Salt Therapy
Salt Therapy performed at The Ultimate Health Clinic is a 100% natural, drug free treatment.
It relieves congested airways, coughs, sleepless nights due to asthma attacks and other symptoms.
Salt Therapy is a clinically tested DRUG-FREE treatment, which replicates the healing microclimate within a naturally occurring salt cave. This is achieved by using high dispersion, saline diffused air. The dry, diffused salty air is breathed in to relieve health problems such respiratory and skin conditions.
While modern pharmaceuticals provide effective relief from chronic diseases, there are serious side effects associated with repeated or prolonged use. Continuous drug therapy is associated with the possible development of allergic or toxic reactions, development of antibiotic resistent microorganisms, spreading of dysbiosis and long-term immune system compromise.
Our patients normally stop using their antibiotics, corticosteroid, inhalers, antihistamine and other drugs, not because we ask them to, but because they have become symptom-free.
Call 061 315785 for your first natural Salt Therapy treatment.
The Microclimate
The healing microclimate of a natural salt mine is recreated inside a therapeutic salt room using the Prizsalt Halogenerator the highest quality halogenrator medical device on the market , pharmaceutical grade salt is finely milled and accurately mixed with a regulated current of air, which is then evenly dispersed throughout the salt room. is programmed to synchronise particle size, concentration, room temperature and humidity and to maintain the optimum, therapeutic environment for each client. We clean and ventilate the room after each treatment to ensure your personal treatment is exact and hygenic.
Therapeutic Mechanism of Action
The dry, negatively charged, salt enriched air is easily inhaled with the natural breathing rhythm, as the salt particles are very small and hardly noticeable. Because of this, the salt can be inhaled to the deepest level of the lower lungs. This guarantees delivery of the healing benefits of the salt where it is mostly needed. Once in place it dissolves and attracts the positively charged, small impurities, which are later coughed up by the patient or leave the body via metabolic processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a session?
During sessions, a machine grinds up pharmaceutical salt to a fine dust that is then dispersed into the room for you to inhale. You just sit back and relax in our tranquil salt room whilst listening to ambient music with low level mood lighting, You are free to bring a book although you may need to bring a reading light as the room is somewhat darkened.
What should I wear?
We advise you to wear light coloured casual clothing, as the fine salt particles may show up on dark clothing. It does, however, just brush off. It is not necessary to wear gym clothes or bring a change of clothes for afterwards. You will be offered shoe covers to keep the salt on the floor sterile and clean.
How long does a session last?
Sessions last for 45 minutes. Please arrive 10 minutes before your initial session to complete the necessary paperwork.
Am I going to feel anything?
You will feel deeply relaxed and rejuvenated! Just sit back and breathe naturally in the tranquil environment. You may feel the salt tickle your throat or nose as it clears the mucus. Some may also get a slight taste of salt on their lips
Is there an age restriction?
Salt therapy is available to people of all ages. For the children, we have a room with toys and some reading materials, where kids can play, not realising they are receiving therapy.
What is the experience like?
It is similar to visiting a spa. You will be going into the therapy room, the walls and floor are coated with salt and you will be able to relax with a book, MP3 player or just listen to the soothing music and breathe naturally. As there are fine salt particles in the air we would recommend keeping any electronics in a pocket or a plastic sleeve. Phones should be turned off or at least on silent.
How does treatment at Salt Therapy Spa work?
Salt Therapy Spa brings to you the natural microclimate found in salt caves and mines in a controlled environment. While you are in the room, we are infusing a dry salt aerosol into the room. It is the breathing of this aerosol that provides the beneficial effect for a variety of ailments.
How is salt therapy controlled?
Dry sodium chloride aerosol containing particles of 1-5 micrometers in size are produced and infused into this room by a halo generator. The halo generator is programmed to infuse a particular dosage of salt particles into the room.. We can also change the machine settings depending on the needs of the patient. Rooms are ventilated for 15 minutes and fresh filtered air is supplied after each session.
How does Salt therapy alleviate allergies?
Salt is believed to be naturally anti-histaminic. Anti-histamines are important in combatting the body's immune response to allergens. Also, the micro particles of salt reach into every area in the lungs and help destroy bacteria. Sodium chloride has been shown to stimulate production of macrophages which eat bacteria and cellular debris. It has also been shown to improve the viscosity or flow of mucus, which is helpful in expelling allergens and pathogens from the airways.
What do we mean by allergy?
It is a reaction of a person's immune system to something that may not affect other people. Allergy is caused by harmless substances called allergens which provoke an exaggerated reaction from your body. Allergens maybe in the forms of pollen, dust mites, mould spores, pet dander, food, insect stings and even medicines. Symptoms are displayed when your nose, eyes, lungs or skin are exposed to allergens. Allergy symptoms vary and it can cause allergic conjunctivitis, itchiness and runny noses, sneezing, rashes and swelling.
Can Salt therapy relieve my nasal congestion?
If you are suffering from nasal congestion, salt therapy will help decrease the swelling of the "nasal mucosa" which causes nasal blockage. The airways passage of the nose will be widened and the sinus drained..bringing relief!

A lake is a still life that is a simple closed curve made from diagonally connected dominoes. The smallest example is the pond and the next smallest is lake 2. The seven smallest lakes are shown below. The number of cells in a lake is always divisible by 8, and for any multiple of 8 other than 16 there is a lake with that many cells. The number of distinct lakes with 8n cells for n = 1, 2, 3, ... is given by the sequence 1, 0, 1, 1, 4, 7, 31, 98, 446, 1894, 9049, 43151, ... (Sloane's A156228).
Image gallery
Smaller still lifes can be based on lakes by contracting their extremal dominoes into single cells, two at a time. Contracting the pond creates the beehive and the tub. The small lake is a twice contracted lake 2. Larger lakes with complex outlines may be contracted several times, e.g. the 5th lake listed above yields 16 different semilakes.

Violence in Myrtle Beach puts business community on edge
Recent shootings may not lead to an immediate dip in business for tourism-dependent Myrtle Beach, but hoteliers and others say four shooting incidents over the weekend are still bad news for the industry.
"It's too early to say what the full impact on the summer tourism season will be, but we know it's problematic," said Brad Dean, president of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce.
After a spate of shootings in April, Myrtle Beach saw relatively low-crime weekends during Memorial Day weekend and the Carolina Country Music Festival, two events when the city's daytime populations swell significantly and local law enforcement routinely rely on the help of outside agencies to monitor the crowds.
But on the very next weekend after the hectic late May to early June stretch, three shootings were initially confirmed by police and a fourth one is under investigation. One on Ocean Boulevard in the early hours of Sunday sent six people to the hospital. It was livestreamed on Facebook to millions of viewers, and has since been re-reported by multiple national news outlets.
Dean said that the chamber has been "deluged with calls and inquiries on social media" Monday from people wondering if Myrtle Beach is a safe place to vacation, and he's also heard from concerned businesses. He's heard of a few cases of people canceling trips, though it's not common, Dean said.
The Chamber's strategy for promoting the area also has been complicated. (The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber receives millions in local tax dollars each year to advertise the destination out in outside markets). Dean said messaging is different than after an event like a hurricane, when the Chamber works to assure potential tourists the area is open after danger has passed.
"We need a plan that ensures visitors are safe, and we will eagerly tout that to anyone who will listen," Dean said. "This isn't simply a matter of running advertisements telling people to ignore the media and assume they'll be safe. There has to be substance behind that campaign."
Myrtle Beach did institute an over $1 million policing plan after the April shootings.
It's difficult to draw a direct line from high-profile violence to business performance, however.
Taylor Damonte of Coastal Carolina University's Brittain Center for Resort Tourism takes a weekly survey of occupancy at hotels, condo-hotels and campgrounds along the Grand Strand. He used the 2014 Memorial Day weekend shootings as an example of high-profile crime — eight people were injured during three shootings that weekend, leading then-Gov. Nikki Haley to call for the end of a biker rally held during the holiday weekend.
Damonte said that in that case, occupancy fell from an average 74 percent in June 2013 to 71 percent in June 2014, the month immediately after those shootings.
Because of school schedules and other factors, Damonte said, it's hard to draw a direct line to the 2014 shootings for the dip that month, but, "it has had some impact."
"Demand … is a function of lots of different things," Damonte said. "It's a function of what's going on in our competitor markets, that is, how relatively safe families feel going to Orlando or Virginia Beach, or any of the other vacation destinations we compete with, compared to how safe they feel in Myrtle Beach."
And for the whole summer after the 2014 shootings, roughly from Memorial Day to Labor Day, occupancy fell a more modest amount — 0.8 points from the year prior.
The number may seem small, Damonte said, but it can amount to a lot of lost revenue across the wider hospitality industry, especially because the summer is a peak season for room prices. Rates average about three times as high as a slower month, like January.
If the industry saw a 0.8 point occupancy decrease in a single month, Damonte said, that is associated with a loss of 280 jobs across the entire economy, including professional and unskilled jobs.
Tom Moore, general manager of the Hampton Inn & Suites Oceanfront at 1801 S. Ocean Blvd., said he's not expecting occupancy at the 227-room hotel to fall after the shootings. It was 96.5 percent over the weekend, and all the suites are full for the rest of this week.
But, he said, the shootings over the weekend show that violence can happen anywhere — and that's bad for the tourism industry.
"I saw the headlines in the paper today, and wow, that's not a good headline for Myrtle Beach," Moore said. "But you know what? It's the truth. We hate to see that."
"We don't want to see a shooting anywhere. When it's on Ocean Boulevard, it's scary," he added.
Moore said he appreciated local police and the work they've done to respond to the shootings. But he said there need to be more patrols along the boulevard.
"We just need to [do] whatever it takes, if it takes raising taxes, or whatever," Moore said. "We've got to get more police presence."
City council did approve a budget this month that allows for the hire of five new police officers and moves other officers out of desk jobs and onto the street. The move was in response to the shootings in April of this year — some were also on Ocean Boulevard, in a central tourism district, and business owners up and down the strip universally called for more police presence. It also called a special meeting for Tuesday, when officials are expected to discuss public safety on the boulevard.
The city put funding behind the new police positions, but filling law enforcement openings in South Carolina can be a lengthy process. All new hires are trained through a single law enforcement academy, which can back up for months.
Moore said his resort does not have private security. His employees work to patrol the parking lot and watch several security cameras.
But after this weekend, Moore said he was at a loss for what's needed to stem the broader violence.
"It's more guns in people's hands and people are just not — they're more brave than they ever were," Moore said. "It's a whole different world today."

"The SVS PC13-Ultra seemed to easily handle whatever I threw its way. Bass had excellent low end extension, with no bottoming out…At an MSRP of $1,699 it is a real bargain for the performance you are getting!"
The PC13-Ultra Subwoofer Receives Stereowiseplus.com's Editor's Choice Award
"The SVS SB13-Ultra is an exceptional product that is true to SVS's tradition of offering higher performance for the money through R&D and design... this is an exceptionally high-performance subwoofer that can accurately reproduce the sound of music or movies." "Despite turning up the PC13-Ultra way higher than ARC suggested, I never ran out of headroom while watching movies. Not once did the SVS complain, distort, or otherwise signal that it was anywhere near reaching its limits."
SVS PC13-Ultra Subwoofer Review by Soundstage
"The SVS PC-13 Ultra is one of the best subwoofers you can buy." "It offers a range of sound characters to suit different tastes, enough digital features to optimize the sound for any room, and enough power for any conceivable residential application" "The combination of the three sound character options with advanced DSP capabilities and the PC-13 Ultra's sheer muscle gives you the ability to get pretty much any subwoofer sound you could want."
Sound + Vision Reviews the PC-13 Ultra Subwoofer
"If there is a single subwoofer that revolutionized both the price/performance ratio and the way we buy subwoofers, the SVS Powered Cylinder is it." "...what it does do very well is the task of producing accurate and powerful bass with depth and finese that most other subs in this price range cannot match." "Outstanding bandwidth uniformity, linear response, low distortion and true 20Hz extension, etc... There is a whole lot to like about the PB12-NSD..." "...the PB12-NSD fires on all cylinders and provides a bulletproof, low distortion bottom end. $769 shipped to your door is a bargain price for this kind of all around performance."
AVForums' Russell Williams gives the SVS cylinders a Best Buy award!
"So as to not mince words, the PC13-Ultra knocked me on my tail. We're talking wall shaking, glass-rattling, floor-rumbling bass." "The PC13-Ultra is a fantastic subwoofer. It has tons of power, useable output well into the infrasonic range, yet remains musical. How SVSound manages to make such an amazing product for $1,399 is beyond me. It must be that disintermediation thingy. I already own five subwoofers, but I still didn't want to let this one go. Highly recommended!"

The initial assessment has always been an essential part of a fitness program; it can be considered a pre-requisite when starting a training program. It helps identify health conditions and risk factors that may need to first undergo medical evaluation before initiating an exercise program. It also helps detect signs and symptoms suggestive of cardiovascular, pulmonary, and/or metabolic disease. While exercise and physical activity promote numerous physiological, psychological, and emotional benefits, there are some risks that need to be assessed.
An assessment helps identify your goals and leads you on your path to success. At an early stage of a fitness program, motivation plays a key role, as it pushes you to achieve, set health goals, in a given time.
An initial assessment is a valuable tool when embarking on a training program. Without a reliable assessment, it may be hard to gauge where your fitness levels are at. An assessment helps to find out exactly what aspects of your physical fitness need attention. You may be a specific posture type and certain exercises may exaggerate your postural faults and cause injury.
You may be doing MORE HARM than GOOD with your existing training program because bad posture and poor body mechanics cause pain. It's a fact! Therefore, it is always advised to have an initial assessment and find the right program for you and your posture type.
It is essential that you make a goal when seeking some sort of result; without a goal, your motivation diminishes and you lose direction, so it is advisable that you decide on a worthwhile goal and get the right advice on how to get there!

|"Tevildo Prince of Cats" by Kimberly
|Biographical Information
|Physical Description
|Images of Tevildo
Tevildo was the "Prince of Cats" in The Tale of Tinúviel. He appeared in the form of a great black cat with a collar of gold. During the Quest for the Silmaril, Beren was captured by Melko and sent as a servant to Tevildo. However the cat was defeated by Huan and Tinúviel when they forced him to reveal the spell which held the stones of his castle together and which held cats under his evil sway. When his collar was removed the other cats shrunk.[1]
Later Tevildo's place in the narrative was replaced by that of the Necromancer, Thû (later renamed Sauron), in the legendarium. Thû (and later Sauron) was the "Lord of Werewolves", in contrast to Tevildo's position as "Prince of Cats"; the cat-versus-dog theme prominent in the Tale of Tinúviel was thus eliminated in later writings.[1]
[edit] Etymology
The name is Qenya. Although it is not given a literal translation, it is said to derive from the root TEFE signifying hate or hatred. His Gnomish name is Tifil.[2]
The title of "Prince of Cats" had also been used for the character Tybalt from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Speaking from a child's point of view, sometimes the logic is this. Why do you need to be tidy – and why do mom and dad care? They don't go into your room for stuff. If I know where everything is, that's good! It doesn't matter if it's messy as long as I can get around. Now, sometimes, there is the chance that you don't make your mess, or maybe you didn't even know it was there. This sounds extreme – let me explain. Let's just say you had a long school day and you come home and change. Maybe you forget to put your shirt in the hamper because you were thinking about something. Then, you try to close your drawer but it bounces back open because you're skirt is hanging out. You've already turned around, not noticing, so you just leave it. When you go into the living room your mom tells you to put your shoes in your room – but you really wanted to finish the video you were watching, so you throw them into your closet, completely oblivious to the fact that your long sleeve shirt & dress just fell down.
That's just the start. This mess could accumulate for days. Finally, when you come back into the house feeling like you just want to chill & read a good book in your room, it's a complete mess! Your first thought? Close the door! Second thought? The book will have to wait. Third thought? I'm hungry. So now that you've cleaned your room, and it looks fantastic, of COURSE you're going to show your parents! Who doesn't like to be praised for doing something special? (Now, only children around 5 to 10 do this – ages above would just proceed to "chill and read a good book.") When you are done, you feel even happier inside! Now, you get to read a book. During the book, your parents call dinner. Where does that book go? Right back into the shelf. Right after a "room cleaning spree" you generally feel obliged to do your best to clean your room – however this usually lasts for about a week. After that the whole process starts over. (For younger kids, sometimes they don't feel obliged to keep their rooms clean, and the process starts over in around 5 hours). For me, I like to just put efforts in to keep my room clean. My mom goes crazy when my room is messy. What I don't get is that it's not messy that often. I think that she's either blind, or just attracted to messes. I swear, she comes into my room when it's either messy, or when I'm making a mess. My excuse? I'm an artist. But that's a whole other story.

Spinal stenosis — narrowing of the spinal canal — compresses the spinal nerve roots resulting in muscle weakness, numbness, and pain. It is caused by degenerative changes in the spine, including osteoarthritis. The goals of spinal stenosis treatment are to improve sensory and motor function, reduce pain, remove pressure from the spinal nerves, and manage other symptoms.
Spinal stenosis treatment in Arizona at Dignity Health often follows a series of steps called a "ladder" approach. They include physical therapy, medications, corticosteroid injections, and surgery. Your doctor will make a concerted effort to treat your symptoms using conservative treatments before trying surgical repairs. Call 844.268.2730 or Find a Doctor online who specializes in spinal stenosis pain relief.
Dignity Health provides neurological care for spinal stenosis symptoms and other spine disorders at:
Physical therapy does not stop the progression of arthritis or narrowing of the spinal canal. However, it can improve strength and flexibility in the muscles that support the spine. Exercises that help you maintain good posture can reduce pain by taking pressure off the spinal nerves.
Your doctor may recommend medications to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation, including:
If your spinal stenosis symptoms do not improve with physical therapy or medication, your doctor may recommend spinal injections. During this procedure, the doctor injects a corticosteroid along with a numbing agent into the small space next to your spinal cord. These injections can relieve pain for weeks or months.
Sometimes surgery is necessary to reduce pressure on the spinal nerves and relieve symptoms. These procedures include:
In addition to your specific symptoms, your treatment options for spinal stenosis depend on your personal preferences and overall health. All therapies, including injections and medications, have risks. Your doctor will tell you about the relative benefits and risks of each treatment and will work with you to develop a plan that meets your needs.

The Zone Shield iPhone Case Hidden Camera hides a tiny hidden spy camera in the end of an innocent looking iPhone case, and the best part is no matter how you lay it down, front or back, the video will flip to record right side up. Check out this video showing how the video flips automatically when you rotate the camera;
So what does this mean? Well, instead of using the phones built-in camera and giving away the fact you recording, now you can just hold the phone at your side, and point the bottom at whatever you want, and it does not matter if the camera is facing up or down. You won't see it on the camera, its recorded to internal memory inside the DVR.
So if something comes up that you need to record right away, just turn it on, hit one button and start recording totally covert surveillance video without looking like you are recording video. How cool is that??
This way you won't blow your cover if you are using it to record covert field video. And for all Law Enforcement or Federal agents, and anyone who lives outside the USA, you can get it with audio. We can not provide to a citizen in the US, sorry, its federal law.

The decision to migrate to Windows 7 is both a business decision and a technical one. In this first article, we examine the pros and cons of the choice from a technical angle.
Bigger, better, faster
It's official: Windows 7 is a lot quicker and more reliable than both XP and Vista, as validated by numerous independent benchmarks. It can also take full advantage of the 64-bit, multicore and hyper-threading processor technologies now widespread even on low-cost PCs, resulting in a platform that boots quicker and requires far less in terms of both processing power and memory resources.
It's a lot more efficient at handling the desktop UI, connecting to network resources and handling storage. All of these points add up to a faster operating system and more responsive applications, even on relatively low-spec laptops.
Windows 7 also improves upon its predecessors by running background processes only when needed and adding networking enhancements, especially on the wireless side. There are also major improvements when it comes to putting PCs to sleep and waking them up again, making the process quicker and a lot more reliable than in early versions of Windows.
But do you really need all this extra pizazz? There are lots of ways to increase desktop performance without the cost and upheaval required to swap out the operating system. For example, adding more RAM will give most desktops an instant lift and is something you probably need to do anyway, even if set on migrating to Windows 7. Moreover, if maximising performance is your goal, there are a number of other alternatives such as desktop virtualisation — where processing can be partly offloaded to powerful servers — or switching to a different, leaner operating system altogether.
Fundamentally secure — or not?
According to Microsoft, Windows 7 is a "fundamentally secure platform" and a major step up in security terms from XP and Vista. Whether that's true or not is open to debate, but there are certainly plenty of security enhancements, many building on technologies introduced in Vista that Windows 7 makes better and easier to apply.
BitLocker drive encryption, for example, is extended to support removable media in BitLocker To Go. User Access Control (UAC) technology, where additional privileges are needed for OS changes to be made, is now far less obtrusive.
There are new tools as well, including AppLocker, which can be used to lock down and control user applications, and DirectAccess, giving remote and mobile workers secure network access without the need for a complex VPN setup. Built-in support for smartcards and biometric authentication technologies such as fingerprint readers is now standard; the built-in firewall gets support for multiple active policies. There are numerous security enhancements in the Internet Explorer (IE) 8 browser.
It's not all good news. Windows 7 is far from invincible. Its vulnerabilities will require regular patching to stay secure. More than that, there are limits as to how secure Windows can be made. As a result...
...the majority of businesses will already have network firewall, antivirus, anti-spam, anti-spyware and other defences in place. These will generally work regardless of the desktop platform involved, so are the security enhancements in Windows 7 really going to make that much difference?
More compatible this time around
It's important to look at how well — or otherwise — Windows 7 is at working with your existing devices and applications, especially given that a lack of compatibility proved to be one of the biggest stumbling blocks for businesses considering the migration to the last big Windows release, Vista.
Apart from necessary extensions to embrace new features and technologies, driver and application interfaces are more-or-less unchanged from Vista to Windows 7. Moreover, having had plenty of time to sort out the bugs on Vista, there should be far fewer problems getting third-party products to work with its successor.
Some compatibility issues are inevitable, however, and there will always be applications that either can't be made to work or that will need expensive updates before they can. These situations can be handled by the built-in XP Mode option, which is effectively a bundled copy of Microsoft Virtual PC, running a Windows XP virtual machine on the Windows 7 desktop.
XP Mode is a neat way of getting around a lot of compatibility issues, but isn't a complete solution and adds extra complexity that may be hard for users to understand. Some companies may opt for a partial migration and keep some older systems to run such applications, or they may delay migration to Windows 7 altogether until all of the compatibility bugs are ironed out.
Management and support
Finally, there's the little matter of management and support — major factors when it comes to overall cost of ownership. Windows 7 has much to commend it, including an intuitive interface that should enable users to become more productive once familiar with how it works and make fewer calls to the help desk.
Windows 7 also comes with tools to help with common management tasks, including the ability to run PowerShell scripts and commands both locally and on remote PCs. There are extra management benefits to be gained from deploying Windows 7 together with Windows Server 2008 and using Microsoft's System Center tools to manage the setup.
System Center is not the only management platform around, though, and a lot of companies will have well-established solutions that will have to be revised and updated in order to support Windows 7.
Again, this can add to both the cost and complexity of the project. Just as with the performance, security and compatibility, it's a matter of 'buyer beware', calling for careful research into what your business has to gain and lose, before deciding whether or not Windows 7 is what you really need.

SoftBank Group Corp., a Japanese multinational telecommunications and Internet corporation, with operations in broadband, fixed-line telecommunications, etc. is set to acquire U.K.'s ARM Holdings. Amount that will change hands during the acquisition is a whopping 32.2 Billion USD (or 24.3 billion Pound Sterling). Under the offer backed by ARM Holding's board, SoftBank will pay 17 pounds for every ARM share – a premium of over 40% to Friday's close. ARM shares surged nearly 43% to 16.99 pounds by 1350 IST.
ARM is a British semiconductor and software design company and is the largest London based company by market value. ARM chips are currently used in laptops, printers, etc. ARM's graphic technology and processors are used by Apple, Samsung, Hewlett-Packard in their microchips. ARM has also diversified into other connected devices from cameras to cars as smartphone growth has relatively slowed down.
SoftBank's Finances & Goals
This move by SoftBank is being seen a part of newfound interest by Japanese companies to expand their operations overseas. SoftBank has raised nearly 19 Billion USD over the last few months through asset disposals including sale of its shares in Alibaba. This decision is seen by analysts as a response to battered pound following Brexit and strengthening Yen. SoftBank has a interest-bearing debt of 11.9 trillion yen at the March end of this year.
"ARM will be the center of the Internet of Things, in which everything will be connected," SoftBank CEO Mayayoshi Son told reporters. "Lot is going to be the biggest paradigm shift in human history (and) we have always invested at the beginning of every paradigm shift." He further added, "This is one of the most important acquisitions we have ever made and I expect ARM to be a key pillar of SoftBank's growth strategy going forward".
The acquisition is first for Son since he rescinded his retirement plans last month.

Brian Hoskins, then and now
The question of how fair a representation the Royal Meteorological Society has given of the reliability of climate models has been discussed in a couple of posts now and readers seem to have concluded that if you wade through the obfuscation they are in fact only giving weak support to climate models. I don't think anyone has made the case that they have given a clear and balanced account though. In my opinion, by speaking of "a confidence in the models' suitability for their application in detection and attribution studies and for quantitative future predictions and projections" the authors strongly imply that such a confidence in fact exists.
I thought it might be interesting to see what the Science-y Grantham Institute at Imperial (as opposed to the eco-warrior bit at LSE) had to say on the subject. The author team behind the submission was headed by Brian Hoskins, who has been quite vocal on the subject of climate models. Famously, he described them as "lousy" and "terrible" in an interview with the Economist in 2010.
Here's what he has to tell politicians on the subject at the end of 2013:
The IPCC AR5 WG1 dedicates one whole chapter of its report (Chapter 9) to the evaluation of climate models. The summary to this chapter gives a fair assessment of the improvements made by climate modellers since the last Assessment report (AR4) as well as the remaining challenges. For example, the AR5 WG1 TS suggests that some models may be too responsive to the effects of greenhouse gases. We do not yet fully and quantitatively understand the slowdown in surface warming (see our answer to Q9 for further comment).
We agree however, with the key conclusion of the authors of Chapter 9 that, "Climate and Earth System models are based on physical principles, and they reproduce many important aspects of observed climate. Both aspects contribute to our confidence in the models' suitability for their application in detection and attribution studies (Chapter 10) and for quantitative future predictions and projections."
This does not imply bind acceptance of the results from the current models: continual questioning of the results and improvements in the models is crucial.
The similarity in approach to the Royal Meteorological Society is striking: there is exactly the same ambiguity, allowing the authors insinuate that the scientific community has confidence that the models are suitable for quantitative prediction while giving them plausible deniability in future. However, as you can see, the Grantham statement is at least surrounded by caveats about the unknowns of the climate system, so it's a better summary of the state of play than the weathermen's.
That said, you really don't get a sense of "lousy" and "terrible", do you?

WI League of Conservation Voters Independent Expenditure Committee
Posted: May 8, 2012
Updated: January 15, 2014
Fall: Oath • Spending
Recall: Oath • Spending
This corporation was created in 2011 by the league, a statewide environmental lobbying and advocacy group, to make independent expenditures on behalf of Democratic candidates in the 2011state senate recall elections, elections prompted by passage of Republican Governor Scott Walker's 2011 bill sharply restricting public employee collective bargaining rights. This corporation and the group's political action committee spent about $98,000 in the 2011 recall elections.
Fall Election
The league made independent expenditures on behalf of Democrats in the 51st Assembly District and Senate Districts 6, 18 and 30.
Recall Election
Two weeks before the June 2012 recall elections that targeted Walker, Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch and four GOP Senate seats, the corporation reported spending more than $88,000 on television ads against Walker and Republican Senators Van Wanggaard of Racine and Terry Moulton of Chippewa Falls. The virtually identical 30-second television ads accused them of supporting generous tax breaks for corporations and wealthy individuals at the expense of state aid to public education. The corporation spent over $136,000 on the 2012 recall elections.
Last active election: Recall 2011
This organization is registered with the Government Accountability Board following the January 2010 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v. FEC as a corporation making independent disbursements.

Elastomer – a soft, safe sex toy material with no phthalates.
Elastomer toys share many of the same positive qualities of jelly adult toys, but without the possible health concerns of phthalates, which is why we offer sex toys made from elastomer in place of jelly.
Elastomer is a new technology material and incorporates Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) and Thermoplastic Rubbers (TPR).
The word elastomer comes from two terms – "elastic" (describing the material's quality to return to its original shape) and "mer" (from polymer meaning "many parts").
Elastomers start out soft and have hardeners added – this means that elastomer toys can vary from being super-soft & super-stretchy like the Lurve Heart Vibrating Cock Ring to being firm & dense-feeling like the Happy Vibrating Cock Ring or the Happy Duo Vibrator.
Vibrators and other adult sex toys made from elastomer feel smooth, soft and dry (unlike jelly toys which can feel tacky) and looks glossy. They give amazing sensations especially if it has a design that features tickly "prongs" that dance away with the vibration.
If you fancy a rabbit-style vibe, but are concerned about phthalates that are in many these vibes, or have been put off by the chemical smell/sticky feel of your rabbit vibrator, we are happy to say there ALL our rabbit vibrators are made of body-safe materials; Sh! Waterproof Rabbit Vibrator & Sh! Jessica Rabbit Vibrator are made from elastomer – all the same fab rabbit-vibe qualities but without the drawbacks of jelly material.
As fabulous a elastomer is, there are downsides to this material. First of all, elastomer is porous. This means you have to be meticulous when cleaning an elastomer toy. Being porous also means that elastomer toys cannot be effectively disinfected, so no sharing, with other people or between vaginal and anal play by yourself, unless covered with a condom.
Secondly, soft elastomer toys seem to react weirdly with condoms – when we tested this in our London store the two materials started to fuse together- granted the condom was left on for days so not really a true-to-life experiment, but it's worth noting. Firmer elastomer toys seem ok.
Elastomer toys can absorb your natural juices, so make sure you have a bottle of your water-based lube handy.
Pros of Elastomer TPE/TPR Sex Toy Material:
• Phthalate-free
• Latex-free
• Hypo-allergenic
• Most commonly used in higher quality toys which also usually means better quality motors, switches etc.
• Recyclable
Cons of Elastomer TPE/TPR Sex Toy Material:
• Can be expensive
• Porous (can't be disinfected)
• May not be compatible with latex so don't use with condoms or store next to other adult toys especially those made from jelly.
Care & Cleaning of Elastomer TPE/TPR
Clean with very mild soap and water (harsh soaps can start to dissolve the surface). Better still use a special toy cleaner like Sh! Toy Cleaner. Dry thoroughly and store in a cool, dry, fluff-free place away from sunlight and any other toys.
Overall Verdict of Elastomer
A good choice for a soft, safe toy and its super-stretchiness is unrivaled in other sex toy materials.

Well the job was never going to do itself. After 60 years I've learned to take things slowly when completing a new, difficult and expensive task. The glass is definitely expensive and as I've never previously installed a splashback I was determined to take my time. The fact that there isn't much room inside the cabin also makes the job interesting.
The first step was to remove the 240V power outlets and their timber surrounds. The latter had been both glued and screwed so I needed to use a piece of 4x2 and the club hammer to break the glue seal with the wall. Jan then cleaned any surplus glue and timber off the back of the mounting blocks using my Leatherman. The next step was to check the delivered glass actually fits the galley. Jan and I positioned each piece in turn noting where the gaps were required for the sealer.
In order to ensure there is room between the bottom edge of the glass and the bench top I have purchased some 4mm thick pine which I cut into short lengths to act as packing. This will enable me to add a bead of Sikaflex after the glass has been secured.
The glass was then placed on two footstools and I marked the outer edges with paper tape. I thought it would be easier to do it at this stage rather than attempt to apply the tape after the panel was in place.
There will be corresponding masking tape on the wall after the glass has been secured. Then I'll be able to apply the silicone sealer between the two sets of tape. hopefully this will avoid getting silicone sealer and Sikaflex everywhere. I don't want my index finger glued to my nose!
Once the tape was applied the panel was turned over. The Sikaflex was the applied in a series of vertical and horizontal 3-4mm beads using a caulking gun. I deliberately avoided placing a bead of adhesive anywhere near the edges of the panel as I knew we'd have to get our fingers into those areas in order to position the panel. As it was we managed to get Sikaflex onto the power sockets, cables and our fingers when positioning the first panel. We needed to pause and clean the glue off ourselves as had already started re-contaminating our fingers and the panel.
Eventually we had the panel in position and I re-fitted the power sockets whilst Jan held the panel. The power socket surrounds then held the panel in place.
The power sockets were then refitted to the timber mounting blocks. Once the Sikaflex has set I will remove the mounting blocks and smear the reverse side with silicone sealer before re-fitting them. This will minimize the potential for any water to get behind the mounting blocks potentially causing the timber to swell and split.
Fitting the main panel on the starboard side went better than we had expected so we moved on and fitted the main panel on the port side using the same method.
The is another piece of glass that fits under the side hatch and butts against the large panel. I had requested this be one panel but the manufacturer told me they couldn't make the panel as a single piece because the long thin portion might break during the firing process when the toughen the glass. As a consequence we will have a join between the two pieces.
More to follow tomorrow…….

This might seem preposterous, but in our work as one of the best recruitment agencies in Gujarat and while collaborating on talent hunts with other recruitment agencies in India, we have found that many recruiters work hard to interview their applicants, but lose track when interviewing face-to-face.
Different humans have different personality traits and capacities of influence, and it is not uncommon to face candidates who can exert enough influence to make an interviewer lose track of his objectives.
This is why, besides understanding the job functions and job requirements of an open position and besides preparing lists of competency based questions or behavioral questions – it is essential for a recruiter to prepare an interview format and keep the interview on track.
Why recruiters use interview formats
Quite often, even experienced recruiters are hit by common dilemmas of interviewing. Which question should be asked first? Should they jump right in with competency based questions? If so, what should be the first question? Should the interviewer begin by providing some information about the job and the company? How much information to give? What is the correct order to give and receive information? How can a recruiter keep encouraging interviewees to keep talking but still keep them on track? How to end the interview?
Preparing an interview format is necessary so that recruiters do not face dilemmas during interviews.
Formats provide structures to interviews. They are beneficial both to recruiter and candidates, and they provide a checklist to interviewers to make sure that all necessary information has been gathered through the interview.
Five main areas of any interview format
Whatever format may be used in an interview, it can generally be broken down into five critical phases.
- Introductory remarks: This phase is all about introducing each other and conveying what the candidate can expect for the next hour or so. The tone of the meeting is set during introductory remarks, and while this may seem overly formal, it removes any ambiguities about the content of the interview. It also signals to candidates that the interviewer is in control.
- Introductory questions: Questions about an applicant's work history and education, and how they relate to present job requirements. Other questions related to suitableness of a candidate are also asked during this phase.
- Providing information: Providing clear information about the job opening, the compensation package, the responsibilities, and the benefits of the position when working in this particular organization.
- Answering questions: Answering the candidate's questions about the job and the organization.
- Informing the applicant about next steps: Ending the interview on a positive note and informing the candidate on his or her next options, or what the organization expects in the next phase. The final stage is extremely important for the interviewer. At this phase the interviewer also has to ask himself or herself: Have I gathered enough information to determine job suitability? Have I provided enough information about the organization and adequately described the job? Have I discussed salary, growth opportunities, and other related topics that the organization wants me to discuss? Have I allowed the applicant to ask questions and receive answers? At the summing up phase, the interviewer not only has to sum up an interview to the candidate, but also to himself or herself for recruitment efforts to be successful.
Actually, steps 2-4 above do not need elaboration to interviewers, but our work with placement agencies in Gujarat show that somehow, most get it wrong in the first and last phases of an interview, and these are the most critical.
There is no set pattern to an interview format, however these five critical phases remain in any primary interview and the sequence between stages 2-4 are altered according to need, or they blend into each other, while the first and fifth stage are left virtually unchanged.

Looks like the new Focus RS will be electrified.
The all-new Ford Focus won't be debuting at the Geneva Motor Show next week. Instead, it will be revealed at a separate event in Europe this April. It makes sense, since the next-gen hatchback will be able to steal the spotlight without having to vie for your attention at a crowded motor show. However, thanks to a leaked photo of the car completely undisguised taken from a photoshoot in Portugal, we already have a good idea of what it will look like. Unfortunately for Ford, new details about the new Focus have also now emerged.
A new report by Dutch site AutoInternationaal claims that the new Focus will be around 50 mm longer than the outgoing model, which will increase rear legroom for passengers. It will also be around 110 pounds lighter, depending on the model variant. The report goes on to say that the dashboard in the new Focus will be more hi-tech and feature less physical buttons in favor of a tablet-centric layout. Most infotainment functions will be controlled using the touchscreen display. The juiciest piece of gossip from the report, however, concerns the new range-topping Focus RS hot hatch.
According to the publication, the next-generation Focus RS will adopt a mild hybrid powertrain, as the Blue Oval company is apparently developing a 48-volt electric system to compete with its rivals. Combined with an integrated starter-generator and an upgraded 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbo engine, this setup will reportedly deliver a hefty 400 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of peak torque. Like the current Focus RS, the new model will be offered with a six-speed automatic gearbox. A dual-clutch automatic is also said to be in development. AutoInternationaal claims the hybrid powertrain will enable the new Focus RS to hit 0-62 mph in just four seconds.
That would make it it 0.7 seconds quicker off the line than the current Focus RS and slightly faster than the Audi RS3 and the Mercedes-AMG A45. Before the Focus RS arrives, Ford is expected to unveil the new Focus ST, which is rumored for a Paris Auto Show debut in October packing around 280 – 290 hp provided by a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine.

Although we all already knew it, brexit is a disaster from beginning to end. Leaving the EU will be a costly mistake that will eventually get reversed but not before it has plunged Britain into a great depression. The Tories are still rent apart by the moronic 'bastards' that John Major warned of but even some of their number can see what an absolute turd sandwich they have served up. Any ideas of exploiting brexit for personal aggrandisement and gain have been brutally exposed and only electoral oblivion awaits them and their party.
The Tories are poison to British democracy and have been nothing short of ruinous to the British economy and the welfare of British citizens. The Tories are absolutely toxic yet the LibDems are countenancing returning to some form of power sharing. It is easy to see the advantage for the Tories in such a deal. The Tories can step away from the disastrous road they are currently hurtling down with brexit and they can shore up their voting position in the Commons to pass through the bread and butter policies that will continue their asset-stripping of decades of public investment. All done with the LibDems as convenient scapegoats at the next election (they imagine). But what's in it for the LibDems?
The LibDems firmly believe that electoral salvation lies within curtailing brexit. Their delusional thinking casts them as saviours that the electorate will reward with bounty. So ignorant of public sentiment and desire for government change and change of policies, the LibDems do not understand that the repercussions of continued Tory government will negate any interest in what happens with brexit. The LibDems are planning to fuel the house fire until nothing is left but ashes, so that they can emerge from the soot holding the door keys that they have rescued.
The LibDems think that brexit is the big issue and are ignoring the fact that the Tories will continue to wreck the British economy, regardless of brexit. The Tories will continue to destroy the NHS and the public sector, regardless of brexit. The LibDems have missed the simple fact that Britain are waking up to what damage the Tories are doing and want them gone from government. That a figure and co-architect of austerity like Vince Cable can come back to the party and assume the leadership says all that anyone needs to know about the quality of MPs within the LibDems. If the person who lost Britain a £billion in the Royal Mail sell off can command the party, then they are as threadbare as the Tories when it comes to talent, something that will be brutally exposed in the next election. It also says a lot for the state of British politics that the major parties do not attract the calibre of people that represent the level of thought to lead us through the 21st Century.
Britain has a political system and a distribution of political power and influence that is not fit for purpose and that attracts dross. The ranks and files clogging up the political machinery serve party politics and reward the self-serving. Demonstrate your party loyalty and you will be rewarded. Party politics is no longer fit for purpose in governing Britain. We have a current government led by a person that was resolutely rejected by the electorate and a party whose slim majority was rescinded and yet they can shamble forth as if the election hadn't taken place.
The correct political decision for the LibDems is to press for another general election; likely, the LibDems would make gains in seats where voters are tired of the fetid stench of this Tory leadership. What Britain needs to do is start a conversation about how we can define politics and what we expect of politicians in a way that serves us best, not the interests of the few it currently serves. The Tories are proving that British politics is currently played by shambolic, self-serving imbeciles and the LibDems have an opportunity to align themselves with those imbeciles or to attempt to get ahead of the curve and champion political and electoral reform. I suspect that, if the LibDems permit Cable the leadership of the party and they head in the direction being currently hinted at, electoral oblivion awaits the LibDems alongside the Conservative Party.

Our wound care program is important to those who suffer from ulcers on their feet. Here at Jan David Tepper, DPM Inc., we acknowledge and act fast at the first onset of a wound(s) for diabetic and non-diabetic patients in order to promote limb salvage. Through our comprehensive wound care program there are various treatment options that can help you.
Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Wound Care Signs and Symptoms
When used in the context of diabetes, "wound" can pertain to issues like blisters, bruises, bumps, burns, calluses, cuts, and even ingrown toenails. Essentially, any possible abnormality, condition, or injury is a cause for concern and should be evaluated and treated at our Upland, CA office.
There is a wide array of symptoms that can be indicative of their presence which may include:
- Chills and/or fever, which is usually an indication of an infection
- Chronic pain (please be mindful of the fact that complete painlessness with diabetes is also concerning)
- Dulling of sensations or even numbness in the lower limbs
- Signs of infection – discharge, drainage, foul odor, and dead tissue (gangrene)
- Signs of inflammation – heat, pain, redness, swelling, and loss of function
Individuals who are otherwise healthy can also develop wounds (and should provide proper treatment for them as well), but several issues that accompany diabetes can increase the risk posed by a wound. These include:
- Blood sugar levels – Elevated glucose levels cause blood vessels to narrow, which then reduces the body's ability to provide appropriate quantities of blood to affected areas.
- Diabetic neuropathy – The inability to feel pain at the time of injury leaves you unable to provide proper care (which then increases your risk of infection).
- Immune system deficiency – Diabetes makes the immune system, as a whole, less effective. This can be attributed to certain hormones and enzymes produced in response to elevated blood sugar levels.
- Reduced blood flow – Both the white and red cells that fight infection and provide nutrients, respectively, are carried in your bloodstream.
Treating and Preventing Diabetic Wounds
Seeking medical treatment for your wound is best performed at the earliest possible opportunity. This means to come in and see us as soon as you notice any changes from normal skin appearance in your daily foot inspection. We take care of wounds by:
- Making sure the wound is clean and dressed
- Providing total contact cast(s) for offloading
- Performing circulation study test
- Healing and closing the wound with advanced skin graft(s)
- Removing infected or dead tissues so healthy tissue can safely grow
- Implementing our diabetic shoe program
The primary steps we take in controlling the wound(s) as a successful part of our wound care program:
- Blood sugar control
- Circulation (this is part of our circulation study test)
- Control the infection, if there is one
- Decrease pressure on the wound(s)
- Nutrition/diet
The best place for you to start preventing diabetic wounds is with a carefully-prepared diabetic foot care plan. If you don't already have one, now is the time to change that!
If you live with diabetes and/or see anything unusual or abnormal, it should be considered a source of concern and carefully monitored for potential skin breakdown. If you have any of the above symptoms or concerns about your feet contact our office and we can help you!
Contact Jan David Tepper, DPM Inc. at (909) 920-0884 for more information, or to be set up with an appointment with our Upland, CA podiatrist office.

Yesterday I talked about the 25+ photographs you must have in order to prove your personal injury or property damage case. Today let's discuss why doing an investigation is so important. I will use a wrongful death case to demonstrate the critical nature of knowing the facts and talking to the witnesses.
A call came in from a Chicago lawyer asking me to assist with a northeast Iowa client's accident. The accident happened in Wisconsin and involved three semi-trucks, a mini-van and a sedan. Our client's husband was one of the semi-truck driver's; both driver's died in this head-on crash. My guy's truck was heading south on a two-lane northeastern Wisconsin road. The northbound driver came across the center line striking our client's truck. For purposes of this discussion let us assume the other driver is the at-fault driver.
His insurance company informed me the reason he came across the center line was that the passenger side front tire blew causing the truck to overcorrect and forcing him to suddenly and without any warning go across the center line. The adjuster claimed a witness heard the tire blow. The adjuster had a mechanic remove the tires to preserve them.
The next day I flew to northeastern Wisconsin to investigate. Locating the mechanic he and I reviewed how he removed the tires and marked them. In the process of reviewing what he did it became clear to him, that he'd mixed up the front tires and in fact the tire that was damaged was the one involved in the initial impact. The reason the tire had blown was the impact between the two semi-trucks.
But what about the loud bang that witness heard?
I located the witness who lived in a house where the accident happened. He was raking his leaves and agreed to review his recorded statement. He raked, I read and we talked. It didn't take long for him to appreciate that in fact he hadn't heard a tire blow. What he heard were the rear-view mirrors hitting as the first two semi-truck's passed as the at-fault driver began coming towards the center line. This witness was now willing to testify, under oath, that the loud sound, the bang he initially heard had to be the two mirrors slapping. His initial assumption had omitted the timing and location of when the sound was heard.
With this information, I then approached the driver of the first semi-truck. He told me he looked right at the driver of the at-fault semi-truck and he was falling asleep.
We settled for $650,000.00. It was an investigation I was proud to be a part of. It's one I will never forget.
It is likely the most important decision a client makes is when to hire a lawyer to handle their personal injury case. There are times when waiting or delaying the decision makes no difference, but there are other times when delaying even one day allows evidence to be destroyed. Destruction of evidence may be innocent, but when it comes to the burden of proof, a lack of evidence will nevertheless destroy a case or diminish the likelihood it can be proven.

This is how i am generating a unique no in between 1 to 6 and getting appropriate images from the drawable folder.
Random rand = new Random();
// n = the number of images, that start at idx 1
rndInt = rand.nextInt(6) + 1;
String imgName = "card" + rndInt;
int id = getResources().getIdentifier(imgName, "drawable", getPackageName());
What i want is, I have to call this method 7 times, and each time this method should return a unique random no. so that none of the already chosen numbers will come up again.

Wearable high-density diffuse optical tomography technologies
Newborn infants who suffer a brain injury often go on to develop cerebral palsy (CP). Early diagnosis of CP is critical because during the first weeks of life, the brain is likely to be at its most susceptible to treatment. In healthy children, the parts of the brain that control movement and receive somatosensory input are organized like a map of the body. This organization is disrupted in CP. If we can monitor the emergence of this disruption in the infant brain, it should be possible to identify those infants that are developing abnormally much earlier than is currently possible. UCL are world leaders in Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT): a technique that uses near-infrared light to produce 3D images of brain function. It has recently been demonstrated that high-density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT) can produce functional images that are comparable in quality to those of fMRI. However, DOT technologies are limited by the fact that most systems employ many bulky optical fibres. Our team have begun to develop miniaturized, fibreless, wearable HD- DOT systems. In the last 6 months, our prototype became the first such system to produce functional images of the human brain. This technology has the potential to have a significant impact on the understanding and monitoring of newborn brain injury and CP. Furthermore, because it will enable high-quality functional images of the brain to be obtained in almost any environment, it has profound implications for real-time and continuous monitoring of brain injury and numerous other clinical applications.
Aims and Objectives:
The PhD student undertaking this project will play a critical role in developing a new generation of wearable functional neuroimaging systems, and will spearhead their application and translation to the neonatal intensive care unit.
