CHICAGO, Feb. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Larry Ambrose woke up one night, wandered into his kitchen but couldn't completely read the time on his microwave. A few days later when he noticed his blood pressure was unusually high, he went to the hospital and was diagnosed as having a stroke. Ambrose, like 25 percent of all stroke patients, experienced a cryptogenic stroke, meaning despite numerous tests, physicians were unable to determine a cause.
"There were no warning signs and I felt there was nothing I could do to stop it from happening again," said Ambrose, who is 75 years old. "It's a scary feeling."
For stroke patients like Ambrose, physicians believe atrial fibrillation, or a fast and irregular heartbeat, may occur without the patient's knowledge, causing the stroke. To better understand the connection between atrial fibrillation and stroke, Northwestern Medicine® physician researchers from cardiology and neurology teamed up to monitor people diagnosed with a cryptogenic strokes for intermittent atrial fibrillation using a tiny implantable cardiac monitor about the size of a jump drive. The patients monitored were part of a study called CRYSTAL AF (Study of Continuous Cardiac Monitoring to Assess Atrial Fibrillation after Cryptogenic Stroke). Northwestern Memorial Hospital was the leading enrolling site in North America for the four-year trial which enrolled 441 people across 55 centers. At Northwestern Memorial, 19 subjects enrolled in the trial, including Ambrose.
Approximately half were continuously monitored by the implanted cardiac monitor. The device monitored for the first documented event of atrial fibrillation following enrollment in the trial. Co-investigators Richard Bernstein, MD, PhD director of the Northwestern Medicine Stroke Program and Telestroke, and Rod Passman, MD, medical director for the Center for Atrial Fibrillation at the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, are on the international steering committee for the CRYSTAL AF trial sponsored by Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management.
The results – unveiled on Feb. 14 at the American Heart Association's International Stroke Conference in San Diego, Calif. – found that the device detected atrial fibrillation in 30 percent of people with cryptogenic stroke who were monitored. Using standard techniques, physicians only found atrial fibrillation in about 3 percent of these patients. Because of these results, the 30 percent patients were almost all switched to blood thinners which should protect them better from having another stroke, said Bernstein, who is also a professor of neurology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine.
"Having a stroke really rattles your foundations," Bernstein said. "Being told by your doctor that they have no idea why you had it and that they are just guessing at the best medication to prevent another one is even worse. With this clinical trial, we eliminated that second problem-- not knowing the cause -- in about a third of those patients."
Because cryptogenic strokes are common, these findings could help hundreds of thousands of people every year. More than 750,000 people suffer a stroke in the United States every year and about one third of those are cryptogenic strokes.
When atrial fibrillation is detected in a patient following stroke, anticoagulant therapy is recommended for secondary stroke prevention. While anticoagulant therapy can be successful in preventing future stroke, physicians do not use it proactively unless atrial fibrillation has been detected because of potential risk from the medication and complexity of the treatment.
The continuous monitoring device captured and automatically stored any abnormal ECG activity. Passman and his team then reviewed and analyzed the remotely-transmitted data. After the participants were implanted, they are followed at one month and every six months thereafter for three years. The control group received standard of care optimal medical treatment and followed up at the same intervals.
"We found using a tiny implantable device to detect an abnormal heart rhythm is much better than the usual tests we previously used," said Passman, who is also a professor of cardiology at the Feinberg School of Medicine "This is critical because finding a-fib in patients with stroke of unknown cause is important because once we find it, we put the patients on blood thinners and they are much more effective than the aspirin-like drugs they would otherwise take."
Ambrose was identified by Bernstein as a cryptogenic stroke patient and was the first subject implanted by Passman with the cardiac monitoring device at Northwestern Memorial. Each morning, he used a handheld Patient Assist Device to monitor if the implanted monitor has recorded any abnormalities. While atrial fibrillation was not detected in Ambrose, he said simply having the device was a comfort.
"I knew people were monitoring me and I was helping doctors figure out a way to end the worry of having a second stroke for other patients like me," said Ambrose, a Chicago resident. "Otherwise, I would have just gone home and been very nervous it was going to happen again."

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

Bosnia flights stop as Nato and UN clash
Saturday 03 December 1994
A source told the Independent that UN military authorities in Bosnia had been imposing increasingly tough limits on Nato patrols with the intention of ending them. Britain and France have worked to limit Nato involvement and the source said that they had been working with the UN military authorities.
A furious row broke out between the two organisations yesterday, with the Nato secretary-general, Willy Claes, and UN spokesmen repeatedly contradicting each other. Mr Claes insisted that Nato was still enforcing the UN-declared no-fly zone over Bosnia, but a UN spokesman in Sarajevo said Nato had stood down patrols at the UN's request.
The row flared as the five-nation Contact Group on the former Yugoslavia continued its push for a Bosnia peace deal. After meeting in Brussels, foreign ministers said an existing peace plan carving up Bosnia 49 to 51 per cent between Serbs and Muslims still remained the basis of any final settlement.
However, in spite of strong reservations from the Germans, the group agreed to links between Bosnian Serbs and Serbia in any future Bosnian confederation. Relations between Nato and the UN have deteriorated rapidly since the Bosnian Serbs threatened last week to overrun the UN ''safe area'' of Bihac - apparently furthering the aim of creating a ''Greater Serbia''.
In Sarajevo, the UN special envoy, Yasushi Akashi, Lieutenant-General Sir Michael Rose, the UN commander in Bosnia, and other officials yesterday had a narrow escape when Bosnian Serbs hit the presidency building in Sarajevo with two wire-guided missiles minutes after their arrival there for talks. Mr Akashi later went on to Pale, the Bosnian Serb capital, where he said Radovan Karadzic, the Bosnian Serb leader, had agreed to release hundreds of UN peace-keepers detained after Nato air strikes two weeks ago.
One reason for the UN request that Nato stop its patrols was a fear that Nato planes might attack Serb missile batteries that locked on to alliance warplanes with radar. The UN spokesman Thant Myint-U said yesterday that such action by Nato could ''dramatically escalate the situation . . . there would be a massive escalation on the ground that could spin out of control''. Nato spokesmen, however, were angry at suggestions that its planes could be threatened by Serb surface-to-air missile sites.

Calif. Historian Uncovers Passport Believed to Be Used by Nazi's "Angel of Death"tags: California, Josef Mengele
A history hunter and military expert in San Diego recently uncovered what he believes to be a passport used by Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele, also known as the "Angel of Death," to flee to Argentina in 1949.
"This is it, this is as good as it gets. An object like this has an ability to speak to you," said Craig Gottlieb, the 42-year-old former Marine who bought the passport.
Gottlieb is a collector of military antiques and firearms. He lives in San Diego's North County area and has also been a regular on TV's "Pawn Stars."
Gottlieb told NBC San Diego he purchased the passport in October from an Argentinean researcher who got it from a woman who worked as Mengele's secretary up until his death in 1979....

I have been using l'oreal feria pure intense red for some time now and twice I have ended up with ginger hair and the last time I bought one they didn't place a colour boost in the box. It has damaged the ends of my hair as they are all dry now and have to dye my hair every 2 week using this hair dye. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody! My friends have had the same problem with the purple. I wouldn't use it on my hair again as it costs to much to dye it every 2 week as my roots have come through. I would of like to know more about this product before I bought it, I got told it was good but its really not worth it.

Fitch Affirms Bulgarian Development Bank at 'BBB-'
Fitch rating agency has affirmed the Bulgarian Development Bank's long-term issuer default rating at 'BBB-' on the back of lack of changes in the Bulgarian sovereign's ratings or the bank's ownership and role.
The outlook on the long-term IDR is stable.
Bulgarian sovereign's ratings is currently at 'BBB-'/Stable.
The bank's ratings are underpinned by the high probability of support from the Bulgarian state, if needed, the rating agency said in an official statement.
This view is based on the bank's 99.99% state ownership and its core mandate as an instrument of government developmental policy.
They also reflect the bank's relatively small size and track-record of operating with low leverage, and hence the small size of any potential support, if required, from the sovereign.
The Bulgarian Development Bank (BDB) AD is the successor of Encouragement Bank set up in 1999. The latter was transformed into a development bank after the adoption of a special law by the Parliament of Bulgaria in April 2008.
BDB is a small development bank, whose mandate is to provide loan financing to domestic SMEs, either directly, or through the provision of wholesale earmarked funding through local commercial banks.
36% of the bank's total funding was either guaranteed by the state or provided by the government itself at end-H112.
The bank also acts as the preferred agent for various government lending programs, including the assimilation of EU funds. The bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, the National Guarantee Fund and the JOBS Microfinance Institution.

In the U.S. House, Republicans held serve on Election Day, coming away with a majority similar to what they have held the past two years. But in the Senate the GOP failed to gain any ground despite Obama and his poor record being at the top of the ticket. Republicans failed to win two highly attainable Senate seats — in Missouri and Indiana — because the candidates proved to be incompetent on the stump, with remarks about rape that rightfully torpedoed any chance of winning.
Liberal columnist Leonard Pitts Jr. suggested the GOP has "chosen to double down on its shrinking base. Worse, it has chosen to appeal to that base with a platform of fear mongering, xenophobia, demagoguery and inchoate anger so extreme as to make Ronald Reagan seem almost a hippie by comparison." Yet criticism of the party isn't coming solely from liberals.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who heads the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said after Tuesday night that, "Clearly we have work to do in the weeks and months ahead." And the Washington Post's George Will argued that "unless they (Republicans) respond to accelerating demographic changes ... the 58th presidential election may be like the 57th, only more so."
Harsh, perhaps, but also true.

Lancashire's New Stands Will Have To Be Restructured After 2013 Season
Published March 20, 2013
NO ASHES IMPACT: In London, Andy Wilson wrote the new stands were completed last year as part of the £32M ($48M) redevelopment of Old Trafford. The club has stressed that "there will be no impact" on the Ashes Test it is to stage this summer to celebrate Old Trafford's return as an int'l venue. The ground is already "virtually sold out" for the first four days of the event. But this will be seen as the latest in a series of "blows that have dogged the redevelopment since it was first mooted almost a decade ago" (GUARDIAN, 3/19).

Smaller fund player shines at awards' competition
Within its peer group—Canadian fixed-income balanced—the Steadyhand Income Fund has performed exceptionally well over its nearly six-year history.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Achieving excellence in a mutual fund—superior returns at a reasonable cost—isn't the exclusive preserve of the industry giants. At the Morningstar Canadian Investment Awards held this week in Toronto, smaller players picked up numerous trophies.
Among the honoured underdogs was Steadyhand Investment Funds, which won the award for the best Canadian balanced fund for its Steadyhand Income Fund.
Management of Steadyhand Income is contracted out to Vancouver-based Connor Clark & Lunn Investment Management, which runs mostly institutional assets. Within its more narrowly defined peer group—Canadian fixed-income balanced—the fund has performed exceptionally well over its nearly six-year history.
Another positive attribute is its low management expense ratio of 1.04 per cent, compared with the median MER of 1.91 per cent. Most of these savings are due to the fact that Steadyhand, unlike most fund companies, does not pay trailer commissions to brokers and dealers.
Equity funds and their managers tend to have a higher profile, and that goes for awards events. But for what balanced funds lack in excitement, they more than make up for in popularity. Combining equity and fixed-income holdings, they appeal to investors of modest means who look to mutual funds to make investing simple and convenient.
For years, balanced products—including funds of funds—have been the best selling type of mutual fund, and that trend remains fully intact. As of the end of October, according to the latest sales data released by the Investment Funds Institute of Canada, year-to-date sales of balanced funds totalled $23 billion. Meanwhile, equity funds collectively had net redemptions of $11.5 billion over the same period.
There are different types of balanced funds: those mostly holding stocks, those mostly holding bonds and those somewhere in between. Of the three other award finalists among domestic balanced funds, Fidelity Monthly Income has more of a neutral asset mix, with TD Monthly Income and Norrep Income Growth having a tilt toward equities.
Among global balanced funds, another big-selling category, the award winner was another conservative mandate, CI Investments Inc.'s Signature High Income. Though it invests mostly in Canada, its foreign holdings exceed the threshold for domestic funds. Currently, more than 40 per cent of the fund's holdings are non-Canadian stocks or bonds.
The jury for the mutual fund awards consisted of fund analysts from investment firms and third-party researchers including Morningstar Canada. (I served on the juries for investor education and career achievement, but not the mutual funds jury.)
Though winning an award is indicative of merit, that doesn't necessarily make a fund a suitable investment for a particular individual. For an investor seeking long-term growth, a balanced fund like the award-winning Steadyhand Income isn't a good fit, since the fund currently holds more than two-thirds of its assets in fixed income and cash.
Availability through brokerage channels, including discounters, can also be an issue. Since Steadyhand doesn't pay any trailer commissions, brokers may be reluctant or in some cases refuse outright to carry it.
This reflects negatively on the brokerage, rather than the fund company, since brokers can get paid by charging commissions to buy or sell fund units.
Other fund managers that have been shut out of some brokerage channels for not paying trailer fees include Vancouver's Leith Wheeler Investment Counsel and Calgary-based Mawer Investment Management.
Mawer picked up four awards for its funds—in the Canadian equity, Canadian small to mid-cap equity, international equity and global small to mid-cap categories. This goes to show that, depending on which broker you deal with, funds judged to be outstanding by analysts aren't necessarily the ones that will be made available to you.

And these days hes pretty much single-handedly maintaining the Holy Trinity of rock sex, drugs and rocknroll with a touch of class. Hes the kind of guy that even rock stars are nervous to meet. Hes seen the Beatles first television performance, was a roadie for Jimi Hendrix and his tour stories are the stuff of legend. More importantly, were it not for his gravelly throat, iconic handlebar moustache and grinding Rickenbacker bass delivering uncompromised, no-holds-barred rocknroll since 1975, virtually any band utilizing distortion and power chords today simply wouldnt exist.Even at 62, Kilmister refuses to slow down, touring in support of latest album Motorizer (SPV/Steamhammer) with long-time cohorts Phillip Campbell (guitar) and Mikkey Dee (drums). While Motorizer is Motorheads most accomplished and diverse effort in almost a decade, Lemmy understandably feels its no different than their previous 23 studio efforts. "Motorizer is a good album but then again, theyve all been good albums, he declares in his trademark to-the-point manner, replete with enigmatically dry British humour. "I hope people latch onto it. I advise everyone to buy two copies. You wont be disappointed. Why not three? They make great coasters if you dont like it.What are you up to?Were on tour with Judas Priest and Heaven and Hell. Were in Oklahoma City.What are your current fixations?Women with three tits. You dont get a lot of em, yknow. You gotta look carefully.Why do you live where you do?Cause its home.Whats something you consider a mind-altering work of art?"The Scream by Edvard Munch.What has been your most memorable or inspirational gig and why?One I remember the best was the first time I saw Hendrix, which was pretty inspirational cause the guy was magic. But Ive also seen the Beatles. Ive seen a lot of people. Its difficult to pick one out. Im pretty difficult to please... Im spoiled now. [UK instrumental UK band] The Sounds Incorporated were great. Theyre long gone but it was one of the best gigs I ever saw.What have been your career highs and lows?The high was probably going straight in at number one [for their 1981 live album No Sleep Til Hammersmith]. The low was probably just after it. You couldnt do another live album to go straight in at number one, could you?Whats the meanest thing ever said to you before, during or after a gig?I dunno... people usually dont say very mean stuff to me.What should everyone shut up about?Everything. Most people dont have the fucking knowledge to back up an opinion. They just have it. I think everyone should shut up and start finding out. Go back to school. Learn some history.What traits do you most like and most dislike about yourself?I like the persistence and refusal to admit defeat. I dislike that Im lazy sometimes, but then again, Im 62, so what the fuck do you want?Whats your idea of a perfect Sunday?Perfect Sunday? By 11:30 it should be Monday. Sundays arent much fun, especially in a religious country. Fuck that... everyone singin and ringing bells and shit. Its fuckin terrible.What advice should you have taken, but did not?Dont touch that red button. Or dont sit them two wives together. Pick one.What would make you kick someone out of your band and/or bed, and have you?Yes. Heroin.What do you think of when you think of Canada?That large country just above the States and to one side of Russia. Canadas always a great place for us. Weve always had a good time up there and people are great.What was the first LP/cassette/CD/eight track you ever bought with your own money?The Buddy Holly Story on vinyl.What was your most memorable day job?When I was a housepainter for this gay guy. Me and my mate were doing this house up for an old-ish gay guy. You cant believe what his name was: Mr. Brownsword. Can you fuckin believe that? That was incredible. Talk about life is art.How do you spoil yourself?I have strawberries and sugar to dip them in backstage. Its pretty good.If I wasnt playing music I would be In jail, probably.What do you fear most?Fear itself.What makes you want to take it off and get it on?Girls. Not boys. What has been your strangest celebrity encounter?[Eagles guitarist] Joe Walsh once tapped me on the shoulder in a bar at the CMJ Convention. He said, "Ive wanted to meet you for a long time, then turned around and walked away from me. Very strange. I never saw him again. But what an incredible introduction, huh? Who would be your ideal dinner guest, living or dead, and what would you serve them?Napoleon. Probably... worms.What song would you like to have played at your funeral?The theme from Laurel And Hardy. Id have three six-foot guys and three midgets to carry the coffin. GET IT!

These are 2 wall hangings that i made. They were looking nice hanging on my wall together, but sadly i had to part with them (As they went to new homes as presents… as is what happens with most of my creations) But not to worry, there is no doubt that i will be making more!!
*I used a think canvas (just crappy quality ones from the book shop… strange place to sell them i know… ) *Interfacing *fabric scraps, thread etc.. haha
Well its quite a lovely story here… I was at work one saturday, and on my beloved half hour break, reading a magazine, when i saw this gorgeous ad for 'Mount Franklin Water'. It had all these really cute illustrated tree's, and strange looking plants, in a drawn kinda style… i just couldn't help but use these little pictures as patterns to make a wall hanging… (if anyone wants to use the pictures as patterns or inspiration, just let me know and i'll post a picture of the ad. :)

I need help choosing sports!
So, i play softball but i don't really like it. I am in 7th grade and im going to stop playing softball when i reach high school. I have a passion for skiing and surfing. It's what im good at. But high schools have no teams for that...... I am really stuck on what sport to play!!!!! Tennis is another sport that i play and really like. I just need to work on it. My sister is an amazing soccer player. Shes always on the front cover of the paper. About once every two weeks. In my family im the smart one. I get straight A's and im proud of it. I work very hard to earn what i earn. i need your advice!
Hey Girl, try joining a club team outside of school or create one with a group of friends. There are a lot of opportunities to compete in a sport outside of school. Look into that.

hi,I need a lot of help. I have trouble with eating and staying at a healthy weight my family is built bigger. so am I but i still need help i want to be healthy.
by fashion4ever:) on 9/20/2012 5:28:56 PM
I know how you feel. On my dads side there is a huge obesity/type 2 diabetes gene. Type 2 diabetes is most common to people who have an "apple" shape. An apple shape is when you store most of your fat in your belly. My dad is not fat because he works very hard and him and I are the only ones in the family of 8 who have an "apple" shape so I have to work extra hard on staying in shape and healthy. I wish you luck on a healthy life!

Don't be worried. When your in good shape, you will not gain weight. If you really worry, try to stay away from too junk food, and ask yourself, "which one is better". But, don't put yourself under too much stress, because it will make you worry a lot, you become too skinny, like me. I worry about what i eat a lot. And i'm sure you will be a really healthy person if you stick to exercising and healthy foods.

Nelson gives more than $120K for explosion relief
WEST, Texas (AP) -- Country star Willie Nelson has donated more than $120,000 for relief efforts following a deadly fertilizer plant explosion near his Central Texas hometown.
A representative for Nelson on Monday afternoon presented a check for nearly $81,000 to the West Volunteer Fire Department. Most of the money was raised during Nelson's Austin-area concert last month celebrating his 80th birthday.
About $40,000 was donated to Nelson's hometown of Abbott, which had a truck destroyed in the massive April 17 blast in West. The explosion killed 14 people and left about 200 hurt.
Texas law enforcement officials on Friday launched a criminal investigation into the explosion at West Fertilizer Co. that damaged or destroyed dozens of structures.
West is about 70 miles south of Fort Worth.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Online professional-networking service LinkedIn's fourth-quarter performance added another line to its sterling resume as a public company.
LinkedIn's 4Q gets rave reviews from investors
The results announced Thursday extended LinkedIn Corp.'s uninterrupted streak of exceeding analysts' projections for both earnings and revenue. It marked the seventh consecutive quarter since LinkedIn's May 2011 IPO that the company has pulled that off, to the delight of investors.
The run of pleasant surprises is one of the reasons that LinkedIn's stock has tripled from its initial public offering price of $45. The shares surged $11.71, or 9.4 percent, to $135.80 in extended trading after the numbers came out.
Besides a 66 percent increase in earnings from the previous year, the latest quarter was highlighted by an influx of 15 million accounts to propel LinkedIn's total membership beyond 200 million. Visitors to LinkedIn's website also viewed 67 percent more pages than the previous year, an indication that the company's efforts to add more business news and career tips from top business executives are paying off.
Wall Street's embrace of LinkedIn contrasts with the cold response given to other Internet services that have gone public during the past few years. Most of them are trading below their IPO prices. The most notable is Facebook Inc., whose stock is worth about 25 percent less than it was when it made its market debut in May.
Although both run websites devoted to connecting people with common interests, LinkedIn and Facebook are targeting different audiences. Facebook focuses mostly on letting friends and family share good times and swap stories, while LinkedIn concentrates on helping people advance their careers and helping companies fill jobs.
Facebook, which is based in Menlo Park, is the larger of the two services, with more than 1 billion active users and $5.1 billion in revenue last year. LinkedIn, which is based in Mountain View, Calif., has 202 million accountholders and revenue of $972 million in 2012.

|SPRINGFIELD The Loomis Communities, a leading non-profit provider of senior housing and care, announced recently that it is the successful bidder to acquire the assets of Reeds Landing, a retirement community in Springfield.
Reeds Landing, established in 1993, is also a non-profit continuing care retirement community, featuring 120 independent living apartments and cottages as well as 56 assisted living apartments and a skilled nursing center with 42 beds.
"We're pleased that Reeds Landing will become the newest member of our family," said Carol Katz, CEO of Loomis Communities. "Loomis and Reeds have much in common, and we believe that our missions, goals and programs reflect shared values. We are committed to providing high quality services to the residents and will honor all existing resident agreements as we assume ownership of the community.
"This acquisition effectively complements our other retirement communities: Loomis Village in South Hadley, Loomis House in Holyoke and Applewood in Amherst," she added. "More than anything else, we are excited about the opportunity to bring our full array of services and high quality care to create a full and vibrant community."
"Everyone at Reeds Landing is extremely pleased that Loomis is the preferred bidder and we are looking forward to working with them in the future," said Bob Smith, president of the Reeds Landing Residents' Association.
The Loomis Communities has provided exceptional senior living in the scenic Pioneer Valley for over 100 years. As a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) they are able to provide a complete continuum of care which allows residents to age in place.
A not-for-profit organization, the Loomis Communities was chartered in 1902 and has grown to be the area's premier provider of services to seniors.
Its corporate headquarters are located at 246 North Main St. in South Hadley.

I worked at Huntress Group full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
I have worked for Huntress Group for 3 years and loved every minute of it! The culture is very 'work hard, play hard' and my colleagues / management have always made it an enjoyable place to work. The new CEO is a true inspiration and I expect to hear good things about Huntress Group over the next few years, making them a real contender within the Recruitment industry. I would highly recommend Huntress Group as an employer.Cons
There was not a great training scheme when I started in 2010, but this has now been rectified and there is a new training and development programme in place making it a great Company to start your recruitment career for anyone interested in getting into the industry!Advice to ManagementAdvice
Just to continue to make the improvements within the organisation to attract and retain the best staff so that they can look forward to coming into work everyday just as much as I have!RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

Components:New Jade, Wood beads, 19 strand beadalon wire, plated jump rings

Very pretty mix of colors–I agree with you on bigger jumprings!
thank you for your honest opinion
I like it the way it is!
I love the colors Peggy, but I'm with you in thinking the the bigger jumprings would be better.
Thank you Gail and Wanda.
I did a few of the larger rings and it didn't work.
It has to be a good fit w/ the rings and beads to make a good pattern. I'll stick with the 1st one I made
Ok, maybe the jump rings are a little small but I still really like it. I think the color mix is just gorgeous!
Love the colours and the texture!
Love it the way it is!
What a beauty!
I like it the way it is as well. I love the design beautifully done.
Thank you
I like it the way it is – kind of an eclectic feel. The uneven beads makes it interesting. I love the color combination. Beautiful!
