Purchase the Comprehensive Profile Review now: $ 159.00."What are my chances at…"
It's the most common question we get. It's the most common question that any admissions consultant gets — but if they're giving you a free review, in order to sell you their services, are you confident that they're going to tell you the straight answer?
It's awfully tempting for a consultant to say you've got a chance at Harvard if it means you'll plunk down your cold hard cash to have them help you apply. The EssaySnark Profile Review is a more comprehensive service than you'll get for free from most consultants — and we promise to be upfront and direct with you. If we think you're Harvard material — great! We'll be excited to share the news. If we don't think so, then we'll explain why, and you'll be armed with actionable information so you can determine your next steps.
Purchase the Comprehensive Profile Review now: $ 159.00.
The Comprehensive Profile Review will start you in the right direction on your MBA applications.
- Get an unbiased and honest assessment of the strengths and weaknesses in your profile.
- Learn which schools are realistic targets and get suggestions for others you might want to consider.
- Find out once and for all if your GMAT score is "good enough."
- Get insights into your GPA and how it will be evaluated with your GMAT.
- Increase your confidence in your strengths–and know what you need to do about your weaknesses.
- You also get a one-month membership to the EssaySnark blahg with purchase.
- After you sign up, you will be directed to an in-depth questionnaire. Complete these questions with as much detail as possible, because your answers will be reviewed by EssaySnark to see how you might be a match to specific bschools.
- You will receive a report back that indicates how you are lining up for success, or whether you need to work on your profile, and/or adjust your list of schools.
Note: Nobody but the adcoms can tell for sure if you're a good fit for them. It's actually impossible for anyone even to be able to weigh your odds without knowing quite a bit about your background, and especially your leadership experience. This profile review doesn't try to predict your chances. Instead, it's meant to supplement your own research and legwork. We will help you identify potential programs to pursue and we'll tell you if we think you're off base in your current targets. Only you can determine if you're a good fit to a particular school, and only that school can determine if they agree.
If you need to cancel, you are entitled to a refund less $50 provided that no materials have been submitted for review. You must submit your questionnaire into the profile review process within 30 days of purchase. The Comprehensive Profile Review is included in the Complete Essay Package. Sorry, but no refunds are available if purchased separately.
Want to know which schools you should be considering? The Comprehensive Profile Review will tell you this — and more. Standard turnaround: 3 business days from receipt of materials.

A thoughtful, concise, and detailed assessment
The comprehensive profile review helped me begin to see the difference between my self-perception and the impression my unusual profile might make on an adcom. EssaySnark explained how my unique strengths and weaknesses would be perceived, and provided direction for my application strategy.
EssaySnark knows their stuff, acts with the professional values that set apart top consulting firms, and will be up-front and honest. I wish I had engaged with Team Snark 4-6 months before round 1 deadlines, because EssaySnark stands out from all the other admissions consultants I have spoken or worked with, and the application journey was tougher than I expected.
PS - If you continue with other services, stay strong! Working with EssaySnark required humility, courage, and perseverance, but the results were astounding!
The first thing you must do when you begin your application journey
Don't do anything, don't sign up for a consultant, don't write an essay, and god forbid don't submit an application before you get a Comprehensive Profile Review. The CPR is incredible value for the money; I received 18 pages of detailed feedback on every piece of information I input. ES also provides a holistic view of your candidacy--you're stacked up against others from your applicant pool as well as the general profile of the school you're applying to, and they make both qualitative and quantitative comparisons. If you can do this early enough to work on the weaknesses in your profile, you'll be way ahead of the game on your applications.
Do This
I'm so glad that I found EssaySnark and the CPR - the review has completely changed the way I'm approaching the admissions process. One tip for maximizing the value of the CPR: make a solid attempt to really elaborate on career goals before submitting your info to ES for review. You'll still get PLENTY of detailed and insightful feedback if your goals are vague, but a decent career goals statement will help EssaySnark tie all the other app components (GPA, GMAT, etc) into one super-cohesive narrative.
Thanks ES.
Very exhaustive review of my profile. I am impressed with my first purchase through essaysnark. They talk through everything and provide solid suggestions across the board.
I don't have a unique profile but I am by no means a traditional candidate. I am somewhere in the grey area and they do a great job of explaining where I stand as a candidate.
Incredibly Helpful!
The comprehensive profile review provided by the EssaySnark experts was instrumental in shaping my applications. After their feedback, I revamped my three Round 1 applications to reflect their deep insights, and received interviews at each of those three schools. It was particularly helpful to see where my applications may have been weakest, and focus on those areas. Cannot recommend their service enough, especially for military folks who may not have any other resources.
EssaySnark did a truly amazing job of giving me a very thorough and realistic analysis of my profile, and compared it specifically to the programs I'm looking at. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants an honest assessment of where they stand in the applicant pool, and only wish I had done it a bit sooner. It was by far the best advice I've gotten in the entire application process.
Highly Recommended
EssaySnark sent me an in-depth (17 page) breakdown of my profile. They really highlighted areas of concern in a manner which allowed me to understand the admissions staff's point of view concerning my application. They included possible ways I could use to mitigate problem issues and also suggested overall strategies that would help present my overall profile more favorably.
I am highly satisfied with the candid analysis of my profile and would recommend this service to anyone who is still in the process of formulating strategy and/or writing essays. Thankyou EssaySnark!
Exceptional insight!
EssaySnark provided a ton of feedback on every single aspect of my profile. One of the most important pieces of feedback focused on my GMAT score and presented a number of different application strategies that I could pursue depending on whether or not I planned to retest. The Comprehensive Profile Review also allows you to ask additional questions about your profile, which EssaySnark answered throughout the review. Overall, this process was extremely invaluable. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for objective and detailed feedback on their applicant profile.
Comprehensive Profile Review
One of the best ES services, especially for people who don't have many/any close friends who have applied to many MBA programs with the same profile as yourself, or if you have a unique "borderline" profile and have no clue which schools are reasonable. For me, my GPA was low, and I am a female engineer with a great GMAT, so I really wasn't sure if my GPA already ousted me down to rank 10-25 or not.
Great Info
This service is outstanding. The format is very easy to follow, yet is very detailed and specific to your profile. It's a gimmick-free assessment as well; they are straight up and honest with you and use past examples to back up points. I especially like how my strengths and weaknesses were specifically addressed, and I was given advice on how to improve.
EssaySnark was kind enough to offer this service pro-bono to me since I am a military candidate. I am very thankful that they do this and encourage other military applicants to look into their other offerings as well.
One BSer complained in their review in 2013 that we didn't give an assessment of how they'd stack up against each of their schools. We absolutely do this in the profile review when we have enough information to go on. If you don't give us that info then we can't give you that assessment. We're not going to blow smoke if we don't have enough insight into your situation. Be thorough in what you provide to us on the questionnaire and we'll be thorough back. If you aren't, then we can't.

$86B in forex reserves seen excessive, costly, beyond optimal
popular .
The country's nearly $86-billion foreign exchange reserves, which are projected to rise further due to robust inflow of remittances and portfolio investments, were deemed excessive, costly and beyond optimal.
This is the opinion of Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS), which said in one of its latest research notes that the economy might be missing out on prudent investment opportunities as it kept more than enough foreign exchange liquidity.
PIDS also said the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), which manages the gross international reserves (GIR), was incurring huge interest expenses as it continued to build the reserves.
It explained that the central bank's dollar buying activities—which boosts the GIR—resulted in the infusion of peso liquidity into the economy. Financial institutions that earn from selling dollars to the central bank, in turn, park a significant portion of the proceeds in special deposit accounts (SDA) with the BSP.
The BSP accommodates funds in its SDA facility and pays interests on these to avoid excess liquidity in the economy as this can fuel higher demand and rise in inflation.
SDA funds were estimated at P1.8 trillion and the central bank pays an annual interest rate of 3 percent on it.
PIDS cited three general means to measure whether foreign exchange reserves were either within or beyond optimum levels.
"Based on these three criteria, the foreign exchange reserves of the Philippines have been determined to be higher than the optimal level," PIDS said in the commentary titled "Rapid Accumulation of Foreign Exchange Reserves: Boon or Bane."
The first is the ratio of the reserves to the country's outstanding, short-term foreign currency-denominated debts. According to PIDS, an ideal ratio is 1:1. In the case of the Philippines, its foreign-exchange reserves are about 6 times its short-term external debt.
Second is the ratio of the reserves to total liquidity in the economy measured in terms of M2 (M2 includes currencies in circulation and bank deposits). PIDS said an optimal level of reserves is one that is equivalent to between 5 and 20 percent of M2. However, the country's foreign-exchange reserves are even slightly higher than M2.
Third is the number of months of import cover. PIDS said a comfortable GIR should cover imports requirements for three to four months. The Philippines' current foreign exchange reserves, however, can cover one year worth of imports.
"Hence, the BSP should explore measures on how to minimize the costs associated with holding foreign exchange reserves," PIDS said.
PIDS urged the central bank to study the proposal of pulling some money from the GIR to form a sovereign wealth fund, which will be used for various developmental investments.
"The more elaborate proposal for managing foreign exchange reserves is to establish a sovereign wealth fund such that the strategic focus of using surplus reserves will shift from passive liquidity management to active profit-seeking investment," PIDS said.

When the gray of winter is getting you down, put on a pair of Jazz Hands to lift your spirits! When your husband wants the thermostat set lower than you would like this winter, depend on your Jazz Hands to keep you cozy!
These fun arm warmer / fingerless gloves are great to slip under sweater sleeves or over long-sleeved t-shirts to keep your hands toasty while still leaving your fingers free to knit, type on the computer, or do chores around the house (but let's face it, I'd much rather you take that time to knit!)
The pattern is written for one size. Model's forearm circumference is 10" and wrist is 6", but this fabric has a bit of stretch to accommodate arms that are slightly larger (and for arms that are slightly smaller, the hand ribbing will shrink down to fit while the arm portion will just have a "slouchy" style to it.) If you are intent on resizing, I recommend using sport weight yarn and US size 3 or 4 needles (though you should go back to working with the size 2 needles when you get to the hand portion since hand sizes don't differ much, even when body weight is significantly different.)
This pattern uses increases, decreases, picking up stitches and twisted stitches. The pattern links to a video that demonstrates both the left twist and the right twist, in addition to the written explanation in the pattern.

It is a responsibility of the Alzheimer's Association to inform people what their options are. They should know about how provisions in an advance directive can avoid or shorten life-prolonging measures, such as dialysis or artificial food and hydration, when advanced dementia is present. They should know that Do Not Resuscitate orders can be implemented and that a POLST [Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment] form should be initiated especially if the patient is in institutional care. A health care agent should be appointed who can fight for a demented patient's right to stop or discontinue treatment and ask for comfort care only.
Ultimately patients with dementia should be able to ask for help in dying from the medical community but, in the meantime, it is essential for families and the Alzheimer's Association to talk about alternatives to a prolonged and agonizing death. It is commendable to provide respite care, support for caregivers, and the other beneficial activities provided by the organization but not to talk about death is a denial of the reality of this illness which has a devastating effect on so many people.

Democrats and socialism
Democrats represent big government and that is all they do. Why do they always want to drive up taxes if there is no deficit or debt increase as they claim? Actually doing something would be radically different for the Democrats. Obama said he would not raise taxes on the middle class, but he lied repeatedly and has raised taxes on multiple things and Obamacare not only adds taxes, it restricts civil right supposedly guaranteed by the Constitution which no Democrat upholds or protects per their oaths of office. Socialism like the progressive Democrats are foisting on the American public has always failed, will always fail; they are thieves robbing the next generations. – Rolla Rich, Spring Valley
North Korea's threats are unacceptable
In response to "N. Korea cancels armistice" (March 12): In these difficult times, we need to be careful with hyperbole and irresponsible rhetoric, however I am so tired of the mosquito with the nuclear bomb that I could cough up a fur ball! If there were any way to bomb their military back into the Stone Age, and at the same time free the North Korean people of the chains in which they live, the gulags they are sent for expressing dissent, and feed them, I wish we would do it.
However, for their … "dear leader" to threaten our very existence, while sending intercontinental ballistic missiles (possibly of the nuclear variety) into the atmosphere, is unacceptable. We should stop them, just like Iran, before they get really dangerous. They are already a threat to our allies South Korea and Japan.
I don't think that here would be any country in the world, with the exception of China and possibly Russia, who would object, given how much of a real threat they might become given a nuclear weapon.

"MANY of us do not know that there are abundance of talents in the country and to to harness that talent, we need to develop an industry that can look into that," says FNU vice-chancellor Dr Ganesh Chand.
He made the comment at the launch of the sixth Fiji Film Festival at the Damodar City complex on Friday night.
Dr Chand said these hidden talents needed to be exploited and exposed and events like this festival would assist in doing this.
Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, who launched the festival, said there were people who opposed the advancement of Fiji to a fusion of culture, language and literature.
He also said the fusion of art, film and literature was the sign of the maturity of any country and in particular Fiji.
The Fiji Film Festival will end on Thursday.

COMMENTBy LIM TEIK HUAT
NATIONAL Sports Council (NSC) director general Datuk Zolkples Embong has asked diving head coach Yang Zhuliang to deliver the goods at the London Olympics first before discussing an extension to his four-year contract, which ends in October.
If that is the case, the NSC are only shooting themselves in the foot as the coach might be snapped up by other countries.
As it is, a few countries are already interested in getting the Chinese coach to train their divers after Malaysia's stunning success in capturing 10 out of the 12 quota spots for the coming Olympics.
Australia, reportedly, are very keen on getting Zhuliang back for a second stint and, it is learnt, are willing to offer him double what he is getting here.
Zhuliang holds a permanent residence status in Australia and it won't be a surprise if NSC's indecision results in Malaysia losing him a second time.
Malaysian diving will be the biggest loser as Zhuliang has certainly built a good rapport with the divers with the way he has handled them since returning for the second time in 2009.
It is not easy to get the divers to be brave enough to try difficult routines but that's what Zhuliang has done with youngsters like Pandelela Rinong and Cheong Jun Hoong.
Pandelela stepped up to the big time with a fifth-placed finish in her World Championships debut in Rome a few months later and went on to clinch bronze with Leong Mun Yee in their first partnership for the 10m platform synchro.
Pandelela climbed new heights with the Commonwealth Games gold medal in New Delhi the following year and is now a multiple medallist at the FINA Diving World Series.
Zhuliang was not in charge at the last Olympics in Beijing and the divers, including the talented former world junior champion Bryan Nickson Lomas, struggled in the preliminaries.
But Zhuliang managed to turn things around.
And now he has expressed a desire to stay on beyond the London Olympics despite having to cope with sub-standard facilities in Bukit Jalil.
It is no secret that the divers have had to contend with less than perfect facilities for the last few years, including torn trampoline and broken harness.
Zhuliang has raised the matter with the authorities but it has fallen on deaf ears.
Although Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek promised to rectify things, nothing has been done.
It is unfair for NSC to expect the coach to deliver a medal at the Olympics before they are ready to talk about a contract extension.
What if Malaysia fail to win an Olympic medal in diving but the divers still make the finals for the first time in history? Does this mean that the London outing is a failure – for both Zhuliang and his charges?
The last Asian Games and Commonwealth Games performances showed that Malaysian diving is on the right track.
We won Commonwealth Games medals in diving for the first time in Melbourne 2006 with two silvers but that was elevated to one gold, one silver and two bronzes in New Delhi four years later.
At the 2006 Asian Games, we hauled in one silver and three bronzes but there was rapid improvement in Guangzhou two years ago with four silvers and five bronzes.
So, to set an Olympic medal as the target to gauge whether Zhuliang deserves a contract ext-ension is only undermining the man's abilities.

Hey guys, I have 3 psds (one actually is a png out of fireworks but I can convert it if need be) I need sliced into templates, I need a pretty quick turn around on them. Also one of them requires a jquery drop down.
Also with this job I'm looking to work with someone long term for both slicing and jquery work. If you're interested in this job email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with a price and portfolio.
You must understand CSS (+ Eric Meyers reset css), JQuery, and must pass w3 validation.
Hi rkoston,
You'll most likely get more replies if you specify your budget and a few more details of the project like the turn around time expected, etc.
With that being said, I'd be happy to do the work for you. I'll shoot you an email with the requested info.

I have a few smaller aquariums that are older and require these type of lights. You can usually find them at most Pet stores and even at WalMart for a very reasonable price.
They seem to last quite a long time before I have to replace them,and they must be pretty good as I have Amazon Plants that I grow in my Kuhli Tank,that have always grown very well.
They come in other colors rather than the clear,but I tend to stick with the regular.
Pros: good price can find pretty easy seem to last long
Cons: none

Favored aquarium lighting
posted 6 years ago
I always liked this plain low-wattage incandescent bulb to enhance my aquariums. It lasts a surprisingly long time. I rarely needed to use a tank heater, thanks to the bulb's heat -- but do check your tank's thermometer regularly.
Pros: Inexpensive source of light and heat
Cons: Keep water level safely below bulb

Hey, everyone. I'm Anabelle. I, like many of you, have a passion for writing. My writing is my way of showing who I am and who I want to be. There are so many ways I express myself, and one way is through my writing. I give my characters a little touch about me. Please read them and reviews will help in so many ways! I take all forms of criticism; I won't hate you for telling me what doesn't sound right in my writing. I hope you all like my fanfics, and I hope one day to take my writing to the next level and become a published author. But for now, I'll just stay in my little corner writing my little stories :)
EVERYONE ON FANFICTION: I URGE YOU ALL TO PARTICIPATE IN NANOWRIMO STARTING NOVEMBER 1 - NOVEMBER 30. IT'S A GREAT WAY TO CHALLENGE YOUR WRITING SKILLS AND IMPROVE YOURSELF. THIS IS MY FIRST NANOWRIMO AND I'M VERY EXCITED. I WILL BE POSTING MY STORY (IF ANY OF YOU ARE INTERESTED) ON http://www.wattpad.com/user/Anabelle9 THANK YOU!
You probably don't care about anything I'm going to say now, but I'll say it for the people who want to know. Who knows? Maybe there are people like me out there :P

#1: Jonathan Scott (OMG I would MARRY that man)
You probably don't know some of them. Oh well!
I had a review and the person said they didn't understand the ending, why I ended with them going back and evidently continuing Victor Hugo's ending. I don't believe in changing the ending to a story. If someone took the time to write the ending they did, then I respect that. I understand this is fanfiction and the original story will always still be that, but I like to see what I can do with the ending they wrote. The whole purpose was for the characters to learn something they didn't before. Éponine learned (as I believe I wrote in it) to stop finding love and let love find her. Enjolras learned that there are more important things than fighting a war. Marius learned what it really means to be in love (cuz honestly, one look and you're in love? Be real.) Gavroche learned to appreciate his sister more (that was for everyone who fights with their siblings a lot, like me), Joly learned how to be a leader, etc. etc. I could go on and on with how each character learned something new with this journey. It didn't change their fate, but it changed who they were as a person. That's what I was trying to convey, that if we take the time to understand one another or if we were placed in a different situation, how would we react? What would we learn? Who would change us? I know everyone wants a happy ending where the couples end up together and live happily ever after (that's how I originally planned it to be) but that ended was too clichéd and everyone writes it. I wanted my fanfiction to be different and have a more realistic ending. No one can always have that happy ending they want. Like it or hate it, that's how I wrote it and I'm proud of it.
I'm also on Wattpad if you want to read my original stories :) Here's the link:

Allied Occupation of Japan
military government
military government, rule of enemy territory under military occupation. It is distinguished from martial law, which is the temporary rule by domestic armed forces over disturbed areas. The practices of military government were standardized before World War I, notably at the Hague Conferences (1899, 1907) and form a part of the laws of war (see war, laws of).
During and after World War II, vast territories came under military government. During the war, Germany administered occupied countries through a hierarchy of Kommandaturen [military government headquarters], but this normal army administration was often duplicated by civilian economic agencies and Gestapo personnel. In France, Norway, Greece, and Serbia, local puppet governments were authorized to operate under German control; Belgium and NE France were under purely military government; in Eastern Europe, authority was concentrated in 1941 in the ministry for eastern occupied territories. German military government often violated the rules laid down by the Hague Conventions.
Allied Military Government (AMG) began to function in Sicily and in Italy in 1943; it sought to utilize local civilian authorities to the widest possible extent. When operating in Allied territory, such as France, AMG became Civil Affairs and was limited to combat areas. After the termination of military operations, Germany and Austria were divided (1945) into four occupation zones and military government was reorganized. At first it was subject in general policy to the authority of the U.S.-Soviet-British-French Allied Control Councils in Berlin and Vienna. In time, the growing dissension between the Western powers and the USSR led to the breakdown of the quadripartite system in Germany and in Berlin. The British, French, and American zones were soon amalgamated for most purposes and ultimately became the state of West Germany; in opposition to them stood the Soviet zone, which later became the East German state.
In Austria and Vienna disharmony was less evident, and military control ended in 1955 with the signing of a peace treaty between Austria and the four Allied occupying powers. In Japan, military government became a solely American responsibility, though subject to suggestions of an 11-power Allied council. It was ended by the signing of the peace treaty with Japan (1951).
In response to the experiences of World War II, a new convention covering military occupation was signed in Geneva in 1949. In recent years, the most prominent military occupation of a region has been that by Israeli forces of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
See E. Fraenkel, Military Occupation and the Rule of Law (1944); C. J. Friedrich, ed., American Experiences in Military Government in World War II (1948); D. A. Graber, Development of the Law of Military Occupation, 1863–1914 (1948, repr. 1969); C. Clapman et al., ed., The Political Dilemmas of Military Regimes (1985).

"I cannot stop staring at this birth announcement. It is absolutely stunning in every way (doesn't hurt that my sweet baby is on it). The foil stamping is high quality for the price. Paper very sturdy. I got rounded edges but I'm sure regular edges would also look great. Highly, highly recommend!"
"I've used Tiny Prints before and found my initial results to be mediocre, however, this time these birth announcements came out wonderful. Of course, basically, you get what you pay for. The higher quality of cardstock, etc that you use makes for a much better product."
"Loved how these cards turned out. We have received so many compliments about these announcements for our son. Would recommend for a family that wants a clean, straightforward, fun announcement."
"'Grayson' is a beautiful child and his name so matched the design of this card... I had to choose it for then 10 day old, August! The added text for 'stats' was an easy edit too! :) P.S. The corners in my photo are from the screen shot... the actual card has rounded corners... very cool card and all that received it praised it!"
"Super quick delivery (days earlier than expected!). Quick and easy design template. I used the pearl paper and am so glad I did. It added a little extra shine to the gold style design. The weight of the paper was perfect for my son's birth announcement!"

John Laurence Menadue AO (born 1935) is an Australian businessman and public commentator, and formerly a senior public servant and diplomat.
Menadue was born in South Australia in 1935,[1] the son of a Methodist minister and was raised in that faith (he later converted to Catholicism). He attended 12 schools and lived in 17 houses by the age of 22. He graduated from the University of Adelaide in 1956 with a Bachelor of Economics.
From March 1960 to October 1967 Menadue was Private Secretary to Gough Whitlam, Deputy Leader of the Australian Labor Party and of the Opposition in the federal parliament (Whitlam became Leader in February 1967). In 1966 he stood unsuccessfully as Labor candidate for the NSW seat of Hume.[2] He then moved into the private sector for seven years as General Manager, News Limited, Sydney, publisher of The Australian.
Public service and diplomatic career[edit]
Menadue was head of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet from 1974 to 1976, working to Prime Ministers Whitlam and Malcolm Fraser. He was closely involved in the events of 11 November 1975, when Whitlam was dismissed.
He was Australian Ambassador to Japan from 1976 to 1980.[3]
Menadue returned to Australia in 1980 to take up the position of Secretary, Department of Immigration and Ethnic Affairs. In March 1983, he became Secretary of the Department of the Special Minister of State. He was appointed Secretary of the Department of Trade in December 1983.

Menadue is an adviser to several companies. He chaired the NSW Health Council, which reported to the NSW Minister for Health in March 2000 on changes to health services in NSW. He also chaired the SA Generational Health Review which reported to the South Australian Minister for Human Services in May 2003.
In October 1999, Menadue published his autobiography Things You Learn Along the Way.[4] He was the founding Chair of New Matilda (NewMatilda.com), an independent weekly online newsletter which was launched in August 2004. He is the founder and fellow of public-interest think tank, the Centre for Policy Development.[5]
Menadue was made an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in 1985 for public service.[6] In 2003 he was awarded the Centenary Medal 'for service to Australian society through public service leadership'.[7] In 1997, he received the Japanese Imperial Award, The Grand Cordon of the Order of the Sacred Treasure (Kun-itto Zuihō-shō), the highest honour awarded to foreigners who are not head of state or head of government.[8][9]
Menadue's first wife Cynthia née Trowbridge died of cancer in 1984 aged 49.[10] He has remarried, and has four children and ten grand children.

ENDA, PA Non-Discrimination and Marrriage on Horizon in the Keystone State
February 21, 2014 by David Contreras Turley, Associate Regional Field Director
On Wednesday, HRC Regional Field Director Lynne Bowman and I were in Philadelphia to meet with Equality Pennsylvania and other local and national partners to coordinate our organization's work in the region around the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, the Pennsylvania Non-Discrimination Act and the public education campaign building support for marriage equality in the region.
This is a very exciting time for the LGBT community in Pennsylvania. The stakes are higher than ever with a marriage case pending and strong, bipartisan efforts moving nondiscrimination legislation forward in Harrisburg.
After the U.S. Senate's historic passage of ENDA in November, we have a fighting chance to pass ENDA in the House with many important congressional priorities in Pennsylvania.
We have a lot of work we have to do to make sure we succeed and great potential for victory on all fronts.
To learn more about HRC's work to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act visit www.hrc.org/ENDA.
Get involved in Pennsylvania and learn more about local volunteer opportunities, please email firstname.lastname@example.com today.

Science shows how precision-tinted lenses fight migraines
A team of scientists have discovered why wearing precision-tinted glasses helps reduce migraine headaches (Photo: G.L. Kohuth)
Article Summary
In order to lessen the frequency and severity of their headaches, migraine sufferers are sometimes instructed to wear eyeglasses with precision-tinted lenses. These are known as prescribed precision ophthalmic tints, or POTs. Up until recently, however, the science behind the POTs/headache relationship wasn't clearly understood. Now, a team of scientists have used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to gain an understanding of just what is taking place.

Three free things to do this week
Categories: Free Stuff
This week in free things to do we have an homage to '80s cinema, fun at the Walker, and a great art reception. Come take a look and plan your week on the cheap.
|Dance montages made everything cooler in the '80s
(Varsity Theater, 1308 Fourth St. SE, Minneapolis)
The '80s was a decade filled with awkward dance moves, random musical montages, and teen angst done up Molly Ringwald style. This Wednesday, Transmission will be paying tribute to John Hughes, one of the great directors of the era. During the happening, classics like Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and The Breakfast Club will be projected on the big screen while DJ Jake Rudh will play classics from INXS, the Thompson Twins, Kate Bush, Oingo Boingo, XTC, New Order, Psychedelic Furs, and more. Be sure to dress up as your favorite character. Wednesday 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.
|Justine Di Fiore and Samuel Bjorgum
(TuckUnder Projects, 5120 York Ave. S., Minneapolis; www.TuckUnder.org)
Each month TuckUnder Projects, a gallery housed in a private residence, offers a variety of efforts from a handful of artists. This month's happening offers an exhibition of paintings by Justine Di Fiore and Samuel Bjorgum. The local artists have drastically different styles; Di Fiore is a figurative painter while Bjorgum's work is abstract. Meanwhile, Melissa Borman and Amy Toscani will be exhibiting installations and sculpture outside, Steven Lang will be interviewing people in the Leaky Sink Gallery (a.k.a. the bathroom) for his Darkroom Interviews, and Laura Bigger's Raspberry Patch will be yielding some tasty treats. Thursday 6 to 9 p.m.
(Walker Art Center, 1750 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis)
Each Thursday, the Walker Art Center opens its doors and throws an art party for free. This week's installment will offer a variety of happening. Inside, folks will be able to check out "Tracks in the Snow: The Minnesota Muslim Experience since 1880," which tells the varied stories and shares the perspective of 25 Muslims living in Minnesota. Eric Crosby, curator of "Art Expanded, 1958-1978" will be discussing the influence of Fluxus. Outside, Acoustic Campfire will be hosting folk duo the Ericksons. Thursday, 5 to 9 p.m.

SMB nails 13th straight
THE SAN Miguel Beermen averted a near-collapse to down the Indonesia Warriors, 70-66, last night and clinch homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs in the Asean Basketball League at Y nares Sports Arena.
Val Acuña and Brian Williams hit 15 points apiece while Asi Taulava delivered another solid performance for the Beermen with 12 points and nine rebounds as San Miguel nailed a 13th straight victory and the No. 1 seed in the playoffs with three games to spare.
Taulava hit two charities with seven seconds left, sealing San Miguel's 16th win against three losses. The Warriors dropped to 13-6, but remained on track to clinching the No. 2 seed.
The Warriors rallied from 52-65 and came within a point at 66-67 on a triple by Filipino import Jerick Cañada with 56 seconds remaining.
But the Beermen bottled up import Steven Thomas on the next play, before Cañada missed a desperation triple leading to the split by Paolo Hubalde for the final count.
The scores:
SAN MIGUEL BEERMEN 70—Acuna 15, B. Williams 15, Taulava 12, J. Williams 8, Hubalde 8, Avenido 6, Cawaling 2, Rizada 2, Thiele 2, Fortuna 0.
INDONESIA WARRIORS 66—Thomas 18, Pringle 15, Wuysang 13, Canada 9, Daniels 9, Prihantono 2, Smith 0.
Quarters: 19-7, 42-27, 56-48, 70-66

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
From the moment Cory Davis's guitar ricochet kicks off album-opener "Spineless," For the Voiceless invites obvious, even overly familiar, comparisons: Telepathos's moody reverb wash inevitably brings to mind the Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine. The dreamy opulence of "Spineless" shimmers with overtones of near-complacency, reminiscent of the sugary white noise of Psychocandy or the luxurious cocoon of Loveless. But beneath the surface, the local trio drives its music with a lingering undercurrent of paranoia, and that crucial tension helps the EP transcend mere imitation as it gradually unfolds into a murky, four-song mini-drama.
The band switches gears on "Sun Drug," a sudden sense of urgency shattering the calm thanks to Tom Hilde's jackhammer drumming and the stabs and swells of a synth straight out of "Love Will Tear Us Apart." Patrick Jackson's languid vocals feed the depressive atmosphere, but the manner in which he slurs his speech saves him from the looming fringes of an oppressive-sounding self-pity: The indecipherability of his words as they bleed into the feedback masks any sentiment beyond a general sense of grief, heightening the suspense with an edge of hostility as he teeters on a precipice between self-absorption and self-destruction.
The brooding lurch of "Reflector" then drags For the Voiceless into its deepest depths of Sturm and Drang before "Tetnis" brings proceedings to their denouement amidst a swirl of moans and sirens that rise in Gothic spirals. Jackson's menacing synth throws the listener into the middle of a scene that's already reaching its climax, another barrage of drums building into a smoldering intensity that finally burns out with eerie abruptness, leaving a hidden track to drift along in the wake. For the next five minutes, a cold clatter crackles like a broken radio transmission—the postscript, perhaps, to some ancient Greek tragedy, or simply the aftermath of an act of solitary desperation.

We were trying to put two people ashore in Iqaluit - a small and isolated settlement on the East Coast of Canada. Why we were doing that is a story for another day but while we were there, something unforgettable happend.
We were drifting amongst the ice floes waiting for a break in the weather. The engines were silent and the fog was thickening around us when the cry went up - POLAR BEAR!
As rare as they are, we'd actually seen one the previous day too. But it was in the distance, between us and our navy escort, eating a seal. It may have been the same bear but this time came much closer.
It was a few hundred meters away when we first spotted it coming steadily towards us through the maze of ice and water. It jumped the gaps where the ice floes weren't touching in big splashing leaps and within 10 minutes it had come so close that, if we hadn't been safe on the deck of the Arctic Sunrise, we could have touched it.
The whole crew were soon out on deck with camera's in hand and everyone, even the old hands, was quietly thrilled to see a bear up so close. A wild polar bear. The largest land-based predator on the planet in its natural habitat and almost close enough to touch. This was once in a life time for most of us.
Arne Sorenson is on board. He's our ice pilot and with his vast experience of the frozen seas even he's excited to see the bear. But he was also quick to stress how real the danger is of a bear like this getting on board and eating someone for breakfast.
Polar bears can weigh up to 1,000 kilos and stand 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder. They can run up to 40 km/h and have been seen swimming 300km from the nearest land. Suffice to say, despite the cute and cuddly look they've got going on - you don't want to mess with one. Our visitor wasn't the largest of bears and looked young and leaner than the classic polar bear post card so I'm guessing he was fairly keen for a feed. He certainly made short work of the marmite on toast someone accidentally dropped over the side in their haste to get a photo.
Our ship is drifting feely amongst ice floes and ice bergs of all shapes and sizes. They and us are continuously shifting with the current and the wind. So from one hour to the next, the whole pattern of ice and water around the ship changes. The bear finally drifted away from us on a large flat ice floe. Most of the ice floes are relatively flat, protruding from the water only a few feet or less, but every now and then a much thicker piece appears out of the mist. And here's the thing - if our young bear were to find a nice thick piece of ice alongside the ship - it could then get on board. And that would be big trouble in thick white fur.
So once the bear had drifted out of site we battened the hatches and locked all the doors before retiring back down into the warmth of the ship.
I went to sleep in my bunk that night imagining that bear slowly paddling a nice thick lump of ice towards the ship in time for breakfast.
For me, seeing the bear in this miraculously unspoiled place really underlined why we are here in the Arctic campaigning to stop deep sea oil drilling.
Polar bears live only in the Arctic Circle and are classified as a threaten species. The Davis Strait polar bear population is estimated at around two thousand. Scientists think that its survival rate will decline due to decreasing harp seal populations and shrinking sea ice cover. The polar bear survives on a diet almost exclusively of seals and lives most of its life at sea hunting on the edges of the sea ice.
An oil spill in this area would spell bad news for the bears.

And blatherers are go!
Beaut.ie Blather: Tuesday
Liked this? Here's more!
24 Replies to "Beaut.ie Blather: Tuesday"
Morning all!
Sunny today for me, keeping fingers crossed it stays like this.
I underestimated the cold this morning. I'm still wearing my leather jacket because I want to make the most of it this year. It's warm so it's fine, but it's a jacket so it leaves my legs exposed. So I'm cosy and warm from the waist up and from the ankles down (fur-lined boots), but freezing in the middle. It looks like I'll have to get the coat out of the wardrobe. Or wear longer skirts. Or hibernate until March.
Hope you all have a nice day.
Morning ladies, how is everyone today?
Morning girls!
TheFrog, I am now wearing thights under my trousers. That's how cold I am.
EvieM, am still trying to get rid of the flu but did one good thing today: booked myself a weekend in Paris in December. I'll miss the Connacht-Biarritz rugby game, but that was the only weekend in December where I could go, and I need to do some shopping
Hope you all have a lovely day!
Morning All. Anyone know why, when you're just about to get over a guy, he turns up in front of you in the street. If
Hey all, how are things?
Froggy, how short are your skirts again?
Gossip, hugs for you. I hate shit like that happening to me x
hi everyone. in a foul mood for no reason. the joys. cant wait for today to be over!
LauraLou, chin up! Go get a cup of coffee (or tea) and breathe
Morning all, I'm the same have tights on under my trousers and I've a little fan heater on under my desk… toasty.
Off for my weekly beating with the osteopath tonight, starting to feel better now. but still not 100%, hoping one more session does it, jesus it would have you broke…
Gossipgal – were you going to add more to that comment??
Oh Celine I'm jealous, really and truly bright frickin green with jealousy here. Enjoy x
I had LynnieDoll the joys of posting from a phone. Hadn't seen him for over a year and was convincing myself I wasn't in love with him anymore when I bumpd in to him.
Beth, I'm not quite sure what you're implying there… 12cm above the knee, which is quite work-appropriate I think. Esp with opaque tighs!
Gossipgal, hugs. It's never pleasant.
Celine, you'll be missing an opportunity to see whether the Yach is soluble in the Galway rain, to go shopping instead! Really, you've got your priorities wrong!
Talking of shopping, I bought the handbag for my mother's C-word gift. And maybe I bought a small one for me as well, as you do. I also went to Salsa, what with all the talk about jeans lately. I've found a cut that fits me perfectly (called 'push-in'. Does what it says on the tin). So now I'll know where to go for jeans. They're a bit pricey but thet were the first high-waist jeans that I've seen. Delighted.
Sun is still up, going for a drink and a snack after work with a friend, so I'm sending all kind of positive vibes to those of you not quite right at the moment.
Aww Gossipgal I know how you feel. That first meeting is always terrible. And then you replay it over and over in your head going over every little thing, and can't stop thinking about it, and wondering if he's going over it as well or if he forgot about it the minute he turned a corner. Drives you mad. But as Bobby Pins said, remember why it ended in the first place, and try to not think about it too much. Tea and choccie are always a good distraction I find!!!
I will enjoy for both of us Evie x
Yes TheFrog, I know… but that was an occasion to party with my friends, and I cannot miss it (I know that if I went, I'd have stalked Erik Lund and asked if I could please plait his beard pretty please thank you). Too bad though, I really enjoyed the Sportsground last year when Toulouse came to play.
O well, still have Munster v. RM92 to look forward to!
Celine, Lund with plaits in his beard… Simply brilliant, I'm sure he would look gorgeous.
Bloody Hell Bobbypins – (roots out tights as elegantly as she possibly can from hoop) Aircon on full blast!!!!, I keep loosing the heat from my fingers today, anyone that has walked into my office has had to walk back out again with the heat. (Must remember that as a clever ploy to rid office of unwanted colleagues)
Gossipgal, that happens… it's just a pang of history….you'll forget it later on…
Just on to mope about the fact that I forked out €32 for Trilogy's Everything Balm yesterday, and cannot find it anywhere today
Driving me nuts, hoping the baby didn't bin it. Boo hoo.
Gossipgal ((hugs))
O dear, I only just realised that my only advice to LauraLou was…. yeah you saw it, a cuppa. I've been here too long!!
Morning all (yes I know it's not morning but I've not been able to log on all day!!) Just back from a meeting in Birmingham with some of the company directors. THERE WERE JAZZ HANDS AT MY MEETING. Jazz Hands!!
Sorry I felt that needed to be shouted!! Hugs to everyone who's down today, and I'll think some warm thoughts for all of ye who are freezing! I've been on a toasty warm train for about 4 hours in total so far today so I'm downing the water goodoh!
Heading to the airport straight after work this eve so tomorrow I'll be blathering from Ireland!! Yaay!!!
Hmmm Hubby says he saw baby with aforementioned jar of 'Everything Balm' wandering around the house yesterday evening. Did he take it from the baby? Nope, of course he bloody didn't!! It's official, hubby will be doing the job of checking the bin this evening…

From the PublisherReview of previous edition:
"A nuanced, well-balanced overview of all kinds of colonial Latin American women and every facet of their lives … [It] will appeal to historians in general and the general public and it should be very successful in undergraduate classes on Latin American women."
Hispanic American Historical Review
Review of previous edition:
"A valuable introduction to the history of women in colonial Latin America, especially Spanish America, and will be particularly useful in introductory survey courses, making readily accessible the research and interpretive analyses of a generation of scholars."
The Americas
Review of previous edition:
"Tracing the history of Latin American women from 1492 until the independence era in the early nineteenth century might seem like a daunting task for writer and reader alike, but Socolow displays a striking ability to cut to the heart of the matter. In clear, concise prose she outlines major historical developments, notes exceptions and counter tendencies, and gives intriguing examples."

OCEAN CITY, N.J. - The six-member Troy family travels from Wrightstown, Bucks County, to the Jersey Shore every year at this time, and never has it been too hot to hang out on the beach.
But Wednesday morning, with a westerly wind so hot it felt as though a blow dryer was aimed at the coastline, a leisurely stroll on the boardwalk sounded much more appealing to Jeff and Kelly Anne Troy.
"Usually the water is too cold for the kids to go in. But this year, I've even been in," said Kelly Anne Troy as she showed her children - who range in age from 16 months to 6 years - the intricacies of the taffy-pulling machines in the blessedly air-conditioned Shriver's Salt Water Taffy & Fudge.

Star Tribune (Minneapolis) Steve Alexander column
Jan 22, 2013 (Star Tribune (Minneapolis) - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- QMy old HP LaserJet IIIP printer from 1992 works fine, but when I bought a new Dell computer I couldn't connect the two. The printer uses a 25-pin parallel connector to connect to a PC, but the PC doesn't have a parallel port plug. I also couldn't find the driver software the printer would need for the new PC. Is there any way to connect the printer to the new PC, or do I have to buy a new printer JIM WEIGLE, Minneapolis AYour printer is from an era before printers were connected to PCs by USB cables or Wi-Fi. But that doesn't mean you can't use it.
The software driver problem is already solved. Your new PC probably came with Windows 7, which contains the appropriate driver software (see how to activate it at tinyurl.com/avh7cbr.) And you can connect the printer to the new PC, either via a $7 to $23 adapter that will convert your printer's parallel port cable into a USB connector (see tinyurl.com/bcp3oog), or by adding a parallel port to your computer with a $7 to $27 circuit board that fits into one of the PC's expansion slots (see tinyurl.com/au9nyvb.) QMy 2009 PC came with a version of Windows Live Photo Gallery that had a "fix" icon on the tool bar. Opening the "fix" gave me access to photo editing capabilities, and under the "Exposure" tab there was a slider control for "Shadows," a useful function that could lighten only the dark parts of a photo. I recently updated to a new version of Photo Gallery, but I can no longer find the Shadows function. How can I get the old version of the software back MEL BINA, Tucson, Ariz.
AI can see why you'd be willing to revert to the old software; the Shadows option's ability to affect only the darkest portion of a picture is impressive. But switching isn't necessary, because the Shadows option has simply shifted locations in the latest version of Windows Live Photo Gallery. To get there, open the program, double-click a photo to select it and click "adjust exposure" on the right to find the "Shadows" command. Drag the slider control to lighten or darken the dimmest parts of the photo.
QVideos don't play correctly on my three-year-old PC. They stop every minute or so for several seconds. Is there a fix for this BRYNA BEN-ASHER, Tucson, Ariz.
AThe pauses occur because your PC is playing the video faster than the PC is receiving it from the Internet. You could get a faster Internet connection, or you could let the video finish streaming to your PC before you watch it. Streaming is complete when a "progress bar" beneath the video fills in.
