LOVE IT! I used to use Dior brow pencils, thinking that the pricier they are, the better it is. (I was in junior high and didn't know any better) But after almost a decade, I love my drug store brow pencils!
I use the midnight brown. I really like this pencil because it's easy to blend. I wouldn't recommend this as an eyeliner because the formula has a tendency to fade when I use it that way. I think it's because I have oily/combination skin. Anyway, when I use it for my eyeborws it stays in place all day...wierd, huh?.

I have been using this product for YEARS- I buy it in soft blonde, and use just a little to define my brows (they are so light!) The trick is finiding the right color- I found honey blonde made them look a tad orange, and soft blonde was right on. And for the price, I will keep buying- and buying- and buying- until I can afford the Kevyn Aucoin 1!
ever since ive started shading in my brows, ive been using this. i use to like this until ive discovered better brow pencils. the texture of this pencil is hard and doesnt go on too smooth. doesnt have much staying power either.
I really love these pencils- I own 3 colors: soft blonde for my eyebrows, honey brown and midnight black for eyeliner. I tend to look for bargains, and this is a great one- the brow one lasts all day, the others you have to reapply if you want definition 24-7. They last a long time too, if I don't sharpen every day :) I only gave it 4 lippies because I know there's better out there- lol it's just good for the buck!

Use this if you can absolutely afford nothing else. Limited blendability for sure and the color is not all that hot. My guess is this product is not truly designed for folks with sparse brows, but blessed with a full set (but for whatever reason would like a little darkening). Update: I have revisited this product since my budget is too tight for the higher ends. I should also note that my own brows have grown back so there is no need to almost create the whole brow. These are pretty good for adding depth and the color (midnight brown) is nice since I've colored my hair.
These are decent and cheap. I use the black for a liner and brown for my brows. If the black it too hard I hold it near my curling iron for a few seconds and that softens it up.
I use this as eyeliner, since I'm fair and don't wear dark browns/ black well. The browns come in nice warm shades, and they go on smooth and blend nicely. They do rub off a bit, but if I keep the point sharp and draw a fine line, it lasts all day. I like the little sharpener it comes with. Great inexpensive product.
I've been using this product since high school--about eight years now--and it's never yet let me down. :) It's dirt cheap and looks very natural and soft--which was the effect I really wanted. I use the light brown version even though I have dark grown hair and brows; I think the key to getting good color out of this pencil might be to apply it on top of a moisturizer. For some reason the oil in lotion or moisturizers really bring out the colors in this product, so I apply it on top of moisturizing sun lotions or just plain moisturizers every day. Its only flaw is that it smudges very easily--but then I don't rub my brows during the day, so that's never been a problem for me. In conclusion, this is an awesome staple to have in your purse--cheap and reliable.
Let me start off by saying that I've been trying for years to find a decent eyebrow pencil. I have fair skin but very dark brows, which are sparse due to overplucking. I think because my brows are so dark and noticeable I became obsessed with making them perfect and symmetrical. For the past few months I have been trying to grow them back in. I really want a natural look, and this pencil is helping me acheive it. I have tried brown pencils in the past but they usually look reddish against my dark brows. Black pencils always looked way too harsh. I have this pencil in Midnight Black, and I love that it is a harder pencil. This enables me to get a SOFT natural look instead of a harsh black line. I think the key to this pencil is technique. You have to have a soft touch, and use short strokes. I apply this to my sparse areas, set with a little powder, use a clear brow gel for any unruly hairs, and I am good to go!

During a conference call Friday with all 93 U.S. attorneys, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales apologized for the way his office carried out its apparently partisan firings. The move was seen by critics as an attempt at damage control amid calls for his resignation.
WASHINGTON - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales apologized to the nation's 93 U.S. attorneys in a conference call Friday as he tried to hold on to his job amid the scandal over the firings of eight federal prosecutors.
In another move to repair his credibility, Gonzales named a respected U.S. attorney from Virginia, Chuck Rosenberg, as his interim chief of staff to replace Kyle Sampson, who stepped down because of his involvement in the controversy.
But pressure for Gonzales' resignation continued to build.
In recent days, the Justice Department and the White House have been forced to defend the firings after internal e-mails revealed a coordinated effort to root out U.S. attorneys who'd fallen out of favor with the administration.

Kansas House Panel Approves Prairie Chicken Bill
Associated Press - April 1, 2014 7:10 pm
Governor Sam Brownback says a federal lawsuit by environmental groups over the lesser prairie chicken is an attempt to shut down agriculture and energy production in western Kansas.
A Kansas House committee has approved a bill declaring that the federal government has no authority to regulate prairie chickens or their habitat in the state.
The measure is a response to the federal government's listing last week of the lesser prairie chicken as a threatened species.
Members of the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee approved the bill on a voice vote Tuesday. Debate in the full House is expected later this week.
The committee jettisoned a section making it a felony for a federal employee to try to enforce any federal regulation, law or treaty on prairie chickens.
Instead, the bill would allow the Kansas attorney general to go to court to block action by federal employees.
The Senate approved the stronger version of the bill in February.

The rand declined for a second day, extending this year's worst drop among emerging-market currencies, before a report that may show inflation in South Africa was unchanged in January.
The currency of Africa's biggest economy slipped less than 0.1 percent to 8.8579 per dollar by 8:40 a.m. in Johannesburg, after appreciating 0.3 percent last week. Yields on benchmark 10.5 percent bonds due December 2026 were unchanged after dropping four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 7.30 percent on Feb. 15. Markets in the U.S. are closed for a public holiday today.
Consumer-price growth was probably unchanged at 5.7 percent in January from a month earlier, according to the median estimate of 17 economists in a Bloomberg survey. Predictions for the data, which will be released on Feb. 20, range from 5.4 percent to 5.9 percent. Statistics South Africa is using a new price basket for the index, which increases the weighting of energy costs. The central bank target range for inflation is 3 percent to 6 percent.
"We would be surprised by an acceleration in the January reading," Carmen Nel and Mamello Matikinca, analysts at Johannesburg-based Rand Merchant Bank, who estimate inflation eased to 5.5 percent, said in e-mailed comments. "If our forecast proves to be accurate, it will be bullish for local rates."

The Nintendo 64 or N64 was released in North America in 1996 and had so many amazing games such as "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time", ""Super Smash Bros.", and "Golden Eye 007".
A few months ago I found the second picture on Facebook (if anyone knows the source of this picture, please post it in the comments). I thought to myself, "I could make that.". This was around the same time that I was looking for Christmas gifts for my family. I feel bad that in my haste to get this finished I missed taking pictures of a few steps. I hope that with my documentation we can fill in the blanks.
Step 1: Supplies Needed
- 2 - 6x6x8 foot fence posts
- 32 - 3 inch grabber screws
- 1 - cheap 4 inch phillips screw driver (the handle will need to be cut short)
- Wood Glue
- 2 Cans Wood filler
- 2 Cans Spray Paint (each color)
- Primer
- Blue
- Green
- Red
- Yellow
Step 2: Cut and Plane Wood
Plane wood from the 5.5 inches down to only 5 inches.
Of the boards that are 19 3/4 inches long, cut 45 degree angles on the ends. These will be the diagonal connecting lines as part of the "N".
***This is the step I didn't take a pictures of***
Drill 32 holes in total (8 in each diagonal piece) deep enough for the screws to hold the N together.
Step 3: Assembly
Step 4: Fill Holes, Gaps and Sand
Sand everything smooth.
This table is great, I actually got the supplies to make the table, but I messed up when I was cutting the 45 degree angle because I don't know where to start cutting the angle,the instructions were unclear to me and I was just wondering where to make the angle. Please reply as soon as you can.
Will this help?
Ok...This is absolutely awesome! I love seeing things that bring you back to the days of. It makes me geek out a little bit seeing this. I love it! I can't wait to make one of these for myself. I'm going to be watching craigslist for a glass table top so I can make a base just like this! Thanks for posting!
OK... I'm not trying to be a pain in the butt here because you obviously built this thing and I assume there was a tape measure involved at some point so maybe I'm just doing it wrong.
I always build projects in Sketchup first just so I get a "perfect world" idea of measurements and such, and this thing don't jive. If you were to build whats essentially a cube with 5 X 5 X 17 3/4" legs, then the angled pieces could not be 19 3/4" long or they would not reach the floor from the top of the leg. In the perfect world of Sketchup, the angled pieces would have to be 20 3/32". I know we're only talking about less than 3/8", but that adds up quickly as you work across 4 faces. So by the time you go all the way round, you'll be off by an inch and a half = lopsided table.
I guess my point is... How much "adjusting" did you have to do, if any?
I like that this piece has gotten around. I made an instructable a couple years ago that I feel that your source picture was based on. The design has been simplified but the idea is still there. I am still using my table to this date and I am happy to see it has inspired others.
I'm guessing the author used pressure treated because that's what was available. I don't really see the need for pressure treated or cedar for this table unless you're putting it outside.
Nice, I'd recommend using a primer first so the wood pattern doesn't come through. I might actually make this myself, been wanting to since the n64 came out.
Awesome!, Could you explain what
- Plane wood from the 5.5 inches down to only 5 inches.
means more clearly? I don't really get what's being done to the posts.
6x6's are generally 5.5x5.5. The 6x6's that I used were pressure treated, so I wanted to plane them down so it no longer had the ugly marks. That's the only reason that I planed the wood other than to get it flat. In all reality, you can use whatever size of wood you'd like. I wanted to preserve the original ratio of the N64 logo which is why the resulting demotions are what they are. (I added a picture of what preasure treated lumber looks like)
Sorry, here is the picture.

2010 PR Predictions: The Year PR Learns To "Make a Profit" On Social Media
Due to popular demand, we're continuing our 2010 predictions series into the first week of the new year. Here's one from Roger M. Friedensen, APR, President & CEO, Forge Communications:
The biggest PR story of 2010 will be whether public relations firms can actually figure out how to understand, successfully sell and make a profit on emerging communication channels and strategies (i.e., real-time search, social media advances, etc.) as well as the rapid decline of traditional channels such as print and broadcast.
Quite frankly, with the economy moving forward with the speed of molasses in December, 2010 will likely be the year that separates the wheat from the chaff in our industry.

Cosmos is in the center of Athens, 55 yards from Metaxourgeio Metro Station. It offers air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi. The Acropolis area is just a 5 minute metro ride away.

Have the privilege of experiencing true Greek hospitality in our family-owned hotel, in operation since the 1960s, in the center of Syntagma.
Score from 306 reviews Very good
Novotel Athens is in the center of the city, within a 5-minute walk of the nearest Metro Station.
Score from 802 reviews Good
A short walk from the Acropolis, 5-star Royal Olympic Hotel is centrally located by the Temple of Olympion Zeus. The luxurious rooms overlook Zeus's Temple, or the swimming pool garden.
Score from 2073 reviews Very good
excellent view from the roof garden
right by tube station and tourist bus stop very clean but as air con didnt work had to have window open and got bitten for first time in my trip- also this made it noisy.or what i paid - which was last min deal Ok f .
air con didnt work the area around the hotel hotel bit shabby
location, breakfast, staff
lift too old, sometimes out off order
Good located to metro and gazi Nice rooftop Taxi between gazi and stanley should not exceed 4 euros. Otherwise mark the cab number and threaten to report to tourist police. This will help.
Sometimes they accomodate hundreds of children. They are allowed to do everything. So they are loud whitout border racing up and down crying around.
The location
The staff's choice to ignore my requirement as a solo traveller to stay in a quiet room without any nuisance from the uncarpetted floor above as the hotel was far from full! The kind of arrogance of the receptionist as she pretended not to understand why I moved to another hotel on the first evening in order to find serenity.
Stanley hotel was ok and located in the city center. You walk a few steps only to reach the metro station. It is clean and the bed is comfortable. You can see Acropolis from the roof but not as near as it appears in the pictures of the hotel
. The bathroom is very small. I do not recommend their lunch or dinner. I included dinner in my booking and it was not worth the money I paid. I could have eaten sth better outside
lift (elevator )
for 4 starts hotel the bathroom with curtains seems so old fashioned. even in pansions dont use that. Breakfast is overall. could be better. Rent a car service/recommendation from the hotel becomes very expensive. If u get rent a car from Sıxt or hertz or budget price is much more less than half. LOcation is not bad but the hotel is not located at the centre.. need 20 mnts walk to Plaka , Monastraki or Acropol.
I need a whole year to complete my complaint. Starting from the staff to the room nothing was pleasant.
Room was of a good size. Easy to access metro from hotel. Breakfast selection was good although the staff seemed to be very grumpy with each other. Although there were school parties and marathon runners staying during our visit any disturbance to us was very little.
location area not exactly inviting and very noisy with traffic. Possibly due to the time of year the roof garden area was enclosed which meant we had to suffer chain smokers if we wanted to sit in the bar and have a drink - shame as the weather was very warm and dry.
I really loved the location,the staff was very respectful and pleasant,the view is beautiful,smokers rooms,food was ok
Noisy,old everything,no roomservice menu in the room,no ashtreys in smoking rooms...
1. Location 2. Transportation 3. Service
1. Elevator have some problem when I check in 2. too much noise from other rooms 3. shower room facility hard to make the floor dry when taking the shower
Good location, you´re on the airport within an hour. Metro station is just beside the hotel. Rooms are quite comfortable, but a little bit rusty...
Whery poor wifi connection. Hotel should go to renovation. If you want quite room during the night, certainly it is not one. Quite noisy traffic during the whole day.
our bedroom had a excellent viewing Loved it! Would go back in to the same room!
Breakfast Location Metro station on the same block
Kind of loud, due to roundabout square right in front
Spacesious room.next to metro station.Fast wifi!!!
Poor breakfast..
Correct and helpful staff. Breakfast was good. Convenient with the tube just outside the hotel.
Internet unbearably slow if you didn't pay extra.
Next to metro station, easy access, great room and breakfast !
Extremely helpful staff, clean rooms, very good value and selection for the morning buffet. Metro station right outside the hotel.
Not impressed with the restaurants in the area, but access to restaurant centre only five minutes away by metro.
the hotel had the ammenities of a regular hotel and the staff were helpful
i asked for a non smoking room and it stank and the beds were terrible
One lift working for so many rooms, with a room on the seventh floor!!!we had to wait sometime 10 minutes to take the lift!!!
Extremely close to rail station, and easy to find. Staff very helpful and friendly. I heard them offer a very late checkout (2pm) to another guest without any hesitation at all. View from the roof is gorgeous! Hotel was very well-maintained, if out of date.
Building is very old, and could use refurbishment.
Good room very clean and staff very nice
Location was terrible with regards to local places to eat/drink ! No restaurants at all ! Area felt unsafe and we were told my a Greek man that the area in which we were staying was in his words 'unsavoury and unsafe'
- Located near the metro station; - Staff is nice and helpful; - The hall looks good.
- Rooms need renewals: furniture is cheap and ruined, not appropriate for a 4* hotel; - The door for the bathroom was WET, what the hell; - The bathroom was tiny and shower gels and shampoo were cheap; - 4* hotels shouldn't have moquette on the floor... terrible; - The bed was hard; - The televelision was bad. Some of the channels were on black and white; - Wi-Fi is slow if you don't pay for fast internet; - There wasn't a barista at the bar; - The walls looked like the 50'... - Not what you expect from a 4* hotel.
Good location just above the metro station and strong wifi
Front office service staff should be more approachable, friendlier and accomodating.
staff was helpful

Fair play, Acer support can be dire sometimes - but they turned the corner about 3 years ago. I have over 100 of their laptops - all on the 3 yr extended with acc damages. :o If I ever need to return one, its 2 phone calls - one to the support centre and the other to DHL. Its true, the do have procedures in place than mean they need certain info from you, but if your work with one of their major resellers - you can get a copy of what info they require and build that into your own procedures. ;)
This is what we do. Before any laptop is reported to them, we test the machine with one of their Diagnostic CDs which we got sent - and then the technician working on it completes a form with all the relevant info on it including all diagnostic info we have done. We include a copy of this in the box with the laptop when we send it off. The repair centre know we do this so the minute they call up our details - they know they will get all the info.
So long as you put a bit of work into your procedures - their support works really well (touch wood so far!!). :D

Kitware Participates in the National Cancer Informatics Program Open-Development Initiative
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Kitware announced today the successful completion of its participation in the National Cancer Informatics Program (NCIP) Open-Development Initiative. Dr. Luis Ibáñez and Dr. Brad King led Kitware's efforts on this initiative, which included advising Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc., on converting their many public source-code repositories from Subversion (SVN) to Git, and assisting in the transfer of the repositories to the GitHub hosting platform. Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc., formerly known as SAIC-Frederick, operates the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research on behalf of the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
As part of this effort, 156 repositories were converted to Git and transferred to GitHub with 135 of these repositories located on the NCIP's main website. The remaining repositories can be found on remote sites, including the eXtensible Imaging Platform (XIP). The repositories contain tools that aid in biomedical research activities such as genome sequence analysis, enterprise-wide bio-banking, integration of translational research, radiologic imaging, and clinical trials management.
Dr. King led Kitware in converting projects related to the NCIP's caTissue platform to Git. In total, this platform consists of approximately 20 repositories.
"We are pleased to have had this opportunity," Luis Ibáñez, a Technical Leader at Kitware, said. "The project unfolded in a very open, effective, and collaborative manner, with the Kitware team working shoulder to shoulder with Leidos Biomed's teams, as well as the developer communities of the many open source projects that were migrated."
The $77,629 used for the project was funded by NCI Contract No. HHSN261200800001E. To learn more about Kitware's expertise in creating open-source platforms, please contact email@example.com Source : Kitware Participates in the National Cancer Informatics Program Open-Development Initiative

Volvo's World First Plug-In Diesel Hybrid Received The Government's Plug-In Car Grant Approval
LONDON, March 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
The world's first diesel plug-in hybrid, the Volvo V60 D6 AWD, has received approval for the Government's Plug-In Car Grant (PICG) which is designed to offer incentives for buyers to choose new ultra-low carbon cars. In this scheme, buyers will receive a £5000 grant towards the purchase price of the vehicle, meaning it will be available with an on-the-road price of £43,775.
In order to qualify for the grant, the vehicle must fulfil a number of conditions, such as battery warranty, crash safety, battery safety and also CO 2 emissions. With quality, safety and the environment being strong brand values of the Volvo Cars Group, these were always on the project team's agenda.
Iain Howat, head of product and pricing at Volvo Car UK, said "The V60 Plug-in Hybrid has been a worldwide success with the initial run of 1000 cars sold out before the car reached the showrooms. Now that we have received the UK Government's plug-in grant I'm sure the world's first plug-in diesel hybrid will become even more attractive to UK customers wishing to purchase leading vehicle technology."The driver of the V60 Plug-in Hybrid is putting an end to compromise via three driving mode buttons on the dashboard: Pure, Hybrid and Power.
- In Pure mode the car is powered solely by its electric motor as much as possible. If the battery pack has been recharged with electricity from renewable sources, its range is up to 31 miles with no carbon dioxide emissions from the tailpipe. The electric range varies with terrain, climate and driving style.
- Hybrid is the standard setting whenever the car is started. The diesel engine and electric motor cooperate to ensure optimal balance between driving pleasure and environmental footprint. CO 2 emission (NEDC, mixed driving cycle for certification) is just 48g/km and it has a total range of up to 560 miles.
- In Power mode the technology is optimised to give the car the maximum possible power. The diesel engine and electric motor have a total power output of 215+70 horsepower and maximum torque of 440+200Nm. The electric motor's lightning-quick torque delivery contributes to the car's acceleration from 0 to 62mph in 6.1 seconds.

by James Slater - Reigning WBC super-middleweight king Carl Froch had a tough enough fight ahead of him simply by way of having to face Denmark's Mikkel Kessler, period. Now, however, with the April 24th fight taking place in Herning, Denmark, "The Cobra" is sure to face one heullva hostile crowd. Unbeaten Froch is well aware of this, though, and he says he is not overly concerned; so sure is he of victory.
The fight, the next step for both warriors in the fascinating "Super Six" tournament, was originally set for April 17th (the same night Lucian Bute defends his IBF 168-pound title against Edison Miranda, and middleweight king Kelly Pavlik is set to face Sergio Martinez; these two fights taking place in Canada, and the U.S, respectively).. Now, with the new date set, 32-year-old Froch and 30-year-old Kessler are getting ready for a war they both feel they will win.
Speaking to his local website, thisisnottingham.co.uk, Froch made it clear he and those fans of his who are in attendance in Herning will have a great night.
"There will be 10,000 in Herning and I know it will be a hostile place, but I have to make sure that I take a lot of my supporters with me," Froch said recently. "I just hope that not too many people have arranged to travel to the wrong place at the wrong time and I apologise for the confusion.
"I can guarantee that ever British fan that makes the journey will get value, because this will be a great fight and a great British victory."
Will it, though? Yes, Froch, as he proved when dramatically halting former "Super Six" entrant Jermain Taylor in the final round back in April of last year, can block out a hostile crowd when he has to - but Kessler is a different fighter to Taylor, and Herning, Denmark is a different place to Mashantucket, Connecticut.
Froch, 26-0(20) concedes how "The Viking Warrior" holds all the advantages, yet he still feels he will come home with a win - his belt and position in "Super Six" intact.
"He has all the advantages," Froch said. "He's at home, the crowd will be on his side and he knows defeat means the end of his Super Six dream. But I've proved I can go overseas to a fighter's backyard and pull off a big win."
Go back a few months ago, to November, and most fans and experts would have told you Kessler, 42-2(32) should enter the fight with Froch as a big favourite. But then, Andre Ward shocked the Dane, beating him by technical decision on Nov. 21st. Suddenly, seeing how battered he was in that fight, Kessler's chances against Froch were not as clear cut as they perhaps were before. But has the home advantage the former WBA, WBC 168-pound ruler gained evened out any advantage Froch may have picked up due to his rival's defeat?
To my mind, this hugely intriguing fight is a bang on 50-50 match-up. Froch doesn't know how to lose, and Kessler knows he cannot afford to. Add it all up, and the war both fighters are expecting is sure to take place in mid-ring. Who, aside from the two warriors themselves, is brave enough to make a prediction on this fight?!

The five day program, conducted at DERC's offices at the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI), provided a vehicle to bring together faculty of several institutions who have been, or will be, teaching business ethics at the university level. The program was offered to local college instructors and designed to assist in generating local capacity in the area of business ethics by developing a network of instructors within the UAE interested in developing and teaching corporate responsibility courses.
At the closing ceremony, Abdurrahman Al Mutaiwee, Director General of the DCCI, honoured participants for committing their time and energy to this course and urged them to maintain the momentum by focusing their learnings on improving and creating an international platform for higher education in the area of corporate responsibility. Before presenting certificates to participants of the class Mr. Al Mutaiwee said:
"The DCCI is delighted with the progress DERC has made with its multi-faceted Future Leader Program and in creating forums such as this to encourage the sharing of knowledge and expertise in achieving college-wide goals for covering business ethics. We at the Chamber continue to support DERC in working in partnership with academia to reach out to our future leaders to teach them of the importance of responsible business conduct."
Commenting on the success of this program Michael Megarry, Vice President External Affairs, Shell added: "Shell is delighted to be supporting DERC's efforts to help enhance the capacity of college instructors to design and deliver business ethics curricula. This is a real and practical example of when private and non governmental organisations can come together to move the ethics agenda forward."
The Teaching Business Ethics workshop addressed three central issues: How does a business school and its faculty go about developing a common understanding of the goals of teaching business ethics and addressing the challenge of relevancy? Does the incorporation of ethics into the business curriculum make a difference in the behaviour of students and business leaders? How can business ethics be taught so that effective learning takes place?
The course is a continuation of DERC's Future Leaders Program, which is designed to empower the new generation of business leaders to uphold ethical leadership principles. Aimed at developing a common understanding of the goals and objectives of teaching business ethics in the UAE, the training course explored the challenges of motivating and educating faculty regarding the nature and scope of business ethics, sharing new approaches and insights into effective methods for teaching organisational ethics. The workshop provided lecturers with the opportunity to practice experiential learning, to determine outcome assessments, examine best practices for foundational course work on the subject and to exchange ideas on how to incorporate ethics into the overall business curriculum.
The overall purpose of this workshop was to continue to build on DERC's work in facilitating a network of instructors in the UAE to develop and teach business ethics related courses. DERC's Future Leader Program sponsored a course on training managers in business ethics earlier this month, and delivered an on-line business ethics teaching platform for faculty in institutions of higher education in the UAE in 2005. DERC was established by the DCCI in 2004 in line with the Chamber's commitment to empower business organisations to improve performance by way of managing reputational risks and adhering to high standards of ethical conduct.

Memo to STV bosses – when someone is being interviewed in your studios for a live TV news programme, make sure someone isn't watching Channel 4's Shameless in the background. We only mention this because Scotland Tonight viewers got more than they bargained for while watching internet blogger Dan Hodges talking about Ed Miliband's Labour leadership. At exactly the same time a background monitor showed a topless woman having sex in a scene thought to be from the Channel 4 drama. No word on whether Shameless will return the favour and feature a scene from Scotland Tonight. Possibly not.

On & Off the Record -- answers to your questions
I hope this note finds each of you well. I've been receiving some questions about on the record and off the record interviews, so I thought I would post an answer to the whole group. Please keep your questions coming, I'm always here for you!
In your newsgathering pursuits there are three types of interviews or quotes a source can give you:
On-the-record – means that the source is authorizing you to use his or her name, description and identifying details and quote what he/she had to say fully in your article. (You may also paraphrase this kind of source while still giving them credit for the information.) Make sure the names of your on the record sources are always spelled correctly.
Off-the-record – means that a source will talk to you but you CANNOT use the sources name. You may use some general descriptive information to validate the source (i.e. says a woman, 31, who has worked in the streets for years.) the information that you've learned from this source but it should be verified by one other person or one document. In some instances however, there will not be any other source who can verify what someone is telling you, if it is a personal story. Remember to only grant anonymity to a source when you feel he or she has a valid reason. And most importantly, give your reader a brief reason why you have granted anonymity to a source. For example, .....who did not want to identify herself for fear of reprisal from her employer.
On Background – On background means that your entire conversation with a source CANNOT be used. You cannot use a sources name or the information that he or she gives you. You may take the information you learn from a "background" source and try to find it from other on the record sources.
Remember, your word and your honor are a big part of your career! If you promise someone anonymity or "background" status, you MUST honor it. You may only divulge the names of confidential sources to your editor and mentor, who are also obligated to protect your sources.
Thanks Cristi
Hello Cristi,
Thanks for the reminder. It is very helpful.

It's been more than a year since the Stones kilted up and hit the ice, so if you were a previous donor to our yearly fundraising efforts, you probably thought (or maybe hoped) you were finally rid of the yearly plea from me, but unfortunately I'm back to say that isn't the case.
While for the last 4 years we have made the trek back to Freddy Beach and participated in the Curl for Cancer event at the Fredericton Curling Club, this year we are sticking closer to home and participating in the "F#*K Cancer" event at the Richmond Curling Club. Why the change? The short answer is that the FCC isn't operating this year – that and it's getting tougher and tougher to get away for a weekend in the middle of hockey season. I will miss the road trip – that's for sure. Last year we even managed to get 'thrown out' of the Unibroue brewery (at 8 am) – apparently they don't do brewery tours there, but they don't lock their doors either…
In keeping with my lazy ways, sadly I didn't bother to write up a summary of last year's event – so once again, I'll give you the short version. The Stones of Stone managed to take the top team fundraiser award (over $5600 raised) – keeping our streak alive and extending it to 4 years. There was some curling that happened, and lots of Picaroons consumed. A good time was had by all.
We hope to continue our streak this year (albeit at a different event), and that is where you lovely people come in. The event is happening on April 5th, so we're less that 3 weeks away! No time to lose – if you can spare a few bucks then please consider donating to this worthy cause.
Thankfully, Dave has once again done up a promo video for us to help get the word out. Take a minute and check it out:

I know this sounds crazy, but has anyone made bread from the left over yeast from the primary fermenter? I am an avid bread baker and after racking a pils from the primary to the secondary, I looked at all that yeast in the bottom of the fermenter and thought "bread starter."
I have mixed a tablespoon of it with 1 cup of water and 3/4 cup of flour and it's bubbling away on my counter.
I was wondering if it's safe to consume since there is probably spent grains and hops mixed in with it.
That's not crazy at all! There was a thread on this topic not too long ago. I'll try and search for it and get back to you.
I'll make pizza dough quite frequently with yeast from the primary...
Yeah, I've done this a few times, and it works fine. In my limited experience the dough seems to take longer to rise than when I've used bakers' yeast or sourdough, but that might just be my own post-brewing impatience.

'You Haven't Seen Anything Yet' as Stocks Sink, Economies Falter
(Adds economic reports from today showing few signs of improvement.)
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- October has a history of being an especially cruel month for investors. And if the stock market's disastrous performance and volatility in the third quarter was a prelude, it may well be again.
Economists are divided on whether the U.S. economy is about to fall into a recession and drag the equity market and Americans' 401(k)'s down with it. That's a scary prospect because the benchmark S&P 500 Index is nearing a bear market, having declined almost 20% since late April. Other asset classes such as commodities, oil and real estate also have fallen.
Economists' latest prognostications will make your head spin, but they agree on one thing: A resolution of the Eurozone's sovereign debt crisis this month would go a long way toward getting the world's economy and stock markets back on track.On the optimistic side, Deutsche Bank (DB) said Tuesday that "we believe the U.S. will avoid another downturn because the U.S. corporate sector is extremely healthy, (with) profits per private worker at a record-high reading. "In the past, the U.S. economy has never entered a downturn when profits were so high and companies were so lean," Deutsche Bank said. "In fact, we do not see many of the imbalances, such as a bloated corporate sector, that typically precede a recession." Goldman Sachs (GS) analysts came out with a similar, but tempered, view on Friday, saying "our base-case forecast continues to be that the U.S. economy will avoid a recession, though the risks are high and rising." The firm's economic analyst Zach Pandl wrote that "an average-size economic shock would lead to a relatively shallow recession today. We see the main downside scenario as a shallow recession followed by a slow recovery." Ironically, the reason that it would be "shallow" is that things are so bad now, they don't have far to fall. "Low activity in cyclical sectors of the economy is likely a major positive: residential investment, vehicle sales and spending on business structures are extremely low, and therefore less vulnerable to steep declines," Pandl wrote. But on Tuesday, Goldman's London office cut its forecast for global growth in 2012, to 3.5% from 4.2%, and said it now expects the Eurozone to sink into a "mild" recession in the fourth quarter.

O.J. Simpson Weighs in on Sensationalist News Coverage
O.J. Simpson complains that celebrity news coverage is worse than ever, says Joe Strupp in Editor & Publisher. Working on a story about the AP reporter, Linda Deutsch, Strupp had called Simpson for a comment about her. He got an earful about the media in general.
Simpson deplores the media circus around Paris Hilton, et al, doesn't think he's newsworthy, but revealed this:
Simpson said he recently agreed to a rare interview with Marquez Productions of Orlando, Fla. for a documentary on media coverage because he wanted to discuss what he perceived as inaccuracies and sensationalism.

AMERICA/HONDURAS - "Vote to have transparent and honest politicians"; 51% of voters are women
Tegucigalpa (Agenzia Fides) – With regards to the general election in Honduras, scheduled for Sunday, November 24, the Catholic Church, through its Pastors have reiterated that the country needs "public servants who are faithful, transparent and honest" and urged the community to live a day of civil and democratic commitment through voting.
The note sent to Fides Agency reports that last Sunday, in the Cathedral of Tegucigalpa, the Vicar of the Cathedral, Father Carlos Rubio, said in his homily: "People do not want lazy politicians. Who does not govern with justice and righteousness, must give up immediately. "It is a service to the community, said the priest, who insisted that "the country's future is in the hands of God and of the voting population".
The priest asked the Hondurans not to be fooled by demagogues: "We must not allow lies to win in Honduras, not even liars, demagogues who have ruined politics, or the corrupt", he concluded .
There are 8 candidates in the presidential elections in Honduras, and the people who are over 18 years of age will have to vote to choose 128 Members of Congress and Representatives of municipalities. According to local sources, 5,355,112 Hondurans are entitled to vote. 755.112 of these are new voters and 1.2 million are young people between 18 and 25 years of age. The exciting news is that for the first time, women make up 51 percent of the electorate. (CE) (Agenzia Fides 19/11/2013)

New Brunswick to Celebrate Acadian Heritage with Maine & Quebec
NEW BRUNSWICK, Atlantic Canada, May 28, 2014 – For Francophiles in the U.S. and Francophones in New Brunswick and other Canadian provinces, the place to be this August will be an unspoiled area covering northwestern New Brunswick (Madawaska, Restigouche and Victoria), Aroostook in Maine and TĂ©miscouata in Quebec, where many of the Acadians settled after they were exiled from British-held Nova Scotia. From August 8 to 24, 2014, more than 600,000 of their descendants will return to the area, known as "Acadia of the Lands and Forest" for the World Acadian Congress (or Congrès Mondial Acadien, CMA), a huge international event held every five years as a salute to Acadian heritage.
This year's Congress will present a series of shows, concerts, fiddler jamborees, sports tournaments, art exhibitions, arts and crafts shows, theatrical performances, Acadian and French food tastings, community barbecues, parades, regattas, dances, campfires and storytelling, firework displays, historic re-enactments and conferences all showcasing Acadian culture and heritage. There will be activities for every age group including a Youth Rally, a Women's Summit, a seniors gathering and special themed days for children and scouts as well as for French Canada, France and Louisiana.
In addition, a moose-calling contest, a lumberjack competition, a 30-mile yard sale, a tractor pull and the world's biggest ploye, or buckwheat pancake 15 feet in diameter, will add to the fun. And no fewer than 120 family reunions are scheduled.
The climax of any Acadian celebration is the Tintamarre, hosted this year by Madawaska, Maine, in which thousands dressed in the red, white and blue Acadian colors play pots, pans and other noise-making instruments to display the vitality and unity of the Acadian people.
Highlights of CMA 2014 include:
August 8 – Opening Ceremonies in Edmundston, New Brunswick
August 13 – Children's Day
August 13-14 – Scouts and Guides Movement Day
August 15 – Acadian National Holiday and Tintamarre in Madawaska, Maine
August 16 – Experience Acadie
August 17 – International Francophone Day
August 18 – Louisiana Day
August 22 – France Day
August 24 – A New Beginning in Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac, Quebec
As a festive preview and salute, the Festival International de Louisiane in Lafayette, Louisiana featured a
Tintamarre on April 24 with two Acadian bands – Suroit, the oldest performing Acadian band and Radio Radio, the youngest and currently most popular one. They performed with renowned Cajun musician Zachary Richard who was the headliner at the CMA hosted by New Brunswick 20 years ago. Richard will be one of the star attractions at this year's "Acadie, Daughter of America" stage event on August 15, celebrating 400 years of Acadian presence in America.
Tragic History of the Acadians
Initially arriving from France around 1604, the Acadians settled in what is now present day Nova Scotia, naming it "Acadie," or paradise. From then until 1755, their history was marked by upheaval as they were treated as pawns in the many conflicts between the French and the English.
After the English conquest of Acadia, the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht allowed the Acadians to keep their lands. But over the next 40 years, the Acadians refused to pledge complete allegiance to England. Ultimately in 1755, the English sought to remove them from the area. During the "Uprooting, or "le Grand DĂ©rangement," more than 11,000 Acadians were deported to other English colonies as well as to England, France and the U.S. Some migrated to Louisiana eventually becoming known as Cajuns. Still other Acadians fled to Francophone colonies in Canada and arrived in the Madawaska area of New Brunswick in 1785
Today, in these more peaceful times, Acadia of the Lands and Forests will host this celebration of Acadian heritage
united by a shared history and by family.
For more information, go to www.CMA 2014 or call 1-506-737-2014 and for information about the province, go to New Brunswick Tourism or call 1-800-561-0123.

My husband and i bothed loved this motel when we went to cape cod back in 2009. It was very nice inside and out and the price was cheap around $62.00 a night we stayed 2 nights. The breakfast was nice and fresh along with the coffee and we had noone bothering or making alot of noise. We enjoyed everything and didnt have people at the door early in the morning like alot of other places. The only thing we were alittle upset about was the pool it was not cleaned entirely. My husband and i tried to clean it alittle for fun but it didnt make much of a difference so we just sat in the sun. But we enjoyed our stay and will be back this summer.

Have gone to the Cape every year for the last 5 and we have stayed in the Windrift on each occasion for the full 2 weeks. Never had any problems. Friendly staff, very helpful, no early morning knocks on the door for room service, just left to your own devices. Nothing fancy, you get what you pay for and on a budget it's great. See you next year!

Looking forward to a relaxing weekend, I arrived at Windrift Motel early to enjoy their continental breakfast, which includes, donuts, toast and coffee. Walking in to the breakfast room I saw the clerk preparing the breakfast counter. My stay was brief as soon as I saw him handling the donuts with his dirty hands.
Poor communication!Submitted by: Philip in 24/07/07

- Traveller type: Mature Couple
We are a newly engaged couple who made reservations to spend some relax time in Cape Cod for a couple of days at the Windrift Motel. We arrived at the Motel at 8:00am after an overnight drive from Montreal. The gentleman at the counter told us that our room would be ready at 12:00pm. I told him to call me on my mobile when the room was ready. At around 8:30pm, I received a phone call from an angry clerk at the Motel Windrift advising me that my room has been ready since 9:30am and that he was going to charge me for that period if I did not show up. Because of his poor communication and angry tone of voice, I went next-door and staying at a better Motel for 20$ more, and he ended up charging me for that day.

The staff was extremely friendly, and the price was just right for a summer weekend in Cape Cod.

Patent protection is territorial in nature. To obtain patent protection overseas, you can
i) either file individual applications in the countries concerned;
ii) or go through the Patent Co-operation Treaty (PCT), which facilitates the filing of International Applications.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For national security purposes, any person residing in Singapore is required to obtain written authorisation from the Registrar of Patents before he files or causes to be filed outside Singapore an application for a patent for an invention. Please click here for more information.
Patent Co-operation Treaty (PCT)
The PCT, administered by the International Bureau (IB) of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) based in Geneva, Switzerland, is an international treaty to facilitate the applicant in seeking patent protection for his invention in several countries simultaneously by filing an international application with a single office, in one language and a single set of forms and fees. It may be initiated by a resident or national of a PCT contracting country wanting to seek protection in other PCT Contracting States. To apply, an applicant would file an international application with the patent office in his home country or the IB. The filing of a PCT request constitutes the automatic designation of all Contracting States that are bound by the PCT on the international filing date.
You can access the list of PCT contracting countries, PCT Applicant's Guide and all the relevant forms here.
The PCT International Application Process
An applicant, who is a resident or national of Singapore, may file an international application under the PCT directly with the Registry of Patents in Singapore. We accept international applications in a type-written format or a printed-cum-digital format by using the PCT-SAFE software provided by WIPO. PCT-SAFE also provides a feature for the preparation of documents for electronic filing of PCT applications.
Please note that the Registry of Patents in Singapore is not ready to accept PCT applications filed electronically.
Filing an International Application in Singapore as a PCT Receiving Office
Here is a table of the PCT international application process:
International Phase
Applicant files PCT Application with competent PCT Receiving Office
Chapter I
International Filing Date accorded
International Search Report (ISR) & an International Preliminary Report on Patentability Chapter I (IPRP (I)) issued
Publication of International Application with ISR
