METALS-London copper jumps as shorts rush for cover
* Mine supply issues ease oversupply concerns for copper-Argonaut
* Coming Up: Fed releases statement after policy meet at 1800 GMT (Adds late prices, details)
By Melanie Burton
MELBOURNE, July 29 (Reuters) - London copper jumped on Wednesday as short sellers rushed to cover their positions amid speculation about further stimulus from China, and ahead of a policy decision from the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Asian shares clung to modest gains on Wednesday on pledges Beijing would buy more shares if needed, while caution ruled elsewhere before the Fed ends a two-day policy meeting later on Wednesday with markets divided on whether it will take a hawkish or dovish stance.
Three-month London Metal Exchange copper gained 0.28 percent to $5,312.50 a tonne by 0742 GMT, climbing $12.50 above the previous session's close.
Shanghai Futures Exchange copper surged 2.49 percent to 39,090 yuan ($6,297) a tonne.
Traders said the rally was sparked by short-covering.
"The market always going to be prone to a short-covering rally, but it will most likely fail all things being equal ... what has (fundamentally) changed?" said a broker in Hong Kong. Continuación...

Those yearning to live the Rock and Roll lifestyle should take note; musicians living fast really do die younger.
Studies by the Centre for Public Health found that in the past 50 years, musicians were more likely to die prematurely than the wider population.
The lavish lifestyle of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll may be hugely appealing but can result in the tragedy of premature deaths with artists such as Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston.
Among the surprise revelations, the report "Dying to be famous" showed solo performers are twice as likely to die as their counterparts in bands. It also revealed that a third of those who died young and been subjected to abuse in childhood.
Professor Mark Bellis, at the Centre for Public Health at Liverpool John Moores University, decided to look behind the tragic tales from Tupac to Sid Vicious to examine the relationship between fame and premature mortality.
"We wanted to examine the risks associated with being a rock star, and whether it was higher than other areas," Professor Bellis said.
After studying 1,489 famous musicians in North America and Europe who became celebrities in the 50 years to 2006, he said that music stars had "reduced survival compared to the general population".
The results, which were published in the online journal BMJ Open, found that 5.4 per cent of those in bands died prematurely in the UK, while the figure rose to 9.8 per cent among solo musicians. Those percentages both doubled in the US.
The professor said: "This culture exposes people to a certain lifestyle, and on the other hand certain people are more drawn towards it. The opportunities are magnified"
The obsession with dead musicians is nothing new. There is even the so called "27 Club" where musicians including Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and more recently Winehouse, all died at the age of 27 often through substance abuse. However, the report found that an elevated risk at that age was "unsubstantiated".
A third of the stars that died had adverse childhood experience, which the report termed as physical, emotional or sexual abuse. Others included living with a chronically depressed, suicidal or mentally ill person or a substance abuser or coming from a broken home.
The career "may be attractive to those escaping an unhappy childhood, but it may also provide the resource to feed a pre-disposition to unhealthy and risky behaviour," Professor Bellis said.
Four in five of the dead stars who suffered several forms of abuse in their childhood died of substance misuse or violence-related causes. "We found that those going into the industry may have a variety of insecurities and they may need protecting."
"You get a bigger concentration of adverse childhood experience in the poorer areas," he said. "People may see music as a way out. Many may think millions of pounds will undo the trauma. That doesn't seem to be the case."
The deaths are higher in America than Europe, where the authors pointed to a different support system, such as universal healthcare, and culture. "Also the risk behaviour in the US is different, because they have access to guns," the professor said.

Finding and Sharing great content is very time consuming.
But we all have plenty of times on our hands.
I don't think so….
Social Media eats into our time every day and it's getting worse!
Content curation tools are available to help. Want more time for other work? I'm sure you do…….
Content curation is the process of filtering through content to find the best content. And it's something that most of us do. The following was from a survey from Curata (content curation tool) with businesses enquiring if they regularly share content. As you can see only 5% of those surveyed don't share.
So here are some content curation tools that will save you time finding great content.
Note: Make sure also to read the essential effective guide to content sharing.
1. Scoop.it – Follow experts in your field
In Scoop.it you create boards of content around specific topics and then add content to these boards. So if you are time poor and in the search for content spend some time finding people on Scoop.it that add great content to relevant boards and follow them.
When you use Scoop.it other real people find content for you. It's not a machine!! If you find the right people with the right content you'll save a lot of time.
Here's an example of a board I created for top social media posts. I add any posts I find that are great to this board. This is useful to other people as they don't have to read all the articles I read. It's also useful to me as I can re-share some of this great content!
2. Storify – Create or Find Stories
Imagine that you missed a really great conference but you heard that someone 'storified' it. This means they went to Storify and searched through the content discussed online and created a summary.
This summary could include tweets, Facebook updates, pictures, videos and much more.
So you get a story about the conference. With Storify you can create or monitor stories and the stories are curated by a person so you get a good overview of a particular topic, event, conference etc.
Storify is very easy to set up and provides a good free version!
3. List.ly – Find your perfect list
On List.ly community members can create a list about anything which can include text, video or images. Other community members can add items to the list and vote up or down items on the list.
You can use List.ly to get your community to help curate a list for you. Or find some lists already curated.
Find people on List.ly producing relevant content and track their lists.
4. Newsle: Track when people are in the news
Newsle searches through many news sites to find mentions of people within your social networks and then provides you with a summary email showing you where they are mentioned.
Quite often this will discover content for you that you many not have been aware of. If your people you are connected to are in the news it's useful to share out that content or just congratulate them.
Within Newsle you can also track people that you are not connected with but are important. For example, you may want to track mentions of a particular journalist.
5. Bundle up your content with Bundlepost
With Bundlepost you set up RSS feeds of content based on keywords and Bundlepost automatically retrieves and presents this information to you. You can then select this content and prepare a content delivery schedule for multiple platforms.
When this is prepared you import it into Hootsuite and then all content is delivered according to your schedule.
You can also create your own content folders where you include your marketing messages that you can add to the queues whenever you require. If you like hashtags for your content Bundlepost can automatically add these also.
6. Paper.li: Produce or follow a newspaper
Paper.li is a tool for creating your own online newspaper based on content you select. You add various sources and specify filters on these sources and a paper is produced. You can then add or remove from the paper.
The following shows a source set up for twitter which filters out tweets with 'social media tools' in them. It also looks for articles on Social Media Examiner that has the words social media tools in them.
This can be very useful to create a newsletter for subscribers or just create a newsletter just for you so you can find content easier!
7. Curata: Curate Your Own Blog and Share content
I got a demonstration of Curata over a year ago and I was impressed then. This is not a free tool but if you're an Enterprise user and want a tool with extensive functionality it is worth looking at Curata.
There are some great features for finding and sharing content. For example, you can arrive in, in the morning, select pieces of content relevant to your business and automatically create and publish a blog posts which includes a summary of each of the content pieces found.
You may not always use curated content for blog posts but when you do this is a very useful tool.
8. Postplanner
Postplanner is a Facebook tool for finding and sharing great content. The content engine in Postplanner is a great way to find content. You can enter in keywords and search for trending content within your niche. You can then sort this content to view the content with the most likes or shares so you can see the most popular content.
This is a great way of finding content to share on Facebook.
The following shows trending content related to social media that is sorted by the highest number of shares.
9. Triberr – Find content from trusted bloggers
Triberr is a community of bloggers that provides an easy way to find and share great content. You join a tribe which has bloggers that share great content that is relevant and then you can view a stream of their latest content and easily share.
When you share you can specify a time interval between shares so it's not all shared out at the same time.
Triberr can be a great source of finding fresh content on a daily basis.
Final Comments
A good way of attracting more followers online is to share really good content. You also want to share really good content that is relevant to your target audience. Content curation tools provide the ability to find and share this content.
If used correctly it can save you a lot of time.
So what content curation tools do you use? What tools above would you consider using?
You know we love comments. C'mon !!!

Chelsea Handler Talks Uganda Adventures in Paper Spring 2014
With her new memoir "Uganda Be Kidding Me" continuing gain success, Chelsea Handler shares more details about her interesting adventure in the Spring 2014 issue of Paper magazine.
The hilarious talk show host looked picture perfect in designer duds from Marchesa and Dsquared2 for the Danielle Levitt-shot spread while dishing about everything from her infamous safari expedition to her past careers.
Highlights from Miss Handler's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit Paper!
On her African adventure:
"I have never drunk more in my entire life than on that safari, because you are sitting in that car all day long. You can't get out. I have 85 pictures of me peeing. This me peeing off a boat, in Botswana peeing off a jeep, my sister and my cousin pee, Sue [who works with me] pee. It was crazy."
On her other book "Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me":
"It was just as much work as a real book for some reason. I went on tour back-to-back for two years, which meant shooting my show from Monday through Thursday, flying out Thursday, performing, doing a book signing, two shows Friday and book signings after each, then flying to a new city Saturday, two shows and book signings at each - it was the most insane schedule you could imagine. I was happy to do it. But by the end of it, I was like, 'I don't ever want to hear the sound of my own voice again.' Which was unfortunate because I had my television job."
On her life as a waitress:
"I was the biggest b*tch. I didn't understand people who wouldn't look you in the eye and tipped before tax. Do you have any idea the kind of tips I leave? How you make someone feel when they get a $100 tip on a drink?"
On her lifestyle now:
"Life has become so ridiculous because I have access to such nonsense and I can go to these places. I've become so infantilized by having so many assistants - people who take care of you and pack for you and dress you. It just never stops. It's very random nonsense but I'm glad to have it. We stay in places based on how they make a margarita. I call ahead and have my assistant talk to them. I'm seriously on the border of turning into Jennifer Lopez. That's what i think of myself."
On her friends Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Aniston and Charlize Theron:
"People are like, 'Why are you friends with her and her and her?!' I'm like, 'You guys, I have a different person on my show every day. That's how I date, that's how I make friends."

I totally understand why many folks in the suburbs between Baltimore and Washington have something of an identity crisis when it comes to NFL fandom. This goes especially for fans without longstanding ties to either city.
An elected official in the city of D.C., though, could only actively stump for a Baltimore team if he or she were born elsewhere, or had familial links to Charm City, or had completely overdosed on the "Grape" flavor of Five Hour Energy while encased in a full-body purple camo mummy wrap.
And yet, not one but two (2) D.C. Council members have apparently thus lost their minds in recent days. First came Marion Barry's bizarrely enthusiastic endorsement of the Ravens on Twitter — before, during and after the Super Bowl. Highlights:
* Whoope there it is! Raven's Deeeeeefense!
* In-ter-cep-tion. Don't fight. Don't hate he playa hate the game!
* I bet those Baltimore fans down in New Orleans are so excited! I'm very happy for them! 109 yard return?! WOW!!!
* I'm ride or die with our beltway neighbors! Go Ravens!
* The fat lady is singing!!!! Game over!!!
* Congratulations to the Baltimore Ravens! Job well done!!!
* The Ravens stuck it out and brought home a victory! The beltway is proud of you!
* We're going to miss you Ray! Thank you for all the wonderful years of exciting football!!
And if that all weren't enough, fellow Council member Jack Evans offered an homage to the Ravens before a legislative meeting on Tuesday, while another member — Jim Graham — enthusiastically clapped, as seen here.
"This is a great event," Evans said, before reading ceremonial resolution honoring the Friendship Collegiate Academy's varsity football team. "And I'm very pleased we could have the team with us today for this ceremonial resolution. I'm gonna read the resolution, because it will explain the exploits of this great football team today, following upon the victory in the Super Bowl on Sunday by the Baltimore Ravens.
"Now, they're not the Washington Redskins, but they're pretty close," Evans continued. "So I want to congratulate the Baltimore Ravens on their excellent victory in the Super Bowl. It's a team very close to our heart. And hopefully next year it'll be the Washington Redskins versus the Baltimore Ravens. Wouldn't that be [something]? And you know, we could have done it. If RGIII would have remained healthy, we would have been there."
The latter point is arguable. Whether the Ravens are a team very close to D.C.'s heart is, I think, not arguable. They are not.

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Illinois and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Is she attatched to a blood pressure machine that is giving a continuous readout and is this how you know that her pressure goes up and down. The blood pressure reading records 2 numbers (systolic and diastolic) , upper and lower. Do you know what the diastolic reading is?
What medications has she been on?
What medication is she on now?
Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX await your reply.
Your wife has very interesting symptoms. A rash is not a typical side effect of the med that she took. It is very important to keep blood pressure within a normal range. High blood pressure over a period of time does put excess strain on the heart and can eventually lead to heart attack or stroke. The medication that you mentioned is commonly uses for hypertension. However if she is having low BP readings then this is not proper medication. Sometimes hypertension can be controlled with diet and lifestyle. She is not overweight at 120 pounds. Since she is a vegetarian, what is her source of protein? Does she smoke? She should be under the care of a cardiologist at this time, and should have her heart rate monitored for 24 hous to see if she has an irregular heartbeat which is causing her to faint. She also should have her carotid artery evaluated for any blockage.


text: Thank you Jr Sure, I'm glad to help : Hit detections are made ith simple box colliders. in Cinema 4D (or any other 3D tool), I create physical, animated cubes, one for hit taken, and one for hit sent. Then in Unity, I turn them unvisible, and copy their animated position, rotation, and scale to 2 box colliders. As simple as that I chose this method in order to have the most precise control over hit distance, size, and range. Works well.

story board
A good Website
This website is a good Website as the text, graphics and colours are sleek and professional.
Text- This websites text and content is a high standard. The topic is clear, and the pages are neat and tidy. There isn't to much content on each page, which allows the site map to flow in a more progressive fashion with each page exploring a different aspect of Design. The Light Grey stands out from the white background, therefore it looks like it is aimed at a mature crowd.
Graphics- Each graphic represents a different page, making it visually appealing and interactive. This concept therefor allows people who aren't good at English to still access pages, as they can follow the pictures to understand where it navigates to. The illustrations are simple but effective
Colours- The grey and White theme gives the website as a whole a mature and professional feel, which is defiantly important for this website as it is promoting a guys design portfolio. The dashes of red make parts stand out, but doesn't distract the reader.
A bad website
This website is a bad website because of multiple reason including text, colours and graphics
Text- This text is horrible as te colours of the text is horrible because it dissolves into the background. The website has not been integrated with the visual well making the text look rigid and uncoordinated. The block writing is not professional, therefore it would not draw the attention that is needed. The bad use of paragraphs and load of content on one page looks as though the author has been lazy and has just chucked what ever he could on one page.
Colours- The colours clash with each other. This is because the website has not followed a colour palate which is obvious.
Graphics- the location and position of the photos line patheticly with the content. Especially with the picture of the man, who is covering part of the text, leaving the section of text under the man unable to be read.
What is Website Design
Website design is the process of collaborating how the design will look, compose and expose. To Design a website, a series of steps must be followed to ensure success in producing a sensible and easy website.
The layout involves working out where things will go in terms and how they are arranged in graphics, text and ads
A chose of colour palate is essential for you website to be sleek and professional, making sure that it will identify itself with the actual audience.
including logos, pictures and icons appropriate for your product
It is important to chose fonts that are clear and enable people to read it clearly and correctly
The content is the most important part of the website, as it is what makes it up.
What is Web 2.0
Web 2.0 is the second generation of the World Wide Web. Its information is transferred form the HTML, to allow the public to store and look at information.
What is CSS3
Cascading Style Sheets, or better known as it acronym, CSS is the software used for website makers to define and develop the look and feel for a website page. It allows developers to divide their website content from the design, allowing the HTML to function more fluently. It is an important content in website design as it persuades the mood and tone of how the website will present itself. CSS3 is obviously a more developed version of the previous CSS programs, allowing the CSS system to run with less friction and steep.
What is HTML5
Hypertext Mark-up Language 5, or better known to its initials of HTML 5, is the coding which makes up a webpages description. It is every websites backbone, and the core element to a websites aesthetics. HTML 5 is a higher level and more advanced version of the original HTML. The functions that makes it stronger then the previous versions include:
-The fact it doesn't depend as much on certain plugins to make it run smoothly
– Mark up will replace script whenever possible
– Its independent
-Enables public development process

Orlando Toyota Camry gets redesigned for 2015
The curtain has officially been lifted on the new design for the 2015 Toyota Camry in Orlando and we couldn't be more excited to share the details with you! This new Toyota has finally been revealed with a completely redesigned exterior style, refined interior, enhanced performance and more! In fact, only the roof remains from the current model, as the Orlando Toyota Camry was completely stripped down and rebuilt from the ground up!
Orlando Toyota Camry to offer changes inside and out!
Whether you look at this new Toyota in Orlando from the outside or get inside, you'll notice a ton of changes! The whole silhouette of the Toyota Camry has been altered with slightly bigger dimensions, a more compact look and an aggressive stance. The front is more expressive with a remodeled bumper and a larger grille. The changes also extend to the back with a streamlined look and sportier tail lights.
Once you get inside this Orlando Toyota Camry, you'll notice upgraded materials, brand new technology and a roomier feel! With these changes, this new Toyota displays an upscale image. Some of the new interior features include:
- Quality upholstery, including premium cloth and genuine leather with soft suede seats, depending on the trim level
- Detailed stitching and chrome accents throughout, to give it a classy and modern feel
- Increased space in the center console and a convenient power source in the storage box, so you can store more belongings and plug in electronics out of sight
- Available wireless charging, so you can keep the battery of your smart phone charged while on the go
- Top-flight in-car electronics, which includes a 4.2-inch screen in the instrument panel to display audio, navigation and more right in front of you
Orlando Toyota Camry gets improved performance and safety
Along with its transformed look and added technology, this new Toyota in Orlando will offer improved performance and safety! For a more dynamic driving experience, the 2015 Toyota Camry features a unique suspension system, improved brakes and fine-tuned electric power steering! It'll also keep you safe with all of the features it has to offer, including:
- Lane Departure Alert, which gives you a warning when you unexpectedly veer from your lane
- Adaptive Cruise Control, which will automatically adjust to the speed of the vehicle in front of you when in cruise control to avoid an accident
- Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, which alerts you when it senses a car beside or behind you that you may not already see when switching lanes
- Pre-Collision System, which can sense when a collision is going to happen and automatically applies the brakes to defuse the situation
This new Toyota won't be arriving at our Toyota dealership until later this year. However, you can check out the 2014 Toyota Camry today, which already offers great style and features!
Visit Toyota of Orlando at 3575 Vineland Rd. near the Mall at Millenia to see what we have to offer. You can also call our Internet Sales Team at (888) 725-3520 for more information or to set up an appointment to meet with a Sales Specialist.

Welcome! I'm 23 with a WRX and almost done convincing my dad (51) to check out a new STi for his next car
Besides all the obvious practical benefits of the hatch (it's insane what you can get to fit in one) I personally think that the 2011+ hatches look a lot better than the sedans. More aggressive, more character.

'Modern Family's Julie Bowen Headlines New Bridgestone Tire Ad Campaign
Bridgestone Americas (Bridgestone) is targeting a new audience of tire buyers with the advertising campaign for its revolutionary new tire line. The world's largest tire and rubber manufacturer has tapped Emmy-award winning actress and Modern Family star Julie Bowen to be featured in its new DriveGuard tire advertising campaign. The advertisements, which are designed to appeal to women, mothers and safety-minded drivers, show Bowen avoiding the worry, frustration and inconvenience associated with a flat tire by equipping her car with new DriveGuard tires from Bridgestone.
"We know women are making more family purchasing decisions today, and Julie's enthusiasm and sense of humor about life really connect with strong, smart and bold women," said Erik Seidel, Vice president of brand management, Bridgestone Americas. "Julie provides us with the perfect voice to communicate our new DriveGuard tires as a solution for safety-minded drivers who want to stay in control of their day."
Featuring specially designed run-flat technology, DriveGuard tires from Bridgestone give drivers the ability to continue driving up to 50 miles (80 kilometers) at maximum speeds of 50 miles (80 kilometers) per hour if a puncture or loss of pressure should occur*. DriveGuard tires are the first full line of mass-market replacement run-flat tires available for coupes, sedans and wagons not originally equipped with run-flat technology. DriveGuard tires are available in the United States and Canada for coupes, sedans and wagons with tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), and come with a 50,000 (80,000 kilometers) to 60,000 (100,000 kilometers) mileage treadwear warranty.
The DriveGuard television ad campaign will premiere on Primetime network programming on May 15 during the season finale of ABC's Grey's Anatomy. The debut ad features Bowen on an everyday adventure with a tire engineer from Bridgestone. A :30 second spot entitled "Birthday", as well as a :15 second spot entitled "Mess With The World", will run throughout the campaign, which is flighted through September 2014. Social media engagement with Bowen and an integrated print and marketing campaign including POP, radio and digital will support the series of broadcast ads. The DriveGuard advertising campaign was developed with Publicis Hawkeye, a full-service integrated advertising agency based in Dallas, and part of the Publicis Worldwide global network.

The dilemma
I am concerned about my 17-year-old daughter's nutritional intake. She's a binge/purge anorexic struggling to control her own diet and health, with lots of determination and some success. She insists on doing her own cooking and generally has one grapefruit, one apple, one orange, one banana, some dates and at least five veg, but her only protein is baked beans, tofu or lentils. She's trying to introduce new foods (eg. vegan date loaf), but eats no fats or nuts, and won't take supplements. She uses too much salt and vinegar to give her food taste, and complains of stomach pains and wind. I'm worried about her future health and energy levels for her A-levels. Given her refusal to eat fat, can you suggest other vegan additions to her diet?
The psychologist
Barbara Douglas
Your daughter is trying hard to take responsibility for her eating, so don't put all your focus on her nutritional intake. Doing so can mirror the eating disorder and draw you further into the problem. It is likely that your daughter knows a great deal about food and nutrition. Instead of offering advice, ask her what support she'd find most helpful from you. If you can listen without offering suggestions - hard as that can be - she may be able to discuss this.
People with eating disorders often have low self-esteem and yet very high expectations of themselves, so focusing on achievement in A-levels could be counterproductive. It may be helpful simply to acknowledge that you are proud of her, regardless of exam grades. If your daughter is willing, her GP may refer her to an eating disorders unit for psychological, medical and dietetic support. Many offer family sessions that can be very helpful, especially when the young person is living at home.
· Barbara Douglas is a psychologist specialising in eating disorders (www.counselling-psychology-in-exeter.com)
The mother
Jo Kingsley
As a mother whose own daughter has battled anorexia, I understand your anxiety. Alice ended up eating only 100 calories a day and was hospitalised for six months. Even years after her recovery, it's impossible to get her to eat any fat. Keep putting your side of things without being confrontational. I had some luck suggesting yogurt, which is low fat but contains calcium. You're fortunate that your daughter is under 18 - you still have some say in her treatment.
Take her to an eating disorders specialist, who will stress the importance of varying her diet. Be around for her meals so she can't hide the food, or be sick, but negotiate in other ways. Alice would walk for miles to lose weight, so we compromised and did 20 minutes before school and 20 minutes after. Concentrate on being strong for your daughter, and find a support group through the Eating Disorders Association (0845 634 1414; www.edauk.com) for when you need propping up yourself.

The nutritionist
Dr John Briffa
Those who binge and purge usually have unstable levels of sugar in their blood. Low blood sugar is believed to be an underlying factor in a desire to binge. Purging may then lower blood sugar, and so the cycle repeats. If your daughter eats mainly fruit and vegetables, her diet is likely to be deficient in protein, which is important for blood sugar stability. Tofu and pulses are reasonable sources of protein for vegans, but she is likely to do even better through the addition of other protein-rich foods such as nuts, seeds and avocado.
These foods are not just packed with protein, they contain healthy fats in which she is likely to be deficient. Your daughter may be wanting to control her eating pattern, but I suspect that she will not find this easy unless she starts consuming more of these protein- and fat-rich foods. Appropriate psychological support may help here, perhaps with the aid of a nutritionist experienced in eating disorders.

QIAGEN has a proven track record of providing advanced Sample to Insight solutions to help tackle global health emergencies, such as the Zika virus. This outbreak is already overshadowing the Summer Olympics in Brazil.
Dr. Maya Brohmann, Director Implementation & Support, is an expert on Brazil. She even learned to speak Portuguese to communicate better with the Brazilian OEM partner Bio-Manguinhos. Maya knows from experience how dangerous the favelas can be, but when that company's MDx R&D Head told her about a new health scare in November 2015, linked to standing water in the favelas, she sensed a very different kind of danger.
Bio-Manguinhos, a leading provider of vaccines and diagnostics to Brazil's Ministry of Health, is at the forefront of efforts to understand what the new threat is about and develop the tools laboratories require to detect this threat. In this respect, Maya had every reason to be confident that QIAGEN's rapid response experience and extensive toolbox in molecular diagnostics would prove helpful to tackle the growing problem.
For example, during a smaller Zika epidemic on the Yap Islands of Micronesia in 2007, QIAGEN's QuantiTect Probe RT-PCR Kit and QIAamp® Viral RNA Mini Kit were used to identify the virus in patient samples. Almost a decade later, QIAGEN's products still play a key role in responding to the latest outbreak in the Americas and are an integral part of the test protocol for detection of the Zika virus published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which serves as a blueprint for many labs worldwide.
The Zika story began nearly 70 years ago in an equatorial forest in Uganda where leopards and snakes abounded and crocodiles filled the malarial swamps. In this hostile environment generations of entomologists have set up camp to bait and trap mosquitoes, as over 70 species breed in the trees. Back in 1947, the Scottish virologist Alexander Haddow named a virus identified in a sentinel rhesus monkey after that forest: Zika. Initially little attention was paid to this flavivirus, which is primarily transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The Flavivirus genus also includes the yellow fever, dengue and West Nile viruses. Zika was always thought to be a much milder form of its killer cousins, as 80% of Zika infections are asymptomatic, and the symptoms themselves – pinkish rash, bloodshot eyes, fever, muscle and joint pains – are relatively mild. Brazil changed all that.
Hike in microcephaly cases
In August 2015 medics in the maternity wards of Recife in northeast Brazil noticed a hike in babies born with microcephaly, an alarming condition whose most striking symptom is an abnormally small head. In 2014 Brazil had 160 cases of microcephaly; 3,800 had been reported by October 2015. Just what was going on?
Months of circumstantial evidence collected by an international team of neurologists and epidemiologists revealed that many mothers of microcephalic babies had been infected with the Zika virus. Microcephaly had never been linked to Zika infections in other countries, but developments in Brazil were very different. In February 2016 the WHO declared an international public health emergency; in April health officials from the CDC confirmed Zika as the cause of this birth defect. An analysis of microcephalic babies in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco and published in the British Medical Journal in April pointed to "extremely severe" brain damage. Dr. Anne Schuchat, a CDC Deputy Director: "This virus is scarier than we thought." Nobody really knows how the virus reached Brazil; a single infected passenger arriving by plane might have transmitted it. Now it has spread to over 30 countries of the Americas and the Caribbean.
Rapid response is key
Zika is the latest in a long line of global health threats where QIAGEN has been critically involved. The first assay for SARS and the leading offerings for the swine and bird flu all came from QIAGEN. Likewise, QIAGEN's technologies played a pivotal role in responding to the devastating 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. "We have a long history of collaborating with healthcare authorities such as the CDC, the WHO or various national ministries of health," explains Veronique Baron-Wunderle, QIAGEN's Senior Director Business & Medical Lead for Infectious Diseases. "Diagnostic testing is a key component of virtually any outbreak response plan, especially if no vaccination or treatment is available. Here, rapid response is particularly important, as it can frequently help to contain an outbreak by interrupting the chain of infection."
These past experiences also guide the current Zika strategy, explains Veronique. In early 2016, the Molecular Diagnostics Business Area formed a dedicated task force to keep a close eye on the outbreak, share regional action plans and monitor any changes in the management of Zika in different countries. "Thanks to the collaboration with our commercial teams, we can assess the needs of our customers in real time and identify potential business opportunities," she says.
This approach has proven to be especially successful in the Americas. "Our teams generated business for our automated workflow and sample preparation solutions," says Veronique. "At the same time, we greatly benefit from the ongoing knowledge exchange across the regions, especially with APAC and EMEA."
QIAGEN – the gold standard
In Brazil the long relationship with Bio-Manguinhos has created a trustful climate. Over the course of this year, Bio-Manguinhos plans to offer a triplex test for Zika, dengue and chikungunya that is capable of distinguishing between those three flaviviruses, which all cause very similar symptoms. "What motivates me most in this situation is that I can contribute to tackling the Zika outbreak," Maya says. "It's a combination of my desire to help, a childhood spent in South America, my professional interest in infectious diseases, and my work at QIAGEN."
A strong track record and long-standing experience in tackling infectious disease outbreaks has made QIAGEN the partner of choice – not only for Bio-Manguinhos, but also for many other institutions and healthcare authorities worldwide. "QIAGEN is definitely the gold standard," Veronique says. "We're always the first port of call." With the risk of pandemic outbreaks rising, QIAGEN will continue to play a key role worldwide.
But back to Brazil, a country Maya knows like the back of her hand. What advice does she give to visitors with tickets for the Rio Olympics? "Stay away from the favelas! They were unsafe for tourists even before Zika mosquitoes started breeding in the open canisters of drinking water in those slums. And a mosquito repellent is a must – I'll be using one for the first time on my next trip to Brazil."

text: hey guys im new to the forum and i just got my first caddy about a month ago, its a 1994 cadillac fleetwood Brougham (presidential) it has 69k original miles i changed the spark plugs and fuel filter because the guy i bought it from had the car sitting there for a while soon i need to drain the radiator fluid. the car drives really smooth the transmission is not slipping or anything but at times when i tap on the gas the car hesitates to accelerate and when i let go on the brake the car doesnt even move i have to tap on the gas in order to move it a little bit but its kinda odd because i really have to have a heavy foot on the gas in order to move it. but when it reaches speed she seems very powerful maybe about to 20mph.. can you guys give me any help or advise PLEASE!!!! i dont want to sell her:canttalk: because i fear the longer i wait the worse its gonna get... i also checked the transmission fluid it seems okay.

As risk of drought rises, Australian farmers struggle to invest
By Colin Packham
SYDNEY (Reuters) - When a scorching drought struck eastern Australia in 2006, cattle farmers Robyn and Paul Kendal had to slaughter nearly all their livestock and spend around a year of their normal turnover on feed to keep the remainder alive.
With a recurrence of El Nino, the weather pattern behind the drought, looming and dry conditions already affecting an area larger than South Africa, another major drought could be one struggle too many for farmers such as the Kendals.
"In 2006, we saw the lowest amount of rains here since records began...and we still haven't recovered from that even today," said Robyn Kendal, whose 3,000-acre (1,215 hectares) cattle farm is about 500 km (300 miles) southwest of Sydney.
Already one of the world's top agricultural producers, Australia has ambitions of becoming a "food bowl" to Asia as it tries to diversify its economy to counter the waning of a decade-long mining boom that brought the country riches.
That goal is threatened by its harsh climate - private insurance to protect against drought is generally too expensive for farmers, undermining their capacity to invest to boost output as they must if Australia is to feed more of Asia's fast-growing middle class.
Drought is a traditional foe in Australia, the world's third-biggest beef exporter and a big producer of crops such as wheat and sugar. But an inability to contain the risk means less money available to channel into new equipment or technology for farmers already saddled with a record A$64 billion ($59 billion) of debt.
"In Queensland, farmers' interest payments as a proportion of their receipts is twice what it is elsewhere in the country," said Peter Gooday, head of farm analysis at the Australian Department of Agriculture.
"If you are struggling to meet your interest payments then that is your first thought rather than investing." Continued...

Dear Joe,… in your memory.
Joe Cocker, the white who sings like black, a great voice! privileged.
I think this is one of the essential LP of Joe Cocker,….
This CD of new cover versions of songs from the Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was included with an issue of Mojo Magazine. The songs are mostly performed by alternative rock acts that you never heard of. However, for the most part, they do a pretty good job…
Gov't Mule is almost single-handedly bringing back the spirit of the '60s and '70s power trios, the same kind of rock & roll magic that made Jimi Hendrix and Cream such musical icons. This show was recorded on New Year's Eve, 1998, at the Roxy in Atlanta, GA, and documents the band in peak form, from the power charged vocals and lead guitar of Warren Haynes, to Abts' freight train drumming and Woody's thunder driven bass. On any given night, Gov't Mule alone can rock your socks off, but on this magical evening, the band was joined by some real brothers of the road – the Allman Brothers, the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton; sideman Chuck Leavell was there, along with Parliament's Bernie Worrell, former Black Crowes guitarist Marc Ford, Aquarium Rescue Unit's Jimmy Herring, Randall Bramblett, newly appointed Allman Brothers' bandmember, Derek Trucks and Yonrico Scott, the drummer from the Derek Trucks Band. Talk about a stage full of talent. AMG

Cursorial is a biological term that describes an organism as being adapted specifically to run. It is typically used in conjunction with an animal's feeding habits or another important adaptation. For example, a horse can be considered a "cursorial grazer", while a wolf may be considered a "cursorial predator". The term is typically applied to animals adapted to long-distance running at high speeds, rather than animals with high acceleration over short distances - a cheetah is considered cursorial, while a leopard is not. Within vertebrates, the term is rarely applied to animals under 1 kg of mass, as such organisms typically move in a series of short bursts rather than at a constant speed. All extant curosial vertebrates are endothermic, allowing high metabolic rates and high endurance, though it is possible some extinct species were ectothermic.
Some species of spiders are also considered cursorial, as they walk much of the day, looking for prey. The oldest fossils of jumping spiders are from Baltic amber dated at 54 to 42 million years ago.
A flesh-eating animal. Any of various predatory, flesh-eating mammals of the order Carnivora, including the dogs, cats, bears, weasels, hyenas, and raccoons. One who victimizes or injures others; a predator. Also an insectivorous plant.
A genus of mid-sized, leaf-eating African monkeys. They are related to baboons and mandrills, as well as to the langurs and macaques of Southeast Asia.
(Critically Endangered). One of three categories of threat on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
The dead and decaying body of an animal.
A genus of mid-sized, leaf-eating African monkeys. They are related to baboons and mandrills, as well as to the langurs and macaques of Southeast Asia.
also: raid crops, crop-raider, crop-raid the act of entering into a cultivated area and stripping the plants of edible parts, often causing damage to the entire crop and ruining the plants in addition to stealing the fruits or vegetables, the most economically valuable part of the crop; this behavior is seen in a number of primates living in close proximity to humans
active during twilight hours (dusk and dawn)
vocalization that provides information on the whereabouts of other group members
belonging to the same species
a close relationship of a male and female during her estrus that involves their moving and feeding together, much sexual activity, and frequent mutual grooming
also: copulatory, copulate sexual intercourse
AKA The Convention for the International Trade of Endangered Species, an international agreement between governments that has the goal of ensuring that the international trade of plant and animal species does not threaten their survival; there are three levels of classification (called Indexes I-III) and regulations associated with those classifications dictate in what quantities plants and animals can be traded (if at all) and rules governing the import and export of these species
active periodically and sporadically throughout both the day and night, as in some lemur species
members of the Old World monkey family Cercopithecinae including langurs, baboons, guenons, and macaques
also: codominant relationship in which two or more animals are equally positioned in the social dominance hierarchy and have equal priority, access, and superiority in regards to feeding, sexual, and locomotion behavior
also: censusing the systematic count of a population
a member of the primate infraorder Catarrhini comprised of 4 families including the monkeys of Africa, great apes, gibbons, and humans
also: cantilevering to spring out from a branch to catch prey with the hands while the hind legs hold on to the branch

Health Systems Strengthening
I-TECH works to strengthen the following systems that support the provision of high-quality, sustainable prevention, care, and treatment of infectious diseases.
Strengthening Clinical Care and Treatment Systems
I-TECH clinical mentors work to strengthen the provision of care for people living with HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and sexually transmitted infections (STI) by assessing and making recommendations for improvements to service-delivery systems. Clinical mentors pilot and implement draft tools, algorithms, and guidelines that help providers offer quality care. I-TECH also applies quality improvement strategies such as Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles to construct improvement goals, test proposed changes, and implement adjustments that lead to increased quality of operations, service delivery, and care.
Strengthening Health Information Systems
I-TECH has significant capacity in the rapidly expanding field of health informatics for resource-limited clinical settings. I-TECH develops tools and systems and provides technical assistance for electronic medical record, training management, and remote clinical diagnostic systems.
Strengthening Laboratory Systems
I-TECH strengthens laboratory facilities by equipping labs with up-to-date materials and supplies, designing laboratory information systems, providing training, and supporting the introduction of new diagnostics.
Strengthening Training and Education Systems
I-TECH, a joint program of the University of Washington and the University of California, San Francisco, draws on deep clinical and pedagogical expertise to strengthen educational institutions that coordinate, design, deliver, monitor, and evaluate courses, degree programs, and workshops on HIV and AIDS and other infectious diseases.
Clinical Assessment for Systems Strengthening (ClASS)
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), with support from the International Training and Education Center for Health (I-TECH), developed the ClASS framework in 2008 to promote long-term sustainability and country ownership of high quality HIV/AIDS programming. Since then, ClASS has built the capacity of 99 organizations, including governmental and civil society organizations, to manage programs in 17 PEPFAR countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean, and Eastern Europe. From its initial development, the ClASS framework involved input from a variety of global health partners including HRSA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Ministries of Health, and civil society organizations.
Leadership and Management Initiative
I-TECH's leadership and management initiative (LMI) activities are built upon the premise that good leadership and management skills can be learned, and must be taught alongside other technical competencies as essential components of health systems strengthening. Drawing on experienced global health faculty, I-TECH supports training and training-of-trainer programs in essential leadership skills – including advocacy and policy development, governance, values-based leadership, management, supervision, coalition building, and systems design and monitoring. These programs harness a range of methodologies to reach a diverse global audience, including distance and e-learning, skill assessments, workshops, curriculum enhancements, case studies, and supervised action plans.

A group of current and former State Department employees criticized the department security clearance revocation process, which they say unfairly penalizes Foreign Service officers for seeking mental health treatment.
In a statement issued Sept. 8, Concerned Foreign Service Officers said that although Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged FSOs to get treatment, it was not always in their own best interest to do so. Clinton said that no Foreign Service Officer had ever lost a security clearance due to having sought mental health treatment.
While CFSO pointed out that none of the 13 criteria for which a security clearance can be revoked are titled "seeking mental health treatment," it noted that a revocation could be justified under such categories as "mental disorders" or "personal conduct." In fact, the group said, Diplomatic Security (DS) revocation letters are short, and unlike those of other agencies, rarely provide details.
"But there have been well-documented cases where the unmentioned 'cause for concern' under the official guideline was the simple act of seeking mental health treatment and the biased reaction to it by DS adjudicators," the group said.
"As long as DS continues to adjudicate security clearances without a real whole-person review, without verification of the facts and without any real oversight," the statement said, they "will continue to revoke security clearances of employees who obtain mental health treatment."

It doesn't behoove the State Dept. to encourage employees to get help then slamming the door on them for doing so. It is right to be concerned over the treatment of those seeking mental health assistance. Would the Dept. be concerned if someone sought medical assistance for a physical health issue? I doubt it.
This bias against those who seek treatment will only serve to discourage those who really need treatment from seeking it out. Eventually you get a "Going Postal" situation, and the department's leadership will all be shrugging their shoulders wondering how one of their people could go so far over the edge.

Has anyone tried these? I have a few questions before I order. I'm looking for a few more fitteds for a newborn in a few months (DD was small) - I want small and trim! DD wasn't a big wetter - frequent, but not a lot each time. I'm assuming this one will be similar (but who really knows!). I'm looking for something trim for the first few weeks/months. I have far too many small and medium already, but didn't like that extra bulk of the smalls for the first while.
So ... Wazoodle has some diaper kits that caught my eye. Does anyone have any experience with these? Also, since I've never made a diaper before, and don't know a whole lot about the fabric, would you recommend the bamboo french terry kit (uses pique next to the skin) or the bamboo fleece? I don't know which is softer, thinner, more absorbent etc... If it makes any difference, I didn't much like the kissaluvs I had, but loved the Mother Ease Sandy's - I just wish they were trimmer. The other question I had was if you think I could easily make a slightly smaller diaper to accommodate the smaller newborn size, or is that just asking for problems. And, if you are still willing to answer more questions - any feedback on their breast pad kits? Thanks a lot!
Can't speak for the diaper kits, because I looked but didn't buy. I didn't want to make something with Zorb in it.
The breast pad kids are fine. I bought bamboo knit, and they are so soft. I just overstiched the edges and did a plain seam, (no serger, and I didn't want the bulk of turned and topstitched) and they are quite thin, very soft, but very large. They aren't at all contoured, but with a little extra effort you could take darts in them. I wear them for comfort, but if I need something that absolutely won't show, I use my commercial cotton ones (I think they're kushies).
I've been using the kits and like them but havent tried any other brand so cant compare.
- the small size is very small, and you can make them less bulky by only sewing in 2 layers of zorb instead of three.
- small would have only fit for about a month for us (never used cause fingers were too swollen from water retension to sew)
- havent tried the bamboo lined ones but the pique liner is better than i had thought - the poop seems to stick so it doesnt squish out the sides as easily :)
Thanks for the replies!
I was worried about the Zorb too - I don't really know anything about it. Will have to think about that further, but I think I'll give one of these kits a try - not sure if I'll go with fleece or french terry though. I guess I could always order more soaker blanks if I don't like the zorb. Glad to hear they fit small - I primarily want something for the first little while - until my smalls fit the baby. I have some preemie prefolds too, and a few AIO that are XS.
I think I'll try out the breast pads too - if I can figure out how to make a dart in them. I tried a number of nursing pads with my daughter, and the ones I loved (and the only ones I even liked) were bamboo (mother-ease). They were big (about 5"), but they were more invisible than even the disposable ones I tried (I'm small breasted) ... I wonder if that's more a property to the darts, or the fact that they washed so flat (not wrinkly at all). I had a different pair of bamboo that did not sit so flat (bambooino). I guess if they aren't flat enough, they can be used for overnight, or something else altogether - small wipes?
Thanks again for the input - won't be ordering for a week or so if anyone else wants to add an opinion!
You can definitely use them as facial wipes, or baby wipes. They would be good for that.
I went through tons of them in the first few weeks postpartum, and I don't get out much then, anyway. Good for nighttime, too. That way, you can save your expensive ones for when it matters that they don't show!
Also, you can decide how many layers to make them. I went with two layers, and just doubled up when I was leaking like crazy. That way, if the closer pad got damp, I could remove it and still had a dry pad. I did not get the stay-dry or the pul, just the bamboo.
As for french terry or fleece - I ordered yardage and soaker blanks, and between those and the pads I had quite a range. I just can't remember which fabric it was that shed terribly when it was cut and sewed. It did stop when the edges were finished and the item was washed. I've been trying to remember what fabric it was, but I can't be sure. I'm thinking it was the french terry though, and it was the loops that were a pain to deal with - lots of little fluffy shreds all over my clothes while I sewed!
I was tempted to order yardage and soaker blanks instead. Did you use both the french terry and the fleece for diapers? Which did you prefer as a diaper, or rather, which was trimmer and which seemed more absorbant or more BF-poo-containing, or softer and more flexible? I think as long as the shedding stops after they are sewn, I'm not too bothered by that (I'll remember that and dress accordingly though!). It was probably the french terry. I don't have a serger ... still tempted to buy one, but not sure I can justify it. I keep coming up with small projects that one would be useful, but can't yet justify the expense!
I had a good need for breast pads last time - constantly for the first 6 months. At that price, I think it's worth a try!
Get a serger! Its so much faster and I prefer the serged edges to turn&topstitch for diapers because the fabric of the elastic casing lies flatter. Once you have the serger, you'll be using it much more than you think now because its faster than a sewing machine and feeds better. Not to mention the stretchier seems for jersey and lycra.
Oh,and back to Wazoodle - yes the terry sheds bits, but stop if shaken out or once finished & washed. And the kits contain very generous amounts of elastic, snaps (or velcro) - I had plenty left over.
zorb is like a sponge. It soaks up the pee fast, but doesn't hold it. If they sit down it all squeezes out.
The large initial uptake capability of Zorb can trick novice designers. Absorbtion has 2 factors, the speed of absorbtion and the capacity, it's not uncommon for diaper makers to under design for capacity when using rapid absorbers.
Diapers need very fast absorbtion, Zorb does this better than any other material. They also need to retain that moisture, Zorb also does this better too. What can be confusing is that Zorb can instantly uptake 10x it's weight in moisture but it can only hold 5x it's weight under pressure (2000ml/m2). It's common for new designers to base their designs on the initial absorbtion, not the retaining ability and therefor under spec soakers.
I LOVE Zorb. I also love their new Zorb II. It absorbs and you don't have to worry about sandwhiching the fabric. I make trifolds. THis is the easiest way to get your three layers..you wash and dry only one layer. Just make sure your serger blade is in good shape.

Hi, I was wondering if anybody could help me to solve a pause problem on my site www.layersinmotion.com
Basically, when you click on the video or the pause button on the Jwplayer controller now, this sends you to another set-up where you can share the video.
I would like it to just freeze the image and nothing else when clicking on the video or the pause button.
Anybody know how to solve this? would be greatly appreciated !
This worked like a charm Thank you so much for the help Taaz !
In the middle on the right-hand side on my first page on my site www.layersinmotion.com , I have put a widget that will display "social tabs" if you click on it. Anybody know how to change the code, so my widget would be visible as default instead of hidden???
My theme is "Black Label"
I have enabled background video on my page www.layersinmotion.com I am happy with it, but I would just like to make a minor adjustment.
I have added a Social Widget on the Home Page, but it is by default "hidden" on the right side. You have to click the small arrow for it to appear. Same procedure to hide it again,.
I would like it to be shown by default when you enter the site.
Anybody know how I could make this happen?
Best Regards,
// Marius

Year: 1999
Director(s): Barry Blaustein
Synopsis: Three pro wrestlers deal with the dangers of their profession and the toll it has taken on their families and personal lives.
Watch the Trailer
While most of us loved pro wrestling during at least one point in our lives, we never knew how much went on behind the scenes to provide entertainment. This doc is so raw and real that Vince McMahon himself refused to promote the film when it was released. The moves might be fake but the pain, sacrifice, and betrayal is all too real. Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler is only half the story...

Fundraising Thermometer
November 15, 2007 is the National Philanthropy Day – a day to recognize the many individuals and organizations who give so much year after year to help make our world a better place to live.
I'll be surprised if your nonprofit organization does not already have an event or recognition campaign planned on or around November 15. Here are some general ideas just in case:
Major donors (individuals and businesses)
The festival "gives you a great reason to call your main donors. I mean a personal phone call from a member of the Board, Chief Executive, Director of Development or someone else in a very important leadership position within your organization.
Just call each of the major donors and share something very simple and brief. For example:
Good morning, Mr. Johnson [and if you are on a first name basis then by all means, use the name]. This is [specify] calling from [name of organization].
Today is the National Philanthropy Day, so I wanted to call and thank you all for your support over the past year. Each of us here at [name value] organization for your generous support greatly. Thank you very much!
I a question for you, if I can. Is there something you'd like to do differently? In other words, are you receiving all the information about us that you want, whenever you want, and in what form you want? Anything you'd rather have done a little differently?
After you ask this question, sit and wait. Do not say anything. Relax and give your main funder an opportunity to reflect and take their time answer.
How to answer the question, they may naturally give rise to a little more conversation. Just do not drag the call. And remember, you're chatting with a dear friend.
Depending on how many you have, it may not be practical for someone in your organization to call and say "thank you for your service." So maybe a simple thank you card sent by mail, or e-mail.
Non-Major Donors
It is now time to use these e-mail that you have been the collection and add it to your database throughout the year. Send a short note of thanks to many "ordinary" donors money as possible.
Important: Take the time to withdraw your principal donors of this email campaign. You contacted them by phone – and major donors deserve a bit of red carpet treatment staff – do not send them an e-mail mailing mass.
And as you do with your major donors by phone, you can also ask your regular donors if is something different they would like to see you.
My recommendation is to enjoy the National Philanthropy Day. Recognize people responsible for your nonprofit organization funded and operational throughout the year. Again, a very brief announcement at the sole Please share your end sincerely, and whether you're on target with all your other communications.

United Blood Services of Las Vegas
Blood drive at MaximuM Comics
Find the hero in you! Volunteer blood donors are needed in Las Vegas year-round. All donors will receive two free admissions to "Evil Dead the Musical" at Planet Hollywood's V Theater.
As Southern Nevada's community blood provider, United Blood Services relies on blood donations to make sure blood is available for anyone who needs it. UBS currently has a need for O negative and B positive blood.
Donors are encouraged to make an appointment and can do so by calling 877-827-4376 or by visiting www.unitedbloodservices.org/LV. Donors can also visit www.unitedbloodservices.org/HealthHistory.html to complete an online health history questionnaire prior to visiting any UBS blood drive. This questionnaire often saves time for donors, as it provides UBS with valuable information that is typically gathered during the in-person interview process at mobile blood drives and donation centers. The questionnaire must be completed on the same day as the blood donation.
UBS is always interested in creating partnerships for new blood drive sponsors in our community. To learn more about organizing a mobile blood drive, please call (702)304-6457.
