KFC Pledges To Stop Serving Chicken Raised On Antibiotics That Are Medically Important To Humans
This Pharmacy Ad Suggests "Very, Very Strong Antibiotics" Even When They Won't Do Any Good
When you're sick, it makes sense that you want a pill to just make all the symptoms go away, which is probably why some doctors continue to prescribe antibiotics even when they aren't necessary and may, in fact, cause harm. It probably doesn't help when a pharmacy perpetuates the myth that we should just take antibiotics whenever we might be sick. [More]
More Than 125,000 People Call On Burger King, KFC, Starbucks & Others To Curb Antibiotics Use
While a handful of fast food chains have made at least some commitment to reducing the use of antibiotics in livestock, the majority of these restaurants still have no policy when it comes to this issue. This morning, CEOs of those companies are receiving a petition signed by more than 125,000, asking them to do their part to help prevent the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. [More]
Burger King, Tim Hortons To Use Fewer Antibiotics In Chicken
Three months after earning its second consecutive "F" grade from public health advocates for its lack of any policy to limit the use of antibiotics in the meat it sources, Burger King's parent company — which also owns donut chain Tim Hortons — has finally announced plans to cut back on overusing some of these drugs in the chickens it uses. [More]
Sales Of Antibiotics For Farm Animals Continues To Increase, Despite FDA Guidance
Three years ago, the Food and Drug Administration — in response to growing concerns about the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria — issued long-delayed guidance to the pharmaceuticals industry, asking drugmakers to voluntarily stop selling antibiotics to farmers solely for the purpose of growth-promotion in cows, pigs, and chicken. And while sales of these drugs have indeed slowed, the latest FDA report shows that they are still on the rise. [More]
Why It's A Problem That Gene For Drug-Resistant Superbug Was Found On U.S. Farm
Antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria are nothing new on U.S. farms, so why are some people so concerned about the recent discovery, on an American pig farm, of a gene that confers resistance to a vital class of antibiotics? [More]
Only 52% Of Patients With Most Common Infections Receive Recommended Antibiotics
Earlier this year, a study showed that nearly one-in-three antibiotics prescriptions in the U.S. aren't necessary, and a new analysis of available medical data claims that only half of the people who receive antibiotics for the most common types of infection are receiving the right kind of drug. [More]
Report: 140 Medically Important Antibiotics Still Questionably Labeled For Farm Use
Companies that make antibiotics for use in farm animals have already agreed to remove growth-promotion indications from their products labels by the end of this year, but a new report claims that a large number of veterinary drugs that are also medically important to humans will still have labels that do little to curb the overuse of antibiotics on livestock.

FDA Rules: You Can't Sell "Anti-Bacterial" Hand Soap With Triclosan Anymore
After more than half a decade of various proposals, investigations, and dithering, the FDA today has announced that it's changing the rules. 19 active ingredients in your hand soap — most notably including triclosan, until recently very common — are going to be heading off the market.
Activist Investors Call On KFC To Phase Out Antibiotics In Chickens
With Wendy's, McDonald's, Papa John's, and Subway all making an effort to curb antibiotics overuse in chicken and other animals, some investors of Yum Brands say it's time for KFC to do its part. [More]
Academic Researchers Trying To Figure Out Especially Sneaky Strains Of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
Lab tests are supposed to tell doctors and researchers which antibiotics will work against a given infection, but some bacteria are able to sneak around these tests. The bacteria appear to be susceptible to the last-line antibiotics that health care providers use against resistant superbugs, but a remnant survives and re-colonizes the patient once the antibiotic treatment is over. [More]
In Wake Of Superbug Scare, Lawmakers Renew Push For New Antibiotics
Last week, military scientists confirmed the discovery of a patient in Pennsylvania infected with a bacteria that was not only resistant to many traditional antibiotics, but also contained a gene (MCR-1) making it resistant to colistin, an antibiotic of last resort used when all others are ineffective. In response, Senators are making a renewed push on bipartisan legislation intended to speed up the approval of new antibiotics. [More]
CDC Director: Drug-Resistant Superbug Means "Medicine Cabinet Is Empty"
You know that scene in action movies where the hero has fired every bullet, thrown every piece of throwable furniture, set off every explosive, but still the bad guy lurches forward? At that point, there's nothing left for the hero to do but run and pray. After the recent discovery in the U.S. of a bacteria that is resistant to a vital last-resort antibiotic, some scientists believe we're inching dangerously close to that run-and-pray moment in the world of medicine. [More]
Doctors Find Superbug Resistant To Last-Resort Antibiotic In Pennsylvania Woman
Welcome to the post-antibiotic world. Doctors say that a 49-year-old woman in Pennsylvania was infected with a "truly pan-drug resistant bacteria," in other words, a bacteria that will not respond to many known antibiotics. [More]
Antibiotic-Resistant Superbugs Could Kill Millions Every Year If Left Unchecked
Each year, some 700,000 people around the world die from antibiotic-resistant infections; that's more than 1,900 deaths per day. If nothing is done to curb the overuse of antibiotics — in humans, and in livestock and agriculture — these superbugs could eventually kill 1,100 people every hour. [More]
New Rules Will Shed Dim Light On Antibiotics Overuse In Farm Animals
Even though three-quarters of all antibiotics sold in the U.S. are used on farm animals, there is very little information available about how much of which drugs are being fed to cows, pigs, chickens, and turkeys. Newly finalized rules hope to provide more details on how these drugs are being used, but critics say the new data is only a small part of the bigger picture. [More]
Report: 30% Of Antibiotic Prescriptions Are Unnecessary
While the beef, pork, and poultry industries have been heavily criticized for using the large majority of antibiotics sold in the U.S. to fatten up their animals, that doesn't mean that American physicians are being terribly judicious about the antimicrobials they prescribe. A new report shines a light on just how many antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary, increasing the risk of developing drug-resistant superbugs. [More]
Cargill Cutting Back On Antibiotics In Its Beef
While several large chicken producers and buyers have made efforts to reduce the non-medical use of antibiotics, the beef industry has not been as quick to respond to growing concern among the medical community, and consumers at large, about the overuse of these medically important drugs in cows. But beef biggie Cargill has announced a plan to cut back on the vital antibiotics it provides to its bovines. [More]

Drama is an important strand of Bedford Girls' School's rich cultural heritage, designed to promote student confidence, creativity and imagination. Drama enables girls to develop a wide variety of essential life skills, including co-operation, collaboration, and communication.
We believe experiencing drama as a discrete subject from a young age enables our girls to grow into confident, thoughtful and articulate individuals. To which end we provide an exciting, well-structured programme of study which encourages girls to be bold, imaginative and reflective. All girls in Years 3 - 9 have drama lessons taught by specialist teachers as part of their core curriculum. The subject can then be chosen for study at GCSE, A Level or as part of the IB.
We are fortunate to have not one, but two drama studios as well as the larger Randle Hall. The main drama studio is well equipped and used for small-scale productions and showcase evenings. Our larger productions take place in the Assembly Hall.
We offer an extensive range of co-curricular opportunities which include speech and drama lessons, as well as the opportunity to take part in the school's youth theatre, drama clubs, theatre trips and an amazing variety of performance opportunities. Recent performances have included The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Antigone, The Sweeney Todd Shock 'n' Roll Show, Blood Wedding and Cinderella plus experimental drama presentations and showcases.

In a purely physical sense, my standards when it comes to women are that I'm not attracted to women who are obese. Outside of this specific, I often find myself having a very "open type" where I find myself naturally attracted to women with all different types of figures in a purely physical sense.
Over the past six years of my life, I've met endless amounts of women who fit the above standard who I've found physically attractive, however, I haven't met a woman who fits in to this category who perceives me to be attractive in this time. I've had no dating, physical or sexual encounters with women in six years.

beta-ureidopropionase 1
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the CN hydrolase family. Beta-ureidopropionase catalyzes the last step in the pyrimidine degradation pathway. The pyrimidine bases uracil and thymine are degraded via the consecutive action of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DHPDH), dihydropyrimidinase (DHP) and beta-ureidopropionase (UP) to beta-alanine and beta-aminoisobutyric acid, respectively. UP deficiencies are associated with N-carbamyl-beta-amino aciduria and may lead to abnormalities in neurological activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

1. Round Round [Extended]
2. Round Round [Joctan Remix Extended]
3. Round Round [Radio Edit]
4. Round Round [Joctan Remix Radio Edit]
"ROUND ROUND" is the new single by Yamppier feat. Fillo. After the successful collaboration in 2013 and 2014 respectively for "The One For Me" and "Everything", the two musicians try again, in 2015, with Round Round. The text, written and performed by Fillo, expresses feelings of anger and jealousy for a girl with whom he lived a rich love history that is now over. Melancholy is so great as to make him leave the music to look around the clubs who had attended together. This EDM production approaches the rhythm and sounds of Avicii, Alesso and Nicky Romero

My first graders spent the last 2 months working on persuasive/opinion writing in their classroom. I thought it would be a great partnership between my classroom and their classroom to merge our writing to reflect what they've been doing.
I strategically selected books from Reading A to Z that had similar stories, but different enough to form opinions on which book they preferred. Some books we read to write about were:
- Shoes Men Wear and Shoes Women Wear
- Going To The Dentist and Going To The Doctor
- Bonk's Camping Trip and Bonk's Big Splash
- All About Farms and All About Factories
- City Animals and Country Animals
- Rude Robot and Penny the Rude Penguin
We read more than just those books above, but that gives you a general idea of some of the ways we partnered books up to be roughly the same topic but different enough for students to form opinions. We started by reading both books and then following the OREO format (Opinion, Reasons, Examples, Opinion restated) students picked their favorite book and then had to write about why it was their favorite book. Each week we would read a new set of books and then write an opinion on one of the books. We started with their favorite book and then moved to favorite part, then favorite character, then student choice. Students could also choose to write about their least favorite book, part, or character as well for student choice.
Once we finished our 6 opinion papers, students compiled them into a book order, made a table of contents, and cover page, then we sent the books out to be spiral bound into real books.
The 1st graders then were able to share their books with all the other kids in the classroom before being able to take their books home. They were so proud of the finished product after 7 weeks of hard work.

ASHLEY HALL: A huge swathe of forests protected under Tasmania's peace deal are up for world heritage nomination this weekend.
The World Heritage Committee is starting a two week long meeting in Cambodia on Sunday.
Among the agenda items is whether to add another 170,000 hectares to the Tasmanian World Heritage area.
Environmentalists have their fingers crossed but the Aboriginal community wants the nomination deferred.
Felicity Ogilvie reports from Hobart.
FELICITY OGILVIE: It's a moment the Australian Greens Leader Christine Milne has spent decades fighting for. She's hopes Tasmania's World Heritage area will be extended at the UNESCO meeting in Cambodia.
CHRISTINE MILNE: The inclusion of these high conservation value forests with absolute world heritage values has been something that I've been campaigning for since 1989. They should have gone into the expansion of the world heritage area back then.
FELICITY OGILVIE: The disputed forests are being protected as part of the forest peace deal.
Vica Bayley from the Wilderness Society is one of the key negotiators.
VICA BAYLEY: Some of these forests are the tallest hardwood trees on the planet. They extend as a contiguous band all the way from the far south at Cockle Creek up into the central highlands and the upper Derwent and then around to the Great Western Tiers. So these are areas of outstanding natural values.
FELICITY OGILVIE: If the World Heritage Committee rejects the nomination for any reason or delays it, what affect will that have on the forest agreement?
VICA BAYLEY: That would be yet to play out but it would, I would imagine, seriously destabilise things with federal politics the way they are at the moment.
FELICITY OGILVIE: The Federal Opposition has written to the World Heritage Committee saying they are against the nomination.
And that's not the only hitch.
A key adviser to the World Heritage Committee wants the members to refer the nomination back to the Australian Government. The reason is they want the Government to do more consultation with the Aboriginal community about the cultural values of the land.
The Federal Environment Minister Tony Burke says a comprehensive response has been made, which he expects will satisfy every objection.
Michael Mansell from the Tasmanian Aboriginal Community says he has met the Minister to discuss the nomination.
MICHAEL MANSELL: No one could claim that an Aboriginal delegation being rushed in and rushed out of the Minister's office for 15 minutes constitutes genuine consultation. And so our view is that the, it is not appropriate at this stage in time for the proposal to go forward to the world committee. It should be deferred.
FELICITY OGILVIE: What are the Aboriginal cultural values and special sites in this area?
MICHAEL MANSELL: Well up, yeah, up around the Great Lakes and Arthurs Lakes, up around the Western Tiers area, were many Aboriginal villages where Aboriginal people were hunted out, shot on site. Some of those hollow trees in that area were the burial grounds of Aboriginal people because the ground was so hard that the bodies were placed in the hollow trees.
The famous Aboriginal walking tracks that the tribes used, from as far down as the Styx Valley right up to the Great Western Tiers and beyond, are still in that region and these are very sensitive spiritual areas to Aboriginal people.
FELICITY OGILVIE: Mr Mansell does want the World Heritage area extended but he says Aboriginal people should manage it rather than the Tasmanian Parks Service.
The decision by the World Heritage Committee could be made as early as Sunday or as late as Thursday the 27th June.

What's carbohydrate counting and should my dad do it?
My father, recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, is beginning to make changes in his diet. What's carbohydrate counting and could it be helpful for my dad?
Expert Answers
Carbohydrate counting is a method of meal planning based on estimating how many carbohydrates, measured in grams, are in a food. Carbohydrates include sugar, foods high in starch such as potatoes and pasta, and fiber-filled foods such as grain-based breads and cereals. Carbs are also found in fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and many beverages. These nutrients are a major energy source for the body and have the greatest impact on raising blood glucose of any food group.
People with type 1 diabetes use carbohydrate counting to figure out how much insulin they need to take. For people with type 2 diabetes like your dad, counting carbs may be helpful in making certain his diet stays balanced, but it's something he should discuss with his doctor or diabetes educator before attempting on his own.
That said, it's a great way to analyze blood sugar patterns, because it helps your dad understand the effect different foods have on his blood glucose level. On a practical level, here's how it works: Your dad will discover, say, that a typical cheese sandwich has 30 grams of carbs, whereas a 6-inch sub sandwich may have 45 grams of carbs, so maybe he'll opt for the simple cheese sandwich. Or when he's eating spaghetti and meatballs, he'll learn to factor in that one cup of pasta equals 45 grams of carbs.
I recommend carb counting to anyone who has diabetes, but not everyone is able to do it. Whether or not it's a worthwhile practice for your father depends on a few factors. If he's fairly uninformed about the nutritional content of food, perhaps because he's never paid much attention to what he eats, and his idea of a good meal is a TV dinner, then introducing this somewhat complex concept may be beyond his abilities right now.
On the other hand, if your dad is the kind of person who's very detail oriented, he may quickly and easily incorporate carb counting into his diabetes treatment plan, and it would likely be beneficial for him. His doctor can probably give him a guide that lists carb counts for thousands of foods, or he can easily buy one. I use a pocket-sized guide called the "CalorieKing Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter." Compiled by a dietician and health educator, this handy tool can be [link}ordered online[LINK http://www.calorieking.com/shop/item.php?product_id=11].
Carbohydrate counts can be found on the nutrition facts labels of most packaged foods. If your father wants to learn more about the benefits of carbohydrate counting and whether it could help, bring it up next time you and he meet with his diabetes educator or dietician.

As soon as this article goes up people are going to get angry and say 'How dare a Christian ministry talk about Mel Gibson, he said such awful things about his ex-wife, etc…' Well, everyone has said awful things when they feel they have been pushed to the edge. Leave Mel Gibson alone.
What you all can't deny is that Mel Gibson has a God given talent for storytelling and moviemaking.
Remember that amazing moment when "The Passion of the Christ" was released? It was a debated topic for months. Some found it overly violent, some were astonished Hollywood and Movie Theaters would release a Christian movie, others angry of the depiction of the story – and so on and so forth.
Well, Mel Gibson is coming back with a sequel about the "The Resurrection of The Christ" and he is using his friend, and Believer in Jesus Christ, Randall Wallace who helped write "Braveheart" and "Heaven is For Real". Randall Wallace studied religion at Duke University and is excited to tell the story of Jesus Christ.
"I always wanted to tell this story. The Passion is the beginning and there's a lot more story to tell." Mr. Wallace goes on to say, "The evangelical community considers The Passion the biggest movie ever out of Hollywood, and they kept telling us that they think a sequel will be even bigger."
The Passion of The Christ Trailer (HD)
What atheists and scoffers like to say is that Jesus Christ is a myth, there is no historicity to him and that he was a story conjured up by fanatical followers. Well, that's not true and Randall Wallace understands that. There is more proof for Jesus Christ than the scoffers want to admit!
After Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead, he walked around Jerusalem with his disciples. This isn't just the 'Holy Bible' declaring this truth… This is secular historians documenting this truth!
Matthew 28:16-17 "And when they saw him, they worshiped him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."
The resurrection of Jesus Christ was incredibly newsworthy that even the city of Jerusalem was talking about it. In Luke 24:17-18 a man by the name of Cleopas was traveling with Peter to the village of Emmaus. When Jesus Christ approached the believers and asked "What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
Cleopas responds to Christ, "Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and has not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?"
Christ answered, "What things?"
As Peter and Cleopas entered the village of Emmaus, they asked Christ to stay with them that night before travelling onward to Jerusalem. As Christ blessed the bread they were having for dinner, he vanished. Peter and Cleopas were in such shock from the very start when walking with Christ, that it wasn't until he left that they realized they were walking, talking and eating with Jesus Christ.
Luke 24:33 – "And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have."
Jesus Christ was seen by over 500 brethren in Christ before he departed us to be with our Father God in Heaven (1 Corinthians 3-7). I hope Randall Wallace and Mel Gibson do indeed make this film something remarkable to watch. Something that will force scoffers and unbelievers to re-read history and come to the truth that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh and dwelt on Earth to save mankind from damnation. There is no better historical, biographical, documentary love-story humans could ever make. The Holy Bible is beyond fantasy… It is reality.
This isn't the only Christian based film Mel Gibson and Randall Wallace are working on. Later this year "Hacksaw Ridge" will be coming out. It is a biopic of a highly decorated war medic during WWII who is a Believer in Jesus Christ.
Let's hope and pray that the Lord Jesus Christ uses everything going on in our country as a catapult for Revival.
Thank you Mel Gibson and Randall Wallace for doing something this "daring" in a world that considers the Truth in Jesus Christ as a threat to society.
Are You Truly Saved? Do You Know Jesus Christ?
If you don't know Jesus Christ is your savior, call us at 855 BIG DINO (244-3466) and let's pray together. Jesus Christ loves you, he is simple yet brilliant, gentle and humble. He loves you more than you know. Don't get caught up in confusion and dismay. Watch the video below and give your heart to the Lord. There is total freedom in him, you just may not know it yet!

An overwhelming and blessing November!!
Hello Mommies! Hope all is well with you ladies! I've had a crazy November......I've recently gave birth to my son Austen on 11-7-14, 7 lbs and 4 oz! (now 8 lbs 7 oz). I've had a C-Section and a partial hysterectomy four days apart due to an infection caused by the C-Section :(. My son is still in the hospital because I passed my skin condition to him. Doctors fail to see how sensitive his skin was after taking him out and wiped parts of his skin off. Right now he is doing a lot better, the only thing that is keeping him from coming home is his bottle feeding. Hoping my little kooka bug come home before Christmas!! Happy Thanksgiving moms
he is such a cutie! hope he feels better! Happy Thanksgiving!
Congrats! I hope he gets better soon and you get to take him home! He is such a little sweetheart.
Awe, He's soo adorable! Congratulations, Happy Thanksgiving!

When you view our fabulously-designed pine parquet flooring you'll see how we were influenced when we named it. Made up of random sizes of different sources of reclaimed pine wood every section is different.
This is a bespoke product that we can tailor to your needs, and can be used to set off any interior. If you want to jazz up a room in your home, create a stir in the office, or your shop floor to have an impact this bespoke pine parquet will do the job.
This unique flooring is engineered, meaning the top layer is pure pine and covers an under-layer made up of birch-plywood for more stability. Engineered flooring is perfect for under floor heating and is designed to work with it and ensure your heating system distributes heat efficiently.
If you like clean modern lines, geometric patterns, and a linear style then this is the pine parquet flooring to create the simplistic look. It works well in all styles of home or commercial premises and can give drama and effect to an otherwise plain area.

David Okuniev met Robert Muñoz while the two were running their own small digital UI and development agencies out of the same co-working space in Barcelona. Between working for fellow startups, agencies and other clients, the fellow entrepreneurs struck up a friendship and eventually collaborated on a project. The assignment was to build a lead generation form that would sit inside a 3D application in their client's exhibition space. The two were inspired by the 1983 movie, WarGames, which features a conversational computer interface. "We didn't want to build a plain vanilla form," says Okuniev. "We liked the idea of the computer having a personality, so we took that on board, made a form out of it, and that's how we got started on Typeform."
After delivering on the original assignment, Okuniev and Muñoz created a back-end for the concept so they could resell it to their other clients. When the duo eventually realized that their design might be viable as a standalone product, they began rebuilding the back-end in HTML. (The first iteration had been built in Flash.) For two years they worked on the project during downtime with resources from their two agencies, and in February of 2013 they launched their beta and went full-time on the project.
Today, Typeform is reinventing the way people create and respond to surveys and other types of forms. Their mission is simple: Make forms awesome. Their user-friendly, "human" approach to design and interactivity has proven to be a big success with both the people building forms and the people filling them out.
Throughout the experience Okuniev has gained a lot of insights about what it takes to found, lead and grow a company. "After making loads of mistakes, we're finally seeing things more clearly," he says. "One thing we've learned is that if you look at a company, there are three pillars: innovation, business and culture. If you're not optimizing on all three of those pillars, then one of them is going to suffer."
For example, a failure to create strong culture results in reduced motivation to innovate, which will limit your business potential. Or, if the business end of things isn't working well, no one will have time to experiment with new innovations and the culture will suffer from a sinking morale.
"If I did another startup," Okuniev says, "I would put a lot of focus on those three things very early on. I would plan projects that contribute directly to pushing each of those three pillars forward."
Typeform is loved far and wide for its UI and design. The easy-to-use and beautiful interfaces transform even the most pedestrian form into an opportunity to engage and delight. This ground-breaking design emerged from a simple observation. As Okuniev puts it, "Forms suck; how can we make them better?" From that somewhat blunt beginning, Okuniev and Muñoz began crafting a solution to the problem. "If you think about it," Okuniev explains, "forms were conceived at a time when there wasn't CSS3, CSS animations or anything like that. We wondered what we'd get if we applied today's technology to forms."
From day one, the duo kept their approach simple. "We had just one guiding principle," Okuniev says, "make this as awesome as possible." To reach this goal, they kept the user's needs in mind at all times. "Focusing on the user was really important," Okuniev explains. "That's why we chose to display one question at a time while still keeping the follow-up questions visible for context. We wanted to make sure the design was simple enough that it could eventually become a standard."
To complement their streamlined designs, the team ensured that the mechanics were similarly elegant. "The animations aren't over-exaggerated," Okuniev says. "It's just a simple, easy, in-out transition that you don't get tired of, even with repetitive use. In the end, we wanted the design to be as invisible as possible. We wanted it to be a facilitator rather than a show off."
The evolution of the product's design was very intentional. The first version (the one built in Flash) incorporated several decorative elements like a glowing cursor and questions that typed themselves out (much like the computer in WarGames). As they worked on later iterations, Okuniev and Muñoz made decisions based on the future of their product. "We knew that if we wanted to create something that would become a standard, we couldn't make it too gimmicky," explains Okuniev. "So, we held back a lot on the design, and I think that served us well."
In addition to tackling a unique problem and taking a super-simplified approach, something else that Okuniev and Muñoz did differently was eliminating user feedback from their development and testing process. "The form that you see today is pretty much the same form that we built at the outset," says Okuniev. "We were just designers solving a puzzle. It was like working in a bubble."
Okuniev believes that working in that bubble gave the project an advantage. "If we had done early user testing, we might have been put off trying to solve some problems," he explains. "The fact that we didn't take feedback and were very driven by a single, focused mission meant that we never gave up on ideas, even when they didn't work out right away."
Even to this day, Okuniev and his team stand by this approach. "Nowadays we're very metrics driven as a company in general," Okuniev says, "but as far as the design process goes, it's still very much gut-based."
Okuniev and Muñoz approached the business end of things with the same kind of simple and straightforward style that they'd employed in building their product. They launched the product as completely free, knowing that they would add a paid tier at a later date. They set their initial prices based on a very informal survey of the market. "We literally just looked at what legacy players were charging and priced around that," Okuniev says.
Over time, they added the paid tier and increased prices gradually. Most recently, they increased the monthly fee on the mid-tier PRO version from $25 to $35. "Nobody batted an eye," says Okuniev. "Our conversions didn't go down at all, and none of the new users complained that the price was too expensive."
Despite this reasonably stress-free increase, Okuniev is typically pretty conservative with pricing. "I've heard from loads of sources that you can experiment with pricing, push it hard and probably get away with quite a lot," he says. But that's not the kind of pricing strategy for Okuniev. Instead, he remains focused on the original mission to rid the world of boring forms. "Most companies doing data collection and surveys do pretty much the same thing – produce vanilla forms and some kind of back-end to build the forms and analyze the data," he explains. "Because we're one of the first design-centric companies that is solving a business problem, we're able to differentiate ourselves by delivering something else. So, we're not really competing on price."
That product focus isn't just driving design and pricing, it's also Typeform's go-to-market strategy. The company doesn't have a sales team and hasn't done any traditional marketing. "We basically say that product is our growth engine," says Okuniev. "Most of our sign-ups come from people filling in a Typeform, loving the experience and then checking us out. We have a viral loop with a coefficient of 0.5 that drives traffic to our own company."
Though they don't have a sales team, they do have a customer success team to help with retention and upselling. "Now that we have our PRO+ plan, we're just upselling and that's it," Okuniev says. "We may eventually have to hire enterprise sales teams, but we'd do it not as a means to grow, but as a way to service clients like Uber who have 70 PRO accounts. We're not doing any cold calling or looking for leads. Everything is product here."
Other than having a standout product, Okuniev has learned that hiring the right people is critical to a company's success. "If you hire B players, you're going to have a B team," he says. "But, not always. You can find really talented people who just procrastinate until the end of days. On the other hand, if you put passionate, hard-working people in the right environment and give them support, they can really excel."
"Our criteria for finding people is: smart, humble and passionate," Okuniev says. "These are the people we need to hire – people who will come into the team and support culture, business and innovation."
To help facilitate the intentional support of those three pillars, part of the Typeform culture is using the Salesforce-inspired V2MOM management system to set goals for the company, teams and individuals. "We have a company-wide V2MOM and then each team and each individual also has a unique V2MOM. The company V2MOM is split into three sections in terms of the methods and measures, and we have projects for business, for innovation and for culture." Team and individual V2MOMs roll up under the company V2MOM, ensuring that everyone is aligned and moving in the right direction.
They started with a simple idea, built a company on a strong and singular focus and now align their team around a shared culture and unified objectives. Though, like everyone, they had to learn a lot along the way, the Typeform team is clearly going places and looks to have a good shot at fulfilling their mission of making forms awesome.

Roller as means of training for ice
I play ice, and really want to work on basics: puck control, pylons, passing and receiving, etc. My options for this on ice are very limited, so I though about buying inline skates and practicing outdoors with friends.
The questions is: how useful this kind of practice will be for me as on an ice player? I'm not interested in really playing inline, it's just a way to build skills and take them to the ice.
What are key differences between ice and roller, in terms of techinque (not tactics or rules)? I never put on inline skates, so I have no idea what it would be like. Thanks.
Skating is a lot different, there's no inside or outside edge and the weight shift is different stopping.
The puck drags outdoors so you have to work the puck a little more.
Other than that, it's still hockey.
Try to use a smartball instead of a rollerhockey puck. It will roll much more like a puck slides and feel more like a real puck. For shooting I'd guess you'd want to use a puck since a ball has a much different shape than a puck. The added friction of a concrete-like surface makes up a bit for the reduced weight, but it's still not the same as shooting a real puck on ice. Other than that, just read the post above this :)
There is obviously a transition in the feel of ice and a puck to roller and a puck, but the more time you spend skating and handling a puck the better you will be.
Work on fundamentals like strengthening your stride and improving your quickness but most importantly keeping your head up to handle.
Even skating on the street with a tennis ball will do a great deal to improve your ice game. Work less on the technique of handling the puck as it is a lot different on ice, work mainly on handling with your head up.
Also, shooting a puck on any surface will improve your shot.

Agency: Newhaven
Client: Scottish Government
Eighties pop icon Gary Numan is starring in a new campaign from the Scottish Government that encourages drivers to leave their cars at home.
The Go Greener travel and transport campaign is asking drivers - like Gary - to leave the car at home when they can, particularly for shorter journeys.
Featuring Numan and his number one single 'Cars', the TV adverts will promote a 'travel differently' message. Radio, outdoor and online advertising will also be used featuring the campaign's Mr Earth character.
"We fully appreciate that people need to use their cars when going about their daily lives, whether that is for business or for leisure. However cars make a serious contribution to emissions of greenhouse gases as well as contributing to local air pollution," said Transport Minister, Stewart Stevenson.
"If we want to tackle the effects of climate change and achieve our world-leading emissions reduction targets, it is clear we all need to take action in a range of areas, including our travel choices."
He added, "One in three journeys are less than two miles and drivers could help cut emissions as well as pocket some savings by leaving their car at home at least once a week."
"The Government is also taking action by investing in infrastructure that tackles congestion, improves connectivity and reduces journey times. We are building new rail lines, improving the bus network and putting money into other forms of sustainable travel such as cycling and walking. But we all need to do more to address our travel behaviour."
Gary Numan added that he was surprised to be asked to from the campaign.
" I'm known for liking my cars, but when I saw the idea I was delighted to take part," he said "The campaign has really made me think about using my car on little unnecessary journeys and from now on I'll definitely be leaving it at home more."

I have adult onset hormonal acne (with PCOS) and it's very difficult to treat. For me, when acne is crazy out of control, hugely swollen and red, really painful and deep under the skin, this stuff helps me get through it. It helps severe breakouts resolve faster. It soothes the big painful blemishes, quickly reduces redness and swelling, dries pimples out, and makes blemishes come to the surface faster and heal faster.
I don't think it does much to prevent acne and I wouldn't recommend it for daily use, but I use it whenever I am really fed up with my skin and it always noticeably improves my skin overnight. It isn't going to make your skin perfect all the time, but it helps when you are having a bad time. It's the best thing I've found to use for a spot treatment.
When this stuff dries on your face, it's so absorbent it sucks a lot of crap right out of your face. It does pull a lot of the oils out of your skin so if your skin tends to get dry just be careful. You might not want to use it too often or leave it on too long, or you may just need to use plenty of moisturizer when you remove the mask.
I see a lot of people on here complaining about the smell and I honestly have never thought that it smelled bad. I think it smells like clay or chalk. I think it's a clean soothing smell, not gross at all! It does contain sulfur so maybe some people are more sensitive to the smell of sulfur than I am?
I've tried a lot of proactiv products and this mask is the only one that ever really gave me any results.

IThe benefits of digital multimedia contents like digital cinema, digital music are numerous which include significantly lower distribution and maintenance costs, immediate access to film libraries, higher presentation quality, and strong potential for developing new business models. Despite these advantages, the industry is still reluctant to jump into the digital age. Peer to peer networks over Internet are heavens for pirated digital contents, particularly about multimedia. There is a huge set of problems like Content Management, Royalty, Authentication & sharing of a multimedia file over the network.

Conducting periodical reviews of a software's source code is a beneficial practice. It improves the overall quality of code, it introduces team members to code they have not worked with, and it can also be used for impromptu training sessions. In this article we describe the benefits and pitfalls of conducting code reviews, and a process that can be followed as is or customized for a particular organizations.

Push to Talk over Cellular (PoC) Beyond the scope of a Value Added Service
Lavanya Lakshman
PTT stands for Push to Talk and PoC stands for Push to Talk over Cellular. Push-to-talk technology enables callers to connect to other cell phones with just the push of a single button, similar to a walkie-talkie. This is a half-duplex voice service hence only one person can talk at a time, and there is no need to dial a number. GPRS, WCDMA and CDMA2000 networks can all, if tuned correctly, meet the PoC technical demands. UMTS is the latest addition to this list.

The ability of a Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) to provide adequate quality of service (QoS) is limited by the ability of the underlying routing protocol to provide consistent behavior despite the inherent dynamics of a mobile computing environment. In this paper we study three MANET routing protocols, OLSR, DSR and AODV, with an emphasis on the effect they have on various QoS metrics. We describe and analyze how the protocols differ in the mechanisms they use to select paths, detect broken links, and buffer messages during periods of link outage. The effects of these differences are quantified in terms of packet delivery ratio, end-to-end hop count, end-to-end latency, and mechanism overhead. We show that the proactive protocol, OLSR, builds paths with consistently lower hop counts than the reactive protocols, AODV and DSR, a fact that leads to a reduction in end-to-end latency. The reduction in end-to-end latency assists a QoS model in meeting timing requirements and improves global network performance. We further show the impact of broken link detection latency on the packet delivery ratio. A routing protocol that cannot quickly recover from link breakage caused by mobility renders a QoS model incapable of meeting delivery requirements. Finally, we analyze the effect of mobility on the distribution of end-to-end latencies.
Performance Analysis of Heterogeneous Network using Analytical Method
S. Sriram
Packet loss and delay in Internet degrade the quality of requested services like VoIP (Voice over IP) or Video Streaming. In network scenarios where wired and wireless connections are melted together, a real measure of these parameters is fundamental in a planning process of new services over network infrastructures. Nowadays networks are heterogeneous in terms of access network technologies (wired LAN Ethernet 10/100/1000, Wireless LAN - 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g -, GPRS, UMTS, GSM, Bluetooth, ...), end-users' devices (workstation, PC desktop, Laptop/Notebook, PDA, Advanced Mobile Phone, ...) and finally operating systems (Unix, Linux, Win 98/NT/2000/XP, Win CE, Linux Familiar, OS Embedded, ...). In this work I provide a Heterogeneous network performance characterization with respect to delay in the network.

In this report, I am focusing on the problems that occur when we want a computer to understand the contents of a paragraph and answer the questions based on what it has understood. The computer has to have a certain level of intelligence for doing this. Like humans, it should be able to understand the text in the passage and draw inferences from that. The passage will be in English, a Natural language.

0 An open letter from White City in respose to a recent press article
White City formed in 2006 in Kabul, Afghanistan, playing in and around the local Kabul community, for both ex-pats and locals.
In 2009 we met an up and coming indie rock band called Kabul Dreams and became friends. Shortly after we met Afghan metallers, District Unknown. We built a studio at our home and welcomed these bands to rehearse there. Then we decided to put together a battle of the bands concert at our own expense at a special venue so both Afghans and foreigners could both enjoy the music. Kabul Dreams walked away with the top prize.
The success of the night inspired our guitarist, Travis Beard, to create Sound Central Festival, an annual event showcasing international and local bands with a majority being Afghan talent, which allowed 1000s of Afghan youth to experience art and music in a safe environment with an entire day each year dedicated to Afghan women.
The rapid growth of the Afghan rock scene has astounded and delighted us and is a testimony to the talent and commitment of Afghan artists.
White City have never claimed to be Afghan. In fact on our website it specifically says we are not Afghan. But we formed, evolved and based ourselves in Afghanistan over 8 years. When SXSW invited us to play and asked which country we were coming from, there was only one truthful answer.
We're very privileged to have been able to contribute to building the Afghan rock scene and we continue to support, and consider friends, bands like Morcha, White Page, District Unknown and Kabul Dreams among many others.
It saddens us greatly that the lead singer of the unnamed rock band quoted in a recent Al Jazeera article is angered by a matter of semantics. We have worked hard over several years to share stages with local Afghan bands and invite all fans, Afghan and international, to our gigs.
We wish all musicians who work and play in Afghanistan the best and we look forward to sharing a stage with Kabul Dreams at SXSW this month. As Rolling Stone quoted in an article on Sound Central Festival in 2011, "Peace, Love and Amplifiers". White City.

SEVERE thunderstorms ravaged NSW at the start of the week and now parts of the state are on flood watch.
In past days in the Central West, long paddocks previously crowded with stock are now carriageways for disc sets, tines and seeding rigs.
An intense storm outbreak occurred early in the week as an upper-level low pressure system moved across the state's interior from south to north.
The low interacted with warm and moisture-laden air flowing in from the Tasman Sea, resulting in widespread and intense storms over the eastern half of the state.
Some of the more severe storms occurred over the Central West and North West Slopes and Plains, near the upper low.
Dubbo experienced flash flooding on Monday after 69mm of rain fell between midday and 5pm.
This was the heaviest rain since 2013 and the heaviest for March in 17 years.
Hail covered the ground in and around Dubbo, with some hailstones the size of golf balls.
By 9am Monday, 20mm of rain had dumped on Dubbo, by lunchtime the city and surrounding areas had received the March monthly average, and by 4pm 72mm had drains backing up.
Stock agents, vendors and buyers attending the weekly sheep and lamb sale at the Troy saleyards were caught out as hail stripped leaves off trees.
Staff of nearby Fletcher International Exports abattoir offered dry clothing to several people drenched by the downpours.
Dubbo State Emergency Service personnel were called out to some 50 Dubbo homes that had been inundated with flooding water from the drenching.
Meanwhile surrounding areas such as Wellington received 34mm, Dunedoo 24, Manildra 35, just 12mm at Kandos but 39 at Hill End, Nyngan 18, Cowra 17, Forbes 22 and 23mm at Condobolin.
Some Illawarra areas caught 10 to 70mm.
Further east, areas around Orange, including Forest Reefs and Blayney received 46mm spread over Monday night and Tuesday morning.
Also on Monday, Moree collected more than a month's worth of rain in one hour, when 55mm fell between 6pm and 7pm.
Parkes picked up 50mm in nine hours, its heaviest fall in three years.
More than 50mm fell on Tenterfield, most of it on Sunday and Monday, which needed it just as badly as the dry coastal valley.
Inverell recorded 88mm for the week, although that district didn't need it as bad.
Storms continued on Tuesday and Wednesday, although the focus of the heaviest falls shifted towards the coast.
Goonengerry received 182mm during the 24 hours to 9am on Wednesday while Mullumbimby received 259mm for the week – the most in the state.
Nearby Mullumbimby had 129mm, the town's heaviest fall since last June and half a month's worth of rain for this time of year.
Drought has finally broken on the lower Clarence, with falls this week above 130mm around Ulmarra. Until this week the lower river had received little rain since last spring.
The mid Macleay gratefully received timely rain with more than 150mm for the week – almost as much as the fabled Mount Seaview, which recorded 177 for the seven days to Thursday.
The upper Hastings recieved more than 100mm in most places while the coast at Port Macquarie had double that. the Manning fared well too with up to 50 in the upper valley and double that downriver.
The rain-starved Hunter has mostly missed out on this system, with Scone getting 15mm for the week and the coast at Newcastle going above 60mm.
Isolated thunderstorm activity will continue over the eastern half of NSW during the remainder of this week.
The heaviest falls are likely to occur east of the ranges, thanks to a deepening trough near the coast.
Flooding is an increased risk during this week's second half about the state's northeast coast and adjacent ranges.
While the week started with intense storms over the slopes and plains, it could end with flooding east of the Divide.

England all-rounder Paul Collingwood has said he intends to play with a shoulder injury rather than risk an operation which could see him lose his place in the side.
Collingwood, who throws right-handed, was treated for a sore right shoulder following Durham's loss to Lancashire at Old Trafford last week.
His latest shoulder problem came just as England's selectors were finalising their team for the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's, starting on Thursday.
Collinwgood, widely regarded as England's best outfielder admitted at Lord's here on Monday that he could not have many more cortisone injections to numb the pain of an injury he first suffered on the pre-Christmas tour of Sri Lanka.
"I had a cortisone injection on Friday night," Collingwood said. "I was not allowed to do anything for three days, just like the last two (injections). I've had in my shoulder which have responded 100 percent to it.
"I'll have a bit of a throw and a bit of a bat today (Monday), and I'm sure it'll be fine.
"Hopefully we can manage these things. This is the last injection I can have in this particular area, I can't have too many," Collingwood, a middle-order batsman and medium-pace bowler, added.
"Surgery is obviously a possibility but I'm not going to worry about it, because this cortisone will work for the next two months at least."
Collingwood's injury comes at a time when England already know they will be without star all-rounder Andrew Flintoff for the first two Tests of a three-match series against New Zealand because of a side strain.
Were Collingwood to be ruled out as well, it would prompt a major re-think by the selectors regarding the balance of their side.
Not that the 31-year-old Durham player is expecting to be forced out.
England's congested schedule means there is little time off for players such as Collingwood who are regulars in both the Test and one-day sides.
And with some potentially lucrative fixtures on the horizon, such as the proposed 'million-dollar' match between England and a Caribbean side put together by Texan billionaire Allen Stanford, Collingwood is reluctant to give up his place voluntarily
"There's never any gap when can you have three to six months off. Touch wood I can keep this strong and work on all the shoulder routines I can do.
"It's pretty hard work but that's what you've got to do," said Collingwood, who has appeared in England's last 29 Tests.
"I saw the the surgeon on Friday night and had a scan. It (surgery) was mentioned. Three to six months would be the time out. But there's no point in getting it done there and then, when one injection would get me through.
"A lot of cricketers have the same problem, whether they dive around at backward point or bowl a few overs. Until the day comes when it's affecting me on the field, I won't worry."
"Surgery is the last resort, because you miss so much cricket and you never know how you'll respond," added Collingwood.
"I'm not going to go away for an operation and expect to get my spot back.
"There's this million-pound match, a lot of big series and every game for England is a massive game.
"You can get complacent and say you'll have a few months off, but that's not the case, I'm 32-years-old coming up next week.
"At the moment I'm very optimistic about this injection. There's no chance I'll miss this match (the first Test)."

07-25-2012 Moody's has Put Penn State on notice of a credit downgrade showing a faltering confidence in the university's ability to survive the Sandusky child abuse scandal. Currently positioned at Aa1, the highest rating possible, suggesting little to no risk of default. However, the implications of a cumulative $60 million dollar fine are starting to worry creditors. It's not that the school can't make the payments over the next 5 years. They can, and then some. Except, the where the fine money comes from is being regulated, and it all comes down to their football program. No other sport programs funding or enrollment can be cut during these payoffs. Funding from the state cannot help out either. In short, it's got to be the football program that eats this bill. The question is, will they survive it? For the next five years Penn State won't be seeing new facilities, training regiments, scholarships, or really any additional funding. And 5 years is a long time-long enough to put them off their competitive edge for the next 10 years. Sponsors like StateFarm are already pulling their sponsorships. Student enrollment is down. And while the school may choose to make substantial cutbacks, none of their savings may go towards paying off the penalty. Moody's says that Penn State has about $1 billion worth of debt, and a downgrade would make it that much harder for the school to borrow.For more news and updates, keep watching the financial news network.

The recent discovery of the ultraluminous quasar SDSS J010013.02+280225.8 at redshift 6.3 has exacerbated the time compression problem implied by the appearance of supermassive black holes only approximately 900 Myr after the big bang, and only approximately 500 Myr beyond the formation of Pop II and III stars. Aside from heralding the onset of cosmic re-ionization, these first and second generation stars could have reasonably produced the approximately 5–20 M⊙ seeds that eventually grew into z approximately 6–7 quasars. But this process would have taken approximately 900 Myr, a timeline that appears to be at odds with the predictions of ΛCDM without an anomalously high accretion rate, or some exotic creation of approximately 105 M⊙ seeds. There is no evidence of either of these happening in the local Universe. In this paper, we show that a much simpler, more elegant solution to the supermassive black hole anomaly is instead to view this process using the age–redshift relation predicted by the Rh=ct Universe, an Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) cosmology with zero active mass. In this context, cosmic re-ionization lasted from t approximately 883 Myr to approximately 2 Gyr (), so approximately 5–20 M⊙ black hole seeds formed shortly after re-ionization had begun, would have evolved into approximately 1010 M⊙ quasars by z approximately 6–7 simply via the standard Eddington-limited accretion rate. The consistency of these observations with the age–redshift relationship predicted by Rh=ct supports the existence of dark energy; but not in the form of a cosmological constant.

text: At the Mylan ( MYL) annual meeting in late July, Chairman Milan Puskar had a simple message for shareholders: "Keep the faith." In the two months before the meeting and in the four months following it, shareholders of the generic drugmaker have had their own message: "Sell the stock." Recently, Mylan's shares have dropped to levels not seen in more than five years on a split-adjusted basis, hitting an intraday low of $12.93 on Nov. 21. It closed at $13.61 on Nov. 23, and is down 39% since early May. Earlier this month, major bond-rating firms cut their credit ratings, pushing Mylan deeper into junk-bond territory. Mylan makes the bond guys nervous and the equity guys jittery over its $6.8 billion purchase in October of the generic-drug division of Merck KGaA, the German drug and chemical conglomerate. Analysts like the fact that Mylan is now the world's third-largest generic-drugmaker by sales, significantly expanding its size and geographic scope to compete with industry leaders Teva Pharmaceutical Industries ( TEVA) and the Sandoz division of Novartis ( NVS). But many also believe Mylan paid too much and assumed too much debt. They worry that Mylan lacks managerial experience for dealing with a sprawling enterprise spread over several continents. "We see Mylan management as the key source of risk for investors," says Aaron Gal, of Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., in a recent report. "We are concerned both about the company's lack of experience in global operations and its spotty track record in driving investor returns." Mylan has begun hiring top managers from companies with heavy international exposure, such as Pfizer ( PFE) and Sanofi-Aventis ( SNY).
