As part of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) and the reauthorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA V), there will soon be a mandate for the use of electronic submissions, specifically the electronic common technical document (eCTD) in the US. There already exists a mandate in Europe for marketing applications that are eligible for Centralized Procedure review. Electronic submissions are accepted globally in various formats and there are well established standards being used for their creation.This course will focus on the technical foundations of electronic submissions and their use as well as the practicalities and processes of creating them. The use of technology and the specifications needed for various types of submissions will be presented along with common issues and challenges. The US requirement for the submission of datasets will also be addressed.
Examples of how standards can be employed to generate and track applications will be discussed, and activities on locating current guidance and submission metadata will all be part of this interactive course.
Course Level: BeginnerKey Topics: eSub/eCTD Guidance, vocabulary and terminology, document and data standards, mapping from regulation to submission
This course will bring professionals with no experience up to date on all aspects of electronic submission and will address US specific requirements as well as the status in the rest of the world and the future of eCTD. The course is technology and vendor neutral and will employ hands on use of basic software and internet use only. This offering will be taught by an industry expert in regulatory affairs and electronic submissions and who specializes in training and education.
This training course is designed for professionals working in regulatory operations and regulatory affairs, as well as for project managers, medical/technical writers, quality assurance and IT. This course content would also benefit professionals working in drug development and marketing authorization.

- "GTA IV is a game with a compelling and nonlinear storyline, a game with a great protagonist who you can't help but like, and a game that boasts a plethora of online multiplayer features in addition to its lengthy story mode. It's not without some flaws, but GTA IV is undoubtedly the best Grand Theft Auto yet."
- ―Justin Calvert, Gamespot executive editor [1]

Grand Theft Auto IV is the eleventh title in the Grand Theft Auto series. The game was developed by Rockstar North and was published and released by Rockstar Games for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions were released worldwide to widespread hype on April 29, 2008. GTA IV was subsequently been awarded the Gaming World Record of the Most Successful Entertainment Launch of All Time, and has received numerous other awards and accolades, the original version made even more success than its expansions. The PC version was released on December 3, 2008.
The very first dialogue by Niko in the very first trailer for the game sets up the first notable protagonist to be from another country, Niko Bellic, to enter the United States of America and make more critical analysis of American culture than previous main characters have done. Grand Theft Auto IV's deeper meaning circulates around Niko's own philosophy, and his clear, blunt critiques of American culture and life in general make the deeper ideas much easier to see and understand. Niko is normally shown to be in the right, but is also proven to be overly cynical, leaving interpretation open to the viewer. The game and its very complex plot deals with several themes:
As read on the packaging of the game, Rockstar Games asks "what does the American dream mean today?". Niko is cynical about America, saying "capitalism is a dirty business" and only people who are extremely greedy and/or born into wealth have any opportunity. Mikhail Faustin also laments before he dies that "America made him (Dimitri Rascalov) greedy! ...This American greed takes everyone! It is like a disease!". Niko mocks American stereotypes like "strip malls and clinical obesity" (as do the makers of the game by hilariously parodying concepts like post-9/11 hysteria and celebrity obsession). On the flip-side Roman Bellic, as well as other characters (Brucie Kibbutz, Bernie Crane, Ivan Bytchkov and Hossan Ramzy among others) are optimistic about America and life in general, tend to do very well for themselves financially, and try in vain to encourage Niko to be more optimistic.
The American dream is also shown not to be promised to anyone, not even when they already live in America. Social circles all the way from Playboy X and Elizabeta Torres to Patrick McReary all have trouble making and responsibly saving money, not restricting it to any one nationality. Early on, The Beat 102.7 explains that their listeners "don't know how to manage their money yet!". Gerry describes his family's spending habits as "Never any fucking focus! Never! ...Oh yeah, wine and women as quick as possible, and remain a slave forever". Packie eventually says after a mission "Well, Niko, that was a whole lot of effort for no fucking reward. Story of my life." to which Niko replies "It is the story of a lot of lives, Packie. I'm getting used to hearing it". A very interesting part of the in-game media is a show called I'm Rich, which documents the most outrageous displays of gluttony by the world's wealthiest people, enough to make anyone feel inadequate.
Grand Theft Auto IV has an extremely complex plot with a very long list of characters. It is also the first game that allows the player to change the plot by making choices, which all have consequences. This creates an atmosphere where Niko is haunted and shadowed by his past actions wherever he goes. He tells Roman "There is no such thing as a new beginning, Roman. With every day we live, we pick up new baggage, baggage we must carry with us for the rest of our lives. There's no dropping it and pretending we are fresh and clean, just because we get off a boat in a new place." Prime examples include his numerous run-ins with Ray Bulgarin, most of the random characters, and working alongside Johnny Klebitz or Patrick McReary while he had, either by not having met them yet or circumstances beyond his control, killed someone close to them. In the finale, Niko feels the coffin of Kate or Roman, depending on the player's choice, on his conscience because of his criminal lifestyle, saying they "never should have gotten close to me". He is deeply depressed about being trapped in the criminal lifestyle (by a need of income), telling Kate McReary and others that he wishes he could leave it behind, but often adds that he knows he can't.
Main Characters:
- Niko Bellic: The playable protagonist, through whose eyes the player sees the world of the game. He is morally upstanding and logical despite his criminal life, but is often shown to have authority issues. He is also more cynical and pessimistic than is good for him. He seems to sort people into three categories:
- Roman, Little Jacob, Brucie Kibbutz, Kate McReary and Bernie Crane: The optimists, people Niko likes because of their positivity, and they all try in vain to encourage Niko to be more optimistic. Many are foolish and could be mistaken for comic relief, but they do offer pearls of wisdom about life and success, a realization that Niko must make at the same time. Other interesting cases are Ivan Bytchkov, and Hossan, both immigrants like Niko but with much more confidence in the American way of life.
- Patrick McReary, Gerald McReary, Derrick McReary, Dwayne Forge and Phil Bell: The pessimists, people Niko likes because they have angst that he instinctively responds to. Packie and Dwayne especially become friends of Niko because of their shared struggle; Niko confides in Dwayne remarkably early in their relationship "you remind me of me". It's also notable that he relates well to Jon Gravelli and his bleak sense of humor, despite an enormous age gap, other lifestyle differences and Niko's traditional dislike of his bosses.
- Vlad Glebov, Dimitri Rascalov, Mikhail Faustin, Ray Bulgarin, Francis McReary, United Liberty Paper, Manny Ecsuela, Elizabeta Torres, Playboy X, Ray Boccino and Jimmy Pegorino: The corrupt, people Niko doesn't like (or forced to take orders of them) because of their greed or immorality. He had to take orders from all of them, considers killing most of them at least once, and inevitably kills about one third of them. This, combined with his dislike of capitalism, shows that Niko has authority issues and can't stand corrupt people in power. With the exception of United Liberty Paper, Elizabeta (who ends up in jail) and only if spared Playboy X and Francis McReary, all of the corrupt end up dead
- Mallorie Bardas, Karen, Jon Gravelli, Darko Brevic, Bryce Dawkins; other characters in the game.
- Michelle, Kate McReary, Carmen Ortiz, Kiki Jenkins and Alex Chilton; girlfriends Niko can date. Michelle and Kate are unlocked in the story mode; the other 3 must be met by the internet. Each girlfriend has their own opinions on what they would like Niko to drive in, wear and go to. The 3 online girlfriends can give Niko a special ability once he pleases them enough in quality and quantity of date.
Two episodes have been released for Grand Theft Auto IV for the Xbox 360, and then released for Playstation 3 and PC in April 2010. The Lost and Damned was released on February 17, 2009, and features biker Johnny Klebitz as the player character. The Ballad of Gay Tony was been released on October 29, 2009, with Luis Fernando Lopez as the protagonist. It was simultaneously released with the disc version of Episodes from Liberty City, which features both games. These episodes are set in the same city and time as GTA IV, and have many overlapping storylines, characters, and missions. They add new missions, characters, vehicles, weapons, and other gameplay features.
There was much controversy over Grand Theft Auto IV, however, the series has experienced trouble throughout its whole time on the shelves. Before it was released, it was almost banned. MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) noted the drunk driving feature and requested it either not released or rated AO. Because of this, Niko says "I'm not sure I should be doing this," whenever he is drunk driving but strangely this is something he never would say if he were to murder an NPC or commit a crime other than drunk driving.

I'd like to qualify this. It is not just the sovereign's monopoly of power that has eased people back from hair-trigger violence. It is also the due process of law. The lawman is less frightening (and therefore less desperately to be resisted) than the lynch-mob and avenging relatives because we are reasonably confident that we will get a chance to prove our innocence and clear up any mistakes of identity.
Habeas corpus and the public impartial trial are the foundation not only of justice and liberty but also of peace.

Eyelid drooping is excessive sagging of the upper eyelid.
See also: Drooping eyelid disease
A drooping eyelid can stay constant, worsen over time (progressive), or come and go (intermittent). It can be one-sided or on both sides. When drooping is one-sided (unilateral), it is easy to detect by comparing the two eyelids. Drooping is more difficult to detect when it occurs on both sides, or if there is only a slight problem.
A furrowed forehead or a chin-up head position may indicate that someone is trying to see under their drooping lids. Eyelid drooping can make someone appear sleepy or tired.
Drooping lids are either present at birth (congenital) or develop later in life. A drooping eyelid is not a reason to panic, but you should report it to your doctor.
Both eyelids drooping:
One eyelid drooping:
Below is a list of recommendations based on the various causes of eye drooping:
For all other causes -- follow your health care provider's recommendations.
Contact your health care provider if:
Your health care provider will get a medical history and perform a physical examination.
Medical history questions may include:
The physical examination may include a detailed assessment of nerve functioning.
Diagnostic tests that may be performed include:
Surgery may be necessary to correct problems with the muscles that open the eyelid (levator muscle dysfunction).
You may get special spectacle frames that suspend the eyelid by traction with a wire. Usually these frames help patients with temporary, partial paralysis, or those who are not good candidates for surgery.
After seeing your health care provider:
You may want to add a diagnosis related to eyelid drooping to your personal medical record.

My dream is to visit Newfoundland, as I simply fell in love with the southern island penisula called *Avalon*. There is such a calming serenity to Newfoundland in general, but this particular part of the Province held the most ideal escape for a brilliant holiday. There is something to be said for being hugged close to the ocean and alighting in a place where everyone does not tend to tread. I love the history and the culture of the people as well. I am drawn to visit and those tend to be the places you feel the most inspired to have gone afterwards.
Highlights would be: Standing on the precipice of where North America begins as this province greets each new day first,
...standing aghast at all the seabirds that flock there per annum (I have a passion for wildlife photography), going to a local pub chattering with the locals, and being as intergrated into the lifestyle they appreciate as much as possible.

This is Oona. I JUST finished The Jade Notebook. I am speechless. Now one of my favorite books. Thank you Laura! I'm sad to see the series end. I recommended the Notebooks series to my math teacher. Everyone should read them!

Hello Laura,
I am Francesca. I have always wanted to go to France. The food, fashion, history, and people always seemed to intrigue me just like the characters in the Notebook series! I love all your work and I hope to win.... - February 17, 2012 at 2:13 PM

Congrats! Can't wait to read The Jade Notebook! If I could travel anywhere with no thoughts of my job, I'd go to Australia. I've been dying to go there for years, check out the wonderful beaches, oceans, and just get a view of the other side of the world!

Hi, I'm Lina Tellez.
I would go to... Sicily, Italy. My grandfather on my mother's side is from there, and I feel very... in touch with my Italian side, through food and music, of course. I'd love to just look at the scenery and eat.
But I'd like to go to Mexico, too, because I'm part Mexican as well. I'd want to go to Acuna, partly because there's a small town where my best friend is from, and partly because I've never been to Mexico, despite living not very far away.
But I just want to travel, I think, to Italy, Monte Carlo, Spain, France, even though, before I read your book, I never much wanted to visit France.
All in all, I think I just want to travel in Europe. To find out who I really am, maybe.
Haha, I'm sorry for leaving this essay of an answer, but I am just... IN LOVE with your books; like someone finally wrote the perfect book series for just for me to read. Like, you totally understand me, haha.
But anyways, congradulations on releasing the book, I can't wait to read it! - February 18, 2012 at 11:25 AM
Hi Laura,
Congrats on the new book! I can't wait to read it. My dream vacation would be snorkeling in Fiji or Tahiti. You know we love to snorkel.

When Marie Ary was 3 months old, she was placed into the foster care system. Her single mother was battling a drug addiction. Her aunt was already caring for Marie's older sister when she was born and couldn't raise another child, so a family friend named Lois Collins become her foster parent in 1989. Marie grew up calling Lois "mom." Speaking about her experience, she says it was the best thing to happen to her. "It was a responsible choice to make, and I'm who I am because of it," Marie says. "I went through the things that every kid goes through growing up, but my mom really grounded me and taught me the important things in life. She was very serious about academics and made sure that I worked hard in school. I became passionate about learning because of her." Marie and her foster mom were a close family. They ate dinner together in their home in Alameda County and talked. They said "I love you" to each other. Lois made sure to take Marie to her aunt's house so she could also stay close with her sister. "My mom stressed the importance of maintaining a relationship with my sister," Marie says. "I saw my aunt and my sister every weekend. I was fortunate in so many ways to have my mom." When Marie was 13, she and Lois moved to Elk Grove. Marie completed high school and went on to graduate in 2011 from Johnson C. Smith University on North Carolina with a degree in computer science and information systems. She is currently working for AmeriCorps as a youth mentor and will be helping youth learn independent living skills and succeed at school. Though she says there are several people who have contributed to her achievements, Marie's foster mom and the foster care system gave her the foundation she needed to succeed in life. "I am so thankful I had my mom and permanency with her," Marie says. "Because of the way she raised me, I have had many opportunities in life. She taught me how to carry myself and how to talk to people. She's always wanted the best for me and wants to see me continue to succeed."

15" x 1500' Black Stretch Wrap - 80 Gauge (4 Rolls)
Product DescriptionOpaque black stretch wrap (sometimes also called black shrink wrap) is a packaging technique that is used to secure boxes to pallets. It is a roll of thin stretchable plastic film that should be wrapped around the boxes several times for tougher holding power. Black stretch wrap rolls are 80 gauge for pallet loads as heavy as 2,500 lbs. The opaque black finish makes this the perfect solution for outdoor storage and internal shipments where concealment may be required. The strong cast film comes off the roll smoothly and can be applied to pallets by manually walking around and wrapping either by hand or using a stretch wrap hand dispensers. Stretch wrap machinery is also available for high-volume users; call us at (866)537-2244 for more information.

I have a hard time getting the DVD to play. It works. I use it to play workout DVDs, so I need to breath a little before it begins to play. Probably operator error.
I believe this is the same one I purchased a few months ago from Overstock (refurb). Works great. I actually need another one for another room. Going to order it again. Thanks again Overstock.
Very happy with this purchase. Movies look great on my television.
First, cd player didn't show track numbers on the front display? Couldn't possibly use it without this feature. Also, the number buttons on the remote didn't work so I couldn't even enter the track number I wanted. All in all, a very frustrating experience.

So i could be totally wrong in my Research. Register to remove this ad But i've looked at Agencies and Publishers in the UK and it seems Crime and Thriller are on demand with most Agencies. But Horror seems the Genre that isn't. As an Unpublished Author completely, but one who does want to be. Should you write what sells i.e. a crime or thriller just to get your foot in the door. Or should you write what you like even if that means there isn't much of a Market for it. This is not for me it's just a question in General, luckily i don't 'have a Genre' i write a little bit of everything and am no where near ready to try and Publish anything. I was just doing research. I'd love to hear peoples opinions as i'm sure i'm not the only one whose ever asked this question. x
I think you have to at least have an interest in your subject matter to produce a quality product. If you're forcing yourself to write a genre you either don't like or (worse) are not familiar with, you're setting yourself up for failure. That said, if your goal is to be a writer who earns her income by writing, then as with any endeavor you've got to understand the market and provide a product that customers want. So my advice is to stick with genres, stories, and the like that interest you and that you can develop a passion and motivation for writing, but within that broad umbrella look to see what is selling and where the trends are headed. To muddy the waters further, if you're good enough, you can ignore the advice above and set the next trend yourself
Write what you want. If you're just in it for money, there's thousands of other jobs that would be more interesting and pay more than writing on a subject you're not interested at all, just because it's going to sell. tl;dr - I'd work in Burger King before writing a teenage vampire novel.
Lol! So would i! I don't get the fasination at all, Vampires should be evil blood-sucking creatures in Horror books not in Romance, in my opinion.
Write what you want, of course. If you're not writing what you want, you won't enjoy it, and you'll wind up hating the time you spend at the keyboard. Besides, who knows what sells? Writers like David Foster Wallace, David Mitchell, Nicholson Baker, and many others have had great success with novels that look nothing like what came before them in genre, technique, or structure. Bring something original to your work. It may take a lot of work, but you can probably get somebody to notice it, and publish it, and you will then have made it on your own terms instead of someone else's.
both, if you want to be successfully published... trying to force one or the other most likely won't get you anywhere...
Like minstrel said, it's hard to predict what will sell. Assuming your manuscript is accepting by a publisher, it may take another year or so after that for the book to actually hit shelves. By that time the tastes of the audience might have changed. You're better off writing about the things that interest you.
Hi, The question is who do you write for? Yourself or your reader? If it's for yourself then writewhatever you want to write and celebrate your passion. If it's your reader, write what you think will sell. Oh and as Steerpike says, if you write well enough, it'll sell regardless. Also I'm thinking of making this into my mantra, and maybe having it engraved on my tombstone. "I write for myself, I publish for sales." The point is that, at least for me, first has to come the passion, and I'm not passionate about what other people want to read. If you write for someone else, can you bring enough passion into the work that both they and you will want to read it? Cheers, Greg.
I agree with what everybody here has said, and i'd like to point out again this isn't for me in the way i want to be published, it was a general question that interested me. I'm no where near ready to be published and am not sure i really want to be, just because you're published doesn't necessarily mean your any good.
I completely disagree with the boldface claim. Of course, you need to write something that intrigues you. You can't just chase the tail of what is "hot," for all the reasons people have already said. But you should also be open to writing new things. The only way you can grow as a writer is to challenge yourself, and one of the best ways to challenge yourself is to write in genres outside of your comfort zone. I believe it's the same reason Johnny Depp is so successful as an actor, because he keeps taking completely different roles. Yo Yo Ma is the world's famous cellist, and he has said he wants to master every style of music. Of course, you're better off studying a new genre before you write it, but just because, say, you have no idea what "steampunk" is, that doesn't mean you won't be able to write the next bestselling steampunk book. So, maybe try to write something that is "hot" right now. If you find a story you really like, it can be really refreshing. Even if you miss the demand, you'll have another good story to try to sell, and you'll be a better writer when you return to your favorite genre.
What steerpike said. I think you should write what you like, because you'd probably be better at it, if what sells doen't also happen to be what you like. Writing a novel (not to mention more than one) takes a lot of time and effort and in order to do that you have to like what you do, otherwise it would be more difficult to motivate yourself to sit down every day and treat it like work.
Both, you should write something that you want to write, but it should also be something that others would want to read. I believe it's important to understand your audience, and to know who you are writing for. In regards to the horror genre, I think the Interest still remains. In my opinion (I could be wrong) their just really hasn't been any excellent pieces of writing written in this genre in the past few you years. Or at least nothing I've found truly scary. So if you want to write horror, then go for it, If it becomes a success then maybe more people will start reading the genre and other authors may try and jump on the band wagon.
I'm not sure you do completely disagree with Steerpike. You actually say that you're better off studying a new genre before you write it. If you wrote in a genre you had no clue about, you'd probably fail. If you studied it beforehand, your chance of success increases. I'd bet the two of you agree on that.
Write what you want and make it salable. If you just write what sells, it won't sell. What I mean is, if you write something you're not passionate about in a formulaic manner because you think it'll make you money, your motivation (and lack thereof) will likely show in your work and the result will be less than desirable. Writing what you want and doing the absolute best you can to also make it salable is key.
No. I wasn't really clear with what I feel, so let me clarify. If steerpike defines "fail" in this context to be "fail in meeting the expectations of readers" then I would agree. You need to study the genre to play with the reader's expectations. But if steerpike defines "fail" as "fail in creating a good story," I disagree. I'm interpreting steerpike's "fail" to mean the latter. I don't believe you would "probably fail" if you knew nothing about a genre. If you knew nothing about horror and tried to write a horror manuscript, I think it's entirely possible to write a good horror manuscript. It would just be different from other works in the same genre. If you have strong characters, dramatic tension, and a great "voice," you probably have a good story.
The answer to the question sounds like it should be just do what you want to do. Because if you really just want to write something that sells because you want to make money... you can do it if you keep at it. Like Funky said... you can challenge yourself to write outside your comfort zone and succeed. On the other hand, if you aren't happy doing that, then just do what you are comfortable doing. If you don't want to write suspense or fantasy... then don't do it. I respect Johnny Depp for being able to take on roles that aren't essentially the same guy. But there's also something to being REALLY good at a certain character. Guys like Tommy Lee Jones, basically are the same character in every movie they act in... and they have that character down and they are good at it and as a result those movies are relatively sucessful. People say that Nicolas Cage is basically the same guy in a lot of his films, yet the guy is an A-list actor.
I think there's one way to become the greatest actor, musician, or writer: Challenge yourself. I don't, however, think there is ONE right way to challenge yourself. One way is to constantly write horror books over and over, trying to create a better horror book than the last. Another is to write in as many genres as possible, while still trying to make a better book than the last. Neither way is better than the other; I think both are valid choices, but different people will find different approaches work better for them. I was vouching for the approach no one had mentioned yet, that's all. Are you like Johnny Depp, like Tommy Lee Jones, or like Jim Carey (who I would argue is somewhere in between)?
Yeah. I agree. Which is why I kind of say just do what you want to do. If you think you can get decent enough at other genres to sell big, then go for it. But if you only like writing one genre, then do what you like doing. Are you asking me or was that rhetorical? I would say I'm very much like Tommy Lee Jones. I only like writing mystery/suspense and I have no interest in doing Science Fiction or Fantasy or anything else.
Yeah. I agree. Which is why I kind of say just do what you want to do. If you think you can get decent enough at other genres to sell big, then go for it. But if you only like writing one genre, then do what you like doing. Are you asking me or was that rhetorical? I would say I'm very much like Tommy Lee Jones. I only like writing mystery/suspense and I have no interest in doing Science Fiction or Fantasy or anything else.
Nice. I think I'm more of a Jim Carey. I love science fiction, but I like switching it up now and again with other genres.
It's already been said that you should enjoy what you write. Why? Facing the truth, you're going to be reading and rereading that mansucript at least a dozen times as you edit and revise. If you don't enjoy the subject matter and the story, you're bound to be miserable. But you say, "I'm doing to for the money and to get my foot in the door, so I can deal with it." Maybe that's true, but the odds of a first mansucript getting picked up by a publisher are long, if that's your goal. The other thing to consider is trends--If you're working toward finding a traditional publisher, what you're seeing hit the shelves today were probably completed 18 months ago, maybe more. There are already 'new' works in the pipeline. Chasing trends can be a losing proposition. If mystery and thriller is hot today...will it be so after you take 6 months to a year to write your novel, take a year to find a publisher(or an agent then a publisher) then spend 18 or so months waiting for the contract to be negotiated, a slot for editing and then editing, marketing (at least ARCs sent out) and cover art, and then hitting the shelves, etc. In the end, maybe horror, for example isn't selling well. But there are still buyers. Even westerns will occasionally show up on the shelves. A top quality work will eventually find a home, if it's better than the competition. And actually, romance is what seems to be selling the best, and even growing among the genres. This trend has been going for quite some time.
definitely more and most likely much more, since the time from signing a publishing contract to seeing the book in the bookstores generally runs from 18 months to 2 years... and you don't get a contract the moment you finish the book, so you can pretty much add on another year or two for finding an agent and the agent snagging a publisher... that puts your genre/subject several years past what was 'timely' when you started writing it...
Well I'm screwed! I will just keep writing what I like though, I really enjoy reading crime and thriller novels but I don't feel any desire to write my own ones. If I try to force myself to write a genre where the ideas don't flow naturally it'll most likely show in my work.
I've never heard of Tommy Lee Jones before. And i don't really write for any Genre, i write the story in my head and that could be anything. I've written Mystery and suspense, fantasy and sci-fi. The only thing i can't write is Romance i find it quite Boring. But each to his own i guess.

Classes Teach Soldiers To Be 'Army Strong'
By editor
Two years ago, the U.S. Army launched a program to teach soldiers how to be emotionally and psychologically strong. This week, the Army released a review of the Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program. Host Rachel Martin speaks with the program's director, Brig. Gen. James Pasquarette, and Sgt. 1st Class Michael Ballard, a resiliency trainer in the program, about what it takes to prepare troops mentally for combat.

to navigate through the collection
Providence: looking forwards and backwards to prepare for the future. In the Autumn-Winter collection, Raf Simons, Artistic Director of Christian Dior, instigates an exploration of the past combined with ideas of a near future, to look for what it means to be modern in the contemporary haute couture world today.
I was interested in the process of finding something extremely modern, through something very historical; particularly through a juxtaposition of different themes," explains Raf Simons. "The historical inspiration is not the justification of the collection, it isn't its entire meaning. What I was attracted to was an idea of architectural construction - that is a very Dior attitude – and how the foundations of one era are based on another, how the future is based on the past; that is what I found fascinating.
Eschewing strict historical accuracy and embracing an amalgamation in the imagination, the collection is nevertheless split into eight distinctly different sections, each a variation on a theme. The historical sprawl of the collection spans influences from the 18th Century onwards; it takes in 18th Century French court attire of both sexes and similarly synthesises ideas from the uniforms of both cosmonauts and astronauts up until the present day – the astronaut is a symbol of exploration for Simons and flight a reoccurring leitmotif in the collection.
The theme and variation structure proceeds as follows: Robe a la Française: A variation on traditional dresses of the 18th Century; an amalgam of styles mostly worn with panniers, lightened with new tulle structures.
Flight a la Française: Here the flight suit meets the traditional dress; bodices and embroidery transposed at times, zippers and silk taffeta utilised. 1910s Linear: Sinuous, long line coats with an Edwardian origin, travelling through history. Bodice meets Jacket: The transposing of technical details, employed at the service of structural form; bodices become skirts, jackets become blouses, smocking structures.
Justacorps and Gilets: Masculine 'court coats' of the 18th Century adapted for the feminine form. 1920s Liberated: Loose, 'flapper' lines of the twenties reimagined in tour de force embroideries. Collar meets Bar: The Dior archive at its most abstract and geometric; pure volumes and shapes originating from 1950 are elaborated on, highlighting Christian Dior's architectural purity of form. Techniques, Pleats and Systems: An approach to decoration where tradition and technology combine; traditional piping becomes indivisible from the systems of astronaut suiting.
"I started to think 'what is modern'? I wanted to deal with a form language that looks to be almost the opposite of my original inspiration at Dior," says Raf Simons. "It was an idea of confronting what people now think is an aesthetic that is modern - it felt more modern to go to the far past, not the 'modernised' look of the last decade. The challenge was to bring the attitude of contemporary reality to something very historical; bringing easiness to something that could be perceived as theatrical. It is the attitude that matters."

School's summer reading list riddled with errors
Students asked to read 'The Great Gypsy'
UPDATED 10:23 PM EDT Jul 11, 2013
A school district in Long Island has released a student summer reading list riddled with spelling errors.
The Associated Press reports that F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" is misspelled as "The Great Gypsy," and author Emily Bronte is listed as Emily Bonte. There are more than 30 errors on the list provided by the Hempstead Public Schools.
In a statement, a member of the New York State Department of Education's board of regents said the mistakes indicated that a stable administration was essential for children to get a good education. The statement said, "Hempstead has not had a stable administration for a long time and the kids are suffering."
Hempstead Superintendent Susan Johnson didn't immediately return a call for comment.

Ten boat safety checks every skipper needs to make By John Jamieson, , 2:16 PM Fri 31 Jan 2014 Do you have a safety check list over the chart table on your boat - or anywhere else? Have you added the three most important bilge pumps to your boat safety check list? Does your sailing crew know the location of survival equipment, fuel shutoff valve and how to test a seacock? ...[more] In-mast furling - is it the 'no-no' we've always believed? By Des Ryan/Sail-World Cruising, , 8:42 PM Sun 5 Jan 2014 In the inevitable cockpit-sundowner chat, in-mast furling has always been a 'no-no'. But is it true? Or is the cockpit-sundowner chat just scare-mongering? Here Des Ryan looks at a few of the issues. ...[more] Product of the week: One Sailor MBS for single-handed docking By nk, 11:02 AM Wed 13 Nov 2013 Sailing single-handed poses its own challenges, and one of the principle of these is docking without assistance. While at sea with plenty of room, aiming the boat in the direction you want is done with a lot of flexibility. However when it comes to docking the boat, wind, currents and the characteristics of the boat can make it tricky. Now there's a neat aide to make it easier. ...[more] Get your DSC-equipped VHF hooked up right By BoatUS/Sail-World, 12:57 PM Tue 29 Oct 2013 With summer approaching fast, it's time to make sure you have a VHF on board working to the maximum.

The system, called SlideMoor, makes docking safer and easier while mitigating the risks associated with tidal change, wind and wave activity. ...[more] Mountain bike torch great for tough sailing conditions By Des Ryan, 12:44 AM Tue 17 Sep 2013 Cruising sailors benefit, not only from the research that goes into high tech racing, but also from research into other markets. This was the case for Exposure Marine, which initially developed torches for the professional mountain bikers, and this led to producing torches which are incredibly powerful, superlight, and corrosion resistant, and therefore ideal for marine conditions. ...[more] Product of the Week: Drawer fridge for cool-keeping and accessibility By Sail-World Cruisng, 10:07 AM Mon 16 Sep 2013 Tired of having to turn upside down to reach that special bottle at the very bottom of your super efficient sailing boat refrigerator?

The Royal Yachting Association has come up with some timely help in the form of a new book entitled the RYA Rigging Handbook. ...[more] Product of the Week: The LED ringed switch By Martin Flory/Sail-World Cruising, 1:54 PM Fri 23 Aug 2013 There can be few things more valuable on a boat than being able to turn equipment on and off without the necessity to turn on a light - which may wake sleeping crew or destroy your night vision. That's where this week's Product of the Week, comes in, the LED-ringed switch. ...[more] Product of the Week: The LED ringed switch By Martin Flory/Sail-World Cruising, 12:32 PM Fri 23 Aug 2013 There can be few things more valuable on a boat than being able to turn equipment on and off without the necessity to turn on a light - which may wake sleeping crew or destroy your night vision.

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
10 Things You Don't Want To Hear In The Airport 10. "We have a lost child at gate D-4, the bidding will start at $20." 9. "I'm sorry madam, but we cannot allow you to bring your cat on board. We don't yet know the effects of high radiation on our feline friends. And we are required to check your bags." 8. "Yes sir, we are aware of the biohazard tag on your luggage and no, you don't want to know its origin. I recommend you refrain from opening your suitcase." 7. "Yes sir, importing Cuban cigars is illegal, that's why the security officer had to confiscate them. What? He's smoking them? Hey! You rat! Save some for me!" 6. "I'm sorry madam, but our insurance policy does not cover punctures in your bags caused by our checking attendants. No, it also does not cover airline crashes. It does cover explosions prior to takeoff, however, and is our most commonly purchased package." 5. "Attention all airline passengers, your flight has been delayed." 4. "For those who have never flown before or who have never heard about the concept of a flying machine: We are currently experiencing 'turbulence,' a common by-product of 'air travel.' Please refrain from screams of mortal danger until we've safely landed." 3. "Madam, please take your food now, the tongs are melting." 2. "We apologize for the delay. Due to extenuating circumstances, our pilot is experiencing difficulties with his sobriety level. Please allow sufficient time for him to have additional shots of tequila." 1. "This is your captain speaking, on the left you can now observe the majestic Mount Kilamanjar... oh, crap!"
Cyanide Please A lady walked into a drugstore and told the pharmacist she needed some cyanide. The pharmacist said, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?" The lady then explained that she needed it to poison her husband. The pharmacist's eyes got big and he said, "Lord have mercy, I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband! That's against the law! They'll throw both of us in jail and I'll lose my license." Then the lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife, and handed it to the pharmacist. The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well now, you didn't tell me you had a prescription."
What Not To Say To A Pregnant Woman If your wife or girlfriend is pregnant, you might want to avoid saying these: "Sure you'll get your figure back. We'll just search 1985 to see where you left it." "How come you're so much fatter than the other chicks in Lamaze?" "What's the big deal? If you can handle 'me' going in, surely you can handle a baby coming out." "Hey, when you're finished puking in there, get me a beer, will ya?" "Yo, fatass! You're blocking the TV!" "Y'know, looking at her, you'd never guess that Pamela Anderson had a baby!" "I sure hope your thighs aren't gonna stay that flabby forever!" "Damn if you ain't about five pounds away from a surprise visit from that Richard Simmons fella." "Fred at the office passed a stone the size of a pea. Boy, that's gotta hurt." "Got milk?" "Maybe we should name the baby after my secretary, Tawney."
Joe Joe and Wanda had a small apartment in the city, and they decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their 10-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony and order him to report on all the neighborhood activities. To a young boy, they thought, spying would be a lot of fun and would distract him for an hour or so. The boy began his commentary, as his parents put their plan into operation. "There's a car being towed from the parking lot," he said. "An ambulance just drove by." A few moments passed. "Looks like the Andersons have company," he called out. "Matt's riding a new bike and the Coopers are having sex." Mom and Dad shot up in bed. "How do you know that?" the startled father asked. "Their kid is standing out on the balcony too," the son replied.
Drivers Education Exam Answers The following are allegedly a sampling of real answers received on exams given by the California Department of Transportation's driving school. Q: Do you yield when a blind pedestrian is crossing the road? A: What for? He can't see my license plate. Q: Who has the right of way when four cars approach a four-way stop at the same time? A: The pick-up truck with the gun rack and the bumper sticker saying, "Guns don't kill people. I do." Q: What are the important safety tips to remember when backing in your car? A: Always wear a condom. Q: When driving through fog, what should you use? A: Your car. Q: How can you reduce the possibility of having an accident? A: Be too sh*tfaced to find your keys. Q: What problems would you face if you were arrested for drunk driving? A: I'd probably lose my buzz a lot faster. Q: What changes would occur in your lifestyle if you could no longer drive lawfully? A: I would be forced to drive unlawfully. Q: What are some points to remember when passing or being passed? A: Make eye contact and wave "hello" if she's cute. Q: What is the difference between a flashing red traffic light and a flashing yellow traffic light? A: The color. Q: How do you deal with heavy traffic? A: Heavy psychedelics. Q: What can you do to help ease a heavy traffic problem? A: Carry loaded weapons.
Lawyer Joke The devil visited a lawyer's office and made him an offer. "I can arrange some things for you," the devil said. "I'll increase your income five-fold; your partners will love you; your clients will respect you; you'll have four months of vacation each year and live to be 100. All I require in return is that your wife's soul, your children's souls, and their children's souls will rot in hell for eternity." The lawyer thought for a moment. "So, what's the catch?" he asked.

From the end of July to the start of August every year, the city celebrates the St. Olav's Festival, Norway's largest church and cultural festival. Trondheim Jazz Festival, Trondheim Chamber Music Festival Kosmorama International Film Festival, Pstereo and Nidaros Blues Festival are other annual, international festivals taking place in Trondheim.
Hell Music Festival in the town of Hell (30 kilometres north of Trondheim), Storåsfestivalen (74 kilometres south of Trondheim) and Molde International Jazz Festival in Molde (220 kilometres southwest of Trondheim) are also worth a visit.
During the summer outdoor plays and operas are very popular. The most famous are Korsvikaspillet (every other year), The St. Olav Drama at Stiklestad (120 kilometres north for Trondheim) and The Midnight Opera Olav Engelbrektsson at Steinvikholm (50 kilometres north of Trondheim).
There are a number of quality galleries in Trondheim where you can enjoy the works of art, or buy them.
Trondheim Symphony Orchestra gives weekly concerts in the Olavshallen.
Trondheim's football team Rosenborg Ballklubb (RBK), has been the most successful football team in Norway for the last 20 years - winning 20 league championships and nine cup championships. The team has several times qualified to play in the Champions League.
Guided tours of Lerkendal Stadium, where they play their home matches, are available from late June.
Bakklandet is a cosy district, characterised by wooden architecture, where you will find small, specialist shops and where you can enjoy a cup coffee at one of the small, pleasant cafés.
Summer as well as winter, Bymarka entices visitors with the beauty and variety of its countryside. There is a varied and well developed network of trails.
Walking trails can be found in several places locally. Ladestien (approximately 14 kilometres in length) follows the coast along Lade Peninsula, while Nidelvstien makes for a pleasant walk along the Nidelven River.
The Nidelven River is one of Norway's best salmon and trout rivers. Most fishing locations are open to the public. Some stretches are even free.
Trondheim is the first city in the world with a lift specifically designed for cyclists. The Trampe bicycle lift, developed in Trondheim, goes up the steep hill at Brubakken near Gamle Bybro, and takes you from the bridge and almost all the way up to the Kristiansten Fort.
For test-runs, you need a lift card and a bike. Lift cards are available at the tourist office. Further information about the cycle lift is available at the starting point.
