Dr. Brian Frank
Associate Professor
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Dupont Canada Chair in Engineering Education Research and Development
Brian Frank has always loved taking things apart, so it is not surprising that he found his way into engineering. "I had always done well in math and science in high school, but I also liked the hands-on stuff like electronics and auto mechanics. And when my guidance counselor told me that engineering not only required math and science but also was also really tough, that was it. I like a challenge! And I liked that it was about the application of math and science to benefit humanity."
Since Frank had been familiar with computer programs from the wise old age of nine, he found electrical engineering to be a good match. "I had a really interesting professor in my first year physics class who was engaging, down-to-earth and really cared about his students. He was personable and had great enthusiasm for the material. He related things to his own life and you could always talk to him outside of class time."
Not only were some of his professors inspiring, but so too were some of the cutting-edge courses he took at Queen's. "One of my professors was a pioneer in project-based courses. His course was our fourth-year capstone design course, which pulled together engineering knowledge development from all three years. It presented problems that were not the traditional, math-focused problems prevalent in engineering at that time. Instead we were challenged with an open-ended design problem with a client and had to manage everything about the resulting project from time to money to technical design."
I do problem-based learning; my focus is on providing a context for knowledge and skill development. Everything I teach is based on being able to solve that problem.
"Interestingly, that same prof also started each class with a Word of the Day. It was the first thing he said each day in class which encouraged us to arrive on time to hear it. He even gave out prizes for this, but never told us why he did it. Still, it had an impact."
Frank fell in love with teaching after he got his three degrees at Queen's and went to do some electrical engineering teaching at RMC. "I had taught first aid and life-guarding at seventeen, but RMC was my first chance to teach at the university level. And since I loved to work with people, I was happy to combine both engineering and teaching."
Developing the characteristics of great engineers...
Early in his teaching career, Frank was focused on content delivery, but after taking a number of higher education courses, he knew that he needed to help his students develop the other characteristics that are essential for great engineers. "Those skills go beyond content and move into professional skill development – how to work with people, how to work with teams, how to make arguments, problem solve and manage projects."
These days Frank teaches APSC-100, a course created in 1996 by one of his mentors. This course introduces design projects, introducing students to the craft of engineering early on. "In first year we still draw on content, but the objective is more to develop skills that complement the content of other courses. I teach two of the three modules – one on complex problem solving and modeling that draws on knowledge from other first year courses; the other a semester-long design project with clients in the local community. Students can't just give a single number solution in these courses. They have to do a model of some physical system. Everything I teach revolves around solving those kinds of problems."
One of the problems students had to work on was an evaluation of whether Queen's should use solar panels on the rooftops. "They had to look at the math portion of the project – the sun's position and how much revenue would be generated, but they also had to decide if it would be useful long-term and what the social and environmental impacts would be. This allows students to do big picture problem solving while using their math and science skills from other courses."
In the second part of this unique course, first year students work with local community groups. "In first year, students haven't developed specialized knowledge, so we create less technical projects for them. For example, one association needed the students to adapt exercise equipment to suit the needs of those with physical disabilities. We run about 40 projects with local non-profit groups, schools and hospitals." By fourth year, students have stronger technical skills, and in many cases, will move on to work with industrial clients.
As an added bonus, upper year students are hired as project managers to guide the 700 students who make up the first year teams. "I train the project managers and give direction as needed. This is an amazing opportunity for upper year students to manage projects on their own. The 60 or so upper years involved develop leadership and the first years see them as mentors."
Former APSC 100 TA Connor Langford says, "Dr. Frank has shown an unwavering commitment to engineering education in the Faculty of Applied Science and has worked tirelessly to incorporate sound engineering design principles into the first year curriculum. Teaching design is far from an easy task, but it is a critical component in engineering development. It helps teach students that engineers have to go beyond math and science and focus on how to apply their knowledge to develop creative solutions for real world problems. By bringing his experience as an engineer to the classroom, Dr. Frank has helped to build a program that embraces design, helping students to become more well-rounded and capable engineers in the future."
The third module is run by Associate Dean (Academic) Lynann Clapham. "The primary objective here is to get students to design an experiment themselves, rather than following a procedure developed for them. They might, for example, create an experiment to determine how the vitamin C content of orange juice changes when left sitting out on a counter. It requires investigation because the goal is to make decisions on how you are going to solve a problem." Dean Woodhouse, with her background in industry, teaches the teaming and communication skills.
And when Frank needs time alone to solve some of the stickier problems, or simply wants to clear his mind, he hops on his bike. A triathlete, he loves having time to cycle or swim, as well as time just to be with his two sons. The break is well-deserved. The response to the project-based design course has been overwhelmingly positive. "Fourth year students come forward to be project managers because they remember doing the course in first year. Many say it was the first time they got to see what engineering is all about. They enjoyed it and want to give back to the first years. This is so encouraging."

Video:How to Use a Tattoo Machinewith Jonathon Stewart
Learning how to properly use a tattoo gun requires both training and skill. Here, learn how it's done.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Use a Tattoo Machine
Tattooing is an art and requires considerable skill and practice. That's why using a tattoo gun, also known as a tattoo machine, is something that's best left up to the experts, especially since you must be a licensed professional to use one.

Information About How to Use a Tattoo Gun

Squire Strahan of Trilogy Tattoos in Brandon, Florida is here to show you how to do it.Let's start with the basics of a tattoo machine or iron. First off, it's not really a gun. That makes it sounds like punishment when what it really does is create incredible art. It's actually a hand-held device that allows the artist to embed indelible ink into the skin with a needle.While the original tattoo machines relied on rotary technology, today's devices use electromagnets.

Facts About Tattoo Guns

There are a number of features on a tattoo machine to point out. The machine has a power supply and a foot switch. This runs all the power and voltage to the machine so you can control the rate of ink that flows through the needle attached to the machine as you create the tattoo. The machine also has features that help the artist maintain control over needle depth, force of application for the ink, and the speed at which the tattoo is created. Other features are based on whether it is a long stroke or short stroke machine, which adds features related to width, length, stiffness, tension and angles that that artist can create.To get the best quality from the tattoo machine, it's all about the person using it.

More Information About How to Use a Tattoo Gun

There is a significant amount of time that must go into using these machines. A tattoo artist needs to get accustomed to how the ink flows through the machine and how to use it as a tool to draw, blend, color and shade the design into the piece of art that the customer imagined. Beyond skill and mastery of the machine, patience and focus are key traits that a machine just can't produce.
It certainly does take practice to master how to use tattoo machines, especially when creating tattoos that just have black ink versus those that incorporate a number of color pigments. The machine is actually more than just one device. There are machines that handle lines, shading, and color and saturation. The liner machine lays the ink onto the skin in a single pass to create the dominant lines of the tattoo. This is typically the first step where an artist will either freehand or use a stencil. Then there is a shader machine that creates black shades or variants to sculpt lines. The color/saturation machine adds color and is used to blend. If you are interested in learning how to use a tattoo machine, you can learn from a licensed tattoo artist under an apprenticeship. You'll generally have to pay for the apprenticeship, but this will prepare you for a new career where you can turn your artistic endeavors into a satisfying lifeline.

Port Hueneme dismantles its redevelopment agency
The Port Hueneme City Council dissolved its redevelopment agency during a special meeting Monday in response to a state Supreme Court ruling that upheld legislation that abolishes such agencies as of today.
The council — in its new role as a successor agency overseeing redevelopment issues — adopted an enforceable obligation schedule, which details $34 million, largely in tax allocation refunding bonds and promissory notes.
The council also appointed Councilman Jonathan Sharkey and Community Development Director Greg Brown to the county oversight committee that will be charged with dissolving the local agencies, sorting through various claims and disposing of any properties held by the agencies. The committee will be made up of elected officials, educators and others.
Sharkey said the redevelopment agency's half-century of work has been a major plus for Port Hueneme.
"This was an extraordinarily tremendous program and a tremendous asset for the state and communities. I don't think anyone anticipated the demise," Sharkey said. "I worked on redevelopment for the better part of two decades. We've done great things."
Councilman Norman Griffaw called on the state to provide direction as more than 400 such agencies across statewide are disbanded. "The Legislature hasn't given us a clear path on what we're supposed to do," he said.
Redevelopment agencies were established in 1945, and Councilwoman Sylvia Muñoz Schnopp pointed out that portions of the Port of Hueneme were built using those RDA funds, which were designed to end blight.
"What was done was shortsighted. One of the first things done with the money was the build-out of the Port of Hueneme. ... This will impact all of Ventura County," she said. "I commend those who have gone before us and applaud those who came up with the concepts and created the projects this agency oversaw."
Mayor Doug Breeze said that in the wake of redevelopment agency's demise, the city will have to step up its efforts to identify construction projects. "Absent the redevelopment agency, this will leave a vacuum in the community," he said. "We will have to put forth the effort to fill the hole."
Sharkey called the dissolution of the agencies a "holiday for lawyers." He said when he was being interviewed for a position on the California Coastal Commission recently, he got quite emotional when asked about his defense of the agencies.
"One of the things they asked me about was governor's redevelopment proposal," Sharkey said. "It was not a question I expected and I got into one of my dissertations the various cycles property tax financing vs. sales tax financing. I told them what redevelopment had meant in our city, what we've been working on here vis-a-vis the Market Street area. This is something I've been working on since I was elected in 1994. It's one of the reasons I ran for office."

By: The Associated Press
DENVER (AP) - Illegal immigrants in Colorado are closer to getting in-state tuition rates, as long as they seek citizenship.
A Democratic Senate committee voted 6-3 Thursday to approve a bill allowing Colorado residents who are illegal immigrants to receive in-state tuition.
The tuition bill is thought likely to become law because Democrats took control of both chambers of the Legislature. Latinos last year made up an estimated 14 percent of Colorado's vote, the highest-ever turnout for the group.
One Republican on the Education Committee also voted for the tuition proposal. Freshman Sen. Owen Hill of Colorado Springs said it is a "moral duty" to change tuition policies.
Legislative analysts say the measure could affect some 500 students next school year.

Rabbi Helfgot's Statement of Principles urges sensitivity toward gays in Orthodoxy
Excerpts from the Statement of Principles
Embarrassing, harassing, or demeaning someone with a homosexual orientation or same-sex attraction is a violation of Torah prohibitions that embody the deepest values of Judaism.
The question of whether sexual orientation is primarily genetic, or rather environmentally generated, is irrelevant to our obligation to treat human beings with same-sex attractions and orientations with dignity and respect.
We affirm the religious right of those with a homosexual orientation to reject therapeutic approaches they reasonably see as useless or dangerous.
Jews with a homosexual orientation who live in the Orthodox community confront serious emotional, communal, and psychological challenges that cause them and their families great pain and suffering…. Rabbis and mental health professionals must provide responsible and ethical assistance to congregants and clients dealing with those human challenges.
The decision as to whether to be open about one's sexual orientation should be left to such individuals, who should consider their own needs and those of the community. We are opposed on ethical and moral grounds to both the "outing" of individuals who want to remain private and to coercing those who desire to be open about their orientation to keep it hidden.
Jews with homosexual orientations or same sex-attractions should be welcomed as full members of the synagogue and school community. As appropriate with regard to gender and lineage, they should participate and count ritually, be eligible for ritual synagogue honors, and generally be treated in the same fashion and under the same halakhic and hashkafic framework as any other member of the synagogue they join. Conversely, they must accept and fulfill all the responsibilities of such membership, including those generated by communal norms or broad Jewish principles that go beyond formal halakhah.
Halakhic Judaism cannot give its blessing and imprimatur to Jewish religious same-sex commitment ceremonies and weddings, and halakhic values proscribe individuals and communities from encouraging practices that grant religious legitimacy to gay marriage and couplehood. But communities should display sensitivity, acceptance and full embrace of the adopted or biological children of homosexually active Jews in the synagogue and school setting, and we encourage parents and family of homosexually partnered Jews to make every effort to maintain harmonious family relations and connections.
Jews who have an exclusively homosexual orientation should, under most circumstances, not be encouraged to marry someone of the other gender, as this can lead to great tragedy, unrequited love, shame, dishonesty, and ruined lives.
More on: Rabbi Helfgot's Statement of Principles urges sensitivity toward gays in Orthodoxy
Orthodox rabbi aims for movement consensus
During his more than 20 years as an Orthodox Jewish educator, Rabbi Nathaniel Helfgot has heard many stories from friends and colleagues about the treatment of homosexuals in his movement.
"I haven't done a systematic study, but I know anecdotally that there are some extremely sensitive rabbis," he told The Jewish Standard.
But sometimes, he added, homosexual congregants or students "can't be honest with their rabbis because of the nature of their orientation. They would have no place in their synagogue or school, or they hear hurtful things from the pulpit and see no future in the movement."
Stay tuned for the return of comments

Best Sports Broadcast Personality St. Louis 2007 - Mike Shannon
Readers' Choice: Joe Buck
A list of the quotes, malapropisms and non sequiturs that have made Mike Shannon both the most maddening and the most endearing radio play-by-play guy in baseball would be too long for even this supersize edition of the RFT to publish. (We swear we heard him opining about the 1970s TV miniseries Roots at some point last year.) Shannon has been such an integral part of St. Louis baseball lore St. Louis lore, period for so long that it's easy to take him for granted. But last season, when Shannon began excusing himself from Cardinals' road trips to care for his ailing wife, the team's radio broadcasts sounded so, well, ordinary, even under the more-than-adequate stewardship of John Rooney. So to Mike Shannon: Our condolences on the passing of Judy Shannon, and our fervent hope that when the Cards win their eleventh World Series title, you're the one who calls the final out. Get up, baby!

Before I start, I would like to do a little introduction of Hubby's friend, Wong, who is also one of our Makan Gang and my cooking si-fu. I first met him during our trip to Perth together and sampled some of his culinary skill. Amazed with the way he worked in the kitchen, whipping out dishes after dishes within minutes and all so yummy. Oh yah, I learnt my successful Radish Cake through him too. So meeting up with him is always fun cos it means food, food and more food! And this is what we did when we met up last Sunday for brunch.
Woke up early on a Sunday morning, not so difficult when one is anticipating good food. Picked him up at 10.00 a.m. and off we went to Batu Caves. We heard so much from him about this place called Pan Heong Restaurant in Batu Caves which is famous for its porridge and fried noodles. Wong said we should go early cos it's super packed and believe me, this cornershop restaurant was PACKED and one got to take a number and wait. Lucky for us, we were ushered straight to our table since they have a vacant table for 4.
Although packed, the serving time didn't take as long as I thought it would be. First dish served was their Sang Har Wat Tan Hor (Fresh Water Prawns with Cantonese-style Flat Rice Noodle). At only RM26.00 for 2 big juicy prawns, it's actually half the price charged by Greenview Restaurant at Sec19. The noodle was so full of wok-hei, simply delicious even without the egg gravy. Prawns were bouncy and fresh...mmm..I got the part with most roes. Ooooo....oishi oishi!!!!
Next came the non-halal version of Mee Goreng (RM7.50). Using yellow noodle like mee mamak, this dish is rather unique and it seems like a must-have since I see it in every table. But I would prefer it to be more spicy though. Next time must ask for tambah pedas (add chilli)!
The Nam Yue Pork Belly (RM10.50) is our favourite dish and such a perfect snack to go with beer. The outer layer was so crispy and full of nam yue (fermented beancurd) flavour while the inside was still so juicy and the layer of fats practically melts in your mouth. Each bite were so sinful especially when the juice splattered all over in your mouth as you chew. Ooohh...I must try to make this dish at home one day.
Interested? Do drop by Pan Heong Restaurant at:
No. 2 Jalan Medan Batu Caves 2
Medan Batu Caves
Tel: 03-6187.7430
Business Hours: 8 a.m. - 3.30 p.m.
We stopped at a fruit and veggie stall to grab the famous brown-skinned bananas. Ermm..not a fan of bananas so I didn't get any but Wong gave us a few pieces to try. Still raw so I can't review how it taste like yet.
Wong brought us to this restaurant called Remember One Two Six which is quite easily to locate. If you are coming from KL, just turn into Bukit Tinggi exit, at the junction, turn right and follow the U-shaped road to the opposite side of the highway. Go straight and you won't miss this big restaurant located on your left. Seems to be a favourite stopover for golfers as well as those on long distance journey.
First dish we ordered was the Steamed Wild Bullfrogs (RM35) which turned out superb. There is a vast difference between the wild and the reared in terms of texture and sweetness of the meat. Normally those found in KL are normally reared and the texture is much softer. However, the wild bullfrogs are much bounchier (propobly due to their freedom) and sweeter too (due to their natural diet). The frogs were steamed with herbal stock which tasted really good. Hmm..next time I should boil Froggy Herbal Soup instead of Chicken Herbal Soup. Tastes so much better.
I don't quite fancy fish but this Steamed River Patin (RM39 for 1/2 fish) was really really good. Cooked to perfection, this fish was sweet, smooth, soft and bouncy all mixed together. I had an enjoyable time savouring this fish, especially the head. Ohh..not oily at all. Also a vast difference between the river Patin and reared Patin as the latter tends to be very oily, hence much cheaper in terms of price too.
Last dish, and luckily the last cos Hubby and I were really full, Stewed Pork Belly with Bamboo Shoots. Initially I was a bit skeptical when Wong ordered this dish. I used to have this perception that bamboo stinks as much as petai...but I was proven wrong after I tried this dish. The bamboo shoot has a very unique texture to it, really hard to explain, but I simply love the bamboo more than the pork. Quite a big portion for only RM8.
There are plenty of restaurants in Bukit Tinggi but according to Wong, most are craps and at cut-throat prices. So, 126 Restaurant is highly recommended especially if you are fan of exotic food such as turtle. Psstt..i spotted Turtle Yee Mee in their menu. Hehe..who dare to try??
Remember One Two Six Restaurant is located at:
PT3347, Kg Bukit Tinggi
28750 Bentong, Pahang

I am elated to say that this resturant is wonderful in quality of food, taste, and portion size. Friendly servers with great hospitality. A place I would very highly recommend without hesitation. It's not always easy to get real good food from Resturants, but when you do It will stick in your mind! I am a food critic, this food is the Bomb! Believe That!
Posted by anonymous on 05/13/2011
My daughter had her Christening here. The food is delicious and it has a nice 'island feel' to it. Reggae music was playing upon request. Nice pictures of Marcus Garvey, Bob Marely and a palm tree in a corner. Seating arrangements comfortable and space is fair. Informed the seating capacity is 20-25 inside. Basic flatware with paper napkins and no tablecloths. Traditional Jamiacan colours reflected in overhead hanging fans and really pleasant staff. The restaurant has a deck, however, it is located right next to a Septa trolley depot. So if you don't mind a little screeching of wheels on tracks, you're good to go. Restaurant located in a predominately residential area which makes parking adequate. There is a park across the street which is a good view to keep eye on little ones and mature chaperones.

This food is yummy, as evidenced by the crowds on Sundays! I ordered the cabbage and oxtails-- my, my I don't htink I've ever had better, and I've had a lot. Service is OK, and prices could be a tad cheaper, but I really enjoy this food!
Posted by kayla on 07/21/2008
This resturant is the best jamican spot they have friendly employees. The food is very good overall never been anywhere else and taste such good food big up big up.

2007 J. Lohr Arroyo Vista Chardonnay
The vintage of 2007 saw very cool temperatures during flowering resulting in a phenomenon called "hens and chicks" in our Arroyo Vista Chardonnay. This is a cluster with normal size berries – "hens" - mixed with tiny (seedless or unfertilized) berries – "chicks". Although the clusters weigh less, the flavors are intensified in the tiny berries. And with very little rain in 2007 and very mild weather throughout the vintage this combination of environmental factors produced some truly excellent Chardonnay, rich in texture and full of fruit flavors. Harvest commenced on the 5th of October with near perfect flavor development at 24.2º Brix, and 8.7 grams per liter of acidity.
The Arroyo Vista Chardonnay is grown in the heart of the windswept and cool Arroyo Seco AVA of Monterey County. Loamy sand and gravelly loam soils of the Elder series are intermixed and underlain by "Greenfield potatoes" – stones that resemble potatoes in size and appearance and which absorb heat during the day and radiate their heat after sunset. This underlayment of stone effectively limits root growth to the top three to five feet of soil, harmoniously balancing the fruit and shoot growth of our richly flavored Chardonnay.

Winemaker's Comments
The 2007 J. Lohr Arroyo Vista Chardonnay is a very bright, vibrant yellow color, with aromas of pear, apple, and lime custard. The Burgundian winemaking techniques, including alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in barrel with lees stirring and extended aging, contribute a complex bouquet of grilled hazelnuts, butter, honey and gun flint and amplify an already intensely viscous wine. This is an enticingly delicious Chardonnay with complex aromas and flavors balanced by palate cleansing acidity, perfect for pairing with roasted chicken or cream-sauced pasta dishes.
Wine Fact Sheet:


text:
The Federal discount rate is the amount of interest a central bank charges private banks for short-term loans.
Banks will often borrow from each other for short-term needs, with central banks like the U.S. Federal Reserve typically acting as a "lender of last resort." As a result, it likes to keep its discount rate somewhere above what private banks are charging each other.
During a recessionary period, however, the Fed may lower the discount rate to boost the money supply, thereby making it cheaper for commercial banks to borrow money, which helps stabilize the broader economy. It may also change other policies to encourage direct borrowing, such as extending the term on loans.

EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS: The Pantry has second poor quarter
Things are looking up for authors, but not so much for Roo Cups, which are returning to shelves this month.
The Pantry, which operates Kangaroo convenience stores and was founded in Sanford (even though it's now based in Cary), recently announced a $10.3-million net loss last quarter. In-store merchandise sales actually rose, suggesting people still were out buying food, drinks and other products despite the awful weather of the past several months. But the company still registered a second straight quarter of losses, due in part to struggling fuel sales.
Perhaps people aren't buying as much gas because they're inside reading. Publishing giant Harper Collins announced an 83-percent rise in profits last quarter, along with a 14-percent rise in revenue, which it attributed to increased sales of ebooks as well as the successful young-adult series "Divergent."
As ebooks become more popular — 30 percent of Amazon's $5.25 billion in annual book sales now comes from ebooks, for example — at least one local author has also embraced the switch.
Theresa Cocolin, who lives in the Barbecue Church area of western Harnett County, published a new collection of short stories last month for e-readers called "If My Life Were a Book." She said it's also on audio book and has been picked up by the N.C. Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. It's Cocolin's second major release since her 2008 novel, "The Last Rose of Summer."
A Chatham County author has also done well for herself lately, winning two prizes from the North Carolina Writers Network. Pittsboro's Laura Herbst won the 2014 Doris Betts Fiction Prize for her short story "The Cliffs of Mobenga," which will be published in the 2015 North Carolina Literary Review. Herbst, a former journalism professor at UNC-Chapel Hill, also won the Rose Post Creative Nonfiction Competition for an essay on breast cancer.

You are here:
At an early stage in the export process it helps to go and see for yourself which market offers the best opportunities and where to focus your efforts. Having a plan in place really helps to get the most from your trip.
There are no fixed and fast rules about how soon to visit a market, but one thing is clear: you should always visit before entering into any agreements with prospective agents, distributors or other business partners that could influence your future dealings in that market.
The choice of market will depend on the work you have already done in researching opportunities with your Export Advisor - and possibly as a result of direct enquiries you have already received. Rather than just visiting one prospective customer or agent, however, consider calling on several to give you a basis for comparison.
Always leave the most prospective until last – when you are better prepared to handle enquiries and evaluate the fit with what you want to do. Don't take on more than one or two markets to start with. Concentrate your effort to have a much better chance of success
Your Export Adviser will assist you plan your visit and make contact with the Austrade office, state or territory government offices and Chambers of Commerce that can assist you.
One of the best investments you can make in a successful trip is ensuring your program is planned and arranged with in-country assistance. This will help you see the right agents and customers who will be briefed and screened for interest and suitability.
In planning your visit take note of holidays and religious festivals that occur at the time of your planned visit.
A checklist of things to prepare before you go appears below. Anticipate that you will be asked about price, volumes and/or capacity and delivery times. Talk with shipping agents in Australia about delivery times and costs, as well as constructing an export price. Rehearse a series of possible scenarios (given prospective workloads) with your production team before you leave. This will help you negotiate price and delivery with more certainty.
First impressions are critical. If you have never visited that country before and don't know much about it, go on the Internet and read from a range of sources. Find out something about the country and its way of life (a list of suggested websites is provided below). Reflect on how you would view someone visiting Australia to do business with you, who has no idea of life in Australia. It is best not to consider this reading as helping you to articulate a point of view about the country or enter into a debate – but rather it is to enable you to ask more informed questions – and form a better commercial judgement of the people you meet.
Time and again highly prospective business meetings come to nothing without appropriate follow up. Make sure, within 48 hours of each appointment, you send an email thanking your contact for meeting with you, providing follow up information and noting if necessary that you will get back to them within a specific time period on further particular requests. This will leave a good impression and demonstrate that you are someone with whom business can be reliably done.
We suggest you keep this list – and make it a 'to do' list to ensure you achieve all you can.
When prospective agents/distributors see your company can offer a market advantage, they may try to rush you into signing an agreement and lock you into an arrangement. Be very careful. Agreements are hard to modify and costly to break.
If possible, delay any agreement until you have returned to Australia and have considered the proposal. Consult your Export Adviser. Match the proposed draft agreement with one that you consider best reflects your interests.
For more information, please call 13 28 78 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Never finalise an agreement before visiting the market.
Try to visit 2-3 prospective customers, to give you a basis for comparison.
Make sure you allow enough time to lock in a well-balanced appointment program with the right people.
Review the checklist – and ensure you have your pricing and delivery times right to be able to meet commitments.
Prepare yourself so you know something of the country and how business is done - to present as being well informed.
Be ready to send a follow up email within 48 hours, acknowledging the main points of the meeting and seeking the prospective customer/business associate's response.

DPAC expansion enhances downtown
Downtown Durham has many signs that it has truly reached the tipping point – that its rebirth that started in the early 1990s but didn't really begin to hit its stride in this century is now surging along with little danger of reverse.
One sign of that is that critical parts of the redevelopment are themselves spawning more redevelopment.
The latest sign of that came this week with the revelation of plans for a significant expansion of the Durham Performing Arts Center.
It is hard to underestimate the impact the DPAC has had downtown. A clear affirmation of public support for downtown's potential, it transformed our still-sparse skyline and has served to bring thousands of visitors into the city.
Many of those visitors don't just take in a show or performance at the DPAC – they spend money in our growing number of downtown bars and restaurants. Perhaps most important, folks who may never have been to downtown Durham, or had not been here for some time, have a chance to experience the "wow" factor of DPAC, American Tobacco and the countless other signs of new life downtown.
Now, the DPAC is going to be an even greater draw.
The City Council is likely to approve a deal with Capitol Broadcasting that would add a 134-room hotel, retail space, a new President's Club lounge and – this will be great news to many DPAC veterans – more toilets for women.
Mayor Bill Bell welcomed the news.
"I think it's a great addition and is really going to enhance, not only the DPAC, but the whole issue of hotel rooms in the downtown area," Bell said.
The hotel – to be run by the Aloft chain – will join other new hotels in and around downtown in the former SunTrust tower, the former Mutual Community Savings Bank and the former McPherson Hospital. Those projects together will add 456 rooms to an area that has long been short of overnight lodging space – a deficit that has hampered marketing the Durham Convention Center.
All those new hotel rooms will ensure that even more folks are downtown at night.
The DPAC expansion is yet another example of Capitol's commitment to downtown. It already has been a transformational player with the American Tobacco complex and with the Durham Bulls.
The project is expected to move forward quickly, with completion projected late next year or early in 2015.
We'll be anxious for that date to arrive, another milestone on downtown's ascent.

|Patient UK
Endophthalmitis is an inflammation of the internal coats of the eye. It is a possible complication of all intraocular surgeries, particularly cataract surgery, with possible loss of vision and the eye itself. Infectious etiology is the most common and various bacteria and fungi have been isolated as the cause of the endophthalmitis. Other causes include penetrating trauma and retained intraocular foreign bodies.
Signs and symptoms[edit]
In cases of endophthalmitis, one usually finds a history of recent intraocular surgery or penetrating ocular trauma. In some cases of metastatic endophthalmitis—particularly in immunocompromised patients or those with diabetes—the spread of infection may have been hematogenous (via the blood-stream).
Endophthalmitis is usually accompanied by severe pain, loss of vision, and redness of the conjunctiva and the underlying episclera. Also present are signs of inflammation of the various coats of the eye. Hypopyon can be present in endophthalmitis and should be looked for on examination by a slit lamp.
An eye exam may be indicated in severe forms of candidiasis. 1-3% of cases of candidal blood infections include endophthalmitis.
Causative organisms[edit]
- Bacteria: N. meningitidis, Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, S. pneumoniae, other streptococcal spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, other gram negative organisms.[1]
- Viruses: Herpes simplex virus.[1]
- Fungi: Candida spp.[1]
- Parasites: Toxoplasma gondii, Toxocara.[1]
Late onset endophthalmitis is mostly caused by Proprionobacterium acne.[citation needed]
- Panophthalmitis — Progression to involve all the coats of the eye.[2]
- Corneal ulcer[2]
- Orbital cellulitis[2]
- no light perception vision[2]
The patient needs urgent examination by an ophthalmologist and/or vitreo-retina specialist who will usually decide for urgent intervention to provide intravitreal injection of potent antibiotics and also prepare for an urgent pars plana vitrectomy as needed. Enucleation may be required to remove a blind and painful eye.
A Cochrane Review sought to evaluate the effects of perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis for endophthalmitis following cataract surgery.[3] Separate studies from the research showed that a periocular injection of penicillin with chloramphenicol-suphadimidine eye drops,[4] and an intracameral cefuroxime injection with topical levofloxacin[5] resulted in a risk reduction of developing endophthalmitis following cataract surgery for subjects.

On The Corner, Andrew Stuttaford flays a Chronicle of Higher Education essay by Alan Wolfe for displaying all the "arid, stifling conformist atmosphere of the ivory tower." Both Stuttaford's flaying and Wolfe's essay on Ayn Rand are worth a read. Though I like the sound of Wolfe's course on "Liberalism and Conservatism"–less so if he places Edmund Burke, a Whig, firmly on the side of the conservatives–Stuttaford's contempt for the way Wolfe dismisses Rand as a "nonperson" is well-expressed.
But Wolfe's piece isn't just about the atmosphere. It illustrates William F. Buckley's argument that academic freedom, conventionally understood, is a superstition. Buckley contended that, because judgments about professional competence must be made–professors of English teach poetry, not pushpin–there is always an academic orthodoxy. What Buckley wanted was for that orthodoxy to be his, not someone else's. By Wolfe's huffy way of thinking–"American academic life still has standards"–Rand belongs outside the realms of worthwhile orthodoxy.
I'm enough of a believer in academic freedom to think that if Wolfe doesn't want Rand on his syllabus, that's his call. But how he arrives at the judgment that Rand is beyond the pale is difficult to discern. As he notes, Jennifer Burns recently wrote an excellent book on Rand: should Burns be fired from Stanford for wasting her time? It's a natural tendency to believe that authors with whom we agree are deep, while dismissing the ones we dislike as shallow. By disparaging them, we implicitly praise ourselves. But that's a selfish way–a Randian way–to run a classroom, and it doesn't do much to advance the historical understanding of the students.
It's for this reason that borrowing Jonathan Chait's description of Rand as a myopic "inverted Marxist" doesn't get Wolfe very far. When I taught international relations I assigned Marx, not because I marveled at the sophistication of his thought (predictably, I did no such thing) but because it is important. If E.J. Dionne makes Wolfe's reading list, is it possible to say with a straight face that Rand is too low-brow to merit inclusion? A course on liberalism and conservatism would not have to include Rand. But it would be better if it did. And so what if economics departments don't think much of her? They don't often teach the works of Adam Smith either, in spite of Wolfe's praise for the great Scottish moral economist.
Predictably, Wolfe's essay really isn't about Ayn Rand. It's about conservatives and Republicans in general and Rep. Paul Ryan in particular, and takes the predictable approach, to quote the approach that Wolfe himself dismisses, of attributing all "virtues to one group and vices to another." Thus, it is "the Republican Party's spending on defense" that Rand would reject, and "creationism" that is the nearest conservative analogy to Rand. How stale. Contra Stuttaford, the most stifling part of the ivory tower atmosphere is not the way it turns some authors into nonpersons. It's the tedious artistry inherent in the way smart people write on interesting subjects only to serve the agenda of snipping at conservatives.

So I guess Ann Margaret's not coming?
Great hire?
The problem is recruiting is going to go to total $#@!.
They were probably able to use Pay Pal for his buyout.
Not much joy on the Weber State boards:
On a side note. He wouldn't face the local media or his team. He never contacted or met with them. He didn't tell his assistant coaches. He made a late phone call to the AD and then packed his stuff before anyone know what was going on. He ran out the back door so that he wouldn't have to face anyone. Definitely craven behavior. If he is culpable for anything it is his inability to face up to his decision here in Ogden and explain himself. Yes he made the decision, but didn't feel it was necessary to talk to his team captains or tell them why he was leaving. Such behavior is classless, pathetic, and a grave sign of cowardice. His face is an abject offense to anything honorable, and whatever he did accomplish has been tarnished by his baseless actions.
I expect Arkie to offer the job to Manny around November.

Serious Beer: New England IPA
The IPAs brewed in New England don't fit into a single mold. Some hew to the British origins of the style and showcase malts as much as hops. Others subscribe to the modern American view of hops—if some are good, more must be better. Many examples walked the line between these two categories, balancing gentle hops with malt. Perhaps that's New England's stamp on the IPA style—a respect for heritage with a willingness to occasionally toss tradition into the harbor and start a revolution. More

JWOWW Talks How Motherhood Changed Snooki: "I Could Not Be More Proud"
Even though Snooki's baby, Lorenzo, was born five months ago, we haven't seen him as a newborn yet. However, that will all change in tonight's episode of Snooki & JWOWW, which gives us an up-close-and-personal look at the little guy's birth and shows us her first experiences as a mom.
But just how difficult was that transition for the former party girl? Her bestie JWOWW spilled to ETonline that while it isn't easy for Snooks, she's a great mom.
"I could not be more proud and I don't think she could be a better mom," she spilled. "There's a lot of negativity, criticism, and backlash, but she doesn't have a chef and she's able to be a full-time mom and a full-time celebrity — and that s—t ain't easy."
Preach, girl! Naturally, Snooks agrees, saying that "being a parent is so freakin' stressful," and we definitely understand. We concur with Jenni, though — our girl is doing a great job!
But just how much of Lorenzo's birth will we see in tonight's ep? Not as much as you'd think.
"You actually see a few things about the birth, but nothing ugh!" Snooki said. "It's very beautiful."
Well, we'll just sit back and watch as Snooki and Jionni welcome Lorenzo into the world. We can't wait!

Keep the cold out but the comfort in with the all-new Lontra. The multi-layer laminate upper with fully taped seams provides insulation and water resistance. A soft, micro-pile fleece liner is soft against the skin and also wicks moisture and perspiration away from the foot. The neoprene heel cuff keeps out snow and debris. Get a secure fit courtesy of a reinforced hook-and-loop closure. Reflective surfaces make it safe to run at night, while the 4mm EVA midsole provides insulation from frozen surfaces. Count on the TC-1 Dura outsole to provide traction, durability and superior plating protection for all of your cold weather running endeavors. Machine washable. Air dry.
Fitting Tips for FiveFingers Minimalist Barefoot Shoes:
With the single strap fully open, insert your foot while gradually aligning each toe with the appropriate toe pocket — it's often best to start with your big toe and work down to the little toe, gradually inching forward as each toe finds its place. Check to make sure one toe is in each pocket.
AFTER each toe is in place, pull up the heel cup and nestle your own heel into the FiveFingers heel cup. It's important to get your heel firmly seated in the heel cup.
Pull the single strap closure across your instep and secure. Make sure the strap lies flat as it wraps around the foot. Wiggle your toes and adjust the strap to find your ideal comfort.
Vibram FiveFingers® minimalist sneakers and footwear combine innovative design, precision engineering and meticulous manufacturing. We've used only premium quality materials and the proven technology of Vibram® soles to create alternative footwear designed to enhance your performance.

I definitely think like a kid when it comes to technology- it has to be fun or I don't really want anything to do with it. Maybe that's why I LOOOVE Augmented Reality (AR) and the Aurasma app. Similar to the way a mobile device scans a QR code and links to a website, AR lets you see something not there in reality except when viewed through the mobile device. The best way to show you how it works is through the video of my students using it in class:
(Trouble viewing this video? Click here.)
What you saw in the video above was a still image (called the trigger) and video overlay creating an "aura".
Excited to try this out right now?
1. Download Aurasma (Free)
2. Using your mobile device connect to my school channel here: http://auras.ma/s/CimAb (case sensitive)
Or scan code:
3. Hold mobile device over any of the images below!!!! (You might want to click images to enlarge)
So cool right? Want to create these for your classroom?
Ok- here are the first things you need to know. There are two kinds of Aurasma "Auras". One is location specific and the other can be viewed anywhere on earth by subscribing to the appropriate channel. If you are into this, I would highly recommend creating a channel. Best way to do this is by using Aurasma Studio online (sign up here for free). For your first AR "aura" you need one digital still image (trigger) and one overlay such as a video. You don't need to make your own video – just use keepvid.com to download one from YouTube connect it to an image. Or even better, have the kids create an artist statement video and attach it to photo of their artwork (this is on my to-do-list for this school year). Once you have your "auras" ready then connect all of the mobile devices you want to use to your channel (a little work up front, but you only have to do it once). To help you get started in Aurasma Studio, I created this video walkthrough:
At this point you can continue to create "auras" in the Aurasma Studio as you go throughout the school year. However, before you go to all this work, test one out to make sure your school wifi filters haven't blocked Aurasma from working (something your tech can hopefully fix).
I can't wait to find more ways to use Aurasma this next school year. How will you use Aurasma in your room?

Iraq has doubled its inventory of Hercules tactical transports, with the nation's air force having taken delivery of three new-generation C-130Js from Lockheed Martin at the end of last year.
Part of a deal for six C-130Js signed in installments in 2008 and 2009, the trio left Lockheed's Marietta production site in Georgia, USA, in mid-December. They will be followed by Baghdad's three remaining examples during 2013, the manufacturer says.
Lockheed Martin
Lockheed performed the first flight of the type for Iraq in mid-August 2012, and the US Air Force says an initial 24 of its ally's personnel have completed training in the USA. These comprise seven pilots, 16 maintainers and one loadmaster, it says.
The Iraqi air force's air transport fleet already included three older C-130Es, which were acquired from surplus US Air Force stocks following the removal from power of former president Saddam Hussein.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

clinical guidelines : standards of care and clinical practice recommendations : oral care
Oral Care
Recommendations for Oral Care
People with diabetes frequently have problems with their teeth and gums, especially when they have poor glycemic control. The higher the blood glucose, the greater the risk for developing periodontal disease. AI/AN people with diabetes have two to three times more advanced periodontal disease than people who do not have diabetes.
Periodontal disease results in the loss of all teeth in approximately one-third of AI/AN people with diabetes. People without teeth can suffer emotionally and nutritionally because they may not be able to eat many important types of foods. Every attempt should be made to replace missing teeth with dental prosthetics when there is significant loss of chewing function.
Periodontitis can negatively affect diabetes control and development of diabetes complications. The infection and inflammation associated with periodontitis can aggravate blood glucose control and increase risk for many of the complications of diabetes such as CVD and CKD.
In addition to periodontal disease, other oral health issues observed in people with diabetes include: dental caries, burning mouth syndrome and potential difficulty in wearing dental prosthetics, salivary gland dysfunction/dry mouth, fungal infections, lichen planus and lichenoid reactions, delayed healing, and taste disorders.
