Severe hypertension is a common clinical problem in the United
States, encountered in various clinical settings. Although various
terms have been applied to severe hypertension, such as hypertensive
crises, emergencies, or urgencies, they are all characterized by acute
elevations in BP that may be associated with end-organ damage
(hypertensive crisis). The immediate reduction of BP is only required
in patients with acute end-organ damage. Hypertension associated with
cerebral infarction or intracerebral hemorrhage only rarely requires
treatment. While nitroprusside is commonly used to treat severe
hypertension, it is an extremely toxic drug that should only be used in
rare circumstances. Furthermore, the short-acting calcium channel
blocker nifedipine is associated with significant morbidity and should
be avoided. Today, a wide range of pharmacologic alternatives are
available to the practitioner to control severe hypertension. This
article reviews some of the current concepts and common misconceptions
in the management of patients with acutely elevated

This paper considers many of the rational activities that control decision-making to involve decisions requiring a choice between altruism and egoism as well as those involving issues of social justice. There are four distinct ambiguities that are faced in these decisions. Our argument is that many policy decisions deal with the first two ambiguities; but do not deal with ambiguities than pertain to leadership and inequality. These cause a tension between values. Aquinas categorized the tension between values as being social and egalitarian (Aquinas; 1955/1929). Likewise; twenty-first century executives are faced with the dilemma of reconciling Christian values with policy decisions of an economic rationalistic nature.
Keywords: Altruism; ambiguities of justice; economic rationalism; policymaking; theology; value systems

Chapter 11-
"This is news to me. All Metya told me was she had met you briefly and that I should keep an eye on you. Logically, when Tydeus started to push their noses into your spa trip, I just had to intervene. It stops at that! Attempted murder shall be the end of their villainy."
"But I'm also part of all this, you know."
"You must be involved with the businesses somehow. I don't understand it, but Metya might have-especially if she knew that your life might be… you know."
I sighed.
"I don't know either. I wish I did, but nothing is certain anymore…
"Yet, I still want to know who killed my husband-"
"Do you think that he is what started all of this? Really?"
"Well, what do you think? That Metya happened to give me a letter on the eve of her death; the day after my estranged husband died too. It's got to be connected!"
"Not necessarily…" It felt like I might be testing Chloe's patience.
"But doesn't being in business with a great rival open your eyes to every possibility?"
"I don't jump to conclusions, Mrs. Howard!" Chloe cried.
"Well, I just feel that this has to be more than a coincidence."
Chloe frowned, most likely unconvinced. She glanced at the clock on the tarnished mantelpiece and exclaimed.
"I must be going…. I'm sorry, Mrs. Howard, but I was told to keep an eye on you, not babysit you; I didn't think things would get so…dangerous."
"In all due respect, Chloe, i don't need babysitting. Tell your bosses to make sure that this…Tydeus doesn't get in my way again. Please."
"Oh, of course, we will," Chloe said with a smile that was definitely sneaky, "Is there someone I can call on my way back to work and get them here in a jiffy? Not to look after you, but for company too."
I nodded solemnly, "Yes there's my son."
"…Who is…?"
"Steven Howard. He's at the local college."
"Okay," Chloe stood up briskly, subconsciously gathering her cloak about her thin body. Her hair continued its steady rhythm of bobbing up and down, and her dark eyes roamed the house for one last time. She walked to the door, almost in a ghostly fashion, and turned as her right hand unlocked it.
"Don't expect to see us again."
I scowled.
"What? Why? You're just a business."
"A private business," she said, and smartly turned back to the exit and walked away.
I hoped that she wouldn't face the same fate of her CEO, but I had a feeling that I was never going to see her again.

Samuel Beckett's 'Endgame': The continuation of 'Waiting for Godot'?
€ 13,99
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
November 2007
BeschreibungSeminar paper from the year 2001 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Regensburg (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Proseminar: From Modernism to Postmodernism, 10 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: This peace of work deals with the question, whether Beckett's "Endgame" is a continuation of "Waiting for Godot". In order to answer it, both plays will be compared to work out similarities as well as differences. Godot will function as a basis and startingpoint for interpretation, that will then turn towards Endgame for comparison to come to a conclusion. Main features of the drama such as plot, setting, characters, action, language and time will be involved in this procedure of analysis. To a certain extent, this approach towards the two plays will also be related to the historical context of Postmodernism and the philosophical background of Existentialism, as well as to characteristics of the Theatre of the Absurd or the Expressionist Theatre.

Type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is on the rise in Finland. This disease is very dangerous, as it does not necessarily cause any symptoms. Despite this, treatment is crucial, because untreated diabetes can lead to coronary artery disease, kidney disease, circulatory disorders in the lower limbs, stroke, or retinopathy, which can cause blindness.
Diabetes can cause vague symptoms such as tiredness, fatigue, thirst, increased urination and sweating. At first, diabetes causes no symptoms, or the symptoms develop too slowly to be noticed. Diabetes can easily be diagnosed with a fasting blood sugar test. Blood sugar levels are often measured during normal health checks, and symptom-free diabetes can be discovered that way. The patient has diabetes if the fasting blood sugar level is 7 mmol/l or above. If the limit value is not exceeded, but the patient is still suspected to have diabetes, he or she can be subjected to a 2 hour glucose tolerance test or a glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) test.
If you suspect that you have diabetes, either because you have symptoms or because it runs in the family, you should seek help from a doctor who can perform the necessary tests. You can also make an appointment with a diabetes nurse who can make a risk assessment and advise you on lifestyle choices. Diabetes should be diagnosed in time!
Not just sugar
The primary goal of the treatment is to prevent comorbidities associated with type 2 diabetes, particularly arterial diseases. The treatment does not only focus on correcting the high blood sugar levels, but also on other risk factors – the most important ones being high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. Diabetes patients are often overweight, and losing weight is a well-known way of managing the risk factors. Exercise has positive effects; just half an hour of walking per day can help correct the blood sugar levels and lower blood pressure, make you more alert and help you lose weight.
Dietary choices are very important. A balanced diet composed of the right amounts of energy, carbohydrates and fat helps you lose weight. Cholesterol levels can also be greatly improved just through dietary choices. A diabetic should not, under any circumstances, smoke.
Medication right away
When a patient has been diagnosed with diabetes, he or she is referred to a diabetes nurse who goes through the basics of the disease with the patient. In most cases, the patient is required to monitor his or her own blood sugar by measuring it with a simple glucose meter in the mornings and at mealtimes. The blood sugar monitoring helps the physician plan the treatment.
The attending physician assesses the need for medication individually. Metformin, which lowers blood sugar, is usually prescribed immediately when the patient is diagnosed with diabetes. Metformin is often used alongside other blood sugar lowering medications. If necessary, the patient can also be prescribed cholesterol and blood pressure medication as well as acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), which prevents the blood from clotting. The physician needs to know about all other medications the patient is using, including vitamins and natural medicines.
Insulin is sometimes used to treat type 2 diabetes, but tablet treatment usually suffices, especially in the early stages of the illness. The newer injectable incretin mimetic medications can also be used to treat early stage diabetes.
Diabetes requires long-term treatment and a close relationship between patient and caregiver. The patient goes for regular check-ups - usually every 6-12 months. During these visits, the patient and the caregiver discuss the patient's physical and psychological health, look through lab test results and decide how to proceed with the treatment. In most cases, the medication is long-term or permanent. If your state of health has changed or if you have experienced any new symptoms, you should bring this up when visiting your physician or nurse.

- Revenue Bonds – Including Infrastructure Bonds – May Provide Credit Stability – Essential-purpose revenue bonds may be less impacted in weaker economic periods than general obligation bonds, and may possibly benefit with service usage increases during times of economic growth.
- Municipal Revenue Bonds May Offer Higher Yield Potential – Municipal revenue bonds have the potential to offer both a high level of absolute and relative after-tax current income potential versus GOs of equal maturity (which, generally, are perceived to have a higher credit quality as they are backed by the state's taxing power).
NEW YORK, May 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Infrastructure bonds, used to finance essential services such as roads, schools and bridges, appear attractive because of their potential to offer higher after-tax income than comparably rated general obligation bonds and historic resilience during weaker economic conditions, according to Standish, the Boston-based fixed income specialist for BNY Mellon. "For over a century, federally tax exempt municipal bonds have been the main source of funding to finance infrastructure projects – such as roads, schools, utility plants, bridges, hospitals and airports – that are essential to our everyday living," said Jeffrey B. Burger, CFA, Standish portfolio manager and author of the paper, "The Case for Tax Exempt Infrastructure Bonds." "As an investment option, 'infrastructure bonds' have the potential to provide investors with a high level of federally tax free regular income that is derived from revenues related to these essential long-term projects and services." According to the paper, other reasons why investors should consider an investment with infrastructure bond exposure include:

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2010
About the owner: I am a retired travel agent and have traveled extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe and the Orient. I have stayed in many elegant hotels, condos and cruise ships. I have been a visitor to Maui since 1984. Maui is where my heart is and I consider it my second home. I have decorated and furnished my condo as I have furnished my primary residence because I want to be surrounded by tropical elegance and comfort. I hope you will feel the same as you share my home.
Why the Owner Chose Kihei, HI, USA:
First and foremost, this condo is my second home! I love the ambiance in South Kihei and the Island Surf Building is the 'Golden Ring' of the area! I looked at many properties in the South Kihei area and ALWAYS went back to this building. I knew what I wanted, I waited and I finally was able to purchase the PRIME condo in this wonderful building - the penthouse floor, end unit condo with windows on three sides and unsurpassed views! The building has a private pool and barbeques with dining area. There is plenty of off street free parking and even a place to hose off or completely wash your car. The building also has 2 elevators, or, if you are energetic, you can climb the stairs!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
I love drinking my tea or coffee in the morning out on the lanai and watching the sun rise over Haleakala. I love sitting and watching the WHALES frolicking in the beautiful surf during the daytime. I love sipping a cocktail and watching the sun set over the ocean in the early evening. I love sitting in the darkness and looking up at the starlit sky while listening to the ocean's gentle roar as the waves lap against the shore! I love my condo and my location 24/7 and 365 days a year! Shopping is easy and convenient, just a short walk away. Shave Ice is right out the front door and to the right about 50 steps! My hairdresser and massage therapist are on the first floor of my building. Charley Young beach is across the street, within walking distance. You can rent diving gear or snorkeling equipment from the shops on the first floor. There are also two surf schools where you can take lessons or just rent boards, one on the first floor and one right across the street. In Kalama Park, directly across the street, you will find tennis courts, a skate park, volleyball nets, barbeques, picnic tables, a ball field and many other things to do.

Park Assistance
Wildland Fire Management, Search and Rescue (SAR), and Law Enforcement (LE) operations all have a common characteristic: a demand for expediency. Operations are initiated quickly and often escalate rapidly in complexity. Response procedures to wildfire departs from SAR and LE protocol in that initial response during fire management operations involves an early evaluation for the necessity of aviation resources.
NPS uses aircraft from the fleet and private industry. Approximately 17,000 flight hours annually are recorded in support of NPS missions. Aviation personnel, pilots, and equipment are subject to frequent changes based on mission needs and management decisions.

Segway Inventor Dean Kamen Thinks His New Stirling Engine Will Get You Off The Grid For Under $10K
J Thoendell stashed this in Tech
Source: http://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherh...
"We've turned his basement into an extension of our laboratory," said Kamen. "It's certainly not a machine made for the typical home, but he has a gigantic swimming pool and a huge house."
With the Beacon 10, says Kamen, "you don't have to feel guilty heating up the pool." That's because of the highly efficient nature of the Stirling engine.
So in 10 years will everyone have one?
"I'd say yes. Ten years from today the probability that you are depending on wires hanging on tree branches is as likely as that you'll still be installing land lines for telephones. Close to zero."
The machine — which can generate 10 kilowatts of continuous power, fed by Crane's natural gas line — is a new iteration of an old creation, the Stirling engine. This version, called the Beacon 10, was created after a decade of engineering by famed inventor Dean Kamen.
The Stirling is quieter than an internal combustion engine, and it's more efficient because the heat is retained inside the engine by to do more work rather than allowed to escape to the environment.
Though Stirlings are highly efficient, they haven't caught on because it takes them a while to warm up and they can't change power output quickly. That makes them unworkable for cars and trucks, but potentially ideal both for power generation and water heating. More than just a backup generator, these machines, depending on the price of natural gas, could also provide round-the-clock power to a home or business, more reliable than solar panels.
Kamen's contribution has been in engineering his Stirling with the most high-performance materials. He started off using skilled welders to put together key parts of the engine made out of exotic alloys. More recently he's figured out how make those pieces with even more precision using 3-D printing. Crane says a key element in Kamen design was the perfection of a little plastic membrane that looks like a condom. The Beacon, which weighs about 1,500 pounds and is the size of a washing machine, also includes a battery system, which can be integrated with other distributed generation systems like solar panels.
So what's Kamen's vision for the future of these things? Well the one in Crane's basement is far too big for the average American home, generating 10 continuous kilowatts, while most of us only draw about 2 kw. "I love bulldozers, but I wouldn't put one in my garage," quips Kamen.
Kamen believes that aside from mansion owners, the Beacon 10 is just right for businesses like laundries or restaurants that use a lot of hot water. With commercialization partner NRG Energy, he's so far deployed roughly 20 of the machines.

Ladies and Gentlemen, We Have Baseball
Hey, DC baseball fans! All six of you! Great news! The sorry ass Montreal Expos are officially on the way here to join the disappointing Redskins, the tirelessly mediocre Capitals, the despised by God Wizards/Bullets, the unwatched Mystics, and the semi-decent-from-time-to-time-but-there's-no-way-Adu-belongs-stealing-minutes-from-Eskandarian-I-mean-holy-god-can-I-get-a-witness DC United.
There will be announcements galore, followed by pronouncements that bore, then the requisite op-eds from Posties like Wilbon that will attempt to put this in a perspective that none of us share, and then the speculation over a name.
By the way: follow the United and call this team the "DC" something. As opposed to the Washington something. After all, the folks out in Band Camp and points west didn't win it, and Arlingtonians didn't want it. Plus, who wants to share with Bethesda? I think that if this baseball team is going to have the morale boosting effect people want it to, to have the pride enhancing effect people hope for, it should be branded "DC". "Washington" tends to remind people of the political interlopers who clog our civic arteries like so much butter (and by "butter" I mean "total assholes").


text: ATLANTA, Dec. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Small Business Administration reminds homeowners, renters, businesses and non-profit organizations of the deadline to submit disaster loan applications for damages due to Hurricane Sandy on Oct. 27–30. The deadline to apply for physical damage is Jan. 7, 2013. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110909/DC65875LOGO) All affected businesses, homeowners and renters, and non-profits in Dare County and the adjacent counties of Currituck, Hyde and Tyrrell in North Carolina are encouraged to apply. Anyone with insured losses should not wait for an insurance settlement before applying to the SBA. "If someone does not know how much of their loss will be covered by insurance or other sources, the SBA will consider making a loan for the total loss up to its loan limits, provided they agree to use insurance proceeds to reduce or repay their SBA loan," said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA Field Operations Center East. Loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. Homeowners and renters are eligible for loans up to $40,000 to repair or replace damaged or destroyed personal property. Businesses and non-profit organizations of any size may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory, and other business assets. The SBA may increase a loan up to 20 percent of the total amount of disaster damage to real estate and/or leasehold improvements, as verified by SBA, to make improvements that lessen the risk of property damage by future disasters of the same kind.

The Duchess of Cornwall's brother Mark Shand has died in New York aged 62, as a result of a serious head injury which he sustained during a fall, according to Clarence House.
The Duchess of Cornwall's brother was taken to hospital on Tuesday night after he reportedly slipped while lighting a cigarette outside an after-party for a charity event, and hit his head on the pavement.
His family have been alerted.
Mr Shand was a travel writer, and was visiting New York for an auction at Sotheby's in aid of a charity for underprivileged children, as well as the Elephant Family which he was the chairman of. The fund aims to save the endangered Asian elephant from extinction in the wild.
The charity event raised $1.6 million US dollars (£950,000) for charity and was also attended by Princess Eugenie, according to reports.
In pictures: Conservationist Mark Shand
The news comes as the Duchess of Cornwall and the Prince of Wales were preparing fir a tour of Canada.
It appears that Mr Shand had left a charity auction at Sotheby's on the Upper East Side of Manhattan on Tuesday evening to enjoy a late evening with friends at a midtown club called the Diamond House. It may have been after midnight when some in the group repaired further to the Rose Bar, on the ground of the Gramercy Park Hotel.
It was at roughly 3 am that Mr Shand reportedly stepped outside for a cigarette and fell. When an ambulance arrived soon afterwards he is said to have complained to paramedics of a sharp pain in his head. He was rushed to nearby Bellevue Hospital, regarded as offering the best care for trauma injuries in New York City, but he was declared dead inside the facility.
A friend who was apparently with Mr Shand at the Diamond House spoke to the Daily News in New York of the shock. "It is so sad. He stayed till the end and was on his way to another venue downtown when he fell," the friend said. "He was jovial and in a good mood enjoying the party," the friend said
The Gramercy Park, which sits just above the park of the same name at the bottom end of Lexington Avenue, is a luxury hotel. Its restaurants and bars are popular with models, actors and the well-connected set of Manhattan.
Mr Shand had been at Sotheby's for an auction of Faberge eggs, including one he had entered for sale with a Humpty Dumpty design. He had offered it for sale to raise money for his elephant cause.Reuse content

We present a white-light spectral interferometric technique for measuring the thickness of SiO2 thin film on a silicon wafer. The technique utilizes a slightly dispersive Michelson interferometer with a cube beam splitter and a fibre-optic spectrometer to record channelled spectra in two configurations. In the first, a standard configuration with two identical metallic mirrors, the recorded channelled spectrum is fitted to the theoretical one to determine the effective thickness of the beam splitter made of BK7 optical glass. In the second configuration one of the mirrors is replaced by SiO2 thin film on the silicon wafer and the recorded channelled spectrum is fitted to the theoretical one to determine the thin-film thickness. We consider multiple reflection within the thin-film structure, use the optical constants for all the materials involved in the set-up, and confirm very good agreement between theory and experiment. The technique is applied to four samples with various SiO2 film thicknesses.

Stephanie is a sophomore in high school residing in suburban New Jersey. She loves free-writing and dreams of traveling the world.Adult couples vary in age all the time. Look at Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher – the two are fifteen years apart and happily married. I bet your parents have an age gap, too, even if it's just a small one. In fact, it's usually just a coincidence when two adults date and happen to be the same age. People tend to choose their partners based on compatibility, not what year they were born in…unless of course, like me, you're a teenager.
As if we had enough limitations. Dating takes on a whole new perspective when you're a teen, especially if you're going out with someone that's older or younger than you. Ever seen a fifteen-year-old girl dating a senior in high school and wonder how that relationship could ever work? Is it weird, out of line? Politically incorrect? Or, on the contrary, is it completely normal? Can girls and guys in high school date even if they're not in the same grade?
I've seen it happen all the time. My high school is full of gossip-hungry animals; everyone pretty much knows who's dating who within an hour of the declaration of the relationship. I know eighteen-year olds that have taken freshmen to their senior prom, girls that have cheated on their boyfriends with older guys, and a tenth grader that spent his sophomore year dating and flirting with freshmen girls. A friend of mine in eighth grade went out with a seventh grader for a couple of months (why kids even bother to date in middle school is altogether baffling to me). In the adult world, all of this would be OK – a few years here and there is nothing when it comes to dating and differences in age. But it's a whole other story when teens are brought into the picture! A difference in one year is all it takes to create tensions in high school relationships.
A sixteen year-old and a seventeen-year-old may have two totally different perspectives on where they are and want to be in life. The seventeen-year-old is one year away from being considered legal. Maybe she just got her driver's license and can now fully commit to a part-time job. She's probably excited to be driving around by herself, too – now she can drive to a friend's house or a party without begging for a ride from mom. Now that she's a junior, she's probably interested in taking the SATs and is getting serious about looking for colleges that offer courses in business management, her dream job. In addition to all of that, she's making plans for junior prom and is really excited to be approaching her last and most exciting year of high school: senior year! It's great to feel so independent and ready to take on the world for all it has to offer.
The sixteen-year-old, on the other hand, is concerned with other things. After all, he was just a freshman last year – he's just getting the hang of how things are done in high school. Now he's planning on getting more involved with sports and clubs than he was last year, and is planning on taking driver's ed to get his permit. Every now and then he still depends on mom and dad to buy him things and drive him where he needs to go. He may not be looking into different types of continuing education, and he's not yet sure if he even wants to go to college. The strangest thing he's getting used to at the moment is how his peers are maturing. He's really a teenager now and is learning to take responsibility for his actions.
These two kids could be madly in love, but the relationship could still be awkward. Their lives are completely different. It's hard to relate to someone who can't yet fully understand what you're going through.
Does this mean that these types of relationships can't work? Not at all. Personally, I think that teenagers dating older/younger teens is fine. People do not mature with age – they mature with experience. If a younger girl and an older guy consider themselves to be equally mature, then I think their relationship has a chance of working out. In other words, don't date an upperclassman just so you can get attention and be popular with your friends. (And if you do anyway, I wouldn't expect that relationship to go very far.) And vice versa: don't date an underclassman to look tough and show your friends that you can get whoever you want. That older guy may be the hottest stud since John Krasinski (Don't laugh, girls, watch a few episodes of The Office. If you don't fall in love with him, then schedule a check-up with your doctor because you may be crazy) but he may also be bad news for you. If he has a license and you don't, will he be okay with always having to pick you up and drive you home to hang out? How often will you be able to spend time together if he has a job? Is he going away to college? Partying when you aren't allowed to? What if you've made the decision to be sexually active? If he's eighteen and you're a minor, take into consideration that it may be illegal to have sex with this guy. Most of all, consider your parents. Would they even allow you to date someone who's older than you?
I have plenty of older and younger friends. And hey, I'll admit it, I'm guilty – I've been interested in guys that were one or two years older than me. Nothing ever happened, but it certainly got me thinking about the situation. If you're a teen and feel you're ready to date, take the time to think about your values and what you think is right in relationships before you jump into one. Teens: ask your parents how they feel about you dating someone a little older or younger. Parents: bring the topic up with your kids or simply mull over whether you'd allow your children to date guys or girls of a different age.
You don't have to make any immediate decisions. You don't have to rush into a relationship or rush to get out of one, and you certainly don't have to rush to be mature. But after all the stress, sweat, tears, and heartaches, know there will be that one moment – that one surge, that one rush of feeling, whether it's for just minutes or years – when you know where you are in your life, relationship or not. And that, my dears, is the best rush of all

The Parable of the Ten Virgins (4 of 6) by Brian Fletcher
This content is part of a series.The Parable of the Ten Virgins (4 of 6)
Series: Matthew
Brian Fletcher
Matthew 25:1-13
Introductory Comments
A parable is a story, an illustration that is used to make a point. This particular parable is used by Jesus in the middle of his teaching on His second coming. He has come, as God in the flesh, Immanuel, He will die on the cross and be raised from the dead, He will ascend into heaven and sit on the right hand of God. But, at some point He will come back again to finalize the redemption process and to take all believers, past and present to create His new Kingdom.
The single point that Jesus is trying to illustrate in this parable is that everyone needs to be ready for when Jesus comes back.
Let's take a quick look at the key characters in the parable and then we will look at what it means to ''be ready''.
Ten Virgins = the visible church, people who are true believers and people who think they are believers. Yes, you heard me right, not all who go to church or profess to be Christians are truly Christians. I know that sounds unbelievably judgmental but hey, I'm not the one who made up this parable, Jesus is. The reason Jesus makes this distinction is because it has pretty significant consequences, like heaven or hell for eternity consequences.
Yes, there will be a judgment day and some of us will go to heaven and some of us will go to hell. We will get to how you can find your way to both in just a minute.
Why virgins? Because the church has been set apart to be holy and pure, undefiled and kept blameless as the bride of Christ.
Bridegroom = Jesus
The time period is between his first coming and his second and final coming, which will be judgment day.
The lamps and the oil = genuine faith in Jesus, five of the virgins were foolish and brought no oil, five of the virgins were wise and brought flasks of oil.
The purpose of the lamps was to shine light on the bridegroom when he arrived. As Jesus has said in other places, let ...

The Chair of the GC100, National Grid's company secretary and general counsel Helen Mahy, has called on all in-house departments and law firms to offer work experience to school children from deprived areas.
Following a meeting with the Commission for Racial Equality, Mahy and National Grid's senior legal adviser Harriet Hill piloted a work experience scheme for sixth-formers from Raine's Foundation School in Bethnal Green.
"I'd really like to encourage other in-house departments and law firms, wherever they are and however big or small they are, to get in touch with a local school where pupils may not otherwise have the opportunity of experiencing work in a law firm or an in-house legal team," said Mahy. "They will probably bite your hand off."
National Grid has only four in-house lawyers, but has found space for four students to gain experience working in an office environment.
The students have worked with the legal and company secretarial team, helping with research and even attending contract negotiations.
"With dozens of people competing for every training place, the bar is set very high. These kids have a higher bar to jump over to get to where many people consider the baseline to be," said Mahy. "This provides them with exposure to a different world and they can see that this is something that they can do."
The initiative sits well with National Grid's inclusion and diversity programme. Last year the company surveyed the diversity schemes of its external law firms, looking at recruitment and retention of ethnic minorities, flexible working and community relationships.
It was not part of a tendering exercise, but firms became more aware of National Grid's views.

Oktoberfest in Munich
One Day in Munich
Was here fora business trip and was craving american coffee. This place had everything you could want. I tried the meat muffins with sour cream, they were the best ievwr had. I wish we had this chain inthe usa.
It is a good spot to have a drink while visiting the BMW showroom. Good ambiance. Refreshing stop. Good choice of beverages.
After long walk in the exhibition you need to take rest and have some drink .The cafe served fantastic desert and coffee.This place for snack not heavy meal.
A staggering view of BM's and fantastic food whilst you eat/drink. This is well worth stopping at after your visit as well as before! Excellent and worth the Euros spent.
The long walk requires a coffee break and no better place than this to make it happen. Small short eats will just be perfect for a late afternoon snack
When in BMW welt and enjoiying long strolls this is much needed. Before lunch if you want to be giving some rest to legs this is ideal bahana
The BMW welt is a big area and lot of walk and this is a much needed for a relaxing break.Sip of coffee, wine and some brownies plus pasta. Overall much needed to have this for a break
Do not come here. I took a seat outside, waited for 10min without service, so I went inside to find out what is going on, after waiting at the counter for service I got into a shouting match with one of the waiters and was told just to wait at a table outside someone will attend to me. I decided...
With my son we had lunch, took the menu of the day for only €8,- pp. It's a nice place to relax and gain energy for the next part
If you are visiting BMW Welt or the BMW museum you can make a stop and have a coffee there. The coffee quality is good, the place is nice, confortable. I dont need anymore

He underwent training at Catterick garrison in North Yorkshire after passing security checks and had been assigned to sentry duties at Windsor Castle. The soldier was arrested by Hampshire police this week following a car crash, which revealed he had several aliases.

text: It was HOT yesterday; 101 degrees hot. It was so hot that when I opened up my car door at 2:30 to head home after a long morning of back-to-school meetings and workshops I thought I would spontaneously combust. ********** At one of the breaks during a workshop yesterday I overheard a new colleague talking with her boss. The boss had scheduled a meeting for later that day and the new colleague couldn't make it. She didn't provide a reason, but the boss kept probing. "Is it an appointment? Can you reschedule?" "No," the new employee simply said, her eyes steady, her chin held a little high. She was unflinching, yet I saw a little wavering in her lips. I recognized it well. Hold strong, I said to myself, hoping I could send vibes her way through some type of thought transference. I knew, from talking with her earlier in the morning, that she had two young children. I also knew instinctively, from my heart to my bones, the way all working mothers do, that the reason she couldn't attend this impromptu meeting was because of a childcare issue. Back when I first started teaching I would have offered up a zillion other excuses rather than admit to a superior that I couldn't attend a meeting because of my children. In that new colleague's face I saw myself, seven years ago, wearing my motherhood buried underneath layers of what I thought was a professional, necessary, exterior. I was fiercely proud of my motherhood, and deeply in love with it, too, but I intuitively sensed a lack of acceptance of it at work; and when childcare issues arose as they constantly did I felt the stress mount inside, that fear of discovery, of a weakness laid bare and open--ready to be pounced upon. But that was then. I'm older, and maybe a little wiser, too. Even if some of the professional world doesn't see it my way, I am proud to wear my motherhood openly now. I know it's made me not only a better person, but a better, more patient, more capable teacher, too. ********** I left the meeting early, at 2:30, so I could pick up L. from school. As I stepped out into the blazing heat (I swear I heard my clothes sizzle), I passed another colleague--one coming, just as I was so obviously going. "Are you leaving early?" He asked. "Yup," I said. And then I surprised myself by wincing, just a little--not outwardly as in the old days, but inwardly, just a teeny bit--an old habit, I think. "A-HA!" He said, jokingly, but with a tone that implied I was sneaking off, doing something wrong. "I have to pick up my son from school," I said, then wondered why I felt the need to justify my departure. But it felt good, anyway, saying the words out loud. I said them for myself, and for that new colleague, still finding her way; I said them for my kids, and for all the moms out there who straddle two worlds (or three or four). I said them for that part of myself that still feels a little raw and vulnerable and exposed, even after all these years.

Ultra-High Voltage Multijunction Organic Solar Cells for Low-Power Electronic Applications
Low power electronics are an ideal application for organic photovoltaics (OPV) where a low-cost OPV device can be integrated directly with a battery to provide a constant power source. We demonstrate ultra-high voltage small molecule multijunction devices with open circuit voltage (VOC) values of up to 7V. Optical modelling is employed to aid the optimisation of the complex multi-layer stacks and ensure current balancing is achieved between sub-cells, and optimised multijunction devices show power conversion efficiencies of up to 3.4% which is a modest increase over the single junction devices. Sub-cell donor/acceptor pairs of boron subphthalocyanine chloride (SubPc)/fullerene (C60) and SubPc/Cl6-SubPc were selected both for their high VOC in order to minimise the required number of junctions, but also for their absorption overlap to reduce the spectral dependence of the device performance. As a result, the devices are shown to directly charge a micro-energy cell type battery under both low illumination intensity white light and monochromatic illumination.
