It is imperative that you keep the Department informed of your plans with regards to this. You should email the Education Team firstname.lastname@example.com when you start thinking about submitting your dissertation.
The steps to take are:
About two months before you are due to submit your dissertation, you will need to apply for examiners to be appointed. Normally two examiners are appointed, one from within the University (internal) and one from another institution (external). You should Complete the 'Intention to Submit Form' and email it to the Degree Committee together with a copy of your dissertation summary. The form can also be downloaded from your Camsis self-service pages. The Degree Committee will then set in motion the process of appointment by asking the Head of Department to make nominations. Your Supervisor will be consulted at this point. The summary is used to inform the Head of Department and potential examiners about the content of your work. Students are not expected to nominate potential examiners themselves.
The Student Registry will log in your dissertation and send it to the Higher Degrees Office who will send it out to your examiners with instructions about conducting the examination. The Internal Examiner will contact you in due course about the date, time and place for the viva (which is arranged by the Internal examiner). http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/students/studentregistry/exams/submission/phd/viva.html
The Department of Psychiatry recommends that students use the APA style of referencing. For more details please visit: http://www.apastyle.org/learn/faqs/index.aspx
Style of the dissertation – please visit information issued by the Student Registry on the style and format of the dissertation: http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/students/studentregistry/exams/submission/
Intention to submit form — Student form
The completed form and dissertation summary should be sent to:
Lesley Dixon
Administrative Secretary to the Degree Committee
Higher Degrees Office
Box 111, School of Clinical Medicine
Addenbrooke's Hospital, Hills Road
Cambridge CB2 0SP
Tel. 01223 336720
Fax: 01223 336709
Email: mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com
*** Please make sure that you copy the Psychiatry Education Team into this email.
The form also contains a section for voluntary disclosure of any disability which you may wish your examiners to be made aware of. If you tick any of the boxes, you will be put in touch with the Disability Resource Centre who will then provide the necessary advice and guidance. If appropriate, the Degree Committee will advise the examiners accordingly.Your supervisor will be advised whether the nominations have been approved by the Degree Committee. You should then complete your writing-up and endeavour to submit 2 soft-bound copies of your dissertation to the Student Registry as soon as possible, and definitely before the end of your registration date. Information on the submission process can be found at: http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/students/studentregistry/exams/submission/phd/submitting.html
At the examination you will be told about any necessary corrections, if these are minor, you may be issued with a set of required corrections. Once you have done these you must get them checked by the internal examiner. If you do not receive a list of corrections from the internal examiner at or after the viva, you will need to wait until after the Degree Committee has met to consider your reports. A copy of the reports and corrections will then be sent to you by the Student Registry. http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/students/studentregistry/exams/after/index.html
You must submit your dissertation for examination within the maximum period of your study. For full-time students this is 48 months (4 years) from the initial date of registration (taking into account any periods of authorised intermission). Students who do not submit by this date will be removed from the University's register of students. Students who are unable to meet their submission deadline must apply to extend their registration date (see link below). If you are not able to submit before your final 'end of registration date' (as shown on CamSIS), you must talk to your supervisor to discuss whether there are grounds for you to apply for an extension or whether you should come off the Register of Graduate Students temporarily, until ready to submit. All such applications must be made before the end of your registration date. You must inform the Education Team in the first instance if you are unlikely to submit on time to ensure that you receive the appropriate advice and guidance.
For more details, please refer to: http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/students/studentregistry/current/graduate/programme/register.html
IMPORTANT: You must come off the Graduate Student Register before enrolling onto another graduate course or taking up employment.

The GS of the CC of the KKE, Dimitris Koutsoumpas, who was present at the PAME strike rally at the Propylaea, stated: "The least thing that the government must do right this moment is to withdraw this shameful Bill, a bill that further destroys Collective Bargaining, which attempts to put a muzzle on the trade union movement, that strikes a blow at vital labor rights and gains won over many years."
With a new nation-wide strike and rallies in dozens of cities on October 2nd, the mobilizations continued against the anti-people legislation being promoted by the ND government in the name of "development". Sectoral Federations, Labor Centers and Trade Unions, continuing the 24/9 strike, confronted the government, employers and the undermining role of the GSEE leadership yet one more time.
In Athens a mass rally of the All-Workers Militant Front (PAME) took place, followed by a march to the Parliament, while similar strike rallies took place in more than 50 cities throughout Greece.
Addressing the rally, Giannis Tasioulas, President of the Federation of Construction Workers, revealed the anti-labor nature of the new legislation that stipulates an attack against fixed work hours, against minimum and mid-level wages, exemptions for those employers who do not deposit insurance contributions into the Funds, permanizing a bare minimum of salaries and wages, through the notorious "exceptions" concerning any Collective Bargaining Agreements that are signed, as well as a further attack against the unions and the right to strike.
Additionally, G. Tasioulas condemned the government's agreement with the USA and NATO, which was not made, as he stated, in the interests of the working people.
He expressed the solidarity of the trade unions with immigrants and refugees.
G. Tasioulas ended his speech as follows: "It's not coincidental that employers and the union mafia wake up and sleep with anti-communism in their mouths. Nor that the bourgeois parties lose any opportunity to spew the poison of anti-communism. Neither is it a coincidence that the EU resolutions that distort the History of the peoples, equating Nazism and fascism with communism, were co-signed by liberal, center, and fake left forces. This serves their interests. To attack the working class and the popular strata as a whole. Historical experience shows that anti-communism is the preparation by the forces of capital for an overall strike against the workers. This element must be seriously estimated by each and every one of us. We do not compromise. We do not lay down our weapons in battle. Through our struggle we will impose justice."

This is book number 1 in the Calvin and Hobbes series.
My absolute favorite comic since I discovered Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat in my aunt's apartment. The Days Are Just Packed was one of my first bookstore purchases soon after. I remember spreading the comics section of the paper across our sunlit living room floor, lying on my belly, saving Calvin and Hobbes for last; and how sad I was the day I heard Watterson was hanging up his pen and brush. As an adult, I appreciate the sharpness of his cultural and political critiques as much as I appreciated his vast, imaginative landscapes as a child—a perfect comic for any age.— Joe Michon-Huneau

Project Description
Nature Of The Project:
The project objective was to set-up an Amazon store, add products, write content, edit photos, and continuously optimize the listings using buyers' search terms to increase sales.
Project Execution/ Outcome:
We did enough research on the products in Amazon and we used keyword tool to get buyers' search terms for the best optimization. Once we were done with the above, we started optimizing the product. First we built the relevant title by using the format of Brand name, Product name, one of its best key feature / benefit on which buyers will get attracted towards it and pack details. Next we started working on 5 key features about the product like material, warranty / guarantee, application, etc.,
Then we did Product Description where we explained additional features, specification and used effective keywords instead of writing the exact product name again and again. Further we separated backend keywords for listing like subject matter, intended use, target audience, other attributes and search terms. Finally using Photoshop, we edited photos for white background and changed the pixel resolution to 1000*1000 for Amazon's regulation.
To bring sales and improve our listings, we did rank tracking for the products continuously, changed the keywords often and analyze other sellers' listings.
Technology Used
- Amazon Keyword Research tool to find the keywords.
- Adobe PhotoShop

435 Yards Par 4 - Keep your drive on the left side of the generous landing area as there are several overhanging trees on the right side of the fairway. Crossing the fairway is an eight foot ridge at the 150 yard post. Use this downhill slingshot wisely and you can add 30 yards to your tee ball. The second shot is played downhill to a beautifully framed green with towering trees on all sides. The flat green is protected by a greenside bunker on the left side and a shallow swale on the right.

Tips for a Safe Holiday Season
Tis the season for everything holly, jolly, merry and bright. But celebrating the spirit of the holidays takes more than just planning the perfect menu and stunning home decor. Thanksgiving to New Year's can pose a greater risk for house fires, decorating injuries and drunk driving crashes.
Decorating Tips for the Home…
- Prevent ladder injuries – In 2012, 34 percent of the holiday decorating incidents involved falls.
Click poster to see additional safe decorating tips from the CPSC.
Choose a tree wisely – Always check the freshness of a live Christmas tree. A fresh tree is green, its needles are hard to pull from branches, and the needles do not break when bent between your fingers. The bottom of a fresh tree is sticky with resin, and when tapped on the ground, the tree should not lose many needles. This video shows the flammability of a dry Christmas tree versus a tree that has been watered regularly. If you're buying an artificial tree, look for the label "fire resistant."
- Keep an eye on candles – Candles should always be displayed on a stable, heat-resistant surface and extinguished before you leave the room or the house and before going to bed. Two out of every five home decorating fires are started by candles.
- Check the lights – Use lights that have been tested for safety by a nationally recognized testing laboratory. Examine new and old lights for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires, or loose connections. Plug one cord in at a time and throw away any cords with exposed wires.
- Maintain a safe distance – Decorations should be placed at least three feet away from the fireplace. And think twice before tossing discarded wrapping paper into the fire: Wrappings can ignite suddenly and create a flash fire.
Know When Enough Is Enough for Holiday Guests
One too many toasts can prove deadly during the holiday if partygoers choose to drink and drive. During the past decade, alcohol was a factor in 37 percent of deadly crashes around the Christmas holidays, 41 percent over New Year's. That compares to 31 percent over the rest of the year. During the 2012 holiday season alone, 830 lives were lost in drunk driving crashes.
Tips for the responsible social host …
- Stay in control – If you choose to serve alcohol at your party, stay within your own limits to set a good example for guests.
- Choose a reliable bartender – Don't let underage guests drink alcohol. You can be held liable if an intoxicated minor leaves your party and is injured or injures someone else. Consider closing the bar 90 minutes early and offering non-alcoholic beverages like tea or coffee along with dessert.
- Watch your guests – Arrange rides for any guests who appear to be intoxicated. If they insist on leaving, take their keys, ask a sober guest for help or drive them home yourself. Mothers Against Drunk Driving has a Safe Party Guide with more information.
- Test your smoke alarms – Keep fresh batteries in all smoke alarms and ask guests to smoke outside. One out of four fatal victims of smoking-material fires is not the smoker whose cigarette started the fire.
- Be careful when cooking – Do not leave a pot unattended on the stove and remain in the kitchen while cooking.

New York starts campaign against Islamophobia
NEW YORK • New York has unveiled a major public campaign to fight Islamophobia, stressing the equal rights of the city's hundreds of thousands of Muslims.
The campaign which began yesterday - launched in the wake of a Manhattan bomb attack blamed on a radicalised Afghan-American - initially will use social media to spread the message under the hashtag #IAmMuslimNYC.
Switzerland moves closer to banning face veils
ZURICH • Switzerland's Lower House of Parliament narrowly backed a ban on face veils yesterday, echoing moves by neighbouring France and other European nations to tighten controls in the wake of militant attacks.
The plan by right-wing politician Walter Wobmann - who led a successful campaign to outlaw new minarets in 2009 - still has to pass through the Upper House and the government before it becomes law.
Australia backs off from 'backpacker tax'
SYDNEY • Australia watered down plans for a "backpacker tax" on foreigners on working holidays yesterday, after an outcry from farmers and tourism operators.
Canberra had been under increasing pressure to shelve the tax - 32.5 Australia cents for every dollar earned - amid fears that it would deter tourists from choosing the country as a destination.
Water vapour plumes spotted on Jupiter's moon
WASHINGTON • Astronomers said they have spotted evidence of water vapour plumes rising from Jupiter's moon Europa, a finding that might make it easier to learn whether life exists in the warm, salty ocean hidden beneath its icy surface.
The apparent plumes detected by the Hubble Space Telescope shoot about 200km above Europa's surface, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said on Monday.

How contests have the power to engage and get amplified for social content
February 26, 2019
For long-time client The J.M. Smucker Company, Centra360 was asked to help drive brand awareness for their launch of 1850® coffee, a new premium brand designed to leverage the pioneer spirit of the 1850's and target modern-day trailblazers who want to "embrace the bold". Selling in the very competitive grocery and mass merch channel, it needed to stand out and reach a whole new audience for Folgers in select urban markets.
The Execution
The 1850 Bold Pioneer Contest was developed to create a search for those who exemplified the brand's spirit – "bold pioneers" who are championing endeavors that can make a positive impact in society.
Consumers were required to submit a 60 second video that tells their personal story, how their endeavor will grow and why their story embodies the bold spirit of 1850 coffee. A Sweepstakes promotion encouraged consumers to vote for the Finalist of their choice and get the chance to win $1,850.
Three finalists were selected and flown to San Francisco to pitch their story to a panel of judges and receive a mentoring session with Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit.
The Grand Prize Winner received an $18,500 grant and each remaining Finalist received $5,000 toward their endeavors.
Centra360 was responsible for multiple aspects of the promotion:
- developing all rules for the contest management and judging
- administrating the voting sweepstakes and fulfilling all prizes and
- taking care of all travel, mentoring session logistics and prize awards for the finalists.
The promotion generated extremely highly qualified entries largely through video submissions. Voting Sweepstakes generated over 123,000 entries with over 13,800 unique entrants (11%).
Centa360 is an award-winning marketing agency in NY best known for its shopper marketing, experiential and sweepstakes expertise.
If you're looking to drive meaningful trial & conversion, we'd love to hear from you.

Reality television" and the American reality that produces it
By Noah Page
31 March 2005
It is tempting to suggest that large portions of American television programming have reached such an advanced state of decay that subjecting them to serious analysis, or even satire, is invariably to encounter the law of diminishing returns.
Consider the NBC program "Fear Factor." The show requires contestants to "compete" in outrageous stunts that are either dangerous, nauseating or—what producers surely regard as the ideal scenario for "must-see TV"—both. Among the features at the show's web site are transcripts of interviews with the contestants about the stunts they've completed. The following is an excerpt from a discussion about one program in which a woman guides a blindfolded teammate to a small hole in a transparent wall so they could transfer leeches into each other's mouths.
Fear Factor: Amber, what was it like dunking your head in the leeches?
Amber: It was definitely slimy and it wasn't very pleasant. It didn't smell very good in there either. That smell alone made me want to gag. It was the most disgusting thing I think I've ever smelt. The leeches were really slimy and you could feel them moving around all in your mouth, it felt like you had a big loogie in your mouth. It was definitely horrible.
Fear Factor: Were they clinging on to the inside of your mouth? Were they biting, were they sucking at all?
Amber: The leeches definitely suctioned onto your tongue and the sides of your mouth. It was difficult to get them to come out of your mouth once they had attached themselves. When I was trying to pass them off to Tabitha the little boogers really didn't want to come out.
As grist for television entertainment, public degradation has come a long way since Chuck Barris's "The Gong Show," much less Alan Funt's "Candid Camera." Confronted with "reality TV" today, difficult questions arise. One is struck by the sense that everyone involved is in new,...

Day Rides on Bicycle Island
AboutBicycle Island Day Rides provide cyclists of all abilities with the chance to get out and explore the stunning countryside that the Isle of Wight has to offer.
Try out the following trails:
The Sunshine Trail (12 miles) - A route on varied terrain - mainly flat and perfect for beginners. There are a couple of tough hills to test your legs!
Route 1 Yarmouth (9 miles) - An easy route, mainly on the road.
Route 2 Yarmouth (12 miles) - Longer, but still fairly easy cycling on both cycleway and country lanes.
Route 3 Cowes (9 miles) - An easy, mostly flat ride (after the one hill at East Cowes).
Route 4 Cowes (16 miles) - This route incorporates the perfectly flat Medina Cycleway between Cowes and Newport which is perfect for going on a short 'there and back' ride. Route 4 also incorporates a bit of offroad cycling in the majestic woodland of Parkhurst Forest.
Route 5 Brighstone (10 miles) - An excellent introduction to mountain biking, this route is easy to follow and gives wonderful views of the West Wight. Look out for the Mottistone Longstone which has been on Mottistone Down since the Bronze Age.
Route 6 Brighstone (12 miles) - A figure of eight ride from Brighstone along gently undulating country lanes to Chale.
Route 7 Ryde (15 miles) - Explore the landscape of hedgerows and woods that lie behind Ryde. Follow the cycleways and stop off at Brading for refreshments.

Route 11 Sandown (5 miles) - A short, fairly easy ride taking you through the wildlife-rich wetland of Eastern Yar. This route starts at Dinosaur Isle - why not stop off there and meet some of the Island's prehistoric residents?
Route 12 Shanklin (12 miles) - There are two big hills on this route, but they're well worth it for the interest and variety on the ride! Ride along chocolate box country lanes and cycleways which take you along the Island's southern coast.

As a freelancer, the most difficult parts of my job aren't often the work itself.
In short, I'm terrible at accounting and the business side of my job. I'm always on the lookout for solutions that make sense for me and help to minimize the pain caused by administrative tasks and accounting.
I've tried everything, including QuickBooks shortly after they went to an online-only service. I wasn't impressed. I found the interface far too powerful for anything I'd ever need it for, in addition to being expensive, and making me feel like I'd needed a CPA and QuickBooks in order to make this work.
The new version I was asked to demo – QuickBooks Self-Employed – was, well, better. I mean, a lot better.
QuickBooks Self-Employed Is Designed for Freelancers
QuickBooks Self-Employed isn't adding any mind-blowing features to its base service offering. In fact, it's what they're taking away that might make the biggest difference.
QuickBooks Self-Employed is designed for simplicity; more specifically, tax-related matters. Most of the business features you probably never used as a freelancer were removed, and replaced with more relevant tools like income tracking and tax estimations. This makes QuickBooks Self-Employed an ideal choice for the freelance or self-employed crowd.
Here's why.
Estimated Quarterly Tax Payments
Outside of sending in my estimated quarterly tax payments, which – for me anyway – doesn't take much accounting as I just submit the same amount I did during the previous tax year, and add or delete some from that amount if I made more or less money. It's an inexact science, and one that has led to some larger than I'd like (read: cry into your cereal) end-of-year payments.
In fairness, QuickBooks always had the ability to handle that for you. I never took advantage of it, but it was definitely there. The old interface was – in my opinion – far too feature-rich for me to ever feel like I was spending my time wisely by diving in and learning every nook and cranny.
Now, QuickBooks Self-Employed makes it easy. The second I log in, I'm faced with the exact amount due on my next (quarterly) estimated tax payment right there in the top right corner of my screen. In fact, I can even pay it (online or through the mail) without ever leaving the website. It's pretty slick.
It Tracks Mileage
One of the most overlooked deductions for a freelancer is vehicle mileage. Speaking solely for myself here, I don't even track my mileage, as it seemed rather negligible for someone like myself who never really leaves the house for anything business-related.
My demo with QuickBooks Self-Employed changed my mind.
For some reason, I always thought that the money saved here would amount to mere pennies, and wouldn't really be worth the time spent filling out an additional tax form or tracking my mileage on each (very short) trip. For the sake of being thorough, I played around with the mileage tracking feature on QuickBooks Self-Employed (literally just so that I could see how it worked in order to write about it) and it blew my mind just how much money I've left on the table each year. In my (fake) mileage estimates that I added to the mileage tracker, I totaled 221 miles. This might be pretty close to half of the amount of business miles I put on my car each year. The total saved? $127!
I'm not going to be putting kids through college on this money, but it pains me to think that for the last decade I haven't submitted any mileage claims, and I could have been saving $250-$500 a year. Over a 10-year period, that's a lot of cash!
Year End Taxes
If you're like me, tax time is a nightmare. I spend the greater portion of March trying to organize everything that I had neglected from the previous year.
Another thing to like about QuickBooks Self-Employed is just how seamlessly it integrates with TurboTax. If you've never used TurboTax, I highly recommend it. I've used it each of the past three years, and although there are free options available (TurboTax is a paid service), the money it saves me by looking for additional deductions is well worth the fee for tax preparation.
With QuickBooks Self-Employed and TurboTax, you essentially answer a couple of questions (which are then saved for next year so you don't have to do it again), import the data from your QuickBooks account into TurboTax, and your taxes are done within minutes. You can even e-file and make payments without ever leaving the application.
What I Like About It
It's Polished
I was immediately impressed by the level of polish in the user interface. It feels like QuickBooks Self-Employed was, well, built for people like me. The dashboard is simplistic (at a glance), attractive, and attention-grabbing with rich graphics and charts in both the content area and sidebar. In a word, beautiful.
Everything I need is right in front of my eyes the second I log in, and that makes the entire accounting process painless, and offers a gentle learning curve for anyone who has never used accounting software.
It's as simple as adding your bank accounts, defining whether transactions are business or personal (because – as a freelancer – the two often overlap), and then paying your taxes when they're due.
Additional features are equally straightforward, and during my entire time exploring the product for this review, I didn't find myself heading to the help section once.
It's Affordable
At $9.99 a month (or $16.99 a month with TurboTax) it's well within the range of affordability for most freelancers. I also wouldn't hesitate to pay the $16.99 a month for the TurboTax add-on, as this will save me hours at the end of the year in addition to a lot of frustration by trying to do this on my own. I'm bad at accounting, I hate tax time, and if there's something that can make it easier on me, I'll pay for it. The fact that it's only about $16.99 makes it a pretty easy pill to swallow, and honestly – I'd pay twice as much for the same features.
If you sign up for QuickBooks Self-Employed (or the TurboTax bundle) today, you'll receive a 20% discount for 12 months. Read more about the limited-time offer here.
For those of you that aren't quite ready to fire your accountant, you can skip the additional $7 for TurboTax and just print tax-ready reports for your accountant right from your QuickBooks account.
What I Don't Like
I'm honestly struggling to come up with anything that isn't overly nitpicky. For example, the ability to integrate invoicing into the admin panel, is really all I can think of in terms of things it's lacking, that might actually be needed.
Others might argue that it's not as feature-rich as the non-Self-Employed version, and they're right. That said, it's not lacking in any way either.
I like being able to run this for the first time (as I did just a few days ago) and – without reading any instructions or following any on-board prompts – natively and intuitively figure the whole thing out. It's well-designed, and only includes the essential features. Besides, if you find yourself needing more features, you are free to switch to the full version at any time. I'm sure Intuit won't mind.
Do you use QuickBooks or QuickBooks Self-Employed? If not, what are you currently using? What feature or feature(s) make this the best solution?

In 2011, SCA Managing Director (Trenton Allen) led the $67 million Energy Efficiency Revenue Bond ("EERB") financing for the SEU. The transaction provided low-cost capital for eight energy efficiency projects performed by six Energy Services Companies for four State agencies and two higher educational institutions, including a technical college.
Prior to the SEU, state agencies, nonprofits and local governments struggled to execute energy efficiency projects. Whether that was due to high cost of financing, financing and contract structure, identification of trusted construction partner or inertia, the result was still the same. The SEU was developed in part to reduce the burden of state and local governments by providing a dedicated and focused professional team to support the acceleration of clean energy projects within the state. By design, the SEU was focused on breaking down silos between various technologies and targeted opportunities with the greatest environmental and economic impact. In order to achieve scale and reduce cost, the energy efficiency revenue bond program was developed to aggregate the needs of the government (state and local) and nonprofit sector. As a newly created entity and first-time borrower, the SEU had to spend time considerable time introducing itself to the bond market.
The SEU successfully issued $67 million of tax-exempt bonds to fund energy efficiency improvements throughout the state. The transaction produced over $34 million in guaranteed net energy savings to the participants and served as a precursor to the "Green Bonds" that have been sold into the bond market. The SEU model and the transaction have been lauded as a model for the financing and aggregation of energy projects and received AA+ from S&P and Aa2 from Moody's, respectively. Mr. Allen served as the sole underwriter to the SEU and participated in all aspects of the transaction and organizational development including, legal formation, governance structure development, program design, program marketing, rating agency strategy formation, legislative and policy review, and transaction structure. The transaction demonstrated that a pooled, appropriation-backed bond structure was a viable mechanism to finance energy efficiency projects in the public sector.

Autodesk, the maker of popular CAD software, AutoCAD, has announced the next version that is now available for download. AutoCAD 2020 brings new features and enhancements to one of the most widely used industrial software enabling users to design, draft and bring their vision to life. With AutoCAD 2020, Autodesk is adding features such as dark theme, quick display measurements and performance improvements to speed up your rendering work. With the new software, Autodesk says that professional users will also get access to specialized toolsets that will give access to industry-specific tools. Here is a look at new features being introduced with AutoCAD 2020:
Dark Theme for Clarity
With AutoCAD 2020, Autodesk is adding dark theme to one of the most popular professional software out there. AutoCAD 2020 and all the specialized toolsets now have a fresh new look with the dark theme. The dark theme has a modern dark blue interface, which according to the company, will be easy on eyes and is designed to work with contrast improvements and sharper icons, added by the company recently.
"We're continuing to deliver unprecedented value to subscribers via a streamlined offering, new features, and award-winning web and mobile apps," said Marcus O'Brien, director of AutoCAD product management. "With Autodesk's cloud capabilities and new AutoCAD partnerships, users can collaborate and make anything, anywhere."
Performance Improvements
AutoCAD 2020 also brings system-level performance improvements and Autodesk says each time when you save your work, it takes just half a second, making the new version one whole second faster on average. "In just one year, all AutoCAD users would save 80 work years collectively," the company said in a blog post. The install time has also been improved and is now 50 percent faster for machines with solid state hard drives.
Quick Measure tool
AutoCAD 2020 makes measuring distances faster with the new Quick Measure tool, which measures 2D drawings simply by hovering your mouse. "Dimensions, distances, and angles are dynamically displayed as you move your mouse over and between objects."

Other features added to the software
While dark theme, performance improvements and quick measure tool are the key enhancements, the AutoCAD 2020 also brings a new Blocks palette making it easier to insert blocks with visual galleries. The Purge feature has also been redesigned for cleaning up drawings easily. Now, AutoCAD users can compare drawing revisions in one window and users can stores their files in Microsoft OneDrive or Box.

If you have an anxiety disorder, you know that life can already be pretty tricky. And dating? Dating while you have an anxiety disorder can feel impossible. While dating may be hard for everybody, it can feel especially hard for those who are mentally ill.
I would know. I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (or GAD) when I was nine and re-occurrent depression when I was sixteen. Here's my guide to seven things you can do if you're dating with an anxiety disorder
1. Know Your Triggers.
When you have an anxiety disorder, it's always really important to know what stresses you out and triggers you. Since dating is already stressful (for everybody!), it's extra important that you know how to manage and prevent any additional anxiety. So I urge you: Write down some things that trigger you and others that make you feel comfortable. Think about how you could incorporate these into your dating life. Plan a first coffee date or an important talk at your favorite place during your favorite time of day. Whatever you decide to incorporate, make sure you'll feel more mentally and physically safe than usual. That way, you can focus on the date instead of managing your already-anxious mind.
2. Be Clear About Your Needs and Talk It Out
It's often said that people with anxiety disorders will need extra reassurance from their partners. Sometimes we (as I have done many times), will actively look for little signs that our partner is going to leave us even if there are none to be found. Our coping techniques have taught us that, in order to keep ourselves safe, we need to be ahead of the game before something happens. And while these may have helped us in the past, they inevitably result in us seeing tension when there is none. As a result, we need a lot of reassurance that what's in our head is just in our head.
However, since we ourselves sometimes do not know what would make us feel better, we aim for all the reassurance possible. In turn, this process puts pressure on our partner and leaves us frustrated when we feel our needs are not met.
As a result, it's really important that you begin to visualize and communicate to your partner specific things that would help you feel secure. Have an ongoing conversation with your partner about things to incorporate as well as ways you can be understanding about their lives. The more you talk about it, the more you can build trust and understanding. Also, understand that they give/receive affection in a different way than you. To use myself as an example: While I normally find gift-giving really meaningful/reassuring, it stresses my partner out (HI POOKIE). So instead, he puts a little extra effort into text making text messages, forehead kisses, or video chats more meaningful. He'll buy my groceries when we're together and always be there when I need him. Additionally, while an unanswered text message would usually freak me out, William has assured me that it's never because he is mad at me – He is just bad at texting.
Equally, don't be afraid to let your partner know if/when you need some space to feel better. Establish that you may need to cancel a date once in a while if you're not feeling great and need to engage in some self-soothing activities. Just make sure that they know what it's for so they don't get offended. 🙂
Talk it out. If you think your needs are reasonable and you've tried to communicate, but still coming up short, don't be afraid to cut it off. It doesn't make you "needy" to want things and it doesn't make him an asshole. Most likely, you two have different emotional needs in a relationship and are subsequently, not a good match for each other anyway.
3. Be Upfront.
Don't waste your time with people who have outdated views on mental health. While you don't need to start off with "Hello my name is Violet and I've been taking SSRIs since I was nine years old," being upfront about your condition will only help you more in the long-run. You'll weed out those who weren't going to be a good match anyway.
4. Pick Empathetic and Patient Partners Who Bring You Peace (They DO Exist)!
I've been lucky in that none of my partners have explicitly made me feel bad about my mental illness. They've all tolerated it to one degree or another. And for a while, I expected that it was the most I could ever hope for.
It wasn't until I met William (my current partner), when I realized that I could hope for more. There might be people who not only "tolerate" my condition, but who also actively support me in managing it. For example, on only our third date, I had a panic attack while driving us to my place. I opened the door to my house, flustered and angry at myself for being so emotional. But before I could push it open, William came behind me, gave me a hug, and told me how lucky he was to be with me.
Being with William has also shown me that it's possible to find somebody whose relationship brings you more peace than chaos. While I inevitably will get anxious about aspects of our relationship (as I do about anything else), his reliability and steadfastness have greatly diminished the anxiety that I usually feel over things.
Get you a William.
5. Develop A Strong Social Network.
While it's more than OK to have needs during a relationship, remember that it's also important to have your own life as well. People with anxiety, myself included, have a tendency to form co-dependent relationships. These are not healthy for anybody. Nobody, not even your partner, can "complete" your life and fulfill all your emotional needs.
So I urge you: When dating anybody, always make sure to develop (or strengthen) your social network. Join a club, start an activity or just be open to new experiences.
In addition to providing you with a life outside of your partner, friends can act as a sounding board for any relationship (or breakup) advice you may need. I can't talk enough about how my friends have helped me through my most difficult romantic situations.
6. Distract Yourself and Don't Overthink.
Dating and relationships are full of uncertainty. I like to call these uncertainties "blank spaces." Blank spaces can range from "Why isn't he responding to my text messages?" to "Will we resolve our disagreement" While these "blank spaces" are infuriating for everybody, people with anxiety can find them particularly troubling. Our low self-confidence and tendency to catastrophize events can lead us to fill in these "blank spaces" with our own insecurities.
Once again, we become our own worst enemies and try to find issues where there are none. "He's just busy" may turn into "He's ghosting me." And "We will work it out" will turn into "We're going to break up." Even if we know, on a logical level that people don't always answer messages immediately or that all couples have fights, our thoughts can spiral out of control and leave us in a state of panic.
In order to stop these thoughts from spiraling, it's really important that you create go-to activities to distract yourself. Whenever you feel a surge to spiral come on, start doing something else. When you do something else, you can stop the spiral of negative thoughts and build more of a life outside of your partner. Personally, my favorite things to do when I can feel myself getting anxious is to: run, watch Netflix, or play with my cat.
7. Most of All: Be Confident – Recognize The Unique Perspective And Qualities That Your Condition Gives You.
My condition has caused me to miss countless days of school, cancel tons of social events, and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical care. On especially bad days, something as simple as going to the grocery store can send me into full-on "fight or flight" mode. And when my depression kicks in, it can get even worse. Large chunks of my life have been characterized by a constant sense of lethargic and aimless hopelessness. Society, in turn, has simultaneously romanticized and stigmatized my condition.
But despite it all, I truly refuse to see my condition as something I need to be ashamed of. My experiences have made me stronger and more resilient to life's challenges. They have made me empathetic to the needs of others and generous to the less fortunate. And perhaps most importantly, they have taught me to truly cherish the good moments. While I work every day to achieve more peace, I have realized that my mental illness is not solely a liability. It is an advantage. And so is yours.
The last step to dating with an anxiety disorder is to recognize that. Write down and focus on all the things that, admittedly, make life a bit more difficult for you. But then think about all the ways you've grown from your experiences. Think about how it's shaped your worldview or changed your behavior. Or maybe give you better coping mechanisms that most other people don't have. Write them down and always remember them.
Because your experiences don't make you difficult, "damaged goods" or "needy." Having a mental illness sucks. But it is ultimately your experiences that also make you beautiful, unique, and completely worthy of love.
Thanks lovelies!

Steve Davenport, Associate Director of the Creative Writing Program at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, dealt with aging, anger and the Midwest at a Caxton Club poetry reading held Friday, Nov. 9.
Before Davenport read an excerpt from his book "Overpass," he explained the motivation for his project.
"A good friend of mine had developed stage-four breast cancer and couldn't say certain things out in public. She couldn't say things she wanted to say about cancer because everybody would swoop in to hug her or to tell her anger wasn't useful," Davenport said.
Despite his desire to move away from formalist poetic structures, he saw "Overpass" as a way to combine curtailed sonnets with "badass content."
"But she was angry and I said, 'You know what, I can do that, so I began writing the poems in 'Overpass,''" Davenport said.
Davenport said that upon finishing "Overpass" he vowed to write poems that were not "formally contained."
"I'm trying hard not to be a formalist," he said.
Davenport is 59 now, and as he has aged, more and more of his poetry has come to discuss the breakdown of his and his friends' bodies.
"The kind of content that makes some people look the other way because you can't write about cancer, testicular cancer and breast cancer without real anger," Davenport said.
Davenport, self-described as an even-keeled person, also made light of his recent ailments.
"I have to say for a writer, if you can have a stroke, a light one, and survive it and all the psychological damage that comes with it, it's cool because you get to have a cerebral angiogram," Davenport said.
However, he also pointed to the difference between writing about or for angry people and writing while angry.
"The act of crafting anything, especially a poem, you can't be angry when you do that or you'll write a poem that is screaming and shouting and sort of formless. It carries energy that won't last for very long, it'll be temporal, dissipate within one or two readings," Davenport said. "If you want to write something that will last you have to work craft in and you do that with a calm mind. I try to do it by carrying language into the poem that is visceral."
Another one of Davenport's main topics was the Midwest.
"He is probably the most Midwestern poet I've ever seen," sophomore Victoria Baldwin said.
"When you get landscape and whiskey and have a really visceral way of talking about the things you want to talk about, that's a Midwestern poet to me," she said.
Just to be sure, Davenport confirmed that his preferred spirit was "cheap bourbon."
Recognizing the importance of the Midwest in his literature was a late-in-life development for Davenport.
"At 40 I finally was able to look down at the ground beneath my feet. When I was a young man I was too busy looking chaotically in all directions, looking at women and chasing my hormones," he said.
He was impressed with the audience of approximately 20 students and faculty who attended the event.
"I've only been here a day. It's been quick and furious," Davenport said. "I will say this is probably the most enjoyable poetry reading I've ever done. Very responsive audience. I watch a lot of these at the U of I and sometimes undergraduates don't have anything to ask, but there were real and good questions here."
Thanks, Julian Boireau, for the best description of one of my readings that I've read.

An Adams Will Do
Posted on June 3, 2018 by rivertoprambles
Continuing with my "wings over water" theme of late, I've kept an eye out for insect hatches on our trout streams but haven't seen much yet. Oh, the Sulphur mayflies made an afternoon appearance on Cross Fork Creek. A few … Continue reading →

This has been a tough week. We went through all our possessions, moved them out of the house that we had made a home, and sent them off to be sold. Sometime around day two, I was struck by the reality that Jesus' words about selling your stuff was more than just about cashing the value of your earthly possessions for Kingdom work. As I sorted through box after box, I saw 18 year old mementos from first dates, coming home outfits for each of my children, special ornaments from year after year that hung on our tree. There were plaques of gratitude and "treasures" with which one should never part. All this stuff reminding me of the kingdom I have built here… And I realized it was hard. It is hard to sell something for $.50 that you think is worth millions…
I decided midweek that I would rather burn it all than to sell my stuff to someone who will never know what those things meant to our family.
But that is not what Jesus called us to because He knows that there is a pair of heart strings tied right to our stuff telling us just what we value. "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Luke 12:32–34, ESV)
So, it is sold, and my heart is free. I still have the memories of all the beautiful moments… I just no longer have the weight of all the stuff pulling my attention from my King. I am focusing of Jesus' words to proceed without fear. I am trying to understand that the treasures that are eternal come from the One Who is eternal. I can't say that I am "there." That I get it. I am saying that I am simply trying to focus on the heels of Jesus as I try to follow Him and trust Him that He is enough… Because He is enough.

Tax-Saving Tips at Year-End for Employers and Employees
As the year draws to a close, the inevitability of taxes looms. Employers and employees alike want to reduce their obligation to Uncle Sam. Planning ahead can yield tax savings to both.
Maximizing tax deductions is key, especially for small businesses. Rein in your tax expenses with a number of strategies:
- Ensure that you're taking every deduction available. If you don't already use an experienced tax preparer — one who keeps abreast of the complex and fluid tax laws — it's likely a worthwhile business expense.
- Shelter revenue from profits in a qualified retirement plan that gives a tax deduction for your contributions, and defers taxes on earnings until you withdraw from the plan.
- Consider an accountable plan to save the company and employees taxes if you reimburse staff for using personal vehicles for company business. IRS Form 463 describes accountable plans and their use.
- Defer income to the following tax year and boost deductions in the current tax year by sending out bills a few days later in December. You'll get paid in January, putting the income in the next tax year. Take more deductions in December by paying bills due in January.
- Ensure that your business is structured properly. Can you gain tax advantages as a C corporation? Another structure? Your company's structure determines your tax bracket.
- If possible, increase your contribution to workers' health insurance premiums. Doing this in lieu of salary raises means that you and your employees save the attendant income, FICA, and Medicare taxes on bigger paychecks.
- Offer to match a percentage of employee contributions to the company 401(k) plan — the business' share is deductible. You'll save on taxes and your workers will certainly appreciate the benefit.
- If it fits your company, establish a Section 125 benefit plan allowing employees to pay medical and dental premiums with pretax dollars and set aside pretax funds for qualified medical and dependent-care costs. A Section 125 flexible spending account can save employees an average of 30 percent in federal, state and local taxes they already pay out-of-pocket. Your company can save an average of $115 per participant through decreased payroll and tax liabilities for social security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance.
Note: You may want to consult your company tax expert for more information.
Employers want to help their employees in every way possible, and assistance with tax savings ranks high on the list. At year-end, you may help workers reduce what they owe the IRS by:
- Suggesting they maximize their 401(k) contributions, as these are pretax funds. Reducing reportable income means a smaller income tax bill.
- Postponing bonuses until January to keep workers' current year's taxable income lower.
- Suggesting that staff convert a traditional individual retirement account (IRA) to a Roth IRA, which grows tax-free.
- Reminding workers to consider end-of-year charitable contributions that provide tax deductions, if they itemize — unless the alternative minimum tax applies.
- Reminding them to use flexible spending account funds by year-end. These funds let employees set aside pretax money to offset healthcare or childcare expenses. As an employer, you can opt for the IRS-permitted grace period, allowing workers to spend accounts up to March 15, 2016.
No one likes to see the taxman walk away with hard-earned money. Whether you're a boss or a staffer, think smart as the year winds down and keep more cash in your pocket.

African Gold History – Business Lessons From Gold Conflicts
The gold in Africa history has, from time immemorial, been characterized by mass conquests and eras of conflict. In the West African region, kingdoms often thrived by conquering gold-rich kingdoms and plundering the said wealth. Heads rolled, wounds were inflicted and suffering reigned as a result of such conquests. You would think that such gold acquisitions would satiate the raging thirst for this metal, but that has not often been the case. This quest for gold is still something that is going on. More and more conflicts are the rise. Blood is being shed and the poor continue to suffer their fate as the rich start struggling for this metal.
African Gold History In DRC
Let's take a look at the Democratic republic of Congo. For two decades, this country has been drowned in the murky waters of conflict and war. Internal conflicts are on the rise in the country. Foreign countries also usually intervene with their selfish interests. Have they learned anything from the gold in Africa history? Perhaps they have learnt just one thing: that in order for one to acquire this precious metal, some blood has to be shed and some heads have to roll as man tries to quench their desire for this super-metal.
More Important African Gold History To Know
There is just one thing that seems to be characteristic of the gold in Africa history. It is that the passive can never lay their hands on this material of wealth. A foreigner will come and dislodge you from your land where gold is sitting. What do you do? Pick up arms and guard it jealousy. You can also do a bit of theft, like the rebels in the DRC are doing. Some kilograms of this valuable stone will definitely make you stinking rich. Well that was just our view. However, if you really want real Congo gold without shedding some blood, contact us now.

African Energy Resources Limited has been listed on the venture capital board of the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE) since October 2011. There are currently 22 shareholders holding less than 0.3% of the Company's shares on issue.
Whilst the Company continues to pursue the development of the Sese JV Coal and Power Project, the Directors formed the view that the administrative costs and related obligations associated with maintaining the BSE listing are no longer justifiable and shareholders subsequently voted in favour of a delisting from the BSE at the AGM on 22 November 2017.
"A circular to holders of the Company's shares on the BSE will be released on 19 January 2018 setting out the options available to them with regard to the delisting. The delisting is expected to be completed on or about 16 February 2018 at which time shareholdings that remain on the BSE register will be transferred to the ASX Register."
Affected shareholders should contact Corpserve Botswana to assist with any queries or instructions in relation to the delisting. Following the delisting, queries or instructions should be directed to the Company or to the ASX share registrar, Link Market Services.

Despite a promising start to tonight's game, the Rockies were trounced by the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field in Atlanta by a score of 11-3.
After 3 consecutive excellent starts, Juan Nicasio was roughed up by the Atlanta Braves for 8 runs, while only lasting 4 innings. In the first 2 games of the series De La Rosa and Nicasio have combined to allow 16 runs (13 earned) on 20 hits in just 9 innings pitched. For Atlanta, Alex Wood notched his first major league win, overcoming a tough start to the game to go 7 strong innings in the winning effort.
Much Like Monday night, the Rockies jumped out to an early lead, after a leadoff walk to Dexter Fowler, DJ LeMahieu moved Fowler to third with a single, Carlos Gonzalez drove in Fowler with a sac fly. The Braves answered with a solo homerun from the Rockies Killer, Freddie Freeman in the bottom of the 1st. In the second inning Nolan Arenado launched a two-run homerun to left giving the Rockies a 3-1. Nicasio worked out of trouble in the second inning and escaped the 3rd inning only allowing 1 run on an RBI double from Justin Upton, stranding 2 runners. With 2 outs in the bottom of the 4th, the flood gates would open, Jason Heyward would tie the game up with an RBI single driving in Dan Uggla who led the inning off with a double. Justin Upton would follow with a ground rule double, Freeman was intentionally walked to load the bases, Evan Gattis would give the Braves their first lead of the game with a 2-run single to left and Brian McCann would deliver the decisive blow with a 3-run homer to right giving the Braves an 8-3 lead that they would never relinquish. The Rockies had their lone chance in the 7th squandered as Cuddyer was cut down at the plate attempting to score on a double to left-center from Rosario. Freddie Freeman would pad the Braves lead with a 3-run homerun in the 7th, his 2nd homerun in the game.
Juan Nicasio inability to get the 3rd out in the 4th inning tonight proved to be too much to overcome. Nicasio was hit around Turner Field tonight to the tune of 8 runs on 10 hits with 4 strikeouts and 3 walks. Jeff Francis did his job in relief going 2 1/3 allowing 2 runs on 3 hits with 3 strikeouts and 1 walk. Both of Francis' runs came across on Freeman's 2nd homerun of the night off Edgmer Escalona in the 7th. Wilton Lopez did work a perfect inning in the 8th. The Rockies were highlighted offensively by the 2-run homerun from Arenado and a 2-hit effort from Michael Cuddyer.
Both teams are back in action tomorrow tonight, as the Rockies look to end the month of July on a high note. First pitch is slated for 5:10 PM Mountain time and promises to be a pitcher's duel as Tyler Chatwood (7-3, 2.48 ERA) takes on Mike Minor (10-5, 2.89 ERA).
