Ulysse Nardin has been shipping its GMT-enabled Dual Time watches for quite a while now and they seem to enjoy quite good sales if the model is reborn year after year trying to satisfy different tastes and budgets. However, this new dressy Ulysse Nardin Dual Time Manufacture radically differs from previous iterations. The difference, of course, is not limited to just styling of its case and dial: while its numerous predecessors were equipped with Caliber UN-24, which is basically an inexpensive ETA 2892-A2 movement with an add-on module, this particular timekeeper that was presented at Baselworld 2014 trade show is equipped with their own UN-334 Manufacture mechanism. As the name implies, the movement is crafted solely in-house.\nFrankly, it surprises me a little that it is only now that the Swiss brand (one of the very few Swiss-based watchmakers that stay in this business for more than 150 years) decided to equip one of its most attractive “affordable” watches with an in-house mechanism: for the last couple of years there has been a growing trend among makers of premium timekeepers to gradually faze-out third-party movements by replacing them with calibers made (at least technically) on their own premises.\nMaking your own movement, especially when it comes to watches that cost less than €20,000 in steel bodies, is clearly less profitable than just getting a mass-produced engine and make some cosmetic changes here and there. However, those mass-produced mechanisms actually make selling premium watches more difficult, so we will probably see more in-house mechanisms during the coming years.\nThere are two reasons for this: first, ETA is getting less and less enthusiastic when it comes to selling its mechanism to brands outside of Swatch Group and, second, customers are gradually getting better educated and demand more “value” from watches that often cost more than a Ford Fiesta.\nFrom the ergonomics point of view, the new Ulysse Nardin Dual Time UN-334 Manufacture is the same good old GMT timekeeper that the Swiss brand is selling for years. It still features the same “digital” home time display at 9 o’clock with the “local” time hour hand operated with a pair of push-pieces at 8 and 10 hours that allow to easily synchronize your watch with current time zone without even taking it off the wrist or moving the minute hand: frequent travelers will clearly love this feature.\nAs usual, the big date window at 2 hours is, too, synchronized with the local time and jumps back and forward automatically as you make adjustment as you cross the date line.\nI’ve got an impression that with this new model Ulysse Nardin has made its first step in making its dual-timers less sporty and a bit dressier, perhaps stylistically closer to its Classico collection.\nAs you can see on the photos, the case is almost “classic” now and the dial is a lot more subdued with less prominent hands and a finely executed dial with its sunburst pattern and small applied hour markers. However, the watch is still sporty enough to have a decent amount of lume on its main elements and is easily readable in any lighting conditions. It still looks better with a blazer than a tuxedo.

He looked up to see a cloud of dust moving quickly down the dirt road in his direction. The ground shook harder and harder as it approached until he had to crouch just to keep from falling over.\nIt stopped on the point of the road nearest to him, and when the dust cleared, he saw a dragon bigger than his house. It was covered in a thick layer of road dust, which made it seem all the more real. Stranger than that, shields of every shape and size were strapped over every inch of its body. A belt spanned its waist with a lance in a scabbard, and a huge black cauldron served as a helmet, the handle tucked securely under its chin.\n"Would you kindly direct me to Lord Volpus's hall?" the dragon rumbled in a voice that might have sounded haughty if it weren't accompanied by a deep grumble from the dragon's belly.\n"What business do you have?" Matthew asked, wondering if it would be wrong to give the dragon directions.\n"I am known as Sir Hugh, and I am seeking employment. If I find and slay a dragon my courageous deeds will be told from land to land, and my name will live forever in glory."\nMatthew said nothing; he was unsure what he could say to the towering beast.\n"Well, peasant? I am weary from the road and I long for a bath and a bed before setting out again."\n"But you're a..." The word stuck in his throat. Did the dragon really think it was a knight? Didn't it notice how it towered over Matthew?\n"Yes?" The dragon leaned its head down close to him, and that close, the smell of scorch and rotting meat on its breath made Matthew weak at the knees. Its tongue flicked out, tasting the air between them. The gleam in its eye seemed to say it knew exactly what it was. Matthew could give the dragon directions, knowing that his lord might be killed as a result. But any other action would likely end with Matthew in the dragon's belly. At least Lord Volpus had soldiers to protect him.\n"My lord's keep is that way." He pointed to the west. "A half day's walk as the crow flies."\n"I thank you." The dragon bowed deeply and headed west. Matthew didn't even shout as the beast trampled his crops.\nHe watched unmoving as the dust cloud faded into the distance. After a while he heard running footfalls behind him. That would be Ian, his neighbor.\n"Did you have a strange visitor just now?" Ian panted.\n"Odd fellow. Looking for Lord Volpus, wanting to hunt dragons, he was."\n"Aye. A bit daft, he was. His plan will never work."\nIan chuckled. "Of course it won't. Everyone knows there's no such thing as dragons."\nI'd heard Greg Van Eekhout interviewed on Escape Pod, where he told about a writing exercise he'd done; he asked his friends to give him story triggers and he would write a story for each one. I decided to try it out. "The Quest Unusual" was one of the resulting stories, triggered by the phrase "the unmistakable smell of scorch." I immediately thought of dragons, so the real challenge was to write a dragon story that didn't feel like any other dragon story I'd read.

We find out why women love to hate her.\nWhat is it about you, Ellen Adarna, that splits the world in two? On one hand, men profess their undying love for you while women fawn over your face and imitate your workout regimen. On the other hand, men denounce you in YouTube comments as a "play girl" and "classless," while women repeatedly decry your behavior and beauty.\n"I have received everything that you can imagine," you wrote to me in a thoughtful and light-hearted e-mail. I read through it, Ellen, and I know you said you’re "very much different from the image that people see of me," but I am ready to hate you, too.\nTo state the glaringly obvious, you’re beautiful. Yours is an adaptable, shifting beauty. Across various photo shoots, you’re alternately doe-eyed and devilish, demure or downright incandescent. People steal your personal photos and make fake social network accounts under your name. Facebook is rife with Ellen Adarnas, all these girls—and one boy—hankering for the attention your face commands. They must hate you a little bit for having first and only dibs on that face. "I am so sick and tired of having to explain myself to victims of these fake accounts," you wrote to me. "If I don’t know you in real life, I am not going to be texting or chatting with you." She adds, "And most definitely [I] won’t be asking for money, gifts or PasaLoad."\nAdd that confidence to the fact that you make it no secret that your beauty is a sculpted beauty. No one in show business talks about their breasts so happily, especially after being so nonchalant about having them surgically enhanced. It makes us resent you: the brazen ease of living in a lovely body, and that you embraced the possibility of being made even lovelier, without shame. "Shameless!!!" said a YouTube commenter. I am inclined to agree, but beyond that, I congratulate you—both on that very shamelessness and that perfect bosom.\nThat bosom, by the way, has earned over four million views on a YouTube video that runs for half a minute. You know which one I'm talking about. How dare you appear, in all your glistening glory, at the gym. The gym, of all places, is where women feel most vulnerable. No one goes to the gym and comes out beautiful; we sweat, our hair gets wet and matted, we gulp water and bloat. You, on the other hand, skip rope like an angry ballerina and—braless!—beat the stuffing out of boxing pads. At the end of the too short video, you look even lovelier. Slowed-down high-definition versions of the video have proliferated, claiming that there's a nip slip—happy accident!—to be seen. Is it there? You wouldn’t care.\nThat might be the core of why I can't help but hate you, Ellen. You don't care. Your Instagram account once proclaimed, calmly: "I block the unnecessary." How do you do that? How do you get away with that?\nYou wrote to me: "I think a healthy body gives you clarity." You post a steady stream of photos and videos of you working out, and it's painfully obvious that even with the boon of plastic surgery, your body is a body that you've earned. What absolutely kills lazy ladies like me is that you seem to genuinely enjoy working out. Your discipline is staggering, and your dedication makes me want to kettlebell until the cows come home. A video of you, all 95 pounds of you, pulling off a squat under a barbel almost as heavy as you, is captioned: "Unless you've proven yourself or you are a body-building champion, then I don’t need your chechebureche."\nHealth, however, extends beyond the body. You write: "Working out also keeps me in a good mood because I am able to release all my stress and frustrations and gain great energy." I've read through interviews with you and I come away envious of your story and how self-possessed you are.\nYou say you got to where you are "by accident and luck," with "hard work, the help of good friends and a great team," all of whom you are thankful for. Ellen, you’re where you are because of you. You’ve made no secret of your wild child past: the parties, the drugs, the first boyfriend at the tender age of 13, and it makes me grit my teeth. You are so unafraid of being judged, and you thrive in a spotlight that is powered by the judgment of the masses. You keep no secrets about having worked so hard to get to where you are, having to earn your keep as a kid, and leaving your hometown behind to try to make it in the city within whatever job—call center agent, human resources—would come your way.\nIt’s a fierce independence. I am tempted to call you cocky, but the truth is that you’re not; you’ve simply found your place in the world and you’re occupying it happily. "I am not competitive," you wrote near the end of your e-mail, "because the thought of competition stresses me out. I just like going at my own pace with the people that matter." That’s when I understood that your workouts are also a matter of working out personal issues; you sweat out anything negative that anyone out there could ever comment.\nTo say you are tough or arrogant would be a huge disservice to you and the rest of the women who are watching you. Ellen, you come off as ribald, in-your-face, all-powerful—but that is because we aren’t used to seeing someone so comfortable in her skin, and we aren’t used to hearing someone speak her mind. It’s so easy to hate you, Ellen, because we have never seen anyone quite like you.\n*This article originally appeared in Preview Magazine June 2014.

I have spent a large part of my life inside a circle of school teachers. My mother and father are both retired school teachers (my mom an elementary teacher and my dad a band director). My wife, Lisa, taught school as well both at the elementary level and the high school level. My daughter-in-law is a school teacher and my niece is a school teacher. Obviously, I have been influenced by the world view of educators, I will admit that right up front!\nWith the current battle of public school finance reform in full debate at the Capitol in Austin, it spurred my thinking on what the discussion really boils down to – quality education or efficient use of tax dollars?\nOne side claims that the number one goal is quality education and therefore the amount of tax dollars necessary is not relevant, taxpayers should essentially provide a blank check and let the education system fill in the blanks. The other side argues that too much money is already being spent and in many cases not very efficiently and use examples such as water parks, sports stadiums, and high administrative salaries (relative to teacher salaries).\nQuit arguing over the State’s financial contribution verse local financial contribution. This is a silly argument because there is really only one tax payor in Texas and that is YOU — the individual. Businesses pass their tax on to the consumer through product pricing so in the end, it is you and me as individuals that pay 100% of the taxes. Does it really matter if we pay them locally or through the State? Government lesson 101 – all government revenues are generated due to fees and taxes and all of those are paid by the individual taxpayer, so it is irrelevant if it is coming from your “left pocket” or your “right pocket”.\nThe amount of funding for education DOES matter! If we allocated $0 to education then it is fair to say our education system in Texas would be a disaster. Therefore, we do need to allocate money for public education and the amount of money allocated should be the primary discussion as opposed to from where it comes (see point 1). The way to determine how much money is needed is to start from the bottom up.\nDetermine the amount of money needed in the classroom – mainly the teachers and the principals. What does it take to hire and retain quality educators and what should we expect from them. This has to be the first step – they are the foundation for all education (other than parents but that is another blog for another day).\nWhat services (think administrators, bus drivers, lunchroom, technology, etc) are absolutely needed to support what the teachers are charged with accomplishing – which is educating our children (not raising our children).\nWhat is the most cost-effective way to provide those services? We should absolutely not spend $1 more than is absolutely necessary. Efficiency should be the key when considering support and administrative services.\nOur State constitution says we need to provide an efficient public education for all school-age children in Texas. Our first use of education dollars should be focused on just that – education. If there are monies left over (or provided by the federal government) for additional services that could indirectly benefit the education of our children then it is fine to consider that but ONLY after we provide the adequate funding in the priorities explained in # 2 above.\nMoving all school board and school bond elections to the normal general election day in November will absolutely increase voter participation and make the local elected officials and administrators more accountable to the people they serve. This is government efficiency. This will make those who oversee the largest share of our tax dollars and our most prized assets – our children, communicate loud and clear what they stand for and the needs of the local school district.\nRemove as many unfunded mandates as possible. This interim there should be a committee established by the Governor, Lt Governor and Speaker of the House made up of teachers, administrators, school board trustees, State Reps, and Senators to review the current mandates required by the state to determine which can be eliminated or streamlined.\nMost of the control should be local when it comes to school districts. What is good for education in Muleshoe might not be good for education in Highland Park. The State should have general standards and serve as the guardian of taxpayer dollars but the local citizens should hold the most control of education through the local school boards.\nIn summary, we need to quit arguing over which “pocket” the money is coming from and focus on the amount of money needed in the classroom and then we need to push most of the control and accountability to the citizens that are served by the local school district.

I do not work on this project any longer given that I no more time (job) !\nThe TiGCC/UNIX release is now maintained by Kevin Kofler of the TIGCC team.\nTIGCC has been stopped for a while but it restarted now ! Well, a lot of work has been done: upgrading, clean-up, patch support, added some new tools such as tprbuilder. This release is a full release and can be considered equivalent to the Win32 one.\nA release is available on ticalc.org in the Unix section.\nLinux releases are now in phase with Win32 ones.\nI added on the web site a documentation I have written about the TIGCC Internals.\nThis project aims to develop a 'C' cross-compiler as well as a cross-assembler for the TI89/92+ calculators under Linux. A such compiler already exists under Windows since it has been primarily developped on this platform by the TIGCC Team.\nLater, Henri Moilanen has developed the same compiler under Linux but the project has been stopped for a while.\nRecently, Henri Moilanen asked me to take over the development of the Ti-GCC project (Linux version).\nAs you can see, I have accepted. Thus, I am the new maintainer of this project.\nYou can know more about these TI graphing calculators on ticalc or on the Texas Instruments web site.\n- converting: use the JM's converter which converts m68k COFF file format into TI file format. It replaces the Vassor's converter.\n- front-end: the same as tigcc.exe.\n- building: a tool is included for building TIGCC project (.tpr) files generated by the TIGCC-IDE.\nAbout the IDE: I may develop an IDE for Linux.\n- UNIXes: Solaris, HP-UX, ... are managed by J. David Ratliff (TechnoPlaza).\nNote: the previous release of TIGCC was available for all UNIXes. Unfortunately, this new one works only on Linux/x86 platforms. TIGCC is based on a very important program (the patcher) which has been written in Delphi by S. Reichelt and Kylix produces only x86 code under Linux. This may change but it will require to write a new patcher in 'C' language.\n- TIGCC Internals (a .doc, readable with StarOffice & Word97 & Linux wordreader) : describes the internal mechanisms of TIGCC.\nNote: I have released the packages on ticalc (unix folder) only. My modem bandwidth is too limited (33.6K) and I can not upload them from school (ssh).\nYou can download either the source package, either the binary package.\nThe binary package contains all the necessary tools for compiling C applications.\nThe source package is provided for those who want to recompile TiGCC/Linux.\nIf you want recompile TIGCC/Linux, you will need binutils and gcc-core archives (as well as a lot of disk space and time !!!).\nYou will need Kylix Open Edition too !\nI have adopted the same as those used by TIGCC/Win32.\nThe development branch is hosted on .
Given the upcoming tuna season we decided we should get together and get out for another fish together chasing something bigger than squid… so we decided to take the girls down to meet some of our other second fishing family for the weekend and introduce them to some of the people from Pt MacDonnell! – Another place that is now close to our hearts, thanks to Chucky Tuna!\nRocking up at Causin Havoc, Gary and the southerly fishing charter boys were assuming the position, we were excited to meet Bec and Todd’s new mini edition Evelyn, such a cute little cabbage patch and so tiny.\nAfter watching a couple of weeks of planning and side line training and strategies the new team were a well-oiled trained machine and now all we had to do was put it into practice. Sunday morning saw us up at 5am after a night of card games and a couple of quiet ones, we were up and ready to hit the water especially after the day’s before exciting catches.\nFollowing the bird trail we went … waiting for a hook up, waiting patiently we saw a whale leap out of the water just behind us followed by a dolphin grabbing one of the birds by its tail as we sat there in awe watching what was going on and then we heard the sound we had been waiting to hear… zzzzzzzzzzzoooooo the line was peeling of… all of us just looked at each other and cheered.\nGone….. False alarm …. Devastated we re-set and off we went again following the same trail of birds around, looking for a glimpse of sunlight to hit the water, the heavens opened and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzooooooo we were on again!!! This time well and truly hooked.\nCyclone was on strike, strapped in and ready to go, not knowing what was on the end of the line or the size we were extra careful being our first experience of a potential “ barrel” … an hour later we saw colour, colour, colour we all screamed in excitement.. Gone… back down into the depths.\nAs time passed we all sat there in anticipation for some colour again.. boom colour, putting all our thoughts and sceanrio’s into practice, we were ready!! Bring it on.. Nothing we planned or prepared for happened… but what we did do and are so proud of, we were a team and not just any team, a well-oiled machine… “team justagirl”.\nAnd this was our prize catch… wasn’t in the 100kg class but it prepared us for tomorrow and what may lie before us!! 65kg and a great fish by anyone’s standard!!\nPrevious “Team justagirl’s” new logo unveiled by…. Team Choonachasa’s – Leo Miller!

Today's organizations conduct business in ways that were not even thought of 10 years ago. This DVD will help learners gain an awareness of what is or is not ethical in relevant business situations, especially in today's new global marketplace.\nEver since the global economic recession began in 2008 -- how businesses achieve their strategic objectives has continued to change: increased competition, globalization, changing technologies, emerging markets, social networking, mergers and acquisitions.

At the conclusion of this training the viewer should have an understanding of and be better equipped to handle: increased competition, achieving business objectives such as sales and profits, dealing with business ethics issues with management and coping with business ethics issues in technology and social media.

Naples’ Gardner Colby Gallery represents roughly four dozen artists whose works span a wide range of genres and mediums. On Thursday, March 14, Kim English, Stan Moeller, Lesley Rich and Robin Cheers will represent the gallery in its final show of the season, A Slice of Life.\nEven the mundane becomes magical when interpreted by the likes of English, Moeller, Rich and Cheers. For example, English focuses on people cheerfully performing everyday tasks, yet his palette and motifs have a Tahitian flavor, a’ la Gauguin. A Kim English oil painting is immediately identifiable because of his distinctive, signature use of light and chiaroscuro and depictions of a slice of everyday life.\nWhether painting Italian lanscapes or exploring figurative themes, gifted impressionist Stan Moeller produces works that are kinetic, dynamic, enigmatic and alluring. Wife and sometimes model Tammy Moeller characterizes her husband’s figurative paintings as tantamount to “stealing a little bit of the model’s soul.” Less concerned with technical reality, Moeller chooses instead to use spontaneous brushwork and vibrant color to capture the way light moves around a figure or an object in his oil paintings.\nRich is truer to Impressionism than most painters today who call themselves impressionists. Her new work not only studies the effects of bright sunlight on color, but the treatment of bodies in motion en plein aire. Lesley’s richly textured oil paintings are a reflection of her personality: vibrant, spontaneous, energetic and sometimes, irreverent. They are pleasurable and easy to live with.\nGardner Colby Gallery has two locations straddling Gallery Row. Gardner Colby I is located on the south side of the street at 386 Broad Avenue South, next to Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. It is readily identified both by that mango orange canopy supported by two slender white columns and by metal sculptor Tim Brown’s 12-foot tall Red Ring Juggler, which seems to be greeting guests with a festive aspect as they enter the gallery.\nGardner Colby Gallery II is located across the street at 365 Broad Avenue South. It abuts Marianne Friedland Gallery, Gallery Row’s bastion of modern art, and is just steps west of Galerie du Soleil with its potted bougainvillea and white Marton Varo sculpture which greets motorists who enter the Third Street South gallery district via Gallery Row.\nThe gallery can be reached at 239-403-7787 or online at http//:www.gardnercolbygallery.com.
Has anyone seen the popular hot sauce commercials with the sweet old grandma who proclaims, upon seeing her favorite hot sauce brand, “I put that sh*t on everything!”?\nWell, that’s me! Minus the grey hair and granny glasses! I LOVE hot sauce and I really do put it on everything.\nHave you ever tried hot sauce on a mango? Delicious! Seriously! If you’ve never tried it, do yourself a “flavor” and give it a whirl.\nRecently, I tried Sriracha for the first time. I know, I know, as a proclaimed “hot sauce lover,” I was late to the Sriracha party, but boy am I glad I finally got my invitation. Sriracha seems to have just the right balance of spice and sweetness and it pairs nicely with most meats (if you eat meat).\nSince discovering the wonder that is Sriracha, I’ve started to put it on grilled tofu. Serve that up with a little rice and beans and you’ve got a stellar dish that is full of flavor.\nSalsa verde – I ask you, “How can anyone go wrong with a mixture of roasted tomatillos, jalapenos, lime, and cilantro?” Salsa verde has a flavor that is smoother and I find, more refreshing, than traditional salsa. My favorite brand just happens to be Trader Joe’s, which I could really just eat from the jar with a spoon. Need a quick week-night dinner? Grab a fully-cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, mix it with a jar of salsa verde, a small can of diced tomatoes, and a box of chicken broth. Let it simmer about a half hour and you’ve got a delicious Mexican chicken soup.\nJerk sauce – My mom used to cook amazing Jamaican food at home and jerk sauce was always the key ingredient. Scotch bonnet peppers are the main ingredient that give jerk sauce it’s “heat” and it pairs nicely with other sweeter spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, usually found in baking. Jerk sauce is terrific on fish and shrimp, and certainly can be used on poultry or pork. Not a meat-eater? Me neither! I make a lovely jerk-flavored seitan with peppers. Just cook your seitan with some diced tomatoes, a small can of tomato paste, some jerk sauce and sliced onions and peppers. Serve over rice, or use it to fill a hearty, crusty roll for a spectacular sandwich.\nIndian curry – Indian curry boasts one of my all-time favorite ingredients – Turmeric – which has been shown to be quite effective in relieving the pain of arthritis. Indian curry is wonderful with meats or meat substitutes and can also take a sometimes boring grain like rice and make it a rock star on your plate. For a quick meal, I cook a package of rice noodles and mix them with a bag of frozen snap peas and a jar of Indian curry sauce. Three ingredients and an explosion of flavors!\nWell, there you go…Whew…I think I need to cool down. Maybe a nice glass of ice water will do the trick? And later…definitely a mango with hot sauce. Seriously, you gotta try it!\nBe nice to yourself, take care of yourself, and be well. And until next time – veg in, don’t veg out!
For some time talking about ubuntu on smartphones, but what many do not know is that this is not simply a shift of the PC operating system on mobile devices, but an OS designed especially for mobile devices.\nThis is to be glad that you will get a new OS is no longer based on the use of buttons but more on gesture and voice commands.\nUbuntu will be able to support both native applications is the so-called web app, it is working in the new app store. With regard to the gesture it is thought that in this way it frees the screen from the buttons that are therefore useless if these are implemented in an appropriate manner, maybe also becomes more convenient display all the applications by sliding your finger from left to right, open the latest app by simply browsing from right to left, or maybe from the bottom up to show the controls of the app.\nThere will be, at least according to current news, a smartphone created for Ubuntu, but it will be supported by certain smartphones who meet the minimum requirements, which more or less will be met by all new Android smartphones and some current smartphone.\nSo it seems that ubuntu on smartphones will bring about real change, even revolutionary, maybe a flop, in any case it is an interesting attempt to change the way you use your smartphone.
Full-grown Ocean Dragons are often mistaken for whales at sea, with their flattened tails and striated underbelly that resembles a blue whale. However, once their glowing lure comes into view, it becomes clear this is no ordinary sea creature. The Ocean Dragon is unique in that it has evolved gills to breathe in its marine habitat. It dives to great depths, using its lure to navigate in the pitch black deep sea. Baby Ocean Dragons also follow their mothers in the darkness by using their lures.\nApproximate size in inches: 5.98 L x 4.06 W x 5.63 H.
Although many award shows still feature cringe-worthy “what’s in her bag?!” segments and focus on designer labels instead of a woman’s accomplishments, there is always a silver lining to be found amongst a sea of gray dresses. Instead of succumbing to questions about how excited our favorite celebs were to kiss their hunky costars or if they miss being at home with their kids while touring with their bands, the few, the proud, and the feminist have made moves at award shows that would have Rosie the Riveter herself saying “We did it!” In honor of award show season being just around the corner, we’ve rounded up our 13 favorite feminist award show moments.\nTina Fey and Amy Poehler are your #bffgoals. Not only are the two hilarious, but their friendship is supportive, nurturing, and long-lasting. The pair has hosted the Golden Globes twice. Not only did the two shine on the award stage, but they use their hosting duties as an opportunity to point out Hollywood’s double standards during their monologues.\n“The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity. You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there.” Women of color are grossly underrepresented in Hollywood, and although we have a few champions we rally behind, such as Viola Davis and Kerry Washington, there is still such a long, long way to go before minority women are accurately portrayed in American media.\nWhether you call them her squad or group of besties, T-Swift has proven time and time again that there are no better people to celebrate with than your ride-or-die girlfriends.\n7. ...Kathryn Bigelow's Best Director Oscar win..\nAs of 2014, only 7% of directors are women. And before 2010, none of those women had ever won an Oscar. Kathryn Bigelow changed all that with her directing of The Hurt Locker, a 2008 film about a bomb squad in Baghdad.\nCan we all agree it’s time to vote ‘Yonce into presidential office? During yet another killer live performance, Beyoncé slayed the stage while singing “Flawless” at the 2014 VMAs. Although Queen Bey’s killer dance moves and crazy singing skills are nothing new, incorporating feminist calls to action from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie blew the mind of anyone and everyone watching, “Feminist: a person who believe in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes.” Reclaiming what was once a taboo word, Beyoncé helped bring the term “feminist” back into the collective vernacular.\nIt’s insane that we live in a time in which women can still be paid less than their male counterparts for doing the same amount of work, but that’s the reality of gender-inequality in America. During her 2015 Oscar acceptance speech, Patricia Arquette took her moment in the spotlight to call attention to this harrowing fact, and the crowd went wild — because it’s something that needs to be discussed. The more transparent we are about pay gaps, the more we can fight to make a change.\nBecause women need to stand together, not tear each other down.\n11. ...and Lupita Nyong'o's heartwarming Oscar win.\nHer acceptance speech is much like any other, exasperated and excited. However, Lupita chooses to end her speech with this sentiment, “No matter where you’re from, your dreams are valid.” A universal message to people of every gender and color that no matter who you are, or what your dreams may be, you can achieve them — and at the end of the day, that is what feminism is all about.

I'm new to Crew Chief, I've only just installed it for use with iRacing.\nI have to say installation was pretty painless, updated everything and installed the Microsoft Speech runtimes to get it working.\nI do however have a question.\nIs it possible to select what device the audio is output on? Or does it just default to the Windows Default device?\nI only ask as I'd like my PC to use the built in soundcard, but have Crew Chief use my Logitech headset for output, as I do for all the audio output and communication in iRacing.\nI've currently had to set the PC to default to the headset, and it would be nice not to have to keep switching back and forth when not in Sim.\nTo my knowledge from my installation, you have to stick with default. I tried in Iracing different combinations but that did not work. Some games give you the option separate sounds.\nRun the app, Right click your speaker icon in the tray and click "Open Sound settings", in the righthand side of the window there is something "App volume and device settings" click that as well, here windows lets you select both output device and input device pr app.\nThanks Sparten, I found that on my own eventually, although for some reason when I first set Crew Chief to use my headset it screwed up all the sounds, and I had to reboot to get the sound back in iRacing.\nHowever, I've got it all sorted now and it's working fine.\nYouth and exuberance are all very well, but I believe that once you remove luck, old age and treachery will always kick it's arse and send it home to mummy, crying.\nScratch that, it does not consistently play on the headset, even though it's set to in the sound settings ... weird.\nI have tried to do this through Windows 10 settings with the output going to headset, and the background noise comes in through the headset, but the crew chief and spotter radio checks still go through speakers.\nYep had this exact same issue today myself, seems to be related to windows update witch also broke other things on my system, anyways an option to reset apps back to default device on that same page clicking that fixed this issue for me.\nCurrent situation for me is that when I first run Crew Chief after turning my PC on, I have to change the main windows sound settings to the headset, then back to the soundcard for Crew Chief to use the headset.\nI am not sure what happened, but today I had my headset off and on my desk. I started the crew chief app, getting ready to run iRacing and it asked to update, so I did. When it updated and I started the app, the radio check came out of my headset. I was very happy, thinking maybe an update fixed the issue I was having. I played for a few hours and the crewchief was working as desired entirely out of the headset. I took a break and closed all open applications. Upon starting CC back up, it is back to how it was before with background noise in the headset and crewchief and spotter out of the speakers. Oh well. I will figure this thing out eventually!\nRexy, I just tried your workaround and it works for me. Changing audio to headset, then back to speakers makes CC work entirely out of the headset. I may have to get that setup in nircmd so I can just doubleclick an icon on my destkop to make this work on demand. Thanks for the tip Rexy.
Students in FASH455 were excited to have Laurie Sutandar, Vice President of U.S. Sourcing, JCPenney Corporation join the class as a guest speaker. Based on her 30+ years of experiences as sourcing executive, Laurie shared her insightful observations and first-hand stories of U.S. fashion apparel companies’ sourcing models, the selection of sourcing destination, emerging sourcing trends, and the impact of trade policy on the future landscape of apparel sourcing. Laurie also shared her valuable advice about sourcing-related career preparations.\nStudents in FASH455 had a unique opportunity hearing from Bill Jackson, Assistant U.S. Trade Representative for Textiles (2016—present) about the textile and apparel provisions in NAFTA 2.0 (or newly called the US-Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement, USMCA). As the top U.S. trade official for textile and apparel issues, Bill is responsible for conducting and overseeing negotiations affecting textile and apparel products, advising the U.S. Trade Representative on textile and apparel trade policy matters, and working to expand the industry’s access to foreign markets. He was the lead U.S. negotiator on market access for textiles and apparel during the last several months of the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement negotiations in 2015. Mr. Jackson served as Deputy Assistant U.S. Trade Representative for the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) trade preference program from 2010 to 2016 and Director for African Affairs at the U.S. Trade Representative Office (USTR) from 2002 to 2010, during which he worked on a wide variety of U.S.-African trade and investment issues, including administration of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) trade preference program.\nStudents in FASH455 had an exciting live discussion on the NAFTA renegotiation and the U.S. textile and apparel industry with Joshua Teitelbaum, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Textiles (2014-2016). While serving as one of the top U.S. trade policymakers for the textile and apparel industry in the Obama Administration, Mr. Teitelbaum made substantial contributions to the development of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), and the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP), among other multilateral, regional and bilateral trade initiatives. Mr. Teitelbaum also served as the chairman of the Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (CITA), which supervises the negotiation and implementation of U.S. textile trade agreements. Mr. Teitelbaum received his J.D. from The George Washington University Law School in 2008 and his B.S. from Cornell University in 2005.\nDuring the event, Mr. Teitelbaum shared his insightful views about the Trump Administration’s motivation of launching the NAFTA renegotiation, the debate on the yarn-forward rules of origin and exceptions (e.g., tariff preference level) and the industry implications of rejoining the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).\nStudents were excited to have Nate Herman, Senior Vice President of the American Apparel and Footwear Association (AAFA) as a guest speaker for FASH455. Nate Herman oversees AAFA’s government relations department, managing the association’s trade policy, and regulatory affairs activities. Nate leads AAFA’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) program, formulating and implementing CSR policy and representing AAFA and the industry on CSR issues before governments, NGOs, and other key stakeholders. Nate also leads the association’s work on sustainability, transportation, logistics, and customs issues. In addition, Nate develops all apparel and footwear industry data and statistics as AAFA’s resident economist. Prior to joining AAFA, Nate worked for six years at the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration assisting U.S. firms in entering the global market. Nate spent the last two years as the Department’s industry analyst for the footwear and travel goods industries.\nDuring the event, Nate shared with his insightful views of the global nature of today’s apparel industry, U.S. fashion brands and apparel retailers’ sourcing strategy and critical trade policy issues that matter significantly to the apparel sector, including tariff barriers, NAFTA renegotiation, renewal of the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) and implications of the 232 trade investigation.\nThe FASH455 class had an exciting dialogue with Erin Ennis, Senior Vice President of the US-China Business Council (USCBC) on international trade and the US-China trade relations. Erin Ennis has been Senior Vice President of USCBC since February 2015, after serving as Vice President since 2005. In that position, she directs USCBC’s government affairs and advocacy work for member companies and oversees USCBC’s Business Advisory Services. Before joining USCBC, Ms. Ennis worked at Kissinger McLarty Associates, the international consulting firm headed by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and former White House Chief of Staff Thomas “Mack” McLarty.

Through case study, students have the chance to apply what they’ve learnt in the lectures into thinking and solving real-world problems. Case study also improves students’ skills in critical thinking, oral presentation, writing as well as working in teams. In general, each case study includes three inter-connected learning activities: written case analysis (individual work by students), small group discussion (5-6 students/group) and plenary case discussion (whole class) led by the instructor. Special thanks to the Center for Teaching and Assessment of Learning at the University of Delaware for funding the trip to attend the Harvard Business School Case Teaching Method Training Seminar in March 2016.\nPresident Obama launched the National Export Initiative (NEI) in late 2009 which intends to double the U.S. export over the following five years. The U.S. textile and apparel industries both welcome the initiative and play important roles contributing to the reaching of the goal.\nIn this context, students play the role of export promotion specialists for the Office of Textiles and Apparel (OTEXA) under the U.S. Department of Commerce. In the form of teamwork, each group focuses on a specific foreign country and evaluates its potentials as an export market for U.S.-made textile & apparel. Market assessment is based on studying secondary sources (such as UN COMTRADE database, OTEXA tariff database, industry publications, consulting & research papers, etc) and in-depth interviews with 1-2 international students/scholars originating from the examined country. Four aspects are specifically evaluated: 1) economy and market; 2) trade patterns; 3) business culture and 4) market-access related policy.\nAt the end of the semester, students present their findings & export recommendations both orally and in the written report.\nHelp student recognize the importance of textiles & apparel (T&A) industry in today’s global economy and its unique economic, social and political contributions to major economies around the world.\nEnhance students’ knowledge about major emerging markets in the world and inspire their critical thinking on the potential business opportunities for U.S. T&A companies in these markets as well as unique market access challenges.\nRaise students’ awareness of ethnic and cultural diversity in the world and prepare them for global citizenship in the 21st century.\nImprove students’ market research, information collection and data analysis skills.\nEnhance students’ teamwork, leadership and presenting skills.

“Floating Into The Night” is the 1989 debut album by vocalist Julee Cruise featuring songs written and produced by composer Angelo Badalamenti and film director David Lynch. The songs "Falling" and "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart" were both featured in Lynch's cult television series Twin Peaks, while "Into the Night", "The Nightingale" and "The World Spins" also appeared in the show. The instrumental version of “Falling” was the theme song for Twin Peaks while the album as a whole is almost an unofficial soundtrack to the series. The track “Mysteries Of Love” was prominently featured in Lynch’s classic film Blue Velvet. Cruise’s dreamy, light vocals match perfectly with the music and lyrics to make this album sound like it is unattached to any era.

The Parish of North Bute was created in 1835 out of the northern area of the Parish of Rothesay (The High Kirk) and gained full independence in 1844. The first church building was erected at Croc-an-Raer and was dedicated as St Colmac in 1836, but was correctly known as North Bute Kirk until the union in 1929 when its name was changed to North Bute : St Colmac’s Parish Church. No longer in use and roofless, this building still stands within the old North Bute cemetery.\nFollowing the Disruption of 1843, North Bute Free Kirk was formed, and in 1879 a church building was opened in Port Bannatyne. After the union of the Free Kirk with the United Presbyterian Kirk in 1900 the congregation became known as North Bute United Free Kirk. With the union of the United Free Kirk and the Old Parish Kirk in 1929, the congregation took the name Port Bannatyne St Bruoc’s.\nBy 1884 the villages of Ardbeg and Port Bannatyne had grown large enough to justify a new church, there being no Church of Scotland kirk nearer than Croc-an-Raer. St Ninian’s (seen below) was therefore built and was ready for dedication on 25th July 1886.\nSt Bruoc’s Church was destroyed by fire in 1956 and on the 2nd September 1956 a new united congregation was formed with the union of North Bute (St Colmac’s and St Ninian’s) and Port Bannatyne St Bruoc’s. The new congregation was called North Bute Parish Church. When in 1980 St Colmac’s closed, St Ninian’s became the sole church in the north of the island. It continued to be used as a place of worship by the United Church of Bute until 2007 when it was sold for residential use.\nThe St Ninian’s Church building was designed by William F McGibbon and completed in 1886. There is an ‘Early Decorated’ feel to the building, formerly a three bay gothic church, with an offset, 33m high, square bell tower. The tower is crested in finials and stepping parapets, both dramatic and bold. A plain but dignified aisled nave church, it has Romanesque columns supporting the pointed arch arcaded aisles, which lend solidity to its height.
I recently finished a book called Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously. It was written by a woman named Julie Powell (Amherst graduate, holler) who gave herself one year to make every single recipe in Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume 1. Just so we’re clear, that’s 524 recipes. In 365 days. I won’t ruin the book by telling you exactly what happens to Ms. Powell over the course of the year, but I will say that the result of such an ambitious project involves aspic, sautéed kidneys, bone marrow sauce… and Potage Parmentier.\nBecause it is. Délicieux! And, most importantly, it’s easy. Julia Child herself called Potage Parmentier “simplicity itself to make.” Amen to that, JC. All it takes is some peeling and chopping, and then everything gets thrown into a big pot (and if you have a roommate like mine who is an expert potato peeler, all the better). We made the Potageon Saturday, before Andy, Alyssa, and Sadie came over for dinner.\nAt first, peeling and chopping and boiling away, I was excited. So quick! So easy! I even threw a rind of parmesan cheese into the simmering pot to liven up the soup’s flavor. But then, after some immersion blending, I started to doubt myself. The puréed soup looked unappetizing. The color was a light-yellowish-beige, and the whole thing smelled less than slurp-worthy. It just seemed sort of… eh.\nI needn’t have worried. My brave dinner guests took hot bowls of soup, topped with a splash of cream, crispy pancetta, and fresh chives, and sat down at the table. After many precautionary announcements detailing the quickness with which I could get pizza delivered, if necessary, we all picked up our spoons.\n(which should really be called “death by chocolate cookies,” but that’s a whole other post), I’m surprised I didn’t black out entirely.\nIn any case, it seems I was able to snap only a few blurry photos of the evening. Mostly empty bowls, as it turns out. Well played, Mrs. Childs… well played.\nThough it doesn’t call for many ingredients, this soup is hearty and filling. To cut the richness, you could omit adding the cream at the end (though, really, this wouldn’t be something I endorse). The parmesan rind adds a round nuttiness to the flavor of the soup, which pairs nicely with the topping of crisp, smoky pancetta. If I had a food mill, I’d use it instead of a blender to purée the Potage. The result would be a slightly thicker-textured soup, which I prefer. But, to each her own – purée away, if you’re so inclined (or if your kitchen lacks certain food milling appliances). Either way, reheated leftovers make deliciously satisfying lunches and weeknight dinners. Even without leftover chocolate cookies for dessert.\nCombine the potatoes, leeks, and onions in a large stock pot. Add chicken stock (or water) to cover the veggies with an extra inch or two of liquid. Add the salt, cover, and bring to a boil.\nLower the heat to bring the mixture to a simmer, and add the parmesan cheese rind. Simmer, covered, for 40-50 minutes.\nRemove the parmesan rind from the soup (it will be very soft and melty), and let the mixture cool slightly before puréeing to desired texture (using an immersion blender, regular blender or evasive food mill). Add more salt and some pepper to taste. Reheat over a low flame until ready to serve.\nWhile the soup is reheating, toss the chopped pancetta in a large frying pan and sautée until crispy. Drain over paper towels.\nOff the heat and just before serving, stir in cream by spoonfuls (I let my dinner-mates add the cream to their own bowls – it’s fun and doesn’t let you under- or overdo it). Top with some crisp pancetta and chives. Slurps, I mean, serves 6-8.\nFirst, no one did Julia Child like John Belushi. And, second, are there any death by chocolate cookies left?

Around 200,000 interest-only mortgages are due to mature between now and 2020, figures from UK Finance show.\nThe number of borrowers on the deals has fallen over the past six years, according to the trade body.\nHowever, there are still significant numbers of borrowers coming to the end of their interest-only deal over the next year or so.\nOverall there are 1.7m outstanding interest-only mortgages, including partial interest-only, a fall of 46% since 2012.\nThe total value of the interest-only mortgage book now stands at £250bn, down 37% over the same period.\nAround one in ten interest-only loans are at loan to value of 75% or higher, down from more than one in three in 2012.\nEngaging interest-only borrowers who are coming to the end of deals remains a challenge, UK Finance said.\nBut added that there is evidence that lenders are seeing greater success with contact, and of the borrowers who do engage most have repayment plans in place.\nJackie Bennett, director of mortgages at UK Finance, said: “The number of outstanding interest-only loans has halved in the past six years, with a particularly steep decline in higher loan-to-value mortgages.\n“Many borrowers continue to redeem ahead of schedule or switch to a repayment mortgage.\n“However, there remains plenty more work to do over the coming years to ensure that those remaining borrowers who have so far been reluctant to engage have viable repayment plans in place.\n“We continue to encourage all borrowers with interest-only mortgages to contact their lender as soon as possible, as the sooner they do so the more options will be available.\nJonathan Harris, director of mortgage broker Anderson Harris, added: “Following the extravagant lending policies of the early 2000s, there was a backlash against interest only following the credit crunch.\n“As lenders pulled out of the market, this sentiment was reinforced by the Mortgage Market Review in 2014.\n“The FCA provided guidance on responsible lending, one major aspect of which was the need to have a viable repayment strategy in place for interest-only loans.\n“These factors have driven down volumes of interest-only lending.

Artisan producers have built their businesses on supreme luxury, from leather shoes to sofas. Often, they are family businesses, where style and crafts have been handed down through the generations. Like the beautiful fabrics made by Italian mills for designer clothing and furnishings. Even if the top brands are out of your price range they can act as an inspiration and source of ideas when creating the look for your own home interior.\nItaly is famous for its luxury brands. Ferrari and Maserati cars as well as Valentino, Versace, Gucci, and Prada. If you can afford these, then you may also love pieces in your own home by famous interior designers.\nSome of Italy’s most renowned catwalk brands have expanded into homeware and furniture.\nAs Milan is the design capital of Italy, this is where many Interior designers are based. Even some of Italy’s most renowned catwalk brands have expanded into homeware and furniture. One of the most notable is Missoni with its colourful zigzag design fabrics. More recently, Gucci have created Gucci Décor collection featuring bees, tigers, moths and snakes hand-printed on porcelain, candles, French screens, silk wallpapers or embroidered on cushions.\nOther famous furniture brands include Fornasetti, Marioni, Casamilano, Opera Contemporary and SELVA. Made in Italy furniture has earnt a name for itself because of its high-quality materials and design.\nReady to check out some Italian areas and properties? Get your free Italian Viewing Trip Guide today.\nThe Salone del Mobile in Milan, is an important event for furniture and design companies. Every April the Milanese exhibition centre is turned into an international design centre with more than 370,000 people attending, from around 188 different countries.\nThe Salone Internazionale del Mobile is split into three style categories. Classic draws on the values of tradition, craftsmanship and skill in the art of making furniture and objects in the classic style. Design are products that demonstrate functionality, innovation and a great sense of style. XLux is the section devoted to timeless luxury re-read in a contemporary way.\nAs well as furniture and lighting, the International Furnishing Accessories Exhibition displays a wide variety of products, such as cushions, rugs, tapestries, sculptures, ceramics, stone objects, paintings and curtains. All of Milan gets involved, with thousands of tourists, students and enthusiasts also visiting the Fuorisalone exhibitions and events in the various Design Districts of the city.\nIn the Brera Design District the theme in 2019 was “Design your life” inspired by a book by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. They say: “If we adopted a design approach even in everyday choices, we would probably be happier and less stressed.” Every Italian home I have visited has that warm relaxed feel to it, ready to welcome friends and family at any time.\nMany Italian properties are more than just a group of box shaped rooms. They have architectural features that give character, strength and warmth. These features might include exposed wooden beams, stone vaulted ceilings, arches, columns, fireplaces and frescoes.\nAs Italian homes are often passed down through the family, they are more inclined to invest money in quality furniture, lighting, paintings and ornaments.\nThose who have a period property usually furnish it with antiques, grand curtains and paintings that reflect the traditional style. As Italian homes are often passed down through the family, they are more inclined to invest money in quality furniture, lighting, paintings and ornaments.\nI have been inside the town houses of elderly Italians and felt like I have stepped back in time. These palazzo houses look like palaces inside, with marble floors, frescoed ceilings, antique wooden furniture, statues and large gold framed paintings. They also love wall cabinets, sideboards and dressers, where they can display their silver and china ornaments. Glass topped display coffee tables also seem to a be a thing, where they put small ornaments given to them at First Communion parties.\nCurtains, blinds and shutters are very important to block out the heat of the summer.\nCurtains, blinds and shutters are very important to block out the heat of the summer. When they are open, however, they should also frame the view without distracting from it, using colours that compliment the vista.\nPositioning of furniture is often dictated by existing features such as fireplaces and doorways. In our own kitchen we have a star vaulted ceiling that comes down low in three corners of the room and the other corner has a fireplace. This makes it impossible to have any wall cupboards, so we have a dresser top and some shelving.\nA problem with old stone walls and floors is they are never level in any direction, so trying to attach tiles and kitchen cupboards to them can be a challenge. In many cases free standing cupboards are the only solution. You can always cover the uneven gap at the back of the worktop with a strip of wood.\nMake sure you get the best possible mortgage for your property by talking to your recommended Italian mortgage specialist.\nAs Italian homes are generally designed to keep the sun out, indoor plants don’t do very well. Yet, Italian women love flowers, so they will have huge displays of very real looking artificial flowers. I saw one display last week, in a hallway, that was as big as a wardrobe. If the family have children they may even paint branches white and stand them in a large pot and decorate it to go with the season. For example, I’ve seen Easter eggs, Christmas bows and white fairy lights. Most homes will have a covered outdoor area where you can put pot plants. Whether it’s a roof terrace, veranda, courtyard, or balcony, these outside areas are often an extension to the living area and are also nicely furnished.\nThe flooring may at first seem cold to the British, who are used to wall to wall carpets, but in the winter months Italians will use large rugs, that also add interest and colour. No expense is spared on flooring in Italian homes. Once it is down it is there forever. Solid wood, parquet, terracotta bricks, stone and marble are all popular. As these are all very solid materials, a cheap bit of vinyl or a melamine cupboard would really look out of place here. Furniture in solid wood with some stone or ironwork works best.\nAs young Italians usually live in city apartments, this is where you will find the ultra-modern interiors. Young Italians generally love a sleek and shiny look with curves. All white is popular, with a splash of colour on cushions and artwork. I’ve seen kitchens with ultra-glossy cupboard doors in white or a deep red wine colour.\nFor the modern Italian, less-is-more. A few quality designer elements can stand out beautifully in an otherwise plain room.\nEven in older properties they still manage to combine old and new, by choosing modern furniture and fittings that are well made and blend in with the colour scheme. This often means white, beige, wood shades or a terracotta red. A recent trend is for grey patterned hexagonal floor tiles, with various designs mixed randomly. Glass table tops on metal legs are also popular, as well as metal Monoblock shelving.\nFor the modern Italian, less-is-more. A few quality designer elements can stand out beautifully in an otherwise plain room. Beautiful hand-painted ceramics, sumptuous silk cushions, modern art and rugs in bold colours complete the look and reflect the personality of the owner.\nConsidering it’s Nonna who, more often than not, does the cooking for the family, she always seems to have the smallest kitchen. But then she does like to have everything close at hand. A more recent trend in small kitchens is to have a “Boiserie”, a wooden back panel between the base units and top cupboards, that can have shelves and hooks attached to it. However, Italian families are now beginning to insist on larger kitchens to allow room for electrical gadgets like coffee makers and juicers.\nPeninsulas dividing the kitchen from the dining area have also become popular. Another lovely modern Italian interior design feature is having a fireplace between the kitchen and dining room that is open on both sides. While you can get away with fairly affordable kitchen cupboards, it’s worth splashing out on good solid worktops in wood, marble or stone.\nItalian families always have huge comfortable sofas and large extendable dining tables; the bigger the better. In fact, the dining room is generally the biggest room in the house and will also have big wall cabinets or sideboards. An Italian home is always ready to welcome family and friends for lunch and there is never a shortage of chairs. Tables usually have a central cloth and either a vase, fruit bowl or piece of china on display.\nThe colour scheme of the main living areas of an Italian home generally compliment any wood, terracota or stone architectural features. Mostly in modern Italian interior design you will see white painted walls and very neutral colour schemes and sun-baked tones. Pale greys, creams, beiges, golds and browns all go well with the relaxed natural look, and never go out of date.\nBlack or distressed metal door handles, curtain rails, stair rails, lamps, candle holders and even decorative metal panels can add contrast, both in colour and texture. For a splash of colour most Italians look to the fruit, vegetables and plants they see in the countryside. The red of grapes, the green of olives and the yellow of lemons may feature on upholstery, cushions, ornaments and paintings. Sky blue, grey and green is also used on doors and windows.\nItalians have been known to go a little over the top with colours and patterns in the bathroom. Maybe, it’s to discourage family members from spending too long relaxing in the bathroom.\nInterior design magazines are tipping this year’s fashionable colours to be caramel and pomegranate. But, when it comes to bathroom tiles and children’s bedrooms, Italians have been known to go a little over the top with colours and patterns. I’m not sure why that is. Maybe, it’s to discourage family members from spending too long relaxing in the bathroom.\nItaly tends not to have many national retail chains. You are more likely to find local family-run furniture stores and small gift shops selling kitchenware and interior design elements. They always give a friendly service and go to a lot of trouble to gift wrap small items.\nSome Italian furniture shops were badly hit when Ikea opened in Italy. Sadly, many foreign property buyers will turn to Ikea as it is a brand they recognise. But, it is worth getting local recommendations and searching out the Italian stores. Mondo Convenienza is one successful Italian store that has branches across Italy and offers low prices.\nThe really low priced furniture tends to be found in large supermarkets, DIY stores and “convenienza” shops that sell all kinds of cheap items for the home, from kitchen utensils to garden furniture. Other Italian furniture stores to look out for are Chataeu-dax, Divani &Divani and B&B Italia.\nWhen ordering furniture in Italy always ask if it is in stock and immediately available for ‘pronta consegna‘. Many furniture showrooms will take your purchase order and deposit, and then the manufacturers will make it for you. In my experience the salespeople tend to underestimate delivery dates. Also, as most Italian factories close down for summer, an order placed at the beginning of July could take a couple of months.\nBig DIY stores are great for most home decorating needs.\nBRICOCENTER has the largest chain of DIY stores in Italy with 65 stores across the country. Most of their stores are in the north and centre of Italy. They sell essential DIY, repair, maintenance and renovation solutions and home/garden consumables. Product services often include paint colour mixing, custom frames, custom made blinds and wood and glass cutting.\nLEROYMERLIN has 48 stores across 12 regions of Italy. Although French, 80% of its suppliers are Italian and they use over 500 local artisans for home installation services. Leroy Merlin covers four main areas; DIY, building, gardening and home decoration. These include bathrooms and accessories, kitchens, paints, lighting, tiles, curtains, rugs, shelving etc. products and prices can be found on their website. The colour scheme of many Italian homes is illustrated by the stores curtain range, which mostly stocks white and grey and other fairly neutral colours, such as beige, blue and brown.\nI haven’t personally seen any second-hand furniture shops in Italy, although I have heard that one has recently opened in my region. I haven’t even seen a charity shop either; I think the UK has the monopoly on those. The main marketplace for second hand furniture seems to be Subito.it. You can also find local expat pages with “for sale” sections. If you are lucky, there will be a reclamation centre in your area, but there aren’t many of those about either.\nFor old furniture and interesting items to decorate your home it’s worth visiting an antique market, which are usually held on one Sunday a month. You can often find some culturally and historically interesting pieces that will give any room an Italian feel.\nScrap metal yards are also worth a visit, as they put aside anything they think might sell, such as gates, outdoor light fittings, window grills, fire grates, scaffolding etc. Even a small bit of decorative metal work can look effective mounted on a plain white wall. You should also keep your eyes open when you go past bins in the countryside. We have found some lovely large green demijohn wine bottles.\nFor more Italian Interior design inspiration visit a kiosk next time you are in Italy and buy an Interior Design Magazine.\nCase & Country is a magazine focused on Italian homes and their Italian style, particularly in the countryside.\nVille&Casali covers furniture, building, gardening and country living.\nVille e Giardini is the place to discover Italian style in luxury homes and gardens.\nCorriere della sera Living for inspiration from Italy and abroad.\nCasaFacile for the latest trends.\nUnimpressed by the interiors of houses you’ve viewed?\nWhen viewing houses in Italy you are likely to see some horrendous interiors. Don’t be too quick to judge Italian interior design based on this. This is because Italians rarely put their main residence up for sale. The home they have invested their money in, is more likely to be in town, and will be passed down through the family. The houses you see for sale online are, in the main, people’s country buildings, holiday homes or properties they have inherited and left vacant. Often, they’ll have only used them for summer breaks or to store farm equipment, so haven’t spent money on them.\nBut, if you can look past the shabby décor and furniture, and those awful bathroom tiles, you will see the potential to create your dream home. It’s fantastic when you can justify redoing the whole house with your own design choices, and when it’s finished it really feels like home.
I can't call this "official" because I am no authority.\nAll we have so far are long-term forecasts, which mean nothing and are little more than a historical average with some actual forecasting baked in. The closer we get to race day, the more accurate it will be.\nBoth would be fine, and both mean nothing. But one can hope.\nThis forecast is a suckee suckee. No good.\nLet's hope for another hurricane to hit Boston, like last year. Love watching Yuki win it last year.\nI'll be keeping a close eye on the weather and this thread.\nJust average day is fine with me. I don't want it to be like last year where we walked away with fake winners wearing laurel wreaths.\nI bet the men's winner will be 10 minutes faster than last year and the women's winner closer to 20 minutes faster.\nI bett you're the same kind of person who complains about a real xc course with real hills, which caused you to run slower than usual.\nI don't care about conditions. I'm pumped for the hobbyjogger olympics. I'm out for blood.\nI live near the marathon course. Yesterday was sunny, mid 60s. Today is windy, mid 30s.\nLong way out yet and it will change, but here is a site that breaks it down based on your time and Hopkinton, Wellesly, and Boston.\nThat would be phenomenal. Actually WNW @ 40 MPH would be better.\nI think WSW would be the optimum direction.\nNo, it doesn’t. But thanks for posting anyway.\nLike last year's forecast. Remember Tuesday the day after the marathon had perfect conditions.

The Seventh-Day Adventist Christian church was established in 1863 in New York, but today it maintains headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon, and Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates as well as in the US. As a part of the church’s vision to serve members around the world, the Church records and streams live events globally via their website and social media, including YouTube. By doing so, they are able to reach their followers and other interested people who are unable to attend in person.\nResponding to demand from the community for an improved streaming experience and higher quality video delivery, the church decided to upgrade their systems from analogue to digital SDI. Because their earlier system had required combining and synchronizing audio and video components manually with clapper boards, resulting in poor audio quality, and relied on a lengthy post production process, the Seventh-Day Adventist Church also started looking for a simpler set-up and workflow.\nThe Church’s team wanted to use recordings based on the H.264 codec, which preserves quality and outputs manageable file sizes when compared to DNxHD or RAW formats. They are now deploying the Matrox Monarch HDX streaming and recording appliance, a dual-channel H.264 encoder that supports SDI inputs, for their live events.\nThe first encoder they tested allowed the audio to drift after about 20 minutes of recording, but when they tested the Monarch HDX, its performance was reliable and consistent with the original recording. It also integrates with the church’s existing SDI AV system and, as well as accurately synchronizing the audio and video and maintaining video quality, it produces smaller sized MOV or MP4 files and is simple for their staff to operate.\nFrom a SDI or HDMI input source such as a camera or switcher, the Monarch HDX generates two H.264-encoded video streams at bitrates from 200 Kbps to 30 Mbps. Frame-synchronization, scaling, deinterlacing and noise reduction engines ensure that high quality images are sent to the encoders. For streaming, the encoders use either RTMP or RTSP protocol to deliver live streams to local or cloud-based media servers. On the recording side, the encoders write MP4 or MOV files to local USB drives, SD cards or network-mapped drives for post-event editing or archiving. Meanwhile, the dedicated encoder displays a remote preview of the input.\nThe church brings together hundreds of people from all over the UAE for weekly services. Monarch HDX is used to live stream these services and record them at the same time to be edited and distributed as video on demand. During special events, local and internationally known preachers, speakers and musicians join the congregation.\nThe church’s recent four-day festival called ‘Campmeeting’, an annual event that grows every year, was held in Ras Al Khaimah with over 1,000 attendees and was the first event that the church broadcast using Monarch HDX. Campmeeting brings together diverse people from all over the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, Europe and the US, who have a chance to meet, learn together and listen to some of the world’s best sermons and Christian music.\nAt the festival, SDI digital video cameras were connected to a video switcher and from there, the SDI signal was fed into the Monarch HDX. Presentations were streamed at high quality and low bitrate, and simultaneously recorded for archiving and future reference.\nMatrox has now upgraded the Monarch HDX with the integration of closed captioning capture and streaming support, which gives broadcasters like those at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church greater options to transmit accessible video - from broadcast to digital signals - to all of their online viewers.\nMonarch HDX retrieves captioning data from the SDI VANC or line 21, then embeds the data within the H.264 essence as CEA-608. Caption-enhanced content can be streamed via RTMP to media servers such as Wowza or content delivery networks including YouTube Live or Ustream, or recorded as MOV/MP4 files, and then be decoded by players such as Telestream Switch.

You’ve likely heard the old phrase You are what you eat. And when it comes to depression, that may be exactly right, as certain nutritional deficiencies can put you at a markedly high risk of depression.\nSo let’s look at those nutrients where inadequate intake may adversely affect your mental health, and make some strategies to ensure you get enough – for both your body and your mind!\nIn particular, we want to look at foods that affect your neurotransmitters; dopamine, norepinepherine, and serotonin in particular are key pieces of your mental health puzzle. Built of amino acids, it should be easy to ensure adequate neurotransmitter health with a balanced diet–but getting a balanced diet isn’t always so easy for everyone.\nIn particular, deficiencies in the following nutrients can cause real problems with your brain’s chemistry, and as a result, can lead to increased risk of depression.\nB complex vitamins all vary, but in general, each can have profound effects on mental health. B12 deficiency, for instance, has been linked to brain shrinkage and dementia (as well as depression). Folate, B6, and B12, help maintain healthy protein metabolism, which decreases the risk of depression. B vitamins may best be found in dark leafy greens, though nuts, seeds, whole grains, and meats can also be good dietary sources.\nIron deficiency, also known as anemia, can result in apathy, brain fog, fatigue, irritability, decreased motivation, and loss of appetite. While more common in women, it can also occur in men, and is frequently misdiagnosed. It can also aggravate any existing depression or other mental health issues. Eating vitamin C rich foods helps increase the absorption of iron, which can best be added to your diet in beef, dark meat chicken, eggs, lamb, liver, oysters, pork, and white beans.\nWhile the average American gets less than half their daily recommended magnesium, the consequences couldn’t be more dire: Magnesium helps reduce anxiety and the risk of diabetes, lower blood pressure, and is required for more than 300 biochemical reactions. It also helps activate the reactions necessary for neurotransmitter production, so not getting enough magnesium can markedly increase your risk of depression as a result. Bran, dark green vegetables, dark chocolate, nuts and seeds, and whole grains are all good sources of magnesium in your diet.\nWhile fatty fish are loaded with omega-3 fats (the good fats!), you can also get them in fortified eggs and in daily supplements (though your body best absorbs those fats and makes best use of them if taken as part of your regular diet). In addition to the part where omega-3 fats are great for neuron function and reducing inflammation (which itself can be a key factor in depression and other mood disorders), the key risk in not getting enough omega-3 fats is that you’ll likely simply replace those good fats in your diet with trans fats, which actually increase inflammation.\nSelenium is similar to iodine in that it is necessary for healthy thyroid function, which can have major mental health consequences. The best food sources include Brazil nuts, chicken, fish, ham, liver, and shrimp. Additional benefits of getting enough selenium include it’s anti-inflammatory properties, which can also be helpful in combating depression and maintaining mental health.\nWhile one of the best natural sources of vitamin D is adequate sunlight, that isn’t always an option. Unfortunately, not getting enough vitamin D can lead to increased risk of anxiety, dementia, depression, and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). The best natural food sources available are mostly fatty fish, such as herring, mackerel, salmon, and sardines, though for most people a supplement will be needed if they can’t get enough vitamin D from natural sunlight exposure.\nCritical for the production and function of neurotransmitters, zinc is also (like magnesium) involved in more than 250 biochemical reactions necessary for good mental health, so not getting enough in your diet can have major ramifications. It also is important for digestive function and your immune system, both of which have mental health applications; as much as 50% of your dopamine and 90% of your serotonin supplies are produced by in small intestines. Fortunately, there are lots of good zinc food sources, including beef, cashews, chicken, crab, lamb, legumes, oysters, and pork.\nAt the end of the day, you really are what you eat–and there may be nowhere that this is more true than your brain. If you don’t feed your brain well, you can’t expect it to function at its best, and this is particularly true when it comes to depression. So check your diet closely–and eat up with the above list in mind!
Mexican consulates in Texas announce free services to provide legal counsel and information to Mexican nationals amid the SB 4 immigration lawsuit.\nTexas Senate Bill 4, known as the “show me your papers” law to its opponents, currently faces a challenge in a San Antonio federal court. If the law takes effect, police in Texas will be able to ask people they stop about their immigration status.\nUnauthorized immigrants from Mexico living in Texas have found a new ally to fight deportation from the U.S.– the Mexican government. The Mexican Consulate has announced plans to hold emergency preparedness clinics, know your rights sessions and other support events to help eligible Mexican nationals apply for U.S. citizenship.\nCarlos González Gutiérrez, the Consul General of Mexico in Austin, says the thousands of dollars contributed to the program by the Mexican government are not directly in response to SB 4.\nHe says a key aspect of the effort is access to immigration attorney resources for Mexican citizens living in the U.S.\nGonzález Gutiérrez says the average Mexican national has been living in the U.S. for 10 years, leading to their involvement in binational families. He says the diaspora movement has ended, as there is now a net outflow of immigration from the U.S. back to Mexico.

Although many people do not like to think much about major life changes that may involve the loss of a loved one, it is still a smart idea to plan for the inevitable before something actually happens. As an experienced family law lawyer, John Hixson has been assisting families for many years, making transitions in life a smoother and less uncertain experience.\nThe most basic and common form of estate planning is the preparation of a will. Creating a will removes questions and clearly spells out a person’s desires as to which heir should receive which assets upon their death. Grand Prairie families should take the time to invest in preparing a will so that they can properly take care of their families from generation to generation.\nSome families want and need additional estate assurances and protection. For them, it not only makes sense to prepare a will but also explore the creation of a trust as well. Trusts allow the smooth transfer of assets upon a person’s death within a legal framework that prevents them from having to pay taxes or go through probate. Mr. Hixson has helped families set up trusts to ensure maximum protection of their hard-earned assets.\nIn some instances, a family member may become incapacitated through an ongoing medical problem or by virtue of an unexpected accident or another life event. When this happens, it is important for that person to have a plan in place that ensures their wishes are acted upon based on their desires. A power of attorney document in place is the best guarantee that this will be the case. There are two primary forms of power of attorney. A medical power of attorney gives another person the right to make health care decisions on your behalf when you cannot, and a durable power of attorney gives another person the right to handle all of your affairs if you are no longer able to do so.\nAll estates that only have a will in place must go through probate, which is the systematic dissemination of a person’s assets after they pass away. It involves locating those assets, paying the decedent’s bills, working with creditors, filing tax returns, and distributing the remaining assets to the deceased person’s heirs. It can be a time-consuming activity and there can be legal issues to overcome as well. Hiring an experienced probate attorney such as John Hixson will remove most, if not all, of the issues related to probate, allowing for a smooth transfer of assets from one person to another.\nMr. Hixson prepares Wills, Powers of Attorney and simple Trusts. Almost everyone needs a Will and Powers of Attorney. Your Will directs both who gets your property and designates who is in charge of the process of settling the estate. A professionally prepared Will saves money for your loved ones by speeding and streamlining the probate process. Leaving no Will or worse a poorly prepared Will is costly and time consuming. He also can also help in settling an estate.
Bombay, Jaslok and Fortis hospitals worked out a consensus, and now South Mumbai’s Cumballa Hill and Andheri’s Kokilaben Ambani hospitals are ready to follow suit.\nIn a major breather to patients, more five-star hospitals are now willing to join the Preferred Provider Network (PPN) of the public sector insurance companies that will enable patients to claim cashless medical facilities.\nSouth Mumbai’s Cumballa Hill Hospital recently joined the network and Andheri’s Kokilaben Ambani Hospital is ready to follow suit. Earlier, Bombay, Jaslok and Fortis hospitals have worked out a consensus and joined the PPN.\nIn 2010, five-star hospitals had banned cashless insurance for patients who had taken policies from the four public sector insurance companies – New India Assurance, United India Insurance, Oriental Insurance and National Insurance – after they came up with PPN and fixed rates for all medical procedures. The hospitals argued that their expenses vary from location, equipment and services, and that they cannot fix prices for all procedures.\nAfter a series of meetings and discussions with the General Insurer’s Public Sector Association (GIPSA), however, private hospitals are now willing to join after the insurance companies are readily moulding the packages of procedures.\n“Earlier, the decision of GIPSA was ad hoc. Now they are being more practical and understanding,” said Dr Niraj Uttamani, CEO of Cumballa Hill hospital. “The GIPSA team considered our problems such as range of rooms, cost of consumables and so on. They have also committed to give us the payment of a cashless case within 30-45 days,” said Uttamani, adding that patients were extremely hassled because of the non-availability of cashless facility.\nThe tussle between the hospitals and insurance companies began on July 1, 2010 after the governmentowned insurance companies started the PPN programme to put a stop to inflated claims made by the hospitals under cashless insurance. Under PPN, the rates of all surgeries were fixed by the insurance companies.\nThe hospitals, however, did not agree with the rates stating that they were extremely low and that the insurance companies had not considered the facilities, locations and class of the hospitals. For smaller hospitals and nursing homes, the rates were slashed up to 30 per cent and for bigger hospitals, they were reduced to less than 50 per cent of what they charged earlier.\n“Gradually, hospitals and the insurance companies are redesigning packages that are suitable for both parties. Kokilaben Ambani Hospital, too, has almost finalised the packages and will soon start their cashless service,” said Krishnakant Mehta, executive office of Association of Hospitals (AoH), a body of more than 60 major private hospitals in the city.\n“More hospitals are in talks and may follow suit,” he added. Experts say the development will benefit lakhs of patient, as barely 15 per cent market is owned by 16 private insurance companies, while the four public sector companies own the major 75 per cent of medical insurance market.

The introduction of a sari emoji has caught the attention of Indians on Twitter, but many are disappointed as the sari emoji resembles a salwar-kurta.\nA non-binary couple, a period emoji (red, not blue), an inter-racial couple, a man using a wheelchair – these are some of the 200-odd emojis that will be rolled out this year. Announced by the Unicode Consortium which approves and standardises emojis, the list includes 59 new emojis. It goes up to 75, when gender variations are taken into account, and if you count all the skin tone options as well, a total of 230 new emojis have been approved.\nThese include emojis like yawning face, pinching hands, onion, garlic, waffles, flamingo, otters and a drop of blood – which is being considered the new period emoji. The new emojis also focus on people with disabilities, with emojis depicting people living with hearing disabilities, a probing cane, a man and a woman using a cane, a man and a woman using a wheelchair – manual as well as motorised – and ears with hearing aids attached. The ears also come in different skin tones. New emojis for service dogs and guide dogs will also be introduced.\nThe introduction of a sari emoji and an auto rickshaw emoji has caught the attention of Indians on Twitter, but many are disappointed as the sari emoji resembles a salwar-kurta. Emojis for a Hindu temple and a diya (traditional lamp) have also been approved.\nThe new emojis are expected to be rolled out by September or October 2019, but some vendors may roll them out before that as well.
What does mint chocolate chip ice cream have to do with CRM?\nOne of my “rant buttons” is the way Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is usually discussed as a software-oriented, direct marketing, customers-in-the-aggregate, technology tool. Shouldn’t we focus, first, on how to manage human relationships with individual customers, and then look at how the technology can support those one-on-one relationships? In practice, it usually doesn’t work that way. Here’s a recent post I wrote on tompeters.com that sums up these thoughts.\nFrom where I was standing, near Caroline at the front of the room, I could see the faces in the audience. They practically glowed with understanding.\nSure, technology is very helpful in remembering those “nuggets” about individual customers. But those nuggets only matter once you pull them out and use them to give customers what they want. Think of all of the nuggets about individual customers that are sitting in your CRM database. Is your company using that information only to execute more streamlined direct marketing campaigns, or are you using that information interact with individual customers in ways that are relevant to each customer?\nRemember, it doesn’t matter if you know it. It only matters if you use it.
In the history of weaponry, every new lethal weapon has led to the creation of a weapon that can take the lethal weapon down or at least diminish its effects. Even the most destructive of them all; the nuclear weapons can be defended from by using missile defense systems. One of the pieces of weaponry choice of countries like US is drones. The drones or unmanned aerial vehicles are capable of getting the desired result without putting the pilot’s life in danger. China though seems to have created the counter-measure for a drone offensive and their answer is lasers.\nChina’s new anti-drone laser weapon has a range of two kilometers and is capable of taking down low-altitude threats in five seconds of locating the target. The state media said that the technology will be used against “various small aircrafts.” The technology has been developed at the China Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP).\nChinese government has been known for taking aggressive stands against almost every country that it sees as a threat. The nation’s President, Xi Jinping, had recently asked the country to be prepared for regional wars. China is already the 2nd biggest spender on defense in the world. It regularly finds itself at odds with its neighbours, especially India and the countries in the South China Sea.\nThe anti-drone weapon is one the steps taken by the country as a preventive measure and also to assert its military might. According to Xinhua, the weapon is effective up to a maximum altitude of 500 metres and against an aircraft flying at up to 50 metres per second (112 mph).\nThe drone technology has gained tremendous leap in just the recent times. Consumer models are available in departmental stores for really affordable prices. One of the officials has said that terrorists can make use of this easily available technology for their activities, and hence a deterrence is required.\nA statement by CAEP says that shot down more than 30 drones in a recent test with a 100 percent success rate. The academy is also developing the next generation of laser security systems which will be capable of greater power and longer range.

FBI Director Louis J. Freeh, Sara J. Bloomfield, Director, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Abraham H. Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, today announced a new training segment for all FBI new agent trainees. The segment, which began last month, focuses on law enforcement's historical role in the 1930's and 40's in abetting the Holocaust. It is designed to ensure that FBI investigators, early in their training, understand fully the consequences when law enforcement fails to protect citizens, their civil rights, their dignities, and their moral, ethical and humane values.\nDirector Freeh says there are enormous benefits for the new agents who participate in the segment. Freeh said, "We do this early on in their training for a very simple purpose: to remind them of the horror and evil which can result from not just a government, but particularly law enforcement, abandoning its mission to protect people and becoming the engine of oppression."\nThe agent trainees are given a guided tour of the Museum and instructed on the role played by the police during Hitler's reign. Police were engaged in rounding up Jews, political opponents and other targeted groups. Agent trainees then meet in a classroom to discuss the implications of the historical lesson. Finally, they are required to evaluate the segment in an essay that addresses the question, "Of what relevance is this history to you as a human being and as a law enforcement official?"\nSara Bloomfield stated "Much of the Holocaust was perpetrated or supported by trained professionals who were doing their job'. The Museum's program with the FBI challenges law enforcement agents to examine the moral dimensions of their professions."\nStudent comments from the first session included: "a constant reminder of the evils that can occur when one abuses power"; "it has taught me that making sure our Constitution is strictly followed should be a number one priority throughout my career"; and "it will help me remember my greatest duty: to preserve human life and protect the civil rights of every man, woman, and child."\nDirector Freeh added, "We must be morally responsible for what we do. We have to understand and protect not just the people we serve, but the moral and ethical values and human dignities that are so important to us all."\n"We applaud the FBI's commitment to participate in this program, which emphasizes law enforcement's critical role as defenders of the Constitution and guardians of individual rights. This partnership program between the Anti Defamation League and the Museum has tremendous potential to impact the next generation of law enforcement leadership." stated Abraham Foxman.\nThis training segment enhances the current new Agent training curriculum's focus on law enforcement ethics and core law enforcement values. It also complements the FBI's training curriculum at its International Law Enforcement Academy in Budapest, Hungary, which has taught a course in Human Dignity to more than 1,000 police officers from former communist countries.

As part of my goal to learn about and incorporate technology in my teaching of primary students, I set out to complete two major events this year. First, I got really excited about the first Google Apps for Education Ontario Summit. Subsequently, I made the commitment and signed up for the Integration of Information and Computer Technology in Instruction, Part 1 AQ course.\nI was back and forth on doing the AQ, because I have always been pretty comfortable with technology, but it really became more about improving my learning overall and cultivating a learning community for myself.\nIn our very first class we created a 6 word story by finding an image about learning or teaching online and using Pixlr to add words to the image. We could only use 6 words, to sum up our ideas. I like this idea, and will definitely be trying it with my students. I am attaching the story I made here, as a focus of the blog, and to hopefully get the ball rolling.\nThis entry was posted in Musings, Resources and tagged goal, Google, Pixlr, primary, technology.
Written by Larry Neild. Published on May 9th 2013.\nLIB DEM councillor Rosie Jolly defected to Labour today, taking the main Town Hall opposition group on Liverpool City Council to just nine.\nBut the Lib Dems had already ditched her, saying her work in the Wavertree ward was “well below” what was expected and and had selected another candidate, Steve Maddison, to stand for them, at the next election.\nCllr Jolly came to office in May 2010, joining ex-Lord Mayor and former leader Mike Storey as one of her ward colleagues.\nA year after she won, Mike Storey was beaten in the 2011 elections by Labour’s teenage wonder boy Jake Morrison. He has just announced he is leaving the council chamber himself in 2015 when his term of office is up.\nFrom today the line up in the council chamber will be Labour 75, Lib Dems 9, Liberals 3, Greens 2, Independent 1.\nRosie JollyCllr Jolly blamed the Lib Dem’s part in the Coalition Government for her decision to join the Labour ranks.\nShe explained her decision in a lengthy resignation letter to Lib Dem leader Cllr Richard Kemp.\nCllr Jolly wrote: “I believe the Liberal Democrats nationally have failed the country and more importantly have failed our city. The lack of challenge by the party on key Conservative policy issues, changes to the Welfare State and the controversial Bedroom Tax, which directly impact on some of the most vulnerable individuals in this city is unforgivable.\n“This coupled with the disproportionate cuts to funding Liverpool has had to implement is a classic example of how the national party has let down the city and its people when they have repeatedly failed to listen to the implications the cuts have for a city like Liverpool and its demographic profile.\n“When I joined the party I was proud to call myself a Liberal Democrat but since the formation of the Coalition that pride has gradually turned to shame and I can no longer defend the indefensible. For some time I have being taking stock of the national position and concluded that the party has placed me in an untenable position. My values and aspirations as both An individual and politician are more aligned to those of the Labour party and as such I have decided I can no longer remain a member of the Liberal Democrats.\nThank you for this. I am not really surprised as frankly your efforts since you have been elected have been well below what we expect of a Lib Dem councillor in terms of ward work, committee work and attendance at group and Party meetings.\nYou will also be aware that we have already adopted Steve Maddison to replace you as our candidate for next year's elections.\nI wish you well in your new career.\nI think she already answers Kemp's reply when she says: "When you feel ashamed to call yourself a Liberal Democrat, it becomes time to move on" Who in their right mind would want to go around the ward and face the public as a representative of the coalition trying to apologise for or defend the indefensible ?\nWill any of us sleep tightly at night knowing we have a powerful Labour Mayor who can call upon 75 of the 90 elected councillors. With no dispect to any councillor or politician, a healthy opposition is necessary to keep the ruling party in some kind of order.\n75 is not sufficient. It is clear that only with 76 Labour councillors can the people of Liverpool be defended from the evils of the bedroom tax and win billions in inward investment. In fact, 91 should be the clear target.\nHer statement is largely bull crap. She goes on about how the lib dems nationaly have failed the people of liverpool yet she was perfectly happy to join the lib dems and stand for election for them at a time when nationaly they were no hoping 3rd placed opisition fodder with no influence on anything. All thats happened is the Lib dems ditched her and this is a petty attempt at a) revenge and b) a hope at keeping her seat and allowences when she is next up for election.\nNot so dozy Rosie! It only took three years to cotton on, she's defected to a crew, who will see the trend of national politics change for the better. I only wish the same could be said for local politics, Big Joe is doing is utmost to alienate himself and his fellow lemmings from the public in this metropolis.\nI am inclined to believe Jan Clein, who was one of the few principled Lib Dem Councillors, not afraid to speak against things she disagreed about within her own party. So yes, good luck Joe. My own view is that a defection to another party should amount to a resignation from the seat and a chance for the electorate to decide on which party they wish to represent them. That would deal with any opportunists who have sudden conversions on the road to Dom Tescos.
For a yearly staff event of the Belgian Institute selected the unique Unesco Heritage Meets the Flemish Masters presented by #admirebelgium.\nThe 200+ delegates got inspired by an interactive stroll on the trail of Rubens a Flemish Master and Baroque legend in the city of #Antwerp.\nThey started from the Royal atmosphere at Antwerp's central railway station discovering other Baroque gems and a fashion photo-shoot getting ‘the time, team and theme spirit'.\nA well-deserved meal following the Flemish tradition concluded this historical day!\nLooking for the ideal motivating experience.

Under California law, employees are entitled to “one day’s rest in seven.” But what, exactly, does that mean?\nOn May 8, the California Supreme Court answered three questions related to seventh day of work rules (Mendoza v. Nordstrom Inc., No. S224611 (May 8, 2017)). These questions are important for California employers and provide guidance on how they can schedule employees. Overall, the California Supreme Court’s answers were helpful for employers.\nChristopher Mendoza, a former employee of Nordstrom, Inc., filed this case as a class action lawsuit. Mendoza claimed that he was asked on several occasions to fill in for another employee, with the result that he worked more than six days in a row. During each of these periods, some, but not all, of Mendoza’s shifts lasted six hours or less.\nMendoza filed his case in federal court alleging Nordstrom violated state labor laws by allowing employees to work seven or more days in a row, but the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals asked the California Supreme Court to resolve the following unsettled questions before it could issue its decision.\nThe California Supreme Court has now provided the following answers, and the case will return to the Ninth Circuit for a decision on the underlying case.\nIs the required day of rest calculated by the workweek, or is it calculated on a rolling basis for any consecutive seven-day period? This question is important because it’s likely most employers currently use the workweek approach.\nIf the law applies to each workweek, the employer has not violated it. If the law applies to any consecutive seven days, as Mendoza argued, the employer violated it.\n“A day of rest is guaranteed for each workweek. Periods of more than six consecutive days that stretch across more than one workweek are not per se prohibited [emphasis added].” In other words, in the example above, there would not be a per se violation.\nWhat if an employee chooses to work an extra shift? Is that OK?\nAccording to the court, the employer can’t conceal the right to rest and can’t take any action to encourage employees to forgo rest.\nThis decision provided much-needed guidance to California employers.\nAn important note for employers: Make sure you designate your workweek. If you do not set a designated workweek, the law presumes a workweek of 12:01 a.m. Sunday to midnight Saturday.\nKeep in mind that there are also increased overtime pay requirements if an employee does choose to work seven consecutive days in a workweek—time-and-one-half for the first eight hours worked on the seventh consecutive day of the workweek and double time for hours worked beyond eight.

This industrial style .925 sterling silver heart ring is made here in NYC start to finish. It features a faceted 4mm deep red garnet heart flanked by two matched faceted ruby rounds bezet set in portholes.\nThe silver band is nicely detailed with industrial motifs. There are rivets, pipes and vents around the band. It is a delicately scaled piece that is lovely worn single or stacked with another ring.\nI oxidize this ring black and seal it here at the studio. The stones are hand pick and professionally set. This piece went through months of revision until it was just so.\nThe band measures 8 mm wide and 5.6 mm thick.\nIt can be custom engraved for an additional $25. Please leave engraving instructions in checkout comments.\nSee a version of this ring in polished sterling!\nThis piece is also offered set with an Amethyst or an Australian Opal heart. You may choose to have it set with two small diamonds at no additional cost.\nI am very pleased with this piece. It is quite comfortable and very unique. This ring is a continuation of my quest to take the steampunk industrial aesthetic to a more refined place. It is tight well done work that retains the look and feel of handmade. As with the other pieces in this series I set the stones in threes. Two people. One love.
God’s way with me has always been thematic; He leads me along a path where His word, books, words from others, and worship songs speak with similar tongue until I finally hear His heart for me.\nI have mentioned before in earlier blogs that I have been deeply impacted by a book written about Hudson Taylor (“Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret”); I am presently reading it for the second time.\nHudson Taylor was given a supernatural burden for the evangelization of inland China in the 1800’s. He believed as a 20 something year old man that God was calling him to leave all and follow Him for the sake of the gospel.\n“And He said to all, “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?” (Luke 9:23-25).\n“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it” (Matt.10:3-39).\nThis reads extreme, but maybe because it is? How many of us have actually followed Jesus with this kind of faith and love?\nAnother biography I am thinking of is “Through the Gates of Splendor”, a story of God calling a young man named Jim Elliot and his companions (with wives) to leave their home and country behind and follow Jesus to the heart of the jungles of Ecuador.\nThe lives of these missionary men were speared to death by the Auca Natives; the very people group they believed God sent them to.\nThe miracle of this calling is that God called the wives of these missionary men to go back to reach the people who took the lives of their husbands.\n“May the Lord teach us what it means to live in terms of the end, like Paul who said,’Neither count I my life dear to unto myself, that I might finish my course with joy…'” (from pg.18 of “Through The Gates Of Splendor”).\nHow precious is my own life to me?\nI believe that God is up to something, He is looking for those who will lay down their lives for the sake of the gospel and that call has not changed my friends…we have!\nWe are surrounded by deep attachments, comforts and securities; surrounded by excuses, what if’s and fear, but in the meantime thousands are dying all over the world and slipping into a Christless eternity.\nWe are not get any younger and time is like the clock ever moving ahead to the next second, minute and hour.\nAm I watching from the pew or am I counting the cost and willing to leave everything should God place such a call?\nTo what extent will I live for Jesus?; My answer to this question must determine how I live my life!!\nThe clouds are bellowing with pink and grey outside my living room window and I wonder, how much longer until the King of Kings returns? The sky tonight certainly looks majestic enough to boast His entry!\nThe King IS coming…where will I be found? Will I be ready? Will those who know me know why my face in lifted heavenward?\n“For me to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me” (Phil.1:21-22).\nHave you ever contemplated this verse?\nPraying without ceasing is quite presumptuous of the Apostle Paul don’t you think?\nThat would be like driving without having to anticipate any stop signs or red lights.\nJesus, in this particular biblical account, was telling the story of a persistent widow who pretty much hounded a judge for justice until he finally gave her what she asked for.\nThe parable is not so much about the widow getting what she wanted as much as it is about her persistence…she would not give up! Kinda like a two-year old in the candy isle of the grocery store.\n“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer”(Rom.12:12).\n“Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving”(Col.4:2).\nWhy do you think we are instructed to pray constantly and steadfastly?\nDear reader, do you believe your every prayer is heard?\nDo you know that God delights to hear your voice?\nDo you give up praying when silence is what you seem to receive in return?\nOr do you give up when your prayers sound like broken records?\nWhat if we take our thinking one step further?… If we are instructed to pray without ceasing and encouraged to not grow weary in prayer, then this must imply that there will be times when we will be tempted to give up! Times when we will become weary in waiting for answers and times when we stop praying altogether.\nThis truth also highlights God’s foreknowledge of our humanity; He put a plan of encouragement into written script for us! Leaving us without excuse.\nWhy would we be instructed from the Word of God to pray if God had no intention of answering us?\nDear soul, don’t stop praying!\nLike a lover’s kiss at sunrise.\nAs my husband and I were eating dinner out last night I caught myself evaluating the restaurant we were eating in.\nIt is definitely not the first time I have done this, in fact I think I do it every time I encounter a service of any kind; be it a hotel, restaurant, coffee shop and yes, even a church service.\nI was caught off guard by my self realization and immediately I began to ask myself some hard questions; like why do I waste my mind space thinking about changes of improvement in any or all of these places? What good does it do driving myself nuts by inefficiency or unprofessional conduct, attire or lack of cleanliness when I am powerless to change anything?\nI have also became aware of the effect my evaluative addiction has had on my emotions; I get all fired up inside at the possibility of what could be for these places of service “if this” change could be made, and then find myself left with no outlet for my passionate energy.\nAnother example is prior to my husband and my going out for dinner we had stayed overnight at a hotel (which shall remain unnamed).\nWe had decided to have a little one night get away before my husband started his new job. I was quite looking forward to this as we love staying in hotels from time to time, it adds a little spice to our 26 year old marriage.\nMy first indication of what awaited us in our room was given away by the front desk clerk, who upon our entry to the hotel was sitting on the counter behind the concierge eating from a bowl of “M&M’s”, he was wearing casual clothes and his buddy in training was wearing something entirely different; they were friendly enough but couldn’t answer some of our questions.\nNeedless to say, it was an interesting night! I will spare you the details of our room!\nWhat beauty have I been missing out on by being tuned in to improvement? Have I trained my mind and eyes to see only pie in the sky hypotheticals?\nI suppose this could also be defined as a bad habit.\nThis type of thinking can breed a critical spirit, instead of humility and a heart oflove and thanksgiving.\nNor is it my business to think that way when I have not been placed in a position to bring change.\nWhat a time waster this can be!\nWhat blessings, and souls of people have I missed seeing and hearing?\nWhat has been evident in MY life as a result of this addiction to excellence? Is this a permissive form of self-promotion or even an attitude of arrogance?\nHow I pray today that Jesus transform my heart and mind to His life of servant hood, of becoming a woman who offers my heart before I offer my opinion; a woman who offers love and encouragement and praise instead of a business minded handshake of improvement.\nThe “human” that I am thinking of right now is Mother Teressa…she led the way through graphic human horror with the mind and love of God.\nMay my life do the same.

Australia's far-right politicians target struggling towns to garner support ahead of next month's national election. Yiming Woo reports.\nAfter almost 20 years of political silence, Australia's far right is making itself heard again. (SOUNDBITE) (English) AUSTRALIAN LIBERTY ALLIANCE (ALA) SENATE CANDIDATE FOR NEW SOUTH WALES KIRRALIE SMITH, SAYING: "I believe that if you have had enough of political correctness, if you have had enough of left-wing socialist agendas dominating every industry in Australia, if you've had enough of over-paid, self-seeking, cookie-cut, machine manufactured politicians and if you've had enough of this Islamist agenda being shoved down your throat, I don't think you have any other choice but to vote one, Australian Liberty Alliance." Kirralie Smith is a mother of three and one of her party's most prominent candidates. She's speaking to supporters in Bathurst, a town in southeast Australia. She and other far-right politicians hoping to get elected on July 2nd have found support in struggling regional towns with higher unemployment and fewer immigrants. Analysts say One Nation Party leader Pauline Hanson is likely get a seat in parliament. (SOUNDBITE) (English) LEADER OF ONE NATION PARTY, PAULINE HANSON, SAYING: "So what I'm saying is, pressure the government to say 'No more muslims in Australia, no more Muslim refugees in Australia, take a strong stance, protect our security, our safety on our streets and our people." The wider movement has waged campaigns against issues such as mosque-building. In recent months, rallies organised by anti-Muslim groups turned violent as they clashed with anti-racism protesters. But as the far-right agenda gathers steam, many of its supporters still don't want to be identified. One man has said he didn't want to speak on camera out of fear that he'd be put on an Islamic "hit list".
Launched in May 2012, Google’s Knowledge Graph enhanced the standard search experience and made finding relevant information easy. It displays an index card-like result for what was queried in the top right column. Previously it had provided useful facts about people, places and things. This is a move to return information that is more than a regurgitation of what was typed into the search box – it’s a smart search returning concepts. Now it’s even savvier for the user who is searching for a car.\nThis week Google announced its Knowledge Graph can now make the research-intensive act of car shopping even easier for users in the United States! Initially rolled out for searches of nouns such as Albert Einstein, Taj Mahal, and Wrigley Field, this enhancement now allows information gathering of vehicles to be easier and faster.\nGoogle’s creation of Knowledge Graph was their evolution to make search returns more of what people are really looking for, and less of what they’re not. Having compiled over 3.5 billion facts, which include 500 million people, places and things, it works at finding relationships between them to make search relevant and useful.\nRelevant search results are important to Google because its main source of revenue is Google AdWords pay-per-click advertising. Users are more likely to click on ads, and in doing so make money for the search engine, if they can more intuitively generate content to deliver exactly what people want information on.\nThe addition of autos to the Knowledge Graph now gives users Google-provided information on that topic without them having to go to car dealer websites to find and assemble information themselves. It simplifies the process while making Google even more valuable to users.\nIf you’re interested in researching, for example, a 2014 Volkswagen Touareg X, type the year, make and model into the search box and Knowledge Graph instantly returns information for easy review. The vehicle type, miles per gallon, manufacturer’s suggested retail price, engine sizes, make, horsepower, other model years available, and configurations with prices are all displayed.\nIt anticipates what information you’re really searching for by providing all these other details in addition to the words ‘2014 Volkswagen Touareg’ that were entered.\nYou can see what else people who looked up a 2014 Volkswagen Touareg searched for by clicking on the links to other related searches. When you click on those, their individual Knowledge Graph cards are displayed and you are taken to a product carousel. It allows for easy jumping around to different, similar vehicles for comparative shopping.\nFacebook’s Open Graph application has been in use since 2010. It’s a great way for brands to get into the friends and family minds of users engaged with their products. Spotify uses this app; notice it the next time you can see what music people you’re connected to are listening to.\nWith automotive-shopping, car brands using Open Graph get publicized on Facebook, and people can see what people they know and, potentially trust, are interested in. Thinking about buying a Lexus and your best friend is interacting with a Lexus promotion on Facebook? This opens an opportunity for you two to connect on this topic, to discover why you’re both interested in the same car and possibly be what pushes you into purchasing the car.\nOpen Graph makes it easy and fun to see what your car-shopping friends are interested in. The inclusion of cars in Google’s Knowledge Graph feature keeps them at the forefront of innovation in search engines. It also increases the likelihood of not needing to leave their site to find all the information you need in one convenient place. Anticipating what you’re looking for makes search enjoyable. You’re given full specs on the product you entered, and a variety of other relevant options, some of which you may not have considered, that are only one click away.
A sativa-dominant hybrid of Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze and two time Cannabis Cup winner from Green House Seeds. Super Lemon Haze is a kief-caked multi-colored wonder. As the name states this strain has real lemony characteristics. The smell is zesty, citrusy, and a little sweet. As for the taste, it’s everything one would expect from the namesake; tart and sweet like lemon heads candy – not quite as sharp as one might expect. The effects are uniquely energetic and lively, may not be the best strain for those of us that are naturally wound-up tight.\nI enjoyed reading this. i like redondo beach marketing and hermosa beach seo. did you know there is a print campaigns company aiding clients, building memerable print marketing structures plus search engine optimization advertising and referral marketing campaigns?\nVery nice post.

I’m releasing a new open-source app today. It’s called the Relatedness Calculator. It’s a pretty simple app: what it does is take the name of a relative, written in plain English, and calculate the relatedness coefficient for that relative. It even accepts complex English descriptions, like “father’s half-brother’s granddaughter.” Plus, it draws a family tree, so that you can visualize the relationship. It’s pretty fun if you’re into genealogy!\nWhy did I write this app? Well, the inspiration actually came from a strange place: a message board. On this message board, a guy was wondering if anyone though it would be weird to date a distant relative of his. He said she was his grandma’s cousin’s daughter, and although that’s a pretty big distance in the family tree, he was worried about the social stigma if the two of them were to get married. Having a layman’s interest in genetics, I did the math for him and told him that he was only 1.5% related to her. And if he compared that to cousins (12.5%), which is kind of the borderline of acceptability for most cultures, he could see that it’s not really a big deal.\nDoing the math for such a far-flung relation, though, was kind of tough. I had to go back and re-read some of Richard Dawkin’s excellent The Selfish Gene to brush up on the calculations. And then I wanted to make sure that my math was right, so I wrote some Java classes to help me out. Then I started writing unit tests. Then I started writing a parser, and… well, sometimes when you’re moderately autistic, as many programmers are, you start to get carried away. So I did, and that became a standalone Java library.\nAt this point I knew I wanted to make an app out of this project, because I thought it was neat enough to interest a lot of people (and not just those who want to date their relatives). I could have easily built an Android app out of it, but I’ve already written 8 Android apps, and anyway I didn’t think it was the right platform. Nobody’s going to download such a trivial app to their phone. Also, there didn’t seem to be any general-purpose relatedness calculators on the web, so I thought: why not make my own?\nThis is my first published webapp, so in many ways it’s kind of a “hello world” for me. I used Grails, because it seemed like a nice framework, and Groovy is close to Java. Astute Grails fans will notice that I didn’t even bother to change the default theming, but that’s typically what I do when I write apps. I don’t have a head for design, so even with my Android apps I’ve always just used the default theme. I prefer focusing on functionality over flash.\nTo deploy the app was a bit complicated. I hesitated between choosing Google App Engine and Amazon EC2, but in the end I decided to go with the latter, because as it turned out I needed full OS access in order to run Graphviz on the command line in a separate process, which I don’t believe is supported by GAE.\nI registered for an Amazon EC2 Micro instance because it’s free for one year, so we’ll see how it holds up. Even though the app is pretty lightweight – no persistence, no heavy computation, most everything cached – I’ve already seen some significant slowdown. Since the server is free, though, I can’t really complain.\nThe biggest difference I find with developing webapps versus Android apps is just the barrier to entry. When it comes to costs, being an Android developer will only run you the $25 signup fee, and then after that Google takes care of the rest. For a webapp, though, I need to pay $10-15/year for the domain name, and then my micro EC2 instance (after the first free year) will cost at least $15/month, plus more if the app is popular. That’s pretty steep for hobby apps like mine, which don’t even bring in any money.\nAs for deployment, you also don’t need to know how to set up a LAMP stack on Android, or how to build a WAR file, or even how to use the command line. You just submit your app to Google using the web interface, and you’re done.\nWhen it comes to Android, I think an undergrad, with one or two intro Java courses under their belt, could probably build a decent app just by reading the Android tutorials. Building a webapp, on the other hand, requires a lot of additional specialized knowledge. Having come from a server-side background, and having had to figure this stuff out myself by trial and error, I can definitely say that web development is not for the faint of heart. It’s a global standard, and the W3C has tried to please everybody, so much of it feels like a Frankenstein’s monster of barely compatible compromises, rather than a holistic framework built from the ground up, like what Google did with Android.\nAnd yet, web development is so… satisfying. I love that I can build this app, and now anybody with a browser can just point themselves to my site and make use of my code. It even works on mobile! Just play around with the CSS a bit, and you can turn your webapp into a perfectly functional, cross-platform mobile application. I suppose these observations seem pretty banal to folks who have been doing web development for forever, but for me, it’s still kind of amazing.\nAnyway, the Relatedness Calculator is live now, so go check it out. And if you have improvements to make, fork it on GitHub!

The government may be picking up the tab for nearly half of the nation’s health care expenses by the end of the decade, but very little of the increase will be due to the health care reform law, according to a report published Thursday in the journal Health Affairs.\nAnalysis from government number crunchers at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services concluded that the law will help insure 30 million Americans who currently lack coverage, while increasing health costs by 0.1 percent more than what would have been expected without the overhaul.\nThe report from the CMS Office of the Actuary projected that health expenses will rise 5.8 percent annually over the next decade — 1.1 percent higher than anticipated economic growth.\nThat kind of growth will mean the nation’s total health tab will come close to $4.6 trillion in 2020, accounting for about one-fifth of the U.S. gross domestic product.\nAccording to the report, the federal government’s share of the bill is likely to increase from 27 percent in 2009 to 31 percent by 2020. Add to that expenses incurred by local governments and states, and the overall government portion of health care comes in at 49 percent, according to the report.\nEven so, the study found that last year’s national health spending grew at 3.9 percent — the slowest rate ever recorded, and one that was probably due to the lingering effects of the recession. When millions of Americans lost their jobs and health insurance, they were forced to skip pricey but needed medical procedures and drugs. As the economy recovers, that rate is expected to bounce back.\nIn 2014, when the major coverage expansions take effect, health spending will probably surge to 8.3 percent as 30 million additional Americans gain coverage through Medicaid and private insurance plans, the report concludes. But the rate is expected to drop back to 6.2 percent in the second half of the decade as cost-control mechanisms of the reform law begin to take hold.\nAmerica’s continually expanding health care costs can generally be traced to a variety of factors, including a growing and aging population, increased Medicare enrollment and expensive medical innovations.\nBut many of those forced to sign up for coverage under the reform law will be younger, healthy Americans who don’t need the high-dollar treatments. For that reason, health insurance coverage, prescription drugs, and physician visits will likely grow in the next 10 years at a faster pace than hospital costs. Spending on prescription drugs alone is expected to increase by about 5 percentage points in 2014, to 10.7 percent. And with better access to needed drugs for preventive care, costs for expensive emergency treatments are also expected to dip.\nDemocrats and liberal groups warmly embraced that view Thursday.\nRon Pollack, executive director of Families USA, said he was “absolutely delighted” with the findings.\nShe added that other provisions of the health reform law — such as Accountable Care Organizations, which will aim to bring down costs by getting doctors and hospitals to coordinate care — were not considered in the report.\n“We know these new provisions will save money for the health care system, even if today’s report doesn’t credit these strategies with reducing costs,” she wrote.\nKathryn Nix, a policy analyst with the conservative Heritage Foundation, interpreted the numbers much differently. She noted that the same CMS actuaries behind Thursday’s report have warned that the cost-cutting measures embedded in the health care reform law may turn out to be unsustainable if the reform law does not move ahead as written. If planned cuts to providers go forward, for example, many doctors may stop accepting Medicare and Medicaid, and that might force lawmakers to reverse course, she said.
Google's Nexus 7 tablet has just been released, and for only $199, it seems like a great deal. Now, some of you are probably immediately thinking that you're going to want to root this thing as soon as possible to install all of your tweaks. Luckily, some clever hackers have already developed a fairly automated solution to rooting the device. Here's how it works.\nA word of caution however, rooting your tablet will very much void the warranty and there's no 100% guarantee that this procedure will work, so proceed at your own risk!\nSave your contacts, SMS, MMS, settings, and anything else you'd like to keep to an external device. The data on your device will most likely be erased.\nNote your tablet's model by going to Settings --> About Tablet --> Build Number. Write this down, you will need it later.\nThen, go back to Settings and slide the Developer Options to On. Also check the box next to USB debugging.\nFind and download the Nexus 7 Toolkit. It's currently available right here. Once you've downloaded it, launch it on a Windows PC (make sure you run it as an administrator), then connect your Nexus 7 tablet via USB.\nIn the Nexus 7 Toolkit application, press the Change button and choose the model of your tablet.\nThen click on Full Driver Installation Guide – Automatic + Manual. Follow the steps given in the program, this may take several tries, but be absolutely sure not to unplug the device before it is successful.\nSelect the Unlock button and confirm that you want to unlock the bootloader. Wait until your tablet automatically restarts into Bootloader Mode. When asked if you want to "Unlock Bootloader," press your tablet's power button. It should then reboot again.\nIf you want to install custom recovery software, do so now. If you want to use Clockwork Recovery, select Permanent CWM below the Root option; if you wish to install Team Win Recovery Project, choose Do Not Flash CWM. Do some research on both options and decide which you would prefer.\nNow you can select the Root button to begin the next stage of the process. Your tablet should automatically reboot. Once it has, wait until the Nexus 7 Toolkit prompts you to check for Super User and install Busybox. If your tablet reboots itself, wait until the program finishes installing the rooting files. Then you can unplug the tablet, launch the Superuser application to update the binaries, and launch BusyBox to grant root access.\nIf you'd like to see this process in video form, here's a handy video by Brad Linder.
