Twelve O'Clock High Review
There are several traditional formulas which a war film can follow and the most popular is probably the "Firm But Fair New Commanding Officer Licks Platoon Into Shape And Overcomes Initial Suspicion To Become Deeply Beloved." From Allan Dwan's marvellous Sands Of Iwo Jima to variations such as Robert Aldrich's The Dirty Dozen, this particular blueprint has become a staple of the genre. It's a hard one to mess up but what makes Henry King's airbourne drama Twelve O'Clock High a particularly fine example is that it emphasises character over cliche and manages to renew some of the more familiar aspects of the formula.
If we ignore a rather redundant framing device set in 1949, the film is set in Autumn of 1942 when the War was reaching a point of stalemate and an edge was needed if the Allies were to fight on successfully. The key proved to be daytime bombing raids on German industry undertaken by a range of allied pilots, but the film - understandably if irritatingly - concentrates on the part played by the US airmen flying from airfields in England. I'll put the whole question of the Hollywoodisation of the Allied Victory to one side; it's always an issue which leads to strong feelings but one could certainly argue that the British have been just as lacking in this quarter - watching a number of British war films from 1940 to 1955 one would be forgiven for thinking that the war was won by Sir John Mills. Gregory Peck, on top form, plays General Frank Savage who is asked to take over the command of the 918th Bomber Squadron based at 'Archbury' when their commanding officer proves unfit to keep his post. His approach is, as you'd expect, firm but fair and he gradually wins over the men as he proves that his way is the right way. But the nerve-wracking business of bombing German industry during the daylight hours begins to take its toll, but on the men and their General.
Although this is, in essence, familiar war movie territory, there are some nice touches which make this more than just another generic Hollywood product. Peck's performance is particularly impressive as he refuses to turn Savage into a sweetheart to get easy sympathy. He's a hard bastard, to put it bluntly, and his unwillingness to show emotion means that we're spared the usually inevitable sentimentality. Even more intriguing is the way his character develops, so that towards the end of the film this unyielding martinet becomes an emotional wreck as the realities of war and the number of men lost under his command suddenly become too much for him to cope with. This is nicely underplayed - rather than ranting and raving, Savage becomes virtually catatonic - and very effectively brings a real sense of the horror of war into the film. Indeed, there isn't a lot of misplaced patriotic fervour here - the men at the top are shown as being efficient but soulless men who see the men on the front line as statistics rather than people while the business of bombing raids is presented as difficult work which ends in relief rather than euphoria. The whole question of when a man should be regarded as burnt out is raised too, something rather more controversial in 1949 than it is now when America was about to enter the huge mess that was the Korean War. The film asks what 'maximum effort' is, how it can be gauged and when simple compassion requires a commander to pull one of his men out of the firing line. Rather serious and po-faced this might be, and the discussion of the issue is rather stretched out, but in it one can see the confrontational attitude towards the nature of military strategy and discipline that became the basis of Joseph Heller's "Catch 22' 13 years later. There's some blackly funny humour here too. Tearing one lazy Colonel to shreds in his office, Savage demands that his plane be renamed "Leper Colony" and manned with all the worst airmen in the outfit and, in reponse to the entirely reasonable concern of his men that they might be shot down by the German war machine, Savage says "Consider yourselves already dead... that should stop you worrying about it !" Above all, the film gives us a poignant reminder of all the young men who would go off to war with such high hopes but who would never grow any older and whose voices still echo over the deserted air fields throughout Europe.
The performances are all excellent, something unusual in itself for this genre which relies on stock characters and a familiar team of actors. Peck is splendid throughout but he's well matched by Gary Merrill as Lt.Col Keith Davenport who is replaced for "overidentification with his men" and Paul Stewart as the aforementioned pilot of the "Leper Colony" whose zest to prove himself lands him in hospital. Best of all though is Dean Jagger as Major Stovall, Savage's administrative assistant and eventually Ground Exec. Stovall is a touching character, too old to join this war and pained by memories of the last one, and Jagger is simply marvellous in the part. He won a well-deserved Oscar for the part and its certainly the best work he ever did on film (although I have fond memories of him in White Christmas and as the Sherrif in Sam Fuller's wonderful Forty Guns). His measured, subtle work in this film is testament to what makes a good supporting performance; always memorable but never consciously grandstanding. A slightly odd aspect of the film, and perhaps a welcome one in this context, is the absence of any significant female roles. This is realistic for the setting of course but particularly welcome in that it means we are spared the customary romantic interest for the star - remember how so many war films grind to a halt while its established at interminable length that the main character is heterosexual ?
This is a fine example of Hollywood professionalism in all aspects of the production. Henry King was never the most inspiring director but he did do some very solid work and occasionally rose to unexpected heights. Along with this film he made Jesse James and The Gunfighter, also with Peck and one of the most unusual and interesting Westerns ever made. His direction here is well paced and intelligent, serving the performances without indulging in empty stylistics. His decision not to film combat footage but to rely on that filmed during the War is double-edged. On the one hand, the quality of the footage is generally poor and isn't always well integrated into the scenes. On the other, it has a documentary truth which you couldn't get any other way and it does have a peculiar, if morbid, fascination. The script, based on a well known bestseller of the time, is functional but has its moments. There's nothing to criticise about the technical aspects of the film since they are all top-notch, although Alfred Newman's music is characteristically overstated and sometimes needs to be mentally edited out. It attempts to hype up the emotions when it doesn't actually need to do so. A word should be said for the excellent location shooting, a hallmark of Fox productions of the era.
If you're a fan of war films then you will probably be familiar with Twelve O'Clock High but anyone who appreciates good storytelling and acting will find much to enjoy in it. It is a little dated in certain aspects - there is a noticable absence of violence and the language is considerably more moderate than would be the case now - but it delivers a strong sense of the way war can affect the men who fight it and that's always something worth commending.
The Disc
Fox haven't gone to much trouble to make this release anything special but the technical aspects of the disc are above average.
The film looks very good on this release, certainly better than I had anticipated considering the age of the film. There is some print damage in places and the poor quality of some of the WW2 footage is all too obvious in comparison to the rest of the film. But this fullscreen transfer is generally very good. There is a fairly good level of detail and excellent contrast. Shadow detail is also good. A certain amount of restoration appears to have been undertaken. This isn't up there in the Citizen Kane class of forties transfers but it's certainly more than competent.
The soundtrack is English Dolby Stereo 2.0, remixed from the original mono soundtrack and is entirely acceptable. There is not a great deal of stereo activity although some sound effects are spread across the left and right channels. The dialogue is fine as is the music and there is no hiss or distortion. There isn't much here that a mono soundtrack couldn't have done just as well to be honest.
There are no extras at all on the disc. This strikes me as rather odd although the film is good enough to stand on its own. There are 16 chapter stops and static menus.
A very good film, one which seems to have been rather forgotten, has received a bare-bones release from Fox. The disc is acceptable however and might be worth considering if you can find it for a reasonably low price.

When dental practices need more new patients, they often turn to dental marketing experts to help make the phone ring. The truth is, getting the phone to ring is only the beginning of the new patient's journey. While many marketing companies track conversion in terms of clicks and calls to determine if their marketing is doing its job, calls don't mean diddly if the patients aren't producing for you.
There are five key steps to a successful dental marketing campaign.
This one is on us (and every dental marketing company!). We help our practices craft the right message, to the right audience, in the right medium. There are lots of steps that may have motivated a potential new patient to get to this point – your website, your social media presence, your reviews, your Google Ads, a postcard, print, radio, television… etc. Whatever marketing strategies you employ, the intention is to drive you new patient opportunities.
Don't laugh. If you are understaffed up front, I guarantee you are missing new patient opportunities. They are ready, right now for you to wow them… but if you didn't answer, "Well hey, this next dental practice on the list has almost the same number of reviews and star-rating. I'll try them." If you haven't implemented call tracking on your dental marketing efforts, you may be blissfully ignorant of all the new patient calls you are missing. Let us give you some hard numbers to digest based on years of tracking new patient phone calls:
On average, 1 out of every 4 calls a dental practice receives goes to voicemail.
75% of calls that go to voicemail do not leave a message. *
(*Based off of over 22,504 screened voicemail calls.)
If you think they will call back, or if you assume they will leave a message, think again. (Want to see how your practice compares? Check out our call tracking solutions for your dental practice if calls going to voicemail is an issue for you.)
Alright front desk team, time to roll up your sleeves. This is a conversation where your choice in words really does matter. Some callers are price shoppers. Some callers don't want to hear a word you have to say about the practice until you have confirmed that you take their insurance. Some are so keen to only seek out IN NETWORK providers, they will thwart your every effort to explain how their dental insurance is barely worth the paper it is printed on.
The average dental practice converts 59% of their new patient opportunities.
If your team doesn't know how to confidently navigate the tough conversations that new patients throw their way, you can kiss that new patient goodbye. We know all about the struggles your team faces. If you have call tracking for your dental practice, we recommend you listen in.
Step 4 really could be a lot of different things. But the most common missed opportunity is diagnosed treatment that goes untreated. Whether they had aspirations of the perfect smile, or if they had a tooth in desperate need of restoration, the way you communicate the value of the service you can provide them could be the difference between dental marketing that barely pays for itself, and a campaign that gives you an unbelievable ROI.
Factors that Influence Treatment Plan Conversion:
You worked hard to get this new patient. Your team got them in the door, 'WOWed' them, and they walked out feeling and looking like a million bucks. If you want your dental marketing dollars to exponentially increase your new patient flow, the very best thing you can do is provide a new patient experience that inspires them to share. Your most reliable, highest producing patients, will come to your practice because other patients told them about you.
For a lot of the practices we work with, making the phone ring is the easiest part of the equation. It's only the beginning. Never underestimate the power of a patient's experience with your dental practice. If you want more new patients from your dental marketing, help your team nail steps 2-5. Your bank account will thank you.
Wondering if it's not them, it's you? Schedule a call to get some insight from one of our in-house experts. We love dental marketing that works, even if someone else is doing it. Let's talk!

Ukrainian girls are actually considerably wed to foreigners. Over recent ten years, the number of blended marital relationships in the nation has increased: in 2008, every 30th marriage was concluded along with the immigrant however in 2017 –– every 15th.
Currently, the number of Ukrainian females exceeds the variety of Ukrainian guys through 14%. Since 2016, there were 19.7 million guys as well as 22.8 females in Ukraine. Thus, 14 away from one hundred girls have almost no chances to locate a life partner due to the fact that simply there aren'& rsquo; t enough guys
. In recent times, Ukraine has ended up being a preferred area for foreigners to locate life'& rsquo; s companions. Depending on to stats, the need to locate their passion with Ukrainian females is frequently discovered by guys coming from Spain, Israel, the USA, Turkey and Germany.
Simply coming from Israel more than 300 males go to Ukraine annually in search of Ukraine brides. Today in Israel there are actually loads of agencies concentrating on managing "& ldquo; wedding event excursions & rdquo; in Ukraine, specifically, in Odessa as well as Kherson, where many of the Ukrainian wives of Israeli males arise from.
According to the Administrative agency of Compensation data, nearly 19 thousand marital relationships along with immigrants were actually registered in Ukraine over the past four years. Usually they are locals of Donetsk and also Kharkov locations, along with Kiev, as well as for insufficient 4 months of this particular year the volume of the marital relationships is actually 850 currently.
Making an effort to leave coming from hardship, vulnerability as well as battle, the Ukrainian females are increasingly wed to foreigners. Over recent ten years, the share of blended marital relationships in the nation has increased. Generally, the amount of marriages in Ukraine over recent 10 years has decreased. However, the amount of marital relationships between Ukrainian girls as well as foreigners is actually growing. In 2008, 11,400 combined wedding ceremonies were actually enrolled in Ukraine, as well as in 2017 the amount increased approximately 15,500. As well as this record is actually merely for relationships in Ukraine. As an example, in Poland over recent 2 years, the variety of marital relationships helped make through local homeowners with citizens of Ukraine boosted coming from 400 to 1,000.
The brides' & rsquo; inclinations for the nations of grooms' & rsquo; origin likewise transformed. If 10 years earlier, the huge portion of possible companions were migrants from the CIS (more than 60%), right now the representatives of the countries of Europe as well as Asia came to the leading edge. Most importantly, Ukrainian elegance attracts Asians. Nearly 40% of them are actually the fiancés of Ukraine brides.
The appeal of international hubbies amongst Ukrainian girls is verified by relationship agencies. According to their estimates, the variety of marital relationships along with immigrants has actually increased in the past five years, and also the variety of charms from Ukrainian females to global matchmaking solutions has boosted a minimum of five-fold. A decade earlier mainly young girls related to the Ukraine marital relationship agency searching for an other half abroad, today girls of 35-50 years old are definitely trying to find hubbies.
The wish of females to marry a visit ukraine-brides.com.au for marriagen immigrant is understandable. They believe that in an additional country they will certainly be actually healthier than in the house. The specifications of residing in other countries are actually far better, as well as men do not exploit booze and also appreciation females. Possibly that is actually the reality, but there are actually opportunities when Ukrainian wives escaped from their princes back home. However a lot of Ukrainian gals are fortunate to comply with a conscientious, taught and looking after immigrant as their fiancé.
In 2017, there were actually signed up 782 marriages between the Poles and Ukrainian girls. Sociologists noticed this sensation when Poland'& rsquo; s extension to the EU: the amount of marital relationships in between the Poles and Germans, Italians as well as Greeks improved. It is kept in mind that the marital relationships of Poles along with Ukrainians are actually much stronger than the relationships of Poles with foreigners coming from Fantastic Britain or Germany.
The most popular men one of Ukrainian gals are Germans and also Italians. Ukrainian ladies also like the French and Scandinavians. Due to the age of 40, females end up being calmer as well as prefer men from peaceful countries. And younger mental women choose the same males as they are actually –– bright and emotional males coming from warm and comfortable nations.
A lot of Germans are interested in Ukrainians. Typically the ideas concerning a Slavic partner explore all of them at the age of forty-five or even fifty. Such males look for women ten or even fifteen years more youthful, and also one of their crucial needs for a woman is to be healthy and balanced and also without bad habits. An individual strategies that the Ukrainian female will certainly give a birth to their youngsters, a person wants her to amuse them and care for all of them. Everybody possesses various goals, yet all Germans are sure that in any case, by marrying a Ukrainian woman, they save her from a meager lifestyle, and she should be actually grateful to all of them for it.
Americans and also Europeans are cautious about Ukrainian appeals. Together with the positive picture of a Ukrainian-faithful spouse, there is one more fashion of a gorgeous killer, which just entices loan. It turns out that the negative picture of Ukrainians is the end result of illegal plans. Immigrants devote countless bucks to correspond with Ukrainians, who perform certainly not really exist. To prevent meeting the frauds in Net as well as in reality, you must locate international matchmaking solutions along with much more than ten years of knowledge and also beneficial evaluations.
Yet there is another group of immigrants who desire to marry a Ukrainian woman –– they have Slavic roots and a longing for their birthplace is unavoidable. They truly exist, they have an interest in everything that is connected with the homeland of ancestors, past history, practices, yet most significantly –– Ukrainian charms. In any case, girls'& rsquo; s charms are actually the primary key resource. As well as if a foreigner locates a woman with the aid of Ukraine relationship agency as well as loves a Ukrainian woman genuine, his primary goal will definitely be actually the one –– to create her delighted.

A major requirement to synthesize polymeric materials via photopolymerizations is the efficiency of the photoinitiator. This is because the amount of initiated polymer chain is crucial for the outcome of the radical polymerization. Many factors have been reported to influence this efficiency including the UV-Vis absorption properties, the irradiation wavelengths, the dissociation quantum yields and the reactivity of primary radicals towards monomers. To enable "on demand" access to a wide range of photoinitiators performance, Gescheidt and co-workers developed a tool for predicting the initiator efficiency of various type 1 (α-cleavage) photoinitiators. To achieve this, a systematic analysis of the photoinitiator performance revealed the interplay of absorption properties, dissociation quantum yields, light intensities, irradiation wavelengths and kinetics. It is important to note that important side reactions such as oxygen quenching have also been taken into account. The author's simulations demonstrate that under ideal conditions any photoinitiator will function in an almost perfect way. However, the oxygen quenching mechanism combined with the subtleness of the photo-physical properties of the photoinitiator differentiates a well-suited photoinitiator from a less useful one. The authors conclude that a balanced combination of the intrinsic photoinitiator characteristics (i.e. absorption spectrum of initiator, quantum yields of dissociation, rate constants for primary radicals towards monomers), the major side reactions such as oxygen quenching, and the emission properties of the utilized light source (i.e. irradiation wavelengths, light intensity) is crucial to achieve the optimal initiation performance. As the authors nicely note in their conclusion, such a tool is not only useful for experienced researchers but it can also serve as an educational guide. The corresponding kinetic scheme is freely available on the author's website and can be adjusted by any user.
Tips/comments directly from the authors:
1. A single property is not sufficient to reasonably classify a photoinitiator. A subtly interplay between absorbance, quantum yield, kinetics and the character of the light source is what matters.
2. The choice of a suitable photoinitiator strongly depends on the desired application (e.g. bulk polymerization or coatings). Here, the number of initiating radicals directs the efficiency of the polymerization and its robustness vs. oxygen inhibition.
3. The optical density of the formulation combined with the wavelength of irradiation control the thickness of the cured layer. It is crucial to be aware of the exact properties of the used light source (emission bands, intensity), since this drastically influences the amount of generated radicals and the initiation rate.
4. The Simulations rely on experimental parameters, which are straightforwardly determined (e.g. rate constants (Polym. Chem., 2018, 9, 38–47) and quantum yields (Photochem. Photobiol. Sci., 2018, 17, 660–669)) and provide an overall picture of a complex process such as the initiation of a photo-induced polymerization.

of Light above Amsterdam
Thursday September
21 was the International Day of Peace. There were events in all the
big cities in the world. In Amsterdam this happened on the roof of the
NEMO science centre, under a pyramid of light.
People from
every culture and religion were invited. Meditating, singing, making
music and dancing led to a special place of togetherness of multi-cultural
Amsterdam, as an example to all the regions where people are fighting
each other.
The Jewish name for Amsterdam "Mokum" has for centuries now done honour to its Hebrew meaning of "safe haven". The pyramid of light above NEMO, the roof of Amsterdam, symbolizes the unity of the city. Eventually a pyramid of light will have to appear above the roofs of the Old City of Jerusalem but so far this has not been permitted. That is why Rob Schrama will initiate several light-events in the near future in several cities with the citizens, who can thus show
that is possible to live with each other in peace.

I have tried it and it made a difference for a little while but it got too expensive for us so I switched back to normal and he kept sleeping through, mostly anyway.
It's worth a try though.
I bought this when it was on offer but didn't think that it made any difference to be honest. Charlie seemed like it but I have kept him on his usual milk once it run out.

- Strike Claw NT
- An improved model of Virsago's Strike Claws. This claws can be used as melee weapons and also mount built-in beam cannon. Enhanced via psycommu system, they're now function like remote weapons.
- Raptor Claw
- A variant of Strike Claws, attached to the feet of Virsago Assassin, also mount built-in beam cannon.

An upgrade plan for NRX-0013 Gundam Virsago, focusing on usage of Strike Claws as remote weapons. However, Virsago's frame doesn't have space for additional generator needed for the upgrade. Also, without a pilot capable of utilizing the flash system, the Virsago Assassin's plan got cancelled.

Honeywell IPCAM-PT
Pan/Tilt IP Security Camera
This product is not sold by Alarm Grid at this time. As an alternative, we recommend:
The Honeywell IPCAM-PT is a pan/tilt IP security camera that allows you to remotely view your property from any computer with web access or from any iPhone®, iPad®, Blackberry® or Android™ device. You can even view your IPCAM-PT from a Tuxedo Touch or Tuxedo Touch WiFi touchscreen keypad. Unlike the IPCAM-WI2, which is a fixed IP camera, the IPCAM-PT allows you to pan the view left and right and tilt the view up and down. The pan/tilt feature is great for covering a room that is larger than the standard view of the camera.
You cannot use the IPCAM-PT unless you sign up for AlarmNet's Total Connect video service. While Total Connect is known as an interactive service for Honeywell security systems, it can also be used with the AlarmNet video cameras even if you don't have a security system. As a standalone video surveillance service, your Total Connect account provides you with the ability to view live video footage of your home or business. You can even remotely look around the room as the IPCAM-PT has the pan/tilt feature. If you set up video notifications, you can have the security camera send you emails and/or text messages every time the IPCAM-PT detects motion. The video camera looks for a change in the pixelation of the view of the camera to detect motion and the motion detection is programmable for sensitivity. You can even have the notification email include the actual (10) second video clip of whatever triggered the clip so that you know what is happening as it happens.
If you do happen to have a Honeywell security system and you already have a Total Connect account, you can upgrade your Total Connect account to include the video service if you want to add the IPCAM-PT security cameras. While the cameras aren't technically integrated with the security system, you will be able to view your property from the same web based account or application that you use to arm or disarm your security system. Keep in mind that you can only connect up to (6) AlarmNet video cameras to your Total Connect account.
The Honeywell IPCAM-PT does require power so you will need to install it near a standard wall outlet. The power transformer used to power the camera is included with each IPCAM-PT. You can connect the camera to your internet network wirelessly however. You will need a router that has WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) and a one touch WPS encryption button. If your router does not have a WPS encryption button, and you want to use the WiFI feature of the IPCAM-PT, you should get a Honeywell wireless access point (WAP-PLUS). The WAP-PLUS is designed to work with all AlarmNet video cameras and provides wireless connectivity between the camera and your wireless router. Of course, if you are able to easily run an Ethernet cable between your IPCAM-PT and your router, you can also establish connection that way. While running the Ethernet cable can be tricky, a wired connection is typically more stable than a wireless connection.
Before ordering a Honeywell IPCAM-PT and signing up for a Total Connect video service account, you should verify that your internet speed is adequate. You will need 768 Kbps upload speed for each AlarmNet security camera connected to your account. This is a fairly high requirement so make sure to check your bandwidth on a site like www.speedtest.net. If you do not have adequate upload speed, your video will be choppy. You can reduce the resolution of the camera and the frame rate as well to make the quality of the streaming video better, but the best fix is to upgrade your internet bandwidth to the required speed.

An analyst from Hana Financial Investment Corp. warned against a short-term bubble in bio shares on Tuesday.
The stock market bubble warning comes after shares of Celltrion and its two affiliated firms shot back up after plunging the previous week. A stock market bubble occurs when investors drive the price of a share much higher than its actual value, increasing the chance of a market crash.
"Stocks of Celltrion trio – Celltrion, Celltrion Healthcare and Celltrion Pharm-- have deepened suspicions about the possibility of the realization of the 'Minsky Moment' of KOSDAQ," said Kim Yong-gu, an analyst at Hana Financial Investment Corp. "There is a need for risk management for the KOSDAQ biopharmaceutical shares as the stock market bubble might burst."
Minsky Moment is when a market fails or falls into crisis after an extended period of market speculation or unsustainable growth.
"Most of the bubbles that happened in the history of financial speculation went through a catastrophic failure after experiencing the Minsky Moment," Kim added. "The paths between the Minsky general model and KOSDAQ biotech share are similar."
Kim noted the price of Korea's bio-shares as a ground for ordering specific risk management.
"Korea's bio-shares are the most expensive in the world based on Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) BenchMark," Kim said. "Also, there were no outstanding points for both technology and financial performance in comparison to its global peers."
Kim also cited the listing of Celltrion in the main bourse and its inclusion in the KOSPI 200 index. Celltrion has emerged as the fourth largest company by market capitalization in Korea.
"Questions remain about whether Celltrion can align itself with firms such as SK Hynix, Hyundai Motor, POSCO and KB Financial," Kim said. "This is not a problem confined to Celltrion, but to every bio-share listed on the KOSDAQ market.
Another reason for risk management was the U.S. interest rates.
Kim predicted that if the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates in March, the focus of the global stock market would shift to value stocks rather than growth stocks such as bio-stocks.
"The Federal Reserve's interest rate hike risk, which is likely to go through, will spread a proactive stress response throughout the domestic and international stock markets," Kang added. "This suggests that global style and sector leadership will shift from growth stocks to high-value stocks."

The separatist mafia acted again last night in the town of Balsareny (Barcelona), governed by a formation, People of Balsareny, related to the far-left party Podemos, and in which there are no constitutional councilors.
About 2:30 in the morning, they have launched an incendiary object against the apartment of a family with three small children, for having a Spanish flag hanging on their balcony. The door of the house has begun to burn and there has been an even greater misfortune because the dog has awakened the family and it has called the firefighters. Pilar Riesco has posted on his Twitter account some photos that show the effects of the attack:
From what you see in the photos, not only did they attack the interior of the house, but they also tried to burn – unsuccessfully – the Spanish flag hanging on the balcony:
José Ramón Bosch has also published this photo showing the damage caused at the door of the address:
When the firemen arrived, the fire had already been extinguished with the help of local police, according to TV3. A person has had to receive medical attention because of smoke inhalation. To make matters worse, the fire truck that has come to the fire had attached propaganda separatist, despite being a vehicle of public ownership:
A separatist recently assaulted an 11-year-old boy from the same family
It is the circumstance that the 11-year-old son of the owner of this apartment was attacked by a separatist on October 21. The boy had come out in defense of his younger sister, who had ripped off some papers stuck to a wall, when a neighbor of the town faced the girl. The adult attacked the child, damaging his neck and back. The child ended with a great attack of anxiety and fear. The family went to the emergency room immediately, and the child was diagnosed with several contractures and was fitted with a cervical collar. The aggressor has been identified by the family, who filed a complaint with the Catalan Police, but there has been no news about it so far.

Dr Ashish Dutta On Profhilo Treatment "The New Botox".
If you have dreamt of getting back your youthful looking skin and are trying to find that one natural looking fix to act as a time machine, Profhilo treatment could be just what you've been looking for.
What is it?
Profhilo is a new discovery in the industry focusing on the issues associated with skin aging. It can be said to be a new age, innovative, skin-remodeling technique that aims at not just addressing the superficial signs of ageing but goes deeper to address the root cause. It can be considered to be a non-surgical face-lift that aims to bring back the elasticity and the firmness of the skin, giving it a younger looking, smooth texture.
Profhilo offers natural looking and effective results. Being based on Hyaluronic acid technology, the treatment assists in nourishing the skin cells and also in restoring the firmness of the skin, lending it a healthier looking appearance.
Profhilo treatment is not a filler, it would not be correct to equate it with a volumizing dermal filler since it is comprised purely of hyaluronic acid. Not to be confused with mesotherapy either, rather it can be said to be a super skin booster that sits between the layers of the skin and then works its magic. It introduces an amazing amount of hydration into the skin and also triggers collagen and elastin production which leads to a bio-remodeling of the skin.
What does it do?
Profhilo treatment addresses skin laxity primarily, and works by remodelling the skin. It uses the revolutionary concept of "curling" the wrinkles rather than merely "filling" them. This means that the Profhilo treatment does not just work as a filler, rather it targets the wrinkles by going deep down and working directly with the problem instead of providing a temporary fix.
Profhilo treatment helps to increase skin elasticity and helps in making it firm. It tightens and lifts skin, improving the overall skin tone as well as the texture of the skin. It hydrates the skin which helps in making the skin radiant and glowing. This results in a reduction in the signs of skin aging. The visible results of Profhilo treatment can be seen just after two sessions with a month of interval and involves just five injection points on each side of the face.
How is it better than Botox?
The Profhilo treatment has a lot of benefits over Botox. To begin with, Botox focuses upon relaxing the muscle contractions lessening wrinkles and fine lines, which works only as a temporary fix. Profhilo treatment seeks to treat and reverse ageing from deep within, it addresses the problem by way of restoration to the natural order of things. It helps in restoring the collagen and elastin of the skin that helps to make it look radiant, youthful and healthy.
Another benefit of opting for Profhilo treatment over Botox is also the pain and the discomfort experienced. Profhilo involves five injections on each side of the face, away from major vessels, nerves etc. This is then done in a way that enhances the spreadability of the treatment so that the results are better and more evenly distributed. The product is designed in a way to flow and distribute evenly on its own and this leads to its integration with the skin's tissue reducing or eliminating any resistance by the skin. As compared to other dermal fillers that stay where they are injected, the Profhilo treatment involves much less pain and risk.
Profhilo can be used on a number of areas including the entire face (including eye area), neck, décolletage, upper arms and hands. The treatment is suitable for practically anyone, men and women, anyone who is above the age of 30 and there is no upper age limit.
One can easily decide what procedure to opt for, keeping in mind one's own personalised needs and expectations. A good doctor can guide you well and explain the various positives and negatives of each and every procedure in detail, along with addressing any concerns and issues. A consultation with the doctor is advisable for anyone thinking about a treatment or procedure.Doctors Bio: Dr Ashish Dutta, Founder of Aesthetic Beauty Centre, is one of the few highly trained and accredited surgeons in the UK. He is an MBBS, LRCP, LRCS, LMSSA, DFFP, MRCGP, DPD, B-Tec in Advanced Skin Laser Technology & IPL.

CLI was also able to exceed its P7-billion target for 2018 by 22%.
"The year ended even stronger than what we expected. The year 2018 was a year of expansion to other key areas of VisMin fortifying CLI's leadership in property development of the region," Jose R. Soberano III, CLI president and chief executive officer, said in a statement.
Mr. Soberano said the company recorded robust sales of newly launched projects such as Baseline Prestige, One Astra Place, and Casa Mira Towers, which are located in Cebu, and MesaVirre Garden Residences in Bacolod.

By housing segment, CLI said its high-end Premier series accounted for 36% of sales, followed by the mid-market Garden series (34%), and Casa Mira (30%).
This 2019, the company plans to continue expanding outside of Cebu, particularly Iloilo, Bohol, Ormoc, General Santos, and Davao.
CLI also plans to develop townships and hotels in the future.
"Our strategy is proving effective and, given the strength of the property market, we will continue bringing our developments to even more Filipinos in the Visayas-Mindanao region," Mr. Soberano said.
Shares in CLI slipped by P0.07 or 1.62% to close at P4.26 per piece at the stock exchange on Monday. — Vincent Mariel P. Galang

As newlyweds, for some reason, our relatives would always ask what we had for dinner. I think they were either concerned about us getting the right nutrients or my "good" wife skills. My bet is on the latter.
"What are you cooking during the week?," my mom asked me on a Sunday while I was over at her house.
"Why not?," I said cracking up, knowing exactly what she meant between the lines. "It's a perfectly light meal at 9pm."
Shortly after that, my sister-in-law, who is no Paula Deen herself, calls to check up on us. Ruds told her we were having dinner and she asked THE question.
"A bowl of Cheerios," my hubby confessed.
"But that's no meal for a man", she responded.
Ruds and I were laughing for days! I must say though, that after 3 years, I've discovered some fast-meal recipes that do the trick of filling up the bellies. The days of bowls of cereal are not completely over...but now we mix it up a bit.

A teenage girl walking down the street with her arms around her boyfriend...and his hands on her butt, that's a bold girl. A 15 year-old girl sitting on her sweetheart's lap at a family party...that's what I consider a liberal familia. A H.S. sophomore laying in bed watching TV with her novio, with the door open or closed...is she suicidal? Maybe not...after all.
My mom would say that today's girls "no tienen verguenza"...they have no shame. I would say they're bolder because their environment is allowing them to be. Now, is that good, bad or just different from how we were brought up?
I will say this...I found myself gasping for air when I saw that my cousin, a 100% Latino man, allows his teenage-daughter to hang out in bed with her boyfriend...and that it's normal for them. Grant it, they were fully clothed and watching a movie. Am I officially a vieja for thinking it's inappropriate? That would be soooo far from okay in my parent's household. It would be considered downright disrespectful and I'm not sure I would be here, typing away right now, if I was that teen girl.
Now, I'm not claiming that I was an angel as a teen. I did commit some PDA "offenses"...but of course, when my parent's weren't looking. I even had a few friends who were sexually active at 15. That's no different from today's young ladies. I don't want to sound like a prude. In fact, I think girls need to be armed with information about sex so that they can protect themselves. For our girls' sake, parents can't be naive. But flaunting it in public...is that a different story?
I guess my overall question is...are girls losing something by displaying so much PDA or are we hypocrites for frowning upon it?

It's President Obama's motorcade (you see the black limo in the middle of the pic?) arriving this afternoon to tape his interview with David Letterman. On the right, proof that even jaded New Yorkers are not too busy to check out the scene.
BTW, the crowd clapped and cheered when he drove through. I was surprised.

Anyway, you may be asking...then why would I cheat on my manicurist? Let me explain. I had an important meeting last week and I needed to look presentable. I walked in to the Queens nail salon the day before my meeting and she was booked for the day. So I did what I had to do. I had her new colleague do my nails and I didn't think anything of it...'til I stopped by last week to make an appt. and she gave me a half-smile.
So,back to this morning...I get there and again she's kind of quiet and not as happy to see me as usual. My brain goes off with a thousand questions. Is it too early in the morning for her? Did it bother her that I had someone else touch my nails? Is it my imagination or just my guilt? Is it silly to feel guilty? I immediately texted Reg, my friend and also Jenny's customer.
"I think Jenny is mad at me. The last time I was here, I had to get a mani with the new lady. Now I'm here and she's not as chatty," I wrote to Reg.
A second later, my phone rings. "Don't mention my name at all. I don't want Jenny giving me the cold shoulder because of you," my former roommate instructs me.
"But it was an emergency," I replied.
"Well, you needed to go somewhere else for that", Reg advised, laughing.
Oh man...did I break some sort of unspoken rule? The good news is...that by the end of my hour with Jenny, she was back to normal. We were talking about her kids again...and she even asked me about "my roommate". I told her Reg was doing great.

Isn't it funny how I'm on a first-name basis with my friends' psychotherapists? No, they've never met me personally, but anytime I want to drive a point home...or hear a neutral point-of-view, I ask..."What did Beverly say?" I wonder if their ears ring every time we say their names.
The other day my girlfriend was having boy trouble. Another classic story of naughty-guy-full-of-drama crossing your friend's path and she's tempted. Haven't we all been there? "What did Anna say?", I immediately asked, assuming she had told her therapist all about this flirt. "She said he has to work out his issues before he could be ready for a relationship", my amiga confessed. I think that shrink knows what she's talking about...in other words, stay away!
I wonder if therapists know that they're a part of a tight girly circle or what Wendy Williams calls "friends in my head"...if only by osmosis or our imagination.

Colombian pop singer and songwriter, Juanes, will get to rumba in Havana, Cuba this Sunday, Sept. 20th at 2pm ET. The great news is that we can all enjoy this historical concert live on the web at www.yahoo-pazsinfronteras.com. On stage, Juanes will be joined by some talented latin musicians like Olga Tañón, Miguel Bosé and Víctor Manuel, among others.
Juanes has gotten a lot of heat in recent days, even death threats, for organizing this peace concert on Cuban soil. The singer stresses that Paz Sin Fronteras is not about politics but about "humanity...peace...love".
It's very brave for him to head to the island...and about time that someone had the pelotas to do it. No matter how you feel about Fidel/Raul Castro and their politics, the truth is that the Cuban people have paid a really high price because of political issues. If only for one day, Cubans won't be so isolated...and we, in the U.S., will be able to share the excitement on the web (thank goodness for technology). I'm also curious to see what the island looks like in 2009. Hopefully, this will be a step in the right direction where we can get to know one another. Listen, if we can do business in China...I think we can befriend the Cuban people.
What do you make of Juanes' concert in Havana?

I realize that many of you have already seen "Julie & Julia"...but if you haven't seen this movie, go see it. I finally made it to the theater this evening and all I can say is that Meryl Streep is great in this flick. Does she ever get it wrong? As an actress, I think she's in a category of her own...and I'm not exaggerating. Streep has such a gift of embodying a character that she'll be sure to transport you on her journey. This film is no exception.
I can't say I relate all that much to Julia Child. I'm no master in the kitchen and I can't say I've even attempted to poach an egg on my own. Ruds can attest to that. I'm more of a girly who cooks because we have to nourish our bodies, although I LOVE eating. I have mastered though...turkey burgers...but judging by the eye-roll they sometimes get from a hubby who'll eat just about anything, maybe I should switch up my menu a bit. I'll have to study Julia Child's cookbook or take some notes from Giada (my kinda girl) to expand my skills in the kitchen. I'll keep you posted on how that goes.
As far as Julie Powell, I have some things in common with her. She's still a blogger (like Julie, I get very excited when I get new comments on my blog...so please feel free to share your 2 cents with me), a Queens girl (unlike her, I'm proud of that) who's married to a man who supports all her ventures (I'm sooo lucky in this arena!) and a thirtysomething writer trying to make sense of her circumstances. The latter must be part of the ever-growing process...and I welcome it.
Can you relate to either Julie or Julia?

Okay Guys, With great pleasure, I'd like to introduce you to my good buddy, Faye Hughes. She's my writing partner, my friend, my critique partner (among others) and a partner to a lot of my crimes. As a computer guru, she talks me down from all the computer ledges that I manage to get myself on. She's also nuttier than a giant slab of peanut brittle. Which explains why we are such good friends. She is, as we say in the south, a real hoot. Together we wrote, The Everything Guide to Writing A Romance Novel, which was just released this week. She is also the author of seven romance novels, two of which were optioned for TV movies. (Yeah, the girl can also write fiction.) Take it away, Faye. ~Crime Scene Christie
They say hindsight is everything. I have a tendency to agree because, looking back on my March 2007 flight to New York City, I realize how close I came to ending up on the "No Fly" list along with suspected terrorists and other "persons of interest."
You see, I was flying from Syracuse to La Guardia, where I was going to meet Christie Craig, my critique partner and new writing partner for non-fiction in the baggage claims area. I was totally excited, if a little sleep-deprived. You see, Christie and I had talked on the phone daily but we hadn't met in person yet, and the PASIC conference in NYC was going to be our chance to get better acquainted.
So, I lugged my too-large-for-carryon suitcase from the long-term parking garage and checked it in with the skycap, then headed inside the terminal at Syracuse's Hancock Airport. I made my way through the security checkpoint and arrived at my gate about an hour early. I really needed coffee, but before I could grab a cup, they announced that the flight from Syracuse to LaGuardia was boarding.
WTF? I mean, you'd think somebody would have told me that the flight was leaving an hour early. Still, I grabbed my boarding pass and got in line. It was a small plane. Getting small planes balanced can be a challenge, so people rarely end up sitting in their assigned seats. As for me, well, my seat didn't even exist. I had an "F" and there were no "F" seats. I asked the flight attendant who looked at me as if I was the last thing she wanted to deal with that morning. Hey, I don't' blame her. After all, she had bigger problems, like getting the plane balanced. She told me to sit anywhere. And I did and less than an hour later, I was in LaGuardia. But still no coffee.
No problem, I decided. Christie was supposed to meet me in my baggage claims area and since her flight got there earlier than mine, we would probably be able to get out of the airport and to the hotel a lot earlier than we'd expected. We could grab some lunch and, yes! Coffee!
It was a great plan. Only, my suitcase never made its way around the luggage turnstile with the rest of everyone else's luggage. Crap, I thought. Now what? First, they assigned me to a seat number that didn't exist and now I had no luggage.
Now, by this point, I'm sure a lot of you know what happened but, honestly, it took me another 20 minutes before I figured out that I'd taken the wrong flight to LaGuardia. (If you're wondering why I didn't check the flight numbers, hey, it was all I could do to find the right gate number. I seriously needed coffee that morning.)
Anyway, I figured my suitcase would arrive on the next flight, so I started calling Christie on her cell. According to her last email, her flight should have arrived. But Christie's cell was heading straight to voicemail. (A quick bit of info about Christie, she always carries her cell phone when she travels but she rarely ever remembers to turn it on. It wouldn't be so bad if she could remember how to access her new messages but, hey, that's a blog for a different time.)
So, there I was, settled in on a bench in the empty baggage claims area, waiting for Christie and my luggage.
Christie got there before my suitcase. I knew it was her when I first laid eyes on her. A small blonde woman in a hat dragging two large suitcases on wheels that were bigger than she was. She got to the turnstile, saw me sitting on the bench and smiled. "Hello," she said.
I smiled back and said, "Hi, Christie."
The look on her face was priceless.
You see, I'd seen pictures of her but all she'd seen of me was an old author photo on some of my out-of-print paperbacks. And the hair color was different.
Anyway, Christie nods and asks, "Faye?"
Okay, I couldn't resist. I said, "Nope."
She started to look worried then. She even glanced from side to side, to see if there were any security guards nearby. But no luck for Christie. It was just the two of us.
She said, "Um" or "Uh" and I could just see the wheels in her head spinning. Who was I? How did I know her name? And probably most important of all, Why the hell had I agreed to meet Faye at her baggage claims when we didn't fly in on the same airline?
I started to giggle then, and that's when she started seriously looking for security, but I quickly confessed that I was Faye.
Then she said, "But your plane's not supposed to be here for another half hour."
"Yeah, and did you know cell phones don't work unless you turn them on?" We had a good laugh. Now, let's flash forward a few hours. That night at the hotel, I received a call from Travelocity. He was very nice but he sounded just like the Travelocity gnome they have in the TV commercials. Anyway, he told me I'd taken the wrong flight and he wanted to make certain I took the right return flight. "Very naughty," he said. "Naughty, naughty." (You try not to burst out laughing at that kind of dialogue. I mean, the Travelocity gnome was chastising me.
Then he made me write down the info and I hung up. I joked to Christie that TSA should contract the Travelocity gnome to handle security. I mean, he had busted me about the wrong flight and nobody at the airline figured it out. "But that voice," I said. "Very naughty?" I nearly fell off my chair laughing.
I guess I was a little disrespectful of the gnome because at 7:00 the next morning, a guy from "hotel security", dressed in one of those MIB type black suits, unlocked the door to our hotel room and came in to give us our personal "wake up call."
Only we hadn't requested a "wake up call." Personal or otherwise.
And when we called down to the front desk to ask about it, they told us that hotel security never unlocks and enters a guest's room to deliver a wake up call.
I figure I learned a valuable lesson that day. Okay, maybe a couple of them. First, always drink coffee before flying, or before boarding a flight. And two, never make fun of the Travelocity gnome. He may seem inanimate and cute but if he calls your hotel room to tell you that you've been 'naughty', you'd best be respectful, or you might end up with a MIB type in a suit in your hotel room the next morning for a non-requested wake up call.
Respect the gnome. Seriously. Always respect the gnome.

This summer Ali wanted to go and spend it with Grandma, Stacey and Tony. She left soon after school was out. We met Stacey in Blyth and she is visiting for a while during the summer. She is having fun swimming, watching tv, running on the treadmill, going to dinner with Stacey and Tony, working on art projects, visiting the library and doing whatever else she wants. We miss her but are glad she can be having fun there.

We live in a world today which represents a diverse group of people. As an employee, you will work with people from various backgrounds. As an employer, how much do you value diversity in the workplace? While you may be unsure of hiring candidates based on this notion, having employees who bring unique perspectives and ideas to the table could benefit your business.
To help explore these issues, College Recruiter is hosting a College Recruiting Bootcamp on LGBT and other diversity hiring issues on Tuesday, September 29th at the Twilio headquarters in San Francisco. Join us.
Prior to that event, we'll publish the opinions from a number of talent acquisition and recruiting leaders about why and how employers should diversify their workforces. In today's article, Greg Odegard discusses why Michigan Technological University believes that it is important for students to learn the importance of working in diverse teams. (more…)
If you would like to learn about entry level jobs in mechanical engineering, the following post has information to assist your job search.
The new mechanical engineers find the entry level mechanical engineering jobs as boons for expanding and enlightening their career with success and financial profits.

If you have graduated from college in 2013 with a technical degree, you may be earning one of the top salaries in the job market.
Technical majors, especially those in engineering, head the list of top-paid majors for the Class of 2013, according to a new report by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).
NACE's September 2013 Salary Survey found that seven engineering majors are among the 10 highest-paid at the bachelor's-degree level. (more…)
May brings more than Memorial Day and Mother's Day. It is also when a whole slew of college graduates throw their caps in the air and then cross their fingers in the hopes they can find a job.
While competition for jobs may be stiff — the National Center for Education Statistics (nces.ed.gov, 2012) says more than 1.7 million bachelor's degrees were conferred in 2010-2011 alone — there is one group of students that could have little problem landing a position right out of school. Those students are engineering majors, and within the field, mechanical engineering grads are some of the most coveted. (more…)
Technical majors head the list of highest-paid majors for the college Class of 2013, according to a new report by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).
In particular, NACE's April 2013 Salary Survey—the first look at starting salaries for the Class of 2013—found that seven engineering majors are among the 10 top-paid for the college Class of 2013. (See Figure 1.)
"Engineering majors are consistently among the highest paid because the demand for them is so great," says Marilyn Mackes, NACE executive director. (more…)
Technical majors—particularly those in engineering—dominated the list of top-paying majors in 2012, according to a new report by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).
NACE's January 2013 Salary Survey found that six engineering majors were among the 10 highest-paid at the bachelor's-degree level. (more…)
The job market for college graduates continues to improve according to preliminary results from the NACE's Job Outlook 2013 survey.
The 12.2 percent projected increase in hiring of recent college graduates comes on top of the 9.5 increase seen in 2012. Part of the strength in the 2013 numbers is due to only eight percent of employers planning to hire fewer graduates, the lowest number seen since 2007.
The degrees most in demand are: (more…)
Are you wondering where to find top paying careers once you graduate?
A college degree can make quite a difference in students' future salaries, especially if they choose a high-paying field. (more…)

The Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Marpadi Veerappa Moily has taken initiative to speed up work on the Mangalore Special Economic Zone (MSEZ). There are complaints that the work on MSEZ was delayed due to improper road connectivity. A meeting should be held with the residents residing in the areas and the problems need to be solved within ten days, said Moily.
Moily was in Mangalore at a review meeting at the Deputy Commissioner's office on June 24. He said that discussions need to be held on providing jobs as well as rehabilitation packages to the people. Without the completion of the MSEZ project, it will not be possible to give jobs to those who have lost land.
Hence, cooperation of the public is required, if they want employment, Moily said. There are plans to give connection to two port cities— Mangalore and Chennai through Bangalore under 'Green Field Highway Corridor. As Oscar Fernandes is the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, there are possibilities that the work might commence shortly, he said.
Moily, who is also from the same coastal Karnataka area, also spoke on construction of a tunnel to widen Shiradi Ghat road. The National Highway Authority of India along with a Japanese Company are presently carrying out a survey for the tunnel, he said.
