10 Smart Steps for a Roadside Emergency
10 Smart Steps for a Roadside Emergency
You hit a massive pothole and hear your tire pop.
You're on the highway and smoke starts billowing from your engine.
Your check engine light comes on and something smells funny in your car.
You hit a massive bug and it clogs your intake valve.
This stuff happens all the time (ok, maybe not the bug one)…and when it does you can react one of two ways; you can panic or you can be smart.
To handle roadside emergencies the smart way, follow these 10 steps:
1. Get off the road
First things first, if you're driving and something happens to your car, move off the road quickly (and safely). Get out of the flow of traffic. Look for a wide shoulder, emergency lane, rest stop, exit, or parking lot. You always want to move towards the furthest right lane or shoulder. But even if it means destroying a blown tire or wheel well in the process, you need to pull over! Just remember to never stop in traffic or places that are hard to see, like blind corners, over hills, or on narrow roads and bridges.
2. Let people know there's something wrong
Find the hazard button in your car (t's the big one with the red triangle on it) and put your hazard lights on. This'll let people know you've got car issues and not just taking a little mid-trip snooze.
3. Don't leave the car until you're out of traffic
Never get out of the car until you've safely moved it out of the flow of traffic. If you can't get your car out of harm's way, don't get out, even to pop the hood or check out the damage.
4. Safely exit the car
If it's safe, get out of the car on the opposite side of traffic, even if you have to crawl over the passenger seat. Like getting out of a taxi, you never want to open the car door on the traffic side! Once you're out of the car though, go ahead and pop the hood, check out your tire, examine the damage and attempt any kind of repairs (if you know what you're doing). Generally speaking though, it's safer to keep everyone clear of the car and wait for help to come.
5. Increase your visibility
You may want to mark your location with flares or triangles. At the very least you'll want to raise your vehicle's hood. This'll let everyone know that you're having car problems and need help.
6. Call Farmers Roadside Assistance
We're here to help, 24/7. So put this number in your phone and call (800) 435-7764 any time for a jump start or tow to the nearest vehicle repair location.
7. Stay with your car
It's important not to leave your car. It may take some time, but it's more practical to meet help, a tow truck, or the police at the scene of your disabled vehicle than at a nearby burger joint.
8. Keep some emergency supplies in your car
Take a lesson from the Boy Scouts and always be prepared! Keep a blanket and first aid kit (or at least some water) in your car. And if you know how to use them, it's also a good idea to have a spare tire, jack, fix-a-flat, and other simple repair tools in the car.
9. Put your hood down
If you're done changing the tire or the tow-truck is on the scene, put the hood down and store any flares or other emergency signals. Otherwise a driver may try to risk slowing down to help.
10. Be green! Clean up the scene
Clean up whatever packaging, trash, and debris you left around the area. Littering is bad news, and abandoning a broken car part is wasteful and could be a road hazard for other drivers.

LUBBOCK, TX -- Lubbock police released more information and the audio from a 9-1-1 call concerning the Sunday night stabbing that left Elizabeth Garcia, 28, in critical condition.
An official statement said officers "found the victim in her apartment with multiple stab wounds to her torso and head."
Police said Juan Gilberto Mora, 32, is the suspect. A "wanted" poster described Mora as "armed and dangerous." It also described him as 6'2" tall and 303 pounds. Mora's most recent jail booking sheet lists his address as the Toledo Court Apartments, the same location as the stabbing.
"The suspect fled the scene before officers arrived," a police statement said.
The audio of the 9-1-1 call starts with an operator saying, "What's your emergency?" and a caller responding, "I think she's dead."
"We need an ambulance," the caller continued. "She's got something stuck in her head and she's bleeding."
As of late Monday afternoon the search for Mora continued. Anyone with information can call the police at 806-775‐2427 or Crime Line at 806-741-1000.

» Overview
Concrete is most vital material in modern construction. It has versatile properties like easy mouldability, high compressive strength and long lasting durability. These properties of concrete have made it most popular construction material for all types of civil engineering works. The latest developments in concrete technology have made it possible to use it in intricate and architecturally complex structures, requiring high degree of performance and aesthetic appearance.
In addition to normal concrete, other varieties in use are, high strength and high performance concrete, self compacting, light weight, high density, fibre reinforced, polymer, coloured concrete etc.
The ingredients of good and bad concrete are the same. The difference lies in the technology used for production, transportation and placement. The making of concrete is an art as well as a science. Science because all the ingredients are proportioned as per the standard codes of practice to get the targeted strength & durability, and an art because in addition to accurate proportioning, quality of concrete depends on the way it is mixed, placed, compacted, finished, cured and protected. Ready mix Concrete(RMC) technology results in a perfect blend of the Art and Science.
In all the developed as well as most of the developing nations, use of RMC for construction has made it possible to achieve speed and quality. The advent of commercial RMC in India is about a decade old, but in recent years it has become the preferred choice of architects, engineers and consumers.
UltraTech Concrete is committed to provide customised high quality RMC for ensuring speedy construction.

Abstract: | We compared two ways of remote participation in a meeting. One in which a video-connection existed between the remote participant and the collocated participants and one in which the remote participant was represented by an iCat. We asked the participants to rate the conversations on various dimensions. The remote participants tended to prefer the meetings with the iCat whereas the co-located participants preferred the video connection on most dimensions. |

Add Punch to Floors
A painted staircase "runner" can bring bold color to a small space. Try a shade that links the upstairs and downstairs, or consider a combination of tones packing a visual punch, such as these stripes. (On a practical front, dark hues will cover any dings.)

Don't Forget Outdoor Spaces
Often outdoor patios and porches are the last spaces to be considered. But they can be the best places to explore bright color and pattern because of their openness and natural setting. An arrangement of hydrangeas brings out the colors in a piece of French ticking that covers a table on the loggia.

Remnants of four graphic fabrics add drama when placed in metal frames and hung in a grid. When choosing fabrics, stick to bold, overscale patterns, since small florals will lose presence when viewed from afar.

Iceland's First Lady gave some anxious moments to the Mumbai police when she went incommunicado for a few hours from her suite at the Hotel Trident.
Dorrit Moussaieff, wife of Iceland President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson, went "missing" for six hours from the hotel on Monday, following which police were put on alert.
"We were about to launch a manhunt for the President's wife across the city, when she walked into the hotel with shopping bags," a senior officer at Marine Drive police station said.
Ms. Dorrit, he told PTI, had gone for shopping and had visited a spa.
The President and his wife, on an official visit to the country, had made a low-key stopover in the city and attended a dinner at the Raj Bhavan on January 12.
While Ms. Dorrit arrived in Mumbai on Monday morning, the President had reached later in the evening.
At around 1130 hours, Ms. Dorrit suddenly disappeared from her suite. "A team of around 25 policemen deployed for her immediately informed us at the police station after which more men were pressed into action," the official said.
Sources in Mumbai police's Protection Branch said as the First Lady did not want a heavy police escort, only a few from the Branch accompanied her. The matter was a closely guarded secret and even policemen deployed for her security did not get a whiff of it.

What Would Grandpa Say?
I grew up in a rural environment, sharing a home with my mother, two siblings, and my maternal grandparents. We had a variety of animals (rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and cats), came from a farming family (so spent a lot of time on my uncle's dairy farm), and spent most of our time walking and playing outside, gardening, camping, and fishing.
Our dogs came in many varieties - the first dog I lived with was a Brittany - when my mother and father got married, they got each other puppies as their wedding gifts and Brandy, that wedding gift, was my first best friend. Eventually, we had a variety of other dogs - Beagles, Dobermans, Lhasa Apsos, All-American Mixed Breeds, Miniature Poodles, and eventually, mom settled on English Springers as her breed of choice. It was a different time and culture then, our dogs practically lived off leash and none of us would ever have dreamed of taking a dog to "school." We were, in fact, quite happy if our dogs would sit, lie down, and "shake" (give paw).
We did all the "wrong" things - we fed our dogs the whatever was on sale at the grocery store because finances were a real issue. We let our dogs run around outside, off leash and unsupervised. We got puppies from pet stores or cheap newspaper ads. We didn't know about "socializing" our puppies to a variety of people, animals, and environments. Despite all our mistakes, our dogs were friendly and had a relatively great quality of life - full days spent romping through field, forest, and stream with neighborhood kids and other dogs, chasing turkeys and rabbits, coming home muddy and exhausted.
We were every bit as untrained as our dogs. We didn't know that there are many things that "people think dogs like, but dogs actually don't like." (more on this in a future entry!) Even as a child I was "magnetized" to dogs. While I never got bit, I did receive a few warning growls or snaps throughout my youth. Inevitably, being the young, dramatic thing that I was, I would run to my grandfather, crying. My grandfather was certainly a "man's man," gruff on the outside, funny, great hugger on the inside. In these times of terror, he would usually scoop me up into his lap and say, "Well, what did you do to him?"
Young, dramatic Casey would inevitably feign horror at the suggestion that somehow I had caused this creature to "lash out unpredictably." "Nothing, grandpa, I swear!" I'd respond emphatically. While outwardly denying the possibility that I may somehow have caused this event, I mentally replayed the scenario and, even at a young age, usually knew that I did something which the animal didn't like - touched him while he was chewing a bone, for instance. As an adult, with the information I have available to me now, I know that resource guarding can and should be prevented through training, but back then, these problems were generally managed, "just leave the dog alone when he has a bone," and so we did.
I've seen a huge cultural change since then. In the culture in which I was raised, the perception was, "if a dog bites, you likely did something to provoke him." The predominant societal view currently seems to assert that, "if a dog bites, he is inherently and unpredictably aggressive, a threat to society."
My professional experience supports my grandfather's view - most bites are, in fact, provoked, if we allow the dog to define provocation. The dog that is "inherently and unpredictably aggressive" is a rare creature, indeed. Most dogs are highly predictable. Virtually all dog bites are also highly predictable, and could be prevented through education - educating dogs, owners, and members of the community. While severe dog bites are rare, promoting safety through information dissemination will make them even rarer still.
Here are some steps you can take to prevent dog bites and keep dogs and people in your community safe when in the presence of strange dogs:
- never approach a dog that is tethered or behind a fence
- never approach a dog that is off leash in public
- always ask owner permission before interacting with a dog
- always ask dog permission before interacting with a dog (more on this later!)
- never approach or attempt to touch a dog that is in possession of food or a toy
- avoid approaching dogs that are in their own yards unsupervised, tethered, fenced or not
- give dogs space - many dogs are tethered, leashed, fenced, or otherwise confined in a bite incident. When in doubt of safety, stay out of teeth range.
Tomorrow, we'll talk more about asking for the dog's permission and later in the week, will discuss some "do's" and "don'ts" of meeting new pooches.

Valencia seeks rescue of more than 4.5 bil. eurosAFP August 31, 2012, 11:54 am TWN MADRID--Spain's eastern Valencia region will ask for a rescue of more than 4.5 billion euros (US$5.6 billion) from the central government, a spokesman said Thursday.
"Yes, I confirm the figure," the spokesman said when asked about Spanish media reports on the plea, which comes two days after northeastern Catalonia announced it would seek 5 billion euros. The regional president, Alberto Fabra, gave the figure while visiting a factory in the Valencian city of Castellon, he confirmed. Valencia had a debt of more than 20 billion euros at the end of 2011, equal to about 20 percent of its entire economic output. It faces debt repayments of 2.88 billion euros in the second half of 2012. The region had estimated its needs at 3.5 billion euros, but Fabra added "more than a billion" euros to cover monies owed by the region to municipalities. The request, which adds to a growing list of demands including Catalonia's, comes as Spain itself is in the sights of investors who fear Madrid will need a bailout to meet debt repayments due this autumn.

If you want to sing out, sing out with Yusuf Islam, more commonly known as Cat Stevens, who is finally back on a concert tour. It's a "Wild World," so get your Yusuf Islam tickets while you still can to see your favorite songs live like "The First Cut Is the Deepest." He doesn't come around often and Cat Stevens concert tickets are not going to last long.
About Yusuf Islam (Formerly Known As Cat Stevens) |
One of the biggest tours of the fall has been Yusuf Islam, and Cat Stevens tickets are in huge demand. After his conversion to Islam in 1977, the famous British musician Cat Stevens changed his name to Yusuf Islam. Selling his belongings and putting his music career on hold, he devoted his life to philanthropic and educational efforts within the Muslim community. Referred to by many as simply Yusuf, he has received many awards for his peace-making work. However, he couldn't stay away from music forever, and now the Yusuf Islam concert tour is hitting the road. In 2006, Yusuf returned to the charts with his album An Other Cup, followed by the release of Roadsinger in 2009. Now is your chance to see the legend in person, so get your tickets for Cat Stevens today! In June 2010 Yusuf went on a concert tour for the first time in 36 years, playing concerts across Australia and New Zealand. In 2011, he played a concert in Europe, and in 2012 he debuted a musical called Moonshadow in Australia, featuring music from his career. Those were big shows and Yusuf Islam concert tickets were incredibly popular. In April 2014, Yusuf was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Art Garfunkel for his successful work as artist Cat Stevens, some of which includes the songs "Wild World," "Peace Train," and "Father and Son." He recently announced the upcoming release of a new studio album Tell 'Em I'm Gone and a subsequent U.S. tour. |

PROMOTERS OF NIGERIAN MODERN NOVELS. 3 My Compliment to Eddy: "THE MOKO" YABA, LAGOS. A. Onwudiwe, P. 0 BOX 214, Onitsha/Nigeria. My Dear Eddy, During your absence 1 have exhausted most of these love letters and hope you may be most can- did to appreciate it and show to your most humble friends. Now I have resolved to write this few lines to you, me and the whole public. Therefore 1 put your name on it in sweet me- mory of our long blood relationship in those days when we are young, were most improbable than actual facts. Yours sincerely, A. Onwudiwe. INTRODUCTION. Most people do not make any attempt to write letter due to timidity or shyness and at times laziness Though, We cannot all hope to become writers of good books yet most people can try of course with some knowledge they have and much practice, they become of very nice letter writers, I, Eric Speedy Onwudiwe, have just made an attempt and hope to receive the letters of congra- talation from different parts of the region, The- most important thing in letter writing is the main aim of your letter. Observe some certain rules in opening and closing of your letter. In.. most cases in.the body, of your letter you must see that you observe certain things such as greetings and salutation according to the aim of your letter, and to whom you are addressing the letter. You can see below the following points numbered THESE ARE THE IMPORTANT PARTS OF A LETTER ONE: The salutation or greetings at the beginning of the letter. TWO: The heading or address of the writer. THREE: The object or body of a letter. FOUR: You must remember salutation at the end of the four letter. FIVE: Kindly remember to whom or the direction where the letter may be directed. SIX: Let us examine these parts and note the correct way to set them out on the writing sheets. SETTING OUT A LETTER Every letter is required to conform a certain conventions. The se mainly concern the way the letter commences and finishes. 1. (a) Beginning should always be made with the address, and no letter should ever be written without sender's address, not even when the or she is in a tremendous hurry. (b) when writing by hand, the address is placed on the right hand top part of the note paper. Usually it is written line after in what may be described as "Step down" fashion. (c) In setting out the address, note the following Points:- 2. (a) If the name of the house is given don't put it in inverted commas. Therefore, "Waterside" is wrong and Waterside is right. (b) After the number of the house put a comma. Thus, 3 Johnson Streetis preferable to 3 John- son Street, (b) After an abbreviated word, put a full stop.

You have been admitted to General Hospital Onitsha for Doctor's treatment. I trust that very soon things will take its shape again. May Almighty God help you to come out very soon.

This is a paradise Put God first of everything And with him and him alone every thing is possible. Thanks to my friends. TOAST: "Ah, come to me -I want you so! Why will you make me wait? The Golden sunsets burn and glow. The twilight moments come and go, I watch you wander to and fro, Why do you hesitate?" Let love and faith be held 'tween the pair Thanks to Emmanuel Emedo. Town, Ogbunka. TOAST Treasure indeed it is. To behold fiance of Choice, Of constant love and voice, As Terry dear for me. Two heads than one are better, When man and Woman agree, Mutually in love to share, Their joys and sorrows of life, Nothing desirable will come, Chaotic life prevails, When envious fiend to one suggest, To leave the Lord behind. What else is life to Mojah, What more is life to Terry, Than in Holy Wedlock to see, Both welded like gold and silver, Higher, higher will we climb. Up the mount of love, To bear the burden of life As the almighty above will design. HELLO! Chike Amechi.

That, that sparkles and intoxicates like wine A rule without sword A bind without a cord, Marriage with love is indeed natural, A thing of beauty is a joy for ever, Hello: Miss Monica Orji. Thanks. TOAST OF LOVE: True love always leads to the altar. Blessed is he that his sympathetic wife. For a man's wife is himself Hence shall a man leave father and mother And cleave to his wife, They two be in one flesh. Love from Elims. Onitsha. CHAPTER FIve A SORROWFUL TOAST. AN INFAMOUS BIRTH She had no friends to plead her cause No one at her side But only in heart courage and remorse And in her eyes rushed tears like the tide: As she fell hopelessly upon the moss, Gone were the old companions, And in her lips a prayer: In sincere forgiveness upon her companions, When behind the hills the sun went, Indeed and pitiable struggles, The spirit of a lady in angel's a i d produced triumphantly a Queen of the Island, The relative souls in heaven rejoiced while the. wave cheered the maiden's end. Thanks for friends. POEMS OF LOVE! LOVE WHERE IS THY POWER! Once we were so happy, and future so bright, Oh! what a change time can bring. But since I don't love you nor have you in heart, better not stay with you. I wish I had never been here, I wish I had never seen sunshine, I wish I had died as a baby, and then I will I never know you. 'Dear readers you can imagine what a change of world and time, for a lady to reject her loves for poverty sake". POEMS FOR INTELLIGENCE: Great ports and swarming cities There be by all the seas, With shipping in their harbours their quays. But we'd leave all behind us; To cruise the wild world round, And may be found an Island that Island that none else has found. If East or West we knew not, If North or South the line Ringed sound with whispering crowned with singing pines; But in that unsailed oceans, We know must surely be, Elizabeth must hope dead or living Who wait for none but us. 16 and bales lost and palm trees or Child or traces upon lonely HELLO!

My dear Com., My dear Comfort, it is quite a fortnight my darling, since I heard anything of you, why do you not write to me or is anything wrong within the family? I cannot think what it can be, for your letter being full of joy and happiness attracts me more especially when I expected in vain your next letter. Tell me if anything has gone bad. A line or so even to say you are even well or ill would assure me that you were never indifferent. As I told you before, I hope that our last topic is even green in your mind. I have read from many books where people marry even when in School, but they only make such promise and keep it dark till the stage of exposure comes. We shall marry e a ch other whenever time permits, I am sure you will not allow your father to know to our proposals. What of Cecllia and Emma? what are they saying of me? please help to con- vince Cecilia, so that your father will not force you to marry where you do not like, I hope that if you succeed them, by our own time we shall have less trouble. Wishing you all best of luck. Yours ever, Billy Young. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!!! A LETTER FROM EMEKA OKOYE A WORKER IN U.A.C. JOS. HE WRITES FOR LOVE, FROM JULIANA NWAFOR. UMUAHIA. THE LETTER READS:- Emeka Okoye, c/o Philip Johnson, Manager U.A.C., JOS. 16th April. Dear Miss Nwafor. Your letter reached me in time for christ- mas as also did the plum pudding your mother sent me. I have written to thank her, and thank you a thousand times for Poems and Ballads. It has always been a favourite of mine but now it will be forever doubly dear. I thought of you all at Christmas day, and wondered what you were doing and whether you were thinking of me. I remember our last Christmas. It seems only like yesterday. It is hard to think of your having win try weather. We are roasting in the heart. I can hardly get through my days' work at the U.A.C. provision store. It's so hot. I am looking forward to that tie. How sweet of you to work it for me. I hope you got letter in time and the little present. Tell Josephine she's not to leave till I return, it would be too bad if I were to miss her. I had three days leave at Christmas. 1 spent them at the Yola salt mine Nigeria I ate such a lot of fresh fish. 1 expect you all spent your Christmas crouching over the fire. How gladly I would have exchanged all our sun- shine just to be with you. I will be home in December just think of that. I am, Yours in-true-love Emeka Okoye. LOVE LETTER FROM MISS CHINWE OBU- MUNONYE TO HER BOY FRIEND BILLY UKA. ASKING FOR HIS LOVE HELLO! IT READS:- Miss Chinwe Obumunonye, 15 Broad Street, Apapa/Lagos, I st February, Dear Sweet Billy, This is to tell you that I am greatly disappoin- ted in the way you treated me whenever you visit me, I remember too well that on more than five occa- sions have I asked you for your love and to spend the night with me and there was no time you hadn't an excuse to give. If that is the way you make your own love, I am afraid you wouldn't even keep your own wife happy for without that very particular part of love making for whicn I am aspiring them it is goodbye to peace and harmony: I don't know how you control your own self. But for myself, I always find it very difficult to control my sexual emotions whenever you are seated by my side. Remember that without this very physical section of love making sweet so Billy love will be absolutely meaningless. Mark you, it is what other people have begged me to do with them for several pounds that I am now asking of you, and I think this is enough. Sweet heart Billy. May you have change of heart. I am, your Girl, Chinwe Obumunonye. BILLY AFTER RECEIVING CHINWE'S LETTER, A REPLY FOR HER LETTER. THE LETTER GOES LIKE THIS:- Billy Ama the London Boy, 14 Gordon Street, Mainland Calabar. 21 May.

I shall be spending my holidays in our home town and I shall give you time for our meeting and vacation. Let us hope tot-meet again, I am, Yours in true love, Billy The London Boy.

At any rate my dear, I promise to love you as long as life remains in me. Your early reply makes everything short. Your Sweet heart, Agnes Chukwus. CHAPTER TEN ADVICE BY THE WRITER TO THE GENTLE- MEN AND LADIES OF NOWADAYS: There are many people who do not know really what love is, so many people are secret enemies to love affairs. Bu; not that they hate some people. But they do not know exactly what they often say. They may like someone and they mistakenly use the word love for it. Some people are very ungrateful when you do them good they instead reward you with bad. Life and love are the happiness of friends. But when temptation comes, friendship some- times ends in shame. When someone befriends you suddenly, try first to study the fellow very carefully in order to find out whether his or her love on you is a true one. It is very dangerous to trust anyone whether she or he loves you. Perhaps, there is some money that you will receive from the fellow. At times you are seeking for something from the fellow. It is very dangerous to love as an animal, or beast. You know things are very hard, Temptation always comes without notice. If you are not careful you become useless. Not all people who drive about in their cars are gentlemen and not all ladies who put clean and costly dresses are gentle ladies. It is not easy_ to get a real good someone who is going to love you within his or her real heart or mind. Thanks to You All. LOVE WITH ITS FULL MEANINGS Love sparkles and intoxicates like wine. These, are different kinds of love, some are secret love, that is not the sweet love. Love has its own disadvantages and it has advantages. You have better love and as said before sweet love. Real love is blind. Love counts no error. Love can make and unmake that is why we say it is blind. A real love does not want his or her friend to spend unnecessarily. It needs his friends progress either in school or business. It does not seek for downfall of any person. Real love is happy when he or she hears of anything good out from his or her friend. A real love must see that he or she shares trouble that comes to his or her fellow friend. He or she cries when it is the time for crying, and laughs when it is time for laughing. And there are so many times eventually counting one after the other cannot contain in this small pamphlet. So my dear readers, please read carefully this nice booklet. HELLO CHERIO. HERE COMES A LETTER FROM A WO- MAN BY NAME PAULINA, SHE HAS GOT MARRIED AND YET WRITES LOVE LETTERS, AND EVEN SEARCHING FOR MORE FRIENDS. 'IT IS BAD FOR MARRIED WOMEN' 57 Owerri Road, Fegge-Onitsha, 23rd. June. My Morning Star, For a very long time I have been eagered to write you. I do not know how I will start to describe your attractive face. Your lovely face; pushed me to write and contest for your love. Please don't neglect my letter or break my heart for seeking for your love. Kindly, expect me as soon as it is possible for me to come. I mean it. I have something to tell you but chance does not permit me all the time my husband is going to my town on Sunday morning, for their meetings: so there is a lot of chance for us to enjoy ourselves. You can send your boy to my shed on Tuesday with a letter. You know that you are living lonely in the house, and my coming means a lot on your own-side. Please see that you have better records for music, you know I use to dance very well. Have no fear. A MAN'S EXCUSE FOR WRITING TO A LADY Dear Miss Caroline, I wonder whether you would do me a great favour? I have two tickets for the theatre, for next Saturday evening. By asking you to accom- pany me, would I be presuming too much ? 1 can assure you that if you come it would give me considerable pleasure. I am hoping that you will say "Yes" on hearing from you, I could arrange the details. Yours sincerely. Basil Okeke. A LADY'S REPLY TO THE PREVIOUS LETTERS Dear Mr Okereke, It is extremely kind of you to think of me and I most willingly accept your invitation to the theatre. If it would not be taking you too much out your way may I suggest that you call for me at 8.30 p. m. that would give us ample time to reach theatre comfortably. Or, if you have other plans, I shall be pleased to fall in with them. Let me say, in conclusion, that I am looking forward to the evening very much. Yours sincerely, Iyinebuogwe-Oke AN ABSENT LOVER'S LETTER My dearest Emily, I have at last a moment to myself and I am making the most of in by writing to you, First, I hope you are absolutely fit and second, I wonder If you miss me as much as I miss you, for your own sake, 1 hope don't. This job is quite a pleasant one and, so far every body has been very decent to me; but, darling, 1 do miss you. That wicked smile of yours haunts me and 1 would give anything to be able go clasp you in my arms. At the moment 1 feel as though I can't go on with you such a long way off. But it's got to be done: I must make a success of this job, because as soon I have made a certain of it 1 'm going to ask you to be my little wife. What do you say to that? I cannot think about such things without a lumb coming to my throat; so darling imagine I am kissing you. Good night. Your-Iove, Billy Yellow, A LETTER FROM A GIRL BY NAME LILY OKEREKE TO HER BOY FRIEND NAMED ROBINSON. THE LETTERS READS:- My Sweet Robinson, "The love I have for you is that which never fades. The love I have for you is that which stands the test" Yes Robinson, so said an English Author. I know you must have been waiting for me as we had arranged to meet in your room today by 6 p. m. And I know too, you must have begun to entertain fears about my faithfulness. It is a Pity I am unable to turn up by the agreed time due to some unavoidable circumstances, Don't be afraid for I must not fail to turn up today whether at the risk of my being killed on the road. My love for you I have often told you is that which can't be destroyed for ever in the history of love making have I read of any girl who gave her entire body to a boy friend as I have done in your own case. Even Juliet didn't love Romeo more than I love you now. Just last night as I was on bed, 1 saw you in a vision but as 1 woke up, I see if you were really in bed with me 1 discovered to my utmost sur- prise that it was a mere dream. So Robinson, don't be worried for 1 will be coming any time from now. Cherio Your-Love Lily Okereke, A LETTER FROM B. C. OKEREKE ASKING MISS PAULINA FOR THEIR RECONCILIATION AFTER SOME CLASH. My darling Paulina, It is with great pains in my heart that I am writing you this letter in order to tell you that 1 have got yours through your junior brother Mike. Infact that letter of yours was a great relief to me in that it came to me at a time when my heart was beating for you. It is a fact that we clashed some days ago, but you may not believe me if I tell you now that I could ,have approached you for a long time now for reconciliation if not for the thought of how my head will hang down in shame when I approach you for that. Ob! sweet Paulina, if only you will be faith- ful, then 1 vow you will never share my heart with any other girl for my imagination is always beaten when I start to think of you, to think of those lovely chaped lips of yours, those diamond blue eyes of yours and to think of those cool protruding, soft balls on your chest. Yes, you know too well that what led to our clash was your pleasure for immediate marriage, but you had not the courage to listen to why I opposed it. Oh! Paulina that we must wed is as certain as the daily darkness but I do not want to live a wretched life hence I asked you to postpone all talks about it till after Christmas. You are mine and always mine for ever. So God has joined us together, and remember that what ever God has joined together, no one should put assunder, I know that there must be some seductive lips and arms who have been indulging in the exploition of our unfortunate clash so that they may gain your love. Do tell those lips and arms however seductive they may be, that you are mine and mine alone. Dear Paulina, it was the very minute you left my room that day that I start to blame myself on why I allowed that clash to take place at all. That being the case I want you to turn up now that we might renew our love and that my heart may cease to worry me for it is in you and you alone that I can have my consolation. I know you were offended with me that day but I am happy you have forgotten all about that childish clash for it was as unfortunate as it was unavoidable. Hoping to see you now in my house. Thanks. I am, Yours in love B. C. Okeke. LOVE! LOVE!! LOVE!!! MISS MARY WRITES TO MR JONNY ASKING FOR HIS LOVE. Sweet Jonny, It gives me much pleasure in writing )ou this letter through which I pray you may realise that my love is still burning for you. Oh Jonny you can punish me through any n.eans you like for but not by ceasing to love me for that alone is enough to cause my death. I have offended you my darling but I beg you in the name of God to pardon me for to err is human and to forgive is divine. Do you still remember that first night on which we met and the lovely hours we spend to- gether? since that day we clashed I have dreamt of you, I have thought of you and 1 have visualized your image so many times that I've fo u n d the odium to unbearable for hence I am now begging for forgiveness. To be candid Jonny, no second will left un- counted until you sit side by side with me again for when I look out and see plenty couples strolling the streets with homous gaiety and jolity, I start to think of why it should be our lot to be parted. I love you Jonny and if only for your sake, I am prepared to give up all I have even my precious life. So my dear sweet heart I want you to tell me what your mind is, that I might not bother my heart indiscriminately. I am, Yours all the time. Mary Ebele. MR. NATHAN AMALA WRITES TO THE PARENTS OF MISS MARTHA ASKING THEIR CONSENT. Dear Mr. & Mrs. Okeke, I do not think this letter Will come as a sur- prise to you since I believe you have long recog- nised that a very sincere friendship has spunged up between Martha and me. Recently we have been discussing the further and both of us are quite agreed that our love for each other is of the real and lasting kind, and that life together will bring us untold happiness. We have talked of being engaged and Martha has very kindly suggested that I may write to you on the matter. She says that if we have your permission, She is perfectly agreeable. May I hope that you will give us your permi- ssion and your blessing too, so that we may take the step which will bring us so much lasting happiness? may perhaps add that much of the joy of being so after in the company of Martha has resulted from the consideration way. I have always been welcomed in your home, and it is something I very fully appreciated. I need not say that your reply will be anxiously awaited With kind regards Yours sincerely Nathan Amala BUSINESS LETTERS TO A BOOK SELLER ORDERING A BOOK, PER V. P. P.

text: Recalculating Cancer Steven J. Burakoff, M.D. This year, 562,340 people – more than 1,500 each day – will die from cancer in the United States, and 1.5 million will be diagnosed. Cancer is often described by very large numbers like these. But such figures obscure a fundamental shift in thinking that has taken place in cancer research, one that needs wider understanding by the public and policymakers. There is no one denominator for cancer; it is hundreds of different diseases and each must be evaluated – and treated – on its own. One early example of this was our success in treating childhood leukemia. This condition represents a small fraction of all cancer patients – only 3,540 cases were diagnosed in the U.S. in 2008 – but within this, the cure rate is 90 percent, up from 40 percent 25 years earlier. When the denominator includes all cancers, however, the cure rate amounts to less than a quarter of one percent. Much of this gain against childhood leukemia came from aggressive chemotherapy, a treatment that galvanized a new beginning in cancer treatment when it was first developed 60 years ago. We are now at another watershed moment in cancer research. Combination therapies and new enzyme-targeting treatments have turned many deadly cancers – certain adult leukemias and gastrointestinal stromal cell tumors among them – into chronic diseases. Genetic research has also put us on the path to targeted therapies that could have significant success. Consider that DNA decoding has identified a certain gene mutation in 10 percent of people with lung cancer, which accounts for a third of all cancer deaths. Nearly 100 percent of these patients respond to a small-molecule drug that focuses on the mutation. This is a clear victory over one disease, but a smaller achievement when the denominator expands to all lung cancers, and all cancers. Developing vaccines to prevent cancers is another attainable goal that requires more emphasis. Cancer cells evade detection by the immune system – and the most sensitive diagnostic tools – in many insidious ways. We are working on ways to engage the patient's immune defenses to recognize and withstand these stealthy cells. Early data indicates that vaccines could have considerable impact on renal cancer and melanoma, which is on the rise. There is great need to build an arsenal of targeted approaches. Certain diseases, such as ovarian and lung cancers, are rarely detected early. And our nation's increase in life expectancy – 79 years for people born today, up from 63 in 1940 – further expands the pool of vulnerable populations since cancer risk increases with age. Even as the nation faces other health challenges – from H1N1 flu virus to health care reform – we must strengthen our commitment to cancer research. The pledge to increase federal funding for cancer research is encouraging, but of the $10 billion in stimulus money allocated for health care, only $1.3 billion will go to cancer, and this must be spent in two years. Already, the number of grant applications has far outstripped the available funding. To capitalize on the promise of targeted treatments, we must recalculate budgets for the hundreds of diseases we call cancer. Steven J. Burakoff, M.D. is Director of The Tisch Cancer Institute, Professor of Medicine (Hematology and Medical Oncology), and Professor of Oncological Sciences at The Mount Sinai Medical Center One in a series of commentaries by prominent Mount Sinai physicians and scientists.

Title: | Behaviour of unsaturated layered soil columns during infiltration |
Author: | Yang, Hong; Rahardjo, Harianto; Leong, Eng Choon |
Copyright year: | 2006 |
Abstract: | This paper presents the laboratory test results of vertical infiltration on two soil columns of finer over coarser soils subject to simulated rainfalls under conditions of no-ponding at the surface and constant head at the bottom. The main objectives were to evaluate the effect of rainfall intensity and duration; and to provide experimental evidence for soil water redistribution and hysteresis. The results show that rainfall intensity had a major effect on infiltration in the finer layer but had limited effect in the coarser layer due to the large difference of saturated permeability between the two layers. A relatively short rainfall duration resulted in a delayed response of pore pressure and water content to the rainfall after its cessation, while a relatively long duration did not result in such a delayed response. The delayed response indicated the redistribution of soil water in infiltration. Different paths of water content versus matric suction were followed during the tests indicating the apparent hysteretic behavior of soil water. In addition, the coarser layer restricted the increase of pore pressure in the finer layer. A minor variation of saturated soil permeability had minimal effect on infiltration. |

"The Grand Valley State University compliance function helps us continue exercising our institutional commitment to acting with integrity, communicating openly and honestly, operating transparently and accepting responsibility for our words and actions."
GVSU President Thomas J. Haas (Forum, January 17, 2011)
From the GVSU Strategic Plan 2010 - 2015:
GOAL FOUR: Regular and rigorous assessment results inform decision-making at Grand Valley.
Objective 4.8: Through 2015, provide an annual Grand Valley State University Accountability Report to university constituent groups.
Objective 4.9: Through 2015, provide an annual Dashboard Report to internal university constituent groups.
GOAL SEVEN: Grand Valley's stakeholders are aware of and supportive of the university's financial decisions.
Objective 7.1: Annually, the university maintains and monitors its practices to reduce its overall exposure to business and catastrophic risks at acceptable levels.
Grand Valley State University operates within an extensive and ever-changing framework of hundreds of applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations. "Compliance" means successfully meeting our responsibility not only to abide by applicable legal requirements, but by expectations we set for ourselves through university planning and policies. Acting in accordance with laws and policies is not only the right thing to do; failure to do so may pose a significant risk to our ability to fulfill the institutional mission to educate students to shape their lives, their professions, and their societies. Compliance therefore remains an essential and challenging endeavor that requires the combined effort of dedicated administrators, faculty, staff and students. It is everyone's responsibility.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This isn't something I'll continue to buy, though it definitely provided an energy boost and great that there are no fillers. I saw another review that said they read up to three caps a day is OK (which I did try), but I found one was sufficient to benefit from energy/mood wise. Three was too much for me and caused a bit of an unpleasant chain reaction, starting with breathlessness (though that did help me confirm something, so not a waste of time). There's also a 30-cap bottle which is a good option for first time buyers. If this review was helpful to you, please click YES below - thank you.

I am 47 years old and I had a stroke EXACTLY right at the start of my menopause. The doctors couldn't find any cause for the stroke, I had low blood pressure, low cholesterol, but I knew that it was hormone-related. I had trouble with the thyroid years ago, and I suspected that the thyroid wasn't working right, even though the TSH was within normal limits. I researched the internet and I found out that when thyroid hormone is low then progesterone is low, which makes estrogen dominant, and estrogen causes blood clots. To make a long story short, within a few days after I started Thyroplex I felt like my own younger self, it was like I found the elixir of life.
