While working on some programs dealing with multiple forms, I ran into an issue where I would end up with more than 1 instance of the same form being created. This came up when using a form as an MDI parent and then trying to open another form as a child to the parent form. When the child form would open, you could continue opening new instances of that same form while the one prior was still opened.
The code below will check to see if it already exists and if it doesn't assign the new form as a child to the mdi parent form and open it.
//Code that handles Child forms. May be adding more code to this down the road for customization.
//No need to write the same code for every form
private void CreateMDIChild(Form childForm)
//Checks if child form already exists. Only open if it does not exist in the collection
FormCollection allForms = Application.OpenForms;
bool formOpened = false; //Assume that this form does not already exist
foreach (Form frm in allForms)
if (frm.Name == childForm.Name)
//Tried to open form here however it throws an error about the collection being modified. So we create a bool and if the form exists
//set it to true
formOpened = true;
//As long as formOpened is false we can open the new form as a child form to the parent
if (formOpened == false)
childForm.MdiParent = this;
Using the method
private void loginRegisterToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
CreateMDIChild(new frm_LoginRegister());

It was surely bound to happen, as high technology has become so deeply intertwined in our personal and business lives, and now it has:
The digital world has reshaped how we manage and operate our organizations like never before, unleashing potent new possibilities while simultaneously posing major challenges that must be overcome.
It's a complex and unfolding story -- even more so because it's very much not driven by the resources or agenda of any one organization, technology, or interest group -- but rather a loosely connected, highly emergent, and interrelated global narrative as companies en masse grapple with how pervasive software and networks are enabling access to entirely new possibilities for value creation.
The ongoing transformation and perceived travails of organizations such as Zappos, which has taken what technology is showing us is now possible within corporations, and redesigned their well-known, market-leading company essentially from the ground up is now increasingly a real goal in a growing -- albeit still limited -- number of organizations. This includes success stories like industrial giant Bosch, which has re-engineering its top management practices around social technology.
While we've had widely available networked communications for over 20 years now, it wasn't until the last ten years or so that we had enterprise-ready tools that really unleashed what digital networks make possible: Mass workforce collaboration, crowdsourcing, open innovation, self-organizing business processes, the digital platforming of our businesses, distributed yet coordinated technology change agency, and the injection of power laws directly into our operations and business models, to name some of the more significant developments of the last decade.
But it was clearly the technology that came first, beginning in the 1990s, including wikis, blogs, online communities, enterprise social networks, unified communications, crowdsourcing platforms, and so on. Even then, it was surprising how long it took for the management thinking to develop around these advances to explain the fundamentals of why and how these new technology-enabled ways of working should function in our organizations, much less describe coherent new management practices that incorporated them.
Catching management theory up to the tech possibilities
In recent years, the air gap between leadership skills in the business world and the evolution of technology-enabled management theory has become apparent enough that The Economist recently declared the end of the management guru, whose expertise and ability to guide the industry stopped essentially a decade back, as modern management subject matter required real depth in technology.
To be clear, we're still in very early days of all of this even now, as the relevant technology -- particularly collaboration tools that allow organizations to enlist, align, and guide their workers in new and potent ways at scale -- continues to change and evolve faster than ever before.
It used to be that clearly important new workplace technologies would arrive with plenty of fanfare, but with very little guidance on how to apply it on the ground to improve how we work. But over the last few years we've seen a steady flow of new models that attempt to explain and enable how these technologies transform our work, and how we might realize them at a leadership level, all the way down to how individual workers in the business might activate their part of the business with them.
Going slow means falling behind fast, but few paths proven
We've even started to get a sense recently from a bottom-up level for what kind of digital literacy skills we have to foster in the contemporary worker to support the new digital workplace. But the lack of recognized and effective management methods that explain the theory, structures, and processes required to use today's digital tools to create richer, better outcomes has been a significant impediment to progress. Even now, we are not teaching new minted managers these ideas or skills.
Fortunately, we're seeing the end of that drought as a number of prominent and increasingly recognized bodies of thought emerge onto the scene. Some of them will be familiar, such as social business, which became quite prominent several years ago. Others are less well known, such as podularity, Wirearchy, and most recently Responsive Org, but are no less significant or less worthy of study. Perhaps most well known these days due to the attention in the press it is receiving is Holacracy, which even has its own digital support tools such as GlassFrog, specifically designed to better enable it within organization.
With these advances in thinking, new tools, and more effective lenses to look at how we can apply networked technology to business, we can begin to address the issue of adoption, which has often plagued digital advances such as enterprise social tools, particularly when they're poorly connected to the work of the business itself.
While the language of many of these new management theories is couched in individual expression and empowerment through the creation of vibrant and more engaging places to work -- and it's likely to be their primary legacy in my opinion -- our businesses have other concerns. Namely, this is how to connect these more powerful and richer ways of working to core business practices including operations, governance, hiring, budgeting, resource management, project management, and so on.
Bringing together the tech, management models, and business practices
I now believe we are near a watershed moment in bringing these three vital domains together as a consistent and effective whole: A combination of new workplace technologies and overarching modern management methods to leverage what makes the new technologies unique valuable and potent, all aimed together at a fundamental overhaul of our most important institutional practices down "to the metal."
Of course, when I say this is near, I mean that real digital business transition will take longer than we'd like, most likely the next 5-10 years for most of us to adapt to what today's technologies currently make possible. Of course, by then things will have changed considerably again. The good news is that I also genuinely believe we are starting to rethink the process of technological change and absorption as an industry to make it much more rapid and sustainable. If we can bring about a leap-forward in our business practices, matched by a better and faster way to adapt to technology change, then organizations can transform successfully, and stay current.
I will continue exploring these new groundbreaking management methods -- and the stories of companies that are working through how to update how they work on the ground -- in coming months. Please be sure to share your own stories with me as you are able.

Today looking good is paramount in fitting in and even in getting a job. People today judge you on the clothes you wear. It means you are also judged on how well you look in them. Therefore, it behooves you to always look you best not matter if it is at work, at the health clubs, parties, and other social events.
You never know whom you might meet. It could be a future career or it might be someone who you will start a lifelong relationship with.
That's why today, we are going show you how to get the most out of your clothing and one way to do that is with "Fitted Jeans."
This is because they not only look good. They make you look good as well. One final benefit they also while doing the above is they are comfortable to wear and they just have that "feel" along with their savoir-faire styling.
We are going to answer some questions and then give you a guide to some of the best, fitted Jeans on the market today that you can even buy online as well from Amazon.
When you are done with our guide you'll always know how to look right no matter where you are, what you are doing, and who you are with.
What Are Fitted Jeans?
Well, in a nutshell, fitted jeans are jeans that follow your body's natural curves and shape. If done properly, you can actually look 10 to 20 pounds lighter than you actually are.
This means sizing is everything and you should make sure of your waste by DOC and inseam size. It is also a good idea to measure your circumference around your thigh as well.
All this is taken into account when you're looking for the right genes that give you that right look. Once that's out of the way you need to take a look at whether you want a high waist, low waist, and whether you want to go with a flared bottom or close to the skin tight fitting at the ankle, which you can wear with a boot.
All of these are the things that equate to a properly fitting pair of jeans.
Best fitting jeans brands?
Now that you have some idea of what a fitted pair of jeans entails the time is now to look at the different makers and choose a brand name that offers you what you want and need.
You need to do this as the fact that many knockoffs and foreign brands are flooding the market with their version of what they think Blue Jeans ought to be.
For example, in China, there is a city of over 1 million souls. That's major occupation is creating blue jeans for the consumer market. Hundreds of small and large concerns are busily sewing, hemming, and making thousands of pairs of blue jeans a day.
They even simulate stonewashed by soaking their genes in acid and lye. In addition, with razor blades and electric shaver's they produce the grunge look that many of the young enjoy wearing today. However, by no means are these quality fitted jeans and they will probably last you only a season or two before you have to discard them and buy another pair.
What you want is fashion, fit, quality, and price?
To get all these things you need to look for names like Levi Strauss who invented the original blue jeans and some of the other brands you want to look for are:
- Diesel
- Wrangler
- Balmain
- Versace
- Lee Jeans
- Carhartt
- Calvin Klein
- Armani
- Nostrum
- Dickies
These brands offer you the best when it comes to getting a pair of jeans that are form fitting and make you look and feel like a million bucks.
Types of jeans?
There are many types of jeans out there on the market today. Many of them go with a number code such as "Type 255." Other companies go with a letter designation such as "Type J".
Other companies use a catchy name along with either a number code or letter designation.
This all sounds very confusing as in reality no one's ever been able to figure out exactly how this arcane naming scheme works or how it came about.
For us, we're going to use brand-name and in the accompanying guide you will be able to get a visual picture of the particular type of jeans and from there you can decide what will look best on you, make you feel comfortable. Be suitable for the type of activity you're going to be wearing them for. Finally, in a price range that fits your budget.
In Addition…
You will also hear terms referring to Jeans as stone washed, acid washed, relaxed, and broken in. This all has to do with the processing that the fabric undergoes to soften it, make them more comfortable, and seem worn.
Frayed cuffs, holes, and knife cuts across the thighs and artistic rips are also made in the fabric to simulate wear and heavy use.
In fact, some stores have made a killing selling "Antique" Jeans as well.
These pants originally were manufactured in the 60s and 70s and now have made a comeback, as this is how rugged and durable the original denim pants are.
Where can I you buy Best Fitting Jean?
With all these choices and on one website. We counted over 54 separate companies that provide fitted jeans. Now with, Tao Boa entering the fray. The vast Chinese manufacturing machine of which clothing is a major component has also reached the American Internet markets.
It can become frustrating and confusing to find a properly fitted pair of jeans.
This is why we've gone to the trouble to put together this guide, and in it, you will find the right pair of fitted jeans at a price that will make you smile as well.
This is why we're going with an online vendor that you should be very familiar with and offers you a fantastic selection not only at a good price, but they will deliver right to your doorstep. This is vendor, of course, is Amazon, the largest free market in the world. This is a place where you can buy anything from a surplus submarine to a Russian fighter jet. However, today we are going to restrict our sights to finding the best, fitted pair of jeans possible for men and save the ladies for another time.
What Are the Advantages of jeans?
Some people want to know what the hoopla is all about. Well, along in the short of it is mostly because of style. Ever since the 60s, Levi's jeans have symbolized quality, durability, and rebellion against the status quo.
Nowadays, they have taken on a more sophisticated look and have become mainstream. They have lost none of their durability and quality. However, they have expanded in range for color, style and what we're looking for most comfortable and perfect fit.
There are a plethora of styles and any color you could possibly imagine. They can make a man look and feel like a man. This is actually, one of the main selling points for Levi's and the other brands as the commercials often show men from Cowboys, construction, and even businessmen all wearing them with equal aplomb.
The advantage to you is that you are in fashion; you're wearing a look that is mainstream and accepted from boardrooms to being a barista in an upscale coffee shop. If you look at Steve Jobs image, fitted pants were his trademark. They can be yours too.
Things You Need to Know Before Buying a pair of fitted jeans
Buying a pair of fitted jeans online or anywhere else for that matter boils down to some simple guidelines:
Fit that complements your body's silhouette.
A style that fits with the environment, you'll be in either at work in an office, outdoors, and with the circle of friends, you are keeping
That complements your skin tones as well as your lifestyle. There are many style guides out there available that can help you do this
However, men choose earth-toned colors in many cases that fit with the motif of being a man today
Choose a leg length or inseam that matches whether you're going to be wearing boots, half boots, dress shoes, and sport shoes
If you look today at the fashion trendsetters, you'll see $5000 Armani suits, along with a pair of Nike's.
So you need to pick and inseam that won't drag on the ground or make you look like you're waiting for the next deluge
Guide to Finding the Perfect Pair of jeans For Men
Now are getting to the meat of this guide where you'll be able to see many of the most popular brands of fitted jeans available on the market today and from these and their associated pictures you can wade through the minutia of trying to remember style names, type designators, and fancy naming schemes.
You'll be able to look for yourself and your eye is probably a better judge than any written words can describe. However, if you still have a problem finding something that looks good on you. Just ask a female coworker or personal friend for their advice and opinion. In this way, you get to get a second opinion on what looks good on you and for you.
Now with no further ado let's take a look at 10 of the best, fitted jeans that you can find on the Net today.

"Hey, toss me that engine, will ya?"
Gas Gas is a thirteen-year-old Spanish company known for its two-stroke trials and enduro machines.
Like everyone else these days, Gas Gas is going into the thumper business. In development for approximately two years, the Gas Gas four-stroke, off-road machine (to be available in both 400cc and 250cc displacements) promises to be very lightweight and very high tech (sound familiar?). These pictures of the Gas Gas 400cc prototype machine and engine illustrate this theme. Indeed, the engine looks extremely compact, and, unless that is Hercules in the picture, extremely light.
God help us if every manufacturer in the Universe has gone thumper crazy!

2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze: problems, fuel economy, driving experience, photos
The Chevrolet Cruze is a global car, designed by an international engineering team and sold in 115 countries. Stylish and roomy, the Cruze was a big step up from the previous GM budget compacts, the Cavalier and the Cobalt.
2012 Chevrolet Cruze.
Compared to many other compact cars, the Cruze is heavier and offers a more solid feel. It's also one of the safest compact cars. That's good, but is it reliable? What are the common problems?
Chevrolet Cruze problems: A faulty PCV diaphragm in the valve cover and missing air check valve in the intake manifold can cause various problems with the 1.4L turbo engine, including excessive oil consumption, blue smoke from the exhaust, rough idle and Check Engine light. The computer scan may reveal codes P0171, P0106, P1101 and others. The repair might involve replacing the intake manifold and/or valve cover (camshaft cover). The dealer may charge you up to $900 to replace the intake manifold, valve cover and related parts. Google 'S
ervice Bulletin PIP5197J' for more info. The bulletin is dated October 2018. This forum has some info.
The PCV pipe can go bad too, causing similar issues and the code P1101.
A leaking water pump can cause overheating and the A/C to stop working in the 1.4L engine. According to the GM service bulletin 14371A dated January 2015 for the 2011-2014 Chevrolet Cruze with the 1.4L engine, the warranty coverage for this issue has been extended to 10 years or 150,000 miles (240,000 km), whichever occurs first. The bulletin advises replacing a water pump if it's leaking. If out of warranty, the water pump replacement may cost from $480 to $620.
Oil leaks from the engine and transmission seals and cooler lines are common.
2012 Chevrolet Cruze.
The thermostat housing may need to be replaced because of a coolant leak.
Ignition coils may fail, causing misfiring.
There have been complaints about transmission failures in early models.
The trunk release switch in the trunk can stop working. The repair is not very expensive: replace the switch.
According to GM service bulletin 14311B for the 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze, many electrical problems can be caused by a loose negative battery cable. Problems include the display turning off and on, Antilock Brake System, Service Traction System, Service and Steering vehicle messages, etc. The bulletin extends the coverage for this problem. Dealers will replace the battery negative cable.
Engine and Transmission: The base LS model comes with a 138-hp 1.8L engine while the LT, 2LT, ECO and LTZ offer a turbocharged 1.4L motor.
For the 2014 and 2015 model years, the 151-hp turbodiesel was added to the 2.0TD and DIESEL trims.
A 6-speed manual transmission is available in LS, LT and ECO trims. The most common model in the U.S. is the 1.4-turbo LT with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Read also: Pros and cons of buying a car with a turbocharger
Fuel Economy: The Cruze diesel gets 27 mpg city and 44 mpg highway, which would make it a great commuter car. The LS 1.8L auto is rated at 24/35 mpg city/highway. The most popular Cruze LT with 1.4L turbo and auto transmission gets 26 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, or about 500 miles (800 km) to a tank.
Timing belt or Timing chain: The Diesel and 1.8L engine have a timing belt. According to the 2015 owner's manual, for the 1.8L and 2.0L diesel engines, the timing belt, along with the idler pulley and timing belt tensioner (plus the water pump in the diesel engine) must be replaced at 97,500 miles or 156,000 km.
The 1.4L turbo engine has a timing chain that requires no maintenance during the life of the engine, according to GM.
Features: The USB port was optional in 2011, 2012; standard from 2013. Cruise control is not available in LS, standard in all other trims from 2012. Bluetooth connectivity was optional in 2011, standard in all models except LS in 2012, standard in all trims from 2013. Only the LTZ trim comes with 18" alloy wheels. The spare tire and the jack were optional in 2011 Cruze and were not available in some ECO models. If this feature is important to you, make sure the car you want to buy is equipped with a spare tire and jack.
Handling and ride: The Cruze offers a solid quiet ride and responsive handling. The 1.8L engine is peppy and quick off the line. The 1.4L turbo is surprisingly smooth.
Reliability: As of December 2019, Consumer Reports rates the 2011-2015 Cruze as 'worse than average' for reliability. Some of the problems were addressed by warranty campaigns and recalls.
The Cruze 1.8L engine is less troublesome than the 1.4L turbo. More reliable compact cars include Toyota Prius, Corolla, Mazda 3, and Honda Civic.
How do I get the best deal on a used car?
What you should know before buying a used car
What mileage is OK for a used car?
Pros: Safety ratings, roomy, well-designed interior, compliant ride, large trunk, available diesel engine.
Cons: Seat fabric could be better, reliability, the cruise control is not standard.
Overall: The Cruze is one of the safest compact cars, and it offers a comfortable quiet ride. The reliability is questionable, especially in early models. The 2011-2013 Cruze received the most complaints while the 2014 and 2015 model years fared better. To be fair, we also came across many owner reviews that were happy with the car. NHTSA awarded all model years of the first-generation 2011-2015 Chevy Cruze with a 5-star overall crash test rating.
Similar cars:
What to look for when buying a used Chevrolet Cruze: The Cruze was popular with rental car companies; check the history records to see if the car was used as a rental vehicle. Many owners mentioned coolant, oil and transmission leaks, so we would suggest having the vehicle of your choice inspected for leaks and other problems. One of the symptoms of coolant leaks is low coolant level in the coolant bottle, and a coolant smell under the hood. During the test drive watch out for the coolant temperature gauge showing signs of overheating. Overheating the engine can cause many problems. Issues with the thermostat and PCV system are often mentioned as the reason for the Check Engine light coming on. The white smoke from the exhaust, lack of boost and whining noise coming from the front of the engine, could indicate a problem with a turbocharger.
Maintenance tips: The turbocharged engine is very sensitive to lack of maintenance; have the oil changed regularly. According to the 2013 Cruze owner's manual, the recommended oil grade is SAE 5W-30, Synthetic Blend.
A leaking water pump is mentioned often; keep an eye on the coolant level and watch out for coolant smell under the hood and signs of overheating.
Old spark plugs can cause the engine to misfire and the Check Engine light to come on. Have the spark plugs replaced at or before recommended intervals. The owner's manual for the 2015 Cruze recommends replacing spark plugs in the 1.4L engine at 60K miles for severe conditions and 97K miles for normal conditions.

In addition, the right click function didn't work on those applications which didn't have the regular cursor. I upgraded to the new driver and had the same problem. Additionally, the mouse quit working completely with the latest driver. The mouse showed up, but wouldn't move. Completely worthless. I reinstalled the previous driver so I could use the mouse. After cumulative updates on Windows, I retried 35-3 today with the same result, still no mouse function. Anyone else have this or similar problems? Any suggestions?

Millennialize the Mainframe: Ending the Skills Shortage
Premed, engineering, forest ecology—these typically aren't the steps one takes in college to become a mainframe software developer, but somehow that's where they led Noah Al-Armanazi.
After experimenting with various degree tracks, he took a job in network security, prompting him to major in Computer Science. But after learning some Assembler language and graduating, working in the distributed environment had lost its luster.
"The little bit of Assembler I did at the beginning of college was attractive to me because it was a different thing from all of the normal distributed stuff," Al-Armanazi said.
His knowledge of Assembler, though limited, made the mainframe an alluring alternative to network security, so he applied for a developer position at Compuware. Ironically, Assembler became his biggest fear about working on the mainframe.
"It was one of the things that kind of scared me," Al-Armanazi said. "It was the one big barrier for me."
Despite Al-Armanazi's unfamiliarity with the mainframe, Compuware recognized his determination to work on the platform, and after hiring him they accommodated his learning needs.
"That's what blew my mind completely," Al-Armanazi said, "the fact that they're going to take three months at the beginning and just train you in everything you need to know."
Millennials as Stewards of the Mainframe
Compuware is passionate about hiring and educating Millennials like Al-Armanazi to become the next stewards of the mainframe. But research shows 4 in 10 CIOs don't have a plan for ending the mainframe skills shortage at their organization.
"From my experience the mainframe skills shortage seems like it's a major thing," Al-Armanazi said. "Throughout all of my college career, anytime that anyone even brought up the mainframe you were laughed out of the room almost. I had professors tell me Assembler was a dead skill."
Al-Armanazi's experience in college highlights persistent apathy towards the mainframe, despite its importance as the backbone of the digital economy. A difference of opinions places the platform in a unique position between innovation and indifference. Compuware is taking the innovative approach to mainstream the mainframe by including it in Agile/DevOps processes. Equipping non-mainframe developers with modernized and familiar tools is essential.
"I see the mainframe as a platform in kind of this weird transition phase," Al-Armanazi said, "and with Compuware pushing to have Eclipse-based tools, it's time for the younger generation to jump in, mainstream the mainframe."
Eclipse-based tools like Compuware's Topaz are making it easier for Al-Armanazi and other Millennials to understand esoteric mainframe knowledge from retiring colleagues.
"If I'm unsure of how a section of code works but someone points me in the right direction, I bring it up in Topaz and try and recreate what they were showing me, try to make it as familiar and easy for me to change things as possible," Al-Armanazi said.
Mentorship by Mainframe Experts
Mentorship by mainframe experts has accelerated Al-Armanazi's growth. His most formative experience was working alongside Compuware mainframe expert Judy Lenzotti on the team that built Compuware's groundbreaking visualization solution, Runtime Visualizer, in a mere 84 days.
"I basically just hovered over Judy's shoulder for 90 percent of the time," Al-Armanazi said, "just watching her, having her talk me through what she's doing as she's doing it."
The knowledge Lenzotti shared with Al-Armanazi was foundational for his understanding of the mainframe and what can be done to modernize it. Instances like this showcase how knowledge and innovation of the mainframe are shifting from one generation to the next.
"Everybody just looks out for you, tries to find something to help you build on what you already have," Al-Armanazi said.
Critics claim new platforms should replace the mainframe and reject the urgency for Millennials to become the stewards of the mainframe through garnering knowledge from experts like Lenzotti. But Al-Armanazi and other millennials at Compuware disagree with critics.
"To replace it would take more than twice the amount of effort than to just continue working with it," Al-Armanazi said. "It's a challenge for sure, because of the whole generational gap, where the mainframe just stopped being taught in schools. But we're bringing this forward so that we don't have this mainframe skills shortage anymore."
It's undeniable: Compuware is on track to mainstreaming the mainframe and building up a generation of Millennial developers to curtail the mainframe skills shortage.

Civilization: The West and the Rest by Niall Ferguson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I question the purpose of the book. Go ahead and try to demarcate on the world map, what the west looks to you versus east. It'll be a pretty crazy map if you tried to follow this book. Most likely it will be the great British empire on one side and maybe the US and everyone else on the other.
Throughout the book the author cherry picked historical facts to prove a point he was trying to make. Civilization did not start in the 15th century and neither did innovation start then. The Chinese invented Gunpowder. The Mongols were not barbarians, they were the greatest & smartest warriors as were the Huns and Tartars. There is a lot of facts the author needs to learn and interpretation of facts is certainly not this author's forte. Niall Ferguson is British and perhaps he has been reading too much Rudyard Kipling….
Oh, East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat.
Well that is just not true, You can sit on your high horse and say that but the east and west has been meeting for ever, in Greece, Egypt, ancient Persia, India…… Learn your history and in case you want to learn it from this author, take it with a grain of salt.

There are thousands of 'miracle' diet pills and supplements out there marketed to help you get to your ideal weight in a matter of weeks. Would you know which one to choose?
Phen375 is one of the most popular dietary supplements on the market right now: it's designed to suppress your hunger, increase your metabolism, and help you to lose weight.
After hearing all the buzz about Phen375, we had plenty of questions:
Well, the short is answer... Is Yes.
Table of Contents
Phen375 was developed in 2009 as an alternative to the prescription-only appetite suppressant medication Phentermine, and is a trademark of Shippitsa Ltd. It comes in tablet form and is sold in bottles of 30 tablets.
There has been much controversy about Phentermine since it was first created in 1959, because the drug is responsible for causing heart valve damage.
Phen375 was created as a safe diet alternative to Phentermine by increasing your metabolism and helping to suppress your appetite without putting strain on your heart. It will ramp up your body's capacity to burn fat, without any of the previously dangerous side effects.
Alongside a healthy exercise program, one of the best ways for you to lose weight is to reduce the number of calories that you eat. Managing your diet can be tough. The secret to Phen375 is that it makes you want to eat less PLUS it helps you burn off the food you do eat more quickly.
It doesn't just reduce your weight by reducing your appetite: it also increases your energy levels, allowing you to burn off more fat by leading a more active lifestyle.
Phen375 contains a number of ingredients that combine to help you lose weight, including:
Caffeine Powder Anhydrous – this helps to reduce your cravings for food
Dendrobium Nobile Extract – this improves your digestive system
Citrus Aurantium – this increases your body's fat mobilization and metabolism
Cayenne Pepper – this raises your body temperature, allowing you to burn more calories
However, depending on whether you live in the US or the EU, the exact composition of Phen375 will be slightly different.
List of ingredients for Phen375 sold in the EU:
Coleus Forskolii Root PE (10% Forskolin) is a herb that has been used in Ayurveda: a type of medicine that originates from India and which is based on taking herbs orally. Ayurveda has been likened to traditional Chinese medicine, which is based on berries, herbs, and fungi. It helps you to reduce weight by improving your body's metabolism and fat burning capability.
Dendrobium Nobile Extract (from orchids) has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of years. It is a stimulant that helps you to lose weight, by improving your body's ability to burn calories while you exercise.
In order for Phen375 to be successful, you need to balance taking your two diet pills a day with a healthy diet. The owners of Phen375 have created a recommended diet to help make sure you are eating foods that will help you to maximise your weight loss.
Among the foods recommended to eat while you take Phen375 are:
Alongside these recommended foods, there are also a series of specific Phen375 diet plans which have been created to help you with your weight loss. These are designed for men, women, vegetarians, and anyone looking to get rid of cellulite:
After scouring through articles, reading reviews, and getting firsthand information on Phen375, we think that this is a brilliant dietary supplement. If you take it alongside an ordered exercise regime and healthy diet then you'll noticeably lose weight in just weeks. But that's not the only thing we like about Phen375....
There have been horror stories about so many weight loss tablets and dietary supplements that the first thing we he first thing we needed to know whether this one was safe and effective? The answer is yes.
It's received sign-off from a range of highly regarded health sources and is approved for use by both the US and EU. Not only that, Phen375 has received positive feedback from a huge number of people who have used it and seen their weight drop off.
Many treatments, medications, regimes, and programs that offer quick results can play fast and loose with the term 'quick' – some popular methods of losing weights have slow or sketchy results, making them a costly way of shedding little to no fat.
However, there are scores of customers who have used Phen375 and seen near instant effects that have resulted in them losing significant amounts of weight. Countless testimonials talk of how they lost 7lb or more within weeks of taking Phen375, and others have described it as having worked wonders for them.
You know that there's no magic pill you can take that will take you to your ideal weight without putting in the hard graft: if you want to burn fat and get fit and slim, you also need an exercise program that works.
The exercise plans published by the makers of Phen375 are diverse and of varying intensity, and can be easily introduced to your everyday life. This means that the chances of you sticking to your program are higher than with many other diets. The fact that these programs are specifically designed to work in harmony with Phen375 makes reaching your weight loss target even more feasible.
Some extremely effective weight loss medication is available only through prescription. While this is right and proper (you should NEVER take prescription medication without having received approval from a registered health professional), lots of people can find the process of seeking help from their GP stressful and embarrassing. This means that there is a significant number people who want to lose weight who don't get the help they need.
Phen375 is a non-prescription weight loss medication that is available from a wide range of sources online, including some of the biggest and most reputable sites on the web. You can also buy the diet pills from the official Phen375 website.
Getting motivated to start your exercise regime can leave you feeling tired before you've set foot on a treadmill, placed a hand on a dumbbell, or sat down on your exercise bike. A helping hand really can push you that bit further, and if you don't have an exercise buddy to provide this then you might just stay sat on your coach. Not so with Phen375.
The tablets provide you with an energy charge that lasts for hours, rather than minutes, filling your body with the motivation that you need to start your exercise regime. So not only does Phen375 help to suppress your appetite, it also removes a lot of the stress that you might feel when trying to get your exercise regime going.
Though there's so much that we like about Phen375, our feedback isn't all positive – but let's be honest, even your favorite film has some parts that you would change about it. So what weren't we so keen on?
Among the many other ingredients that make up Phen375, the tablets contains caffeine. You and I know all too well that if you drink a cup of tea or coffee before bedtime then it might play havoc with your sleeping, and taking Phen375 before you head for bed is no different.
Everyone loves a bargain, including us. But your love of getting something on the cheap doesn't blind you to the fact that you often have to stump up the cash if you want something you're going to be happy with.
At about $50 for a bottle of 30 diet pills Phen375 is certainly not the cheapest weight loss medication on the market. However, if you want a weight loss tablet that has helped people to lose half a stone in half a month then Phen375 is what you want – just don't expect to find it in a bargain basement!
Earlier we explained that if you take Phen375 alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise regime that you will lose half a stone or more.
These weren't our words: they were the testimonials of real people who wanted to lose weight – people like you. Just check out what they said...
While the most you can ask from weight loss programs, tablets, or medication is that they give you the figure you'd always dreamed of, the least you can expect is that they provide noticeable results.
Phen375 isn't the cheapest weight loss medication on the market, but it's one that offers multiple benefits.
We would recommend Phen375 to anyone who is hoping to lose weight, so long as you're willing to put in the effort alongside taking the tablets and abide by a healthy diet and regular exercise regime.

Ibrahim Magu, the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday revealed those he found difficult investigating on assumption of office.
Magu disclosed that he found it difficult investigating some, "senior journalists and media owners" who were allegedly involved in the sharing of the funds meant for the fight against insurgency in the North East.
The acting Chairman of EFCC said this at the 68th General Assembly of the Broadcasting Organization of Nigeria, BON, in Abuja which was monitored by DAILY POST.
Magu noted that journalists should be partners with security in the fight against corruption.
According to Magu, Media practitioners who should help expose corruption have taken to the vice, in a bid to satisfy some of their alleged paymasters.
He said, "Corruption has made Nigeria a laughing stock among committee of nations. We have never been in doubt that checking corruption is the part way to escape from poverty in the country, this is the reason why successive administration made the fight against corruption a priority.
"The success has been mixed, some of us are blaming past administrations for lacking the will to tackle corruption, I believe that we also share in the blame. As citizens and professionals, we have roles to play. The question is how effective have we played our roles?
"As media practitioners, how effective have we being in helping to fight corruption, the media occupy a unique place in the fight against corruption and impunity in Nigeria. As the fourth estate of realm, the media is the only profession that is constitutionally mandated to hold the nation's leaders to account, but how has the media fared well in the discharge of this sacred mandate?
"The media has been in the vanguard of the liberation of democracy from the shackles of military dictatorship, but since the return to democracy in 1999, the experience as an observer, has been mixed, we have seen flashes of courageous reporting that have straightened our public accountability.
"Let the truth be told, there is no way law enforcement agencies can know about all cases of graft in the society. Journalists as investigators in their own right are supposed to help in exposing corruption and other societal ills, wherever they exist.
"Unfortunately, this is one area we have challenges, media practitioners that are supposed to help fight corruption have been swapped into malpractice.
"Once of the difficult tasks I faced soon after I took over as acting Chairman of the EFCC was having to investigate senior journalists and media owners that partook in the monies meant for sharing of arms to fight insurgency in the North East.
"It was shocking that even those arraigned in court still feel they have done nothing wrong, it is difficult to understand the disposition of many practitioners who are comfortable helping the corrupt to undermine the fight against corruption by attacking anti-corruption agencies.
"I'm not against critical review of anti-corruption fight if such arguments are based on facts. Journalists are supposed to be investigators like us by training but investigative reporting is less fancied these days as media practitioners pursue bread and butter issues.
"Journalists and journalism have been hijacked by those who have the means and sometimes they do stories to satisfy the needs of their paymasters."

Safeguarding Your Church
by Amanda Hallemeier, Accounting Clerk
I recently attended a luncheon, "Technology in the Church." The luncheon was an amazing opportunity to get to know our clients and gauge their needs. Churches are using social media, websites, and are in the world of IT as much as the Fortune 500 companies of today.
In "Safeguarding Your Church," the presentation that impressed me most, speaker Melody Parlett from Enable Ministry Partners began the conversation by asking everyone if they had heard of the latest Ransomware attack "WannaCry." To those unfamiliar with Ransomware, it allows hackers to kidnap your personal data and encrypt it. This happens through email attachments, infected websites, etc. Your data is then held hostage until you pay the ransom for the encryption key.
One threat that Melody mentioned shocked me. Apathy! Apathy is, "Do nothing and hope for the best," or "I'll get to that when I have extra time or budget." IT security cannot be achieved by IT professionals alone. One needs only to look at the 90/10 rule. 10% of security safeguards rely on technology and 90% of security safeguards rely on the user. As a business leader, one must set the tone for your employees in building a security conscious culture. Open communication with staff is a major priority. Your staff needs to know how easily the information they retrieve, process, and export can be compromised.
Melody also addressed "Network Vulnerability." When you evaluate the equipment and computer systems in your network, that are used at your church or foundation, how many of these systems are outdated? Old security programs can lead you to new problems. While maintaining your network, keeping all software and hardware current, it is not always safe against new malware. How often your organization preforms a backup determines how quickly your organization can be up and running again after a threat. It is always recommended to keep a backup not only in the Cloud but also on site.
The last threat discussed is "Social Engineering." The term Social Engineering can be misleading, it may sound like you need a Master's degree or have a million followers on Twitter, but Social Engineering is much easier and needs no degree. Social Engineering is when scammers use social interactions to steal data or gain unauthorized access to your accounts. Those unaccustomed to social media are the biggest threat in this type of scam. These scammers will exploit familiarity, sympathy, and your desire to be helpful to get your information. Make sure that your staff is trained to spot these types of hacks. Emails that look like they come from within the organization, asking for money or personal information without a verification, should always be regarded as suspicious. Team members should also be on guard if an unfamiliar IT representative requests employee login information. Keep your employees knowledgeable about who their IT representatives are and the best way to communicate with them. The best practice is a safe practice and continually educating your team on how best to prevent these types of digital threats.

I dident like this story so much because it was only about horses and it was boring
The Wooden Horse
By Johnny Gruelle
Santa Claus left a whole lot of toys.
A wooden horse, covered with cotton and touched lightly with a paint brush dipped in black paint to give him a dappled gray appearance, was one of the presents.
With the wooden horse came a beautiful red wagon with four yellow wheels. My! The paint was pretty and shiny.
The wooden horse was hitched to the wagon with a leather harness; and he, himself, stood proudly on a red base running on four little wheels.
It was true that the wooden horse's eyes were as far apart as a camel's and made him look quite like one when viewed from in front, but he had soft leather ears and a silky mane and tail.
He was nice to look at, was the wooden horse. All the dolls patted him and smoothed his silky mane and felt his shiny leather harness the first night they were alone with him in the nursery.
The wooden horse had a funny voice; the dolls could hardly understand him at first, but when his shyness wore off, he talked quite plainly.
"It is the first time I have ever tried to talk," he explained when he got to know them, "and I guess I was talking down in my stomach instead of my head!"
"You will like it here in the nursery very much!" said Raggedy Andy. "We have such fun times and love each other so much I know you will enjoy your new home!"
"I am sure I will!" the wooden horse answered. "Where I came from, we—the other horses and myself—just stood silently on the shelves and looked and looked straight ahead, and never so much as moved our tails."
"See if you can move your tail now!" Henny, the Dutch doll, suggested.
The wooden horse started to roll across the nursery floor and if Raggedy Ann had not been in the way, he might have bumped into the wall. As it was, the wooden horse rolled against Raggedy Ann and upset her but could go no further when his wheels ran against her rag foot.
When the wooden horse upset Raggedy Ann, he stood still until Uncle Clem and Henny and Raggedy Andy lifted him off Raggedy Ann's feet. "Did I move my tail?" he asked when Raggedy Ann stood up and smoothed her apron.
"Try it again!" said Raggedy Ann. "I couldn't see!" She laughed her cheery rag doll laugh, for Raggedy Ann, no matter what happened, never lost her temper.
The wooden horse started rolling backward at this and knocked Henny over upon his back, causing him to cry "Mama!" in his squeaky voice.
Uncle Clem, Raggedy Ann, and the tin soldier all held to the wooden horse and managed to stop him just as he was backing out of the nursery door towards the head of the stairs.
Then the dolls pulled the wooden horse back to the center of the room. "It's funny" he said, "that I start moving backward or forward when I try to move my tail!"
"I believe it is because you have stood so long upon the shelf without moving," Raggedy Andy suggested. "Suppose you try moving forward!"
Uncle Clem, who was standing in front of the wooden horse, jumped to one side so hastily his feet slipped out from under him, just as if he had been sliding upon slippery ice.
The wooden horse did not start moving forward as Uncle Clem had expected; instead, his silky tail moved up over his back.
"Whee! There, you moved your tail!" cried all the dolls as joyfully as if the wooden horse had done something truly wonderful.
"It's easy now!" said the wooden horse. "When I wish to go forward or backward I'll try to move my tail and then I'll roll along on my shiny wheels; then when I wish to move my tail I'll try to roll forward or backward, like this!" But instead of rolling forward, the wooden horse moved his tail. "I wanted to move my tail then!" he said in surprise. "Now I'll roll forward!" And sure enough, the wooden horse rolled across the nursery floor.
When he started rolling upon his shiny wheels, Raggedy Andy cried, "All aboard!" and, taking a short run, he leaped upon the wooden horse's back. Uncle Clem, Raggedy Ann, Henny, the Dutch doll and Susan, the doll without a head, all scrambled up into the pretty red wagon.
The wooden horse thought this was great fun and round and round the nursery he circled. His shiny wheels and the pretty yellow wheels of the red wagon creaked so loudly none of the dolls heard the cries of the tiny penny dolls who were too small to climb aboard. Finally, as the wagon load of dolls passed the penny dolls, Raggedy Andy noticed the two little midgets standing together and missing the fun; so, leaning 'way over to one side as the horse swept by them, Raggedy Andy caught both the penny dolls in his strong rag arms and lifted them to a seat upon the broad back of the wooden horse.
"Hooray!" cried all the dolls when they saw Raggedy Andy's feat. "It was just like a Wild West Show!"
"We must all have all the fun we can together!" said Raggedy Andy.
"Good for you!" cried Uncle Clem. "The more fun we can give each other, the more fun each one of us will have!"
The wooden horse made the circle of the nursery a great many times, for it pleased him very much to hear the happy laughter of the dolls and he thought to himself, "How happy I will be, living with such a fun crowd."
But just as he was about to pass the door, there was a noise upon the stairs and the wooden horse, hearing it, stopped so suddenly Raggedy Andy and the penny dolls went clear over his head and the dolls in the front of the wagon took Raggedy Andy's seat upon the horse's back.
They lay just as they fell, for they did not wish anyone to suspect that they could move or talk.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! I knew you were having a lot of fun!" cried a cheery voice.
At this, all the dolls immediately scrambled back into their former places, for they recognized the voice of the French doll.
But what was their surprise to see her dressed in a lovely fairy costume, her lovely curls flying out behind, as she ran towards them.
Raggedy Andy was just about to climb upon the horse's back again when the French doll leaped there herself and, balancing lightly upon one foot, stood in this position while the wooden horse rolled around the nursery as fast as he could go.
Raggedy Andy and the two penny dolls ran after the wagon and, with the assistance of Uncle Clem and Raggedy Ann, climbed up in back.
When the wooden horse finally stopped the dolls all said, "This is the most fun we have had for a long time!"
The wooden horse, a thrill of happiness running through his wooden body, cried, "It is the most fun I have ever had!"
And the dolls, while they did not tell him so, knew that he had had the most fun because he had given them the most pleasure.
For, as you must surely know, they who are the most unselfish are the ones who gain the greatest joy; because they give happiness to others.- Total nr. of readings: 3,868 Copyright © The author [2020] All Rights Reserved.

I didn't like reading this to my six year old…the wording seemed improper and it was a silly sounding story. I only liked the last sentence!↓

The US has been able to survive the mounting claims of foreigners against US GDP because the US dollar is the reserve currency. However, the large US budget and trade deficits will put pressures on the dollar that will become too extreme for the dollar to be able to sustain this role. When the dollar fails, the US population will be impoverished.

The nation's capital can be a good place to take your nursing career to the next level. As a hub of political activity and health care legislation, the rest of the country looks to Washington D.C. as a model for health care. Whether you want to study advanced practice nursing, nursing leadership, or nurse education, there may be a Master's program in nursing for you in Washington D.C. Take some time to peruse the schools and programs, then contact those that you are interested in for more information.
To complete a Master's in Nursing, you should plan on earning between 35 and 55 credits. Programs that are based in clinical practice tend to require more credits than programs based in leadership or education. Many Washington D.C. programs are very flexible, allowing you to attend full-time or part-time as it suits your work schedule.
While the majority of your curriculum will likely focus on your chosen specialty, you must first build a foundation of nursing information with courses like Health Policy and Political Processes, Health Technology, and Concepts in Population Health. Nursing leadership and management programs may include classes like Health Informatics & Technology, Health Finance, and Leadership Coaching. To become a nurse practitioner, plan on taking courses like Genetics for Healthcare Providers, Advanced Physiology, and Lifespan Primary Care. Courses like Curriculum Development and Student Assessment may make up a nursing education degree.
In the District of Columbia, there are number of nursing scholarships that you may be able to use to cover your educational costs. The Black Nurses Association of Greater Washington D.C. awards the Felicia C. Brady Memorial Scholarship. On a nationwide basis, you can look into the NURSE Corps Scholarship Program.
If you are ready to earn your MSN, Washington D.C. has several programs in the area to choose from. Take the next step in both your nursing education and career by finding out more. Submit a request for information to all of the nursing schools that offer the graduate programs you are interested in. The more you know, the better prepared you will be to choose the program that is best for you.
Washington DC is a place rich in history. It is also an exciting place to live and work. There are many different careers here for nurses who have earned their MSN degree, including those of the nurse midwife and nurse practitioner.
Nurse education is an expanding specialty in the District of Columbia. The Washington D.C. Department of Employment Services notes that registered nurses are expected to be in high demand through 2020. Nurse educators that take on positions within Washington D.C. may help increase the number of nursing graduates.
Since Washington D.C. is an important part of the nation's legislative process, you may opt to pursue a career in nursing leadership. This may put you at the center of important laws, like a recent move to set specific nursing ratios throughout the country.
As a nurse midwife you can work with women of childbearing age to help improve their pregnancy outcomes and births. Nurse midwives work in many different areas of healthcare, including birth centers, hospitals, and clinics. Based on 2014 median annual salaries for nurse midwives Washington DC, you have the potential to earn about $97,000 (O*net, 2015). The demand for this career is expected to grow by 29 percent between 2012 and 2022 (O*net, 2015).
As a nurse practitioner you can work with all populations, from pregnancy and birth to the elderly, to prevent, diagnose, and treat various health conditions and illnesses. In the Washington DC area in 2014, nurse practitioners median annual wages were $96,600 (O*net, 2015), which gives you a rough estimate of your salary in this area. In addition, the demand for nurse practitioners is expected to rise by 34 percent between 2012 and 2022 (O*net, 2015).
If you have questions or would like more information about MSN degree programs or costs, contact the schools you see below.
