Excess in pleasure is known as self-indulgence or intemperance. It takes many different forms (e.g., desire for something which most other men find offensive, desire to a greater extent than normal for something liked by other men, desire in the wrong way for something also desired by other men, and so on). Self-indulgent men suffer pain when their desires go unfulfilled and they suffer pain when their appetite arises, even if it is eventually filled. The vice of insufficient desire for pleasure hardly exists and has no name. It takes the form either of innate insensitivity to pleasure or of asceticism, though the first is an inborn characteristic and not reprehensible.
In all matters pertaining to pleasure the temperate man observes the mean. He does not enjoy what is most pleasant to the self-indulgent and feels no pain, or only to a moderate degree, when his appetites are unfulfilled. He desires only pleasures that are within his means, compatible with nobility and which contribute to his health and well-being.

Windhoek — MTC won an award for its television commercial for Netman 4G at the fifth Annual Africacom 2012 awards in Cape Town on Wednesday night.
The Netman 4G TV commercial was in the Best Marketing Campaign category. It won second prize.
The annual Africacom Conference is Africa's premier annual telecommunications, media and ICT conference and exhibition and the award is a true celebration of vision and progress in the African telecommunications industry.
MTC managing director, Miguel Geraldes, said the award was earned in a tough competition and all mobile giants were nominated in the category.
The first prize went to Prezence Digital, a prominent and successful digital media company in its own right. Other nominated media companies included Orange and Etisalat.
"This award is not just for MTC, but it speaks volumes about the creativity of the Namibian people and we are happy to accept this on behalf of the Namibian people and our creative team," Geraldes said.
Emily Martyr of AfricaCom Awards commented that competition was fierce this year with a record number of entries, up 60 percent on last year. "The quality and number of entries in these awards is testament to the importance of this sector across Africa," she said.

Parts list:
1. 12" long 1/2"npt pipe
2. 3/4"npt TEE
3. 1/2 to 3/4 bushing
4. Hairpin Cotter Pin to match dog size (25 pound use a 3", and 40 pound use a 4")
5. Extension Spring 1" X 7" X.135"
6. 2 - Hose Clamps for approx. 2" pipe
7. Old inner tube to cut up
8. Leash - 3 foot length see step 8
9. Dog harness
Step 1: Cut the 3/4" npt pipe TEE in half
Step 2: Grind sharp edges off cut TEE
Step 3: Spring
When I bought this spring at the local hardware store, I walked to the plumbing section and sized up a 1/2 npt pipe to the spring and found that with a little force the spring would screw onto the pipe.
Step 4: Screw the spring on to the 1/2" shaft
I added gorilla tape to help protect the spring for the bit marks from the pliers, however the spring was still marred. You will need to add a lot of tape to protect the spring from marks from the pliers
Wouldnt you over heat your dog, if he's constantly running?? While you use minimum power. Do they not get exhausted?
This is just what I need. I got ill a couple of years back and as a consequence my mobility is extremely limited. One of the things that I really really miss is walking my dog - I have it on good authority he misses it too. I've bitten the bullet, overcome my pride and decided to get a mobility scooter - who cares that I'm only 39? My jack Russell, William, pulls quite a lot so this is ideal. I'll whack skis on in winter and yoke him up like a husky.
Thanks for the 'ible. :-)
I decided to go with ubolts thinking it would hold better for dogs that pulls real hard and the dang thing spins. any ideas to clamp it down real tight
Thanks for sharing you encouraged me to give it a try. I've been wanting one of these just didn't' want to fork out that much money. I made a few different changes on mine, but for the most part your idea rocked. I used a 3/4" Tee, 3/4" Pipe, and then screwed a water hose spring on the end to allow for some shock absorbing. Cost me about $15. Works like a charm for my two dogs!
It took Sam just minutes to realize what the bike walker was all about and she loved it and was a natural! Even though she respected and followed slow turns we've decided to teach her word commands for turning.
Check out our first go at the bike walker (one photo she wanted to great the camera man):
Second: this is genius. I've been wanting my husband to take the greyhound for a bike ride, but she is really skittish and he is afraid something will spook her and she'll run in front of him. This will solve that.
Plus, your video proves to my husband that she is NOT too small to follow a bike. She is taller than a pug! If he can, she can.
It was so much better than being tugged by arm...and I was able to bike with it on.
I was going to buy a springer but I think I'll make this instead!
I take dudley out on the bike but its the braking that is the pain when going gung ho!
You have a good point, and now that I have used it for about 6 months and seen the comments on this instruct able, I would have to say, if you are using a short leash of less than 2 feet (see comments by Das_Wookie), you don't need a breakaway feature. The reason I added the break-away feature was for the case when you and your dog ran on the different sides of a tree or pole. That would not happen if you had a short leash.
Looking at your design it appears that it might also be possible to attach this to the seat or chain stay as well.
Thanks for including the video too. It's always nice to be able to see items in action as it lets me know what to expect. Especially the Disconnect video!

Proline (abbreviated as Pro or P) is an α-amino acid, one of the twenty DNA-encoded amino acids. Its codons are CCU, CCC, CCA, and CCG. It is not an essential amino acid, which means that humans can synthesize it. It is unique among the 20 protein-forming amino acids because the α-amino group is secondary.
Multiple prolines and/or hydroxyprolines in a row can create a polyproline helix, the predominant secondary structure in collagen. The hydroxylation of proline by prolyl hydroxylase (or other additions of electron-withdrawing substituents such as fluorine) increases the conformational stability of collagen significantly. Hence, the hydroxylation of proline is a critical biochemical process for maintaining the connective tissue of higher organisms. Severe diseases such as scurvy can result from defects in this hydroxylation, e.g., mutations in the enzyme prolyl hydroxylase or lack of the necessary ascorbate (vitamin C) cofactor.
Sequences of proline and 2-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) also form a helical turn structure.
In 2006, scientists at ASU discovered that solutions of TiO2 illuminated with ultraviolet radiation can serve as an extremely cost-effective and accurate protein cleavage catalyst. The TiO2 catalyst preferentially and rapidly cleaves protein at sites where proline is present, while taking much longer to degrade the protein from its endpoints.
From a kinetic standpoint, Cis-trans proline isomerization is a very slow process that can impede the progress of protein folding by trapping one or more proline molecules crucial for folding in the non-native isomer, especially when the native protein requires the cis isomer. This is because proline residues are exclusively synthesized in the ribosome as the trans isomer form. All organisms possess prolyl isomerase enzymes to catalyze this isomerization, and some bacteria have specialized prolyl isomerases associated with the ribosome. However, not all prolines are essential for folding, and protein folding may proceed at a normal rate despite having non-native conformers of many X-Pro peptide bonds.
L-Proline is an osmoprotectant and therefore is used in many pharmaceutical, biotechnological applications.

The Association of Theological Schools Commision recently voted to approve MVNU as an extension site, along with Southern Nazarene University and Trevecca Nazarene University, enabling the University to offer the complete Master of Divinity degree. NTS President Dr. David Busic said, "We have been anticipating receiving full approval of our multi-campus sites since we began offering courses at SNU and MVNU 2 years ago. However, this validation from ATS is still very significant in that it means that students who take courses at any of these three multi-campus sites will be able to complete their Master of Divinity degree without ever having to travel to Kansas City to take a course." With the help of MVNU and NTS, a Master of Divinity degree will be more accessible to graduate students than ever before.
For more information about MVNU's Master of Divinity degree, visit our website at www.mvnu.edu/gps.
Mount Vernon Nazarene University is a private, four-year, intentionally Christian teaching university for traditional age students, graduate students and working adults. With a 400-acre main campus in Mount Vernon, Ohio, and several convenient Graduate and Professional Studies locations throughout the state, MVNU emphasizes academic excellence, spiritual growth and service to community and church. MVNU offers an affordable education to more than 2,600 students from 25 states and six countries/U.S. territories.

U.S. Education Reaps Rewards
Director, Universal Bank of Ukraine, EFG Group, Kiev
As much as colleges dislike the idea of rankings, students demand it: they're paying tens of thousands of dollars in tuition and they want to know that the school is academically excellent and its MBA degree will help them reach their goals.
Yannis (John) Volanis, MBA99, read Which MBA?: A Critical Guide to the World's Best Programs, a book published by The Economist Intelligence Unit. Because he hails from Greece, his possible educational choices included reputable European institutions, which would have cost less than a U.S. institution, he says.
"Nonetheless, I appreciated the case-study approach to teaching in the United States as compared with the research-oriented European teaching method," he says. "Since I had traveled to many European counties and was familiar with European business style, I knew I would benefit from studying in the United States, since I'd never been there."
While in the Tippie College, Volanis was one of 10 students who served as managers of the Henry Fund during 1998-99, a year that included the 1998 Russian financial crisis.
The stock market was extremely volatile at that time, Volanis says, including a 3,000-point rise in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which in April 1999 topped 10,000 points for the first time in history.
Shortly after graduation in 1999, Volanis joined the Bank of Cyprus, where he helped structure and introduce the first international equity-linked product in the Greek mass retail market.
"Back then, such products were only structured abroad and sold locally to private banking clients," he says. "It was a five-year placement, which guaranteed the investors' funds, like a long-term deposit, and its return was based on the performance of the Dow Jones' EURO STOXX 50 index," Volanis explains. "As a retail product, it was innovative and extremely successful."
In addition, his interest in derivatives led him to offer corporate clients structured solutions to hedge currency or interest rate risks.
"That was a significant value-added component in the Greek market," he says.
Today he is a director who heads corporate banking at Universal Bank of Ukraine, EFG Group, in Kiev.
"It has been my pleasure to team up with successful professionals to develop an international bank in Ukraine, almost from scratch," he says. "To understand the environment, to be flexible and adapt, to propose business consistency and trust in a young but demanding market has been exciting."
Volanis says his Tippie education made a significant impact on his career. His overall Tippie MBA experience plus the opportunity to be a Henry Fund manager "had a positive professional impact on me," he says. "It delivered results and boosted my career," he says.
"The opportunities following my MBA degree have been greater in number and more interesting than before. I like the way the 'market' confirms a good school choice!"

With construction underway, the original Hospital began to prepare for the advent of Medicare. The Administrator reported a significant drop in admission of patients over age 65, as they waited for the Medicare Act to become official to help them pay for the cost of their medical care.
In July, an agreement was finalized with the State of Utah to take over the care of the tubercular patients housed in the State Sanitarium on North Harrison Boulevard.
Mr. Knapp had been investigating the role and function of a Medical Director in the Hospital and, in October, Dr. Kenneth J. Williams, Medical Director of St. John Hospital in Detroit, appeared before the Board to discuss his work. After further consultations with other Hospitals, Dr. William P. Daines was appointed to the post of Medical Director of the Dee Hospital.
In August, 1966, 24-hour physician coverage of the Emergency Room began with Dr. Jay McEntire, Dr. Charles Pennington and Dr. Arthur Davenport assuming the responsibilities.
As the fund drive for the new Hospital continued, famed comedian Jack Benny was brought to Valley Music Hall in Bountiful by the Maurice Warshaw family of Salt Lake City as their contribution. Mr. Warshaw, owner of Grand Central Markets, pledged to match the profit from the Benny appearance, and asked that the $61,000 realized be used for TV sets in the patient rooms.
Hospital architect Keith Wilcox and builder Jack Okland announced plans to construct a professional building adjacent to the McKay.
In the meantime, an investigation was begun into the future of the original Dee Hospital. By June, 1968, it was decided the Dee could best serve the community by converting its assets into a new hospital plant adjacent to the McKay. This would fulfill the LDS Church commitment to the Dee family, made in 1916, that "there will always be a Dee Hospital in Ogden." Alternative plans for use of the building were suggested and architectural planning for the new Dee began.
Mention of plans to close the Hospital laundry first appeared in the Board Minutes of July, 1969. A joint laundry in Salt Lake City would provide service for the McKay, LDS, Primary Children's and Cottonwood Hospitals.
Dr. Leland H. Monson, retired Dean of the Humanities department at Weber State College, was employed to develop a permanent fundraising and planning foundation for the Hospital. In October, he outlined its purposes and structure to the Board.
By December, the First Presidency announced $2,100,000 would be available for building of the new Dee Hospital, and a Medical Staff committee to help in its planning was announced, chaired by Dr. John D. Newton.
With the coming of 1969, the McKay-Dee Foundation was organized and Ogden industrialist George H. Horsley, Sr., was selected as its first president.
The new Hospital, plagued by construction problems since the groundbreaking, encountered yet another setback in February when the vinyl flooring did not meet specifications. Its opening was postponed until mid-May. In actuality, it was July 9, 1969, before the Hospital was ready.
True to his promise, President McKay was in attendance, although confined to his limousine because of his frail health. His son, David Lawrence McKay, represented the Church leader on the speakers' stand. Other speakers were Bishop Vandenberg, Ogden Mayor Bart Wolthuis, and Medical Staff President Joe Amano, M.D.
Administrator Kenneth Knapp presented the keys to the front door of the Hospital to the venerable Church leader, promising "these doors will never be locked again."
One-hundred-fifty-four patients were transferred to the McKay from the Dee on July 12, 1969, in two hours and 40 minutes. The flawlessly executed move was unmarred by incident, and patients and visitors alike exclaimed, "It isn't like a hospital at all ... it's more like a beautiful hotel."
The only unit remaining open in the Dee Hospital was the Tuberculosis Ward.
As patients and personnel settled into the new facility, three graduate physicians from the University of Utah began surgery residencies at the McKay under the direction of Dr. John A. Dixon. The new program sent surgery residents to the Hospital on a three to six months' rotation to work with local surgeons holding University faculty appointments.
Bids for the new Dee Hospital were opened January 15 in the office of the LDS Church Building Committee. They proved to be considerably higher than the money available and the architect was asked to prepare modifications in the plans.
Lawrence T. Dee and his son, Thomas D. Dee II, had been present at the bid opening and they were unwilling to compromise. In his understated way, "Laurie" Dee said, "So, we went back to Ogden and did a little telephoning around to the family and were able to come up with a quarter of a million dollars so we could have it like we wanted it."
The contract was awarded to Culp Construction Co. of Salt Lake City; test drilling on the site began March 16, 1970.
The community paid honor to the Dee Family on April 29, when Mayor Bart Wolthuis officially proclaimed "Dee Day," and community leaders gathered on the patio overlooking the beginnings of the new Dee Hospital. Bishop John H. Vandenberg thanked the family publicly for its "gracious contributions and support."
In June, Mr. Knapp accepted yet another contribution from a member of the Dee family, $25,000 from Joseph F. Barker to be used to memorialize his wife, the late Rosabelle Dee Barker.
The original Dee Hospital was officially closed on June 30 when patients in the State Tuberculosis Ward were moved to the Weber County Hospital. A farewell party was held for patients and staff.
A new operating structure for the LDS Church Hospitals was revealed in July, 1970, with the announcement of the formation of Health Services Corporation and the appointment of James O. Mason, M.D., as Commissioner of Health Services for the Church. Dr. Mason, deputy director of the National Communicable Diseases Center in Atlanta, Georgia, took over his new position in September, 1970.
A new Board of Trustees was called for HSC by the Presiding Bishop and the Governing Board of McKay-Dee was reorganized into a nine-member board with Stake President Albert L. Bott as chairman and Lawrence T. Dee as vice-chairman.
Contributions began to flow into the very successful Foundation. A special procedures operating room was endowed by Mrs. Clark Rich and her daughters in memory of their husband and father, Clark L. Rich, M.D.
Mrs. Margaret Dee Higginbotham made a $25,000 contribution to the Hospital. The new dining room in the Dee was named in her honor.
The J. Clyde Buehler family revealed plans to underwrite the construction of a helistop on the Hospital grounds close to the Emergency Room entrance.
The long-awaited mural for the lobby of the McKay was unveiled in special ceremonies on February 5, 1971. Mr. and Mrs. Norman B. Bingham and their children, donors of the mural, and artist Lorin Folland of Salt Lake City took part in the program. The mural is based on the philosophies of LDS Church President David O. McKay, as exemplified in his writings.
Six young doctors began three-year family practice residencies on July 1. Dr. George F. Snell, a family practitioner from Kaysville, was named to direct the University of Utah program at McKay-Dee.
The new residency ended the well-established internship program begun at the Dee in 1912, which trained some of Utah's finest physicians.
The Hospital helistop was officially opened on July 28 when donors Clyde and Eleanor Buehler were flown onto the pad by Key Airlines. Ceremonies were held on a warm afternoon in the shade of the Engineering building adjacent to the landing spot.
The first open heart surgery performed in the Ogden area was done at the McKay during November. Establishment of the unit and training of 40 perfusionists to operate the heart-lung by-pass pump were approved by the Governing Board after a comprehensive study by a medical staff and administration committee demonstrated a community need for the service. With three qualified thoracic surgeons on the staff, it was no longer necessary for patients to go to Salt Lake City for this life-saving surgery.
The new Dee Hospital was opened in special ceremonies on the afternoon of November 10, 1971 -- the 127th anniversary of the birth of Thomas D. Dee, in whose memory the original Dee Hospital was founded in 1910.
Thomas D. Dee II, speaking to some 200 members of the Hospital family and community leaders who gathered in Barker-Higginbotham Halls for the ceremonies, pledged the Dee family's continuing support.
With the opening of the new Dee, a new principle of patient care was introduced to the community. Called "Multi-Level Care," it was designed to admit the patient to the exact level of care required by the intensity of his illness and to provide him with the exact amount of professional and technological support he needs to overcome that illness.
In May, 1972, the Hospital was shaken when Mr. Knapp, administrator for 21 years, was named Associate Commissioner for Health Services Corporation, the hospital-operating entity of the LDS Church. A well-qualified successor, Kenneth C. Johnson, was transferred from Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City to become administrator of McKay-Dee.
Mr. Johnson began the first major remodeling project in the McKay early in 1973 on the second floor. It included addition of two more private labor rooms for a total of ten, and all labor rooms were enlarged to accommodate fetal heart monitoring equipment. The capacity of the Intensive Care Nursery was increased to eight isolettes, and a high risk delivery room was created adjacent to the ICN. A recovery area for mothers following delivery was added in the post-partum wing, and a fathers' waiting room was built. Total cost of the remodeling was $250,000.
Mrs. Edith Dee Mack Green, one of the Hospital's surviving founders, celebrated her 90th birthday on May 3, by giving $250,000 to build an auditorium and learning center complex on the B-level of the McKay.
Not more than six months later, her sons, Wade and Harold Mack and her granddaughter, Dee Ann Nye, memorialized the Physical Therapy department to their brother and father, Glen Dee Mack. Mrs. Nye followed this gift later by memorializing the Speech Pathology area to her son, Scott, who was killed in a climbing accident.
The area's first physiatrist, John M. Bender, M.D., joined the Hospital-based physician staff on July 1, 1974, to direct a new physical medicine and rehabilitation program, based in the Dee Hospital.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London

By Ian Darby, campaignlive.co.uk, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 11:06AM
Tilley, a former managing director of Zenith Media and a founding partner of the brand and communications consultancies Ingram and Unity, has worked as a consultant for the past five years.
At Talon, he will oversee all strategic brand and communications and provide a link to agencies, clients and media owners.
His arrival at the specialist, which recently captured the outdoor buying for independent media agency AMS Media from Kinetic, follows investment in the company last July from Eric Newnham, the former global chief executive of Kinetic.
Newnham, now the chief executive of Talon, said: "There are a lot of new opportunities emerging in the sector and we intend to embrace them. This means that integration, collaboration and strategic thinking must be at the heart of what we do.
"Andy has joined us to give an added dimension to this thinking. His track record speaks for itself."
Key brands Talon works with include Red Bull, Aberdeen Asset Management, Jagermeister and the National Health Lottery, and the agency now has an 18-strong team working on client business.
Tilley added: "When you consider the levels of innovation and investment in the out-of-home sector and the plethora of multilayered opportunities that it can now provide for clients and agencies, we need to ditch the 'paper-and-paste' thinking that permeates the industry and take a different approach.
"Technology has all but removed the delineations common to conventional channel thinking. The silo mentality has to go and make way for a more collaborative approach between agencies, clients and media owners – one that embraces digital, is agile and creative, and is able to integrate out-of-home into the broader media and marketing ecosystem."

Gove, Gove, Gove. Once again, I must ask: what are you doing? You've already played with GCSEs and A Levels to the point no teenager really understands fully what they're doing in the next part of their school years. And now you're changing the literature syllabus to remove important non-British works from the classroom.
Such works include American classics like The Crucible, To Kill A Mockingbird and Of Mice and Men, which is studied by 90% of students,[1] and works from other cultures like Purple Hibiscus and Follow the Rabbit Proof Fence.
These works are important. Not just because they're works of literature that have stood the test of time. But because as well as being able to be studied and teach us about symbolism and metaphors and all other things you do when you study them for a literature course, they teach us about other cultures and themes.
Of Mice and Men's themes include: power, privilege, friendship, racism, sexism, ageism, injustice, and prejudice. To Kill A Mockingbird's themes include: racism, education, bravery, and justice. Both are set in cultures different to our own, but have themes and ideas that are timeless, and relevant to life today.
I understand that the main point of the English literature course is to develop analysis skills. But you can do that with many pieces of literature, regardless of where they originate from-look at my language notes for the start of Of Mice and Men.
The new plans state that students should study "at least one play by Shakespeare, at least one 19th century novel, a selection of poetry since 1789, including representative Romantic poetry [and] fiction or drama from the British Isles from 1914 onwards" [3]. I can't see Grapes of Wrath or Of Mice and Men fitting into any of those categories. No, your four guidelines don't say you can't study other things too, but two years to study these four things in depth, alongside multiple other subjects, means that exam boards will probably want to steer clear of piling extra things on students, meaning they will likely be excluded.
Britain is a multicultural country. We have students of all races and backgrounds studying the course, and we don't need solely British Victorian viewpoints and ideas about poverty and romance, which is what the majority of Dickens and Austen is made up of.
Likewise, English is a multicultural language, spoken in most parts of the world either as a first or foreign language. It should not be surprising that quality literature written in English comes from all corners of the Earth. The study of world literature is important to broadening all our horizons.
Of course, British literature is important too. You know my love of Shakespeare, and works by Orwell and Huxley might go on the list to be studied, and some of these books are pretty good. But these aren't the easiest to understand and read and engage with. Difficulty levels really can put people off reading. One reason why 90% of students get taught Of Mice And Men is because it is short enough to be studied in depth, and the language is both accessible to lower level students and good for analysis for higher level ones.
No, you're not banning teenagers from reading these books. I get that these books will still be available to teens in bookshops and the dwindling number libraries that are still going. But according to the Reading Agency, 46% teenagers don't read for pleasure [4] . For some, the books they read in school will be the only books they read at all. Shouldn't the few books these people read showcase experiences and ideas other than those of long-long dead people, and be able to teach us something about cultures and issues both historical and contemporary? You are the secretary of state for education, Mr. Gove. Educate.

To try and do something about it, there are a number of petitions. What are your thoughts on the changes to the GCSE?
