- Fri, Oct 2, 2015, 1:13 AMHi Dan, we're implementing this plugin to use URKUND here at de Souza Institute, and I'm reversing the meaning of the "opt-out" link through the language strings, since we've asked for our documents to be exempted from analysis by other organizations by default.
The problem is I can't find one string to modify. When we click "Add new Discussion" in a Forum, it automatically adds the below text, just above the "Your new discussion topic" header:
"All files uploaded will be submitted to the plagiarism detection service URKUND,
If you wish to prevent your document from being used as a source for analysis outside this site by other organisations you can use the opt-out link provided after the report has been generated."
This looks to be the "plagiarism_urkund - studentdisclosuredefault" string, but even though I've modified it, it's not updating when I click add new discussion. I've saved the changes to the language pack and I've purged all caches. I know the overall language pack changes ARE taking effect, as I had also renamed "Opt-out" to "Opt-in" and that properly shows up.
- Fri, Oct 2, 2015, 1:15 AMFound the bug tracker on github also, I've added it as a potential issue there also.
- Fri, Oct 2, 2015, 3:55 AMHi Matthew, the lang pack stores the "default" setting created during install. It is expected that most organisations will want to change that text so it is configurable on the site-level admin page for urkund under admin > plugins > Plagiarism > Urkund - did you try changing it there?
- Fri, Oct 2, 2015, 4:36 AMMy bad, sorry about that, it works once I change it there. Thank you and have a great weekend!
- Fri, Oct 2, 2015, 4:37 AMGreat - you too!
- Mon, Nov 9, 2015, 7:37 PMHello.
I am testing the Urkund plugin (downloaded with git) with Moodle 2.8
All ok, but I have one question.
We need to disable to add studentes files to the Urkund global database by default. Only add by default to our institution
Is it possible?
- Tue, Nov 10, 2015, 5:48 AMHi Agustin,
You can ask URKUND to modify the settings on your account so that the files only get stored within your institution. By default URKUND presents an opt-out link to the student allowing them to request that their assignment is excluded from the central URKUND storage system. This link appears in the e-mail they are sent and beside the similarity score shown in Moodle. The latest version of the plugin allows you to hide the opt-out links from the end-user and you can ask URKUND to configure your account as required.
- Mon, Nov 30, 2015, 5:42 AMHi Dan,
Just wonder when you are planning to release 3.1.0? Is 3.0.0 (#96eb290) safe to use in production as I'm after Fix #36?
- Mon, Nov 30, 2015, 6:40 AMHey Tim, there are a lot of changes so I've been hoping a few people will help with some extended testing before I release it - University of Canberra and Howard Miller have already been doing some testing - I'd like to hear from anyone that is able to test group submissions well too.
- Fri, Dec 4, 2015, 5:03 AMHi Dan,
No worries, I'm assisting Uni of Canberra testing the latest version
- Sat, Jan 30, 2016, 2:50 PMHi Dan, at some point would it be possible to place the % score in a separate column in the grading table so it could be sorted to highlight papers that needed attention?
- Mon, Feb 1, 2016, 1:25 PMHi Mike - could be a challenge there, I don't believe there are any plugins that push multiple "grade" items into the gradebook. The similarity score is not designed as a "Grade" and is really supporting information that should be used when a teacher is grading - which is usually done on the activity modules own grading page. The only exception to this would be the forum activity but there are other pieces of development under way that could add a grading page to the forum activity in future - see MDL-31860 for more info on this. Although I understand having the information in the grade report might be useful, I'm not convinced that it is the right place to put this as it should not be used as a "grade"
- Mon, Feb 1, 2016, 3:47 PMthanks Dan, yes you might be right. I was thinking that it could perhaps be pushed to mod/assign/view.php gradingtable.php as an extra column in a similar way to the assignment feedback plugins. Perhaps thinking of the similarity score more as part of potential "feedback" rather than as a "grade"? anyway, just a thought after seeing an academic try to use it with a large class - many of the other columns are sortable in the table and he mentioned how much easier it would be to quickly scan for the submissions to have a further look at.
- Tue, Feb 2, 2016, 9:18 AMYes - I've thought about sorting before, unfortunately the way the assignment table is generated there isn't an easy way to influence the order based on plagiarism scores. Especially when a student submits more than one file which generates a report - it displays the assignments per-user rather than per-file. I guess we could write a custom report/page that displayed all submissions for a particular activity that had a score higher than a certain value but you would still need to perform the grading on the main page. In fact - rather than writing a custom report you could potentially use the configurable reports block (or similar) to run a report with the information if your organisation will allow you to use the sql-based reporting tools.
- Mon, Feb 8, 2016, 11:02 AMHI Dan, thanks, yes I can see how it could be an issue. Never mind... for now We do use config reports and I did write up a quick report for him but it was more about ease of use and quick scanning in a v large class in the grading form.

Renal (Kidney) Surgery
Our urologic surgeons are highly skilled at performing a full range of renal surgeries, including radical, partial and laparoscopic removal of the kidney.
Laparoscopic nephrectomy provides patients with a safe and effective way to remove a diseased or cancerous kidney. Laparosopic nephrectomy is a minimally invasive technique, which provides patients with less discomfort and equivalent results when compared to the larger incision required with traditional open surgery.
The laparoscopic surgical procedure may require conversion to the standard open operation if difficulty is encountered during the laparoscopic procedure. Your urologist will make this decision based on your safety. This could result in a larger standard open incision and possibly a longer recuperation period.
Urologists at Danbury Hospital use renal endoscopy, a minimally invasive technique for obtaining renal biopsies.
Our urologists have a high success and low complication rate using a procedure called cryotherapy to treat small kidney tumors. Cryotherapy is a minimally invasive technique to treat kidney tumors by freezing a portion of the kidney in order to destroy the cancer cells. In addition to shortened recovery time, cryotherapy preserves kidney function (versus radical surgery). However, should cryotherapy not have the desired outcome, renal surgery can still be considered an option.

Star partners Times Internet to distribute IPL digitally
Posted on Jan 28 2014 | IBNS
Mumbai, Jan 28 : Media and entertainment company Star India has licensed the digital distribution rights for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2014 from Times Internet, the digital arm of the Times of India Group.
Star India will offer streaming and video on demand on starsports.com, the Star Sports app, and on mobile operator services powered by Star Sports.
Times Internet will distribute IPL streaming and video on demand on its cricket destination on web and mobile, powered by a starsports.com video player. Both companies will market the joint proposition, and Star India will be solely responsible for monetization, including advertising sales.
Last year, IPL online witnessed a 56 percent growth in visitors, with over 200 million video views.
"At a time when more and more fans are following sports across multiple screens, our aim is to deliver an experience for them that is even better than what is on television. This partnership signals our continuing efforts to transform sports and the digital experience, '' said Sanjay Gupta, Chief Operating Officer of Star India.
"We want to make IPL the world's largest sporting event on a digital platform this year," he said.
Satyan Gajwani, Chief Executive Officer of Times Internet, said, "We have been offering our users IPL for three years, and it continues to be a major driver in consumption and brand, recognized as one of the largest online video events worldwide with rapid growth. Our partnership with Star will enable an even larger reach for the property across digital devices."

My take of Frank Miller's Batman
Roughly 1 quick hour
Roughly 1 quick hour
Looks great! What made you decide to give him a gun?
Thanks! Basing him on Frank Miller's TDKR characterization he's getting older and I'd think with his bleak outlook he'd be more susceptible to compromising some of his rules. Plus he uses a gun on Superman in the book
Yeah, makes sense. He also just blows away one of the mutant gang members with a machine gun! I absolutely love that book, but that's the one moment where I feel Miller took him too far. I wish they had explained or at least addressed Batman's use of guns in First Wave.
That is AMAZING.
Good one, man.
great, the colouring (even though its rough) does make the picture more engaging. One of my favourite "daily gotham" pieces
very nice

This is a bit wierd. Parsing a text field with a valid timespan fails if I try to be precise!
const string tmp = "17:23:24";
var t1 = TimeSpan.Parse(tmp);
var t2 = TimeSpan.ParseExact(tmp, "hh:mm:ss", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
The second parse fails with an exception "Input string was not in a correct format." from DateTime.

Beijing opens Games with best show on Earth

BEIJING -- One world, one dream.
One hell of a show.
The only people who didn't enjoy the awe-inspiring Opening Ceremony of the XXIX Olympic Summer Games had to be the folks with the London Olympic organizing committee. They host the 2012 Summer Games, meaning they have to follow the greatest show on Earth -- and, for my yuan, the greatest show in Opening Ceremony history.

South Africa supplies two-thirds of Africa's electricity. However, the demand for electricity in this region is high and, as the regions' economies grow, it continues to increase. Despite the cost of electricity production in South Africa being one of the lowest in the world, demand has outstripped supply and electricity prices have risen as a consequence.
Eskom, a state-owned utility organization, is responsible for providing 95 percent of South Africa's electricity.
The majority of South Africa's electricity comes from coal-fired power stations, and a small percentage from hydroelectric schemes. However, there are plans to diversify the country's electricity infrastructure to include the return to service of old power stations, the development of open-cycle gas turbines and alternative energy sources such as nuclear power, natural gas and renewable energy.
The Department of Energy is responsible for all policies regarding energy in South Africa.
The National Energy Regulator (NERSA) is a regulatory authority responsible for regulating the energy industry in South Africa.
Electricity is available in most parts of South Africa although some very rural parts are not connected to the grid. Due to the dense population in the cities, there is a lot of pressure on electricity supply at peak times, which sometimes results in black-outs. Electricity charges are based on consumption and prices increase for the winter months when demand is high.
South Africa uses 230V mains electricity.
While Eskom is the main supplier of electricity, there are a large number of distributors who deliver electricity to customers' homes. The distributors are responsible for maintaining the equipment for supplying electricity to customers and for providing the appropriate billing.
Electricity distribution has traditionally been managed by Eskom and local governments. There is a move to consolidate the number of distributors to six regional electricity distributors (REDs) who will be responsible for the whole country's electricity distribution. It is hoped that this move will result in the alignment of tariffs and an improvement in services.
Regional distributors include:
To set up an electricity account it is necessary to contact the local regional distributor or Eskom. Details of the regional distributors can be obtained from Eskom's Customer Service team.
A new billing and customer information system has been introduced by Eskom called CC&B (Customer Care & Billing System). This system allows customers to view and pay bills online.
There are also a number of other payment options available to customers, and payment is possible using the following methods:
When moving out of a house it is necessary to arrange for a final electricity reading to be taken and for the account to be closed. When moving to a house that has previously been occupied, it is necessary to take the meter reading straight away and give that reading to the electricity distributor. This reading will be used to open a new account.
The plugs in South Africa are the 3 pinned type, called Type M. This is an old British standard with 3 prongs. It is necessary to use a plug adapter for all appliances which do not have this type of plug.

The dealership in town wanted an arm and a leg to do the Wheel Bearings on my 12,000 mile, 1999 KLR 650, I figured for that price, I could order the specialty tools, top of the line double sealed bearings, water proof grease, and still have $200 - $400 to spend on whatever else I wanted... so I laughed my way out of the Kawi dealership and quickly ordered some wheel bearings and this Tusk Bearing Remover Kit. It only took me 30 minutes from the time I grabbed the jack and started working to do the 3 rear wheel bearings... I even had time to clean and repack the new bearings in that time too. Front wheel took even less time, I was done in under 20 minutes of work.Read All Reviews

I used a few Tusk branded items before and always had a great experience with their items, but not so much on these Snap Ring Pliers... If I didn't misplace my expensive pair I wouldn't have needed them, but for the little $ on these it was worth a shot. First set the silver tips bent, Rocky Mountain promptly shipped another set.

2010 update: if you are using a version of XNA Game Studio >= 4.0, see here instead.
If you are mixing 3D rendering with 2D objects using SpriteBatch, you may notice that your 3D graphics no longer draw correctly after you have rendered sprites. This is because the SpriteBatch changes several device renderstates to values that may not be appropriate for drawing in 3D.An obvious way to avoid this problem is to pass SaveStateMode.SaveState when you call SpriteBatch.Begin, but there is a potential pitfall here. Saving and restoring device state can be slow, so if you do this a lot, your framerate will suffer.A more efficient approach is to always set whatever renderstates you need before you draw any graphics. SpriteBatch will automatically set what it needs for drawing in 2D, so you just need to set these back to what you want before drawing in 3D.So exactly which renderstates does SpriteBatch change? Here's the complete list:
GraphicsDevice.RenderState.CullMode = CullMode.CullCounterClockwiseFace; GraphicsDevice.RenderState.DepthBufferEnable = false; GraphicsDevice.RenderState.AlphaBlendEnable = true; GraphicsDevice.RenderState.AlphaBlendOperation = BlendFunction.Add; GraphicsDevice.RenderState.SourceBlend = Blend.SourceAlpha; GraphicsDevice.RenderState.DestinationBlend = Blend.InverseSourceAlpha; GraphicsDevice.RenderState.SeparateAlphaBlendEnabled = false; GraphicsDevice.RenderState.AlphaTestEnable = true; GraphicsDevice.RenderState.AlphaFunction = CompareFunction.Greater; GraphicsDevice.RenderState.ReferenceAlpha = 0; GraphicsDevice.SamplerStates[0].AddressU = TextureAddressMode.Clamp; GraphicsDevice.SamplerStates[0].AddressV = TextureAddressMode.Clamp; GraphicsDevice.SamplerStates[0].MagFilter = TextureFilter.Linear; GraphicsDevice.SamplerStates[0].MinFilter = TextureFilter.Linear; GraphicsDevice.SamplerStates[0].MipFilter = TextureFilter.Linear; GraphicsDevice.SamplerStates[0].MipMapLevelOfDetailBias = 0.0f; GraphicsDevice.SamplerStates[0].MaxMipLevel = 0;
SpriteBatch also modifies the Vertices, Indices, VertexDeclaration, VertexShader, and PixelShader properties on the GraphicsDevice.
Many of these settings are fine for both 2D and 3D rendering, but before you draw anything in 3D you will probably want to reset these states:
GraphicsDevice.RenderState.DepthBufferEnable = true; GraphicsDevice.RenderState.AlphaBlendEnable = false; GraphicsDevice.RenderState.AlphaTestEnable = false;
Depending on your 3D content, you may also want to set:
GraphicsDevice.SamplerStates[0].AddressU = TextureAddressMode.Wrap; GraphicsDevice.SamplerStates[0].AddressV = TextureAddressMode.Wrap;
Thanks man, I've been looking hours to fix this "bug".
Spent a few days trying to solve an error, went through tonnes of pages before finding this! Cheers!
Thanks for this - much appreciated.
WOW... thank you very, very, very much. What a time saver. You're the best.
Your link for the XNA v4 version goes to this same page. =(
Thanks David!
Link fixed :-)
For Windows Phone 7, try this:
GraphicsDevice.BlendState = BlendState.Opaque;
GraphicsDevice.DepthStencilState = DepthStencilState.Default;
Ridiculous, forcing a manual reset of states changed by SpriteBatch. That's sloppy code.
it does seem kinda strange to me that you should have to reset what you set up each frame because its fliping your switches off state machine designs are'nt supposed to behave like that
Really the only sane way to achieve a high performance graphics API is to always set whatever state you need before each piece of drawing code (and use things like state objects to make this setting efficient).
It's not really feasible to adopt an "if you change something, put it back" policy, because that begs the question, put it back to what? What should the default states be? Every piece of code wants different defaults, and such designs lead to a world of terrible fragility when assumptions change or you try to integrate pieces of code that were written assuming different default states.
XNA adopts a policy of "assume nothing, and always set everything you care about before drawing anything", which is not only the most robust way to manage renderstates, but also by far the most efficient.
How could they have overlooked the fact that people will no doubt need sprites in 3D games/scenes? Either way this helped a lot, now i can display the HUD with the actual game not looking all wrong and weird. Thanks, 5/5
Thanks Chris:-)

Extreme Flying
The 109th Airlift Wing pilots the world's largest ski plane to the Greenland ice cap
Operating in such austere conditions requires specialized training. At Camp Raven, 6,930 feet MSL, pilots practice takeoff and landing skills on a groomed 6,251-foot skiway, as well as on the open snow. A physically demanding survival course, nicknamed "Kool School," is held every two years at Raven, where winds can reach up to 100 mph. Participants are educated about survival gear and how to build shelter and generate drinking water.
Married couple Mark and Lou Albershardt make up the entire population of Raven, and aside from the abandoned DYE-2 radar site, their modest living quarter is the only structure for hundreds of miles. (Yes, they're avid cross-country skiers.) They're a vital part of operations, maintaining the skiway and transmitting weather observations to base ops.
Greenland (a slightly misleading name given that its landscape is 80% ice) is home to 56,400 people and 29,000 Siberian husky sled dogs. Jakobshavns Fjord meets Disko Bay on the western coast in a stunning display of glaciers and floating icebergs.
It's 24 hours of daylight and mosquitoes are in full force in Kangerlussuaq, formerly Sondrestrom U.S. Air Force Base. Musk ox and reindeer roam the hillsides; howls of husky sled dogs permeate the tundra. At the head of a dramatic 105-mile fjord, this west coast town exists solely to support its airport and receives up to 50 flights daily during the summer: Air Greenland runs commercial flights from Copenhagen and within Greenland (no two towns are connected by road); mineral companies charter helicopters and transatlantic ferry flights stop for fuel. Base operations for the 109th at Kangerlussuaq include mission planning, maintenance and spare-parts storage.
"The 109th couldn't do what they do without Polar Resources," allows Lt. Col. Bullock. CH2M Hill Polar Resources (www.polar.ch2m.com) provides logistics planning of air support and other services for NSF camps. "It's a balancing act with cargo and passengers," explains Mark "Sparky" Begnaud, a polar logistician. "And the wild card is Mother Nature." On one flight to the ice cap, 23 members of the Danish parliament join us, and Polar Resources doesn't take this lightly. "There's always a danger of getting stuck and if they have to stay, it will be disruptive to the research efforts."
It's 3 a.m. when we board Skier 93 for the return to New York, but the sunny sky reads more like 3 p.m. Loadmasters have packed the cargo bay with everything from coolers and mountain bikes to science equipment and a 10-foot broken prop—the web seating arrangement for passengers is tight. Up front, Lt. Col. Doll, ruminates about where we've been. "Our mission challenges us to navigate where there are few charts, to land where the conditions may not be fully known and to take off from snow conditions that vary hour by hour." Six and a half hours after departing Greenland's Arctic, we touch down in upstate New York to a warm June afternoon. Sweaters are shed, cell phones beep back to life, and the crew disperses to families, friends and their "regular" lives. "I tell people where I've gone, and they don't believe me," smiles 1st Lt. Williams. "It's hard for them to fathom."

Hamas will not recognize any agreement signed by Abbas
Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, stated Monday that it does not believe a positive outcome would be achieved during the talks between the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, and the U.S. president Barack Obama.
Hamas spokesperson, Fawzi Barhoum, stated that Abbas' term in office had already expired; therefore he cannot sign an agreement with any country, including understandings with the United States and Israel.

As part of our 2011 resolve to End Animal Experiments, Everywhere We Can, we ask Tulane University to get with the program.
The other 95 percent of medical schools with Advanced Trauma Life Support programs exclusively use human-patient simulators in place of dogs, goats or pigs. Tulane is stuck in the 5 percent of U.S. institutions that still direct students to cut apart (and later kill) pigs and other animals.
Prior to 2001 — when the American College of Surgeons (ACS) officially endorsed Simulab's TraumaMan — nearly all lab exercises involved live animals. Students used animals for: cricothyroidotomy (neck incision to alleviate blocked airway); pericardiocentesis (fluid removal from sac that encases heart); and chest tube insertion (drainage of blood, fluid or air to facilitate lung expansion). PCRM Background On ATLS
Given the transformation of classroom training from crude animal surgeries, bleed-outs and killing...to sophisticated simulators, human cadaver systems, real-life hospital rotations...there is zero justification for live labs in 2011. Politely ask Tulane to use animal-free teaching tools alone.

"Hello! Welcome to Can Tho" Top 5 Page for this destination Can Tho by locbuuloc
Can Tho Travel Guide: 128 reviews and 292 photos
Can Tho City is located in the center of the Mekong Delta. It is contiguous to 5 provinces: An Giang on the north, Dong Thap on the north-east, Hau Giang on the south, Kien Giang on the west, and Vinh Long on the east..
Can Tho is over its 200 years as the main town, once known as Tay Do and now one city of Vietnam. All of economic, culture activities closely relate to river and canals which like the "street". It is wonderful to take a boat trip along the riverbanks on fine weather days. On the east bank of Hau River is Ninh Kieu Wharf, which is well known for its beautiful location. Other interesting places are Bang Lang Stock Sanctuary, Can Tho and My Khanh Tourist gardens and Can Tho Market
"Source: CTVOV"
Apart from being the provincial city, Can Tho is also the unofficial 'capital' of the Mekong Delta. It's a vigorous modern place with some good hotels and restaurants, but not much else. However, it's a useful centre for visiting the Cai Rang and Phung Hiep floating markets and cruising the labyrinth of the Mekong's channels and canals.
Originally a small settlement in the 18th century, Can Tho expanded rapidly during the French colonial period when rice-growing was introduced to the Mekong. Now it has a population of a quarter of a million people, making it Vietnam's ninth largest city. The city is located on the bank of the Bassac River, about 170 km southwest of Ho Chi Minh City. It's an important industrial and farming centre. Local manufacturing industries include shipbuilding, rice processing, textiles, and farm machinery. Agricultural goods include coconut oil and sugarcane.
It has good transport links - the river, local roads and Vietnam's major north-south highway, and a large airport serving most of the Mekong Delta. Two major ports are located nearby. The upmarket Victoria Hotel has a private fast motorboat connecting with Ho Chi Minh City and Chau Doc. Attractions include a large pagoda built in 1946 in the style of Khmer Theravada Buddhism. It looks impressive, but the interior is very disappointing. Much better is Chua Ong, a Chinese temple facing the river in the heart of the city. It contains a large effigy of a red-faced General Quan Cong wearing decidedly flamboyant headgear and other statues. Outside, the waterfront cafés offer drinks, coffee and a super view of the busy river carrying everything from large container ships to tiny sampans.
Near the main wharf, a lively outdoor market sells a wide variety of fruit and marine products - durian, mangoes, jackfruit, melons, and many shellfish and ocean fish. The Department of Agronomy at Can Tho University houses Vietnam's largest research centre on rice, one of the country's most important staple foods. In recent years, a series of gardens have appeared alongside Can Tho land and water routes. One of these, the 2.2 ha My Khanh Gardens, features many different species of fruit trees and flowers, birds, fish, tortoises, snakes, crabs and shrimps. There are small rong houses (ethnic minority communal dwellings) to provide visitors with a place to rest for the night. There are plenty of opportunities to cruise the river. A 30km drive to Phung Hiep, where a boat will take you to a nearby floating market. Closer, but much more touristy, is Cai Rang floating market. The best river-born treat in Can Tho is a leisurely trip in a small sampan around the myriad of channels running off the river, visiting gardens and orchards on the way.
Can Tho is a friendly and bustling city connected to most other population centres in the Mekong Delta by a system of meandering rivers and canals. Explore these remarkable waterways by boat and see life on the river existing as it has for centuries.

Your photo is what I wanted to see in Vietnam and didn't, by the time the tour got to the markets nearly eveything had gone, it was disappointing. If I had seen this, then it would have been excellent, great photo.

"The paper is a nice and thick quality, my fiance thought they were very classy. I personalized the font in the brown ink and they look beautiful."
"As usual, when I received my product from Wedding Paper Divas, it was accuratly portrayed in the website, so no surprises. You can always expect and receive the best from Wedding Paper Divas. I ordered these for our Couples' Bridal Shower Thank You cards with a "home and garden" theme, so they were perfect!"
"We chose to include the thank yous in our order at the last minute and I'm so glad we did!!! We chose Oasis and Leaf from the custom colors and they are wonderful. Only print on the front so room to write whatever you want."
"Great for bridal shower! I ordered these as Thank You's for bride, to match Spiraling Corners invitations. I centered bride's name on page in "Chivalry Stripes", with monogram above in "Chivalry Initials" font. Figured she will love to use maiden-name monogram one last time! Designers were wonderful! They arranged text size & placement exactly as I wanted, even though it was not a standard option. Customer Service called to confirm order & rushed delivery. Arrived early & with approx 5 extra cards & envelopes!"
"I ordered these cards for the thank you's for our shower! I love the paper they came on and the printing was great! They even changed the colors for me to match my wedding's (navy blue & pink). My only complaint is that they were much smaller than I had envisioned them being. Which is my fault for not looking more closely at the measurements. This may or may not be a problem for most depending on how long their thank you cards are."

Pure Essence, LifeEssence, The Master Multiple, 240 Tablets
By Pure Essence73 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Sep 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?2.77 lbs (1.26 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Even though I took this vitamin with food, it severely irritated my stomach. I actually took it for several months before I figured out what was causing the problem, because the irritation was not immediate. I've never had a vitamin affect me that way. It actually caused pain in my chest. After several months of trying to change my diet to get rid of this issue, I forgot to take my vitamins for a few days and noticed it got better. When I went off of them for a few weeks, my pain disappeared. Since then, I have taken a dose here and there and noticed the pain returns. I have no idea what it contains that doesn't agree with my system, but I'll never be able to use this product again.
These vitamins are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McClung, 27, died of smoke inhalation while trying to evacuate the building located on West 43rd Street, after a fire broke out just after 11 AM on the 20th floor, according to the New York Times.
McClung and his husband, Michael Todd Cohen, who were married this past summer, lived on the 38th floor and were both found in the smoke-filled stairwells of the luxury high rise. Cohen is in serious but stable condition at Roosevelt Hospital.
Drama Desk Award nominee Josh Hecht, who directed several of McClung's plays, described the late playwright as a "sensitive, funny and poignant writer."
McClung's Paper Nautilus was staged by Hecht for AliveWire Theatrics. His plays were also developed at Rattlestick and PS 122.
A fund has been set up to help offset costs for the families of McClung and Cohen in the wake of the tragedy. Click here to donate.

Revelation 21:12-14New International Version (NIV)
12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

Limited edition should mean they honor all preorders period and afterwards no more will be made. I gave up on Nintendo limited editions. Wanted the MM 3DS and had a horrible experience trying to get one within mins of its announcement. With the current state of affairs I've resigned myself to never getting a limited edition again. You would think as much as Nintendo is hurting in annual sales they would realize they are shooting themselves in the foot here. Plus I;d love for the scalpers to be stuck with their purchase.
I wish Nintendo could work out a deal with MS to at least get the original on VC
I'm all for a HD GX game. Maybe they can release AX for the Wii U as its own game.
Please Nintendo localize this. The bulk of development money has already been spent creating the game. How much does localization actually cost? Worried about distribution and manufacturing costs? Make it eshop only title.
You know in hindsight I'm glad the N64 was ROM based. Have been playing Majora's Mask again with instant loading and made me think how much I've grown to hate loading screens. Go into a room by accident, loading screen, go back, loading screen, trigger cinematic, loading screen.
Hopefully this time it actually will get released. Would still like to know what the hold up was just to have a idea of what is going through Nintendo's head.
This is a perfect fit since a lot of the N64 games supported widescreen 16x9. I know Goldeneye, Banjo, Donkey Kong did. Probably all of Rare's games did.
They should atleast leak MK on till MK8 comes out. Between this and the weak VC releases its like Nintendo wants me to spend more money on another consoles games.
Too bad I missed downloading these before they were pulled.
Disappointment again. I really thought after the poor sales figures and all the press conference's Nintendo would come out of the gate swinging. This is just sad. And still no SMB3. I wish some journalist would get to the bottom of that. Are we getting a remake or HD version or is it just sitting there and they decided "Nope not for NA"
I missed out on DKC 1,2 & 3 VC. I still own all 3 for the SNES though, but would rather have them on my Wii/Wii U.
Still don't understand why SMB3 was listed as coming soon for so long and now nothing.

Chocolate is delicious; price-fixing, a little less so. Now Canada, along with plaintiffs in the U.S., has the bitter taste of price-fixing in its mouth, and is accusing chocolate makers of collusion.
On June 6, Canada's Competition Bureau filed formal charges against Nestle Canada and Mars Canada, accusing the companies of a conspiracy to fix the price of their chocolate candies in Canada. In a separate case, the bureau anticipates that Hershey Co.'s Canadian unit will plead guilty to one count of price-fixing, Thomson Reuters reports.

In December 2015, DHS conducted nationwide raids to deport Central American families. AILA has condemned these inhumane tactics.
Stay Up to Date
AILA Doc No. 06053062 | Dated May 30, 2006
As of 5/25/06, 49,034 H-1B numbers (out of a pool of 61,000) had been used for fy2007. That was a usage of approximately 4,000 in two days--double the rate of usage in the weeks before. As the cap nears, it is reasonable to expect that the rate of usage will continue to climb. Therefore, it is generally believed that the H-1B cap for fiscal 2007 will be reached very shortly.
H-1B usage is periodically updated on the USCIS website. It is suggested that you bookmark this page and check it periodically.

Online matching service pairs ag employers with workers By Cindee Talley • Mar 10, 2015 Imagine eHarmony for agricultural employers and workers. That's how western Kansas farmer Mark Pettijohn describes Nebraska-based Hansen-Agri-placement. Without immigration fix, many dairies struggle to find employees By Luke Runyon • Feb 8, 2015 Luke Runyon/Harvest Public Media When Jon Slutsky's dairy farm in Wellington, Colo. is fully staffed, it's a moment to celebrate. A full roster of employees at Slutsky's La Luna Dairy is rare these days. "We're doing really well with our employee base," Slutsky said. "A year ago, we couldn't say that. We were short." With the farm's 1,500 cows waiting to be milked, Slutsky and his wife Susan Moore felt panicked, worried they didn't have enough hands on deck to milk about 200 cows per hour. Rural Kansas Counties Buck Traditional Employment Trends By Cindee Talley • Jul 2, 2013 ezilon Typically, cities fuel job growth, but a recent article in the Wichita Eagle reveals urban employment levels in Kansas are level, while rural areas are experiencing growth. Much of the rural improvements can be attributed to increased oil drilling, oil services, overall farming wealth increase, and government transfers like Medicare.
