Fifteen years at Manchester United assured Wes Brown made his fair share of football history, but the thought of more will drive him on tonight. The centre-back knows as well as anyone, though, how hard that will be.
Yesterday coach Gustavo Poyet joked that 1973 "was the first number I learnt" on joining the club. No one who has worked for the Black Cats could ever claim ignorance about the significance of those four digits, marking the year of Sunderland's last major trophy, the FA Cup.
"Memories of 1973 are all over the place," Brown admits. "Even at the training ground, there are photos down every corridor. It just shows you what it can all mean for the club. It would be great to do it again."
Emulating the heroics of Jimmy Montgomery, Ian Porterfield et al is a regular January topic, normally swiftly followed by the crash down to earth of another FA Cup exit. This year cup glory, in the League Cup, is a realistic possibility. Sunderland will be second favourites for tonight's semi-final first leg at the Stadium of Light, but both teams have made a habit of upsetting the odds this season. The Red Devils are under severe pressure after Sunday's FA Cup exit at home to Swansea City, with their chances of retaining the Premier League fading fast.
Whereas they have looked less than the sum of their parts at times, the opposite has been true of the Black Cats in big one-off games.
"We're 100% in the cups this season," Brown points out. "I can't really put my finger on why we are doing better in the cups than the league. Maybe it is just that cup spirit. If we can take that into the league games, it would be perfect but right now, it's the cup that occupies the mind.
"We can take an awful lot out of our wins against Southampton and Chelsea in the previous rounds and I think we will do that. They were good teams coming here but we beat them fair and square.
"At times, we have played some good football this season. Maybe it's just that end product we can do that little bit better. But that is everyone in the team – I am not pointing fingers.
"We've got to take encouragement from the fact we have done well against the big teams – Chelsea and (Manchester) City (in the Premier League). The lads have got to keep that in their heads, trying to remember what we did in those game. That should give us confidence." There are two ways of looking at Manchester United's mindset. Either back-to-back defeats for the second time in just over a week will add a weight to the visiting players' shoulders which could crush them, or Sunderland had better prepare themselves for a real backlash.
It is no surprise to hear which one Brown is gearing himself up for.
"They will want to win the cup just as much as us," he warns. "But it should give us more confidence that United are not having one of their best seasons and that is something we have to take advantage of. Make no mistake, however, they will be just as hungry as us. They want a trophy.
"In all my years there I can't remember us losing too many semi-finals. We had a pretty good record once we reached the later stages. We were favourites in most of them and I can't recall us losing to an underdog. United are pretty much up there with the best teams when it comes to reaching cup finals so we are under no illusions. It's a tough ask.
"But it's all about us. We have the first leg at home and it is not one of those when you feel you can get a draw and then sneak a win at Old Trafford. We are looking to win this one and if we do that, we can set our tactics for the return.
"I don't really know what's been going on there but they won't be happy with results so far. They are used to being top three all the time. They won it (the Premier League) last season and would be expecting to win it again this year. But a lot has changed and it is maybe taking a bit more time. Personally, I feel whoever had gone in (to replace Sir Alex Ferguson as manager) it would have been the same.
"I feel sure United will turn it around but I would say that, wouldn't I? Right now I would have thought they would be hurting, not being up there with the top teams. So many of them have won so many things and their pride will have been dented. I am sure they all believe that if they carry on giving 100%, it will all come together but until then, they have got to stick together."
All well and good, but Sunderland fans are only interested in how their team can turn things around after half a season rooted to the bottom of the table.
"We just have to keep at it," says Brown, captain for the day on Sunday, but set to hand the armband back to his fit-again central defensive partner John O'Shea tonight. "We can't afford to let our heads drop at any point. We need to keep confidence intact. We have to show commitment on the pitch and show we really want it. I know we keep saying it, but I can think of many times we should have nicked a goal here and there and that is not just down to one or two players.
"We get chances as a team – on Sunday for example, I could have scored but the ball just stuck there. There is no point feeling down about it because there is still half a season to go. In the league, we are in a bad position and need to sort it out.
"We have shown signs of improvement only to get kicked again. We have to keep believing."
As well as adding to their frustration, Sunderland's progress in the competition has re-opened the debate about the value of cup glory versus league survival.
"Someone asked me the other day which I would rather do – win the cup or stay up?" Brown says. "I would rather stay up because I've been fortunate to win a few things but we are in the semi-finals now and I'm desperate to win. It would be massive for this club to reach Wembley.
"Since I have been here, I have only played against United once due to injuries.
"That was at Old Trafford and I scored an own goal! So this will be the first time I've played against them here. Bring it on!"

Commvault grew revenues by 9 per cent year-on-year in its fiscal first 2018 quarter, ended June 30, 2017.
There was a typical seasonal effect with the prior, fourth fiscal 2027 quarter, being higher. The bald revenue and net income numbers, with change percentages where appropriate, are:
|Commvault Quarterly Results
|Q1 fy2018
|Q1 fy2017
|Q4 fy2017
|GAAP Net Income
The loss for the latest quarter is almost 90 per cent less than a year ago.
A chart showing the quarterly trends indicates a seasonal effect depressing Commvault's first quarter. It also shows how this latest quarter is higher than the year-ago one which, in turn, was higher than the year-ago quarter.
Commvault revenues and net income by quarter to Q1 fy2018
Commvault's software-only revenues grew 18 per cent year-on-year to $74.8m, which was flat compared to the prior quarter. Services revenue was $91.2m, up 3 per cent both annually and sequentially.
Its chairman, president and CEO, Bob Hammer, tells the world: "We began fiscal year 2018 with a solid first quarter, highlighted by 18 per cent year-over-year software revenue growth. All of our global sales regions contributed to our year-over-year software revenue growth which was driven by a significant increase in the dollar amount of enterprise revenue transactions and strong initial results from our new committed subscription based pricing model."
He says Commvault continues to see see improved business momentum. It made a $3m prepayment for software royalties related to offerings for hyperconverged environments and scale-out appliances.
Stifel analyst Aaron Rakers called it a solid quarter, with strong year on year growth in deferred revenue, which implies growth is coming in maintenance revenues. Referring to the hyper-converged area he says he expects Commvault's new hyperconverged strategy to become a more visible incremental growth driver over the next three quarters:
"Our discussions suggest Commvault's hyper-converged enterprise opportunities could reflect deal sizes that are as much as 2-3x larger than the company's traditional enterprise deals." ®

Bill Cook was my teacher and mentor in high school, and one of the most important influences on my life. I should add that I have been fortunate and blessed to have experienced some amazing teachers, including the poet Anne Sexton and the eighteenth century scholar Paul Fussell, but none were better teachers or more important than Bill Cook.
When I arrived at Princeton High School with hopes of becoming a poet, aspiring to be anotheer Ezra Pound or T.S. Eliot, he gave me all the encouragement and support I needed. On many afternoons I would hang out after school with him, sometimes till 4:00 or even 5:00 pm, and have intense conversations about my favorite readings from Ovid to Kafka, and he was also willing to listen and give me feedback. Cook's readings were as eclectic as mine, and his mind just a as curious and quirky.
He was a brilliant teacher, with a great sense of humor. He was also master of the art of "put on." Once he was teaching "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" in an honors class, and argued with a straight face that Prufrock was an heroic figure. Finally, one of the student (I wish it had been me) raised his hand and said, "He seems like a loser to me. " Cook smiled a toothy grin and we realized he was putting us on. After that, we never accepted anything that Bill said uncritically.
Bill also give me glimpses into what it's like to be a black man in a white world. He used to moonlight as a bartender in New Hope and one of his customs was a member of the White Citizen's Council. Bill pretended to be an Uncle Tom and listened to everything this man said and just smiled and said, "Yes, sir." Later he'd tell us what this bigot said and helped us to see the white world from a black perspective.
I also remember when he gave a speech at a gathering of teachers--this was when I myself had become a teacher--and his talk was so funny and provocative that many of us gave him a standing ovation. I noticed that others did not seem amused or pleased. Maybe it was the part about quoting his mother who said of someone: "He was so bad he busted the bottom out of hell."
The obit doesn't mention that Bill was gay. I didn't realize this until my senior year and a faculty wife told me, "Bill Cook is as gay as pink ink." I couldn't believe it at first. There was nothing stereotypically gay about Bill, unlike my French teacher, Carmen Precioso (yes, that was his real name!). But whether Bill or gay or not didn't make any difference to me. These two teachers were by far the best I had in high school. Flamboyant and funny, Carmen spoke only French in the classes I took with him. He was passionate about French literature, and we read Camus, Racine, Voltaire and other classic French writers--for which I am deeply grateful. Bill introduced me to the full range of English and American literature. What a gift these two gay men were in my life! They are probably the reason I have never felt uncomfortable about gay people. After all, where would I be today without them?
I am glad that I was able to get in touch with Bill just before he died (thanks to our mutual friend Peter Bien of Dartmouth College). In a series of emails I let him know how much he meant to me and he reciprocated with kind words of appreciation. In this age when teachers, especially public school teachers, are disrespected, I am glad that I honored a man who transformed countless lives with his love of learning Reading Bill's obit, listing his remarkable achievements as a teacher actor and writer, I realize that I was indeed fortunate and blessed to have a man of Bill Cook's calibre as my teacher and friend. He went from being the chair of English department at Princeton High to the chair of English and Black Studies at Dartmouth, and was one of the most outstanding educators of his generation. He had a far-ranging, agile mind that could make insightful and often unexpected connections between ancient Greek playwrights and contemporary black poets, between Catullus and Charlie Parker. He made literature and drama seem way to cool to be confined to a class room.
Rest in peace, dear friend! I will cherish you in my heart as long as I have breath and can recite Prufrock by heart.
Rest in peace, dear friend! I will cherish you in my heart as long as I have breath and can recite Prufrock by heart.
William W. Cook, 83, of Hanover, NH (formerly of Trenton), died on Monday, May 15, 2017 at the Genesis Center in Lebanon, NH. Born and educated in Trenton, Prof. Cook was a stellar student in the Trenton Public School System. He was the Valedictorian of his graduating class at Trenton State College, where he majored in English. Prof. Cook went on to teach English and Drama in the public school systems of Trenton and Princeton, NJ. He was the Israel Evans Professor of Oratory and Belles Lettres Emeritus at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH, where he had served as chair of the Departments of English and African American Studies. Prof. Cook also served on several key governing councils and committees at the college, including the Committee Advisory to the President. He served as President, National Chair, and a founding leader of the National Council of Teachers of English, the Conference on College Communication and Composition, and the National Black Theater Conference, respectively. He also led the first years of the Mississippi Delta Teaching Project. In addition to earning a reputation for being one of the most effective educators of his generation, Prof. Cook was also an accomplished poet, author, and production director. His work touched on African American and ancient Greek and Roman poetry and also explored the intersections of music and poetry. Bill was widely known for talents as an illustrator and artist. He had a satiric eye and a clever pen. Son of the late Rev. Cleve Cook, Sr. and Frances Cook, Bill is survived by many nieces and nephews in and around Trenton, including his beloved sister Louise's son, Leonard Watkins (and wife, Vera). Funeral services will be held on Saturday, May 20, 2017 at 10:00 am at Union Baptist Church, 301 Pennington Ave., Trenton, NJ. Interment will be in Greenwood Cemetery.

As a result of increasing consumer awareness with regard to the health benefits of reducing one's alcohol consumption, Australians are seeking lighter wine varieties with a lower ABV. This is being reflected in the decline of fortified wines due to their relatively high alcohol content, while strong varietals of red wine, such as Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, are also experiencing a decline in share.
Australians are increasingly showing a willingness to try new wine brands, flavours and varietals rather than stick with one label. This is being reflected in the increasing popularity of rosé wines and lighter reds and the growth of prosecco.
The combined effects of increasing health-consciousness and a consumer willingness to try new products will be key in further driving the popularity of lighter red wines, sparkling and rosé wines over the forecast period as these provide consumers with both refreshment and a lower alcohol content, while also being seen as fashionable. While white wines can also provide this refreshment, rosé and red wines will be the key growth drivers in still light grape wine, while prosecco will be seen as a substitute for still light white wines on special occasions and for refreshment purposes.
In a category with multiple competitors and brands, packaging and labelling will be key to building a long- term competitive advantage. Wine producers have capitalised on this, with wine in cans offering a novel and unique alternative to traditional bottled wine.
Future competition will likely increasingly come from small wine brands and operators. Primarily, this will be driven by the curiosity and open-mindedness of Australian consumers in trying new experiences, flavours and brands.
Accolade Wines remained the leading player in wine in 2018 thanks to a strong and diverse brand portfolio, offering wines at a variety of price points. The company's Hardy's Wine and Banrock Station in particular have enjoyed growing popularity and were among the best performing brands in 2018 thanks to the rise of rosé wines as well as growing interest in grape varietals such as Grenache and Sangiovese.

Age 79, lung cancer is a bitch. *snip*
damn...Another DS9er we won't get to see reprise in any future STO content.
So who going to be the third
Self: Meltrans are already culture shocked, except their response is to squeal like high school girls at a boy band concert and discharge energy weapons in random directions.Weirdo: Sounds like the proper reaction to a Macross Cannon to me.
And of course if even a single Constitution had shown up onscreen for even a single second, you would have been able to hear the mass squeeing from orbit.
So, now I'm imagining people boxing up Overlords for loading as cargo. "Nope, totally not a DropShip. Everyone knows you can't fit a DropShip in a WarShip! It's...a ten thousand ton box of marshmallows! Yeah. For the Heavy Guards big annual smores party."
I saw him first in "My best friend is a vampire".There he was the cool teacher to a newbie vampire. I liked it.But sadly we all get older.So, RIP Mr Auberjonois.And thanks for the funny time I had while watching your movies etc.
He died of metastatic lung cancer

No drinking – Failed. Lasted a total of 5 days. Will cut down a bit from now on, but I ain't gonna become a monk!
Daily exercise – Qualified success. Did 6 days out of 7, including a good 2-3 hour session today. Will continue as much as I can.
Something new – Done. Travelled first class (see below). Not overly impressed.
Other than that, I found focus in what I'm doing, and am somewhat at peace with what the future holds. It might get a bit random, but it's all good practice.

I still listen to Porter Robinson's Worlds more than a couple times a week. It's sort of like a gelato after a large meal, it cleanses the palate while leaving a very pleasant taste behind. While many people scorned the album for its abrupt separation from Porter's previous style, the album can absolutely stand on its own in terms of musical excellence. Many remixes were made of many of the tracks, most notably probably "Lionhearted" and "Sad Machine." That didn't stop people from experimenting with the other tracks, though.
Volknor, for instance, chose to use "Fresh Static Snow" and turn it into something close to a ballad. The original is a glitchy, guitar-driven tune that has some feels in it, but Volknor slows it down considerably. Every kick hits like a punch in the heart, and the extended guitar riffs have a significant emotion behind them; the piano notes are more pronounced and prevalent throughout the track; and the vocals make a significant dent in the overall execution of the track. I probably could not have asked for a better re-work of this track.

Filed under: Stop climate change | Tags: Chang[e], Climate Change, Copenhagen, Philippines, President Obama
The month of July has ended with only a handful of posts in this blog!
Perhaps the photo below would give you an idea as to how the month fared in terms of how things are here in the Philippines…
I took those two pictures on two separate occasions on my way to work. Basically the whole month was highlighted with raging torrential showers. Which basically made it really difficult for most of us to work or at the very least get to the office to work…
Anyways as I welcome the month of August I am also getting goosebumps mainly because of the fact that mankind's fate (in terms of responding to the challenge of global climate change) is about to be decided on 126 days, 13 hours, 28 minutes and 47 seconds from now.
The world's leaders meet at the end of 2009 in Copenhagen to determine the fate of the climate. They could set us on the path to a deep emissions cuts or they could lock the planet into catastrophic, irreversible climate change.
I am among the many who are hoping for commitments to legally binding, timely and deep emissions reductions that are ambitious, equitable and fair at Copenhagen, and I invite you to make yourself counted among our ranks.
Please click here to visit this link and ask U.S. President Obama to champion our cause. 🙂

Good to see that people still know what they are talking about. So much BS around these days!

Passenger Name Record Privacy Policy
U.S. law requires airlines operating flights to, from, or through the United States to provide the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), with certain passenger reservation information, called Passenger Name Record (PNR) data, primarily for purposes of preventing, detecting, investigating, and prosecuting terrorist offenses and related crimes and certain other crimes that are transnational in nature. This information is collected from airline travel reservations and is transmitted to CBP prior to departure.
Collection of this information from air carriers is authorized by 49 U.S.C. § 44909(c)(3) and its implementing (interim) regulations at 19 CFR 122.49d. These statutory and regulatory authorities require each air carrier operating passenger flights in foreign air transportation to, from, or through the United States to provide CBP with electronic access to PNR data to the extent it is collected and contained in the air carrier's reservation and/or departure control systems.
Further, in order to permit transfers of PNR data to the U.S., the European Union (E.U.) has determined that U.S. laws, in conjunction with CBP policies regarding the protection of personal data, provide an adequate basis upon which to permit transfers of PNR data to the U.S. consistent with applicable E.U. law. An updated U.S.-E.U. PNR Agreement was signed in December, 2011.1 Provision of this information is mandatory for all air carriers transporting people to, from, or through the United States.

Schechter Names Incoming Lower Division Principal and Early Childhood Assistant Principal
Schechter is pleased to announce that the school's leadership has named Ellen Agulnick, Gan Shelanu Director, to the newly created position of Lower Division Principal for the next school year. Pre-kindergarten teacher, Deborah (Debbie) Moukit, will be named Assistant Principal of the Early Childhood Program and will manage the day-to-day operations under Ellen's leadership.
In her new role, Ellen will oversee both Schechter's Early Childhood Program and Lower School. Head of School Rabbi Elliot Goldberg says, "Ellen has made tremendous contributions to our community and, with this new position, she will have an even greater impact at Schechter in the years to come."
Members of the Lower School faculty and staff met with the school's search consultants earlier this winter and discussed the qualities they would like to see embodied by the Lower School Principal including passion and excitement for Jewish day school education; successful experience leading and administrating a school; knowledge of best practices in teaching and learning; and, of course, a love of children.
Schechter Board of Trustees President, Lauri Union, shares, "We are blessed at this time to have someone who embodies these qualities and is already part of our Schechter community and our senior leadership team. Our search consultants interviewed Ellen and were impressed with her strong administrative skills, educational philosophy and vision for Schechter's young learners."
Ellen came to Schechter over six years ago to envision, design and build our Early Childhood Program. Through Ellen's leadership and expertise, Gan Shelanu has nurtured the hearts, spirits, minds and bodies of over 200 children since its founding five years ago. Union adds, "Ellen is a visionary leader with a passion for helping children and their teachers to reach their full potential."
Ellen holds a B.A. from Brandeis University in psychology and elementary education, and a M.A. in Jewish education from Hebrew College. She holds Massachusetts state certifications in both early childhood administration and elementary education for grades one through six. She has over 25 years of experience in both early childhood and elementary school settings. In fact, Ellen began her career in education as a student teacher at Schechter's Lower School!
Debbie has over 18 years of experience in both early childhood and elementary settings. She received a B.A. in education from Lesley University and holds Massachusetts state certifications in early childhood administration and elementary education. Ellen shares, "Debbie brings expertise, warmth and spirit to our youngest learners and has much to offer in her new role." She will also continue as a music specialist and part-time pre-kindergarten classroom teacher.
Founded in 1961, Solomon Schechter Day School is a premier Jewish independent school in Newton, Massachusetts for close to 500 children ages 18 months through eighth grade. Schechter's unparalleled academic program fosters critical thinking, academic preparedness and a strong sense of Jewish identity. For more information, visit www.ssdsboston.org.

Contemporary Drawing and Painting Courses
Images produced by students at the Seawhite Studio
"The virility of drawing lies in the immediate necessity to make decisions – with it departs the fears and the funk, and to that it owes its vibrant qualities." (David Bomberg)
Dear Visitor
Working from the moving figure offers artists the chance to connect with their subject in an immediate and vital way. The popularity of Gary Goodman's figure-based course "Large Scale Expressive Drawing" (this week's course is sold out) is testament to the interest and appetite that students have for working from the figure and being free and expressive in their drawings.
In this newsletter, we want to tell you more about another dynamic drawing course which has the figure as its heart. THE FIGURE: AN INTENSIVE EXPERIMENTAL DRAWING COURSE is a wonderful and unique opportunity to spend three days with three tutors, who specialize in charcoal drawing, film and animation. With the focus being on the moving figure, students will create charcoal and ink drawings from the models as well as from the animations they create. It's an exciting process that encourages students to play and discover new ways of describing the figure.
A good example of how animation can augment and enhance the drawing process is the work of South African artist William Kentridge who works experimentally with drawing and animation. Take a look at these films which describe his work and process:
William Kentridge (SFMoMA film)
William Kentridge (Tate film)
The Seawhite Studio set up for previous animation workshops
THE FIGURE: AN INTENSIVE EXPERIMENTAL DRAWING COURSE will introduce dynamic approaches to mark making, develop student's critical judgement and increase their confidence in making creative decisions about selecting, editing and inventing.
It is so much more than Life Drawing course. Working from a moving figure can have huge benefits for your work. The drawings created can have a life after the course and give lots of content for more work to be developed in your own time.
Creating paintings and drawings from a moving model produces work that is a departure from copying and illustrating. Working from a moving figure encourages intuitive sifting and selecting. The movement brings a change of pace to the drawing, a sense of urgency that necessitates an impulsive response. With a problem to solve the brain and hand work more closely together. There is less time worrying and attempting to transfer our idea into an image; the resulting work comes into existence rather than being imposed.
Image: Eype Venus by John SKinner
"The idea of a posed figure is a very false situation. Our everyday experiences of people are often fleeting. Whether shaking hands, brushing past, embracing or avoiding we are constantly making decisions about our physical orientation to people. Working from a moving model in the studio is therefore good preparation for dealing with how to make a response to the world beyond ourselves." (Emily Ball)
Image: Evie Swimming, 2010, charcoal and chalk on paper, Emily Ball
(below) Float, Shimmer and Dive, 2010, oil on canvas, Emily Ball
"My drawing of Eve swimming is a good example of how the directness of the drawing experience was translated into the subsequent painting: the changes, layers and inventions produced whilst drawing directly helped me to choose the marks on the painting and the shape of the figure." (Emily Ball)

To become an ATC Healthcare Services franchisee, you'll need a minimum of $150,000 in liquid capital, a net worth of $250,000 and a total investment of $134,970-$262,170. You don't need to be a healthcare professional or have staffing industry experience to be a successful ATC Healthcare Services franchise owner. Our training program and ongoing support will provide you with a solid business plan to succeed in the industry.
ATC Healthcare is the only medical staffing franchise that provides complete back office services to take the burden of those responsibilities to let our franchisees focus on growing their business while providing reliable healthcare staffing solutions.
ATC provides the most qualified healthcare professionals. ATC's hiring process guarantees facilities and hospitals with necessary healthcare professionals to meet human resource challenges.
Learn more about owning an ATC Healthcare services franchise.
Open ATC Healthcare Services, Inc. in any of these available states: AZ, AR, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI, WY, DC.
For more than 30 years, ATC Healthcare has navigated the nuances of healthcare professional staffing. Our clients turn to us for a comprehensive understanding of trends and technological medical advances dominating the industry.
The Healthcare staffing industry is a growing and competitive market. Growth is being driven by the fact that people are living longer and the demand for nursing professionals in hospitals is always increasing.Take a look at the following statistics:
ATC Healthcare is there as your partner to help you build your business.
One of the greatest advantages that is offered to all franchisees is extensive up-front training and continuous on-going support. As your corporate partner we are with you every step of the way. When you join ATC Healthcare Services, a true partnership is formed. Comprehensive training and support are delivered by seasoned industry professionals, who have both owned and operated staffing offices on a local or regional level.
Franchising Is All About Support.
It's critical for new franchisees to enter into a brand that has proven systems and processes, as well as comprehensive training and ongoing support to make sure that franchisees hit the ground running and stay running at full speed. ATC Healthcare is proud to offer a turn-key package to get you launched smoothly and continue throughout the life of your business. We believe that initial training is one of the key factors that determine how well a franchisee will perform once they're on their own. That's why ATC Healthcare offers a comprehensive training process to ensure that all of our new franchisees are well-educated on the systems and processes that go into running a successful business.
New Owner Training
As a new franchisee of ATC Healthcare, your training will start the day you sign your franchise agreement. We will begin with pre-training and telephone training covering aspects like industry background, administrative and marketing tools to local market reviews. That will then transition into full classroom training at our corporate headquarters in Lake Success, NY just miles from NYC. And the initial training will finish up with onsite training covering local market knowledge and visits in your local marketing area and setting up the next 90 day action plan.
Ongoing support will then continue with weekly operational calls, a bi weekly series of calls to discuss business tactics which includes participation from other franchisees and our annual National conference which is set up for our owners. All of the ongoing support is available to you at no additional cost and for as long as you are a partner of ATC Healthcare.
"Franchise life means to me peace of mind. I love the support of my back office. I never need to worry about new policies and procedures; my corporate office takes care of this for me. Payroll is processed and taxes are paid without worry. ATC offers me all the support I need to be a successful owner and operator. The other franchisees are available to me for support and I learn often about the strategies for success that they offer. We are a great team!" - Gina McLaughlin, Regional Franchise Owner
"Twenty years ago, I joined the ATC Healthcare family as a franchisee for Norfolk, Virginia. Within 5 years my husband and I operated 5 ATC units in the entire state including Maryland. We could not have done the rapid expansion without the Franchisor's support. The model helped us jump start the multiple locations in a short time.
I like the independence of running my own staffing business and not having to worry about whether I'll meet payroll or be able to collect my receivables. Having the back office support of payroll, billing, collections, HR, clinical and IT helped my team focus on recruitment and growing the business.
Having a national presence gives us a competitive edge especially in the current environment of Vendor Management.
With the help of ATC Healthcare we were able to build a strong organization with excellent reputation in our local markets." - Erlinda D., Franchise Owner
We are looking for franchise owners who understand the risk of owning a business. We are a service based business, we do not sell a product, we sell a service so we are more interested in owners who understand the sales and services behind the sale of a service. Understanding of marketing, sales and customer service are good qualities to have to being successful. We have a variety of successful owners from Registered Nurses, to Human Resource professionals to Executives from various industries. Healthcare experience is not necessary as we are not providing healthcare services; we provide staffing to healthcare facilities.

|O-oh, excuse me! U-um, well. I... I just- I just wanted to say that I'm a huuuuuge fan of you, Yuzu-senpai!
–Nene Nomura to Yuzu Aihara, in To be in Love.[1]
Nene Nomura (野村 寧音 Nomura Nene?) is a big fan of Yuzu Aihara and a new student at the Aihara Academy.
When Nene was still a junior high school student, she had dark hair and light-colored eyes, and wore the school uniform properly. She has since dyed her hair blonde and started customizing her uniform, like Yuzu. She usually wears her hair in short pigtails on the sides of her head. As of chapter 20, she dyes her hair back to the natural color.[2]
She seems to be rather timid, as she apparently stalked Yuzu for some time before building up the courage to talk to her, and waited for Mei to go away.[3] Despite her shyness, she does her best to overcome her fears. She holds the belief that Yuzu and Harumi are (or should be) a couple, claiming herself to be part of the HaruYuzu faction (はるゆず派 HaruYuzu-ha?).[4] Some time's her fantasy of Haruyuzu can case her to have a nosebleed or even faints from excitement.
- "Nene" (寧音?) means "serene sound".
- "Nomura" (野村?) means "field village".
- The way she refers collectively to Yuzu and Harumi as "HaruYuzu" (はるゆず?) refers to how Japanese fans form couple names, joining the first two syllables of each character's names.

She's now complaining her way through the murky world of contracting."

Hélène helped my wife and I renovate a holiday home that we had purchased. Because it was a holiday home it was at a remote location so I was happy to engage the services of somebody that I knew, from our first meeting, that I could trust. Hélène met us at our home and on site. I must say that the finished product exceeds our expectations. Her attention to detail and commitment to the project through hard work shines through in the finished product. I hope that the opportunity will arise to engage Hélène again in another project soon. Bob & Georgina, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.
Initially we engaged Helene to work with us on re- styling our kitchen / new conservatory. The project evolved into a much larger one which essentially encompassed a re-styling of our entire house. Helene is fantastic to deal with, a real professional with a great ability to match our desires with her own very clear and strong sense of style. She is also very efficient and responsive and kept the project on track. She has transformed the look and feel of our home and we are really very pleased with the result. We have no hesitation in recommending her services. Siobhan, Kilkenny.
From the initial concept to execution, it is a pleasure to work with Helene.
Her professionalism, attention to detail and in-depth industry expertise is invaluable and ensures the entire design process is as efficient and effective as possible. We initially engaged with Helene to complete and enhance a few key rooms in our new-build, however that has now extended to the entire house. We are extremely happy with the results thus far and look forward to continuing to work with Helene. Many thanks! Elaine, Wexford.
Hélene Broderick Interiors designed a cooperative learning environment for our boarding school in 2014. The brief was to create a flexible, imaginative, fun space where young teenagers might learn to be flexible, imaginative and have fun while learning. The choice of vibrant colours, bold design and durable furniture helped to create the place that we are proud to display to prospective parents and where our students are inspired to learn. Martin Wallace, Clongowes Wood College, Kildare.
In our experience Hélène is a skilled and consummate professional who has always been most agreeable to work with .
She has an extensive knowledge of all aspects of decorating and a wonderful sense of colour.
In the many projects she has assisted us with , she had been excellent in giving advice, understanding our specific needs and considerate of our budget requirements. She has also given lots of practical advice and solved many design problems for us over the years. Her work in our home has been much admired and her input to it's design & decoration is a constant source of pleasure to us. Lillian, Carlow.
Helene has provided a professional and complete service to us. Our brief to her was to update decor in our home following a renovation. Helene's innate sense of colour coupled with her attention to detail has resulted in our having a stylish and practical family home. A sense of continuity throughout through use of subtle colours and bold accents/statement pieces is very easy on the eye and easy to live with. Each room retains a clear identity and charachter. Her strong work ethic is evident in the research and thought she put into the project. Helene demands the highest standards from herself and this is reflected in those she chooses to recommend - joiners, carpet fitters, window treatments etc. The project was delivered on time and on budget. I would recommend her without hesitation and look forward to an opportunity to consult with her in the future. Suzanne, Waterford.
Helene is fantastic , very intuitive . Great ideas for all budgets and provides a very comprehensive service from basic mood board to full fit out I'm delighted with our result , with Helene's input we have achieved a very elegant comfortable result that we enjoy every day . Many Thanks, Ann Boland.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Helene.We were building on a playroom extension and at the same time 'doing up' our downstairs. I was expecting twins and working full time and didn't know where to start!!! Helene was fantastic from the outset; from input to the design of the actual extension, less disruptive solutions to elements I hated (eg the kitchen units were transformed by just painting then, the kitchen top similarly by sanding and revarnishing and floors I thought I would definitely have to replace were similarly transformed.)!!! Helene essentially brought everything to me so all decisions - sofas, paint colours, lights, curtains, built in units etc were made in my own home. I must say I didn't appreciate all the time and ultimately money I would save by not having to go around the shops looking at fabrics, paints etc. Also anyone of the contractors hired by Helene were of a very high standard and she coordinated it all. Ultimately Helene transformed my house into a home that I love living in. Emer Ahern, Kilkenny.
Excellent experience from consultation to finish, Helene provided a seamless coordination of a whole house renovation on a limited budget. We now have a beautiful home that we are proud to show off. Katrina, Castleknock, Dublin.
Thanks to Hèlène we have a wonderful, peaceful, bright, luxurious, relaxing and very elegant living room and dining room. Our hallway and stairs and landing are beautiful too. We are thrilled with our new home'. Helene's expertise in interior decoration is second to none. Nothing was a bother from beginning to end. The colours she chose are quiet and peaceful. We would never have brought it all together the way she did. She ordered and delivered everything from start to finish including upholstery, carpet, lighting, curtains, et all. Thank you Hèlène. We are so happy. Pat Shortall, Kilkenny.
We used Helene Broderick Interiors for advice on materials, colours, layout options, fabrics & furnishings, budgets and contractors during the recent build of our house. We were offered a very professional and timely service which we found invaluable at a stressful time. Helene Broderick Interiors provided us with expertise that we could depend on and as a result the house has a very fresh and vibrant feel that we love and which has been complimented on numerous occasions.
We would highely recommend Helene Broderick Interiors. Dian & Pat, Kilkenny

Members of the House of Keys have reacted angrily to news that the next Chief Secretary will be paid up to £137,977.
The Chairman of the Civil Service Commission John Houghton told MHKs that there hadn't been time to review the pay scale before the start of the recruitment process for Mary Williams' replacement.
Mrs Williams, who currently holds the top civil service role on the Island, is set to retire at the end of December.
Interviews for her successor are being held over the next week
Onchan MHK Peter Karran thinks it's out of order to expect civil servants to take a pay freeze, when such large salaries are being handed out [play clip]

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said equities are at risk of a temporary selloff, citing rising bond yields and high valuations.
The bank cut its rating on stocks to neutral, the equivalent of hold, for the next three months, according to a quarterly research report from its portfolio strategy group today. Goldman Sachs also lowered corporate credit to underweight and predicted that government bond yields will increase.
"The acceleration in economic growth is largely behind us and geopolitical risks are elevated," a group of 11 strategists, including David Kostin, Kathy Matsui and Peter Oppenheimer, said in the report, known as the global opportunity asset locator. "In the short term we worry that a rise in bond yields will drive equities lower."
Goldman Sachs advised investors to hold fewer government bonds because yields will probably rise as U.S. inflation accelerates and the Federal Reserve stops its bond purchases in October. Treasurys returned 3.3 percent this year through yesterday, according to Bloomberg World Bond Indexes, the most over the equivalent period in four years.
U.S. and European stocks fell today as companies from Amazon.com Inc. to LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA missed earnings estimates. A Commerce Department report showed orders for U.S. business equipment rose in June following a revised drop the prior month, indicating corporate investment remains stop-and-go and could hold back growth.

Advertised Equity Crowdfunding Pitch
Crowdfunding has played a huge role in helping businesses get the boost they need and gain the funds they need. Equity Crowdfunding is the same practice however; it involves the selling of shares within your business as opposed to products/promotions.
Now you would assume that the biggest problem when pitching your business/idea is not fulfilling your target, yes? Not always the case! With the Crowdfunding market growing at a large rate (410% from 2012-2014) the amount of investment fuelled into businesses is extraordinary, last year over £27m in the UK. The Market has become so accessible to everyone that anyone can invest. These factors have created a situation for some pitches which is the exact opposite of which one would worry about; overfunded campaigns. This is essentially disequilibrium in the market; the demand for the shares has exceled availability.
It's a bitter sweet problem to have and can be overwhelming for the business, not to mention flattering. It's of course reassuring; it shows that the business has a strong backing. Of course you aren't required to let your campaign be overfunded, but if given the chance and your target is reached early, it's definitely something to consider.
You need to look at whether or not you want or need more investors? Could you do with extra funds or are you capable of reaching your goal with the original funds? Are you willing to give away more equity in your business or have you parted with a big enough share as it is? This is the most important thing to ask yourself. It's great to have strong investors who want to see you succeed just as much as you want to. Some will even bring knowledge to the table or diversities that can help you reach your goals but how much are you willing to let in? Can you afford to give away a higher share of the business than you originally intend?
These are all the questions you need to ask yourself before making a decision:
Sometimes it's a great decision to make. Take Levi Roots for example. Reggae Reggae Foods LTD received a £50,000 investment for 40% equity. Levi ended up giving away a higher percentage of equity than expected, okay he wasn't 'overfunded' but he still had to make the decision on whether or not to give away a higher percentage of his business. 9 years later and Levi has a £30m business. The connections and expert knowledge that Peter Jones and Richard Farleigh bought to the table of course played a large role in the company's growth, alongside a strong product.
The Crowdfunding industry is in a real boom. It's rapidly going global and there is a high interest in the market from existing and new investors. Don't forget, this is a highly risky and illiquid marketplace where many projects fail and investors can lose all capital invested, however it's hard not to get swept up in the excitement of it all. Just look at Australia's first equity Crowdfunding deal which just ended, raising $675,000 ($175,000 over their target). It's a great time for start-up and ambitious businesses, just remember to look at what you are offering and make sure you are happy with your decision, sometimes it's best to bite the bullet and open up. Who knows, you could turn your homemade sauce into £30m too!

The Final Solution
Posted by Thunder Pig on April 30, 2008
Tomorrow is Yom Hazikaron la Shoah ve-Gvuta, or Yom HaShoah for those of us can't speak Hebrew. It means Remembrance Day for the Holocaust and Heroism. Schedule.
Tomorrow at 10.00am Israel Time everything will stop for two minutes during which time air raid sirens will sound throughout Israel to remember the 6 million dead Jewish victims of Adolf Hitler.
Six million Jews, among them one-and-a-half million children, were murdered in the Shoah while the world remained silent. The worldwide Holocaust memorial project "Unto Every Person There is a Name", now in its nineteenth consecutive year, is a unique project designed to perpetuate their memory as individuals and restore their identity and dignity, through the public recitation of their names on Yom Hashoah – Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day. By personalizing the individual tragedies of the Jewish victims of Nazi Germany and its collaborators, this project counters persistent efforts by enemies of the State of Israel and the Jewish people to deny the reality of the Holocaust and cast it as history's seminal hoax. "Unto Every Person" also defies attempts to universalize this genocide and cast off its principal characteristic as a unique calamity of the Jewish people, while also building appreciation of the Shoah's tragic impact on the Jewish reality until today.

There are even groups locally. I will not link to them. The point of the last few links is that it can happen again, and we must be ever vigilant in the fight against these evil people. We must never allow them to accumulate power in our nation. It is to our discredit that their brethren have been allowed to accumulate power in the Middle East.

Corn germ
The germ of a cereal is the reproductive part that germinates to grow into a plant;it is the embryo of the seed. Along with bran, germ is often a by-product of the milling that produces refined grain products. Cereal grains and their components, such as wheat germ oil, rice bran oil, and maize may be used as a source from which vegetable oilis extracted, or used directly as a food ingredient. The germ is retained as an integral part of whole-grain foods.Non-whole grain methods of milling are intended to isolate the endosperm, which is ground into flour, with removal of both the husk (bran) and the germ. Removal of bran is aimed at producing a flour with a white rather than a brown color, and eliminating fiber: neither of these objectives is desirable from the nutritional viewpoint. Germ is rich in polyunsaturated fats (which have a tendency to oxidize and become rancid on storage) and so germ removal improves the storage qualities of flour.
Corn germ oil also named maize oil
Corn oil (maize oil) is oil extracted from the germ of corn (maize). Its main use is in cooking, where its high smoke point makes refined corn oil a valuable frying oil. It is also a key ingredient in some margarines. Corn oil is generally less expensive than most other types of vegetable oils. One bushel of corn contains 1.55 pounds of corn oil (2.8% by weight). Corn agronomists have developed high-oil varieties; however, these varieties tend to show lower field yields, so they are not universally accepted by growers.
Corn oil is also a feedstock used for biodiesel. Other industrial uses for corn oil include soap, salve, paint, rustproofing for metal surfaces, inks, textiles, nitroglycerin, and insecticides. It is sometimes used as a carrier for drug molecules in pharmaceuticalpreparations.
Almost all corn oil is expeller pressed, then solvent extracted using hexane or 2-methylpentane (isohexane).The solvent is evaporated from the corn oil, recovered, and re-used. After extraction, the corn oil is then refined by degumming and/or alkali treatment, both of which remove phosphatides. Alkali treatment also neutralizes free fatty acids and removes color (bleaching). Final steps in refining include winterization (the removal of waxes), and deodorization by steam distillation of the oil at 232–260 °C(450–500 °F) under a high vacuum.
Some specialty oil producers manufacture unrefined, 100% expeller pressed corn oil. This is a more expensive product since it has a much lower yield than the combination expeller and solvent process, as well as smaller market share.
Effects on health
Some medical research suggests that excessive levels of omega-6 fatty acids, relative to omega-3 fatty acids, may increase the probability of a number of diseases and depression.Modern Western diets typically have ratios of omega-6 to omega-3 in excess of 10 to 1, some as high as 30 to 1, partly due to corn oil which has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of 49:1. The optimal ratio is thought to be 4 to 1 or lower.
A high intake of omega-6 fatty acids may increase the likelihood that postmenopausal women will develop breast cancer.Similar effects were observed on prostate cancer.Other analysis suggested an inverse association between total polyunsaturated fatty acids and breast cancer risk.

-by Dr.Cynthia Boaz
July 2, 2011- There is nothing more sacred to the maintenance of democracy than a free press. Access to comprehensive, accurate and quality information is essential to the manifestation of Socratic citizenship - the society characterized by a civically engaged, well-informed and socially invested populace. Thus, to the degree that access to quality information is willfully or unintentionally obstructed, democracy itself is degraded.
It is ironic that in the era of 24-hour cable news networks and "reality" programming, the news-to-fluff ratio and overall veracity of information has declined precipitously. Take the fact Americans now spend on average about 50 hours a week using various forms of media, while at the same time cultural literacy levels hover just above the gutter. Not only does mainstream media now tolerate gross misrepresentations of fact and history by public figures (highlighted most recently by Sarah Palin's ludicrous depiction of Paul Revere's ride), but many media actually legitimize these displays. Pause for a moment and ask yourself what it means that the world's largest, most profitable and most popular news channel passes off as fact every whim, impulse and outrageously incompetent analysis of its so-called reporters. How did we get here? Take the enormous amount of misinformation that is taken for truth by Fox audiences: the belief that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and that he was in on 9/11, the belief that climate change isn't real and/or man-made, the belief that Barack Obama is Muslim and wasn't born in the United States, the insistence that all Arabs are Muslim and all Muslims are terrorists, the inexplicable perceptions that immigrants are both too lazy to work and are about to steal your job. All of these claims are demonstrably false, yet Fox News viewers will maintain their veracity with incredible zeal. Why? Is it simply that we have lost our respect for knowledge?
My curiosity about this question compelled me to sit down and document the most oft-used methods by which willful ignorance has been turned into dogma by Fox News and other propagandists disguised as media. The techniques I identify here also help to explain the simultaneously powerful identification the Fox media audience has with the network, as well as their ardent, reflexive defenses of it.
The good news is that the more conscious you are of these techniques, the less likely they are to work on you. The bad news is that those reading this article are probably the least in need in of it.
1. Panic Mongering. This goes one step beyond simple fear mongering. With panic mongering, there is never a break from the fear. The idea is to terrify and terrorize the audience during every waking moment. From Muslims to swine flu to recession to homosexuals to immigrants to the rapture itself, the belief over at Fox seems to be that if your fight-or-flight reflexes aren't activated, you aren't alive. This of course raises the question: why terrorize your own audience? Because it is the fastest way to bypasses the rational brain. In other words, when people are afraid, they don't think rationally. And when they can't think rationally, they'll believe anything.
2. Character Assassination/Ad Hominem. Fox does not like to waste time debating the idea. Instead, they prefer a quicker route to dispensing with their opponents: go after the person's credibility, motives, intelligence, character, or, if necessary, sanity. No category of character assassination is off the table and no offense is beneath them. Fox and like-minded media figures also use ad hominem attacks not just against individuals, but entire categories of people in an effort to discredit the ideas of every person who is seen to fall into that category, e.g. "liberals," "hippies," "progressives" etc. This form of argument - if it can be called that - leaves no room for genuine debate over ideas, so by definition, it is undemocratic. Not to mention just plain crass.
3. Projection/Flipping. This one is frustrating for the viewer who is trying to actually follow the argument. It involves taking whatever underhanded tactic you're using and then accusing your opponent of doing it to you first. We see this frequently in the immigration discussion, where anti-racists are accused of racism, or in the climate change debate, where those who argue for human causes of the phenomenon are accused of not having science or facts on their side. It's often called upon when the media host finds themselves on the ropes in the debate.
4. Rewriting History. This is another way of saying that propagandists make the facts fit their worldview. The Downing Street Memos on the Iraq war were a classic example of this on a massive scale, but it happens daily and over smaller issues as well. A recent case in point is Palin's mangling of the Paul Revere ride, which Fox reporters have bent over backward to validate. Why lie about the historical facts, even when they can be demonstrated to be false? Well, because dogmatic minds actually find it easier to reject reality than to update their viewpoints. They will literally rewrite history if it serves their interests. And they'll often speak with such authority that the casual viewer will be tempted to question what they knew as fact.
5. Scapegoating/Othering. This works best when people feel insecure or scared. It's technically a form of both fear mongering and diversion, but it is so pervasive that it deserves its own category. The simple idea is that if you can find a group to blame for social or economic problems, you can then go on to a) justify violence/dehumanization of them, and b) subvert responsibility for any harm that may befall them as a result.
6. Conflating Violence With Power and Opposition to Violence With Weakness. This is more of what I'd call a "meta-frame" (a deeply held belief) than a media technique, but it is manifested in the ways news is reported constantly. For example, terms like "show of strength" are often used to describe acts of repression, such as those by the Iranian regime against the protesters in the summer of 2009. There are several concerning consequences of this form of conflation. First, it has the potential to make people feel falsely emboldened by shows of force - it can turn wars into sporting events. Secondly, especially in the context of American politics, displays of violence - whether manifested in war or debates about the Second Amendment - are seen as noble and (in an especially surreal irony) moral. Violence become synonymous with power, patriotism and piety.
7. Bullying. This is a favorite technique of several Fox commentators. That it continues to be employed demonstrates that it seems to have some efficacy. Bullying and yelling works best on people who come to the conversation with a lack of confidence, either in themselves or their grasp of the subject being discussed. The bully exploits this lack of confidence by berating the guest into submission or compliance. Often, less self-possessed people will feel shame and anxiety when being berated and the quickest way to end the immediate discomfort is to cede authority to the bully. The bully is then able to interpret that as a "win."
8. Confusion. As with the preceding technique, this one works best on an audience that is less confident and self-possessed. The idea is to deliberately confuse the argument, but insist that the logic is airtight and imply that anyone who disagrees is either too dumb or too fanatical to follow along. Less independent minds will interpret the confusion technique as a form of sophisticated thinking, thereby giving the user's claims veracity in the viewer's mind.
