Some 400 million people worldwide, most in rural areas of developing countries, do not have access to simple reading glasses. Graham Macmillan '97 and his partners at the nonprofit VisionSpring have developed an innovative way to address this problem—but they're not giving it away.
VisionSpring's business model is rooted in theories of microfinance: They train low-income people in India, Bangladesh, Ghana, Guatemala, and El Salvador, among other countries, to start micro-franchises to sell reading glasses. And the benefits go beyond the individual seller. "Using reading glasses for the first time, aging farmers can again work fields efficiently and career textile workers can sew faster and more accurately," Macmillan said. Indeed, the incentive of greater efficiency and career longevity has led to sales of 240,000 pairs of reading glasses worldwide in the past six years by VisionSpring's 900 entrepreneurs.
To start off, VisionSpring sets up each entrepreneur with, quite literally, a business in a bag. It is filled with about 25 pairs of reading glasses, 15 pairs of sunglasses, a uniform, and cleaning cloths. The entrepreneurs are then trained how to screen for presbyopia, or up-close blurry vision, and other related eye problems, and they learn how to successfully run a sustainable business.
The vision entrepreneur then travels door to door, some village to village, screening for presbyopia. Those who show symptoms of presbyopia then have the option to buy glasses for between four and nine dollars, which in some communities is a substantial percentage of the buyer's income. "The price hurts enough where it makes a difference," Macmillan said, "but it also enables the customer to say, 'I don't have to buy this, you aren't giving this to me.' It's the dignity of choice."
The innovation yet overall simplicity of the model has led to accolades. The Economist, NBC Nightly News, National Public Radio, and the International Herald Tribune have profiled the foundation, while former President Bill Clinton called the foundation his "favorite commitment" from his Clinton Global Initiative meeting in 2007.
Despite the media attention, VisionSpring, like Macmillan, keeps its focus on the service provided. "There is so much power in this simple product, because the benefit is instantaneous," Macmillan said. "You put on a pair of glasses and you can immediately see the difference."

Here are some general questions from http://www.birthsense.org/ to ask any provider you are considering during your pregnancy and birth.
I don't want to reproduce the entire post, so be sure to go to her site and read the whole thing because the author wrote about the "wrong" answer and the "right" answer to each question, and that's really much more informative than just looking at the questions themselves.
- What is your philosophy of pregnancy and birth?
- How do you define "normal birth"?
- Can you give me an example how you typically manage a normal birth?
- How would you feel if I disagreed with you about a procedure you recommended during labor or birth?
- How long will you "allow me" to wait if I go overdue?
- What position(s) will you allow me to use when giving birth?
- How do you feel about IVs and continuous fetal monitoring?
- How do you feel about a woman eating and drinking in labor?
- What do you recommend a woman do during labor?
- What are your thoughts on pain relief in labor?
- How do you feel about cesarean birth?
Again, be sure to read the original article ("In Search of Dr. Right: 11 Questions to Ask") so you can see what are good caregiver responses to these questions and which ones should raise a red flag to you.
There are other additional questions I would ask if you are a woman of size, but more on that below and in future posts. If anything, women of size need to be even more vigilant in asking questions of potential care providers because size bias is so prevalent in maternity care. But for now, the above questions are a reasonable start to the process.
Nice Is Not Enough
The author also cautioned against letting a doctor's bedside charm and personality supercede your own commonsense about interventions. A doctor can be really charming, caring, and nice and still have a 50+% c-section rate and a 40+% episiotomy rate, which will do far more harm than good in the long run.
Just because they are "nice" doesn't mean you are going to get safe care from them that doesn't put you at risk for more complications.
This same midwife told the story of the following doctor on her blog (note that the "Dr. Wonderful" in this scenario is not the same as the truly birth-friendly "Dr. Wonderful" discussed on some birth blogs):
What is the definition of a "good doctor"? I once knew a physician whom everyone believed was a "good doctor". Let's call him Dr. Wonderful. He had a very high cesarean rate, a high episiotomy rate, a high forceps/vacuum rate, and yet his patients adored him. Why?
He made each woman who came to him feel special. He was handsome and charming, and would treat each woman as if she were the only patient in the world that mattered to him. This is not necessarily a bad thing–I believe each patient should feel special and important to her provider. However, when this perception of being special clouds a woman's judgment, it is time to have a reality check.
Dr. Wonderful would visit his patient after whatever unnecessary procedure he did, sit by the bedside, take her hand, and very regretfully tell her how sorry he was that she needed ___________ (insert the procedure of your choice), but if he had not done it, ___________ would have happened (insert catastrophe of your choice). So he very reluctantly had heroically intervened to save her life, or the life of her baby. The woman would be trembling with gratitude toward this marvelous physician by the time he left the room. None of his patients could ever believe that any of these procedures were unnecessary.This bait-and-switch tactic is very common among some doctors (and even some midwives). They know how to manipulate patients into going along with what they think is best and/or what is most convenient, even when the actual research doesn't support these interventions as best practice.
Most women think that if their doctor recommends a procedure to them, it must be necessary, and who are they to question the doctor's judgment? But most don't realize how much interventions vary from caregiver to caregiver. Nor are most given adequate information about the pros and cons of most procedures.
The point is not that all interventions are "bad" or must be avoided, but that the benefits and risks of proposed interventions should be discussed thoroughly and true patient autonomy respected, not manipulated.
If you are sure you want a hospital birth but you'd like to try and find a provider who is more friendly to natural childbirth and patient autonomy than most, this midwife summarizes one strategy for scoping out the possibilities:
I suggest that women who are planning hospital birth call their local [Labor and Delivery] unit, and ask to speak to a nurse who enjoys helping women who want unmedicated birth. Then ask that nurse for names of doctors [or midwives] that she thinks are most likely to support you in your goals.
Last, and perhaps most important, don't be fooled by a charming bedside manner. Make sure there is substance behind it.Amen to that. "Nice" is great, but some doctors use it as a way to convince women into all kinds of risky interventions as a way to lower the risk for being sued.
In particular, many women of size are just so grateful just to find a doctor who doesn't yell at them about their weight that they fail to ask further questions about the provider's rates of interventions that increase the risk for cesarean (a high induction rate, inducing for suspected big baby, etc.).
I've been there, done that myself and gotten burned, so learn from my mistakes.
Don't fall for "nice" over substance. Nice is a good start, but you still have to ask further questions.
Ask for Specific Intervention Rates
It's really important to ask a provider's intervention rates, especially his/her intervention rates for first-time moms. What's the induction rate, cesarean rate, episiotomy rate?
"I only do them when necessary" is not an acceptable answer; for some docs, interventions like these are "necessary" 50% of the time, and that rate presents far more risk than benefit.
For example, episiotomy rates should be extremely low; if it's not, the provider is not practicing evidence-based medicine, which has clearly shown routine episiotomy to be more harmful than helpful.
Many doctors say they "only do episiotomies when necessary" --- but if they find it "necessary" 40% of the time, there is something wrong with their definition of "necessary." Actual numbers are important for evaluating a provider.
Primary cesarean rates (cesareans in first-time moms or mothers who have never had a cesarean before) is another benchmark by which you can judge providers. Women who have not had cesareans before should not have a very high rate of cesareans during labor; if they do, it suggests that the doctor has a low threshold for surgery or encourages a lot of interventions that lead to more cesareans.
(Of course, if a provider regularly provides care to many high-risk women, the cesarean rate is going to be higher than a provider who mostly sees only low-risk women.....but generally speaking a high cesarean rate is a red flag.)
It's also helpful to ask the question above about how the care provider feels about cesareans.
If they have a high cesarean rate but are defensive about that, they'll likely say something that minimizes the impact of cesareans and ridicules the mother for caring.
Watch for comments like, "The real priority is a healthy baby" or "A healthy baby is more important than the delivery method".....as if that justifies any intervention the doctor uses, as if the mother's outcome is of no importance, and as if the mother questioning things means she doesn't really care about her baby over herself.
Of course the priority is a healthy baby, but a healthy mother is also a priority, and one recovering from unnecessary surgery is not a healthy mother. Nor should a woman be ridiculed for caring about avoiding a cesarean or an episiotomy whenever possible.
A provider that avoids the question of intervention rates by blaming the mother, brushing off her concern, or making her feel selfish for caring is a giant red flag.
Beware care providers that "don't know" their cesarean rate, "only do one when necessary," or who subtly deride anyone who asks questions about cesarean or episiotomy rates.
Also ask when/why the provider would want to induce labor.
If they routinely induce labor if the baby is thought to be "big," that's another tremendous red flag. Research shows that inducing early for a "big baby" actually increases the cesarean rate, not decreases it, but despite the evidence, many providers still induce early for a big baby anyway. [This is one major factor driving the high rate of cesareans in women of size.]
If you interview a provider and they would induce early for a big baby, this is a huge red flag.
Many providers also routinely induce labor at 40 or 41 weeks (sometimes earlier!), and research is mixed on the pros and cons of this practice.
Particularly for women of size (whose pregnancies tend to last longer), inducing labor early or right around term "just in case" probably leads to more cesarean risk and a whole host of other potential complications. Find a provider who is more willing to wait and not rush things as long as mother and baby are doing well.
You can have the "nicest" doctor or midwife in the world, and he or she can coax you straight down the path to a cesarean or episiotomy you don't need by engaging in unnecessarily high rates of interventions with dubious benefits.
Being nice is just not enough. You have to ask careful questions when interviewing a care provider, you have to ask for specific intervention rates, and it's very important to watch for the classic red "alarm" flags.
*What questions were most helpful to you when you were interviewing providers? What questions do you wish you had asked? What advice do you have for other pregnant women looking for maternity care providers?

"The tragedy of this whole thing is just the potential of what he could have become is now gone and will never be repeated," said Thomas DiSabatino about his son who he will never get to see grow to be the man he could've been.
"I will always miss him and never forget him," said DiSabatino. Someone shot his 20-year old Pete Monday night near where he lived at the Studio Green West Apartments in Newark Delaware. Police don't believe the shooting was random and neighbors said they heard Pete arguing with someone in the parking lot outside his apartment before gunshots rang out. Pete's family was surrounded by a large group of his friends and neighbors during a candlelight vigil Tuesday night outside his apartment.
"The person that did this certainly doesn't have any idea of what the value of human life is," said DiSabatino. He said his son was on his way to becoming something great. The two saw a movie and had dinner Friday. They talked about his future. DiSabatino said, "He said he wanted to be an entrepreneur and maybe do a little work in the entertainment business and I had bought him some books."
The 20-year old was also a student at the University Of Delaware's academic center in Wilmington. Alan Horowitz was his Sociology professor and said, "Pete would've been in my class at 11 Tuesday morning."
Pete's family said they are not bitter and aren't the type of people to seek revenge but they do want justice. His oldest sister Natalie said, "It's unfortunate because we're not the only people who lost a family member. They also lost a family member if the person is convicted."
New Castle County Police are looking for two men in connection with the shooting.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

I note with much surprise that the fuji xf1 is still retailing for £170!
this super looking and very pocketable camera is just so horribly flawed I'm surprised it isn't in the bargain basement department yet. I bought one to replace a worn out ricoh grd 3 as my pocket camera and oh boy, it was like going from a porsche to a hoop and stick!
the xf1 is almost unusable for:
macro use, (stupidly fiddly button and refuses to focus on what you want)
any quick work/street shooting,
anything in low light (ghastly artifacts from just iso 400).
add to the above the really poor auto focus hunting and the hampering on/off switch and you have a package of nightmares wrapped in a pretty box.
the big problem for fuji though is that this kind of shoddy rubbish really has put me off their premium stuff. I had been considering the xe2, but the exhausting experience with the xf1 has had me scurrying to sony to upgrade my dslr and to the aps-c sensor ricoh gr for my pocket street camera.

PERSONAL HISTORY about the foods the writer cooks during summers in Nova Scotia. Opinions differ as to how many dishes are in the writer's Nova Scotia cooking repertoire. Estimates have ranged from three to eight. That variation does not reflect differing views on whether some of the dishes are also cooked elsewhere. The range in estimates has to do with other questions: How many times has he produced the dish? How long has it been since he produced it? What constitutes a dish? Does a stove have to be involved? These are the sort of questions about which reasonable people may differ. Discusses several of the dishes in the writer's repertoire, including smoked mackerel pâté and fresh haddock fried in matzo meal. Writer tells about his signature dish, scallops. Much of the credit goes to local ingredients: the scallops available in Nova Scotia are incomparable. According to people in the writer's village, the best of the best Nova Scotia scallops are found in the body of water they live on—an inlet of the Atlantic. You have to dive for these scallops. Describes going scallop diving with a neighbor who had both a scallop license and some experience in getting under the surface of the water. The writer and one of his daughters would sit in the boat while the neighbor went down to the bottom and, eventually, came up with a rope basket of scallops. Shucking a scallop can be jarring aesthetically, since there are abrupt changes between beautiful and ugly. A scallop shell is, of course, beautiful. Once you pry off the upper shell, though, you are faced with the sort of sight the writer's younger daughter used to characterize as "guts and throw-up." If you get a blunt knife under the edge, you can lift everything off together, and there, suddenly, is beauty again: a perfectly white or pink scallop stands alone in the middle of the shell. Tells about the inspiration for the writer's salmon hash, which came from a recipe developed by Chef Greg Higgins at the Heathman Hotel in Portland, Oregon. For years, the writer had made a simplified version of the salmon hash before he acquired the full recipe and his family persuaded him to try it.

The New Rules of Lifting Supercharged
Ten All-New Muscle-Building Programs for Men and Women
Lou Schuler - Author
Alwyn Cosgrove - Author
add to cart
- eBook - ePub eBook: $9.99
This supercharged new edition of The New Rules of Lifting features all-new workouts to build maximum muscle in both men and women.
Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove's The New Rules of Lifting, The New Rules of Lifting for Women, and The New Rules of Lifting for Abs have revolutionized how people lift weights. The New Rules of Lifting Supercharged is a total reboot of the weightlifting workout book that launched the series in 2006, packing even more power on every page.
Featuring ten completely new workouts for both women and men, Supercharged emphasizes four major movements that do the most to change the way your body looks, feels, and performs: squat, deadlift, push, and pull. In addition, Cosgrove's updated total-body workout program improves core strength, mobility, flexibility, balance, endurance, and athleticism . . . all in just three hours a week of exercise.
Another big change from the original New Rules of Lifting is a self-customized workout system. Readers can choose their own exercises from a menu for each movement category, allowing beginner and advanced lifters to get tremendous results from the same basic plan. Each workout ends with a "finisher"—five to ten minutes of fun but high-effort drills such as complexes, intervals, and density training, with the choice of the reader's favorite exercises. The ultimate guide to total-body strengthening, this supercharged edition of The New Rules of Lifting will lift readers to stratospheric results.
In the beginning, Alwyn Cosgrove and I wrote a book called The New Rules of Lifting. And it was good. Readers liked it, and they got outstanding results from Alwyn's training programs. You wouldn't be reading the fifth book in the series if the first one hadn't helped lifters like you reach your goals.
But here's the thing: Most lifters like you haven't heard of Alwyn, or me, or the NROL series. Millions of men and women lift weights, either at home or in commercial gyms, but it's hard to see much evidence to suggest they're getting what they want from it, or what they could get from it.
Instead, I see all the same behaviors and practices that inspired us to launch the series in the first place.
I see paunchy middle-aged men block the dumbbell rack as they grind through set after set of every biceps exercise they remember from Flex magazine circa 1995, while avoiding the exercises that use the body's biggest muscles in coordinated action, the movements that would do the most to build muscle, burn fat, and turn back the clock to the days when they looked more like a page from Men's Health than Cigar Aficionado.
I see apparently healthy women doing the beneficial exercises the men avoid—the squats, deadlifts, and rows—but with weights that wouldn't challenge someone twice their age, with half their strength.
I see young lifters doing exercises that will turn them into old lifters, the moves most likely to cause injury and least likely to offer much benefit. I see older lifters doing half-baked versions of programs designed for young athletes or bodybuilders, only without any apparent sense of the mechanisms that would make such a program work.
It's like they've all gotten the first half of the memo about the importance of strength training for health, fitness, and appearance. But somehow the rest of the memo—the part that explains what you need to do to get the results you want—got deleted. So, in a way, the NROL series is the second half of that memo.
Take the first New Rule of Lifting: "The best muscle-building exercises are the ones that use your muscles the way they're designed to work."
Or the third: "To build size, you must build strength."
Or the twenty-third: "Results come from hard work."
Or the forty-third: "You can't protect your spine by doing exercises that damage it."
Or the sixty-third: "You're not a kid anymore. Don't train like one."
See what I mean?
The readers who found and implemented the original New Rules of Lifting (along with the ones who read NROL for Women, for Abs, and for Life) know what it means to train. They know how to lift in a way that allows them to get progressively stronger, to add more muscle, to reduce fat, to work with their bodies rather than against them. They're the ones who walk past the machines in their health club and pick up free weights. They're the ones who get stronger over time, at any age, despite roadblocks or limitations. They're the ones who look like they know what they're doing. They move with purpose. They sweat, they grimace, and every now and then they actually grunt.
Does that describe you?
If so, great. You're either a satisfied NROL reader, coming back for the newest information and most up-to-date programs, or you're a target reader, someone who's ready to do what it takes to get leaner, stronger, and more athletic.
Not you? Pull up a chair, and let's talk.

Pittsburgh teenagers latest lost skiersJanuary 21,2013Three girls found
after leaving trail
KILLINGTON A group of three teenage skiers from the Pittsburgh, Pa., area, were the latest group of skiers who had to be rescued after they deliberately skied out of bounds Sunday afternoon, police said.
Vermont State Police said the skiers, all 17-year-old girls, were at Killington with a school group and skied out of bounds at 1:16 p.m. Sunday from the Juggernaut Trail. The girls later called 911, and their location was determined through GPS, police said.
The Killington Ski Patrol entered the woods and were able to locate the teenagers and get them out unharmed. State police and E-911 were also involved in the rescue.
Police said temperatures Sunday ranged from 45 to zero degrees, with winds gusting to 50 miles an hour. Police said the girls were not prepared for a night in the woods.
Killington has been plagued with dozens of out-of-bounds skiers this winter, requiring numerous rescues, and prompting a review by state police.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryStaff Report Full StoryThe Associated Press Full Story

I am on an hp dv6 7011 tx that has the broadcom bcm 4313 chipset. The bcmwl-kernel-source driver is installed by default and it does not work. The enable wireless option in the network applet is greyed out. So i went to the additional drivers and installd the broadcom-STA-wireless driver. Actually I did this:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source
echo "blacklist brcmsmac" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
echo "blacklist bcma" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Now i don't have a good idea why i blackclisted the brcmsmac and the bcma drivers. I checked some other forums and also blacklisted the "acer-wmi" driver because it seemed to do the trick in some cases. After a reboot there was no improvement at all. The wifi was not getting switched on when i pressed the key, seems like it is hardblocked.
So i removed the bcmwl-kernel-source driver(from the ubuntu software center)and then the wireless network disappeared completely after the reboot. I mean i was not even able to see if the wireless networks are enabled or disabled.
And finally I re installed the bcmwl-kernel-source package and removed 2 packages, broadcom-sta-common and the broadcom-sta-source(dependencies and sources for the broadom STA wireless driver) and I think I am back to square 1. I would really appreciate if you guys could help me through this. I did a clean install of the 12.04 LTS for better wifi support of my broadcom chipset only. Thanks in advance!

Clayton >Food & Dining > Barcelona Tapas Restaurant
34 N Central Ave, Saint Louis, MO | Directions 6310538.651235 -90.338117
Mon-Sun: 11am-12am
Neighborhoods: Clayton, Saint Louis
If you go make sure to try QUESO DE CABRA AL HORNO - Baked goat cheese in tomato sauce with garlic bread. It is really delicious. I can eat the whole thing by myself...although if you go in a group, get lots of different things and share. The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly enough. I suggest this place if you like tasting numerous dishes instead of having just 1 entree.
They think they're better than you – Barcelona isn't terribly expensive and the food and service are decent, but not great. To me, the ambiance is awful. This place is loud and extremely crowded- the tables are closer together than any place I've seen. On a Friday night the insecure $30k millionaire crowd all look you up and down and decides that their hair has more body than yours, and their leased Lexus is shinier, or at least that's what I felt like. Tapas should be leisurely and exotic, not trendy and loud. Try Modesto instead.
Good before - Very bad now – My husband and I loved Barcelona when it was a little place in Clayton. The food was very authentic. We used to go a lot to have some drinks and very good food.
Then, when they expanded the location, we hated it. The last time we were there, we had very bad service, the food was horrible, we even returned the Paella. We explained to out waittres about our disapointment, but she didn't care, I guess she was just worried that her tip might no be good.
Great tapas!! – We tried Barcelonas when we were walking around in Clayton trying to find somewhere to eat. We had never had tapas before. It was delicious. The tenderloin was the best I have ever tasted. The food comes out as its ready. Service was great. Will definitely go back.
Great dining experience at Barcelona – We had a reservation on a Wednesday night at 8 pm. We ended up arriving the Clayton area much earlier than planned and decided to see if we could get seated an hour and a half early. We were seated with no problems. The place was kind of cramped and they were very busy but that was not a big issue for us. We shared Gazpacho (a cold soup), pepper-crusted tuna, spanish meatballs, and spinach and mushroom empanadas. Everything was delicious and the service was great. We drank mojitos and tried the white sangria, which were also very good. We had never been to a tapas restaurant before and really enjoyed the experience. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! – We had a 7pm reservation. By 8:15 we still had not been seated. Numerous inquiries were met with a shrug from the incompetent host/manager. As we finally gave up and walked out, we were given a half-hearted apology. I can't help but think that they didn't really care. They had our money from the numerous rounds of drinks consumed while waiting, and they knew they'd seat the table anyway.
Atmosphere is fun, but the food is not the real thing – I am from Spain and came to the States a few years ago and was very excited to go to this place, but do not be fooled. The atmosphere and location might be great, but the food is not the real thing. I found the portions just ok, and the tortilla (spanish potato omelette) should have no spices or other ingredients besides potato, egg and onion. It is all it needs to be tasteful and awesome. There are a few spanish wines, all of them overpriced and mediocre. I would not recommend to have tapas there if you really want to know what mediterranean food is all about.
FRIENDLIEST STAFF – My family and friends always have the best times out when at Barcelona. The staff is great and the food is to die for. It is the only restaurant I crave food from all the time! I here they are expanding into other cities, how exciting!!
Really replicates catalan culture – We went to Barcelona on a Thursday night for a bottle of wine. The prices are unbeatable, and the crowd is as varied as the tapas menu. Having spent time living in Spain, this is as close to feeling like I was in Barcelona as any place I've been to in the States. The decor was very much authentic and it had a very romantic feel. Dimly lit and cozy. I will certainly be returning again and again!
Love the sangria – I love this place. Food is great. Portions are small so you can try many dishes. Great place to meet friends or a date after work. During the week, 1/2 price sangria pitchers until 7pm! Very crowded late night.

Security consultant Richard P. Werth, who specializes in security of events and meetings, compiled the following tips for planners. Security should always be a top priority for meeting planners, Werth contends, but in light of the September terrorist attacks, planners must take a proactive role in ensuring the safety of delegates.
1. STAY ALERT to local and international news/issues, which can change VERY quickly and may affect your event, meeting or travel.
2. Assess all of your events/meetings, destinations and facilities to determine potential risks and concerns. Be sensitive to your attendees' concerns for their safety and being away from their loved ones. Make changes as appropriate. If there is a good business reason for events, meetings and travel to continue, move forward cautiously and alertly.
3. Make security an integral part of the EARLY event management planning process and actual event for the welfare of the attendees and success of the event.
4. Consider lower profile destinations, venues and/or alternative meeting solutions.
5. Examine your existing event contracts for cancellations, changes, etc., to determine any impact. Review your insurance policies to determine specific coverages.
6. Review your event and travel policies and procedures to ensure that they are relative to this new environment in which we now must operate.
7. Ensure that emergency plans are integrated into every event. Develop contingency destinations and facilities in case venues must be changed.
8. To reduce your organization's name exposure, use only low profile signage and badges, non-company name merchandise items, etc.
9. Establish a good working relationship with hotel/facility security management and know how they will support you and your event.
10. Demand that contract and/or facility security personnel and companies are competent to protect your attendees and property.
11. Develop an emergency plan that includes critical local resources. Maintain accurate lists of all attendees, their hotel(s) and hotel room numbers, and their emergency contact information.
12. Provide attendees with useful security, health and cultural guidelines customized to the destination, venues and activities.
13. Brief the event staff on the security and contingency procedures.
14. Establish effective access control policies and procedures for exclusive access by authorized personnel.
15. Consider professionally licensed and operated charter aircraft companies as an alternative to commercial air travel.
16. If a crisis or emergency occurs, leadership and communication are key. Establish a single point of contact to avoid confusing or contradictory communications.
17. Use only professional event security resources that have an established track record and understand your event objectives.
Attendee Sensitivities For those concerned about long distance travel, consider closer or regional destinations or other modes of transportation. If you must use a high-rise hotel, consider lower guestroom floors above 2 and up to the 8th floor, which are considered safer from an evacuation perspective.
Your Businesses' Continuity Plan Twelve CEOs, business founders or owner lost their lives in the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon and many company operations were seriously damaged, some beyond recovery. It is clear that those with building and employee emergency organizations and business continuity plans survived better than those without.
Conduct a risk assessment of your business operations, office space, critical business elements, exterior environment, etc., to identify your risks exposure. Develop and test a business continuity plan that includes emergency procedures and communications, a leadership succession plan for all key positions, maintain current emergency contact information for all staff and key resources, etc. Automatically back-up your company data daily and store it in a distinctly separate and SECURE location.
Determine if your key suppliers and contractors have business continuity plans to continue supporting your business. If not, insist that they develop one.
Our national and global economies depend upon ALL of us cautiously and alertly, but not fearfully, resuming business.

One of the biggest criticisms I frequently see leveled at gaming is that it's an inherently antisocial activity; that it promotes introversion, inactivity, and generally poor behavior. Turns out, none of that is necessarily true - video games may actually form the foundation of modern youth culture.
Have A Look At This Awesome Panoramic Shot Taken By Curiosityby Tech Light
NASA's Curiosity Rover currently has a long trip ahead of it - the drone is on its way to Mount Sharp, where it will investigate the geological history of Mars.

This Intelligent Patch Automatically Applies Medsby Diogo Costa
Taking medicines is something that should not be taken lightly and, at all times, the patient should follow all the doctor's indications, specially indications related to the dosage and the times when they should be taken. However, sometimes patients forget to take their medicines, messing up the recovery. Now, a smart skin patch has been developed that not only assesses the need of medication, but also applies the needed dosage in a given moment.
50 Shades Of Fictional Fashion: Christian Grey Inspired Menswear By Norton & Townsendby Fashion Finds
Fashion inspired by literature is not a new concept. Some designers have selected literal interpretations - incorporating the image of a book or its pages into a whimsical garment. Others are more focused on fictional fashion, taking a note from the heroes or heroines and bringing their wardrobes to life. The most recent designer to tackle this trend has decided to focus on menswear inspired by a character well lusted after and envied.
iHear: Low Cost Invisible Hearing Aids Calibrated Just For Youby Boomer Babe
One thing boomers learn fast: Medicare and other insurance plans don't pay for hearing aids. And those buggers can cost up to $4,000 - $5,000 a pair. There's perhaps no one who knows these facts better than the man who invented the Lyric hearing aid, which, on a subscription basis, cost that much per pair per year! Now, that man, Adnan Shannib, has invented iHear, the hearing aid for the 99 percent of us who would love to hear, but can't afford those Lyric prices. It's the iHear, and wait 'til you see what's different about these hearing aids!

Wave Of New Intel Tablet CPUs Coming Soonby Rey M.L.
Intel is rather serious about making a mark in the slate PC market. Serious enough, in fact, that it will soon augment its lineup of Atom processors with nine or so new ones. Even the partial specs list we've gotten a hold of is confusing, so allow me to untangle it for you.

Technically no, but why not? The 7000 is available with 3/4" plumbing connectors, offers virtually no loss in flow due to its large ports, the meter is 1/2 the cost to repair/replace in the future, both are extremely simple to rebuild, and the 7000 is rated nema 4. The only real disadvantage is the physical size of the valve. It is larger, but the size is comparable to the old mechanical metered valves as I have shown in recent posts and pictures.
The 7000 also uses optical positioning instead of micrswitches. This is simpler and reduses parts. The drive train is also more durable, but this really only matters in commercial applications where the system will see daily regenerations. Residential applications, both valves will last for decades.
Either valve will last for many years and provide exceptional trouble free service. If you watch the video below, and go to my other videos, you will see me rebuild a 5000, that is very similar to the 5600 rebuild. As you can see, both valves are built to last and are very easy to rebuild when it becomes necessary in a decade.
Hope this helps.

How Do I Join?
Give us a call or send us a message to arrange your personal tour of the location you are interested in joining. The Membership Director will show you the fleet of boats and will work with you to determine which of our membership options will meet your boating wishes. Most applications are processed within 24 hours.
The next step is to become a knowledgeable and proficient boat operator. Our Be A Better Boater training program is included with membership at no additional cost. You will be scheduled for the next available Boating Safety Course and will have your On-The-Water individual boat operation training scheduled as soon as possible thereafter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Carefree Boat Club is a private club. This means that our boats are only available to Members. We do not rent or charter our boats. Our members are the only ones with access to the fleet and they never pay a fee to use the boats.

Yes. Simply call the dock master at the marina you wish to boat. The dock master will tell you what's available and you reserve it for "Spur of the Moment" use. Spur of the Moment use does not count as reservations. It is similar to a "walk on" round of golf.
CBC tracks members vs. boats to ensure we do not have too few boats for our members. CBC adds boats as members are welcomed in to the club. By tracking the usage of the boats by type and by location, CBC can determine the boats that are most popular and add more.
