The RXR gamma (RXR, retinoid X receptor) gene was disrupted in the mouse. Homozygous mutant mice developed normally and were indistinguishable from their RXR gamma +/- or wild-type littermates with respect to growth, fertility, viability, and apparent behavior in the animal facility. Moreover, RXR alpha -/-/RXR gamma -/- and RXR beta -/-/RXR gamma -/- mutant phenotypes were indistinguishable from those of RXR alpha -/- and RXR beta -/- mutants, respectively. Strikingly, RXR alpha +/-/RXR beta -/-/RXR gamma -/- triple mutants were viable. Thus, it appears that RXR gamma does not exert any essential function that cannot be performed by RXR alpha or RXR beta, and one copy of RXR alpha is sufficient to perform most of the functions of the RXRs.

Aggie Football Wraps Up Third Week Of Spring Drills With Short Scrimmage
April 7, 2006 LOGAN, Utah - Utah State's football team wrapped up its third of four weeks of spring practice with a short 26-play scrimmage in front of a crowd, which included a number of former Aggies who have returned for Alumni weekend. The 26-play scrimmage was capped by the only scoring play of the afternoon as tight end Rob Myers pulled in an 11-yard pass from Bryan Black to cap a 65-yard drive on the final play of the day. Myers, a 6-4, 230-pound redshirt freshman from Houston, Texas, caught one of the five completions the Aggies recorded. "Myers, a year ago was a redshirt," said USU head coach Brent Guy. "He has really come on. He has had a great off-season. He did drop one, but he did catch the one in the endzone. We are excited about him because we think he is a tight end, who can stretch defenses vertically, especially when matched up with a linebacker. He is going to be real hard to cover." The Aggies attempted 10 passes on the day with Leon Jackson III starting the scrimmage. Jackson, last year's starter, hit just one of three attempts, a three-yard loss to Kevin Robinson. Jerrod Walker was the next quarterback to run the offense and he attempted just one pass, which fell incomplete. Black, a junior, who did not see action last year after playing in a limited role in 2004, was four of six for 26 yards and the score. Junior college transfer Marcus Cross was a bright spot for the Aggie offense as he rushed nine times for 59 yards behind a patch work offensive line, which includes just seven healthy linemen. Cross, who signed with the Aggies out of Garden City (Kan.) Junior College this past December, gained at least seven yards on four of his first five carries with an 11-yard burst on his second attempt. "I thought it was pretty obvious that Marcus Cross can help us in our offense," Guy said. "He has the ability to get out into space and make plays, get to the edge. He jumped out." Utah State will practice four times next week to wrap up spring drills. USU will hold another open short scrimmage on Friday, April 14 at 7:30 p.m. in its final workout.

Canton Palace: Best Budget Dim Sum Menu
Categories: Favorite Dishes
Photo by Christian Geymayr |
Pork & shrimp dumplings from Canton Palace |
Apart from its regular menu, Canton Palace serves killer dim sum. The menu is comprehensive and cheap. Unlike the over-hyped Tropical on Bird Road, Canton Palace delivers great small plates without draining your retirement fund. There is one set of prices for lunch until 3 p.m. and then each order gets hiked up a whopping $0.60.

Canton Palace employs Lazy Susan. |
The dim sum menu is varied and this is a great spot to hit for lunch. We also love it when food is both healthy and delicious, and this is a high-protein/low-carb option meal option. We have been known to order three or four orders and just chow down. Don't judge us.

5 of the Scariest Processed Foods
by Dana Angelo White in Grocery Shopping, March 9, 2012The supermarket can be a scary place. We've scanned store shelves for the most processed processed foods. Our list is growing – here are the top 5 for this week. The good news? In almost every case, you can make your own with REAL FOOD!
Canned Frosting
Mix up trans fats and corn syrup and you've got a tub of cake frosting. At more than 70 calories per tablespoon, it's not worth it for a variety of reasons.
Healthier Alternative: Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting
Powdered Drink Mixes
Sweetened with tons of sugar or artificial sweeteners and illuminated with a cocktail of potentially dangerous coloring agents, you (and your kids) should pass.
Healthier Alternative: Flavored water, iced tea and lemonade done right
Jarred Cheese
Festively called "queso" this jar is nothing but a sodium-laden mix of powdered milk, oil, preservatives and artificial colors.
Healthier Alternative: Chili-Cheese Dip
Canned Luncheon Meats
Canned animal parts thickened with potato starch and seasoned with nitrites isn't our idea of a smart protein choice.
Healthier Alternative: Learn how to choose the best deli meats
Chicken Nuggets
You don't even want to know what goes in to these uber-processed chicken bites. Even the ones made with breast meat are chock full of unhealthy oils and preservatives .
Healthy Alternative: Baked Chicken Tenders
Tell Us: What processed food are you suspicious of?

Burges to be come Early College High School
El Paso, TX (EPISD) — Freshman entering Burges High School this fall will have the opportunity to graduate with both a high school diploma and an associate's degree from El Paso Community College. TEA preliminarily approved Burges High School's application to be designated as an early college high school for the 2014-15 school year.
"I'm excited for our community and for what this opportunity will mean for our students," said Burges Principal Dr. Randall Woods. "This preliminary approval from TEA gives us a chance to engage our community and build something very special together."
The approval is pending completion of technical assistance activities in the spring and the submission of a final, signed memorandum of understanding with El Paso Community College.
As an early college high school, Burges will be able to offer students an opportunity to earn enough college credits to receive an associate's degree before graduating from high school. This opportunity is made possible through a partnership with EPCC and UTEP's Collaborative for Academic Excellence.
"El Paso Community College is excited to partner with El Paso Independent School District on what will be EPCC's seventh Early College High School, Burges High School," said EPCC President Dr. William Serrata. "This will be a Comprehensive Early College High School and will provide the challenge to scale the proven and innovative practices to a large high school. Over the coming months we, EPCC and EPISD, will work collaboratively with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to ensure that we are prepared to successfully launch Burges Early College High School for the Fall 2014 term."
As a comprehensive early college high school, Burges students will have the opportunity to take advantage of dual credit classes and continue to take part in traditional high school activities such as athletics and fine arts.

So... I wonder if Jax is still viable both in normal and ranked games? The reason i ask is because lately i've been trying to play him again, but all i do is failing. I dont know if Jax sucks or i do.
Statikk Shyv
Senior Member
He's viable, he just isn't Jax anymore.
jax sux imho played him ~30 games after rework but he is a bad joice
TG LindRiver
He's just another tanky dps these days.. Go atmogs and he's about the same as all the other tanky dpsers..
he's still good.
I really wanted him to be a great champ after rework but no, he is better for around 12 levels, but the old Jax was far, far better. This Jax is a big step down, and almost an entirely different champion, but still viable if you want a 2nd rate bruiser.
he is good in normals, a buddy of mine is owning with him pretty hard
ive played him alot both in jungle and lane, imo hes a subpar choice, theres simply no situation where hes better than the common picks. his main problem is squishyness, the passive removal killed him
well you're not an initiator with that jax. you mb can jump in 1v1, but not in the whole team^^ jump for the squishy ad or ap carry in teamfight and take him out, your dmg output should be high enough
irelia can do the same, while still having twice the tankyness, better sustain for laning and also AoE damage for tf

Guest blogging is time consuming, complex to manage and often requires a sizeable investment. So you need to squeeze more out of every link that you acquire.
Today I'll cover 6 ways to increase conversions from your guest blogging efforts to get more than just 'SEO value' out of a link.
If you can show conversions and demonstrate that guest blogging can align with the business goals of your company (rather than just an element of an SEO campaign) it might just open the eyes of your manager or client and help you to secure more budget and a wider scope.
Targeting is vital because failure to identify and develop a relationship with the blogs and websites your target market read will ultimately reduce (or eradicate) the impact of any of these other conversion tactics that you adopt.
In nearly every industry there are a plethora of opportunities to make a connection with bloggers, publishers and corporations where there is mutual benefit to be exploited. I covered just one example of this in a recent blog post which explored the potential of guest posting on corporate blogs.
A mailing list with 100 engaged subscribers is worth far more than a mailing list with 10,000 un-interested subscribers and when it comes to blog followers the principle is no different. I'll cover why this is the case in more detail shortly.
Advanced Tip – If you are in a B2B sector then you could try the following method:
This technique saves you the time and hassle of searching around for the right blogs. This method means you get a list of blogs that potential customers read, know and respect – perfect for pitching to since you can say with some degree of certainty that time invested in creating content for this site will be worthwhile.
If you take for example my guest post here on Unbounce, the site has high-traffic, it isn't really an SEO blog but it covers internet marketing as a larger topic area so the audience is relevant to my business.
I also write frequently for SEOmoz and if we break that opportunity down we can see that this has a large audience, this is a directly relevant audience to my business as we mainly work with other SEO agencies in addition to the direct clients who may be reading the SEOmoz blog to educate themselves.
Imagine becoming the SEO expert on a dental industry website read by dentists looking to market their practices. This 'business vertical' approach can be very rewarding for word of mouth business.
Don't dismiss opportunities which help to raise your industry profile, a conversion from guest blogging can be direct or indirect. Granted the indirect conversion is less easy to measure but if you can leverage an industry guest post for social proof, and it has SEO and branding benefits, by all means pursue it.
Even small but good quality blogs have an audience, don't forget about the "newbies". Everyone has to start somewhere, and if you write well for these blogs, it can lead to other opportunities and if nothing else help you to "be everywhere". Which might just improve conversion (because of familiarity with your brand) via your guest posts on the more established websites.
Once you have identified websites to guest post on – the next step is selecting the right topic. This can be tricky because you need something that:
You may have noticed that I am bridging two areas with this guest post, 'conversion' which sits close to the heart of Oli and the rest of the Unbounce team and 'guest blogging' which aligns with the current offerings of my business.
This may have been one of the reasons Oli agreed to let me publish, there is clear benefit in this for me and my business and hopefully you, the reader, to derive some value from the post.
This is key because high-conversion guest blogging is very much about tying the article back to what it is you are trying to promote without looking salesy in the process.
The topic you select will very much depend upon the type of website you are targeting. Some websites I have approached have a very strict content calendar where a time period will have a certain theme or you may be approaching a corporation who will only publish your post if you can tie it back to their products and services in some way or help them to achieve their marketing objectives.
The important thing is to be flexible and work with them to ensure you both get something out of it. This is very much a fusion of business development and link building.
Copyblogger and IncomeDiary.com are two very good examples of websites who produce content and tie it back to their business goal without taking away from the quality of content.
In the case of Copyblogger they deliver immense amounts of value in topics that surround their various product offerings. They have a much more structured approach to content marketing than IncomeDiary.com in the sense that their content calendar works up to the launch or sales push of a product and will mainly highlight a way to use their product (i.e. sales through education) rather than then just hitting readers with a promo.
IncomeDiary.com on the other hand wants to help its readers as well as earn money from them through affiliate commissions and sales of their product; for example this post which helps readers work through a very real problem (wanting to grow an email subscriber list) by providing a useful blog post and highlighting a combination of free services, their own product and a few they are an affiliate of.
So whilst these examples aren't directly about guest blogging, they serve as a good reminder of how to do content creation – the right way. This kind of mindset will help you work up a topic which is more effective all round.
A poorly devised guest post even on a high traffic website will likely flop – at least from a conversion perspective.
I'm not talking about 'bad content' in the sense that the piece contains spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and lacks readability. If you can't master these things (or pay someone who can) then you don't really have much hope of getting published on big name websites, let alone needing to worry about improving conversions.
If you are an advanced consultant in a particular business field for example then you need to make sure your content is equally advanced in nature. If it's not, you risk an inconsistency in message with a gap between what you say your business does and what others perceive your business to do (even if you actually do a great job – the reader doesn't know this). Additionally you will likely end up attracting the wrong kind of prospect since beginners naturally gravitate towards entry level content.
It's not a hard and fast rule but to give you an example; As a business we would steer clear of a guest post about 'Optimizing your business website for local search listings' as an article like that is likely to attract local business clients and as an agency we're not really geared towards those kinds of clients.
The example I just gave is an obvious one as there is a clear disconnect between our business goals and that topic/type of content. Frequently there is more of a subtle disconnect that you need to tune into and avoid if you want to maximise conversions.
Producing a post which centers around transparency leads to higher conversions. Again, this isn't a fundamental 'rule' but is based on my own experiences.
My 3 highest converting guest posts (in terms of business generated) are:
Here are the number of visits each one sent us over the previous 12 month period:
*I say approximately because this doesn't account for leads acquired indirectly as a result of the trust/social proof of getting published on these websites. It also doesn't account for people who discovered us via the guest post but converted at a later date perhaps just coming straight to the site via the address bar.
Obviously not all of these leads converted into new business but if you are a consulting type business like us, you don't need a huge number of leads to achieve revenue growth.
The one thing they all have in common is that they are underpinned by transparency. I provide an insight inside Skyrocket SEO with each blog post. People appreciate the fact that I could have kept all our juicy secrets and top tips to myself but I quickly realised that by sharing more not only did I actually help to further develop our own process and get fresh ways to work but we also gave prospective clients the reassurance that we are an open business.
The guest posts above are closely tied into our service offerings; guest blogging and infographic promotion. Given my experience with guest blogging on other topics, it has become evident through scrutiny that one of the key reasons these 3 in particular have proved successful is because they are so closely linked to our services and almost sell our offerings without overtly selling them.
In summary, your content should:
Take Action
- Carefully plan your next guest post and tie closely in to your marketing objectives
- Produce a guest post which gives the reader insight into at least one of your business processes
The way you structure your CTA, as with any call to action will depend on the type of conversion you are aiming for.
Most people go for a link at either the start or the end of an article. I personally favour including my CTA at the end as it provides a better quality lead as they read right to the end of your post and have generated some interest.
A link right at the start can be a little like asking someone to sleep with you on a first date, if you slowly develop the relationship throughout the article then you can hopefully entice them back to your place. I'll stop with the metaphor now! :-)
The SEO in you probably wants to secure a nice keyword rich anchor text link "at the top" because the first link counts but as the world has become more SEO-savvy (to a certain extent anyway!), a shoe-horned exact match keyword anchor text link that doesn't really fit contextually can destroy any credibility and rapport with the reader – or read like crap.
I'm not suggesting you can't include a keyword rich link per se but just make sure that it fits and feels natural to the reader.
Trying for too many conversions with one piece might just make the reader feel confused and less likely to convert at all. Generally one primary CTA is the best approach for ensuring a conversion.
No CTA is perfect.
Analyse performance and make adjustments accordingly.
Ultimately there's no set in stone rule for creating the best CTA for your guest post but personally I try to adhere to the following:
Your call to action ties in with your landing page…
Take Action
- Look at the CTAs your competitors are using to help develop yours
- Be experimental with your next guest post CTA and monitor the results
You can direct readers to do something which is beneficial to you but also really targeted towards the current 'mindset' of that visitor, having just finished reading your guest post.
It is particularly effective for subscription conversions for example as you can use the landing page as the final convincer for anyone that was interested enough to click through from your guest post but isn't sure whether you are just a one-hit wonder or genuinely worthy of paying attention to.
To help visualise the theory here, let's look at the AIDA model (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action)
This is a very basic funnel that the reader is likely to move through. If we consider for a moment the Interest and Desire stages which are the points where your landing page comes in, it is clear that your personalised landing page should serve to further the interest and create that desire to subscribe/follow etc.
Or the Interest/Desire.Action can all take place on the landing page.
A personalised landing page helps to create that seamless transition from someone else's website onto your own without the visitor/reader feeling like they are just being sold to.
To take the example of the personalised landing page I created for Raven Tools, I added some bonus content which extended the guest post I had written before going for the soft conversion.
If you are looking to convert prospects into leads or sales then I will usually divert visitors to the highest converting, most relevant landing page on our site.
In some cases that will be a blog post on the topic, in other cases that is the service page website which will likely contain other useful information beyond just sales copy.
When we analyses the performance of the Skyrocket SEO website, it became clear that nearly all of our leads came via a similar path:
Entry into website > Read Blog Post or Service Page > Read another Blog Post or Service Page > Submit Enquiry
I prefer to get them on a proven conversion path as soon as I can, rather than try to get them to fill out an enquiry form.
Take Action
- Compare referral traffic to the landing page you linked to in previous guest posts
- Experiment with your next guest post by adding a personalised landing page
Leveraging your guest posts correctly is perhaps where you can gain the most conversions.
Firstly the direct conversions can come as a result of second tier link building. In a nutshell, you should leverage a guest post which converted well for you and explore ways of pushing additional visitors through this post.
Acquiring links for SEO and traffic potential and pointing them towards your guest post might seem like an odd tactic, but very often the trust and credibility factors alone help to drive more conversions from visitors deriving from other sources provided they go through that authoritative guest post first.
Ross Hudgens wrote my favourite post on this topic
Another key way to make the most of your guest posts is to make sure ANY visitor arriving at your website or a sales prospect in real life is aware that you've been published on authoritative website X, Y and Z.
Social proof as a result of your 'published' status can be the difference between a lead conversion and a bounce.
Make the most of every guest post!
There is also potential for further conversions (indirectly) by leveraging the connection/relationship that results from the guest post.
If you view the guest post as the start of a partnership – particularly if you are guest posting on a corporate blog or your two businesses are in complimentary markets – there may well be opportunity for further collaborations. Think mutually beneficial (and legal) sharing of your email databases, webinars, whitepapers, eBooks or even events.
There does seem to be a misconception that writing a second guest post for a website is a waste of time (Editors note: I agree, this is total bs – you should continue to guest post wherever you find success).
Even if you are just thinking in link building terms, a fresh second guest post link is still valuable in your pursuit of conquering the search results. It also establishes you as an important authority in a new community that has fresh visitors all the time. Just don't waste your time writing for sites that don't drive acquisitions.
When it comes to high-conversion guest blogging, writing a second guest post or thoroughly updating your original post can be a really successful and worthwhile endeavour.
Their audience is hopefully growing all the time and it is plausible to say that their new audience members are at least similar to the ones who valued your original post and a second post or an updated one can gain the attention of new readers as well as solidifying your expert status amongst those who read your first guest post on the site.
Remember that you are unlikely to reach a blog's entire audience with one post, as an example my SEOmoz posts have performed progressively better as the community gets more familiar with me.
Take Action
Look at the guest posts you currently have published and:
- Rewrite any that are outdated
- Get back in touch with previous guest post publishers, keep the connection alive even just to see how they are doing
- Add social proof to your website and sales literature with the logos of places you have guest blogged

Good points made there James, i agree guest blogging is a time consuming link building method and that the blog should be used for more than just SEO, if additional traffic can be delivered all the better for the client.
Absolutely Paul – thanks for your comment :-)
A seriously good post, with plenty of great tips, I agree totally with the idea that you should write more guest posts for the same blog. I have written several for more than one blog and will consider to do so, it gets your name seen over and over again which is a good thing in my mind.
Great post. For those that find it hard to guest post on popular blogs you can go down to lower-ranked blogs to get the art of guest posting mastered. The secret though is to get your voice heard on a popular blog for two reasons: 1 for the high-quality backlinks to your blog driving it up the serps; and 2, if your post brings value you gain readers.
Same goes for comments. Most comment systems are nofollow these days but are still important for getting your expertise and message out.
Hi Ryan,
Without a doubt, guest blogging on smaller or less well-known websites is still worthwhile because these can be used as examples of your work and can help to get the word out about you and your company before pitching a more well-recognised blog.
Thanks for your comment Ryan!
Actually, I am really wondering will the owners of popular blogs really put a backlink to your page?
Yes, provided the content you are contributing is solid, relevant and the site you are asking to link to is worthwhile then you shouldn't experience too many problems.
Hi James,
Superb post!
I've been thinking about creating a separate landing page for guest posts – very neat idea.
You've offered some really great tips here!
Thanks Christine – happy to help :-)
James – thanks for sharing this great post
Guest blogging is really important. I like it especially due to possibility of building relationships with other bloggers.
SEO and traffic are only bonuses ;)

Hi James
I totally agree with your 5th point, surely the most important in your great guide.
There is absolutely no point in sending your (hard-earned) direct traffic from a guest article to your homepage, where there is just too much noise.
A targeted article = a targeted landing page.
I love your guest post. Awesome philosophy in terms of providing high value to the consumer (in the case of CopyBlogger and Income Diary) before pitching business.
This goes back to that age old adage of providing real value before asking customers for anything.
That level of content shows knowledge and garners authority which builds trust with the consumer, inevitably leading to higher conversions.

Awesome article, Guest post has a lot of benefits, and i can say we have 3 or more benefit as you mentioned above, which is Back-link, traffic and exposure which we require most to keep our blog healthy but it is required to submit a post to related blogs if you want maximum benefit of guest posting.
keep it up please :)

Get Your Health Insurer To Help You Quit Smoking
There's a high price tag for insurance companies when there's a smoker in the mix of an employer group.
Employers have a price associated with tobacco users as well. "A smoker can cost an employer anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500 per year," says Dr. Carmella Sebastian, senior medical director for Florida Blue, a Blue Cross and Blue Shield company. This cost includes, but is not limited to, increased health insurance premiums, smoking breaks, reduced productivity and days of work missed due to smoking-related health issues.
According to Sebastian, the average smoker will quit smoking seven times before he or she is successful, supporting the fact that counseling and medical intervention is often necessary. (Did you know: Smoker's genetics can make it tough to quit.)
Common sense suggests that an insurer would pay less for smoking cessation programs than for treatment for diseases linked to tobacco, such as cancer, heart disease, the lung disease COPD, and asthma. But that isn't how it always plays out.
Nine states require health insurance companies to cover tobacco-cessation claims: Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont.Fighting the good fight
Unfortunately, not everyone lives in one of these states. If you have set up housekeeping elsewhere, there are a few things you can do to get the help you need to stop smoking. Pick up the phone and call your insurance company. Although smoking cessation coverage may not be required in your state, your plan may cover it. Ask for the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) billing codes your doctor's office needs to use in order to get your claims paid. Speak with your physician's billing representative to ensure your claim is processed correctly. If your claim is denied, study the language in the Affordable Care Act to assist you with filing an appeal. According to a Smart Money article, health insurance companies will often back down if you fight back. Draft a well-written and researched appeal to make your case. The American Lung Association's report, Helping Smokers Quit, may give you the ammunition you need.. The association's tobacco cessation fact sheets may be helpful as well. While you are on a quest to convince your health insurance company to help you out, you could ask your employer to consider a companywide wellness program that includes smoking-cessation strategiesCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Real Madrid defender Pepe has hit out at Coach Jose Mourinho, claiming Iker Casillas 'deserves more respect'.
The Spain international has been a perennial substitute in the second half of the season, with the tactician admitting earlier this week that he would have signed Diego Lopez earlier if he had the chance.
But the Portuguese centre-back has criticised the boss for his stance.
"The gaffer's statements weren't appropriate. Iker is a legend, both at this club and in Spain," he told reporters.
"He needs to know that the fans and us are on his side.
"We're relaxed [about Mourinho's future]. The coach needs to sort it out with the club.
"We are playing for the shirt."

Fataway Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Fataway is a company that offers a number of different weight loss supplements that sell on websites that look more like infomercials than serious retail websites. We are immediately disappointed to find that the Fataway website provides very little information about the formula, clinical research or even customer testimonials for their products. We believe that all of this information is essential to consumers who are interested in making savvy decisions about their weight loss supplements. However, we will use the available information to determine to the best of our ability whether Fataway can come through on its promises of effective weight loss.
Fataway claims that while ephedra is no longer used in many weight loss supplements due to its ban by the FDA in the United States, a new ingredient is ready to step into its place. This substance is Cha de Bugre, a Brazilian plant that is supposedly a powerful appetite suppressant. We are a bit confused as to how an appetite suppressant can effectively replace a fat burner, since the two substances appear to provide much different benefits. However, we will look at the entire Fataway formula to determine precisely what weight loss benefits it might provide.
According to the Fataway website, the only active ingredient in this supplement is a high dose of Cha de Bugre. While this ingredient may provide some appetite suppression, we have serious doubts about whether it is the most potent ingredient on the weight loss market for this purpose. We would also like to see an effective fat burner like green tea added to the mix for better results. We don't know if Fataway contains any such ingredient.
Product Features
Fataway Cha de Bugre is available on the company website for about $42 for a one month supply. We find this price to be a bit high for a weight loss supplement, especially one that does not appear to include a proven fat burner. There is a 30 day guarantee on products, but only those that are unopened.
- Cha de Bugre may be a fairly effective appetite suppressant for some dieters.
- The company offers discounts for multiple purchases.
- Cha de Bugre may not be the most effective appetite suppressant available.
- The products does not appear to contain a proven fat burner.
- The money back guarantee is not available for opened packages.
- The company does not provide a complete ingredient list or clinical research.
There are many good weight loss supplements on the market today, and most combine a potent appetite suppressant with a proven fat burner for best results. Fataway only appears to offer the appetite suppression, which is just a part of the equation for effective weight loss. We encourage consumers to look for a more complete formula in their weight loss supplements to ensure the best value for their diet dollar.

Cincinnati, OH — The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by distillers dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking, brought a life-saving lesson to students at Mason High School today. Brandon Silveria, a young man who was involved in an alcohol-related crash at age 17 just before his high school prom, and his father, Tony, spoke to students about the importance of "making the right choice" about alcohol — and if students are under the age of 21 — the only responsible decision is not to drink.
The Foundation worked with the World Association of Alcohol Beverage Industries (WAABI) to bring the presentation to the Greater Cincinnati area. In addition to visiting Mason High School, tomorrow the Silverias will continue on to Lakota West High School and Wyoming High School.
"There were 492 alcohol-related traffic fatalities last year in Ohio, and 96 of these deaths were among youth under 21 (NHTSA 2004). One death is one too many," said Pam Beer of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. "Among youth under age eighteen, 257 were arrested for driving under the influence and 2,651 were arrested for liquor law violations in Ohio last year (UCR 2004). We must do more to educate our youth on the dangers of underage drinking. I'm pleased to work with WAABI to bring our life-saving message to Greater Cincinnati. During our visit, we hope to raise awareness about this serious problem, and by doing so, save lives in Ohio."
During the program, Silveria told students his wrenching story of how as a high school student he had everything a teenager could want — a job, girlfriend and plans for the future — until he had a few drinks at a party and chose to drive home. After falling asleep at the wheel, crossing the
centerline and crashing into a tree, Brandon was left in a coma for three months and spent several years in rehabilitation. Silveria was so badly injured that basic motor functions such as walking, talking and swallowing had to be re-learned. He has permanent brain injury and suffers from dangerous seizures. Brandon's presentations continue to receive standing ovations from students across the country.
"What you become depends on the choices that you make," said Brandon Silveria. "When I was seventeen, I had a job and a girlfriend. Because of my crash, I lost both of them. My hope is that by sharing my experiences with other young people, I can prevent others from being hurt or killed."
Through educational efforts such as the Silveria lecture and video program, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility educates students across the country about the hazards of underage drinking and driving. Since Brandon and his father Tony have become spokespeople for The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, they have addressed well over one million high school students nationwide and have been featured on such television programs as "Rescue 911," NBC's "Today," and "Leeza."
Dan Teague added, "As the President of the Tri State chapter of WAABI, it is my duty to do my part to educate our community about the dangers of underage drinking. The Brandon Silveria lecture program is excellent in that students walk into the auditorium, assuming their hour will be spent like any other assembly. It is amazing to see the students take in every word Brandon says; you can hear a pin drop when Brandon is at the podium. He is an amazing young man, and I am glad our organizations have partnered to bring his story to the greater Cincinnati area."

The 30-minute video, which won an award from the American Medical Association, is accompanied by supporting curriculum materials and can be used with large or small groups of teens.
Launched in 1991, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is funded by America's leading distillers. The Foundation's mission is to promote responsible decision-making regarding beverage alcohol and discourage all forms of irresponsible consumption through education, communications, research, law enforcement and other programs.

Under these acts the local authority has the power to ensure that all streets and properties are correctly named and numbered.
The guide will apply to:
New Address Registration is required for the registration of single properties wishing to retain the same number/name as it previously did, following reconstruction before or after demolition.
Many organisations including the Emergency Services and Royal Mail use this address data to locate specific properties. The data is also used by other organisations for the provision of certain services, such as credit checking, and insurance. Without the registration of a new or replacement property this can lead to problems with the provision of these services.
Therefore, the Council will only process new address requests that are submitted via the New Address Registration Form.
As from 6th October 2008 the Council introduced charging for Address Management. Please see the Schedule of Fees.
The new address registration process is unable to commence without the following:
Soft copy site location and site layout plans are preferred. A3 is the maximum acceptable size of plans.

How to Break Up With Someone Who Is Threatening Suicide
Is your boyfriend/girlfriend threatening to commit suicide when you tell him/her that you do not want to continue your relationship anymore? If so, this will hopefully help you end things without guilt to yourself or more damage to your soon-to-be ex.
1Understand that threatening suicide is usually - stress usually - a way of regaining control of a situation that has gotten out of hand for a person. If you are the one who wants to end the relationship, your boy/girlfriend has lost control and wants it back. Threatening to harm oneself can be a way of frightening you into compliance.Ad
2Assess how serious the threat really is. You know this person well - is s/he moody, depressed, prone to suicidal ideas in general? If not, it could still be serious. You can't simply dismiss the idea, but you also do not want to be taken in by a desperation move. Does s/he have a plan (is s/he saying, "I'm going to take pills." or "I'm going to shoot myself.")? Does s/he have the means to carry out this plan (does s/he have pills or a gun that you know of?)? If it seems like a random threat out of nowhere from a person not usually morose, despondent or depressed, there's a good chance that s/he is simply desperate to stop you from leaving, and wants to say something shocking enough to make you stay. Again - the stress here is that there is a good chance -- there is always that danger that this person may be deadly serious. Assuming that you believe there is little chance of an actual suicide attempt.
3Be direct and let him/her know you need to talk seriously. Don't beat around the bush by asking what kind of day s/he had or telling a cute story about your own day.
4Sit down and say that you are ending the relationship. If the threat is made, you can say, "That is not fair - you're trying to make me feel guilty and hold me hostage to your threats." (Avoid saying "I don't believe you." This can serve to "egg on" someone who wasn't actually that serious.) This can help to "turn the guilt around" and deflect it back on the person threatening.
5Leave and call 911 or the appropriate emergency services if you have any doubts about the lethal intention of the threat. Don't stay. Often, staying simply allows the situation to escalate, with the person making the threat becoming more and more hysterical and losing all control. This escalation can turn something not so serious into something deadly - the less self control a person has, the more likely s/he is to do something rash and stupid. If you leave, it puts an end to the drama right there. If you really are afraid that s/he may harm him/herself, call 911 and tell them what happened. Be clear about the threats made, and add details such as "she said she had a knife and I got scared, so I left," or "he said he planned to shoot himself. I think there actually may be a gun in that house."
6Let professionals deal with your ex. Threatening suicide is not always a deadly proposition - sometimes it really is just a ploy to get you to stay. Your fear that s/he will hurt him/herself makes you stick around and prolongs the breakup - or staves it off entirely. If this person really is serious, you are not equipped to deal with it - s/he needs professional help, and you need to get out of the way and allow someone who has the education and training to ride in to the rescue.
7Realize that it's not all about you. It's about the other person and the kind of trouble and trauma s/he has had in life. You can't save someone who is dead set on ending his/her life. And if you try to fool yourself into believing you can, you will kill your own life. Although each of us would like to believe that we have that sort of power, the truth is, we don't. You can't stay to save someone - because if you try to, then that person learns to threaten this every single time something goes wrong in life. It worked once, right? And with every threat, the danger really does become greater - because s/he has to up the ante to prove how real the threat is. So don't put yourself - or this person - in the position of going through this over and over. When you mean to end it, end it, regardless of the threats.Ad
We could really use your help!
school survival kits?
- Your heart is vulnerable do not allow it to pull you back into an unhealthy mutually destructive relationship.
- No matter how trivial you may believe the threat is, be sure to tell someone who knows your ex about it. Tell his/her friend, mom, brother, sister - say that you're sorry to have caused him/her pain, but that the relationship wasn't right for you, and that when you broke it off, s/he threatened to hurt him/herself. Let them know that you hope they will check on your ex and make sure s/he's okay. Then leave it alone.
- Watch for stalking behavior. Persons who threaten suicide can become obsessive, and when their threat fails to shock you into staying, their threats can shift from themselves to you. If you notice any sort of stalking type behaviors (s/he follows you to your place of work or school, and is there when you leave for the day; you see his/her car parked near your house at odd hours; s/he continually sends letters, emails, texts, calls, and will not stop) call the police and report it. If necessary, get a restraining order. Be sure you call each and every time you see him/her following you, so that you establish a pattern that the police can track.
- Don't accept texts or calls from your ex. There may be attempts to try to drag it out, get you to reconsider, etc. If you are simply not available, every day that goes by finds him/her a little stronger without you. If it truly is just a dramatic attempt to shock you into reconsidering the breakup, it will pass.

I took a high resolution photo (or you can use a scanner) and first opened up Adobe Photoshop to get the white areas (or white space) as clean as possible. If you have a color image, then make sure the image is greyscale [Image --> Mode --> Greyscale]. You can adjust the image to improve on sharpness and contrast [Image --> Adjust --> Brightness/Contrast --> Levels]. Cleaning up the image gets you an awesome trace in Illustrator. After I cleaned up the image a bit, I saved the file as a .tiff file, which is a lot easier because it saves without a background but you can save as a .jpeg as well. Also, you can just bring the .psd file into illustrator. After opening Adobe Illustrator, I clicked on the image to select it. Then, I clicked the small box to the right of the Live Trace button called Tracing Presets and Options and scroll down to Tracing Options.
- Click "Preview", which enables you to see the effects live as you change the settings.
- Click "Ignore White", which enables the setting that the white background is not present.
- Set the Mode: Select "Black and White". Leave Raster set to No Image and Vector se.t to Tracing Results, and check "Fills"
That is about it on how I create a digital illustration. Online there are various different methods on doing this.

Puerto Rico Violence Calls Into Question America's War on Drugs
Categories: Around the World
Michael E. Miller |
Six people were recently killed outside this public housing project |

- Puerto Rico's Wave of Drugs and Brazen Murders Reverberates to Miami
Those problems were apparent during a ride-along I took with Puerto Rican police. For hours, we cruised from one residencial, or public housing project, to another.
Drugs were everywhere. In one pitch-black field, our headlights lit up a ghostly scene of 20 crackheads passing around a few precious pipes. Nearby, two people sat on a stoop, openly heating up heroin in a spoon as cops rolled by.
The residenciales themselves were pocked with bullet holes from drug disputes. Lookouts shouted "agua" or "perro" when they spotted our unmarked cruiser.

Legalizing drugs wouldn't fix all of Puerto Rico's problems, but it might help in the long run. Criminalization simply empowers cartels, and occasional crackdowns on certain routes just pushes drugs and violence to new locales, like Puerto Rico.
Until the States and regional leaders figure out a more comprehensive approach, I'm afraid Puerto Rico will keep bleeding.

May Day for Thames cable car?
Passengers could be crossing the River Thames using the Emirates Air Line from May 1.
The Wharf has learned that's the date Transport for London has pencilled in for the opening of the £50million cable car between North Greenwich and the Royal Docks.
That means the 1.1km link, which was started last July, will be fully operational for the start of the Olympic Games in July, even though it has never been officially included in the Olympic travel plan. Both The O2 and Excel are hosting Olympic and Paralympic events.
However, Mayor of London Boris Johnson - who conceived the idea - would not be drawn on the date on a visit to Greenwich Peninsula this morning.
He said: "I'm not going to confirm that. All I can say is that I'm very excited by the progress. It's amazing to see it going up.
"Look at TfL's ability to deliver a project. When they are told to get on with something they can move. Nobody's counting their chickens but I can see one tower up, and the beginnings of a cable car station and that's pretty impressive."
Mr Johnson said negotiations were ongoing with the European Regional Development Fund over a possible £8million contribution towards the scheme. TfL has put up the funds to build it, despite Mr Johnson originally saying it would be entirely privately funded.
He has secured £36million of sponsorship from Emirates Air Lines over the next 10 years, but fare prices - which will also be used to recoup the costs - have not been revealed.
A TfL spokeswoman said: "It is scheduled for completion in the summer, which already represents an extremely short turnaround for what is a complex project.
"The final fare structure for the Emirates Air Line is still being finalised. Further information on fares is expected to be announced in spring 2012."
It will be permitted to operate between 7am-midnight on weekdays, 8am-midnight on Saturdays and 9am-11.30pm on Sundays, although actual operating hours will be set to reflect consumer demand.

Very exciting - do hope it's up and running in time for the Olympics. And even if not, it will give a great boost to attractions in East London (ie the real East London, not the City which sometimes gets portrayed as East London in the media!)

Stephens' decision wasn't binding on Krischer, who as a former defense attorney had represented police officers in cases involving excessive use of force. So as weeks turned into months after the inquest, a mood of skepticism spread. In late July, Krischer announced that he'd be sending the case to a grand jury the very same secretive process that the inquest was intended to replace, critics said. Krischer's primary stated reason was that Stephens had based her decision "in part on hearsay and other inadmissible testimony."
The grand jury chose not to indict Cogoni. The City of Delray fired him immediately an action that many thought was overdue but that only kindled more ill will.
"I think it was a fulfillment of the expectations cynical expectations of the black community," King says of the grand jury outcome, laughing ruefully. "They thought, there is no justice served, it's just another of the same old, same old tactics for the white man to be in power. The people in the justice system were going to protect their own."
Even Mayor Perlman is nonplussed. "I think there was a lack of leadership from the State Attorney's Office on this issue," he says. "Why do an inquest? I just didn't understand why it played out the way it did."
For some blacks in Delray, the answer is apparent.
"There's no way that Barry Krischer, while he's state attorney, would make a police officer go to jail for killing a black man," black activist Potts asserts. "He never has in the past; he never will in the future. He took the political way out with the grand jury."
Miller, a devout Christian woman, says she's tried to give Cogoni the benefit of the doubt. "I thought, maybe he panicked. He's a rookie, so he's not used to handling these kinds of situations. Perhaps the first thing that came to his mind was, 'If I let this get away, they're going to think that I can't handle my job.' But then when I heard his testimony, it wasn't about that he could handle his job; it was to show that he could shoot straight."
From her home that still aches over a missing brother and grandson, Miller shows the same steely resolve she displayed at the rally. "When I speak, I'm not just speaking for Jerrod," she declares. "I feel for the ones who've already been killed, for those who are leaving the house and we don't know what's going to happen to them."

Our Impact
Center for Civilians in Conflict makes concrete progress in conflict zones through our research, advocacy, and policy work. We measure success in the short-term by the improved wellbeing of civilians caught in a conflict and we see shifts in how warring parties conduct themselves, with greater attention focused on minimizing civilian harm.
In the long term, Center for Civilians in Conflict is changing mindsets. High-level officials have begun using our words to describe the need for civilian protection in armed conflict. The United Nations is including our specific recommendations into force mandates, resolutions, and high-level reports, where they would not otherwise have been without our advocacy. Colleague human rights and humanitarian organizations have adopted our key concepts for minimizing civilian harm and continually request our collaboration.
Brief highlights of our work include:
Our research in Afghanistan and advocacy in Brussels directly led to NATO approving its first compensation policy for Afghan war victims.
- In Afghanistan, we created an extensive framework for tracking civilian harm for Afghan forces and conducted trainings for over 20,000 international and Afghan forces on how to respond to civilian casualties. The Karzai government has already implemented some of our recommendations, including an office dedicated to assessing civilian harm.
- We worked with the United States Congress to develop the first assistance programs for civilians harmed by combat operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. In Iraq, the program is named in honor of our founder. To date, we helped secure more than $200 million for these programs.
- We co-authored with Maj Gen. Roger Lane a civilian protection policy for African Union forces in Somalia (AMISOM), after which the rate of civilian casualties dropped. With the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, we documented civilian losses in Somalia and published the first report on the topic. Over two years, we developed a civilian casualty tracking cell for African forces—the first for an African force and only the second in the world.
- In Pakistan, we worked with local civil society to draft a groundbreaking law to enhance victims assistance programs in each of the country's provinces. It is already in effect in Balochistan and efforts are underway to get approval in other provinces.
- In Syria, our field missions are producing groundbreaking analysis on the armed opposition's civilian protection efforts and the expectations of civilians suffering losses. With senior military and legal experts, we extensively analyze five military intervention options for Syria through a civilian protection lens. Both analyses were lauded by policymakers in the UN, US, NATO, EU, and ICRC, as they make decisions about taking action and of what sort.
- We produced the first in-depth analysis of the civilian protection limitations of weaponized drones in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia. Our calls for greater transparency, for operations to shift from the CIA to the Department of Defense (now under consideration by the Obama Administration), and for amends for civilian losses (a concept recently noted by CIA director John Brennan) are featured in Wired, The Christian Science Monitor, CNN, NPR, and BBC, among others. The Center served on the Council on Foreign Relation's drone advisory board.
- In Libya, we documented civilian harm on the ground within days of the start of the conflict, including for a New York Times cover story showing the world the tragedy of civilian casualties. We advised NATO on civilian harm mitigation best practices, and extensively assessed abandoned ordnance with Harvard Law School, leading to pledges from both the US and Libyan governments to do more to secure left over weapons.
- Our recommendations to the United Nations on minimizing harm to civilians have been noted in two Security Council resolutions on Somalia in 2012 and 2013. Our recommendation that peacekeeping forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo mitigate civilian harm was adopted by the Security Council—a first for a peacekeeping mandate.
- We are working with American military officers at bases across the country on new civilian protection and harm response doctrine, including writing a chapter for the first Army handbook on this topic. US forces have significantly shifted the way they understand and apply civilian harm mitigation principles, and we remain proud of our contribution over seven years.
