What's the difference between data theft from a bank account versus a healthcare record? For starters, think of theft from a bank account as the equivalent of a single withdrawal; one and done. Sooner than later it's discovered, a new account number is issued and, as a hacker, you're effectively cut off. When it comes to a healthcare record, however, think of it as an annuity, something you can continue to cash in on because, unlike a bank record, you simply can't change your medical history. A healthcare record will continue to pay dividends for a hacker as long as they want it to.
The Damage Done
In the latter case in particular, there's no shortage of money to be made. In fact, Accenture recently estimated cyber attacks will cost hospitals more than $305 billion through 2020 with one in 13 patients expected to have their data compromised by a breach.
But the damage doesn't stop there. A study by the Brooking Institution projects that one in four data breaches this year will occur within healthcare, and since late 2009, the PHI of more than 155 million Americans has been exposed. Of course, this doesn't take into consideration the multiple instances of ransomware attacks plaguing healthcare institutions in recent months that the FBI sent a warning about.
In recent news, one hacker reportedly placed upwards of 650,000 healthcare records for sale on the dark web. With price points for those databases ranging from $100,000 to $411,000 — and each of those records available for use and reuse by hackers into perpetuity — the analogy to a stolen healthcare record as an annuity isn't very far off the mark.
The Regulatory Environment, Other Vulnerabilities Exposed
Much like a culture growing in a Petri dish, the combination of industry regulation and a myriad of state-specific laws have produced the perfect environment for hackers to breach these records. In fact, to comply with these requirements, many hospitals often store patient PHI for years on end. If you do the math, the possibility of a data breach can only increase based on the amount and length of time it is stored.
Moreover, the majority of healthcare organizations have failed to satisfy even basic security practices. These include disabling concurrent login to multiple devices. enforcing strong authentication, and isolating critical devices and medical data storing servers from a direct internet connection. In the 2016 RSA Cybersecurity Poverty Index it reported that just 27% of healthcare respondents rated themselves as having "developed or advantaged" cybersecurity maturity and practices, including incident response and risk identification.
There is no single solution or technology on the market today to solve the problem, but going back to basics is a start. Especially with stringent requirements from HIPAA, HITECH, and the EU Data Protection Directives, healthcare providers need solutions that minimize risk; detect, investigate and respond to advanced threats; confirm and manage identities; and ultimately, prevent identity theft, fraud, and cybercrime.
Employee education is one area that is underrated. While we can't have employees paranoid every email attachment they open may include a potential gateway for hackers into the network, we must train them on these types of threats, the potential damage it can cause and the dangers of opening emails or their attachments, even when they're addressed personally to them. It's like preventative medicine in a way.
While information sharing across the healthcare industry has been bolstered with the passage of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) in December 2015, it's still up to individuals in the healthcare environment to mitigate external threats both in the short and long-term by reporting suspicious emails to supervisors and thinking of their environment as an ongoing target.

Supervalu Pharmacies Step Up National Flu Prevention Program
The grocerwholesaler is offering immunization options in 30 states.
In a bid to help consumers avoid catching the flu at the outset of the season, Supervalu Pharmacies later this month will offer influenza vaccines in two forms.
Beginning September 28, specially trained and certified Supervalu pharmacists will administer both the needle-free FluMist nasal spray and traditional flu vaccinations, during regular pharmacy hours on a walk-in basis or by appointment at most locations.
In addition, the company will offer host a series of flu shot clinics in most Supervalu stores at various times through November 1.
The flu shot program represents "a more holistic approach to pharmacy," said Chris Dimos, president of the Franklin Park, Ill.-based Supervalu pharmacy subsidiary. "Our in-store pharmacists across the country see that many health-related choices are influenced by convenience and price. As a company we are responding to these real concerns."
Dimos said Supervalu Pharmacies has also reduced the price of its flu shots compared to last year.
Supervalu's pharmacy subsidiary operates under 11 retail brands: Acme Sav-on Pharmacy, Albertsons Sav-on Pharmacy, Albertsons Osco Pharmacy, bigg's Pharmacy, Cub Pharmacy, Farm Fresh Pharmacy, Jewel-Osco Pharmacy, Shaw's Osco Pharmacy, Shop'n Save Pharmacy, Shop 'n Save Osco Pharmacy, and Shoppers Pharmacy.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending that more people than ever get a flu shot this year.

Choosing mastectomy or not: Studying young women's surgical choices
Jeff's targeted therapy has kept his advanced lung cancer at bay.
If your blood test is positive for testicular cancer tumor markers, or if your ultrasound reveals a cancerous-appearing lump in your testicle, you will be referred to a specialist called a urologist. Urologists are surgeons who focus on the urinary tracts of males and females, and on the reproductive system of males, including problems with the testicles. For patients with testicular cancer, a urologist will perform the surgery to remove your tumor.
Unlike other cancers for which a biopsy (the removal of a sample of cells for examination) is performed, when testicular cancer is suspected the entire testicle is removed in a procedure called an orchiectomy through an incision in the groin and pulling the testicle up from the scrotum. A biopsy through the scrotum for testicular cancer runs the risk of spreading the cancer, and can complicate future treatment options. Removing the entire testicle out of the scrotum is the only safe way to diagnose for testicular cancer. Only the cancer-containing testicle is removed, and it is important to do so promptly. Our urology team will make this a priority for you. If there is any uncertainty, the urologists can examine the testicle by pulling the testicle out of the scrotum; if a condition other than testis cancer is found, the testicle is placed back into the scrotum.
This may sound frightening, but recovery is quick. And do not worry — the remaining testicle can do the work of two. Please understand that removal of the testicle will not make you sterile (unable to have children) and does not take away your ability to enjoy sexual activity or have an erection.
The removed testicle will be sent to our pathology laboratory for a thorough examination under a microscope. A pathologist is a specially trained doctor who identifies cancerous cells and tumors. DF/BWCC pathologists are well-known for their expert evaluation of testicular cancer. They will diagnose and classify your cancer quickly and competently.
Most testicular cancers are classified as germ cell tumors. This is not an infection. Instead, the term germ cell reflects the fact that testicles make sperm. Germ cell tumors are divided into two types: seminoma and nonseminoma.
In order to decide what treatment is best for you, it is important to know whether or not your testicular cancer has spread beyond the testicle. Another kind of scan can be used to look for cancer in other parts of the body:
Our experienced radiologists will review your scans to help determine the stage of your cancer.
Testicular cancer is divided — or staged — into groups based on how far the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Here are the basic stages for testicular cancer:

Computer Music Modeling and Retrieval. Genesis of Meaning in Sound and Music:5th International Symposium, CMMR 2008 Copenhagen, Denmark, May 19-23, 2008 Revised Papers
- Publisher
- Springer
- Publication Date
- Source
- Legacy
- Keywords
- Disciplines
CMMR is an annual event focusing on important aspects of computer music. CMMR 2008 was the fifth event in this series and was co-organized by Aal- borg University Esb jerg, Denmark (http://www.aaue.dk), the Laboratoire de Meecanique et d'Acoustique, CNRS in Marseille, France (http:/www.lma.cnrs- mrs.fr) and the Network for Cross-Disciplinary Studies of Music and Meaning, University of Southern Denmark (http://www.ntsmb.dk/). The conference was held in Copenhagen, May 19–23, 2008.
The four previous editions of CMMR gathered a large number of notewor- thy papers by researchers from the field of computer music. The proceedings of these conferences were published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS 2771, LNCS 3310, LNCS 3902 and LNCS 4969). The present edi- tion follows the lineage of the previous ones, including a collection of 21 papers specially reviewed and corrected for this proceedings volume. The field of computer music embraces a large number of research areas that span from information retrieval, programming, artificial intelligence to acous- tics, signal processing and sound modeling. In the last CMMR gatherings an increased emphasis was placed on the role of human interaction at all levels of musical practice, as well as perceptual and cognitive aspects in order to establish relations between the structure of sounds and their impact on human beings. The identification of perceptually relevant sound structures is linked to the notion of the sense of sounds, which was the title of the CMMR 2007 conference.
CMMR 2008 further expanded the "Sense of Sounds" concept by taking into account the musical structure as a whole by proposing the theme "Gen- esis of Meaning in Sound and Music". The purpose was to establish rigorous research alliances between computer and engineering sciences (information re- trieval, programming, acoustics, signal processing) and areas within the hu- manities (in particular perception, cognition, musicology, philosophy), and to globally address the notion of sound meaning and its implications in music, modeling and retrieval. As a step in this direction, NTSMB, the Network for Cross-Disciplinary Studies of Music and Meaning as well as JMM: The Journal of Music and Meaning participated in CMMR 2008. The conference was partly supported by the French National Agency (ANR) within the pro ject senSons (http://www.sensons.cnrs-mrs.fr).
The current book is divided into two main chapters, one that concerns re- trieval of meaning and another that concerns generation of meaning. The first part of the retrieval chapter deals with perceptual and cognitive aspects span- ning from EEG analysis to social interaction analysis through movement capture, while the second part addresses more traditional music information retrieval issues linked to synchronization, labeling, music query and classification. The generation chapter presents music performance strategies and experiences as well as tools for score analyses and representation.
We would like to thank the Program Committee members for their valuable paper reports and thank all the participants who made CMMR 2008 Genesis of Meaning in Sounds and Music a stimulating and unique event. Finally, we would like to thank Springer for accepting to publish the CMMR 2008 proceedings in their LNCS series.

Question: Under marketing orders instituted during the 1930s and administered by
Under marketing orders instituted during the 1930s and administered by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, orange growers in California and Arizona have been successful in behaving as a cartel in the fresh orange market. Despite the ability of California and Arizona growers to rely on marketing orders to cartelize the fresh fruit market, explain why, from a general equilibrium perspective, marketing orders have had only a limited effect on grower profits because of the fact that fruit can be diverted to secondary, processed food markets such as orange juice concentrate.

Mako woke up seeing a Ba Sing Se-like wall.
"Well, looks like we must be here," Mako said to himself.
Naga collapsed on the ground exhausted.
"What's going on?"
"Korra, you're up! Were here!"
Korra jumped. "Already?"
"Yeah, I guess."
Korra walked up to the wall entrance where two guards were standing.
"Who are you?" One of the two guards asked.
"I'm Korra."
"Korra? Pft, we get like 20 Korras a day, get lost."
"No, I'm the real Korra, the Avatar?" Korra insisted.
"Prove it," the guard said, annoyed.
Korra airbended in his face. "Just let me in and there will be no issues, no problems at all."
The guards let Korra in and tried to make it that Mako would not be able to go through but Korra grabbed Mako and spun the guards. After entering, they were shocked to see tall glass building more modern than those in Republic City, it was like a modern version of Ba Sing Se.
"Wow, now I know why the Earth King wants this place so bad. Doesn't mean he has to conquer it though."
"How about we take a tour around the city, I bet there must be something interesting to do around here if it's so dense."
"That's a great idea, let's go exploring especially when the Earth King coming in a few days hoping to take whatever he can now lets just do that," Korra said hyperly to Mako.
"Uh, I'm sorry I said something..."
"Sorry, why would you be sorry? It's a great idea!"
"Wait, so you weren't being sarcastic and hotheaded?"
"Again, sorry I said something."
Mako and Korra were walking down the street. Mako stopped at a gift store when he saw an array of maps on display; he browsed around as Korra got impatient.
"Which one do you think that I should take, Korra? This map? Or this one? Oh, how about this one?"
"You're starting to act a lot like Bolin recently, your goofy brother. What happened to the tough guy, Mako?" Korra said with heart eyes.
"Uh... So this map, right?" Mako said, ignoring what Korra said.
"Yeah, that one."
Korra and Mako continued walking until they came across a large crowd gathering around something that seemed to be the City Hall.
"I wonder what kind of rip off this guy is trying to sell."
"And I give you the extension of your radio, it gives you sound and pictures live. I give you the, live mover, the television! This thing will be able to, without any film strips, display anything that is beaking out like from that new antenna that we build over there!"
Korra and Mako turn around to look at the antenna, and then they turn to each other.
"So what is this? Something that turns Telecommunication signals as used with radios, but to make moving pictures too?"
"That's correct," the salesperson said as he pointed to Mako. "Now we need just one film strip or mover and send its signal out for everyone here who has this device to watch. I will run a demonstration."
Korra and Mako watch the demonstration of the projector-like television.
After the demonstration, the large crowd disperses. Korra and Mako walk down the street.
"So, Mako, what do you think about this place?"
"It's okay, not a place I dream about living in, but it's good."
"Who do you think has more high-rises, Mako?"
"I'm still going to say Republic City."
Korra's stomach rumbles. Korra spots a restaurant in the distance.
"Mako, how about we stop for lunch at the restaurant?"
"Okay, sounds good."
Korra and Mako walk toward the restaurant. One of the waiters seat them in the outdoor patio. Korra and Mako order what they want, and then they enjoy their meal and carry on with their day.
Korra and Mako walk down the street approaching the oceanfront with a cool breeze coming from the South Pole. They stop at a park that is at the Oceanfront.
"This cool breeze reminds me of my home... at the South Pole," Korra said as she stared at the cool ocean bringing cold temperatures from the South Pole.
"I think it is getting late, Mako. Maybe we should find find a hotel or something."
"Yeah, I guess that would be a good idea."
Korra and Mako set out a quest to find a hotel to stay in for the night. After their long search, they finally found a decent hotel in the city to stay for the night.

The Revage 670 Laser is a low-level laser treatment for thinning hair. The Revage 670 Laser is a safe and painless laser system.
-As seen on the Doctors (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQF8--8hRTo)
-Dermatology Times
-Used by Doctors, Dermatologist and Hair Loss Professionals.
The Revage 670 Laser is a low-level laser treatment for thinning hair. The system, utilizing Rotational PhotoTherapy (RPT), contains 30 laser diodes that rotate 180 degrees around the scalp. This dynamic process increases the contact of the laser energy with the hair follicles and thus is potentially more effective in stimulating hair growth than hand-held lasers.
The Revage 670 Laser is a safe and painless laser system. It has been issued an accession number by the FDA. This means that the product is classified as a cosmetic product and has met the international laser standard for safety.
Studies with the device have shown that the low level laser produces an 85% success rate in halting the progression of hair loss and up to a 39% increase in fullness.
Treatments are administered twice per week for 6 weeks and then once a week for the next 16 weeks. Once hair growth has been observed, periodic touch-ups may be needed to maintain the benefits of the treatment. Each treatment session takes approximately 30 minutes.
Laser light therapy with the Revage system is particularly suitable for women, as laser treatments work best when there are diffuse regions of thinning in the scalp, rather than completely bald areas – the pattern most commonly seen in female pattern hair loss. Since the laser light serves to thicken fine, miniaturized hair, it is particularly suitable in these thinning areas. The Revage system is able to penetrate down to the hair follicles and deliver a uniform field of energy in these areas.
Laser Type AlGaInP
Nanometer (wavelength) 670 nm
Output Power 4 mW
Number of Lasers 30 separate point sources
Total Output Power 120 mW
Classification Class IIIA in accordance with En 60825
Light Delivery Direct from laser source

Local McDonald's owner receives franchise's highest honor
Citizen Staff Reports 01/19/12
Local business owner Sue Durlak recently was named the 2011 recipient of the Ronald Award from the McDonald's Corporation. The honor is presented annually to a McDonald's franchisee for outstanding service to the McDonald's brand and local community. Given to only one percent of McDonald's owner/operators nationwide, the award is the highest honor a region can bestow upon a franchisee, as well as the rarest to receive during a franchisee's career.
Durlak owns and operates 10 McDonald's restaurants, nine of which are located in Henrico County. Durlak plays a leadership role on several boards and fundraising committees, including the executive boards of the McDonald's Family of Restaurants of Greater Richmond and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Richmond. Durlak is also the event chair for the charities' annual golf tournament and silent auction events and has raised over $1.4 million to-date. Her company, S.M. Durlak, Inc., also has provided sponsorships to local schools and programs.

I'm a bit shy but I want to be an a relationship. I've tried finding guys to date but they ALWAYS turn out to be one night stands. Even if I date them for a month or two. The longest was 4 and the minute we spend the night together he's gone or completely uninterested. I'm tired of this happening. I'm shy so approaching just anyone and asking them out is almost out of the question. Not because I'm lazy but biological response to the anxiety.
How can you tell a guy's intentions? Is it body language, discussion topics?
Most Helpful Guy
The biggest sign is trusting your gut. Look for signs of ingenuity. Look for the small things and gestures he does, it tells you MORE about a person than the $500 dollar purse he buys you. You wanna look for things that reveal his TRUE character, not the one that he's showing you to sway you into bed.
Here's some good advice I read from the web
"My personal test is to see what happens when you put a person into stressful situations: in crisis, a challenge, in conflict, with a big problem to solve, with an injustice in front of them, a temptation in front of them or an experience that would require self control, judgement and wisdom to handle well.
Sometimes the tiniest amount of stress can reveal someone's true character"
"The ways they evaluate other people can tell you a lot about someone. Do they start with how they take care of themselves? Or what they read, watch, and listen to? Or how about how they treat others? Vocabulary can tell you a lot about where a person's from, what they do, and what they're thinking. One of the more reliable ones for me is what stresses them out, and how they react to it. Or do they rely on superficial characteristics like race and stereotypes (stupid liberals or ignorant conservatives)? And how accurate are their evaluations? Do they make an immediate assumption and stick with it, no matter what new evidence is presented, or do they take their time and reserve judgement until they have more facts?"21|10|0
excelent. It is one of the possible ways to test a person, and it's effective too.
Though, on behalf of OP i'd like to equest more about how to get the right guy in the first place. Because we both know that even if she uses that to test guys, some areas will yield better results than others. What she asks for is both a way to thest the guy, and where to look to increase her chances of finding a good guy.
There it'd be a good idea to elaborate.

Browsing all articles tagged with Ocean.
The Death and Life of Schneider Wrack by Nate Crowley
Thursday, August 10, 2017
I first encountered the mad genius that is Nate Crowley via an article on Tor.com last year. In it, the author spoke of how the ocean inspired in him a sense of both wonder and dread; his morbid (and nightmare-inducing) fascination with this topic resonated with my own, and naturally I made a beeline for […]

I'm 17
I never really had a boyfriend
i haven't had my first kiss
I've never done anything
its like guys are afraid of me or something
***I'm not hideous either*** guys talk to me but not ones I'm interested in
Most Helpful Girl
I used to be like you except for the boyfriend part. I have had some boyfriends, but I wasn't kissed cause those relationships were online and on the phone. I am never ever doing long distance relationship again unless I have met the guy in person and I absolutely have to. Anyway, 6 months ago I had a crush on this total gorgeous, intelligent, gentleman, who also had a crush on me. We met at summer restaurant work, I was the new girl. We talked, he asked me out, I said yes (obviously), and its been 6 months. I think I will have to do some long distance with him for a while cause I recently applied for a volunteer program that will take me out of the province, miles and miles away from my sweetheart.
The point I am trying to make to you with my story is that, I was 17 too when this happened, just turned 18 now. I felt like something was wrong with me too sometimes, but then most of my friends haven't been kissed either and they are around the same age (trust me they are good-looking).
I can't tell you when you will get a boyfriend or when you will get kissed. All I can say is that, be confident, look at the guys you already have (guyfriends), flirt with them (there's nothing wrong with it), google and find out what men do when they want to show interest for a woman, search for those signals (your intuition is the best tool to be used when determining if a guy likes you or not, unless you cloud those feelings with thoughts of negativity). But most of all, please, I beg you, please be yourself. The guy will like you more cause you are not pretending to be someone you are not, and there is less work and more fun in being yourself. :)00|00|0
thanks this was very helpful,
WOW, thanks for the best answer! By the way, you didn't have to appear Anonymous for this question, lots of people ask similar questions. :)

When your Ford F-250 left the factory, it was destined for a driver who values American engineering in their automobile. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a brand you can trust built into each Ford, and know that only top quality replacement F-250 parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class compared to all the other vehicles in today's marketplace. Anyone who owns a Ford knows that when it comes to maintaining their vehicle only the highest quality replacement parts will do.
A brake system that works properly will ensure you can stop your car or truck when you want. That means your Ford F-250 brake lines or hoses cannot have any leaks or punctures in them. Hydraulic brake lines connect the brake calipers or wheel cylinders to the master cylinder on your car or truck. Every time you apply the brakes on your Ford F-250, the brake fluid gets sent directly to the parts that stop your vehicle. If there's a leak in a brake hose, then you should feel much less response from the brake pedal when you depress it.
When your Ford requires the best replacement Brake Line & Hose, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. Don't let a Brake Line & Hose repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the best repair parts. All the Ford F-250 Brake Line & Hose parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971, 1970, 1969, 1968, 1967, 1966, 1965, 1964, 1963, 1962, 1961, 1960, 1959, 1958, 1957, 1956, 1955, 1954, 1953.

That's most true in the front seats, where the standard sport seats are comfy for most, and the leather-and-microfiber Recaros are even better. Headroom is good, and leg room is too, though the shape of the center console area can impinge on the knees of taller drivers.
The console panel, where most of the car's cabin controls are located, is a bit of a love-hate situation; it's attractive and functional in its way, but it's also cluttered and not particularly modern-looking.
In the rear seats of the sedan and coupe, you'll find space enough for adults, but with a bit of a premium on knee room. Overall width is good for two adults, but tight for three. In the Sport Wagon, there's a bit more room for rear seat passengers, and easier access thanks to slightly longer rear doors, but it's still best-suited to two adults.
All three models offer rather good cargo space, with large trunks in the sedan and coupe, though the opening is somewhat small. The Sport Wagon fits even more gear in its extended tail, and the rear liftgate makes access easy.
Ride quality is very good thanks to the Magnetic Ride Control suspension system, and the big, powerful engine is surprisingly quiet around town. The available automatic transmission shifts smoothly in normal driving, enhancing the easy, quiet, relaxed feel of the CTS-V when time isn't of the essence.

Coupled with land erosion and the threat of climate change, one northern province has decided to start a massive tree-planting effort. They plan to plant a billion trees over the next four years, and are investing approximately $150m into the scheme.

Rice plans to launch strategic planning process
WILLMAR -- Rice Memorial Hospital is launching a new strategic planning process that will start Sept. 1 with a kick-off meeting for the hospital board, executive team and physician leaders.
Over the next several weeks, meetings and information-gathering will continue, focusing on the city-owned hospital's future and where its priorities should lie.
Mike Schramm, chief executive of Rice Hospital, went over the preliminary timeline with the hospital board of directors on Wednesday.
"I think you can expect it will be a solid, comprehensive planning process that you can feel comfortable with... We'll have some priorities and a road map for where we want to go," he said.
Rice Hospital has a current strategic plan that's reviewed at least once a year. It has been close to 10 years, however, since the plan has undergone any major revision or a complete overhaul. With the completion in 2006 of a $52 million hospital expansion and renovation, the hiring of Schramm this year as the new chief executive and the prospect of health care reform, Rice officials believe the time is right to redo the hospital's strategic plan.
The Wipfli consulting firm already has been hired to help with some of the data collection.
"Right now what we're doing is data-gathering," Schramm said.
The research is focusing in particular on Rice Hospital's market: the services it currently provides, its market share, demographic projections and demand for potential additional services, and specialties for which physicians might need to be recruited.
The local medical community will be involved to a far greater extent than any previous strategic planning.
Meetings, communication and possibly some type of survey will be carried out with local physicians, Schramm said. "That's going to be a key piece to the overall plan."
He said a schedule is still being put together on a series of meetings this fall with the hospital board, medical staff and hospital leaders and department heads.
The kick-off meeting on Sept. 1 will be a closed-door session. Under the Minnesota Open Meeting Law, boards of directors at publicly owned hospitals may go into closed session to discuss strategic planning issues.
"That initial board meeting will be an important one," Schramm said.
A second meeting will follow on Sept. 2 with the hospital's internal leaders and the Rice Health Foundation board.
Hospital officials haven't put a timeline on when a new strategic plan will be ready to be adopted. The process likely will take until the end of 2009, however, and could extend into next year.

Ninian Comper has been mentioned before on this blog because I am always attracted to Victorian stained glass and Sir John was perhaps the greatest exponent of Gothic Revival Victorian style in stained glass. I mention him again because it was delightful during the tour of Exeter Cathedral to be brought suddenly face to face with a full-scale window by Comper, this one commemorating the loss of HMS Exeter.
The details of the window can be read at the Cathedral's website. I wish I knew how to take better images of stained glass but I have to take comfort in the fact that it's a skill even professional photographers have trouble with. My snaps are above, for what they're worth. You can't see them from my photos but in the bottom right hand corner there is a small bunch of strawberries, nothing to do with HMS Exeter but a commemoration of Comper's father who, apparently, would hand out strawberries to children in the park - not, as our guide pointed out, behaviour that can be recommended today.

I am just curious, is anyone on here from Spiceworks? I am possibly looking to start a Spiceworks guild and would like to know if anyone is interested with helping me manage it.
12 Replies
May 25, 2010 at 12:44 UTC
There is a thread about a guild somewhere in spiceworks.. here it is.
IMO the spiceworks community is large but i think out of the users who play wow, there would not be enough to form a legit guild with a full raid group. If anything it would need to be either a PVP guild or a guild ment just for talking and socializing and the ocasional small raid. But GL none the less.
I think i saw something about a twink guild.. This i think would be our best option. As everyone would not be so inclined to Xfer their mains. But they can allways still get heriloom items and send to their twinks cross faction/server (u can do cross faction/server with those right?)
May 25, 2010 at 1:53 UTC
I'm not opposed to the idea of just having a Spiceworks guild that anyone can join but with some of the upper management being part of the Spiceworks community.
May 25, 2010 at 1:59 UTC
Now that however would be an excellent idea. I could see possabilites of the guild being a raiding guild full of peopel testing their own mods and UI's and getting support on their programming from the SW members. That does sound fairly interesting. But still, a guild like that sounds like you would want to be for end game I.E. level 80's.. this would require players to Xfer if they wanted in. Unless people have alts. but still allways a thing to think about.
May 25, 2010 at 2:08 UTC
Yeah that does sound good.
I was just putting the idea out there. If anyone is interested let me know..
May 25, 2010 at 3:07 UTC
As mentioned eleventybajillion times before...no time, no time, NO TIME! By now the majority of WoW players are pretty well set wherever they happen to be (for me, over 6 years on Dragonblight). With a full schedule running every night there just wouldn't be time for something on the side and I sure as hell ain't movin. That's the down side of having so many friggin servers. Some day we'll all be in some gigantic world blasting away crap with 27 million of our friends. But not now...
May 25, 2010 at 3:14 UTC
i cant wait till the human population reaches 100 billion... I can go for a car ride to my friends on Mars! and yes there will be a bridge by then! due to technology it will be about a 20 minute drive give or take depending on traffic.
May 25, 2010 at 3:15 UTC
and yes by the time im 80 (im 20 now) we will be at 100 billion dont quesiton logic on that.. its just what it will be.. cuz i said so
May 25, 2010 at 3:33 UTC

Come to Akama. We just had a merger with Drak'Thul so the population has increased a lot and there are a bunch of people looking for guilds.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

She is searching
for a reason
to believe…
Her body lies
still and prone on the
chipped yellow kitchen counter
A worn, blue washcloth
covers the wide mouth of an empty
Karo Syrup bottle where her head rests
Her grandmother's
hands massage green Prell
over her head and neck in lazy circles
Warm soapy
water flows into the sink
creating mini tornadoes twirling down the drain
She startles awake,
confused in the darkness of the present,
caught in a moment of rare childhood memories
-photo by Irina Kuzmina
Her rage, she feels
welling within the confines
of her mortal shell.
The child inside
throwing tantrums, demanding
her voice finally be heard.
Striking invisible
prison walls with bloody fists
seeking freedom to speak.
Her presence, before you
contained and calm, showing no
signs of such desperation.

Sir Stephen Bubb wonders what the Treasury was thinking with the Budget when it made the very sensible decision to cap tax allowances for the very rich but did not exempt Gift Aid and other charity donations from the cap.
The Budget means that the needs of the people charities try to serve will continue to grow, while the resources charities have from public sources will continue to diminish, says Dan Corry, chief executive of New Philanthropy Capital.
Charities must be trusted to protect data and use technology in the best way to support their donors and service users, says Dan Sutch, head of development research at the Nominet Trust.
Kirsty Kitchen, senior consultant at Amazon PR, explains how to use communications to prepare for, implement and cement charity mergers.

"Appontments debacle"
About: King George Hospital King George Hospital Ilford IG3 8YB
Posted by David Bland
Anything else?
I have been waiting for a hernia operation since Aug 2012. Originally booked for 13/2/13; it has now been cancelled 3 times. I have emailed and left a voicemail message with PALS about this and had no response. It's a complete shambles.
Response from King George Hospital 4 years ago
I'm so sorry to hear this. Occasionally we do have to reschedule an operation, perhaps because of staff sickness, the patient's condition or a clinical emergency. However, having your operation cancelled three times must be very worrying and inconvenient. I'm sorry you were not able to get through to PALS. Please call them again on 01708 435454 or email firstname.lastname@example.com and let me know if you experience any difficulties getting through.
Best wishes

We have some ideas for items to complete your rubber duck baby basket so that it makes a delightful presentation. Bath and baby skincare products with a signature toy or two are all it will take to put together an impressive homemade arrangement that will look as expensive and pretty as anything that an exclusive boutique could manufacture.
In the past, you got a yellow rubber ducky with an orange beak or you got nothing at all. Product lines have expanded over that limited style dramatically. You can now create a rubber duck baby gift basket based on specific hobbies, themes as well as colors. For instance, a Sesame Street rubber duck gift is a given for kids who learned the song while listening to Ernie's rubber ducky song in the tub about his love for his toy on the classic kids' television show but a biker might like his duckie to be wearing a bandana and looking tough and ready to rumble.
Yellow rubber duckies will never go out of style for the diaper set. For the older kids, you may want to explore some of the ducks that are based on children's hobbies and activities. There are baseball rubber duckies and other sports theme ducks for boys. And for the diva in your home, you may want to build your gift basket around Betty Boop or a glamorous purple duck that comes as a set draped in a matching feather boa.
Once you have chosen the best rubber duckie to use as the centerpiece for your basket, here are some ideas for additional items that will be a huge hit at the
duck baby shower.
- Rubber Ducky toothbrush holder
- Towels and washcloths with duck appliques
- Duck shaped baby bath soaps
- Baby shampoo and body wash in a duck shape container
- Duck print hooded bath robe
Those are just a few recommendations for a baby's gift basket. As
rubber ducks
are popular with boys, girls as well as adult men and women, we will continue our series devoted to making suggestions for cool gifts for the rubber ducky lover in your life on a regular basis. I can think of no better way to keep up with the innovations in this product line, so stay tuned for updates.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Unquestionably one of the most beloved and renowned entertainers in American culture, George M. Cohan (1878-1942) was a prolific actor, producer and composer, with over 500 songs to his credit (including such patriotic favorites as "You're a Grand Old Flag," "Over There" and "Yankee Doodle Dandy"). In 1913, his stage adaptation of Seven Keys to Baldpate became a Broadway hit and led to this early film version, in which he made one of his few screen appearances. His life was immortalized by James Cagney in the Oscar-winning musical Yankee Doodle Dandy, which was released the year he died.
Seven Keys to Baldpate has been remade several times over this years, including three different versions released by RKO (1929, '35 and '47) and as the all-star House of the Long Shadows in 1983, but often with the emphasis more on mystery and suspense than comedy. Cohan's co-stars include silent-era bombshell Anna Q. Nilsson and Hedda Hopper (billed under her real name, Elda Furry), who subsequently became one of Tinseltown's most popular - and most feared - gossip columnists. In 1950, two would be reunited, playing themselves in Billy Wilder's 1950 classic Sunset Boulevard.

Germany's coalition government agrees to ban fracking for shale gas indefinitely, after years of fractious talks over the issue, but environmental groups said the ban did not go far enough and vowed to fight the deal.
BERLIN, June 21 (Reuters) - Germany's coalition government agreed to ban fracking for shale gas indefinitely on Tuesday, after years of fractious talks over the issue, but environmental groups said the ban did not go far enough and vowed to fight the deal.
Test drilling will be allowed but only with the permission of the respective state government, officials said.
German industry is keen to keep the door open to fracking - which involves blasting chemicals and water into rocks to release trapped gas - arguing it could help lower energy costs, but opposition is strong in the country, where a powerful green lobby has warned about possible risks to drinking water.
If the law is approved by parliament, Germany will follow France, which has banned fracking, whereas Britain allows it subject to strict environmental and safety guidelines.
Germany was on the verge of a parliamentary vote on similar legislation to ban fracking a year ago, but the effort stalled amid disagreements between Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) and the left Social Democrats (SPD).
The two parties agreed on Tuesday to an indefinite ban, but the compromise legislation calls for the German parliament to reassess whether the decision is still valid in 2021, said Thomas Oppermann, who heads the SPD's parliamentary group.
CDU officials confirmed that a compromise had been reached.
Friends of the Earth Germany (BUND) criticised the proposal and said that by setting a date for a fresh look, the coalition had essentially agreed to allow fracking in five years.
"The coalition's agreement on a fracking permission law is hair-raising. The law must be stopped and replaced with a true fracking ban," Hubert Weiger, who heads the environmental group, said in a statement.
Both parties were due to debate the legislative proposal in caucus meetings on Tuesday.
Further details of the compromise legislation were not immediately available.
Current German law permits unconventional fracking, but virtually no drilling permits have been approved.

Bill Cagle | Jun. 22, 2016Further to Mr. Bob Masnyks opening statement: Millions of hydraulic fracturing operations have been conducted on a global basis successfully and safely since the inception of the technology. The inception of the technology was in 1948 by Stanolind Oil & Gas that eventually became Amoco and now BP. U.S. Patents were filed and issued in 1952. As Mr. Masnyk states, millions of hydraulic fracturing operations have been conducted on a global basis in the almost 70 year history of hydraulic fracturing. The difference between then and now is that we are now drilling long horizontal holes in the shales and performing multiple hydraulic fracturing operations in the same wellbore. The environmental claims of shallow freshwater contamination are much ado about nothing - they have picked out the wrong rabbit to chase. The hydraulic fracturing is usually several miles away underground far below the freshwater drinking formations. In addition to being far underground, the freshwater bearing formations are separated from the hydraulically fractured formations by several strings of steel casing all cemented and tested to preclude any leakage. Multiple failures of steel and cement would be required for there to be freshwater formation contamination from deep hydraulically fractured formations. If hydraulic fracturing is banned, then all of the shale horizontal drilling ceases because hydraulic fracturing is required to produce oil and gas from these low permeability formations. And say goodbye to U.S. energy independence and hello to increased oil imports from unfriendly countries!
Bob Masnyk | Jun. 21, 2016Millions of hydraulic fracturing operations have been conducted on a global basis successfully and safely since the inception of the technology. Like any technology there is the potential to abuse the use of force to maximize profits power usually motivated by greed. It is possible to be gentle using growth propagation models and minimize negative impacts on the environment caused by fracking. Environmentalists need to wake up and gain some insight to the ever increasing demands for energy and will have to conclude that renewable energy sources will not replace hydrocarbon based products such as plastics, of which undoubtedly everyone owns personal possessions or packaging, etc. and jet fuel to power air transport any time soon. I am sure that the greenest of these environmentalists use petroleum energy and hydrocarbons on occasion. I am sure they want to sound educated and most certainly wants to stop burning coal to generate electricity, after all the solar people have to realize that the sun does not shine every day or wind does not blow everyday for your breezy types. Make sure you saddle up your horse and buggy next time you attend on of these green conventions. Not likely. Natural shale gas is a very clean and abundant energy source that absolutely requires fracking to economically exploit the geologic formations it is trapped in. At the end of the day, you don't want to be hypocritical like celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, who advocates clean air and global warming resulting from greenhouse gas emissions, as a UN ambassador, but personally uses more petroleum energy than many small towns and cities to fuel his empire. Greenhouse gases are also generated from feed lots for you steak lovers Maybe everyone should stop eating meat and other methane producing food sources. Think about it before rejecting a clean abundant energy source that is needed to grow world economies.
A Jones | Jun. 21, 2016Another case of politically motivated Greens trying to take charge when clearly they do not understand the process of hydraulic fracturing. We are foolish to allow them to stagnate many economies in the name of saving the planet when they are actually about to ruin the lives of many by keeping us in the dark and cold. Germany has astronomical energy costs due to the Green lobbyists who advocate renewables at the expense of the poor who cannot afford to keep warm. Great if you can afford fur coat and knickers.

"Thankful for the help."
About: Darent Valley Hospital Darent Valley Hospital Dartford DA2 8DA
Posted by Anonymous
What I liked
Our little girl was brought to the hospital with a pulled elbow following an accident at school. We brought her to A&E and the paediatric triage nurse on duty, quickly recognised this and fixed it.
This is the second time it has happened to us(first case of pulled elbow was about 2 years ago), and deep inside when it happened the second time, I was hoping and praying that we might see the same nurse again. And we were overjoyed when we saw them again the second time. True to form, they sorted her out again this time.
The nurse is an asset to the hospital and we are extremely grateful to them for the help we've received.

Asami Sato is a smart, and understanding individual, and one of the inventive minds behind Republic City's many modern achievements (including the automobiles, and the variety of mecha suits).
Book Five: Memory
Asami Sato had gone through a period of rough time soon after the battle with Kuvira, since her father's sacrifice during the frey. While still slightly lorn over it, she no longer felt such a strong depression as before, and continued onward to the future with her various inventive attributes.
During this, she had created a type of new hummingbird suit, that was supposed to be much faster than the previous models, and got the group together in order to show them a test run, her being the pilot. Unfortunately, the hummingbird suit, due to its more lightweight build, became a failed run once it crashed, Asami ejecting herself just beforehand. Asami Sato was a bit bummed out that the new suit wasn't much of a success, but the others gave their support to her, and she, along with Korra, went back to the shop to continue their work. Back at the shop, Korra told her about her situation with Ziyou from the night earlier, Asami assuring her that it'll be alright. In fact, she decided to go with her to make things a bit easier on her.
With her moral support, Asami stayed with Korra throughout the whole thing, keeping her moral support as she and Korra met back up with Ziyou again.
Some time went by for her until she was told by Ikki about Korra's trip, to which Asami happily went with Korra for the trip, along with the rest of Team Avatar. The trip itself was uneventful throughout the whole time, until Ikki finally caught up with them just before travelling over the North Sea. After hearing her explanation for finding them, and with some prompting, it was Asami who answered for the rest, agreeing for Ikki to stay with them on the trip.
While on the trip to the North Pole, Asami and Korra both went off to bed, Asami going into Korra's room to talk. Asami was told about Korra's thoughts on the trip thus far. Asami agreed with Korra, saying it was great to be off on an adventure again. When Korra thanked her for coming, Asami assured her that she'll always be there if she needed anything, letting Korra rest her head on her shoulder. Their moment was broken though when Ziyou showed up, claiming that she was gonna tell the others about it, but Asami stopped her, and got her to be quiet about it.
The group soon arrived in Jang Hui, where Asami had her first encounter with one of the Qishi, a Flower Squid. However, she was sprayed at with the flower squid ink, soon falling under the ink's harmful effects, forcing her to stay within the airship. The effects had caused her stomach to inflame and bloat, making her crippled down until the effects had passed. When the others found out, she tried to assure them that she'd be okay, but the pain was proving that fact hard to believe. She was soon moved to Desna and Eska's room, their room having a more comfortable bed for Asami to rest and recover.
Asami Sato remained inside the airship as they arrived in Fire Fountain City, and was escorted out of bed when Korra returned drunk in order to stop Korra from demanding for her. Eventually, she ended up falling asleep with Korra.
The next day, her recovery had gone to the point where she could walk again. When they arrived in the next town, Asami joined them in going to the Phoenix Inn, and barely survived the attack by the Blimpus.
Soon after their ship had crashed, Asami was helped through the hike by Korra until they found their way to Sekitan, where Asami and the others went to in order to figure out how to get to the capital. While there, she met Hotaru, whom Asami spoke to for a while, and got help to reach the capital. During the drive through inside the armoured truck, they were attacked by another group of Blimpus. In an act of desperation, Asami took the wheel, and gave the orders to aid in their escape, which turned out successful.
After arriving at the Fire Nation Capital, Asami went along with her friends to the Spirit World, where they got help from Chi to figure out how to handle El Niño. After figuring it out, she returned and helped finish off El Niño during the final chase.
Book Six: Shadow
Voronon Hunting
After returning to Republic City, Asami continued with her work, soon getting her apprentice, Hotaru, and working on a project for a new aircraft. During one of the test runs, she was visited by Ziyou, and, after some talk, got her to help make a delivery for her of the aircraft plans to Varrick. While working on it though, she heard of the events back at Kuvira's prison, and went right to Lin Beifong's police station to help out. While there, she agreed to go with Korra and Jinora to the Spirit Library. While at the Spirit Library, she was found by Clivuuk, one of the Voronon. During the fight, Asami was kept in protection while her friends were being attacked. However, Asami tricked Clivuuk into nearly killing itself by falling off the bridge in a suicide attempt. She was saved later by Wan Shi Tong, and proved herself worthy enough to gain the information they needed. She was shown the Voronon statues within the library, and was told of what they were and how to defeat them before being sent off.
After figuring everything out, the team went off on Asami's new airship. While going through, Asami and the others saw Gronihag, which Asami somehow knew the name of after getting a migraine upon seeing it. As the others went down, she, Bolin and Mako remained on the airship. Eventually, Asami couldn't stand by anymore, and quickly got to work on making a self-made bow and arrow from the items she had on the ship, and shooting it through Gronihag's eye, blinding it. After that encounter, Asami Sato continued traveling with the others until they came across Yiplov at the Serpent's Pass. When they searched a cargo ship of which all members were killed, Asami went with Korra in order to search the inside. While there, Asami sensed Yiplov and soon found it within the cargo hold. While the fight between Yiplov and the others occurred, Asami was starting to get a very deep migraine, images and information going through her head during the whole affair.
Splitting up
Asami's migraine lasted for a few more days, until she became well enough to go back to the others again. Asami soon explained the idea that they should split up instead of staying together, giving them a strong plan and good explanations as to why. Asami decided to go by herself in Si Wong Desert, knowing the Voronon wouldn't attack her, and was dropped off at Si Wong Rock, being given a goodbye from Korra herself. While searching through the desert, she came across Kuvira, and soon they both teamed up to find the Voronon. That night, Asami learned of Kuvira being abandoned when she was a baby and told her that her situation was better than her own, reminding herself that her parents were both dead. Later on, Asami and Kuvira discovered the dying Awadil. She and Kuvira were given a ride back to the Misty Palms Oasis. Asami tried calling the others back but realized the radio had been tampered with, so she and Kuvira headed back to the Oasis.
After sometime at the Oasis with Kuvira, Asami got the radio fixed and called in with the team. Only then did Asami found out that Korra and Ziyou were being taken to the hospital, and they both went right to Ba Sing Se in order to see the two. While the others were doing their own thing, Asami remained at the hospital, believing that their current state was her own fault. She tried to remain calm, and when Korra and Ziyou found out about the Voronon Liunovvix in the Ba Sing Se press, Asami assured them both that they would soon be out and that she didn't want anything bad happening to either of them. However, Asami found out later on that the two had gotten out and tried her best to help them fight Liunovvix.
After leaving Ba Sing Se, she and the others arrived at the Shadow Palace along the eastern coast of the Earth Kingdom. Upon getting inside the grand palace, though, she and Kuvira started to have their migraines again, and as such, she rested nearby Umbra's crypt. While there, she became affected by Umbra's curse, regaining the knowledge about the Shadow Nation but losing the rest of her memory. As a result, she called upon Toroon and sent it after the others. During the fight though, Asami and Kuvira were frozen in place. When she did, Jinora had to pull the black smoke out of her, a process that nearly killed her but regained her original memory back. After that, it was then that Ziyou found out that she was of Shadow Nation blood.
Sometime later, Asami was actually avoided for a while by the others, alongside Kuvira. One morning, she confronted Korra about it, who confessed that she was scared of losing her. Asami assured her that she wouldn't be permanently going away so long as Korra promised to do the same. Once they landed, Asami suggested for the others to stay, so the Voronon, Armophlli, won't immediately go in a crazed rage like the other Voronon had. After some debate, Asami went with Kuvira, Jinora, and Kai to Zorka's Observatory. Upon arrival and finding Armophlli, Asami immediately tried to convince it that Kai and Jinora were not dangerous and was successful. Afterwards, Asami ventured around the area, eventually receiving a vision of a much younger Armophlli, resting by Zorka. Afterwards, Asami discovered a herd of Sky Cow going through. In the end, Asami decided to spare Armophlli, since it wasn't harming anyone and had to protect the Sky Cows. Upon the decision, Asami left with the others back to the airship.
Asami Sato has a rather large IQ when it comes to the machinery, having a naturally inventive mind. With her own guidance, she helped Varrick create the hummingbird mecha suit to life, along with various plans for the city earlier than that. She has an understandable approach towards others, and a strong heart to her friends. She does care deeply for those she holds dear, and will try her best to help when she is able to.
