Frequently Asked Questions
Self publishing, or on demand publishing implies page layout, designing, illustrating, printing, marketing and distribution of books whenever you want it, in the same way as traditional publishers, without keeping you waiting; and without humiliating you with rejection of your manuscript.
Anyone who wants to establish her/his name as an author.
In approximately 14 days, from the time we have the computer typed, proofread manuscript and your payment with us. 14 days does not include the time for proofreading and/or typesetting if you have included these.
Self publish print on demand has a flurry of reasons or objectives. Here are six reasons why self-publish print on demand might prove just right for you.
Time saving factor with direct publishing
Traditional publishing is time-consuming. It takes a prolonged 18 month period to complete the production cycle. Unlike the traditional method, publish on demand services are ready within 2 weeks for the readers.
The book completes your publishing demands
Being an author, you will want your book look exactly the way you pictured Publish on demand services empowers you with the full control on how your book should be printed and directed. The best thing is you have the right to organize the entire set up of the book you want. No one except you can have the decisions made for publishing.
You can preserve rights to your books post publishing
Traditional publishing house snatches the rights to your books once you entrust them with the responsibility of publishing. In such case, self publish print on demand helps you to own rights of your books. Sometimes, you cannot rely on a publishing house since they can stop publishing abruptly for reasons and to keep consistency of the publishing process you have to buy back the rights from the house. Precisely, the books on demand publishing formula can only help you preserve the rights to your books.
Experimenting the market with self publishing formula
With self-publishing formula, you can experiment the market by targeting a niche of the mass. This will help in self-assessment of your ideas, concept and experiment of self publishing. It will help you determine how well your book will be accepted by readers.
A niche target
If your book targets a niche market, then there is no objective in relying on a big publishing house.
Power Publishers follows the complete process of the production of book and the designing till the end to ensure a complete book. Its strength lies in professionalism and total help in the process of self publish print. Power Publishers offers you different packages for choosing the right production process, and you pick the one that suits your demands.
But first you have to submit your publishing materials which incorporate the ordering information, the text for both inside and outside of the book in a complete word-processing format and the images that you would like to include both for cover page and in the interior. The images can be given in digital or hard copies.
These are the outlines to help Power Publishers with the whole designing of your book. Next, Power publishers will:
•Send to you a soft copy of the print-ready book and cover design. Review it carefully.
•Ask for your approval.
•Then, it will be published and brought into circulation for readers all over the country and the world.
•Give you royalties against each book sold.
You own right to your books as long as you want. Power Publishers is just your assistant. It has the technology of saving copies and finding publication as many as it wants. Remember, that your books are are always available in the market as long as you are with us.
Not, at all. Many publishing houses are vying for a grab of self-published books. Many of our authors, whose books became major hits got noticed by large conventional publishing houses and they approached them to republish or publish the next book with them.
Yes, copyright of your work remains with you or your nominated relative. King package has copyright registration included. In other packages you can add copyright registration on extra payment.
By default no logo appears in the book, as it is self published by the author. But if you want your logo to appear in your book as the publisher, that is okay with us.
Yes, the author has 100% film rights for her/his book. The author has the full right to deal with any filmmaker, or film production company; sign deal with them and sell the film rights, without us stepping in. The author does not have to share her/his earning from selling movie rights with us. This means, if a filmmaker gets interested to make a movie out of your book and wants to deal with you; you have the full freedom to step into such a deal, without us poking our nose and if you earn for example Rs 10 lakhs from it, it is all yours.
This is in sharp contrast with many other publishing companies and at least one other self publishing company based in Mumbai, (who pretend to be a conventional publisher but are a self publishing company in disguise) who make the authors sign a contract of 50% -50% revenue sharing from film / movie rights (we have document evidence). This means nothing as of now, but if a movie is indeed made from your book, you will feel very unhappy to share 50% of your earnings with your publisher. With us, you retain 100% of your earning from this front.
Authors who have resorted to publish print on demand at some point of their career:
Amish (The Immortals of Meluha), E L James (Fifty Shades of Grey), Rudyard Kipling, Stephen King, Walt Whitman, Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain, James Joyce, Benjamin Franklin, Anthony Hope (The Prisoner of Zenda and its sequel Rupert of Hentzau), D. H. Lawrence, Edgar Allan Poe, Carl Sandburg, George Bernard Shaw, James Redfield.
Presently we are offering publishing, distribution and promotion support for only English, Hindi and Bengali language books, as we do not publish without a content check.
Printing a book by yourself and getting it published with a total package of editorial, design, sales, marketing and distribution support are quite different. If you were to draw comparison between your local press and power publishers, then you can realize the differences. Have a glance below:
Your Local Printing Press/Printing Your Book Yourself: Local printing presses are just printing presses. They will not help you with the selling and marketing of the books. Nor with the editorial, design and illustration requirements. They will make you order and deliver you all the books printed, which is a truckload and will occupy your living space, and add to your frustration. You have to suffice with the one-time service provided by them; they do not offer after sales service. Promoting, selling and distributing your book after that is an uphill task that requires specialized skill, experience and network.
Power Publishers: On the other hand, Power Publishers charges you reasonably providing you a complete package of editing, designing, illustrations, printing, marketing, distribution/selling and even sending your books to literary award committees. Power Publishers also offers flexibility to choose the scheme that fits your pocket.
It caters to selling of the books and provides support during pre and post publishing processes. Power Publishers also helps you get noticed by readers by offering search engine optimization service (offered with certain packages). You can count on Power Publishers for payment of quarterly royalty, support forever, registration of copyright, marketing support, editorial support, selling of books, website creation support and distribution support. Power Publishers also comes from Power Media and Entertainment Group; one of the most trusted service providers, operating several important websites (see about us).
Power Publishers are the best when you need self publish print on demand. Count on them to get your book customized yet well marketed in safe hands with your direction and vision.
We publish almost all type of books except the following. As a policy we do not publish the following types of books:
Sure you can. Every book launching event / program / function / ceremony organized by the author, should be communicated to us (the publisher) and our advice about the date for such an event should be taken. There should be enough gap from the expected publication date and the actual event / ceremony date, to avoid a last minute rush for a hurried publication. It would be most advisable to receive your complimentary copies in your hand and then announce the launching event date. If you want help in arranging such a launch event, please let us know.
Please note, that we are not obligated to send additional copies to the venue bookstore for the launch event on credit. You can either give the bookstore (which is the venue of your launch event) copies for the event from your complementary copies, or if we have to directly supply them, the price of additional copies to be supplied has to be paid in advance, less the standard discount. Requisition of additional copies for the launch event has to be communicated to us well in advance.
We also offer the service of arranging a book launch event for you. Please check the details of this service by clicking here.
Default size is: 5.5 inches X 8.5 inches.
Other optional sizes are: 5 inches X 7 inches; 7 inch X 10 inches (large) and 8.5 inches X 11 inches (large). Large sizes are considered as double sized books and 75 pages of a large size book equal to 150 pages of a normal / default sized book.
We believe in maintaining the essence of your original work and so do not believe in drastically changing it by editing. Our editorial advisers will go through your work for an evaluation and suggest you whether an editing and proofreading is recommended for your book or not. Based on the feedback, you may or may not decide to go for our optional editing and proofreading service. This service is included in King package and optional in Queen package and need not be ordered separately. Click here to know more about this.
Yes, if your book is handwritten. No, if your book is computer typed and an editable soft copy is available.
Video book trailers are the latest book marketing sensation in the publishing industry. They have been proven to create bestsellers. The Shiva Trilogy (Meluha, Secret of the Nagas, etc.) by Amish became bestsellers with the help of video book trailers. They are 1 - 2 minute short films that carry the essence of your book, just like a feature film trailer, and generate curiosity about your book among the viewers. They are released on Youtube, Facebook and other social media. If the trailers are liked, people share them with friends and become a national sensation with hundreds/thousands of viewers. It is a smart investment to create smart bestsellers. You can take a look at some of our samples by clicking this link.
Offset and digital. Offset for larger quantity printing and digital for short run.
A business card, sometimes also known as 'visiting card', which we provide to our authors, is a 2 inch X 3.5 inch card bearing your name, contact details, image of your book cover with info about where it is available from. The aim is that when you offer business cards to your clients and people who know you, you are not only handing over your contact details, but also making them aware that you are the author of a certain book, along with the information about where it is available from.
We provide you with several posters about your book. Size is A3 (double the size of an A4 page). It is a blowup of the front cover design, with the price and availability info. This is how you can use the posters:
In Word format (.doc file or .docx file), Pagemaker format, etc. If your book has tables, graphs, charts or plenty of photos/images, please convert your manuscript to the default size of a book (5.5 inches X 8.5 inches, or A5 page size) before you mail your manuscript to us. The text area is 3.9 inches X 6.7 inches. Tables, images, photos, illustrations, charts, etc. must be re-sized and should not be larger than the text area / page margins. If your tables, graphs and images are large, you can go for a large, double sized book (see sizes under point # 16 of this page).
You are free to move out if you get better offers, by just sending us a mail. We shall be happy with you. No questions would be asked. No compensation would be claimed by us from you. There are no refunds either for payments you have made, in case you decide to terminate your contract anytime. We the publisher shall terminate the contract and withdraw the book without any refund if the book is, after publication, found to be plagiarized, or copied from another book.
That does not really matter. It is our duty to keep the book available to readers for 2 years (after which you can renew only the distribution for a nominal annual cost) and we print in sufficient numbers to keep in available in the market for 2 years. If your books are all sold off, we will reprint it at our own cost to make it available in the market.
The printed price of your book will depend on factors like the length of your book (no. of pages), color pages if any, type of binding, paper quality, additional cover page decorations etc. Once we see the manuscript or if you let us know the number of words, we can calculate and confirm you the retail/printed price of your book within a few hours.
No. Your royalty is given to you as 'author's discount' for extra copies you order directly from us. However, if you order copies from other outlets like Flipkart.com, etc, without a special discount, then you will earn normal royalty.
Please click here to visit the payment page, that offers multiple options for payment.
If your package includes the Newspaper Review feature, as soon as your book is published, your book will be sent for review to the Book Review section of 5 or 3 leading newspapers.
Within a week after the publication date of your book, these Newspaper Offices will receive one copy each, free of cost, all courier charges paid. We provide you the proof of dispatch and the courier tracking number.
While we are committed to send 5 or 3 books to 5 or 3 newspapers for review, we do not guarantee that a review would be published. But yes, many of our books have been reviewed and new reviews are added each month - depends on the merit and quality of the book. As we are publishing a huge number of books every month, it is not practically possible for our team to track all the newspapers in India every day. We would need your help here - please do inform us as soon as you see the review of your book coming out in these newspapers. We regularly update our Facebook page with latest press coverage and book reviews coming out in newspapers. Please click here to check out our Facebook page for this purpose.

Is there any other software like Wine for Ubuntu or for any other Linux distribution?
closed as off-topic by Moses, harrymc, BloodPhilia, nc4pk, Kevin Panko May 21 '14 at 2:32
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
You mean to run Windows applications ? There's Crossover Linux, Crossover Games, & Cedega - but all are paid and use the WINE codebase. Another is Mono which implements the .net frameworks and runtimes on Linux.
Although not "like Wine", Virtual Machines are a great way of running Windows applications on Linux. There are several freely available virtual machine engines for Linux, such as VirtualBox, but in order to run Windows applications you will still need a copy of Windows.
Wine stands (stood?) for "Wine is not an emulator".
Just about all the software available for Linux "is not an emulator" and so is just like Wine.

"The management of vulval skin disorders." has been saved, and will be accessible from the My NGC page.
Go to My NGC
Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
Vulval skin disorders, including dermatitis, lichen simplex, vulval candidiasis, lichen sclerosus, lichen planus, and vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN)
To review the diagnosis and management of common vulval dermatoses seen in general gynaecological practice and the role of specialist training and support
Adult women with symptoms and/or signs of vulval skin disorders
The Cochrane Library and the Cochrane Register of controlled trials were searched for relevant randomised controlled trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses. A search of Medline from 1980 to January 2010 was also carried out. The database was searched using the MeSH terms 'pruritus vulvae', 'lichen simplex', 'lichen sclerosus', 'lichen planus', 'vulva and dermatosis', 'vulva and candidiasis', 'vulva and disease and diagnosis' and 'vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia', including all subheadings. This search was combined with a keyword search using the terms 'disease and diagnosis' and limited to 'English language and women and humans'. Databases searched were the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, DARE, EMBASE, Medline, PubMed, the National Library of Health and the National Guideline Clearinghouse. Other related guidelines were available from the British Association of Sexual Health and HIV, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, the Association of Physicians in Obstetrics and Gynecology and the British Association of Dermatologists.
The definition of the type of review used in this guideline was adult women referred to secondary care with symptoms and/or signs of vulval skin disorders, and the interventions to be studied were specified as the role of history taking, examination and investigations in the diagnosis and management of vulval skin disorders, the use of ultrapotent steroids and alternatives in vulval dermatoses and the provision of surveillance in secondary care for women with vulval disorders.
The research questions were developed and submitted for peer review.
Not stated
Classification of Evidence Levels
1++ High-quality meta-analyses, systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials or randomised controlled trials with a very low risk of bias
1+ Well-conducted meta-analyses, systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials or randomised controlled trials with a low risk of bias
1– Meta-analyses, systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials or randomised controlled trials with a high risk of bias
2++ High-quality systematic reviews of case–control or cohort studies or high-quality case–control or cohort studies with a very low risk of confounding, bias or chance and a high probability that the relationship is causal
2+ Well-conducted case–control or cohort studies with a low risk of confounding, bias or chance and a moderate probability that the relationship is causal
2– Case–control or cohort studies with a high risk of confounding, bias or chance and a significant risk that the relationship is not causal
3 Non-analytical studies, e.g., case reports, case series
4 Expert opinion
Two independent reviewers assessed the literature generated by the review to identify recommendations and the supporting evidence.
Reviewing and Grading of Evidence
Once the evidence has been collated for each clinical question it needs to be appraised and reviewed (refer to section 3 in "Development of RCOG Green-top guidelines: producing a clinical practice guideline" for information on the formulation of the clinical questions; see the "Availability of Companion Documents" field). For each question, the study type with least chance of bias should be used. If available, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of suitable size and quality should be used in preference to observational data. This may vary depending on the outcome being examined.
The level of evidence and the grade of the recommendations used in this guideline originate from the guidance by the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) Grading Review Group, which incorporates formal assessment of the methodological quality, quantity, consistency, and applicability of the evidence base. The methods used to appraise individual study types are available from the SIGN Web site (www.sign.ac.uk/methodology/checklists.html ). An objective appraisal of study quality is essential, but paired reviewing by guideline leads may be impractical because of resource constraints.
Once evidence has been collated and appraised, it can be graded. A judgement on the quality of the evidence will be necessary using the grading system (see the "Rating Scheme for the Strength of the Evidence" field). Where evidence is felt to warrant 'down-grading', for whatever reason, the rationale must be stated. Evidence judged to be of poor quality can be excluded. Any study with a high chance of bias (either 1– or 2–) will be excluded from the guideline and recommendations will not be based on this evidence. This prevents recommendations being based on poor-quality RCTs when higher-quality observational evidence is available.
Guideline Development
The development of guidelines involves more than the collation and reviewing of evidence. Even with high-quality data from systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials, a value judgement is needed when comparing one therapy with another. This will therefore introduce the need for consensus.
Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) Green-top guidelines are drafted by nominated developers, in contrast to other guideline groups such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN), who use larger guideline development groups. Equally, in contrast to other guideline groups, the topics chosen for development as Green-top guidelines are concise enough to allow development by a smaller group of individuals.
In agreeing the precise wording of evidence-based guideline recommendations and in developing consensus-based 'good practice points', the Guidelines Committee (GC) will employ an informal consensus approach through group discussion. In line with current methodologies, the entire development process will follow strict guidance and be both transparent and robust. The RCOG acknowledges that formal consensus methods have been described, but these require further evaluation in the context of clinical guideline development. It is envisaged that this will not detract from the rigor of the process but prevent undue delays in development.
Grades of Recommendations
A - At least one meta-analysis, systematic review or randomised controlled trial rated as 1++ and directly applicable to the target population; or
A systematic review of randomised controlled trials or a body of evidence consisting principally of studies rated as 1+ directly applicable to the target population and demonstrating overall consistency of results
B - A body of evidence including studies rated as 2++ directly applicable to the target population, and demonstrating overall consistency of results; or
Extrapolated evidence from studies rated as 1++ or 1+
C - A body of evidence including studies rated as 2+ directly applicable to the target population and demonstrating overall consistency of results; or
Extrapolated evidence from studies rated as 2++
D - Evidence level 3 or 4; or
Extrapolated evidence from studies rated as 2+
Good Practice Point - Recommended best practice based on the clinical experience of the guideline development group
A formal cost analysis was not performed and published cost analyses were not reviewed.
Following discussion in the Guidelines Committee (GC), each Green-top guideline is formally peer reviewed. At the same time, the draft guideline is published on the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) Web site for further peer discussion before final publication.
All comments will be collated by the RCOG and tabulated for consideration by the guideline leads. Each comment will require discussion. Where comments are rejected then justification will need to be made. Following this review, the document will be updated and the GC will then review the revised draft and the table of comments.
Once the GC signs-off on the guideline, it is submitted to the Standards Board for approval before final publication.
In addition to these evidence-based recommendations, the guideline development group also identifies points of best clinical practice in the original guideline document.
Classification of evidence levels (1++ to 4) and grades of recommendations (A-D) are defined at the end of the "Major Recommendations" field.
What Information Needs to Be Included in History Taking and Examination When Women Are Referred to the Gynaecology Clinic with Symptoms and/or Signs of a Vulval Skin Disorder to Aid Investigation and Management?
C - The history should include details of any personal or family history of autoimmune conditions.
C - The history should include details of any personal or family history of atopic conditions (hay fever, asthma, eczema).
D - The history should include any symptoms of urinary or faecal incontinence.
Which Investigations Are Useful in the Investigation of a Woman with a Vulval Skin Disorder?
D - In the initial assessment of a woman with vulval symptoms, consider testing for thyroid disease, diabetes and sexually transmitted infections if clinically indicated.
D - Skin biopsy is not necessary when a diagnosis can be made on clinical examination. Biopsy is required if the woman fails to respond to treatment or there is clinical suspicion of vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) or cancer.
C - Women suspected of having lichen sclerosus or lichen planus should be investigated for other autoimmune conditions if there are clinical symptoms or signs.
C - Serum ferritin should be checked in women with vulval dermatitis.
What Is the Role of Skin Patch Testing in the Investigation and Management of Women with Vulval Dermatoses?
D - Skin patch testing should be performed for women seen with vulval dermatitis.
How Should Lichen Sclerosus and Lichen Planus Be Managed?
C - Ultrapotent steroids are important in the management of women diagnosed with lichen sclerosus and lichen planus. The patient and her general practitioner require clear advice on the management regime (Appendix 6 in the original guideline document describes a suitable management regime).
D - Approximately 4% to 10% of women with anogenital lichen sclerosus will have symptoms that do not improve with topical ultrapotent steroids (steroid-resistant disease). The recommended second-line treatment is topical tacrolimus under the supervision of a specialist clinic.
D - Surgery and CO2 laser vaporisation are not recommended for the treatment of symptoms of lichen sclerosus. However, these treatments have a role in restoring function impaired by agglutination and adhesions such as urinary retention or narrowing of the vaginal introitus that affect sexual function or body image.
How Should VIN Be Managed?
C - The gold standard for the treatment of VIN is local surgical excision.
D - Women undergoing surgical excision of VIN should have access to reconstructive surgery.
B - Non-surgical treatments are accepted as an alternative to surgery, but women require regular, long-term follow-up.
What Non-specific Measures and Advice Are Useful in the Control of Vulval Symptoms?
D - A key part of management is general care of the vulval skin and avoidance of any potential irritants that may worsen vulval irritation.
Emollients are widely recognised as having a key role in protecting the skin and restoring skin barrier function. General vulval care includes avoiding potential irritants that may worsen vulval symptoms. Uncontrolled studies have shown that these measures reduce symptoms and resolve contact dermatitis and lichen simplex chronicus. Vulval skin is sensitive and may react both to irritants and to allergens. Irritants are commonly encountered and include underwear, sanitary protection, textile dyes, soaps and detergents (see Appendix 3 in the original guideline document). Avoiding soap and detergents and using soap substitutes can be soothing and protective to the skin. The combined use of emollients and soap substitutes helps maintain symptom relief and is safe and inexpensive. A small, prospective, open trial of maintenance with an emollient following steroid therapy showed that a proportion of women can maintain symptom relief and reduce the use of topical corticosteroids. [Evidence level 3]
Do Women with Vulval Skin Disorders Need to Remain Under Long-Term Surveillance at the Gynaecology Clinic?
C - Women with VIN need to be seen on a regular basis for vulvoscopy or careful clinical assessment and biopsy of any suspicious area.
C - Women who have been treated for VIN are at risk of intraepithelial neoplasia at other sites. Colposcopy examination should be available at follow-up.
How Should Sexual Problems Associated with Vulval Skin Disorders Be Identified and, if Identified, What Is the Most Effective Approach to Their Management?
D - Women should be asked about the impact of their vulval disorder on sexual function and appropriate advice and care should be available.
What Is the Role of Self-Examination and What Information Should Women Be Given on This?
D - Women with vulval symptoms should be encouraged to perform self-examination to monitor their skin condition and any suspicious areas.
What Training Should General Gynaecologists Have in the Management of Vulval Disorders?
D - According to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) core curriculum, obstetrics and gynaecology trainees must have knowledge and experience of the management of common vulval disorders as a training requirement.
What Is the Most Effective Model for Care Provision for the Investigation and Management of Women with Vulval Skin Disorders?
D - Women with complex or rare vulval skin disorders or who do not respond to standard treatment should be seen at a specialist vulval clinic.
Women who have difficulty with symptom control should be referred to a specialist clinic. This includes women who require frequent or prolonged use of ultrapotent topical steroids. Such women may require additional support to use first-, second- or third-line therapy. They require biopsy of any suspicious or resistant areas. [Evidence level 4]

Top Ways to Beat the Summer Heat
Summer is in full swing here at the beach and things sure are heating up! Though July and August are traditionally the most popular months to take a Myrtle Beach vacation they are also the two hottest months of the year. Proper sun protection and hydration will only get you so far. Sometimes, you need to take a step back from the sun, salt, and sand and kick back to cool off.
There are plenty of ways to beat the heat and keep your cool during your beach getaway, take a peek at a few of our top picks:
Wet n' Wild Fun
Of course, it wouldn't be a trip to Myrtle Beach without a trip to the beach! But, there are plenty of other ways to keep cool this summer that don't involve sloshing through the sand. If you need a break from the beach, check out one of Myrtle Beach's three family style water parks!

Visitors can enjoy their choice of over 12 water slides, the expansive wave pool, several lazy rivers, and much more. Tickets start at $20.99 / person and include the next day for free!

The Grand Strand offers a wide array of shopping options to meet all of your needs. Visitors looking for a traditional mall experience should check out Coastal Grand, the area's largest shopping mall complex. Upscale shoppers will love the high-end offerings at Market Common, a swanky outdoor shopping complex.

text: My period hasn't been on a normal schedule since I first started 9 years ago. Finally this year I get my period close to every 32 days. September was the last time I had my period and I'm wondering if that's normal for it to be normal for almost a year, and then be thrown off again. I'm almost 50 days late. I've had protected sex since September, and I've taken 3 pregnancy tests that were negative. What could be the problem?

perfect for me
I love this suit. I get lots of compliments on it. I originally found it at a department store last year and wore it out. I swim 3-4 days a week doing some laps and water aerobics. Happy to have found another one. A bit tight at first but the fit is great and I feel confident that nothing is bulging.

I wear this for lap swim. Get a lot of compliments on it. It is a little tight around legs though. Not because it does not fit. I do have very muscular legs..

Could a group of aliens or extra-terrestrials be seeking to "divide, rule and parasitize" humans through elaborate "terrorism scenarios" and wars?
This is one scenario that has been posited by scholar John Lash in seeking to make sense of the atrocities of terrorism in part of the Middle East, Europe and South East Asia.
John Lash is a specialist self-taught scholar and truth seeker in the area of alien life and exopolitics. Exopolitics is an interdisciplinary scientific field, with its roots in the political sciences. It focuses on research, education and public policy with regard to the actors, institutions and processes, associated with extra-terrestrial life, as well as the wide range of implications this entails through public advocacy and newly emerging paradigms.
Acts of terrorism can be defined as violent acts that are intended to create fear and terror and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants. Lash believes that human beings naturally share an interconnected spiritual link to each other as empathetic beings that is incongruous with the underlying aims of acts of terrorism.
Through the work of Lash and researchers like David Icke and Michael Salla, exopolitics claims that terrorism is an alien construct, caused by shape shifting aliens intent on manipulating and controlling humans. Their convictions are determined through extensive interviews and accounts from those they call 'Whistleblowers', who served for long periods in the military and/or corporations participating in 'black projects'; and also 'Contactees' who have had direct physical contact with extra-terrestrials and communicated with them. Such people are said to have consistent accounts and be of good, credible standing, often with government or military careers behind them.
Salla in particular claims that aliens have historically made technological exchanges with government and military staff. He further contends that an alien consortium id active in controlling human elites, institutions and financial systems; promoting militarism; creating a climate of scarcity, struggle and insecurity and that their activities contribute to global problems such as concentrated wealth, corrupt elites and institutions, ethnic/religious violence, human rights abuses, and a culture of violence and terrorism. This goes against the traditional perspective that explains terrorism as a conflict between cultures and religions. Instead, conflict and wars are constructed to distract humans from their true potential.
In a world where terrorism and political violence are considered by everyday people as senseless, aimless and without consideration for the unintended victims, the thought of alien involvement in the unexplained atrocities of war is perhaps not as far fetched as some may have first thought.

Engineering Science
Coordinator Gregory W. Clark
The engineering science degree is a dual-degree program that unites the advantages of a liberal arts background with those of an engineering degree from one of the nation's leading engineering schools. The program combines three years of course work completed at Manchester College with course work at an engineering institution such as Columbia University, Purdue University, The Ohio State University or Washington University in St. Louis, MO. Transfer credits from the engineering institution are used to complete the Manchester College degree. A degree from the engineering institution is awarded after the completion of all requirements at that institution (typically two years).

Data Security
When asked, most companies will say that the safety of data stored on their computers is of critical importance. All too often we find huge security problems during technology audits:
- Backups are irregular or data cannot be restored.
- Persistent router attacks bring office internet access to a crawl.
- Mail servers are slow because of spam and third party relaying.

Remote monitoring of individual network components (servers, routers, desktops, laptops and printers) provides the basis for efficient use of technical resources. We have the tools to provide real-time reporting on all platforms (Windows, OS X and UNIX). Using these tools, we give you a virtual window into your network: we can let you know if drive errors indicate an upcoming failure, or whether your backup has run successfully. Beyond reporting, many technical services can be deployed remotely, such as OS patches and anti-virus updates, saving you both time and money.

T. S. Eliot1888–1965
Arguably the most famous poet of the Modernist movement, T(homas) S(tearns) Eliot revolutionized the art first with "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" in 1915 and then with the 1922 publication of his long, difficult poem The Waste Land. He also became famous for his criticism and later for the poems adapted into the Broadway musical Cats. Although born in St. Louis, he spent most of his adult life in England, working first in banking, then in publishing.

Before White Ladder was released in 2000, British singer-songwriter David Gray was flying under a cloak of anonymity with his three previous full-length albums. Now, thanks to hits such as "Babylon" and "Shine," his folky, easy-going rhythms and lyrics have been permanently ingrained into the mainstream's collective consciousness.
David Gray is set to release his tenth studio album, Mutineers, on July 17 and to commemorate the debut album for Kobalt Label Services, he's embarking on an eight-city Spring tour throughout North America. It kicks off tonight in Los Angeles, makes its way through San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts tomorrow night, and wraps up in Toronto, ON, before heading overseas.
The North American dates are, predictably, already sold out. Info on cities and venues can be found below:
Apr 24 – Los Angeles, CA – Wilshire Ebell Theatre (Sold Out)

A South African animal rights group is planning to sue the
people responsible for the death of a giraffe that smashed
its head on a bridge as it was transported in a trailer on
one of Africa's busiest motorways.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing two giraffes in an open air
trailer being driven along Johannesburg's N1 motorway on
Thursday (local time) before one hit its head on the bridge.
"What a weird and sad thing to witness. That impact was so
shocking," TV and radio personality Pabi Moloi said on
Twitter, next to a cellphone picture of the giraffes shortly
before the incident.
"Look how low that bridge is and how tall the giraffes are.
Who thought this one through?"
South Africa's National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals (NSPCA) said they would be seeking to prosecute
those responsible.
"We're very concerned about the way it was transported. Most
definitely there has been negligence," NSPCA manager Rick
Allen said.
The incident has caused outrage in South Africa and has been
tragically compared to a scene in Hollywood film 'Hangover 3'
in which bungling character Alan Garner buys a giraffe before
accidentally decapitating it on a highway bridge.
Allen said it was fortunate the other giraffe survived. "We
have already nicknamed it 'Lucky'," he said.

Adam "Big Country" Scherr said in an interview with RXMuscle.com at the 2013 Arnold Strongman Classic in March that he was in contract negotiations with WWE.
The word making rounds is a deal is likely, if not already signed. We'll update if we get confirmation as he was dealing with a biceps injury in March.

Sweet Heart Candy Valentine's Day Desserts Table (20 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
My daughter loves pink, and I love red. So this year, I decided to go 100% down the girly route for our Valentine's Day styled shoot in collaboration with SweetWorks.
I adored designing our NEW Valentine's Day printables, and working with some of the party supplies we carry in the shop, like those mini gumball machines, which I am just in love with! ♥
Party Styling and Decor:
Love hearts were my inspiration, and 'kiss' designs also featured throughout the table, including the little heart garland on the front of the table, and the cute 'kiss' photo booth props, which I stuck to a paper straw - great idea and craft activity to get the kids involved with!
The desserts table was set up on a white simple table, covered with glittery pink wall paper. This so happens to also be washable and such a practical way to dress the table - No need to hem like with fabrics. It's also pretty economical.
The Sweet Stuff:
The focus of the deserts table was the homemade cake, that I decorated with red Sixlets from SweetWorks, and some printable heart designs that I glittered as cake toppers. I simply glued the toppers to paper straws and inserted those into the finished cake.
To counter balance the tall cake, a pink balloon decorated with DIY crepe paper tassles was displayed on the adjacent side.
The usual sweet treats such as shimmery pink, red and white gumballs, Sixlets and chocolate hearts sat displayed beautifully inside clear pedestal candy jars and printable snack boxes.
Both areas were labelled with printable buffet cards, so guests know to help themselves. I also added some embellished paper goodie bags and cute metal scoop, for to-go candy!
The cupcakes were simple vanilla with cream cheese frosting (my fave!) and sugar heart sprinkles. Instead of the usual topper, I decided on a homemade chocolate heart lollipop for added sweetness. The red of the pop really does pop! :)
The cupcakes were displayed onto cute pink cupcake pedestals from Bird's Party Shop, and adorned with a printable cupcake wrapper to match.
Drinks were served in cute glass milk bottles, and paper straws embellished with glittery hearts and printable flags from the collection.
For added sweetness, the glass milk bottles tops were rimmed with sugar sprinkles matching the party colors.
Hershey's kisses were displayed inside a heart-shaped bowl, and those were decorated with printable mini tags, and chocolate mousse served inside ice cream containers. Those looked really sweet with printable labels and a wooden chevron spoon tied with baker's twine for decor. Plus, makes more sense this time of year than actual ice cream. ;)
Party Favor Ideas:
To finish things off, the favors included gumball necklaces (tutorial later in the week) presented inside dinky little darling gift boxes. The satin bows were added to the lid for the final touch of pretty.
We also made glittered hair clips in the shapes of lips and hearts, using the printables. Those were clipped to a card and given out as party favors too, along with some heart-shaped chocolate lollipops, and adorable mini gumball machines filled with colored Sixlets also helped to add the cute factor tot he tabletop. Plus, guests can take them home and re-fill when needed!

The Phillips County Sheriff's Office reports that on Sept. 8 around 3:30 p.m. an ATV collided with a motor vehicle as it crossed the intersection of Phillips County 351 and Phillips County Road 246. The motor vehicle accident report stated that 33-year-old Sharon Kirkwood was traveling south on PC 351 Road when an ATV carrying a 13-year old boy entered the roadway. In the report, Kirkwood stated that she could not avoid the collision, adding that she was struck on the passenger side and both air bags deployed obstructing her view. Kirkwood reported that she hit the brakes and started to turn her car to the left when the boy struck her windshield. According to the accident report, Kirkwood was transported to Helena Regional Medical Center for minor injuries. The report also stated that the boy was flown by helicopter to The Med in Memphis. There was no report on his condition.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jun 01st, 2005
Running Time: 65
Company: Booz Entertainment
Cast: June (I), Booz, Others
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
Manic hybrid of verite-smut, hip-hop and gonzo warrants a few copies.
Odd exploration of underground sex club scene is refreshing after so many dull hip-hop verite-exposes. Released by a company that seems more inclined to release Indie-reggae albums (dig the advertisements!), this is none-the-less a revisionist amateur release. In case you missed the boat on what "pum pum" consists of, listen to the lyrics of the blazin' hip hop/R B soundtrack. Now, what does go on behind the doors of the VIP rooms?
Everything, pretty much as hoochies for hire have hommies by the score bag it up. Nice to see safe sex practiced in such risqué situations. If you're looking for stroke-value, it pops up as you realize none of this is staged. The docu-elements are just a bonus for the ethnographers. The posturing and In Ya Face shout outs get old quick, but the vibe of inebriation is accurately portrayed. There's girl/girl aplenty and so much scully (blowjobs), you'll want to brush your teeth. Word!
