Indie pop quartet Alt-J has won Britain's prestigious Mercury Prize, beating more established acts to the 20,000 pound (roughly $32,000) prize at the Roundhouse in north London.
Indie pop quartet Alt-J has won Britain's prestigious Mercury Prize, beating more established acts to the 20,000 pound (roughly $32,000) prize at the Roundhouse in north London.
Formed of four Leeds University students who met in 2007, the band's sharp but spare vocals, genre-bending sound and occasionally bizarre, nasal lyrics propelled them onto the charts well before its members found fame.
Critical reception to their debut album, "An Awesome Wave," was extremely favorable and the band was heavily tipped to beat artists including rapper Plan B and singer-songwriter Richard Hawley, who were also among the prize's 12 finalists.
Music journalists have praised the group's idiosyncratic song-building skills (and few failed to dwell on their bizarre name – it's the command needed to get a triangle shape on a Mac).

Jenny Stevens of NME praised their "bookish sensibility and penchant for a sexual metaphor," while the Guardian's Paul Lester said their music was "rich and quirky enough to match the imagistic literacy of the lyrics."
The Mercury Prize was established in 1992 to honor the best album of the year by a British or Irish band and often favors the eclectic and obscure over better-known acts.

† ♥ ✞ ♥ † God is never too late. The latest He can be is on time! † ♥ ✞ ♥ † God's timing is different and better than our timing ever could be. † ♥ ✞ ♥ † The Lord, God Will, Daily Reminder, Remember This, Perfect Time, God Is, Work Outs, God Time, Quotes Life
spiritualinspiration: We don't always understand God's methods. His ways don't always make sense to us, but we have to realize that God sees the big picture. Consider this possibility: You may be ready for what God has for you, but somebody else who is going to be involved is not ready yet. God has to do a work in another person or another situation before your prayer can be answered according to God's will for your life. All the pieces have to come together for it to be God's perfect time. But never fear; God is getting everything lined up in your life. You may not feel it; you may not see it. Your situation may look just like it did for the past ten years, but then one day, in a split second of time, God will bring it all together. When it is God's timing, all the forces of darkness can't stop Him. When it's your due season, God will bring it to pass. You must learn to trust God's timing. You can be sure that right now, God is arranging all the pieces to come together to work out His plan for your life. He has been working in your favor long before you encountered the problem. Don't grow impatient and try to force doors open. Don't try to make things happen in your own strength. The answer will come, and it will be right on time.

How to Afford a Luxurious Vacation on a Budget
Travel is regarded as one of the most enlightening activities; people who make a hobby out of traveling frequently are often considered uncommonly worldly and spiritual. Eventually, youthful backpacking and stays in hostels give way to a desire for relaxing vacations. The adventuresome wanderings of young people tend to transition into an enjoyment of more slow-paced trips. People start to view vacations as relaxing times with no obligations as opposed to occasions for activities.
But plane tickets, hotel rooms, restaurant meals and car rentals can quickly add up.
Seven ways to afford a luxury vacation

My Scammed Vacation: How to Avoid Vacation Disasters
This year was my twin sister Alyssa's last year in graduate school, so we planned what we thought we be the trip of a lifetime. Four of our closest friends, Miami beach, and six nights in a suite at the luxurious Fontainebleau Hotel. Unfortunately, our vacation dreams turned into a vacation disaster when we arrived at our hotel. Instead of a suite with the ability to fit six girls comfortably, we were put into a room that was meant for four or less. Ah!

Is the Southwest Credit Card All It's Cracked Up to Be?
Is it just me, or is choosing a credit card harder than making the at-the-table fries or tots decision? "They're so long and sleek! But they're bite-sized! You must choose for me! I can't possibly!" Almost two years ago, I decided to finally get a credit card and after much research, it came down to the Southwest Credit Card and the Capital One Venture Card. They are pretty equal when you compare their benefits, so I made my decision based on the successful relationship I've had with Southwest as a dependable airline – and Capital One was just another bank. It's 24 months later and I bet you are wondering –

How Much of a Ripoff Is Travel Size Shampoo?
Do you buy travel sized shampoo bottles? Of course you do. We've all been there. Packing for a trip and realizing you have no small containers. Or arriving at your destination and realizing – crap – you forgot to pack shampoo! Or even worse, your airline tossed your luggage out of the plane!

Travel size shampoo has it's place. But I don't want us to get lazy and buy them for the convenience.

Transcriptionist, Editor/Proofreader and CS Rep
United States - Last active: 4 days ago - Tests: 5 - Portfolio: 4
I am a transcriber with a recent passion for the work. I pride myself on professionalism, accuracy, and my ability to meet or exceed deadlines. I have worked on a number of transcription projects with a variety of topics, accents, and final editing (with and without background noise, completely professional instructional videos and off-the-cuff recordings). I am flexible with my work time and willing to negotiate rate and deadlines to meet your needs. In general, I work on transcripts with intelligent verbatim and a standard format outlining speakers by name (if supplied) unless custom formatting and word-for-word transcription is requested. You won't see samples of my work in my portfolio because my clients trust me with their projects and their confidentiality. However, I am able to supply a few samples upon request and those which I do have are from clients who have given me permission to share. Since UpWork does not offer transcription tests, I am also happy to transcribe a short file (up to five minutes long) of your choosing to display my work. My excellent feedback and my experience on UpWork should provide you with some level of confidence that I am a professional freelancer and communication is the absolute key for me. Working online means communication is the most important thing because we can't sit down and catch up at the end of the week or walk by each others' office and check in here and there, so I value a great, open line of dialogue between myself and my client. My primary focus on UpWork has been transcription, but I am also available for editing and proofreading, general online customer service and voice over projects. I have educational and professional experience in all three of these fields. PLEASE NOTE: My profile lists me as living in the US. This is because my mailing address is a US Army Post Office box (just like any other PO box), but I am currently living in Germany with my husband who is in the Army. We are in the Berlin time zone. I am typically available for work Monday through Friday from 7:30 am through 6:00 pm Berlin time and most often I'm available later and on weekends.

Hillary's Wiretaps
Documents from whistle-blower Edward Snowden and published by The Guardian indicate that the NSA tapped the phones of 35 foreign leaders without their knowledge or permission. The revelation comes on top of the existing controversy surrounding taps placed on the phones of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Mexican President Felipe Calderon.
But these disclosures beg the question: Who knew about the taps? Who got the intercepts? Obviously, the Secretary of State knew, approved, and authorized the taps. At the very least, she obviously got the intercept texts and/or intelligence reports based on them.
Domestic NSA spying is President Obama's scandal.
Foreign NSA spying is Hillary Clinton's scandal.
As a potential candidate for president, Hillary owes us an explanation of her role in the decision to wiretap and why she authorized it or, at the very least, let it continue.
We know that Hillary frequently is prone to demanding extensive investigation of personal information. Early in her term as secretary of state, she ordered her staff to prepare memos on the personal habits of foreign diplomats and to provide any information they happened upon to the agency so as to develop a profile on these officials.
Snowden's revelations also suggest that "a U.S. official provided NSA with 200 phone numbers to 35 world leaders … Despite the fact that the majority is probably available via open source, the PCs [intelligence production centers] have noted 43 previously unknown phone numbers. These numbers plus several others have been tasked."
The document continues by saying the new phone numbers had helped the agency discover still more new contact details to add to their monitoring: "These numbers have provided lead information to other numbers that have subsequently been tasked."
Question: Was the official in question an employee or contractor with the State Department? Did Hillary materially aid in the eavesdropping?
Hillary must come out of hiding to answer these questions. Having resigned, she will not be at the G-8 summit when the foreign leaders grill Obama and John Kerry on the taps. But she should be, and she must answer these questions.
More to the point, the media must insist that she answer them.
This is Hillary's scandal. Let her answer for it.

Hands, and Hearts, Filled With Twins
By LESLIE CHESS FELLER
Published: May 9, 1999
TWINS, these days, seem to be everywhere. Although septuplets and octuplets have attracted national attention lately, statistics show that twin births are up 47 percent nationwide from 1980 to 1996.
High-order multiples (triplets or more) are extremely rare. In most multiple births, the babies come in twos, but, even then, carrying them to term isn't always easy.
''From trying to conceive, to dealing with a twin pregnancy, which frequently ends in premature labor, it can be a real roller-coaster ride,'' said Leah Rumbaugh, a Greenwich resident who is president of Mothers of Multiples of Lower Fairfield County. She estimates that 315 of its 375 members are mothers of twins.
''We have quite a number of first-time moms who are in their early 40's,'' she said of her group, which is the largest such club in Connecticut.
Some experts, like the reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Michael Doyle of Norwalk, attribute the jump in twin births to the increasing number of older women opting for motherhood. ''For reasons that are still somewhat unclear, with age, twinning occurs in natural conception with more frequency,'' he said. ''Also older women are more apt to have medical conditions that require fertility treatments which can cause multiple births.''
Dr. Doyle said he believes the latter circumstance accounts for 90 percent of twins born in recent years.
Dr. Doyle is the father of fraternal twins, a boy and girl 8 years old. His first son was also conceived after years of fertility treatments.
''I had already chosen my sub-specialty before my wife and I knew we had a problem,'' he said.
The average age of Dr. Doyle's patients is about 38. One-third of the patients are more than 40 and one-fifth are more than 42. ''Many are high-powered career women who are accustomed to making pragmatic decisions,'' he said. ''Once an accurate diagnosis is made, the options become clear.''
Fertility problems that can be surgically approached include scar tissue that blocks fallopian tubes, endometriosis, fibroids or cysts. Those interfering with either ovulation or implantation can respond to hormone therapy or in vitro fertilization.
Success rates have dramatically improved with the development of pure synthetic drugs and injectable hormones. Techniques for handling embryos in the laboratory during in vitro fertilization have also been refined.
Dr. Doyle said the pregnancy rate is now 40 percent per try as compared to 10 percent a decade ago. In addition to donor sperm, donor eggs are now an option, offering a 70 percent success rate and enabling women even in their 50's to give birth, Dr. Doyle added.
Dr. Doyle said that out of the 360 live births by his patients during 1998, there were 85 sets of twins, 4 sets of triplets and 271 singletons. He usually does 250 to 300 in vitro fertilization cases every year and said 75 percent of his patients have either complete or significant insurance coverage. In vitro fertilization costs range from $8,000-10,000 per attempt.
In eight years of practice, Dr. Doyle has had only one set of quadruplets, an outcome he does his best to avoid. ''Women were not meant to carry seven or eight babies,'' he said. ''Such pregnancies are not God's will. They're the result of modern science and they are dangerous for both mother and babies.''
''Words cannot express my gratitude to Dr. Doyle,'' said Karen Dolan of Norwalk, who underwent several unsuccessful surgeries in an effort to open her blocked fallopian tubes. She and her husband, Joe, are veterans of three in vitro fertilization attempts. The first produced a daughter, Anne, now 5; the second failed to achieve a pregnancy.
''We decided to give it one last shot,'' she said, ''and, at 38, I gave birth to fraternal twin boys.''
Ms. Dolan, once the general manager of Lord & Taylor in Danbury, is now happy to be a stay-at-home mom. ''Now it's time to put all my energy into being a mom,'' she said. ''I don't want to miss a single moment.''
''For me,'' Ms. Dolan added, ''trying to conceive was like going to war. I ate the right foods. I worked out every day. I did everything to create the best possible environment for a healthy pregnancy.''
At 5 feet 2 inches, Ms. Dolan described her pregnancy as physically very stressful. ''I think it was only twins because my body could not have handled any more,'' she said, adding that had she been carrying triplets, she would not have reduced the number of fetuses.
''Dr. Doyle knew how I felt about that,'' she said. ''He knew how many embryos to put back to prevent too many babies.''
''Selective reduction is a big issue,'' said Dr. Doyle, describing a surgical procedure that eliminates fetuses in the womb, while allowing others to develop normally. ''I discuss it with my patients when deciding on appropriate therapy. If I know a woman won't feel able to reduce in the event of a multi-fetal pregnancy that would be dangerous for her and her babies, then I will put back fewer embryos. The end result is much less random than people perceive it to be.''

The $6.6 billion valuation includes Djezzy.
October 5, 2010 9:11 by Reuters
Vimpelcom will attempt to broker a deal with the Algerian government to retain ownership of telecoms group Djezzy following its $6.6 billion deal for the Weather empire, CEO Alexander Izosimov told Reuters on Monday.
"We had to accept that risk (around Djezzy), but we are absolutely open to a deal with the Algerian government … we believe it will be a fair process and we will find a solution," he told Reuters Insider Television.
The $6.6 billion valuation includes Djezzy. Algeria had wanted to buy back Djezzy from previous owner, Egypt's Naguib Sawiris.
Izosimov said he would travel to Algeria to join a delegation led by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev later this week.

|B&H Español repeats Publisher of the Year honor
|Written by Christine D. Johnson
|Monday, 05 May 2014 08:17 AM EDT
The Spanish Evangelical Publishers Association (SEPA) has named B&H Español, the Spanish division of B&H Publishing Group, Publisher of the Year for the second consecutive year. Held last week in Miami, Expolit is designed to promote the growth of ministry and resources within Hispanic markets.
B&H also received awards for Best Bible (RVR 1960 Biblia de Premios y Regalo/RVR 1960 Gift and Award Bible); Best Specialty Bible (RVR 1960 Biblia del Pescador/RVR 1960 Fisher of Men); Best Study Bible With Notes (RVR 1960 Biblia de Estudio Arco Iris/RVR 1960 Rainbow Study Bible); and Best Reference or Consulting Book (Diccionario Ilustrado Bíblico Holman/Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary).
In addition, B&H received Honor Gallery Silver status (more than 100,000 copies sold) for RVR 1960 Biblia del Pescador/RVR 1960 Fisher of Men and Honor Gallery Platinum status (more than 500,000 copies sold) for RVR 1960 Biblia de Estudio Arco Iris/RVR 1960 Rainbow Study Bible.
The RVR 1960 Biblia del Pescador/RVR 1960 Fisher of Men Bible received the award for Best Cover and Interior Design. This unique Bible focuses on evangelism, discipleship and ministry, and is edited by pastor Luis Ángel Díaz-Pabón, president of the Global Missionary Society.
"We are honored and humbled by this recognition," said B&H President Selma Wilson. "B&H is blessed to be able to work with great partners to share the gospel with the world."
SEPA, the Association of Christian Resources Providers serves as a focal point in the evangelical publishing community to achieve dialogue, organize activities and events that promote the distribution of Christian resources.

In journalism school at Columbia in New York, I met and worked with Mohammed Omer, a Gaza-born Palestinian man I sincerely admire and respect. Mohammed is known for his reporting from the territories and, in 2008, for accusing Israeli forces of abusing him at the Allenby Bridge, in an incident that drew international attention.Imagery over the last two weeks of mothers frozen by the sight of their fallen children, and of ramshackle homes reduced further to rubble, has brought Mohammed to mind. And this past week, he wrote in The Nation that he is back in Gaza, with his wife and their newborn child, living once again through the percussion of an Israeli military campaign.Having never lived in a city under siege, I can only imagine the fear. Certainly, as a resident not directly affiliated with Hamas, Mohammed has some legitimate questions over why he, his wife and child are living through what surely constitutes a Palestinian nightmare.As a colleague, a friend and a human being, I will be praying for the safety of Mohammed and everyone else affected by this conflict. But as a journalist, Mohammed's words in The Nation touched a nerve – not only because they present inaccuracies as fact, but because they serve to perpetuate a narrative that will entrench this conflict even further.Most egregiously, Mohammed calls Gaza a ghetto, the size of "Lodz, Krakow and Warsaw rolled into one," in which the government of the Jewish state is committing crimes reminiscent of the Holocaust. It should not take an article in The Jerusalem Post, or in any newspaper, to remind people what happened during the Holocaust; and yet in the Arab world, there is a relentless effort to simultaneously deny that the event occurred and to also use the event as a point of comparison for Israel's treatment of Palestinians.Israel's operation in Gaza does not constitute a war crime – not even by the standards of the secretary- general of the United Nations, where the General Assembly serves as a forum for the maligning of Israel on a weekly basis. Comparing the historic genocide of 6 million people to the unintended deaths of hundreds of civilians – who have been warned through text message, leaflets, free media calls and every other notice possible before each precision strike against Hamas, an organization recognized as a terrorist enterprise by the European Union and the United States – is beyond uneducated.In fact, it is dangerous: because not only does it grossly understate what large-scale, state-sponsored, systematic murder actually looks like, but it suggests that the Israeli government wants Palestinians to die. And that is simply false.Perhaps the fact that this notion prevails can explain, even before this conflict began and three Israeli teenagers were shot in the West Bank, why a commanding 68 percent of Gazans were found to actively oppose a two-state solution, according to a poll sponsored by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Most Gazans support continued violent "resistance" against the very existence of Israel as a state; and even those in the minority, ostensibly in favor of a peace accord, see such a deal as merely one step in a longer process toward the "restoration of historic Palestine" – Israel, a country of 8 million, disappeared.Swallowing those numbers is difficult. Because throughout conflicts past, on every continent throughout the last century, there have been peoples that have felt desperate and oppressed; and yet not all have resorted to terrorism and violence in pursuit of independence.Non-violent civil disobedience shook India in 1915, Egypt in 1919, Germany in 1989 and the United States in the 1960s – and yet no such political debate exists in Gaza, where the conversation defaults to a sense of victimhood, and to an assumption that only "resistance" is a feasible manifestation of their anger.And so a blockade is formed, because Israel is told, in no uncertain terms, that when permits are granted to Gazans for concrete for the construction of infrastructure, schools and hospitals, a majority of that material goes instead to the construction of tunnels, used to smuggle in projectiles aimed at whomever they can possibly hit on the other side – "all Israelis are targets," Hamas has said, repeatedly.There are so many decision points that have led to this moment, where Israel is acting, at great risk and expense. Hamas does not have to rule; the tunnels do not have to be built; plumbing pipes can replace rocket components in shipments; those rockets don't have to be fired. The children can and must be moved when they are warned that strikes are coming.And yet at each of these decision points, the Palestinian community in Gaza assumes not an iota of responsibility. All of those actions are apparently a foregone conclusion; they must resist, toward the completely futile goal of Israel's ultimate disappearance.They fail to entertain the possibility that Israel's policies might be a reaction to that absurd, yet existential notion, and to a series of actions taken over a sustained period by a leadership the people of Gaza have chosen, and continue to endorse.This Palestinian complex of victimhood, and perspective that Israel is an aggressor, fundamentally clashes with the fact that Israelis hate these conflicts, and are, like everyone else, sickened at the thought of children dying. A majority of Israelis still actively favor a permanent two-state solution. But these military operations will continue until one of two events occurs definitively: the Gazan government of Hamas chooses to prioritize the construction of Gaza over the destruction of Israel, or the international community mandates it through the demilitarization of Hamas.That is Israel's stark imperative; and casualty counts will never reflect that. Perhaps resistance is a manifestation of pride among a people ambivalent in their self-identification as victims. But Gaza must understand that all of these decisions made along the way guarantee an Israeli response, every time, not because Israel is an aggressor, but because it is one of 196 states with a basic requirement to protect its citizens.That is why all parties in the Quartet on the Middle East – the United Nations, the United States, the European Union and Russia – called on Hamas to renounce violence, recognize the State of Israel, respect previous agreements and work with Israel's security forces. Hamas is not a foregone conclusion; Hamas, and the hate it represents, is a choice.In a pointed choice of composer, Mohammed said that Israel's operation is like a Wagner crescendo to the ears of his three-month-old newborn; that, despite holding EU citizenship, he has brought his young boy to his "beloved ancestral home," because, "what else can I do?" Mohammed: just like your community, of course you have a choice. Choose better governance, reflecting the interests of your family instead of vicious sensibilities. Choose to push back against the false notion that an entire nation to your north wants your child dead when, in reality, your neighbors simply want your government to prioritize civil projects over projectiles. And should you choose to reject all of these fateful decision points along the way, and find yourself shocked that there are consequences: choose to keep your child out of a war zone if you have somewhere else to go.

An insurance company chased a 15-year-old for compensation after a wayward cricket ball hit and dented a car parked close to a cricket ground.
Wellington College pupil Taine Forster, 15, was billed $759 by AA Insurance after a ball he hit at Happy Valley Park on December 1, while practising batting and catches with a team-mate, landed on the roof of a car parked on a nearby street.
The claim stunned both Taine's parents and College Sport Wellington executive John Hornal, who said he had never heard of such an action.
Taine received a letter from AA Insurance last week saying the ball had caused $759 in damage to a customer's car and the company wanted the sum paid by March 3.
Taine, who had never hit a ball into a car before, said it made a very small dent.
"I was really surprised it was going to cost that much. I thought insurance covered that sort of thing. I don't think it'd be a good idea if everyone playing sport had to pay whenever something like this happened. It happens quite a lot at practice."
Hornal said balls were always hitting cars "but I haven't heard of an insurance company getting involved, not in my 25 years".
College Sport held indemnity insurance but it did not cover this sort of accident.
"There are all sorts of opportunities for this sort of thing to happen.
"When you're driving to the airport past St Pat's College and Kilbirnie Park, I'd say there's plenty of times a ball of some sort could hit you."
Taine's mother Carole said she found the letter "astonishing".
"Firstly, I find it strange that they sent it to a 15-year-old and not his parents.
"Mostly though, I think the person parking beside the sportsground should accept the risk," she said.
"If we start charging children and their parents, many of whom can't afford the likes of $759, because a ball hits a vehicle, then they'll just stop playing sport."
Yesterday, Taine's uncle, lawyer Eric Forster, emailed the company questioning how he could be legally responsible.
"He was playing cricket at a cricket ground. The insured parked his car next to the cricket ground.
"Taine hit the ball that went over a high netting fence and hit the insured's car.
"Your claim is defective because it does not explain why he is legally responsible. So it is denied," he wrote.
Within an hour of The Dominion Post contacting AA Insurance, Forster received a call from the company to inform her the matter would not be taken any further.
The company's head of customer relations, Suzanne Wolton, then sent a statement saying the case had been reviewed prior to the media inquiry.
"Taine was not negligent and therefore not liable for the damage caused to our customer's vehicle.
"We will not be pursuing this further, and have let Taine's mother, as well as our customer know."
Forster said she believed they would still have been expected to pay had a lawyer and the media not become involved.

Deferral of Annuity Purchase. The text of a Press Release issued by the Minister for Finance on 4 December 2008 is as follows: Minister for Finance announces option for members of Defined Contribution occupational pension schemes to defer annuity purchase The Minister for Finance, Mr. Brian Lenihan T.D., today announced that he is to provide an option for members of Defined Contribution occupational pension schemes to defer the purchase of a retirement annuity with their pension funds for a specified two year period. Under current arrangements, members of Defined Contribution occupational pension schemes are, in general, obliged to purchase an annuity immediately on retirement with the remainder of their pension fund after taking their tax-free lump sum. The Minister said "I am conscious of the difficulties facing many members of Defined Contribution schemes who are retiring at the present time and whose pension funds have been very badly affected by the falls in equity markets and the more general falls in asset values over the recent past. I propose to remove the obligation on those individuals to purchase an annuity immediately on retirement and to give them the breathing space to make a choice on when to purchase the annuity. I should stress that in giving individuals the option to purchase the annuity immediately or within the two year deferral period, there is no guarantee that they will get better value if they postpone the decision to purchase to a later date. Those individuals who are retiring now or approaching retirement should take this into account. In this regard and as part of this initiative, the Pensions Board will publish appropriate risk guidance in this matter in the near future" Under the deferral arrangement, which will be operated on an administrative basis by the Revenue Commissioners, Members of defined contribution occupational pension plans who retire in the period from 4 December 2008 to 31 December 2010 will have the option of taking their tax-free lump sum and purchasing a retirement annuity immediately on retirement or to take the lump sum and defer the purchase, subject to agreement with their scheme trustee, up to and including 31 December 2010 by which date the concession of an option will end. The Revenue Commissioners are finalising the detailed arrangements of this initiative with the pensions industry. The purpose of this Revenue Circular is to advise Pension Providers as to how the scheme will operate. 1. The deferral period will operate from 4 December 2008 until 31 December 2010. All individuals who choose the deferral option must purchase an annuity on or before 31/12/2010, regardless of their date of retirement. 2. The concession does not apply to holders of a Retirement Annuity Contract, a Personal Retirement Savings Account or to proprietary directors who qualify for ARF options. 3. An individual who wishes to exercise an ARF option in respect of AVCs should do so on or before the date of annuity purchase. 4. Prior to taking a tax-free lump sum, the individual must opt for a specific type of annuity. This option may be altered at any time during the deferral period. 5. Prior to availing of the purchase deferral option, the individual should consider taking appropriate professional advice. Any Guidance Notes issued by the Pensions Board must be complied with. 6. Any alteration to scheme deeds, rules and/or policy conditions to reflect the deferred annuity option will not impact on the existing Revenue approval of the scheme/arrangement. 7. The concession is entirely optional and can only take place with the agreement of the scheme trustees and the member. 8. In the event of the death of the member prior to annuity purchase, the deferred annuity purchase option may be offered to a spouse and/or a dependant. In the vent of there being no dependants the value of the deceased member's fund will form part of his/her estate. All enquiries in relation to the operation of the concession should be addressed to Revenue's Financial Services (Pensions) Business Unit. Tel. 6474022, email firstname.lastname@example.com

Single Use Packs, made using straws and a lighter. Great for traveling! This would work for all kinds of things like toothpaste, etc. Seals, Antibiotics Ointment, Idea, Single Us, First Aid Kits, Lighter, Diy Single, Straws, Antibiotics Packs
DIY Single use topical abc antibiotic ointment + unused drinking straw + pliers to pinch & lighter to seal ends! Tada- travel 1st aide! Love this idea.
MAKE YOUR OWN SINGLE USE ANTIBIOTIC PACKS /////// It is often too cumbersome to carry a big tube of antibiotic ointment. As for me personally, I would love to throw a small pack like the ones shown here, in my purse or backpack and just go. But from what I read in these articles, it's 69 cents a pack. Not that it is super expensive but this is an even cheaper way. Brilliant really. ///////////// NOTE: I've yet to have one of these burst or fail on me. Simple, affordable, and very convenient. /////////// MATERIALS: 1.) A tube of antibiotic ointment. 2.) A plastic drinking straw (preferably transparent). 3.) a Bic lighter 4.) needle-nose pliers. ////////////// DIRECTIONS: STEP ONE: Place the straw over the opening of the ointment tube and carefully squeeze in a small amount of the ointment that is approximately one quarter of an inch in length. (You'll notice that transparent straws work best for this). Use you fingers to squeeze the end of the straw so that it pushes the ointment further up inside the plastic straw. This will provide a clean area for sealing the end of the straw without having the ointment ooze out while you are holding it with your pliers. STEP TWO: Hold the end of the straw with your needle-nose pliers so that a small amount of the straw is protruding. This will be used to melt and seal the end of the straw. Take your Bic lighter and carefully melt the end of the straw so that it forms a seal. I like to quickly pinch the melted end with my pliers to ensure a good seal. STEP THREE: Turn the straw around and find the point where the ointment went up to inside the straw. Pinch just past that with your needle-nose pliers and cut off the excess straw with a pair of scissors making sure to leave a small amount of the straw protruding for sealing with your lighter just as you did in the first step. //////////////// Now you have a single use packet of antibiotic ointment that you can carry with you as part of your UL backpacking first aid kit.

Painted wood floor: fill in any large gouges or scrapes, and sand the entire floor lightly. you can use nearly any paint on the floor, but if you're concerned about it rubbing off with traffic, talk to the people in the paint store/department. you can also get clear acrylic sealer to paint over the floor once it's dried and once cured, it'll protect the paint job.
