Located between Akron and Cleveland Ohio, the Broadview Heights Fire Department serves approximately 20,000 residents. Included in their mission statement is: We are committed to providing our services in the most efficient and cost effective manner feasible, in order to, without compromise of service, lessen the financial burden on our community as a whole whenever possible.

Joe Fleming, the department?s Assistant Fire Chief, estimates he?ll save over two full weeks of time every year by subscribing to FIRE Manager. Instead of making out an excel spreadsheet each month and updating and reprinting it constantly this fire department turned to an online workforce management system. ?But the time saved is only part of it. FIRE Manager gives us so many more benefits. It gives us accuracy and security. It prevents duplicate schedules. It?s always up to date, allows more accurate accounting of payroll and eliminates unforeseen gaps in manpower which lead to higher overtime costs,? explains Fleming, who heard about FIRE Manager from a part-time employee who used it at another fire department.

Public safety agencies and companies, are subscribing to web-based online employee scheduling and workforce management systems in order to significantly decrease the amount of time spent on scheduling and managing employees while significantly increasing their agency?s productivity. Also, online software systems allow for 24/7/365 access wherever there is an internet connection, whether it be in the office, at the station, at home, on a smartphone or an on-the-go mobile device.

?We really like the convenience of FIRE Manager. It is web-based so we can access it anytime and anywhere,? adds Fleming. ?Also, our manpower is there on time and at the right level on a consistent basis with no unforeseen gaps.?

Aladtec, Inc. developed subscription based FIRE Manager and EMS Manager to meet the unique needs of the public safety sector?s volunteer, part-time and full-time employee scheduling challenges. By logging into Aladtec?s website, administrators and employees access their department?s scheduling and management system. They can view and change the information in real time. Schedulers and administrators can see who has ?called in? sick, requested a shift, read a department wide mandatory email message and monitor who?s due for certification updates. Employees and volunteers can swap shifts, request vacation time and PTO (paid time off), access important company documents and are immediately alerted about upcoming meetings. The Broadview Heights Fire Department experience with FIRE Manager is one more example that proves online employee scheduling and workforce management increases efficiency, productivity and saves money.

Broadview Heights Fire Department has two stations with 36 employees. They offer a number of outreach services to the community including: fire safety programs, home safety inspections, CPR and First Aid training, station tours, job shadowing and career day presentations.

Aladtec, Inc. is a provider of web-based software solutions for online employee scheduling and workforce management applications. The company?s flagship products, EMS Manager and FIRE Manager, are leaders in the public safety sector and together serve more than 750 EMS and fire departments and nearly 50,000 employees. Their newest product, Zanager, is another workforce management system ideal for businesses in the private sector. Aladtec is headquartered just outside the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area in Hudson, Wisconsin. For more information, visit http://www.aladtec.com.

Airfield Farm & House – Goats


Image by infomatique
Airfield Farm & House – Dundrum

In 1893, a Dublin solicitor named Trevor Overend purchased an 18th century farmhouse. The property was eventually inherited by sisters Letitia and Naomi Overend, they lived there their entire lives and enjoyed working on the farm and gardens. Prior to their death they set up the Airfield Trust, leaving this unique estate for educational and recreational purposes.

Today this farm known as Airfield is a place of escape, discovery and learning which celebrates farming and gardening through a range of exciting learning and cultural programmes.

Trevor T. L. Overend, was a successful Dublin solicitor. He was born in Portadown in 1847 but moved to Dublin in 1855 with his parents and five siblings. In 1879 he married Lily Butler and they had two surviving daughters Letitia (b. 1880) and Naomi (b. 1900). Trevor and Lily Overend first lived at 12 Ely Place, later the business premises of ‘T.T.L. Overend & Co.’. In 1894 they purchased ‘Airfield’ in Dundrum from a member of the Jury family of Jury’s Commercial & Family Hotel. Letitia and Naomi Overend grew up surrounded by a close circle of aunts, uncles and family friends. They were particularly close to their mother’s sisters and grandmother, Letitia Butler, who lived in Sandymount, to their cousins, the Bartons of Donegal, and to Tommy Overend (President of the Calcutta Stock Exchange). Both girls were educated at home by a governess although Naomi did finish her education at Alexandra College. In their early years they spent their days having lessons, playing tennis of golf, visiting friends with their mother, walking with their father and enjoying various bike rides, tea parties, fancy dress, charity fêtes and the theatre. Encouraged by their parents (and a twenty year age gap!) they led quite separate and independent lives although they always remained close, enjoying a similar sense of humor and determination. They were united in their interest in the house and farm at Airfield, their, dogs, friends, and travel. In 1913, Letitia Overend started her training with St. John’s Ambulance.This began a lifetime of work and friendship within the association. In 1955 she was awarded their highest honour becoming Dame Justice of the Order Of St. John and in 1961 she proudly accepted an Honorary Doctorate from Trinity College in recognition of her public services. On the farm the family’s great love was the Dromartin herd of Jerseys. The animals were named after different characters in the Gilbert & Sullivan operas and were regular prize winners at the RDS Spring Show. Besides the herd, horses were kept for ploughing and transport, eggs, vegetables, and milk were sold and there was always a large population of cats and dogs.

Robinson seeks seat as state representative

Former mayoral candidate Melissa Sue Robinson filed Monday Dec. 29, 2003 to seek election to the 68th District of the Michigan state House of Representatives. Since the May 11, 2004 deadline has already passed, she is now running in the Democratic Primary against incumbent Rev. Michael Murphy who is Pastor of St. Stephens Church in Lansing.

Robinson, 53, of Lansing, MI. (USA) works as an SBC maintenance administrator. She led unsuccessful campaigns this year for mayor and school board, and in 1997 for City Council. Robinson, a transsexual, ran her first campaign as Charles Staelens Jr., her birth name.In all other races she was forced by Michigan law to use both her legal name now and her former (birth) name. Michigan law states that if a name was changed within ten years both names have to appear on the ballot. Robinson is going to fight that in court and has asked State senator Virgil Bernero (D) Michigan to ammend the law to exclude transsexuals.

The 68th District includes most of Lansing. The seat is held by Michael Murphy, D- Lansing. Under term limits, Murphy can serve one more two-year term. Robinson says that she entered the race in order to fight for gay marriage, anti discrimination laws, hate crime laws, socialized medicine, and other human rights and social legislation.

The Following is Her Story:

He’s A She Now And His Twin is His Ex-Wife’s Lover——But That’s Not All—They’re All Living Happily Ever After

Charles Edward Staelens divorced his wife Linda, had a sex change, and became Melissa Sue Robinson. Now Melissa and Linda are “very best friends”—–and Linda is living with her former husband’s identical twin brother, Warren Staelens!

Fortunately, the sex- swap and twin- trade turned out happily for everyone involved, according to Melissa, 52 of Lansing, Mich., who has shared her bizarre story with several news sources.

” I’m finally the woman I was always meant to be,” said Melissa, a building contractor nicknamed Chuck until he freed his inner femme more than three years ago.

” I always thought of myself as a woman, even as a youngster.

” When I grew older as a man, I was married four times and failed at making love to all of my wives. I kept thinking of myself as a woman and would pretend my wife was the man. ” I could only bring myself to have sex with any of my wives about once a month.”

Melissa’s sex change took place at the University of Michigan in 1999, after she’d had psychological counseling and hormone therapy to develop breasts and smooth out her skin.

” The operation lasted just six hours” said Melissa, who now works for SBC Communications as a maintainance administrator in Lansing. ” I didn’t need breast implants as the hormone replacement with estrogen did the trick and I am almost a 42 B in breast size. With breasts and penile inversion I have became a woman in every way except that I cannot have children. ” I went in as a male and came out as a female.”

The operation changed Melissa from a slightly built man with a mustache to what she describes as ” an attractive blue eyed blonde woman.” Since then she’s had one lover and the relationship was a complete success she says.

” Unfortunately he died of cancer,” said wistful Melissa.

” I am now looking for another man in my life.” Until he comes along , Melissa intends to devote herself to the cause of transsexuals around the world. ” I would like to become a spokeperson for transgender persons such as myself,” she said. “We are born with the wrong mix of genes. we are usually not gay. It is about how we mentally feel about ourselves, not about clothes, makeup, or sex.

“Discrimanation is a major problem that sometimes leads to hate crimes. ” Those that don’t understand prefer to laugh, mock us, or take their anger out on us. Whenever I see someone from my past, I don’t dare say hello or acknowledge them for fear of what their reaction may be.”

Despite the fact that Melissa dressed in her wife’s clothing and negligees at home, her marriage to Linda lasted 17 Years. Linda admits that she was reluctant to let her he-she husband go. ” I was devestated, ” Linda said. ” But after a couple of months I accepted it and moved on with my life. We are still friends, and go somewhere about once a week.”

Incredibly Melissa’s twin brother Warren now dates and lives with her in the house she used to share with Melissa.

” After Chuck became Melissa, I waited 22 months before dating her twin,” Linda said. “He was interested in me, so we started going out together. “But I’m not trying to replace Chuck with Warren. Warren is nothing like Chuck was. They are totally different. The only way that they are alike is in their looks.”

Melissa says she’s delighted her twin has moved in with her ex- wife. “It’s a lovely two bedroom ranch house,” said Melissa. ” But I’ve moved out and am living my life anew. I expect that Linda and Warren will marry soon, but I’m not sure I’ll be invited to the wedding. Linda is still my very best friend , but my brother Warren does not approve of my sex change. He calls me a queer.

Update Written By Melissa Sue Robinson Nov. 29, 2003

In December of 2002 Melissa started the NAATP (National Association for the Advancement of Transgender People) and the PNN (Political News

Network). In August of 2003 Melissa ran for Mayor of Lansing finishing third out of six candidates. The Two top contenders were Lansing Mayor

“Tony Benevides” and Michigan State Senator ” Virgil Bernero,” After losing that race Melissa turned around and ran for the Lansing School Board.

She was one of eleven candidates. Although she didn’t win in the Nov. 4th general election she managed to pull over 3200 votes and is on her way to becomming notworthy in the political world. This has not only gained her much media attention which includes: The National Enquirer, The Detroit Free Press, several ABC, NBC, and Fox news stations in Michigan, Sirrius Sattelite Radio, NPR, German Television in Germany (Their version of Dateline), and several other newspapers and radio programs.

In 1992 Melissa then Charles was in a US Government twin Study conducted by renowned Psychologist, researcher, and author, E. Fuller Torrey. The study is included in Dr. Torrey’s book on Manic Depression. Although Melissa isn’t manic depressive, Warren is so she was the control subject. The study was done for the National Institute for Mental Health in Bethesda, MD.

In Michigan Melissa was forced to use her old male name along side her female name on the ballot. This was because of an obscure 1950′s law

that states if you changed your name within ten years, you are required to use both names. The law doesn’t apply to women that changed names because of marriage. Melissa intends to continue helping Transsexuals by her pursuit of a political career. She has also became an ordained minister last November in order to perform Gay/Lesbian Marriages as the laws permit.

Her next move is to run for the Michigan State Legislature in the August 2004 Primary Election as a Democrat. She has filed the necessary papers with the Ingham County Clerk on Wed. Dec 17, 2003 She has a website for her campaign Find it on the web at http://www.melissarobinsonco.com

Strategic Assets Partners LLP (SAP) is a new unique financial services firm which introduces investors to investment opportunities in Real-Estate, Hedge Funds and Private Equity.

SAP has close relationships that allows a preferred access to mandates across the alternatives asset classes. The experience and technical derivatives knowledge of some of the key team members enables SAP to work with some of the leading investment banks to obtain suitable derivatives for its structures. “We also are actively working with two investment banks to structure real estate deals. We are starting to contact investors about hedge fund transactions. One of the real estate deals is around $ 1bn the others are around $ 300 – 500m. The hedge funds we’re working with are mostly around $ 800m AUM and are looking to raise between $ 50m and $ 1bn,” says Dr. Jeremy Penn, Head of Structuring.

Strategic Assets Partners LLP prides itself on its ability to structure products that seek to achieve the stated aims of investors and align closely to their risk profile. Their structures offer genuine innovation and focus on products offering protection on either yield or on capital preservation. “We offer a number of different levels of protection. Our tightest protection comes from derivatives written by well-established banks on the specific assets in the structure. We always ensure the client understand the level of protection offered.” SAP provides services to a wide range of investors. Its institutional investors include sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and insurance companies. The firm also works with ultra-high-net-worth individuals and their private family offices. “For such investors we take special care to ensure that our structures are fully understood, appropriate for the investor’s risk appetite and achieve the stated aims and objectives in a cost efficient way.”

At the moment, SAP is structuring significant parcels of real estate with derivatives linked to real-estate futures and/or currencies. This could include providing capital protection or yield protection. It could also be structured to give the performance of the asset but paid in an investor’s preferred currency, or to service cash flow requirements in another project or business. The company main focus for real estate is Manhattan, Chicago, Los Angeles, London and Paris. Their products are innovative combinations of hedge funds, real estate, private equity and infrastructure with appealing risk characteristics. “To price these deals correctly we breakdown the large parcels of real-estate into sub-components according to usage, condition and location within building and other attributes. We analyse the rental and sale value of similar nearby real estate and adjust for location differences. From this we construct and model a rental yield curve.” This is then used in the appropriate option pricing formulae. By structuring the derivative in a swap format SAP can provide yield protection. “At present there are no other firms offering products across all alternatives and including associated derivatives. Additionally SAP has preferred access to real estate and hedge fund mandates through existing relationships.”
