WASHINGTON, March 5, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "This new policy is not a victory because Facebook continues to make it too easy for dangerous people to evade a background check when buying guns. A mere warning to follow the law and community-based reporting will not do enough to prevent unchecked gun sales to dangerous people," says Daniel Gross, President of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "As we and thousands of others have told Facebook, unlicensed gun sales have no place on the social network. Facebook should prohibit all posts that advertise the unlicensed sale or transfer of firearms in the United States. Sadly, it's only a matter of time before a gun purchased through Facebook without a background check is used in a terrible tragedy. "
"Facebook and Instagram are great platforms to share opinions, memories and photos, but they shouldn't be providing opportunities for criminals to evade background checks and get guns," says Heidi Yewman, spokesperson for the Million Mom March and Brady Campaign Chapters. "As a parent, I'm disappointed that an industry leader like Facebook is way behind on such an important issue involving the safety and security of us all. I stand with moms across the country and ask that Facebook and Instagram join Craigslist, Google and eBay and prohibit unlicensed gun sales."
The mission of the Brady organization is to create a safer America that will lead to the dramatic reduction in gun deaths and injuries.
The Million Mom March, united with the Brady Campaign, is a nationwide network of grassroots chapters and activists who work to promote sensible gun laws across the country. The "Million Mom March" rally was the largest of its kind, uniting mothers across the country on Mother's Day in 2000 on the National Mall in Washington, DC in order to promote stronger gun violence prevention measures.

Digital Transformation is the ultimate goal of cloud computing and related initiatives. The phrase is certainly not a precise one, and as subject to hand-waving and distortion as any high-falutin' terminology in the world of information technology. Yet it is an excellent choice of words to describe what enterprise IT—and by extension, organizations in general—should be working to achieve. Digital Transformation means: handling all the data types being found and created in the organizat...

Writer, Editor, Designer and Publishing Consultant
United Kingdom - Last active: 2 days ago - Tests: 10 - Portfolio: 1
Professional. Dependable. Personal. You deal direct with me, so there are no middlemen, no distributed teams, and no missed deadlines! I can take your book from "good" to "great". I can write web site words that work. And I do deliver! Don't take my word for it; listen to what others have to say: "I never had to worry about the quality and delivery times." "I can tell you if Tony makes you a promise, he keeps it." "He is responsive, extremely good at what he does, a pleasure to work with." "If you need a great writer who is smart and a pleasure to work with, look no further." While some other Upworkers rate their own writing, editing, and publishing prowess, I have consistently tested in the top 10% (often higher) for specific skills here on Upwork. ARE YOU WRITING AND / OR PUBLISHING A BOOK? Try searching for the following books on Amazon.com, to see just a few of the books that I helped take from "good" to "great" as the editor and / or book designer (depending on the book). Note the nice reviews ;-) The Emotionally Intelligent Investor by Ravee Mehta Love Food that Loves You Back by Dorothy Holtermann Ultimate Gastric Sleeve Success by Dr. Vuong Unintentionally Celibate by Olive B Persimmon I help authors takes their embryonic manuscripts all the way to Amazon in print (usually via CreateSpace) and Kindle formats, from developmental editing all the way to final formatting. Other providers may (or may not) be able to write grammatically good English, but do they also have a real "way with words" to tell your story? DO YOU PUBLISH A WEB SITE, BLOG OR MAGAZINE? I have worked with web site owners (more details on request) and have regularly been commissioned by the likes of Barclays Stockbrokers, Microsoft, and other leading companies to provide very accessible educational content. I have written feature articles and article series for financial journals such as The Motley Fool and SpreadBet Magazine, and feature articles for IT magazines such as The Java Developers' Journal and C#-Today. Not to mention my contributions to a blog about erectile dysfunction (don't laugh). As an editor I have helped many authors get their articles, dissertations, web content and book manuscripts into good shape with good English... whether British or American. WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MY BACKGROUND? Before becoming an independent Word wordsmith and self-publishing guru (yes, really) here on Upwork, I was published by traditional publishers including John Wiley & Sons (academic and technical), Wrox Press (IT) and Harriman House (business and finance). In former lives I have been an IT consultancy practice manager, an Associate Lecturer with the UK's Open University, and a private stock trader. And I was once in a band that you'll never have heard of! HOW WILL I WORK WITH YOU? I will do exactly what I say I will do, when I say I will do it. I won't even pitch for your project if I don't think I can do it, so you can be confident that you won't have to go elsewhere to "finish the job" or to put right what I have done wrong. Like I said at the start: you deal direct with me, so there are no middlemen, no distributed teams, and no missed deadlines! Actually, I'm fairly picky about the projects I pitch for, and I only take one or two significant jobs at a time that I think are "right up my street". Your project is important, so you should be picky too, and I hope you pick me as your perfect partner. Professional. Dependable. Personal. That's me :-)

Thanks for contacting the bra doctor.
If the cups are digging in at the armpit this can mean that the cup is either too big or not big enough. The wires should fit behind the breast tissue under the arm but it should not be so high that it digs in under the arm. If the wire is sitting on the breast tissue it will dig in and rub.
If the bra rides up at the back and does not sit straight below the shoulder blades then the band width is too big.
Please see a link to our fitting video here to see how a bra should fit.
We do strongly recommend that you visit your nearest Freya stockist and be professionally fitted. You can find your nearest stockist here.
love Freya
Thanks for consulting the Bra Doctor.
Why don't you try a soft cup bra such as Dotty or Pollyanna.
Thanks for contacting the Bra Doctor.
I am sorry to hear your Deco bra has started to come apart on the strap. You do need to consult with Debenhams where it was originally purchased with regards to their returns policy.
It is very difficult to tell your true size from measurements as we find these can be up to 70% incorrect. We would recommend going to your nearest Freya stockist to be professionally fitted. You can find your nearest stockist here.
To ensure you are wearing the correct size and style for your bust shape please visit one of our stockists where one of our professional fitters will fit you properly. You can find your nearest stockist here.
love Freya
If you are uncertain which Freya bra size you are why not visit your nearest stockist and one of our professionals can ensure you are fitted in the correct size and style for your shape. You can find your nearest stockist here.
Please see here for our Active sports soft cup bra.
The sizings for swimwear and lingerie are the same, so your bikini size would be 70F (32F), although some women prefer for their swimwear to be slightly less time around the back in which case it would be 75F (34F).
The Code AA3421 was for our Retro range which has since been replaced by Rio, which we still make and you can view it here. Unfortunately the largest back size Rio goes up to is 38, so you could try a 38F.

Many of the pieces in this collection have long been recognized as stepping stones to the major violin repertoire, while others are newly published works.
About Suzuki Method
The Suzuki Method is based on the principle that all children possess ability and that this ability can be developed and enhanced through a nurturing environment. All children learn to speak their own language with relative ease and if the same natural learning process is applied in teaching other skills, these can be acquired as successfully. Suzuki referred to the process as the Mother Tongue Method and to the whole system of pedagogy as Talent Education. The important elements of the Suzuki approach to instrumental teaching include the following:an early start (aged 3-4 is normal in most countries); the importance of listening to music; learning to play before learning to read; -the involvement of the parent; a nurturing and positive learning environment; a high standard of teaching by trained teachers; the importance of producing a good sound in a balanced and natural way; core repertoire, used by Suzuki students across the world; social interaction with other children. Suzuki students from all over the world can communicate through the language of music./p

In new guidance issued today, global IT association ISACA outlines five principles organizations can use to effectively govern and manage their information and technology.
The principles, which form the core of the COBIT 5 framework, benefit all enterprises, regardless of size, geography or industry. A new white paper, titled "COBIT 5 Principles: Where Did They Come From?" offers insight into the widely used governance and management framework, including why the following five principles are key:
- Meeting Stakeholder Needs—It is critical to define and link enterprise goals and IT-related goals to best support stakeholder needs.
- Covering the Enterprise End to End—Companies must shift from managing IT as a cost to managing IT as an asset, and business managers must take on the accountability for governing and managing IT-related assets within their own functions.
- Applying a Single Integrated Framework—Using a single, integrated governance framework can help organizations deliver optimum value from their IT assets and resources.
- Enabling a Holistic Approach—Governance of enterprise IT (GEIT) requires a holistic approach that takes into account many components, also known as enablers. Enablers influence whether something will work. COBIT 5 features seven enablers for improving GEIT, including principles, policies and frameworks; processes; culture; information and people.
- Separating Governance From Management—Governance processes ensure goals are achieved by evaluating stakeholder needs, setting direction through prioritization and decision making; and monitoring performance, compliance and progress. Based on the results from governance activities, business and IT management then plan, build, run and monitor activities to ensure alignment with the direction that was set.
"Understanding these principles will help a company effectively use COBIT to make better IT-related investments and decisions, and to drive more value from their information and technology assets," said Robert Stroud, CGEIT, CRISC, international president of ISACA. "COBIT is practical and effective for all types of enterprises, helping to ensure everyone is moving in the same direction and speaking the same language."
The "COBIT 5 Principles" white paper is available as a free download at www.isaca.org/COBIT5-Principles. The COBIT 5 framework can be downloaded free of charge at www.isaca.org/COBIT.
COBIT 5 online will launch later this year with customizable RACI charts and goals cascades. In the meantime, a preview is available at cobitonline.isaca.org.

New York husband and father of three takes vow of chastity as he becomes a newly ordained Catholic priest
- John Cornelius, 63, took a vow of chastity to become a married Catholic priest Saturday
He truly is a fatherly priest.
John Cornelius, a husband and father of three, took a vow of chastity to become a married Catholic priest Saturday in a traditional ordination ceremony.
His wife and three daughters watched from the pews as Cornelius, 64, started the ceremony wearing a white robe and later was covered in priestly garments as he swore his faith to God.
Cornelius remained quiet as he was ordained, but showed his enthusiasm soon after.
Fatherly father: John Cornelius, a husband and father of three, took a vow of chastity to become a married Catholic priest Saturday in a traditional ordination ceremony.
'It's wonderful. I feel like I've been working my whole life to answer God's call and here I am,' the former Episcopal priest told the New York Daily News.
The 20-minute ordination took place in Immaculate Conception Church in Wellsville, New York, and was presided over by Buffalo Bishop Richard Malone and several other priests who prayed over Cornelius as he submitted himself.
Cornelius' wife of 33 years, Sharyl, gave her blessings during the ceremony, despite the reality that it means giving up sexual relations with her husband. She too promised to take a vow of chastity.
For his part, Cornelius now has a new mission in life.
'I've raised three girls already,' he said Friday.
The 20-minute ordination took place in Immaculate Conception Church in Wellsville, New York, and was presided over by Buffalo Bishop Richard Malone and several other priests who prayed over Cornelius as he submitted himself
Cornelius, who was previously an Episcopal priest for 20 years, found his new role with the support of his family.
'I have always had friends that are Roman Catholic priests and I appreciate what they've given up to serve god and the priesthood,' he told WGRZ-TV on Wednesday.
'I have such appreciation and affection for these guys, that it's just part of my own spirituality to do this...out of respect for them really.'
Cornelius and his wife became Catholics after he left his former church two years ago, unhappy with its direction.
But he was unable to make the move to priesthood until Pope Benedict XVI issued an order saying married former priests could be ordained a year ago.
'When they did that, I just jumped,' said Cornelius, 'I needed someplace where there was order. I've been a Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist...messed around with Bahá'í, Harikrishna...I was almost an Anarchist in college...so it's been a search, and it's really been a search for order.'
Supportive: Sharyl Cornelius, center, has opted to voluntarily take a vow of chastity as well. The couple have three grown-up daughters, pictured.
The couple weren't forced to make the decision to opt for celibacy but put themselves forward anyway.
'We don't have to take that particular vow,' Cornelius said, 'We have decided to do that voluntarily'.
Though the decision came easy to him it was a long process to be approved for ordination - it even included a psychological examination.
'It wasn't easy. We had one dossier that went to Rome where they did research on us, and I had to go see the shrink, the psychologist, and other people,' he said.
'But even that only determined that you didn't have really bad things in your background that prevents you from being a priest...and then there was 14 weeks of intense instruction over the internet which was taught by St. Mary's Seminary in Houston, Texas.'
Cornelius is now among the first 30 Episcopal priests throughout the U.S. to make the transition to Catholicism.
Starting Monday he will lead the Fellowship of Saint Alban in Henrietta (Diocese of Rochester), a small community of former Anglicans who have joined the Catholic Church.

Things you'll need:
1. i have no idea how it's called, but you can see it in the photo. you shoul buy it in 3 shades of a color, i had 3 blue tones, but third one was all gone.

ok, let's just call it nice elastic band. (it MUST be elastic!)
2. scissors

5. needle
6. threads matching to all of the colors used
and an old bikini of course ;) push-up looks good on small breast like mine ;)
thanks for all your comments now it's more then 2 years since i've made it and I still have it and wear it sometimes!
Awww, I was going to start it today, but I went up a bra size (or it feels like it). :[ Hehe, Sorry if that comment is too personal, but I'll get started on it soon! :']
I'm going to get started on it right away! XO It's so pretty! I'm not sure what that fabric you have is called, but I call it ruffles. :p Oh oh, I just checked and it's called trim - no specific name.

MARIETTA, Ga., April 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- EpiFix®, dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (dHACM) allografts, were shown to be clinically and cost effective in the treatment of multiple hard-to-treat wounds like diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), venous leg ulcers (VLUs), and pressure ulcers (PUs), according to data and case experiences being presented at the Spring Symposium on Advanced Wound Care, the leading national wound healing conference now in its 27th year. The symposium begins today, April 23, 2014, and concludes on April 27, 2014.
"We are pleased that two abstracts highlighting EpiFix® allografts were selected for oral presentation and one of them, authored by Charles M. Zelen, DPM, FACFAS, FACFAOM, FAPWCA; Thomas E. Serena MD, FACS and Robert J. Snyder, DPM, MSc, CWS, was selected as 3rd place for Best Oral Abstract," said Parker H. "Pete" Petit, CEO of MiMedx Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDXG).
"Clinically, EpiFix® is associated with more rapid healing and prevention of longer term complications including infection and amputation," said Dr. Stephen Bergquist, Medical Director for Jackson-Madison County Hospital. "From the cost-of-care perspective, EpiFix requires the use of fewer grafts leading to overall cost savings," he continued.
Abstracts presenting EpiFix® studies and cases are:
- A Prospective, Randomized, Comparative Study of Weekly vs. Bi-weekly Application of Dehydrated Human Amnion/Chorion Membrane Allograft in the Management of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (Abstract #CR_055, Zelen, Serena, Snyder) demonstrated in a 12-week study period of 40 patients with a mean time to complete healing of 2.4 weeks for weekly application of EpiFix® vs. 4.1 wks for biweekly application of EpiFix®. This shows using EpiFix® weekly heals DFUs almost twice as fast as biweekly applications of EpiFix®. Overall complete heal rate with EpiFix® in both arms was 92.5% (37/40) at 12 weeks.
- A Multi-center Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial Evaluating Two Application Regimens of Dehydrated Human Amniotic Membrane and Standard of Care vs. Standard of Care Alone in the Treatment of Venous Leg Ulcers (Abstract #CS_139,Serena, Fetterolf , Harris, Doner, Patel, Connell, DeMarco, LE, McConnell , Lullove, Taffe.) 90 patients were enrolled to date in this ongoing trial. At time of interim analysis 68 patients had completed the study: 44 ulcers were randomized to receive dHACM (1 or 2 applications) and 24 received SOC alone. Outcomes were similar within the dHACM group. At 4 weeks, 63.6% of wounds in the dHACM group, and 25.0% of the standard of care group demonstrated greater than 40% wound closure at 4 weeks (p=0.0023). After 4 weeks ulcers treated with dHACM had reduced by 48.9% vs 12.0% for those treated with SOC only, p=0.003.
- Treatment of Stage III and Stage IV Pressure Ulcers with Dehydrated Human Amnion/Chorion Membrane (Abstract #CS_014, Bergquist) evaluated the clinical and cost effectiveness of dHACM allografts as a treatment for Stage III and IV pressure ulcers (PUs). In Stage III cases and Stage IV cases, PUs of varying sizes were completely healed within weeks (from 1 week for Stage III PUs with wound size of 8.6cm2 and 2.53 cm2, to 8 weeks for a Stage IV PU with an initial wound size of 9.2 cm2 ). Cost effectiveness of dHACM for treatment of PUs was influenced by increased healing rates, velocity of healing and subsequent reduction in risk for complications. Wound size-appropriate grafts further reduce waste and cost per treatment.
- Human Amniotic Membrane Allograft to Treat Diabetic Foot Ulcers with Exposed Bone and Tendon (Abstract# CS_117 Pougatsch, Shum, Belczyk, Rogers) 5 consecutive diabetic neuropathic patients exhibiting wounds with exposed bone and tendon were treated with EpiFix® with the intent to gain as much coverage over the exposed deep structures in as little time as possible in preparation for split-thickness skin grafting. All 5 patients had sufficiently developed granulation tissue overlying bone and tendon structures and were ready for split-thickness skin grafting in an average of 15 days (range 9-22). 4 patients healed the split-thickness skin grafts.
"These data support our previously published studies relating to the significant role for EpiFix® in advanced wound care," said Bill Taylor, President and COO of MiMedx. MiMedx is the leading developer and manufacturer of patent protected regenerative biomaterials and bioimplants processed from human amniotic membrane.
MiMedx is exhibiting at the conference (booth 1506), and will host In-Booth Education with speakers Steve Bergquist, MD presenting on 'Complex wounds and pressure ulcer treatment with EpiFix', and Donna Becker, MSN, ACNP-BC who will discuss 'Clinical experiences with dHACM.' Drs. Robert Snyder, Chuck Zelen, Matthew Garoufalis and Thomas Serena will be presenting about Wound Regeneration at a Company-sponsored symposium.

Baron Davis' Career Likely Over After Knee Injury
When New York Knicks point guard Baron Davis collapsed to the court in the third quarter during Sunday's win over the Miami Heat nobody could have expected his injury to be this bad. Just how bad is it? Well, Davis, 33, will be lucky to ever play basketball again. Davis underwent an MRI and it was discovered he has a partial tear of his patella tendon and complete tears of his ACL and MCL. Davis will undergo surgery sometime next week when the swelling goes down but the early timetable for his return is 12 months which means he will miss all of next season.
Earlier this season Davis was waived by the Cleveland Cavaliers under the amnesty clause which allowed teams to shed the contract of one player without incurring any cap penalties. The Knicks were able to sign Davis to the veteran minimum in December shortly after the NBA lockout ended. Davis was, at the time, rehabbing from a herniated disc which postponed his Knicks debut until February. Davis became the Knicks starting point guard after Jeremy Lin went down with a torn meniscus on March 24th which required surgery.
Davis' injury was overshadowed a bit by the fact that the Knicks ended their NBA-record 13-game playoff losing streak with an 89-87 victory over the Heat in Game 4 at Madison Square Garden. However, the impact of losing Davis will surely reverberate on the court for the Knicks as they try to climb back into this series.
As of right now, Knicks head coach Mike Woodson isn't sure when Jeremy Lin will be able to return to the Knicks. He is scrimmaging in 3-on-3 drills but there is no way he would be able to step in for Davis right away in Game 5. The Knicks instead will have to count on Mike Bibby and Toney Douglas to lead the offense. Bibby is experienced but he is certainly not the player he was five or six years ago when he was among the NBA's better pure point guards.
This season, Davis averaged 4.7 assists, 6.1 points, and 1.2 steals per game in 29 games, mostly as the backup point guard. In the playoffs, Davis averaged 3.3 assists and 7.8 points per game. Davis is 33 now and won't be able to play basketball for at least another year. The likelihood that an NBA team signs a 35 year-old with a history of back and knee problems is miniscule so Davis might very well have played his last game.

Sometimes the most marvelous things happen naturally. Priest Fabián Báez from Buenos Aires was in Rome to see his old friend, Pope Francis, who he knew in Argentina. The pope recognized his old friend and said "Come! Hop in!" and gave Báez a lift in his official Popemobile. He was delighted to share his experience with reporters -

Keywords: Pope Francis, Popemobile, Priest Fabián Báez, Argentina
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Francis spotted Báez among many faces in St. Peter's Square for yesterday's General Audience. Lifting Báez into the Popemobile, Francis said laughing, "This picture's going to make it round the world!"
When asked how the incident came about, Báez replied, "I only arrived in Rome on Tuesday night and on Wednesday morning I had no way of attending the Pope's catechesis because I didn't know where I could get hold of the admission tickets. So I went to the Square and stood behind the crowd control barriers hoping to see him go by in the Popemobile.
Display your faith with this beautiful cross.
"When he went past he saw me saw me and recognized me. I shouted really loud but it's hard to make oneself heard. I was surprised at how much affection people showed the Pope. He saw me and said to me: 'What are you doing here?' I shouted out that I had come to see him. The Popemobile continued then turned around and stopped. He called out to me, got me to hop over the barriers and said to me: 'Come! Hop in!'
"I thought he was going to get me a seat or a better place further on but instead he said: 'Come! Hop into the Popemobile!' I greeted him, gave him a hug and got in. I couldn't believe what was happening," Báez said.
"He laughed and said to me: 'This picture's going to make it round the world.' I had slight difficulty jumping over the barrier so he made a joke about it.
"'Next time we'll make the barrier's smaller,' he said, or something to that effect. He was very kind; he let me into the vehicle and asked for a seat to be placed near his. Then he said: 'Do you have to go?' to which I said I would stay until the end. He replied: 'OK, I'll speak to you in a bit.'
"He did. We talked for a few minutes, he asked me about some people we both knew and we chatted about some personal things. I haven't seen or spoken to him since he became Pope so it was a pretty exciting moment."
It was yet another example of the new pope's accessibility. His warmth and outreach with disregard, some feel, for security, has made Pope Francis a most unorthodox - but widely loved Pontiff.

A 60-year-old Nelson man has been found guilty of sexually violating a teenage girl who looked upon him as a foster dad.
The man, who has name suppression, was found guilty by a jury in the Nelson District Court yesterday of six charges of sexual violation - including rape of the girl when she was 15.
The man was remanded in custody and will be sentenced on December 18.
He was found not guilty of lesser charges of sexual assault.
He pleaded guilty to a related charge of supplying the teenager with cannabis at the start of the trial. Other charges against the man were discharged during the trial when the girl clarified timings of when things happened.
The Crown said the complainant had been a friend of the family, in particular the accused's partner, for years.
She moved in with the family last year when she was 15 and looked upon the family as her second family.
The Crown said shortly after the teenager moved in the accused's partner got a new job at night.
The Crown said that the accused waited until his partner went to work and would give the complainant alcohol - ready-to-drink vodka drinks - and sometimes cannabis.
The girl could remember nothing from that night, but woke up in her bed the next morning feeling sore.
The girl turned 16 in the middle of the offending.
The defence had argued the man had not had sex with the girl when she was under age. There had been some sexual contact, but not until she was 16, and it was consensual.
