Always completely thaw your turkey before frying it. The water in a frozen or partially frozen bird can react violently with the hot oil, causing oil to spill out of the fryer.
Lower the turkey into the pot slowly to prevent excess spillage.
If a fire does occur, never use water to extinguish it. Grease fires should only be put out with an all-purpose fire extinguisher. | 2019-04-22T04:07:05 | http://tmib.com/happy-thanksgiving-from-tmib/ |
'Financial IT - Innovations in Technology'.
“We’ve seen some big changes in the Financial Services industry recently. With the New Year beckoning, it’s time to reflect on 2016 and look ahead to 2017 to see what awaits us.” says Tim, whose article assesses some of the biggest changes of 2016 and considers what may happen across the industry in 2017.
FinTech: a year of uncertainty in 2016, but in 2017 is there a pivotal role to be played by organisations industrialising FinTech to be able to deliver at scale?
Up, up and away – the cloud - a technology that reached a tipping point in Financial Services in 2016. Will it become a routine, technology of choice in 2017?
Regulation as opportunity - Whilst it's always been about compliance, will the drive to 'open banking' turn regulation on its head as institutions turn it to their advantage?
The rise of the robots and the decline of Blockchain? As truly transformational business cases for Blockchain move further out, will automation and robotics steal the FinTech limelight in 2017?
A new era of business & IT collaboration? Will teams drawn from across the enterprise continue to maximise the enterprise-wide benefits promised by digital technologies?

The Milani Hair brand was created by the founder, Leyla Milani. It has rapidly become a successful brand which uses only the highest quality, human remy hair. The line of products consists of more than just hair extensions; there are hair tools, and hair care products as well. Milani is a former “Deal or No Deal” model. Milani was also seen on an episode of TLC’s “Secrets of a Trophy Wife” and Bravo’s “Shahs of Sunset.” The star created Milani Hair to fill a void in the marketplace. The products are sold via the official website, and available to consumers. (Read the interview with Leyla Milani).
Hair extensions can add so much life to one’s own hair. Whether you have thin or thick hair, extensions can be a great addition to your everyday hair looks, or even for special occasions and red carpet events. Milani Hair extensions are of the highest quality, and absolutely worthy of praise. These extensions are not only beautiful, but will blend into your own hair easily and effortlessly. More importantly, no damage will be done to the hair, and a consumer can feel comfortable wearing these, and removing them whenever desired.
The clip-in hair extensions are safe to use, and feature premium (and organic) Remy human hair — the highest quality. Since the extensions consist of human hair, they can be styled and colored the same as one’s own hair. A set of hair extensions was reviewed in shade #33 (Dark Auburn). The set comes with seven pieces. The wefts (seven pieces) are very easy to place in the hair, and no backcombing is necessary. The weight of the hair is one-hundred grams/four ounces. The extensions are twenty inches in length. The hair adds fullness, volume and of course length to one’s own hair. They look and feel like real hair because they are real hair. If cared for correctly, the extensions can last for up to a year.
A number of shades and other lengths of hair extensions are available as well. Apart from shade #33 (Dark Auburn), other shades are available: #1 (Jet Black), #1B (Natural Black), #2 (Dark Chocolate), #4 (Milk Chocolate), #6 (Light Chestnut Brown), #27 (Strawberry Blonde), #30 (Light Auburn), #18 (Dirty Blonde), #22 (Sandy Blonde), and #60 (Platinum Blonde). The hair extensions are available for a price of $179.99. Twenty-four inch hair extensions are available as well in various shades including highlights for $189.99. Clip-in bangs are available as well for $49.95. A wonderful tool is available as well: Boar/Nylon Paddle Brush which retails for $12.99. It is the perfect brush to use to ensure that the hair extensions do not tangle, and that they are maintained effortlessly.
There are no negatives when considering Milani Hair extensions and the other products that the brand offers consumers. The extensions are must-haves. If you have been looking for a new brand of extensions, look no further; Milani Hair is an incredible line, that is certain to stand the test of time.

In 2018, home care in Algeria continued to post a positive performance in current value terms, as a result of the country’s expanding population and unit price increases fuelled by inflation. In addition, most categories registered positive performances in both volume terms and value terms at constant 2018 prices, thanks to increasing consumer awareness, the growing focus on hygiene and widening distribution through modern retail outlets.
Value growth remained stable within home care in 2018. Consumer sentiment remained weak amidst the rising cost of living in Algeria and economic uncertainty, which was mostly felt by the low- and middle-income segments.
Ongoing economic hardship and inflation drove sharp price rises for all products; in particular imported goods. Thus, although international brands, especially those manufactured locally, continued to dominate, the share of domestic brands continued to grow in many home care categories.
Independent small grocers continued to account for the largest share of value sales in home care in 2018, largely because these outlets are convenient for consumers, located close to residential areas. In addition, the channel enjoys a large number of outlets, wide geographic coverage and long opening hours, offering a large range of products.
Due to the uncertain economic outlook, home care is predicted to record moderate value growth at constant 2018 prices over the forecast period. Rising inflation, local currency devaluation and declining disposable incomes will push consumers to choose much cheaper products, which represents a real threat to forecast volume and value growth in home care, driving a relative slowdown at constant 2018 prices.

A rainbow threw up on my room...and I like it.
I absolutely love and simultaneously dread setting up my classroom for the new school year. I love starting fresh and coming up with new ideas to help my classroom operate more efficiently but it is also a lot of hard work and very time consuming.
Some time saving tips: laminate posters, string together flags and pennants so you only have to use a couple of staples, cover entire walls with paper (top of the ceiling -to the floor) it makes the room look larger, save your borders every year (they are pricy!), go to Allposters.com when they have sales or look in their clearance for inexpensive posters (sometimes only a dollar!) and invest in a staple gun (best investment EVER).
Keep rules short and sweet, but put them in a VERY visible location. I have this at the front of the room next to the screen of the projector. The little pockets are for Homework/ Tardy Cards for each class to stay organized. I just cut a manila folder in half and stapled the sides.
College pennants are expensive so a great alternative is to find a color printer (beg an administrator) and print images of college's logos and glue to colored pieces of paper and presto...college pendants!
Showcase where you went/go to college. I currently attend USC so the helmet (a gift from my husband...he knows me so well) serves two purposes: 1) To teach about the Roman Empire/ Legion Armies and 2) USC Trojan mascot representing!

CHICAGO, Ill. - It’s graduation day at Indiana University-Northwest, but there’s one student who received his diploma in an unusual place.
Graduation came to Joe Willis in his University of Chicago hospital room.
Friday the 23-year-old business school student traded his hospital gown for a graduation gown.
“When I was 21, I was diagnosed with heart failure, only ten percent of my blood flow was getting up to my body,” Willis told WGN.
Despite the fatigue and frustration and the strain and the struggle of serious heart disease causing him to miss a semester of school, Willis wasn’t ready to give up.
“Then I found out I had two blood clots the size of golf balls in my left ventricle,” he said.
Willis underwent open heart surgery to remove the blood clots. But eventually he also needed a heart transplant.
And that is why Willis he’s back in the hospital and not with his classmates.
But on his graduation day, he was with his dean, his team of doctors and his mother Beverly, who was beaming.
“His heart was taken out, but he received another heart, so now he really has two hearts – and he shows it,” she said.
Willis received his MBA and says he wants to use his skills in hospital management working with organ transplant patients.
Willis’s story of success took persistence and perseverance, but it took something deeper, too. You might even say, it took a lot of heart.
Willis hopes to be released from the hospital Friday. | 2019-04-24T08:40:08 | https://portlandscw.com/2018/05/11/transplant-patient-cant-make-graduation-so-the-ceremony-comes-to-him/ |

The Swiss Defender of the America's Cup, Alinghi, became the final Cup team to sail from Port America's Cup this year when they slipped out for a late afternoon shake-down of SUI 91 on Tuesday. They joined an assortment of the 11 challengers who have been engaged in training and practice racing for weeks now.
Alinghi had held a winter training camp and 'Defender Trials' in Dubai over the winter months, before returning to Valencia at the end of February. The goal on Tuesday was to check SUI91 was ready to go in order for the team to get in full training sessions later this week.
SUI100 has yet to slip in the water. The last boat built for the 32nd America's Cup is due to sail later this month - an event all of the challengers will be watching with great interest.
Meanwhile, team members, including Ernesto BERTARELLI (SUI) have been competing in the United States in the Farr 40 class. BERTARELLI's Alinghi team took fourth place in the Acura Miami Grand Prix in Florida last week. That result, combined with an earlier win at Key West, gave Alinghi the Farr 40 Grand Prix Championship title. | 2019-04-20T20:52:40 | https://members.sailing.org/news/5498.php |

You’re probably running into the fact that PHP 5.6 now verifies SSL certificates by default, and if you connect to a server that doesn’t verify, the connection will fail. Diagnose your situation using openssl. if this is what’s happening, you can provide additional params to the SMTP connection to tell it not to verify certificates, though of course that means your connection is no longer secure.
It’s the same as an SSL cert for a web server – it needs to match the domain, be signed by a trusted CA (i.e. not self-signed), and should have an SHA2 hash and use a 2048-bit key. How you install it depends on your specific server – and it will tell you in its docs. | 2019-04-20T20:23:24 | https://stacktrace.tech/2015-12-16/php5_6-failed-to-connect-to-server-0/ |
Evidencing a truly disturbing level of judicial corruption and outright disdain the U.S. Constitution, Pinellas County Judge Kimberly Todd played a key initial role in jailing an innocent U.S. citizen (Spencer C. Young) on a FALSE charge literally made up out of thin air (and later dismissed as meritless), which any competent person with a modicum of intelligence could have figured out was BOGUS.
This false charge was intended to intimidate and cover up the extensive crimes (including FIVE episodes of Grand Larceny) of a criminally corrupt judge in North Carolina (David Q. LaBarre) and LaBarre's girlfriend (Leah R. Krier). Making this matter even more disturbing, it was LaBarre and his long-time friend and colleague, Leon Stanback [then the acting Durham (NC) District Attorney], who concocted the bogus charge against Mr. Young.
Even more disturbing, it was yet another corrupt Pinellas County Judge (Philip Federico) who orchestrated this theft of computers and obstruction of justice in an attempt to destroy evidence of the crimes perpetrated by a North Carolina judge (i.e., LaBarre). This malicious act was in violation of the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and the issuance of search warrants without probable cause. And that's not all -- it was later learned that the person pulling all the strings of judicial corruption in Pinellas County was then Chief Judge Thomas McGrady, who chose to not seek re-election as Federal "Color of Law" criminal charges were filed against him with the FBI and the U.S. Dept. of Justice.
Reflected below is the ethics complaint filed against Kimberly Todd, which proved a worthless exercise, as the Florida Judicial Qualification Commission simply ignored it. This notion of self-policing is an insult to one's intelligence and is the reason why this level of judicial corruption is possible and seemingly at epidemic levels today. | 2019-04-23T20:44:32 | http://www.morganstanleygate.com/2012/09/corrupt-judge-complaint-filed-against.html |

We live in a world where some people are really athletic and some are super smart. Other people are funny, and still others possess great wealth. Some can sing and others dance. Some are good at communicating and others at peacemaking. Some can cook, some can host, and others can sew. There are so, so many gifts that God uniquely distributes to each and every one of His children. At Grace, we are grateful for all of the gifts God gives to each of us, but we know that it is not our particular gifts that make any one of us great. Our greatness comes when we discover our gifts (whatever they may be) and use them to serve and bless others.
We find no satisfaction or joy in comparing who we are or what we have or don’t have with each other. We have no time for trying to be something or someone we are not. Our collective aim is to live into the very best versions of ourselves that we can. We want to discover how God made us, grow comfortable in our own skin, and then together pour out our lives for the sake of others. We want to be agents of healing and hope and transformation in our families, our communities, and in our world that so desperately needs it.
If you would like to join us and use what God has uniquely given you in order to be a blessing to others, you can contact us at 732.542.7373 or at [email protected] and set up an appointment to talk about how you might be able to get involved in the exciting things that are happening at Grace and beyond. | 2019-04-25T08:43:40 | http://gracechristianchurch.com/serving/ |
New Delhi Dec 3 (IANS) Actress Kajol who has been an active supporter of eradicating preventable deaths from hygiene-related issues says the current government is giving the cause of hygiene and sanitation the spotlight it deserves.
"I think hygiene and sanitation are issues in every country. It s not only in our country. The fact that it has become a focus in our country is really important... No other government has spotlighted it in such a big way " Kajol told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
At the same time she believes the public needs to do its bit to make a greater difference.
"In the world we are living and the kind of levels pollution has reached I think it s important to understand that we need to do our part... We have to take that personal responsibility " added Kajol who is an advocate for Lifebuoy s Help A Child Reach Five movement.
She also participated in the United Nations General Assembly to spread the message of hygiene through washing hands.
Asserting that it s a cause very close to her heart as it s about saving the lives of children Kajol said: "I am a mom. I think it s really important. So when we talk about the statistics of our country it is very high as far as child mortality is concerned. As much as 30 per cent of child mortality comes from India."
At 43 Kajol who is married to actor Ajay Devgn has two children -- daughter Nysa and son Yug.
As a mother she describes herself as strict.
"I am fun but definitely strict. There are no two ways about it. I hope my children like me. I believe they do. I like them more... Most importantly they are good kids and they are great fun. But yeah I am very very strict " she said adding that Ajay too is a "strict but a wonderful parent".
The "Dilwale" star who is the daughter of veteran actress Tanuja says it is important that children have "discipline and rules in their lives".
"They will grow up straight and strong with the boundaries put around them " she added.
How does she strike a balance between her work and two growing up children?
"It is a juggling process and it happens every day every hour and hoping that one of the balls don t slip out of your hands. I think most importantly it s just that you kind of realise that some days you are a better mother some days you are a better wife some days you are better actor... It s okay and you are doing the best you can " she added.
On the acting front Kajol will next be seen playing a single mother in an upcoming movie directed by Pradeep Sarkar. | 2019-04-19T11:20:07 | http://www.windowtonews.com/news.php?id=107941&cat_id=21 |
What's better than breakfast for students? Riding a bike to school.
Teen girls who walked or biked to school in a Spanish study performed better at school in verbal and math skills that their peers who rode the bus or got to school in a car, according to a 2011 research study funded by the Spanish National Research Council.
More recently, the results of a large Danish study from 2012 show that driving kids to school in a car is doing them a disservice. This large study by researchers from the University of Copenhagen and Aarhus University followed 20,000 school kids aged 5-19 in some of their daily activities. The researchers were interested to see whether a good breakfast made a difference in concentration levels - an idea that is fairly well accepted in the U.S.
The group of kids walking or biking to school concentrated better than those driven to school or taking public transport, and the effect lasted throughout the morning hours. On average, active students scored 8.2 - 8.4 on a concentration test (of a possible 10) while non-active students scored an average of 7.6 - 7.8. This was more than the concentration difference shown between students who did eat breakfast (8 - 8.15) and those who didn't (8.1 - 8.25).
Unfortunately, in the Nordic nations and in the U.S., the trend for how children get to school is going in the opposite direction - more children are getting driven to school than ever before. Parents perceive walking and biking to be dangerous, while actually things have gotten safer for cyclists in many, many places, and overall fatalities are trending downward.
Of course, correlation is not causality, so it can't be said with certainty that riding a bike to school will make you smarter, anymore than it can be said that driving in cars will make you fat.
With biking, there are so many other benefits, real and perceived, that it certainly seems worth a try to get parents off the driving-the-kids-to-school frenzy.
A Spanish study showed girls biking to school got better grades - now a new Danish study confirms walking or biking is better for your school brain. | 2019-04-19T12:57:13 | https://www.treehugger.com/bikes/bike-school-better-grades.html |
The selfie camera on my phone broke (boo), so I had to find a mirror in the bathroom at work and well…it’s not the greatest.
But here’s my new favorite sweater! And it’s reasonably priced from Amazon!
And these booties are really amazing – I highly recommend them. I traveled in them recently and I walked all over a few airports without any problems!
Yeah – I basically switched the sweater out for this outfit, but the new sweater is amazing! It’s the perfect weight for mornings that are really cold but the afternoons in the 50s and 60s! | 2019-04-25T15:48:29 | https://pinkshoegirl.com/2019/04/17/what-i-wore-24/ |

Marist College required J1 scholar insurance (F students consult TaiAn) is as follows: 1. Medical benefits of $100,000 per accident or illness; 2. Repatriation of remains of $25,000; 3. Medical evacuation of $50,000; 4. Deductible not over $500 per accident or illness. These requirements are the same as the USDOS standards. TaiAn Plan B with $100,000 benefit per illness or injury and four deductible options is the most popular plan that meets the requirements. TaiAn Plan S with $100,000 benefit per illness or injury and $500 deductible option is the lowest cost plan that meets the requirements. You can also choose Taian Plan B or Plan S with a higher benefit or Taian Plan A if you need more benefits than your school requires. After submitting an application online successfully, you will receive an Email confirmation (DECLARATION OF MEDICAL INSURANCE) in a few minutes which contains the links to your insurance ID card and Visa Letter. Click the links to get the PDF version of your ID Card and Visa Letter. Send the Email confirmation together with Visa Letter to your school to prove that you have purchased insurance that meets the school's requirements. TaiAn will send you an email which tells how to download the insurance documents for your school and how to see doctor when you need. | 2019-04-26T08:04:50 | https://www.taianfinancial.com/m/cn/schools/marist_college |

From a distance, bright lights form multi-colored layers of tapestry. Moving closer, the dark scent of brewing coffee drifts through opened doors, carriedon a chorus of local music. Blackboards displaying regional and international cuisine line cobblestone walkways leading to cozy eateries.
Once known for general stores, courthouses, and mail depots, downtowns today are cultural hubs that offer prime real estate for businesses and homeowners. Making cities friendlier and more liveable is a prime economic driver.
The resurgence of downtowns across America mirrors a global trend. The World Health Organization estimates 60% of the world’s population will live in a city by 2030 (source), and when urban economies diversify, art becomes a catalyst in attracting communities that lead this dynamic growth.
Across the country, ArtPlace fuels this urban revitalization. A collaboration of national foundations and federal entities with loan backing of six of the nation’s largest banks, ArtPlace has invested in local and regional projects in all 50 states. From endeavors that spread the arts through storytelling and dance, to providing space for emerging artists to create, ArtSpace grant recipients take advantage of every region’s unique artistic personality. | 2019-04-26T15:49:30 | http://dayspringmedia.com/2012/11/14/downtown-place-art/ |
This morning, I'm in some serious prayer for my family. I'm struggling to see where God's working in this particular situation. I'm grateful I can rummage through my purse to find my notebook, encrusted with chap stick and goldfish crumbs (thanks Baby R), to read through line after line of God's working. But I'm still struggling with where to find God in this space. Will this situation one day be a gift or will the struggle be what becomes the gift? Today I'm wondering. | 2019-04-22T00:07:37 | http://www.suzanneslagell.com/2011/08/wondering.html |

No, not my husband. Johnny of course. Ha ha.
This is probably the closest I will ever get to a famous movie star and it's not even him, it's his wax counterpart! If it wasn't wierd and prohibited I would have taken him home with me because seriously, the wax figures are CRAZY realistic. And I gave him a really close look too. Bizarro.
In January I had the strange urge to scrap an 8.5 x 11.
I am a traditionalist-lets-not-stray-from-the-routine kind of a girl and have solely been scrapping 12 x 12 for the last 3 1/2 years, yet when the idea got into my head I jumped right in.
Well, maybe jumped is not quite the right word, more like I dipped my toe into the water with this first layout.

I decided to avoid work a little by porting FreeBSD/MIPS to the AR9132 in the TP-LINK WN-1043nd 802.11n wireless AP I have here. There's existing OpenWRT code for it so I figured the port wouldn't be that difficult.
It turns out I was right. The AR91xx support took a couple of days to massage into a form which was good enough to commit to FreeBSD-HEAD. I also included some basic AR713x SoC support - not enough to be completely useful, but enough to get a head-start on porting.
* The EEPROM is not in the same location(s) as the AR5416 - it needs to be copied and then shoe-horned into the AR5416 eeprom access code.
Also, there's an RTL8133RB gigabit switch device on-board. There's also code in Linux/OpenWRT to support this. I'll look at porting this once the AR9100 support is done.
Satellite instead of NBN? Hello latency..
"Mr Ballantine today argued that for most of Australia’s geography broadband delivered over satellite would be faster and cheaper. What was right for the city he argued was not necessarily good for the outback."
Maybe for download throughput, sure. But latency plays a huge part in satellite (and 3G style solutions) and it will be noticable.
Satellite IP doesn't scale. Sorry guys. | 2019-04-18T22:52:51 | https://adrianchadd.blogspot.com/2010/08/ |

Good Points: Location of this hotel was its only attraction for us. Breakfast was good. Staff service was good. Good clean linen in bed and bathroom. Bad Points: Sloping floors in room and bathroom. Poor standard of plumbing - e.g. untidy and dirty sealants and toilet rammed up to the wall. Ancient wall clock radio not working, not that we wanted to use it anyway - just added to the general 'out of date' flavour of the hotel. Few TV channels (3 working) - other cheaper hotels have Freeview and Sky. General review: We booked because we wanted a hotel close to town and amenities. We stayed in a Wetherspoon Hotel that was better all round than this at £38 per night, so after paying £95 for this we felt gouged. | 2019-04-24T04:04:53 | http://information-britain.co.uk/reviews.php?place=10164&type=1 |

Are VCs worse when they are risk averse?
Risk averse VCs are bad if you want to take a lot of risk. If you want to raise a ton of money, have a high burn rate, hire tons of sales reps quickly.
But … if you don’t plan to raise another round. If you aren’t burning a lot of money. If you don’t need to ask your VCs for more money.
Then risk averse VCs sometimes can be nice. They won’t pressure you to go harder and faster than you want to.

"Frameless window and door openings appear as voids through the brick enclosures, and the roof planes of timber and glass sit inside the external walls. Spatially, the sheds separate two zones of the garden, and loosely enclose a paved space between them. Windows positioned on one end of each building frame views across this patio, visually connecting the two building envelopes and the interiors that they enclose."

— The number of persons accessing the online world from mobile and portable devices can be increasing at a massive academiadelemailmarketing.com level – in 2008 upon it’s own there’ll be an estimated 49.50 million PDAs sold international.
— People generally have a lot less experience of utilizing their mobile going online than they do of using their pc. This means that computer-based users could be assumed to possess a higher level of existing expertise than mobile and handheld users.
— The platform whereby users gain access to your site is normally far less expected when using mobile phone devices. Computer-based website visitors generally only differ from the other in their web browser and operating system (i. at the. most people will use a screen, mouse button and keyboard), whereas different types of mobile phones and PDAs are different can dramatically.
Because the cellphone / PDA that somebody is applying will have such a profound effect on the experience of your websites, you should try to test with as much mobile phones and PDAs as is possible.
— Your portable site visitors may well belong to a specialized audience. Certain audiences are inclined to prefer particular types of phones (e. g. handsets with big screens that will support over the internet access vs . small-screen versions that aren’t).
– You will discover ‘phone families’ that offer the same user experience (and is not going to need to be examined individually).
— You may only want to test while using most well-known mobile phones in Europe or maybe the most popular models that are to be used to get your site (you actually can check your site statistics to find out this information).
— How much experience they should experience of utilizing their mobile phones to access services. That is particularly important as the market for accessing on the web services through mobile phones keeps growing and the percent of ‘complete novices’ (i. e. people using the technology for the first time) will be way higher than with regards to computer users of your website.
– Which mobile phone or PERSONAL DIGITAL ASSISTANT they have. We would usually suggest that people employ their own mobile phone in a time, so the check can concentrate on your website and never on the way the hand-held device performs.
Where should cell usability diagnostic tests sessions always be conducted?
Mobile phones and PDAs are used inside the real world thus usability tests of hand held devices will need to therefore not simply take place in a usability clinical.
As such, there was recommend, if possible, that virtually any mobile phone and PDA user friendliness testing is definitely conducted in a lab and also in the ‘outside world’. | 2019-04-22T01:01:52 | http://www.nocreditphone.co.uk/uncategorized/handheld-devices-usability-testing-why-that-matters/ |

Why isn’t an employee able to trade shifts?
The employee is not able to work that Position (Employees can only see shifts on the Tradeboard for Positions they are able to work).
The employee is using a popup blocker that is not allowing the popup window to open to post the shift to appear.
The employee is not clicking on their own shift, or understanding how to use the “Trade my Shifts” section to post their shift.
Note that the request to trade or cover shifts will not appear on your Manager’s Pending Trades page until another employee clicks on the shift the first employee posted and offers to work the shift.
Managers only see requests between employees when the employees themselves have both agreed to the requested trade.
For instance, if employee A posts a shift1 to trade onto the Tradeboard, then another employee B has to click on the shift on the Tradeboard and offer their shift2 in trade. Then employee A has to approve the request to work shift2 for their shift1, and then once they do THEN the request will appear on your Manager Pending Trades page awaiting approval. So perhaps your employees are not completing the approval of the trades being offered.
There is more information on how trading works on our Employee Help Page link. | 2019-04-25T23:49:56 | https://when2work.com/help/mgr/h-sub-tradeboard/f-tradeboard/ |

The wages of spin is ... death?
An interesting but, for the Liberals, an embarrassing situation is coming up with respect to what I call family values.
The conservatives say they uphold them and will not only defend, but will advance, them.
Family First have said the same: in fact, were founded for that purpose.
Labor say they agree with all of this. But people notice that they are unclear, indeed argue, about what a family actually is, and whether values are absolute, relative or just what you say they are.
So, for many of us, Labor marginalised themselves.
But the ACTU - or rather Greg Combet, who is going to go places, industrially and politically - has produced a major glitch in the proposed workplace reform agenda.
Maternity leave (unpaid) should be extended if the mother desires and can afford it, until the child (or children?) reach school age, without the woman sacrificing or jeopardising her job.
She can spend far more time with her child, which is good. And, if she and her family can't afford to do without a contribution from her, she should be allowed to work part time, and paternal leave should be extended - where there is still a father in occupancy.
The Government cannot refuse this, unless it admits its family-values talk was just talk - just as its anti-drugs/alcohol/gambling talk was all spin. Nothing has happened there - nor will it. But this one will happen.
But what other changes in the workplace might not be in the ACTU's mind, which would also be family-friendly and family-protective? Changes which may not help the bottom line.
Labor, so long as it is in opposition, will support any family-friendly suggested workplace changes.
Having cried wolf and poor mouth for so long, employers are going to find it difficult for anyone to believe them. And the Government, routinely defending CEOs paying themselves $10-20 million a year, etc, etc, should perhaps let business do their own talking.
Of course, small isolated groups of workers and small businesses, with very little spare fat, are the sufferers in this kind of game, and John Howard is citing their plight as one of the main reasons for changes in the workplace.
But dismissal difficulties are not the main causes of the crisis of small business; they in fact stem from economic behaviour which the conservatives support and which is part of their whole philosophy.
Any of us who have become sceptical of the ability of the human spirit to soar, to transcend pettiness and hatred, and to show tolerance and understanding for one's fellows, should be reassured by John Pilger's example.
These are from clippings sent to me from Asia. My benefactor thinks Pilger is the cat's whiskers.
Thus, in the run-up to the May British election, Pilger, writing in the New Statesman on April 25, said: "By voting for Blair, you will walking over the corpses of at least 100,000 people, most of them innocent, slaughtered in defiance of international law. By voting for Blair, you will have affirmed that liars triumph." So there.
Then, on April 11, Pilger told his readers that "from the BBC's capitulation to the Israeli Government, to the rush to eulogise a deeply reactionary Pope, pressure on the media is leading to insidious new state propaganda".
The New Statesman (April 18), promoting an article by Christine Odone (one of Pilger's colleagues on the magazine), revealed: "As Britain's culture wars grow in intensity, and abortion and artistic freedom become hot issues, [Christine O.] reveals that Saudi and US funds are behind the devout religious groups that lead the offensive."
Now we know where Family First got all those BMWs. I wonder what Siggy Freud would think about all of the above?
Or this, from the Bangkok Post (July 24). A "report" from an internet source, run by the Post, has the headline: "Israel was warned ahead of first [London] blast."
The report said: "Army radio, quoting unconfirmed reliable sources, reported a short time ago that Scotland Yard had intelligence warnings of the attacks a short time before they occurred.
"The Israeli embassy in London was notified in advance, resulting in Finance Minister Netanyahu remaining in his hotel room rather than make his way to the hotel adjacent to the site of the first explosion, at Liverpool Street Station, where he was to address an economics summit.
"That story alone should warrant a thorough investigation. Who told the Israelis? Why just them?
"And why not the hapless London commuters, for God's sake?"
It was later claimed that the Israelis were notified only after the blast.
If you believe that, I have a used car to sell you.
As British investigators and media get to the bottom of what really happened on July 7, some highly unpalatable truths will emerge.
"These things do not happen just by chance," continued the report. "Chief political strategists make sure of that."
And you only have to take a walk in Brunswick to discover that the Americans and the Jews destroyed the Twin Towers ... What silly-billies we were to believe that the Arabs had done it.
The realisation that some of the terrorists being captured, or active, are Australians or have Australian citizenship, should not surprise anybody. I had expected many more local starters.
After all, there has been the almost continuous campaign of hatred, denigration and veiled calls for disloyalty running through many schools and religious centres of our Muslim community along with certain ethnic newspapers; directed at our local Muslims.
And these institutions - for many years, pre-dating Iraq or Bin Laden - are heavily funded by outside countries, hostile to Western values, even when they've been allied to countries in the West, and happy to send their youths to the fleshpots and sinbins of countries like Britain and the US for their education.
But still, there appear to be many local extremist rodents who are very disappointed at the surprisingly few local Muslims who turn up as overseas volunteers or terrorists.
But just as important has been the anti-American - and by easy extension, anti-Western - propaganda running through our schools, and our tertiary institutions, and sections of the media which date from the 1960s, followed by our legal profession and your public media, from the late 1970s on.
One part of an interlocking system of morality plays, of which the Pilger world picture is only a melodramatised version, has been the glorification of the rebel. This is the selfless character who just has to take the law into his own hands, to seek justice for his oppressed people, his co-religionists, for the downtrodden classes (who were once in the West, but are no longer, except in ex-communist countries, but are now "out there"). Our high-minded justice-seeker exacts his retribution against the wicked oppressors.
And our existentially dysfunctional new bourgeoisie cheer on any despots - as they did Stalin, then Mao, then Pol Pot, then the Third World dictators - provided these are anti-American and ruled by violence, censorship and propaganda.
Having quietly applauded earlier European terrorist groups, and eulogised the IRA until this day, these alienated Westies have adopted Muslim terrorists as just the latest heroes.
If it were possible to induce young Australians to go overseas to fight with the Taliban or Al-Qaida, our home radicals would support them. No change, really, from trying to send arms to the Viet Cong, to be used against, among others, their own countrymen.
Yet, as I said, very few starters have come up - though there are thousands of mouth-soldiers, placard-wavers, bumper-sticker commandoes. Why? Is it like joining the army? Too dangerous?
The Coalition have imprisoned, and begun to try, terrorists and suspects, either caught on the battlefield or arrested in various places. These prisoners include many foreigners, some of them Western (e.g., Australian).
In order to frustrate the West's call for their punishment - which should serve partly as a deterrent for those contemplating a career in foreign terrorism - an operation has been mounted via our media and the usual legal, "libertarian" and religious fronts.
Their message? "The US Government is illegitimate; the US court system corrupt" - unless it strikes out anti-terrorist laws or springs terrorist suspects. While military justice is supposedly by definition rigged and in defiance of international law, or whatever.
The US Military Tribunal was adjudged illegitimate even before it was set up or its terms of reference or modus operandi seriously canvassed.
This psychology of total denial is not new. Communists denied all real legality to bourgeois law, courts, parliaments or elections; and the fascists did the same.
The French Right in the 19th-century - and on to Vichy - took the same tack. The Republic was a corrupt farce; the courts their accomplices; laws were vicious property settlements - the "real" France, the "soul" of France, beat to a different stroke to the gabble-shop called democracy.
The only way those French patriots could gain power over their fellows was by inviting in the Germans, then surrendering and collaborating.
So, putting a comprehensive curse on what the Americans, and others, are doing to defend themselves, is not exactly new.
It was hoped that the Australian Government could be blackmailed into demanding the return of our prisoners held by the Americans - ideally brought back here for politicised trials and media extravaganzas which would make the Schapelle Corby legal proceedings or the Lindy Chamberlain dingo case seem like sittings of the Law Lords.
Just imagine the hacks and spivs and coached hysterics waiting for 15 minutes of fame?
But the trial is going to occur quite soon, apparently, and we can then all judge for ourselves. This is an outcome which our Left are not prepared to allow. But it does seem that they will have to accept a military justice system for a military matter, in the end.
But our local young Muslim, turning from the denigration and demonisation of the West by teachers and leaders of his own community, to seek other opinions from our secular world, will only find orchestrated contumely, conspiracy stories, and fairy-tales about history and global economics very similar to those of the mullahs and his own opinion-formers and agents of influence.
So far, we have been very lucky that so few have risen to the bait. But viva multiculturalism. | 2019-04-23T10:41:53 | http://www.newsweekly.com.au/article.php?id=2032 |

Conflict resolution is one of the toughest parts of the coordinator role. However many interests our members have in common, sometimes people just don’t get along nicely with one another. Sometimes conflicts arise between two or more people who simply have a civil difference of opinion that has sharply escalated. Often the person trying to sort all this out will be looking at two or more people with a great many resentments against each other, stored up over a long period of time. If they’ve not been able to express these resentments in the past, or if they feel that they have not been fairly treated, there is often a great deal of anger in the situation and anger is not an emotion most of us find pleasant to experience, either in ourselves or others.
Well, firstly, remember that conflict resolution is the end of a long process. A lot of the difficulties experienced in conflict resolution arise from the early stages not having been tackled in a timely manner. A Domain, as a group of people, is likely to be aware of tension between members (either individual members or subgroups) well before the ‘official process’ starts. And, one way of looking at it is that the need for conflict resolution arises out of a conflict which, in an ideal world, would have been settled before it got to this stage.
We do not, however, live in an ideal world.
According to the MES Handbook, conflict resolution comes at a late stage of the process so, before you dive into that take a look at what happened in the earlier stages (the members who have locked horns will, no doubt, remember all this in great detail). A great deal of this is covered in the Education documents, particularly those in the Ethics section.
If anyone involved in the conflict situation has broken any rule of the Society, whether In Character or Out of Character, that needs to be dealt with outside the Conflict Resolution process. Conflict resolution is for people who are not getting along when no rules have been broken.
The code of conduct, as it currently stands, is open to wide interpretation. Think about the behaviours you have seen in relation to the Code of Conduct. Some members skate very close to the edge with the Code of Conduct and it is the responsibility of the co-ordinator to ensure that it is upheld. Sometimes ‘a quiet word’ with someone who is in danger of stepping over the edge in relation to the code of conduct can prevent a conflict situation from arising (or getting worse).
Does any Member say they have been harassed?
MES has a zero tolerance harassment policy. More information about harassment in MES can be found in Coord 318: Identifying Harassment and is outside the scope of this document. However, it is vitally important to remember that harassment can be any behaviour which the person harassed finds offensive. Even if you and the majority of people present find that behaviour inoffensive. It is not for us to judge what harms another person – if a person says they are being harassed, then that claim has to be taken seriously and dealt with according to the policy.
Reading through this document and thinking about what it means for your Domain would be a very valuable exercise to undertake before you start the process of formal conflict resolution. That goes double if the social contract for your Domain is not documented anywhere.
Think about the issues between the members (as you understand them) and how those relate to the dynamic of the Domain as a whole.
You should not be drawing firm conclusions at this point – this is really to help you to identify what questions you need to ask.
More information about the social contract can be found in the Officer 135: Crafting Game Expectations- Social Contract document.
In the handbook the entire conflict resolution process is addressed to individual members, not to co-ordinators specifically. The role of a coordinator in this process would be to suggest that members undertake the conflict resolution process and.or to help and guide individual members through the steps they are advised to take to resolve their conflicts.
The handbook tells us that members should attempt to solve their interpersonal conflict by open discussion prior to involving officers or other members.
If you, as co-ordinator, are called upon to help with conflict resolution, you should check with both parties that this has been done in good faith.
As the presiding coordinator you should not hesitate to ask for a cooldown period should you have any indication that a conflict has arisen or is about to arise between members. Sometimes, if you can catch these things early enough, a ten minute break is long enough to defuse things.
More information about the cooldown period can be found in Coord 343: Cool Down Periods.
Mediation is a skill and training courses in mediation are available. We do not provide these within our Club and it is important to remember that an untrained, unskilled mediator can do more harm than good.
The Membership Handbook page 18 states that, if two members in conflict cannot resolve their issues via open discussion, they may bring in an agreed-upon third party… This whole document has been written on the assumption that the coordinator’s involvement here is as a mediator.
As a mediator it is your job to be thoroughly familiar with the failed steps that have led to mediation and with the issues perceived by both parties. At this point you should be fully aware (perhaps more aware that you want to be!) of the issues that underlie the conflict. You should, however, take the time to hear out all members involved in the conflict, ensuring that you understand all the points of view. Please bear in mind that, as we are a close-knit society, it is unlikely that you will be entirely free of conflict of interest here. You are almost certainly going to sympathise with one side rather than the other. This is why you need to think the whole thing through very carefully as we, as members and officers, are bound to treat each other fairly and with respect. Sometimes you will need to represent a view with which you disagree on behalf of someone who does not behave in a manner pleasing to you.
If there is a single point (or just a few points) of difference between people who otherwise get along well enough together, it might be possible for all of you to meet together. However, in cases of longstanding acrimony, it is often better to meet with each separately (as in shuttle diplomacy).
In either case, you should start by putting each point of view into your own (as objective as possible) words.
Remember, that if a situation like this only happens once, it’s likely to have been resolved in open discussion.
The conflict resolution process can clear up misunderstandings between people who, on the whole, are able to get on with one another. It is liable to fail in cases where there is a long history of bad feeling between people and, even if it succeeds, fresh conflicts can arise between people of incompatible views and personalities. In some cases the only solution is to have the two members avoid each other if at all possible in the future. Some problems just can’t be solved between members and further efforts will just cause more strife. | 2019-04-22T04:16:22 | https://education.mindseyesociety.org/officer-education/300-concepts-coordinating/coord-342-conflict-resolution/ |
Tokyo: Japan-based Kyocera has introduced a new “rafre” washable smartphone that features resistance to hot water and a touchscreen that be can be used even when the user’s hands are wet or when wearing gloves.
“The smartphone is a successor to the orignal DIGNO rafre, which launched in December 2015 as the world’s first hand-soap-washable smartphone. In addition to resistance against foaming hand soap, the second-generation model possesses resistance to foaming body soap,” the company said in a post on Friday.
Furthermore, the new handset is equipped with a special cooking app which allows users to scroll through recipes, set timers and answer calls through hand gestures without having to touch the display. | 2019-04-25T12:47:29 | https://www.newsx.com/science-and-technology/54106-japan-based-kyocera-introduces-new-washable-smartphone-in-japan |
The callers offer $500 travel vouchers, Costco cash cards or a reduced travel package if the resident takes a survey that asks for their personal information, prosecutors said.
The Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office issued a scam alert Monday to notify residents of phone calls from callers pretending to be from Costco Wholesale.
The callers offer $500 travel vouchers, Costco cash cards or a reduced travel package if the resident takes a survey that asks for their personal information, prosecutors said. Callers then use that information to commit identity theft.
Costco Wholesale has confirmed that the callers do not work for the company in any capacity. Though the calls may say they are coming from Contra Costa County, authorities warn that the calls are not local, but rather are made using software to hide their real location.
To report this or any telephone scam, people can call the Federal Trade Commission at (877) FTC-HELP or report it to the District Attorney's Office by emailing [email protected] or calling (866) 223-7283. | 2019-04-19T07:14:38 | https://www.sfgate.com/news/bayarea/article/Da-s-Office-Warns-Of-Costco-Scam-Calls-13221167.php |

GLENDALE — For more than 3 weeks now, students from local high schools – both private Armenian and public – have been working the phones here, volunteering every day, to raise funds for two beneficial projects of Armenia Fund’s 15th International Thanksgiving Day Telethon: construction of multifunctional community centers in Armenia and Artsakh and humanitarian relief to Syrian Armenians caught in a brutal civil war.
“On Thanksgiving Day some of our compatriots are out of town visiting their relatives in other states, some might not have a chance to watch the broadcast, so we decided to give our fellow Armenians a chance to participate by calling them directly before Thanksgiving Day. Most importantly, this is also a good chance to communicate with our donors – to educate them about Armenia Fund and its projects, and for us to hear our donors’ concerns and suggestions,” said Sarkis Kotanjian, Executive Director of Armenia Fund, U.S. Western Region.
Armenians from Texas to Minnesota, from Missouri to California are answering Armenia Fund’s call to extend a helping hand to Armenia and our Syrian Armenian brothers and sisters. Keeping Artsakh strong is an undisputed, absolute and every-day priority – a sacred duty for every Armenian as the loss of Artsakh means the loss of Armenia. At the same time, our nation is as strong as every Armenian community around the world.
Today’s “ground zero” of the Armenian Diaspora–the Syrian Armenian community–found itself caught in a violent civil war unfolding around them as they remain neutral in the internal Syrian armed conflict. With pain and sorrow every Armenian throughout the world reads news of Armenian homes, churches and schools being looted, damaged or burned, and innocent people killed or wounded. Our brothers and sisters need food, medicine and temporary shelter as well as emergency medical and other critical humanitarian assistance. Members of the Syrian-Armenian community who escaped the nightmare of war and found refuge in Armenia have similar needs.
Every dollar counts as it represents a united national front to help Armenians in places where that help is needed the most.
Armenia Fund’s 15th International Thanksgiving Day Telethon will air on November 22, beginning at 8:00am PST and broadcasting around the world for full 12 hours.
General Sponsor of Telethon 2012 include – Ardshinvestbank, Los Angeles Major Partner – Massis Kabob, Sponsor – Ameria Group. | 2019-04-22T20:54:42 | https://massispost.com/2012/11/telethon-2012-answering-the-call-of-a-fellow-armenia/ |

For tablet gaming, we highly recommend playing via the ‘instant play‘ Web browser based version, as the downloadable software offered by some of our operators can take up unnecessary space on your device.
Internet and gaming technology has enjoyed a rapid advancement in quality recently, across mobile and tablet devices, so the ‘instant play’ option is just as good as the downloadable premium software. Today, many operators choose to offer only the browser based option, because it is simpler to build, takes up no hard-drive space, and is quick and easy to access.
The modern tablets are relatively new products, with successful designs released well after the spread of online gambling. The tablet you have will, without a doubt, be compatible with each of our endorsed casino sites – the quality of the graphics, visuals and sounds will obviously depend on how late your model is (the newer, the better).
The best way to confirm that your tablet can run the games at our recommended casino sites is to open any of our online casino links from your device and see what happens. In all likelihood, you will be taken to the tablet-compatible site and will be able to play the games in practice mode until your heart is content.

Real money pokies are the most popular form of gambling online, which is why gaming developers make these types of games their priority – constantly perfecting quality, interactivity, visuals, graphics, audio, gaming features and bonuses, and all-round enjoyment.
All games are accessible in free play mode, except for some of the progressive jackpot titles, which only operate within real money mode.
For even quicker and easier access to your favourite titles, tablet users can make their own unique Web apps by navigating to their casino of choice via their Web browser, opening the in-browser settings, tapping on ‘add to home screen’ (or a variation of that option), and creating the title. Once you have completed those steps, the gambling site will pop up on your home screen as a Web app – bypass typing in URL addresses, and enjoy a larger gaming interface. You can repeat this process as many times as you wish, for as many casinos and as many individual games as you want.
You can access a range of globally trusted and secure payment methods to deposit and withdraw money, directly via your tablet.

Year: 1638. Height: 52 meters.
In Iran, in the ancient Isfahan city, which boomed in the 16th century and was a majestic capital of the Persian Empire, is the unique religious monument. In the heyday of the city, the Imam Mosque was erected for more than four centuries with the impressive size and the peculiar beauty. The height of the mosque is 52 meters. Since its foundation in 1638, it is the tallest building in the city. The general area of the building is about 20,000 square meters, which makes the mosque very majestic.
The unique feature of the mosque is not only its impressive size, but also its peculiar acoustic characteristics. When two people sit in the opposite corners of the Mosque, they will hear each other whispering effortlessly. Next to the mosque is the beautiful square, which is also used for the religious events. The experienced tourists think that it is one of the most beautiful mosques in the world. Apart from the original landscape design and the recreation areas, you can also discover a lot of interesting things on the square in front of the mosque. | 2019-04-24T07:54:18 | http://www.orangesmile.com/extreme/en/iconic-temples/imam-mosque.htm |
and as food “connoisseurs”, as I call them, they were completely offended- yet knowing their daughter, not surprised whatsoever.
All through my childhood my mom prepared all the courses, most of the time from scratch, with the meals planned through the week, and fancy-shmancy techniques and recipes and dishes (even though she never followed the recipes.. I don’t get it, I’m a structure kind of girl, not a “dash here and a pinch there” kind of girl). She always tried to pull my sisters and I into the fiasco, where I would escape to “set the table” (fierce task, if I do say so myself, and I do) and my sister would indulge in the experience (to her defense, she can now turn anything- no seriously, anything- into a gourmet art form. Ask her to make you a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and it’s going to come out with three different cheeses, garlic, and little bits of chicken mixed in. So good it’s disgusting.) Although it was decided that I would “never catch a husband” it still wasn’t enough to make me want to touch raw chicken or to try and conquer one of my greatest fears- a.k.a the spice rack.
So when I first went off to claim the world as my own, with my two-week supply of gifted goodies and snacks, I thought eating bad as a student was one of those cliches that people made fun of in movies- ya know, “O ya, the hungry college kid”- but then two-weeks later I found myself in a dorm room with only a microwave and my stomach started to growl. This is the moment where I realized my quickest and most efficient survival method, and from that moment on -for the past four years- I have been in a committed relationship with ramen noodles and peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
Yes that’s right folks, in all of my 22 years, I have never cooked a real meal beyond boiling the pasta noodles and then pouring sauce over them (pulling out the big guns, I know) and toasting some frozen garlic bread if I’m trying to be real impressive. Works every time.
So, while I prepared for my graduation, my parents set out on a journey to establish my humble abode to any respectable level of sophistication in the category of creating simple cuisine (although, I personally think it was an attempt to inspire me to at least, “try”). They bought all the mixing gear, a knife set, a little skillet because according to my dad, “everyone needs an expensive skillet that they’ll take with them when they get married as a memento from their ‘single days’”, and the coveted- crock pot, among other things.
The brink of 2011 has come and gone and we are well into the first month. During this transition of a new year and a new season as a “big girl” I am embarking on a quest to gain a some what well-rounded knowledge of the kitchen. Nothing extensive- let’s not get crazy now– just a cooking 101 status.
Yes, it’s true, I am vowing to go beyond ‘playing the sport because I want to wear the cute uniform’, i.e. playing with the fun cooking gadgets in Target, and trying my hand at the ole stove top. | 2019-04-23T11:01:20 | https://hdodson.wordpress.com/2011/01/27/the-kitchen-chronicles/ |

McGuire Sponsel minimizes filing and maintenance burdens for clients, while maximizing commissions and tax savings. Our IC-DISC team identified an opportunity for a food processor and distributor. With $10 million in international sales, the business regularly exports goods. The client was previously only reaching a commission number of $295,000 using the simple calculation. When McGuire Sponsel received more sales detail and ran a transaction-by-transaction calculation, we were able to generate a commission of $680,000. This increased the commission by $385,000, which increased the tax benefit by approximately $60,000.
If a U.S. business regularly exports products or services, an IC-DISC may provide substantial tax savings.

Your reporting is a nightmare. It is more than obvious you have never followed Fordham mens basketball. If you had you would get your facts straight. Pecora is not a good coach he jerks his players in and out so that there is never a rhythm. Because of the coach there is no cohesion, it’s not because they don’t have the talent. Even if you don’t follow a team, if you are going to comment on how they play, maybe you should actually look at the numbers. You are very bad!!!!!
Wow–is Donny Marshall an idiot. He actually thinks Galloway’s push-off was not a foul. You need better analysts than this, NBC! | 2019-04-26T08:46:09 | http://sportsmedianews.com/nbc-sports-groups-live-coverage-of-atlantic-10-mens-basketball-championship-tips-off-on-thursday/ |
President Moon Jae-in on Wednesday emphasized that innovative and inclusive growth can only be achieved when there’s more fairness in the economy.
He said in order to achieve a fair economy, it is important for conglomerates to take responsibility, adding that the National Pension Service will actively exercise its stewardship code if the families controlling conglomerates violate the law.
“If we fail to protect innovative ideas and products, innovation will be buried,” Moon said at a strategy meeting for a fairer economy. A similar meeting was held last year.
He said the best social safety net is a fair economy.
The meeting was attended by Blue House policy chief Kim Soo-hyun, Fair Trade Commission Chairman Kim Sang-jo, Finance Minister Hong Nam-ki, Trade, Industry and Energy Minister Sung Yun-mo and the head of the Democratic Party’s policy committee, Cho Jeong-sik.
In the meeting, Moon particularly emphasized the role of conglomerates.
“Co-existence in the economy is something that must be achieved in order to achieve conglomerates’ innovative growth,” Moon said. “The government has continuously worked on improving ownership governance structures in order to strengthen the transparency and responsibility of conglomerate management.
Moon said as a result of the government’s effort, cross shareholding practices by conglomerates has dropped significantly last year. He also praised the Justice Ministry’s performance last year in collecting 4.4 billion won ($3.9 million) in fines in 25 cases of collusion in tender offers.
Currently, the National Pension Service is weighting whether it will invoke its stewardship code against Hanjin Group’s founding family, the Chos.
The NPS is the third-largest shareholder of Hanjin Kal, the holding company of Hanjin Group, owning 7.34 percent. Hanjin Group Chairman Cho Yang-ho and his family are the largest shareholders, with a 28.93 percent stake, while the Korea Corporate Governance Improve (KCGI), an activist fund, is the second largest with 10.71 percent.
The main issue is whether to re-elect Cho Yang-ho as chairman of the group’s flagship company Korean Air. His current term ends in March.
The Cho family, including the chairman’s wife and two daughters, are accused of various violations of the law including smuggling and embezzlement.
The NPS is also the second-largest stakeholder of Korean Air with a 11.56 percent stake, while Hanjin Kal holds the largest stake of 33.35 percent. KCGI owns 8.03 percent of the airline.
If the NPS votes against extending Cho Yang-ho’s term, it will be the first time the stewardship code is put into practice since it was adopted last July.
Sohn Kyung-shik, chairman of the Korea Employers Federation, on Tuesday, raised concerns over the NPS’s stewardship code. | 2019-04-18T23:03:08 | http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=3058575&cloc=etc%7Cjad%7Cgooglenews |
Here’s a little secret: good design is little more than knowing how to line things up and which colors work together. There are a lot of people in this world who can make something pretty.
But I’m not here to focus on good design. I’m here to craft an absolutely amazing web. “Great” isn’t even a qualitative enough term. “Absolutely smashing” might be getting us there. So how do we go from pretty pictures to absolutely smashing design?
Users first. That means we want to make sure that the people who come to your website instantly know what your site is about, what they can do next, and what they should do next.
Goals, goals, goals. Every single web page should have a purpose. To drive customers your way, specifically to get them to call you, buy a product, fill out a form, sign up for your newsletter…whatever it is, the page should make it easy for users to accomplish this and make them want to take that action!
There’s a lot more to it, of course. Research, experience, great content and, yes, pretty pictures. That’s how you get the full package.
Sometimes you know what you’re trying to do, other times it’s all a little too technical or overwhelming to do on your own. I’m here to help. My Web Design process begins with us determining what your site’s goals are, getting the essential tools together, and building as solid a foundation of a plan as possible so we’re not architects working without a blueprint.
Whether you’re looking for the flat, clean look that the web seems to love these days or something a little more personalized, we can work together to get you the best site possible. Have a look at my work to see if you think we might be a good fit. I have extensive experience with branding, both working within existing branding guidelines as well as beginning to shape a brand from the straps of your boots and pulling up. We’ll assess what you want your site to do for you, what you want it to do for your users, and work the perfect blend of the two together. I also offer unlimited design revisions with my complete Web Design package.
Handcrafted HTML5 ensures your site will be built with tomorrow’s technology today, giving your new site not only longevity (a rare thing in the www.world), but a better than average chance of succeeding with the search engines right out of the box. Add to that baked in accessibility and support for all of the major browsers (that is, the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome and Safari, as well as Safari on iPhone and the most recent two versions of Internet Explorer), and you’re in a winx2 situation.
Furthermore, every step of the way your site will be built on open-source platforms—from PHP on your server to WordPress at your fingertips—ensuring that your code, and your data, is yours to do whatever you want with it. You’re never locked into a particular developer, hosting company, or proprietary platform.
For those clients who have an ongoing or larger budget, the opportunities for getting even more bang for your buck just start once your new site is complete.
Where a new site with leaner code and a more tailored design will get you showing up higher in the search results and more often, keep your users hanging around your site and direct them to achieve the goals you want, fine tuning everything is almost as essential as the initial process.
We tweak copy, imagery, button placement…big and small changes alike can have a massive difference on how likely people are to contact you, buy your products, or read more of your site.
The power of the world’s most widely used and user friendly Content Management System is packed into every site that I build. Create and manage your site’s content–including images, videos, maps, blog posts and more–from anywhere you can get online. No more waiting, no more expensive payments to make simple updates, just easy to use, powerful software built to suit. More on my WordPress services and experience.
Every site I create has SEO baked right into it, because I make every effort to ensure that your code is valid, meets Web Standards, and is organized properly to make it as easy as possible for Google and the boys to figure out just how valuable your content is. I build tools directly into WordPress to give you greater control over the fate of your website, and also offer free advice on how SEO works in general. And yes, I do XML site maps with every new site I build. Learn more about my SEO services.
Most of my clients write their own copy, but for those of you who just don’t feel that comfortable behind a keyboard, I’m there for you. I’ve been writing since my mom accidentally swallowed a typewriter while I was still in the womb, and have a bit of a knack for it. Just ask!
Whether you just want the basics–your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, etc. pages to be automatically updated for you based on your site’s content–or are looking for a full service social networking strategy and implementation (i.e., I keep up your social networking sites, actively growing you friends and followers), I do social networking.
Heck, I can even create you your own mini-social network.
Google Analytics is included with every site I build, giving you even more control over your site’s destiny. Who is visiting which pages, where should I focus my efforts, where do my users come from, how long do they stick around for, are they viewing my site from their computer or iPhone? All of these questions and more, plus Adwords integration, reporting and so many additional tons of advanced features, you’ll feel like gravity itself.
I also offer “Analyzing your Analytics” services, where I can view your site’s stats and see where you’re weak and where you’re strong, helping you to focus your efforts or rethink your strategy altogether.
I am available to provide support to all of my clients indefinitely after the completion of a project. Whether you just need a quick email helping to explain how something works, or you require a few hours of coding to provide some additional functionality, we’re good to go. I’ve been doing this Web Design thing for over 15 years now, and it’s been good enough to allow my family and I to travel extensively, plus keep us all in food, shelter and fun times, so I won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Have a question? Just ask!
Nathan has been great to work with. Responsive, straightforward, and clear. Highly recommended on all counts! | 2019-04-19T04:58:30 | https://clicknathan.com/design/ |

This course will cover all the basics of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Everyone involved in international trade has a responsibility to protect the business from violations. Due diligence, training, auditing, and reporting suspected violations to company officials is everyone's responsibility. This includes finance, tax, legal, supply chain, and IT professionals at every level. While it is common to see large companies get fines and penalties, it is import to know that all companies are subject to the laws. It is the intent to break the law not the amount involved in violations that is prosecuted. Corporate tax and finance are the first line of defense, but everyone needs to be vigilant. | 2019-04-23T04:12:27 | https://www.compliancekey.us/webinarDetails?industryId=7&webinarid=734&speakerid=125 |
Our Professional Practices team have particular expertise in advising general medical practitioners on the terms of their medical partnership agreements and on partnership issues generally.
It is extremely important in our view that general medical practices which are structured as partnerships do have a properly drafted medical partnership agreement in place and that this is kept up to date as circumstances change. The BMA Guidance on this subject contains similar recommendations.
Various problems can arise in practice if there is either no partnership agreement in place or if the agreement is inadequate or has not been updated to include new partners or other changes. For example, if the practice does not have a written partnership agreement then a "partnership at will" can arise governed by the archaic provisions of the Partnership Act 1890. This can have unwelcome consequences such as giving any partner the right to dissolve the partnership on notice or triggering an automatic dissolution of the partnership on the death of a partner.
If a new partner joins the practice but does not formally sign up to the partnership agreement then it may be difficult for the existing partners to hold that new partner to the terms of that agreement if there is a dispute in the future.
Where the practice includes partners who are not general practitioners then some of the provisions in the Partnership Agreement may not be appropriate to them. Ideally the agreement should make clear where particular provisions only apply to some of the partners but not all of them.
Although many of the issues which apply to medical partnership agreements apply equally to other types of professional partnership, there are particular aspects which are unique to medical partnerships which need to be considered. For example, the terms of the partnership need to be considered in conjunction with the practices’ GMS or PMS contract and the implications if a partner retires or dies. The agreement also needs to make clear which income will be treated as partnership income as against the personal income of individual partners, and likewise which expenses will be charged to the practice or to an individual partner. Particular arrangements apply for the funding of pensions under the NHS scheme which will apply to the partners and staff of the practice and these need to be properly addressed in the partnership agreement. Very often medical partnership agreements will include particular provisions for study leave, sabbaticals, maternity leave and other absences with the requirement for locums to be appointed to cover. These arrangements and the funding implications arising in each case all need to be considered.
Many GP practices will own the freehold of their surgery although the capital value and any associated loans may sometimes only be held by some of the partners in the practice rather than all of them. It is essential that the partnership agreement clearly sets out how a partner’s interest in the surgery will be dealt with if he or she retires or dies so as to avoid disruption to the practice but also to ensure that the outgoing partner receives a fair value for it. This may involve giving the continuing partners an option to purchase the outgoing partner’s interest at market value based on specified criteria or assumptions.
Our Professional Practices team not only include lawyers who have expertise in drafting partnership agreements and other ancillary partnership documentation, but also lawyers with experience of dealing with partnership disputes should an issue arise which the partners cannot easily resolve between themselves.
We also have specialist lawyers covering areas such as tax, property, pensions and employment law all of which are relevant for general medical practices. | 2019-04-25T06:25:49 | https://www.hewitsons.com/service/corporate/professional-practices |
“Tonight the Supertrooper beams are gonna blind me……” Can NOT get that song out of my head as I am in a state of happy exhaustion after our High School Production of Mamma Mia this past weekend. The show was incredible–our cast really outdid themselves with their extraordinary performances. We had a gift in our show weekend this time, as we were the ONLY cast in the Emelin. We usually have to share the stage with another one of our shows in rep or another booking by the Emelin. But we were the only cast on their stage for four days, allowing us to actually build a set, which was extraordinarily designed by Lance Hallowell (who also designs Horseman’s Hollow for the Hudson Valley at Halloween.) Our costumes, from Donald Birely, were magnificent and our lighting design by Erin O’Brien was gorgeous.
This particular group of kids ALWAYS come through, but the weekend was especially special for me. First off, this semester, I got to work with my dear friend, Megan Osterhaus, who graduated with me from the musical theater program at the University of Central Oklahoma a few years back. Megan has gone on to an illustrious Broadway career that has included “Mary Poppins,” “Les Miserables” and of course, “Mamma Mia.” So, not only did I get to be on the other side of table with this amazing artist that I had spent so much time with, but my students got to do the original Broadway choreography for this show. What a dream!
However, the culmination of the weekend came at the final show, when Megan’s mother and my mentor and college voice teacher, Kay Creed, was present in the audience. While she had been to the studio, Miss Creed had never seen one of my shows and so to have her there watching my students, was truly a full circle moment for me. I knew while studying with her that she was brilliant and I knew over the course of my career that I had learned so much from her. But when I began teaching, it didn’t take long to realize that the words I used to pass on my knowledge of the craft came from her. Miss Creed gave me the language that I continue to use to this day to speak to my students. I shared that with the audience that day, as I introduced Miss Creed before the show.
In the final moments of post-show flowers, amidst tears and joy, one of my Seniors, Rachel, took the microphone and shared with the audience, that while the language I speak was Miss Creed’s, the language that she has learned to speak, came from me. I was blown away.
This is the magic of theater. The gifts that are given from generation to generation are priceless. To have an inpact on young artists is more than I could ever dreamed of, as a young student in Miss Creed’s studio. I will never forget this weekend, as long as I live. And I am honored and privileged to call this my life’s work.
It’s casting season once again at Artistree and as I’m in the midst of casting four shows in two weeks, I have a few things to say on the subject. Casting is one of the most wonderful and most horrible parts of my job. The gleeful emails make me smile and the tough emails bring me to tears. I have said this before–in class, in the blog, in the studio–casting is a like putting together a puzzle. And the puzzle only fits together with pieces you are given–essentially, the members of the cast. A different puzzle is going to have different pieces in any given production. But for this moment in time, the creative team has the job of trying to make these particular pieces (actors) fit together.
In the end, I would say to every parent and child to trust the process. I say those words, (as many of you know) to my students before every performance. But I would encourage you to think about that phrase from the first audition. Trust that you or your child is being put exactly where they are supposed to be at THIS moment. And throughout the process, can you make your mantra, “what can I learn from this?” If you’re given an ensemble role, what else can you learn when you’re not working? Can you study the performances or the direction being given? Can you tell when an actor is actually TAKING direction? So much is to be learned by watching the process–sometimes even more than the doing.
Think about this as the casting for your show is released. Take a moment to breathe before you approach your creative team and see if you can trust the process that is underway. I assure you, taking that challenge, will be the greatest learning experience of all.
As Fall approaches and the temperatures drop (finally), I am usually so excited for the start of school and the start of our Fall season here at Artistree. However this year, it’s slightly bittersweet, as the studio is missing three faces that have been us for ten years. They are our first group of graduating Seniors, who are now Freshmen in college. And it was just this time last year that we were scrambling to get their prescreen tapes done, weeding through each schools individual requirements and helping calm their nerves as they waiting for their early decision choices.
Things have certainly changed since I was accepted into my Musical Theater program. And now that I am watching my most beloved students making this very big decision, I want to impart some of the wisdom that I have learned on the other side.
I would absolutely recommend attending a summer theater program at one of the prestigious colleges the summer between your junior and senior year. Northwestern, Michigan and Carnegie-Mellon are just a few of the wonderful programs that offer summer intensives that can enhance your child’s chances of getting into one of these schools. They are able to work with and be seen by the faculty of these schools, which can be huge come decision time. Plus, the creative experience and training they receive is unparalleled.
Private coaching is a must for someone applying to a good theater school. Gone are the days where you can walk in green. These days, excellent vocal, dance and acting technique are required JUST TO GET AN AUDITION. Do not rely on natural talent. You must study privately with excellent teachers as soon as possible.
After all is said and done, if you have done the work, you have sit back and trust that you will be put where you are supposed to be. That’s how the universe works. And your special and unique artistic talents are going to shine through and be vital to the program that you are selected for.
Being an artist is not an easy road. But if there’s nothing else you can ever see yourself doing, then work hard, prepare, and trust. Your future and an amazing college journey awaits you.
As August is here and summer is slowing coming to an end, I start to think about the beginning of a new school year. The excitement, anticipation and often dread that comes with change brings a spark to the air. And often, it causes my older students to start thinking about what they want to do in college and for many, that answer is musical theater.
If that is the case for your child in any way, shape or form, let me lay out what must be done in order for them to get into a highly respected and beneficial program. YOU HAVE TO START DANCING NOW. No if, ands or buts, get their butts to ballet. I feel as if I say this until I’m blue in the face, but after having spent the majority of last fall working to get students into programs, I was reminded of what I always knew–that if you want a career in musical theater, you have to be able to dance.
Now, I’m not talking about being a prima ballerina. But coordination and familiarity with each style of dance is crucial. When you go to your college audition, the choreographer may very well TELL you the sequence of movements, NOT show you. Therefore, you have to be familiar with the language that they use. Taking ballet makes that happen. Ballet is your foundation, with which other styles can be built upon.
Artistree is one of the few studios that offers dance for musical theater for ages 7th-12th grade. I completely understand that your 14 year old doesn’t want to take ballet with a bunch of 7 year olds. So if it’s not here, then find somewhere they can start to get basic technique, which will build their confidence overall as a performer. The awareness of their body and the space around them only lends itself to any acting or vocal technique they may already have. Trust me, they will be so glad they put on those dancing shoes.
You auditioned well, you got the part and you’ve been killing it in rehearsals. Now it’s tech week and your show is around the corner. How do you make sure you ready to go physically AND mentally? A few additions to your normal routine can ensure that you give the performance of a lifetime and have a blast while doing it, no matter your age OR level of experience.
The water you drink 48 hours before your show is the water that hydrates you in the performance–NOT the bottle you chug right before you go on stage. Up your water intake at least two weeks before. Singers should be drinking at least a half gallon per day. (And honestly, you should work up to one gallon.) If you wait until the day of your show to drown yourself, you’ll just end up having to pee a lot while in costume. Start drinking that water now and getting used to it early on in the process.
So, it’s inevitable that someone will get sick show week. But that someone does NOT have to be you. I am a HUGE proponent for holistic treatments in general, but for performers I feel they are a must. Stay off sugar (which multiplies sick cells) and caffeine (which dries out your throat.) If you see a chiropractor, go get adjusted. Drink lots of herbal tea, eat well and don’t stay up screaming on the phones with your friend the night before your show! Eating clean and taking care of your health will help you in every area of your life, including your performances.
Nothing is better for the voice than rest. So I suggest not just getting enough sleep the week of a show, but EXTRA if you can. Now, I know that can be difficult with late nights in the theater, but sneak some extra ZZs when you can. Sleep helps the body to rid itself of inflammation. And swollen vocal cords can be a problem when you’re about to sing for 2-3 hours straight.
This might the most important. You have the ability to mentally make or break your performance. So, turn on those positive vibes and trust yourself! If you’ve done your work along the way, you are ready to go. Get EXCITED about the amazing opportunity you have in front of you to share your passion with the world. I like to say the following mantras to my casts before their shows: “Trust yourself, trust the music, trust the process, trust each other.” Say a little prayer if that works for you or take some deep breaths. Visualize what you want this performance to be and how you want it to go. Know that you were cast for a reason–because YOU were the person that was meant to tell this story. Revel in that and go out there and knock ‘em dead!
If you do these four steps prior to your show, I can assure you, you’ll not only be show ready, but you will most likely will have the performance that you have dreamed of. Break-a-leg! I know you can do it.
February and March mean the start of camp season at Artistree and I sit watching these amazing kids spend 6 hours with us every day, I feel so very blessed. The studio is filled with singing, dancing, laughter and slime–the art project of choice these days. And as I look around, I realize that all this glorious noise is coming from such a wide variety of kids. We definitely have hard-core theater kids, but we also have campers who are more reserved or ones that are just creative who want to be around that kind of environment.
Camp is a wonderful place to introduce your child to theater. And believe me, theater camp is NOT just for theater kids. Camp is always a more laid-back environment than the normal school year rehearsal process here at Artistree. You include additional snack and lunch time, arts and crafts, field trips and just FUN. Without the normal pressure of putting on “big” shows, camp can be a time for kids to find their confidence onstage and “test the waters” if you will, while experiencing how awesome theater can be. Spring and summer breaks are more laid- back, as they WELL should be, considering how our children have to self-regulate so much on a daily basis as school. This laid-back attitude translates into theater camp as well, making it a wonderful introductory experience.
Many parents like to rotate their weeks in the summer and introduce their kids to lots of different activities. If this is you, then you should definitely put theater in the mix. Even if your child leans more toward sports or science, give them the opportunity to improve their communication skills and learn the great art of storytelling through theater camp. I can guarantee you, they will love it, jazz hands and all.
It was the first day of Spring and it was snowing in Mamaroneck….again. My husband keeps reminding me this is the northeast, NOT Oklahoma. And while my mind knows that (and is very thankful,) my body thinks it’s supposed to be 60 degrees outside. But alas, at least this time, I’m sitting in my own living room.
Yes, we were one of the families who lost their power for 9 days in the last nor’easter. A 150 year old tree in our next door neighbors’ yard came up from the roots and crashed into the power lines. That was Friday, March 2 at 2:30 PM. Our power went out and did not return until Saturday, March 10 at 4:00 PM.
When I was 25, I was performing on a Royal Caribbean Cruise Line ship that crashed in the Caribbean. We were stuck on the island of St. Maarten for 3 days before being able to fly back to the US with no water and no electricity. That was nothing compared to dragging two children from house to house for 9 days, making trips to the gas station 3 times a day to keep the generator filled (that we finally were able to buy on Tuesday so our basement didn’t flood,) packing, unpacking and repacking daily in a freezing cold house. Oh–and try to run a business and teach classes.
Well, the first Sunday after two nights away from home, I had to play Elsa at a Princess Party. You can imagine how happy I was about that. I was exhausted, sleep-deprived and annoyed. Being cheery and singing “Let It Go” was the LAST thing I wanted to do. And yet, that two hours, was some of the best of the whole week. The birthday girl was adorable and the family was so kind and wonderful. I was able to escape real life for a short time. I had no idea how badly I needed to do that.
As the week wore on and after crashing at four other houses, we finally ended up in a hotel. I just needed space and the ability to yell at my children if I needed to. (Moms–you know what I’m talking about.) I now had to prep for my performance workshops at the Courtyard Marriott. Again–teaching was not what I wanted to do. I had no energy, no focus, no creative juice left inside me. I wanted to cry because I what I REALLY wanted to do was GO HOME. At this point, there was no sign of when that would be happening. This was Friday and the last Con-Ed truck we had seen was on Monday.
My point in all of this is that throughout this ordeal, I was reminded of the importance of art and theater, in a crisis. By watching witnessing or being a part of something artistic, we are able to open ourselves up to another story and perhaps, put our situations in perspective. Art gives us hope, makes us think. And it’s just plain fun. It certainly helped me not to lose my mind completely as the displaced Capelles traveled around that cold and trying week. I think the next time this happens, I will book a hotel in the city and get tix to three Broadway shows. Now THAT would make me smile. Even with no power.
Continuing our season of auditions at Artistree, casting can be my most and least favorite part of producing a show. I love seeing what my students bring to the table–the choices they make, the performances that surprise me and the work they put into each and every role. But inevitably, there can only be one person in each part and because of that, disappointment is bound to ensue. And while disappointment is completely natural, how you deal with it can make or break your experience in a show.
I tell my students that if you are not happy with your part, you are allowed to put a picture of my face on your wall and throw darts or tomatoes at it for 24 hours. Feel your feelings–get mad, be sad and own what’s inside you. But after that, it’s time to take a breath, shake it off and be part of the ensemble. Thank your director for the part you did receive and if you are curious, ask what you could have done differently or what you could be working on. (This should come from the student, NOT the parent.) Be gracious and be open. Some of the most fun and certainly some of the most educational moments in my theater career took place when I was NOT the lead. But that’s because I was open to the experience before me. There is so much to be gained by being an active participant in the storytelling. Every single person in a show is like a puzzle piece. And just like when one piece of the puzzle is gone and you see a gaping hole, when one person isn’t fully invested in the play, you see the hole. So, actors–DON’T BE THE HOLE!
I find that another huge component of how my students deal with disappointment in casting is how parents react–especially in my younger students. Everyone wants to be Annie. But somebody has to be Sandy. If you, as a parent, dwell on what your child DIDN’T get, then that’s the attitude they will have. On the flip side, if you approach whatever role your child gets as an amazing opportunity to learn more about theater, have a BLAST and do what they love, then they’re more likely to “get over it” pretty quickly.
As I have said before, theater kids make the most resilient adults, because they learn to deal with this disappointment thing early on. And your help, as a parent, can help them figure it out even faster. And at the end of the day, if they are happy, then we’ve all done our jobs.
It’s audition season at Artistree! This is one of my favorite times of the year at the studio. It feels like a fresh start for everyone where we get to see the growth of our students and meet the new, enthusiastic faces who join us as well. No matter what role you had in the previous show, the slate is wiped clean for everyone. I always look forward to auditions because no matter what the show is, someone auditioning ALWAYS surprises me. Casting is one of my favorite parts of the job, but it can also be one of the most frustrating, when I see students not performing to their potential due to lack of preparation or knowledge.
Therefore, I wanted to give a few tips on how to knock it out of the park on ANY audition–whether it’s your school play, here at Artistree or in a professional setting.
#1. The audition starts the MOMENT you walk into the room.
The casting team behind that table makes a judgment about you the moment you walk into the room. So be your very best, but NATURAL self. Be YOU! (Though a smile and pleasant attitude goes a LONG way.) You might give the best read or sing your face off, but if YOU as a person don’t come across as someone easy to work with, I can guarantee you’ll get passed over for the role. No divas allowed!
#2. Success = OPPORTUNITY PLUS PREPARATION.
Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared. Don’t wait until the night before to start practicing your audition material. Do your research. Read the play. Know the soundtrack. Understand the characters. An overnight success in the business is rarely that. It’s a person who DOES THE WORK so when the opportunity presents itself, they are ready!
#3. Be nice to the pianist.
I know I’m a little biased on this one, but making the pianist your best friend is the smartest thing you can do. (Next to marrying one.) Be sure your binder of music looks clean and that your music is inside plastic sheet protectors. Make sure the music is in the RIGHT key and that where to start and stop are marked clearly. (Not everyone can transpose on sight like Peter Capelle.) And be nice. The person on those keys usually has as much a say in casting as anyone.
#4. Audition like the role is yours.
This audition may be the only chance you get to show the creative team what you’ve got. Don’t hold back. Give it everyone ounce of energy and excitement you have. Make them see that you’re the ONLY one they could give it to. Be confident and self-assured.
I can’t tell you how many auditions (hello–can we say dance calls?) I’ve faked my way through because my face was selling it the whole time. If they ask you to do something you know you’re not very good at, who CARES! Show them your personality and let your inner light shine. And if you make a mistake, so what? Most of time if you don’t let on that you messed up, they will NEVER know. OR–they’ll be so impressed with how you recovered that they’ll cast you anyway.
And when it’s all said and done, remember–auditioning is subjective. A different casting director might cast things completely differently. If you don’t get the part, it doesn’t mean you’re not talented. It means that this time, they went in another direction. Be grateful you got to explore a new character and then (in the words of my friend, Christian Duhumel,) move on.com. I can assure you, your time is coming.
Should I enroll my child in an acting class?
I get this from parents all the time: “should I enroll my child in an acting class?” Or “should my child do theater?” Being a proud theater nerd, my answer would ALWAYS be YES!! But the deep-seated knowing that I have about why theater is important might not resonate with everyone. (Just as your love of lacrosse is lost on me….) But after 30 years of performing and teaching, here is why I think you should enroll your child in an acting class.
Acting is just communicating. Speaking. Having a conversation. And don’t we all want our kids to be able to carry on an intelligible conversation? Better yet, don’t we want them to be able to stand up in front of a crowd and voice their opinion with ease and confidence? By teaching communication through the guise of “acting,” kids get to create characters, make-believe and become someone else. And sometimes that’s an easier way to get them to speak up.
Another reason to take an acting or theater class is that your theater friends are your best friends–most of the time for life. I don’t know if it’s the storytelling, the fact that you have to open up and be vulnerable when you perform or that some theater kids don’t feel like they fit in in the other areas of their life, but when they can be together, a bond is formed like nothing else. I had a mom tell me today that the only thing that motivates her daughter in school is the threat of taking away her Artistree Performance Workshop class. When she asked her why, she said, “it’s my home, my safe place and nobody judges me there.” That’s the power of theater, folks.
And lastly, taking an acting class and creating characters makes you a more empathetic human being. You learn to stand in someone else’s shoes and understand why they think the way they think, move the way they move, speak the way they speak, feel the way the feel. And in that process, you learn to better understand why they do the things they do. If we could all have that trait, we might have a more peaceful and palatable world.
Therefore, all children and politicians should take an acting class. And maybe some regular adults too. Either way, acting and performing help you to be your best self, hopefully on and off the stage. And isn’t that what we all want for our children?
How does a girl from a town of 100 people end up owning a performing arts studio in Westchester County, New York? Well, sometimes I wonder myself. My name is Heather Capelle and I’m the owner of Artistree Performing Arts in Mamaroneck. But I was born and raised a long way from here–in a little town with no stoplights and more cattle than people–Nash, Oklahoma. It was my grandparents that instilled a love of musical theater in me and created this strange little being who was singing the soundtrack to “Camelot” while driving a tractor. I always knew I was coming to New York and I always knew I wanted to perform. But I always felt different from everyone around me.
By the time I was 17, I’d sung for the President in an arena of 40,000 people. So, moving away from home didn’t scare me one bit. I moved to Florida to work for Disney with a job and a suitcase–no place to live and no way to get to work. But I knew I’d figure it out.
My first job in New York City (because I realized that $2K doesn’t last that long) was for Martin Charnin, the director and lyricist of the Broadway classic “Annie.” (Yes, he coined the phrase “the sun’ll come out tomorrow.”) No, I wasn’t performing–I was the assistant to the conductor for a production of Gershwin’s “Strike Up the Band” that he was directing. We rehearsed in the Columbia Artists building across from Carnegie Hall, so even though my job consisted of making copies and going to Starbucks, I thought I had MADE it. In the rehearsal process, he asked my very enthusiastic self where I was from and I told him the whole story. He looked at me and said “that’s a show.” And my one-woman show that ran for two years, Special Skills, was born and a dear friendship and mentorship was born.
When that job was over, I knew I needed another one. All my friends waited tables. Well, the thought of being a waitress in New York City was the most frightening concept I had ever envisioned. So, I decided to try something far less scary–teaching children musical theater.
Aside from farming, my father was teacher and my mother was a speech pathologist in the public schools. Therefore I was NEVER going to be a teacher. But when I saw my first cast of kids onstage having such success and SO much fun, I got a high that I don’t think I ever experienced performing myself.
I continued to teach for a company in NYC and eventually opened up a branch in Mamaroneck–where Artistree is today. We moved our family there, created a community and really made our lives in this “friendly village.” But when the owner wanted to shut down the studio, I knew the only thing I could do was convince her to sell it to me. Luckily she did. And Artistree was born.
Throughout my younger life, the only time I felt like “myself” was onstage. It wasn’t until I had graduated from college that I truly found my “people” and that sense of belonging. Friends who loved me just as I was–big hair, loud voice, lip gloss and all. So when we started to think about what we wanted Artistree to be, I knew immediately that it had to be more than a place that produced great performers. I wanted it to be the place where young artists could come and find their “people.” And when I hear them say that Artistree is their favorite place to be or that it’s their “home,” then I know I’ve done my job.
How different my life might have been had I found my people earlier. But then again, if I had, I might never have created Artistree. | 2019-04-24T08:13:30 | https://artistreearts.com/author/heather/ |
The Meeting took place at The Pop-In Centre, Crown Walk, Bicester. Thirty four members and one dog attended.
Bob introduced the speaker, Trevor Rowley, who outlined the contents of his illustrated talk.
Few substantial remnants of castles remain in Oxfordshire compared with surrounding counties. Most castles sites are centred along the Thames Valley but their pattern of distribution reflects land ownership during the Middle Ages rather than defensive considerations. Castles tended to be built for private rather than public protection i.e. the safety of the Lord, his family and followers. Some initially used existing Roman walls or Saxon defensive sites as their strong points. William 1st planned to use Saxon organisational structures to rule the country following the Conquest but by 1070 A.D. had reconsidered following uprisings that occurred in the early part of his reign. He established castles in the shire capitals where taxes could be collected and justice dispensed e.g. Oxford. The fortifications protected the new Norman Lords who had replaced Saxon nobility and were used to intimidate the local population.
The first Norman castles were of a ‘Motte and Bailey’ variety. These were in use in France prior to the invasion and formed a pattern for castle construction in Britain. The Motte consisted of a mound, with a well as water source, and a tower placed on top of it. The Bailey consisted of a protected enclosure adjoining the Motte and housed the workshops, living quarters, stables etc. for the castle. Such castles are illustrated on ‘The Bayeux Tapestry’ and could be built quickly using local materials of turf and timber. Stone replaced timber constructions at a later stage. Large numbers of these castles were constructed on the Welsh borderlands and in South Wales. Many had a short life span and were not replaced. Wallingford and Oxford Castles were timber constructions at a time when William marched towards London, following the Battle of Hastings. He took a cautious approach in following a route that finally led to the occupation of London by way of Wallingford and the Chilterns.
Wallingford Castle, the best preserved castle site in Oxfordshire, developed from a Saxon Burh site and was where William negotiated the surrender of south east England, including Winchester, where the Treasury was located at that time. The castle was much smaller than at present but still covered a quarter of the town’s area. The castle remained important throughout the Middle Ages but was extended in the C12th. Saxon properties were covered by the castle structure and the road into the town diverted to accommodate the defence’s expansion. Excavations in 1970’s revealed the cob walls of the original town buildings beneath the fortifications. Stone was robbed from the site when the castle fell into disrepair as there was a shortage of natural stone in the county for building purposes.
Oxford Castle has been the site of recent important excavations, with Saxon structures revealed under the fortifications. St George’s Tower still remains, and is pre Conquest, being incorporated into the castle as it developed. A Crypt exists beneath the Tower. A significant mound was constructed and a large Bailey at the site. Marshy conditions formed a defensive barrier to the west and south of the castle and a stone causeway was built to cross the old ford at Grand Pont. The former prison on the site is currently being redeveloped.
Deddington Castle was extensive and contains a large Bailey. Originally owned by William’s half brother, Oddo, its size suggests that it might well have been used as an assembly point for troops when required. Situated on the outskirts of the village it is well away from the central core of the settlement. The castle was largely destroyed in C13th.
Chipping Norton Castle has an impressive raised enclosure. It was probably fairly important in its time.
Banbury Castle was excavated when the town centre was redeveloped in the 1970’s and lies to the north of the Market area.
Witney possesses a fortified Palace that was owned by the Bishops of Winchester. Close at hand is the site of Cogges which is a moated site once owned by Rabbard who appears on the Bayeux Tapestry.
Trevor excavated Middleton Stoney Castle some years ago. The site consisted of a low Motte and earthworks indicating a series of enclosures and Baileys. The Church, with a reconstructed Norman style Tower, was part of the site. Originally of a timber construction the castle was enhanced to have a stone Keep in the C12th although demolished a century later.
Many Oxfordshire castles were redundant by the end of the C12th. Their up keep was expensive. Moated Manor Houses later developed, more as a fashion statement rather than for defensive requirements e.g. Broughton Castle.
Trevor concluded his talk at 8:45 pm and responded to questions from the floor. Bob thanked the speaker for an interesting and informative talk. Refreshments were served after the Meeting. | 2019-04-20T16:13:34 | https://blhs.org.uk/index.php?mact=BLHS_Talks,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01talk_id=61&cntnt01returnid=23 |

The process of serving food and drinks has an impact on how it tastes.
And this fact applies for hot chocolate as well. A group of scientists from Europe has found that the best way to drink hot chocolate is in an orange cup. As per the research, people who drank the drink in orange cups felt better flavors when compared to drinking it in other cups.
“The color of the container where food and drink are served can enhance some attributes like taste and aroma,” Betina Piqueras-Fiszman of the Polytechnic University of Valencia noted. | 2019-04-20T01:11:31 | http://food.thecookbk.com/drink-hot-chocolate-orange-cups/ |

There is a select group of people in my life that, with a conversation over a cup of java, make me feel smarter and wiser. Randal Rauser is one of those people. I have had the privilege of sitting down with him on several occasions over coffee talking life, movies and theology and I have always left feeling smarter and wiser as a result.
Randal’s new book, The Swedish Atheist, the Scuba Diver and Other Apologetic Rabbit Trails, is a unique project, inviting the reader to listen in on one of those types of conversations. Although it deals with weighty apologetic subjects, it does so comfortably and conversationally, making it approachable for the average reader. Using inviting language and playful prose, Randal invites the reader to eavesdrop on a thoughtful conversation over a cup of coffee.
If you are interested in exploring the current apologetic debate, this book will help introduce you to the conversation in an inviting way without compromising the content of the arguments. Randal demonstrates his unique blend of gifts through this book: his vast knowledge, his ability to teach and his writing skills. This unique blend creates an inviting aroma that warmly and inclusively invites the reader to join the conversation.
*Note: Although the good people at IVPress, as part of the book’s promotion, mailed a complementary copy of this book to me, at no time was I obligated to write a positive review. | 2019-04-22T04:12:47 | http://bryceashlinmayo.com/2013/01/book-review-the-swedish-atheist-the-scuba-diver-and-other-apologetic-rabbit-trails/ |

If you’re heading to Petrolia’s Victoria Playhouse for a matinee, enjoy lunch first at Streets Eatery, 4124 Petrolia Line. Or come for dinner after the matinee or before the evening performance, they will ensure you enjoy your day out. I found the service friendly and fast, and the servers very accommodating.
Streets Eatery offers a wide variety on their menu, but they are known for being Petrolia’s longest standing and best pizza place. They also take pride in their steak and salmon. As well, on the menu you’ll find Italian Cuisine, Ribs, Burgers, Salads and Sandwiches. We started the meal with some piping hot potato soup. It was thick and creamy, filled with small chunks of potato and carrot, and was seasoned just right. Not too salty as so many potato soups are. Victor had their special of the day, which was a pasta dish with chicken in a blush sauce: He reported that it was very tasty. I went with the server’s recommendation and was not disappointed. I had the Asiago chicken — a hot casserole dish smothered in delicious Asiago cheese with spinach over juicy chicken breasts.
Streets Eatery offers casual dining, with rustic decor. On a Saturday night, it was crowded with happy theatre goers, so call ahead for a reservation at 519-882-1761. Certainly, the food is good and the price is right.
Like the Playhouse, Streets Eatery is closed Mondays, but open the rest of week: Tuesday and Wednesday 11:00 to 9:00; Thursday, Friday and Saturday 11:00 to 10:00; and Sunday 8:00 to 8:00. | 2019-04-23T12:17:40 | http://www.entertainthisthought.com/2016/05/05/streets-eatery-pub-petrolia |
When you mention the food of Iceland, a lot of people will say they’ve been told sordid tales of locals eating rotten shark, bulls’ testicles pickled in yogurt sauce, smoked horse meat, roasted puffins in butter sauce, and minke whale (close your eyes, Greenpeace). These are not tall tales – you can find them on the menu, especially during the national holidays that celebrate Icelandic traditions, some of which were forged during times of severe food shortages.
You never hear of people going to Iceland for the food (husband, to me: why do you think they invented Italy?), but I have to say, I have never had a bad meal in Iceland. The dietary mainstay is off-the-charts fresh and delicious, even the fare found in gas station cafeterias. Iceland is one of those more-sheep-than-people countries, so lamb is plentiful, and prepared in a variety of ways. I’ve seen it spit-fired whole at a Viking festival, boiled or roasted to death for a Sunday dinner, and grilled to medium rare perfection. They also use lamb for their thickly-sliced, spicy, fatty salami, which would make a vegetarian cringe. I’ve been told the main ingredient in the hot dogs (pylsa) is lamb and pork. (And we know how I feel about those.) Of course, it’s an island in the north Atlantic, so haddock and cod are bountiful and used as we might use chop meat: minced and made it into fishballs (fiskbollurs), or chopped up with cheese and onion and baked in a casserole (plokkfiskur). Then there is salmon, sea trout, Arctic char—all pretty interchangeable—and always freshly caught from the nearest sea, lake or river. It’s either grilled, baked, or smoked to a soft deep dark velvety red that melts in your greedy-gluttonous-little-mouth like butta’. Speaking of which, smjor (their butter) is sublime, as is the milk, and comes only from what we would call free-range dairy cows, though they would just say they keep their cows outside.
But the dairy products that I live on over there are the yogurts. There are three kinds: skyr, a thickish one, similar to Greek yogurt, but creamier and sweeter; abmilk or sourmilk, which is similar to kefir, being a probiotic drink (AB stands for the bacteria), which comes plain or flavored (pear and apple are the best); and then the basic yogurt, which is similar to Sigga, now being sold in the U.S.. Coffee is the national beverage and you can’t have a cup of coffee without a kleinur or three, a simple twisted donut, similar to a Vermont cider donut.
When we’re out on the trail, it gets even better. Food on the trail is like food out on a sailboat—everything tastes especially special. Sometimes we pack up our own sandwiches and put them in our pockets for the ride. I make a salami and cheese and cucumber sandwich, not with bread but with those wafer-thin crackers. They fall apart into a few pieces but it is the best crumbled lunch I’ve ever eaten. Sometimes Helga will send out her husband or son with food for us. They’ll drive out in their truck to meet us on the trail and bring out lunch or afternoon tea. This can be sliced egg sandwich with tall cans of Thule beer, or it can be smoked salmon on sweet brown bread and a thermos of hot chocolate. And Disa, when she used to travel with us, always had a flask of cognac in her coat pocket. When it got cold or the trail got particularly hairy and the horses too much to handle, she’d whisk it out and pass it around for fortification and courage.
And then there is the traditional treat when we come in from riding. Helga will bring over a platter of freshly made Icelandic pancakes, which are really light crepes that are rolled up with jam and served with whipped cream. We have these with more coffee.
So when in Iceland, I can’t stop eating. The food is fresh and simple, and even with all the hardy day-long riding, by the end of the trip I’m seven pounds heavier, exactly my weigh-in after a trip to Amalfi. And, in that sense, it is like Italy, dear husband.
LOL. Desa had licorice in the other. Talk about balance!
I forgot about the licorice. I just wanted the cognac when we had to cross the river.
Agreed! It’s rarely mentioned, but Icelandic food is just all around good nutritious home cooking. Sadly you can see the effects of the relatively recent importation of junk food already in the population, especially the younger people.
Yes, though on the bright side, I’ve noticed the selection of vegetables has gotten better over the years. I think they are growing more and more in their greenhouses.
thanks, I do a lot of couch travel myself.
Great post. Such an enlightening comparison, makes me want to visit Iceland even more. Awesome image of the puffin. | 2019-04-21T18:19:52 | https://icelandica.net/2013/03/16/why-iceland-is-like-italy/ |

I can’t believe it! I have another haul from Ulta! Ok, so I know that I have had a lot of haul’s lately, but my husband and I have had the opprotunity to be able to increase my make-up collection. In addition, it is the 21 Days of Beauty at Ulta and there was one item in particular that I really wanted to pick up, which was the Buxom Full On Lip Creams. Of course I picked up a few more items while I was at Ulta because it’s hard to go there for just one item! I have been trying these products for a couple of weeks and will let you know my thoughts below.
Buxom Full On Lip Creams – Like I stated above, this was one item I really wanted to purchase during the 21 Days of Beauty. I purchased the shades White Russian and Rose Julep. I am obsessed with the feeling that these lip creams give you! It is a minty feeling and makes my lips feel fresh, as weird as that sounds. They are nice and glossy, plus they make my lips look juicy. I am so in love with these and I am so glad I purchased them.
Wet N Wild Mega Cushion Foundation – There is a story behind this foundation of why I purchased it. Like you have read in a previous blog, I had bought the IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream expecting to have this be the most amazing product. While I still enjoy it, I wanted to try something out that would last through IPSY Generation Beauty. I had been doing some research and several YouTubers had been enjoying the new Wet N Wild cushion foundation. I knew this wouldn’t be full coverage, but I was really curious. Initially, I wanted to try the LA Girl Pro Coverage Foundation, but the Ulta that I was out did not carry LA Girl in store, so I begun to look for an alternative. I saw this foundation, was able to find my shade and they had a $1.00 off coupon. So I bought it! First thing I will say about the foundation is the shade range NEEDS to be expanded. I purchased the shade Natural Beige and it is slightly dark, but I can make it work. This was the closest shade to my skin tone. And I know that if I am struggling to find a shade, I know many other people will too, especially on either side of the spectrum (i.e. really light and really deep skin tones). So for the actual formula, I LOVE it! The coverage was perfect! It is a high medium coverage on my skin and can be built up without looking cakey. It has a luminous finish, but does not look greasy on my skin. In addition, it lasts all day long. I wore this to IPSY Generation Beauty and was really impressed with how it held up all day long. Would totally recommend if you can find shade!
ColourPop Trifecta Lip Bundle – This lip bundle comes in three different shades My Jam (Ultra Glossy Lip), Reign (Ultra Satin Lip), and Knotty (Ultra Matte Lip). All these colors are fairly neutral and are beautiful on the lips. My favorites are Reign and Knotty. They last well on the lips and are very comfortable, in my opinion. My Jam is the gloss that is a gold shade with gold sparkles. It is beautiful, but isn’t super long lasting and if you are not careful, the glitters can shed to your face. I enjoy the Buxom Lips Creams more. For a more affordable option, I enjoy the NYX butter glosses.
I hope this haul was helpful and you were able to grab some good information on these products. I am hoping to pick up a couple of other items during the Ulta Sale and will let you know if I purchase any other items. I am enjoying the new products I have been picking up and I will continue to play with them. I will also be doing a blog post soon on the items that I picked up from IPSY Generation Beauty. Just as an fyi, I will have other blogs topics coming besides beauty. I have many other topic ideas! Please let me know below if you have picked up any items from the Ulta sale. | 2019-04-25T14:04:31 | https://crazylifewithfive.com/2018/04/05/another-ulta-haul/ |
Fibromyalgia is a common condition, that lacks a gold standard treatment. Studies have shown that medications are often minimally effective, and that simple interventions like exercise may be of more benefit. Tremendous confusion surrounds the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia, for both doctors and patients.
The three major underlying “triggers” of fibromyalgia include stress, inflammation, and small fiber peripheral neuropathy. In our clinical experience, as well as the literature, a significant percentage of fibromyalgia patients have been exposed to horrific circumstances, and the long lasting effects of this stress in the form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are important to not only recognize, but also to use as a tool in the aim of helping the Fibromyalgia patient improve. | 2019-04-20T01:21:20 | https://powerhealthtalk.com/pht-060-ptsd-and-its-role-in-fibromyalgia.htm |

please can you send me any contact address where I can get a mobile rice husk gasifier to be used for rice milling. We find it useful for farmers in the rural areas where there is no power connection.
We would be happy to share our knowhow regarding straw as boiler feed. We have several plants in operation in Denmark and we would welcome visitors.
Hi, G.B.Petersen, i am a small entrepreneur from Malaysia, and i found that malaysia’s farmers burn all the straw right after harvesting, which is kind of waste and harmful to the environment, could you share more about the boiler feed that you mentioned?
Can i get your email id to discuss with you about this in detail?
I would very much like to discuss with you, as you have offered, the use of rice straw for power production.
can we use the rice hull and chaff grain in the bio-gas digester?
What is the composition of rice hull and chaff grain?
are the data on rice straw and rice husk true? Is there any reference to the figures you using in the article?
This is quite interesting. Can I know more about this process. The waste from rice milling is a concern in my country.
Coffee husk should be similar to rice husk. 1 ton/hour of coffee husk should produce around 1 MW electricity (small scale plant up to 3 MW electrical). For larger plants higher electrical efficiency can be achieved. See http://www.kem.dk and feel free to contact. We have references for power generation from various sources of biomass (rice husk, rice straw, wheat straw, olive husk, poultry/chicken litter, wood etc.). | 2019-04-20T13:14:04 | https://www.bioenergyconsult.com/biomass-resources-rice-industry/?shared=email&msg=fail |
Brilliant --- thought-provoking --- heartbreaking --- and maddening --- especially when you consider the MPAA rating system, which caused this extraordinary film to be released UNRATED, instead of with a well-deserved PG-13.
"Bully" is a bell-weather movie, which should be seen by every middle school and high school student in America. But instead, it lost that opportunity by one (MPAA) vote, thus making it difficult for teachers nationwide to share these stories with their students.
Beginning in August of 2009 and continuing throughout the 2009/2010 school year, Lee Hirsch and his collaborator, Cynthia Lowen, followed 12-year-old Alex during his entire seventh grade year at a middle school in Sioux City, Iowa. Alex has been bullied his whole life, but this year, on the bus, things begin to escalate. By using a Canon 5d Mark II camera, the filmmakers were able to be present in school without many of the students even aware that they were filming.
Hirsch and Lowen also focused on Kelby, a 16-year-old lesbian being bullied in her small hometown, Tuttle, Oklahoma, and Ja' Meya, a 14-year-old in Yazoo County, Mississippi, who is picked upon so badly that she brings a gun with her onto the bus to school.
The truly horrific outcome of bullying is driven home by Tina and David Long, and Laura and Kirk Smalley, each couple losing sons to suicide due to the effects of long-term harassment. Both sets of parents are incredibly grief-stricken, but despite their anguish, they manage to fight back against the schools and communities that failed their sons.
Hirsch, himself bullied during his childhood and middle school years, puts forth a valiant effort to bring this crisis to light on the big screen. Over 13 million American children will be bullied this year. We have reached epidemic proportions, and as the film shows, there are not a lot of solutions in process.
One blogger I happened to read, UNFORTUNATELY, criticized "Bully" for not offering any solutions. Obviously unaware of the definition of "documentary", the goal is to inform the movie going audience, perhaps provide an opinion, but not to solve the issue. What Hirsch and Lowen wish is that by watching "Bully" people, i.e., parents, kids, educators, administrators, etc., will be motivated to do something about it. We can certainly hope!
If you were ever bullied in school, or if you know of someone who suffered at the hands of bullies, you are not alone. An estimated 13 million school kids will be bullied at some point in this academic year. "Bully", an ambitious documentary by Lee Hirsch, focuses on middle school kids and families in Iowa, Oklahoma and Georgia. Like other docs about teenage behavior, this one captures kids in the act.
An instant contender for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards, "Bully" is a significant film that should be seen by every school kid in America. But the overly protective MPAA assigned an "R" rating on the film based on language. When Harvey Weinstein tried to have that changed to allow for widespread viewing, his request was denied, so his company decided to release it as "unrated".
father is David Long, whose 17-year-old son Tyler hanged himself in his bedroom closet. It is a sobering sequence that buries itself in the pit of your stomach as you watch this film unfold. Tyler's story is only one of thousands about kids who take their own lives as a result of low self-esteem and hopelessness directly related to being bullied.
One of the more pitiable stories captured here is that of Alex, from Sioux City, Iowa.
A seventh grader who is constantly abused at school, and especially on the school bus, Alex claims to not feel anything any more. He is desperate to have friends, so he goes along with what he calls kids "just fooling around". But he is punched, strangled and stabbed with pencils as he rides the bus, with nobody intervening. It isn't until writer-director Hirsch and his co-writer Cynthia Lowen decide to release their footage to Alex's parents and school officials that any action is taken.
"Bully" is as infuriating as it is heartbreaking. When we see Alex and others not stand up for themselves, and repudiate their tormentors, it is hard to understand why they do not. When a school principal calls her kids "good as gold" we want to throw something at the screen because she is so stupidly blind to what is happening.
What Hirsch's film has accomplished, even in its infancy, is a movement that is spreading across the country. Spearheaded by families like the Longs of Georgia and the Smalleys of Oklahoma, the anti-bullying campaign appears to be gaining momentum. After watching this searing documentary, one can only hope that parents who are dealing with bullying every day, many of whom have suffered unimaginable loss, living through the terrible nightmare of a child's suicide, can make a difference. | 2019-04-24T03:56:46 | https://www.kaplanvskaplan.com/archived-reviews/b/bully/ |

When she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 19, it stopped what Monique Hanley envisioned would be a successful basketball career. The stresses of dealing with the condition, combined with living away from her Australian home for college led her to hang up her sneakers within three years. Determined to stay in shape, though, she turned to bicycle riding. Two years later, the 5-foot-6 former point guard was pedaling her way across Canada on a more than 4,800-mile journey that took her only 66 days. The next summer, she cycled around France to follow the world’s greatest cycling spectacle, the Tour de France. Determined to inspire others with Type 1, she took up competitive bicycle racing, first on the road and eventually on the track. Success came quickly and she was recruited to be a part of Team Type 1’s victorious Race Across America (RAAM) eight-person corporate team in 2007. The bronze medalist at the Australian National Track Championships last year, Hanley will represent Team Type 1 in the professional women’s National Racing Calendar race series during 2008. Setting goals is just one aspect of her advice for people with Type 1 diabetes. “You can have all the information and tools to get the job done, but they are no good without the drive to stay on top of your management,” she says.
Diabetes1: What do you remember about the day you were diagnosed with diabetes?
Monique: I was 19 when I was diagnosed. I’d previously had a blood test and the results indicated that I might have diabetes. After receiving this news I had a whole night to think about it and my sister drove me to the hospital the next day to confirm or deny the suspected results. I remember waiting in a crowded corridor with my sister and thinking the diagnosis was a big misunderstanding. I had a lot of anxiety about it. I met with a diabetes educator who performed a fasting blood test. When the results showed up over 300 I knew things weren’t right and it would be hard to deny the previous diagnosis.
Diabetes1: Did you have a family history of type 1?
Monique: I have no family history of it. I remember once in school there was a student who had diabetes and was a pain. I thought she was attention seeking. I had no real appreciation or understanding of diabetes before I was diagnosed.
Diabetes1: Did you have access to a specialized type 1 facility, back home in Australia? How common is type 1 in Australia?
Monique: When I was diagnosed, I was referred to the youth clinic at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. I was 19 so the youth clinic was a good thing to have. The hospital also had a lot of access to the research done in Australia. It was fortuitous that I was referred there to be educated and diagnosed. The prevalence of type 1 diabetes in Australia is similar to the rate in the U.S.
Diabetes1: Why did you choose cycling?
Monique: I was involved in basketball when I was diagnosed. Basketball was my life. Sports in general have always been a big part of my life. When I was dealing with diabetes, it was difficult to manage it correctly while playing basketball, graduating university, and working at my job. I wasn’t doing a good job with all three. I walked away from basketball. Afterwards, I put on weight from not being active. My endocrinologist said quite flippantly that I was, “one of those people who needs to exercise every day for the rest of your life”. The comment rang true for me. I knew I needed a sport I could do every day and on my own if necessary. I started cycling and, at the time, I didn’t have a car so it worked out great. My mum was a recreational bike rider and she had recently completed an annual 130 mile event. Motivated by her success, I decided that completing the same event would be my first major bike goal. Completing that event was a huge thing for me. It really spurred me on to keep on cycling and setting more goals. Cycling was not just a means of transport: it was a great avenue to set goals and keep me motivated. On top of that, I liked it. From setting and reaching goals on the bike, I eventually progressed to bike racing.
Diabetes1: How did you manage your diabetes during your 4,800-mile journey in Canada and during cycling around France, while following the Tour de France?
Monique: I asked my endo for advice. I was told that I might have to reduce my insulin! That was the only advice I had! My only way to complete the journey would be to teach myself from a lot of trial and error, and learning things on the run. The trip was great because it was a group environment. People were looking out for me a bit. I learned so much about diabetes management on the Canada trip. Not knowing how the exercise would affect my body, I tested a lot. In those days, that meant getting off the bike and testing. I learnt how the body reacts to long bouts of exercise for extended periods of time. Following the Tour de France on my own was only achievable because of the Canadian experience.
Diabetes1: Did your fiancé support your decision to join Team Type 1?
Monique: Yes, but it’s obviously not an easy thing for us. We’re based in Australia and being part of TT1 has meant a lot of separation. But he’s a great supporter of me and my goals and he also helps out with my diabetes.
Diabetes1: How have you overcome the day-day challenges such as dining out and a busy travel schedule?
Monique: The great thing about diabetes is no two days are the same. The one thing that never changes is the need to monitor and be flexible. Once you understand how to monitor, you can tackle any situation.
Diabetes1: Who are the inspirational figures in your life?
Monique: I am inspired by people who can continue with their careers and achieve amazing things. For example, people in the cycling world and working mothers who also compete in the world master’s competition. I’m inspired by people who can do a lot and still be competitive.
Diabetes1: What is your favorite part of being a competitive athlete and what do you dislike about it?
Monique: I like the challenge of managing a bunch of things and dedicating time for training. I like being a part of an environment that allows me to focus on cycling. By being a part of TTI, I can train surrounded by people with type 1 diabetes. I can’t say how great this experience has been for me. It’s a great thing to be a part of.
There are some difficult parts about cycling for me that include preparing for events, what happens to blood glucose during an event, and what to do to recover. In particular, I put a lot of energy and stress into making sure my blood sugar is right before a race. This means I do a lot of testing before a race. It takes up a lot of focus and energy; however, having a tool such as the Freestyle Navigator continuous glucose monitor helps me check it with a quick glance. That takes away a huge amount of the preparation stress and enables me to just focus on making sure I am right physically and mentally to perform well. It evens out the competition because I can then prepare just like a person without diabetes would.
Diabetes1: How did you become involved in TT1?
Monique: I run an organization in Australia called HypoActive (www.hypoactive.org) which encourages people with type 1 diabetes to exercise. In trying to grow this organization, I looked for inspirational groups and found TT1 on the internet. Right away I wrote to them and said they should have me on the team! Luckily, they wrote back and invited me.
Diabetes1: What are your goals for the future?
Monique: I would like to be part of a professional women’s team on the U.S. circuit and be one of the top 10 women in the U.S. cycling scene. Also, I want to continue racing the track and become one of the best Enduro track riders in the world.
Diabetes1: What is the future of TT1?
Monique: We’re going to show the world that with good diabetes management and using the right tools, we can do anything and achieve great things. We are going to win races. There’s a huge audience of both diabetics and non-diabetics that are inspired by what TT1 does. We’ll continue to show the world what we can do. | 2019-04-19T15:15:19 | https://diabetes1.org/News/Living_Well_with_Type_1_Diabetes_An_Interview_with_Monique_Hanley_from_Team_Type_1 |
Listing your property on the Thief River Falls Minnesota MLS is the best way to sell, and listing for a low flat fee is the best way to list on the MLS! List on the MLS just like all other listings, and only pay a commission if a buyer agent brings you a buyer. If you sell your property as a FOR SALE BY OWNER Thief River Falls Minnesota, you pay no buyer agent commission, saving even more in commissions.
Flat Fee MLS Listing in Thief River Falls Minnesota is the practice in the real estate industry where a seller enters into a listing agreement with a real estate broker who accepts a flat fee rather than a percentage of the sale price for the listing side of the transaction. The buyer's broker is still typically offered a percentage though that could be a flat fee as well. A discount flat fee MLS brokerage typically unbundles the services a traditional real estate brokerage offers and list the property for sale in the local multiple listing service (MLS) a la carte without requiring the seller to use its services for valuation assistance, negotiating, transaction management and showing accompaniment. Flat Fee brokers are real estate brokers, just like the national brand names, but offer discounted or unbundled services. Most flat fee brokers do offer full service brokerage services.
In the Thief River Falls Minnesota MLS ®, the listing agreement between the Thief River Falls Minnesota real estate broker and the property owner typically requires the broker to enter the property into the MLS and provide other contracted services, with the broker acting as what the traditional industry has coined a "limited service broker". However, the flat fee industry prefers the term a la carte broker because the services are not limited. Instead freedom of choice is expanded to allow sellers to pick from a menu of services.
For Sale By Owner MLS Thief River Falls Minnesota ( Multiple Listing Service) is not different from traditional real estate brokerage services. Because the MLS requires a listing agreement between a real estate broker and property owner, the rapid explosion of discount flat fee service providers has created a gap in the States developing laws governing flat fee services provided by real estate broker. | 2019-04-24T06:30:46 | https://flatfeegroup.com/Minnesota/ThiefRiverFalls/ |
