About MeMy name's Krystyne and I'm a college student currently studying in Daytona Beach. I am extremely goal oriented and am motivated very easily. What I hope to gain from MM is to connect with more photographers/artists and continue to build a strong portfolio with a variety of work. I am progressively making a future out of this, so as much experience with different artists I can get the more I'm always improving. If you feel we can work together and create some beautiful artwork please contact me, my schedule is fairly flexible. I am signed and have been published, I am up for all types of work and adapt very easily. I am still doing TFP occasionally but the ideas and photos must be stellar, one of a kind or something you feel is unique or impressive quality to add to both of our portfolios.
BTW: I have no tattoos or piercings on my body, and don't plan on getting any.

Peter Smitham, chairman of Schroder Ventures, said the fund would attempt to cash in on a wave of corporate and industrial restructuring sweeping through continental Europe. He said: "Corporations all around Europe are re-evaluating their strategies and focusing on core skills. The new fund with its flexibility to invest anywhere in Europe is ideally placed to help."
He denied that the creation of a pan-European fund was a tacit admission the venture capital market in the UK had become too competitive for attractive returns to be possible. Recent deals, such as the sale to Investcorp of Granada's Welcome Break chain, have shown private equity investors prepared to pay increasingly high prices to secure deals in a market where vendors have become more aware of the real value of their unwanted subsidiaries.
The Schroder fund replaces the firm's existing country specific investments in a move that was seen by rivals yesterday as playing to the current fashion in the US for pan-European investment opportunities. Other US investors among the 34 funds involved in the $1bn capital raising included Metropolitan Life. The World Bank is an investor as are PGGM, the Dutch health sector pension fund, and ABP, that country's civil service pension fund.
Charles Sherwood, a partner at Schroder Ventures, said the size of the fund meant large deals could be considered, using perhaps $150m of equity and a further $350m of debt. No specific deals were announced and the fund is expected to be fully invested over a period of five years.
Schroders concentrates on so-called difficult deals, companies that require intensive management attention to create the high returns required by investors to compensate for the risks inherent in venture capital. Past investments have included the acquisition of tea manufacturer Tetley from Allied Domecq and the purchase of Parker Pen from Manpower.
The European fund will also focus on family businesses in countries such as Germany where relatively undeveloped stock markets give business owners fewer opportunities to cash in their stakes. The unfolding privatisation process is expected to throw up opportunities, while the trend towards globalisation should mean increasing numbers of companies will be looking to shed divisions that are seen as unable to compete on an international stage.
Schroders said investors had been attracted by its net return of 25 per cent a year since it was formed in 1985. That compared, the firm said, with an 14 per cent return on the stock markets in the various European countries in which it operates.Reuse content

Direct measurements have been made of the torques required to produce angular acceleration and retardation of liquid helium II contained in a can filled with closely spaced disks at a temperature of 1$\cdot $27 degrees K. The acceleration and retardation processes are not equivalent, and it is suggested that this asymmetry is due to the presence of vortex lines in the uniformly rotating superfluid. It is found that the forces producing superfluid acceleration are dependent on the past history of the helium and are greatly enhanced if the disk surfaces are roughened; furthermore, the superfluid flow shows a strong tendency to be macroscopically irrotational during retardation. These properties suggest that the forces are associated with turbulence in the superfluid, and it is found that a consistent description of the results can be given in terms of a mutual friction due to such turbulence. Values of the mutual friction appropriate to a steady flow are deduced and found to be in good agreement with values deduced from the results of other isothermal flow experiments; they can be represented, above a critical velocity, by a modification of the law introduced by Gorter & Mellink (1949), namely F$_{sn}$ = A$\rho _{s}\rho _{n}$($|$v$_{s}$ - v$_{n}|$ - v$_{0}$)$^{2}$ (v$_{s}$ - v$_{n}$), with A = 23 $\pm $ 2 poise$^{-1}$, v$_{0}$ = -0$\cdot $6 $\pm $ 0$\cdot $2 cm s$^{-1}$. Below the critical velocity a persistent current with a lifetime of at least 25 min has been observed. In the last section quantitative results on the growth and decay of turbulence in a non-equilibrium situation are presented, and laws describing the growth and decay processes are formulated.

"Just think about it," said Colin. His dark hair fell down his pale face, and he tranfixed me with his bright blue stare. I shifted under the attention as he explained again. "What if it was only the bad ones that we killed? The ones that were good we could recruit!"
"There aren't that many good vampires, Colin. I would hardly even consider myself good, much less any other ones!" I looked at him for a long period of time.
"What's the matter with the idea?"
"It's contradictory and hypocritical!" I exclaimed. "It defies all logic!"
"Then forget the logic! Look, do you get what I'm asking you?" he asked.
"Yes," I replied. "You want me and the rest of our old group to help you slay other vampires. Which is usually considered treason in most countries."
"Alright, now is there something wrong with avenging lives that were taken by careless vampires?" he asked. I paused, looking at his perspective. It did make some sense...
"But we're killing off our own kind! Doesn't that seem morally wrong in a sense?" I asked. "I know that I'm a bloodsucker, but it doesn't mean that I lost my moral compass when I was Turned, you know."
"It isn't wrong if we're doing the mortals a service, now is it?" Colin asked. His idea was starting to make more and more sense. I thought about it for a long moment, and then looked at him again.
"I'm in," I said. He pulled back his elbow quickly, a motion of saying, 'yes!'. "But only the bad ones."
"Definitely," he replied. "Only the bad ones."
I nodded, and he embraced mwith his powerful arms. He was crushing me, and I had to push him away so that I wouldn't die... again. We were walking, him talking excitedly about how good we were going to be, and how we were heroes to the mortal community even though they didn't know it yet. We walked back into the old assassin headquarters and gathered everyone into the office. There was a stage there, and I was in the crowd while Colin stepped onto the stage.
There were about fifteen vampires including Colin and I. I watched as the silence fell over the crowd and everyone stopped darting around at inhuman speed. Colin began to speak, and the vampires turned and watched him. "Hey, guys. I'm Colin. You know, the one who... um... killed Dan." Cheers erupted from the crowd, people whistling in approval. "So, I have this idea."
"Just because you killed Dan doesn't mean you get to act like our leader!" yelled out one of them. I recognized the voice. It was Zephyr Gray. He was rash, and never thought before he spoke.
"Zephyr, let him talk," I said.
"You aren't my boss, bud. No one is now!" Zephyr exclaimed from across the room. I was two inches from his face in less than half a second, staring him down.
"Are you asking to die twice, Zephyr?" I asked. "You know what I'm capable of. Now I suggest you listen to Colin before I get a little more angry." Zephyr simply nodded his head, and I walked back to my spot.
Colin explained his idea, and when he went over the details, several people agreed to it. "Why not? If it redeems us, then let's go for it!" said one of them.
"Let's do this guys!"
"Then its settled," said Colin. "We slay!"

Hand Analysis
Hello guys, I'm new to the forum and a beginner in poker so I would like to know how you would have played this hand.
So I was in a cash game (with play money) and I was playing against three opponents, I was on the button and opponent A was on the SB and opponent B was on the BB. They were both quite tight.
The blinds were: 5/10
I had: 970 chips
Player A had: 1,369 chips
Player B had: 390 chips
So my hole cards were 10♥Q♠
I decide to call the BB (I know I shouldn't have limped), player A calls (SB), and player B checks.
Now the flop comes and I flop a straight
Flop: K♠J♠A♣
Player A bets 120 chips and Player B folds. Now with a board like that and counting the fact that player A is tight (and could possibly have a flush draw) I decided to just check.
Now on the turn comes J♥ and player A checks the action to me and I decide to check back, (thinking that he might fold if I make a bet, because not only could he think that I had the straight, there was now the possibility that I could have the set of jacks).
On the river comes an 8♥ and he checks again, now I decide to make a value bet of 520 chips and Player A folds and I receive a pot of 258 chips.
How would you have played to extract more value from Player A?
How do you check when the player bet 120 on the flop? I would have reraised after the flop to see where he/she stands. I wouldn't slowplay or limp with two spades out there on the flop.
You got to realize too, this is for play money.

Serious Sam: The First Encounter
- RATING: M - Mature
- DEVELOPER(S): Croteam
- PUBLISHER: Gathering
- RELEASE DATE: Mar 21, 2001
When aliens ruled by the evil Mental attack Earth, it is up to Sam "Serious" Stone, one of the toughest guys on Earth, to time-travel back to Ancient Egypt in order to change history by defeating Mental back in the ancient times. The First Encounter tells about the first part of Sam's voyage through Egypt.
Serious Sam: The First Encounter is a high-adrenaline first-person shooter heavily focused on frantic arcade-style single player action. The game goes "back to roots" of the first-person shooter genre; it does not feature intricate story, character interaction or the need for careful tactics which were becoming common in the FPS's of its time, instead concentrating on epic battles where the player, armed with powerful weaponry, takes on tens or even hundreds of enemies at once.
Sam travels through deserts, Egyptian temples, palaces and cities, killing countless enemies and occasionally stopping to solve a more or less easy puzzle. There are many weapons to be found; they are all classic FPP armaments – shotguns, chainguns, rocket launchers etc., up to the most powerful weapon: a cannon which shoots devastating cannonballs. There are also many pick-ups, of course, containing ammo, health and armor.
The enemies come in many varieties – headless suicide bombers, giant bio-mechanical creatures that shoot missiles, scorpions with chainguns, bulls that charge at Sam, etc. There are also a couple of powerful bosses.
Sam has a mini-computer which contains basic info about the levels he's travelling through, weapons he collects and enemies he kills.

Severe stomach pain
It's been 3-4 years my father is suffering from stomach pain. After 4-5 hours of having meal , belching,vomiting and boating pain starts. Sometimes his stomach inflates. We consulted doctor and he advised to do endoscopy test, but test showed no problem . h-pylori test was also negative. So doctor told that it is due to weak intestine. He gave some medicines but my father could barely take those medicines because they were causing high acidity problem. Doctor also told us to avoid food which causes pain but we are really confused because sometimes same food pains and sometime not. He has lost nearly 20kg weight due to this. Please help us. And also he has habit of having carbureted drinks when his stomach pains. Is it OK or wrong?

For complete relief take ayurvedic medicines and do Panchakarma like Vaman and Virechan from ayurvedic consultant. Due to Pitta aggregation such types of complaints occur, In endoscopy it doesn't show any problem but complaints still persists. So remove the pitta by panchakarma treatment and after that follow proper diet and lifestyle

This is the case with the barmaid Candice Armstrong, 28, from Walthamstow in London, whose steroid abuse has effectively turned her into a man, to steroids buy. Once a slender, pretty blonde, Candice is now a hulking brunette with muscles and body hair that sprouts from her back, chest, and upper lip. Along with excess body hair and acne, her clitoris has swelled so much that it has become a mini penis. Her breasts have also suffered and now hang lifeless from her hugely overdeveloped pectoral muscles. Candice had no intention of becoming so masculine when she began taking the drug, to steroids buy. However, she thinks that it's too late for her to stop. Both of his world title reigns were represented by the Big Gold Belt. However, in this case its important to remember there is no aromatization going on, there is nothing for an AI to inhibit. They will still be the most effective means of protection due to their reducing properties, but some will find SERMs to be enough. As an added bonus, SERMs will not negatively affect cholesterol, while AIs most certainly will. A final note, controlling excess water retention is very important. If excess water retention gets out of hand it can have a negative impact on blood pressure. The androgenic side effects of Anadrol can include acne, accelerated hair loss in those predisposed to male pattern baldness and body hair growth. These are, however, very genetically based side effects.

Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies #esa #wrb #nogobritain
Support for the genuinely sick or disabled is so entrenched in British thinking that it doesn't get questioned until people are in that position themselves and discover that at the time they are most vulnerable those nice little bungalows and free cars they thought would be there to enablee the practicalities of life never really existed. It's why slashing welfare can be done on the premise that it won't affect 'people like me', because until you don't know any better you'd assume people like me are getting all they need to support their ill health or disability.
We've had 18 years of laws the government insist make Britain accessible to disabled people, laws now being used to justify removing financial benefits designed to help us pay for those access needs. Laws which have seen great progress but that are so poorly enforced that a Baroness found herself needing to crawl off a train dragging her wheelchair and a famous yachtsman told he could not travel on a train because "those things will damage the floors".
Against that background of promises to always protect the most vulnerable its proved impossible to explain to the public that the welfare cuts are disproportionately falling upon sick and disabled people. Impossible to demonstrate that this was in fact a giant exercise in simply redefining what to be sick or disabled means, whilst the media floundered around struggling to understand the different names of benefits, what they are for, let alone what losing that support might mean. As campaigners, we always knew what that would mean was being unable to alert the public to the long term human consequences of this until after the changes became law and enough time had passed to collect evidence of what happens to people.
That evidence is still at best patchy, and will gradually emerge over the next 18 months as the tribunal service struggle to process soaring number of appeals against denial of benefit. It will continue to be obscured by the confusion between responsibility caused by outsourcing the medical testing part of the system to a private company not known for their competency, leaving the final decision with an administrative employee of the Department of Work and Pensions and the appeals process by another arm of the civil service. A private company who have failed to provide adequate access to examination centres, failed to inject any humanity into their working processes, frequently failed to acheive the required standards for those working processes but been astonishingly successful in obscuring the true heart of this problem, the deliberate redefinition of sickness and disability designed by the Department of Work and Pensions.
Because, really that's the key to this issue. And slowly, but surely now the evidence will start to emerge that these cuts are very much targeted upon 'people like me', people like the mum with a fractured spine who's lost her adapted mobility car, the mum who used to be a nurse, but now recovering from breast cancer complicated by severe osteoporosis declared fit for work, or the 1100 people who died last year after being found fit for some work and put in the Work Related Activity Group. That's the same group of people now receiving letters to inform them the benefit they believed they'd paid for all their working lives is now being time limited retrospectively if their partner earns more than £7500 a year. These ARE people like me, and when life brings the events we all most instinctively fear they will also be people like you.
So as the government continue to tell their sweet little lies, remember that one day "people like you" will become "people like me", the people you so wanted to believe were somehow so different from you they could be excised from conscience with clever words and promises to protect.

Even if the examples here were just odd exceptions, they are still not acceptable. The WCA process has no margin for error - it's as simple as that. The consequences are to great. No collateral damage and no egg breaking to make an omelette. No ends justifying the means.

An excellent article it says it all...I was fit and healthy running my own business playing rugby in my spare time, great social life comfortable money wise and then I had a stroke I was 41 I have had to fight for every penny I now have at least once every six months, the fight, makes me suicidal and angry but the stroke has left me unable to express myself easily without swearing at which point the phone goes dead as I am cut off so I have to start again trying to keep calm and level headed enough to get maybe a bit further. I have very few friends who stayed I have no social life apart from occasional catty tweets and playing games on Facebook. I AM PETRIFIED knowing I have to face all this, Its not fair, and I don't know how I am going to get through it

It took months for Michael Dell to put together the $24bn (£16bn) deal to take Dell, the computer manufacturer he founded, private with support from the private equity firm Silver Lake Partners and Microsoft. But now the buyout is mired in uncertainty after Carl Icahn, the activist investor, joined a number of large shareholders in opposing the deal.
Mr Icahn, pictured, is reported to have bought 6 per cent of the company's shares, and has warned the Dell board of "years of litigation" unless it abandons the proposed buyout offer of $13.65 per Dell share. Instead, he is calling on the company to pay out a special dividend of $9 per share by drawing on its $7.4bn of cash reserves.
Mr Icahn, who in the past has taken aim at Yahoo and its co-founder Jerry Yang for turning down a chance to sell out to Microsoft, made his demand yesterday in a letter to the special independent committee of the Dell board that negotiated the buyout deal.

The CompetitionMature
We watch the reapings in District 1 and 2, but they're just for show. In both districts, a boy and a girl each volunteer as tribute. In District 1, the volunteers look as though they could be brother and sister, but their last names are different. Rafe mutters something about inbreeding which shocks Pontius. Their first names are typical of 1: Brilliant and Sugar. Brilliant is a tall, handsome boy with golden hair and blue eyes. He's seventeen and well-built, but in spite of his name, he doesn't look too bright. Sugar is, as District 1 girls go, surprisingly plain. I had expected my main competition in the looks department to come from the first district. She looks strong, though. Tall and broad and athletic. For some ridiculous reason, Marcus Flint's voice creeps into my head. Sugar, eh? Hope she tastes sweeter than she looks. Great. Not only am I already going crazy enough to hear voices, but my newfound imaginary friend is a lecherous swine.
The volunteers from District 2, Rom and Theo, look tough. Neither of them are tall, but they wear very serious expressions as they climb the stairs to the stage. From District 3 come a gangly fifteen-year-old boy named Led and a trembling thirteen-year-old girl called Switch who wears enormous spectacles. In District 4, the boy volunteers, but the girl is reaped. She's sixteen and rather cute, with freckled cheeks and copper-blonde hair that reminds me of Ruben's. Her name is Coral, the boy is called Ray. District 5 gives us Albert and Minerva, two sixteen-year-olds who don't look in any way threatening. Which makes me nervous. The reaping in 6 produces Brendan, a sickly looking boy who won't make it through the bloodbath, and Keelee, a stocky lass with curly brown hair who might last awhile without food. It turns out she's the daughter of that district's mayor. District 7 comes up on the screen and I'm fidgeting, knowing what's to come next. I watch a waif of a twelve-year-old girl get reaped and I feel a little sick. The name they announced is Aneka Carver. I hope I never see her in the arena. Or that girl from 3. Next, a boy called Ash mounts the stage. He's intimidating. He's tall, with arms like tree trunks, and he's wearing a scowl that could rival Rafe's. Speaking of whom…
District 8 is on-screen now. I relive the moment Pontius called out my name, this time from the eye of the audience. I'm proud to see that my manipulation of my face and body is spot on. I had achieved exactly the effect I'd been going for, maybe even better. The cameras found me by following the turned heads of my peers and by that time I had clamped down on my shock. My face looks calm, a little cocky even. I watch myself slip through the crowd and climb the steps with easy grace. My smile is bright as I shake hands with Pontius, Ruben Card, and Woof. I'm not a very big person, but as I take my Career-inspired stance on the stage, my presence is enormous. I look as cool and confident as if I had already won. Now, watching it on screen, I'm even fooling myself. Which, funny enough, gives me real confidence. We watch Rafe getting reaped, then the two of us shaking hands and being lead away. I find myself gripping the arm of the sofa as the broadcast cuts to the train station. We see Rafe's convoy pull up and him getting on the train without turning back, then the car I arrived in rolls into shot. I see Marcus open the door for me and promptly stick his foot under mine to make me stumble, then grab my chest as he catches me. My face is full of dangerous dignity as I hurry toward the train. Marcus is less than a step behind. He gives me a hand up onto the train. I turn, my face puckers and-
-the shot cuts abruptly away.
I almost drop my glass. I guess the Capitol decided it wouldn't do to show such open insubordination on all the screens across Panem. That's a bit of a relief. But the edit was hastily done. Just before we move on to District 9's reaping, there's another shot of our train and, clearly visible in front of it, Marcus Flint turns toward the cameras, an obvious splat on his visor. He takes off his helmet, laughing, and turns it around in his hands. The cameras are now focused on the train as it starts up and speeds away, a chattering reporter in the foreground. But I'm watching a slightly out-of-focus Marcus who, as he's walking off-shot towards his Peacekeeper buddies, lifts the helmet to his face and licks it. He's disgusting, but in such a ridiculous way it makes me want to laugh. I struggle to keep from just dropping to the floor in front of Pontius and Rafe. I think it's more than just Marcus - my anxiety is making me feel manic. So they cut away from the actual moment I spat in a Peacekeeper's face, but anyone with a single brain cell will surely be able to piece together the evidence from the following footage. It may throw some of the Capitol folk off- Pontius hasn't said anything- but it certainly won't fool the people of District 8. Not for a second. I get the feeling whoever bodged the edit has already lost his job. Maybe even his life.
I get a grip by focusing on the rest of the recap. District 9 is sending a boy with bad teeth named Husk, and a short, wiry girl named Geena. In 10, the girl reaped is a homely but healthy-looking lass called Lolabell and the boy, Teks, is much like Brilliant from District 1: strong and good-looking, but dull in the eyes. Unlike Brilliant, he has sandy brown hair and eyes to match. Pontius refills my glass as we reach District 11. A girl who's missing three and a half fingers on one hand gets reaped, and no one volunteers for her. Her name is Apple. The male tribute, Vonn, looks like he might have a better chance. He's eighteen and tall, and he looks pretty smart. But he's also thin and seems kind-natured, both of which could be a disadvantage. Especially the latter.
Last up is District 12. Haymitch Abernathy is at least a little tipsy, if I'm being generous. I've watched his drinking get steadily worse since he won the second Quarter Quell five years ago. I see him twice a year on the screens, so it's not hard to track his progress. This year, he's swigging from a bottle right there on the stage. But he's not drunk enough to forget where he is or what's happening. His face is dark and void of optimism. I don't feel the disdain for him that so many of his own district's people openly display. In fact, the saving grace of this experience is that I might get to meet him, if only once. District 8-ers don't generally go in for the victor-worship the Capitol pushes; but we saw how Haymitch made a mockery of the Gamesmakers, how he was punished for it, and how he goes on nonetheless, drunk or not. We respect that. I respect that. And no one else knows this, but he might be the only reason I last more than a day in the arena, assuming I do. He was my mentor long before Woof.
The girl reaped is from the poor side of 12, the Seam. I can tell by the grey eyes and dark hair, like Haymitch's. She's fourteen and probably has no idea what a full belly feels like. Her limbs are like knitting needles. Her name is Kayna. The boy who climbs the stage a few moments later is also from the Seam, but a year older. He's skinny, too. He's introduced as Billy. After a few more minutes of footage showing the last two tributes boarding their train, the anthem of Panem plays again and the broadcast ends.
I drain the last of my brandy and politely turn down Pontius' offer of a refill. All in all, I think, I'm lucky. The competition doesn't look too tough this year. If I get in with the Careers, maybe I can do what Violet says and stab them in the back after they take care of the rest for me. I tell Woof and Pontius that I'm tired and, after gushing to the latter about how wonderful dinner was (which makes Rafe look physically ill), I excuse myself.
I make my way to my compartment, kick off my shoes, wriggle out of my dress and slide into bed. I try not to think about the faces of my fellow tributes. Marcus' spit-spattered helmet drifts across my mind instead, then Haymitch and his liquor bottle, then conscious thought fades into dreaming.

WSox's Ramirez gets replacement of lost gold medal
Associated Press | Last updated June 08, 2012
Chicago White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez got a replacement for his lost gold medal that he earned with Cuba's Olympic team at the 2004 Athens Games. During a surprise presentation Friday, Ramirez was left emotional and momentarily speechless as he received another medal. Fellow countryman Jose Contreras, the star of the White Sox's 2005 World Series winner and currently on the Phillies' DL, showed up during stretching and, with the team gathered in the outfield, handed Ramirez a box with the replacement medal in it. The original medal had been lost or stolen while Ramirez and his wife were en route to Chicago before his first season with the White Sox in 2008. The White Sox eventually contacted the IOC and had a replacement medal made and shipped.

Much to everyone's surprise, the economy is improving and the job market is brightening. Last week's report on jobs was very positive and shows unemployment is slowly declining. It would decline at much greater speed if the proper management, structure, and initiatives were put into place, but that is a different topic, for another article.
Once again, candidates have career options and job choices, and recruiters are under pressure to showcase multiple job opportunities quickly before the top notch candidates slip away. The greater challenge for recruiters is educating our clients, who still don't believe that they need to move quickly with interviews and offers. Clients continue to request multiple interviews of candidates, often trying to schedule around busy executives who travel or are unavailable for long periods of time. Many offers are being lost and great candidates are going to the competition because of this. It is time to change gears!
In addition, we see that companies are opening up their wallets and offering signing bonuses and creative perks to entice and attract top candidates. We see that some firms are caught off guard by the rapid speed and assertiveness of their competitors going after this top talent. The hiring trends we saw in 2006/2007 are again returning. There are more competitive job offers, sign-on bonuses and perks that allow a candidate with multiple job offers the flexibility to have many options. This is a wake- up call for our clients to move much more quickly in streamlining their interview process and preparing offers.
This market change is affecting the consulting arena as well. Firms that are accustomed to interviewing their consultants are losing them. As we preach, consultants only make money when they are working and they are shrewd about selecting the opportunities where they can simply start and not waste time interviewing. We are using our "4-hour free work interview" to gain the trust of newer clients and to remove the insistence of wasteful interviews for our highly skilled consultants & temporary associates.
As recruiters, part of our process is to educate and offer awareness to our clients on the new realities of the hiring landscape. We want to make sure that everyone is ready to close deals when a hiring decision has been reached.
Here are some tips that we can offer to ensure you get the best and brightest talent:
1) Make sure all of your hiring managers and executives are ready to interview. Schedule multiple managers and executives per interview session so you can maintain the momentum of the candidate's schedule and keep them interested. "Time kills deals."
2) Don't waste time after the offer has been made with paperwork. Have all paperwork prepared ahead of time and have HR informed and ready.
3) Make sure that you are putting your best offer first. Don't wait to bring out your best offer until you are involved in a counter offer with a highly motivated firm competing against you.
4) Allow your recruiter to pre-close your first choice candidate by giving them the salary and benefits ahead of time. Doing this eliminates surprises and having the candidate pre-closed before an offer is made eliminates the need to spend time negotiating and then renegotiating an offer.
When our clients give us an initial job description, McIntyre will work hard to hammer out the compensation prior to initial interviews so we can pre-negotiate all of our offers, maintain candidate control, and hopefully prevent counter offers from coming in from your competition. We like to know at all times where our candidates stand and the candidates know up front that we are doing our best work to ensure a seamless staffing partnership is being achieved. We hope that your businesses are thriving once again and wish you successful hires.

Astral GreenJacket Personal Flotation Device
Astral hit the nail on the head when it created the Astral GreenJacket Personal Flotation Device. This is a PFD for whitewater professionals and professional river rescuers, and it oozes with toughness and utilitarian purpose down to the tiniest detail. The front panel features a large, clamshell style opening that can hold a rescue rope, there's a quick release harness built into the side, a tow system on the back, a Spectra safety loop for emergency extractions, and the list goes on. Astral's designers even worked in their unique Tectonic foam panel system that uses a static panel at the chest and a dynamic, floating panel at the torso where you need mobility to paddle. Sure, you could find a lighter weight PFD option for the river, and maybe even one that's designed for rescuers, but you won't find another with the laundry list of forward thinking safety features touted by the GreenJacket.

The formation of the Ni3Al layer in NiAl (55 at. pct Ni)-pure Ni diffusion couples at temperatures above 1000°C has been found to be controlled almost completely by volume diffusion. At 1000°C and below, the relatively small grain size of the Ni3Al compound in the layers caused such a large contribution from grain boundary diffusion, that the layer growth rates at 1000°C exceeded those at 1100°C and even those at 1200°C. In Ni3Al (75at. pct Ni)-pure Ni diffusion couples the Ni3Al compound rapidly converted into the solid solution of aluminum in nickel. Volume-diffusion coefficients calculated by the Boltzmann-Matano method yielded heats of activation of 55, 64, and 65 kcal·mol−1 for NiAl, Ni3Al and the solid solution of aluminum in nickel, respectively. In addition, eleven different types of diffusion couples were prepared from various Ni−Al alloys and annealed at 1000°C. Marker interface displacements and observations of porosity in these couples yielded a more detailed picture of the Kirkendall-effect than earlier work had done. The ratio of the intrinsic diffusion coefficients at the marker interface,DNI/DAl, is greater than one in the nickel-rich NiAl phase. For the Ni3Al phase no statement can be made on the basis of this work. When the marker interface is located in the nickel solid solution,DNi/DAl is smaller than one. The phase boundary concentrations in these couples did not show the expected deviation from the equilibrium concentrations in two-phase alloys; this finding is discussed with regard to the free-energycomposition diagram.

An Islamic State militant identified as the group's "finance minister" has been killed in an airstrike as the US and allies continue to target its funding network.
Abu Saleh, whose real name was Muwaffaq Mustafa Muhammad al-Karmush, was killed in late November, US military spokesman Colonel Steve Warren said.
He was described as "one of the most senior and experienced members" of the group's funding network.
IS secures most of its funding from activities in the caliphate it has declared in northern Iraq and Syria, including black market oil sales, extortion and looting financial institutions.
It has made more than $500m trading oil, with large amounts sold to the government of Syrian President Bashar al Assad, a senior US Treasury official said.

From the 17th century through the 19th century, stylish hats were made with animal furs. The more expensive hats were made with beaver fur, and the cheaper ones were made from rabbits. Hatmakers would rub the cheaper fur hats down with mercury to make them smoother. Today, we know mercury isn't something you want to be messing around with, but mercury poisoning wasn't well known at the time. Inhaling toxic fumes from working with mercury gave the hatmakers slurred speech, personality changes, decreased motor skills, and a slew of other symptoms. This strange behavior birthed the phrase "mad as a hatter." Hear more about phrase origins in the videos below.
Though it might sound old-timey to use the phrase "mad as a hatter" in casual conversation, you've likely heard it and understand its meaning. Mad as a hatter? You're crazy! But what's so off-the-wall about hatmakers to have inspired this phrase? Turns out, the saying refers to a genuine condition that affected hatmakers in the 17th century. If you were mad as a hatter back then, that would mean you were literally a diseased hatmaker.

REPEAT-North American rail industry angered by new brake rule
(Repeats May 1 item for additional readers with no changes to headline or text)
May 1 (Reuters) - U.S. regulators took on the powerful rail industry on Friday, announcing plans to require expensive, high-tech braking technology the railways insist is unproven and unreliable.
Regulators say the new electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes could reduce the severity of crashes, preventing pile-ups. Canada has promised to "harmonize" its regulations with the United States.
The U.S. rule goes into effect in 2021 and only applies to trains with 70 or more tank cars. Estimates published with Friday's announcement said ECP brakes could cost the U.S. industry $492 million between 2015 and 2034.
Because of their common carrier obligations, railways are required to ship dangerous goods even if they would rather refuse the business.
The decision has angered the North American rail industry, but Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said his department believes it will stand up to any legal challenge.
The Association of American Railroads (AAR), which has lawyers studying the rule, slammed the government for basing its decision on the results of simulations, data the association said was flawed.
"The DOT (Department of Transportation) couldn't make a safety case for ECP, but forged ahead anyhow," said President Edward Hamberger. "This is an imprudent decision made without supporting data or analysis."
Under the new rule, from 2021 to 2023 railways can choose to slow designated trains to 30 miles per hour instead of using ECP brakes, but the AAR said that could reduce network capacity. Continued...

Delivery was way faster than I thought it was going to be, got it in time for Christmas. Thank you! Was easy to put together once I found the manual on line as I looked everywhere and there were no instructions provided. So far it's working great, but it's early days yet as she's only been using it since Christmas Day.

KARACHI: The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has warned the general public not to be misled by fraudulent activities/schemes launched by some unscrupulous elements informing it about the winning of heavy cash prizes in foreign currency.
It has come to the notice of the State Bank that the members of the general public are being approached through telephone calls/web mail service/SMS/Surface mail informing them that they have won heavy cash prizes in foreign currency.
The fraudulent groups are providing fabricated application form of Foreign Exchange Department, State Bank of Pakistan to carry out remittance facility on behalf of prospective beneficiaries.
They also demand some initial clearance dues from the targeted persons which, they falsely claim, are to be deposited to the Ministry of Finance in terms of cost of Fund Registration Charges Fee.
They are also fraudulently using names of the Foreign Missions/Diplomats, Corporate, Foreign Exchange Department, SBP and fake email addresses to portray their genuineness.
Neither any such application form has been devised by SBP nor has any connection with such schemes.
SBP has once again advised the members of the general public to be careful and do not pay any heed to such fraudulent schemes.
For further clarification in respect of the above fraudulent schemes, if any, the general public is advised to contact the Exchange Policy Department, State Bank of Pakistan, I.I. Chundrigar Road, Karachi at phone number 021-99212459 & Fax number 021-99212527.

Chapter 13
Feeling complete, yet completely void all at once, I continued to move through the forest, hurtling towards the dwelling place of this sinister Lord. I shrieked with excitement, cried out into the canopy with the whole voice I had been given.
Yet, I had sacrificed a great deal for these abilities - under the influence of the Lord, and filled with the euphoria produced by having a tongue, I forgot my Gregory, who I had last seen pouring blood into the darkness. I was passed by browns and greens as I ran through the thick mass of trees. I was free, yet chained; euphoric, yet wanting; filled, yet hungering.
As the thought of hunger filled my mind, I realised that I was ravenous. I searched the forest for something to eat. I examined fresh berries and pored over large citrus fruits, filled with juice and goodness; I cast them aside, searching for something more satisfying.
I watched the trees for signs of life, searched the stretch of land before me with hawk-like eyes. There was silence, a hateful silence that reminded me of my prior uselessness. The hunger burned in my stomach as the acid yearned for something to digest. I was near to sleep when I heard a rustle - a twig snapped. My ears pricked up as I listened for more noises - sounds that could signal the whereabouts of my meal. As the sound melted into silence, I sighed, pining silently for tender flesh and fresh blood. My yearning reverie was shattered by another sound, rolling like a drum and just as deep.
Footsteps. I scanned the forest for the source of the footsteps, which drew nearer. My eyes widened as imagined the meat in my mouth. I salivated, began to breathe heavily in anticipation of what was to come. I saw a brown mass approach, shaking with life and reeking deliciously. I began to make out various shades of brown, then shining white - the individuals moved gracefully, some with horns and some without. Deer.
"Mmm... I haven't had venison in a while." I growled. I hid in the bushes, scanning the group for the smallest, weakest deer - the one that wouldn't fight. As the group thinned out, I found what I searched for - a young deer with large brown eyes and enough meat to last me a few days. I drew my gun from its holster, cocked it and aimed the crosshairs between those large brown eyes. I heard a growl behind me.
A hand covered my mouth. I fired.
The shot went into the canopy and the deer dispersed quickly. I turned round to see the source of the growling. Knelt by a fallen motorbike, was Gregory.
"Myra, you're a danger to yourself on your own."
"How did you find me?" Gregory moved back, shocked by the naturalistic yet ancient quality of my voice. I opened my mouth, revealing the blue organ. In a voice that showed he still hadn't recovered from the shock, he replied,
"Check your jacket lapel." I ran my hand across the lapel of my jacket and found a glowing light.
"You've been tracking me?"
"I wasn't going to let you go, not having just found you again." I remembered his sudden embrace as he lay bleeding in the earth. Understanding this, I glanced at the bike, reverting quickly to confusion. "There was another sufferer on the bike. He tried to run me down with the bike. I'm afraid my gun spoke in defense of me." It was peculiar; whenever I was with Gregory, the disease was not as potent. I needed to stay with him.
And, for both our sakes, I needed to stay awake.

Glenn Robinson III has become a familiar face in Ann Arbor in recent months. The son of former Purdue and NBA great Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson attended Michigan's Elite camp back in June, returned to Ann Arbor and was offered a scholarship in mid August, and was back in town Saturday for yet another glimpse of the Maize & Blue. During his latest trip he was able to spend more informal time with the players and coaches, and came away extremely impressed.
"I tailgated with the basketball team," Robinson said. We ate a little bit, talked, and messed around. All of them are real good guys. Zack Novak is from Chesterton, IN, so I know him. We seem to have more of a conversation whenever we talked. He is a real good kid."
"And I really liked the game. Afterward I saw on the internet that they had made the record for 113,000, so that was real good. It was just amazing. There was so many people there… it was crazy!"
The Wolverines were already firmly atop Robinson's leader board prior to the visit, and his time on campus Saturday did nothing but bolster their standing. His mother appears to share that sentiment, but what about dad? "Big Dog" has been very clear about what he thinks his son should do.
"He really likes Michigan," Robinson said of his father. "I think it was his number three school or something when he was getting recruited. He really liked it. He just thought Purdue was a better fit. He really liked Michigan and if they are my number one school, then he thinks I should commit. He likes Michigan."
With mom and dad seemingly thinking on a common accord, there appears to be only one holdout left.
"I'm not quite ready to go ahead and commit, but I think they are getting closer," Robinson admitted. "I feel more comfortable about Michigan and I'm starting to like it more and more every time that I go up there. I'm still not that sure yet though."
"(The Michigan coaches) are not putting any pressure on me or whatever to make the decision. They are just saying whenever I'm ready, they're ready. They would like to get it done and that out of the way so they don't have to worry about my spot."
There are a few schools that could still present significant challenges to the John Beilein & company. Many of them will make it out to Robinson's high school to see him in the coming weeks.
"I'm not sure when I'm going to (go on anymore visits), but coaches are going to go come down for open gyms because they can start coming back now," he said. "I think Xavier, Wisconsin, Purdue, Butler are going to come down. I think (Butler coach, Brad Stevens) is going to come to a couple of open gyms. (Stevens) said that they are pretty close (to offering) I guess. Michigan is coming down this Monday actually, so it is quite a few (schools that will be making it in)."
GoBlueWolverine will have more on Robinson in the coming weeks.

Through sun, wind and rain they came.
Race Across America competitors started arriving in Washington Sunday and are expected to continue rolling through Time Station 34 at Revolution Cycles at Bedford Center for the rest of the week.
Can anyone catch Christoph Strasser?
That's the event's burning question right now.
Strasser reached Washington at 10:37 a.m. Sunday to become the first rider through this station in the 2013 event.
Strasser's top competition, defending champion Reto Schoch, reached Washington at 5:43 p.m. Sunday afternoon.
Strasser had passed Time Station 45 (Ellenboro, W.Va.) as of Tuesday morning, holding a lead of more than three time stations ahead of Schoch. Last year's winner last was logged at Oxford, Ohio, late Monday night.
Seven more riders hit Washington Monday.
Dani Wyss was the third racer into Washington, getting here at 12:30 a.m. He was at Time Station 40 as of Tuesday morning.
Gerhard Gulewicz reached Washington at 3:08 a.m. Monday.
Marko Baloh got to Washington at 9:08 a.m.
Mark Pattinson came into town at 11:52 a.m.
Eduard Fuchs reached Washington at 3:18 p.m.
Jason "The Hammer" Lane passed Time Station 34 at 4:54 p.m.
David Misch was the final rider of the day to reach Washington, coming through at 5:41 p.m.
Both Lane and Misch passed Fuchs early Tuesday.
Tuesday's parade was led by Gerald Bauer, who hit town at 12:24 a.m.
Franz Preihs reached Washington at 2 a.m.
Henning Larsen came into Washington at 4:24 a.m.
Peter Oyler passed the time station at 6:25 a.m.
Through Oyler, all of the riders to reach Washington were in the solo male under 50 division.
Seven more entries were expected into Washington Tuesday, including the first team. Allied Forces - Team 4Mil/Strategic Lions, an eight-person squad, is expected around 9:30 p.m.
