Talent management systems are one of the key resources of today’s effective human resource team. Within these systems lies the ability to better manage prospective employees as well as new hires. We take a look at five of the most popular talent management systems for 2016.
ClearCompany HRM is a very popular talent management system right now. Brought to us by the Boston-based ClearCompany, ClearCompany HRM is noted for its clean and effective design. Within the easy-to-use environment, multiple tools enable the user to track all phases of the candidate process. From resumes, applications, interviews, and more, ClearCompany HRM perfectly organizes and simplifies what would otherwise be a mountain of disorganized candidacy information. Post-hire tracking tools are also made available within the software.
Halogen Software’s Halogen TalentSpace is also quite popular for many good reasons. It is more of an all-in-one HR tool rather than merely an instrument for hiring. For hiring needs however, it is a complete management tool with all the necessities of candidate tracking and analysis built into one. For current workforce management, it is a highly intuitive management option. With the ability to track strengths and weaknesses in the overall workforce, manage salary and employee information, and more, users’ needs are well met by Halogen TalentSpace.
As discussed by the writers of the respected Harvard Business Review at https://hbr.org/2009/05/the-definitive-guide-to-recruiting-in-good-times-and-bad , the world of hiring can be laden with pitfalls. An all-inclusive solution to this world of hurdles is Recruitee. Recruitee is one of the more widely used talent management systems that is solely focused on the hiring process. With this program, users are truly able to manage and analyze even the most finite points of the hiring process and the candidates it involves. As an extra benefit, the program offers an 18-day free trial as well as superior support and customer service for its users.
Another of 2016’s most popular talent management systems comes to us from Pilat HR Solutions. Pilat HR is the company’s very well-done contribution to the market. Users of Pilat HR report great ease-of-use as well as a very thorough platform of tools and analysis options. Among many others, the ability to customize workforce needs and subsequently deploy intuitive and effective countermeasures is one of its most beloved perks. It is also important to note that this is a cloud-based option in talent management which also tends to make it a preference to many.
Brought to us by the talented design team at Recruiterbox, their self-titled software in talent management is also a real crowd favorite for 2016. Users are not only able to track every step of the process, but also allow multiple HR representatives to contribute to the process. A unique rating system is also used in order to better assess all in the candidacy pool. In addition, it has also won its place in the market because of its fast implementation times and its offerings in log-in free, multi-person contribution systems.
HR teams play a critical role in the futures of thousands of companies every day. Today’s management systems play a big part in this crucial process of selecting and keeping the right workforce. In conclusion, it is fair to say that these five talent management systems have garnered the lead in popularity for 2016, and the reasons for this are clear. | 2019-04-25T02:59:50 | https://www.humanresourcesmba.net/faq/5-popular-talent-management-systems-in-2016/ |

40:1 is found on the album World War Live: Battle of the Baltic Sea [Live].
General CommentThe actual, official ratio for the battle in question, was closer to 66:1, not 40:1.
No warning they entered that land". We think now about WW2 and how it was a huge deal that everyone knew about it... except, at the very start, the first few attacks, either no one knew, or thought it was "someone else's problem".
Despite it being such a one sided battle though, they really did give it their all though. Was this true bravery, or simple desperation in the knowledge that it would essentially mean their extermination and all that they knew and cherished would be gone? One could argue, they are one and the same anyways.
Point still stands though, a small group fought against odds which would have made many people flee in terror or just give up, and while it was a foregone conclusion they weren't going to win... they did make a much larger dent in the enemy forces than they had any right to with being that badly outnumbered.
This plays out in history, from time to time, such as the battle which the movie and comic "300" is based on, or the war of 1812, among other examples.
Sometimes, it's worth standing in the face of the impossible tide and taking it anyway. Sometimes, you even win.
Unfortunately for the Polish, in this case, they didn't.
It's still a fitting tribute to those who gave up their lives for whot they believed in and cherished.
General CommentSong is About the Battle Of Wizna.
As you can see in manpower alone its 40-1 but Germans also had tanks and had almost as many Heavey Firepower weapons as the Polish had men.
General CommentNot to mention that Polish troops fought under British (and later Soviet) flags to defeat the nazi's after their country fell.
Song MeaningSpecifically it's about the Battle of Wizna. About 700 from the Polish Army vs about 40,000 Germans... hence the 40:1 ratio.
The Polish forces were defeated, but not before halting the German advance. The Poles fought to nearly the last man. About 80 survivors, 40 captured, 40 withdrawing.
General CommentAbout the Invasion of Poland at the very beginning of WW2. Although Poland was conquered within a few weeks, it caused the German army far greater losses than they had expected.
General CommentPoland, who had witheld against both German and Soviet forces. Who were at the time allies due to the Nazi-Soviet pact. No-one could come to Poland's aid; she was cut off.
That is protected by Polish hand!
Great song, i love it. Full of patriotism. Thank you to our Polish brothers from England!
We do not have any tags for 40:1 lyrics. Why not add your own? | 2019-04-20T21:13:44 | https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858731072/ |
Do you know what they say that “the tools don’t make the artist”? I wholeheartedly agree but… For some reason, they never seem to tell you that the wrong tools can break the artist too. So, whether you’re looking to buy your very first graphics tablet or you’re thinking about upgrading yours, I’ll help you find the right Wacom tablet for you!
I can’t believe, it’s been 10 years since I received my very first graphics tablet as a birthday present. I actually think I cried.
Imagine a child on Christmas morning… Then combine that with his birthday, his graduation day, his wedding day, and all of the days he’ll ever receive presents in one! And then there’s me the day I received my very first drawing tablet!
Because, you see… This wasn’t just a drawing tablet.
It was my friends & family’s way of acknowledging that I was an artist.
That they believed in me and wanted me to keep pursuing this growing passion of mine.
Bliss just doesn’t do what I felt any justice. I locked myself in my room, ready to put that drawing tablet to the test and improve my skills dramatically overnight.
But… What I found wasn’t as exciting as I thought.
It was pretty disappointing, actually.
My brand new graphics tablet couldn’t, for some reason, draw straight lines. All it could do were wobbly ones.
But, hey! An average tablet is better than no tablet, right?
I spent two years using that graphics tablet only to colour my pieces. I had to do the drawing with a pencil, scan it and then do the lineart digitally using SAI’s pen tool. It was an unnecessary waste of time that wasn’t contributing to improving my art or my skills at all.
Eventually, I simply decided to start painting in semi-realism so that I wouldn’t need to draw lines at all. Two years later, I hadn’t improved that much in either Manga or Semi-realism style.
Can you imagine wasting two years not being able to improve much because your graphics tablet is dragging you down? The one tool that is meant to make your life as an artist easier… Making it twice as hard instead?
That brings us to why this post exists. I want to help you find the best Wacom tablet for you based on your current and future needs! So that you don’t feel like you’ve wasted your money and your time on a tablet that doesn’t live up to your needs.
Don’t let the wrong tool thwart your progress!
In this post I’ll only cover Wacom tablets. I’m sure by now you can guess that my first tablet wasn’t a Wacom tablet.
It was a “Trust” tablet. And not only was it unable to make straight lines, among other flaws, it was also such poor quality that it didn’t even last for two years before breaking down.
After that fiasco, I saved up to buy a $350 Wacom Intuos 4 tablet. And boy has it lived up to my expectations!
Wacom is a very professional and reliable brand. Their graphics tablets are of incredible quality and are industry standard in the animation, gaming and film industries.
There are many other options out there, cheaper ones, but I personally trust Wacom the most and I can vouch for the good quality and durability of their drawing tablets.
Without further ado, let’s go over the different Wacom tablet models that are now in the market and see which one is the right for you!
The Wacom Intuos models are entry-level tablets. They are usually smaller than other models, lightweight and extremely portable.
These drawing tablets aren’t as powerful as others but they are the most affordable. This makes them the best option for budding artists who want to start doing digital art without spending too much on a tablet, for now.
They range from $79 to $250 depending on the model and the size.
This model is the current version of my good ol’ Wacom Intuos 4 tablet. The Wacom Intuos Pro is larger and more powerful than the Intuos model.
It comes with express keys to the side of the tablet that you can personalize with the shortcuts you use frequently (ie. copy, paste, transform, undo, redo, etc.).
It also has a touch ring that lets you zoom in and out, scroll through the layers, etc.
The pen is also sturdier than the Intuos’ and comes with a set of replacement nibs on a case that also serves as a pen holder.
Wacom Intuos Pro tablets are very reliable. The one I have – even though it’s an older model from 8 years ago – still works like the first day and hasn’t failed me once.
It’s very easy to use and doesn’t require tedious installations of any kind. Just like the Intuos, you draw on it while looking at your computer’s screen.
Wacom’s official website has a set of drivers available for download if your tablet needs them. I usually download and install them when I connect my tablet to a new computer.
These models range from $400-$550 depending on the size you choose, so they aren’t as affordable as the Intuos models for beginner artists. But they have a good return on investment if you’re serious about art and plan on turning art into your career.
Look at my precious tablet… Isn’t it pretty? My tablet would be a ninth grader if it were a real person :’D And it hasn’t failed me once in all these years!
The Wacom Cintiq tablets are high-definition pen displays designed for creative professionals.
Unlike the previous models, the Wacom Cintiq is a drawing tablet with a screen. You draw directly on the display, so the feel and experience is the closest to that of drawing on paper.
These graphic tablets are widely used by professional artists in the gaming, animation and film industries. They are powerful, reliable and built with creatives’ needs in mind.
There are different models and sizes. Most of them are too big to be portable and you’ll need to have enough room in your workspace to fit them (especially the Cintiq 27HQ).
Although the Cintiq models have a screen of their own, they are not “pen computers”. They need to be plugged in to your computer to work, and will use your computer’s resources to work. So, if you have an average computer, it won’t run as smoothly as it would if you had a powerful one.
These are in the higher price range, with the smallest model starting at $800 and the largest at $2,800.
The Mobile Studio Pro tablets are Wacom’s newest portable pen computers. The successors of Wacom’s “Companion” series of portable pen computers.
The most important feature is that these aren’t just pen displays, they’re pen computers. They are drawing tablets with a screen that are also computers!
Therefore, they don’t need to be connected to your computer to be able to work with them. Although you most definitely can use them while plugged in to your computer, but you’ll need a special adapter.
When they are not plugged to a computer, they run Windows OS. However, when they are plugged to your computer, they can run either Windows or iOS depending on your computer.
The Mobile Studio Pro drawing tablets come in two sizes, 13” and 16” and each of them has different specifications available so that you can choose the one that fits your needs better.
You can choose between the models depending on the processor, SSD space and RAM that you want. For instance, the 16” Wacom Mobile Studio Pro with the highest specifications comes with an i7 processor, 512GB SSD and 16GB of RAM.
And, as you’re probably thinking… The Mobile Studio Pro pen computers aren’t cheap. They range from $1,500 to $2,900.
They’ve vastly improved the quality compared to the Cintiq Companion models, and one can only hope they continue to do so!
Notes: The battery for these graphics tablets ranges from 3 to 6 hours depending on usage. Keep that in mind if you need something that lasts longer.
Many of the accessories aren’t included with the tablet (a stand, the Wacom link, a USB-c adapter, etc.). In fact, some aren’t even on the market yet (the official Wacom stand, namely). I will update this section when I have more info.
That sums it up! A brief overview of all the Wacom tablets on the market to help you choose the right one for you based on your current skill level, your preferences and your budget!
Do you have a tablet? Do you think it’s the right one for you or are you considering upgrading to a better one? If you don’t have a tablet, which one do you think would fit your needs better?
previous article: How to get rid of Art Block so that you can have fun drawing again!
Definitely liked the article. So is wacom better than an ipad?
Hey, Nick! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me! I see your concerns but I can assure you that drawing on the tablet while looking at your computer screen is not hard or awkward and you will get used to it very fast.
Don’t hesitate to reply if you have more questions! | 2019-04-22T20:40:49 | https://paintingdreamscapes.com/wacom-tablet-guide/?utm_campaign=makemoneypost |

And that outfit of hers was AMAZING. At one point, she did have a little INCIDENT with it . . .

This 5-Day/4-Night tour allows you to experience many of the popular attractions in the Torres del Paine National Park.
The trip is ideal for travelers who enjoy trekking into the wilderness. You'll spend overnights in cozy domes at EcoCamp and in mountain refugios. The domes at EcoCamp have comfortable beds, measure 108 sqft, are energy efficient, and have beautiful local decor.
Group Departures: This trek departs every Sunday from October to mid-April.
Private Departures: This trek departs every day from October to mid-April for groups of 2 or more.
The trip starts in Punta Arenas city during the morning either at your hotel or at the airport arrive before 12:30pm). From Punta Arenas we drive to the Torres del Paine National Park. During summer the sun sets around 11 pm, so as you drive in you'll have plenty of light to admire the Patagonian steppe with its guanaco and snow-peaked mountain horizon. On the way to the park we'll stop in Puerto Natales on the shores of Seno Ultima Esperanza - "Last Hope Sound". Here you'll enjoy a hearty lunch with delicious local food. We'll also visit the Cueva de Milodon, a massive prehistoric cave where the remains of a giant ground sloth were discovered in the 1890s. The surrounding area is very scenic with plenty of wild birds.
After breakfast, we start our day driving towards Pudeto dock, located by the shores of Pehoe Lake. Once there we board the catamaran that will take us to the northern west sector of the Lake from where we will start the challenging trek to Valle Frances (French Valley), taking a steep trail that goes into the very heart of the Paine Massif. We can enjoy our first truly wonderful view and then continue up the trail until reaching the upper prospects of the valley. The entire group of geological formations of the high valley can be admired here: Hoja (Blade), Mascara (Mask), Espada (Sword), Catedral (Cathedral), Aleta de Tiburon (Shark's Fin) and the magnificent Fortaleza! (Fortress). Next, we descend through an undulating terrain of mixed grassland and light forest until reaching the Refugio Paine Grande, located in the peaceful shores of Lake Pehoe.
Today we'll hike from Paine Grande Lodge along the shores of mountain-lined Lake Pehoe to the northern end of glacial Lake Grey. We'll enjoy a picnic lunch before boarding the boat that sails to the blue face of Glacier Grey. You'll have lots of time to marvel at this calving glacier before the boat ride across Lake Grey with its floating pieces of ice. rom Lake Grey?s southern end we transfer to the EcoCamp. If the weather conditions do not allow us to navigate Lake Grey, we?ll instead hike to Glacier Grey. Then at Pudeto we'll board the catamaran to cross Lake Pehoe.
Our goal is to complete the most famous trekking trail in Torres del Paine NP. We walk from the camp site towards Hosteria Las Torres and connect with the winding uphill path to Ascencio Valley -- the valley which supports the eastern face of the Towers' base. It's not a difficult walk, but energy should nevertheless be saved for the final challenge: the moraine. This mass of boulders is the last guardian before our face to face meeting with the uplifting Torres del Paine. After a considerable effort, the Towers come into full view, rising majestically before us with the glacial lake visible below. This is one of the most breathtaking sights of the world! The famous Torres del Paine (2, 900 m/ 9, 400 ft) consist of three gigantic granite monoliths, the remains of a great cirque sheared away by the forces of glacial ice. We then hike back to the EcoCamp.
We board an early morning vehicle, sit back, relax, and enjoy a scenic ride back to Punta Arenas on time to catch the evening flight to Santiago (after 16:00pm). | 2019-04-22T12:52:39 | https://adventureswithinreach.com/destination/trip/?trip=5-Day%20Patagonia%3A%20Torres%20del%20Paine%20W%20Trek%20with%20EcoCamp |

I’m Leigh Kelsey. Back in August 2005, when explaining to an internet friend how to pronounce my first name, I said “it rhymes with twee”. At that time, I was searching for a name for my budding business and as soon as I had typed those words, Rhymes with Twee found its name!
I use my trusty Riso Print Gocco to screen print my original designs onto home and paper goods including greeting cards and tea towels. The ranks of my Veggie Vampire and Fanged Fruit tea towel lines grow yearly.
I also print a line of tea towels called Chari-Twee, where half the sales price for each towel goes to charity. So far, I have donated over $1,000 to charities. Track the progress here.
My paper goods line includes punny greeting cards, and postcards and labels featuring my photographic pet hedgehogs.
On Instagram, I post a daily make that started with 100 Days of Making and has kept going and going. Follow my journey there!
At Rhymes with Twee, absurdity is embraced. My playful products are beloved by fellow weirdos of all ages.

Independent filmmaker Nate Hapke, a former Wilton resident who now lives in Los Angeles, has always remembered how stressful his move-in day to college was for him. Yet, he only later realized how stressful the big event also was for his mother.
“By portraying my mother’s struggle with this, I want to thank her for everything she has been through,” he said in a recent interview.
One More is just one more — no pun intended — film the 27-year-old has created. Despite his young age, he’s quickly making a name for himself in the film industry. His previous seven short films have screened at more than 20 film festivals worldwide and have garnered 11 awards and honors.
Hapke’s most recent film, “Brunch,” was recently screened at the Short Film Corner of Cannes in France. Brunch, which will be made available online by next spring, is an updated take on the importance of not judging a book by its cover.
Hapke is production coordinator and DGA production associate for Disney/ABC’s General Hospital. “I am on the directing team. I assist the directors by assembling scripts, timing shows and communicating notes for the next day’s production,” he said.
Nate Hapke, who’s on the directing team for ABC’s General Hospital, received an Emmy for his work at the Daytime Emmy Awards in the spring.
Hapke, a 2014 graduate of Syracuse University, won an Emmy for his work on General Hospital, which was named the Outstanding Drama Series winner at the 44th annual Daytime Emmy Awards held April 30 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. Two of General Hospital’s young cast members, Lexi Ainsworth and Bryan Craig, won Emmys as well.
“It was an absolute honor to be part of a team. For me personally, it was really the culmination of three years of hard work,” he said.
Hapke’s next film is entitled “Slate.” “Slate is dressed in the circumstance of an actress who is auditioning for a big role and it’s ambiguous at the end whether or not she gets the role. However, we know she will be all right because there is a level of self-love and self-respect that will get her through it,” Hapke said.
In order to film Slate, Hapke headed up a successful Kickstarter drive. “Our goal was $10,000. We got up to $10,636. I have to thank 81 amazing people who pledged their monetary support and the hundreds of people who shared the campaign that felt passionately enough about it to share the link,” he said.
Hapke’s film One More will be made available in the summer of 2018. “This is the film I am the proudest of thus far,” he said. “I took a lot of steps forward as a director with it — both visually and story-wise,” he said.
On visit to secure locations for his film One More, writer-director Nate Hapke, third from left, with locations coordinator Adrian Tadle, production sound mixer Brandon Walz and director of photography Jeff Vanderpool.
One More tells of the experience of move-in day to college from two perspectives: the single mother and her only child.
While making his films, Hapke has had the opportunity to work alongside many well-established actors. One of them was Richard Herd, who is best known for starring in the 1983 NBC miniseries V. Herd has also appeared on such TV series as Star Trek: Voyager and Quantum Leap.
Herd said Hapke made a lasting impression on him. “I’ve done 57 films and many series and I worked with a lot of actors and crew members. Nate is a natural brilliant and charming young man,” said Herd, 63, who lives in Sherman Oaks, Calif.
Herd predicts Hapke will have a very important career in the motion picture industry.
“In a way, Nate has the beginnings of [actor and comedian] Jordan Peele from the comedy series Key & Peele, Herd said.
At school, Hapke was often entertaining his classmates. “I’m sure the kids I went to school with remember me as trying to make them laugh. There’s a fantastic drama program through Wilton High School that I attended. It was nice to have that arts community,” he said.
Aside from his school life, Hapke said his family played a large part in shaping who is today. “I had the unique opportunity to grow up next to my mom’s parents.
“I think that experience of being able to get to know them and lose them has really shaped me as a human being and as a storyteller. A lot of my films deal with how loss shapes us as human beings,” he said.
Hapke said that unlike many others in his industry, he doesn’t get caught up in trying to emulate other directors — he just wants to be the best person he can be. “When I moved out here, I wasn’t motivated to be the next Steven Spielberg. I was motivated to be the first Nate Hapke and let that be okay. | 2019-04-23T10:34:44 | https://www.milfordmirror.com/76574/putting-personal-mark-on-movies-motivates-young-filmmaker-nate-hapke/ |

The portfolio was up 13.66% in Q1, aided by the market rebound from the December 24 lows.
A few positions were trimmed, resulting in an increased cash position from 0.96% to 3.28%.
I closed my Exxon position and opened a position in Occidental Petroleum.
The portfolio yield at the end of Q1 was 4.52%.
The purpose of this 30-stock portfolio is to provide supplemental retirement income. The portfolio rose along with the broader market, gaining 13.66% in the first quarter. In Q1, I began taking monthly disbursements from the portfolio.
During the December market decline, I lowered the cash position to less than 1% to take advantage of some unusual bargains. By the end of Q1, the cash position rose to 3.28%. The current portfolio yield is 4.52%.
For the past several months, I've considered replacing Exxon (XOM) with Occidental (OXY). I've looked at OXY from time to time, but this is my first purchase. For the past year I've followed Kirk Spano, and for the past few weeks I have done some writing for his Margin of Safety Investing. Much of Kirk's market analysis has been with oil-related companies. Kirk believes we are in the beginning stages of the "end of the oil age," and he sees oil stocks primarily as trading vehicles. You can read his thesis in a (non-paywalled) March 1, 2019, article, "The Dirty Dozen Oil Stocks for 2019."
"Occidental Petroleum is among the top producers in the Permian and in America. They pay a strong dividend and are buying back shares while reducing debt for a very solid shareholder yield. I see Occidental as a better dividend play than Exxon or Chevron as the company has better growth prospects and does not have the legacy issues or potential for stranded assets of the majors. Occidental's carbon capture business is a potential very big deal and" underpriced catalyst. See recent Occidental Petroleum presentations."
Exxon's credit is rated AA+ by Standard & Poor's, and for that reason alone, I was slow to sell XOM. Occidental's S&P credit rating is A. Exxon has raised the dividend for 36 consecutive years, and Occidental has raised the dividend for 15 consecutive years. Simply Safe Dividends gives XOM a "very safe" dividend safety score of 85 (out of 100), and OXY has a "safe" dividend safety score of 61. I think both dividends are relatively safe. Exxon's current yield is 4.06%, and Occidental's current yield is 4.61%.
I'll provide a more detailed study of OXY in another article. I'm impressed with the company's "low carbon emissions" environmental profile and its commitment to growing the dividend. For a good introduction to OXY, see its investor presentation PDF from the March 25, 2019, Scotia Howard Weil Energy Conference.
Occidental appears to be more proactive than Exxon about environmental concerns, but Exxon has the financial strength to re-shape itself over time by moving more into renewable, sustainable energy. Due to their deep pockets, it also seems likely that Exxon and Chevron (CVX) will continue to be targets for lawsuits from environmental groups and/or judicatories.

Norway may provide a window into the future politics of oil. Oil revenue is crucial for Norway, while their European neighbors are moving away from fossil fuels. Norway's Government Pension Fund was originally known as the Oil Fund. One place to begin is a November 22, 2017, article by Tom Sanzillo article in the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, "Norway Shows What to Do With Fading Oil and Gas Holdings."
While weighing the pros and cons of this trade, I decided to check with Pavel Molchanov, the Raymond James energy analyst. Molchanov rates XOM an "Underperform" while rating OXY a "Strong Buy."
So, I sold XOM at $80.64 and bought OXY at $66.09. My cost basis for the Exxon shares was $79.92.
The portfolio's 35 individual equities are listed in the table below. S&P is the Standard & Poor's credit rating, where available. CCC is the number of consecutive years of dividend/distribution increases, as maintained by Justin Law and the DRiP Investing Resource Center. %Port is each holding's percentage of the portfolio's market value as of 3/29/19. Price is the 3/29/19 closing price. Div is the annual dividend per share (or distribution per unit). Yld is the dividend yield per share as of the close on 3/29/19. 4-Yr is the 4-year average yield for each holding, where available, from SA's Dividend tab in the Portfolio feature. DGR is the 5-year dividend growth rate. TDR is the total dividend return (Yld+DGR), aka the Chowder Rule Number. %Inc is the percentage of the portfolio's income contributed by each holding. SSD is the Dividend Safety number assigned to each holding (where available) by Simply Safe Dividends. Target is my target price for adding more shares.
The cash position on 3/29/19 was 3.28%, which provides 0.73% of the portfolio's income.
From a trading perspective, Q1 was relatively quiet. The big event was replacing Exxon with Occidental. The purchase of additional shares of JNJ, PEP and PFE continue my plan to make occasional additions to the higher-quality stocks. The trims were done to take advantage of some strong price appreciation after the December lows and to begin to build some cash for future dips. I use Custom Stock Alerts to notify me when a stock's price nears the target buy price.
I'm not advocating the purchase or sale of any security. These quarterly updates form a journal of my effort to design and maintain a retirement income portfolio with a relatively safe stream of growing dividends. I seek companies with histories of rising dividends, strong financials and solid future prospects. Your goals and risk tolerance may differ, so please do your own due diligence.

Online Journals are scholarly and peer reviewed journals. The journals provide forum and motivates scientists, researchers, academics, engineers, and practitioners in all aspects to share their professional and academic knowledge in the fields computing, engineering, humanities, economics, social sciences, management, medical science, and related disciplines. Online Journals also aims to reach a large number of readers worldwide with original and current research work completed on the vital issues of the above important disciplines. The journals permit all readers to read, view, download and print the full-text of all published articles without any subscription or restrictions. The metabolism of glucose is the vital process of a living body. In glucose metabolism, glucose plays the most important role in providing the human body the energy required for various other works and for survival as well. Once consumed, glucose is absorbed by the intestines leading to the flow into the blood. Extra glucose that is stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen is hydrolyzed to glucose and released into the blood when needed. Glycogen is mobilized and converted to glucose by gluconeogenesis when the blood glucose concentration is low. Glucose may also be produced from non-carbohydrate precursors, such as pyruvate, amino acids and glycerol, by gluconeogenesis. It is gluconeogenesis that maintains blood glucose concentrations, for example during starvation and intense exercise. | 2019-04-24T04:39:40 | https://www.omicsonline.org/glucose-metabolism-online-journals.php |

Not use jargon or "psychobabble"
Remember you are not the problem, the problem is the problem! If you are ready to make a change then Sharon Dyke Hypnotherapy can help.
I saw this article in the New Scientist Magazine issue 2681, 8 November 2008, pp30-33 and was fascinated by it, so thought id share it with my readers.
Weird and wonderful things start to happen when you put your brain in neutral, finds Douglas Fox IN 1953 a physician named Louis Sokolofflaid a 20-year-old college student onto a gurney, attached electrodes to his scalp and inserted a syringe into his jugular vein. For 60 minutes the volunteer lay there and solved arithmetic problems.
All the while, Sokoloff monitored his brainwaves and checked the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in his blood.
Sokoloff, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, was trying to find out how much energy the brain consumes during vigorous thought. He expected his volunteer's brain to guzzle more oxygen as it crunched the problems, but what he saw surprised him: his subject's brain consumed no more oxygen while doing arithmetic than it did while he was resting with his eyes closed. People have long envisaged the brain as being like a computer on standby, lying dormant until called upon to do a task, such as solving a Sudoku, reading a newspaper, or looking for a face in a crowd.
Sokoloff's experiment provided the first glimpse of a different truth: that the brain enjoys a rich private life.
This amazing organ, which accounts for only 2 per cent of our body mass but devours 20 per cent of the calories we eat; fritters away much of that energy doing, as far as we can tell, absolutely nothing.
“There is a huge amount of activity in the [resting] brain that has been largely unaccounted for,” says Marcus Raichle, a neuroscientist at Washington University in St Louis.
Raichle and a handful of others are finally tackling this fundamental question – what exactly is the idling brain up to, anyway? Their work has led to the discovery of a major system within the brain, an organ within an organ, that hid for decades right before our eyes. Some call it the neural dynamo of daydreaming.
Others assign it a more mysterious role, possibly selecting memories and knitting them seamlessly into a personal narrative. Whatever it does, it fires up whenever the brain is otherwise unoccupied and burns white hot, guzzling more oxygen, gram for gram, than your beating heart.
“It's a very important thing,” says Giulio Tononi, a neuroscientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The discovery was slow in coming. Sokoloff's experiment 55 years ago drew little attention. It wasn't until the 1980s that it started to dawn on researchers that the brain may be doing important things while apparently stuck in neutral Eavesdropping on the mind In those days a novel brain scanning technique called PET was all the rage. By injecting radioactive glucose and measuring where it accumulated, researchers were able to eavesdrop on the brain's inner workings. In a typical experiment they would scan a volunteer lying down with their eyes closed and again while doing a mentally demanding task, then subtract one scan from the other to find the brain areas that lit up.
Raichle was using PET to find brain areas associated with words when he noticed something odd: some brain areas seemed to go at full tilt during rest, but quietened down as soon as the person started an exercise.
Most people shrugged off these oddities as random noise. But in 1997 Raichle's colleague Gordon Shulman found otherwise.
Shulman sifted through a stack of brain scans from 134 people.
Raichle and Shulrnan published a paper in 2001 suggesting that they had stumbled onto a previously unrecognised “default mode” – a sort of internal game of solitaire which the brain turns to when unoccupied and sets aside when called on to do something else. This brain activity occurred largely in a cluster of regions arching through the midline of the brain, from front to back, which Raichle and Shulman dubbed the default network (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, vol 98, p 676).
The brain areas in the network were known and previously studied by researchers. What they hadn't known before was that they chattered nonstop to one another when the person was unoccupied but quietened down as soon as a task requiring focused attention came along. Measurements of metabolic activity showed that some parts of this network devoured 30 per cent more calories, gram for gram, than nearly any other area of the brain.
All of this poses the question – what exactly is the brain up to when we are not doing anything? When Raichle and Shulman outlined the default network, they saw clues to its purpose based on what was already known about the brain areas concerned.
One of the core components is the medial prefrontal cortex (see diagram), which is known to evaluate things from a highly self-centred perspective of whether they're likely to be good, bad, or indifferent. Parts of this region also light up when people are asked to study lists of adjectives and choose ones that apply to themselves but not to, say, Britney Spears. People who suffer damage to their medial prefrontal cortex become listless and uncommunicative. One woman who recovered from a stroke in that area recalled inhabiting an empty mind, devoid of the wandering, stream-ofconsciousness thoughts that most of us take for granted.
Parts of the default network also have strong connections to the hippocampus, which records and recalls autobiographical memories such as yesterday's breakfast or your first day of kindergarten.
To Raichle and his colleague Debra Gusnard, this all pointed to one thing: daydreaming. Through the hippocampus, the default network could tap into memories – the raw material of daydreams. The medial prefrontal cortex could then evaluate those memories from an introspective viewpoint. Raichle and Gusnard speculated that the default network might provide the brain with an “inner rehearsal” for considering future actions and choices. Randy Buckner, a former colleague of Raichle's now at Harvard, agrees. To him the evidence paints a picture of a brain system involved in the quintessential acts of daydreaming: mulling over past experiences and speculating about the future (New Scientist, 24 March 2007, p 36).
There is now direct evidence to support this idea. Last year, Malia Mason of Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, reported that the activity of the default network correlates with daydreaming. Using the brain imaging technique fMRI, Mason found that people reported daydreaming when their default network was active, but not when it dimmed down. Volunteers with more active default networks reported more wandering thoughts overall (Science, vol 315, p 393).
Daydreaming may sound like a mental luxury, but its purpose is deadly serious: Buckner and his Harvard colleague Daniel Gilbert see it as the ultimate tool for incorporating lessons learned in the past into our plans for the future. So important is this exercise, it seems, that the brain engages in it whenever possible, breaking off only when it has to divert its limited supply of blood, oxygen and glucose to a more urgent task.
But people are starting to suspect that the default network does more than just daydream. It started in 2003 when Michael Greicius of Stanford University in California studied the default network in a new way. He got his subjects to lie quietly in an fMRI scanner and simply watched their brains in action. This led him to find what are called resting state fluctuations in the default network – slow waves of neural activity that ripple through in a coordinated fashion, linking its constellation of brain areas into a coherent unit. The waves lasted 10 to 20 seconds from crest to crest, up to 100 times slower than typical EEG brain waves recorded by electrodes on the scalp.
Until then scientists had studied the default network in the oldfashioned way, subtracting resting scans from task scans to measure changes in brain activity. But Greicius's work showed that you could eavesdrop on the network by simply scanning people as they lay around doing nothing. This allowed scientists to study the network in people who weren't even conscious, revealing something unexpected.
Raichle reported last year that the network's resting waves continued in heavily anaesthetised monkeys as though they were awake (Nature, vol 447, p83). More recently, Greicius reported a similar phenomenon in sedated humans, and other researchers have found the default network active and “Daydreaming may sound like a mental luxury but its purpose is deadly serious” synchronised in early sleep (Human Brain Mapping, vol 29, p 839 and p 671).
Given that the default network is active in early sleep it's tempting to link it with real dreaming, but Raichle suspects its nocturnal activity has another purpose – sorting and preserving memories. Each day we soak up a mountain of short-term memories but only a few are actually worth adding to the personal narrative that guides our lives.
Raichle now believes that the default network is involved, selectively storing and updating memories based on their importance from a personal perspective – whether they're good, threatening, emotionally painful, and so on. To prevent a backlog of unstored memories building up, the network returns to its duties whenever it can.
In support of this idea, Raichle points out that the default network constantly chatters with the hippocampus. It also devours huge amounts of glucose, way out of proportion to the amount of oxygen it uses. Raichle believes that rather than burning this extra glucose for energy it uses it as a raw material for making the amino acids and neurotransmitters it needs to build and maintain synapses, the very stuff of memory. “It's in those connections where most of the cost of running the brain is,” says Raichle.
With such a central role, it shouldn't be surprising that the default network is implicated in some familiar brain diseases. In 2004, Buckner saw a presentation by William Klunk of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Klunk presented 3D maps showing harmful protein clumps in the brains of people with Alzheimer's.
Until then people had only looked at these clumps in one brain location at a time, by dissecting the brains of deceased patients. So when Klunk projected his whole-brain map on the screen, it was the first time many people had seen the complete picture.
Raichle, Greicius and Buckner have since found that the default network's pattern of activity is disrupted in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
They have also begun to monitor default network activity in people with mild memory problems to see if they can learn to predict who will go on to develop Alzheimer's. Half of people with memory problems go on to develop the disease, but which half?
“Can we use what we've learned to provide insight into who's at risk for Alzheimer's?” says Buckner.
The default network also turns out to be disrupted in other maladies including depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism and schizophrenia. It also plays a mysterious role in victims of brain injury or stroke who hover in the grey netherworld between consciousness and brain death known as a minimally conscious or vegetative state. Steven Laureys, a neurologist at the University of Liège in Belgium, has used fMRI to look at patterns of activity in the default networks of people in this state.
“You can really see how this network breaks down as coma deepens,” he says. He is now looking for a link between default network activity and whether patients will regain consciousness after, say, 12 months.
“We're hopiIlg to show that it will have prognostic value,” he says.
All of this has been a long time coming since Sokoloff's surprising observation 55 years ago. Watching the brain at rest, rather than constantly prodding it to do tricks, is now revealing the rich inner world of our private moments. So the next time you're mooching around doing nothing much, take a moment to remind yourself that your brain is still beavering away – if you can tear yourself away from your daydreams, that is.
The Meditating Mind WHEN Zen Buddhists meditate, they may be deliberately switching off their default network, a recently discovered system within the brain that has been strongly linked with daydreaming (see main story).
The goal of Zen meditation is to dear the mind of wandering, stream-of-consciousness thoughts by focusing attention on posture and breathing. Giuseppe Pagnoni, a neuroscientist at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in Italy, wondered whether this meant they had learned to suppress the activity of their default network.
He recruited a group of volunteers trained in Zen meditation and put them in an fMRI scanner. He presented them with random strings of letters and asked them to determine whether each was an English-language word or just gibberish. Each time a subject saw a real word, their default network would light up for a few seconds - evidence of meandering thoughts triggered by the word, such as apple... apple pie... cinnamon.
Zen meditators performed just as well as non-meditators on word recognition, but they were much quicker to rein in their daydreaming engines afterwards, doing so within about 10 seconds, versus 15 for non-meditators (PLoS ONE, vol 3, p e3083).

Does Avatar live up to the hype?
Cameron has been working on ‘Avatar‘ for a long long time. Partly because he had to wait for the technology to catch up to his vision and partly because his vision for the film was massive. Over 800 people at Weta Digital have been working on this film for the past few years. It is huge. Which is why the fanboys are all so hyped up about it, because nothing on this scale has been made before. It’s like LOTR when that first came out – but maybe bigger.
I’ve been trying to ignore all the hype, mainly because the ones doing the hyping are the first to diss the film. So knowing as little as possible about ‘Avatar‘ (which was still a considerable amount considering all the non-fanboy film geeks I’m surrounded with) I went into the film at 11.50pm last night, hoping I wouldn’t fall asleep during the 3 hour runtime.
My overall impression was quite simply: Wow!
The story, briefly, follows a paraplegic marine, Jake Sully played by Sam Worthington, in the year 2154, who is asked to replace his dead scientist twin brother in an off-world experiment because their DNA is an exact match. The planet he travels to is inhabited by the Na’vi – a giant blue humanoid species who are in touch with their Mother Earth-side. Unfortunately they’re ‘hometree’ happens to be over a large mineral deposit which Phoebe’s-brother-off-Friends (Giovanni Ribisi looking much older) wants to mine for the millions it’s worth. So he’s about to send soldiers in to destroy them, but Sigourney Weaver’s genetic scientist/doctor has created ‘avatar’ Na’vi bodies which Jake & co can inhabit to try ‘connect/bond’ with the natives, i.e. spy on them and make them move.
Yep, the story is along similar lines to Pocahontas or Dances with Wolves. It’s not completely unique, but then what story truly is? The important thing is that it’s told well. You believe the characters, the dialogue, their actions/reactions. The world is so well fleshed out, it feels like another Middle Earth in its complexity and details. And their eyes, faces, expressions are so real. Yes, they’re big blue aliens, but at the end they seem more human than the homo sapiens walking round with guns.
The effects are amazing but not over-whelming. I mean that in a good way – they don’t take over. While watching the film, you don’t sit there going “Wow, that computer generated character looks so real” or “I can barely see the border between what’s real and what’s not” or “I wonder who Andy Serkis is playing?”. While watching the film you watch the film.
And that possibly is Cameron’s greatest achievement: to create a mostly CG film, which is in no way distracting, which is utterly convincing and real, and which is enthralling and a bloody good yarn.
Go see it. Everyone’s going to be talking about it for the next 6 months, so if you want to know what they’re going on about, go see it. Or go see it because it’s just good entertainment and a great way to kill 3 hours! | 2019-04-23T14:28:43 | https://littlefighters.wordpress.com/2009/12/19/does-avatar-live-up-to-the-hype/comment-page-1/ |
40 years ago on August 20 1977, Voyager 2 was launched from the NASA Kennedy Space Centre at Cape Canaveral, Florida, followed 16 days later by Voyager 1, with the latter on a faster, shorter trajectory. These two robotic space probes were part of the Voyager programme that would eventually study planets in our solar system which, up until that point, had only been seen through telescopes and with limited accessible facts for us back on Earth.
The Farthest tells us the story of their launch, of the scientists involved and this is achieved with absorbing tales of how it happened, sometimes in extraordinary circumstances and it’s all utterly captivating. For as long as I can recall, I’ve had a deep fascination with science and space, plus those things you might feel are beyond our everyday lives. The inspiring thing about science, which can often be forgotten, is its perpetual ability to always ask why and how, plus, if the truth be known, it’s also unassuming enough to admit if it doesn’t understand. But again, on the flip-side of that, science will also endeavour to discover the answers if it believes it can find a way. That’s its beauty, and those benefits are featured in various ways throughout this documentary.
With her second documentary feature, writer and director Emer Reynolds offers us a truly unique insight to the events that occurred during those early years of huge findings, and what it did for the world. Although Voyager initially aimed to send back the first close-up pictures of Jupiter and Saturn, and it does with aplomb and vigour, it also gave scientists a better understand of the planets within our solar system and consequentially sent back information beyond expectation. Eventually everyone got to learn more than they’d hoped, plus more about the moons around those planets and even constant surprises when the probes moved towards Neptune and Uranus. We get to learn about the time capsule of information they put on board, the ‘Golden Record’ which stored recordings of our cultures, music and life on Earth, and also how the spacecraft excelled and, ultimately, moved beyond the edges of our Solar System’s heliosphere and off into the endless reaches of interstellar space.
For me The Farthest is one of those documentaries you can just immerse within and enjoy. As it’s mainly interview based, alongside CGI graphics and photography from original images sent back by Voyager(s), it’s important that the interviewees are people you can connect to and you really do, mainly due to their dedicated passion and excitement to the cause, even looking back from the present day.
This wasn’t just scientists throwing things out into our Solar System and seeing what happened, well in some senses it was, but it was also expanding the knowledge of our own existence forward in leaps and bounds. The mathematics involved and the computer reprogramming as Voyager 1 and 2 were out collecting data is mind-blowing. To think that the computer memory on the spacecraft is basically the equivalent of your central locking on your car key-fob, and to understand what they achieved is beyond remarkable. This is a tribute to their hard work, super intelligence and that little bit of hope that somehow helps humans find things we’d never known about before.
Packed full of facts, figures and information plus bursting at the seams with enthusiasm, appetite and intrigue, Reynolds‘ The Farthest is the ultimate space documentary by being a true celebration of science and possibilities becoming possible. Remarkable.

Having in previous seasons become a master of the crazy – perhaps exploring the extremes, he has exposed the essential. A show of the collection, on time, no fuss, no front row spectacle and this is clearly ticking boxes with all concerned. The retailers will also no doubt be pleased, a very salable group of pieces, which is no bad thing.
Personally, all things colourful and fantastical as reference such as The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, and Yellow Submarine, cant help entice me before we have even begun. the week here is nearly over, but it is only the start of the marathon. However, if there is more of this class to come from Marc in his next two shows, it will be be worth waiting for. | 2019-04-22T00:13:21 | http://www.emilyjerman.com/emily-jerman/fashion-news/rainbows-rock |
I was with Caroline at the T3 awards last night and I was just as shocked/angered/surprised (I can never read female emotions very well, I’m sure I’ll learn one day) as her when the iPhone 4S was announced as the Work Gadget of the Year.
My money would have been on the Galaxy Note. That said, I’m not really a big fan of the Galaxy Note but I think it brings much more possibility and productivity to a work place environment than the iPhone 4S.
For sheer ingenuity and innovation, I would have thrown the Samsung Galaxy Beam into the mix. With its 4 inch screen, 8GB storage, microSD slot, dual-core 1GHz processor and Android Gingerbread out the box, upgradeable to Jelly Bean, the Galaxy Beam is a decent smartphone already. But the addition of a built-in nHD projector, with an output of 15 lumens and scalable display size of up to 50mm, gives it a massive selling point.
The ability to quickly chuck a presentation onto a wall, or hastily show a struggling employee a YouTube tutorial on software they’re just getting to grips with can prove invaluable.
Plus, on those slow Friday afternoons you could share an episode of Peter Andre: My Life with your colleagues, as a treat (or punishment).
Networking editor, Jennifer Scott: A LiveScribe smartpen, does what it says on the tin, and the HP ScanJet 1000 Professional Mobile Scanner. It easily fits into the laptop bag to take on business trips, perfect for scanning important documents and processing expenses, just plug and play!
Editorial content assistant, Caroline Baldwin: Bose QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones. Whether you’re a frequent flier or not, these will even block out any noisy colleagues in the office.
Editor-in-chief, Bryan Glick: Proving he is all about work ethic, a keyboard. And if you tend to chain yourself to your desk and end up spilling coffee and crumbs all over it, may we suggest the Logitech Washable Keyboard?
Senior reporter at MicroScope, Alex Scroxton: Rory Cellan-Jones – in a thesaurus format sitting on your desk. He would all but eradicate the need for Wikipedia and answer your questions far better than Siri ever could.
Sub editor, Phil Jones: The Lavazza espresso point, to give me the physical and mental strength to comprehend the long techy features thrust upon me.
Now THAT is a shortlist to be proud of. | 2019-04-18T18:45:40 | https://www.computerweekly.com/blog/Inspect-a-Gadget/The-real-Work-Gadget-of-the-Year |

Kapiti Pakeke Lions collector Jill Tebbs from Raumati receives a donation from Pat Wood at Coastlands.
Jill Tebbs was one of many Kapiti Pakeke Lions Club members who recently collected at Coastlands for the Child Cancer Appeal.
Jill said there had been a very enthusiastic response to the appeal.
"People are very generous, especially when it comes to fundraising for children. We are very grateful for the public support."
The Kapiti Pakeke Lions have been busy of late, having recently organised the Paekakariki Express steam train excursion which raised $5000 for the new Ronald McDonald House.
The Club also has a role in the giant Lions Book Fair, and organises the very popular Duck Races on the Waikanae River. | 2019-04-26T12:01:49 | https://kcnews.co.nz/story.php?storyID=6045 |
Quién sabe porqué estoy escribiendo, si todo dejó de tener sentido.
Trabajo, casa, novio, familia, fiesta ya no, amigos ya no, me voy alejando de todo.
Es culpa mía pero se que lo causa una sola persona y no soy tan fuerte para alejarme. Qué tontería, si realmente quisiera ya me hubiera ido algo lejos, o regresado a mi centro. Cada vez me alejo más.
La incertidumbre es la siguiente: si me alejo de él, me acerco a mí? O todo volverá a ser una espiral ciega?
Once upon a time, there was this silly little girl.
She lived in a perfect world, surrounded by people devoted to her, who loved her and felt her love back.
Every detail in her life was perfectly adjusted, everything in place and time and order. Nothing out of place, no harm, no violence.
And then, one day, her world crumbled into a million pieces and she realized it was all a big fat lie.
Therefore, she felt empty, alone and really sad.
Today, she struggles to carry on, pretending everything its just the way it is supposed to be, while deep down her soul she dies every day and every time she forces fake smiles to everyone around her.
Today has been the saddest day of my life.
You wanna know the saddest part of it? There is no specific reason.
Specially: There are no reasons any more.
All I ever ask es from you, was support.
I guess it was just too much to ask for.
Last year, this time of the year, I truly didn’t think I could feel this love for anyone. | 2019-04-22T07:10:45 | https://oaxaquenapatia.wordpress.com/ |

Chronic pain is a challenge for the patient and healthcare professional as it cannot be seen. The best way to manage pain is to form a partnership between yourself, GP and any other health professionals working with you.
Chronic or persistent pain, as it is sometimes referred to, is pain that lasts longer than the time it would normally be expected to (usually more than 3 months). It has been defined by the British Pain Society as “continuous, long-term pain of more than 12 weeks or after the time that healing would have been thought to have occurred in pain after trauma or surgery”. Persistent pain can cause significant distress and can have a disruptive impact on your all aspects of your life.
Referrals to this service can only be made by GPs or other healthcare professionals.
Referrals can be made for any patient experiencing pain for at least 3-6 months and have pain that limits their daily activities.

It is critical for a parent to have a proper otoscope in one’s home to help with monitoring the insides of a child’s ears. Ear infections often occur among many children. With an otoscope, a parent can review the inside of the ear canal and eardrum to see if there are any problems in one’s ear. This is a necessity for keeping a child comfortable and for taking care of any infections that might come about as soon as possible.
There are multiple uses and best otoscopes that parents can use for taking care of their children. Many of these otoscopes are made in larger sets that include many parts designed to help with taking care of one’s ears in a comfortable manner.
The first choice to find is this model from Dr. Mom Otoscopes. This otoscope weighs four ounces and uses a soft LED light. It works with three disposable specula sizes for children and adults alike. It is easy to add each of those specula attachments with this model. The otoscope price is also affordable as it can be found for less than thirty dollars. It is best to buy multiple specula units to work with this model, although those available for cheap.
Primacare makes this otoscope for less than ten dollars. The otoscope reviews for this product have been strong as people like the convenience of the tool. It offers a removable base that can be used even when the specula is not included. Three specula sizes are available for use as well. The clip on the end part also makes it easy for the user to keep it close to one’s body as necessary, thus improving upon how convenient it is.
This next choice comes from Welch Allyn and features a pocket clip around the middle part of the shaft. The light button on this otoscope is clearly visible and gives the user an easy light source. This also uses a simple locking feature that keeps the specula intact. The smooth handle offers a good grip while the clip will not protrude far enough to get in the user’s way. The otoscope is a little less than seven inches in length.
The grooved body of the handle on this otoscope from RA Bock Diagnostics is the first point anyone will notice on this model. The open lens feature near the specula gives the user a quick view of what is on the otoscope at any moment. It works well with a simple light fixture that is easy to trigger as necessary. It comes with three reusable specula with each being simple to wash off without issues. The 5x magnification feature on the otoscope ensures the user will get a better look into anyone’s ear.
This is more valuable than other otoscopes as it is closer to fifty dollars in value. The powerful layout of this otoscope makes it a useful choice for many professional needs.
The last of the otoscope options to get for home use is this model from LifeShop. Otoscope reviews for this have been overwhelmingly high for how the otoscope includes a comfortable layout that is easy to use and does not cause irritation in anyone’s ear. It supports specular units in three sizes for children and adults.
The LED bulb produces a bright light and will not require the battery to be changed often. The basic clip at the end offers for a good storage feature. This is a small unit as well as six inches in height and around half an inch in diameter, thus making it a useful model that is not tough to carry around or use. The advantageous layout of this model gives the user a comfortable design for many needs.
All of these otoscope reviews show that this is a very important tool to have any intention. Make sure you see how all of these otoscopes work when finding a convenient model for your use no matter what type of concern you have over someone’s ear. | 2019-04-26T10:11:28 | https://www.findhealthtips.com/5-best-otoscopes-for-parents/ |

China Mobile has over 760 million customers. The company was one of the last major cellular providers without iPhones on sale. One reason: The provider works with an own 3 g Standard, which is not compatible with the iPhone. Apple in turn wanted to produce no special iPhone for China Mobile. Falls with the construction of the next mobile generation LTE networks this hurdle away.
The deal could Apple next year around twelve million iPhones sold in addition bring industry analyst Katy Huberty of Morgan Stanley estimated recently. For many of China’s mobile customers, the Apple Smartphone is however unaffordable; They therefore resort to competing devices. Apple CEO Tim Cook pointed out in this respect that the group but not at the price screw would turn, but rather waiting until there is more affluent users.

If that did happen, I wonder which half ESA would choose to stay with. Probably the head, because that is where Philae is.
Well, it’s good to know that Rosetta will be watching the comet well into 2016, giving 67P even more time to “lost its head”. I love your guys’ catastrophic point of view.
Who me? I’m liking: “Lab tests using ice mixed with different minerals under simulated sunlight revealed that it only took a few hours of sublimation to produce a dust layer only a few millimeters thick. But it was enough to conceal any sign of ice.” This and the fact that methane and ethane ices have been shown to darken when exposed to sunlight, I find fascinating. The combination of the two could be what causes Ceres bright impact scars to disappear or rapidly fade?
It all looks quite impressive until we realize that most of this process is happening at “snail scale”, (not even “turtle scale” for these smaller low-mass/gravity bodies). Sort of like “watching grass grow”, rather than witnessing “Old Faithful” blast its geyser. Just saying.
You’re correct about the lack of a significant atmosphere around the comet and the fact that’s its slight gravity contributes to the ease of boulder tossing, but I have to differ with you about the speed of the comet’s jets. I’ve read that the dust jets at 67P release material at around 2,500 km/hour. Far from leaking, “blasting” better fits the data. Plumes at Enceladus release vapor at similar speeds.

Dreamed up on the back of a napkin during a meeting of Omaha civic group, the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, the Roundup has been held since 1982, currently at the Qwest Center in Downtown Omaha.
During one long weekend in the final days of the Midwestern summer, the (Downtown) Omaha Lit Fest brings together authors and readers for a celebration of the written word. The festival will be celebrating its sixth year in 2010, look for it (you guessed it!) in Downtown Omaha during the middle of September.
Each year, the Festival, managed as a a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, applies a loose theme that helps unite the many discussions, readings, and exhibitions that take place over the weekend. In 2005, the Lit Fest dealt with Banned Books,and included panel discussions on crime writing, screenwriting, telling secrets in memoirs, and more. | 2019-04-26T10:36:05 | http://omaha.net/places/downtown-omaha?page=10 |

With the end of January marking Chinese New Year, billions celebrated the year of the rooster according to the Chinese Zodiac. Throughout 2017, over 17 million babies will be born in China and, according to the legend of the rooster, are predicted to be talkative, open, honest, and loyal characters. But very sadly, we may not get the chance to benefit from the lives of over 1 million of these little roosters.
According to the World Health Organisation, China sits as the 2nd country with the most preterm births in the world, while five more Asian countries are found in the top ten.
The scale of premature births in Asia is some of the worst in the world.
Besides Africa, Asia suffers from the highest burden of preterm birth in the world with the continent accounting for almost half the planet’s premature babies. However, there are significant discrepancies from country to country, particularly from eastern to southern Asia. Japan, considered one of Asia’s richest countries, boasts one of the lowest prematurity rates at just 5.9%. Conversely Pakistan, in southern Asia, has a rate of 15.8%, one of the world’s highest rates.
Meanwhile, India, with its giant populace, accounts for the greatest number of preterm births in the world. Per WHO’s 2010 statistics, out of India’s 27 million babies born every year, 3.5 million are born too soon and 361,600 die before they turn 5 years old, as a direct result of preterm complications. More recently China, despite its larger population, has managed to reduce its low birthweight thanks to their fast and sustained economic development in recent decades.
But regardless of these healthier results, China still has a long way to go to reduce infant prematurity and mortality. There is little effort to understand the causes of preterm birth in the country and throughout the continent, with few in-depth studies taking place. At Borne, we know that the causes of preterm birth are not universal and are likely to be effected by geography, economy and culture, as well as biology. So despite current research taking place around the world, nothing will really change unless we conduct more co-ordinated medical research on a global scale and understand why women in all regions of the world go into labour early.
Only when this happens will we be able to create a safer environment for all children to be born at full-term and give us the chance to know all of these little roosters. | 2019-04-23T22:12:12 | https://borneblog.com/2017/02/08/new-year-same-challenge-for-china-and-beyond/ |
We came to Eagles headquarters seeking political intrigue, the kind that sparks national debate and gets top billing at the big-time news networks.
The arm is alive, I’ll tell you that much, Ertz said Wednesday of Wentz. He throws the ball just like he did last year. Obviously, he’s in a brace. That’s pretty much the only way you can tell that something’s going on.
Knowing that everything he does — he’s collected, he gets in that huddle ,and he demands. But he showed us in the offseason, before we even started OTAs. He’s bringing us along, we’re doing outings together, hockey games and all those things. He’s taking control. . . . We all get together and understand each other. Because that’s what a team is, understanding each other. If we understand each other then we get on the field, it’s easy.
Maybe the Vikings didn’t fully understand what they had with Keenum. Or maybe they thought he could only take a team so far. Regardless, both the Broncos and the Vikings will be paying close attention to what Keenum accomplishes in Denver, and Vikings fans will be comparing what Keenum does in Denver to what Kirk Cousins does in Minnesota.
Elliott is now free and clear of a 2017 that was marred by legal troubles, the lingering threat of suspension and then an actual suspension that shortened his season by six games. As viewers of All or Nothing know, the drama clearly took a toll on the star running back, who never seemed quite himself after that spectacular rookie campaign of 2016. We expect Elliott to be much closer to his rookie version this fall, and don’t be surprised when all the stories about Elliott being in the best shape of his life start piling up in August. Elliott will be motivated and unburdened, and — given the suspect state of the Dallas passing game — will assuredly continue to be the focal point of the offense. Zeke gonna eat.
Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton has been activated from the 60-day disabled list and will return to Washington’s lineup Saturday after missing two months with an ankle injury.
Kimes: Yes, especially if he plays at a high level for two more years. Darrelle Revis once said this to me about Thomas: That guy has Hall of Fame written all over him.
Richard Sherman (No. 25) and Michael Bennett (No. 72) have left the Seahawks’ star-studded defense. Could Earl Thomas be next to go?
Struggling Twins third baseman Miguel Sano was moved to seventh in the batting order, the lowest starting spot of his major league career and only the second time this season he’s been lower than third. Since coming off the disabled list on May 25, Sano is hitting just .189 in 53 at-bats with four walks and 24 strikeouts.
He does have 12 RBI over those 13 games, including a high chopper to third baseman Luis Valbuena in the second inning that bounced over him to earn a double ruling from the official scorer and drive in Max Kepler from first base. Sano, though, is batting .088 with two strikes (7 for 80) this season.
With Ohtani out, Albert Pujols was the designated hitter and Jose Fernandez played first base in his major league debut at age 30. He singled in his first at-bat. Fernandez didn’t leave his native Cuba until 2015 and didn’t join a major league organization until 2017, when he played mostly in Double-A in the Los Angeles Dodgers system. He signed with the Angels in January and was promoted from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday with infielder Nolan Fontana.
A little more than four years after being drafted into the NFL, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif achieved another major milestone on Tuesday.
The starting right guard for the Kansas City Chiefs graduated from medical school at McGill University in Montreal, earning his Doctor of Medicine and taking another step in a career that he described to ESPN as a really strong Plan Bto football.
I’m proud to be in the NFL, and it’s been an incredible journey to get here, Duvernay-Tardif told ESPN, but being able to combine medical school at the same time, this is the accomplishment I’m proudest about, to be able to combine both. So many times I heard people tell me I’d have to make a choice.
This year, Andy Pettitte will be making his first Old-Timers’ Day appearance. So, too, will current manager Aaron Boone, Jason Giambi and Nick Swisher. The game is scheduled for Sunday, June 17.
I’m just a regular upper-middle-class guy who happens to be a billionaire, Tepper told New York Magazine in 2010. A spokesman for Tepper declined an interview request for this story. | 2019-04-19T12:45:29 | https://www.ucakbilete.com/2018/06/ |

Richard Heinsohn is creating Visual Art, primarily abstract paintings and "Photo Paintings"
Heinsohn holds a B.F.A. in painting and drawing from The University of Georgia. He moved to New York City in 1986 and lived and worked there for fifteen years. He has shown repeatedly in group shows with Allan Stone Gallery, most notable of which was the Summer Group Show of 1995 where he was included along with Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Eva Hess, Richard Estes, Robert Ryman and other notable artists.
Allan Stone (1932-2006), well known as one of the world’s premier and most visionary collectors of art, collected Heinsohn's paintings and supported him extensively.
Richard currently lives and works in Nashville TN. In 2007 he received the "Critic's Pick" from The Nashville Scene for his solo exhibit, The Paradox of Change” at Estel Gallery, which included his vibrant cratered paintings. He was also featured in The Tennessean for this exhibition, which raised questions about destruction, creation and transformation. This marked Heinsohn’s return to visual art after a six-year hiatus during which he focused on performing and recording music.
Since his return to painting, Heinsohn's work has been shown extensively and has been the subject of numerous articles. He is currently represented exclusively by The Bill Lowe Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia.
Clearly visible in both the photo paintings and his newly developed Relational Abstractions, Heinsohn’s twenty first century work continues to reflect his long term commitment to conceptual abstraction as a reflection of the Anthropocene era, conjuring the sublime and the otherworldy into the context of chaos and cataclysm. | 2019-04-25T07:53:37 | https://staging.patreon.com/user?u=16074076 |

After a run of three straight defeats, Watford have bounced back in the best possible fashion with back to back victories in the past fortnight. They have picked up maximum points against both West Ham and Newcastle but this evening the task is a little tougher as they play host to Manchester United.
Tonight we will see Portuguese managers duke it out at Vicarage Road as Marco Silva and Jose Mourinho, many say that the former is the heir apparent to the latter and the former Hull City bosses stock is already high going in to this fixture.
So much so that he is still being courted by Everton as their search for a new boss continues, should the man who at one time was in the Olympiakos hotseat be able to mastemind a win over Manchester United this evening than you can only imagine that the stock will only increase further.
Ultimately the reason he is attracting so much attention from Everton is down to the fact that he has almost transformed Watford over night after taking over the reigns in the Summer. The Hornets currently find themselves 8th in the table and it is fair to say that they have been very easy on the eye this season.
That was no less evident when they traveled to Newcastle last Saturday and made easy work of Rafa Benitez’s men. In fairness Newcastle were very abject at the same time but ultimately the old adage that you can only beat what is front of you could not have been more true.
They usually score two goals on the road but last weekend they went one better as they ended up winning 3-0 at St James’ Park and after a slow start to his Watford career Will Hughes is finding his groove after scoring in back to back league fixtures.
He may well have his work cut out if he is to make it three goals in three games as Manchester United have the meanest defence in the Premier League this season. They have conceded just six goals in their first 13 matches of the season.
Saturday saw David de Gea complete another shut out with Brighton the latest team to be foiled at Old Trafford. United were made to work for their win though as it needed Ashley Young’s second half goal to break the deadlock, a goal that would prove to be the difference come the end of the game.
That win temporarily saw United cut the gap at the top to their crosstown rivals City to just five points what with Pep Guardiola’s men playing a day later and they must have believed at one point that Huddersfield were going to do them a favour after Nicolas Otamendi put through his own net to give the Yorkshire outfit the lead.
However as we now know there is no stopping the blue machine as of late and the gap has been restored to eight points once again, that said the other results around on Saturday went there way with Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham only picking up a solitary point that day.
You get the feeling that the title race is down to a two horse race before we’ve even entered December and United have a chance to add a bit of pressure onto their arch rivals this evening by taking all three points away from Hertfordshire.
Last season United came here and lost 3-1 but it is fair to say that both teams are much changed so do not expect the same result this time around. I think both teams will score but I have a feeling it will be Jose Mourinho who wins the battle of the Portugeezers. An away win for me. | 2019-04-19T09:13:44 | http://realfootballman.com/football/watford-vs-manchester-united-premier-league-match-preview/ |
My name is Liat Waldman, a jewelry designer. I own a studio and a gallery down town Haifa city. My connection with the place began in my childhood; it was my grandfather’s shoe store.

We love the palest greeny-yellow contrasting seams on the teal version of these fabulous long pixie leggings. It makes them look all leafy. We also adore the scarlet seam detail on the black pair. Like all leggings they're seriously practical. Unlike many leggings they're also really beautifully designed, with a stunning flower-inspired embroidered pattern at the knee. Flattering, fun, and a rebellious way to take the humble legging to the next level. Party on!
I do not usually wear leggings, but theses are thick and very comfy and look perfect with the WD skirts I have. Also great with tunics and warm too. Very smart and stylish. | 2019-04-23T04:44:11 | https://www.wickeddragon.co.uk/long-pixie-leggings.html |

My husband and I chose to move our family to this town because Trumbull is a wonderful town filled with great people, parks and schools. But what has been lacking in town for the past several years is a government that builds consensus and brings together residents through our common love for the place we proudly call home.
While our nation is deeply divided, the issues that we care about in Trumbull don’t have to be a source of division. This is why in November, we need to elect a first selectman who is positive and enthusiastic about working with everyone, even those who disagree with them.
That person is Vicki Tesoro.
A 20-year resident of Trumbull, Vicki and her husband Tom have raised two daughters here, both of whom graduated from Trumbull public schools. She has decades of experience in the financial industry as a tax fiduciary and individual tax consultant. She is a dedicated public servant and community volunteer, having served on the PTSA for years where she developed a model program on teen drug and alcohol prevention.
Vicki is a true advocate of public education and is committed to improving our schools through expanded AP offerings, a greater emphasis on life skills, and a plan to renovate school facilities over the next decade.
Having served as a Town Council member and currently serving on the Board of Finance, she has the knowledge and experience to run a town government efficiently and effectively. She is a common sense leader committed to ensuring that Trumbull meets the needs of every generation, from young families like mine to our seniors.
In her first term, Vicki is committed to ending the practice of wasteful spending on excessive lawyer fees and prohibiting long-term six-figure contracts for senior municipal employees. She will oppose proposals to charge fees for use of our parks and facilities as well as a new tax on garbage pickup being discussed by the current leadership.
Vicki will protect the character of our town by safeguarding valuable properties that are now at risk of being sold to the highest bidder, and aim to return the town to seven voting districts in order to boost turnout in local elections, reduce wait time and ensure voting is convenient for all citizens.
Vicki’s campaign slogan is simple – we as a town are better together. We are better when people of all political affiliations, generations, and backgrounds are on the same team.
Trumbull needs a leader that represents the best in all of us and sets a new and much needed tone of civility in 2017.
Vicki Tesoro is the leader Trumbull needs to move forward. | 2019-04-19T13:20:28 | https://www.trumbulltimes.com/68051/letter-tesoro-is-the-leader-trumbull-needs/ |

If either of these people are still alive they are now in their 80’s. And one had a cool story to tell about how he once obtained a foul ball, the hard way! | 2019-04-19T06:56:26 | http://stuffnobodycaresabout.com/2017/07/07/i-want-that-baseball/ |

The world is experiencing a change. With time passing by, the economy seems to improve and the construction business reaches out for sound strategies. Here are some on coming trends to look out for this year pertaining to the construction business and how they will course their path for the future.
Traditionally, engineering documents are drafted and then passed on to the contractor to re-draw it with more information.In order to save time and money,there is a transition of all the data to in-house fom engineering to the coordination, thereby developing a one stop solution. If an adequate model is followed, the construction process goes on smoothly.
Consider the material that are being used for the construction purpose.It’s recommendable to keep a track of the materials used by the engineer or the contractor so as to avoid extra investments.The quality and strength of the material being used and how it is being used always makes a huge amount of difference in the process of construction.
Energy consumption is always an important factor to be considered during the construction process.There are systems that recover energy through heat wheels and occupancy sensors. These systems are eventually becoming vital. For instance there are sensors which sense the presence of carbon-dioxide present in a particular room that has been unused for a while.apart from this, the sensor ensures ventilation of the room by evacuating the carbon-dioxide from the room and letting fresh air to settle in.
It is being noticed that permanent modular construction might as well be a huge trend in the upcoming years.Permanent modular constructions can generally last up to 50 odd years without any touch ups. These constructions appear more or less like the commercial constructions and generally require the same raw materials such as metal ,wood ,concrete etc.
Modular constructions fit in quite well particularly in time restrained cases. Be it a fast food restaurant thats is needed at the earliest or an army barrack for military deployment, modular constructions might turn out to be the appropriate solution. Modular constructions allows the builders to always possess the added benefit of increasing or decreasing space utilization as per necessity. All that is required is to spread awareness about this technique so that people understand how useful it can be inte coming times.
Innovation and creative ideas always lead to some of the coolest inventions. Its the era of experimentation, an era of out of the box thinking. There are well rounded mechanical engineers who are swift enough to implement these engineering design models. What is required is to be able to confront this challenge and show the flexibility. | 2019-04-22T05:10:00 | http://www.plazmedia.com/2015/interpreting-the-oncoming-trends-of-building-contruction/ |

what shoes/boots are in style for fall? round toe, square, pointed? and what colors, heels?? I see EVERYTHING when I shop latley-not really one or two distinct trends. help? please?
I LOVE boots!!!!! What about the square toed style? I found a dark red pair that make my mouth water.
fortezza-I like those as well.
thanks for the info Lena!
round toe. definately. i have been wearing round toe heels for a long time now. they are more versitile. a pointed heel looks good with pants, and that is about it.
i have to skip on boots. i think that they look clunky and make anyone look shorter than they are.
up or down! They add a bit of fun over the pointy or square toe!
I like pointed toe. Round toe looks a little hoofish to me, not flattering. Although, I do have a pair of round toe Narciso Rodriguez pumps that looks nice with skirts, but I'd never wear them with trousers.
Alejandro, are you talking about these?
trean, at first i really disliked the heel but as you said: its growing on me too. | 2019-04-24T15:57:33 | https://forums.thefashionspot.com/threads/fall-shoes.11963/ |
These notes are rough, but might prove useful in the future (or to someone else who had the same problem). I wanted to join my newly created OpenSolaris 2008.11 installation to my experimental Windows Server 2008 Active Directory. I followed the tutorial in the Solaris CIFS Administration Guide, but when I attempted the actual join command, it failed with LOGIN_FAILURE.
Firstly, make sure you have the IP address setup correctly, name added in /etc/hosts, DNS setup correctly in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf. You make sure you are on the same domain as the Active Directory ("windows.zone" in my case).
Then setup Kerberos by editing /etc/krb5/krb5.conf. This is documented in the manual.
I then ran a gpupdate /force.
I re-ran the join command, and it worked properly. OpenSolaris CIFS server now part of the Active Directory domain. | 2019-04-23T14:13:01 | http://www.livingonthecloud.net/2009/02/joining-opensolaris-cifs-server-to-ad.html |
March 28: Anniversary of the Collier Park Riot in Ocean Beach – Who’s Collier and What Riot?
March 28, 1971 was the day of the historic Collier Park Riot in Ocean Beach – 47 years ago. It was probably the wildest day in OB’s history. It certainly was OB’s most violent day.
The riot occurred when San Diego police attacked a peaceful gathering of hundreds of young OBceans and students who had gathered at a site in northeast OB – on what was to become Collier Park – as part of an anti-Vietnam war protest and a ‘clean-up the park’ project.
Collier? D. Charles Collier is the true “father of Ocean Beach” – and as one of his many contributions to the community over a hundred years ago, he donated a huge chunk of land to “the children of San Diego” – part of which became Collier Park and another part later Bill Cleator Park.
And this event nearly 5 decades ago – still has significance for the community and denizens of the village of Ocean Beach.
The OB Rag has probably published a piece about the Collier Park Riot every March 28th for the last 10 years or so. We do so to inform each new generation of OBceans and remind each past generation of OBceans about this famous – some say “infamous” – day in OB’s history – and we do this as a repository of a collective community memory bank. Somebody needs to keep track of all the stuff that comes down over the years and decades (like the OB Historical Society and other OB historians).
On that Spring day hundreds of young people and students had gathered at the then-vacant hilltop along Greene Street – it was all part of a 2-part demonstration: the first part was a huge anti-Vietnam war protest down at the beach. The second part included a march up Voltaire to the top of the hill on Greene Street where free food was to be handed out, a local band was setting up to play – and a clean-up of the future park was to occur. It was a protest to show support for the creation of a park – as the City was making moves to sell off all the land for apartment developments.
But all the plans for the event changed when a column of police showed up at the gathering.
Then under the command of Police Chief Ray Hoobler, police back then were known to be very confrontational when dealing with African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, gays, hippies – and anti-war demonstrators.
So when the police showed up in force, there were no negotiations, no discussion; it was an unlawful assembly and had to be dispersed. So, rioting broke out when police – in an unprovoked move – forcefully broke up the assemblage, arresting whoever was slow to move out of the area. But many of the young people who had been chased from the park, turned around and defied the police with a massive fusillade of rocks.
Over the course of the next few hours, 50 people were arrested, a bunch of people were injured, a cop car was engulfed in flames, as the rioting swept down the hill and over a mile to the beach.
Now, this event, as wild and crazy as it was, wasn’t the first time OBceans stood up to city and law enforcement to save a piece of Ocean Beach. There was the famous Jetty Battle of the Summer of 1970.
Collier – or as he liked to be called – “Col. Collier” – was an early San Diego developer and became the father of Ocean Beach due to his many contributions to making Ocean Beach a true community. Probably one of the most significant things Collier accomplished was to build a successful trolley line out to Ocean Beach from San Diego. It was completed in 1909.
This significant access made it possible to have a community connected to the larger and growing metropolitan area of San Diego. Looking back, we can see Collier’s successful streetcar line was the turning point for Ocean Beach. San Diegans now could live at the beach and work or go downtown. This sped up housing in OB and a year later there were a hundred homes, where just two years earlier, there had been but 18.
An OB Rag party commemorating the day in Collier Park, 2011.
One of his most significant acts, as mentioned, was to donate a large tract of land to San Diego and its children. And eventually, what is now Collier Park was developed from it, as was Bill Cleator Park.
And ever since the land was donated by Collier, it has been shrinking. With the electoral “authorization”, the City of San Diego carved up the land, tearing a boulevard through the middle, handing off a good-sized section for the creation of Collier Junior High (later Correia Middle School), another chunk for the YMCA, and the western portion would be sold off by for the development of apartments.
Back in 1970 and ’71, grassroots activists in Ocean Beach were plotting on how to save the land as a park. It’s a great success story but – it was a battle. See more of the story here.
Yet, recently, the Park has suffered some neglect: the children’s play equipment has rusted and been removed. Sections of the park don’t appear to be maintained. And one gets the sense that outside of locals, no one really knows that the park exists – which is quite okay with some of those locals.
Forty-seven years ago, the youth of Ocean Beach took a stand. In its aftermath, a park was born. And from then, the community witnessed and experienced an era of activism that was ushered in, and combined with the counter-culture nature of OB, created the Ocean Beach that we know today.
We did stop the damn thing, and digging that damned berm out those nights sucked! But it was worth it because it would have toasted OB’s surf and some wealthy ‘developer’ would certainly have gotten a Dana Point project in there and wouldn’t that have turned OB into just another polluted backwater SoCal yacht harbor like Newport Beach? Ugh!
History was in the making but we were just mad as hell! | 2019-04-19T17:00:10 | https://obrag.org/2018/03/march-28-anniversary-of-the-collier-park-riot-in-ocean-beach-whos-collier-and-what-riot/ |

So why to waste time get an impressive watch and gift her, you don’t have to see the price of the watches all the time, if you found any watch attractive and different in less range also you can present them.

When trying to load related entities using the "Include" eager loading feature of EF, it always generates SQL that uses an LEFT OUTER JOIN e.g.
This is not always desirable, especially when you only want to retrieve Customers that have at least one or more related Orders. By forcing the generated SQL to always use LEFT OUTER JOIN, it's going to load all Customers regardless of whether they have related Orders or not. This can become extremely inefficient, especially when there are lots of Customers and you only want to load the few that have related Orders.
Would be good to have the option of using either an INNER or OUTER JOIN when doing eager loading to improve the generated SQL's efficiency.
I cannot believe this only has 11 votes! The use of LEFT OUTER JOINs instead of intended INNER JOINs seems to expand the generated SQL exponentially, and slow performance to a crawl.
In the simple example above, it's not that bad. But more complex queries bring in many tables with nullable foreign keys. Join/Bridge tables also introduce LEFT OUTER JOINs. Oddly enough, sometimes the do not.
When performance is an issue, and developers see the SQL generated, they invariably abandon LINQ for Stored Procedures and TSQL. At lease that has been my experience 100% of the time.
I LOVE EF, and stubborly refused to give up. I burned days of my own time trying to understand how to control the JOINs. But I am plumb out of time and have to give up.
Please, please add a JoinRequired, IncludeRequired, or any other means to let the developer choose the JOIN.
By design the use of Include in a query only conveys the need to traverse a path of navigation properties and to load the associated objects found in the path. It does not apply filtering to the root query on which it is called.
To implement Include with these semantics, EF needs to use LEFT OUTER JOINs in the general case.
In EF5 and the updates to the EF core libraries in .NET 4.5 we made the query logic smarter to take advantage of additional information to decide when it is ok to use INNER JOIN instead of LEFT OUTER JOIN. E.g. if Include traverses a navigation property based on a non-nullable foreign key (i.e. a one-to-many association, as opposed to a cero-or-one-to-many association), it will use INNER JOIN because it knows that the starting entity will always have an associated entity on the other end.
I would expect this improvement to help improve performance in many cases. | 2019-04-24T18:06:13 | https://data.uservoice.com/forums/72025--closed-entity-framework-core-feature-suggestions/suggestions/1705481-option-to-use-inner-join-sql-when-eager-loading-a |

"Pen, what's wrong with your skin?"
I wasn't alone in my dermatological dilemma: the British Journal of Dermatology estimates that acne affects 9.4 per cent of the global population making it the eighth most prevalent disease worldwide.
In Australia, 85 per cent of 15 to 24-year-olds are affected by the disease, and the impact on self-esteem and wellbeing can be devastating, leading many to search desperately for effective treatment. Ultimately people often turn to the harshest but most proven treatment: isotretinoin, or as it's more commonly known, Roaccutane.
Penny Burfitt before using the drug.
"It was awful," she says. "I used to nearly cry when I looked in the mirror in the morning when I was like 14 or so.
"It definitely made me want to go out and see people less."
"I was extremely self-conscious," she recalls. "I couldn't leave the house without wearing makeup and often wouldn't leave the house if I was having a really bad acne day."
"The emotional psychosocial impact is huge," he says. "(In that sense) it's much worse than having a cancer or having diabetes or one of these other conditions that people can't see."
There was a possibility of severely dry and irritable skin, vision impairment, birth defects in case of pregnancy, psychiatric disorders - the list went on.
Dr Schumack says when used appropriately the drug has "revolutionised" dermatology.
"It's been the best thing since sliced bread as far as acne treatment is concerned," he says.
For Emily, after years of trialling different treatments, Roaccutane was a "miracle pill", finally delivering the "crystal clear" skin she was craving.
"It's changed my life," she says. "I thought I'd never get clear skin back."
But that "miracle" can come at a high cost.
"After three months of being on the medication I was really down and crying a lot and often didn't want to get out of bed," she said. "I noticed an immediate change in my mental health, and when I came off it for two weeks I was fine."
Within six months of taking the drug, Ms Murray's mother pulled her out of school and into a psychologist's office. One month after finishing her dosage her therapy ended, her depression is now under control.
"It all started really suddenly," she said "And I'd never had any issues before with depression."
Elizabeth Perrottett was prescribed the drug after nothing else worked. She said she experienced severe mood swings: "It was like I had PMS all the time".
HOW DOES 'MIRACLE DRUG' WORK?
Dr Diana Rubel, a consultant dermatologist and senior lecturer with the Australian National University's medical school, says neither her observations in her clinical experience nor scientific studies offered any causative link.
"I do not see any increased correlation between isotretinoin and mental illness, when compared to all my other acne patients," she said.
She points to the Australasian College of Dermatology's recent position statement on isotretinoin, which concluded that incidents of depression directly linked to isotretinoin is as low as one in 1000.
Dr Schumack was an author on the statement and said reports from patients continue to indicate at least some kind of link that can't be ignored.
"There are still cases where people have reported and have been convinced that there is a link. So we can't say there's no link."
He said, however, that the link is likely an example of the "nocebo effect", which occurs when a patient becomes so concerned about potential medical issues, they imagine them into existence.
"All medicines have risks and benefits," it said, with a doctor making the judgment if those benefits are worth it.
Like many medicines there is a long list of possible side effects for Roaccutane, most of them are only likely to be mild in nature, the company said. However depression is listed as a possible but rare "serious side effect" and if symptoms occured while on the drug, the person should seek "urgent medical care".
Ms Wilton said she would "100 per cent" go through her symptoms again for clear skin.
"I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone, particularly teenagers who are moody and hormonal anyway."
For me, it all seemed too much and I stuck to spot creams and diet changes, with mixed results. I still struggle with my skin. At 24 years old I wake up with breakouts, I duck my head in public to avoid the looks of passers-by when I know my skin is particularly bad. I feel embarrassed and depressed some days when I catch my reflection and the layers of makeup I've applied still don't hide the ugly spots.
I can understand the appeal; when so much weight is placed on physical attractiveness, almost anything is worth a go. What is clear is the way you look holds a firm grasp on your mental wellbeing, and as long as this is the case many will risk the side effects. Wouldn't you? | 2019-04-21T10:32:28 | https://www.ballinaadvocate.com.au/news/is-miracle-drug-worth-the-pain/3611631/ |
If you are looking into orthodontics options for your teen, it is important to consider Invisalign® vs. traditional braces for teens. You should also know what both solutions look like on a daily basis. Essentially, any orthodontic solution will move teeth by applying pressure. This pressure has to be placed on the right teeth at the right time so that gradually, they move into position. Both solutions do an excellent job. At the end of the day it really comes down to lifestyle, convenience, and what your teen will feel confident wearing. At Twiss Dental, we welcome you to call (720) 623-0020 and schedule an appointment with our Highlands Ranch, CO dental office. At the appointment, we can examine your teen and let you know if Invisalign® is right for them. During this appointment, we will answer any questions that you or they have so that they can be empowered to decide how to proceed. After all, while your teen is still a child, an orthodontics treatment requires their involvement and commitment. Once we have it, their treatment will go smoothly and their smile will be transformed into something beautiful.
At Twiss Dental, we know that the cost of orthodontics is relatively the same, whether your teen gets braces or Invisalign®. We can give you a full breakdown and discuss payment options when you come in for a consultation.
In our Highlands Ranch dental office, one of the biggest concerns we hear from teens (especially the hungry ones) is that wearing orthodontics will impact their daily diet. We know that most of our younger patients are fairly particular in what they eat and at the very least, have multiple favorite foods. If things like pizza, hamburgers, sandwiches and popcorn are on their “must have” list, than Invisalign® is a far better option than braces. When wearing traditional metal braces, teens have to eat carefully. You cannot simply bite into a burger or sandwich and if you do, you will have a ton of food stuck in between your teeth. For teens, and adults, this can be completely embarrassing. Many teens change what they eat while wearing braces while others simply don’t eat in public. Both can be inconvenient and silly when Invisalign® provides a better way. Since the Invisalign® aligners are designed to come out while eating, your teen can eat whatever they want without worrying about how they look or their orthodontics becoming damaged. This means that life can continue on like normal, without the annoying adjustments that teens don’t enjoy.
Another factor to compare when evaluating Invisalign® vs. traditional braces for teens is oral hygiene. This is a big deal because, as a dentist, we do not want any of our patients to suffer from decay and as a parent, you do not want your child to end up with a bunch of cavities. At Twiss Dental, our solution is to provide teens with Invisalign® instead of braces. When wearing braces, the risk for decay naturally goes up because it is harder to keep teeth clean. With Invisalign®, the aligners come out while brushing so their oral hygiene routine can remain virtually the same. The only slight difference is that the aligners need to be brushed with warm water and a soft toothbrush before being put back in. We can also recommend a special cleaning solution but otherwise, the process is the same as always and completely easy. If your teen gets braces instead, they will need to use a special flossing tool and a brush that looks like a tree to get the food particles and plaque off of the area around the brackets. This has to be repeated for every tooth so you can imagine how much longer it will take.
Don’t forget school activities when comparing Invisalign® vs. traditional braces for teens. At Twiss Dental, we have found that the majority of our patients do more than simply go to school. They are in the band, choir, play sports, act in the school play, etc. In other words – they are busy. Braces can interfere with this because they can be uncomfortable and make it difficult to play an instrument. They can also create a hazard when playing high-impact sports. Fortunately, Invisalign® does not. The aligners can be removed during any of these activities so that your teen does not have to sacrifice anything to straighten their teeth. They will be far happier with the process as a result. If you are unsure about a specific activity and how Invisalign® could impact it, visit our Highlands Ranch, CO dental office to speak with Dr. Tyler Twiss.
Once your teen is done wearing Invisalign or traditional braces they will need to wear a retainer. It is normal and few, if any, can escape this reality. The reason is simple. Teeth can revert back to their old position, if only slightly. Wearing a retainer at night, can help to keep teeth in the correct and improved position. The good news is that your teen will be so used to wearing their aligners, a retainer will not seem like a big deal. In our Highlands Ranch dental office, we can explain the various options for retainers but typically recommend a clear, full retainer that closely resembles the aligners they are accustomed to.
Call our Highlands Ranch, Colorado dental office at 720-623-0020 to discuss this solution in further detail. At Twiss Dental, we can answer your questions and help your teen to make an informed decision regarding their orthodontics treatment. We are located in the Highlands Ranch area and look forward to meeting you to discuss Invisalign Teen®. | 2019-04-18T17:06:53 | https://www.twissdental.com/highlands-ranch-co/invisalign-vs-traditional-braces/ |

And it’s not just jobs that look strong. Paychecks are growing. Hourly earnings climbed 3.2% in January from January 2018, and data released Thursday show that wages and salaries rose 3.1% in the final three months of 2018 compared to the same months the prior year.
Not since the end of the Great Recession a decade ago have wages risen like this.
Since mid-2009 the foreign-born employment share has risen by about 2.6 percentage points—implying that wages would be about 1% higher than they are today had an immigration moratorium been in effect since then.
Hottest economy in the world? Maybe. But exactly who in the U.S.A. is basking in the heat?
Kudlow, a longtime dogmatic immigration enthusiast miraculously Born Again as a loyal Trumpist, conveniently ignores job data from the “other” employment survey, of Households rather than Employers. The January Household Survey found a 251,000 drop in total employment from December.
The Household Survey is our sole source for job data on the immigration status of workers. Our analysis of the latest survey finds that immigrants gained jobs bigtime, while Native-Born Americans lost them.
The immigrant employment index, set at 100.0 in January 2009, rose to 127.9 from 126.9 in December.
The Native-Born American employment index fell to 107.0 from 107.4 in December.
The New VDARE American Worker Displacement Index (NVDAWDI), our term for the ratio of immigrant to native-born employment growth indexes, rose to 119.5 from 118.2 December. The all-time displacement high, 123.0, was set in April.
Native-born American workers lost ground to their foreign-born competitors throughout the Obama years; this trend accelerated significantly in the months leading up to the 2016 election. Half way through his first term, President Trump has still not broken this trend.
Since taking office in January 2017, he has presided over a labor market in which immigrants gained 1.7 million jobs, a 6.5% increase, while native-born Americans gained 2.9 million, a rise of 2.3%. As far as the jobs are concerned, “America First” has not (yet) translated into Americans First.
Another way of looking at American worker displacement: the immigrant share of total U.S. employment.
Immigrants held 17.67% of all jobs in January, up from 17.51% in December. The all-time high (18.1%) was recorded in April 2018. January’s immigrant employment share ranks third-highest among the 121 months for which we have data.
January is when population estimates for the Household Survey are updated. The changes reflect new information about net immigration, birth rates, death rates, as well as “…estimation methodology improvements.” Unfortunately, BLS does not update the Household Survey figures for December 2018 or earlier months. This creates a discontinuity in the monthly data available to us.
In December, we reported that the immigrant population of working age (16 years plus) increased by 1.439 million, the fifth consecutive month of 1 million+ growth. For what it’s worth, the figure for January is 284,000 – less than one-fifth the December influx.
As noted above, the January and December figures are not comparable. We are flying without a compass. A clearer picture of the immigrant population trend may emerge in later months of 2019.
There are seasonal trends at work here, of course, so it is particularly alarming that the year-over-year increase this December was larger than in any December since 2008.
The Border Patrol website is still down. The latest BP data we have is for November, when 62,456 border crossers were apprehended.
Data blackout notwithstanding. there is good news to report. On January 24th the Trump Administration announced it would start blocking some asylum seekers from entering over the Mexican border. [U.S. to Begin Blocking Asylum Seekers From Entering Over Mexican Border , by Glenn Thrush, New York Times, January 24, 2019] The ban starts small, at the San Ysidro border crossing near San Diego, but will be expanded to heavily trafficked crossings along the entire border. That’s better than the current “catch and release” policy that allows asylum seekers to stay in the country until their cases are adjudicated, but not nearly as good as alternative protocols, especially those requiring that they stay in Mexico until their applications are thoroughly vetted.
Better still: A Wall. And perhaps cheaper, considering the ongoing expenditures required to house, vet, and weed out criminals, terrorists, and other undesirables from the throng of applicants.
If Trump’s protocol is rigorously implemented crossers will be deterred, and Border Patrol apprehensions should decline. An increase would signal either flaws in the new protocol, or a jump in demand for illegal alien workers on the part of U.S. employers. E-Verify would help with the latter; a Wall would help with both. We will monitor the data.
Source: BLS, The Employment Situation-January 2019, Table A-7, February 1, 2019.
Immigrant employment rose 3.5%; native-born American employment was up 0.9%. ADVANTAGE IMMIGRANTS, though reduced from the multiples we saw earlier this year.
The immigrant unemployment rate fell to 4.5%, down by 4.3% from last year; the native-born unemployment rate fell to 4.4%, a. 2.2% drop over that period. A win for immigrants–although not nearly as dire as the divergence, year-over-year, last month, when immigrant unemployment rates fell 5-times faster than that of native-born.
How about suggesting an immigration moratorium? | 2019-04-24T09:59:21 | https://vdare.com/articles/national-data-strong-economy-masking-continuing-immigrant-displacement-of-american-workers |
Nowadays vintage style has become more popular and widely used. Use your creative thinking to make your home look fabulous. You can also try to combine modern and vintage style as well.
Add some luxury to your room with metal furniture. You may choose beautiful metal beds, romantic gazebos and pergolas and other home accessories. Metal is a material which is widely used in the manufacture of different pieces of furniture such as metal garden furniture, metal bed frames, unique restaurant furniture and others. Metal makes furniture incredibly easy to use and maintain.
Vintage chic is a really wonderful furniture design. The pieces look amazing in the bedroom, living room and anywhere! You can also create vintage chic furniture yourself. All you need is to take a great piece of furniture and paint it. You should give your piece some shabby chic. Don’t be discouraged by lousy finish or color of the wood: you will be covering this up. However, you should look for an excellent shape of the object and solid wood. Painted vintage chic furniture is best done if the wood is solid enough.
Vintage metal furniture is also widely used to create elegant appearance in the outdoor area. Besides, vintage metal bed frames can bring something unique and special into any bedroom. They are suitable for classically-decorated bedrooms as well as modern decorated design.
Vintage French furniture is not being produced today, so purchasing such fabulous pieces can be very exciting indeed. In the 50s and 60s most manufactures offered their sets in a white finish and a natural wood finish.
Modern vintage furniture has also become widely used nowadays. It is not difficult to combine two design styles if you choose all décor elements wisely. Most vintage designs tent to be more elaborate, while modern one is usually minimalistic.
If you decide to paint your furniture yourself, you should first strip of any previous lacquer, paint, vanish, or anything that will prevent the paint from the sticking. Once you have it sanded enough, add a coat of primer, and the piece whatever color you choose. The best colors for vintage styles are white, light blue, cream and black. | 2019-04-23T18:24:24 | http://molotilo.com/furniture/furniture-design/amazing-vintage-furniture-for-your-home |
Winter may be a picturesque season, with the snow creating a winter wonderland that makes for quite a gorgeous and magical sight, but apart from its perks, it can take a toll on your skin and leave it dry, dull and frustratingly itchy.
You may head to your drugstore for a quick fix, only to be confronted with hundreds of products that can leave you scratching your head in confusion.
Apart from not knowing where to start, once you do pick out a product, you may be dismayed to skim the label and realize that the product is brimming in synthetic chemicals that can put your health at risk. Apart from the health risks, these products provide no real long-term skin benefits due to the lack of real, nutrient-rich ingredients.
Using the right products is just one step in the fight against dry skin in winter. Keep reading for two tips to keep your skin hydrated, glowing and touchingly soft all season long!
Plump, hydrated skin starts on the inside, and water is your best defense against the drying effects of this chilly season. Water helps to hydrate and nourish the skin cells from the inside out for plumper, smoother skin that glows with radiance.
You may be more tempted to sip on sugary lattes when the temperatures dip below zero, but it may surprise you to learn that sugar actually draws water out of your cells and will leave your skin dehydrated, dull, and in serious need of a hydration boost!
It may be hard to sip on water when your body craves something a little warmer. so why not switch out your sugary drinks for delicious herbal teas instead?
Here’s a few recipes that will benefit your health and your skin, and they are guaranteed to warm your chilly bones!
We all want to enjoy hydrated and dewy skin when our skin is dry and flaky, but you may find that hydrating products usually fall into two categories; the first group of products are usually heavy and leave a greasy film on the skin, which is not ideal. The second group of products are usually too lightweight and absorb quickly, but your skin may still feel dry to the touch.
When you make the switch to all natural products filled with real, nutrient-rich ingredients, then this no longer becomes a problem.
Our Ultra Ultra Hydrating Facial Cream is luxuriously rich, yet will leave no greasy feel on your skin, just a perfect balance of dewy hydration for soft, smooth and glowing skin.
Organic Aloe, coconut and jojoba oils provide much-needed soothing hydration for skin that may be sensitive and stressed, while organic neem seed oil provides nourishment to dehydrated skin, and white willow bark provides gentle exfoliating properties to smooth dull, rough skin. It doesn’t end there! DMAE & MSM provide potent anti-aging benefits help smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and soften skin.
These two tips ensure your skin is hydrated internally and externally so you can enjoy dewy soft and glowing skin whether indoors or outdoors!

This is a really nice and quite rare 1979 Subaru BRAT with under 79K original miles.
Prior to my purchase of this car last year, it was used for many years by the previous owner at a boy scout camp in PA and put away in the winter months. This car has been garaged for the last 14 months since I have owned it and it does get driven occasionally.
The engine starts right up even in cold weather with no smoke or leaks. The tires were replaced by previous owner and are in great shape. The 4 speed transmission shift beautifully and the 4WD system engages smoothly and functions as it should.
The front brakes including calipers were replaced with new parts. Plugs, filters and battery were replaced. Vacuum lines and any wiring issues were replaced or repaired. leaky valve covers were given new gaskets.
The previous owner coated the undercarriage and engine bay with motor oil in an effort to prevent rust. This oil did its job for the most part on this BRAT as there are only a few areas of surface rust on the upper body. There is a small area of rust under the accelerator pedal and also small hole on the passenger side floor. Rear shock towers are rust free.
This BRAT is equipped with a dealer installed A/C unit that was converted to use R134A, but the unit is currently not working.
The paint on this car looks great and as said before, there are few small areas of surface rust where chips were not touched up. It has had one repaint as far as I can tell and there is only one spot on a lower rear rocker that has filler. It appears that the front fenders were replaced at the time of the repaint.
The interior is in fantastic shape with exception of a few small cracks in the dash top. I installed a fitted, carpeted dash cover. All lights, switches, radio, heater, wipers, windows function perfectly, and the Citizen clock keeps perfect time! The plaid upholstery is in great shape with only a small tear at the bottom of the driver's side backrest. Carpets are in good shape.
The exhaust system aft of the catalytic convertor should be replaced, but it is not loud or offensive.
The jump seats are not currently mounted to the bed, but I do have them as well as the headrests. There are no brackets for the jump-seats but they could be fabricated fairly easily.
This little BRAT runs and drives fantastic and can be driven anywhere. It tracks straight, rides smooth and can keep up with traffic. It also turns heads and gets a LOT of attention!
If you are looking at this ad, you already know how rare it is to find a first generation Subaru BRAT in a nice driver quality condition. | 2019-04-25T06:16:22 | http://subaru.used-classic-car.com/subaru-brat/79976 |
You are here: Home / Noodles / Pasta primavera… with fresh tuna!
Pasta primavera… with fresh tuna!
“Primavera” refers to a Central American hardwood tree with tubular yellow flowers or to the season of spring. Pasta primavera refers to a variety of light pasta dishes that are cooked with fresh spring vegetables.
There are no hard and fast rules as to what vegetables can be used for making pasta primavera. Personally, I prefer a combination of tomatoes, eggplants, bell peppers and carrots. I also like to add fresh basil because it goes so well with garlic and olive oil. In the past, I often added sardines in jars or canned tuna to what traditionally is a vegetable dish, but never fresh seafood. I never realized the difference it makes. The cubes of fresh tuna retained their shape, added flavor to the dish that did not have that overpowering fishy taste one gets from fish in cans and jars.
Pasta primavera... with fresh tuna!
Cook the pasta to al dente stage. Drain.
Cut the tuna fillets into half-inch to one-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper.
Peel and roughly chop the onion(s).
Peel and thinly slice the carrot.
Split the bell peppers, remove the seeds, cut off the veins then roughly chop.
Cut the eggplant into one-inch cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a large shallow pan (even when cooking pasta, I still find the Oriental wok to be the ideal cooking pan). Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the chopped onion(s) and cook for another 30 seconds. Cook the vegetables by starting with what takes longest to cook. I usually start with the eggplants, then the carrot, the bell peppers and, finally the tomatoes. Just remember not to overcook the vegetables.
Push the vegetables to the sides of the pan and add the cubes of tuna to the hot oil. When the fish changes color, add the basil leaves, stir the fish with the rest of the vegetables and season with salt and lots of freshly ground pepper.
Add the cooked pasta to the pan, toss to distribute the vegetables and coat the noodles with oil.
Wonderful recipe! I made it and my hubby thought it was a takeout! Thank you for sharing.
What is your take on pasta refrigeration? Some say not to store pasta overnight since it has tomato w/c spoils easily…but I wanted to take it for lunch the next day (I made it for dinner the previous night).
We store leftovers, covered with clingfilm. Then, we reheat in the oven, covered with foil.
i made it too, i just used century tuna in water, it was so good, thanks..
Miss connie, i thought i was done with cooking. I am hopeless in the kitchen and i’ve given up for more than a year. I was browsing your pasta recipes and realized they don’t seem so complicated. Lo and behold, i cooked pasta for 3 consecutive nights now (pesto, carbonara, primavera). Succesfully, if i may add. Thank you for reviving my motivation to do homecooked meals!
Ps. Looking forward to more sassylawyer blog entries. | 2019-04-21T03:18:34 | https://casaveneracion.com/pasta-primavera-with-fresh-tuna/ |

Tada! Yesterday the title to the Sherlock Holmes sequel was officially announced: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Cue the creepy music.
Well, it’s a much better title than The Amazing Spider-Man in my opinion. The Sherlock Holmes sequel is shaping up to be a pretty interesting project. The first movie was a surprise hit that solidified Robert Downey Jr his comeback and gave Jude Law’s career quite a boost.
Now, as you might know it is a truth universally acknowledged that any movie making over 50p at box office must have a sequel. So naturally, the sequel was promply announced with Guy Richie back at the helm. So far, I’m optimistic. As long as he brings back the devious humour that made the original such fun. I enjoyed the bromance of the original and am confident that the relationship between Holmes and Watson will be explored further.
With Dragongirl Noomi Rapace onboard it should be an exciting adventure. British gem Stephen Fry also stars as Holmes his estranged brother Mycroft. I have a feeling there won’t be much love lost between the two siblings. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how the brothers get on and how often poor Mycroft gets pushed into harm’s way.
Rachel McAdams is back for a bit part and I hope her costumes will be as fabulous as the first time around. Most of all, I’m curious if Jared Harris as Professor Moriaty will be able to fill Mark Strong’s large shoes. I thought the villain one of the highlights of the first film. It was a very dark and multi-faceted character with a bit of black magic thrown in for extra spice. Enemies are often my favourite characters but in Sherlock Holmes the man himself is equally intriguing and twisted. We’ll have to wait and see how Moriaty will hold up. | 2019-04-19T18:28:10 | https://literaryscribbles.wordpress.com/category/rachel-mcadams/ |

Outcomes vs. Activity is an excellent post that I came across today. In that post Chris Michel talks about the importance of focusing on outcome rather than on the activities. An example from his life with military.com drives home the point.
How true, it's not just in running a company that one needs to know this but also in ones life. For your convenience I reproduce this post from FoundRead.
I am embarrassed to say that it took me 10 years to learn one of the most fundamental pillars of leadership: It is all about outcomes — and not activities. This business truth is simple and obvious, yet, extraordinarily powerful. Unfortunately, it remains strangely elusive for many founders, and most people.
Well, in my experience, I have found that most people tend to confuse activity with outcomes — and it is a breathtakingly expensive mistake. In a world of infinite choices, choosing which activities will occupy your day is likely to be your single greatest driver of effectiveness. Beyond picking the right objectives to pursue, you need to focus on the results, not just the means to that end.
Some people choose wisely and focus on high-impact activities that truly move the needle. Others, however, work the same number of hours without making clear progress toward measurable results. Focusing on what really matters is a difficult-to-achieve skill in our “attention deficit disorder” world. Successful leaders–and, therefore, successful founders–invest the time to clearly identify, prioritize, and communicate key goals. They then measure their success by real progress against those desired outcomes. By focusing on the end results, creative leaders can identify the shortcuts and often achieve those goals with less work.
As we talk about outcomes vs. activity, it is important to nail down the semantics. Outcomes, in this context, means a certain, generally measurable, end result — and one that matters a great deal. Activities, however, are a set of tactics that are used to achieve that outcome. Productivity might then be defined as the value of a certain outcome divided by the cost of the activities used to achieve it — simply put, the return on your investment (ROI).
If this is a bit confusing, that is good. Understanding this confusion is the first step to seeing how easily things can go terribly awry. Because many of us founders are so accomplishment driven, we tend to look at both activities and outcomes as accomplishments. While they both could be achievements, results should almost always be valued well ahead of tactics. A long day at the office often creates the illusion that we are creating value and driving the ball downfield. Ticking off tasks on your to-do list fills you with a sense of accomplishments but did you achieve the end goal? Many of the activities create some benefit, but is it making a tangible difference for the organization? Is it the most effective use of your time? Often, the answer is no and, unfortunately, few people are aware of it.
I learned this valuable lesson when I founded my first start-up, Military.com. In late 1999, we raised a good deal of venture capital, hired rapidly, and set to work at building the definitive portal for the 30 million members of the military community. In just a few short months, we had over 50 employees and were working non-stop on product development, marketing, hiring, brand strategy, user-testing, public relations – all the things a “dot-com darling” was supposed to do. The activity level could not have been higher.
As many of you know, the world came crashing down in the spring of 2000 when the bubble burst. The next two years were exceedingly difficult – layoffs, hurt feelings, and an overwhelming sense of foreboding that we would likely lose the company. In 2002, we were down to just four weeks of cash and about ten employees. It was during this most difficult period that we had little choice but to focus on absolutely the most critical element of corporate life support – cash flow from operations.
Against all odds, we were able to drive the company to profitability with less than two weeks of cash in the bank. And in that moment, I realized that our DNA had changed forever…and we would never again confuse outcomes with activities.
When forced to make difficult tradeoffs in an exceptionally constrained environment, good leaders focus only on those things that matter. *The pressurization of Military.com leadership forced me to choose only those activities that drove key outcomes: cash-flow, membership growth, and monetization. As I reflect over both those experiences, I realize that I had confused being busy — lots of activity — with accomplishing something of value. Today, Military.com has over 9 million members and has delivered double digit profit and revenue growth since those dark days in our history. In 2004, I sold the company to Monster Worldwide (Nasdaq: MNST).
Defending yourself against the myopia of task saturation requires a bit of planning. Defining key outcomes is the first step to getting back on the road to productivity and effectiveness. Are the results that we hope to achieve measurable and meaningful? Can we assign dates to deliveries? What are the key measures of success and an appropriate sampling rate? Successful practitioners focus on the goal despite the forest of tasks, distractions, and nice-to-do activities.
Once founders begin to assess their team against key measures, they are often surprised to see how quickly they can create a results-driven culture. In that kind of enlightened organization, it’s about ownership, trust, accountability — and not about hours worked. | 2019-04-21T04:19:30 | http://sodidi.ramjeeganti.com/2007/06/outcome-vs-activity-not-just-for.html |

Beginning in November and running through early March, Middle School students have the option of participating in a Theatre Arts elective, provided in conjunction with the Brightest Star School of Performing Arts.
Students may audition for roles or choose to work behind the scenes. No previous experience required! The program is structured so that participants work towards a common goal, engaging in creative problem-solving and group decision making, and increasing self esteem and building communication and interpersonal skills. This program culminates in a stage performance that gives students an opportunity to perform for the entire school community. The stage performances are held at the Bickford Theatre at the Morris Museum, located in Morristown. Shows that have been performed in recent years include, Seussical, Annie, Guys & Dolls, Fiddler of the Roof, and Peter Pan.

The use of high-tech reproductive technologies to have children is widely practiced today in the United States. While state statutes regulate this industry to some extent, this field is largely self-governed, and disputes between individuals are usually resolved through the courts; In my thesis, I examine the inadequacy of public policy formation in the three more controversial areas of assisted reproduction: artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, and surrogate motherhood. Policy-making is mostly done indirectly and haphazardly through the courts and some state and federal legislation. There has been no organized national dialogue; I recommend that moral consensus be sought on this issue through the formation of a national commission to study the current practice of assisted reproduction and to make recommendations for regulation, legislation, or further studies. The goal is to help build consensus on this important issue.
