The same price, the same flavour… (Translation)
9 May 2011
Guaraná is Now Fortified with Vitamins
- It contains vitamin B1 and B3 for more energy and health
- For nationwide release
Lima, May 5, 2011 - In an effort to offer a product with more benefits, in accord with the healthy lifestyle that many people chose nowadays, Backus is releasing Guaraná, now fortified with vitamins B1 and B3.
The same Guaraná as always will keep its unique and incomparable taste, as well as its price, but it will now be healthier, since it has been enriched with vitamins B1 and B3, essential for growth and good heart function. It aids the nervous and digestive systems and also contributes to energy production and cellular respiration, reducing cholesterol synthesis and maintaining healthy skin.
"We have noticed a growing tendency toward a healthier lifestyle. We want Guaraná, one of our most traditional products, to join this tendency and be in line with our customers' preferences. Because of this, we decided to give Guaraná additional assets. Aside from having a delicious, special and refreshing taste, it now has added benefits for those who enjoy it," Mario Gomi, Backus water and soda director, stated.
It bears mentioning that a 500 ml. bottle of Backus Guaraná contains 46 percent of the daily requirements of vitamin B1 (thiamine) and 30% of the daily requirements of vitamin B3 (niacin) for those fourteen and older.
Backus Guaraná is available in three sizes: 500 ml., 2 litres and 3.01 litres, whose prices are on a national level: S/. 1.00, S/. 3.50 and S/. 500, respectively.
About Guaraná
Backus Guaraná has a unique, original and refreshing taste because it contains the natural extract of the seed of the guarana fruit.
Backus Guaraná has increased in volume by 30 percent in 2010, in comparison with 2009. It is a leader in fruit-flavoured soft drinks, with a 22 percent participation in the market (according to CCR, March, 2011).

Bangers and Thrash
What's up with heavy music
Published: January 16, 2013
January and February offer an incredible variety of shows. Of course, there is A389 Fest at the Ottobar, the Sidebar, and the Charm City Art Space, from Jan. 17-20. Among a long list of bands performing, the standouts include the Left for Dead reunion, Lack of Interest, Integrity, and Despise You, but that's just scratching the surface. Check a389records.com for full details. Corrections House—an all-star group composed of Scott Kelly (Neurosis), Mike IX Williams (EYEHATEGOD), Sanford Parker (Nachtmystium), and Bruce Lamont (Yakuza)—is coming to Metro Gallery on Jan. 25. We don't know much about the group yet, but given the pedigree of all involved, it seems like one not to miss. Black Clouds opens.
One of the most celebrated metal bands of 2012, Pallbearer, brings its funeral-dirge doom sound to the Ottobar on Jan. 31, along with Enslaved, Ancient VVisdom, and Royal Thunder. The following day, Streets of Rage comes to Club K with Fight Amp and City Paper "Best Album" 2012 winners Multicult, as well as other groups (and video games). Hammerfest, a benefit organized by friends of Scott Hammer, owner of Coda Records in Bel Air, who recently passed away, closes out the weekend on Feb. 2 and 3 at Longshots in Abingdon. There are more bands playing than could fit in this column but definitely don't miss Roomrunner. All proceeds benefit Hammer's family.
Death metal legends Suffocation are playing two shows in the area—Feb. 8 at Café 611 in Frederick and the next day at Baltimore Soundstage. Frank "the Tank" Mullen never disappoints with his stage banter, so this should be an entertaining show. Strong Intention plays both shows, along with a long list of local metal acts. Cemetery Piss, a new group featuring members of Murder and Vincent Black Shadow, put out one of my top ten releases last year, but only now are they finally making their live debut, at Club K, with Bastard Sapling, Ashencult, and Dead Peasants on Feb. 10. They should have a new EP out this spring, on D.C.'s Cricket Cemetery records.
Local grindcore vets Triac have a new split 12-inch with D.C.'s D.O.C. (which features Chris Moore of Magrudergrind) coming out, and they're celebrating with a joint show Feb. 9 at the Bell Foundry. This is the first Triac release to highlight the vocal talents of bassist Chadd Heathen and guitarist Kevin Bernsten. In other news, Lotus Fucker just released their new LP, Forever My Fighting Spirit, recorded by Mike Walls. Also, Baltimore d-beat-influenced band Old Lines self-released LP is now available on vinyl. It's limited to 300 copies, so act fast.

After a political setback last week, Parisian taxi drivers protest new-era car services booked via smartphone apps. But the new UberPop ride-sharing service could bring even more disruptions.
Brick-and-mortar retailers might one day be able to serve up high-tech Web ads that do the math and potentially offer big-ticket shoppers free rides to their stores.
Violent treatment at a roadblock outside Paris makes an Eventbrite executive a bigger fan of the very Uber car service that taxi drivers were protesting.
During a day of protests by taxi drivers in Paris, an Uber car carrying a technology executive was left with slashed tires and broken windows.
The car-hire firm has brought a less expensive version of its service to the U.K. capital for those who don't want to pay a premium for a ride in a luxury car.
Google is reported to be working on its own self-driving car, in case it doesn't reach a deal with vehicle makers.
The car service's peer-to-peer option is now cheaper than a taxi in San Francisco, one of its biggest markets. It's a fare warning to competitors.
Following last month's legislative win, the on-call car service rolls out its taxi option in the nation's capital.
A new initiative aimed for early next year will give London cab riders free Internet time in exchange for watching advertisements.

congrats to you Tri-Tri-Again! sounds like you're really on track. I just finished week one, and am just glad I'm sticking with it. I did all of my workouts and really tried to push myself - my unbelievable soreness was evidence for me. meals I'd say I was about 90% on target - but hey that's SO much better than I was eating. had my free day yesterday and am right on track today. like you, I'll probably need at least two challenges to reach my goals but if that's what it takes, I need to do this. I want to reclaim the 'me' that is buried underneath all this fat.
I wish it felt more routine but hopefully after 3 weeks like you I will.
best wishes to all!
I wish my sister would get on this forum, it is very helpful to read the conversations, she too has over 100 lbs to lose. We started Dec 17th, she had a set back a restarted Jan 1st. It's true that measuring is better than weighing, with my waist being 3 inches smaller in 6 wks, for me, I should be 15 lbs lighter, but I'm about 9 to 10. I'm trying to focus on progress, any is better than when I started. I would love to have the wonderful body transformations that so many people get, just don't think I have what it takes to get there. @ artemis susan, it does feel more routine atfer awhile especially the workouts, the eating part gets better too tho like most of us food is a comfort when there are struggles, I'm trying hard not to let myself down.
EandJzmom - Sorry about your sister's set back. Not sure what it was that would make her want to start over but starting over doesn't make it any easier. The way I got around it was from something someone said once. When we trip walking up a flight of stairs, do we go back to the beginning of those stairs and start over until we can walk those flight of stairs flawlessly? NO! It's still progress, so when anybody feels like they have messsed up some part of the process and should start over, think about how much it really doesn't make any sense to do. Just pick up where you think you messed up and keep going. No one has a perfect 12 weeks...no one that I've known anyway. Glad you figured out the scale is not your friend. Use the measurements as you've been doing. I found an old chart of my progress. For 2 weeks the scale didn't move. I stayed at 193lbs but I had lost 2 inches in various places on my body. That was still a loss even though the scale didn't show it. The scale is something we all grew up learning that was the way to judge our bodies but really there are other ways. Use the tape measure on a regular bases and use the scale on a quarterly bases and you'll be much more motivated and happier with what you are doing. Look forward to what's coming your way. No one who ever got the results you are hoping for did it by thinking negatively. Think positive thoughts and think what you are doing is a good thing and not just some routine that gets old. Think of it as your "me" time. Schedule it and stick to it. It's your appointment for you just like any other appointment you would make. :-)
Love you some you...PERSEVERE!
Again, Sharon, just great advice. I love the analogy about the stairs. I will have to remember that one and share with my buds!
Go, Becca, Go! Tri Tri Again! www.tinyurl.com/rebecca2013
thank you for your posts and positive cheers. I blew it last night. I dont know why. old habits and wasnt thinking? I had a crappy day. felt stressed. one glass of wine led to two led to popcorn, led to cheese , crackers UGH. I woke feeling awful, really bad about myself. thinking I blew it and should just quit, I'll start again on Monday.
I logged on this morning and read your post and 'no one has a perfect 12 weeks' and the 'stairs'. you're an angel. I'm going downstairs now to do my cardio. ok. thanks.
I'm thinking of doing all 4 challenges this year as I started workin out at 223 and have a total of 100 more pounds to lose (down 55 from highest weight and have kept that 55 off one year now). It's nice to see more people this heavy diving into this challenge, perhaps we can be each others support group in this forum..... I know I will need support!
hello, I'm doing the challenge, was going to dive into all 4 but see now that they overlap with dates, so I guess I will either do round 1 and 3 or 2 and 4...... i know it's not physically possible to accomplish what I need to in just 12 wks. You should join me in a double challenge!! Don't let your medical issues control you!!! Learn to control what you can! meal choices, exercises, you will feel better and tone up all the way around! I suffer from Fibromyalgia and I do not take any pharmacuticals for it, some days are harder than others, but I always feel better after a workout ! muscle does weigh more than fat, but drink plenty of water and the fat will wash away if you are stickin to your healthy meal choices and exercising regularly! I've kept off 55 pounds for a year, done with the plateau ( got interrupted by surgery and had to be lazy for 8 long wks) 2013 is going to show me the 100 pound loss and melt the fat lady who has built a coccoon around the real me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm givin it the whole year! ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!!
WAY TO GO Coconut!!!! I'm in it for the whole year too. I would like to lose 50 lb ... we CAN do this!
Hello, I started BFL for the second time last two weeks ago and I'm thrilled to be back. I am 276 and 5 foot 6 and I've worked out with weights for years and love doing so. I stopped my program in 2009 and gained weight, fat, and worst of all became unhappy with myself because it was all my own doing. I'm happy to say that is all over, I'm committed and ready to be in great shape again.
Anyway, my goal is to lose 100 lbs and be fit and have excess energy again. I would love to be involved with this group and offer any support that I can offer!
Hey ladies! Today is day 28 (end of week 4) and I have lost four pounds and 3 inches from my body (1.5 from my waist, .5 from my hips, and .5 off each calf). How amazing! And i thought I couldn't lose weight!!!!
I am new to thus forum. I am just turned 41 and over 200. I'm not happy with myself. I initially did this program 10years ago and was much thinner. Too think I tought I was fat then. I think this commumity will help me get back to a healthy weight. I have some challenges, I own a 24 hout business and I have psoriatic arthritis. I think my pso arthritis will calm down with me losing weight. If anyone has that same condition please post suggestions.
I'm just starting a new challenge, at 211 (5'5"). I have tried the challenge before, and lost about 20 lbs, but still struggling with overeating, which means I go back up pretty easily. I'm looking for more accountability this go around. It may take a couple challenges to do it, but I need to get this extra weight off.
Hi ladies,
today is day 15 for me. I'm leaving my scale in the closet which is really hard. I'm taking the advice of some successful BFLrs and not weighing/taking measurements until I finish my first four weeks, then again at 8 and then when I finish. Was pretty good with my food/portions over the weekend but missed a cardio workout. no excuses. no good ones anyway. but I got up this morning and did a smokin UBWO, can really feel it in my arms, even as is sit here and type!
We can all do this and welcome to new friends on this thread. I enjoy reading everyone's posts, its really helpful and since my husband is not doing this with me, it helps me feel like I'm not alone. thank you all.
Wow - I thought I was the only 200+ female and am glad to know I'm not alone. Today is my first day of the challenge and I'm 5' 9", 239 lbs, and 60 yrs old. I did the program about 10 years ago and it worked great but my bad habits returned and I gained back all my weight plus an additional 40 lbs. I am determined that this time it is "for LIFE" and I'll be successful.
I had a great workout this morning and can feel my muscles still tingling 6 hours later. I'm looking forward to tomorrow and all the days to follow and the great progress I know this program can deliver.
Thanks for all the posts that make me feel connected to others in the same boat as me. Nice to not feel alone!
I've been reading this board for a few weeks now and decided to post. I too am over 200 lbs (206) and I'm 5'3. I'm finally trying to accept that this is where I am and that I don't want to gain anymore. It happened so fast and if I don't do something now I'm going to turn around and be in even worse shape. I did BFL in 2001 with a friend and we both had amazing results. It works.
I started yesterday 1/27. Did upperbody yesterday and ran today for my HIIT cardio. The run was brutal--I feel it in my abs which I know is good.
My 40th birthday is July 20th and my goal is to be down 4 dress sizes (to a size 8) fitting back into all the beautiful clothes I have in my closet. Maybe that's too ambitious a goal--I don't really know--but I'm going to try. Whatever I do, I don't want to be the size I am now.
So if y'all don't mind, I'm going to post to this board and let y'all know how it's going and the results that I know I'm going to see. I'm doing this alone which is hard for me but going to take it one day at a time.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at PAWS. We care for and heal between 6,000 and 8,000 cats, dogs and wild animals every year. We couldn't do it without our compassionate, dedicated, long-term volunteers.
Each year, more than 1,000 volunteers, with a wide variety of backgrounds, donate more than 115,000 hours of service, giving hands-on care to animals, educating our community, providing administrative support, and more. PAWS volunteers report a deep sense of satisfaction in contributing to the health and well-being of animals while working alongside others who desire to take action on their behalf.
We provide the training for all volunteer positions, so no prior experience is required. Whether feeding orphaned wild songbirds, finding homes for cats and kittens, or helping to make an event successful, you can be a part of the life-saving work we do.
If your group, company or service organization is looking for a one-day volunteer project, refer to our group or company info.
If you are interested in volunteering with PAWS, please follow these steps:
Please note that PAWS cannot accommodate those seeking to fulfill court-ordered community service.

The Coulomb's force is given by $$ F = {k q^2 \over r^2} $$ When $ r \rightarrow 0 $, $ F \rightarrow \infty $ Does this mean two electrons never touch each other?
Yes, two electrons or two charged particles are not allowed to overlap – the interaction energy goes like $1/r$ so it would diverge in the strict limit and the world doesn't have the infinite energy to do that. Two electrons are forbidden to overlap for another reason, the Pauli exclusion principle.
On the other hand, two particles of opposite signs attract by a force that goes to infinity in the $r\to 0$ limit, too. Nevertheless, even in this case, they won't end up overlapping due to the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics.
For example, take the hydrogen atom (or any atom). The electron can't sit exactly at the nucleus even though it would save an infinite amount of energy. The reason is that a very low $r$ implies a very low $\Delta x$ of the same order and, therefore, a high $\Delta p \geq \hbar / \Delta x$. A high $\Delta p$ means a high average $\Delta p^2$, and therefore high kinetic energy, and this one actually wins if the proton-electron distance is too short. If the electrostatic force increased faster than $1/r^2$ at short distances, one could actually beat the kinetic energy and oppositely charged particles would choose to sit on top of each other.

What makes regions more or less successful when it comes to entrepreneurship? What about Kendall Square has made the area such a powerful entrepreneurial hotspot? These questions and others like them are considered during the new MIT Regional Entrepreneurship Acceleration Program (REAP), currently offered as a joint program between MIT Sloan Executive Education and the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship.
Created in part to address the concerns of organizations that want to emulate the entrepreneurial spirit encompassed by MIT and the surrounding area, REAP is a multi-year program designed to help regions promote economic development and job creation by teaching participants how to implement a more robust, innovation-based entrepreneurial ecosystem. For example, during the REAP 2012–2013 pilot program, cross-functional teams from Hangzhou (China), Finland, New Zealand, Veracruz (Mexico), Scotland, Andalucia (Spain), and Turkey conducted an action project focused on assessing the current state of entrepreneurship in their regions.


text: The big discussion at the Akron Town Council meeting Monday evening was Amendment 64. Jim Clark spoke to the board and handed out material on some of the myths and misconceptions with the use of marijuana. Clark said there have been no domestic violence cases in Colorado in the last year involving marijuana, but there have been many involving the use of alcohol. Clark also said there have been no deaths related to people using marijuana and driving, but over 100 died in alcohol related accidents. Clark supports using marijuana as an alternative to alcohol and said he would like to see a store in town. Now at his medical marijuana dispensary, he does not give or sell marijuana to anyone under the age of 21 and he would still do that if he could have a store in town. Clark also said marijuana is not a gateway drug and said he does not support using alcohol or harder drugs. Clark feels it would be good for the revenue of the town if he had a store in town. After Clark left, Dave and Scott Preston talked to the board about two items. They support Clark and feel a store in town would be good for the economy. They also asked about the old Assembly of God Church and why it hadn't been painted. Town Clerk Annette Bowin said they only received one bid and it was too expensive. Scott asked if a crew of volunteers could paint it and if the town would buy the paint. Bowin said a group of volunteers could paint it and just notify the town when they would like to do it. Jennie Cain also spoke on behalf of Clark. Cain lost her husband to cancer in November and said Clark did a lot for them both before and after Billy died. She said Clark made sure her kids had Christmas and said that Billy used marijuana, getting it from Clark and it helped him eat while he was so sick. Town Attorney Carl McGuire also spoke on Amendment 64 while giving his report. The state has until July 1 to come up with regulations regarding this amendment. McGuire said there are so many issues regarding this issue and he said right now the board could either put a moratorium on it or ban marijuana totally. He prepared material for board members to look at and nothing was decided during the meeting. Gerry O'Halloran gave the sheriff's report and said right now Sheriff Larry Kuntz has no position on the amendment. Whatever the town and county decide, he will go by that. Commissioner Terry Hart said the county has issued a moratorium until at least July and they will see what regulations the state decides on the legalization of marijuana. O'Halloran said the inmate count was down in December, which it normally is and it was a quiet month. He discussed the high speed chase through town and also said another sex offender was arrested, because he failed to register as required by law. The board also approved a special events permit for Gamma Omega. The Ditzy Chicks are holding a benefit on February 16, at the Event Center. The board also approved the second reading of Ordinance 506, regarding the rezoning of the property where the new nursing home will be built. Hart said the commissioners have appointed Cheryl Kraich to take over the coroner's position until December 21, 2014, as that is when Darrel Brenner's term would have been over. They hope to have a new supervisor for the landfill this week. Some of the county employees have been to Loveland to talk to the architects about the nursing home, as Loveland is about six months into building a Green House in that city. Creative Energy Systems is the company wanting to recycle trash from the landfill to produce energy and they are hoping to be producing electricity by 2014. The commissioners held a meeting in Cope and it was so successful, they have decided to hold quarterly meetings in Cope. Joyce Kessinger talked to the board about the hours she works, as she is now a town employee. Kessinger will be paid for 20 hours a week. Kessinger works at the Akron Senior and Community Center and there are still two new spaces open on the board for the center. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Akron Senior and Community Center Board, please call Bowin at 345-2624 and talk to her about what is entailed in this volunteer job. The board meets once a month. The town and county have reached an agreement that the speed limit on Grand Avenue will be 30 mph and Public Works Director, Rob Hicks, said they will put up signs posting the speed limit as soon as they can. Hicks also said the town has ordered a trash truck and it will be here sometime this summer. Bowin said sales tax revenue was up in 2012 over 2011. Susan Watson gave the Akron Chamber of Commerce report and said she is still looking for a president for Chamber. When asked about the Christmas Giveaway, Bowin said attendance was down just a little, but that everyone felt it went very well. The next meeting of the Akron Town Council will be Monday, February 4, at 7 p.m., at Akron Town Hall.

Capital Markets Recap
Top Stories
There was quite a mélange of stories this week. They can almost tell a cohesive story. (Mélange is such a delightful word to say. It makes my mouth happy just to say it–every part of the mouth working together to produce a spoken delicacy.)
- Apple will begin manufacturing Macs in the U.S.
- Citigroup lays off 11,000; takes [another] $1 billion charge
- France issues 15-year bonds at a record low – the WR&O from 11.23 noted that Moody's had downgraded the nation.
Oh, and I neglected to include this delicious magazine cover from The Economist.
- Also according to The Economist, the U.K.'s ruling Conservative Party, "seems ready to embrace an EU exit," which the magazine thinks would be a "reckless gamble."
- According to the Wharton School, the U.S.'s deficit is much larger than it admits. "Knew that," you say, "Social Security, Medicare, off balance sheet stuff." Nope, this is about $7.5 trillion of stuff the government guarantees, from mortgages to student loans.
- Oil production in U.S. rises to 15-year high
Fiscal Cliff
- Some House Republicans back higher tax rate for wealthy
- Obama stands by demand for higher tax rates on richest
- White House rejects GOP plan to avert fiscal cliff
- Fiscal cliff negotiations deadlock over tax rates
- Fiscal cliff concerns ease among global investors. WHAT?!
Some are beginning to characterize the fiscal cliff like the cartoon below. We go off the cliff at the end of the year. Cooler heads prevail (i.e. Congress people realize they'll be up for re-election) and the cliff is fixed. It's being called the Fiscal Cliff Bungee Jump, but I like my Trampoline characterization better.
- T. Rowe Price joins scramble to launch ultra-short bond funds. (Folks tiring of money market non-yields.)
- Funds warn investors away from high-yield bonds. Both T. Rowe Price and Vanguard offer high-yield bond funds; both warning investors away from them.
- DoubleLine readies bank loan mutual funds. Like high-yield bonds, bank loans are loans to less-than-investment grade borrowers. They tend, however, to be secured and senior, making them a bit safer; their rates also reset, making them somewhat defensive in a rising rate environment. According to some fund companies, they are starting to see a rotation from the high-yield bond funds to bank loan funds.
- Opportunistic Jefferson National introduces products addressing the fiscal cliff. (Added as an investment in one of its variable annuity products.)
- THIS JUST IN. According to the Wall Street Journal, after an SEC Commissioner dropped his objection to the notion, the SEC is more likely to prevail with its proposal to move money market funds from a dollar-for-dollar to a floating share price. This is a BIG DEAL. Stay tuned.
This Week
Since this was the first week of the new month (December? already?) the markets turned away from the Fiscal Cliff Armageddon Countdown timer long enough to check out the Nonfarm Payrolls report that came out today. The report can be a bit confusing since it comes from two sources. The headline Change in Nonfarm Payrolls figure comes from the Establishment Survey, while the Unemployment Rate comes from the Household Survey. They are as they sound, surveys of establishments (call businesses) and surveys of households (call homes.) So the headline news was that 146,000 jobs were added. "Better than expected!" Then unemployment rate fell from 7.9% to 7.7%, but 121,000 fewer people were employed. How can that be?
Well, the establishment survey said that 146,000 jobs were added. A different survey is used to calculate the unemployment rate. The household survey showed that 121,000 fewerpeople were employed–sounds like unemployment went up. But, no, the number of unemployed went down, too. Huh? The unemployment rate compares the number of unemployed to the total Labor Force, and the labor force is made up of those working and those willing to work. That number went down by 350,000 in November; i.e. 350,000 people gave up and, thus, removed themselves from the labor force. So here's all of the math.
Employed, Unemployed, and Labor Force
Unemployment Rate
It looks like the unemployment rate fell by 0.2%, right? Not so fast. I faked out Excel by inserting that figure myself. Left unrounded, the number is less rosy, yet. If the change is unrounded, it comes out as a change of 0.13%. So, technically, the unemployment rate fell from 7.88% to 7.75%, or a drop of 0.13%.
I think that's enough detailed Economics for one week.

It came from the Blog: Midsummer Flamefest 2013 snapshots
First, we met in Brill, where the statue of the Dark Lady presides over all doings there. Then we went to the ruins of Lordaeron and took the portal to Silvermoon City. We rode through town, out the front gate and over to the fire outside Falconwing Square. After that, we headed to Tranquillien in the Ghostlands to honor the flame there.
We took the flightpath back to the city, ran to the portal, returned to the ruins and then headed to Silverpine Forest. Once there, we traveled to the Sepulcher where we again honored the flame and spun around in circles. Then off to Tarren Mill we went, passing inconspicuous bears as we went.

REVIEW: BenQ XL2720T Gaming Monitor
By Toby Lucas | Wednesday | 01/05/2013
I recently spent a good amount of time reviewing the BenQ XL2720T LCD/LED gaming monitor and I must say, as an avid gamer, I had a very difficult time giving it back. The large 27" LCD is sleek in design and abundant in added extras.

How to Listen to the Radio on an Android Phone
Music can be an impulsive thing, more often than not. Truly, for you to be able to listen to the proper song to match your current mood, your phone would have to sport one huge music library. Or perhaps not, especially when you can turn your Android phone into a radio.
Listening to FM radio with an Android phone
Several Android phones have the ability to pick up FM broadcast signals. Armed with the right app, you can use your phone to listen to the radio. It's a nifty trick, but not every phone comes with the proper software.
To see whether your phone can listen to the radio, look at the App menu for an FM radio app. Look for something starting with the letters FM.
The FM radio apps magically pull radio signals from the air and put them into your ear. Kids: That's the way Mom and Dad listened to music back when they were teenagers.
The FM radio apps require you to plug a headset into your phone. (If you forget, the app bugs you about it.) The phone's radio hardware requires the headset's wire to act as an antenna.
Radio apps scan the airwaves for stations, creating presets for you. Some of the smarter apps note your location and the station's call letters and maybe even their broadcast schedules.
Streaming music from the Internet to your Android phone
Though they're not broadcast radio stations, some sources on the Internet — Internet radio sites — play music. Your Android phone may have come with a few Internet radio apps preinstalled. If so, great. If not, check out these three:
TuneIn Radio
Pandora Radio
The TuneIn Radio app gives you access to hundreds of Internet radio stations broadcasting around the world. They're organized by category, so you can find just about whatever you want. Many radio stations are also broadcast radio stations, so the odds are good that you can find a local station or two.
Pandora Radio lets you select music based on your mood, and it customizes, according to your feedback, the tunes you listen to. The app works like the Internet site, in case you're familiar with it. The nifty thing about Pandora is that the more you listen, the better the app becomes at finding music you like.
StreamFurious streams music from various radio stations on the Internet. Though not as customizable as Pandora, StreamFurious uses less bandwidth, so you can enjoy your music without having to risk running up digital cellular surcharges.

A former police officer faces charges of stealing from the Coatesville Police Benevolent Association while serving as that organization's treasurer, authorities announced Thursday.
Gerald D. Pawling, 42, of Walnut Street in Coatesville, was charged Thursday with forgery and theft for a total of 59 counts, according to court documents.
Pawling was an officer and later a detective for the City of Coatesville Police Dept. for 17 years, from 1995 until his retirement in June 2012.
As treasurer of the PBA, authorities said Pawling had access to bank accounts and was responsible for submitting financial reports to the police union, officials say.
At a news conference Thursday, Chester County authorities said a review of financial records and interviews from witnesses revealed that, between 2009 and 2012, Pawling allegedly stole $46,509 from the association by misappropriating funds, forgery and other means.
Officials said Pawling confessed to the theft in a recorded interview.
They called him "a good cop gone bad," adding that he was "admired and trusted," and he used those qualities as a smokescreen to steal from his fellow officers.
Officials at Thursday's news conference said Pawling worked tough cases and brought great results, at one point earning an award for outstanding work handling child abuse cases. He was even a local sports coach.
And they said Pawling was treasurer for the police bargaining unit, which deals with contract negotiations, being selected because he was trusted to handle money.
But Pawling was apparently running out of money because he was living above his means, investigators say. His house had a deck with a pool and hot tub in the back, along with a theater screen and a popcorn machine. He also had a horse and a trailer for it.
When money got tight, the 42-year-old allegedly wrote checks to himself or his wife from the association, on which officials say he forged names of other officers and even misspelled his name. Some of the notations were about a magic show.
When a new detective took over as PBA president, a look at the finances revealed the money coming in from magic show did not match the accounting. Checks for about $20,000 were found to be going to Pawling, and the alleged scheme unraveled.
Officials say Pawling's wife was not charged, as she didn't know what he was doing.
Court documents show that Pawling used a bond to post bail set at $200,000 unsecured.
Pawling's attorney noted later on Thursday that he and his client "have been extremely cooperative with the District Attorney's Office since we found out about the investigation."
"What am I fearful of is that the past 20 years of service that Mr. Pawling has given to the families and kids of Coatesville through his police service and volunteerism in numerous community organizations is forgotten and he is judged merely by these allegations," attorney Daniel R. Bush said. "Nothing can take away those good works."

Using Testimonials, Endorsements and Online Reviews in Your Marketing – How to Ensure You Aren't Breaking the Law
by Caron_Beesley, Community Moderator
- Created: June 5, 2013, 1:39 pm
- Updated: June 5, 2013, 1:39 pm
Do you use endorsements or testimonials from customers in your marketing or advertising? Many business owners do. The power of referrals and quotes from customers can mean the difference between success and failure. However, you need to be aware of truth-in-advertising and endorsement laws. Likewise, if you use ask bloggers to write about your products, you need to be clear and transparent about your affiliations.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) oversees consumer protection laws in a number of areas, truth-in-advertising being one of them. So, if you intend to use customer quotes or endorsements from others to help sell your products and services, here's what you need to know to ensure you comply with the law:
All Endorsements Must Be Truthful and Not Misleading
What does this mean? In essence, they must reflect the endorser's actual experience and opinion. You also can't use endorsements or testimonials that make claims about your products or service that you can't back up with clear proof. We've all seen the ads that promise weight-loss miracles, often backed by quotes from customers testifying to their success. However, if there isn't scientific evidence to prove that this is true, then you are effectively misleading your customers. The FTC can hold both you and your endorser responsible for deceptive marketing practices.
Endorsements Must Reflect Typical Experiences
In addition to being truthful and not misleading, endorsements must reflect the typical experience of consumers who use the product – not the experience of just a few satisfied customers. If an endorsement doesn't meet this requirement, the ad must clearly disclose either what consumers can expect their results to be or the limited applicability of the endorser's experience. It's not enough to simply add a disclaimer like "Not all consumers will get these results" or "Your results may vary."
So what are your options? Well, if the endorser's experience isn't typical, then you can go ahead and use the endorsement, but you must have adequate proof to back up the results that the consumer claims to have gained. Alternatively, you must clearly disclose the results that people can expect.
Example: Let's say you manufacture or sell a product for which you want to make very specific claims – backed by a customer endorsement, such as a cosmetic wrinkle-reducing cream. Any quotes, testimonials or endorsements used must also be accompanied by a statement that clearly discloses the results that most people could expect in similar circumstances. And be specific: "Most users of this product saw a 50 percent reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles after using this product for 12 weeks." It would also be a good idea to have a link to any data that backs up this claim, such as a scientific research study.
Tip: Let's look at a real life scenario that many small business owners might encounter. Say you run a hair salon or landscaping business and you want to use a few customer quotes on your website – what should you do? Well, it's a good idea to get permission from endorsers before you post their comments (and an absolute must if you intend to post their names). Likewise, it would also be a good practice to check that they are willing to be contacted for a reference if a potential customer wants more information about their experiences. Before and after pictures are also a great way to back up the validity and truthfulness of any endorsements or claims.
Disclose Any Connections or Affiliations to Your Endorser
If you have any material connection with an endorser of your product, you must disclose it. So if you pay bloggers or affiliate marketers, or even give them free samples in return for a review, you must disclose that relationship. It's OK to use these endorsements in your marketing or advertising, but be sure to add a disclaimer. For example:
- Encourage bloggers or affiliates to follow the law by adding a disclaimer to their blogs or endorsements: "ABC Company gave me this product and here's what I think…"
- In your own ad, state the material connection you have with a paid or compensated endorser: "We provided John Doe with a trial product for review, here's what he had to say…"
What About Using Online Reviews?
Referrals and recommendations are an essential part of the small business owners marketing mix. Today, those reviews are increasingly part of the post-sales experience thanks to the popularity of independent online review sites like Yelp, Google+ Local, Service Magic, Angie's List and more.
But can you lift quotes from these sites and use them in your marketing? If you check the Terms of Service of most these sites, user-generated content (i.e. reviews) are the property of the person who wrote the review. To use these reviews without permission of the reviewer may infringe copyright laws. There are other ways, however, to incorporate customer reviews into your website. Consider the following:
- Add links or plug-ins to your website that take people directly to your page on crowdsourcing review sites like Yelp.
- Use third-party rating and review tools, such as Shopzilla or BazaarVoice, on your site so that consumers can review products post-sale. Don't forget to add a disclaimer notifying your customers that the review may be posted online and used for marketing purposes. By using these services, your reviewers are subject to Terms of Service, which often includes giving consent to you as the website operator to use and publish their reviews, as well as certain biographical information such as name, alias, or location.
Because these reviews aren't technically endorsements or testimonials and the reviewer has previously agreed to the Terms of Service, businesses (including many notable brands) often lift quotes from online reviews (remembering to strip out any biographical information that could identify the reviewer) and use them in email marketing, fliers and so on. If you have any doubt about the claims you may be making by using these reviews, consult an attorney.

ask customers or clients for reviews at the place of business
thegioinhacai | Window Shopper | 11/20/2013 - 12:14 am
sued or fined because of unverified reviews or testimonials they have used in
their marketing efforts. Unfortunately they usually call us after the damage
has been done... I suggest always using a 3rd party verification firm to
ensure that the reviews and testimonials being used are authentic.

I have been looking for an affordable, nice looking rug for a long time, but never really considered buying online. I feel in love with the Ruby Garden design and couldn't resist the price. It turns out buying from Overstock.com was an excellent idea. The rug arrived quickly, the colors are beautiful and the description was accurate. I am now shopping for a second rug for a different room on Overstock.com!
I wanted some color for my very neutral family room, and this fit the bill perfectly. We have dogs and kids, so I didn't want to spend a lot, or worry about what would happen to it, and for $***ish, this is perfect. The texture is woven like that of a kilim vs. a carpet pile, I was glad to have read the other reviews that pointed this out. That said, it's not rough or uncomfortable to walk on in bare feet. We have wood floors, and the rubber backing meant we don't even need a rug pad. Those of you with dogs also will appreciate the rubber backing - not only does that mean it doesn't shift when there are in-house chase marathons, but when our elderly dog 'christened' the rug within 10 minutes of my putting it down, it was very easy to clean up, and fabulous that it didn't go through to the wood beneath. Love this rug! Wish it came in different colors, i'd buy them all!
This rug is absolutely beautiful. The colors are gorgeous. Only downfall is it is a very thin rug and not soft at all. The texture is more of an outdoor rug or kitchen rug. The price couldn't be beat so it will work for me!
Loved the colors and the size. I did not want a pile because we have dogs and this carpet has tight woven loops and easy to vacuum. It has a rubber back and will not slide, but since it is not a thick carpet you will need to put down a good quality under pad to give it some softness.
In general, the rug is as described and will be a great rug in a kitchen. There are some areas along one edge of the rug where the rubberized backing is coming up through the surface yarn. I want to trim the protruding backing, however; I am concerned that it could make the rug unravel later on.
The rug is exactly what I was looking for. It is under my dining area table and 4 chairs. It fills the space beautifully and is easy to take care of. I would recommend it for a high traffic area as the rug appears to be very durable.
If you are choosing as a focal point for the room...I wouldn't buy this rug. I purchased it to go downstairs with the television and recliners. It gives a little life to the room, but is obviously an inexpensive rug. It will wear well and cleans easily (I have pets). The color is a darker red, not a tomato red as it seems to be in the picture. All other colors seem to be the same as shown. This would also be a good choice for under a dinner table.
This rug was among several floor covering options we purchased recently for our home. Although the intent was to use it in one of the bedrooms, the Ruby Garden rug is prominently placed in the living room. While you might think that the color description, Ruby Garden. is too bold, in natural light it softens. Further, under man-made light (halogen), the color seems more in the maroon spectrum. The point to all this is that contrary to expectations, the rug is not overwhelming and blends nicely with the furniture, etc. At this point, we are satisfied with the outcome. As far as wear, it's too soon to tell.
This rugs seems durable, which is great for us with children and dogs in the family room. The color is great.
Once upon a time, when I was young, I had a Red Olson Rug. I left it to be sold with the big house, as it gave the house distinction. Never did I forget the feel of that distinction. This Ruby Garden Rug brings the look, the feel, and its distinctively rich impact into our tiny house.

ROUND ROCK – Dell Computers, the largest private employer in Central Texas, has set a goal to have 50 percent of its global workforce working remotely by 2020.
Of the company's 14,000 local employees, 20 percent of them are working remotely or from home. That move saved Dell $14 million last year alone. But saving money wasn't the company's original intent, according to Dell's Vice President of Corporate Responsibility Trisa Thompson.
"We had a lot of greenhouse gas emissions reduced. It was about 6,735 metric tons of CO2 last year. These are estimates. There's no perfect algorithm to be able to measure exactly, but it's a lot," said Thompson.
Dell also believes it could take more than 7,000 cars off local roads and highways if the 50 percent remote workforce plan was implemented today.
"I'm just one of the people who really loves it 'cause I have a certain amount of time to get things done," said Kathleen Walker, a Dell marketing employee who works from home several times a week.
Walker lives 45 minutes away from the Dell office in Round Rock.
"It's also just a lot more efficient for me to be closer to where the kids' schools are. And just so I can also take the time and run up and do volunteering there if I need to, or have lunch with one of the kiddos. It's just a lot more convenient to be close by," added Walker.
When asked about productivity, Trisa Thompson says it's actually gone up with remote workers.
"People were hesitant at first to say 'Are people really going to work when they're at home?' And they do. Productivity goes up and it increases your recruiting and retention ability, and that's huge for every employer here in Austin. And at the same time it benefits our city," she said.
Dell Computers has 115,000 employees worldwide. About 14,000 of those live in Central Texas.

Walking and hiking comfort

Great line of products
Best socks available
03/07/14 | By Paul S .
Thank you Thorlo for the best socks on the market!!!
02/17/14 | By Scott S .
the best socks on the market, last a long time and I wear them everyday for work or play, hunting or fishing
Best socks for an active job!
02/16/14 | By Karen C .
In the past I have purchased and wore cheaper, lesser quality socks. This is precisely why I can sing the praises of these well designed, high quality socks. 1) They stay up. They do not slouch off your calf and wind up down around you ankles. The extra spandex through out the top is comfortable, not tight. It provides support perfectly. 2) They are long enough. They actually go up over your calf to the bottom of your knee area. They fit like an adult knee high. 3) They are fitted for your foot. 4) Your feet feel warm and dry. 5) I wear boots and am on my feet standing or walking on concrete floors about half of my work day. The moderate cushioning is perfect for comfort and support. 6) Day after day, wash after wash, year after year, the quality holds up. 7) I know these are great socks because when I wear them I don't ever think about my feet. I am just focused on my job. Excellent, excellent product. Thank you Thorlo!
Best socks for work boots
02/07/14 | By Joseph S .
With a 12 hour minimum shift I count on Thorlos' to given continuous support to my calfs and keep my legs from feeling tired.
Best socks for everything
01/30/14 | By June G .
I discovered these socks when I was posted to Zagreb with NATO, and needed new socks to wear in my combat boots. They are my favorite for every day. They have enough support that they stay up all day long, and enough cushioning that they make being on your feet all day comfortable without being too thick to wear with my usual footwear. They are pricy, but very much worth it. Keep making them in the USA!!!
Great Socks
01/27/14 | By Chris A .
Just what I expected...Very cushiony and warm. They dont run down your leg due to the spandex. Will definitely buy again
Good socks for shoveling snow!
01/26/14 | By Leonard H .
These socks are very warm and comfortable. I wear them whenever I am outside shoveling snow. Kudos to Thorlos.
01/19/14 | By Bernard H .
They are the Best Socks in the world. Number one!!!! # 1
They Work For Me.
01/17/14 | By Emmitt F .
I have been wearing WXGS socks for many years, now, and they are my favorite, everyday go to socks. The upper leg compression is just right for my mild varicose veins. I will keep using them as long as they stay the way they are.

- Fantastic! Review by Deli
Quality Price Value
I have suffered from keratosis Polaris for over 40 years. I used prescription medication and it helped but nothing like these products. I use all three in conjunction with my prescription medication and the results are unbelievable! I finally can wear sleeveless tops without being asked about "the rash" on my arms. The products are a bit pricey but since I use just a small amount they do last a long time. Thank you!
- Very Poor Results Review by Amy
Quality Price Value
I have been using all three products for over a month now and I have used all products as prescribed. I use the primer and lotion 2x per day, and I use the scrub once a week. My arms have actually gotten more red and irritated and I spend little time in the sun. I am so disappointed, because I truly thought this product would resolve my long-term problem of KP. I would not recommend this product to anyone!!
- Awesome product! Review by Colleen
Quality Price Value
My daughter, 11 has had keratosis piloris for years. We have tried everything from Cetaphil to prescription, AmLactin and nothing has really worked. I bought this trio a week ago and we noticed a marked difference after just one day. She has been using it twice a day for a week and couldn't be happier. This is worth the money and it works most importantly!!
- SO. AWESOME. Review by Anna
Quality Price Value
Allow me to preface by saving that I did not buy this specific item number... I bought the parts of the trio separately so that I could buy the supersized lotion. I just had to review the products as a whole, though: I have had serious KP on my upper arms my whole life, and this regimen took it almost completely away in LESS THAN A DAY.
I used all three items last night, and then the primer and the lotion this morning... There are still a few spots, but they are a much lighter color (slight pink as opposed to an angry red). And there are NO BUMPS at all. My skin is completely smooth.
It is quite pricey, especially if you buy the big lotion instead, but you really don't need to use very much (I used pea sized amounts of each product on each arm, maybe less of the scrub). It should last awhile, so I really feel like it's worth the investment.
I am never, ever motivated to write reviews, but when a product solves a super annoying problem that I have had for decades in less than a day, I think it warrants some special attention. Thank you SO much, DermaDoctor!!!

Beautiful new "Cortijo" style farmhouse retreat to rent on Almeria/Murcia border. Set in 6 acres of almonds, olive and fig trees. Spectacular panoramic views of the rolling Los Velez countryside.
Beautiful newly built "Cortijo" style house for rent on the Almeria/Murcia border - Sleeps 6 plus 1 infant.All rooms have high vaulted exposed timber ceilings and central heating. The windows throughout the property are fitted with mosquito blinds and have internal shutters and smoke alarms.Please note that smoking within the property is not permitted.Outside:The Cortijo is set in 6 acres of almond, olive and fig trees and has spectacular panoramic mountain views. It boasts a covered porch, huge terraces to the front and rear and a large gravel area for parking. The 10 X 7 pool is illuminated and has a poolside shower. Next to the pool is a purpose built BBQ with bar area, sink and power point for those al fresco evenings. The property and terraces are completely enclosed by white balustrade and natural stone walling and is accessed through double iron gates.Set amidst the rolling Spanish countryside, you can enjoy peace and tranquillity and almost total seclusion with only the birdsong to interrupt the quiet. You may want to climb up to the 14th century ruin which is a short distance from the Cortijo.Casa NeeNee - Local AreaLocation:The Cortijo is situated 7km from the town of Velez Rubio (and the motorway). Velez Rubio is a typical Spanish town with its narrow streets which boasts a host of shops, tapas bars and restaurants. In the main square stands the church of La Encarmacion, built in the 18th century, it is where most of the town Fiesta's start and finish. The town also has a museum within an 18th century hospital which is where you will find the tourist information centre. Here you can pick up guides to walks in the country, locations of the ancient cave paintings (3km out of town) and local events. It seems there is always a Fiesta on 'somewhere'. The market is held in the town every Saturday from 9am - 2pm and you will be amazed at the variety of fresh local produce on offer: fish, cheese, vegetables, olives, live snails, rabbits and chickens not to mention the colourful stalls selling fabric, clothes and shoes. Velez Blanco is a short distance away and well worth a visit. The castle which was built by Italian artists between 1505 and 1515 has been refurbished and is now open to the public. It stands at the top of Velez Blanco and is a magnificent scene at night when it is lit up.Lorca town is a 20 minute drive away and this is where you will find the larger shops and designer wear. A drive up to the castle is well worth it, you won't be disappointed. Don't forget the Spanish siesta between 2pm and 5pm and almost everything is closed on Sundays except on the coast!If there are children in your party, you may like to visit the water park at Vera or take a drive to one of the many beaches. A day out to the Moorish town of Mojacar will undoubtedly please everyone. Here you will find a lovely beach, scuba diving, shops and all of the history surrounding this stunning hilltop town.Casa NeeNee - Just ChillYou may just want to stay and relax at the Cortijo with a glass of local wine and hours and hours of sunshine. Watch the eagles soaring overhead and listen to the frogs near the water fountain down the track.A car is essential due to the location of the property and we will organise a 'meet and greet' upon your arrival in Velez Rubio. You will be taken to the Cortijo and settled in by our neighbours who will be on hand (at the bottom of the hill) should you require anything in an emergency. They will also take care of the weekly linen change as well as maintaining the pool.

Although you my be right, don't beleive any flat-out denial by VaTech. I beleive you've forgotten how they departed the Big East. Remember, they gave a "BIG" flat-out denial about leaving the Big East for the ACC. At the same time they joined the Big East in a law suite against the ACC. Shortly after that, they received an invit from the ACC and did an "about face"! They then dropped their name from the Big East law suite against the ACC & accepted the offer to join the ACC.
There are two kinds of denials in this world:
1. The non-denial denial. You know that one. "I love it here and I'm focused on the future," is what Coach X says right before he leaves for a better job. "We haven't talked to that conference and we like our current home," is what sharp school administrators say when asked about realignment rumors. Comments like that keep all options open.
2. The flat-out denial. There's no getting around this one. There's no room for debate. It's a hardcore "no." And the flat-out denial is what Virginia Tech officials keep using with regards to SEC chatter.
Earlier this week, a writer for The Roanoke Times claimed that after talking to "the most influential Virginia Tech person" he knew, he had decided that Hokie brass might listen to an offer from the SEC after all. (And this is not to knock on Doug Doughty who may wind up being correct.)
But over the next 24-36 hours, his story spawned a wave of "Virginia Tech is starting to show interest" stories.
This morning, we pointed out — again – that Tech AD Jim Weaver had already gone on the record as saying he would expect his school to "politely decline" an SEC offer. Three weeks ago he said the ACC is simply a better fit for Tech.
Well, now the flat-out denials are getting even stronger. In reaction to the "Tech's showing interest" stories, a spokesman for Virginia Tech's school president said the following in an email to The Norfolk Daily-Press:
"Total poppycock. How many times do we have to say it? If one of these rumor mongers, would be willing to cite their 'multiple sources,' it might lend some credence. Frankly, we're tired of other people telling us what our future is.
We are not interested. Nothing has changed. My president will not dignify wild speculation. Our last statement (from August 12th) still stands. Bottom line: this is not on our radar screen."
How 'bout them apples? (For the record, that statement of the 12th said that Tech had no interest in discussing a move to another conference.)
Look, if a person giving a non-denial denial changes his mind, he's got wiggle room. If a person giving a flat-out denial changes his mind, he's a liar. And here's betting Tech doesn't have big-league liars working as its AD and its presidential spokesman.
It's time to scratch Virginia Tech from the wish list, people. Also, judging by the fact that campuses from Missouri to Florida State to West Virginia are unusually leak-free at the moment, it continues to look like Mike Slive seriously over stated his league's attractiveness when he said in July that he could get "to 16 teams in 15 minutes."
If he does so, a whole lot of jaws are going to drop… because, for now, even reaching 14 schools seems to be a bit of a stretch.
Stay tuned…

Tethys Petroleum Limited announces third quarter 2012 financial results
Thursday, Nov 15, 2012Tethys Petroleum today announced its third quarter 2012 financial results. The results are highlighted by a 46% increase in production revenues over the third quarter of last year.
The 9 months period in 2012 has seen a substantial increase in oil production and revenue from the Doris oil field in Kazakhstan with a small drop in corporate administrative costs over the same period. It is forecast that both these trends will continue into 4Q 2012. On the revenue side both October's and November's average oil production figures have so far contributed toward the best quarter of oil production in Kazakhstan to date. October oil production averaged approximately 3,700 bopd and it is forecast that Novembers' production figures will exceed this number. These figures demonstrate the optimisation of the trucking operation in Kazakhstan is coming to fruition which has been the main restriction on maximum production to date, not the production capability of the wells.
On the costs side in Q3 the Company has initiated a review of all costs with a particular focus on administrative expenses. The objective of this exercise is first and foremost to review all areas with a view to reducing costs but particularly administrative costs, and secondly to review the categorization of costs to ensure that the Company is reporting consistently with other similar oil and gas companies, which will facilitate appropriate comparison within its peer group.
Some of these measures can be seen in a 22% reduction in the Q3 2012 costs over the Q2 2012 costs and in the 8% reduction against Q3 2011, but it is expected most of the effect will be realised in the quarters to come as this assessment and resulting action takes some time to implement. This cost reduction exercise does not in anyway reflect the growth prospects of the Company which, as can be seen from the higher production and revenue growth in Kazakhstan and the recent signing of the MOU for a Tajikistan farm-in partner, are very good.
The Company reports financial results in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
These highlights along with other operational and financial details will be further discussed in a scheduled conference call. Details of the conference call can be found below.
Conference Call:
A conference call will be held at 10:30 AM EST US and Canada and 15:30 PM GMT European time on Thursday, November 15, 2012. The North American conference call number is ((866) 202-3048) and the outside North America conference call number is (+1 (617) 213-8843). The conference call code to use is (32537707). Please call in about 10 minutes before the starting time in order to be patched into the call.

The Ontario International Education Opportunity Scholarship
Please be aware that the Ontario International Education Opportunity Scholarship (OIEOS) will be discontinued for the 2012-2013 academic year and onward. As noted by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, it was announced in the 2012 Ontario Budget that there would be targeted reductions across Ministries to meet Ontario's plan of balancing the budget by 2017-2018. As a result, targeted programs were selected to help meet this commitment.
"Since 2006-2007, the OIEOS has been well received by both students and institutions, making it a very difficult decision to discontinue funding. However, the Ministry is proud to have helped provide more than $16M in support over the last six years," Kenny Li Cheong Man, MTCU.
Over 6,500 scholarships were awarded to Ontario students to study abroad during the six-year period that OIEOS has been available.
Unfortunately there aren't awards available for every program. However we do have 'open' awards that are open to students in any program. In order to search for these, select 'awards open to all programs' under the program listing on the search page. You can narrow this search down by selecting your level of study, academic area or even campus.
The awards and scholarships website is constantly being updated. There are new awards with new expiry dates being listed all the time so be sure to check this website regularly. Don't procrastinate, because you might miss a deadline.
It is always a great time to start putting together your documents for awards and scholarships. Typically you will be asked to provide the following: letter of reference, resumé, grade reports, cover letter. It is a really good idea to be prepared in advance because the perfect opportunity might arise for you at any time.
Small details can make a big difference in whether or not your application stands out.
- Make sure your reference letters and resumé are of the same quality that you would use to land a job interview.
- Write clearly. Be concise. Check spelling. Ask a peer or superior to proofread all of your documents.
- Make certain your application and documentation address the specific requirements of the award.
- Ensure you have provided all of the requested information and attach all documents required to your application. Leaving off pertinent information by accident can result in disqualification.
The amount of time and energy you put into searching out and applying for awards and scholarships is up to you. However, the more effort you make, the better your chances of becoming a winner. And most importantly, don't get discouraged if you don't win. Make the strongest case you can, and simply try again.
