Global Institute of Stem Cell therapy and Research (GIOSTAR) is the world's leading stem cell research institution based in San Diego, California and has been involved in stem cell research for over 18 years. The Chairman and Cofounder of GIOSTAR, Dr. Anand Srivastava has been associated with leading universities and research institutes of USA. In affiliation with the University of California San Diego (UCSD), the University of California Irvine (UCI), Salk Research Institute, San Diego,Burnham Institute For Medical Research, San Diego, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), USA, has helped develop several research programs and having an extensive research experience in the field of Stem cell, which is documented by several publications in revered scientific journals.
The GIOSTAR Chairman, Dr. Anand Srivastava's success has its root in his unique background of expertise in Stem cell biology, protein biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, in utero transplantation of stem cell, tissuetargeting, gene therapy and clinical research. There are many scientists who can work in a narrowly defined field but few have broad and multidisciplinary experience to carry out clinical research in a field as challenging as Stem cell biology, cancer and gene therapy field. Dr. Anand Srivastava's wide-spectrum expertise is rare in clinical research and perfectly crafted to fit ideally with the GIOSTAR projects for Stem cell transplant, cancer and gene therapy.
Yesterday, I happened to be at the UCSD-centric offices of Giostar founders, Dr. Aran Srivastava and Deven Patel re-acquainting ourselves about the possibilities of collaborating on three sweeping projects in the Stem Cell Arena. By chance, Melinda Flanagan, UCSD's International Internship Director had a cancellation of her speaker an hour into my Giostar meeting and sent a note wondering if I could fill-in.
Strongly believing in the adage that "Luck is when Preparadness Meets Opportunity, " I chanced on the willingness (and fortuidous) timing to ask the Biostar Founders to join me for "Show and Tell" at the International Intern Cohort session nearby. They graciously accepted and this is what occured….
Biostar Co-Founder Deven Patel
Flanagan, Melinda
Hi Peter and Deven,
What a joy to meet you both, along with Dr. Srivastava today! Thank you, Peter, for inviting Deven and Dr. Srivastava to join us today. We were honored to have you all and we thank you for your fascinating presentations. I was thrilled to learn about Giostar's ambitious efforts in the field stem cell research. I find the application of stem cells technologies the most exciting therapy on the horizon. After spending my lifetime trying to find a treatment for my father's MS to no avail at the time, this is VERY encouraging.
Mindy Flanagan
Program Manager | Business Programs for International Students
UC San Diego Extension | ip.extension.ucsd.edu | 858–534–5143
By combining my efforts on behalf of Giostar's "game-changing" Stem Cell Projects with the able assistance from UCSD's brilliant International Interns (Masters and Doctorates all), I am pretty confident that we are going to be announcing some good old fashioned "Capitalism Meets Life-Changing Science" here pretty soon!

text: It is so nice to hear a story like this where strangers actually step up and help, rather then turn and run the other way as if they themselves are actually the ones on fire. I think we've all gotten used to hearing stories of cars driving around injured people without stopping to help, and as a woman I've certainly heard it's better to yell "fire" rather than "rape" because people are too selfish/scared to help a rape victim. This story actually made me tear up a little because 1. It has a happy ending and 2. These people risked themselves to help and they didn't have to.

We investigated longitudinal viral clustering among and within subjects in a highly networked cohort of people who inject drugs (PWID). All subjects had estimated dates of infection and two or more E1 sequences (bp 943-1288 relative to H77) with 1 to 14years of follow up. Two methods (HIV-TRACE and PhyloPart) were used to determine clusters. Genetic distance thresholds were determined by comparing intra-and inter-host distances. Additional phylogenetic analysis was performed on subjects with complicated viral histories. At the optimal threshold of 3.9%, HIV-TRACE found 77 clusters and PhyloPart found 63 clusters, of which 27 and 32 contained multiple subjects, respectively. Furthermore, 1/3 of the subjects had sequences in different clusters over the course of the study, including some cases in which a later-sampled sequence matched a cluster detected much earlier in the infection, despite being separated by RNA-negative lab visit and detection of sequences in different clusters. A detailed phylogenetic analysis of four subjects with such patterns showed that in all four cases, the earlier and later variants grouped closely on the tree, and did not group with concurrent sequences from any other subject. These observations suggest that subjects are either experiencing rapid and recurring infection-clearance-reinfection cycles from the same source, or a single transmission event produces a chronic infection that may go undetected and/or co-circulate with different viruses from separate transmission events. Furthermore, our results show the utility of using longitudinal sampling to obtain a more comprehensive view of the viral linkages in high-risk populations.

The O-Face: Dig deep for meaning this holiday
Michael Karp
February 11, 2014
Hate it or love it, Valentine's Day is almost upon us. If you are single, odds are you either dread Feb. 14 or are indifferent. If you are in a relationship, you're probably either excited or stressing about planning for it. In 21 years, I have never had a Valentine. I was always largely indifferent to the holiday, but deep down I would not have minded having someone to spend it with...

"Sugar. Butter. Flour." The words are crooned like a lullaby intermittently throughout the musical "Waitress," bringing a warm blanket of comfort to the troubled central character, stuck in an unhappy marriage and essentially working two jobs, baking pies for the diner where she also puts on an apron to wait tables.
In Jessie Mueller, who plays Jenna, that hard-working waitress, this agreeable if unexceptional musical, which opened on Sunday at the Brooks Atkinson Theater, has the kind of vital ingredient any show would benefit from. Ms. Mueller, who won a Tony for her performance in "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical," possesses a rich, soulful and emotionally translucent voice, and an ability to bring heaping cupfuls of subtext to her acting.
But as with the unremarkable jukebox musical that brought her Broadway stardom, Ms. Mueller's talent often outstrips the material she's given here. So, incidentally, do the gifts of her supporting cast, who provide brightly colored, vibrantly sung performances.
Much of the score, by the pop singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles, is appealing, drawing on the sounds of country music reflecting the Southern setting, but also containing more traditional Broadway-pop balladry. But the book by Jessie Nelson, based on the movie written and directed by (and co-starring) Adrienne Shelly, tends to flatten most of the characters into comic cartoons. (To be fair, they do not have much more depth in the movie, from which some of the musical's dialogue is borrowed.)
Only Jenna seems fully drawn from life, and the emotional arc of her character conforms to familiar stories about oppressed women finding their inner strength. This, of course, is a journey that many women have indeed traveled, and has a built-in (or should I say baked-in?) emotional appeal. Still, "Waitress," directed by Diane Paulus, taps into its wellsprings of universal feeling with a slick surface professionalism rather than anything approaching real depth.
The story starts with Jenna facing a life crisis. She discovers she's pregnant, and doesn't greet the news with the traditional excitement. This is primarily because her husband, Earl (Nick Cordero, doing what he can with a one-note villain), is a brutish lout who snatches Jenna's tips as soon as she gets off work, glowering at her if he feels she hasn't brought home enough. For a while Jenna keeps news of her pregnancy from Earl, hoping she can find some way to wriggle out of her marriage and forge a new life for herself and her child.
And in the handsome gynecologist she meets when she eventually must acknowledge that, like it or not, a baby is in her future, Jenna finds a man who is everything Earl is not. As played with endearingly goofy charm by Drew Gehling, Dr. Pomatter is amiable, funny, accomplished and, most of all, understanding. Soon they are, yes, singing a duet, "It Only Takes a Taste," which prefigures the unlikely affair they impulsively begin.
Ambivalent about this new relationship — and Ms. Mueller does ambivalent beautifully — Jenna draws support from her fellow waitresses in the diner: the gawky, geeky Dawn (Kimiko Glenn) and the brassy, sassy Becky (Keala Settle), two stock characters given some welcome glints of distinctiveness by Ms. Glenn and Ms. Settle. As in musical comedies dating at least to the 1940s, Dawn and Becky embark upon romances that provide comic diversion from the more weighty travails of Jenna.
Encouraged by her co-workers to dip her toe at least into the shallow end of the dating pool, Dawn immediately meets Ogie (Christopher Fitzgerald), who's instantly smitten. So smitten that he shows up at the diner the morning after their five-minute date and proceeds to vow eternal devotion in an ebullient knee-slapping country number, "Never Ever Getting Rid of Me," that Mr. Fitzgerald quite simply knocks out of the ballpark. (Lucky Mr. Fitzgerald; but it's a little unfortunate that this comparatively minor character gets the splashiest and most memorable song in the first act.)
Becky's marriage is not wholly fulfilling, partly because her significantly older husband is seriously ill. No prizes for guessing where the tart exchanges of insults between Becky and the diner's manager, Cal (an amusingly gruff Eric Anderson), will eventually lead.
Speaking of prizes, the other significant subplot in "Waitress" involves Jenna's secret (from Earl) plan to enter a local baking contest that would, rather implausibly, bring her a $20,000 windfall should she win. Giving her particular encouragement in this is the diner's owner, Joe, a half-avuncular, half-curmudgeonly (and more than half-clichéd) elder man played with easygoing grace by Dakin Matthews.
Ms. Bareilles shows an unexpected flair for comic songs, with that joyous hootenanny for Mr. Fitzgerald; a nervous solo about dating jitters for Ms. Glenn; and a rollicking duet for Jenna and the doctor wittily establishing that they both know that getting together is a "pretty good bad idea." (Less successful: the awkward "I Love You Like a Table." Huh?) Ms. Mueller also has a lovely, reflective ballad in the first act that establishes, or rather underscores, the solace Jenna finds in making pies, which allows her to escape the awkward chemistry of her life into the satisfying alchemy of baking.
But it is when Ms. Mueller tears into the musical's climactic number, "She Used to Be Mine," that her talents are most fully and movingly harnessed. In this emotionally intricate song, Jenna looks at herself from the outside, analyzing the conflicts and complexities within her: "She is messy but she's kind/She is lonely most of the time." In acknowledging the mistakes she's made and the regret she's allowed to puncture her self-esteem, Jenna finds a voice for the nascent, regenerating woman within her.
Ms. Mueller's vibrant performance of this gentle but wrenching song, featuring a melody that soars and then recedes in waves, is the high point of the show — and for that matter a high point of the Broadway season. Suddenly, a pleasant and polished but weightless musical comedy rises to transporting heights, and sweeps up your heart along with it.

On April 12, 2018, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the New York State 2019 Budget bill, which contains, among other things, provisions regarding sexual harassment claims and policies in the workplace.
- Under the New York State Human Rights Law, liability will be imposed on employers for permitting sexual harassment against non-employees, including contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and others providing services pursuant to a contract in the workplace.
- It will be prohibited to use non-disclosure agreements in connection with the resolution of sexual harassment claims unless the claimant prefers confidentiality.
- It will also be prohibited to have mandatory arbitration clauses requiring arbitration of sexual harassment claims in written contracts.
- Employers will be required to distribute written anti-harassment policies in the work place and provide anti-harassment training for all employees.
- The written policies and training will be based on models developed by the New York State Division of Human Rights and Department of Labor.
- Bids on certain state contracts will have to contain language showing that the bidder has provided employees with written policies addressing sexual harassment at work and annual sexual harassment training.
We believe that with the recent input from the business community, New York State will be receptive to mitigating circumstances if a business has a reasonable explanation as to its non-compliance.
On August 10, 2018, The New York City Commission on Human Rights published an English-Language workplace poster that must be displayed by all New York City employers beginning on September 6, 2018. The poster is requirement is mandatory; all employers in New York City must comply by the September deadline. The new legislation also requires that this poster be displayed in Spanish, which can be found here.

The snowmobile is a great way to travel when you need to get around swiftly. Hop on a rented snowmobile and experience the way the locals head out to check their grouse traps or tend to their reindeer.
Please keep in mind that snowmobiling is not an everyman's right. Leisure snowmobiling is only allowed on marked snowmobile routes and tracks, as well as on ice-covered waterways. In addition, there are more specific rules applying to protected areas.
You can head out along marked snowmobile tracks on your own or with a local safari service. Some of the tracks require you to purchase a permit, and some are free of charge. Please remember that it is not allowed to turn off the track without the landowner's permission!
The snowmobile tracks starting from the Hetta village are maintained by the municipality of Enontekiö. You do not need a permit to ride on them. The Victoria route, which runs along the border of Finland and Sweden from Muonio to Kilpisjärvi, is also free of charge.
For the snowmobile track leading from Palojärvi to Kilpisjärvi in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area in Enontekiö, as well as for the Syväjärvi–Karesuvanto and Raittijärvi–Saarikoski tracks branching off the main track, you need to purchase a national off-road traffic permit from Metsähallitus (www.eraluvat.fi).
In the Kilpisjärvi village area, snowmobile tracks are maintained by the Kilpisjärven ladut ry association, and a track maintenance fee must be paid at www.kilpisjarvenladut.fi.

PharmASSIST Symphony for High Volume serves as the adaptive brain of your high-volume pharmacy, constantly adjusting to the alterations in workflow caused by changes in your prescription demand. Leveraging its rich sources of data, PharmASSIST Symphony for High Volume continually optimizes your entire prescription production process and maintains high levels of throughput.
PharmASSIST Symphony for High Volume
Innovation High Volume Solutions – The Life of a Prescription in a High Volume Pharmacy
PharmASSIST High Volumes Solutions – An Overview
The Brains of Your Central Fill/Mail Order Operation
Intelligent Demand Management
Setting the tempo for your central fill or mail order pharmacy's performance depends on dynamic prioritization and workload balancing. Symphony does this right from the start by managing all incoming demand in real-time, and prioritizing orders to guarantee they are processed on time. The system balances and rebalances the entire workload throughout your site for each operational shift. This ensures a smooth running flow of work in any given area of your fulfillment. Symphony also manages the size of orders and sets fill by date/times based on delivery date/times and the in-process work.
Dashboards & Transparency
Symphony tracks virtually every event in the system (operator, application, and equipment-related), and provides customer-specific dashboards that display real-time status throughout your environment. Symphony also manages all interfaces with 3rd party platforms (e.g., pharmacy management, e-commerce, inventory management, specialty care, queuing, shipping, etc.) enabling smooth data flow. In summary, you'll have full transparency into your site's daily activity, helping you tightly manage and optimize the performance of your high-volume system and staff.
Efficiency & Throughput
Automation & Conveying
As the hub of your high-volume operation, Symphony seamlessly integrates with and orchestrates all pharmacy automation and conveying technology. You can incorporate a wide range of robotic dispensing, counting technologies, unit-of-use devices, compliance packaging, and collation systems to address your prescription volume and throughput requirements.
Symphony also works in tandem with intelligent, rules-based conveying, enabling efficient and orderly transport and traffic management to your automation, Symphony workstations, packaging, and shipping. RFID tags communicate with Symphony to facilitate real-time Rx tracking for all prescriptions.
Filling & Verification
Symphony intelligently drives throughput with whatever combination of pharmacy automation, unit-of-use devices, compliance packaging, and manual filling workstations comprise your high-volume site. The system manages order priorities and workloads to all filling areas.
For manual filling (for specialty, OTC, unit-of-use, etc.), Symphony guides your staff through all necessary steps, whether it's identifying stock locations for medication retrieval, or using other technologies to augment filling. Depending on your workflow, Symphony also directs batch filling (i.e., the filling of many Rxs for the same medication), which significantly increases your output rate by reducing the individual cycle time of each order.
For verification, Symphony provides both PV1 and PV2 options with full digital verification using both medication imagery and images of filled vial/bottle contents. With the remote PV2 option, you can centralize much or all of your verification and greatly reduce pharmacists on site.
Collation, Packaging, & Shipping
Symphony handles all prescription collation, sortation, patient paperwork, packaging, shipping, and courier/delivery management. The system seamlessly integrates with our PharmASSIST RxCollect robotic collation and PharmASSIST Light-Way storage and retrieval technologies to streamline collation and ready orders for packaging.
For sortation, paperwork generation, and packaging, Symphony applies rules-based processing with various 3rd party automated and semi-automated devices.
For shipping, Symphony integrates with shipping systems, managing individual delivery schedules and back calculating priorities in real-time based on various key criteria (e.g., patient's promised time, delivery schedule to the destination, etc.). This ensures that all Rxs, received either prior to the start of the shift or during shift operation, all make it to their destination prior to the patient's promised date/time.
Continual Optimization
Symphony is designed from the ground up with robust data mining capabilities, and continuously collects all processing data and delivers actionable information for key management reporting and Pharmacy Intelligence initiatives. Your data enables you to continually analyze overall system, individual processes, and all operator performance so you can gain valuable insight and take immediate action to optimize your high-volume site's performance.

Daily Log
14 July 2015
The day began with clipping roots in preparation for picking all of Locus 3 . The soil is still a dark brown humus layer dense with organic material. A pick pass was executed in the eastern half of the locus. Small concentrations of charcoal are being recovered in that area in addition to terra cotta and pottery.
A pick pass was executed in the third meter of the locus for the first time. It is especially dense with roots close to the surface.
A pick pass was then executed on the fourth meter of the locus. Roots were clipped to make shoveling easier.
As the locus is now level a pick pass was executed across the entire locus moving east to west. During clearing of the third meter a cavetto fragment was recovered.
Find #1: Cavetto fragment
Elevation: 27.00 mAE
Coordinates: 103.50E/43.38S
Picking continued east to west again in one meter increments. The pick pass was completed and dirt cleared until lunch.
The afternoon began with clipping roots. Another pick pass was executed with a
pick axe on the eastern side of the trench. The baulk walls were leveled at the north, east and south sides of the trench. A medium amount of terra cotta was found. A small concentration of charcoal was also found.
The soil continues to be a dark brown humus layer. It is filled with organic matter. The baulk walls and soil at the eastern side are being leveled with the help of hand picks.
Another pick pass was executed in the trench in an east to west motion. The dirt was picked up with shovels and sorted into the wheelbarrow. The soil continues to be a dark brown humus layer.
Another pick pass was executed with a pick axe in the first and third meter of the trench. Dirt was picked up with shovels and put into buckets. It was later sorted into the wheelbarrow. Leftover dirt was picked
up by hand and roots were clipped. Closing elevations were taken.

Athens Biennale 2020: ECLIPSE
Does life imitate art? Or art imitate life? The 7th Athens Biennale – ECLIPSE – was hatched pre-Covid-19 as a bid to grasp the fleeting and ominous signs of an imminent era of agony. What was being devised as a metaphor; an omen, has now come to pass. The role of art, now more than ever, is to stay relevant and speak to our need for analysis and release. To pose alternative answers to our existential and socio-political dilemmas. Amid our stark reality, the international artists of the 7th Athens Biennale are currently collaborating to transmute this new world into artistic expression. The goal is to stage ECLIPSE according to schedule (over ten weeks from late September), in tune with the developments of the pandemic. The Athens Biennale has always had a reputation for shaking up notions of what contemporary art is and how (and where) it should be exhibited. This year, whether it unfolds on-line or on the ground here in Athens, it's primed to be far more than an exhibition. The 2020 edition will be a snapshot of life in the shadows.

Hi beautiful! I recently attended the QVC 2013 beauty bash and although I was too much in a rush to take pictures to share with you all, I did discover a new fascination/obsession/lust/can't-live'without product that I am in absolute love with. I've never had my nails done at a salon, I've had it done at events but the world of acrylic/gel nails was on I hadn't tapped in to and to be honest I was rather afraid to venture in to. I just thought they would be harmful to my strong healthy nails and I was more than competent enough to paint my own nails perfectly fine. Well today's product completely solves that problem for me and let's me discover gorgeous long lasting shiny nails from home.
I introduce you to my gorgeous red nails and the Red Carpet Manicure brand. Red Carpet Manicure, it is basically a at home gel manicure set and makes the process of getting gel nails of extremely good quality really easy.
The Red Carpet Manicure works really simply, literally 2 base coats, colour and top coat and after letting the UV light cure after each coat in 45 seconds you are left with dry, shiny nails that don't chip and last for weeks. I promise you it really does last as I myself was rather sceptical especially being a newcomer. I had these red nails done on the 23rd of January. I have took these pictures late evening on the 6th of February they were looking pretty impressive. I can't wait to paint my toes with this gel system, I hate repainting them after they chip and this looks like it will solve my problems for a long while.
I was lucky enough to have my nails painted by the beautiful Katy Rose, however I was able to paint my thumbnail myself just to get an idea how easy it is to apply. And I can report back and let you all know it is super super easy, just the same as painting normal nails. Really makes the idea of spending £30+ on getting it done in salons rather ridiculous. The nails last for absolute ages, the glossiness and shine last forever and as long as you let the UV cure the polish properly it remains chip free!
(You can see I didn't let my little pinkie finger cure properly under the light – my fault!)
Now where can you get hold of this kit and polishes I hear you ask. Well, a really easy place actually that has lots of reviews on it so you can see what other people are saying about the brand and their thoughts on the home system. QVC! I love QVC as you guys are probably realising especially because I can read lots of reviews, and of course return if I don't like what I receive Red Carpet Manicure have some amazing 5 star reviews on QVC already and currently they have this amazing set (amazing value) for sale :
This kit is retailing for £90.75 HERE and contains all this:
1 x professional LED lamp – features timer function, cool light technology, long-lasting bulbs and an AC power cord adapter
2 x Purify Pre and Post Application Cleanser (59ml)
1 x Prep Max Adhesion (9ml)
1 x Structure Base Coat Gel (9ml)
1 x Brilliance Seal and Shine Top Coat Gel (9ml)
1 x Revitalise Nourishing Cuticle Oil (9ml)
2 x Erase Gel Nail Polish Remover (59ml)
2 x removal kits – contains 20 foil sheets and foam removal pads
3 x Red Carpet LED Gel Nail Polish (9ml)
1 x accessories kit – cuticle and buffing stick, three strips of adhesive buffing tabs (30 intotal), emery board and 10 orangewood sticks
1 x instructional DVD
1 x instructions leaflet
You also receive a choice of 3 polishes, a French manicure set or a pretty purple pink set, I personally would go for the French manicure set because I hate how quickly I manage to ruin French manicures especially as they take much more effort than painting normal nails. The price also is so appealing because if you paid that much at a salon you'll probably only get gel nails applied 3 times whereas here you can get it applied over and over and over again. You get the idea.
I hope you enjoyed this post, it's quite nice how the blogging world has helped me discover new brands and I hope I'm helping you to as well. I definitely will be purchasing this little kit because I love all things pampering and I think this will be amazing for when girls come over to my house, we can have a little salon up and running from my bedroom! I've got every thing else covered, just needed nails and I've got that option too now. I will definitely be doing a post on Seche Vite for you too, I've had a few requests on that already from you all and I'll try find more information on that. Until next time, take care and if you want to see more of Red Carpet Manicure, take a look here

With spring here the condition of ice on rivers and lakes across Manitoba is now dangerous.
The province has issued an advisory warning the public of potentially hazardous ice conditions.
While the ice may appear normal, it may be very thin and no longer support people and heavy objects such as snowmobiles and vehicles.
The quality of river ice within communities is also uncertain, so people are advised to stay off rivers and retention ponds.
Manitoba Sustainable Development advises ice fishing shelters must be removed by March 31 in the rest of the southern division and by April 15 in the northwest, north central and northeast divisions, or when requested to do so by a conservation officer due to unsafe ice conditions.

Doesn't anyone have respect for great art anymore?
This is "Jell-o Head," a fine work by Andrew Salomone that depicts Bill "Fatherhood" Cosby in Cos's old favorite, Jell-O. The talented Mr. Salamone presented this magnificent work at a place called Buoy Gallery, which is (I hope) several miles out to sea. He and "Jell-o Head" won well-deserved accolades from the Buoy Gallery audience, who we can only assume are pirates and starfish and so forth.
Fun evening, right? Apparently this wasn't enough for the assembled crustaceans or whoever, because they decided it would be more fun to take this well-thought-out Cosby portrait and start rearranging it. They gave Bill a mustache, and drug paraphernalia, and changed and moved and turned and twisted until Bill Cosby was no longer Bill Cosby but…
I love Pac-Man as much as anyone – I have an embroidered Pac-Man pattern on my living room mantle (seriously, I do) – but Bill Cosby is not Pac-Man, no matter what art-loving lobsters try to tell you. Bill Cosby does not morph into Pac-Man at night, and Bill Cosby has nothing to do with ghosts (Ghost Dad notwithstanding). Art should not be tarnished because a bluegill and a walleye think Phylicia Rashad hangs out with video game characters.
Here is a handy chart I made to distinguish Bill Cosby and Pac-Man. If you are a seafaring species in any sense of the word, please carry a copy with you at all times:
|Endorsed Jell-O products
|Endorsed eating energy pills that turned ghost monsters blue
|Starred in "Fat Albert," "I Spy," "The Cosby Show" and that other show that was like "The Cosby Show" but wasn't "The Cosby Show"
|Starred in "Pac-Man: The Animated Series"
|Recorded a cover of "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band"
|Recorded freakish versions of popular Christmas carols
This should clear up any lingering confusion, so that next time you're out at an Andrew Salamone exhibition, you can enjoy the art instead of turning it into an odd dessert shape-shifting exercise.

How Buhari may sway leadership of 9th National Assembly
The popular saying that 24 hours is a long time in politics, long enough to change or sway political narratives in whatever direction based on intrigues may likely play out in the current politicking ahead of the election of principal officers of the incoming 9th National Assembly scheduled for June.
In spite of the fact that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) controls the majority in the coming 9th National Assembly, the possibility of what happened in 2015 when the leadership of the legislature emerged contrary to the wishes of the party looms large. But APC is doing everything in its power to prevent similar event come June 4. In 2015, the incumbent Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and the Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara emerged against APC's preference for Senator Ahmed Lawan and Femi Gbajabiamila.
Although Saraki is no longer returning to the red chamber while Dogara has been reelected, the duo, which are now members of major opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), are allegedly scheming to play a spoiler role for APC bearing the fact that they still have incumbency control in the National Assembly. The ruling party is not taking the development with levity like it did in 2015 and suffered the ultimate consequences.
While it appears that APC is gradually having a firm handle in the emergence of Lawan as senate president, the coast is not yet clear for Gbajabiamila. The Guardian learnt this would form part the major discussions President Muhammadu Buhari may likely have with APC House of Representatives lawmakers-elect at the Presidential Villa today.
To clarify the ambiguities in Gbajabiamila's speakership ambition, The Guardian learnt that President Buhari personally summoned the majority leader to the Villa on Sunday when he (Buhari) returned from Chad for discussions ahead of today's meeting with the lawmakers. The details of their meeting were not disclosed, but it, however, had to do with the politics surrounding the election of the speaker of the House.
The majority leader was said to be on his way for an empowerment programme designed to empower 210 members of his constituency in Lagos on Sunday, but he had to jettison the programme and detailed Mr. Desmond Elliot, the lawmaker representing Surulere I Constituency in the Lagos State House of Assembly to stand in for him because of the summon to see Mr. President in Abuja.Prior to now, some lawmakers of APC from North Central have been clamouring for the speakership hinging it on the fact that Southwest cannot produce the vice president and have as many representatives in the Federal Executive Council and still has the speaker while their zone is left with nothing. But from a grapevine, President Buhari may not be in tune with such narrative hence his decision to meet with the lawmakers-elect today.
Other dynamics that may have changed in the last few days is the positions of APC governors to support Lawan and Gbajabiamila for senate president and speakership respectively. Making the confirmation yesterday, Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima disclosed that former governors in the yet-to-be inaugurated 9th National Assembly have endorsed Senate Leader Ahmed Lawan and House of Representatives Leader for Senate President and House Speaker respectively. Shettima made the confirmation while fielding questions from reporters in N'Djamena, Chad, at the weekend.
Besides, the governor informed that the three senators-elect and House of Representatives members-elect from Borno State have endorsed Lawan and Gbajabiamila for the exalted offices. He, therefore, dismissed the insinuation in some quarters that former governors in the National Assembly were against the election of Lawan and Gbajabiamila as leaders of the two chambers of the national assembly.
What initially created ambiguities for the speakership position was a technical error by the party when it came out to state clearly its support for Lawan but remained silent about its disposition on Gbajabiamila. This sent a wrong signal, which political pundits as well as other ambitious zones eyeing the post interpreted to be Buhari's lackadaisical attitude to Ggbajabiamila's speakership ambition. But no sooner had the president returned form the Chad conference than the narrative changed.
There is a strong indication that APC might zone the speakership to Southwest after today's meeting with the lawmakers, but it is not going to be an individual like it did when it specifically narrowed it down to the senate leader, which infuriated Senator Ali Ndume and Danjuma Goje who are from the same North East zone with Lawan. The post of deputy speaker may go to North Central while the remaining four principal House offices would be shared among other four geo-political zones.
An inside source in APC, however, told The Guardian that the leadership of the party would not deliberate on the sharing formula of the remaining four principal offices, which are the House Leader, Deputy House Leader, House Whip and Deputy House Whip until after June 4. PDP's troubled house
ONE of the teething challenges the ruling party and even Gbajabiamila were expected to have was PDP lawmakers' strong alliance with some dissident APC lawmakers to launch a surprise. This was a serious narrative just after the February 23 National Assembly election until last week when a serious crack was noticed in the opposition party's camp.
Instead of PDP to capitalize on APC's crisis, there is infighting in the party over who takes over from Hon. Leo Ogor, the incumbent Minority Leader, who is allegedly ill but gradually recovering. Those who are contending for the position are incumbent Deputy Minority Leader, Chukwuka Wilfred Onyeama, Ndudi Elumelu, Nicholas Ossai and others. The situation is causing ripples in the ranks of PDP lawmakers. The ruling party is also not taking for granted the alleged scheming by Dogara, who has been accused of sponsoring some APC lawmakers to contest the speakership position with the aim of using the strategy to distabilise the party to his personal benefit. All things being equal, the dynamics that trailed the politics of the incoming 9th National Assembly election just after the general election on February 23 appear to have changed. What shape it would take in the next few days ahead of the exercise remains a conjecture.

In order to achieve such an incredible time, he had to not only utilize radar detectors, laser jammers, and other expensive equipment no normal human being owns, but most importantly, he had to practice safe driving. We normal people get up in the morning, slam a cup of coffee, and jump in the car to head to work. Most of the time we don't even give our cars two minutes to warm up. The little things are most important when taking a road trip that lasts a couple hours or longer. You should check your tire pressure and tread, make sure you have sufficient fuel, and even check your headlights to ensure you wont get pulled over for one being out. Practicing safe driving will not only keep you safe from other drivers on the road, but from police officers looking to meet their quota as well. This guy pretty much nails it on the head when it comes to driving safely. Skip through to about two minutes for all the important stuff.

ExperiCorps gifts first-ever donation to The Ronald McDonald House of Rochester
ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – Tuesday morning The Ronald McDonald House of Rochester received the first-ever donation from the newly formed organization: ExperiCorps.
Rather than donating money or items, ExperiCorps partners with people (typically retirees) to channel their experience, networks, and knowledge towards business opportunities.
Those opportunities generate revenue streams for select charity organizations.
"We work for Preventice (Preventice Technologies). They give us a check and then we donate that to the Ronald McDonald House." Said ExperiCorps board member Darryl Soile.
"Many retirees are good at problem solving and we all want to give back and we thought that this was a great way to leverage all of the training and skills we have developed over our careers."
Soile says benefiting non-profits are chosen by the donors who are involved in the work along with board members of ExperiCorps.
"We think this is expandable to many many places, many many retirees, many many projects, many many nonprofits," said Soile.
ExperiCorps works on a project-by-project basis.
Retirees can join ExperiCorps efforts by contacting Bob Ahmann at email@example.com for the time being until ExperiCorps website/email is functioning.

Carmelo Anthony has lost 12 pounds since the Knicks lost to the Heat in the first round of the playoffs.
"Me and coach Woodson talk, and me and the training staff talk, and
there are some things that they would like to see coming back into this
season," said Anthony, who visited with Mike Woodson in Los Angeles last
week. "Right now, I exceeded their expectations, and when they saw me
the other day, they were kind of shocked to see me down in weight. They
came to my workout, they saw it. They're actually excited about how much
hard work that I'm putting in and the things I'm doing right now."
Anthony found motivation in watching LeBron James lead the Heat to the title.
"The motivation is fun at this point in time just to see those guys and
see how excited they were to win that championship and see LeBron
overcome everything that he's been going through and that's been said
about him," said Anthony, who talked to James and Dwyane Wade right
after Game 5. "And for him to finally get it, I couldn't be more excited
for him to get that. But for me, it's motivation and it's exciting."

The More You Ignore Me is shown at Nunney Village Hall on Friday 8 March, presented by Somerset Moviola and the Nunney Village Hall Committee.
The More You Ignore Me is a 2018 British comedy written by and starring Jo Brand. Directed by Keith English, it also stars Sheridan Smith, Sheila Hancock and Ricky Tomlinson.
Based on Jo Brand's critically acclaimed novel of the same name, The More You Ignore Me is a warm, comedy drama focusing on the life of an unconventional family in 1980s rural England.
The film focuses on Gina (Sheridan Smith), a young mother, whose efforts to be a loving mother and wife are undermined by her declining mental health.
Things deteriorate when she develops an obsession with the local weatherman, which leads to an admission to the nearby psychiatric hospital.
Over the years, as she grows up, her daughter Alice (Ella Hunt) struggles to relate to her heavily medicated mum, and causes chaos when she comes up with a plan to reconnect with her, which divides the family forever and leads to a moving climax.
Set to the songs of The Smiths, The More You Ignore Me provides a sometimes stark, yet comical insight into life within this quirky household, whilst addressing mental health issues and their impact on the family.
The More You Ignore Me has a 15 rating. No one younger than 15 may see a 15 film in a cinema.
The More You Ignore Me is shown at Nunney Village Hall on Friday 8 March at 7.30pm. Door open at 7pm. Seats cannot be reserved, so please come early.
Tickets cost £5 in advance at the SPAR shop in Nunney or £6 on the door. Advance booking is highly recommended (the film nights frequently sell out in advance!).

Chandini means moonlight in Hindi. That would probably imply that I'm North Indian by ethnicity (for those that understand the difference between North and South India).
My parents hail from Chennai, Tamil Nadu. We say and think 'Aiyyo Kadhavule' 99% of the time due to other peoples' neurotic behavior.
Ghee in and on Pongal, Dosa, Idly, Sambhar, and Rasam is always on the menu; except on Thayyar sadham (yogurt rice). It is equivalent to a closing of a merger – meals are serious business.
The current Marghazi season and future ones are usually on the table for discussions, along with which kutcheris (concerts) we are attending. Trips to Chennai always include Elaneer (coconut water), Malli poo (jasmine flower) and at least one meal on a vaazha elai (banana leaf).
I am thoroughly South Indian, born and raised in New York State (clarification due to the misconception that I'm from New York City).
As you can tell I like using parentheses. A lot.
I'm a recent graduate with a Master's of International Business! I'm also a coffee fanatic and a tea enthusiast. I sporadically bake as well.
Anyways – Hey! Welcome to my blog.

Praia D'El Rey - Lisbon & Centre - Portugal
Vale Janela,
2514-999 Obidos,
- +351 (0)262 905005
1 hour north of Lisbon
Contact in advance
Francisco Cadete
Luís Barroso
Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal, has been heralded for many years as a wonderful city break destination. A beautiful city blessed with amazing architecture, history and culture, not to mention restaurants serving delicious local dishes and fresh seafood. However, that's not the end to the interest the Vale de Tejo and Oeste regions can offer. If you can bring your clubs and stay a little longer you will experience some of the best golf courses in Portugal.
Along with such excellent courses Penha Longa, Oitavos, and Aroeira that all rate highly in the Top 100 Golf Course rankings, Praia D'El Rey Golf and Beach Resort is one of the area's top courses and shouldn't be missed. An hour northwest of Lisbon on the Costa de Prata, and not far from the attractive medieval town of Obidos with its whitewashed houses, Moorish castle and natural lagoon, Praia D'El Rey occupies a wonderful and privileged position.
Designed by the renowned and respected American architect Cabell B. Robinson who has been responsible for a number of excellent European courses, Praia D'El Rey opened for play in 1997. The course is set in two loops of nine holes, has a par of 72 and measures 6,405 metres from the championship tees. It is reported that having viewed the site for the course at Praia D'El Rey, Robinson modestly said "This is the kind of landscape we architects try to create, but at Praia D'El Rey it's all here, naturally. Now it's my responsibility to protect it". He has made an excellent job of doing just that.
Rather like the excellent layout at Oitavos just down the Portuguese coast, Praia D'El Rey mixes great holes cut through lush vegetation with a number of holes that run along the coastline and encompass sand dunes and links-style challenges whilst at the same time providing amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean and the nearby Berlenga Islands. With large threatening bunkers and thoughtfully designed and located greens the course will make the golfer think from tee to green.
The early holes head gently uphill and then downhill towards the coast and the amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean but don't let them distract you, after a reasonably comfortable dogleg opening hole the 2nd is a cracking par five measuring 463 metres with water on the right and bunkers and rough ever present.
From the 4th hole the course turns inland for the rest of the front nine and the pick of the holes include the long par four 5th measuring 441 metres and the great par three 8th requiring an accurate shot to carry the large lake to an oval green protected by bunkers at the back. Finally, the 9th is a great finish to the front nine. It may be pretty straight, but it measures 393 metres and it's all uphill with a narrow fairway and there are no fewer than nine bunkers to contend with.
The back nine starts with a superb par five measuring 460 metres with a tricky green protected by a deep bunker left and an even deeper lake right! From here the back nine just gets better and better and every hole is worthy of note. If any have to be picked out for special accolade then it must be the stretch from 12-15 that all run along the coast and are superb tests with or without the often present Atlantic breezes. A mention must also go to the 17th, a monstrous uphill par five measuring 570 metres – for those using yards that's over 620 of them!
Gold World described Praia D'El Rey as "A mix of holes – some in the mighty dunes, others among fragrant pines – that are an assault to the senses. Wild and wonderful" and we can only concur with them and we thoroughly recommend a visit to this great course.
Praia D'El Rey is one of our Top 100 Golf Resorts of the World
Reviews for Praia D'El Rey
PDR is a brilliant course design that combines true links golf with pure parkland holes in a very unique and interesting way to play.
The course is a tough test from the back tees, but also offers great rewards for good shots. On many tees you need to know the right lines to hit, so I suggest to prepare your tee shots very well. The greens are very fast and are often quite big green complexes. Often you need to hit it at the right spots. Otherwise you face a 25 yard put on a very fast green.
The course is in amazing shape. It's a lot of fun and true test for good players, while still somehow playable for high handicappers.

Played Praia twice during our week long stay on the Silver Coast. In terms of variety of terrain and different styles of holes it was probably the preferred course of our mixed handicap group. There's nothing really tricked up here and the vistas along the coast from the linksy 12th to the 15th contrast rather nicely with the tree-lined holes on the front 9. The other aspect that made the course interesting was that we played one day on a benign, sunny afternoon and then on a dull, blowy, chilly morning. The course was an entirely different beast on our second go but never felt unplayable or unfair. It was just a different kind of (bobble-hated) fun.

A perfect afternoon of seaside golf; cloudless skies but not too hot, and a tremendously fun and scenic golf course. The benign and forgiving sibling of West Cliffs shouldn't be overlooked, mistakes are more likely to be punished with a bogey rather than a blob, so worth keeping score not just playing matchplay. Nice variety of holes, full par fives, and quick receptive greens.
"Seaweed smells from sandy caves
And thyme and mist in whiffs,
In-coming tide, Atlantic waves
Slapping the sunny cliffs,
Unidentified local birdsong and sea sounds in the air
And splendour, splendour everywhere..."

Praia D'El Rey Golf & Beach Resort is regarded as one of Portugal's premier golf courses. It was designed by American architect Cabell Robinson and opened for business in 1997.
Robinson routed the course through both links and parkland settings giving the course a different character from hole to hole. The 'parkland' holes are framed by pine trees and have a nice feel to them, but for mine it is the links style holes in the coastal dunes that are the most memorable at PDR.
Whilst the front nine loops around on the inland side of the course, the back nine heads for the coast. The anticipation builds as holes 10 and 11 head toward the beach and holes 12-15 are the reward: lovely links holes right on the water!
Despite the quality of the golfing terrain PDR appears a relatively simple course with relatively unsophisticated green complexes and bunkering. In this regard it has the feel of an 'olde worlde' course. Nevertheless the course has a certain rustic charm, and with quality accommodation next door (The Marriott) it makes for a very pleasant golfing stopover.
Praia D'El Rey is an entertaining place to play golf. Combine it with a stay at the Marriott hotel next door and more golf at the fabulous West Cliffs and perhaps Royal Obidos and it becomes a compelling short golfing trip in the making.

I'm holding my finish on the immaculate 15th tee in Praia Del Rey. More in horror than in hope. My titleist has decided to go home and is heading for America, despite the onshore breeze. "It's coming back." Says my comedian of a playing partner, as two yards of wind blown late fade forlornly eat into the 100 yards of towering pull that sent it sailing beyond the OB. Way Over the wild and floriferous scrub, hunkering tenuously, on the jagged sandy cliffs. My ball Disappearing perfectly, into the protean cauldron of elements, bordering this generous and magnificent hole; all the way from the High tee, down to the shimmering and tilted green in the swirling distance. My ball, lost, where the sky met the horizon and the crashing Atlantic rollers below.
Second serve.
We all agreed we could play here every day. We loved the routing. The variety. The conditioning. A championship golf course that's fun to play and has no weak holes. To lose a ball here is not easy, but it can be done.

Because the course was so busy the afternoon I teed it up here, I played the back nine first – which made the more unexciting front nine appear a little insipid in comparison to what had gone before, so I recommend that you don't reverse the nines if you can help it!
Regarding the front nine holes, the 2nd and 3rd have ocean views but they're not particularly strong holes, the first doglegging down and right past a large hillside irrigation pond and the second playing slightly downhill to a rather bland par three.
Thankfully, things improve dramatically after crossing the road to venture further inland, with a great sequence of roller coaster holes from the 4th to the 7th and these get progressively tighter as you move from one to the next, culminating in a lovely raised green site at the par five 7th hole (pictured).
The 8th is a terrific par three – played from a seriously elevated tee position amongst thick native vegetation to a distant green that sits behind a sizeable pond – and it requires an "all-or-nothing" tee shot which is better long than short to avoid the risk of playing your next shot from the drop zone.
Moving onto the back nine, the first two holes really only function to get you away from the clubhouse to the coastline, where the main action takes place between the 12th and the 15th. It's just a pity some may think the big residential development to the north of the property diminishes the longer views along the coast at this point.
I really liked the linksy, lived-in feel along this stretch, with rickety wooden fencing in the left rough to keep the sand from encroaching onto the fairways and the old disused buildings next to the 14th green (pictured) – it'll be hard for some to stay focused when there are huge waves crashing onto the beach so close to where they're playing.
After such a thrilling sequence, it's only natural the last couple of holes back to the clubhouse will appear lacklustre in comparison but you should still have a strong feeling of elation when walking off the 18th, having just completed a memorable round on one of the best courses in the country.

Praia D'El Rey is a beautiful place! Set along the Atlantic, it offers a great golfing experience with high-level service. First, the facilities are good. The clubhouse is nice, with good food and a great terrace for your post-round meal and drinks. The practice facility is fine, but not great, and it could use some improvements, mainly a better short game area.
The course itself is a good one. The conditioning is good and the greens role true. The green complexes are not the most interesting in the world, but they do a good of keeping you thinking. The layout leads you from lush forest to the coastal dunes with tremendous sea views and vistas, and then back into the forest for the end of both nines. The best part of the course is definitely the one playing into the dunes along the Atlantic. While the real estate on the property does take away from what the course could be, holes 13, 14, 15 and 16 are arguably one of the best stretches of golf in Portugal! The 17th hole is a good, challenging par 5 giving you an opportunity at birdie, but it is not a memorable hole. The 18th is somewhat of a letdown, not capitalizing of the good momentum and excitement brought about by the previous holes.
Praia D'El Rey makes for a very good round of golf. If the wind is up, it will show its teeth. On a calm day, good scores can be had! With Royal Obidos next door, it is a great place to enjoy the good weather, the beach and the great atmosphere to be found in that part of Portugal. I look forward to seeing what the new Dye Design course being built along the same shores will look like!

This property has two sides to it… 1/ the course 2/ the resort
The course in itself is both challenging and stunning. The back 9 being world class. One of its strong points, is that it's playable for all levels. Just play the tees of your handicap. It's not too difficult, nor too easy, if you play well you'll score well, just as golf is meant to be. But some drives are quite narrow so on a bad day keep your driver in the bag.
This course needs to be played more than once to understand the finer points of its design and strategy, as there are a few holes where you are sort of guessing the line, without it being trully blind holes.
Golfer info : many people drive a cart, but I walked and don't feel like a cart is needed. You would much prefer walking the sea side holes, as you will want this moment to never end.
Then comes the resort part – There are way too many houses for my liking. It takes a bit off of the course unfortunately. Both fairways and greens were way over watered, as resort courses often are in the summer season .
On the drive back to Lisbon, my friend and I were so happy to have played it, with plenty of positive things to share and good shots to comment on. If you are in Lisbon, it's worth the 90-minute drive, definitely!
You will leave the course on a incredibly high note – the ravishing beauty of the last 8 holes is intense.

This course is a strong 5-ball ranking, very strong indeed and close to me giving it the full 6-ball treatment; just a couple of holes that need a re-think but definitely a must-play. For obvious reasons most of the images shown of the course will be those at the ocean from the 12th to the 16th, here the wind blows, the sand dunes look fantastic and the challenge on all of the holes is immense. The 15th is my favourite in this run; around 400 yards from the white tee with bunkers in play on the right; only about 190 yards from the tee but when the wind is 'into', they are there for a reason. The last 100 yards to the is through a big dip in the fairway to an undulating green and a stroke index of 3, says it all.
The middle of the back nine at Praia d'el rey is very special indeed, with a few comparisons of the same run of holes at Kingsbarns in Scotland. The course opens with some great variety with a par-4, par-5 and a par-3 but it is the par-3 3rd that is one of the lesser holes on the course; fairly short at 156 yards and downhill but just looks a little ordinary. This is very quickly put behind you as the short par-4 4th is brilliant, 300 yards, slightly turning right and a massive sand-dune at the green on the left is the line with a slight fade. Holes 6 to 9 take on a different feel, away from the coast and into the trees; this change of style works very well and it is easy to think you are playing on the Old course at Vilamoura or even at Woburn in England. During these holes, the par-3 8th over water to a kidney shaped green with bunkers at the back is great fun to play.
The start of the back nine (before that great run of holes) is strong too; water at the green on the par-5th 10th is the biggest problem here. Loved the par-5 17th too, dog-legging to the left and getting on for 600 yards and uniquely on this course, no bunkers at all – the slightly uphill approach is key and avoiding the run-off at the right of the green is a must. Looking at the Portuguese rankings and based on the courses that I have played, Praia De'l Rey would not look out of place in the Top 5, which then could then mean a Continental Europe Top 50 position. I cannot wait to return one day as the golfing area between here and south to Lisbon is highly recommended.

Whilst this may sound slightly strange, I arrived at Praia D'El Rey, looked around and felt like bursting into tears. Before you think I have lost my marbles allow me to explain.I was lucky enough to live in Lisbon for 3 years in the late 90's and got to play at Praia D'El Rey in it's infancy. Back then the course was a delight to play, in amongst the dunes of the back 9 and the relative solitude of the pine forest of the closing holes of the front 9. For me it was a wonderful course, especially played from the white or black tees - a great challenge for any quality of golfer.Returning for a round in 2013 I was excited as I truly loved playing golf around here - I loved the challenge back in the late 90's and the conditioning back then was fantastic.
To be greeted by the sight of endless properties bordering almost every hole took my breath away for all the wrong reasons.Once out on the course I thought the conditioning had somewhat fallen away and being forced to play from the yellow tees made some of the wonderfully challenging holes this course has to offer slightly less of the stunning holes they should be. For example the 5th, 9th, 15th and 16th are quality golf holes and they should be allowed to be played by better golfers from the back tees. Afterall, there are so many teeing options here why not use them?
There is no doubt that the stretch of holes from the 13th to the 15th are wonderful holes with the immense waves crashing to your left but I left with a heavy heart. A course I had truly enjoyed playing has been reduced to a poor imitation of it's former self. In my opinion, what should be one of Europe's magical courses has had its aura removed and thrown into the pool of one of the hideous properties bordering the holes. Such a shame!

You put a great deal of effort into getting into the college of your choice. It's time to get started. What comes next? It isn't always easy to settle in to college life. Continue reading to learn some great advice on how to make the transition go more smoothly.
When you go to college, bring along shampoo, conditioner, soap and so on. You'll find that you go through them faster than you might have thought. Try to buy in bulk as well, as this will help you to save money over time.
A loan is a valuable option if you cannot pay for college. College has a number of financial rewards ultimately, so it is acceptable that you acquire a bit of debt to help with that.
Eat healthy. Have you ever heard of "The Freshman 15"? Well, it's no joke. So keep healthy snacks on hand to avoid this. Try and stay away from fast foods and junk foods. The foods may be low in cost initially, but these costs add up, and so do the pounds they create.
Bring all of the materials that you need to the test site before the exam. Neglecting to bring an important item, such as a calculator, will leave you with a serious disadvantage. Your professor is not going to babysit you and have these things available, so it is up to you to make sure you know what you need.
Once you are in college, try to get as much as you can from the experience. It took a lot to get to college, but it takes even more to get complete college. The hints and advice here can help you plot a successful college plan. Begin enjoying your college years, and get yourself on the right track for your life.

Attrition is not a word many companies want to hear, unless it's associated with their competitors. Attrition is essentially the slow decay of a company. If management doesn't take action to stop attrition, the workforce will shrink, production will stop and the company will likely go out of business.
Attrition occurs when employees leave a company. Attrition can quickly deplete a company of its best employees and drastically thin its workforce, leading to slow production or even stoppages. Attrition can cause current employees to take on additional workloads, leading to stress and worsening the situation. Even if a company replaces its lost employees, it must then spend the time and money training new workers.
Employee Relations
Poor employee relations may cause attrition. Employees who feel that they're treated poorly, paid wages lower than industry standards and offered little to no benefits may seek employment elsewhere. Examples of poor employee relations include forcing employees to work long hours constantly, berating employees and refusing to acknowledge their contributions. The company may not be able to replace employees who leave, because of recruitment issues or because of the company's reputation for poor employee relations. To stop attrition caused by sub-par employee relations, management must overhaul the way in which it treats employees. By respecting its workforce through communicating in a friendly manner, offering better wages and benefits and empowering employees, companies can stop employees from exiting en masse.
Company Health
A company whose financial health dwindles may result in employees seeking new opportunities elsewhere. Many employees choose to be proactive in job searches and would rather secure a job with a healthy company than be caught blindsided by a company that terminates its workforce due to financial problems. Companies that experience attrition resulting from poor financial health often find it difficult to stem the tide, because to improve the company, it needs high performing employees. For example, suppose Company A has seen sales plummet for the past three years. With no sign of a change, employees will begin looking at the company's competitors for job security.
A company that's experiencing problems keeping employees can help the situation by recruiting more employees. Even if a company's employees leave for other opportunities, it can keep operations going by hiring new workers. To improve recruitment, companies must advertise for open positions through numerous avenues, including job boards, social networking and newspapers. A company should focus on the benefits candidates will enjoy by joining the company. By making a consistent effort to recruit, a company can at least replace its exiting employees.

#25 Size 24 Inch Victorian Dress Form For all Size 24" Patterns Copyright 1993 Revised 2001 24 INCH Designed By Betty Bailey Lincoln Mold Company 2554 Mansfield Dr., Des Moines, IA 50317 http://www.lincoln-mold.com DOLL #25-24 Revised VICTORIAN DRESS FORM Copyright 1996 Revised 2001 Size 24 - 19th Century Fashion Plate Patterns Fits This Dress Form 4. Using a hand drill and the smallest bit, drill a hole through the base of the dowel sideways extending into the plaque. Hammer a finishing nail into the drilled hole. This will make the stand stronger. By Betty Bailey 5. Let it dry according to glue directions. Take off any excess glue. Sand the wood and stain and varnish. Let dry. LINCOLN MOLD CO. 2554 Mansfield Dr. Des Moines, IA 50317 6. Cut a felt circle the size of the bottom of the wooden base. Glue felt circle it to the wooden base. This protects your furniture when dress form is placed on it. Pattern Pieces: 1. Center Front Panel 2. Side Front Panel 3. Side Panel 4. Side Back Panel 5. Center Back Panel 6. Bottom Cover 7. Bottom Cover Cardboard Insert 8. Neck Cover 9. Neck Cover Cardboard Insert Use the wooden stand when stuffing the Dress form. It will be needed in order to make the form stand properly and not lean in a strange way. Materials Needed: 1/2 yd of Heavy Muslin; 1 Bag of Poly Fill; 10 inches of 1/2 inch PVC pipe; Heavy Cardboard; Small Finial to finish the top; Thread to match; a 6 or 7 inch wooden wall plaque from the Craft Store for base; 18 inch long Dowel (3/8 inch); White Glue; Wood Glue; Sand paper; Varnish/Stain MAKE WOODEN STAND FIRST 1. Sand and varnish the wooden base, the dowel and the finial for the top piece. 2. Using a drill press, drill a hole in the center of the plaque the size of the dowel. Use a 3/5" drill bit to fit a 3/5" dowel. Make a perfect 90 degree angle. 3. Spread wood glue inside the drilled hole and on the end of the dowel. Push the dowel into the hole. Make sure the dowel does not extend below the plaque. This will cause the form to be unsteady. Page 2 MAKING THE DRESS FORM 7. Pin the shoulder seams together matching the •'s. Back stitch at each end. NOTE: Seams are 1/4 inch unless instructed otherwise. 1. Cut out pattern pieces. Mark the •'s. 8. Match and pin the side panel in place. First match the shoulder • and pin secure. Match the lower • and pin. 2. Stitch the center front seam of the center front panels (#1). Back stitch each end. Press seams open. 9. Begin machine stitching at the shoulder • and stitch downward. Gently stretch the side panel just below the shoulder • as indicated on pattern piece. 3. Stitch in a double row of gathering threads between the squares shown on the pattern piece. The seams should be placed each side of the center front seam and on the pressed open seam allowance. 10. Pin the cloth neck cover piece in place matching •'s. Even up the space between pins. More important than matching the •'s is that the round neck cover is round and even. Just keep working with it until it is even. Then machine stitch. 4. Draw up the threads to measure 2 1/2 inches. Place a narrow twill tape on the inside of the center front seam and stitch in a ditch in the seam, stitching on the outer side. Back stitch each end. Now the gathering threads may be pulled out. 11. Pin cloth bottom in place. Match the •'s with the center front seam and the center back seam first. Then match the side •s and pin. Pin all around evenly. Machine stitch. 5. Pin the two side front panels to the center fronts matching notches waist line and ends. Machine stitch and back stitch. Press seams open. 6. Repeat with the back 4 panels. When stitching the center back seam, leave the opening unstitched as indicated on pattern piece. This is for stuffing. Back stitch at each end of the opening. Turn the seam allowance back and machine stitch around the opening. This will keep the edges from raveling as it is being stuffed and will also make it easier to hand stitch closed after stuffing. Page 3 12. With the Dress Form wrong side out, check to see if the cardboard bottom fits the cloth bottom area. Adjust to fit evenly. The hole should be made in the cardboard and fit evenly over the hole in the cloth bottom. Glue the two cardboard bottoms together for extra strength before placing in the dress form. Cut the corrugations in opposite directions in each piece. This will also make it stronger. 14. Turn the form right side and pull the wrinkles and puckers flat in the fabric. 15. After it is dry enough to handle, pull the neck out through the back opening. Make sure the cardboard disk will fit inside the neck cover and place the neck cardboard in place. A spot of glue will hold the cardboard in place. Seam allowances should not be cough between the cardboard and the top fabric circle. It will make a bump there and there will be no flat surface to glue the finial. STUFFING THE DRESS FORM 16. Place the PVC pipe up inside form and begin to stuff it pushing pipe up inside body as you stuff. 17. Place the form onto stand and make sure pipe is falling in place so that it will stand naturally. 18. Use a pusher for the stuffing and make sure the form is very tightly stuffed. The shaping of the body is done at this time. Push stuffing around until you get the shape you want. You will not get a nice body shape unless this step is followed carefully. Punch, push and kneed the stuffing into place. 19. If the body leans back to much, put more stuffing in front of the pipe. If the bust is not rounded out as you want, use the pusher and push more stuffing in. Kneed the stuffing to the proper shape, as you stuff. The same can be done with the hips, shoulders, neck, etc. 20. When the form is tight enough and in the proper shape, stitch up the back opening by overcastting. 21. A wooden finial (finished up the same way as the stand) may be glued on the top of the neck to finish it off. Or, use your imagination to put the finish of your choice to the top.
