Stylish yet functional
March 5, 2016
This is a very pretty water jug although smaller than anticipated. More like a size for one person or two with small glasses but it looks lovely. I like this colour best too because it is subtle but pleasing. It is very comfortable to hold.

Stunning color and functional
October 26, 2013
The color is stunning. It goes well with Kartio Sea Blue mouth blown (thin) tumblers. They are exactly the same color. Perfect. It is good for Katio Medium Tumblers as well for daily use. The shape is attractive and also functional. It is easy to hold and pour water. This mouth blown pitcher makes your table more elegant.
Pros:Beautiful color. Design.

Pitcher is great

The product is excellent and replaces a broken pitcher. However, the site failed to put a picture alongside the color choices and I may have ordered the wrong blue!

The metric system, the measurement system used by the entire world save the United States (and Myanmar/Burma and Liberia) saw a short-lived promotion in the US during the 70s, as the government made an unsuccessful attempt at converting the country to the metric system.

Property description
If you are looking for somewhere you can completely relax, in sophisticated, extremely comfortable surroundings, then look no further than 'The Palm'. At the end of a hot and busy day golfing, visiting the Theme Parks, or shopping, just imagine retreating to this very private and exclusive Golf & Country Club home.
Kick off your shoes, pour a cold beer. Chill out by your totally private pool, listen to some music, then maybe later have a cook-out on the electric BBQ/Grill. You can check your e-mails in peace out on the pool deck or in the office/den, thanks to the wireless internet ..........and then before bed, what could be nicer than a soak in the bubbling hot tub/spa, gazing up at the stars? The sheltered, south-facing outdoor living area is truly private so no curious neighbors can spy on your sun-bathing/swimming activities....this vacation home really is a little piece of paradise!
'The Palm' is all on one level, so no stairs to worry the elderly or very young. One of the largest 4 bedroom vacation rentals in the Orlando area (2500 sq ft), it benefits from two totally self-contained master bedroom suites and is of a unique design and layout. It was originally built as a private home, so it has custom finishes and many upgrades unusual in a vacation rental. 'The Palm' has been expensively furnished and equipped from new - and unlike many of the Florida pool homes, enjoys a COMPLETELY private swimming pool & Jacuzzi hot tub with an extra-large South-facing sunbathing and al-fresco dining area in a sheltered courtyard setting.
The south-facing pool gets the sun all day. Electric pool heating is available if required (recommended during September - May). We have installed a (removable) pool security fence for your peace of mind if you have young children playing around the pool area.
We have furnished the pool area as an extra outside living room - there is a full-sized dining table, with loungers and another small table and chairs. Plants, ceiling fans, the built-in electric barbeque/grill and adjustable atmospheric lighting will all add to your outdoor living enjoyment.
The west facing rear of the house overlooks the Golf Course (16th Fairway) - we like to step outside the rear door to enjoy the wonderful views in the evening sunshine, or take a stroll on the course.
You'll sleep well in the beautifully-decorated king and queen-sized bedrooms which have super-comfortable pillow-top mattresses & quality linens together with their own en-suite bathrooms (lots of privacy for two couples traveling together)- each of these bedrooms has direct access to the pool area. Two good twin bedrooms (without pool access) share the third bathroom. One of the twin rooms can be converted to a King if required and specified when booking. All the bedrooms have their own TV and a DVD player.
You can spread out and be totally comfortable in the two spacious living rooms, each equipped with a large flat screen HD TV. Enjoy a game of pool on the professional, slate-bed billiard table in the Living Room.
The fully-equipped kitchen with its granite tops and separate laundry room make life that much more pleasant for when you have to make the effort to cook or do some laundry.
There is unlimited high-speed Internet access and you can make free calls to the US and Canada from the house phone.
It's an easy stroll to the Clubhouse with its excellent restaurant and bar. Less than 5 minutes drive (or you can walk - if you feel energetic!) to a 24 hr Walmart supermarket, Winn-Dixie and other shops and eateries.
There are at least 10 other Pay & Play Golf courses nearby; so keen golfers could play a different course everyday.
In summary, this is a superb privately-owned vacation home, within easy reach attractions of Disney and Orlando, but away from the mayhem.... And just perfect for those who prefer peace, quiet and privacy.
As English owners we try visit at least 3 times a year to ensure that the villa is continually upgraded and maintained to our very high standards.

Manager info
Year Purchased: 2004
About: Hi, we are Iain and Amanda Burrup. We live in the beautiful Cotswolds area of the United Kingdom, and have owned 'The Palm', our dream Florida vacation home since 2004. We visit at least 3 times a year, to get our sunshine fix and for Iain to play a little golf. We have 4 grand-daughters, who can't wait visit the Disney parks and the other great child-friendly attractions of the area! Regular visiting also gives us an opportunity to ensure that our home is being maintained and cared for properly by our management company. Each time we go, we always find ourselves shopping for little extras that we feel will enhance our guests' experience. If you decide to choose 'The Palm' for your Florida vacation, we hope you will enjoy it as much as we do! Best wishes, Iain and Amanda.
Why Southern Dunes (Haines City, FL, USA):
As far as we are concerned (being 'oldies') Southern Dunes is located in one of the best locations if you want to visit all the Theme Parks and do the shop till you drop thing - because you can easily do all that and then return to a beautiful peaceful location to re-charge your batteries for the next exciting but possibly exhausting day.........
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Our villa 'The Palm' is located in one of the best positions at Southern Dunes - it was one of the earlier villas to be built, which means it is very well spaced (the newer ones are SO close together) that you are not really aware of your neighbours. And with our UNIQUE pool area, which is totally enclosed, you never hear or see your fellow vacationers.........you can just while away the hours relaxing in total privacy (oh nearly forgot to mention you might just hear the odd golf ball land on the pool cage or roof due to some inexperienced golfer misjudging his tee-off from the 16th tee just behind the villa......)

Oscar-winning British actor Ben Kingsley has signed on to do the voice-over for the loyal panther Bagheera in Jon Favreau's new version of The Jungle Book. The 70-year-old is set to join the cast of Disney's new live-action version of their classic 1967 animation, playing the wise black panther who watches over orphan boy Mowgli, reports contactmusic.com.
Based on Rudyard Kipling's book, Jon Favreau's fresh take on the story follows Mowgli's adventures in the jungle with his sidekicks Bagheera and Baloo the bear. Actor Idris Elba is already on board to voice villainous tiger Shere Khan, while Scarlett Johansson will lend her voice to Kaa, Mowgli's charming python ally. 12 Years a Slave breakout star Lupita Nyong'o has also been cast as Rakcha, the wolf who raises the boy as her own.

Resource Mobilization Approach
The resource-mobilization approach is a theory that seeks to explain the emergence of social movements.
Learning Objective
Use the resource-mobilization theory to explain some of the successful social movements in history, such as the Civil Rights Movement
Key Points
- The resource-mobilization theory asserts that social movements form when people who share grievances are able to mobilize resources and take action.
- This theory places resources at the center of both the emergence and success of social movements.
- In this case, resources include knowledge, money, media, labor, solidarity, legitimacy, and internal and external support from a powerful elite.
- The centrality of resources to the success of social movements explains why some discontented people are able to form movements while others are not.
- This theory has a number of underlying assumptions regarding movement membership, movement organization and broader societal factors that influence movement formation and development.
- This theory has been criticized for placing too much emphasis on resources, particularly financial resources, as the success of some movements depends more on the time and labor of members rather than on money.
opportunity structures
Exogenous factors which limit or empower collective actors (social movements).
A complaint or annoyance; also a formal complaint.
Something that one uses to achieve an objective, e.g. raw materials or personnel.
Full Text
Resource-Mobilization Theory emphasizes the importance of resources in social movement development and success. Resources are understood here to include: knowledge, money, media, labor, solidarity, legitimacy, and internal and external support from a power elite. The theory argues that social movements develop when individuals with grievances are able to mobilize sufficient resources to take action. The emphasis on resources explains why some discontented/deprived individuals are able to organize while others are not. Resource mobilization theory also divides social movements according to their position among other social movements. This helps sociologists understand them in relation to other social movements; for example, how much influence does one theory or movement have on another?
Some of the assumptions of the theory include:
- there will always be grounds for protest in modern, politically pluralistic societies because there is constant discontent (i.e., grievances or deprivation); this de-emphasizes the importance of these factors as it makes them ubiquitous
- actors are rational and they are able to weigh the costs and benefits from movement participation
- members are recruited through networks; commitment is maintained by building a collective identity and continuing to nurture interpersonal relationships
- movement organization is contingent upon the aggregation of resources
- social movement organizations require resources and continuity of leadership
- social movement entrepreneurs and protest organizations are the catalysts which transform collective discontent into social movements; social movement organizations form the backbone of social movements
- the form of the resources shapes the activities of the movement (e.g., access to a TV station will result in the extensive use TV media)
- movements develop in contingent opportunity structures, which are external factors that may either limit or bolster the movement, that influence their efforts to mobilize. Examples of opportunity structures may include elements, such as the influence of the state, a movement's access to political institutions, etc. As each movement's response to the opportunity structures depends on the movement's organization and resources, there is no clear pattern of movement development nor are specific movement techniques or methods universal.
Critics of this theory argue that there is too much of an emphasis on resources, especially financial resources. Some movements are effective without an influx of money and are more dependent upon the movement of members for time and labor (e.g., the civil rights movement in the US).

Rating: 5 stars 25 25 reviews
10100 Connecticut Ave Kensington MD 20895 USA
Parenting can be a difficult task in our increasingly complex society. Since its founding in 1982, PEP has taught positive parenting classes and workshops to help parents raise children who are competent, caring, and responsible. The program philosophy is based on the work of Dr. Alfred Adler and Dr. Rudolph Dreikurs, whose theories of positive parenting promote mutual respect, personal responsibility, cooperation and social inclusiveness and social interest.
Target demographics:
parents and others who care for children learn positive ways to help children grow.
Direct beneficiaries per year:
over 5,000 parents learn new and better ways to raise their children.
Geographic areas served:
the Washington DC area
Over 175 volunteers join together to offer 150+ parenting education courses, workshops and community talks each year. Classes range from 1 to 10 sessions in length, meeting once a week for two hours. Over 1,800 different parents take the classes each year. Classes are taught by highly trained volunteers and are held in schools, churchs, synagogues, and community centers. Parents pay a fee for the classes, and fund raising supports the remaining 45% of costs. Need based scholarships are also available. In addition to the parenting education classes, workshops for teachers, and other child education professionals are offered. One time talks on positive parenting are given at PTAs, community groups and corporations. A bookstore and lending library are maintained by volunteers at the office location. PEP maintains a web site that offers updated information on classes, class status, special programs and items of concern to parents. Past issues of the newsletter (from 1990) are available on-line. A summer day camp for tweens with friendship and social skills challenges is run by child development professionals. A small staff (two full time and seven part time; 4.5 FTEs) provides support in publications, marketing and scheduling presentations.

PEP has given me powerful strategies to use with my child and in our child based business. I use the concepts as often as I remember with my son and they work beautifully. I also teach my instructors many of these strategies & concepts so they can apply in the classroom and camp setting. PEP's presentation of Adlerian Theory is on target and pragmatic, now I can respond with a loving message vs an emotional reaction or threat.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Offer a weekly or biweekly support group, at a cost, to help parents get to the Loving place faster and to deal with the with the emotional effects of their own upbringing.
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

HIS does not honor their rebates, beware, I had a 20 dollar rebate on another card, HIS claimed they didn't receive the invoice even though a pdf scan of the documentation clearly shows page 2 of the invoice, guess they conveniently lost page one. Avoid his if you want your rebate
Other Thoughts:
if your counting on your rebate being honored, don't bother.

Havana Hosts Its First Independent Gay Pride Parade, Sort Of
It's quite a human rights paradox. Next month, the Cuban parliament will discuss a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage on the Communist isle, yet GLBT citizens are, like all Cubans, discouraged from gathering and expressing any sort of political message that doesn't toe the party line. Though, efforts to boost GLBT rights have been accepted in the Communist Party over the past decade, the government still tried to put the kibosh on what was Havana's first non-government approved gay pride parade.
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights Observatory, lead by Leannes Imbert, organized the event. Though, Mariela Castro, daughter of president Raul, champions some GLBT rights as head of the government's National Center for Sex Education (CENESEX), the small march was planned without her consent. The government tried to dissuade people from attending.
The parade was more of a spirited stroll down Prado Avenue in Havana yesterday, complete with dancing and rainbow flag waving. Because the event was not an official protest and did not interfere with traffic, the group did not need to obtain permits. The AFP reports that the march proceeded for about 1,600 feet and only attracted a few dozen participants.
According to El Nuevo Herald, however, Mariela Castro's group tried to organize several other events to distract from the march. Officials had also warned several gay-rights activists to stay away from the event.
Upcoming Events
CENESEX holds an annual "Day Against Homophobia" celebration, but an official pride parade has never been held in the country.
Though, Fidel Castro has a history of prosecution of gays and homophobic remarks, gay rights on the island have improved some over the past decade. However, Imbert and other activists don't think they've come far enough.
"This is the time when we have to come out into the light and show everyone the LGBT community in Cuba, which is not only CENESEX,'' Imbert was quoted as saying.
The Observatory will "demand" respect for the rights of gay Cubans, she added, "which up to now have been denied. There are many violations still -- although the form has changed somewhat if we compare it to past years."
Though, not all gay rights activists in Miami think Observatory is a fully independent organization. Herb Sosa, president of the Unity Coalition, thinks the group must be part of some government propaganda effort, an assertion he bases on a hunch.
Dissident blogger Yoani Sanchez however viewed the stroll as a small sign of progress, and applauded the group for hosting the event.

Medical Policy: 06.01.06
Original Effective Date: September 2000
Reviewed: July 2016
Revised: July 2016
Benefit determinations are based on the applicable contract language in effect at the time the
services were rendered. Exclusions, limitations or exceptions may apply. Benefits may vary
based on contract, and individual member benefits must be verified. Wellmark determines medical
necessity only if the benefit exists and no contract exclusions are applicable. This medical
policy may not apply to FEP. Benefits are determined by the Federal Employee Program.
This Medical Policy document describes the status of medical technology at the time the document was developed. Since that time, new technology may have emerged or new medical literature may have been published. This Medical Policy will be reviewed regularly and be updated as scientific and medical literature becomes available.
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is a noninvasive test that has been reported to detect the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) by measuring the location and extent of calcium in the coronary arteries. Tests to determine CAC scoring include:
ECBT and spiral CT or helical CT may be used as an alternative to conventional CT scanning due to their faster throughput. Their speed of image acquisition gives them unique value for imaging of the moving heart. The rapid image acquisition time virtually eliminates motion artifact related to cardiac contraction, permitting visualization of the calcium in the epicardial coronary arteries. Software permits quantification of calcium area and density, which are translated into calcium scores. Calcium scores have been investigated as a technique for detecting CAD, both as a diagnostic technique in symptomatic patients to rule out an atherosclerotic etiology of symptoms or, in asymptomatic patients, as an adjunctive method for risk stratification for CAD.
ECBT and spiral CT or helical CT (multi-detector CT) for CAC measurement generally takes 10 to 15 minutes and requires only a few seconds of scanning time.
Coronary calcium levels can be expressed in many ways. The most widely used is the Agatston score, which is a weighted summed total of calcified coronary artery area observed on computed tomography. This value can be expressed as an absolute number, commonly ranging from 0 to 400. These values can be translated into age and sex-specific percentile values.
The rationale for measuring calcium in coronary arteries is that it measures coronary atherosclerosis. Coronary calcium is present in coronary atherosclerosis, but the atherosclerosis detected may or may not be causing ischemia or symptoms. Such a measure may be correlated with the presence of critical coronary stenosis or serve as a measure of the patient's tendency toward atherosclerosis and future coronary disease. Therefore, it could serve as a variable to be used in risk assessment calculation purposes of determining appropriate preventative treatment in asymptomatic patients. Alternatively, in other clinical scenarios, it might help determine whether there is atherosclerotic etiology or component to the presenting clinical problem in symptomatic patients, thus helping to direct further workup for the clinical problem. Most clinical studies have examined the use of coronary calcium for its potential use in estimating the risk of future coronary heart disease (CAD) events.
Despite the potential benefits of coronary artery calcium screening, it is also subject to a number of limitations and therefore, there is disagreement on its value:
There is extensive evidence on the predictive value of coronary artery calcium (CAC) score for cardiovascular disease among asymptomatic patients, and this evidence demonstrates that scanning has incremental predictive accuracy above traditional risk factor measurement. However, evidence from high-quality studies that demonstrate that the use of CAC score measurement in clinical practice leads to changes in patient management or in individual risk behaviors that improve cardiac outcomes is lacking. At least 1 randomized controlled trial suggests that the use of CAC score measurement in clinical practice may be associated with improved cardiac risk profiles, but an association between CAC score measurement with improved outcomes has not yet been demonstrated in other studies.
CAC scoring has a potential role as a diagnostic test to rule out coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients presenting with symptoms or as a "gatekeeper" test before invasive imaging is performed. Evidence from retrospective studies suggests that negative results on CAC scoring rules out CAD with good reliability. However, further prospective trials would be needed to demonstrate that such a strategy is effective in practice and is at least as effective as alternate strategies for ruling out CAD. To demonstrate that use of calcium scores improves the efficiency or accuracy of the diagnostics work up of symptomatic patients, rigorous studies that define exactly how calcium scores are used in combination with other tests in the triage of patients would be necessary. Retrospective and prospective studies have been mixed in their findings about whether CAC scores add incremental predictive value to cardiac computed tomography angiography findings in predicting outcomes for symptomatic patients with possible CAD.
Because of the lack of high-quality evidence demonstrating improved outcomes from the use of CAC score either as a screening test to risk stratify patients or as a diagnostic test in symptomatic patients, the use of CAC scoring is considered investigational.
Practice Guidelines and Position Statements
In 2009 the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force issued a recommendation regarding using non-traditional risk factors in coronary heart disease risk assessment, current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of using the non-traditional risk factors discussed in this statement to screen asymptomatic men and women with no history of CHD to prevent CHD events.
The non-traditional risk factors included in this recommendation are high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), ankle-brachial index (ABI), leukocyte count, fasting blood glucose level, periodontal disease, carotid intima-media thickness (carotid IMT), coronary artery calcification (CAC) score on electron beam computed tomography (EBCT), homocysteine level, and lipoprotein(a) level.
American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF) and the American Heart Association (AHA):
2010 practice guideline by American College of Cardiology Foundation and the American Heart Association, for assessment of cardiovascular risk in asymptomatic adults: Computed Tomography for Coronary Calcium Scoring:
In 2012, the American College of Cardiology (ACC)/ American Heart Association (AHA) released guidelines for the diagnosis and management of patients with stable ischemic heart disease that include some recommendations related to CAC scoring.
In 2014, ACC/AHA issued focused update to the 2012 guideline on the diagnosis and management of patients with stable ischemic heart disease with no additional recommendations related to CAC scoring.
In 2013, the American College of Cardiology (ACA)/American Heart Association (AHA) released guidelines for the assessment of cardiovascular risk:
Not applicable
Coronary artery calcium scoring, either by electron beam computed tomography or multislice computed tomography (EBCT) or Helical CT or multi-slice spiral computed tomography scanner is considered investigational.
Based on the peer reviewed medical literature because of the lack of high-quality evidence demonstrating improved clinical outcomes or impact to treatment management from the use of coronary artery calcium (CAC) score either as a screening tests to risk stratify patients or as a diagnostic test in symptomatic patients, the use of coronary artery calcium scoring is considered investigational.
