These studies help to spot and analyze links between diverse exposure factors (genetic, biological, environmental, behavioral, demographic, social, cultural and so on) and the subsequent occurrence of adverse health events (e.g. diseases, accidents, mood swings or behavioral disorders) while the cohort participants are being followed up.
They therefore pave the way to genuinely etiological research as they establish statistically significant links between exposures and/or risk factors and the appearance of negative health events.
Accordingly, they provide reasons for possible causal links between factors or exposures measured and the health events listed. They also create the opportunity for comprehensive research on the sequence over time of mechanisms and processes that lead to somatic or psychological illnesses. This comprehensive research is particularly useful in the field of behavioral risks (e.g. eating disorders or addictive behavior) for the purposes of health education and prevention.
"General" cohort studies which usually recruit participants from the general population. These studies cover an open scope of health problems and follow-up may continue over several decades. The GAZEL cohort study, which has been following up a number of current and retired employees of the French electricity company EDF on the basis of a broad spectrum of health indicators, is a good example.
"Thematic" cohort studies which focus on one disease or a family of diseases. Participants may be recruited from among the general population, but usually they come from the clinical population. These studies monitor the occurrence and development over time of the diseases being studied (particularly chronic diseases) as well as the treatment effects with a view to evaluating treatments.
Within Inserm, 89 cohorts spontaneously declared by researchers are listed in Inserm's database on research. A significant proportion of these cohorts are thematic: malignant tumors (17), infectious diseases (15), neuropsychiatric disorders (10), cardiovascular diseases (6), musculoskeletal disorders (6), endocrine and metabolic disorders (6).
More generally, 340 investigations are currently under way within some fifty Inserm structures (laboratories, clinical investigation centers, registers):
In 2008, the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (French Ministry of Higher Education and Research) and the Directorate-General for Health (French Ministry of Health) decided to set up a procedure for evaluating and selecting large cohorts in the health field with a view to funding them through the "Very Large Research Infrastructures" program (TGIR in French).
An initial call for funding was launched in 2008. The French Public Health Institute (ISP) was entrusted with running the evaluation and funding procedure, with the support of the French Institute for Public Health Research (IReSP), which is a Scientific Interest Group (GIS) placed under the authority of the ISP and federating all public health research partners. This call for funding brought in 96 applications. After the application evaluation procedure, 20 cohort projects were selected and received funding.
A second call for funding will be launched in 2009. A detailed description of the evaluation procedure for this call for funding can be consulted on the IReSP website.

Discussion in 'Bible Study' started by smellycat, Mar 15, 2008.
are there fe-male angels
can angels re-produce with each other.?
I do not believe anywhere it the Bible does it specify female angel, but then again I do not have enough knowledge to say whether there is a gender.
I would certainly say angels do not re-produce.
What sex are the angels?
The word angel is always masculine. Psalms 104:4 angels are spirits. Do angels marry?
No: Matthew 22:28-30 and Mark 12:25 "For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
Who is The Devil, Satan?
Click on the link in the previous post, "Who is the deveil, Satan"? You will get further information regarding Angels.
As spiritual beings it is doubtful that angels are male nor female but who can say for sure?
did not angels take any women they wanted,and there children were giants.?
Yes Mike the fallen angels indeed did. God's angels at least in my opinion do not procreate as they are eternal beings.
Mar 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
But again, nobody can be dogmatic about these things as we are not told everything. God's Word doesn't tell us everything but does tell us all we need to know for now. We have everything we need pertaining to life and godliness

Rob over at The Adventure of Strategy offers this post called, Dream Teams or Dysfunctional Nightmares. In the post he discusses a recent Fortune article about dream teams that fail. He writes:
Dream Teams are a beguiling idea. Assemble a team made up of the very best brains and success will be assured, right.......? All too often: No, not really.
Hmmm.... I think Rob's post is spot on as it relates to the ups and downs of putting several super talented people together on a team.
What's gnawing at me is that I would not have defined DREAM TEAM in the way Fortune did. To me, a dream team is one where the chemistry and relationship amongst the team members is so good that they ROCK together. Sure, it is important that they are all talented, but they don't each have to be the #1 player of their functional game.
Let's face it, Seattle is not known for its sports teams lately. But in 2001 the Mariners won an unheard of 116 games. Why - many say it was a team dynamic. They together rocked. Of course, they lost the big dance - the team did not rock on that day.
I think dream team is a state - and a team can go in and out of dreaminess. The same individuals can rock together one day and not on the next.
I am not saying that all teams can be dream teams - there is some chemistry involved. I was a member of a small dream team while at Black & Decker in the late 80s. My manager (the Director of HR), my peer (the HR manager) and I (training manager) were a powerful triad of results. Together we rocked. Our styles clicked and encouraged the very best from one another. To this day, I compare all work experiences to this one. We were so successful that we all got promoted. Dream team gone.
Which are you trying to create - a dream team (my definition) or a collection of dreamboats who compete against one another or pass in the night? I believe hiring for fit - for the potential of high chemistry and relationship - is so important. I wrote about that recently here.
I hope to one day be a member of a dream team again. It's a blast - a rush - and very fulfilling. I also think it is pretty rare. If you are a member of a dream team (my definition) show your appreciation and enjoy the time together.

I declare 2007 the year of the breakthrough!
Breakthroughs for you, breakthroughs for me, and breakthroughs for those who we touch. Breakthroughs for the world.
While in New Zealand, I came in contact with one of nature's most beautiful fractals - the fiddle-head. In overly simple terms, a fractal is a shape that continues itself whether you zoom in or zoom out. I love fractals.
The fiddle-head is the sprout of a fern leaf.
This curly wonder is the
inspiration behind the Maori (New Zealand indigineous people) symbol called the Koru. The Koru
symbolizes new growth, beginnings, harmony, and peace.
It's the
symbol that makes up my website logo, too. And this is somewhat by serendipity. I have always loved spirals and their fractal nature, so I asked my graphic artist to work up logos using a spiral. I never consciously thought of the fiddle-head or meaning of the koru, though - until my trip to New Zealand. My logo was everywhere (and in basically the same color)!
So it is with this symbol of new beginnings that I declare 2007 the year of the breakthrough. This ties into my personal genius, which is catalyzing breakthroughs (Dick, I know you don't think this is my fully baked genius, but I am still here at the moment). This focus also ties into my mission to help managers and leaders produce amazing results and build great companies. How I will punctuate the year of breakthroughs:
Join me in embracing breakthrough generation in 2007 (or what's left of 2006 - no time like the present!). Define a breakthrough goal for January. What could happen in January that would make a big positive difference to your life and to others with whom you interact?
One personal breakthrough I hope to acheive aside from my work in business arena is to develop a more successful (emphasis on quality) creative writing practice. To that end, I started a new blog called Essay a Smile. If you enjoy essays or poems or posts about writing, check it out.

Now 7 days until 2007. As I mentioned a couple days ago, I am going to focus on my daily approach to work and
life instead of setting end goal resolutions. I do have goals, for sure, but for the new year, I am thinking about approach.As a reminder, here's how I set this up in the first post: In each action we take or situation, we can ADD, SUBTRACT, or have a
minimal impact. For ourselves and for others. I think it would be
useful to think about moving the overall life needle further into the
ADD column. This can apply to anything.
Today I will focus on writing about connections with people. As manager, leaders, consultants, coaches, or just people trying to get things done, we need to cultivate each and every exchange we have with people.
Each conversation either ADDS, SUBTRACTS from the relationship or leaves it unchanged. Even the small hallway greetings and the lunch room how-dee-doos. Covey had a name for this, he called it the emotional bank account.
When I think about the situations that most often subtract, one word comes to mind: CONTROL. When we seek control over another person, we sap energy and collaboration right out of the relationship. Even when our intentions are good, control is evil juice for connections.
And really, we can't control people anyway, so why try?
But we do. I often do. As I have written many times, I am a recovering control freak and I recognize that when I let my controlling instincts kick in, I generally subtract from the relationship.
Chip, chip, chipping away. A little at a time. It might take years before things fall apart, but that does not matter because in the mean time, the relationship has not lived up to its potential.
To add to the relationship, I need to be in a mindset of contribution and service. I need to appreciate people more fully and see their amazing uniqueness. I need to listen more fully and show a genuine interest in others. This shift is huge and creates a positive energy that ADDS to the relationship.
So that's something important to focus on - adding to the relationship with every conversation.
Goal - ADD more and in more ways.

In case you are interested, here are some pictures from my recent trip to New Zealand.
My pictures on Flickr
Bill's pictures
I would like to recognize a few places that I would recommend to others traveling to New Zealand. These are just a few of the places we stopped and they are, in my mind, the best of the best (this does not mean fancy, by the way).
Bethell's Beach Cottages - Near Auckland and right on the Tasman Sea. Trude and John are great. Trude's family has been in this area for generations (she is a Bethell). Spend a bit more to get the large cottage that faces right out onto the sea - it's amazing.
Okarito Kiwi Tours - Ian takes people out into the woods at night to search for kiwi birds in their natural habitat. Seeing a kiwi in the wild is very rare. They are endangered and the Okarito Brown Kiwi is the most endangered subspecies (only 250). But Ian knows their territory and is the only one with a concession from the government to take people into kiwi territory. It's a great experience (nice night skies, too). We saw one male kiwi named CC - 15 years old. Did you know kiwi can live or 50 years?
Sea Kayaking Marlborough Sounds - We did a three day kayak trip that included a stay at Lochmara lodge (see below). It was a highlight of our trip and this company had real nice kayaks.
Lochmara Lodge - This place is really cool. You can only get these by boat (kayak) or by foot. We stayed there two night in conjunction with our three day kayaking. The lodge is on Queen Charlotte Sound, which is one of the Marlborough Sounds. There are several nice hikes and it's a real nature lover's experience (but the rooms are very nice and modern).
The Springs Bed & Breakfast - This is the place we stayed in Rotorua. The couple that own The Springs does a great job at thinking of everything. The rooms are very well equipped. The full hot breakfast is wonderful and we loved sipping sherry in the evenings in the large sitting room. Each room includes a book with restaurant and tour recommendations.
Franz Josef Helihike - We took a helicopter up to the Franz Josef Glacier then hiked around with a guide. It was a bit challenging, but very fun.
Holiday Inn Crown Plaza - Queenstown - I don't generally like staying in US chain hotels when abroad, but the HICR has simply the best view and is right in the heart of Queenstown. You can walk to everything. Ask for a room overlooking the lake. While in Queenstown, we ate at the Wai, which was very good (get the spaghetti and meatballs appetizer - trust me, it is very unique and tasty, as are their oysters).
Bill enjoyed trying the Possum Pie at Pete's. This place was very amusing. Kiwis are quick to point out that their possums are nothing like those found in the US. They are soft and furry and good eatin'.
The George - Christchurch - This boutique hotel was very nice and the restaurant (Pescatore) was tops. They offer free internet on two lobby computers and a nice atmosphere to relax. The hotel is situated on the Hagley Park (a nice park to walk in) and a few blocks from the center of town. The service was excellent throughout our stay.
While in NZ we got turned onto Icebreaker - merino wool active wear. simply the best. A bit expensive, but they apparently last a long time. Super fast drying and odor resistant. They have a US distributer and you can oder online.
Five Rivers Cafe (and art gallery), south of Queenstown, was a group favorite.

Sally Hogshead offers marketing advice to Christmas, Inc. Very funny. Here's a snippet:
Market share: Christianity holds a leadership position with two billion consumers, but you're losing share to competitors such as Hinduism and startups like Wicca. To boost Christian population, encourage holiday alcohol consumption. See also: eggnog energy drink.
And I love what Ikea has done in London for their employees (9000 of them) for Christmas - given them all bikes! Ikea is encouraging people to take bikes to work. Super.

10 days until 2007 is here. Instead of concrete goals like "sell 84 million books," I am going to focus on my daily approach to work and life.
In each action we take or situation, we can ADD, SUBTRACT, or have a minimal impact. For ourselves and for others. I think it would be useful to think about moving the overall life needle further into the ADD column. This can apply to anything.
Today I will focus on writing about transportation. In 2007, I would like to make more daily transportation choices that either ADD to preserving the planet or have a minimal impact. This means adopting the method of transport that has the lowest emissions. Walking or biking more, then public transport (tough one for me, I hate the bus) or my motorcycle, then the car. It also means batching car trips to reduce time on the road - doing coffee shop meetings on one day of the week instead of three. And doing business over the internet when possible versus hopping on a plane. And our next car will definitely be a hybrid (honestly, for the vast majority of people, buying an SUV or heavy gas guzzling car is simply irresponsible). Anything less than 40 MPH is not good enough (higher is even better). I am also keeping an eye out for a decent electric or hybrid motorcycle - several companies are working on them.
I will also be cognizant of the trips I cause others to make and reduce those when possible.
And I will not be afraid to encourage others to do the same. I intend to write my congresswoman to suggest they get rid of the business tax write off for vehicles over 6000 pounds (except for farmers or businesses that legitimately need trucks). Most of the people I know who have bought big SUVs to get the tax cut don't need an SUV at all.
Bill and I have a 2000 Kia Sportage - a small SUV - right now. We like to have it for big Costco runs and the odd adventure into the woods. We talked about what it would feel like to be without it and decided that's the right thing to do. We can rent an SUV a couple times a year when we need one. So the Kia will eventually be traded in on a Prius. I'm selling my Saab Convertible, too. We think we can get by with one car and one motorcycle, 4 feet, 2 bikes, 2 kayaks, 1 row boat, and 4 pulling dogs. This is not about money - we think it's just the right thing to do.
I want to feel good about my approach to greenhouse gas production from transportation.
T minus 10 days to 2007. I will share other topics of approach over the next 9 days.

New Year's Resolutions embody our heartfelt life-improvement intentions. The most common New Year's Resolutions are to lose weight and get in shape, find a better job, spend more quality time with loved ones, quit smoking, get organized, travel more and reduce debt. Experts agree that you should have clear, concise and easy-to-implement ideas in mind. Planning is also important.
Give yourself a few weeks prior to the craziness of the holiday season to really develop and familiarize yourself with your resolution plans, so the changes are less of a shock to your system and your daily routine. By having a few small yet significant resolutions which you can easily follow through on, you'll gain confidence for your more challenging long-term aspirations.
Consider the following:
- Using the latest county/city evaluation of your home, ensure that your homeowner's policy has adequate coverage for the value of your house, as well as the valuables you store inside.
- Track your daily mileage by keeping a small notebook or log in your glove box. This will not only help you budget for an oft-overlooked expense, but you may find ways to help cut down on the wear-and-tear of your vehicle.
- Take a look at your finances, your assets, your debt and your salary to ensure that you understand your worth. Doing this at least once a year is a great habit to get into, and you can use this information to determine whether you need additional insurance, such as a personal umbrella policy.
- Set the timer for 10 minutes each evening and focus on cleaning one room a night, and before you know it, your home will look more organized and visitor-worthy with very little effort. This will also help minimize the potential hazards of clutter, making your home safer and more valuable.
- If you are a habitual procrastinator, consider picking one task you typically put off and commit to doing it in a timely manner, like getting your oil changed consistently at the 3,000 mile mark. In addition to helping your vehicle run smoothly longer, doing this will give you a sense of accomplishment and help you achieve other minor victories.
Make this year different. Make this the year that you take a little time to set some reasonable, achievable goals for yourself. Be specific. Include details and minor changes that you can commit to long-term. Once these small changes become habit, you'll gain the confidence to begin working on your more challenging and long-term aspirations.
Be safe and have fun this New Year's Eve! May 2017 be your best year yet!
Many New Years Resolutions include finding ways to save money. Here are 15 easy ways to save $15 per week in the new year.

CLICK HERE to read Mosiah 25.
Now that Alma and the people he rescued were home, King Mosiah called for a gathering of the people (verse 1). By now there are more people gathered from Zarahemla than there are Nephites, but still those are less than half the number of Lamanites (verses 2-3). So the people of Nephi gathered in one group, and the people of Zarahemla gathered in one group (verse 4).
Then Mosiah did read to them the records of Zeniff, teaching them all the history of the people from the time they left Zarahemla to the time they got back (verse 5), including the experiences of Alma and his people (verse 6).
After hearing the adventures, experiences, and testimony of all these, "his people… were struck with wonder and amazement" (verse 7). There were so amazed that they did not know what to think, but when they "beheld those that had been delivered out of bondage they were filled with exceedingly great joy" (verse 8).
But they also grieved those who had been killed by the Lamanites (verse 9).
But they also "thought of the immediate goodness of God, and his power in delivering Alma and his brethren out of the hands of the Lamanites and of bondage, they did raise their voices and give thanks to God" (verse 10).
But they also thought about the Lamanites, and their "sinful and polluted state, and they were filled with pain and anguish for the welfare of their souls" (verse 11).
This is a big day for these people! Their joy keeps having reality checks, and their celebration is checked by grief. But what is beautiful is that while celebrating the faithfulness of their people, and giving credit to the Lord for responding to their obedience by delivering them out of bondage, they also recognize the need for the Lamanites to be delivered out of bondage as well. They have compassion upon them, realizing that these "bad guys" are in need of conversion.
But they also recognize the difference between those who do not yet know of covenants and covenant keeping, and those who have broken their covenants or rejected them.
"And it came to pass that those who were the children of Amulon and his brethren… were displeased with the conduct of their fathers, and they would no longer be called by the names of their fathers, therefore they took upon themselves the name of Nephi, that they might be called the children of Nephi…" (verse 12).
This is covenant-making.
Their names are changed because they are converting to the covenant.
So now there are more Zarahemla people and converts than there are actually Nephites, but they are all called Nephites because that is how the kingdom itself is passed down through descendants of Nephites (verse 13).
When King Mosiah finished teaching the people, he asked Alma to testify to them (verse 14).
Alma did go from one group to the next, teaching them and testifying to them, "preaching unto the people repentance and faith on the Lord" (verse 15). Most of all, he urged the people to remember "that it was the Lord that did deliver them" (verse 16). It's that important.
When Alma finished teaching the people, it was finally King Limhi's turn to get baptized! (verse 17). So Alma did baptize them, and they became converts to the church of God (verse 18).
King Mosiah granted Alma permission to continue his preaching "that he might establish churches throughout all the land of Zarahemla…" (verse 19). This was very much needed since there are now so many people converting to the church that they cannot "all hear the word of God in one assembly" (verse 20). So they "did assemble themselves together" in different churches, all a part of the same churches, just as we have wards in our church today – "for there was nothing preached in all the churches except it were repentance and faith in God" (verse 22).
"… And it came to pass that whosoever were desirous to take upon them the name of Christ, or of God, they did join the churches of God; and they were called the people of God. And the Lord did pour out his Spirit upon them, and they were blessed, and prospered in the land" (verse 24).
That "prospered in the land" refers to more than just temporal blessings. It means the presence of God. They were obedient, and making covenants, and keeping covenants, and so the Lord was able to pour out His Spirit upon them, so that they enjoyed His presence as they lived their lives. It is an example to us, that we may do the same.

(Pre-Ann) Project Jupiter: GPU Mining Operation
You know something is big when it gets a cool name :P. Hello Guys! I have decided to start an asset backed by GPU mining. I have been calculating profit margins, and I believe this could be a very profitable operation at this current time. Mining operations should always be very well planned before anything is bought, so this Pre-Ann will lay out everything I have been calculating and let the community decide if there are any flaws. I would like to release the official asset by this Saturday.
The Idea: The main plan of this is to use the funds from asset sales to build GPU Mining Rigs. The rigs will be hosted at my current dwelling. The estimate on the rig parts for one unit that I have planned is around $1300. Shares will be released in batches that approximate the cost of one rig. Each rig will have 5 RX 470 8GB GPUs to mine whatever is most profitable at the time. The payments will start as monthly and become every two weeks as we become larger. The eventual goal is to have a solid farm of 10+ rigs. Another goal is to eventually merge my first asset, StupenA, into this one, but I want to make sure this asset is solid before I do that.
As stated before, shares will be sold in batches that approximate the cost of one rig. The total amount of shares is planned at 1,000,000. The prices of the shares will go as the following:
- The shares that fund the first rig will be valued at 25 each.
- The shares that fund the second rig will be valued at 26 each.
- The shares that fund the third rig will be valued at 27 each.
- The shares that fund the fourth rig will be valued at 28 each.
- The shares that fund the fifth rig will be valued at 29 each.
- The shares that fund rigs past the first five will be valued at 30 each.
As you can see, late investors will still have a solid price to buy shares at. Batches will be released periodically when the following criteria are met:
- All of the other rigs are fully operational
- I am ready to build and operate another rig
Sometimes it might make sense to just release 2 batches at once because of a greater demand (like at the beginning of the asset). I will release more than one batch if I believe it is the the correct move. I will announce to everyone when I will release shares at least a day ahead of the release so that everyone has a fair chance to be there when shares are released.
Fees: The fees for any mining operation include the electricity cost and an operation fee. My electricity cost .09 USD per KWH + a 25% tax on bitcoin withdrawals. I plan to take use the rate .11 USD per KWH for my electricity fee. I have a watt meter that I can use to monitor the power usage of the rigs so this is not a problem. After electricity fees are taken, 15% of the remaining amount will be taken as the operation fee. This fee setup should provide solid payouts to the investors.
Payouts: After fees are subtracted, the remaining amount will be split like this:
- 75%-100% to investors
- 0%-25% for reinvestment/maintenance
This payout model allows me to do basic fixes and upgrades on rigs without having to release more shares. If there is nothing to upgrade or fix on the rigs, 100% will be payed out to investors. The max that can be used for fixes and upgrades for any given month is 25% which would leave 75% to investors. If anything very crucial came up that would need a bigger percentage, I would release an announcement here that will state what it is and let the investors decide if it is crucial enough to dedicate more funds to.
Personal Investors: Many of my personal friends have showed interest in investing in this new asset so shares would be distributed to them first before I release the rest of the shares to the asset exchange as a sell order. I will also be buying shares for myself on the first batch. I am estimating that the total amount that my personal friends and I invest before the first sell order will be around $600 leaving $700 of share for investors.
Asset Shutdown: If for some reason the asset had to be shut down, all of the rigs would be parted and sold on eBay or another similar website to try and gather as much funds as possible. The amount made from the sales would then be directly paid out to investors with 0 fee from me.
So what do y'all guys think? Leave any questions about anything here. I'm open to any ideas.
3 things come to mind for me #1 you dont currently have any of the equip to start this asset and all will be bought from funds from the sell of assets, IMO this falls in that grey area of not a true asset but yet also not a true crowdfund as you intend to pay out div's to payback funder's. #2 RX 470 4G cards use less power and have essentuly the same Hashing power as the 8G cards infact most people scale the 8G cards back to be on par with 4G cards for electric cost. #3 i would recomend you to pursue the personal investors you have first allow them to get your opperation started and get 1 minning rig up and running even if it does not have a full 5 card's with the investment from the personal investors befor you move to public launch, then at least you will be coming to the table with a functioning minning rig at start for public investing.
Edit i just reread the part about personal investors and it seems i skimmed over the befor first sell portion, if that also includes purchasing and building the first rig befor first public sell order launch then disreguard #3.
@Gibsalot To answer these concerns:
I have decided to take your advice and get a rig setup with my personal investors first and then we will start the public release of the asset. Just today I raised $600 of pledged funds and I plan to invest $400 myself. There are also many people that are thinking about investing so we should hopefully have the first rig completely built before the first release. :)
The reason I wanted 8GB cards was that they hash much better in Ethereum and Ethereum Classic (The 2 most profitable coins to mine right now). The reason is that they have much higher memory speeds than the 4GB version and these two coins have an algorithm that is highly reliant on the GPU ram speed. I will do some more calculating and see if it is better to go for the 4GB cards.
The first answer should address this concern.
Thank you for the feedback! Any feedback is helpful!
@stupendelious trust me undervolting with the rx 480 4gb is way more profitable, power matters a lot here, especially in a rig your building, 8gb might be at 2000MHZ but default stocks may put the card at over 90c
@HiDevin Yes, I have found videos about how to flash a better bios for the cards so now I see my flaw. @Gibsalot @HiDevin Thanks a lot guys for helping me find this flaw in my understanding :)
@stupendelious hope it goes well in bios flashing, ik im young, but i bricked a rx480 before its pretty easy to brick it
I like what stupen has been doing around here. I will invest a little bit if you stay unverified but if you verify I will invest a lot more.
@stupendelious Although not decided yet I think you should assume that if you want an Announcement and Project thread on the Forum that you will need to be Identity Verified including Age before it can be posted.

Reach out. The world is our family.
Run each semester, this initiative (Global Village) sends students overseas to disadvantaged communities to lend a helping hand in a local project. From building houses to teaching at local schools, it's a great way to immerse yourself in a culture, have fun, make friends for life, and sight see.
There are better ways to find yourself than by watching Eat, Pray, Love. This is truly a once in a lifetime experience that will be a space for personal, social and mental growth.
So what is Global Village?
Global Village is an Arc Volunteering Program that offers UNSW students the opportunity to volunteer in developing countries during uni breaks. In the last five years, Global Village volunteers have helped out in countries including India, Vanuatu, Sri Lanka, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Nepal, Fiji, and more. Our work is dynamic and diverse, but the shared purpose is to improve the circumstances of local communities by building upon existing capacities and learning from local knowledge. 2017 promises to be another fantastic year with some amazing trips planned in communities we continue to support.

Teleflex, Inc. recently announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its SSI Surgical Services, Inc. business to an unnamed, privately-owned multi-service line healthcare company for approximately $25 million. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close before the end of the first quarter of 2010.
SSI, with annual revenues of approximately $20 million, offers a range of endoscopic surgical services and sterile processing management services. "The decision to divest SSI was made following a review of our portfolio and it was determined that SSI was not a strategic fit. This allows us to continue to reallocate resources to our higher margin businesses," stated Jeffrey P. Black, chairman and chief executive officer.

Libraries folders somehow messed up and having trouble fixing.
Ok, I'm going to try and make this sound intelligible.
1. I have 1 user on this computer with admin rights. Windows 7 Enterprise Edition.
2. Watch movies and tv shows from saved libraries streamed to my 360 via Media Center. Was watching movies less than 1 hour prior to whatever happened.
3. Planning on getting a hard drive this week and in preparation copied roughly 75 gigs worth of movies to thumbdrives.
4. After cutting and pasting and filling my thumbdrives opened media player on 360. Opened fine, selected movie library, then was DC'd "Your xbox has been disconnected from windows media center unexpectedly"
5 Tried opening windows media center on computer. Opens fine then crashes at exactly same spot after selecting movies or videos.
6 Reset the media center databases. Same crashes occur.
7 Spent next several days in frustration leading to almost reinstalling my windows 7 EXCEPT I decided to take one more look at it. I have probably 16+ hours of reinstalling software and recovering files if I do that. And right now I just can't afford to do it.
Which leads me to where I'm at right now. Somehow I seem to have been added onto a HOMEGROUP in networks, then doing a little more searching found my videos that had seemed to not be around, then found that the permissions were completely screwy on that folder and other folders inside my c:\users\accountname\ leading to a total missing shared video folder inside my videos folder.
OK. I've managed to get to a point where I have saved my videos, saved my work files, saved my photos. Without reinstalling windows how can I remake those folders? I attempted the whole right click on libraries and recreate default folders but there are no shared folders inside. Is there more to it than that?
Will check back often to see if we can get this hammered out somehow. Thanks in advance for reading the Great Wall O' Text and giving thought to my problem

Sjuøyane (English: Seven Islands) is the northernmost part of the Svalbard archipelago north of Norway, and some 20 km north of Nordaustlandet.
As the name implies, this is a group of seven islands (as well as several islets and skerries), of which the three larger ones are:
And the four smaller:
Rossøya, more a skerry than an island, is at 80°49'44" the northernmost land of Svalbard and thus of Norway. Ice conditions are often difficult, but they are often earlier accessible than other parts of Svalbard further southeast because of the influence of the last drops of the Gulf Stream. Sjuøyane belong to the Nordaust-Svalbard Nature Reserve.
Sjuøyane were first marked on a map by the Dutchman Hendrick Doncker (1663). Pieter Goos (1666) and other cartographers soon followed. Cornelis Giles and Outger Rep (c. 1710) were the first to put the islands in their correct position. The islands may have been sighted as early as 1618, as an Enkhuizen whaler is said to have seen the islands this year. As map-makers often lagged years behind the actual discoveries of the archipelago, this claim may very well be true, although evidence is lacking.

We all want the girls in our lives to go after their dreams, but the media, our celebrity culture and social media can send mixed messages that affect their confidence. As a partner of the Together Counts™ program for healthy, active living, we want to share our tips to encourage your daughter, granddaughter, niece, younger sister or any girl you know to have the confidence to work toward her goals.
- Be a listening ear. Ask what she would like to accomplish one day. Give her your undivided attention.
- Stay open-minded. Let her brainstorm and share her ideas, even if they seem unusual or out of reach to you.
- Help her set attainable goals. While you never want to crush your girl's dreams, if a goal seems a bit too unrealistic right now, encourage her to set a related, short-term goal that's attainable in the next year.
- Take action. Offer to go for a run together after school, drive her to music lessons or review her latest essay. Knowing you support her dreams can give her the confidence to keep pursuing them.
- Encourage her to visualize her goals. Whether she prefers to journal her ideas in a notebook or create a vision board with magazine cutouts, a visual representation of her dreams can motivate her to reach them.
- Reinforce the importance of positive life skills, such as hard work, persistence, a positive attitude and responsibility.
- Be realistic about challenges. Remind her that many dreams will not come easily and hard work will foster a sense of accomplishment that increases her self-worth, even when she doesn't meet a particular goal.
- Celebrate her efforts, not just her achievements. By focusing on how hard she worked rather than just her results, you will help her build confidence in her skills and her work ethic.
- Compliment her talents. Praise her excellent spelling, good listening skills, killer jump shot or willingness to help those in need.
- Help her research her dream. Spend time with her at the library or online researching how a person lands a particular job, or take her to meet with someone who has already met her particular goal.
- Encourage her to set short-term goals to meet a long-term dream. Whether that means learning to cook a meal for her family if she wants to become a chef or studying to earn excellent grades if she wants to attend a certain college, encourage her to take action today to meet her long-term goals.
- Ask about the "why" behind her dreams. Having a purpose behind her goals can help her stay motivated on the path to her dreams.
How do you help the girl in your life stay positive and motivated to follow her dreams?

Unanswered: sort automatically after new insert
Hi to all,
Is it possible in MySQL or perhaps in any existing RDBS that can automaticall sort a table in ascending order after you have just inserted a new record?
I want to know if there are features such as this which is found not only in MySQL but also to other existing RDBMS.
Thanks and god bless all.

no, tables don't work like that
it's like people entering a room for a cocktail party -- they don't automatically line themselves up in ascending order, they go where they want to go
if you want the people to arrange themselves in ascending order, the first thing you have to do is tell them ascending order by what -- IQ, age, height in millimetres, whatever
in relational tables, the rows in a table have no order

Okinawa, Japan is comprised of several hundred islands and is the southernmost prefecture in the country. The capital of Okinawa is Naha, which is located in the southern part of Okinawa Island, the largest of the islands. When visiting Okinawa Island, you will most likely arrive at Naha Airport. Upon arrival there are several things you must see and do to really experience the culture of this beautiful serene place. A 1.5 hour drive north from Naha to Motobu Town away from the hustle and bustle of the capital city would be well worth your time.
A must do on your journey to Motobu Town is to try the local cuisine.
Okinawan soki soba noodles are a special dish unique to this part of Japan. The noodles can be found at many local restaurants and are served hot in a soki soup broth (pork spare ribs) topped with pork meat and seaweed and they are simply delectable. Okinawa is also home for Orion beer which is the 5th largest brewery in Japan. An Orion beer would go along fantastic with the soki soba noodles. And for dessert do not pass up the opportunity to try the locally made ice cream produced by Blue Seal which has been a staple since 1948. This ice cream can be found at restaurants and convenience stores and is popular on the to do list of most tourists.
If sunbathing and frolicking in the ocean is your idea of fun, a day of relaxing at Emerald Beach near Motobu Town will be an amazing treat.
The water at this beach is clear and a brilliant cobalt blue color. This coral sand beach is a public beach and there are areas for relaxing and playing. The swimming area is protected by jellyfish nets and there are life guards on duty during peak season which is April through October.
After your visit to Emerald Beach you might select to stay at the Mahaina Wellness Resort.
This 4.5 start hotel is a short drive from the beach and is conveniently located to Ocean Expo Park, Churaumi Aquarium and the Fukugi Tree Path. This hotel has many great amenities. There is a wonderful buffet style restaurant called Marsen which serves very traditional dishes to exotic dishes made from local ingredients. The fresh locally grown pineapple is mouthwateringly delicious. The hotel's outdoor pool is open during summer months and the indoor pool is open year round. The highlight at the hotel is hands down the Japanese hot bath house "hot springs" which contain mineral rich waters to cleanse and relax your body and soul.
Feeling refreshed after a night spent at the Mahaina Wellness Resort, a boat ride to Minna Island should be next on your itinerary.
The island is about 15 minutes away from the port in Motobu Town via high speed boat. The fare is reasonable (Adult round trip 1680 yen/Child 840) and well worth your money. Snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, sunbathing are just a few of many activities you can do once you arrive at the island. The water is pristine, the sea life is beautiful and the white sandy beaches are pure and clean. You can bring snacks and drinks or you can check out the local mom and pop food stands for good food reasonably priced. The island is small but you can take a walk to the opposite side from the main beach and explore. It truly will give you a sense of getting away from it all. You can plan to stay for a couple of hours or all day. The boats run back and forth from the port to the island from 08:30 - 17:00.
Another must do in this area is to take a bicycle ride on Fukugi Tree Road.
This road is really a hidden treasure. It is a dirt path covered by overgrown Fukugi trees that form a canopy and are known by the locals as "fortune trees". You can rent a bicycle for 200 yen and explore this peaceful area which is just a short distance from Emerald Beach. The houses in this area are more traditional Japanese style and there are quaint little shops scattered about. On your bicycle ride through the tree canopy you will feel as if you have been transported back in time. Back to a more peaceful relaxed state of mind.
These are just a few of the highlights you can experience on your vacation to Okinawa, Japan. With its subtropical temperatures you can spend weeks exploring this island and surrounding smaller islands year round. The people are hospitable. The scenery is breathtaking. And you will return home from your visit with a sense of peace and appreciation for having experienced such an awe inspiring place.

The Citroen C6 has raised the bar on pedestrian safety, becoming the first car to achieve a four-star rating in the latest crash test results.
The Australian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) said the next best car was the Fiat Punto, with three stars, while most other models tested managed only one or two stars.
The locally-made Mitsubishi 380 scored just one star.
Pedestrian safety is measured by the risk of serious injury to someone struck by a car at 40kph.
The less chance of serious injury, the more stars the car is awarded.
The Citroen C6 has an advanced pedestrian protection system that lifts the bonnet slightly when it detects a pedestrian impact.
"This provides improved protection to reduce serious head injury when pedestrians are struck," ANCAP spokesman Mark Borlace said.
Some of the pedestrian tests were actually conducted in Europe, but use the same methods as those of ANCAP.
In other tests conducted in both Australia and Europe and designed to measure passenger safety, the Toyota Yaris scored four stars when fitted with a dual front airbags, but managed five stars when also fitted with curtain airbags.
The Nissan Tiida also scored four stars in this section, along with the Ford Territory and the Mitsubishi 380.
The result prompted Mr Borlace to renew calls for all car makers to fit side or curtain airbags as standard equipment to protect against side impacts.

If you are a business that is looking to grow and you are considering increasing your online presence using a company that offers you everything, make sure you know what 'everything' really can be. Do not let yourself sign up with a company only to find out there is another one out there that offers more services you did not even know were options. Below are a few tips and ideas of what a good online boosting company will look like and how you can find the very best.
1)Make sure they offer search engine optimizing.
You want your web presence to look good, but you also want to make sure it is being seen by as many eyes as possible. A company that knows how to get you ranked highly and seen first on search engines will really get your business seen and start to grow that client or customer database you are looking for.
2)Pay Per Click Management
There are companies out there that only do pay per click work. They will charge you for just this one service. This will leave you searching for another company to do the rest of the web work and most times if you ask a company that offers more services if they can help you with pay per click they have the know how to do it and can easily help you out! All you have to do is find a multi-service company and ask!
3)Social Media Management Services
Did you know that you do not have to worry about the upkeep of your social media business pages? Companies that cover it all have amazingly skilled people that will keep your Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Instagram, or other online platforms up to date and looking great! You have enough to worry about just running a business why should you have to worry about the up keep of online stuff too when there are people to do that for you!
4)A company who knows how to get you on the list.
The yellow pages are something of the past. Well, the actual paper yellow pages. Now they are online, and there are more than just the yellow pages. A smart company knows how to get you on those list. Even at the top of those list. So that when people open up the list of business like yours in their area you are eye catching and draw in their business. Get someone who can get you on the list.
5)Website Creators are highly sought after.
You might have started a website for your business, but if you are looking to step up your game on the world wide web hiring someone to create your website is a very smart thing to do. They can take your current web address and transform it into something truly amazing. Depending on the services you choose from this company they could even continue to keep it current and catching so that it produces the highest level of business for you at all times.
6)Design Services are a must have.
A lot of companies out there want to take what you already have and just boost its appearance on line getting it seen by more people. A solid company like Dominate with SEO has an actual design team that will take what you have and transform it into what you want to have. With a listening ear and a designing heart they can take the things you express about your business and give it the online face lift you want. Hiring a company that does all the things previously listed AND that has a design team is really what you are looking for to bring your 'A' game to the internet.
7)Last but not least is digital marketing consulting.
You do not want to pay someone to just make you look good online. You need that hard earned money of yours to work even harder for you. With companies like Dominate with SEO not only will you be getting all these great things but you will have a sounding board for your digital marketing questions. If you even need help deciding if a certain thing is a good choice for your business presence online just ask, that' is what you are paying for!
When choosing a company to help up your game online make sure you consider all these things. Ask questions and make sure you are happy with the services you are getting, and that you are getting all the services you want and deserve to get. You do not want to be left wishing you would have gone a different direction with your online business content when you could of had it all. Find a solid company like Dominate with SEO. Better yet, contact Dominate with SEO and get your online presence to its highest potential!

Ways to connect sets of data
Hello there. I design/develop the occasional web application, and I frequently find myself needing to store data that connects two things together. At the moment, I just store one piece of data from each in it's own table, and use that. For example, a "friend" system where users select their friends (where they could have any number of friends). The system I currently use would simply store the ID of the user, and the ID of one friend, but this seems hardly optimal to me, especially since in a real life situation with more than 100 users, something like this would expand extremely quickly. Is this really the best way, or can anyone suggest an alternate method of setting things up?

Ragnaros: Too soon!
Or was it? No, not really. Not if you ask us.
We've NEVER put as much effort into a kill as we now did on downing Heroic Ragnaros. We had a few grueling low percentage wipes and we were already planning on continuing early tomorrow with a better set of gear. Our kill attempt was going to be our last pull of the night as the thunderstorms and disconnects were kicking in.
Then everything clicked. All of our combined effort, practicing, theorycrafting and planning finally paid off. We had a near-perfect try and Ragnaros just melted away. A wave of relief washed over us. It was finally over. We wiped 500+ times on the boss, although I lost count at some point. Absolutely epic feeling after such an epic fight!

A brief look at the latest VW diesel scandal news, including new investigations in Canada and Germany and running the numbers on how bad the pollution is.
When public charging fails you and your EV
Think that owning and driving a plug-in vehicle in green-centric San Francisco is easy? You should probably think again. That's because a lot of other residents already have the same idea, and there aren't enough charging stations to keep up. A classic First World problem, for sure, but a problem nevertheless for at least one EV driver.
Meet Germany's ultra-aerodynamic car from 1939 [w/video]
By most historical accounts, the period between the first and second world wars was not a great time. Economic collapse, an entire continent in shambles, prohibition and the rise of the Nazis are the prime lowlights of the 1920s and 1930s. But, there was one small ray of excitement in this otherwise depressing time – the automobile industry was in a renaissance.
Tesla Model S quality check takes five hours, reuses 1,500 gallons of water
A year ago, Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk told us he was, "literally, personally looking at every [Model S] at this point. I won't be able to do that long-term." That time has come, but for anyone worried that the change means quality may slip, don't. Why? Because WIRED shows us in the short video below how Tesla quality checks the Model S now that Musk has other things to worry about. WIRED calls the process a "rigorous quality test," and it's one of the last steps in getting Model S EVs out to cu
Why do Russian drivers have so many dash cams? [w/video]
These days, it seems like the internet runs on the fuel of Russian dash cam videos. From clips showing meteors falling from the sky to plane crashes and close calls, it almost seems as if every driver on Russian roads is filming at all times. As it turns out, that's nearly true. According to Wired, several factors have culminated in the current explosion of dashcam videos. Those include everything from shady traffic cops to insurance scammers to the design of the legal system itself. Combine tho
Speed bumps used to diagnose appendicitis?
This... doesn't seem right, but just bear with this report from Wired. It seems as though driving over speed bumps can reveal those who are enduring acute appendicitis. This was a rumored thing among medical circles based purely on anecdotal data, but now there is an empirical study by the University of Oxford and Stoke Mandeville Hospital in the UK to back it up.
Watch Wired go hands-on with Tesla Model S 4.0
Our friends at Wired recently got their hands on the latest software release for the Tesla Model S. The 4.0 release adds a few interesting bits of functionality to the EV, including voice control for the navigation and telephone systems as well as Slacker Radio. Tesla employed Google voice-recognition software for the Model S, and Wired says the system is "far easier and more intuitive than most." High praise.
Tesla's Model S software updates connect well with Wired
Earlier this month, Tesla Motors announced a software update for its Model S all-electric luxury sedan. No less an authority than our old friend Damon Lavrinc over at Wired has blessed the upgrade. Lavrinc calls Tesla's upgrades a "solid, feature-rich update" that overcomes what had been "egregious oversights" for an automaker steeped in technological advancements.

It's Friday: a peek at the truck stop of the future
What's the price of gas going to be in 2021? Specifically, what will the gamut of transportation fuels cost on March 16, 2021? WIRED recently published one of its artifacts from the future: a truck stop 12 years from now. As you can see in the imaginary scene, a full tank of hydrogen will cost a hundred bucks. Plugging in your EV will cost you $75 a kWh (but the first five minutes are courtesy of GM). Also on tap: methane from Oscar Meyer and Uncle Willie's Kind Green biodiesel. In fact, this re
WIRED NextFest: Imagine PS Roadster
There aren't too many transportation-related green displays at the WIRED NextFest going on in Chicago this month, but it's hard to miss the ones that are present. While the back of the tent is taken over by Toyota's plug-in Prius and 1/x, right in the middle of the floor is the ridiculously stretched out Imagine PS Roadster from HumanCar. We've heard about this vehicle since 2006, and it's still in pretty basic form. The bright orange chassis and the rowing-powered powerplant (which will be comb
Anatomy of a race driver proves hardcore required
Yes, racing is a sport, even NASCAR. Talented people always make difficult things look easy, but wrestling a vehicle traveling well in excess of one-hundred miles an hour would beat down most mortals in short order. Wired has put up an informative rollover-fest that gives credence to the idea that while us auto writers might be the walking embodiment of a Boston Creme donut, professional racers don't share our gooey center.

Drewhouse The Pods
House, Agnes Water
Rated 5 out of 5 stars 32 reviews
Confirmation within 24hr
From $235 per night {{quote.pricing.message}} Total {{quote.pricing.price | format:'currency':'short'}} for
Min 3 nights stay
Drewhouse The Pods is a uniquely designed beach house providing luxury while still being close to nature. Set on an acre of pristine native forest in the Sunrise at 1770 estate near Agnes Water, the Pods were designed by Simon Laws of Anthill Constructions .
The house was recently featured on Dreambuild ABC1 as Beach Shack and also appeared in the September 2012 issue of Vogue Living and more recently on channel 10's The Living Room. To see the Dreambuild episode, google 'youtube pods 1770'
The Sunrise resort has two horizon pools overlooking the ocean, 4 tennis courts, poolside barbecue kitchens and playground just for residents and guests. It is an ecologically sensitive, award winning, gated community, Sunrise's rules on domestic animals means that we cannot accept pets no matter how small. On the other hand, if you like native animals, then you'll be pleasantly surprised by their number and diversity.
Mature Bloodwoods and Cabbage Palms create a natural garden near the ocean and the famous Springs beach, near Agnes Water, the most northerly surf break on the east Australian coast. You can relax around one of the three pools overlooking the ocean, surf or fish or walk the 4 kilometers of beautiful beaches,
Living, sleeping pods and luxury bath house are separated for privacy and quiet but connected by a wooden covered walkway. The wonderful bush land setting and mild sub-tropical climate is full of birds and wildlife, including black cockatoos and grey kangaroos. Rainwater tanks, solar hot water and electricity make this passive energy efficient design a low environmental impact.
The house provides the perfect base from which to walk to the many secluded beaches to which Sunrise has private access. Drive on the private internal roads to one of the beach clubs where you'll find beautiful suspended 25M pools, free tennis and volleyball courts, modern amenities and luxury BBQ huts with solid dining settings and magnificent ocean views.
Life at The Pods centres around the main living pod with its expansive covered wooden deck and circular marble dining table. Move seamlessly through wide doorways from the modern kitchen with 5 burner gas stove, fridge with ice maker, espresso machine, water cooler and quiet dishwasher to outside dining on the shady deck. At the other end of the living pod is the entertainment area. Relax on the generous built in sofas, watch TV or streamed movies, listen to music or play board games. The sofas are also perfect for an afternoon nap or as a bed for an extra guest or two.
The beautiful bathroom pod features walls and floor of Italian travertine with a wall that opens so you can lie in the bath and look at the trees. The deep bath and art glass door that opens in or out allows you to shower inside or 'outdoors'.
The two bedroom pods hold three single beds each with the easy conversion into king sized beds from two singles. Linen is provided for both single and king sized beds. The floors are of polished native timber and the insect screened windows slide to open an entire wall width to the forest outside. Linen, towels, doonas and bed throws are provided.

I've been through phrases with YouTube for about 4 years now. Currently, I'm back to being addicted. I check it every morning, through-out the day and just before I go to bed. I have my favourites of course.
I used to have a YouTube channel but I deleted it and my videos about a year and a half ago due to personal reasons. I've never thought about turning back into a YouTube obsessed. I've been getting asks on Tumblr for about a year asking for me to do videos again. I'm slowly giving in. So here is where I shall begin. Blogging about my life and slowly turning into a Vlogger when I get my new camera for Christmas.
It will be my own personal space on the internet, where I can't be judged. I don't know if anyone will be interested in my life but it's worth a shot.

Unanswered: Re: using translate for date in the control file !!
I am having data file where in i expect date but get non-numeric character.
I am generating control file dynamically (programatically).
While creating control file i know that here the type of data will be date so i put datatype as date. But at one place i got non numeric character instead of date.
Now i want to put somekind of logic built in my dynamic generation which will check whether if value within that column is character then make it null and then load data. And if it is numeric keep it as it it.
make value null before loading.
keep the value as it and then load it.
I heard that with translate function we can do that. Right ?
So if i have a line like this in my control file:
column_Name date "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MIS AM"
How should i write the above statement to put the above mentioned logic.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

I got it my problem solved.
Actually i was thinking that i will have to check the presence of character and then do translation but i am able to do the translation writing generic translation like this.
"ColName Date "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MMS AM" Translate('ColName','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxywABC DEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','')"
So whenever there are some characters instead of date they are replaced by null.
Thanks !!
