Salon 1800 in Lincoln Park, Chicago, offers a new method of hair extensions—a virtually invisible, easy to apply, tape-in system called Industrial Lengths. Using 100 percent Remy human hair, the extensions come in 17 shades, (straight or wavy texture), and are applied to the client's natural growth pattern and easily form to the head shape. SALON TODAY talked with Helene March, creator of the line, CEO of Fine Line Distributors and owner of Salon 1800, about her new extension invention!
Benefits: While some hair extension application methods require the use of bonding, knotting, weaving or welding, which can cause serious strain to the hair, Industrial Lengths ensures full support with complete flexibility, causing no tension breakage or drag, promotes healthy hair and requires no heat for application or removal. As far as coloring, you can color your client's hair with them applied, and tone them but not lift them.
The Process: Every client who wants Industrial Lengths hair extensions has to come in for a consultation. During the consultation their hair is examined, and the extensionist determines if it's the right fit for a client's lifestyle. During the consultation they do a color match, and then order the hair. The client makes another appointment for application.
The Application: Start by clarifying the client's hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove the impurities and extra product. The hair is brushed out, blow dried, and the wefts are applied on the sides, the back, and then is continued around the hairline. To apply a weft, you apply at least two fingers width above the top of the ear and a quarter of an inch from the part line. Check placement of each weft, and secure by pressing down with index finger and thumb. Remove protective strip, and add liquid adhesive starting in corners and filling into the center with a small brush applicator. Let dry.
How long they last: Three months
Things to Avoid: Natural oil breaks down the tape, so do not apply conditioner to the top of the head. Keep any thermal tools three inches away from the tape. Avoid any oil products at the top of the head.
Maintenance: Make sure to shampoo under and over extensions to get all oil washed away from the adhesive. Apply a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, and leave-in conditioner from mid-shaft to ends. Direct a powder dry shampoo at wefts to remove extra oils.
Removal: After three months the client comes into the salon and the extensions are removed. They can be reused and reapplied to the new growth.
Cost: Price varies by pieces. 1 pack includes 5 sheets of hair and costs #135 (used for added volume). 2 packs include 10 sheets of hair (used for added volume and length.) The entire service costs $200 for an application of 1 pack, and $400 for an application of 2 packs. Clip-ons cost $110, can be taken home and require no backcombing application.

Pershing says it will roll out a retirement plan program later this year to help advisors, broker-dealers and RIAs grow their business. These plans, which advisors would custody at Pershing, will be integrated with third-party administrators and recordkeepers on the new platform.
"The Retirement Plan Network will allow our clients to target these plans, and, at the same time, to opt to serve small- and medium-size business owners by managing their personal assets, for instance," said Robert Cirrotti, director of retirement solutions, in an interview Thursday during the group's annual Insite conference in Hollywood, Fla.
For advisors, this new Pershing service gives them increased efficiency, Cirrrotti says, with the ability to work across different recordkeepers; for RIAs, as they manage services like asset-allocation models, it means they can do such work across various retirement plans and recordkeepers; and for broker-dealers, it brings greater transparency and oversight via a single platform that works with multiple third-party administrators.
"This should make Pershing a hub for retirement-centric advisors," Cirrotti explained, "as we help them move through the lifecycle from selling the retirement plan work to servicing and managing it."
In other news, Pershing said Thursday that one of its affiliates, Albridge, is in the process of introducing a new Albridge Wealth Reporting platform with enhanced functionality so advisors can better leverage client portfolio data and provide investors with accurate and insightful analysis.
"The new Albridge Wealth Reporting platform goes far beyond anything we have brought to market before," explained Peter Antonucci, managing director at Pershing, in a statement. "We were focused on reimagining a framework for data management, reporting, workflow and accessibility. The result is a solution that is robust, flexible and more intuitive."
'Positive' Directions
Pershing's tech news is one of several themes being highlighted at its annual conference.
The economy is "heading in right direction," said Pershing CEO Ron DeCicco, adding that the firm is optimistic about the markets the advisory business tied to them.
"The U.S. is in the mid-cycle of an eight-year expansion, with growth likely to accelerate for the next three years," DeCicco said on Wednesday, before an audience of about 2,000 advisors and others attending the group's annual Insite conference. "Companies are cautiously hiring, and we are seeing positive trends on the Pershing platform."
Client assets, as of April 30, stand at almost $1.5 trillion, vs. $943 billion in 2009 and $1.4 trillion in 2013.
As for asset allocation, clients hold about 31% of their portfolios in equities. By product, mutual funds (excluding ETFs) represent 34% of portfolios, but ETFs are catching up; they account for nearly 6% of assets today.
"The strongest flows are into global and international funds, indicating demand for … more diversification," said DeCicco.
Those investors working with an advisor "create more assets than those who are not," he notes, pointing to data that shows these households had grown their assets 173% over 15 years.
Clients also are favoring products that they can invest in with no fees. The level of assets held in no-fee products (on Pershing's FundVest platform) stood at $406 billion 2013, up from $338 billion in 2012.

She holds my heart in her hands and we sit to talk. I need to feel warm and she needs to feel safe. We are quiet at the moment but stars speak. Her eyes glisten like emeralds as she flips and turns my heart in her hands carefully examining it. And I'm surprised how there isn't even one moment of fear that crosses my mind that she might drop it. Because I know with surety she won't.
I have never been as sure about anything in my life as I am about her. I am actually glad she has my heart in her hands because I fear it's her touch that keeps it beating. Without her love, there will be just colourless voids and a heart that keeps forgetting to beat.
So we sat to talk. We should have talked. We could have talked. But we didn't. Instead we just lay together staring into infinite space that looked nothing less than pure magic. I wanted her to tell me things, anything. Lot of things. Everything. Just hear her speak. But her eyes were too loud for me to hear anything else at that moment. So I stared at her while she stared at the stars.
I didn't want us to be mere accident like something that just happens one day unexpectedly. I wanted us to be on purpose- that just has to be for a reason. I wanted to love her on purpose and not like an accident.
She was a calm whisper in a world that was too loud. And although she was a chaos herself, I knew she could calm the storm within me.
She broke her eye contact with the stars and looked at me. And all it took was flash of a second, for me to know; I'd be a fool to let her go. Because she needed me as much as I needed her. And together, we were going to heal and glue back together our broken pieces.
It has always been her and me.
All those empty cervixes inside us that echoed with scars that still bled and thunders that still ripped us apart from time to time. It has always been her and me. And we, together, were going to heal.
Hence, she holds my heart in her hands to keep it beating, while I hold her close so she can breathe easy. I'm never leaving her side nor she needs to fall because she's already safe in my arms. She doesn't need to break herself anymore to prove anything.
I'm sure now, it has always been; her and me. And there is no way I'd rather have it be.

Winners announced in 2009 Collegiate Inventors Competition
|(Nanowerk News) A faster tool for cell programming and a new way of allowing quadriplegics to perform simple tasks have won grand prizes of the 2009 Collegiate Inventors Competition, a program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame sponsored by the Abbott Fund, the non-profit foundation of the global health care company Abbott, and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Harris Wang, who invented a new way of cell programming at Harvard Medical School, and Stephen Diebold, who invented the Drop Point tool for quadriplegics while at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, each received a $25,000 prize during the Competition's culminating ceremony last night at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.
|Graduate and undergraduate winners were also announced for their top work. Graduate winner Geoffrey von Maltzahn of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology won for his advances in nanomedicine to increase the effectiveness of cancer drugs, and the undergraduate team of Philip Wagner, Lindsay Holiday, and Dana Leland of Dartmouth College won for their electrocoagulation arsenic filter. As winners, von Maltzahn and the Dartmouth team each received a $15,000 prize from the competition.
|All student entries were scrutinized during an initial evaluation process by over 20 experts from industry, government, and academic research who judged the entries on the originality of the idea and the potential value and usefulness of the invention to society. Then, on October 19th, nine chosen finalists presented their inventions to a final panel of seven judges, including five inductees from the National Inventors Hall of Fame and representatives from the USPTO and Abbott.
|James West, a final phase judge and an inductee in the National Inventors Hall of Fame for his invention of the electret microphone, said, "Once again, we're impressed by the outstanding caliber of the student inventions. We encourage college students to celebrate invention as part of their science and technology research, and we're also looking forward to seeing the impact of their work as they progress. I know that all the judges join me in commending these students."
|The prominent group of judges for this year's competition includes five National Inventors Hall of Fame inductees: C. Donald Bateman (Ground Proximity Warning System), Robert Bower (self-aligned gate MOSFET), Edith Flanigen (molecular sieves), Rangaswamy Srinivasan (excimer laser surgery), and James West (electret microphone). In addition, the judging panel includes Jeffrey Pan, Associate Director, Scientific Informatics and Automation, Global Pharmaceutical Discovery from Abbott, and Jasemine Chambers, Group Director of Industrial Design from the USPTO.
|"Abbott is proud to again be part of this competition that showcases innovation and foster broader understanding of science," explained Jeffrey Pan, Associate Director, Scientific Informatics and Automation, Global Pharmaceutical Discovery, Abbott. "Through our support of the competition, Abbott hopes to help inspire today's science students who may go on to find tomorrow's cures and treatments for the world's most serious diseases and health care challenges."
|"The United States Patent and Trademark Office is pleased to be part of this outstanding young inventor recognition program," USPTO Director David Kappos commented. "Maintaining America's technological edge is vitally important in today's world economy. The highly talented and creative collegiate inventors who participated this year renew my confidence that this nation's innovative tradition will continue to endure. I congratulate all of the 2009 winners and wish them well in their future endeavors."
|The graduate grand prize winner, Harris Wang, 26, is a student in the lab of George Church, a researcher well-known for his attempts to make genetic sequencing faster and cheaper. Church was long interested in creating faster tools for cell programming and discovered that Wang was willing to take on the challenge. Wang knew that cell programming was still a slow and hands-on process. He developed a protocol designed to permit faster cell programming, and then put together hardware and software to automate it. He calls the approach MAGE: Multiplex Automated Genome Engineering.
|To demonstrate, Wang engineered a strain of E. coli bacterium that produces lycopene, a red-colored antioxidant. He added the genetic recipe for lycopene to the bacterium's chromosome. Then he used his MAGE approach to evolve a strain of the bacteria in which production of lycopene was highly efficient. In a more traditional approach, researchers painstakingly isolate, snip apart, reassemble, and reinsert individual genes. Wang believes that his technology will allow bioengineers to produce customized microorganisms much more cheaply and quickly than possible before. Such engineered microorganisms might be used to produce a wide variety of useful compounds, such as antibiotics, biofuels, and chemotherapy drugs. Born in China, Wang grew up in Salt Lake City and is currently working towards his doctorate in biophysics.
|Undergraduate grand prize winner Stephen Diebold, 21, from the Chicago suburb of Rolling Meadows, designed an improved pointing stick for use by people with quadriplegia and other disabilities that prevent them from using their arms. Pointing sticks are used to type, operate cell phones, and otherwise manipulate objects. Existing pointing sticks are gripped in the user's teeth or mounted, helmet-like, on the user's head. Either approach presents problems: a mouth-held pointer prevents the user from speaking and a head-mounted pointer requires assistance to put on or take off.
|Diebold's Drop Point stick is designed to be donned and doffed with a shrug of the user's chin. He came up with the approach after spending time with then-law student Jonathan Ko, who has quadriplegia. Diebold said, "I saw that to Jonathan, the pointing stick was his arms and hands, and he had to ask somebody every time he wanted to use his hands?that seemed absurd to me." By attaching the pointing stick to a cup which is in turn attached to a strap that loops around the user's neck, the user is able to freely engage the pointer as he wishes. Diebold is currently majoring in industrial design.
|Graduate prize winner Geoffrey von Maltzahn, 29, turns what may be a new page in nanomedicine with his method of using a pair of nanoparticles that work together in an innovative way to increase the effectiveness and lower the side effects of existing cancer drugs. Powerful cancer-killing drugs are well-known to science and widely used in clinical medicine, but since these drugs are also highly toxic to healthy cells, targeting drugs specifically to tumors has been a major focus in cancer research. Of late, much of this drug-targeting research has looked at using nanoparticles to carry the drugs to tumors. A major challenge, however, is that cancer cells, and the tumors they may form, have a finite numbers of targets to which nanoparticles can attach?and since a given nanoparticle can carry only a small drug payload, this limits the amount of drug that can be delivered.
|In von Maltzahn's approach, one set of nanoparticles lodge in a tumor's blood vessels and cause local bleeding. The bleeding prompts clotting factors to be produced, which in turn, attracts a second set of nanoparticles that have been programmed to be attracted to the clotting factors and that deliver a cancer drug. The use of the clotting factors dramatically increases the number of targets for the drug-carrying particles. Raised first in Arlington, Texas and then Fairfax, Virginia, von Maltzahn received degrees from MIT and the University of California, San Diego before beginning his current work on a Ph.D. in medical engineering and physics.
|Undergraduate prize winners Philip Wagner, Lindsay Holiday, and Dana Leland tackled the problem of reducing arsenic found in groundwater to safe levels, with a cheap, reliable device made of materials locally available in rural Nepal. The team developed a way of using electrocoagulation?a process employed in the large-scale water treatment plants of many modern cities?in a system radically downsized to fit into three five-gallon buckets. Water to be treated goes into the first bucket where the students induce electrocoagulation by sending a simple electric current through two steel plates in the water. Iron precipitates are released. These iron particles bond aggressively with the arsenic that exists in the water. This newly-reacted water is then poured into a second bucket of clean sand, which has a hole in the bottom and sits over a third empty bucket. The sand collects the iron-arsenic particles and arsenic-free water collects in the bottom bucket. When the team tested the device with water contaminated with 200 parts per billion (ppb) arsenic, the output water contained under 1ppb arsenic?well under the 10 ppb level considered safe for drinking.
|Wagner, 22, grew up in Fogelsville, Pennsylvania; Holiday, 24, spent time growing up in both Teec Nos Pos, Arizona in the Navajo Nation and Phoenix; and Leland, 22, is from Baltimore. All three are Spring 2009 engineering graduates of Dartmouth College.
|About the Collegiate Inventors Competition
|The Collegiate Inventors Competition, a program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame, encourages college students to be active in science, engineering, mathematics, technology, and creative invention. The Competition specifically recognizes and rewards the innovations, discoveries, and research by college and university students and their advisors for projects leading to inventions that may have the potential of receiving patent protection. Introduced in 1990, the Competition has awarded more than $1 million to nearly 100 students for their innovative work and scientific achievement through the help of its sponsors.

We've been giddy about the 918 for a while now, as it is a combination of everything we're passionate about: tech and speed.
The Porsche 918 plug-in hybrid supercar was the one that set the stage for the McLaren P1 and the Ferrari LaFerrari but was quickly upstaged by the dynamic duo – each putting power in excess of 900 horses to the pavement.
As far as we knew, the 918, which has had a long road to final production, was pegged at 795 horsepower. According to a fellow who pre-ordered one, however, and has visited the Porsche Development Center, the power could be in excess of 875 horsepower for production.
Posting on TeamSpeed, the buyer says the production 918 will be lighter weight and faster than previously announced, capable of rounding the Nurburgring in less than seven minutes.
At the end of his post, the author reveals that he has ordered all three hybrid supercars: 918, P1, and LaFerrari. He uses these bragging rights to emphasize his unbiased look at the 918.
The 918 – even if the extra power rumors aren't true – is an amazing beast. It'll go 93 miles on its electric batteries alone and also hit break-neck speeds. With an open top roof and four-wheel steering, it seems the 918 might be the ultimate supercar.
The 918 is expected to make its official production debut in September at the Frankfurt Auto Show. We're hoping we'll know more as the event approaches so stay tuned for more.

Bloemfontein Climate & Weather
Bloemfontein straddles the meeting point of the Highveld and the semi-arid Karoo region and the city experiences a semi-arid climate, with hot summers and cold, dry winters. The city gets plenty of sunshine, but by South African standards, it experiences extreme temperatures in mid-summer and mid-winter.
The average temperatures in summer, between December and February, range between 59°F (15°C) and 88°F (31°C), and in the winter, between June and August, average temperatures range between 28°F (-2°C) and 63°F (17°C).
The city tends to be dry and dusty in winter, with most of the rainfall coming in the summer months. This rainfall normally arrives in the form of dramatic and short-lived afternoon thunderstorms, often serving as a relief from the heat. In winter, snow is rare, but frost is very common.
The best time to visit Bloemfontein is in the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) when the weather is less extreme, but summers can be pleasant despite the heat, particularly as the frequent thunderstorms are rather refreshing. Bloemfontein tends to empty out over the festive season, when many South Africans migrate to the coast for holidays.

Story highlights
- 700 students will be given an antibiotic to guard against meningitis, health officials said
- Meningococcal disease has left one UCSB student permanently disabled
- Students who are close contacts of cases are receiving antibiotics
- Princeton will offer a meningitis B vaccine to students
Roughly 700 students at the University of California, Santa Barbara, will be given a powerful antibiotic to guard against meningitis after coming in contact with four people diagnosed with meningococcal disease, county health officials said Tuesday.
The news came as the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department confirmed a fourth student at the university has been diagnosed with meningococcal disease.
The four students all became sick with meningococcal disease, which can cause meningitis or blood infections, during a three-week period in November. One of them has become permanently disabled, the Santa Barbara Public Health Department said.
The second and third students who fell ill recovered and are back in classes, UCSB spokesman George Foulsham said. The fourth is expected to recover, he said, but the first is still hospitalized.
The first three cases were confirmed to be caused by type B bacteria, which is the same bacteria strain causing an outbreak of meningitis at Princeton University. Testing is not complete on the most recent case, county health spokeswoman Susan Klein-Rothschild said in an e-mail.
Meningitis is a form of meningococcal disease, but not all four cases at UCSB are meningitis, Klein-Rothschild said.
Although the Centers for Disease Control recommends that college freshmen living in dorms receive a meningitis vaccine, the vaccine approved for use in the United States does not protect against the kind caused by type B bacteria.
UCSB is sending a letter to its fraternities and sororities, most of which are based off campus, asking them to refrain from large social gatherings where cups might be exchanged, Foulsham said.
"We're almost certain that they'll go along with that as we head into the holiday period here," he said.
More than 500 students at UCSB who were identified as close contacts of these students have received preventive antibiotics, county health officials said.
This week, additional individuals who may have been exposed to the bacteria causing the meningococcal disease are being directed to take antibiotics.
The school has been consulting with the county health department and the CDC about the outbreak, Foulsham said.
On the opposite U.S. coast, Princeton announced last week that it would make an unlicensed vaccine for meningitis B available to undergraduate students, as well as graduate students living in dorms or the Graduate College and annexes, and other university community members with particular medical conditions.
The vaccine, Bexsero, made by Novartis, is approved in Australia and Europe but not the United States. The CDC's Institutional Review Board approved the importation of Bexsero specifically for the Princeton situation.
"The CDC is the lead on the vaccine issue," Klein-Rothschild said Tuesday.
What is meningitis B?
Meningitis is caused by inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain and the spinal cord, known as the meninges. Infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord usually causes this inflammation, according to the CDC.
Meningitis usually develops in response to bacteria or viruses, but there can be other forms and causes, such as physical injury, cancer or certain drugs, according to the CDC. The bacterial form is rare in the United States, and the group B bacterial strains are even more rare.
Meningitis can spread via the exchange of saliva and other respiratory secretions through kissing, coughing, sharing drinks and living in close quarters, such as in dormitories, according to health officials.
Symptoms can include a stiff neck, headache, fever, vomiting, rashes, sensitivity to light and confusion. Untreated, the disease can lead to complications such as hearing impairment, brain damage, limb amputations and death.
Antibiotic treatment of the most common types of bacterial meningitis "should reduce the risk of dying from meningitis to below 15%, although the risk remains higher among young infants and the elderly," according to the CDC.
In 2012, there were 480 cases of bacterial meningitis in the United States, according to the CDC. Of those, 160 were group B.

Both the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the California Catholic Conference issued statements this afternoon criticizing the federal appeals court ruling striking down the California ban on same-sex marriage.
The USCCB news release:
WASHINGTON—Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, joins the bishops of California in denouncing the February 7 decision of a federal court rejecting the constitutionality of Proposition 8, a voter-approved initiative in California that recognizes marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
"Today's court ruling is a grave injustice, ignoring the reality that marriage is the union of one man and one woman," Cardinal-designate Dolan said. "The Constitution of the United States most assuredly does not forbid the protection of the perennial meaning of marriage, one of the cornerstones of society. The people of California deserve better. Our nation deserves better. Marriage deserves better."
The decision of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the August 4, 2010 decision of a federal district judge who had ruled Proposition 8 unconstitutional.
"Our society does not operate in an amoral or value-less vacuum," said Bishop Salvatore Cordileone of Oakland, chairman of the Subcommittee for the Promotion and Defense of Marriage. "To flourish, it must be infused with moral direction that is grounded in the truth. Of course, the true meaning of marriage, like the gift of human life, is ultimately not subject to a vote or court ruling. But in California, as in every other state where marriage has been put to a vote, the people justly upheld the truth of marriage. How tragic for California, for the nation, and especially for children, that this correctly-informed judgment has now been set aside."
The California Catholic Conference statement:
We are disappointed by the ruling today by a panel of the Ninth Circuit that would invalidate the action taken by the people of California affirming that marriage unites a woman and a man and any children from their union. However, given the issues involved and the nature of the legal process, it's always been clear that this case would very likely be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. Marriage between one man and one woman has been—and always will be—the most basic building block of the family and of our society.
In the end, through sound legal reasoning, we believe the court will see this as well and uphold the will of the voters as expressed in Proposition 8. We continue to pray for that positive outcome.

ELC hears school building funding options
When the Estherville Lincoln Central Board of Education began planning the new middle school and Demoney addition several years ago, the board had envisioned a Phase II to bring third and fourth graders from Roosevelt to Demoney.
Wednesday night, the board heard from a financial consultant who presented options for the Demoney expansion.
Travis Squires, senior vice president of public finance investment banking at Piper Jaffray & Co. of Des Moines, said there were four options available to the district:
n Cash on hand. Squires said general funds can't be spent on capital projects. However, the statewide sales tax and physical plant and equipment levy (PPEL) money could be eligible. He said grants and donations could also be options; however, sometimes donations have strings determining where the money can be spent.
n PPEL capital loan notes. The district could sell bonds with future PPEL money paying them off, allowing borrowing until the end of life of the PPEL.
n Sales tax revenue bonds. The district could borrow against the statewide penny, with collection based on what is currently collected.
n General obligation bonds. This is the option by which most school building projects are funded, Squires said. This option requires getting signatures on a petition that specifies the bond amount and purpose.
Squires noted a number of constraining factors regarding funding.
One would be the constitutional debt limit. A district can borrow no more than 5 percent of the district valuation.
Another restricting factor is bonding capacity. This could be further restricted by the debt limit.
Once a voter-approved PPEL is in place, no other public input is required, said Squires. The district could then borrow against future PPEL revenues. He said financing with the voted PPEL could be either public or private, with private financing placed with one or more investors such as a bank. He said using voted PPEL financing could shift money away from the maintenance budget; however, he said there would be an average borrowing rate of 2.2 to 2.5 percent according to current rates. He said there could be no borrowing against a board-authorized PPEL.
State sales tax money is driven by certifiable enrollment, said Squires, with money going to where students live.
Squires said general obligation bonds require 60 percent voter approval. He said sales tax revenues could be used to pay down GO bonds. He said the existing bond for the middle school has to be used for that project and not a new one.
Original GO bonds for the middle school were $8.7 million. The school district has $6.8 million remaining,
The bonds against the sales tax were originally $2.8 million and are currently $2,045,000.

Story Of Sangkuriang
Long Time Ago, there was a kingdom in Priangan Land. Lived a happy family. They were a father in form of dog,his name is Tumang, a mother which was called is Dayang Sumbi, and a child which was called Sangkuriang.
One day, Dayang Sumbi asked her son to go hunting with his lovely dog, Tumang. After hunting all day, Sangkuriang began desperate and worried because he hunted no deer. Then he thought to shot his own dog. Then he took the dog liver and carried home.
Soon Dayang Sumbi found out that it was not deer lever but Tumang's, his own dog. So, She was very angry and hit Sangkuriang's head. In that incident, Sangkuriang got wounded and scar then cast away from their home.
Years go bye, Sangkuriang had travel many places and finally arrived at a village. He met a beautiful woman and felt in love with her. When they were discussing their wedding plans, The woman looked at the wound in Sangkuriang's head. It matched to her son's wound who had left severall years earlier. Soon she realized that she felt in love with her own son.
She couldn't marry him but how to say it. Then, she found the way. She needed a lake and a boat for celebrating their wedding day. Sangkuriang had to make them in one night. He built a lake. With a dawn just moment away and the boat was almost complete. Dayang Sumbi had to stop it. Then, she lit up the eastern horizon with flashes of light. It made the cock crowed for a new day.
Sangkuriang failed to marry her. She was very angry and kicked the boat. It felt over and became the mountain of Tangkuban Perahu Bandung.
Story Of Toba Lake
Once upon a time, there was a man who was living in north Sumatera. He lived in a simple hut in a farm field. They did some gardening and fishing for his daily life.
One day, while the man was fishing, he caught a big golden fish in his trap. It was the biggest catch which he ever had in his life. Surprisingly, this fish turned into a beautiful princess. He felt in love with her and proposed her to be his wife. She said; "Yes, but you have to promise not to tell anyone about the secret that I was once a fish, otherwise there will be a huge disaster". The man made the deal and they got married, lived happily and had a daughter.
Few years later, this daughter would help bringing lunch to her father out in the fields. One day, his daughter was so hungry and she ate his father's lunch. Unfortunately, he found out and got furious, and shouted; "You damned daughter of a fish". The daughter ran home and asked her mother. The mother started crying, felt sad that her husband had broke his promise.
Then she told her daughter to run up the hills because a huge disaster was about to come. When her daughter left, she prayed. Soon there was a big earthquake followed by non-stop pouring rain. The whole area got flooded and became Toba Lake. She turned into a fish again and the man became the island of Samosir.

"Discover Michigan Snow Sports Month"
Understanding the importance of winter recreational activities, Governor Rick Snyder has issued a proclamation declaring January as "Discover Michigan Snow Sports Month."
The proclamation states that, "during this month, we encourage Michigan residents and visitors to learn more about and take advantage of the many snow sports Pure Michigan has to offer."
"We are pleased that Governor Snyder sees the importance of Michigan's winter travel and recreational activities," says Steve Kershner, chairman of the Michigan Snowsports Industries Association and Director of Snowsports at Shanty Creek Resorts in Bellaire. "Winter travel accounts for nearly 1/3 of the $17.7 billion-a-year Michigan travel industry," Kershner adds, noting that no matter where you live in the state, you are within a 2-hour drive of a ski area.
To make it easy and affordable to try skiing or snowboarding, the Michigan Snowsports Industries Association (MSIA) offers a program called "Discover Michigan Skiing, which includes: a beginner lesson, ski or snowboard rental equipment and a beginner-area ski lift pass or cross-country trail pass.

I've been a ThinkPad user for 15 years, ever since I switched from Mac OS to Windows for my primary work machine. The reason for the switch: back then the Mac version of Netscape's browser chronically lagged IE for Windows in functionality and speed. Although never thrilled with ThinkPad's performance relative to its price, I loved the keyboard and the trackpoint (that funny red button in the middle of the keyboard that serves as the mouse). The all-black plastic body wasn't the most stylish on the market, but it was acceptable.
But lately I've begun to have second thoughts. I'm even coming to believe that Lenovo secretly wants to kill the ThinkPad. Why? Because Lenovo has abandoned any pretense of trying to keep up with Apple as a manufacturer of premium professional laptops.

WASHINGTON - Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, the court's oldest member and leader of its liberal bloc, is retiring. President Barack Obama now has his second high court opening to fill.
Stevens said Friday he will step down when the court finishes its work for the summer in late June or early July. He said he hopes his successor is confirmed "well in advance of the commencement of the court's next term."
Stevens' announcement leaves ample time for the White House to settle on a successor and for Senate Democrats, who control a 59-vote majority, to hold confirmation hearings and a vote before the court's next term begins in October. Republicans have not ruled out attempts to delay confirmation.
Stevens' announcement had been hinted at for months. It comes 11 days before his 90th birthday.
Throughout his tenure, which began after President Gerald Ford nominated him in 1975, Stevens usually sided with the court's liberal bloc in the most contentious cases - those involving abortion, criminal law, civil rights and church-state relations. He led the dissenters as well in the case of Bush v. Gore that sealed President George W. Bush's election in 2000.
Stevens began signaling a possible retirement last summer when he hired just one of his usual complement of four law clerks for the next court term. He acknowledged in several interviews that he was contemplating stepping down and would certainly do so during Obama's presidency.
Obama planned to address Stevens' retirement with a 1:20 p.m. EDT statement in the Rose Garden.
Chief Justice John Roberts said in a written statement that Stevens "has enriched the lives of everyone at the Court through his intellect, independence, and warm grace."
Senate confirmations of Supreme Court justices have increasingly become political battles and this one will come amid the added heat of congressional election campaigns.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, appealed for civility. "I hope that senators on both sides of the aisle will make this process a thoughtful and civil discourse," Leahy said.
Looking toward those hearings, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said, "Americans can expect Senate Republicans to make a sustained and vigorous case for judicial restraint and the fundamental importance of an evenhanded reading of the law."
Stevens informed Obama in a one-paragraph letter addressed to "My dear Mr. President." It was delivered to the White House by court messenger at 10:30 a.m. EDT, two minutes before the court's public announcement. The news came on a day when the court wasn't in session.
White House counsel Bob Bauer telephoned the news to Obama on Air Force One, as he returned from a trip to Prague.
The leading candidates to replace Stevens are Solicitor General Elena Kagan, 49, and federal appellate Judges Merrick Garland, 57, in Washington and Diane Wood, 59, in Chicago.
Stevens' departure will not change the court's conservative-liberal split because Obama is certain to name a liberal-leaning replacement, as he did with his first nominee, Justice Sonia Sotomayor. But the new justice is not likely to be able to match Stevens' ability to marshal narrow majorities in big cases.
Stevens was able to draw the support of the court's swing votes, now-retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and Justice Anthony Kennedy, to rein in or block some Bush administration policies, including the detention of suspected terrorists following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, its tilt toward protecting businesses from some lawsuits and its refusal to act against global warming.
But after the arrival of Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, President George W. Bush's appointees, Stevens more often was among the four liberal justices in dissent.
Stevens' recent dissent in a major case involving campaign finance laws showed both the eloquence of his writing and, in his stumbling reading of his opinion in the courtroom, signs that his age might at long last be affecting him, though he remains an active tennis player and swimmer.
He is the court's last World War II veteran and that experience sometimes finds its way into his writings, recently in a reference to Tokyo Rose, the English-speaking Japanese radio announcer who addressed U.S. soldiers in the Pacific.
Stevens had a reputation as a bright and independent federal appeals court judge when Ford, acting on a recommendation by Attorney General Edward Levi, nominated him to the Supreme Court.
His friendly manner of questioning lawyers who appeared before the court could not hide Stevens' keen mind. His questions often zero in on the most telling weaknesses of a lawyer's argument and the case's practical effect on everyday people.
A pleasant, unassuming man, Stevens has been a prolific and lucid writer. For many years, he wrote more opinions each court term than any other justice.
Most justices let their law clerks write the first drafts of opinions, but Stevens has used his clerks as editors.
He'd write the first draft and submit it to the clerks for comment. "That's when the real fun begins," Stevens once told a visitor. "The give and take can get pretty fierce."
As a result, his opinions have reflected his personal writing style - a conversational one that contrasted sharply with the dry, dull efforts of some other justices.
He had said that one sign of his time to retire would be an inability to churn out those first drafts. But he insisted in recent days that he was still writing them.
A member of a prominent and wealthy Chicago family, Stevens spoke proudly of being a Cubs fan who was at Wrigley Field for the 1932 World Series game when Babe Ruth supposedly pointed to the spot where he would hit a home run. He met many celebrities of the day when they stayed at his family's hotel in Chicago, including aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart.
Stevens graduated from the University of Chicago. After serving in the Navy during World War II, he earned a law degree from Northwestern University, finishing first in his class. He later taught antitrust law at both schools.
In 1979, Stevens became only the second justice to divorce while serving on the court. Stevens and his first wife, Elizabeth Jane Sheeren, had four children. He later married a former Chicago neighbor, Maryan Mulholland Simon.
An avid bridge and tennis player, Stevens also is a licensed pilot. From autumn through spring, he and his wife routinely travel to his condominium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
"I lead an average life, just like anybody else," Stevens once told an acquaintance. "I play bridge, play tennis, try to play better golf. I'm very comfortable here."
Even in his late 80s, Stevens said he swam every day and continued playing tennis several times a week. He described reading legal briefs on the beach, noting his colleagues' jealousy when in court one day he opened a brief and grains of sand spilled out.
Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens retiring

Fertilizers dominated the agrochemicals market in 2016. Nitrogenous and phosphate fertilizers were most widely used due to their easy availability and low prices. However, the new trend of organic farming, which involves complete elimination of chemical-based fertilizers, has increased the demand for biofertilizers.
Get Full Report with TOC @ http://www.radiantinsights.com/research/agrochemicals-market
The global agrochemicals market is expected to reach USD 308.92 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Radiant Insights, Inc. The growing demand for crop protection chemicals, such as fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides, is expected to be the biggest driver of the agrochemicals industry over the forecast period.
Shrinking arable land due to rapid industrialization and population explosion has resulted in increased use of agrochemicals, such as fertilizers and plant growth regulators, further triggering the market growth. The growing demand for crops as animal fodder and fiber in the textile industry has also provided the necessary boost to the agrochemicals industry.
The demand for agrochemicals is expected to be the highest in Asia Pacific. The region is known for its agro-based countries such as India, Sri Lanka, and China, which are majorly dependent on agriculture and related industries for economic growth.

Whales, Wildlife & Glaciers
On this 8-day cruising adventure, spend a full day in Glacier Bay National Park, learn about the history and culture of Haines, view wildlife and explore Tongass National Forest. Your ship, the Safari Endeavour, carries a mere 84 like-minded guests and is equipped to relax, entertain and carry you to adventure.
Itinerary at a Glance
Day 1 Sitka, Alaska – Embarkation
Welcome aboard! It's time to relax and meet your crew. And as you sail away in Sitka Sound, what's also worthy of your precious time are the unmistakable views of Mt. Edgecumbe—a volcanic wonder in its own right.
Day 2 Krestof Sound / Nakwasina Sound
Shhh. If you don't say a word, you can hear the sounds of these Sounds. Dense Baranof Island forest to one side. Small, wild, lesser-known islands on the other. You might even spot black bears loping on shore although they're likely to catch a whiff of you first. And keep watch for neighboring sea lions and eagles, too. Your first day offers options to drop anchor and find adventure. Slip into a kayak. Nose along shore in a skiff. Or head into the Tongass National Forest on foot with your expedition team. The possibilities, endless. Reward yourself when you get back to the boat, the crew will have a treat waiting.
Day 3 Icy Strait
Nothing like kick starting the morning with on-deck yoga stretches and a chaser of exploration mode d'jour—motor, paddle, boots. It might be your toughest transition of the day. In and around Icy Strait, glide through giant bullwhip kelp (it can grow to over 100 feet long). Skiff to a rocky outcropping and watch sea lions play. Mud boots serve their purpose on a forest hike with your top-notch guides, who are sharp and have plenty to share about everything Alaska—animals, plants, and even geology. At the end of this unforgettable day, you've earned a soak in the hot tub.
Day 4 Glacier Bay National Park
Enter, the granddaddy of national parks—Glacier Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve. Once you round Point Gustavus, a park ranger joins you on board with a font of knowledge. The specialness of this place starts to sink in, as one of its truly privileged visitors. Sea lions jockey for position among puffins, black oystercatchers, and other sea birds at South Marble Island. Mountain goats climb and bears scrounge for food along the park's inland shores. Motor deeper into the park to Margerie and Grand Pacific, two tidewater glaciers on their downward march into the bay.
Day 5 Chichagof Island
Your course is set—wildlife-rich Alaskan wilderness. Head to the bridge or bow, and watch for whales and other creatures before tucking into Port Frederick or some other wild inlet. You're about to get a close up look. Muskeg under foot, head out on a bushwhacking hike in the Tongass National Forest or board a skiff, eyes wide for bears on shore.
Day 6 Lynn Canal / Captain's Choice
Not so much a canal, as a fjord—in fact, North America's deepest at over 2,000 feet. This once major route of Klondike gold rushers is now a busy inlet for humpbacks, orcas, Dall's porpoise, Steller sea lions, salmon, halibut, and mischievous river otters. And that's at water level. Look up, and you see bald eagles. Looking like golf balls in the tree tops when they're not soaring overhead. But it's not all looking and seeing today, your captain is on task to pick the prime spot for adventure. Feel the burn on a long paddling excursion. Search tide pools for microscopic life. Or, hike a shadow-filled forest.
Day 7 Haines, Alaska
The unofficial adventure capital of Alaska. Hard-charging or smell the flowers, pick your speed. In this bald eagle hotspot, you have choices to make. Hit the trailhead with your guides to the top of Chilkat Peninsula or the shores of Chilkat Inlet. Some of the best trails with the best views. Or, raft along the Chilkat River on a float trip through the bald eagle preserve. The local history—native culture, influence from European explorers, as a US Army outpost, and its gold rush past. Chilkat Tlingit members come aboard and share their tribe's cultural history and thousands-of-year-old legacy. Soak it up. Then see the sites on foot or by bike with free time in town. It's a big day. Tonight, celebrate your voyage with a Farewell Dinner and special photo recap from your expedition team.
Day 8 Juneau — Disembark
It's your last morn of freshly baked pastries. Eat 'em up and get in your farewells as you cruise into Juneau to transfer to the airport or begin your add-on overnight stay or land tour.

Ok, this is not one of these '10 Tips to get more Twitter Followers' posts that have been clogging the interwebs for the past few weeks. Think of it more as a wake up call.
Twitter and it's users have undergone massive changes since going mainstream in 2009. People have become maniacally obsessed with numbers. Everyone is desperately seeking as many followers as possible, clawing at any of these crazy 'sure fire' methods out there in an effort to reach that unreachable high.
Here are some suggestions from how I use Twitter, which I feel helps me get the most out of it, while offering something of value.
Don't follow back automatically.
Just because someone follows you doesn't mean you have to follow back. This 'courtesy followback' thing that has developed is horrible and has created a generation of people just obsessed with numbers, not gaining anything from the people they follow. I can't believe that there are people out there who will follow you and then unfollow you after a day if you don't return the favour. Come on, are you serious?
Here's the way I do it. If someone follows me, I always check out their profile and website if they have one. I base the decision to follow them on a variety of things such as their frequency of tweeting, content of tweets, whether I already know them, their location or whether they are in my industry. If I don't follow you back, don't take it personally. How could I follow everyone? I barely keep up with my current stream at the minute so I need to be selective.
I have literally been begged by some people for me to follow them. Begged! You know how desperate that sounds? The point of me following you is so that I get something out of your tweets, not to add 1 to your total.
Use DMs, Twitter isn't a chat room.
Nothing turns me off more than reading a string of tweets between two people. What am I getting out of '@name Thanks!' '@name Hey!'? Golden Rule: If more than two people would get something out of your tweet then use an @, if not then use a DM. I fully understand and appreciate that Twitter is an amazing networking tool but have a think about who will be seeing your tweets.
Use Via instead of RT.
There's so much Retweeting now that my mind has actually trained itself to ignore anything that begins with 'RT @name', certainly anything that has a string of 'RT@name RT@name RT@name'. If someone tweets a link that I feel needs to have some recognition then I tend to write a new tweet with my thoughts, the link, then 'via @name'. Come on, it's not hard to take 10 seconds to do. It's just laziness to Retweet other people all day and a personalised tweet has so much more value, both to you and the original linker.
Be valuable.
Add some value to your twitter stream by posting links that are genuinely interesting, reducing the amount of waffle and posting intelligent thoughts rather than just 'At work'. Granted, I'm no stranger to tweeting absolute rubbish, but try to be valuable in your tweeting generally, without being too noisy.
Space your Tweets.
There are, and always will be, extremely noisy people on Twitter. You will find it hard to imagine how they get anything done in between tweeting every 2 minutes. If you space out your tweets you will give people time to react, resulting in your tweets both gaining reactions and credibility. Another Golden Rule: If you emphasise everything, you emphasise nothing.
Never Use Auto DMs
I follow you because I have done the research and I'm genuinely interested in your tweets. I then get an auto DM spamming my inbox telling me to check out your site etc etc. This doesn't need to happen. I click unfollow almost without fail after an auto DM.
Don't use people
These tweeters who are desperate for numbers are trying to cash in on Twitter's potential the fast and easy way. There is a disgusting amount of 'Please RT this, Please Digg this, Please Float this, Please abuse-your-followers-and-spam-them-with-my-stuff-every-time-I-make-a-blog-post' going around. If you provide good content I will pimp it myself. Don't spam me!
Provide Good Content and they will come.
I think this is the most important aspect. Just use Twitter sensibly, post your intelligent thoughts, post links you think are cool or worthy, follow people who influence you and you will gain twitter followers. It won't happen overnight, but there are more important things in this world that that little number under your avatar.
Twitter is free to use whatever way you want so take my advice or ignore it. Follow me @paddydonnelly only if you want, but don't be pressured and controlled by this numbers game that has reared it's ugly head.

ResidentSwap.org works in four ways
Unfilled Residency Vacancies
Direct Swap
Consider the following common problem:
Solution: Charles and Frank could simply swap residency spots.
As soon as both Charles and Frank register, ResidentSwap.org will automatically detect this possible swap, and both will receive email alerts. This method works not only for switching geographical location, but also specialties. Each member's name and contact information is protected at all times by the use of anonymous email addresses, like firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Together Anywhere" Mode
This feature is designed specifically for couples. ResidentSwap can monitor for two openings within close geographical proximity to each other, anywhere in the country, and can send alerts when suitable spots open.
Consider the following situation: Bob is a 3rd year orthopedics resident in Boston. His fiancée, Colleen, is a 1st year pediatrics resident in Chicago. Both sign up on ResidentSwap.org and specify that they would like to be notified of spots within 40 miles of each other. Two weeks later, a 1st year pediatric spot opens in New York City. After another week, a 3rd year orthopedics spot opens in Westchester, NY (e.g. someone who wants to swap places with Bob). ResidentSwap.org knows that Westchester and New York City are within 40 miles of each other and notifies Bob and Colleen of this possible match.

39. That is the age that I am today- an age that always seemed so far off in the future.
As I enter this last year of my 30s, I look back in awe and gratitude on what was the most difficult, and ultimately the most wildly transformative decade of my life. I ended up nowhere near where I thought I would, and exactly where I was meant to be. I would not change a thing, not a single gut-wrenching moment.
Throughout this journey, I have had the most mind-blowing, life-altering experiences that cracked me wide open; singular moments that changed everything. I have met the most amazing, gifted souls, fellow seekers with hearts wide open, committed to making a difference in this world. I have been so fortunate to discover a practice, a way of life that cultivates peace, love and joy on this earth. And I have been so blessed and am so grateful for the beautiful friends, true brothers and sisters, that walk beside me on this path.
My life gets more and more rich as the years pass, and this last year of my 30s is going to be one for the record books. I fully intend to blow it out of the park. In humble gratitude to all of you who have influenced, supported, shared and celebrated in this journey with me.
