- How to Read a Study Record
Complete response is a rare event in metastatic anal cancer in the case of unresectable recurrence after radiochemotherapy.
In the University Hospital Center of Besançon, 8 patients with metastatic anal cancer were treated between 2005 and 2008 by 6 cycles of chemotherapy including taxane: DCF (Docetaxel, Cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil.
In more than 90% of cases, anal cancers are related to Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection, that is the case of this patients for which HPV16 (human papillomavirus type 16) genotype was identified within the tumor samples.
The hypothesis is that an anti-HPV response immune could be generated by chemotherapy with DCF and contributed to the elimination of the tumour cells and to the increase of complete responses. The aim to this study is to analyze immune response against HPV in this patients in complete response.

Introducing The Schlabst Grilled Cheese
I would never consider myself a foodie but when I saw an opportunity to create my own grilled cheese and enter it into The DudeFoods Ultimate Grilled Cheese Contest I jumped at the chance.
Using my love of beer I came up with the Schlabst Grilled Cheese. Consisting of Pabst Grilled Cheese and Schlitz Cheese Soup. I baked beer cheese bread with Pabst and made the beer cheese soup with Schiltz; washing it down with a Schlabst (Milwaukee's Black & Tan).
Pabst Cheese Bread
Pabst beer, dill, Sargento Sharp Cheddar. I didn't have the proper bread pan so the bread came out rather skinny but that actually worked out in my favor and made great for dipping. Pictured: the bread cooling.
Schlitz Cheese Soup
Schlitz beer, Sargento Sharp Cheddar, an 8 year aged cheddar, carrots, celery, onion, dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, hot sauce, butter, half & half, and various spices. Pictured: beer mix before cheese is added.
Schlabst Grilled Cheese
Pabst Cheese Bread, cheddar, pepper jack cheeses and butter lots of butter. The bread was a touch fragile but still made for great grilled cheeses.
Schlabst Beer
A true Schlabst is a Schlitz "Tall Boy" and a 16oz Pabst. Pour in a pint glass (or larger) with the Schlitz being on the bottom. Available at Leff's Lucky Town.
Dip, Eat, Sip, Repeat
What goes best with grilled cheese, tomato soup? I say more cheese & beer! I take the finger-style grilled cheese and dip it into the beer cheese soup. The bread maintains its crunchy deliciousness and the cheese its gooey scrumptiousness. Think about the cheese & beer party happening in my mouth -- my taste buds are riding unicorns. In comes a splash of Schlabst and my taste buds riding unicorns are sliding down a rainbow of delicious. The more I dip the more the vegetables come visible and make for a great dessert.

Moscow (AFP) Nov 28, 2005
Russian environment ministry experts have given the green light for the building of an oil pipeline linking Siberia with the Pacific Ocean, the Itar-Tass news agency reported Monday.
The proposed route of the pipeline, which will run along the shores of Lake Baikal, the world's deepest lake, to an unspoiled bay, has raised fears among environmentalists.
The plans, put forward by the Russian Transneft company, are to be examined by the federal ecological, technical and atomic supervision service, which should report its findings next month.
In September the deputy head of the state ecological control agency, part of the environment ministry, said the project threatened the world's biggest fresh water reserve and should be reexamined.
"The environment ministry and the Transneft oil company should talk about it soon," said Oleg Mitvol, adding that he was "very worried" about the future of Lake Baikal, classified by UNESCO in 1996 as a World Heritage Site.
The plan was attacked by environmentalists in Moscow earlier this month. The pipeline, some 4,200 kilometres (2,600 miles) long, will "pass in some places within less than a kilometre of Lake Baikal" in Siberia, according to Mikhail Kreindlin of Greenpeace.
Transneft said in July that work on the pipeline should begin in December.
The pipeline will run from Taishet in Siberia's Irkutsk region to Perevoznaya in the Pacific, with 44 oil-pumping stations in between, and could transport up to 80 million tonnes a year for shipments to China, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and Australia.
The project is estimated to cost 15 billion dollars, although some analysts have forecast a price of 16 billion dollars and possibly more.

A CHARITY which promotes recycling in Wales is the subject of separate investigations by the Charity Commission and the Welsh Government.
The Charity Commission confirmed it is carrying out a probe into registered charity Cylch – the Wales Community Recycling Network – after receiving concerns about loss of charity funding and whether conflicts of interest were properly managed.
The Welsh Government, which is the core funder of the charity, has confirmed its internal audit team is also conducting an investigation.
Cardiff-based Cylch was set up in 2001. It is an umbrella body representing community groups and social enterprises.
It provides information, advice and support to existing and emerging community reuse, recycling, composting and reprocessing organisations across Wales.
It has about 100 members that carry out activities that range from furniture repair and sale to making products from recycled materials. Its members employ more than 600 staff.
In a statement the Charity Commission said: "We have received concerns about the charity. These concerns are linked to the loss of charity funds and whether conflicts of interest were properly managed when making decisions for the charity.
"We have examined the accounts and are in contact with the charity to discuss these matters. We are also in contact with the Welsh Government, as the charity's main funder."
It has also been confirmed that Cylch's long-term chief executive Mal Williams has resigned. Richard Thomas has taken up the role as the charity's acting chief executive.
Cylch said it would not comment until after the investigations were completed.

Union members voted 6 - 1 in favour of an Acas-brokered deal, that shift bonus rates for blue and white collar workers should be equalised by October 2006.
Officials from the main unions involved, the GMB and Amicus, have welcomed the result, which they say vindicated their tough stance.
Workers walked out for the first time in almost 30 years at the end of last year in a row over the pay gap between white collar workers and manual staff.
Strike action was called off after an agreement between the unions and British Nuclear Fuels Limited (BNFL) at the conciliation service Acas.
'Important challenges'
Workers were balloted on whether to accept the new pay deal aimed at ending the long running dispute.
Union shop stewards at the site, owned by BNFL recommended acceptance of the improved offer.
In a statement, BNFL said: "Sellafield management is obviously pleased at the outcome of the ballot that means that we can put the last few difficult months behind us.
"The coming months present some important challenges for everyone on the site as we prepare for the formation of the Nuclear Decommissioning Agency, and continue our push to make ourselves their contractor of choice at Sellafield.
"The most important thing now is for both management and workforce to work together on the key priorities of site remediation and delivering on our customer's contracts."

Gary King on Tax Reform
The ad is kind of comical though. It's got light-hearted music and at one point, King ("the King") can be heard chuckling. It sounds like an actual recording of the King's laugh. And yes, the Democratic candidate is shown in a crown. Here's the transcript:
Gary King voted for the largest tax increase in history. Made working families pay more. Higher taxes on food, medicine and gas. The tax hike hit struggling families the hardest.
But Gary King took good care of himself. King repeatedly voted to raise his own pay and voted to sweeten his own taxpayer retirement.
Gary King: Higher taxes for us. Sweet perks for the King.

Identity theft on increase, local police say
GARDENDALE, Jan 24, 2013 (The North Jefferson News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- It is not a matter of whether one's identity will be stolen, but when.
That is according to Det. Chris Clark of the Gardendale Police Department, who gave a class on identity theft Tuesday at First Baptist Church of Mt. Olive -- something he does often in the area.
Members of the audience seemed shocked to learn how easy it is for less-than-honest people to steal their identities, and thus, access to their bank and credit card accounts.
Clark gave examples of identity theft victims in Gardendale, including a stranger who opened a business in a local man's name, attempts to open credit cards in peoples' names, and one person who had two individuals in other states living under her identity.
"They're doing it, and we're working it," Clark said. "These reports come in daily to me, all with a different story. We're doing these talks because a lot of this can be avoided." One of the most common scams is phishing, where an unscrupulous person or organization uses email in an attempt to acquire money or information such as passwords, user names or credit card information by pretending to be a trustworthy entity such as a bank.
"There's a billion dollar business in this kind of fraud," Clark said. "A lot of it is going overseas and there's nothing we can do." Clark said to never give personal or account information in response to an email. He said banks and most reputable companies do not send emails asking individuals to update or verify their accounts.
Crooks also use the telephone to contact potential victims. The bad guys might ask for charitable donations that go right to their own pockets. They also might say the victim has won a prize or a contest that requires a processing fee, but the individual who pays the fee never receives their prize.
Again, Clark says to just hang up the phone in these cases.
"Anything that sounds too good to be true on a phone call, probably is," he said.
While individuals can take steps to lessen their chance of becoming victims of identity theft, there are other scams that are more difficult to avoid.
One of the most common -- and one that has hit north Jefferson County hard recently -- is skimming. This is where a small device, a skimmer, is placed onto gas pumps, ATMs, at cash registers or other locations. The skimmer records the card's information when the owner swipes or inserts the card.
"As soon as they've got that information, they can make a card with their name on it -- and your information," Clark said. So the money comes out of the victim's bank account or credit card account.
"This is happening daily in Gardendale," Clark said. A retail store in the city had a skimmer at one of its cash registers that recently took information from thousands of cards before it was detected. It was there for more than a month, he said.
One bank alone reported $165,000 stolen through the operation in one afternoon.
The information from the cards was sent to California, where crooks manufactured credit and debit cards that were used throughout California and Las Vegas.
That case is still under investigation, but Clark said it is very difficult to investigate and convict people of skimming because it is almost impossible to know where skimmers are and who placed them.
Skimmers are difficult to detect, as they often look just like the device onto which they are illegally placed.
There are also hand-held skimmers that are often used by restaurant servers. Clark said that when the server carries away the credit or debit card in order to scan it, they simply swipe the card through a hand-held skimmer and steal the information from it.
Skimmers are legal to purchase, and can easily bought online at a fairly cheap price.
Clark's advice to avoid having credit or debit card information skimmed is simple: Ask the server if you can walk with him or her to the machine where the card will be swiped; do not let it leave your sight.
As for avoiding becoming a skimming victim at the gas pump, Clark said people can get a low-limit gas card and use only that card at the pump. That way, if the information is skimmed, the individual's bank account will not be wiped out. He said there are also more legal protections with credit cards than with debit cards.
"If something looks off at a gas pump or ATM -- if the cover is loose or looks like it has been tampered with -- don't use your card there," Clark said.
Another alternative at gas stations, restaurants and retail outlets is to simply use cash.
"It's not a matter of 'if' your identity will be stolen," he said, "but when, and how severe." ___ (c)2013 The North Jefferson News (Gardendale, Ala.) Visit The North Jefferson News (Gardendale, Ala.) at www.njeffersonnews.com Distributed by MCT Information Services

The Difference Between Absolute and Relative Returns
LARRY ZIMPLEMAN: In my 40+ years in this business, I think the biggest thing investors overlook when analyzing fund returns is that they think about the absolute return of their funds without thinking about the relative return of their funds (i.e. how did their fund perform compared to how it should have performed?).
An example can help. Say you own a small-cap stock fund. In general, small-cap funds will tend to have greater volatility in returns than large-cap equity funds. You may have a year with a negative 20% return and be very disappointed. But if you look at the universe of small-cap funds and find that the overall small-cap universe had a negative 25% return for that period, your fund actually outperformed its universe (or it outperformed on a relative basis). I also find that in very good years, investors seem quite content with their nice returns–even if their funds had a lower return than the universe with which it should be compared.
So it's important that you always try to analyze returns against a comparable universe for that same time period. Ideally, you would do that comparison over an entire market cycle–which can be eight, 10 or more years. Don't be too quick to form opinions on fund performance. Today, we see turnover of retail mutual funds of approximately 20%-25%, which means investors aren't giving their funds the chance to be invested over the entire market cycle.
Larry D. Zimpleman is chairman, president and chief executive of Principal Financial Group.

Nothing really important requires python (though a lot of packages indeed requires it, including some that I wouldn't have thought they required it, like tex vim-enhanced, subversion), while the libc and ncurse are essential (required by bash for instance) so it is perfectly right to code basic tasks in C and avoid python. -- Pat

The School of Environmental Design and Rural Development brings together major academic fields concerned with creating strong communities, in Canada and around the world. The four highly respected units that have come together to form SEDRD share many common goals but approach them in different and complementary ways. This model reflects the imperatives in building authentic communities where planners, leaders, communicators, landscape architects, the citizens and politicians all play important interdependent roles in community strength.
Research conducted within the School of Environmental Design and Rural Development reflects the diversity of our programs and the diversity of our faculty and students. Research spans the Canadian and International context and makes important contributions to society and our respective professions focused on Landscape Architecture, Rural Planning and Development, Capacity Development and Extension and Rural Studies. It is often focused at the community level - rural and urban, and tends to be very practical in its application.
For students, staff and faculty who call SEDRD "home", I believe we all think of it as our community. It is evident in the interactions between faculty and students, in the collegiality amongst students, in the friendly and helpful approach of staff and in the positive environment that we try to create within studio or within the classroom.
So, whether you are visiting this website as SEDRD alumni, as a community member seeking information or a prospective student looking into one of our programs, let me say welcome to our community.

Rachel McAdams: Morning Glory Gal
Posted Monday July 13, 2009 5:23 PM GMT
She always has a project in the works, it seems, and yesterday (July 12) Rachel McAdams was spotted on the set of her new film "Morning Glory."
The "Wedding Crashers" cutie looked a bit frantic as she made her way around the New York City lot, at times running, while filming scenes.
And of course, Miss McAdams was looking beautiful and radiant, sporting a beige dress with a cream colored cardigan and muted pink heels.
In "Morning Glory" Rachel plays a hot-shot producer named Becky Fuller who is looking to revive a failing morning show.
Enjoy the pictures of Rachel McAdams on the set of "Morning Glory" (July 12).

Tyler is recovering from his latest Deep Brain Surgery. There seems to be no complications from the surgery. His hair is growing out like crazy already. He is still having a problem with gaining weight and works very hard to get as many calories as possible each day. His weight remains one of our top concerns. His surgery has not shown the benefits he was hoping for yet. It is early and things could change drastically over time but for now he is having a harder time with the left side of his body. He had to turn off one of the electrodes that we know was giving him some benefit. His pronunciation of words seems better although very light and low. We can understand his speach a little more than before this surgery. Tyler starts rehab this week on his left side. He is also taking a Math camp where he is getting a jump start on next years math. He said it isnt that bad, they have some fun and he is learning a lot. I am taking him and a friend camping this weekend and fishing. I look forward to it.
Samantha continues to impress us and her physical therapist with her efforts to stretch and work on walking. She is able to walk from one furniture piece to the next right now and with her determination I am sure she will be walking on her own in the near future.
Luke is in golf/swim camp this week. He got a set of golf clubs and I thought he was going to sleep with them the first night. He has been playing hard and comes home worn out. He likes to hit the ball a long ways more than putting.
Dont forget our biggest fund raiser is August 11th-13th so please contact us if you want to be involved or donate an auction item.
Tyler has been keeping busy on his baseball team and recently went to the Harlem Gloabtrotters(sp?). He has babysat for Luke and Samantha on a few occassions in order to make some money and give Michelle and I some time together.
Samantha was "wildcat of the week" at her school last week. Her dystonia still makes her very uncomfortable and now we are looking at an additional surgery. We went ahead and blocked out the time for June in case she decides to do the surgery.
Luke is feeling a little under the weather but he seems to bounce back quickly. Luke is very active playing basketball in the driveway and starts soccer soon. He and his buddy Colin have been practicing soccer. Luke learned how to ride his bycycle this weekend without his training wheels. Now he needs to learn stopping and starting on the bike.

Delaware History
The following important events in the history of Delaware affected political jurisdictions, family movements, and record keeping.
1638: Swedes began settling in the Delaware area.
1655: The area was conquered by the Dutch.
1664: Delaware became a British colony.
1682-1776: Pennsylvania's governor controlled much of Delaware, although Delaware had its own provincial assembly after 1703.
1684-1736: The colonial government of Maryland laid claim to southern and western Delaware.
1776: Delaware declared its independence from Britain and established a government separate from that of Pennsylvania.
1787: (December 7,) Delaware became the first state.
1861-1865: During the Civil War, Delaware was a Union state.
One of the best sources for studying Delaware history is:
Scharf, John Thomas. History of Delaware, 1609-1888. Two volumes. Tucson, Arizona: W. C. Cox, 1974. (Family History Library film 1000154.) An excellent, detailed history with names, dates, and places.

This is one of the best live albums that I've heard. This album has the and best live material Sabbath has ever put out. The 17 minuet wicked world that encompasses bits and pieces of other later Sabbath tracks is just stellar. Other high points of this album are the 1975 recordings of "sabotage" material. Personally I much prefer the first disc to the second despite the live sabotage material.
Iommi's solos are incredible on this album and hearing a young Ozzy belt the most classic of Sabbath tracks is a thing to be heard.
The iron man, behind the wall of sleep and black sabbath recordings are unimpressive due to the lack of sound quality but still pretty good.
One thing I would have liked to see included in this album is the drum solo on "rat salad" that was absent on the "Hand of doom/rat salad" track.
Overall this album is amazing and I suggest it over the "reunion tour" album if you are looking for live Sabbath material.
Truly Sabbath at their best.

As I said in my Happiness Video I am usually quite adverse to material possessions. However, I have my exceptions.
I have fallen in love with the Polar FT40 Heart Rate Monitor. I haven't engaged in a single physical activity without wearing it since I received it before Christmas and if anything were to happen to mine I'd cry and run out and replace it immediately.
Check out my Video Review on how easy it is to use and what I love so much about it:
As I mention in the video there is a huge difference in the amount of calories burned depending on what type of activity I'm doing. For those of you who have done the Banish Fat Boost Metabolism DVD you know what an absolute killer it is. I was pretty surprised that I didn't even break 300 calories in almost an hour of working out but look at that even split of calories burned from fat burn and fitness (cardio). Zero equipment used and I got my strength and cardio workout in at once!
For running - the Polar helped me see that RunKeeper's calories burned were significantly lower than what I was actually burning!
I try not to get to hung up on calories burned/consumed. However, it is important to me to have a rough idea of how much I'm burning to make sure I'm eating the right amount. Ever since I started using the Polar I eat a bit more on long run days and slightly less than I was on strength days.
The monitor is SO easy to use (I can be a total dunce figuring out gadgets) and I had it out of the box and ready to workout in 2 minutes. It has absolutely motivated me to workout harder in my routines so I can keep my heart rate up and it's also given me a new enthusiasm for doing all of my home DVD's (which I was getting pretty bored with) since I can now see how much I was burning with each one!
I know many of you are working toward Health related goals for the New Years and I can't think of a better treat for yourself to help keep you motivated than the Polar monitor.
Do you use a Heart Rate monitor? Would you like to?
What are some other high intensity cardio workouts I should try aside from running?
Disclaimer: I was provided the Polar FT40 through Fitfluential LLC in exchange for my honest review.
I really do love it as much as I say so.

Comments about Pimsleur Dari Persian Level 1 Lessons 21-25 MP3:
Pros -
Recall words, phrases and responses with ease due to the repetative nature.
Active learning is required for faster comprehension - pause and consider response.
Word translations are explained so that connections can be made with other words.
MP3 can be added to mobile or transportable device and used anywhere - while walking, craftwork or during dishes.
New words are repeated for several lessons and also further on in the units so that comprehension is more likely.
Success is felt as full sentences are understood at the beginning of every lesson.
The pace of learning ensures you are not bored and always challenged with new words.
Native speakers with different ways of pronouncing words in a non-formal way provided.
Cons -
Time consuming to find 30 minutes of quiet time every day.
More emphasis on written language would be great to enable reading text and learning that way also.
It would benefit me greatly if I could read (visual input) the text that is being read by the speakers as I would be able to distinguish between similar words quicker and with more assurance. At the moment, I am writing the text down so that I can grasp it better.
Additional vocabulary resources would be great for extending conversational abilities.

COMING SOON - THE New Season 2017-2018
The site needs to go through an archiving and new season creation process over the next month or two, please bear with us til that completes...!
And a review of the 2016-2017 season will appear here shortly...!
Another great season for the club in 2015-2016, read the Review of Season 2015-2016 here
Established in 1975, Crosspool Juniors Football Club (CJFC) has been promoting football across all junior age groups for the past 40 years. It is a well-respected community based club involved in both boys and girls football in the west of Sheffield.
The club has achieved Charter Standard status and is currently in the process of applying for Charter Standard Development club status. The FA Charter Standard recognises high standards in club and league football for those clubs able to provide excellent standards of child safety and protection. The club must have a trained Welfare Officer in place, ensure coaches are educated to FA Level 1 for each team, sign up to the FA Respect Programme and have appropriate club administration in place
CJFC believe football should be accessible and affordable to all, regardless of ability or background. We see football as part of the community, offering an established pathway to sporting skills and benefits to all our young participants. We are looking to have 6 girls teams and 16 boys teams for the 2016/17 season with plans to expand participation in the next few years for both genders. We have successfully applied for two FA Grow the Game grants which have been used to fund the growth of the club within the last few years. We are committed to expanding as a club and offering opportunities to enjoy the game of football to more young participants including a disability team in the future.
We encourage involvement from local community groups, schools and parents within the guidelines and parameters set by the FA Respect programme.

RALEIGH, NC (October 2007) — Water is one of the foundations on which full-line vending and office coffee service were built. The need for effective water treatment to prepare the beverages dispensed by coffee and postmix cold-drink vending machines offered an important incentive to the development of modern in-line water filtration and demineralizing technology, and the outcome was today's reliable cartridge-based systems.
While operators long regarded water treatment as a necessary expense to assure beverage quality and protect equipment, the rise in concern over municipal water quality that began locally almost four decades ago inspired a few pioneering operators to recognize the market value of their water purification equipment. In the Washington, DC, market, the early 1970s were marked by newspaper publicity about asbestos fibers in the Potomac River. That led several of those operators to offer their locations in-line filters on a rental basis, often using the newspaper clippings as the basis for their sales materials.
Over the ensuing decades, negative publicity about cryptosporidium and giardia cysts contaminating municipal water supplies in the Midwest offered similar opportunities for alert operators to solve a problem for customers while creating a new profit center, increasing coffee consumption and reducing their equipment maintenance costs.
Public concern over the nation's apparently declining supplies of potable water also prompted the swift growth of small-package bottled water as a cold-drink option, which continues today.
Although most vending and coffee service operators were content to leave the water business to specialist distributors of bulk bottled water, some of those bottler/distributors had been among the first route service organizations to offer coffee service. In view of this overlap, it was logical for some coffee service operations to expand into bottled-water distribution.
As enthusiasm for higher-quality drinking water continued to grow and the economics of route distribution began to change, "point-of-use" water treatment emerged as a distinct workplace service. Customers eager to single-source their professional breaktime management began to move vending, coffee service and pure water toward "total refreshment service."
This trend was accelerated by the decline in heavy-industrial locations that became pronounced as the last century drew to a close. Locations staffed by well-compensated workforces and requiring round-the-clock service proliferated, but their populations were small by traditional full-line vending standards. Operating companies increasingly began to offer combinations of OCS, vending and water service – increasingly, point-of-use treatment systems rather than 3-, 5- or 6-gallon bottles – in order to maximize revenue and streamline equipment expense.
One operator who has participated in this historic development is Jerry Allen of Carolina Vending, a full-line vending, coffee service and pure-water company serving North Carolina's Raleigh-Durham "Triangle" market since 1979.
Allen got his start with a bottled-water operation a decade ago. Employed as a salesman for a chemical company, he found that the onset of arthritis made it difficult for him to carry the heavy sample-cases on sales calls. He thus set out to find a sales position that did not require heavy lifting. Water seemed to be a growing product in an underserved market, so he took a position with a firm whose primary business was the rental of coolers and sale of 5-gallon bottled water.
"The company advertised that we had point-of-use treatment systems as an option, but all salespeople were told not to put any emphasis on that part of the business," Allen recalled. "There were two reasons for that. Obviously, bottled-water companies make much more money on 5-gallon bottle sales, and we didn't have anybody who had much experience installing the point-of-use equipment.
"I took note of the fact that we were losing accounts to POU companies, and it didn't seem to generate any concern," he said. "So I made a decision to investigate the point-of-use systems." This led him to join an enterprise whose only business was placing point-of-use water treatment systems. Recognizing the greater potential of selling water as one component of a full-spectrum workplace service program, Allen joined Carolina Vending three years ago.
This was a good move, he reported. "Vending companies, especially those that have already seen the benefit of adding OCS, are in the absolutely perfect position to capitalize on the demand for point-of-use water treatment," the water sales expert said.
For operators who recognize the logic of adding point-of-use water treatment to their service menu, choosing the equipment is a good place to start. What's wanted is a reliable line that meets the established standards for commercial water purification. The two requirements here are Underwriters Laboratories listing (indicated by the familiar "UL" symbol) and NSF (formerly National Sanitation Foundation) certification of the filtration media, he said.
Beyond those essentials, he recommends that dispensers containing both hot and cold tanks be fitted with a separate switch for each, and that all the water tanks be made of stainless steel.
When speaking with manufacturers, sales personnel about a point-of-use treatment system, it's important to get as much information as possible, Allen told VT. "If they mention equipment tested and certified by some university, ask for the data, and when the testing was performed. If they can't provide you with that information on the spot, you're talking to the wrong people."
Existing accounts are obvious prospects for the new add-on service, especially the ones that already have bottled-water systems. "Because 5-gallon coolers have been out there for decades, they are – literally – not even noticed, most of the time," the industry veteran pointed out. For that reason, he suggests that vending and coffee service route delivery and service personnel be instructed to report the presence of a bottled water dispenser in any location they're serving and, if possible, the number of bottles stacked nearby. These reports can be used to compile a list of prospects.
The next step is to instruct a sales representative in the benefits of point-of-use water treatment, both as a source of higher-quality water for drinking and for preparing beverages and as a more convenient, efficient, economical and sanitary alternative to 5-gallon bottles. Once instructed, this individual can work down the prospect list and make the necessary sales calls.
It also is a good idea to publicize the availability of point-of-use water treatment systems by including notices in monthly bills. "This won't be seen as junk mail, and will probably generate more business than you might think," Allen added.
When developing the skills required to sell point-of-use water treatment systems, he said, it is a very good idea to give the salesperson or team a thorough grounding in water purification, as well as its virtues in comparison to bottled water.
This is important because competition is growing rapidly, the Carolina Vending executive reported. "The POU business is just beginning to flourish as a separate entity," he said. "There are companies that lease POU equipment as their only source of income, so their salespeople have tremendous pressure to produce – usually resulting in a large turnover of employees.
"This is to our advantage," Allen emphasized. "Most of us have been servicing clients for years, and they already know and trust us. If the other POU person gets to the decision-maker first, however, he will go with them – simply because he doesn't know that you offer this kind of system, and hasn't been educated properly."
Even if this has happened, all is not lost if the operator is prepared to provide better information. "There are POU companies out there that love to promote ultraviolet irradiation as the only way to properly treat your drinking water," the industry veteran instanced. "They will present literature claiming that, because of UV, there will be no HPC (heterotrophic plate count) bacteria; that it will eliminate virtually every virus known to man; and that it does away with the risk of cyst contamination."
In fact, while there's certainly no reason not to provide an ultraviolet treatment stage if the client really wants one, it is seldom necessary for purifying water from municipal mains. Viruses and heterotrophic bacteria that may be found in municipal water almost always are harmless – they occur in the air we breathe – and effective particle filtration not only removes cysts, but also screens out suspended solids (turbidity) that affect the appearance, and often the taste, of the water.
"There is no risk of cyst contamination with a 1-micron or smaller particle filter," Allen said. "We use 5-micron filtration at entry and carbon 0.5-micron filtration as the final stage before tank storage." The carbon absorbs chlorine, which municipalities add to water to kill pathogens (like viruses and heterotrophic bacteria). It does a very effective job, but imparts an unpleasant taste and odor, which the carbon filter removes. Ultraviolet irradiation does nothing whatever to chemicals like chlorine, and nothing to particles except kill any that happen to be alive.
Dangerous microorganisms that form cysts include the protozoans giardia lamblia, whose cysts are seven microns or more in diameter, and cryptosporidium, which forms "oocysts" that typically are at least four microns in diameter. These are the two most-common pathogenic organisms that, when encysted, can resist the toxic effect of chlorine. Both are removed by a microparticle filter with pores one micron in diameter or smaller.
Allen added that a hot-water tank holding its contents at 175°F. or higher also will kill just about any pathogen that survives municipal chlorination, sedimentation and filtration as well as the microparticle filter. Commercial equipment typically maintains a hot-water temperature around 185°F.
"I've seen equipment out there that really promotes 'in-tank sanitation' (ITS)," he observed. "Maybe it's just me, but I can't figure out how you can sanitize something that your filtration media have already eliminated."
Carolina Vending offers multifiltration systems, and can provide both floor (console) and countertop units. "We do offer in-line ultraviolet treatment, for those people who already have been contacted by POU-only companies that really push the UV component of their systems," Allen summed up. "That's fairly standard with any business that's serious about providing clients with as many options as possible."
Carolina Vending plans to establish separate vending and office coffee/POU water treatment divisions in the foreseeable future. Allen believes that this approach will give rise to greater diversity in installation and service, and thus generate more volume. "And that's what business should be about, in my opinion," he concluded.

Lose weight fast on Phentermine? Phentermine Phentermine alone won't cause patients to lose weight naturally and rid of it in the lon run. Instead, Phentermine will be included in an appetite suppressant plan exercised in coordination with a physician which includes alterations in diet along with exercise. The part of Phentermine in the eating and working out plan is to reduce appetite to learn effectively for patients to check out a diet eating and working out regimen. The dietary plan and exercise part of a diet plan's particularly significant because Phentermine is merely licensed by the FDA to be prescribed to patients for periods of lower than twelve weeks. In case a patient were to make an effort to take Phentermine much more time than this they might likely create a tolerance to Phentermine, which could decrease its weight-loss promoting effects. Phentermine Dosage Whenever a patient is prescribed Phentermine, their daily routine is dependent upon whether or not they think about one dose of Phentermine each day or three doses in the daytime before mealtime. Should they be choosing a single dose each morning, their regimen begins in the morning after they consider the medication. Their physician will typically instruct them to get it either before they eat breakfast or between 1 and 2 hours after they have breakfast. Phentermine is usually taken in the morning because it is a stimulant, and taking it late from the day risks which makes it tough to get to sleep. In case a patient is taken Phentermine before each meal then a daily dose is split up into three doses. Exactly how Phentermine might be taken is dependent upon whether it be instant release or extended release. Extended release capsules mustn't be broken or crushed because this interferes with the extended release mechanism which enable it to result in the patient to have your entire dose immediately. Phentermine Without Prescription Imagine if I miss phentermine dose?
In case a patient misses a dose of Phentermine they ought to make it up when they remember they missed a dosage unless it is almost here we are at another dose. Patients have to be careful to prevent having a double dose of Phentermine to produce up to get a missed dose because this might cause side effects. Phentermine Without Prescription Do I need to eating and working out while taking Phentermine?
So that you can benefit fully from taking Phentermine, patients should adhere to a eating and working out regiment. Taking Phentermine in this kind of weightloss routine makes it easier for the patient to get through the early phase of alterations in their dietary plan, as their reduced calorie intake will not cause them to become feel as hungry. Phentermine is another stimulant and thus will give patients more energy if they are exercising. Phentermine Withdrawal Symptoms When the patient's Phentermine regimen is done they should wean from the medication in order that they usually do not experience Phentermine withdrawal symptoms. These withdrawal symptoms can be unpleasant and will include cravings and also indigestion as well as other gastrointestinal problems.

We spoke to Nicholas Strouse, LCSW, of Westport Family Counseling to get tips on handling tween's embarrassment of dressing up for Halloween, talking to your tween or teen about their inappropriate costume, and how to handle your teens mischievous Halloween behavior and pulling pranks on others.
What should I do if I think my 12-year-old wants to dress up for Halloween, but is afraid or embarrassed of what her peers might think?
I think there are a couple of answers, and it depends on how that 12-year-old socializes, what types of friends she has, and if she is part of any groups already. The first solution is, if your child has friends that she would like to trick-or-treat with, allow her to invite them over and go out with you, let her go with a bunch of friends and one of their parents, or let her and her friends trick-or-treat ahead of you, meaning you know where the group is—they're two or three blocks ahead in the same neighborhood or at the friends house.
The second solution would be if your child does not have friends or there are other complications—they're feeling lonely, they don't want to be left out but they don't want to be embarrassed—you still have to validate their feelings and accommodate them. Have some kind of trick-or-treat activity at home that doesn't embarrass them. You really need to ask them how they feel and validate their feelings.
This is about life-stage development in a sense. When children reach 12 years old, they are often starting, or continuing, prominent individuation. They're separating from parents and they often feel embarrassed, sometimes even alienated, by their family. It's not that a parent, or the family, is doing something embarrassing. So getting embarrassed about how their parents behave or what costumes they're wearing, or what house the family is going to go to because it's a tradition is normal, and it is really important to validate your child's feelings. Therefore, I would accommodate the child.
How should I approach my child if I feel her costume is inappropriate?
This continues speaking to what I've been talking to you about, which is a life-stage development. But is also is very important to remain a parent and teach and regulate your child if she child is doing something unacceptable. Children sometimes feel as if they actually know what is acceptable because they live in a very closed world, a very self-centered world in a group of peers and these days through technology, even though they may know some people globally, it still feels like a closed community to them. She may feel she knows what is acceptable based on what's become popular on TV, the Internet, etc., but there are still a lot of values that need to be regulated for a long time with children and teens.
While teens are good at regulating some of their emotions, they often cannot foresee how doing something, breaking a boundary, might affect them later. So if you have a child dressing in a way that is too provocative or in a way that is making apolitical statement that you feel could provoke someone to action, or hurt someone by being too biased, bigoted, or fundamental in some way, you need to step in and say, "I'm sorry, that is not acceptable. I realize that my telling you that you may not do this may make you feel separate from the rest of the group that is doing it. I realize that you feel I may have ruined your Halloween or you hate me know, but later I really do believe you're going to understand that this could have affected you really badly. Not great things happen sometimes as a result of you just doing what you want to do, and even if you get away with it—meaning dressing provocatively doesn't get you undue attention—you're still taking risks which then open the gate to more risks later." It is important to stay involved in that way and help children and teens become responsible.
Now, just an addendum to that: It is also important to look at yourself as a parent. There are times when children will want to dress up in something you think is inappropriate or perhaps risky, but sometimes you think this way based on your family of origin upbringing. Sometimes that family of origin upbringing was close-minded or it was too strict or it was kind of a punitive environment where anything that strayed from a certain clean-cut mold was not acceptable. So you can sometimes react to a teenager or child with your own shame, as if the child was representing you, and part of your job as a parent is to look at what it is you're feeling and understand that you also have to let go. If you're not so sure as to whether the costume is too risqué or too provocative, you should talk to your own peers, your spouse, and even seek a counselor. It could actually benefit the parent-child relationship if a parent was able to get past something that other people objectively felt was really the parent's issue, not so much the child acting out. Again, it's very important to help validate the child, but also provide the right boundaries.
How should I handle if I suspect that my older teenager is out pulling pranks on other people, such as toilet-papering a house, egging cars, or painting graffiti?
Times have changed a lot. I suppose if you were asking someone 20-30 years ago, they might, off the record, say to you, "Let them alone. It's not a big deal. Its part of growing up, part of Halloween." There is actually a valid point to that. I'm not condoning those activities, but children at that age or even older feel mischievous and impulsive and excited. Special Halloween events, parades, and parties bring those energies out even more, so children and teenagers are more likely to be anything from playful to mischievous to sometimes causing trouble. However, that behavior is not something one can condone.
Stopping that behavior is not a life lesson at that moment—that if you don't step in, your child is going to go from toilet-papering a house to criminal activities in the next few years—but it is important to help him regulate those energies and understand that even though he feels like he is part of this fun peer group, he is affecting someone else in a not-so-fun way. That is important on a deeper level because while a child or teenager is separating from his family, he also still needs to be reminded of the values of the family and the community. That helps him keep a connection, so that when he finishes individuating, or finishes much of it, he can come back to that identity.
It is important to step in so he learns he can't act immorally or without care or concern and then that's it, there are no consequences. Parents can do that in many different ways, depending on what the child is doing. A parent could reprimand him saying, "I'm sorry. That's it. The evening is over. Come home," or it could be a consequence. If he has done something that is hurtful or upsetting to someone, he would need a consequence that is familiar to the family—meaning that if the family feels it's appropriate, make the child pay for the damage, make the child paint over graffiti, make the child do community service, or something of that nature. It's very important to provide a positive message as well. It's not that you don't love him anymore, not that you think he is going to become a criminal, but that he has hurt someone else's feelings and that is really not okay.

The definition of insanity is doing more of the same expecting different results.
ISIL and Iraq have been on the news recently. U.S. policy led to the rise of ISIL because of the U.S. training and arming the Syrian Islamic terrorists from camps in Jordan and Turkey. The U.S. gave millions for weapons and training to these same people who are now destabilizing Iraq. The same folks who were using U.S. taxpayer money to kill Christians (Armenians, Assyrians, Antiochian Greeks, etc.), Kurds and other innocent Muslims inside Syria. Photos and videos surfaced in social media of blown up churches and how priests and nuns were being kidnapped.
President Obama is requesting $500 million to give to Syrian rebels — aka Syrian Islamic terrorists or al-Qaida 2.0.
How about we stop meddling in other nations' internal affairs? Our roads need to be repaved in this U.S. How about we use $500 million for roads? I'm sick of driving on potholes! The U.S. Congress has the power of the purse, not the president. Call Congressman Jerry McNerney today to stop giving money to people who are killing innocent people in Syria and Iraq.
