Hilton Head sanitizes town hall after employee comes down with the flu
Town of Hilton Head Island officials are taking extra measures to clean town hall and fire stations after learning an employee is believed to have the H1N1 virus, or swine flu, according to an e-mail town manager Steve Riley sent to staff members Friday afternoon.
The case is not confirmed because the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control is no longer testing for the virus, according to the e-mail. Anyone with flu symptoms is being treated for the H1N1 virus because it is the primary strain circulating, Riley wrote.No information was released about the employee.
At town hall and at the island's seven fire stations, cleaning crews were directed to wipe down frequently touched surfaces, including countertops, telephones and door handles, the town manager wrote. The town also will provide disinfectant wipes so employees can clean their offices.
"We're going to follow the guidelines from DHEC," Riley said Saturday afternoon.
Last Tuesday, the Children's Center on Hilton Head discovered a 1-year-old girl who attends the center had a confirmed case of H1N1.She spent several days at Beaufort Memorial Hospital after her father noticed she was having difficulty breathing. Like the Town of Hilton Head, the day care center scheduled heavy cleanings of its facility.
Earlier this week, Nick Davidson, DHEC's local public health preparedness director, said there are few differences between the signs and symptoms of the H1N1 virus and the seasonal flu.
"You don't need to react any differently than cases in mid-winter," he said last Wednesday.
Davidson said DHEC will offer seasonal flu vaccines in the fall and vaccines for the H1N1 virus by the end of the year.

Psychology is the scientific study of the brain and behavior. Psychology majors examine human behavior, experiences, and the functioning of the mind in relation to heredity, development, personality, and social functions. Students majoring in psychology complete requirements for a Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) degree.
The psychology major is designed to give students the academic foundation for success in graduate study and for applied areas of psychology such as social work, counseling, education, business and human services.
Travis Scheadler Promoting Undergraduate Student Research in Sport Psychology
Wilmington College sophomore Travis Scheadler is looking forward to sharing his interest in research with undergraduate psychology students across the country as the youngest delegate ever named to the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP).
Scheadler, of Goshen, has a dual major in psychology and exercise science, a suitable combination for one looking to pursue a career in clinical sport psychology.

Ono Hawaiian Grinds/
People who live in Hawaii know without a doubt, that ono (delicious) food in Hawaii is easy to come by. One of my reasons for this post today is to help spread the word to visitors that eating your way across Hawaii is a perfectly acceptable pastime.
I am 1,000 percent behind our local farmers and coffee growers. I buy local as much as possible, and grow a fair amount of the fruit that I serve for breakfast. I hope to have fresh duck and chicken eggs available for guests in another few months as well. My little bed and breakfast farm is growing.
I spent a few hours sampling goodies in the booths, buying flowers, and watching the beautiful hula dancers. The Taiko drummers were getting ready to perform as I was leaving. I am posting a shot of them in preparation. It really was a pleasant way to spend the afternoon.
I am also posting a picture of Jessie from "Coffees of Hawaii", on Molokai. Jessie was recently a guest at Hale Ho'okipa Inn and she shared samples of all the delicious coffee at breakfast. I prefer tea to coffee, so I cannot speak from experience, but my guests all raved about their morning coffee.
Coffees of Hawaii. If you can't make it to Hawaii, some of our best products can make it to you. Treat yourself and check out a few to sample. Other choices would be Maui Grown Coffee and my webmaster's favorite organic Kona coffee.
Kumu Farms from Molokai also had a booth at the Ag Fest. I buy papayas from these folks when I don't have any ripe ones. They yeild 20,000 pounds of papaya each week. The Kumu Farms has been in operation for almost 30 years and they also grow many of the fresh herbs that are in the markets.
O'o Farm in upcountry Maui offers an Organic Lunch Tour. They grow fine organic produce and supply two top restaurants on Maui, Pacific'O and I'O. Visit their web site to book a lunch tour for part of your upcountry adventure.
Edible Hawaiian Islands. I really love this publication. The photos are always awesome, and there are some ono recipes as well. How about Coconut Ginger Chicken Soup? I may try that out tonight...I have to pick lemon grass from the garden for this yummy soup. If you'd like to subscribe and stay in the know about good food in the islands, you'll love having this hardcopy magazine http://www.ediblecommunities.com/hawaiianislands/subscribe/subscribe.htm
We are becoming known for our great foods on Maui....the world is finding out what we have always known. I want to do my part in spreading the word.. OK, now I am getting hungry, so I will say Aloha, a hui hou.
Come, work up an appetite on Maui, you'll be soooo happy that you did.

As is the case with Tripoli, the city cathedral of Benghazi is no longer a cathedral. But this is at least not converted into a mosque, it is rather left to wear and tear. Its present condition is quite sad, with broken windows.
The cathedral was once nothing less than the largest church of North Africa.

I re-read today this smart article from HBR by Louann Brizendine, MD
Louann points out that making a push for leadership roles in our forties is bad timing for women, especially those with children. Could organisations helps themselves improve the gender balance by widening the window of promotion opportunity to women once in their fifties when life's day-to-day stresses may be less distracting?

Labor participation gap
Currently, Taiwan's unemployment hovers at about 4 percent. That is amazingly low from a European perspective. However, the figure stands in somewhat strange contrast to the nation's labor-force participation rate.
The latter statistic is rarely quoted: People tend to look at this figure only when there is something misleading about the unemployment number.
France's participation rate was just 56 percent in 2012. This means, in effect, that the social consequences of unemployment in France are much worse than people might assume from the unemployment statistics alone.
As is common throughout Europe today, many people are not working who do not count as "unemployed" — including students over the age of 15 and retirees, but also people who are jobless for various reasons who are not counted as unemployed in its technical definition.
Meanwhile, in Asia, there are some contrasting examples of very high participation rates: Thailand was at 72 percent, Lao at 78 percent and Cambodia 83 percent in 2012.
Those are countries where, really, anyone who is able-bodied can find work, even amid widespread poverty and political instability.
However, Taiwan, with its 4 percent unemployment rate, had a 58.52 percent labor-force participation rate as of January, scarcely better than France.
Although the nation has large numbers of retirees and university students, these categories cannot entirely explain the gap between the 4 percent unemployment rate and the under-59 percent participation rate.
Evidently, many people here are jobless, but are not counted as unemployed.

Marine merger misguided
The government's announcement that it would merge the marine corps into the army has sparked enormous debate and controversy online and on TV news, as well as in current affairs shows. The issue has drawn much attention and been extensively discussed by experts, veterans and TV hosts.
While neighboring countries are reinforcing and increasing the budget for their marine forces, what is our government doing?
The marines are not asking for any privileges: We are only asking for an equal opportunity to contribute and devote ourselves to the defense and security of our nation.
We are "loyal forever" (Semper Fidelis) to our country, but how hardhearted is our mother country that it even thinks of abandoning us?
To the majority of marine veterans, the merger with the army is equal to the dissolution of the marines. Why? Some specialties of the marine corps cannot simply be replaced or substituted by the army.
It is not that the total combat capacities of the marines are superior to the army's, but the missions we carry out, as well as our way of training, are almost completely different from each other. Amphibious tanks, like the AAVP-7, have no counterpart or even similar sector in the army. Veteran marines cannot help but keep wondering what will happen to these precious and costly national assets.
In particular, the heritage and morale of marine traditions are invisible weapons. They just cannot be replaced or substituted by anything or anyone else.
As a marine veteran, I sincerely request our government to reconsider and reassess the decision to merge the marine corps with the army.

Coming Soon: HEAVEN OR HELL.... Staring Y O U !
U. S. A., in the 70's, seems to be a society plagued with drunkenness, dope addiction, crime, pornography, illicit sex - the likes of which would probably make Sodom and Gomorrah blush if these cities could be resurrected to witness what's going on in America today.
DAILY, we hear the news and read the papers . . . telling of murders, rapes, homosexuality, hideous crimes too awful to mention here . . .and we wonder WHY do such things happen? The Bible tells US why, "He that soweth to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption." Gal. 6:8. LITTLE WONDER WHY THEY HAPPEN. . . . Today we are allowing X-rated so called adult movies . . .to have free course in our cities, towns and communities. These movies show the most intimate of sex relations between man and woman . . . also, intimate, unspeakable relations between members of the same sex. And, as if all this were not bad enough, these movies show all sorts of sex crimes . . . killings. . . murders . . . stranglings . . . chokings . . . etc. ALL THIS . . . we allow our teen age sons and daughters to witness. Such raw acts of obscenity and such horrible acts of criminal brutality make lasting impressions on our young people . . . and older people, too. Satan inspired pornographic sex merchants, with utter contempt for the well being of their country and its citizens, have but one motive in mind - to make a dollar - and it matters not to them that they are inspiring no telling how many of our precious young people to go out and DO LIKEWISE (that which they see so emotionally demonstrated in the movie). ONLY IN ETERNITY ITSELF, when the final count is tabulated in hell someday, will it be completely known JUST HOW MANY PRECIOUS SOULS these damnable sex movies influenced . . . and HELPED TO DAMN.
BUT WHAT CAN I DO. . .YOU ASK??? NOTHING, if you're chicken and afraid to take a stand . . . . BUT IF YOU'RE CONCERNED about helping influence our young people . . . our young men . . . our young women . . . to have a wholesome Godly community, THEN YOU CAN DO SOMETHING. First of all, thank God that the U. S. Supreme Court has acted and passed a law that NOW PROVIDES that EACH CITY can brand any movie obscene that it so desires... and thus have that movie banned from being shown in that town or community in the future. WHAT CAN I DO YOU ASK??? PLENTY. Talk to your pastor, those in your Church, your friends, city officials . . . anyone who will listen . . . and try to arouse them to become concerned about this terrible X-rated movie racket that is helping send millions of precious souls to hell every year. Picket the theaters showing these X-rated movies . . . . MAKE YOUR STAND. Let your Church know . . . let your city . . . your community know that YOU are on God's side . . . and that you want the showing of these filthy, obscene, X-rated sex movies . . . to be STOPPED.
But perhaps you are saying . . . ONE PERSON CAN'T DO ANYTHING. THEY CAN'T?? Don't kid yourself. ONE WOMAN, Madalyn Murray O'Hair, inspired of Satan, with her dedicated, persistent efforts, succeeded in getting prayer and Bible reading out of our public school. WHO KNOWS . . . but what YOU, inspired by God, could be used of God to help rid your town . . . your city . . . your community . . . of these damnable, obscene, crime infested, X-rated movies?
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
PRAY TO GOD ABOUT IT. TELL HIM YOU ARE WILLING. ASK FOR HIS LEADERSHIP. GET ON THE MOVE . . . launch out . . . DO SOMETHING. God will bless you if you will.
The preceding has been primarily written to Christians and those who are concerned about Christian decency in our towns and cities . . . but perhaps SOMEONE is reading this who is not a Christian . . . . If this be your case, let me urge YOU TODAY to repent of your sins. Jesus said, ". . . except ye repent, ye shall . . . perish," (Luke 1 3:3). "For all have sinned . . ." - you, me, EVERYBODY (Romans 3:23) . . . realize that you cannot possibly save yourself . . . next, believe what the Bible has to say in Romans 5:8-9, that Jesus Christ, God's Son, shed His precious Blood on Calvary's cross to save YOU. YES, when Jesus Christ, God's Son died for you on the cross and save His life's Blood FOR YOU, that was GOD dying for YOU (II Cor. 5:19) . . . that was GOD paying your sin debt . . . YES, salvation from an eternity of hell and a home in Heaven someday IS GOD'S FREE GIFT . . . TO YOU . . . (Romans 6:23) . . .and all you have to do to receive this FREE GIFT of salvation is REPENT . . . BELIEVE . . . AND RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR HEART. WILL YOU repent . . . will YOU believe . . . will YOU receive Jesus Christ into your heart as YOUR Saviour TODAY??? If you will, we would be glad to have you write to the address below in order that we might rejoice with you and pray for you as you start out your new life as . . . A CHILD OF THE KING.

A lot of you guys have been asking me about 2 of my recent nutrition habits. So, here's the scoop.
I drink a green smoothie Every. Single. Day. Every day. And I feel fantastic. It happens in one of two ways.
Best Option: 6-10 Oz Spinach, 2-3 Oz Kale, 8 Strawberries, 2 Tbsp Orange Juice Concentrate, 1 Scoop vanilla Whey Protein powder, and a banana, all blended. I freeze everything but the banana, and the protein. And I drink it throughout the day. (Usually at night, I share a little. Just ask Robin Berry) Also, ever so slowly, I'm planning on removing the sweets from it.
Alternative Option: Powder green supplement. Currently, I'm using Athletic Greens, but in years past have just gone with Amazing Grass.
I started the powders about 5 years ago when Moira C Fauth gave me a baggy filled with green powder (sketch…). My allergies are almost completely gone, and I've been legitimately sick only 2 times. I just added the smoothies within the last 8 months, and it's upgraded my morning energy levels, and ability to focus.
I still struggle with eating right. I can totally relate to the struggle that many of you deal with on a daily basis. Sometimes, it feels like my self control button is broken. So I have been experimenting with purchasing pre-made meals. Still getting the timing down so that I don't ever run out, but it's working, and relatively affordable.
I'm using a service called www.Bitemeals.com.
The meals are yummy, have a constant variety (just like CrossFitters like), and fit nicely into a solid nutrition program. I'll have some for sale here at the gym for $10 bucks if you want to give one a try.
Do this. Experiment with stuff. Report back.

According to media sources, the electrical products industry suffers a loss of $600 billion annually, due to counterfeiting. This is huge and worrisome at the same time. Electrical products include a wide variety of items. Some of the highest selling electrical products include electric switches, electric wires and cables, electric lights, plugs, fuse, condensers, motors, fans and a long list of other items.
Out of the above-mentioned products electric cables are widely used in our daily lives and are highly susceptible to counterfeiting. Counterfeit cables have made it to headlines countless number of times for all wrong reasons be it monstrous fires caused due to poor quality cables or electrical shocks that kills us in instants. Counterfeit electrical cables occupy second place after fake pharmaceutical products. According to Technavio research, the global power cable market is projected to reach USD 107.5 billion by 2021.
Is there a way through which you can save yourself from being duped by duplicate cables? But, before that let's understand what is a duplicate cable? Electrical product experts say that most of the counterfeit cables are sold by showcasing them as original. This simply means the specifications mentioned on the product do not sync with the product at all.
The maximum use of electric cables is at the time of construction when big bundles or spools of cables are purchased for laying out electrical connections across the building. Most of the people who are not aware of the distinction between a counterfeit and original electric cable may find it hard to differentiate between the two.
Identifying a counterfeit cable is not easy and may require an eagle's eye. Counterfeit cables often come in poor packaging, have poor quality of casing with cheap quality of printing which is difficult to read. Reputed manufacturers will always print the specification of the label according to the contents of the package whereas, counterfeit cables will always show discrepancies. Always check the required ISI markings and security holograms on the product. The absence of these could be a giveaway of a counterfeit product. Also, abstain from bulk buying and it's better to purchase and test a limited quantity. Showing it to a professional technician will also work wonders.
Nowadays, it has become difficult to counter duplication of products as it can be done at any stage of the supply chain. So, it's better to use products affixed with security features like holograms, barcodes, QR codes, track and trace functionality etc. One such company which secures products of different industries against counterfeiting is Holostik. The company offers a range of niche anti-counterfeiting solutions for the electronic and electrical industry. So, if you are manufacturer from the electrical industry always make it sure to safeguard your products with a range of solutions offered by Holostik and if you are a consumer better buy products affixed with security holograms and markings.

Are chinks in the armor of Bill Gross' reputation beginning to appear?
"I don't think anyone can argue Bill Gross isn't a fantastic investor," Morningstar Analyst Robert Goldsborough told us in April. "He has made some contrarian bets against the bond market recently, and you don't bet against someone like [Gross]."
But analysis by The Wall Street Journal of Lehman Brothers' liquidation plans filed in federal bankruptcy court reveals losses on certain Lehman bonds traded by Gross' firm, Pacific Investment Management Co. (PIMCO), that exceed $3.4 billion.
As the paper notes, Gross (left) buoyed his reputation during the 2008 financial crisis through well-timed bets on Treasuries and mortgage debt.
PIMCO is among the nation's largest money managers for mainstream Americans, both through institutional clients, such as pension funds, and mutual funds held in 401(k) retirement accounts. That means the Lehman losses hit ordinary investors who had put their money into PIMCO funds during the market boom.
The Journal notes that for PIMCO, much of the pain already has been felt. The firm sharply marked down the bonds on its books just after Lehman collapsed, crystallizing most of the losses. The firm currently carries the bonds at roughly $0.25 on the dollar.
"These holdings have long ago been marked to market," a PIMCO spokesman told the paper. Despite the Lehman losses, the company's 2008 investment returns were among the industry's best, he said.
The 67-year-old Gross is estimated to be worth more than $2 billion and was recently named Fixed-Income Fund Manager of the Decade by Morningstar.
Under a best-case scenario, PIMCO's losses total $3.44 billion on senior Lehman bonds, according to The Journal's analysis. Those losses would total $3.84 billion under the wind-down plan least favorable to those holding bonds of Lehman's parent, the analysis shows. Some of the losses were likely offset by interest PIMCO earned on the bonds in the years before Lehman's bankruptcy.
PIMCO is allied with a group of distressed-debt investors and others led by John Paulson's hedge fund who are pushing for a recovery of as much as $0.254 cents on the dollar on their senior bonds. That is better than the two other plans under consideration and around where PIMCO has marked the bonds.

Veteran basketball coach joins Lamar
A veteran of coaching in the Southland Conference, David Dumars joins the Lamar University men's basketball coaching staff. Dumars replaces Justin Bailey who left last month to become the head coach at Arkansas-Fort Smith.
Dumars comes to Beaumont after spending the previous 18 years at McNeese, the final 14 seasons as associate head coach. The hiring marks the second time Price and Dumars have served on the same staff.
"Dave Dumars is a veteran coach," said Price. "He knows the Southland Conference extremely well. Because of his time in the Southland, he knows exactly what it takes to win in this league. Having coached against us, he is also very familiar with our program and how we like to do things.
"In addition, to helping hang banners in Lake Charles with me, he has recruiting contacts in Louisiana and Mississippi. Those are two areas where we would like to do a better job. It came down to experience, contacts and Dave has always been loyal to me throughout the years," added Price.
During his time in Lake Charles, Dumars played a key role in helping the Cowboys win three Southland Conference titles under the direction of three different head coaches (including Price), in addition to four postseason appearances including the 2002 NCAA Championships. The Cowboys also made four Southland tournament finals appearances during his time on the other side of the border.
Dumars made the unlikely switch to basketball coaching after spending 13 seasons as an assistant football coach, including 11 at the collegiate level. Dumars began his coaching career serving as the pass coordinator and defensive backs coach at Tallulah High School before moving to a collegiate sideline. After two seasons with Tallulah, Dumars became the secondary coach at Southeast Missouri State where he would spend the next 11 seasons.
"We were extremely excited to know that Dave was still available," said Price. "At the end of the day, he is a really good man, and I feel he will be a good role model for our student-athletes."

"I always knew I wanted to work with people as I think human connection is important. I think being able to interact with, develop empathy towards, and put myself in the shoes of diverse individuals is both humbling and meaningful," she said.
What Cassandra did not realise then, was that what she was going to learn from the course would actually impact her in her personal journey of discovering herself.
The course provided Cassandra with the knowledge and skills in areas such as basic counselling, group work facilitation, programmes and events management, introduction to sociology and psychology, and taught her how to work with elderly, children, youths, families and people with disabilities/special needs.
Thus she learnt to better understand and apply relevant social work skills to handling people from diverse or marginalized backgrounds.
As Cassandra was often labelled quirky and "offbeat" by her peers, she quickly discovered she could use that to her advantage. The knowledge she acquired from the course has also helped her to make better sense of her thoughts, and thus led her to setting up a blog called Offbeat Perspectives when she was in her second year in NYP.
The site was initially geared towards promoting the local independent art scene since Cassandra enjoyed analyzing themes and structures of interesting or relatable films, and music. But soon it shifted focus toward broader topics like the general election, alternative issues, media landscape, social issues, and sexuality.
Cassandra is not embarrassed to openly ask questions, or discuss on socially-taboo topics, and her website has given her an avenue to organize and communicate her observations and ideological beliefs. She hopes to get people to think more unconventionally when they read her blog.
Their site also features interviews with Singaporeans who pursue their unique passions, as well as in-depth interviews with individuals who are socially unaccepted.
"When we build up a diverse and balanced insight towards various matters, it will allow the society at large to become more open, understanding and inclusive," said Cassandra.
Screenshot of Cassandra's blog…………………………………………………………
Like many other students in their final year, Cassandra is going to graduate this year. As we have witnessed in her personal journey, she has acquired the skills to better understand and express herself, which also brought about the creation of her insightful blog.
If you are undecided in life, her story reminds us to press on and be open to what our life choices have to offer.
We wish Cassandra all the very best in her future!

Matthew is 20 and pursuing his Diploma in Social Sciences (Social Work) at NYP. He may have suffered a traumatic brain injury in a judo competition and may have lost his hopes of becoming a judo champion, but he has found new passion and interest in writing. He is happy to share how he feels and thinks, and hopes to encourage his readers with his writing.

Flirting hap-hazards to mist
In innocent sunlight; don't
Specify brewing clouds.
Here they pin you.
Drivel me the shooting match,
I'll ignore it. A hope chest
Is no laughing matter
To account for these footings.
You're a bubble-ish posturemaster.
Time to backbone your sanity.
Soon years will burst – inexplicable.
Leading the dance of the whole High Street
He clanged before boutiques,
A breather at tradeless windows.
We've nattered about framing debts,
Looking back
On silted Manager's lips,
Vow – we're no great shakes as a financial institution,
Emphatic while speaking to pin-money designs.
Trust – an afterthought
In the blear of a lying mirror.
Their trump card is to cashier
Inseverable worthlessness.
We'll weed swag-debt…
Lend yourself to lion's share stashes
They disclaim.
The population nip is red.
Flunked straw bosses, disregard all trust.
At vanishing point the axe nose-dives.

I do not come from the school of thought that doing things yourself is the best option. I suppose that boots me out of the "frugal" category. My husband and I figure there are professionals for a reason — they know more than us and do a better job than us. Most of the time, they are worth every penny they charge. We've decided to become experts at a few things and pay experts in other fields to take care of the rest. And dealing with taxes and payroll is at the very top of our list.
Three years ago, my husband and I started a general contracting business so we could flip houses legally. We realized quickly that we needed help with payroll and other small business advice, so we did the busted out our mad research skills to find the very best person for the job. Actually, no. We searched the internet and picked the dude closest to our house. It could have been a total disaster, but finding Trent Doman, CPA has been one of the biggest blessings to happen to us in the past few years.
Up until 2007, we had been working with a company that had done Will's family's taxes for a very long time and we were quite pleased. Seriously, ignorance is bliss. Every spring, we just jammed an envelope full of W-2's and receipts and waited for our returns to be mailed to us for our signatures.
Then, in 2007, the proverbial poop hit the fan and we were smacked with a very large tax bill. Seriously, it was gigantic. And it was largely due to our previous tax advisor's lack of attention to our family. This discovery came at the same time that we decided to get someone to help with payroll.
We quickly decided it was best to transfer all our "tax stuff" to Trent's office and see if he could straighten out our gigantic mess. And he did. It's a long story, filled with way too much boring personal information, but we have been absolutely blown away at Trent's service to our family. We trust him. He has given us good and wise counsel. And he has worked very hard for us.
Here's the real fun part. We are currently getting audited by the IRS. Oh, yes. I'm serious. And the horror stories are true. It totally sucks (sorry, I know some of you think that word is crass. But it's the most fitting word I can find). And the only way we could possibly manage this is that Trent is walking with us through it. Obviously, we're paying him. I can't even imagine what this one is costing us. But it is worth every single penny, because we have a professional helping us.
Trent's website isn't fancy. His office is in the middle of a strip mall (there is a Goodwill drop-off next door, so you can kill two birds). But, just like most things in this world, fancy does not always mean quality. Trent is an expert in helping small business owners do their businesses right. In one hour, Trent set up everything I needed to get my blogging business legit and running. Here is a list of his other services:
Individual Income Tax Preparation & Planning
Business Income Tax Preparation & Planning
Compiled & Reviewed Financial Statements
Estate & Gift Tax Preparation & Planning
Tax Examinations & Audits Assistance
Write-Up & Bookkeeping Services
QuickBooks Setup & Consulting
Small Business Consulting
Please understand that I do not often give glowing public endorsements of service providers that we encounter. And I know that there are many, many wonderfully competent CPA and tax preparers out there — in fact, you are welcome to leave your recommendation in the comments section. But if you own a small business, have more complicated tax issues, or are just looking for a CPA to take your family's tax preparation burden off your shoulders, I enthusiastically recommend Trent Doman in Damascus, Oregon.

Advances in details technologies have led to the expansion of distance education opportunities in Australia. Distance education entails the exact same syllabus as of regular courses and distance mastering institutes like all the other colleges serve the very same goal of spreading education. Distance understanding can also use interactive radio instruction (IRI), interactive audio instruction (IAI), on line virtual worlds , digital games, webinars, and webcasts, all of which are referred to as e-Learning. A Council of Greater Secondary Education (CHSE) has been served a bad surprise at the Department of Higher Education. To Study on the net in Nigeria and undertaking UK MBA through on the internet are in the best of the list.
The require for Distance Studying MBA applications has elevated as much more and much more experts want to equip themselves with an MBA qualification. Three days soon after CHSE announced the schedule of greater secondary (HS) examination 2012 the Division published the notice for online form filling, prompting a debate on autonomy. If any component of your course demands face time with a student, it really is NOT distance mastering. Irrespective of standard course, numerous educational institutes are offering distance education mba india for remote regions or qualified student.
In the United States in 2011, it was found that a third of all the students enrolled in postsecondary education had taken an accredited on the internet course in a postsecondary institution. In fact, the possibility was much less a handful of years back, where there were not numerous universities which could grant the degrees to several courses. The distance education are assisting remote student to earn management degree and exact same time it has emerged as a best decision for student to opt educational courses according to their conveyance and schedule.
Say a adverse to distance education is the lack of direct face-to-face social interaction, however as much more individuals grow to be utilized to personal and social interaction on the net (for example dating, chat rooms, shopping, or blogging). Mostly for the reason that if somebody decides for distance mastering programs, it entails self-discipline as well as capacity to total the course inside the specific time period. Distance education and industrial production: A comparative interpretation in outline(1973).
For students, a mechanism like National Data Utilities, developed to retain track of student loans, along with one particular to made to maintain track of student loans, along with a single to designed a transportable credit method for larger education, would greatly increase both access to and quality of greater education. Most of the universities in India have their personal MBA faculty present several management programmes. Institutes that give each distance and campus applications generally use paced models as teacher workload, student semester organizing, tuition deadlines, exam schedules and other administrative specifics can be synchronized with campus delivery.

David Brown - Treasurer (Ex-Officio)
Although he has retired from the Committee after 27 years, David Brown is still Treasurer for the JDC E Type Register. He joined the committee in 1985 and has looked after its finances ever since. The fact that he is a Scot might have something to do with it! The cost of running the various annual events is quite significant and since the register has to be self-funding with no regular income, good financial control is essential.
However, David is an enthusiastic Jaguar owner who believes Jaguars are for driving and enjoying. He is not a concours participant although he does keep his cars in very good condition. He has a Series 2 Roadster and a Mk 2 3.8 saloon. There is nothing he likes better than to take his roadster up the Prescott Hillclimb or drive it on a quiet open road (but not motorways - boring!). He has owned the roadster since 1976 and found the Mk 2 in France in 1996 while on holiday with his wife Carol and daughter Claire in the family caravan. The Mk 2 was UK registered, right hand drive and looked somewhat neglected. By the end of the holiday it was his but he still had to get it home to the UK. So a couple of weeks later, his son Gordon - yes, our Webmaster! - John Burton - yes, Register Chairman! - and David were off back to France with a trailer to collect it. But that is another story!
David generally works in the background at events and helps with the register van and caravan, which his cautious financial management has helped the Register to acquire.
David can be contacted by phone on [+44] (0)1438 716848

I'm really enjoying me some Greg Laswell right now. A [swallow] friend pointed me to him. I'm a big fan of David Grey and he has a similar sound to him. He was recently featured on Grey's Anatomy with his song What a Day.
I'm really digging Comes and Goes:

The late John Gardner, leadership scholar and presidential advisor, once remarked, "Pity the leader caught between unloving critics and uncritical lovers." I'm quite taken by this observation. It should be on a poster that hangs over every leader's desk-or a screen saver on their computers-and it should be read and contemplated several times a day.
None of us likes to hear the constant screeching of the harpies who have only foul things to say. At the same time, we never benefit from, nor truly believe, the sycophants whose flattery is so obviously aimed at gaining favor. To stay honest with ourselves, what we really need are "loving critics"-people who care deeply enough to give us honest feedback about how we're doing.
According to research Barry Posner and I have conducted over the years, credibility is at the foundation of leadership. From a behavioral perspective, credibility is about "doing what you say you will do." But how can you do what you say if you don't know how you're doing? If you never ask for feedback on your behavior and on how your behavior affects how others are doing, how can you really expect to align your words and your actions over the long haul?
There's solid evidence that the best leaders are highly attuned to what's going on inside of them as they are leading, as well as what's going on with others. They're very self-aware and they're very socially aware. They can tell in short order whether they've done something that has enabled someone to perform at a higher level or whether they've sent motivation heading south.
Setting up a system for getting regular feedback (the equivalent of the dashboard) and paying attention to that feedback will help a leader more effectively move the organization forward. All leaders want to have a positive impact on performance. It's part of their legacy. The only way they can know if they're having the desired impact is to get regular feedback on how they're doing.
In addition to the annual 360-degree assessment, try this the next time you're in a meeting. Begin by asking, "How am I doing?" More than likely you'll be greeted with stunned silence—a sure sign folks are not used to being asked this question by you (or anyone else) and are uncomfortable in responding. But if you wait long enough some brave soul may venture an honest response. When she or he does, immediately recognize him or her for showing some courage, and tell the rest of the group, "That's what we need more of around here. More loving critics."
Jim Kouzes is a highly regarded leadership scholar, experienced executive, and coauthor (with Barry Posner) of The Leadership Challenge. He also is Dean's Executive Professor of Leadership, Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University and has been cited by The Wall Street Journal as one of the twelve best executive educators in the U.S.

The Case for Optimism amid the Crisis
The current financial crisis in the United States raises a fundamental question: are these crises good or bad for long term growth? Some economists believe that crises have negative consequences for long run growth because of increased volatility and wealth destruction. Others believe that crises are opportunities to learn, reform and improve economic and political institutions. This view tends to see crises as a natural and potentially desirable phenomenon in the process of development, which allows important reforms to take place.

Thanks to the Emerging Writers Festival newsletter, I learned that ACMI is hosting Series Mania Melbourne | A Free Festival of New TV this weekend. It started today (Thursday), and ACMI is hosting a series of free screenings for upcoming shows, as well as a keynote talk with Vince Gilligan, which had sold out by the time I'd learned that the festival was even on.
A note about the screenings: You can make some educated guesses (and I have a bunch of press releases and a giant spreadsheet), but it's not clear. Also before you get too excited, Get Krack!n by Kates McLennan and McCarthy of The Katering Show is also sold out. It will be on ABC later this year.
I'd never heard of Series Mania, but it's a French festival that aims to be television's answer to Cannes. It began in Paris, and is moving to Lille next year. Series Mania has been brought to Melbourne by Forum des Images, and is sponsored by ACMI and film Victoria, as reported by Variety. It's the first time Series Mania has been to another country, and I hope it continues to both expand and return to Melbourne.


text: Support organizations like Operation Homefront and National Military Family Association that help military families. If someone is in the military, you can thank them for their service and thank their family too. Do yard work for a military family while someone is deployed. Cook a meal for a military family. Get coffee with a military spouse. Tell your kid to be nice to new kids because it's scary and they are overwhelmed. If they seem snobby or reserved...it's a defense mechanism. If there is a new military family in your community welcome them. Maybe be more flexible with military families during holidays. Give them more time to travel. Respect the fact that the military is not monolithic and appreciate the service they do but don't make assumptions.

Posted by Miss Crowther | Posted in Whole School Event | Posted on February 14, 2017
Last Friday we celebrated teamwork and persistence during our Team Challenges morning. As part of our Ready, Set, Go! start up program, students learnt about effective teams and their role within them, along with the benefits of having a growth mindset, especially when completing challenging tasks. As 1R discovered during the week, our brains are muscles and with the right mindset we can help them grow and become strong. Friday was time to put our learning to the test!
Teams of students ranging in age from Foundation to Grade 6 completed three different challenges. From puzzles to parachutes, rafts to running and everything in between, there was certainly something to challenge everyone.
Overheard from students….
"We can try to figure it out together!"
"Yeah! That could work!"
"Would you like to be my partner?"
"It was really hard the first time, but then it got easier."
"That was the best morning but I'm so tired now!"
"I liked helping my Foundation buddy!"
Overheard from teachers….
"You all showed so much persistence! Well done!"
"What wonderful manners!"
"It was great seeing different year levels working together."
Congratulations to all students for having a go at the challenges. We hope our parents and special guests also enjoyed them! Thank you to our teachers for organising a wide variety of tasks that were not only fun but also allowed students to practise using growth mindsets. Stay tuned for our whole school Growth Mindset challenge!

Peru's Ministry of Culture said Tuesday that more than fifty museums across the country will offer free admission from May 18 to 20, in celebration of International Museum Day.
The ministry administers over 50 museums throughout the country, including the National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology and History of Peru, the Royal Tombs of Sipan Museum, Chavin National Museum, and Pukara Lithic Museum, among others.
The International Museum Day, which is celebrated worldwide each year on or about May 18, is an opportunity to celebrate the important role museums play in preserving our history, and encouraging an exploration of our future.
The Advisory Committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) established International Museum Day in 1977 to encourage public awareness of the role of museums in the development of society.
This year the theme of the event is "Museums in a Changing World. New Challenges, New Inspirations."

Your Sparkling Bohemian Christmas With Free People
Free People keeps on surprising us. After releasing its November catalogue, the online fashion retailer has finally unveiled its Christmas lookbook, romantically entitled 'Total Eclipse'. It is going to be a sparkling bohemian festivity at Free People, as we discover these pretty dresses and party outfits that are already available on Free People's website.
More and more labels keep on unveiling their glittery holiday collections, with loads of sequined fabrics and jocose party dresses. Free People's Christmas 2015 lookbook has Cora Keegan as the perfect muse, who had already posed for Free People's cameras before this shoot. Wearing a shimmery smokey eye makeup and a Seventies-inspired hairdo with messy beachy waves and long bangs, Keenan perfectly embraces Free People's sparkling festive mood, looking like she is just ready to walk out the door with her best friends and dance the night away.
From golden bodycon dresses to skinny scarfs to sequined slip dresses and gold mesh mini dresses, Total Eclipse really is the ultimate bohemian collection, which instead of focusing on all the Seventies' trends, only celebrates its Saturday Night Fever atmosphere.
First things first, we should start off examining the lookbook with its great variety of mini dresses, which will exude energy at any New Year's Eve party. If you are looking for the ultimate sparkling dress, you may thus opt for the mini dress featuring a handful of sequin embroideries, with a V-neckline and flared lines meant to perfectly flatter anyone's body. Moreover, due to its flared cut, it is basically impossible to feel constraint while dancing donning this lovely piece!
If you are looking for a more sophisticated mini dress, just go for the sheer gold mesh one with a sinuous turtleneck and long sleeves that will make the dress shine in its own light at any party. For a slightly more casual look you could instead opt for the short-sleeved mini dress adorned with sequins and a dip-dye effect on the hem. Its oversized nature and low scoop on the back will be perfect not only for the upcoming festivities but also for any future night out. It is also extremely versatile, and looks perfect both with high-heeled shoes and flats.
Last but not least, among the Free People party dresses there's the ethereal mesh V-neckline piece, adorned with a sculpted hem and intricate glittery embroideries. It is probably the most conventional boho-chic mini dress available within the collection, and will look great paired with an au naturel makeup.
The line-up also features bell-bottom pants and boyish jackets like the structured velvet blazer with decorative etched buttons, which create a diversity in terms of style, being perfect alternatives both for all those who want to try a different look for this holiday season, as well as for those who just like Seventies-inspired pants and marine-themed jackets.
To top it all off, Free People's holiday 2015 collection also features an appealing shoeline, which of course follows the sparkling trend too. Named 'Inferno heeled boots', Free People's chunky ankle boots can perfectly go with practically anything, tastefully spicing up both casual outfits and themed flashy looks. Chunky boots hold a special place in Free People's lookbook, and will definitely satisfy all the Seventies enthusiasts.

Textures and Neutrals on a cold day
Bonjour mes amis. Might I say, it is a lovely day today here in Vancouver. I spent an hour and a half of my morning doing stretches, cardio and ab excercises. I also spent 15 minutes on my thighs because I am on a mission!
On beautiful days like today I get to do some things I like such as some grocery shopping, got myself some fresh roses, picked up all the foods that are apart of my new healthy diet, and walking around the city and enjoying the hustle and bustle of the people around me while cars fly past and steam rises from the sewers into the chilly air while the sun shines through the buildings. These are some of my favourite things.
For my outfit today, I decided to layer textures. I threw on and tied up a fluffy backless top from Majorelle with a long silk slip dress from Sisters The Label on top. I accessorized with Celine Shadow sunglasses, my new Celine classic box bag and Adidas superstar sneakers.
I hope you liked this post, write me on Instagram and let me know what you would like to see or any commentary! xoxo
Love, Janice J

NHS Shetland spent 24% more on temporary medical staff in 2014/15 than in 2013/14 says Audit Scotland. There has also been a 84% increase in spending on agency nursing staff. Shetland MSP Tavish Scott will raise this at today's (Wednesday) Public Audit Committee meeting in the Scottish Parliament. A major Audit Scotland report has found that the NHS missed 7 of its 9 key waiting time targets in 2015. This says Audit Scotland, reflects a general decline in performance in recent years.
Speaking before the committee meeting Tavish Scott said:
''This increase of 24% spent on temporary doctors and an increase of 84% on Agency Nursing staff is a big impact on NHS Shetland's budget. Permanent appointments will not only be better value for money but will contribute to an improved standard of care. My recent health survey which 900 residents responded to, showed that while most residents never have to wait long for an appointment, many expressed dissatisfaction that they were often unable to see their preferred doctor. Just this week a constituent told me that she would wait until January to see her GP at the Lerwick Health Centre.
"Shetland needs the Scottish Government to accept the Audit Scotland findings on recruitment and retention of key medical staff. The Scottish Government only managed to add 35 new GPs to the workforce between 2009-2013. They must realise the seriousness of the situation. We need to see urgent action to help address the recruitment crisis and new resources to support primary care in Scotland. GPs are the first point of contact in our health service for nearly every Scot, and every person has the right to quick and quality treatment. I was very impressed by a recent visit to the Scalloway Health Centre. I listened carefully to the views of medical staff and GP's.
''Audit Scotland also indicate the financial pressure NHS Boards are under. That includes Shetland and I have every sympathy for them. So it will be important that when the Scottish Government decide its budget before Christmas, they make a serious investment in primary care that so many people depend on. The Scottish Government must ensure that NHS Shetland receives its fair share of funding. At present NHS Shetland is currently underfunded to the tune of nearly £900,000 by the Government's own formula. It is vital that this shortage is addressed and to enable NHS Shetland to recruit more permanent staff.''

Fresno boy meets 'Bob the Builder'
Mr. Workman, meet Mr. Builder. OK, let's drop the formalities. One of them is 4 years old, after all, and the other has a head the shape of a basketball and a puttylike mound of a nose with no visible nostrils. We'll call them Aidan and Bob.
Aidan Workman was the very first kid in the Fresno area to get to see "Bob the Builder — Project: Build It," which is in its opening weekend at the Fresno Metropolitan Museum. (Official opening-day festivities were held Saturday.)
Aidan's parents, Julie and Darwin Workman of Clovis, are friends with Candice Pendergrass, the Met's marketing director, who arranged to show the exhibition a few days beforehand to a reporter, photographer and Aidan.
Here's a rundown:The scene: When the elevator door opened at the second floor, young Aidan — sporting a very yellow plastic construction hard hat — bounded into the exhibition as I followed behind. An expression of television-inculcated recognition flashed across his face when he saw the familiar characters, a look known to every parent who has taken a child down the action-figures aisle at Target. "Who's that?" Pendergrass asked. "Bob!" he cried out.
The exhibit: Big and colorful, the sturdy molded plastic figures and displays are faithful to the TV series, which is shown on PBS. Suggested age range is preschool through 8 years. (The museum's goal is to broaden its exposure in the community — and to help battle its well-documented financial woes — by appealing to a family demographic.) The 10 activity stations in the show, which originally appeared at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, range from such kiddie-size vehicles as Roley the Steamroller to activity stations such as Bob the Builder's Workshop, where kids can fit pipes together and repair a leak in Bob's sink. Aidan immediately climbed on Muck the Dump Truck.
The hands-on factor: High. Aidan eagerly pushed every button he could (not all the displays had been assembled for the show) and clambered into the driver's seat of each vehicle. The museum waives its rules for this exhibition involving touching (it's allowed), eating (peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches and juice boxes, available at the "Bob the Builder" store, can be eaten in a designated area) and photographs (take all you want). Kids can poke, prod, scoop and assemble as they choose the correct shapes, as they pump "water" and pick the best tools to get the job done.
The recognition factor: Aidan knew these characters, instantly recognizing Wendy, who is Bob's business partner on the show, and others. He walked up to a wide-eyed machine with a big bucket for a back. I asked Aidan who it was. "Dizzy!" he replied. Yes, it was Dizzy the Cement Mixer, described as "always spinning with curiosity." Aidan pushed a button on the dashboard, and Dizzy said, "Brilliant!"The education factor: Do kids pick up on this building stuff? You bet. I pointed to Dizzy's back and asked, "Is this concrete? I think this is concrete." Aidan flashed me a cool look and said, "It's ce-MENT."
Sure enough, cement is an ingredient of concrete. But they're not synonymous. And the building permit goes to … the 4-year-old. I felt like pushing Dizzy's button and hearing her pronounce me brilliant, too, but figured that would be cheating.
The verdict: "I like Bob," Aidan said emphatically when asked his favorite character. Did he want to come back when the exhibit was fully assembled? "Yes!" With a few crates still unpacked and electrical connections to be made on most of the displays, there'd be plenty for him to do on a return visit. It was clear that Aidan was eager to unleash his full building potential and explore the exhibit's "green" themes.
The end: Alas, it came. This was a 4-year-old, after all. Aidan suddenly looked concerned. His attention was no longer on Bob's hammers. He tugged at his friend's hand. "Auntie Candice," he said, "I have to go potty."

Plenty to see and do in summer
Along with "Bob the Builder — Project: Build It," several other exhibitions at the Fresno Metropolitan Museum beckon visitors this summer:
"Have a Ball," a popular museum exhibition created in 1990, returns to share the second floor gallery with "Bob." The exhibit combines an arcade, amusement park, miniature golf course, playground, sporting event, laboratory and science fair into a hands-on science exhibition. Participants use the provided golf balls to learn basic scientific principles of energy, kinetics, and geometry. Runs: through Oct. 11.
"I Want Candy: The Sweet Stuff in American Art" is a traveling show that gathers more than 50 works from 40 contemporary artists that explore our nation's love affair with sweets. The show reflects some of the most important trajectories of recent American art. The Fresno exhibition marks the only opportunity to see the show on the West Coast.Opens: July 8. Runs: through Aug. 30.
"Doug Hansen: Mother Goose in California" is based on the children's ABC book Hansen created and illustrated. Words from nursery rhymes are at the heart of each illustrated letter of the alphabet. The geography and history of California are featured.Runs: through Sept. 20.
