For many students with large business aspirations, more than one field of study also draws their interest and can be relevant to their future career opportunities. When this happens, they may want to consider an MBA dual degree. So, what is an MBA dual degree?
Using an MBA dual degree to create a customized education plan, many students have found that an education in multiple areas of study helps them to become more well-rounded and prepared to enter the job field. Combining an MBA with another area of study such as science, healthcare, or law, you too can create a degree that meets your specific needs and interests.
The benefits of such a custom degree allow graduates to pursue a more specific career within their interest range. By completing a dual degree program, both a business emphasis and another emphasis can be added to the coursework and can typically be completed in a shorter time frame. This fast timetable often allows students to put their interests to use in the industry as soon as possible.
While combining degree programs into one course of study may lower you total cost of education, educational expenses will always vary by university, location, and field of study. Compare different degree programs you are interested in to see which is the most affordable and best meets your educational goals.
Depending on your chosen pairing of degree programs, a dual degree offers a wide range of career opportunities. From a business endeavor in the healthcare sector, to management of an engineering facility, the possibilities are virtually limitless and the career opportunities are vast. Choosing an area of interest and pairing it with an MBA degree program can greatly direct and move forward any student's career goals.
For those students looking to obtain an MBA coupled with another major area of study, a dual degree may be the best educational pathway. To apply for a program online, create an account with MBAStudies.com and gain access to the best information and application guides available.

The Politics of Anti-Semitism (ISBN 1902593774) is a book edited by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair and published by AK Press in 2003.
Contributors include former U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney, British foreign correspondent Robert Fisk, former senior CIA analysts Bill and Kathy Christison, professor of philosophy Michael Neumann, Capitol Hill staffer George Sutherland, assistant professor of political science and author Norman Finkelstein, Israeli dissident Uri Avnery, Shaheed Alam and Israeli journalists Neve Gordon and Yigal Bronner as well as Will Yeoman, Kurt Nimmo and Anne Pettifer. The editors Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair allege "false accusations of antisemitism are used to silence Israel's critics"[1][2], and write about the USS Liberty incident.
- ↑ "Partisans of Israel often make false accusations of anti-Semitism to silence Israel's critics. The 'antisemite!' libel is harmful not only because it censors debate about Israel's racism and human rights abuses but because it trivializes the ugly history of Jew-hatred." (Handleman, Scott, "Trivializing Jew-Hatred," in The Politics of Anti-Semitism, ed. Alexander Cockburn. AK Press, 2003, p. 13.)
- ↑ "Apologists for Israel's repression of Palestinians toss the word "anti-Semite" at any critic of what Zionism has meant in practice for Palestinians on the receiving end." (Cockburn, Alexander and St. Clair, Jeffrey, preface to The Politics of Anti-Semitism, ed. Alexander Cockburn. AK Press, 2003, p.vii.)

MANCHESTER, England -- Azizulhasni Awang won a bronze medal at cycling's Track World Cup, and boy, did he ever earn it.
The Malaysian rider managed to get back on his bike after a dramatic crash in Saturday's Keirin final and stagger across the line, but it was only afterward that the full extent of his injury became clear.
Pictures showed a large splinter of wood had gone right through his left calf.
Awang was promoted to third after Spanish rider Juan Peralta Gascon was disqualified. But Awang missed his moment on the podium because he was on his way to a hospital.

Hawaiian Saimin Soup
READY IN: 30mins
Recipe by Lorac
A traditional Hawaiian noodle soup from Ono Recipes. Posted by request
Top Review by Judy from Hawaii
This is a very nice - and authentic - saimin. Someone gave dh about 2 lbs of fresh saimin, but no instructions on how to prepare it. He went online to search for a recipe & found it - here on Zaar! We had all of the ingredients except the spinach. The recipe was easy to follow & resulted in a saimin enjoyed by the whole family. Thanks, Lorac!
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb fresh saimin noodles or 1 lb somen noodles or 1 lb other fine white-flour noodles
- 4 cups dashi
- 1 bunch spinach, chopped
- 4 ounces kamaboko, thinly sliced (Japanese fish cake)
- 8 ounces char siu pork, thinly sliced (Chinese roasted pork)
- 6 scallions, trimmed and chopped
- pepper
- 2 beaten eggs (optional)
- shoyu (soy sauce)
Directions See How It's Made
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, add noodles and cook until tender but firm, about 3 minutes.
- Drain noodles and divide evenly between 4 large, deep soup bowls.
- While noodles cook, heat dashi over medium heat until simmering but not boiling, (stir in beaten eggs- optional).
- Evenly divide spinach between the bowls of noodles, then ladle about 1 cup dashi into each bowl.
- Garnish soup with slices of fish cake and pork.
- Scatter scallions on top and season with pepper.
- Serve with soy sauce.

For newer devices, see OPA827.
The OPA6x7 Difet operational amplifiers provide a new level of performance in a precision FET operational amplifier. When compared to the popular OPA111 operational amplifier, the OPA6x7 has lower noise, lower offset voltage, and higher speed. The OPA6x7 is useful in a broad range of precision and high speed analog circuitry.
The OPA6x7 is fabricated on a high-speed, dielectrically-isolated complementary NPN/PNP process. It operates over a wide range of power supply voltage of ±4.5 V to ±18 V. Laser-trimmed Difet input circuitry provides high accuracy and low-noise performance comparable with the best bipolar-input operational amplifiers.
High frequency complementary transistors allow increased circuit bandwidth, attaining dynamic performance not possible with previous precision FET operational amplifiers. The OPA627 is unity-gain stable. The OPA637 is stable in gains equal to or greater than five.
Difet fabrication achieves extremely low input bias currents without compromising input voltage noise performance. Low input bias current is maintained over a wide input common-mode voltage range with unique cascode circuitry.
The OPA6x7 is available in plastic PDIP, SOIC, and metal TO-99 packages. Industrial and military temperature range models are available.

Topsy today launched a new video search engine that surfaces hot videos shared on Twitter, revealed the company's official tweet.
The new video search functions similarly to Topsy's other search tools -- web (links), tweets and photos. Results appear to be ranked based on several factors, including how often, how recent, and who shares the video on Twitter. The left column offers a number of filtering and sorting options.
Topsy is not the first real-time video search engine around. TweetMeme continues to offer video search, and OneRiot used to offer it, too.
But, with many real-time search engines struggling and/or shutting down altogether (i.e., Collecta, CrowdEye, and others), Topsy may eventually become the default and even the last real-time search engine standing.

Who We Are & What We Do
John McCarthy, Chief Economist
The Economic Division is responsible for assessing and advising on Irish economic and fiscal developments. The Division is also responsible for the provision of rigorous analytical support to the Minister and wider Department on a broad range of economic and budgetary policy matters, as well as the production and co-ordination of the annual Budget.
To achieve these objectives, the Division is organised in four units, each headed by a Principal Officer:
Macroeconomic analysis and forecasting unit
Feargal Ó Brolcháin
This unit monitors and advises on developments in the Irish economy. It has responsibility for the preparation of short- and medium-term forecasts of the Irish economy which are published twice-yearly in the Stability Programme Update (April) and the Macroeconomic Outlook (October, as input to the annual Budget). It has the lead role in the co-ordination of the biennial survey of the Irish economy by the OECD.
Fiscal policy and statistics unit
John Palmer
The Fiscal Policy Unit has responsibility for analysing and advising on Irish fiscal developments, outlook and policy. Short- and medium-term revenue projections, as well as deficit and debt forecasts are compiled in this unit which also has responsibility for overall co-ordination and preparation of the annual Budget. The unit also provides advice on legal obligations relating to the fiscal rules and statistical classification issues.
Economic strategy unit
David Hegarty
This unit provides analytical support to the wider Department on economic issues. In-depth economic analysis of taxation policies, including the evaluation of tax expenditures, is undertaken. The unit provide advice on the distributional effects of budgetary policies in support of evidence-based policy-formation. It is also responsible for the provision of advice on sectoral issues, and for monitoring and assessing developments in the housing sector.
Economic research unit
Brendan O'Connor
The Economic Research Unit conducts policy-relevant economic research that support the Minister and Department in achieving strategic goals. This unit is responsible for modelling the Irish economy using a suite of econometric models (some of the work is conducted jointly with researchers in the ESRI). A key work-stream in this unit relates to assessing the Irish economic implications of Brexit. This unit also houses the Department's productivity section.
For futher information see WhoDoesWhat.Gov.ie
Fiscal Monitor
- An Exchequer surplus of €3,366 million was recorded to end-July 2017. This compares to a surplus of €862 million in the same period last year. This year-on-year improvement of €2,505 million is primarily due to the recent sale of over 28% of the State's shareholding in AIB.
- Tax revenues for the month of July closed the month just 2.6% or €119 million below target. As a result, cumulative tax revenue is just 0.8% or €230 million below profile, which represents a solid year-on-year increase of 4.5% or €1,201 million.
- Overall, total net voted expenditure to end-July 2017, at €25,507 million, was 0.9% or €244 million below target, but up 4.7% or €1,138 million in year-on-year terms.
Stability Programme Update
This Update of Ireland's Stability Programme takes account of Budget 2017 and other Government initiatives. It is Ireland's national medium-term fiscal plan and includes an update of the economic and fiscal outlook. This document was submitted to the European Commission on 28 April 2017 in accordance with the requirements of the European Semester. It was presented in draft form to Dáil Éireann on 11 April prior to submission. The document incorporates horizontal guidance provided by the European Council to Member States in December 2016 and March 2017 as part of the discussions on the Annual Growth Survey. It has been prepared in line with the September 2012 guidelines on the format and content of Stability and Convergence programmes. This document should be read in conjunction with Ireland's National Reform Programme (NRP) 2017, which sets out policies being advanced in response to challenges identified by the European Commission in its Country Report on Ireland, and which reports on progress towards our Europe 2020 Strategy targets.
Monthly Economic Bulletin
Watch Justin Flannery on MEB for August 2017
The Department's Monthly Economic Bulletin (MEB) provides a monthly update of some of the key developments within the Irish economy across a broad spectrum of sectors. The bulletin also outlines fiscal developments for the State, as well as being a source of the Department's most up-to-date forecasts and providing a snapshot of conditions in some of Ireland's key trading partners. This publication is designed with the aim of being both informative and accessible to a wide readership. The MEB can be used as a research aid or for presentational purposes.

The Linden Scripting Language allows residents of the Second Life World to program the three dimensional objects around them. Without this programming objects built in Second Life are motionless and non-interactive. Adding a script enables an object to interact with the world around it. Second Life scripts allow objects such as cars, planes, amusement park rides, weapons and other entertainment devices to be created. This book teaches the beginning Second Life programmer to make use of the basics of the Linden Scripting Language. Language fundamentals, such as variables, loops, lists, events, functions and state machines are covered. The book then moves to more advanced topics such as user interaction and non-physical movement. Later chapters show how to use the Second Life physics engine to create vehicles.

The moment one feeble voice from the oppressed sections of India is heard demanding affirmative action in private sector,all the so called intelligentsia raise a hue and cry of pushing 'merit' to the back seat!They term affirmative action as 'quota' in a derisive term and hash tag the debate on it as"#QuotaOverMerit" or "#DeathOfMerit"revealing their heart against any kind of justice to the marginalized communities.Is it true that 'reservations' clash with 'merit'?Does'reservation' mean'death of merit' as it is made out to be? What exactly is 'merit'?Let us take a close look.
'Merit' means…
The noun'merit' means" the quality of being particularly good or worthy, especially so as to deserve praise or reward. Synonyms:excellence, goodness, standard, quality, level, grade, high quality, caliber, worth, good, credit, eminence, worthiness, value, virtue, distinction, account, deservedness, meritoriousness" However the word is used more with the meaning of 'excellence'and' worthiness' in these discussions.
So according to to these loud Arnabs ,'excellence' in the respective fields is suppressed if an affirmative action policy is implemented there.
Is this argument true? If this argument is true ,Indians should have been high performers in fields where reservation policy does not operate and the so-called 'merit' rules.There are many such free zones like film field,science,MNCs,sports,industries etc. ruled and controlled exclusively by 'merit' upper castes . Let us now assess upper caste India's performance in such areas,to vet their claim of 'merit'.
India Versus Other Countries!
Let us compare UC India's 'merit' vis-à-vis other countries in Olympics.
"In spite of being the 2nd most populous country in the world, India is not able to produce quality players and our nation's performance in Olympics is always poor. Don't you think that winning medals in Olympics or in any other competition should be a national priority? Winning medals definitely add to the value and improves the image of India at global level.
India has been taking part in Olympics since 1990 but won just 22 medals. On the other hand the US has won 37 medals in just one Olympics and more than 2500 since 1990. What a huge difference! This win of India makes just 1 medal per 383 million Indians. India is at 55th place in the list of winning the medals. Even the countries like Kenya and North Korea perform better than India. China on the other hand is the most populous country in the world and still manages to win medals in Olympics because its population is well-educated, lives a high quality life, and effectively participate in games.
In 2012 Summer Olympics, 83 Indian players participated in the games and won six medals. Since beginning hockey had been the main game of India in Olympics, but with time its glory also started to fade. India won 11 medals in hockey between 1928 and 1980. After this Indian hockey team never won any medal. In 2008 Abhinav Bindra won the first ever individual gold medal at Summer Olympics in an air rifle event.
Though India has one of the finest Cricket and Hockey teams in the world but winning Olympics medals seems such a daunting task for our nation. To improve this we have to work towards the quality of life and develop more interest in sport"(Blog by Ramandeep Kaur)
Now where is the 'merit' of Indians here? You have no 'reservation policy 'operating here to blame any body for the debacle! All are 'brainy Arnabs' only.There is nothing preventing your 'merit' to fully show up without any barriers!Then why such poor show?
The real reason for poor show is that upper castes prevent the real potential performers from entering the arena.Lower castes are the real sportsmen and the men with the muscle but they are denied opportunities to participate.If you want a participant for swimming contest,select from 'fisher men community' who are born in waters,live in waters and die in waters!What's the point of selecting a frail UC vegan for the swimming contest just because he is influential and related to so and so?Why can't you take the martial castes for boxing contests?This is the kind of injustice done to the deserving castes .Then whats the'merit' you are shouting about!The Caste System in fact,effectively prevents low castes into areas where big money floats!
What about Nobel Prizes?
Coming to Nobel prizes,1200 million Indians winning just 5 Nobel Prizes to their credit! Compare this with the 12 won by tiny Israel of 8 million people and 24 by little Japan with a population of just 127 million!Where is UC India's so called 'merit'?
Take Oscars the prestigious awards for 'merit' in Cinema.India has won just 8 Awards so far .This is not even equal to the awards won by a single American film 'Titanic' bagging 11 Academy Awards with a single shot!Where is your 'merit' India?
Information Tech Performance!
We brag a lot about India's IT exports and all.What is the real position of India in world rankings?"India has been ranked a low 131 out of 167 nations on a global index that measures the level of information and communication technology access, even as the number of households with Internet and computer has increased in the country over the last five years."( http://indianexpress.com) Let us also know that none of the Indian IT companies figure in Top 10 IT firms in the world.We are no where in country rankings also.
Here are the top 10 Tech Countries in the world.
Rank Country Name Capital Technology Index
1 USA Washington, D.C. 88.54
2 Japan Tokyo 79.38
3 Germany Berlin 78.63
4 South Korea Seoul 76.91
5 Finland Helsinki 76.64
6 Russia Moscow 76.29
7 China Beijing 75.42
8 UK London 73.86
9 France Paris 73.61
10 Canada Ottawa 73.59
India with its upper caste merit is not found any where here!Even little Finland and small South Korea are figuring !
Other Areas Of Excellence
Let us take other areas of performance.We don't figure any where near even 100 in Industrial production,Human Development Index or any thing significant ,in international rankings. Now coming to discoveries and inventions that revolutionized the world,no significant Indian contribution except the much touted 'zero'. From the little safety pin to giant tunnel trains,all were all invented by the'meritorious' foreigners only!Why are we not able to invent any thing worth while?Because Indian caste system does not allow non-Brahmins to think or 'invent' at all! Without encouraging support and a conducive environment,none can invent anything!
The Internal Score Card
India was ruled by the upper caste 'merit' people for the last 3000 years or so till the British entered in 1600s.Now let us rate the 'merit' of our upper caste's rule in India.
- 'India' is the only country which did not have a name of its own.Its the foreigners who gave India its name.
- India has not produced any thing worthwhile during the 'merit' rule
- India's political system was given to us by foreigners only
- India's railways,education,law,infrastructure..nothing has Indian contribution in it.
- No secular structures were built by the 'merit' people ,so far.
- 'Merit'India has promoted the cursed 'untouchabilty' with glee.
So please stop crying 'merit,merit' whenever Government proposes any compensatory 'affirmative action policy' for the deserving lower castes!Upper castes can compete with foreigners in all free areas as they are' highly meritorious' as they claim.Let poor classes alone !Let them have reservation in private sector in peace just to make a living and not for buying a BMW car !Let us also understand that the talk of reservation will be there as long as caste system lives and discrimination continues!'Merit' has no place at all, in the discriminatory Caste System'.Let the Arnabs understand this simple fact.

Monitors With An Edge
When they first came on the scene a few years ago, flat-screen monitors were like the best sports cars: gorgeous but unaffordable. Today, they're more like midsize luxury sedans -- looking sweet as ever, but still not priced like commodities.
I recently tested nine screens in the 15-inch to 19-inch range, splaying them across a desk in my office. People kept stopping by to sample the goods. I turned them away like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld. "No flat screens for you!" I barked. I had research to do. Now, though, I can share my thoughts. All but the cheapest flat panels delivered high-quality images. But I discovered a wide range of features -- some of which may sway your purchase.
Of the screens I tried -- from leading players such as Dell and Samsung and smaller makers such as Planar Systems and AOC Monitor -- my personal favorite was a 17-inch beauty from AOC, the LM729. Elegant and user-friendly, it sported silver trim with a black speaker running across the bottom that served as a visual anchor. The display swiveled 270 degrees, making it easy to show images to people beside you. Prices ranged from $400 to $450 on various Web sites, a great value compared with the typical price of $525.
In the 15-inch class, you can't go wrong with any of the top-selling models from Dell, IBM (IBM ), or Samsung. They're all well-designed, reasonably priced, and offer decent resolution. But each model had at least one unique feature that might win you over. My vote for the most handy goes to Dell, which built 2 USB ports into the side of its monitor. This is helpful for quickly viewing photos or files that you can transfer with any of a variety of tiny storage gizmos designed for just such a use. If adjustability is key, then consider the IBM ThinkVision L150, whose base swivels a full 360 degrees, or the Samsung SyncMaster 153T, whose screen doesn't swivel, but can rotate from the horizontal to vertical position.
Digital media devotees should consider the Samsung SyncMaster 172MP -- a snazzy monitor with several multimedia features. It comes equipped to receive HDTV signals and includes audio and video inputs, including an S-video line, that allow you to hook up your DVD player or VCR to the screen. But all that functionality has a downside: The adjustment controls are confusing. Press one button the wrong way, and the image vanishes, sending you scurrying to the user guide.
At the high end, there are stunning plasma screens from Fujitsu, NEC (NIPNY ), and Samsung measuring 50 inches and up. But prices also can exceed $10,000. Whatever your budget, make sure to test-drive the models in the stores. Seeing really is believing.

Before you invest, you should do your homework. Will you choose to use mutual funds, closed-end funds, ETFs, and/or individual stocks and bonds? Inevitably, your homework assignment will lead you to articles outlining the disadvantages of mutual funds. But are all of these so-called disadvantages of mutual funds really disadvantages of mutual funds? Let's take a look at several so-called disadvantages of mutual funds, and how you can avoid them.
*Disadvantage 1: Mutual Funds Have Hidden Fees
If fees were hidden, those hidden fees would certainly be on the list of disadvantages of mutual funds. The hidden fees that are lamented are properly referred to as 12b-1 fees. While these 12b-1 fees are no fun to pay, they are not hidden. The fee is disclosed in the mutual fund prospectus and can be found on the mutual funds' web sites. Many mutual funds do not charge a 12b-1 fee. If you find the 12b-1 fee onerous, invest in a mutual fund that does not charge the fee. Hidden fees cannot make the list of disadvantages of mutual funds because they are not hidden and there are thousands of mutual funds that do not charge 12b-1 fees.
*Disadvantage 2: Mutual Funds Lack Liquidity
How fast can you get your money if you sell a mutual fund as compared to ETFs, stocks and closed-end funds? If you sell a mutual fund, you have access to your cash the day after the sale. ETFs, stocks and closed-end funds require you to wait three days after you sell the investment. I would call the "lack of liquidity" disadvantage of mutual funds a myth. You can only find more liquidity if you invest in your mattress.
*Disadvantage 3: Mutual Funds Have High Sales Charges
Should a sales charge be included in the disadvantages of mutual funds list? It's difficult to justify paying a sales charge when you have a plethora of no-load mutual funds. But, then again, it's difficult to say that a sales charge is a disadvantage of mutual funds when you have thousands of mutual fund options that do not have sales charges. Sales charges are too broad to be included on my list of disadvantages of mutual funds.
*Disadvantage 4: Mutual Funds and Poor Trade Execution
If you buy or sell a mutual fund, the transaction will take place at the close of the market regardless of the time you entered the order to buy or sell the mutual fund. I find the trading of mutual funds to be a simple, stress-free feature of the investment structure. However, many advocates and purveyors of ETFs will point out that you can trade throughout the day with ETFs. If you decide to invest in ETFs over mutual funds because your order can be filled at 3:50 pm EST with ETFs rather than receive prices as of 4:00 pm EST with mutual funds, I recommend that you sign up for the Stress Management Weekly Newsletter at About.com.
*Disadvantage 5: All Mutual Funds Have High Capital Gains Distributions
If all mutual funds sell holdings and pass the capital gains on to investors as a taxable event, then we have a found a winner for the list of disadvantages of mutual funds list. Oh well, not all mutual funds make annual capital gains distributions. Index mutual funds and tax-efficient mutual funds do not make these distributions every year. Yes, if they have the gains, they must distribute the gains to shareholders. However, many mutual funds (including index mutual funds and tax-efficient mutual funds) are low-turnover funds and do not make capital gains distributions on an annual basis.
In addition, retirement plans (IRAs, 401ks, etc.) are not impacted by capital gains distributions. There are also strategies to avoid the capital gains distributions including tax-loss harvesting and selling a mutual fund prior to the distribution.
There are advantages and disadvantages of investing in each and every investment vehicle. However, if you come across a list of the disadvantages of mutual funds, scrutinize each item on the list and determine if it applies as a disadvantage of mutual funds or a disadvantage of a particular mutual fund or to investment vehicles as a whole regardless of the structure, by Lee McGowan, About.com.

a lot of us think that the flashsideways is actually created by whatever happens in the finale. we first came to this conclusion trying to explain why jack has that mysterious cut. i'm thinking that desmond and MIB have some kind of encounter, which destroys the island, leaving it on the bottom of the ocean. it might be possible that the MIB is now inhabiting desmond (maybe sharing his consciousness, not unlike "being john malkovich") in the flashsideways and that's why he's so eager to get everyone together. maybe this flashsideways was the something "beautiful" locke saw in season 1. the flashsideways also does match up with the promise MIB made syaid in regards to seeing nadia again.
perhaps the real reason that desmond wanted locke to "let go" is so locke will have his legs back and then the MIB can shift to locke's body and jump back into the original timeline as flocke, thereby giving himself the chance to destroy the island once and for all. desmond has proven that he can jump timlines in "before your eyes," so maybe the MIB can use that to his advantage.
i know there's a lot of holes in this theory, as if it follows "bill and ted" logic... but it's the last stab at a crackpot theory i'll ever get to take at "lost" so i'm okay with how silly it is.

Bollywood actors Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone are leaving no stone unturned to promote their upcoming movie Yeh Jawaani hai Deewani, which will release on May 31. Time and again, Ranbir-Deepika are making their appearance at various places to promote the film.
This time, the couple were spotted promoting YJHD at a Parachute Press Conference. As per a daily report, Deepika and Ranbir felicitated the winners of the nationwide 'Tender Love & Care' online contest by Parachute Advanced Tender Coconut Hair Oil. But, during media interactions, the couple was spotted cuddling a baby.
Have a look at the image. The baby is seen standing on the table, while both Ranbir and Deepika are spotted cuddling it. We wonder, who's the kid and what's it doing at the conference. Both Ranbir and Deepika looks in awe of the cute, chubby kiddo.
Directed by Ayan Mukherjee, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, will be Ranbir-Deepika's first movie, post break-up. It is a romantic film, that also stars Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapoor in the leads..

On March 16, 2009, MindBodySoul Yoga Studio began in a small, sweet space on 170th Street and Fort Washington when Alyssa Snow opened the doors for a 7am Hatha class. Our very first class had seven students, and it was the beginning of an amazing adventure. Over the next few months, teachers Stacey Linden, Amy Soucy, Tom Weston, and Ola May joined the schedule. And so began our journey leading yoga classes for the amazing community of Washington Heights. Over the next few years, we grew from offering 15 classes per week with five teachers to a new space hosting over 30 classes per week with 15+ teachers, healing services, teacher training, and a lovely boutique. Our studio hosts a diverse community who come together to practice yoga, socialize and meet new friends, and gain peace in their minds and in their hearts.
Alyssa Snow is the Founder and Owner of MindBodySoul Yoga Studio. She has been practicing yoga for over 20 years, and teaching for over a decade. Alyssa has studied shamanism, kundalini yoga, hatha yoga and vinyasa yoga and is the lead teacher for MBSY's 200 hour teacher training course. Alyssa loves business (a true numbers geek) and, before opening the studio, had a 12 year career in corporate finance and operations. Alyssa is a mom of three daughters, an author, a teacher, a yogi, a shaman and a spiritual business coach. You can learn more about her by checking out her website here.
Stacey Linden has been a part of the MBSY team since before the doors opened. She brought Alyssa a bag of chai tea (her favorite) while the walls were being painted. Deven years and thousands of yoga hours later, Stacey is one of our most popular teachers and is on the teaching staff of MBSY's 200 hour Teacher Training program. Stacey is the General Manager for the studio. She manages the group yoga schedule and the workshop schedule. She is often Alyssa's right hand, as well as her left. She is the mom of Eli, and is a total grammar geek who is not-so-secretly obsessed with chocolate.
Lauren Nelson, Studio Manager has an extensive background in education and is a former teacher specializing in teaching English as a second language. Lauren has a natural entrepreneurial spirit and loves the community-building aspect of her job at MBSY. She is a writer and a yogi, and is currently enrolled in our Teacher Training program. Lauren is passionate about learning the healing arts and the business that supports it. Lauren is totally obsessed with podcasts that expand her consciousness and is a bit of a bookworm - paper books only, please. She makes Alyssa have a proper lunch (with actual dishes), which is always very appreciated.
Callie Dennis joined MindBodySoul Yoga Studio in 2015 as the world's best work study student. Callie's love of the studio and the community made her the best person for the Front Desk Associate position when that became available in 2016. She is warm and loving and friendly, and makes some AMAZING organic herbal teas. Callie is currently enrolled in our Teacher Training program. She is mom to six year-old Zeah, and loves to read tarot cards, cook vegan meals, and create tinctures for health and well-being.

Chippa ready for Pirates clash
Chippa United are hoping for their second consecutive win of the ABSA Premiership League when they take on Orlando Pirates at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
The Eastern Cape side beat Moroka Swallows 2-0 at the Dobsonville Stadium on 14 September while Pirates won their match 1-0 against Bidvest Wits the previous day at Soweto's Orlando Stadium.
United coach, Roger Sikhakhane, who recently replaced Kosta Papic, has said that he is trying to get his squad in the right mental and physical state to make a stronger team.
"In football there is always pressure. Yes we are sitting position nine on the log and the gap between us and the bottom of the table is not big. It's still early days but there is lots of hard work ahead to ensure that we finish on a respectable position," said Sikhakhane.
United are said to be in good spirits and are ready to take on Pirates, who lost the MTN8 finals against Kaizer Chiefs at the Moses Mabhida Stadium last Saturday.
"We are expecting a tough game, but I always prepare my team to their own strengths and not according to whom we are playing," he elaborated.
Good news came for United this week when defender, James Okwuosa, who was out for two weeks due to a knee injury, said he is ready to return to the team, just in time for the Pirates clash.
Pirates have also had a lucky streak this week as Patrick Phungwayo and midfielders Khethokwakhe Masuku, Tlou Segolela, Lehlogonolo Masalesa and Thandani Ntshumayelo are all returning from injury for the clash against United.
Pirates attacking midfielder, Tlou Segolela, has said that his team his confident for Saturday's match, and that they are ready to put pressure on the hosting side.
"The good thing is that we will not stop working. The team is playing well at the moment and we all have to be ready. Unfortunately only eleven players can be on the field and we have to keep working and be ready for the opportunity that will come," he said.

SIS – Where Friday is the New Sunday!!!
Story by Josh Reynolds
Stuart, IA (March 16) – Stuart Speedway will open the gates soon for season number 56, and we can't wait for you all to join us! Unless you've been under a rock all winter you know that we are moving racing from Sunday to Friday nights. While it may have seemed like an easy choice to make, there was quite a bit of time and consideration put into this decision. To say we are excited for this change is an understatement! Hot laps will be at 7pm each night with racing to follow. Prices will stay the same as last year –
Grandstands: Adults $10, Kids 6-12 $4, 5 & under free.
Pits: Drivers $25, Adults $20, Kids 6-12 $10, 5 & under free.
Enjoying your favorite driver slinging clay around the fastest bullring around will be another thing that remains as we will host the same classes as last year. IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars, IMCA Northern SportMods, IMCA Hobby Stocks and IMCA Sport Compacts will be our five mainstays each week. The year kicks off with the Supreme Enduro Series on April 23rd followed by a Test and Tune on April 30th. The regular season is off and running on May 5th as our weekly classes begin points racing. Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks join us on June 16th & 30th with the Micro Sprints and Mod Lites also making appearances at SIS during 2017. There will even be Lawn Mower Racing on June 18th!! Each weekly class will be having a special as has been the case the last few years. Details will be coming out soon on those, but the one that is above and beyond is the Ron Little Memorial. This year will see a 2 day show on September 22nd and 23rd. This race has been a must attend event in the past, and we're gearing up for it to be far and away the best Ron Little Memorial to date!
Last but not least, our website has undergone an overhaul and with it you'll notice a few new things. This year we have an all new Online Driver Registration! This will help speed things up on the first night, and we encourage you to fill it out ASAP. Even if you are planning on coming to SIS later in the season or for a special, please take advantage of this. Anything to help speed things up at the window is a good thing! Thank you to TSWD for the great website work!
Thank you for visiting the site and we'll see you on a Friday night soon!

No, it's not rocket science, and yes, the key is to put the jeans on before your boots, but there's still more than one way to wear boots with your jeans.
1. The Stack
Simple: do nothing. Put your boots on, pull your jeans over the shaft, let 'em stack up on top of the boots. Ideally, you don't want wrinkles running all the way up your legs; instead, leave an extra couple of inches to your inseam and you'll end up with nice honeycomb fades
Works best with: slim denim
2. The Micro-Cuff
Also simple – you know what, they're all simple. In this case, you turn up the hem of your jeans – but not by much, just enough to leave a sliver of well-worn selvage denim showing. Vary this by accompanying it with a stack, or with a jean hemmed to a shorter length to show off the shaft of your boot.
Works best with: slim-straight jeans
3. The Regular Cuff
Cuff your jeans once. Done.
Works best with: slim, slim-straight jeans
4. The Double Cuff
For a thicker cuff, turn your hem over twice and your jeans should sit just at your ankle. This is an easy option that will look nice with most boots.
Works best with: slim-straight or straight jeans
5. The Triple Cuff
Not too hard – roll it up one more time. It'll give you a thicker cuff, and although this looks good with heavy boots, I also like it with sleeker silhouette and taller shaft.
Works best with: a straighter-legged pair of denim so that the bigger cuff doesn't overwhelm the leg of the jeans.
6. The Narrow Roll
Make like you're rolling a single micro-cuff, and then keep going as high as you like. Wear the hem low to stack on top of your boots, or pull it high for a cool silhouette.
Works best with: straight or relaxed denim.
7. The Railroader
Only for the dedicated: instead of making small cuffs, turn your hem inside out and pull the cuff halfway up your shin. This has the potential to be massively rad or not rad at all – you need to back it up with an outfit that meshes well.
Works best with: stiff, straight-leg jeans and heavy boots (like engineer, combat, or service boots).

Drachnik is among more than 100,000 consumers conversing with friends and family over a cable line, the same one that provides his TV shows, rather than the traditional copper phone wire.
Â"There has been no change in sound quality,Â" said Drachnik, who lives in Fremont, Calif., and works for a company that sells semiconductor equipment. He's even saving some money on his monthly bill.
In growing numbers, cable companies are offering phone service, spurring new competition in a market dominated by the Bells. As many as 7 million customers could get their phone service from cable companies within five years, up from about 130 thousand who are expected to have it at year's end, according to telecommunications consultants.
To offer phone service, cable companies must upgrade their cable lines and add certain devices found in a traditional phone network. These improvements benefit all cable customers, even those who aren't phone subscribers, says Mike Luftman of Time Warner Cable.
The tricky part is getting people to trust their phone lines to a cable company, particularly if they have had poor cable television service in the past.
While people may be able to handle their cable TV going off for a few hours or even days, they don't want that kind of uncertainty with their phone lines, says telecommunications consultant Carol Mann.
Â"People want to pick up the phone and have a dial tone, period,Â" Mann said.
Cable companies say they are working to overcome the public perception about lackluster reliability and service in the industry.
Â"One of the big barriers to cable telephony was the poor reputation of cable television service as a whole,Â" said Ellen East of Cox Communications. She said her own company's strong service record has enabled it to bring in 80,000 local phone customers, half of whom buy more than one phone line, she said.
And while the systems have had some outages, East says they are no worse than those of traditional telephone companies. Â"I think the difference is we're under a lot more scrutiny because we're the new guy,Â" she said.
Some competitors say cable telephone service is technically feasible, but it could pose challenges as more customers are added to the network.
Â"There is a serious question of deciding how many customers you want to have on every neighborhood node, said BellSouth spokesman Bill McCloskey. Too many people on the same system means they could all be at risk of losing service if te system becomes overloaded, he said.
But cable companies are plunging money into research and testing to bolster their networks. The investment could pay off, with cable companies usurping 15 percent of the market now held by the regional Bell companies in the next decade, according to Howard Anderson, managing director of the Yankee Group research irm in Boston.
So far, cable companies have targeted just a few markets. Cable operator MediaOne offers its local telephone service in metropolitan areas, like Atlanta and Boston, with about 40,000 phone customers.
AT&T, which is poised to offer local phone service over its newly acquired cable lines to millions of customers in a few years, has the benefit of a name customers already associate with telecommunication. Using telemarketing alone, the company has signed up 15 percent to 30 percent of customers called in its test markets, said AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel.

As part of the school improvement journey, each school will engage in a process to determine a learning focus in three areas: achievement, well-being and equity. These three areas are clearly connected: equity is the foundation on which student achievement and well-being are built.
This professional learning journey is characterized by important dialogue which includes some of the following questions:
The School Improvement Process relies on the ability of leaders to provide coaching, facilitate learning and monitor progress. It is also predicated on the ability of those in formal leadership positions to share leadership. Through the School Improvement Process, this approach will allow us to create enhanced learning cul-tures in which all staff have a leadership role, and this will in turn improve equity, responsiveness and engagement.
