The internet is already full of its rumor, the next generation Samsung Galaxy S Smartphone, the last debuted Galaxy S III pulled the market so well, became Samsung best selling smartphone, in fact, the best selling overall smartphone more than even Apple iPhones, the Galaxy S III was a great success for the Korean electronics giant. Now it's time to release its senior brother, the Samsung Galaxy S IV, but it may come later that the Apple iPhone 5s. The rumor has gone up to posting of pictures and mock ups, we recently have a picture of the awaited Samsung Galaxy S IV posted by Sammobile along with its expected specifications. Rumor has it that the Samsung Galaxy S IV device will be coming with a 4.99 inch Super AMOLED Full HD display having a resolution of 1920 X 1080 pixels. More specs for the Samsung Galaxy S IV according to the rumor includes; a 2 GHz quad core Samsung Exynos 5450 processor with a Mail-T658 GPU, supported by a RAM of 2 GB, the camera at the rear has a power of 13 megapixel while it is also facilitated with a video calling camera with 2 megapixel. The rumor also has it that the Samsung Galaxy S IV will be coming out of the box running the latest Android 4.2.1. Next week is scheduled for this year's CES, we may have a hint for this device at the conference, or at worst we wait for the February 2013 MWC. But trust us, as soon as we get anything solid about the Samsung Galaxy S IV device, we will keep you posted on techatlast.com. One of the popular topics being discussed about the Samsung Galaxy S IV smartphone is that it may come later after the Apple next generation iPhone, iPhone 5s or iPhone 6 as the case may be. This is a strategy by Apple to saturate the market already before Samsung device got released. As no solid information is being released from both mobile giants, we have got to wait until we get information, but for now, we stick to rumors and mock ups. I know you will have something to say about this device, the comment box is open for you to make known your thought and opinion. ©2015 TechAtLast Int'l Media, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry with how long this took to update. I found Becker's POV in this scene, which I'd come up with to suit Jess, kinda difficult. It's my own fault really. Anywho, thank so so so so much for reading and reviewing this you guys! You're all wonderful people! I'll ramble some more at the end - for now, this is Becker's POV. :)
It was ridiculous.
I was fine - I had been trained extensively and for years to effectively handle high tension situations like the one we'd been in today. And I had been in them before, after all. Obviously never with somebody I cared about as much as I cared about Jess by my side, so perhaps I was a little more distracted than usual, but still… we had handled it together.
We had looked after each other, and we had come out of it completely fine.
Therefore, I could drive - I was perfectly capable of getting in my own vehicle and driving back to the ARC like I had done so many times before. Jess knew it, the soldiers knew it, I knew it.
Yet my men insisted on adhering to protocol.
Why did I have to discipline them, again?
I rolled my eyes as I fidgeted in the car. Jess caught my gaze as I looked across the seats at her: she smirked, evidently knowing exactly what I was thinking.
How did she do that?
She never ceased to amaze me.
As I half-glared back she mouthed "Stop sulking" amusedly.
I rolled my eyes at her again, mouthing "I'm not." in defence. Even as I did it I was aware that I sounded like a child.
She laughed aloud, shaking her head to show that she didn't believe me, but turned back to the window.
I watched her for a moment, transfixed - she was dusty, dishevelled and tired - understandable since she'd just diffused a bomb - but she was still cheerful, optimistic, fun. Still Jess.
She was stronger than she looked.
She had saved my life.
I couldn't help a smile form on my lips. For a moment, it stayed plastered there, becoming a grin, until I realised what I was doing.
I glanced wearily, and quickly, at the two soldiers in front of us, behind the wheel and in the passenger seat, just in case they noticed my reaction - the last thing I needed was for my men to have a reason to make fun of me.
Garrett, who was driving, smirked as his eyes flicked back to the road through the rear-view mirror. Johnson, thankfully, hadn't noticed.
To distract myself from everything, I took out the EMD from my holster and set about disassembling and reassembling the weapon.
It relaxed me a little.
Jess went straight to the hub, probably to sit at her computer and enjoy the familiarity and comfort it offered, as I hurried down to the armoury - my comfort.
I knew Lester would want a report as soon as possible - he'd radioed in over the Comms (even Jess was surprised he'd remembered how the system worked) to let Matt and I know he wanted to speak with us as soon as possible.
I knew Matt would be at least ten minutes, coming from home, so I decided to get the brief written and out of the way.
Seven minutes later I managed to print off a report, enlisting the help of some poor girl who I recognised as working near Jess sometimes on the smaller computers, and took the lift back up to the hub.
As the doors opened I heard Matt's voice mentioning my name, and then Jess' confused one followed with, "He went…"
"I'm right here," I interrupted them, swinging the report in my right hand as I made my way across the room, heading towards Lester's office. I glanced at Matt as I went, "Going to see Lester?"
"Yeah," Matt confirmed.
He joined me by the doorway, giving me a cursory glance, raising his eyebrows at my dishevelled look, and then we entered Lester's office.
"Don't you people ever knock?" The bureaucrat asked sarcastically.
"Sorry, sir, must have slipped my mind, what with all the bomb diffusing today..."
He raised his eyebrows at me. "I heard that was more of Jess' success than yours."
"She certainly did all the work," I agreed.
"And you have your report?"
"Right here," I indicated the file in my hand as I turned it over to him. To his credit, Lester tried to hide his surprise - I wasn't ever good with a desk job so deadlines weren't really my strong suit - I didn't blame him for being surprised.
Lester perused the file for a moment. Matt remained rigid, as if he had all the time in the world. After the events of the day, I was uncharacteristically fidgety again: it wasn't like me to be impatient, but I couldn't stay still with all the adrenaline that had run through my body earlier.
I could have died.
For a moment I'd even been convinced I was about to die.
Surprisingly, that didn't happen too often - I knew I could die, every day I knew it, but I never really thought about 'What if it was today?' I think the fear would slowly consume me if I did.
Jess had saved my life, and for that I was eternally grateful.
Would I ever get a chance to return the favour?
I hoped I didn't - I never wanted her to be in that position.
"Lester, Ethan is still out there," Matt brought me back to the office.
Lester looked up from the report, blinking and suddenly focussing his gaze on us. He hesitated, examining us, pausing in his 'Lester-like' way, before declaring sarcastically, "Well, what are you waiting for? That is your job, isn't it?"
Matt and I exchanged a disbelieving look as we turned and exited the room.
"We'll start fresh tomorrow morning. Get some sleep, Becker," Matt told me as we wondered over to the main control desk where the others were dawdling, catching the last part of their conversation.
"Connor…" Abby reprimanded her awkward boyfriend in an undertone. "Stop talking."
I went and stood beside the table by Jess, whilst Matt and Lester remained on top of the stairs.
"Jess," Lester addressed her as she crossed her legs and sat up straighter in her chair. "I just read Becker's report - you come off like a hero."
Thanks for declaring that to the world, Lester.
She blushed, looking everywhere but at me.
I had to stop myself from doing the same - fidgeting with my EMD did the job well. I boosted the charger and played with the safety catch until Abby spoke up.
"You two make quite a team," she teased.
I didn't think I could handle any more from her - Abby and Connor seemed to thrive in awkward situations. They loved them. Ever since they'd gotten back from the Cretaceous they enjoyed nothing more than to watch others squirm.
I rolled my eyes and retreated to the armoury.
I wanted to talk to Jess - see how she was, maybe force her to be checked over again by the ARC medic before she went home, and thank her.
I'd do it later, when the others left and weren't on the lookout for more things to tease us about.
I sighed as I entered the armoury.
I wasn't afraid of raptors, killer insects or future predators, but I did not talk about feelings. Not openly anyway.
Unfortunately, that's when I walked right into Garrett as he was returning his EMD to the charger bay.
"Everything okay, Captain?"
"Fine," I replied as I set about checking the EMD stores.
"How's Jess Parker?"
My hand hesitated for a split second over a gun, then I continued. "She says she's okay. I think she's still in shock though. I'm going to check on her later before I leave for the night."
"See you in two days then, Captain," He turned to leave.
"Two days?"
"You're not on the rota for tomorrow, Sir," He spun back to tell me.
"I'm not?" I concentrated on the floor for a second. "Well, I think I'll come in anyway, just to make sure… you know, given the situation.. I have work to do with Matt..."
Garrett raised his eyebrows at me. "I'm sure we could handle it without you for a day, Captain. You need some rest. You deserve it after today."
"All the same, Garrett, I think I'd best come in," I stated, subtly but kindly reminding him of my authority.
Garrett got the message, nodding once and walking out the door. Just before he left I heard him mutter back, "I'm sure Jess will be glad to see you."
I started as he left and the two soldiers on the other side of the room grinned at my expression.
"Wha-" I thought it best to deny any rumours of Jess and I to them, but, to my surprise, I couldn't bring myself to say it. Besides, they weren't buying my half-hearted protests.
"Relax, Captain," They smirked. "We all know she's got a thing for you."
"And vice versa," another soldier finished.
I froze.
She did?
No, ignore that. You don't have a 'thing' for Jess… you just… you're friends.
Oh, who are you kidding? Even the soldiers have noticed it.
For a moment I debated what to do: punish them for embarrassing me or let it go.
In the end I chose rationality - it was unfair to give them extra shifts and push ups simply because my ego was hurt.
I settled for glaring at them both. "Shouldn't you two be manning the gate?"
They hesitated, not expecting me to breeze right past the comment, then realised what I'd said and hurried off to work.
I sighed, standing in the middle of the empty, cold armoury for a moment.
I checked the clock - the others should have left by now, it was late, but Jess was most definitely still be sitting up by the ADD.
I decided to take the stairs - it wasn't far and the exercise would help me clear my head. Despite this, when I reached the corridor leading into the main control room I heard the unmistakable sound of Abby and Jess.
"Uh huh?"
Abby was teasing Jess, that much I knew. I took the last few steps into the room carefully and slowly, prolonging their realisation of my arrival, just to try and make out what they were saying.
"I mean, I was… you know, the route was-"
"Jessica?" I interrupted, deciding her sentences were so incoherent I wasn't going to gauge any real understanding of the conversation from her. I may as well put her out of her misery.
They all jumped - Abby, Jess and Connor, who I hadn't seen - and turned to me with identical expressions on their faces. It was unnerving. Whatever they had been talking about definitely involved me.
I gave Abby and Connor suspicious looks, reserving a smile for Jess, who had obviously been the victim in this conversation.
"Y-Yes?" She responded.
"Never mind," I glanced at Abby's smile of fake innocence then back at Jess. I'd talk to her when the others were gone. "I'll tell you later."
"That's okay, we were just leaving. Weren't we, Connor?"
"Well, actually, I was just going to ask-"
"Now, Connor," Abby and him shared a look, one which obviously contained a hidden meaning, because he responded with a quick, "Right," and they left, whispering animatedly as they did so.
As soon as the coast was clear and Jess and I clustered round the ADD, I asked, "What was that about?"
"Oh, you know Abby and Connor…" She mumbled, averting her gaze.
I wasn't dumb - she didn't want to tell me. As curious as I was, if Jess wanted to keep it to herself, I'd respect that. Besides, Abby's mischievous eyes scared me - I didn't think I'd want to know.
Jess turned to the main computer and I to the laptop on the desk besides her, trying to log in. I say 'trying' because I had never got the hang of the ARC's computer system - I could surf the internet and stuff, but anything too technical just wouldn't stick in my mind. I didn't really need the laptop for anything either, I just wanted to stay a little longer. Hopefully work up the courage to show some feelings without my words coming out wrong and offending Jess.
I mentally scoffed at myself. You're a soldier yet you still have to 'work up' the courage to speak to a girl?
Suddenly Lester's muffled voice sounded through the glass division. "Well it was all under my guidance, of course," He boasted.
I glanced up at the door, then towards Jess with a disbelieving look. I rolled my eyes at his boast. Jess shook her head, smiling, good naturedly.
"After all the work he's done tonight he deserves a knighthood," She joked.
I smiled back. Exactly what I was thinking, Jessica.
When I turned back to the computer the screen read: 'Locked out. User/Password combination incorrect.'
I stabbed my index finger at the enter key in frustration. Ammunition was much less aggravating, at least it did exactly what you told it to do - followed a straight line. Computers, on the other hand, just seemed to have a mind of their own.
"Jess, this thing's locked me out," I turned to her, expecting the smirk I caught on her face. She didn't smirk too often - it wasn't really Jess-like - but when she did she still managed to look beautiful. "Can you fix it?"
She sighed, evidently loving being the one in charge, as she rolled her chair beside me and in front of the laptop. I leaned forward to get a better look at what she was doing, even though I knew I wouldn't understand it.
"Honestly Becker, you can face down raptors and diffuse bombs but you can't sign in to a computer?"
As she smiled at me, a teasing glint in her eyes, I felt my heart jolt. Instead of replying with words immediately, I gave her a mock-warning look of "Oh, you really want to go there?"
Her smile seemed to spread even further towards her eyes by the time I managed to speak coolly, "I'm not exactly into technology, Jessica. Unless it involves firepower."
She raised her hands in mock surrender, grinning widely, as she turned back to the computer and set to work helping me. I chuckled under my breath - she knew exactly how to gauge my mood.
It was silent for a few minutes. The sound of the second hand on the clock ticked loudly as I pretended to watch her work, when in fact I was just watching her.
She was so… serene. So calm.
I was right beside her - so close to her that I barely had to sound my next words; I swear she could have just heard them in my head if I thought them loudly enough.
"Thank you, Jessica," I managed to breathe out. She froze in surprise, tilting her head to look up at me. She was so close. "For saving my life today."
She blushed, even I felt like blushing, but we kept eye contact.
"You told me what to do, Becker," She whispered honestly. "You told me… I just did what you told me to do."
"Still," I had to interrupt her. She could play the 'You're the real hero' card on me, but she wasn't fooling either of us: it had been her who had saved our lives, saved the building, today. "You could have left- You should have left," I pretended to mock glare at her but we both knew I was half serious. After a moment I left my features become soft, as I only ever did around her. "But you didn't, you stayed and helped me… so thank you, Jessica."
I didn't think I knew anybody else, apart from the main field team, who would have done that for me.
She took a deep breath in at that. Not surprised I'd conveyed my gratefulness, but surprised I was being so… emotional. To be honest, I was surprised at myself.
"You're welcome," She grinned back happily, returning to her usual cheerful mood and turning back to the laptop. Tapping one last final key (rather dramatically) she declared, "There - all done."
She was so happy again. So Jess-like.
So perfect.
The thought manifested itself before I even had the time to squash it. It surprised me. I didn't even want to take it back. It was true, completely true.
Jessica Parker was more than absolutely brilliant.
Oh no, Becker. You're in trouble now.
I hadn't really fallen for anybody before, but I'd fallen for her. A woman quite a bit younger than me.
I felt a small smile tug at the corner of my lips as I realised something else, I didn't care. I didn't care if she was seven years younger than me, if it seemed like a lot because she hadn't long been classed an adult whilst I was twenty six.
I cared about her.
I blinked back to my surroundings as I realised I wasn't just picturing her face, I was seeing it right in front of me. A very self-conscious, confused face. "What…" She protested slightly at my unwavering gaze.
"Can you promise me something?" I suddenly had to ask her, I had to make sure I did everything I could to ensure she was okay. She thankfully acquiesced immediately. "Don't ever go out into the field again."
Her eyebrows creased in confusion, but when I smiled, she smiled.
"Deal," She agreed.
Firstly, how AWESOME was the finale? Awesome, I tell you. Apart from the lack of Jecker, but still... we'll all pretend there was amble Jecker in 5x6, shall we? :) Who's hoping (perhaps rather futily) for a series 6?... PLEASE, pretty please, writers/funders?
Oh, and also, I totally called Jess taking her noisy (but amazing!) heels off, did I not? Okay, so not in the same way that it actually happened, but still... Lol.
Secondly, thank you again for reading! And reviewing (hint, hint? Please?) and I just want to let you all know that I'm writing another Jecker fic, probably set after 5x6 but could be whenever really, unless I can't resist to put in something about Abby/Connor. Basically, I'll hint: cue Becker meeting the whole extended Parker family at a barbeque. :)

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - May 18, 1997, New Braunfels, Texas Herald-Zeitung □ Sunday, May 18, 1997 Q9A arris is pleased to announce the opening SmkMmini Breast Surgery: Enlargement, Reduction jBfijfl Post-Cancer Reconstruction flWB Laser Removal of Wrinkles I >HKIHB Body Contour Surgery: Tummy Tick, WA c ^ Liposuction Information key to fighting cancer effectively By TERRI BROTZE Special to the Herald-Zeitung It is 56-year-old Denny Somoskey's perserverance and willingness to dig for the truth that saved her life and her sanity in her four year battle with rectal cancer. "My cancer was a fast growing cancer. It multiplied. They considered I had it six months. If I didn't do something right away, I could " . , die," recalls Dormy Somootey somoskey. Found in a routine exam one October morning in 1993, the small lump or quamous cell carcinoma sat at the very bottom of her bowel just inside the rectum with very little evidence of being there. "It felt like cauliflower. It was lumpy," Somoskey remembered. "But the funny thing was, I didn't have any symptoms. I had been sweating, sweeping up sawdust, and running around tending to the business of building a house all summer long. My bowel just seemed a little irritated." Two days later, a colonoscopy followed by surgery to remove her rectum, part of the colon and the back part of the vagina sent her into a tailspin, "You get the news, the doctors tell you what you have to do and your gut tells you, boom, this is it" She said she believed it was important to have someone there with you to help sort things out from the very moment the cancer is revealed. "My husband was out of town the day my doctor found the lump. My son was in San Antonio. I didn't know where to go or what to do. I finally ended up at a nurse friend's house. I remember the look on her face when I said, 'I have cancer,'" Somoskey said with tears in her eyes. "She and her husband took me home. I broke the news to my husband and son, and crawled into bed. That was the last time I felt sorry for myself." Instead of self pity, Somoskey became determined to find out everything there was to know about the disease. She spoke to friends and support groups and read everything she could find about the disease. "The doctors had a hard time coming down to my level. They spent so much time talking with me. But I never could understand what ACS Starligh Gala The Comal County American Cancer Society provides extensive information for cancer victims and their families. Contact Bob Peterson for complete information at 625-3252. The only fund raiser for the local ACS unit ''Starlight in Red, White and Blue" opens at the Civic Center at 7:00 p.m. Friday June 20th with a military flair this year. The black tie affair offers elegant fun, and entertainment by "The Fairmonts", catering by Clear Springs starting at $100 per couple. For reservations contact Gala Chairman Kathy McLeod. You could save a life. was going on, so I learned on my own." Two months after the surgery, Somoskey was required to take triple doses of chemotherapy before and after radiation five days a week for two months. "They said I had to take it for maintenance, just in case some of the cancer was left behind," said Somoskey. She said she believed it was the radiation and chemo treatments that changed her life. "They shot my hips one day and front and back the other day. They mark you and have black out spots. The doctor said I may have just a little scar tissue on the bladder and that was it" But instead, Somoskey was left with second and third degree bums, damaging her bladder, liver and vagina. "Nobody ever considered the vaginal area. They could have blacked it out, It became shoe leather ... brown and purple." Three gynecologists later and four long years of digging and questioning finally brought Somoskey the answer she'd been looking for. "A friend suggested reconstructive surgery. So I searched for the best plastic anti reconstructive surgeon. He told me my problem was correctable." But, the doctor also told her the procedure used was in fact invented by one of the gynecologists she had previously seen. "Now why wouldn't that doctor, if he invented the procedure, give me that option? The information was there, yet it wasn't given to me." Looking back, Somoskey said she y. Mfflsel Harris, is pleased to announce the opening of his practice in Adult and Pediatric Urology. Dr. Harris is leaving his current position as WL L Ii Assistant Professor of .Urology at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Bi Antonio and Chief of Urology at the Audie L. HKom-I Murphy Veterans Hospital to join Cary Leverett, M.D. Together Dr. Harris and Dr. Leverett will form Comal Urology Associates New patients will be welcome July 1, 1997.

She's not alone. Dr. Richard Evans, an oncology surgeon in Houston, said surgeries of today are as radical as they were 20 years ago with many cancers, even though statistics show heavily that conservative treatments are as effective and much less painful for the patient. "We used to believe a cancerous tissue had to be removed along with everything around it. Then zapped with 5,000 to 6,000 rads and high doses of chemotherapy no matter where the cancer was found or how big it was. That's just not so. Studies in Canada, Europe and the United States show a conservative treatment provides the same life expectancy as a radical and offers a better life for the patient," Evans said. "The recurrence rate is exactly the same as a radical procedure." Yet he said a radical procedure is recommended by the medical community most of the time. "It's simply of stubbiness on the part of some doctors. It's an ego thing for others. They are used to calling the shots. Now the patient wants all the information and should have it to make their own decisions about how they, the patient, wants to manage their disease." The author of "Making the Right Choice, Treatment Options in Cancer Surgery," Evans recommends anyone diagnosed with cancer to seek a second opinion from a conservative doctor. "They can be hard to locate. Talk to support groups and friends in the medical field. Anyone who has been through a bout with cancer will have a lot of information to share." He said the Internet is one of the best resources for cancer victims. "The Internet has cancer support groups nationwide. Dialogue with ra.m>w them. Send them an EMail. You can learn as much about the cancer in your body as your doctor knows." But, Evans encourages cancer victims to get rid of the cancer as quickly as possible. "Get a second opinion, then get the disease out of your body right away. Early detection is still the most effective way. But find out about the radiation and chemo before you do it." He suggests: 1. Ask your doctor what the advantage of radiation or chemo would be for your particular cancer in your age bracket. 2. What are the possible complications or side effects 3. Determine the attitude of your surgeon or doctor (i.e. are they sympathetic or hostile toward conservative treatment) 4. When did your doctor or surgeon begin treating cancer patients (many conservative surgeries began in the mid-1980s) 5. Check out or purchase books relating to your particular cancer. 6. Dialogue with other patients right away. 7. Check into other options such as hormonal therapy or cryosurgery (the freezing of cancer cells). 8. Find out what your body will be like after the surgery and treatment is complete (i.e. will all your parts be working as they were before). Evans said the bottom line is for patients to expect and require complete information from their physicians at every stage and every level. "You have to take a stand," he said.

Make the Most of Now
Fiona had the time of her life as she was a child. She had the perfect friends up until the day she had to leave her childhood and move into the real world.
Having to leave her best friend was the hardest thing she had ever done. Would she be able to cope without Jake? The one person who truly understands her, and the one
person she had fallen in love with.
A Short Story meant to remind all you readers about the bliss times we all had during our childhood.
A/N: This story is supposed to remind you of precious childhood memories and of friends that you have lost, but have left foot prints on your heart. True friends stay with you forever. This story was not meant to be some cheesy romance, but it was meant to make you remember the good old times. Please ignore any typos or grammatical errors because I am still just learning =)
Thanks for taking the time to actually read my short story. You do not know how much I appreciate it.
Make the Most of Now
A Short Story
I stared at the gates blankly, trying to convince myself this was not my last day in Year 7. I was trying not to face the inevitable. This was actually my very last day in Year 7 and there was nothing that I could do about it. This was the day I would leave all my friends and join some other school. This was the day I would leave Jake.
In most countries, High School starts in Year 7, but Australia was different. Primary Schools ended in Year 7 and High School started in Year 8. Unlike most Year 7's, I was 13 instead of 12. Due to some really wacky law, I was put down a year because I was born after June. I missed out in being a Year 8 by only a few months, but I was glad I had. I wouldn't have met Jake, or all these other friends.
I bit my lip, trying not to get all teary. I wish this day would never end. I didn't want to leave my friends at all, in particular, Jake.
"Fiona!" called the familiar, boyish voice.
I turned around and saw the familiar Latino, with his black curly hair and tanned skin, walking up to me. "Come here, Fi..." Jake's voice trailed off when he saw my expression. "Hey, no need to get all teary. Make the most of now, hey?"
Jake could always tell what was wrong, and always knew how to help. He tucked the stray strands of my strawberry blonde hair behind me ear before taking my hand as we walked through the gates for the last time. Since this was only Year 7, people immediately assumed Jake and I were together. I tried hard not to roll my eyes at how judgemental and immature some of the people at this school were. All because Jake and I were practically joined at the hip didn't mean that we were dating.
Or so I thought.
"Hey Fiona!" called one of my best friends, Lilly. "Looks like you and Jake should make the most of now since it's your last 9 hours together," she advised. Lilly was one of my only friends who was going to the same High School as me. I was glad that I had at least one friend to accompany me in High School.
"That was what I said," muttered Jake under his breath, as if he was talking to himself.
"What was what you said?" I asked, unsure of what Jake was talking about.
"You don't need to do rocket science to remember I was telling you to 'make the most of now' less than 10 minutes ago," he teased.
I rolled my eyes and walked up to class.
Another thing about Year 7 being in Primary School was that each grade was split into 2 and had only one class each for the whole year. We didn't have a teacher for each subject. We only had one teacher for the whole year.
Jake was Mr Beverly's pet. He always got straight A's and was always the most organised in class. Today was entirely different. Jake barely paid attention to Mr Beverly due to his attempts in making me laugh. Of course, he succeeded. Though Mr Bev was strict, he understood what it was like to be leaving all your friends. The teacher continued to ignore us before finally giving up and saying: "That's it! I am sick of being the goody good teacher. Go muck around. Free play day or whatever you want to call it."
The class erupted into cheers and everyone started talking.
"Wow. Mr Bev must be having a great day!" said Jake.
"Definitely not better than ours!" I exclaimed. I had to admit, this was one of the best days with Jake. We barely ever touched and today we were holding hands.
Lilly ran out of class and later on came back with a CD player and put some music on. The teacher didn't care. He simply smiled at us and took photos. I wondered if I would ever be able to see those pictures when I was older.
Jake and I pushed all the chairs and desks to the side of the room and then we started dancing like idiots. Soon enough, all of our class was singing "BABY! BABY! BABY! WOOOH!" Despite that Jake loathed Justin Bieber (like the rest of the boys in our class) he decided to join in with a mocking voice of a little girl.
When a slow song came on, the boys moaned loudly and started talking. Jake and I decided to dance.
"Do you know how to waltz?" he whispered.
"Heck no! But let's pretend," I giggled.
At that moment, my eyes were momentarily blinded from a bright flash. Mr Beverly had taken a photo of us, a photo I wished to see some day.
Overall, the day was brilliant. Mr Bev actually cut us some slack, which he literally never did. It was the final bell that made my world go upside down.
This is it, I thought. It's all over. Everything. The day started with laughter and joy, and now it was time for the farewells.
"Cya next year!" said Lilly as she walked off in a hurry. At least I had Lilly, I reminded myself.
I hugged some of my other friends, who were tempting me to cry with their own tears. When they were all gone, I sat down and simply waited for Jake.
"Fi! There you are," called a boyish voice.
Oh no. I don't want to do it. I don't want to say goodbye. I don't want to lose Jake. I don't want to lose his optimistic views towards everything and his sarcasm.
Jake came up next to me and sat beside me on the bench. I avoided his gaze, trying not to show how devastated I was on him leaving.
"Come on Fi. It's our last day and now you're avoiding me," he said with a gentle but hurt tone.
I turned up to look at him, and saw something in his eyes I never noticed before: deep affection and care. But what hit me hard was the little hint of love in his eyes. To my surprise, Jake cupped my face and pulled me into a passionate kiss. The kiss was so overwhelming that I could only kiss back. A tear rolled down my cheek at how touching this moment was. My best friend was kissing me in our final minutes together.
When he pulled away, he had a sad smile on his face.
"Don't worry Fi," he said. "I will come back for you some day."
With that he left me there, crying. He left me to spend High School alone, and he left me waiting.
Five Years Later
A lot had changed from that day. I was more dedicated to school work than ever. Lilly always lectured me about cutting some slack. Even though I was ecstatic to have a friend all the way from Year 1 till now, I still wanted my Jake back. Lilly never noticed how much I missed Jake. Sometimes, I myself never noticed that I was missing Jake.
My first day at Uni was like my first day at Kindergarten and High School. All I knew was that there were going to be new experiences in stall for me. Maybe I would find the one despite that all my previous boyfriends never worked out. Maybe I should just forget Jake instead of expecting him to pop up out of nowhere.
As per usual, Lilly and I ate lunch together. Lilly was rambling on about something I couldn't care less about when she stopped in mid sentence, her eyes going wide as she stared at something behind me.
"Did you miss me?" called a voice ever so familiar. A voice that made me drop my spoon and slowly turn my head around, too scared to face who was behind me.
When I finally managed to face him, he was there. Literally there! And he was wearing a badge that had the Universities logo on it. He was going to be here throughout the entire 4 years of Uni! I thought he was gone forever, I thought he had forgotten about me. But he hadn't. A tear slowly made its way down to my chin, a tear of pure joy.
Jake was obviously more muscular and his childlike face was now handsome. Though his boyish voice was now husky, I could still recognise it. His hair, however, was still curly black like it always used to be.
"Jake!" I exclaimed, not believing my eyes.
"Hey there, Fi," he said with a wide grin on his face.
I jumped up and hugged him, kissed him, and cried even harder. It was like old times. From then on, we were joined at the hip all over again, but this time, we would be joined forever.
18 Years Later
Jane and Alexander were crouched over an old photo album they had found in their class. Despite that they were siblings, they had both been put into the same class with no other than Mr Beverly. They quickly turned the pages, finding nothing that interested them except for one picture.
"Who do you think that girl and that boy are?" asked Jane as she brushed the dust off the page.
Alexander, who was the smarter of the siblings, observed the picture intently. "Well that boy looks Latino. And they both seem to like each other a lot."
Jane nodded, her black curls bouncing as she did so. "I agree. I mean, why else would they be dancing together?"
They sat in silence for a little while, trying to find the story behind the picture.
"I wonder who they are," Alexander said, repeating Jane's previous question.
Mr Beverly, who had been looking over their shoulders, startled them both by answering the question.
"By Year 7, I thought you kids would be smart enough to figure out that you are staring at your own parents!"

To protect corporate officers' and board members' personal assets, we work with clients and carriers to review and customize appropriate lines of coverage to meet individual risk profiles. RCM&D works with the following forms of D&O Liability coverage:
Public D&O: Changing regulations have exposed publicly-traded corporations and their boards to increased exposure (e.g. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Dodd-Frank legislation, etc.). Personal assets of directors of public companies are at a greater risk than ever before. Our solutions safeguard these assets.
Private D&O: Privately-held companies are often subject to public scrutiny. Employees, shareholders, customers, suppliers and others can initiate legal action against directors and board members. We assess current coverage and recommend need-appropriate solutions.
Non-Profit D&O: Legal action can also be directed against non-profit organizations and their boards, with litigation being costly and time consuming. In the event of an organization's insolvency following such litigation, the financial burden may be placed on its directors and officers. We structure Non-Profit D&O policies that are both affordable and comprehensive.
Side-A (DIC): For claims alleging wrongful acts, Side-A provides personal liability coverage to directors and officers when the company is unable to indemnify them legally or financially. Without this coverage, directors' and officers' personal assets can be at risk. RCM&D analyzes these exposures to identify and negotiate an optimal program.
Ready to continue the conversation? We'd like to. We are eager to discuss your risk and benefits management challenges, your organizational goals, and your appetite for new solutions based on your unique business needs.

The Nutrients in Chocolate
Fitness for mind and body.
The composition of cocoa and chocolate has been extensively studied. The fat in chocolate, which is primarily derived from cocoa, is comprised of two saturated fatty acids, palmitic and stearic acids, and the monounsaturated oleic acid, in addition to a small amount (less than 5 percent) of other fatty acids.
Although consumption of saturated fats thought to raise cholesterol, and thus raise the risk of heart disease, regular consumption of cocoa butter and chocolate has been repeatedly shown to not raise blood cholesterol.
Chocolate is an Herb!
It's true, chocolate is considered an herb. The Mayans of Central America worshipped the cacao plant (Theobroma cacao), used its beans as money, and brewed them into a medicinal drink called xocolatl, mixed with wine and fermented corn. The later Aztecs of Mexico added chile peppers to make an aphrodisiac.
The explorer Cortez knew a good thing when he saw it, and took the cacoa beans back to the Spanish court, where passions soon ran high over chocolate-and not just because (with sugar and without chiles) it was tasty. Doctors prescribed the new drink for everything from tuberculosis to intestinal parasites and sexual dysfunction, and it was said to cure hangovers, shrink tumors, and strengthen the heart.
More recently (and reliably), scientists have learned that chocolate has twice as many antioxidants as red wine, and that it may relax blood vessels and reduce the risk of blood clotting.
Further research has shown that this is probably due to the relatively high concentrations of stearic acid, which studies have shown to have a cholesterol-neutral effect, and oleic acid, which is known to have mild cholesterol-reducing effects. In addition to the fat and simple sugars present in chocolate, the cocoa component in chocolate is rich in a number of essential minerals, including magnesium, copper, potassium and manganese. Indeed, chocolate is thought to be one of the largest single contributors of copper to the diet in the United States.
Phytochemicals in Chocolate
In addition to the well-known and essential macro and micronutrients present in chocolate, there are a number of phytochemicals in cocoa and chocolate that may have important health effects in humans.
Phytochemicals are naturally occurring chemical compounds present in plant foods such as cocoa, and they are attracting a great deal of interest in the nutrition and medical research community because of their potential health benefits beyond that of classical micronutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin D, etc. Over the years, cocoa has been recognized for its phytochemical content, especially the methyl xanthines caffeine and theobromine, and, more recently, the antioxidantflavonoids. Although chocolate is often thought to contain relatively large amounts of the stimulant caffeine, the actual amount is relatively low compared with that present in tea and coffee. A large number of other compounds are naturally present in cocoa and chocolate; however, none have yet been shown to influence human health and behavior.
Flavonoids in Chocolate
Of much greater interest in the context of health benefits is the rich flavonoid content of cacao and the relatively rich flavonoid content of some chocolates and cocoa powders. Flavonoids are part of a large and diverse class of phytochemicals called polyphenols. Several thousand flavonoids exist in substantial amounts in common plant-based foods, such as tea, chocolate, cocoa, soybeans and wine.
Interestingly, several decades ago flavonoids were thought to be essential micronutrients and equivalent to vitamins. However, subsequent research failed to confirm this, and their status as essential nutrients was officially removed in 1950. Epidemiological research, which studies the association between diet and health, in the last decade has suggested that some flavonoids might protect against certain chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular disease. However, the totality of the evidence is not conclusive and the results of these studies can be justifiably criticized due to a lack of reliable food composition data defining the true contribution commonly consumed foods make to flavonoid intake.
In spite of the equivocal nature of this research, the appealing nature of it has sparked needed research to understand the mechanism by which flavonoids might be able to protect against heart disease, and these results have shown that at least some flavonoids do have the potential to promote a healthy cardiovascular system.
More Good News: Dark Chocolate
There is more good news for chocolate lovers. Scientists have found that eating dark chocolate appears to improve the function of important cells lining the wall of blood vessels for at least three hours. In a study, they found that eating dark chocolate seemed to make the blood vessels more flexible, which helps prevent the hardening of the arteries that leads to heart attacks.
Dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids, which act as natural antioxidants -- chemicals that combat the damage oxygen does to the body. By improving the blood vessel flexibility in apparently healthy people, dark chocolate emerges as perhaps a power food, the scientists said (Information from a study done at Athens Medical School in Greece).
Dark chocolate is also rich on antioxidants. As such, dark chocolate may help prevent the accumulation of fat cells in the body, a precursor to heart disease and obesity, according to research from Taiwan published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry.
2014: Ongoing research shows that eating dark chocolate exerts beneficial effects throughout the whole body. High quality chocolate delivers disease-zapping antioxidants, lowers blood pressure and protects your heart and liver, all in one fell crunch.
Cocoa Butter Tidbits
Raw cocoa butter is the edible vegetable fat from cocoa beans, extracted from the cocoa beans during the process of making chocolate and cocoa powder. Cocoa butter has only a mild chocolate flavor and aroma.
Cocoa butter is one of the ingredients used to make real chocolate, it is gives chocolate the ability to remain solid at room temperature, yet melt easily in the mouth.
Cocoa butter is one of the most stable fats known, containing natural antioxidants that prevent rancidity and give it a storage life of 2 to 5 years. It is used for its smooth texture in foods (including chocolate) and in cosmetics and soaps.
Chocolate and Blood Pressure
Eating only 30 calories a day of dark -- but not white -- chocolate for 18 weeks lowered blood pressure by two or three points in a study of 44 middle-aged and older adults with either high blood pressure or prehypertension. That is equal to just 1-1/2 Special Dark Hershey's Kisses (though the German researchers did not use Hershey's). The dark-chocolate eaters had higher blood levels of S-nitrosoglutathione, which relaxes blood vessels. That could explain how dark chocolate lowers blood pressure!
Just remember -- you don't want to use these results as an excuse to over-indulge in chocolate! The people in this study ate too little chocolate to harm their weight. An overenthusiastic chocolate eater could get carried away, add pounds and have the opposite effect because excess poundage contributes to high blood pressure! So you probably don't want to "go there".
Note: The same results do not apply to white or milk chocolate or chocolate coatings, cake or ice cream. Actually, none of them were tested so I guess that means the jury is still out...
Did You Know?
Surprisingly low in calories and fat, flavorful cocoa is the only chocolate baking ingredient approved by the American Heart Association for use in fat-restricted diets.

Installing a new set of designer taps in a bathroom is one of the fastest ways to turn it from drab to fab instantly. Sleek, understated chrome taps in modern styles or ornate gold fixtures with a more traditional look can transform the way a whole bathroom feels. Bella Bathrooms, the online bathroom expert, has a vast selection of different tap types; here we list the top three and examine what to consider when purchasing new taps for a bathroom.
The Top Three
1. Edwardian
The Edwardian collection of taps for baths and basins harks back to an era of traditional, elaborate style. Their classic look would add a touch of old-world glamour to any bathroom, and from mixer taps with showerheads to the simpler separate basin taps, there is plenty of choice for those who want to pick this vintage theme and run with it. A chrome finish and a five-year warranty will ensure these taps remain an eye-catching fixture in a bathroom for many years.
2. Nevada
The Nevada bathroom taps are a minimalist's dream: why have two taps when one will do the job? Ideal for providing the finishing touch to a gleaming, modern bathroom, their squared-off shape commands attention at the head of the basin or the bath, and the fact that they are mixer taps means a constant and adjustable temperature whenever they are used. The unusual lever handle is stylish and different, whilst the slim, square shower head is easy to grip and easy to store when not in use.
3. Deva Georgian
Lastly, for a touch of real elegance and class, the Deva Georgian taps range features a selection of gold taps, mixers and showerheads with white ceramic discs that bring to mind high-end powder rooms from the 1920s. The perfect accompaniment to a gleaming white bathroom, these gold taps offer an element of classical interest to the room and would perfectly complement a delicate golden chandelier and a selection of vintage candlesticks. They are a great finishing touch, and their unusual design is bound to attract admiring comments from the guests who use them.
What to Consider When Buying Bathroom Taps
The first thing to do when choosing luxury bathroom taps is check the water pressure. The majority of traditional taps work fine with standard water pressure, but the mixer taps with showers fitted need a higher level of pressure to perform at their best. Ask a plumber or the local water company if you're unsure of how to go about this.
Once this has been verified, the style can be chosen. There is a simple rule of thumb here; choose small taps for small fixtures (such as cloakroom basins or bidets) and larger taps for the larger fixtures (like baths). Also ensure a sense of coherency throughout; don't opt for traditional separate taps for the basin in a chrome finish, then choose a glamorous mixer tap with a shower in a brushed matte finish. Finishes can range from sleek satin to brass taps, and each has their place within a unique interior, so choose wisely and match the existing décor.
At Bella Bathrooms we have a full and extensive range of taps available to keep you on trend!

Oktoberfest 2017
Munich, Germany | 14th September - 3rd October
Ein Prosit at Oktoberfest 2017!
Stay with Stoke Travel to experience the biggest party in and out of the beer halls of Oktoberfest 2017 with thousands of international partiers. Your all-inclusive stay includes pre-erected tents with mattresses and sleeping bags, a tasty breakfast each morning, hearty and wholesome dinner each evening, awesome guides who will show you how to get to and experience the Oktoberfest beer halls.
Ein Prosit means drink, you little legends. Oktoberfest 2017 in Munich Germany is unashamedly about drinking sweet amber nectar whilst dancing around in traditional lederhosen, and we think that's absolutely wonderful! No camaraderie is as strong and breaks as many barriers as that of delicious beer, destroying whatever divides there are between older drunken German folk and young travellers, allowing them to both sing proudly together in the legendary beer halls. Welcome to the rainbow of the human condition at Oktoberfest, amplified by ridiculous rides, lots of slurring and great friendship. And we really can't emphasise how much fun it is to stand on tables and glug steins of Bavarian beer while thousands of new pals watch and cheer you on. Get yourself ready for a party like no other, Oktoberfest 2017 – it's going to be golden!
What is Stoketoberfest?
Stoketoberfest is Stoke Travel's very own beer soaked jewel in our crown. Each year we make Oktoberfest our own by creating a massive festival within our campsite. Inside you'll find your pre-erected tent waiting for you, a mattress and sleeping bag so you're all snug at night. Each day and night you'll experience carnivalesque celebrations, DJs, live bands, live radio shows and an open bar with unlimited beer and sangria for an extra €10 per day. Our chef will be serving up hot and tasty breakfasts and dinners each day to keep your stomachs happy. We can't say too much. You've got to experience it, but rest assured your senses will be overwhelmed and you'll leave dizzy, dazed, confused and stoked when you get spat out of our funhouse. Unsure of how long to party for? By the time you arrive and start having lots of fun it's almost time to leave again, so we suggest 4 nights to seriously get into the swing of the Oktoberfest celebrations.
We are the biggest Oktoberfest camping providers and each year we entertain up to 2500 international guests per day, and 2017 is set to be the biggest yet. So, join in the beer train and come and make friends with the coolest folk in Europe. Party with Stoke Travel and see why people choose to Oktoberfest here year after year. We put the Be-Here in beer, the Ale-Mania in Alemania, and the Many-Germs in Germany. We look forward to meeting you.

Pilots are the only sober people here (we hope)
All budget and major airlines fly to Munich from all over Europe and the world. Check out Skyscanner or Kayak websites for details. It's very easy to get to the campsite from the airport, just follow the metro directions below.
Train it – Of course it's efficient
All trains entering Munich come in to the city's centrally-located main station (Hauptbahnhof), which is shared by the city's rail and bus systems, providing connections to all destinations within the city and around the region. High-speed InterCity Express (ICE) trains from Hamburg, Frankfurt and Augsburg provide rapid service to Munich. The City Nightline (CNL) features comfortable sleeping quarters on its overnight services. The Deutsche Bahn has more than 25,000 miles of track, connecting all points in Germany, with international service as well. If your travel originates in the UK, British Rail has four daily scheduled trains to Munich and from Zurich, there is daily service on the train called the Bavaria. It's very easy to get to the campsite from the train station, just follow the metro directions below.
For quick, cheap and easy trains check out Euroventure.
Buses are the bestest
You can travel by bus to Munich from London, Paris and many other European cities. The largest bus operator from the UK to the continent is Eurolines, operating out of London's centrally located Victoria Coach Station. In Paris, Eurolines is located on rue Malmaison, a 35-minute Metro ride from the centre. In Munich, bus services usually terminate at the Zentraler Busbahnhof, which you will find on the north side of the Hauptbahnhof. It's very easy to get to the campsite from the bus station, just follow the metro directions below.
Metro directions
Once you're at the Hauptbahnhof, or any Munich metro station, take the underground S1 to Laim metro station, then take the S2 towards Peterhausen and jump off at Untermenzing. Right outside the station hop on the 164 bus for three stops to Campingplatz Obermenzing. Just ask the driver or have a look on the bus route map. Jump off the bus and you're at our doorstep. Too easy!
Wicked Campers
The most WICKED, literally, way to get to Oktoberfest is in a Wicked Campervan. We have reserved spots for Wicked vans within the campsite. Check them out here.
Please note that if you are coming by car, there is very limited parking at the campsite, so you will need to park down the road about a 1 minute drive away.
Questions and queries? Ask away. Enter in the Ask a Question tab and we will try to come up with something helpful here.
What should we bring?
Something warm to sleep in, pillow and a torch for your tent, condoms (better safe than sorry!), your camera, an awesome party shirt.
Are there shuttles to and from Oktoberfest?
No, but our guides will direct you onto public transport so you don't get lost, just don't stray too far. We find that no matter how many steins one has consumed, miraculously most of our guests come back safe and sound. Munich's cheap and easy public transport leaves from the festival and takes you back to the campsite all day everyday. But be warned… if you don't buy a ticket, you can be fined 60€ (that is the equivalent of a whole extra day and night at Stoketoberfest!)
Who do we see when we arrive?
Check in at Stoke Reception for your tent allocation and orientation. The reception is open weekday mornings at 09:00 until midnight and weekends, 08:00 until 01:00. Out of hours, a security guard will check you into a tent and you can register with reception the next day.
What is the breakfast like?
Breakfast is whatever our inhouse chefs decide on the day… whether it be pancakes and bacon, egg and bacon rolls, bacon and bacon rolls. It usually includes bacon. And if you're a veggo you can have non-bacon stuff. Our chefs are awesome. Bloody talented is what they are.
How many people can fit in the tents?
We have two-man tents and 7 man teepees. If you are a group of three, one of you will be tented with a new friend of the same sex. Just let us know your preferences on arrival and we'll do our best to allocate you the tent you would like (subject to availability). For those anti-social humans, we offer private tents for a small additional fee. We understand our guests' needs… a little extra room for a special someone if the night leads there.
What amenities are offered at the camp site?
The campsite offers spacious bathrooms and hot showers for a 1€ token purchased at Guru tent. There's a restaurant/cafe, vending machines, the best Schnitzel food cart in the world and a little essentials store. WiFi and charging stations are available in certain areas and tokens are sold at the campsite reception for laundry facilities.
Where can we securely store our valuables?
Stoke Travel provides secure lock boxes for valuables free of charge and locks are available for purchase for the tents from Guru Tent. We also have a giant container for small valuables which gets locked every night. Plus, if you have something that you would like us to lock up that you are particularly worried about, we will happily lock it up upon check in and return it at check out.
Where can we buy Lederhosens and Dirndls?
We sell traditional festival costumes as well as awesomely stylish Stoke hoodies, tee- shirts, beanies and all sorts of other handy knick-knacks.
If we are camping does that mean we'll be attacked by wild animals?
We serve unlimited alcohol at our camps. You, my friend, will be the wild animal.
Where is Starbucks?
Near Haupthbhanof in Zentrum of Munich, there are plenty.
Do the tents have hot water, laptops, power-points, king size beds or fridges?
They're tents.
Does the bus come both ways on one side of the road?
What the F$%# ?
Reviews & ratings
The directions to the campgrounds were good as were the directions/transportation/beer bong sendoffs from the campgrounds to the festival. The camping in October is a little cold, but the tents were set up well with mattresses and sleeping bags so no complaints, the atmosphere was great, oktoberfest was a party from the moment i woke up in the morning to the moment i put in my earplugs and tried to pass out at night!
Atmosphere was 10/10. Loosest , most fun weekend of my life! Could have been warned about how much fucking fun it was!!! FOOD ROCKED. Being camping you expect pretty dodge food but it was great. Bacon made my life.
One hell of a party, Would be nice if a pillow was included in the tent, but the food was tasty
The staff were some I the best people on the while trip, super friendly and welcoming. I found you through a friend who went last year. As promised by her it was awesome, and it sure was!!!
The check-in was good, I liked how the people took you to your tent. The atmosphere was awesome!
The booking process is really practical and fast. The atmosphere was amazing, the best experience that can had in Ocktober fest! The people, everybody is so helpful, nice and fun; who was working and who was just enjoying too, everbody was really nice! The breakfast is wonderfull, really good! Big lines, but when I ate, make worths.

the atmosphere is why I'll always use stoke travel. I felt welcome,Check in was painless!
The atmosphere was so good! Everyone was so friendly! And YES the food was perfect, much better than I was expecting. Eggs and bacon are the perfect pre-drinking/hangover food.
The atmosphere you provided was awesome a real neat set up, we met some real cool people from all over the world! Way better than expected. We had a hamburger one night was definatley worth the 5€
Let me say the beer bong on arrival was fantastic and the laid-back and friendly crew even better. Only suggestion would be keep doing what you are doing!
So fun, the rain bummed people out, so the music should have been cranked to 11 and to dance. Could have closed the bars at 1 instead of 12 also (which would really mean close at 2 because you guy are too awesome)

The 'Oh My Goodness' singer joined One Direction's North American tour earlier this week, performing his first show with them in Toronto, Canada on Tuesday (29th May), and shared a special performance video with his fans online.
Olly is seen performing the song, which topped the Vodafone Big Top 40 back in 2011, alongside several band members before 'One Thing' singer Niall joins them with an acoustic guitar.
One Direction star Niall welcomed Olly to the band's US tour earlier this week, and Olly later thanked the 'What Makes You Beautiful' singers' fans for giving him such an "awesome" reception for his first show as a support act.
Olly Murs released 'Heart Skips A Beat' as his first US single earlier this week, with Chiddy Bang contributing guest vocals to the popular track.

I Am Tiger
The writer moves on, looking then at the tiger pen.
I am Tiger.
I used to hunt, running through the wild, all others fearing my roar, quailing at the sight of me: run and thump, run and thump. I was merciless, cutting down my prey, before they even noticed my presence. I hunted foes that thought that they might stand against me, but I killed them all with impuany. My hunt is done now.
I used to rule. I laughed at those who ran from me. I would catch them, savouring the moment of glory before announcing to the world my undisputed lordship: roar and stomp, roar and stomp. They would all bow before me, and fall down, quivering, for I was ruler. My reign is done now.
I used to roar. I would let the sound build in my chest, a purr, and then a fearsome growl until the full fury of my roar would be unleashed, sending the wildlife scattering: run and squeak, run and squeak. The world would humble themselves beneath me, acknowledging how I, the one, would roar. But my roar is done now.
And yet, I remain. I am tiger still.

Individuals who prove a biological link to their relatives increase their chance of a successful application for immigration. Because identity testing in cases involving immigration may include answering questions of paternity, maternity or sibling relationships, the individualized DNA testing services offered by Fairfax Identity Laboratories are ideal for individuals applying for immigration. It must be realized, however, that DNA testing is useful only when the relationship is a genuine biological one. Some cultures have a broader definition of family relationships that are just as real in that culture but which are not demonstrable through DNA testing.
The choice of which laboratory will perform the test is entirely yours, and the embassy should not recommend one lab over another. The only requirement is that the lab be accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks, and Fairfax Identity Laboratories has been accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks since 1992 for their DNA testing for immigration services. Consequently, we are highly qualified to provide your genetic testing services. We meet or exceed all of the requirements of the State Department to provide the testing you need to assist your beneficiary in obtaining entry into the United States. Fairfax Identity Laboratories customizes the collection of biological specimens based on the relationship in question and the specific requirements of the immigration office. Our laboratory offers strict chain-of-custody procedures in accordance with 9 FAM 42.44 in coordinating and collecting biological samples from individuals in the United States and abroad. Fairfax Identity Laboratories uses a test panel of highly probative tests to report a probability of relationship of 99.9% or greater. Reports can be sent directly to the embassy in the beneficiary's country, with copies provided to other official agencies and to the petitioner as required.
We are able to assist in all aspects of specimen collection and shipping. Immigration regulations stipulate that your samples must be collected by trained staff members of the testing laboratory. Fairfax Identity Laboratories has an international network of collectors who are trained to collect samples and transport them to our laboratory under strict chain of custody controls. Highly qualified analysts conduct the tests according to well-validated procedures and protocols. For standard cases, results are provided in approximately 7-10 business days from the time that the samples are received by our laboratory. Expedited service is available upon request.
While the actual laboratory work is done within the time frame indicated in most instances, scheduling the sample collection from the beneficiary can sometimes take a long time. It is also possible, though rare, that the standard level of testing used by the lab will be insufficient to reach the level of certainty required by the State Department. In that case, additional testing methods are available and will be used automatically by Fairfax Identity Laboratories at no additional charge. However, if there is a deadline for providing the results of your DNA test for immigration, we advise that you begin the process as early as possible so that the deadline is not missed. Waiting until the last minute to begin the process is strongly discouraged.

Fairfax Identity Laboratories assists immigrants from a number of countries. To find a U.S. Embassy local to you or the DNA collection process and procedures, follow the links below.

The Vandalia City Council on Monday made official its commitment to replacing the bridge on a much-used road just north of the city.
When asked about the progress on an ordinance limiting the number of gaming facilities in Vandalia, he was told that such an ordinance is not needed.
Ward I Jerry Swarm asked about the progress about such an ordinance at Monday's city council meeting, and Mayor Rick Gottman and Ryan Connor of the city's legal counsel told him that one is not being drafted.
The Ramsey man who served as the Fayette County treasurer for close to three decades died on Saturday.
A Chicago man who escaped from Vandalia Correctional Center in 2014 was short-lived was found not guilty by reason of insanity in a stipulated bench trial on Monday afternoon.
A Fayette County jury took little time in returning three guilty verdicts for a Vandalia man charged with possession of child pornography.
Though it will likely be some time before they can proceed with either project, Vandalia officials will start doing some preliminary work on its Kaskaskia River intake and water plant.
At last week's city council meeting, Rodney Potts of John Crawford & Associates presented aldermen with both engineering and construction estimates for both the river intake and water plant.
