- Description
How does it sound to have a StatGear rescue tool that includes:
- A spring loaded steel tip window punch
- 440C stainless steel hook blade for seatbelt cutting
- LED light with replaceable batteries
- 1/2 serrated 440C stainless steel blade
- Stainless steel belt clip & heavy duty nylon belt sheath
- Featured in Mens Health Magazine, Entrepreneur.com, Ambulance World, Military.Com and Journal of EMS
Additional Specs:- Blade length - 3 1/4"
- Complete tool length - 5"
- Tool weight - 6.4 oz
Blade Closing Instructions:
With the StatGear knife edge facing you, there are two pieces of flat steel in the middle of the knife. One goes all the way from the top to the bottom of the handle and the other one on the right is bent towards the right. That bent piece is the liner lock. You use your right thumb to push the right piece (liner lock) towards the straight piece (i.e. push the right piece to the left) and at the same time you carefully close the knife blade (watch your thumb!). The same type of lock exists for the hook seat belt cutting blade on the back of the knife. You use your thumb to push in the piece of flat steel towards the center of the handle and close the hook blade. Check out our blade closing video by hitting the VIDEO tab above.
Window Punch Instructions:
Hold the window punch against the window and push with moderate force. The steel point will shoot out, shatter the glass and then retract automatically. Caution: This window punch really works! Always wear the proper protective equipment when practicing.- Reviews

I stuffed some turkey, salad greens, avocado and hummus into a whole wheat pita and ate it up for lunch. I have to go out of the house this afternoon so I wanted to eat early, but I also wanted something that would keep me full. I added then hummus instead of my usual mustard to make the sandwich a bit more filling – hopefully it does the trick so I don't find myself scrounging for a snack out of my bag again!
I spent some time this morning planning out a few meals. We are having friends over tomorrow and then we have the Super Bowl on Sunday too so I was looking for a few new ideas in some magazines I picked up recently. I still couldn't finalize what I will be making because I need Mike to weigh in on the decision but I have a good list of options. I'm not a Colts or a Saints fan but a Super Bowl party is always fun —
are you having a party or going to one? What are you making? Do you try to make healthy options or splurge options? I try to make healthier versions of splurges so you get the best of both worlds! It should be a good game!!
This Meal Provides Approximately: Grains = 1.5 ounces (+whole), Vegetables = 0.5 cup, Milk = 0.25 cup, Meat & Beans = 3-4 ounces, Oils = 4 teaspoons, Discretionary Calories = 10-15 kcals (cheese)

Rise and Run
I used the same items as yesterday for my lunch today but I made them into a sandwich instead of a salad. I didn't get as many veggies in but I know I am having a much healthier dinner tonight than I did last night so I will get more veggies in then!

text: It's a topic that everyone is curious about but that no one wants to discuss: how much the other guy in your position is getting paid. Is he getting a bigger salary, more benefits? You no longer have to wonder, because Mobile Enterprise asked and our readers answered in our fourth annual salary survey. We break down the salary survey by decision-making authority and by job function. Average salaries, numbers of hours worked per week, and numbers of hours spent as a mobile worker per week are all calculated, and benefits beyond salary are tallied. Notably, benefits other than salary decreased in 2010 as compared to 2009 even as salaries stayed mostly flat. Reductions and raises were reported, and all of these items taken together paint a positive picture of the state of enterprise mobility today. There were no huge jumps in salary in any category this year, but with the economy recovering slowly, staying flat with last year's salary is positive indeed. So click here to see if your salary measures up to your peers in the enterprise mobility space. Also in this issue, our security expert Ben Halpert returns to answer your most pressing security questions. From passwords and authentication to consumerization and privacy, Ben covers it all, with wit and wisdom. I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome three new members to our editorial advisory board: Joseph Dechow at Munson Medical Center, Michael King at Gartner, and Alice MacPhee at PSE&G. These new members add to the collective insight and guidance that our entire EAB (listed below) brings to Mobile Enterprise so that we can bring you, our readers, the most up-to-date and pertinent information you need to make mobility a success in your enterprise. Please join me in welcoming the new members, and I look forward to their contributions to Mobile Enterprise.

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Sci-fi themes work well.
So it seems every 250 years or so, the moon is in such a position that its rays open the doorway from an even more sex-starved dimension than ours, and boy, will you want to see what comes through that door! You'll start with Tamara Lee, but frankly, she's not even the hottest babe. Wait till you watch, in quick succession, Rebecca Steele and Racquel! Talk about looking like you haven't had it for awhile! Those who are waiting to see Randy West in action will have to wait till the end for his coupling with Marilyn Rose. So while this is basically just four hot sex scenes in a row, the two middle ones are steamy enough to have you running to your astrological charts to fin out when this gateway opens again.

[DBAL-139] Oracle's sequences with NOCACHE Created: 29/Jul/11 Updated: 22/Dec/13 Resolved: 22/Dec/13 |

Description |
Hi community, Today I tried to generate Oracle's sequences with "NOCACHE", but I checked that method "getCreateSequenceSQL" don't accept. Can we improvement this method to allow? Below an example of the sintaxe: CREATE SEQUENCE seq_test START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 NOCACHE |
Comments |
Comment by Ivan Andric [ 22/Sep/12 ] |
Hi, If cache value is specified then syntax should contain CACHE keyword that follows the value and if value is not specified then it should go without CACHE keyword. My Idea is to add cache attribute to Sequence object and then under the previous story, set cache to given value if value is greater than 1 and less than calculation by the given formula. For nocache, Some public function will return NOCACHE or CACHE n and that function could be called in getCreateSequenceSQL method from Sequence input parameter. Anyone have a better idea or I can code this and request pull from my fork? |

Significance and Use
4.1 The hygroscopic properties of wood and wood-based products treated with fire-retardant chemicals are often greater than for untreated products. This is particularly true at the higher relative humidity conditions. This higher hygroscopicity sometimes is the cause for staining, decay, poor paint adhesion, and migration and exuding of chemicals and moisture at the high humidities. Corrosion of metal fasteners sometimes also occurs.
4.2 The results obtained with this standard are important in identifying treatments with low hygroscopic properties.
4.3 Results can be useful in determining exposure limitations in service for specific treated products.
4.4 Building codes and other specifications for fire-retardant-treated wood for interior use include requirements based on this test method.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method prescribes the procedure for determining the hygroscopicity of fire retardant treated wood products by determining the moisture content of fire-retardant-treated wood and wood-based product specimens after exposure to a test condition of 92 ± 2 % relative humidity at 81 ± 4°F [27 ± 2°C].
1.2 The text of this test method references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of this test method.
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Public Pensions and GrowthStephane LambrechtGREMARS & University of Lille Philippe MichelNational Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) - GREQAM (Deceased) Jean-Pierre VidalEuropean Central Bank (ECB) November 2001 ECB Working Paper No. 90 Abstract: System and economic growth in an overlapping generation economy, in which altruistic parents finance the education of their children and leave bequests. Unlike the existing literature, we model intergenerational altruism by assuming that children's income during adulthood is an argument of parental utility. Unfunded public pensions can promote growth when families face liquidity constraints preventing them from investing optimally in the education of their children. We consider two alternative ways of financing a public pension system, either by levying social contributions in a lump-sum manner or in proportion to labour income. We find that there is no case for unfunded public pensions in economies where bequests are operative. By contrast, there exists a growth-maximising size of the public pension system in economies where bequests are not operative and individuals are sufficiently patient.

Forces on Implants Supporting Overdentures: A Preliminary Study of Morphologic and Cephalometric Considerations
Regina Mericske-Stern, Dr Med Dent/Alfred H. Geering, Prof Dr Med Dent/ Walter B. Bürgin, Dipl Ing ETH/Hans Graf, Prof Dr Med Dent
It is usually suggested that loading forces be transmitted to implants in the vertical direction. In 44 subjects treated with mandibular implants and overdentures, the inclination of the implant axis relative to the occlusal plane of the corresponding prostheses was measured by means of cephalometric radiographs. The degree of mandibular atrophy was also assessed. Peri-implant parameters such as plaque index, bleeding scores, and probing depths were registered on four implant sites. About 70% of the implants showed a buccal inclination, 11% showed a lingual inclination, and only 19% were found with an angle of 90 degrees. After an observation period of 5 years, no positive relationship between inclination of the implant axis, mandibular atrophy, and peri-implant findings could be established. Aspects of facial morphology and the interalveolar relationship of both jaws should be considered additional parameters and should be included in investigations concerning functional dynamics of removable dentures. (INT J ORAL MAXILLLOFAC IMPLANTS 1993;8:254-263.)

LSU had an astounding 13 players at the NFL Scouting Combine last week, which means most or all will be drafted when the NFL starts picking on April 25. Some are more highly valued than others.
The question is: Which one of them most deserves to be waiting in the green room to hear his name called? Defensive end Barkevious Mingo has the highest ceiling but safety Eric Reid had a great combine and Kevin Minter has moved up as well. Sam Montgomery would easily be the most entertaining and perhpas the most polished player, but looks like a late first-early second round pick.Vote in our poll and don't stop there.

Albert R. Broccoli Presents Roger Moore as Ian Fleming's James Bond 007.
007 teams up with a seductive russian agent to stop a madman's plot for world destruction with a seven-foot-tall giant called 'jaws' standing in his way. |

"Rousing, lavishly produced James Bond adventure...Grand fun for one and all... Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide
Editor's Note
THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, the 10th film in the James Bond series, ventures not only into the depths of the ocean but into the deep topic of betrayal and morality as well, placing it among the boldest of the 007 films. James Bond (Roger Moore) is coupled with Russian agent Anya "Triple-X" Amasova (Barbara Bach) to recover stolen Soviet submarines from evil oceanographer Carl Stromberg (Curt Jurgens) and his gigantic lackey, Jaws (Richard Kiel). When Triple-X learns that Bond killed her husband on a mission in the Alps, she must overcome her selfish notions of revenge and work with 007 for the good of the world.In addition to the Bond staple of girls and gadgetry, the film features beautifully shot footage of the Austrian Alps, Venice, and the Egyptian pyramids. Furthermore, director Lewis Gilbert uses the film to push the cinematic envelope with stunning underwater action sequences, that leave the viewer gasping for air and a vodka martini--shaken, not stirred.

A bridge that connects New Hampshire and Maine is expected to be closed at night for several weeks for repairs.
Work is to start about July 9 on the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge to install a barrier system to replace a corroded guardrail. The work should be completed Aug. 1.
The cost of the nearly $1 million contract will be split between Maine and New Hampshire.
The Portsmouth Herald reports the work was required after a study of the bridge indicated the old guardrail was so rotten it posed a safety risk.
The work will be done at night to minimize inconvenience to travelers who use the bridge, which connects Portsmouth to Kittery, Maine.

Victoria Victoria Beckham Spring 2013
Victoria Beckham's diffusion line, Victoria Victoria Beckham, was all about statement dresses for Spring 2013. Safari details, colorblock shifts, suede, printed shirtdresses, florals, plunging. Silhouettes ranged from body-con to A-line to baggy to boxy. Hemlines were mostly mini, but there were a few more ladylike knee-length dresses. No matter the style or color, all the models strutted down the catwalk in sky-high platform wedges. Some wore oversize bangles with their looks, while others carried their shoulder bags as crossbodies. If you have dresses on the brain, Victoria Victoria Beckham has you covered.

Keane Wants Nasty Streak from Naive Town
Town boss Roy Keane has said the club needs a nasty streak and that at times he believes his side is a little too naive. The former Sunderland boss has been under pressure from various sections of the media in the last seven days, with some national newspapers claiming the Irishman was set to be relieved of his duties this week, however Keane is still in place to take charge of today's clash against Reading.Speaking to the EADT of his wish to change the club, Keane said: "You've got to have that nasty streak, in certain times of the game. There's nothing wrong with being nice. My Dad always said it's nice to be nice."But I think we are generally a naïve team. The team has lacked a few characters. Other teams, going into injury-time, take time with throw-ins and injuries, or time-waste. It's not outright cheating. There's a cuteness to it."Keane also defended comments made last week that the club was too nice and the image needed to change but claimed it was not aimed at the staff: "When I've said in the past that the club is too "nicey, nicey," I didn't mean the people at the club."I just mean that the players have to be more streetwise. And by that I don't mean a club around the ear!"

Russia hopes for US flexibility on missile shield
Send a link to a friend
[November 08, 2012] MOSCOW (AP) -- Russia expects President Barack Obama to show more flexibility in a dispute over U.S. missile defense plans following his re-election, the country's deputy prime minister said Thursday.
The controversy over the planned missile shield has strained the relations between the U.S. and Russia. Moscow has rejected Washington's assurances that the shield is intended to fend off potential missile threats from Iran and voiced concern the system could threaten Russia's nuclear deterrent.
In March, Obama, unaware that he was speaking on an open microphone, told Dmitry Medvedev, then Russian president, that he would have more flexibility on the issue after November's election.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin appeared to try to remind Obama of his promise when he said Thursday that Moscow hopes that the U.S. president will take into account Russia's concerns about the U.S.-led NATO missile defense for Europe.
"We hope that President Obama after his re-election will be more flexible on the issue of taking into the account the opinions of Russia and others regarding a future configuration of NATO's missile defense," Rogozin told an international conference in Moscow.
Russia has urged the U.S. to provide guarantees that any future shield is not aimed against it and threatened to target elements of the U.S. shield with missiles if no agreement is reached.
Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Thursday the U.S. promises to inform Moscow about details of the shield weren't enough, adding that Moscow will continue pushing for firm guarantees from Washington.

"This design by Berthon reveals various characteristic features of the fin de siecle (end of the century). The woman with long, flowing hair is stylized as a fragile, lilywhite 'princess.' The lily, delicately chased like a jewel, was frequently chosen as a symbol of innocent, spring like beauty and purity. Symbolism was predominant in poetry. The ideals of the 'happy few' were to remain aloof from the turmoil of the present with its restless masses and to achieve a way of life charged with spiritual emotion. The name 'L'Ermitage' is typical of a periodical, which upholds these ideals. The style, somewhat like framed stained-glass " (Wine Spectator p.42)

For Dietary Supplementation: PEOPLE YOU HAVE TO DRINK TONS OF WATER WITH THIS VITAMIN OR ELSE. Biotin will give you acne. It will cause severe headaches. It will make you nauseous, and you will complain it doesn't work and give up. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE DON'T GET RESULTS. In reality your doing it wrong if your not getting enough water! It has worked wonders for me. I have lost hair due to medications and stress. I started noticing results in two weeks (eyelashes). Two months (scalp). And you will get hair growth everywhere. My hair has never looked more healthier.

For Dietary Supplementation: Biotin is pure bliss. I have been taking it everyday at 5000 mg. It has definitely made improvement in my nails and hair. I have been taking it for a few months and my hair has grown almost two inches. Reading tons of negative reviews on other sites at first made me think that biotin would barely do anything, but that was wrong biotin definitely helped my hair, skin, and nails! Taking this everyday and sticking with it really makes a difference!

For Dietary Supplementation: I am 54 years old and have not had acne since I was a teenager. After only 2 days of taking 5000mg, my nose broke out in large red rosacea type pimples. I stopped the vitamin and did not get any more pimples.

Nearly two months after his arrest, veteran Portland police Officer Scott E. Elliott resigned Tuesday after a 22-year career with the bureau.
Elliott pleaded not guilty April 9 to online sexual corruption of a child, three counts of luring a minor, and four counts of encouraging child sex abuse. He was arrested on March 29.Elliott, 50, who was most recently assigned to East Precinct's afternoon relief patrol, had his police powers removed upon arrest by Multnomah County Sheriff's deputies.
His online communications with a minor female were intercepted by authorities, police and prosecutors said.
Elliott was one of a number of officers assigned at East Precinct to help register sex offenders, part of the bureau's Sex Offender Registration Detail. He also had worked as a firearms instructor for police cadets in the past, and had trained officers in the use of less-lethal weapons.
Elliott remains in custody on $500, 000 bail. A trial date originally had been set for Tuesday, but was postponed.

A 200 MHz two channel spectrometer is earmarked specially for student training.
The Chemistry NMR Facility is maintained and run by the Facility Manager and the Associate Manager in addition to other experienced and dedicated staff. Basic troubleshooting and in-house repair on instruments are performed with the active help of electronic and machine shops, to keep instrument down time to a minimum. Regular user training sessions are offered on the safe and efficient operation of spectrometers. The facility manager also provides research consultation and helps with user application requests.

If a female employee is expecting & her salary is such that she is covered under the ESIC benefit but in between her increment takes place & she is not under the ESIC benefit any more so will the company reimburse her or she has to claim it under the ESIC act because (The contribution is for period of April 12 to September 12 but the benefit period for this contribution is January 2013 to 30th June 2013). The female employee is currently 7 months pregnant
There is contributory period of ESIC from April to September and October to March . And beneficiary period from Jan to June and July to Dec.
If one has made contribution from October 12 to March 13 she will get benefit till Dec 13.
we cannot stop the esic contribution if increment takes place in Jan we have to continue deduction till March.
Hope your query is solved. All the best to you.
Trupti rightly answered regarding when to stop contributions.
Seniors please correct in case am wrong.
Greetings of the day!
I fully agree with your first part that Trupti ji has correctly answered the query. However, with due respect to you Sir, I differ with your remaining part.
According to section 65 of ESI Act, an employee is not entitled to receive two benefits at the same time for same period. Where an employee is entitled to more than one benefit, he or she has to choose which one of them to receive.
Section 5A of MB Act says, every women entitled to the MB under this Act shall, notwithstanding the application of ESI Act, continue to be so entitled until she becomes qualified to claim MB under ESI Act.
please tell about maternity benefit and esi act in this.
as per the law the company has to pay 3 months basic to an employee , but even if she covered under the esi the company has to pay the same ?
Varghese Mathew
Is that if an employee join with ESIC benefit and after some time his or her Salary cross the ESIC limit , is that he or she will be eligible for the ESIC benefi?
Please help

If you've ever sat up late at night wondering what would happen if David Bowie had a baby with Seven of Nine, lo!
Here's Interview magazine, in which Emma Stone answers that very mystery. The baby would have eyes that wrap clear around the sides of her head like a beautiful giant race of praying mantises from Venus!
And the baby would have earrings like space thorns, eyeliner like Pat Benatar and some sort of collar designed by Chanel!
See what Emma Stone wore for Andrew Garfield's birthday!
Anyone who lived through the '80s and liked it will love this photo spread, and that would be us, so, yeah, we love it. Love the earrings, which we are told are by Eddie Borgo. Love that collar thing, which really is by Chanel.
And inside the mag, the retro-futuristic flow continues, thanks to looks from Lanvin, Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga.
If this is what a high-fash alien invasion looks like, bring it on.

gives a position at which f is minimized subject to the constraints cons.
constrains x to be in the region reg.
Details and OptionsDetails and Options
- ArgMin returns a list of the form .
- ArgMin[…,{x,y,…},…] is effectively equivalent to {x,y,…}/.Last[Minimize[…,{x,y,…},…].
- cons can contain equations, inequalities or logical combinations of these.
- The constraints cons can be any logical combination of:
lhs==rhs equations lhs!=rhs inequations or inequalities {x,y,…}∈reg region specification Exists[x,cond,expr] existential quantifiers - If f and cons are linear or polynomial, ArgMin will always find a global minimum.
- ArgMin[{f,cons},x∈reg] is effectively equivalent to ArgMin[{f,cons∧x∈reg},x].
- For , the different coordinates can be referred to using Indexed[x,i].
- ArgMin will return exact results if given exact input.
- If ArgMin is given an expression containing approximate numbers, it automatically calls NArgMin.
- If the minimum is achieved only infinitesimally outside the region defined by the constraints, or only asymptotically, ArgMin will return the closest specifiable point.
- If no domain is specified, all variables are assumed to be real.
- x∈Integers can be used to specify that a particular variable can take on only integer values.
- If the constraints cannot be satisfied, ArgMin returns {Indeterminate,Indeterminate,…}.
- N[ArgMin[…]] calls NArgMin for optimization problems that cannot be solved symbolically.

Family Program - Families Helping Military FamiliesLocation: University of Central Florida, Orlando FL The Family Program at UCF is working on understanding family stress and resiliency. We are inviting families to aid us in understanding stress and resiliency by participating in a one-time assessment study. In addition to helping other families, your family will receive an assessment of stress and family functioning and financial compensation of $100, ($20 at assessment and $80 at the completion of participation). This includes a clinical interview, questionnaires about mood, anxiety, and stress, and, for the children, collection of saliva samples and monitoring of sleep using a special wristwatch. The majority of the assessment is completed at home in about 7 minutes a day for one week. All of the information collected will be used to help our military families get the resources they need to cope with deployment periods. For more information or to make an appointment to participate, please call or email Theresa Trombly at: 407.823.1063 or firstname.lastname@example.com. This research program is running for the next six months to a year. Who qualifies to participate:

And Still We Rise: Race, Culture and Visual ConversationsLocation: The Orange County Regional History Center, Orlando FL And Still We Rise: Race, Culture and Visual Conversations | February 7 – May 3, 2015 Using the powerful medium of story quilts, "And Still We Rise: Race, Culture and Visual Conversations" narrates nearly four centuries of African American history, from the first slave ships to the first African American president and beyond. Through 69 quilts from more than 60 artists of the Women of Color Quilters Network, the exhibition reveals the stories of freedom's heroes, ranging from Phillis Wheatley to Frederick Douglass to the Tuskegee Airmen. Story quilting is an art form that has derived in part from a long, rich history in Ohio and goes beyond the simple quilting patterns many people may be familiar with. Story quilting expands on traditional textile-arts techniques to record, in fabric, events of personal or historical significance. Through the accessibility of their colors, patterns and symbols, the quilts of "And Still We Rise" relate narratives that enable conversations about sensitive topics from our national history, furthering the discussion of racial reconciliation in America. Exhibit Hours – February 7-May 3, 2015 Cost: Admission is $12. View Map & Details |

In short, the pill empowered women by giving them pretty reliable control over their biology. The result was discomfiting for those who praise domination, especially those who themselves are not at the top of the baboon troop, and so desperately need underlings to dominate. Traditionally women have served that function for the mid- and low-level tyrants.
No wonder they hate contraception and ignore its role in treating women's physical health since that acknowledgement interferes with their hatred of its role in empowering them. But in giving in to their hatreds and fears, they are alarming more normal human beings and some are beginning to hit back.
As for Limbaugh, I think future historians will identify this as his "McCarthy Moment." Senator Joe McCarthy was a nationally admired (by the right wing of the time ) bully, destroying careers and flailing wildly at anyone who disagreed with him. Then the Army-McCarthy hearings took him a step too far. McCarthy attacked the U.S. military as communist infiltrated to a dangerous degree. Even some of his supporters could see the viciousness, the bullying, and the factual emptiness behind his attacks. McCarthy's reign of nastiness was over. Now it seems to be Limbaugh's turn.
It will be very fitting if the nihilists on the right meet their Waterloo by mindlessly attacking women. If they do we can feel good, at least most of us can, as being a vital part of one of the most transformative dimensions of the great cultural renewal the '60s initiated: the revival and growth of feminine values and eventually power in a society desperately needing this change.

Port Vila is the capital and largest settlement in the island nation of Vanuatu. It has a population of about 40,000 inhabitants. The city is located on the south coast of the island of Efate and is the commercial centre of Vanuatu. The area where Port Vila is located nowadays has been inhabited by Melanesian people for thousands of years and these days functions as an important port and trade centre for the country. Also, most people who arrive in Vanuatu independently spend a few days here before moving on to the islands and beaches.
Port Vila has a pleasant tropical climate with hot and humid conditions but the sea breeze is welcome. November to May is the hotter season when most of the rain falls as well. Rain can fall in every month on the other hand and even the driest months averages 20 days of some rainfall. Rainfall averages about 2,360 millimetres per year, and the wettest month is April. The driest month is September. There are 113 wet days in an average year. The area also has south-east trade winds. During the June to October period it gets slightly cooler with daytime temperatures around 26 °C and night temperatures even dropping a few degrees below 20 °C.

Taxis are plentiful within Port Vila. Fare is calculated per taxi. There are standard fares for journeys to and from the airport to most accommodation around Port-Vila a list of which should be available in the arrivals section of the airport (1500VT to the city centre). Around Port Vila, taxi's can be hailed for journeys. Price is calculated by a meter, and is usually around 500vt for short journeys.
In Port Vila the buses are van and mini-buses with a red B on the left side of the number plate. They largely traverse the main road take you directly to your destination. There are no scheduled services and are perhaps best thought of as cheap, but shared taxis. Wave at them to stop one heading in the direction you want to go. They are plentiful within the city and outside the city you can usually arrange for a bus to meet you at a particular time. If one looks full, just wait for the next one. The buses are used by locals, but are very friendly, cheap, and easy to use by tourists. Fares are usually calculated per person. The cost is usually 150 vatu per person unless you are traveling a longer distance, e.g. Mele Cascades - in which case expect to pay 200 vatu per person. There are significantly fewer buses on the road on Sundays.
There are also smaller vans travelling in and around Port Vila, which travel certain routes and are generally safe and the cheapest way to get around. For 100 Vatu they will take you one way to where ever you need to go along their route. To get on board you simply find a marked stop along the main road and when a white van drives past flag it down and pay the 100 Vatu.
A trip to Port Vila, Vanuatu, is not complete without a night out at French Restaurant and Piano Bar L'Houstalet, on Elluk Road, Port Vila. It is one of the most popular casual restaurants on the island since its opening in 1972, where host Clement Martinez will make sure that your night is one to remember! House specialities include escargot, coconut crab, flying fox, pizza, pasta and traditional French desserts.

~White Wednesday # 76~
I know I'm very early today, but I figured you guys would rather I put up the links early rather than late. I'll be up at Monticello's all day setting up for the Christmas show that starts this Friday, Dec.3rd at 8 am. I took all my big things up on Sunday and things were already looking amazing. It's a must see show and it runs through the Dec. 26th.
I've spent the last couple weeks glittering, glueing, sewing, painting and trying to come up with some great things for my booth. I'll leave you with a few sneak peeks at some things I've been working on that you'll find in my booth. Enjoy! xoxo K.
47 comments:
This is the first time I've participated in White Wednesday. My post is under "sparkly,silverandcream" and somehow the posts for the days after this particular one showed up as well. Sorry! Check under the date November 22, 2010 for the correct one. Can you tell me what I did wrong please? Thanks, Pamela
ReplyDeleteI am sure your booth will be one of the big hits at Monticello. Again, I so wish I could see this holiday event. Anyone within driving distance it is so worth it, don't miss it! There are so many wonderful shops in town that a 4-5 hour drive is still not too far to travel to see all these amazing stores, esp Monticello. Although Thea's is another must see!
Happy White Wednesday Kathleen.

Changes in Hyperprolactinemia Secondary to Antipsychotics After Switching to Quetiapine
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Hyperprolactinaemia is a common side effect of some antipsychotics (APS), including some atypicals. Clinical consequences of hyperprolactinaemia are broad including amenorrhea, galactorrhea, tender breasts, gynecomastia and sexual dysfunction. Less known but also present is the increased cardiovascular risk, specially in women, disorders of osteoporotic type and a potential increased risk of breast and prostate cancer.
Despite this growing evidence, there are no consistent published data in order to adopt evidence-based decisions that may be beneficial for the patient.
This naturalistic observational 6 months follow-up study on patients with APS-induced hyperprolactinemia aims to obtain more information about the switching approach in cases of hyperprolactinemia secondary to APS and to better establish the role of switching to quetiapine (APS not related with the increase prolactin levels) in this problem.

Patients diagnosed of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder with APS-related hyperprolactinaemia who have been switched to quetiapine based on the clinician's judgement
Detailed Description:
Hyperprolactinaemia is a common side effect of some antipsychotics (APS), including some atypicals. Clinical consequences of hyperprolactinaemia include most remarkably the appearance of amenorrhea, galactorrhea, tender breasts, and gynecomastia - associated with dysmorphophobia and psychological disorders in some cases, particularly in men-. Another common side effect is sexual dysfunction, with decreased libido, anorgasmia, and in men, impotence, reduced volume ejaculated and even backward ejaculation. Less known but also present is the increased cardiovascular risk, specially in women, disorders of osteoporotic type. Furthermore, several authors have related hyperprolactinemic states with the development of breast cancer including a potential worse prognosis of it (Mandala, 1999; Clevenger 2003; Mujagic, 2004), and with the development of metastatic prostate cancer and resistance to hormone therapy in men (Lisonni, 2005)
Despite this growing evidence and the fact that APS with no apparent increase of prolactin levels exist, such as quetiapine or aripiprazole, many clinicians don't even monitor prolactin levels in patients following APS treatment. And when they do, they find there are no consistent published data in order to adopt evidence-based decisions that may be beneficial for the patient.
This naturalistic observational 6 months follow-up study on patients with APS-induced hyperprolactinemia aims to obtain more information about the switching approach in cases of hyperprolactinemia secondary to APS and to better establish the role of switching to quetiapine in this problem.
