"Waiting For The Train After Work And Being Followed On & 0ff The Train"
It was a bright sunny day in the late 1970's on my way home from work in Manhattan heading to the subway station. I waited for the # 2 train at the Fulton Street Station.
I noticed a guy staring at me…looking very strange, now there is nothing wrong with another guy staring at me, because that's something I couldn't avoid. But this particular guy had a certain look about him that made me very uncomfortable.
I wore sunglasses to avoid his stare and not to look nervous.
The train finally came, anxious to take it hoping that the guy didn't get on it.
I kept praying. "God please let me get to my destination safe.
I really don't like the way this guy is staring at me.
He is acting very strange."
There was about 10-12 passengers waiting for the train that evening.
As I entered the train sat at the corner where two people can sit, the guy stood at the door staring, even though I had my sunglasses on trying to avoid him, knowing that he looked like a
loony, I started to read my new testament book.
The train stopped so I got off the train to enter three cars away from the car I was in. Didn't know what happened. The train stopped at another station for about 10 minutes before it moved.
As I looked up the guy entered the same car, sat opposite me staring.
OK! Now my heart was beating so FAST! Scared as hell!
Wishing for him to get off the train.
That's when I convinced myself that he was really following me. I didn't know what to do. I kept wondering if I should get off the train, but my instincts told me to stay on the train because it
would be worse if I got off.
Now! Here comes my stop to Franklyn Avenue in Brooklyn. I got off the train walked so fast to get away from the guy I tried not to look back so he wouldn't think I was scared. So I entered a store where I usually purchase from and told the owner I was being followed. Described the clothing the guy wore, the owner of the store went out to look for the guy, but he didn't see the guy.
I tried calling my husband to meet me, but no one answered the phone.
I felt a little better, so I left the store headed to my home. I didn't see the guy anymore, felt a sense of relief.
As I arrived in front of my home I was astonished, he entered the same building coming towards the elevator. Now I know this guy didn't live in the building. Everyone knew each other in this building. I tried to act brave but I was scared as hell! I told him what the F! Are you following me for?
With God on my side my husband got off the elevator. He had a small broken porcelain lamp in his hand to dump.
I was happy to see my husband.
I told him the guy followed me from work. My husband approached the guy cursing with the broken porcelain lamp in his hand. Well you know what went down! The guy got scared and said he wasn't following me and ran. Which was a big lie, he was too OBVIOUS!
The next day I was a nervous wreck, couldn't go to work, hoping that the guy didn't show up again to bother me, so I called in sick, I became a nervous wreck from that experience. It took me a while to get over the incident.
My husband had to meet me after work until I got over the fear.
I'm telling you this story and I'm getting flash backs from the incident. I still remember the guy face.
After that experience I took Karate classes to learn to protect myself.
The lesson I learned from this incident is to be on your guard wherever you go, to be aware of your surroundings and people on the train, bus and streets. There are too many crazy people on the train and bus. You have to be able to identify the difference of when someone is looking at you because they admire with innocent thoughts or evil thoughts in their mind.
I have to say God was there for me and he sent my husband just on time to protect me.
Always have faith in the LORD!
We All Have to Stay Alert Whenever We Travel On The Train.
Another tip! Do not fall asleep on the train. You may miss your stop, this happened to me before and it wasn't a pleasant feeling. Why? Because I ended up at a deserted stop, in the winter which was a bit dark and scary. So take my advise and stay awake be alert always, especially when traveling on The Train in Brooklyn, NY and New York City.

My favorite movies are comedies...especially Will Ferrell's. My children are my true passion. I enjoy the simple things in life...feeling the sun on my skin, a cool breeze while sitting under a tree, sitting around a campfire stargazing. I like to play a lot of sports with my kids like soccer, baseball, football, volleyball. But when they're not around, I really haven't anyone to do that sort of stuff with. Essentially I'm looking for someone to have fun with. And no that is not code for anything. :) But I do believe any good match begins with fun and friendship.
Movies: Love comedies and martial arts movies. Big fan of Jason Statham and how can I forget Bruce Lee (Enter the Dragon). Love I'm Gonna Get You Sucka, Big Trouble in Little China and Urban Cowboy. Favorite movie has to be a toss up between Talladega Nights and Anchorman. But my all time favorite movie is Dances with Wolves (it kind of strikes a spiritual chord with me). Oh! And The Jerk.
Shows: Big Bang Theory, Happy Endings, Friends :)
Music: All kinds, Gypsy Kings, Jesse Cook, Brian McKnight, Bob Marley, Janis Joplin, Coldplay, The Smiths, KOL, Lumineers, Jack White, Silversun Pickups, Lady A, George Strait, Patsy Cline, Waylon Jennings, Randy Rogers Band, Matisyahu, Young the Giant, Atlas Genius, Katy Perry, Michael Kiwanuka, Ryan Adams, Arcade Fire, Stoney LaRue, ZZ Ward, my favorite is 90's Hip Hop and R&B :)
Food: Seafood, Italian, Mexican, Sushi, Mediterranean
My cowboy boots
If you were asking for #7 and 8, they'd be the scruff on a mans unshaven face and deep passionate kisses.
Oh, I'm also addicted to The Big Bang Theory.
Oh and I like to read profiles in reverse, I start from the bottom and work my way up. :)
I cry every single time I watch Polar Express or Elf. :)

The term warlock is often used to denote a male witch and some male witches embrace it though many consider it a derogatory term. Some witches use this term to name someone who has betrayed or broken the rules of his or her coven, who does not follow the Wiccan Rede or who practices black magic. The term warlock means "oathbreaker".
The word descends from the proto-Indo-European *wēr-, meaning "true" which gave way to the Old English wǣr, meaning "promise" and loga meaning "lie".

I'm trying to chose an adc to play and I can't decide between the three in the title! My playstyle is generally either passive-aggressive farmer or hyper-aggressive uber-annoying poker. My favourite solo tops are elise and teemo, my favourite mids are viktor and zed, my favourite support champion is lulu and my favourite junglers are amumu and zed (again). I'm asking this because I need to play at least one ADC role and I would greatly appreciate the help of this community :)
I mean passive-aggressive as in playing very passively and simply farming until a favourable opportunity rises to make a play.

1D fans 'spoiled' girl's fun after she nicked Niall's knickers
The mother of the One Direction fan who stole Niall Horan's pants claims other fans have ruined a "wonderful moment".
A girl named Ashleigh Sokie revealed on Twitter and Instagram that she was "keeping" Niall's underwear after being asked to wash his clothes by her boss, who owns the house the 'Story of My Life' singer was renting in Augusta, Georgia, during the Masters golf tournament, in which he caddied for Rory McIlroy during the par three tournament last Wednesday.
However, the 20-year-old college student has since deleted her social media accounts after being trolled by defensive Directioners and her mother Maria has now spoken out to claim they've "spoiled it" for her.
She said: "She is 20 years old, at college and has a new job and she was so excited when she discovered she'd be looking after Niall.
"She's a huge One Direction fan, especially Niall. But after posting the pictures there's been a lot of negativity.
"The other fans have spoiled it. She says they have ruined a wonderful moment."
In addition to taking the Irish hunk's pants, Ashleigh also posed for a photo whilst wearing one of his polo shirts, but Maria thinks it's unfair she's been attacked, despite the invasion of his privacy.
According to The Sun newspaper, she said: "People are calling her bad names and wishing bad things on her.
"She is so upset."

Silver Scrolls With Royal Icing? How Do I Do This?
Decorating By bates123 Updated 2 Sep 2010 , 5:07pm by thatslifeca
I was thinking of doing a cake with black fondant with royal icing scrolls. I'd like the scrolls to be silver. Do I have to hand paint the scrolls with luster dust and vodka, or is there a way to make the royal icing silver before scrolling the cake?
Not sure how to make royal icing silver, but I always hand paint the scrolls with luster dust and vodka.
You could maybe pipe out the scrolls with a RI that's tinted light gray...that might require less painting to get a silver color????
It's usually best to do a very light grey for silver, just like you should do yellow for anything your'e going to paint gold. I thnk you're going to have to paint the RI once it's on the cake.
I wish I had tinted it grey first. I just painted the scrolls with luster dust and vodka and it just wasn't silver. To me, it just sort of made the scrolls look dirty. Well, the cake is not bad, but I was disappointed in the lack of silver look I was going for.
I have to do gold trim this weekend. I sure hope is shows up better.
Thaks for all of your help cake central friends! I couldn't make it without you!
you may have diluted the luster dust too much. It should come out extreme silver. If you have time try it again you can paint over the old dust.
I usually purchase the powdered colours from Squires Kitchen, they have a beautiful silver that I just mix in with the RI and it seems to get shinnier when it dries.

Fort Bragg: US Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, a former Taliban prisoner in Afghanistan, has been formally charged with desertion and misbehaviour before the enemy, and faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted of the most serious count, the Army said.
Bergdahl's attorney, Eugene Fidell of Yale Law School, said the Army had charged Bergdahl on Wednesday and scheduled an Article 32 investigation, similar to a ground jury proceeding in civilian law, to determine whether there was sufficient evidence to proceed with a court-martial on the charges. The initial hearing is set for April 22, he added.
Bergdahl, 28, was released from Taliban custody last summer in a controversial prisoner swap that saw five Taliban prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, transferred to Qatar, where they were required to remain for a year.
Bergdahl disappeared on June 30, 2009, from Combat Outpost Mest-Lalak in Paktika Province in eastern Afghanistan and was subsequently captured and held by the Taliban for five years, spending some of the time locked in a cage. He disappeared from the outpost early one morning after doing guard duty. It became apparent he was missing when he failed to show up for roll call, but his gun, ammunition and body armour had been left behind.
An initial wave of euphoria over Bergdahl's release was followed by a backlash among US regulators, angry because they were not given 30 days notice before the transfer of the Guantanamo prisoners, as required by law. Some of Bergdahl's former Army comrades said they believed he deserted his post.
The case has been under review by General Mark Milley, head of US Army Forces Command, who was asked to look at the circumstances surrounding Bergdahl's capture.
As a result of the review, Bergdahl was charged with desertion with intent to shirk important or hazardous duty and misbehaviour before the enemy by endangering the safety of a command, unit or place, an Army spokesman said at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where General Milley is based.
The desertion charge carries a maximum prison term of five years, while the misbehaviour count carries a maximum term of life in prison, he said.
Bergdahl currently has an administrative role in an office at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, where the Article 32 investigation is scheduled to take place. A spokeswoman at the base said it would be up to the lawyers to determine what would happen to Bergdahl now that he has been charged.

Wimbledon: Marion Bartoli reached her second semi-final beating Sloane Stephens
Marion Bartoli reached the Wimbledon semi-finals for a second time with a 6-4 7-5 victory over Sloane Stephens.
Last Updated: 03/07/13 2:22pm
In a topsy-turvy match that had a two-and-a-half hour break for rain and countless breaks of serve, 2007 finalist Bartoli finally put paid to the last surviving American.
The French woman, who lost to Venus Williams in the final six years ago, applied most of the pressure early on but Stephens hung on to her serve and then had two chances to break for 5-4 but could not take either.
After the rain delay, Stephens - poised at deuce on her own serve - promptly found herself facing a third set point.
This time she could not save it as a long rally ended with Stephens chasing down a Bartoli drop shot but seeing the ball bounce off the net and into the tramlines.
The second set proved to be a remarkable affair with 10 of the 12 games won against the serve.
Bartoli was the first to gain the advantage, moving into a 2-0 lead, but it merely set the tone as three times Stephens retrieved breaks, but could not hold onto her own serve.
However, when Bartoli served for the set at 5-3 the American inevitably broke again and then held for what proved the only time in the set for 5-5.
But Bartoli held too and swiftly moved 40-0 up on the Stephens delivery, clinching victory at the first opportunity with a cross-court forehand winner.
The 15th seed will play Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium, seeded 20, for a place in the final.

20. Great Barrington, Massachusetts
This quaint Massachusetts town brings visitors from all over the state as well as day-trippers from Connecticut, New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire. It's also the birthplace of W.E.B. Du Bois, who helped found the NAACP.
The community sits under the beautiful gaze of the Berkshires and has a naturally warm and welcoming atmosphere with cute shops and boutiques lining its historic streets. One of the best features of Great Barrington is the availability of modestly priced real estate in a very friendly area of the state. Great Barrington is a destination for travelers far outside of Massachusetts, so its welcoming nature is known far and wide.
Real estate website Trulia suggests that the median sales price for homes in the first quarter of 2014 hovered around $265,700 and that most properties for sale or which sold in the area ranged from about $320,000 to $340,000.
Because of Great Barrington's location on the western side of Massachusetts, the average temperatures enjoyed by residents are a little lower than those experienced by many of the best towns along the coast.
The Weather Channel's data suggests average temperatures during the day in the low 30s during the winter, but the nights get particularly cold with lows that almost reach the single digits.
The town seems particularly committed to ensuring its residents lead a green lifestyle and has an extensive section on its official website detailing eco-friendly and earth-friendly procedures for energy, water use, and recycling.
Residents and visitors are also treated to some lovely outdoor opportunities with travel website Trip Advisor suggesting that hiking the Monument Mountain trail and visiting the Housatonic River Walk are two of the most enjoyable natural pursuits in the area.
Visitors may enjoy Great Barrington in the summer with the beautiful weather, or they may travel to the town in the winter for snow activities at Ski Butternut.

IBM has formally created an Internet of things business unit on Monday and appointed Harriet Green, the former CEO of Thomas Cook Group in the UK, to lead the new division. Green, 53, has been named vice president and general manager of the new IoT division and will soon oversee a unit that will eventually comprise more than 2,000 consultants, researchers, and developers that take advantage of IBM's Watson, analytics, and cloud.
In March, IBM CEO Ginni Rometty announced that IBM (ibm) would invest $3 billion over the next four years in this new unit, working with partners and IBM's cognitive technologies to help clients understand data in the emerging Internet of things space. Green will also head up IBM's new education unit, which will formally launch later next year.
When it comes to the Internet of things, IBM has never let the chance to issue a press release slide. Big Blue has been helping clients take advantage of data generated by connected sensors for quite some time, and has for years had several projects focused on the Internet of things. Last year it created a cloud service called IoT Foundations that acted as a sort of data escrow service, where two companies could store and then share their data online in a secure environment. Two years ago researchers at IBM introduced a graphical user interface for programming the Internet of things called Node-RED that is still in use in organizations today. IBM also released a physical gateway and a protocol for the Internet of things in 2013 called MQTT.
Earlier this year IBM teamed up with ARM to make it easy for engineers to connect any device using ARM's embedOS operating system to the IoT Foundation service with just a few lines of code. This means that developers building physical products can now send data to IBM's cloud for analytics with little effort, whether they are making a few prototypes or selling millions.
Clearly Green, as the new hire, is going to take on a well-established practice when it comes to IBM's Internet of things efforts. Big Blue hasn't been sitting on its hands, but I still can't wait to see how it brings Watson into the fold. There is a lot of opportunity to add more intelligence to the Internet of things once more devices are connected to each other. In many cases, that intelligence should be local and on the ground, where real-time decision-making is crucial.
For example, if a sensor sees a sudden rise in temperature, a local computer needs to have the ability to signal the machine to stop in order to avoid overheating, as opposed to simply sending that data back to the cloud, waiting for the decision to be made, and sent back to the machine. As IBM delves deeper into the Internet of things, it will be interesting to see how Watson AI affects developments in both the cloud and in local settings.
Green is the third high-profile hire of a former CEO by IBM in recent months. Last week, former Philips Healthcare CEO Deborah DiSanzo was named as General Manager of IBM's Watson Health unit and last year, IBM hired Jeff Smith as the company's CIO to lead IBM's internal digital transformation. Smith was CEO of Suncorp Business services in Australia.

Ok so Im a black man and I am attracted to women of all races Also there are a lot of pretty white girls at my college but I don't know how to approach them. Also there are some people who stereotype black guys saying that they are violent, thugs rude and disrespectful. But not all black guys are like that even me Im a sweet caring person Im also helpful to others and treat people with respect and I like having fun I can be shy sometimes but Im still friendly. I also hope to become a mechanical engineer after I get my degree. I also have strong feelings for this girl name Taylor and she's white and we knew each other almost 3 months and we do talk a lot sometimes like during class and after class plus she is very cute and kind her eyes are pretty and so is her hair. I do want to ask her if she would like to go to the movies with me but Im thinking that she will turn me down because im black. So do white girls find black guys unattractive? Should I ask her out or not?
Most Helpful Girl
I'm only half white so I guess only half my opinion will really count lol. I think black guys are attractive. I think any race is attractive as well. As long as you present yourself nice and your kind then being black should not be considered a"turn off".00|00|0
hahah, you WHOLE opinion counts
Haha awesome! :)

NCP engineering has announced the availability of a new entry version of its IPsec VPN client suite compatible with Apple's Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 (Intel) and Snow Leopard 10.6 operating systems. A powerful yet easy-to-use VPN solution, the NCP Secure Mac Client enables remote workers to securely connect to their corporate networks—with a single click. It supports strong authentication and features NCP's Path Finder technology, which is used in conjunction with the NCP Secure Enterprise Server. It also includes a personal firewall and FIPS inside, which is important for the setup and encryption of IPsec connections.
Key New Features
* The NCP Secure Mac Client supports the Extensible Authentication Protocols (EAP) MD5 and Transport Layer Security (TLS). Companies that use 802.1x-enabled switches or Wi-Fi access points can further prevent unauthorized users from entering local area networks (LANs).
* NCP has also integrated a split tunneling mode into its IPsec VPN client. Split tunneling allows for concurrent connections to target systems within the Internet and to the company network through the VPN tunnel. This new configuration regulates which DNS requests are directed through the tunnel, and which are blocked or allowed to bypass it.
* IT administrators can directly share hotspot log-on details and roaming policies with remote employees. They can put these common end-user FAQs on a local HTML page on the NCP Secure Mac Client's interface, to try and reduce the number of helpdesk calls.
* The client gives remote staff daily VPN configuration and management tips and feature information via the HTML page on its interface. NCP Secure Mac Client users choose whether or not to activate this feature, and whether to display it on the client interface or in a drop-down menu bar.

The Mission Critical Communication Company
Ascom's corporate strategy focuses on four key elements:

We see mission-critical communication as comprising client-specific communication solutions that optimally address time-critical requirements in the daily business and function quickly, reliably and smoothly even in extreme conditions.
The products and solutions of the Wireless Solutions and Security Solutions divisions are used in situations where continual, comprehensive monitoring, quick reaction times, the highest security standards and absolutely error-free transmission of data are essential. Our clients must be able to identify critical situations at an early stage so that they can immediately implement the necessary measures. Our solutions also contribute to improving the cost efficiency of operations by ensuring optimal communications.

As part of the concentration on the two divisions Wireless Solutions and Security Solutions, internal processes will be reassessed and additional improvements and simplifications made.

Growth at receiver, preparing to face a top punter and recalling last season's loss to Purdue are among the topics in today's Hawkeye 10@10, your daily dose of Hawkeye news and notes.
Appearing each weekday at 10 a.m. at hawkmania.com, here is today's Hawkeye 10 @ 10:
1. Don Shumpert grabbed a pair of critical passes last weekend against Wisconsin and is now among seven Hawkeyes who have caught at least 10 passes this season.
The senior has averaged 9.7 yards on his 10 receptions.
"Shump was kind of hobbled a little bit for a couple of weeks there, but last week he was able to practice full speed again and did a really nice job,'' Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "He made a couple of nice grabs. We need everybody right now, we need seniors, freshmen, everybody.''
2. The Hawkeyes are not spending a lot of time talking about the chance to become bowl eligible this week.
"Really, all we're worried about is winning this week,'' offensive lineman Brandon Scherff said. "That's really the bottom line for us. Win this week. Then win next week. That's the approach we are taking.''
3. Iowa's field position will be dictated in part Saturday by one of the nation's top punters.
Purdue's Cody Webster leads the Big Ten and ranks 10th nationally with an average of 44.8 yards per punt and with the struggles the Boilermakers have had on offense this season, he has had plenty of practice.
Webster's 49 punts are the most of any team in the Big Ten and he has placed 18 attempts inside the 20-yard line and has covered 50 or more yards 13 times.
4. Linebacker James Morris hasn't forgotten the sting of Purdue's 27-24 win at Iowa a year ago, one of two games the Hawkeyes lost on last-second field goals as part the trials of a 4-8 season.
"It was part of a very difficult time for our program that we have worked hard to turnaround since last November,'' Morris said. "Our focus is on moving forward, because we can't change what happened. We've tried to learn from those experiences so that we do not repeat them.''
5. Purdue is starting three true freshmen and sent 18 freshmen onto the field last week against Ohio State.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said that doesn't change the degree of difficulty in preparation this week.
"There is a lot of give and take there, so I'm sure they're going through that, too,'' he said. "We have to be ready for their best.''
6. With receptions in 27 consecutive games, Iowa senior C.J. Fiedorowicz ranks second among active tight ends in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Only Washington's Austin Seferian-Jenkins, with catches in 33 straight games, has a longer streak.
Fiedorowicz has 77 catches for 337 yards over that 27-game stretch.
7. Quarterback Danny Etling arrived at Purdue in January with some lofty credentials.
The four-star recruit is the first true freshman to start for the Boilermakers at the position since Sean Robinson opened at quarterback in 2010 and is just the second since Brandon Kirsch in 2002.
Etling was ranked as the ninth-best pro-style quarterback in the country a year ago by Rivals.com and ESPN.com ranked him 12th in the same category.
It's been a rough debut for Etling, who made his first start on Oct. 12 against Nebraska. He has completed 60-of-128 passes for 674 yards for three touchdowns. He has been intercepted five times.
8. Iowa continues to expect to be at full strength Saturday.
Coach Kirk Ferentz said during his radio call-in show Wednesday night that quarterback Jake Rudock and running back Mark Weisman should be good to go against Purdue after leaving last week's game against Wisconsin because of injury.
Both were expected to return to the practice field earlier this week and Ferentz said he expects both to play against the Boilermakers.
9. Iowa has won twice at Ross-Ade Stadium since 1991.
The Hawkeyes defeated Purdue there two years ago 31-21 and won in 2005 by a 34-17 score, giving Iowa a 2-4-1 record in their last seven visits including a 21-21 tie in 1994 that was the last tie game the Hawkeyes played before college football instituted an overtime procedure.
10. In an attempt to engage fans, Purdue has implemented two activities to involve the public prior to games.
The Boiler Bridge Walk gives fans a chance to meet and greet players on Fridays before home games. Players and coaches take part in a walk across a pedestrian bridge across the Wabash River in downtown Lafayette.
On game days, coach Darrell Hazell joins the Purdue marching band, cheerleaders and mascot at the 211 Session, a rally of sorts that begins 2 hours, 11 minutes before kickoff at nearby Mackey Arena.

The skies thankfully cleared this weekend for the Raptor Fest held at the Boyd Hill Nature Preserve nestled in urban St. Petersburg, Florida on the shore of Lake Maggiore. This was the Preserve's first Raptor Fest, admission and parking were free, and
it was a great success with over 1100 folks in attendance throughout the day. There was something going on for everyone.
There were a number of activities and events offered for all age groups including a bird walk, raptor education programs, free flight raptor demonstrations, Native American storytelling about raptors and more. Steve Hoddy of EarthQuest (www.EarthQuest.org) put on a terrific show with various birds including a Peregrine Falcon which he free flew for an enchanted crowd. He also wowed the crowd with an Andean Condor. Several licensed falconers were on hand with their birds for an exhibition, to answer questions and offer photo ops. Many people brought cameras and everywhere you looked there were photo ops with live birds of prey. There were a number of rehabilitators and environmental exhibits from around the State providing valuable information for their organizations including FWC, local Audubon societies, Eagle and Osprey Watch, Save all Birds and others.
Boyd Hill is a 245-mile park made up of six miles of trails and boardwalks. It's one of the stops on the Great Florida Bird and Wildlife Trail and made up of variety of unique ecosystems. This park boasts 165 bird species, 50 butterfly species and 60 species of reptiles and amphibians. The Lake Maggiore Environmental Education Center has various exhibits, educational programs and its own aviary with rehabilitated birds of prey. Join a free bird walk the first Saturday of each month at 8:00 am. Consider taking the entire family to Boyd Hill Nature Preserve for a visit and mark your calendars for next years Raptor Fest.

The stock is down more than 4% in early trading following an earnings report that showed the large-screen theater company — which has been on a roll so far this year — barely missed the Street's profit expectations. IMAX reported net earnings of $2.6M, up from a $1M loss in the same period last year, on revenues of $55,6M, up 23%. Adjusted earnings came in at 6 cents a share, shy of the 7 cents that analysts expected, although the revenue number beat forecasts for $54.3M. IMAX says that it took a $700,000 charge to install equipment that enables some of its theaters to play digital or analog versions of movies including Warner Bros' The Dark Knight Rises. Investors have become bullish on IMAX — driving its price up 28.6% in 2012 — as ticket sales recovered from the dismal performance at the beginning of 2011. IMAX's box office sales in Q1 rose 66% to $19.1M. The company says that's due in part to a "halo effect" from Paramount's Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, and its shift to fanboy films from family ones. Films scheduled for this year include Marvel/Disney's The Avengers, Sony's Men In Black 3, Fox's Prometheus, and Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man. The company installed 26 theater systems in Q1 and struck deals to build 23. That brings its backlog of construction projects to 261. IMAX had 510 theaters in commercial multiplexes, up from 386 a year ago. "2012 is off to a strong start," CEO Richard Gelfond says. "We are still in the early stages of our international expansion, and our pipeline of new theatre deals remains robust. We believe that the IMAX platform is becoming increasingly important to our business partners and consumers, and we look forward to bringing The IMAX Experience to more and more audiences around the world."

How our funds work
UCLH Charity exists to support the work of UCL Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Our work covers a vast range of specialisms and we know that most people choose to support us for a particular reason.
That's why we run a large number of funds that can only be used for specific wards, departments or areas of research, so that donors can support the area that interests them most or has touched their lives.
We make sure that the money is used as effectively as possible, by working closely with the senior staff associated with each fund. They know best what will make a difference to their patients and choose how the money is spent.
And because our investment income covers the Charity's central costs, we can guarantee that 100% of the donations received are used for charitable purposes.
Here are just some of the wide-ranging initiatives that you can provide funds for.

Aspasia To Pericles - Poem by Edward Henry Bickersteth
I still would pen some hurried lines
To ask thy weal—my friend—of thee,
Although thy memory's faintest chords
May wake no thought which tells of me.
Forbid that I should e'er perplex
One moment of thy bright career,
Yet pardon woman's weaker sex,
And wipe from woman's eye the tear,
I dreamt I saw thee wan and pale:
Ah! 'twas a dream I would forget,—
Yet still its hauntings make me quail;
My heart's pulse fails—mine eyes are wet.
Ah! say, does pain or sorrow dwell
Around thy couch—thy peaceful hearth;
Has dire disease or phantom spell
Scattered its mildew o'er thy path?
Yet should it be too much to ask
One line my fainting heart to cheer,
Forget the all-unwelcome task,
And be remembrance buried here!

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Tournament Central | Match Notes
The Cowgirl volleyball team will take its undefeated start to the season on the road for the first time, traveling to Spokane, Wash., for the Gonzaga Invitational on Sept. 4-5. They will face the Gonzaga Bulldogs, Montana Grizzlies and Utah Utes.
To open the tournament UW will take on host Gonzaga (2-1) on Friday night at 5 p.m., in the Martin Centre. The Cowgirls will then compete against Utah (3-1) and Montana (2-1) on Saturday at 1 p.m., and 6 p.m., respectively.
Behind stellar defensive play from a number of Cowgirls, including senior libero Allison Waldvogel, UW swept through the Rumble in the Rockies tournament during the opening weekend of the 2015 season. Waldvogel, the espnW national player of the week and MW Defensive Player of the Week was also named MVP of the tournament, while junior's Kayla Slofkiss and Laura Beach joined her on the All-Tournament team.
"This past weekend was a great way to start," UW head coach Chad Callihan said. "But we want to focus on the next match. We have one singular focus at the moment and hopefully we are all on the same page with that."
The Cowgirls upset then-No. 14 Ohio State in front of 2,317 fans in the Arena-Auditorium before defeating South Dakota and Butler to finish off the tournament. Freshman middle blocker Reed Copeland had quite an impressive first weekend as a Cowgirl. She began her career with 12 total blocks against the Buckeyes. Copeland currently sits atop the MW in blocks with 21 total for an average of 1.91 per set. Laura Beach recorded the highest block total for the Cowgirls during the 2014 season with 10 against Utah State. Copeland's 12 total blocks against the Buckeyes was the highest for a Cowgirl since Erin Kirby record 13 against UC-Riverside in 2013.
"We have Gonzaga, Montana and Utah this weekend and they are all very good defensively," Callihan added. "It will be a challenge for us to find ways to score against them. We are somewhat familiar with these teams we have ahead so I hope we learn from past experiences and come out ready to play."
Gonzaga will provide tough competition for UW as they returned all their starters from a team that went 17-12 a year ago. Senior Savannah Blinn led the WCC in kills last year before earning All-America honorable mention. The Bulldogs were picked to finish fourth in the WCC at the beginning of the year and started the 2015 season by hosting the Eighth Annual Northwest Challenge. They went 2-1 over the weekend with their loss coming against No. 10 Washington before defeating Portland State and Boise State. Blinn is the offensive leader for Gonzaga with 50 kills and an average of 4.55 per set. Freshman setter Faith Smith has a team-high 62 assists after the first weekend, while junior outside hitter Emmy Allen has 14 total blocks for the Zags.
Montana began the 2015 campaign under new head coach Brian Doyon at the Falcon Classic. They defeated Air Force and Northeastern before getting swept by New Mexico State. The Griz return five starters from last season with the addition of West Virginia transfer Hannah Sackett. Redshirt senior Capri Richardson started every match for the Griz in 2014 before earning second team all-conference accolades. Sackett leads the Griz offensively with 44 kills for an average of 3.67 per set. Richardson is next in line for UM with 27 kills to go along with 10 total blocks. Redshirt freshman Rachel DeArman has 76 assists, as redshirt junior Sadie Ahearn has 53 digs.
Utah will enter the weekend with a 3-1 record. They claimed victories over Idaho State and Cal State Northridge last weekend at the Utah Classic before defeating Utah State on Tuesday night. Their lone loss came from Lipscomb. Utah was picked to finish 10th in the Preseason Coaches' Poll with sophomore outside hitter Adora Anae one of the 14 players named to the Preseason All-Pac 12 team. The Utes are led offensively by Anae with 70 kills, averaging 4.67 per set. She is followed by Eliza Katoa with 44 kills and a 3.14 kills per set average. Junior libero Tess Sutton leads the Utah defense with 58 digs on the season for an average of 4.14 per set, as senior setter Kendall Cygan has 102 assists for the Utes so far this year.


text: Gencaro Data in Atrial FibrillationClinical data from BEST, a Phase 3 trial in 2,708 patients with advanced heart failure, indicate that Gencaro may have a potentially enhanced and pharmacogenetically-influenced effect in reducing and preventing atrial fibrillation. In that trial, patients in the Gencaro arm demonstrated a reduction in the risk of new onset atrial fibrillation time to event compared to patients in the placebo arm of 41% (atrial fibrillation measured as an adverse event/serious adverse event or as detected on surveillance ECGs, time to event analysis, p = 0.0004). In a 1,040 patient DNA substudy of BEST, Gencaro exhibited pharmacogenetic enhancement and differentiation for atrial fibrillation prevention in patients with a specific genotype (beta 1389 arginine homozygous (Arg/Arg) adrenergic receptor (AR); approximately 47% of the patients). These patients experienced a 74% (p = 0.0003) reduction in risk of atrial fibrillation versus no detectable reduction in patients who had alternative genotypes (beta 1389 Gly carriers; 53% of the patients). The Company believes this data supports the potential ability of Gencaro to prevent atrial fibrillation in patients who have the genotype the Company believes responds most favorably to Gencaro. In prior placebo controlled trials in chronic HFREF, most studies comparing beta-blockers to placebo have detected a positive signal for prevention of atrial fibrillation, with an event rate reduction averaging approximately 27%, even though atrial fibrillation had not been a pre-specified primary or secondary endpoint in these studies. Currently, no beta-blocker has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the prevention of atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients. Gencaro Phase 3 Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Trial The Company plans to conduct a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind clinical trial of Gencaro in approximately 300-400 new onset atrial fibrillation patients with HFREF. The Company believes the planned study will provide important clinical data on the safety and efficacy of Gencaro in this patient population and additional information on the pharmacogenetic selectivity of Gencaro. The primary endpoint of the trial will be time to recurrent symptomatic atrial fibrillation after electrical cardioversion. The atrial fibrillation development program was recently presented by Dr. Bristow at the Heart Failure Congress 2011, organized by the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology.

Should We Preach Like a TED Talk?
Strive to be memorable, but let God and his Word change lives.
Average Rating: [see ratings/reviews]
TED talks have become quite a phenomenon. There are now thousands of short talks by world experts available on the TED website, and because so many of them are captivating and memorable, people are asking "How can I speak as persuasively as a TED speaker?" More specifically for preachers, we sometimes hear or ask: How can I preach like a TED speaker? Because if you see the tagline for TED talks—"Ideas worth spreading"—as a preacher you might think, We have the best idea worth spreading that there is! And you're right. Then we think of the attractiveness and audience pulling power of a TED speaker, and we begin to dream.
But for preachers, there will always be a prior question: "Should I even try to speak as persuasively as a TED speaker?" Because at the back of our minds is, or should be, Paul's devastating critique of rhetoric in 2 Corinthians, which although it is arguably the most rhetorically sophisticated of his letters, is stinging in its attack on people who want to be "impressive." And TED speakers aim to be impressive.
Carmine Gallo has written a book titled Talk like TED: The 9 Public Speaking Secrets of the World's Top Minds (Macmillan, 2014), in which he aims to lay bare the communication lessons of these astonishing lectures in Technology, Education, and Design (the TED elements). He did the same work a few years ago on Steve Jobs' presentation style. He distills the lessons, and illustrates from the best of the TED talks (although he misses my personal favorite, "Leading Like the Great Conductors" by Itay Talgam). Gallo backs the rationale for the nine findings by way of scientific research on the chemistry of the brain.
Here is Gallo's list of the top nine lessons that speakers can learn from TED talks:
- Unleash the master within. Engage the subject you're speaking about with passion because passion is contagious.
- Master the art of storytelling. Stories stimulate the brain and make it more likely that hearers will identify with your point of view.
- Have a conversation. Practice relentlessly until you can deliver effortlessly. If there's a disconnect between content and presentation, people will not engage.
- Teach me something new. Reveal something new, packaged differently, or offer a new way to an old problem.
- Deliver jaw-dropping moments. Offer a shocking, impressive, or surprising moment that is so moving and memorable it grabs attention and is imprinted on the memory.
- Lighten up. Use humor, which lowers defenses and makes you seem more likeable.
- Stick to the 18 minute rule. This rule will help you avoid the cognitive backlog of too much information. (If you're speaking 20 minutes or longer, use 10 minute chunks.)

I'm not convinced that the goal of TED Talk speakers is to be impressive! I think they want to be effective, which is what I hope to be when I preach. Good article, good points. I would say I already do half, at least. (Not sure anyone would say I even unleash something "jaw dropping," although to me the gospel always is!) Thanks!
Wayne McDonald
Excellent commentary, highlighting the good of TED talks/methodologies while warning of the easily-abused dangers. Very helpful! Thanks, Chris!
Brother Chris, thanks for your balanced and well-thought out evaluation of the "TALK LIKE TED" article. I do agree with your approach. However, I might add that prayer is an essential part of the preacher's preparation for the Holy Spirit to do His divine and transforming work in the hearts of our listeners. That's one of the most important areas we preachers need to be very diligent and fervent, as was the case in the days of Charles Spurgeon. I am sure you know and practice. You can check my ministry website at http://www.yesuli.org. Thank you and God bless you and keep up the good work.

Employee Management: When to Fire and When to Require Rehabilitation
As efficient as it may seem to fire employees who are engaging in substance abuse, especially in a weak job market where plenty of potential employees are available, it is actually more expensive and costs your company more resources.
In a book by Walter F. Scanlon, he describes the social acceptance and rejection of EAPs (Employee Assistance Programs), which help employees with problems causing poor job performance. These programs include help with drug addiction, alcohol addiction and temporary setbacks.
Scanlon describes how labour unions are likely to view EAPs with suspicion and distrust because of the system already in place to settle disagreements: the management-labor union bargaining table. Employee assistance programs can look like a way around this bargaining table; a resource which management can use to circumvent accountability to the union. [1]
However, EAPs have been found useful in delivering consistent productivity and goal achievement within the company. Is there a difference between internal and external EAPs?
Yes. Scanlon says that in-house assistance programs are far more cost-effective than external programs. The cost per employee can be reduced to less than $100 per employee. This model only is applicable if the company is in one location and the company culture fits the requirements of the model. In other circumstances, the employee program would be better suited if it is contracted out to an outside provider who handles problem resolution and cost containment. [1]
Now, the question arises of when to fire and when to require rehabilitation. Since 1, Company costs are reduced by using an employee assistance program and 2, the program must be custom fitted to the needs and ergonomics of the company location, using an employee program seems to be the better choice when dealing with initial offenders. However, employees who need help with their job productivity and refuse to exploit the benefits of such a program may be too far gone to remain a liability to the company. Many people would rather alter, or at least work to improve, their behavior before losing their income. If this is not the case, you may need to begin looking for a replacement. [1]
It is important to employ quality drug and alcohol testing services within your business, and it is especially important to use excellent testing equipment. CMM Technology offers saliva and urine drug testing equipment and alcohol testing equipment. Contact CMM Technology today: +618-9204-2500.

Planning a wedding can be stressful for any bride-to-be, particularly if you don't have the right support around you.
Typically it's the duty of the bridesmaid to make sure all of the bride's needs are met and that the experience--from the bridal shower to the ceremony--is an enjoyable one. But in the case that one doesn't have a viable candidate up for the challenge, one business provides that service for you.
Bridesmaid For Hire promises to "transform your wedding party and to-do list--either virtually, behind the scenes, or up there with you on the altar."
Founder, Jen Glantz, considers herself a professional bridesmaids, having been held the coveted title for six weddings by 26. Her expertise gave her the clever idea to turn her know-how into a business--one that would relieve anxious brides.
In addition to handling the logistics, Glantz, unlike a wedding planning, provides emotional support and reminders on things like stretching out your shoes for the big day. The business service also handle speech writing for the ultimate sappy vow, style advice and even dance tips.
Though the business is stationed in New York City, Glantz said she'll travel wherever the bride-in-need is located--for a fee of course.
Interesting business idea if you ask us.
Would you hire a bridesmaid service if your friends couldn't step up to the plate? Sound off.
