Sultanate of Oman
Ministry of National Economy
Hamed ALDagheishi
At A GlanceCapital: MuscatGeographical Location: Located in the farthest south east of the Arabian Peninsula and extends between latitudes 16o 40 and 26o 20 north and longitudes 51o 50 and 59o 40 east. Its western borders are with the United Arab Emirates and the kingdom of Saudi Arabia while the Republic of Yemen lies on its southern borders. The Arabian sea is on east borders. It overlooks two seas ,the Arabian sea and the Gulf of Oman. Area: 309,500 square kilometersLength of coast: Approximately 3,165 kilometersWeather: Hot & humid in summer, moderate in winterPopulation: 2,773,479 (Census 2010), with expatriates forming 29% of themPopulation density: 9 person per square kilometer
The growing interest and concern about the disabled group of the population, their rights and the importance of integrating them in society led to increasing demand for the provision of data pertinent to them.
In the Sultanate, the collection of data about the disabled is carried by the Ministry of National Economy, Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Social Development, through Censuses, specialized surveys and administrative records.
The Ministry of National Economy, however, directed concerted efforts for the provision of a database about this group among the Omani's Society by conducting three consecutive population census (1993 – 2003 – 2010).
- Since birth, illness, car accident, work accident , others.
- Area of difficulty.
- Frequency of difficulty.
- Period since start of difficulty.
- Period since start of difficulty
- Period since start of difficulty .(7)
Omani with difficulty reached 41303 individuals according to 2003 Census,
representing 2.3% of the total Omani Population.
The distributions of the disabled by gender shows that disability spreads among males by a slightly higher percentage than among females.
Disabled males whose number reached 23086 persons according to 2003 Census, accounted for 56% of the total disabled and 2.3% of the total Omani male population.
Disabled females on the other hand, reached 18217, or around 2% of total female Omani population.
It is worth mentioning that the negative aspects of the 2003 Census form, is that, the respondents have the option to choose the person who would be authorized for disability, in the sense that the question is not for every member of the family.
This may be a justification for obtaining a low rate of disability at that time
2010 Census included the following questions:
Does (X) suffers any difficulty/ disability in exercising daily life?
1. Seeing, even if wearing glasses
2. Hearing, even if wearing earphone
3. Walking or climbing up steps
4. Remembering or concentrating
5. Taking care of him/herself
6. Communicating in normal language
7. Movement of the upper part of the body
The number of disabled/those with particular difficulties among Omanis reached 62,506 individuals, representing 3.2% of the total Omani population.
According to the results of the 2010 Census, The distribution of disabled by gender revealed that disability was more spread among males than females, where their total number of disabled males was 32,787 (53.3%), while the females with disability reached 28,719 (46.7%).
The percentage of Males with disability was 3.4% of total males and the percentage of Females was 3.0% of all females.
It should be noted that an individual whose answer was (Yes) to the question about degree of difficulty: some difficulty, has a disability / difficulty , has not been ruled out of the total of those who have difficulty / disability because we have included the term disability in the question and therefore we expect individual who has simple difficulty does not have to answer the question, and therefore should be outside the circle of people with difficulty / disability.
Most important results in the area of disability derived from the 2010 Census (Cont.)Distribution of Omanis who suffer from difficulty/disability by reason of difficulty/disability
The new methodology adopted by the 2010 census for collecting data on disability which was based on the recommendations of the Washington Group for Disability Statistics, gave the gathered data more reliability which reveals more response and understanding on the part of the researched.
This reliability was more obvious through the spread of the rate of disability in the Sultanate in 2010 to around 32 persons per 1000 Omani population compared to 23 persons per 1000 Omani population in 2003.
This rate although less than the international rate which ranged between 50-80 per thousand population, but better than the previous index and close to the international index.
It's worth to mentioning that, the International Health Survey 1995 and the last survey of 2007 collected data on the difficulties faced by Omanis in the Sultanate but used different classifications which were incomparable with the disability classifications followed by the Census.

In brief: Weather delays beach opening
Fri., June 10, 2011
The opening of Honeysuckle Beach in Hayden has been delayed because of high water and low temperatures.
Initially set to open Saturday, the beach will now open June 18, according to a city of Hayden news release. Once open, lifeguards will staff the beach from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The boat launch is open to the public and the city has implemented a launching fee. Daily fees are $6 for Hayden residents, $8 for nonresidents and $15 for water sports commercial activity.
Season passes, which are sold at Hayden City Hall, are $30 for residents, $60 for nonresidents and $150 for water sports commercial activity.
Tasered driver had diabetic episode
A driver was Tased on Thursday for resisting arrest before police realized he was having a diabetic episode.
The incident started about 4:45 p.m. when dispatch got a report of a man driving erratically on Seltice Way in Post Falls – "slow, fast and all over the lane," said Post Falls police Sgt. Kathy Eshoo.
By the time an officer caught up to him, the man had driven over a porch and clipped the corner of a house, before stopping in the yard, she said.
The man did not comply with police orders and was Tased, Eshoo said. Then he began fighting with officers. They got him on the ground and in handcuffs, then realized he was having a medical episode.
"Within a couple minutes, it became evident he was not coherent as to what was going on," she said. "It appears he had extreme low blood sugar."
No one was injured in the incident, though the house did receive superficial damage. The man was treated at the scene. He was not arrested.
"He apologized to us for his actions," Eshoo said. "He had no idea what he had done."
Man arrested after North Side stabbing
A North Side resident on his way to work Thursday confronted a car prowler and was stabbed, Spokane County sheriff's deputies said.
Deputies arrested Benjamin A. Farnum, 22, for second-degree assault.
The resident reported that he was leaving for work about 5 a.m. when he saw a man looking into the windows of his vehicle in the 1500 block of East Center Street.
He challenged the man and then attempted to stop him from leaving in a pickup truck. The resident tried to remove the keys from the pickup ignition, but he and the prowler became entangled.
The prowler pulled a knife, stabbed the resident and then tried to drive off with the resident hanging from the vehicle. The vehicle went into a field where the struggle ended.
The prowler drove off, but his teenage passenger told deputies where to find him. Farnum was arrested at a home in the 500 block of East Columbia Avenue. The pickup was nearby, said Sgt. Dave Reagan, sheriff's spokesman.
Some state offices shut by furloughs
Before going to a state office today, call to make sure it's open. Some won't be because it's the last unpaid furlough day scheduled to help ease the state's budget problems.
Others will be working because their office or department has already met the targeted savings ordered last year by the Legislature.
Closed for the day are the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Fish and Wildlife, General Administration, and Services for the Blind. So are the Conservation Commission, Human Rights Commission and Transportation Commission.
Some state workers were exempt from furloughs, such as Washington State Patrol troopers, corrections officers, child protection workers and emergency public health workers.
Reward offered on eagle shooting
A reward of up to $2,500 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the shooting of a golden eagle in Asotin County.
Sometime around Feb. 1, the eagle was killed with a shotgun on Weissenfels Ridge, about 4 miles east of Anatone. Shooting an eagle is a violation of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
Penalties for violating both acts can include up to a year in jail and fines ranging from up to $100,000 or $250,000 per violation.
To report tips, call C.W. Roberts, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service special agent at (509) 546-8344 or (509) 727-8358; or Brendan Vance, a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife officer at (509) 480-0832. Callers may remain anonymous.

Yasmani Grandal acknowledged that he will most likely begin the season on the disabled list as he recovers from inflammation in his right forearm. The Dodgers plan to pair A.J. Ellis with rookie Austin Barnes as the catching duo until Grandal is ready.
"I think the main thing for them is they don't want me to go out and [reinjure] it," Grandal said Saturday morning. "So far, Barnes and A.J. have been doing a good job. Barnes has been swinging it real good. A.J.'s been catching real good. So I'm not worried about that."
He added, "It kind of sucks, because I don't want to start down [on the disabled list]. But we'll see how it goes."
If Grandal started the season with the team and experienced a recurrence that required him to be placed on the 15-day disabled list, he would have to miss at least two weeks. By going this route, the Dodgers can back-date the start of his stint on the disabled list to Friday and activate him as early as April 9, a Saturday, when the Dodgers will be in San Francisco playing their sixth game of the season.
Grandal said he hoped to resume hitting and throwing on Monday. He felt a twinge in his forearm on March 19 and has not played since.
"It's nothing that we have to be worried about," Grandal said. "It's not like there's any tear or anything. It's just literally inflammation. It's just waiting for that inflammation to go down. And the bad thing about inflammation is that it can go and all of a sudden come back."

In order to claim the title of its own Rosemary Corcoran Holiday Classic, the Bishop Ludden boys basketball team had to not only knock off a Class AA opponent, but a team whose coach was quite familiar with the green surroundings.
The championship game Monday night pitted the Gaelic Knights against Liverpool — whose coach, Jerry Wilcox, won 214 games from 1973 to 1987 as he led Ludden to six Section III titles and a state finals appearance in 1982.
With all that as a backdrop, the game turned out to be an exciting affair, decided in the final seconds as Ludden fell to the Warriors 54-53.
Once leading by as much as 15, the Gaelic Knights watched Liverpool rally and claim the lead in the fourth quarter, setting up an exciting climax.
Down by three, 54-51, Ludden pulled within one when Mark DeAngelis sank a pair of free throws with less than a minute left, and when Omar Osbourne made a steal moments later, the Gaelic Knights had a chance to win.
With two fouls to give, Liverpool used them both. Then, as the clock ticked down, John Rooney, quiet all night, took a jump shot from 15 feet out — only to have the Warriors' Richard Green block it. In the ensuing scramble, most of the clock ran out, and Liverpool regained possession to clinch victory.
Prior to all this, Ludden played, arguably, its best half of the season, roaring out to a 32-17 lead as DeAngelis struck for 10 second-quarter points (he finished with 17 points to lead both sides) and the defense frustrated Liverpool into all kinds of mistakes.
The Gaelic Knights were still up 40-30 when, late in the third quarter, the Warriors started to come back, taking away inside chances and forcing Ludden into low-percentage shots on one end while pounding it inside on the other end.
Liverpool went on a 20-5 run to grab the lead, only to have Ludden answer with an 8-0 spurt, punctuated by a pair of Tyler Young 3-pointers. Ian Hamm, with six unanswered points, pushed the Warriors back to the lead, setting up the wild finish.
All of Hamm's 13 points came in the second half, while Jesse Gates also got 13 points to earn tournament MVP honors. Adam Misener added 11 points. On Ludden's side, Young and Jared Littlejohn each had eight points in support of DeAngelis.
A night earlier, both first-round games had proven to be close ones. Ludden rallied late to beat Markham Prep (Toronto) 54-50, while Liverpool beat St. Joseph's (Staten Island) 60-55.
Both Ludden and Markham started slow, but the Gaelic Knights sneaked into the lead in the second quarter and still protected a 38-32 cushion with one period left.
Refusing to surrender, Markham fought back and took a 48-47 lead as time wound down. But Tyler Young, who didn't have a field goal on the night, sank a 3-pointer to push the Gaelic Knights back in front for good, and free throws from Rooney and Littlejohn provided the winning margin.
Dennis Kelly matched Rooney, each of them producing 13 points. Littlejohn and E.J. Beauford earned eight points apiece.
Before that, Liverpool overcame a 25-19 halftime deficit, seizing the lead by the end of the third quarter. The Warriors led by as much as 10, but still needed late free throws from Gates (who had 23 points) and Connor Rogers (who added 13 points) to hang on at the end.
With the loss in the final, Ludden fell to 5-4 as it hid the midway point of its regular-season schedule. It would stay home Tuesday to face East Syracuse-Minoa in its first 2010 action.

Despite all the apparent conservatism, is not a constant value. He transformered and also depends on fashion trends. If a strict and formal wear little resistant to change, in casual and semi-business style innovations are included, much easier.
The image of the modern office worker is quite blurred. The variety of activities of the companies, atmosphere in the workplace, management style, corporate culture and other factors determines the range of varieties of wardrobe staff and management. Most organizations and even government agencies adhere to the lax office style, if we are not talking about senior level. Modern women can Express themselves and at the same time to meet the business standards. Most importantly, when choosing the outfit to adhere to two criteria: decent and practicality.
Stylish business image will make sense of the harmony and compatibility of the elements. To save time and nerves in the selection of items for your office wardrobe help ready images, specially created by professional stylists with the fashion trends. Masters of Internet shop of fashionable clothes "Stylecity" has developed many variants of mini-images and total-look for the business woman. To look stylish and to comply with office etiquette in clothing now just.
How to build a good image
The basis for creating fashionable business clothing for women are dresses, pants and skirts. In contrast to the strict dress code the basic things should not be only in black and shades of gray. The color scheme can be chosen according to personal preferences and fashion trends. For example, in the spring and summer, a great basic thing are the pants a juicy coral color. Depending on selected shirts and accessories they can be the basis for discreet casual or casual Friday attire.
Skirt can be the center of attention or a base for other elements that highlight key points. Trapezoidal cut and a bright color to be combined with soft tones, so as not to overload the image. While nicely matched with bright accessories make the look fully completed.
The elements of a formal business style can also be an excellent base for a free office image. So, strict pencil skirt will balance such vivid details like colored shoes and blouse casual feminine shape.
Dress always emphasizes the femininity of the housewife, and therefore is only allowed in non-strict office dress code. It can be quite restrained, conventionally, replacing a business suit, or have a boxy fit, textured lines and bright details.
The optimal solution for the modern business woman on a daily basis to create a new image and not to spend the income mainly on the employee's closet, is creating a capsule for the office. Unique business offer fashionistas from "Stylecity" – selection of individual sets of clothing and footwear, taking into account preferences of the client.

I was recommended DialAFlight by a friend and the service was first class. They was so helpful when I was looking for a flight into USA. They found the best flights and connections at a good price. I was so impressed with the ease of booking the filghts.
Prior to the day of departure I was sent all the information that I needed and links to the airline to check-in on line.

Lebanese Suicide Bombers?
Here are the Top 10 reasons why Lebanese make lousy suicide bombers;
1. We are always late; we would have missed all the flights.
2. The pretty girls on the plane would distract us.
3. We would talk loudly and bring attention to ourselves.
4. With food and drinks on the plane, we would forget why we're there.
5. We talk with our hands; therefore we would have to put our weapons down.
6. We would ALL want to fly the plane; if they didn't let him fly the plane, I doubt Jarrah would have joined their gang.
7. We would argue and start a fight in the plane.
8. We can't keep a secret; we would have told everyone a week before doing it.
9. We would all have fallen over each other to be in the photograph being taken by one of the hostages. Hi mom!
10. We would have wasted time customizing the plane; Lebanese flag, "spoilers", "jante", picture of a religious icon or leader on the windshield…
That does not necessarily mean that the UNIFIL is "safe". Guess who's back in town?
Blogging may soon be bad for your health. Again...

"It's easier to fool people than to convince them
"Is the Obama administration losing touch with reality?"

Yes, Next Question

"Is the Obama administration losing touch with reality?", Mark Tapscott asks at the Washington Examiner. Considering that Barack Obama alternated posing next to Styrofoam Roman columns and uttering quotes such as, "We're going to keep on praising together. I am confident that we can create a Kingdom right here on Earth," during his in 2008 presidential bid, this administration and reality were never on very good terms to begin with. But as Tapscott writes, their relationship is much more strained these days:
There is an air of unreality about the Obama crew these days that became starkly evident last week with a letter to Congress from National Security Advisor Susan Rice seeking repeal of the 2002 authorization for the invasion of Iraq and White House press secretary Josh Earnest claiming Republicans are seriously seeking to impeach his boss.
House Speaker John Boehner and every other top GOP leader has denied it, but that didn't stop Earnest and the Democratic fundraising machine from insisting that impeachment is "part of their agenda."
Similarly, Rice claimed repealing the 2002 law is needed to "give Americans confidence" that U.S. "ground forces will not be sent into combat in Iraq" even though House GOPers were preparing to approve a resolution saying U.S. ground forces should not be sent back to Iraq.
But then seeing the Obama administration publicly weaving such fantasies isn't really surprising, considering they've argued for years that one half of one-third of the federal government is responsible for all of America's problems.
Aaron Hanscom, our lead editor and textual master of ceremonies on the PJM homepage asked me the other day if any president had checked out as dramatically from current events in my lifetime. I told that while it's a little before my time, the closest analogy that comes to mind is the Wilson Administration, which attempted to maintain the fiction that its namesake was still running the show after Wilson's devastating stroke in October of 1919, exhausting himself while attempting to pass the League of Nations. Wilson would linger on in office until being mercifully relieved by Republican Warren Harding in February of 1924 as a shell of a man; even Wikipedia notes:
[Post-stroke, Wilson] was insulated by his wife, who screened matters for his attention and delegating others to his cabinet heads. Eventually, Wilson resumed his attendance at cabinet meetings, but his input there was perfunctory. By February 1920 the President's true condition was public. Nearly every major newspaper expressed qualms about Wilson's fitness for the presidency at a time when the League fight was reaching a climax, and domestic issues such as strikes, unemployment, inflation and the threat of Communism were ablaze. Neither his wife nor his physician nor personal assistant were willing to assume authority to take upon themselves the certification required by the Constitution to declare his "inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office". This complex case became an inducement for passage of the 25th Amendment.
It took a stroke to effectively end the Wilson presidency; it simply took Obama discovering that the world and the Beltway are mean places full of mean people who keep saying no to him — to him! — the 'Bam Who Would be King for Wright's sake! — for him to take his golf ball and go home.
Counterfactual question for the day: Bush #43's second term wasn't scarred by impeachment, had no Iran-Contra-style foreign policy meltdown, and his administration had repeatedly attempted to warn of the dangers of housing bubble, but it fell on deaf ears at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Add to that, Donna Brazile's confession at CNN.com last year that despite her party's efforts, particularly by its operatives with bylines to portray things otherwise at the time for cheap (and ultimately successful) political gain, that "Bush came through on Katrina." And then add to that, as Bill McGurn noted at the Wall Street Journal in January of 2009 that "Bush's Real Sin Was Winning in Iraq." (A hard-fought victory that the Obama has worked very hard to successfully reverse-engineer. See also: Democrats in 1975.)
Given the low marks for presidential second terms, will Bush #43's second term come to be seen as one of the most successful second terms in modern American history?
Update: Oh, and speaking of 2006 and now:

Moe Lane adds:
I couldn't begin to tell you whether I was banging that particular drum, or not. I think that I was working under the assumption that the Democrats would use impeachment as a blunt club to make GWB back down from the GWOT, but I can't remember and I might have very well been well and truly certain that impeachment was on the table. That's not the important point. The important point is that this is what political fear smells like.
The only thing I remember from that period is quoting crazy leftists such as John Conyers, who never met a Republican he didn't want to impeach. (Because he's all about fighting corruption…) I wasn't too worried about the I-word actually happening back then.

Ryan til Tottenham
Ryan Nelsen er dratt til Tottenham og det kom sjokk på meg, Ryan har vært i klubben nesten like lenge som meg og jeg husker enda den første treningen han hadde med oss. Vi spilte på lag og han gjorde et skikkelig godt inntrykk, videre debuterte han borte mot Portsmouth i samme kamp som jeg scoret mitt første mål i Premier League. Ryan er en skikkelig godt kamerat og jeg kommer til å savne han både som person og spiller. Hadde det vært opp til meg så hadde Ryan blitt her hos oss, men jeg kan ikke annet enn å ønske han lykke til videre i Tottenham. Dette bildet tok jeg på reservelagskampen i dag og viser Ryan som scorer på corner.
I morgen er det duket for nok ett oppgjør mot Newcastle, og det blir den fjerde kampen mot dem denne sesongen. Vi var gode mot dem da vi slo dem ut av cupen på Ewood Park. Jeg håper vi klarer å spille nok en god kamp, og slå dem i serien også.

Cant believe the club has let Ryan go…especially if he was returning to fitness. Was a great player for Rovers, always gave his all and was a reliable defender. Mr. Consistent of the team for years
Good luck tonight..keep the last few performances going and 3 points would be brilliant

The way the club's owners have disposed of Ryan is little short of despicable. If you're in touch with him, Morten, please let him know how much we the fans appreciated him. He opened a few doors for me when I was in NZ last summer; Kiwis saw the Rovers' badge on my sweater and immediately wanted to talk about him.
Have a stormer tonight; let's beat thosse barcodes!

Hi Morten, Victor from Singapore here. It's such a shame about how Ryan has been treated after so many years of stellar service. While he has been injured this season, he should not have been shunted out like this. I'm glad he's gone to Spurs, a player like Ryan deserves a chance at the title run-in. In any case, everything about our owners have been absolutely appalling. In such dark times, I hope that you can rally the team and hopefully yourself, the team, the fans and the club can outlive the owners.

I'm gutted with this news – Ryan Nelsen and Brett Emerton are my two favourite players and now they've both left the club.
Like a few messages above, could you pass on our messages of how much he meant to us – i even bought a New Zealand top with his name on the back for the World Cup!
It's a shame I never got to meet the guy as he's my favourite player, but now he's in London I might have to pop up to North West London and see if I can spot him!

I can't believe that this brilliant servant to the club has been pushed out so unceremoniously. It would have been common courtesy to give him and us a chance to say goodbye.
If you are still in contact with him please give him my thanks for the pleasure he has given me over the years.

Blackburn Rovers have had some fine players in the last decade and Ryan Nelsen was one of them. I was lucky enough to meet him when Rovers came to Australia. His manager was a really nice guy too, I even scored a signed copy of his book. Rovers legend!

Met Ryan with the team at Faro airport a couple of years ago after watching Rovers in a pre-season tournament. He was an absolute gentleman and clearly had a lot of time for the fans. Add to that his proffessionalism and his comanding presence on the pitch and he will be sorely missed – he's a Rovers legend and one of my favourite ever players. Absolutely gutted that we didn't get the chance to say goodbye the way we did with Emerton. Wish him all the best at Spurs.

If I were to identify whom might be my number one influence in my artistic endeavors, it most certainly would be Dr. Seuss aka Theodore Geisel. While Walt Disney the man, not the brand is close, Seuss was a bit more of a rags to literary wealth success story, which for me embodies the American dream. He single handidly changed the way in which young people learn to read and in turn see the world around them.
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose." - Dr. Seuss
On this special day acknowledging Mr. Geisel, please allow me to geek out for a bit and share some of my favorite Seuss and Seussisms.
Welcome to my Embellishments Journal, it's a new feature. I will be posting about some of our projects, sharing pictures and interesting things. Chime in, ask questions and keep your arms and hands inside the ride until it comes to a complete stop. -Aaron

text: Savages' sudden blast upward proves that you should never underestimate the value of mystique. The London post-punk outfit has only been active since October 2011, but it's already amassed a substantial following among music journalists based on the electricity of its live shows. In early 2012, U.K. writers dished one grandiose compliment after another to the band, and as the group has begun making waves stateside, the wild flattery and excitement have crossed the Atlantic, too. Truthfully, there are a lot of good things about the foursome's output — the frantic and unpredictable vocals, the panther-bodied guitars, the noise rock undercurrents, the sense that greater chaos is looming — but perhaps the most fascinating aspect of Savages is how the group's aloofness has made it so captivating. After Silence Yourself, its debut record, arrives via Matador in May, it'll be intriguing to see how that reputation mutates.

we used flips with disposable inserts for a while until we ran out, then i got pampers because they are easier to get. I still have trouble remembering to buy diapers before i run out. the flips worked fine.
right now i am using huggies wipes because it was a pain to use the cloth wipes and the disposable diapers. The wipes dont seem to make a difference, ive used store brands, pampers, huggies and the cloth and no difference.
Today she woke up with red bumps around her mouth and the butt rash was worse even with the butt paste all night. I'm trying to figure out if there is anything food she has eaten that causes the rashes but i cant think of anything. Im also breastfeeding still (not much but some) so im looking at my own food consumption as well.

text: what are we upgrading? we are supposed to go to workshop buy the parts at mrp, pay a hefty labor and just get them installed on our cars. there is no special design involved thats done on these kits to fit old cars. its as simple as buying a new designed air filter , or say new grade engine oil or say a new bulb. Upgrade kit for old customers definition : " A specially designed kit for old customers, with specific stock, with specific pricing" here its a newly designed part, selling at MRP and is a common part that can be fitted directly on old/new car after paying a hefty labor charge too. Fiat is obviously not obliged to provide any upgrade and technically they arent. they are just trying to make this propoganda and selling parts at mrp and making profits, nothing else. just consider that they have not declared anywhere that its an upgrade !! What would a customer do? just walk into the TASS tell them my old suspensions need to be changed and pay the MRP + labor and get it on your car. we do this for many things during service. so whats different here? just a brainwash to think differently?

The Russian art of the second half of the 19th century was marked by critical democratic and social realism. In 1870, the cooperative was established for "Peredwishniki" (Wanderer) exhibitions, the exhibitions of which led realism. The influence of "Peredwishniki" on society, art and politics was great. In the case of artists who worked at the end of the 1880s until the early 1890s, the innovations are even more obvious. The impressionism of the Moscow School became a hallmark and remained – despite socialist persecution – until the end of the 20th century. Since the 1890s, the first features of symbolism were evident in Russian art (i.e. Mikhail Wrubel 1856-1910). Symbolism "russified" itself and acquired a national character.
Many painters also left their ateliers and painted in the open countryside. The landscape motif is traditionally patriotic in Russia. It should be a declaration of love to the home. The poetic beauty of certain natural states in the course of the seasons is imitated for the viewer. Furthermore, the artist must have an eye for effective moments. These include the state of the sun in the daytime, the dull moonlight for nightlife and certain weather conditions. The depiction of natural forces is a special challenge. In landscape painting, an intimate angle can be as attractive as the grandiose view of a vast country.
With the biographies on our site we present only a few examples of the artist whose paintings we offer. For a complete list, please contact us.

"WANTED" signs calling for help to catch people killing Holdfast Bay Council street trees are being stolen.
The signs were put up by the council last month after the poisoning of three young Norfolk Pines on the Esplanade at Somerton Park.
That followed a spate of vandalism the previous month when 16 trees across the district, most recently planted, were killed with poison or by sawing or snapping their trunks.
The signs were put up next to dead trees on the Esplanade, Eton Rd and Prior Rd in Somerton Park, as well as prominent locations along the Seacliff foreshore and by the Patawalonga.
Headlined "WANTED", the signs ask people to report any information they have about tree vandalism and warn of $5000 penalties.
The ones on the Esplanade and Prior Rd have been stolen twice and replaced each time.
Deputy Mayor Rosemary Clancy suspected people who had vandalised trees were also responsible for stealing the signs.
"I think people are feeling embarrassed about their actions and don't want them highlighted," she said.
Poisoned trees and the signs would be left in place until the planting season next year, she said.
"It's a good idea to leave them so people are reminded their rates are paying for these trees which people are killing."
Cr Clancy backed the idea of using CCTV cameras to catch tree vandals, which the council in August said would be a last resort if the vandalism continued.
Holdfast Bay city assets general manager Steve Hodge told last week's council meeting the attacks had since slowed.
He later told the Guardian Messenger he did not think the cameras would be necessary.
The council has had to replace about 50 new trees this year, at least 10 per cent of its plantings, compared with the 26 it replaced last year.
Each tree costs about $70.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota joined the ranks of 21 other states Thursday where marijuana is a legal medicine with a law that is one of the nation's most restrictive.
Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton signed legislation that sets up a medical marijuana program with tight controls over qualifying conditions and the way it is administered. People won't be able to smoke marijuana legally or access it in leaf form.
"I pray it will bring to the victims of ravaging illnesses the relief they are hoping for," Dayton said in a written statement.
The compromise bill upset some medical marijuana advocates, who say many people who need relief won't get it. But legislative backers say it is a positive first step that satisfied concerns of law enforcement and doctor groups. Dayton had said he wouldn't get behind a bill that those two entities opposed.
Medical conditions eligible for the treatment include cancer, glaucoma and AIDS. A physician assistant or advanced-practice registered nurse would certify a patient suffered from a qualifying illness.
If all goes as planned, the drug will be available in pill, oil and vapor form in mid-2015. Two manufacturing facilities and eight dispensaries will be permitted statewide.
The law sets up a task force to assess the impact of medical cannabis.
Dayton signaled earlier this month that he would sign the bill, but waited as his staff tried to assemble bill sponsors and affected families for a formal ceremony. A ceremony could still occur at a later date.

Le Caselle country house, with its peaceful environment, is situated in the middle of green olive groves close to the historic town of Viterbo, with a wonderful view over the surrounding countryside.
The building, dating from the 13th century, was originally used by the Dominican friars from the nearby church of Santa Maria della Quercia who worked the land. It now belongs to the Mecarini family, who have had it carefully restored to its ancient splendour following the guidelines of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage. The house is less than 15 minutes' drive from the centre of Viterbo.
There are seven comfortable rooms with ensuite bathrooms, a spacious dining area and a bar, as well as a large garden area in which to relax. Long walks can be taken among the olive groves and chestnut woods belonging to the property.
Le Caselle, open all the year round, serves a typical breakfast as well as an evening meal if required. The Mecarini family looks forward to welcoming you.

Simplest guide to creating a cold email list
For a lot of people starting off in SEO, web design, digital marketing, etc. their main concern aside from doing the actual work is "how do I get leads to work with?" or "where can I find access to a free email list I can send my cold emails to?" and those are quite valid concerns.
The good news is that, the answer is actually super simple!!!!
Now, I know we can get into a massive debate on the quality of leads, the type of business you want, the amount of money you'll need to make from these clients, blah blah blah…and we can get into that at a later debacle date, HOWEVER…if you don't have any clients and are just starting off, or need some kind of cash injection to make your cash flow barometer move, the bottom line is, YOU NEED TO HUSTLE YOUR FACE OFF!!!
This simple and mind numbing lead generation approach is more of a manual growth hacking spin. If you don't know how to use import.io or other tools, if you don't have any money to pay for leads, if you have the drive to do what it takes to get started, then this blog post is for you.
Here is a snapshot of an email list I harvested manually today in just over 45 mins for a total of just over 525 niche specific emails.
**Disclaimer: I know some very very darn good developers who can run this kind of scrape in less than 5 minutes and get 3x the amount of targeted email leads. BUT their tools cost money and my goal for you is to spend as LITTLE as you can and Hustle as much as you humanly need to!!!
Step 1: Create a Google Sheet : Mine is called "Local Cold Email List"
Google sheets is a great FREE tool to organize and use when consolidating your email lists. I like to create multiple tabs at the bottom and title it with the specific niche I'll be harvesting. In this case, I use "Mechanics" and created a tab for that as you can see.
Step 2: Go to www.usdirectory.com and type in your desired niche of choice to target
USDirectory.com will be the main source of harvesting for this particular tutorial. There are a lot of directory listing sites (such as Merchant Circle, Local.com, etc…However, the reason I chose this one is because, those other ones are good at hiding the email addresses. In this site, you can quickly click on the company, and it loads in another tab by default, so it makes it easier for you to load 10 companies in 10 different tabs…cut and paste, boom, bam, bingo!!!
Step 3: Copy & Paste into your Google Sheet and you're off to the races
And the last step, is simply cutting and pasting the emails into your google sheet. Done!!!
That's it, cut & paste, cut & paste!
If your entrepreneurial mind hasn't migrated into the realm of outsourcing yet, then wake the heck up!!! Because this entire process is built to be scalable. Although, I recommend you put your nose to the ground and hustle your way to getting your first 500-750 emails. But if you can spare $25 to hire someone through upwork.com to spend 5 hours grabbing emails and adding to your list, then do it!
The point is, this is a simple, growth hackerish, hustle-rific way to build a targeted email list you can now send your cold emails to with the goal of running your Video Analysis pitches to upon their response to your email.
In Conclusion:
There is NO EXCUSE for you to sit around and learn everything under the sun while NOT getting clients or making some kind of money online as a digital professional. Knowledge is power and I agree! But Knowledge with Hustle is power on steroids!!!!
I hope this gives you an easy and FREE way to start building your targeted growth hacking email list.
I know there are a bazillion ways that others are doing the same kind of things manually…I'd love to know what those other ways are! If you have or know of them, leave a comment below to share the love!
Thanks for reading, "Now go and do the same!!!"

Thanks for the info. I've played around with scrapers with little success. This is great as I have no start up funds but lots of time. Any future articles on email marketing/contacting leads?
Really helpful Blog. Thanks
when i clicked on the category/keyword to look up the businesses in my area, i wasn't able to click on them like your video showed. None of it showed an email address either 🙁
Good stuff.
What are those software you mention? I have money, I want to buy and scrape these leads myself. What is the best you've found?
Tim Backes
I think I have been spending way too much time trying to pick apart and analyze each prospect before reaching out instead of making a massive list like this quickly and working from there. It was taking me hours to get just a few targets before, which was why I kind of stopped. This seems like a much quicker approach I am going to have to give a try.

Just not feelin' well today! Got an LSS, KEMBOT early this morning. Not a good wake up song, watcha think? I checked my cellular phone, received "hi" message from someone. Guess, another not-a-good thing for early morning. The worse thing, I called my mum and she just told me that my nephew was re-admitted again at Davao Doctors Hospital. They do not know yet the findings. Its just that Didong has high fever ranging from 37-38 degree centigrade. One more thing which made my morning sickly was I received a refund from Paypal telling that the domain I brought (supposed to be for PMD) because as what have sent to me, there were a number of fraudulent requests/orders for the domain. For this week's MM, I wanna share to you this rockin' song..hope you guys won't feel the same as I do. Have a great week ahead!

MANILA – Actor Johnny Delgado passed away Thursday afternoon after a long battle with lymphoma, or cancer of the lymph nodes, his daughter said. He was 61.
Ina Feleo, daughter of Delgado and wife director Laurice Guillen, made this confirmation in a text message to abs-cbnNEWS.com.
ABS-CBN News reported that Delgado died in his home past 1 p.m. He was surrounded by his family when he passed away. Bibeth Orteza, Delgado's close friend, said the actor died peacefully.
Delgado was diagnosed with cancer in 2008. Early this year, Delgado assured that he was responding well to chemotherapy.
A healthy and strong Delgado even attended the birthday celebration of Sen. Jinggoy Estrada in February 2009. He announced there that he was in remission.
But, according to ABS-CBN News source, the cancer returned. Last week, he was brought to St. Luke's Hospital in Quezon City. He was discharged Tuesday.
Delgado, Juan Marasigan Feleo in real life, was a noted actor and writer. He appeared in numerous films including "Tanging Yaman," "Kailangan Kita," "La Visa Loca," and "Ligalig."
He was nominated several times in different award giving bodies.
Among his acting awards were best supporting actor for "Ligalig" in 2006 and best actor for "Tanging Yaman" in 2000.
The actor last appeared in Star Cinema's "You Got Me" opposite Toni Gonzaga and Sam Milby. His recent television roles were GMA 7's "Kamandag" and ABS-CBN's "Maria Flordeluna" and "May Bukas Pa." -With reports from Patty Ramirez, ABS-CBN.com, and Ginger Conejero, ABS-CBN News

It's Time to Compstat Corrections
June 20, 2003
Using a computer-based process called Compstat, the New York Police Department rigorously analyzes police data and makes local commanders responsible for public safety in their jurisdictions. In the same way, prison and parole officials should have to answer for the re-arrest and job-participation rates of ex-offenders, says Heather MacDonald (Manhattan Institute).
Parole headquarters should develop a Compstat-like system that would allow the analysis of parolee crime patterns and the data-driven comparison of parole bureaus (which are responsible for different geographic areas).
To be effective, MacDonald says, parole Compstat will have to measure recidivism according to re-arrest rates, not only re-incarceration rates:
- In New York state, for example, the parole department does not even know the re-arrest rate of its parolees -- or at least, it is not telling.
- But the re-incarceration rate is a flawed measure of public safety, since many arrested parolees are offered plea bargains for their crimes, which keeps them out of prison.
Parole Compstat, MacDonald explains, should also measure coordination between the parole and police departments. Has the parole officer briefed the relevant precinct about the parole conditions of recently released parolees, for example -- whom they are not allowed to associate with, where they are forbidden from going, when they are supposed to be at home? And has the officer responded appropriately when cops discover violations of those conditions?

Cardinal Luck plucks Ducks
Just one week after LSU's epic clash with Alabama, we get treated to another Top 10 showdown between Oregon and Stanford. And it's a safe bet this clash will not be a defensive struggle.
Both teams rank near the top of every major offensive category. Stanford averages 48.2 points per game (third in the nation) while Oregon's 46.0 ppg is fifth. The Ducks rack up 510.67 yards per game (seventh) just ahead of the Cardinal's eighth-ranked 505.78 ypg.

McCann gets qualifying offer from Braves; Hudson gets offer
The Braves made a one-year, $14.1 million qualifying offer to free agent Brian McCann, assuring they'll at least receive a compensatory draft pick if the catcher signs with another team.
As expected, McCann was the only one of the Braves' free agents to receive a qualifying offer before Monday's 5 p.m. deadline. Free agents have one week to accept or decline the offers; last year all nine major league free agents who received qualifying offers declined them.
The Braves have also made a one-year offer (not a qualifying offer) to free-agent pitcher Tim Hudson, whom they'd like to bring back at a salary significantly lower than his $9 million in 2013.
Also Monday, the team declined a $1.6 million option on veteran outfielder/pinch-hitter Reed Johnson, opting to pay the $150,000 buyout and making him a free agent. General manager Frank Wren said declining the option wouldn't necessarily preclude the Braves from pursuing Johnson later.
Hudson, 38, is recovering from the broken ankle that ended his season in late July, and could begin throwing later this month after having a surgical screw removed. Eight other teams have already expressed interest in the right-hander, who has 205 career wins include 113 in nine seasons with the Braves. He was 8-7 with a 3.97 ERA in 21 starts in 2013.
McCann will almost certainly decline the qualifying offer, as it's believed he'll command a multi-year offer worth $15 million or more annually for at least five seasons, most likely from an American League team such as the Red Sox, Rangers or Yankees. Ten teams have already expressed interest in McCann according to his agent, B.B. Abbott.
Any team that signs him would give up a first-round pick in the June free-agent draft, or a second-round pick if their first-rounder is among the protected first 10 picks. The Braves would receive a compensatory draft pick created after the first round, not the pick lost by the team that signs McCann.
The pick forfeited by the signing team is eliminated, thus condensing the first round.
Nine free agents including Braves center fielder Michael Bourn received qualifying offers after the 2012 season, when the amount was $13.3 million in the first year of the qualifying-offer system. None of the nine accepted the offer.
McCann is a seven-time All-Star and five-time Silver Slugger award winner, and the Georgia native is one of the most popular Braves among fans and teammates. The Braves aren't expected to make a long-term offer comparable to what some other teams will make for McCann, who came back strong after a career-worst season in 2012.
After missing the first month of the season recovering from shoulder surgery, he hit .256 with 20 home runs and a .796 on-base-plus-slugging percentage in 102 games, the seventh time he's hit at least 20 homers in eight full seasons.
The Braves have a mid-level payroll and younger, cheaper options at catcher including Evan Gattis, who hit .243 with 21 homers and 65 RBIs in 354 at-bats as a rookie while splitting time between catcher and left field, and cannon-armed prospect Christian Bethancourt. Veteran backup Gerald Laird is also under contract through 2014.
McCann has spent his entire career in the Braves organization after being a second-round draft pick out Duluth High School in 2002. He has a .277 career average and .350 on-base percentage, and leads all major league catchers with 171 home runs and 638 RBIs since the beginning of the 2006 season, his first full season.
The next-highest totals among catchers in that span are A.J. Pierzynski's 117 homers and Joe Mauer's 562 RBIs.

A cast of U.S. Olympic greats got the RNC crowd fired up during Thursday night's proceedings. Headlined by world famous skater Scott Hamilton and Mike Eruzione, the captain of the "Miracle on Ice" 1980 U.S. gold medal winning hockey team, the athletes trumpeted Mitt Romney's success in turning around the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.
As the crowd roared with chants of "USA! USA!", the athletes stated the case for making Romney our next president.
Then gold medal speed skater Derek Parra took the podium. Parra, a Romney family friend, relayed a story the former Massachusetts governor has used on the campaign trail. Parra was asked to carry the U.S. flag raised in the rubble of the World Trade Center into the 2002 Olympic opening ceremonies. Parra became emotional as he relayed the story.
"As the Opening Ceremonies got under way, the other flag-bearing athletes and I gathered backstage.
We were standing with the Port Authority Officers, whose job it was to oversee the flag.
They began telling us how proud they were of us – that the families of the victims were proud of us – that all the people who'd lost their lives would be proud of us.
When it came time to begin the procession, I touched the flag for the first time, and I remember a physical sensation unlike anything I had ever experienced. If it's possible to feel your soul being touched, then that is what I felt.
As we carried the flag out before the capacity crowd and a worldwide television audience, the silence was deafening. The flag, which had flown over so much pain and loss, still stood for life, love and the hope of our nation.
There are few times in any life when the emotion of the moment is all that exists. That night time stood still.
As our national anthem rang out – like never before – I stood there holding that flag, the symbol of everything our country had ever been through, with tears streaming down my face.
That moment came under the leadership of Mitt Romney and it not only inspired me, but it inspired all of Team USA, and we went on to win a record number of medals.
Today our country is struggling. But the right leaders can inspire us to push on, to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges and to accomplish great things.
Mitt Romney is that kind of leader. Thank you and God bless!"

Detroit once stood tall and proud. A blue collar boomtown. A towering industrial center. The automobile capital of the world. Today, Detroit struggles to hold its footing – banged, bruised and nearly bankrupt after a decades-long trend of declining population, shrinking revenue and a plethora of other challenges that plague many of our nation's urban centers.
Detroit's rebirth demands difficult choices by civic leaders, and the vigorous involvement of an engaged citizenry that is well informed about the social and political issues that affect our lives. Neither Detroit's elected officials nor its citizens can relieve the city's distress by working in isolation. Instead, stakeholders at both ends of this spectrum must work together to create real solutions for our future.
CitizenDetroit involves a new kind of political conversation that challenges citizens to think as policy makers and to help develop strategies for Detroit's recovery, reconstruction and renaissance. Detroit's current reality of scarce resources and immense challenges requires innovative ways to solve our problems. Left to fend for ourselves, leaders and citizens alike stand on the edge of Detroit's uncertain future – unsure of what to do next. Maybe you have the answers.

My stay at MRI this time was absolutely abysmal. I am a renal patient at this hospital and the service is normally good, however I had the misfortune of staying in ward 7 the cardiovascular ward. I wasn't given a correct renal diet, and wasn't given my correct medication the time I stayed there. Some of the nurses were good, others not. I certainly won't be staying in ward 7 again.
