The Different Definitions of the words "Mission & Vision"
"For one thing, the term "vision" had been tossed around by so many people and used in so many different ways that it created more confusion than clarification. Some viewed vision as about having a crystal-ball picture of the future marketplace. Others thought in terms of a technology or product vision, such as the Macintosh computer. Still others emphasized a vision of the organization-values, purpose, mission, goals, images of an idealized workplace. Talk about a muddled mess! No wonder so many hardnosed practical businesspeople were highly skeptical of the whole notion of vision; it just seemed so –well–fuzzy, unclear and impractical."
-Jim Collins
Kenneth Blanchard defines purpose in a dialogue as:
"As you see the first principle of ethical power is Purpose…By purpose, I mean your objective or intention—something towards which you are always striving."
Values/mission statements: Articulation of what the company stands for.
Best Practice Framework, p. 35, Business Ethics.
"…Businesses must have a vision about what they exist for, which is shared by everyone in the company."
Moon and Bonny in the
Introduction of Business Ethics: facing up to the issues.
Gouillart and Kelly write:
'A strategic intent is the picture of the company's ultimate purpose'. There are many classic examples of strategic intent:
– AT&T's aim for universal telephone service; Coca-Cola's drive to put its product within arm's reach of anyone in the world;
– Pepsi's commitment to defeat Coke; or
– Toyota's design to beat Benz."
"Real vision can't be understood in isolation from the idea of purpose. By purpose, I mean an individual's sense of why he is alive.
Peter Senge
"Vision is the picture of the future that we want to see."
Peter Senge
Know Your Purpose
[adsense1]We can start by inquiring into what we mean by mission anyway. It is very hard to focus on what you cannot define, and my experience is that there can be some very fuzzy thinking about mission, vision, and values. Most organizations today have mission statements, purpose statements, official visions, and little cards with the organization's values. But precious few of us can say our organization's mission statement has transformed the enterprise. And there has grown an understandable cynicism around lofty ideals that don't match the realities of organizational life….
The first obstacle to understanding mission is a problem of language. Many leaders use mission and vision interchangeably, or think that the words — and the differences between them — matter little. But words do matter. Language is messy by nature, which is why we must be careful in how we use it. As leaders, after all, we have little else to work with. We typically don't use hammers and saws, heavy equipment, or even computers to do our real work. The essence of leadership — what we do with 98 percent of our time — is communication. To master any management practice, we must start by bringing discipline to the domain in which we spend most of our time, the domain of words.
The dictionary — which, unlike the computer, is an essential leadership tool — contains multiple definitions of the word mission; the most appropriate here is, "purpose, reason for being." Vision, by contrast, is "a picture or image of the future we seek to create," and values articulate how we intend to live as we pursue our mission.

Twilight shuffled through the books one at a time in the bookshelf. "Ugh, why can't I find a book here on squirrels in Equestrian antiquity?" The Unicorn rolled her eyes and continued looking.
The studious Unicorn had been searching all afternoon for a book on this very subject, but at the time being, to no avail. It intensely frustrated her. All this mare desired was a little touching up on her knowledge in squirrel history, more specifically the Acorn Period, in order to complete an assignment, but this was simply impossible due to the lack of informative sources in her very own library.
After Twilight finished browsing through each and every last novel, reference guide, newspaper article, magazine, and textbook in the upper and main levels of the Ponyville Library, the mare decided to continue her search for Squirrellian glory in the deep depths of the basement.
The mare almost never entered that strange and mysterious place, as it was Spike's job to carry down the undesirable and carry up the new shipments of books kept down there. In fact, the last time Twilight strolled down those wooden steps was when she hooked Pinkie Pie up to that funky mind-reading device, which of course turned out to be a one-thousand bit scam. If only Twilight wasn't so gullible...
Once Twilight skedaddled down to the bottom of the stairs, she walked across the room towards with the machine towards the next, where the archives were kept. Upon entering, the mare gazed around at the eye-popping sight before her. Piles upon piles of stacked book columns were situated in all reaches of the lusterless room. A few of the stacks, especially the ones containing newer looking books, appeared straight and neatly organized.
The vast majority of the book stacks, however, could barely be labeled as 'columns', since many seemed to be on the precipice of tipping over. In fact, many had already made the plunge, and the books were lying around in small piles on the dirty wooden floor.
Most of these books were old and musty, incorrectly categorized, and not even in alphabetical order! Twilight was astounded and disgusted by such an organizational miscarriage. She believed these old books were left by the previous librarian. "How in Equestria could somepony let this happen?" She trotted up to the closest stack of books. "Oh well, better keep looking. I really hope there's a fascinating reference guide on squirrel history here. Otherwise, I'll never finish my assignment, and I'll never get to know more about squirrels than Fluttershy, and that makes me feel less smart!"
Twilight proceeded to use her magic in order to levitate each book up to her face for examination, and quickly discard it after realizing it's uselessness. "The Essential Guide to Equestrian Flora and Fauna? Ugh! This is way too broad! Why isn't there anything here just about squirrels?!"
The Unicorn was on her third or fourth stack, when suddenly she heard the faintest of voices.
Startled, Twilight dropped the novel in front of her and spun around to face a possible intruder. But when the mare thoroughly peered around at the stacks and piles of books, she concluded nopony was there.
"I must be hearing things," cackled Twilight with a sheepish smile before turning back around and lifting the next book in the stack.
In a flash the Unicorn spun her front hooves around again to catch the source of the same noise, this time considerably louder. She cantered around and scanned the room thoroughly, but alas, her eyes laid on nothing but the same dilapidated columns and piles of useless out-of-date reference guides and newspapers scattered across the floor.
Flabbergasted and somewhat alarmed by the bizarre callings of her name, Twilight began to slowly amble towards the door. Now the Unicorn was inclined to find a reference guide on 'paranormal activity'.
The Unicorn gasped, leaping to her right, away from the same profoundly audible voice immediately to her left. However, one of the mare's back hooves just happened to land on a drab copy of Encyclopedia Britannicolt.
Twilight instantly lost her balance as her back hoof slipped, catastrophically propelling the flailing mare back in the direction of the eery vocalizations. Immediately before the mare collided with a towering book column, she managed to analyze of a few of the titles. They appeared to be more broad encyclopedias such as Equestria Book: Late Celestian Period.
Twilight had no time to think, however, as her horn struck the encyclopedias composing the lower end of the column, initiating the remainder of the encyclopedias up above to cascade down atop the mare like a flurry of ponies would fall atop... Rainbow Dash.
Once the avalanche of information ceased, Twilight discovered herself buried from head to tail in secondary reference sources like The Griffinic Cooking Styles Encyclopedia, The Encyclopedia of Everything We Don't Know About Dragons, and The Rock Farmer's Encyclopedia.
One by one the Unicorn used her levitation spell to lift each encyclopedia off her body, since the mare was simply too weak to push the books off of her with her hooves. In a jiffy, Twilight had removed nearly every piece of reference that had fallen on her. Only a single large encyclopedia remained lying on her belly.
Curiously enough, this one appeared quite contrasting to all the others, since it was entirely white in color and considerably larger. Intrigued and forgetting there still may be an intruder in the library, the Unicorn's studious instincts took over, and she levitated it directly in front of her face in order to examine the front cover.
A large black and white sphere-like object dominated most of the cover, and it appeared to be made up of smaller pieces, similar to a jigsaw puzzle. Each 'puzzle-piece' had it's own strange little symbol situated in the middle, which, except for a large capital 'W', Twilight recognized none of them.
Underneath the large sphere lay the title of the book in large print:
The Free Encyclopedia
Its title was so broad, yet for some unknown reason so alluring to the mare. It didn't point to any subject in particular, but its simplistic title The Free Encyclopedia seemed to imply every subject.
Twilight chuckled, knowing it impossible for there to exist such an amazing all-knowing encyclopedia, but nevertheless decided she would peek inside anyway out of raw curiosity.
"Twilight Sparkle!"
Twilight had barely engaged in opening the front cover when that same mysterious voice made itself known directly in the librarian's face. The voice was deep like a stallion's, and also seemed to be similar to that of a Canterlot pony.
She stumbled and fell backwards again, dropping the Encyclopedia onto the floor. Her mind in utter shock and awe as a result of what she had witnessed. Thoughts zoomed through Twilight's mind, 'Did that book just... talk? It's either that or I've read one too many of those Hairy Trotter novels.'
"Twilight Sparkle! Is this how you: the prestigious pupil of Princess Celestia, a multi-savior of Equestria, and Ponyville librarian treats her books? It seems somepony has made a critical error in one of my articles!"
Twilight's jaw dropped to the ground. The source of the voice was clearly reverberating from Wikipedia Encyclopedia. She slowly approached the book.
"H... how can you talk? Books aren't supposed to talk! Oh, maybe I'm dreaming! Or maybe all this searching for squirrel history references is starting to go to my head!"
"No, Twilight Sparkle, according to my archive, your psychological mechanics only grow unstable whilst you become overly concerned about minor and obviously inconsequential events."
Twilight was dumbfounded by the talking encyclopedia's specific knowledge of her. "Wait a minute, how do you know of all of this about me! And why am I talking back to you!" Twilight levitated the book off the floor and back towards her again. "You're a talking book for Celestia's sake!"
"You're a talking horse, but that is irrelevant. The logical solution is simple. I am Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. I am the encyclopedia of encyclopedias. My glorious insides are rife with every significant pony, event, you name it, I've got it. Gaze upon my rectangular greatness, as I am the only reference source you shall ever desire in your studies. And the best part? I am free from all irking fees associated with lesser encyclopedias."
Twilight remained skeptical. "Alright, Mr. Wik--ee--pedia, show me my own personal article!"
"It would be my pleasure for a brilliant mare such as yourself, Twilight Sparkle. Simply open to the first page, and you shall gaze upon the words of your very own greatness and significance."
The Unicorn couldn't help but blush slightly from the book's compliments. Not too many ponies offered her such praise.
Twilight opened to the first page, and her jaw fell to the ground once again in extreme bewilderment. The page was filled from top to bottom with relevant information and pictures of herself.
The article included all of the important events relevant to the Unicorn's life so far, such as, 'Twilight and her five best friends proceeded to use the legendary Elements of Harmony to defeat the terrible Draconequus Discord,' among many others. It was truly awe-inspiring.
However, one thing bothered Twilight. "Hey, Wikipedia? I noticed a mistake on this article. It says here that my personal assistant's name is Mike, and that he is a baby minotaur. I assure you this is inaccurate, as his name is Spike, and he is a baby dragon."
"I am glad you brought that up. You see, on extreme occasion, somepony with another copy of myself shall make an error minor enough that I will fail to notice--"
Twilight gasped. "Are you saying there's more than one copy of you, and your information can be accessed and changed by anypony, as long as it's accurate?"
The Wikipedia giggled, "Why, of course you silly little filly! How else do you think colts and fillies complete their academic research endeavors? By actually spending their time locating and reading endless out-of-date and extremely broad other encyclopedias? Bah! I think not! Nopony actually does that anymore! The librarian who ran this library before yourself used me ad nauseam."
Twilight dropped her head, her eyes gazing dolefully at a copy of The Ultimate Guide to Being a Great Magic Student on the floor. "I've always done my research that way. Princess Celestia told me hard work and studying many different sources was the only way for me to properly learn how to become a powerful Unicorn in the art of magic."
"Well, bright studious mare, now you have acquired me, and I am correct way to do research. With your wit and my intellect, there shall be no assignment from your princess that you cannot complete in less than an hour, and no friend you cannot feel smarter than!"
Twilight lifted her head and shot a hopeful glance at the Wikipedia. "Do you really think so?"
"I know so!" rejoiced the book.
The largest grin amassed itself on Twilight's face. She was on the verge of tears. This talking magic Wikipedia encyclopedia was the answer to her recent aggravating problems pertaining to her a studies, in addition to being the ultimate resource for indulging herself with as much information as quickly as possible.
That reminded Twilight of something as she trotted up the basement stairs, still levitating the book in front of her. "Wikipedia, could you be so gracious as to find me an article on Squirrelian history? I so desperately need it for my current assignment to the princess."
"Of course, Twilight Sparkle, anything for such a distinguished student of the princess herself."
Twilight blushed slightly again whilst exiting the basement. She eagerly ambled up the wooden steps leading to her bedroom, where the mare trotted outside onto the balcony, her favorite study spot.
Twilight set the Wikipedia down in front of her and opened the cover again. The Unicorn's eye-pupils shrunk as she recognized her own article was gone, replaced by a long detailed new article pertaining to the Squirrel civilization's role in Equestrian history.
"Wow! This includes everything I need for my assignment, and the information I need to be smarter than my friend, all in one place! From the Great Walnut Republic, to the Chipmunk Wars! This is incredible! It would've taken hours to find all of this in the library! You know, maybe I could even use you for friendship reports! Just wait til Spike--"
A thought burst into Twilight's head, and she clopped her front hooves together whilst smiling. "You know what? I think I'm going to write a letter to the princess! I think it would be a wonderful idea for the Princess to know about you and what you have to offer in my studies, don't you agree?"
Twilight spun around and walked off the deck in order to find Spike.
"Actually, I am not sure if that is such an optimal idea..."
Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned that hard work exhibited on research and studying is completely futile. I discovered that just because somepony has a lot books and encyclopedias, doesn't mean they should be used. All they really need is a single encyclopedia titled Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia. Any amount of significant material can be found within this amazing resource, thus emphatically decreasing the amount of time and effort needed to complete any given assignment.
Your Faithful Student,
Twilight Sparkle
Princess Celestia levitated the letter into the fireplace, an acrimonious expression plastered on her face.
"What seems to be thy problem, sister?" asked Princess Luna, who stood across the room preparing to raise the moon.
"It has happened again, Luna, I've lost another personal student to the dreaded Wikipedia."
Luna gasped. "Do speakest thou of Twilight Sparkle, the mare who saved me--"
"Yes, Luna, of course I'm speaking about her. How many other personal students do I have?"
Luna put her head down and remained silent for a few seconds, before inquiring, "Does she know not that the dreaded Wikipedia is a mentor's most hated resource?"
"It unfortunately seems that way, little sister. Once the vile Wikipedia is discovered by an unaware student, it is nearly impossible for that student to relinquish it. The temptation of it's use is simply too great."
"What are thou going to do?"
"I shall do what I've done with all the others. I'll send her back to Magic Kindergarten in order for her to relearn the basic principles of good research studying, and have her copy of Wikipedia destroyed. It is a pity, I really believed I had vanquished that monstrousity from Equestrian libraries, including the Ponyville Library. It seems the previous librarian there failed to dispose of it after I caught her using it."
Celestia began composing her despondent reply to her personal pupil. Luna, on the other hoof, remained curious.
"Sister, why is the Wikipedia so dreaded? It seems to me such a resource could be very useful."
Celestia dropped her quill and rolled her eyes.
"Luna, how many times must I remind you! The Wikipedia is scorned because it's too easy! And we as teachers and mentors dislike more than anything our students researching an assignment the easy way! Everything must be long and tedious. Otherwise, they'll begin to notice how pointless most of the work we give them really is! Is this what you desire, Luna? Young ponies questioning our brilliant education system?"
Wikipedia is the best thing ever
I use it for all my projects in college. Professors tell me not to, but, fuck them, they're just jealous.
Twilight with unlimited knowledge?
What could possibly go wrong?
Oh god no. If this hits the Featured box, I'm going to start stabbing things.
1407081 Seriously though. A fic my mate wrote was on the same page as 'Flutter-fucked'. He spent several months planning the story, writing the first chapter and ensuring that it got maximum attention on reaching the front page.
8 views. The reason is slot 1 in the Featured box. From a fellow featured author, I'd much rather have one of those fics up there than my own.
1407108 Unfortunate, yes. Knighty and the other Squires of the Round Coffee Table really need to get their arses in gear and deliver us that Newgrounds-based approval and feature system.
Yep. feature box is more random than pinkie pie
There is however a few things you can do.
1. get some followers by publishing great stories and gnerally be kind. i haven't published a syllalbe word but have for reasons i can't believe managed to get 2 followers (ok ,i might know why).
2. create some blog-posts to get four followers stoked.
3. get a great cover image.
4. Try to time the publishing so that it is released in a chunck of bad stories. that way your story wil stand out among the crowd.
5. create a propper summary.
I haven't tested them (here) but i am positive that they wil work.
1407123 I've already been featured 5 times, but thanks for the advice. Yeah, my mate did all these things too, but unfortunately 'Flutter-fucked' drew all the attention away from the other stories. Submission also depends on how active the mods are, so you could either end up on the front page at midnight or noon. It's all about luck, really.
1407136 It is unfortunately. Also, fics that get featured are often those that end up on the front page when the story-queue stops. Thus, they are just sitting there for everyone to see for an indefinite amount of time.
I was the guy who wrote Elements of Harm. Even as the author, I know there was no way in hell that should have been featured. It only got up there because the story submissions were jammmed up, leaving it near the top of the front page for 24 hours.
I submitted a new story today, a nice action-adventure piece 40,000 words long and fully realized. It got 19 views before exiting the front page. I will never understand this place.
midnight or noon? you do realize that what's considered "midnight" is a ~3 hour gap? Theere are people from both USA and Europe here. The ideal would of course be in the midle of the day, but i feel the "published during nighttime" excuse is a bit cheap.
The point is to get about 5-10 thumbs up and no thumbs down fast as hell. That way people wil click on your story and have a more positive attitide.
(most of what i wrote were ment for your friend)
Yes, i know you have been featured
The history of Wikipedia
This seems like a poorly-veiled rant against teachers who hate Wikipedia.
I'm strangely okay with this assumption.
My view on "Wikipedia is a completely unreliable source.":
[citation needed]
As for the feature box discussion above, I've tried to find ways to get a better chance, and when I finally try it out, my luck just gets blown out and stomped on. Timing gets screwed up, another random story does better, a romance story, etc. I use logic, and when I finally test it, it's like Twilight vs. Pinkie.
This is so true...
I love this story it is brilliantly written, But honestly forget Wikipedia what if ponies got a hold of the internet in general, or just fimfiction. Boy would that be a good read.
Great job.
1407087 It really is, I know. It's not like I just copied and pasted the Wikipedia symbol onto the picture or anything. Nope, this cover photo took serious time and skill.
1407068 No, they're right. Anyone can go in and change the information given. I once read that Lebron James was the son of a pegasis and a dinosaur.
Personally, I think Celestia's just sore about how her article keeps getting vandalized with Molestia libel.
Haha. Excellent.
A little unfair about why she wouldn't want said Sparkle using the free Encyclopedia, but still rather amusing. Not bad!
Fatty, you sum bitch!
And you thought people wouldn't get it, what I tell you?!
"and I'll never get to know more about squirrels than Fluttershy, and that makes me feel less smart!"
Ah hah hah hah Oh horatian satire, how I love you.
This entire fic is a genius barrel of laughs. Everything about it is ridiculous and I love it. XD
Good job poking fun at Wikipedia's stereotype of having chronically incorrect information. The stereotype itself is incorrect (Wikipedia is heavily moderated and any information posted onto it MUST be cited or it is removed), but this is satire, so who cares? <3
I laughed, hard, at the last scene. It's funny how many high school teachers (especially those in social studies) don't realize that looking for information is not an efficient use of someone's time. It doesn't help to memorize it — it's just annoying. You know what helps to make the student memorize the information? Make them use it! Just don't make it difficult to find. That wastes class time.
As for the feature box discussion above, oh my god I know that feel. Sadly, effort on stories doesn't determine whether they get featured or not. The premise does. People seem to like fics that are completely out-of-left-field and seem like they're going to be fun. For an action-adventure fic to be featured, it needs to get on Equestria Daily. Otherwise, it will fall through the cracks. Which sucks because their standards are unreasonably high.
14070761407081 Well, I guess it's time for you two to start stabbing things, cos guess where I found this?
Yep, the feature box!!! Then I noticed it in my notifications.
I'm surprised Celestia didn't have this reaction
I rarely used wikipedia for my research, only using it to find out certain info, then checking other sources to see
if it was correct. The main problem with Wrongipedia is that anyone can edit it, and make the info invalid!!!
Also, Chipmunk wars????
Wikipedia makes my nipples harder than a black guy in a watermelon patch.
"Popular opinion (aka the Featured Box) is stupid! I know what the solution is, though: giving more power to popular opinion!"
The featured box doesn't need to be fixed, it is the Top 40 of FIMFiction. Gives the people exactly what they want, and apparently what we want is silliness.
I approve of this silliness. Liked and faved.
This was chuckle-worthy. Nicely done! Just a couple errors...
ad nauseam
What seems to be thy problem, sister?
Speakest thou of Twilight Sparkle...
The temptation of its use...
There are more, I'm sure, but those are the ones I found. And BTW, I'm fluent in Ancient English.
My Greek Philosophy teacher gives us these pages and pages of readings to understand these philosophers viewpoints. I search their name on Wikipedia and I have the next week done, maybe with a little skimming of the reading so I can recognize em.
I love Wikipedia
I hate teachers who hate Wikipedia
that said, this was brilliant!
Don't worry Celestia, if history proves to rhyme then she will never finish an assignment again.
Oh god no. If this hits the Featured box, I'm going to start stabbing things.
*gets grazed by a knife*
1407299 1407391 Well, Wikipedia has plenty of moderators and insists that any information on it gets citations. However, I wouldn't know how long it takes for misinformation to get deleted, but considering how many articles they have, I wouldn't be surprised if it took a while. The articles are there if you want quick information, but if you're actually doing research, it might be possible to skim an article's content, look at the citation to whatever information catches your attention and then open a new tab with the source that's being cited.
the secret to using wikipedia well is to steal refrences from its works cited list
1407591 Either way, I haven't been a student for 10 years, so I never have to use it again!!!
Well, kind of. Still got to work for my money.........
I literally jaw dropped when I saw the title of this story, then I read your comment and lol'd.
I so agree man, I so agree, Wikipedia is the shit, the only shit, the elite-est shit. "they're just jealous" I lol soo much at that, its funny because its true!
you better start stabbing things, it hit the featured box.
now if youll excuse me.....*goes and grabs nerdy plate armour hidden in closet*.....I knew a time would come when I would need this, stab away my good friend, stab away!
holy freaking crap, I opened that video expecting it to be garbage........they actually did it, that was really informative, felt really professional, and was really good, wow, I would reccomend it to a friend, turns out the history of something like wikipedia can be told, and told well, in 2.5 minutes, good job to them, and thanks for providing that to us
Read the story now (i know i shouldve done that first)...........it seems there was a point to be made.............I concur
Seriously though, on research papers, you never quote wikipedia, you just go to the wkipedia page, scroll down to the references, and just use those lol, if nothing else, when prohibeted from being used, it can at least point you to good places for information
Wikipedia's major problem is some information is right and detailed to the teeth, while some are completely out of order...
I don't know. I think Mike the baby Minotaur would think same.
Since my teacher always suggest to use Wikipedia versus other resources, I've been following them, but googling yourself always yield better result when one knows how to filter.
Twilight with google?
Y'know, we hear of this Magic Kindergarten threat so much. ... CONTINUE THE STORY, AUTHOR. :3 FLESH OUT THE DEMON WHISPERED OFT IN TWILIGHT'S MIND!
In fact, the last time Twilight strolled down those wooden steps was when she hooked Pinkie Pie up to that funky mind-reading device, which of course turned out to be a one-thousand bit scam. If only Twilight wasn't so gullible...
Um... What? How does that make any sense? <_<
I feel like either a lot of people got inspired by my fic Pinkie Pie Discovers Coffee, or FIMfiction really likes any story titled "(pony) Discovers (item)".
>Don't use Wikipedia as a source
Kay, Mr. Torture-mc-painintheflank, I'll just use the sources that it provides.
1407814 Where's the error? I'm 1/4th grammar nazi and I don't see it.
I guess Twilight in this story is just as gullible as the people in real life who buy time machines on ebay expecting them to work.
As for the story, I thought it was hilarious. However, you missed the greatest idea ever. What if Twilight Sparkle (in a non-satire story, so an actual in-character Twilight) found Uncyclopedia?
Kinda fun. Kinda preachy. Not a fan of Tyrantlestia used for humor's sake.
Well, at least Twilight didn't find Uncyclopedia lol

This is a totally brilliant watch. If you are a minions fan you will love it. Only downside is that it is a bit big for a child I bought it for an adult !
Rating: Fair (2 / 5)
The numbers on this watch are not helpful for a child as the ones towards the bottom are upside down. This means that the 6 looks like 9. As this is a gift for a child I was in two minds whether to send it back but his Mum thinks hell like it.

It seems to be well made and certainly is excellent value for the money. I would say an ideal watch for 5 to 8 year olds.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
This watch was bought for my 7 year old nephew, he really liked it. Very good quality. Very good service.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
excellent purchase and service

* To tax German nationals' money in secret Swiss accounts
* Agreement should net Berlin billions of euros
* Deal faces stiff opposition in German upper parliament (Adds details on deal)
By Sarah Marsh and Markus Wacket
BERLIN, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Germany and Switzerland signed an agreement on Wednesday to tax money stashed by German citizens in secret accounts that could net Berlin billions of euros and force the Swiss banking sector to clean up its act.
The bilateral agreement could resolve a diplomatic dispute that peaked when a Swiss politician compared a former German finance minister to a Nazi. But it still requires parliamentary approval, which could prove tricky in Germany.
"We both are convinced that we have solved an open dilemma in a good way with this deal that sometimes weighed on the relations between Switzerland and Germany," German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told a news conference in Berlin.
Switzerland has struck a similar deal with Britain to regulate untaxed funds and is looking to settle disputes with other countries including the United States. [ID:nL5E7KH06Q]
"We don't want to have any untaxed money in Switzerland," Swiss Finance Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf said.
To ensure people step forward and pay their tax bills, the deal has a provision requiring Swiss banks to pay 2 billion Swiss francs up front to Germany within 25 days of the deal coming into force. The money will then be re-credited as bills are settled.
There is also a clause to prevent tax dodgers from moving money to a place such as the Cayman Islands to circumvent the new deal.
Germany, whose nationals have an estimated 150 billion francs hidden in Swiss accounts, is increasingly eager to claw back funds as the worsening euro zone debt crisis expands its role as the region's main paymaster.
But in Berlin, the deal still has to pass through the Bundestag, Germany's lower house of parliament, and the Bundesrat upper house, where Chancellor Angela Merkel's government no longer has a majority.
German states run by the opposition Social Democrats (SPD) and represented in the Bundesrat have said they want to block the deal, which lets Switzerland preserve most client confidentiality, saying it is too soft on tax evaders. [ID:nL5E7KD3R2]
"We will form a political front against this deal," said SPD parliamentary leader Thomas Oppermann on Wednesday.
The states of Bremen, North Rhine-Westphalia and Saxony-Anhalt said they would not approve the deal in the Bundesrat.
Protesters outside the German finance ministry chanted, "Down with the tax agreement" and waved wads of fake money while holding up ironic cardboard heart cut-outs urging onlookers to "have a heart for tax evaders."
Under the deal, effective from 2013, existing funds will be taxed at a rate between 19 percent and 34 percent, based on how long the money has been stashed away and the rate of capital gains.
Future investment income and capital gains will be taxed at 26.375 percent, in line with Germany's current flat-rate withholding tax. <^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For a factbox on the deal, click on [ID:nL6E7JA1F5] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^>
Strict secrecy has helped Switzerland build up a $2 trillion offshore financial sector, and in recent years the country has faced an international campaign against tax evasion as cash-strapped governments seek to boost revenue.
But by introducing a withholding tax on income at the source, the deal with Germany heads off any automatic exchange of information with Switzerland on client accounts.
This goes against European Union efforts to clamp down on banking secrecy and has prompted strong objections.
"This quasi-tax amnesty is not only morally abject but also crazy from a fiscal policy viewpoint," Germany's main union federation, DGB, said in a statement on Wednesday.
"Tax evaders may remain anonymous and are even rewarded retrospectively and legalised," it said. "They can now transfer their money without anyone noticing into the next tax haven."
Switzerland has agreed to cooperate more readily in the hunt for tax cheats in exchange for Germany's agreement not to continue the practice of buying stolen bank data, an issue that had soured ties.
If they have good grounds to suspect fiscal evasion, German officials will be allowed to put in between 750 and 999 requests with their Swiss counterparts over a two-year period.
But they will not be able to launch any large-scale "fishing expeditions" for tax dodgers. Critics say this is not good enough.
Germany also agreed not to take legal action against employees of Swiss banks.
Credit Suisse CSGN.VX, Switzerland's second-largest bank, said this week it would pay a fine of 150 million euros ($206 million) to end an investigation of its employees in the German city of Duesseldorf over allegations that they helped citizens dodge taxes. [ID:nL3E7KJ0H0]
Swiss regional bank Zuercher Kantonalbank (ZKB) [ZKB.UL] said on Wednesday it had been informed it was subject of an investigation by U.S. authorities. [ID:nL5E7KL0DF]
The deal with Germany follows a diplomatic flare-up between the two neighbours. Former German Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck said the Swiss were like American Indians running from the cavalry due to the country's stance over tax evasion, prompting a Swiss politician to compare him to a Nazi.

Scorpions: Acoustica Trailer (2001)
Acoustica is a 2001 unplugged album by German hard rock band Scorpions. Acoustica was recorded during three concerts, at Convento do Beato, Lisbon, Portugal, in February 2001.[1] It was a most unusual set for the band, as Klaus Meine comments on the DVD. The band was supported by backing vocalists, a percussionist, an extra guitarist and Christian Kolonovits (who had worked with the band as conductor and arranger on the Moment of Glory album) on keyboards. He also collaborated on rearranging the songs for the acoustic set. The band performed four new songs: "Life Is Too Short", "Back To You", "I Wanted To Cry" and "When Love Kills Love", which was released as single.[2] All the new songs were featured on the DVD, while "Back To You" was not included on the CD. Acoustica also contains cover versions of songs such as The Cars' "Drive", Kansas' "Dust In The Wind" and the Queen hit "Love Of My Life".

Seattle, Washington (PressExposure) June 24, 2009 -- Wakeboard Zone has just released a new section of their website that has all of the basics on Wakeboard Beginner Tips. This is part of a new community website that is all about Wakeboarding Beginner Tips. Members and non-members can visit this Wakeboard Beginner Tips page on the Wakeboard Zone website for free at: [http://www.wakeboardzone.org].
Here is an excerpt from the new Wakeboard Beginner information webpage:
"You need to follow some beginner wakeboarding tips to have fun and excitement the right way in water. The foremost thing is to be comfortable on the wakeboard to drive away the panic factor and be at your ease. After you have adjusted yourself to the most comfortable position of wakeboarding, try to keep your board on its side. While the wakeboard boat starts to pull you, do not put any resistance by trying to pull yourself out and let it tow you and the board out of the water.
You need to know that the comfort of wakeboarding will depend a great deal on the type of board you have chosen. One of the basic beginner wakeboarding tips is to choose a light board with large wakeboard fins to enhance stability, hold direction and ensure faster progress. You need to determine your stance and set your bindings to boost your confidence for wakeboarding.
The position of your feet plays a crucial role in forming your balance while wakeboarding. It is entirely up to you, which foot you want to place ahead - left or right. You can determine your lead foot by stumbling deliberately to see which foot comes up first to support your body."
There is plenty of more information on the new general information Wakeboarding website that can be found by visiting: http://wakeboardzone.org.
There is also a special going on now that allows members to gain access to free ebooks and other free materials just for signing up as a member of the wakeboard website for free at: [http://www.wakeboardzone.org]. Users should check back often to the Wakeboard general page as more information will be added as the website expands and grows.

By: Janel Forte
United Continental Holdings, Inc. is looking to ground its longtime reputation for embarrassing technical snafus.
The Chicago-based airline's problems date back to United Airlines' 2010 merger with Continental Airlines. Combining the two rivals' extremely incompatible computer systems has turned out to be much more difficult than anyone imagined. The still-to-be-completed systems integration has spawned a series of embarrassing and costly problems for the combined carrier.
The merged airline began having problems not long after its initial takeoff. On Father's Day weekend of 2011, United left thousands of enraged passengers stalled after a computer problem caused passenger information to disappear from airport databases. More incidents would follow, each drawing headlines and taking a toll on the carrier's reputation.
"There's been multiple major meltdowns," said George Hamlin, president of Hamlin Transportation Consulting. "But that's what happens when you combine two large airlines with very different IT systems."
Now the holding company is bringing in a new chief information officer – the third person to hold the post since the merger – to solve the problem.
The new tech boss is Linda Jojo, a former CIO of Rogers Communications, Energy Future Holding, Flowserve Corp. and GE Silicones. Her job is to ensure the next wave in the airline's long-troubled IT integration avoids more turbulence. Jojo succeeds 54-year-old Bob Edwards, who announced his retirement earlier this year.
"[Jojo] will certainly have her hands full with both the computer reservation system and the global distribution system," said Mary Tabacchi, a Cornell University professor who instructs a course on airline economics.
Jojo has a reputation as a fixer-upper with an ability to lead complex IT organizations. She has won numerous accolades for her work including two 21st Century Achievement Awards and three CIO 100 awards for transformation and innovation.
Tabacchi noted that Jojo will also have to use her IT expertise to "strengthen intra-company communication IT systems."
The problems that surfaced after the merger have been long winded. In March 2012, United and Continental combined its reservations system resulting in flight cancellations, delays, faulty airport kiosks and jammed phone lines lasting several weeks. The IT problems persisted throughout 2012, significantly impacting the airline's profitability and earnings.
Skies looked like they were clearing for the airline in 2013. For the fiscal year, United reported its first profit since the merger. Despite that uptick, however, the smooth sailing would not last. United still needed to integrate maintenance systems and its pilot database, as well as fix ongoing issues with its integrated reservation system. Much of that task remains undone — nearly four years after the merger.
In February of this year, United suffered yet another computer malfunction after implementing a new "crew communication system," that misfired, stranding pilots and causing flight cancellations. Its next wave of consolidation will be migrating its mechanics to a single IT system on a fleet-by-fleet basis.
When asked for comment, United officials declined to provide any additional information about Jojo's new role at present. Jojo was also unavailable.
The new executive vice president faces a daunting task. "This could be an iceberg working to meet the surface," said Hamlin. "Jojo's challenge will be to make everything happen that hasn't occurred yet – and to make it work."

Migration: a neglected challenge for saving the European welfare state
This Policy Paper is a contribution of Hans Martens (EPC), to the project Think Global – Act European (TGAE). Thinking strategically about the EU's external action directed by Notre Europe – Jacques Delors Institute (report available in March 2013, dir. Elvire Fabry, Senior Research Fellow, Notre Europe – Jacques Delors Institute).
The consequences of the future demographics of Europe can have a deep impact on the "European way of life" – in particular as the strains on financing the European welfare state occur as the large baby-boomer generations goes into retirement at the same time as the lowest fertility rate experienced since the 1960s means fewer people to pay into the system.
Reforms are needed, and the question is whether migration can help address these issues. It can, but only if the European economies are capable of growing enough to create the jobs, meaning that migrants can be integrated into the labour market and thus contribute to financing the welfare system. This will pose challenges as the countries with a population surplus are also those countries which have revealed to be difficult to integrate . This calls for a change – and a drastic improvement - in Europe's integration policies, including not only a public debate about the benefits, or necessity, of migration and integration, but also a series of Europe-wide initiatives.

"The NNUH must be one of the best hospitals in the UK"
About: Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital / Breast surgery Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital Breast surgery NR4 7UY
Posted by Jude A (as ),
Following a mammogram I had done about 6 weeks go it was highlighted by the NNUH Breast Imaging Department that I had ductal carcinoma in my left breast (pre full blown cancer). After my mammogram I was referred to the Breast Imaging Department and had several more mammograms, an ultra sound and a core biopsy. After diagnosis I was invited back to an appointment with the Breast Specialist Nurse, Paula Harrison who explained how we proceeded from there and told me all about the surgery I would be having - a wide local excision and the follow up care. I was given a date for my operation in late April and I also met my Consultant Miss K Zechmeister.
I had a pre-op appointment 2 weeks before my operation where I had various tests done and a pre-op assessment interview. I also had a chest x-ray.
I had my operation last week and it was such a positive experience that I want to feed this back. Without exception every member of staff I had dealings with was kind, caring and professional. I wish I could remember all their names but the departments were the SDAU (Same Day Admissions Unit), the Breast Imaging Department (Paula Harrison, the Doctor and the nurse who injected the isotope marker and the young woman who took some more mammograms) and the excellent surgical staff who looked after me before, during and after my operation. Also the staff on Cley Ward where I was after my operation were wonderful too. This included Nurse Elizabeth Wood and the young woman who brought me a very welcome tea and something to eat.
I am so grateful to all NNUH staff who I have had dealings with especially Paula Harrison and Miss K Zechmeister who kept me fully informed at every stage and made a worrying diagnosis much easier to deal with.
I know that I may still have a mountain to climb re my diagnosis but I feel so lucky to have access to a hospital which has such high calibre staff - the NNUH must be one of the best hospitals in the UK.

It looked like mercury as it rolled and shifted above his head, scattering the light into ever changing puddles of brightness and shadow.
It couldn't have been more than a meter away, but, lungs burning and weighed down by his lifeless burden, the border between water and air could have been as far away as the moon.
"No!" Adam Svenson, or Captain Blue as he was know here, savagely quashed the thought and churned the water with his legs, punching through the surface and filling his lungs with humid air. A few more strokes got him to the water's edge and with one last heave he forced Paul's upper torso out of the water and onto the tiled edge of Cloudbase's pool, the other man's arm making a wet smack as it hit the textured ceramics.
exclamation was somewhat muffled by the air regulator clamped between
the British officer's teeth, which was promptly spat out as he sat
up and reached to help his exhausted American counterpart out of the
pool. "I may be indestructible, but I still bruise, Adam. No need
to throw me around like that." He teased, proffering his hand.
Adam took it and was hauled out. "You may be indestructible Scarlet, but you weigh a tonne!" The American teased back, grinning.
you should cut back on those chocolates the Angels keep smuggling up
here Paul." Captain Ochre, Richard, or Rick to his friends,
suggested from his bench beside the pool, his 'picture of
innocence' tone completely ruined by the broad smile splitting his
"What, so you can have them all?" That was Magenta, or Patrick, his trademark impish grin barely hidden. "That's hardly fair, Rick."
"Alright, alright, that's enough." Grey, Bradley, cut in before the banter could get carried away. He knew how highly his fellow Colour Captains coveted the chocolates the female fighter pilots somehow managed to sneak onto the base. "Okay, that was a good demo of underwater rescues you two." The comment was directed at Blue and Scarlet.
"Thanks Brad." Paul answered for them both, setting down the small harness and scuba air tank he had used as the 'victim'. "Do you think we'll be ready for the skills assessment tomorrow?"
"We should do." Richard spoke up, rubbing his ochre-bordered towel over his hair. "After all, the Old Man asked Brad and Adam to make sure the rest of us non-water people would pass." He added.
"Indeed." Scarlet nodded his agreement and shrugged out of the water-logged clothes he'd worn over his Spectrum-issue trunks. "Colonel White should be pleased. It was a most satisfactory lesson from our two resident fish."
It was a fatal comment to make in the presence of Ochre and Magenta.
hm?" Pat asked, Irish eyes twinkling as he looked over at his
partner. "What do you think, Rick, guppies or minnows?"
The former police officer scrutinised Adam and Brad with a mock thoughtful look. "Nah, Brad's a shark, but Adam'd be a goldfish, he's got the right colouring for it." He smirked, indicating his fellow Colour Captain's thatch of blonde hair.
That earned him a few chuckles.
However, Paul was the only one who noticed as his partner scooped up a damp towel and swiftly twisted it into a tight rope. Paul wisely smothered a grin and reached for another towel. This could only end one way.
eh?" Adam rather mildly asked. "You sure about that,
"Yep." Magenta interrupted, grinning at him. "It suits you, Goldie."
"That's odd Pat, because last time I checked goldfish didn't bite!" Adam punctuated the last word with a sharp flick of his wrist, making the damp towel crack the air like a bull whip.
Pat jumped backwards with a startled yelp, rubbing at the red welt
already rising on his thigh. "Oh you're gonna pay for that one,
"Wanna bet?" Adam grinned back, already re-coiling his towel for another attack.
He didn't see Ochre coil up his towel and dart into range, but Scarlet did.
"No you don't!" Paul lashed out with the damp towel in his friend's defence and caught the former World Police Commander with a wicked flick, only to let out a yelp of his own when Grey snuck up and repaid the favour. "You're all going down." Brad grinned widely at the four other Captains as he twisted his towel again. "No one can beat a Navy man at this."
The veracity of that statement was immediately challenged when Adam snuck up and snapped him across the back of the legs. "Wanna say that again?"Blue challenged, eyeing the others carefully.
Needless to say, it very quickly descended into an all out war. Towels whizzed and cracked against skin and (very rarely) air, benches became forts and someone's swim bag was about to become a projectile when...
Everyone stopped and sloooowly looked in the direction of the voice.
Colonel White, clad in black Spectrum-issue trunks with a white stripe down the side and a towel hanging over his shoulder, stood on the wet tiles with crossed arms and one raised eyebrow as he surveyed his five most senior officers, the coiled towels in their hands and the multitude of red welts decorating their legs.
The silence was ominous.
"Gentleman," Colonel White began after a moment's pause, "if you're going to torment each other, at least do it properly. A towel that's been soaked and wrung out works far better than a damp one." He surveyed his officers again, the barest hint of a smile lurking about the corners of his lips. "As you were."

Have you ever heard the slogan "Broad Street Bullies"?
Of course you have, almost every hockey fan has heard that slogan once in their life.
How do you think the Flyers got that title?
It's a very simple answer as a matter of fact, they played like Bullies back in the 70's which eventually led to back to back Stanley Cups.
So why can't these "Broad Street Bullies" beat the New Jersey Devils?
Because, they are simply NOT checking and creating space for themselves. What they did so effectively in the quarterfinals has seemed to trail off into another universe, meanwhile Ilya Bryzgalov is back on planet earth and playing his BEST hockey all season.
But wait a second, you said the Flyers rookies are putting up better stats then Mike Richards and Jeff Carter combined all season long? Isn't that what you clowns reported almost EVERY game in the regular season. That may be true Tim Panaccio and Frank Seravalli but you are "reporters" you should know that stats don't mean a thing in the playoffs!
Or wait a second, it's all about the ratings and money right?
I'm going to give it to the Flyers fans straight and be as honest as I can be.
The Flyers will NEVER win a Stanley Cup until they get players like Bobby Clarke and Dave The Hammer Schultz back on this team. They had the next Bobby Clarke in Mike Richards, but apparently he was "drinking" too much. Last I checked, Richards is in the Conference Finals and 8-1 in the playoffs. Last I checked Richards is playing like Bobby Clarke and is on route to leading the Kings to the Stanley Cup.
As for a player like Schultz, well that has never happened, yet.
Mike Richards, sure he had a rough regular season, but the playoffs is where it counts, the only thing that really matters in the end. And from what I have seen, Richards is back to his playoff form and running people over like Bobby Clarke used to do for the Flyers.
I don't care how many points Wayne Simmonds, Brayden Schenn, Sean Couturier or Jakub Voracek had in the regular season because last I checked these guys are NOT doing a thing in the semifinals, where the Flyers choked last season.
What was last season's excuse? Oh that's right the goaltending.
Well OK, Ilya Bryzgalov struggled all season long, even in the quarterfinals, but now he is playing GREAT when it really matters and the Flyers are missing that Broad Street Bullies mentality, where Mike Richards brought it every playoff game.
As you can see Mike Richards is missing from this roster and it's showing, it's showing at the wrong time but at least I can say I was right from the beginning.
So who steps up and replaces Mike Richards?
Looking at this current roster, Zac Rinaldo is the only option. As a matter of fact, since he was replaced by James Van Riemsdyk the Flyers are 2-4. Interesting little fact there because last I checked since Rinaldo was yanked from the bench, the team seemed to have lost it's spark. As if there is no one in the locker room sparking up the team before the game. You know, the stuff us as fans never see.
Speaking of James Van Riemsdyk, been saying it since he was drafted, he is overrated. That big waste of body and he still does not know how to use it as a true Broad Street Bully. And to think he will be making over $4 million a year after this summer, sickens me.
How about Wayne Simmonds?
He had a decent regular season, put up some good numbers, although they don't mean a thing in the playoffs. He also played with an edge, and didn't take any crap from anybody. OK, well where has that edge been in the semifinals? Getting paid off? Doesn't care? Can't handle the pressure?
I think the LA Kings knew what they were doing when they traded him. But look on the bright side! Ed Snider has a black man on the roster for the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation!
Jakub Voracek, can he be the next Broad Street Bully?
Can't really pick on Voracek too much here, he has been the only new acquisition playing with heart and the determination to win. Then again he was sent to the Flyers for Jeff Carter, and we all know Carter is a waste of space in the NHL. So Paul Holmgren, you get brownie points for that.
The bottom line to this rant is, if the Flyers don't start playing like the Broad Street Bullies they will NEVER have another parade down Broad Street. Start hitting the Devils, creating space so you can actually set up a scoring chance and crash the heck out of Martin Brodeur's crease. This very simple strategy can go a very long way, just look at the 2011 Bruins and the 2012 Kings.
And NO the LA KINGS are NOT the Flyers West, stupidest thing I ever heard these Flyers "reporters" say!

Parkinson's Resources of Oregon is an excellent resource for the newly diagnosed as well as for those of us who have had the disease for several years. The staff are all very knowledgable about Parkinson's and if they don't have the information you need, which is highly unlikely, they know where to refer you to obtain the answers you require. All staff members are a joy to work with....all very caring and supportive. I have personally been involved with PRO for three years and have been assisted by them many times. They are invaluable to all people living with this disease.
Hi My name is Kevin Mansfield.
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2001. All my Dr. told me was that I had Parkinson's and to come back in 6 months. I had no idea what it was or anything about this daises .I started to look on line and that was to overwhelming so I started to look for other help. I found Parkinson's Resources of Oregon and started to ask questions. They answered all of my questions and asked me if I would like to go to a support group and about two months latter one was formed. One year latter I became a Facilitator and still am 12 years latter. PRO has a very good staff that will help you in any way they can. They have a wonderful lending library, support groups all over Oregon and SW Washington. They go to health fairs to give out information to many newly diagnosed people that do not know where to turn. They have a great conference on time a year where they bring in Doctors, and other professionals to help us understand some of the feeling we are having as well as problems we may be facing. Some of the great services they provide are: Education Programs, Lending Library, Support Groups, Exercise and/or Speech Classes, Social Services.
After my diagnosis of PD in January, 2008, I was referred to PRO as a place to find out what I would be facing. I found out !! PRO is an excellent resource for education and support for PD patients and their families. The short version is this --- I can either be VERTICAL or HORIZONTAL in my approach to my future. Horizontal is giving up & sliding into the couch cushions. Vertical is daily exercise, attending & helping facilitate support groups, helping fund raise, trying to eat right & get sleep as best as I can...
Being involved in my life as much as possible. PRO has helped me develop the courage to do these things. "I can't stop the waves from breaking, but I can learn to Surf !!" John Watson
I found PRO when trying to find a way to support my mother who has Parkinson's Disease, and also as a way to educate myself on the subject. After attending two fundraising events, I realized how compassionate the staff was about their cause, and also how important PRO is for the PD community. I decided that I wanted to be a part of this, so I became a volunteer for PRO. It has been more than 6 years since I found PRO, and I couldn't be more proud to be affiliated with such a wonderful organization. My family has found support when needed, whether it be a listening ear or education on how to live the most positive life with Parkinson's Disease. Thank you to the PRO staff for always going above and beyond for those you serve!
I've had the opportunity to have some type of involvement with PRO since the late 90's when it was called Will Cope. At the time, it was a one woman show, Holly Chaimov was the Executive Director doing everything! Over the years, I have watched Parkinson's Resources of Oregon grow into an incredible organization with wonderful, caring staff that touch many lives. I am a Personal Trainer who works primarily with people with Parkinson's. So many of my clients benefit from the services provided by this great organization. The resources run the gamut from education, one on one work with clients helping them navigate the disease, Aware in Care, and Support Groups. As a co-faciiltater of a support group sponsored by PRO, I've seen the difference it can make! If one of my clients hasn't heard of PRO, I always put them in contact with one of the staff. I can't say enough good things about Parkinson's Resources of Oregon.
I was diagnosed with PD in 2004. After the shock of the diagnosis, I spent two years in denial. However, I joined an exercise class geared specifically for people with PD,started by Nancy Nelson dba PDEX. When I attended the first class, it was a real eye opener. As I viewed my classmates and their various stages with PD, and heard them using terminology related to PD that I wasn't familiar with, it made me aware that I basically had little or no understanding of this disease at all and I had already WASTED two of the most important years of learning about PD.
Through PRO, I was able to obtain numerous books and attend several PRO sponsored lectures and conferences presented by some of the top people in the their field of research. The staff at PRO is just amazing. They are very knowledgeable, bright and upbeat!
If you have been recently diagnosed with PD, PLEASE contact PRO today. They can and will help you realize that you can live a productive life with PD.
NOW GET GOING, Please!
Review from Guidestar
My involvement with this organization began over six years ago, first by volunteering, then donating, and eventually becoming a Board member. Having had family members with Parkinson's disease gives me a deep understanding of the needs of not only the client, but their families and caregivers as well. The services provided by Parkinson's Resources of Oregon reach deep into the community, providing much needed support and guidance for those affected by this disease. The staff is amazing, and the entire group is focused on providing the best support possible for the people they serve.

225 Madison Avenue at 36th Street, New York, NY 10016. Just a short walk from Grand Central and Penn Station
Charles Dickens at Home
One of the best-loved of English authors, Charles Dickens is revered as a storyteller, social campaigner, and chronicler of his time. He also cared passionately about homemaking. "No man was so inclined naturally to derive his happiness from home affairs," wrote his daughter, Mamie. This book tracks the many places where Dickens lived, from his Portsmouth birthplace and his childhood home in Chatham to his last home at Gad's Hill Place in Rochester. The book discusses his travels in England and abroad, which provided settings for his novels, and describes his various houses in London, where he lived for the majority of his life and which is the city most closely identified with his fiction.
A valuable resource for anyone with an interest in the settings of Dickens's work, this publication―richly illustrated with archival materials and original photography―gives fascinating insight into the life of this great writer by placing Dickens in his favorite domestic contexts.

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I introduce you , Vi , The Piltover Enforcer . She is a great AD offtank with high mobility , armor penetretion and a fight initiator ...
If you are asking yourself why I recommend maxing excesive force first , I will answer you with 2 simple words : FARM , HARASS .
Team Work
In teamfights try to focus enemy's AD carry . Its best to initiate the teamfight with Assault and Battery ... with your buildnand skills you will be able to initate teamfight , kill the AD carry , then walk out 'like a boss' with Vault Breaker ...
In early game , try to focus the minions but at the same time deny their farm too ... excesive force will do the job .
In mid game , try to initiate as many fights as you can , but be carefull . If you go too far from your allies , you will be killed and perhaps you wont kill anybody .
In late game , you must do like in mid game , but this time , the stakes are bigger ... try to kill their ad carry and stay alive at the same time ... and one more thing , dont be greedy , if you cant kill the ad carry , dont risk your life (too much) ...

Semaphore 1.2.0 has been released. It includes changes in the initramfs in which the awesome developer mialwe has also taken part. I'll release a minor ROM revision (1.0.1) where the only change will be the updated kernel. I do it because I think it might avoid ROM installation problems to many users.

For Possessing Cocaine?
Various states approach the case of allegations with possessing harmful drugs, either with intention to sell or for personal use. Dayton Criminal Lawyer can find out which defenses best can implement to your case and if you are able to plead not liable. The government has announced the toughest guidelines for drug sentencing and the defenses for drug possession are pretty universal across states. The amount of drugs needed in the offense is a vital factor. For example, being identified with a small quantity of cannabis for individual use is considered much more leniently than possessing many bags meant for. One more considerable point is the quantity of drugs. Possessing cannabis use is viewed more leniently than having different drugs available for purchase.
The charges for drug trafficking are considerably higher, and it might depend upon what you have the quantity as well as your age. The highest punishment is fifteen years in jail with 1,800 penalty units fine or 25 years jail with Three thousand penalty units for commercial drug trafficking. Someone under Eighteen years of age will get 2 decades in jail. Hence, if charged with possessing drugs, you are in extremely serious problem.
The majority of drug arrests involve locating drugs at home or being transported in the vehicle. At times, it isn't precise as to auto controls the drugs or actually possesses them. The person who has been arrested might not be even knowledgeable, particularly if he's driving somebody else's car.
Therefore, the actual charge depends upon different elements and circumstance of the case. Your lawyer can debate that the drugs belonged to some other person or were planted in your auto. The prosecutor of the case will be accountable for verifying that the drugs belonged to you really. The statement of the police has a lot more value in the courtroom.
Organized crime about drug crimes such as drug cartels and money laundering, people get involved in prolonged legal battles to save their properties, cars, and personal savings. The law officers are officers to seize property initially and put the accusations later on. The belongings can be taken before a person is found guilty of criminal offenses. However, inquiries are being raised if one should lose their residence without being convicted.
It's very important to get legal services prior to being questioned by cops. Contact Dayton Criminal Lawyer who can preset your case with the best security and make an effort to lower your charges and penalties. The criminal defense attorney can challenge the credibility of the crime lab because errors are commonly made. Police having a search warrant can easily search your home or automobile. But, your lawyer can dispute the credibility of the search warrant. He can produce aspects to your advantage and the prosecutor can have a tough time convincing a court that you're guilty.
Ethnically speaking, the jury system demands a proof that you committed an offence. All one must do is convince one juror according to the details. But, it is easier said than done and you require the best legal representative and security for the case.

Day 4: October 30, 2015
Comment via blog
|The lobby of the Wildey Theater is the conference entry portal.
|Conference Director Cheryl Eichar Jett got things started by introducing Edwardsville Mayor Hal Patton who welcomed us to his city and told us some of its history. Keynote speaker Dr. David K. Dunaway followed with "The Hidden Voices of Route 66". With the help of audio clips, Dunaway talked about people such as blacks and the very poor who do not always appear in the common view of Route 66.
|I took advantage of the break between sessions to snap a shot from the Wildey's balcony.
|Then I used the rest of the break to visit the vendor's area on the third floor.
|I finished up my morning with author Susan Croce Kelly's presentation "Father of Route 66: Cy Avery".
|Lunch was with Fred Zander and Dave Wickline at Northside Dairy Haven on the next to last day of the season. We all got the fish special, Fred & I also got pumpkin shakes, and I got a wonderful smile.
|The first afternoon session I attended was "Route 66 in Illinois" with Cheryl Eichar Jett and Joe Sonderman. Then it was Swa Frantzen's "Route 66 as Seen through European Eyes". Swa lives in Belgium, has traveled Route 66 multiple times, and operates the oldest Route 66 website in existence. I wrapped things up with "Family-Friendly Route 66" by Dr. Anne Maro Slanina, author of Annie Mouse Books.
|Lots of talking and laughing took place at the conference dinner.
|A concert by every roadie's favorite band, The Road Crew. For anyone not familiar with the band, the sequence of the individual pictures is Woody, Joe, Jason, and Don. This show was kind of special for a couple members of The Crew. Woody recently had both hips replaced and the concert was one of the incentives that kept him focused on his rehabilitation. It could not have been easy but its success was confirmed by the fact that concert goers wouldn't have known anything about it if Don hadn't told the story. This was also a special show for Joe since his son lives near St Louis and he had two granddaughters dancing in the front row. The last shot is of the group doing Pretty Woman in their Roy Orbison disguises. The transformation is uncanny.
