My oh my… Have you ever seen a kitchen extinguisher as beautiful as the Designer Firephant?
It's stylish and contemporary, and it's even won the RedDot Design Award. It really sets itself apart from any other extinguisher. You can already hear the wolf-whistles from everyone who walks past it.
But, let's try and contain our excitement for a moment. Fire extinguishers are there for the sole purpose of protecting you if a fire ever breaks out. The way it looks is a secondary, and far less important, aspect.
So, how does it stand up as an extinguisher which you can depend on?
Not Just A Pretty Extinguisher
Filled with 8A, 34B-rated, ABC powder extinguishant, the Firephant is suitable for use on all classes of fire, except Class F.
So it's safe to use on wood, paper and textiles, as well as flammable liquids, gases and even electricals (under 1,000 volts).
Although you may not be able to use it on fire involving cooking fats, it's as versatile as you can get with a fire extinguisher.
With 1kg of contents, you should have more than enough to put out a small fire in your home, with a discharge time of eight seconds.
Not only that, it is CE Marked and comes BS EN3 approved as you would expect from any extinguisher.
Designed in Sweden, it's now manufactured by Kidde who are well-known for their quality products which everyone trusts.
Easy To Use
Another thing your extinguisher needs to be is easy to use. When you're in a panicked situation, the last thing you need is a complicated extinguisher to try to operate.
With this one, all you need to do is pull out the pin, aim it at the base of the fire, and press the button on top.
Its intuitive and light design means you can hold it with just one hand, whether you're left- or right-handed.
And anyone can use it, with no training required. However, as with any extinguisher, it's always best to familiarise yourself, and others, with its operation before you need to use it.
The Benefits Of Good Looks
We know that extinguishers aren't the best-looking pieces of equipment around. And that's why in many homes they get hidden away in a cupboard, or the corner of a basement or garage.
But with an extinguisher like this, most people would be happy to display it in their kitchen. People love to display this one, giving it pride of place to show it off. It's almost a work of art.
It comes with a clever and discreet bracket to hold and fix it to the wall. It simply clicks into place. And when you need to use it in an emergency, it will quickly release when you pull it.
The benefit of that means it's immediately to hand in an emergency. There's no rushing around to try to find it because you know exactly where it is. And you can find it quickly and use it.
Worth Getting Excited About?
Not much alters these days in terms of fire extinguisher design.
It can sometimes be a shame to put an extinguisher in a room where you've spent a lot of time (and money) making it look sleek and modern. However, that no longer has to be the case.
This can certainly become a talking point for everyone who enters your home, and they'll want one too.
The Designer Firephant Kitchen Extinguisher can get extinguishers into homes which otherwise wouldn't have one, as well as giving it prime position.
Anyone can, unfortunately, become a victim of fire. And having an extinguisher not only minimises the damage a fire can cause but also reduces the risk to life as well.

Velvet Scarpa, veternarian who secretly works on the occasional werewolf. In doing so, she puts her life in danger because she is a vampire and her father is head of the vampires in the U.S. Vee works at a small clinic, has her own apartment, and enjoys her freedom. All of which will soon be taken away when she is forced to marry Ambrose DiFalco. Her father wants children from the union for what purpose she has yet to figure out.
On a night when she'd been given a warning about being late, Vee is hurrying to get done at the clinic so she can get to the gala at her father's estate. An unexpected and unwanted patient derails her plans. Lexan Dimitrov, King of the Werewolves has gunshot wounds and needs immediate attention. Although she believes the war s useless killing on both sides, he is her sworn enemy. How can she help him?
Lexan comes to the clinic with the specific intention of meeting Vee. A promise to an old friend has him plotting how to get her out of the country. He didn't count on the animal attraction which is sure to cause more problems with an already tense situation.
I like the characters. Vee is take-charge and unwilling to let anyone have control over her. Lexan is the oldest of his kind and still thinks in the old ways which wears on Vee's independence. The war isn't the only battle going on.

Company Formation Ireland © 2017
The shares in a company are owned by its shareholders. If the company is a limited liability company, the shareholders' liability, should the company fail, is limited to the amount, if any, remaining unpaid on the shares held by them. A company is a separate legal entity and, therefore, is separate and distinct from those who run it. Only the company can be sued for its obligations and can sue to enforce its rights.
There are four types of limited company:
A single member company is a private company limited by shares or a guarantee company having a share capital, which is incorporated with one member, or whose membership is reduced to one person. However, the company must have at least two directors and a secretary. The sole member, if he/she so decides, can dispense with the holding of General Meetings, including Annual General Meetings (AGMs). However, certain modifications laid down in the European Communities (Single-Member Private Limited Companies) Regulations 1994, must be made. Also, the accounts and reports that would normally be laid before the AGM of a company still need to be prepared and forwarded to the member.
In an unlimited company, there is no limit placed on the liability of the members. Recourse may be had by creditors to the shareholders in respect of any liabilities owed by the company which the company has failed to discharge. Such company must have a minimum of two shareholders.
UCITS are public limited companies formed under EU Regulation (European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 1989 & 1999) and the Companies Acts 1963-2009. The sole object of a UCIT is the collective investment in transferable securities of capital raised from the public that operates on the principle of risk-spreading. The competent authority, which must approve all registrations of UCITS that wish to carry on activities within the State, is the Central Bank of Ireland.
The EEIG is a mechanism through which business within the EU can engage in cross-border commerce. The purpose of an EEIG is to facilitate or develop the economic activities of its members. An EEIG must have a minimum of two, up to a maximum of 20 members, who may be companies or natural persons, from different Member States. The manager of a Grouping may be a natural person or a body corporate.
A Societas Europaea or SE is a European public limited liability company formed under EU Regulation (Council Regulation 2157/2001) and the European Communities (European Public Limited Liability Company) Regulations 2007. S.I.21/2007.
An SE can be formed by merger or as a holding or subsidiary SE or by conversion of a plc to SE. An SE must have members from different Member States unless an SE itself is setting up a subsidiary SE.
A cross border merger is where a company merges with another company or companies (at least one of which is an EEA company) under EU Regulation, Statutory Instrument 157 of 2008 and this can involve the formation of a new company. A cross border merger can be achieved in several different ways, each with different requirements:
Common draft terms are completed and submitted together with form CBM1 to the CRO. Notice must also be given in two newspapers regarding the terms. An office copy of the court order approving the merger must be submitted to the CRO. If the company is due to be deleted from the register, it cannot be done until notice has been received from the relevant authorities.

Russian Man Arrested After Winning Drugs On The Internet
Charlie Blacks II
January 28th 2016
Well what did he think would happen? Unfortunately our subject of the day isnt the first person in the world involved in drug trafficking via the internet. We can go back to as far as June 1999 in cases just like these. At one time, Ebay wasnt so popular and the internet wasnt as full of people, creeps, and strange opportunities. Apparently some prankster decided to post his cocaine stash on Ebay and offer an asking price of $2 million for the booger sugar. With the caption We're selling Pure, Uncut Cocaine and get your 8 ball today the auction drew a lot of attention we assume mostly for the wrong reasons. Like seriously talk about clickbait eh? Anyways, our point is this isnt the first time this has happened. It looks like a young man in the Siberian city of Tomsk is looking at some major jail time for entering the wrong contest.
So, here we have a 20 year old kid who took part in an online contest in which he had to write an article about the effects of using the synthetic marijuana drug known as spice. He did so well in the contest that he won first place, and with it comes a prize of course that prize being, thats right drugs! He met with website officials at a discreet location in order to collect his prize. On his way home he decided to try some of his synthetic weed and like a Cheech & Chong movie it kicked in in full effect. After tracking down the youngster police found him at a local train station high out of his mind. He had a total of 5 grams on him and was arrested for possession of the drug. He is currently facing up to 10 years in prison for possession and the police are still searching for the other parties involved in the entire transaction.
Ok for those of you that are frequent visitors to our site here, we recently had a story involving a Russian doctor who killed a man with a single punch. He was able to go home after the incident and he only faces a total of 2 years imprisonment. Something isnt adding up here So, a kid who might has seen "Half Baked" way too many times and can write a decent article is facing 10 years in prison, while another guy killed a man on camera and only faces 2 years in jail? Very confusing to all of our Russian readers, please explain your legal system. Us Americans cant say too much either, our legal system has been in shambles since well since forever. Oh and kids we dont recommend you guys doing drugs at all, but if youre going to smoke the hasheesh, go for the real stuff, synthetic drugs are worse for you in the long run anyway.

After having spent a number of years in Rome, the Christian theologian S. (perhaps originally from Libya) was excommunicated by bishop Callistus (217-222) because of his teachings on the nature of God. Little is known about the rest of his life. S. was a leading Modalist (Modalism). Like Noetus before him, he equated God the Father with God the Son in order to maintain monotheism (Monarchianism). It was probably only later on that the designation of God as Son-Father (hyiopátōr) and the thesis that God acted in the history of salvation successively in the 'm…

Joni Mitchell via last.fmA few years ago, I was driving down an Ontario highway and listening to CBC Radio. The DJ played two versions of Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell. Joni hails from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan although she has lived for many years in the United States.
This song is beautiful. I love the lyrics and the music. In the first video below, Joni sings this song in 1970 or so.
Joni sings the same song, Both Sides Now, in 2000 after thirty more years of life and living. Her voice is much rougher (I believe she is or was a smoker) but the depth of emotion and feeling is incredible.
That day, driving down the highway with my Dad, the DJ played both versions. What did I learn? "Life changes our song."
Earlier this year, in the early morning hours of May 8th, I sat at the bedside of my Dad, Don Sanders. Dad had just turned 86 a few days earlier. For the last 20 days of his life, Dad was in the hospital and we knew the end was near. My Dad was a man of faith who knew he was going home to see the Jesus he had served for most of his life. He was at peace.
On May 8th, my husband and I sat beside my Dad. I was playing a CD that my sister, Dorothea Dantouze, had made. (She now has some songs up on YouTube.) We were singing along with In the Sweet By and By.

"There's a land that is fairer than day. And by faith we can see it afar. For the Father waits over the way. To prepare us a dwelling place there." "We shall meet on that beautiful shore." "And we'll sing on that beautiful shore. The melodious songs of the blessed."
My Dad's breathing was growing more and more shallow. Half-way through the song, my Dad stopped breathing. I've told many people, "Dad heard the beginning of the song with my sister (on CD), my husband and I singing here on earth. He heard the end of the song up in heaven with the angel choirs singing on the beautiful shore."
Last night we had a family birthday party for my daughter. We were gathered in the backyard around the firepit roasting marshmallows. Someone suggested that we should have a s
Image by JelleS via Flickring-along. I started with Kumbayah. Then my daughter led us in a cool echo song. Next she suggested that we sing Row, Row, Row Your Boat as a round. I led out, then came my daughter, and lastly my son. Grandma, aunt, and cousins joined in. It was a beautiful summer evening and our harmonious melodies rose up to the stars.
Music plays a chord within me that nothing else can play. The best of music drills down within me to touch my soul--mind, emotions, and will. Music gives me a way to express my fears, joys, and sorrows.
How does music touch your life?

So to stray a little from routines, I have indulged myself with some cold-blooded friends ;-)
Leopard tortoise - saw some for sale in KL, but with a RM650 price tag, getting this fella a mate is going to be painful :-D
Red-footed tortoise - appears to be growing quite fast. Keeping a pair. One appears to be significantly bigger than the other.
Elongated tortoise - listed as endangered. My friend who kept it for some time (5 years?) said it's a female. Would be interesting if I could find a male.
Asian brown giant tortoise - need a license to keep according to the new law being enforced. The biggest tortoise specie found in Malaysia.
Yellow-spotted river turtle - originated from the jungles of Amazon....
Ah! how's that for a little diversion from all things avian :-D

|112 cadavers
|To elucidate the anatomical variations of the piriformis muscle referred to the diagnostic and treatment of the piriformis syndrome.
|The distance between the musculotendinous junction and the insertion was measured and the piriformis categorized into three types: Type A (71, 63.39%): long upper and short lower muscle belly; Type B (40, 35.71%): short upper and long lower muscle belly; Type C (1, 0.9%): fusion of both muscle bellies at the same level. The diameter of the piriformis tendon at the level of the musculotendinous junction ranged from 3 to 9 mm (mean: 6.3 mm). The piriformis showed the following possible fusions with adjacent tendons. In type one (60, 53.57%) a rounded tendon of the piriformis reached the upper border of the greater trochanter. In type two (33, 29.46%) it first joined into the gemellus superior tendon and at last both fused with the obturator internus tendon and inserted into the medial surface of the greater trochanter. A fusion of the piriformis, obturator internus and gluteus medius tendon with the same insertion area as above was observed in type three (15, 13.39%) and finally in type four (4, 3.57%) the tendon fused with the gluteus medius to reach the upper surface of the greater trochanter.

|To review the lumbrosacral plexus anatomy and the spectrum of diseases that affect the lumbrosacral plexus with their corresponding imaging findings at 3-T MR neurography
|In the evaluation of lumbrosacral plexopathy, 3-T MR neurography is a valuable adjunct to clinical examination and electrodiagnostic testing because it provides anatomic information that is not obtainable with other modalities and is useful for assessing lesions. Knowledge of the imaging patterns of the lumbrosacral plexus and the conditions that affect it may enable radiologists to provide detailed reports and contribute to optimized patient-tailored treatment.

|30 consecutive patients
|To compare 1.5-T and 3-T magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the brachial plexus.
|SNR and CNRs were significantly higher on 3-T MR images than on 1.5-T MR images (Friedman test) for all sequences. Nerve visibility was significantly better on 3-T MR images than on 1.5-T MR images (paired sign test). Pathological findings (n = 30/30) were seen equally well with both field strengths. MR imaging diagnoses did not differ for the 1.5- and 3-T protocols. CONCLUSIONS: High-quality MR images of the brachial plexus can be obtained with 3-T MR imaging by using sequences similar to those used at 1.5-T MR imaging. In patients and healthy volunteers, the visibility of nerve trunks and cords at 3-T MR imaging appears to be superior to that at 1.5-T MR imaging.

|157 patients
|To evaluate brachial plexus MRI accuracy with surgical findings and clinical follow-up as reference standard in a large multicentre study.
|The overall sensitivity and specificity with 95% confidence intervals were: 0.810/0.914; (0.697-0.904). Overall PPV, pre-test probability, NPV, likelihood ratio +, likelihood ratio –, and accuracy: 0.823, 0.331, 0.905, 9.432, 0.210, 0.878. The overall diagnostic accuracy of brachial plexus MRI calculated on a per-patient base is relatively high. The specificity of brachial plexus MRI in patients suspected of having a space-occupying mass is very high. The sensitivity is also high, but there are false-positive interpretations as well.

|13 patients
|To illustrate the imaging findings on high-resolution 3T magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) in patients with suprascapular nerve (SSN) neuropathy.
|Two cases were excluded due to suboptimal imaging related to motion degradation and poor signal-to-noise ratio. MRN depicted asymmetric enlargement and/or abnormal T2 hyperintensity of C5 nerve root (10/13 cases), C6 nerve root (10/13 cases), both C5 and C6 nerve roots (7/13 cases), upper trunk (11/13 cases) and SSN (11/13 cases), and other brachial plexus segments involvement (4/13 cases). MR findings of denervation changes in the ipsilateral supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles were detected in 12/13 cases. In all seven cases where contrast-enhanced images were available, MRN demonstrated enhancement of the denervated muscles but did not provide any additional information regarding the nerve abnormality. None of the MRN studies revealed a mass lesion along the course of the SSN.

|191 consecutive patients
|To evaluate magnetic resonance neurography for the evaluation of peripheral nerve, brachial plexus, and nerve root disorders.
|The decrease in abnormal signal detected on subsequent MRN correlated with time from onset of symptoms and the time interval between MRN, but not with resolution of symptoms. Twenty-one patients underwent MRN postoperatively to assess persistent, recurrent, or new symptoms; of these 3 (14.3%) required a subsequent surgery. Magnetic resonance neurography is a valuable adjunct to conventional MR imaging and EMG/NCS in the evaluation and localization of nerve root, brachial plexus, and peripheral nerve lesions. The authors found that MRN is indicated in patients: 1) in whom EMG and traditional MR imaging are inconclusive; 2) who present with brachial plexopathy who have previously received radiation therapy to the brachial plexus region; 3) who present with brachial plexopathy and have systemic tumors; and 4) in patients under consideration for surgery for peripheral nerve lesions or after trauma. Magnetic resonance neurography is limited by the size of the nerve trunk imaged and the timing of the study.

|A higher b-value of 10 s/mm(2) was better in signal suppression of blood vessels, whereas an intermediate iMSDEprep-time of 50 ms provided the best compromise between suppression of muscle signal and minimization of signal loss of nerves. With these parameters, the normal nerve structures showed high signal intensity, while the blood vessels and muscles were effectively suppressed. The optimized D-prep MRN sequence clearly showed the three-dimensional trajectory of the brachial plexus, lumbosacral plexus, and cranial nerves.

|1,624 patients
|Retrospective study to examine long-term radiation complications following conservative surgery and radiation therapy in patients with early stage breast cancer.
|The incidence of rib fracture was 2.2% (28/1300) among patients treated on a 4 MV linear accelerator, compared with 0.4% (1/276) for patients treated on a 6 or 8 MV machine (p = 0.05). Of patients treated on a 4 MV machine, 0.4% (1/279) developed a rib fracture when a whole breast dose of 45 Gy or less was given, 1.4% (10/725) after receiving between 45 and 50 Gy, and 5.7% (17/296) following 50 Gy or higher. Tissue necrosis requiring surgical correction developed in three patients (0.18%) 22, 25, and 114 months after treatment. Presumed pericarditis (requiring hospitalization) was seen in 0.4% of women (3/831) who received radiation therapy to the left breast 2, 2, and 11 months after the start of treatment. Three women (0.18%) developed sarcomas in the treatments field at 72, 107, and 110 months, for a 10-year actuarial rate of 0.8%. Two of these sarcomas developed in areas of probable match-line overlap. One patient (0.06%) developed an in-field basal cell carcinoma at 42 months. In conclusion, the risk of significant complications following conservative surgery and radiation therapy for early stage breast cancer is low.

|To investigate the usefulness of preoperative evaluation based on clinical testing and computed tomography (CT) myelography in differentiating root rupture (that is, graftable root) from root avulsion in total brachial plexus palsy.
|The combination of a positive Tinel sign and a positive shoulder protraction test accurately predicted the presence of a graftable root in 93.7% of the cases. A 96.8% rate of accuracy was attained if the results of the CT myelography were considered together with the clinical signs. The presence of Bernard-Horner syndrome and hand pain accurately indicated avulsion of the lower roots in 93.7% of the patients. Computed tomography myelography accurately predicted the condition of the lower roots in 100% of the cases. Total avulsion injury was observed in five cases (16%). The lower roots were avulsed in 94% of the cases. The C-5 and C-6 roots were grafted 40 times, and a suitable root stump for grafting lay in a retroscalenic position in 18 (45%) of the 40 cases.Preoperative assessment based on clinical examination and CT myelography allowed correct surgical planning in more than 90% of the cases.

|To clarify the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging characteristics of the brachial and lumbar plexuses in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) using various kinds of sequences, including diffusion-weighted images (DWI).
|In the patient group, diffuse enlargement and abnormally high signals were detected in 16 out of 24 plexuses (66.7%) on STIR, a slightly high signal was detected in 12 of 24 plexuses (50%) on T1-weighted images, and a high-intensity signal was detected in 10 of 18 plexuses (55.6%) on DWIs with high ADC values. Contrast enhancement of the plexuses was revealed in 6 of 19 plexuses (31.6%) and was mild in all cases. There were statistically significant differences between the ADC values of patients with either swelling or abnormal signals and those of both normal volunteers and patients without neither swelling nor abnormal signals. There were no relationships between MR imaging and any clinical findings. STIR is sufficient to assist clinicians in diagnosing CIDP. T1-weighted images and DWIs seemed useful for speculating about the pathological changes in swollen plexuses in CIDP patients.

Post hoc pair-wise comparisons showed that the ADC within malignant tumors differed significantly from that within benign tumors and postradiation changes. ADC within benign tumors and postradiation changes did not differ significantly from each other.

|40 patients
|To estimate intrastudy, intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility of DTI-derived measurements and fibre tractography (FT) at 3.0 T MR imaging in subjects without known brachial plexus pathology.
|Minimum and maximum percent variability were 6% and 20% for FA (85%-93% reproducibility). For ADC minimum and maximum percent variability were 6% and 18% (86%-97% reproducibility). Quality of fibre tract was rated equal in 80% and slightly different in 20% of subjects. Minimum detectable differences between limb were 37% for FA and 32% for ADC. Intra- and inter-observer agreement were good. Evaluating the combined influence of the observer and of the repeated measurements the reproducibility was 81-92%.

|10 healthy volunteers including 1 patients
|To demonstrate the feasibility of DTI and fiber tractography of the nerves of the sacral plexus in healthy volunteers.
|There were no significant differences in any of the estimated diffusion measures between the right and left sided nerves or between the nerves L4 to S3 on an intra-subject basis. Furthermore, clinical feasibility of DTI and tractography in a child having spina bifida and neurogenic bladder dysfunction is demonstrated. The architectural configuration of the child's sacral plexus was comparable with the healthy volunteers and no significant disrupted nerve fibers were observed.

|6 volunteers 12 patients
|To assess the feasibility and potential clinical applications of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and tractography in the normal and pathologic brachial plexus prospectively.
|Reconstructed DTI (17/18) were of good quality (one case could not be reconstructed due to artifacts). In all volunteers and in 11 patients, the roots and the trunks were clearly delineated with tractography. Mean FA and mean ADC values were as follows: 0.30+/-0.079 and 1.70+/-0.35 mm2/s in normal fibers, 0.22+/-0.04 and 1.49+/-0.49 mm2/s in benign neurogenic tumors, and 0.24+/-0.08 and 1.51+/-0.52 mm2/s in malignant tumors, respectively. In patients with fiber displacement alone, surgery confirmed the tractography findings, and excision was successful without sequelae. The preliminary data suggest that DTI with tractography is feasible in a clinical routine setting. DTI may demonstrate normal tracts, tract displacement, deformation, infiltration, disruption, and disorganization of fibers due to tumors located within or along the brachial plexus, therefore, yielding additional information to the current standard anatomic imaging protocols.

|To assess the performance and potential clinical effects of combined 2-[fluorine 18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the axilla and brachial plexus in patients suspected of having local-regional breast cancer metastases.
|9 patients had local-regional breast cancer metastases. MR imaging was diagnostic for tumor in five patients and was indeterminate in four patients with axillary or chest wall metastases. With FDG PET, metastatic tumor was positively identified in all nine patients. MR imaging was useful for determining the relationship of metastatic tumor to axillary and supraclavicular neurovascular structures. FDG PET helped confirm metastases in patients with indeterminate MR imaging findings and depicted unsuspected metastases outside the axilla. MR imaging and FDG PET are complementary in detecting and characterizing local-regional breast cancer metastases. Combined FDG PET and MR imaging provide useful treatment-planning data for patients clinically suspected of having recurrent axillary or supraclavicular breast cancer.

Got this link from my sibling, and donated 260 grains of rice (reached vocab level 43 in that one try – don't know how good or bad that is, but at least it gives you a bench mark to compete against 🙂 ) .
Looks like you can try as many times as you want and so, if you have a kiddo you want to vocabularize (that's a new word I coined), this is your chance!
Tried it several times, and that first try has been my best one yet. Learned something new. An example, did you realize that diametrically opposite is a tautological term? Apparently diametric means completely opposed. No wonder I got it wrong – I selected round.
Update: I really like this site. What it has that sets it apart from other click-here-to-feed-a-hungry-mouth sites is the side effect of education. To paraphrase the FAQ, there are 50 levels, and it is apparently very difficult to exceed Level 48.
For the competition 😉 : I have oscillated/ranged from level 36 to level 47 (yes, I touched 47 – I was on a roll).
All said and done, the most appealing aspect of this site is that the rice donations are totally independent of the level. Even kiddo can range from levels 1-3 and still donate 20 grains of rice per correctly clicked word. And yeah, I've almost gotten to 5,000 grains (and counting 🙂 ), and he is nearing 2,000.
Update #2: Never knew about these Yahoo awards. There are some good web sites.

Ms. Stephanie Chalon Hill has dedicated her professional life to serving the community through her work in higher education for the past seventeen years. A native Nevadan, Ms. Hill was raised in North Las Vegas along with four siblings by parents Gregory and Jackie Hill and Grandfather Willard Hill, Sr. She graduated from Rancho High School in 1992 with a full-ride academic and music scholarship to UNLV. After three years of majoring in music at UNLV, Ms. Hill took a break to test out the workforce before resuming her studies at what was then known as the Community College of Southern Nevada (CCSN). She earned an Associates of Arts degree from CCSN in 2000 before returning to UNLV to complete a Bachelor's degree in Education in 2001 and Master's in Public Administration in 2007. She is currently a doctoral candidate in Organizational Leadership with a minor in Community College Leadership at Nova Southeastern University.
Ms. Hill began her professional career at the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) in 1999. During her seventeen-year tenure, she has shown an unwavering commitment towards developing a student-centered campus community that promotes the personal, social and academic development of students at the College of Southern Nevada. This has been accomplished through her various roles and responsibilities as Student Recruitment & Retention Specialist III; Director for Student Life and Leadership Development (advisor to ASCSN); Coordinator for Campus Tutoring; Project Director for TRiO Student Support Services; Associate Dean for Student Affairs, Assistant Vice President for Strategic Initiatives and District Relations, Assistant Vice President for Student Engagement Services and currently Associate Vice President for Student Engagement Services. The depth, breadth, and scope of these experiences and responsibilities have provided her a clear understanding of access, intake, matriculation, and academic and social processes and their critical relationship to student issues, growth and development, and ultimately their success. In addition, from these experiences she has developed a solid background in community and campus outreach and engagement which has earned her numerous awards, recognitions, and accolades over the years including the NISOD Leadership Excellence Award, ASCSN Administrator of the Year, and the State of Nevada Legislature Award for Commitment to Education in Nevada and Contributions to Student Lives.
Ms. Hill's leadership contribution to student success has been comprehensive and multifaceted ranging from entry level front line services to senior level administration. As a student recruitment and retention specialist she provided comprehensive services that included access to CSN as well as service and support throughout the entire student life cycle. In working with TRiO Student Support services she provided guidance, advising, and mentoring to first generation, low income and disabled students yielding academic achievement, persistence, retention, transfer and graduation rates higher than the general CSN student population. Currently as a senior administrator, she works collaboratively and cooperatively to develop and revise policy, practices, procedures and programming with the goal of transforming the organization, organizational culture, and the student and staff experience by placing student success, equity and inclusiveness, and customer service at the forefront.
It is her belief that leadership is not defined by title alone but is the direct result of the positive influence and impact that one can have, regardless of rank and position, on the lives and experiences of students, staff, the features of an organization and the global community.
Ms. Hill served for several years on the Board of Directors for the Western Region Council on Black American Affairs having also held the position of Secretary during her tenure with the Board. She currently serves as the President of the newly formed State of Nevada Council on Black American Affairs.

Yields.io, a disruptive model validation service provider, announces a €1.25 million seed funding round led by Volta Ventures. Pamica NV, the investment company of Michel Akkermans, former chairman and CEO of Clear2Pay and FICS, is co-investor. Both Volta Ventures and Michel Akkermans will join the Yields.io board.
Yields.io offers automated model monitoring and validation services to the financial sector, identifying issues in algorithms and turning them into actionable business insights. The solution provides C-level executives with a real-time comprehensive overview of all model risk across the enterprise, bringing transparency to the highly specialized field of mathematical modeling.
Simultaneously it empowers the quantitative teams with a solution to shorten the development cycle and address new business opportunities more quickly. In order to comply with increasingly strict ECB requirements related to the use of mathematical models, several Tier 1 investment banks are already piloting Yields.io's platform.
The company was founded in April 2017 by James D'Aquino, Sébastien Viguié and Jos Gheerardyn and currently employs seven people out of its offices in Ghent (Belgium)and New York City. "After the credit crisis and the London Whale incident, model risk - which is the risk one takes by using mathematical models - has become centerstage in the financial industry", explains Jos Gheerardyn, co-founder and CEO of Yields.io.
"The process of model testing is currently very manual. As a consequence, banks can hardly keep up with the increased requirements around model governance.Yields.io leverages A.I. to bring more transparency to this process and to empower model validators, model users and managers alike with a highly scalable and structured solution."
Michel Akkermans, co-investor adds: "In an environment that is still dominated by consulting companies offering manual outsourcing solutions, our investment will allow Yields.io to accelerate its product development to better address the needs of financial institutions. In addition, the company will build out an international sales team and increase its marketing activities."
"It was the outstanding combination of a financial background, mathematical expertise and modular software systems that impressed us", concludes venture partner Yves Petit at Volta Ventures. "Yields.io's platform is an excellent automation solution in a very labour-intensive world, while also providing the financial C-level with a heatmap of its company-wide used models. Supporting Yields.io in providing this solution now onto a global scale is a challenge we look forward to."

AMORCE, one of SHERPA's French partners, selected 6 buildings from 3 different municipalities in which energy audits following the project's methodology will be carried out in 2019.
Accurate knowledge of the state of its building is the first thing to do for ensuring the implementation of the most ambitious renovation operations possible in terms of financial investment. It is for this reason that AMORCE, as part of SHERPA, proposes to local authorities, to have a "pilot" energy audit carried out by the design office Inddigo . 6 buildings were selected in 3 different municipalities:
- Valence Romans agglomeration: the Bayet primary school built in 1960, 2140m2 as well as the socio-educational building, the Maison Pour Tous de Fonbarlette, built in 1970, both 730m2 heated by district heating.
- Community of municipalities of the Mont Blanc region: the Contamines-Monjoie town hall, which is a building built in 1945 and heated with fuel oil, on 1250m2, as well as the primary school of Le Fayet in Saint Gervais les Bains, buildings from 1997, of 1800m2.
- Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole: the Jean Taris swimming pool, built in 1981, of 950m2, heated by gas and the Jules Vernes multimedia library, built in 2002, heated by electricity, on 1500m2
These buildings were chosen to be representative of municipalities buildings at least by the distinction of their use.
A second wave of applications will identify 4 more buildings.
The synthesis of these audits will be presented during the national french seminar on public buildings in spring 2019.

How much do you know about the Plasson drinker ?
Plasson drinker,plasson broiler drinker,poultry bell drinker,animal drinkers,chicken drinker,plasson chicken waterer.
Plasson drinkers are made of a rugged high-impact plastic specially formulated to withstand the ravages of the active broiler house for many years.
The unique feature of the Plasson Drinker is the ballast bottle, which acts independently of the bell and eliminates wear on the valve mechanism.
Find out how you can water your flocks from day old chicks to adult birds with Plasson Drinkers, for fool proof and profit making performance.
Plasson drinkers are supported by a world-wide network of authorized distributors who provide expert installation, full service, and a complete line of Plasson products and original spare parts.
Ensure a constant water level and a dry floor. Once a bird drinks as little as 10grams (1/3 oz.) of water, this highly sensitive and maintenance free system is activated.
Incorporates a bayonet-based bell, a special handle hook and an efficient stacking design.
Combine all of these factors and you have a system that is easy to ship and install.
- Approximately 8-10 Plasson Drinkers are needed per 1000 adult birds.
- Working pressure: 0.4- 0.8 bar (6-12 psi) for optimum efficiency.
- The pressure can be regulated by means of a pressure regulator or via a head tank.
- The ballast bottle should be completely filled with water up to the water level line. In frost prone areas, add antifreeze to the water.
- Adjust drinkers to the proper drinking height, always keeping the drinker lip a little higher than the bird's back.
- Keep water level in the bell trough as low as possible. Incorporates
If wet litter develops around the drinker, check the following:
- Is the water pressure too high?
- Is the water level in the bell trough too high?
- Are the drinkers raised high enough?

Going green shouldn't be this expensive
I've increasingly become jealous of those folks that are green - you know, the ones that drive a hybrid, bike where possible, use green products in their home, eat natural and organic foods, and use less energy. I want to do all those things but just can't seem to get it all together and it's not because I don't know how. To be honest there is one major factor holding me back: cost.
Why are environmentally conscious products so darned expensive? It seems like everything is at least double the price. It makes it every difficult to make the right choice especially in this economy.
For instance, on Monday I decided that I would go to Whole Foods rather than my local supermarket to pick up a couple things (this is all part of my whole better me project). Here's the receipt:
- milk - 3.49
- grapes - 4.99
- cheese - 4.99
- salad - 4.99
- conditioner - 2.39 (this was the cheapest available)
- baking soda - .99
- vinegar - 2.99
- cantaloupe - 2.99
- kids vitamins - 4.99
Some of these items are about 50 cents to one dollar more expensive than my regular grocery store and individually who really cares, right? But, add everything up and we're looking at $10-$15 (after taxes etc) more for one bag of groceries. And, as you can tell, I just picked up some random things - it wasn't my monthly trip to the store. So, I can only imagine what that'll cost.
I'm sure an economist would explain that it's supply and demand and market forces that are making these products a little more expensive than others and I would be encouraged to continue purchasing and demanding these products from all stores and eventually prices would go down. Great...thanks for the explanation and encouragement but what I need in the meanwhile is more money if I want to make the better choice. It's time to make green affordable for us all because I want be green too!

Students should have one (1) pick-up location in the AM and one (1) drop-off location in the PM. Changes may only occur if the student has written permission from the school Principal or his/her designee and only in the case of emergency or extenuating circumstances.
Students at the elementary school should have a parent and/or guardian waiting or visible at the bus stop.
If no parent and/or guardian is present, an elementary student may be dropped off, only if the driver can see the student enter the home safely.
No student will be dropped off if the child feels unsafe or uncomfortable.
Kindergarten students must have a parent and/or guardian at the bus stop to be dropped off.
If students are not dropped off, all go back to their respective schools at the end of the route unless the driver can safely drop off the student during the route.

My abstract art is all about the process. Sometimes it's about the motion of making marks that result from large gestures. Other times it's about the surface of the canvas. I scrape, squirt and rub until I get what I want. Although I generally have something in mind when I start a canvas, often times in reacting to each mark made, I wind up in a very different place from where I started. Having been a graphic designer for so many years, composition and structure are very important to me as well as surface texture and color. Sometimes subject matter emerges, and I go with that if it interests me. Sometimes the marks, color and form are their own subject matter.
I attended college at Carnegie Mellon University where I earned a BFA in graphic design. My interest in abstraction flows naturally from being a designer.
After working in my design career for several years, I started my own business , which I sold in 2007 to pursue my interest in painting as well as to have more personal time. Over the years I have taken a variety of painting classes at local colleges and with private instructors. I am currently taking open studio at the Delaplaine Center in Frederick, MD with Ed Ramsburg.
