Detailed Description:
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) have elevated risk for development of CTEPH. It is not known, whether the location of pulmonary embolism (central vs. peripheral) nor fibrinolysis have an impact of CTEPH incidence. This study has been performed to assess the CTEPH incidence in different populations: in patients with central vs. peripheral PE and in patients with or without fibrinolysis therapy for PE.

A Career as an Elementary School Teacher
Bridget Hoban
Career Overview
Elementary school teachers work in public and private schools. They instruct children in grades one through six. Elementary children study subjects such as writing, reading, counting, and as they get older, subjects like history, math, or English. They also learn many social skills. Teachers use audio-visual aids, computers, and classroom handouts to help children learn. Sometimes they show films or videos or take children on field trips. They may teach students one-on-one or in groups. They organize the desks, bulletin boards, and computer stations to assist learning. Some elementary school teachers teach subjects such as art, music, physical education, etc. Teachers also attend in-service trainings to update their skills.
Career Skills and Interests
Communication: Express ideas clearly when speaking or writing. Read and understand written information. Listen to others, understand, and ask questions.
Reason and Problem Solve: Notice when something is wrong. Understand new information or materials by studying and working with them. Develop rules or follow guidelines for arranging items. Use math and science.

Informational Interview
My informational interview with Mrs. Sweet gave me a much better understanding of why a teacher truly likes to teach. Not all people go to college and leave with the job they went for. Mrs. Sweet was a business and finance woman who was a sub one day for an elementary class. Never thinking she'd be a teacher, she continued her education at MSU for her teaching degree. Subbing made her realize how much she enjoyed teaching and how good she was at it. As of today she has 2/3 of her masters degree completed. An elementary school teacher would be a great job for anyone who wants a set schedule, is a socializer, communicates well, and loves children.
To reach my goals, I definitely would like to job shadow a variety of jobs. Tutoring gave me a better understanding of elementary teaching so I would love to find internships and other hands on work to get familiar with other career fields.

A BBC story on this on their website at bbc.co.uk is interesting. It draws parallels between Savile, Jerry Sandusky, Gary Glitter and self-confessed abuser Eric Gill, who sculpted a work that adorns BBC Broadcasting House. Even Savile's own family has removed his gravestone.
On the one hand, people understandably express outrage over pedophilia and abusive activities. But on the other hand, they inexplicably continue to elect and support politicians who cater to left-wing views on sexuality which creates monsters like Jimmy Savile. I strongly suspect there's a double standard among some of those people.
Even in the Republican Party, we have groups like the Log Cabin Republicans, and people like Newt Gingrich who say we have to accept the inevitability of same sex 'marriage'. Meanwhile, a 'silent majority' seethes.
Still don't think social conservatism is important?
You should watch this video if you haven't seen it already...

What is the best way to drill holes into wall tiles?
Lisa from Thessaloniki, Greece
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
Use a drill bit made specifically for drilling into tiles, anything else and it will be a disaster!
http://www.doit lingintotilewall
This site is helpful, my husband has many times used the masking tape tip mentioned in the article.
Don't forget to wear eye protection!
I presume you are talking about ceramic wall tiles. If so, then the best way to drill holes in the ceramic, is to drill away the plaster in the back of the ceramic, using a cement bit, and then gently using a small drill, break through the thin glass front of the ceramic.
I use a grinder to grind away the plaster in the back of the tile, before using a small drill to cut through the front. Cutting ceramic is similar to cutting glass, and it is not easy. If you are an amateur, don't expect to succeed on the first try.
I use the corner of a sharp chisel and gently tap the surface of the ceramic tile where i want to drill it with a hammer. This breaks away the glass like surface, now it can be easily drilled with a masonry drill bit. Take youre time, easy to crack the tile. hope this helps.

DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks planned to be without injured Dirk Nowitzki for Wednesday night's pivotal game against Golden State, but he made a surprising return to the starting lineup.
The Mavs weren't counting on Nowitzki returning to the team even after the reigning MVP went through the morning shootaround.
But he did return and the Mavs benefited. He hit only 6-of-15 shots and had 18 points in 27 minutes, but Dallas routed Golden State 111-86.
Nowitzki wanted to get back during the playoff race, but is still having problems with his left ankle when he tries to stop hard or make quick moves.
"The work today wasn't great," Nowitzki said after the shootaround. "I'm still sore in a couple of movements."
The Mavs began to have hope Nowitzki would play Wednesday when the team upgraded his status to day-to-day following his 45-minute workout Tuesday.
"I've got to be pain-free. If I can't move out there and cut and try to defend and move my feet, it really doesn't make any sense to try to get out there," Nowitzki said. "Just hobbling around wouldn't help anybody. I would rather have somebody out there that can go and give 100 percent."
Nowitzki sprained his left ankle and knee March 23. He said his knee is fine.
Coach Avery Johnson said the Mavericks planned to be without Nowitzki against the Warriors.
"We know 70 or 80 percent of Dirk is still pretty good, but we don't want to put him out there if he's in any danger," Johnson said. "Sometimes it's better to have a little bit lesser talented guy that's 100 percent than having a superstar that just can't move at all."
The Mavs'Jason Terry indicated after the shootaround that he expects Dirk to play.
"Everyone is very optimistic," Terry said. "You get the MVP out there, it's all smiles."
Whatever happens, Nowitzki does not expect to be anywhere close to 100 percent. "If I wait until I'm 100 percent, the regular season will be over," he said. "If I can run without limping and take off on [my left] foot, I can go."
Dallas will definitely be without Jerry Stackhouse, who has a groin injury. Johnson said Stackhouse had an MRI and would be out at least a week.
The Mavericks (46-28) went into Wednesday night's game in seventh place in the Western Conference, a half-game ahead of Denver (46-29) and a game ahead of Golden State (45-29). The top eight teams make the playoffs. Dallas and Golden State each have seven games left after Wednesday.
With the regular season winding down, Nowitzki is eager to play.
"I try to come back usually around 85 to 90 [percent] and I know I can be confident in my movement," Nowitzki said. "I don't think I'm quite at 85, but given the situation we're in, basically tied with three teams for the playoffs, I might have to come back a little earlier."
The Mavericks play at the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday and at Phoenix on Sunday.
Nowitzki didn't know when he will return, but knows he will have to play through some pain and soreness eventually.
"I think if I wait until I'm 100 percent, I think the regular season will be over," he said. "But like I said, I don't want to play where it really slows me down."

We have all at one time or another been captivated by sports images. It may be Kirk Gibson's World Series Homerun, and the image of him running the bases, overcoming the pain he was in or an image of high flying Michael Jordan slam dunking a basketball with his tongue out. We have all been captured in the moment of human drama. We all like a good action photo and, in particular, if your kids play sports, you want to remember them in their toils.
Quality sports shots are somewhat difficult to come by. Most people have limited access to events to photograph them. The further away you are from the event, the harder it becomes to capture the event in a pleasing manner. Sports are an event where crowd control is important, not only for the crowd's safety, but for the players also. There is nothing more frightening than to be on the sidelines of a football game, focused on a play in the field, when out of the blue a 250 pound .
Location, Location, Location!
You can only photograph things you can see. The closer you are to someone, the better you can see them. Sports are no different. You have to get as close to what you are shooting as you can. Typically, for a photographer with a press pass, you can get to the sidelines or other similar locations. You generally will not be permitted on the playing field. Depending on the sport, you most likely will be limited to designated locations. For instance, at most Division I football games, the media cannot shoot between the two 35 yard markers. For most people, the situation is even worse. You probably don't have press access and are stuck in the stands for your shots. Get as close a possible. Even if you make it to the sidelines, you will be jostling for space with many other photographers, both still and video who have worked hard to get there and have the same job to do that you have.
You also have to be familiar with the sport to be able to capture the moment. This means knowing where to position yourself for the best action. This is critical because of angular momentum that will be discussed in the section on freezing action. Not only does it matter with the subject, but the background. Look at what is going to be behind your subject. While we will try to minimize the impact that a background has, it will still be unavoidable. So you need to position your self where the background is the most pleasing.
The Decisive Moment
Sports and Action photography is all about timing. Its about reacting. Its about being in the right place at the right time and its about execute. These are all qualities of the athlete and those of the photographer as well. Each sport has predictable and unpredictable moments. Under "Knowing your Sport", you will learn about these moments for individual sports. For instance, in basketball, you will have opportunities to photograph layups, jump shots, free throws, etc. Understanding the timing of these predictable actions allows you to capture the peak moment, when the action is most dramatic.
By knowing these moments you can anticipate the action. This helps in two ways, one it helps you with focus which will be discussed in a later segment, and secondly it helps you snap the shutter at the right time. The saying goes "If you see the action you missed it." This basically means if you wait for the soccer player to head the ball then press the shutter release, the ball most likely will be sailing out of the frame. You have to push the button before the action so that the mirror has time to flip out of the way and the shutter open and close. There is a delay between the image hitting your optical nerve and the shutter closing. You have to, through experience, learn what that time is and adjust for it.
Required Equipment
Most sports are shot on 35mm cameras because of their portability. While some photographers have captured great sports moments with other format cameras, we will concentrate our efforts on the 35mm arena which is the most commonly used gear.
"Its not the equipment but the photographer who makes the picture" is generally a true statement. However with sports and action photography, having the wrong equipment means not getting the shots you want or need. This relates back to the section on location. The further away, the longer the lens is needed to capture the same image in the frame. Different sports require different lens lengths. For instance, basketball is generally shot from the baseline or sideline near the baseline. You generally can get good results with an 85mm lens in this situation. However, by the time the players are at mid court, you need a 135mm to capture them. If they are playing under the far goal, a 200-300mm lens is needed to fill the frame well, yet for shooting a soccer game, a 300-400mm lens is needed for just about anything useful.
Generally, for a 35mm camera, each 100mm in lens focal length gets you about 10 yards (9 meters) in coverage. This coverage means that on a vertical format photo, a normal human will fill the frame fairly well. Thus, if you are shooting American Football from the 30 yard line with a 300mm lens, you will be able to get tight shots in an arc from the goal line to mid-field to the other 40 yard marker. As players get closer, your lens may be too long. Many photographers will carry two bodies with two different length lenses for this reason.
Lens speed is also a critical factor. The faster the lens, the faster the shutter speed you can use, which as the lens grows longer, this becomes even more important. This will be covered in the freezing action section in more depth. If you look at the sidelines of any Division 1 college football game or an NFL football game, you will see people with really big lenses. These range from 300mm to 600mm or longer and even then, they may have a 1.4X converter or 2X converter on. You need fast shutter speeds to freeze action with long lenses. Every F Stop you give up requires a faster film or less freezing potential.

Market:- Market is a place where buyers and sellers meets and goods and services sales and buys producers.
Marketing:- It is a total system of business activities design to plan promote and distribute wantsatisfying goods and services to target market.
Marketing management:- It can be define as a art and science of choosing target volume and getting keeping andgrowing customer to creating delivering and communicating superior customer value.
1) Science and art
2) Choosing target market
3) Getting, keeping, growing customer (4ps)
1) Marketing Management is both a Science as well as an Art:-
Marketing Management is both a science as well as an art. The science of marketingmanagement provides certain general principles which can guide the managers in their professional effort. The Art of Marketing management consists in tackling every situation in aneffective manner. As a Matter of fact, science should not be over-emphasized nor should art bediscounted the science and the art of marketing management go together and are both mutuallyinterdependent and complimentary. Marketing Management is thus a science as well as an art. Itcan be said that-"the art of Marketing management.
2) Choosing target Market:- A marketer can rarely satisfy everyone in a market. Not everyone likes the same softDrink, automobile, college, and movie. Therefore, marketers start with market segmentation.They identify and profile distinct groups of buyers who might prefer or require Varying productsand marketing mixes. Market segments can be identified by examining Demographic, psychographic, and behavioral differences among buyers. The firm then decides which segments present the greatest opportunity—those needs the firm can meet in a superior fashion.
3) Marketing Mix
Marketers use numerous tools to elicit the desired responses from their target markets.These tools constitute a marketing mix Marketing mix is the set of marketing tools that the firmuses to pursue its marketing objectives in the target market. As shown in Figure 1-3, McCarthyclassified these tools into four broad groups that he called the four Ps of marketing: product, price, place, and promotion.Figure 1-3 The Four P Components of the Marketing Mix
Nature & Importance of Marketing Management
It would be difficult to imagine the world without marketing. But it may be equallydifficult to appreciate the importance effective marketing plays most aspect of our lives. We takefor granted the media that are largely supported by advertising. The vast assortment of goodsdistributed through stores close to your homes, and the ease with which we can make purchases.Lets consider for a moment how marketing plays a major role in the global economy , in theAmerican socioeconomic system in any individual organization and in your life.
1) Globally:- Profit and growth objectives are most likely to be achieved through a combination of domesticand international marketing rather then solely from domestic marketing.Until the late 1970s American firms had a large and secure domestic market. The onlysignificant foreign competition was in selected industries, Such as agriculture, or for relativelynarrow markets, such as luxury automobiles. But this change domestically through the 1980s asmore foreign firms developed attractive products, honed their marketing expertise, and thensuccessfully entered the US market. Imported products in some industries, such as officeequipment, autos, apparel, watches and consumer electronics, have been very successful. As aresult in recent years the U.S. has been importing more then its exports, creating large annualtrade deficits.
2) Domestically:- Aggressive, effective marketing practices have been largely responsible for the highstandard of living in the United States. The efficiency of mass marketing – extensive and rapidcommunication with customers through wide verity of media and a distribution system thatmakes products rapidly available- Combined with mass production brought the cost of many products within reach of most customers.
3)Organizationally:- Marketing consideration should be integral part of all short and long range planning in anycompany. Here's why:
The success of any business comes from satisfying the wants of its customers which isthe social and economic basis for the existence of all organizations.
Although many activities are essential to a company's growth , marketing is the only onethat produce revenue directly.
a) Services marketing:-
The U.S has gone through from primarily manufacturing economy to the world's firstservice economy. As opposed to goods, services are activities that are the object of a transaction.For example transportation, communication entertainment, medical care, financial services,education and repair services account of over two third of the nation's gross domestic product.
b)Not for profit marketers:- During 1980s and early 1990s many not for profit organizations realized thy neededeffective marketing programs to make up for shrinking government subsidies a decrease incharitable contribution and other unfavorable economic.DESIGNING DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
To design channels that satisfy customers and out of competition, an organized approach isrequired. We suggest a sequence of four decisions.
1)Specify The Role Of Distribution:- A channel strategy should be designed with in the context of the entire marketing mix.Firstly, the firm's marketing objectives are review and than the roles assigned to product, priceand promotion are specified.Each element may have separate role or two elements may have together roles. For Example Amanufacturer of pressure gauges may use both middle man and direct mail advertising toconvince customers.
2) Select the Type of Channel:- Once distribution role is specified, the most suitable type of channel for the companies' product must be determined. At this point a firm needs to decide whether middleman will beused in its channel and, if so, which type of middle man.
3) Determine Intensity of Distribution:- The next decision relates to intensity of distribution that is, the mo. Of middle man usedat the wholesale and retail levels. Because of the desires of prospective customers good year ound it necessary to intensity its distribution and as a result, started selling most of a tire linesthrough discount outlets.
4) Choose Specific Channel Members: The last decision concerns the selection of specific firms to distribute the product.Sometimes a company trying to market a new product, it has little choice regarding whichchannel members to use. In this case, the company goes must with those middleman that arewilling to distribute the product
Physical distribution:- Physical distribution consists of all activities concerned with moving activities the rightamount of the right products to the right place at the right time.Physical distribution for manufacturers includes the flow of raw materials from their sources of supply to the production line and the movement of finished goods from end of this productionline to final user's locations. Middleman manages the flows of goods onto their shelves as wellas their shelves to customer homes, store or other places of business.
The activities of physical distribution are order processing, inventory control, inventorylocation and warehousing, materials handling and transportation.
Strategic Use of Physical Distribution:- The management of physical distribution can enables company to satisfy customers need bitterly by reducing operating costs. The management of physical distribution can also effect afirms marketing mix
Selecting media:- Creation of message can be discussed before selecting the advertising media in which to place ad. The advertiser must make decision before selecting media
(i) Which type of media will be used?
(ii) Which category of the selected medium will be used?
(iii) Which specific media vehicles will be used?
(1) News Paper:- As advertising medium newspapers are flexible and timely. The life of newspaper is veryshort. They are discarded soon after being read. In many cities circulation of daily newspapers isdecreasing, because of growth of internet.
(2) Television:- Television combines motion, sound and special visual effects. In T.V message can be presented bitterly. However, TV ads lack performance, so they must be seen and understoodimmediately.
(3) Direct mails:- Direct mail has the potential of being most personal and selective of all media. Becausethe direct mail goes only to the people, the advertiser wishes to contact, there is almost nowastage coverage.
(4)Radio:-Radio is low cost per thousand medium because of its broad reach. Nearly 80% of American listens to the radio daily. Radio commercials can be produced in less than a week, at acost for below T.V. Because radio makes only an audio impression.
1.Increasing the sales of the product/service
2.Creating and maintaining a brand identity or brand image.
3.Communicating a change in the existing product line.
4.Introduction of a new product or service.5.
Increasing the buzz-value of the brand or the companyThere are various aims of advertising but the primary aim is to attract the sales for thecompany. In fact, the ultimate aim of any organization is to enhance its profitability and it is only possible when the company may attract more sales. The second aim of advertising is to enhancethe visibility of the products and services among the consumers. In other words, advertising isaimed to increase the awareness of the customers. Advertising also plays an important role to build the image of the organization in the market. Through ads the company can build the imagewhich it wants to make in the minds of the people. Therefore, nowadays, companies spend ahuge amount of their budgets on advertising and promotional strategies.

Programming Objective-C 2.0 – Beginner book goes through Objective-C basics, OO principles, and C language syntax. Does not assume that you know C/C++ or Java. This book may be a bit difficult for absolute beginners, but if you stick with it this book will teach you the basics you need to know. This book takes you from the beginning to the point where you are learning the iPhone SDK. By the way, there is now another book with the same name, do not fall for that and make sure if you get this book it is by Stephen Kochan.
Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X – While not specifically an iPhone book this book teaches many of the principles that you need to understand in great detail, beyond that of iPhone development books that I've seen. The book also goes into libraries that may be included on the iPhone in the future. This book can be a difficult read especially if you actually do the exercises, but it is well worth it.
Beginning iPhone 3 Development - This is probably my favorite programming book of all time, it's a very easy read, but still manages to explain the key concepts used. This is certainly not the most thorough programming book of all time, but combined with the knowledge contained in the two books above you should gain the knowledge required to understand Apple's documentation and examples. This book is currently being updated to include iPhone SDK 3.0 material. UPDATE: The new edition of the book can be found here: Beginning iPhone 3 Development, all material from the old book is included.
Here are some other books that I've checked out that I found to be of solid value:
The iPhone Developers Cookbook – This book contains many "recipes" that you can use when developing your book, it does not go into concepts at the level of depth of Beginning iPhone Development, but I have found several times that I end up going back to this book and adapting a recipe for use within my own code. This book is currently being updated to version 3.0, and from looking at the rough cut the added formulas look extremely useful. My rating 4/5.
Learning C on the Mac and Learning Objective-C on the Mac – These books basically go together so I'm mentioning them in the same phrase. Combined they will basically teach you almost as much as Programming Objective-C 2.0, but you'll end up buying two books instead of one and spend almost double. My rating 4.5/5 on C on the Mac, and 3.5 for the Objective-C on the mac book.
iPhone SDK Development – This is an ok book, it does not really go into anything in any depth, but it does point you in the right direction, and the sample code is very good. It covers some concepts related to web programming that are not covered within the other book.
1. The Black Art of 3D Game Programming. This is a great introduction to graphics math, and pretty much crams 3 college courses I took into this chapter. The whole book can be found here for free. It is an old book, but the math still holds true.
2. Vector & Matrix Math Tutorial If you feel that everything in the resource above is flying above your head then you probably will want to take a look at this. I normally wouldn't reccomend a resource that brags about being "book sized", but it is very good.
iPhone Specific Resources
3. iPhone OpenGL ES Tutorial Series I don't know if Maurice SImon is the smartest person alive, but this is the smartest set of OpenGL ES tutorials I've seen. A terrific resource.
4. Jeff LaMarche's iPhone Blog Blog from one of the authors of the excellent Beginning iPhone Development book with many articles on OpenGL ES, and an ongoing OpenGL ES from The Ground Up series.
5.SIO2 Engine this is an excellent Open Source 3D OpenGL ES engine, look at the code, understand, and maybe even use the engine rather than write your own from the ground up (nothing wrong with that).
6. Oolong Engine An Open source 3D OpenGL ES Game Engine for Iphone, MIT licensed. Written by Wolfgang Engel former Rockstar Games programmer, and author of some intense DirectX books. Great to see the libraries in here for handling memory, loading 3d models, and performing math.
7. Cocos2D Iphone This is an excellent Open Source 2D OpenGL ES Game Framework for iPhone you can learn alot from going in and looking around the code. As far as Open Source frameworks go this extremely easy to use, well documented, and has an active community.
8. SDL for iPhone (SDL Version 1.3) The SDL library has been a popular open source library for probably over a decade, and has been used in many games. This is the iPhone port, and a great resource.
9.Non iPhone Resources If you use these resources you'll need to put in some time to get things running on the iPhone, but they are still excellent.
10. Nehe Tutorials Converted To Open GL ES Michael Gorchak creator of the GluES library has put together this collection of tutorials converted from their original Nehe form. In case you haven't heard of them the Nehe tutorials were the definitive free tutorials for learning OpenGL. Michael has done an excellent job of writing comments for these tutorials.
11. Khronos OpenGL ES Page This is the OpenGL ES "homepage" on which you will find the reference manual, and lots of examples. Not specifically IPhone, but there are some great examples here and even a complete racing game BSD licensed.
12. Khronos OpenGL ES 1.x Step-By-Step Tutorials This page is from Imagination Technologies makers of the Iphone GPU, and it contains the Khronos tutorials converted to OpenGL ES and created for the PowerVR technology. Good to lean from especially as to how they load Pod files.
13. SIO2 Engine this is an excellent This site contains 25 Great OpenGL ES Tutorials and they are extremely well paced, this was a site I learned alot from.
14. Typhoon Labs OpenGL ES Tutorials Another excellent set of OpenGL ES tutorials if you're addicted to tutorials you might want to check these out too.
OpenGL ES 2.0 Resources
These are the OpenGL ES 2.0 resources you know so far, the Khronos OpenGL ES page above also includes information on OpenGL ES 2.0. You can see there aren't many that i know of so if you know of some killer OpenGL ES 2.0 resources please link to them
15. The OpenGL ES Programming Book The code from this book has been updated to run on the iPhone and can be found here. Make sure you have a solid understanding of OpenGL (or OpenGL ES 1.x) before starting this book.
16. The OpenGL ES Shading Language This is a free pdf book from Khronos, and actually a really good read, and will teach you what you need to know, again don't try this until you at least have some OpenGL understanding or your head may explode. Thanks to Bill Dudney one of the authors of iPhone SDK Development for pointing this out.

"Totally disinterested"
About: The Bradgate Mental Health Unit The Bradgate Mental Health Unit LE3 9EJ
Posted by Anonymous
Great, this form just deleted everything I typed because I clicked on the next field... here we go again!
I'm an ADHD clinic outpatient waiting (and waiting....) to get a diagnosis. Each appointment has been a question and answer sessions from a written questionnaire that I could have completed at home myself! Bloods were taken at the first appointment but results were not in at the second, 3 months later! no doubt they will be taken again and we'll have another 3 month wait.
At the second appointment in January, the Dr indicated on the form that they wanted to see me in 2 weeks. The admin staff told me bluntly that "Doctors don't decide when to see patients, that's up to the outpatients admin staff". Nice to know that clinical need is not a factor.
I tried to be patient, but called a couple of weeks later, only to be told the same again and my appointment might be in March. Now, at the end of March, an appointment card has landed for the end of May! So much for the "2 weeks" request from the doctor!
Additionally, I was told by the doctor that they would likely be able to diagnose at the 2nd appointment, but then they changed that to explain that they need to speak to another doctor first as the diagnose together and although the questionnaire was incomplete, they'd likely be able to diagnose at the next appointment and begin treatment, if necessary. However, it might be another 3 or 4 month wait after that appointment, especially if those blood results don't turn up.
I'm now 12 months after the initial referral from my local psychiatrist and look to be at least another 6 months away from a diagnosis whilst symptoms are worsening and it's getting much harder to cope!
This is disgusting treatment of a mental health patient who has suffered long enough with severe symptoms being missed by the medical and mental health profession for decades. No doubt, all these delays are engineered so that we can all get our "first appointment" and the hospital can meet government targets for patients being seen after referral. Time to stop the funding cuts and train your admin staff on how to speak to patients, particularly mental health patients.
I could have cut all of this short by paying to get a diagnosis privately, save the NHS some money, but was told that the NHS will not accept a private diagnosis, even from an ADHD specialist consultant! Way to go on saving money huh?!
Response from The Bradgate Mental Health Unit 16 months ago
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience.
We are very sorry for all the delays you have experienced and we are concerned that your symptoms are getting worse.
Please can you contact our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) at email@example.com or via telephone on 0116 295 0830 and we can investigate this on your behalf.

Light wind on San Francisco Bay threatened on Monday to delay a showdown in the America's Cup, with a once-formidable Emirates Team New Zealand struggling to regain an edge to take the trophy from increasingly confident defender Oracle Team USA.
With two match victories on Sunday, the team owned by software billionaire Larry Ellison has now won four in a row, refusing to give up the one final race that the Kiwis need to take the Cup home.
Uncooperative weather conditions on the bay have wreaked havoc on the America's Cup race schedule and could prevent more racing on Monday.
"The forecast is essentially light and variable, magnificent for water skiing," said regatta director Iain Murray. "It's a promising day, just a matter of whether it gets going early enough."
After struggling to keep up with New Zealand in the early matches of the final series, Oracle made changes to its AC72 catamaran and improved crew execution. It's newly found competitiveness has set the stage for a historic comeback.
At the start of both of Sunday's two races, Oracle forced New Zealand toward the course boundary, a strategy that helped skipper Jimmy Spithill open early leads that New Zealand failed to close.
New Zealand's point advantage over Oracle has fallen to 8-5 in the best-of-17 series. Oracle now needs to win four straight races to keep the Cup, while New Zealand needs just one to take it home.
Too much wind, too little wind, and wind from the wrong direction have forced organizers to postpone several races since the series began on Sept 7. On Saturday, the Kiwis were well on their way to winning one last match, and the Cup. But with both teams struggling to find enough wind, that race was called off after a time limit was exceeded.

Hello My Fellow Lostpedians:
Well it seems as though everyone's collective brain broke this month, and to either the joy or chagrin of every one of us, we the distinguished Lostpedia frequenters, some pretty wacky topics arose. As it appears to be winding down, I will now summarize what we have learned about ourselves lately.
- We range in age from 12 to late 60's.
- We are apparently everywhere in the world.
- There are a lot of females on here (this shocked me, and made the whole thing feel slightly more socially acceptable).
- Our Favorite Characters are Sawyer, Desmond, Ben, Locke and Jack
- Our Least Favorite Characters are Shannon, Ana Lucia, and, oddly enough, Jack (a very divisive character, I guess).
- Also, Phil managed to make it to the near top of our collective Most Disliked list in a shockingly low number of episodes, giving him the highest Dick Moves to Episode ratio (DM:E) of the entire bunch (besides maybe Anthony Cooper). Imagine if he had been around since the beginning!
- Most of us would like to open a restaurant with Hurley (gotta be the garlic mayo), while another large chunk would open a Long John Silver's franchise with Jin
- Sawyer, Desmond, and Jin topped the hottest males list, while Kate, Claire and Shannon were neck and neck for females. Sun had a sturdy following as well.
- Everyone's favorite one episode characters were Dave, hurley's imaginary buddy, and Juliets husband, who is currently stuck in the front grill of a bus
- Beardo is going to Comic-Con as The Island. Keep your eyes peeled.
- Apparently, Kate vs. Ana Lucia would be one hell of a fight
- Most of us would like to see Locke and Charlie be raised from the dead. There was also a strong following for Jacob, and several people won't let the Libby thing die.
- At one point or another, every Lost character has gotten OWNED (or PWNED, as the kids are saying these days)
- The most popular fight was Sawyer and Jack's recent junk-crushing Rumble in the Jungle, though several Ben beatdowns were mentioned as well. His head must be like soft cantaloupe by now.
- Eamezey dreams in episode form. This is apparently very common amongst us.
- Our favorite topics for discussion (besides polls of course) are: Season 6 beginning scene, Is Locke dead, Is Locke possessed from the very beginning, who are adam and eve (STILL), and why we all hate Kate so much.
- We are all awesome, amazing, and supremely anxious individuals.
SOOOO thats about the collective knowledge gleaned from this wacky month of blogging. I know it bothered some to have so many 'frivolous' topics, but I found it amusing and enlightening. Here's to 6 more months of grasping at straws, until they finally give us some new ammunition! I love you crazy kids.

Three classic artist albums. Nice and simple, no frills just great music! Includes Främling (1983), Steg För Steg (1984) and My Tribute (1993).
IS THERE A CONNECTION? Are we seeing a connection between our ancient past and what is happening today? Were huge stones simply levitated into position, and do we have any modern evidence that such a thing may have been possible? WATCHERS 8 explores how today's UFO phenomena and the ancient evidence in Peru may be connected. We'll also continue with our story in WATCHERS 7 with Bill's implant. We will go into surgery and watch the incredible details where a simple prayer seemed to defy logic. No one could have known that this would be Dr. Leir's last "alien" surgical procedure. You'll see some of the latest UFO footage, including infrared photography showing light formations flying overhead. Could they be preparing for something? Gary Stearman and Paul McGuire weigh in. You'll hear from Captain Robert Salas about how a glowing red UFO disabled the nuclear missiles at the base he commanded, and at others - revealing newly declassified information from the Air Force. Then, we'll go back.

Know it. Fight it. End it.
Detroit, MI (PRWEB) September 18, 2013
More than 3,000 people will run and walk to raise funds and awareness about pancreatic cancer, the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States, at PurpleStride Detroit 2013 on September 29, 2013 at the Detroit Zoo.
The event will benefit the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, the national organization creating hope in a comprehensive way through research, patient support, community outreach and advocacy for a cure. The event will include music and family friendly festivities throughout the day. Registration begins at 7:30 am and the event begins at 9:00am. To register, visit http://www.purplestride.org/detroit.
"PurpleStride Detroit is meant as a day of hope and inspiration for people who have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer as well as a tribute to people who have passed away from this terrible disease," said Marcie Levey, Event Coordinator for the Detroit Affiliate of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network . "We are honored to have Honorary Co-Chairs from three top medical institutions in the community; Robert P. Jury, M.D. of Beaumont Health System, Philip A. Philip, M.D., PhD of Karmanos Cancer Institute and Dianne M. Simeone, M.D. of University of Michigan. We will be joining tens of thousands of people across the country who are taking part in more than 50 PurpleStride events this year and are proud to share one common goal – to end pancreatic cancer."
Pancreatic cancer has one of the lowest survival rates of all major cancers - 73 percent die within one year of diagnosis and the five-year survival rate is just six percent. A recent report indicates that pancreatic cancer is anticipated to move from the fourth to the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States by 2020, and possibly as early as 2015. This devastating disease has claimed the lives of many public figures including Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, actor Patrick Swayze, physicist and first American woman in space, Sally Ride, Nobel Prize winner Dr. Ralph Steinman, Carnegie Mellon University Professor Dr. Randy Pausch, actor Michael Landon, and opera tenor Luciano Pavarotti.

About the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network
The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is the national organization creating hope in a comprehensive way through research, patient support, community outreach and advocacy for a cure. The organization is leading the way to increase the survival rate for people diagnosed with this devastating disease through a bold initiative—The Vision of Progress: Double the Pancreatic Cancer Survival Rate by 2020. Together, we can know, fight and end pancreatic cancer by intensifying our efforts to heighten awareness, raise funds for comprehensive private research, and advocate for dedicated federal research to advance early diagnostics, better treatments and increase chances of survival.

(soap I made for my wedding favors, green was the wedding color but I didn't think about dying them until halfway through)The first thing I want to address is a serious misconception I call the lye quandary. No Lye = No Soap, end of story. It is the chemical reaction between lye and oil/fat that creates soap, therefore No Lye = No Soap. Another serious misconception is that there's lye in lye made soap. THERE IS NOT LYE IN SOAP MADE WITH LYE (unless you messed up lol) The finished soap does not contain any lye. Lye is the ONLY way to make healthy, natural soap that's free of the yucky chemicals you'll find in soap like substances otherwise.
I also want to mention that you do not need a recipe to make soap. You need a formula. What's the difference? Freedom. Recipes require you to have exact ingredients to get the finished result. Formulas let you tell them what ingredients you have, and they tell you what amounts of those ingredients to use.
The first ingredient you need is lye. You may be able to find lye at a hardware store in the drain declogging section, you need to get the container that says 100% lye. Otherwise you may have to order it online. Another ingredient you need is some sort of liquid to mix the lye solution; this can be coconut milk, goat's milk, or water- when learning just use water. Fragrance is really not needed for learning, but will be nice to have later on. The last ingredient is oil, for your first time just buy the cheapest oil out of the cooking aisle, if you mess up you're gonna be ticked enough without dumping expensive ingredients too, soap from cheap oil is still good soap and works fine.
Use a lye calculator to figure out how much of each you need. I like this one- Bramble Berry Lye Calculator Soapmaking Lye Calculators the best since it is the simplest when starting out. You just tell it how much of what type of oil you want to change to soap and it tells you how much liquid and lye you need to do it, including superfatting. I suggest superfatting while you are starting out. This makes your soap more moisturizing and extra oil means there's less chance of any unused lye.
Besides ingredients there are several items you will need, like a scale (I just use a basic kitchen one). However, something you want to make sure you don't use is aluminum. If the soap starts turning a mint green and you can't figure out why, it's because your using aluminum, dump the batch and start over without the aluminum. Instead of aluminum use stainless steel. You can usually find the three pot sets of pretty big stainless steel pots for around $20-$30. Or check out thrift stores, although it's not always easy to tell what's stainless steel and what's aluminum (not for me anyways)
You will need a heat resistant spoon and something to make the lye solution in, I bought a $20 stainless steel percolator and just use the pot part of it for this (added bonus of being easy to poor later). Make certain you make the solution outside and poor the lye in painfully slow. You will need rubber gloves and protective eye wear for this.
You will need a mold, this can really be anything that can take the initial heat, I use mini-loaf silicon molds. If you are making cold process and you don't have a wooden soap mold with a lid then you will need a lot of towels or a blanket to wrap around the soap in the mold to keep it from cooling off before the process is done. If your soap does go cold in the first 24 hours anyways then something was off, if you want you can try dumping it back in a pot and heating it back up and remolding to jump start the process again, but that doesn't always work, but is worth a shot. Or if your soap is in oven safe containers then look up "oven hot process" soap and you might try that.
I just wanted to throw some tips out there. I get asked a lot about making soap so thought some of that might help. Most of it has been mentioned in greenhome.huddler or in various places also, so some of it might be familiar to some of you.
A wonderful site for help with making soap is http://www.millersoap.com/
I know I've said this already, but it's really important!!! Remember to ALWAYS mix lye and any water based liquid outside in a well ventilated area slowly, using rubber gloves and goggles and never pour the water/liquid into lye, always pour lye into the water/liquid.

Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ), Chairman of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government-Sponsored Enterprises, today applauded the Senate passage of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act to increase capital formation, spur the growth of startups and small businesses, and pave the way for more small-scale businesses to go public and create American jobs.
"The JOBS Act helps create an environment where freely flowing capital fosters competition and encourages innovation," said Garrett after the Senate voted to approve the JOBS Act 73-26. "A dynamic economy means a strong economy, where new products and services pave the way for more growth and upward mobility for all.
"I have always stressed the importance of tearing down unnecessary regulations that saddle small business with burdensome costs and restrict their access to much-needed financing. For too long, the job-creators of this country have been waiting in the shadows to unleash their entrepreneurial spirit on our economy, which is why I made many of the individual components in this bill a top priority of my subcommittee. I am pleased to see the other chamber finally act upon the bipartisan efforts of the House and pass this long-awaited bill.
As Chairman of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government-Sponsored Enterprises, Garrett played a leading role in bringing the JOBS Act to the House floor. In October, the Capital Markets and Government-Sponsored Enterprises Subcommittee approved the underlying bills incorporated into the JOBS Act, including H.R. 3606, the Reopening American Capital Markets to Emerging Growth Companies Act, sponsored by Reps. Fincher and Carney; H.R. 2940, the Access to Capital for Job Creators Act, sponsored by Rep. McCarthy; H.R. 2930, the Access to Capital for Job Creators Act, sponsored by Rep. McHenry; H.R. 1070, the Small Company and Capital Formation Act, sponsored by Rep. Schweikert; and H.R. 2167, the Private Company Flexibility and Growth Act, sponsored by Rep. Schweikert.

I suppose well Luna and I were always different
so we stuck together she lived on a ranch with lots of trees almost a forest
and the day before she went missing
we sat in a tree just some random tree
she told me that she was giving up and helping Mr.Suit
at that time I though that it was her fathers boss and she was getting a summer job
I never thought that she shared my plague
so we smiled and passed it off
we spent the rest of the day doing what we usually do
trying to tip cows collecting eggs eating food playing video games
and just regular teen stuff
I slept over. it was a regular thing for me to do
then the next day is when it went south
We were out playing in the trees
usually we are in by dark
but we stayed out way past that
Luna was insistent
I grew more scared
then He camestood right behind her
and I screamed but she smiled at him
and then they disappeared
and I thought she was dead because I saw what I thought was her body the next week in a tree
but I've seen her in my room twice since that.
I wish I could be happy that she is alive
but it is my fault.
all of it
I let her leave
I didn't see that she was
leaveing it all behind

Have an opinion?
My preference are tattoos that can be hidden in typical business wear but no piercings. Just me. But that doesn't mean there aren't sexy men who have visible tatts and piercings! There are ton but the men I date don't have anything visible
I don't find either of those two examples attractive. Piercings aren't for me.
Some tattoos can look nice! But it depends on the tattoo itself and where it's placement is.
This kind of tattoos and piercings is not only unattractive it's disgusting im not against tattoos and piercings but i hate too much tattoos and piercings
Just one or two is attractive, more than that, forget it.
That boi has his dick stick out. But personally to me, their both hot

In collaboration with
Supernova remnants are the dramatic objects produced by the violent explosion of a massive star at the end of its life. This explosion, called a supernova, is one of the most energetic events in the universe, and causes a single star to briefly outshine the entire galaxy in which it is located. Supernovas in our own galaxy have produced spectacular light shows in the night (and often in the daytime) sky, but the last supernova in the Milky Way galaxy that was visible from Earth was in 1604. This is why the supernova discovered in the Large Magellanic Cloud (a nearby galaxy) in 1987 (called SN1987A) was so exciting to astronomers: it was the only supernova visible with the naked eye in the last 400 years!
Astronomers believe that supernovas occur in our galaxy roughly once every hundred years on average. Why are such infrequent events so interesting and important? The enormous amount of energy released in a supernova explosion has major effects on the interstellar medium (the gas between the stars). The explosion itself involves the core of the massive star, which is primarily composed of iron by the time it explodes. When the star is born, it is made of 90% hydrogen and 10% helium. The nuclear fusion that occurs in the center of the star combines hydrogen nuclei (protons) to form helium nuclei, releasing the energy that fuels the star during most of its life. Once the hydrogen in the core is exhausted, the helium is fused to form carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, releasing more energy. This process continues, with the inner core of the star being converted to larger and larger nuclei, until finally the star is composed of an iron/nickel core surrounding by shells of silicon/sulpher, neon/magnesium, carbon/nitrogen/oxygen, helium, and hydrogen. The structure is like an onion. Once the inner core is converted to iron/nickel, no more energy is available from the fusion process and the inner core collapses catastrophically to form a neutron star or black hole. In the resulting explosion, the outer layers of the star are blown out into space with a velocity of up to 15,000 km/s (more than 30 million mph!).
There are two primary results. In the first place, this enormous explosion has a strong effect on the interstellar medium (ISM). It blasts a hole in the ISM that gradually expands until it reaches up to several hundred light years in diameter. This interior of this bubble in the ISM is extremely hot (typically several million degrees Celsius) but may only have one proton in every liter of volume. The interstellar medium is strongly disturbed by these supernova explosions, which are believed to have a strong effect on how gas is distributed in our galaxy. The shock waves from these explosions may also be responsible for collapsing interstellar clouds to form new stars, thus closing the cycle of stellar evolution.
Supernova remnants are also extremely important for distributing various elements through the interstellar medium. The Big Bang produced very little material besides hydrogen and helium, yet we know that most of our planet is composed of other elements. These other elements were produced inside stars and during supernova explosions, and were disbursed into the interstellar medium by supernova remnants. Eventually, the remnants cool and collapse to form interstellar clouds from which new stars and planets can be formed. (Click here for more information on how the elements are formed in stars and distributed through the galaxy by supernova explosions.)
The very tenous gas in the interior of the supernova remnant glows at X-ray wavelengths and can be observed by X-ray telescopes. (The gas around the edges of the remnant may produce optical and/or radio emission.) X-ray observations of supernova remnants have been a valuable source of information on the interactions between the explosion and the surrounding gas, and have been used to create our present understanding of the supernova explosion. At Penn State, we have been observing the X-rays from supernova remnants utilizing X-ray space telescopes on board ROSAT, Chandra, and XMM-Newton satellite observatories. We present highlights of our supernova remnant-science with some spectacular images.

We've all been in a beautifully designed, built, and decorated building. Maybe it was a lobby of a hotel or the reception area of a large office tower. These spaces are purpose built. From design to implementation a goal is established and worked towards. By a large margin these are the types of spaces we experience, but there are alternatives. Transformative spaces are those that, as the name might suggest, transform the use of a space from one purpose to another. Think of shipping crates transformed into small bars, or industrial hangers turned into interactive art spaces.
Section 8 in Melbourne (photo: Lucy Feagin)
A great example of a transformative space is Melbourne's Section 8. Section 8 exists in an alleyway car park in the middle of Melbourne's central business district. There was no opportunity to build anything in the abandoned lot, so Section 8 repurposed one shipping crate to serve as their bar, another to serve as their small kitchen, and littered the left over space with wooden palettes serving as makeshift seating. Transformative spaces take advantage of the unexpected. They tap into a do-it-yourself attitude, bringing creativity and a sense of discovery to otherwise drab and underused spaces.
A converted water cleaning station on the French Riviera
Not all transformative spaces are commercial properties either. Take for example this home in the French Riviera. Originally designed as a water cleaning station it has since been converted into a home. One of the advantages offered by transformative spaces is the unique opportunity to utilize features already present in the space. Nobody, or almost nobody, would go to the trouble of installing antique water cleaning pipes and machinery from 1910 in their home. Luckily, in this case they came pre-installed. They give the space a completely unique and authentic design aesthetic. The old steel and patina copper meets modern sleep design features in this excellent example of how a large space can be converted into a stunning example of transformative spaces.
Steam Whistle brewery in Toronto, Ontario
Another great example is the Steam Whistle Brewery in Toronto. The brewery is housed within bays 1-14 of the John Street Roundhouse. Initially serving as a repair facility for the Canadian Pacific Railway as early as 1929 the building has undergone a number of changes but many of the original features remain. The large rotating platform used to direct trains into the bays is still out front, and inside the brewing equipment winds its way around the original structures high ceilings and wide open rooms.
Transformative spaces reveal themselves slowly. They are something you stumble upon and learn more about as you experience them. History is hidden in the walls. They make you think about how to better utilize space of your own, question whether that small space in the corner of your garage is actually useless.

All officers from the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) to Inspector- General of Police, will henceforth declare their assets, the Acting Inspector- General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, has declared.
Idris made the statement yesterday in Abuja when he paid a courtesy visit to the Minister of Interior, Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (rtd).
He said that the directive was in line with Section 13 cap 15 Code of Conduct Act. "Every police officer from the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police to Inspector-General who are commissioned officers must declare their assets," Idris said.
He added that the directive would guide the conduct of police officers in carrying out their duties.
The police boss promised that under his administration, the integrity of the force would be further enhanced. "I assure you sir, that we will raise the integrity of the Nigeria Police Force to be more accountable to the people," he said.
