Capital murder charges filed in case of missing nurse Terri Sullivan

Terri Sullivan web_1548170326150.jpg.jpg

UPDATE 3:38 P.M.

The charges against Samuel Sullivan and Jenny Sullivan have been upgraded to capital murder, Washington County Sheriff Richard Stringer tells News 5.

The Sheriff said these arrests have been in the making for a while. He said,  “It is finally all come together last week, so we decided to go ahead and make the arrests, we have the evidence.”

The two suspects were arrested at Samuel Sullivan’s home in Wilmer. Investigators spent the afternoon gathering evidence from the home. Sheriff Stringer said, “We had some other evidence that we were looking for that we didn’t need it, but it certainly enforced the case, reinforced the case, and we were able to find that today.”

Sheriff Stringer told News 5 WCSO spoke to Terri Sullivan’s family earlier in the day. He said they were happy to hear the news. He said, “They were very excited and happy that the arrests had been made, but of course they’re still going through some tough times right now. The family is realizing that these are the folks that committed this crime.”

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Ala. (WKRG) — Two people are under arrest in the case of missing nurse Terri Sullivan.

Her husband Samuel Sullivan and his ex-wife Jenny Sullivan were taken into custody Thursday in Mobile County.

Washington County Sheriff Richard Stringer says the two will be charged with first-degree kidnapping. However, he says he expects capital murder charges to be filed once positive identification is made on human remains discovered in Grand Bay in March.

The remains were found near a burned car on Grand Bay Wilmer Road. Terri Sullivan had rented the car before she disappeared.

Terri Sullivan was reported missing in January. She worked as a nurse at Springhill Medical Center in Mobile.

Bill would close consent loophole for federal officers

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Lawmakers on Capitol Hill want to close a loophole that allows law enforcement officers avoid criminal charges if they claim sex with someone they arrested was consensual.

Sens. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, and Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, are working together on the bill. They say current rules give officers too much power and leave victims voiceless.

“We need to protect those that are in our custody,” Ernst said.

If the bill becomes law, sex involving any federal law enforcement member and an arrestee would be a crime punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

More than 30 states have laws on the books that allow sex between officers and people they have arrested. Ernst and Booker’s bill would offer those states more federal money if they make it a crime.

“When they realize it can affect their funding, I think it’ll get their attention,” Patrick O’Carroll, the executive director of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, said.

He said he’s on board with changing the law and that states should fall in line.

“When you make an arrest, you take away their freedom and that person’s safety is your responsibility and for you take advantage of that is abhorrent,” he said.

He said agents are trained to understand that and the line is rarely crossed.

But how often it actually happens is unclear. The federal Bureau of Justice Statistics doesn’t collect data on sexual misconduct by officers. The bill would also change that.

The bill has bipartisan support in the Senate, but no votes have been scheduled.

Miami-Dade County Officials Test New Traffic Signal System To Enhance Public Transit

Jul 17, 2018

Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez and other officials rode an express bus along the South Dade Transitway Corridor on Tuesday morning to test new smart traffic priority signals meant to speed up public and private transit throughout the county.

The system increases the number of green lights for buses along the corridor and reduces wait times during red lights.

The South Dade Transitway Corridor is the only bus route that currently has the system. But Miami-Dade officials plan to expand it to other thoroughfares—including U.S. 1—for both buses and cars.

"All the signals in Miami-Dade County in the very near future will be smart," Gimenez said, "which should help all commuters in Miami-Dade County to get to and from where they want to go faster."

The mayor and Alice Bravo, the county's Director of the Department of Public Transportation and Public Works, noted that the traffic signal technology decreases bus travel time along the entire South Dade busway by about 15 minutes. The system for the entire county will cost around $150 million, Gimenez said.

The signals work by communicating directly with buses, said Mark Nogaki, senior vice president for sales for Econolite, the company that's installing the system. As a bus approaches an intersection, it pings a central traffic management network, which then tries to change lights to green and minimize red light wait times.

County Commissioner Esteban Bovo Jr. sat in the first row of the bus during the test ride with Diaz and Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava. Bovo Jr. said he was impressed with the improvements.

"It speaks to what an enhanced bus system along the corridor can mean," he said.

Deion Ellison, who boarded the bus during the test ride and rides public transit everyday, added that the upgrade will help him commute north from Cutler Bay faster.

The test ride came days ahead of a vote by the county's Transporation Planning Organization on whether to develop a separate "rapid transit" bus system along the South Dade busway or instead support extending the Metrorail south.

The rapid transit option would feature modernized buses designed for group boarding, stations with permanent structures for shade and rail-like crossing arms to let buses speed through intersections like trains. Gimenez has touted the system as a cost-efficient way to improve transit and increase ridership as part of the county's SMART Plan

He said the new traffic signals tested on Tuesday could show that improving bus transit is effective and that a Metrorail extension is unnecessary. His administration has argued that the extension is also unlikely to receive federal funding because the South Dade corridor is too rural and does not have enough ridership.

But mayors and other elected officials, including Levine Cava, are calling for the county to fulfill its promises to extend the Metrorail. Levine Cava said the county can increase ridership by using the new signals. It does not need the rapid transit system, she said.

"Just like [the signal system] shows, we can improve the ride right now," she said. "Let people know that they can reduce their commute time, and we can build our case to extend the rail line to Florida City."

Family Business Celebrated in Montgomery County

PBS39 News Reports

Family biz

Delaware Valley Business Center specializes in consulting for family-owned businesses.

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. (WLVT) - Family businesses face a set of unique challenges; in addition to the usual work of building a business, they have to maintain family harmony. Around 100 family business forums exist throughout the country to assist and advise family businesses, usually run through universities.

But one Montgomery County firm, a family business itself, has created a community of family businesses helping each other.

“Family businesses are complex because families are involved,” said Henry Landes, founder of family business consulting firm Delaware Valley Family Business Center. “It’s very difficult for family business owners to tell the truth to their family members, and if they don’t do that, it’s a disservice to their family member as well as to the company.”

Landes founded the Telford-based Delaware Valley Family Business Center in 1988, which works with companies through common family business snafus. Following some of his own practices, Landes passed on the business to his second cousin, Sally Derstine, five years ago. She said many business leaders fall into the same traps when trying to keep the business in the family.

“They kind of end up in the family business because it’s kind of what expectations what might be and they’re not sure what they want to do. It’s kind of the worst-case scenario,” said Derstein, managing partner at the center. “But for those that choose it, it can really be a wonderful thing because they have shared values, a shared history together, and they really care about each other and love each other. It can really be a competitive advantage when everybody chooses to work together. “

In addition to working with family businesses one-on-one, the center runs periodic Peer Group Leadership Labs for family businesses to work together.

“Very often, family businesspeople think they’re so different from other people and their businesses are so different, and nobody could possibly understand what they’re going through or some of the troubles they have or some of the difficulties they have,” said Bill Wanger of Fox Rothschild LLP. “When they get together with other family businesses and they realize that other people have the same issues and are going through the same difficulties, there’s a certain sense that, wow, I can talk to these people because they understand me.”

The center hosted a special forum Nov. 15 celebrating its 30th anniversary. Member of dozens of family businesses came to share their experience and support the center.

Some of the expected 230 guests couldn’t attend due to inclement weather, but others braved the snow, some traveling from several states away; Karen Keim of Keim Lumber drove all the way from Ohio.

Keim Lumber was founded in 1911 and is now in its fourth generation of family ownership.
“There’s a lot of unspoken things that go along with it when it’s been father passed down to son, and sometimes there’s a lot of dynamics that go along with that,” said Keim, whose husband is currently president of Keim Lumber.

Rather than measuring success by calendar quarters, many family businesses measure success by the number of generations involved. It’s not always easy to pass down the business; though 70 percent of family business owners want to pass the business on to the next generation, only 30 percent are actually able to do so, according to a Peak Family Business survey.

Keim Lumber has been working with the Family Business Center through another generational transition for the last two and half years.

“It’s been a huge impact on our family, on our business, and really I’m not sure where we would be if we hadn’t engaged with them,” Keim said.

One of the keys of good decision-making is open communication, Landes said. After 30 years of helping family businesses communicate among themselves and with each other, he said he was proud of the success those businesses have found: “I have a great sense of accomplishment for having created a community of learning for business families.”

Put down those macadamia nuts: Products recalled due to E. coli concern

Put down those macadamia nuts: Products recalled due to E. coli concern

Sorry, macadamia nut lovers.

Certain macadamia nut products produced by the company Mauna Loa have been voluntarily recalled due to potential E. coli contamination, the Hawaii Department of Health announced on Monday.

The recall includes food items produced at the company's facility on Macadamia Road in Kea'au, Hawaii, between September 6 and 21. It was in response to E. coli detected in the well water and distribution system that supplies the facility, according to the health department.

The department noted that no illnesses related to the water have been reported to the state, but all retailers of Mauna Loa macadamia nut products should remove items received after September 6 due to the risk of possible contamination.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled products should get rid of them immediately or try to return them to where they were purchased, according to the health department.

"There is clear evidence that food produced at the Kea'au facility may be contaminated and consumers may be at risk," Peter Oshiro, chief of the department's sanitation branch, said in the department's announcement.

"The Department of Health is working with the facility to ensure the safety of their drinking water and food production."

Earlier this month, samples taken from the facility's water distribution system showed no contamination in test results, but then on Friday, the Hawaii Department of Health was notified of a sample testing positive for E. coli, according to the department's announcement. Food production operations subsequently stopped.

Now the department is working with the facility to ensure its drinking water is safe and the facility is cleared before operations are allowed to resume, according to the announcement.

The department said that the Mauna Loa facility will remain closed until it meets all requirements and standards under the department's Sanitation Branch and Safe Drinking Water Branch.

Symptoms of E. coli begin between one and 10 days after consuming contaminated food or drink, but most people become sick three to four days after exposure, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Symptoms can include diarrhea that is sometimes bloody, vomiting and fever. Most people recover within five to seven days. Some individuals, about 5 to 10 percent, develop hemolytic-uremic syndrome, a condition that is the most common cause of acute kidney failure in children.

Chapter 9: Fundamental Physics

Section 3: Irreversibility and the Second Law of Thermodynamics

My explanation of the Second Law

What I say in this book is not incompatible with much of what has been said about the Second Law before; it is simply that I make more definite some key points that have been left vague before. In particular, I use notions of computation to specify what kinds of initial conditions can reasonably be prepared, and what kinds of measurements can reasonably be made. In a sense what I do is just to require that the operation of coarse graining correspond to a computation that is less sophisticated than the actual evolution of the system being studied. (See also Chapters 10 and 12.)

Kibo reports positive co-operation with Mining Commission for MCPP mining licence application

Published by
World Coal,

Kibo Energy PLC, the multi-asset, Africa focused, energy company, has announced a further positive development on the Mbeya Coal to Power Project (MCPP) licencing process.

Louis Coetzee, CEO of Kibo Energy, commented: "We are very encouraged by the latest developments in respect of our ML-application, which is the product of constructive and co-operative interaction with the Mining Commission. The conversion of the SML-application into seven ML-applications demonstrates the willingness and commitment of the Mining Commission to cooperate with investors under the latest mining legislation and to find practical solutions in the interest of all stakeholders in order to stimulate the mining industry in Tanzania. The change in approach with regard to the ML-application has also provided further clarity with regard to ongoing development of the MCPP in general and will afford the MCPP with a very welcome gain in forward momentum."

Following the publication by the Mining Commission on 20 September 2018 (see RNS of 26 September 2018) that the Mbeya Coal Ltd Application for a SML was recommended for approval, Kibo remained engaged in communication with the Mining Commission regarding the approval process, which amongst other items also required cabinet approval. The Mining Commission and Kibo recently agreed that on technical and procedural grounds converting the SML-application into seven ML-applications would be the most efficient and effective approach under prevailing legislation to licence the area under application for commercial mining activity and to ensure proper support for the successful delivery of the MCPP. This approach also allows for improved opportunity to serve the interests of all stakeholders in a more balanced manner over the long term. There is no difference in the status of a SML vs that of a ML with the key differences between the two types of licences being:

  • Surface Area, (SML - 70 km2; ML – 10 km2).
  • Duration, (SML - life of mine; ML - 10 years, renewable until depletion of deposit).
  • Level of Approval (SML - Cabinet level; ML - Ministerial level. Further updates on the progress of the seven ML-applications will be provided in due course.

The message from the government to the UKs small business owners since the EU referendum has been pretty clear: ‘opportunity is out there – and you should be too’. Now, our 5.5 million small businesses have been told repeatedly, is not the time to retrench, cutback or withdraw, now is the time to look to new horizons for untapped trade opportunities. As recently as October, Liam Fox, Secretary of State for International Trade, told the Tory Party conference that he wanted the “UK to trade its way to prosperity, stability and security”.

And at WorldFirst, we’re doing our bit to help.

We’ve been supporting entrepreneurs go global since 2004 and, with the launch of our new World Account, we’re now able to go even further. Our ability to open local currency accounts for small business clients means that we are helping them overcome one of the most stubborn barriers to international trade.

Overcome the pain of opening an overseas account

Talk to any entrepreneur who has tried to open a local bank account overseas and the story is much the same; it’s at best slow and frustrating and at its worst, impossible. The latter is especially true in the US where you will often be required to have a physical presence in the country first, which itself can be problematic without a bank account.

Of course you could ask your business bank to open a euro or US dollar account for you, but more than likely the account will still be based here in the UK and there may be a charge for your customers to pay into it (and possibly for you to pay out too). It’s a foreign currency account, yes, but it’s not local.

At last, you can do business like a local

With World Account, you can open multiple locally-based, local currency accounts quickly and for free. Open a World Account today, and you could have sole-use of your own in-country euro, US dollar, Canadian dollar or Singapore dollar accounts (complete with unique IBAN and account numbers) tomorrow. No extensive forms, no long delays, no opening fees or monthly charges.

With free-to-open locally-based, local currency accounts for businesses from WorldFirst, say hello to international business banking the way it should be.

Earthmoving and Excavation

30 January 2013

The new Doosan large excavators offer increased performance

First publishedbauma
[ Zoom ]
Doosan DX420LC - 3 Bauma 2013 Preview
The Doosan DX420LC-3 excavator is Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Interim compliant
Weighing in at 42-43.3tonnes depending on specification, the new Doosan DX420LC-3 excavator is Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Interim compliant and offers significant benefits over the model it replaces. Improvements include an increase in power, boosting overall productivity and the machine can be used in heavy-duty applications such as earthmoving, demolition and quarrying.

Power comes from an Isuzu AL-6UZ1X diesel engine that features exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) after-treatment and delivers 19% more power at 270kW and a 6% increase in torque over the engine in the previous machine from the firm in this size class. A new travel device in the DX420LC-3 excavator contributes to an increase in drawbar pull by 10%, a 5% increase in swing torque and a 10% increase in the travel speed. Improved hydraulic pumps and valves have increased main pump flow by 6%, providing a combination of higher overall pressures and hydraulic flow for increased comfort, travelling performance, smoothness, power and improved attachment work.

Increased operator comfort is claimed for the ROPS and OPG certified cab, which ash 6% more space and features a high quality colour screen on its control console. All functions can be controlled both from the instrument panel. As a standard feature, the operator has access to a new attachment select and setting function, with multiple recordable preset values. Lighting capability has been increased by 100% to facilitate working at night while a side camera is available as an option.

The machine has been beefed up to further boost longevity, with the extra steel increasing overall weight by 1tonne and this also includes a counterweight that weighs 8.2tonnes instead of the previous 8tonnes, maximising stability. A heavy-duty undercarriage is fitted and the service life of the machine has been extended.

Options including a narrow 3m wide undercarriage and a two-mode floating boom system, as well as dual pump flow for high flow attachments, a 6.7m long heavy-duty boom and a 3.25m heavy-duty arm.

Twopots Design Studio - M32 Natural

"M32 Natural is a very young company, specifically its birth was in January 2015.

M32 is characterized by using totally natural products, most of them coming from the organic farming. It is a company totally committed to the environment, but as a young business and entrepreneurial does not want to fall into the classic design of the “eco”. We opt for fashion, the current design, because natural things and design do not have to be mutually exclusive."

"This collection in particular bears the name of Just Breathe, since the products are scented with very relaxing vanilla aroma to create a Spa experience to the consumer. The other ingredients are the Argan Oil and Cinnamon. From the mixture of these two ingredients and the vanilla arose the idea of the “stain” on the label, an ochre orange that reminds us also of a sun that transports us to open air and gives us the energy we need every day.

We chose simple containers as they are low polluting, and this way we can continue with the philosophy of the company of respecting the environment and helping it be sustainable."

The Visionary Eye of Allan Stone

Allan Stone; Allan Stone Gallery, New York, c. 1975. Images courtesy of the Allan Stone Collection

Founded in 1960 by art dealer Allan Stone (1932–2006), the New York gallery known today as Allan Stone Projects has been admired for over half a century. Celebrated for its eclectic approach and early advocacy of pivotal artists of the 20th century, Allan Stone Gallery was a leading authority on Abstract Expressionism, the New York dealer for Wayne Thiebaud for over forty years, and showed the works of Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Arshile Gorky, Joseph Cornell, John Graham and John Chamberlain. Stone also promoted and collected the work of a younger generation of artists whose aesthetic tendencies were in conversation with the historical holdings in his collection. In addition to modern masterworks and contemporary art, Allan Stone also collected and exhibited international folk art, Americana and important decorative arts and industrial design.

Robert S. Neuman 1926–2015

Robert S. Neuman was born in Kellogg, Idaho, in 1926. After an honorable discharge from the Air Force in 1946, he received his BA in 1949 and his MFA in 1951, both from the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland. He moved from the Bay Area to the East Coast in 1957 where he began teaching art at SUNY New Paltz, then at Massachusetts College of Art, Brown University, and Harvard University’s Carpenter Center for Visual Arts. He received a Fulbright Fellowship for Painting in 1953 and the John S. Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in 1956. He has been the subject of countless exhibitions, including five solo shows in 2013. Neuman’s work has been on view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. His work is included in public collections including the Carnegie Museum of Art, Yale University Art Gallery, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University. He died in June 2015.

During the 1950s, Neuman painted in an Abstract Expressionist style, incorporating the stylistic signifiers of the Bay Area School such as broad surface treatments, a full color palette, and atmospheric light. In the 1960s, Neuman's art evolved into geometric abstraction, fusing form and content that often verged on symbolism. He produced various bodies of works such as the Kandinsky-esque cosmos paintings of the 1970s and the complex allegories of the 1980s. Most recently he became interested in honoring the bygone landscape of Native Americans. Like his original Bay Area peers, Neuman was able to bridge his passion for pigment with abstraction, landscape, and most importantly, application of color.

TESTING TIMES - a Saturday "theme" poem

Those who feel continually stressed

About their fate to be second best

Should heed the tale of young Horace Hurst

Driven by the desire always to be first.

Horace, an apprentice, considered his place

Ahead of the rest in any sort of race,

A volunteer through and through

As those about him certainly knew.

In truth, when all was said and done

He had a reputation second to none.

So, when his master called him nigh

Saying "I've got something new for you to try"

Eager Horace saw it as a feather in his cap -

Always a pushy obliging young chap.

His master added, with a smile benign

"I'd like you to test my latest design"

Well, before you could say "lickety-spit"

Young Horace had put himself first for it.

Led like a trusting rat to a trap

Almost immediately he heard a sharp clap.

Down he descended, no time even to yell

There was no doubt - the new trap worked well.

His master - the hangman - with a barely suppressed snort,

Murmured "Being first can sometimes be fraught!"

But whatever his failings, Horace wasn't a complete dope,

He had wisely decided against testing the rope!

Don - Boris is in a class of his own. With a name like that, he probably was!!
KJ - the old army adage rings true. Like the old command "One pace
to the front - march". But there can be a positive use for the action -
or many charities would be feeling the pinch.
JC - glad you chose to spend a penny here!
Many thanks - one and all.

Not wishing to undercut
The cleverness of Horace
All I can think off
Is self-hanging Boris

Who wasn't as smart
But wanted to be first
The trouble is his ego
It finally burst

But the problem I have
I have no real clue
If what I am saying
Is actually true?

It's just poor old Boris
Did happen to rhyme
With MC's young Horace
Which gave me fun time 😎

Nighttime Epiphany
As darkness enters its nether world, as daylight gives up the ghost
Hands entwine as though they're hurled, grasping and gasping most
Fingers caress as purchased right, for airs become created
Night fights day, day fights night, though both are in truth elated

Artful ambiance fettered through, as both take time's return
Craving each one's melted hew, though awaiting each to burn
For in each manna brought to bear, where one is in command
Exists that seeking that so rare, bringing the other in demand

Close to darkness when it rears, eclipsing all what waits
Sliding faithfully in slow built tears, slowly closing all the gates
Eyes now stand faithfully slow, erasing what was passed
Building on this nighttime show, hoping it will last

Love it or loathe it, daylight savings is going to be here again before we know it!

If you live in New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria, ACT or Tasmania then make sure you mark down this date on your calendar: October 7

On Sunday morning at 2am our clocks will go FORWARD one hour.

While we miss out on a Sunday sleep in, it’ll mean we’ll have more time at the end of the day (unless you like going to bed REALLY early!)

Of course for Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia who don’t have daylight savings (because they’re worried the extra sunshine will fade the curtains!) it’s business as usual.

If you aren’t a fan of the extra hour and will be counting down until it finishes, you will have to wait exactly six months on April 7 to put your clocks back.

New Delhi's Reform Duo

Singh and his finance minister have raised growth expectations.

Manmohan Singh can lay claim to the title of "reformer" again. After India's Prime Minister announced reforms in retail and aviation alongside fuel-subsidy cuts this month, the opposition declared a nationwide shutdown. The Congress Party's unruly ally, West Bengal politician Mamata Banerjee, threatened to exit the coalition—and then made good on that threat. Yet Mr. Singh held steady. The reforms are now law.

Mr. Singh even took to prime-time television last Friday to explain his moves, the first "address to...

Renault Chairman Defends Attempt to Merge With Fiat Chrysler

Dominique Senard says benefits from proposed deal were ‘very evident’

PARIS—Renault SA’s chairman defended his attempt to merge the French auto maker with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, criticized the French government for not backing it and said talks were pursued in the first place at the suggestion of the country’s finance minister.

The revelation of the French government’s early involvement in the deal is the latest twist in an already convoluted multiplayer standoff involving the two European auto makers, Renault’s Japanese partner Nissan Motor Co. and the governments of France and Japan....

Accenture Resolves Incidents Faster

Accenture Managing Director Karen Odegaard is responsible for service operations, strategy, and platforms for client engagements in the internal IT organization. In this video, she discusses how Accenture resolves incidents faster with xMatters. Accenture recommends xMatters as the best-in-class incident management solution to identify, prevent, and resolve IT issues and maintain uptime.

She explains that while most organizations create process, Accenture is able to govern it better. However, Accenture is a Fortune Global 500 firm and operates at a massive scale. So Accenture provides xMatters as a service and also ServiceNow as a service. Odegaard explains that by rationalizing all the teams to smaller tool sets,  Accenture resolves incidents faster by controlling more of the process to produce better outcomes.

Resolving incidents faster with xMatters
Here’s the fundamental fact: Accenture resolves incidents much more quickly where they are using xMatters than they do in every other area. That, says Odegaard, is what’s going to continue to make Accenture competitive. It also gives her company a great use case to measure against when Accenture is innovating for their clients, which is why Accenture recommends xMatters for incident management.

Accenture is a global management consulting and professional services firm that provides strategy, consulting, digital, technology and operations services. A Fortune Global 500 company, it has been incorporated in Dublin, Ireland, since September 2009.

Accenture solves its clients’ toughest challenges by providing unmatched services in strategy, consulting, digital, technology, and operations. Accenture partners with more than three-quarters of the Fortune Global 500, driving innovation to improve the way the world works and lives. With expertise across more than 40 industries and all business functions, Accenture delivers transformational outcomes for a demanding new digital world.

10 genius ways to help with becoming debt free

With the level of consumer debt in the UK, I thought a post to help with becoming debt free would be useful.  As at September 2018, the average household has nearly £16,000 in debts, not including a mortgage. While many people may feel that they can service these debts at present, it is a worry for the future.

“Individuals are juggling finances to get by, which is an early warning sign of impending financial difficulty. About 15 million households are showing one or more signs of actual financial distress…making minimum payments on their cards, being hit regularly by overdraft charges, using credit to get to the end of the month and pay for essentials.”
-Peter Tutton, StepChange Debt Charity

debit card_debt free

Credit nightmare

You may have heard me say before, but I will say it again. Minimum payments on credit cards are the work of the devil! If you have £2500 on a credit card, and don’t spend any more on it, paying the minimum payment only, will take you around 26 years to pay it off!

I am not kidding – check it out for yourself.

On a card with a typical APR it will also cost you £3444 in interest over that period. Now I don’t know about you, but that seems like a whole load of money to be throwing away.

Be interested

Another worry is the interest rates.  They have been the lowest they have been in years,  and have been that way for a while. However, there is economic turmoil and turbulence around the corner with the worldwide political situation.  Inflation is also having an impact on the money we have available to spend, with living costs rising and no wage rises.

What happens if the interest rates do go up?  What happens when the cost of living increases?  Will you still be able to pay your mortgage and service your debts then?

This handy calculator will let you see what a difference an increase in the interest rate could make to your debts.

guide to becoming debt free

If you feel that you are struggling with debt, then you might find my Practical Guide to Becoming Debt-free useful.

Help with becoming debt free

For me, the solution is getting your debts paid off as quickly as possible, if they are costing you money. i.e: if you are paying more in interest than you are making. There are certain exceptions, where people are borrowing money at a low rate, investing it and making money from that investment. That’s good thinking, so don’t be put off that strategy, if you are keeping an eye to the future interest rate rises, and how they might affect the interest on your borrowing.

becoming debt free

For most people though, with debts on credit cards, this debt is costing you, both in financial terms and often also in emotional terms. The strain on a family with worrying debts is colossal, and taking that first step to dealing with them is often enough to remove a great deal of the strain.

Don’t waste one second worrying about how you got into this situation.  Instead let’s focus on getting out of it. The following are great ideas for help with becoming debt free

Set a lofty goal

Work out how much debt you have (I know it’s scary, but don’t think too much about the total figure. It’s just numbers!) Then set yourself a goal for getting this paid off.  Don’t make it a crappy little goal that means you pay 10 quid a month for the next 20 years.

Make it a big goal.

A fecking massive goal!

One that excites you to think about.

At this point forget about HOW you are going to make it happen and just focus on how you will feel WHEN it’s paid off. Now work out how much you need to pay towards your debt each month to achieve your goal. Again, don’t worry about how you are going to find the money – we will come to that.

I hope that your goal seems a little (or a lot) scary and a bit impossible. That’s good!

Now get yourself a visual reminder of this goal. A chart on the wall, an app on your phone, or a jar that you can fill with sand as you progress. WHATEVER you want, but get a visual reminder, because it will help to keep your focused and motivated.

Join an online community

If you do this, you will get the support of others who are in a similar position to yourself. Find the courage to post, even if you do it anonymously, and be honest about your situation and your goal. Publicly declaring it means that you are much more likely to achieve it.

Pop along and join my women’s only Your Money Sorted group, where I offer regular free challenges, which will help to speed up your journey.

Get your friends on board. I don’t mean asking them to give you the money to pay off your debts. Be brave and tell them about your situation. You may even find that many of them are in the same boat.

Explain to them that you have a goal to pay off your debts and that you may need to make some sacrifices in the next wee while. No exchanging of expensive gifts, no weekends away and no expensive meals out. Explain that you might not be able to go out as often, and ask for their support with this. If they are friends worth having, they will support you totally and be willing to rearrange outings to suit you. Rather than an expensive meal and a night on the town, a pot of pasta and a couple of bottles of booze at your house will allow you to still enjoy each other’s company, without comprising your debt free goal.

Switch to 0% cards and start snowballing

Switch as much of the debt as you can to 0% cards, though check out this information to work out the cheapest way of doing this. Depending on the fees for switching, and the length of time you wish to pay it back over, you could be cheaper staying on a credit card with a low interest rate.  Please use a soft search to check which cards you have the highest chance of being accepted for, otherwise you could find applying for multiple cards, could affect your credit score badly.

Start snowballing your debts!  This simply requires you to gather details of all your debts – total owed to each lender, interest rates, minimum payment requirements, and how much you can pay towards your debt each month.  Once you have that information, simply enter it all into this debt snowball calculator, and see what it suggests.

Why is it called a snowball?  Because, like a snowball going downhill, it gets bigger and gathers momentum, until it is hurtling along at breakneck speed.  Once you get started snowballing your debts, you will find that excitement and success will lead you to paying it off more quickly than you imagine.

Use your talents

I am not suggesting that you need to take to the streets and busk or go and strut your stuff in the nearest strip joint (though I have heard the pay is pretty good, so if you fancy it……), but I know that you have talents that you could sell.

create a talent

Could you make some extra cash by tutoring children, teaching music lessons or taking kids for swimming lessons? Do you have web design, secretarial skills, proofreading or a million other talents that you could sell on Fiverr?

Do you love ironing or clearing? Could you offer your services for these types of jobs?

Do you have a creative talent such as art, photography or card making where you could sell your items on Etsy, Facebook or Pinterest?

Start thinking of what you could do that fits in with your current lifestyle, and would help you to bring in more money.

This is one of my suggestions that comes up repeatedly. You might think this is purely as a money-making idea, but it isn’t. Decluttering is amazing for making you feel energetic, positive, and enthusiastic. It also really helps you to create space in your life to being more good things into it. A bonus, of course, is that you can sell much of the clutter and bring in some extra money to put towards your debts.  Using eBay and Facebook marketplace, are two of the easiest ways to sell unwanted goods.

Use your home

Can you make money from your house? What about renting out a room or your garage or even your driveway? Do you have a large garden where you could rent out areas for allotments?

Could you make money from holiday makers by renting out your house through Air BnB? Being even more radical, could you move in with family for a period and rent out your house on a longer-term lease?

bike_field_cutting costs

Transport costs

Could you cut down dramatically on your transport costs by walking or cycling? A daily commute of 5 miles each way, done on a bike rather than by car, is estimated to save over £1100 per year, even after buying a £400 bike. That’s nearly £100 a month. Another bonus is that you will burn an extra 600 calories each day, meaning that you could cut down on weekly slimming classes or gym memberships. Either that or you could eat more chocolate or drink more wine 😊

List it!

If you employ this tactic throughout the time that you are paying off debt, and continue afterwards, you could save yourself £1000’s of pounds over your lifetime.

Research shows that impulse purchases account for a staggering £2000 per person, per year in the UK. That’s a lot of money getting wasted right there, isn’t it? The solution is simple. Always shop with a list. This means that you think about what you need before you leave the house and you get into the habit of only buying what is on your list.

Recommend Plum and Chip

This suggestion is one that will help you to put money into a savings account each month, which you might think is not for you if you are in debt.  However, don’t dismiss it too quickly, as it can help you to spend less and get your debt paid off more quickly

If you want to help yourself, and others, to save then Plum and Chip are worth investigating. These are both new kids on the block in the finance world and they bring a new and exciting element to saving money. Both are connected to your bank securely and they analyse your spending and every few days will transfer a small amount of money into your Plum or Chip savings account.

Plum works via Facebook messenger and will message you to tell you that they are transferring money into your savings. If you wish to transfer money back into your current account, you simply send a Facebook message saying “withdraw” and Plum will sort it out for you.

Chip works in a similar way, but has its own app which messages you to tell you that they are about to transfer money. You then have the option to cancel the transfer, or just let it go through.

Plum and/or Chip could be a powerful friend on your journey to becoming debt free.  Both will help to save small amounts all month, which can then be transferred into paying off debts.

Some extra income

As well as making saving fun and easy, Plum and Chip will reward you to refer other people, making you more money to pay off debt. The referral fees are generous, with Plum paying £25 for every 3 people you refer and Chip giving you 1% interest (up to 5%)  on your savings for every person you refer. If you want to give me 1% interest, then please sign up by using the code JNLTLF.

Angel Card of the Week - June 30, 2014

The Angel Card of the Week Angel Tarot Cards The DREAMER 0 - Archangel Metatron This is a first for me. In all the years I have read angel cards, I have NEVER received the same card in the exact same position. Angel Card -O The Dreamer Picking a duplicate of an Angel Card was a bit amazing, I will admit. So, here is what I received regarding this amazing coincidence. 1) There ARE no coincidences 2) There have been a few disturbances "n the force" affecting my life personally, perhaps this extends into the lives of others as well. 3) When incidents occur that shake your faith, many people, myself included "assume" we have done something wrong, that we are being punished, or we are no longer guarded, guided and protected by our angels. 4) NOTHING can be further from the TRUTH! 5) REJOICE - For you and I are STILL on the path of the dreamer! We are being guided, guarded and protected. My angels have a great sense of humor. After a week of gloom and doom, they gave me the card of the spiritual seeker AGAIN. GET back to work! You are needed, right here and right now! Thanks for reading the angel card of the week. Here is the original link from 2 weeks ago (or just check out the sidebar)!

Does Facebook make you feel fat?

Facebook reportedly influences how users feel about their body and weight. Would you admit it if you're one of these users? Let me know in the poll: Does Facebook make you feel fat?

Last night I wrote about how Facebook makes users on the social network feel more conscious of their body and weight. The findings come from an online survey conducted by The Center for Eating Disorders at Sheppard Pratt (TCEDSP). Before you check out the results, I want to ask you: does Facebook make you feel fat?

[poll id="6"]

Now that you have voted, you can check out the results: here.

For those that answered yes, TCEDSP gives the following suggestions:

  • Recognize the effect that perusing Facebook photos may have on your self-esteem or body image. How often do you publicly or privately criticize your own body? How much time do you spend comparing your body to other people's bodies online? Do your comments on other people's photos regularly focus on weight or appearance? Do you ever get overwhelmed by this? If so, how do you cope?
  • Take a stand against the body negativity and weight obsession within your online communities. Try only posting about or commenting on friends' non-physical accomplishments and successes instead of zeroing in on how they look or what they weigh.
  • If you find yourself unable to escape feelings of jealousy, sadness or comparison while online, consider taking a break from Facebook and logoff. Use the time that you would spend on Facebook to acquire a new hobby, connect with body-positive friends, or engage in other activities that honor your body in a positive way.
  • If you find yourself engaging in disordered eating or dangerous behaviors seek professional help right away.

Facebook shouldn't make you feel fat, but if it does, then at least make sure you handle the issue by working to improve your overall health, not becoming paranoid that you have a problem.

ST-Ericsson replaces CEO

Microchip joint venture promotes current COO, Didier Lamouche, to CEO as it looks to revive business by moving away from manufacturing feature phones to more lucrative smartphones and tablets businesses.

ST-Ericsson will replace its current president and CEO Gilles Delfassy with COO Didier Lamouche starting December as it looks to move away from manufacturing feature phones to smartphones and tablets

According to a company press statement released on Monday, the microchip joint venture between STMicroelectronics and Ericsson announced that Lamouche, who has been with the company since April 2011, will retain his current COO title and take on the CEO role at the same time.

ST-Ericsson is currently in the midst of revamping its product roadmap to shift away from legacy feature phones and toward smartphone and tablet platforms, the company stated. With the leadership change, it enters the stage where it focuses on "proliferating design wins and scaling up and delivering volume" to ensure its portfolio attains sustainable profitability and growth, it added.

In a separate Reuters article published on Monday, ST-Ericsson was reported as never having made a quarterly profit and has been cutting costs since its establishment in 2009. It had been a key supplier for Nokia's Symbian platform but was hit hard when the handset maker switched to Microsoft's Windows Phone platform and it could not secure enough new deals to compensate for the loss of business, it stated.

A press release by ST-Ericsson issued in early November reiterated that the company will remain a key partner for Nokia for the Windows Phone platform, though.

"Anatomy Of A Fusion Smear": WSJ Exposes Dirty Tactics Of "Steele Dossier" Firm

The Wall Street Journal editorial board has thrown one of their former journalists, Glenn Simpson, completely under the bus over his firm's political hit-jobs for hire - including feeding twice-demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr damaging "misinformationin the Trump-Russia investigation.

Now we’re learning how this misinformation got around, and the evidence points to Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS, the outfit that financed the infamous Steele dossier. -WSJ

Via the WSJ Editorial Board

Anatomy of a Fusion Smear

Democrats and their media friends made false claims about a lawyer.

Cleta Mitchell is a top campaign-finance lawyer in Washington, D.C. This year she’s also been the target of a political and media smear that reveals some of the nastiness at work in the allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Cleta Mitchell, a partner at Foley & Lardner in Washington, D.C., Feb. 6, 2014. PHOTO: PABLO MARTINEZ MONSIVAIS/ASSOCIATED PRESS

A partner at Foley & Lardner, Ms. Mitchell was astonished to find herself dragged into the Russia investigation on March 13 when Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee issued an interim report. They wrote that they still wanted to interview “key witnesses,” including Ms. Mitchell, who they claimed was “involved in or may have knowledge of third-party political outreach from the Kremlin to the Trump campaign, including persons linked to the National Rifle Association (NRA).”

Two days later the McClatchy news service published a story with the headline “NRA lawyer expressed concerns about group’s Russia ties, investigators told.” The story cited two anonymous sources claiming Congress was investigating Ms. Mitchell’s worries that the NRA had been “channeling Russia funds into the 2016 elections to help Donald Trump.”

Ms. Mitchell says none of this is true. She hadn’t done legal work for the NRA in at least a decade, had zero contact with it in 2016, and had spoken to no one about its actions. She says she told this to McClatchy, which published the story anyway.

Now we’re learning how this misinformation got around, and the evidence points to Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS, the outfit that financed the infamous Steele dossier. New documents provided to Congress show that Mr. Simpson, a Fusion co-founder, was feeding information to Justice Department official Bruce Ohr. In an interview with House investigators this week, Mr. Ohr confirmed he had known Mr. Simpson for some time, and passed at least some of his information along to the FBI.

In handwritten notes dated Dec. 10, 2016 that the Department of Justice provided to Congress and were transcribed for us by a source, Mr. Ohr discusses allegations that Mr. Simpson made to him in a conversation. The notes read: “A Russian senator (& mobster) . . . [our ellipsis] may have been involved in funneling Russian money to the NRA to use in the campaign. An NRA lawyer named Cleta Mitchell found out about the money pipeline and was very upset, but the election was over.”

A spokesman for Adam Schiff, ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, says the “Minority did not speak with Mr. Simpson or Fusion GPS about this,” though he declined to disclose who named Ms. Mitchell. Our sources say they can’t remember Ms. Mitchell coming up in any of the documents collected or witness interviews conducted for the investigation. So how did Mr. Schiff get his tip? Fusion’s media friends? Mr. Ohr? The FBI? Fusion GPS and Mr. Simpson did not answer a request for comment.

Ms. Mitchell says the fallout for her goes beyond inconvenience and a false allegation. Mr. Schiff’s team in May sent her a letter demanding testimony and documents, though no one in Mr. Schiff’s office alerted her before naming her in an official document.

She received similar demands from Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr, who wanted Ms. Mitchell to turn over records related to “the transfer of money, or anything of value” between her and several Russians. After Ms. Mitchell in May responded that she had no information related to any of those Russians and accused the committee of being duped by “Glenn Simpson & Co.,” she heard nothing more.

But social media attacks on her haven’t ended. “That allegation impugns my ethical integrity and professional reputation,” she says, one reason she’s calling for Mr. Simpson to be prosecuted for lying to a federal official.

The Russian collusion accusations ginned up by Fusion at the behest of a law firm working for the Clinton campaign haven’t been corroborated despite two years of investigations. But no one should forget the smears that they and their media mouthpieces peddled along the way.

Tools Every Project Manager Should Use

Group working together
Maddie Presland
Maddie Presland

So you just became a Digital Project Manager. You’re starting to venture into your own projects while testing and trying different methods of working with your team and clients. Part of the art of PM-ing is trial and error, but try to start out with a structure that works well for you and your team right off the bat. Here are a few resources to help you get started.

Come up with your own PM Commend-ments

Come up with a positive list of lighthearted rules that you want to abide by as a PM, or a mantra that reminds you of what you set out to do with each and every client. It’s important to set the bar for yourself in your work and to hold yourself to a certain standard. Here are a few of my commend-ments:

  • Thou shalt clean thy Dropbox folders and desktop on a regular basis.
  • Thou shalt always read emails out loud before sending.
  • Thou shalt color code spreadsheets with a color palette that doesn’t blind anyone.
  • Thou shalt have someone else proofread emails if thou is frustrated while writing said emails.
  • Thou shalt never forget to cc everyone who needs to be cc’d on correspondence.
  • Thou shalt be a good communicator for all clients.
  • Thou shalt always send timely project status reports when asked.
  • Thou shalt be transparent about information, even when it isn’t fun.

Whether you want to write these down, put them as your desktop background, put them on the wall of your office, or get them tattooed, it’s important to have a list of reminders to help you uphold your own best practices.

There’s a template for everything

Structured and streamlined information is the first step to being an organization wizard. Come up with your own templates that you’ll actually use to store client information, format meeting notes, and easily whip up project updates.

All of these can live in PDF format so you can edit and save, or you can use Google Drive so that everyone on your team can use and edit them as you go along.

Here’s an example of the information sheet we fill out for new clients, including which tools they use and some notes on preferred communication.

Zivtech Client Info

We encourage our clients to use the tools that we use and love, but can obviously work around them to accommodate their preferences. LastPass is our preferred resource for credential sharing, and we like to encourage our clients to use their project’s Jira board to keep an eye on tickets and overall project progress. Creating your own templates and streamlining them for company use can also help.

There’s a spreadsheet for everything

If there’s one thing project managers love, it’s spreadsheets. I stayed as far away from Excel and Google Sheets as I possibly could for a very long time. Now, it’s an integral part of structuring workflows and information sharing.

As a PM team, we work to improve these on a regular basis. We use Google Sheets to keep track of our invoicing progress at the beginning of every month, to allocate our team on a weekly basis, and to create prospective budgets.

If you don’t go into the position loving a good color coded, conditionally formatted sheet, it’s the perfect time to learn. Embrace how well this will keep you organized. Take a look at a plethora of basic formatting instructions, make your data much more visually appealing, and get crazy with custom functions.

Get savvy with your project management software

Task management software is extremely useful in helping technical teams work more efficiently. However, it is not intuitive for every user. Seeking out documentation sources is a great way to learn in order to go above and beyond the day-to-day basics.

There are some tools and tricks you may not need to use in your own projects, but exploration is part of the fun. Look at the documentation written by the software company itself, and then seek more resources on how project managers utilize them successfully. These can be blog posts, online tutorials, or recorded talks from conferences. Don’t be afraid to geek out a little bit here.

Speaking of documentation…

Let’s face it: not all companies have documentation experts available to write documentation on every aspect of a project. However, prioritizing some basic documentation for both you and your client is beneficial for everyone.

The Zivtech PM team is working on making a master Drupal documentation template so that we can add specific site functions to a documentation guide that already has a solid foundation. Learning how to write basic documentation for your client and users will save immense time and resources in the long run. And if there’s a shift in your team structure, onboarding new PMs and developers will be much faster if there’s a master guide on functionality, users, and what makes this site unique.

Saying that you don’t have enough resources for documentation is a way of looking at the problem with a narrow perspective. Writing documentation throughout the different phases of the project and saving the visuals for the end will help save time in the long run. You might even discover new things about the site, or find bugs that need to be fixed before launch. Clients are always happy to receive more guidance on how to use their new site. They can share these resources with their users and those who will manage the project once your role is finished. Sharing documentation shows that you care about the project and its long-term success.

Looking for resources outside of your own team can be more helpful than you might think. Finding out how other PMs at similar companies use their resources or run their teams can help you bring new ideas to your team. Although structure is important with all aspects of project management, flexibility is also essential to make sure communication is happening and spirits are high.

Look for project management meetup groups that are hosting events near you, join your local chapter of Girl Develop It to find out about classes and events, or join a Slack channel to network with other PMs near and far. Some events and classes have cost barriers associated, but there are plenty of free resources out there available to you. Go forth and conquer.
