How can I describe such a decision? :( what about the following ways)

They made a combined decision...

Your summer holidays can be a really exciting time - you might have a holiday booked which you have been looking forward to, or you might be excited about spending more time with your family and friends.
The summer holidays can also be a great time for trying out new things or starting projects or activities that you didn't have as much time to do while you were at school. With the warmer weather and having a holiday from school, you might feel like you don't want your summer holidays to end!
The holidays can be a difficult time for some young people - you might feel lonely and miss the routine of being in school, or you might feel like your friends are going on holiday to different places, and you are staying at home. You might also be feeling sad or unsure about moving up into secondary school or college. However you feel, talking about it can really help. You can speak to ChildLine about anything that is worrying you or on your mind - we are always here to listen.
It is normal to feel lonely sometimes over the summer holidays, or to feel sad or down. Sometimes it can be difficult when you suddenly have a different routine, and it can take some time to get used to it. You might miss seeing your friends every day at school or you might miss some of your after-school activities, which can sometimes close during the holidays.
If you are feeling lonely or would like someone to talk to, you can contact ChildLine anytime. You could also try speaking to a friend that you trust, as there is a good chance that they might be feeling similarly.
You can read more about feeling lonely in our Explore section, or you could read what other young people are saying on the loneliness message board. The most important thing if you are feeling alone or down is not to keep it all to yourself.
It can also be difficult if you don't get along very well with your family and because you are home more during the holidays, you might find you argue more.
It's normal for families not to get along with each other sometimes. Every family has problems from time to time, even if they are usually happy and don't often argue. If you are worried about your family arguing you could talk to your parents or carers about how you feel. They might not realise that you are worried about it.
The summer can be a time where you might start new relationships or get a boyfriend or girlfriend for the first time. This can be really exciting, but can be scary too.
It's normal to have worries about it and what will happen in the future.
Taking a chance is part of life and it's also part of relationships, but it's important to stay safe and happy.
You can read more about being in a new relationship, about sexual health, and how to talk about sex in our Explore section.
You can also post a message in the sex and relationships message board.
Have you got something to say, or want to ask a question? Visit the message board to have your say.

Research Area: Bioorganic chemistry
My teaching and research efforts continue to have organic chemistry and NMR spectroscopy as major components. I teach organic chemistry (CHM 212), Advanced Techniques in Organic Chemistry (CHM 312) and NMR spectroscopy (CHM 512)
My research focuses primarily on structure elucidation of natural and synthetic products using 1D and 2D NMR experiments. I have worked with many undergraduate and graduate students over the past several years who have synthesized a wide variety of quinoline containing compounds which show unusual NMR properties, the results of which have been presented at recent National ACS meetings. An extension of my research focus on NMR is collaborative research with the MACRL group on characterizing dissolved organic carbon in rainwater by NMR. I am also still involved synthesis and isolation of bioactive lipids from marine plants and fish, and more recently from bacteria. Graduate student research includes synthesis of fluorescent sphingolipids for eventual incorporation into lipid bilayers, in collaboration with Dr. Paulo Almeida. Isolation and characterization of individual bacterial phospholipids will eventually allow us to investigate, in collaboration with Dr. Antje Almeida, how these lipids affect the character of a lipid bilayer.

An Albemarle County supervisor candidate says the community needs to come together and find common ground in order to be successful.
Monday, independent Diantha McKeel announced the formation of a "Common Ground Council" to address county issues on the steps of the Albemarle County Office Building Monday morning.
The Albemarle County School Board member says the community's greatest challenge is polarization within local government. Monday, she spoke about how she thinks the issue can be tackled.
She says the eight-member committee is a group of nonpartisan community experts dedicated to making Albemarle the best place in America to live. The council consists of people associated with Charlottesville and the University of Virginia.
McKeel says it is important for groups to come together and address issues like education and infrastructure.
"The main challenge is that we need to come together to find common ground. We are polarized very often. The city and the county tend to be polarized. We're polarized between the environmentalists and the development community. And what I'm seeking is to sort of till that common ground and see if we can't come together and figure out what our core objectives are and then work together to compromise," said McKeel.
McKeel says one area where the city and county could work together better is affordable housing.
McKeel is running for the Jack Jouett District seat. Albemarle County Supervisor Dennis Rooker has held the position for three terms. He announced his retirement in April.

Diantha McKeel
(ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VA)---Diantha McKeel, who has represented residents in Albemarle County's Jack Jouett Magisterial District for 16 years, said today she wants to expand her public service to include economic and job development for the same residents as their representative on the Board of Supervisors.
She noted that the key to Albemarle County's future quality of life will be Supervisors who can bring together an alliance of the business and environmental communities with educators and community service representatives and that she was uniquely qualified for that role.
Ms. McKeel described that alliance as a Common Ground Council and said she already has commitments from eight leaders in the county who are willing to serve on the council.
"Many people have come to think that elected officials care about someone else but not them," Ms. McKeel explained. "I think we can begin to restore that faith through a Common Ground Council and an approach that honors four values—
On specific issues, Ms. McKeel pointed to the strong academic gains made by students in the county's public school system as a solid foundation upon which to provide more opportunities for all county residents over the next four years.
"An outstanding public school system that aligns curriculum with those 21st century skills our businesses need is the first strong link in that chain of events," Ms. McKeel said. "We need to add a more vibrant and technologically advanced vocational educational program that is connected to the needs of local entrepreneurs and businesses," she added.
Also vitally important, Ms. McKeel said, is maintaining a unique natural resource that makes the county such an appealing place to live and visit—a diversity of life experiences. These include beautiful vistas, successful agricultural businesses and open, green space preserved by policies that limit growth to those areas designated for that purpose.
Ms. McKeel said one of her priorities on the Board of Supervisors will be to encourage more teamwork and synergy among Charlottesville City, the University of Virginia and Albemarle County. "Each of us can bring a diverse range of resources, energy and enthusiasm to the common hopes and aspirations of our constituents. Continuing to work in silos is not the right answer," she added
Ms. McKeel has four times been elected by voters in the Jack Jouett Magisterial District and she urged all residents to become involved in the upcoming campaign through an appreciation of the views and qualifications of the candidates, by letting candidates know of their views and by voting in November.

Story Behind the Shot: Winter Landscape [1]
Submitted by Erika Harvey on
In celebration of the High Line Calendar [2], we're exploring each month's featured image to bring you more of the behind-the-scenes details.
This month's image comes from photographer Barry Munger. Barry has been lending his talents to Friends of the High Line since long before our 2009 opening. With his over-sized film camera set-up, immeasurable patience, and a keen eye, Barry has coaxed some of the most poetic photos out of what can sometimes be an unwieldy landscape. You may remember another iconic shot by Barry that we featured as our September calendar image [3].
The centerpiece of this month's image is a bright Red Sprite winterberry bush, Ilex verticillata 'Red Sprite.' The native plant's beautiful red berries start to appear as the weather cools in the fall, and the plant takes on a whole new personality in the wintertime. Full branches of bright red berries punctuate an otherwise brown landscape, and become an even lovelier contrast to fresh snowfall, as captured in Barry's photo taken at West 20th Street.
Red Sprite winterberry bushes are also a great place to spot overwintering birds. The crimson berries are not only a delight to look at – they're also delicious (for birds!). These and other berries and dried seed heads offer a veritable buffet for birds, making the High Line a great place for city birds during the colder months of the year.
Stop by in the coming weeks and months to observe the park's winter landscape, including bursts of color from plants like Red Sprite winterberry.
Purchase our 18-month High Line Calendar [4] for this and many more beautiful photos of the High Line through four seasons. Or, for a limited time, members who join or renew at the Rail level will receive our beautiful new calendar as a special thank-you gift. Join or renew today. [5]

National Library of France
International bodies
The BnF's involvement in international professional organizations and associations leads to take part in the seminars and events in this category.
The CNDL is an international association of national library directors. It was created in 1974.
The BnF takes part in the CDNL's annual meeting and in working groups set up to deal with the key issues of national libraries.
The CENL was founded in 1987. Its aim is to develop and reinforce the role of national libraries in Europe, particularly in the fulfillment of their core duties, which are conserving the national cultural patrimony and providing access to knowledge for all. Its members are the national libraries of the member states of the Council of Europe.
The BnF actively participates in the CENL as a member. Since 2004, the library is involved with others national libraries, members of the CENL, in the construction of the European Library, gateway to digital resources of European national libraries.
The BnF also sits on the Common Committee between the CENL and the Association of European Publishers working on the deposit of electronic documents.
Founded in 1927, the IFLA is made up of library associations, librarians and information services and of library and information organizations from the public, private and voluntary sectors.
Its objectives:
To achieve these objectives, IFLA has set up:
The federation's activities are the result of the contributions from all these professional units.
BnF's participation in IFLA federation
As a member of IFLA, the Bibliohtèque nationale de France has representatives in the following professional units:
Within this framework, the BnF's staff conducts numerous projects, contributing to the definition of new concepts, the establishment of new recommendations or practices and the publication of reference works and work tools. Aside from the activities carried out within these groups, the BnF takes part in the discussions and debates during the annual congress organized by the Federation and presents many papers at this event.
Since 1992, the BnF has hosted the international center for the IFLA Preservation and Conservation program (PAC/IFLA).
Director: Christiane Baryla
PAC's major activities consist in raising awareness, inform and propose training about the preservation of cultural heritage to library professionals and more broadly to all persons in charge of cultural properties. To that end, it publishes "International Preservation News" and information documents in the field of preservation and conservation. It also organises seminars, symposiums and training workshops.
LIBER is a non-governmental organization, created in 1971 under the auspices of the Council of Europe, whose aim is to represent and promote the interests of European research libraries.
The BnF actively participates in LIBER's work. It has a representative in one of the organization's four professional divisions (library management and administration) and its Map and Plan department is part of LIBER's Map Curators' Group, a committee of experts attached to the Collection Development Division.
The Library is member of the network set up by LIBER to insure security of European cultural heritage .

Cerro de Loreto PUEBLA, MEXICO
The World > North America > Mexico
This is the view of the castle remodeled.
The holiday of Cinco De Mayo, The 5th Of May, commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla and throughout the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico, and especially in U.S. cities with a significant Mexican population. It is not, as many people think, Mexico's Independence Day, which is actually September 16.
Puebla view from the Cerro de Loreto. It's a new viewer remodeled.
North America includes Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Gotham City.
The region temporarily existed as a Protectorate of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, with its capital being the city of San Francisco. Sadly, this term of benevolent ebullience lasted a brief two decades and ended c. 1880.
The United States is now the dominant country of North America. It arose as a nation only 225 years ago after a successful rebellion against the British government under King George III.
From a distance, it appears that the eastern coastlines of North and South America fit exactly into the west coast of Africa. In fact, about 250 million years ago these continents really were all connected in one land mass that we have named Pangaea.
With such a foundation in tectonic unity, there is no doubt that someday soon the people on every continent of earth will realize their fundamental similarities. Expect massive leaps in creative output in your area!

MADISON (WKOW) -- Water levels are finally going down on lakes and rivers in many parts of Wisconsin.
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) experts say levels are beginning to drop in central and southern Wisconsin, despite rain last week.
The DNR says the Flambeau River is still high, but the St. Croix, Wolf, Baraboo, Rock, Wisconsin and Mississippi rivers have all been going down. Sandbars along the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway are returning.

Overall, we loved the balcony cabin and were quite comfortable there for the week.
This ship is lovely and seems kept in pristine shape. The staff are lovely and helpful and the entertainment was very high quality. We loved the flexible style.
Our biggest disappointment on the Jade was with the food. Wow. We are food lovers, though not food snobs by any measure. The two main dining rooms were gorgeous and we loved being able to sit at our own table for two by the window almost every time (we are early-ish diners, around 6:30pm). The food was well presented but OH MY what a shame that it just didn't seem to be freshly prepared. Our food came extremely quickly and tasted like it had been pulled from a row of waiting plates. Even salads didn't seem to be freshly tossed before coming to the table - the lettuce was wilted and soaked in dressing like it had been sitting there for a while waiting to be ordered. We ordered steaks
The buffet offered a large selection of food and much of it was very, very good flavour and quality for a buffet. But the big drawback of the buffet is that it is not well set up - it is noisy and over-crowded and you have to walk around with your plate searching for an emptying table so you can sit and eat. Again, this is such a shame, as it makes it really more like a noisy school cafeteria than a comfortable place where you can enjoy a meal.
I REALLY hope Norwegian can fix up this food situation for its guests! It really is a shame, given that overall, the rest of the cruise was most enjoyable.
But sadly, for this reason, likely next time we will try another option. But this is mainly because we are such food lovers and really like to enjoy our meals.
I really should stress that other elements of the cruise were great - embarkation and disembarkation were perfectly smooth and flawless, for example.
p.s. - The ports were wonderful - Venice, Corfu, Santorini, Myknos and Izmir. We did each port on our own and really enjoyed the sights and views of each to the fullest! It was nice to avoid the crowds getting off and on at each port, and go

The fight over Oakland County redistricting continued Wednesday, as an Ingham Circuit Court judge ruled that a state law which would have allowed Republicans to redraw district lines and reduce the number of county commissioners is unconstitutional.
Judge William Collette ruled the law unconstitutional because it would impose an unfunded mandate for taxpayers who would have to bear the cost of redoing the redistricting, The Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday. It also wouldn't provide enough time for review of a new map before candidates had to file by May 15 to run for office.
The bill, which was signed by Gov. Rick Snyder in December amid controversy, would reduce the number of Oakland County commissioners from 25 to 21. It also allows the elected commissioners — mostly Republicans — to draw the new county commission districts. The bill quickly passed through the state legislature after the Court of Appeals upheld a previous ruling in favor of the five-member Apportionment Commission's 3-2 vote to redraw the maps, a vote which went right down party lines.
County Executive L. Brooks Patterson said in a statement that he expected Collette's ruling, and that he also expects an appeal to the state Supreme Court.
"Today's ruling by the liberal Ingham County Circuit Court is a Pyrrhic victory for the Democrats. Ingham County Circuit Court has a long record of ruling in favor of Democrats, only to be overturned by higher courts," he said.

Data retention and archiving, and e-discovery practices are essential to a strong data governance strategy, particularly when accessing data and records that were stored or archived years ago. It's crucial that an archiving strategy start with the complete business object, or the daily transactions that contain necessary information, to ensure long-term, accurate access to historical data.
As such, business objects are the fundamental building blocks of your application data records. Organizations that archive only the object tables to manage data growth may reduce storage costs, but in the long term, such a strategy jeopardizes the goals of an effective data governance strategy.

Fall 2013 - Comparative genomcis
Fall 2012 - Microbioal genomics and metagenomics
Advanced Genetics Moodle Site - Click on Moodle Guest Access - Password Biol583
This course covers current techniques in genetics and genomics, their use in answering fundamental questions in biology and the social, ethical and legal issues surrounding genetic technology. Theoretical background and experimental approaches will be emphasized. Topics will include, but are not limited to DNA sequencing technology, genome structure and evolution, genome wide expression analysis, bioinformatics, human microbiomes, personal genomics, and the genetics of disease. Students will have the opportunity to determine SNPs in their own genome through 23andMe.
Bioinformatics and Genomics Drupal Site
The course emphasizes the strong interdependence of Genomics and Bioinformatics. Genomics produces large scale data sets that require bioinformatic methods for data storage, manipulation and analysis. Neither could produce meaningful results without the other, yet they are traditionally placed in separate disciplines. By teaching both approaches together, this course will give students the ability to formulate genome-related hypotheses and provide the practical skills for solving the closely interlinked experimental-analytical problems that genomics approaches involve.
Introduction to Microbiology Moodle Site - Click on Guest Access - Password Guest310
Microbes are everywhere: around us, on us and inside us. In fact, it is very difficult to find an environment on Earth that does not support some form of microbial life. Through this course, we will aim to understand how microbes became so immensely successful at colonizing every possible habitat on the planet.

Trust—it's the key ingredient that keeps clients returning to you and referring you. There's no exact formula for gaining it. Sometimes it happens quickly, and sometimes it takes a while to get through a buyer's protective shell.
When you've gained it, it's like a whole new world opens up:
* Buyers feel comfortable talking with you, sharing details about their challenges, and working with you on solutions
* You better understand buyers' needs and develop better solutions for them
* You become better attuned to the prospect's buying signals
* Buyers return to you even when offered less-expensive options
No matter if the buyer is fast or slow to trust you, you can increase your trustworthiness by doing certain things in your marketing, your sales conversations, and in delivering your service. It all starts with understanding your buyer, says Ivan Misner in his article Are You Correctly Reading Prospects' Buying Signals? The goal is to try and see things from the buyer's perspective and improve communication with them.
You hear all of the time about the benefits of creating content. Such content helps establish you as an industry expert, it helps attract prospects to you, and it helps with lead nurturing.
You start to shrink under the pressure of having to produce content on top of everything else you need to do. You think, "How am I supposed to write blog posts or publish a research report when I don't have time to even get through all of the email in my inbox?"
Here's some good news: You don't have to create content to convert prospects into buyers. Content curation is as effective as content creation when it comes to developing relationships with prospects, helping buyers through the sales process, and developing loyal clients, according to business development expert Matt Heinz.
"Quite honestly prospects will differentiate very narrowly between content you create and content you may curate from elsewhere," he says. "So, you get almost as much credit if you happen to find a link somewhere else and put that in front of your prospects."
At any time, buyers can go online and look for information about you, your company, and your services. When they get there, what will they find?
Will they find useful content created or curated by you that helps them with the challenge they're facing? Will they find self-serving promotional pieces that cause them to instantly click away? Will they find blog posts and articles about you but written by someone else who misconstrued information about you? Or will they find nothing at all because your links are buried on the fifth page of search results, and no one goes past page 2 when doing searches?
Online information plays a key role in prospect's buying decisions. And you need to control the flow of it. For when you can control the flow, you can better control the sales process, writes Colleen Francis in her article How to Regain Control of the Sales Process.
"The whole point of regaining control of the information flow is to attract buyers," she says. "Follow your ideal clientele on social media, and join the same networking groups they're members of to make yourself known. Publish high-value content to these sites daily. In doing so, you cast a wide net and encourage the buyer to come to you. I call this approach indirect prospecting."
Exercise, get enough sleep, don't eat too many fatty foods, don't drink too much, take time off from work. Those are all components of a healthy lifestyle. Each is needed, but in a balanced way. Too much of one, and you move into the unhealthy end of the spectrum.
The same balanced approach applies to your sales process. You need to prospect, close deals, and service clients, but focus too much on one of those, and you create a boom/bust cycle, says Colleen Francis, author of Nonstop Sales Boom in her podcast interview 3 Reasons Why Firms Experience Boom/Bust Sales Cycles.
You have to understand "that your sales pipeline is a multi-dimensional thing—that you have to take leads from all different places, and you have to be nurturing your existing clients as well as your new clients," she says. "We have to be asking for referrals and leveraging our existing client base, as well as going out and meeting brand-new people in order to really create this healthy buoyant sales environment where you're consistently hitting your targets."
"Jack of all trades, master of none."
It's never a good thing to be considered that, especially when trying to bring in new clients. Buyers don't want Jacks; they want masters. For when you're a master, you offer the expertise, comfort, and trustworthiness that makes people want to work with you.
Although you might have many skills and the ability to offer many services to various types of businesses, you need to narrow your focus—in your marketing, in your presentations, and in your conversations with prospects.
Resist the urge to be all things to all of your buyers, says Joe Pulizzi, founder of the Content Marketing Institute. For your content marketing to succeed, you must focus on a smaller portion of your overall audience, he says in his podcast interview 3 Areas in Content Marketing Where Service Firms Go Wrong.
"I think that's where service firms go wrong because [they] try to cover all of [their] customers and say, 'How can we get the most bang for our buck out of content marketing,'" Pulizzi says. "Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. So, we want to focus on the smallest niche audience that we feel we can make the most impact with."
When selling and marketing your services and your business, it might feel like you're walking a narrow line between being perceived as a trusted advisor and a pushy, even desperate, salesperson. One misstep—even if that misstep was an accident—can push you over the line. And before you know it, there goes the sale.
What can you do? You're excited about your services, and you want to help people. But if you push too hard, buyers will walk. That medium ground involves doing things that assure prospects you can be trusted and "that you have their best interests at heart," says Colleen Stanley in her article Are You a Trusted Advisor or a Typical Salesperson?
Two things on the top of her list are seeking the truth and telling the truth. Seeking the truth involves finding the root of the buyer's problem. You must ask questions and really listen to what the buyer says. Don't wait for cues to jump in and give your spiel. Uncover their true needs, then offer a solution.
If it turns out you don't have the expertise or resources to help solve their problem, tell them so.
I know many people who put down abstract artists—artists such as Jackson Pollack, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Paul Cézanne.
They say things such as: Anyone can do what they do. It's just paint splatter. It's just a bunch of squiggles. People are not made out of cubes. No woman ever looks like that with her eyes off level and her nose huge.
And they sound so annoyed and disgusted by the work from those artists.
The truth is before artists can create abstract art, they must master the fine skills of painting and drawing. (If you look at Picasso's earlier work, such as The Old Fisherman, you will clearly see his talent for depicting the human figure.) Once artists have those skills, then they can express themselves via abstract techniques—sometimes breaking the rules they were taught.
The same applies to all arts: writing, dance, photography, music, etc.
Not only that, but it also applies to sales and marketing. You need certain skills to succeed. But you also need to build on those skills, have the right mindset, and develop a nuanced approach.
Everyone is looking for the "secret," the "trick," the "one thing," and so on that will make their lives easier. Whether it's losing weight, looking younger, getting more Twitter followers, or generating more leads, we'd all love to have a quick and easy way to make it happen.
The truth is the Easy button does not exist (sorry, Staples). There are no secrets or tricks. Everything takes time and effort. Everything is a process.
And sometimes the thing that's needed to achieve a goal is ignored. Consider marketing professional services. People know they should focus their efforts on specific markets with a targeted set of services, but they don't, writes Michael W. McLaughlin in his article The 'Secret' of Professional Services Marketing.
You're in a meeting with a prospect. It starts out great. They are friendly, they listen attentively, they answer your questions, and they ask you a few questions.
But then as you explain your solution's features, share some statistics, and talk about how your service helped a similar company, you notice one of the people on the buying team shaking his head. Not long after that, another person on the team looks at her watch and another pulls out his phone to check his messages.
You've lost them. They don't care, and they don't want to hear any more.
More than likely your gut is telling you to get out of that situation—and get out of there as fast as you can. Run! Some people would—they'd cave to their addiction for comfort and leave the uncomfortable situation as soon as possible. And they would lose the sale.
If you face your discomfort, however, and stop the presentation to address their actions ("Jim, you don't seem to agree with those statistics. Have you heard something different?"), you can uncover the source of their problem, keep the conversation going, and work toward the sale.
The key to handling this type of uncomfortable situation is to decide how you're going to handle it before it happens, says Jeff Shore in his podcast interview How to Build Your 'Boldness Muscle' and Win More Sales.
"And bad mistakes ‒ I've made a few." —Queen, "We Are the Champions"
We all make mistakes. We say something that we think is helpful (to a prospect, client, or even a spouse), and it backfires. Or we act selfishly (I have a quota, goal, revenue target, etc. to meet), and the short-term gain causes us long-term benefits.
Mistakes are human nature—even the pros make them. It's how you handle those mistakes that matters. You can deny it happened, ignore it, hang on to it and make yourself miserable, or learn from it and try to not let it happen again.
You might even be making mistakes unknowingly. Your brain (and sometimes your gut) tells you what you're doing is right, but in reality you should be doing the opposite.
