Does The New Tech Age Still Find Testing Relevant?
Of course it does. We are a company which sells drug and alcohol testing equipment. We certainly would not tell you otherwise. On a more serious note: we will explain why. Research by Murphy, Thornton and Reynolds shows us a detailed picture of how drug and alcohol testing in the workplace is seen by employees. [1] They found that factors such as experience, abuse by other individuals, politics, job experience and qualifications were all irrelevant. They simply did not factor into the personal perspectives of the staff at all. However, personal drug and alcohol abuse was positively correlated with negative reactions to testing, as well as inconsistent expectations of who is tested. In other words, if there was a disparity of testing or frequency of testing between management and lower-level employees, the testing procedures were seen in a strongly negative light, even by some members of management.
This research applies to the current age of high-tech innovation, even though drug and alcohol testing in the workplace is still gaining wider and wider acceptance across all industries.
What does this mean for you and your business? It is important to recognize the human aspect of every single company, no matter how technologically advanced or modern it is. A robot is not reading this blog; you are. You encounter feelings of competitiveness, jealousy, aggression, creativity, innovation, ideology, and hope. You may be able to completely shut these parts of humanity down for long periods of time, but not permanently. You still must interact with others inside of working, familial and economical communities. Your job must be seen, by you, as something worthwhile, gainful and positive. If other coworkers are receiving better treatment simply because they outrank you, then your urge to fight back is strong. If you are denied the freedom to show up to work drunk, then you may view company policy on drug and alcohol testing as complete ignorance.
The human aspect of innovative technology will never leave. There will always be individuals who abuse drugs and alcohol, and efficiently running businesses will always need to employ regular drug and alcohol testing procedures in order to remain efficient. The weaknesses, fragility, stresses and power of human interaction requires this need to be filled. Your company is a living, breathing organism of growth and productivity, and testing keeps this organism alive and flourishing.

text: Born Annie Doak in 1945, spent her childhood in the affluent Pittsburgh neighborhood of Point Breeze in a family of eccentrics: father once quit his job to float down the Mississippi, mother would accost strangers on the street claiming Annie was their illegitimate daughter. Studied English, theology and creative writing at Hollins College in Roanoke, Va. and married her writing teacher, R.H.W. Dillard (10 years her senior) while just a sophomore. In 1971 a near-fatal bout of pneumonia prompted her to spend four years living in a cabin in the Virginia wilderness. The result of this self-imposed isolation was the critically acclaimed neo-naturalist masterpiece Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, which won the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for Literature (non-fiction). Married Gary Clevidence and moved to Cape Cod in 1980 while teaching at Wesleyan University. Published numerous essays and collections during this time, including Teaching a Stone to Talk, The Writing Life and the memoir An American Childhood about growing up in Pittsburgh. Married her third husband, writer Robert Richardson, Jr., in 1989. Published first novel, We The Living, in 1992 and has spent the last fifteen years teaching and writing poetry, essays and literary criticism. Has been hailed as "One of the most distinctive voices in American letters today."

Italian Bean and Tuna Salad
Recipe by IngridH
This is a variation of a recipe from "Mediterranean Light". I've omitted a few ingredients (tomatoes and lettuce), and added a few of my own. If you don't eat eggs, you can leave them out with no problem. The original recipe called for a 6 1/2 ounce can of water packed tuna, I just prefer to work with fresh. Use whatever is easiest for you.
Top Review by Sydney Mike
Made this salad as per the recipe, although I did drain & rinse the kidney beans & cut the salt back to 1/4 teaspoon! Worked out well for us & we had a wonderfully flavorful salad! Many thanks for posting the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 medium red onion, sliced very thinly
- 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 6 ounces tuna steaks
- 1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, drained (white beans would be fine, too)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon plain low-fat yogurt
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained
- 3 eggs, hard boiled and chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced onion with 2 tablespoons of the red wine vinegar. Add enough water to the bowl to cover the onion. Let sit for 30 minutes, then drain.
- Season the tuna steak with salt and pepper. Cook to your desired doneness on a grill, broiler, or sauté pan. Let cool enough to handle. Break the tuna into bite sized pieces.
- Add the tuna and remaining ingredients to the drained onion, tossing gently to thoroughly combine the ingredients.
- Taste, and reseason if needed.
- Serve immediately, or chill and serve later.

We demonstrate the generation of high-contrast short pulses based on a mid-IR optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier with frequency doubling. Measurement-limited contrast higher than is obtained over a large temporal range from ~100 ps to before the peak of the main pulse. With the potential of pulse-energy scalability, the demonstrated scheme incorporating further chirped-pulse amplification in the near-IR range is applicable to petawatt power-level laser systems.

Penis extenders or penis stretchers were originally developed in the early 1970's to treat curvature in the penis. The original device faced a number of engineering flaws which decreased its efficiency and its wide spread adoption by doctors. Today, penis extenders are one of the most common products used by men today for non-surgical penis enlargement. The device uses the widely accepted principle of traction and the bodies' natural ability to adapt, force on the penile body results in an increase in penis size. The adult industry is one of the largest industries to take on these products, along with leading American and European cosmetic surgeons.
The potential of the penis extender was most recently noted in a clinical study. This study indicated that the penis extender device was effective in treating between 70-90% of all penile curvature as well as Peyronie's disease and the development of fibrous plaque on the penis shaft. The penis extender was able to successfully and non-surgically treat the curvature of the penis, however patients participating in the study also indicated an increase in penis size, between two to three inches.
The penis extender showed tremendous potential in preliminary studies and as a result a number of renowned doctors have chosen to prescribe the penis extender as an alternative treatment for penile curvature. These devices replace the risky procedures associated with surgery and Vitamin E injections.

So well, in real, people often say I am quite good looking, a couple of my friends even suggested i should try to be a model (though i am a little short for that but ok ha ha ). Also, I used to go on omegle and had camsex with some girls who were like blow my mind off hot and most of course i did not camsex but even during conversation it would start with them calling me hot or at least cute or handsome or whatever. However, in photos, I am like the average joe. Like whenever there is a photo in an event with a proper DSLR or something, I look good but I tried taking a selfie a couple of times, I look disgusting ha ha. So yeah, wanted to ask this.

I met a nice girl it's been great she's something I always wanted. She's sweet and gentle. I have been the best time w her past few months but I still can't get rid of the anger of my ex gf. I loved my ex so much my ex isn't anything like the girl I am dating right now. she's strong and very independent I felt almost like she doesn't need me. She's okay not being around me but when we were together it's always the best it's something I don't have it with my current gf. I wanted to do anything for my ex she's very smart, intelligent, very cultured I never thought I'd meet someone like her. She was very new to me in every ways. She's the girl every guys wants to be with and she knows that but she doesn't lid anyone on. She's very straight but not rude. Everyone look up to her she's a charismatic naturally a leader people wants to be like her. She wasn't just nice to guys she also have lots of girl friends. I was like the lucky one she picked me out of many guys. She loved me so much but all of sudden she broke up w me. I was angry and sad. but then she wanted to me back few weeks after the break up. I said I wasn't ready for second chance but I was willing to be with her again in a near future but she didn't want to wait. So we ended like that. She seemed fine without me but few times she called me and begged me for take her back I was just annoyed about her behaviour she didn't stop doing that. It was a hard time and I was even getting so mad at her doing that. Then I met my current gf. At work which my gf, my ex and I are co worker. I am in a different office. My ex is my gf's supervisor my ex asked me to not date someone we both know and I agreed but my current gf came close to me and now even my ex hated we are secretly dating my ex asked me if we are dating and I said I am not. i am still lying to her that I am not but I am sure she knows I am dating her co worker. my gf told me my ex is giving hard time to my gf. I got mad in my ex. I felt bad for my gf.

you ex is crazy some point but I think you gf is even worst than your ex. I don't think you should have lied to you ex about you and your gf. and when you agreed on not dating someone you both know she probably was saying no to many guys as you mentioned that she's the girl every man wants to be with. Since your break up was opened to anyone I assumed she had many guys asking her out but didn't want any drama so she was asking you to do the same thing for her. You're the one who broke the promise not her. your gf is pretty much what every girls would hate but it's up to you either be with her or not but I think you owe an apology to your ex for sure.00|00|0
Talk to your ex and make it clear to her that it's not her business who you date or who not and make it clear to her that she need to stop giving your gf hard time. be strong dude and make it so clear to her00|00|0
my ex never gave hard time to my gf. It was all lies from my gf to making me hate my ex. And should I feel bad about dating a girl who works w my ex? I hear things from other peeps my gf isn't a great at work she never do her job well even ex cause on her own fault and never say srry to anyone. I don't think my gf is someone I thought she was. None of her co worker likes my gf. I thought it was just because everyone loves my ex.
- Show AllShow Less
so should I leave her? Should I apologise to my ex?
@Asker you should apology to your ex because of your gf behave you ex did quiet her job and did made your ex have a hard time and you need to talk with your gf give her last chance and see what will happen if you find out anything else in that time break up with her.

The lone assassin
He has robbed over 20 banks in five years, stolen nearly a million euros and killed two police officers. But no-one has a clue who he is. We report on Spain's real-life crime thriller.
His false beard and wig are his trademarks.
The suspect always wears a false beard and wig
Though he will disappear at the hint of trouble, if a clerk or a customer gives him any problems, he is not afraid to pull his gun and threaten them.
Terrorists aside, this is Spain's most wanted criminal who has eluded the authorities for the past five years.
He has robbed over 20 banks across the country and only twice had any problems with the police. So far he has got away with nearly EUR 800,000.
But in the hunt for this most elusive bank robber, the stakes rose substantially in June 2004, when he shot dead two traffic police officers in broad daylight as they tried to get him to stop his car.
*quote1*The officers, Jose Antonio Vidal, 29, and Juan Antonio Palmero, 31, had noticed something unusual about the Suzuki Vitarra he was driving and flagged him down on the N113 in Castejon in Navarra in northern Spain.
They had followed him for almost three kilometres before he slowed down and the officers started to pull out in front of his Suzuki.
But just as they drew alongside, the driver leant out of the window and opened up with a Magnum revolver, firing 23 times and killing both officers instantly.
Nineteen bullets hit their intended targets. This was not someone wildly firing in panic.
Initially, police thought it was the work of ETA terrorists because the murders took place close to the Basque Country.
Jose Antonio Vidal (left) and Juan Antonio Palmero
Careful analysis of the trajectory of the bullets, which were fired from an .45 automatic, told an altogether different story.
"None of my men can shoot like this, with such precision," said a source from an elite Guardia Civil firearms unit.
Now 40 officers are dedicated to finding the bank robber-turned-cop-killer.
Detectives believe that judging by his criminal success, this man knows how police work.
*quote2*But if that were true, he would know traffic officers can only impose a small fine and no more. Why shoot two officers and transform yourself from eccentric bank robber into the most wanted man in Spain?
An officer from the elite Central Operations Unit believes the killer may have known the officers and realised he might be unmasked at last if they stopped him.
Or perhaps he was preparing another robbery and driving a stolen car? There are only 40,000 Suzuki Vitaras in Spain, so the one he was driving was driving at the time of the shooting was probably stolen.
The way he gunned down these officers now makes Spanish police believe he may well be ex-military or a former police officer. He could also be a gun fanatic or perhaps shoots as a hobby.
Physically, the only features which police can be sure are his own are his large eye bags.
Security cameras in banks across Spain have captured his image and witnesses describe a man with sharp, blue eyes. But he could be wearing contact lenses, disguising even the real colour of his eyes.
Police do believe he is Spanish, but without any particular accent. He is about 1.75 metres tall (5ft 8in tall), has a prominent nose and broad eyebrows.
He seems rough, wears cheap clothes and might even sport a bullet-proof vest under his coat. Or perhaps is a little overweight.
One police source confided: "All these factors, added to the way he works, makes us come to one conclusion: it will be difficult, very difficult to catch him."
Officially police remain confident they will eventually catch him out, but they do not hide the fact they are hoping for a break in the hunt and their most likely sou

Donald Ulrich, 15 August 1941, Olympia, Washington, USA, d. 17 July 1974, near Morro Bay, California, USA. A child prodigy, Rich was appearing on radio at the age of five and at eight he was playing guitar and fiddle and appearing on radio with a local dance band. He studied lead guitar that won him a talent contest and a trip to Hollywood. In 1956, he was playing lead guitar for a band, that led him to make some appearances playing fiddle with Buck Owens band the Buckaroos on television shows at Tacoma, Washington. He had thoughts of becoming a music teacher and for two years, he studied music at Tacoma College and supported himself by playing in local clubs. However, in 1960, his teaching career was dropped when he became a full-time member of the Owens show. Playing fiddle, lead guitar and singing tenor vocals, he remained with Owens until his untimely death 14 years later. During those years, as the acknowledged leader of the band, he was very much the talent...

My name is Tammy Paul, I'm finally fulfilling my promise to Dr. Wakina after the unexpected miracle he performed last December by bringing back my Husband as a clean and perfect man I once to know. I called his work unexpected because I didn't know or believe a Man could have such a talent to restore a damaged home.ReplyDelete
After my Husband was restored, I waited to see if he will go back to his old ways, for more than 6 months, I have been observing him, but he never went back, he became so perfect like we never had issues in the past. I also observed if his work will bring bad luck to me or my family, instead, Dr. Wakina spell mad us stronger, wealthier and more united than ever.
I am giving back to the world the opportunity they gave me to meet my destiny changer. The reviews I read on blogs and drwakinalovetemple.webs.com changed my whole life. I have confirmed that Dr. Wakina is real and his love spell is so powerful, his spell last for eternity, he is a good man that knows his work. I promise you won't regret when you email him via: email@example.com for help.

So chic!ReplyDelete
I used to have a brief dead-end affair with a guy in my office. He's 49 years old, still married with 3 kids, but flirt a lot. When I try to resist, he flatter and made me feel good with an experience I never had before. We most time had sex in the office after drinking, but I think it's better at home with my Husband, I wish I could stop, but I couldn't. I starve my Husband and keep getting it hard from my colleague again and again.ReplyDelete
I know my husband very well, he is faithful to me and the guilt eats me away constantly, I was scared to tell him the truth just to make me feel better, but I was scared he wouldn't forgive me. I don't want to live that way anymore. I email Dr. Wakina for help, to make me feel control of my body and emotions because I was afraid my Husband will know soon what I was up to.
Gladly I was totally restore after Dr. Wakina cast a cleansing spell on me and made me to cherish only my husband, he also gave me boldness to ask my Husband for forgiveness which was successful. I am better now than I was last 28 years all because of Dr. Wakina's love spell in ordered via firstname.lastname@example.com I will be forever grateful.
I loooove the shoes! So gorgeous xReplyDelete
How I got my ex husband back,I was going crazy when my husband left me and my two kids for another woman.ReplyDelete
My name is Natasha Hayes from UK. My husband and I have been married for about 7 yrs now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone else. He started coming home late from work, he hardly care about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr Unity can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and told him my problems and he told me what to do and i did it and he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Unity Powerful and really spell caster. If you have any problem contact him and i guarantee you that he will help you. He will not disappoint you. Email him at: firstname.lastname@example.com ,or call him on his mobile number: +2348072370762.

"I have one machine out of 25 that is both properly identified and
listed as unknown. I thought that subsequent scans would straighten
this out, but the unknown one still lingers. I thought perhaps that
machine had two nic cards and indeed it has a wireless adapter as well
as a hard wired nic. However, the spiceworks view of both the unknown
and the identified machine displays the same IP address."
After this morning's scan I noticed that one of the workstations that
had been properly identified as a win2k desktop has also been added to
the unknown group. So now it appears in both locations. Strangely that
machine was turned off at the time of the scan. It is listed as offline
in both the 'Workstations' and the 'Unknown' groups.
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Does the device in Unknowns have an "authorization error"? What happens
is: we retrieve the serial number from a device as an unique identifier.
If the device has two network interfaces, we discover the same serial
number from both interfaces and consolidate the entry. Its possible,
that if we can't log into the machine through the wireless interface (a
firewall perhaps?) then we don't know that it is the same machine. I
think once we resolve it, so that we can discover through both
interfaces the duplicate copy should go away.
Hope this helps.

I read your message in a different thread about telling the database to
ignore the device, it seems to have removed it from the database
One note, after clicking in the general tab, then click on ignore it, I
did NOT get an option to ignore forever. just ignore...
Aug 14, 2006 at 3:40 UTC
For a while, we had a "Ignore for Now" and an "Ignore forever". This
seemed to confuse people so we changed it to just "Ignore".
If you liked the "Ignore for Now" path, you can ignore the device, and
then go to the network settings page and remove the device from the
ignore list. For this case, it is clunkier than before, but the general
case is much cleaner.
Aug 16, 2006 at 10:25 UTC
Thanks for your reply Tabrez.
I will ignore for now.

| Crocodilians
Fossil range: Cretaceous - Recent
84-0 Ma
Crocodilian fossil found in the Messel Pit fossil site.
| Scientific classification
Crocodilia (or Crocodylia) is an order of large reptiles that appeared about 84 million years ago in the late Cretaceous Period (Campanian stage). They are the closest living relatives of birds, as the two groups are the only known survivors of the Archosauria.[1] Members of the crocodilian stem group, the clade Crurotarsi, appeared about 220 million years ago in the Triassic Period and exhibited a wide diversity of forms during the Mesozoic Era.
Evolution and classificationEdit
Eusuchia, a modern clade which includes the crown group Crocodilia, first appeared in the Lower Cretaceous of Europe. Isisfordia duncani lived approximately 95 to 98 million years ago, during the Cenomanian epoch of the Upper Cretaceous. Isisfordia is the second oldest known eusuchian, and the earliest crocodylomorph yet found in Australia. Eusuchians underwent a mass radiation during the Late Cretaceous and the Paleogene, in which they evolved into numerous forms, such as semi-aquatic dinosaur-eating species (Deinosuchus); hooved, terrestrial carnivores (Pristichampsus), and 'hatchet'-shaped skulled forms (Baru).

This school is below the state average in key measures of college and career readiness.
(Remember: high graduation rates don't mean much if students are graduating without the coursework and test scores they need to succeed.)
Parent tip
Ask the schools what it's doing to improve access to advanced classes and help prepare students for college entrance tests.
Students at this school are making far more academic progress given where they were last year, compared to similar students in the state.
High student progress (also known as student growth) means different things, depending on the school's test scores.
High progress with low test scores means... that students are starting at a low point but the school is doing a great job at supporting their academic growth compared to most other schools.
High progress with high test scores means students have strong academic skills and the school is a doing an excellent job at supporting academic growth compared to most other schools.
Ask the school how it interprets this rating and what you can do to support the school's success.

I met a guy online and we went on one date. It was fun but a little weird because I was nervous the entire time and he just talked really quickly and I don't know if thats a normal thing for him. He gave me some video games to return at an unspecified later date: I think this is promising? Also he wants to hang out with me again this weekend. In a text message he asked me what my intentions were- like if we were just friends or if I was interested in potentially dating him in time. Then he goes on to say he talking to several other people. I say I like him, and would potentially be interested with more. He replies back he at least wants us to be friends. So I reply back that we can be just friends, and then he asks me what changed my mind? Then I replied back yeah I'm still interested in potentially dating, and he goes on to say he is going to let time decide. So does he want to just be friends, date me, or what? Should I be chatting/dating other people too, because I'm not at the moment? I like that he is being up front with me in a way but at the same time I'm confused about the situation.
Does he like me? Should I be dating other people?

Well, there's one I've never heard. I guy giving you video games on a first date to return to him at a later time.
And, i wouldn't call that being upfront, i'd call that being vague. If you like him give him a shot, but don't sit around waiting on him, either he moves or you check out. And return his video games.00|00|0
Keep your options open. You both didn't set an arrangement on being exclusive so test out the waters with other people and see if this goes anywhere beyond friendship.00|00|0

High Modulus (Hamble, U.K.) announced in January that it is working with Christensen Shipyards (Vancouver, Wash.) on the structural engineering design of what is expected to be the largest all-composite motoryacht ever built. The 186-ft/57m vessel will be a vacuum-infused production motoryacht and reportedly will be the first composite motoryacht to break the 500-ton gross weight threshold.
Christensen has been building fiberglass yachts for 20 years, producing craft ranging from 157 ft to 164 ft (47m to 50m) long. The new 186-footer will be part of the Custom 186 series; owners will be able customize the design of the superstructure, window shapes, hull colors and interior selections.
The boats will be produced at Christensen's new 55-acre purpose-built facility on a lakefront in Tennessee. High Modulus is part of an international team assembled to develop the yacht. It will develop all composite structural specifications and liaise with Flag and Class officers as well as noise and vibration consultants, to deliver a yacht that meets noise and class requirements. Tooling will start in early 2008, and the first boat, for current Christensen yacht owner John Rosatti, is due to launch in 2011.

Each two-tone favor box features a cream-colored cover and a chocolate brown box bottom. A laser-cut maple leaf is etched into one side of the cover; slip the cover over the bottom piece to create a vibrant peek-a-boo effect. A chocolate brown satin bow completes the look.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/9/2013 (1428 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Many Winnipeg tourists head down to South Dakota to marvel at Mount Rushmore. The faces of four of the most beloved American presidents carved into the side of a mountain is quite a sight to see.
As a child, I recall the messages of freedom and independence that I read about in Dennis the Menace comic books and saw on the Wonderful World of Walt Disney TV shows that drove me to Mount Rushmore, and I wasn't disappointed. There is a certain highway you take where the glaring white visages of those four highly revered leaders blasts into view and it is breathtaking, just as it is from the viewing platform set up in front of this incredible monument.
But if you are seeing the same thing through the eyes of a Native American, you get quite a different perspective.
Mount Rushmore sits in the centre of the Black Hills -- a sacred site to the Sioux nation which was ceded to them by the Treaty of Laramie in 1868, never to be trod upon by the white man.
Until they found gold in them thar hills, that is.
Imagine gazing upon the sacred ground of your ancestors knowing it was stolen to make room for saloons and dance halls and gambling joints the gold rush created in towns such as Deadwood, S.D. Then imagine staring at the images of four of the most dedicated desecrators of your nation's culture and history.
Each of those four great American presidents whose image is carved into the sacred Black Hills has cut through the human rights of Native Americans like a knife.
George Washington? He ordered farms owned by Indians along the Mohawk River to be burned to the ground and gave bounties to any settler who could prove they killed an Indian by bringing in their "redskin."
Thomas Jefferson did the same and is partly famous for saying "Hunt them down life a wolf" to encourage Indian hunters.
Teddy Roosevelt is praised as a conservationist for setting 52 million acres of land aside for the creation of national parks. Where did the land come from? It was taken away from Indian reservations.
And Abraham Lincoln? Here is perhaps the cruelest cut of all.
Lincoln is widely recognized as the greatest American president of all time for freeing the slaves. But on the very day he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln signed an order for the biggest mass execution in American history; the hanging of 38 Dakota men in Mankato, Minn.
The history is unclear except for one fact; the death of the 38 Dakota men. Some say a cow wandered on to recognized Indian territory and some starving Indians butchered it to provide food for their families. A local rancher demanded justice, despite the fact the cow had no brand so 500 Indians gathered up 40 of their skinny cattle to offer to the rancher.
He refused that offer. He wanted justice.
So 500 Dakota pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing that cow and 500 Dakota were indicted.
To show "mercy," Lincoln reduced the number of men who were declared guilty to 38.
And 38 Dakota men were lined up in a row and hung on the gallows.
Others, who refer to this tragic event as the "Incident at Ulm," claim two Dakota warriors, who had been embarrassed by being shooed away with a broom by a farmer's wife after stealing some eggs and then took revenge by killing the farmer, his wife and the local postmaster, caused the "incident."
The indisputable fact is 38 Dakota men were sentenced to death on the same day Lincoln signed another piece of paper that freed the slaves. Of note locally, Lincoln was also was creating a Sioux presence here in Manitoba as Dakota fleeing the persecution ended up in the southwest part of this province.
I doubt many of us think of all this when we visit Mount Rushmore. The sculpture is magnificent, its sheer size, awesome.
But to a descendent of America's First Nations, who negotiated sacred treaties so the Black Hills would always remain a place of worship and prayer, it is not only sacrilegious to see this land overrun by gold miners and good-timers who desecrated all that your nation stands for, it can only be heartbreaking to see the images of your oppressors scarring the side of your sacred hills.
Mount Rushmore pays tribute to these men who stood for freedom, but only for some it seems.
It all depends on how you look at it.

ConAgra Foods announced a nationwide recall in February after federal health officials linked its peanut butter to a salmonella infection that sickened at least 625 people in 47 states, including West Virginia.
David Palfenier, president of ConAgra's grocery division, said the level of consumer and retailer demand for Peter Pan makes him optimistic the company will be able to restore annual sales to pre-recall levels of about $150 million sooner than expected. The first shipments go out next week.
"We're going to be hitting them from all sides," Palfenier said.
Everyone who contacted ConAgra during the recall, including those who became ill after eating Peter Pan, will receive coupons for a free jar of the peanut butter, Palfenier said.
"We are obviously deeply concerned for those consumers who were affected by Peter Pan and (we) are taking, I'd say, extraordinary efforts to make that right," Palfenier said.
The company has to find ways to reassure customers that Peter Pan is safe without reminding them why the brand hasn't been available since February, said DePaul University marketing professor Joe Marconi, author of "Crisis Marketing: When Bad Things Happen to Good Companies."
"The best strategy to take would be to focus on their plans for the future," Marconi said.
Back-to-school season is a good time to be marketing peanut butter, he said.
Government investigators linked the outbreak to ConAgra's Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter produced at a Georgia plant. The plant was remodeled to provide greater separation between raw peanuts and the finished product.
The company also promised to develop a new testing plan for the plant to ensure that its peanut butter is safe and that the company would detect any future contamination.
ConAgra faces several lawsuits filed by people who say they became ill after eating Peter Pan.
The company says the top 30 Peter Pan grocery retailers have pledged to resume selling it.
Bag 'N Save grocery stores will stock Peter Pan again once it is available, said Roger Grohmann, director of procurement for the Omaha-based chain.
Grohmann said he doesn't have any qualms about putting Peter Pan back on the shelves because ConAgra has assured him the problems that led to the salmonella contamination have been fixed.
But ConAgra must convince consumers the product is safe.
"It's ConAgra's responsibility to earn back its share of the business," Grohmann said.
Palfenier said the company will begin shipping peanut butter to retailers on Monday. When the product is available in stores nationwide will depend on the speed of each retailer's distribution system, he said.
ConAgra fell 10 cents to $26.35 midday Wednesday.

If the girl you're dating says she doesn't want anything seirous and that she doesn't feel nervous around you.
I don't know if I gave him the wrong idea because he stopped talking me afterwards..
Most Helpful Guy
I would be AWESTRUCK if a girl I was dating said she didn't want anything serious, and meant it. If we're already to dating I'd assume it meant that she wanted something serious, because it's the opposite of what she said. I don't know how or why, but that's usually correct. Probably has something to do with all the head games people have been playing on each other.
If we weren't dating yet, I'd take it at face value and move on.
Oh, and the reason he left is the same reason I'd leave. He wants something you don't. It's not a fit.00|00|0
We had been dating over the summer but my thoughts were that it was just a summer thing and he wanted to pursue it even though I was moving to another city. I don't know I am just confused because I thought after dating him for a little while he would at least have the decency to talk to me but he pretty much just stopped answering my texts.

Well no offense but if you really liked him why did you say you don't want anything serious?20|20|0

Importance of the NCp7-like domain in the recognition of pre-let-7g by the pluripotency factor Lin28

The pluripotency factor Lin28 is a highly conserved protein comprising a unique combination of RNA-binding motifs, an N-terminal cold-shock domain and a C-terminal region containing two retroviral-type CCHC zinc-binding domains. An important function of Lin28 is to inhibit the biogenesis of the let-7 family of microRNAs through a direct interaction with let-7 precursors. Here, we systematically characterize the determinants of the interaction between Lin28 and pre-let-7g by investigating the effect of protein and RNA mutations on in vitro binding. We determine that Lin28 binds with high affinity to the extended loop of pre-let-7g and that its C-terminal domain contributes predominantly to the affinity of this interaction. We uncover remarkable similarities between this C-terminal domain and the NCp7 protein of HIV-1, not only in terms of primary structure but also in their modes of RNA binding. This NCp7-like domain of Lin28 recognizes a G-rich bulge within pre-let-7g, which is adjacent to one of the Dicer cleavage sites. We hypothesize that the NCp7-like domain initiates RNA binding and partially unfolds the RNA. This partial unfolding would then enable multiple copies of Lin28 to bind the extended loop of pre-let-7g and protect the RNA from cleavage by the pre-microRNA processing enzyme Dicer.

You can setup Ezy Invoice 13 and open your database over the Internet from home or while travelling. You can have multiple users opening the database concurrently over the Internet. Ezy Invoice is highly optimized to give you very fast performance even while you are opening your database over the Internet in another location
System Requirements
1. You will need to use Ezy Invoice 13 Client/Server (C/S) version. You need one license for each user needing to work on Ezy Invoice.
2. You need to have a Windows Computer that is accessible from the Internet. This computer will be set up as your database server. You can set this up in 2 ways :
2a. Subscribe to a Windows VPS (Virtual Private Server) from a service provider. One such service Provider is Infinitely Virtual. This is the easiest way to set this up. At the time of signing up, request for them to open ports 12005 and 12006. These are the ports used by the database server.
2b. If you want to host the server in your own premisses, you must have a Windows server or computer with a fixed public facing IP address. You will need to check with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) for this. Some ISP's will provide this free as part of your package, others may provide you with a fixed IP address for a small monthly fee. Once you have a fixed IP address, you must configure your router for "port forwarding". Ports 12005 and 12006 must be forwarded to your database server computer. You will also need to open ports 12005 and 12006 on your router firewall. If you are not sure how to do this, best to engage an IT tech to set this up or subscribe to a VPS as in #2a above.
Installation Procedure
The installation of Ezy Invoice for access over the Internet is the same as if you were setting up the C/S version in your own office. The only difference is you will setup your database server on your public facing Windows Server or your Virtual Private Server (VPS). Users from the Internet will connect to your database server through your public IP address rather than your internal IP address. You can see step by step instructions here
Transferring Your Database
If your database is currently on your local computer, you simply need to zip it up, copy and paste it to your VPS or Cloud Server. Unzip it on your cloud server and set it up on your database server
Let Us Install It For You
We can also install it or transfer your database from your local PC to your VPS remotely for a small fee. You will need to have a Virtual Private Server ready before we can start. If you don't have one yet, we recommend :
1. Infinitely Virtual – Recommend for basic or non technical users. Their Silver Plan for 1 user is good enough for up to 5 Ezy Invoice users working concurrently. At the time you sign up, you need to request that they open ports 12005 and 12006 on your VPS.
2. Amazon EC2 .

DD is overweight(94 Posts)
Can anyone help? 16 year old DD is gorgeous - really beautiful face - but she is overweight.
She was a normal-sized child and in the early part of her adolescence fine - normal BMI, although she's always edged towards the higher end of 'normal' but she's slammed on weight this year (GCSEs) and it's making her unhappy. My mum used to go on at me about my weight so I deliberately haven't mentioned it to DD, although I have supported her in other ways like signing her up for a posh gym.
We don't have cakes or biscuits or crisps in the house but I know she eats copious amounts when she's out with her friends, and goes to places like Macdonalds and KFC which all teenagers do. Yesterday for instance she had:
banana and grapes at breakfast (she doesn't really like breakfast so we've compromised on fruit) cup of tea with s-skimmed milk and one candrel tablet.
She went shopping and to the cinema with her mates in the afternoon and she had a pizza at Pizza Hut for lunch and a packet of crisps on the way back.
Then she had macaroni cheese and a yoghurt for tea. Cup of tea and apple before bed.
She is such a lovely, lovely girl - so cheerful and polite but she's a reader and doesn't enjoy exercise at all, never has. She will come for walks with me but that's it: doesn't like the gym, swimming or dancing. I don't want to go on at her but at the same time she is moving from a chubby but pretty girl to a girl who is properly 'fat' if you see what I mean and I am worried that it will get just too difficult to do anything about it if I leave it any longer.
Please help! I don't know what to do for the best!
OK, your DD is older than my girl, but idle-but-hardworking DD reluctantly accepted that actually, you'd exercise a dog, so you should probably treat yourself at least as well as a beloved pet.
When nagging, we tend to go down the line of 'better get some exercise for the sake of muscles/stamina/better sleep/bone strength', all of which is true.
She is Ok with:
pedometer (as above) -- do your 'prescribed' 10000 steps a day
swimming (though do need to avoid the cafe afterwards)
schlepping round town
I think a lot of people don't particularly enjoy the gym/classes etc but do it because they can then wear that size 12 dress instead of the sixe 16 one.
Low carb is just that.... Low, not 'no'
And it sounds like she is addicted to sugar.... Refined carbs, pizza,toast,cereal..... All high sugar . It doesn't have to be sweets/choc/cake to be a sugar addiction
Cross posts about the dog walking!
Tiptap - have you read my posts? That's exactly what I've been saying about DD. She WILL do it but only if it helps her lose weight. She won't do it because we just happen to stumble on something she enjoys - she won't, believe me, I have been her mother for 16 years!
How about doing something together like signing up for a 5k race later on in the summer and doing the training together? The challenge of that may get her going? It's a good short term achievable gol to aim for. The hope would be that she gets fit, loses weight and starts to enjoy it that she carries on.
I hated exercise until my late 20s and suddenly started running and swimming and now love it. I go a bit mad now if I don't get regular exercise. Emphasise the health benefits of exercise to her rather than just the weight loss benefits.
Do her friends do any exercise? Is there anything with them that she can join in with?
I agree about now putting her on a diet as such but instead looking at things like portion control and teaching her about hidden calories. Again, emphasise the health benefits of a healthy diet that her skin will be better etc.
Good luck.
How about exercise that she doesn't get to do at school? She might fin something she loves and never knew?
How about boxing/boxercise?
Roller derby
See If there's a run challenge in your are (it's basically orienteering but with a quiz attached to it about the points you go to. It could be something you do together)
Maybe the classes at her gym?
Ring ur council, they'll have a sport development team and they'll e able to tell you what's going on that's a bit different
OP yes I totally get them honest, I was agreeing with you Maybe she needs to consider how much she wants to be able to wear those size 10 clothes she spoke about.
The thing about exercise as well is the more you do it you sort of get addicted to it - endorphins or something!
If she wants help I would go to the gym with her 2x a week plus boxercise for say a month. Will be really hard to keep that up BUT - she might see the huge benefits of it and get hooked.
Agree with others who have pointed out the high carb & sugar content of her diet.
Romann - that recommendation sounds great. Sugar & overly refined/processed food is the reason why obesity is such a major problem nowadays.
Exercise just isn't going to cut it here OP, especially with her reluctance to do it. Apart from being best for weight loss and curing addiction to sugar, low carb diets also dramatically reduce your appetite after about a week or so.
Cauliflower or sweet potato mash along with protein and green veg makes meals feel much more "normal". I've even come across a "pizza" recipe where the base is made of equal quantities of grated cauliflower and mozzarela (which my kids adore) so with a bit of research you can get very creative!
Firstly - you sound like a fantastic mum. You are being sensitive but also worrying about her health. My daughter is also a junk food monster and although not overweight, she is lacking in energy and makes herself unhappy with all the stuff she eats. It is hard - there seems to be a teenage 'thing' that they eat like this - high in fats and processed foods which give a great 'high' but don't help them at all.
So I understand fully but I think getting her involved in cooking, promoting lots of active stuff like walking etc is the only thing you can do. I ask my daughter to choose a fruit she has never tried and I do what I did when she was very small and I sneak in veg! Dance videos are good and fun.
It's never easy is it - but I wish you two luck. Whatever happens, she has a lovely mum.
This isn't really an AIBU so we've moved it to Children's Health now. best of luck to the OP and her DD.
A bit of honesty won't harm her, saving her feelings today will only leave her with much more weight to lose ten years from now and a lot of damage to her self esteem and health. Tell her she's gained excessive weight and needs to cut out the junk food before it's too late. She needs to find activities that don't revolve around eating crap and get off her arse and start moving otherwise she will get very fat. Be blunt.
There's this fear that if you mention weight gain your going to magically push them into anorexia, that's bollox, many people allow their kids to get obese rather than educating them about basic nutrition and exercise but it's those who are too ignorant to know how to be healthily slender that get eating disorders, the fat kids have eating disorders too, that's why they're fat.
Sounds incredibly tricky.
I don't know what you do now but I would start by getting rid of all treaty things in the home, and cooking a simple, homemade healthy meal for the evening for her.
Is there a sport that you can both do together? I'm thinking yoga on a weekday evening and then a long family walk on the weekend?
How about signing up to learn a sport together? Something like skiing or rock climbing?
Lots of conversations about healthy eating- you can't control what she eats outside of the home any more, but talking about eating healthily and making good choices will help her to do this when she's by herself.
You sound like you're approaching it sensitively, so well done.
Junk food has SUCH a lot to answer for. I'm sure it's the reason for the increased levels of obesity.
Coffee shop 'fancy' coffees and a muffin can have several hundred calories in them eg and won't leave you feeling full.
If she feels she's made the discovery for herself, eg by reading the book recommended perhaps she'd avoid them more.
Low-carbing and/or eating protein at every meal will help you to feel full, but most people don't eat crisps and chocolate because they're hungry. They eat them because they're bored, or tempted by adverts.
I don't really know what the answer for her is. Providing really healthy, nutritious meals and not having breakfast cereal in the house should help a bit, as the more fruit and salady things you eat, the less easily tempted you are by things like crisps and chocolate. This is a good time of year for delicious berries and pineapples. Soon peaches, nectarines and melons will be in season.
If she could acquire a taste for fruit/herbal teas that might help.
I sympathise - (my DD, who's the same age is a bit chubby - which concerns me too) - very difficult and the best method of losing weight varies from person to person.
Would it be practical to 'kick-start' things by having a walking holiday or something like that? If she sees some weight coming off, she's likely to be motivated to continue.
I'm afraid I totally disagree zora. That could do enormous damage, as any child psychologist will tell you. I was at a psychologist's office the other day (my daughter has some anxiety/depression) issues) and I was talking to a psychologist who was removing all the awful Heat-style magazines that focus obsessively on women's bodies.
There are ways and means of educating a child about healthy eating. Telling them they are fat in such a blunt way is not going to helpful and shows no sensitivity whatsoever. And yes, it can lead to eating problems. If the person who cares for you, thinks you are fat, or ugly, or unpleasant - how do you think that will work on their psyche?
I talk about healthy eating with my daughter but I would never - have never - told her she is overweight. or any negative comment about her body.
Re exercise -- she doesn't need to do anything special, just walk her 10,000 steps a day. Perhaps get her a pedometer?
Research has recently found that sweet fizzy drinks are the absolute worst thing you can put in your body re weight gain, and artificial sweeteners make you feel hungrier than sugar so no help. Even if it's only a first step, she should be giving up softdrinks NOW.
I would start looking at small changes she could make that don't feel like a 'diet' in fact I would stop 'dieting' all together, most diets fail for a reason. They are often unsustainable and make you feel deprived, plus you are more likely to treat yourself for 'being good'. If your dd wants to lose weight and keep it off, then she's going to need to make changes that she can stick to for life and who would want to be on a diet forever?
Definitely cut the fizzy drinks and sweeteners out, they are the work of the devil according to my very qualified, very successful weightloss coach. They do make you hungrier. Change to water and/or herbal teas. Lots of water. Get her to carry a bottle of water everywhere. Even if that is the only change she makes it will make a huge difference.
I wouldn't do full on low carb, it's soul destroying, but I would balance carbs a bit more, so for example if she has a carb-high lunch, have no carbs at dinner (I like chicken and veg stir fries minus the noodles on these days or roasted root veg eg. parsnips, sweet potato, carrots, and philly stuffed chicken fillet wrapped in bacon)
When her friends all go to maccyds or KFC she is unlikely to want to miss out but would she make changes there, such as buying a mini fillet burger and small fries instead of a full meal and have water instead of soda? And then have a healthy, light dinner on those days to balance out the fat, carbs, cals for the day.
Limit processed foods to once a week. Eat fresh, real food. Nothing low fat or low sugar, they're often packed with aspartame and other nasties that actually help cause obesity rather than cure it.
I hate breakfast too but do find it helps. Would she be able to stomach a smoothie or meal replacement shake? I can manage those.
And yy to the walking/pedometer. Exercise alone will not help, but it will boost weightloss along with a healthy, clean diet.
Sugar coating things and not being honest isn't going to do her any good in the long run, from what the op has said she knows she is overweight, she isn't happy so of course her mum needs to sit down and talk to her about it and help her take control.

I agree with others, your dd seems to have two problems:
1. Unhealthy, high fat, high carb food & drinks
2. Too little exercise
She is old enough to understand this and to understand the consequences.
You could help by only serving healthy food at home, including lots of fresh veg and fruit and put a strict limit on processed food.
I would sitdown with her and have an open and honest discussion about her concerns and your concerns.
I would be quite annoyed if dd was to ask for a gym membership and then only use it sporadically. Maybe she needs a bit of tough love ...
Lots of people rather sit in front of the TV rather than exercise. That is why there are so many fat people. Ultimately it is a matter of priorities and self-discipline.
Talk about what a better diet would look like, your dd's is too carb /sugar and processed food heavy.
You don't have to shield children from the idea of healthy eating.
Or from promoting a healthier view of exercise. What about something like tennis? More fun than the gym as a teen.
Would she use one of the phone app calories counters ? (more inline with a teenage thing, being on a phone?)
I use my fitness pal and find it easy to follow ad keep to.
Zora, your post assumes that the reason the OP's DD is overweight is a matter of ignorance - she hasn't realised that she is overweight, and/or she doesn't know what to do to solve the problem - so it is a simple matter of educating her.
Unfortunately the psychology of weight loss is a lot more complicated than that. I'm sure you know lots of people who know they are fat and try really hard to lose weight but struggle to succeed.
I'm not saying the OP should do nothing - not at all. A sensitive discussion acknowledging the issue and trying to come up with a plan of action together is one thing. Your suggestion of 'being blunt' is the bit I have a problem with.
OP, your DD sounds like a sensible girl and is old enough to decide for herself. Why not discuss the different suggestions with her and see what she thinks?
OP, I just wanted to echo what others have said about this being a really tricky issue, and about it sounding like you're doing a great, thoughtful, caring job in trying to deal with it. Your DD sounds fab.
Zora - I just can't let this pass without comment: "it's those who are too ignorant to know how to be healthily slender that get eating disorders"
It just doesn't fit with scientific understanding or clinical experience. Eating disorders are, as a rule, very much not about ignorance and frequently occur in very knowledgeable and intelligent people with very knowledgeable, intelligent parents.
Best of luck, OP plus DD. I think others have said some wise things about carbs, etc.
Above all, for what it's worth, I'd say try not to let this worry you for too much time each day. Your DD sounds great, with so much going for her, and it sounds like she has a great mum, too.
