I was from a poor family, my dad is out of the picture so its me and mum… mum works as a cleaner in one of the hospitals; during evenings and over the weekends I work as a waiter in one of the diners(Jude's Diner) so as to make ends meet.. My name is Emerald Stephens, I'm 17 years old, a 12th grader; my mum named me Emerald cause she says that I'm worth more than a billion emeralds and diamonds; im 5"9 in height, slender with a curvy body-so I'm told- black hair, ash eyes and so on……. I came out as being gay few years ago because I lived in a town where by being gay was acceptable, it was considered okay so it was very easy for me to come out of the closet. I have a few friend and also a few people who looked down on me but mostly I have friends so life has been good to me.
Walking down my high school hall way I mistakenly barged into somebody and it turned out it was a high school jock, Stanley Murris and he was with a friend of his Noel Sherwood; they had always hated me for reasons I can never understand and I wasn't ready to begin my day with frustration so I quickly apologized and started to leave but Stanley caught me by the shirt and started "you little fool, u cant just hit me and leave" "I'm so sorry, I really am, I didn't see u"I responded "wow. Now I'm so short that u cant see me? Did you hear that noel, this poor disgusting thing here says im short" "Stanley please people are starting to stare; dont do this, not here. I'm really sorry I barged into you" and before I knew it, he had hit me with noel laughing, "don't u fucking talk back at me you little poor disgusting poverty stricken thing.i wonder who named u emerald, U arent worth even a coin" he said while hitting me hard, kicking me and using his bag(with something sharp in it) suddenly I fell down to the floor in pains, bleeding and then suddenly out of nowhere, I saw someone punch stanley so hard that he fell down and the person started kicking stanley; I looked up and saw that it was Eric, the school's quarter back; he was yelling at stanley with a pure rage in is eyes "how dare you hit him, he apologized and u still hit him? U should be ashamed of urself u fool. Get out of here" then stanley left with noel…… Eric came back to me and started helping me up, trying to stop the bleeding, he took off his shirt and started cleaning my body with it, he was just left with his singlet on. OMG' this is a pure hunk, he looked like a greek god, with black hair, brown eyes and muscular body, broad shoulders, perfect lips, anything u think a god could look like; I was so lost in his eyes but then I was brought back to reality by people saying things like "omg emerald, are u okay" "what the hell happened emerald?". But what Eric said was "Emerald, are u okay? we got to get you to the school clinic, and don't bother getting up, I'll carry you" he sure looked like he was about to cry and I was confused but I quickly said "don't even think about it, I can walk" "okay then, stand up lets go" and immediately I stood up he grabbed my legs and carried me like a baby "put me down now Eric" "no way, just stop arguing and enjoy the ride". While in the clinic, he stayed with me till 7:00 pm when I was treated, refusing to go back home. When we were done, he insisted on giving me a ride back home. On our way home I said "thanks for everything u did today" "you are welcome"he responded "why did u do it, I mean help me?" "because u are a friend" "really? But we harldy talk" the he stopped the car, turned to me and said "the truth is, we harldy talk cause I'm shy of talking to you; i've always admired you from a distance and I really like you and anytime I wanna talk to you, I feel so shy and scared that I'm gonna say something wrong, u are gentle, quiet, intelligent and I dare say, more than handsome; you are beautiful..you ve the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen and I could stare at them all day if you will let me" now I was totlly stunned… Eric; I mean the quarter back was talking to me and not only that, he was telling me stuffs; wonderful stuffs…I thought my ears were itching and that I wasn't hearing correctly so i said "have u been drinking cause u sure don't know what u are saying" "no emerald, I havent been drinking, haven't u wondered why I havent dated any girl or any of those cheerleaders who throw themselves at me" "yea I've wondered. I mean u are the most popular guy in school" "I'm gay emerald, I havent announced it officilly but I am and I really like u. I really really do. Would u give me a chance to prove it to you?" "how?" "would u be my boyfriend?" "what?!!!" now my ears are faulty "yes emerald?, will u be my lover?" and then I kissed him immeditely and god his lips tasted like strawberry; so sweet and soft and then his hands -so hard but yet so tender- caressed me, squuezing me and I brought him closer to me, kissing him so hard; then he pulled of my shirt and started sucking my tits, using his tongue to lick them while looking at me with those moon-lit eyes, then he unbuckled my belt and pulled off my trousers and started squeezing my dick. I went back to kissing him and pulling off his singlet, and proceded to sucking his nipples,they were hard and tasty then I also unbuckled his belt and he pulled of his trouser and singlet to reveal a mighty cock that was at least 10 inches big. Then I licked him down and when I got to his cock, I began sucking him and he started mouth fucking me, pulling it in and out of my mouth then he pulled out his cock, and began kissing me again, fingering me in the process and slapping my ass afterwards procedded in inserting is dick and it suprissingly went easily, its like his dick was meant for my ass; he put it in slowly and then pulled it out, doing it again and again slowly, then increasing the pace, he started fucking me in a doggy style "yea baby, I love that ass, uh uh uh uh uh, ur ass is so great…" "give it to me babe, fuck me harder, hareder, harder" we continued for about 10 minutes and then he pulled out and told me to rest my back against the car door(we were fucking in his car) and then he inserted again and started fucking me in missionary style, fucking out my brains, with his muscles going up and down and his chest heaving, looking so strong and sexy, sweats trickling down our body. He fucked me hard "yea baby, yes yes yes, gimme that ass, lemme fuck ur hole, lemme make u full" "oh yeah.. yeah….." we kept on fucking, his dick pulling in and out so fast and were kissing in the process licking each other's tongue.. then he brought out his dick, slapped it on my hole and inserted it again, fucking me so hard and rough like he was gonna tear me.. "oh baby fuck me faster!, harder< yea yea yea", and after about 20 minutes of fucking I came on my belle and he came in me, my ass feeling so full and when he brought out his dick, my ass felt empty; then he proceeded to licking the tip of my cock and then to my tummy, licking away all my cum "hmmm. U taste good babe"he said "thanks. And u made me feel good" "hope u arent angry I released in u" "no. why would I be angry at my boyfriend?" "really?" he said with the happiest smile I've ever seen on his face "so u have accepted to be mine?" "yes. I have" I replied "I cant believe I just had sex with Eric, in his car!!!, tell me its not a dream" then he pinched me and said "its not a dream babe" then we resumed kissing and he finally took me home.. on getting home, my mum was back so I invited Eric in and introduced him to my mum and then I tld her how Eric saved me from those idiots and how he became boyfriend and after about 2 hours, Eric went home.
Three weeks later in school during lunch, as I was eating a home made bacon, Eric came and sat beside me and asked for a bite which I gave him and which also made the whole school turn to stare at us with mouth gaping and saying words like "omg whats Eric doing with emerald" "whoa look at that" "quaterback and a loser" and then he sent everyone into shock by feeding me and then kissing me right there in the cafeteria and everyone gasped and he said "yea people, that's right! Emerald is my boyfriend, if it pisses you off, you can go kiss a snake" the he turned to me and said "emerald, these few weeks I've spent with you have made me realise that I don't just like u, I love u…no no no no no… I'm in love with u. Sorry ladies and gays, but im taken" and then he kissed me again and some people started clapping and some hating, feeling jealous and so on but that didn't matter. All that mattered to me was that he said he loved me in front of the whole school "I love u too Eric". He then dragged me to the janitors closet and began kissing me again, and we quickly undressed and he then turned me gently and inserted his dick in me, fucking me hard again, slapping my ass at the same time kissing me "I love u so much baby" he said as he thrust in deeper and deeper and deeper "uh yeah. Gimme more. Uh uh uh ah ah ah ah ah ah" he fucked and fucked and then I released on the floor and 2 minutes later, he released me in. we kept on kissing and the n dressed and headed home to enjoy ourselves more, ditching the remaining classes.

I had a long held belief that health checks should just be pings. "Is the websites up?" And for years, that was right. Not anymore.
Recently, a developer asked me if he should use health checks to ensure that the Entity Framework Cache stays in memory? It took me a while disassociate health checks from pings, but he was right. YES, you should use health checks to ensure the health of your site.
You should use health checks to do this:
- Ensure your site is up and running (ping)
- Ensure all cached values are available and, if possible, at the latest value.
- Ensure Entity Framework's cache is hit before your first user
- EF is a total hog of resources and complete slowdown on first hit
- Same thing for WCF
- Cache any application specific values needed before first hit
Health checks should not be pings. They should check the entire health of the site and its responsiveness. It should check the cache, it's database connectivity, and everything that makes a website work. It's a "health check" not a ping.

Many More Years of Healthy Living
The decline that comes with aging results in tremendous health, financial and emotional costs to aging individuals, as well as loved ones, caregivers and all of society.
Many negative effects are caused by common underlying biological mechanisms.
So our foundation targets the underlying mechanisms of aging to create solutions – therapies and other innovations to slow, repair, control and ultimately reverse the underlying causes of age related decline – rather than treating individual diseases as they occur.
Result: MORE HEALTHY, HAPPY, PRODUCTIVE YEARS OF LIFE, and solutions to many great problems facing the world.
And if we can live a lot longer in great health, wouldn't that be great too?
The foundation also provides education on how to stay healthy while new technologies are being developed, and facilitate communication among researchers, solutions creators and the public throughout the world.
Straight talk about getting old: My friend, the good years of our lives – the healthy ones, when we're feeling great and loving life, we're productive, happy to be alive and able to do the things we want – are just too damn short! Then we get old, sick and die, much too soon.
Sure, maybe around retirement age of 65 or 70 or so, some of us get a few "golden years" where we have time and money to do the things we want – until health takes a nose dive. So what's any accumulated wealth, power and prestige worth then?
When getting old we want to keep people from getting sick, decrepit and feeble, feeling miserable, losing strength, appearance and enjoyment of life, loss of productivity and ability to do your work, being in pain, possibly bedridden, going bankrupt from paying all their money to doctors and hospitals, and dependent on others.
|Why supporting our foundation is important to you:
|You'll have the potential to live a lot longer — and in great health
|You'll have access to inside information. I'll be in frequent communication with the latest developments
|You'll be among the first to take advantage of new medical aging intervention technologies as they are created
|You will benefit humanity

Policy Issues in Mental Health
One such issue is the mental needs of baby boomers. This is because this generation of the American population offers a Unique challenge to the American medical system, in that the system is not adequately prepared to address the mental health needs of this demographic. This can, however, be remedied with the appropriate policy implementation to ensure that Medicare is in a position to adequately contain the mental health needs of the baby boomer generation. This is because the members of these demographic are likely to suffer from mental problems like depression leading to suicides, as they advance in age (MedlinePlus, 2009). Although mental health is being recognized as a health problem in America, the Medicare system needs policy implementations, ad hoc the needs of the baby boomer generations mental health needs. Background After the WW2, The demographic of the American population that comprised of young adults had a symbolic significance to the population as the face of optimism and the nations driving force.

Current trends in Mental health
Before a discussion of the current topic can be started, it is important first to adequately define mental illness.

It also includes various health conditions which are defined by defects of the individual's normal cognitive, emotional, and behavioural functions, and caused by social, genetic, and psychological factors, including infection or head trauma.

issues and challenges encountered by mental health nurses,consumers and their families
How is it different from other nursing practices? Is it really needed? How should it operate – with autonomy or under the auspices of doctors? With those issues and challenges confronting psychiatric nursing practice, what then could be the future of psychiatric nursing? Defining the Profession Defining psychiatric nursing alone is proven difficult and controversial for two major reasons. First, nursing itself to which psychiatric nursing is part of the nursing practice continuum (Ballard, 2008) cannot also be defined without difficulty. What made defining nursing difficult, Brenner (1984)...

However, the elder patients are believed to view and imagine nursing staff as their own daughters. In developed nations relationships among children and parents have significantly deteriorated and therefore, elders are becoming lonely and depressed (Werner, 1993).

But, in case of children, the job of nurses gets tough and challenging because psychologically, one has to become a child in order to play with a junior and because of this reason, it is recommended in multiple studies that...

La Sultana is a fantastic spot inside the Medina and hidden in a tiny street.
The entrance is magical and beautifull.
The setting where we had dinner is amazing with the lights and plants inside a quite courtyard. I believe on hotter nights the diner is served on the terrace overlooking the Medina, which should be a great experience. Anyway an authentic morrocon ambiançe.
The service is the best we had at Marrakech, but a bit too formal.
We chosed a Morrocan menu to enjoy several small portions. All great. In the end a bit expensive but as we would expect at a place like this.
The setting and the service are the must of the place.

ZenCash is a system that is used to automate payments for freelancers and small businesses. By automating their entire payments and collections system, ZenCash's customers are able to focus on other things including their core competencies and leave the accounts receivables function to a dedicated and experienced system. Services that ZenCash provides to its customers does not depend on the amount of money that is owed to them. Rather, any amount and even payments that may seem too low to warrant the involvement of a lawyer or a legal court, can be tracked by ZenCash.Show more screenshots »
ZenCash was founded in 2011 by Brandon Cotter who has been building startup companies for over fifteen years. It has its headquarters in Dallas. After discovering that there were no systems that could support people in getting paid on time, Cotter created ZenCash to fill this void. The creation of ZenCash provided a channel through which freelancers and business owners became empowered and it created a professional link for handling payment issues between the people who provide goods and services and their clients who consume these goods and services.
The ZenCash application was created to satisfy a current need which was the absence of any systems that can support people in getting paid and also being paid on time. Hence, ZenCash does have some uniqueness in its objectives especially when compared to other web-based applications. By enabling the tracking of unpaid invoices and providing additional services through collection agencies, many freelancers and business owners can ensure that they do not lose income they have worked for. The potential for the availability of the application in other countries and the inclusion of many other types of services can increase the ZenCash's customer base and potential.
ZenCash provides a simple user interface through which information can be easily found. The website is not cluttered and it does not feel overwhleming. There is a easy approach to its coloring schemes and themes. The look is inviting and not overpowering. The main menu is readily visible and provides a concise invitiation to learn more about the various sections of the website including taking a tour, viewing the pricing page, looking at the company's FAQ or reading the blog.
Freelancers and business owners can sign up for free at the Zencash website. New customers may choose to login with their exisiting Google, Facebook or Twitter accounts, if applicable. However, new customers without any of the exisiting accounts can still create a new account directly on the ZenCash system. During the registration process, notices are also posted to inform new customers of the details regarding which countries can use ZenCash and what types of goods and services may be considered when using the system. After registration, customers may cancel their accounts at any time except if there are invoices that are currently in the collections process which may be subject to a contingency fee.
The pricing structure for ZenCash allows users of the system to only pay for the services they actually use. Customers do not have to pay any fees to set up an account on the ZenCash system. Instead, customers are charged a one-time fee for any of the services that they decide to use and these services can include the use of collection agencies in sitautions where money is owed, sending 'Thank You' notes to clients who provide payment or pay on time, sending payment reminders and many other services. The prices for these individual services begin at a little over $1 and increases based on the number of services requested.
Freelancers and small business owners would find ZenCash appealing especially if these freelancers and business owners have been victims of unpaid invoices. People who are continually faced with the challenge of chasing down unpaid invoices can get some relief through ZenCash by having a third party track down invoices and provide support in acquiring payment for work done.

This video tells the story of an adorable Yorkshire terrier who was rescued from a puppy mill, where he had spent the first several years of his life being used solely for breeding purposes. At the start of the video, he is covered in dirty, matted fur that has obviously not been cleaned or trimmed in months, or perhaps even years. However, as the video goes on, this old fur is trimmed away, along with all of the heavy mats that were holding him down. After his shave, he gets a much needed bath, where any remaining parts of his previous life are washed down the drain along with the dirt and feces covering him. After his bath, he receives a detail trim of any loose hairs, and he is instantly transformed into a beautiful Yorkshire terrier that could pass as a loved house pet. From an abused puppy lacking love and basic maintenance to a beautiful show dog ready for adoption, the transformation revealed in this video is truly remarkable.

text: Investors in Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. ( KMP) saw new options become available today, for the May 17th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the KMP options chain for the new May 17th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.The put contract at the $70.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.20. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $70.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $68.80 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of KMP, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $72.98/share today. Because the $70.00 strike represents an approximate 4% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 68%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 1.71% return on the cash commitment, or 11.59% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.

Persuasive Essay
"The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people." Why are good people needed in this world? They are needed to create better places for others and to prevent anybody from getting hurt by the bad people's actions.
Paragraph 2
Good people are needed in the world to create better places for other good people. For example, good people can create utopias for other good people such as islands, mountains, etc. Another example, good people can fight the bad people and create a better tomorrow for others.
Paragraph 3
They are also needed to protect others from getting hurt by the bad people's actions. For example, good people are needed to fight the bad people and give them something to fear. Another example, good people need to give the other good people a chance to fight back the bad people.
Paragraph 4
Good people are not needed because there will always be bad people in this world and eventually good people will give up fighting the bad people and they will triumph and then control the world with fear.
Good people are needed in this world to create a better future for the other good people and to protect the light from the dark. As human beings we need to keep our ground and fight and not fall into the darkness they create when they hurt others.

Dear Juan Contreras:
I would be a good addition to your mariachi group since I've had 4 years of choir and I've played the vihuela for 3 years. Plus, I get along well with others so there won't be any issues with the other mariachis.
I would like to be in the background playing with the other vihuela players since I mostly concentrate on playing an instrument rather than singing but I've played for one other group for 2 years so I'm pretty experienced on singing and playing the vihuela.
Thank you for your time, it is appreciated.

Kush and Axum Kingdoms
By Max McDonald
Glimpse of Africa
The Kingdom of Kush was formed after the Egyptian pulled their people out of Nubia, an area that is now Northern Sudan/Southern Egypt. The Kush kingdom was fortunate in its wealth, with easily access to iron, gold, and ivory. The nobles of the Kush thought of themselves as Egyptians, for the Egyptians had influenced their architecture and their religion. However unlike the Egyptians, the people of Kush did not have to worry about the Nile's annual flooding and they needn't rely on it for good soil, the area the kingdom was in received plenty of rainfall year round so their soil was generally good for crops. In terms of accomplishments, the kingdom was one of the first (we believe) to make iron tools in Africa, they fought and won many battles against their Egyptian neighbors and created their own language and culture. The Kush kingdom was formed prior to this but when the natives African were forced to migrate out of Egypt because of newcomers, they greatly enriched the culture of the Kingdom of Kush, it wasn't for a thousand years until the Kingdom fell. It happened when a nearby Ethiopian kingdom grew until Kush was overshadowed, finally being attacked and destroyed.
Thus was born Axum, Kush's successor kingdom. Located in the Ethiopian Highlands, it eventually controlled much of Arabria, modern day Eritrea, Ethiopia and Sudan. Axum was the seed that grew into the legendary kingdom of Ethiopia. Axum became a Christian nation and was the first to become that in Africa, mixing it's prior polytheistic beliefs with the new found Christianity is how they approached the matter, almost setting a precedent for other tribes and people. The thing that I think of most when I think about the Axum empire is their Stelae, these stone towers served to mark graves and represent a magnificent multi-storied palace. They are decorated with false doors and windows in typical Axumite design. The largest of these obelisks would measure 33 meters high had it not fallen. The Stelae have most of their mass out of the ground, but are stabilized by massive underground counter-weights. The stone was often engraved with a pattern or emblem denoting the king's or the noble's rank. The fall of Axum came when Islamic groups began contesting trade routes. Eventually Axum was cut off from its principal markets in Alexandria, Byzantium and Southern Europe and its trade share was captured by Arab traders of the era. The Kingdom of Axum also quarreled with Islamic groups over religion. Eventually the people of Axum were forced south and their civilization declined.
Swahili Nations
The Swahili language is native to the tribes of Eastern Africa in places like Tanzania and Kenya. The reason that it spread to today's number of nearly 15 million people is that that region was a key trade route for connection between Africa and Arabia. So the the whole East coast being a trade region, it makes sense that the language spread through there as well.
European Colonization of Africa
*I focused on the French and Mali* The French came into Mali in 1892 as part of the African land grab race where all the European powers were looking to expand their countries by taking land in Africa, where in their opinion, nobody had claimed it. The French came in and named the land Soudan Français (French Sudan), which didn't sit well with the natives. In the early 1900's the French gained a strong grasp over the colony but resistance continued from the native people. In 1960 Mali finally gained its independence and continues to keep their peoples' culture and tradition to this day.
Mali Independence
The fight for independence continues still, not so much in fighting the French, but among themselves in a way. Right after the people managed to kick out the French rule, the military leaders decided they should be in charge rather than the populace's belief of a civilian ruled nation. This occurred until the 1990's when more and more people backed the idea of a democratically ran nation, in the 2000's constitutions were drafted in order to limit the power and time in power elected officials had and since then things have ran relatively smooth for Mali. Apart from the civil strife of course, power seeking militia groups, democratic supporting militia groups, and the Taureg rebels fought over these issues until in 2013 a peace treaty was signed by both groups.
Zulu Tribe
For starters, the Zulu people are more of an Ethnic group in South Africa rather than a tribe, but their traditions and culture are still alive just the same. Located in South Africa, their economy isn't tribal driven, but rather it is in stride with the nationally economy of South Africa because the majority of people there are Zulu. A big part of Zulu art is woodcarving, this includes headdresses and masks more more commonly figurines and such. The women are the ones that keep Zulu tradition alive, the men go away to work in cities and leave their wives home to raise the kids and keep tradition. Music is a way to keep tradition alive and to keep their ancestors' spirits with them, a main instrument used is the drum. In terms of Rite of passage the only one that is still strong today is when the females hit puberty, they are eligible to write letters of interest to men, if the man feel sthe same then the two families discuss marriage. Religiously, the Zulu people were exposed to Christianity by the Europeans so a majority of the people there practice that, they keep in touch with God through prayer but they also tell stories to keep their ancestors spirits with them, sort of mixing the old and the new. Their creation story is that the creator send a Chameleon to give his people eternal life, but on the route the chameleon stopped by many flowery bushes to look and adore, this angered the creator and he sent a lizard who was speedy to take away the eternal life he was originally going to give them. When the chameleon finally arrived it was too late, the lizard had already sentenced the people to their fate, thus in Zulu tradition it is seen as a blessing from the creator to live to old age. Zulu proverbs include "The burning stick has returned with the firemaker stuck to the firemaker" "You are sharp on one side like a knife" "The cow licks the one that licks her" and "the honey will end".
My Tribe
My tribe would be called Maxico. It would be located in central Africa and the economy would be tourism, we could show people the rain forests and what it's like to live there and such. We would practice tribal Tattooing, our only Rite of passage is when you are ready to become a man or woman you must get the tattoo of your family, showing all who you are. Our art would be masks that would allow us to connect with our spirits but also wear into battle to allow the spirits to guide us, so they'd be more like helmets I suppose. We'd drum and dance to the rhythm to connect to the spirits surrounding us. We would worship the trees and the spirits residing within them, our drummers would drum with drums made out of the best trees which hold the most powerful spirits, allowing us to connect with them the best we could. Our creation story would be that the creator created our tribe to allow us to worship the tree spirits properly because those who were before us weren't good enough at it. Our proverbs would be, "Wisdom is wealth" "to get lost is to learn the way" "War has no eyes" "Unity is strength, division is weakness".
African Mask - Teke
I chose to base my design off of this mask because it typically is considerably larger than the head of the wearer, granted while mine was not that was the reason I chose this mask. I like that aspect because to me it gives the feel of the importance of the mask and how it symbolizes something much larger and more powerful than the one chosen to wear the mask, whether it be an ancestor's spirit or animal's, it shows that they hold themselves in lower regards when compared to their deities.
The Teke people are part of the Bantu cultural group, their difference being that they speak the Teke language. Teke people are located in the central Africa region with minorities in the West. Teke masks are mainly used in traditional dancing ceremonies such as wedding, funeral and initiation ceremonies of young men entering adulthood. The mask is also used as a social and political identifier of social structure within a tribe or family. They are round flat disk-like wooden masks that have abstract patterns and geometric shapes with horizontal lines that are painted in earthly colors. The masks have narrow eye slits to enable the mask wearer to see without being seen. They have holes pierced along the edge for the attachment of a woven raffia dress with feathers and fibers. The mask is held in place with a bite bar at the back that the wearer holds in his teeth. The dress would add to the mask's costume and conceal the wearer. Conclusively, I did not find anything that identified the mask as representation of spirits or deities, therefore making my reason for choosing the mask less awesome.
African Slave Trade
*Upon rereading I noticed I focused on the US's involvement, while in reality rival tribes and kingdoms took many slaves, Europeans and South Americans took them as well. Africa was screwed over in the sense that they were behind in technology so people just took them without second thought because they saw them as lesser humans.* In the early stages of the slave trade, people used slaves mostly for personal use, like servants or laborers at smaller business because slaves were expensive. However as time went on and ships got bigger and transportation got cheaper, more and more slaves were brought over from Africa to the US for commercial use as well as personal use. The height of the slave trade came as the growth of the US took off, with plantations being built in the South and the realization that having a personal slave was a useful tool for life in this new and consuming world. Additionally more money from the plantations allowed for more/bigger ships to take people from their homes and ship them into a life of slavery. It came to an end right around the time the civil war started, because with the South becoming the Confederacy they needed a navy to defend from the superior armaments of the North which allowed for less slaves to be traded.
British and Africa
The English involvement with the slave trade is simple yet very impact full, they began with less ships shipping fewer number of slaves to Spanish/Portuguese settlers in Latin and South America. The true height of their slavery began when they started to colonize the Caribbean, they needed people to help make a new life on these islands so they went to Africa and picked up more laborers, although it was forced labor... With the sugar cane plantations springing up in the islands the demand for slaves increased and the British parliament didn't hesitate to comply.
In total, it is estimated that roughly 12,500,000 people were taken from their homes in Africa to be slaves for others, with the number of trips made for this endeavor being somewhere in the millions as well.
Somali Pirates
After the civil war in Somalia, the Somali navy, and fisherman were all disbanded and the waters left unguarded. People began to fish unlicensed and fish stock eroded. Pirates took advantage of this and robbed people on these unprotected waters, people saw the probability in this actually began funding the pirates for a share of the wealth. That was when it was at its height, since then there have been put into place anti-piracy task forces that patrol those waters protecting commercial fishermen and preventing pirate raids.

What's everybody's opinion on fan made mods for the game? I was actually kinda hoping this would of came up during the Q&A earlier.
Personally, I think SE should lighten up their policy on mods. I could understand how they didn't want PC users to have an advantage over PS2 users, but that's not a problem anymore. The PS3 can handle saving and using modifications, so everything could be cross system. Obviously, it kinda opens a floodgate for things like bots and such, but they're going to exist anyway, and they'll just have to monitor those things. Only other problem I can see coming out of it is if the game is actually released for the 360. Microsoft is completely against having player made mods in any games on their system. See Unreal Tournament 3, as an example. It has mods (and cross system play; PS3 <-> PC) on every system other than the 360 because of Microsoft.

Obesity and Weight Management
Why Am I Gaining Weight?
I have experienced a sudden weight gain in the past two weeks that I can`t explain. I would think it is PMS, but gaining weight two weeks before the event seems a bit excessive. Also I take several allergy medications: clarinex,nasacort, and liquibid (but only if I feel I need it). I saw myself on film the other day and it looks to me like I have a moon face-or am retaining water. Could this be a result of allergy medications? I don`t feel particularly uncomfortable and am not experiencing any other symptoms except feeling a little overweight and extremely frustrated. I do try to maintain a healthy diet, and I exercise about 4 or 5 times a week on average it just doesn`t seem to be working.
There are many causes for sudden weight gain, some more benign than others. For instance, kidney problems can cause fluid retention and lead to weight gain. With PMS, you can also gain a few pounds due to water retention, but it resolves after your periods. Clearly PMS would be less serious healthwise than a kidney problem. Another factor to consider is the amount of weight gain, and the presence or absence of other symptoms. In your question, you mention 'moon face'. Although and prolonged use of steroids can lead to a condition called Cushing's syndrome which presents with weight gain and moon facies, this rarely happens with Nasacort, which is a nasal steroid. Cushing's syndrome can also be due to other conditions.
I would recommend you set up an appointment with your physician for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can track your actual weight gain by weighing your self every other day, first thing in the morning. That will be helpful for your doctor to review. Remember that weight will fluctuate a little from day to day. Once you have been seen by your doctor, I would not recommend tracking your weight that often unless your doctors recommends you do so. Finally, congratulations on working on maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly.

the sociological imagination
Coined by C. Wright Mills, the sociological imagination is the ability to situate personal troubles and life trajectories within an informed framework of larger social processes.
Coined by C. Wright Mills, the sociological imagination is the ability to situate personal troubles and life trajectories within an informed framework of larger social processes.
Examples of the sociological imagination in the following topics:
The Sociological Imagination
The Sociological Imagination
- An analogy can help us better understand what Mills meant by the sociological imagination.
- The sociological imagination takes the metaphorical fish out of the water.
- The term sociological imagination describes the type of insight offered by the discipline of sociology.
- In describing the sociological imagination, Mills asserted the following.
- Wright Mills' claim concerning the importance of the "sociological imagination" for individuals
What is Sociology?
- Wright Mills (a prominent mid-20th century American sociologist) labeled the sociological imagination: the ability to situate personal troubles within an informed framework of social issues.
- The sociological imagination enables its possessor to understand the larger historical scene in terms of its meaning for the inner life and the external career of a variety of individuals. "
- As Mills saw it, the sociological imagination could help individuals cope with the social world by helping them to step outside of their personal, self-centric view of the world.
- In employing the sociological imagination, people are able to see the events and social structures that influence behavior, attitudes, and culture.
- The sociological imagination goes beyond armchair sociology or common sense.
Bachelor's Degree Occupations
- Some sociologists find the adaptation of their sociological training and insights to the business world relatively easy.
- Site selection requires understanding human ecology and consumer spending patterns, both of which are addressed using the sociological imagination.
- Sociology majors can carry the sociological imagination into medical practice, offering sociological insights while practicing medicine.
- Two factors seems to limit the occupational prospects of sociologists: The first limiting factor is their own imagination.
- The sociological imagination is applicable to almost every occupation and field of research, from studying how physicists do their work to union organizing.
Applied and Clinical Sociology
- Here, we will discuss the possibilities of applied sociology and one subfield, clinical sociology.
- Some sociologists find that adapting their sociological training and insights to the business world is relatively easy.
- Site selection requires understanding human ecology and consumer spending patterns, both of which are addressed using the sociological imagination.
- Outside of the corporate world, sociology is often applied in governmental and international agencies such as the World Bank or United Nations.
- Jane Addams is considered by many to be one of the earliest sociologists, though her contributions were mostly to the application of sociology to social work.
- We've described some of the basic "nuts and bolts" tools for entering and transforming network data.
- The "bigger picture" is to think about network data (and any other, for that matter) as having "structure. " Once you begin to see data in this way, you can begin to better imagine the creative possibilities: for example, treating actor-by-attribute data as actor-by-actor, or treating it as attribute-by-attribute.
- Different research problems may call for quite different ways of looking at, and transforming, the same data structures.
- We've hardly covered every possibility here, but we have looked at some of the most frequently used tricks.
Sociological Videos
- The following are videos - including fiction movies, non-fiction documentaries and recorded lectures - examining topics in the field of sociology.
- See this link for a sortable table of sociological videos: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Sociology/Sociological_Videos
Race and Ethnicity
- A race is a human population that is believed to be distinct in some way from other humans based on real or imagined physical differences.
- An individual is usually externally classified (meaning someone else makes the classification) into a racial group rather than the individual choosing where they belong as part of their identity.
- Some of the social traits often used for ethnic classification include:
- The term ethnicity focuses more upon a group's connection to a perceived shared past and culture.
- An example of an ethnic group in the U.S. is Hispanic or Latino.
- Through a couple extensions and revisions, it has evolved to cover more of the basic approaches to the analysis of social network data.
- Its current form, written in 2005, covers most of the algorithms and approaches that are collected in the computer package UCINET, version 6.85.
- The book is distributed free on the Internet in the hope that it may reach a diverse audience, and that the core ideas and methods of this field may be of interest.
- We hope that you will find things here that may stimulate your imagination.
- The concepts and techniques of social network analysis are informed by, and inform the evolution of these broader fields.
Defining automorphic equivalence
- Formally "Two vertices u and v of a labeled graph G are automorphically equivalent if all the vertices can be re-labeled to form an isomorphic graph with the labels of u and v interchanged.
- More intuitively, actors are automorphically equivalent if we can permute the graph in such a way that exchanging the two actors has no effect on the distances among all actors in the graph.
- If we want to assess whether two actors are automorphically equivalent, we first imagine exchanging their positions in the network.
- Then, we look and see if, by changing some other actors as well, we can create a graph in which all of the actors are the same distance that they were from one another in the original graph.
- In the case of structural equivalence, two actors are equivalent if we can exchange them one-for-one, and not affect any properties of the graph.

Your Points System Should Influence Current Spend Decisions Like any storefront business, exhibitor booth selection is heavily influence by three factors: location, location, location. Most trade-show organizers use a priority-points system to help determine the order of booth-space selection for next year's expo and their system has been in place for quite a while. Over the past couple of years, we've studied dozens of priority-point models to formulate best practices for progressive expos. … [Read more...]
Back to School for Trade Show Organizers: Build In More Ways to Learn and Connect
This is the second in a series of posts on the findings of reports published by the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR) based on research recently conducted on attendee retention strategies. The way we buy has evolved for both the B2B and B2C sectors. Trade show organizers who have re-imagined their expo floors into a solutions-based destination rather than one of a hard-sell shopping place are winning at delivering attendee value. Results from a recent CEIR study bolster that … [Read more...]
Your Trade Show Attendees: What Do They Really, Really Want?
This is the first in a series of posts on the findings of reports published by the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR) based on research recently conducted on attendee retention strategies. It's likely that the Brexit vote last week is on my mind and that's why the Spice Girls' tune, "Wannabe," popped into my head as I wrote: "Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want." A key takeaway from Part One of CEIR Attendee Retention Insights study, is the schism between … [Read more...]
Conference Sponsorship As An Investment In Relatedness, Connections And Community
Often we feel that conference sponsorship is a necessary but unpleasant activity to support an event. We are uncomfortable asking organizations for money to support our endeavors. Sometimes that uncomfortable feeling is more a reflection of our personal beliefs about money than our beliefs about our conference's impact. Raising conference sponsorship dollars should actually be proclaiming what we believe about our event in such as way that we offer other organizations the opportunity to … [Read more...]
Keys to Sponsorship Success
Lots of conference organizers want a magic formula for pricing sponsorships. Sadly, there isn't one. To grow this critical revenue line, sponsorship seekers must do the following: Earn a high concentration of participants who have influence on deal making or purchases. Involve leadership in the relationship building of primary investors or targets. Place attendees' needs and desires above those of the organization or sponsor. Four Common Sponsorship Pricing Models Most … [Read more...]
High-Stake Conference Partnerships
As brands evolve, they are increasingly looking for marketing investments where they can make an emotional impact with a defined target market. Most of them can do it with or without you (ambush marketing), but most would rather partner and support organizations that are already serving a demographic that matches up with their best customers. Often, these are the ones that you want to target for potential partnership and sponsorship opportunities. Choosing the Right Partners For … [Read more...]
Helping Sponsors Turbocharge Through Activation
Activation (or leverage) is the most misunderstood, yet most critical, success driver for sponsorship ROI. Savvy marketing professionals totally get activation. But most of our profession doesn't. This is why many of us continue to sell non-emotional promotional opportunities and incorrectly call them sponsorship. We need to capitalize on this golden opportunity. Consumer events are kicking are butts. Yet most professional conferences have a leg up on target market concentration and buying … [Read more...]
These Factors Contribute To Your Exposition's Health
Tradeshows have just experienced the highest quarterly increase in eight years says the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR). The Q1 2015 CEIR Index report marks the 19th consecutive quarter of year-on-year growth in the exhibitions arena. Revenue jumped 7.3 percent, net square feet grew 4.1 percent, exhibitor numbers increased 3.3 percent, and attendance grew 3.7 percent. How does your exhibition stack up?

Why is JotForm truncating the last record on my CSV download?Asked by MarilynLitt on August 28, 2013 at 12:01 AM
Another week, another issue . . .
JotForm is truncating the data on the last exported form from the database.
We are doing a CSV download. It is not necessarily the last form that is entered, but it will be the last sorted.
We paid a lot of money to JotForm, but are looking to migrate due to all these error.
JotForm Support
We apologize for that.
I am not sure what you mean exactly with the last truncated record. Are you referring to the last submission when you download your form submissions to CSV? Or are you referring to the truncated field labels on CSV? Can give us further details about the problem?
So far when I take your CSV submissions, the last record is fine and not truncated, perhaps if you could provide clearer details we may be able to understand and track the problem.

What Is EDC? Introduction to Everyday Carry
You may think that Everyday Carry (or EDC for short) is just a guy's way of geeking out on the cool gadgets, weapons, and tools that he carries around with him. Your assumption may be correct on some level because EDC has been popularized by sites like everydaycarry.com, but in reality, everyday carry is a philosophy built on preparedness and function.
This means the things that you feel you cannot leave home without. This list of objects will vary depending on your needs, the amount of stuff you want to carry, and your lifestyle. We are big proponents of always being prepared and your EDC should be comprised of items that will lead to this goal should the need arise.
We are going to explore a few different EDC's from some of the people who work here at 3V Gear and their reasons and philosophies for the items they carry.
This is the everyday carry of Kirk, our Marketing Manager, and these are his words for what why he carries the things he does.
"My EDC is based around my lifestyle and job. Also, my EDC is constantly evolving. I like to think of it as curating my lifestyle and the items I carry. I am always trying to make it better and more efficient."
- Rhodia Notebook :: I am a very visual and using a notebook makes it so easy to sketch ideas and concepts.
- Fuji X100S :: This is my favorite camera that I own. I take a lot of pictures and this camera works great for me. It is quiet and great in low-light situations. Plus, it is inconspicuous in a crowd.
- Batteries :: The X100S is notoriously bad with battery life, so I always carry an extra.
- Flashlight :: This is a new addition to my EDC. I never use to carry one, but have found now that I have it, I use it all of the time. I suppose I could use the light on my phone, but I like having alternatives. Plus, if I need a light for an extended period of time, the phone probably isn't the best option.
- Gerber Folding Knife :: This is just a super simple folding knife. I mainly use it for opening boxes, but it comes in handy all of the time.
- Key fob for my car.
- Tag Heuer Chronograph :: I like watches and wear a different one every day. It really depends on my mood. Sometimes it is a nicer watch like this and other times it may be a simple Timex Ironman. The watch also changes based on what I am going to be doing today.
- Lamy Safari :: My pens are always changing and they range from fountain pens to gel pens, to artist pens or ball points. My only requirements are, they have be nice to hold and they have to be excellent to write with.
- Mechanical Pencil :: I like to carry at least one pencil and I generally use it for sketching in my notebook.
- Tactile Turn Pen :: This pen was on Kickstarter and I really like the way it feels.
- Micron .03 Pen :: I carry this pen mainly for sketching.
- Smith Sunglasses :: Never leave home without sunglasses.
- Hydroflask Coffee Cup :: One of the best innovations...EVER! This thing works so good that my coffee is often too hot.
- 3V Gear Outlaw :: I have to represent the company I work for, right? This is one of my favorite packs that we manufacture. I like sling packs because they are easy to use and are generally smaller than most backpacks. I think the Foliage Grey is an awesome color.
- Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones :: I listen to a bunch of podcasts and music. Having a great pair of headphones is a must.
- MacBook Air :: I may love my pens and notebooks, but I wouldn't be able to function without a computer. I like the MacBook Air because the battery is awesome and the laptop is super lightweight.
- Solar Charger :: I spend a lot of time in the mountains and a small solar panel is an easy way to keep my electronics charged.
- iPhone 6s :: Never go anywhere without my phone. Plus, it is a backup option for my computer and notebooks.
- Coach Money Clip Wallet :: This is a very minimalist wallet that has a money clip on one side and room for a few cards on the other.
- Field Notes Notebook :: I keep an additional notebook with me and use it mainly for sloppy notes and ideas. Plus, I don't mind tearing a page out of this notebook to give to someone.
- LaCie HD :: I am a big advocate of having backups of all my electronic files and carry this external hard drive for that purpose. Plus, it gives me additional hard drive space if I don't have enough room on my MacBook Air.
Dan is the President of 3V Gear and he has his own unique EDC. Here is his EDC and the way he describes how he uses these items.
"My EDC is based on security and safety more than anything else. These are the things I want to make sure I always have with me in case the worst case scenario actually happens."
- Carbon Fiber Wallet :: I am a bit of a minimalist and this wallet is very sleek and it looks awesome.
- Torch :: I carry this on the premise that fire is one of the most important things you can have available to you. You would actually be surprised how often I use it.
- Brainwavz Headphones :: Again being a minimalist, I like that these earbuds are small and sound great. They also work as wireless headphones for my iPhone.
- Ltd. Optics Sunglasses :: These are polarized glasses and have real wood arms. They are very lightweight and I like the style.
- Public Supply Notebook :: I always carry a notebook with me. It is often easier to write something down that trying to type it into my phone.
- Multi-tool :: Very simple multi-tool that comes in handy.
- Tactical Pen :: This pen works great, but is super robust and could double as a weapon.
- Keychain with Paracord :: Paracord has so many uses and I like to keep some on me at all times.
- 3V Gear Posse Sling Pack :: I like how small this pack is, but the main reason I carry it is for my conceal-carry weapon. The Posse has two spots to carry a concealed weapon.
- 1911 :: I grew up using a 1911 and really like way the gun feels. I am proponent of gun rights and think most people should carry a weapon.
- iPhone 6s :: I think everyone probably carries a phone. It is vital to my life and running a company.
- Damascus Skinner :: This knife has its utilitarian uses, but it is also a piece of art.
- Credit Card Multi-tool :: It weighs next to nothing and has so many uses.
Do you have to carry all of this stuff? Of course not. Like we said, EDC is a philosophy that some of us choose to live by. We carry what we need and like, and that varies by the individual.
We hope that this give you a little bit of understanding of what EDC is and how some of our people choose to everyday carry. We would love to see what you use for your everyday carry.

I would say yes, but I am also a very naturally skeptical person. It is extremely annoying that there is no "smoking gun" despite the vast amounts of circumstantial and anecdotal evidence.
Most Helpful Guy
I doubt it. Governments (especially America) suck when it comes to keeping big secrets like this from the public for long periods of time. Area 51, NSA leaks, Bay of Pigs, Watergates, The CIA's fuck ups, the bunkers within the White House, Nuclear Warheads and etc. History have constantly taught us, the bigger the secret, the harder it is to keep it as such and a secret this big would be impossible to keep behind closed doors unless only a few (2-5) people knew of it.
Hypothetically though, if aliens have indeed made contact with us and our governments knowingly kept it a secret from us then I would support that decision 100%. Humans are not ready to know of the existence of extraterrestrial.00|00|0
Yeah but those are only the secrets we know about, think about it... if the reality was there was just as many secrets we didn't know as the ones we did... we wouldn't actually know about it, cause their still secret.
I don't know for sure but I think its entirely possible they do know and are covering it up, but lets be clear here, we arn't talking about the whole government because then it would be impossible to cover up. We're talking about a small group of power people within the government. It might sound like conspiracy theory bullshit, but ask yourself this, do we know that there are very powerful people in the world, in governments? sure we do, they exist.. do we know what they really do in their lives? no... IF you were one of these people, and you found out there was extraterrestrials, would you be tempted to keep it to yourself? if you did how would you go about it? when you put yourself inn their shoes, suddenly it all makes sense.. if ET's are real that is.
Like your former Minister of Defence.
