I'm a guy who enjoys all types of humor, from low brow fart jokes obviously to political and social satire. Everything in between is fair game. Which may include making fun of you too! ;)
I'm very emotionally stable so I rarely get angry or depressed. I'm self-confident, trusting and patient with my friends. Jealously isn't a part of my nature. I trust till I'm given a good reason not too. Even still, I like to believe in everyone's potential to be good if not great people because at some point, everyone one is or was to someone else. Which is why I treat my friends pretty well and once you have my friendship, it's extremely hard to lose it.
I'm fine on my own and have plenty of great friends, hopefully your name can be added to that list. Even better if you like to dance or karaoke or catch a movie or live theatre show. I'm not a bar star per say as I don't drink, in fact I D.D. my own birthdays.

Have them since few months now ,wearing regurlaly and looks still new . Dr martens quality . Will recommend without a doubtSize Rated As:
- Phil Broadway10/04/2015
This is my first ever pair of Dr Martens shoes and I must say they are incredibly well made and really good looking. I have quite wide feet across the top of the toes but these shoes have plenty of width. I've only worn them a couple of times and they are already softening nicely. Only negative point would be the price (£70), a bit pricey but seems increasingly the case forwell designed, well made shoes these days. Overall a good shoe.Size Rated As:

bought these for my husband, looks very smart. great to have nice looking shoes in size 13.Size Rated As:
- William Simmonds14/08/2014
Nice pair of shoes! I really like the colour and design and they look like they are well made and should last a while. The only thing I perhaps don't like is that they are quite 'shallow', so my heel slips out just slightly.

Photos: The last 10 clashes between the Thunder and Mavericks
Photo: Matt Strasen/Special Contributor
Thunder 99, Mavericks 95 (January 6, 2011 in Dallas): Kevin Durant and Thunder weren't feeling sorry for the short-handed Mavericks. Durant scored 28 points, Russell Westbrook had 15 points and nine assists and the Thunder took advantage of the absence of Dirk Nowitzki. Dallas also is missing No. 3 scorer Caron Butler. Jeff Green had 16 points and nine rebounds, and Serge Ibaka added 13 points and eight rebounds to help the Thunder avoid their first three-game losing streak of the season. Shawn Marion had a season-high 25 points for the Mavericks. (AP)

Resolved questions
what does "the Senate"indicate?
Behind him he left pandemonium. Parliamentary procedure fell apart. Morse asked Prouty to "yield for a quorum call for an emergency," and on the other side of Constitution Avenue quorum buzzers sounded in every Senator's office. (Through this extension of word-of-mouth, supple- merited by a secretary's phone call, Church of Idaho was informed while attending a formal luncheon on the eighth floor of the State Department. He then made the announcement to Averell Harriman and the assembled diplomats.) Morse's move should have prepared the way for an adjourn¬ment motion from the Majority Leader. But Mansfield was overcome, he couldn't speak. Dirksen made the move as Minority Leader. He forgot to provide a reason for the record, however, and so, with Holland presiding, the Senate just stopped.]

Sort by:
Best Answer - Chosen by the Asker
The Senate had been in session, which means that the Senators were meeting in the Capitol, debating or voting on legislation. Mansfield should have requested an adjournment, which they then would have voted yes or no on, but he was so upset that they just ended the meeting without following the usual procedure and the written record shows that.

THANKS to Bennett's Petroleum and Unions Tasmania the cost of living just got a little easier for union members.
Union Power! the new discount program run by Unions Tasmania, has teamed up with Bennett's Petroleum to offer registered Union Power! members a 5 cents per litre discount on fuel purchases.
Unlike discounts offered by outlets linked to the big supermarkets there is no requirement to spend money in-store before receiving the discount.
"Union Power! members just need to show their card when buying the fuel," said Unions Tasmania Secretary Kevin Harkins. "That's it.
"Bennett's Petroleum is a locally owned, Tassie business and this partnership sends Tassie workers through its doors. It's a win-win."
The fuel offer starts Saturday December 1, 2012, putting more money in members' pockets when they need it most, in the lead up to Christmas.
More than 50,000 Tasmanian workers belong to unions across the state and they are all eligible to join Union Power! to take advantage of this great offer.
"Tasmania is going through some tough economic times so every dollar workers save is good news," Mr Harkins said.
"Our aim is to sign up as many union members as possible and enter more discount partnerships. We are especially looking forward to striking a better deal with power prices."
Bennett's Petroleum CEO Troy Bennett looked forward to offering value-for-money choice for workers.
"This relationship with Unions Tasmania will provide a strong and consistent offer for all members 365 days a year, and we are happy this will help individuals with cost of living pressures," he said.
This offer will be redeemable at eight Bennett's Petroleum sites in Hobart and surrounds; Caltex Moonah, Caltex Claremont, Caltex Huonville, Caltex Brooker Avenue, Caltex Kempton, Caltex Snug, Caltex Regent Street, and Caltex Lenah Valley.
Contact: Kevin Harkins—Unions Tasmania 0419 376 362
Libby Calvert—Bennett's Petroleum (03) 6242 8208
Workplace Relations Minister David O'Byrne will launch the Bennett's Petroleum/Union Power! Fuel Discount Offer

Set Up
- Enlist members to ensure that the facilities and equipment are spotless.
- Plan to offer refreshments, if feasible. People respond to free food and beverages.

Open House Activities
- Download Fire In You resource materials to show potential recruits during your open house.
For example: Hang up a Fire In You poster in your department; share the Fire In You brochure with potential recruits at your open house; and play the commercial while potential recruits are at your station during your open house.

- Direct a hand line with another member.
- Show an extinguisher technique using a Bullex system.
- Review the turnout gear and SCBA.
- Demonstrate the Jaws of Life.
- Have displays (fire police, etc.) showing their important role in the fire service.
- Have people experience what it's like to perform CPR chest compression techniques.
- Host an electronic recycling event during your open house, which will draw plenty of traffic and can double as a fundraising opportunity.

Remember Me
By that time the psychobilly scene was mainly dominated by british bands, and world-wide psycho fans welcomed the Nekromantix new and different style. The music is best described in terms like "Elvis meets the Wolfman", add punk attitude and spice it up with a universe of monster movies lyrics. Outrageous wildness on stage and the well known coffin bass have proved that it is allowed to have fun.
After heavy touring all over Europe, the Nekromantix released Curse of the Coffin in 1991. The same titled low budget video was shown several times on MTV's "Alternative Nation". This classic album was to become an influence for new bands for the years to come.
The follow-up album Brought back to Life, in 1994, resulted in the only psychobilly band ever being nominated for a Grammy Award, followed by a tour in Japan. It is considered by many as their masterpiece and as a perfect album.
The fourth album, the critically acclaimed and also controversed Demons are a Girls Best Friend, was released in 1996 and the Nekromantix appeared in the news on Danish national TV, followed by several European festival appearances and tours.
Their fifth real album was the awaited live album, Undead'n'Live, which includes all on stage favorite tunes. As Kaptain Zorch said, "they obviously care about their music, and go to great pains to reproduce their recorded sound live on stage."
2001... The sixth album, Return Of The Loving Dead, was produced and released in the USA, with still the same philosophy than the others. Why the USA ? It is still a great mystery, but some have their own idea about it. A kind of "successful career achievement" parody, or maybe just not to do like the Stray Cats did... Unless it was just a good deal for them, who knows ? Even the band doesn't !
Despite the fact that all their albums has been low budget recordings released on small independent labels and that absolutely no money was spent for promoting, the Nekromantix have achieved world-wide acceptance and been touring Japan, USA, Great Britain, Germany, Finland, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, France, Spain and Denmark.
In 2004, the Nekromantix are back with Dead Girls Don't Cry, still produced and released in the USA, in record time. Meanwhile, the band is still heavy touring across the world. But most of all, the philosophy is still the same : "have fun and hold nothing sacred."

Reverend David Andrew performed a beautiful, memorable ceremony for us, even after we contacted him less than two weeks before our special day. His responses were prompt, helpful, and supportive. The ceremony was exactly as we imagined it. We couldn't have chosen a better officiant for our day. Thanks so much Reverend David!
Very pleased with prompt response and accommodating us in his schedule. Proud to have him as our reverend,
Rev. David has made the whole wedding process very easy for us. He has been GREAT to work with: very nice, professional, organized, and most importantly responded immediatley to any question we had! Everything for the ceremony was laid out for us to customize how we wanted. Everything went perfect and could not have done it without Rev. David. To anyone out there that is looking for an officiant and do not know who to choose, we were the same way, but we are extremely happy with the service Rev. David provided for us! Again.. Thank you!!!
Reverand David was a pleasure to work with. Really made the day great. Was on top of everything. Will recommend to everyone I know
Reverend David was very helpful in helping us create a ceremony that was special to us as a couple. Our ceremony was absolutely unforgettable and brought in new and old traditions.
Reverend David was very professional and helpful. He made a personalized ceremony for our wedding that was absolutely beautiful. He was very responsive and flexible with any changes or concerns I had. I could not have asked for a more beautiful ceremony, would gladly recommend him to anyone getting married in the future!
Reverend David made our wedding day very special! He read our personalities and tailored the ceremony accordingly. He made it a truly unique experience and a day we will remember and cherish forever! Thank you so much!!
We are so happy we chose Reverend David to officiate our wedding. He was so flexible and willing to do whatever we wanted. He was so organized and made things stress free for us! Highly recommend him!!
Reverend David had wonderful ceremony arranged for our wedding it went smoothly and we had so many great compliments from our ceremony! Would recommend to anyone looking for someone who will do a different location wedding where it is some times card to get an officiant to travel too.
My husband and I are both Catholic but planned to marry outside of the church. We wanted to find someone who would make our ceremony as close to a Catholic wedding as possible. After doing quite a bit of research, I found Reverends by Request. Reverend David married us and I couldn't have asked for anyone better! He was extremely flexible and so easy to work with! He did exactly what we wanted and focused on us, love, God, and marriage. Our families and friends thought he was wonderful as well and that he did an amazing job. We would recommend Reverends by Request to anyone!
Reverend David was phenomenal! Our wedding was beautiful and he made it so simple to have the elegant day we imagined. He was flexible, kind and professional. Simply perfect!
Great personality, would def recomnend him to any of my freinds or family
Reverend David Andrew performed our ceremony. He was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL to work with. He was caring, detailed and above all just a wonderful person. They were recommended to us by our wedding venue, and when I first called him on the phone, I felt so comfortable speaking to him. And when we met in person, I knew we had picked the riight Reverend to perform our ceremony. During that first visit, we also had the pleasure of meeting the other reverend - Reverend Gary Mazzio. He too was as warm as a person. Love......love.....love.....everything that Reverend David did for us. Will DEFINITELY use him again for any future family events. He is now part of our family. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would.
Our wedding service preformed by the Reverend David was nothing short of FANTASTIC!
Outstanding service by Reverend David. Very professional, exactly what we wanted for our wedding day.
Rev. Gary performed a beautiful ceremony for us. We could not be happier with Rev. David & Rev. Gary. From the initial planning to the rehearsal to the ceremony itself, it was perfect. I would highly recommend them.

Wave rock, Western Australia
This is a granite formation, which looks like a giant wave that is about to crash down into the Western Australia outback. Its multi-coloured shape rises around 15 metres and stretches for 110 metres. It is some way inland from Perth near the town of Hyden. There are several wave formations in the area, moulded during millennia of erosion.

Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week 2011 is being held on the Isle of Wight between 6th and 13th August.
A galaxy of stars take to the water - Artemis Challenge 2011
The fifth edition of the Artemis Challenge is set to continue the tradition of attracting big name stars as Ewan McGregor, Zara Phillips and Natalie Pinkham take to the water in 2011. The Artemis Challenge, a high adrenaline 50 mile race around the Isle of Wight to claim a £10,000 charity prize fund, will take place on Wednesday August 10th in the middle of Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week, the world's largest sailing regatta and one of the UK's biggest sporting events.
Hollywood A-lister Ewan McGregor, who will join British round-the-world skipper Alex Thomson onboard Hugo Boss, said, 'I'm excited to experience the thrill of yacht racing from the very deck of the boat and I'll be doing my best to help Alex win so that we can donate the prize money to UNICEF's East Africa Appeal. There's never been a more important time to support the children of the region who so desperately need our help.'
Zara Phillips, former world champion equestrienne, will be racing her third Artemis Challenge on Artemis Ocean Racing, skippered this year by record-breaking yachtswoman Dee Caffari. TV and radio presenter Natalie Pinkham will sail with Zara and Dee, racing to support Toe in the Water, a non-profit organisation which uses sailing as a vehicle to re-inspire injured servicemen and women, all of whom have been profoundly wounded, some sustaining loss of limb/s and who are currently being treated at Headley Court, the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre.
Dee Caffari said, 'It is great to be back on the helm of Artemis Ocean Racing to try to win £10,000 for Toe in the Water. The Artemis Challenge is a great spectacle for the IMOCA 60 yachts and with Zara and Natalie onboard I'm sure we will make a great team.'
The Artemis Challenge, sponsored by Artemis investment Management, one of the UK's leading investment companies and the largest British sponsor in offshore sailing, is recognised as one of the key events of Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week and is a magnificent spectacle, showcasing the best of offshore racing within easy reach of spectators.
The start line this year already features a world class line up of five latest generation IMOCA 60s, the same racing machines that compete in the legendary non-stop round the world Vendée Globe solo race, and the Artemis Challenge is the only UK-based IMOCA event.
The race follows the classic America's Cup route around the Isle of Wight, starting at 10 AM on the Royal Yacht Squadron Line. The winner will be the IMOCA 60 that takes line honours after completing the 50 mile sprint back to the Royal Yacht Squadron Line (weather permitting), winning £10,000 for the charity of choice of the skipper.

Ashley Tisdale Flashes Sideboob, Goes Pants-less for Maxim
Make no mistake: Ashley Tisdale is a Disney teen no more. To prove that point, the former High School Musical star, 27, poses in next to nothing in the May issue of Maxim: Going topless on the cover (barely covered up by a black leather jacket and wearing frilly panties) and, inside, flashing a jaw-dropping amount of sideboob in a low-cut white shirt (and no bottoms).
Inside, as Tisdale promotes Scary Movie 5, she talks about her taste in men. "There's definitely a thing where I like the dark, mysterious bad boy," says the blonde, currently dating Christopher French. Another type she loves? "Surfer, blond frat guys," says Tisdale, whose exes include another musician, Jared Murillo, and director Scott Speer.
"I'm definitely old-school when it comes to dating," she shared. "I'm not into the 'game' so much." Her advice to potential suitors: "If I like you, I'll confront you and be open about it. Then I expect you to come after me."
Tisdale, who's still close with HSM pal Vanessa Hudgens and other young Hollywood stars, also shares her own romantic wisdom with friends. "I give dating advice on a regular basis. It's not that I'm any expert, but it's always nice to share that with your friends."

Memory Of Love (edition 2010)
by Aminatta Forna
Work details
The Memory of Love by Aminatta Forna
Forna takes readers Sierra Leone, a country attempting to recover after a civil war. Through the eyes of three men, we gradually come to understand that impact that the war had on individuals, families, and the country. Elias Cole, a University professor carries secrets with him from the civil war, secrets that he will reveal to Adrian, a British psychiatrist who has come to Sierra Leone to escape a failing marriage. Adrian also comes to know a surgeon who survived the civil war, Kai. The story unfolds through these three voices. Through most of the book, the war isn't discussed directly, but its effects are everywhere, and gradually Forna reveals the horrors that came with the war and the different ways that individuals coped.
Beautifully written. Although the audio was well done, at times, I thought it would be better to have read the book so that I could appreciate the language.
People think that war is the worst this country has ever seen; they have no idea what peace is like. The courage it takes simply to endure.
British psychologist Adrian Lockheart has accepted a one-year appointment in Sierra Leone, thinking he can make a difference in this country recovering from a brutal civil war. Initially he has only two patients at the hospital – a woman, Agnes, and a dying man, Elias Cole. Cole doesn't want to talk about the recent war, but about the woman he loved 30 years ago and how his desire for her affected his life. Adrian forms a friendship with a young surgeon, Kai, despite Kai's skepticism that Adrian can accomplish anything there. Adrian doesn't know what it's like to live there and to have lived through the war. How could Adrian hope to understand the survivors, and what does he think he can offer them? Adrian is persistent and he gradually finds a place to use his skills. As Elias, Kai, and others tell Adrian parts of their stories, the pieces begin to take shape in an unexpected way.
This book required more effort to read than I was expecting. It is more complex than Forna's earlier novel, Ancestor Stones. It was worth the effort. Although the story is told from multiple perspectives, I experienced it mainly from Adrian's perspective – an outsider who gradually made sense of the unfamiliar surroundings until it began to feel like home. However, Kai was the character I was most drawn to. Although Adrian believed he could help individuals cope with the psychological trauma left from the war, his motive for being there wasn't exactly altruistic. He was looking for excitement that was missing from his life at home. He could leave any time he wanted to. Kai was born there and could not easily leave.
This is the first book I've read that focuses on mental health issues in developing countries. Adrian's goal is to reintegrate the psychologically wounded into normal society, but he has no idea what normal means in this place and time. Adrian isn't able to help anyone until he adjusts his expectations. As challenging as provision of and access to mental health care can be in the developed world, the challenges are even greater in a developing country just emerging from a decade of civil war. Psychiatric referrals don't seem to be a consideration for hospital staff.
Kai has never once treated a would-be suicide. War had the effect of encouraging people to try to stay alive. Poverty, too. Survival was simply too hard-won to be given up lightly.
Recommended, particularly for readers preparing for careers in relief and international development.
This story is set set in Serra Leone, a country in Western Africa, which is plagued by military coups and civil war. It's is story of three men, two citizens of Serra Leone and one British. These men are intellectuals a professor, a doctor and a psychologist. Each of them had their lives directly or indirectly influenced by the wars and each is trying to deal with it. Each of these men experience love and disappointment.
The language is beautiful and the narrative is very picturesque. The author captures emotions and situations well. The stories go in circles but you are not in this for the story, you are here for the feel of the place and the people. After all this is literary fiction.
A powerful novel about friendship, betrayal, and love in the violence of post-colonial Sierra Leone. One of the best novels I have read this year.
Aminatta Forma is the daughter of a Scottish mother and a father from Sierra Leone. She grew up in the African country where her father was a physician and opposition political leader. When she was ten, he was taken from their home and executed as a traitor. As an adult she returned to the country and wrote about him and her own experiences trying to learn more about his death. Her personal understanding of life in a fragile post-colonial nation grounds this novel.
Read more on my blog, Me, you and books: http://wp.me/p24OK2-Tx
I just couldn't get into the story or the characters. I think part of the reason was the clogging sensory detail. Often you don't have enough--I've even heard an editor say that density of sensory detail is what separates the amateur from the professional, and such details can ground you in a story, and its setting--in this case post-Civil War Sierra Leone. But it seemed as if Forna had to walk us through the day of her characters in excruciating detail, burying us in minutia like this:
Adrian pours Kai a tumbler of whisky. They open with the best of three. Kai wins easily and challenges Adrian again. Adrain, who has watched Kai's strategy closely, has worked out a thing or two, takes the fifth game and sixth as well. They play double colours. Blue and green: Kai. Red and yellow: Adrian. Adrian mixes the whisky with water to stretch it. Kai plays intensely. Adrian is grateful for the company. In the kitchen he finds a packet of chocolate cookies. The cookies are soft and dusty. The chocolate has melted, seeped into the stratum and hardened. They eat the cookies in place of supper, washing the taste away with whisky.
The effect of the details, the jumps in point of views, even that much of it is told in the self-consciously literary present tense, I think all helped in distancing me from the characters and their emotions. And I didn't feel very grounded in the characters, was unsure even after 100 pages who or what was the focus of the novel. I couldn't even get a fix about whether Elias Cole was a native African or expatriot European. Both him and Adrian, who dominate the first 100 pages, felt flat to me. The narrative line up to then felt so meandering, so blah, such a slog to read--and the book is a fat 473 pages. I've read reviews that claim it picks up enormously in the second half--the problem is it lost me long before that.
Farlig aktuell roman fra Sierra Leone
Om lidenskap, besettelse og borgerkrig.
Forna's characters weave in and out of each other's lives, often with entirely unforeseeable and shocking consequences. They are so well drawn, and so universally authentic, that each time the narrative view switches from one to the other one almost longs for a convenient twodimensional caricature as light relief from possession. With whom can the reader most easily identify? Adrian, the English ingénu? Kai, the heroic surgeon who cannot see the green grass in the other field? Cole, the sell-out? Or Agnes — whose mind has quite rightly opted to walk rather than think about what she must endure?
Forna's intense research into surgery and psychiatry is as lightly worn as her ability to hide her own craft as a writer...Let us hope that it takes its place where it deserves to be: not at the top of the pile of "African Literature" but outside any category altogether — and at the top of award shortlists
This is an ambitious project. Forna has written before about the power of storytelling to talk our lives into different shapes. Here she moves deftly between the enchantments of different narratives: the therapeutic, the confessional, the traumatic – flashbacks, nightmares, hauntings, fugue states where stories are lost or distorted beyond recognition and the sweetly joyous themes of new love, renewal, springing hope, second chances..... Forna understands that it is only by making patterns out of chaos that humans find the courage to continue living. And in this affecting, passionate and intelligent novel about the redemptive power of love and storytelling, she shows how it is done.
Forna's book is set in the city at almost exactly that time – not long after the end of one of the bloodiest civil wars in modern African history – and she captures exactly the sense of numbed brutalisation that I saw first-hand in many places: in the eyes of former child soldiers who had been forced to mutilate and murder their parents, in the camps full of young girls raped and enslaved by the rebel forces, and abandoned by their families because of the "shame". I remember all too vividly trying to collect the horror stories that were those lives and the absolute inadequacy of my questions: "How did it feel…?" We like to talk about conflict resolution, and truth and reconciliation, in the context of such nationwide atrocity (the particular gruesome speciality of the war in Sierra Leone was the systematic amputation of limbs; queues were formed in front of drugged young men with machetes. But how do you really go about healing that kind of pain?
That is one of the questions that Forna approaches with the utmost caution in an ambitious and deeply researched novel – and the answers she finds are never easy.

Adrian Lockheart is a psychologist escaping his life in England. Arriving in Freetown in the wake of civil war, he struggles with the intensity of the heat, dirt and dust, and with the secrets this country hides. Despite the gulf of experience and understanding between them, Adrian finds unexpected friendship in a young surgeon at the hospital, the charismatic Kai Mansaray, and begins to build a new life. In the hospital Adrian encounters an elderly man, Elias Cole, who is reflecting on his past, not all of it noble. Recorded in a series of notebooks are memories of his youth, the optimism of the first moon landings, and the details of an obsession: Saffia, a woman he loved, and Julius, her fiery, rebellious husband. As their individual stories entwine across two generations in a country torn apart by repression and war, some distances cannot be bridged. It is the story of four lives colliding; a story about friendship, about understanding, absolution and the indelible effects of the past; about journeys and dreams and loss, and about the very nature of love.… (more)

Infor Announces Acquisition of PeopleAnswers
Big Data to Drive Advanced Human Capital Management in the Cloud
NEW YORK - Jan 08, 2014
Infor, a leading provider of business application software serving more than 70,000 customers, today announced the acquisition of PeopleAnswers, a leader in predictive talent analytics.
PeopleAnswers' cloud-based talent science platform adds analytical rigor to human capital management. Developed by a team of PhDs in behavioral science, this unique cloud service analyzes 39 behavioral traits for job candidates and produces a fit rating. Companies like Audi, Foot Locker, Gold's Gym, Hertz, Inova Health System, Neiman Marcus, and The Cheesecake Factory can measure significantly reduced turnover, improved customer service, and increased revenue by qualifying applicants more thoroughly and analytically as a result of PeopleAnswers.
According to research, 46 percent of new hires are bad hires and 89 percent of them fail because of attitudinal reasons1. Skills are not predictive of positive outcome for a new hire.
PeopleAnswers scientists invested in big data for over a decade and the data proved that 39 other attributes were more predictive of a new employee's performance. Those attributes include ambition, discipline, energy, acceptance of authority, attention to detail, flexibility, conscientiousness, and empathy. PeopleAnswers administers statistically significant and consistent online interviews to 20 million applicants annually across multiple industries, job roles, and geographies that measure the 39 performance attributes and create DNA profiles. Those attributes are weighted differently by job role and completely derived from the data.
The acquisition of PeopleAnswers will make the Infor HCM suite, already recognized as a leader, one of the first HCM suites to deliver a real-world use case for big data that impacts results that can be measured. Stores at a large retailer, for example, had 30 percent higher sales and lower turnover in the stores that used PeopleAnswers versus the stores that did not. That retailer is now standardizing on PeopleAnswers and centralizing the hiring process. PeopleAnswers' unique approach uses behavioral science to achieve results in the traditionally "soft" space of HR, tying performance metrics to key behaviors of top employees using Performance Profiles™ and Behavioral DNA™ to enable companies to hire, reward, and promote their best performers.
"Evaluating talent is one of the most important decisions for a manager, but these decisions are hindered by uncertainty and a lack of data. PeopleAnswers has pioneered the concept of HCM big data and behavioral science that delivers a patented, cloud-based product available in 16 languages that has become the gold standard for hiring best practices," said Charles Phillips, CEO of Infor. "Through this acquisition, we will not only expand our HR offering, but we will add a cadre of scientists to move beyond simply automating processes to push the envelope on big data and HCM innovation."
"PeopleAnswers and Infor have helped shape Inova's world-class human resources organization," said Angie Mannino, SVP, Human Resources, Inova Health System. "The combination of both companies, with their innovative approach to human capital management, will make information sharing and interfacing faster and simpler, positioning us for even greater success in the future."
PeopleAnswers is experiencing strong annual growth (3-year compound annual growth rate of 32 percent) and has grown for 41 consecutive quarters. According to IDC Research, the global HCM market is expected to grow 8 percent annually, hitting $13.5 billion in 2017 as companies seek to replace legacy HR systems with the latest technology2.
Financial terms of the deal are not being disclosed.

On Nov. 4, 2010, PeaceHealth Medical Group otolaryngologist Abraham Sorom, MD, performed the first robotic-assisted throat cancer procedure in Oregon, outside of Portland. Transoral robotic surgery, or TORS, a minimally invasive, endoscopic approach to throat and neck surgery, was approved in December 2009 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for removal of tumors of the throat, tongue base, larynx and thyroid. Dr. Sorom and his colleague, Dennis Diaz, MD, were the fourth and fifth otolaryngologists in Oregon to be trained in the use of the da Vinci Si Surgical System to perform such procedures.
About 45,000 Americans are diagnosed each year with head and neck cancers. Treatment often involves a combination of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Because tongue-base and throat tumors are difficult to reach through the mouth with conventional surgical instruments, the most common approach has been to remove them through external incisions. This approach can require an almost ear-to-ear incision across the throat or splitting of the jaw, resulting in disfigurement and speech and swallowing difficulties for patients. The minimally invasive TORS approach accesses the surgical site through the mouth and has been shown to improve long-term swallowing function and reduce risk of infection while accelerating recovery time.
Da Vinci manufactured a line of smaller instruments specifically for use in the throat. The system optics, 3D visualization and binocular view with depth perception are a vast improvement over the headlamp and hand tools surgeons used before, Dr. Diaz said. "There has never been a great way to access the throat and tongue without serious incisions," he said. "The only way to magnify was to lean in closer. Now we can see exactly what we're operating on."
Not everyone is a candidate for TORS. Tumor size, stage and location, as well as patient anatomy, help determine eligibility. The approach has significant benefits over traditional surgery, including less trauma to the body, reduced blood loss, less post-operative pain and discomfort, reduced infection, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and less scarring. The technique is currently undergoing clinical trials for use in reducing tongue-base mass for treatment of sleep apnea.

They were very accommodating. The tour guide was pleasantly funny! It makes the trip enjoyable.
A perfect way to see the sights from all perspectives definitely not to be missed
Great tour. Thoroughly enjoyed it..
Janice B
United Kingdom
Really enjoyable day. Good to see Singapore from the Flyer and from the water. Food trail wasa good standard too. Staff at Flyer information office extremely helpful. Thankyou.
Loved this tour and well worth the money.
Wonderful views of Singapore from the Flyer. The Duck is a funny experience offering site-seeing from the water.
It is a perfect way to see around the city centre, really cheap and truly entertaining
Really enjoyed this tour, good value for money. Flyer excellent for picture taking. The Doctor Fish at the Fish (foot) Spa at the Flyer Terminal a must to do also.
Mark K.
I can really advise everybody to take this offer. (It was 30$ when I booked..., so look for the chances!)
Due to the F1 construction zones were still on, the Company changed - on its own - the Duck Tour, without a word to a River and Coastal Boat Tour which was more than generous. They also prepared a schedule, served with a map, etc.
Food trail before and after the Flyer was also a 'delicate', can recommend the Chinese stalls.
Great experience, overall.
First class all round
very nice expierience,,,we are very happy...
very good when we gone to the river. we can take many representative photo of Singapore
The tour was really well organised we were picked up from the hotel and taken to the start. the ride on the duck was fun my children loved it, the ride on the flyer went well very little time standing in a queue. The food trail was interesting. A goood time had by all.
Carol H
After a long flight and a few hours sleep this tour was great a relaxing trip on the river via the DUCK and followed by the Singapore Flyer, we believe this is really worth doing relaxing with breathtaking scenery. The food Trail voucher allowed us to experience some great local food!!! I would repeat this tour again!
Excellent tour of city- good commentary. Flyer - very good- great views. Meal voucher good value.
Loved this tour, Duck Tour was a lot of fun, really enjoyed the Singapore Flyer, even higher than the London Eye (OMG). A must to see the city from above.
This was a very good tour worth doing and good value for money!
This was a very good pass as it allowed us to do three things during the day. Your staff was very helpful into advising us to do the duck tour first and then the Fleyer as it was about 10.30 in the morning and it was reasonably quiet. The duck tour was only ten minutes wait and then when we went to the flyer there was hardly anybody and we had a car for the four in the group.
Terence C
Very interesting and varied tour
What an exciting tour..highly recommended..LUVET..
Great way to see the city!
The duck tour allowed us to see views from on land and on water. It added an extram dimension.
The flyer was fantastic. The views were spectacular and we could choose when we wanted to go.
All in all - the Singapore City Pass was well worth it!
Enjoyed this tour as you can enjoy it at your leisure without any set times
Good value for money and the hotel pick up was great.
Had a great time and the Duck tour took you through the streets of Singapore. The flyer was awesome and gives you beautiful views of a great city.
We enjoyed this tour and was worth the cost.

Within the wide spectrum of opinions on Hedi Slimane's work at Saint Laurent (many fashion critics, including the NYT's Cathy Horyn, have said some harsh things, but Courtney Love and Kate Moss are big supporters), it seems that Lena Dunham is a fan. The Girls writer/director/actress choose a gold halter dress from Slimane's Fall 2013 collection for her appearance at the Time 100 Gala in New York City yesterday, which she paired with black T-strap pumps by the same brand.
Given her own predilection for causing controversy, it's no big surprise that the star has decided to align herself with such a polarizing designer. Just the look alone leaves plenty of room for debate: while the color is very pretty and the halter nicely highlights her shoulder tattoo, we're not entirely sure if a plunging neckline and full skirt is the best cut for her. Then again, we've got to applaud Dunham for taking a risk, both in her choice of style and label. After all, isn't that what makes red carpet-watching fun?
How do you feel about Lena's Saint Laurent dress?

Dynamic Aspects of Family Transfers
Each year parents transfer a great deal of money to their adult children. While intuition might suggest that these transfers are altruistic and made out of concern for the well-being of the children, empirical tests of the model have consistently yielded negative results. However, an important limitation in these sorts of studies and of our understanding of transfers in general has stemmed our inability to observe transfers over time. Estimates of patterns in a single cross section necessarily miss important aspects of behavior. In this paper I expand on the static altruistic model and posit a dynamic model in which parents use current observations on the incomes of their children to update their expectations regarding future incomes and desired future transfers. I then draw on data spanning a 17 year period to examine the dynamic aspects of transfer behavior. I find substantial change across periods in recipiency, large differences across children within the family, and a strong negative correlation between inter vivos transfers and the transitory incomes of the recipients. This evidence suggests that dynamic models can provide insights into transfer behavior that are impossible to obtain in a static context.

Buffalo, NY (Sports Network) - Jay Harrison scored the deciding goal with 4:50 remaining in the third period as the Carolina Panthers completed a home-and- home sweep of the Buffalo Sabres with a 3-1 decision at First Niagara Center.
Alexander Semin and Jeff Skinner also tallied in the final session for the Hurricanes, while Dan Ellis stopped 40 shots in a sharp first start of the season to help Carolina build off Thursday's 6-3 win over the Sabres.
"The last two games we've really come into our own in terms of playing our system, and I think adding that element of grit to our game has really helped us," said Ellis. "It showed tonight."
Ryan Miller made 39 saves for Buffalo, which began the 2012-13 campaign with victories over Philadelphia and Toronto before last night's defeat in Raleigh. Thomas Vanek recorded the Sabres' lone goal of the evening.
With the contest tied at 1-1, Carolina's Eric Staal won a faceoff and worked the puck back to Harrison, whose shot from the right point got past a screened Miller to give the Hurricanes their first lead of the night.
Ellis would make it stand with five saves over the last four minutes, including a tough re-direction attempt from Jason Pominville down the stretch.
Vanek was called for a cross-check just seconds afterward, and the penalty all but sealed the Sabres' fate. Buffalo head coach Lindy Ruff pulled Miller with his team shorthanded, and Skinner sealed the win by taking a pass from Tim Gleason and rushing up the left side for an empty-net score with 26 seconds on the clock.
"You want to win these [close] games, or at least send them to overtime," said Miller afterward. "I needed to make one more save."
After a scoreless first two periods in which both Miller and Ellis were on their games, the Sabres capitalized on a power play early in the third to finally break the stalemate.
With Carolina's Jordan Staal in the box for a tripping call, Vanek corralled a puck that was sent into the boards from Pominville, fended off a check from Joni Pitkanen and fired a wrister from the left circle by Ellis 1:56 into the final stanza.
The Hurricanes responded quickly, however, when Semin skated into the center and rocketed a shot over Miller's left shoulder at the 3:31 mark of the period for the offseason pickup's first goal in a Carolina uniform.
Miller turned aside 14 shots in the first period, while Ellis made 18 saves in the second to match his counterpart and keep the game scoreless.
Carolina had the best scoring opportunity of the opening frame after Vanek was assessed a unsportsmanlike conduct double minor with under 3 1/2 minutes remaining. However, the advantage was quickly negated when Skinner was whistled for a high stick just 29 seconds afterward.
Skinner netted two goals in Thursday's win and now has four over Carolina's
first four outings of the season ... After going just 1-for-15 on the power
play through the opening three games, the Hurricanes struck twice in five
chances with the man advantage ... Vanek has posted nine points (3 goals, 6
assists) in Buffalo's first four tests and has been on the ice for all 10 of
the team's goals this season ... Carolina was outshot for the first time in 11
periods after the Sabres finished the second with an 18-10 edge.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.
