Each of these Kids should be taught Public Speaking, and be an Ambassador in their Community, To Teach Toleration of ALL Others that are different in some way from themselves, and that we ALL have "obstacles" to overcome, and the Joy that Comes In Overcoming, rather than the Despair that comes with allowing those perceived "shortcomings" from making us Miserable. "Be the Best We Can Be"
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

- Climate change impacts on habitats and biodiversity : From environmental envelope modelling to nature conservation strategies (2011)
- Climate change will pose entirely new challenges for nature conservation. A literature study of 852 publications (between 2003 and 2010) illuminates this topic, examines driving research forces as well as focal points and shows recent research gaps. Here could be shown that changes in species distribution, diverse consequences for habitats, changing communities as well as biotic interactions and general aspects of diversity are the major challenges. The potential climatic modifications can alter deeply the distribution of animals and plants. Range changes due to recent climate change already exist and are traceable. In order to quantify such changes, environmental envelope modelling can be used. In addition to individual species, changes in distribution of more complex units are also conceivable. The present work mainly focuses on habitat types listed in the Annex I of the European Habitats Directive. To reveal the potential range changes of habitat types, two principally different modelling approaches have been developed. An indirect approach modelling the distribution of a habitat type using the distribution of its characteristic plant species and a direct approach, using the distribution of the habitat type itself. These two approaches were tested by modelling five grassland habitat types. Looking at the modelled results all habitats are projected to lose between 22% and 93% of their range in the 'no dispersal' scenario. Both approaches produce reasonable results. However, modelling an extensive set of habitat types using the indirect approach is currently not possible, because of the required but actually lacking amount of plant distribution data. Therefore, the direct approach is an appropriate instrument for modelling habitat types. Here, all 127 widespread terrestrial habitat types defined in the Annex I of the Habitats Directive were modelled and, resulting from this, a map of terrestrial habitat type diversity was calculated. Several habitat types are projected to lose many of their actually suitable areas, in particular bogs, rocky habitats, grassland and in part forests. Due to their developmental time or rather due to their special abiotic requirements, bogs and rocky habitats even lose under the assumption of a full dispersal scenario. However, most heath and grassland habitats are also projected to lose in the full dispersal scenario. Pooling all modelled results together, terrestrial habitat type diversity is shifting partly to mountain regions and the atlantic biogeographical region is projected to decrease in habitat type diversity. According to the Habitats Directive habitat types listed in Annex I are protected in 'sites of community interest' aiming to maintain or restore them at a favourable conservation status. Due to the projected changes a static nature conservation concept could face problems which particularly concern the coherence of the protected area network. This could lead to a loss of protective goods in spite of protected areas. To illustrate the potential problems and difficulties emerging with respect to spatial coherence of habitat types between protected areas, an analysis of spatial coherence under future conditions for a variety of habitat types in Germany was conducted. Here, a combination of environmental envelope modelling and graph theory is presented to assess the coherence of nature conservation networks. The possible incapacity of species to reach all climatically suitable areas is currently debated. Therefore, spatial scales are not only crucial for the coherence of protected areas but also for the question if future projected suitable areas could be colonized. Dispersal movements of species are only infrequently possible in our highly fragmented landscape. To answer this raising question, Odonata listed in the Habitats Directive with known dispersal distances were contemplated. The species Coenagrion ornatum, C. mercuriale and Ophiogomphus cecilia are projected to lose range when incorporating specific dispersal distances, while they are projected to extend their range in the unrestricted dispersal scenario. Furthermore, suitable climatic conditions tend to decline for Leucorrhinia albifrons and L. caudalis, whereas L. pectoralis is projected to gain distribution area assuming either species-specific or unrestricted dispersal. The nature conservation measure of translocation is an at least 100 years old methodology with pros and cons. In this thesis, the emerging problems and opportunities of this species preservation strategy are presented. Further, a new question about the 'focal unit' is pointed out as well as the problem of genetic variability and the aspect of pre-adopted subspecies. Moreover, a selective assisted colonisation not by moving species but ecotypes is referred.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- An Arizona congressman has reintroduced a bill that would ban abortions in the District of Columbia after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
The bill is a top priority of anti-abortion groups, and 11 states have passed similar legislation. It's based on the disputed claim that fetuses can feel pain at a gestational age of 20 weeks or older.
The Republican-led House voted in favor of the measure last year, but it was considered under special rules and did not proceed to the Senate.
Republican Rep. Trent Franks of Arizona, who introduced the bill, says it takes on new urgency following revelations from the trial of Kermit Gosnell, a Philadelphia abortion doctor charged with killing babies after they were born alive. The District of Columbia has no criminal laws restricting abortion.

Whitewater kayaking in Cagayan de Oro river, Philippines is a totally different experience compared to whitewater rafting. The thrill and excitement is more intense than rafting because you are on your own. You can stay longer in a particular rapids or location as compared to a raft. You can even paddle upstream if the current is not strong enough. Making the most of it and having fun. It's a confidence building experience from put-in to take-out point. But we do it as safe as possible. (Source : KayakDomain)
Cagayan de Oro's annual fiesta celebration, popularly known as Higalaay Festival, is a week-long festivity filled with a series of colorful, culturally-rich and fun-filled core events that culminate on the 28th of August , the feast day of the city's patron saint, St. Augustine.The celebration has grown not only as the customary day of thanksgiving but also as a rallying point for a campaign to promote Cagayan de Oro City and the surrounding areas globally as an investment and tourism destination.
This is a vast property abundant with magnificent waterfalls , imposing views, and exciting activities nestled in the forest park in Cugman. It offers a relaxing environment for those seeking peace and solitude as well as a site for fun and adventure for kids at heart of all ages. Rappel from a 65 foot waterfall. Take a leisurely ride on horseback while exploring the 2,500-hectares property. Dip in its spring-fed swimming pools or take the gripping ziplines. The park also caters to group events and conducts eco-lectures and team-building activities for companies, corporations and groups.
Probaby the biggest military cap in the world, the "scrambled egg hat" marks the spot in the Macabalan Port where Gen. Douglas MacArthur landed in 1942 enroute to his escape to Australia during World War II. The big five golden stars supporting the cap represent the rank of the general. A replica of a USAFFE PT Boat is encased in glass at the center of the marker.
Constructed in 1902 to serve as a fire breach, the park, known as Divisoria, consist of five islands featuring the monuments of the national hero Jose P. Rizal, President Ramon Magsaysay, and Andres Bonifacio. The City of Freedom monument and the Kiosko Kagawasan are also in Divisoria.The Kiosko Kagawasan serve as a venue for cultural an political events. It has the bronze statue of the legendary City Mayor Justiniano T. Borja , done by National Artist Napoeon Abueva.
Tha cave was the site of the historic Battle of Macahambus on June 4, 1900 which marked the Filipinos' first victory against the American during the Philippine - American war. A Marker of the National Historical Institute is placed at the entrance of the cave. The cave is a short cavern that leads to a breathtaking view of the Cagayan de Oro River meanding below.
The Saint Augustine Cathedral was built in 1624 by Fray Agustin San Pedro who was called El Padre Capitan by the residents here. In 1778, boththe church and convent were burned down. From its ruins, Fray Pedro de Santa Barbara, together with generous Cagayanons, built the new church which was inagurated in 1780. But, it too did not last long as it was gutted in 1831.In 1841, the church was rebuilt using concrete materials. It was adorned with beautiful paintings of the four evangelists. It had a pipe organ. The wooden cross which stands today in the front of the cathedral, was erected in 1888.Archbishop James Hayes, SJ, in 1946 rebuilt the Cathedral and the Convent until 1946. It was about this time that the stained glass, given by the New York Sacred Heart chapel, was installed. (PHOTO : by Rhoel Condeza)
Cagayan de Oro is the Whitewater Rafting Capital in the Philippines. It isthe only city in the country that offers rafting year-round. Its river depth, incline and rock formations make rafting here in the Cagayan River a fund and exciting experience.Enthusiasts can connect with any of the several whitewater rafting operators and choose the level of thrill they can handle from 'beginner' to 'advance' to 'extreme'. You can opt to conquer just 14 rapids or go for all 21 of them!The rapids are at an internval of not less than 10-15 minutes of each other.Truly whitewater rafting on the Cagayan River has everything that makes for a one-of-a-kind thrill with awesome roar and power of water cascading over rocks and boulders.
The present building was constructed in 1940 and it is located on the grounds where the Casa Real once stood. With Cagayan de Misamis (the old name of Cagayan de Oro) as the capital of the Segundo Distrito de Mindanao, the Casa Real wasthe seat of the Spanish colonial administration with a Spanish military governor at the helm.On January 10, 1899, Cagayan de Misamis celebrated the new Philippine Republic with a festive parade and cannonades. The center of the two day celebration was the Casa Real where the first elected local officials held office. A historical marker place by the Cagayan de Oro Historical and Cultural Commission was installed in the building a hundred years later. (PHOTO : by Rhoel Condeza)
Named after a pre-war Municipal Mayor of Cagayan de Oro, Segundo Gaston, the park is located near the St. Augustine Cathedral and the Archbishop's Palace. Gaston Park was the main plaza of Cagayan de Misamis during the Spanish colonial period. It served as the training ground of local patriots during the Philippine-American War. Later it became the site of the Battle of Cagayan de Misamis on April 7, 1900. A National Historical Institute marker was placed in the park in 2000.

The 911 Carrera models are equipped as standard with Bi-Xenon headlights including a headlight cleaning system and dynamic range control. With dipped or main beam, the road ahead is illuminated more uniformly.
The LED front light units incorporate direction indicators, daytime running lights and position lights.
Automatic headlight activation is also included as standard. The moment it gets dark, the daytime running lights switch off and the dipped beam headlights switch on automatically.
Cutting edge LED technology is also used for the taillights, the high-level third brake light, the licence plate illumination, the rear direction indicators, the rear fog light and – on all-wheel-drive models – the rear light strip. LEDs provide better illumination and respond more quickly to driver input. In the event of sudden braking, the adaptive LED brake lights begin to pulsate. If the vehicle is braked to a halt, the hazard warning lights will switch on automatically, alerting following traffic more quickly to a critical situation.
The lighting system features an automatic switch-off and the 'Welcome Home' function. It's good to know what's around the next corner or on the way to your front door.
The Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) is available as an option.
Its dynamic cornering light function swivels the headlights towards the inside of a bend, based on steering angle and road speed, in order to illuminate more of the road at tight bends and turns. Put simply, the road ahead is illuminated the moment you enter a bend.
The system also offers speed-sensitive headlight range control. With adaptive light systems, it is possible for the maximum range of the dipped beams to be increased as a function of the speed of the vehicle. PDLS takes care of this automatically in two stages. Stage 1 is the basic position for driving in city traffic, for example. Stage 2 is designed for driving at faster speeds, such as on the motorway. Above 130 km/h, the range is adapted again.
Another feature of PDLS is the adverse weather function, activated whenever the rear fog light is switched on. It reduces the effect of reflection phenomena in poor visibility conditions to avoid the risk of the driver being dazzled.

The Truth About Putin and Medvedev
Putin. Itogi. Nezavisimyi Ekspertnyi Doklad (Putin: The Results: An Independent Expert Report)
As he prepares to step down from the Russian presidency in early May, Vladimir Putin has been boasting about his accomplishments. In a speech to the State Council on February 8, he talked of the stability that his government had established, thanks to which "people once more have confidence that life will continue to change for the better." A few days later, during the last of his long annual press conferences as president of the Russian Federation, Putin said: "I have worked like a galley slave throughout these eight years, morning till night, and I have given all I could to this work. I am happy with the results."
That Putin's hand-picked successor, Dmitry Medvedev, won the presidential election on March 2 with 70 percent of the vote doubtless boosted Putin's ego further, although, because of strict new election rules and the Kremlin's control of the press and television, there were no other serious competitors on the ballot. Medvedev announced before the election that he would make Putin his prime minister, and Putin immediately agreed to serve. Thus, when they went to the polls, Russians assumed that a vote for Medvedev would ensure that Putin stayed on as supreme leader, at least for some time. And this, according to opinion surveys, is what most of them want.1
As popular as President Putin is among Russians, largely because of Russia's economic growth, there are those who disagree strongly with positive assessments of his presidency. Among them are Boris Nemtsov and Vladimir Milov, authors of a short book titled Putin: The Results: An Independent Expert Report, published in Moscow just a few days before Putin's last press conference.2 Both Nemtsov and Milov are highly regarded liberal democrats with inside knowledge of the Kremlin. Nemtsov, who has a Ph.D. in physics and mathematics, was a popular governor of the Nizhny-Novgorod region before serving as a first deputy prime minister of Russia under Boris Yeltsin in 1997–1998. He was a co-founder of the liberal democratic Union of Right Forces (Soyuz Pravykh Sil, or SPS) and served as a member of the Russian parliament, the Duma, until his party lost its seats in the December 2003 elections. Nemtsov, now forty-nine, has since then continued to be an important member of the political opposition to President Putin. (He was arrested briefly in November 2007 for taking part in a protest rally in St. Petersburg.)
Nemtsov's thirty-five-year-old co-author, Milov, is a respected specialist in energy policy. As deputy minister of energy in 2002, he worked on designing market reforms within the Russian gas, electricity, and railway industries. But the government stalled on carrying out his reforms and he resigned in late 2002. Since then, Milov has headed the Institute for Energy Policy, an independent economic think tank in Moscow, while contributing frequently to the liberal Russian press. He was among those invited to the US embassy in Moscow in March to brief visiting Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice about the political situation in Russia.
In their concise and eloquent report, Nemtsov and Milov present a devastating picture of Putin's eight years in the Kremlin. Indeed, the report's appraisal of Putin and his administration is so damning that the Kremlin attempted, with considerable success, to block its distribution. Originally, the publisher, Novaya Gazeta (which produces the newspaper of the same name and had employed the murdered investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya), planned on a first printing of 100,000. But the distributor backed out at the last minute because of strong pressure from the Kremlin. This left Novaya Gazeta with only one place in the entire country to sell the book—its own kiosk on Moscow's Pushkin Square. As a result, only five thousand copies were printed, and by mid-March some two thousand had been sold.
When I met with Milov in his Moscow office last month, he told me that the report caused a "hysterical" reaction among the political leadership. He heard from a trusted government source, he said, that the report led to a series of urgent, high-level meetings both in the Kremlin and the FSB (the successor to the KGB). Lilia Shevtsova, a political analyst at Moscow's Carnegie Center, told me that the report was like a "bomb, which anywhere but in Russia would cause the country to collapse." Anatoly Chubais, formerly Yeltsin's leading economic strategist and now head of the Kremlin's electricity monopoly, was especially concerned, because he is a close friend of Nemtsov and a co-founder of the SPS (although he is no longer a member). Chubais worried that he would be ousted because of his association with Nemtsov and the SPS. After a long and reportedly heated discussion with Chubais, Nemtsov made the concession of "suspending" his membership in SPS, so the party (and Chubais) could distance themselves from the report.
I asked Milov if he was worried about the repercussions of the report, in view of what happened to Politkovskaya. He said with a laugh that if anything bad happened to him or Nemtsov, it would be a "huge advertisement" for the book and attract Russian readers, who know nothing about it.
It was predictable that Putin: The Results could not be widely circulated because it so strongly refutes Putin's version of what has happened to Russia since 2000. In his February 8 address, Putin asserted that his administration has had enormous success in bringing the people new prosperity and in tackling the problems inherited from the chaotic Yeltsin presidency. He also described conditions in Russia when he took office: Chechnya was a "regime of terror" planning to carry out aggression against Russia. Russian armed forces, demoralized and under-equipped, were not prepared for combat. The government was weak and ineffective, with little regard for the law. Agriculture was in a state of crisis. The economy was controlled by oligarchs and criminal organizations. Inflation was running at 36.5 percent, and unprecedented amounts of wages, pensions, and benefits were not being paid. In Putin's words, "Wealthy Russia had become a land of impoverished people."
Today, Putin says, the war in the North Caucasus is over and Chechnya has a full-fledged democracy. Russia's levels of social and economic development have been rising. Citizens can exercise their rights in full and courts enjoy real independence. Total investment in the Russian economy has increased sevenfold, with capital inflow in 2007 reaching $82.3 billion. Real incomes are 2.5 times what they were in 2000 and unemployment and poverty have declined. Also, according to Putin, Russia has a stable and effective political system.
Nemtsov and Milov acknowledge the economic successes that Putin and the Kremlin claim, including the 70 percent rise in Russia's GDP since Putin came to power. But they point out that oil prices, which were about $16 per barrel under Yeltsin, have risen sharply, averaging some $40 per barrel during Putin's presidency (and are now much higher). This, they argue, should have enabled the Kremlin to carry out much-needed reforms—in health care, education, transportation, the pension system, the army, etc. Instead: "As under Brezhnev, super-income from the export of oil and gas has to a large extent been frittered away and necessary reforms left undone."
As Nemtsov and Milov rightly stress, their country has "a level of corruption completely unprecedented in all of Russia's history." Indeed, the nongovernmental organization Transparency International ranked Russia in 143rd place (with first place being the least corrupt) in its 2007 worldwide country rating of degrees of corruption. Of course, the authors say, there was plenty of corruption under Yeltsin as well. But today the sums are much larger, measured in billions of dollars, and corrupt officials, who occupy high-level government positions, are protected from public exposure by the Kremlin's control of the law enforcement agencies and the mass media.
According to the report:
Assets are being removed from state ownership and handed over to the control of private people, property is being purchased with state money back from the oligarchs at stunning prices, a friends-of-Putin oil export monopoly is being created, and a Kremlin "black safe" [slush fund] is being funded. This is a brief outline of the criminal system of government that has taken shape under Putin.
As one example, the authors cite what they call the "Oscar-winner" in the transfer of Russian government assets to secret third parties—Gazprom, the state-controlled energy giant whose board chairman for the last six years has been the president designate, Dmitry Medvedev. During the past three years several key assets of Gazprom—its insurance subsidiary, Sogaz, its pension funds, and its mass media interests (the Gazprom-Media group has shares in two television stations)—have fallen into the hands of Rossiya Bank, which has its headquarters in St. Petersburg. Rossiya Bank's chairman, Yury Kovalchuk, happens to be an old and close friend of President Putin. And the bank acquired these valuable assets at bargain prices, buying Gazprom-Media Holdings in 2005 for only $166 million. In 2007—just two years later—Medvedev estimated that these holdings were worth $7.5 billion, or about forty-five times the sale price. "It would appear," the report observes, "that Gazprom gave its assets to friends of President Putin for a fraction of their real worth! Compared to this deal, the loans for shares auctions [the much-disparaged privatization of state enterprises under Yeltsin] look like exemplars of honesty and transparency."
Another highly dubious Kremlin transaction mentioned by Nemtsov and Milov was the purchase by Gazprom in 2005 of 75 percent of the shares of Sibneft, an oil company owned by Roman Abramovich, the Russian billionaire oligarch, Putin's close friend, who lives in London and owns the Chelsea Football Club. To purchase Sibneft the government paid an unnecessarily large sum—$13.7 billion—when it could have gotten the company for much less. (Abramovich acquired it in 1995 for only $100 million.) Why, the authors wonder, did Sibneft have to be nationalized at all? The company would have become much more efficient and profitable if it had remained in private hands.
Then there are the middlemen used by the Kremlin in selling its energy exports, such as the mysterious Swiss-based company RosUkrEnergo, which supplies Russian and Central Asian gas to Ukraine and Europe. The authors do not mention this, but one member of the board of directors of RosUkrEnergo is Konstantin Chuichenko, a close friend and former classmate of Medvedev who worked for three years for the KGB. Also, one of RosUkrEnergo's reported co-owners, Semyon Mogilevich, is a notorious international criminal who has been sought for several years by the FBI for racketeering and money-laundering. He was arrested in Moscow in early 2008, apparently because his open presence there was making Kremlin authorities uncomfortable.
Nemtsov and Milov acknowledge that because the Kremlin's financial records are kept secret, it is difficult to come up with concrete proof that Putin or Medvedev has been taking state money for himself. But whoever has gained financially from the Kremlin's energy transactions, it is clear, as the report shows, that the money has not been used to solve many of the most serious problems inherited from the Yeltsin era. While the number of Russian billionaires continues to rise, Russia today has an army that appears to be "straight out of the last century." The road system has deteriorated dramatically. According to the authors, "the system for financing road repairs and building has to all intents and purposes collapsed under Putin."
A poll conducted by the government-sponsored All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion and published on March 7, 2008, showed that 66 percent of those who voted for Medvedev expected that most of his presidential powers would shift to Putin as prime minister. A more independent poll organization, the Levada Center, released in February the results of a nationwide survey showing that 63 percent of Russians assumed that Medvedev would be controlled by Putin.↩

The IRS is making it easier for folks to file their taxes this year. Starting this week, the IRS can process returns that have the depreciation and amortization forms, and the education credits forms. Those forms affected the largest group of taxpayers who weren't able to file following the January 30th opening of the 2013 tax season. Our Meg Smith explains.
UNITED STATES -- April 15th is fast approaching, and IRS Spokesman Mark Hanson says now that fiscal cliff negotiations are finally over, most folks can now file their taxes.
Hanson says, "There were some late tax law changes that the IRS had to update computer systems to take into account. Most taxpayers were able to file by January 30th; however, there were some exceptions."
Both of those exceptions have now been cleared. The first was with the education credit form that's used by taxpayers who have higher education expenses.
Hanson says, "There is the lifetime learning credit and the American opportunity tax credit. Chances are if you're paying for college for yourself or a dependent, you might be eligible for one of these tax credits. It's a significant amount of savings that can help you pay for many of those higher education expenses."
The second exception was with the depreciation and amortization form, used primarily by small business owners.
Hanson says, "This is another group that faced an extended delay. Now you'll be able to file your federal income tax return and face the normal time table for getting your refund if you do one."
All taxpayers still facing delays will be able to file starting the first week in March.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to use their "free file" website, where you can use a program to prepare and e-file your federal income tax return, at no cost. That website is www.freefile.irs.gov .

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - The holiday season is nothing without its traditions, built on over decades of fun with friends and family. In the many stories and photos included in this ornamental mishmash, Grand Valley locals share favored items inspiring happy memories of Christmas with their loved ones.
As told by GJ local Garry Brewer, a Free Press history columnist: "We have, for the past forty years, placed on our tree an ornament for each member of our family with their name on it: grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, brothers, ex-spouses of our children (they gave us nice grandchildren). As the grandparents, parents and other members on both sides passed away, Barb and I have become the oldest members of our family. One of the oldest family member ornaments on the tree is for Barb's father, Adolph William Schmidt who was born in 1896 and served in World War One. He died on December 16, 1949, when Barb was just two years old. I like that he is on our tree because of the special girl he and his wife Vivian left for our family.As each new Christmas comes around the whole family comes out of the box to share Christmas with the a new generation of our family. It shows our heritage and demonstrates that we are a forever family and in our hearts and memories.The whole family past and present is there to share this special time with us."

Research Analyst Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Egon Zehnder in October 2011.
The interview process began with a phone interview of about 30 minutes in length, which was made up primarily of behavioral and informational questions. Next, I was notified by email that I was invited to interview in their office down town the following week. This interview was roughly 3 hours, and was the conglomeration of 2 1:1 interviews and a group interview, as well as a written skills test. The interviewers were all extremely kind and their personalities/enthusiasm were one of the deciding factors in my decision to accept their offer. I met with my supervisor, a leading consultant as well as two research associates that will work with me during my internship. Altogether, I had a very positive experience interviewing with EZI, and I expect that it was indicative of the time I am to spend there.

I applied for the job through LinkedIn and received a phone call a couple days later. The interview very professional exactly what you would think that someone who works for a leading executive search firm is like.
The interview lasted maybe 20 minutes and I was asked some basic questions about my experience and qualifications and a screening question about salary expectations. At the end of the discussion I was invited to a face-to-face interview at their offices.
I went to their offices for the interview and got a very positive impression of the firm, the employees and the culture.
The interview went well and the questions were directed at my experience, what I did in my previous job, how I went about completing projects, my working style, what kind of workplace did I prefer, and what did I expect to be doing in 5 years. There were several questions about my collaboration and teamwork experience as the company values collaboration extremely highly. The interview was professional and more like a conversation at some points.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2+ weeks – interviewed at Egon Zehnder.Interview Details
The process began with a call from a consultancy regarding an opening for "Data Executive" profile. Interview was scheduled and i reached their office on time. The recruiter there went through my resume and asked me some basic questions. She told me there was no opening for the profile I had come for but they could consider me for Research Analyst. It made me wonder what kind of firm does that! Yes I decided to go ahead and was handed over the sheets for the written test. Another test based on computer followed and I was told that I was done for the day. I received a call after the weekend telling me that I had cleared the initial rounds and was needed the next day to appear for further face-to-face interviews. I made myself available and was interviewed by HR head first and then the Research head. Subsequently I was told that I had cleared both the rounds and would soon receive the offer for joining. The catch is there was never a mention of salary or anything. I waited for 2 weeks during which i was repeatedly told over the phone that the paper work was stuck and would be sorted soon.

Elton John 2014 Tour Setlist
Individual concerts vary, of course, but here's the set list from Elton John's recent appearance at Madison Square Garden in December 2013.
About Elton John
One of the few Rock and Roll Hall of Famers to ever be knighted, Sir Elton Hercules John is one of the most successful musical artists in history. Since the early 1970s, the music of Elton John has been a part of our universal pop consciousness. John has more classics in his repertoire than some musicians have material, and Elton John tickets are some of the most highly desired concert tickets of all time. Elton John tickets always always sell out early. With a following as massive as his, the race is on to be among the first to secure those Elton John tickets and see the legendary pianist live in the flesh. The Elton John story is a tempestuous one, and this fact only serves to drive up the demand for Elton John tickets even further. Everyone wants a real, live glimpse of this artistic dynamo at work. Playing in the band Bluesology throughout the mid to late 1960s, his first international hits came in 1971 on his second album, a self-titled release, including "Your Song."
Early hits like "Crocodile Rock," "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," and "Saturday Night's Alright (for Fighting)" established Elton John as creative force to be reckoned with on both sides of the Atlantic. He went on to be one of the most successful recording artists of the seventies, with globally-successful singles including "Rocket Man," and, notably, "Candle In The Wind" (a song about Marilyn Monroe) and the equally well-known B-Side "Bennie And The Jets." His 1980s hits included "Nikita," "Sad Songs," and "I'm Still Standing," amongst others, most featuring his distinctive piano playing. In 1997, he updated the lyrics of "Candle In The Wind" for a special version mourning the death of Diana, Princess of Wales.
And the barrage continued with quality material in multiple genres resulting in Grammys, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a Tony for his albums, film and theatre work. He has done top-grossing soundtrack work for major films and starred in a few himself. In 1971, he wrote original songs for the movie Friends. In 1975, he appeared as the Pinball Wizard in the movie version of the rock opera Tommy. Then, in 1994, he (along with Tim Rice) wrote the songs for the Walt Disney animated film The Lion King (John and Rice subsequently won a Best Original Song Oscar for "Can You Feel The Love Tonight"). In 1999, he wrote the score for The Muse, and a year later composed songs for another animated film, Dreamworks' The Road To El Dorado. His most recent movie song was "The Heart Of Every Girl" (the end title song from 2003's Mona Lisa Smile). With this kind of versatility it's no wonder that fans flock to the box office for Elton John tickets. In addition to his musical endeavors, Elton John is a major proponent of LGBT rights and AIDS activism.
Elton continues to release new material to commercial success and tours extensively, despite being fitted with a pacemaker, and is returning to Vegas for a three-year run at Ceasars Palace! Starting in September, Elton John and his "Million Dollar Piano" will be holding court at The Colosseum. As one of modern music's true pioneers, and an Elton John ticket is a ticket into the world of a musical maestro. Find Elton John tickets today, and relish this opportunity to see him do his unique thing on stage before your eyes.

As winter temperatures fall, many people are helping wild birds stay warm by continuing to allow them to take dips in birdbaths.In addition to drinking, birds need a place to bathe when temperatures drop. Clean feathers help birds stay warm, and a birdbath with open water is often the only way for some birds to drink and stay clean when it's cold.Birds fluff up their feathers during the winter causing air pockets between the feathers and their skin. Their body temperature keeps the air pockets warm and thus the bird. Think of it as adding insulation. If their feathers are not clean, they cannot fluff their feathers.Many bird enthusiasts are using birdbath heaters in their plastic, metal or stone birdbaths to provide water. Some use birdbaths with built-in heaters.Most birdbath heaters shut off automatically when the temperature reaches approximately 40-50 F, or when it is out of the water. It is important to understand that as long as there is an opening in the water, the heater is doing its job. The birds only need an opening in the water to be able to drink or bathe; so the entire bath does not have to be thawed.
The Grand Valley Audubon Society (GVAS) is very active in this area. It has monthly meetings (except for the summer months). There is a guest speaker at all meetings talking on a variety of interesting birding and nature related topics.As you explore their website (www.audubongv.org) you'll find information about the field trips it offers, its educational outreach, the Nature Center and the Ela Sanctuary, and its efforts to promote conservation locally and nationally. The GVAS promotes "citizen science" and count on its many skilled observers to increase understanding and appreciation of local and migrant birds. As a chapter, it has taken particular interest in the Western Screech Owl (WESO) and has ranked numbers 1 and 2 in the nation in observations of WESO on the national Christmas Bird Count.The GVAS also provides talks to interested organizations, and has a very active education program for fourth graders throughout the valley. The results of the bird-banding research done by this program are used by the Rocky Mountain Birding Observatory for their studies. In addition, counts from the GVAS-sponsored bird counts are used locally and nationally by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.The education department of the GVAS will soon be leading weekly birding walks along the Audubon Trail starting by the Albertson's store on the Redlands. The walks will be Wednesday and some Saturday mornings.To find out more about the GVAS, go to its website. There you will find listings of monthly meetings and speakers, upcoming field trips, activities, contacts, membership information, and a number of good articles.The next monthly meeting of the GVAS will be 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 21, at the First Presbyterian Church, 3940 27 1/2 Road. According to the GVAS website, "Don Campbell, founder of the Chinle Cactus and Succulent Society, will speak on the Cactus of Southern Arizona. The program features various Sonoran Desert cactus habitats along with other attractions he and his wife Carol have visited, revisited and photographed over the past many years. Included are state and national parks and monuments, botanic gardens, arboretums, historic & cultural sites, museums...even a favorite Mexican restaurant." See the GVAS website for additional information about his talk. Local bird expert Larry Collins owns Wild Birds Unlimited, 2454 Hwy. 6&50, which caters to folks who want the best backyard birdfeeding experience possible. Email your birdfeeding and birding questions to firstname.lastname@example.com and he'll answer them in his bi-weekly Q&A column in the Free Press.

i bought these blinds to replace some cafe type curtains I had in my living room windows. We live on a street where everyone looks in the window as they walk by. The blinds give a cleaner look. They are noticed the minute anyone walks in with a positive statement to follow.
The blinds arrived very quickly and are of nice quality. We purchased Snow White. They were more of an off-white vs snow white but they went well anyway. We are pleased with our purchase.
Fairly easy to install, but I'm a shade off from pearl white to snow white. I took pearl white and lost. Since there's no way to use the color chart to wall, I was wrong.
I had white wooden shades from my old house but they were too large to fit the windows in my new house. SO not wanting to spend the extra dollars I opted for these & they look great. Good quality, nice trim at the top & easy to install.
Moved into a home and needed blinds for the front windows pretty quickly and inexpensively. These workedout very well. They were easy to install and only took 15 minutes. You need a good drill though to ensure that you don't crack any molding that you might be screwing into. Color was great and matched the rest of the decor. Mechanisms to open and close, raise and lower the blinds work as expected.
Love these blinds and love the build in valance that looks like crown molding. I'll keep ordering these until all my windows have them.
This is the 2nd time I bought these blinds. Bought a larger one for the double window in my office. Liked them so much I went ahead and bought 2 more for my living room windows. The measurements were very precise both times. Very happy about that!

I would get the 225 armor if you think it is completely useless look at the Effective health calculator. In one main tanking set in my opinion effective health(armor and stam) is the most important stats. Armor tends to be much more valuable against stam than the majority of people think.
Agility doesn't give as much armor as most people think and has relatively low avoidance compared to what you be getting in Titan weave.
