Stress Is A Silent Killer
, 09-06-2013 at 04:51 AM (91 Views)
It can be hard to keep a job with the economy today when there are a lot of businesses who are looking to cut their employees so they can hoard the profits. Work and family are causes of stress that can't be eliminated, so you must learn to deal with stress effectively. The tips below will help to eradicate stress from you life.
Try your hardest to maintain a healthy stress level. High stress levels are related to many health problems including cardiac problems, hypertension, ulcers, depression and even physical pain. Making sure that you have an adequate amount of sleep each night can reduce your stress levels and decrease the chances of you getting sick.
Call an old friend who you have not spoken to for a long time and catch up on where they are in life. This will bring back the memories that you had with them, which will make you feel great for the rest of the day. Rekindling an old friendship is a great way to eliminate stress.
Saying "no" more often will actually reduce the stress caused by giving in to things you really didn't want to be obligated to and keep you from having to do them! When you are already pressed for time throughout your day, so saying "no" to offers people make that you are not actually interested in will give you more control and definitely less stress!
When people are stressed they sometimes turn to drugs like alcohol to calm them down. These methods only provide temporary relief for those that use them. Using drugs, including alcohol, is never anything more than an extremely short-term solution. Drugs and alcohol will instead make your life even harder and add to the stress you are already dealing with.
Go out for a walk. Walking will force you to breath more deeply and improve your circulation. If you're able, walking outside is most enjoyable. However walking inside will work as well. Whichever you choose, just get up and move! It will help calm you and alleviate some stress.
If you are feeling as though your stress levels are becoming unmanageable or even just higher than normal, you should consider talking to a professional. A counselor who deals with stress will be able to give you many great tips, and will talk you through your most stressful moments and times. Sometimes this kind of help is indispensable.
Make sure that if you are staring at a computer at work for the majority of the day, to get up and stretch your body. Stretching is really important, as remaining stagnant for the greater part of the day can increase stress levels. Move around and chat with co-workers to improve how you feel.
Try giving a friend a call when you're feeling stressed out. Even if you don't talk about what's bothering you, just chatting with a friend for a little while can really relax you. It can rejuvenate you and give you the energy you need to tackle your problems with a clear head.
A great tip that can help you fight stress is to start practicing yoga. There are many varieties of yoga and they each have their own benefit. Most importantly you'll be able to think more clearly. Keep your stress levels down by doing a little bit of yoga each day.
When it comes to dealing with stress, one great way to manage it is by learning an instrument. This is important because this is a wonderfully creative way to express your emotions and clear your body of stress. Not only are you helping to relax yourself, but you may also provide good music to other people.
A great way to lower your stress level or beat it all together, is to find an activity or hobby that you enjoy. Whether it be a reading club, gardening, or bike riding, find something that will give you a place to get away from it all, and just have fun.
Mentally, you will need to do many things to ascertain that you do not face high levels of stress. One thing that you should practice is letting go of the past. Constantly thinking about something that makes you sad will only serve to add more stress to your life and should be avoided.
Create a peaceful saying. Many people use a positive saying or affirmation that they say repeatedly when they begin to feel stressed. By repeating the affirmation, you can silence the more critical thoughts you are having about the situation. Next time you are feeling stressed, try saying the affirmation ten times in a row.
Learning to play a musical instrument is a great way to relieve stress. Try to play some of the songs that you love on a guitar or the instrument of your choice. Learning something new is a great way to alleviate anxiety.
Smiling is a little technique that has a huge, positive impact on your stress-levels. Although most of us smile for a particularly pleasant reason, the simple act of doing so can help us to experience happiness. Try smiling the next time you find yourself in a stressful situation and notice how much better it makes you feel. You will feel calmer and less stressed if you can smile through the complicated times we all have.
If you are feeling stressed out, you may want to consider writing your thoughts down on paper. If you feel stressed frequently, buy yourself a journal. Getting your negative thoughts out on paper can help you feel better. Also, you know that paper will not judge you so you will feel free to say whatever you want to!

Buy yourself some shampoo, conditioner, lotion and body sprays that smell good. If you like how you smell throughout the day, you'll have better feelings about yourself. This can help you fight stress with all of your might. Therefore, purchase these lotions, body sprays and shampoos to better your mood.
As was stated in the beginning of the article, stress effects people from all walks a life. The key to controlling it is knowing how to do so. If you take the advice that was given to you in the above article, you may find that it is easy to block out stress.

Good Points
superb picture quality, especially via dvd.
Bad Points
With sound muted it buzzes slightly.
General Comments
Our Sony KV32FQ75 (S) TV set is now 18mths old. I had it replaced after 1 week due to buzzing noise. The replacement also buzzed. To be fair this is only annoying if watching teletext with the sound off. We bought this set for its picture quality and it is superb.

All Black and Crusader Israel Dagg is normally the one asked for pictures, but the fullback was the one bugging newly crowned New Zealand Women's Open golf champion Lydia Ko for a snap yesterday.
Ko had no idea who the famous rugby player was and was later heard saying to a New Zealand Golf staffer: "That guy that asked for a picture, he was good looking. Really good looking."
While Dagg might have been the apple of Ko's eye, the 15-year-old was the belle of the ball at Clearwater.
She held her cool in front of more that 1500 people on the final green to win her third professional tournament, by one shot.
When she holed her nervy one-metre putt on the last hole, Ko burst into tears and the gallery burst into applause.
She later revealed that she was just as nervous about having to speak in front of them as she had been about having to sink pressure putts on the final three holes.
Ko said the win rated higher for her then both the New South Wales and Canadian Open wins last year, and she was equally relieved and happy about her victory.
"I feel now, relaxed, because I was pretty nervous out there," she said, flanked by two trophies, one for the champion and one for being the top amateur.
"I think it was a pretty good day out there. I'm pretty excited to have my name on this trophy."
Ko is the first New Zealander to win the tournament.
How will she celebrate? "I think we're going to a Japanese restaurant for dinner. Obviously there will be no drinking."
Ko could be a double winner this week. The North Harbour schoolgirl is also a finalist in the New Zealand Sportswomen of the Year category at Thursday's Halberg Awards.
This win does not count towards that.
But if she carries on outplaying golfers with two and three times more experience, she could well feature in the future.

The Radiohead's set list form last night was even better than the first night. Why couldn't I have been there!? THEY PLAYED LIKE SPINNING PLATES, SUPERCOLLIDER AND TRUE LOVE WAITS!!!!
I had a dream last night that I was at Wayne Coyne's for a party he was having to celebrate his birthday. Thom Yorke was there but for some reason was trying to kill me. In the end, instead of dueling to the death we put our differences aside and he answered a bunch of questions I had about Radiohead…
What the fuck is wrong with me!??!?!? I don't have dreams like that usually, I SWEAR
College today was HARD
Had my first day of college today which was awesome. My lecturers are all very cool and the lectures are really really interesting :). For those of you that don't know, I'm studying Computer Science.
I've decided I want to get in to The Flaming Lips as they seem to be doing rather a lot of cools stuff this year and a lot of people who like the same bands as me love them. So, I need you help, what should I start with?
mwithbeautiful replied to your link: My Top 5 Artists (Week Ending 2011-9-18)
I'm almost certain I recommended St. Vincent last year..
I don't remember you doing so, but if you did, I would have already been listening to her. When I bought that big batch of CDs in 5th year, one of the albums in the first lot was Actor :)
Very exciting time to be a Radiohead fan, new Atoms For Peace album coming out soon, Radiohead tour in 2012 and most likely a new single with The Daily Mail and Staircase on it! It's weird that Thom would reveal all this at once after almost complete radio silence since The King Of Limbs' release
The Wilhelm Scream
Enough Thunder
Limit To Your Love
Radiohead, you guys better announce a European tour soon. I've decided I will pay any amount of money to see you guys play

Trend Alert: Heavily Lined Eyes
Heavily lined eyes have been a part of beauty for decades. The trend began in the 60's mod era, and we can see it recreated by Sienna Miller playing Edie Sedgwick in Factory Girl. Since then, it's made appearances in the 70's, in bright colors in the 80's and again in black in the 90's. Now in 2007, stars are wearing this look on the red carpet.
Lined eyes make a strong statement and are usually seen in shades of black, gray and slate. You can either create a cat eye with a winged tip, a smoky eye, a smudged rocker look or even create a dramatic and dark lower line with a hint of metallic like we saw for the Fall 2007 Luca Luca Show. Nowadays you can't go wrong with a sexy, heavy eye—and that's the bottom line.

I love eyeliner. However, I always have problems getting it on just right due to the shape of my eyes. Help!
love, love, love. i recommend liquid eyeliner because normal eyeliner is just too fiddly as the night wears on.
I love the look, but I feel like it isn't very "daytime summer." But I'm in California, and it's hot and sweaty and sunny... too much makeup is just too much makeup in the summer time. Great for evenings, clubbing, and fancy affairs!
I've been doing the heavy liquid eye liner since I was a freshman in h.s. I think it's very chic.
I absolutely LOVE this look but I can never seem to get it quite right on myself unless a friend does it for me. How about some tips Bella?
Lill McGill
I only wear heavily lined eyes if Im going out at night - but I do love the look (even if it takes me a few tries to get it right) ;)
I luvvv angies look of the sexy dark eyes and nude lip, whereas gwens look seems too bold in the eyes and lips, even if the red lips are her signature style.
I use eyeliner everyday, but just a light line. The dramatic heavy look is great for people in the spotlight, but I think it would look a little silly one someone just out doing errands or whatever.
I love a smokey eye, but there's a limit. Angelina looks great, Amy looks like she's trying too hard, like always. Keira Knightley is another one whose basic smokey eye and pale lip I love, but who takes it too far sometimes. There are times she looks like she was in a brawl and got socked in both sockets. It's a matter of where you put it. I have closed-in eyes, so you can't see most of the shadow so I can get away with more, but when your dark eyeshadow reaches the browbone and all the way down to your undereye circles, it's time to pare it back.
I can't wear heavy eyeliner because my eyes are already too round, and liner would just add too much. It doesnt look good upclose. I like light lined eyes.
im big on thick eye liner, when i dont wear it my eyes look boring, and the only "hot topic kids" who look stupid with thick eyeliner are ones who think they're brandon lee in "The Crow"
I wear this on a daily basis- my personal tip is that if you go heavy on the eyes, skip the lips. A nice gloss will be fine, but stay away from reds and plums- if you try to 'balance' the heavy eyes with heavy lip colour it generally is overkill.
MAC's dress khaki metallic liner is the perfect partner to classic black liquid liner.
davie k
I love liquid liner with kitty cat kicks at the side, it's my Saturday night regular... you won't see me dancing round my handbag without my eyes laiden with liquid liner! Bring on the Pin up fashion trend!!!
The Italian Jem
The best how-to is practice practice practice! Play around with thin lines, thick lines, or lines that get thicker as they pass to the outside of the eye. Also, you can smudge up the eyeliner line with a little bit of a sharpened kohl pencil if the line is too harsh for your taste. I love wearing eyeliner during the day, but I do play down other aspects of my makeup...
I love the look...wish I could pull it off but I end up looking like a jack@$$ every time I try it!

LOL... I hear he's jacking them up in practice and knocking them down but come game time they're rim clankers. That would suggest it's between the ears. It's like knowing and expecting you're going to hit the fairway/green and wishing and hoping it on the fairway/green. One way gets you 10 to 12 GIR's a round and the other gets you 1 to 2 and a lighter wallet.
Looks like he's wishing it in the hole. CC is a very good athlete but his stats say he isn't a good shooter and that's for 2 1/2 years now. I hope he can get it fixed but if memory serves he's had one good half all year.

WOONSOCKET ŌĆō The cityŌĆÖs Oct. 8 primary is no longer a factor in the City Council race after one of the 15 candidates vying for election to the seven-member panel, Jeffrey P. Belknap, filed a letter with the Board of Canvassers announcing his withdrawal.
Estelle Corriveau, manager of the Board of Canvassers, said the decision by Belknap will not remove his name from the list of 15 candidates for City Council on the Oct. 8 ballot, but it does eliminate him from moving forward to the Nov. 5 city election ballot.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō City voters will use 11 polling locations when voting in TuesdayŌĆÖs nonpartisan primary for local elected office, according to Estelle Corriveau, manager of the Board of Canvassers.
The ballot for the primary is highlighted by a four-candidate contest for mayor and will also include a listing of 15 candidates for City Council. The withdrawal of council candidate Jeffrey P. Belknap this week will send all 14 remaining council candidates onto the ballot for the Nov. 5 city election, she said.

Richards, the owner of WOON Radio and who has been involved in Autumnfest since the very first event at World War II Veterans Memorial State Park 35 years ago this year, helped with the selection of many other grand marshals over the years.
A stalemate in Congress that caused a government shutdown Tuesday for the first time in 17 years came as no surprise for Woonsocket auto mechanic Paul Morin.
ŌĆ£I stayed up and watched the entire thing and, personally, IŌĆÖm with the Republicans on this one because I believe Obamacare will hurt the country,ŌĆØ Morin says. ŌĆ£Of course IŌĆÖm upset that we have the first government shutdown in nearly two decades, but IŌĆÖm more upset the Democrats didnŌĆÖt do more to negotiate with the Republicans to avert this.ŌĆØ

Don't get me wrong, I love taking photos of landscapes, and I have been known to take the I'm taking photos of people, be it in a formal setting (like studio portraiture or wedding photos), a bit more relaxed (impromptu photo sessions with friends), or even if I'm sneaking around taking photos of complete strangers when I'm abroad somewhere.

New Zealanders appear to be finally shaking off their borrow and spend mentality with household savings growing at nearly five times the rate of household debt last year.
Reserve Bank figures show that the value of household financial assets, which includes money invested in bank deposits, shares, superannuation schemes and managed funds, increased by $8.3 billion last year, while household debt, which includes mortgages, credit card spending and personal loans, grew by just $1.75b.
The increase in savings and unwillingness to take on extra debt, combined with the ongoing resilience of house prices, should lead to a steady improvement in New Zealanders' overall net worth.
The turnaround is especially welcome because figures compiled by the Sunday Star-Times show that average net worth per household has increased by just 2.4 per cent during the difficult economic conditions of the past five years.
The Star-Times has taken the Reserve Bank's household assets and liabilities figures and divided them by the estimated number of households in the country to produce a household balance sheet.
This shows that cash assets - bank deposits, superannuation, shares and managed funds - averaged $132,996 per household in March this year, an increase of $11,709 (9.7 per cent) on March 2006, before the onset of the global financial crisis and subsequent economic downturn.
However, this was almost matched by a $10,523 (10.4 per cent) increase in average debt per household over the same period.
When a small improvement in house values over the same period is factored in, this increased overall net worth (the amount by which the value of assets exceeds liabilities) to an average $404,302 per household, a negligible 2.4 per cent gain on 2006.
This suggests we've held our noses above water, but haven't been able to significantly improve our overall wealth. Indeed, when effects of inflation are factored in, we've probably gone backwards.
The figures show some major changes in our saving and spending habits over the same period. The average amount of money invested in superannuation schemes has increased by 35.5 per cent, while the amount of money held in bank deposits and other fixed interest investments such as bonds has increased by more than 25 per cent.
However, this appears to have come at the expense of the sharemarket and managed funds which are less popular, with the investment in shares declining by 22.5 per cent per household and managed funds declining by 17.6 per cent.
On the debt front, mortgages increased by an average 12.3 per cent per household and credit card debt by a whopping 19.6 per cent.
Other debt, such as hire purchase and personal loans, showed a sharp drop, declining by an average $1471 per household.
Housing, however, remains the country's main store of wealth, with residential property accounting for an average 74 per cent of household assets.
That could leave people susceptible to any substantial fall in house prices or increase in mortgage interest rates, although there appears little likelihood of either in the current market.
The shift in saving and borrowing patterns could start to become ingrained behaviour with many people, according to Retirement Commissioner Diana Crossan.
She said people who lived through the Great Depression developed thrifty habits that stayed with them throughout their lives. Even when their financial situation improved considerably later in their lives, their attitude to spending money did not change.
"The generation that came through the Great Depression never got over it really," she said. "People have moved out of shares and managed funds and into cash [deposits] and that's a flight to safety. So it will take a long time for people to see a boom again."
Poor advice given by many financial advisers in the past, the collapse of many finance companies and investment schemes and volatility on the sharemarket could make it difficult for fund managers to win back the public's confidence.
The losses many investors suffered meant the public's perceptions of fund managers and advisers had often been tainted by the actions of others, and the sector had a long way to go to win back people's trust, Crossan said.
The drop in personal loans and hire purchase and the corresponding rise in credit card debt was worrying, Crossan said, because it suggested people were financing many purchases on their credit cards, when they may be able to get a cheaper interest rate to fund the same purchases by taking out a personal loan.

"Toss a rock, turn run and hide defense"? You said "Rockets".
Well, here's another "hit and run comment". Let us focus on just one of your comments criticizing Cassandra for defending the rights of the:"-Palestinians to launch Rockets into the schools, malls and homes of Innocent people".
Hyperbolically speaking, these actions sound vaguely familiar to a precious "freedom" (one which tragically seems to be frequently exercised in American "schools, malls and homes") we American Citizens hold dear. I'm going to assume "Innocent people" as stated means non-combatants, similar to the "Innocents" in American "schools, malls and homes".
The Tea Party states in its 15 Non-negotiable Core Beliefs (http://www.teaparty.org/about-us/) manifesto:
3. A strong military is essential.
5. Gun ownership is sacred.
Incidentally, it seems "non-negotiability" is also a Tea Party "Core Belief" (also held in common with another American party).
The Palestinians would argue that they consider themselves a "well regulated militia" (i.e. "strong military") defending themselves against a tyrannical foreign government, repelling sanctioned invasion from that government (settlements in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and in the Golan Heights) and to these ends they have the "sacred" right to bear arms. Sounds somewhat similar to our founding Father's rational in defense of our fledgling republic (remember,"don't tread on me"). You might then argue that Palestine is not a democracy; however, Hamas has won free elections, a tenet of democracy. Oops, unfortunately for the patriots of the Tea Party, identical to what happened in our democracy on November 6.
You may counter that the Palestinians are "terrorists". That's precisely what a loyalist to the British Crown would have stated during our "American Spring" in 1776. "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter".You may (doubtful) argue that a "rocket" is a far cry from "gun ownership". I agree, however, there are those in our society that would claim that is "splitting hairs"; in other words, there should be no restriction for a private citizen possessing a weapon more appropriate to theater of war ("rockets" anyone? - your second amendment right).
Don't you recognize your hypocrisy and inconsistency, and that of the Tea Party movement?
This is why someone should not write while drunk or just plain dumb. There is absolutely nothing that the founders of our country have in common with any terrorist, much less the palestinians.
I started to answer and realized its easier to just say your entire statement is factually incorrect and dishonest.
The founders never sought to annihilate England, or its people. They also never randomly killed innocent people.

Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani school girl, turns 16 years old today—an age she almost did not live to enjoy. Last October, Taliban gunmen shot Malala in retaliation for her speaking out on girls' education.

New York, 08 July 2013 – The Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Ms. Leila Zerrougui, strongly condemns the violent attack on a school and the targeted killing of students and their teachers over the weekend in Yobe State, in north-eastern Nigeria.
Timely and accurate monitoring and reporting on attacks on education is crucial for responding to attacks, for holding perpetrators accountable, and for seeking to prevent attacks from occurring in the first place.
In order to protect education from attack, field based practitioners, communities and government education actors in a number of affected countries have developed a range of measures and programs to reduce or prevent attacks on teachers, students and education institutions.
The use of education institutions by militaries and armed groups during situations of conflict and insecurity can disrupt or completely deny education in both the immediate and long terms.

The solar-powered craft is flying across the country. And insurance is there to help make it happen.
Talk to Swiss pilot Andre Borschberg and you are talking to someone in the league of a Thor Heyerdahl or a Roald Amundsen.
His countryman Amundsen discovered the South Pole in 1911 and led the first undisputed mission to the North Pole in 1926.
Borschberg is taking turns with his countryman, Bertrand Piccard, to pilot Solar Impulse, the first solar-powered plane to fly across the United States. The plane, which seats one, has two propellers and is self-powered on takeoff.
It left Mountain View, Calif. on May 3, and is expected to arrive in New York in early July. The plane flies at an average of 40 mph.
Solar Impulse weighs about as much as the average car and is powered by more than 11,500 solar cells on its 208 foot-wide wingspan and horizontal stabilizer. A key goal of the project is to demonstrate the viability of renewable energy sources.
The project is Piccard's brainchild, and has been in the works since 2003. Piccard, a psychiatrist and the chairman of Solar Impulse, is an established aviator and international figure, having captained the first around-the-world balloon flight in 1999 and having won the Chrysler Challenge, the first transatlantic balloon race in 1992.
Risk & Insurance®, aided by a satellite connection, spoke to Borschberg on June 14 as he flew from St. Louis to Cincinnati.
"Touch wood, cross my fingers, but the plane is doing great," Borschberg told us from the cockpit that afternoon, where he was experiencing mostly clear skies and good flying conditions above the Midwest.
Borschberg, co-founder and CEO of the Solar Impulse project, spoke of the great responsibility he feels being entrusted to the controls of the plane, the exhilaration that helps him endure flights of as many as 20 hours straight and the warm reception the Solar Impulse team has gotten here in the United States.
"People are so enthusiastic about a new project, new innovation, new ideas. For me that is maybe not a surprise but was really, really impressive," Borschberg said.
An international team of scientists is helping to bring this dream to life, the ultimate goal of which is an around-the-world flight in 2015.
The scientific effort is centered at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland, and more than 80 companies have made investments to give wings to the dream. Frankfurt-based Deutsche Bank, the Belgian chemical company Solvay S.A., Swiss watchmaker Omega SA and Swiss elevator maker Schindler are major partners.
This magazine's interest, of course, is that insurance also plays a part here. For not only is insurance coverage a modifier of behavior, it is also an enabler of dreams.
The sole insurance provider for the Solar Impulse project is Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, which is providing aircraft liability, hull and crew personal accident insurance. According to Swiss Re, the insured value of the plane is about $9.1 million.
The insurer said it plans to remain affiliated with the project and help it achieve its around-the-world goal.
Part of the draw in flying Solar Impulse across the United States was for the project team to experience varied weather conditions.
The Midwest delivered, unleashing a tornado that damaged the hangar set aside for the plane during its stop in St. Louis. The team used an inflatable hangar there instead.
"That was one of the goals of the flight here across America was to be exposed to different weather systems, different conditions, different from the ones experienced in Europe and North Africa," Borschberg said.
Despite hour after hour in a cramped cockpit, Borschberg's love for the project comes through, even via satellite communication.
"We are really passionate about the work that we are doing. We are passionate about flying and when you truly like what you are doing, you have a different kind of energy," Borschberg said.
"I think the other part, of course, is that flying is a wonderful way to look at the earth and see the beauty of it and so when you fly, you are captivated by that," Borschberg said.
"It can be by day, it can be by night. It can be at sunset, it can be at sunrise, so all of this makes this trip truly memorable," he said.

UPDATE 1-Libyan authorities demand release of reporters
- Tweet
- Share this
(Releads with release demand by NTC)
By Ali Shuaib
TRIPOLI, July 11 (Reuters) - Libyan authorities on Wednesday told the captors of two journalists kidnapped while covering the election for a national assembly to release them or face the use of force.
Since last year's uprising against Muammar Gaddafi, the interim government has struggled to impose its authority on a myriad of armed groups who refuse to lay down their weapons and often take the law into their own hands and detain people.
Reporter-cameraman Abdelqadir Fassouk and cameraman Yusuf Badi, who work for the Misrata-based Tobacts TV station, disappeared on Saturday near Bani Walid, one of the last Gaddafi strongholds to fall during last year's uprising
They had been covering Libya's landmark election for a 200-seat national assembly in the western town of Mizdah and were on their way back to their TV station when contact with them was lost.
"We urge the people of Bani Walid to release the two journalists held as a sign of good intention or else the government will be forced to impose its authority," National Transitional Council official spokesman Saleh Darhoub told reporters.
Salem Qanan, a deputy of NTC Chairman Mustafa Abdel Jalil, told Reuters the government would not be afraid to use force.
"By authority we mean police, army and all brigades that have joined the umbrella of the government's security forces," he said.
The stand-off underlines the tensions facing Libya nine months after the ousting and death of Gaddafi. While Bani Walid was a former Gaddafi stronghold, Misrata was one of the first cities to protest against his rule.
Local media said the captors of the two reporters demanded the release of detainees in Misrata in return for freeing them.
Libya's Al-Assama television quoted Bani Walid military chief Salim Al-Waar as saying he would guarantee the reporters' safety and return them to Misrata at some point in the future.
Militia fighters in Misrata had initially threatened to enter Bani Walid to forcibly liberate the two reporters. But Al-Assama quoted the local military chief in Misrata as saying he had ordered fighters to hold back from any such action for now. (Writing by Mark John; Editing by Janet Lawrence)

Saturday, 15 Dec 2012 07:27 AM
Addressing a stunned nation, President Barack Obama on Saturday grieved for the children and teachers massacred in Newtown, Conn., declaring that "every parent in America has a heart heavy with hurt."
Obama, addressing the tragedy for the second time since the violence erupted Friday, sympathized with the families of the dead and said he and his wife, Michelle, "are doing what I know every parent is doing — holding our children as close as we can and reminding them how much we love them."
Obama spoke Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address. Republicans, who typically also give an address, ceded their time so that Obama could speak for the nation.
The carnage was carried out by a man who killed his mother at home and then massacred 26 people, including 20 children, at an elementary school in Newtown where she taught, authorities say. The shooter committed suicide at the school.
"Our hearts are broken today," the president said. "We grieve for the families of those we lost. And we keep in our prayers the parents of those who survived. Because as blessed as they are to have their children home, they know that their child's innocence has been torn away far too early."
Obama's remarks were similar to ones he delivered emotionally from the White House briefing room Friday afternoon. Obama paused and wiped his eyes as he spoke Friday, just hours after the shootings.
He reiterated his appeal that, "regardless of the politics," it was time for the country to join together and "take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this." But neither he nor his aides have specified what action that might entail.
Obama has supported reinstating a ban on military-style assault weapons but has not pushed Congress for such legislation.
Gun-control activists, however, promptly renewed their demand for new gun laws. The most prominent was New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who declared pointedly in a statement: "Calling for 'meaningful action" is not enough. We need immediate action. We have heard all the rhetoric before."

Rahsaan Roland Kirk
Rahsaan Roland Kirk
Arguably the most exciting saxophone soloist in jazz history, Kirk was a post-modernist before that term even existed. Kirk played the continuum of jazz tradition as an instrument unto itself; he felt little compunction about mixing and matching elements from the music's history, and his concoctions usually seemed natural, if not inevitable. When discussing Kirk, a great deal of attention is always paid to his eccentricities -- playing several horns at once, making his own instruments, clowning on stage. However, Kirk was an immensely creative artist; perhaps no improvising saxophonist has ever possessed a more comprehensive technique -- one that covered every aspect of jazz, from Dixieland to free -- and perhaps no other jazz musician has ever been more spontaneously inventive. His skills in constructing a solo are of particular note. Kirk had the ability to pace, shape, and elevate his improvisations to an extraordinary degree. During any given Kirk solo, just at the point in the course of his performance when it appeared he could not raise the intensity level any higher, he always seemed able to turn it up yet another notch.

During one stormy night, I find limited protection by sleeping in a deteriorating World War II concrete army bunker, and while the tides are beautiful to watch on a peaceful day, the storm wakes me to the power and violence they can generate. I discover not only that I am drawn toward the geography of edges but am in sympathy with this margin of the world. When I finally decide to catch a train back home to interior suburban Long Island, it is not because I have been lonely or frightened living wild on the beach but because I have been taught by the landscape about the basic ebb-and-flow rhythm of life and I know it is time for me to return to my mother's house.

Dough Raising, Yahoo Acquires Bread
If you've been using the start-up Bread for the past two-and-half years, you're about to see some changes. A visit to its website will inform you it has been acquired by Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO). Now with Yahoo, according the the website, Bread "will be working on developing next-generation solutions for social and mobile publishers and advertisers."
Even if you weren't using Bread, it is worth understanding what the company did. Bread offered a service that shortened URLs, with a twist: making money from content sharing. Clicking on one of its shortened URLs prompted an ad. The ad would pop up on the screen for before taking the clicker to the final destination. The links were intended to be shared on platforms such as Facebook or Twitter. Ads could be for products or causes, and TechCrunch reports that Bread raised $3.5 million during its independent run. However, the site also adds that Bread had been promoting itself to companies in hopes of an acquisition.
According to AllThingsD, six of the company's employees will be joining Yahoo's advertising staff, and Bread will stop selling its services as a result. Bread is just the latest in a string of acquisitions for Yahoo since Marissa Mayer took over as chief executive. Previous companies taken in under the Yahoo brand include Tumblr, a blogging service, and more recently HitPost, an application developer that created apps to connect sports fans.

"I'm not afraid. I shall be hungry this summer, and I shall be cold this winter. Aren't they ridiculous, these ninnies of men, to think they can scare a girl! What! Scare? Oh, yes, much! Because you have finical poppies of mistresses who hide under the bed when you put on a big voice, forsooth! I ain't afraid of anything that I ain't!"
He was a boisterous, pallid, nimble, wide-awake, jeering, lad, with a vivacious but sickly air. He went and came, sang, played at hopscotch, scraped the gutters, stole a little, but, like cats and sparrows, gayly laughed when he was called a rogue, and got angry when called a thief. He had no shelter, no bread, no fire, no love; but he was merry because he was free.
"Our hearts quiver so, and human life is such a mystery that, even in the case of a civic murder, even in a murder for liberation, if there be such a thing, the remorse for having struck a man surpasses the joy of having served the human race."
- Combeferre, V.I.II
And there's nothing that anyone's giving
One more day standing about, what is it for?
One day less to be living.

Example: Communication in India
With GDP growth between seven and nine percent for the last several years, India is undergoing a dramatic transformation and is on its way to becoming an economic powerhouse. Within this environment, Epson is engaging in active communication with the Indian market to clarify and satisfy unique customer needs.
Incorporating Indian Culture
Epson India Pvt. Ltd. (EPIL), now located in Bangalore, has been an Epson sales site for over 20 years, progressively developing its presence during that time. Sales have been steadily increasing due to efforts in the sales channels and the reliability of the products themselves, but we realized that better direct customer communications was needed to increase visibility of the Epson brand.
At the beginning of 2010, Epson decided to utilize the knowledge and experience of its staff on the ground to develop a comprehensive strategy to expand our business in the increasingly-competitive Indian market and to increase our brand recognition so that customers would start asking for Epson by name. Based on these policies, EPIL focused its mid-range plan on a communication program aimed at finding the voice of the customer.
Brand Communication
Since 2010, the first year of the program, EPIL has been running promotional campaigns in busy locations to strengthen the Epson brand. With the catchphrase of "See Beyond the Usual," the campaign was designed to improve brand recognition and to hear the voice of the customer directly.
As part of the campaign, EPIL demonstrated products on mobile stages and was able to get unfiltered opinions from potential customers. Those ideas are now being used to improve our future products.
Sales Channel Communication
EPIL is strengthening programs for its sales channels to deepen their understanding of the features and quality of Epson's many product families. EPIL builds a relationship of trust with its sales channels by holding regular training sessions and through close communication.
Communication with Retailers
In line with the goals of Epson's communication program, EPIL strives to increase recognition of the Epson brand by providing support for multi-brand retailers. EPIL then certifies the best retailers as Epson Certified Channel Partners and strengthens collaboration with them through even closer communication.
As a result of these face-to-face communications, EPIL has maintained impressive sales growth since rolling out the program, and will continue to enhance the Epson brand in the Indian market by pinpointing customer needs, running active promotions, and engaging in various communication measures.
Mr. Sukumar from EPIL says, "With ambitious plans in place, a continued clear focus on the needs of customers in various segments is of course important, but it will be the careful execution of these multi-level communication activities that will grow the Epson brand in India to 2015 and beyond."

Payment Data to Acquire Assets of ERS
By NS Admin Published 30 September 2010The LoI is non-binding and is dependent upon both organizations completing satisfactory due diligence, the receipt of acceptable financing, and the completion of acceptable closing documents containing customary terms and conditions.
Michael Long, chairman and CEO of Payment Data Systems, said: "We are truly excited about the pending acquisition of ERS as they represent true leadership in the ACH return processing market. ERS is currently generating over $1,200,000 in annualized revenues and $300,000 in annualized EBITDA with minimal personnel.
"ERS offers a variety of world-class ACH processing solutions, including return check services, electronic check conversion, consolidated returns, check guarantee, and check verification. We believe ERS is a highly compatible acquisition by virtue of their strong presence in the ACH processing market which is underscored by their impressive customer list of recurring billers and Fortune 1000 merchants.
"These relationships will open up new revenue opportunities for the combined Payment Data Systems family of companies to engage in cross selling, acquisitions and creating a unified payments processing company, where merchants have one source for all of their payment services. Furthermore, this acquisition is expected to be highly accretive to our earnings, as well as being aligned with our sales and marketing strategies. The immediate overall financial effect of the transaction is anticipated to make Payment Data Systems a profitable company that generates cash of at least $200,000 per quarter."
Will the acquisition benefit Payment Data?
