FAQ's About Hiring an Orlando Bellydancer
Will You Bring The Music?
Yes, I will bring all of my music on an iPod. You do not need to worry about a thing. If the event is held at a residence, I will even bring my own portable Bose sound system to ensure that there is a loud system to play my music on. The portable Bose is ideal for smaller events (up to 30 people in a living room or outdoor lanai area).
I recommend that you contact a DJ if you have more guests or a larger space. More sound power will be necessary to accommodate a larger space.
How Much Space Do You Need?
The more the better jaja! At the absolute minimum, a 10′ x 10′ space will suffice. As far as arrangement, a "U-shape set up is ideal or a set up where the audience is all in front of me and I take up the entire back of the space. This is preferred as no one will see the back of me. Everyone will have a clear view of all that is occurring with props and show numbers.
My Party Is Out Of State. Can You Come Entertain At My Party?
These are always super flattering requests! I do travel out of state or internationally to perform for corporate events and private parties (I have even been hired to perform internationally in B.V.I. for example). So the answer is "yes", I can definitely entertain your guests if they don't live in Orlando. In addition to my performance fee, you will also need to factor in my fees for the travel, lodging, and a food voucher. Contact me if you would like me to help you coordinate this.
How Do We Tip You?
I allow guests to tip me yes, but only in the form of a money shower. If you hire me then you can also provide an envelope with the tip after the performance, or do so electronically on my HIRE page. I know many guests get excited and have seen body tipping on T.V. but I do not allow it at all and respect your cooperation. Here is a BLOG POST I wrote on the subject to guide you on appropriate behavior regarding this.
Why Are Your Prices Higher Than The Other Bellydancers I Called?
Why would you pay more for a Bentley compared to a Kia? The answer is simple, quality. I have the vast experience, top awards, continual training, high-end look, master level show standards and the personality to put you at ease. Let's be frank…when you are hiring a bellydancer for your Orlando wedding reception or birthday party, quality is not something you want to skimp on.
Cheaper DOES NOT= Better. In fact, the lower the price (even just $50), the less the experience level. I understand everyone has different situations, and my Easy Payment Plan Option can ease any monetary anxiety if that appeals to you.
Why Should I Hire You Instead of Another Dancer?
- I am an internationally renowned, multi-award winning, World Champion Bellydancer. How many dancers can say that? Read my About page to read the list of all my awards.
- Strong Showmanship: You don't just want a pretty face in a pretty costume. You want an entertainer with emotion, energy, and humor. I ENTERTAIN and get the guests dancing, laughing, and emotionally involved in the show.
- I used to be an event supervisor: Before I worked full time as a belly dancer at birthday parties and weddings, I was an event supervisor pulling off lavish events across Florida for celebrity parties, wealthy clients, and huge corporate events and weddings. Let's just say, I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING
- Easy To Work With: No diva here! I enjoy working with you to create fabulous belly dance event shows the entire family can enjoy. I pride myself in making the process easy, stress free and pleasant.
- Watch The Videos: Once you watch and compare, you will see what a high-level bellydance performer is like and how that compares visually, technically, and emotionally with everyone else.

Evil Town by J. David Bethel
The wife of popular Florida Congressman (and prospective Senatorial candidate) Clegg Caffery is murdered. FBI Special Agent Matt Thurston begins an investigation that leads him from the Pentagon to the small town of Clewiston, Florida in search of a photographer responsible for the photo found in the murdered woman's hand. He arrives too late. The man has committed suicide. Although Thurston uncovers a strange and suspicious story about the dead photographer that he believes is worthy of continued investigation, he is abruptly steered away from the case by his superiors.
Angered by this turn of events, Thurston enlists the assistance of two reporters. With their involvement, he begins to peel away layers of lies and deceit hiding the truth about the murder. Along the way, Thurston slowly unravels a complex weave of story lines that includes a sex for hire plot involving the President's wife; an attempt by computer magnate Norman Bremen to subvert the workings of Congress to ensure the survival of his sugar interests in Florida; and the revelation of a cover-up of a war crime in Vietnam that threatens the Presidency.
Although Evil Town is a work of fiction, it is based on historical and current events. The Vietnam element of the plot delves into the massacre of Vietnamese villagers at Co Luy. This occurred on the same day as the My Lai killings and happened as described in the novel. The military and political cover-up of the incident detailed in Evil Town is an interpretation of actual events that relegated Co Luy to the back pages of history.
The description of the political maneuvering related to the restoration of the Everglades, and to the "sugar wars" in Florida, is a dramatization of the intrigue currently being played out by power brokers, the media and Congress on this issue.
While it should come as no surprise that the drug war can be managed and waged for political purposes – a subplot in Evil Town – it is the subtleties of international politics that often allow this to happen. The novel provides insight on how this is possible.
Through it all, Matt Thurston and his allies match wits with the most powerful in Washington putting themselves in harm's way. Truth, honor and justice are slippery concepts in this story of politics and fragile human relationships.
David Bethel has created a fascinating fictitious thriller that takes readers into the dark, seamy hidden world of backdoor Washington politics where influential characters become players in a ruthless high stakes game involving scandal, blackmail, and cover-ups. Those who become ensnared in this tangled web of deception become susceptible to manipulation and corruption.
After the murder of a high-profile politician's wife, Joanna Caffery, FBI Special Agent Matt Thurston begins to uncover the covert power plays already in motion. Although Joanna's murder seems to be a closed case, Matt finds numerous holes in the investigation and has too many unanswered questions to just walk away even though his superiors have ordered him to do so. With the help of an aspiring journalist and a seasoned reporter, Matt begins a search for the truth behind what really happened to Joanna. Working together they expose a complex plan that interweaves environmental issues, international drug operations, and an explosive cover-up from the Vietnam War era.
The story is narrated from multiple characters' perspectives, and all of the various story threads clearly tie together by the end of the book to create a unified well-written plot that is unsettling yet believable. The storyline is engaging, suspenseful, and kept my interest until the very end.
If you are a fan of the thriller genre, you should definitely check out Evil Town. I found it to be an enthralling and memorable reading experience.
I received a copy of this book from the author to provide a fair and honest review.
J. David Bethel is a writer of fiction and non-fiction. He has been published in popular consumer magazines and respected political journals. He is the author of Evil Town, a novel of political intrigue that has received high praise from Washington opinion leaders, and is one of only a few novels that has been rewarded with Five-Stars by all readers who provided reviews for the Kindle site.
Mr. Bethel spent 35 years in politics and government. He served in the Senior Executive Service as a political appointee where he was Senior Adviser/Director of Speechwriting for the Secretary of Commerce; directed speechwriting offices for other Cabinet officials, serving as Chief Speechwriter to the Secretary of Education; and lead speechwriter in the Department of Transportation's Office of Policy and International Affairs.
He also served as press secretary/speechwriter to members of U.S. Congress. Bethel authored the speech given by Senator Paul Laxalt (R-Nevada) nominating then-Governor Ronald Reagan as the GOP candidate for President.
Mr. Bethel works as a media consultant for a number of prominent communications management firms, including Burson Marsteller and The Wade Group. He writes speeches, opinion editorials and Congressional testimony for CEOs of the nation's largest corporations, including the Monsanto Corporation, Hilton Hotels Corporation, and Royal Caribbean Lines. His op-ed pieces have appeared in The Washington Post and other prominent newspapers around the country.
J. David Bethel graduated with Phi Beta Kappa honors from Tulane University and lives in Miami, Florida.
What Others Are Saying About Evil Town
Most novels about Washington frustrate those of us who live and work in the Capital City. Not so with David Bethel's novel. He knows Washington. He knows politics and the personalities. Bethel brings us a beautifully written inside Washington page-turner. A true joy to read.
Michelle Laxalt
Contributor, Fox News, MSNBC, CNN
Evil Town captured the dirty underbelly of a city filled with bloated egos, big money, greed and power. David captures the essence of what is often missed by those that have not lived and breathed the high octane air in our Nation's Capital. I speak from experience having spent 12 years in the US House. For every character in David's "Evil Town" I can give you the name of a real, live person that fits the depiction exactly. In fact, I found myself trying to figure out what real life person David was using to create his characters. There is even one character that is a combination of a couple of different people. (You might want to see if you can figure out which one that is!) For a page turner and a good read, pick up a copy of "Evil Town", fill a glass with your favorite relaxation beverage and settle down to an evening of fantastic reading adventure.
Former Congressman James Lighfoot
Having worked on Capitol Hill and in the Executive Branch, this book rings very true. It provides a gripping insider's take and should be on the must read list for anyone who wants to understand the real Washington.
W. Bruce Weinrod
Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense
David's writing reminds me of Elmore Leonard, but unlike Leonard whose characters and plots are on the verge of fantasy, David writes about people with whom you can relate in situations that are entirely believable.

Zoombinis Kindle Info
Known Technical Issues
Current version.
The latest version of Zoombinis is 1.0.4 - this was a November release, fixed several bugs, and added captioning in both English and Spanish.
I can't find the credits.
There should be a small link to the credits in the upper right of the Options window; some devices are not showing it, we're looking into it.
Some puzzles are unsolvable in a way that all Zoombinis can't get through.
Some puzzles can just be really hard, but if you think you've spotted an issue in the logic, please email us at email@example.com and include as much detail as possible including your device info and screenshots if possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
I remember the Zoombinis have "feet" sounds as they move - will those be restored?
This is still on the list of things to do. The sounds were in our earlier builds but in scenes where multiple Zoombinis were moving it resulted in a cacophony.
I'm a Kickstarter backer but didn't get my download.
Contact us (see below) and we'll take care of you.
What about the two Zoombinis sequels - Mountain Rescue and Island Odyssey?
We would like to do the sequels, but that work depends on how well the tablet version of the game does.
Unfortunately Amazon doesn't have a direct way to get a refund - essentially you need to write customer service. There's a bit of a "guide" here (more of a commentary). Sorry, we do not have a way to handle this for you.

Freie Universität is one of the eleven universities to have been successful in all three lines of funding in the German government's Excellence Initiative in 2012. The future development concept of Freie Universität is based on three key strategic centers: the Center for Research Strategy, which focuses on research planning; the Center for International Cooperation; and the Dahlem Research School, which supports next-generation academic talent.
When Freie Universtät was being established in 1948, the idea was to create a university similar to Oxford. The idea came by famous Berlin scholars of the time, like Einstein, Lisa Meitner and others, to create a unified progressive environment for younger and eager students to learn and collaborate. In the beginning not much was offered by Freie Universität because of the hard conditions. By donations from USA to help in the foundation and construction of building complexes, Freie Universtät grew and extended so much as to now offer 15 departments and central institutes including veterinary studies. It also offers the Dahlem Research Campus, a strong international research campus and one of the best botanical gardens in Germany.
In 2007 Freie Universität was awarded the University of Excellence, a famous and sought-after prize in Germany. Many famous scholars and researches have come out of Freie Universität faculties. It also has the largest University Clinic in Europe known as Charité – a joint medical department with Humboldt Universität, employing over 4.230 academic and non-academic staff in total. Comparing to other universities, Freie Universität offers a high degree of autonomy in terms of individual ideas and decision-making. 29.000 students in Bachelor's and Master's degrees, 15% coming from abroad, attend courses in Freie Universität. English courses and programs are offered for non-German speakers.

10.High standard of living in Germany
German cities such as Munich, Berlin, Hamburg are consistently ranked among the most liveable cities in the world. Big cities in Germany are also, in general, safer than those in the USA.

Let's face it -- not everyone goes to study abroad to perfect their language skills. Going for the cultural experience and life in a new place is just as much a factor. Using a study abroad program allows you to tailor a program to fit what you want and make sure that learning in English is a priority.
Finding a program that offers the majority of its courses in English is a great first step. Check out these study abroad opportunities in Germany to find one that meets your language-learning needs. If you're uncertain, you can ask a question right on the study abroad program page and alumni from that program will answer you.
You can also visit your school's study abroad office to find out about partner universities in Germany. Often times, North American schools will partner with foreign institutions that specifically offer programming in their native language. It's not a bad idea either to ask your school if they offer German language courses. Even a semester's worth of language classes or short summer intensive will go a long way to prepare you for life in Germany. Chances are you might be able to use some of the credits to pad out your degree as well!
Furthermore, many German universities provide different options for varying levels of German-language abilities, including English instruction for absolute beginners.
You can even choose whether to take courses alongside local German students or other international students. With a little extra research, you'll be able to find the perfect program that pairs survival German classes and other subject courses taught with English instruction.
Remember that there is no best option when it comes to choosing a study abroad experience; just choose the best one for you.
For English speakers who aren't comfortable speaking German except for the occasional "pass the schnitzel" or "Nein!" it's no problem (or "Kein Problem," as the Germans would say) for those wanting to study here.
Not only is Germany a hugely cosmopolitan country, with many English services available in its larger cities, but a 2012 survey by the European Commission revealed that 50% of Germans feel comfortable speaking English. In my experience, that number tends to be even higher amongst German youth and students -- the exact people you'll be interacting with the most during your time studying abroad.
For those students who aren't confident in their German language skills, there are plenty of programs taught in English all over the country. You'll just need to be a little pickier when you're selecting which program in Germany to study abroad with.

More information about Yemen is available on the Yemen Page and from other Department of State publications and other sources listed at the end of this fact sheet.
The United States established diplomatic relations with North Yemen in 1946 and South Yemen in 1967. The North had previously been part of the Ottoman Empire, and the South had been ruled by the United Kingdom. The Yemen Arab Republic (North Yemen) severed relations with the United States on June 7, 1967 in the wake of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Diplomatic relations were reestablished in July 1972 after a visit to Sana'a by U.S. Secretary of State William P. Rogers. The U.S. embassy in Aden closed when the People's Republic of Southern Yemen severed diplomatic relations with the United States on October 24, 1969. In 1970, the People's Republic of Southern Yemen changed its name to the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen and on April 30, 1990, the United States resumed diplomatic relations with the country. The Yemen Arab Republic and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen unified under the Republic of Yemen in 1990. In 1994 civil war broke out in Yemen over North-South contentions and the country continues to struggle with issues over unification. After reunification Yemen elected Ali Abdullah Saleh, former president of the Yemen Arab Republic, to lead the country.
Demonstrations against former president Saleh in early 2011 led him to step down in November 2011 through a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-brokered initiative , Since then,Yemen has made methodical progress toward implementing its political transition , including the December 2011 formation of a National Consensus Government, the February 2012 election of Abdo Rabo Mansour Hadi as president for the two year transition period, and the March 2013 launch of a six-month National Dialogue – a broad gathering of 565 delegates from across the political spectrum, brought together for the most inclusive discussion of its kind in Yemen's history.
U.S. Assistance to Yemen
The United States has a strong and growing partnership with Yemen. The people of Yemen are looking to create a new political reality, with a government that is increasingly responsive, accountable, and capable of addressing urgent needs and building a solid foundation for the country's long-term development, growth, security, and stability. The United States has committed $256 million in assistance to Yemen to date in Fiscal Year (FY) 2013, in addition to the more than $356 million allocated in FY 2012. Since the beginning of Yemen's transition in November 2011, U.S. aid to Yemen has totaled over $600 million.
We support the Yemeni government and people with a comprehensive strategy to promote the political, economic, and security sector reforms underpinning the country's Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-brokered political transition initiative. Our aid is also focused on partnering with the Yemeni government to meet the critical needs of its citizens. The United States provides humanitarian assistance, delivers economic assistance, supports good governance, encourages expanded political participation, assists with the development of a professional and capable security sector, and provides security assistance to combat the threat of violent extremism. The U.S. government also continues to support the Yemeni private sector and non-governmental partners, in conjunction with the Yemeni government, to improve standards of living, reduce poverty and unemployment, expand infrastructure and access to services by advocating for improved policies and regulations in order to enhance the business investment and operational climate in the country.
For more information on U.S. assistance to Yemen, please visit http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2013/08/212649.htm.
Bilateral Economic Relations
Energy exports generate the majority of Yemen's governmental revenue. Most U.S. investment in Yemen is in the oil and gas exploration and production sectors. The United States and Yemen have signed a trade and investment framework agreement. The two also have concluded bilateral market access negotiations as part of Yemen's efforts to accede to the World Trade Organization. The bilateral agreement provides new market access opportunities for U.S. providers of agriculture, goods, and services.
Yemen's Membership in International Organizations
Yemen and the United States belong to a number of the same international organizations, including the United Nations, International Monetary Fund, and World Bank. Yemen is in the final stages of its World Trade Organization ascension. Additionally, Yemen is a member of the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Yemen also participates in the nonaligned movement; and, although not a member of the GCC, is allowed limited participation in some organizational affairs.
Bilateral Representation
The U.S. Ambassador to Yemen is Matthew H. Tueller; other principal embassy officials are listed in the Department's Key Officers List.
Yemen maintains an embassy in the United States at 2319 Wyoming Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20008 (tel: 202-965-4760).

What Happened To The Age Of The Horror Icon?
Horror & comic Geek from Minneapolis
Our Lance David Fier takes a look at why we don't seem to see the birth of as many long standing new slasher icons in modern horror films.
What Happened To The Age Of The Horror Icon?
The horror film genre, often disregarded as tripe by many filmmakers and fans, yet as old as filmmaking itself.  Horror as a concept has a massively rich history which stems back centuries through story telling. This was essential in human social development since the beginning of civilization. Long before parents could depend on daycares, teachers, counselors, and police to keep their children safe, they simply told them horrifying stories of monsters that would carry them away if they misbehaved or wandered too far from home.
With the birth of film in the late 1800s, horror films became an immediate staple with such titles as Le Manoir du diable or The House of the Devil, by French stage magician Georges Méliès. You see, Méliès believed film was the next evolutionary step for illusionists, as he created some of the very first eye popping visual effects while filmmaking was in it's infancy. Over 25 years later we get the birth of the movie monster with Nosferatu, the unlicensed German adaptation of Bram Stokers gothic novel, Dracula. It wasn't long before the "Age of the Movie Monster" came to pass with 1930s and 40s classics such as Frankenstein, Dracula and The Wolf Man. The 1960s and 70s brought us demonic forces like Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, and The Omen. I could not discuss this era without also mentioning the great George A. Romero and his 1968 flesh eating classic Night of the Living Dead which launched the horror genre's love affair with the zombie, eventually elevating the zombies to their own sub-genre.  Only 6 years later however, everything changed yet again when another brilliant horror director, Tobe Hooper, gave us a revolutionary new flavor of evil.
In 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre was released and changed the face of the horror genre in a more significant way than ever before and helped launch the "Age of the Horror Icon" as I call it. It was a time when some of our most cherished and memorable horror villains were brought to life. Sure the classic movie monsters like Dracula are still remembered but those stories of vampires and lycanthropes have been told for hundreds or even thousands of years. The horror icons in the blink of an eye, about a 15 year window, exploded in a kind of horror renaissance. First bringing us Leatherface the hillbilly cannibal, and Michael Myers, a terrifying mental patient that thinks like a demon, moves like a ghost, but kills like a man. Soon there was an army of these modern fairytale monsters & even heroes. Jason, Freddy, Chucky, Ash, Wishmaster, Pinhead, Leprechaun, Blade, Tall Man, Pumpkinhead, Sandman, Ghostface, and the list goes on! These killers were terrifying, but made you want to root for them. Fans couldn't get enough and it led to each character getting in some cases as many as 9 or 10 sequels. Just as quickly as this heyday of the horror film equivalent of comic book superheroes overflowed, it dried up.
Despite most of these horror icons continuing to be treasured and featured in sequels and reboots, the ability to create new ones that are as likable and sustainable seems to be a lost art, this is due partially to the natural flow of popular horror phases. Whatever style of horror film that is currently popular and attracts the best talent and writing comes in waves. It seems we are back in the thick of a paranormal demonic threat theme, which actually has several excellent entries recently such as The Conjuring. Eventually tastes change of course, but there is more to it than that. Many of the creators of these long lasting characters never intended them to be what they became, they simply wanted to make an impactful film with a terrifying villain, not necessarily a cultural phenomenon. When John Carpenter was first piecing together Michael Myers for his film Halloween, he had no idea the character would spawn 7 sequels to date plus a remake, and 2 sequels to the remake! Once other filmmakers and producers realized the staying power of these teen slashers, the genre became saturated with everyone's own version of Jason Voorhees. Some worked, but most failed, and by the mid 90s it led to the concept growing quite stale, but not yet dead. The final nail in the coffin was just around the corner.
Horror legend Wes Craven (Yes, even his name is scary) first really hit the scene with the cult classic The Hills Have Eyes, about a family that becomes stranded on a road trip and is being picked off by another family of cannibalistic desert nomads.  Later Craven became perhaps best known for his brilliant 1984 film, A Nightmare on Elm Street. Staring unarguably one of the top horror icons from this time, Freddy Krueger, a murderer returned from a fiery death for revenge who can enter your dreams and take your soul. Then, 12 years later he delivered to us the self-reflective, genre deconstructing gem, Scream. A huge breath of fresh air to a decaying horror concept but also an epic mic drop, one that brought a respectable end to a terrifying, fantastic, ridiculous, fun, and forever irreplaceable era of horror films. Craven very sadly passed away just last year at the age of 76, but the impact he made in the horror industry will never be overlooked.
Scream introduced the slasher baddie Ghostface, who had a simple look, the somewhat common white plastic Halloween ghost mask with black nylon hood and robe. Ghostface in the films was simply a series of disturbed people all dawning the same costume at different times. They are psychotic horror fans, who follow horror film themes and rules to commit intentionally horror film style murders, and if they get caught they will blame the same horror films. The killers and also the murder targets all seem to be subconsciously aware that they are in a horror film and use what they know about the genre to get away with murder or stay alive while a classic masked teen slasher is on the lose. Still while engaging in all the same tropes of the genre of course, such as lots of parties and drinking. Not to mention often referencing other iconic horror villains and films who've established these rules and tropes. It was the perfect fan-service parody of an aging horror style that simultaneously honored and respected that style. After Scream, the popular horror icons that had already been established were then immortalized and creating new characters that could capture the same spirit became extremely difficult. There was actually a HUGE surge in teen slasher films that resulted from the success of Scream, all featuring masked or deformed killers with catchy names, but none stood the test of time. The "Age of the Horror Icon" was officially over, and Silence of the Lambs had already ushered in the more sophisticated "Age of the Psychological Serial Killer."
There are some minor exceptions to this rule, but even these stand out from the classic icons is some substantial ways. Some may point to Rob Zombie's, Devil's Rejects series which can't seem to figure out what it wants to be from continuation to continuation, and is more of a mash-up of the best of Rob Zombie's favorite films. And of course there is Jigsaw, the genius engineer/gamester from the Saw series. The first Saw film from one of my favorite modern directors James Wan was excellent, but belongs more in the psychological serial killer category. This was before the series just devolved into torture porn, which if you are not familiar is horror that is just disturbing brutality for the sake of being as disturbing and brutal as possible without any substance.
Nope, the horror icon era was a one of a kind.
Don't get me wrong, I like modern horror. We get a relatively good mix of the demonic threats, with the aforementioned Conjuring and also Insidious series. We get great new modern movie monsters in films like The Babadook and It Follows, along with Universal Studio's plan to reboot their classic movie monsters (Dracula, Wolf Man).  The studios certainly aren't showing any signs of giving up on the classic horror icons either with new Friday the 13th, Halloween, and A Nightmare on Elm Street films amongst others that are in the works, but no new icons, just the classics from that one glorious pocket of time. Those horror heroes and how they all came to be is just one of those unique film history anomalies.
Who knows?
Maybe one day we will see a resurgence, with a whole fresh new crop of indiscriminate murderers in a second "Age of the Horror Icon."

Enterobiasis among Patients in the Roanoke Veterans Adm. Hospital 1
Surveys conducted in mental institutions and on general population groups show high incidence of infection with Enterobius vermicularis. A survey was made in this hospital to determine the rate of infection among the patients caused by this nematode.
Examinations where made by sections on each Ward, to establish the incidence of infection of each group, with the exception of Ward I where all the patients were considered one group. In all, 1,460 patients were examined by NIH swabs (Hall's anal swab), of whom 176 were found to be infected with E. vermicularis. For a check, 349 patients with negative results were reexamined, but no additional case could be detected. Specimens were taken mornings at 8 o'clock.
The infection rate of 11.98 per cent in 1,460 patients examined is low as compared with results obtained by Cram of the National Institute of Health, who reported on incidence of 35 per cent in 600 persons of various general population groups in Washington, D. C., and Smith who found the unusually high infection rate of 65.15 per cent in an institution for mentally deficient.

Your house roof is the most important part when it comes to taking care of your house. A roof leak can damage your house in many ways which may lead to rise in energy costs or repair costs and may add up to your monthly utility bills as well.
It is very important for you to find the right roofing company. If you are moving to a new home, you should look for an expert and professional Roofing contractors Canton Michigan for your roofing needs. It is very important that you trust your roofing contractor and let them visit your place and have your roof inspected. This is necessary to ensure if there is anything required right now.
A home owner should look for a roofing company that is honest and doesn't try to sell unnecessary services that is not needed and required. Don't fell into the trap of illegitimate companies that don't do their work properly and come up with large bills later. You must do research to understand that the contractor is well know and posses good repute, has professional and skilled staff and will provide you with best services for your roof.
Comparison is a very important part when hiring a roofing company. Look for companies that a located near to your house, make sure their workers and employed by them and are skilled and trained to do the installation and repairs skillfully, are licensed and insured to do the roofing work as well.
Ask your family members, friend for referrals and guidance. Look for ones who have get their roof done in the recent past.

As soon as you select the roofing company to hire, look for their website, check the reviews online, which kind of services they have performed and how well they have performed them? Look rationally keeping the facts in mind and do not make your opinion unless you reach a factual decision. Think about it from your own point of view, not on basis of someone else's opinion. After all it is you who is going to live in that house.

Quantum theory principles described by Einstein as 'spooky' to be exploited by scientists
Quantum physics is the science of the nanoscale (a nanometre is a billionth of a metre). At this scale, energy can only exist in discrete "packets", called quanta.
Physicists refer to the "state" of a quantum system, such as an electron. This describes an object's location, momentum, charge, wave form, "spin" (magnetic polarity) and energy level.
Scientists working on the quantum physics revolution want to exploit the strange behaviours that matter exhibits at the nanoscale.
At the macroscale, matter exhibits the property of particles bouncing around, however at the nanoscale, matter acts more like waves and this means things get weird.
1. Superposition
Quantum systems, such as photons or electrons, exist as probabilities. The wave-like structure means that an electron might exist in various locations.
And because matter at this scale behaves like waves, when subatomic "particles" interact they "interfere" with each other, like ripples on the surface of a pond, or sound waves coming from separate speakers.
The result of this is that quantum objects can effectively be at two places at the same time, but this cannot be directly observed – see uncertainty below.
Application: Used as the basis for quantum computing systems.
2. Uncertainty
Intimately related to superposition is the effect described by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Specifically, the more precisely we know a quantum object's position, the less precisely we know its trajectory – and vice versa.
As a consequence the quantum "state" of these objects cannot be known unless it is measured. And until that point the object exists in all of its possible quantum states. The act of measuring the object means that the object "collapses" into one of these possible states and it is that state we measure.
Application: Quantum sensors: the limits of measurement described by quantum mechanics will soon be used by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detector that recently confirmed the existence of gravitational waves, increasing its sensitivity.
3. Entanglement
Perhaps the strangest quantum property of all. Einstein dismissively called it "spooky action at a distance". Entanglement occurs where elements of a quantum system – such as their "spin" – are dependent on each other. It occurs when the quantum state of one object is necessarily the opposite of another object. Switch one, and you switch the other – instantly – even if they are at a distance. This is the basis of what is sometimes described as "quantum teleportation".
Application: Encoded data systems can use entanglement for communication protocols that are 100 per cent hacker proof.

I love baths and it was one of the non-negotiables when it came to buying a new flat, it had to have a bath. It's great me time with a cup of herbal tea, glass of wine or smoothie depending on my mood and how long I have. I also am a big fan of setting up my ipad with a tv programme and watching it while soaking away the stress.
When I was at Omassim one of the things that the masseuse suggested for helping with joint and muscle pain was epsom salts. When I visited my lovely dentist last week and told her about my hip, she also suggested epsom salt baths and she said that Radox did a product that she used as it smelled really nice. After two suggestions of using bath salts I figured I'd give it a try.
I got a box from Boots as I had enough points to get the free and I generally like to spend my points on a little treat or something different. They make the bath really blue and you don't need that much so even though the box wasn't as big as I thought it would be, it'll still do at least three or four baths.
I really liked the smell and it helped me relax and wind down. Also because of the salt it helped exfoliate my skin which it really needed. I'm not sure the effects on my muscles and joints as I find that having a bath without salts also helps that.
It's a nice additional to the bath so I'm considering if I order the set of 6 boxes from Amazon but I'm not quite sure where I'd store it all as I don't think it'd be a good idea to store it in my bathroom.

What does 'Jump the shark' mean?
Said of a salient point in a television show or other activity at which the popularity thereof begins to wane: The Flintstones jumped the shark when a man from outer space came to visit them. The expression derives from an episode of the television sitcom 'Happy Days' in which Fonzie, clad in leather jacket and on water skis, jumps over a shark. That episode was widely seen as the beginning of the end for the formerly popular series.

Perceptions of Economic Insecurity: Evidence from the Survey of Economic Expectations
NBER Working Paper No. 5690
We have recently initiated the Survey of Economic Expectations (SEE) to learn how Americans perceive their near-term futures. This paper uses SEE data on over two thousand labor force participants interviewed in 1994 and 1995 to describe how Americans in the labor force perceive the risk of near-term economic misfortune. We measure economic insecurity through responses to questions eliciting subjective probabilities of three events in the year ahead: absence of health insurance, victimization by burglary, and job loss. With item response rates exceeding 98 percent, respondents clearly are willing to answer the expectations questions and they appear to do so in a meaningful way. Using the responses to classify individuals as relatively secure, relatively insecure, and highly insecure, we find that respondents with a high risk of one adverse outcome tend also to perceive high risks of the other outcomes. Economic insecurity tends to decline with age and with schooling. Black respondents perceive much greater insecurity than do whites, especially among males. Within the period 1994-1995, we find some time-series variation in insecurity but no clear trends. We find that expectations and realizations of health insurance coverage and of jobs tend to match up quite closely, but respondents substantially overpredict the risk of burglary.

ED2016 3/5 Reviews ED2016 Theatre Reviews
Pale Imitations (AMLD Theatre Company)
By Andy Leask | Published on Saturday 20 August 2016
Love, success, art: these are big topics to grapple with in just 50 minutes. While the script touches on these themes, what really holds the play together are the complex relationships between the characters. All three actors deliver excellent performances, with Jerome Wise's Ramone a particular standout. Between them they convey a realistically 'lived in' chemistry in their characters' complex, often acrimonious relationships. I really bought into the ten-year history of these lives. Less successful, though, is the motif of art – visual, and musical – running through the play. It's a nice stylistic touch, but the attempts to marry it thematically to the plot don't quite work, giving the play the air of a sketch, rather than a finished masterpiece.

You're giving your bedroom a makeover—what's the first thing you do? You probably try to figure out how exactly to hang that colossal flat-screen TV directly across from your bed. Stop doing that! It's time to think outside the (idiot) box. Your space should be a sanctuary—a restful, cozy bedroom where you fall asleep after a long day and wake up fresh as a daisy in order to start a new one, and your bedroom walls deserve more than electronics. Even better, there are so many options of what to do with those walls, so you should apply the same care you used when you chose your bed, nightstands, bedding, lighting, and rug. (We know—some of those decisions took you 18 months. We're here to help make things move a little quicker!)

Saving Storm Damaged Hickory
A client asked us to recover the lumber in this hickory tree after it was blown over in a recent wind storm. This tree had some interesting bends in it towards the top so we had to buck the tree to get the most lumber out of it. Bucking is the process of cutting the tree into shorter logs.
Several of this clients trees were damaged in the storm and some cleanup work had already been done before we were asked to come out.
If your tree was damaged in a wind storm or needs to be taken down for other reasons, let us know first. We are ready to come out to you and turn your tree into lumber.

Colder: Volume 1 review January 30, 2017 – Posted in: Uncategorized – Tags: Reviews, Staff-Picks

When it came time to pick a comic book to review this week, I knew I wanted to touch on a genre I hadn't done yet.
When it comes to movies, I love psychological thrillers. The whole 'slasher' movie concept never really appealed to me.
I've just started to realise is that horror comics are pretty much all psychological thrillers. Obviously 'jump scares' don't work in the written format, so instead of watching a girl get murdered in a shower or a couple in bed (who are obviously not virgins) get sliced to bits, comics allow for the horror of the mind. The questioning of morals, right and wrong, real or fake, true or false can be extremely frightening.
Colder is a story of the insane.
When I picked the Horror genre and was looking for a good book, I couldn't take my eyes off of the Colder cover. It genuinely is frightening. The more you look at it, the more disturbing it gets. It was then that I made the quick decision that this would be the horror comic for me.
What is the premise? Declan Thomas is a man with a temperature so cold that he should be dead. He has the fascinating ability to cure people of insanity. The irony is thus far the only insanity he can't cure is his own. For five years he has been living with Reece Talbot, a nurse who volunteered for Declan to live with her so he can have constant care. For the last five years Declan has not said a word.
But now, to the surprise of Reece, he chooses to speak again. His reasons why is the premise of the story.
Insanity is such an interesting topic. What it is and how it affects people varies. Sure it's a common trope when it comes to horror. If done right, it can lead to insight together with a large dose of the creeps and that's what Colder pulls off.
The main antagonist is Nimble Jack. A spiritual being who hungers and prays on the insane. Where Declan cures insanity, Jack feeds on it. Often leaving a person worse for wears.
The appearance of Jack threw me off at first. He looks very much like recent iterations of the Joker. Right down to the thin body, long face and the evil grin. Even his personality is similar. Both have the 'insanity is fun" bravado and both have their favourite victim. Joker's is Batman and Jack's is Declan.
It's a horror comic, so expect some horrific imagery. Sadly nothing compares to the cover in pure shock and horror but there are a few moments where I said to myself "wow they are actually going there".
Everything is drawn beautifully. We are shown the "Hungry World" which is pretty much the world we know seen through the eyes of the insane. The colours are bland, buildings are older and more mysterious. It contains some truly unusual monsters, from giant killer dogs to one eyed business men. The artist, Juan knows what he is doing and what he is doing is brilliant. Some of the monsters looked like something between a Guillermo Del Toro film and a hollow from the anime Bleach. Even as grotesque as some of it can get, I couldn't help but marvel at the detail and ultra-realism shown.
Most of the horrors are on show when Nimble Jack takes center stage. He is the cause of the chaos and we get to his disturbed mind on show. As mentioned before, he loves to tease his food. Declan seems to be housing the biggest amount of insanity. Like a chef preparing a stew, Jack is willing to wait and make sure Declan's insanity is at its most pure before he goes in for the meal.
One of my favourite aspects of this volume was the 'romance' between Declan and Reece… if you can call it a romance. Reece has always cared for Declan but has only ever perceived him as a gentle silent man in need of constant care. When Declan reveals he can actually speak and has comprehended everything over time, it creates a complexity in their relationship and purity often with its comedic moments lighting up the comic.
One last thing I want to mention, is how well paced this comic book is. It never felt like it was holding onto things so as to prolong the story, even just being volume one, it's very self-contained.
If you're wanting to delve into something a little bit more frightening than your normal comic book series then give this a go. I want to read more and I'm sure you will too.

Over the years I've discovered that I actually do my best thinking when I'm riding my mountain bike or running in our trail system in the mountains overlooking Boise. It's really the only time I get each day for creative thinking and I've come to crave that time not just for physical fitness, but for my mental health. It's a rare day that I'm home when I don't spend time up there.

Somewhere on these forums I read it's easy to override code using childtheme_override statements that you just copy from the theme's functions.php and then adjust as needed.
That is what I tried with the below code and it doesn't work. For absolute beginners like myself who also are really stupid when it comes to scripting and programming, there should really be a more elaborate documentation IMMHO...
function childtheme_override_page_title() {
global $post;
$content = '';

Know the Google's Quality Criteria to Get a High Traffic
Tom has created a website to provide useful beauty tips to the people and sell the cosmetic products for the same but he is totally clueless on why he can't see any visitor on his website. He knows that his all the labor will go in vain and he won't be able to earn a single buck until he gets a good traffic of visitors on his website. But getting a high traffic isn't an easy task as he needs to invest a lot of time and energy to get it right. Along with posting unique and high quality content, he also needs to know the ins and outs of Links Management. If you are also looking for the ways to attract a high traffic on your blog or website, I and here to help you understand the Google's quality criteria.
Avoid Copied Content:
In order to attract a high traffic on your website, your website should top the results of the search engine and reflect as a top result on the SERP that means search engine result page. To provide a particular ranking to a particular website, Google has set some algorithms to follow. Content that is copied from other reputed or well ranked sites is a big 'NO' as it may harm the reputation of your site, instead of a gain. You should avoid copying the content from other sites and even if you have to do that, make sure that the content is not posted your site as it on some others site or sites. Modify the content in order to go with the taste of the readers of your site. Also, try to add fresh data, opinion and views to insure a high page ranking in Google.
High-Quality Backlinks:
Since the starting of the year, Google has turned its attention towards the guest-posting, it means now quality backlinks are very important. If you are making a guest-post or contextual link on a website to get backlink to your own site, Google wants to insure that visitors reading your post should get some helpful information deciding the worth of your website. If the backlinks made by you are useful and provide substantial value to the readers, then ranking of your site is sure to go up.
Syndicate Your Content:
Another way to get a high traffic is to syndicate your own content with the blogs that are well-read and the publishers that are well-known. If your content is informative and useful for readers, it will compel them visit your website through the backlink you leave on your content; resulting into a higher traffic on your website. However, if your site contains the content copied from other websites, your site may be labeled as a content copycat and also punished by the search engines, which may include a drop in the page ranking of your site or a life-time ban as well.
Run An Affiliate Program:
You can also run an affiliate program to attract a higher traffic on your blog or website. It's a very much acceptable way for Google but you should make sure that the affiliate sites don't contain the content and info just as your website. Affiliate programs are not only good for additional traffic but also bring some valuable backlinks which helps in getting organic ranks. Along with comments and product descriptions, if an original review is also posted by the blog owner, it greatly helps to convince the visitors as well as Googlebot, the search engine's own crawler.

Met her on the net, perfect girl for me, you bet. Pretty soon I got her first e-mail letter. "Hell blue eyes, long blond hair", I can't imagine any better. She wrote me she would be the one for me. And I wondered if she really felt the way I feel. I didn't care she still was far away, 'caus I would meet her on the web every day. We were so close, but still I couldn't catch her. Loved her the most, but still I couldn't touch her. She looked so real, but I could only watch her … on my screen. Then, one day I pressed the wrong key. Boy, this was very weird to see. My princess turned out to be a kinky, horny freak like me … just like me.

When it comes to food storage, the refrigerator is king. Thanks to fridges, an extensive assortment of perishables can be stored for long periods, thus saving households a considerable amount in grocery costs. It's important to note, however, that not all foods can comfortably be stored in refrigerators. Although countless food items are good candidates for refrigeration, this isn't true across the board. When considering what should be kept out of your fridge, keep the following foods in mind. Onions
Given that many different types of produce should be stored in refrigerators, not putting onions in the fridge is liable to strike some people as odd. While there's generally no harm in refrigerating onions for short periods, keeping them in the fridge for more than a few days is guaranteed to make them mushy and less flavorful. This is particularly true in the case of onions that have been cut. Furthermore, cut onions can engulf your entire fridge with a very strong smell. For best results, store your onions in an area that's dark and cool – but not outright cold. To learn more about which foods shouldn't be housed in your fridge, get in touch with your local Sub Zero repair service.
Like onions, garlic is best stored in a dark, cool place. If left in the fridge, cloves of garlic will begin to sprout, lose a great deal of their natural flavor and become rubbery in texture. As is the case with onions, garlic is very fragrant and can envelop your refrigerator in its powerful aroma. Anyone who doesn't want all the food in their fridge to taste and smell garlic-y would be wise to engage in proper garlic storage.
Olive Oil
Although many popular condiments can be refrigerated, olive oil is not among them. Olive oil is best stored in pantry cabinets and other dark areas. Putting it in the fridge will cause it to quickly harden, take on a very firm consistency and become inedible.
Contrary to popular belief, not every food item can safely be refrigerated. Although most types of food can – and should – be stored in refrigerators, this is not an ironclad rule. Anyone looking for storage solutions for the food items discussed above is urged to steer clear of refrigeration. Your refrigerator offers a safe haven for a wide variety of food, but onions, garlic and olive oil have no place within its walls.

I call these little bags, made from 100% leather, concert bags, because many concerts and stadium events will only allow you to have a bag no bigger than 4x6 inches...or carry a clear plastic bag.
Well then... you need a fun and stylish bag for your cell phone and cash or cards. So I created one.
These one of a kind bags are approximately 4x6 inches. No one else will ever have the same thing! They have a cross body strap or the option of removing the strap and clipping the bag to the belt loop or your jeans, for a totally hands free experience, leaving you with the freedom to thoroughly enjoy your event.
They are also perfect for anywhere that you just want to bring your phone without stuffing it in the back pocket of your pants. That's how phones get lost!
This one reminds you that "strong is beautiful" and a front tassle.

Andrew Kumra
The service from Vanarama was first class Much of that was down to their local representative Mark. I had read great reviews with respects to Mark from other happy customers but was somewhat sceptical has these days customer service even in the area of sales is pretty useless. However I have to say the reviews regarding Mark were spot on he couldn't do enough he was genuinely a pleasure to deal with and the communication was excellent. When you phoned him and raised questions he never once made you feel like you were bothering him. Any company would be very fortunate to have someone as helpful, and professional as Mark. With respects to the experience dealing with the company very good .

Christine Pickford
Everyone I dealt with from Mark Moore from original enquiry to finance staff etc were very very helpful cannot fault the customer service.
Edward Moody
From my first enquiry about the cost of leasing a van versus buying one, Mark dealt with all of my questions, queries and my general, this can't be a good deal, what's in it for you attitude. After about 10-12 phone conversation about vans and deals, throughout all of them I never felt any pressure, nor did I hear any sales rubbish, Mark was straight up and the best guy I've ever dealt with on the phone. Having always been a little closed off to leasing, he explained all the different ways and made it clear as day. We looked at a van and a deal, as I had made the decision that leasing was the best option for me. I chose the Ford transit custom, but it didn't go through smoothly on the financial side as I had a rough credit history as me and my other half had hammered my overdraft. So it came back with a big fat no. Anyone else would have just cut it short there and said 'I'm afraid there's no more ways to try this' not Mark, he tried many different options, kept pushing and then came back to me a couple of weeks later and said 'I've got you the deal mate'. At this point, I'd told myself I wasn't going to get the deal, so I was very happy when he called! Mark has been so good throughout and I've had nothing but the best customer service from Vanarama. I have recommended Vanarama to my friends.
Chris Pang
I couldn't fault the service from my Account Manager, Mark Moore. He was extremely helpful and easy to talk to, very friendly and always responded to calls or emails when contacted. If I decide to get another vehicle I hope I get to deal with Mark again.
Peter Stratton
Excellent service from the first phone call, through to delivery and beyond.
Roderick Mann
Dean Mason
Absolutely top class service! My accountant recommended you to me and I will have no hesitation doing the same to my friends.
Stephen Bradbrook
I have to say, as a novice in the field of contract hire/lease, your representative was so so helpful and explained every last detail. Whether it was day or night the service from Paul Burrows was exceptional. There was no pressure what so ever. Now moving on to admin and delivery team. What can I say but wow! Very very professional from start to finish. Kept me notified every step of the way. I can not fault the service you have provided. Your customer service is 5 star. The whole experience was painless, delivery was as promised, paper work was painless. I can not praise this company enough. Vanarama you have it just right. Excellent service. Thanks so much.
