The Wildcats (1-2) came out strong registering their first goal in the eighth minute. Senior Susana Melendez picked up her first goal of the season with a header off a throw in by freshman Sheridan Cohen, which proved to be the game-winner.
Arizona out-shot the Lumberjacks (0-3), 12-5, with junior Jazmin Ponce leading the way with four shot attempts and senior Susana Melendez right behind her with three shot attempts. Fellow teammates Ana-Maria Montoya and Ariel Boulicault both registered two shots on goal.
Olympian Montoya recorded her first goal of the season in the 42nd minute to give the Wildcats a 2-0 advantage. Six minutes later she recorded her second goal on a free kick from midfield.

The Children's Asthma Center offers a multispecialty team led by Medical Director Ann-Marie Brooks, M.D.
Asthma Center at Children's at Hughes Spalding
Directions and Hours
There are many different kinds of medications prescribed for children with asthma. Here are the most common types.
Printable PDF
There are three types of Quick-Relief Medications.
These medications relax the muscles surrounding the airways to open the airways and help breathing. They work very quickly but only for a short amount of time (about three to six hours).
These are the medications that will save your child's life if he is having an asthma attack. Your child should have this medication, along with a spacer, available to him at all times. Whether he carries them with him or it is stored with the school nurse, it is important he has access in case of emergency.
Inhaled bronchodilators have many different names. No matter what brand name, there will be the words "albuterol" on the canister. To help you remember that this is the medication that your child needs to have with him, remember "ALbuterol, ALways have it with you."
Examples of Short-Acting Inhaled Bronchodilators
- ProAir® (albuterol)
- Proventil® (albuterol)
- Ventolin® (albuterol)
- Xopenex® (levoalbuterol)
- ProAir® (albuterol)
- Proventil® (albuterol)
- Ventolin® (albuterol)
- Xopenex® (levoalbuterol)
These can be given with a nebulizer or with an inhaler. All medications that are inhalers need to be taken with a spacer. If your child isn't using a spacer, he is only getting about 35 percent of the medicine to his airway (the rest is going in his mouth).
More Information
- Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) with mask and spacer (En Español)
- MDI with mouthpiece and spacer (En Español)
- Home Aerosol Treatments (En Español)
Anti-cholinergics are given with short-acting inhaled bronchodilators for severe asthma attacks. These medications also relax the muscles surrounding the airways to open the airways and help breathing.
Examples of Anti-Cholinergics
- Atrovent® (ipratropium)
- Combivent® (albuterol & ipratropium)
- Atrovent® (ipratropium)
- Combivent® (albuterol & ipratropium)
Oral corticosteroids are used for asthma attacks that are not relieved by short-acting inhaled bronchodilators. These medications work to decrease the swelling in the airway.
These medications are either liquid or pills and are taken by mouth. Your child should continue taking his controller medications even if he is prescribed oral steroids.
Examples of Oral Corticosteroids
- Prednisone
- Methylprednisolone
- Prelone® (prednisolone) Syrup
- Orapred® (prednisolone) Syrup
- Prednisone
- Methylprednisolone
- Prelone® (prednisolone) Syrup
- Orapred® (prednisolone) Syrup
Controller medications are daily medications that prevent and reduce the swelling on the inside of the airway, which also prevents asthma attacks or flare ups. They do not work quickly, but they do work over a long period of time.
Using controller medications to prevent asthma attacks is like using sunscreen to prevent sunburns.
There are three types of controller medications.
Inhaled corticosteroids are the controller medications that reduce and prevent airway inflammation or swelling. Used daily, inhaled corticosteroids treat the underlying part of asthma that you may not feel or see.
Examples of Inhaled Corticosteroids
- Asmanex®
- Flovent®
- Pulmicort®
Combination medications contain both long-acting bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroid components. These medications prevent and decrease swelling of the airway and relax the muscles that surround the airway for up to 12 hours.
Examples of Combination Medications
- Advair®
- Symbicort®
- Dulera®
All medications that are inhalers need to be taken with a spacer. If your child isn't using a spacer, he is only getting about 35 percent of the medicine to his airway (the rest is going in his mouth).
- Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) with mask and spacer (En Español)
- MDI with mouthpiece and spacer (En Español)
- Home Aerosol Treatments (En Español)
These medications block the effects of leukotrienes, which are molecules in the immune system that can cause asthma symptoms. Leukotriene modifiers can help prevent symptoms for up to 24 hours.
Examples of Leukotriene Modifiers
- Singulair® (montelukast)
- Accolate® (zafirlukast)
- Zyflo CR® (zileutin)
In rare cases, Singulair® (montelukast) has been linked to psychological reactions, such as agitation, aggression, hallucinations, depression and suicidal thinking. See your doctor right away if you or your child has any unusual reactions.
Asthma and allergies often go hand-in-hand. Sometimes if your child's allergies can be controlled, his asthma can also be controlled.
There are five types of medications for asthma triggered by allergies.
Steroid nasal sprays are used to prevent the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation, or swelling. They are also used to treat nasal symptoms, like congestion, sneezing and runny nose cause by seasonal and year-round allergies.
It is important to use saline nose spray prior to using steroid nasal sprays. This helps remove mucus that could prevent the medicine from getting where it needs to go. Saline nose spray is available at the grocery or drug store without a prescription.
To use saline nose spray:
- Spray both sides of the nose with several squirts of saline nose spray.
- Blow nose very well and repeat saline nose spray if needed.
- When nose is clean, use steroid nasal spray as prescribed.
- Spray both sides of the nose with several squirts of saline nose spray.
- Blow nose very well and repeat saline nose spray if needed.
- When nose is clean, use steroid nasal spray as prescribed.
Examples of Steroid Nasal Sprays
- Flonase® (fluticasone propionate)
- Nasarel® (flunisolide)
- Nasonex®
Antihistamines are used to reduce or block histamines, the chemicals that cause allergy symptoms.
Antihistamines are available both by prescription and over the counter, depending on what is recommended by your child's doctor.
Some antihistamines can make you tired, while others generally do not.
Examples of Antihistamines
- Allegra®
- Atarax® (hydroxyzine)
- Benadryl®
- Clarinex®
- Zyrtec®
Epinephrine autoinjectors are used to treat anaphylaxis , a serious allergic reaction. Epinephrine enters to bloodstream and works quickly against serious allergy symptoms.
For example, it decreases swelling and raises blood pressure. It is given as an injection.
If your child has been diagnosed with severe allergies to insect bites/stings, foods or medications, he should have an epinephrine autoinjector with him at all times.
More Information
Epinepherine Teaching Sheet (En Español)
Examples of Epinephrine Autoinjectors
Allergy shots, or immunotherapy, may be an option if avoiding allergic triggers doesn't help control your child's asthma.
After your child's provider determines what your child is allergic to through allergy testing, your child will get a series of injections with small doses of those allergens. Generally, these injections are once a week for a few months, and then once a month for three to five years. Over time, your child should become less allergic.
This medication can be used to treat asthma triggered by airborne allergens. If your child has allergies, his immune system makes allergy-causing antibodies that attack things that generally cause no harm, like pollen, dust mites and pet dander. Xolair blocks these antibodies, reducing the immune system's reaction that causes allergy and asthma symptoms.
Xolair is given by injection every two to four weeks. It isn't generally recommended for children under 12. In rare cases, Xolair has triggered a life-threatening allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).
Anyone who takes Xolair should be monitored closely by a healthcare professional after getting an injection in case of severe reaction.

This was another fun week of the soaping challenges (organized by Amy Warden of Great Cakes Soapworks). The technique, mica swirled tops, has gained popularity and can be seen on several soap blogs. I hadn't tried it yet and was looking forward to this one.
Going into this week I was pretty confident of my swirling technique. But I have to admit this takes a bit of practice (the oil can get away from you ). Take a look….
This soap was made with a simple recipe of olive, palm, coconut and castor. The fragrance is Juicy Couture Type by Nature's Garden, the colorant is electric bubblegum and the mica line is gold sparkle mica – both by Bramble Berry.
Thanks again to Amy for her hard work organizing the challenge. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's projects.
Until next time – bon savon!

Subject: about holy spirit con men.
Dear Cliff,
Hi! I was watching TV the other day, and I saw this Benny Hinn thing where he gives people a knockout and supposedly cures them of terrible diseases in the process. Last year somebody told me that he had cured an HIV patient!
What are the ways we could curb these con men? Next thing you know, a couple of medical colleges will instute a new degree DPHS -- "Doctor by the Power of the Holy Spirit!"

Read about my "knockout" in the response to When To Address Religious Quackery with James Mathew. Back then, it was called "being slain in the Spirit," which, from what I know about it, could instantly step from metaphor to literal reality if anything goes wrong. Talk about quackery! If the authorities ever found out, they'd simply shriek!!
I don't know how they could do it in America, because the uproar about religious freedom would be overwhelming. I mean, even the Roman Catholics came out in favor of Indians being allowed to take hallucinogenic drugs during their ceremonies. So, since the government won't do it, it's basically up to us!
Joseph Lewis tried very hard to bust Oral Roberts, but he flourished well into the 1970s, ten years after Lewis died. I'm not familiar with much of Lewis's angle (his arguments or his tactics), but essentially he tried to bust Roberts as a medical fraud -- a quack -- skirting around the religious angle altogether. Obviously it didn't work, and if anybody had the smarts to pull this off, it was Lewis. I think I remember some civil damages coming out of this, but the fact that he commits these crimes under the cloak of religion somehow exonorates him.
If anything pass in a religious meeting seditiously and contrary to the public peace, let it be punished in the same manner and no otherwise than as if it had happened in a fair or market.
I don't know what we can do other than shout loudly from the rooftops -- but then the quacks and frauds hear us, too, and do that much more to cover up their schemes. Hinn won't let people bring cameras or recording devices into his shows, so all we have are personal testimonies, such as Gregory Tinkler's "Snake Oil in the 21st Century," published in the May, 2001, issue of Positive Atheism. Though others surely have more, that's all we have on Hinn, at this point; he has protected himself from what brought down such predecessors as Peter Popoff, whom James Randi busted for using a radio transmitting device to help him appear to receive direct revelations from God (although "God," it turns out, was, in fact, Mrs. Popoff!).

Nokia entering Korean market for the third time
SK Telecom, the largest mobile phone operator in South Korea, announced on Monday of their negotiations with Nokia on supplying their phones for SK Telecom shops, possibly by the end of the year.
This isn't the first time the mobile phone giant attempts to break into the Korean market; it is, in fact, the third.
Last time Nokia withdrew from Korea in 2003 under orders from company HQ in Helsinki, when after millions in investments and opening of R&D center in Seoul, they only managed to conquer a 'massive' 1% share of the country's handset market. The said center was closed down at that time, and Nokia's OEM agreement with Telson Electronics, one of Korea's mobile handset manufacturers, was discontinued (more).
Company's wish to enter the Korean market is understandable; it is, after all, the third largest market in Asia (China and Japan taking the first two places, naturally). While Nokia has 40% share of the worldwide mobile phone market (source), the market in Korea is largely dominated by four companies: Korea's own Samsung, LG and Pantech, as well as US-based Motorolla.
South Korea is one of the leaders in 3G technology; the mobile phone market there is fast-changing and dynamic. However, this is not the only reason why it is so hard for foreign manufacturers to sell their phones here – there are governmental regulations in place as well, although according to KoreaTimes, these are likely to be eased soon.
What might give Nokia's phones an equal ground with the competitors in South Korea is the universal W-CDMA platform (a type of 3G network) which was introduced last year, for which the company can produce phones at a good price.
Nokia already has a presence in Korea – a large manufacturing plant – but all the phones produced there up till now were for export only.

A Sunday afternoon house fire has resulted in the occupant of the home being hospitalized in a Lubbock Burn Center.
Guymon Firefighters responded to a reported house fire at 3:07pm Sunday afternoon. The home located at 1004 ½ N. Ellison had heavy smoke and fire coming from a back side window and the eves of the home on Firefighters arrival. "The fire was called in by multiple people driving by the house", said Assistant Fire Chief Grant Wadley. The resident of the house, James Wynes, was out of the house and receiving first aid treatment from the bystanders on Firefighters arrival. Mr. Wynes was treated at the scene by Fire Department Paramedics, transported to the Guymon Hospital, then later airlifted to a Lubbock Burn Center with burns to his head, face, neck, and hands.
"The home was small and the fire was quickly extinguished by Firefighters", Wadley explained. The home had only 2 rooms and a bathroom with heavy fire damage in only one of the rooms. The interior portion of the house was a total loss from the heavy smoke and heat conditions. Estimated loss to the home and contents is $25,000. Cause of the fire was found to be intentional by Fire Investigators and still under investigation. Guymon Fire Department was assisted by the Guymon Police, Tri-County Electric, and City of Guymon Utilities department.
These winter months are historically known for increase in home fires that result in deaths and serious injury. Most fire deaths occur when people are asleep in their homes. A properly working smoke alarm is a simple and cost effective device that every home should have. Please call the Guymon Fire Department (580) 338-5536 to have free smoke alarms installed in your home or to have batteries replaced.

"The train man was still standing there. I could see him very plainly. I watched him take the gun apart. I don't know how he did it because I don't know anything about guns, but he dismantled it and put it inside the brown suitcase. Then he started running, too. He ran off to the north, into the railroad yards. I managed to keep him in sight until he ran behind a train. He ran right around the caboose and disappeared, and after that I couldn't see him anymore."

"Falling Skies," the TV series about the aftermath of an alien invasion that airs on TNT, took a turn when it aired Sunday. This development will set up a grand finale for the two part season closer that will no doubt also set up things for the fifth and last season to air next year,
Some spoilers follow.
Cochise, the good guy alien ally, has discovered that the evil aliens have established a base on the moon. The base contains the invaders' main power source, which is beamed to various facilities that they have established on Earth. The setup appears to be similar to a concept developed by Dr. David Criswell, a scientist at the University of Houston at Clear Lake, who envisioned setting up solar collectors on the lunar surface that would beam energy to Earth. Doubtless the aliens have improved on the technology.
If the evil aliens thought that putting their main power source out of reach of the last, rag tag remnants of the human resistance would cause despair, they were sadly mistaken. Tom Mason, played with increasing zest by Noah Wylie, came to a decision. If the key to the aliens' power is on the moon, then by all means the humans need to travel to the moon and wipe it out.
Mason, no doubt enraptured by the historical moment, stood up on the rubble and gave his best JFK impression. "We choose to go to the moon not because it is easy, but because it is hard." The rest of the rebels think that their leader has come mad from the strain. Indeed, all the scene lacked was someone channeling Barack Obama. "We have already been there. Buzz (Aldrin) has been there."
Of course then the proper reaction would have been to curse the current president, since if he had not stopped the return to the moon program we'd have stopped the invasion before it started. But lacking a human built way to return to the moon, it is likely our brave rebels will use a captured alien ship. How is that for taking the fight to the enemy?

Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow
Good maternity pillows are hard to find. It's all about mom's comfort when it comes to a pregnancy pillow and Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort is an excellent maternity pillow.
Sleeping on a Cloud
Today's Mom® has listened to the biggest concerns of...well, moms of course! One of the biggest pregnancy pillow problems has been hard edges digging into mom's shoulder. The Cozy Comfort has a curve shaped, shoulder support design, that contours to the shoulder and provides a soft sleep. Another problem examined by Today's Mom® is lumbar support. The Cozy Comfort correctly supports mommy's weight while she sleeps. An important upgrade mother's demanded was belly support. This maternity body pillow features a belly support allowing the tummy to rest and support the baby comfortable. Perhaps the best feature is the large, square head rest area. Other pillows feature a flimsy, oddly shaped area for the head. The Cozy Comfort's head support resembles a standard pillow to provide comfort.
Convenience You can Count on
This is one of the only pregnancy pillows designed with an easy to remove zipper-cover. Now, the pillow and case can be separated for washing. The case is machine washable. The pillow and case are made of a 50/50 combination of polyester and cotton, and a 200 Thread count percale.
Please note that due to hygiene reasons, this product cannot be returned.
Your request will be processed within the next 24 hours.
Please add "email@example.com" to your address book to ensure delivery.See Today's E-Blast Promo

The second program that conductor Charles Dutoit prepared for his two-week visit to the podium of the San Francisco Symphony (SFS) in Davies Symphony Hall consisted of only two compositions. During the first half he was joined by pianist Kirill Gerstein for a performance of Ludwig van Beethoven's Opus 19 concerto in B-flat major. The intermission was then followed by Dmitri Shostakovich's Opus 93 symphony in E minor, his tenth.
Opus 19 is one of those compositions that Beethoven subjected to considerable reworking. He began to write it in 1790 and may have played it in Vienna in 1795. The composition then went through several stages of revision before being finalized in 1801 and published in December of that year. Because his later C major concerto was published as Opus 15 in March of that year, Opus 19 is called the second piano concerto, even though it predates Opus 15.
Opus 19 is one of those pieces in which Beethoven seems to be seeing new horizons by standing on the shoulders of a giant. The giant was, of course, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; and Opus 19 shows that Beethoven must have been an enthusiastic student of the piano concertos Mozart had written. Of the five piano concertos that Beethoven published, it is the one that is best approached with the lightest touch; and it is one of Beethoven's most good-humored pieces in his entire canon.
Still, there are no shortage of ways in which he was looking forward with it. This is evident even before the first entry of the piano. The ensemble instrumentation calls for strings (reduced in number last night to a size compatible with the strength of a modern grand piano), one flute, two oboes, two bassoons, and two horns, the same sort of instrumentation one might encounter in Mozart. However, while Mozart was particularly deft at using winds to add coloration to thematic material shared with the strings (as was experienced at Davies earlier this season), Beethoven provided the winds with their own melodic vocabulary, which then unfolded concurrently with the themes in the string section. This was a major advance in Beethoven's development as a composer and one that he would explore in many subsequent settings.
On the piano side we are aware of how Beethoven is beginning to exercise prolongation over more extended durations. We also discover that Beethoven's own cadenza for the first movement begins with a fugue (possibly one he originally improvised). Thus, we experience an early sign of the significant role that fugue would play in so many of his subsequent compositions.
Ultimately, however, it is through that good-humored rhetoric that this piece really shines. Gerstein seemed to understand this; and, if his tempo choices were sometimes a bit too fast for the responsiveness of his keyboard, he never gave up a general spirit of playfulness that emerges so frequently in Mozart's concertos and so rarely in Beethoven's. Dutoit's ensemble support provided Gerstein with free rein to romp to his content, while making it clear that SFS was not there for mere accompaniment. The Adagio movement thus emerged almost as an intimate dialog, while the concluding Rondo was a bit like a tennis game with the principal theme bouncing between soloist and ensemble. While many may think of Opus 19 as a rather slight effort when compared with Beethoven's "masterpieces" (scare quotes intended), last night's performance made it clear that this was music with a generous share of its own merits.
Shostakovich composed his Opus 93 symphony in 1953. Those familiar with the history of the Soviet Union and its impact on the work of creative artists will recognize that this was the year in which Joseph Stalin died (along with Sergei Prokofiev at almost exactly the same time). Shostakovich began work on Opus 93 within a few months after Stalin's death; and there are a variety of reasons to believe that he used music to express thoughts (even if highly encrypted) about Stalin that were unthinkable while that tyrant was still alive.
The strongest evidence for this assertion can be found in the second (Allegro) movement, a lightning-fast and violent scherzo that is significantly shorter than any of the other four movements in the symphony. (Shostakovich's sense of durational proportion is often eccentric. The duration of the first two movements is about the same as that of the last two. However, while the final two movements are about equal in duration, the first movement is about five times longer than the second.) If a scherzo is supposed to be playful, then this movement is the play of William Shakespeare's wanton boys killing flies for sport. (Those familiar with Stalin's biography will appreciate just how apposite this metaphor is.)
This symphony is also one of several Shostakovich compositions to use the DSCH motif. Since E-flat is called "Es" in German, this amounts to an abbreviated spelling of the composer's name. By the conclusion of the symphony, this metaphor is being proclaimed insistently and loudly, almost as if Shostakovich is vigorously asserting (Chevy Chase style) "Stalin is dead, and I'm not!" Yet the rhetoric is an odd mix of comedy and desperation. Like just about everyone else in Russia, Shostakovich had absolutely no idea how things would go in the wake of Stalin's death. Nevertheless, we can probably grant that this symphony may have been his way of venting (however cautiously) at least some of the relief he felt that Stalin was no longer around to persecute him.
Dutoit presented this symphony with a keen sense of balance. This involved not only control of the vast diversity of instrumental resources in all four sections but also scrupulous attention to dynamics, always appreciating the distinction between dramatic climax and uninhibited outburst. Under Dutoit's management, the latter never swamped the former. The result was a reading of Shostakovich in which none of the latent dramatic intensity was short-changed but in which the unfolding of that drama over the course of about an hour was always more important than any individual event.

A Sunday story on NBC News reports that NASA is drawing nigh to the final selection of two commercially run, government financed spacecraft that will take human astronauts to and from the International Space Station. In the running are the Dragon V2 from SpaceX, the CST-100 from Boeing, and the Dream Chaser from Sierra Nevada. In the meantime, the Huffington Post suggests that there is still angst and confusion about NASA's commercial crew program, which doles out subsidies for nominally commercial spacecraft.
Two of the contenders are space capsules in the style of the old Apollo spacecraft. The Dragon V2 will be a piloted version of the Dragon cargo ship that is already taking supplies to and from the ISS. Boeing is offering the CST-100 which, unlike the Dragon, has yet to fly in any form.
The Sierra Nevada Dream is a lift body vehicle that would be launched vertically on top of a commercial rocket but would land like an aircraft, much like the space shuttle orbiter did. It is distinguished from its two competitors in the coolness factor. The ride home on the Dream Chaser would inflict far fewer G forces on its passengers than the Dragon or the CST-100.
Meanwhile there seems to be a kind of confusion about what the purpose of the commercial crew program is. Its stated purpose is to fund a commercially operated space craft to service the International Space Station, thus ending NASA's reliance on the Russian Soyuz, a growing imperative considering Russia's increasing belligerence in the Ukraine and other areas. Fostering a commercial launch industry has not been a consideration under the Obama administration. This has given Greg Autry, an economics professor, some heart burn.
"Framed in the topsy-turvy world of military-industrial-complex thinking, the focus of the discussion was on how the private sector could be supported if it met NASA's needs. It is as though the reason for supporting a market economy is to deliver services to a government agency, rather than seeing the purpose of the agency as fostering economic growth that will generate jobs and taxable revenues in its sector. Imagine the state of air travel if the FAA built the aircraft and treated private firms as its vassals. I suspect it would look a lot like Amtrak, but with more accidents."
The analogy is not exactly real. The FAA is a regulatory agency which has considerable control over how aircraft and now commercial spacecraft are built and operated. NASA is behaving just like any customer of a commercial service would by making requirements of what kind of service is going to be delivered. Commercial space would no more be a "vassal" to NASA than would charter air services are to the military, which uses them extensively. The difference is that NASA is paying almost all of the development costs for these new commercial spacecraft.
Autry also offers some snark about the heavy lift Space Launch System, which he describes as "pork barrel." In this he demonstrates some of the confusion that many commercial space advocates have about the SLS. The heavy lift launcher is meant to service NASA's deep space exploration needs and is not a competitor for the commercial crew program. Nor is there any commercial alternatives for heavy lift, a crucial part of any missions beyond low Earth orbit.
In the meantime, the three contenders are looking at how to truly commercialize their spacecraft beyond servicing NASA. SpaceX is bravely suggesting that it will continue on with Dragon V2 even if it does not get the ISS contract. Space tourism and servicing commercial space stations such as those planned by Bigelow Aerospace are possibilities. Sierra Nevada has forged some alliances in Europe and Japan. This sets up the possibility that it can provide space transportation services to foreign governments.
Boeing has previously suggested that it would not continue with the CST-100 if it does not get the NASA contract. This is a pattern often followed with big aerospace. But it now may be backtracking on that, suggesting that there might be a business case for a commercial CST-100 yet, perhaps as an autonomous cargo ship.
In any case NASA's final decision is expected in the next few weeks.

Requirement is a Database of Employment Agencies.
The Statement of Requirements defined by the User is as follows ...
An employment database is required to maintain a listing of Employment agencies
with details of website, head office, subsidiary offices and contact persons at each local office.
Companies are categorised, for example "Administration", "IT", "Tutoring" depending on what kind of
employment they specialise in.
Some agencies may have only Administration jobs on offer, however other agencies may offer Administration
jobs and IT jobs on offer- so they need multiple categories on the database.
So far I have created approx 5 tables:-
National- contains all the national contact details for the company eg website, national ph no. or email,
my rating of the company as a whole etc. EG Adecco, www.adecco.com.au, firstname.lastname@example.com,
4 out of 5 rating.
Local - contains the contact details:-
address, ph no., email etc of a local office
EG. 1 York St Sydney City, email@example.com,
and 1 arthur st Parramatta, email@example.com, and
1 elizabeth St Chatswood, email@example.com. etc. etc.
Local Employment Consultant :-
contains the Employment Consultants contact details for a particular local office.
Eg. Mary Black, firstname.lastname@example.com, ph 9999 4444, and John Wright,
email@example.com ph 9450 5555 etc.etc.
I want to put this in a separate table so if the staff contact changes I can simply update that record only
- rather than having this data embedded in the above local office table.
Furthermore some local offices may have 2 or 3 Employment Consultants that I can contact for employment.
Category- I have a number associated to each category eg 1- Admin, 2-IT, 3- Child Care...etc
I want to be able to do a query on Admin agencies only, or IT agencies only.
National/Category- I created this table to link the National table to the Category table-
because I need to be able to choose multiple categories for some of the Employment Agencies.
B. Things of Interest :-
B.1 Agencies
B.2 Contacts
B.3 Local Offices
C. How are they related ?
C.1 An Agency can have zero, one or many Contacts.

WASHINGTON -- Bank of America gets off with a slap on the wrist paying a $16.65 billion settlement for selling toxic mortgage bonds. Although $7 billion of it is slated for consumer relief, the remedy is little more than a tincture to homeowners who lost a combined $13 trillion in home equity. For some families the damage may be permanent.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday at a news conference that the relief package was "appropriate given the size and scope of the wrongdoing at issue."
Bank of America is not the only lending institution to pay up. JPMorgan Chase & Co. agreed to a $13 billion settlement while Citigroup reached a separate $7 billion deal. Before agreeing to settlements, all three banks had more than five years of record profits by borrowing at rates as low as 0.25 percent and then charging consumers around 4.25 percent for a thirty-year mortgage with 20 percent down.
The BOA settlement requires the second-largest U.S. bank to reduce some homeowners' loan balances, provide new loans to low-income buyers and address areas of neighborhood blight. It is unclear as to the number of borrowers that would be helped. One thing is certain: this settlement comes too late for Americans who already lost their homes to foreclosure. Despite bailing out the banking industry with taxpayer dollars, remedies contained in all settlements so far are little more than lipstick on porcine greed that brought the U.S. economy to its knees in 2008.
While Bank of America is often blamed with selling the bulk of worthless mortgage bonds to the secondary market after it purchased of Countrywide, many economists would admit our banking system was doomed when the Glass-Stegall Act was repealed in 1999, and replaced with laissez faire legislation called the Gramm-Leach Act. The supplanted bill had maintained a strict separation between commercial and investment banking. The collapse took almost ten years but those responsible, namely members of the Clinton Administration and a Republican dominated Congress, should hold their heads in shame for causing the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression.
Historians in the future will muse over the titular differences between Democrats and Republicans. They will discover when it came to banking, both sides of Congress supported supply-side economics to solve a crisis caused by Wall Street and not borrowers encouraged by so-called mortgage professionals to insert puffery instead of facts on their loan applications.

Driven by war and poverty, millions of people are on the move, putting their lives at risk. But rather than explore the reasons, authorities lock them up or threaten them with force.
Despite a long run of journalistic tough times, the loss of advertising dollars and the challenge of the Internet, there's been a blossoming of investigative journalism across the globe from Honduras to Myanmar, New Zealand to Indonesia.
Taylor Jones, El Nuevo Dia, Puerto Rico
She's attracted international attention to her cause, and now she's bringing change to her native Burma, as pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi led her political party, the National League for Democracy, to claim 40 of 45 parliamentary seats up for the vote in last weekend's by-elections.

Malaysian-born Michelle Yeoh is one of very few actors to have found onscreen success in her home base of Hong Kong as well as in Hollywood. But since she played the part of Burmese political crusader Aung San Suu Kyi in Luc Besson's ... (more)
Gay men in Myanmar make up a language, women disappear in new-order Egypt and the Civil War divides Americans in 2011. These discoveries and more after the jump.
Reports are streaming in that suggest Burmese military authorities have authorized the release of pro-democracy superstar Aung San Suu Kyi after a national election in the junta-led country. Suu Kyi has lived the past seven years under house arrest and 15 of the past 21 years in state-sponsored detention.
The polls may have closed in Burma after the military junta-ruled country hosted its first elections in 20 years, but those waiting for significant change may have to wait a bit longer: The country's main opposition party has boycotted the "democratic" contest.
As Burma approaches its first election in 20 years, a "distributed denial of service" attack has paralyzed Internet use within the country, knocking Burmese citizens from online communication in what analysts believe is an attempt by the ruling military dictatorship to restrict the flow of information.

A split within the Burmese opposition has led to some members leaving the defunct National League for Democracy to create a new party, the National Democratic Force, after authorities abolished the NLD for failing to register according to the military regime's strict election laws.

As the military in Burma prepares to replace itself with a civilian government, as per new regulations in the country's 2008 constitution, the generals of the ruling junta are shedding their military ranks and—voilà!—transforming themselves into respectable civilian politicians.
While the U.S. is by far the world's largest arms supplier, Russia has reportedly signed a deal with Myanmar—against which many in the West have imposed sanctions—to provide the country formerly known as Burma with 20 MiG-29 fighter planes. For, you know, uh, defense.

After a Kafkaesque series of house arrests, pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi will have her day in court. The Supreme Court in Myanmar has finally agreed to hear an appeal against her most recent detention.
Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia negotiated his way into a meeting Saturday with Senior Gen. Than Shwe in Myanmar in which he secured a promise that detained American John Yettaw would be released and allowed to join him on a Bangkok-bound plane Sunday. Update
Sen. Jim Webb is the first senior U.S. official in more than 10 years to visit Burma, triggering speculation that the White House may be trying to nudge the authoritarian regime there into a "new era of engagement." The trip follows the recent ludicrous sentencing of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi to 18 more months of house arrest.
Flickr / 200MoreMontrealStencils
Burma's military junta has kept Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest for the majority of the last 20 years and it looks as if she isn't going anywhere. The sentence of the opposition leader was extended for the crime of being home—under house arrest—when an uninvited American came calling.
Myanmar ended the six-year house arrest of Nobel Peace laureate and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Tuesday. She remains in detention, however, as her trial continues over whether she breached detention conditions by letting an American intruder into her house last month.

Americans apparently have a track record of opening their wallets to assist those in need after natural disasters at home and abroad. That was the case, at least, after the 2004 tsunami in Asia and Hurricane Katrina in the U.S. in 2005. But the picture looks different in the wake of the recent cyclone in Burma and the earthquake in China, leaving international trend-watchers asking: What gives?

After putting pressure on Burma's ruling military junta, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has traveled to Burma, where he is taking stock of the devastation left by Cyclone Nargis on May 2. Ban also met with Prime Minister Thein Sein, who told him that the storm-ravaged country is out of the relief phase and into reconstruction.
As the official death toll climbs in the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis, the Burmese government remains recalcitrant while survivors and aid workers continue to be frustrated by the slow movement of supplies to the country's worst-hit areas.
BBC reporter Paul Danahar had to go to great lengths in order to report from Burma. A secret identity was just one method for avoiding the military intelligence agents who scoured the country looking for the journalist who dared to report on the devastation of Cyclone Nargis, which struck May 3.
Tab, The Calgary Sun
Agence France-Presse
The U.N. has announced it will resume aid to Burma after conflicts over how food and equipment were to be distributed grounded relief flights. Cyclone Nargis has killed at least 22,000 Burmese, and the ruling junta has been categorically criticized for its ineptitude in dealing with the disaster.
The Burmese government prepared for an influx of international aid Monday as the death toll from Saturday's cyclone passed 10,000, according to Foreign Minister Nyan Win. That number suggested a far greater disaster than the 351 deaths reported earlier that same day.
Burma's top military general has agreed to meet with imprisoned opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, provided she drops her "attitude" and meets other conditions. Meanwhile, the government says it has arrested 2,093 protesters and bystanders (Burmese law prohibits gatherings of five or more), while the BBC puts the figure closer to 10,000.
Burma's military government has intensified its crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night. U.S. Embassy personnel have found some Buddhist monasteries completely deserted while others have been closed off by soldiers.
The British prime minister has warned that the number of dead in Burma is probably "far greater than is being reported so far." The world community has widely condemned the Burmese government's violent response to the thousands of protesters who've been flooding the streets of Yangon.

After a long and tense buildup over recent weeks, the standoff between Buddhist monks and security forces in Burma became violent on Wednesday, with differing reports bringing news of gunfire, deaths and mass arrests in the city of Yangon.
President Bush has weighed in on the massive protests in Burma (Myanmar), saying he will boost sanctions against the country's abusive military government. Meanwhile, thousands of Buddhist monks have defied government warnings and continue to demonstrate.
AP Photo
An estimated 100,000 people marched through the streets of Yangon on Monday in an ongoing protest that has rapidly swelled from just dozens of people. Burma's notoriously inhumane military government has traditionally been quick to stanch dissent but has yet to seriously confront the demonstrators, who were led by roughly 20,000 Buddhist monks.
Thousands of Buddhist monks and supporters have taken to the streets of Yangon (Rangoon) and elsewhere, as the biggest demonstration against Burma's brutal military government in nearly 20 years continues to gain momentum. (Updated)

Here is a guide to help you make a bit of gold at lower levels. Now remember, items do not always sell instantly. It may take some time, and some bartering, but everything sells, And if you getting good at what your doing you'll know what the bottom dollar is you can take so that you break even at the VERY LEAST. But with the release of cataclysm have come new potion, armors, weapons, glyphs, guns,(not to mention the new cooldowns of some transmutations) ect ect. And you don't even need to be level 80 for all of them. You can do all sorts of new recipes that were not in WoTLK. But these are considered "minor" recipes. but they can still make you gold. And for the prices of the things you need to make some of the recipes are cheap.
Ok Im an alchemist, so if you like my articles, and continue to read them, Most of my examples will be from alchemy, but can be easily applied to any profession. Anyway, On my server Iron bars sell for 25-30g a stack. Not to bad right? Now for a lower level, 25-30g seems like its alot and its hard to make. But its not. You can run a few dungeons, sell everything you dont need as quickly as possible, or even get an investor. (Investors are wonderful things. We will go over that shortly) But all you need to do, is get your gold and get a stack of Iron bars. Now if you divide,we will say 27g by 20 iron bars you end up paying 1g 35S 0c per bar. Now is where your money making profession rolls in. In this case, Alchemy. You get a Transmute: Iron to Gold recipe from any alchemy trainer in the game. And on my Server gold is selling for 187g per stack. that 9G 35S now if we round to the nearest Gp we spent 1 Gp on the silver bar, and turned around and made it into 9g per gold bar. Thats 800% PROFIT! that means for every 1 bar of gold you sell you make 8gp from the initial cost of materials for the transmutation. Also remember, You do not want to over flood the market, so watch how much you do it and ALWAYS watch the AH price fluctuation to know when the best time to make and sell is.
So with a cast time of 8 seconds you could make 7.5 bars an hour. that about 75 gold per hour of work. now granted that is not a whole lot for a level 85. but for a level 35? (when you can make and use a Philosopher Stone) and with alchemy lele of 225, thats some pretty good cash. You've more than doubled your original investment of 27 gold. The basis of this example is taking a lesser needed material, and using your profession of choice, to mold it into some of greed. in this case, cruddy old rusty iron, into pure shiny and sleek gold bars.
Investments is another way to make gold in the World of Warcraft. Investing your gold WISELY can make you a millionaire. (over time of course)
But I mentioned earlier that lower level level players may need to get a investor to get things on the ball and rolling for them. A investor is usually a guildy, or a friend that may have brought you into the World of Warcraft. But just like real life they can make you out a loan for you to pay back later. Now the Transmute Iron to gold is the easiest way to get ont he ball. because if you had to borrow 25g, turn around, make it into 74 g you still have 49g that is yours (you always want to pay back your investors AS FAST AS POSSIBLE) and you can buy new materials and do it all over again. And dont ever just pay them back what they gave you. always give them a little bit more so they make some sort of profit. So if they loaned you 30 gold, give them 35 or 40 back. that way they feel like the loan was appreciated it, and that you are a trustworthy person. Merch happy my friends.

It wasn't a bad little tip, but the grammar was atrocious.

Cast time 8 sec surely that is 7.5 bars a minute not an hour. You are talking of iron to gold transmute and then refer to the price paid for a silver bar... Suggest proof reading in future, unfortunately this wasn't a case of being able to overlook errors like that due to fabulous content. Minutes of my life wasted, oh well

Hi guys, once again we have a blogger making GREATLY exagerated claims. On my server gold bars sell for 87 silver, iron bars sell for 1 gold 61 silver. Across all Horde realms, gold bars sell for 1 Gold 27 Silver and iron bars sell for 1 Gold 18 Silver. These prices come from The Undermine Journal (TUJ). It is really depressing how many gold bloggers make erroneous or exagerated claims.

Your basic ideas are fine and would be worth sharing, but there are so many typos in your post that it was really unpleasant to read.
As someone who enthusiastically supported this site, and who would honestly like to see it remain viable and become more active, it is painful to say this -- please know that I am not saying it to flame, but rather as honest, though difficult, feedback:
Markco, it seems like you don't really care about the site any more. I actually found myself wondering if you are just flinging random content at the front page without caring about its quality simply to keep us checking in here so that you can promote selling your WoW guide or whatever Diablo3 guide you come up with.
Is that really what the site has come to? I LOVED this site and referred people here all the time. Now I never refer folks here, and don't see myself looking to you for Diablo3 info because I question whether you'll be careless about it. I always felt like you were one of the good guys in the gaming world. But it looks to me like you are dropping the ball here and just don't want to acknowledge it for fear of losing business. You're losing business by not confronting this, though.
I may get accused of being a jerk for saying this. So be it. It isn't what's in my heart. I have really been saddened and frustrated to see the front page here deteriorate so much =/

As someone else has already commented the price of gold is not necessarily higher than the raw materials. The best way to make gold out of gold ore/bars is probably to make them into the rods needed by enchanters.
It is not a great market though, just better than selling the ore/bars.

The basic premise of your article was wrong. You said that there are lots of recipies for low level players that weren't in WotLK, and then cited Iron to Gold as an example.
Iron to gold's been in the game for years, taught from a scroll recipe purchased in Tanaris, the same vendor who sold the alchemist's stone recipe.
The lowest skill recipe added for Alchemy is 425. The only profession to get even lower level skills is Inscription, which got some different glyphs and vanishing powder.
Had there been any new recipes, a better article would have been to list them before, or instead of, giving an example.
AFAIK, the only transmute recipes that have no cooldown are the ones to make Arcanite, Titanium, uncut meta diamonds, rare uncut Cata gems, and Primal Might.
The elemental transmutes can never be taken off of cooldown, as you could transmute them back and forth allowing them to proc until you had thousands of the things from just one item. This is a valid way for a lower level to use their cooldown to make money, but it's slow.
The other metals transmutes could theoretically be taken off cooldown, but are unlikely as that'd affect the economy for no reason. If you'll remember, the saronite to titanium was ostensibly added because Saronite Bars were so unneeded that people were vendoring them, and the advent of new recipes using just titanium was going to make it worse. The Arcanite recipe is of course the only way to get Arcanite, so it is unique among the metals.
The non-meta WotLK epic gems could also have their cooldown removed, but I can't see any reason they would. Doing it would raise the prices of Eternals, primarily fire and shadow, and at least on my server, they're already more expensive than they were in WotLK.
I suspect that when the next expansion comes out, Truegold will be taken off of cooldown so that players in the 78-84 range can still get it. Why waste your cooldown making truegold when you can use it to make Divineplatinum? It's mats are extensive and expensive enough that people are unlikely to produce it by the thousands, and otherwise there will be no demand for Pyrite except for a few alchemists who can't afford anything better and 3 underused blacksmithing "enchants" which few people would buy for leveling gear.
This concludes my rant on Transmutation.

I'm stunned that someone would turn 1.35g into 9.35g and report it as 800% profit.
Division IS taught in elementary school, and most operating systems have a calculator for those who can't do simple math in their head.
It's approximately 593% profit.
Oh, and it's 425-450 transmutes an hour, depending on lag, not 7.5 .
Dan said... August 25, 2011 at 11:52 AM
There's a 24 hour cooldown on that transmute, so it's not 8 per hour (or per minute), it's 7 PER WEEK.
And yeah, I have to chime in with Caitlyn and call Marcko on this. Are you even doing anything for this site anymore? You used to have such great insight. Now it's mostly random gold bloggers who don't even seem to understand the markets as well as I do. Please pick up the reigns again. It's hardly a good marketing tool for your gold guides when this is the content you promote it with.

Golden Nugget is a historic name in the hotel industry with its first hotel opening in 1946 with the most lavish casino of the time in Las Vegas. The brand has seen many transitions bringing it into this century. Just as the very first Golden Nugget changed the face of Las Vegas by bringing opulence for guests to luxuriate in, the Golden Nugget Atlantic City shares a wonderful luxurious boutique experience that stands apart from the other humongous casino hotels in Atlantic City.
I have visited many times, enjoying the Golden Nugget Atlantic City for its beautiful rooms, the wonderful spa, the fun H2O pool facilities with hot tubs and fire pit, delicious restaurants, the quiet wine & Wi-Fi lounge, and especially its warm staff that make it easy for anyone visiting to want to come back.
The Golden Nugget is a sumptuous hotel filled with amenities wrapped up in a lovely boutique sized package.
Everyone who enters the Golden Nugget is treated like an old friend immediately feeling the warmth and love that are not found in any of the other Atlantic City casino hotels. Unlike the humongous hotels that force people to maneuver through large casinos just to find the front desk to check in, the Golden Nugget's check in staff are the first people you will see upon rising on the escalator when coming from the entrance, whether it be valet or the garage. They pleasantly serve giving you your key to one of the newly renovated deluxe accommodations of rooms and suites that are easy to get to as well from the hotels single elevator lobby located close to the desk. A happy surprise in your room is the free internet just sign in as a Golden Nugget guest. No need to pay for internet, as in most of the other hotels, to check your e-mail.
Unique joys are offered to encounter during every moment that one strolls through the Golden Nugget.
Once settled in your room, the Golden Nugget offers fun beyond just their casino to keep everyone thoroughly feeling fulfilled during every moment of their Golden Nugget experience.
The spa and salon is dedicated to treating people with an ultimate relaxing experience.
All of the major AC hotels have their own spa and salons but what makes the Golden Nugget's spa and salon a stand out is its personalized touch and added conveniences. The new 12,000 square foot spa and salon offers a total fitness center, 11 treatment rooms (including 2 couples facilities) for an array of treatments including massages, wraps and scrubs, and a full service state-of-the-art salon. The retail shop is a wonderful addition to purchase newly found products used in treatments and great gifts.
The beautiful men's and women's spas each include a large delightful whirlpool in a private lounge area, a delicious steam room and soothing sauna. Adding additional comfort to share with your opposite sex partner is the adjoining relaxation area where resting is encouraged sipping tea while sitting back peacefully on a comfortable chaise lounge. Whether getting a full body massage, body wrap, a manicure, or just a trim of your lovely locks guests are welcome to enjoy an entire spa day along with their chosen treatment. My faves are the massages and soothing body scrubs.
Whether winter or summer, warm or cold the hotels H20 Pool + Bar is open all year round.
Capture the thrill of jumping into a soothing hot tub outside by a cozy fire pit without the need of heading to a ski lodge in the winter. Enjoy a breath of fresh air chatting by the warmth of the fire pit in the comfortable seating area. For the bravest the outdoor pool is open for a winter swim and then jump right into one of the four close by hot tubs for the ultimate warm up. Step into the H2O bar space for an extra yummy enjoyment.
Summer days feature poolside lounges to sun and relax in. Waitresses take orders and serve poolside or enjoy sitting at a table for a pleasant snack and drink. Music is always in the air to add to the fun poolside experience.
Wine & Wi-Fi is a quiet place to escape among the lively casino and happenings inside the hotel.
Enjoy a glass of wine, Wi-Fi, a cozy modern fireplace and a quiet place to catch up on the news with a respite from the excitement of action in the casino and clubs. Recharge not only your devices but your mind with a cup of coffee or tea or a nice glass of wine while sinking into a comfy seat. Meet up with friends before dinner or make new friends enjoying an appetizer snack along with your sip of wine.
This is one of my favorite areas that makes the Golden Nugget a stand out among the other hotels. Where other locations push people into gaming anxiety the Golden Nugget recognizes and appreciates that everyone needs a break to revive and get their second wind.
The Deck, open in the warm seasons, is the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful Atlantic City water views.
Catering to the experience of the Atlantic City seashore the Golden Nugget is the only hotel that has a marina and a deck side restaurant for visitors to enjoy in the sunshine of the warmer weather watching boats come in while sipping seasonal special drinks and listening to live entertainment.
With the Golden Nugget's owner also owning fine restaurants dining is a must do while visiting the hotel.
Vic & Anthony's is a renowned steakhouse and the Chart House is the place to go for delicious sea food and views of the marina. The Grotto is located in the center of the gaming fun serving great Italian delights as well as bar pizzas. Across from Grotto is Lillie's, the place for sushi and Asian cuisine. Michael Patrick's Brasserie is the perfect place to meet up for breakfast, lunch or dinner and save your appetite to check out the Buffet.
Of course quick bites and snacks are also accommodated with the Bean & Bread offering coffee and sandwiches, the Chocolate Box for chocoholics and ice cream cravings and a Starbucks for those needing their favorite coffee or latte.
Playing favorite casino games and visiting the clubs and lounges is part of the Golden Nugget experience.
The casino is definitely in the heart of the hotels action. It is easily accessible and maneuverable for everyone. Located conveniently to the left as one enters the hotel all games are within easy reach and enjoyment. The Golden Nuggets casino staff is the ultimate of warm and friendly. I personally enjoy sitting at the poker and video slot bar located by the lobby and right next to the Rush Lounge. The bartenders are cheerful and remember folks, even the ones that may not visit as often as they may like to.
Fantastic talent plays live music, usually classic rock type, most nights in the Rush Lounge where it is heard throughout much of the casino and lobby for everyone to enjoy.
The Live Bar at Golden Nugget offers the excitement of live entertainment and dancing for all to enjoy. Easily accessible amongst the restaurants and casino take a step in to enjoy a dance break while playing or dance off the extra calories after enjoying a delicious meal.
The Golden Nugget is home to the Haven Nightclub, voted the best night club in Atlantic City where the younger set enjoy a unique experience of music and events.
Staying at the Golden Nugget rates as must-do experience.
I have totally enjoyed every moment of every trip I have taken to the Golden Nugget. Even when I have a request of an extra blanket or a TV remote is not working the staff is quick to respond and always pleasant. As apparent in awards given by top travel review sites, the Golden Nugget well deserves to be winner of the AAA Four Diamond award as well as the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence award.
It is truly evident that the hands-on owner Tillman J. Fertitta, the CEO and sole owner of Landry's, Inc., takes pride in every company he owns, whether one of his many wonderful restaurants or the Golden Nugget. His businesses are his babies and he treats them with the love that a father has for his children, nurturing them and learning along as they grow and give back. Feritta brought the previous run-down Trump Marina back to life turning it into the Golden Nugget with his loving touch and a complete multimillion dollar renovation that touched every square inch from the inside out. The Golden Nugget is now a magnificent boutique styled hotel that is to be enjoyed and appreciated for all that it has to offer.
Always reach for the gold and never be afraid to dance!

Today, many doctors recommend decreasing the intake of processed foods as a way of improving overall health and instead eating natural foods as they contain more nutrients and fewer chemicals. They are delicious natural foods that taste great such as Cocoa Nibs which are dried cocoa beans are such a wholesome snack, containing all the nutrients of the cocoa bean without any kind of processing. This means that one is able to get all the natural nutrients from cocoa nibs, thus avoiding any contact with chemicals of processed cocoa.
Cocoa nibs' health benefits are varied and it is important to evaluate them for a better understanding of what they are. One of the greatest health benefits of cocoa nibs is that they are a good source of magnesium. Cocoa nibs contain high levels of magnesium which is helpful to the human body. Every 100 grams of cocoa nibs contains around 272 milligrams of magnesium. Nerve and muscle function in the body is highly dependent on the availability of magnesium. In addition, magnesium helps in building bone strength and boost blood circulation. It is important to note that many people have been diagnosed as having a magnesium deficiency. Cocoa nibs can help meet the daily dietary magnesium requirements, thus avoiding health problems associated with magnesium deficiency.
Another health benefit of cocoa nibs is the provision of iron. Iron is an important requirement for red blood cell production. Doctors recommend the inclusion of iron rich foods in every day diet. Cocoa nibs are a good source of iron. I fact, an ounce of cocoa nibs can be helpful in meeting six percent of the daily iron requirements.
Another important health benefit of cocoa nibs is the provision of dietary fiber. High fiber foods are a common recommendation for people suffering from stomach problems such as constipation and abnormal bowel movements. One ounce of cocoa nibs provides nine grams of fiber which is 36 percent of the daily recommended dietary intake. This shows that cocoa nibs will help regulate body metabolism.
The importance of antioxidants in the body has become a popular topic of discussion in medical circles. With the huge amounts of toxins in the environment, the human body has become deposited with these problematic substances. Antioxidants help remove these toxins for improved health. Blueberries have been considered one of the best sources of antioxidants. Cocoa nibs have an even higher level of antioxidants, which are beneficial to the body. Flavanols, some of the antioxidants found in cocoa nibs help to prevent the clogging of arteries thus improving blood circulation. Cocoa nibs ensure that the body is rid of toxic substances that may be the cause of a variety of ailments.
Supplies Good Cholesterol
Another health benefit of cocoa nibs is the provision of monounsaturated fats. In the modern world, the amounts of bad cholesterol in people have increased drastically. This has led to the recommendations of avoiding certain foods that may be increasing bad cholesterol levels. However, the fats found in cocoa nibs can help raise good cholesterol levels. These are the same fats that are found in olive oil and are good for general health of the human body.
Cocoa nibs are also helpful in regulating blood glucose levels. Cocoa nibs provide energy to the body thus reducing the need for frequent eating. These are a helpful snack especially when the sugar levels decrease and it is not yet meal time. The regulation of blood glucose levels also helps manage conditions such as diabetes. In addition to this, cocoa nibs are a powerful mood improver. The components of cocoa nibs act on neurotransmitters in the brain, helping raise a person's mood.
In this perspective, it is clear that health benefits of cocoa nibs are applicable to daily life. From helping reach the daily dietary mineral requirements to mood improvements, cocoa nibs are a healthy snack. The fact that they are natural and unprocessed means that the nutrients are not lost or modified in any way. The inclusion of cocoa nibs as part of the daily diet will help increase magnesium, iron and antioxidant levels in the body. Subsequently, this will help improve blood circulation, increase red blood cell production, regulate glucose levels and improve overall health.

Brazil v Netherlands: Predicted lineups
The World Cup third place match is almost one of no importance, but with Brazil being the host nation it will certainly be one with a lot of national pride attached to it after they were humiliated by Germany in the semi-finals.
Brazil capitulated to a catastrophic defensive meltdown that saw Germany five goals up in the first 28 minutes of their match and were only able to pull one back to the final German total of seven in 90 minutes.
The return of captain Thiago Silva in defense will certainly be a rallying cry for the Brazilians but the loss of Neymar looks to have been truly too great.
Holland themselves were in it till the end but Argentina proved to have what it took to outlast them in penalties and see Clockwork Orange denied a second chance to take the World title since they lost to Spain in 2010.
Ron Vlaar played a near perfect game against the Argentines, but he could be ruled out for the match with a knock and with the World Cup trophy no longer on the line he may not want to risk injury ahead of his return to Aston Villa and their preparations for the coming English Premier League campaign.
Brazil Starting XI: Cesar: Maicon, Silva, Luiz, Marcelo; Fernandinho, Gustavo; Hulk, Oscar, Bernard; Fred.
Netherlands Starting XI: Vorm: Vrij, Veltman, Blind; Janmaat, Wijnaldum, Clasie, Kuyt; Sneijder; Persie, Robben.

Celebrated for his warm romantic tone, soaring lyricism and masterful technique, Matheny was first introduced to jazz audiences in the 1980s as the protege of flugelhorn legend Art Farmer. Now hailed as "the first breakthrough flugelhornist since Chuck Mangione" (San Jose Mercury News), Matheny has appeared on dozens of compact discs as a composer, arranger, producer and featured soloist. Dmitri began playing the trumpet at age 9. He is an honors graduate of the Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan and the Berklee College of Music in Boston. While still in college, the young trumpeter led his own bands while working professionally as a sideman with the Temptations, Martha Reeves, and the True Colors Big Band. In 1989 he graduated magna cum laude from Berklee and relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area. His commissions or premieres have been funded by Meet the Composer, ASCAP, and BMI.

The air separation unit, which will produce more than 400 tpd of oxygen, nitrogen, and argon, is expected to begin production in the fall of 2014. "The market for atmospheric gases is very strong in the Midwest and we fully expect it to continue," said Michael Molinini, Airgas CEO.
Airgas on Thursday announced plans to build a new air
separation unit (ASU) in the Chicago area, citing increasing
demand for merchant gases in the region.
The ASU, which will produce oxygen, nitrogen, and argon, is
expected to begin production in the fall of 2014.
The market for atmospheric gases is very strong in the
Midwest and we fully expect it to continue, said Michael
Molinini, Airgas CEO.
Because of increased demand, now is the right time to
add to our production capabilities in order to meet the
merchant gas needs of customers in the Midwest.
As the largest US supplier of industrial, specialty, and
medical gases, Airgas currently provides bulk gas supply of
oxygen, nitrogen, and argon through its 16 air separation units
nationwide, the company says.
The proposed Airgas plant in the Chicago area will produce
more than 400 tpd of oxygen, nitrogen, and argon.
We will operate the new plant within our Airgas
Merchant Gases business unit, which has the proven expertise to
run the production plant, said Tom Thoman, gases division
president for Airgas.
Airgas Merchant Gases has an excellent track record
managing our network of air separation plants, our procurement
and supplier relationships, and the logistics and distribution
of atmospheric gases.
The business unit recently commissioned Airgas newest
ASU in Clarksville, Tennessee, which began producing
atmospheric gases in May of this year.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
