Get Ready For The Jubilee at Crave MaternityWritten by simplymaternity on Monday 21st of May 2012
We're going all patriotic this week at Simply Maternity in the run up to the big event next weekend. We don't whether it is the thought of our long standing Monarch being celebrated for such a huge achievement or simply the promise of a four day weekend, but we thought we would take advantage of the euphoric spirit that is gripping our country at the moment to celebrate the very best in red, white and blue maternity dresses at Crave.
For the red option, we have decided to ignore the clouds and the rain to opt for this gorgeous Red Print Sundress.
OK, we have cheated a little by including white in the equation, but simply by adding a pair of blue shoes or a blue scarf, you can look the part at any Royal celebration next weekend and then still have a fantastic looking dress which is going to look and feel amazing when you coordinate it with proper accessories rather than the Union Jack effect that is going to be so popular over the coming days!
This 100% cotton dress with its stunning ruffle design, is created to provide a cool simple look that will take you through the heatwave we keep being promised with style and sophistication.
The elasticated shirred panel included in this cut means this dress is going to fit all the way through your pregnancy and will also after you have had your baby and want something light and airy to put on that makes you feel good but isn't too restrictive on your post baby shape.
At only £12 right now, this dress is now less than half the original price and still available in some of the most popular sizes, so take a look and get yourself a real treat for the summer.
When it comes to wearing white, you just have to go all out and this Embellished Maxi Dress from Crave has everything you need to look cool and collected whether you are going for a lunch or attending a special occasion.
The Maxi dress style is perfect for the pregnant form as it provides definition to your waste, creating shape even if you lost yours a long time ago, but then the gentle flowing material gives a fluid and feminine style that enables you to feel light and graceful even when your body is probably heavier that it has ever been before.
Created with 100% cotton to keep you cool and relaxed during the summer season, this dress flatters you in all the right places and looks just as good at a wedding or evening out as it does for a beautiful summers day.
With a deep frill completing the skirt and neckline to bring the entire design together, this style is completely stunning and is going to make you feel amazing during your pregnancy.
High heels are a great way of keeping this dress from touching the ground and creating an evening style, or go more natural with sandals and flip flops for the most luxurious outfits that is going to be the envy of any prenatal group.
And for the icing on the cake, we have chosen this Deep Blue Ruched Side Wrap Dress from the day dresses range at Crave Maternity.
It has to be said that the wrap dress is a great style for any woman with shape in their bust and their hips, and in doing so is one the defining designs for maternity dresses.
This particular dress with a gorgeous deep blue colour and soft flexible cut is being called the 'Must Have Dress Of The Season' at Crave and it is easy to see why.
They style is easy to wear, easy to accessorise and creates a dress that looks great no matter where you are going.
The adjustable tie means that this dress is always going to fall exactly right, giving you a neat and even shape that you can be proud of even towards the very end of your pregnancy.
And after your baby is born, this dress comes into its own again by offering a smart and sophisticated outfit that will reduce with you as you return to your pre-pregnancy shape.
We have chosen just a few of our favourite dresses from Crave Maternity but there are a full range of day dresses, evening dresses and dresses for weddings and special occasions available. So take a look today and make sure you look your best for the Jubilee and beyond.

For those who are wondering how come Folk and Rock names can be used together, it is actually 'Folk Rock' and it is not any mistake. Folk rock is basically a unique kind of rock musical genre that very elegantly and uniquely combines together the rock music with the folk music. Well there has never been a sure shot answer to the actual origin of this exceptional form of rock music and neither anyone knows who originated it. But this exclusive genre was initiated widely by the band 'The Byrds', a band from the Los Angeles and that too around the 1960s era. This term 'Folk Rock' was first claimed on by music press from USA to simply portray band's music. It was done in June 1965.
Folk rock genre acquired its original antecedents from The Beatles' beat music, USA's folk music restoration along with some other British incursion bands. Folk rock genre of rock music world may incline more toward rock or toward folk in its playing, its instrumentation or in its vocal style, or even in its preference of material.
Well this innovative embodiment of folk rock get directed to an eclectic & divergent style of famous electric folk that later on got famous as British folk rock and was pioneered during the late 60s era. Since then there have been five sun genres of this unique form of rock music genre.
These genres are:
- Country Folk
- Celtic rock
- Electric Folk
- Medieval folk rock
- British progressive folk rock

I AM SO EXCITED FOR FALL. It's the only season with two names because all of its splendor and glory can't fit into just one word. In case you've forgotten what fall is all about, here are a couple of vocab words to refresh your memory:
– yarn mittens! but with none of that finger business
– LEAVES aka, the city of Northfield in formalwear
– crisp wind that makes you shiver and gives you an excuse to hug someone
– sweaters
– pink cheeks
– the smell of pencils
– Halloween
– apple cider
– football games I don't attend, but talk about nonetheless
-Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
– "You've Got Mail"
– sepia-colored everything
– candy corn
– Norah Jones-y music
– October Baseball
That's 15 non-Carleton related reasons why I am more than happy to wave goodbye to the broken toaster that has been summer of 2010. Carleton-related reasons:
– I miss The Clap
– I left my umbrella in the dining center
– I miss spending 10+ hours/week in the dance studio
– My mailbox this year is the perfect height, no joke. PERFECT. Please send me mail, otherwise I'll just subscribe to cheap magazines so that I can have a reason to open it every day.
Other Bullets:
– Tomorrow is my sister's murder mystery party for her 11th birthday party. MURDER MYSTERY party. With a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN. I've already been outcooled.
– My brother is in Cedar City being a whiner. I was half-asleep when I said goodbye to him before he left for his flight, which has upsides and downsides, but mostly downsides. But for what it's worth, I still hesitate before turning corners at my house in case he's crouching behind them.

Perceived satisfaction from everyday life among chronic schizophrenics: influences of demographic and clinical factors

- Clinical Factor
The purpose of this research was the study of possible influences and correlations of the satisfaction in everyday life among chronic schizophrenics, who are being supported from the present system of community psychiatry of Greece, due to some particular demographic and clinical factors.
Material and Methods
102 patients (56 men, 46 women) aged 27–70 years old, who live in alternative residences (50 people) or with their family (52 people) and fulfilled the criteria a) of schizophrenia according to ICD-10 and b) of chronicity, were examined. The average time of their education was 8.99 years. The patients were evaluated with the following scales: Satisfaction with Life Domains Scale (SLDS), GAF and MMSE. Patients with neuro-degenerative diseases and severe cognitive dysfunction, as well as alcohol and substance abusers were excluded from the study.
According to the analysis of the data it was found that the patients' satisfaction from everyday life: a) correlates negatively with GAF scale (Pearson's r = -0.394 and p < 0.01), and with the existence of a physical disability (Spearman's rho = -0.234 and p < 0.05), b) does not correlate with age, sex and years of education, c) shows no statistical difference in the perceived satisfaction from patients' everyday life between those who reside in their houses and those who stay in transitional hostels and in supervised apartments, d) there is a difference in the perceived satisfaction from everyday life where their entanglement or not with community services is concerned [t (100) = 2.28, p < 0.05], e) there is a difference [t (67) = 3.04, p < 0.01] between the patients who have a stable occupation and those who do not.
The satisfaction which chronic schizophrenics who live in alternatives, residences derive from their everyday life, in the frame of a developing system of community psychiatry in Greece, is correlated and influenced from certain demographic and clinical factors (functioning, physical disability), while it is not influenced from others (age, sex, years of education). The chronic schizophrenics who reside in transitional hostels and in supervised apartments can obtain the same satisfaction from their everyday life as those who reside in their houses. The patients who have a stable occupation report a better satisfaction from their everyday life than those who do not.

Have a question about something? Check here first!
If you have a question you don't see listed, send us an email
The task calendar is empty! What does that mean?
When the task calendar is empty it means all the baking opportunities have been scooped up by other volunteers - but don't worry! New opportunities are added each month, so continue checking back in periodically.
Something came up/I got sick/family emergency and I can't bake - can I buy one?
Part of what is so amazing about how we've structured this organization is that it is flexible around your schedule - but sometimes, life has it's own plans! If you are sick or there is an emergency and there are more than 72 hours before delivery, then we ask that you let us know ASAP so that we can find someone else.
One of the things our recipients love about these cakes is that they are homemade - someone from their community took the time and effort to go out of their way to make something by hand, and it is in that which makes it the most special. Bakery cakes should be reserved for either super allergens (i.e., nut-free), or last-second emergencies (<72 hours), which must be decorated with a Happy Birthday [name]. Any bakery cakes without personalization will be rejected. Please note: if you're sick, do not make your cake - let a staff member know so we can reassign it to another person, otherwise it will make the recipient sick too!
I can bake, but I can't deliver. What do I do?
We ask that you only sign up for cakes you're able to deliver, but in an event of an emergency only, you can ask your fellow volunteers for help on our Facebook group page, The Sprinkle Squad! Email us for a link to join, as it is only for current volunteers. If you still cannot find help, please let us know so we can assign someone else to bake and deliver. We cannot deliver these cakes on your behalf - we've got jobs and schedules, too!
I'm a terrible decorator - can I still volunteer?
This is a great question that we get a lot, so don't worry! Our ask is that you are able to bake a cake, apply a frosting, and write "Happy Birthday [name]". We don't ask that you're a Cake Boss - just that you're able to provide a tasty cake with their name on it. Use box cake and canned frosting - most of us do! Baking is a science, and Duncan Hines/Betty Crocker have it down. Don't be afraid to try something new - your recipient is going to be so happy for your gift regardless!
Do you have any links to good recipes for cakes and/or frosting?
Yes we do! Our two absolute favorite baking blogs are Joe Pastry and Smitten Kitchen. Joe Pastry is a science-minded baking recipe/technique blog run by a gentleman who used to work for Ina Garten (the Barefoot Contessa). His recipes are foolproof - they're how we learned there are five different types of buttercream! Smitten Kitchen is run by Deb Perelman, and our Executive Director is obsessed (her Matzoh Ball Soup recipe is on point). We highly recommend using her recipes if you're looking for a bit more exotic baking adventure.
How can I tag you on social media? What am I allowed to post?
Showing off your cakes is one of our favorite parts of this job - and we need you to send us pictures, or post them on social media so we can share them! You can email them or tag us:
Instagram: 4_goodness_cakes
Facebook: /forgoodnesscakesinc
Twitter: @FGC_org
We only ask that you don't post where your donation goes - just a picture of the cake with the child/young adult's first name and age only, and that you're a member of our Sprinkle Squad!
There aren't any cakes available in my area - the ones you have are too far away!
We understand that Los Angeles County is HUGE - and traffic is a big issue! Even a five mile drive during rush hour can take hours. Please feel free to email us about adding agencies in your area - but also understand that we have to wait until there are more of you in your area to accommodate all the recipients in the programs we'll be adding. We thank you for your patience!
I know a nonprofit For Goodness Cakes should work with!
We're always looking for more agencies to partner with and deliver cakes to their youth and young adults. Send us an email with information, or simply send the agency a link to our Agency Partnerships page. They can reach out to us through the form and we'll get in touch.
I signed up for a cake and would like some guidance
We're happy to help! Send us an email with your request and we'll do our best!

THE INCOME Tax department has raided over 50 offices and residential premises of Nirav Modi, one of India's top diamond merchants, and seized cash, jewellery and several documents that allegedly reveal tax evasion by Modi's firms, said sources familiar with the investigation.
According to sources, the raids were carried out over 10 days ago and lasted for over four days, covering Modi's office and residences in Mumbai, premises in Delhi, Jaipur and SEZ units in Surat.
The Income Tax department also conducted a survey on the offices of Gitanjali Group — one of the largest diamond companies in India and a listed jewellery retailer promoted by Modi's maternal uncle Mehul Choksi — in connection with the ongoing investigation. Modi, who grew up in Antwerp in Belgium, worked closely with Choksi for about 10 years.
The tax department is probing over half-a-dozen firms of Modi, including Firestar Diamond International Pvt Ltd, Firestar International and Stellar Diamond among others. Modi's firms are suspected to have received money from shell companies through real time gross settlement (RTGS), according to sources.
"The Income-Tax department has been carrying on searches of several firms in the gems and jewellery industry, and our group is not an exception but just one more. We have fully cooperated with the department to provide documents and clarifications. The search has taken place and concluded. Firestar is a group which conducts its business in absolute compliance with the law," said the official spokesperson of Firestar Diamond.
A recent entrant to the billionaire club, Modi was named in the Forbes India's Richest People List 2016, with a net worth of $1.74 billion. Modi is known for his high-value jewellery that cost as much as Rs 50 crore and regularly feature at auctions conducted by houses like Christie's and Sotheby's. In 2010, Modi's Golconda necklace sold for Rs 16.29 crore at a Christie's auction.
The tax authority has claimed that its probe has uncovered several discrepancies in Modi's six SEZ units in Surat. Sources said it has found evidence of bogus purchases and cash sales that were not recorded in the books of the firms.
When contacted, Choksi, chairman and managing director of Gitanjali Group, said he was not aware of any tax probe against Modi.
"Firstly, I wish to point out that there was no search conducted by the Income Tax department on Gitanjali Group. However, the department did conduct a survey on few of our premises and the matter was concluded immediately. Secondly, I am unaware of any tax probe pertaining to Mr Modi," said Choksi in an email.

An Act respecting the Canadian Pacific Railway
44 Victoria, c. 1 (Canada)
An Act respecting the Canadian Pacific Railway.
[Assented to 15th February, 1881.]
And whereas the Parliament of Canada has repeatedly declared a preference for the construction and operation of such Railway by means of an incorporated Company aided by grants of money and land, rather than by the Government, and certain Statutes have been passed to enable that course to be followed, but the enactments therein contained have not been effectual for that purpose;
And whereas certain sections of the said Railway have been constructed by the Government, and others are in course of construction, but the greater portion of the main line thereof has not yet been commenced or placed under contract, and it is necessary for the development of the North-West Territory and for the preservation of the good faith of the Government in the performance of its obligations, that immediate steps should be taken to complete and operate the whole of the said Railway;
And whereas, in conformity with the expressed desire of Parliament, a contract has been entered into for the construction of the said portion of the main line of the said railway, and for the permanent working of the whole line thereof, which contract with the schedule annexed has been laid before Parliament for its approval and a copy thereof is appended hereto, and it is expedient to approve and ratify the said contract, and to make provision for the carrying out of the same:
Therefore Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follows:–
This work is in the public domain worldwide because it was prepared or published by or under the direction or control of the Canadian Government or any government department prior to 1969.
Copyright Act provides a reservation for Crown rights or privileges. Lack of modern case law on the subject makes it unclear whether perpetual prerogative rights over these documents still apply, or whether these rights have lapsed. Notwithstanding, these documents are reproducible under the terms of the Reproduction of Federal Law Order.

But there's another layer of hypocrisy to the congressman's statements. As notedby The Intercept's Lee Fang, FEC filings to show that Chaffetz's donors not only pay his campaign's Verizon bills– which last year ranged between $400 and $515 each month–but also, on at least one occasion, for his Apple electronics. On July 15, 2016, Chaffetz, or someone from his office, spent a total of $775.04 in two purchases (one for $738.08 and another for $36.96) at an Apple Store in Salt Lake City using funds from the Friends of Jason Chaffetzcommittee. That would be enough to purchase a new iPhone 6S and a case.

Being made in a time when music was analog (AM/FM) and almost no one gave serious thought to sound quality, the stock audio setup is abysmal by today's standards. The factory chose 3.5" round on the dash and 4"x10" in the side pillars, neither particularly capable of anything mid-to-low range, and the size of the sides alone presenting nasty distortion.
What options exist for improving the stock setup? I'm including setups involving different sizes in the stock locations (6x9's in the sides, for example).

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd have taken their romance abroad. The new couple were spotted in Italy this weekend and seem unable to keep their hands off each other as they traveled throughout Venice on their romantic escape.
They jetted off late last week—sometime after their date at a Los Angeles arcade—and were spotted on Friday in Florence visiting Michelangelo's statue of David at Accademia Gallery Museum. They stopped at Trattoria Borgo Antico for dinner later that night.
In fact, they were captured enjoying their dinner date and even sharing a kiss in the middle of it!
"Selena was very sweet and very loving," on onlooker told E! news of their romantic date. "She would caress his face and kiss him often. He makes her laugh and she was completely focused on him. It was like no one else existed, just the two of them. They were completely immersed in one another."
Though we thought they were just "having fun," taking a very public, romantic vacation seems to say something different.
"Their romance is moving quickly, but they are OK with that," an insider exclusively tells E! News. "They are exclusively dating each other. Selena is not one to date around, and when she cares and opens up to a man, she makes sure it's the real thing."
Still, we're told, "They are just dating. Abel is taking it slow but respects Selena and wants to see where this may go. They haven't called each other boyfriend or girlfriend yet, but they are exclusively just with each other. They are both very smitten about each other."
The source added, "Abel is extremely romantic, and their time in Italy was perfect. They are enjoying getting to explore each other's worlds."
After their dinner, the couple showing PDA while taking in the Italian evening. At one point, the R&B singer wrapped his arms around his girlfriend, kissing her on the cheek as she appeared to snap a selfie on her phone.
Gomez looked chic in a red sweatshirt, which she paired with cropped jeans and heels, wearing her hair back in a bun. The Weeknd, on the other hand, opted for a more casual look in white tennis shoes and a matching white hat, which he paired with a denim coat, dark pants and accessorized with a gold chain.
After exploring Florence, the pair was spotted on Sunday enjoying Venice. Not only did they travel through the Venice canals by boat (how romantic is that?!), but they also took in the sights of a few museums.
Gomez cuddled close to her man while strolling along during their sight-seeing expedition, only letting go of him to snap pictures along the way.
She opted for a long, navy blue coat for the trip with boots and pink round glasses. Her man also donned similar shades in blue, but opted for a camouflage sweatshirt layered underneath a denim jacket and jeans for the trip.
SelGo even took a second to capture a video of her fashionable beau, posting (and later deleting) it on Instagram. Though the video only showed the "Starboy" singer for a second, she captioned it with the heart-eye emoji, proving she's totally swooning over her man.
Despite the lovey-dovey moments though, there are a few reasons Gomez and The Weeknd are taking things slow.
"Selena was focusing on getting herself back together and The Weeknd was just getting out of a relationship [with Bella Hadid], plus putting out his new album," an insider previously told E! News.
Nonetheless, they're definitely enjoying one another's company. "He really likes her. They text every day," our insider added. "They have a really sexy and flirty relationship. They laugh and like each other's personalities."

Nursing Informatics Interview Videos
As discussed in the nursing informatics interview tips post, the job interview can be the most challenging aspect of the new job search for many candidates.
I have been involved in many interviews—mostly as an interviewee, but I have also participated in more than a dozen of interviews as an interviewer. I have learned a lot from my own past mistakes in interviews, and it's been a very eye-opening experience to see how candidates respond and behave as an interviewer.
I created two videos to display how the same questions are answered by somebody who is not well prepared for an interview, and also, another video shows what we have considered to be a good candidate during an interview.
In the first video, the candidate does a decent job in answering the questions, but there isn't enough detail in the answers.
I was actually very generous when creating this video because in real life interviews, I have interviewed candidates who were not able to answer the simple question of, "tell me your understanding of this position."
I have seen how this question is used in different hospitals and shockingly, the candidates tend to know very little about the position, or they simply talk nonsense around this question.
Also, notice how the candidate says that she is applying for the job because she likes computers.
Again, a very generic answer that seems to be popular with entry level candidates.
However, this type of answer is not always popular with interviewers, unless you follow it with, "I enjoy computers and in my spare time I love fixing my colleague's computer problems. For example…."
In contrast to the first video, in this video the candidate gives detailed answers which are very relevant to the job position.
I made it a point to answer the questions with, "I don't have this experience, but it is my understanding that…" to emphasize that you don't have to have experience in the field, but if you take the time to familiarize yourself with the profession, you can give smart answers which show the interviewer that you're very interested in the field, and that you're also trainable.
Obviously, I cannot include all types of questions that come up in an interview.
However, for most entry level position jobs, interviewers are looking to see how well prepared is the candidate for the interview, how well they communicate, if they are trainable, and if they seem to have a passion for the job, among other things.
My main advice for entry level position candidates is be prepared for the interview by knowing about the field because by doing so, you show all the characteristics mentioned above. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me through the page below, and I'll be more than happy to answer it to the best of my abilities.

Thank you for your very informative post and blog!
I am a 24 year old RN with a bachelors degree with a couple years of clinical experience and time working with insurance companies as an RN. I am desperately trying to break into Nursing Informatics. I am moving to New York City soon. What advice do you have for someone who is part of the "tech savvy youth," and will be starting out in a new career path in a new city? Especially finding a way to get my foot in the door and have someone take the chance to hire and train me.

I Eat Sunlight for Breakfast
The artichoke had an abundance of flowers this spring. I love when they bloom. Such an interesting plant to grow.
My surprise plant of the year is the Bluebird Nemesia Fruticans. I planted in the garden midautumn 2011. Once these plants became established, they have been flowering ever since nonstop. The individual blossom is very dainty but there are so many blooms on the plant, they give a very nice show of purplish blue flowers. Funny plant tag states about these plants: "I eat sunlight for breakfast." For the record, I eat oatmeal or Kashi!

An Unexpected Artichoke
|Artichoke with deep purple accents
|An Artichoke of a Different Color
This year, the artichokes surprised me. When the 'chokes started growing, they were green and had deep purple accents. Then, the surprise went further when I saw I had two styles growing. The one is the round, globe style seen in the veggie displays in grocery or farmers' markets. The second style which grew never was tight or globe-like. The leaves are elongated and presented themselves in an open style right from the beginning.

The basic ideas
You can draw a boundary around a system. Stones, people and organisations are all systems. Open systems can exchange energy and information with their environments, closed systems cannot. People and organisations are open systems.
Open systems by definition are changing. When there is awareness, the system can manage this change to meet its own needs. Change management in this model is a three-step process.
How are things NOW?
How do I/we want things to be in the FUTURE?
HOW do I/ we get there?
The clearer we are about the situation NOW and the desired FUTURE state, the easier it is to act powerfully to improve the situation.
A good way of doing this is to use a mapping tool.
You can use maps to think through your own situation. Open systems mapping will also help other people. The example is of a hypothetical manager thinking about his/her own position. You can also use mapping as a problem solving tool by considering the problem to be the system. The "influences" can be people, departments, issues or anything that affects the system.
This is a NOW map with three segments completed. In meetings and workshops you may get more insights if you 1) draw the map in a circle like a spiders web 2) invite people to draw "stick people" to represent the relationships now and in the future.
You can download "spider's web" templates at the end of this page.
(Can be person, group etc.)
(Anything that influences the system or is influenced by it)
Nature of relationship
(Use a phrase, and a picture if you can, to describe this)
(Add a few words to describe how you feel about the relationship e.g. angry, frustrated, happy etc.)
A manager
Remote, uninvolved
Picture could be manager in a box separate from customers.
Friendly, supportive
Picture could be two people at one desk both smiling
IT department
Demanding but unproductive.
Picture could be one angry person and a group of people running around in circles.
This is an example of a FUTURE Map with three segments expanded
Desired feelings
(Add a few words to describe how you would like to feel about the relationship e.g. excited, content, happy etc.)
Use a phrase, and a picture if you can, to describe how the relationship would be if you felt that way
Satisfied, hopeful.
Working and learning together.
Picture could be the manager working on a project with customers.
Content, satisfied
Friendly, supportive, productive.
Picture could be two people at one desk working on a project
Professional, no nonsense, effective
People looking at a planning chart and saying "We are on track!"
Note that the outer two sections are reversed. This helps people concentrate on building the relationship they need.
How to get from here to there?
The final stage is to decide what to do and then to do it effectively. Problems often disappear when you talks directly and clearly about what you want and feel. In the "customer" example above the manager could talk to his/her customers about their present relationship and the benefits to both of more collaborative working.
The uses of open systems planning
The basic method can help with problem solving. Put the problem in the middle. Simply sharing the influences on the problem, as seen by the different members of your team, can be helpful. Encourage open sharing of the data generated and teach people to listen with understanding rather than jump to conclusions. You can use it for team building, life planning, strategic planning, project management, management development and training (For example in Leadership). An additional tool, seven-column analysis, helps people manage difficult relationships.
Please feel free to use and experiment with these ideas. I will be interested to learn how you get on and of any new uses or techniques.

DCT's Amended Complaint has eight counts. Counts I-III allege
violations of the federal antitrust laws and Counts IV-VII allege
pendent state law claims of retaliatory discharge, tortious
interference with prospective business relationships, defamation,
negligence and fraud. In Count VIII, DCT seeks to enjoin or stay
arbitration of its disputes with DNA. This is the only count
involving the AAA.
The matter is before the court on DNA's motion to stay these
proceedings pending arbitration and DCT's motion to enjoin or
stay arbitration. The motions raise two issues: whether there is
a valid arbitration agreement between DCT and DNA; and, if so,
whether the court should stay arbitration pending judicial
resolution of the anti-trust claims in Counts I-III under the
permeation doctrine.
I. Validity of the Arbitration Agreement
DCT alleges that in mid-1978 it began offering a membrane roof
system manufactured by a competitor of DNA, while continuing to
offer DNA's product. DCT further alleges that in retaliation DNA
terminated DCT as an authorized Trocal applicator. In March,
1979, the parties signed a "Termination Agreement" to wind-up
their affairs in an orderly fashion. See Exhibit IX to the
Amended Complaint.
Paragraph 19 of the Agreement states, in relevant part:
Any dispute or controversy arising out of the
construction of, performance or breach of this
agreement shall be determined by arbitration . . .
and any award rendered shall be enforceable in any
competent court of jurisdiction.
In December, 1980, DNA filed a demand for arbitration pursuant to
this paragraph, claiming that DCT, in violation of the agreement,
failed to install Trocal roofing materials in a workmanlike
manner and in compliance with DNA's standard practices and
specifications. DNA listed 250 roof projects with alleged
installation defects in a rider to its demand.
DCT filed an answer to this demand in which it contested the
scope of the disputes subject to arbitration. DCT's position is
that the Termination Agreement only applies to the 99 roofing
jobs specifically listed as Exhibit A to the agreement and that
the other 151 jobs submitted by DNA are not subject to
arbitration. DCT's answer also raised a number of affirmative
defenses to DNA's claims. It did not, however, challenge the
validity of the Termination Agreement.
In February, 1981, DCT filed its own demand for arbitration,
asserting five counterclaims "without waiver of the objections
raised in [its] Answer." In April, 1981, DCT filed its original
complaint in this action. As previously mentioned, Count VIII of
the Amended Complaint challenges the validity of the arbitration
agreement and seeks to enjoin the arbitration.
DCT argues that there is no valid arbitration agreement and
therefore that arbitration should be enjoined.*fn1 DCT points to
the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1-14, which provides
that a written arbitration provision "shall be valid,
irrevocable, and enforceable, save upon such grounds as exist
at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract,"
9 U.S.C. § 2, and contends that the common law contract defenses of
duress, unconscionability, mistake and fraud render this
agreement invalid. DCT also demands an evidentiary hearing on
these defenses pursuant to 9 U.S.C. § 4.*fn2 DNA counters that,
accepting DCT's allegations as true for purposes of this motion,
DCT has not alleged facts establishing its asserted defenses as a
matter of law, and therefore that an evidentiary hearing is not
required prior to denying the motion to enjoin arbitration.
While it is correct that the Federal Arbitration Act requires a
federal court to resolve any issue involving the making of an
arbitration agreement, the Supreme Court has made it clear that
such an agreement is separable from any contract in which it may
be contained. In Prima Paint Corp. v. Flood & Conklin
Manufacturing Co., 388 U.S. 395, 402-04, 87 S.Ct. 1801,
1805-1806, 18 L.Ed.2d 1270 (1967), the issue before the Court was
"whether a claim of fraud in the inducement of the entire
contract is to be resolved by the federal court, or whether the
matter is to be referred to the arbitrators." Id. at 402, 87
S.Ct. at 1805. The Court held:
[I]f the claim is fraud in the inducement of the
arbitration clause itself — an issue which goes to the
"making" of the agreement to arbitrate — the federal
court may proceed to adjudicate it. But the statutory
language does not permit the federal court to
consider claims of fraud in the inducement of the
contract generally.
Id. at 403-04, 87 S.Ct. at 1806-1807. Where the contractual
language of the arbitration agreement is broad enough to include
a defense to the contract, such an issue must be submitted to
With these principles in mind, the court turns to an
examination of DCT's asserted defenses.
In its complaint and in its memorandum in opposition to
defendants' motion to stay these proceedings, DCT alleged that it
was coerced into signing the Termination Agreement by DNA's
wrongful withholding of roof guarantees, which DCT needed in
order to be paid by its customers. This argument speaks to the
validity of the Termination Agreement generally and under the
reasoning in Prima Paint may not be considered by this court as
a defense to the arbitration agreement.
To circumvent this problem, in its later memorandum in support
of its motion to stay arbitration, DCT argues that the inclusion
of the arbitration clause was the result of "a separable duress,"
citing Paragraph 17 of the affidavit of DCT's counsel, Forrest
Rosser. Accepting the assertions in the affidavit as true for
purposes of this motion, DNA first brought up the subject of a
general arbitration clause late at night after several hours ...

Unlike many engineering endeavors, SQUID isn't an acronym, an alphabet soup-style amalgam of complicated scientific terms. Instead, it refers to a device designed by a team of Northeastern University senior engineering and graphic design students who have created a sensor-equipped shirt that connects with an Android app and interactive website.
The group presented its prototype to faculty and classmates in December, but the work is far from done. Mavroidis envisions having a version of SQUID on the market in two or three years.

Usually Altair camera drivers are included in the latest release of PHD guiding. However, sometimes we bring out new camera models before the next official release of PHD Guiding is ready.
To get your new Altair camera to work with PHD2.6 or above, you need to copy the altaircam.dll file from your AltairCapture installation folder into the PHD2.6 program folder.
Here's how you do it in Windows 7 (the process is pretty similar in most versions of Windows):
Step 1: Check your camera works in AltairCapture and make sure you install the latest version which are fully protected by the seooneclick.com services if it doesn't and restart.
Step 2: Locate the AltairCapture installation folder. The easiest way is to right click on the AltairCapture shortcut on your desktop, and then choose "Open file location" or you can just search for "altaircam.dll" in Windows search, and open the folder it's located in.
Step 3: Use the same method to find the PHD2.6 folder and open it. Copy the "altaircam.dll" file from the AltairCapture folder into the PHD2.6 folder.
You'll be asked to confirm. Choose "Copy and Replace". TIP: If you get any error messages remember to close both PHD and AltairCapture programs because if they're open, the .dll files may be in use and they won't copy.
Step 4: You may be asked again for administrator permission. Confirm that too.
Step 5: That's it. PHD2.6 should now work instantly with your GPCAM.

I have found this project fascinating and follow it every chance I get. I cannot get the address to the photos to work. Is it still available? I checked the spelling 2x.Quote
I really can not understand Brillo's desire to not post a clickable link. In the many years that I have followed several boards I have never seen this before. This is of course why I recently posted the link as clickable so that everyone could have easy access to the great photos posted as I thought that maybe Brillo did not know how. Although it would be possible to save the link in My Favorites, I have over 1,000 favorites saved and I doubt if I could even find it when I wanted to view the pictures. And quite truthfully, it is really just too much bother. And now it appears that PhotoBucket is not working properly. Richard
It was all about keeping it only accessible to the members here and not to surfers and lurkers. If you're a member here, you would log in and the link was accessible
Hello again, Richard-I'm not too sure what else I can say to explain this- My understanding of this site is the get new members, share bus thoughts and ideas, and make and meet new friends with the same interests.If this is the case, I think I'm doing the site a service by only allowing members to see the link. Some have mentioned the understanding of my reasoning for doing so.I know anyone can come here and read the threads, but they can't view pics up-loaded to the site without logging on (hence joining up or being a member, already).At least I thought that's how it worked.Again, that is why I put the addy' in a pic to be able to access it.I would suspect many of our "guests" are none other than members just stopping in to read and not to post anything. I know some of this to be fact, because when I post a pic and it says viewed 80 times-- but only get one or two replies, it tells me these "guests" must be members.Especially since we have over 900 members and even the hottest topic will have less than 50 replies. I'm really surprised more are not too vocal. Maybe that's the nature of "Busnuts"?In fact I do it, myself-My excuse is I know absolutely nothing about buses….even in general terms- so I read 95% more than I post.My additions are usually standards that anyone could grasp and most of my posts have been about my bus.I realize most here know about as much as I do about my coach, so I refrain from asking many questions- and if I do ask, I word it like I was buying parts: More like- "guess what this is", instead of "what is this"- I'm sorry, but I've never heard the saying "hiding your candle under a bushel basket", so I don't know what that means-From what you infer- if folks (anyone) can come here and see all the pics everyone posts—like- say, all the pics in the "Bus photos" album,Then, what I've done is most surely a waste of all others' time and mine. If I am wrong about this, please correct me and set me on the straight and narrow-I don't expect one to figure my brain patterns, or keep the thread running about this, but can anyone add to this?Thank you for your help and tips, Richard- Cheers..

Demo Fall 2012 – Day 2 – The Standouts
by Bob Fine
· I have to say that Flinja was the darling startup of the day. Both very well received by the audience as well as the venture panel that followed, Flinja provides a platform for university alumni to hire recent graduates for both contract and full-time positions. It provides a much-needed platform for the alumni networking crowd.
· Another very well received launch was from Social Bet Inc. presenting their soon to be released app: You Bet Me. Far and away the best consumer mobile app launched at Demo, You Bet Me provides a platform to allow users to make bets with each other on sports, or really whatever you like. And if someone welches on a bet, well, their entire social network will know about it. My biggest concern about the app was more ethical than anything else, as it is an app that encourages and makes gambling easier.
· Nubefy was a very impressive platform for IT administrators that want to easily manage all their web services in a cloud-based web interface. Need to startup a new database? It's as easy as point and click. Definitely worth taking a closer look at.
Demo's next event, Demo Africa, takes place in Nairobi, Kenya at the end of this month sporting startups from around the African continent. Managing Editor, Rose de Fremery, will be covering the event on-site and will be providing coverage leading up to the event, as well as during and after. Demo also announced their expansion of more events globally into China, India, Brazil and Russia.
Bob Fine is the founder and editor of The Social Media Monthly.

Penn State
Penn State team puts hope within reach for kids with upper limb deformities
Guadalupe longs to play the violin.
Like many musically inclined third graders, she is a willing student. But unlike her peers, she is — at this point — unable to play.
It's neither for a lack of talent nor motivation. Guadalupe, you see, was born without her left hand.
But thanks to a group of Penn State students, her dream may soon be within reach.
"This girl has wanted to play the violin since she was little," said Kristen Einthoven, the president of Digi Digits. "The main focus with this design is that they can be reprinted when they grow out of one, and it's maybe a $10 or $20 fix versus a $100 or $1,000 fix."
Digi Digits, which formed last year, designs 3-D-printed prosthetic-like training devices for children born with upper limb deformities, which affect 1 in every 2,500 babies born in the United States each year. According to the CDC, those affected may have difficulty with developing normal motor skills, growing socially due to their appearance and participating in activities like sports or, in Guadalupe's case, music.
And prosthetics aren't cheap. Most are regularly $5,000 or more. The most expensive can get up to $100,000.
Holding onto hope, then, becomes a Sisyphean task.
"When you have a kid who is growing constantly, then they have to be refitted as well," Einthoven said. "It's not economically feasible for a lot of people.
"So people all over the world have been finding solutions with 3-D printing."
Enter Digi Digits. The team works with e-NABLE, an open-source network dedicated to creating 3-D-printed hands and arms for children in need, and through them were connected with families like Guadalupe's.
On Monday at the Happy Valley LaunchBox, Einthoven and her team demonstrated their creations as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week at Penn State, which is organized by the Penn State Small Business Development Center. The workshop drew interested peers besides a few students who were Guadalupe's age.
Gathered around the table of colorful parts and doodads, Liliana Rose, 7, slipped on one of the prototypes and tested its strength. She listened as Einthoven explained how the 3-D-printed hand could help kids who were different, but who were also in many ways just like her.
"The thing that is really fun about it is you can give a kid something they're proud of," Einthoven said. "I saw someone on e-NABLE designed a 'Despicable Me'-themed hand, and this kid loved it because he loved 'Despicable Me' and all his classmates loved it."
The group, for instance, is also working with Colin, a boy who wants a color-changing hand that also glows in the dark. They've been working with him for more than a year. After New Year's, they hope, they'll have a new hand for him.
"We would love to have something for him over Christmas break," Einthoven said, smiling.
Ryan Lo, a junior architecture major on the team, showed Liliana's twin brothers Isaac and Alexander how the hands worked. Made up of about 15 different parts, the hands only cost about $50 to make.
"I think they're kind of similar to Legos," said Isaac, an avid Lego enthusiast. "Like you could build a Lego hand similar to this, but you couldn't make it move in the same way."
By comparison, two Lego Classic Creative Building Sets cost about $60.
"I thought it was just cool to create something but also for a cause," Lo said.
Carolina Carlton, the family relations correspondent for the Digi Digits team, joined the team as a freshman. The biomedical engineering major said she originally joined for the research aspects, but that changed as she began to work with the families of the end users: the kids who will benefit from the team's creations.
"It sounds like really simple to just design a hand and give it to somebody," she said. "But just hearing what Colin needs, getting information for designs — it just opened my eyes."
Less than a month ago, the team was contacted by Guadalupe's music teacher. Since then, they've set to work, trying to gather measurements and navigate every crevice and curvature of a forthcoming mold. Using design software, they'll draw up a model and set to work on tweaking and tuning it to her specifications. Though there are thousands more like her, Guadalupe is unique. Her hand is, and will be, one-of-a-kind.
With it, she'll be able to hold the violin's bow.
Einthoven, who is interning for Silicon Valley 3-D-printing startup Carbon during the summer, said her own background drove her to study mechanical engineering and the field of prosthetics. A runner, she's used to the freedom of movement. She said she wants to give that feeling to others.
"I want to continue this line of work," she said. "This is something I'm really excited about."

on an invitation basis
Calming and healing chamomile, Matricaria recutita, is not just for people. In the garden, chamomile helps improve the health of plants surrounding it. I love this quote from all the way back to 1914, and would assume a chamomile flower essence could achieve the same result.
"It is remarkable that each chamomile is a plant physician, since nothing contributes so much to the health of a garden as a number of chamomile herbs dispersed about it. Singularly enough, if another plant is drooping and apparently dying, in nine cases out of ten it will recover if you place a herb of chamomile near it." --W.T. Fernie. From The Earthwise Herbal: A Complete Guide to Old World Medicinal Plants by Matthew Wood.
A lunaria heartleaf makes a sweet little seed-holder with a deep center. I'm inviting more chamomile by sprinkling its seed around the garden whenever I think of it.
Also a healing and useful plant is Belladonna, Atropa belladonna, but unfortunately its foliage and berries are poisonous. Belladonna or deadly nightshade is used in homeopathic form and quite a few pharmaceuticals. Uninvited, it appears here every few years only to be pulled out (wearing gloves) upon discovery. Too bad -- it's such a beautiful plant-- but Talula, our younger pup, still eats anything and everything.

If you've been waiting for your precious iPhone 4S to receive a jailbreak, you'll need to keep waiting just a bit longer.
Affiliate and member of the Chronic Dev Team, pod2g and DHowitt, have posted a video showing the successful jailbreak of iOS 5.0.1 on the newest iPhone 4S hardware. While owners of previous generation devices such as the iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone 4 and 3GS have had a jailbreak for 5.0.1 for a few weeks now, the newer A5 chip proved to be a bit more difficult.
The video shows off an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1, complete with Siri, powered on and off after having been jailbroken. With full access to Cydia and an untethered restart, it's a fully functional and end-user ready jailbreak. Hopefully the exploit can be packaged into the currently available tools and released once it's been fully tested.
Be sure to watch the official page for a release by the Chronic Dev Team. It's also highly likely that the iPhone-dev team will also have their tools updated with the new exploit for eager jailbreakers soon.
