaid eligibility. This exception for the transfer of property into a supplemental needs trust continues to apply after the individual reaches 65. However, any additions to, or augmentation of, the supplemental needs trust after 65 are not subject to this exception and are, therefore, countable for purposes of SSI and Medicaid eligibility. [n7]
The creator of the supplemental needs trust cannot be the beneficiary him/herself. [n8] In Gillette, because Mr. Gillette had neither a parent, nor a grandparent, the trust had to be established by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by himself or his attorney-in-fact. That was Mr. Gillette's error, through his attorney-in-fact, who acted as the settlor of the trust. Mr. Gillette's application to the court after SSI informed him that the trust was not valid, therefore, was the proper procedure for him to follow for the establishment of the supplemental needs trust.
A valid first-party supplemental needs trust requires that Medicaid receive all amounts remaining in the supplemental needs trust at its termination up to the total amount of all Medical Assistance paid on behalf of the beneficiary. [n9]
The first-party supplemental needs trust is generally used for the placement of the net proceeds from a medical malpractice action or personal injury action. Supplemental needs trusts are also useful for the placement, inter alia, of savings, retirement funds, pension payments and other assets so that the individual may qualify for Medicaid and/or SSI. In New York state, it is also possible under the Medicaid rules to place certain income into the supplemental needs trust. [n10]
Established by a Court
Neither the federal nor state law requires that any particular court, nor even a court of any particular state, be the court establishing the trust. Furthermore, as in Gillette, if the intended beneficiary of the supplemental needs trust is mentally competent, there is no reason that a guardianship proceeding should be required for the establishment of a supplemental needs trust. The beneficiary must be disabled pursuant to federal law, as defined by the Social Security Administration, i.e., unable to engage in gainful employment. There is no requirement for mental incapacity.
Gillette states that, so long as the supplemental needs trust is ordered by a court, the beneficiary may be the creator of the trust. However, contrary to Gillette, the trust must be "established ... by a parent, grandparent, legal guardian, or court of competent jurisdiction" [n12] and not merely by court order. Therefore, the Gillette supplemental needs trust ordered by the surrogate may not comply with the law.
Although the trust can be established by a parent or grandparent, the parent or grandparent cannot, without legal authority, transfer the beneficiary's funds, or prospective funds, into the supplemental needs trust. A competent beneficiary can cause such transfer.
The Social Security Administration has recently stated that it requires clear language in the trust that the beneficiary is competent to transfer assets into the trust and is, in fact, the one causing the transfer, otherwise there must be a showing of legal authority to make the transfer for the beneficiary. [n13]
In Gillette, the intent was to fund the supplemental needs trust with lump sum retroactive SSI payments and, although not stated in the decision, possibly SSD payments. In New York, monthly income can be transferred into a supplemental needs trust and, therefore, not be countable for calculation of income for Medicaid eligibility. [n14]
The Social Security Administration has yet to rule whether monthly income placed into a supplemental needs trust would not reduce SSI benefits. However, SSI payments into a supplemental needs trust are countable as income in New York for a determination of available income under the Medicaid program. [n15]
The following recommendations can help avoid the problems that occurred in Gillette:
§ The attorney should send a draft copy of the supplemental needs trust to the appropriate Medicaid department for review and approval, thereby avoiding Mr. Gillette's error in the manner in which the trust was executed. Colorado, by statute, appropriately requires approval by Medicaid prior to the trust's execution. [n16] Massachusetts, which will not give a pre-approval letter, will grant a period of time to modify the special needs trust.
§ Upon executing the supplemental needs trust, a copy of the executed trust must be filed with Medicaid. [n17]
§ In the instance of a personal injury or medical malpractice action, the parties should consider the use of a structured settlement annuity. [n18] The advantages of a structured settlement are, inter alia:
a. If the recovery is related to a physical injury, the income earned within the structure is fully income tax exempt. [n19]
b. The structured settlement is an investment plan which can protect against improvident investments and imprudent discretionary expenditures.
c. The structured settlement proceeds, according to a recent Northern District decision, may be protected from a bankruptcy action. [n20]
§ Attorneys and courts should consider whether the beneficiary is better protected with the use of a corporate fiduciary or an individual fiduciary.
§ Draft the supplemental needs trust with flexibility to allow for the beneficiary's move from one jurisdiction to another county or state and changes that may be required to the provisions of the supplemental needs trust. New Jersey, for instance, requires in the trust document, inter alia, the age of the beneficiary; statement of disability; whether the beneficiary is competent; and advance notification to Medicaid of any expense in excess of $5,000. None of these conditions are required in New York.
§ If funds originate from a personal injury or medical malpractice action, check whether the beneficiary is a recipient of Medicaid and/or Medicare to determine whether there may be a lien. Under the Medicare Secondary Payer [MSP] rule, [n21] any individual involved in the personal injury/medical malpractice matter can be held liable if the Medicare lien is not paid.

Turkey is the perfect destination for incentives and events of all kind. The MICE sector presently documents the largest growth in Europe. For several years already Turkey, with all its facets, is providing a steadily developing infrastructure in the MICE business. Even in the tourism sector the offers flourish for every taste and occasion. Almost every established hotel group worldwide has at least one or more properties in one of the large Turkish cities. No surprise, as Turkey stands out with its renowned hospitality and first-class service orientation – values, which make for general appreciation in the market and a solid position in the world. Turkey is among the top MICE destinations of Europe for quite a long time. And rightly so!

Culture Capital 2010, UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hardly any other city can be oriental. Countless mosques, palaces, museums, bridges, churches, luxurious shopping streets, bazars – Istanbul is one of the most beautiful and exciting Turkish cities and the only one in the world connecting two continents. Founded as Byzantium by the Greeks, as Constantinople the capital of the Roman Empire and later conquered by the Ottomans, the metropolis at the Bosporus is node of diverse cultures and religions, which have created different examples of architecture over the millenniums. The byzantine Hagia Sophia for instance, built as a Christian church and changed to a Mosque by the Ottomans. Or the splendid Topkapi Palace, built in the headlands of the Golden Horn after the conquest by Sultan Mehmet II. Istanbul´s landmark though is the Sultan-Ahmed-Mosque, named Blue Mosque, dominating the city´s silhouette with its six minarets.
Antalya had a great role already in ancient times. According to historical resources, King Attalos characterized the region of Antalya as paradise on earth as he caught sight of it for the first time. Due to its natural harbor and generative environment the region developed to a settlement area over the centuries. Antalya has a touching history: Persians, Alexander the Great, Romans, Arabians and many more – all have left their marks, but it was King Attalos of Pergamon, who has affected the name of the city: Attalia, deriving from today´s Antalya. Next to the newest trends in the tourism sector, e.g. in spa development, Antalya stands for nature, history, culture, shopping, sports and gastronomy, combined with the hearty hospitality of the people.
Bizarre rock formations as far as the eye can see – Cappadocia is a fascinating fairy-tale landscape. In the heart of Turkey stony cones and pyramids, specified as "fairy chimneys" or "fairy hills", are formed through emission of lava, wind and water. The area between Ankara, Kayseri and Konya is prominent for its plentiful sightseeing, as churches, caves and homes were chiseled in this soft tuff. In Göreme, one of the oldest settlements in Cappadocia, entire monastery constructions with frescos in the rocks, which were defined by the UNESCO as World Heritage site, can be visited. An extreme good local kitchen and excellent native wines make the stay in Cappadocia much more outstanding.
"The beautiful city" und the "pearl of the Aegean" – thus Izmir is called affectionately by its natives and guests. Once visited the city will always attract with its beauty. Izmir is the third largest city of Turkey, situated in a picturesque Aegean bay at the Golf of Izmir. Numerous tourists are fascinated yearly by the view onto a hilly landscape in the back country and by a contemplative stroll at the beautiful seafront around the turquoise ocean. The convenient temperatures in spring and autumn are just right to visit Izmir. Here you will find the second largest harbour of the country, being an attractive stopover for cruise liners. Even today many more relicts from ancient times of the city are exposed and in the next years the development of an "Archaeology and History Park" is being promoted. Thus, the visitors of the city will be enchanted further more with oriental attractions and treasures.
Bodrum is situated in the south-western part of the Turkish Aegean on a peninsula. The characteristic white houses appealed to visitors ever since. Bodrum´s landmark is the impressive St. Peter´s Castle, settled on a peninsula in a picturesque bay of Bodrum. A visit to St. Peter´s Castle is a must in every program. The historical windmills of Bodrum are also worth visiting. A great view onto the Aegean city and its harbour is guaranteed here. Under good weather conditions you can even see the Greek island Kos from here. For a relaxed evening the harbour area is just right: On the Cumhuriyet Caddesi there are plenty of bars, cafés and shops.
Once the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabians and Ottomans regenerated here. Today especially rich Turkish businessmen travel to the peninsula and the charming coastal city of the same name, with its 10.000 residents. Their white yachts, sailing and motor boats sparkle at the harbour of Cesme. Outside, in front of the beach, surfers are busy on the azure waves of the Aegean. This area is known for its highest oxygen of the world. Cesme is in the heart of the Aegean and yet a secluded corner. Just 80 kilometres eastwards you will find the restless tourist centre of Izmir. The renowned archaeological excavation Pergamon is 180 kilometres and Ephesus 155 kilometres away. Above Cesme an old Genoese fortress of the 15th century is located here. From its harbour ferry boats start to Venice, Bari and Brindisi. In the near environment quiet and fine sandy bays invite to a chilling atmosphere.


You will most certainly have a music theory class imbedded in your schedule. For students who were not exposed to music theory in high school or who are "self taught" on their instrument, these courses can be especially difficult. Being able to transcribe music (and fully comprehend when you are reading music) is essential to being able to make a career out of your passion. Be sure to make time in your schedule to study music theory so you stay on top of your required assignments.
Well, of course! You have to practice! Even though this sounds obvious, trying to cram in practice hours in between your classes, performances, workshops and you know, being a normal human who needs to eat and sleep – can be tough to find the time. Practicing outside of class is, however, essential to grow as a musician and make the most of your time as a music major. Make a commitment to yourself each week on how many hours you would like to set aside for practicing – and follow through!
On top of your music classes, you will most likely need to complete a standard number of academic classes to graduate. Finding time to complete homework and projects for these classes can be challenging when trying to juggle your music course load, practice hours, etc. Keeping your grades up, even in classes that you don't see the inherent value in right now, is extremely important so you graduate on time.
Most music majors are required to learn piano or some sort of second instrument. Also, you will most likely be required to sing and take sight singing classes. This can be especially nerve wracking if this is not your forte – but, as they say, practice makes perfect! It can be easy to put off practicing something that doesn't come natural, but the more you push yourself outside of your comfort zone, the more achieved you'll feel.
Most of your hard work spent in class will culminate in a performance or recital. Getting ready for a recital, as you know, requires a lot of time management and focus. If you've got a recital coming up next month, be sure to set aside time to make sure you are 100% prepared and are practicing for it appropriately.
Being a music major requires a tremendous amount of commitment. If you truly love music, and you know this is where your heart is and can't see yourself doing anything else – then hooray! Get started here and get ready for a busy, challenging and most of all, fulfilling year.

Das Rathaus Alsfeld ist überwiegend als Fachwerkbau ausgeführt und ist baulich der späten Gotik im Übergang zur Renaissance zuzuordnen.

Baubeschreibung
Das historische Rathaus der hessischen Stadt Alsfeld steht frei und traufständig am Marktplatz der Stadt mit der Anschrift Am Markt 1. Das Erdgeschoss besteht aus drei steinernen Arkaden. Die beiden darauf aufgesetzten Vollgeschosse und die drei Dachgeschosse des steilen Satteldachs sind dagegen in Fachwerk als Rähmbau ausgeführt. Die beiden auskragenden Stockwerke ruhen auf Knaggen. Die marktseitige Fassade sowie die Rückseite des Gebäudes dominieren je zwei mittig angeordnete, sich über den ersten und zweiten Stock erstreckende Erker, die von Kragsteinen des steinernen Erdgeschosses getragen werden und mit spitz zulaufenden Turmhelmen gekrönt sind. Auch die Giebelseiten weisen Erker auf.

Im Innern ist im zweiten Stock die ursprüngliche Raumteilung noch erhalten: Ein größerer Raum mit Mittelstütze, ursprünglich "Tanzboden", heute ein Sitzungssaal. Und ein kleinerer Raum, die "Kleine Stube", ursprünglich Gerichtssaal, heute vom Standesamt als Trausaal genutzt. Zu ihm führt eine reich geschnitzte Prunktür. Beide Räume haben ornamentale Ausmalungen an Wänden und Decken von 1577 und 1655, die 1911 restauriert wurden. Eine hölzerne Wendeltreppe verbindet die Stockwerke.

Steinmetz- und Zimmererarbeiten sind von hoher Qualität. Das Gebäude gilt als "bedeutender Fachwerkbau der Übergangsepoche Spätgotik-Renaissance". Das Rathaus ist heute ein Kulturdenkmal aufgrund des Hessischen Denkmalschutzgesetzes.

Geschichte
Das Gebäude wurde zwischen 1512 und 1516 erbaut. 1760 wurden die die Erker bekrönenden Turmhelme abgetragen. Die heute sichtbaren Turmhelme sind Rekonstruktionen, an der Vorderseite von 1910/11, auf der Rückseite von 1967/68.

Das Alsfelder Rathaus war stilprägend für die Region und Vorbild etwa für das Rathaus in Schotten oder das Neue Schloss in Gießen.

Wissenswert
2011 gab die Deutsche Post AG eine von Dieter Ziegenfeuter gestaltete 45-Cent-Sonderbriefmarke mit dem Alsfelder Rathaus als Motiv heraus.

Das Rathaus ziert zudem das Logo der ortsansässigen Brauerei.

Modelle des Rathauses sind von den Modellbahnzubehör-Herstellern Faller und Kibri in Spur H0, von Kibri zudem auch in Spur Z erhältlich.

First Circuit standard of review
Here's some succinct appellate standard of review language from a recent First Circuit decision (Moulton v. Shell Oil Products LLC, Docket No. 05-2771 (April 18, 2008)):
We review the denial of judgment as a matter of law de novo as to issues of law. See Rodriguez-Torres, 399 F.3d at 57. As to matters of fact, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, asking only whether a rational jury could on the basis of that evidence find as the jury has. See id. We review a denial of a motion for a new trial for "a manifest abuse of discretion." United States v. George, 448 F.3d 96, 101 (1st Cir. 2006). We "will order a new trial only if the verdict is against the demonstrable weight of the credible evidence or results in a blatant miscarriage of justice." Whitfield v. Meléndez-Rivera, 431 F.3d 1, 9 (1st Cir. 2005) (internal quotation omitted). We will uphold a jury award if it is a result of "any rational appraisal or estimate of the damages that could be based on the evidence before the jury." Data Gen. Corp. v. Grunman Sys. Support Corp., 36 F.3d 1147, 1172 (1st Cir. 1994) (quoting Anthony v. G.M.D. Airline Servs., 17 F.3d 490, 493 (1st Cir. 1994)).

An employee health and wellness program can be hugely beneficial to your business. Not only are you investing in your employees' futures, but you're decreasing your business' health care costs in the long run.
ONLINE TRAINING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS.

All follow along training videos are filmed in 4K HD video, giving you a crystal clear picture on your phone, tablet, laptop or PC that will make you feel like your trainer is in the same room with you.
Communicate directly with other members through our built in community.
From you home PC, laptop or smartphone, you can view your training schedule, daily meal plans or message your coach from any device.
Now you don't have to guess or think about what to eat. You will be provided with a daily breakdown of the exact foods to eat and when to eat them.
You can take pictures, log your body fat, track your monthly fat loss and muscle gain progress all inside the app.
The core of every good wellbeing program is behavior change. This program will help your employees adopt and sustain healthy behaviors – as healthy behaviors lead to lower health risks, and lower health risks lead to less chronic disease. With less health problems and chronic diseases, employees will achieve greater overall health and account for lesser health care costs.
It is estimated that the cost associated with unproductiveness due to poor employee health is at least 2 to 3 times greater than direct health care expenses. Also, any wellbeing program that can reduce absenteeism will experience cost savings. Harvard researchers looked at the ROI of wellness programs as they relate to absenteeism and demonstrated that for every dollar wellness programs spend on wellness they can save $2.73 and reduce absenteeism.
Proper nutrition and exercise does wonders for employee morale and performance. Exercise also boosts the release of endorphins, or the 'happy' hormone. Happy employees are also more productive, more engaged and less likely to leave – or take a sick day – as well.
Employee wellbeing programs could boost employee engagement, leading to improved retention and productivity. An employee wellbeing program also engages and benefits employees outside of the office, so they're more likely to feel that their job has a positive impact on multiple aspects of their lives, and they'll be more likely to stay long-term.
A self enhancing portal to help elevate company culture.
As employees work on improving their health together, bonding and camaraderie will follow. Employees cite "lack of communication in the workplace" as a company problem in surveys year after year. Implementing an employee wellness program will get people working together toward the same goal—outside of their usual work responsibilities. This would definitely improve company communication, while simultaneously helping to support a healthy lifestyle.
At 5'11, I was about 32% body fat and close to 200 lbs. I'm now 21% body fat and 148lbs. I'm starting to see more definition and getting closer to my ideal goal each day and my athletic ability has improved tremendously. I'm stronger, sharper, more focused and way more energized. I've learned so much about proper nutrition and even how to cook! This program has taught me that fitness is not just about the physical body, but enhancing your mental and emotional level of fitness as well.
What makes this different than other wellness programs?
This isn't a random program or gym membership that assumes you know what you're doing or that you even want to do it. This is a unique training method that will not only show you exactly what to do, but also what to eat and how to get yourself "in state" in order to achieve your goals. Also, the most important aspect of any wellbeing plan isn't just the program, but also the accountability and sustainability to do so. Our coaches are ready to help support and guide you through our built in app messenger that you can easily access when you have any questions or concerns.
Does this include nutritional consultation?
Yes, we provide basic nutritional education and planning. We will provide basic nutrition education and write menu suggestions and opinions about food choices, meal timing, shopping lists. We do not claim to possess dietary degrees, registered or otherwise, and will certainly not provide medically based nutritional advice. We will simply educate clients on best practices and assist in the development of meal plan options to achieve their needs.
What If I Don't Have A Gym Membership?
One of the most important benefits of training in the Warrior Athlete Online, is that you are able to adapt your training to your schedule and location. This makes it especially beneficial for those individuals that travel, have tight schedules or just don't like gyms. The Warrior Athlete requires minimal equipment to deliver its impact. Although eventually, you will have to invest in minimal equipment such as a standing heavy bag, and or pads if you don't have access to them in order to practice and increase your skills.

Your training can be adapted to anywhere you are, utilizing whatever equipment (or no equipment) you have. The same accountability, workout tracking and coaching is all available on your smartphone and travels with you. Our coaches will be there to guide and motivate even when you're on the run or away from home.
Is this program customizable for my level of fitness?
Yes. Once you fill out the assessment you will be given a nutrition and workout plan, specifically designed to address your needs and your goals. Our training program is designed to challenge all types of individuals, from beginners looking to build their base, to the more advanced trainee looking for a unique challenge.

"I am one of Safe & Secures first customers, our family home was then located in Killara and our family was quite young. Safe & Secure has since provided me with security systems in numerous premises both residential and commercial.
As our family has grown Safe & Secure is providing security for their family homes.
I was delighted when Peter asked if I would provide this testimonial letter, Peter's company; Safe & Secure has always acted professionally and efficiently and I will continue recommend their services."
Safe & Secure provides a full range of service and upgrade options for existing alarm systems.
Want to upgrade an existing security system?
Alarm technology has changed a lot in recent years, and the fact is that some older systems are now basically obsolete. Some simply don't have the capabilities of modern systems, and can't really do the job properly.
Local alarms often need to be upgraded. They're usually older systems that people have had for years, and their condition varies. It's important to make sure these systems are maintained because they're often not monitored, and their condition isn't regularly checked. They can fail without notifying the user.
Among the most important to keep up to date, monitored alarms need to be kept current to be fully effective. These capabilities are literally life savers, state of the art, and extremely efficient. Previous generations of alarms are based on technologies which can't provide this level of support.
For homeowners, there's a further issue. The obsolete systems don't work very well with the new technologies, either. This is very like having an old computer which can't handle new software, and that's literally the case with some old alarm systems. Upgrades are necessary in these situations.
Thinking of upgrading your alarm system?
Upgrading both solves and prevents alarm system problems. In some cases, upgrades are redesigns of existing systems. It's a good idea to review your security needs while upgrading, to make sure you get the best value out of your system.
Important: It's also a good idea to ensure that the alarm system is properly configured to your current needs. Some older systems remain in place after renovations or other major changes, and may need to be redesigned.
Safe & Secure can service and upgrade all existing security systems. We have the most modern, proven alarm systems available.
These are all standard features with our Monitored Security Systems, and we can also upgrade local alarm to meet current insurance requirements.


"I cannot echo enough what Naomi in Hove says " Money barely represents what a single session is worth". What you have done for me has literally changed my life with it's amazing instant and personalised affect. My physical pain after one week of the session has been halved, so impressive that my Osteopath noticed it, my back less rigid for instance. And as for my formerly traumatic life, well now I understand my purpose, why things happened in childhood etc. I know feel like a sea bird observing its life, perched high on a cliff top, and like that bird, I feel that I have the entire navigational control of my life. For the first time I might add in forty two years so far!
"I arrived excited and apprehensive, there is a great deal of information that I am going to sift through, which may take some time!
It's definitely a new part of my journey which is exciting at my age (66) and shows me that life begins yet again, here we go again, on another venture.
And when you choose to go on, after a few sessions, you will turn your life around.
Sometimes people leave testimonials for friends in the hope to help boost ratings etc, the testimonials I have just read on this page completely and genuinely reflect how I feel after having an emotional clearing with Paul, it was worth every second and I now feel stronger every day. If only Paul C Burr had come to give us all a talk at school I wonder just how many of us would have made a less painful transition through our young lives.
Thank you for your testimony Sam. I really appreciate it.
