Anti depression drugs are a mode of treatment for depression, and the fact that these drugs are being prescribed and administered shows that this condition is clinical, and is more than just struggling with a bout of blues. It is a medical condition that is long-drawn-out, lasting two weeks or more, and gets in the way with an individual's capability to continue day by day responsibilities, and also to take pleasure in activities that formerly brought enjoyment.
The individual suffering from depression will seem poignant, exhibit impassiveness in his or her environment, experience trouble in eating and sleeping, may talk about feeling guilty, hopeless or worthless, may cry and may even attempt suicide.
Depression can range in strength from mild to severe. Anti depression drugs are utilized broadly for the case of severe depressions, but they are not limited for use in cases of mild depressions. Anti depression drugs, even though they are not stimulants, decrease depression symptoms and provide assistance to the individual to feel the way he or she did prior to succumbing to clinical depression.
Moreover, anti depression drugs are utilized for medical conditions characterized primarily by anxiety. These drugs work by blocking panic symptoms, including chest pain, dizziness, breathing problems and nausea. They can also be utilized in the management of phobias.
The huge numbers of anti depression drugs are not prohibited in some drug stores. With the majority of these drugs, it will take anywhere from one to three weeks before any observable changes start to take place. A few warning signs of depression may subside early in the management; others, later. For case in point, an individual's level of energy, eating or sleeping patterns may enhance prior to his or her depressed mood elevating. If there is no change in the warning signs after four to five weeks, a different cocktail of anti depression drugs may be prescribed.
On the other hand, the approved dosage of the anti depression drugs may be lowered if negative side effects become too bothersome. Dosage of these drugs differ, depending on the kind of drug, the individual's body weight, and age, as well as body chemistry. Dosages are usually started small and increased slowly over time until the preferred positive effects are achieved devoid of the appearance of upsetting negative side effects.
Depression can be a severe illness though controllable and manageable. The use of anti depression drugs are just one of the initial management models recommended by medical experts and some other therapies may also be put forward in treating depression.
There are lots of tips and other essential methods to help with depression, including talk therapy, exercise, depression medication, lifestyle choices and natural supplements. Learning about the treatments for depression will assist you in deciding what measures are probably to work well for your exacting condition and needs. There are no immediate fixes or immediate cures, but if you are keen to toil on yourself and stick with management, you will find yourself progressing out from under depression's silhouette more rapidly than you feel or think.
List of Treatments for Depression on the Subject of Lifestyle Change
Apart from these treatments, depression medication and other anti depression drugs may be the most publicized treatments for depression, but truthfully speaking, these models may not represent as being most efficient. In actual fact, depression is not just about an imbalance of chemicals present in the brain.
Medication may rally round to relieve a number of of the warning signs of mild, moderate and even severe depression, but it doesn't alleviate the causal crisis, and it is regularly not a long-standing resolution. Anti-depression drugs also come with a great number of negative side effects and general wellbeing concerns, and withdrawal can be extremely hard.
If you are taking depression medication, do not disregard other treatments for depression. Therapy and lifestyle modifications not only provide assistance in speeding recuperation from depression, but also endows a person with the necessary skills to assist in preventing a recurrence.
Mangosteen Juice contains antioxidants, anti-depression, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-tumor properties. Laboratories studies indicates that Pure Mangosteen Juice, as well as the rind and seeds of the Mangosteen Fruit possess naturally occurring substances which tweak chemical imbalances in the brain, including chemical imbalances which cause depression. In fact, one regular user of Mangosteen Juice had this to feedback:
"My son was diagnosed last year with Depression. During his 6th grade year our pediatrician prescribed an anti-depressant. We started with a low dose, increasing weekly. Someone suggested that Brandon try mangosteen juice. I had never heard of it, but we tried it anyways. Brandon felt better after just a few days. I didn't notice a difference until a few weeks later. Brandon started completing his school work and homework. He was also helping around the house. We slowly decreased the anti-depressant medication until he was completely off of it. Brandon takes [Mangosteen Juice] twice a day and he is getting good grades and is back to his happy, energetic self."
Mary Beth from California
The anti depression properties of Mangosteen Juice are capable of neutralizing some of the upsetting chemicals in the brain that cause depression; incorporating anti-depression drugs alongside pure mangosteen juice may also be a good mix of treatment to work effectively in combating depression, since mangosteen juice has no contraindications. Aside from that, engaging in lifestyle changes and specific therapies are also good treatments for depression.
On the other hand, the powerful antioxidants found in the Xanthones, together with the other numerous beneficial compounds found in Mangosteen Juice, has shown in numerous cases to provide assistance in boosting the immune system of a depressed person. This juice also promotes sleeping and good eating habits, as these habits are primarily affected during the occurrence of depression. Therefore, incorporating Mangosteen Juice, anti-depression drugs and other treatment modalities can present a united front in the fight against depression.
In conclusion, depression is treatable as long as a person follows established and well researched treatments for depression, as well as drinking the original Mangosteen Juice on a regular basis.

• The book tries to be relevant but it is hard to follow sometimes. It is not a one size fits all for all levels, but that may be a positive for some readers. The book seems geared for a very particular type of person who wants fast answers .
• I believe this is a book aimed at newcomers or novices, with some solid reference material. It does not seem to be a comprehensive guide, but that may also be a positive

White Spots on Throat: Causes, Treatments and Home Remedies
For instance, it is not advisable to use antibacterial soap or lotions unless you are a doctor. Constant removal of the layer of normal bacteria from your hands can lead to immune disorders. Instead of being protected against the majority of infections, your body can become extremely weak and vulnerable. Thus, you shouldn't use such products without a particularly serious reason.
The same thing is true while speaking about the place you are living. It is really essential to clean your flat or house with water and detergents on a regular basis. Still, you shouldn't become extremely pedantic spending the majority of your spare time with a washcloth soaked into harsh chemicals. Remember, you will never be able to create sterile conditions at home whereas other bacteria are important for appropriate functioning of our bodies.
If you are so concerned about the cleanness, you'd better avoid the places with air-conditioners. In point of fact, many people like the opportunity of switching hot temperature to more pleasant one, although there are many individuals who do not think about cleaning the filters of this equipment. This can be a rather big mistake.
The majority of microorganisms which are located in the room, get into these filters and stay there all the time. In addition to it, many conditioners throw these bacteria and fungi back to the room with cold air. You should remember about the fact that air-conditioners can become real factories of microorganisms if not cleaned regularly.
Another reasonable point concerning hygiene is the use of public toilets. Of course, the best thing you can do is to avoid such places as there one can find all possible species of bacteria, fungi, viruses and yeasts. Still, if you need to visit this room, it is important to remember several tips.
For instance, bear in mind the fact that it will be better for you to wipe your hands with paper towels rather than with a dryer. The majority of dryers are working in the same way as air-conditioners. Obviously, the difference is that in there are far more harmful bacteria in the toilet than in a shop or library.
It is also reasonable to avoid using solid soap in such places. It may seem strange as soap is usually associated with cleanness but it actually is a breeding spot of all the bacteria and viruses which have been on the hands of all the people who have used this soap bar. Thus, being in some public places, it will be wise to use exclusively liquid soap.
Avoid Pollutants
You have already learnt about the importance of avoiding various pollutants. You should really remember of using harsh detergents or other chemicals wisely. For instance, any time you want to apply some bleaching product on the surface, it is important to try to stop breathing while being exposed to these chemicals.
It is really extremely crucial since many home detergents have chlorine. Being exposed to such products may lead to intoxication. As a result, you may get severe rash of acne which can also be found on your throat.

Your customers will make their choice in just a few seconds:
- « Am I going to buy a sandwich in this establishment? »
- « Which sandwich would I like to eat? »
Two visual elements will play a key role in this decision-making process: the bread (how fresh it is, its shape, how premium it is, etc.) and the ingredients that make up the fillings.
1- So your sandwiches' fillings must be visible and look appetising. Make the filling burst out slightly so that the ingredients are all visible at a glance.
2- Also, take care to ensure your sandwiches are filled right to the ends: consumers particularly remember their first impression (first bite) and their last impression (last bite)!

"(3) Q: How Should Greece Balance Its Spending on Imports and Its Exports Going Forward?If Germany actually went for fiscal expansion (or even monetary) and more demand for goods and services, including a few Greek ones (more olive oil, and a few more sunny vacations) it would not lead to inflation. Unless somebody thinks Germany is close to full capacity and growing fast. Why Keynesians have accepted the inflation expectations fairy is beyond me!
A: Borrowing to cover the gap between imports and exports that exists at current exchange rates and price and wage levels is not going to happen, so Greece has a choice between (a) deep prolonged depression to make Greeks too poor to afford imports, (b) Grexit, devaluation, and a subsequent export boom, and (c ) Germans opening up the monetary spigots to produce higher inflation in northern Europe and meanwhile giving Greece an additional fortune to keep the pain in Greece low enough for adjustment to take place within the Eurozone framework (emphasis added)."

Can we stop talking about inflation when we mean output growth?
5 comments:
I think the answer is going to be No. The assumption that, apart from depressions and/or liquidity traps, the economy can be considered as operating at aggregate supply-determined full employment is pretty central to the New Keynesian project. If DeLong agreed that increased demand in e.g. Germany will normally increase real output, he'd have to admit that everything his grad students learn in first year macro is useless and wrong.ReplyDeleteReplies
The acceptance of the Friedmanian natural rate, the supply side limit, is the reason why New Keynesians look more like followers of Friedman than Keynes. Sad, but true, it is central to their project.Delete
"If Germany actually went for fiscal expansion ... it would not lead to inflation."ReplyDelete
This is true, but it's not what DeLong is saying - in his post the causality runs the other way. You're absolutely right about what would happen if Germany increased *fiscal* stimulus, but that's not how monetary stimulus works.
The ECB can make any level of inflation a reality, instantly, by simply committing to print the right number of euros for as long as it likes. This would lead to greater growth (as per DeLong's comment) by relieving the real debt burden on individuals and governments while simultaneously stimulating the spending-down of cash stockpiles (which we know are quite large). Because the problem is an excess demand for nonexistent money (Walras' Law), it can in fact be solved simply by printing more money.
This is *not* a fairy because it has nothing to do with convincing people of something without action. The confidence fairy is a fairy because it depends on changing the expectations of a whole group to an alternative equilibrium without actually altering the facts on the ground. There is no equivalent here. The policy relies on expectations, sure, but it is no fairy because there is no magic - it is actually changing the equilibria, not trying to jump us from one to another.

Wow the monetarist dogmatists really are fervent, aren't they?
I reckon the Fed has "printed" quite a few dollars since 2008; funny about the inflation.
the problem is an excess demand for nonexistent money (Walras' Law), it can in fact be solved simply by printing more money.
More dogmatism. In a depression, expectations of the return on real investment have settled at a lower level, which may be correct given the lower expectations of other businesses. (I.e. there may be multiple equilibria.) In such a situation, it's perfectly possible to have unemployment and output below capacity, with all markets, including that for money, clearing.Replies
Blue line is monetary base; red line is expected inflation as measured by the 10-year TIPS spread. Inflation is right where the Fed wants it, at about 2%, and when it crashed below that number in 2008 they dragged it right back. (Although other reports from Wednesday disagree about future expectations: http://uneasymoney.com/2012/06/20/the-fomc-kicks-the-can-down-the-road/).
And with Treasuries at the lowest rates, like, ever (one-month rates have been stuck at zero for three years: http://research.stlouisfed.org/fredgraph.png?g=8bY), I can't really see how to make the case that the money market is clearing.

Advertising Boost states they can allow you to double or triple your earnings, by simply giving away their free vacation packages.|} free vacation checklist
Sounds cool. But because you're reading this, you are probably skeptical. If this is so, I really don't blame you personally, there's a good deal of scams online. So it is best to do your own homework.
Within this review, I will show you exactly what I found so that you might decide on your own.
Advertising Boost Review
The Advertising Boost site (AdvertisingBoost.com) claims it is possible to double or triple your earnings using their services. In spite of the kind of business you operate and no matter what business you operate inside.
As a consequence, you get access to complimentary vacation packages, which you may then provide to your existing customers or potential clients.
So for example you can provide a free holiday/vacation to anyone who enjoys your small business page on Facebook, opts to a email list, starts a free trial of your service or merchandise or makes a purchase.
Whatever type of"guide" or sale you want, the person would meet whatever activities you require, to access this free vacation package.
So does this sort of marketing do the job?
Yes. Offering holiday incentives is a proven approach to build your business.
Consider this. Who does not need a free vacation, just for sharing your article… or boosting your FB page?
However, the question is, why would be Advertising Boost the perfect way to benefit your clients?
Let us learn more.
Advertising Boost is a subscription-based holiday incentives program, employing a cost of $49 per month.
The retail value of those vacations is apparently anywhere from $585 to $1,500 and the hotels are apparently good grade.
What is the catch?
To start with, there is a limit of one certificate redemption per customer for traveling in America and a single redemption away from the United States.
Secondly, the visitor must pay the resort taxation, which ends up to a max of $19.70 daily based on this site… and potentially resort fees.
Apart from that there are apparently"no strings attached".|}
Unlike some holiday bonus suppliers, recipients do not have to attend any sales or timeshare presentations.|}
Aside from the bundles themselves, members gain access to promotion materials. Such as company specific videos that will assist you sell people on the thought.
There is also a bonus known as"Ultimate Facebook Secrets" free of charge. That is apparently a 6 hour step by step instruction about utilizing Advertising Boost to crush it using Facebook advertising.
All this appears to be a fantastic thing. I mean, $49 per month is cheap compared to what other sites charge for this kind of stuff.
How It Works
To begin with Advertising Boost, all you need to do would be sign up on their site for $49/mo.
There are no contracts and you may cancel at any given moment.|}
The moment you are a member, you must begin giving away free vacation bundles to pretty much whomever you would like.
The Process apparently requires less than 30 minutes too:
When you adhere to the aforementioned activities to send someone a free vacation, the person has 7 days to activate the vacation certificate. And around 18 months then, to opt for the dates they'd really like to travel.
We help fill vacant rooms that the hotels, hotels turn into further revenue from different regions of their house and future reservations.
Hotels are rarely ever completely filled and it is Much Better to have a few earnings coming in (through room service, restaurant and bars, resort prices etc.. ) Than nothing in any way.
So this notion works because everybody benefits in 1 way or another. The receiver gets a free (or very low cost ) excursion, it is likely to raise earnings and the resort makes more income than if the area was empty.
So… which makes sense.
I personally signed up to an affiliate recently, and already made earnings… so Im now a believer!!
From what I could see, Advertising Boost isn't a scam.|}
Interested In Being An Affiliate?
free vacation checklist
***NEW*** Adverting Boost provides a 7 day free trial!! |}
They also have additional DINING GURU which permits you to provide Restaurant Vouchers (and other Vouchers) through the USA and Canada.
In the end, anyone who purchases the yearly Strategy (Gold Membership) will likely be PAID to send people to holiday!!
Here is the commission plan:
Monthly Mexico Activations
1-10 = $7
11-24 = $10
Over 24 = $15
Monthly Europe & Asia Activations
1-10 = $5
11-24 = $7
Over 24 = $10
Monthly US Activations
1-10 = $3
11-24 = $5
Over 24 = $7
Advertising Boost is a promotion incentive application that costs $49 per month and gives you access to complimentary holiday incentives. That you can subsequently use to help develop your company in 1 way or another.
How good the packages are and how they will do the job for you, is something only you can figure out for yourself… but like I stated earlier, I've already made sales|}
I figure one way to find, is to sign up, go out on a vacation of your own, see how things shake out. If nothing else, you get a fairly fantastic bargain on a hotel stay!!
This way, you understand just what people will be getting for this, before beginning a marketing campaign and putting your name behind it.
Don't be afraid to talk about your own personal experiences with Promotion Boost.

Way too often I have been finding myself having mild panic attacks and the cause of them has been mainly about my future. The year of 2017 has been filled with feelings of anxiousness, self-doubt, fear and just feeling stuck. Some days these feelings can spiral out of control, leaving me feeling hopeless and a mess but I fully understand that this isn't healthy so I've been practicing ways to live above it, usually these attacks end with a deep breath and a note to myself saying "Girl, you'll be alright."
In your 20s, there is so much pressure to have it together. Daily I have to remind myself that I'm only 22 and I have more than enough time to accomplish all of the things I want to accomplish but it's challenging keeping that perspective. I try my best not to compare myself to anyone but I'm always questioning when my time will come. Everything that I want right now isn't going to come now and maybe no time soon so my best bet is to trust the process and be grateful for this journey. These days instead of being so hard on myself, I'm putting my energy towards setting personal goals and living in the now. Here are some ways of how I cope when I feel my spirit breaking and I need some clarity.
Some days negativity will cloud your mind and its okay, write everything you feel down and trust me your head will be a lot more clearer. It also helps you to better understand what you may be going through at the moment. Plus, writing down your goals and exactly how you're going to achieve them forces you to commit.
Living in the now & trusting the process.
Living in the now can be challenging because you're either obsessing over something of the past and wondering what went wrong or what you could of done differently. And on the other hand you're anxious about the future, anticipating what's to come next and wondering when things will change. It's draining and distracting to be so wrapped up in those thoughts when you can focus on the now and appreciate the things that's preparing you for the future.
Make a motivational playlist
Music mostly always improve my mood. I have a special playlist with all the songs that get me together when I'm lacking motivation. So, make a playlist of all the songs that motivates you and turn it on when you feel yourself drowning.
Practice self-love and take care of yourself
My main priority has been to maintain a healthy mind which is a full-time job for me. I'm still figuring this out but my go-to for taking care of myself is meditating, clearing out toxic feelings and protecting my energy. Self-care can be anything from treating yourself, taking a deep breath or even binge watching a show. Just remember to take some time for you because when you are well, everything around you will follow.
Keep the faith
My faith has been the biggest component that has helped me in this journey. Knowing that I am going to be okay, keeps me going. You never know, like J. Cole said "keep grinding, your life can change in one year" so keeping the faith can get you to your destination.
Hope this was beneficial for anyone that can relate and remember that you will be alright.
Stay tuned for additional post on self-care.

Lillian Burkart has spent decades researching and refining the piccolo. The widely acclaimed Burkart piccolo sets industry standards and is played in many of the world's top orchestras.
In concert with James Phelan, Ms. Burkart continues to apply precise and technically advanced methods to the crafting of piccolos. From the selection and aging of the finest woods to the tooling of keys and mechanisms and, finally, to the careful voicing of each instrument, every Burkart piccolo is unsurpassed in tone and playability.
All Lillian Burkart piccolos are handmade in the USA.
The Burkart Elite Piccolo:
Every Burkart Elite piccolo is made of vintage African grenadilla wood, finished with a sterling silver mechanism and a choice of headjoint. This signature Burkart instrument is coupled with a split-E mechanism, exclusive options including the High G# facilitator, and three headjoint choices for the musician. The tone hole design gives a dark, aged quality to the sound of the instrument.
Elite Deluxe Model:
The Deluxe model features an upgrade to French-style pointed arms attaching the cups of all closed-hole keys.
High G# Facilitator:
Another Burkart innovation, the high G# facilitator eliminates the need to use two right-hand fingers to assist in the production of a high G#. Unlike prior European facilitators, this design does not inhibit the production of high C—it is activated automatically when the player fingers G#. The split key Burkart design is a unique and important benefit to the piccolo player with no loss of high C production.
Multi-Trill Key:
This mechanism allows for an effortless, one-finger G3 to A3 trill as well as many functions of the C# trill key.

US citizens do not elect the president. The electoral college elects the president. It is the States who decide the president. The people only vote in an advisory manner. It is possible, and its happened several times, where the president elected by the people is not elected by the electoral college and placed in office. The last example of this was when Bush and Gore ran against each other in 2000. Bush had 50,456,002 votes and Gore had 50,999,897. The Office of the President is not designed to represent the people of the US. The Office of the President is designed to represent the collective of the States.
Even though nearly every politician, teacher, journalist and citizen believes that our Founders created a democracy, it is absolutely not true. The Founders knew full well the differences between a Republic and a Democracy and they repeatedly and emphatically said that they had founded a republic.
Article IV Section 4, of the Constitution "guarantees to every state in this union a Republican form of government".... Conversely, the word Democracy is not mentioned even once in the Constitution. Madison warned us of the dangers of democracies with these words,
"Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths...",
"We may define a republic to be ... a government which derives all its powers directly or indirectly from the great body of the people, and is administered by persons holding their offices during pleasure for a limited period, or during good behavior. It is essential to such a government that it be derived from the great body of the society, not from an inconsiderable proportion or a favored class of it; otherwise a handful of tyrannical nobles, exercising their oppressions by a delegation of their powers, might aspire to the rank of republicans and claim for their government the honorable title of republic." James Madison, Federalist No. 10, (1787)
"A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men." Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
Our military training manuals used to contain the correct definitions of Democracy and Republic. The following comes from Training Manual No. 2000-25 published by the War Department, November 30, 1928.
A government of the masses.
Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of "direct" expression.
Results in mobocracy.
Attitude toward property is communistic--negating property rights.
Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether is be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences.
Results in demogogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.
Authority is derived through the election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them.
Attitude toward law is the administration of justice in accord with fixed principles and established evidence, with a strict regard to consequences.
A greater number of citizens and extent of territory may be brought within its compass.
Avoids the dangerous extreme of either tyranny or mobocracy.
Results in statesmanship, liberty, reason, justice, contentment, and progress.
Is the "standard form" of government throughout the world.
The manuals containing these definitions were ordered destroyed without explanation about the same time that President Franklin D. Roosevelt made private ownership of our lawful money (US Minted Gold Coins) illegal. Shortly after the people turned in their $20 gold coins, the price was increased from $20 per ounce to $35 per ounce. Almost overnight F.D.R., the most popular president this century (elected 4 times) looted almost half of this nation's wealth, while convincing the people that it was for their own good

The United States. Democratic status. Was the source of the controversy at Valley Forge. The founding fathers were democratic. The people who wanted a republic almost starved the entire American army out to prove their point. Then it was set up as a democracy for the people and Thomas Jefferson ended up speaking a lot about it. Then these losers called the puratins came in, representing the republic (big businesses). They fought for almost 100 years to reverse the constitution and all the equal rights stuff. Now you see it, they still try to make it a nazi or king james state. But most of what they have done is public. Because of their joker mentality, now many huge financial industry based entities have more power then people and actually contradict what America stands for. America is supposed to be a democracy, but because of the corrupt idiots who took unrestrained actions. Some things like the federal government. Even though they are a corporation. As a ruling body. It's just a mish mash of good people and dirty people who support business over people.

Id say that the US is no more a great democracy than anyone else. My knowledge of the process seems to suggest that though candidates for office can come from walk of life, its highly unlikely that anyone outside the mainstream political establishment with pots of money will ever succeed in gaining
high office. In the US money buys political influence which to me isn't denudes the democratic process and adds a layer of corruption by dollar influence.

Since democracy arrived in ancient Greece where three thousand slaves existed to every voter, and since democracy is controlled by party managers in the style of a vast corporation and by vested interests, yes, the USA seems to be the most remarkable form of 'democracy' ever known to mankind. Some say it should be exported to other countries.
I think democracy is moonshine.

The world's tech giants are busy working on self-driving cars, but they're overlooking a much simpler solution: cars driven by dogs.
This is a great idea! Just watch Daisy the dog chauffeuring her human pal Oliver – doesn't it look like a safe and convenient way to get around?
Further R and D is needed before canine-directed automobiles take over our roads: Daisy's owner Jessica Wolf admits the car's brakes and acceleration are guided by a remote control… but Daisy is doing all the steering herself, which isn't a bad start.

Joel Thomas Hynes
Joel Thomas Hynes, the voice and songwriter behind the album Dead Man's Melody, is perhaps better known as a novelist, screenwriter and actor. His fiction has been celebrated internationally, translated into numerous languages, and adapted to the big screen and stage alike. His most recent novel, We'll All Be Burnt in Our Beds Some Night, won the 2017 Governor General's Award for Fiction. Hynes is also the creator, executive producer and star of the hit CBC comedy series Little Dog, which premiered to rave reviews in March of 2018. But aside from writing books and making movies and guest starring in TV shows like Orphan Black, Frontier and Mary Kills People, he's also been working hard over the years as a singer-songwriter. He's broken up a few bands, toured and wrote songs with his late uncle, acclaimed folksinger Ron Hynes, and has had his music featured in numerous films and TV shows. His song Boot Heels and Shine was a national finalist for the 2015 CBC Searchlight Competition. In 2015 he also released a four song EP of original music – JTH Live at the LSPU Hall.
Dead Man's Melody, his first full length studio album, liberally exploits Hynes's vast experience as a storyteller and actor and can be described as a theatrical, character-driven, roots-rock album that spins a brazen tale of doomed love and murder which culminates in a SWAT Team standoff with bullhorns blaring and choppers in the air.

Copy Cats
Those who act try to look like, sound like and talk like their spiritual hero's. They mimic them in appearance, word and deed, but they are not walking their truth. They live in the dream of another and have made it their own.To be aware is to walk your path into your consciousness and to discover your truth in awareness, not another's. It is a solitary experience that is not duplicated in the same way for every soul. Awareness is an individual experience, acting is a technique copied from others and a deception in comparison to individual awareness.

For a writer and lover of literature, few pursuits are as engaging as the literary pilgrimage. Seeing the physical place where a favorite author lived and worked can get the imagination fired in a new way, inspiring frenetic activity of one's own—if a writer is open to it. I heartily endorse such pilgrimages as a new way of "seeing".
Only trip to London with a group of Arcadia University freshmen last month, I spent the morning of our "free day" visiting the Charles Dickens Museum in Bloomsbury, located handily between the British Library and the British Museum. Lucky for me, I was able to walk to the four-story brownstone from my hotel which meant I could bask in the neighborhood's famed literary ambiance as well. Dickens lived here only from 1837 to 1839, but it is the sole surviving home of the author, housing the world's most important collection of material relating to the novelist—over 100,000 items.
The years he lived at 48 Doughty Street were a happy and highly productive period of Dickens' life. The visitor gets the sense of the 25-year-old man Dickens was when he moved in: a young husband with a first baby and another on the way, busy establishing his fame, juggling his work as a novelist, editor, and playwright—and reveling in his success. As with any life, shades of darkness overshadowed his days in the house as well. It was here that Dickens' beloved sister-in-law, Mary Hogarth, died on May 7, 1837 after a short illness. She was only 17 years old, yet Dickens was so attached to Mary that he couldn't finish his installment of The Pickwick Papers for a period after her death. He was to mourn her for 30 years. Visitors can inspect her eerily gauze-draped bed in a rear bedroom on the second floor.
In fact, most of the rooms in the house are decorated with period furniture that recalls the way the house would have looked when Dickens lived there. A museum since 1935, there is a dusty, non-pristine quality to the house that further sets the mood. Gazing from the third floor front bedroom that was Dickens' and his wife Catherine's, the visitor sees the street view that he saw each morning and feels embraced by the four walls that once contained his busy life—not unlike our own modern-day complicated lives of living and writing.
It was from this house that Dickens began his life-long habit of walking the streets of London for inspiration—a superb pre-writing technique that killed more than two birds with one stone: he escaped the busy household, took exercise, and worked out his plot kinks all in one fell swoop. He wrote both The Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist during this period and his terrific energy was said to be palpable. In her superb biography Charles Dickens (2002, Viking Penguin), Jane Smiley writes: "At a pace of twelve to fifteen minutes per mile, he regularly covered twenty and sometimes thirty miles. Returning, as his brother-in-law said, 'he looked the personification of energy, which seemed to ooze from every pore as from some hidden reservoir…'" (23).
There's a lesson to be learned there for all writers. We need to get away from our desks and our busy lives to gain inspiration regularly. I like to think of Charles Dickens striding out from his house at 48 Doughty Street and into the nighttime streets of London, his observant eyes cast at each shadow, finding inspiration for his characters at every turn as he made plans to weave the changing panorama that is London into the pages of his novels. Not a bad way to breathe life into "story" for any of us.

In flying trapeze, the ultimate outcome is to build a higher swing. A higher swing means you can do bigger tricks. The more height a flyer has when coming off the trapeze bar, the more time she has in the air to do multiple twists and flips before landing in the arms of the catcher or hitting the net.
Like golfers, trapeze artists are always working on their swing. One crucial factor in a strong swing is to keep your legs straight.
I have a bad habit of bending my knees.
I tend to do this most when I'm trying to generate power and height, even though I know that the power in the swing comes from keeping my legs straight.
Power Down to Power Up
Using less "power," but keeping my legs straight, is actually more powerful — more effective — in building height.
Of course, knowing and doing are not the same thing. It's harder to break a habit than to create a habit.
I am determined to break the habit of bending my knees in my swing.
The only time I come close to swinging with straight legs is when I do my warm-up swing at the start of each practice. That tells me that the place to start is with stripping away the "power" and practicing my warm-up swing while keeping my focus on straight legs.
At least once a year I do this for a few practices. I get some minor improvement, but then it's back to bending my knees.
Old habits die hard.
Last night, in a tent that was 95-degrees inside (hotter than the air temperature outside), felt like a good time to work on this drill. For the first time in 15 years of flying, I managed to get my body behind the bar without breaking (too much) at the knees.
Here's a screenshot from a video (this is from a video of the television screen we use for video review, so it's a little fuzzy):
Maybe it was the heat. Who knows?
It was a milestone moment.
As I walked through to the subway in the "cool" evening air (it was 90-degrees, but cooler than the circus tent), I reflected on my baby step of progress and how, once again, the theme of creation and destruction had shown up.
The Cycle of Creation and Destruction
To create a stronger and higher swing I have to remove the power and strip it down to the basics.
This is how life works in every area.
When something is not working, the best way to fix it is to strip it down and focus on the fundamentals. Focusing on the fundamentals helps us rebuild more effectively.
It's pretty simple, if you're willing to do it. What makes it complicated is the ego.
3 Fears That Keep Us From Letting Go
There are 3 major fears that keep us from letting go, even when we know it's time to destroy something.
(1) Fear of Loss
Loss aversion can trick us into holding onto something beyond its time. We often fear letting go of or destroying something, even when we know it's not working. A home. A relationship. A business. A job.
How can you leave it? What about everything you built?
This is a question that people ask from a place of fear.
If "everything you built" isn't working, then what have you really built?
If you actually built what you have now, then you know how to rebuild it. If you didn't built it yourself, then you can get help building it in a way that will make it work.
(2) Fear of Falling Behind
We might fear that tearing something down to rebuild it will cause us to "fall behind" our peers or behind where we "should" be at this stage in our lives.
One thing I love about flying trapeze is that it's an individual sport practiced in a group setting. A class accommodates 10 people. Each of us is progressing at our own pace. We learn from each other and support each other. But there is no "behind" or "ahead."
Each of us travels our own path. And there is no "should" on the path, because the path is not linear. It ebbs and flows. As you make progress in one thing, you have to fix other things to keep them aligned. This is a sport of 3 steps backward to take one step forward. Often, that step forward is a baby step.
This is how life works.
In real life, learning is not binary. You don't check things off and move on. You often relearn things from different perspectives and in different ways. Progress happens in cycles, not in straight line graphs.
(3) Fear of Quitting
We live in a culture that conditions us to believe that successful people don't quit. Pulling back feels like giving in. It feels like admitting defeat. It feels like failure.
It's not.
If you want to build a taller building, you have to knock down what's there and excavate before you build again. This creates a stronger foundation.
To build a higher swing requires stripping it back and focusing on the fundamentals.
This is true in every area of life.
Most people never reach their potential, never build what's truly possible, because they are afraid to give up what they have. They are afraid to give up their status, their comforts, their lifestyle, for the chance at creating something even more spectacular.
Regression is the First Step to Progress
It's the ultimate wisdom to understand that creation emerges from destruction.
This is literally the first rule of the universe: order emerges from chaos. Give up to gain. Let go to receive. You must step backwards to move forward.
Regression is not a prelude to progress; it's the first step of progress.

I installed DOS 6.22 in a multi-boot computer and have everything up and running...mouse, CD-ROM, DOS SHELL, connection to broadband, Arachne. Thinking about getting a Brother laser printer with LPT port and an LPT-to-PCI addin card. Looks like the one issue that may be insurrmountable though is sound. I have a motherboard with an ICH9R chipset. My understanding is that ICH6R or higher precludes any possibility of getting sound, irrespective of the sound card used. Is that pretty much it? Looking for sound as it relates to music, not games.
You could still possibly disable the onboard sound (assuming it has it) in the machines' BIOS, and add a card which has DOS-drivers available for it. Finding one may be difficult, but not out of the question. If the machine is multi-boot, then you'd need to find a way to implement specific drivers for the other OS(s) as well...
"Channeling the spirit of jboy..."
Hi Jaydub - when running dos programs you may experience problems with the sound, because so much of its support/control is within the dos program itself. (similar to printer drivers).
When written, these programs were often not forward compatible enough, and one finds certain elements do not work on later equipment.
I have experienced:-
sound not working
vga monitors not working as program supports cga or ega only.
program not working as too much memory
picture size on monitor too small
laser printers not supported
Possibly one could work around these if so inclined.
Good Luck - Keep us posted

D&A College Science Careers Conference Day
Dundee & Angus College Science Department organised a very successful Science Careers Conference Day on the 30th October. The event gave a good insight into the different career or further education pathways available to students studying science.
Dr Katie Paget from Dundee & Angus College opened the event and welcomed the first speaker Joanna Fry from the University of St Andrews followed by Shona Cooper a Biomedical Scientist based at Ninewells Hospital talking to students about all the different roles within the lab! Before we broke for a tea break, we heard from Liam Hayman a former D&A College student about his "wibbly, wobbly road to a PHD". It was great to hear a student perspective about the highs and lows of starting a career in science.
After the tea break, there were three more speakers: Natalie Sweeney gave students an insight into the overseas opportunities available studying at the University of Stirling; Dr Mhairi Towler CEO and Founder of Vivomotion talked about her journey of combining art and science and we heard from Professor Kim Dale from Dundee Uni's School of Life Sciences.
Did you know that if you do an undergraduate degree in Life Sciences you have the opportunity to take a year out and work in industry?
Students had a great opportunity to network, browse stalls and chat with the speakers one to one throughout the lunch break. After lunch, we heard from our final four speakers of the day. Dr Athina Tziboula-Clarke from Abertay University opened the second half of the Career Conference chatting to students about careers in Food Sciences.
Did you know that Scotland will need 19,000 new recruits by 2024 to meet the skill needs of the food and drink sectors.
Next was an inspiring and heartfelt presentation from Kim Morrison about how attending D&A College helped grow her confidence. Kim has since went on to complete an undergraduate degree in cell biology, a master's degree in cancer biology and now a PHD in medicine! Alex Combes from Scottish Water followed on from Kim who gave us a great overview of all the different jobs available within the company from water quality sampler to risk technician. The speaker to conclude the Science Career Conference Day was Dr Anne Savage, talking to students about Abertay Uni's Biomedical Science degree, which is an accredited programme from the Institute of Biomedical Sciences.
This was a jam-packed day full of interesting speakers from all different sectors and stages in their career which gave the college students a great overview of the different pathways available to them.

NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology for FY 2011 (Kenaley Christopher P)
A robotic fish head, developed by a pair of Harvard University scientists, faithfully models the feeding behavior of suction-generating fish. The robot isolates how components of complex muscular and skeletal systems contribute to feeding performance.
To generate suction, the fish expand their mouths through rapid movement of several complex, anatomical units in their head. Current understanding of this process is based on detailed anatomical descriptions and feeding experiments with live specimens. Because of the complexity of the anatomy and timing of movements, identifying the precise contribution of each unit or their principal parts remains elusive.
To find answers to these challenges, the Harvard researchers fabricated a robotic model of the head of a large-mouth bass. The robotic system permits precise control of important aspects of the model, including shape, range of motion and timing. "Bassbot" experiments reveal that expansion of the mouth floor accounts for over half the suction generated in a feeding event, a result that represents the first quantification of performance for an isolated unit in the fish head.
Studies using the head's mechanical units will reveal how some 30,000 species of fish acquire food.

, Heart Surgeon
Fairfax, VA
- Unregistered Surgeon
Patient Recommendations (1)
"Dr. Eric Sarin was very thorough in explaining the aortic valve procedure, and in allowing me to make the decision that the time was right to replace the valve. My results were outstanding. Dr. Sarin was able to do only a mid-sternal incision which made recovery much easier. When I had some unexpected bleeding a few hours after surgery (unknown to me, since I was still out of it), he kept in touch with my family and made sure they knew immediately that everything came out okay.

I don't know how many times I've been asked this question. "I bought a rudder after I got my Cuda, how do I install it?"
I used point out that there is instructions with the rudder system. I also make note of an installation video that someone made with a different kayak, the Big Tuna. Now, I have a much better answer, and this is straight from the Jackson Kayak factory
Between the instructions and this video, you should easily be able to install your rudder system on the Jackson Cuda kayaks. Still seem like too much? Give your local retailer a call, they can take care of it for you.
This was filmed in the factory, while they were building who-knows-how-many-other kayaks at the same time, so it gets noisy. I just wish that Blaze Orange Cuda was mine.

So every Wednesday, at 12pm sharp, David Cameron arrives in the chamber for the event that is Prime Minister's Questions (or PMQs). The weekly session has been described as a pantomime, charade and worse. For those who have tried to sit through it, it's not always clear how the event is meant to work and why they are shouting all the time.
So here I will try to explain, if not exactly why it is like it is, at least how it is meant to work.

This week has certainly been interesting in the world of professional wrestling. From Kenny Omega attacking Chris Jericho, to Vince McMahon's plans of relaunching the XFL finally being out in the open, it has been a wild ride.
However, one topic takes the cake, and a good deal of the whipped cream too. WWE's announcement of starting an all – female Royal Rumble match has got the world buzzing. Finally, the women's revolution has led to the fairer sex getting their thoroughly deserved due in the company.
Stephanie McMahon's announcement has reverberated not just through the WWE locker room, but everywhere around the world. The decades of handwork and perseverance of Superstars has finally paid off, and the women will get their own platform to showcase their talents in a month's time. The winner will face either the RAW Women's Champion, or the SmackDown Women's Champion at WrestleMania 34.
And just like the anticipation for the men's Rumble match builds going into the PPV, it will be interesting to see who participates in the women's Rumble match. Today, we take a look at five potential surprise entrants during the bout.
1. Shayna Baszler
Shayna recently signed a WWE contract, and has already made her way to NXT. The MMA veteran was initially tipped to win the Mae Young Classic, but with Baszler turning down an exclusive contract, WWE went ahead with Kairi Same to win the tournament.
However, Baszler is not expected to stay for a long period on NXT, and while she will still be on the NXT roster at least until WrestleMania, there is a good chance she might make her presence felt at the Royal Rumble – especially because of someone that will appear later on the list.
2. Nikki Bella
The former Divas Champion has taken time off from WWE TV, and while she still stars on Total Bellas, neither Nikki nor Brie have competed in WWE for some time. However, Nikki took to Twitter in support of the all – female Royal Rumble match, and subtly implied that she wouldn't be averse to participating in it.
Nikki suffered a serious neck injury couple of years ago, and underwent surgery. While that contributed to her taking time off from in – ring competition, she has been rumoured to make her return, and that can very well happen at the Royal Rumble.
3. Candice LeRae
Johnny Gargano's wife, Candice LeRae has been one of the best independent performers for years. One half of the 'World's Cutest Tag Team' along with Joey Ryan, Candice has broken the barriers on the independent scene, often wrestling against men, and was even involved in a bloody warfare!
Candice participated in the Mae Young Classic, and while she did not win the tournament, one might think it is only a matter of time before she signs with the promotion. Considering the fact that Gargano is currently performing on NXT, Candice would be a great addition to the NXT — or even the main roster.
4. Trish Stratus
The 7 – time WWE Women's Champion, and a bona fide Hall of Famer recently gave birth, but is still in incredible shape. Trish has kept herself fit all these years by practising yoga, and recently took to Twitter to express her interest in participating in the Royal Rumble.
Trish can do something Goldberg did, which is to return for a short period, win the title and put someone over at WrestleMania. Trish Stratus' retirement came out of nowhere, and the fans wouldn't be averse to seeing the former women's champion having one last run with the title.
5. Ronda Rousey debuting at the Royal Rumble
The biggest name of the lot is undoubtedly the former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion. Ronda lost her last fight to Amanda Nunes a year ago, and as things stand, her MMA career seems all but over.
'Rowdy' has always been a massive professional wrestling fan, idolising Roddy Piper. Ronda appeared at WrestleMania couple of years ago at WrestleMania 31, taking down Stephanie McMahon and Triple H. Stephanie has since expressed her interest in bringing Ronda to the WWE.
More recently, rumours have started making rounds about Ronda signing up with the company. If that were to happen, doing it at the Royal Rumble would lay the perfect platform, for Rousey to have a marquee match at WrestleMania next year.

Mike Mayo, a former colleague from Credit Suisse, is one of the few analysts that is brave enough to speak the truth about stocks. The smear campaigns that companies and Wall Street banks run on Mike for his candor are deplorable. After seeing reports on the Research Puzzle Pix of the recent "freeze out" of Mr. Mayo by Citigroup, I decided to see how Citi fared under the New Constructs microscope.
Recently, Mr. Mayo has highlighted the fact that Citigroup is milking an inappropriately large Deferred Tax Asset to boost earnings as it tries to pull itself back into stock-market favor. Our detailed analysis of the Notes to the Financial Statements found Mayo's assertion about Citi's overstated Deferred Tax Asset (details below) to be true as well as a few other interesting RED FLAGS (our report on Citi has all the details, esp in the appendices):
- Over $7bn in off-balance sheet debt
- $2.2bn in under-funded Pension liabilities
- Over $10bn in Asset write-offs
Our discounted cash flows analysis reveals another RED FLAG – a Very Dangerous Valuation. At $3.67, Citi's stock price implies the company will grow its NOPAT (Net Operating Profits After Tax) by over 15% per year for each of the next 25 years. In other words, to justify the current valuation of its stock, Citi has to grow its NOPAT by 15% compounded annually for 25 years. As explained in How to make money picking stocks, Citi's performance must meaningfully exceed the current expectations of a 15% CAGR for NOPAT over 25 years in order for (long) investors to make money in the stock.
Per our current report on Citi and our call back in March (per my interview on theStreet.com) our Rating for the stock is Dangerous.
Details on Citi's Deferred Tax Asset:
Under SFAS 109, companies are supposed to write-down their deferred tax assets if there is a greater than 50% chance that some of them won't be realized.
Citi has no valuation allowance for its $46B in net deferred tax assets (as of 12-31-2009).
Per SFAS 109, a three-year cumulative loss is significant negative evidence that the deferred tax assets will be realized. This negative evidence must be more than overcome by significant positive evidence.
Considering that Citi's five-year average pre-tax income was a loss of $16 billion, Citi must have some overwhelming positive evidence that it can realize its deferred tax assets. Citi lists the following positive evidence:
1. Citi states that "the Company would need to generate approximately $86 billion of taxable income during the respective carryforward periods to fully realize its U.S. Federal, state and local DTAs." Maximum carryforward periods are usually 20 years, so this conservatively implies that Citi expects to generate $4.3B in taxable income per year for the next 20 years.
2. Citi also states that if it doesn't generate enough taxable income before its net deferred tax assets expire,it may sell of some of its assets (just to generate
enough taxable income to use its deferred tax assets–not to enhance shareholder value).
RED FLAG: Despite significant negative evidence and questionable positive evidence, Citi hasn't written down any of its deferred tax assets. Citi is NOT EMPLOYING conservative accounting.
A large write-down of its deferred tax assets could be devastating for Citi– over 30% of its total book value is comprised of net deferred tax assets.
Citi issues this warning in its filing (see red font section in this excerpt from Citi's latest 10K):
"The amount of the DTA considered realizable, however, could be significantly reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the
carryforward period are significantly lower than forecasted due to deterioration in market conditions."

Per our current report on Citi and our call back in March (per my interview on theStreet.com) our Rating for the stock is Dangerous.

According to the American Marketing Association, "Lenient return policies can lead to an increase in purchasing".
Which makes perfect sense. Think about it... Brands which advertise a lifetime guarantee or 'no-questions-asked' return policy show customers that they A. Have confidence in their products. And B. that they prioritise customer satisfaction over the bottom line (or at least appear to).
So the news that L.L Bean have put and end to their unlimited return policy was so surprising. Why would a brand which prided itself on their 100% customer satisfaction, suddenly redact such a well-loved policy in favour of a more conservative return policy?
The answer is the all-encompassing, and terrifying sounding, Returns Fraud. *dun dun duuun*
But let's look at the facts before anyone starts thinking of putting up barriers to prevent returns. We took a look at our returns data for 2017 to uncover where the return problems lie. I have some good news and some bad news...let's get the bad news out of the way first:
Fraudulent Returns Are a Fact of Life.
As long as brick-and-mortar retailers have offered customer-centric service, there have been those who seek to take advantage of it. From criminal shoplifters, to people simply taking too many free samples at the cosmetics counters, you'll always find the occasional bad egg.
The same goes for the eCommerce industry. Some shoppers will try to return an item they've damaged or deliberately send back the wrong item of lesser-value than the refund amount. For clothing, the fraudulent returns behavior can be more subtle. A shopper can purchase an item, keep the labels attached, wear it out, then return it later (this is sometimes referred to as 'wardrobing') and this is harder to spot.
Bricks and Mortar retailers do not close their doors to avoid the threat of shoplifting, so neither should online retailers. Putting up barriers to deter returns and avoid the dreaded 'wardrobers' by implementing stricter return policies is the wrong move.
Good News: Fraudulent Returns Are Pretty Rare
We wanted to take a look at just how common Returns Fraud really is. We pulled data from 1 Million returns transaction over the past 12 months looking for any returns marked as rejected for discrepancies (ie. the shopper said they were returning something different to what was actually received in the warehouse).
We found the rate of fraudulent returns to be surprisingly low: 0.07% of 1 Million Returns were non-refundable due to discrepancies. That's only 675 out of 1,000,000 parcels where the parcel contents were inspected and found to be different to the returns form.
So what should retailers take from this?
Don't give in to fraudulent returns scaremongering. There is far more to be gained from offering a 'customer-first' returns policy, than there is to be lost. Rather than fearing the 0.06% of returners who will try to take advantage, focus on the other 99.93% and offer them a phenomenal return experience with a lengthy return window and a hassle-free process.
If you are thinking about trialing a longer returns window, get in touch to find out how ReBOUND can help you offer a more flexible return policy which is tailored to suit your international markets.

I'm still working to catch up with the various completions that have occurred since I returned to active modelling (ie post surgery) in early 2016. To date I have completed 21 in the aircraft series and 6 in the ordnance series. Plus I've at least started my very first vehicle/armor model. I'm going to have to scare up a 1:72 ship somewhere (maybe one of the Revell subs?) to complete the set.
Today's completion is another Hurricane. This is the Hobbyboss model, which as others have noted has a somewhat emaciated and pointed nose. You don't really notice it until you stick it spinner-to-spinner with a better rendition. Still, as most know, my main focus in modelling is on the paint scheme and markings, so when I realized I had two unfinished Hurricanes in the stash that were "easy assembly" types, that seemed the perfect thing to work on while easing back into the hobby after 18 months off.
Whatever the accuracy quotient, the Hobby Boss kits are very buildable. Not too many parts, most of which fit very well (you might need a touch of filler where the fuselage and wing comes together) so the major remaining drama usually comes about during painting. I believe the majority of painting was done before I replaced my aged airbrush with a new example, so there were some moments of intemperate language involved.
Since I have built a large number of Hurricanes, markings are always a consideration. I've gone through most of the unusual paint schemes, including PR variants and racers. Much of my concentration lately has been on foreign users. Turkish, Japanese, Portugese, Russian, and (still to come) a Belgian ragwing. I've been using the Sky Models decal sheet, among others, so the field is still fairly ripe for additional models. Just having different codes on a bog-standard green-and-brown (or desert markings) Hurricane doesn't generally do it for me. I need some sort of unusual markings, like foreign examples or nose art or maybe some unusual colors, to hold my interest during the entire process. The next one might be a captured German example.
This particular model is from Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa in 1942. The Allies were rather concerned about French resistance to a British attack, so a number of UK types were painted in American markings to provide at least a veneer that this was a primarily American operation. This Hurricane was one of these.
This is completed aircraft #453 (#19 for the year), finished in March of 2016.

Raguso's father, a baker, moved from Italy to New York and opened first pastry shop 1960, with $500 and penny in his pocket for good luck. The family pastry shop moved to its current location on East 187th Street in 1965, and Raguso is thrilled that Gino's Pastry Shop is celebrating fifty-eight years this year, and he is grateful for so much luck in recent years, much of which he credits to his parents' advice to never forget where you come from. Gino's Pastry Shop shop is featured in the broadway musical version of A Bronx Tale, and Raguso regularly gives back to his community through sponsorships at the local senior center, his former grammar school, and church.

Home > Scale Certification
7000 and 7300 Scale Certification
With each new system the scale(s) are certified to be accurate over the useable range of operation. Xigent recommends that each scale be re-certified annually to ensure that the fill process remains accurate and under control. Many quality standards require yearly certification of measuring instruments that are depended upon for the high quality of dispensing operations.
Xigent offers a re-certification service for both 7000 and 7300 Scales. A quick turn-around of 2-3 days plus shipping is achievable. If you do not have the special packaging that you received with your Scale, Xigent will send a new package. This package is designed specifically for your 7300 Scale to ensure the safe transport of these delicate instruments. Instructions for handling precautions and packaging for shipment will be sent to you for your reference.
In the case that your production schedule cannot accommodate the re-certification turn-around time, Xigent can provide a temporary replacement Scale for your use during the recertification process.
Xigent recommends that each user facility have a spare Scale for such use as well as a safe guard in case of critical failure.

Determining Business Partnership Level
Not all business relationships are equal. You know that there exists a partnership when the companies in the partnership are operating differently than a typical Vendor/Supplier relationship. This treatment can be seen in how they speak about their partnership and how they actually operationalize the alliance. Coherence has identified 4 levels of increasing business partnership interdependence. Used as a conceptual tool it, the conceptual model allows companies to determine which business relationships are partnerships and which are not. It also helps to establish the expectations between companies during the alliance development process.
Level 4 "Vendor Supplier Relationship"
Identifying elements are no special rights granted to either party, no real governance is in place, remuneration is "fee for service" and no revenue share exists. It's generally a non-exclusive relationship where other businesses have similar if not equal relationship to the company. Many technology relationships really land here.
Level 3 "Strategic Collaboration"
A Strategic Collaboration is one step up from a Vendor Supplier relationship. Here the business relationship is characterized by some special rights that are granted to each party. Some governance is put in place with partial or at least time bound exclusivities are involved and revenue share is put in place. Communications are tighter between the parties and there is longer-term horizon involved. Strategic suppliers tend to land in this level. For example the P&G and Walmart collaboration fits here.
Level 2 "Alliance/Partnership"
Alliances/Partnerships are characterized by a more interdependent business relationship. Here there is everything put in place, less a new company structure. There exist shared investments made to bring new products or new services to market through joint development etc. Profit share can be incorporated with integrated governance coupled with longer term project road-map and long term horizon. Typically contracts run 5 to 10 years and include certain key exclusivities and special rights. Renault-Nissan Alliance is a perfect example here.
Level 1 "JV Equity Partnership / Ownership"
At the top of the pyramid is the formation of an entirely new company. Here you have significant investments, board seats in place as the governance structure and a fully integrated company formed by two or more major firms going to market based on entirely new ventures and strategy etc. Isis, the US mobile commerce joint venture created by AT&T, T-Mobile USA and Verizon is a perfect example of Level 1.
As a general rule, from Level 4 up to Level 1, the Greater Amount of Risk & Investment, the Greater Amount of Say and Subsequently the Higher and more Integrated and Interdependent Partnership and Alliance Structure put in place.
