Well we have officially passed our first month of being open. We are starting to feel we are getting the hang of things (starting) and are now hardly ever making a mess of our stock orders (hardly), like mysteriously receiving several copies of things we don't even remember ordering and suddenly having zero books in stock of our bestselling authors. Duh. Anyway, we did plan to open rather quietly so we could practise our novel bookselling skills on just a few unsuspecting people, who have been very wonderful and kind and patient as we look goggle eyed at the till and realise we have no Philip Pullmans. Duh again. However, now we have actually started getting complaints from people for not making greater effort to let people know we are here, we have taken steps. Our first step came in the form of a local journalist, who came along today with her mum, who bought some books and settled down in our fabulous Penguin "The Garden Party" deckchair (in our window) and said it was so comfortable she fell asleep. We expect sales to rocket, and may hire her to sit there full time. Our friendly local journalist listened very charmingly as we went on, literally, for hours, about how totally wonderful it is to open a bookshop. There is always a point when talking to anyone with a tape recorder where you suddenly wonder what on earth you just said and knowing it's going to sound pretty stupid. And there is definitely a danger when we talk about the bookshop that we do sound like a couple of overexcited schoolchildren who are just having the best time in the world. So apologies and thanks for this morning. We were lucky that the lady who came to interview us shares an equal enthusiasm for books and had some great contacts. We really hope to approach some of the lesser known local authors to head up our events list. (Local authors beware - we know who you are.) Our first event, as mentioned previously, will take place next Thursday and is partly an official opening and mostly a thank you to all those wonderful people who have stepped into our shop and made the whole experience come alive for us. We are hoping for a good turn out and good weather so we can make the most of our courtyard garden. We have also invited our local MP - Dr Evan Harris - who was at the local Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting yesterday morning. After the event finished, he came up to the shop and bought/ordered some books (I promised to make it clear they were presents for his long-suffering researchers and assistants!). We were really honoured. Evan is a genuinely nice guy, and an MP who is very well-respected both locally and within Westminster. He also has an excellent taste in books I'm bound to add. (I have, incidentally, been mistaken for him twice. Both times were in B&Q in Abingdon bizarrely. Perhaps it's the lighting?) And then somebody else suggested today that we invite the Mayor, which we then did (we'll find out next week if he's coming, but with six days we can't blame him if he can't make it). So all in one day we seem to have expanded from opening in a very quiet way to being interviewed by the press and having the possibility of having both the local MP and the mayor at our opening do. Which is all rather good news as we did have some bad news the week. It was a bit of a bombshell actually - apparently a group from Waterstones was in Abingdon a few weeks ago investigating the feasibility of opening a bookshop . . .
As to the possibility that your opening is being used by Waterstones as a research vehicle to assess market demand for their own bookstore in Abington: yes. You've been conducting market research on their behalf.
You should tell your newfound political contact that you would like to secure your survivability in case of corporate competition by buying a building. You should request assistance in researching the real estate market. Because you've just opened this is probably the very very very last thing on your minds. But in fact this exact moment may be the best time to be thinking about buying a building with storefront. You surely don't have enough money to make a downpayment on a commercial building, but don't worry about this. Ask the politico for advice and help. Remember that bookstores increase the real estate values for neighborhoods that surround them. So it may be possible with some help forming contacts among local real estate investors for some sort of consortium to form around you that would invest in or lend to you in your efforts. You've invested very little, relatively speaking, in your current buildout. So you could move without too much financial turmoil, if your newfound customer base is engaged in assisting you.
My book was published by a bookstore/publishing firm that I helped to launch, in Brooklyn. The company had no cash at the time we needed to pay the printer to print my book. A customer at the store, who is turned out to be a Brooklyn real estate investor and who had become a regular customer fronted the money to print my book! In exchange he owns a small part of the company. In other words, the customers you have been serving for the past month include people who have assorted levels of disposable assets -- some of these people may be viable investors for you.
Waterstones is definitely out for blood. I competed with them in Chicago: they opened a store a few miles from my store in 1991 and had an immediate impact on sales. If you shore up your position by becoming not just a bookstore, but an investor in local real estate, then when they come to town, and drive up the property values, you'll be making money off of THEM.
The best defense is a good offense. Start telling everyone that Waterstones is possibly coming to town and you want their advice for how to survive. You may be able to innoculate your customer-base to the all-too-common tendency among indie-bookstore lovers to destroy their favorite indie bookstores by randomly, passively beginning to give their business to chains, in a completely unconscious casual manner.
Do you think I could get Ken Livingstone down to our next poetry night?
Good luck guys! Indy Booksellers of the world unite and all that.
Waterstones! I spit in their general direction. The bane of every small publisher under the sun ... I'll stop there before I get libellous. Anyway, I honestly can't imagine where a Waterstones would go in Abingdon. Fingers crossed, and see you on Thursday.
There is no way the likes of Waterstones can compete with you on charm or friendliness - keep on doing your thing - I predict a bright future!
And it's not just Waterstones who will be watching you.When I first wrote about The Rebel Bookseller it wasn't in stock at Amazon UK. It was a week later. This has happened countless times.
Anyhow, congratulations and welcome to the club, particularly the subsection, husbands and wives who booksell and blog.
I work in Abingdon and had no idea there was a bookshop other than 'The Bookstore' around. I find 'The Bookstore' to be pretty lacking in, well, books! the shelves are always half empty. I tend to get my books online as I hate Oxford and as Abingdon has been, until now, lacking!
You are probably safer now than you would have been when Ottakars was Ottakars. They really were the predators. They opened in countless small market towns where there was already a thriving indie bookshop because they could see it worked - they opened next door or opposite and put the indie out of business within 6 months. Waterstones opened in much lrger places and even now I honestly doubt if they would find Abingdon big enough. But just keep your eye on WHS.. they ae expanding their books very considerably. Make sure you stay very different from them, as I`m sure you will.
P.S. The people who want J Clarkson will buy him in WHS as they ae people who don`t read proper books and would be scared of your shop.. buying a book in WHS is nice and safe and anonymous. | 32934994 |

In this final installment of Hitty Bee’s Holiday Wardrobe, I’ll show you a few small adjustments you can make to create a new look with this pattern, or make a longer bodice for a lower-waisted Hitty like the Original Hitty herself, or dolls made to be very close to her in measurements.
When you begin the blouse, add an extra 1/2 inch to either side of the bodice.
When it’s time to finish the bottom hem of the shirt, iron 1/4 inch of the remaining raw edge on the outside and the lining of the blouse toward the inside, pin in place, and close with a pillow stitch. (Also called a Ladder stitch.) Press the seam with your iron to make it as flat and crisp as possible. The extra fabric layers would make the blouse too thick to wear under a skirt, but it adds a nice flair when worn outside.
Measure the waistline for your individual doll, mark it with a pencil on the lining, and gather. I want this jacket to fit Hitty Bee and my Michael Langton Original Hitty model, so I put the gathers somewhere in between, and test the size of the waistline on both before tying off the thread. Make sure to leave enough room in the waistline so it can slide up a little when Hitty raises her arms.
When it’s time to gather Hitty’s skirt, fit it to her waist under her blouse, rather than over it. You’ll need to put a button and loop set at the waistline of the blouse and the waistline of the skirt this time. You’ll also need one at the neckline, and I like one in between, so there are four total button/loop pairs on this outfit.
We hope you’ve enjoyed Hitty Bee’s Holiday Wardrobe at the Busy Bee Academy! This is our first Free Hitty Sewing Project but it won’t be our last.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our Dear Doll Friends in Hittyland!
Happy Holidays from Hitty Michaela Langton and all the dolls at Busy Bee Academy!

For a Brazilian writer of the 1800s, it is perhaps remarkable how much of Machado de Assis’ work has stayed in print in English. His masterpiece, Epitaph of a Small Winner, appeared in a new edition only a few years ago, and, more recently, a number of his short stories have been made available to download. Of the translations which have fallen out of print, the most difficult to source for a number of years has been The Alienist which originally appeared in 1963 (in the same translation by W. L. Grossman) in The Psychiatrist and Other Stories. Luckily Melville House have re-issued it as part of their ‘Art of the Novella’ series which has so far provided an interesting mix of the renowned and the less well known.
Anyone, he feels, who lacks “equilibrium of the mental faculties” must be insane. As equilibrium is hard to find, the asylum quickly fills up until the townspeople rebel. Bacamarte attempts reversing his definition of madness and imprisoning those who show too much equilibrium, but again he is not satisfied. By this point, you can probably guess where the story is heading.
Despite its age (psychiatry was clearly in its infancy when it was written) de Assis provides an amusing satire on the difficulties in deciding who is sane and who isn’t (and how this power can be abused). He also combines this with a dig at local politics with various groups coalescing for and against the asylum. A blind respect for science (or perhaps simply fame) seems to be another target as Bacamarte is allowed to do much as he pleases simply because he is held in such esteem. Even when he is eventually challenged (by an angry mob – and it doesn’t get much more challenging than that!) he is able to skilfully deflect the blame and carry on as he wishes. De Assis may deliver the tale in a deceptively light tone but this does not prevent it from being both thought-provoking and relevant.

I immediately recall the “extremes” of climate: fat raindrops, puddles, the smell of wet pavement or suffocating, dry heat that melted the blackened gum spots on my sidewalk. I remember pigeons and a stray white rabbit on Temple St. I took it home with me and named it Castoff. The only flora that stands out is the fern-like weed that grew under my apartment building’s stairwell. Oh! And this tall, tall tree that acted as the protector of our front gate. My aunt must have cut it down sometime in the mid-2000s.
There is the Pan-American dance hall at the corner of Rampart and Temple. Diagonal to this is the 24-hour donut shop that easily had its “going out of business” sign posted for seven years. There’s also Amigos liquor and grocery store, a couple of doors away from the hall. That’s where my mom purchased my first pair of sneakers. I was so particular then, I picked pebbles from the shoe grip with a toothpick. And there was the large duplex across the street from our blue apartment building, where a classmate of mine lived. I delighted in seeing her come home from school.
Our music was 106.7 KROQ or the Time Life Christmas Classics—always on repeat by late November.
If Rampart and Temple were a lover, it would be a gentle one.
My mom has these deep scars—ones that are like burrows in her flesh. You might think pieces of her have been removed. She used to wear long skirts to cover a gash on her left ankle. She says it came purely from mischief and a cast-iron wok. Her shame was grafted onto me at an early age. But, instead of preventing wounds, I sought them with valor: each scar, evidence of being badass.
So, she grew up with fruit trees and meadows, a field for palay and multiple kubo. She was an adventurous one: rolling joints out of mango leaves and running away from home just ‘cause. I’d like to think I made the same of my surroundings. Our building was its own cove of linoleum splendor and light blue paint. I was a champ when it came to chalk and inventive, cinematic stories.
Hm. It sounded like she had lot more space than I did.

Sports books stand to lose a bundle if the expansion Vegas Golden Knights, as much as 500-to-1 long shots before the season, win the Stanley Cup against the Capitals.
Once a long shot of up to 500 to 1 to win the Stanley Cup, the Vegas Golden Knights now are just four wins away.
That has Las Vegas buzzing with excitement -- in a good and bad way.
The local fans are thrilled their expansion franchise has made it to the doorstep of a championship in its first season of existence. But the city's sports books are worried about having to pay out huge sums to bettors who took advantage of those long odds.
After wrapping up the Western Conference title, the Golden Knights begin play against the Washington Capitals on Monday night in the Stanley Cup final.
Four more wins and the payouts could be substantial.
The Westgate Superbook could be on the hook for up to $120,000 for a $400 ticket it sold at 300 to 1, spokesman Jay Kornegay told USA TODAY Sports.
He says Westgate accepted 13 tickets on the Golden Knights at 500 to 1 odds, with wagers ranging from $5 to $60.
A number of bettors may have only purchased a Golden Knights ticket to win the Cup as a souvenir, not expecting the scenario could come true in the team's inaugural season.
Oddsmaker Jim Murphy of sportsbettingexperts.com told Forbes.com it could end up being "the biggest futures loss in Las Vegas history."
However, he also says a win for the home team could turn out to be a win for sports books as well. | 190931716 |
The year is 3126AD. Humanity is on the brink of extinction. World War III bombed civilization back to the Dark Ages. Hundreds of years later, new global powers rise from the ashes of a shattered Earth.
Kings of five major nation-states send their armies among the ruins. These kings must act quickly to unite all mankind under a single leader.

Conquer the world in an epic game of battles, strategy, and assassination!
World war IV: One World, One King is a strategy board game for 3-5 players age 14 and up. Play time is 3-6 hours. The game includes a map, rules, dice, and over 400 molded plastic playing pieces.

An electric fence is a powerful perimeter intruder detection system which can be attached to an existing perimeter fence or wall. It provides an extra layer of security within a site’s perimeter as either a free-standing fence or mounted on a pre-existing one. The obvious physical presence of the electric fence with its bright yellow warning signs are visually off-putting to any potential intruder. Together they present a potent front-line deterrent.
With Opticom’s solution, you can manage system-wide security through one management platform. The high-level integration of our security system delivers full configuration, control and monitoring capability for multi-zoned, multi-site perimeter security.

A lot has been written about Russian Doll Caching in Rails 4 but surprisingly little about caching of collections. One of the basic tenets is that you should use “touch: true” on your “belongs_to” relationships in order to update the “updated_at” time on the parent record and thus invalidate its cached copies.
The problem here is that if an item is updated it won’t change the updated_at date on the project_items that are associated with it, nor do we want it to. But we need to invalidate both the main Project cache and the individual Item cache. Simply changing the cache key on the second item to “project_item.item” doesn’t fix this as the Project still won’t be updated.
What is the proper cache key for the outer @project cache?
What is the proper cache key for the inner item cache?
And that mostly works. The problem is that the cache key will simply grow as items are added. What might not be a problem with two or three items gets out of whack with 50 or 100. I’ve seen cache keys that are a block of 10+ lines at 80 characters wide. That’s inefficient.
Now, the question is how best to do this. That’s a little ugly.
With that, it’ll get @project.items.cache_key and the cache will be invalidated if any item is updated. The bonus is that the cache key is made up of only a few items and is much more manageable. It’s also much more readable to humans, both in code and in the cache itself.
That way any update to either the project_item or the item will invalidate the cache. I found a gem that should add the cache_key for associations but it seems to not work with Rails 4. It would be useful for someone to update it as this functionality is even better when the code doesn’t have to be specified each time.
The argument for being non-DRY is that some cache key schemes might be lighter-weight and work for some places. The example here is another table that contains viewing logs for projects. The table is basically write-only, never updated. So I can just look at the record count or maximum id on the joined table to determine the cache key. Etc. | 230710665 |
Volunteer work has taught me to appreciate my own talents and the gifts that I was given.
I was raised in New York City where I saw the homeless shivering from cold every winter. In sixth grade, a teacher offered to bring some students to a homeless shelter after school. I went with my friends and the teacher for several weeks, but when they stopped going together I continued to volunteer. Because I knew how to sew, I was asked to help out with the sewing kit if any guests requested some repairs. Throughout high school I continued to come each week after school, setting up my sewing kit that had now grown quite large. I got to know the guests who came regularly and I also got to know their clothes: the jackets, the shirts, the pants, and the shoes that were given to me with gaping holes and sagging seams.
In high school I started a sewing club with my friend and we taught our fellow students how to sew. We made heart-shaped pillows for sick children and the elderly. In college I continue to volunteer at our fully student run homeless shelter, UNILU.
Volunteer work has taught me to appreciate my own talents and the gifts that I was given. With my own hands as a young girl I had the power to repair someone's coat and keep him warm. Every time it rained I would think about the umbrellas I had sewn and suddenly I would appreciate that I was lucky enough to have a home. In the future I hope to continue helping others as much as I can. It is the most fulfilling and most important thing I have ever done.
This billboard about Volunteering features Shifra Mincer.
She inspired me so much!!!
you inspire me thanks for helping the poor.
This girl, she is wonderful. Our whole class likes her!
I do something like this. Except my family & I give the homeless food. I like seeing their faces & how gratefu they can be.
We need more philanthropists today.
It's a good idea that you started this, it shows the homeless people that you care about them. good job!
nobody thinks about the teacher, and i know that teacher, she is my middle school teacher, and her name is Victoria Ginsberg. She made shifra famous by entering her in chess club!
Shifra Mincer, you're an everyday hero! We need more people like you in the world! Your contribution was nothing like anything else I have heard. Thank-you Shifra Mincer!
She's such a caring person. Who would have ever thought to do that?
That is so sweet to donate clothes.
Serving others is the key to happiness.
Shifra you are one in a million. God bless you always, for being so caring, and for sharing with others.
I like what you're doing, Shifra. You're in good company.
You are an absolute sweetheart - the world needs more young people like you - an inspiration to us all.
A very inspiring piece of art.
I learned that maybe I should start to volunteer to help others. I am so selfish that maybe one day, I too, can grow up to be like Shifra. I am pretty sure that she is living her life quite proud that she was able to help all of those people that she did.
Your story made me want to cry. You are as beautiful as you are amazing. Your story inspires us all.
Life is a song worth singing. So sing loudly.
Shifra, I really appreciate you because you are doing something that many of us can do but don't. Lets remember that this body is not meant to just "smear sandal paste" but it is for the service of fellow human beings.
Awesome how she kept doing it even though she didn`t have to and for so long, even encouraging other students to take part.
It is so neat to see a young woman helping others that don't have a home. Also providing them clothes and blanket to keep the family warm for the winter. This is also a very good example for those who are willing to help homeless around the world. Shifra is a very good example of how she saw a homeless shivering from cold in the winter and made a blanket sewed by hand.
You're an inspiration to many and it was a pleasure to meet you. You have done and will continue to do great things in life. Don't waste your talent.
She does what my mom does!
We have it somewhere in our soul (a genuine drive to reach out) but the pressures of life seem to be stunting it. We can only realize our worth when we break the cuffs and reach out. This is what this billboard is helping people do. The effect lingers in my soul.
THIS IS ESSENCE OF LIFE. IT IS PATHWAY TO DISCOVERING YOUR REAL YOU AND WHAT YOU ARE CONFIGURED TO TO BE AND TO DO.
I love the saying at the end, "Mends more than just clothes." I almost cried , so simple, such a good example though.
It is very nice thing to think of others before yourself. When you do good things, good things will happen.
These are excellent! I would love to see one (or more) in Orlando, FL.
Wow Wow Wow! I am in awe. I now know more than ever what must do. Find way to better serve People and our Planet. Help people any way I can, A smile,a wave, a kind act of generosity. May I assist you?
If nobody ever volunteered, nothing would be done with care and love.
Volunteering in our community is a very precious thing to do and this...this will make it happen.
May you be blessed over-abundantly for the work you do for the homeless. I was one many years ago myself. And it doesn't hurt that you have the most genuine and warm smile I've ever seen on a human being.
Interesting and impressive! Initiatives of Shifra take a her eternally forward. Motivations within a person can be so inspiring and so beautiful! Good example set by Shifra!!
I pass by your billboard everyday in Austin, Texas, and there are so many homeless here, I think that they appreciate you helping others like them, your generosity and goodwill will serve you well in life.
Shows that we can do much more than give just money for the needy.
Such a cute young girl...helping others around the world. | 2706940 |

An agency-wide Performance and Quality Improvement system effectively engages staff, persons served, and other stakeholders in advancing the agency’s mission and achieving strategic goals through continuous, integrated, data-driven efforts to improve service delivery and administrative practice.
identify, implement, and monitor improvement strategies.
Note: See Model PQI Plan - Private, Public, Canadian, Network for assistance with implementing PA-PQI 2.
Each region or site within the agency’s jurisdiction, and each program or service area, are part of the agency’s PQI system and addressed in the PQI plan.
Interpretation: For child and family services agencies, the PQI system must include all the jurisdictions in which the services included in the Child and Family Services Plan are provided.
reflect how the PQI system is evaluated.
Interpretation: For state-administered agencies, regional PQI plans should directly correlate with the agency-wide plan while also being responsive to the region’s specific needs. The regional plan and accompanying procedures explain the structure for carrying out PQI activities in the region, including any region-specific committees, processes, and performance measures. Additionally, if the region contains any unique programs, the regional PQI plan should address the PQI activities and measures for those programs.
Interpretation: Among other things, evaluation of the PQI system should include assessing how well PQI activities align with best practices in measurement including (1) is the agency asking the right performance questions, (2) how well do chosen metrics answer the performance questions being asked, and (3) is the agency accurately measuring change over time.
Interpretation: The agency’s PQI plan, as the guiding document for implementing and refining the PQI system, is distinct from time-sensitive actionable plans that the agency develops to target improvement activities such as the Child and Family Services Review Program Improvement Plans.
Note: See PQI Operational Procedures Worksheet - Private, Public, Canadian for assistance with this standard.
specifies how these stakeholder groups will be involved in the PQI process.
Interpretation: An agency’s "stakeholders" are any institutions or individuals who will be impacted by the agency’s decisions, i.e. they have an interest or "stake" in the agency’s success at achieving its mission or purpose. Stakeholder involvement is fundamental to any well-designed PQI system and is crucial to a public agency’s ability to achieve its mission and elicit public trust. Stakeholders are often thought of in terms of categories or groups of people—sometimes referred to as communities of interest.
academic, learning and research institutions.
Stakeholders should participate in a broad range of activities including involvement in PQI planning activities; activities that gather qualitative data on the experience of receiving services or providing services as a contracted provider; reviewing and interpreting summary data information; and identifying, implementing, and monitoring solutions.
Interpretation: While staff are a common stakeholder category, throughout the PA-PQI standards, staff are intentionally differentiated from other stakeholders in order to highlight their unique involvement in the PQI process.
Note: COA’s Stakeholder Involvement Tip Sheet provides examples of different stakeholder groups often identified by agencies and describes different ways stakeholders can be involved in an agency’s PQI system.
Research Note: Participatory design is an approach that involves stakeholders in the development and structuring of systems to promote system responsiveness to stakeholder needs. By encouraging stakeholders who are involved and/or invested in the day-to-day-work of the agency to participate in the development of the PQI process, agencies can better ensure that the end-product of their efforts have a positive and sustainable impact on persons served.
An effective way to improve stakeholder involvement and foster participatory design is to do an assessment of the agency’s current relationships with its partners and collaborators. Eco –mapping is an effective method of evaluating agency relationships with stakeholders, setting the groundwork for improved participatory design. See PA-AM 5 and PA-AM 6 for more information on effectively engaging stakeholders in the development and structuring of systems.

Lemony lentils are tossed with fresh parsley, mint, ginger, garlic, and feta cheese. Packed with protein and fiber, this dish is made to satisfy! Always rinse and sort lentils before cooking with them. It’s common to find small rocks or debris in dried legumes.
In a large saucepan, bring the broth to a boil. Add the lentils. Reduce the heat and simmer the lentils, covered, for approximately 20 minutes or until just done. When ready, they should have some tooth to them (otherwise known as al dente); they should not be mushy. Drain immediately. Let cool for 10-15 minutes.

FindACase | Wilson v. GEICO Indemnity Co.
Wilson v. GEICO Indemnity Co.
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to Remand and Motion to Stay Briefing on Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment ("Motion to Stay"). Dkt. ## 7, 14. Both motions are opposed. Dkt. ## 12, 18. Having considered the submissions of the parties, the relevant portions of the record, and the applicable law, the Court finds that oral argument is unnecessary. For the reasons that follow, Plaintiffs Motion to Remand is DENIED. Dkt. # 7. Plaintiffs Motion to Stay Briefing on Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED as moot. Dkt. # 14.
On January 23, 2018, Plaintiff Anna Wilson filed this action in King County Superior Court against Defendant Geico Indemnity Company. Dkt. # 1. Plaintiffs Complaint alleges that Defendant is in breach of contract by failing to pay claims made under personal injury protection ("PIP") benefits under an automobile insurance contract. Dkt. #1-1. Plaintiffs Complaint seeks damages for breach of contract, breach of the duty to act in good faith, as well as claims under Washington's Insurance Fair Conduct Act, RCW 48.30.015 ("IFCA") and Consumer Protection Act, RCW 19.86.090 ("CPA"). Id. Defendant then filed a Notice of Removal on February 12, 2018. Dkt. # 1. Defendant filed its Answer on February 28, 2018, but did include any counterclaims. Dkt. # 6.
On March 1, 2018, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Remand this matter to Snohomish County Superior Court. Dkt. # 7. In this Motion, Plaintiff also requested attorney's fees. Id. at 4-5. Defendant opposes. Dkt. # 12.
Plaintiff has moved to remand this action to state court, arguing that Defendant has not adequately established that the amount in controversy exceeds $75, 000. Defendant opposes on multiple grounds.For the reasons stated below, this Court DENIES Plaintiffs Motion to Remand.
Removal is proper where the district court would have original jurisdiction over the state court action. See 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a). Diversity jurisdiction under § 1332(a) grants original jurisdiction to a district court when there is both complete diversity of citizenship and an amount-in-controversy exceeding $75, 000. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a). The party seeking the federal forum bears the burden of establishing that federal jurisdiction is met. Rodriguez v. AT&T Mobility Servs. LLC, 728 F.3d 975, 978 (9th Cir. 2013). Federal courts "strictly construe the removal statute against removal jurisdiction." Gaus v. Miles, 980 F.2d 564, 566 (9th Cir. 1992).
As there is no dispute that complete diversity exists between the parties, Plaintiff seeks remand on the basis that the amount-in-controversy requirement is not satisfied. Where the amount in controversy is not clear from plaintiffs complaint, the burden is on the defendant to establish that the amount-in-controversy meets the jurisdictional threshold by a preponderance of the evidence. Sanchez v. Monumental Life Ins. Co., 102 F.3d 398, 403-04 (9th Cir. 1996). However, in this Circuit, this standard applies only if the state court complaint does not specify the amount sought as damages; if the complaint filed in state court alleges damages in excess of the required federal jurisdictional amount, remand is warranted only if it appears to a "legal certainty" that the claim is actually for less than the jurisdictional minimum. Abrego Abrego v. The Dow Chem. Co., 443 F.3d 676, 683 n.8 (9th Cir. 2006). Although defendants may not merely rely upon their own conclusory statements to establish the amount in controversy, they may use the complaint as evidence, provided that the complaint is "made in good faith," and the plaintiff's recovery of the claim is a legal possibility. Singer v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 116 F.3d 373, 375 (9th Cir. 1997) (internal quotations omitted). Beyond the allegations in the pleadings, the defendant may also present and the Court may consider any additional "summary-judgement-type evidence relevant to the amount in controversy at the time of removal." Kroske v. U.S. Bank Corp., 432 F.3d 976, 980 (9th Cir. 2005), as amended on denial ofreh'g and reh'g en banc (Feb. 13, 2006).
Both parties agree that, as a baseline, Plaintiff requests actual damages under the policy of $37, 783.74. Dkt. ## 1-1, 7, 12. In the Complaint, Plaintiff also specifically requests treble damages under the IFCA and the CPA. See Dkt. # 1-1 at 9, ¶ 4.2 ("By its conduct, GEICO is liable to plaintiff for enhanced damages including, without limitation, treble damages as authorized by RCW 48.30.015 and RCW 19.86.090 and for her reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the prosecution in this action."). The IFCA "creates a private cause of action to a first-party claimant who has been unreasonably denied insurance coverage and provides for treble damages and an attorney fee award." Rain v. Ameriprise Auto & Home Ins. Agency, Inc., No. C14-5088RJB, 2014 WL 1047244, at *3 (W.D. Wash. Mar. 18, 2014); see also RCW 48.30.015(2). As Defendant notes, should the Court apply the Plaintiffs request for treble damages under IFCA to the Plaintiffs requested relief of $37, 783.74, this alone would raise the amount in controversy to $113, 351.22, well above the $75, 000 threshold. Dkt. # 2 at 2. The CPA also permits a treble damage award not to exceed $25, 000. RCW 19.86.090.
Plaintiff argues that the prospect of receiving exemplary damages is too speculative to satisfy defendant's burden of establishing jurisdiction. Dkt. # 7 at 3-4. The Court disagrees. When plaintiffs request treble damages under the IFCA, as Plaintiff has here, this Court trebles the amount alleged to determine the amount in controversy. See, e.g., Nw. Ry Museum v. Indian Harbor Ins. Co., No. C17-1060JLR, 2017 WL 4466619, at *3 (W.D. Wash. Oct. 5, 2017) (denying remand when Plaintiff requested treble damages under IFCA and estimated damages under insurance policy were at a minimum of $25, 000); Lim v. Nat'l Gen, Ins. Co., No. C15-0383RSL, 2015 WL 12025326, at *2 (W.D. Wash. Apr. 30, 2015) (denying remand when plaintiff requested treble damages and actual damages of $50, 000.00); Egal v. Geico General Ins. Co., No. C14-1964RSM, 2015 WL 1632950, at *4 (W.D. Wash. Apr. 13, 2015) (applying the plaintiffs request for treble damages to the plaintiffs requested relief of policy limits of $50, 000 and holding that the amount in controversy exceeded $150, 000); Rain, 2014 WL 1047244, at *3 (denying remand when plaintiffs requested treble damages and defendants showed that plaintiffs' damages would be at least $41, 000.00 before trebling); see also Trujillo v. Allstate Ins. Co., No. C09-1056RSL, 2009 WL 2843348, at *1 (W.D. Wash. Aug. 31, 2009) ("In this case, plaintiffs have explicitly alleged that their damages exceed $31, 000, and they have sought trebling of their damages [under IFCA and CPA]. Those amounts alone exceed $90, 000 and exceed the jurisdictional threshold."). Plaintiffs direct request for an award of treble damages is sufficient to place this enhanced amount of money damages in controversy.
Defendant has met its present burden and established that the amount in controversy exceeds $75, 000. Accordingly, this Court has jurisdiction over this matter, and Plaintiffs Motion to Remand is DENIED. | 58203044 |
Automate the process of sending product images and metadata, in the exact format and delivery method your internal systems and customers require.
For sales and marketing purposes, product images need to be sent to internal systems, like product information management and e-commerce, and external destinations, like customers and resellers. The issue is that each one of these entities has their own unique formatting requirements involving file type, image pixel width and height, dpi, color mode, quality setting, compression, white space border, and file naming convention. Formatting manually is time-consuming, resource-intensive, and error-prone.
With Amplify, a detailed profile of each entity is defined, and when product images are being sent, the system formats the images automatically according to the information in the profile.
Product images are the most important digital assets to drive sales and marketing. The sooner images get to your internal systems and external sales channels, the sooner your business will start to generate sales.
Amplify allows you to create detailed ‘image and data’ profiles for your internal systems and customers. These profiles contain a list of the products the system or customer needs images for, the metadata required, how to format the metadata, and where the images and data should be sent. With these profiles the entire image distribution process is automated.
Amplify uses ‘Image Formatting Profiles’ and ‘Image and Data Distribution Profiles’ to automatically format and deliver assets to customer’s databases when new products are added or existing products are updated. The ‘net change’ approach makes the formatting and distribution process very efficient.
Amplify makes sharing assets easy and convenient by giving digital asset managers the ability to gather and deliver assets in the appropriate format through a convenient email link. Email recipients gain one-click access to all the files in the format desired without needing an Amplify account.
With Amplify, digital asset managers can share links to ‘formatted’ assets with colleagues, departments, internal systems, and partners. These assets are first formatted to the specifications of the entity that needs access and then links are generated. These links may be used to display assets on e-commerce, product information, and sales platforms; allowing recipients to leverage Amplify’s hosted infrastructure and save on storage and bandwidth costs.
Amplify’s robust API can be used to expand its reach and integrate into any system integral to your business. | 177623487 |

Light straw-green, good mousse; pleasantly fruity, with a dry finish; not complex, and will be at its best over the next year or so.
I prefer the slightly more delicate and lighter style of this vintage to the previous fruitier expression. Floral chardonnay characters with a creamy yeasty character. The palate has a lovely mouse with a fine bead and a delicate long finish. Promising development for Karribindi. | 54080787 |

Without a doubt, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have gotten it done. In a round about way he says (Not his words) because he knows you, he did the work, another words, if I just came off the streets he probably would have said "no" because he's trying to "do less work", or what he wants to do so, yes, I give you the credit.

In Italy, these last days of January are called Giorni del Merlo, or the days of the robin, and are usually the coldest days of the year.
It’s cold here in Rapallo, about 0 degrees Fahrenheit last night, but at least we’re having mostly sunny days. It’s raining and snowing in the rest of Italy, so we’re relatively well off here. And at least the days are getting visibly longer now.
Merlos are cousins of the robins we have in the states, but they do not have red breasts. There’s another bird here called the pettirosso, or red-breast, but it’s much smaller than a robin, and more like a fat canary.
The merlos are really smart birds, and have the same sort of spoiled rotten children that actually become larger than the adult birds. It’s amusing to see the big adolescent merlos sitting in the trees squawking loudly while the two parents rush around frantically trying to find enough food to fill their offspring’s mouth.
The news in the garden is that the broccoli harvest has finally started. Italians seem to eat more broccoli that Americans, and I’m definitely eating more since I moved here.
My wife and I eat a lot of steamed broccoli, and sometimes we eat pasta with broccoli and sometimes my wife includes broccoli in the mix for vegetable pies. These are all delicious recipes, but there’s something about the rich green color of lightly steamed broccoli that radiates healthiness.
I grow both regular broccoli that makes big heads and also a local variety that just makes little individual shoots. The local variety is really popular around here and it is even listed among the market tax lists from 500 years ago in Genoa.
The big head broccoli also produces a copious amount of secondary shoots once the central head is harvested. The little shoots are the broccoli most commonly used in pasta dishes and we’ll probably be able to keep harvesting shoots until April, so there’s a lot of pasta with broccoli in my future.
Another plant in the garden that is ready to start harvesting is the black kale shown in the second photo. This is unusual leaf vegetable is eaten steamed, in soups and in vegetable pies. Eating black kale is reputed to have particular health benefits. Me, I like it steamed and with mustard.
So, tomorrow is Feb. 6, and that means Valentine’s Day is a little more than a week away. That still confuses me because for many years in California, Valentine’s Day was when I would plant my first tomatoes. There’s no way I’ll have tomatoes planted this Valentine’s Day, because the ground’s still to wet to work and it’s still too cold to plant tomato seeds in the coldframe. Phooey. | 210068430 |
Any moment now! Prince William is keeping busy as he and Kate Middleton await the birth of their second child. The Duke of Cambridge commemorated ANZAC Day and the Centenary of the Gallipoli Campaign with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in London on Saturday, April 25.
Prince William's attendance was a nice surprise for onlookers. As palace aides told Us Weekly, it was unknown if he would have to miss the event if Middleton went into labor.
Prince George's dad, 32, attended the outdoor service with Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family at 11 a.m. They began with a two-minute silence, and placed a wreath at the Cenotaph. Despite Middleton staying home during the engagement, a source tells Us that William "looked calm and sombre."
ANZAC Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand for those who've died in wars and other conflicts. April 25 marks the day the country's troops went into battle at Gallipoli against the Ottoman Empire during WWI in 1915. More than 11,400 of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps were killed at the time. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, Labour leader Ed Miliband, and descendants of the troops also took part in the ceremony.
As previously reported, Prince William started his paternity leave early this week after completing the first phase of his air ambulance training. On April 22, he was spotted shopping at department store Peter Jones in London's Knightsbridge area. "Prince William was very nice to all the staff," an insider exclusively told Us. Some of the items he purchased included Converse and Toms shoes, John Lewis and GANT jeans, and some blue tops. | 314751668 |

Diesel cars that have become the recent catch for car buyers in India could be dearer soon. Assessing the high consumption of subsidized fuel diesel by these cars, the government plans to introduce a 10 percent additional duty on passenger diesel cars which will include all including SUVs and MUVs. Thus, if you are thinking of buying a diesel car such as Maruti Swift Dzire Diesel, it is the time to juggle up things and rush to the nearest dealer.
The move is seen as a severe setback for the industry as car prices by Maruti, Hyundai, Ford etc have already been increased and the prices will further shoot up after the tax burden. Thus it will have negative impact on the already slow sales.
Lately as well, there was an indication from the government regarding increase in the price of diesel for passenger cars in India. However, that decision was postponed at that time. As per sources, the proposed hike has been considered in view of the recommendations made by a standing committee that had suggested that the government subsidized diesel is being used by passengers vehicles majorly apart from agriculture for which it is being subsidized by the government. The recommendations will be proposed in the coming budget and the hike in price of diesel cars is expected from April.
Experts believe that the increase in tax on diesel cars will result in the hike of diesel cars and the rally for such cars will get a severe jolt. In addition to this, car companies such as Maruti, Hyundai and Ford besides others have laid extensive plans for expansion in their diesel car lineup. However, this decision will force car companies to shelve such plans. Overall, it will have negative implications on the auto industry and the move will be deterring new companies from coming to India and thinking of starting their operations in the country. | 27608898 |

Let’s celebrate – it’s Rose Festival time!! - Amphora Aromatics Ltd – Supplier of pure essential oils and aromatherapy Products.
It’s Rose Festival time!! We’re celebrating the rose harvest in the Bulgarian ‘Valley of the Roses’ where, in just a few weeks, more than 1,500 kilograms of oil is distilled from roses or ‘Rose Damascena’ – enough to supply most of the world’s cosmetic, perfume and aromatherapy industry.
Our 100% pure Amphora Aromatics’ Organic Rose Water is produced here, on the southern slopes of the Balkan range and Sredna Gora mountain, using only flowers from certified, chemical-free organic rose fields. Known as ‘hydrolate’ – the result of the distillation process of organic rose oil – we supply around 25,000 kg of organic rose water to our customers as a cleansing skin toner, body mist spray or simply to add to the bath, for a calming and fortifying effect.
One kilogram (kg) of rose oil is extracted from around 3000 kgs of roses, all harvested by hand. This rose oil is Bulgaria’s ‘liquid gold’. In the first week of June, the whole valley dresses up in rose flowers, dances, sings and parades along the sweet-scented streets to celebrate the harvest and elect a Queen of Roses.
Over the six-week harvest period collection begins at sunrise when the oil yield is at its highest and is completed before noon, while the dew is still on the flowers. The harvest is packed into sacks and transported immediately to the nearby organic distillery where they are distilled by the end of the day – ensuring the essential oil and water’s superb quality and unique aroma.
For more than 300 years, the people in the ‘Valley of Roses’ have grown roses and processed them into rose oil in this way. The favourable climate, with its characteristic mild winters and a long, balmy spring, with intermittent light rains, high humidity - especially in May and June - abundant morning dew and undulating landscape, are ideal for growing the oil-yielding rose and creating its outstanding aroma.

I noticed that someone was speaking about families in Stanthorne. Travelling from Middlewich and the first house after Stanthorne Cross Roads has connections to Dickens. It was the home of the Joules family who became wealthy from the Salt Industry. My Mother was a lifelong friend of a lady who married a James Joule.
Further along on the left was the home of the Dalby family; Mr. Dalby was employed as Dentist at I.C.I. Winnington. We played in some of the vacant rooms in his house when we visited the farm at the rear of the property.
Also at the top of Spittle Hill on the left was the home of the Carnegie family; Renee France Hayhurst married a Carnegie and as mentioned they ran horse riding stables. I think they had a dau. Dinah. | 158889625 |

When embroidering on to material it is extremely important that you use the correct stabiliser for the type of embroidery you are stitching and also take in to account the type of material you're using.
It would be a shame to spend time stitching out an embroidery design only to find the stitches have stretched the fabric and the design does not line up. We are often asked which backing would be best to use for a set embroidery. This is a very difficult question to answer. It depends on the fabric, thread and type of embroidery. There are so many variables to give a solid answer. Experience is the key.! Look for the starter set of stabilizers, it includes a book and 10 samples of different stabilizers to practice on, it's great value and well worth testing with your project.
For the more experienced, we offer a comprehensive selection which I think would satisfy every need where fabric backing for embroidery is required. There is a spray-on basting adhesive or a super melt-a-way stabiliser available too The water soluble stabiliser is a real treat to use if one has not used it before. The stabiliser melts in water and leaves the embroidered lace design in the tub, ready to be removed and dyed off, couldn't be more simple!!.
