ZTB looks to China
Zambia Tourism Board- ZTB says Zambia must target to attract some of the 150 million Chinese tourists who are projected to visit various destinations across the world by 2020.
ZTB Managing Director Felix Chaila says China became the world's largest out bound tourist Country in 2012 after beating Germany.
Speaking last night at a dinner hosted for CCTV Journalists who were in Zambia to shoot a documentary for the winner of the China Southern Airlines Air Hostes contest winner, Crystal Wang, Mr Chaila says 86 million Chinese tourists travelled around the world last year alone.
And MS Wang says CCTV will produce high quality documentaries that will be viewed by over 300 million people.

Generally this would cause refile buffer attempts on devices which weren't even LVM devices on my system (ie. my root fs). Hence, that seems wrong to me.

WILLIAMSON – Williamson Fire Chief, Joey Carey approached the Mingo County Commission at Wednesday's meeting to discuss the possibility of leasing the county ambulance for use within the city of Williamson.
At the meeting, Carey presented the commission with a copy of the proposed lease agreement prepared by Williamson City Attorney, Joshua Ferrell.
Carey approached the commission stating, "I was here about five months ago to discuss possibly leasing the old county ambulance from the commission. We want to add to the emergency services in the city. It has taken us some time to secure enough money to get started. We do have the money now. I had our city attorney draw up the lease that you all requested. I would like to present that to you for your review."
Commissioner John Mark Hubbard responded, asking if the commission had previously discussed the monthly amount to lease the ambulance with Carey at the previous meeting.
Carey responded stating, "We expressed interest… The money were are able to provide is in the lease. I also ask that our city attorney put the lease on an annual basis. That way if it doesn't work, we can get out of the lease."
Commissioner Diann Hannah asked, "You are just going to do like the rescue squad used to; the Williamson area only?"
Hannah continued, expressing concern over opening the service to the county. "We have an agreement with these ambulance services…If you want to cover the fire rescue like they used to in Williamson, I think that is a great idea."
Carey responded, "That is what we are asking. What we are asking for is to be able to provide transportation service in addition to what we do now in the city of Williamson."
The discussion between Carey and the commission continued.
"I don't want to be involved in an ambulance war," Carey explained. "All I want to do is be there if we are needed."
Hannah agreed stating, "We need to get a clear understanding with the other ambulance services in the county that you would not be taking their coverage area. That this is for the city."
Commissioner John Mark Hubbard clarified stating, "If STAT ambulance service could not respond, then 911 would have the option to call you as a secondary responder."
Carey agreed stating, "That is all I am asking. That service is not there and I see it every day that people are suffering because of it. If we are able to do this on a city level and take the burden off the counties' hands. That is all I am trying to do"
Following the discussion, Commissioner Hubbard requested that the commission be given time to review the lease before making a decision. The item will be added to the agenda for the next meeting which will be held on August 16.

my sister passed away 6 years ago, and prior to her death we were a really big part of there life and a really big part of her childrens lives. we were involved daily. over the past 6 years our visitation with the oldest of her 2 children has became less and less and more strick. the youngest of her 2 kids her husband has done everything he can not to let the youngest get to know us, but the youngest dose know us an love us and wants to be able to spend time with us but isnt allowed only at birthdays.
like i said prior to her death we were a really big part if their daily lives and even after her death we have stayed as involved as we can. but now it is getting to the point where the father isnt wanting to let us even spend time with the older child and i am ready to take action legally
Yes, you should contact an attorney who handles family law matters in your jurisdiction (like me).
Rights are established under KRS 405.021, which states:
KRS 405.021: Reasonable visitation rights to grandparents.
(1) The Circuit Court may grant reasonable visitation rights to either the paternal or
maternal grandparents of a child and issue any necessary orders to enforce the
decree if it determines that it is in the best interest of the child to do so. Once a
grandparent has been granted visitation rights under this subsection, those rights
shall not be adversely affected by the termination of parental rights belonging to the
grandparent's son or daughter, who is the father or mother of the child visited by the
grandparent, unless the Circuit Court determines that it is in the best interest of the
child to do so.
(2) The action shall be brought in Circuit Court in the county in which the child resides.
(3) The Circuit Court may grant noncustodial parental visitation rights to the
grandparent of a child if the parent of the child who is the son or daughter of the
grandparent is deceased and the grandparent has assumed the financial obligation of
child support owed by the deceased parent, unless the court determines that the
visitation is not in the best interest of the child. If visitation is not granted, the
grandparent shall not be responsible for child support.

Ever since I wrote a negative article on Club Mahindra here, I'm discouraging people from enrolling for Club Mahindra's Life membership and driving away CM's business -Many people searching about Club Mahindra land at my blog post as it is appearing almost right below Club Mahindra official website for search queries-Details here(I don't regret that because whatever I wrote is genuine and supported by necessary evidence/reasoning) however I feel obliged to write some tips how Club Mahindra can regain lost confidence of its members. (This is fully complementary to Club Mahindra from my side).
To justify the huge amount they are charging, and to fulfill whatever they are promising before taking the money, I suggest Club Mahindra to implement the following, at the earliest:
1. Commit a minimum service guarantee to your members and define a SLA (Service Level Agreement). (Currently, members must keep paying ASF (Annual Subscription Fee) etc irrespective of usage, while Club Mahindra has no commitment on guaranteed booking). That is, if a member expresses interest to take a holiday within reasonable time (say 30-45 days in advance) Club Mahindra should ensure that the member gets a confirmed booking. If you can't comply with the SLA you must compensate the member adequately, which should include refunding ASF and extending membership by one year besides other compensations. This is very much essential, because as a member if I'm paying several lakhs of rupees, I would like to have an assurance that I'll be getting whatever the salesman promised me. I've no interest in hearing "Sorry, NO vacancy at our resorts" and excuses CM may give, however sweet and reasonable, doesn't serve my purpose and do not compensate my loss.
2. Make it inflation free: Either remove your slogan of promising Inflation Free holidays or commit to not increasing ASF every year.
3. Have a Customer Support Cell: (and attend members' concerns too) Focus on keeping existing members happy so that the members themselves will refer more and more people and bring business. Avoid hunting for new people to fool every time.
4. Give a withdrawal option: Give members an option to pull out of membership scheme if they wish and offer proportionate refund. This puts an obligation on you to give better service and retain them. Naturally quality of service will improve. Also when you give a cancellation option more and more people will come and join (since they have an option of canceling membership and won't be loosing much)
5. Do not enroll members when your resorts do not have the capacity to accommodate them. Resorts are not dormitories. When members enroll, they expect maximum return on their investment and satisfaction.
6. Reduce ASF: I feel the current ASF is not justified (it is almost at par with hotel rent, given that huge sum is already collected as membership fee). Bring it down or provide complementary food, transport etc.
7. Tell your sales reps NOT to make unrealistic promises. They should explain in plain english all pros and cons-What members are guaranteed to get, what all are purely luck based, what CM doesn't offer and what are the hidden factors and risks involved. They need to declare what all are covered by initial membership fee, what expenses are to be paid later (like ASF), what all are not at all covered etc.
All these are suggested hoping that you wish to grow your business by delighting your members and give them value for their money. It's obvious that since you are in business you need to make money. But profit should be realized after delivering whatever was promised to the customers and not by fooling/cheating/misleading unsuspecting public.
Disclaimer: No offense is meant. The post only lists simple practical implementations which if implemented will increase customer satisfaction and automatically promotes business. This is just a suggestion and implementation at Club Mahindra's discretion.

Brand building tips for Club Mahindra

I think those are great tips. I wish somebody from Club Mahindra would read this and take note.
In fact, most service industry people need to wake up fast to the fact that their whole business depends on keeping satisfied customers more than creating new customers.
Well written.

Hari. I'm confident CM will take note, though not sure if they will implement...
Service industry, if tries to sell service as a product, will suffer setback. Service is an ongoing concept and not a one time deal, so customer relationship is the key.

Hi Srinidhi,
I hope you are NOT withdrawing your earlier blog on Club Manhindra, which was an eye opener for innocent people, and helped people to know problems faced by members of CM.
Please keep the blog accessible to public.

I do not have any plans of taking them down in near future What makes you think so? as they host both my views and Club Mahindra's official response, readers should be getting both side of the story to take an informed decision.

Dear Shrinidhi,
Contents of your blog are indeed valid and would be of great help for those who are planing to buy timeshare holidays.
With regards to your suggestions to CM, surely CM would have taken note, but whether they have tried to, or have implemented or not, I will come to know only when I go there in mid July 2009. Yes I am going there to make it a life time memorable family holiday. Surely it will be a life time memorable however, whether it was a good experience or not I will write on your blog after returning from there.
But based on my own experience since Feb 2008, there is no doubt in my mind that, it was a very wrong decision to buy this membership. Club Mahindra representative never told me that, members have to keep on paying separate fees apart from the huge money for membership as ASF every year. Also, it was my biggest mistake because, I did not ask CM's representative to provide the terms & conditions of membership. I just blindly trusted this person as he was referred by a friend of mine.
I receive an Invoice for ASF and was surprised then I tried to cancel and get my moneys back but after reading terms & conditions, realised that what the terms are. Surely, I had never expected such kind of one sided terms from a brand called Mahindra. Earlier I had great amount of respect for Mahindra & Mahindra (brand). But now I have no doubts in my mind that, this company's policies are not only unfair but ethic less too. I am sorry by can't stop myself expressing my feeling that, they believe in looting public in this way.

Please come back and share your holiday experience.
Its a very common complaint that sales staff do not give full picture-CM says very few percentage of the sales force might be like that, but realities may differ.
Irrespective of situation and weather we like CM or not, their IPO was a great success, reinstating that investors believe in Mahindra brand and their holiday business. let us hope the money collected through IPO helps members enjoy their membership to the fullest.

I think they should open recreation clubs in mumbai and other cities so that local ones who cannot go for a vacation can enjoy there and value also increases

Dear Shrinidhi,
Sorry for being (too) late. I enjoyed my holidays in Coorg CM Resort. It was really a nice place but Club Mahindra is surely looting its customers. I have no doubts in saying this.
They say it is 5 star Resort but it is rubbish. I think these people are just looting the public who have never enjoyed / been to 5 star hotels/resorts facilities.
I have given my feedback to them and I don't think they would implement them.
What I have done during my 10 days trip is, I have totally enjoyed the beauty of that place by ignoring / forgetting the greedy attitude of these Club Mahindra's Management.
Concerning Nithin Mehtha's message, I don't think they would do that. Because if they open in Mumbai, members will surely utilise their holidays which they don't want.
What they want is....... their Clients should keep on paying their ASF fees and not to use the facilities. If you are a member, please try to get booking at your preferred location. I can guarantee you, you will never get it unless you are shrewd enough.
If call them as a non-member, you will get confirmation in not time. You can just try.
I have tried.

Dear Nithin,
Based on my experience, I have no hesitation in saying Club Mahindra a criminals company. It is not just Sales team and booking team but its chairman too. Yes it seems that all wrong things are happening with his knowledge and he is supporting his cheating (420) team to loot innocent public.
I have been sharing my bad experience on Facebook and Twitter from last few weeks. Since then Club Mahindra is calling me again & again and trying to lure me with same false promises. But since I know them very well they have not succeeded.
Since Mid of May, a rep from Dubai office called and informed that, since I am not using their services Club Mahindra wants to refund my moneys. I said good do it why you are waiting?
After a week later, he called and said Club Mahindra will refund about 60% money after deducting 40% towards admin costs!!! In response, I told him, your company was known for cheating but now behaving like begger. Most of members know that how you people lur but I don't think you people have gone down to this level? He started saying some story... Finally I know you people do not believe in ethics and principles but still I am I am still giving you a chance to prove that you are doing ethical business by refunding full amount.
I did tell him that, being member from 4-5 years you people have denied bookings but have given red carpet welcome as revenue member. So I know you will not refund and the only way to recover is through legal means. He then replied saying he will send me the offer officially for 60% refund. However, to date I haven't received any email from him.
Note that sometimes back I did tried to draw Mr. Anand Mahindra's attention via twitter on Club Mahindra's misadventurous criminal / cheating activities. But he has preferred to remain silent! Recently he tweeted on someone's crime but when I retweeted him asking about his own Club Mahindra, instead of replying he ran prefered to run away and finally he protected his tweet!
I hope potential member will think 1000 times before becoming this 420s criminals company called Club Mahindra's members.

The woman best known for her unmade bed joins Turner Prize winners Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor and Jeremy Deller, 2004 nominee Yinka Shonibare and Bob & Roberta Smith, the professional name of Patrick Brill.
Previous works such as the Christ-like figure by Mark Wallinger, the plinth on a plinth by Rachel Whiteread and the current Model For A Hotel 2007 by Thomas Sch¸tte have made the commission the most high-profile public art project in Britain.
Sandy Nairne, the National Portrait Gallery director who chairs the fourth plinth commissioning group, said: "The commission has established an international reputation but it's complex and demanding and I'm just really pleased that it has brought about this amount of interest. It needs artists with some track record."
The group considered candidates and approached them informally to establish whether they were interested. The six will each produce a maquette or scale model of their idea, all of which will go on show in January. The selected artist will be announced later next year and will be installed in 2009.
Mayor Ken Livingstone said: "The fourth plinth commissions have become an integral part of the vision for Trafalgar Square as a vibrant accessible public space."
The scheme was initiated by 1998 by the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce and responsibility was subsequently transferred to the Mayor and the Greater London Authority.

text: WALTHAM, Mass., Nov. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A majority of parents questioned believe math is an important factor in defining their children's future success, according to a survey released today by Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN). Raytheon's " Parent Survey about Math Learning and Future Success" reported that 53 percent of parents said being good at math eclipsed being outgoing (42 percent) and being good at sports (5 percent) as traits the parents believe would help their children succeed in life. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121101/NE03635-INFO ) As statistics show American students lagging behind their international peers in math performance, Raytheon commissioned a survey of 1,000 parents of children between the ages of 6 and 15 aimed at further understanding their perspective on their children's math-related study habits, attitudes and priorities. " The United States faces a national STEM crisis that affects our country's economic prosperity and national security. We believe capturing the interest of students in their formative years is key to engaging them in a lifetime of STEM learning and career pursuits — and parental involvement is vital to shaping their children's attitudes," said William H. Swanson, Chairman and CEO of Raytheon Company. "For the past seven years Raytheon has directed significant resources toward inspiring students to make the connection between math and the wonders of the world around them." Raytheon commissioned the "Parent Survey about Math Learning and Future Success" as part of its longstanding science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education initiative. Raytheon supports students, educators and parents throughout the academic life cycle. With a solutions-oriented approach to improving STEM education, the company has developed a wide array of programs, including interactive and hands-on learning environments to engage students; a statistical modeling tool to support school administrators as they plan education investments; scholarships and training for both students and teachers; mentoring by employees to supplement classroom learning; and strategic partnerships with organizations seeking to generate awareness of the STEM challenge.

NCL Cruise a 7 on a 10 scale
Sail Date: December 07, 2014
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Traveled As: Singles/Friends
Room Type: Balcony
The cruise was up to standard for NCL, we had done the Alaska cruise in 2009 on the same ship so knew what to expect.The food was standard fare in the freestyle restaurants and better in the specialty restaurants as it should be. Ginza was a disappointment, the menu advertised noodle dishes but none were to be had and only one Hibachi table limited daily seatings. We were told by the Ginza staff to come there on Saturday for noodle dishes at noon, we went there as suggested and the Ginza was not even open. El Bistro was the best, the food very good and wait staff friendly and attentive.We enjoyed the casino especially the solo three card poker table that was always crowded at night, another table for that game is really needed to accommodate those who wish to play. There are too many empty blackjack tables with no one at them wit dealers standing around bored, doesn't make sense.Overall the staff friendly, helpful and courteous, the shows in the theater a bit amateurish but that was expected. The piano man at the bar played much too loudly for that confined space, he needs to tone the volume of his playing and include more selections Sinatra like quieter songs, no Ethel Merman performances needed!!
The only real negative was the cabin attendant's lack of appreciation. He did a good job keeping the room clean and maintained so we left an additional tip as NCL suggests. We saw him twice after we left the money for him and we never got a simple thank you, we will not do that again. The mandatory NCL policy of $12 a day pp is wrong and insulting, tipping like that should always be be at the customer's discretion, everyone knows it is just a way for NCL to get its' guests to pay the salaries of the cabin staff. The sad part is that the attentive and polite wait staff in the restaurants in the freestyle restaurants do not share in that pool of money, and they deserve to.

[quote:shenue:MV8xOTkxNzI2XzMzNDYyOTA1XzRFNkMxMUVE] I know that part of this was already posted, but I'm posting it also within this post so it is shown as part of the sequence of events so far today. [color=red]Update 17/09 – 20:01 UTC[/color] - 95 earthquakes, all the recent ones at 20 km or deeper [color=red]Update 17/09 – 17:05 UTC[/color] - 84 earthquakes until 16:11 UTC - Another 2 shallow quakes at 10 and 11 km , both in the El Golfo, Sabinosa area. The phenomena described in the last update is being confirmed with these quakes. The Sabinosa – El Golfo area has become active again. We are however unsure whether IGN has deliberately omitted the quakes in this area when the strong swarm started. If this was not the case (what we should find very normal) then we can speak of a changing pattern. The following hours will give a better idea of the situation [color=red]Update 17/09 – 15:36 UTC[/color] - [i][b]Is the crust starting to show cracks ?[/b][/i] Why are we writing this ? If IGN data are correct, we have noticed a number of shallower earthquakes the last couple of hours. Nothing to be scared off, but this is definitely a change in patterns versus earlier today and the 2 preceding days. From 12:27 until 14:39 (less than 3 hours) we have noticed 6 under 20 km earthquakes on a total of 17. The shallowest being a 13 km, but also a 15 km and a couple of 18 km. Is the magma the cause ? IGN would probably know it but mostly keeps his information for international science conferences a couple of months later! The shallowest one was recorded below the Sabinosa area, the area where the other 10 km were recorded last week. - 71 earthquakes so far [color=red]Update 17/09 – 12:45 UTC[/color] - 52 earthquakes so far (listed by IGN until 11:06 UTC). No change in depth patterns or epicenter area. I looks more and more that the island consists of solid rock where magma has a hard time to penetrate [color=red]Update 17/09 – 08:38 UTC[/color] - "Only" 30 earthquakes listed by IGN this morning - Hypocenters : no change in depth (hypocenter or focal depth or depth are indicating the same = layer in the underground (crust or deeper) where the energy is generated - Epicenters : same area than yesterday centering in the historic crater area - GPS deformations : Restinga : 1 cm further uplifting (Ultra Rapid) – stabilized on the longitude and latitude axis (= earlier movement to the South-East) Pinar : 1 cm uplift – pushed 1 cm further to the North – stabilized on the longitude axis (= earlier movement to the East) Frontera : no more uplifting, 0,5 cm to the North – no change on the longitude axis since long time The plotters under our readers can try to trace this way the source of the magma.

Original Message
I am the former user "Idgits". About 100 consistent followers and contributors and I created the most informative thread on El Hierro and the Canary Islands archipelago that GLP has ever seen.
Thread: Best El Hierro Thread On GLP - Canary Islands - ACTIVITY HAS RETURNED - AGAIN!
I have since deleted the account that I was using to start that thread, thus the reason it says "AC" now as the original poster.
During the course of that thread I removed all of the "Hi's" and "How are you's" and "bump's" until about page 500...which condensed the thread down to around 280 pages. It has since continued to grow and has become a true source of facts surrounding the earthquake swarm and eventual eruption that took place last year, ending early this year.
Since that eruption officially ended, Hierro has shot back into action several times. I believe we are on the 4th major swarm of activity that has occurred since the eruptive phase ended. It has been recommended by one of our most consistent and well informed users "Shenue" as well as others, to start a new thread to showcase the newest events occuring in Hierro. The previous eruption was incredible, teaching science a whole new concept and understanding of underwater eruptions. It also produced the most radioactive lava ever recorded.
The most incredible feat of Hierro though, is how much pressure it is capable of maintaining WITHOUT erupting. In the last swarm we saw such an incredible increase in pressure that any other geologic formation would've theoretically blown sky high. But not Hierro...it's always maintained it's strength. The current combined energy under Hierro from both magma flow and seismic energy released is basically unknown as IGN stopped recording all the joules together...they stopped the eruptive phase recording in May of this year...here is that chart [
link to www.01.ign.es
So...this new thread is to pick up where Hierro has brought us now. I need to be able to change the thread title as events occur and be able to alert people with that title in case something serious occurs. In addition, there is SO MUCH information in that past thread that it's difficult for new users and followers to sift through to the most recent activities. Below I have comprised a list of information and links relative to the old thread. It's information that took us a year plus to gather!

Canada bankers, policymakers warn on rule changes
By Andrea Hopkins
TORONTO (Reuters) - With global regulators poised to rewrite banking rules, Canada's bankers and policy-makers are warning against proposed changes to capital and leverage requirements, arguing their country's success proves what works best.
In a rare display of solidarity, the heads of Canada's big six banks wrote an opinion piece for the Financial Times newspaper, arguing global decision-makers should take a page from Canada's rule book rather than get bogged down in details that didn't cause the financial crisis in the first place.
"At the risk of sounding parochial, (regulators should) adopt a capital regime similar to the Canadian system," the chief executives of Toronto-Dominion Bank, Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of Montreal, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, and National Bank of Canada said in the article.
While global regulators have said they want to have final changes to banking rules approved by the end of 2010 and implemented by 2012, Canadian banks are frustrated that the talks -- now sidetracked by an IMF call for a global bank tax -- seem to be going nowhere fast.
"If we have a big concern, it's that we see this drifting on and on and nothing happening. So in fact you won't reform the financial system because you won't tackle what the core issues are," TD Chief Executive Ed Clark said in an interview.
Canadian banks have emerged from the financial crisis in good shape relative to global peers, having accepted no bailouts and remaining mostly profitable throughout.
Canadian banks also boast Tier 1 capital levels far in excess of both regulatory minimums and what most global rivals have set aside. But executives have said regulatory uncertainty is preventing them from making acquisitions or raising dividends at a time when they would like to take advantage of the weakness of rivals.
Also on Thursday, Canada's top regulator, Superintendent of Financial Institutions Julie Dickson, said Canada's success during the financial crisis should give it a bigger voice at the discussion table. Continued...

|Re: How can I force a Maven task to depend on other Maven tasks?
|Thu, 31 Oct 2013 15:34:49 GMT
No such thing as a Maven task. Maven projects produce artifacts which other projects can declare as dependencies. You can have Maven projects that include sub-projects (multi-module project). Can you rephrase your question or describe what you are trying to do. Bear in mind that Maven is used by tens of thousands of software development projects so that if you can describe what you want to do, someone will have already done it and can show you how.

CHICAGO — Whether spring means a thorough house cleaning, preparing a home garden or simply enjoying the season, librarians are planning programs that suit library users' preferred springtime activities.
Below are just a few examples of what libraries across the country are planning to do to celebrate the arrival of spring.
Friends of the Potomac (Md.) Library showcase all the events going on throughout the season with Spring Happening @ your library. Upcoming events include spring story hours, Chinese language book discussions and monthly used book sales.

CHICAGO — As school libraries celebrate National Library Week (April 14 - 20) and School Library Month, American Library Association (ALA) President Maureen Sullivan expresses her concern about current and future challenges in an opinion piece published in the Huffington Post.
CHICAGO – The tightening of belts across the U.S. has almost everyone looking for ways to cut costs. With entertainment being one of the first targets, your local library is driving to the rescue – literally – as bookmobiles are racing into communities bringing education, entertainment and enlightenment wherever they go. Those communities will take time on Wednesday, April 17, 2013 to celebrate these heroes on wheels during National Bookmobile Day @ your library.
CHICAGO - Librarians are helping to spread the joy and love of reading by taking part in World Book Night on April 23.
Held in the United States, as well as the U.K. and Ireland, the initiative aims at promoting the value of reading, printed books, bookstores and libraries to everyone year round.
CHICAGO — Libraries and library staff continue to respond to the needs of their communities, providing key resources as budgets are reduced, speaking out forcefully against book-banning attempts and advocating for free access to digital content in libraries, with a keen focus placed on ebook formats.
CHICAGO — Communities nationwide are celebrating the contributions of libraries – including school, academic, public and special libraries - and library workers during National Library Week, April 14 – 20, 2013, sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA). This year's theme is "Communities matter @ your library."
Libraries provide key resources as budgets are reduced, speaking out forcefully against book-banning attempts and advocating for free access to digital content in libraries.

Women make tough decisions after test for breast cancer gene
Women are facing tough decisions when they learn they have a gene which puts them at a higher risk of getting cancer.
Actress Angelina Jolie announced Tuesday she had a double mastectomy when she learned she carried a gene that gave her an 87 percent risk of getting breast cancer. Because of Jolie's celebrity status, the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are in the spotlight.
"Empower yourself with knowledge. Be informed and make good decisions for you," advised Lisa Miller, whose decisions for her health meant getting tested for the breast and ovarian cancer gene because of her family history.
The gene testing dates back to the 1990s and getting the results often leads to more questions.
"When I found out that I was BRCA positive, I had to make a tough decision," explained Miller.
Miller tested positive for the same gene that Jolie had, indicating she had a strong chance of developing breast and ovarian cancer.
"What Angelina Jolie did today, many women have been able to make the same decision," said Miller.
Miller saw close relatives battle ovarian and breast cancer. When she learned she carried the breast cancer gene, she opted against a preventative double mastectomy.
"Being 48 at the time, it wasn't right for me and my husband at the time," Miller said.
She did have her ovaries removed, which lowered her risk, but still, two years later, Miller was diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent chemotherapy and had a double mastectomy, removing the breast with cancer and the other without.
Her daughters also got tested and learned they are BRCA1 carriers, too.
"One is 25 and one is 28. Surveillance has begun with mammography, alternating every six months with breast MRI," Miller said. "They're not going to be doing anything at this point in time surgically, they both would like to have families, so we are going to hold off on that."
IU School of Medicine breast surgeon Gary Dunnington says more young women are opting for preventative double mastectomy.
"I have never seen a woman who has regretted making that decision. I think for those of us not in the situation, it's very difficult for us to imagine the agony, the angst, with every screening event when you know you're a carrier of this breast cancer gene, which for BRAC1, probably has a risk of 65 percent of developing a breast cancer at some point in your lifetime. So with every mammogram, it's the concern 'this could be the event'," Dunnington said.
Miller says her prognosis is promising and has no regrets.
"I'm still very happy with my decision," she said.
As a multi-million dollar movie star, though, Jolie's choice for genetic testing and a double mastectomy probably didn't factor in cost the way it would for the average woman.
"It's expensive by most peoples idea of...there's a lot of other things you'd want to buy," said Stephanie Cohen with St. Vincent Hospital.
Cohen does genetic counseling for St. Vincent and helps women decide every day, if the testing and procedures to follow are worth it.
"The good news is insurance is usually covering them when it's appropriate and they're usually covering prophylactic surgeries and follow up care that's required based on their findings of the genetic test," explained Cohen.
The test to see if a woman is a carrier of the gene is expensive, costing around $2,500-3,000. According to Cohen, for the test to be covered, certain guidelines have to be met, like a family history of ovarian cancer, male breast cancer, or breast cancer before the age of 50. Even then, it all comes down to what your insurance will cover and what you can afford to pay out-of-pocket.

"It really varies widely," said Cohen.
If you test positive, options include close surveillance, taking drugs which reduce your risk, or opting for preventative surgery.
"Personal decision. Good, bad or indifferent, it's your decision," said Miller.

Gold-plated pensions, golden parachutes and gilt-edged job security. The verbal bling that ordinarily glistens from the business pages is suddenly being tied around the neck of public sector workers. There is chatter, none too subtly encouraged by the coalition, about freakish redundancy packages of £1m or more, and local authority executives with super-size retirement funds. As another cuts package was announced yesterday, the legions who push hospital trolleys, empty bins and sweep the streets – often for little more than the minimum wage – were oddly absent from the discussion.
Any cash-strapped government would, of course, have to look at the terms and conditions attached to a payroll which represents its single biggest cost. The outgoing administration had already struck a deal to trim the biggest redundancy payments, and although it was ultimately scuppered by the PCS union's refusal to budge, other unions yesterday signalled a readiness to reopen that discussion. Amid all the sudden talk of lay-offs, their members might press them to be more guarded this time around – for to give up generous redundancy terms in the current climate might feel akin to cancelling an insurance policy after catching burglars watching your house. All the more so since the typical public pay-off is not the sort of six or seven-figure package being bandied about, but something well shy of £20,000. If serious money is to be saved on redundancy, it will not be from the tiny band of publicly financed plutocrats, but from the public sector's rank-and-file. For them, the argument can hardly be that their terms are too cushy in themselves. Instead, it will be that their counterparts in the private sector get an even rougher ride, many being expected to settle for severance packages that reward each year of service with a mere week of pay.
In the context of pensions, too, the coalition's game will also be to play the resentments of the private-sector majority of the workforce against the state-employed minority, and that strategy might very well prevail. Workers whose firms long ago slammed the door on their own final-salary schemes will surely resent coughing up higher VAT if they understand that it is being paid to protect the cosy retirements of the lucky few. If the unions fall into their characteristic kneejerk oppositionism, then this is the way the argument will go, and a great wave of strikes will soon crash down on the rocks of majority public opinion.
Things could, however, play out quite differently, if only union leaders would show the steely pragmatism that so often eludes them, and borrow a line from the Conservative manifesto – we're all in this together. The government says it wants to bring its workforce's pensions into line with those offered by private firms. But the relation between private and public is not a one-way street, which is why the most vocal rage against public pensions has so often come from business leaders. The issue does not affect them directly, in the way that tax or regulation might; it matters to them because it determines how bold they feel they can be in retrenching their own company schemes.
Just as living wage campaigners enlist public authorities in the hope of influencing private employers, smart unions would avoid sectional rhetoric, and argue instead that decent public pensions set a benchmark which can advantage workers across the whole economy. In straitened times, this argument cannot be pushed too far. Deep demographic tides require that workers will eventually have to meet some of the costs of living longer, and it is futile to swim against these. But there is no reason why individuals' planning for retirement should be subject to the vagaries of the stock market, as it now is for so many people. If the state's workforce can convince the country that it is after copper- and not gold-plated pensions, then it might just start to win hearts and minds.

Jack Wolfskin Revelstoke Texapore II Pant Men's
Revelstoke's famous for deep pow, massive vert, and occasionally soggy conditions on the lower half. Even if your blower Revy day starts turning sloppy, though, your lower half will be as happy as a clam in the Revelstoke Texapore II Men's Pant from Jack Wolfskin, a waterproof, breathable, and fully kitted shred trouser made for skiers who like a little insulation. The warmth comes courtesy of 60g Microguard Stretch insulation, which is light, warm, compressible, and lofty all at once, and the water resistance is delivered by Texapore O2, Wolfskin's proprietary two layer waterproof and breathable membrane. It's a hardshell but has a breathability rating comparable to most softshells, so you don't have to choose between letting snow or sweat soak into your long johns. Ripping pow turns, putting in bootpacks, and dodging trees is tough if you can't move, so Wolfskin was careful to line the Revelstoke with SoftTouch Taffeta Stretch, an elastic polyester that gives you near unlimited mobility and helps wick moisture away from your skin to prevent the pants from sticking to your legs. It's also hard to ski with pants around your ankles apologies to park rats everywhere, but the Revelstoke's removable suspenders and adjustable waist help keep them locked in prime position. The Vent Support System improves cooling and helps evacuate moisture, ankle gaiters seal out snow, and the Cordura kick patches prevent your edges from slicing your pants on the season's first day.

ProtectMyID.com product features help it stand out from the crowd
Mar 17
With the plethora of identity theft monitoring products out there and the FTC barring identity theft protection companies from making deceptive claims, what makes ProtectMyID.com® stand out from the rest?
Features specific to PMID:
1. PMID actively scans the Internet on a daily basis to search for fraudulent use of members' SSN, credit and debit cards. Internet scans look for activity on the Web that is not behind a secure site (public records, Web pages, blogs, chat rooms, botnets, etc.)
2. ProtectMyID.com members are automatically registered at no additional cost in Lost Wallet, a feature to protect credit, charge, debit, and ATM cards. With Lost Wallet, you can call ProtectMyID.com if your cards are lost or stolen and an assigned Fraud Resolution agent will help you cancel them..
With ProtectMyID.com's ChildSecure™ feature, for an additional fee, members can help protect their minor children from identity theft by closely monitoring their enrolled children's SSN, credit and personal information.
3. ProtectMyID.com offers protection specifically designed to aid consumers who are victims of medical identity theft.
• Ongoing and daily monitoring for identity theft using insurance policy numbers on the Internet. This will flag suspicious Internet activity involving personal medical information and keep customers informed along the way.
• Dedicated resolution agents are trained to notify and work with health care providers on behalf of members to resolve any theft-related issue. This removes the mystery and uncertainty from dealing with providers and delegates the responsibility to a trained agent.
• Credit Alerts inform members when medically related collection actions occur.
The superior difference:
1. ProtectMyID.com is part of Experian®, one of the most trusted brands in identity protection.
2. ProtectMyID.com has an alliance with the San Diego–based Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC), a nonprofit, nationally respected organization dedicated to supporting victims of identity theft and broadening public education of this crime. Through the alliance, the ITRC provides ProtectMyID.com with expertise, staff development seminars and collaboration on various identity theft/protection consumer education initiatives.

Part 3
The door gave unwillingly, scratching the floor as Felix pushed. When there was enough room for him to squeeze through, he stopped and caught his breath. The door had apparently been closed for quite some time. Felix found himself wondering why it hadn't been locked. He stepped cautiously through the opening and peeked into the building.
It was quite dark. Felix could not make out any detail beyond ten feet from where he stood. He looked up to see a brick archway that stood above the entrance hall. White lettering curved across the top of the arch. It read J.D.S. and Co. He recognized the initials from the spire he'd examined above ground. Who in the world was J.D.S.?
Felix wormed his way completely through the opening until he stood fully inside the entrance hall. He tested the door to see that it wouldn't shut behind him, then protruded slowly towards the archway. He put a cautious hand on the wall, feeling for a light switch. Instead his hand came to cold, hard metal. He turned, but could not see exactly what his hand had touched. He examined it with his other hand. It seemed like some sort of iron plate stuck in the middle of the wall.
He found a handle on the metal plate and pulled it open. His hand felt another metal handle, only it was connected to some sort of lever. A switch!
Felix pushed with all his might until the handle was all the way up; it made an intimidating 'clack'. Deep from within the building came a similar comotion. He heard sputtering, clacking and eventually the hum of power. Before him, an entire world revealed itself as lights sprung to life and machinery clanked into gear.
The light was warm and welcoming, unlike the florescent lights he dealt with at school. The entrance hall curved out into a catwalk which lined the perimeter of the building. Below the catwalk was the main level, where an array of machinery was spread out between conveyor belts and metal tables. Two pairs of stairs on either side of the building spilled down from the catwalk into the main level.
The back wall of the building was no more than two-hundred away from where Felix stood. In the center was an enormous portrait of a man. The man was tall and had calm, blue eyes. His complexion was relaxed yet sincere, and his left hand rested on piano keys, as if he were about to play something pleasant. Felix walked slowly around the catwalk, examining the machinery below. He noticed stacks upon stacks of piano keys that sat upon the metal tables. Some of them had an apparatus of wooden hammers attached, but most were just lonely sets of keys.
Felix now reached the back wall of the factory, where he could get a closer look at the giant portrait. It was even larger than he'd anticipated. If he were to take it down (which he probably couldn't), the portrait would be a full five feet taller than him. He noticed at the bottom of the portrait were gold-inlaid letters.
Jonathan Davis Salisburg - 1885-1954
Felix repeated the name under his breath. He stood in awe for a few seconds, taking in the historical prowess the atmosphere around him held. He reached out to touch the portrait-
Felix jumped in terror. He spun about, searching for the source of the voice. It was feminine, but terrible and witchlike.
"LEAVE!" the voice hissed.
Felix needed no more impetus to do so. He stumbled over his own feet as he made for the entrance hall. As he reached the door, the lights extinguished themselves and ear-piercing screeches reverberated throughout the building. Felix lunged through the cracked door and tumbled head over heels into the grassy knoll. He got to his feet and charged up the hill, the witchy voice cackling from within the building.
Terrified out of his mind, Felix sprinted all the way home. He ignored the burning in his legs and didn't stop until he was in his room, safely tucked under his covers.

Aviation law provides rules for operating airplanes and other aircraft, and regulates airline flights. Airport construction, operation, and maintenance are also governed by aviation law. If you are a pilot, aviation law tells you the proper take-off and landing procedures, what to include in flight plans and where to file them, what altitudes to fly at, and whether instrument-only flight is possible. If there is an aviation accident, the person responsible—whether it's the baggage handler, the airplane mechanic, the flight controller, or the pilot—is often easily identified by their failure to follow specified flight procedures. There can be many factors in an aviation accident, so an aviation lawyer is often very helpful.

Chapter Two - Part TwoMature
There is no Jacob there anymore, in it's place stands Usiel, the dominion of the sun. That is who I really am...
As I took the revelatory form, bright white light fills the room yet it doesn't blind Jacob's father. My black skin becomes golden with veins of a pure white glow coursing through it and a pair of eagle's wings protrude from my back.
"Joseph, you have always been faithful to the lord." I declare my voice cavernous yet warm and charismatic.
"Is it you my lord? Have you taken the form of my child to contact me?" He questions, in religious ecstasy.
"Be not afraid." I declared.
"What is it you ask of me my lord?"
"What would you give?"
"Anything my lord!"
"Even if I ask for your eternal loyalty would you oblige?"
"Yes!" He said, almost screaming.
I walked softly toward him and set my hand on his head...
Then I smacked him hard upside the head. "You're an Idiot." I swore under my breath, changing back to the mortal aspect I now posses.
"What are you, an angel?" The preacher ask.
