22 March 2013, Bangor, UK La Tasca, the UK wide Spanish tapas bar and kitchen, has consolidated its position in the casual dining arena, by introducing a bespoke online gift voucher system to its eCommerce site, with the help of Gift Voucher Solutions and SecureTrading, the UK's leading independent payment processor.
The web solution uses SecureTrading's reliable secure payment gateway and Gift Voucher Solutions' software system, providing a web shop, with a Level 1 PCI DSS compliant integrated online payments system, personalised eVoucher mail tool and automated luxury printing service.
The offering incorporates monetary vouchers as well as 'Gift Experience' vouchers, such as Spanish Cocktail Experience and Personal Paella Chef Experience, for current customers and their friends and families.
Gift Voucher Solutions has enabled La Tasca to embrace digital media and enhance its target audience and customer experience. SecureTrading provided PCI compliant secure card processing and a highly stable platform that can process high level transactions.
Rick Houston, Area Manager for La Tasca Scotland, said: "Both SecureTrading and Gift Voucher Solutions have played a big part in La Tasca's online presence, making it easier for the consumer to purchase goods and associate themselves with the brand. Since rolling out this offering, we have seen an instant return on investment, for both the business and the customer. Sales profits have risen by 50% and customers no longer have to go in store to purchase the vouchers, they simply purchase online and print instantly to post or email them straight away to their chosen recipient."
Houston continues: "We chose to partner with Gift Voucher Solutions because of its immediate commitment to and efficiency in turning the project around. Integrating with SecureTrading's payment gateway was very quick and simple, with little administration, enabling secure and compliant payments to be made by consumers online."
Since launching the gift voucher solution, La Tasca has reaped the benefits with cost savings through reconciliation, minimising printing and labour costs. The solution is set up for future campaigns, as the company looks to run different experiences through seasonable holidays. Transaction completion time is also much more efficient.
The success of the project has outgrown La Tasca's expectations, as the business sees its sales figures double via promotion on social media channels, putting it well on its way to reaching its annual targets.
Dawn Anderson, Managing Director of Gift Voucher Solutions, said: "As a £5 billion revenue channel in the UK, gift vouchers are vital to many businesses. However, they are a high-risk product and it's important that businesses and websites meet bank compliance and credit card security standards. In the current economic climate it makes good sense for businesses to sell direct, take payments direct and keep the relationship with their own customers. Gift Voucher Solutions charges a fixed annual free for its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and, combined with SecureTrading's industry leading rates, provides La Tasca with an extremely effective and affordable way of embracing technology."
Justin Fraser, Sales and Marketing Director Europe at SecureTrading, said: "Merchants require additional authorisation from their acquiring bank to process 'cardholder not present' transactions for gift vouchers, because of the high risk of fraud and chargebacks. By working with Gift Voucher Solutions, we can remove that headache for merchants. We are delighted to be working in partnership to help La Tasca extend its multi-channel offering, allowing the company to further engage with its customers in a secure and reliable means."
La Tasca also offers online gift vouchers throughout its subsidiary businesses, Fiesta Nights and La Vina. To continue its expansion in the casual dining industry, La Tasca is also looking to sell gift vouchers through other channels such as mobile and social media, as well as incorporating a retail aspect to the site.
About La Tasca
La Tasca Kitchen's 42 UK restaurants give tapas enthusiasts the chance to sample a true taste of Spain, alongside an exclusive range of quality Spanish wines and exciting classic cocktails. The menu, which was designed in house by acclaimed executive chef, Antonio Bennett, includes 18 additional gluten free dishes and a host of vegetarian choices, ensuring it caters for everybody, all containing fresh ingredients sourced from Spanish suppliers.

Eye Health
Macular Degeneration
Macular Degeneration (MD) is a disease that destroys the central vision that we use for everyday tasks such as reading and driving. It is the leading cause of blindness and severe vision loss in Australia. For patients older than 50 years, one in seven will have some sign of it. While there is presently no cure for MD if it is detected early enough we can slow its progression.
Glaucoma is an eye disease which slowly destroys the optic nerve at the back of the eye. In some cases in may move rapidly. It is usually caused by increased pressure inside the eye though it may be caused by poor blood supply or a weakness of the optic nerve. Over 300,000 Australians have glaucoma. It is more common as we age but it can occur at any age.
A cataract is a clouding or haze of the lens inside the eye which leads to a decrease in vision. Opacities in the lens obstruct light from passing through and being focused on to the retina.
Diabetic Eye Disease
Approximately 4% of people have diabetes; often undiagnosed. As well as damaging other parts of the body, diabetes can also damage the eyes causing vision problems, glaucoma, cataract and diabetic retinopathy.
UV Damage To The Eye
In recent years, it has been shown that just like sunburn and skin cancers, exposure to ultra-violet (UV) radiation also causes eye damage.
Excessive UV exposure has become an increasing problem since the depletion of the ozone layer.
One of the most common effects of UV damage to the eye is pterygium. This is a triangular growth of thickened degenerative tissue on the white of the eye (called the sclera) that may also extend onto the cornea. It is usually on the nasal side.

RANGOON — More than 4,000 huts built by squatters on the outskirts of Burma's former capital were demolished without explanation by the Rangoon Division government on Tuesday.
The rickety bamboo shacks, located on land beneath the Pan Hlaing Bridge, and other makeshift dwellings erected along the highway between the townships of Hlaing Thaya and Twan Tae were torn down with little warning by local police, and municipal and township administrative staff, according to squatters evicted in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Asked about the reason for the evictions, the Rangoon Division government's Deputy Director Aung Kyaw Soe told The Irrawaddy that senior officials from the divisional government were taking care of the case.
"Nothing bad will happen and we are trying our best to keep everything under control. We are going to release information very soon," he said.
Though there were no clashes on Tuesday, the ongoing removal of the dwellings on Wednesday saw as many as 20 people arrested as some squatters wielding knives, sticks and slingshots resisted the mass eviction by authorities, a witness said.
Myint Aung, one of the squatters living on alluvial land under the Pan Hlaing Bridge, said his family members were evicted from their hut on short notice and were afforded no time to pack their belongings.
"They shouted 'Get out! Get Out!' and then tore down my hut," he told The Irrawaddy.
"While they were tearing down huts, police were providing security for them," he added.
Many of those affected this week had built huts in the area last month, after the government targeted another part of Hlaing Thaya, in western Rangoon, for clearance of illegal dwellings, informing inhabitants that they would be forced to leave by Jan. 27.
Than Soe, one of the squatters who were evicted on Tuesday, said he had built his hut in the area anticipating that he would be forced off the other plot as the Jan. 27 deadline approached.
"I can't afford to rent a place so I ended up here. I have no idea what to do next," he told The Irrawaddy.
Most of the squatters are laborers who survive on meager daily incomes of US$2.50 or less, while some have no regular income at all. With a hand-to-mouth existence that leaves them unable to buy or rent a residence, they end up as illegal tenants who settle in any free space they can find, said Nay Lin, an MP from Hlaing Thaya Township in the Rangoon divisional legislature. The lawmaker estimated that there were nearly 30,000 squatter families around Hlaing Thaya.
Nay Lin urged the government to handle any evictions with care, citing the potential volatility of the issue.
Another local parliamentarian, Nyan Win, admitted that the situation presented a difficult conundrum.
"If I stand for the squatters because they have nowhere to live, I am somewhat encouraging illegal activities. If I follow legal procedures, I feel I am against the people," he said.
No mercy on the poor people. Evicting people for a reason, maybe. But provide them first a place to live. They are not wild animals. Even domestic animals are not treated this way. What kind of government Myint Swe is running in Yangon Division?
It was just awful to remove these squatters without any relocation assistance from the municipal or the government. Deputy Director Aung Kyaw Soe and senior officials from the divisional government should plan for the relocation of these squatters first before demolishing their dwellings. What goes around comes around. Sooner or later, Karma will catch up with these senior officials with fat pockets and their mult-millionaire business men living in Pan Hlaing Estates.
Famous Burmese Proverb said " Father beats / Bully me , and I beat / bully the Big Cock " Central Govt authorized and Rangoon Division Govt forces bullied/demolished 4,000 huts to the Poor Burmese Citizens .
Govt should had a Plan ahead to relocate these poor People who couldn't afford to build decent houses, except unstable huts which can easily crush by another Typhoon. Look & examine these People , Hand to Mouth Situation , Borrow Money and built these huts , Now their Dreams were gone with the Wind . As Everybody knows Govt is to Serve the People , Not to be Serve and without thinking, Still making Mistakes , knowingly or Unknowingly . If that kind of Govt make the People Cry/Tear , and then The Govt would suffer the Same Reflection . After all, Such a Prosperous late Ne Win had No Grave as well as Dictator Stalin .
Every Govt faced these kind of Problems , Let say , in Western Countries like US, There are a lot of Homeless People and Every States Govt tried to build Shelters for Temporary staying and Encourage the Homeless to earn their New Houses . Daily Bread or Food for the Homeless People , in Union Gospel or Dorothy Day Center that No One can hardly Starve . Such a Prosperous Country like Our Country Burma and Burmese were Magically touched by late Ne Win & Military Idiots 's Magic Wand and become Poor and poorer, Landless and Homeless and Hutless and Penniless .
General Ne Win is Responsible
The Guardian of Hell
Is Rejecting The General for his Revolution
Shame! Shame!

HACKETTSTOWN — After 60 years at Robinson Aerial, John Sherman has watched technology change drastically.
"This used to be the dark room," Sherman said of the conference room now filled with rolling chairs and a white board.
Sherman, 82, began working at Robinson Aerial in 1953 following four years of service in the Air Force. His job entailed joining a pilot in a low flying plane and taking photographs from the sky, then later developing the film and creating an enlarged print.
The skill of taking photos was one he learned in the service by taking aerial shots of runways during the Korean War. By the time he arrived at the firm, then based in Newark, he had to learn the detailed process of drafting.
"We used to do everything by hand, and hang up the photographic paper on the wall," he said, explaining that the prints were also hand assembled. "Everyone that's in here I probably made."
However, today that work "is completely gone," Sherman said. "All the things I used to do, (computers) cut it all out."
"See everything had to be drafted, it wasn't done like it is today with a computer," he continued. "You had to do it with ink and all the maps were made from ink."
No longer flying and drafting, Sherman works as an archivist.
"What we're trying to do is scan all the film that we have, so that we always will have it," he said, laughing that the project might take him 20 years to finish.
The task may be time consuming, but his coworkers see Sherman and the project as a real asset.
Marketing Manager Aixa Lopez gave an example of an organization needing aerial photography of Roosevelt Island from 100 years ago, and Sherman knew off the top of his head that 1959 would be the latest the firm could supply.
"This is a very old-school company," she said. "It's a pride, having a person like him to still working here."
Switching from planes to helicopters and from drafting boards to desktops, the firm is now located in Hackettstown and employs about 25 people.
Now providing an array of different services, they work on aerial photography, mapping and surveying as well as engineering and construction management for the Department of Transportation, Turnpike Authority, Port Authority, airports and other groups.
Despite the changes in his career over time, Sherman has no plans of retiring, saying that the relationships he's built at this job keep him coming back everyday.
"I don't really think of it because I sit home enough," he said. "What the hell am I going to do when I'm alone? This way I'm out."
Sherman explained that after his wife passed away, he always had someone to talk to because of the community he feels so connected to at work and in his hometown of Netcong.
Their Municipal Building has displayed his aerial of the town for more than 20 years.
"I always look at it when I go in to pay a bill and think, 'Oh, there's my photo,'" he said.
An avid dancer and walker, Sherman is thriving and always making new friends.
"It's a lifelong job," he said. "No matter when you mention it, they're eyes light up. So you always have a conversation no matter who you're talking to, and they ask you 100 questions."
Sherman still hangs onto a few prints in his house, of work he's done including one of his home. Having photographed the World Trade Center, he said his favorite work is New York City. He pointed to one in the president's office of the Empire State Building.
"He exemplifies great work ethic, loyalty and hard work. He truly represents Robinson's culture of cherishing the value and commitment to our clients..." President Carlos Medina said.
Robinson Aerial was founded in 1936 by C.S. Robinson and has stayed in the state since 1946.

How Much More Do You Earn with a Masters of Nursing?

In the field of nursing, salaries range from fairly low for nurses with just an associate's degree and very little experience to relatively high for nurses with a doctorate in nursing and years of hands-on experience in the workforce. If you have a masters in nursing (MSN) degree, chances are that your salary expectations can fall closer to the high end of the spectrum. The time it takes to complete your master's degree once you have a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) is 18 to 24 months, but that is time and money well invested when you realize your earning potential as an advanced nurse practitioner.
In order to qualify for a master's degree in the nursing world, you have to first complete you BSN and be registered as a nurse. Afterward, you can register as an advanced registered nurse practitioner, or ARNP. Registration is important if you want to truly advance in your field, as hospitals, private practices, and other healthcare organizations will want to ensure that you're licensed to work in your state. For those with MSN degrees, salaries range, on average, from $57,000 to $88,000, but the exact average salary for any scale depends on the career path you take. Some of the most common choices, along with average annual salaries, are as follows:
- Cardiovascular ARNP: $87,985
- Director of Nursing: $87,429
- General Nurse Practitioner: $77,752
- Family Nurse Practitioner: $73,684
- Pediatrics Nurse Practitioner: $66,444
- Nurse Case Manager: $57,824
This data is all according to Payscale.com, which also reports that nurses with an MSN can expect to receive $850 to $4,000 per year in bonuses, two to four weeks of paid vacation time, and other perks. As you can imagine, the more time you spend working in your field, the higher your salary and the better your benefits will be. Over time, especially if you stay at one hospital, you'll only see your paycheck go up every year.
Your salary also depends on where you work. For example, for those with an MSN who work in a school setting, average salary is expected to be around $92,000. On the other hand, nurses with an MSN who work in hospitals make an average of $78,391 and nurses with an MSN who work in the non-profit sector make an average of $79,480. Location matters too. In general, you'll make more money if you're willing to live and work in a larger city. The states with the highest average salaries for nurses are California ($90,000), Texas ($80,202), and Pennsylvania ($79,262).
Lastly, your specialty and exact training as a nursing major play rolls in the salary you can expect once you graduate with an MSN degree. The highest salaries are found with nurses who work in cardiovascular disease, acute care, emergency room care, and care in the intensive care units of hospitals. Typically, areas of hospitals that are more fast-paced and stressful have jobs demanding higher salaries, though it depends on the need in your area. Remember, once you have your MSN, you can go on to get a doctorate in nursing, which means you'll be qualified for even higher-paying jobs.

Set your DVRs, folks, because Thursday night prime time soon will be overtaken by Denison grads. During NBC's premiere week, Steve Carell '84 will begin his final season of "The Office," and the show's next-door neighbor is a new comedy called "Outsourced," the baby of John Jeffcoat '94.
"Outsourced," directed by Ken Kwapis of "The Office," tells the story of Todd Dempsey (Ben Rappaport), who works for Mid America Novelties, a company that sells not-so-classy stuff, like foam fingers and the whoopee cushions. When the company outsources its call center to India, Dempsey is sent halfway around the world to train and manage an all-Indian sales team.
Jeffcoat, who acts as a consulting producer on the show, is well aware of the controversy that surrounds "Outsourced." Some blogs and editorials have criticized the sitcom for making light of sending jobs overseas. But Jeffcoat stands by the show's premise. "I think comedy has a great ability to tear down barriers, and 'Outsourced' is no different," he tells Denison Magazine in its upcoming fall issue. "One of the best ways to attack a difficult subject is with comedy."
Before "Outsourced" went prime time, it premiered in 2006 as a feature film that was directed and co-written by Jeffcoat. It went on to win a number of awards and rave reviews from Roger Ebert, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe, among others. Through all of that, though, the film never got a ton of attention in the states. Until now.
"Outsourced" premiers at 9:30 p.m. this Thursday, Sept. 23, on NBC.

A North Charleston businessman, Scott was elected to Congress in 2010, two years after having become the first black Republican to serve in the S.C. House.
Before then, he had served 13 years on Charleston County Council.
Scott is expected to run for the final two years of DeMints term in the 2014 general election. His ascension to the Senate also has created a special election for his old 1st Congressional District seat. Filing for that race will begin Jan. 18.

BARTOLO COLON is 38. He is not the best-conditioned pitcher on the planet. Bart's playing field should be a lily pad. He should be zapping flies, not breaking bats.
By 2009, the right arm that won the American League Cy Young Award in 2005 hung limp as a soup-kitchen dishrag. His elbow was shot. His rotator cuff was torn. The labrum had seen better days. The guy's MRI showed so many loose bodies, it looked like a 1950 TV test pattern.
It hurt like hell when he tried to throw. The rest of the time it was just a dull ache. When he threw a bullpen, kids would yell, "Hey, Bartolo, if it hurts don't throw it." That disaster of an arm led to elbow surgery and kept him out of baseball last season.

UWBG professor, Soo-Hyung Kim, just published a paper in PLoS ONE that describes his study of the impact future climate change may have on the bloom dates of flowering cherries. The authors, including Uran Chung, Liz Mack, Jin I. Yun, studied the cherry trees in Tidal Basin, Washington DC and the timing of the annual cherry festival. The cherry tree cultivars studied, Yoshino and Kwanzan, are the same cultivars growing on the UW campus campus (Quad: Yoshino, Rainer vista: Kwanzan). The authors state in the abstract:
"Our results demonstrate the potential impacts of climate change on the timing of cherry blossoms and illustrate the utility of a simple process-based phenology model for developing adaptation strategies to climate change in horticulture, conservation planning, restoration and other related disciplines."
The full text of the paper is available on the PLoS website: Chung U, Mack L, Yun JI, Kim S-H. 2011. Predicting the timing of cherry blossoms in Washington, DC and Mid-Atlantic States in response to climate change. PLoS ONE 6, e27439.

James O'Brien at Pro Hockey Talk takes a look at Eastern Conference players who will be under big-time pressure next season including Brad Richards…
Brad Richards – One thing that was lost in all the hype about Richards' unquestionable talents was his immediate struggles after signing his last huge contract, so here's hoping that history doesn't repeat itself there and compared to the Rangers' own recent woes with costly additions. The difference between Richards and guys like Chris Drury and Bobby Holik is that he's a legitimate first line center while those Rangers free agent blunders were hopeful top guys. That being said, if Richards falls on his face, he'll be just another of Glen Sather's Follies.
…yesterday, I posted that the heat was on Gaborik, now today the pressure's on Richards. I think it's safe to say that there will be enormous pressure on both these guys to produce this year.
…btw, don't like hearing Richards struggled out of the gate after signing his last big contract. Not as easy to get yourself righted in New York.

REPORTS of several investigators have indicated that vitamin B12 has growthpromoting properties.1 The possibility that this compound might be of especial benefit to premature infants, as an accelerator of growth and hematopoiesis, has been put to test by a number of clinics, with entirely negative results.2
The present study is concerned with 117 infants admitted to the premature nursery of Baltimore City Hospitals in 1950. Studies were made of the weight gain, the hemoglobin levels, and the red blood cell counts of two groups of premature infants; one group comprised infants who received a daily oral supplement of 30 μ of a solution of crystalline vitamin B12, and the other was a control group.
Upon admission to the premature nursery infants were assigned alternately to the vitamin B12 group and to the control group. All infants received similar care during the first week of life.

Normally this time of year is a celebration in Munich. The Oktoberfest is about to get started, and FC Bayern's sitting pretty in the top quadrant of the Bundesliga.
Paulaner's giving away beer at the Allianz Arena, Bayern's in 14th place; only having wrestled 2 points in 3 matches., and we're playing Wolfsburg? Sounds like a recipe for disastrous fun to me…
So, my intention was to come home from work today and write about Bayern's Champions League draw (Juventus, Bordeaux, Haifa - not bad, and you'll have more on that from me later), and then write again about our (can I say…?) crappy start to the Bundesliga season. The first assignment a bit less gloomy and depressing than the second.
However, a few hours ago, after I was madly texting footie-friends for the Champions League draw results, I snuck outside work and called one of my best buds. (I will probably get in trouble for that sentence.)
Looking at Mainz tomorrow, here we sit in 11th place, taking two points out of a possible six. Should we be concerned? I don't think so… yet.
"Begin at the beginning, and go on till you come to the end; then stop."
---Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll
Only a quote from a Lewis Carroll book could do, ahem, justice to the nonsensical saga starring Franck Ribery this summer. Rumors, hard statements, false quotes, exorbitant sums of money, comical posturing, hush-hush negotiations? This tale has it all.
We start in late April…
"It would be difficult for me to stay if we do not reach this goal," Ribery says about Bayern qualifying for the upcoming Champions League season. Drool spontaneously erupts from the mouths of several leading European managers--- and Ribery's agents. Inter shows interest. (I had to get the "Special One" in there.)
On in to May…
El Mundo Deportivo claims representatives from Barcelona and Bayern have met with Ribery's agents and agreed to a cash plus player deal. A few days later, Manchester United denies putting together a record deal for the Frenchman (Although, this is when they thought they were still going to have Ronaldo.)

Mieli Thun's "Sulla" Honey is produced in Cosenza-Calabria, a region full of honeysuckle bushes. This unique honey has a highly crystallized texture, with a honeycomb white color. It has notable floral aromas with a refreshing sweetness. Try spreading it on a sliced of toast for a light breakfast or pairing it with young cheeses.
Mieli Thun
In 1992, Andrea Paternoster inherited the family business from his grandfather, excited to continue Mieli Thun's tradition of creating unique honeys inspired by nature. Andrea travels across Italy year-round with his bees, allowing them to pollinate with plants as they begin to bloom. Through this special process, Mieli Thun honeys capture the unique aromatic character of single flowers.

Museums in major cities often will welcome visitors for free at the tail-end of the day (especially on days when business tends to be slower). In some cases, this means the museum will be, ironically, packed with people—like NYC's MoMA on Friday nights. For the sake of artistic enjoyment and appreciation, most museums will at least offer a discount at some point during the week—or use the term 'recommended donation' instead of 'admission fee.' Here are some tips for when to go to some of Toronto's best museums.
The MOCCA (Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art): Original and often mind-bending, the MOCCA is technically 'pay what you can' Tuesdays through Sundays from 11am–6pm. Current exhibitions include The Shape of Things with 1960's works and Matter as Subject, which features local Toronto artists.
Art Gallery of Ontario (Musée des beaux-arts de l'Ontario): The Permanent Collection has free entry on Wednesdays from 6–8:30pm. The AGO currently has exhibitions on Picasso, Revolutionary Russia, Iain Baxter, and others. A Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics and Painting exhibition is coming mid-October, 2012.
The Bata Shoe Museum: Thursday evenings from 5–8pm are 'pay what you can.' This museum is truly one-of-a-kind and includes hundreds of pieces of footwear that are historical, wacky, or famous. You'll never look at your own shoes the same again!
Textile Museum of Canada: Normal admission is $15, but on Wednesdays from 5–8pm, the TMC is 'pay what you can.' This place has more than just your average cloth—in fact, it has 2,000 years' worth of artifacts, garments, and ceremonial pieces from all around the world.
The ROM (Royal Ontario Museum): The window of time is small for a museum this size, but you can get in for half-price on Fridays after 4:30pm (the regular rates used to be $24, but they've since dropped to $15). The ROM has six million objects and covers practically everything from natural history to international cultures.
Also, Doors Open Toronto, an annual, weekend-long cultural celebration, allows guests to enter well over 100 historical and cultural buildings for free during the festival (May 25–26 in 2013). Among the numerous locations are cemeteries, factories, mansions and breweries, some of them not normally open to the public at all.
