The fist day is an exploration of Radford University's campus with a focus on outdoor sculpture. This small university has a top-notch arborist. Every tree seems well-tended and nurtured to make a stunning campus even in winter. The display of outdoor sculpture is gratifying. Day 2: Mt Rogers is the tallest mountain in Virginia at 5,750 feet. In summer this is a well-traveled part of the Appalachian Trail. On a blustery March day, the trail was vacant. From the Grindstone camp trailhead, the trail is 7 miles to the summit over 2,000 vertical feet. Every 250 vertical feet the snow pack increased about 2 inches. At the summit the pack was easily 2 feet with drifts up to the waist. While hikers often bemoan the absent big-sky view from the summit, the mountain still invites with, "Come and you will be Satisfied." | 2019-04-25T19:55:19 | https://www.outragegis.com/pixel/index.php?/category/album-05-march-18-19-mt-rogers-and-radford-university-campus-va |

In Year Six we cover a wide range of themes to engage the pupils in their learning. These are more age-related than in previous years and include topics such as: Rivers, fantasy stories, Early Islam, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, WW2 and the Holocaust. The more mature topics aim to reflect the curriculum they will cover at secondary school and thus give them a head start. | 2019-04-22T02:38:28 | http://www.st-johns.derbyshire.sch.uk/year-6/ |

Temporomandibular Joint disorders, or TMJ disorders (for easier pronunciation), are a compilation of several disorders that affect the joint and surrounding area where the jaw meets the skull. Typically, this disorder can cause an individual to have trouble talking, eating, and can cause pain and swelling in the area. For some individuals, the pain radiates into their neck and causes headaches. The treatment for TMJ disorders can vary on the extent of the disorder. Those with mild to moderate pain or discomfort may be suggested by their doctor or dentist to take over the counter pain relievers, or may prescribe a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory. At its most extreme, TMJ may require surgery, but before it gets to that point there are several therapies that can help, including seeing an Upper Cervical Chiropractor.
How Can an Upper Cervical Chiropractor Help an Issue in My Jaw?
When traditionally recommended treatments fail to help, looking outside the box of tradition may be where you will find your answer. Upper cervical and chiropractic adjustments are commonly used to supplement or even replace traditional treatments for a variety of issues, including TMJ. Chiropractic care seeks to help the body and all functions by alleviating the dysfunctions, or misalignment, in the spine.
These dysfunctions, or misalignments, can cause tension in the muscles, joints, and fascia; which, in turn, can cause a number of ailments, pain, discomfort, and limited mobility. Upper cervical focuses on the upper two vertebrae in the neck, the closest to the skull and jaw. A misalignment, especially in this area, can place undue stress and pressure on the surrounding nerves, including the nerves associated with TMJ pain.
Many clients who have TMJ and seek upper cervical care find relief in their symptoms following just one visit. TMJ is usually a life-long ailment, so continuing upper cervical care alongside your traditional treatment can provide immense benefits and relief. | 2019-04-21T18:13:37 | http://ucbrandon.com/alleviate-tmj-upper-cervical-chiropractor/ |
The governorate of Maysan this evening has been exposed to heavy rain and torrents which led to the damage of 80 houses and the collapse of dams and bridges in Maleha and Taeb villages, some border villages and its properties have also been damaged, and no dead cases have been recorded so far.
The IRCS`s teams in Maysan have immediatly evacuated some affected families and has installed 56 tents for them equipped with relief and food items.
The IRCS has sent a caravan of food assistance, ambulances and health teams to the affected villages, adding to distribute relief and food items by the riverboats because the roads have sunk completely especially the roads of the affected villages.
The IRCS is still continuing with its relief operations day and day out to provide support for the affected from the local community. | 2019-04-19T01:17:15 | https://en.ircs.org.iq/iraqi-red-crescent-80-houses-collapsed-by-rain-and-torrents-in-maysan-and-the-teams-of-the-iraqi-red-crescent-mobilizing-its-efforts-to-relief-them/ |

On the penultimate Thursday in September the first meeting of the DDD community took place. This is a community of programmers, architects, analysts and other persons involved in software development, the aim of which is to establish application design based on domain-derived concepts. The leaders of the initiative are the Solution Architects at PosAm.
The first meeting which took place at the Campus coworking premises in Bratislava was attended by more than 50 interested persons, who were attracted by the themes Filozofia Domain-Driven Design and Architektúra Microservices. Their presentations were recorded for those who did not have the possibility to participate at the first meet-up.
Zdeno Jašek, Solution Architect at PosAm, besides Domain-Driven Design (DDD) philosophy, has devoted himself to the key DDD notions: “Bounded Context“ and “Ubiquitous language“. He showed how by ignoring Bounded Context he ended up with an unsuitable application design, or how the principles of the Ubiquitous language are violated and how they contribute to unclear and barely maintainable code.
Miro Rúčka, Solution Architect at PosAm, spoke about his experience regarding the development of an application based on Microservices Architecture. What were the reasons for application of this technology, what expectations and to what extent were they fulfilled and to what extent not, which complications he encountered and which we would avoid in the future?
The Domain-driven design (DDD) community is a society of programmers, architects, analysts and other people involved in software development. Its target is usage of up-to-date procedures and technologies in the implementation of applications. The common aim is to set up the design of an application based upon the domain-derived concepts.
The ambition of the DDD community is to share knowledge and experience of the individual community members in the area of Domain Driven Design, as well as in the related technological topics. This community currently acts as a free association without official membership. Its functioning is based on free participation at occasional meetings. Thereby, the term “community member“ is to be understood as any person who takes part in any of the meetings. | 2019-04-24T14:42:58 | https://www.posam.sk/en/solution-architects-becoming-posam-leaders-of-the-ddd-community/ |

The 2018 American Music Awards are a wrap and aside from Cardi B winning Best Rap Artist, the biggest surprise of the night came with late rapper XXXTentacion winning the award for Best Soul/R&B Album. His mother, Cleopatra Bernard accepted the award on his behalf.
“I’m so nervous, you guys,” Bernard admitted upon reaching the stage. “I am honored to accept this award on behalf of my son.I would like to thank the AMAs, his fans, and to everyone who made this possible. Thank you guys so much, I appreciate it.” She then left the stage visibly choked up by the moment.
On Twitter, the reaction was met with interesting reactions. Not to X winning but rather X’s 17 album being in the Best Soul/R&B category against SZA‘s CTRL and Khalid‘s American Teen.
The rapper, born Jahseh Onfroy was shot and killed this summer in a robbery attempt in Miami. | 2019-04-26T13:50:54 | https://ipowerrichmond.com/3113831/xxxtentacion-won-best-soul-rb-album-at-the-american-music-awards/ |

Morgui (mandarin Chinese for Magic (Mor) Ghost (Gui)) is the creation of Kevin Warwick, a University of Reading cybernetics professor with a long record in attention-seeking robots.
"We want to investigate how people react when they first encounter Mo, as we lovingly like to call the robot. Through one of Mo's eyes, he can watch people's responses to him following them around. It appears this is not deemed acceptable for under 18-year-olds without prior consent from their legal guardian. This presents us with a big problem as we cannot demonstrate Mo in action either to visitors or potential students." said Prof Warwick.
Morgui's five senses include visual and audio, as well as a further three that are extra-sensory, as far as humans are concerned: radar, infrared, and ultrasonic.
In Europe, Japan and the US, researchers have been looking for robots that will respond "naturally" to humans. It therefore follows that the robots must also study how humans respond to them, but Morgui was deemed so frightening it has been banned from interacting with under 18s.
Unfortunately, Reading University's ethics and research committee banned the "scary" robot. | 2019-04-22T11:00:02 | http://www.mariusbutuc.info/2006/06/morgui.html |

It was between 1900 and 1930 that Ravel composed these works; from the Menuet Antique right up to La Valse, Europe, and indeed the world, are full of frenzy, acceleration, fury and finally explosion. Did this monstrous machine ever stop? It was at the end of 2015, that Hélène Tysman recorded this disc, and two phrases in particular which inspired her for this programme still resonate: the quotation of Henri de Régnier, highlighting the Valses Nobles et sentimentales, who talks of "the delicious and ongoing pleasure of a useless occupation", and the exchanges between two aristocrats, present at a soirée preceding the 1830 revolution, who observe; "we are dancing on a volcano", a phrase which would inspire Jean Renoir for La règle du jeu in 1939. | 2019-04-24T20:32:08 | http://klarthe.com/index.php/en/records-en/recitals/des-antiques-aux-demons-detail |
Ultimate aim of learning is to secure a rightful career as per aspirations of students. Learning should be pursued to launch pad a desired career in life which student and parent have dreamt of in life, be it Engineering, Medicine, Defense, Commerce or any field of matching talent. In today's competitive world, early you start, better you are prepared. Right focus, right direction and right approach at right time ensure a successful career and life. CP-Gurukul has evolved a scientifically designed stress-free Integrated Coaching Program synchronized with School education to fulfill the dreams of aspiring students aiming for success in IIT-JEE, NEET, AIIMS, KVPY, NDA, and NTSE& Olympiads etc.
Under School synchronized Integrated Coaching Program, school learning is followed by preparation for Competitive Exams. through advanced level illustrations, Worksheets AND Exercise Sheets. The topics which were taken up from NCERT books during School time are being extended to the level of Competitive Exams (like NTSE, IJSO, OLYMPIADS etc. for 6th to 10thand IIT-JEE, NEET, AIIMS, KVPY & NDA etc. for 11th to 12th) during Integrated Coaching time in evening by the same expert faculty from Kota. This School synchronized Coaching approach produces wonderful results.
Our faculty team comprises of highly qualified and experienced teachers with outstanding academic record. They all are expert in their subject and committed to the success of our students. The best faculty team has been sent to CP-Gurukul Mohali from a team of 350 members at Kota. Most of our faculty members are IITians, NITians and Doctors with rich experience.
To ensure day by day progress, after every lecture class, students are given set of 8-10 challenging multi-conceptual questions in form of DPPS, scientifically designed to give in-depth understanding of concepts & application taught in class, just after the lecture. DPPS is an effective tool for memory retention and revision of lecture before next lecture is taken up by teacher. Separate Registers have been assigned to each student to solve each and every question of DPPS before coming to next class to ensure effective monitoring of performance.
To give personal attention to each student even outside the classrooms, faculty members remain available at Doubt Removal Counters. If an individual student feels that some topic / questions / statement are not clear then he/she may clarify these at Doubt Removal Counters in one-to-one interaction mode.
Self-study is hallmark for success in any competitive exam. Many students may either ignore or take self-study lightly in Hostel. To ensure proper self-study, CP-Gurukul has provided special Reading Halls which offer space to focus on subject matters under supervision of faculty members in peaceful and modern ambience. Campus resident faculty members remain present in Reading Halls during self-study time even at night to clear doubts of students on the spot.
Time Management, Confidence Building & Positive Thinking etc.
Students are motivated to achieve their goal through audio-visual clippings and various inspirational examples.
Pre-recorded lectures of star faculty members of Kota are available in Knowledge Lab for individual understanding of the topic, effective revision and to cover the left portion of the class due to absenteeism or any other reason.
Academic Control through Course Control Sheets to ensure timely completion of Course along with the best quality teaching so that revision can also be undertaken effectively.
Student and parent can check details like attendance, Test Results, Performance Analysis and Solution to Exercise Sheets etc. on Career Point Gurukul website using their unique User ID & Password allotted to every parent.
Mentors are assigned to each student to take care of their all academic and non-academic issues throughout the session.
Campus resident faculty members are accessible to students round the clock. Students are free to get any query solved by faculty members even after class hours as per their convenience.
Foundation Years (Grade 6th to 10th): Foundation Years program aim excellence in school academics integrated with preparation for prestigious scholarship exams like NTSE, Olympiads and laying strong foundation for future competitive exams like JEE, NEET etc. | 2019-04-22T06:51:08 | http://www.cpmohali.in/courses/integrated-coaching.aspx |
The cold weather is back in town, Christmas is coming and quite possibly the snow — for some! For those of you in sunnier climates, we are jealous! But if like us, you are feeling the chill, check out our warm winter styles to try out right now.
Although we all like to look great when we step outside, you shouldn't forget that having cosy and snug loungewear for the home is also important. Soft and warm materials are perfect for relaxing in. Coming in from the cold and getting your «comfys» on is what winter is all about. So when you are not out at the Christmas parties getting your boogie on, get into your winter warmers.
An easy and sophisticated warm winter style is to match your hat with your coat. Whether you have opted for the classic beanie hat, the cute pom pom hat or a classy fedora, color match it with your coat. It's a simple trick that elevates your outer layer and creates an awesome, sophisticated look.
Many of our favorite fashion icons have been wearing the ’menswear style’. Plenty of ties, flat caps, waistcoats and trouser suits with the typical male cut, look great on women. Country tweeds, braces, large collared shirts and tailored sweaters not only look good, but will keep you warm in winter. This new popular trend is stylish, offers lots of layering options and is easy to put together.
Oversized sweaters and blazers have become very trendy in recent months. The boyfriend cardigan is no longer. We don't care for the sightly larger boyfriend style anymore and have instead moved into full blown oversized clothing. They are super comfy, easy to wear and suprisingly look great!!
Taking a page out of nature's book (well sort it), we LOVE all things animal print, as long as no animals were harmed in the creating. Faux furs, leopard spots and zebra stripes are fabulously fashionable. Designers have heard our roars, and everything from boots to dresses to kimonos comes in animal print so you will be spoilt for choice.
We saved our favorite tip for last; knitted leg warmers and tights. Mix up the colors, think burgundy tights and cream knitwear — gorgeous right? What about sparkling silver tights and navy knitwear, or classic black tights and gray knitwear. So many options to make so many different looks.
Please enter the sum: 6 + 8 = ? | 2019-04-24T05:11:24 | https://zefinka.com/blog/warm-winter-styles-you%E2%80%99ve-got-to-try.html |
Henry Cavill may or may not be leaving his role as Superman. While in the midst of what seems like movie star nonsense, the mere mention of Cavill hanging up the cape sparked speculation around the DCEU fanbases. And sure, we could sit around and say it should be this person or that actor from that one thing or Dean Cain, but let’s put some stakes on it. Courtesy of Bet Online, fans can wager on who they think will be the next Kal-El.
(For those unfamiliar with the intricate ways of gambling odds, the number next to the actor’s name represents potential winnings if an even $100 is placed. For example, if an actor is +500 to win the part, you’d have to bet $100 to win $500. If an actor is +1000, $100 nets $1,000, and so on. Make sense? Good).
Jordan is only thirty-one but has already had an impressive career. From his all-too-brief time on The Wire to his breakout in Fruitvale Station to his current run as Adonis Creed, Jordan has only gotten better. One thing missing from his resume is the role of a superhero (Fantastic Four is a giant media conspiracy steeped in the Mandela Effect and never happened, okay? IT NEVER HAPPENED). Jordan as the Big Blue Boy Scout would be an obvious choice. He’s already played a stellar -- albeit controversial -- villain in Black Panther, and now DC could turn him into a hero and the face of the DCEU.
Hammer looks like he’s straight out of the pages of the Superman comic. So he’s got that going for him, which is nice. Whether or not he has the chops to fulfill a role as large and expansive as Superman would be the key factor in the studios’ decision to give him the job given the criticism Cavill faced throughout his tenure.
Hoechlin may be too obvious since he already plays Supes on Supergirl, and heaven forbid Warner Bros. use the actor from a TV show to play the same character on the big screen (right, Grant Gustin?). While the past preferences from the studio may side against Hoechlin, he’s already got the recognition and the background to potentially earn him the role.
Golding is hot off the success of Crazy Rich Asians and has breakout star potential. While he may not have the resume to back him up, he could be a risk worth taking as Warner Bros. re-evaluates its current situation.
I’m sure there are other things you can think of, but it's a jumping off point.
Of these three, only Wahlberg hasn’t played a hero of some sort. Remember when Affleck was cast as Batman and everyone was like “did we all forget about DareDevil?” Now we can do that twice and throw in some Martha jokes. Plus, how insane would Warner Bros. have to be to take Affleck, who also quit his DCEU role, and insert him as Superman like nothing ever happened? It’s not like sports where a player can switch teams and no one bats an eye. Though it is like sports in that anyone can quit at any time.
Will Smith already played a drunk version of Superman in Hancock, so the Twitterverse would be full of “lol Hancock got clean #FlySoberOrGetPulledOver” jokes and memes. Throw in the unlikeliness of the aforementioned members of the mid-forties club and you can close the book on these three.
Holy crap I hope they pick Nicolas Cage.

Layers of ionised gas caused by solar radiation, located between 60 and 200 miles above the earth’s surface, and varies daily and with seasons and latitude.
Radio transmission energy that continues through the ionosphere (without reflection or fraction) into space. Space waves neither follow the curvature of the earth, nor bend around obstructions.
Two signals are transmitted from the ground station, the first is the non-directional reference phase, and the second is the rotating variable phase. Both signals are transmitted 30 times per second. The variable phase transmits cyclically around the 360 degrees of the azimuth approximately 30 times per second. The reference phase signal is transmitted every time the variable phase transmission sweeps past magnetic north. Radial information is derived from the difference in time between the two signals (which would be different for each radial); this computation is referred to as phase difference, and is displayed by the airborne equipment.
In the upper left quadrant, the CDI is deflecting right, indicating to the pilot that the aircraft is to the left of course. To intercept the selected 030° Radial, the aircraft must be flown in the direction of the needle, but this only works if the aircraft is oriented to the OBS selection. Note the FROM indication, showing that the aircraft is to the north east of the 90° off-setting radials—a line combining the 300° and 120° Radials. In the upper right quadrant, everything is the same as the upper-left except the needle is deflecting left. Here (upper right quadrant) the pilot must fly left to intercept the selected 030° Radial.
Rather than a traditional VOR display, the position of an aircraft relative to a VOR transmitter can also be displayed by way of a Radio Magnetic Indicator (RMI) display. With an RMI, a bearing indicator continually points to the VOR station. The bearing indicator, in turn, is superimposed on an azimuth display that is virtually identical to the aircraft’s heading indicator. The azimuth, driven by a remotely mounted slaved compass, continually adjusts itself to reflect the aircraft’s heading—rotating just as the heading indicator rotates. In the example below, the aircraft is flying a heading of 086°, the bearing to the VOR is 055°, and the aircraft is currently crossing the 235° Radial. As discussed below, an RMI display can also be used to display ADF navigation information.
ADF information is conventionally displayed by one of three means, the first of which is referred to as a fixed card bearing indicator, the second is referred to as an adjustable bearing indicator, and the third is referred to as a Radio Magnetic Indictor (RMI).
In the case of the fixed-card bearing indicator, the ADF needle displays the relative bearing of the transmitter station—i.e., the bearing of the transmitter station relative to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft (relative bearing is discussed beginning P. 68). The ADF display card remains fixed with the 360° bearing set at the top of the azimuth display.
ILS must have a final approach fix (FAF) which provides position confirmation; the FAF is either an NDB or a DME fix.4 The FAF is typically 4 NM from the runway,5 but vary between 3.5 and 6 NM.
The transmitter of a Localizer signal is located on the centre line at the far end of runway for which is serves (i.e., off the departure end).
A Localizer has specified areas of reliability. Outside this area, indications must be regarded as inaccurate. Approximately 18 NM from the transmitter, the Localizer is reliable 10° either side of the on-track indication, while 10 NM from the transmitter, reliability increases to 35° either side of the on-track indication (below).
DME signals are UHF and are therefore subject to line-of-sight limitations. DME frequencies are paired with VOR frequencies; therefore, by selecting the VOR VHF signal, the appropriate UHF frequency is automatically selected on the DME equipment—but you must pay close attention to depiction on navigation charts. DME is also paired with military TACAN signals—accordingly, while VOR equipment in civil aircraft cannot utilise TACAN signals (as TACAN signals are UHF), civil DME equipment can dial in TACAN frequency and obtain distance information. Note that VORTAC stations (combining military UHF and civil VHF) provide DME data.
The initial position of the aircraft is entered into the computer (usually the precise longitude and latitude of the aircraft on the airport ramp), and a system of two gyro-stabilised accelerometers measure acceleration of the aircraft relative to a north-south and east-west electronic grid.
The latest generation of INS systems—referred to as IRS for Inertial Reference System—uses laser sensors rather than gyros, and the date is directly inputted into an aircraft flight management system.
The term “RNAV” is currently used in two meanings, the first referring to all Area Navigation System—INS, IRS, GPS (also referred to as GNSS, meaning “Global Navigation Satellite System”), LORAN C, etc.—and the second sense denotes an airborne system that utilises conventional VORTAC and DME ground stations. In this section, RNAV denotes the latter conventional ground stations.
The system is based on the measurement of distances between the airborne receiver and satellites, thereby establishing position information based on triangulation. Precise calculation of distances is made possible by atomic clocks carried on each satellite, and distance is derived from measuring the time required for a satellite signal to reach the airborne receiver. The current accuracy of GPS with respect to horizontal and vertical positions can be 6 meters and 8 meters, respectively, 95% of the time.
Five measurements with good geometry concerning the satellite positions are needed to provide RAIM; since an IFR GPS utilises as a source of measurement the aircraft’s altimeter, the minimum number of satellites is four. If the measurements are inconsistent, the pilot is notified and RAIM does not exist.
There are numerous augmentation systems for GPS—systems that enhance the accuracy and reliability of GPS position determination. Perhaps the more prominent of these is the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) has been developed by the U. S. FAA, and consists of a network of 29 ground stations (referred to as WRS—Wide-area Reference Stations---these are located the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico), and four geostationary satellites. GPS/WAAS receivers obtain position data from both the GPS satellite network, as well as ground stations (communicated via the WAAS stationary satellites) to civil position determination to within 1.0 meters laterally and 1.5 meters vertically. WASS systems exist in Japan, Europe, and India.
We’ll end this section on GPS with a bunch of acronyms: “TSO” stands for “Technical Standing Order”, and GPS systems certified for IFR use that do not use WAAS fall under TSO-C129; GPS systems that do utilize WASS fall under TSO-C146a (required for Commuter and Airline operations).
In contrast, SSR relies on airborne transponder and measure data based on SSR interrogation and transponder replies.
It is characterised as a short range, high definition PSR system that provides highly accurate information related to altitude, azimuth and range—sufficient accuracy to be classified as a “precision approach” comparable to an ILS system.
12 The GPS system is composed of three segments: the Space Segment, the Control Segment, and the User Segment. The Space Segment is composed of the 24 NAVSTAR satellites that orbit the earth. The satellite orbits are precisely planned so that the entire surface of the earth may use the GPS system 24 hours per day, every day. There are almost always more than six satellites in view from every location on Earth. The Control Segment consists of a network of ground-based monitoring and control stations, with the Master Control Station located in Colorado Springs. The satellite data is collected by other ground stations, but is assimilated and analysed in Colorado Springs. The Master Control Station has facility for the “uplinks” required, for example, to make system clock corrections. The User Segment includes pilots with GPS.

I've got it. What do you need to know?
This is shaping up to be the next Trial of the Century, Ataloss. So I sent a quick e-mail to Johnny Cockran to see if he is available to help out.
I know that you have already said that "the Great SWR Debate is over and hocus has won" and that "the technical support for this assertion is rock solid," JWR1945. But Johnny's legal analysis suggests that it is more important than ever that we dot every "i" and cross every "t" re this thing. Could you comb through that historical data just one more time and make absolutely sure that our case is completely rock solid?
I don't want to pay Johnny's retainer fee if it's not really necessary. One the other hand, I'm not looking forward to a one-way ticket to the Big House either. Don't say you are sure unless you really are sure. JWR1945. I'm putting it all on the line in my confidence in your abilities as a numbers guy, my good man.
It's ironic, but the only way to change this state of affairs is to have less, not more. If it's been four years since you bought a new tie, choosing a tie might be fun. If you've lived ten years in a small apartment, having a place with a yard might be very pleasant. In every case the marginal whoopee is greater, the less you have to begin with."

Let's not import any more garbage from the Motley Fool. It has been going downhill not only because it charges fees but also because it does not enforce its own posting rules. Misrepresentations have become commonplace at the Fool. Keep them there. Keep them off of our boards.
Let's not import any more garbage from the Motley Fool.
I agree. Perhaps we should limit those type of posts to old classics by our current members. Just the good stuff.
JWR1945: Let's not import any more garbage from the Motley Fool.
ES: I agree. Perhaps we should limit those type of posts to old classics by our current members. Just the good stuff.
The "garbage" that JWR1945 refers to is not a side issue in the Great SWR Debate It is a key part of the phenomenon we are exploring. It is unpleasant to watch it play out, to be sure.. But it is important, arguably as important as the question of what the data says about what is safe.
I have described the SWR debate as a "phenomenon." That is what it is. There has never been any issue in the history of the FIRE movement, probably in the history of the internet, that has generated as many posts as this one has. There is a reason for that, and coming to terms with what we have experienced--both on the content side and on the process side--is how we learn about how to achieve FIRE early in life. This debate matters. All of it matters. A lot.
I don't find fault with JWR1945 for referring to many of the posts posted to the REHP board as "garbage." When he calls these posts "garbage," he means that they lack intellectual content and moral integrity. In that sense, they are garbage. But these posts are nuggets of gold in another sense, and those seeking to use this board to learn about FIRE need to come to terms with the significance of the phenomenon we have watched play out out before us.
How are these posts gold? They are gold because they reveal to us how human beings deal with change. That is the core issue in this debate, the community's response to change. The May 13, 2002, changed the FIRE community forever. People will always think of that data as a dividing line. Things were one way prior to May 13, 2002, and they are another way now. Things can never go back to the way they were. The FIRE movement changed on that date, and the things we see play out before us are scenes in which a variety of different types of posters struggle to deal with change in a variety of different sorts of ways. Change is happening amongst us, and it is being recorded and preserved in Post Archives for our future edification (and the edification of future members of our community).
What ES means when he suggests that these posts are not "good stuff" is that they are unpleasant to read. He's right about that, of course. But one of the primary values of the new message board communications medium is that it helps people learn together. That's what this board should be about, learning together. Does learning mean taking in knowledge only of pleasant things? It does not. Sometimes learning requires taking in knowledge of things that are not so pleasant, and I believe that this is one such time.
These garbage posts are not pleasant reading, I acknowledge that. But I will speak in defense of garbage posts for a moment. You know what those posts are? They are real. These garbage claims that you see on the REHP board, and on this board too of late, are not being prepared by intercst and then posted by him under scores of other names. They are being prepared by real live human beings given the opportunity to speak their minds on public message boards. These people are trying to communicate something, and it would do us well to pay attention to what it is they are trying to communicate and why it is they are going to the trouble to do so.
Here's an interesting fact to ponder. I lost posting privledges at the REHP board over five months ago and today my ideas re SWRs remain the primary topic of on-topic posting at the board. What does that tell you?
What it tells me is that this debate matters to people, it matters an awful lot, it matters more than any other topic that has ever been debated at any FIRE board in the history of the movement. Many of the things that people are saying are mean-spirited and untrue, that is why JWR1945 refers to REHP board posts as "garbage." But mean-spirited or not, true or not, these posts exist. People took the time to craft them and to post them. Why? It's a question we need to resolve if we are to make sense of this matter.
There is a reason for the garbage. By coming to appreciate the reason, we gain something from our experience of the garbage--a learning experience. By turning our eyes away from the garbage we learn nothing, and we increase the chances that we will be harmed again by garbage in the future as we were harmed by garbage this go around. If you really dislike garbage, you don't deal with it by ignoring it and allowing it to pile up in larger and larger mounds. You learn how to solve the garbage problem, how to take out the garbage. That is one of the most important lessons we need to learn from this experience.
At some point we need to determine as a community whether I am in fact an informed and honest community member, as I say I am, or an ant at a picnic, as Ataloss says I am. We don't need to reach a consensus on that today. But we do need to reach a consensus on it somewhere down the line. If I am an ant, community members should be taking that into account in assessing the merit of any posts I put to the board. If I am an honest and informed poster and Ataloss has elected to refer to me as an ant for purposes of scoring points in the SWR debate, community members should be taking that into account in determining the merit of his future posts.
We should not take things said at the REHP board at face value, that is certainly true. The board's integretity has been damaged in a serious way. But this board's integrity has been damaged of late as well. There have been many word game posts posted here and many ridicule posts posted here, and few community leaders have spoken out against the tactics that have been employed. That has done damage to the board's efforts to debate the SWR issue in a reasoned manner.
This community is not the same as the REHP community. But we are not immune from the problems they are struggling with. At bottom, both boards are struggling with the same thing--change. Accepting change is hard, and human beings do not always respond well when asked to do hard things. As we continue to struggle with the far-reaching implications of the May 13, 2002, post, there will be times when we will benefit from looking at how the REHP board has struggled with the same questions.
To fail to learn from all the ugliness we have experienced would be to make that ugliness a total negative for everyone concerned. I would rather tuirn it into something good by using it to learn how human beings struggle with change and how to help them struggle in different and more profitable ways in the future. I will never make use of garbage posts from the REHP board or from this board for purposes of winning cheap debating points. But I will refer to such posts at times for purposes of revealing to commmunity members the tactics that human beings use to resist change and the damage that those tactics can cause to board communtiies when community leaders fail to respond to them in appropriate and effective ways.
Looks like we have another 10+ paragraph post from hocus talking about discussions rather than discussing FIRE issues once again.
But mean-spirited or not, true or not, these posts exist. People took the time to craft them and to post them. Why? It's a question we need to resolve if we are to make sense of this matter.
I strongly disagree with the need to observe this further. I know enough that I want it to end.
Such posts are far too time-consuming.
ES has the right idea. Agree to disagree.
It is not necessary for someone to defend an opinion. Just because someone does not know the correct answer to a question does not necessarily mean that it does not exist. A person can be right about an issue without knowing the exact reasons.
It is OK not to agree. It is not OK to make personal attacks on those who disagree. That is the key. We are seeing personal attacks, not discussions or debates about ideas.
But this board's integrity has been damaged of late as well. There have been many word game posts posted here and many ridicule posts posted here, and few community leaders have spoken out against the tactics that have been employed.
I agree. It bothers me greatly.
I would rather turn it into something good by using it to learn how human beings struggle with change and how to help them struggle in different and more profitable ways in the future.
I agree with your intent, but I think that we can work on the solution. Again, I think that ES has the right idea. And I think that any kind of personally directed attack should be prohibited. I think that it is already prohibited by the rules. But that interpretation is arguable.
To peteyperson: Your response is uncalled for. It is irresponsible. It bothers me greatly.
ataloss indirectly called me a liar, which I do not appreciate.
Everyone knows that you are not a liar, JWR1945, just as everyone knows that I am an honest and informed poster and not an ant. The driving force behind this thing, the reason why we talk about it and talk about it and never come to a resolution, is that too many of us feel uncomfortable giving voice on the board to the things we know to be true. We have to speak in code because to tell the truth about SWRs or about the Great Debate makes defenders of the conventional methodology hostile. What I am saying is that when you find that the truth makes you feel uncomfortable about a position you hold, it is not the right way to go to abandon the truth. The right way to go is to abandon the position you hold that makes you so alarmed about hearing anyone speak the truth. The solution lies in opening ourselves to more truth, not less.
Ataloss is not the only poster who has smeared you, JWR1945. And this is not the only board at which you have been smeared. You and me are not the only fine posters who have been smeared in the course of this. BenSolar and FoolMeOnce were the other two Dimwits, remember? And lots of other fine posters have been smeared on a less regular basis throughout the course of the discussions.
Look for the common thread, and you will see that it is only posters who tell the truth about SWRs who are smeared. You put up a post the other day at the Motley Fool board where you noted that intercst made mistakes in his examination of the switching question. His response was not the response you would expect from an honest researcher. He did not say "thank you for bringing that to my attention." No. He attacked you. Why? What is it you did to bring on that smear? You told the truth. That was your crime. And that was the crime that caused Ataloss and others at this board to smear you as well.
Why is it such a crime to tell the truth about SWRs? It's because it is not easy for defenders of the conventional methodology to do what ES has advised in this matter. People should agree to disagree, you say. ES thinks so too, and so do I. So why don't defenders of the conventional methodology just do that?
Have you ever thought what it would mean for them to do that, JWR1945? The SWR is a data-based construct. If they allow others to discuss what the data says without poisoning the threads with attack and ridicule, how long do you think that the majroity of this board community is going to continue to believe that the conventional methodoloy is valid for purposes of determining SWRs? "Not long" is the answer. This is not a question on which there is a range of reasonable views. This is a math problem. The math says that intercst got the number wrong by a country mile, that I got it right, and that the conventional methodology is invalid for purposes of determining SWRs. If you were a defender of the conventional methodology, would you want to agree to disagree and permit the data to be revealed in reasoned threads for all to appreciate its message?
This issue is at the core a math problem. There are lots of SWR questions on which we could have wonderful discussions in which there is lots of room for reasonable disagreement. That's the good stuff that I refer to from time to time. You put up several posts a week at the SWR board hinting at all that wonderful stuff. What sort of reaction have you been getting to that fine work, JWR1945? Lots of Learning Together experiences for the community?
You are not getting that. You are not getting that because the premise of all the work you have done in this area is a respect for the mathematical truths at the core of it. If people so much as respond to your posts, they are lending credibility to my idea that the SWR should be determined by making reference to the historical data, all of it. They do that, and they are undermining support for the conventional methodology.
Learning happens in building blocks. You start with the ABCs, and you work from there. The change that we are dealing with here is that I changed the building blocks. People for a long time thought that intercst was the most knowledgeable person in the FIRE community on SWRs. It turned out that he was not, that I was. People thought for a long time that the conventional methodology was a reasonable way to assess the safety of a retirement plan. It turned out that it is not, that that methodology always produces the wrong number. I put something very important on the table, a change in our basic thinking about the most important question we grapple with here. It's a change so big that some have a hard time accepting it. That's why we have seen the reactions we have seen, where the normal rules are turned upside down and the best posters are termed the worst and others sit on their hands while it happens.
You can talk data until you turn blue in the face, JWR1945 and it won't change a thing until the community decides for itself that it wants to hear the truth about this matter. We need to have consensus at least on the ABCs or little learning can take place. It is an ABC that intercst got the number wrong by a country mile and it is an ABC that the conventional methodology is invalid for purposes of determining SWRs. The breakthrough will be when people are willing to speak honestly on those two questions.
It will happen. But it will not happen by us burying our heads in the sand and pretending that the smears are not taking place. The purpose of the smears is to slow down the day at which the community will be free to tell the truth on this matter, and they have achieved that purpose. Say that there are three posters at this community today who are interested in the work you are doing at the SWR board, but who have never posted before. If you were one of those three, would you take a chance at putting up a post there, given what you have seen happen to JWR1945 and hocus, two posters with long records of outstanding service to the community? It is asking an awful lot of people to expect them to take that kind of chance, JWR1945. What is said of one poster affects all other posters. The things that are said are said for a purpose and the purpose is intimidation. Learning Together and Intimidation don't mix.
Agreeing to disagree is a big part of the answer, you and me and ES agree on that. But another part of the answer is regaining our capacity to tell the truth. We all need to develop more courage. Anyone who posts here has an investment in the future of the place, and any poster who posts in destructive ways harms not just the poster at whom the attacks are aimed but the entire community. When Ataloss calls you a liar, he hurts not just you, JWR1945. He hurts me too. And Petey. And ES. And Wanderer. And BenSolar. And FoolMeOnce. And all the rest.
We need all those named posters and all the rest too speaking up to Ataloss a whole lot more in the future than we have heard them speak up to him in the past. That's the road to the good stuff. It's agreeing to disagree. And it's also working up the courage to take steps when there are posters who reveal themselves unwilling to agree to disagree.
I was, as usual, just interested in the facts. I didn't initially mention the charge of plagarism. After hocus' bizarre Johnny Cochrane post I thought I should provide some context. A mistake as I now see. Although I don't see any plagarism I am not sure what to make of hocus and jwr's posts. How hard hocus worked on the post and who collaborated isn't particularly relevant to the plagarism issue. Since hocus doesn't want to move the post here, people don't know the context. The post was put up 24 hours after the mhtyler post it cites. Maybe hocus and jwr worked hard on it during that time period maybe they didn't. I don't know, I wasn't there. Although jwr makes a lot of sense when he isn't defending hocus, I think he has been a bit incredible at times in his defensive posts. I won't go into those instances at present.
What ES means when he suggests that these posts are not "good stuff"
Medium confusion alert!!! :!:That's not what I meant. The bad stuff would be anything with negatives aimed at other folks. Like, "Your an idiot! :wink:" The good stuff would be anything else of an informative or educational nature that others thought worthy of re-posting.
I realize there is somewhat of a gray area there but hey, it's not a perfect world.
Rather than respond to each individual I'll just point out that ataloss has not called anyone a liar that I know of. And no one needs to speak up to him in any way. What they need to do is agree to disagree and move on. He has issues on several points and for the most part has backed up every one of his points with examples. I would prefer he tone things down a bit sometimes but he plays within the rules. I'll agree he gets close to the edge every now and then. As others have done. Ataloss has just as much a right to his opinion as anyone else does. I'll defend that for him as I would any other member. Also we know that much of the time confusion reins because of this medium and it might be best if everyone could keep that in mind. It just happened to me today! So let's be sure we understand meaning before jumping to any conclusions.
I've known most of the regular posters here for a very long time. None of them are the type of folks who go in for personal attacks. They will defend themselves as they have a right to do and things can get a little heated. But even though we don't agree on many things we are still all friends here.
If someone doesn't feel that way then for a fee they can vent over on TMF or some other site. The rest of us will go on just fine here at NFB.
Ps. Hocus you offered free Fool memberships to people who was not willing to cough up, but wanted to partake on the Fool boards. I would like one, so please tell me how to proceed.
You need to send me your real name and your e-mail address. Motley Fool requires this information for me to set up an account for you using my credit card.
It tells me that they think you are crazy and that they love to ridicule you and make fun of you. To me this is sad and I think that intercst and his buddies are childish and have no class for those posts. That you are still an occaisional topic of conversation over there is true but not for the self-important reasons that you are imagining. | 2019-04-20T00:22:05 | http://www.nofeeboards.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1582 |

Is It Possible To Tattoo Over A Birth Mark?
I’m planning on getting a tattoo on my abdomen and i have a small, flat (not raised), brown birthmark, its kind of just a different pigment to my natural skin colour, and i was wondering if theres any danger in tattooing over it? Thanks in advance.
probably not. only if it is raised will the artist go around it.
if anything get it checked out by a doctor before you get the tattoo. | 2019-04-23T18:45:00 | http://www.tattoodesign.co.uk/is-it-possible-to-tattoo-over-a-birth-mark.html |

Chinese medicine and calligraphy, Peking Opera is known as the quintessence of the three.Our Chinese medicine in the Western world not to be recognized from the original, to treasure identity is experienced practical demonstration of the fact that the efficacy of.Now, many Western countries have sent people to learn traditional Chinese medicine theory of medicine.I published the novel “Generation Zhang Zhongjing” on the occasion of the first warm-up to look at the basic principles of medical science and traditional Chinese medicine Western medicine treatment of different points on the back read fiction can play a helpful role and understanding. First, let me first to talk about different points of Chinese and Western medicine treatment, and treatment characteristics of style.Western medicine’s short history.It is based on the theory of microscopic, that Western medicine was born in the Netherlands in 1632 Defu Te janitor after Leeuwenhoek’s invention of the microscope, the use of physiological anatomy, biological, biochemical and physiological and biochemical genetics physical detection means (such as: various laboratory experiments, B-CT.Etc.), with modern medical model of Western medicine theory on biochemical basis of microeconomic theory.The Chinese medicine has a history of five thousand years old, it is built on the theory of macro-humanistic philosophical thoughts on culture, and build on the experience of long-term observation of clinical medical practice on medical theories.Their understanding and treatment of disease concepts and tools, and techniques are different views. Western medicine is by means of experimental means microscopic technique based on the theory; theory of Chinese medicine is the basis of macro-humanistic philosophy and practice of clinical observation on the establishment. In the diagnosis, Western medicine is mainly dependent on the physical and biochemical detection means; and Chinese medicine relies look and smell of old observed Inquirer scrutiny diagnostic approach to patients nuanced.By the look and smell of the combination of all four diagnostic methods, and classical philosophy and meridian theory of six meridians and yin and yang, cold and heat table of eight principal dialectical “Look beyond” approach results in disease diagnosis.In traditional Chinese medicine clinic in our ancestors was very smart, wise, they attach great importance to the observation and analysis of the tongue, rather than choose another place, this is because the Chinese come in the long-term observation of practice: “The tongue is Miao awakened heart “it can best reflect changing circumstances the body’s qi and blood.For this reason I did the test, began to drink a glass of cold medicine, not too long, white fur thick and greasy, drink a cup of brown sugar, ginger, pepper soup and quickly turned its pink tongue visible, changes fast.There Palpation of Qiemo, because “heart blood” heart pulse is gated channel.Pulse, can accurately reflect the changing blood rise and fall because of the hard work of comprehensive physiological information sensitively. In view of the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of attitude, both of which have different points on the nature.Western medicine is to advocate the use of chemical and biological medicines, confrontational kill pathogens, which will be subject to intense survival fight pathogens resistant and resistant degeneration, making the drugs continue to fail, struggling to research new antibiotics; while the Chinese is different.By the doctrine of harmonious Confucian Culture and Chinese traditional culture, the emphasis is on a harmonious balance coordination idea.Chinese medicine: “Yin Pingyang secret, the spirit of governance, sick from Yasugi?”.It emphasized that the body’s immune antibody yin and yang harmony itself generated.The root cause of human disease is the result of yin and yang out of balance, causing the body’s immune function, will be an opportunity for the pathogen, which is to change this imbalance in the body environment, “loss of its surplus, to fill the gap.”Yin and yang harmony makes the human body, cure disease.It does not conflict with the pathogens directly, instead of using change their living conditions and lesions of the environment, taking method outflanking the siege, making the disease the trapped dead, standing still.A disease to be “backing off”, the pathogens that rely on habitat loss cut off supply of “forage”, making it lose survival condition is eliminated, reached a healing effect, so there is no resistance cause medicine. In terms of administration, medicine mostly chemicals; the plurality medicine from natural plant and animal nature, we are of flesh “affectionate nature product.”Effects of western medicine is relatively far greater than that of traditional Chinese medicine, will produce a lot of toxic side effects of traditional Chinese medicine becomes only preparations, it is worth beware of the medical community vigilance. Also in the method of treatment there is little difference, and that is general widespread popular treatment method is different from Western medicine.For example, no matter what kind of disease are the same drugs used to Regulation.Unlike Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine of this, the emphasis is on “personalized” treatment, traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment of the disease is very particular about science.Meticulous care of with a strict logical reasoning and dialectical.Western medicine is relatively easy to learn more, once you have several drugs can “step by step” to use in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease went.Chinese medicine can not do it!Chinese pay attention to is the “syndrome” personalized diagnosis and treatment means it.Chinese medicine: human blood rise and fall over time environment is constantly changing, the pathogenesis of the human body and the environment is also closely related to their quality varied conditions, can not be generalized.Therefore, proposed the “Heaven corresponding”, because, because, the people due to the rule of dialectical theory of governance ideas.The same is cold, there is heat and cold cold cool points, according to the rise and fall have specific patient’s body upright, the strength of the system, the process time of disease and other factors, treatment prescriptions issued different personalized.Is also a disease, diagnosis and treatment of Western medicine’s prescription may be the same.The traditional Chinese medicine’s prescription is different, we must be specific physical condition and the disease process itself, issuing different according to the cause of the patient’s prescription.This is a personalized diagnosis and treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine.Western medicine treatment technique is relatively simple, but changing the way traditional Chinese medicine, prescription addition and subtraction are enormous, there is the same kind of disease “and Masaharu anti-governance, the rule with the next rule” of the points, there are “according to the specific circumstances of the patient with the disease with different treatment, different diseases ” ‘priorities specimens’,’ hot due to use ‘,’ with the cold due to cold ‘,’ Yin Sesai with ‘,’ by The universal ” dual solution table ‘,’ attack supplementation ‘, points etc..Chinese medicine in the treatment of simple dialectical philosophy of ancient sages wise, to an extreme.Volkswagen often misunderstand the Chinese medicine is individualized diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods do not understand do not understand the one-sided results.Like a disease is also a prescription for some people to others may not effectively invalid, even counterproductive bad effect delay the disease.Chinese medicine prescription is issued targeted, based on individual circumstances different, saying, soldiers uncertain situation, the water is uncertain shape.Treatment is the same reason.Dialectical argumentation, in accordance with the specific circumstances of the patient, the prescription issued by different.Take for instance ginseng, red ginseng, white white ginseng, American ginseng points, red ginseng is hot; white is warm white ginseng; American ginseng are cool, to be treated as individuals are dialectical yin and yang, cold and heat of the constitution, that make up the complement, the complement should not mess up their own.Children up to a maximum of weak Pseudostellaria, are required to use under the guidance of a doctor by.So difficult to learn Chinese medicine, the emphasis is on personal characteristics of dialectical thinking of the experience of diagnosis and treatment, Chinese medicine doctors rely on long-term accumulation specializes in medical technology and experience, and does not allow for a little hasty and anxious nearly utilitarian, otherwise it is difficult to produce good results and effect become a quack, it is hated by ZhangZhongJing.Therefore, winter tonic had to go to find the doctor of Chinese medicine Chinese medicine hospital issued a personalized tonic prescription, are neither blind you eat nourishing prescription medicine to eat the wrong medicine, wasting little money thing, just the opposite, but sick, and on the wishes of the original contrary to. Before Zhongjing doctors to rely on parties symptomatic, diagnosis and treatment of specific conditions, lack of dialectical argument, the ideas personalized.Diagnosis and treatment of drug use what you want to cling to the dogma of the Cuban side, so that physicians are not unknowingly exploring the concept of diagnosis and treatment system.And on this basis is Zhongjing summed up the formation of a dialectical theory of governance ideological and theoretical comprehensive clinical Chinese medicine, wrote “Febrile Diseases” brilliant masterpiece, lit a clinical diagnosis using Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation for future generations of physicians who lamp treatment.Ancient and modern physicians are referred to as “medical saint” and “group party of the ancestors”, “medical side of the main progenitors.”Summing up the above examples we can see traditional Chinese medicine in the diagnosis and treatment process, he flashed everywhere, brilliant ideas dialectics of philosophical wisdom wise.Well, here I come to summarize the general system of Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment of it: the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine: dialectical theory of yin and yang, yin and yang, each root, restricting, transforming growth and decline, the five elements (Five Elements) on the dirty (white lungs , the wood is green, black kidney water, Firelight red, yellow Pitu.) Is allelopathy multiplying phase insult Theory.The relationship between yin and yang,, internal organs of the twelve meridians.Etiology (three reasons: internal, external, not internal not external.Six evils: the wind, cold, heat, wet, dry, fire.Dialectical relationship) pathogenesis (yin and yang, good and evil, etc.. TCM diagnosis: look and smell of the four diagnostic parameters and six by dialectical (yin and yang), the eight principles of dialectical (yin and yang, exterior and interior, cold and heat, the actual situation.) Wei Ying and Blood Gas. The use of traditional Chinese medicine: performance, four gas flavors (four gas: cool and cold and heat.Flavors: salty Xin Gan Suanku.) And lift ups and downs of the dialectical relationship between the use of. On Prescription Compatibility: monarch dialectical due to illness subtraction method flexible compatibility.Nine fear Eighteen of contraindications such as compatibility of dialectical thinking. In the treatment: “because, because of land, and people” “Heaven corresponding”, the specific circumstances of a specific treatment, dialectical therapy treatments personalized.Magical dialectical eight methods: 1.Cool and relieving sweat method; 2.Make the best use of the jetting method; 3.Priorities are prepared dismount; 4.And a method of relieving good; 5.Heat Chufan and Qing; 6.Wen Hui Yang in the temperature method; 7.Slow fading bulk erasing method; 8.Wasting tonic fill method.Rich forms: Tom wine Gao Wan Dan scattered, acupuncture and massage, cupping scraping, washing smoked ironing sit guides, and so on because people change and disease dialectical therapy.Topical within the rule and clever, flowers, endless. When ideology diagnosis and treatment of Chinese medicine to make it difficult to speak in this short period of two to three thousand words, you can only talk about a fur.I think going to write the novel “Generation Zhang Zhongjing” as a showcase of Chinese medicine treatment success and style of traditional Chinese medicine and science fiction.When a person novel is the art of thinking in images, to show the character of the affair, so try to avoid the boring work of medical knowledge, to plain concrete examples to illustrate the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, demonstrating generation of medical saint style.Just make a try Bale. Zhongjing “Febrile Diseases”, created a theoretical system of clinical diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine treatment.He pointed out the diagnosis and treatment of medical treatment for future generations of physicians direction.Today, many medical experts at home and abroad to study classical prescription Zhongjing medical knowledge as research subjects and genres, theory multiport.Some scholars said that the future of the world medical community will be more to this idea ZhangZhongJing applied to diagnosis and treatment, creating future innovation and development in the world of medicine to some foreign physicians said they research the future of Chinese medicine to catch up China, Chinese medicine must thriving future glory, for which we rejoice.

A Rolls-Royce mascot known as 'Spirit of Ecstasy' stands above the brand's logo on the front of a Rolls-Royce Ghost in a showroom in Singapore October 8, 2013.
In a $170 million settlement paid to the US government for bribery cases in six countries, Rolls-Royce has admitted that it paid $7.8 million in bribes to SOCAR, the Azerbaijan state-owned oil and gas company.
Rolls-Royce admits that RRESI through an intermediary made over $7.8 million in corrupt payments between 2000 and 2009 “to bribe foreign officials at SOCAR”. The suit calculated that RRESI earned profits of over $50 million on turbine deals in Azerbaijan.
The United Kingdom’s Serious Fraud Office identified Unaoil as an intermediary company in fraudulent oil deals with many companies including Rolls-Royce. According to reporting by The Guardian newspaper, Rolls-Royce was using Unaoil’s help to secure contracts in Azerbaijan as early as 2001.
The American suit also listed bribes in Angola, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Brazil and Thailand. Rolls-Royce has also reached settlements with the United Kingdom’s Serious Fraud Office and Brazil’s Ministerio Publico Federal for an additional $604.8 million for bribes paid in China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Russia and Thailand.
SOCAR has not yet responded to questions. | 2019-04-21T22:21:29 | https://meydan.tv/en/article/rolls-royce-admits-bribes-to-socar/?ref=article-related-artciles |
nrgaway claimed T373: Qubes templates: graphical updater (Apper) broken.
nrgaway added a comment to T373: Qubes templates: graphical updater (Apper) broken.
I am still working on this. I spent 3 days on it a few weeks ago. I ended up reviewing the source code of many packages, and did a short audit on packagekit and gnome-packagekit to find ways to resolve issue.
nrgaway added a comment to T162: qubes-whonix handling of /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime.
nrgaway added a comment to T395: integrate whonix-firewall-plugin.sh into whonix-gw-firewall.
It would be nice to eliminate anything that is not Qubes specific in qubes-whonix pacakge completely, or as much as possible. Anything you can take out of it by intergrating into Whonix would be a good thing.
nrgaway added a comment to T384: disable qubes.SetDateTime / qubes.SyncNtpClock in Qubes-Whonix VMs.
I did have a look at the software over the weekend, which BTW is GNU GPL v3 licensed.
nrgaway added a comment to T371: improve whonixcheck output in Qubes.
I agree inventing a new gui updater is not ideal.
I don't know if I understand the question. Are you trying to read from another VM from the one you are currently in?
From the VM the script is currently running in.
For example, if your are in the Whonix Gateway ProxyVM, are you trying to read something from the TemplateVM?
some script running inside an some AppVM and asks: "Am I a TemplateVM or StandaloneVM?"
qubesdb-read: replies "You are a TemplateVM."
or qubesdb-read: replies "You are a StandaloneVM."
Or what about writing some utility, maybe even part of a wrapper that verifies the source.list sources first?
There are two technical questions still open. I'll restate/clarify those.
Is it possible to read from within a script if it is running within a StandaloneVM or TemplateBasedVM using qubesdb-read or so? I mean something like qubesdb-read /standalone -> yes, no or qubesdb-read /template-based -> yes, no.
I have not tested it lately, but the same goes for the regular Debian templates ... sort of.
nrgaway added a comment to T351: let qubes-whonix master branch reflect latest commits.
nrgaway added a comment to T170: check Qubes build script for apt-get update network / gpg failure security issues.
nrgaway added a comment to T366: cover Qubes specific steps in advice by whonixcheck.
Do you mean TemplateVM or dom0.
nrgaway added a comment to T338: make tb-updater installation path configurable / change default installation directory to ~/.tb.
I will revert the change for now by adding a comment to the configuration file that sets the path.
I can revert to use original path although if talking about 'reasonable expectations for uniform default behaviour' and wanting to keep all the Whonix variations similar we may want to consider changing the path for all the other versions as well then since the /home/user/opt is the proper and defacto standard location path to install pre-built personal/private binary applications that are not XDG aware.
What ya mean? Is it causing issues? In following standards or defacto standards the ~/opt directory is the correct spot to place pre-built packages that do not adhere to XDG specs.
nrgaway added a comment to T248: whonixcheck workaround can be removed in qubes-whonix 10.
since I was still getting those errors in Whonix 10.
Could you just not change the apparmor-profile?
nrgaway added a comment to T344: whonix_firewall should add the --wait option to iptables statements.
nrgaway added a comment to T288: Qubes Whonix 10 - Testing Instructions and Issues.
nrgaway changed the status of T170: check Qubes build script for apt-get update network / gpg failure security issues from Open to Review.
The Qubes build script will fail the install of the template if any apt-get errors are returned.
nrgaway lowered the priority of T162: qubes-whonix handling of /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime from Normal to Low.
nrgaway lowered the priority of T173: triggers interest-noawait /etc/resolv.conf will probably not work from Normal to Low.
nrgaway closed T177: remove duplicate ipv4 forwarding disable as Resolved.
nrgaway closed T184: Add missing docstrings to Python classes and methods as Resolved.
nrgaway created T344: whonix_firewall should add the --wait option to iptables statements.
I think an option make more sense, so as not to confuse existing users on other platforms like virtualbox. I personally do not like any non standard directory within ~/home/user unless its a .hidden directory.
So user data will also be in ~/bin? Doesn't this require user user having write access to ~/bin?
nrgaway added a comment to T337: install Tor Browser by default in Qubes-Whonix.
The only reason is since I was under impression the file will be downloaded and may fail, compared to downloading the file initially and knowing it won't fail since the file is already in local repo directory.
I start it as user; never usually start a program as root.
You just place it in the ~/bin directory. That's where all of my 'personal' binaries go that are not part of a package.
It should fail as the build would not be complete.
I noticed tor-browser installs in the root of the users home directory.
nrgaway added a comment to T315: disable rads, whonix-initializer and swap-file-creator systemd unit files in qubes-whonix.
I don't consider enable SystemdUnit hacks if there are no other deb-installer solutions to ensure a proper state.
nrgaway added a comment to T322: obfsproxy not working on Qubes R3.
Thanks for all the info. I will test it out over the weekend!
nrgaway created T322: obfsproxy not working on Qubes R3.
nrgaway added a comment to T316: systemd units are not enabled by default.
That's a nasty upstream bug for deb-systemd-helper. You would have thought that would have been fixed for Jessie stable release. Do you know if there is a reported issue on it upstream?
nrgaway added a comment to T312: /etc/systemd/system/unit.service.d vs /lib/systemd/system/unit.service.d.
My understanding is distribution package file go in /lib/systemd/system.

nrgaway added a comment to T274: control-port-filter-proxy sd_notify support.
Difficult question. I am debating with myself. The normal case should be no daemons crashing. If they do crash. something is very wrong that we should apply a-real-fix (tm) to, no? On the other hand, If the service was crashing due to some hypothetical parsing issue, I would actually prefer the affected user noticing and reporting an issue. An automatically restarted service with no one noticing because of the auto restart would be bad. The daemon is very stable at this preset. How much code would be added by implementing the sd_notify protocol? A reason against would be if it's getting complexer so we actually understand it less. If it's just a few lines, that doesn't apply.
nrgaway added a comment to T306: rads skip mechanism.
I have already reviewed your PRs and there is nothing I can see to prevent build errors and I have also merged them into a test branch I am using for building this weekend. Will merge into master once everything confirmed working.
nrgaway added a comment to T304: systemd unit file for Tor package?.
The qubes-whonix-tor.service was implemented to solve the issue you were talking about where Tor would sometimes not start properly on boot.
sd_notify would be used if you want to have watchdog monitor the service. If the service does not respond within X amount of seconds (IE did not send a notification it was still active within this time period), then systemd would then restart the service.
nrgaway created T295: Speedup Whonix 11 build time.
Your instructions sound good. I recommend to hit the edit button for instruction posts and to copy it over to the wiki https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes/Upgrade_from_9_to_10 or so. Unfortunately, phabricator uses markdown and mediawiki uses mediawiki syntax.
nrgaway created T293: Maybe document Whonix services boot process.
Should prevent installation of that package.
I was able to identify all the issue that prevented complete and successful build.
Yes. Done, migrated (copied) qubes-whonix 10.0.5-1 from developers to testers repository.
Want to post a blog post? Otherwise I guess very few will notice these instructions. Got a blog account already?
I am not sure it's wise telling testers to enable the developers repository. That could break badly at some point. The developers repository is a playground for me to upload and install from packages where I am not 100% certain they are not going to break the package manager.

Let’s face it, winter in the Southern Hemisphere is often pretty peachy, with glorious summer days that can easily reach mid twenty temperatures interspersed with some colder days. It’s a great time of the year to reflect and show the one you love how much they mean to you. And what could be better than booking a romantic winter vacation in South Africa that is bound to ease the winter chills and put the magic back into your relationship! Wherever you are, romance is never far away, the days are often lovely and warm, and in the evenings cuddling up on the sofa with a lovely South African vintage next to a crackling fire is the perfect romantic ending to the day.
We thought we would get you in the mood by showcasing five of our favourite romantic winter getaways.

What could be more romantic than sleeping in a beautifully appointed luxury treehouse beneath a cloudless, star-filled sky in the middle of the African bush? At the Lion Sands Treehouses expect to fall in love all over again. Located where the Sabi Sands reserve and the Kruger National Park meet, the area is teaming with wildlife and birdlife. Known for its exceptional sightings, these game reserves are also home to an abundance of wildlife including the Big Five and countless bird species.
There are three enchanting treehouses to choose from, one more magical than the next. The Kingston Treehouse is constructed out of wood and glass so that you feel part of the magical African bush that is all around you. Similarly, Chalkley Treehouse is built around an ancient tree which is open to the natural elements and you are literally suspended above the wilderness. Tinyeleti Treehouse (meaning ‘Many Stars’) overlooks the Sabie River, perfect for observing the many animals that come here to quench their thirst. This is one of the best winter weekend getaways with romantic sunset dinners being served in the privacy of your treehouse, surprisingly warm hot water bottle-heated beds, an en-suite bathroom, romantic lanterns, the sounds of the African bush at night and a multitude of stars above.

Each suite has its own island theme and is individually furnished with romantic touches abounding everywhere. Clink champagne glasses and marvel at the spectacular panoramic ocean views. If you’re lucky, whales and dolphins can be spotted playing in the bay.
With panoramic Indian Ocean and iconic lighthouse views, set right on Umhlanga’s prestigious beachfront, The Oyster Box has ‘let’s be romantic’ written all over it. Oozing tones of style and colonial charm, it’s part of the international The Red Carnation Hotel Collection, winning numerous awards year-on-year, including the number one hotel in South Africa as voted by Trip Advisor Traveler’s Choice Awards 2016. Not surprising that many international celebrity newlyweds have honeymooned here!
This is the ideal place to woo your love and one of the best winter vacations: from balmy beach walks along the ocean in front of the hotel, to feeding each other fresh oysters and champagne in the Oyster Bar, curling up together in the private cinema room, feasting on extraordinary cuisine in The Grill Room or simply watching dolphins frolic in the waves from the Ocean Terrace …The Oyster Box whispers the promise of romance from every corner and can arguably be voted as one of South Africa’s most romantic and luxurious destinations. | 2019-04-21T01:12:54 | https://www.southerndestinations.com/our-top-5-romantic-winter-getaways/ |

As there are piles of Hyacinths surfaces when Taun Thaman Lake water level recedes, boats are unable to pass through and has become a barrier for boats and oarsmen.
Since last year, Hyacinths grew rampantly in the lake and more of the overgrowth have showed itself when the water level started to recede. It’s now covering half of the lake’s area. Therefore, clearing works has to be done daily in order for transports across the lake to be regular.
“As there are too many Hyacinths growing in Taun Thaman Lake, it is difficult to row boats. As the Hyacinths piles are moved along with the wind and water, it is also blocking the waterway. Last year, Mandalay municipal had to clear piles of Hyacinths in Taun Thaman Lake. If the Municipal will help us again, it will be cleared within a short time as they have access to heavy machinery. For us boatmen, we had to clear the plants with our hands and it isn’t as effective as using heavy machinery,� said Soe Win, from Taun Thaman Lake Boatmen Association.
Most of the northern part of the Lake is covered with Hyacinths and the jetty near U-Bein Bridge is also covered with Hyacinths. Those that lives off the lake have to put time into clearing away the plants every day.Every year, tourism peak season and Hyacinths growth season overlaps in Taun Thaman Lake.

The Commission’s Public Relations Officer, Fabian Yame disclosed this to newsmen on Thursday in Jalingo.
He said 43, 626 PVCs are yet to be collected while, 1,733, 479 have been claimed by their owners as at the end of the collection exercise on Monday.
He also added that an additional 428,727 new voters made a difference between the total number of registered voters in 2015 and 2019 elections.
According to him, the number of registered voters in the 2015 general elections was 1,348,358, while those for the 2019 general elections is 1,777,105. | 2019-04-23T09:55:03 | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/02/1733479-pvcs-collected-in-taraba-inec/ |
As the owner (Landlord) below is a guide to what you are legally required to provide your tenants with, in regard to gas safety, electrical safety and energy performance of the property.
Landlords must arrange maintenance by a Gas Safe Registered engineer for all pipework, appliances and flues, which they own and have provided for their tenants use. Landlords must also arrange for an annual gas safety check to be carried out every 12 months by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. Landlords must keep a record of the safety check for 2 years and issue a copy to each existing tenant within 28 days of the check being completed and issue a copy to any new tenants before they move in.
Technically, there is no such thing as an electrical safety certificate. The certificate being referred to is most likely a Periodic Inspection Report. It is not a legal requirement to hold an electrical certificate for any property you are letting. So, you can take a calculated risk by not getting one. However, it will probably help your case if the tenant tries to hold you liable for an electrical accident in the property. Some estate agents may require you to provide a Periodic Inspection Report (PIR). In which case the guidelines are that this document should be renewed every 5 years.
A PAT test or Portable Appliance Test. Again, not a legal requirement. However, if your tenant gets electrocuted by a kettle with a frayed cord that you have provided, you are likely to be held liable. Our advice is to make sure you provide as few electrical appliances in the property as possible. So, while you may have to provide a fridge, do you really need to provide a microwave, vacuum cleaner and kettle? Probably not. So remove them, put them on ebay and get a PAT test for anything with a plug that remains in the house.
You'll only need one of these if you are looking for a new tenant. It's now a legal requirement to market the property with an energy rating. So you'll probably need to supply the lettings agent with one. But it will cover you for 10 years. If you keep the same tenant, you don't have to provide an EPC.
Since 6 April 2007, all deposits taken by landlords and letting agents under Assured Shorthold Tenancies (ASTs) in England and Wales must be protected by a tenancy deposit protection scheme. Landlords and letting agents must not take a deposit unless it is dealt with under a tenancy deposit scheme. To avoid any disputes going to court, each scheme is supported by an alternative dispute resolution service (ADR). Landlords and letting agents can choose between two types of scheme; a single custodial scheme and two insurance-based schemes. | 2019-04-24T00:51:53 | https://www.landlordnationwide.com/tenant-eviction-services/health-saftey-legals/ |

For over 100 years boarding has been an integral part of Blackrock. It has ensured that the College is a vital living breathing organism for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Situated in the historic Castle building, the boarding school will offer your son a warm, personalised experience in a vibrant, thriving community. While the majority of our boys are Irish, we are enriched by the presence of boys from all over the world.
Boarders, including the first Irish President, Éamon de Valera, are and always have been unique members of the Blackrock Community. Their experience of the College is by its very nature a very comprehensive one, and therefore traditionally the bond between the boarders and Blackrock has been particularly strong. The Hall of Residence (known as “The Castle”) provides a safe environment where boys aged 12-19 will have a caring, fulfilling experience which helps them to mature to their full potential.
The College’s multi-disciplinary curricular programme will engage and enthuse him and add colour to his daily routine. The Chapter system reinforces bonds between boys of different ages. Opportunities abound to be involved in sport, music, theatre, public speaking and social outreach.
The Castle seeks to support each boy to fulfil his dreams. Your son’s individual talents and interests will be fostered with many links to the surrounding community. As a boarding school in a city suburb, there are lots of options for recreational activities. However, the daily structured routine provides the foundation on which boys thrive and can reach for excellence.
In the Castle we cherish the concept of community. Your son will be one of some 90 boys. It is vital that he feels cherished, protected and important. The College’s slogan “Be Caring, Be There, Be Truthful, Be Grateful” is particularly relevant. A happy boarding facility depends on all members acting in the best interests of each other. Faith formation is the bedrock of all College activities and your son will be challenged to commit to Christian ideals. He will experience a faith programme organised by the Chaplain and built on the liturgical calendar. The boys learn to exercise good judgement and are prepared for a life of faith and commitment.
We include parents as a central hub of our community with weekly reporting and engagement in your son’s life. We become part of your extended family. Social events help parents to get to know each other and visits are always welcome. Excellent road, rail and bus links facilitate transport for parents and boys. A direct bus service to the airport is an advantage for international students.
The Castle is busy, vibrant and inclusive. Your son will flourish here; he will be happy, focused and committed, generous in spirit, giving of himself, conscious of the common good and the importance of community. He will develop bonds which will support him throughout his life.
Together we will watch over him growing up, experiencing a full, interesting and richly varied life, guiding him always to being the best he can be, providing him with the knowledge and strength of character to participate fully in modern society. | 2019-04-25T08:17:26 | https://www.blackrockcollege.com/about/blackrock-boarding-school-dublin-2 |
Murphy blogs every month over on Banjo Hangout and we will be cross-posting these blogs so they'll be all here in one place. This was originally published Monday, December 02, 2013.
I have been writing about playing the banjo for 30 years but I have never written an article about practicing. Why not? Well, probably because I hate anybody telling me what to do and also because most of the practice suggestions I read struck me as bombastic BS--idealistic, ivory-tower imaginings that seemed useless to me or, at best, not practical for adult students with lives and families. I never followed any set pattern when I was learning, I just got up, got a cuppa, and started studying Earl at 16 rpm in my pajamas! I thought my students would figure out what worked best for them and follow their own "rules," which many of them do. But finally I have come to understand that not everybody is self-propelled and that some people desperately want and need guidelines. With that in mind, I will present my own extremely general and hopefully not too bombastic suggestions in hopes that maybe a few of these ideas prove useful.

Now that we've got the "by ear" question out of the way (non-believers notwithstanding!) (it was last months' blog post...), let's look further into the method behind my madness (or vice versa!). It's not enough to simply learn by ear--you've got to have some "method and order" to your learning. And that's where the Murphy Method comes in. I've done your homework for you. I've been teaching banjo for over 40 years now and I have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't.
Posted in banjo, By Murphy and tagged banjo hangout, song order on July 9, 2014 by Murphy Henry.
Yes, indeed, Murphy Henry IS my banjo hero. She was able to teach me to play banjo using her "Murphy Method" when all other methods and books I tried failed me. I know there have been a number of threads on the BHO wherein some members claim her method doesn't teach by ear. I am living proof that she DOES teach by ear. I am grateful to her for that, because I can sit down and come up with a break for a song without resorting to "tabbing it out."
Her method initially involves learning songs by rote, but then one progresses to recognizing "licks" from songs previously taught by her from HEARING them. Once the student recognizes the sounds, they can apply their previously learned licks to new tunes.
I know different teaching methods work better for different people: some folks learn better with tab. I could not, so her way of teaching was absolutely PERFECT for me. As a result, I am comfortable playing in jams, performing breaks to songs I've never played before. That, to me, is what enjoying music is all about.
Yep, Murphy Henry is my banjo hero!
Thanks, Bill, for the glowing recommendation. We always love to hear student success stories. Happy picking!

Some of you may be following the thread over on Banjo Hangout about learning by tab versus learning by ear. I sent in a post yesterday offering my two cents worth (guess which side I’m on!) and I thought I might expand on some of those ideas here -- although I realize I’m preaching to the choir.
As I said on BHO, when I started teaching banjo, back about 1975, I was using tab! I quit because it didn’t work. My students weren’t learning to play, and frankly, I was having to listen to some really bad music. Students were playing stuff like “Lonesome Road Blues” from the Scruggs Book and leaving out whole portions of the tune without realizing it. It was painful. And it left me nowhere to go as a teacher—do you just keep throwing songs at a student when they can’t play the earlier and easier ones?
But no. After a while I realized (a slow process) that even if you were learning by ear, there is a big difference in learning tunes and playing the banjo. My students could learn tunes all day long and play them well—no problem. But this alone did not make them banjo players. As my book And There You Have It chronicles, I realized students had to learn to hear chord changes and they had to play with other people. Thus the Misfits Jam emerged, where, finally “my people” really began to learn to play.
Could they have done this with tab? I don’t think so.
In addition to that, I offer my own experience: while I did use tab (from the Scruggs Book) to learn a few songs, I think my experience with “Sally Goodwin” set me back for years—I couldn’t “hear” the timing, and played it “wrong” (although not out of time) for a long time. I remember playing it in front of the Flint Hill Flash one time and he was completely bewildered as to how I made it come out “right” in the end. I couldn’t tell him because I didn’t know! (I guess the silver lining to my "Sally Goodwin" experience is that I can now make it easy for students to learn it “right” on our Advanced Earl DVD. You’re welcome!) Then there were many others that I COULDN’T learn from the tab including “Ballad of Jed Clampett” and “Blue Ridge Cabin Home.” Not to mention those that made such little sense I didn’t even try them: “Careless Love” and “Little Maggie” come to mind.
So you can see I didn’t just dream up this “by ear” Method. I started it because it works! And thanks to all of you who have used the Murphy Method and who are out there spreading the word!

We try to keep an eye on what’s going on internet-wise regarding the Murphy Method. At the moment there’s a lively thread over on the Banjo Hangout titled “Why are People so Hyped About The Murphy Method.” I know that some of you readers like to talk about your TMM experiences, so if you haven’t already, that’s a good place to do it.
Also, our dobro instructor Mark Panfil maintains a little blog over on his MySpace page with dobro-istic news and happenings, so check that out if you want to see what he’s up to.

For the first time ever here at the Murphy Method we're having a half-price sale on all our banjo DVDs and videos. Those of you who get our newsletter found out about it on Monday and boy oh boy, has the response been great. We never could have predicted how many people would want to stock up on DVDs when given the opportunity. If you're not on our emailing list, you probably just happened by our site and saw the notice on the front page. If you'd like to take a look at what we send out on a monthly basis, here's our August newsletter to check out.
If, after seeing our newsletter, you'd like sign up and get in on sales and new products at the earliest opportunity, you may do so here.
I periodically check out Banjo Hangout to see what they are saying about us. Usually I'm please with what I find, like today, for example. I read in this thread how satisfied people have been with our customer service. That is one thing we consider of #1 importance. We want our customers and students to be completely satisfied and we will do everything in our power to make that happen. If you order our products from a different retailer, there is only so much we can do, but if you order from us we'll pretty much bend over backwards for you.
I'm pausing in the middle of editing a lesson I just taped (Is that still a valid verb to use? "Taped" meaning "recorded on my coumputer.") for "Just Because." A couple students wanted to learn the version that Murphy recorded on her M&M Blues CD, so yesterday I sat down and learned it. I made my student Kyle act as a guinea pig and I taught it to him at his lesson yesterday. The lessons always come out better if I've had a chance to practice them on in-person students first. If anyone else wants a copy, just let me know.
One last item to mention, and that's the fact that we now have our Rawhide video available on DVD!! It is the last of our banjo videos to be converted so we now have every single one of the old videos onto DVD. Finally!! We're doing a little happy dance. And it, too, is on sale for half price, until August 31st.

And check this out, here you can actually rent Murphy Method DVDs online. To be clear, I had never heard of these people before a couple days ago, so we know nothing about them and can't necessarily vouch for them, but it's kinda cool that you CAN rent our DVDs.

How To Be A Doctor In Australia ?
1- First, you will have to complete an undergraduate course of study at a university and then move on to postgraduate study. Courses of study for doctors include bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery. Your medical courses will take approximately 5 to 7 years to complete.
2- Next, secure a position as an intern at a hospital. Your internship will usually last only 1 year.
3- Then, work as a resident at a hospital. A residency can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years. Following the residency, you will need to apply to enter a training program for your area of specialty.
4- Finally, complete the training program and gain acceptance to that medical college. Typical training programs will last approximately 4 to 6 years. Before the end of the training program, you will take a series of exams to determine your acceptance to that medical college.
5- Lastly, continue your education after the end of the training program. Doctors in Australia must retain a certain number of continuing medical education course credits in order to stay accepted within the medical college.
6- If you want to pursue a specialty, you'll have to complete another training program that's separate from your physician training program. Specialties in Australia include anesthetics, palliative care, psychiatry and dermatology. Besides a bachelor of medicine or bachelor of surgery degree, potential doctors have the option of earning a 4-year graduate entry degree. This degree takes 4 years to earn instead of the 5-to-6-year bachelor of medicine or bachelor of surgery degrees. | 2019-04-26T13:14:31 | https://forum.facmedicine.com/threads/how-to-be-a-doctor-in-australia.8639/ |

Salsa, o how I love thee!
They're not exactly "trickling in" anymore.
The pre-supper scramble: which became pasta with sausages and lemony grilled zucchini.
Homemade: you'll NEVER guess what kind.
Sweet corn with blackberry sauce, yum.
It's beginning to look a lot like ... late summer.
This same time, years previous: the new bakery, grape parfaits, puppy love, walking the line, chocolate yogurt cake, oatmeal jacked up, why I don't teach my kids science, around the house, dreaming, pasta with sauteed peppers and onions, and losing my marbles.
"Sunset" reminds me of Peter Pan... And the cat photo made me (and my husband!) laugh out loud!
On Facebook I referred to it as "A Peter Pan spotting." We (or you and my husband, because he's the one that pointed it out) think alike.
I'm SO jealous of the berries and tomatoes! We here in hawaii can only wish to grow such a huge variety of produce in our gardens. We manage a few hens for eggs and a backyard garden (raised beds) but the heat and humidity limit what we can grow. Are your tomatoes San Marzano or a Roma variety? Beautiful!
Roma, I think. And boy, are they prolific.
That's a puppy, not Charlotte. But she IS looking better.
sweet corn ice cream!!! That's a fun one :) Right now I've got Gucci muu muu in my freezer. Yes. The family is divided on this one.
I want to hear total volume of tomato preservation at the end of the season. What all are you doing with them? I want to roast some tomatoes yet this fall (your method) and make more ketchup. | 2019-04-20T12:29:55 | https://www.jennifermurch.com/2014/09/the-quotidian-9114.html |

There is no reason to avoid dental care due to anxiety or fear of discomfort. At Clover Smile Studio, we offer sedation dentistry which can allow you to relax comfortably while we perform your dental treatments. Sedation helps calm patients with dental anxiety, gag reflex or other issues, ensuring the best oral care for their smiles without any discomfort. We offer a few options in sedation, including nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation for a calm, relaxing visit to our office for dental treatments.
A small pill can make your next visit for dental treatment completely stress-free. Oral conscious sedation uses an oral medication that is prescribed prior to your appointment to help you relax before and during your visit. In most cases, you will take the medication about an hour before your appointment. This will put you into a relaxed state, calming any anxiety or fear you may have. This can also be used for those undergoing lengthy procedures or with a severe gag reflex, helping to make the experience less stressful.
“Laughing gas,” or nitrous oxide, has been used for many decades as a safe sedation technique for dental patients. Just breathing in the gas can put you into a euphoric state within minutes, helping individuals with mild to moderate dental anxiety. Even children can safely use nitrous oxide, which can help keep them calm and ensure their dental treatments are completed efficiently without interruption.
If you are interested in using sedation during your dental treatments, talk to one of our dentists before your scheduled treatment. Options like oral conscious sedation require that you do not drive while under the influence of the medication. So, it is important to have someone with you on the day of your visit. Contact Clover Smile Studio so we can help you have a dental visit without stress or fear. | 2019-04-19T06:34:33 | https://www.cloversmilestudio.com/sedation |

A chance to meet City Council candidates.
On October 20th, members of First Christian Church will be attending the Common Ground Accountability Session where the community will have the opportunity to question all of the Vallejo City Council candidates about their stands on social justice issues such as homelessness, hunger, and jobs. The event will be from 3:00-4:30 pm in the Multi-Purpose Room of Vallejo Ninth-Grade Academy on Nebraska St. across from Vallejo High (the former Vallejo Middle School). | 2019-04-20T01:12:28 | http://newsandevents.vallejochristian.org/2013/09/a-chance-to-meet-city-council-candidates.html |
Spaghetti is a well loved pasta by many. Some say that it tastes better the next day. Some say that after two days, the taste seems to wane a bit.
Whatever your thoughts are about this wonderful dish, it is very important, that if you cannot eat it all in one sitting, store it properly.
Read the heart breaking story, from 2008, when a 20 year old student, ate leftover spaghetti that ended fatally. Fox News, Alexandria Hein, January 28, 2019: Student Died After Eating Leftover Pasta In Rare Food Poisoning Case. | 2019-04-19T09:15:17 | https://600wrec.iheart.com/featured/memphis-morning-news/content/2019-01-28-days-old-left-overs-should-be-left-alone/ |
Successful pivot and boosted motivation!
The past Milestones have not always been easy. However, with time and dedication we came to a good idea that fit within our competences and within the time remaining. Our last pivot seems to be good and we are now going full speed on this project.
Oversee and its product, the Winko, is a little snap-joining device that helps supervisors to be sure that the kids they have to take care of are safe and stay around. This device will alert the supervisor for example if a kid falls in the water or goes to far away from the supervisor. We aim to target pre-primary and primary schools, as well as orphanages that already manifested an interest for such a device.
We reached Milestone 4 today and it went quite well despite the fact that we weren’t able to present our demo due to a software issue. What a frustrating feeling after all the work our engineers spent on it during the previous days and even last full night.
After having presented this Milestone we received feedbacks with some areas of improvement of course, but the feedbacks were very positive and encouraging. That motivates us tons! Moreover, the Swiss TV show us their interest in following us during a part of this project while in China!
The next steps will be to pursue the existing work and put together the engineering prototype and the design oriented one.
We are looking forward to giving you more information on the final steps of this not always easy but surely beautiful and enriching experience! | 2019-04-20T04:19:43 | https://chi.camp/2018/05/04/successful-pivot-and-boosted-motivation/ |
French skippers Mathieu RICHARD and Claire LEROY both hold on to the Open and Women's top spot in the ISAF World Match Race Rankings released 5 December.
Mathieu RICHARD (FRA) may have lost out to Ian WILLIAMS (GBR) in the battle for the ISAF Match Racing World Championship title, but the 31 year old Frenchman holds on to the world #1 spot in the Open Rankings. In the Women's Rankings, Claire LEROY (FRA), who was named 2007 ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year in November, stays in the top spot for an incredible 20th consecutive Ranking release.
After hitting the top spot for the first time in October, Mathieu RICHARD (FRA) maintains his world #1 status, largely thanks to his victory at the penultimate World Tour event, the ISAF Grade WC Brasil Sailing Cup. Although RICHARD missed out on the ISAF Match Racing World Championship, the Rankings measure performance across a two-year span and by that measure he just has the edge over newly crowned World Champion and world #2 Ian WILLIAMS (GBR). The young French skipper is a remarkably consistent performer: of 33 ISAF Graded events within the two years he has only once finished outside the top ten, and had top-five finishes on 24 occasions.
For WILLIAMS his win at the Monsoon Cup, which also secured him the World title, has helped him close the gap on RICHARD to just 122 points, with these two skippers now a long way ahead of third place Paolo CIAN (ITA).
Like RICHARD, WILLIAMS, aged 30, is one of the younger generation of match racing stars who have steadily come of age on the World Tour. A little over two years he backed his talent by giving up his job as a lawyer and making a full-scale commitment to professional sailing and has never looked back. Last year WILLIAMS finished second to Peter GILMOUR (AUS) in the World Championship standings, and this time round went one better, ending the season in a blaze of glory by defeating GILMOUR to win the last World Tour event of 2007 in Malaysia. As the final act in the match racing year it was a fitting finale and a perfect summation of a year in which the new stars of the match racing world have outshone the older generation.
Behind RICHARD and WILLIAMS, CIAN and Sebastien COL (FRA) remain unchanged at #3 and #4, whilst Bjorn HANSEN (SWE) gains once place up to equal his career best of #5 after a podium finish in Malaysia. Elsewhere there is little movement in the top 20 as the 2007 season comes to a close. Peter WIBROE (DEN) and Torvar MIRSKY (AUS) trades places again with the Dane regaining the world #10 spot, although the Aussie youngster impressed again at the Monsoon Cup. A little further back, Jesper RADICH (DEN) just manages to hold on to his world top 20 place after victory at the ISAF Grade 2 Berlin Match Race.
With the year approaching its end there have been a number of new national champions crowned. Amongst them Matteo SAVELLI (ITA) beat off tough competition to take the Italian national title and climbs up from #173 to #129 in the Rankings. Over in New Zealand, Rod DAVIS got the better of Emirates Team New Zealand team mate and skipper Dean BARKER to win the Kiwi nationals and jump straight into the Rankings at #368.
Claire LEROY (FRA) has now held on to the world #1 spot in the Women's Rankings for 20 consecutive Ranking releases, an incredible run that started way back in May 2005. The reigning ISAF Women's Match Racing World Champion and the 2007 ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year has also extended her lead over world #2 Lotte MELDGAARD PEDERSEN (DEN) up to 297 points.
However LEROY has not had it all own way in the last couple of months of the year. At the ISAF Grade 1 Brasil Women's Cup at the start of November, Sally BARKOW (USA) got the better of the Frenchwomen in the final to win her third ISAF Grade 1 match racing regatta of the year. Whilst LEROY has been one of the most consistent and regular performers on the women's circuit, BARKOW's appearances have been more infrequent and interspersed with her Yngling Olympic campaign. However the American skipper has been no less impressive than her French counterpart, finishing on the podium in every one of the five ISAF Graded events she has entered. Despite only counting six of a possible eight events in her Ranking points total, she maintains her world #5 spot.
In fact, it's a case of as you were in the top five, with Katie SPITHILL (AUS) and Christelle PHILIPPE (FRA) also remaining unmoved at #3 and #4 respectively.
The only significant change at the top sees another Yngling campaigner, Silja LEHTINEN (FIN) reclaim her spot in the world top ten. After winning the ISAF Grade 2 Ladies Only Match Race in Hamburg, LEHTINEN climbs up three places to #10. The move of notes comes from Brazil's Caroline BEJAR, who gains four places up to #41 after her fifth place finish at the Brasil Sailing Cup. Laura SALERNO (ARG), who finished one place behind BEJAR in Brazil, is the first Argentinean to join the Women's Rankings, going straight in at #116. | 2019-04-21T06:39:37 | https://members.sailing.org/news/5675.php |

Structurally, the movie box office is pointed back to the future, but with a couple of twists.
As we approached mid-July, according to data compiled by Boxofficemojo.com, the domestic box-office take for films released in 2018 was startlingly top-heavy. According to numbers posted Friday—before the current weekend is factored in—the Top Ten films, led by Black Panther, accounted for $3.34 billion, or 58.8 percent, of the $5.68 billion in sales for 362 movies. So 352 films were left to split $2.34 billion, for an average of about $6.6 million each (though a great deal of that went to the Second Ten, leaving crumbs for the rest).
In the year’s second half, of course, performance will even out a bit, as awards contenders and holiday films diminish the lead by first-half blockbusters. But it appears likely that, for the first time in recent memory, the Top Ten films will finish the year with 40 percent or more of the total box-office. Several of the biggest movies, including Jurassic World 2 and Incredibles 2, are still selling tickets. At the same time, several current Top Ten movies have taken in less than $200 million, a situation that will change by year’s end, when fresh blockbusters—Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch? Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse?—will push every movie in the top rank above the $200 million mark, as has happened each year since 2011.
Top-loading of the box-office is a clear trend. For the last three years, at least a third of domestic tickets sales have gone to the first ten movies. In the prior 17 years, the figure was generally closer to 25 percent, and fell as low as 22.2 percent in 2000, according to Boxofficemojo data. In that year, How The Grinch Stole Christmas led the pack with about $260 million, but the top films accounted for only $1.72 billion of the $7.74 billion taken in by 374 releases.
So the big are getting bigger. The middle is shrinking. And almost everybody in the film business knows it. But what’s surprising—at least to me—is that the pattern has precedent.
In the early 1980s, in fact, box-office top-loading was even more extreme than it has yet become today. In 1984, when Beverly Hills Cop was the big hit, the Top Ten films accounted for $1.27 billion of $3.35 billion in sales for the films released that year or 37.9 percent. That’s a bit higher than the recent high of 36.1 percent, achieved in 2015, when Star Wars: The Force Awakens dominated sales.
In 1982, the Top Ten, led by E. T.: The Extraterrestrial, eventually accounted for 43.9 percent, or $1.26 billion, of $2.87 billion in sales for all the year’s releases.
Thus, top-loading isn’t entirely new. But the current trend is marked by two changes that will affect industry decisions for years to come.
First, as veteran film consultant David Gross has pointed out in a survey introducing his new Franchise Entertainment Research company, the gap between performance by franchise films like the Marvel movies and one-offs like American Sniper or Gravity has widened. “Non-franchise B.O. fell in 2017 to its lowest level ever,” Gross wrote.
Second, the total number of releases has grown sharply, even as ticket sales cluster at the top. Boxofficemojo.com tracked 738 films last year, up from 132 back in 1982, when sales were similarly top-heavy.
Through the intervening decades, a steadily growing flow of movies from independent and quasi-independent companies helped to spread sales through the Top Hundred. Now, almost all but the first ten movies will survive through digital and foreign sales, or not at all. | 2019-04-18T17:09:39 | https://deadline.com/2018/07/box-office-future-top-ten-films-2018-black-panther-star-wars-market-share-1202426684/ |

1815.506-70 Debriefing of offerors - Major System acquisitions.
When a written acquisition plan is not required by 1807.103, the contracting officer must document in the contract file the source selection approach to be used (e.g. full trade-off utilizing mission suitability, cost/price, and past performance factors; lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA), as described in FAR 15.101-2, where there is no tradeoff; price performance tradeoff (PPTO) where there is a tradeoff between price and past performance factors; or a combination of approaches) and the rating method (numerical scoring, acceptable/unacceptable, adjectival ratings & definitions) to be used, how they will be used, and how these will result in selection of the best value to the government. Identify all factors and their relative importance to one another and how the non-cost factors relate to the cost factor. To the extent that subfactors are utilized under any of the factors, the solicitation shall also provide the relative importance of each subfactor to one another under the specific factor.
(c)(6)(A) Except for acquisitions described in 1815.300-70(b) contracting officers shall issue draft requests for proposals (DRFPs) for all competitive negotiated acquisitions expected to exceed $10,000,000 (including all options or later phases of the same project). The contracting officer may waive the requirement for a DRFP upon written determination that the expected benefits will not be realized given the nature of the supply or service being acquired. The DRFP shall not be waived because of poor or inadequate planning. DRFPs shall invite comments from potential offerors on all aspects of the draft solicitation, including the requirements, schedules, proposal instructions, and evaluation approaches. Potential offerors should be specifically requested to identify unnecessary or inefficient requirements. If the DRFP contains Government-unique standards, potential offerors should be invited to identify voluntary consensus standards that meet the Government's requirements as alternatives to Government-unique standards cited as requirements, in accordance with FAR 11.101 and OMB Circular A-119. Comments should also be requested on any perceived safety, occupational health, security (including information technology security), environmental, export control, and/or other programmatic risk issues associated with performance of the work. When considered appropriate, the statement of work or the specifications may be issued in advance of other solicitation sections.
(B) Contracting officers shall plan the acquisition schedule to include adequate time for issuance of the DRFP, potential offeror review and comment, and NASA evaluation and disposition of the comments.
(C) When issuing DRFPs, potential offerors should be advised that the DRFP is not a solicitation and NASA is not requesting proposals.
(D) Whenever feasible, contracting officers should include a summary of the disposition of significant DRFP comments with the final RFP.
(E) If performance-based payments are planned to be used in a competitive negotiated acquisition, the DRFP shall request potential offerors to suggest terms, including performance events or payment criteria. Contracting officers shall use that information to establish a common set of performance-based payments parameters in the formal RFP when practicable.
(f)(i) Upon release of the formal RFP, the contracting officer shall direct all personnel associated with the acquisition to refrain from communicating with prospective offerors and to refer all inquiries to the contracting officer. This procedure is commonly known as a "blackout notice" and shall not be imposed before release of the RFP. The notice may be issued in any format (e.g., letter or electronic) appropriate to the complexity of the acquisition. Contracting officers shall ensure the blackout notice is widely distributed throughout the Center and Headquarters, as appropriate.
(ii) Blackout notices are not intended to terminate all communication with offerors. Contracting officers should continue to provide information as long as it does not create an unfair competitive advantage or reveal proprietary data.
(a) Installations shall establish procedures to review all RFPs before release. The levels of management review should be commensurate with the dollar value and complexity of the acquisition. When appropriate given the complexity of the acquisition or the number of offices involved in solicitation review, centers should consider use of a single review meeting called a Solicitation Review Board (SRB) as a streamlined alternative to the serial or sequential coordination of the solicitation with reviewing offices. The SRB is a meeting in which all offices having review and approval responsibilities discuss the solicitation and their concerns. Attendance should be limited to key senior personnel and offices with review and approval responsibilities only. Actions assigned and changes required by the SRB shall be documented.
(b) When source evaluation board (SEB) procedures are used in accordance with 1815.370, the SEB shall review and approve the RFP prior to issuance.
(c) When LPTA, PPTO, or other source selection procedures are used in accordance with 1815.300-70(a)(1)(ii), the evaluation team, per FAR 15.303(b)(1), shall review and approve the RFP prior to issuance.
For RFPs requiring Headquarters review and approval, the procurement officer shall send a copy of the RFP to the Assistant Administrator for Procurement, through the Program Operations Division. Transmission of this copy should be made via an encrypted email using NASA Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). If the RFP is too large for transmission via email, transmission of the RFP should be coordinated with the cognizant Program Operations Division Analyst.
In all RFPs for supplies or services for which a technical proposal is required, proposal instructions shall require offerors to identify and discuss risk factors and issues throughout the proposal where they are relevant, and describe their approach to managing these risks.
(c) To the maximum extent practicable, requirements should be articulated as performance-based specifications and performance work statements that focus on required outcomes or results.
(b) The information required in proposals should be kept to the minimum necessary for the source selection decision.
(a) Technical and contracting personnel will agree on page limitations for their respective portions of an RFP. Unless approved in writing by the procurement officer, the page limitation for the contracting portion of an RFP (all sections except Section C, Description/ specifications/work statement) shall not exceed 150 pages, and the page limitation for the technical portion (Section C) shall not exceed 200 pages. Attachments to the RFP count as part of the section to which they relate. In determining page counts, a page is defined as one side of a sheet, 8 1/2" x 11", with at least one inch margins on all sides, using not smaller than 12-point type. Use by offerors of smaller font sizes for non-standard text (e.g. graphics, tables, charts, figures, captions, etc.) is permitted, if appropriate. However, such fonts shall be no smaller than 8-point, shall be utilized only where appropriate, and shall not be utilized to circumvent or avoid RFP proposal page limitations. Foldouts count as an equivalent number of 8 1/2" x 11" pages. The metric standard format most closely approximating the described standard 8 1/2" x 11" size may also be used.
(b) Page limitations shall be established in solicitations for proposals submitted in all competitive acquisitions. Accordingly, technical and contracting personnel will agree on page limitations for each portion of the proposal. Unless a different limitation is approved in writing by the procurement officer, the total initial proposal, excluding title pages, tables of content, and cost/price information, shall not exceed 500 pages using the page definition of 1815.204-70(a). Page limitations shall also be established for final proposal revisions. The appropriate page limitations for final proposal revisions should be determined by considering the complexity of the acquisition and the extent of any discussions. The same page limitations shall apply to all offerors. Pages submitted in excess of specified limitations will not be evaluated by the Government. The contracting officer shall return one copy of the excess pages removed from the proposal to the offeror, advising the offeror that they were over the limit and will not be evaluated. The contracting officer shall retain one copy of each offeror’s proposal in the official contract file and annotate which excess proposal pages were not evaluated and returned to the offeror.
(a) NASA personnel participating in any way in the evaluation may not reveal any information concerning the evaluation to anyone not also participating, and then only to the extent that the information is required in connection with the evaluation. When non-NASA personnel participate, they shall be instructed to observe these restrictions.
(b)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(2) of this section, the procurement officer is the approval authority to disclose proposal information outside the Government. If outside evaluators are involved, this authorization may be granted only after compliance with FAR 37.2 and 1837.204, except that the determination of unavailability of Government personnel required by FAR 37.2 is not required for disclosure of proposal information to JPL employees.
(iii) SBIR and STTR proposals.
(3) If JPL personnel, in evaluating proposal information released to them by NASA, require assistance from non-JPL, non-Government evaluators, JPL must obtain written approval to release the information in accordance with paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this section.
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, non-Government evaluators, except employees of JPL, shall be appointed as special Government employees.
(2) The installation personnel office when the release of proposal information is to be made by the installation.
(3) SBIR and STTR proposals.
(b) The FAR late proposal criteria do not apply to Announcements of Opportunity, NASA Research Announcements (see 1852.235-72), and Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase I and Phase II solicitations, and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) solicitations. For these solicitations, proposals or proposal modifications received from qualified firms after the latest date specified for receipt may be considered if a significant reduction in cost to the Government is probable or if there are significant technical advantages, as compared with proposals previously received. In such cases, the project office shall investigate the circumstances surrounding the late submission, evaluate its content, and submit written recommendations and findings to the selection official or a designee as to whether there is an advantage to the Government in considering it. The selection official or a designee shall determine whether to consider the late submission.
(a) The contracting officer shall insert FAR 52.215-1 in all competitive negotiated solicitations.
(a) The contracting officer shall insert the provision at 1852.215-77, Preproposal/Pre-bid Conference, in competitive requests for proposals and invitations for bids where the Government intends to conduct a preproposal or pre-bid conference. Insert the appropriate specific information relating to the conference.
(b) When it is not in the Government’s best interest to make award for less than the specified quantities solicited for certain items or groupings of items, the contracting officer shall insert the provision at 1852.214-71, Grouping for Aggregate Award. See 1814.201-670(b).
(c) When award will be made only on the full quantities solicited, the contracting officer shall insert the provision at 1852.214-72, Full Quantities. See 1814.201-670(c).
(d) The contracting officer shall insert the provision at 1852.215-81, Proposal Page Limitations, in all competitive requests for proposals.
(i) When acquiring complex services, hardware development, or research and development that include technically complex requirements, COs should use a mission suitability factor, numerically score the proposals, and use the SEB procedures in 1815.370.
(ii) When acquiring routine, non-complex, repetitive follow-on services, non-developmental hardware, or non-research and development supplies or services, COs may use other source selection procedures such as lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA), as described in FAR 15.101-2, where there is no tradeoff, price performance tradeoff (PPTO), or other source selection approach except those at NFS 1815.370.
(2) Estimated dollar values of acquisitions shall include the values of multiple awards, options, and later phases of the same project.
(1) Announcements of Opportunity (see Part 1872).
(2) NASA Research Announcements (see 1835.016-71).
(3) The Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) pilot program under the authority of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 638).
(4) Architect and Engineering (A&E) services (see FAR 36.6 and 1836.6).
(5) Price Performance Tradeoff (PPTO) procedures for construction projects when the following applies: the Government develops and provides the design specifications in the solicitation; the offerors are not required to submit technical proposals; and selection is based solely upon price and past performance factors.
(a) The Source Selection Authority (SSA) shall be established at the lowest reasonable level for each acquisition and documented in the acquisition plan or PSM presentation. The SSA for center acquisitions shall be documented in the acquisition plan or PSM. For acquisitions designated as Headquarters selections, the SSA will be identified as part of the Master Buy Plan process (see 1807.71).
(A) Approve the source selection approach, rating method, evaluation factors, subfactors, the weight of the evaluation factors and subfactors when used, and any special standards of responsibility (see FAR 9.104-2) before release of the RFP, or delegate this authority to appropriate management personnel.
(B) Appoint the source selection team. However, when the Administrator will serve as the SSA, the Official-in-Charge of the cognizant Headquarters Program Office will appoint the team.
(C) Provide the source selection team with appropriate guidance and special instructions to conduct the evaluation and selection procedures.
(b)(ii) See 1803.104-70 for restrictions on participating in evaluation or selection of proposals.
(b)(2) Approval authorities for Acquisition Plans and Procurement Strategy Meetings are in accordance with 1807.103.
(c)(4)(A) Small Business Utilization, including the small business subcategories – SDB, HUBzone, VOSB, SDVOSB, and WOSB utilization concerns, shall be evaluated by the SSA or appropriate evaluation team member as a subfactor under the Mission Suitability factor or as a separate factor, as appropriate. The Small Business Utilization factor/subfactor shall provide for a separate and distinct evaluation of the Small Business plans, including compliance with FAR 19.704 requirement. Previous small business subcontracting performance will be rated as part of the Past Performance factor.
(B) COs shall specify NASA recommended goals for each small business category in solicitations that require the submission of a subcontracting plan under FAR 52.219-9. NASA recommended goals for SDB may not exceed 5 percent. If a requirement offers low levels of small business subcontracting opportunities, the contracting officer may choose not to utilize recommended goals and have the contractor propose goals.
(1) Clear identification of which small businesses will be used in actual contract performance, and how they will be used.
(2) Use of small business subcontractors for meaningful work, including high technology work.
(3) Inclusion of enforceable small business subcontracting plans.
(4) Support of the mentor protégé program.
(5) Participation in outreach initiatives.
(a) Typically, NASA establishes three evaluation factors: Mission Suitability, Cost/Price, and Past Performance. The evaluation factors are developed by the evaluation team and approved by the SSA. Evaluation factors may be further defined by subfactors. Evaluation subfactors should be structured to identify significant discriminators, the essential information required to support a source selection decision. Too many subfactors undermine effective proposal evaluation. All evaluation subfactors should be clearly defined to avoid overlap and redundancy. Further sub-division below the subfactor level is prohibited.
(b) Mission Suitability factor, if used.
(2) The Mission Suitability factor may identify evaluation subfactors to further define the content of the factor. Each Mission Suitability subfactor shall be weighted and scored. The adjectival rating percentages in 1815.305(a)(3)(A) shall be applied to the subfactor weight to determine the point score. The number of Mission Suitability subfactors is limited to five. The Mission Suitability evaluation subfactors and their weights shall be identified in the RFP.
(i) For cost reimbursement acquisitions, the Mission Suitability evaluation shall consider the adequacy of the offeror’s proposed approach to meeting the requirements of the solicitation including the appropriateness of the offeror’s proposed resources. COs shall ensure that the solicitation notifies offerors that a lack of resource realism may adversely affect their Mission Suitability scores, and result in cost realism adjustments under the cost factor.
(c) Cost/Price factor. This factor evaluates the reasonableness and, if necessary, the cost realism, of proposed costs/prices. The Cost/Price factor is not numerically weighted or scored.
(1) This factor indicates the relevant quantitative and qualitative aspects of each offeror's record of performing services or delivering products similar in size, content, and complexity to the requirements of the instant acquisition.
(i) A list of contracts similar in size, content, and complexity to the instant acquisition, showing each contract number, the type of contract, a brief description of the work, and a point of contact from the organization placing the contract. Normally, the requested contracts are limited to those received in the last three years. However, in acquisitions that require longer periods to demonstrate performance quality, such as hardware development, the time period should be tailored accordingly.
(ii) The identification and explanation of any cost overruns or underruns, completion delays, performance problems, and terminations.
(3) The contracting officer may start collecting past performance data before proposal receipt. One method for early evaluation of past performance is to request offerors to submit their past performance information in advance of the proposal due date. The RFP could also include a past performance questionnaire for offerors to send their previous customers with instructions to return the completed questionnaire to the Government. Failure of the offeror to submit its past performance information early or of the customers to submit the completed questionnaires shall not be a cause for rejection of the proposal nor shall it be reflected in the Government's evaluation of the offeror's past performance.
(4) The contracting officer shall evaluate the offeror's past performance in occupational health, security, safety, and mission success (e.g., mishap rates and problems in delivered hardware and software that resulted in mishaps or failures) when these areas are germane to the requirement.
(v) Document any programmatic risk to mission success, e.g., technical, schedule, cost, safety, occupational health, security, export control, or environmental. Risks may result from the offeror's technical approach, manufacturing plan, selection of materials, processes, equipment, or as a result of the cost, schedule, and performance impacts associated with its approach. Risk evaluations must consider the probability of the risk occurring, the impact and severity of the risk, the timeframe when the risk should be addressed, and the alternatives available to meet the requirements. Risk assessments shall be captured as part of strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies, as applicable. Identified risks and the potential for cost impact shall be considered in the cost or price evaluation.
(a)(1) Cost or price evaluation.
(c) Are consistent with the various elements of the offeror's technical proposal.
(a) The probable cost to the Government of each proposal, including any recommended additions or reductions in materials, equipment, labor hours, direct rates, and indirect rates. Any adjustments in direct and indirect costs, other than minor computation errors, must be fully explained and documented and, where applicable, traceable to the technical evaluation. The probable cost should reflect the Government’s best estimate based on cost resulting from the offeror's proposal after all known adjustments have been considered.
(b) The identification of the differences between the probable cost and offeror’s proposed costs regarding business methods, operating procedures, and practices as they affect cost.
In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a) (2) (ii) and (iv)).
(B) The evaluation may be limited to specific areas of past performance considered most germane for the instant acquisition. It may include any or all of the items listed in FAR 42.1501, and/or any other aspects of past performance considered pertinent to the solicitation requirements or challenges. Regardless of the areas of past performance selected for evaluation, the same areas shall be evaluated for all offerors.
(C) Questionnaires and interviews may be used to solicit assessments of the offeror's performance, as either a prime or subcontractor, from the offeror's previous customers.
(D) All pertinent information, including customer assessments and any offeror rebuttals, will be made part of the source selection records and addressed in the evaluation of past performance.
(A) Mission Suitability subfactors, when used, shall be evaluated using the following adjectival ratings, definitions, and percentile ranges.
A comprehensive and thorough proposal of exceptional merit with one or more significant strengths. No deficiency or significant weakness exists.
A proposal having no deficiency and which demonstrates over-all competence. One or more significant strengths have been found, and strengths outbalance any weaknesses that exist.
A proposal having no deficiency and which shows a reasonably sound response. There may be strengths or weaknesses, or both. As a whole, weaknesses not off-set by strengths do not significantly detract from the offeror’s response.
A proposal having no deficiency and which has one or more weaknesses. Weaknesses outbalance any strengths.
A proposal that has one or more deficiencies or significant weaknesses that demonstrate a lack of overall competence or would require a major proposal revision to correct.
(B) When contracting on a cost reimbursement basis, a cost realism analysis shall be performed consistent with FAR 15.404-1(d).
(a)(4) The cost or price evaluation, specifically the cost realism analysis, often requires a technical evaluation of the proposed costs elements. Contracting officers may provide technical evaluators a copy of the cost volume or relevant information from it to use in the analysis.
(b) The contracting officer and the SSA, if applicable, are authorized to make the determination to reject all proposals received in response to a solicitation.
(3) It contains major deficiencies or omissions or out-of-line costs which discussions with the offeror could not reasonably be expected to cure.
(b) The contracting officer shall document the rationale for discontinuing the initial evaluation of a proposal in accordance with this section.
(3) Reject the proposal and cancel the solicitation.
(b) The procedure in 1815.305-71(a) also applies when the number of proposals equals the number of awards contemplated or when only one acceptable proposal is received.
(c)(2) A total of no more than three proposals shall be a working goal in establishing the competitive range. Field installations may establish procedures for approval of competitive range determinations commensurate with the complexity or dollar value of an acquisition.
(d)(3)(A) The contracting officer shall identify any cost/price elements that do not appear to be justified and encourage offerors to submit their most favorable and realistic cost/price proposals, but shall not discuss, disclose, or compare cost/price elements of any other offeror. The contracting officer should question inadequate, conflicting, unrealistic, or unsupported cost information, differences between the offeror's proposal and most probable cost assessments, cost realism concerns, differences between audit findings and proposed costs, proposed rates that are too high/low, and labor mixes that do not appear responsive to the requirements. No agreement on individual cost/price elements or a "bottom line" is necessary.
(B) The contracting officer shall discuss contract terms and conditions so that a "model" contract can be sent to each offeror with the request for final proposal revisions. If the solicitation allows, any proposed technical performance capabilities above those specified in the RFP that have value to the Government and are considered proposal strengths should be discussed with the offeror and proposed for inclusion in that offeror’s "model" contract. If the offeror declines to include these strengths in its "model" contract, the Government evaluators should reconsider their characterization as strengths.
(e)(1) In no case shall the contracting officer relax or amend RFP requirements for any offeror without amending the RFP and permitting the other offerors an opportunity to propose against the relaxed requirements.
(D) Establish a page limit for FPRs.
(ii) Approval of the procurement officer is required to reopen discussions.
(iii) Proposals are rerated and, for mission suitability, rescored based on FPR evaluations. Scoring or rating changes between initial and FPRs shall be clearly traceable.
(1) A Source Selection Decision (SSD) is a deliberative decision that is documented in the Source Selection Statement, reflecting the thought process behind the selection and representing the independent judgment of the SSA. The SSA has broad discretion in determining the manner and extent to which technical, past performance, and cost evaluation results of the evaluation team are used, subject only to the tests of rationality and consistency with the evaluation criteria identified in the solicitation. The adjectival ratings and numerical scoring presented to the SSA, which represent the evaluation team’s relative ranking of proposals within the mission suitability factor, when the mission suitability is included as an evaluation factor cannot be the sole basis for a selection decision. Instead, the selection shall be based upon a comparative assessment of the relative discriminators that includes a discussion of the benefits or risks/detriments associated with the discriminators of the selected offeror over all other offerors considering all evaluation factors (i.e. past performance factor, cost/price factor, other non-price factors).
(2) All significant evaluation findings shall be fully documented and considered in the source selection decision. The source selection decision shall document the SSA’s rationale supporting the selection. The source selection decision shall document the mission suitability subfactor ratings and overall mission suitability score, if applicable. Selection is made on the basis of the evaluation criteria established in the RFP.
https://prod.nais.nasa.gov/portals/pl/documents/Source_Selection_Guide_March_2012.pdf. Source selection statements must describe: the acquisition, the evaluation procedures, the substance of the Mission Suitability evaluation, when used, and the evaluation of the Cost/Price and Past Performance factors. The statement must also address unacceptable proposals, the competitive range determination, late proposals, or any other considerations pertinent to the decision. The source selection statement shall include the successful offeror’s overall proposed cost or price (contract award value) as well as the successful offeror’s overall evaluated cost or price (probable). The source selection statement shall not disclose the proposed or overall evaluated cost or price for unsuccessful offerors. Instead, the source selection statement shall describe the overall proposed and probable cost or price of unsuccessful offerors in relative terms of comparison to the successful offeror’s cost or price, e.g. offeror ABC’s probable cost or price was minimally or substantially, higher or lower than the successful offeror’s cost/price. The source selection statement shall not reveal any confidential business information, to include trade secrets and commercial or financial information prohibited from disclosure by FAR 24.202 or exempt from release under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552 and the Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. 1905. Questions about confidential business information, disclosure of such information, and contents of source selection statements shall be directed to the Office of General Counsel or Office of Chief Counsel. Except for certain major system acquisition competitions (see 1815.506-70), source selection statements shall be releasable to competing offerors and the general public upon request. The statement shall be available to the contracting officer or other Debriefing Official to use in postaward debriefings of unsuccessful offerors and shall be provided to debriefed offerors upon request. If the source selection and contract award are not protested or otherwise challenged, the contracting officer shall post the source selection statement on the Federal Business Opportunities web page https://www.fbo.gov/ not later than 11 calendar days after the final debriefing has been conducted. If the source selection or contract award is protested or otherwise challenged, the source selection statement shall not be posted and shall be controlled as sensitive source selection information until the protest or challenge has been resolved. The source selection statement shall be posted for a period of not less than 30 days.
(4) Once the selection decision is made, the contracting officer shall award the contract.
(a) The source evaluation board (SEB) procedures shall be used for those acquisitions identified in 1815.300-70(a)(1)(i). The NASA Source Selection Guide provides agency-wide guidance to individuals participating in the Source Evaluation Board (SEB) process and is available on the NASA Headquarters Procurement Library at https://prod.nais.nasa.gov/portals/pl/sol_to_award.html.
(b) The SEB assists the SSA by providing expert analyses of the offerors' proposals in relation to the evaluation factors and subfactors contained in the solicitation. The SEB will prepare and present its findings to the SSA, avoiding trade-off judgments among either the individual offerors or among the evaluation factors. The SEB will not make recommendations for selection to the SSA. Although the SSA may seek advice or opinions about the SEBs findings from key senior personnel or management during the executive session (if held) that follows the SEB presentation, the source selection decision must reflect the SSA’s sole independent decision and judgment. Any individual participating in an executive session with the SSA shall be cleared in advance of the source selection briefing of any conflict of interest consistent with NPR 1900.3 and NPD 1900.9, Ethics Program Management.
(1) The SEB shall be comprised of competent individuals fully qualified to identify the strengths, deficiencies, weaknesses, and risks associated with proposals submitted in response to the solicitation. Advance planning is required to identify fully-engaged and dedicated resources as early as possible in the process. Dedicated resources are necessary to complete early acquisition milestones in a timely manner, e.g., defining the requirements, acquisition strategy, etc. The SEB shall be appointed as early as possible in the acquisition process, but not later than acquisition plan or procurement strategy meeting approval.
(2) While SEB participants are normally drawn from the cognizant installation, personnel from other NASA installations or other Government agencies may participate. When it is necessary to disclose the proposal (in whole or in part) outside the Government, approval shall be obtained in accordance with 1815.207-70.
(3) When Headquarters retains SSA authority, the Headquarters Office of Procurement, Program Operations Division must concur on the SEB appointments. Qualifications of voting members, including functional title, grade level, and related SEB experience, shall be provided to the cognizant Program Operations Division analyst.
(1) The organization of an SEB is tailored to the requirements of the particular acquisition. This organization can range from the most streamlined and efficient situation, where the SEB conducts the evaluation and fact-finding without the use of committees or panels/consultants (as described in paragraphs (d)(4) and (5) of this section) to a highly complex situation involving a major acquisition where two or more committees are formed and these, in turn, are assisted by special panels or consultants in particular areas. The number of committees or panels/consultants shall be kept to a minimum.
(2) The SEB Chairperson is the principal operating executive of the SEB. The Chairperson is expected to manage the team efficiently without compromising the validity of the findings provided to the SSA as the basis for a sound selection decision.
(3) The SEB Recorder functions as the principal administrative assistant to the SEB Chairperson and is principally responsible for logistical support and recordkeeping of SEB activities.
(4) An SEB committee functions as a fact-finding arm of the SEB, usually in a broad grouping of related disciplines (e.g., technical or management). The committee evaluates in detail each proposal, or portion thereof, assigned by the SEB in accordance with the established evaluation factors and subfactors and summarizes its evaluation in a written report to the SEB. The committee will also respond to requirements assigned by the SEB, including further justification or reconsideration of its findings. Committee chairpersons shall manage the administrative and procedural matters of their committees.
(5) An SEB panel or consultant functions as a fact-finding arm of the committee in a specialized area of the committee's responsibilities. Panels are established or consultants named when a particular area requires deeper analysis than the committee can provide.
(6) The total of all such evaluators (committees, panels, consultants, etc. excluding SEB voting members and ex officio members) shall be limited to a maximum of 20, unless approved in writing by the Assistant Administrator for Procurement. Requests to exceed the evaluation team size limitation shall provide a detailed justification and shall be sent to the Headquarters Office of Procurement, Program Operations Division.
(1) Voting members of the SEB shall include people who will have key assignments on the project to which the acquisition is directed. However, it is important that the appointment of members be tempered to ensure objectivity and to avoid an improper balance. It may even be appropriate to designate a management official from outside the project as SEB Chairperson.
(2) Non-government personnel shall not serve as voting members of an SEB.
(3) The SEB shall review the findings of committees, panels, or consultants and use its own collective judgment to develop the SEB evaluation findings reported to the SSA. All voting members of the SEB shall have equal status as rating officials.
(4) SEB membership shall be limited to a maximum of 7 voting individuals. Wherever feasible, an assignment to SEB membership as a voting member shall be on a full-time basis. When not feasible, SEB membership shall take precedence over other duties.
(ii) A senior, key technical representative for the project.
(iii) A senior Safety and Mission Assurance (SMA) representative, as required based upon the type of acquisition.
(iv) Committee chairpersons (except where this imposes an undue workload).
(1) The number of nonvoting ex officio (advisory) members shall be kept as small as possible. Ex officio members should be selected for the experience and expertise they can provide to the SEB. Since their advisory role may require access to highly sensitive SEB material and findings, ex officio membership for persons other than those identified in paragraph (f)(3) of this section is discouraged.
(2) Nonvoting ex officio members may state their views and contribute to the discussions in SEB deliberations, but they may not participate in the actual rating process. However, the SEB recorder should be present during rating sessions.
(i) Chairpersons of SEB committees, unless designated as voting members.
(ii) The procurement officer of the installation, unless a voting member.
(iii) The contracting officer responsible for the acquisition, unless designated a voting member.
(iv) The Chief Counsel and/or designee of the installation.
(v) The installation small business specialist.
(1) If committees are used, the SEB Chairperson shall send them the proposals or portions thereof to be evaluated, along with instructions regarding the expected function of each committee, and all data considered necessary or helpful.
(iii) The committee findings for each proposal, including documentation of all significant strengths, strengths, deficiencies, weaknesses, and significant weaknesses which significantly affected the evaluation and any reservations or concerns, including supporting rationale, which the committee or any of its members want to bring to the attention of the SEB.
(3) The SEB process must be adequately documented. Clear traceability must exist at all levels of the SEB process. All reports submitted by committees or panels will be retained as part of the SEB records as outlined in paragraph (k) of this section.
(4) Each voting SEB member shall thoroughly review each proposal and any committee reports and findings. The SEB shall rate or score the proposals for each evaluation factor and subfactor according to its own collective judgment. The SEB shall document the results of rating and scoring of proposals.
(1) The SEB Chairperson shall brief the SSA on the results of the SEB evaluation to permit an informed and objective selection of the best source(s) for the particular acquisition.
(viii) The final adjectival ratings and scores to the subfactor level.
The presentation to the SSA shall include the total mission suitability point score for each offeror’s proposal. An adjectival rating (e.g. excellent, very good, etc.) shall be assigned for each mission suitability subfactor, but an adjectival rating shall not be assigned for the total mission suitability factor of each offeror’s proposal. The SEB shall compute the total mission suitability point score by adding all of the mission suitability subfactors points assessed, with the maximum possible total mission suitability point score being 1000 points. The total mission suitability point score does not represent a precise measure of the relative merit of any one offeror’s proposal, rather it shows an offeror’s relative standing by providing the total points each offeror’s proposal is assessed out of the possible1000 points so that the offerors can be compared.
(ii) Not change the established evaluation factors, subfactors, weights, or scoring systems, or the substance of the SEB's findings. They may, however, advise the SEB to rectify procedural omissions, irregularities or inconsistencies, substantiate its findings, or revise the presentation.
(4) The SEB recorder will coordinate the formal presentation including arranging the time and place of the presentation, assuring proper attendance, and distributing presentation material.
(5) For Headquarters selections, the Headquarters Office of Procurement, Program Operations Division will coordinate the presentation, including approval of attendees. When the Administrator is the SSA, a preliminary presentation should be made to the head of the contracting activity and to the Official-in-Charge of the cognizant Headquarters Program Office.
(i) A source selection statement shall be prepared in accordance with 1815.308. For installation selections, the installation Chief Counsel or designee will prepare the source selection statement. For Headquarters selections, the Office of General Counsel or designee will prepare the statement.
(ii) The competitive range determination(s).
(iii) The unsuccessful and successful notices sent to offerors.
(iv) If committees were utilized, the committee’s evaluation for each evaluation factor, including all identified significant strengths, strengths, significant weakness, weaknesses, and deficiencies, together with supporting rationale, which the committee or any of its members brought to the attention of the SEB.
(v) Documentation of any clarifications and discussions held with offerors during the source selection process.
(vi) Initial and final reports containing the SEB’s consensus findings, including minority reports, if any.
(vii) All presentations from the SEB to the SSA, including those containing the SEB’s evaluation and rating of proposals.
(viii) The source selection decision.
(2) Extra copies of offerors’ proposals should be stored in a secure facility and shall be properly disposed of after the time period for filing a protest has expired.
(3) Contracting officers shall handle electronic copies of materials containing source selection information in the same manner as the hardcopy information.
(c)(4) Waivers of the requirement for submission of certified cost or pricing data shall be prepared in accordance with FAR 1.704. A copy of each waiver shall be sent to the Headquarters Office of Procurement, Contract and Grant Policy Division.
(a) NASA has waived the requirement for the submission of certified cost or pricing data when contracting with the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC). This waiver applies to the CCC and its subcontractors. The CCC will provide assurance of the fairness and reasonableness of the proposed price. This assurance should be relied on; however, contracting officers shall ensure that the appropriate level of data other than certified cost or pricing data is submitted by subcontractors to support any required proposal analysis, including a technical analysis and a cost realism analysis. The CCC also will provide for follow-up audit activity to ensure that any excess profits are found and refunded to NASA.
(b) NASA has waived the requirement for the submission of certified cost or pricing data when contracting for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program Phase II contracts. However, contracting officers shall ensure that the appropriate level of data other than certified cost or pricing data is submitted to determine price reasonableness and cost realism.
(a)(1) For sole source procurement actions, when requiring data other than certified cost or pricing data, contracting officers must clearly communicate to the contractor the data that will be needed to determine that the proposed price is fair and reasonable. The contracting officer should allow contractors to submit such data in the format consistent with their disclosed estimating practices and shall not require the contractor to use Government price/cost templates, models, or forms. For competitive procurement actions, when requesting data other than certified cost or pricing data, the use of price/cost templates, models, or forms is authorized in those situations where the contracting officer determines, with the concurrence of the Center cost/price analysis subject matter expert, that price reasonableness or cost realism cannot be determined efficiently without the use of the Government template, model, or form; and that there are demonstrated benefits to utilizing this Government template, model, or form that outweigh the offerors’ cost to complete the Government template, model, or form. This written determination shall be included in the contract file and a copy sent to the Headquarters Office of Procurement, Contract and Grant Policy Division.
(a)(4) A contractor that refuses to provide requested data other than certified cost or pricing data may be rendered ineligible for award unless the Head of the Contracting Activity determines otherwise, in accordance with FAR 15.403-3(a)(4). As such, it is important that contractor refusals to provide requested pricing information receive the attention of management at levels higher than the contracting officer, and that contracting officer’s document the extent of their efforts to obtain the requested data. In these circumstances, the basis for the agreed-to price may not be an appropriate basis for comparison in determining price reasonableness in future procurements. Contracting officers should request the necessary data other than certified cost or pricing data again in future procurements of this item/service and not just rely on the prior price as being a valid basis for determining price reasonableness on future procurements.
(b) For other than firm-fixed-price competitions, only data other than certified cost or pricing data necessary to ensure price reasonableness and assess cost realism should be requested. For firm-fixed-price competitions, the contracting officer shall not request any cost data, except for the data specifically required by FAR 22.1103, unless cost analysis is warranted, as permitted by FAR 15.404-1(d)(3). Cost analysis may be warranted in those situations where the price analysis indicated that the requirements may not be fully understood by one or more competing offeror(s) such as when proposed price(s) appear unreasonable or unrealistically low in consideration of the proposed approach(es) giving rise to concerns of poor quality, service shortfalls, or potential default. Under firm-fixed price service contract competitions, labor rate and fringe benefit data may be obtained to be used in future wage determination adjustments under FAR 52.222-41 and FAR 52.222-6. This data, when requested, does not necessarily need to be part of the competition’s price evaluation.
(b)(2) If a certificate of current cost or pricing data is made applicable as of a date other than the date of price agreement, the agreed date should generally be within two weeks of the date of that agreement.
(e)(2)(A) The NASA Technical Evaluation Report Template and Guide provide agency-wide guidance to individuals performing a technical analysis on a contractor’s proposal and are available on the NASA Headquarters Procurement Library at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/portals/pl/cost_price_audit.html. The NASA Technical Evaluation Report Template shall be used to document the results of all sole source contractor proposal technical evaluations greater than the simplified acquisition threshold. The Director of the Headquarters Office of Procurement, Contract and Grant Policy Division is the approval authority to utilize a template (such as a Center derived technical evaluation web-based system) other than the NASA Technical Evaluation Report Template.
(a)(1)(A) When the required participation of the ACO involves merely a verification of information, contracting officers should obtain this verification from the cognizant DCMA office.
(B) When the cost proposal is for a product of a follow-on nature, contracting officers shall ensure that the following items, at a minimum are considered: actuals incurred under the previous contract, learning experience, technical and production analysis, and subcontract proposal analysis. This information may be obtained through NASA resources or the cognizant DCMA ACO or DCAA.
(C) Before requesting field pricing support, contracting officers should determine what information can be obtained from NASA resources, so as to be able to tailor field pricing support requests to the minimum amount of information truly needed to conduct the cost/price analysis.
(1) Audit requests shall only be made after the CO performs an analysis and concludes that other resources (DCMA, internal analysis, etc.) will not provide the information necessary to determine that the cost is reasonable and realistic.
(2) Audit requests should not be requested for proposed contracts or modifications in an amount less than $10M for Fixed-Price proposals and $100M for Cost-Type proposals unless there are exceptional circumstances which are explained in the audit request.
(3) Audit requests shall not be requested for proposal rate and factor analysis/verification. All such requests should be made through the cognizant DCMA ACO.
(4) Audit requests must be approved and submitted to DCAA only by Center Cost/Price Analysts. Center Cost/Price Analysts shall coordinate all such requests with Headquarters Office of Procurement, Contract and Grant Policy Division.
(5) Center Cost/Price Analysts will work with the DCAA HQ Financial Liaison Advisor (FLA) at email [email protected] to arrange contact with field audit offices and facilitate the audit request. Contact Headquarters Office of Procurement, Contract and Grant Policy Division for name and phone number of current DCAA HQ FLA.
(1) DCMA field pricing audit requests shall only be made after the CO performs an analysis and concludes that other resources (e.g. internal analysis) will not provide the information necessary to determine that the cost is reasonable and realistic.
(2) Proposal rate and factor analysis/verification and business system status requests shall be requested only by Center Cost/Price Analysts. Center Cost/Price Analysts should first check DCMA’s Consolidated Business Analysis Repository (CBAR) for this information. If information is not in CBAR, request for this information should be to the cognizant DCMA ACO for your particular procurement. If cognizant DCMA ACO is unknown, contact the DCMA NASA Support Desk operated by DCMA NASA Product Operations at email [email protected] or phone 210-295-0121 to obtain contact information for cognizant DCMA ACO.
(3) DCMA pricing support should be requested through the cognizant DCMA ACO for your particular procurement. If cognizant DCMA ACO is unknown, contact the DCMA NASA Support Desk operated by DCMA NASA Product Operations at email [email protected] or phone 210-295-0121 to obtain contact information for cognizant DCMA ACO.
(F) Use of contractor to perform contract audit services.
(1) Except as provided under paragraph (a)(1)(F)(2) of this section, the use of a contractor to perform contract audit services is not allowed at contractor locations where DCAA currently conducts contract audit services. In these situations, the contracting officer should elevate any issues with untimely audit services to the Field Audit Office (FAO) manager and/or Regional Audit Manager (RAM). If additional assistance is needed to obtain timely DCAA services, contracting officers may request such assistance from the Headquarters Office of Procurement, Contract and Grant Policy Division.
(2) In those instances in which DCAA has audit cognizance for a particular contractor yet DCAA is unable to perform contract audit services, contracting officers can use a contractor to perform the required contract audit services in lieu of DCAA.
(i) For proposal, financial capability, and accounting system reviews, interim and final contract billings, contract audit closing statements, requests for equitable adjustments, contract terminations, defective pricing reviews, compliance with Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), earned value management (EVM) systems, and estimating systems reviews.
(ii) For incurred cost audit services, purchasing systems, and other internal controls within the contractor's operational environment, if the portion of the current contractor fiscal year work performed for NASA is more than 50 percent of their business base.
(3) Awarded under the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) or the Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) programs.
(2) Use the structured approach method in developing profit or fee objectives for negotiated subcontracts.
(F) Contracts having unusual pricing situations when the procurement officer determines in writing that the structured approach is unsuitable.
NASA Form 634 shall be used in performing the analysis necessary to develop profit or fee objectives as required in 1815.404-4(b)(1)(i)(a). Contracting officers shall complete and document the profit or fee analysis in the contract file in accordance with the instruction sheet attached to the NF 634.
(a) The structured approach was designed for determining profit or fee objectives for commercial organizations. However, the structured approach shall be used as a basis for arriving at profit/fee objectives for nonprofit organizations (FAR 31.7), excluding educational institutions (FAR 31.3), in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section. It is NASA policy not to pay profit or fee on contracts with educational institutions.
(2) Granting of financing through letters of credit.
(3) Facility requirements of the nonprofit organization.
(4) Other pertinent factors that may work to either the advantage or disadvantage of the contractor in its position as a nonprofit organization.
NASA's policy is to pay profit or fee only on definitized contracts.
(b)(i) Before conducting negotiations requiring installation or Headquarters review, contracting officers or their representatives shall prepare a prenegotiation position memorandum that contains the requirements set forth in 1815.406-170.
(ii) A prenegotiation position memorandum is not required for contracts awarded under the competitive negotiated procedures of FAR 15.3 and 1815.3.
(a) Introduction. Include a description of the acquisition and a history of prior acquisitions for the same or similar items. Address the extent of competition and its results. Identify the contractor and place of performance (if not evident from the description of the acquisition). Document compliance with law, regulations and policy, including JOFOC, synopsis, EEO compliance, and current status of contractor systems (see FAR 15.406-3(a)(4)). In addition, the negotiation schedule should be addressed and the Government negotiation team members identified by name and position.
(b) Type of contract contemplated. Explain the type of contract contemplated and the reasons for its suitability.
(7) Any risk management issues, e.g., mission success, safety, occupational health, information technology, export control, security, and environmental risks.
(1) A parallel tabulation, by element of cost and profit/fee, of the contractor's proposal and the Government's negotiation objective. The negotiation objective represents the fair and reasonable price the Government is willing to pay for the supplies/services. For each element of cost, compare the contractor's proposal and the Government position, explain the differences and how the Government position was developed, including the estimating assumptions and projection techniques employed, and how the positions differ in approach. Include a discussion of excessive wages found (if applicable) and their planned resolution. Explain how historical costs, including costs incurred under a letter contract (if applicable), were used in developing the negotiation objective.
(2) Significant differences between the field pricing report (including any audit reports) and the negotiation objectives and/or contractor's proposal shall be highlighted and explained. For each proposed subcontract meeting the requirement of FAR 15.404-3(c), there shall be a discussion of the price and, when appropriate, cost analyses performed by the contracting officer, including the negotiation objective for each such subcontract. The discussion of each major subcontract shall include the type of subcontract, the degree of competition achieved by the prime contractor, the price and, when appropriate, cost analyses performed on the subcontractor's proposal by the prime contractor, any unusual or special pricing or finance arrangements, and the current status of subcontract negotiations.
(3) The rationale for the Government's profit/fee objectives and, if appropriate, a completed copy of the NASA Form 634, Structured Approach–Profit/Fee Objective, and DD Form 1861, Contract Facilities Capital Cost of Money, should be included. For incentive and award fee contracts, describe the planned arrangement in terms of share lines, ceilings, and cost risk.
(e) Negotiation approval sought. The PPM represents the Government's realistic assessment of the fair and reasonable price for the supplies and services to be acquired. If negotiations subsequently demonstrate that a higher dollar amount (or significant term or condition) is reasonable, the contracting officer shall document the rationale for such a change and request approval to amend the PPM from the original approval authority.
Each contracting activity shall establish procedures to review all prenegotiation position memoranda. The scope of coverage, exact procedures to be followed, levels of management review, cost/price analyst review, and contract file documentation requirements should be directly related to the dollar value and complexity of the acquisition. The primary purpose of these reviews is to ensure that the negotiator, or negotiation team, is thoroughly prepared to enter into negotiations with a well-conceived, realistic, and fair plan.
(a) When a prenegotiation position has been selected for Headquarters review and approval, the contracting activity shall submit to the Office of Procurement, Program Operations Division, one copy each of the prenegotiation position memorandum, the contractor's proposal, the Government technical evaluation, and all pricing reports (including any audit reports).
(b) The required information described in paragraph (a) of this section shall be furnished to Headquarters as soon as practicable and sufficiently in advance of the planned commencement of negotiations to allow a reasonable period of time for Headquarters review. Electronic submittal is preferred.
(c) When a procurement action has been selected for a Headquarters led cost/price analysis peer review, the contracting activity shall submit to the Office of Procurement, Contract and Grant Policy Division a copy of the procurement schedule. Based upon this information, the cost/price analysis peer review team lead will contact the contracting officer to establish the peer review team’s review schedule. Cost/price analysis peer reviews assess the cost/price analysis approach with special emphasis given to ensure a complete and thorough analysis is completed and documented.
(a)(i) A PNM is not required for a contract awarded under competitive negotiated procedures. However, the information required by FAR 15.406-3 shall be reflected in the evaluation and selection documentation to the extent applicable.
(ii) When the PNM is a "stand-alone" document, it shall contain the information required by the FAR and NFS for both PPMs and PNMs. However, when a PPM has been prepared under 1815.406-1, the subsequent PNM need only provide any information required by FAR 15.406-3 that was not provided in the PPM, as well as any changes in the status of factors affecting cost elements (e.g., use of different rates, hours, or subcontractors; wage rate determinations; or the current status of the contractor's systems). In these situations, the PPM will accompany the PNM during the review process.
(e)(1) Make-or-buy programs should not include items or work efforts estimated to cost less than $500,000.
(a) The contracting officer shall insert the provision at 1852.215-78, Make-or-Buy Program Requirements, in solicitations requiring make-or-buy programs as provided in FAR 15.407-2(c). This provision shall be used in conjunction with the clause at FAR 52.215-9, Changes or Additions to Make-or-Buy Program. The contracting officer may add additional paragraphs identifying any other information required in order to evaluate the program.
(b) The contracting officer shall insert the clause at 1852.215-79, Price Adjustment for "Make-or-Buy" Changes, in contracts that include FAR 52.215-9 with its Alternate I or II. Insert in the appropriate columns the items that will be subject to a reduction in the contract value.
(c) When the solicitation requires the submission of certified cost or pricing data, the contracting officer shall include 1852.215-85, Proposal Adequacy Checklist, in the solicitation to facilitate submission of a thorough, accurate, and complete proposal.
The reference to notice of award in FAR 15.504 on negotiated acquisitions is a generic one. It relates only to the formal establishment of a contractual document obligating both the Government and the offeror. The notice is effected by the transmittal of a fully approved and executed definitive contract document, such as the award portion of SF 33, SF 26, SF 1449, or SF 1447, or a letter contract when a definitized contract instrument is not available but the urgency of the requirement necessitates immediate performance. In this latter instance, the procedures for approval and issuance of letter contracts shall be followed.
The NASA Procurement Debriefing Guide provides agency-wide guidance for postaward debriefings and is available at the link provided in 1815.505.
(a) When an acquisition is conducted in accordance with the Major System acquisition procedures in Part 1834 and multiple offerors are selected, the debriefing will be limited in such a manner that it does not prematurely disclose innovative concepts, designs, and approaches of the successful offerors that would result in a transfusion of ideas.
(b) When Phase B awards are made for alternative system design concepts, the source selection statements shall not be released to competing offerors or the general public until the release of the source selection statement for Phase C/D without the approval of the Assistant Administrator for Procurement. Requests for approval should be submitted through the Procurement Operations Division.
Renewal proposals, (i.e., those for the extension or augmentation of current contracts) are subject to the same FAR and NFS regulations, including the requirements of the Competition in Contracting Act, as are proposals for new contracts.
(a)(6) Information titled "Guidance for the Preparation and Submission of Unsolicited Proposals" is available on the Internet at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/unSol-Prop.html. A deviation is required for use of any modified or summarized version of the Internet information or for alternate means of general dissemination of unsolicited proposal information.
(a) NASA will not accept for formal evaluation unsolicited proposals initially submitted to another agency or to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) without the offeror's express consent.
(b)(i) NASA Headquarters and each NASA field installation shall designate a point of contact for receiving and coordinating the handling and evaluation of unsolicited proposals.
(ii) Each installation shall establish procedures for handling proposals initially received by other offices within the installation. Misdirected proposals shall be forwarded by the point of contact to the proper installation. Points of contact are also responsible for providing guidance to potential offerors regarding the appropriate NASA officials to contact for general mission-related inquiries or other preproposal discussions.
(iii) Points of contact shall keep records of unsolicited proposals received and shall provide prompt status information to requesters. These records shall include, at a minimum, the number of unsolicited proposals received, funded, and rejected during the fiscal year; the identity of the offerors; and the office to which each was referred. The numbers shall be broken out by source (large business, small business, university, or nonprofit institution).
(b) Give the offeror an opportunity to amend the unsolicited proposal to ensure compliance with the applicable NRA proposal preparation instructions. If these conditions cannot be met, the proposal must be evaluated separately.
Unsolicited proposals shall be evaluated outside the Government only to the extent authorized by, and in accordance with, the procedures prescribed in, 1815.207-70.
Unsolicited proposals from foreign sources are subject to NPD 1360.2, Initiation and Development of International Cooperation in Space and Aeronautics Programs.
NASA's implementation of an ombudsman program is in NPR 5101.33, Procurement Advocacy Programs.
In all synopses announcing competitive acquisitions, the contracting officer shall indicate that the clause at 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. This may be accomplished by referencing the clause number with the associated link.
The contracting officer shall insert a clause substantially the same as the one at 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, in all solicitations (including draft solicitations) and contracts. Use the clause with its Alternate I when a task or delivery order contract is contemplated. | 2019-04-20T14:48:06 | http://farsite.hill.af.mil/reghtml/regs/other/nasa/1815.htm |

Lobster ravioli and service was excellent. Wine choices matched well. Domonic did a great job. Will be back.
Now re-opened/refreshed as “Green’s Up”. From the appetizers (ahi tuna) to the entrees (short rib manicotti and fettuccine special) everything was fresh and wonderful. Great service (Fabio), nice wine selection and perfect for date/couples. Highly recommend.
A wonderful restaurant with authentic northern Italian savors and a great service. The menu is inspired by the seasons and changes regularly.

Spring is well under way. Temps in Atlanta have been all over the place but mainly in the high 70’s. I’ve officially packed up Peyton’s and Harper’s winter clothes in exchange for some fresh new threads from OshKosh B’gosh. One of my first stops for shopping for the girls at the top of the season is to OshKosh. You can count on them to have most stylish and comfortable clothing for kids. I wanted to share a few tips on how I spring clean the girls’ closets and prepare them for new spring and summer fashions.
Happy Friday! This week has been super crazy! I’ve been helping my sister prepare to exhibit her natural hair care line, Flo Naturals at the World Natural Hair Show this week. She may be my big sister but I am so proud of what she’s doing. So if you’re at the hair show, please stop by booth 845 to say hi and pick up some product. Make sure you follow me on Snapchat to catch some behind the scenes from the show this weekend.
In other news, I wanted to share a trend that I kinda made up. The trend is to wear cute flirty dresses over jeans. Ok, I may not have completely made it up but I have friends that can vouch for me that I did this in my early 20s. There are a lot of cute dresses out there but they are just way too short. Instead of looking like an old thot, I just put on jeans or leggings. That’s what I did with this cute little off the shoulder number.
It’s finally starting to feel like spring. When spring arrived so did the cold front that we didn’t even have during the winter. I was even contemplating digging out my Uggs and sweaters again. Now that the weather has been consistently warm, my Ugg boots have gone back in to hibernation. I’ve even packed away the girls sweats suits and boots for cute springtime outfits from H+M.
This week has flown by. Just Sunday I was living the life at the beach. Now I’m back home sweeping up Cheerios 10 times a day. Back to full mommy mode. When I am in full blow mommy mode I’m always wearing comfortable shoes. I wanted to share my new favorite bow sneakers that Mister HATES. I know big bows aren’t for everyone but I think it’s a fun twist on sneakers. | 2019-04-21T06:50:25 | https://thebabyshopaholic.com/tag/spring-fashion/ |

Although I begin my paintings directly on site, my goal is not a naturalistic or realistic representation. I work outside to experience the scale, the colour, the grandeur and the sounds that surround me. It is the experience of prolonged observation in a vast landscape where the eye fluctuates from picking out microcosmic detail from far away to scanning the entire vista in a split second. I attempt to capture a refined, elegant portrayal of the environment.
In the studio, without photographs or other points of reference, I revise the paintings by memory, and the presence and connection I felt to each particular place. It’s rarely about the geography, but more so about letting the paint dictate. To be out in the natural environment is invigorating to the whole vocabulary of paint.

The DePaulia, our weekly student-produced newspaper, has been named a finalist in the Associated Collegiate Press's 2017 Newspaper Pacemaker competition.
The DePaulia was one of 43 newspapers (out of a total nationwide submission of 150) to be named a finalist. According the the ACP, the cited newspapers demonstrate, "...excellence in key areas including coverage, writing, editing, design and photography," but additionally, "the winning newspapers took risks and served as a strong voice for its student audience."
The finalists will be honored and winners of the competition will be announced at the annual ACP/CMA National College Media Convention this October in Dallas, Texas.
Of course we'll be crossing our newsprint-stained fingers for our students' great work. | 2019-04-26T16:38:45 | https://communication.depaul.edu/about/news-and-events/2017/Pages/depaulia-ACP-finalist.aspx |
Morris, 47, who moved to Ohio County in 2000, stated that the contract on the space was up and Arby’s placed a bid to keep ownership of the building, but that it was denied by the state. The Kentucky Department of Transportation was unable to be reached Saturday night for a comment.
The Beaver Dam rest stop, located at 675 Western Kentucky Parkway — about a mile west of the Natcher Parkway Interchange — has serviced thousands of motorists over the years as a popular stop for gasoline, snacks and a restroom break along the 137-mile stretch of parkway.
Many travelers took to social media to express their displeasure over the news. There is no word yet on how the space will be utilized following Sunday’s closure. | 2019-04-20T06:54:43 | https://www.kentucky.com/news/state/kentucky/article125297009.html |
It was a regular night at the improv as the 3 of us drove in my tiny Honda Coup.
I’m going to throw a challenge out there to all the loyal readers of the RKDeem Report. I am amazed that you can get 3 Peanut Chews at WaWa for 25 cents and cannot think of anything else that is that tasty and that cheap, can anyone name something great you can get for a quarter?
I did some more research and there’s a reason why I thought they were comparable, Beaver Creek’s mountain’s base is at 8,100 feet so it is really only 4,040 feet higher than the base. Don’t get me wrong though, the mountains are beautiful and you could easily spend an entire lifetime exploring those mountains and never come close to seeing everything.
I made a quick trip to Dallas, too quick to really pass a judgement on the city. But I did take a mile walk through a “nice” area and it was pretty boring. I have not been impressed with Houston or Dallas, too spread apart and nothing unique. The few Texans I spoke to mentioned that Galveston, TX is an incredible beach town and I need to check it out sometime, said it had all the good things people like about New Orleans without the bad stuff.
Looking forward to the 3 Day weekend for July 4th, can’t wait to see some fireworks.

HOQUIAM, Wash. – Police say a man was carrying a dead weasel when he burst into an apartment and assaulted a man in Washington state.
The attacker was apparently looking for his girlfriend and had gone to her former boyfriend’s apartment Monday where the victim was a guest.
KXRO reports he left the carcass behind.
Police later found the 33-year-old Hoquiam man arguing with his girlfriend at another location and arrested him after a fight.
He said he had found the marten dead near Hoquiam, but police don’t know why he carried it with him.
While I was finishing up my work in Chicago, I received an invitation from Dad to go crabbing with the family on Saturday. I quickly replied that we’d all be down for it, I knew the wife and kids would love the adventure.
On Saturday morning we traveled down to Tuckerton, NJ and hopped on the boat and made a short trip to a marshy area that looked prime for crabbing. Within minutes, I hoisted up the first crab on a handline. The crab was deposited on the floor of the boat and was prepared to snap his claws at anyone who approached him. The kids screamed and the little creature terrified anyone within close proximity of its claws. We threw it into the cooler and caught several others, Jaclyn turned out to be an excellent crabber too, she always surprises me, she can do anything she wants to do.
After catching plenty of crabs, we took a stab at fishing right in the middle of the day. Somehow we managed to catch a stingray and a flounder without too much time and effort. The kids loved getting a close look at the fish. Between crabs and fish, the kids snuck into the boat’s cabin and had books read to them by their Grandmom. Considering the small space on the boat, the kids did amazingly well. We got back to the dock around 2:30PM and then I took Jac, Win, and Dalia to the beach.
The kids were the only people braving the cold water and wouldn’t leave until they were blue and shivering. Afterwards we rode a couple amusement park rides, most notably, their first experience on a roller coaster (a very small roller coaster, but it counts!).
Finally, it was about 6PM and we were ready for a bite to eat. Jac and I were reviewing a menu when we heard Dalia yelling at Winston. We turned around and saw Winston peeing on the main street with cars & pedestrians passing by. We returned the menus, picked up the kids and headed for the car. We drove up a couple of miles, safe from being recognized as “that family” and had a delicious seafood dinner (kids had nuggets).
It was a great weekend and next weekend, Jacalope and I head to Colorado. Can’t wait to enjoy some time alone with her.
When I was pretty little, I remember playing baseball video games and when you’d play the Cubs, the outfield wall had the crazy ivy growing all over it. I used to love playing games on that field because it was unique, the other field that was very different was Fenway Park in Boston with the Big Green Monster. Yesterday, I finally found myself at the stadium in the real world and loved the whole experience. We sat on the left field line, there weren’t bullpens for pitchers when the field was built, so they just sat on folding chairs right in front of us in foul territory. When the pitcher was warming up, you could see he was constantly aware of the batter as he was in prime location to get whacked by a foul ball. The “bullpen” catcher was in an even worse spot, he had his back to the action. The field was built in an actual town, so as it got close to starting time, you see the people walking through the streets, many of them exiting drinking establishments in close proximity to the stadium, and walking to the ballpark. We stopped at a bar called, The Cubby Bear, right across from the stadium. I had the best french fries I’ve ever had (parmesan and garlic) complimented with a Goose Island Beer which is local to Chicago.
Inside the stadium, you walk on old bricks under old bleachers, and it sort of feels like a high school stadium. The scoreboard has a guy inside it that manually changes the numbers, he pokes his head out of a vacant spot for the tenth inning to catch parts of the game. The stadium had few distractions, no mascot, no big screen, no hot dog races, just a ball game, an organ that chimed along, and a seventh inning stretch where the whole building sang “Take Me Out To The Ballgame”. I guess I really wanted to be in a stadium because it had so many memories, a shrine to the game, and it didn’t disappoint. I did probably over inflate the importance of visiting though, not a real life changing experience and I think I could have died without seeing it, but feel very lucky to have gone. The experience doesn’t come close to beating out this weekend with the kids kayaking, hiking, and taking in a parade.
I really enjoyed the Memorial Day Weekend, my little clan managed to go kayaking on Lake Nockamixon, hiking on high rocks, and watched the Frenchtown Memorial Day parade which is the best parade I’ve ever attended. It is a small parade, but really intimate and unique. The parade goes down the main street and ultimately a contingent of soldiers and the band make their way to the bridge. There’s a 21 gun salute on the bridge, followed by taps, then a couple former soldiers in a boat below release a wreath into the river, the moment culminates with an airplane flying right at the bridge, pulling up at the last second clearing the bridge by 10 feet and droppings hundreds of flower pedals into the river. Everyone follows the parade to the cemetery where there’s another 21 gun salute, wreaths laid on graves, taps, and then God Bless America. The only people not crying were Winston and Dalia who were happily sucking on lollipops thrown to them by old soldiers in convertibles.
As we walked through the cemetery, Winston was very interested about the tombstones and what they represented. We explained that this is where we put dead people and the answer seemed to satisfy him. I told him the names on the tombstones help people find where their friends are buried, I asked Winston if he’d visit me when I died and he said “yes”. It always amazes me that the subject of death does not concern a child.
It was a really perfect weekend with the wife and kids, as we drove on back country roads, surrounded by farms, lush green vegetation, and wildflowers, I felt pretty lucky and thankful for everyone’s service.
I’m in the Philly airport, heading to Chicago. I always hear great things about the city, but never had a super great experience there, I’m hoping that changes today as I squeak in a day game at Wrigley Field. This is the first item on my bucket list that I am crossing off, can’t wait to take it in. I’ll be back Friday night after attending an advisory board with physicians. | 2019-04-19T03:22:09 | https://rkdeemreport.com/2011/06/ |

For sure, the diamond is a safe bet yet it can occasionally be considered a bit too ceremonious. What about the ruby, sapphire or emerald… oh, I wouldn’t refuse. In short, I’ve never been able to choose. And don’t tell me you’ve never been in exactly the same situation: oh Pinocchio, come on, you’ve felt exactly the same as me!
Multicolored has never been so with-it before, delights the undecided within me and Fabergé has totally understood that I’m not the only one to feel like this.
Its Emotion ring wears its name wonderfully well because that’s exactly what you feel when you set your eyes on it for the first time.
And just imagine what it does to you when you slip it onto your finger… Ecstasy.
Wear this ring, which is mainly set with blue, yellow, pink and violet sapphires, with daytime jeans + t-shirt + sneakers or a smarter outfit or even with a night-life dress-me-up and you can be sure it will overshadow everything around. You should always find a golden friend to help you stand out and shine, don’t you think?
P.S.: Tip from a friend, wear the Emotion ring with a French manicure or even go for flashy red varnish. But forget all the other colors otherwise you’ll end up like a disco glitter ball. | 2019-04-21T10:19:19 | https://theeyeofjewelry.com/faberge/faberge-jewelry/happiness-is-a-rainbow-of-colors/ |
With the help of Republicans, the House passed a bill to arm the band of terrorist cut-throats that are attempting to overthrow the secular Syrian dictatorship and install a jihadist Islamic theocracy. It’s a fiction that any of these terrorist groups are “moderates.” That is just a fig leaf that is used for our corrupt politicians to do the bidding of Saudi Arabia, their paymaster. It just shows how far the Republicans have been corrupted and are collaborating with Obama. | 2019-04-18T18:34:07 | https://patriot-fire.net/2014/09/17/house-passes-bill-authorizing-obama-to-arm-terrorists/ |

BY DEBRA VEY VODA-HAMILTON, ESQ.
Recently, it seems that whenever a report on the sport of purebred dogs appears in the news it is often negative. A post on the Warwick Watch Facebook page showed a good samaritan reporting and filming the rescue of several fully groomed show dogs which were being taken out of their dog show van by the police. The van, with dogs inside, was left outside a mall in Warwick, Rhode Island. It was a hot day and the windows of the van were closed. The resulting negative post on Warwick Watch can be seen here: https://m.facebook.com/WarwickWatch.
Hot cars are the nemeses of dog show exhibitors as they travel from show to show. The interaction we have with the public during the summer show schedule can get confrontational. We always try to be careful, yet dogs are lost every year.
One recent community interaction, between dog show exhibitors and the pet loving public, lead to a life saving event. In May, the Irish Setter Club of America held it 2017 National Specialty in War- wick, Rhode Island. Red dogs from all over the country descended on the beautiful hamlet of Warwick and the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
Prior to arriving for the week at this accommodating facility, the ISCA Board of Directors started looking into a meaningful way to reach out to the community they were visiting. Devouring local lobster was great but how could this purebred dog group interact positively with the neighborhood pet owner in Warwick?
Board member Mary Goeke suggested donating pet oxygen masks to the fire departments surrounding the site of the National. As the ISCA inquired into the purchase of pet oxygen masks, they discovered after talking to Scott Goeke, a firefighter in Kansas, that to make this donation truly valuable and completely useful on a fire truck the masks and all the necessary equipment to make them work needed to be in a carrying case. Thus, the exploration shifted toward finding a pet oxygen kit.
After discussion, the ISCA board unanimously approved inquir- ing into and then funding the purchase of pet oxygen kits for the 2017 National. A supplier was found and the ISCA approved the purchase of six pet oxygen kits in their own marked bags. In the future, it is the intention of the ISCA to distribute these pet oxygen kits wherever the National is held.
Before Breed judging, the ISCA held a ceremony during which the six life-saving pet oxygen kits were donated to the Warwick Fire Department. These kits contained three masks to accommo- date dogs, cats and birds. The ISCA invited the mayor of Warwick as well as local newspapers and television stations to the event. The ISCA’s intent was to show purebred dog clubs giving back to the community in which they were showing. They hoped to pro- mote purebred dogs and AKC events within which pet owners could participate. The news coverage provided exposure for ISCA to Warwick and made the area aware of this donation and how it would help all beloved animals.

Our bean bags are fantastic because they look great, they’re super comfy for kids and they’re easily moved around to wherever you need them. But that’s not all. Because we know that drinks get spilled, and shoes don’t get taken off, so we’ve given our bean bags new, removable, washable covers. How’s that for thinking ahead?
We’ve given it a practical separate inner bag of beans, and the cover is made out of 100% cotton with a concealed zip and a useful carry handle.
Cover is washable at 30 degrees. Remove the liner containing the beans before cleaning. | 2019-04-19T21:05:06 | https://piccolo-house.com/product/washable-bean-bag-dinosaurnew/ |

>> I may be limping across that finish line, but we're gonna get across that finish line.>> It's time for Donald Trump unbound. In a trademark Tweet storm Tuesday, Trump saying it is so nice that the shackles have been taken off me and I can fight now for America the way that I want to.
Campaign reporter, John Whitesides.>> A lot of people can't really imagine that the shackles have been on too much over the last couple of months. But he has at times tried to be more restrained and he seems to be announcing today that those days of restraint are over.
>> Trump taking the first swing at Paul Ryan. Clearly furious over Ryan's stunner Monday announcing he would no longer defend Trump or campaign for him. Trump calling Ryan a very weak and ineffective leader. And blaming the House Speaker another quote disloyal Republicans for his struggles.>> Obviously this comes after a week of real difficulty for the campaign.
>> And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.>> To the airing of the videotape and abandonment by many establishment Republicans, new poll showing them sinking farther behind Clinton. They obviously have reached some sort of precipice here. The question is whether they can keep moving forward or they're gonna just drop over the edge.
>> Our next president faces daunting challenges.>> The unshackled, Trump approving a new ad out Tuesday, reviving debunked conspiracy theories that his rival is in poor health.>> Well it does seem like with Donald Trump, there is one Donald Trump, as much as some people have tried to shape him into something else, he inevitably goes back to being that Donald Trump.
>> Like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you.>> A very combative candidate and that's what we're seeing.>> We are going to smash the Washington establishment. | 2019-04-19T08:30:38 | https://www.reuters.tv/v/2jM/2016/10/11/shackles-off-trump-comes-after-paul-ryan |

Alarm “These are my ematic values, reveal them”.
Mr Marchetti talks, a professional cyclist “I’m fed up hearing that we are all drugged: these are my blood tests, and i want to repeat them every month” he presented himselp to the Acqua Acetosa Istitute and he accorded for the blood test on Tuesday. Rome An imbarassing phone call “I’m a professional cyclist, we have to see each other”. Ok, what do we have to talk about? “About dopping”.Who are you?” Probably my name and surname won’t say any thing to you however. My name is Maurizio Marchetti I’m from Sezze, Latina. I’ve lived a long carrier of amateur, I’ve made some good victories in 1988 at the Block Hans it was the most fascinating of all. From last year I’m a professional cycler with the San Marco group pf Giupponi, and with the Ideal of Marino Basso”. And this year? I suppose I remain with Basso, I hope.I should “sing the contact in the next days” wath is your problem? “Its that I cant stand hearing that we are all drogged. We have to rebel ourselves”.How? ” I have an idea, I shall explain it to you”.
He gives us an appointment: yesterday morning at the science istitute Acqua Cetosa at Rome. Here we are ready to hear Maurizio Marchetti. Frist of all he gives us all his ematic values from 1986 up to today, pratically since he goes seriusly on bicicle “These are all my blood tests he says, the organistic and non organoistic period. Yous can show them to everyone, they are at you disposition.
In efect, reading them, the balance between emoglobin and emacrotic are minium in the race season and lowest that in the agonistic seasons. “I wanted you’s to come with me to the doctors of the istitute because I intention to do something: I want to voluontary do a blood test. Non quickly. I want to be able to come here every two months once a month, everytime yous want me to come. And everytimeto pubblic my values. We cant go on like this. A hundred percent of the runners are drugged, seventy percent 90 percent, what is all this non sence we are men that sacrifice themselves on the bicycles and then we have to hear people talking bad about us”.
Well this is the problem dear Maurizio, that the classification with the doping is not done the sacrifice or the hard work, but something else “yes but I dont like all this sayng all of them take it and soon. We have to do less talking and do more controlls, without any threshold. I have a certain value like and I can dimostrade that during my season this valuemoves just a little bit so little that its nothing, it goes even down”.
We go in to the istitute the rooms are deserted lost of people are on holiday. Doctor Gallozzi hears the words of Maurizio.In the bigging hes perplexed, then he applauds him for this initiative. The problem is that the laboratory for the blood tests is closed and will open on tuesday. By telephone he gets in contact with the director of the laboratory. Professor Carlo Tranquilli, that is also the doctor of the National under 21 of football: “Tuesday the laboratory will reopen, come when you wan’t”. Maurizio is satisfied and he goes away.
But now the cycler wants to explain his manners “I know that everyone is asking thems eleves ‘what does he wants hes nobody?’ I might not be nobody, but I’m with the other cyclists as well its a life that I go and if they say ‘you’s all are drogged’ I shall ribel.I thing that ther’s a lot of people that wants to ribel, they want to do like me, probably we need the frist one to start.I also do it for this, I havent got enought confidence to ask the others to joun me and to be controlled together. I contacted you’s for this.Yes, I serche publicity I want my proposal to be expeted by other colleague’s wath’s wrong about this? I race because I like it, I love cyting”.
Up to here Maurizio we have to say that he proyed us to go with him to the Acqua Acetosa on the 7 of January and to registrate his blood test values and to pubblies them. Certainly it wold be nice if we had a lot like Maurizio if quite a few could go ahead and propose themsalues but not sufficent for the threshold that Bugno and Fondriest have brought to Losanna to the president of the international cyclist federation hein Verbruggen. It would be a good kick to all the suspects.
For this initiative of Marchetti worried for being Mr nobody, is’nt just the revolt of a loser with a minum of wages, but there’s something else.Because coming from the world, so growded, for someone who never wins (but it isìnt his fault if he is not better than the others). However his case can’t remain isolated “there are quite a few people that thinks it like me includes Marchetti cycling is not what they say”. | 2019-04-20T06:39:21 | https://www.tabudoping.it/?p=102 |

Food crises, commodity price booms and busts, environmental concerns and trade tensions are just some of the focuses of the analysis undertaken in agricultural economics. Agricultural economics concerns itself with the study of the production and consumption of food in both developed and developing countries along with analysis of the policies that shape the world’s largest industry.
Agricultural economics is a branch of applied economics that takes the tools of both micro and macroeconomics and uses them to solve problems in a specific area. With food inflation soaring and agricultural disputes at the heart of the collapse of the latest round of world trade talks, the subject has seldom been so topical.
At the micro level, we need to understand the relevant production functions and the relationship between labour and capital. When is it worthwhile to employ labour-saving, ‘lumpy’ capital? And most courses will also look at the by-products (externalities) of some types of agricultural production, such as the effect of increased nitrogen fertiliser use.
Equally, we can use consumer theory to understand how shoppers make choices about the food they buy (including diets and fads). Many courses will also look at the food sector more generally, and ask whether there is excessive market power in the hands of supermarkets.
At the macro level, the subject studies the way governments decide how to support farmers. In developed economies, policy has tended to be devised so as to support and protect farmers – subsidies for prices and agricultural import tariffs under the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy for example – often with significant effects on trade flows and trading relations. In contrast, developing nations seek ways to ensure adequacy of supply of food for their people and to gain access to world markets to earn export revenue. Both are difficult tasks and both can be informed by the agricultural economist.
The skills of graduates with training in agricultural economics make them especially attractive to agricultural/environmental-based employers, such as government ministries, lobby groups and non-governmental organisations. A good knowledge of agricultural economics can prove particularly helpful to those intending to work in the developing countries. | 2019-04-23T20:50:03 | http://www.studyingeconomics.ac.uk/module-options/agricultural-economics/ |

(via Game Industry) - The UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has found that Square Enix misled customers with adverts for Final Fantasy XIII, which used images from the PlayStation 3 version of the game rather than the Xbox 360.

The team will work with Kaos Studios - the developer working on the console versions - and the publisher is hoping that a specific PC developer will send a strong positive message to gamers on that platform after a string of high profile shooters in the past year that have considered it secondary to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
(via Game Industry) - Microsoft UK boss Neil Thompson has confirmed the 4Gb Xbox 360 will be the "primary SKU" for Kinect at launch, with no plans in place to sell the motion-control device together with a 250Gb system at a discount. The 4GB system, which has replaced the old Arcade model and comes with a dedicated Kinect power port, was ideal "for the type of consumer that will come to that," Thompson told GamesIndustry.

(via Game Industry) - One of the most popular pastimes of any group of games business types gathered together is to speculate and swap rumours about the pending entry of some giant corporation into the industry. A volatile combination of paranoia and anticipation, it's a topic of discussion which assumes that the world's top media and technology firms will eventually notice the explosive growth of gaming and step in to take their slice of the pie, show us all how it's done, or put everyone else out of business - depending on who you listen to. | 2019-04-24T02:50:08 | http://360plex.com/news/site/Game+Industry/ |

Here's a new recipe I made for a school function that is made for a crowd. I would say this sweet, salty, and spicy bean salad could feed 20-30 people, so make sure to use it for your next party. Even though it has a lot of ingredients, it's a pretty simple salad that does not require much work, except maybe some slicing and dicing. While a very light and tangy salad, with all the beans, it should keep you full for a while!
1. Toss corn with 1/2 cup olive oil, paprika, salt, Montreal steak seasoning, and garlic powder. Roast in a 350-degree oven for 15 minutes, until slightly roasted.
2. In a large lexan container or mixing bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. In a small whisking bowl, mix remaining ingredients to make a dressing. When corn cools, mix everything together. Garnish with extra chives and cilantro. | 2019-04-19T14:39:30 | http://www.thecommunityplate.com/2016/01/southwestern-three-bean-salad.html |
This is a New York classic, minus the bagel. All the great flavors that make this such a satisfying breakfast are still here—the richness of smoked salmon, the bite of onion and capers, the sweetness of tomato—but by ditching the oversize bagel in favor of whole wheat toast, you save about 200 calories and trade a ton of refined carbs for a boost of fiber. The end result is a smoked salmon sandwich you can feel good about eating every day of the week, and given that it takes about as much time to make as it does to pour a bowl of cereal, why not? A great classic New York lunchtime meal, and to be extra New Yorkie, have an everything bagel for breakfast, and do it all wearing a Mets hat just to round things out!
Spread 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese on each of four slices of toast.
Top each with capers, onion, greens, and a slice or two of tomato.
Lightly salt the tomato, then add as much pepper as you’d like (this sandwich cries out for a lot of it).
Finish by draping a few slices of smoked salmon over the tomatoes and topping with the remaining slices of toasted bread.
Looking for a money-saving strategy? As much as we love smoked salmon—not just for its full-throttle flavor and silky texture, but also for its concentration of omega-3 fatty acids—it’s not cheap. Granted, it takes only a few slices to make an excellent sandwich, but if you want a more affordable way to make this a part of your breakfast repertoire, try subbing in smoked turkey, ham, or even canned tuna. The nutritional info won’t change much and it will still be twice as satisfying as any breakfast sandwich you can score from a drive-thru window.
This dish is simply flavor overload. | 2019-04-23T22:18:05 | https://www.eatthis.com/smoked-salmon-sandwich-recipe/ |
