I tried purchasing some shoes yesterday. I completed my payment details and verified by VISA and an error appeared. I then tried to purchase them again and got the same message so give up. I then tried to purchase the same shoes again today and tried to pay of my friends card and again received the same error message, however the money has been taken out of both of our accounts. I have been debit for two orders that I have not placed, and this was yesterday and the funds are still not back in my bank account, and my friend has also been debited for the order that has not gone through. Disgusting!!

The Acts of the Apostles, chapter 27, Vulgate and King James Version
1 Ut autem iudicatum est na vigare nos in Italiam, tradiderunt et Paulum et quosdam alios vinctos centurioni nomine Iulio, cohortis Augustae.
2 Ascendentes autem navem Hadramyttenam, incipientem navigare circa Asiae loca, sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi;
3 sequenti autem die, devenimus Sidonem, et humane tractans Iulius Paulum permisit ad amicos ire et curam sui agere.
4 Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimus Cypro, propterea quod essent venti contrarii;
5 et pelagus Ciliciae et Pamphyliae navigantes venimus Myram, quae est Lyciae.
6 Et ibi inveniens centurio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam transposuit nos in eam.
7 Et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus et vix devenissemus contra Cnidum, prohibente nos vento, subnavigavimus Cretae secundum Salmonem;
8 et vix iuxta eam navigantes venimus in locum quendam, qui vocatur Boni Portus, cui iuxta erat civitas Lasaea.
9 Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum iam non esset tuta navigatio, eo quod et ieiunium iam praeterisset, monebat Paulus
10 dicens eis: "Viri, video quoniam cum iniuria et multo damno non solum oneris et navis sed etiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio".
11 Centurio autem gubernatori et nauclero magis credebat quam his, quae a Paulo dicebantur.
12 Et cum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum, plurimi statuerunt consilium enavigare inde, si quo modo possent devenientes Phoenicen hiemare, portum Cretae respicientem ad africum et ad caurum.
13 Aspirante autem austro, aestimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent, propius legebant Cretam.
14 Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus typhonicus, qui vocatur euroaquilo;
15 cumque arrepta esset navis et non posset conari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur.
16 Insulam autem quandam decurrentes, quae vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham,
17 qua sublata, adiutoriis utebantur accingentes navem; et timentes, ne in Syrtim inciderent, submisso vase, sic ferebantur.
18 Valide autem nobis tempestate iactatis, sequenti die iactum fecerunt
19 et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis proiecerunt.
20 Neque sole autem neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies, et tempestate non exigua imminente, iam auferebatur spes omnis salutis nostrae.
21 Et cum multa ieiunatio fuisset, tunc stans Paulus in medio eorum dixit: "Oportebat quidem, o viri, audito me, non tollere a Creta lucrique facere iniuriam hanc et iacturam.
22 Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse, nulla enim amissio animae erit ex vobis praeterquam navis;
23 astitit enim mihi hac nocte angelus Dei, cuius sum ego, cui et deservio,
24 dicens: "Ne timeas, Paule; Caesari te oportet assistere, et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes, qui navigant tecum".
25 Propter quod bono animo estote, viri; credo enim Deo, quia sic erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi.
26 In insulam autem quandam oportet nos incidere".
27 Sed posteaquam quarta decima nox supervenit, cum ferremur in Hadria, circa mediam noctem suspicabantur nautae apparere sibi aliquam regionem.
28 Qui submittentes bolidem invenerunt passus viginti; et pusillum inde separati et rursum submittentes invenerunt passus quindecim;
29 timentes autem, ne in aspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes ancoras quattuor optabant diem fieri.
30 Nautis vero quaerentibus fugere de navi, cum demisissent scapham in mare sub obtentu, quasi a prora inciperent ancoras extendere,
31 dixit Paulus centurioni et militibus: "Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri non potestis".
32 Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphae et passi sunt eam excidere.
33 Donec autem lux inciperet fieri, rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum dicens: "Quarta decima hodie die exspectantes ieiuni permanetis nihil accipientes;
34 propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum, hoc enim pro salute vestra est, quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit".
35 Et cum haec dixisset et sumpsisset panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium et, cum fregisset, coepit manducare.
36 Animaequiores autem facti omnes et ipsi assumpserunt cibum.
37 Eramus vero universae animae in navi ducentae septuaginta sex.
38 Et satiati cibo alleviabant navem iactantes triticum in mare.
39 Cum autem dies factus esset, terram non agnoscebant; sinum vero quendam considerabant habentem litus, in quem cogitabant, si possent, eicere navem.
40 Et cum ancoras abstulissent, committebant mari simul laxantes iuncturas gubernaculorum et, levato artemone, secundum flatum aurae tendebant ad litus.
41 Et cum incidissent in locum dithalassum, impegerunt navem; et prora quidem fixa manebat immobilis, puppis vero solvebatur a vi fluctuum.
42 Militum autem consilium fuit, ut custodias occiderent, ne quis, cum enatasset, effugeret;
43 centurio autem volens servare Paulum prohibuit eos a consilio iussitque eos, qui possent natare, mittere se primos et ad terram exire
44 et ceteros, quosdam in tabulis, quosdam vero super ea, quae de navi essent; et sic factum est ut omnes evaderent ad terram.
King James Version
1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.
2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
26 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.

When I first open a Beverly Jenkins novel, I'm giddy with anticipation. Because I know the woman is a queen among queens with historical romance. And when I finish, I'm two-thirds satiated and one-third frustrated…because she leaves the reader hanging. Yes, Ms. Jenkins…teasing us about the next book in the series is cruel and delicious all at the same time. And as readers of my reviews know, I'm not always the most patient when it comes to waiting for my favorite authors to release their next gem of a novel.
So...Breathless. This book has everything. A yummy hero who has overcome some flaws of his past? Check. A gorgeous woman who gets more revved up looking at numbers and balancing budgets than with the idea of marrying? Check. A believable courtship that leaves the reader flying through the pages? Check. Drama causing our leads to persevere rather than fold? Check.
It's been years since Portia Carmichael has seen Kent Randolph. The former bartender for her Uncle Rhine, Kent eventually arrives looking for work at the location of Rhine Fontaine's new ranch. Fifteen years have passed since Kent worked for Rhine. And for a shy twelve year-old girl, eighteen year-old Kent was larger than life. Back then, six years was a big age-spread. Now? Six years is hardly worth mentioning. Moverover, Portia has no misgivings about her future and love. She's past the stage of silly girl crushes and vows she'll never fall in love, not after what she saw love do to her mother. Portia wants nothing to do with prostitution—her mother's occupation. Portia's an educated woman now, determined to safeguard her heart.
Until Kent Randolph strolls into town. And ladies, I keep picturing Idris Elba in his thirties. And let's face it, none of us would be able to resist that kind of charm and good looks (pardon while I wipe my drool). It's no wonder that simple things, like Kent sipping water, make Portia's insides churn.
He raised the jug and took a long drink. A trickle of the water slid down the corner of his mouth and Portia, struck by the urge to lap it up, unconsciously ran her tongue over her lips.
"Do you want some, Duchess?"
The correct answer is yes, yes, and yes. But our heroine is stubborn and unsettled by the feelings arising anytime Kent is visible. Hell, even when he's within audible distance. A true bluestocking, Portia decides the only way to rid herself of these new feelings is to kiss him and get it over and done with. Then, she'll be able to move on.
Maybe if she asked him to kiss her, it would feed her attraction enough to bring about a cure for what ailed her. Lord knew she needed one because she'd never wanted to lick a man's mouth before in her life.
But with anything that is fine, we yearn for more. And Kent is FINE. He's caring, attracted to Portia's brain as well as her loveliness, he's smart, hard working, and he's learned some hard lessons in life. In short, he just might be my new book boyfriend.
Later, alone in her room, Portia paced. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't rid herself of the memory of her first kiss. He'd made her so breathless, it was a wonder she'd been able to mount Arizona and ride home. And Lord help her, she wanted more. A hundred times more. More of his palm moving over her spine, more of his hard body against her soft one, more of his seeking tongue.
And huzzah, we do get more. Lots more. Bonus, Ms. Jenkins always inserts historical gems in her book, based on real people, places, and movements. For further reading, we are given links and names and places to explore to keep us occupied until Regan's book graces our shelves or takes up some of our electronic memory.

Solid Educational Experience, but...
As always, Pimsleur materials are high quality and well structured. Phase 4 introduces a more conversational grasp of the past and future tenses, as well as personal interaction beyond, "I like to play tennis. Do you like to play tennis?" I recommend it for anyone looking to speak and understand Italian.
But also as always, the program will stress new words, like "sito del web," spending a lot of time sounding out "see-toh, see-toh del, see-toh del web," while completely ignoring all the little words that run together to create that real conversational tone. I think most Italians would understand the words website and blog, even if you just said them straight out in English. It's all the "dellas" and "L'ho me hanno dettos" that are sped over. Also, although it's antithetical to Pimsleur's method, a written guide would be nice.
With the Pimsleur method, you really can't go wrong. I've used it for French and Hindi, and native speakers of both languages have praised my pronunciation and grammar (disclosure, I learned French when I was little, and I did a lot of extra Hindi reading and learning beyond Pimsleur). If you combine Byki, Pimsleur and daily reading in the language, you'll be proficient in no time. While I speak Portuguese and French, Italian has been hard to master for a number of reasons--first, it's hard to believe that the language actually sounds like you think it does--my fave quote from Phase 4 is "La nostra mostra ha un piccolo problemma." Second, it is so reflexive that unless you really understand the mechanics of grammar (which I don't, despite my love of speaking different languages), it's easy to get lost in conjugation. And that's one major reason to use Pimsleur. Instead of trying to memorize 501 Italian Verbs and their conjugations, just learning what to say is totally worthwhile.

Kee hat-trick sinks Faroes
Captain Billy Kee scored a hat-trick as Northern Ireland's Under-21s eased to a 4-0 victory over the Faroe Islands.
Last Updated: 10/08/11 4:28pm
Captain Billy Kee scored a hat-trick as Northern Ireland's Under-21s eased to a 4-0 victory over the Faroe Islands in their Euro 2013 qualifier at The Oval.
Steve Beaglehole's side were held to a disappointing goalless draw by the same opponents in their Group 4 opener, but got their campaign going with a solid performance.
Torquay striker Kee, who had not scored in six appearances before Wednesday, opened his account with a fine first-time effort in the 24th minute, before drilling in a low shot from just outside the area three minutes later.
Strike partner Josh Magennis of Aberdeen made it three after half an hour, showing good control to turn his man and convert from six yards.
After the interval, Kee missed an open goal from the edge of the box before tucking home from close range to complete his hat-trick.
The impressive James Knowles of Blackburn hobbled off injured before the whistle, leaving Northern Ireland with 10 men after using all three substitutes.

functional dissection of MTf in epithelial junction assembly and morphogenesis
Melanotransferrin is a serological marker of colorectal cancer by secretome analysis and quantitative proteomics.
PC3 (show PCSK1 Proteins) tumors are sustained by a small number of tumor-initiating cells with stem-like characteristics, including strong self-renewal and pro-angiogenic capability and marked by the expression pattern FAM65Bhigh/MFI2low/LEF1low.
The human genome contains a second melanotransferrin gene (MTf2 (show MTF2 Proteins)). There are two isoforms of melanotransferrin.
its ability to donate 59Fe to SK-Mel (show RAB8A Proteins)-28 melanoma cells and other cell types
This melanoma-associated (show ZNF654 Proteins) marker was detected in melanoma cell lines.
membrane-bound and soluble p97 (show EIF4G2 Proteins) affect the migration capacity of endothelial and melanoma cells and suggest that p97 (show EIF4G2 Proteins) could be involved in the regulation of plasminogen (show PLG Proteins) activation by interacting with pro-uPA (show PRAP1 Proteins) and plasminogen (show PLG Proteins).
Serum melanotransferrin exists in various conformations depending on the binding of bivalent cations or following post-translational modification; serum melanotransferrin levels are unchanged in subjects with Alzheimer's disease.
The distribution of MTf and its splice variants may provide clues to their possible biological roles in melanoma and other tumors.
melanotransferrin has a role in cell proliferation and tumorigenesis
Anti-angiogenic properties of soluble melanotransferrin may result from local overstimulation of plasminogen (show PLG Proteins) activation by tissue plasminogen activator (show PLAT Proteins), thus leading to subsequent degradation of the fibronectin (show FN1 Proteins) matrix and endothelial cell detachment.
MTf represents the first identification of a plant lectin receptor involved in cell-shape changes and the differentiation of animal cells
Iron indices, tissue levels, hematology, and serum chemistry parameters demonstrated no differences between metallototransferrin deficient and wild-type mice, suggesting MTf was not essential for iron metabolism.
The protein encoded by this gene is a cell-surface glycoprotein found on melanoma cells. The protein shares sequence similarity and iron-binding properties with members of the transferrin superfamily. The importance of the iron binding function has not yet been identified. This gene resides in the same region of chromosome 3 as members of the transferrin superfamily. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants.

As most of you know from first hand experience the CIO's job is changing; perhaps more rapidly and more radically than any other executive's job ever. Like the PC, which spawned a revolution in the way the world works and communicates, the technology supporting businesses the world over has dramatically transformed the way companies work and communicate. At the helm of this change is the CIO.
While most of these infrastructure layers are still in place (nothing in IT really ever goes away) there are yet again many more newer layers stacked on top of the old. But these newer layers, with a little cajoling and some elbow grease on the part of IT, do interact and play well together. This has enabled IT to support the business in new, truly innovative ways by connecting with and connecting to customers, suppliers, partners and vendors in ways never before imagined.
But, like all new and disruptive changes, these take time and often happen in fits and starts. IT today, and therefore the CIO, are in the midst of this change trying to orchestrate a bevy of often conflicting technologies while balancing the business metrics of cost and risk. If this is not enough, today's most successful CIOs understand that IT is not longer about IT, it is about business.
To be successful, therefore, today's CIOs must be chameleons. They must, on the one hand, be technologically savvy so they know the art of the possible, while, on the other, they must be deeply knowledgeable about the industry in which they find themselves if they are to have impact as innovatorssomething many businesses are demanding of them today.
To get a better understanding of these changes and where we are today on the timeline, CIOUpdate is continuing its series of Q&As with CIOs that are doing their best to juggle all of these changes and still have a positive impact as innovators and businesspeople, not just technologists.
In the beginning of April, I got Century Insurance CIO Doug Bond on the phone to talk about all of this and how, as the CIO of $260M specialty lines insurance carrier in the midst of merger, he is coping. What I found out wasn't so much surprising as enlightening.
At the time of his hiring in 2005, Bond had been a consulting at Century on their business intelligence initiatives. He liked the people he came into contact and liked management's view of the role technology could play in expanding their business. When it came time to sit down and talk, Bond made sure they understood two things: having worked in the industry since the 1980s he knew a lot about the business and he was not at all interested in being an order taker.
They agreed. They were looking for someone just like him. Someone who could take a "seat at the table" (to use an overworked expression) and participate in the strategic business decisions that had to made if the company was to continue growing. Bond was able to do this because, early in his career, he picked an industry to work in as an IT professional. Not the other way around. Knowledge of technology was table stakes. Knowing the insurance industry is what made the difference and positioned Bond to gain equal status as a C-suite executive.
"(Your knowledge) has to industry-specific," said Bond. "It's not just business in general. I think one of the things that has benefited me here is being able to understand the industry to the point that (the powers that be) recognize you know what you are talking about and involve you in those discussions.
"I've been with a lot of IT when I was doing consulting where that wasn't the case. And I think to a large extent, when you have those executive staff meetings and if you're just sitting there and absorbing and listening, those are the kind of things that lead to what you read a lot about today where the CIO is reporting to the CFO. You're kind of minimalized in terms of 'Well, if you don't really understand the business you can't really help us in terms constructing strategy and constructing solutions that are going to make us better.'"

"Brilliant diabetic podiatry"
About: Locala Community Partnerships CIC / Podiatry Locala Community Partnerships CIC Podiatry Batley WF17 5PW
Posted by DewsburyPete (as ),
Suffering from neuropathy, I have to watch my feet carefully. I could injure them without knowing, and cause all sorts of nasty injuries.
I had a problem with some swelling under my heel, and phoned for advice. I was asked to attend at 8:00 the following morning, and it was dealt with immediately. The staff examined it, carefully excised the hard skin, and described how it could have happened.
Since then, I've had a couple of follow-up appointments, where they knew all about it, and examined it carefully before discussing various remedies and strategies for avoiding a recurrence. The focussed attention of Locala's diabetc podiatry team, and their new IT set-up has enabled them to be very clearly focussed, and fully aware of my problems, without me having to spend long times giving a history every time I see them.
They can concentrate on the therapy, rather than the paperwork - brilliant.
Response from Paul Rhys-Vivian, Team Leader, Podiatry, Locala CIC 3 years ago
Thank you DewsburyPete for your comments, they are much appreciated.
Our new IT set-up has really revolutionised the way we work - we always have the patient's records available and so it is easy to see if anything has changed with their medical history and what treatments the patient has had, even if a colleague had seen them. As you said, as a patient you too have felt the benefit of the new system - allowing staff to "concentrate on the therapy, rather than paperwork"
We are pleased you are happy with our service

On Saturday I attended a training event in Leeds organised by Stampin' Up! and as usual when demonstrators gather we like to share our ideas and swap cards and projects.
I used the new hostess exclusive stamp set Pedal Presents from the summer Mini Catalogue. The image was coloured with Stampin' Up! marker pens, background clouds are sponged lightly in Bashful Blue ink using a scrap punched from a scallop circle punch, I spritzed the ground below the bike to give a light textured finish. I used the Framelits die to cut the stamped image out and added a strip of embossed hearts with an Adorning Accent embossing folder (this is from a set of 3).

Senate refuses abortion rights for rape victims in the militaryQuicklink submitted By Amanda Lang Permalink
Become a Fan
(9 fans)
|In addition to turning America into a warzone and allowing indefinite torture and detainment for US citizens, Congress this week decided that women raped while serving their country won't be provided coverage for abortions.
The military, it turns out, is pro-life.
Despite one-in-three women in the military saying they've been sexually assaulted while serving their country, the Senate decided to skip over voting for an amendment which would have allowed rape victims coverage for abortion. While civilians employed by the US government are given such protection, coverage is not granted in the US military. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) hoped to change that with an amendment tacked on to the National Defense Authorization Bill, but on Wednesday the Senate decided to move pass the legislation without bringing it up for vote.

Discussion in 'Racquets' started by sugarmelts1212, Mar 5, 2005.
Looking for a prince thunderlite 110, maybe even 2. anyone interested , let me know.
I have three of them. I'm thinking about getting new rackets, but the thing is I actually play well with them. However, it's not like I've played with anything else in the past 5 years so how would I know?
The grip is 4 - 1/4, I think. Built up with Tournagrip (to about 4 3/8 or 4 1/2).
I've got one just sitting in my bag.....it's either a 1/2 or 3/8's grip. I have a sony digital camera. I'm not very good at sending pictures..I could give a shot if your interested. Oopps! this is a "longbody 110". Is that what your looking for?

According to the Free Management Library, a code of conduct is important because it promotes moral behavior, acts as a guideline for ethical decision making, enhances the reputation of an organization, prevents negative legal effects, encourages positive relationships, acts as a reference for solving ethical dilemmas and prevents discrimination or harassment. A code of ethics highlights the values which members of an organization or group must uphold.Continue Reading
A code of ethics promotes a good social and professional culture by demonstrating how people are expected to act. The process of assessing the behavior of employees becomes more objective when a code of conduct is used as a reference point. An organization's code of conduct applies to both casual and permanent employees.
The Free Management Library notes that a code of conduct allows an organization to stand out in the market and become more competitive. Employees are expected to read and understand the provisions of their organization's code of conduct in order to ensure compliance. A company's managers should practice the values and guidelines within their code of ethics so that they can influence their subordinates to comply. Additionally, a code of ethics should be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure it complies with the legal framework of the state.Learn more about Ethics

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Wales. The name's origins go back to a time when the Cogan family lived in the parish of Cogan, which is in the diocese of Llandaff in the county of Glamorgan. The surname Cogan belongs to the category of habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.
Cogan Early Origins
Glamorganshire (Welsh: Sir Forgannwg), a region of South Wales, anciently part of the Welsh kingdom of Glywysing, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Cogan Spelling Variations
Cogan Spelling Variations
Although there are comparatively few Welsh surnames, they have a great many spelling variations. Variations of Welsh names began almost immediately after their acceptance within Welsh society. In the Middle Ages, it was up to priests and the few other people that recorded names in official documents to decide how to spell the names that they heard. Variations that occurred because of improper recording increased dramatically as the names were later transliterated into English. The Brythonic Celtic language of Wales, known by natives as Cymraeg, featured many highly inflected sounds that could not be properly captured by the English language. Spelling variations were, however, also carried out according to an individual's design: a branch loyalty within the family, a religious adherence, or even patriotic affiliations were all indicated by the particular variation of one's name. The spelling variations of the name Cogan have included Cogan, Cogen, Coogan, Coogen, Coogin, Coggan, Coggen, Coggin, Coggins, Gogan, Goggin and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many people from Wales joined the general migration to North America in the 19th and 20th centuries, searching for land, work, and freedom. Like the many other immigrants from the British Isles, they made a significant contribution to the development of Canada and the United States. The Welsh and their descendents added a rich cultural tradition to the newly developed towns, cities, and villages. An investigation of the immigration and passenger lists has revealed a number of people bearing the name Cogan:
Cogan Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Cogan Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Cogan Settlers in United States in the 20th Century
Cogan Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
Cogan Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Constans fidei
Motto Translation: Constant to honor.

For example, if I'm traveling North-East, it'll point to North-West. If I'm traveling Sout-West, it'll point South-East. Anyone experience something similar or have any troubleshooting-tips?

The cold and flu season is in full effect here in our home. Both of my kiddos have had colds, ear infections and fevers– and it's only December. It is always a wonderful thing to find great products that make tending to a sick child easy and more comfortable for them. That is where the Exergen Temporal Scanner Thermometer comes in!
The Exergen Temporal Scanner is a must-have product for every household! It was recently seen on the Today Show and on Grey's Anatomy! The Exergen Temporal Scanner is an infrared thermometer that captures temperature by scanning the heat that comes off the forehead (via the temporal artery). This scanner is extremely useful and convenient because:
- It is non-invasive, easy-to-use (only takes 2 seconds) and extremely accurate.
- It will help parents avoid the painful experience of taking their sick child's temperature rectally and uncomfortably.
- It merely takes two seconds and a gentle swipe, so parents can even check a sleeping child's temperature.
I personally have used the Exergen Temporal Scanner since my first child came home from the hospital. I love that is so easy to use and has an accurate reading as compared with other methods of obtaining a temperature reading. I loved being able to take my child's temperature while they are sleeping and never waking them. The time it takes to sweep the scanner across the temporal artery is all the time it takes to know what the temperature reading is! The is a very durable product as well! Ours has been dropped, thrown into diaper bags and purses and handled by toddlers and is still in perfect condition! It does use a 9 volt battery, that is included. In 5 years I have only replaced the battery about 3 times. I have tried a handful of thermometers and other devices, but none have compared to the Exergen Temporal Scanner Thermometer.
Overall, I definitely recommend the Exergen Temporal Scanner Thermometer! To me it's a must-have especially for Moms of newborns and small children. Actually, my husband and I use it too!!
The Exergen Temporal Scanner thermometer retails for $49.99 and is available at many of your favorite retail locations including WalMart, Babies R Us, Costco, Walgreens and more. Currently, you can purchase this thermometer for $32.18 at WalMart.
For more information about this thermometer or the Exergen company be sure to check them out via website, Facebook or Twitter.

VIDEO: Stunt man Mark Sutton gives thumbs up seconds before jumping to his death
DRAMATIC footage of tragic James Bond stuntman Mark Sutton giving the thumbs up literally seconds before he dies has been released.
The poignant video was taken from inside a helicopter as he prepared to jump out of it in a wingsuit.
Released with the full consent of his family, the heartrending film shows Mark, 42, leaping from the helicopter to his death.
He died 20 seconds later. Mark, who wowed crowds as 007 at the Olympics opening ceremony, crashed into a mountain ridge at a speed of 155 mph.
He was one of 23 world-class wingsuit pilots taking part in a non-competitive event in August in Trient, Switerland, near the French town of Chamonix.
The event - HeliBASE 74 - was organised by EpicTV, an online extreme sports channel that has since made a series of films about it.
Panu Lehti, Head of EpicTV, said: "When Mark died we were devastated and planned to shelve the whole project. But when the other pilots showed us that the best way to remember Mark was to think about what he would have wanted, we decided to go ahead with the series.
"We knew it would be difficult for his family so before publishing this episode we showed it to his brother Steve. It feels good to know we have the family behind us. HeliBASE 74 is dedicated to the memory of Mark Sutton and to the strength of his family and friends as well."
Tragedy struck on the first day of the event. It was Mark's first jump. He was partnered in the helicopter with another British wingsuiter, Tony Uragallo.
In the film, Tony movingly describes how the tragedy unfolded.
He says: "Everyone is having a good time. It's so nice to get out above a mountain. Normally we have to climb a mountain.
"Mark suggested I follow him and I thought 'that's great', because he's a much better base jumper than me.
"He's right there, looking at me, looking at the spot. He's telling the pilot 'right, left, bit more, bit more…"
Mark, dressed in his red, white and blue wingsuit, can be seen edging along the back seat of the chopper towards the open door.
He gestures to the pilot to veer right then puts his right thumb up and climbs out of the helicopter.
Mark launches himself off the side of the helicopter and he is seen free falling, followed closely by Tony.
Footage shows two colourful specks plummeting through the cloud.
Tony says: "He turns and he jumps and I just followed him. He can follow the terrain a lot better than me and I'll just follow his line.
"And then he just suddenly turned left real quick.
"And I couldn't believe it."
Tony is then seen landing in a field.
He says: "I landed close to everyone and I shouted out: 'Mark hit the mountain.'
"That destroys everything. Everybody is so upset. People in tears."
Recalling the moment he realized Mark had died, fellow wingsuit pilot Colombian Jhonathan Florez (CORR) says: "It's just so real. Our worst fear was actually happening."
Norwegian wingsuiter Espen Fadnes says: "Tony is landing with this face of confusion and shock."
Repeatedly drawing his fingers across his throat, he adds: "He's giving me the sign."
Referring to Tony going back up in the helicopter to pinpoint Mark's location, he adds: "They can see from the heli that there is no point for them to go down and do anything about it.
"I feel sadness, confusion, shock."
Tony says: "Mark dying like that was just horrifying.
"Mark was my hero."
Tony, who has since retired, adds: "I am going to go and buy a ranch in Montana and raise horses."
Austrian wingsuiter Hubert Schober, who jumped from the same helicopter as Mark minutes before, says: "It's Mark you know. It's not like anyone. We've been in the chopper with him. I'd seen him two minutes before. You shake hands. You say: 'Good flight. Rip it. Tear it up.' And then two minutes later you go like: 'What?'"
It was Mark's first jump of the day. Earlier in the film, Mark is seen looking up to the sky and saying apprehensively: "It's covered in cloud."
It is not known whether the weather conditions that day were a factor in Mark's death.
EpicTV, an online extreme sports channel, organised the three-day event. They have made a four-part film called Risking Everything For The Ultimate Flight – HeliBASE 74.
The company paid for the participants' travel, accommodation and helicopter flights in return for rights to all footage taken during the event. They were each fitted with a number of tiny cameras.
All participants had signed a disclaimer.
Mark shot to fame last year during the opening ceremony for the London Olympics.
He was dressed as James Bond and fellow stuntman Gary Connery doubled as the Queen as they parachuted into the stadium.
The stunt came after billions of viewers worldwide watching the opening ceremony saw a film of Daniel Craig, dressed in a dinner suit as James Bond, call at Buckingham Palace and be joined by the real Queen.
Mark was one of the best-known figures in BASE jumping.
Mark and his fellow wingsuiters had been staying in Chamonix, France, and had crossed over into Switzerland to wingsuit jump.
He had travelled to France with his girlfriend Victoria Homewood, 39.

If you've ever gotten a tattoo, you already know that it takes a lot of trust and faith in your artist. Letting someone jam needles into your skin hundreds of times can be a little daunting, but they're professionals, right? I mean, they know what they're doing...They went to school for this, didn't they?
There is no such thing as a degree in tattooing. You don't enroll at your local community college to learn the ins and outs of this sub-cultural practice. But, just because someone didn't attend an Ivy League school to learn the industry, doesn't mean that they don't know what they're doing.
So how does one learn the art of tattooing, then?

The Boston GlobeJAZZ NOTES'Woman' shows she's got chops on new CD, Fox confirms there's life beyond pop for female guitaristsBy Bill Beuttler, Globe Correspondent | May 21, 2004
Mimi Fox, who'll be promoting her new CD tonight with a trio performance at Ryles, retains an appealing amount of "East Coast attitude," even though she's now spent more than half her 47 years living in the San Francisco Bay area. A good thing, too -- without it, she might never have pulled off all she's accomplished lately on the guitar.Not that she lacks the chops for it. Her new disc, "She's the Woman," is the first jazz album to come out of rock guitar legend Steve Vai's Favored Nations label (others from Larry Coryell and Stanley Jordan are slated to follow soon). From the Fox-penned bebop burner that leads it off ("East Coast Attitude," one of three tunes featuring bassist Ray Drummond) to the playful rearrangement of the Beatles tune that concludes it ("She's a Woman"), the CD demonstrates her virtuosity as both an instrumentalist and composer.It's not easy making it as a female jazz guitarist, though. For Fox, the journey began in Queens, N.Y., where she grew up beating time to her dad's old Dixieland records on her mother's soup pots. (Her mother, an amateur singer, was into Cole Porter, the Gershwins, and standards.) By age 9, Fox was playing drums (an instrument she kept up through high school), but soon she became a devotee of the Monkees. "I was 10 years old," she explains, "I can be excused." Her mom bought her a small guitar using S&H Green Stamps.Fox took to the instrument immediately. An older cousin showed her a few chords and promised to return to check her progress."By the time he got back a few weeks later," she recalls by phone, "I was already playing all the songs from the Beatles' `Rubber Soul' -- everything, including `Michelle,' that little guitar part. I'd taught myself just from listening to the record. So he was pretty freaked out. He goes to my mom, `Look, I don't have anything to teach Mimi anymore. She just learned all this stuff and taught herself this.' So yes, I guess I had an affinity for it."She stayed entirely self-taught until moving to California in 1979. She spent about six months doing studio work in Los Angeles before drifting north to San Francisco. "I had headphones on all the time, and I really didn't like it," she recalls. "Even though I was making really good money, that wasn't all that I wanted. I didn't really care about having a swimming pool and palm trees in my yard."What she wanted to do was to move beyond pop. "There's some point for every composer -- every songwriter, whatever the genre -- that all roads lead to jazz, because of the richness of the harmony," says Fox. "All the pop people that I liked -- Stevie [Wonder], Bonnie Raitt, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, even James Taylor -- all these people have written jazz ballads. Even the Beatles: You take a song like `When I'm 64' -- that's a swing tune. Certainly Stevie Wonder had a number of really classic jazz tunes, like `Sir Duke' or `Isn't She Lovely?' "Fox immediately fell in love with the Bay Area, "for all the reasons you can imagine," and began taking lessons from the bebop-oriented guitarist Bruce Forman. ("She was a great student," Forman recalls. "She came to me full of energy and enthusiasm, and was just a sponge. And she picked it up real naturally.")Then she began paying dues in earnest. She taught guitar and drums at an Oakland music school while practicing six hours a day herself and picking up whatever gigs she could at night. And she faced down the skepticism of sexist men who couldn't get their heads around the idea of a woman playing jazz guitar."Of course there were guys that were supportive," she says, "but by and large I think a lot of men were threatened, because I had chops. I think if I was a laid-back player it would have been different, but because I'm kind of intense, kind of a choppy player -- meaning can play fast and can cut the fast tempos and all that stuff -- I found a lot of men really hassled me and excluded me and didn't give me gigs."A number of experiences stand out as being particularly lousy, but when I was about 19 I was playing in a funk band and this really respected jazz player in town came up to me after my set and goes, `Well you know, sweetie, you play pretty good rhythm, but you should never try to solo.' "Another time, she recalls, a manager she was working with sent a demo of hers to a promoter, only to hear back, "The music's great, but I don't believe this is a woman. Who are you really representing?''"The guys that are cool are cool," Fox hastens to add, "and there are men that have gone out of their way to be very supportive. Probably because they know that it's like, well, rooting for the Red Sox."Fox persevered, and lately her career has been taking off. Last year her former label, Origin Records, brought out two worthy CDs involving Fox -- a collaboration with vocalist Greta Matassa titled "Two for the Road" and a solo album, "Standards," inspired by Fox's late friend and mentor Joe Pass."She's the Woman" shines even brighter. Jim Hall, Charlie Hunter, and Russell Malone all blurb Fox favorably on its back cover. Her former teacher hasn't heard the new CD yet but likes what he's heard of Fox lately. "She's really sounding great these days," says Forman. "I've heard her live a couple of times, and she's swinging."Swinging with Fox tonight at Ryles will be two locally based musicians, bassist Keala Kaumeheiwa and drummer Larry Gray. Fox says her friend Rebecca Parris will probably drop by and sing a couple of tunes as well.Mimi Fox performs at Ryles tonight at 9:30. Tickets $10.© Copyright 2004 Globe Newspaper Company.

Hi Tracy and thanks for the review. I'm glad you were satisfied with our service. I am sorry though for the waiting area. I'll admit it is a little cramped at times. If it's any consolation, I do have a plan in the works to expand the front room in an effort to create a more comfortable waiting area. Fingers crossed it will be done by next spring.

Do you make New Year's resolutions? I usually don't in the typical sense of 'lose weight' or 'get organized.' If I did, it would be setting myself up for failure. Instead, I like to reflect upon the past year. What were my triumphs and joyful moments? How did I handle troubling events? What can I improve about myself? This morning as I spent time in prayer and reading, one verse jumped out at me. It's bold statement effectuates how I really want to live this next year:
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."
Romans 12:12
The first is fairly easy...finding joy in hope. It's easy to get excited and be joyful when anticipating a positive circumstance. Can I be patient in affliction? This is more difficult for me. I don't like having to wait for anything...especially when it may seem unfavorable to me. I don't like to think about being afflicted. I want to be happy all the time. Life doesn't work that way, does it? My God can abrogate all my afflictions, which is why I believe this verse ends with 'be faithful in prayer.' This is stated last so I could dwell on it.
It stands to reason that if I do this...stay faithful in prayer...I won't have any issues with the other instructions at the beginning of the verse. Spending time with my Lord in prayer will allow me to find joy in hope. Even more, since I'm already spending time with Him in prayer, when trouble enters my life, I'll know who to look to for advice. He'll already be there waiting on me to pour my heart out to Him. He'll comfort me and give me the patience I need to endure any situation. I love this verse! So this year, even though I don't usually make resolutions, I resolve to live my life according to Romans 12:12. What resolutions are you going to make?

text: Several times, i've discussed the differences between the ISU program and Minnesota over the last two years. I'm really, really impressed with Tubby Smith at the U of MN...and i think the same can happen at ISU, though it will be harder without the consistent pipeline of talent that the Twin Cities has. Today's Star Trib has an excellent article about what Tubby has done to turn around the Gophers. It's a great read, as it goes along ways to talk about how Tubby went about turning around one of the worst basketball programs in the six major conferences. Tubby Smith: Minnesota's new rouser This team, in my estimation, has the same level of talent that ISU has, maybe slightly more. The gophers are a worse offensive team than ISU (if that's possible), but have more athletic players, which has made them a better defensive and rebounding team. They play well in transition, but can't score in the half court set to save their life. And yet they're on the bubble for the NCAA (i don't think they'll make it, but ya never know). This is the type of turnaround i envision at ISU in the next several years: attitude, motivation, and athleticism. I hope it's possible.
