Dementia Awareness Week
12:02am 21st May 2012
The number of dementia cases is expected to double in the next thirty years and clinicians at NHS Yorkshire and the Humber are making people aware of the signs and symptoms of the syndrome.
This week (20th-26th May 2012) is Dementia Awareness Week.
The main aim of the week is to educate people about the signs and symptoms of Dementia so they may be able to identify them in older relatives and friends enabling them to get appropriate care should they need it.
Signs and Symptoms of Dementia:
- increasing difficulties with tasks and activities that require concentration and planning
- memory loss
- depression
- changes in personality and mood
- periods of mental confusion
- low attention span.
Adult services care manager for NHS Yorkshire and Humber, Heather Raistrick, said:
"Because people are living longer cases of dementia are rising, it can happen to anyone.
"It is important to be aware of Dementia, even if you are not in an at risk group. Knowing the symptoms will enable you to get the right help and medication for either yourself or your elderly relatives. Taking action early can help to slow the development of the syndrome, giving the person a better quality of life for longer."
There are many types of dementia:
- Alzheimer's disease, where small clumps of protein, known as plaques, begin to develop around brain cells. This disrupts the normal workings of the brain.
- Vascular dementia, where problems with blood circulation result in parts of the brain not receiving enough blood and oxygen.
- Dementia with Lewy bodies, where abnormal structures, known as Lewy bodies, develop inside the brain.
- Frontotemporal dementia, where the frontal and temporal lobes (two parts of the brain) begin to shrink. Unlike other types of dementia, frontotemporal dementia usually develops in people who are under 65. It is much rarer than other types of dementia.
Maintaining a healthy body can reduce the risk of developing dementia. Keeping your blood pressure at a normal level by maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking or drinking to excess, avoiding fatty foods and eating a diet which is high in fibre is advised.
There is some evidence that rates of dementia are lower in people who remain as mentally and physically active as possible throughout their lives. For example being involved in creative pastimes such as reading, writing, playing a musical instrument or learning a foreign language can all help to stimulate the mind and can contribute to reducing the risk of dementia.
Further survey for Dementia Awareness Week
Dementia worries over half of people living in Yorkshire and the Humber according to a joint poll commissioned by Alzheimer's Society and Saga Homecare published today (Monday 21st May 2012).
The YouGov survey - released to mark Dementia Awareness Week - found that 60% per cent of people in the area say they are worried about dementia in some way.
The majority of people (57%) are worried about either themselves or someone they know developing dementia in later life. Yet despite their fears less than a sixth (13%) of people want to know more about the condition.
Nicki Dyson, Alzheimer's Society Area Manager for Yorkshire and the Humber, said:
"Dementia can have a huge impact on the lives those affected and there is currently no cure, so it's not surprising that people are so worried. However, a lot of anxiety comes from a lack of knowledge about the help and treatments that are available to support people to live well for longer.
"This Dementia Awareness Week we need to stop worrying and start understanding dementia. Whether you have five minutes or half an hour, please take some time to find out more about the condition. Only through knowing more will we ensure that people with the condition are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve."
Alzheimer's Society's 'Dementia Awareness Week is being held in partnership with Saga Homecare. Saga Homecare, which is part of the larger Saga group, provides care at home for people who want to maintain their independence and stay in their own homes.
John Ivers, Chief Executive of Saga Homecare said:
"We are delighted to be partnering with Alzheimer's Society in raising awareness of dementia. Saga Homecare has extensive experience of providing ongoing support to people with this condition and we are harnessing our resources to help Alzheimer's Society make an impact with this worthwhile campaign.'
This Dementia Awareness Week™ Alzheimer's Society is encouraging people to 'remember the person' by looking beyond someone's diagnosis and engaging with them. The charity is helping people to learn more about dementia by promoting five things everyone should know - key lessons include dementia is not a natural part of ageing and it's possible to live well with dementia.
Events will be taking place across the area throughout Dementia Awareness Week™. To find out how you can get involved, visit: www.alzheimers.org.uk/remembertheperson.
Other key findings
- 30 per cent of people said they are not worried about dementia at all
- 22 per cent of people believe dementia is a result of old age
- 18 per cent of people believe there is nothing you can do to reduce your risk
- Only 21 per cent of people realise dementia is a terminal illness
- 19 per cent of people think they have a good knowledge of dementia

We are about 45 minutes away. The time now is 18:50.
See you all soon 😃😃
We have left Barton Hall for our journey home.
We are all tired and have had an amazing time!
See you soon!
PGL Day 4
Another fantastic day at Barton Hall! The rain from yesterday cleared and the sun even decided to put in an appearance! We have been non-stop all day and the children have been having so much fun!
We woke the children up just after 7am - it is definitely getting harder to get them up each morning.
After another breakfast it was straight off to start the day. Today's activities included:
Abseiling: All groups had a go at this and thoroughly enjoyed the thrill of climbing to the top and stepping off the side. Some children conquered their fear of heights and put themselves out of their comfort zone.
Orienteering: This was great fun and got the children running all over the campsite. The children had to find markers in teams and try to be the first back. We were all very impressed with their map reading skills!
Aero ball: This was a great workout for all. Trampolining meets basketball- the children were in teams of 2 and competed in a mini tournament with the aim of scoring the most points.
Group 3 got their go on the Giant Swing today which they loved- group 1 & 2 will get their go tomorrow.
Group 1 & 2 had their quad biking session today! This was a highlight for many and some children have proved to be quite the daredevils!
The children are currently celebrating their final night with a disco. They all got themselves glammed up and ready to party!
A final note...
We have thoroughly enjoyed spending the week with your wonderful children. They have proved to be responsible, considerate, entertaining dare-devils! You should be very proud of them, as we are.
We will not be able to upload any photos before we leave tomorrow but they will be put on a disc for you to have before the end of term.
Miss Middleton, Miss Moody and Miss Amjadi
PGL Day 3
What a fun and fantastic day we have had! It has been pouring with rain but that hasn't dampened the children's spirits!
The children woke at a reasonable time today - much later than yesterday - and headed downstairs for a yummy breakfast. We then headed out to our activities:
Mountain Biking - a fun packed session, learning lots of tips and tricks on our bikes. The children were all very sensible and rode their bikes safely. They particularly enjoyed having a go at the slow bike race.
Crate Challenge - the children had to work together to build a tower made of crates. Then when they reached as high as possible the tower was pushed over which left them swinging in the air!
Climbing Wall - we were so impressed with the children's bravery and perseverance getting to the top of the climbing wall. They all supported each other and encouraged each other well.
Nature Trail - this turned into more of a 'decorating each other's faces with mud' session! However, the children also investigated what was living and growing in the forest and learnt how trees and plants contribute to our lives.
The children are now getting ready for their evening activity, night trackers (a big game of hide and seek).
Overall, a great day!
Photos to follow :)
PGL Day 2
What a busy, wet and fun day we've all had! The children were up very early and dressed long before 7am! We think they must have been too excited to sleep. After a filling breakfast, we split into our 3 groups and headed off for our morning activities.
Morning activities today included:
Group 1 & 2: Raft building and challenge course.
Group 3: Quad biking and Jacob's Ladder
The weather was nice and sunny this morning and we all had a very good time.
There was lots to choose from at lunch and after refuelling we began our afternoon activities. Unfortunately, the rain came and made us all a bit soggy- but we all still had fun!
Afternoon activities included:
Group 1 & 2: sensory trail and Jacob's Ladder
Group 3: sensory trail and raft building
All 3 groups have built rafts today on the lake- some more successful than others- but all children ended up in the water!
Dinner has been good and the children are currently taking part in a quiz and scavenger hunt!
Photos to follow :-)
PGL Day 1
We have arrived safe and sound to Barton Hall. The journey down was good and the traffic was kind. We all stopped for lunch at the services and then headed on to Barton Hall where we arrived at about 2:30pm. The children had a quick tour before settling into their rooms and playing games with their group leader Mimi.
After dinner, the children have been out having fun with water bombs and are now watching the second half of the England match before bed.
The sun has been out today, so fingers crossed for a warm and dry tomorrow.

Amid the New Year revelry you might have missed the soft "thunk" as another small piece of Australia's once mighty protectionist wall was dislodged. In this case it was a 5 percent drop in the tariff applied to the wholesale price of imported passenger cars.
Announced in December 2002 as part of a long-term Federal Government automotive industry assistance plan, the January 1 action reduced tariffs from 15 to 10 percent. The intention is to balance financial incentives and support to the four local manufacturers against cheaper imported car prices out to 2015.
That's still 5 percent behind the tariff applied to light commercial vehicles, the most notable being the increasingly popular sport utility vehicles (SUVs), or four-wheel-drive wagons, as they have been more commonly called. However, that imbalance will be sorted out in 2010 when the tariff on imported passenger cars should be reduced by a further 5 percent.
It's been a long and heated haul down from the protectionist mid-1980s when tariffs on foreign cars were at a mind-boggling 57.5 percent.
But this latest decrease in protectionism has stolen up on us so quietly as to be nearly invisible, and in isolation its impact on the private new-car buyer will not be significant.
That's because day-to-day competition in the Australian new-car market has become even fiercer since the last tariff reduction in 2000. Better value and affordability, choice, incentives, deals and discounts are all constants in the equation, aided by a stable economy, low interest rates and the rise of individually tailored financing packages such as novated leasing. The tariff drop is just an added ingredient in an already bubbling pot.
"I don't think you can look at the 5 percent in isolation," says Tony Robinson, chief executive officer of Sureplan Fleet Risk Management.
"While I think 2005 will be a reasonably good year for the new-car market, I think manufacturers are going to have to kick the can a bit to maintain the volumes and the market share that they have become accustomed to over the past couple of years. You might see a lot more money being thrown at the marketplace over the next 12 months."
Not that good deals have been lacking in the past three record-busting years: Australians bought 955,229 new vehicles in 2004. Almost every month set a record, including December, and for the purposes of this story, that is significant.
There seemed to be a slight softening in sales late in 2004 but there was little sign of what the industry calls a buyers' strike. That's when we stay away from showrooms in expectation of lower prices ahead. The introduction of the GST was the last time it was fearfully anticipated - and it didn't happen then, either.
"The tariff drop just hasn't registered for most buyers who have walked in here," says one multi-franchise dealer.
"I reckon about 5 percent of our customers would have even asked about it."
It's possible increased awareness of the tariff reduction will emerge in the next few weeks as car-shoppers come back from holidays and the car companies that used January 1 as a trigger point for an adjustment get their message out.
Indeed, some car makers chose not to implement the lower tariff on January 1, as seen in our accompanying guide; it's important to note that the car industry is under no legal obligation to pass on any or all of the reduction. It's not like the GST, so it is unlikely to involve the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission.
Complicating things further, there are many and varied ways for car companies to exploit the tariff reduction. Some will pass it on directly to buyers through lower prices or extra equipment - and often only on selected models rather than across the range.
Some will use it to improve fleet prices or as dealer bonus money. Some will use it as a hedge against foreign exchange fluctuations (many importers contend with the added headache of cross-rates) or rising steel prices, which is shaping as a global issue for car manufacturers in 2005.
Indeed, Suzuki cited steel as the reason for its minimal response to lower tariffs, meanwhile introducing a $500 free-fuel deal on its Liana. Its rival Kia is re-introducing drive-away deals across the range, including on the Sorento, which in theory, as a four-wheel-drive, wouldn't be subject to passenger-car tariffs and so shouldn't benefit from the latest tariff reductions.
"Nobody is going to end up putting it in their pocket," says Ric Hull, the managing director of Ateco Automotive, which distributes Kia, Citroen and Alfa Romeo in Australia.
"It is such a competitive business and it is an advantage that everybody gets. With exchange rates, some people benefit at certain times and others at others, but with a drop in the tariff, it's universal, everyone gets it.
"But it is not a hell of a lot of money on Kia-style products. On a Rio, it might equate to a two-cent movement in the exchange rate, and that is happening to us almost on a daily basis."
Some companies didn't wait for January 1, with several claiming that the cars they launched in 2004 anticipated the forthcoming tariff relief and absorbed the additional cost themselves for the intervening weeks or months.
With the entry-level Nissan Pulsar ST sedan, for example, its recommended retail price dropped from $19,990 to $18,990 in September - but don't expect further reductions in 2005.
The Pulsar's adjustment comes out at a full 5 percent to the customer, which is actually over the odds for a 5 percent wholesale tariff reduction. A change of somewhere between 2 and 4 percent is more realistic, depending on the on-costs a particular company incurs moving the car from the factory gates to the showroom.
But that's the point about the tariff reduction being part of a bigger picture. Renault has discounted its slow-selling Megane hatchback by up to 6 percent. Audi, another poor performer in 2004, which has made no secret of its determination to get its sales graph pointing sharply upward in 2005, used the tariff cut as a justification to chop pricing across most of the range, in some cases by more than 4 percent.
BMW also reduced the prices of all its models, apart from the new 1 Series, by about 3 percent. Don't we love competition!
But there's a downside, and it's called resale value, something tacitly pointed out by Mercedes-Benz. Rather than enact its anticipated January price rise, it implemented a series of equipment improvements across much of its range. This might sound like typical Mercedes behaviour but its actions have a lot to do with maintaining new-vehicle prices, which in turn maintain resale values. That's a key for those of us with trade-ins when we buy a new car. If both prices go down, the transaction price - the gap between the new car price and the trade-in - stays the same or widens. It doesn't improve.
"Used-car values are fairly low now, but the ones that stand to be most exposed are some of the Europeans, and that's a case of purely the volume of cars they have been pumping into the new market over the last few years," says Mr Robinson. "It's purely supply and demand - it's not rocket science - there are more cars than there are buyers."
Which brings us back to the deal, and the essence of the tariff cut that came into effect as the champagne corks popped on January 1. Will we be able to walk into a showroom this month and get a better price on a new car than we could last month?
The answer is that the tariff reduction has already triggered some companies to cut their prices or boost equipment levels towards the end of last year. But there's also a raft of new deals being wheeled out by the companies, now, in what may be another hard-fought, big-selling year.
On the home front
What impact will cheaper imported vehicle prices have on the four domestic manufacturers, Toyota, Holden, Ford and Mitsubishi?
All bar Ford have adjusted the pricing on some or all of their imported passenger cars post-January 1, but at this point none have deemed it necessary to change pricing of their staple large passenger cars that form the bedrock of their local existence.
By itself, this cut in tariffs is not all that significant for large cars, which account for about 30 percent of the passenger-car market, or approximately 180,000 sales in 2004. But the share graph has halved over the past two decades, and that can be attributed to the broader policy of lower protection and more access to cheaper, imported cars.
The locals have responded to the bigger picture with better quality, better built and better value cars, have started to expand their repertoires (Ford Territory, for example) and have become exporters of cars and technology. But the pressure will only increase.
"As people desert the traditional segments they buy from and they go for SUVs, luxury markets, European cars that more suit their needs rather than cars that one traditionally bought for the road environment, I think the locals are going to come under increasing pressure," says analyst Tony Robinson.
Free-trade agreements
BMW customers were also beneficiaries of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which kicked in January 1. The US-built X5 wagon dropped between $200 (3.0d) and $2300 (4.8is) now that the 5 percent duty on commercial vehicles is wiped. The Z4 roadster, also manufactured in BMW's South Carolina plant, was a bigger winner, with the 15 percent tariff wiped. The 2.5i drops $4000, while the 3.0i is now $6000 cheaper at $86,000, down 7 percent.
There were also discounts to be had at Jeep, courtesy of NAFTA, although no new pricing for Ford's US-sourced Explorer or any joy for Benz ML buyers, because it is on run-out. And Chrysler? All its vehicles sold in Australia are built in Europe.
Meanwhile, the January 1 start of an FTA with Thailand meant significant cuts to the pricing of Honda's "American" Accord, by as much as 12 percent. The Thai-sourced Civic sedan has its second downward price revision in a few months, dropping as much as 4.6 percent.
If you're a one-tonner fan, you can also look forward to potentially good news on the Holden Rodeo, Mitsubishi Triton, Ford Courier/Mazda B Series and Toyota Hilux, which are sourced from Thailand, although the Hilux is about to replaced by an all-new generation.
Who is doing what in response to the January 1 tariff cut?
Audi says the full reduction is being implemented across most of its range, from $1250 off the A3 Attraction 1.6 manual (now $33,650), to $8700 off the A8L 4.2 quattro (now $213,100). Only the allroad quattro and the new V6 TT coupe are unaffected.
The VW-owned British brand has passed on a cut to its customers. The twin turbo W12 Continental GT coupe is reduced from $385,000 to $372,000, the Arnage R turbo V8 from $525,000 to $499,000 and the Arnage T from $560,000 to $539,000.
A dramatic range-wide reduction, with only the new 1 Series unaffected. The 318i sedan drops $1550 to $48,400 and the glorious M3 coupe is reduced by $5200 to $137,000. That's in effect a run-out price as an all-new 3-series is expected around September.
Reductions to pricing and increase in specification for the compact PT Cruiser and the large Voyager were made with the 2005 model year introductions.
The recently introduced C3 Pluriel took the tariff cut into account, while the updated C5 and Xsara-replacing C4, are scheduled in the next two months.
Reductions are being passed on for Charade, Copen and YRV mini-people mover. But we're talking small.
The only car directly affected is the 360 Modena Spider, now $383,000 (from $397,500). The F1 Spider with paddle shift is $409,000 (from $421,500).
A January 1 price reduction for the slow-selling Vectra sees the base CD model (below) back under $30,000 for the first time since the launch of the ZC generation in March 2003. A CD V6 Vectra has also been introduced. The Zafira people-mover and Astra convertible also drop, while introductory pricing for the Astra Classic and Barina update introduced in 2004 have been confirmed.
A combo of price cuts and specification adjustments here, some of them, such as the Jazz, announced last year. The now tariff-free Thai-built Accord range drops by around $3000, and Civic just under $1000.
The biggest Korean has reduced the price of the Elantra small car, the entry-level HVT now starting at $18,490 drive-away (a cut of $500). The Elite falls $1000 while the Getz is reduced by $290 across the range.
The struggling British manufacturer announced a price reduction, model cull and re-spec of the X-Type and S-Type ranges late last year. The entry model is now the $56,550 2.1 X-Type SE. Expect action on the V8 XJ saloons in pricing and equipment soon.
The introduction of the NAFTA rather than tariff reductions is good news for this 4WD-only brand, with discounts for the substantially updated Cherokee (and the veteran Wrangler) revealed late last year. The six-speed manual Sport model falls $7500 to a starting RRP of $29,990, although sales prices have been down in this range for a while.
The entry-level Korean has used the tariff cut as an opportunity to spread drive-away to the Cerato and Sorento SUV, joining Rio, Optima and Carnival.
The 5.0-litre V10 Gallardo falls nearly $25,000 back to its Australian launch price - $399K. The larger V12 Murcielago coupe sticks at current pricing (north of $620,000) and gets additional equipment for '05.
Land Rover
The SUV-based range is unaffected by tariff or free-trade agreement changes, but with new Discovery 3, updated Range Rover and Range Rover Sport coming this year there will be plenty of new pricing.
Cuts of between 3 and 4.5 percent for the passenger car range, but no change to the RX330 or LX470.
Took the bull by the horns announcing the introduction of tariff-reduction pricing in early December, which saves between $660 and $3150 depending on the car. The Mazda3 now starts at $20,690 and the 6 begins at $27,690.
Changes are restricted to the Coupe and the Spyder V8s, which are down $6000 and get some facelift and specification changes this month.
A different strategy here to German rivals Audi and BMW, choosing to hold at 2004 prices for most of the range when a rise is the norm each January. There has been - and will be over coming weeks - some spec upgrades as 2005 models flow in.
Only the Lancer sedan gets a reduced price from January 1, as all other imported passenger cars introduced in 2004 - Colt, Lancer Sportswagon and Grandis - had the tariff reduction included in their launch prices. Entry pricing is now $19,390 for the ES manual, down from $19,990.
Fired its big gun in September with the repositioning of the Pulsar ST sedan at $18,990, down by $1000. No other changes announced for passenger car lineup, which only includes 350Z and Maxima, but changes are coming for the latter.
No action apart from making metallic paint standard for the range. The 407 was introduced at post-January 1 pricing, and the 206CC was adjusted downward last year.
The new Boxster expected in February will benefit from the tariff reduction but the line will be held on pricing for most models. Some spec increases due.
Significant cuts for the Clio and Megane hatchbacks, with the Clio Authentique manual dropping $1000 to $18,990, while the top-spec Megane XLR comes down almost $2000. The Laguna is untouched and a new Scenic has arrived with the New Year.
The smaller Swede is watching and waiting when it comes to pricing and specification adjustments for the 9-3 and 9-5 sedans. Changes to the 9-3 cabrio will be announced in February.
No changes as all price adjustments to this micro and mini car range were made when the ForFour was introduced in October.
No changes apart from a $2500 reduction to the price of the Impreza WRX, which in effect replaces an insurance rebate offer that expired December 31. Subaru says Impreza and Liberty specification took into account the tariff reduction when the '05 model year cars were launched in late 2004. Also cited "a depreciation in the Australian dollar/Japanese Yen cross rate in the middle of the year".
The Liana small car gets a $500 fuel voucher, but there's no action on the run-out Ignis mini, which is replaced by the spunky-looking Swift in February.
Cuts across the board for the market leader's imported cars, averaging out at 3.5 percent. The $740 chop for the Ascent puts the top-selling Corolla small car back under $20,000, at $19,750, while a $500 cut puts the 1.3 Echo at $14,490. The Avensis and Tarago, the MR2 and Celica and the petrol-electric Prius also fall, the latter by $1490 to $36,500.
The new Golf accounted for the tariff reduction at its September introduction. The Polo mini had a price rollback in December and the Beetle Miami limited edition was the extent of the action on the retro car.
No specific January 1 adjustments for the Ford-owned Swede. A 2.5-litre turbo version of the S80 big car was launched late in 2004 and slight spec upgrades for V70 and S60 are scheduled.

Unanswered: Selling/protecting my msaccess program. How can you prevent piracy?
I've created a specialized database customer tracking system in Access that I've sold to a few small local businesses. I know these people so I don't think they'll hand out the program to others, but I've been thinking about going big time and selling online.
The problem is of course is how do you prevent buyers from just handing it to another person? Obviously there is no perfect solution, but I'd like to make it at least difficult as these customers are single person franchisees that usually aren't computer savvy.
I've made it into an .mde file to prevent theft of my code but can't figure out yet how to create some sort of online registration/activation code. I've google'd but haven't come across much yet in this area.
Any help/direction from you all out there?

If you're talking small numbers of copies here, you could also consider 'branding' each copy, as I've done before.
An MDE file doesn't allow for the creation of forms or reports, so what I've done is 'branded' each one with the name of the company I'm licensing the database to. Most companies, for instance, don't want to print out invoices or cost estimates with another company's name conspicuously on it. Likewise most companies wouldn't want an employee using a database asking why another company's name was displayed prominently on the software.

what I did as created a Key that was in a INI file used there Company on every report
then if someone copy the database gave it to any company so and other company and they tryed to change the company name it would not work and if they did not change the company name the reports said the wrong company name on the reports.
a differance way of look at it
my THINKING is if the GM see a report with his figs on it but had a differance compnay name I think sh.... will hit the fan LOLhope this help

great ideas so far. I like the branded copy type deal although this is specialized health club type chek in system so not too many print-outs, but the screen headers are a nice thought.
This is going to be trickier than I thought.

Hi Ron,
In my view, if you create some sort of code to capture that particular computer's name then anyone trying to copy and run the db on another computer will not work as the db will have another computer's name on it. hope this helps but I am not quite good with codingEmi-UK

I've been toying with the pulling of the computer name, hashing it and creating an activation code from it. I may just go that route
The problem of that is portability, meaning they cant move it to a new computer, which may be fine, they will just need to email me for a new activation code. Piracy still exists, but it's more than just handing off the CD, its working with another person and lying directly to me saying its for them.
Again, I don't expect 5k customers since they can get similar (but shitty) corporate product for free.

December 3rd, 2008, 07:23 AM #1How to show $$ due for sales 90+ days ago on CJ
I searched but did not find it so here goes.
So I am wondering which nerchants has not paid me for sales that took place say 90+ days ago. I goto Pending Commissions and sort by date and I see sales from Oct 3rd 2008 to today. So by reading this I have been paid for every sales I received for the last 5 years??? Every company paid their bills???
The reason I asking I have had amounts due by several merchants who went offline and never came back. And in the last few weeks several of my merchants went offline and the owe me $$$
So I am wondering just how much money I have lost over the years due to merchants not paying their bills at CJ.
December 4th, 2008, 09:03 AM #2
This can be kind of tricky. Some of the reports are set up to only display commissions from the past 60 days, so you'll see the old unpaid amount then when you click for more detail it isn't there. I had one merchants where I had about $600 in unpaid commissions for a few years (yes, years), so I used to see this a lot. I don't think I have any that are behind right now, so I might not be able to tell you how to find the numbers and details, but I'll try.
One thing you can do is to compare your balance at the top of the screen with the details on the "Run Reports" page and the reports (Locked Pending Commissions, Pending Commissions by Advertiser, and Pending Commissions by Date) that you can access from the "Run Reports". The unpaid commissions "stick" in the Locked status instead of getting paid and moving to Closed status.
Hopefully that's enough for you to figure things out.
December 4th, 2008, 09:16 AM #3
Thanks Michael for the reply, by checking the two things you suggested I have been paid for every sale I have generated in the past five years. I hope that is the case.
Again Thank you

Chennai, Nov 18 (UNI) The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has seized 197 kgs of Ketamine Hydrochloride, valued at Rs 20 crore in the International market, meant to be exported to Malaysia from Chennai port.
This was the biggest single seizure of Ketamine Hydrochloride in the recent past and for the first time, a novel modus operandi of concealing the substance in onion shaped packets among the onions being exported, was used, a DRI release here said.
With this seizure, DRI, Chennai, since August, 2006, has effected seizure of about 460 kgs of Ketamine Hydrochloride having international value of about Rs 46 crore involving concealment in passenger baggages, export items like Pooja articles, onions, etc.
11 people have been arrested in these seizures, the release said.
Based on specific intelligence, officers of the DRI detained an export consignment to Malaysia yesterday and examined it to find the contraband, concealed along with baskets of Bangalore onions.
The consignment was declared in the Customs documents as Bangalore Onions (small sized onions). The consignment was supposed to have 1000 bamboo baskets weighing 10 tonnes. However, when it was examined, only 988 baskets were found.
Out of those, 920 baskets were found to be filled with the declared Bangalore Onions. The remaining 68 baskets were found to be stuffed with plastic packets resembling onion in size and colour along with the declared Bangalore Onions.
There were, in all, 13,660 onion like plastic packets which were found to contain white coloured crystalline granular substance. The physical nature of the said powder resembled Ketamine Hydrochloride totally weighing 197 kgs, the release said.
Ketamine is essentially used as a veterinary anesthetic. Its abuse results in what are described as ''out of body'' or ''near death'' experiences. The abuse of Ketamine has been spreading rapidly in the ''rave parties'' in East and South East Asia and also in Europe and in the United States.

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
A disease of the immune system that renders the body unable to effectively fight infection.
Amino Acids
Chemical compounds used to build proteins.
A protein made by B-cells and plasma cells, used to destroy antigens held captive at the surface of a macrophage.
A protein on the surface of a virus or bacteria. The Immune System perceives antigens as an enemy, triggering an immune response to defend the body from the virus or bacteria.
Antigen Specificity
The Immune System's ability to mount a targeted defense against the over ten million different antigens that are capable of attacking the human body. The Immune System recognizes each of these antigens as unique and responds uniquely to each one.
A special white blood cell, made in the bone marrow, that produce antibodies. B-cells later transform into even more powerful plasma cells.
Bone Marrow
Contents of bone cavities that produces red and white blood cells. White blood cells are the key players in the body's Immune System.
The stored form of sugars the human body uses to produce energy.
CD4 Receptor
A unique receptor protein on the surface of the T-4 helper cell. The HIV attaches to this receptor protein to attack the T-4 helper cell.
Coronary Arteries
Vessels that supply blood to the heart.
Cytotoxic T-Cells
Special type of white blood cells that destroys foreign antigens. Must be in close proximity to the antigens to accomplish their task.
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
Genetic code found in the nucleus of every cell, that directs the activities of each cell, and hence the activities of the entire organism.
The surface proteins on the outer coat of the HIV that target the protein receptors on the T-4 helper cell.
A complex protein that directs and facilitates a specific chemical reaction, without itself being changed.
Another term for an antigen that provokes an immune response.
Stored triglycerides that reside in all cells, neccesary for cell activity and function. Excess triglycerides are stored in special fat cells that accumulate in various parts of the body known as adipose tissue.
Foam Cell
The name given to a macrophage as it attacks fat within the coronary arteries. The fat accumulates within the foam cell cytoplasm giving it a bubbly appearance, hence its name.
A segment of DNA that produces a specific protein that performs a particular purpose.
GP-120 and GP-41
Two portions of the ENV in the HIV virus.
Highly Active Anti-Retro Viral Therapy The name given to aggressive treatment of HIV.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
The virus that causes AIDS.
Another name for an antibody. A large complex protein used in the body's immune response.
Immunoglobulin G (IGG)
Another antibody made by the Immune System; made after IGM, but more powerful.
Immunoglobulin M (IGM)
The first antibody made by the Immune System when attacked by an antigen (enemy invader).
Immunological Memory
The memory that the Immune System uses to remember how it attacked and destroyed a foreign antigen in the past. Because of this memory, subsequent attacks by the same antigen will result in an immune response one thousand times more efficient and aggressive.
Inner Coat
A second layer of protection for the HIV, made of fat and proteins, protecting the HIV inner core.
Inner Core
The HIV genetic code that provides the HIV the information and tools it needs to be an effective antigen to the human Immune System.
One of the three enzymes needed for HIV to take control of the T-4 helper cell's genetic code.
Interleukin 2
A chemical messaging system used to facilitate communication between the T-4 helper cells and the rest of Immune System defenses.
Powerful chemical compounds stored in many of the white blood cells of the Immune System. They are highly effective against enemy antigens.
(Greek for "big eater") A special white blood cell whose primary function is intelligence gathering. It works with the other cells in the Immune System by capturing foreign antigens, processing them internally, and presenting them to the T-4 helper cell for further analysis. Macrophages are also capable of destroying antigens.
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)
A group of six different genes responsible for the proteins on the surface of every nucleated cell in the human body. These surface proteins are unique; no two individuals share the same protein structures unless they are identical twins. They play a critical role in the Immune System, and also in the compatibility of transplanted organs.
Outer Coat
The protective coat found on the HIV.
The process used by the macrophage to capture a foreign antigen for internal analysis.
The container inside the macrophage that holds the foreign antigen for analysis.
Plasma Cell
A highly specialized cell that results from the transformation of a B-cell. More powerful than a B-cell, it can create over two thousand antibodies per second.
Pneumocystis Pneumonia
A fungus that lives in the lungs of most people without causing problems, held in check by a normally functioning Immune System. When the Immune System is destroyed by HIV/AIDS, the fungus breaks free and causes pneumonia, severe lung infection.
An enzyme within the inner core of the HIV, which gives the HIV the ability to take over the T-4 helper cell. The T-4 helper cell is sacrificed to manufacture more HIV cells.
A virus that stores its genetic information as RNA, but translates it back to DNA before replicating. This process is the reverse of the usual and requires a special viral enzyme called Reverse Transcriptase. HIV is one example of a retrovirus.
Reverse Transcriptase
The enzyme in the core of the HIV required for capture of a T-4 helper cell.
Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)
A nucleic acid found in the nucleus and cytoplasm of a cell, responsible for production of protein and for transcription and translation.
The "manufacturing plant" in living cells, producing protein. Most cells contain hundreds of ribosomes.
T-4 Helper Cell
Protozoan infection of the brain in patients with advanced HIV/AIDS.
White blood cell made in the bone marrow. Its main function is tactical command and execution of Immune System operations.
A gland near the heart where T-Cells, made in the bone marrow, mature and undergo "thymic education". The thymus disappears at puberty.
Variable Portion
That part of an antibody that makes it unique. It is used to lock a specific antigen and destroy it.
An obligate parasite that thrives and reproduces by infecting other cells and taking over that cell's manufacturing and reproductive machinery. Viruses have their own genetic material but cannot survive without a host.

What type of hair do you have?
straight medium thick hair (gets frizzy if I don't tame it) lol
What color is your hair currently? My natural hair color is very dark, so my hair is almost black. Tips brownish from old dye..
What colors have you dyed/highlighted your hair? I was always famous for having hot pink and black hair.. Half and half. This was way before the blonde on top, dark brown on bottom phase happened. (I think to think that was my original idea!)
If you could dye your hair any color, what would it be? I like to have my hair burgundy. More purple then red.
What is your hair's length? I recently cut my hair into a long a-line. This is the shortest it has ever been, and I love it(:

(A training initiative to create employable skills)
Hunar Se Rozgar Tak – An initiative of the Government of India, Ministry of Tourism – Implementation by private bodies / industrial units – 1. The Government of India, Ministry of Tourism ( MoT ) had launched a special initiative, called Hunar Se Rozgar Tak ( HSRT ), in the year 2009-10, for creation of employable skills specific to Hospitality and Tourism Sector amongst youth. This initiative has since grown manifold in magnitude and size.
GNA University initiated 5 batches of HSRT in the session 2015- 2016 namely:
a) A six-week full time course in Food & Beverage Service.-1 batch
b) An eight-week full time course in Food Production. – 2 batch
d) An eight-week full time course in Bakery and Patisserie. – 2 batches
To target those who are minimum eighth pass and in the age group of 18 to 28 years
A trainee with a minimum attendance of 90% will be paid lump sum stipend of Rs. 1,500/- in respect of the 6 weeks course and Rs. 2,000/- in respect of the 8 weeks course. The stipend will be paid in two equal instalments – first one in the middle of the Programme and the other at its conclusion
The trainees with minimum attendance of 90% will be required to appear in an end-of-the course test and those who pass it successfully will be awarded joint certificate of the GNA University/ Implementing Agency concerned. For the purpose of this test, there will be one internal and one external examiner – the latter will be drawn from a panel firmed up by the GNA University. The Principal will have the discretion for the reasons to be recorded in writing to relax the attendance norm by 10% for the purpose of stipend and appearance in test.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: My car stalls at idle and the lights get dim , when I am moving no problem on 2003 Chrysler PT CruiserEdit
when I am at a stop the car wants to stall and does stall from time to time. the interior light dim off and on have a battery thats only 3 months old

Check the battery for full charge, and CCA are a least half of the amount listed on the battery. If it is low charge the battery to full. Next check the cables for loose or dirty connections repair as needed. Next check the belt to altenator, and belt tensioner the belt should be in good condition and tight. Next check to be sure Alternator is putting out about 14.5 volts if not and everything else has been checked and ok the Alternator may be your culpret, it may just be charging enough to keep engine running with no electrical components running. Many new batteries come off the shelf needing a charge, who knows how long they been sitting on the shelf waiting for you to come buy them.

Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of attending a half day summit featuring Mitch Joel (author of Six Pixels of Separation), Julien Smith and Chris Brogan (authors of Trust Agents). The event was put on by the Women Tech Council and I was a guest of Pounders Grill (an amazing Hawaiian food restaurant here in Utah, highly recommended). All three presentations were inspirational and all three men are very down-to-earth, genuine human beings. Though they are presenting, the vibe is much like that of an engaging conversation. However, one area jumped out at me:
Be The Lead Goose
Growing up as a kid in Idaho, I would often see Canadian geese fly overhead during their seasonal migrations. Similar to the picture above, the geese fly in a V formation. As many of us know the lead goose puts in the most effort and makes flying easier for all the other geese in the V.
Julien compared the V to your network and you should be the lead goose. That means you've got to make things easier for your network. But how?
- Invite, Invite, Invite – You may have overcome the temptation to sit on the couch, but others in your network may need a little help. Invitations can help get people off the couch, because you have 0% chance of making connections at home, but at least some chance if you go out. This works for your business life and your social life.
- Carpool – If an invite isn't enough, carpool. Every little bit of motivation helps.
- Make Introductions – If you're talking with one acquaintance and another comes to say hi, introduce your other friend. Better still, include a compliment in the intro.
- Follow-up – This includes not only connecting on LinkedIn or following someone on Twitter, but making sure you follow up on any promises you made. Did you say you'd introduce them to a friend? Do it. Did you say you wanted to have lunch sometime? Schedule it.
What are you doing to be the lead goose?

The identification of isolation signatures is fundamental to better understand the genetic structure of human populations and to test the relations between cultural factors and genetic variation. However, with current approaches, it is not possible to distinguish between the consequences of long-term isolation and the effects of reduced sample size, selection and differential gene flow. To overcome these limitations, we have integrated the analysis of classical genetic diversity measures with a Bayesian method to estimate gene flow and have carried out simulations based on the coalescent. Combining these approaches, we first tested whether the relatively short history of cultural and geographical isolation of four "linguistic islands" of the Eastern Alps (Lessinia, Sauris, Sappada and Timau) had left detectable signatures in their genetic structure. We then compared our findings to previous studies of European population isolates. Finally, we explored the importance of demographic and cultural factors in shaping genetic diversity among the groups under study. A combination of small initial effective size and continued genetic isolation from surrounding populations seems to provide a coherent explanation for the diversity observed among Sauris, Sappada and Timau, which was found to be substantially greater than in other groups of European isolated populations. Simulations of micro-evolutionary scenarios indicate that ethnicity might have been important in increasing genetic diversity among these culturally related and spatially close populations. © 2013 Capocasa et al.

We have surveyed 15 high-altitude adaptation candidate genes for signals of positive selection in North Caucasian highlanders using targeted re-sequencing. A total of 49 unrelated Daghestani from three ethnic groups (Avars, Kubachians, and Laks) living in ancient villages located at around 2,000 m above sea level were chosen as the study population. Caucasian (Adygei living at sea level, N = 20) and CEU (CEPH Utah residents with ancestry from northern and western Europe; N = 20) were used as controls. Candidate genes were compared with 20 putatively neutral control regions resequenced in the same individuals. The regions of interest were amplified by long- PCR, pooled according to individual, indexed by adding an eight-nucleotide tag, and sequenced using the Illumina GAII platform. 1,066 SNPs were called using false discovery and false negative thresholds of ∼6%. The neutral regions provided an empirical null distribution to compare with the candidate genes for signals of selection. Two genes stood out. In Laks, a non-synonymous variant within HIF1A already known to be associated with improvement in oxygen metabolism was rediscovered, and in Kubachians a cluster of 13 SNPs located in a conserved intronic region within EGLN1 showing high population differentiation was found. These variants illustrate both the common pathways of adaptation to high altitude in different populations and features specific to the Daghestani populations, showing how even a mildly hypoxic environment can lead to genetic adaptation. © The Author(s) 2011.

South Asian populations harbor a high degree of genetic diversity, due in part to demographic history. Two studies on genome-wide variation in Indian populations have shown that most Indian populations show varying degrees of admixture between ancestral north Indian and ancestral south Indian components. As a result of this structure, genetic variation in India appears to follow a geographic cline. Similarly, Indian populations seem to show detectable differences in diabetes and obesity prevalence between different geographic regions of the country. We tested the hypothesis that genetic variation at diabetes-and obesity-associated loci may be potentially related to different genetic ancestries. We genotyped 2977 individuals from 61 populations across India for 18 SNPs in genes implicated in T2D and obesity. We examined patterns of variation in allele frequency across different geographical gradients and considered state of origin and language affiliation. Our results show that most of the 18 SNPs show no significant correlation with latitude, the geographic cline reported in previous studies, or by language family. Exceptions include KCNQ1 with latitude and THADA and JAK1 with language, which suggests that genetic variation at previously ascertained diabetes-associated loci may only partly mirror geographic patterns of genome-wide diversity in Indian populations. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd/University College London.

"Tremendous Service at the eye department"
About: Queen's Medical Centre / Ophthalmology Queen's Medical Centre Ophthalmology NG7 2UH
Posted by Gloriatilly (as ),
The NHS gets so much bad press so I would like to give my congratulations to the management and staff of the QMC eye department for the quality of service that they provide.
I visited the eye casualty department at 12 noon last Wedenesday because I was losing some sight in my right eye. I was assesed within an hour and told I had a detached retina. Within an hour I was seen by Mr Orr the eye consultant and team. They were excellent and put me at ease regarding the opration I needed next morning.
I returned to the QMC at 7-30am the next morning in a very nervous state to have my retina reattached. The staff were wonderful and put me at ease. The anaesthetist was a lovely gentleman who suggested I should have the operation done with a local rather than general anaesthetic. I was very nervous about this option but I am so glad that I took his advice as there was no pain.
By lunch time I was on my way home!
The department seems to be very well managed with everything "joined" up to produce a professional and relaxed atnosphere.

Overcoming its reputation as a blending grape once and for all, the 2014 Cabernet Franc kicks butt as a single varietal.
Overcoming its reputation as a blending grape once and for all, the 2014 Cabernet Franc kicks butt as a single varietal. Floral aromas mix with dark chocolate, black cherry and strong brewed tea. Brooding yet sexy flavors of dusty, dark chocolate-covered cherries and blackberries combine with clove and anise to reveal an elegant yet subtly powerful wine. Tannins approach quietly and integrate nicely with a lush texture. This wine will benefit from 30 minutes of decanting before enjoying and will continue to develop personality over the next ten years. It would pair nicely with a savory duck breast, slow roasted beef or a five spice pork belly.
Eight miles north of San Pablo Bay, the Bundschu family's 150+ year of vineyard wraps around the southwest slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains. It's here that our eight acres of Cabernet
Franc vineyards experience a 10 degree heat difference from the valley floor during the summer growing season, allowing the fruit to fully ripen. Planted at 100 feet elevation with the Mt Veeder clone in 1999 and 2005, it features Rhyolitic ash and alluvial wash soil so the vines struggle to reach root depth. This combination produces deeply colored, extracted but balanced wines. Yields 4 tons/acre.
A favorite with many of our Gun Bun fans, Cabernet Franc is one of our very small production wines. Rhinefarm delivers some pretty fantastic tannin and weight to this grape. It's often
used as a blending grape in France, where hails from, but bottling this varietal alone offers a glimpse into the spicy characteristics inherent in Rhinefarm's soil. This year, our Cabernet Franc is floral but other vintages it's spice-driven. But never, ever boring. We let the grape be what it wants to be while still keeping an eye on it during the growing season.
Blessed as the third great Cabernet vintage in a row, 2014 is like a culmination of the previous two: the lush fruit and approachability of 2012 and 2013's power and structure. More info »
Rhinefarm is the name our founder gave to our land when he purchased it in 1858. But this pack highlights more of our modern history with 3 estate driven wines that carry great stories about a certain 5th generation Bundschu. For another time More info »

I hardly ever bribe my children to do something. But I recently decided to bribe my eldest son into reading regularly. I promised to give him a small prize for every book he finishes (we're keeping a chart, so he can see how well he's doing also). I think this is fine, because it's encouraging him to read (very important) which is not his favourite thing to do. I also know that it won't lead to other kinds of bribery for things like good behaviour, and so on. But perhaps you might think it's wrong to bribe children, no matter what you're bribing them to do?
sort by best latest
Incentive, not bribery!
I do it for things like chores with my 12 year old. He gets it. "Take a shower and tidy your room, then you can ________."
Reading is different for me, because it shouldn't be a chore. I understand it is not everyone's favorite thing though-- both my sons love reading-- they see me reading all the time and probably wanted to see what all the fuss is about.

I would have to say no. Bribery can lead to asking for more bribes down the road. You think it won't, but I have seen it over many years of both raising kids, and working with them. I believe in encouraging children to read, as reading is important. It doesn't say how old he is, but maybe you could encourage him by reading together. I got my son to read by doing plays with him. He didn't like to read, but he did it so he could act out the part. Have him pick out a book and ask him what he thinks about it. Have him come up with an alternative ending.
There are so many ways to get kids to read, and I don't believe bribes should be one of them.
Good luck.

I think there is nothing wrong with bribing (if that is the word that should be used here) a child , or anyone for that matter.
The whole life experience is a series of stops and starts, rewards and punishments. I would have loved to have been bribed to read, as a child, because I already loved reading and I would have though of the "bribe" as being an added bonus (Is there a subtracted bonus?).
Think about going to work, and not being "bribed" with a salary or wages - "Don't worry, Boss, I don't need to be bribed with money. I'll just do this because I love it".
Yeah! Right.
Think of it this way; if the child finds that he/she likes reading, then the bribe was worth it, and if not, it was a try,
You can always beat the crap out of him if he refuses to read when the bribes dry up.
Ha ha!

Senator Farley Opposes Proposed Closings of State Parks
State Senator Hugh T. Farley (R, C, I - Schenectady) co-hosted a press conference today in Albany and stressed his opposition to the proposed closure of State parks by the Governor. The Senator met on March 2nd with local tourism officials from Fulton, Montgomery, Saratoga and Schenectady counties on this topic. On March 3rd, Senator Farley also met with members of SOS Parks (Save Our State Parks) who visited him in his Albany office before attending a massive rally in front of the Capitol. In each meeting, Senator Farley voiced his strong opposition to closing "these treasured facilities" that includes Johnson Hall and Schoharie Creek Crossing.
"I believe the closure of these facilities is shortsighted and counterproductive. State parks and historic sites improve our quality of life and provide important recreational, educational and cultural benefits. They also represent a commitment to both our past and our future. Furthermore, from a purely monetary standpoint, the relatively small amount of projected savings is far outweighed by the short-term and long-term costs of closure. These closures will undermine and devastate our efforts to promote tourism. This will have negative repercussions for our State's economy, especially on those local communities that rely on tourism," Senator Farley said.

The level of social recovery achieved by a representative series of 50 young adults was assessed six months after a severe closed head injury (post-traumatic amnesia greater than 24 hours). Work, leisure activities, and contact with friends were the areas of life most affected, whereas family life and marital relationships appeared to withstand changes at this stage in the recovery process. Many patients were still suffering from subjective symptoms, but these appeared to have relatively minor effects on ability to resume normal activities. Physical disability was a much more important factor at this stage. A control group of patients with limb injuries suffered similar disruption of their lives, but reported few subjective complaints.

We all know a guy who cleans up every meal time, finishing off everyone else's meals as well as his own – he's essentially a human Hoover. Well, now is time to put him to the test – with this epic Man Vs Food Challenge.
And, when we say challenge – this is not to be taken lightly. To complete this challenge, a concoction of burgers, fries, onion rings, coleslaw, chocolate brownies and a drink must be consumed in massive quantities. If the challenge is completed (meat sweats 'n' all), he'll receive a complimentary T-shirt as a trophy for their success. The legendary Man Vs Food Challenge will take place in one of Newcastle's biggest and best restaurant-come-bar-come-clubs, Tiger Tiger – so you can wash down your feast with a few trebles for good measure.

Anchoring in Anchorage
While she's no Chris Hassel (who last night called Iowa back up QB "number B") or John Meyer, Sarah Palin was a TV Sports Anchor twenty years ago.
It seems to me there was another western Governor that was a former sports broadcaster.
Both were completely underestimated by the media and the Dummycrats.
And the scientific community is united in that fact.

Melbourne society is mourning one of the last of its grandes dames, Dulcie Slingback, fashion writer and arbiter elegantiarum to the wealthy and well-born for more years than anyone can remember. A striking figure in her signature colours of puce and tangerine with royal blue accessories, Miss Slingback ("never Ms!" as she once told an Age reporter) was believed to be 106.
Although she had previously enjoyed a reputation for well-bred reticence, Miss Slingback caused a flutter in social dovecotes when in the 1990s she published her memoirs What Would You Like For Breakfast? In it she revealed intimate details of her private life and named some of Australia's best known men, most of them public figures, with whom she said "I have enjoyed breakfast - and I am not an early riser." The names of these "dear dear friends" read like a who's who of the Australian establishment. Prime minister Billy Hughes, for instance, she described in her book as "a wiry little monkey with his hands all over the place, presentable except that he drank his breakfast tea out of the saucer". Another sometime prime minister, Stanley Melbourne Bruce, "never took off his spats, not even for a bubble bath before retiring". General Sir John Monash "surprised me by appearing at breakfast in a negligee". The gangster "Squizzy" Taylor "brought fifteen minders to breakfast and gave me a Georgian silver coffee pot that turned out to be 'hot'". Henry Lawson "insisted on lighting a camp fire and boiling a breakfast billy in the middle of my drawing-room carpet". The medical missionary Dr John Flynn ("Flynn of the Inland") "liked nothing better than a game of doctors and nurses before breakfast." Foreign minister Lord Casey was "very formal; even after a number of breakfasts he never called me anything other than 'my dear Miss Slingback'". Names were a difficulty for another politician, Sir Billy Snedden. "He could never remember mine. He must have had so many breakfasts - usually, I understand, in motels - though I think he often skipped that part of the proceedings."
Her comments on her famous breakfast companions were frank if not uniformly flattering. The aviation pioneer Charles Kingsford-Smith "was so handsome in his goggles and leather flying cap though his teeth could have done with a bit of work". He liked to have his breakfast served "on one of those horrible little plastic tray things they give you in aeroplanes when you're flying steerage - at least I've been told they do, I myself have always 'turned left'." Celebrated comedian "Mo" Roy Rene she described as "not too keen on soap and water" with "breath that would melt Ayers Rock". Peter Dawson "practised his singing all night, which became a bit of a bore. Every time I dropped off I'd wake within five minutes to 'The Floral Dance' or 'Boots boots boots, marching up and down again'. He was not asked to breakfast again." Australia's greatest dancer, Sir Robert Helpmann, was described in Miss Slingback's book as "very athletic and a bit Betty Bothways - in fact much more one way than the other - but willing to try anything". The mining magnate Lang Hancock "looked like a toad, though he had plenty of what counted".
For over half a century Miss Slingback contributed the column "What the Well Dressed Dowager is Wearing" to Vogue Australia ("and I never missed an edition," she used to boast over her trademark breakfast martini). Her passing certainly marks the end of an era.

Actually, environmental racism has every thing to do with it, the Governor's clean conscience however, and each Michigander needs to understand how it does so we will perceive the issues of our struggling cities in addition to our poor rural areas.
Lastly, I'm ALL FOR maternity go away. It is a ENORMOUS and necessary element of breastfeeding support. And also you better consider breastfeeding advocates comprehend it and talk about it LOTS. It doesn't suggest that the hospital isn't vital too, and is a spot where public well being officials can really make a concrete, speedy difference. People who find themselves sabotaged within the hospital do not ever make it to 2-three months out as it's. I did some number-crunching for a WIC office and 50% of their mothers who initiated breastfeeding stopped in the first two weeks. There is a enormous drop-off after the much-vaunted ninety% initiation, and that actually starts within the hospital for many individuals.
This explains why the examine talked about above found that after 12 months Nicotine Replacement Therapy had a failure rate of over 85%! That is an even worse file than Zyban. Plus you're still consuming the addictive poison that you simply need to get away from! I agree. Advice is seldom helpful except the individual giving it understands you as an individual in every facet, in any other case they are merely saying (without realizing) what they 'would' do or 'ought to' do, not you.
It turns out Ronald Reagan had about as a lot to do with the Berlin wall coming down as Jesus Jones. His true legacy in battling the Soviets was 4 trillion dollars unnecessarily added to the national debt. Oh, and a well-armed Afghan residence-group generally known as the Taliban. Oops. So as to add your name to our advocacy effort, download our official endorsement assertion , signal it and e mail or fax it to Chantal Lalonde by March 15th 2015. Beverley Byer has been writing on and offline for numerous years. Her work has been published in magazines and newspapers.
Over 25 years successful experience in Medication; Health- and I/ Psychology; STEM, STEAM and different training, research, and sports activities training. There are three neighborhood parks within the space, Witter Park, Heath Park, and Mission Park. There are also two mini parks as they're known as; these are Logan Peace Park and Foothills Park. Anyway you would say Obama (and Hillary) are on the facet of Ishmael and that may carry no good to anybody.
