Data visualization is increasingly an essential element of business intelligence (BI). No longer restricted to specialized applications, data visualization in the form of charts, maps, and other graphical representations is enabling business users to better understand data and use it to achieve tactical and strategic objectives. Moreover, data visualization is prompting a cultural shift toward more analytic, data-driven business and operations by empowering users to explore, in a graphically inviting medium, data that was previously available only in tabular reports.
This TDWI Best Practices Report, which is based on a Web survey of BI professionals and interviews with BI practitioners and experts, finds that data visualization is in the middle of a remarkable growth phase. It also reveals that data visualization contributes impressively to improvements in business user insight and productivity, as well as usage of dashboards (the preferred medium for data visualization). For instance, 74% of our survey respondents credit data visualization for a "very high" or "high" increase in business user insights.
But data visualization is never a plug-and-play solution, and one size does not fit all. Dashboard design and usage can and should vary by types of users (for example, executives versus front-line staff), purpose (strategic, tactical, operational), and industry and organizational culture (a healthcare organization versus a clothing manufacturer). Customization collaboration, and iteration are required for organizations to operate interactive visual reporting and analysis solutions that deliver maximum benefits.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
Both workers and employers are expected to benefit from a new rule issued today by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) on steps to abate workplace hazards.
The new rule, which is expected to save employers $6 million a year, requires businesses to notify OSHA and inform employees that they have abated workplace hazards identified by inspectors.
According to Gregory R. Watchman, acting assistant secretary of labor for occupational safety and health, the new regulation will ensure that workers are fully informed about serious hazards and actions taken to eliminate them. He said OSHA also expects to save on resources it now expends to verify hazard abatement.
The new rule eliminates burdens that current verification procedures impose on employers. Where employers eliminate hazards during the course of an inspection, OSHA will not require them to prepare and submit abatement certification documents in these cases. Employers also will not have to document actions taken to correct relatively minor ("other-than-serious") violations as well as many violations classified as "serious."
"Employees will benefit in two ways," Watchman said. "They will know about specific actions being taken to abate the more serious hazards. They also will be warned about citations issued for more serious violations involving movable equipment. This is important information for working with tools and machines identified as hazardous."
In addition to money saved by business, OSHA and its state partners will save an estimated $4.5 million annually as a result of reductions in follow-up inspections and other activity by enforcement staff to ascertain whether hazards have been repaired or eliminated.
In May 1991, the General Accounting Office (GAO) issued a report to Congress in which it said that OSHA's policies and procedures for determining whether hazards were abated had certain limitations. GAO said that the policies and procedures impeded the agency's identification of employers who had failed to abate the safety and health hazards for which they were cited. GAO recommended that OSHA issue a regulation to correct this deficiency and that this regulation emphasize the abatement of serious violations.
The new regulation will apply to all cited employers with workplaces covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Act, including general industry, construction, maritime and agricultural employers.
Nine of the 25 states and territories with their own occupational safety and health plans already have some elements of the new abatement verification rule in place. State-plan states will have six months to adopt enforceable rules or policies comparable to OSHA's new regulation. These states and territories include: Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Virgin Islands, Washington and Wyoming. Connecticut and New York, whose plans cover public employees only, also must adopt comparable regulations.
The effective date of the regulation is May 30, 1997.
OSHA plans an extensive outreach program to inform employers and workers about the regulation. It will include distribution of materials through the OSHA Home Page on the World Wide Web on the Internet, the OSHA Publications Office, and regional, area and state-plan offices, as well as presentations to employer and employee groups.
Notice of the final rule will be published in the Monday, March 31, 1997, Federal Register. The regulation also will be available on the OSHA Home Page on the World Wide Web on the Internet at http://www.osha.gov./.
(Editors: Key provisions of the new rule are outlined in the attached fact sheet.)
Under the final regulation:
Violations that are immediately abated require no abatement certification.
For other-than-serious violations, and for many serious violations, only a simple abatement letter is required to verify abatement. A sample format for this letter is provided in an appendix. OSHA estimates that 90 percent of all abatements will require only this simple letter.
Employers are required to provide additional documentation (proof) of abatement only for the more serious violations (willful, repeat, and those serious violations specified by OSHA in the citation).
Abatement plans and progress reports may be required for more serious violations with abatement periods that exceed 90 days.
Affected employees must be informed about specific abatement activities.
For movable equipment that have serious hazards, a copy of the citation or a warning tag, containing information that conforms with a sample tag supplied by OSHA, must be placed on the cited equipment to alert employees to the presence of the hazard. For hand-held equipment, the tag must be applied upon receipt of the citation. For nonhand-held equipment, the tag must be applied before the equipment is moved.
The regulation provides examples of abatement documents and warning tags.

Making food fun for kids can prevent childhood obesity.
The right nutrition can prevent childhood obesity, and promote healthy growth. It all starts in your kitchen at home. WDBJ7's Alison Parker joins us live to show us some fun, nutritious snacks for your kids to eat. Apples dipped in peanut butter were my go-to snacks as a child. And it was a lot healthier than caramel. I'm here with Martha Ross, dietician at Carilion. You have a recipe that's going to catch a child's attention? We hear a lot of conflicting facts -- breakfast, lunch and dinner should be the only meals of the day; or it's better to eat more frequently throughout the day but smaller portions. What is the best system for children? Martha's ideas for healthy snacks: Some simple and fun ways to do snacks: free grapes or banana slices. Use some prepackage fruits or the new fruit squeeze packages. Use the ice cream cone with a paper or silicone muffin liner and add fresh fruit instead of ice cream. Another good use for the muffin liner is to give portion control to snacks. They hold about 4 oz which is the size of a snack of gold fish, low fat cheese crackers and fruit. Use 3-4 crackers with low fat cheese. Kids love to cut the cheese in to shape with small cookie cutters. Slice a banana long way fill with peanut butter or other nut butter. Then cut into coin shape. Slice and apple and fill with peanut butter, raisins and cinnamon. The one i really loved was to core the apple the cut into a spiral and fill the center with a nut butter. i love doing a picnic lunch using an empty egg container with leftover plastic Easter eggs and fill them with the food items of the meal. Don't forget using humus with bagel chips or baked chips. Hummus comes in so many different flavors. Another image i liked was the rice cake with green cream cheese (i suggest fat free Greek with food coloring and or some powder ranch flavoring) then top with the gold fish. Fruit on a stick or fruit, vegetables and cheese on a stick instead of popsicles. The sandwich bag with decorated clothes pins to look like butterflies. Can be all chip like snacks or half chips and 12 fruit. Once the pin clips are made they are reusable. Edamame (Soy pods) cooked Low fat, low sugar, high fiber muffin. Small handful of nuts Gelatin cubes Bake some fresh peaches and blueberries with cinnamon in microwave. Use a little honey if you need it a little sweeter. Cut a watermelon into a unique shape and use as a serving bowl. Salsa with low fat chips Yogurt parfait using yogurt, fresh fruit and a little granola.

Our family vehicle was totaled by another driver. We are now unexpectedly in the car buying market. We had not planned on having to quickly buy a car...missed the year end deals. We are a family of 6 so we are looking at the Sienna. Our former family car was a suburban so that is also an option....

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

"Cottage cheese is the surprising base for the wonderfully creamy sauce that coats the pasta and veggies in this side dish," notes Barbara Toher of Lexington, Kentucky. "My husband, who doesn't like to compromise good taste for low-fat foods, didn't even realize this dish was lower in fat."

- 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 5 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cups cauliflowerets
- 4 ounces uncooked angel hair pasta
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, milk, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, salt and cayenne; cover and process until smooth. Set aside.
- 2. In a saucepan, bring 1 in. of water to a boil; place broccoli and cauliflower in a steamer basket over water. Cover and steam for 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
- 3. In a large nonstick skillet, saute garlic in oil for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms; saute 5 minutes longer. Stir in the broccoli, cauliflower, pasta and cottage cheese mixture; heat through. Yield: 8 servings.

The Babushka Grand HostelOdessa, Ukraine
Location is great. Staff are absolutely lovely. The interior must be seen to be believe - palacial! Must be by far the best choice in Odessa.
Olive Hostel KievKiev, Ukraine
Unfortunately this hostel has no place on hostelworld, it is NOT for international backpackers, it is exclusively for impoverished local Ukranian workers. I booked a private room on hostelworld but they had not noticed my booking and the room was not available - as they have no computer I am sure these errors happen constantly. The dorm bed I was given broke underneath me. No English is spoken by anyone at all. Not necessarily a bad place, though standards are low, but for locals, not for us.
Budget Hostel PrincessAmsterdam, Netherlands
Whilst I rarely give bad reviews and take a very permissive attitude of hostels as budget accommodation, I cannot pretend this hostel is anything other what what it is - dirty, expensive and uncomfortable. At 35 euros per night this is at the upper end of what I ever pay for hostels, yet at the lowest in terms of quality. the room was tiny with the beds very close together, broken metal bunks which made a horrendous noise, and the bathrooms were tiny, damaged and dirty. would write more but cant
The Warsaw HostelWarsaw, Poland
Excellent staff made this a very pleasant stay :)
Jimmy Jumps House/HostelVilnius, Lithuania
My second stay of this trip in this hostel, see my previous review for comments. Excellent.
The Monk's Bunk KaunasKaunas, Lithuania
I am a big fan of this hostel - location is perfect, staff are great, everything is clean and comfortable. Definitely the place to stay in Kaunas
Klaipeda HostelKlaipeda, Lithuania
A very good hostel. Location may seem a little out but you will find you can get to the centre very quickly when you become accustomed to the town.
Jimmy Jumps House/HostelVilnius, Lithuania
A very pleasant surprise! This is a fantastic hostel - great location, lovely staff, clean and comfortable. The breakfasts are original and social. There is no need to consider staying anywhere else in Vilnius - this place will suit every traveller type.
Riga HostelRiga, Latvia
Definitely my hostel of preference for visits to riga - the staff are lovely, the location is great and the hostel is clean, sleek and with good facilities.
U GranitsyNarva, Estonia
It is so nice to finally have a quality low cost accomodation option in Narva. Location is perfect.
Looming HostelTartu, Estonia
I am a big fan of this hostel - where other hostels pretentiously pretend to be ethical or eco friendly, this one is the genuine article, and yet remains entirely friendly and unpretentious. Fantastic staff, great facilities.
TerviseksTartu, Estonia
An excellent hostel achievement
Picasso's Corner Backpackers HostelMalaga, Spain
Riad Massine IIMarrakech, Morocco
This is a superb hostel. Location could not be better, staff and facilities are excellent. I would be very surprised if there is a better hostel in Marrakesh.
Annexe Kingz PlazaDakar, Senegal
DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOSTEL. I had to move my room due to two prostitutes being allowed to stay in my room and bothering me. The next morning they demanded I pay double for moving, they locked me in the reception with the two male workers trying to strong arm me into paying money I didnt know. I NEVER thought I would encounter a hostel where the staff themselves would attempt to mug me. You are given no key, the staff control who goes in and out, so you are at their mercy. DO NOT STAY HERE.
Riga HostelRiga, Latvia
Extremely good value for money with good staff and facilities. Only criticism would be that the downstairs door does not lock meaning at night the entrance way becomes a sleeping place for homeless people who stole my pack of cigarettes.
Looming HostelTartu, Estonia
Superb hostel, absolutely lovely staff, faultless.
TerviseksTartu, Estonia
You could not ask for more from a hostel.

Very pleasant hostel in an excellent location. Very large and practical communal space, good bar, mostely pleasant people. Only negative, I had no problems personally, but a couple of people told me of things going missing, so if you stay here look after your stuff carefully.
HQ VillaLima, Peru
An excellent hostel - clean, pleasant, staff friendly and helpful. Only negative, the showers are not very good.
Broadway Hotel n HostelNew York, USA
Rooms are definately above average in terms of cleanliness and comfort. Location is alright but it's still quite a long way from the major downtown locations. Staff were generally friendly and helpful, some more so than others. Lounge area was pleasant and of a good size. Bathrooms were a bit dirty but there were lots of them and they were large and always with hot water. Generally an above average hostel.

Hello, fellow gamers. Some people may know that theres a huge problem with the banning in black ops 1.
So I'm writeing down some tips and things you will need to know if you don't already.
To start things off, this is about black ops 1 and the banning problem and how to avoid getting banned.
Many people who have come to this site or even called or about to call Treyarch/Activision support, it is useless.
Theres is no way your getting unbanned! Thay will not see your point and help you, no matter how many times you say "sorry" or tell them how much money you spent. And the truth behind this is, thay can't.
The reasen behind this is simple. The way the mod is made is what gets you banned. Now what I mean by that is Treyarch/Activision are NOT the ones banning you, it is all the work of that mod.
Now I'll explain this to some who may not know what it is I'm talking about.
The "mod" is for say the blue and or green letters that shows on your screen after you watch a video in the theator lobby. So your thinking... well I'll just avoid videos that stand out and say things that revolve around infection lobbys and ect. Well thats wrong and that won't work, these mods are under almost anything. The title can even be "Wtf" tipical things you would see alot. Well once you watch one of these videos, your banned, and theres notheing you can do about it.
So now your probley wanndering.. If there so bad and people are getting banned for it, why are the developers not removeing the videos? well, theres not. And the truth is even if thay did people would still add more of them.
And now your thinking! "So what? thay will just removes them to" Well yes thay probley would. But what your not understanding is, that video is up long enough to get many people banned, one of them could even be you at some point.
This is my message to everyone.
Avoid theator lobby! Don't even go into it, load any videos, make any videos, just avoid it. Because once your banned... your banned.
If you would like to know more or talk to me feel free to message me on xbox! My gamertag is lMythicShadowl
Please comment and tell me if this was any help, thanks.
Thanks Mythic Shadow, I didn't know about this and I have been playing Black Ops for a couple of years now, although not very often, and I thought you only got banned for things like bad language and cheating. Today was the first time I have registered on this site, and I only did so because of problems with the C.O.D server preventing me from playing the game. Thanks again, Sycodaz

DEFINITION of 'Insurance Company Credit Rating '
The opinion of an independent agency regarding the financial strength of an insurance company. An insurance company's credit rating indicates its ability to pay policyholders' claims. It does not indicate how well the insurance company's securities are likely to perform for investors. In addition, an insurance company's credit rating is considered an opinion, not a fact, and ratings of the same insurance company can differ among rating agencies.
BREAKING DOWN 'Insurance Company Credit Rating '
There are four major insurance company rating agencies: Moody's, A.M. Best, Fitch and Standard & Poor's (the last two companies also provide corporate credit ratings for investors). Each agency has its own rating scale that doesn't necessarily equate to another company's rating scale, even when the ratings appear similar.
For example, A.M. Best's highest insurance company credit rating is A++, meaning superior, while Fitch's is AAA for exceptionally strong, Moody's is Aaa for highest quality, and Standard & Poor's is AAA for extremely strong. It is important not to confuse, for example, A.M. Best's second-best rating of A+ (for superior) with Fitch's fifth-best rating of A+ (for strong), or A.M. Best's C rating (for weak) with Moody's C (for lowest rated).
An entity that appears to be a single, major insurance company may actually be composed of several smaller insurance companies, each with its own insurance company credit rating. For example, MetLife, Inc., has a number of subsidiaries, including American Life Insurance Company, General American Life Insurance Company, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and New England Life Insurance Company. Moody's has rated American Life Insurance Company as A1, while it has rated the other three Aa3. What's more, these ratings differ from the company's corporate credit ratings, which have included, for example, Baa2 for MetLife, Inc. preferred stock and A3 for MetLife, Inc. senior unsecured debt, in April 2014.

Ratings for Dr. Terry L. Simpson
Not only is the staff absolutely unprofessional, disorganized, rude, and completely inept, my experience with Dr. Simpson was horrible as well. I don't even know where to start. After having surgery done with another surgeon I realized just how horrible my experience was with Dr. Simpson. Not only was his bedside manner terrible he left me in absolute agony for months following my surgery. Now knowing more about surgery I realize that he failed to take out the air used to expand my stomach during surgery. This caused me HORRIFIC pain and I couldn't lay down for several weeks and had mild issue even months after. My concerns were blown off. Now my lapband eroded into my stomach, I had to have it removed (by a much better surgeon) and the list of complications go on. I just had to have a ventral hernia repair because the lapband also eroded my abdominal wall. This is only the half of it. Literally thousands of dollars later and I have nothing to show for it. I'm completely devastated. What a disappointment this experience was. I would HIGHLY caution anyone from using this surgeon or from getting the procedure in general. Do your research. The doctor I see now told me he takes more bands out than he puts in.
First appointment the office moved and did not tell me. Dr Simpson did not place the band and was very condescending that I might have an idea as to the issue I was having with the band. He finally listened to me (3rd appointment) and ordered some tests STAT, but did not schedule a follow up or call me with the results. I called the office 2 weeks later and found out he was out of the office for 3 more weeks. Finally agreed the band had to come out. Took forever to get it scheduled (they blamed it on insurance issues, I spoke often with the insurance company, it wasn't only the insurance company but his office also). They had the choice of two places to schedule the surgery, and chose the one that was not contracted with the insurance. They called me a week before surgery to tell me I had to have blood work and an EKG, didn't get the script for 3 more days after I called again for it. He did the surgery, removed the band, no follow up instructions. Office called and wanted to see me the next day, I live an hour away and could not drive. Attitude of staff depended on the day. Person in charge of scheduling asked me not to speak to anyone else in the office regarding scheduling. Ended up in the ER a few days after surgery and Dr Simpson told the ER dr I was supposed to be on a clear liquid diet, he failed to mention this to me or my spouse. Surgery didn't magically make all the issues go away. Was assigned to another dr in the practice (Dr. Morales, I think. And, he was actually nice and competent). They did another test. I called to see what was next and was told if I had the results of that test there was no need to return to his office. I scheduled and appointment with the Mayo clinic (to find the rest of the issues). I called and faxed paperwork requesting my medical records be sent over. I confirmed they received the request, the Mayo clinic had me sign another request. 3 months later and the records still have not been received by the Mayo clinic. That is ok, they found the issue anyway. Dr Simpson was very condescending, he couldn't bother to look at my records before I walked in for each appoint to be familiar with me. Grateful to be done with his office.
I love Dr. Simpson and his staff! I was 14 years old when I received the lap band surgery and I am now post op 6 years. He has given me nothing but support and knowledge and I have never had any problems due to his information he made sure to share with me before he even operated on me. Every time I have had a complication (band being too full) he would make sure I was taken care of. It's all about the lifestyle you choose which a lot of people don't understand. His staff is normally helpful and sweet and they are very punctual about getting me back quick since I do live an hour and a half away. I'm very glad I chose him to be my doctor!
I had a horrible experience with this doctor. It's been several years and I still have issue with my band. Doctor has horrible bedside manner. Staff is the worst ever. Go somewhere else!
Dr. Terry L. Simpson's response
We are sorry to read that your experience with our practice did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, we are unable to identify you as a patient, as there is no name attached to this review. Nonetheless, we are concerned whenever we learn of a negative experience at our facilities. We care a great deal about our patients, and encourage communication with our office if problematic symptoms appear following lap band surgery. Dr. Simpson provides his personal email, and sometimes even his cell phone, so patients can contact him directly with their concerns. With that said, we are unable to address such concerns, if they are not reported to us. We invite you to contact our office if you have remaining concerns about your lap band. We are more than happy to explore solutions to any potential issues. Whatever you decide, we wish you the best.

I had surgery to remove lap band . after surgery spent two days in hospital then a follow up at doctor simpsons office. doctor seemed to be in a hurry no follow up instructions in regards what to eat. After leaving appointment went to front desk to ask what to eat staff told me to e-mail Dr Simson. after I got home I had complication from surgery and had to spend another 12 days in the hospital. and I received no follow calls from Dr Simpsons office to see how I was doing. the only calls I got was from the hospital.
Dr. Terry L. Simpson's response
We are very sorry to read about the complications you experienced following our lap band removal surgery. Please accept our well wishes, and hopes that your recovery proceeded smoothly. We are, however, surprised and troubled by your reported experience following the removal surgery - specifically that you were not provided with post-operative care instructions. Every one of our patients is counseled on the risks, benefits and likely outcomes of their recommended procedures. We educate our patients on what to expect following surgery, and what steps need to be followed to ensure a full and healthy recovery - this information includes dietary instructions. There are occasions when Dr. Simpson is not able to perform a lap band removal surgery for one of his patients (emergencies, distance from patient, etc). In these circumstances, Dr. Simpson discusses the patient's history with the surgeon scheduled to perform the procedure, and advises regarding any special circumstances. While Dr. Simpson remains available to answer any questions or concerns, the patient is considered under the care of the surgeon who performs the removal surgery. Any post-surgical instructions would be given by the performing surgeon and the facility where the surgery took place. If you have any remaining questions or concerns, please contact our office at your convenience. Our door is always open to our patients - especially those who may have concerns about their care.

I had my surgery with Dr Simpson and love him as a Dr. When I met with Greg for my consultation he didn't seem to be to happy to be meeting with me at the time. He was in a hurry to get the consult over like he was on a schedule to get get the meeting done and made me feel like I was only a number to him. No real eye contact. Would love to come in for follow-up but after reading on Facebook that the office has moved to Scottsdale that is a long commute for me to make with my tight schedule, kids and kids activities. It was hard enough driving to 19th and Maryland... But with the way I was treated by office staff no one has probably even noticed that I haven't been in for a visit.. Cause to the staff everyone is just a number.. No one does anything to reach out unless Doc tells them to reach out to those who may have fallen off the band wagon!!
Dr. Simpson and ALL of his staff are wonderful. Nice, polite, caring and always there to help me.
Dr. Simpson, Jamie (surgical assistance), and entire staff Irma & Greg, have made and continue to make my whole experience nothing but pleasant. They have not treated me like a number or just another weight loss patient but with the abundance of TLC from day 1. They make themselves available to me 24/7. Dr. Simpson has retuned all my phones, when I needed him after hours. All my questions and concerns are immediately addressed. I truly appreciate you all and will forever be grateful. Surgery Date 12/14/11
I came in for a new patient consultation recently I waited for awhile before being called up to check in, then was given a stack of paperwork to complete. Waited an additional 15 minutes before being called back. The staff was not polite the man that did my weigh in was unprofessional and then I was placed in another room where I continued to sit and wait to be seen. Another man came in and went over more paperwork with me, he didn't make a lot of eye contact with me while he was there. Then when he finished I waited an additional 10/15 minutes to see the Dr. No one told me that it would be such a long appointment. Was not pleased with the experience I had at Dr. Simpsons office.

Wall Painting Discovered in Giza Tomb
Wednesday, July 16, 2014
(Courtesy Maksim Lebedev)MOSCOW, RUSSIA—A painting has been discovered on the walls of the tomb of Perseneb, a priest and steward who had been buried to the east of the Great Pyramid of Giza during the fifth dynasty, sometime between 2450 and 2350 B.C. "Known since the nineteenth century, the [tomb] could hardly present any new principal features. Therefore, it was a real surprise to discover an Old Kingdom painting on the eastern wall of the central room," Maksim Lebedev of the Russian State University for the Humanities told Live Science. The painting had been covered with soot and dirt, and much of it has been damaged. Yet "none of the scenes has been lost completely. The remaining traces allow [for the] reconstruction [of] the whole composition," he said. The images reflect the deceased's high status, and depict boats sailing on the Nile River, agricultural scenes, and a man hunting marsh birds. There's also an image thought to represent Perseneb with his wife and his dog.

The Seven Chinese Brothers (Blue Ribbon Book) (edition 1992)
by Margaret Mahy, Mou-Sien Tseng (Illustrator)
Work details
The Seven Chinese Brothers by Margaret Mahy
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I did not like this book because I thought it was very difficult to follow as a reader. The seven different brothers all looked alike which made it hard to depict who was who through the illustrations and it was hard for the reader to know which brother had which power because they narrator didn't talk about the brother by name but rather by the number brother they were. I really liked how detailed the illustrations were of the different places in China as well of how detailed the brothers looked but that was the only good part of the book for me. It was hard for me to follow the plot with all the different events going on. If a child were to read this book I think it should be for a child in a higher grade since it is hard to follow along.
SUMMARY: Seven brothers with extraordinary powers try to overcome the tyrannical emperor ruling China.
REVIEW: This is a great take on a traditional fairy tale. It contains language and illustrations that are simple enough for children to understand. The illustrations are beautiful and do an effective job of adding to the text on the page. The main message of this book is that good always triumphs over evil. I believe that children will find this book a very interesting read.
The story in this book was good from start to finish. The brothers were all so clever and I believe any child would like how suspenseful the story line was. The illustrations were fantastic as well.
Summary: "The Seven Chinese Brothers" tells the story of seven brothers who each held a special power of his own. For example, one brother had the ability to hear a fly sneeze from a hundred miles away, while another brother had the ability to sit in fires without burning up. The first emperor of all China, Ch'in Sinh Huang, noticed one of the brothers possessed great strength and deemed him dangerous. The emperor tried vigorously to execute the brother, but was unsuccessful in every attempt. This is because each brother would take the place of each other during each execution, to use his strength to counteract the method being used to kill the brother. Finally, the one brother who's tears had the ability to spring rivers, cried, causing massive amounts of water to appear. This provided the brothers with fresh fish and wood to make a fire. After all, they were very hungry after their long week.
Review: I really enjoyed reading this Chinese folklore. While obviously fiction, there was a bigger message being presented in the story. The message that it is almost impossible to break the bond of family. While the emperor tried drowning, burning, and beheading the brothers, he was unsuccessful. This was due to each brother using his own power against the execution being put in place. A great read for any classroom!
I picked this book up because I remembered reading it from when I was younger. I remembered enjoying it very much and for this reason I chose to read it again. I think that this book would be very enjoyable for many students. This is because I believe that students would enjoy the magic or supernatural piece of the story that each brother has their own strength or superpower. I believe that younger readers would be interested in these characters for this reason. I also believe that the story is successful because it presents the trickery of the brothers and how they use their respective skills to save themselves and each other. There is suspense that would keep the readers engaged, but the conflict is resolved at the end because each brother utilizes his own skill. I believe that students will enjoy this book for the conflict and its resolution and also for the unity and teamwork of the seven brothers.

Hey, please don't comment on my old posts
It's kinda embrassing and I don't need people telling me bad stuff about it or correcting things in it cause I don't care for it anymore. I only come here to check amazing art or photography, not to see my feedback. I'm hardly active here and I don't get why people are just commenting and just doing whatever on posts that were like from..two years ago or so. Yes, I have improved and I do much better work now. I could start something new here but I'm just not feeling it.
Some of you may keep on commenting but I won't check no longer..
Not trying to be rude just hate the things I use to post.

Asus Shows Off Dual Socket 1366 Motherboard
Asus is shaking things up in the netbook world, but it hasn't forgotten about the enthusiast crowd.
During CeBIT Germany today, the Taiwanese computer giant showed off its newest motherboard. Dubbed the Z8NA-D6, this newest mainboard will allow for two LGA1366 processors to be used in the same system.
Asus also claims that at 12-inches by 9.6-inches, the Z8NA-D6 is the world's first dual socket ATX motherboard, which allows for it to be used in virtually any ATX computer case (note: Intel's Skulltrail is an Extended ATX mobo). The power connector is another point of interest. The 24+8 pin connection allows for both ATX and SSI power supplies to be used, the latter of which is traditionally used in servers.
The motherboard is based on Intel's 5500+ICH10R chipset, and can support all 1366 processors, including the upcoming Xeon 5500s. Supported memory includes up to 48 GB of RDIMM or 24 GB of UDIMM, with ECC support. The one shortcoming of this board is the lack of PCIe 2.0 x16 slots. With only one on the Z8NA-D6, you can forget about any sort of SLI or Crossfire setup. As for other expansion slots, the Z8NA-D6 comes with two PCIe x8 slots, one PIKE slot, and a PCIe x1 slot, which will likely be used for a soundcard. Like any other Asus mobo, expect this one to come with RAID software already included on the board.
The Z8NA-D6 may be the first dual socket 1366 motherboard spotted (no price or release date yet), but we doubt it's the last. 1366 Skulltrail, anybody?

0madmando , 7 March 2009 05:391366 Skulltrail? no thanks, might be fun for you "reviewers" to play with since you get it for free but i dont think many consumers bought the original so why would we want a 1366 version?
0LePhuronn , 7 March 2009 07:18I've wanted Nehalem-based Skulltrail since the original came out. Get a decent board out there and sign me up!
3D Studio, you shall never foil me again bwahahaaaa!
0LePhuronn , 7 March 2009 07:20Plus, that'll be something to really rub in the faces of the Mac crowd. OK, they got their new i7 Mac Pro but it seems Apple's gone short-sighted with it. A properly-done official Nehalem Skulltrail will rock something serious.
Just don't bother gaming on it, it's not a gaming rig.
0UNICOMPLEX , 7 March 2009 18:53Shame it couldnt do gaming, it would have been nice to see what bench marks it would have turned out, why dont they make a bigger version of the board with sli ? hmm it seem to me that companys are holding back a little.
0LePhuronn , 9 March 2009 05:58@UNICOMPLEX:
It's not that Skulltrail can't game, it's not intended primary as a gaming rig. However, specifically regarding the 1366 board in this article, I think it's very shortsighted that Asus hasn't allowed for SLI given that the new Quadros can be paired up now - having multi-chip systems with a pair of Quadro CXs in SLI would tear through all the media software I use.
Still, Asus won't be alone and somebody's made a dual socket 1366 board for the new Mac Pro so I expect we'll see more of them soon.
Whether it's official Skulltrail or simply a multi-CPU board that takes advantage of QPI between CPUs is probably irrelevant.

High Homocysteine
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Beginning in the late 1990s, medical researchers began to suspect that high levels of homocysteine (a substance produced when the body breaks down the amino acid methionine) may accelerate atherosclerosis , the primary cause of heart attacks , strokes , and intermittent claudication . During a brief period, it was widely proclaimed that homocysteine was an even more important risk factor for heart disease than cholesterol . However, it currently appears that reducing homocysteine provides minimal benefits, if any. Most of the supporting evidence for a homocysteine–atherosclerosis connection comes from observational studies that found an association between high levels of homocysteine and increased atherosclerosis. Observational studies, however, do not show cause and effect. It is quite possible that unknown underlying factors increase homocysteine levels and also accelerate atherosclerosis, rather than that high homocysteine causes accelerated atherosclerosis. Only intervention trials (studies where people are actually given a treatment) can show whether a treatment is effective. Several massive studies of this type were initiated in response to the observational data. The results of 5 such trials have now been reported, involving a total of more than 18,000 men and women. 20,23-25,49,50 In these studies, high doses of supplementary vitamin B 6 , vitamin B 12 , and folate were used to lower homocysteine levels. None of these studies found significant benefit for preventing stroke, heart attack, or heart-related death. A smaller study failed to find that these same homocysteine-lowering vitamins preserved mental function in people with loss of mental function caused by atherosclerosis in the brain. 26 Another study failed to find that lowering homocysteine with B-vitamins can improve mental function in seniors. 36 On one of the few positive notes, one substantial trial found that use of these homocysteine-lowering nutrients helped prevent restenosis (recurrent vessel clogging) after angioplasty. 27 Besides atherosclerosis, correlations have also been found between high homocysteine levels and numerous other diseases, including Alzheimer's disease , osteoporosis , complications of pregnancy , deep venous thrombosis , and pulmonary embolism. 3-9,28-30 Again, however, most of the supporting evidence for a connection comes from observational studies; the results of double-blind studies are less encouraging. For example, one very substantial double-blind, placebo-controlled study failed to find that reducing homocysteine levels can help prevent recurrent deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. 37 Data gathered in another study also failed to show benefit for preventing these two problems. 42 Four double studies failed to find benefit for Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. 26,47,48,51 In addition, double-blind studies of B vitamins for reducing osteoporosis risk have not yet produced convincing evidence of benefit. 44-46 On a positive note, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 728 Danish seniors with high homocysteine and relatively low folate intake found that use of folate supplements slowed the progression of age-related hearing loss. 39 Folate may also improve mental function in seniors with high homocysteine. 40 Another study found that in people who had already had a stroke and were partially paralyzed, supplementation with vitamin B 12 and folate reduced the risk of falls leading to hip fractures. 21 Participants were elderly Japanese with high levels of homocysteine and low levels of folate and B 12 . It is not clear how the treatment produced this benefit: it might have reduced the tendency for recurrent strokes, strengthened bones, improved balance, or produced benefit by some other means. Another study used blood tests to look at effects on bone, and failed to find that reducing homocysteine levels had any effect. 41 People with diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease ( Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis ) and those undergoing kidney dialysis may be at higher than normal risk for elevated homocysteine levels. A simple blood test can determine homocysteine levels. Both conventional and alternative practitioners use the natural substances described in the next section to treat elevated homocysteine.

Best New Play (2011)
Brothers Beckett
Alliance Theatre Lab has quietly garnered a reputation for showcasing rising local talent — not only actors but also playwrights. In a hilarious, irreverent, and sentimental look at family, friendship, and the abandoned challenges of growing up, Brothers Beckett furthered that trend. Written and starring New World School of the Arts graduate and Alliance Lab Theatre alumnus David Sirois, Brothers Beckett laced sharp banter with the dark and sardonic humor that recalls classic sitcoms such as Seinfeld and The Odd Couple. Kevin and Brad Beckett are brothers, roommates, and best pals. But when Yale grad Kevin decides to propose to his longtime, long-distance girlfriend, jobless slacker Brad's world gets turned upside down. Just before Kevin's girl arrives for a weeklong visit, Brad does everything possible to prevent his brother from moving out of their bachelor pad and upsetting the order of things. It's a simple plot with a familiar outcome, but the blend of wit and heart shows us a glimpse of a bright future for Sirois and Alliance Theatre.

Why not mention the fact that they can't refinance because they are so much underwater? So all of these refi considerations are just a fantasy in their heads. Predictably, once the rates reset they will stop paying and apply for Obama's mortgage modification. This will take a year or so, before they are denied. In the meantime, they will stop paying the mortgage altogether and become squatters. All of this is very predictable.
Exactly, Alternate. They went to CT., one of the few places that has escaped the big rundown to find a rare example of someone who is not underwater. It's nice to live where all the hedge fund and Stamford bank employees live.
The man's wife is an idiot. That's a whole other topic - how nesting wives caused this whole housing run up because they had to have their little suburban palace, now!
...and don't forget the kitchen and the backplash!
Yeah, and, whatever it was, it had to better than the sister in law's or Sally down the block.
King, you bring up an excellent point on nesting wives.
