I frequently get asked "How do I get my cat to eat meat chunks and raw meaty bones?" I'm glad to hear this question because it means people understand how important it is for a cat's dental health to do some chewing. It's also important for their psychological health. Imagine if you only ever got to eat soft foods. Cats evolved powerful jaws that can slice through meat, skin, tendons and bones, yet we have mostly taken away any opportunity for them to actually use their teeth. This can't be healthy physically or mentally.
Some of my cats dove right in to eating chunks and meaty bones. Others had to be, in essence, taught. In the wild, a mother cat would bring prey to her kittens to teach them these essential life skills. Kittens have the instinct to hunt, but aren't very skilled at actually putting those instincts into practice. All that kitten play behavior is a lot more serious than the word "play" suggests. It's not frivolous. It is life and death learning. Before humans came along, a kitten that didn't learn to kill didn't live very long.
It's not surprising that our indoor-raised cats are sometimes clueless when it comes to a piece of meat. They never got those early prey lessons. Oh, they are excellent at capturing catnip mice and crinkly balls, but their lessons never got to the real thing. So, don't expect your kitty to "get it" when it comes to meat.
I am going to tell you what I did to teach one of our cats. Stanley – she is a girl kitty, despite the name – has been a raw fed kitty for a long time, but she refused to eat meat chunks. Considering that she is the Feline Nutrition logo cat, I told her she was setting a bad example for raw fed kitties everywhere. I set out to educate her, since she missed out as a kitten. I know from the rescue group I got her and her sister from that she lost her mother early and had to be bottle fed. She has successfully caught errant mice that got into the house, but she never ate them. Good instincts, terrible follow through.
I knew she liked raw meats, as she ate her ground raw diet with gusto. But, presented with a chunk of meat, she would just sniff at it and not eat it. She seemed interested, but at a loss as to what to do. I decided to go slowly. First, I cut some raw chicken into tiny pieces. I mean really small, ¼" long and matchstick thick. I put these on a plate, expecting her to gobble them up. Nope, just sniff and stare. So, I picked up a piece and put it on my finger and offered it to her. She licked it off! Many cats will eat food that is hand-fed to them; something to keep in mind if you have a sick cat that won't eat. Remember, cats have poor close-up vision; she likely can't see the meat very well, so, be careful or you might get inadvertently bitten.
For the next few days, I kept guiding her with the meat on my finger to a plate and I would put the meat on it. At first, she wouldn't eat it, but after a few days she was nibbling the little pieces right off of the plate. Yes! Step one accomplished. I then slowly increased the size of the pieces. I still occasionally hand-fed her, but it was mostly from the plate. I also made sure to do this at meal time. Not having eaten for 12 hours made her pretty eager to eat. Pretty soon she was grabbing big chunks off the communal kitty dinner plate. All she'd needed was a patient teacher.
What about cuts with bone? That was the next step. I waited a few weeks to let her get in some serious gnawing and build up her jaw muscles a bit. I then got some chicken wings and my handy meat cleaver. I chopped the wing into small pieces. I then put these on a plate to test if she would eat them. She did lick at them, but didn't go for it. I started the hand feeding again and soon she was eating these morsels that had very small bone pieces. Slowly, over a few weeks, I increased the size of the pieces, and soon she was eating small ½" size pieces with the bone. Stanley will now tackle a whole wing. But…she doesn't always eat the bone.

Chew on This!
I wondered why. I finally figured out that she needed more time to develop jaw strength. Like any muscles, it takes some time and work to build up strength in jaw. She had gone from eating food that required pretty much no jaw strength at all, a ground diet, to trying to use her jaws to cut bone. That's a big jump. So, she continues to get foods that challenge her jaws. Gizzards have been added to the menu as they are chewier than other meats. I'll continue to give her wings because chewing through the skin and cartilage is good jaw exercise. She also gets dehydrated rabbit ears to chew on. I love to see her really using those side teeth. I'm looking forward to hearing the lovely crunching of bones from her!
Note: if you are using a meat cleaver, all of your four-footed friends must be confined, away from the kitchen. You need to swing a cleaver with some force to cut bone and it is just too dangerous to have any little paws anywhere near when you do so. Be safe!

Hello, these are the extra rules for Colonial World that were added after the initial start of the game.
1706 Extra Rules
1. Algorithm Update
- Since this game is called Colonial World, it is important for countries to make colonies. States should also add their number of colonies on the scores page. This is extremely important.
- So, in the future, your Colonial Score times 3 will be added to your total score.
2. Algo Update 2
- In the future, if we are doing an algo, please bear in mind that only the state with the highest score will be accounted in the algo.
- For example, if Spain and Venice are at war against Morocco, it will be Spain's score OR Venice's Score (depends on which one is higher) against Morocco's score, not Spain AND Venice's score against Morocco's.
- If one country has many allies, they will be accounted for in "Nations Per Side".
- This is to be fairer and more realistic to prevent ASB situations such as the Turkish-Christian War from happening.
3. ASB Events Fixing Round
- No one shall post for 1707 as it will be an ASB fixing round. It will happen every 10 years. In that year, the mods will fix everything that is seriously ASB.
- For 1707, there will be 3 things to fix:
- 1) The Turkish Christian War
- 2) Austria's Expansion
- 3) Issue of the German States
- This year's ASB Fixing Crew is Ninjavswarriors and Rcchang. If anyone of us doesn't want to take part in the ASB fixing round, the backup will be Sine and Reximus.
Enjoy the Game! Rcchang (talk) 09:08, October 25, 2013 (UTC)

Effect of temporal predictability on the neural processing of self-triggered auditory stimulation during vocalization
Sensory consequences of our own actions are perceived differently from the sensory stimuli that are generated externally. The present event-related potential (ERP) study examined the neural responses to self-triggered stimulation relative to externally-triggered stimulation as a function of delays between the motor act and the stimulus onset. While sustaining a vowel phonation, subjects clicked a mouse and heard pitch-shift stimuli (PSS) in voice auditory feedback at delays of either 0 ms (predictable) or 500–1000 ms (unpredictable). The motor effect resulting from the mouse click was corrected in the data analyses. For the externally-triggered condition, PSS were delivered by a computer with a delay of 500–1000 ms after the vocal onset.
As compared to unpredictable externally-triggered PSS, P2 responses to predictable self-triggered PSS were significantly suppressed, whereas an enhancement effect for P2 responses was observed when the timing of self-triggered PSS was unpredictable.
These findings demonstrate the effect of the temporal predictability of stimulus delivery with respect to the motor act on the neural responses to self-triggered stimulation. Responses to self-triggered stimulation were suppressed or enhanced compared with the externally-triggered stimulation when the timing of stimulus delivery was predictable or unpredictable. Enhancement effect of unpredictable self-triggered stimulation in the present study supports the idea that sensory suppression of self-produced action may be primarily caused by an accurate prediction of stimulus timing, rather than a movement-related non-specific suppression.
A multitude of sensory stimuli are processed constantly by our sensory systems. It has been suggested that the sensory system allots more processing resources to unexpected stimuli, that often require our immediate reaction, than to stimuli that are the predicted consequences of our own actions
Recently, several electrophysiological and neuromagnetic studies have demonstrated a similar suppression phenomenon in the auditory system. For example, self-triggered tones elicited suppressed event-related potentials (ERPs) or magnetoencephalography (MEG) responses as compared to the playback of the identical tones triggered by a computer
In a literature review of auditory suppression studies, the timing of self-triggered stimulation was usually predictable. For example, pure tones were presented immediately following the actions of a participant's button press. However, the onset of pure tones was unpredictable when they were triggered externally by the computer
To clarify the effect of temporal predictability on the neural processing of self-trigged stimulation relative to externally-triggered one, several studies have been conducted in the auditory modality. Schafer and Marcus reported a suppression effect for N1 responses to self-triggered click sounds even when the sound onset relative to the motor act was delayed up to 4 seconds by a fixed time
Contrasting findings, however, were reported in several recent pitch-shifted ERP studies of self-produced vocalization
Given these contrasting findings, the role of temporal predictability in distinguishing self-triggered from externally-triggered stimulation is controversial. Whether sensory suppression is due to an accurate prediction of self-triggered stimulation or a direct consequence of self-triggered stimulation itself remains unclear. Therefore, the present ERP study was designed to examine the effect of temporal predictability on the neural processing of self-triggered stimulation relative to unexpected externally-triggered stimulation during self-monitoring of vocal production. The altered auditory feedback protocol
Seventeen right-handed, native-Mandarin speakers (8 males and 9 females) participated in this study. They reported no history of speech, hearing, neurological disorders, or voice training. All subjects passed a hearing screening at the threshold of 25 dB HL for pure-tone frequencies of 0.5-4 kHz. Four subjects were excluded from the final analysis because of excessive artifacts such as alpha activity or ocular artifacts. So data from 13 subjects (7 males and 6 females, mean age 23.3 ± 1.8 years) were finally analyzed and reported. All the subjects read and signed the informed consent approved by the Institution Review Board of The First Affiliated Hospital at Sun Yat-sen University.
Subjects were seated in a sound-treated booth throughout the testing. Prior to the testing, acoustic calibration of the recording system was performed to insure that the intensity of voice feedback heard by the subjects was 10 dB (SPL) higher than that of subject's voice output. This 10 dB gain between voice and feedback signals was used to partially mask the air-born and bone-conducted voice feedback
During the experiment across all tasks, the subjects were instructed to vocalize a vowel sound (/a/, about 4 s duration) at their comfortable pitch and loudness. By instructing the subjects to vocalize without contracting speech muscles (e.g., tongue, lips or jaw), we greatly reduced the chance that such muscle contraction would affect the quality of the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. During each vocalization, a PSS of −200 cents (100 cents = 1 semitone) with 200 ms duration was presented in voice auditory feedback. The subjects were asked to vocalize 100 times for each task and take a pause for about 3–4 seconds prior to the next vocalization to avoid vocal fatigue.
The experiment consisted of four tasks (see Figure
Figure 1
Overview of the temporal characteristics of events in four experimental tasks
Overview of the temporal characteristics of events in four experimental tasks. Pitch-shift stimuli were triggered at delays of 0 ms or 500–1000 ms after mouse click for motor-vocal task with predictable delay (A) and motor-vocal task with unpredictable delay (B), respectively. Vocal-only task with random delay is illustrated in (C), in which a stimulus was triggered by the computer at a delay of 500–1000 ms after the vocal onset. In the motor-only task as shown in (D), subjects clicked the mouse but no stimulus was delivered. The traces in (A)-(D) denote pitch-shifted voice F0 contours (cents) and TTL control pulses indicating the onset and offset of the stimulus.
EEG recording and analysis
The EEG signal was recorded with a 64-electrode Geodesic Sensor Net using a Net Amps 300 amplifier at a sampling rate of 1000 Hz (Electrical Geodesics Inc.)
After data acquisition, the EEG was re-referenced to the average of electrodes on each mastoid and band-pass filtered at 1–20 Hz. The continuous EEG was segmented into an epoch starting at 200 ms before and terminating 700 ms after the PSS onset. Segmented files were scanned for artifacts (excessive muscular activity, eye blinks and eye movements) with the Artifact Detection toolbox in Net Station (v. 4.4) using a threshold of 50 μV. Individual electrodes were rejected if they contained artifacts of any kind in more than 20% of the segments. Artifact-free segments for correct responses were averaged and baseline corrected across all conditions. The amplitudes and latencies of N1 and P2 across all tasks were measured as the negative and positive peaks in the time windows of 80–150 ms and 150–280 ms after the PSS onset.
Specifically, by using the EEG signals for the MO task, the motor responses resulting from the finger movement with respect to the PSS onset were measured to correct for the motor effect in the motor-vocal task. For the MVP task, subjects clicked the mouse and heard the PSS at a zero delay, and the TTL pulses for the MO task indicated the onset of the mouse click/PSS. Thus, averaging the segmented trials relative to the onset of the TTL pulses for the MO task led to the motor response that occurred at the onset of the mouse click, which was used to correct for the motor activity in the neural responses to the PSS for the MVP task. For the MVR task, the PSS was delivered at a random delay after the mouse click. In order to measure the motor response relative to the PSS onset, we first extracted the relative timing values indicated by the difference between the onset of mouse click and the PSS onset. These timing values were sent to the EEG trials for the MO task to generate new TTL pulses that indicated the onset of the PSS that occurred at a random delay after the mouse click. The EEG signals for the MO task were re-segmented and averaged relative to the new TTL pulses, which in turn was used to correct for the motor activity in the neural responses to the PSS for the MVR task. These two motor responses for the MVP and MVR tasks are illustrated in Figures

A task × site RM-ANOVA on P2 amplitude showed significant main effects of task (F(2, 24) = 17.486,
In addition, a task × site RM-ANOVA of N1 latency (124 ± 22 ms) revealed no main effect of task (F(2, 24) = 0.860,
The present study examined the modulation of the neural responses to self-triggered stimulation as a function of temporal predictability relative to externally-triggered stimulation during vocalization. The results showed that, compared with externally-triggered stimulation (VOR), P2 responses to predictable self-triggered stimulation (MVP_A) were significantly suppressed, whereas an enhancement effect was found for P2 responses to unpredictable self-triggered stimulation (MVR_A). In addition, significantly suppressed P2 responses were elicited for the MVP task as compared to the MVR task. These findings support our hypothesis that sensory consequences of self-triggered auditory events can be modulated by the temporal predictability of stimulus delivery, resulting in a suppression or enhancement effect relative to externally-triggered stimulation.
Suppression of MVP
Sensory suppression of self-triggered stimulation has been well documented in previous research on tactile stimulation
Enhancement of MVR
The major finding of the present study is that unpredictable self-triggered PSS elicited larger P2 responses than unpredictable externally-trigged PSS, leading to an enhancement effect of self-triggered stimulation. This finding reinforces one similar ERP study, showing larger P2/N1 responses to unpredictable self-triggered PSS than to unpredictable externally-triggered PSS during vocalization and listening
One question arising from this finding has to do with the mechanism of the enhancement effect. According to the forward model, a larger prediction error between the efferene copy and the re-afference results in a larger brain response in the sensory or somatosensory cortex
Comparison with previous studies
The enhancement effect of self-triggered stimulation in the present study is in contrast with several studies where the suppression effect was still observed when temporal predictability of self-triggered stimulation was varied
Another factor such as experimental task could also account for the contrasting findings between the present study and Bäß et al.
In addition, the PSS across three vocal tasks were presented to voice pitch feedback at different times with respect to the onset of vocalization, which could confound the results. In previous research of the efference copy mechanisms during speech
N1 vs. P2
In the present study, the suppression/enhancement effect of self-triggered stimulation was reflected in the P2 response. Similarly, other pitch-shift ERP studies also showed the modulation of neural responses to pitch perturbation at P2 across tasks
It is also noted that some pitch-shift studies reported N1 suppression of active vocalization relative to passive listening
The present study examined the differential processing of self- and externally-triggered stimulation as the delays between the motor act and the PSS onset were manipulated during self-monitoring of vocal production. As compared to unpredictable externally-triggered PSS, P2 responses to predictable self-triggered PSS were suppressed, whereas an enhancement effect for P2 responses was found in the case of unpredictable self-triggered PSS. These results demonstrate that the neural processing of self-triggered stimulation can be modulated as a function of temporal predictability of stimulus onset related to the motor act. The finding of an enhancement effect for unpredictable self-triggered stimulation provides supportive evidence to the idea that suppression of self-triggered stimulation could be primarily due to an accurate prediction of stimulus timing rather than a movement-related nonspecific suppression.

3.5 Year Old Silicone Implants OUT! BEST Decision I Have Ever Made - Newport Beach, CA
Dr. Chun is AWESOME! He is there to give you honest answers and realistic advice. He never fluffed the truth about what I should expect. Once he realized there was a rupture, he reassured me that my intuition with my body was spot on. He tells you the truth, which is what you should want. If you want someone to tell you what you want to hear, you need to re-evaluate what you're doing to yourself. My results are beautiful and I am only 3 weeks post op. Side note: Dr. Chun's staff is one of best office staffs I have ever encountered. Sincerely great girls working in there.

Finally Explanting After 17 Years - Newport Beach, CA
I found recommendations for Dr. Chun on an older explantation support site. Dr. Chun is highly skilled and very experienced with breast implant removal. I like his shaping and contouring of the breast and his skill with symmetry and stitching. He is very thorough and will answer all questions even when busy. His staff is friendly and I was scheduled with a surgery date within a very agreeable time frame for me. I even recommended him to mom when she is ready for an explant.

Amazing Doctor - Newport Beach, CA
I consulted with Dr. Chun for him to revise a breast reconstruction I was unhappy with. He listened to all my concerns, and answered all my questions. I opted to have another surgery with him correcting the issues my other doctor would not. He did an amazing job! He is very, very picky and will do everything he can to give you perfect results. I'm so grateful for the job he did, and thrilled with my final outcome. After a mastectomy it is hard to feel whole again, he helped me feel so much better!

MES or batch: What is the best answer?
Should an application use a manufacturing execution system or will batch software suffice? A small set of decision points can determine the most commonly used models for selection or integration of ISA 88 batch execution systems and ISA 95 manufacturing operations management (MOM) systems. Ask these questions to decide. The ISA 95 Technical Report TR95.02 – Integrating ISA 88 and ISA 95 workflows can help.
Many have manufacturing execution system (MES), a batch management system, or a combination of the two. Deciding what parts of the process are better served by an ISA 88 batch execution system (BES), and which parts are better served by an ISA 95 manufacturing operations management (MOM) system or MES can be a contentious debate. The methodology and decision tree defined here can be used to help determine the appropriate tool and implementation architecture based on the ratio of equipment-based actions to manual-based actions. The methodology is based on work used to develop the draft ISA 95 Technical Report TR95.02 - Integrating ISA 88 and ISA 95 workflows. It addresses the fact that the typical MOM/MES is focused on manual actions, while a BES is focused on equipment control. Two different systems in a complete automation environment can be used together by using the strength of each system.
New process control
Many companies have islands of automation in their facilities, with some systems using ISA 88 BES, some with paper processes for coordination of automated equipment, some using an ISA 95 MES/MOM system, and often every possible combination. When it comes time to expand a system or add new production lines, the same question always comes up: What system are we going to use to control the new production process?
- Will it be an MES system because many manual actions must be coordinated?
- Will it be a BES because a lot of automated equipment must be coordinated?
- Will it be a combination?
- What if it must integrate with existing automated equipment?
The usual answers are more likely to be based on local experience, or integrator experience, with the MES options or the BES options, rather than a careful evaluation of advantages and disadvantages. Selecting the best option requires some knowledge of both the MES and BES models.
Workflow models
The core model for many MESs and BESs is workflows. The workflows are what provide automated execution support for standard operating procedures (SOP), standard work instructions, and other production procedures. The workflows can be customizable or editable, or can be hard-coded (as is typical in weight and dispense procedures).
There are two basic models for workflows: an orchestrated model and a choreographed model. In the orchestrated model, a coordination workflow contains the logic to sequence lower level workflows. The lower level workflows don't directly interact with each other, but only with the coordinating workflow.
Many business systems follow the orchestrated workflow model because it improves modularity and reusability of services. The orchestrated model also provides a single view into the coordinating workflows, making it easy to see the status of the work and determine the next steps.
While there is a performance penalty from the centralized coordination service, the impact is usually not significant at the relatively slow speed of business processes. The biggest problem with the orchestrated model is that it does not scale well to entire organizations. Orchestrated workflows work best when the job or task has a well-defined scope, such as in the execution of an ISA 88 recipe.
In the choreographed model there is no overall coordinating workflow. Any workflow may trigger the execution of another workflow, and wait for a response or continue asynchronously. The overall workflow process is defined by the collection of rules implemented in the individual workflows. Because there is no single view into the workflows, the choreographed model does not provide a simple way to view the status of the work and determine the next steps.
Choreographed workflows are used when there is a large scope of work, no single overall triggering condition, or no overall coordination is needed. The choreographed model can handle faster process times and is the model often used in manufacturing applications and in customer-facing Internet applications. Both of these applications must handle thousands of interactions per minute with minimal latency and delays.
MESs typically use the choreographed model. An MES will often handle manual tasks that are triggered by external events or other workflows. An MES workflow will often have significant logic to handle exceptions and errors.
BESs, following the ISA 88 models, use the orchestrated model. Each recipe is an orchestrating workflow, commanding the lower level actions (called equipment phases in the ISA 88 standard) in an orchestrated manner. The lower level procedures are phase logic, usually implemented in equipment modules. This model allows for a single view into the status of a batch and is designed for reusability of the lower level equipment phases in different recipes and across different equipment.
BES recipes are specialized workflows. They follow the orchestrated model, and their primary purpose is the control of equipment. The equipment control can be directly to automated equipment, or as commands to operators to control equipment. Because of the focus on equipment control, batch systems also implement mode and state control of the workflow. Modes allow operators to control the execution of the workflow, allowing it to run in automatic mode, single stepped using a semi-automated mode, or entirely manual with no automatic stepping through the workflow. State control allows for the workflow to be paused, resumed, stopped, and aborted. Not all MESs provide this ability to control their workflow execution through modes and states.
Workflow on top?
There is a typical pattern for operational workflows that is based on a simple decision. If the system will receive process orders that will require multiple separate jobs (batches or production runs), or there is work in process (WIP) that is managed at the operations level, then there is typically a workflow system that receives the process orders, supports breaking each process order into jobs, assigns jobs to work centers (process cells, production lines, etc.), and tracks WIP. In this case there is a workflow coordinating activities in work centers. The top level workflow can be configured, or can be dynamically interpreted depending on the tool chosen. In making a decision on the use of an MES or batch system at each work center, one can follow a decision tree to determine the appropriate model to be used. In any complex manufacturing facility, there may be different models for different work centers. For example, there may be a batch model for primary processing, a manual workflow for packaging, and a mixed model for incoming material and material preparation.

Hey summoners! This is me, 2nd Gemini, with my partner, Invisibleman (I mean literally). And as we all know, "nobody cares of who I am; nobody gives a f.. I mean scrap to me"
So... now we know each other :) , let's get back to the main topic, "the Clairvoyance thingy". I don't need to tell you what's the use of it because most of us already know about it but I'll tell you it's season 4 changes :)
Season 4 changes of Clairvoyance
Effect: reveals an area for 5 secs.
CD: 60 secs
Range: Global
It's a good thing right? that it already had low CD, it is global and reveals area for 5 secs! But, But, BUT, there's a big BUTT...er...cup. the clairvoyance can be seen by the enemy even in the fog of war. So this means they will "know" the possible plans of the opposing team and they will counter it in any ways. A random summoner from the Reddit suggested that the clairvoyance should be invisible to the enemy. Thanks for the suggestion, random summoner ;) . also, this is my suggestion ...plus that random summoner's suggestion -
I already made the clairvoyance eyes visible as what you have suggested - "you want the clairvoyance eyes to be visible to enemy team to be fair :)"
I also changed changed the cooldown system of CV as what Kavin Minisaurus suggested. He has a good point though. We will only keep the "ordinary" effect of CV and change it's cooldown system :)
Suggested New Clairvoyance
1) Reveal target area for X seconds (ordinary effect)
2) Clairvoyance will be visible to enemy team.
3) This will not break Stealth.
4) Cooldown system is "Charge-oriented" similar to one of the skill of Vel'Koz, Vi, etc.
Cooldown: X seconds
Max charge: Y charges
Range: Still Global
CD: to balance the effect, the cd should be increased to X value (you choose what number will it be so that everything will be fair.)
1) What's with this new CV?
- This new suggested CV is only optional to those summoners who need a map control but also they should sacrifice one of their summoner spell in exchange for this CV. Most of the summoner spells are effective in combat but uneffective in map control. CV is "only" slightly effective in combat but greatly effective in map control! :) So I conclude this CV is already fair enough. :)
2) What are the effects of this to competitive gameplay?
-this would make the clairvoyance viable again to supports and also maybe to the rest of the roles! To tell you honestly, this new change i made to clairvoyance would nourish the value of teamwork :) there will be unexpected amazing plays! there will be more unexpected counterganks, ganks, chase. and of course, RISE OF THE GLOBAL ULTIMATES! no I'm just joking, I mean clairvoyance would help beginner and pro summoners to hit high range skillshots (it's only X secs duhhh, so that is not OP ...plus high CD :P) that's all thank you :)
P.S. don't comment negatively. I only need your response not your insult. I'm making this blog to preach the rework of clairvoyance to make it viable again. And also pls I forgot, you may also suggest for the clairvoyance rework :) It's greatly appreciated :)

Best Practices for Mail Center Security
The following tips have been abridged from the USPS Postal Inspection Service guide Security of the Mail". These guidelines apply to both your internal mail center as well as any outsourced mail houses (presort services, lettershop, etc).
- Notify internal and external customers, as appropriate, of steps taken to ensure safety of mail
- Control or limit access of employees, known visitors and escorted visitors to the mail center with sign-in sheets, badges, and/or card readers. (For large mail operations, include plant, workroom floor, etc.)
- Subject to emergency exit safety requirements, lock all outside doors and/or prohibit doors from being propped open
- Require deliveries to be made in a restricted, defined area
- Restrict drivers (rest areas) to an area that is separate from the production/mail center facilities.
- Use video cameras inside and outside the facility/docks, as feasible
- Keep the area for processing incoming and outgoing mail separate from all other operations, as feasible
- If a separate processing area is used, it should not be part of the central ventilation system
- Shut-off points of processing area's ventilation system should be mapped and should be part of an emergency procedures handout
- Separate processing area should include appropriate personnel protection equipment and disposal instructions for such equipment, as approved by the CDC
- Designate and publish/post evacuation routes for emergency situations
- Conduct training, emergency preparedness drills, and information update meetings, as necessary
- X-ray all incoming mail. (Large mail centers.)
- Maintain a Suspicious Package Profile
- Ensure appropriate emergency access numbers are posted by or on every phone. Such numbers should include: call 911; CDC at 770-488-7100; local Postal Inspector; or local police or fire department
- Maintain updated employee lists (name, address, phone/cell phone), and keep back-up copy off-site
- Provide only vacuum systems for cleaning equipment, not forced air systems
- If not already done, alter receiving procedures to require a manifest with all shipments and practice the acceptance of "complete" shipments only
- Discarded envelopes, packages, boxes should be placed in a covered container and transported to the loading dock for removal. (Ensure local arrangements are in place for disposal of such material.)
Guidelines for Mail Center Theft Prevention
Mail is sometimes lost or stolen from company mail centers, or while en route to or from the Post Office. Much of this mail is quite valuable, containing cash, jewelry, and other high-value items. Needless to say, such losses are costly to the company and its investors. The following are some suggestions for improving theft prevention in your mail center operation:
- Know your employees. Don't put your new hires in your mail center without a criminal record check.
- Secure your mail center. Prevent access by unauthorized persons. Keep locked whenever possible, especially when no one is on duty. Maintain a sign-in sheet for persons entering and leaving the mail center, including times of arrival and departure.
- Registered Mail™. Keep separate from other mail. Document transfer of Registered Mail by requiring the receiver to sign for custody.
- Protect company funds. If company funds are handled as part of the mail center operations, establish adequate controls to fix individual responsibility for any losses that may occur.
- Keep postage meters secure. Postage meters should be secured when not in use. Check mails periodically to determine if employees are using company postage meters for their personal mail.
- Vary times and lines of travel between post office and plant. If currency or other valuable mail is sent or received, check periodically to see if mail messengers are making unauthorized stops or is leaving mail unattended in unlocked vehicles.
Employees caught stealing should be prosecuted. There is no greater deterrent to a potential thief than the fear that he/she may go to jail. The Postal Inspection Service will extend its full cooperation.

The Hangover Club promises to make your morning after less miserable
When a greasy breakfast sandwich and a Coke won't do—and you have $79 to spare—this pop-up service is here to save the post–drunk day
Tue May 27 2014
Photograph: Shutterstock
The first rule of Hangover Club is: We need to talk about Hangover Club. With the promise of "curing your hangover on your lunch break," the service is set to hit the city this Friday. Five locations are spread around midtown, Soho and the Financial District, offering pampering services like foot-and-shoulder massages and IV hydration, administered by "Hangover Specialists" who are registered nurses in New York hospitals and, as per the photos on their website, all look like hot Grey's Anatomy interns.
On weekdays, you can head to Club headquarters for a "wet lunch" package, which includes a B12-and-antioxidant booster, plus an "inflammation, pain and nausea" elixir for $79 (down from $150). And if you're in rough shape during the weekend, you can get a home visit, too. For hard-core hangover warriors, the Club offers one-month memberships for $49, with perks like complimentary hair-of-the-dog cocktails and a free session for that friend you forced to stay out with you until 4am last night. You're also encouraged to plan in advance for a year's worth of hangovers, and enter the drawing for one of five premium memberships, which include one free session a month of any package at any location, and free oxygen-bar sessions. Of course, there's always another option: to actually mean it when you say, "'I'll never drink like that again." But we all know that's not going to happen.

Riello UPS has increased its investment and support in the "Ducati Corse" team for the 2009 MotoGP World Championship.
Riello UPS, the leading European manufacturer of uninterruptible power supplies and standby power systems has increased its support for Ducati Corse in their attempt to win the 2009 Motogp World Championship title.
Riello UPS, part of the Riello Elettronica Group, has steadily increased its sponsorship of Ducati over the last two years from being a technical sponsor to this latest high profile level. For the new season, Riello UPS has ensured that its logo appears on the racing leathers worn by Case Stoner and Nicky Hayden, principally on their chests and arms. As in previous seasons the logo will also be visible on the Ducati Desmosedici bikes themselves, on the front and rear fenders.
This increased visibility will help to further expand the reach of the Riello UPS brand as Motogp events are broadcast around the world. The logo will also be visible when images from the races are used within promotional materials and on general racing merchandise such as limited edition replica bikes. Riello UPS clients can also benefit from the sponsorship arrangement in the form of corporate hospitality at races during the season and factory visits.
The essence behind the sponsorship is one of research, continuous improvement, quality and passion for excellence. Ducati and Riello UPS see the relationship as a partnership with both organisations driven by the need to be 'world class', exporting 'excellence made in Italy'.
The Ducati Corse Team also benefit from the relationship technically. Riello UPS provide power protection in the form of their latest generation UPS systems. These provide secure power to the telemetry, control and communications systems used by the team, no matter what the state of the 'local mains power supply' and wherever the team is racing in the World.
"We are highly satisfied with the partnership with Ducati, a relationship which is becoming ever more solid and profitable and we are confident that we will have excellent results this year too", says Fabio Passuello, General Manager of Riello UPS.

First of all, Hostel Leidseplein is the worst hostel in the world, any other dump in the Red light district would have been better.the place is almost impossible to find. With only one small sign above the door. It's located above a nightclub ( which makes it impossible to sleep until 6 a.m.) as soon as you come in you get a really bad feeling, everything is ugly and old and the place smells veeeery bad. The staff is very rude and ignorant and they charge waaaay to much for the very poor service you get for it. The rooms are old and ugly as well. The bathroom is old, the shower hardly works and the drain is so bad that the bathroom is always very wet and dirty with hairs everywher. The breakfast includes some mouldy bread with jam or peanut butter... Not even worth waking up for. The staff thinks it normal to come in your room at 7 am without knocking on the door.. One night a guy peed on the floor in our room.. And not to forget the cat who's running around the room (it lives in the hostel and eats your food) one piece of advise DON'T GO THERE it's even worse than you can imagine.. never again

Came here for dinner while in Mexico City. It was an absolute delight. The food on the thirteen course tasting menu was a mix of somewhat familiar items (such as a lamb taco and beef tartare) and unfamiliar items, such as ant eggs. Unlike some famous places with exotic tasting menus, everything here tasted really great. Here are a few highlights for those who might be considering Pujol for dinner...
1. Pujol does offer a wine pairing, but also a more interesting beverage pairing that included alcohol such as mescal, dark beer, and light beer, as well as non-alcoholic house creations. This was a lot of liquid (and it cost nearly as much as the meal), but it was nice trying new things without leaving the place completely hammered. My favorite was a glass of water with finely ground mint and cucumber.
2. The courses on the tasting menu come out quickly. If you are pairing wine throughout, it may be a challenge!
3. The cost of a 13 course pairing menu with the beverage pairing and tax/tip came to around 170$ u.s. per person.
4. The courses are each small, but I found everything delicious and comparable to other tasting menus. It is not a buffet by any means. Two of the courses were tacos which had all of the ingredients placed on the tortilla separately. When folded, all of the flavors blended nicely.
5. Be prepared... The are things such as ant eggs, frog legs, and other items not typically found on the menu at Cracker Barrel. I had several new tasting experiences and found everything to be delicious. However, if you are not adventurous, this might not be for you.
6. The best dishes were perhaps the desserts. One was a blackberry sorbet with mescal set to flame. Another was three different creations made from milk that was incredible.
7. Arrive before 730 to beat the rush. Some of the staff do not speak much English, as I do not speak much Spanish. However, most descriptions of the dishes were given by staff members who spoke English well enough to be clearly understood.
8. The restaurant has a relaxed, yet elegant feel. You do not need to dress formally, but jeans are probably not a good idea. If you like to go out in style, this would be a good place to do it.
This place is a treat, but it is an adventure as well. If you know that going in, you just might fall in love with Pujol.

Photos of Brad Pitt and Maddox Jolie Pitt Leaving Miami Together After the 2010 Super Bowl
Brad and Maddox Head Home After Their Winning Weekend
Maddox Jolie-Pitt was still showing his Saints pride this morning as he and Brad Pitt boarded a private plane in Miami. The boys are fresh off an exciting night of cheering on the victorious NOLA team during yesterday's Super Bowl with Angelina Jolie. She wasn't there to take off with Brad, but they certainly bonded last night, hugging and kissing their way through the game. Their very public display of affection contradicts all the recent breakup rumors, which Brad and Angelina take seriously enough to sue over.

Long time, no post.....I know. That pesky thing called work (3 jobs currently) has prevented me from posting much in here as of late. But I simply had to make a quick post about my favorite fast food place finally coming to Austin. I know, I know...there are a great many better Burgers in and around Austin. Namely Casino, the Driskill, Poodie's, Houston's and even (shudder) Bone Daddy's. But Carl's JR has a special place in my heart as being a childhoold favorite of mine when I lived in SoCal. I feel especially joyous in that they are building it not even 5 minutes from my house! Anyhoo.....
It's on Slaughter Ln, right between Manchaca and Congress in a small new Business Park.

It's quite often the one area of football that is most often overlooked by the casual fan and sometimes even the most ardent fan. I'm speaking of special teams of course or as many football people refer to it as, "the third phase." It is many times the part of the game that can ultimately be the biggest. Accurate punters can dictate field position while return men can flip the field in their team's favor in the blink of an eye. You can pretty much bank on the Pittsburgh Steelers looking significantly different on Special Teams in two or three key areas in 2012. It's already been made clear that Antonio Brown will focus more on being a number two receiver and will be used less in the return game. This means Emmanuel Sanders will pick up the lion's share of those duties. Sanders does a nice job returning kicks but Brown is clearly better and more explosive. When Santonio Holmes was still with the Steelers he was back there any time a crucial return was needed, even if just for the sak...

There has been massive speculation over the launch date of the next Gen Xbox '720' Codenamed 'Durando' in a recent interview on GameTrailers.com Michael Patcher aired his views on the console release date, saying that he had spoke to both Sony and Microsoft.
His view is that there will be a spring 2014 launch of the next gen console and predicted that Sony will indeed launch first.
There are several rumours regarding this and all information seems to point to the same conclusion. Firstly, Microsoft have to fully develop the Kinect 2, which, whilst being pretty amazing for the Xbox 360, does need some fine tuning as there is a slight lag between the user and the unit.
Seriously? Is every idiot on N4G.com today?
Get a life
wrong boxes you've ticked etc who gives a rats arse?
Sorry guys but 4 reports and 3 for the same thing? It only takes one and Valenka is really getting my goat over a previous post too. Not a good day now!
lol....it should have come out in 2010
its going to be in it's 8th year on the market this november
whatever, it's beyond ridiculous now that there are no new consoles.
pc is the only place to game with modern graphics, everything on console looks last gen.
i have games on my ps2 emulator that look better than many ps3/360 games
my iphone has better graphics, the games are kinda mediocre, but at least its not covered in jaggies and running at 20 frames.

Victorian State Premier Steve Bracks said the funeral would be held Wednesday in Melbourne, Miller's home town. Miller, rated one of cricket's greatest and most entertaining all-rounders, died Monday at a Victorian nursing home.
He was a member of Don Bradman's Invincibles, the national cricket team that toured England undefeated in 1948.
A magnificent attacking batsman, Miller averaged almost 37 in 55 Tests and claimed 170 wickets at 22.97. He retired after the 1956 tour to England.
"Keith Miller was one of the greatest sportsmen our state has produced," Bracks said on Wednesday. I'm sure many Victorians will want to join together in celebrating his life."
In another sign of respect for Miller, Australia's cricket team will wear black armbands when they open their second Test against India in Madras on Thursday.

When: "Summer Daze"
favorite season was summer, of course. I have most of my happiest memories when
I think of that season of long days, short nights and days full of adventure and
play. It seemed like you couldn't
ask for a greater place to grow up than our neighborhood, in the summer.
Everything we needed was right within walking distance.
Park it was one of Cleveland's gems. Beautifully kept and manicured with
Cultural Gardens to let your imagination run wild with. The creek was there to
enjoy and play in. You could explore the woods like the Indians did in the past.
It was your great get away, a place to escape from your home, family, or even
yourself. There was no finer evening entertainment then watching the softball
leagues play on the Ginny Hill Diamond. You could watch all those aspiring
neighbors be baseball stars. You
could rout for you favorite tavern team (mine was the Lucky Leaf Tavern) and
watch great amateur teams play. It was our neighborhood series. If you were
lucky you could have enough change to buy a coke and small bag of chips and that
made the night even more enjoyable. Baseball, ice cold coke (in bottles) and a
bag of fresh chips; how much better could life get? The games went on until it
was almost too dark to play. You met your friends there and so did the
neighbors. There were also games to watch at Gordon Park (under the lights) and
don't forget Gradina Park too.
Cleveland Aquarium was an interesting place to visit, it was supposed to be an
educational experience, but it was just a great place to visit and imagine what
it would be like to live life as a fish. Somehow when you went to the Aquarium
you stayed for a long time. It was never meant to be a short visit so I guess
because you had to pay an admission fee, you had to stay long enough to get your
money's worth. You spent more time at the gift shop then in front of the fish
neighborhood playgrounds also offered places to play and Sowinski School had a
great playground. Swings, "teeter totters" and monkey bars, slides,
basketball courts and baseball diamonds. During the summer City Summer Employees
called "Coaches" or "Teaches" staffed the playgrounds. They were college
students that the city hired to work the Recreation Centers and Parks during
summer. To us they were role models, smart older kids who taught us how to
improve our sporting skills and tried to keep us in line so we would not
misbehave too badly. They also held
craft and hobby classes indoors inside some of the classrooms in the basement of
the school. Sowinski had one of the biggest sand boxes in Ohio and we played the
card games "Muggins" and a game with a jack knife that we flip into the sand
off our hands, elbows or knees. Now that was living dangerously.
the schoolyard closed we went home ate supper then usually went over someone's
house to sit on the front porch, Some other things we did involved baseball
cards. Everyone collected them. Everyone traded them and everyone pitched them
on front porches. We all had our share of cavities from chewing all that bubble
gum that we had to buy to get those cards. Someone has to keep all the
neighborhood dentists in business. Somewhere I still have my treasured baseball
card of Rocky Colavito from the Cleveland Indians.
it came to summer swimming we had Lake Erie, or you could go to Petri Pool,
which was one of the city's outdoor pools. Petri Pool was quite a walk from 79th
Street down to 33rd or 32nd street. We mostly rode the bus
to get there and stayed the entire afternoon. It was outdoors and the water was
clean and refreshing on a hot summer day. Swimming
made you hungry so if the pangs got too bad you could spend your bus fare home
and buy pop, chips or other junk food to satisfy your hunger. Then you made that
long walk home. Lucky for us, if we planned it right we would walk home down
Superior Ave and look for my Dad driving home and flagged him down for a free
ride. This was a true example hot to "have your cake and eat it too".
Evenings were for sitting on front porches, catching lightening bugs, playing "hide n seek", or waiting to hear the music of the Mr. Softee Ice Cream Truck! When that music played everyone knew he would be on your street in a matter of minutes. The begging for money began at the first hearing of the chiming music. A frozen whipped concoction made for a perfect evening while sitting on your front porch with family, neighbors and friends. Life was simple and we were happy. I wish sometimes I could go back.

We are football fans at PitchBook but being a Seattle-based company are REALLY big fans of the Seahawks. As such we have been making a bit of a fuss over the upcoming Super Bowl – see datagraphic here and picture here. Well, it looks like a few others in the VC community are also fans and have turned their excitement into a charitable wager –http://www.sethlevine.com/wp/2014/02/betting-for-a-cause-this-superbowl.
a #superbowl bet with a cause with @levitan. $5k to either @childrenscolo or @seattlechildren. http://t.co/DqC1gb3WJk
— seth levine (@sether) February 1, 2014
We are excited to join Seth Levine's of Foundry Group and Dan Levitan's of Maveron wager with our own contribution.
PitchBook will contribute $50 per point scored to the winning city's Children's Hospital – Seattle Children's for a Seahawks win or Children's Hospital of Colorado if it is the Broncos.
We will certainly be rooting for an exciting and high scoring game! These are two fabulous institutions that are dedicated to making miracles happen and we couldn't be more excited about supporting them along with Seth, Dan and whoever else wants to join in on the fun/giving.
