How does your business stand out?
Liberation, Confidence, Self-Acceptance and Better Sex! These are the benefits of Boudoir photography and they last a lifetime. Ive seen shy girls lose their inhibitions. Ive seen brave women shed tears when they saw how amazing they looked. Ive seen women fall in love with their own scars. It truly is a transformative experience and Im proud to be a part of it.
What do you enjoy about the work you do?
If youve been on the fence, waiting until youve hit some weight loss goal, Ill tell you right now, whether youre 120 pounds or 300, you are still the same person, and deserving of all these benefits. By all means, keep working toward your goal but dont equate losing weight with having value. You are beautiful right now.

I am a musician/instructor who wanted to have a website that would showcase my music and serve as a resource for students who wished to view lesson material online in order to reinforce concepts learned in their lessons. I had worked with Steve Gracy before on several musical projects and knew him to be a renaissance man - very creative with a knowledge of quite diverse subjects. When I found out he did web design, I figured that he would be a perfect match, and I wasn't disappointed. Steve is an idea man. If you know what you want, then he will stay out of your way and just do the job. But if you aren't quite sure what you're after or are indecisive (like me), Steve can guide you in the right direction and often suggest ideas that you might not think of. I'm very pleased with the work he did for me, and now we are doing a bit of redesigning to incorporate new ways of presenting my material that I did not the technological ability to do before. By the way, he's also a funny guy. Not that it matters, but it makes the brainstorming sessions fun!

Gracy Studios built my website, (www.absolutekarate.net). Mr. Gracy was very professional and easy to work with. He worked hard to create a website that not only looks good, but is easy for users to navigate. My business has increased over 60% with new students due to the website. I highly recommend Gracy Studios to anyone thinking about starting up a new business or improving their existing business. His rates were very reasonable. And if you dont know just how you want your website to look like, then trust Gracy Studios to come up with a modern look that will make your website stick out from the rest.

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I keep my pricing very simple. A photo session is $350 with no time limit. Images and printed products are sold separately and include editing and retouching. Everything is a la carte, so you only buy the images and products you really love.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I keep things very simple so the process isn't too intimidating. I always walk my clients through step by step, helping with outfit ideas, guiding them through poses, making it a fun experience. I want to make sure I understand their needs and make them as comfortable as possible. Many of my clients have never done a boudoir session before and are a pleasant mixture of excitement and nerves, so I always start my shoots out with a bit of a warm up to get things going. And it doesn't usually take too long to get them loosened up. Having great music playing on the system is always a big help and I have a very casual atmosphere in the studio. Having a cocktail or two before and during the shoot is common as well.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have spent thousands of hours honing my craft and done hundreds of shoots. I'm completely self-taught and have developed a style that's very unique and edgy, especially for this region.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I spent most of my life as a hobbyist until about 4 years ago when life threw some curve balls at me. I took that opportunity to throw myself completely into photography and try all the things I always wanted to do. I was very honest with myself and decided to just go for it. I've always loved bold, edgy, in your face, sexy imagery and I've made it my goal in life to impact people with my work with no apologies. I think that decision has made me the photographer I am today and helped me become a more genuine human being. I love what i do and i wouldn't trade the experiences I've shared with my clients for aything in the world
What types of customers have you worked with?
All ages, races, shapes, sizes, walks of life have come through my studio. College girls, Moms, Career Women, Grandmothers, they all come with a common goal: to feel beautiful, sexy, vital and confident.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
Most of my sessions last anywhere from 2-4 hours. A recent shoot I had was with a young lady who has been on a mission to create the body she's always wanted and had recently recovered from a back injury. It was her first time ever doing any kind of photoshoot and she was very nervous but extremely excited. She was just a bundle of energy and extremely fun to shoot. Once we got her warmed up the images were coming out beautifully, and the look in her eyes when I showed her the back of the camera was priceless. She had seen my work but she really wasn't expecting to look as amazing as she did. I see that a lot. Most women don't realize just how beautiful they are, and I never get tired of showing them.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Choose a photographer by their images first, their personality second and their price third. You're guaranteed a good fit and great results if you do things in that order.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
While it's not necessary to have a fully formed idea in your head when you come to me for a shoot, it's definitely helpful to have a path in mind that you'd like to take. I love a challenge and bouncing ideas back and forth always brings great results. In my opinion the best questions to ask yourself before you make the plunge are "What do you want to get out of your shoot?" and "What's more important to you, price or quality"

shotgun help needed
Hi, I am in a wheelchair and want to try to shoot shotgun at our local club. They don't have guns to try, so I am looking for a recommendation. Possibly 20 gauge, youth model? Are there any made for women? Any help appreciated. Cheryl
you could check out mossberg model 500's bantam models. most should be under 300 after taxes depending on your location. what would be the main purpose of the shotgun, skeet, hunting or just plain shootin the time away?
If you aren't adverse to a single shot, the New England Firearms 20 ga youth model can be gotten for 'bout $200 or less. :D
Browning makes a nice 20 ga.youth-model pump that we use on hunter safety field days. This firearm is bottom eject so it work well right or left handed. Although, normally an auto loading shotgun will give you less felt recoil.
Don't ever be afraid to ask a shooter at the range if you might try their firearm out. All they can do is say no but chances are they will be very obliging. Gun owners are like that. Shoot Straight and Be Safe, HJ
Let me help?
Thanks Mike
The Remington 870 or 1100 in 20 gauge with youth stock would be my choices off the top of my head.
Thanks to RugerMike for volunteering his expertise. RugerMike, if you can would you post a few of the broad strokes that might be considered when choosing a youth/special challenge gun. If the process doesn't lend itself to general information I understand completely.
Cheryl, welcome to the community. Have fun.
I have emailed Mike for his help. I welcome others suggestions also. Thanks so much for the replies so far. Cheryl

This is a pretty huge blow to fans of wrestling, but also to fans of awesome humans in general. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, the legendary wrestling star and actor, has passed away at the age of 61. Piper had previously been struggling with cancer, but according to early reports, his death was the result of a cardiac arrest.
This is absolutely harrowing news: iconic actor and living legend Harrison Ford has been critically injured in a plane crash. The plane crash-landed in Venice, California today and Ford was subsequently rushed to the hospital where his condition is currently critical. Ford, who's been reprising his role in the new series of Star Wars films and recently signed on for the long-gestating Blade Runner sequel, is 72 years old—making his enduring dedication to these franchises even more remarkable.
Here we go! After being teased in seven-second increments earlier this week, we have the first full, official trailer for the newly-titled 'Furious 7,' which wastes absolutely no time getting right into the bonkers action, with a car being parachute-dropped onto the road during one of the crew's missions, and Paul Walker's Brian being rescued from a harrowing episode on the edge of a cliff by Michelle Rodriguez. And that's only a fraction of what we see in this trailer.
Are you guys ready for Comic-Con 2014?

Italy is holding up the works on the EU renewal of Russian sanctions. Politico Europe reports:
Sanctions were set to be extended on Wednesday, but that did not happen after the Italian government instructed its ambassador to raise objections during a closed-door meeting of EU countries' delegates, which was supposed to approve the extension without much political noise.
On Thursday, the 28 EU ambassadors met again, but the delicate topic was not put to vote for a second time as Italy signaled it wouldn't change its position, diplomatic sources told POLITICO.[..]
[T]he silent vote […] was supposed to deliver one message, according to diplomats: The EU will keep up sanctions as long as the situation in eastern Ukraine is unchanged, but without blaming Russia publicly.
Renzi has now forced leaders to do exactly that. Italy wants Europe to take Russia's military help in Syria into account when discussing sanctions, a source said.
There's a great deal of speculation as to what Renzi wants. According to Politico, many think it's just some time in the limelight. Others suspect he wants the Russian sanctions eased—or he wants to appear to want that.
Here's what we do know: Italy's economy is hurting, badly, and the Russian sanctions have weakened it even more—for instance, in Milan, where Russians were wont to spend their money on fashion. So at the very least, the Italians probably want their pain taken into consideration, and to see their Prime Minister raising the issue. More substantively, although it's unlikely that the Italian government will undermine the sanctions regime entirely, officials may desire some offsets from other EU members to ease the pain, either built in to the sanctions regime overtly, or granted through other initiatives.
Either way, keep an eye on this dynamic. The Russian sanctions will continue to be in play, the Italian economy isn't poised for a dramatic recovery, and so stories like this will likely continue to crop up.

This set of Linear Integrated Circuit Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on "Current to Voltage Converter".
1. The output current equation for MC1408 digital to analog converter would be
a) Io= -(Vref/R1)×[(D7/2)+(D6/4)+(D5/8)+(D4/16)+(D3/32)+(D2/64)+(D1/128)+(D0/256)] b) Io= (Vref/2R1)×[(D7/2)+(D6/4)+(D5/8)+(D4/16)+(D3/32)+(D2/64)+(D1/128)+(D0/256)] c) Io= (Vref/R1)×[(D7/2)+(D6/4)+(D5/8)+(D4/16)+(D3/32)+(D2/64)+(D1/128)+(D0/256)] d) Io= -(Vref/2R1)×[(D7/2)+(D6/4)+(D5/8)+(D4/16)+(D3/32)+(D2/64)+(D1/128)+(D0/256)] View Answer
Explanation: MC1408 is a combination of a DAC and current to voltage converter. If the binary signal is input to MC1408 DAC then the output current would be,
Io= (Vref/R1)×[ (D7/2)+(D6/4)+(D5/8)+(D4/16)+(D3/32)+(D2/64)+(D1/128)+(D0/256)].
2. Determine the maximum value of output current of the DAC in MC1408?
a) 0.773×(Vref/R1)
b) 0.448×(Vref/R1)
c) 0.996×(Vref/R1)
d) 0.224×(Vref/R1)
View Answer
Explanation: The output current of DAC is the maximum when all the inputs are logic 1.
Therefore, Io= (Vref/R1)×(1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+1/128/+1/256)=(0.996)×(Vref/R1).
3. Determine the range or the output voltage?
a) 0 – 2.51v
b) None of the mentioned
c) 0 – 3.74v
d) 0 – 4.93v
View Answer
Explanation: When all binary input D0 through D7 are logic 0, the current Io =0.
∴ The minimum value of Vo =0v.
When all the inputs are at logic 1, Io = (Vref/R1)×(1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+1/128/+1/256)= (3/2kΩ)×(0.996) =1.494mA.
Hence, the maximum value of output voltage is Vo= Io×RF = 1.494×3.3kΩ =4.93v. Thus, the output voltage range is from 0 to 4.93v.
4. Calculate the change in the output voltage if the photocell is exposed to light of 0.61lux from a dark condition. Specification: Assume that the op-amp is initially nulled, Minimum dark resistance = 100kΩ and resistance when illuminated (at 0.61lux) = 1.5kΩ.
a) Vo –> 23v to 50v
b) Vo –> 0v to 33.11v
c) Vo –> -1.653v to 8.987v
d) Vo –> -0.176v to -11.73v
View Answer
Explanation: The resistance RT in darkness is 100kΩ. The minimum output voltage in darkness is Vo min = -(Vdc×RF)/ RT = -(3.2v×5.5kΩ)/100kΩ = -0.176v.
When photocell is illuminated, its resistance RT =1.5kΩ. Therefore, the maximum output voltage is Vo max = -(Vdc×RF)/ RT = -(3.2v×5.5kΩ)/1.5kΩ =-11.73v.
Thus, Vo varies from -0.176v to -11.73 as the photocell is exposed to light from a dark condition.
5. Which cell can be used instead of a photocell to obtain active transducer in photosensitive devices?
a) Photovoltaic cell
b) Photo diode
c) Photo sensor
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: A photovoltaic cell is semiconductor junction device that convert radiation energy into electrical energy and hence it does not require external voltage.
6. If the input applied to DAC using current to voltage converter is 10110100, determine the reference voltage (Assume Io= 2mA and R1=1.2kΩ)
a) 53.1v
b) 3.41v
c) 9.21v
d) 67.34v
View Answer
Explanation: Io=Vref/R1×[(D7/2)+(D6/4)+(D5/8)+(D4/16)+(D4/32)+(D4/64)] Vref =(Io×R1)/ (1/2+0+1/8+1/16+0+1/64+0+0)=(2mA×1.2kΩ)/0.703 .
=> Vref = 3.41v.
7. The current to voltage converter photosensitive device can be used as
a) Light intensity meter
b) Light radiating meter
c) Light deposition meter
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The photosensitive device can be used as a light intensity meter by connecting a meter at the output that is calibrated for light intensity.

Cheese-Wrapped Olives (Bollitas)
Recipe by skat5762
These savory little appetizers are geared to please the olive-lover in the crowd. Can be frozen before baking. If doing so, place directly into oven from freezer and extend the baking time by just a few minutes. Recipe from a clipping, author unsourced.
Top Review by P48422
These are really terrific! I made them exactly the way the recipe stated, froze them and everything, served with mango salsa - oh! Wonderful! Then I took the liberty of playing around with this and found some great modifications: sub feta for the cheddar and cream cheese for the butter and use pitted Kalamata olives; sub in parm for the cheddar and use large green olives; or sub in pepper-jack cheese for the cheddar. All pretty tasty! Thanks very much, S'kat! These are a great make-ahead appetizer. I have thoroughly enjoyed testing them!
See Discussion:11 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 1⁄4 teaspoon paprika or 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1⁄2 cup flour
- 24 garlic-jalapeno stuffed olives (or pimento-stuffed green olives)
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In bowl of food processor, combine cheese, butter, paprika/cayenne, and flour.
- Process until smooth.
- Take about 1 Tablespoon of crumbly dough and place in the palm of your hand.
- Place one of the olives in middle of dough.
- Cup your hand to begin fixing dough around olive.
- Roll between palms of hands until dough is smoothly wrapped around olive.
- Sometimes the dough gets a little crumbly, rolling faster helps a bit, and you can stick dough onto any'naked' areas and roll until smooth.
- Repeat until all olives have been wrapped.
- Place onto oiled baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
- Due to the amount of cheese in the batter, these will be rather greasy when they emerge from the oven.
- Remove from baking sheet and place between paper towels to remove grease.
- Serve with dipping sauce of choice (I used a mango salsa).
- Note: Upon making these recently, I discovered that the preferred method should be to freeze these on a baking tray for about 3-4 hours before baking. This allows the texture of the 'dough' to remain firm around the balls when baking. Of course if you don't have the time, they are still just as tasty the first way... the balls just don't hold up quite as well in the oven.

i've been talking to this boy for a few weeks now. whenever we hangout, we act like we're together...in a cute way. but when we're talking and stuff I feel like I have to initiate everything, whereas in person, he initiates things. how does this work? I feel like I'm bothering him when I text him/call him. I'm falling for him hard, but I don't know if he feels the same way. what do I dooo?!
Most Helpful Girl
a lot of guys do not like texting much. they mainly use it for practical things like asking where and when to meet or why someones late. he may ask for directions via text or something similar but to have back and forth conversation it doesn't seem to be a priority to many. some guys don't like talking on the phone but if the guy is interested in you, most likely he will put in an effort to do these things. he may just be a flirt or if he is interested in a relationship with you he is just bad at showing it. bring it up with him in person when you know you have his full attention and ask him what the deal is (not in an offensive way, because he will get defensive) but if you ask him and are straightforward with him then he will probably give you a straightup basic honest answer.00|00|0

6th Martin's Day Wine Festival
Patron saints of gastronomy moving into Hotel GellértThis year the judge of new wine, patron of winemakers, that is St. Martin and the patrons of gastronomy are summoned in Danubius Hotel Gellért at the most exciting Martin's Day program series of Hungary, on November 10-13. All halls and rooms of the elegant and tarnished hotel will be by permeated by the myth of patron saints of Czech beer, cooks, waiters, matured cheese and wine makers – welcoming guests with exciting food, drinks and programs.
This year the worthily popular wine festival of Hotel Gellért reached a turning point, as in 2016 we celebrate the Saint Martin memorial year, on the 1,700th anniversary of his birth. On this occasion the traditional, already four days long 6th Martin's Day Wine Festival summons several saints of gastronomy and arts. The event builds programs on new thematic each year, this time though we shall have an experience more unique than ever, as not only can we taste the best wines and matching dishes, but can also learn about the patron saints of cooks or matured cheese.

Prices of all commodity resins are rising, especially steeply for PP and PS. Feedstocks are the apparent culprit.
Polyethylene resin prices moved up 3¢/lb in June and July, reflecting full implementation of suppliers' June increase after a similar hike in May. However, two 4¢ increases that were to go into effect July 1 and Aug. 1 had yet to be implemented by mid-August. The London Metal Exchange (LME) North American short-term futures contract in blown-film butene LLDPE for September was 45.5¢/lb, up from 41¢ for July and 44.9¢ for August.
Contributing factors: Pricing pressure from ethylene monomer and a rebound in exports to China were the impetus for summer price hikes, according to senior editor Mark Quinner of Houston-based PetroChem Wire. Robin Chesshier, director of client services at purchasing consultant Resin Technology Inc. (RTI), Fort Worth, Texas, notes that PE exports were up 30% in June but fell back 50% in July. In early August, Chesshier saw partial recovery and expected further export gains this month. Domestic demand remains poor, except for food and medical packaging.
For August, RTI projected PE resin tabs to remain mostly flat but September and October could be affected by possible increases in resin exports and feedstock prices and potential production problems during the hurricane season.
Polypropylene prices were expected to move up 4¢/lb last month, following a 3¢ increase in May and an 8.5¢ jump that was mostly in place by early July. The LME short-term futures contract on g-p injection-grade homopolymer for September rose to 46.5¢/lb from August's 44.9¢ and July's 38¢.
Contributing factors: PP resin tabs have tracked the upward movement of propylene monomer prices. "This has all been feedstock driven. For the year to date, demand continues to be off—by 15% in the first quarter and 13% in the second quarter," says Scott Newell, RTI's director of client services for PP.
Monomer is very tight and contract prices moved up 8.5¢/lb in June and 1¢ in July to 41¢/lb. Initial agreements for August contracts called for a 4¢ increase, according to Quinner at PetroChem Wire.
PS prices in June and July went up a total of 7¢/lb. All PS producers announced a further 6¢/lb increase for Aug. 1, which reportedly met little resistance. Ineos announced an additional hike for Aug. 15 of 4¢ for crystal and 5¢ for HIPS, while Americas Styrenics announced 5¢ and 6¢ hikes respectively for that date.
Contributing factors: Contract benzene soared unexpectedly from $2.92/gal in June to $3.65 in July. Spot prices rose as high as $3.80 because of the unexpected jump in crude oil. In mid-July benzene futures were down to $3.25.
As of mid-August, the contract price of PVC for July was expected to settle 1¢ to 1.5¢/lb higher, on top of a 1.5¢ bump in June and, in some cases, a penny in May. PVC producers all announced a 3¢ hike for Aug. 1. Westlake posted a further 3¢ for Sept. 1, while OxyChem and Georgia Gulf posted a 2¢ hike for that date.
Contributing factors: PVC demand, especially for pipe, is very weak. In mid-August, contract ethylene hadn't settled for July or August, though the market expected a two-month settlement at 29.5¢/lb, down from 33.5¢ for June. Spot ethylene was about 25¢, and supply was expected to be ample. The motivation for the price hikes was weak margins for caustic and chlorine.
Bottle-grade PET tabs were expected to jump 3¢/lb last month, following a 1¢ rise in June. Suppliers want 3¢ to 4¢ more on Sept. 1.
Contributing factors: Higher feedstock costs are to blame. Paraxylene rose from 47¢/lb in July to 51¢ in August. Ethylene glycol moved up from 30.4¢/lb in July to 34.8¢ in August. Combined, these hikes create 3.4¢/lb higher costs for PET resin makers. "Another increase in raw materials worth 3¢/lb in resin cost is more than likely this month," says one PET maker.
Industry sources expect PET demand this year to grow no more than 1%, after a decline last year. While demand is flat in carbonated soft drinks, bottled water is growing 2% to 3%, as are salad dressings, ketchup, salsa, pickles, mayonnaise, and spices.

It was tarter than the average preparation, tinted green from copious dried mint and swirled into a divet filled with bright, yellowish olive oil. The yogurt could have made enough smoothies for a brass band, and it was packaged up with a generous selection of green olives, pink pickled turnips and pickled chile peppers -- garnishes you pay for, albeit not much, at other Middle Eastern haunts.
Like enchiladas, pesto pasta and red beans, the Middle Eastern cuisine that's prolific in New Orleans has the comforting effect of home cooking even for people whose own china has never hosted a chick pea. Common seasonings such as lemon juice, garlic, cinnamon, mint and parsley are familiar to the typical American palate; staple dishes like labna, hummus, lentil soup and spit-roasted meats taste unpretentious and homespun whether the cook is from Lebanon, Turkey or, in the case of Jerusalem Deli, Palestine.
Given the homespun quality of all Middle Eastern food, then, it's saying something that I haven't sat down to homier Middle Eastern meals than the ones served at Jerusalem Deli. The quantity-to-price quotient factors in, and so does the view into the kitchen where a woman in traditional head-to-toe Islamic dress works amid bottles of orange and rose flower waters. Her food brims with olive oil, salt, aromatic seasonings and a little something extra that tastes like love.
She didn't invent the idea of sauteing lamb bits and spooning them over hummus, but she fries her onions extra caramelly for this common dish, and she stirs in a mother lode of pine nuts. Stuffed grape leaves look and taste like slender cigars, earthy and mulch-like on the outside. The rice-stuffed meatless version is seasoned so profoundly with allspice and pepper that a vegetarian at my table was convinced that hers contained beef. Foule, a thick stew of partly mashed fava beans, pulses with lemon, garlic and fruity olive oil. And the rib-sticking, tomato-based lamb stew with yellow rice is something warm to stick in your cap for the winter months.
Clearly no profits have gone toward hiring a janitor: in contrast to the thriving food, the bare-bones dining area and retail space are dusty in places and chipped in others. But if that's what it takes to keep prices at rock bottom, bring it on. Paying $7 total for a tabouleh salad and a falafel-hummus sandwich is like stumbling upon an outlet store for Aveda products. The tabouleh glorifies parsley, mixing heaps of the grassy leaves with crumbs of bulghur wheat, onion and tomato -- all dampened with olive oil and lemon juice. The falafel is bland, although even unexceptional falafel isn't bad. For the sandwich, these not-bad fried chick pea balls are smooshed into pita pockets with tomato, cucumber, green bell pepper and a smear of hummus.
The hummus is quiet on its own -- mostly tahini and chick peas, not much garlic or lemon -- and baba ghanoush (charred eggplant puree) is all fluff and no smoke. Jerusalem's pita bread is no better than what's available in the supermarket, which is only disappointing if you're addicted to the fresh-baked pita at Mona's or the focaccia-style loaves at Babylon Cafe.
I took a table on my subsequent trips and ate primarily in the company of single gentlemen. The Arabic speakers paged through newspapers that look like artwork to the rest of us, and they watched Arabic news broadcasts on a television you can hear from the sidewalk. Another man caught up on a week's worth of calls, in English. There's a guy glued to his cellular phone in every laid-back neighborhood joint, and Jerusalem Deli is truly as much a neighborhood joint as it is a Middle Eastern one.
Learning that the unsweetened, rose-flavored Lebanese iced tea had been made with Lipton was as much a surprise as hearing that those illegible Arabic newspapers had come from Chicago. Jerusalem Deli was one of the city's first Middle Eastern restaurants when owner Dirar Mousa opened it 15 years ago. If it was exotic then, it's part of the landscape today, feeding the city's expanding affection for a cuisine that's similar in spirit to the soul food of every nation.

European stock markets climbed for the first time in four sessions on Tuesday, supported by earnings reports coming from companies such as Orange SA, pharmaceutical firm Bayer AG, and oil giant BP PLC, to name a few.
Several positive earnings reports across various sectors and countries contributed to this upbeat trading day, with pulp and paper maker UPM-Kymmene Oyj ranking as the top gainer in the Stoxx 600 after jumping 10 percent. It reported a 34 percent surge in operating profit after its decision to sell its Schwedt newsprint mill site.
BP PLC rose to 2.9 percent after reporting fundamental earnings ahead of predictions. This recovery in oil prices was due to a broadly weaker U.S. dollar that helped the energy sector. Gains were capped, however, as countries Saudi Arabia, Iran and Kuwait announced output increases, causing more global supply glut concerns.
French oil and gas major Total SA and Italy's ENI SpA both edged up 0.48 percent and 0.14 percent respectively. Norway's Statoil shares, however, slid 0.66 percent lower, opposing the uphill trend.
French lenders Societe Generale and BNP Paribas climbed 0.66 percent and 0.83 percent, while Germany's Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank rose 0.56 percent and 0.83 percent. Italian peripheral lenders Intesa Sanpaolo and Unicredit gained 0.79 percent and 1.56 percent respectively, while Spanish banks Banco Santander and BBVA inched up 0.46 percent and 0.56 percent.
Bayer AG NA jumped 1.05 percent after a reported 15.7 percent increase in core earnings for the first quarter.
Safran saw shares gained 1.20 percent after the engineering company claimed revenues climbed 7.8 percent in the first quarter.
FTSE 100 advanced 0.11 percent, supported by gains in the energy sector in London. Royal Dutch Shell added 0.23 percent in its shares, while rival company BP surged 2.39 percent despite a pretax loss of $865 million in the first quarter of the year.
Barclays inched up 0.01 percent HSBC Holdings dipped 0.01 percent, while the Royal Bank of Scotland rallied 0.08 percent and Lloyds Banking rose 0.71 percent.
Whitbread claimed a 5 percent increase in pretax profit and raised its dividend by 10 percent, sending shares in the hotels and coffee-shop operators up 3.26 percent.
British American Tobacco gained 2.31 percent after revenue rose by 1.7 percent in the three months to 31 March.
While the financial stocks were gradually heading higher, the mining stocks, however, were broadly lower.
Glencore lost 1.24 percent and Rio Tinto dropped 1.30 percent, while Bhp Billiton declined at 1.67 percent and Anglo American tumbled 2.78 percent.
The aforementioned earnings beat analysts' estimates as the pound rallied to its highest in six weeks against the euro. Investors, meanwhile, evaluated whether they rushed in estimating the predictions of Brexit.
Asian equities cut their losses, as the yen and U.S. Treasuries advanced with the New Zealand dollar before central bank meetings this week. Malaysia's ringgit toppled after a state-owned investment fund withdrew an interest payment on its bonds. Copper fell for a second day and crude oil traded below $43 a barrel. The colder weather increased demand as natural gas in the U.K. climbed to the highest since mid-January.
The Federal Reserve will have the conclusion of its two-day monetary policy meeting on Wednesday and while no change in interest rates is anticipated, investors remain cautious.
According to City of London Markets trader Markus Huber, European equity markets are trading higher on positive business earnings surprises from companies. Ahead of the Fed meeting starting later this day, Huber also added, "Many traders are at least temporarily moving their overall exposure to more neutral from previous negative, consequently closing some of their short positions."

Met lit.opg. SISO 650.2 UDC 621.3:678.4 Trefw.: eindige elementen methode / rubber. ISBN 90-5282-055-4 Abstract A Eulerian approach is applied to the finite element modelling of neo-Hookean rubber material. Two major problems are encountered. The first problem is the construction of a n algorithm to calculate stresses in the rubber material from velocities instead of displacements. This problem is solved with a n algorithm based on the definition of the velocity gradient. The second problem is the convection of stresses through the finite element mesh. This problem is solved by adapting the so-called Taylor-Galerkin technique. Solutions for both problems are implemented in a finite element program and their validity is shown by test problems. Results of these iinplementations are compared with results obtained by a standard Lagrangian approach finite element package and good agreement has been found. -iv- -V- Table of Contents O. 1 . 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Time for my boyfriend to go
Dear Maura
My boyfriend has been living with us for the past year but the relationship is coming to an end for me.
I'm 22 and going in to my second year in college.
I enjoy my course and I've met some great people.
The problem is that he came to stay with us because his home situation was really bad.
He had huge rows with his dad and things got really rough.
It was my mom who suggested that he could stay with us for a while until he got sorted.
I guess he just got comfortable with us.
He had a nice family situation in our house and he got lazy.
My parents felt sorry for him and after a while they stopped asking him about finding somewhere to stay.
I'm bored with the same routine.
It's almost as if we are married.
He has a job he doesn't really like.
He doesn't do anything else.
When I come home from college he wants to go out but I need to study or I've had a busy day and I don't feel like doing anything.
The thoughts of going through all of that again!
I want to go away next summer and already he's asking me to stay with him.
He needs to move out but how?
This 'good Samaritan' gesture has essentially hemmed you into a relationship that you are now weary of.
Your parents' help was very generous but misplaced.
They needed to push your boyfriend to take control of his own life beginning with finding a place of his own. You need to talk to them and explain what is happening for you in the relationship.
Clearly you have moved on so much in your life with college and all that goes with that experience.
You can't fully embrace all your potential at the moment. I feel for your boyfriend and all that he has had to deal with.
However, he needs to resolve any issue he has with his family. Nothing can be gained by continuing with this relationship feeling as you do.

Based on this experience we have established a program that is intended to weave what we have learned about the nature of Southeast into a holistic approach to landscape ecology.
In 2005 we embarked on our first field excursions in this effort as part of the Sitka Conservation Society's (SCS) Tongass Ground-truthing Project . During June and July our two top naturalists Richard and Bob employed rapid survey techniques in about a dozen watersheds ranging in location from Chichagof to Prince of Wales islands. We collected information on a variety of species and habitats in each system that support taking a serious – ground-truthed - look at the challenge of restoring and maintaining healthy ecosystems while providing opportunities for sustainable development.
Since 2005 we have visited additional sites on Prince of Wales Island, Kuiu Island, Kosciusko Island, Mitkof Island, Baranof Island and Chichagof Island. During that time the focus of the Ground-truthing Project has shifted to concentrate more on the restoration of salmon and deer habitat in previously logged watersheds and identifying forest types and watersheds that are the most suitable for long-term timber management. Thus our partnership with SCS in this work has become more and more in harmony with the collaborative mission of SEAWEAD.
In 2007 a new project was started in partnership with the Southeast Alaska Conservation Council (SEACC) called the Hoonah Community Forest Project. For this effort we are taking what we have learned from 3 years of ground-truthing across the Tongass and applying it in the development of a guide to resilient landscape design for the forested landscape immediately around Hoonah, Alaska.
We have many partners and supporters in this effort and our goal is to create an information pool for each audience to draw from. At present some of the key concepts we are looking at are: ecosystem services, habitat connectivity, high-grading/proportionality, habitat restoration, tree-farming, habitat enhancements and habitat buffers.

Tongass Conservation Strategies
The Tongass Land Management Plan (TLMP) is the primary document used to manage public lands in Southeast Alaska. A draft for the 2008 version of TLMP was recently released and is currently out for comment.
A coalition of conservation groups (Southeast Alaska Conservation Society, Sitka Conservation Society, The Nature Conservancy, Audubon Alaska, Trout Unlimited, The Wilderness Society, Alaska Conservation Foundation, Alaska Wilderness League) is in the process of developing an alternate conservation strategy.
SEAWEAD naturalists Richard Carstensen and Bob Christensen recently wrote an independent opinion piece that compares and critiques these conservation strategies. The document covers a wide array of issues important to understanding the delicate balance between economic development and ecological integrity in Southeast Alaska. Although this document is not an official SEAWEAD report, we provide a link here for interested parties and encourage all who are up for digging a little deeper into Tongass conservation to check it out. The cover letter for this report follows...

These two precious brothers were rescued at a few days old with their mother and three sisters. They were born in back of a residential building in early May 2015. These two brothers are always together and look identical, hence we've been calling them Mutt & Jeff.
Mutt & Jeff love to play, get belly rubs and tackle one another. One brother has been adopted, but one brother is still looking for his forever-loving home
If you would be interested in meeting this kitty, please contact their foster mommy, Gretchen at 914-434-7436.
Thank you for wanting to save a life!
tlc Rescue was founded by three women who have actively dedicated much of their lives to ensuring that all animals (particularly cats and dogs) are not living on the streets, homeless and/or being neglected or abused. Our rescue efforts focus on Westchester County, New York, primarily in the southern end of the county.
We often work with other rescue groups and shelters, most of whom have insufficient space for all of their cats to roam freely. Our philosophy is that no cat should be caged, except when needed to address temporary medical issues. We believe that cats need room to play, lounge and interact with each other and humans in an open environment.
We have a questionnaire and interview the potential adopter, there is a contract exchanged once the animal is adopted. We follow up in the near future once an adoption takes place to make sure the cat is doing well with it's new family.
Thank You!

NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply.

Beijing and Moscow are planning joint anti-missile drills, according to China Daily:
The Ministry of National Defense and the Russian Defense Ministry announced late on Tuesday that the drill will be held later this month at a Russian defense force research center.
Although both ministries said the drill "does not target any third party", observers said the two countries are faced with imminent challenges posed by the US plan to deploy the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missile-interceptor system in the Republic of Korea.
Beijing and Moscow have responded strongly against deploying the system. The X-band radar associated with THAAD can locate missiles 2,000 kilometers away, a range that includes parts of China and Russia and fully covers northeast China.
The United States and South Korea have been in advanced discussions about deploying the THAAD system to protect South Korea from North Korea. Seoul has been much keener on getting the missile defense system this year since Pyongyang has increased the frequency of its missile tests, conducted one confirmed nuclear test, and promised to keep up the belligerence. With Beijing either refusing or unable to control its dangerous ally, South Korea has turned decisively towards Washington for assistance.
Beijing and Moscow aren't openly admitting that the drill is a response to THAAD, but if state-controlled China Daily says that's what they've heard then it's pretty much a sure bet.

Everyone, please give a warm welcome to author S. C. Flynn. I've quite enjoyed his Australian dystopian novel Children of the Different. Today, we chat about survival quests, making up stories in grain bins, a Doctor Who debate, and plenty more! Also, don't miss the GIVEAWAY at the end of this post – an Audible.com version of Children of the Different, narrated by Stephen Briggs.
If you were sent on a survival quest, which other 4 post-apocalyptic/dystopian authors would you take with you?
SCF: Margaret Atwood, because she would be our high priestess and could communicate in all known languages and cultural situations. David Brin, because he would invent anything we needed. Hugh Howey, because he would have plenty of time to tell me the secret of publishing success. Jeff VanderMeer, because of his experience in organising expeditions and group endeavours.
If you couldn't be a writer, what would you choose to do?
SCF: Jazz musician. I grew up playing trumpet in my dad's band.
In this age of publishing, self-promotion is really necessary for the author. What do you enjoy most about advertising yourself and your works? What do you find most challenging?
SCF: I really like finding new bloggers and serious readers. I have made lots of good online friends. The biggest challenge is simply finding the time to keep up with what everyone else is doing.
What were you like as a kid? Did your kid-self see you being a writer?
SCF: I always wanted to hide away and make up stories. I grew up in country Australia, and I used to sit in a wheat bin, where I was away from everyone and free to invent things; there's a photo somewhere of me in there. Back then, I didn't think in terms of being a writer as such, but I was already on the path.
If you could sit down and have dinner with 5 dead authors, who would you invite to the table? What would they order?
SCF: Mary Shelley: spaghetti and clams. James Tiptree Jr: steak and chips, beer, neat whisky, with port and cigar afterwards. H.G. Wells: steak and kidney pie.. Jack Vance: fillet of black marlin. Philip K Dick: Baked Ubik.
What do you do when you are not writing?
SCF: Not much music these days, unfortunately! Reading, watching films.
What is a recurring or the most memorable geeky argument or debate you have taken part in?
SCF: The best era of classic Doctor Who (the 3rd Doctor, by the way, even though it was before my time…).
What is the first book you remember reading on your own?
SCF: 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas by Jules Verne; I still liked it last time I read it!
Finally, what upcoming events and works would you like to share with the readers?
SCF: This interview is part of a blog tour for "Children of the Different" that is running every day on various sites and podcasts till early October; details of what I am doing and where can be found on my site, www.scflynn.com
Thanks for your time.
SCF: Thank you, Susan!

S. C. Flynn has written for as long as he can remember and has worked seriously towards becoming a writer for many years. This path included two periods of being represented by professional literary agents, from whom he learnt a lot about writing, but who were unable to get him published.
He responded by deciding to self-publish his post-apocalyptic fantasy novel, Children of the Different and, together with an American support team, aimed for a book as good as those created by the major publishers.

Book Blurb for Children of the Different
Nineteen years ago, a brain disease known as the Great Madness killed most of the world's population. The survivors all had something different about their minds. Now, at the start of adolescence, their children enter a trance-like state known as the Changeland and either emerge with special mental powers or as cannibalistic Ferals.
In the great forest of south-western Australia, thirteen year-old Arika and her twin brother Narrah go through the Changeland. They encounter an enemy known as the Anteater who feeds on human life. He exists both in the Changeland and in the outside world, and he wants the twins dead.
After their Changings, the twins have powers that let them fight their enemy and face their destiny on a long journey to an abandoned American military base on the north-west coast of Australia. If they can reach it before time runs out.
CHILDREN OF THE DIFFERENT is a post-apocalyptic fantasy novel set among the varied landscapes and wildlife of Western Australia.

Small Engine
Small Engine Troubleshooting Problems? Ask a Mechanic Now.
You do realize that 0.15 and 0.20 are metric readings right?
In inches, those readings are .006" and .008". Having valves that loose would create a lot of valve slap, and could easily break valves.
It is very odd that it would have done that twice like that.
Buffalo Tools is not what you would call a quality unit at all. It could be about anything from inferior materials, to parts tolerance being out of spec.
If you installed a new head and new valves, and I assume new push rods, then the problem is in the manufacturing. There is no reason that all new parts, on an OHV engine, should do the same thing again.
There is nothing connecting the lower engine to the head, other than the pushrods.
If a valve keeps breaking, it has to be faulty material, or a machining issue with the head/valves.

By setting up this cause, we hope to educate adolescents and parents about the dangers of the choking game. Please click on extended info to get the story of how this game affected our family!
On December 27, 2008 our family suffered a great loss. We lost a daughter and little sister from playing 'The Choking Game'. Her name was Jenny and she was 17 years old. She was beautiful, bright, kind to all, and above all else she was a godly young lady.
We believe that peers may have influenced Jenny to believe that this 'game' was her ticket to acceptance and that there was nothing wrong with it. This 'activity' robbed Jenny of a long life and left us with a huge hole in our hearts and lives.
So, what is the "Choking Game"? The "choking game" is a dangerous activity that children and adolescents get involved in to get a brief euphoric state, or "high." They either choke each other, applying pressure to the jugular vein; applying pressure to the chest, while the person being manipulated, hyperventilates; hyperventilating and holding one's breath; or playing alone by using a scarf, fabric belt, rope, etc., making an apparatus (similar to a noose) and leaning into it, attempting to reach this "high" alone! After just a short time, pass-out occurs in each of these instances, leading to killing of brain cells, other dangerous injuries from falls, strokes and even death!
Through our grief, it is the desire of our family to educate adolescents about the dangers of this game and also teach parents, school personnel, church leaders, medical personnel, etc. about warning signs that the adolescent might be "playing". In talking with adolescents, we have found that far too many have heard of this game (estimated 86%) and that far too few people know that this "game" exists!
I strongly urge you to contact us if you would like us to visit your school, church, organization, or simply your child. We are committed to saving as many lives as possible through education.
Jenny's goal in life was to be a Good Samaritan. Through her death, we hope that we can be the vehicle God uses to fulfill this life dream of hers. Please contact us by email if you are interested.
Victoria Dickerson Morgan, Stephanie Surendran and Cheri Hutcherson
1. 86% of adolescents know about this game while only 24% of parents have ever heard of it - see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwc5kCAP8fU
2. Each time this game is played, it kills millions of brain cells.
3. Within three minutes of losing oxygen to the brain, brain damage is noticeable. Between 4 and 5 minutes a person will die.
4. It's estimated that 250 - 1,000 young people die each year from playing this game.
5. Visit http://www.gaspinfo.com/en/home.asp for more detailed information.


text: I was watching a ACR interview, and I just really noticed that Ezio's Egale Vision has changed... or did it? To me it actually looks as if the EV had evolved. Now I know that some of the people reading this are thinking, So what? Since EV is an ability passed down through the descendants of Those who came before, and so far it's been used to tell who's who in the past games, and now it can track a person means it's evolving. Which means EV could do much more in Ezio's future than we could every know. Example could be that in his 80's he might be able to see events second or even hours before it happens. So I ask you all, did EV evolve, and what else do you think it will be able to do for an Assassin in his/her much later years?

Quiz form app only grades 100 files.Asked by pegasu8 on April 19, 2016 at 09:41 PM
JotForm Support
If I understood correctly, you can only receive and grade 100 submissions from your quiz form? May I ask which form did you encounter this issue? I made a small quiz form and tested the app. Everything seems to be working properly.
Here's the link to the demo form: https://form.jotform.com/61101059388958
If you are referring to a different issue, please let us know so we can better assist you.
This form has 194 submissions; when I integrate the app -- it only gives me 100 (10 pages). I need to analyze all of the student submissions, not just the first 100. I reported this issue last year as well.
I encounter it with the post-survey as well (though it will be more than this number as I have about 60 students who still need to take the survey):
JotForm Support
I see what you within the Quiz form app. I'm unable to find the thread that was reported by you earlier. If it is possible, could you provide us with the thread link so that we'll see if it has been sent to our back team for investigation? If not, we'll forward it now for you.
We will wait for your response. Thank you!
Heres the prior one via Chicago Dramatist (which I also administer):
JotForm Support
Thank you for providing us with the link to the thread. I see that the issue is already been forwarded to our backend team for investigation. However, unfortunately there is no update yet on this issue. Let me send a note to the developer assigned to see if we can get any update. Once we have any information in this regard, you'll be posted on the other thread.
Thank you!

How do I get information entered on a form to stay when someone clicks a link veiws it and returns?Asked by twild on August 04, 2014 at 12:30 PM
I have created a form with a series of radio buttons asking if you agree or not to a series of linked agreements. Prior to each radio button I have a "click here to read" text spot of the agreement linked. The problem I am having is that when the person clicks to veiw the linked agreement then returns to the form, the contact information and any checked radio buttons clear and will have to be re-entered. Can you please help? I need this to go out today.
JotForm Support
The easiest way to accomplish this would be to just have the links open in a new tab. To do this, add this code to your link:
target equals"_blank"
Change out the equals for =
An example link would look like this:

Parent/Student Handbook : Click here to view.

This will open each link in a new tab rather than the same page.
You can also allow the form to save based on session data:
Please let us know if you have any further questions and we will be happy to help.
Thank you for using Jotform!

Classical Education
Classical Curriculum
The purpose of the Academy's curriculum and components is to instill in the students' intellects a devotion to truth, to bring the students' wills under the direction of their intellects, and to place their appetites and passions under the control of their wills. This inter-disciplinary approach informs our teachers' approaches to instruction, and its principles are two-fold: (1) the perfection of the human intellect in its ability to know, to reason, and to express itself and (2) the formation of the will to adhere to what is good and right. To achieve the intellectual development of its students, the Academy employs the classical curriculum, the educational program which has produced the greatest works of culture and the great advancements in the sciences. The formation of the will and the moral development of students is dependent upon discipline, both of the student and teachers.
Preventive System
The Academy utilizes a "preventive" system based on the three pillars of reason, religion, and kindness. Discipline erupting from anger and passion is inconsistent, arbitrary, and unfair; it confuses and embitters the child rather than correcting and instructing him. When reason dominates the teachers' actions, discipline is measured and consistent, fair, and constructive. Our instructors not only require right behavior in their students, but demonstrate it in their own actions and lives. Moreover, kindness makes virtue attractive. It is the love of Christ expressed through us, His human creatures. Our teachers express care for students by rejoicing with them in their prosperity, comforting them in adversity, and supporting them in their challenges.
