SINGAPORE - An unemployed man forged a doctor's signature on a document to certify that he was "permanently unfit for work'' so as to get long-term financial aid.
Liu Tianfu admitted to forging a Medical Certification of Work Status by fraudulently signing the certificate with the intention of using it to cheat the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF). Liu forged the signature of Dr Lee Yu Wei in February.
Liu, 40, also admitted to a second charge of causing alarm to a management executive with Khoo Teck Puat Hospital by sending her an abusive e-mail, telling her to "commit suicide" last October.
The hospital employee had been instructed to follow up with Liu on an outstanding hospital bill dated Aug 19, 2016.
She sent him an e-mail on Oct 24 the same year, asking for his Medical Financial Assistance Card.
He replied four days later and wrote: "Please solve the problem yourself. If you feel and think like dying, just go ahead and commit suicide. Don't resist your heart's desire and feelings to die. I mean We are all Democratic society and Government so just die for the sake of Mankind and World Peace... and I do NOT wish to hear from you again hor."
On Friday (Dec 15), Liu was sentenced to seven months and 22 days in jail. The 22-day sentence was imposed as he was subject to a remission order made by the Commissioner of Prisons, and had breached a condition due to his re-offending on Oct 28, 2016.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Tan Weiming said Liu approached the MSF on Feb 6, 2017 to renew his financial aid under a social service assistance scheme. He was instructed to go for a medical review, and given the certificate to be filled up by the attending doctor.
But he forged Dr Lee's signature, as well as fraudulently added his name stamp and ticked the box which states "permanently unfit for work". He later submitted the document to MSF, which approved his application.
Some time in late February, the MSF manager contacted the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) to clarify Liu's work status.
Dr Lee, who was no longer working in IMH by then, lodged a police report on Feb 28, alleging that Liu had forged the certificate.
DPP Tan said that as a result, MSF paid $340 each month to Liu from March to July, and $360 in August. The total amount paid was $2,060.
Had Liu's deception not been discovered, he would have continued to receive $360 a month, the DPP added.
Liu, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, could have been jailed for up to 10 years and fined for forgery. For the repeat offence under the Protection from Harassment Act, he could have been fined up to $10,000 and/or jailed for up to 12 months. |

Petra: A Must-See Before You Die
Unknown to the Western world until 1812 (and to popular culture until 1989 thanks to Indiana Jones), Petra was “discovered” by Sheikh Ibrahim Ibn Abdallah, or Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, as his friends liked to call him back in his ‘hood in Switzerland.
Today, this Nabataean caravan-city is one of the seven new wonders of the world, and is truly one of those boxes you need to check off of places to see before you die.
Not one for getting a little sweaty and dirty on your trips? Petra’s probably not for you, as is described in this article in the Telegraph. “The sheer scale of the site makes the most lasting impact. It spreads over seven square miles, and its sand and limestone geology upstages even the blurred, wind-eroded grandeur of the rock hewn, classical tomb and temple façades.”
I re-watched “The English Patient” this weekend (and I’m not ashamed to admit it), and every time I do, it makes me want to visit the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East more and more, despite the fact that the main characters end up dying as the result of a plane crash, horrific internal injuries, and fatally severe skin burns. What can I say, I’m a romantic? |
I have a 7D and took a sample video yesterday in 720p (I knew 1080p would be too much for my computer!). I'm actually using a fairly old Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop which is maxed out at 2GB RAM. Viewing my video back in .mov format in QuickTime was PAINFUL! Soooo choppy.What would I need in a new computer? I'd plan on getting a desktop; my laptop is fine for travel and isn't worth anything to sell. So a desktop makes more sense. Plus, better for photo editing, etc.How much RAM? What other features would I need to view and EDIT videos?
When buying computers get the best spec you can afford. An i7 with 8 GB of ram would be nice and a reputable video card (Nvidia) with at least 1 Gb on board should make short work of most things. A fast hard drive is also a benefit.
John SimsCanon 60D, 30D, 10D, AE1 & some other stuff
Buy as much ram as possible. It makes more difference than anything. I use 32gb to edit on Premiere cs6 and when I use After Effects as well it easily uses 1/2 that ram for a big project.An SSD to run your OS and main programs is also very effective. At current prices there is no reason to not have one as your main drive and a 7200rpm drive for video storage. 128gb ssd should be the minimum, get a 256gb if you can afford it.An intel i7 chip will help speed up transcoding and rendering.Adobe CS5 and CS6 uses modern video cards to speed up various tasks. Check out Adobe's site for compatibility, though hacks are available to get non-listed cards to work, rule of thumb is to get nVidia.Most other stuff won't make much difference, but a USB 3.0 card reader is nice to have.
for a bit of savings you could always look at getting;AMD 8-Core FX-8150 CPU instead of Core i5/i7good MoBoAT LEAST 16Gb RAMa 10k RPM HDD for OS/SW vs SSD..I use the WD Velociraptor 450Gb, was ~$100..way more room than an SSD for the $, and still very fast..I built my own processing/editing desktop using these parts above...everything I used was highly rated on Newegg or Amazon(everything was purchased through these companies, great prices and rep). I am able to run 1080p all day long and never have choppy ANYthing. my brand new ($800) core i5 laptop cannot even touch it. And I built this desktop for ~$800...It is brilliant. I am very happy with it.in case you want actual parts/numbers to compare..(some may be outdated as this is about 4-5 months old..which is ancient in tech time lol)MoBo linkRAM (x2 if needed) linkAMD FX-8120(the one I have, but is slightly lower model than the new 8150, or whatever has replaced it since..) linkTower(this tower is SERIOUS...honestly, I have never seen this high of quality in anything in this price range..imho-brilliant!) linkPS linkGPU (now discontinued) linkHonestly, these are worth EVERY penny too...keeps this MASSIVE "heater" of a PC running cool. I have three and when at LESS than 50%, it sounds like a jet is in my office...my wife freaks out all the time when she hears it...even months later lollinkGoes perfect with this, and this also fits the tower above PERFECTLY, like it was made for it linkAdd it up, it is right ~$800...no monitor..had those already..along with OS and SW..and a couple HDDs..so the price will go up if you need these..even if you need to purchase everything, to do it 'right', I think this would be the minimal for an 'on the cheap' route...if you want Intel i7,etc expect to pay a bit more. FWIW, from my experience the AMD 8-core is as fast, or slightly faster, than the quad-core i7..Also, I would highly recommend dual monitors...of ~21-24" each..it really helps when editing video..I have a 23" and a 15" and will be replacing the 15" with another 23" of the same make(Samsung) as soon as the wife lets me This combo of equipment simply amazes me how high quality, and how reliable it has been(knock on wood!)I have a very good friend that builds and fixes PCs for a living, he recommended some of these items, I am VERY glad I listened to him.. All of this is IMHO and AFAIK and YMMV lol Good luck!

as others have said, ram, ram, ram. As much as you can get. Fast drives. 7200 or 10k if you dont mind the sound of some of them.
Stuff : | : : | : - Joe was definitely right about adding contrast...
Review the requirements published by your NLE vendor. Graphics card requirements may vary, e.g. some software may utilize the GPU onboard processing capabilities whereas another may depend more on the CPU. Most editors keep the data on external drives so look at options that maximize performance and throughput on your external drive subsystem.
Many professinals rely on apple based systems for a more "one time purchase" type of deal. You wont really have many upgrade options down the raod with say, an iMac, but they work great for folks that are not too interested in all the customization and upgrades.
processor and ram is the most crucial for encoding.you are going to want fast HDD at least 7200rpm honestly getting a 10,000 rpm HDD is overkill unless time is an extreme issuefor $800 i just upgraded to a i7-3770, 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD, middle of the road motherboard, with a case and dvd drive. already owned a video card and monitor.my new computer renders/encodes lightning fast assuming i dont pile up adjustment layers too much. but an i7 processor handles video extremely welli highly suggest looking at the deals that microcenter has every month. i got my parts there and the deals are pretty incredible
All you need is a MacBook pro!
not too sound like a fanboy, but my '11 i7 mbp with a 256gb SSD and 750GB HD for storage is more than enough for me to run premiere cs6 and after-effects without a hitch.

I hope not. I just wanted to let the OP know what kind of specs he should look for in a cpu. I will say a SSD is a must not matter what system you go with. BTW, I use both systems for my business.

Ogbono and okra is a Nigerian dish made with ground Okro and Ogbono seeds (Wild African Mango). It is a combination of two (2) local draw soups. Ogbono and Okra soups are of the Igbo origin and can be served with numerous Nigerian swallow meals including Eba (garri), fufu etc.
How to cook Ogbono?
There are several methods in which ogbono can be prepared, but I prefer the boiling method, my experience with the frying method was unpleasant, so I resorted to boiling which hasn’t failed me. Adding grounded melon (egusi) to the ogbono gives it an attractive look as shown in the image.
Combining Ogbono with Okro?
Ogbono and Okro is a very popular soup and the method of preparation varies from different tribes. People have upgraded from the traditional method of preparing both local soups, different twist is being added. Like combining both soups to make a tasty dish! Traditionally, stock fish is usually the star of both dishes but with the modern cooking style, different things are being incorporated. Pumpkin, Bitter or Basil leaves are the most common vegetables used, but if choose to use spinach be sure to squeeze out excess water.
INGREDIENTS FOR THIS RECIPE
Ingredients
½ cup of grounded Ogbono
1 cup of grated Okro
1 cup of shredded pumpkin leaves
2 tablespoon of melon grounded with crayfish and stock fish
½ cup of red oil
½ tea spoon of turmeric powder (optional)
2 table spoon of chilli powder
Ikg of goat meat
½ kg of chicken
Stock fish
1 seasoning cube
Salt to taste
Instructions
Thoroughly wash the goat meat, chicken and stock fish.
Soak the stock fish in water to make it tender.
Using the above listed measurements, fill an empty pot with the goat meat, add chopped onions, turmeric powder, chilli pepper, some seasoning and salt to taste and bring to a boil for four (4) minutes.
Add the chicken and the pre-soaked stock fish and bring to a boil for seven/ten (7-10) minutes. Additional water and seasoning can be added if necessary.
While that is cooking;
In a clean bowl, add the grounded Ogbono with two (2) table spoon of grounded melon mixed stock fish and crayfish, add some palm oil and thoroughly mix together.
Add the mixture to the pot, give it a thorough stir and allow it cook for two (2) minutes. To retain the slimy consistency, do not cover the pot after the ogbono has been added. I bet you still want to retain the thickness!
Add the grated Okro, give it a quick stir and allow it cook for about two/three (2-3) minutes.
Add the finely shredded pumpkin leaves and give it a final stir, so that all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Allow it cook for about two (2) minutes.
Do not forget to taste for seasoning.
Turn off heat immediately.
Notes
Stock fish is usually dry and hard, it is advisable to soak it in water for hours before cooking. When boiling meat, additional water is not required because meat brings out some juice as it is being cooked. Do not boil your meat with the chicken at the same time because chicken cooks quicker. This is not the only step in making Ogbono and Okra soup. You can fry the Ogbono before adding the ingredients. Adding grounded melon is a secret I am happy to share; it gives the Ogbono a unique taste and attractive look. Keep the secret safe. Winks* For those who don’t like Okro and pumpkin or either of both, you can skip the step or vice versa. Additional water is advised if the Ogbono is too thickened, the more you add water, the more you taste for seasoning. Excess water is not required as the pumpkin leaves tend to bring out its own juice when being cooked. To retain the slimy consistency, it is advised to control the amount of water added. |
Arriving as rapidly as doable to the positioning of a medical emergency is a important objective for any paramedic. It might be straightforward sufficient in city and even rural areas, however when somebody is caught excessive up a mountain there are sometimes no expedient choices. Drones could supply assist in sure circumstances, reminiscent of delivering external defibrillators for bystanders to make use of, however nothing can substitute having an expert medic onsite.
England’s Nice North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS), which operates in areas the place folks go mountaineering by way of distant terrains, is now testing a jet go well with as a solution to get paramedics rapidly to only about wherever. The areas coated by GNAAS are very hilly, rocky, and largely missing timber. Helicopters can fly round however touchdown is usually an enormous problem due to the uneven surfaces.
The group partnered with Gravity Industries, an organization that develops jet fits, to check out the expertise for emergency medical purposes and as seen in the next video, there’s clearly an excessive amount of potential.
Within the experiment, “stricken” people have been situated a couple of 25 minute hike up a hill. Utilizing the jet go well with, a paramedic was capable of attain them in lower than two minutes, simply touchdown close by on a rocky floor.
The jet go well with used has 5 generators that generate greater than 1,000 horsepower. It might probably attain 85 miles per hour and might be powered utilizing both jet gas or diesel.
Right here’s a video exhibiting how a jet go well with paramedic would help a medical emergency:

So my last trimester of pregnancy was my most action packed one, in more ways then one. I was on sick leave – as per the doctor’s orders – and was getting a little scared. My blood pressure was rising as well as my little Pixie’s inside of me. But considering what was going on outside of the womb, I guess it was to be expected.
The Moron was in full force the last couple of months of the pregnancy. I can only assume it was the encroaching responsibility of a little person, and the increase of $$ it would mean bringing one into this world. Yep, probably the money thing, sad really that the Moron’s nemesis was some printed paper.
As I was resting – as per doctor’s orders – and of course worrying about the health of my lil Pixie, the Moron was trying to get me to get a job under the table. I wasn’t paying my way, you see.
As I was trying to figure out how to make some money (with all of my muscles in my stomach and abdomen – and some I didn’t know I even had – were in agony) the Moron went into the studio and sold things for super cheap. All of my art and creative musings, “ Five bucks, everything for five bucks” he would tell customers.
As I was selling all my prized possessions, and all that gave me some joy (such as my dirt bike, which he threw in my hand painted helmet for free to the new owner) the Moron said we had to sell my car and go down to one vehicle.
Let me explain that we lived about 30 minutes from the nearest town (population 2500) and about 1 1/2 – 2 hours from the closest “real” town (ie working hospital). Being home alone – let alone with a newborn baby – without a vehicle would be absolutely crazy, not to mention unsafe.
The Moron earned a really good income, but it was considered “HIS” money. Up until this point, I didn’t care about that, being a non-materialistic person that I am. I think he just couldn’t overcome the struggle of being out o control of every situation. And let me tell you – babies will do that to you. You really have no control over them, they have their own way :)
I loved my SUV – and I HAD BOUGHT IT MYSELF, but, I had a small amount left owing on it, and no idea how I could pay that off as the Moron refused to help me, and my maternity would not cover that expense as well as pay for all of the new baby stuff. This is what angered the Moron. And the closer I came to my due date, the more outraged he became. With my savings blown from the bathroom, I had nowhere left to turn, and I started to spiral downwards.
I think as the Moron stepped up the Emotional and Financial Abuse, I felt more and more trapped, and realized that this was no way for a child to be raised. I started to see the light. I think the whole time that this little entity was growing inside of me, my innerself was also growing – growing stronger, growing wiser, growing more authentic. I think the Moron could sense me pulling away, could sense something happening on a level he could not understand. But he had to step it up, as losing was not an option for him. The Moron would joke about killing me in my final month, but salvaging the baby – and I would never get to meet her. He would joke about hiring OJ Simpson’s lawyer to get him off.
The Moron’s depression/anger reached its heightened state when he told me that if I ever left him, he would kill me and take the Pixie away from me forever…
This fear that was instilled in me – is still there. That is something that will never leave you, no matter what is said and done. Some things can never be undone. You can live through them, work through them, but it is always there...

my heart aches for you. What a horrible person he is.
oh. wow.
when my kids were little, I was scared stiff that my ex would pack up on his days with the kids and take them across the country to where his parents lived at the time. but, he never threatened to kill me. or them. and, I knew where his parents lived :-)
I'm sick to my stomach at the thought of what you went through with this asshole.
Oh, I so hope you are in a safe place and he doesn't know where you are. I didn't even have those threats made to me and my heart jumped out of my chest the other day when there was an unexpected knock at my door. These kind of men work hard to isolate you so they have more control. I'm so glad you are out of that situation. I hope you got your fair share in the divorce...
Suzie, your Moron sounds like he is just unable to express his emotions - like he is emotionally stunted. Scary thing is his temper tantrums have increased to adult proportions, although his emotional state remains in infancy. I am glad you are out. I know it's of little consequence, but the Moron will get what's coming to him, and it sounds like he has little going for him, like my Moron, he is envious of the amazing person that you are :)
I just went numb reading this. I can't even comment about him without saying something pretty f*&^ed up, so I will not even dwell on him. I'm glad you're okay.
oh the emotions this triggers in me (mine didn't threaten to harm me, but he threatened to kill himself). all i can say is that i wish i could give you a hug and that i am so glad you (and i, and the rest of us who broke free from Morons) don't have to live this anymore.
yes, we are. hopefully we can help others from falling into this trap!
Thank you, and yes I am, now :)
Yes I am amazing aren't I ?!?! LOL!!! Yep, you definitely got that right, The Moron is an immature doofus!
Unfortunately having a child with a Moron, and our current court systems do not allow such things, that any rational human would think. Instead I focus on the positives and do not allow this Moron to control my thoughts or my being...the best that I can.
The key is that I survived, and that I will no longer allow any one to treat me this way again!
I feel sorry for him, and his pathetic little life...
The court systems really aren't your ally when dealing with a manipulative Moron and very minimal finances...
It took me awhile to read this post because your stories of abuse touch me in a personal way. I find places in my heart that have not healed when I read your posts. But after I am done reading I am stronger and even more determined to fight for complete Empowered Peace!
What a Moron! Man, I am glad you are rid of this moron and using this kind of outlet. Good for you, I love your blog!
Hi there. Hope all is well with you. No update for a while. Getting worried. I thought you might enjoy this post:
It must have been hard going through your pregnancy with that kind of support system. (Or lack thereof) I hope you will be able to one overcome that fear that's stuck with you.
I am finding this particular story hard to get out, and think that is partly why it has taken me so long to finish it. But The pixie is ultimately the reason i was able to leave - she gave me the strength to, so it's funny how life comes full circle...
I too realise where I need to do more healing work. Sending us both strength and wisdom for ourselves and others to learn from...
I am so glad that you are out :)
They have a way of doing that don't they? We give them life (birth) but they end up saving ours...
I am not sure if you ever overcome it, but more learn to live with it and not let it overcome you.
Hi Doreen, just been so busy... thanks for caring :)
Thanks Theresa. Life is one huge learning curve...
absolutely. I needed a few more month to be able to act on it but I had a moment of absolute clarity when it became clear that he had NO consideration for a baby's present (basically drumming his fists on my back as our child stood in the playpen watching. and screaming.). enough.
I am so proud of YOU. That must have taken a lot of courage and strength. And most of all love for your child.

The nation of Croatia that will be formally called as “Republika Hrvatska”, is located in south-central Europe from the Adriatic shore’s neighboring region. From the category of the Balkan countries, it’s located in the west-central section. Croatia’s major lands incorporate the Croatia appropriate, Istria (bulk of its land area), Slavonia, and Dalmatia. The nation is divided into 21 administrative constituencies. Its shoreline, which is excellent for sailing, stretches up to 3,000 mph.
If you would like to sail into Croatia’s southern areas, start your travels at the port of Dubrovnik. It’s one of Croatia’s most visited tourist attractions, notably by yacht fans, due to its close proximity to Adriatic Sea. The town of Dubrovnik, which has a population of approximately 45,000, is also a cultural centre due to its medieval urban partitions, historical Rector Palace, and remarkable traditional convents. I strongly advise that you take a few days of your journey and keep at a local hotel in town. As a general guide you should respect Split to Dubrovnik at a minimum of a one week trip and let fourteen days if you would like to start and complete in precisely the exact same marina.
Besides Dubrovnik, Unterkünfte in Kroatien comprise the vents of Zadar, Baska Voda, Vodice, Split, Pula, Biograd, Kastela, Porec, Rovinj, and Marina.
Pula is a town located in the nation’s northwest region across the Adriatic Sea. It has a population of about 58,000 individuals. Pula is among Croatia’s leading port locations. It’s also an industrial centre. The town is extremely Roman in tradition and culture since it was a former colony of Rome at 178 B.C. Currently, Pula has preserved some of its early Roman architectures. The most famous are the Roma and Augustus temples built during the 1st century A.D., the Arch of the Sergii, along with the Porta Aurea triumphal arch assembled in 1st century B.C. Apart from that, the trendy blue beaches of town has produced Pula a very attractive tourist centre in the nation. |
Yet one more thing Kier failed to do
To put things into perspective here, I was paying Kier a fee of 7% per month, for their management of this building. The building's gross monthly income was just under $10,000. which placed the fee I paid Kier at around $700. per month, plus repairs and maintenance fees. Contractually, Kier was required to notify me of any budget shortfalls by the 10th of the following month._____________________________________________________________
Q: How many times did Kier breach this provision, of a contract they authored,
in order to accrue a $16,000 shortfall?
A: More times than what can be considered as, "an oversight".
______________________________________________________________
Apparently, Kier's request to terminate our contract had come none too soon, because I found out on November 29, exactly how they had been managing and maintaining my building for the 4 years that I employed them to do so.
On November 29, 2009, I drove to Utah to hire another management company to take over the building. What I saw when I pulled up in front of the building, made me sick to my stomach.
In just 4-years, this once beautiful historic landmark had become a run-down, dilapidated slum,
filled with system abusing slobs that had nearly destroyed it
There was not one window screen left on the building that wasn't damaged or destroyed; One unit had 5, large plate glass windows broken out of it and had been left that way by Kier for more than 2 months; The security entry lock for the north lobby had been vandalized and had been inoperable for more than 3 months; There was (O13) gang related graffiti all over the building; The security and closed circuit camera system that was working perfectly when I bought the building, had been all but destroyed, with most of the building's 8 cameras either vandalized or stolen; One unit's kitchen faucet was stuck in the full-on position and according to the tenant, had been that way for over a year; There was an obscene amount of pigeon droppings piled high on every horizontal surface of the building; The eaves of the building had become so deteriorated from water damage and dry rot, that large pieces had fallen off the building, some nearly striking tenants as they fell; Some of the tenant's were dealing drugs right from their apartments; Five tenants had occupants living in their units that were not authorized by HUD or the Ogden Housing Authority; One tenant was using her urine and feces soaked unit as a pit-bull puppy mill and the common areas of the building literally looked like the city dump.
At the time, I had intended to hire Froerer Real Estate and Management to replace Kier and take over the management of the building. After spending several hours at the building, Froerer representative, Troy Green, declined to take on the building, due in part to the significant amount of deferred maintenance and the severely dilapidated condition of the building.
These rooms were a disaster. Trash, supplies and equipment were strewn from one end of them to the other. The rooms were such a mess, that it was difficult to tell what was trash and what wasn't. (as you can see)
The ceiling had collapsed and fallen onto the boiler, as a result of one of the 81 water pipe breaks over the previous 4 years (yes... that was 81)... most of which Kier never even told me about.
Rather than cleaning up the mess, Kier just left the debris where it fell, which significantly reduced the boiler's air intake ability. (Remember, this was November... The boiler was ON and VERY HOT).
Most of the insulation around the boiler's return pipes had been removed. Allowing cooled water to re-enter a red hot boiler is the fastest way to shorten its life expectancy.
The same was true for the building's water heater, (which I later found out had been illegally vented, exposing the residents to a 100% back-flow of carbon monoxide into the building, for 8-years) Ceiling debris had fallen onto the top of the water heater and storage tank, and there it remained.
A large supply of 'kindling', in the form of plywood, wood siding, vinyl window screens and other flammable materials had also been stacked up next to the boiler's furnace box, creating a significant fire hazard. (ref. contract paragraph re: maintenance and repair)This Blog stores documentation of Kier's mismanagement and neglect of this property and the tenants who lived there...
The next post is a blanket response to an article about the Ogden Housing Authority's wrongful termination of my housing assistance contract with HUD, that was published in the Standard Examiner.

The supply chain issues created by the COVID-19 pandemic are challenging businesses in ways they have never considered. Some of these changes will — and probably should — remain in place after the immediate crisis is over. This means businesses need to react to what is happening today at the same time they are developing steps to be proactive moving forward, after this emergency is over.
Here are five issues to consider. Keep in mind that this list isn’t intended to be definitive. Each business will have to adjust it to meet its specific needs.
Review your cash flow. Most businesses are going to take a hit in their cash flow, if they haven’t already.
- Are lines of credit in place to get you through the hard times? If they aren’t, think about how you can shore up your available resources in the interim and whether your financials are strong enough for you to secure additional financing going forward.
- Assess where in the supply and distribution process cash flow issues arise and consider whether you can make changes that will help alleviate any bottlenecks.
Analyze your supply and distribution chains. In a global economy, a problem halfway around the world can affect you before you even know it.
- If you get supplies from a single supplier, determine whether other suppliers are available. If they are, start developing relationships with those suppliers so you can diversify your supply chain going forward.
- Is it possible to make substitutions? Keep in mind that alternate sources may be available for some raw materials or components and not for others. Where feasible, source suppliers for the alternative item.
- Review distribution as well. Are alternate means of transportation available?
Review your supply and demand forecasts. You don’t have a crystal ball, but use what you have to make predictions.
- Short-, mid- and long-term analyses should be undertaken.
- Utilize all available sources for these analyses, including statistics drawn from internal data, market intelligence and conversations with buyers at all levels.
- Don’t make hasty decisions in response to an immediate crisis. Be sure any changes you make are strategic and well thought out.
Assess your HR policies and procedures. Don’t forget that your employees are your most important resource.
- Do you have a current chain of command in place? How often is the list updated?
- Is a process in place to notify employees of urgent changes, such as closures or how to gain remote access to necessary systems and information?
- Does your sick leave policy take crises such as COVID-19 into consideration?
- How about your policy for paying employees?
Crisis communications are key. Openness and transparency are the key to retaining staff, clients and customers. Communications need to be frequent, with frequency and messaging adjusted for each audience. Managing expectations is vital. It may not be enough to say “We are here for you” — each of your audiences wants to understand what you’re going to do to help them get through their particular crises.

As you begin to take more of your learning online, it is important to recognize the dividing line between so-called, “recreational” use of the internet and the need for an appropriateness in an academic and refined use of the internet for school and/or work. The idea of digital citizenship has numerous definitions and explanations, but simply put:
“the self-monitored habits that sustain and improve the digital communities you enjoy or depend on.”
-Terry Heick, “The Definition of Digital Citizenship,” TeachThought.com
The idea of “self-monitored” habits exists because it is each individual’s obligation to take responsibility for their actions and use of the internet. Likewise, there is an obligation to improve the digital communities in which in engage so that they remain safe and sustainable for future digital citizens.
Please use the infographic below as a resource as you take to curating your digital portfolios and expanding your presence on the internet throughout your classes.

As you will probably have seen from my instagram, I was lucky enough to get to meet and be styled by Rihanna for the Rihanna for River Island A/W launch on Tuesday. I am still in shock really, but I explain a little bit more about the day in my little vlog down below!
I was styled in this outfit, although I threw on my cap and bag with it just to add a bit more to it in these photos. I was lucky enough to keep these items which I am so happy about as the bra has already sold out! And the shoes are around £120?! So I am super grateful! I love the boyfriend jeans and literally everything about this outfit is so 'one' she got it so spot on when styling everyone!!
Rihanna For River Island 'G4Life' Bra, River Island (£15)
Rihanna For River Island Boyfriend Jeans, River Island
Rihanna For River Island Military Boot Heels, River Island (£120)
Rich Fashion Advisory Explicit Content Large Clutch Bag, Ebay - £30
Boy London Cap, Ebay - £11.99
This video gives you a little bit more of a feel of what happened! I feel bad I didn't vlog or anything during my time but to be honest I was just starstruck! I was at one point just stood next to Cara Delevigne which was madness in itself!
Rihanna in person is amazing, she has such an input into the collection and theres tonnes of behind the scenes stuff here, and her amazing advert here for the collection If you fancy winning this goodybag which I got at the event, please enter! It's open internationally and is open for a week :-) I wasn't asked to give this away or anything, but I wanted to give it to one of you guys to say thanks just for everything over the past few weeks - you guys have been amazingly supportive :-) <3
a Rafflecopter giveaway
It is open internationally!
My highlight of the day was Rihanna telling me I 'had a banging body' and that I was 'beautiful'.. whaaat! I couldn't believe it either! When I was posing for the camera she then turned to her friend and started shouting 'I need you in my next campaign' haha.. guess she likes my modelling? It was all legitimately crazy!
I'm currently pacing for LFW which is tomorrow so this post is very much rushed - so sorry about this!

How to become a Journalist ?

Depending on the type of journalism you should pick a major, so that it will help you learn about that specific type of journalism in detail and will also give you a sense of broader journalistic landscape.

Once you connect with them, tell them a bit about your experience and professional goals and ask them for advice that can help you get started. After meeting the editor or reporter, call them and let them know that you appreciate their time and value the meeting very much. Keep in touch with them and develop a good connection. Editor recruitment agency in UK gives opportunity to students to meet the reporters and connect with them.

Which, I’m told by Google means “let’s party!”.
Mad Mex – whose food I’ve reviewed before – has just opened a brand spanking new location in George St in the city. It’s right near Central Station, and shines like a bright beacon of tasty food right before you descend into the yawning maws of the underground tunnel that leads you to the train station.
The opening night had a more-festive-than-usual atmosphere – balloons, colours, and of course, the food.
But before all that, Clovis Young – founder of Mad Mex – brought us through a course in tequila and salsa.
Part of the flavour of the salsa comes from charred vegetables.
Onions, peppers, and tomatoes are blackened over fire and then chopped up and placed into a blender. Sounds simple? Well, don’t go breaking out the gas stoves just yet.
Fragrant, spicy Mexican chillis are then added to the mixture, giving it a kick that I can only describe as piquant and incredibly addictive. The variety of chillies that are used here really give it a certain something extra, which sets the salsas apart from salsas from other origins that can sometimes taste rather…flat. Apparently, Mad Mex uses about 20,000kg of chillies and 12,000 kg of avocados a year!
Now, onto the juicy bit, THE FOOD!
What seemed like every imaginable condiment was laid out before us while the servers worked in a conveyor-belt-type line to keep hungry people fed.
Clockwise from left: Mad Mex menu, Crispy Tacos, Grande Melt
That night, we had a choice of anything on the menu, and boy did my tummy appreciate it.
Out of everything I had that night, my absolute favourite had to be the Nachos. While the flavour of all the ingredients – and there were some that were pretty common across the board – works together nicely, I liked having the option to just have certain elements on their own. The Burrito was good, as usual, and the Grande Melt deserves special mention – I brought half of it home and it reheated very nicely the next day.
The most obvious thing that I noticed that day was that I didn’t feel overly sick and filled with grease. No, I essentially ate till I dropped and still got away with it! It tasted fresh and light, and while filling, didn’t weigh you down at all! It’s a great change from the typical Mexican fare that can get rather oily and heavy. Especially good for a quick lunch in the city!
Clockwise from left: Clovis Young, founder of Mad Mex, Sean ordering at the counter, the high-energy staff at the George St store.
And what’s a great party without the great people?
There was a mariachi band that night, and friends and family were all invited for a feed. It had great energy that night, and I think it’s great that it was a similarly great energy when I went to the Darlinghurst store previously. No matter how much I like the food, the service is always what I come back for.
Good food, great people – what else could you ask for?

Hyde Candlesticks by Pete Oyler for Assembly
Pete Oyler of American design studio Assembly has created these stacking candle holders from aluminium and brass.
The holders can be used as separates or stacked up in different ways using a hidden connecting plug.
Sand-cast aluminium has been used for the holders and the connecting plug is made from brass.
The Assembly design studio was founded this year by Oyler and Nora Mattingly, and is located between New York City and Western Massachusetts.
See more stories about candle holders »
Here's some more information:
Hyde Candlesticks:
Sand casting has been used by artists and in industry for centuries. Wanting an elegantly raw look, Oyler looked to this age old process for these versatile candlesticks. Sand cast in aluminum, each is slightly different in finish. Featuring a hidden brass plug, these candlesticks can be stacked in myriad ways or used as separates and accommodate a ¾” candle.
Pete Oyler:
A versatile designer and thinker, Pete Oyler's design work has been showcased (inter)nationally. After completing his BA in Art History and Critical Theory, Oyler studied woodworking in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina at Penland School of Crafts. Following his time there, he worked in various studios expanding his technical repertoire to include metal working, concrete casting, and mold making. In 2009 he received his MFA in Furniture Design from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and his thesis body of work won RISD's Award of Excellence. In 2010 Oyler was featured in Surface Magazine’s Avant Guardian issue and in 2012 Oyler was named one of Forbes' top 30 under 30 for Art & Design. |
Struts 2 Framework Tutorial
A framework tries to automate the common tasks and provides a platform for the users to build applications quickly.
Struts 2 is based on the OpenSymphony Web Works Framework.
Struts 2 framework implements the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern.
In Struts 2 the model, view and controller are implemented by the action, result and FilterDispatcher respectively.
The controller's job is to map the user request to appropriate action.
In Struts 2 FilterDispatcher does the job of Controller.
Model contains the data and the business logic.
In Struts 2 the model is implemented by the Action component.
View is the presentation component of the MVC Pattern.
In Struts 2 the view is commonly implemented using JSP, Velocity Template, Freemaker or some other presentation-layer technology.
The controller receives the user request and determine which Struts 2 action to invoke.
The framework creates an instance of this action and associate it with the newly created instance of the ActionInvocation.
In Struts 2 the invocation of action should pass through a series of interceptors as defined in the application's XML file.
The framework calls the ActionInvocations invoke() method to start the execution of the action..
OGNL expression language provides simplified stytax.
When a request comes the params interceptor helps in moving the request data to the ValueStack.
Now the OGNL does the job of converting the string based form data to their corresponding java types. OGNL does this by using the set of available built-in type converters.
Again when the results are generated the OGNL converts the java types of the property on the ValueStack to the string-based HTML output.
ActionContext is thread local which means that the values stored in the ActionContext are unique per thread, this makes the Struts 2 actions thread safe. |

Good evening everyone! Today I have a look to show you that I've seen on a number of blogs recently - a ruffle manicure! If you're interested in trying this yourself you should check out Sarah from Chalkboard Nails' tutorial, it's a simple process with really cool results.
The colours I used were OPI Skull & Glossbones, OPI Alpine Snow, China Glaze Liquid Leather, and China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le.
I wish I had been a little more patient to perfect this look - but from a distance the small mistakes aren't very noticeable.
This is definitely a manicure I want to try again, you could do endless colour combinations.
Something else I wanted to mention - you may have noticed how dry my cuticles have been since moving back home. Unfortunately for my nails, the prairies are dry and ruthless compared to the sweet St Laurence air of Montreal, but I recently picked up some Lush Lemony Flutter and hope to be back on track!
Do you have any experience with this product? |
Chris Brown wondering who Karrueche Tran is dating
Nia Guzman, the mother of Chris Brown's 1-year-old daughter, Royalty Brown, knows his secrets and is using them against him in a bid to get more money from him in child support. Guzman is trying to financially enrich her lifestyle and sees Brown as a means of doing so. Guzman cheated on her husband with Brown and knows some of his secrets (sex secrets included).
Royalty brown and Nia Guzman
Certain information Brown does not want made public, as it would become fodder in the blogs and on social networking. It would also drive a greater wedge between Brown and ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, a woman he is trying to get back, after she dumped him for cheating on her with Guzman.

Youre up! Time to Teach! by Ari Bolden Knazan
I was recently asked by one of my Face Book friends on any tips I could give him on teaching. It seems he will be tackling his first class as a teacher at the end of the week. It got me thinking of my experiences over the years. I can still remember my first classes and how nervous I was.
What I want to provide is a general outline that new teacher can use to teach their first martial art classes. There are of course a ton of variables involved in presentation and that is what some people are gifted and others are average. In my experience, teaching can be a learned skill, refined through time. I have also observed that some people are natural leaders and orators. This goes FAR in the realm of martial arts.
When first taking the journey down the teaching road, you will be nervous. This is natural. Dont think you are the only one who has felt this way. This is what you can do to prepare for this job.
1) Prepare an outline: Take note how long your class is and write down the techniques you PLAN on teaching in your class. Always have more than you could possibly teach in a given period of time. This will allow you to fall back if you happen to get through a lot of what you wanted to cover.
2) Keep it simple. While you may love the rubber guard, x guard or some really cool move or combo, keep you lesson plan brutally simple in the beginning. It will keep your students from asking too many questions which you yourself may not know.
3) Dont teach something you "kinda know" or "saw one time on you tube". Youll get crushed right in the middle of the technique and realize you really dont know it. Your students will suffer for it.
4) Chain you techniques so they make LOGICAL sense to the person learning. Showing a guard break and then flying arm bar right after it will show there is no theme. A Theme is important when you are a "white belt" in teaching. As you get more experienced, you can mix and match and make anything make sense. But this takes time!
5) Speak slowly and clearly. Know where your audience is and make sure they can SEE what you are doing. Dont take for granted that they will get it. Use your verbal skills to further explain what you are doing. Dont rush. Breathe. When I let my blue belts teach a move for the first time, their voices quiver and they speak too fast.
6) Ask your students "do you have any questions?" It will help you refine your skill.
7) Dont be afraid to say " I do not know." This is alien to many people because they dont want to appear weak in front of their audience. Let me tell you something: Not all teachers know everything. However, the GOOD/GREAT ones can trouble shoot right away and figure it out. That takes time...lots of time. It wont come over night.
8) Dont be a robot. Nobody likes listening to a drone with no inflection in his/her voice. Humor and animation goes a long way but this is something you cant fake. That is why some people are naturals and others are not. I have seen world champs who couldnt teach.
9) Be warm and engaging. After you show your techniques, go around and help your students. Make sure you know their names and make your interaction personal. Students will appreciate this.
10) Call them back and show the technique again (and again) if there are problems. When I observe my classes, there are often the same mistakes being done by multiple students. Instead of going around to each one,call them back and show the technique again. It may require you to teach the technique in a DIFFERENT manner. Remember that each person learns differently. Some visual, some audible, some kinetic. I will often tell my students to totally ignore everything I am showing but one part. I will say "everyone just watch my left leg and what it is doing in this movement." That way, they focus on a subtle detail and arent overwhelmed with a bunch of moving limbs.
11) Advanced: As you get better and spend more time teaching people, you will become flexible. I no longer use a written syllabus when teaching. I go in and just do it. And I love every minute of it. Each class is different. Different students, different dynamics. If all my blue belts showed up, I may get crazy and start doing some advanced stuff. My mother always said " know your audience"! True and dynamic teachers are FUN to learn from. That makes retention better. That also makes students want to come back and learn. It is a wonderful cycle that you will benefit from!
I knew at 10 I wanted to teach. I thought I was going to be a high school teacher but my fortunes pushed me to combine my love of martial arts and teaching together. Having spent thousands of hours teaching students and also in front of a video camera, I have had the chance to observe myself over and over. Every TIME I teach, I review in my head after how I can make it better. There is no limit to how far you can advance.
You should also take cues from those teachers you admire or like. We all have aspects of our teacher in our own teaching ability. We then add our own personalities to the mix.
Roll on my friends!

This is not a fruitcake. At least, not in the traditional sense. If anything, I would call it more of a dinner-appropriate cousin of coffee cake. I might even call it a "bachelor cake" if there weren't so many single men these days with knock-out kitchen skills. It really is that easy.
The 1940s gave birth to the tinned tidbits of fruit we now think of as fruit cocktail. A sort of canned version of fruit salad, it seems to have somehow transformed from fancy hotel luncheon course to ubiquitous school lunch fare over the years. At some point along the line there was established an industry standard of particular percentages represented by peaches, pears, pineapple and grapes. To the chagrin of children young and old, there are usually but a scant few maraschino cherry halves to be found – though they are still the crown jewels of the can.
Where did fruit cocktail cake originate? If you have any information as to the the original source, please do tell! This is a recipe that seems to come in roughly three variations, similar, but differentiated primarily by scale of recipe and type of topping or frosting. I have yet to find a point of origin. It is a widely enough known dessert that, if I were to hazard an educated guess, it seems like the type of recipe one might have found on a can of fruit cocktail at some point along the line. My family made it with some frequency in the 1970s and early '80s via my Grandma Munroe who has this same handwritten recipe in her box under the name Fruit Cocktail Pudding. Grandma only notes that it came courtesy of her cousin Muriel sometime during the 1960s – that's about as far back as anyone can figure – and it is still a mystery as to where Muriel acquired it.
So, why this cake, this week? One, because it's springtime and it just seems like an appropriate dessert for these not-too-hot/not-too-cold days between Spring and Summer. Two, because it's my brother's birthday this week and I can't be there to make a giant fuss over it with him. You know, the kind of "fuss" where you feign a big deal about his age and and invite all his friends over for some great food and a few bites of over-the-top cake that nobody really has room for but feels obligated to eat anyway? Yeah, that kind.
But, I can't be there this year, and I couldn't quite think how to successfully send a cake by mail. So, I did the next best thing; I sent him everything he needs to make his own.
Little hiccup, though… my brother isn't much of a cook. Not that he "can't" cook, mind you, it's just that he doesn't do much of it due to the tug of more powerful interests and technical distractions. If I was going to send him a birthday cake with some assembly required, it had better be 1) unbelievably easy and 2) meaningful in some tangible way. In our case, fruit cocktail cake succeeds at both.
Easy. It boasts a simple pantry-ready ingredient list, quick assembly, and the muffin method – a technique which entails no more than a minimalist "stir with a spatula until all combined." There is no greasing the pan, no draining the fruit and no waiting for the cake to cool completely before – oh, heaven forbid – frosting. The gift box currently in route to my dear sibling contains four containers: one with a the dry ingredient mix, one with the topping mix, and a 15 oz. can of fruit cocktail. The fourth container is a proper 2 quart glass casserole dish to bake it in. The only items he'll have to procure are a single solitary chicken egg and a 8 oz. carton of whipping cream. (Sorry, bro, you're on your own with the perishables.) I thought for a moment about risking the inclusion of aerosol-cream-in-a-can but "too sweet," "refrigeration required," and "probably illegal according to the USPS" stopped me short.
Meaningful. This is one of two desserts our dad baked pretty regularly when we were kids. Mom did most of the day-to-day cooking, but Dad was pretty handy in the kitchen when he wanted to be and the fact that he was usually the one to bake this dessert pretty much solidified it as "his" in our young minds. In addition to the fast assembly, it is quick to the table when out of the oven, thus providing a pleasing kind of instant gratification to back up the delicious aroma. Also, I'm going to bet my brother hasn't eaten this in at least a decade and I'm all too happy to provide this edible little walk down memory lane.
So, there it is… off today in the mail is a box of ingredients that will hopefully conjure some happy recollections of those childhood days when Dad threw together a sweet, warm and comforting little cake as a random weeknight treat. Happy birthday, little brother. I hope your day brings with it all kinds of delicious and wonderful memories, both new ones to be made and old ones to be savored!
Fruit Cocktail Cake (as per my hand-scribed vintage 1970's recipe card)
Sift together:
1 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
Dash of salt [I use 2 pinches of kosher salt.]
Add:
1 egg, slightly beaten [Just drop it on top of the dry ingredients and slash it a few times.]
1 can (2 cups) fruit cocktail [Do not drain! I use a 15 oz. can of regular fruit cocktail – fruit juice sweetened.] *
Mix together. [In a mixing bowl, fold and stir together gently with a spatula until all the ingredients are just wet and incorporated.] Pour into ungreased 8x8 square pan. [We have always used a glass baking dish.] Cover with topping. [It will look like a lot, but a good half of the layer will be absorbed into the cake as it rises. The remainder will create a bit of a crumb topping.]
Topping:
1 cup brown sugar [One cup "packed" is an ungodly amount. I actually use 1/2-2/3 cup packed and then fluffed it up with a fork.]
1/2 cup chopped nuts [My vote is for pecans, but us what you have or prefer.]
Bake in 300º F oven for 45 minutes.
Serve warm, topped with generous dollop of freshly whipped cream. [Whipping up eight ounces of heavy cream with just a teaspoon or so of sugar is well worth the three minutes it takes. Plus, this will give you something to do while you're waiting for the cake to cool just a bit!]
Serves 4-6
* Note: If you have any maraschino cherries around, you might want to add a few extra halves to the batter, the canned fruit cocktail really skimps on those, and the "added cherry" varieties usually have cherry "flavored" syrup, too, which could make your cake pink. Your inner child, or actual children, will thank you – hopefully without their mouths full.
I grew up knowing that as dump cake, except instead of the fancy from-scratch stuff, we used a yellow cake mix. Yours looks yummy!
Melanie, referring to this as "fancy from-scratch" made me laugh! It's almost easier than opening a cake mix box. :)
I totally count the cake mix way (AKA Dump Cake) as a variation. There is another variation out there with about twice the batter to the one can of fruit cocktail, and another which has a cooked frosting and may involve coconut. I think I'll stick with this version – but if I have some flake coconut laying around one of these days, some of it might accidentally end up in this cake. |
SAN ANTONIO -- line.
Hammon, who is retiring after 16 seasons, had 12 points and four assists in her final WNBA game. She received a standing ovation and warm wishes from Minnesota's players.
Hammon will become the first woman to serve as a full-time NBA assistant coach, joining the San Antonio Spurs.
The Stars appeared ready to extend Hammon's career by getting off to a fast start and stifling the Lynx defensively. San Antonio scored the game's first seven points and went on to a 22-4 lead.
Minnesota rallied midway through the second quarter, sparked by coach Cheryl Reeve's frustration with the officiating crew.
After her pleas for a call from official Amy Bonner weren't answered, Reeve turned to WNBA chief of basketball operations Renee Brown and said, "(Danielle) Adams is in the lane for 10 seconds and they are not calling it."
aggressiveness.
"Lindsay got us going in the second quarter when she had enough of the way we were playing," Reeve said. "She was contagious in such a positive way."

Berat Albayrak, the first Treasury and Finance Minister in the new presidential governance system, yesterday elaborated on the monetary and fiscal policy that is set to be implemented. Albayrak assured the markets that the independence of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) and its decision-making mechanisms cannot be the subjects of speculation. He added that the bank will carry out the policies required by market conditions. In addition to the implementation of policies and reforms required by market dynamics, the minister stated that coordination with international financial actors and stakeholders will increase the flow of diversified external resources into Turkey.
Minister Albayrak said that the capacities of the CBRT will be widened by opening the clogged structural channels for stabilizing prices and cutting down inflation and strengthening policy coordination. "The policy in the new period aims to render the central bank more effective than ever," he said. He added that the "fundamental priority" in the upcoming period would be fighting inflation. "We will take steps to bring inflation down to single digits in the shortest possible time and eventually match our target," he said.
With regards to the strong monetary policy emphasis he announced Tuesday, Albayrak said that strong monetary policy means action shaped toward the primary goal of the price stability, adding that fighting inflation tops the priority areas in terms of macroeconomic stability.
A more predictable and stable macroeconomic outlook in Turkey could clearly be established by achieving low inflation rates, and that it would be essential for the central bank, whose main objective is to provide price stability, to implement its monetary policy in a strong manner..
"In the new period, we will be supporting the central bank's implementation of a more predictable, simple and determined monetary policy in line with the objectives," Albayrak continued. "As the government, we will support the monetary policy by removing the structural obstacles that may limit the effectiveness of these policies as much as possible and strengthening the policy coordination."
Replying to a question on the real sector's unpaid bank debts, Albayrak said that the banking sector's performance is one of the strongest sides of the Turkish economy, noting that the sector's capital adequacy ratio stands at 16.4 percent, well above the world average.
Albayrak said the finance sector operates in a transparent framework in line with international rules and practices and has been audited by the Banking Supervision and Regulation Agency (BDDK) and independent auditors in accordance with international rules.
"The restructuring demands of some well-known firms, which have been reflected by the public, constitute the basis for this question that you have led regarding the investors. However, the restructuring transactions cover maturity extensions in line with the cash flows of the credit periods required by the banking sector and are generally not common," Minister Albayrak said, highlighting that the institutions are conducting the necessary studies for financial stability.
The treasury and finance minister underscored that the fiscal discipline will continue without compromise and the ministry will carry out structural reforms that will ensure the compliance of costs with the budget.
The fiscal discipline will effectively continue in accordance with the budgetary goals of the Medium-Term Plan.
"The government has a high capacity to devise a problem-solving framework with a holistic approach," the minister stressed.
The coordination of real sector firms, financial corporations and public sector will ensure sustainable and stable growth, Albayrak said.
"The macroeconomic goals will be achieved thanks to the economic policies to be implemented with resolution and consistency. The harmony of economic policies will be kept at a maximum. With the coordination of firms and financial sectors, the interest of local and foreign investors will grow," the minister said.
Albayrak, also the head of the treasury, further highlighted that cooperating with all the actors and stakeholders in international financial markets, the ministry will increase the entry of external capital to Turkey and diversify resources. |
Body Painting and Face Painting Art
“ Facebook offers so many user engagement methods that can be used to attract more clients and spread the word on any business.” Ciaran Connolly, Co-Founder of ProfileTree
London, UK (PRWEB) May 17, 2013

It’s official. I’m not the smartest person. 3 days to go on my 2017 book challenge and 5 books left to read, and I go and pick a book that’s more than 600 pages long. Unfortunately I think that might have tainted my appreciation slightly as I was so annoyed with myself, but I’ll try not to let that affect my review!
We left the first book in this series in a really interesting place, Feyre had returned to the spring court with Tamlin, but bound to Rhys for one week a month as part of the bargain for saving her. Regardless, Feyre is happy as it means she can be with the love of her life. And of course the small matter that Feyre is now an immortal Fae, a conversion necessary to stop her from dying.
But quite quickly, the dream with Tamlin shatters, as he leaves her alone in the house for long periods of time, won’t let her join in with anything more dangerous than eating her lunch, and then resorts to locking her in the house to prevent her from leaving.
But still, she loves him and is going ahead with the plans to marry him as soon as possible. But of course, Rhys isn’t happy with those plans and turns up in the middle of the ceremony to take Feyre away to the Night Court. But this seems like it may be a blessing in disguise, as Feyre soon realises that her life with Tamlin was no life at all.
But her life with Rhys is about to get much more complicated, and much more dangerous…
I won’t go too much further into the plot as I don’t want to give away more spoilers than I already have, but all I will say is that this book for the most part feels action packed all the way through. There were a few times when it felt like it was going a bit slowly, but those parts didn’t last long.
I stand by my comment on my review of the first book in this series that although this might be a ‘young adult’ book, it’s definitely not aimed at the younger end of the spectrum. There’s quite a lot of graphic content in there which wouldn’t be appropriate.
And the ending. Wow, the ending. Nothing that I expected at all and leaving my thirsting for more, desperate to know what Feyre and Rhys will do next. I’m so glad I have the third book in this series checked out of the library already so I don’t have to wait, although I think I’ll wait a couple of days til the first of January so I can complete the last 3 books of my challenge first! |

An Indian scientist had made an independent argument on the existence of Higg's particle, in a manner very different from that predicted by Professor Peter Higgs.Dr Satish D Joglekar, a professor of IIT Kanpur who passed away a few years ago, had argued in his paper in 1974 that Higg’s particle was essential for the standard model of fundamental physics.
“Joglekar had argued that if the Higg’s particle was absent then the standard model of fundamental physics would be totally unreliable beyond a certain energy scale,” says Dr Pankaj Jain, an IIT Kanpur professor who had worked with him.
The theory of elementary particles is called the Standard Model. This is the underlying model on which the whole of Physics is based on. It postulates several elementary fields which are interpreted as particles in the quantum theory. These include familiar particles such as electrons and photons, a little less familiar particles such as quarks, muons, tau leptons and neutrinos.
Quarks bind together to form protons and neutrons. Besides this it contains gluons, W and Z gauge bosons and the Higgs. The main problem with the model without Higgs is that all of these particles have zero mass.
“Joglekar however, argued the existence of Higg’s particle in a different way. In fact when I was studying a model which did not have Higg’s particle and yet managed to give masses to all the particles in the standard model, he gave me this argument that the theory will become unreliable beyond the energy scale of a few hundred GeV (Giga electron volts). This is comparable to the energy scale where LHC is probing the world of elementary particles.,” Jain said. |
Cancer puts tremendous nutritional burdens on the body. The body's immune system is out of balance. In many cases, the body is overloaded with toxins. Toxic overload combined with nutritional deficiencies are common findings in cancer patients. Low vitamin D is associated with an increased risk of most common cancers. Most people are vitamin D deficient. Recent research confirms the link between low vitamin levels and increased risk of colon cancer.
Our cancer support products are designed to help with detoxification and supply adequate amounts of key nutrients.
Curcumin!
There are 2,000 published studies showing how curcumin may prevent cancer and slow the spread of cancer. Curcumin can also make chemotherapy more effective. It is no surprise that curcumin makes the top of our list of supplements all cancer patients should be taking.
Detoxification!
Detoxification is crucial to proper functioning of your immune system. We recommend using a homeopathic detox along with vitamin and mineral support. We highly recommend using Wholly Immune as the vitamin and mineral support. This product was designed by a famous German oncologist for the nutritional support of his cancer patients. It comes in two sizes 300 and 900 grams.
Homeopathics work well to improve detoxification. Many chemicals are foreign to the body's detoxification system. Homeopathics help the body recognize and eliminate toxins. The detox drops should be started slowly as they can cause a very rapid detoxification in very toxic people. The Hervert Detox Kit is designed to cleanse the lymphatics, liver, kidneys, and intestines.
Vitamin D!
Multiple studies have shown the benefits of vitamin D. One of the key benefits is a big drop in cancer rates in those taking adequate amounts of vitamin D. The RDA dose of vitamin D will no get the average person close to those levels which are 60 to 100 ng/mL. Costa Rican lifeguards have levels up to 150 ng/mL. In order to achieve these levels most people need to take between 5,000 and 10,000 units a day. I have found the most cost-effective way to take vitamin D is to take a large weekly dose of 50,000 to 100,000 units. One should not take supplemental calcium when taking higher doses of vitamin D as it is not needed. I recommend Bio-Tech's Vitamin D3 -50,000. Vitamin D levels should be monitored when taking higher levels of vitamin D3.

Join a lion conservation team for a day
The data you collect goes straight to the ecological monitoring department, and helps the team find solutions to the challenges facing lions.
You can get involved with the predator preservation projects with Lion Tracking experiences. Some lions have been fitted with radio collars, which can be used by the specialised lion trackers in their search for a GPS and magnetic radio signal omitted by the collar. The suspense fills the air as you drive through the bush in search of the lions in anticipation of finding them.
When a lion or even a pride is found, you will learn how to help identify individuals by recording whisker patterns, scars, ear tears and other characteristics. The data you collect goes straight to the ecological monitoring department, and helps the team find solutions to the challenges facing lions.
This life-changing experience is available at Mbweha Lodge near Lake Nakuru National Park on the Soysambu Lion Program, wonderfully run by Nina, and at Ol Pejeta Bush Camp in Laikipia, Kenya.
The excitement of searching for lions, waiting for the signal to be picked up is something I'll never forget - perfect for everyone who cares about Big Cats

The paper "Executive Master in Supply Chain Management" is an outstanding example of a management assignment. Supply chains are made up of activities that are interrelated within and without organizations boundaries. Organizations develop supply chains by simply being connected to each other by virtue of the upstream and downstream activities involving their business flows (Monczka et al 2009). Supply chain Management (SCM) is a process that ensures effective management of the business flows right from the suppliers of raw materials, to the production process through to the end-user (Jones & Riley 1985).
This process, therefore, calls for proper and holistic management of the business flows which extend from one organization to the others in the supply chain. Forrester (1958) identified five business flows which are; information, money, manpower, capital equipment and materials. In SCM, the running of information flows is very critical since the movement of the other business flows is highly dependent on how the associated information flows are managed (Sweeney 2006). The supply chain business processes that are connected through intra and inter-firm boundaries are developed from the business process. According to Sweeney (2002), most businesses can be described in regard to the five functions of; purchasing and procurement (buying), production planning and control (making), warehouse management (storage), transport management (moving) and customer relationship management (selling).
This definition by Sweeney is further supported by Monczka et al (2009) who argue purchasing involves five functions which are; acquiring the right quality, in the right amounts, at the right time, for the right value and from the right supply. Monczka et al (2009) further indicate that purchasing is a functional activity and a functional group that is part of the product development team in an organization.
This group carries out a number of activities driven towards achieving maximum results for an organization. Purchasing acts as the link between suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers and plays an important role in the product development and improvement process (Lambert and Cooper 2000). Purchasing plays an important role in the information flow when it functions as an organizational entity that supports the strategic goals of an organization (Cousins et al 2008). This purchasing function of an organization achieves its functions once it is integrated into the organization's decision-making process.
In this regard, the purchasing function is highly concerned with supply chain management and in this case. According to Quayle (2006), purchasing is involved in the establishment and management of a commercial relationship. Quayle further ascertains that this relationship should be maintained and the parties involved (suppliers, purchasers, customers) need to work together for them to achieve competitive advantage. On the other hand, a growing number of firms make efforts to scrutinise their suppliers thereby reducing expenses at their supply phase (Van Weele 2005). Lambert and Cooper (2000) argue that operating an integrated supply chain requires continuous information flows which later assist to create the best product flows.
The customer is the main focus of the process. Realising a good customer-centred system requires processing information both accurately and in a timely manner for quick response systems that require frequent changes in response to fluctuations in consumer demands (Zhao et al 2002). Monitoring uncertainty in manufacturing processes, customer demand, and supplier performance is critical to effective SCM. For example, to facilitate the growth of commercial relationships in the financial institutions, the supply managers are integrated within the strategic business unit and they are primarily a contact point between the organizations and suppliers (Monczka et al 2009).
In this role, they are able to identify problems and create solutions for them. All these processes highlight the important role of purchasing in the information flow.

As summer falls upon Cleveland and you venture out to satisfy your appetite for a fresh, local meal, keep Culture.CLE in mind as a colorful option. This innovative dinner series caters to Clevelanders with a desire for fresh international cuisine and a hunger for learning about foreign cultures.

Last September, founder Samantha Peddicord created the local movement as a free international monthly book club comprised of friends and acquaintances with similar interests in cultural exploration. The group shares a passion to gain better insight into various cultures by reading non-fiction, biographical, and even mystery books. Each meeting offers engaging conversation, an open educational platform for the naturally curious, and a true international experience for their palates.
Peddicord, who conducts thorough research before planning each of her featured monthly dinner series events, reaches out to local community members who are willing to educate the Cleveland diners on their culture, cuisine, recipes, and experiences while growing up in their native land. When asked about her desire to start the dinner series, Peddicord explains, “I just want people to explore and enjoy Cleveland’s diversity. It’s easy to get caught up in thinking that traveling is the only means to explore cultures. But there are so many cultural outlets right here in northeast Ohio.”
Guests of the dinner series events can expect an assortment of appetizers, entrees, cooking demonstrations, recipes, and information about each food item on the menu. Festive cultural music fills the air, and, if you’re lucky, you might catch a few shared native dance moves by guests and presenters alike.
On the evening of Tuesday, June 25, the featured cooking instructor, Sahar Rizvi, owner of Cleveland Masala, will speak about her Northern Indian heritage and culture before providing a cooking demonstration. The audience is encouraged to ask questions about culture, norms, values, and experiences, as the goal is to leave with an understanding of the cultural lifestyle. The novel selected for discussion, The Namesake, by Jhumpa Lahiri, was released as a film in early 2007.
The concept for this unique dining experience sprouted from Peddicord’s desire to be well-informed about the myriad of cultures that enrich our world. Her passion for diversity awareness is apparent in her academic background, experience, and volunteerism. She has a Masters of Arts Humanities specializing in International Relations, has facilitated diversity training, and has worked with refugees in northeast Ohio. Additionally, she has engaged in local political protest activities focused on local and national issues, such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and is an avid traveler who has visited over 30 countries.
Culture.CLE is settling into their new home at Dave’s Market and Eatery on E. 61st Street. To learn more about upcoming events, follow Culture.CLE on Facebook or email [email protected] to join their mailing list.
Leave the passports at home this summer, Cleveland; you won’t need them to enjoy an international evening with Culture.CLE. Forks up! |

Objective: Air leakage after pulmonary lobectomy is a well-known problem often contributing to extended hospitalization. Many techniques have been proposed to prevent and treat air leakage, but none have been proved incontrovertibly effective. We evaluated the role of an autologous blood patch after pulmonary lobectomy.
Methods: Twenty-five patients with air leaks on the sixth postoperative day after lobectomy were enrolled in this study. They were randomly assigned to 2 groups: group A (12 patients), with 50 mL of autologous blood infused in the pleural cavity; and group B (13 patients), with 100 mL of blood infused. These 2 groups were retrospectively compared with the last 15 patients showing the presence of air leaks for at least 6 days (group C) (in this group the duration of leakage after the sixth postoperative day was compared). We recorded the duration of posttreatment air leaks and hospitalization.
Results: Air leaks stopped 2.3 ± 0.6 days after the procedure in group A, 1.5 ± 0.6 days after the procedure in group B, and after 6.3 ± 3.7 days in group C. The air leakage disappeared within 72 hours in all patients in groups A and B. There was a statistically significant difference in the duration of drainage between groups A and B (P = .005), groups A and C (P = .0009), and groups B and C (P = .0001), showing the effectiveness of an autologous blood patch, particularly with 100 mL of blood.
Conclusions: Management of air leaks after lobectomy with an autologous blood patch is easy, safe, and effective, and does not add costs. It may become the gold standard treatment early in the postoperative course.

When our president, sworn to uphold the constitution, behaves like a common thug, bullying and threatening private parties to a dispute to give up their rights under the law under threat of being destroyed, then I think we have as a country crossed yet another line on the path away from the rule of law.
Attorney Tom Lauria, who represents some of the Chrysler creditors, reported the threats on WJR radio host Frank Beckmann’s radio show in Detroit. His clients bought bonds that, in exchange for a low rate of return, gave them the security of having first lien rights. This means that in bankruptcy, they are to be paid 100 percent before any junior creditors receive a penny. That’s what bankruptcy law provides, and it was with this understanding that they purchased the bonds in the first place.
Lauria told Beckmann that these bondholders had already agreed to accept half of what they’re entitled to under bankruptcy laws even though the have no obligation to do so, but the government offered them a deal that would pay them 29 cents on the dollar, while junior creditors would receive 10 - 20 billion dollars.
Cutting their demands in half wasn’t enough of a concession for President Obama, who equated the bondholders’ belief that the bankruptcy laws should mean what they say with a desire for an "unjustified taxpayer-funded bailout."
Lauria said that one of his clients gave up the fight after being "directly threatened by the White House, and in essence compelled to withdraw its opposition to the deal under threat that the full force of the White House press corps would destroy its reputation if it continued to fight."
Lauria explains why the rest of us should be concerned about use of the vast power of the federal government to coerce concessions in a dispute over contractual rights:
I think everybody in this country should be concerned about the fact that the president of the United States, the executive office is using its power to try to abrogate that contractual right. If the president will attack that contractual right, what right will it not attack?
. . ..
And that, succinctly, is exactly why the government should not be taking over private enterprise. Once it does that, it acquires interests directly adverse to private parties. Apparently, the temptation to abuse its vast powers in pursuit of those interests becomes irresistible.
For the rest of us watching this drama unfold, whether still shell shocked from watching 401(k) balances shrink, or standing on the sidelines wondering whether to invest in this economy in any way,it give us one more reason to be leery.

Back when I was fiddling with MS Excel Visual Basic, there was a command called DoEvents() which was very important to me. I am searching for something similar for Python. That is especially PyScripter IDE.
What is DoEvents?
When I made loops in VBasic, which I would expect to run on for minutes at a time, I would throw DoEvents() in there at some point of the loop. That way, whenever the IDE reaches that command, it will actually respond to GUI interaction, etc, anything that has come up to that point since starting the code. That means, if I leave out this command, Excel will stay unresponsible until the very end of the program run. With the command included though, I can click and move and interact with the Excel (and thereby, the IDE too) windows.
I have now run into an unprecedented event in that I have sucessfully stressed Pyscripter IDE enough, so it does not respond to my clicking anymore while running my awesome code. My OS thinks, the IDE may have crashed, and suggests me to close it, as it does not respond. I can assume in the background, the IDE is actually fine and running my code (changing my files, that is why I can see it from outside the IDE). I assume, if I wait long enough, it will finish and respond again. I never waited that long though, as I needed to interrupt execution, which was also not possible. If I run the same code in command-line btw, it will run just fine.
Maybe this is a IDE specific question, maybe other IDEs have similar flaws, maybe you have never had that same problem and just wonder what I am talking about, but really, I just need a DoEvents() kind of "pause and lets do what else is on the plate before continuing the ongoing code execution" type command. |
It was less than two weeks 'til Pesach, twelve days to be exact, and I was cleaning my boys' closets. I know some people hate the cleaning, but I love getting everything in order, throwing out what needs to be trashed, replacing whatever needs to be replaced, and knowing where everything is. And since I live in Israel, I was not the only person cleaning for Pesach. Not only was my apartment getting cleaned, but the whole country was going to shine.
As I worked, though, I have to admit that I was getting annoyed with the pencil shavings, eraser crumbs, and other tiny bits of dirt that I was finding in all the shelf corners. I knew none of it was chometz, but once I started the job, I wanted it done right. I decided to ask my downstairs neighbor, Chava, if I could borrow her small, hand vacuum cleaner.
Chava had moved into the building a little less than a year ago and I had liked her from the start. She's short and jolly and more than a little overweight. She's always going to start a diet 'as soon as she gets organized'. That seems to be her motto for everything; cleaning her house, making a dentist appointment, and finishing her degree. She pushes things off and then runs around like crazy at the last minute. Still, she does get things done and she always seems to be available to sit down for a cup of coffee and conversation. Not that I have a lot of time to sit. With six kids, a part time job, and being head of the neighborhood chesed committee I feel like I'm always running. When I do get a chance to catch my breath, though, I love to sit in Chava's cluttered kitchen and share some laughs and some of her deliciously wicked brownies. So I was really taken aback when she came to the door with red, puffy eyes.
"What's the matter?"
"Nothing." Chava shrugged. "What can I do for you?"
I had hoped she would invite me in for a cup of coffee; however she was obviously not in the mood. I took her vacuum but before I returned to the boys' closets I decided to put my feet up for a few minutes. I used the time to make chesed committee calls. We're having a busload of new immigrants come to the neighborhood for Pesach and I had to find places for them. Believe me, that was not easy, but that's a whole other story.
Once I did finish the closets I saw I had forty-five minutes left until I had to pick up my youngest from day care. That would give me enough time to do the coat closet after I finished returning the vacuum.
Chava came to the door with her eyes as red and puffy as they had been before. This time I could not ignore them.
"What's going on?" I entered her apartment and sat down at the table without being asked.
She just stood next to the door and shrugged. Chava has really beautiful blue eyes but she kept them focused on the floor.
"Are you sick?"
Chava shook her head.
"Are you and Naftali getting divorced?" I was grasping at straws.
Again she listlessly shook her head.
"Did someone die?"
That made Chava look up. "Thank G-d, no," she whispered.
"Then what is it?"
Chava gave a deep sigh and mumbled one word, "Pesach".
"Oh," I smiled with relief. "That we can deal with. Sit down."
As she collapsed into the chair across from me I glanced at my watch. Only thirty-five minutes left until I had to get my daughter. I would have to forget about the getting the coat closet done, but this was important.
"What has you worried about Pesach?"
"Everything," She played with the ends of her head scarf as she answered. "The cleaning. The cooking before. The packing. Going to my mother-in-law. The kids being home for," she looked at me quizzically. "How long is vacation?"
"A little over two weeks," I answered complacently.
My kids were all organized for their break. Chava's two pre-schoolers were not. I decided it was time to get my friend organized and demanded some paper and a pencil. I'm a firm believer in lists. If I would look at all that had to be done before Pesach at once, I would have a nervous breakdown. I organize everything that has to be done into weeks and then into days and then into mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I'm always a day or two ahead in case of emergencies. It's a great system and it was time for Chava to discover it.
In a monotone she dictated all she needed to do. Seeing her dejection I finally understood why the rabbis are so adamant about not confusing Pesach cleaning with spring cleaning.
"What about hiring help?" I asked cautiously. Naftali worked long hours in a family business but I wasn't sure what their financial situation was.
Chava shrugged. "I never really liked having someone else in my home but maybe it's a good idea but I don't know if I can find anybody…"
"Would you like me to ask around?" I just happened to know of a woman in the neighborhood who was desperate to make some extra money.
Chava nodded her head. We divided everything on the list into days and put a star next to everything we thought Mrs. Amamai could do.
"About the kids," I finished up. "Simi Simons always makes a day camp. I think you should sign your kids up."
"Okay," Chava almost sounded excited. Her eyes had cleared up and she had even smiled at one of my jokes. Of course, I had hoped for a chuckle.
"Oh!" I looked at my watch and saw I had ten minutes to get my baby. "I've got to run. You'll be all right now that you have your list, won’t you."
Chava nodded and I went flying. I really did not stop the rest of the day and did not think of Chava again until 6:47 the next morning when I heard a timid knock at the door. There stood Pnina, Chava's five year old, and she was crying.
"Ima doesn't want to wake up and I can’t find my shoes and Shimmy's hungry."
"Where's your father?" I called to my oldest to take care of things as I took Pnina's hand.
"He's in America." The little girl sniffled.
When we entered the apartment I went straight to Chava's room. She was sound asleep and did not respond to me calling her name. Even shaking her did not get a reaction. Then I saw the medicine bottle on her nightstand. It was a bottle of pain pills and it was three quarters empty. I forced myself to stay calm. Chava was definitely breathing but the breathing was slow and her color scared me. With my heart racing I dialed emergency. Help was on the way and I called upstairs to order the children to say tehillim. Fortunately the ambulance arrived almost immediately. I was able to give Pnina and Shimmy the attention they needed. It took a while, but I calmed them down and was able to send them off to nursery school. I called my office and told them I would be late coming in.
I wasn't sure who to call about Chava. She has no family in Israel, but Naftali is a sabra and he has enough for the two of them. I did not want to call his mother, though. She is quite emotional and I had no time to deal with that. I finally decided to call the family business. After all, that was why Naftali was out of the country. His brothers could decide who would go to the hospital, who would contact Naftali, and who would pick up the kids from nursery school.
When I'm at my work, I concentrate solely on work, but once I left the office I began worrying about Chava again. As soon as I put lunch on the table I bribed my oldest daughter to watch things. Pesach cleaning was going to have to wait. I wanted to see Chava.
I found her in a room with two other women. Although she was lying in her bed with her eyes open and focused on the door, she did not acknowledge me.
"Chava?" I went straight to her and took her hand. She had dark circles under her eyes but other than that she looked normal. "How are you?"
Chava smiled weakly. "I guess you'll have time for me now that I am one of your chesed cases."
"What do you mean, Chava?"
But she closed her eyes and turned over as if she was falling asleep. I stood by her bed another ten minutes but she did not stir. I tiptoed out feeling more than a little troubled.
Once home my oldest took off immediately. I was left with a houseful of kids and unfinished, or rather unstarted, Pesach cleaning. My husband was going to be working late. The phone rang and a friend had to cancel out on the family she was taking Seder night. I was beginning to panic out when someone rang the doorbell.
It was Tova, my upstairs neighbor and a good friend to both me and Chava. She had come to find out how Chava was doing and she ended up rescuing me by agreeing to take the family for Seder. She's one of those people who never say no and I hate to take advantage of her, but I was feeling desperate.
I was up late doing all the Pesach cleaning I had planned to do in the afternoon. It didn't matter. I barely slept for worrying about Chava and what she had said to me. As soon as I got the children out of the house the next morning I left for the hospital. Chava was sitting in bed reading a book when I entered he room.
"Hi," She gave me a real smile. "Thank you for all the help yesterday." She looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry for all the trouble."
"It's okay." I was embarrassed, too. I mean, it sounded like I was telling her it was okay that she tried to kill herself. But maybe she didn't try. Maybe it was just an accident. I did not know what to say.
"Do you want to sit down?" Chava pointed to the plastic chair by her bed. "Or are you on the run?"
"No, I really wanted to visit with you."
Chava looked pleased and that helped my confidence.
"So," I spoke cheerily. "What's going to be with you?"
"They're supposed to release me today."
"That's great!"
"I suppose so," Chava pulled at the ends of her head scarf. "Naftali is flying back now, but I'm not going home. We're going to move in with his parents until after Pesach."
"Oh." There were at least dozen questions I wanted to ask but I did not want to pry.
Chava sighed. "No one seems to believe that I took those pills by mistake."
"I'll believe you!" It was an impulsive statement and I saw Chava's face light up.
"I was so keyed up about Pesach and I kept running lists over and over in my mind and Naftali wasn't there to talk to and I knew I had so much to do in the morning and I remembered I had those pills left over from when I had my wisdom teeth out and I took a couple."
She stopped to catch her breath.
"I guess I did it more than once." Chava blushed. "They're releasing me on the condition that I go to Naftali's parents and start seeing a counselor."
"Will you be okay staying with your mother-in-law for so long?"
Chava gave one of her chuckles. "If I'm not crazy now I will be by the time Pesach is over." It was a relief to hear her chuckle and I laughed with her. "Seriously," she continued, "Nafatali's family has always been good to me. They're great with the kids and they give me space when I want but they have time for me when I need them."
Speaking of time reminded me of what I wanted to ask Chava. It was my turn to blush as I cleared my throat.
"Yesterday you said that I would have time for you now that you were a chesed case."
Chava looked surprised. "Did I say that?"
"Yes," I nodded. "And I kind of wondered what you meant."
"Oh, I don't know," Chava laughed but it sounded like a nervous laugh to me. "I don't remember saying it."
"Well, you did," I was not going to let the matter drop. "Do you have bad feelings for me?"
"Of course not!" Chava sounded adamant. "It's just that you seem to be so busy helping people, which, don't get me wrong, is wonderful, but sometimes I feel like you don't have any time to be a plain friend."
"What do you mean?" I felt as if I had been punched in the stomach.
Chava looked uncomfortable and I realized I should probably back off. Before I could change the subject, though, she began explaining.
"Do you remember when Shimmy had his hernia operation? You arranged for someone to watch Pnina and had a hot meal waiting for us when we came home. That was great but my mother-in-law could have done that. What I really needed from you was to sit down and have a cup of coffee and some brownies with me and listen to all my fears about my baby going to surgery."
"Oh." I vaguely remembered Chava talking about her apprehension but I had not picked up on it.
"You know how Tova never says no to you," Chava continued. "If you would listen to her carefully you would know that even after five years in the country she is desperately homesick for the big family she left behind. She always agrees to host your guests so she can pretend they are her relatives. If you stayed on the phone with her a little longer you could be a sympathetic ear. She needs a sympathetic ear as much as the sick woman in the next building needs her meals organized."
"Oh," I repeated. My palms were sweaty and my stomach felt queasy. What Chava was telling me was that despite my organization, efficiency and chesed work I was missing the boat when it came to being a friend. It was a relief when a nurse came into the room to take Chava's vitals and I was asked to leave.
I blinked back tears most of the way home but as I reached my neighborhood I had an idea. As soon as I got home I would grab my cordless, start in on the laundry room shelves, and call Tova. Wait a minute, I thought. Instead of calling Tova I would stop by. That's what my emergency days were for, weren't they?
Tova was surprised to see me at her door when we both should be busy cleaning, but she graciously invited me in and poured me a cup of coffee. As we sat down she picked up the dress she had made for her daughter and continued sewing the hem. Tova is almost as efficient as I am. Of course we talked about what every Jewish woman was talking about, namely Pesach cleaning. After a few minutes, though I brought up one of my reasons for the visit.
"Do you think our families could get together and do a Holomod outing?" I asked.
Tova's eyes lit up. "I'd love that!"
"Me, too."
I had been missing out on my family’s outings the last few years, opting instead to stay home and cook. My conversation with Chava had made me rethink things. This year I would make simpler food and have some time with my family. Tova finished her hemming while we discussed possible trips. It was time for me to get going, but before I left I broached the second reason for my visit.
"You know, with the new apartment complex this neighborhood is really getting too big for me to handle by myself. I need a co-chairman and I think you would be a great partner. What do you think?"
Tova did not say no and she looked interested. "I'll think about it and let you know after Pesach. Is that okay?"
I couldn't ask for more than that. If Tova agrees then I'll have more time, more time to be a good friend. When Chava comes back after Pesach I'll visit her for more than just a few minutes. Not because she needs me, but because I need her. Everyone needs friends. |

Trump's proposed labor secretary, Andrew Puzder, is CEO of Carl's Jr and Hardees
Alternet - A new Restaurant Opportunities Centers United report, based on questionnaires filled out voluntarily by 564 Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s workers, ... found that 28 percent of respondents had to work off the clock without pay because of understaffing. Approximately one-third reported a wide range of wage theft violations, including not receiving required breaks or overtime pay.
A high percentage of workers reported experiencing sexual harassment on the job—66 percent, compared to 40 percent overall in the fast-food industry. This is hardly shocking, given the behavior of the company’s CEO. Puzder is notorious for boasting about his sexualized ad campaigns, including raunchy spots for a Bacon 3-Way Burger featuring oiled-up blondes in bikinis in a pseudo menage-a-trois and another with a model rubbing a piece of bacon across her breast.
One female employee told ROC that customers have asked her why she doesn’t dress like the women in the commercials. Several others charged that store managers either ignored employee complaints about harassment or were perpetrators themselves.
Seventy-nine percent of respondents said they’d prepared or served food while sick, the vast majority because they had no sick leave.
Andrew Puzder has made no secret of the fact that he would like to codify his cut-throat business approach in federal policy. He is opposed to regulations on overtime pay, paid leave, mandatory break times, and a minimum wage increase. In fact, he’s so hostile to his human employees he’s waxed rhapsodic about replacing them entirely with robots.
Of course, this hasn’t stopped Puzder from accepting generous perks for himself. The ROC report points out that this devout opponent of Obamacare and mandatory sick leave policies has enjoyed reimbursement checks of as much as $61,000 per year from his employer for medical costs that run above and beyond his health insurance benefits. By contrast, only 9 percent of Puzder’s non-managerial staff have access to any employer-provided health care. As CEO, Puzder’s total compensation has run as high as $10 million per year.
1 comment:
I hope he replaces his employees with robots that malfunction constantly and do a poor job when they occasionally do work, so nobody goes to his shitty restaurants ever again. |

To add your own wanted, use the provided template and post in this thread. We will add it to the list momentarily. The template codes are at the bottom!
Please also post here if you are taking a wanted ad so that we know to remove it from the list. Always contact the member that requested the ad before starting on the character/posting that you've taken it.
If you decide you want your own ad removed, we can do that. Otherwise, ads will remain on the list until they are a) taken or b) the member in charge of the ad ghosts for more than 2 weeks without an absence note. This is to avoid the crushing feeling of really wanting to do a plot only to find you can't.
description: Just putting this out there, lookin' for a love interest for Jack here. I've only got one requirement other than the woman thing, and that's that the character be crux fidelis. Existing characters can work too tbh. I'm thinking that the two of them have been ... interested for a bit of time, but it's awkward and they're awkward. Just DM me and we can talk it out.
description: Okay so the idea behind this little wanted ad is quite simple. Sol is a monarch and a terrible example of one at that. She was pretty much caged up her entire life, so now that she's finally free I think it would be fun if her uncle hired a tutor to teach her about the world. Roux is a great knight and a really good babysitter, but the boy has other duties. So I think it would be good for Sol to have someone that's kinda hovering around and making sure she's on the right path and to teach her to be a cultured young woman....who doesn't burn down everything she touches.
description: A 16 year old Ephemera based off the concept of a Wyvern. "The Wyvern" serves as one of Sourdeval Duchamps' three cherished Ephemera, who were created specifically on her orders back at the beginning of things. The Wyvern has control over flight and one of the elements, probably fire but you do you. The Wyvern is very open, character wise, but also needs to be loyal to Sourdeval to a fault.
description: Description: I want her to be crazy. Not crazy, crazy in that she'd kill Marty if I say one word wrong. But crazy in that, she'd fuck someone up if they get in her way. I'd like her to be evil, someone I can turn good through roleplay. Of course, this character will be my character's gf, and she can either become good herself over time or turn Marty evil. Personally, any plot we make I'll enjoy. It would be cool if she was in an evil organization like Poena Damni or the Black Sun Cabal, but I would also accept her as a Crux. We could do a special Star Crossed lovers plot, where Marty will have to fight in order to be in love with her. It doesn't matter to me. Any idea you make for her I'll probably enjoy too.
description: Since the original person playing as Lyle is no longer on Mega, I'm putting out this ad once more. So, he's Cecilia's husband who she thought dead but is miraculously... not. I'll let you decide how. So they reunite, blah blah blah, happy times. They're almost always love-dovey, so prepare for some sickeningly sweet dialogue between them. You'll start off with them already back together since I don't have the will to redo the thread before, haha. He should be at least 100 years older or something, and he's a half-angel/half-dragon since I'm still amused about it since Cecilia's a demon knight. DM me on Discord for more info. Let's spread diabeetus onto this site with them, aight?
description: Aela is Aspen's crazily overprotective mom. She used to be a Hallowed in the Crux before she was saved/impregnated by a magical lightning strike from some powerful being that adored her courage (this is my take on how Valkyries can be made without sounding like watered down angels, okay). She took leave from Crux to raise Aspen in a remote location, but took it far too seriously and never really let her do anything but stay inside and read. At age 16, Aspen runs away and Aela hasn't seen her since.
Given her affiliation with the Crux, it's possible that she knew her of her daughter becoming a Sin. Maybe they even fought during this time. She might've felt it was her duty to put Aspen down, or maybe she didn't care and just wanted to see her again. I'm guessing Aela would've realized her mistake by now and depending on her development, wants to fix things with Aspen. She would be overjoyed to learn that her daughter has joined the Cross. As for Aspen adoption by Julius - not entirely sure how Aela would take that given how possessive she was.
Aela disappeared from the Crux for a while, but it's possible for her to go back if she wants to. Or she could be freelance/off in some other faction if she really went off the rails, whatever you want, really. She was known for her fighting skills and bravery, so Crux probably wants her back at some point. I don't see why she wouldn't go back though, because the lightning only strengthened her faith in God.
Then again, maybe that God is Orpheus rather than Eleftherios. |

On this day in 1995, rioting England fans forced a Dublin friendly to be abandoned after 27 minutes with the Republic of Ireland leading 1-0 at the time.
The shameful scenes at Lansdowne Road were a dark moment in the history of English football, with a number of fans suffering injuries and 40 people arrested.
With England trailing, some fans in the upper west stand started ripping up seats and benches before hurling them at Irish supporters below. It later emerged that far-right groups had bought tickets for the match to cause trouble.
Ireland were leading 1-0 through David Kelly’s 22nd-minute strike, but it was soon after England midfielder David Platt had a goal ruled out for offside in the 27th minute that crowd trouble forced the game to be stopped.
There was a 12-minute delay as the players left the field before the match was called off despite pleas from Ireland manager Jack Charlton and his England counterpart Terry Venables.
There were eight players in the Ireland starting line-up for the match who had been born in England.
Charlton, a World Cup winner with England, said at the time: “I’ve seen a lot in football but I’ve never seen anything like that. Every Englishman should be ashamed.”
There was an official public inquiry in the wake of the trouble by former chief justice of Ireland, Thomas Finlay, where it was concluded that the violence was caused only by England fans, without any provocation.
Ireland and England did not play each other again for another 18 years following the abandoned friendly.. |
Memoirs Of A Party Animal - My Seven Decades in Animal Welfare
Guest blog post by Naturewatch Foundation Supporter Angela Humphery
Having been a travel writer/photographer for 30 years, a book had always been at the back of my mind. A couple of years ago I asked my friend, author Liz Hodgkinson, if she would ghost it for me which was to be about all the amazing coincidences that had happened in my life. "No!" she said, "You are going to write it and it’s going to be about animals." Many of the travel stories I had had published were about animals, so it was far easier than I’d imagined – recycling those anecdotes into my autobiography which took about four months. Liz edited it and my nephew, Rupert Vandervell, self-published it for me. Job done. As the plight of animals had been a lifelong passion, I decided to donate any profits to the animal charities listed in the appendix, including NATUREWATCH FOUNDATION.
'So in love with Africa were we that, for my 70th birthday and Martin’s 71st (both 5th October) in 2000, we treated one another to a trip to Zambia, kicking off with a flight up north to Ndola in the Copper Belt to visit the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage and finishing up with a walking safari in the South Luangua Valley.
David and Sheila Siddle started the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage, after they accepted a badly injured infant chimp from a game ranger on their farm and nursed it back to health. An engineer by trade, Dave designed all the enclosures and handling facilities at Chimfunshi and pioneered many of the systems used by zoos and sanctuaries around the world. And in 2000, the year we were there, they had just opened two 500-acre enclosures for their chimps, still the largest area ever set aside for captive primates, and the closest thing to a wild release in Zambia had ever seen.
Over the last 30 years Chimfunshi has provided a safe refuge for the hundreds of orphaned, injured and mistreated chimps, including, Toto, the chimp rescued from a circus in Chile while others have been found on airport luggage carousels, chained to the rooftops of African restaurants, taken from shoddy little zoos or kept in crates as pets.
Dave’s day job was cattle farming which paid for the rescued chimps – with a little bit of help from two charities, Tusk Trust and WSPA. In 2002 both Dave and Sheila were awarded MBEs by the Queen and we met up with them at The Royal Geographical Society here in London where Sheila gave the annual Tusk Trust lecture to a full house and rapturous applause. Sadly, Dave died on 30th June 2006 at the age of 78 and at the time of his death, Chimfunshi was home to 112 chimps, making it one of the largest primate sanctuaries in the world.
It was here at Chimfunshi in 2000 that I had come to meet my adopted chimp, six-year-old Thompson.
On our first evening before my official photo-op with Thompson we were watching TV with month-old Miracle, a baby chimp born here but rejected by her mum and therefore hand-reared by Sheila. Miracle wore a nappy and knickers with her name embroidered on the front. Sheila let me hold her and she grabbed my hands tightly, just like human babies, and rose up on her feet, jumping up and down on my thighs. She was adorable.
Suddenly Sheila leapt up off the sofa and shouted, "Oh my God, Billie!" She realised Martin had gone to the outside loo for a pee and hadn’t come back.
Billie was a female five-year-old orphan hippo, born on the river running through the Siddle’s property. Her mother had been shot and Dave found her abandoned and dehydrated and brought her back to the house. She was fed milk in a gigantic bottle, reclining in the swimming pool the Siddles had built for their kids (luckily now having flown the nest) in the day time and sleeping on the sofa at night till it broke under her enormous weight and she was persuaded to sleep outside. Hippos kill more people in Africa than any other animal – and Martin was out there alone. In the dark and with a hippo on the loose.
Sheila found him trapped in the loo with Billie’s gigantic head wedged in the doorway, unable to escape. He’d been shouting for help for the past half an hour but with the TV on we hadn’t heard his SOS.
Sheila lured Billie away with a bottle of milk while Martin made a hasty retreat back to the house. There was no door on this outside loo, and while having a pee Martin had suddenly felt hot breath blowing on to his backside. When he turned around to see what it was coming from he nearly had a heart attack – there was a hippo’s nostrils and gigantic jaws inches away from his buttocks.' |
A Toledo man accused of breaking into six West Toledo homes in April and May was in the Lucas County jail Thursday night after being arraigned in Toledo Municipal Court on six counts of burglary of an occupied structure.
Bond was set at $120,000 for Julian Torrez, 23, of 1030 Country View Lane, who court records say was identified by at least one victim as the burglar and was found to be in possession of property stolen from one or more of the homes.
The case was continued to today to allow Mr. Torrez time to obtain a lawyer.
The break-ins for which Mr. Torrez is accused began April 2 at a home in the 4100 block of Carthage Road, during which the front door was kicked in and several items were stolen.
The other alleged break-ins occurred April 15 in the 900 block of Sibley Road; April 23 in the 5800 block of Clover Lane; April 30 in the 1100 block of Hawk Street; May 9 in the 600 block of West Gramercy Avenue, and May 24 in the 2000 block of Burr Oaks Drive.
In the sixth, the only one in which Mr. Torrez is believed to have acted alone, a resident observed the suspect trying to enter the residence. |

19 buses fined for straying from bus lane
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the Philippine National Police-Highway Patrol Group (PNP-HPG) weren’t joking when they warned private motorists last week that the bus lane policy would be strictly implemented on the stretch of EDSA southbound from Shaw Boulevard to Guadalupe starting last Monday January 18, 2016.
After the first two days of firm execution of the ‘yellow lane’ rule, 92 vehicles have been apprehended (23 on Monday and 69 on Tuesday) and of this number only 19 were public utility buses (PUBs) (1 last Monday and 18 on Tuesday).
”Private vehicles illegally using yellow lane are fined Php 500 while PUBs illegally going to non yellow lane are fined Php 200. Both are violations of the yellow lane policy,” said Crisanto Saruca of the MMDA Traffic Discipline Office.
The goal is to hasten the traffic of high-occupancy vehicles like PUBs in order to lessen traffic congestion and, so far, the MMDA has observed a stark improvement in travel time of PUBs since the strict implementation of the ‘bus lane’ began at the start of the week.
Additional MMDA personnel have been deployed in the area in order to guide motorists and deter them from taking the yellow lane. |
Jason Weber is well-known around the University of Saskatchewan’s campus as an expert and leader in fitness and personal training at the College of Kinesiology’s Human Performance Center. In his role, he leads coordinates all personal training at the university, runs strength and conditioning programs for the Huskie Athletic varsity teams, and conducts physiological fitness testing for a broad range of clients. Over the last 15 years, Weber has also coordinated, designed and implemented off-season high-performance training for hockey players of all levels from grassroots to current NHL players.
This past week, Weber found himself working with an elite group of 59 athletes outside the U of S campus – members of Canada’s National Women’s Team. The Fall Festival annual training camp is hosted by Hockey Canada and is designed to develop and evaluate Canada’s leading female hockey players.
The training camp took place in Dawson Creek, BC and athletes were split into two teams: Team White and Team Red. Each team trained and competed against one another as well as a few local men’s teams in the area, trying to earn their spot on an elite Olympic roster.
Weber was invited to conduct fitness testing and act as the lead strength and conditioning coach with Team White. His role included fitness instruction, testing, warm-ups, cooldowns, and in-game statistics. He also had the chance to sit down with players individually to discuss how their past training went and to start mapping out what their plan will be moving forward.
“Coming together with so many experts and, collaborating and working together towards one common goal of producing the best possible on-ice product was really a great experience for me," said Weber. "The players are exceptionally driven, and it's an honor to be a part of their journey.”
Weber wasn’t the only Saskatchewan representative at the camp, as he was joined by former U of S Huskie women’s hockey captain, Kaitlin Willoughby, and Saskatoon natives, Sophie Shirley and Emily Clark.
“It was a huge thrill to attend camp with the three Saskatoon women and bring some U of S expertise to the national level”, said Weber. “I have worked with each of them for several years as their strength and conditioning coach, and it was amazing to see them play at this level and do what they do best.”
Following the Fall Festival, Hockey Canada will select a team to represent Canada in the 4 Nations Cup which will be held in Saskatoon this November. Canada’s National Women’s Team will face off against Sweden, Finland, and the United States. |

Release Date: February 17, 1999
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Anxiety disorders are extremely common in the U.S., affecting 23 million people each year. That is the bad news.
The good news is that there are effective treatments for most of these problems.
Even better news is that in Western New York, sufferers can receive treatment at reduced cost at UB's Anxiety Disorders Clinic, which conducts a doctoral training program in clinical psychology.
The clinic was established in 1989 and currently trains between five and 10 future clinical psychologists each year.
Larry W. Hawk, assistant professor of psychology and director of the clinic, said there is a nationwide shortage of psychologists trained in the most current and most effective treatment methods for symptoms of anxiety.
"Many therapists still employ the more traditional treatments that use long-term Freudian-based approaches whose effectiveness is hard to measure generally, and which have not proved to be particularly effective for anxiety," he said.
Hawk and Michael L. Raulin, clinical associate professor of psychology and founder of the clinic, train doctoral students in the treatment approach called cognitive behavior therapy, in which the therapist serves more as an educator and coach than as an analyst.
"Rather than search for the beginnings of the problem, cognitive behavioral treatment is more focused on the present," Hawk said. "We try to determine how the problem is affecting clients' lives right now and find ways to help them meet their immediate goals. The treatment is more active and collaborative than traditional methods, aimed at changing behavior, thought patterns and bodily responses associated with the problem.
"This type of treatment has shown repeatedly to be very effective in people who have anxiety," Hawk said. "It's really rather remarkable."
Treatment for these problems is provided at the Anxiety Disorders Clinic by doctoral students, supervised by Hawk and Raulin. Most of the treatments involve 12-16 sessions lasting one to two hours.
Hawk noted that for persons without insurance or those with limited coverage, professional treatment for anxiety symptoms can be prohibitive. Treatment provided through the UB clinic is offered at a reduced fee because it is part of a doctoral training program.
For more information about the clinic, call the UB Psychological Services Center at 645-3697.

While most agreed there are problems that need to be addressed, some have no faith in the officials elected to do so.
“There is a culture of corruption and it has been in Collier County for years,” said Peter Gaddy, 66, of Golden Gate Estates. “We need to stop having workshops and make some changes.”? Yes.”

Whatever you do,don't sell us out to environmentally destructive industries and businesses,sure,times are tough and we do need to diversify our economy as soon as possible,but,rushing into any agreement with industry and business should be based on the effect to our own land,air and water in the county,anything that compromises this will end up costing the people of Collier County much,much more long after the business interests have pulled out and split in order to skip out on the responsibility associated with causing an environmental disaster.
I grew up in a community that had for it's neighbors companies like Texas Instruments,who,over a course of decades,polluted our area with radioactive waste,so much radioactive waste that our area parks had soil that was and is,literally,radioactive.
No one knew at the time that the soil had been contaminated years before with buried toxic wastes from T.I.,ironically,where are they now,China,Texas and other foreign countries with low-wage labor and governments that couldn't care less if their people are radiated or exposed to leeching toxic chemicals,where their not,my hometown,their original,still contaminated,location.
Job's all gone,toxic waste left behind,think people,think.
Rugers writes:
This cannot and will not happen as long as this bunch of county leaders are in office. Number one, they are mental midgets, incapable of formulating a business plan or even knowing what one is. Number Two, they only want tourist businesses in the county to keep wages low. Number Three, they think a restaurant or old ladies clothing stores are big business. Number Four, see number one again for clarity.
Beachglow writes:
You know, I keep hearing this "change" thing. Well, when things weren't changing, they worked well. It's when all these new changes came in that the city/county's business collapsed. Just go over to all the malls and boutiques and see who is left standing: The old tried but true. All the other stuff you could find in other cities folded. What does that tell you?

Peter Gaddy said, “There is a culture of corruption and it has been in Collier County for years. We need to stop having workshops and make some changes."
As a "citizen writer" for the NDN, Peter need to hold himself to a higher standard and give specific facts just like he noted in his article last month (June 8th ), when he accused the “block of three” (referring to Fiala, Coyle and Coletta) of responding with propaganda and falsehoods when they "don’t have the facts on their side."
In his article on June 8th, Gaddy went on to say, “In any case, this is America, and the American people are unlikely to be bullied into giving up an inalienable human right, the right free speech and the right to criticize government".
I fully expect Mr. Gaddy to tell Commissioenr Hiller she has no right to ask for a public apology from any one as it is “an inalienable human right, the right free speech and the right to criticize government.”
If he does not do this, could we surmise, he is one of Hiller’s Homies?

Type of a scam Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare
I received a call from Don Williams, employee no 46301, who said he was calling to be sure I was getting all of my medicare benefits. I told him I was leery of his call so He gave me his direct phone no. 304-415-5678 and told me he was located in Baltimore MD. He did not have my correct last name and then started guessing as to the correct name. He offered to transfer me to his supervisor until I told him I was questioning the legitimacy of his call and he quickly said I must have the wrong no. and hung up. |
The First Monkey Blocks
Elaine has been faithfully sending me a picture of her finished block every month, ever since I published my first pattern of Barnyard Bash. Here are her first three completed Monkey Business blocks. I love the background fabric she chose, very cute. Click on the pictures for a bigger/slide show view.
This year Sigrid started sending me pictures of her finished blocks as well, and I am really enjoying them. It is so much fun to see what all of you create and how you make my patterns your own. Sigrid creates custom backgrounds for her monkeys by stitching two different fabrics together, what a great idea!
I’ll be happy to post more Show & Tell pictures. If you would like to be featured, email me photos of your finished blocks. My email address can be found on the cover page of every pattern.

Thank you sooo much for your story, Beatrice. I like your monkeys. Sigrid
Thank you for sharing pictures I’m having trouble selecting backgrounds for these and this helps.

Well, at least it's a new title. What really fascinates me about this is the fact that the audience can actually make decisions for important things. In a way, they're running the show and Tom Green happily lets them have their way. It's something new and I'm not really sure how things will pan out for this show in the future. But it's a good experiment. And I wonder if people still call his house during the day. |
Essential Quality, a two-year-old son of TAPIT, broke his maiden impressively on debut at Churchill Downs on Kentucky Derby Day for trainer Brad Cox and owner/breeder Godolphin.
Going 6 furlongs on the dirt with Shaun Bridgmohan up, Essential Quality (TAPIT) loomed behind the leaders as they turned for home. With no room to squeeze through, the colt was piloted three-wide at the three-sixteenths pole, then rallied home in a final time of 1:09.98.

Britain's cult Hammer Films are set for a resurgence - almost 30 years after the last one finished production.
Hammer movies launched the careers of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, among others, and now investors Charles Saatchi and NEIL MENDOZA are funding six films to be produced over the next five years.
Australian company PARADISE IN PICTURES is co-developing the scripts, and company leader CHRIS BROWN says, ."
Hammer's chief executive TERRY ILLOTT adds, "This deal gives us a terrific opportunity to deliver highly commercial, low-budget, horror movies for a worldwide teenage audience."
Hammer was founded in the 1930s and produced it's first movie, THE MYSTERY OF THE MARIE CELESTE in 1935 - which starred Bela Lugosi, and in its heyday was the most successful British film production company for box office sales and movie output.

greetings to all,
i have a vista deskop connected to the internet via lan->access point->router.
the problem that i encountered recently is that i cant connect to yahoo
messenger and cabal online launcher. i also cant update windows defender and
nod32. but i can surf the net.
windows defender gave me the error code :80072EFE which is the firewall
thingy. i tried turning the firewall Off but still cant connect.
here's more.. i tried this last night. i installed Virtual pc from microsoft
and installed a virtual windows XP on it. i tried yahoo messenger and its
working. it connects.
i hope you guys can solve my problem. i really love vista. i dont want to
uninstall it

SCIENCE AND CULTURE
The culture of science and technology should be introduce at the community level to improve the ability of the people to recognize ordinary scientific applications to their daily lives, and therefore enhance the prospect for innovation and prosperity.
The absence of this culture shuts the gate to a community’s ability to summon for its own use and welfare, those simple and common technologies that are not only available but also affordable. African countries need to use such technologies to establish cottage industries and provide jobs |
Collecting Tubule - Vertebrate Kidney
The fluid that reaches the collecting tubules may tie hypoosmotic or isosmotic depending on the water status of the animal. Final adjustments in urine composition are made in the collecting tubules, whose walls -are permeable only in the presence of ADH. In the absence of ADH, as it happens during water diuresis, the hypoosmotic fluid that enters the collecting tubule passes through the latter unchanged, so that dilute urine of relatively large volume is excreted.
Under situations demanding water conservation, ADH is secreted and the walls of the collecting tubule become permeable to water. The fluid entering the collecting tubules becomes progressively more concentrated as it passes down making the final urine practically isosmotic to the interstitial fluid and hyperosmotic to blood. |
Review by Frank H. Wadsworth, retired, US Forest Service, Institute of Tropical Forestry, Puerto Rico, in Environmental History, Vol. 4, #1, Jan. 2000, pp. 112-3:
The appearance of this book is opportune. The author was trained in economics, public administration, and forestry and was a career employee with the Forest Service and U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he had a close-up view of national forest development. The result is a well-documented, intimate, and balanced chronicle of the multiple-use significance of legislation, land uses, policies, and consequences during the four periods: 1905-1945, 1945-1970, the 1970s, and 1980-1995. The depth of detail provides a clarification even for those who lived through these events.
Critics of national forest policies and practices might anticipate a whitewash from a former insider. While they will find explanations of controversial issues, they might be surprised in learning that the author does not necessarily justify Forest Service positions. Multiple use is almost unavoidable on lands of multiple resources. On the lands yet to become the national forests mineral claims were essentially unconstrained, and more than half of the area was open range. In 1891 the concern of grazing interests even brought to a halt additional forest reserves. Hunting and fishing were authorized throughout by state laws.
The charge to Gifford Pinchot from the Secretary of Agriculture in 1905 was that all the resources of the forests were for use. The term "multiple use" reportedly first appeared in print in 1920. As a policy it was affirmed legally in the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act of 1960, calling for equal consideration of all resources.
Early national forest management was concerned primarily with resource security, as it turned out, a contribution to the later dimensions and intensity of multiple use. National forest area grew from 75 million acres in 1905 to 172 million by 1910. The record burn of 5 million acres in 1910 was reduced by fire control to 600,000 acres per year. Burns were reforested as promptly as funds permitted. By 1908 every national forest had a working plan to limit cutting to a sustainable level, although the timber resources of the national forests were then seen as a reserve to be held while private forests were being harvested. Law enforcement and predator control quadrupled big game populations. The nation's first wilderness was designated in a national forest in 1924, and by 1945, 8.5 percent of the national forests had been admnistratively withdrawn as wild and wilderness areas.
Resource protection proved a foundation and an incentive for multiple use, but no guide to use integration. Repeated reductions in grazing allotments were unpopular and made only minor improvements in the range. Fuel buildups resulting from fire control required prescribed burning, a slap in the face of Smokey Bear. Timber sales, pushed by markets and a favorable Congress to 92 percent of the allowable cut, were believed to be scientifically permissible and desirable, yet clearly were impinging on the quality of the other forest resources. Game numbers grew beyond carrying capacity and called for unpopular control measures. Recreational visits grew from one million in 1919 to 236 million in 1981, exposing management problems to ever closer public scrutiny.
By the 1960s the public was aroused. The Bitterroot study had uncovered unquestionable overcutting. A computer had challenged the cutting rate for Douglas fir. Clearcutting had become a national issue from the Monongahela to the Tongass. Rumors saw a linkage between timber receipts and Congressional appropriations. Chief Edward P. Cliff made an unheralded, pivotal Forest Service response from the top: "We're getting plenty of flak. It is about equal on both sides, so we must be where we ought to be." Cliff subsequently made strong moves to respond to public concerns. Despite threats of a personal nature from the timber industry (to the knowledge of the reviewer) he proclaimed publicly that National Forest programs were out of balance with emerging environmental preferences and that an ecosystem approach to the management of national forest issues was needed. Public relations training was given to fifteen hundred key employees. A review of the timberland base led to the eventual reduction from 75 million acres to 53 million by 1993. Reduction in clearcuts and involvement of the public early in the planning were ordered. The world's largest team of landscaping talent developed visual constraints on timber sales on every national forest.
Still, critics questioned the ability of the Forest Service to respond. The decentralized organization of the Forest Service meant that policies from the top filtered down slowly. Typically application of policies was left to local managers, a circumstance said to undermine public trust. Still another obstacle to change was a fear of loss of authority to public involvement.
The National Environmental Policy Act of 1970 became a vehicle for legal opposition to national forest practice. The Forest Service repeatedly lost court cases dealing with NEPA compliance until intensive training reversed this relation. Reduction of clearcutting lagged until the National Forest Management Act of 1976. Below-cost timber sales were terminated only by Congressional direction in 1995.
The author sees a need for measures of the effectiveness of multiple-use policies and stronger integration of science in decisions. The role of science is seen as one of defining biological and physical space, but not the management decisions that holistically reflect the values of society, interest groups, and managers. With the recent appearance of ORV's, concern for cultural resources, and wild and scenic rivers, the author returns to his title, that multiple-use management is an everchanging learning experience. |
A Cut Above the Rest - Developing a Circumcision Service
Primary Leader:
John Schmidt
Co-Leaders:
Kavita Warrier
Jim Azim
Jennifer Vredeveld
D'Anna Saul
Maria Skoczylas
Amy Hepper
Objective 1:
1. State the indications and contraindications of the circumcision procedure
Objective 2:
2. Identify potential benefits and barriers of implementing a circumcision service and potential solutions
Objective 3:
3. Practice using the GOMCO clamp technique on a circumcision simulation model
Summary:
There is significant amount of variation in the practice of male circumcisions across the country: in techniques used, procedural pain management, and in what physician groups perform them, both between facilities and even within the same one. Male circumcisions can be a significant source of revenue for a clinical practice but may have barriers both political and practical to being effectively incorporated into current workflows. In this workshop, members of the C.S. Mott Childrens Hospital Pediatric Hospitalist Service at University of Michigan will share their experience in creating a successful male circumcision service. The session will include a brief introduction to the history of male circumcision, the indications/contraindications for the procedure, current recommendations, and different techniques. Financial benefits of incorporating a male circumcision service into your clinical practice will be presented and practical suggestions given as to how it can be efficiently incorporated into your current workflow. The session concludes with the participants being able to practice on a GOMCO clamp circumcision simulator. |

Last year, the Edmonton-native began ritualistically eating each team’s cupcake-representative upon exiting the playoffs. We like this for two reasons: Cupcakes.
This year, he’s got the Bruins winning it all, while he takes the other 15 “Puck Cakes” — which are chocolate shells filled with marshmallow and shortbread — and eats them on Twitter.
