Frequently Asked Questions
Healbe FLOW Technology FAQs
Q: How was Healbe FLOW™ Technology developed?
A: In 1999, a St. Petersburg-based company called Algorithm set out to develop a model of how glucose is used within the body, with the hopes of developing a device that could monitor glucose levels non-invasively. Algorithm applied the methodology of TRIZ, which is a Theory of Inventive Problem Solving that brings together multiple disciplines to focus on a common problem.
The initial working group included an endocrinologist, a physician, a mathematician, and a TRIZ analyst. At later stages of the project, the team expanded to include clinical diagnosticians, engineers, and programmers. Development of the basic technology was completed by 2003, including more than 500 internal tests.
In 2012, Healbe™ acquired Algorithm's technology and set out to adapt it to automatically monitor calorie intake and burn. We developed a stream of mathematical models that allowed us to apply the basic technology to a range of physiological processes. The final result is Healbe FLOW™ Technology.
Currently, Healbe™ has five separate research groups, each working on perfecting a specific solution within the overall technology: Automatic calorie intake and hydration; calorie burn; continuous heart rate monitoring; sleep; and stress.
Healbe GoBe™ is the first product to leverage FLOW Technology.
Q: How does Healbe FLOW™ Technology automatically measure calorie intake?
A: FLOW Technology uses an algorithm to analyze data from the Healbe GoBe™ 100% Automatic Body Manager's three sensors. To calculate calorie intake, FLOW uses readings from an impedance sensor, taken four times per minute, to measure the body's "glucose curve" throughout the day.
After you eat, insulin triggers your cells to absorb glucose and release water. The Body Manager's impedance sensor measures these changes by sending high and low frequency signals through your tissue to determine the fluid volume of your cells. FLOW uses this information about your cells' changing glucose concentrations to calculate calorie intake.
Q: What is the glucose curve?
A: After you eat, carbohydrates from your meal are converted into glucose in the blood. Insulin triggers your cells to absorb glucose, which is used for energy. In the process, glucose displaces liquids in your cells, and the Body Manager's impedance sensor measures these changes in cellular structure by sending high- and low-frequency signals through your tissue to determine the volume of the liquids.
FLOW evaluates how quickly glucose is absorbed into your cells, and how long cellular glucose levels stay elevated, to calculate the glucose curve. Fat in your meal changes the speed of absorption of glucose, and hence the shape of the glucose curve.
Q: Does Healbe GoBe™ measure blood glucose levels?
A: No, GoBe doesn't directly measure the amount of glucose in the blood. It uses an impedance sensor to measure the flow of liquids in and out of the cells, and uses that data to calculate how glucose is being absorbed into cells in the body's tissues.
Q: Can a person with diabetes use GoBe to automatically measure their calorie intake?
A: GoBe is not designed to measure glucose in the treatment of diabetes, and it is not a substitute for regular glucose monitoring. However, a diabetic who uses insulin properly to control his or her blood glucose levels would be able to use GoBe to automatically measure calorie intake.
Q: Does FLOW Technology measure the amount of fats and carbs consumed?
A: Yes. FLOW Technology measures how many fats and carbs you consume, and the Body Manager's App provides insights into the macronutrient breakdown of your food. When you eat, carbohydrates and fats from your meal are converted to energy, using two separate physiological mechanisms.
The relative proportions of fat and carbohydrates in your meal effect the shape of the glucose curve. Generally speaking, carbohydrate-heavy meals cause rapid uptake of glucose by your cells. Meals containing more fat lead to a slower absorption of glucose. FLOW uses a sophisticated mathematical model to analyze the dynamics of your glucose curve and determine the percentage of calories you consume from carbohydrates vs. fats.
Q: How accurate is GoBe's automatic calorie intake measurement, and how has it been tested?
A: Healbe™ has conducted multiple tests to determine how accurate GoBe is at measuring calorie intake. During the tests, subjects wore GoBe while eating precisely measured meals, and we compared GoBe's readings with the known calorie content of the food consumed. Currently, the margin of error for calorie intake measurement is 15-20% compared to calorie counts on food labels. This level of accuracy compares very favorably to the estimation and guesswork of manual calorie tracking—and it's groundbreaking in terms of measuring calorie intake with no user input.
Q: How accurate is GoBe's calorie intake measurement compared to wearable devices and apps that require users to manually log what they eat and drink?
A: Trying to track your calorie intake manually can be very inaccurate for several reasons. First, there's user error. Unless you precisely weigh or measure every bite you eat (including ingredients in prepared meals), you have to rely on estimation. It's very difficult to correctly estimate the amount of cheese on a particular piece of pizza, or the number of chocolate chips in a cookie.
Second, even if you only eat food that comes in a package that provides a calorie count, the actual calories you end up ingesting will differ based on how the food is prepared. For example, the calories in a serving of pasta could vary from 135-320 calories, depending on how well it's cooked—so if you're manually tracking your calories, your accuracy can vary greatly.
Finally, because of individual differences in metabolism, two people eating exactly the same type and amount of food might actually process different amounts of calories from their meals. There's no way to account for these differences in metabolism using manual calorie tracking.
Q: How will Healbe™ continue to test and improve the accuracy of FLOW Technology's automatic calorie intake measurement?
A: FLOW Technology's automatic calorie intake measurement depends on a sophisticated model of the glucose curve—that is, how glucose and water are absorbed and released by your cells in response to calories consumed. Our future efforts will be aimed at increasing the accuracy of our glucose curve model. We are also finalizing a more accurate method of estimating the amount of calories coming from protein in food.
We will continue to conduct internal tests of the product over the next 2 months for the first version of Healbe GoBe™, with external testing planned for May-June.
Q: How accurate is GoBe's measurement of calories burned, and how has it been tested?
A: GoBe measures calories burned during any activity by combining accelerometer data with continuous heart rate monitoring. We've tested the calorie burn measurement by asking subjects to wear GoBe while performing typical exercises such as running or walking. We then compare GoBe's data with standard calculations based on the subject's height, weight, and gender—the same type of calculations a treadmill uses to estimate calories burned during a workout. Currently, GoBe's calorie burn measurement is 90-95% accurate, compared to these standard calculations. We are working on expanding the types of activities GoBe can accurately measure, and on improving the overall accuracy of FLOW Technology's data.
Q: Does GoBe measure blood oxygen levels?
A: No, GoBe doesn't measure the oxygen levels in your blood.
Q: How does GoBe track heart rate? How frequent is the measurement taken?
A: GoBe uses a piezo pressure sensor to measure your heart rate several times in a minute.
Q: Does GoBe measure body temperature?
A: No, GoBe doesn't measure internal body temperature.
Q: Can GoBe measure calorie intake for someone following a ketogenic or low-carb diet?
A: Yes. If you're following a ketogenic or low-carb diet, you can use GoBe to automatically measure your calorie intake by adjusting a setting in the Healbe™ Body Manager app. However; currently, FLOW Technology provides a more accurate calorie intake measurement for carbohydrates and fats, so if you're following a low-carb diet you will see a decrease in accuracy. We are working on improving FLOW Technology's ability to measure calorie intake from protein sources.
GoBe Product FAQs
Q: Is GoBe waterproof?
A: Yes. GoBe is waterproof up to 3 meters. It can be worn in the shower or for a swim.
Q: How long does the battery last?
A: The body manager will operate up to 3 days on a single charge during typical use. The battery can be fully charged in approximately 1 hour.
Q: What color is the band?
A: GoBe is available in black. We anticipate that different colors will be available on the Healbe™ website starting in July.
Q: What physical activities can GoBe track?
A: Healbe GoBeTM combines accelerometer data with continuous heart rate monitoring to calculate calorie burn and metabolic rate during any activity – jogging, swimming, cycling, weight training, and more.
Q: How soon after eating does GoBe calculate your calorie intake?
A: Approximately 15-20 minutes after you eat, glucose concentrations in your blood start to rise. GoBe detects those changes and uses the information to calculate the calories you consumed.
Q: Can GoBe be used as a glucose monitor for someone with diabetes?
A: GoBe is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition, and it doesn't replace standard glucose monitoring for diabetics.
Q: Does GoBe track blood pressure?
A: Yes. GoBe uses a piezo pressure sensor to measure pulse wave and blood pressure.
Q: What smartphones does the Body Manager's app support?
A: The app is compatible with all phones running a BLE-enabled iOS or Android operating system.
Q: If my phone's operating system doesn't support the app, will I be able to use all the features with the website?
A: No. A user must have a compatible phone so information can be delivered to the website.
Q: Can I sync my body manager's data with third party apps?
A: At initial launch, GoBe will be compatible only with the body manager app. In the future, we hope to enable many popular third party apps to analyze GoBe data.

Why Indiegogo?
We've developed something that will make people's lives happier, healthier, and easier—every day. It only makes sense to invite everyone to get involved, so GoBe can do more, faster. We think the concept behind GoBe and FLOW Technology—effortless health, fitness, and balance—is something everyone can get behind. It takes wearable technology to new places by empowering people to simply wear it and be their best selves.
We've set a goal of $100,000, which will allow us to begin serial manufacturing and make GoBe widely available as soon as June 2014.
Development status and use of funds
We unveiled our working GoBe prototype and fully functional software app to a select group of retailers at CES 2014 as part of Levin Consulting's meeting place, located at South Hall 25168. Every dollar raised through Indiegogo will go directly to software improvement and manufacturing of GoBe devices.
Future Plans
We are continuing to develop and refine our technology for a wide range of applications.
Apart from regular patent research, we are conducting studies in order to forecast the future of human health monitoring systems. Currently we have both short-term and long-term (to 2030) plans for the development of FLOW Technology.
Continued development of our technology will focus on improving the accuracy and reliability of measurement, and improving the accuracy of our models for evaluating human health parameters. Our research activities are divided into three types:
Study and development of long-term concepts
Research on improving the operational value of our most promising technologies
We are also extending the list of parameters monitored and how we use these sets of parameters, and we plan to develop products for groups such as athletes, children, and seniors. Next year, we expect to introduce fundamental changes to the wristband's design.
We like this work. We want to surprise the world. Dreams should come true. The most mysterious and interesting thing in the world is related to ourselves, our life. People still know little about the human body.

I have an Apple wireless keyboard on a 1.42ghz mac mini. Ever since install, I can't make a capital letter "t". I just get the standard error beep. It doesn't matter what application am I using. I have tried to correct the problem with a keyboard re-install but I still get the same thing. When I try to "recognize" the keyboard under the system prefs keyboard setup assistant and change keyboard type, I get a statement telling me that I am pressing buttons on my built-in keyboard and that I need to press buttons on my external keyboard for an identification. this is not a major problem but it is certainly bothersome. Any ideas? thanks!

Catching Up With Middle Distance Standout Kate Grace
|Published by Scott Bush
Apr 30th 2013, 3:08pm | 54834 views
What a season it's been for middle distance standout Kate Grace. The former Yale All-American, and current NJ-NY Track Club athlete, is taking her talent to a new level in 2013, running U.S. top three times in the 1,500m and mile during the indoor season. Under the tutelage of coach Frank Gagliano (aka Gags), Grace seemingly continues to run PRs every time she steps on the track.
This past week in Des Moines, Grace not only finished third in the Drake Relays 1,500m, running a new PR of 4:08.24, she also took home her first national title by outleaning the field at the USA 1 Mile Road Championships. After a big week of racing, we caught up with Grace, discussing her recent performances, how she's evolved as an athlete over the past 18 months, her passion for both her NJ-NY Track Club teammates and Oiselle teammates, and much more.
Scott Bush (SB): Congratulations on a great week of racing in Des Moines. Not only did you win the USA 1 Mile Road Championships over a strong field, but you came back a few days later to place third in the Drake Relays 1,500m, running a new PR. What's going through your head right now, knowing you won your first national title and continue to make big improvements on the track?
Kate Grace (KG): Thank you! The wave of emotions looks something like this: excitement, relief, determination. The Road Mile was the cherry on top of the week. We weren't planning around this as a focal point of the season, and I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of congratulations and support. I know I'm strong, I've been training well and racing solid, but there is always the potential for doubt.
I hadn't raced most of the top mile talent. So I was looking for a benchmark - to compete well in the mile, and PR in the 15. It's the best feeling, to get a result that confirms the reality of gains I see in practice. But while it was a great week, a good "coming out," I am back in New Jersey and back to hard training. There have already been two A standards in the 1500, and I know many of the top contenders don't come into racing form until June. I remain focused on the primary goals: at USAs and beyond.
SB: You are off to a phenomenal start to the 2013 racing season. What are your goals for this year? Will the 1,500m be your primary event or will you focus in on the 800m a bit more?
KG: Good question - I don't have a good answer. The 1500 will be my focus long term, but there are still some 8s left in these legs. I'm running one at Oxy, followed by a 1500. Gags and I will make a decision on nationals sometime after that. As for goals...it's crazy how much these have changed in just one year (or, how they now seem realistic, while last year it was daydreams). Make the World team. More generally, compete like I belong, with the ferocity I had in college. I didn't do the European racing circuit last year, so this will be my first. I want to learn the ropes, make a good showing. Hit A standards in the 8 and 15. Have fun.
SB: You've made a big jump since graduating from Yale. You were fifth in the 800m at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships your senior year, now you are winning national titles and putting yourself right up at the front against the best in the U.S. What do you attribute this current big jump in performance to over the past bunch of months?
KG: Consistent training, plain and simple. At Yale, through a mixture of illness and stubbornness, I never put together summer or fall training. Any results in June were based on six months of work, pure 800 at that (30-35 miles a week, no runs longer than an hour).
I joined Gags in January 2012, just off an injury, and we whipped me in shape enough for two huge PRs in May (2:01.6 from ~2:03, and 4:10 from 4:20). But there was again no base, and that was clear at the trials. My results now are the outcome of 16 months with Gags, and my first season of strength work (higher mileage, long runs, tempos). What's coolest about that is there are so many things I can point to that can still be improved, that I get to address over the next few years.
SB: Making Team USA we can assume is your number one goal this season, but what other racing plans do you have scheduled out at this point?
KG: Tentative adidas GP and vague July racing in Europe, but nothing official to point to. I'm warned that especially in my freshmen season, it will be a lot of last minute flights and travel. Sounds kind of of fun...adventurous.
SB: So you're living in New Jersey and training with the NJ-NY Track Club. What's the training set up like for you with that group? How has being part of the group helped your training and racing?
KG: Gags' holds formal practices twice a week (Monday/Friday) at Rutgers in New Brunswick. Each practice hosts about 20 athletes. We have 12 women on the team, ranging from the 800 to 5k. While that is a bit of a range, with switching around on strength or speed days, there are usually 3-5 training partners to share the load for any given workout. I live in town with my roommate, Renée Tomlin. We have six middle distance athletes in the area, and we coordinate other runs, strength, and auxiliary work.
This system is more flexible than some I've heard. But I have found that it has pushed us to lean on each other, which has created very close bonds of friendship and support. I don't know what it is, maybe the Gag magic touch, but we seem to have hit a sweet spot with group dynamics. We don't compete together, and yet I feel as though I am running on a team. With laughter, shared experiences, competitiveness that is more cooperative than detrimental. It brings a lightness to training that I believe is vital to fuel the drive.
SB: Oiselle has been getting some good press recently, with Lauren Fleshman jumping on board, but more so with your elite-level performances indoor and out. Can you tell us a little about Oiselle and your involvement with them?
KG: Speaking of teams! Oiselle is at once sponsor, support-net, team, family. They are a by women, for women running apparel company, with a focus on performance and design. While many of their runners and customers are not necessarily track-centric, they have been incredibly supportive of me. It's part of this concept of "feminine/fierce" - about combining beautiful product with a competitive edge (pro running, competition, etc.). It allows for a wonderful overlap, among different levels, the track, the roads. I have been able to connect with runners who have never touched a track meet, with marathoners, etc, in a way that has opened my eyes to the many facets of the sport (and I hope vice versa).
I see this an a great model for continuing to expand and combine opportunities for distance running and track and field in the US. Plus, the smaller size of the company allows me a view into some of the back-end work, even to have a say in how I can be involved. I feel respected, included, appreciated. It's a "pinch-me, I'm dreaming" situation (which may be also a bit of a commentary on the state of athlete/sponsor relations in this sport).
SB: Despite being an All-American in college, a lot of fans still don't know a lot about you. How good of a runner were you in high school? Why did you choose Yale? How did you progress there?
KG: I was good, but not on the national scene in high school. I went to a small school in Los Angeles. Played soccer in the winter (CA!) and was off in the summer, so running was really only in season. Made a big jump to a 2:11 800 my sophomore year. I improved on all fronts each year, and kept a wide range - left with PBs of 25/55/2:10/4:59/xc-18:20. It's funny, I was very proud of these at the time, but clearly I was also in the CA bubble. When I won XC state in my division my senior year, I was asked about plans for NXN. I didn't know what they were talking about.
I chose Yale because I loved the team dynamic on my visit. But more so, I chose it because I loved the students and school, it felt in line with what I wanted for a college experience. I continued PR-ing each year. Made jumps to a 2:06 as a freshmen, 2:04 sophomore, 2:03 senior. As I mentioned, this was based on January-June training, July-December devolving. I ran tons of relays, even 4x1s, and loved them. I honed my competitiveness and consistency - mostly within the Ivy League. Even in national appearances, I improved each year on my finish. I finally started branching out my senior year with mile work, got a bit of notice when I ran 4:39 indoors, then the fastest 1200 split in a while (~20 yrs?) at Penn. It seems in general East Coast runners get less airtime on the national scene. Especially for us, as we did not travel to many of the big invitationals. I blame that for why I'm currently so bad at post-race interviews. I haven't done one since HS!
SB: Okay, the heart of the U.S. track season (domestic Diamond League meets and the U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships) is right around the corner. What's a typical week of training look like for you right now?
KG: Mileage at 65, it's what I've been averaging all spring. Workouts for us are Monday strength, Wednesday double, Friday speed. Saturday is a long run, usually 14, sometime 15/16. By double, I mean double workout. A morning tempo followed by some afternoon 200s. Strength sessions on Tuesdays and Fridays.
And then, I'm still learning the art of the extras. Physical therapy, plyos, more core, yoga, swimming. How to slot it all in, what's a good amount to support, not overwhelm. The heavy workout load changes when we start to hit big race weeks. I'll let you know what that looks like.
Quick Six
SB: Shorts you run in?
KG: Oiselle distance or stride.
SB: Favorite food?
KG: Sushi
SB: Favorite band?
KG: Currently loving the Mumford and Sons Pandora station. But have to admit - Pitbull or Nicki Minaj for pre-race pump-up.
SB: Tempo run, hill repeats or track repeats?
KG: Everything! (hill repeats with the slight edge)
SB: Favorite movie?
KG: Just saw Silver Linings Playbook, that was great. Love Actually is one of the only movies I can watch more than once.
SB: College major?
KG: Environmental Studies
Scott Bush
There is some fun stuff happening this year with development and growth of various events, change in sponsorship models and the rise of some new, fresh faces in the sport. Grace embodies much of this and is a perfect spokesperson for the sport over the next few years.
Chris Nickinson
What a great look into the NJ-NY Track Club and into one of the US's fastest rising middle distance stars, Scott. Kate is going to be a fascinating athlete to follow through the 2016 Olympic cycle as both an athlete and her role in the new world of sponsorships.

It would be a public relations nightmare for the National Basketball Association if none of its teams sign free agent Jason Collins to a contract.
The NBA, as well as other professional sports leagues, has done so much to combat homophobia by punishing or suspending players for using homophobic language, you would think the time has come for gay athletes like Collins to be allowed to play openly and without any hassle.
Apparently, the NBA, as well as the other sports leagues, have a long way to go.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A man who thought he was texting a nude picture to a 15-year-old girl is in jail, because that teenager was actually an undercover detective.
Lexington Police have charged 23-year-old Matthew Chaney with two sex-related charges involving a minor.
After his arrest, court documents show chaney admitted to having nude images of several underage girls who he had previously communicated with.
Chaney will be arraigned on Tuesday.

Noir Russian River Valley
"Savory and complex with
enticing fruit aromatics, this wine captures the essence of Russian
River Valley Pinot. Sophisticated aromas of bacon fat, baking spice

and preserved strawberry. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine
has a lovely tannin structure with refreshing acidity that supports

alright, alright. his cock is black. you made it clear.
I love to position cuckold like that. Licking her clit, my cock shaft and balls. Cuckold is cagged, good. Pull out and have cuckold suck all her juice off and put it back in. He is right there to eat her clean after stud loads her with sperm. Cuckold cock is straining in cage as he gets turned on.
where we live ?
Oh god this is so beautiful. Thank you so much for posting. I so wish I was there. I wish I was doing what your husband is. Lucky cuckold. Your Daddy is amazing. I love his voice. I bet he has an incredible cock and balls. Wish I was under them.
Wow, this is amazing! I didn't notice it at first because it didn't have the word chastity in the description. How long has he been locked up? How does she feel about keepking her husband locked? Keep 'em coming!

Curtis Granderson is at relatively peak value with an absorbable contract. (Robin Buckson / The Detroit News)
All those who believe payroll is driving the Tigers' steadily hotter trade talks are bang-on with their logic.
But it's more complicated, and more interesting, than a matter of money.
It's about crafting a contender deep into the next decade. And the Tigers, rightly it seems, are banking that melding new talent from trades of Curtis Granderson, Edwin Jackson, etc., with their own fresh crop of farm prospects will craft a new, long-term contender, at a far more sensible price.
All the commotion will shake out between now and during what could be a rough 2010 transition season. In the meantime, the Tigers won't mind trimming a salary or two ahead of the Godzilla-sized contract obligations they will jettison after the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
Tigers owner Mike Ilitch has almost certainly not told his front-office boss, Dave Dombrowski, to slash payroll. That's because Ilitch never has ordered any fire sales with the Red Wings or with the Tigers. And even with business tough and various Tigers contracts even tougher, he will not order Dombrowski to make bad deals to save money.
But what he will abide is what the Tigers are now apparently prepared to embrace: smart trades that will make this team more affordable in the near and long-term, and more competitive into the next decade.
It's why some of us thought all along Granderson would need to at least be discussed as trade bait this offseason. He was at relatively peak value with an absorbable contract. The Tigers have multiple needs that could become more multiple as a trio of free agents -- Placido Polanco, Fernando Rodney and Brandon Lyon -- move closer to perhaps playing elsewhere.
Trading Granderson figured to be a difficult, but necessary, way to add net value.
The Tigers also are closing in on promoting new pitchers and position players from their farm system. Casey Crosby probably will be in the starting rotation in 2011, maybe sooner. Another left-handed starter, Andy Oliver, will be at the doorstep, as well.
Casper Wells could emerge next spring as their new center fielder. Ryan Strieby and Brennan Boesch could be the new corner outfielders by 2011.
The Tigers by then likely will need a new shortstop and third baseman to assist their newly anointed second baseman, Scott Sizemore. Guess what flavor of position players will be involved in any major deals by the Tigers? Figure on a shortstop, for sure.
Tough decisions
As anticipated, the Tigers have plenty of clubs interested in Granderson and Jackson. And it's hardly a surprise the Yankees and Cubs probably lead the list.
At age 26 and with a Howitzer for an arm, Jackson will be looked at as a top-of-the-rotation heavyweight. Any contender will consider him money in the bank, which is nice, given that they'll probably need to fork over a fair slice of that bank account when Jackson and agent Scott Boras hit free agency in two years.
The Tigers need a right-handed starter of Jackson's caliber as badly as a team like the Yankees. But not when the Tigers need primarily to take care of Justin Verlander, whom they have a reasonably good chance of signing to a long extension in 2010.
Jackson becomes problematic for the Tigers because, unlike most agents, Boras doesn't go for extensions before free agency. It would conceivably leave the Tigers a lame-duck pitcher heading into 2011 whose trade value would steadily decrease as he moves closer to the free market.
Dombrowski can't gamble there.
Learning from mistakes
What Dombrowski can do is to get busy manufacturing a new team, with Verlander and Rick Porcello as its pitching pillars.
A general manager learned his lesson about bad contracts, as did Ilitch. You can build a contender for less money by acquiring young talent and letting it coalesce as it approaches its prime.
That's the thinking behind the seemingly imminent trades of Granderson, Jackson and maybe a handful of other Tigers. Anyone who thought this offseason was going to be quiet on the Comerica Park front should remember that fireworks aren't only for July.

Business Analysis of Children's Mathematics Tutoring Schools in Taiwan
Huang, Jui-ling, Hung, Li-li, Journal of Services Research
Tutoring education has been existed in Taiwan for a long time. It is an important part of social and continuing education and could make up for the insufficient regular school education. In this study, purchase behavior, market segmentation and development tendency of children's tutoring businesses in Taiwan were studied. The "localized monopoly" model was investigated in the economic aspect. Children's mathematics education does focus on the process of progressive understanding. In fact, it is directly related to the teaching skills of the teacher. Therefore, the faculty cultivation of mathematics tutoring education, especially among the chain operation tutoring schools for children is usually achieved through the passing over of experience. This experience-transmitting model will naturally affect joining conditions in chained operation systems, negotiations over rights and obligations, and the image of the entire business.
In Taiwan, the tutoring school is one of social education institutions whose operation is similar to the supplementary compulsory school. In accordance with the "Supplementary and Continuing Education Law" amended and promulgated by the Department of Social Education, Ministry of Education of Taiwan on July 10, 2002, supplementary and continuing education can be divided into three types: supplementary compulsory education, supplementary advanced education, and short-term tutorial education. Supplementary compulsory education shall be carried out by supplementary compulsory schools affiliated to an elementary or junior high school and the term of study shall be six months at least. Supplementary advanced education is offered as necessary by supplementary schools affiliated to schools at the level of senior secondary school or higher. Shortterm tutorial education may be provided by schools, government organizations, foundations, or private sectors. Short-term tutorial education shall be divided into two categories: non-academic and academic, and having courses lasting from one month to one year and six months. It follows that the tutoring schools and supplementary compulsory schools are one part of the supplementary education and further education in Taiwan. The difference between them is study length, and implementing and management units. However, the tutoring school is different from other industries in the enterprise operation. Although it is far from holy task of bringing up a generation of able men and women, it takes on the important tasks of the social education. Particularly, the tutoring school focusing on the junior high school students and primary school students also fulfill guidance duty of moral education besides improving the students' academic achievement.
Hsieh (2002) discussed the purchase behavior of tutorial education for junior high school and elementary school students, with research variables such as population statistics, life style, location, values, consumption motivation, information source, evaluation criteria, consumption decision, and post-purchase behavior. The results of this study indicated that the characteristics of parents can be divided into four clusters: practical and earnest, passion and open, fashion and enjoyment, and reticence, in accordance with the life style and population statistics. The consumption motivation of attending tutoring schools depends on the requirement of advanced study after the end of the day's classes. The information sources mainly come from the relatives and students' praise and recommendation. Consumers of different market segmentation variables have a significant difference in population statistics, life style, value, consumption motivation, information source, evaluation criteria, consumption decision, and postpurchase behavior. In the statistical data concerning the purchase behavior of children's tutoring education business in Taiwan, "Life Status Investigation Report of Children in Taiwan in 1996" made by the Department of Statistics, indicated that the rate of those children less than 12 years old, who attended the non-academic learning school in Taiwan, went up to 65% in 1995 from 48% in 1992. …

Feng Shui, an ancient oriental philosophy turned marketing campaign, is sweeping our heathen nation. It promises you good health, good luck and good prosperity. Buy the book, or the chart, or the incense or all, plus shipping. Feng Shui always appears at the new year, when folks really care about these things.
I was staring at a weird bamboo plant ($59.95) in a Cleveland plant shop. A sloe-eyed clerk glided over and breathed, "Feng Shui."
"Geshundheit," I thought.
"Just another rube looking for philodendron on sale," I'm sure she thought. Well, yeah.
Meanwhile, I'm feeling like really comfortable. Plants have a special Feng Shui for me. She asked me where I work. I said, "I write for a newspaper in Canton."
"Oh, my," she said.
Her face indicated her Feng Shui energy meter was skyrocketing.
"No, the other Canton, in Ohio," I said.
Meter falls back to below normal.
I almost bought the bamboo but detected bad karma from my credit card. I figured I'd better get a handle on this Feng Shui stuff before I get into trouble.
I'd just read where a company tore down a new $300 million skyscraper in Hong Kong after it failed the Feng Shui test. Lovers test their opposite's Feng Shui before deciding on a relationship. All puppies have fantastic Feng Shui, so no worries there. So does the Bieber chap.
This can be serious stuff.
Feng Shui, an ancient oriental philosophy turned marketing campaign, is sweeping our heathen nation. It promises you good health, good luck and good prosperity. Buy the book, or the chart, or the incense or all, plus shipping.
Feng Shui always appears at the new year, when folks really care about these things.
The Feng masters, for a fee, teach us how to focus the energy all around us for practical life enrichment, such as winning the Ohio Lottery. Of course, the Internet has automated the process.
Here are some questions a master would ask you in the introductory session:
Is your TV at the center of your living room? Loaded question. I said yes. Bad.
Do you have a window near your bed? Pretty hard not to unless you live in a prison. Good.
When you cook in the kitchen, is your back to the door? Yes, the refrigerator door. Wisecrack, bad.
Are your houseplants happy? Let me ask them. No response. Bad.
Are you happy with the artwork on your walls? Yes, we got it for free (inherited). Good.
Are you happy with your furniture? Yes, we got it for free (inherited). Good.
Then I clicked "compile answer" and watched an animated pop-up ad for a Feng Shui soft-tissue massager while the server crunched my score. The envelope please:
"You have fabulous Feng Shui! You are on the right Feng Shui track, and I'm sure you are seeing the benefits. You probably have respect and a decent job. Your love life is probably not so bad either."
Page 2 of 2 - Define "not so bad."
A handy Feng Shui products catalog link popped up, and a $112.95 Feng Shui compass. I figured I'm out of here and headed to SportsCenter.
But the thought stuck with me. If billions of folks believe something, will it not become a self-fulfilling prophecy? Do plants have emotions? Was Feng Shui in a Nielsen family? Does my refrigerator have karma?
After I told my wife about the bamboo encounter, she rushed out and bought me a trio of it, two bucks at Marc's. (Feng likes things in threes.) She didn't say it, but I think she doesn't like me hanging out in new-age plant stores.
I rooted it in a dish of marbles and water and pretty much forgot it in the jungle of our plant room. A check found it had doubled in size and looked downright Feng Shuish. It filled the dish with roots. I repotted it in good soil, in a pot made in China (aren't they all?).
I felt, I don't know, a calming peace as I turned on the game. Ohio State wacked 'em in an overtime miracle, high energy. I made an emergency run to the Kiwki Mart for Lotto tickets and Chinese noodles. The tickets bombed. Not all highs are good highs.
But fabulous!

|In vivo flow cytometry visualizes the effects of tumor resection on metastasis by real-time monitoring of rare circulating cancer cells.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22454286 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The quantification of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is an emerging tool used to diagnose, stratify and monitor patients with metastatic diseases. In vivo flow cytometry (IVFC) has the capability to measure the dynamics of fluorescently labeled CTCs continuously and non-invasively. In this study, we monitored CTC dynamics in a GFP-transfected orthotopic tumor model of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using IVFC. Our IVFC approach showed a 1.8-fold higher sensitivity than whole blood analysis by conventional flow cytometry and was able to distinguish CTC changes between orthotopic and subcutaneous tumor models. We also used our model to investigate whether liver resection promotes or restricts hematogenous metastasis in advanced HCC. Both the number of CTCs and early metastases decreased significantly after tumor resection. Resection also prominently restricted hematogenous and distant metastases. Importantly, CTC numbers correlated with tumor growth in the orthotopic tumor model, including the number and size of distant metastases. When combined with orthotopic tumor models, the novel IVFC technique presented here offers the capability to elucidate mechanisms that drive hematogenous metastasis and to monitor the efficacy of cancer therapy.

|Effects of lovastatin on biliary lipid secretion and bile acid metabolism in humans.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 2010695 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Lovastatin, an inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, lowers cholesterol saturation of bile. To determine the mechanism of this effect and further define the role of cholesterol synthesis in regulation of biliary lipid metabolism, we studied ten human volunteers in a control period and again after 5-6 weeks on lovastatin, 40 mg b.i.d. Mean sterol production from acetate in mononuclear leukocytes fell from 1.18 to 0.84 pmol/min per 10(6) cells on lovastatin (P less than 0.02). Concomitantly there was reduction in mean biliary secretion of cholesterol from 143 to 96 mumol/h (P less than 0.02). On lovastatin, mean pool size of bile acids by the Lindstedt method fell from 3193 to 2917 mumol (one-sided P = 0.05) and mean pool size by the one-sample method fell from 5158 to 4091 mumol (P less than 0.002). Lovastatin had no effect on mean fractional turnover rate of either cholic acid (0.77 vs. 0.74 day-1) or chenodeoxycholic acid (0.51 vs. 0.54 day-1). Mean total bile acid synthesis was lower on lovastatin (1443 vs. 1240 mumol/day), but the difference did not quite achieve statistical significance. In humans, inhibition of cholesterol synthesis by lovastatin lowers biliary cholesterol saturation by reducing cholesterol secretion into bile. Bile acid pool size, and perhaps bile acid synthesis, are also reduced by this inhibition.

|Scar revision techniques-pearls and pitfalls.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23027214 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Although scars are a normal part of the healing process, facial scars have significant implications on a patient's well-being, both physically and psychologically. Facial scars are one of the most common reasons a patient presents to the facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon. The ability to evaluate facial scars and choose the most appropriate technique for revision is of paramount importance to obtain the best result. A thorough understanding of superficial facial anatomy and principles of wound healing is equally as important as meticulous technical execution. Above all, the expectations of the patient must be assessed and considered when formulating a surgical plan.

Travelers who crave something real, meaningful and pure are finding their way to Virginia. The Old Dominion's cultural traditions are as diverse and beautiful as the people who keep them alive - from the hollows of Appalachia to the tobacco barns of Southern Virginia to the crab shacks of the Chesapeake Bay. These are the places where visitors can touch, hear, see and be something extraordinary, even if only for a moment.
Wayne Henderson's passion and skill for building acoustic guitars reached all the way from Virginia's Appalachian Mountains to the eyes and ears of Eric Clapton. Between jam sessions, concert dates at Carnegie Hall and delivering mail, Henderson built Clapton's guitar - and the legend was born.
Henderson, now a master luthier, has given up life as a mail man and puts all his energy into crafting guitars and authentic mountain music along The Crooked Road, Virginia's Heritage Music Trail - one of the places in Virginia where visitors enjoy a brush with authenticity. Fans can catch Henderson strumming one of his own at his annual Wayne C. Henderson Music Festival and Guitar Competition at Grayson Highlands State Park in Mouth of Wilson. Held on the third Saturday of June each year, the festival brings together the region's top bluegrass and mountain musicians in a family-friendly setting.
Wayne Henderson has remained firmly planted not far from his boyhood home in Rugby, population seven. Ever humble, he remains unfazed by the "world class guitar maker" hype.
Eric Clapton ordered two identical guitars - one for himself and one to auction for charity. The process is chronicled in Allen St. John's book, Watching Wayne Henderson Build the Perfect Instrument: Clapton's Guitar. The duplicate was auctioned off in May 2006 at Christies. It sold for $31,200 - the highest ever paid for a guitar made by a living American luthier.
The Crooked Road - Virginia's Heritage Music Trail is a driving tour through the Appalachian Mountains following U.S. Route 58 and connects heritage music venues in the region. Taking the road-less-traveled will lead you to these fantastic finds:
Your next trip across Virginia should be a crooked one!

The firm was founded in Kyiv in 2002 by two Ukrainian lawyers, Sergey Shklyar (currently the firm's Senior Partner) and Timur Bondaryev (now Managing Partner). A German lawyer, Wolfram Rehbock (now Senior Partner), joined the team in 2002. The firm has a team of 57 seasoned legal professionals led by 6 partners.
Arzinger& Partners Ukraine has become the network's largest and most dynamic office. Every year since 2002 our business has grown dramatically, annually doubling both revenue and the number of lawyers we employ. In 2007, Arzinger was one of the first Ukrainian legal firms to open a second office in Lviv - the heart of Western Ukraine. In September 2010 Arzinger opened its office in Odesa. Attorneys of the South Ukrainian Branch will represent interests of clients in Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhya regions and AR Crimea. Today, the Arzinger team consists of 92 employees.
To sustain solid growth, in January 2009 the firm launched a new strategy, which includes: change of status to an independent local firm; development of and expansion into new markets and practice areas; and joining international associations of independent law firms. In line with our new strategy we have created a number of new posts, in order to make the practice more efficient. These include positions in Knowledge Management, IT, HR and Communications.
The firm specialises in M & A, Corporate Law, Real Estate and Construction, Antitrust and Competition, Litigation and Arbitration, IPR, Tax, Banking & Finance, PPP, Public Procurement, Employment, Administrative Law, Capital Markets and IPOs. We serve clients operating in financial services, energy, real estate, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, telecommunications, retail, aerospace, agriculture, and the infrastructure & transport industries.
The firm has built close working relationships with high-profile law firms in Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom, the United States, Russia, and many other jurisdictions. As a result, our clients have access to global legal services of unsurpassed quality. These relationships have developed and proved invaluable over many years, but they are non-exclusive: accordingly, Arzinger is able to work on any transaction - in coordination with the client - with those law firms which we consider to have the most appropriate expertise.

I see him watching,
Taking everything within him.
He's obsessed,
He can't help it,
For he must get every line, shape, crease,
In order to breathe.
He takes his time,
Giving every little stroke his all.
Such magic he is creating,
I become faint.
His secret smells make me desire him more,
For his patience of pleasing others before himself,
He's naked,
His thoughts are revoked,
For he has done this many times,
He knows just the angle,
Just the spot,
To make the climax.
As I watch his perfection,
I can't help but think,
After he is done with this,
He must paint the insides of me.

Obama Jokes About Smoking, Internet Freaks Out
Politico responded, "No one is exempt from first lady Michelle Obama's health initiatives — especially not her husband."

Yet much like millions of other men around the world, there is one thing President Barack Obama admits terrifies him: his wife's wrath." And The Hill said Obama was "caught" uttering the comment, as if it were some deep, dark secret — and not just a lighthearted joke (as the President has been often known to make).

How to Grow Cucumbers in Pots at Home
Learning how to grow cucumbers in pots will provide you with a ready supply of fresh cucumbers when these delicious vegetables are in season.
Cucumbers are scientifically classified as fruits although they are used as vegetables. Cucumbers grow on a vine and like all vines, need space to run.
When learning how to grow cucumbers in pots you may also have to learn how to set up a trellis on your porch for your cucumber vine. The trellis provides the physical foundation your cucumber vine needs to grow and flourish in its container.
Cover of Containers (Garden Project Workbooks)
A trellis is used to give all the leaves on your cucumber plant maximum exposure to sun. When cucumber plants are grown in pots and given adequate access to sunlight, they are better able to produce well-sized fruit. The cucumbers are a tasty ingredient in pomegranate juice and other pomegranate recipes.
Growing cucumbers in pots with the assistance of a trellis has an added advantage. The foliage will provide your porch with some amount of privacy. You can make your trellis yourself or buy it at a home and garden store. To avoid the work of building a trellis you can also grow cucumber varieties like Salad Bush, which have short vines. The drawback is that these cucumbers are smaller.
English: A lattice allows a growing cucumber plant to grab a hold of strings and help the plant grow upwards towards the sun. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Plant your cucumbers in their pots after the frost is over. Cucumber vines like warm temperatures. In temperate countries, the best time to plant cucumbers is in late spring. The temperature at this time is best for starting cucumbers in containers. He seeds should be sown directly into the containers. Cucumbers do not do well with transplanting.
Cucumbers like soil with a pH of about 6.5. You can add organic fertilizer to the soil you use in your containers. Organic compost from your own household or from a neighbor can also be used to enrich the soil in your containers.
Cucumbers are susceptible to attacks from insects, so inspect your cucumber plants on a regular basis for signs of infestation. These small garden plants are attractive and will do well in your garden with the right amount of care.

Fired Up Fuchsia - This powdered oil based color is approved for soaps, lotions and lip products. Unlike some neon colors on the marketplace, it is FDA approved for skincare products. As a fun little twist, it does glow under a black neon light. This colorant is not approved for eye make up.Safe for use in lip balms
Instructions for Use: To use in melt and pour, disperse and mix well in liquid glycerin (similar to working with a pigment). We found that our Mini Mixer makes quick work of the dispersing! While this is a non-bleeding colorant, if you add too much to your soap it can migrate into other colors in the soap design or stain washcloths. We recommend starting out at 1/16th to 1/8th teaspoon per pound for melt & pour soaps. For cold process, add 1 teaspoon of oxide to 1 tablespoon of a carrier oil like Sweet Almond or Olive Oil and mix well using a mini mixer – add 1 teaspoon of this mixture to your batch. For more information on oxides in soap, check out this blog post.
For the soap sample above, we used 1 tsp of colorant per lb of soap.
As of September, 2014, this product is using a slightly different formulation, but we find it works just as well as ever before.
Ingredients: Botanical Name: Bis(Glycidoxyphenyl)propane / Bisaminomethylnorbornane copolymer, Aluminum Hydroxide (CI 77002), D&C Yellow No. 10 (CI 47005), D&C Red No. 28 (CI 45410), D&C Red No. 22 (CI 45380)Common Name: Bis(Glycidoxyphenyl)propane / Bisaminomethylnorbornane copolymer, Aluminum Hydroxide, Yellow 10, Red 28, Red 22

GREEN BAY – Clay Matthews wasn't able to practice on Thursday – on a day when the Green Bay Packers were in pads – and that may very well mean the star outside linebacker won't play Sunday night against the Detroit Lions.
Despite taking part on a limited basis in practice for the second straight day, veteran safety Charles Woodson is likely a week away from his return as well.
Here's a look at the full, official injury report from Thursday:
Packers coach Mike McCarthy didn't rule Matthews or Woodson out after Thursday's practice – in fact, with the game not until Sunday night, McCarthy said he was "hopeful" and that the team will "give them every opportunity to play" – but he did not sound encouraged. In fact, McCarthy said he had hoped Matthews would practice in pads Thursday – since next Thursday the practice won't be in pads because of the Sunday night game – but that it "didn't work out."
As for Woodson, McCarthy said he "took some reps" but characterized Woodson's work as him "just getting back into it." He termed Woodson's participation "very limited."
That would lead one to think that both star defenders will be more likely to return Dec. 16 at Chicago.
Meanwhile, the Packers could be down to only four healthy defensive linemen – veterans B.J. Raji and Ryan Pickett and rookies Jerel Worthy and Mike Daniels – with Wilson and Neal unlikely to play.
"If we have four, we go with four. We've gone with four before," McCarthy said. "(We) also have the option of doing something at the end of the week from a roster standpoint. That's what we're looking at."
The only good news was that Shields practiced in full and looked like he's ready to play.
"I'd like to think you'll see him full go," McCarthy said.

Level 3 Communications' planned acquisition of Savvis' content-delivery network will position Level 3 to cash in on Microsoft's growing Internet search and video business.
While Savvis' content-delivery network unit serves some 100 customers, Microsoft is thought to be the largest customer and the customer with the best potential for growth.
"This is a pretty shrewd move on the part of Level 3," says Stephen Arnold, managing director of IT consulting firm Arnold IT. "Level 3 will participate in the Microsoft money flow. Anyone delivering video has to use services like these."
Arnold notes that Savvis, Akamai, and Hewlett-Packard currently are major providers for Microsoft's Internet infrastructure. "This places Level 3 close to the heart of the new Microsoft," he adds.
Citing the importance of its relationship with Level 3, Microsoft's Arne Josefsberg says: "As we grow our online services business, stability and control over our network infrastructure becomes increasingly important to deliver great experiences for our customers, partners and advertisers." Josefsberg is general manager of global foundation services at Microsoft.
Level 3 already operates one of the world's largest Internet backbones through its fiber- optic network.
Announced Tuesday, the $135 million acquisition -- expected to be completed in the middle of the first quarter of 2007 -- includes network components, customer contracts, and intellectual property. The Savvis content-delivery network, or CDN, operation recorded sales of $15 million for the nine months ending Sept. 30.
"The acquisition of Savvis' CDN services business will enable Level 3 to better address the increasing opportunity presented by rich media applications such as video, Web 2.0 applications, multiplayer online gaming, and software as a service over the Internet," Kevin O'Hara, president and chief operating officer of Level 3, said in a statement.
O'Hara noted that Level 3 already has a strong presence in online video distribution though its Vyvx operation. "With native CDN capabilities and with Level 3's highly scalable, industry-leading IP backbone," he said, "we believe that Level 3 will be able to bring additional value to all video-centric companies."
Noting that other services delivered by Savvis' CDN unit include IP transit, wavelengths, metro transport, and collocation, O'Hara said Level 3 will offer a portfolio of end-to-end content-distribution solutions.
Level 3 already has an arm's-length financial relationship with Microsoft. Warren Buffett, a close friend and investment partner of Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, is a major Level 3 investor.
Also on Tuesday, Savvis said it plans to spend $200 million to develop four new data centers for its managed hosting and collocation services. The centers will be located in Atlanta, New York, Washington, D.C., and Santa Clara, Calif.

Here you will find the answers to the most commonly asked question. They are classified into:
Is it possible to combine two volunteering placements?
Usually it is. It will depend on the length of your stay, the availability of placements, and on your profile.
Can I volunteer for 35 or 40 hours per week instead of 20 or 25?
Yes, especially if it is a requirement for your university. Still, you might need to combine two placements to be able to complete this number of hours.
Will I get a certificate of participation?
Yes, upon your request. If you want proof of participation, you need to let us know at least a week before your departure date. You will also sign a volunteering agreement upon your arrival, which is also proof of participation.
Can I contact previous volunteers?
Sure! If you want to get in touch with past volunteers, we will send you a few names and e-mail addresses. Sometimes you need to be patient though, as our previous volunteers not always answer back immediately.
Can I decide onsite the length of my stay?
Yes, as long as you are able to commit for the minimum length of 4 weeks.
I only have 2 weeks available, can I still participate?
Unfortunately, no. Organizing each placement takes time and logistics, and we all work ad honorem. Such a short placement takes too many resources and it is too short a period for you to make a meaningful contribution. We might consider a 3-week stay, depending on your profile, the availability of placements, and the time of the year.
I'm still not 18 years old. Can I still join the program?
Unfortunately not. Even if you bring an authorization from your parents, we are not able to accept you into the program if you are a minor.
I'm over 50 years old. Can I still join the program?
Of course! There is no maximum age limit to join the Patagonia Volunteer program. It is important, however, that you have no serious health issues and that you do not need special assistance. Bear in mind that you might need to walk a considerable distance (anything from 5 to 25 blocks) to get to your volunteering place, and that the weather in Patagonia is quite unpredictable and changing.
Do I need to get a visa?
Most nationalities do not require a visa to enter Argentina. No visa is required for citizens from the European Union, United States, Canada, Australia, Latin American countries. You will get a 90 days permit when entering Argentina. If you stay longer, you can easily renew your permit at the border.
Here you have a full list of nationalities with a detail of whether a visa is required to enter Argentina.
Do I need to get any vaccines or immunization?
You will not be required to present a vaccines certificate to enter Argentina and for Patagonia you won't need any kind of immunization. However, if during your stay in Argentina you plan to travel to the north, for example to the Iguazu Falls, or you will also visit Brazil or Paraguay, you should get yellow fever immunization.
I fly to Buenos Aires, then what?
From Buenos Aires (or Santiago de Chile if you got a better deal), you need to travel to Esquel. That's 2000 km..., and you can travel either by plane or by bus.
I arrive in Esquel, then what?
Usually we will pick you up at the bus station or airport, for which you need to send us your arrival details. We will take you to your accommodation and let you rest. If for some reason we cannot pick you up, you will need to take a taxi to the accommodation, and we will arrange for your host to be expecting you at home.
On the next day, or following Monday if you arrived during the weekend, we will pick you up for your orientation workshop.
Why shouldn't I arrive in June or July?
Mainly because experience has shown that volunteers who come during the coldest months of winter (and stay for a short period) do not have such a great time. And we want you to enjoy your stay, make the most of it and, given the right conditions, stay involved with the Mapu projects when you get back home.
June and July are tough months, quite cold, rainy, snowy and windy. Days are short, and there isn't much to do outdoors in your free time (unless you are a fan of winter sports). Probably you won't do much besides your volunteering activities, and, thus, you won't socialize much with the local people. So, your experience might not be as rich as it can be when the weather is friendlier.
However, if you are planning to stay past the winter months and/or you are tough and enjoy cold weather, then you are welcome to arrive into the cold!
Can I arrive at the end of December, during Xmas and New Year's Eve?
Usually yes. Still, bear in mind that you may then not start your placement immediately, as those weeks are full of holidays and many host organizations are closed.
Can I rent my own apartment instead of living with a host family?
Though it is possible for you to rent your own apartment during your stay, we recommend living with a host family for the benefits of socializing and adapting to daily life in Esquel. You will also save money by living with a host family.

Though it might seem like a probable cakewalk for MSU today, Tom Izzo is concerned with Northwestern's "intricate" offense.
- Filed Under
EAST LANSING -- It has been 30 Big Ten games since Michigan State last saw Northwestern, and it has been more than two years since the Spartans last recorded a victory over the Wildcats.
That's a scheduling quirk -- the teams played once last season, an 81-74 home victory for Northwestern on Jan. 14, 2012 -- but it's also a reason for Tom Izzo to fret.
"That bothers me," said Izzo, whose No. 10 Spartans (23-7, 12-5 Big Ten) will try to finish the regular season tonight at Breslin Center with a win over the 11th-place Wildcats (13-17, 4-13). An MSU win, coupled with a Michigan win today over Indiana, ...
