For many recruiters, it's feast or famine. But that doesn't have to be your fate. Like a grubby-handed grade-schooler, the more fingerprints you can leave on your client, the more consistency you can enjoy in your cash flow.
Keeping pristine records, and expanding your line of services can help stave-off the hunger-pangs that come with the ebb and flow of life as an agency recruiter.
Keep Better Records
Track your conversations in email and on social media so you have more traction in your follow-up. Keeping your facts straight can give you more leverage in your relationship with a client.
"We have a record of every email, so we can review with the client, 'Here's when you submitted the job order, here is where we changed the job description per your specifications.' It is instrumental in running our firm," says Dallas Otterlee, an executive recruiter with Pinnacle Search Partners.
Whether you need to resolve a dispute with a client, or prove your value to a corporation, tracking client correspondence with your ATS puts you at an advantage.
Don't Just Fill Jobs
Don't just fill jobs. Become a consultant. Your clients probably don't use an agency to fill every single opening, and recruiting for their business is only a fraction of their responsibility. Use your expertise at finding the best talent to help your client fill general openings at their company. Recommend a great tool for their HR generalist, consult with them on managing their hiring process. Become a resource they'll automatically turn to even when they're not looking for a new executive.
The more ways you can fold yourself into your client's business, the more business will come through your door.

Great post.
Showing a client you are well organized and on top of your game all around is crucial. They also need to feel they are in the center of your radar at all times.

William Nicholson Movies
A writer of distinctively British sensibilities who possesses the keen ability to portray sympathetic and eccentric characters in extraordinary situations, screenwriter/director William Nicholson directed numerous documentaries for the BBC before moving into feature film work. It was likely during this time that Nicholson developed and refined his noted humanistic approach and his affection towards stories dealing with humans' constant search for meaning in life and nature.
Finding success early on with Shadowlands (1985), the true-life tale of the moving relationship between English author C.S. Lewis and American poet Joy Gresham, Nicholson later brought the story to stage before reworking the film for director Richard Attenborough in 1993 (this time garnering an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay). Nicholson continued writing dramatic biographical screenplays, with subjects ranging from the consequences of abortion A Private Matter (1992) to the exploration of the quest for cultural identity Grey Owl (1999), while also exploring similarly themed issues in fictional form with his screenplays for Sweet As You Are (1987) and Nell (1994).
In 1997, Williamson stepped into the director's chair with the romantic period drama Firelight. A return to the relationship-themed territory of Shadowlands, Firelight was a melodramatic meditation on the themes of love and motherhood that involved the director more intimately with the characters he usually only wrote about. After Grey Owl, Nicholson once again exercised his pen, this time on a grand scale, with Ridley Scott's sword-and-sandal epic Gladiator. Though he had explored similar themes in his screenplay for First Night (1995), it was Gladiator that earned the writer his second Oscar nomination (along with screenplay collaborators John Logan and David Franzoni).

Academy-award winning director Tom Hooper's adaptation of the beloved musical Les Miserables makes no major changes to the original's plot. The story follows former prisoner Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), who, after being released from the watchful eye of police officer Javert (Russell Crowe), is unable to find work because of his status as an ex-convict. He eventually steals from a local church, but when apprehended, the priest claims that Valjean was given the valuables. This triggers a change in Valjean, and he constructs a new identity for himself as a pillar of society and a local businessman. Years later, he adopts a young girl named Cosette, whose mother Fantine (Anne Hathaway), a former employee of his, became a prostitute and died a horrible death in the gutters after being fired. As the years progress and the French Revolution begins to foment, a grown Cosette (Amanda Seyfried) falls for a passionate revolutionary named Marius (Eddie Redmayne), while Javert begins to close in again on Valjean's secret past. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

A man robbed of his name and his dignity strives to win them back, and gain the freedom of his people, in this epic historical drama from director Ridley Scott. In the year 180, the death of emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) throws the Roman Empire into chaos. Maximus (Russell Crowe) is one of the Roman army's most capable and trusted generals and a key advisor to the emperor. As Marcus' devious son Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) ascends to the throne, Maximus is set to be executed. He escapes, but is captured by slave traders. Renamed Spaniard and forced to become a gladiator, Maximus must battle to the death with other men for the amusement of paying audiences. His battle skills serve him well, and he becomes one of the most famous and admired men to fight in the Colosseum. Determined to avenge himself against the man who took away his freedom and laid waste to his family, Maximus believes that he can use his fame and skill in the ring to avenge the loss of his family and former glory. As the gladiator begins to challenge his rule, Commodus decides to put his own fighting mettle to the test by squaring off with Maximus in a battle to the death. Gladiator also features Derek Jacobi, Connie Nielsen, Djimon Hounsou, and Oliver Reed, who died of a heart attack midway through production. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Archibald Belaney was a British man who grew up fascinated with Native American culture -- so much so that in the early 1900s he left the United Kingdom for Canada, where he reinvented himself as Archie Grey Owl and lived in the wild as a North American Indian trapper. He eventually became an environmental activist after renouncing trapping and hunting. Grey Owl is based on Belaney's true story, starring Pierce Brosnan in the title role. In 1934, Archie was living a largely solitary life when he met a young woman named Anahareo (Annie Galipeau), an Ojibway Indian nicknamed Pony. Pony is fascinated by Archie, largely because she wants to know about her people's heritage. Her father, Jim (Graham Greene), is a businessman who wears a suit to work and has little concern for his history; in Archie, Pony sees a link to her past that she can't find in her family. Archie has little use for Pony at first, but in time the two begin to bond, and it's Pony who convinces Archie to give up trapping and work to protect animals. She also encourages Archie to write a book about wilderness life in Canada. The book becomes a huge success and makes Archie something of a celebrity, but with recognition come nagging questions about Archie's true heritage. (In reality, Archie Grey Owl's true idenity did not become public knowledge until after his death.) ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A woman is torn by both romantic and maternal love in this period romantic drama set in the 1830s. Elisabeth (Sophie Marceau), a Swiss governess, is the beautiful daughter of a once-prosperous landowner who has fallen deeply into debt. Charles Godwin (Stephen Dillane) is a prominent British aristocrat whose wife has suffered a crippling accident; doomed to spend the rest of her life in a semi-comatose state, she cannot bear Charles the child he so desperately needs. So Charles strikes an agreement with Elisabeth; she will conceive a child with him and hand it over after it is born in exchange for him paying off her father's debts. Elisabeth and Charles set aside three nights to make a baby, and while the matter is supposed to be purely functional and not romantic, Elisabeth finds it difficult to feel that way at the end of the third evening. She is heartbroken when she has to give up the child, and her obsession with the daughter she gave away is reflected in her journals and sketchbooks. Seven years later, Elisabeth discovers the whereabouts of Charles and their daughter, Louisa (Dominique Belcourt); when she learns they need a governess, she is hired for the position by Charles's sister-in-law Constance (Lia Williams), who is unaware that Elisabeth is Louisa's birth mother. When Charles discovers that Elisabeth is the new governess, he is furious, but he eventually takes pity on her and allows her to stay with the child for one month. However, before long, Elisabeth's attraction to Charles resurfaces, and their clandestine romance forces a number difficult questions. Firelight marked the directorial debut of noted screenwriter William Nicholson. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is always ripe for retelling. In this rendition, the sexy Richard Gere is Sir Lancelot, threatening to supersede the aging King Arthur (Sean Connery) by winning the love of his young wife Guinivere (Julia Ormond). This update of the age-old legend succeeds on the strength of Gere's happy-go-lucky sex appeal, Ormond's gorgeous period costuming, and Connery's unbeatable wry nobility. The script focuses on the triangle of the three principals: the older man's reluctance to relinquish his love and power to the younger man destined to supplant him; the young woman torn between her loyalty to her aged husband and her love for his rival; the young man balancing the demands of loyalty to his sovereign with the rewards of true love. This beautiful production forgoes the legend's usual elements of magic and fantasy, leaving Merlin the Magician completely out of the picture. ~ Laura Abraham, Rovi

A woman is brought to civilization after spending her life in the wilds in this drama. Dr. Jerome Lovell (Liam Neeson) happens upon a shack deep in the woods, where he discovers a strange woman who appears to be about 30, speaking an incomprehensible language. The woman, named Nell (Jodie Foster), was raised in the cabin by her late mother, who was incapacitated by strokes (Nell speaks English, but distorted -- as it was by her mother's infirmities); with the exception of her twin sister, who died as a child, Nell has had contact with no other human being. Lovell brings in a psychiatrist, Dr. Paula Olsen (Natasha Richardson) to help determine what, if anything, should be done for Nell; Olsen thinks that Nell should be committed to an institution, but Lovell demands a period of unobtrusive observation instead. When it becomes obvious that the courts will demand that Nell be hospitalized for psychiatric observation, Lovell and Olsen take it upon themselves to gently introduce Nell to the outside world. Jodie Foster's performance in Nell earned her an Academy Award nomination as Best Actress, and she won the Screen Actor's Guild award in that category. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This lavishly mounted adaptation of the play by William Nicholson tells the true story of the doomed love affair between novelist and noted Christian scholar C.S. Lewis and a Jewish-American poet. Anthony Hopkins stars as C.S. "Jack" Lewis, an Oxford professor and successful author of the Chronicles of Narnia series of children's fantasy novels. A confirmed bachelor, Jack's existence is an inward life of the mind. Somewhat detached from the world, his only social outlet is evenings out at a local pub discussing philosophy and religion with his fellow lecturers. Jack has been corresponding with a bluntly intelligent American woman, Joy Gresham (Debra Winger), who arrives to visit him, with her young son Douglas (Joseph Mazzello) in tow. She tells Jack that she has actually fled from an abusive marriage and plans to divorce, and Jack astonishes friends and family by agreeing to a platonic marriage with Joy so that she can obtain British citizenship. As their friendship deepens and Joy discovers that she has a terminal illness, the relationship between Joy and Jack becomes a genuine romance, and their marriage turns into a real commitment. Shadowlands (1993) had previously been filmed as a well-regarded British television movie in 1985 starring Joss Ackland as Lewis. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Whoopi Goldberg stars in this musical take on the South African struggles against Apartheid in the mid-1970s, during the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela. An adaptation of Mbongeni Ngema's popular musical, which ran on Broadway from 1988 to 1989, Sarafina! recounts the political coming of age of the title character, a high school girl involved in the Soweto student protests of 1976. At first just a petulant bundle of energy, more interested in boys than civil rights, Sarafina (Leleti Khumalo) learns of the Afrikaaner oppression through the underground lectures of her teacher, Mary Masembuko (Goldberg). Sarafina's mother, who works as a servant in a white household and never sees her children, urges Sarafina to toe the line. But she can no longer turn a blind eye when the government imprisons her teacher and slaughters her would-be boyfriend during an arson protest. Incited to rebellion, the students kill a crooked black constable, leaving Sarafina to wrestle with their decision to use violence against the government's strictures. Ever tightening its grip, the ruling regime would kill 575 blacks over eight months in an attempt to quell the civil unrest. The sober subject matter is leavened by Ngema's jubilant songs and Michael Peters' electric choreography. ~ Derek Armstrong, Rovi

Grace Gardner (Lee Remick) is a money-minded television manager who hires out-of-work air personality James Marriner (Dirk Bogarde) to broadcast a religious program. When the show is broadcast in England, the country feels the Armageddon paranoia that paralyzes the religious right and their conservative followers of fickle faith. James tries to distance himself from the show when the ultra-right wing theme becomes too much for his insensitive stomach to handle. The film touches upon British concerns that programs from the United States are undermining British television shows. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Jeff Goldblum stars as American scientist Jim Watson, and Tim Pigott-Smith is Britain's Francis Crick. Together, the non-traditional scientists raced to find the structure of the DNA molecule before their contemporaries did the same. The film was based on the book of the same name by James Watson. ~ Bernadette McCallion, Rovi

A real-life incident involving two major literary figures was dramatized for British television in 1985 under the title Shadowlands. Joss Ackland stars as English author C.S. Lewis, who in 1950 begins a correspondence with American poet Joy Gresham, here played by Claire Bloom. Though Lewis is a confirmed bachelor and Gresham is a wife and mother, their long-distance friendship blossoms into something deeper. In 1952, Gresham, newly divorced, moves to England to be nearer Lewis, who has no inclination to marry. A spiritual crisis profoundly affects the relationship--and completely alters Lewis' outlook on life. Shadowlands premiered in America over PBS on October 29, 1986; screenwriter William Nicholson later adapted his script into a play, which was filmed by director Richard Attenborough in 1993, with Anthony Hopkins as Lewis and Debra Winger as Gresham. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Do you welcome this question or dread it? Are you prepared to answer it for different audiences? Do you say the same thing to the banker you are asking for a loan as you do when making your introduction at a networking event or at a neighbor's backyard party?
Step one of any marketing program is a clear definition of the product or service you are selling. It is often the first question in a business plan as well. What are we offering to the public.
For a start up or new business venture, it will be necessary to determine who are the potential customers or clients for this product or service and do they really want or need the what is being offered. Surveys are a valuable tool for determining the viability of a product or service concept and how to position it in the market. We will discuss using surveys in a future article.
- The answer to "what business…" starts with the general category; i.e. the jewelry business, construction, auto service, consulting, chiropractor, women's shoes, hunting equipment.
- The next step narrows that a bit to better define the market. Is it "I own High Design Jewelry store where we retail the finest high end gold and diamond jewelry" or "I create one-of-a-kind affordable jewelry which I sell on the internet"? "I build high end custom homes" or "I'm in construction and specialize in residential remodels" or "My company builds high-rise condos". "My business is a full service auto maintenance shop here in the hometown area". "I consult with high tech businesses to develop strategic partnerships". "I'm a chiropractor specializing in treating athletes".
- This definition and statement will be enough for most purposes. You can go one step further so that your statement of the business you are in becomes a marketing tool. Here is where we add what problem you solve for people and how they benefit from your product or service. "I create one-of-a-kind affordable jewelry sold on the internet that helps women create a high-end look on an ordinary budget". "Maxi-Builders build high-end custom homes with emphasis on the special needs of the most discriminating home-owners for flexibility and attention to detail during construction." "Joe's Car Shop provides a full range of auto services with the goal of being the most trusted shop in the area so that we have long term relationships with our customers." It includes what sets you apart from other similar businesses. This isn't the version that you would use at the backyard party, but is fully expected at the networking breakfast.
- Work out exactly the definition of your product or service. Go over this with your marketing advisor and several other business people you trust to give you honest feedback. Is it clear to anyone exactly what you are offering? Is it narrowed down enough to give your business focus and allow your prospects to answer if you might be the one for them?
- Practice answering the question "what business are you in?" for several different situations until you can do it conversationally at the backyard party or you can do it professionally for the banker or you can do it promotionally for the networking event.
Need feedback on your definition of the product or service you are providing so that you can focus your marketing? Two Old Pros offers a complementary consultation where we can address this issue.

"My mother used to call this apple cider weather."
I had been doing my best to pretend I was unaffected by Jason's presence, but I wasn't. He felt warm, even the distance we walked apart, like he was a hot presence in a world of freezing cold eventualities.
"I know what apples are. We get them sometimes. What is apple cider? Some kind of drink?"
"Breaks my heart that you live in a world with no apple cider." The grimace on his face was a huge indication then he meant what he said. He really was…beautiful, in a way most guys, or even grown men, were not.
Jason seemed to light up from the inside out. Maybe it came from actually being outside all the time but his skin glowed with freshness. Or maybe it was a Werewolf thing, a monster thing.
"Do you do this all the time? Take on Warriors and not tell them why you're holding them prisoner?"
He raised an eyebrow, his lips quirking into a smile before falling straight again. "Do you feel like a prisoner?"
"Do you answer every question with a question?"
"No." He shook his head. "I did promise you answers. But first, tell me if you feel better out here? Less likely to hurl away all that fine turkey?"
I stopped walking and turned to look at him. "I feel much better, thank you." I got my first look at the house we had just exited. I covered my mouth with my hand to suppress my gasp and I looked again. It wasn't really a house—it was a giant tent—standing in front of a dozen giant tents just like it. I could see from where I stood how it was built. The walls were solid, but only because large beams in the ground held them up. I hadn't thought to feel the walls earlier. Why would I? They had looked like concrete, but they weren't, they were actually cloth and something else—vinyl, maybe?
"You guys are prepared to leave at any time, aren't you?"
"We're nomadic. We never stay anywhere very long."
I couldn't be sure, but I thought I heard sadness in his voice. I could ask him about it. He'd put his emotion right out there for me to hear it, which begged the question: just how well did I want to know Jason?
At some point, I was going to turn a corner with this Werewolf where I was going to start thinking of him as a living, breathing, cognizant being whose head I wouldn't be able to cut off. I wasn't sure I wanted to do that.

"Would you rather stay put?" I spoke the words.
"Maybe. See, I can still remember what it was like, to have a house that was a home, to have neighbors, to go to school."

I find that white-fleshed sweet potatoes are delicious (this is coming essentially from a monk, mind you) when cut about 3/4cm thick and microwaved for about 8 minutes per plate. This is pretty much the only way I eat tubers. Have to find the right variety, though. They're usually called Japanese or Oriental sweet potatoes. I've tried this with standard potatoes and even I thought it was a bit too bland.
They look very healthy to:

Am I the only one who thinks potatoes are a total waste of calories? I'd much rather down some green veggies or meat... even dousing them with butter can't make up for the blah-ness!
Answer by JoanneLikesFood 52 · Nov 14 '11 at 09:45 AM
For mash, just beat in a couple of egg yolks. I do this with all root veg.
Answer by Jo T 332 · Nov 14 '11 at 04:24 AM
My husband eats them with salsa. Are potatoes paleo friendly? I thought they were in the Avoid camp.
Answer by Olivia 7253 · Nov 14 '11 at 04:16 AM
Salt them.
I also eat potatoes with low-fat condiments like tomato paste, or I'll mash up roasted garlic and basil (much lower fat than pesto) or other herbs to put on top. Or crack a soft-boiled egg over them. I actually prefer all those things to eating potatoes with butter (which I find makes it too easy to overeat.)
Answer by cliff 1 13597 · Nov 14 '11 at 04:19 AM
pasta sauce makes a good condiment for potatoes. I've made a pretty tasty potato salad with avocado, olive oil, jalapeno, lemon juice and salt
Answer by Jules 1 42 · Nov 14 '11 at 02:52 PM
I'll second Comment's duck fat suggestion! If you like sweet potatoes, those are great with coconut oil.

I'm a new resident in Cumberland County and I'm writing to express my concern about the local view against the American Pit Bull Terrier dog breed. I understand others' opinions about the breed, but I feel the breed is misunderstood.
I've been a pit bull owner for about two years and I could not be happier with my dog Saddie. She has never been aggressive toward others and enjoys having children play with her. The breed should not be judged because of owners who abuse them. I think any breed can be aggressive because of mistreatment by their owners. The owners of pit bulls who treat them as part of the family should speak out and let others know how wonderful they can be.
I write this letter to give others a more positive point of view, rather than always hearing the negative things about the breed. I hope it helps change opinions. Maybe more individuals will look at how amazing pit bulls can be.
Many crimes, robberies and murders are done by irresponsible people who have broken into a residence and stolen a weapon. They will never apply for a background check or legally try to purchase a firearm.
Once a person has received a clear background check, before he can purchase a weapon, he should be required to show proof of owning an approved, lockable storage safe. Applicants should show proof of attending an approved course on gun safety in which they would be instructed to never store ammunition with the firearm, or store a loaded weapon.
I have heard many times, "I use my gun for hunting." I guess that only about 10 percent of them have hunting licenses, which they should be required to have and renew yearly. Think of the revenue from this and what it could accomplish toward crime control.
If gun owners did not follow these rules, and their guns were stolen during a break-in, then used to commit a crime, the owner should be held accountable, for he or she is just as irresponsible as the thief.
These are the thoughts of one person. What are yours? Most crimes are done with stolen weapons.

Vice President for Business and Fiscal Affairs
Wright State University defines a capital project as the constructing, renovating, updating, or changing of physical features of the interior and/or exterior on university property. It is the policy of Wright State University that capital projects be approved by the university Provost and completed in accordance with all applicable state laws and building codes and will align with the university's mission.
Wright State University recognizes and strives to optimize life-cycle costs for maintaining infrastructure and campus facilities while improving the overall university campus, and will therefore utilize appropriated funds responsibly and in accordance with the best interests of the stakeholders.
Each capital project is unique and will be individualized in many ways. The following generalized roles and responsibilities are applicable to most capital projects. For a more detailed scope of responsibilities, please refer to the Capital Projects Roles and Responsibilities descriptions available through the Facilities Planning and Development website.
Capital projects have the potential to impact part or all of the campus and its stakeholders. With this understanding, the campus community will be notified of and engaged in the project planning process beginning in its earliest stages.
Wright State University has adopted uniform design standards to maintain consistency and aid stakeholders with respect to capital improvements. The design standards document can be accessed at the FPD website. Exceptions to established standards must be requested by the PS from the Provost.
The success of capital projects is dependent on clear, two-way communication among all constituents from the inception to completion of the project, with consideration of academic and non-academic calendars and scheduled events. Initiation of capital projects will be communicated through submission of the Project Initiation Form. Following approval, basic project information will be posted to the FPD website, including scope and purpose, Architect/Engineering firm, contracts, and estimated completion date. Project meeting minutes will be disseminated to the PS/PL for review and feedback. Information and materials for the project website link and other project communication tools will be collaboratively generated and provided to the PS/PL who will serve as the communication hub throughout the process, providing input to FPD and EC, and share updated project information to stakeholders on progress.
In the event of conflicts arising during the capital project process, the PS, as the budgetary authority for the project, will hear supporting arguments and view documentation from the PL and a representative from FPD or EC to determine the course of action. Should disagreement continue where the potential exists for significant negative impacts on the campus community, the Provost will hear arguments, view documentation, and serve as final authority over all university capital project and space management decisions.

Arsenic trioxide is the inorganic compound with the formula As
3. This commercially important oxide of arsenic is the main precursor to other arsenic compounds, including organoarsenic compounds. Approximately 50,000 tonnes are produced annually.[3] Many applications are controversial given the high toxicity of arsenic compounds.
Production and occurrence[edit]
Arsenic trioxide can be generated via routine processing of arsenic compounds including the oxidation (combustion) of arsenic and arsenic-containing minerals in air. Illustrative is the roasting of orpiment, a typical arsenic sulfide ore.
- 2 As
2 → 2 As
Most arsenic oxide is, however, obtained as a volatile by-product of the processing of other ores. For example, arsenopyrite, a common impurity in gold- and copper-containing ores, liberates arsenic trioxide upon heating in air. The processing of such minerals has led to numerous cases of poisonings.[4] Only in China are arsenic ores intentionally mined.[3]
In the laboratory, it is prepared by hydrolysis of arsenic trichloride:[5]
- 2 AsCl3 + 3 H2O → As2O3 + 6 HCl
3 occurs naturally as two minerals, arsenolite (cubic) and claudetite (monoclinic). Both are relatively rare secondary minerals found in oxidation zones of As-rich ore deposits.
Properties and reactions[edit]
Arsenic trioxide is an amphoteric oxide, and its aqueous solutions are weakly acidic. Thus, it dissolves readily in alkaline solutions to give arsenites. It is less soluble in acids, although it will dissolve in hydrochloric acid.
With anhydrous HF and HCl, it gives AsF3 and the trichloride:[5]
- As2O3 + 6 HX → 2 AsX3 + 3 H2O (X = F, Cl)
Only with strong oxidizing agents such as ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and nitric acid does it yield arsenic pentoxide, As
5 or its corresponding acid:[5]
- 2 HNO3 + As2O3 + 2 H2O → 2 H3AsO4 + N2O3
In terms of its resistance to oxidation, arsenic trioxide differs from phosphorus trioxide, which readily combusts to phosphorus pentoxide.
Reduction gives elemental arsenic or arsine (AsH
3) depending on conditions:[5]
- As2O3 + 6 Zn + 12 HNO3 → 2 AsH3 + 6 Zn(NO3)2 + 3 H2O
This reaction is used in the Marsh test.
In the liquid and gas phase below 800 °C, arsenic trioxide has the formula As
6 and is isostructural with P
6. Above 800 °C As
6 significantly dissociates into molecular As
3, which adopts the same structure as N
3. Three forms (polymorphs) are known in the solid state: cubic As
6, containing molecular As
6, and two related polymeric forms. The polymers, which both crystallize as monoclinic crystals, feature sheets of pyramidal AsO
3 units that share O atoms.[6]

(monoclinic) |
(monoclinic) |
Large scale applications include its use as a precursor to forestry products, in colorless glass production, and in electronics.[3] Being the main compound of arsenic, the trioxide is the precursor to elemental arsenic, arsenic alloys, and arsenide semiconductors. Organoarsenic compounds, e.g. feed additives (Roxarsone) and pharmaceuticals (Neosalvarsan), are derived from arsenic trioxide. Bulk arsenic-based compounds sodium arsenite and sodium cacodylate are derived from the trioxide.
A variety of applications exploit arsenic's toxicity, including the use of the oxide as a wood preservative. Copper arsenates, which are derived from arsenic trioxide, are used on a large scale as a wood preservative in the US and Malaysia, but such materials are banned in many parts of the world. This practice remains controversial.[3] In combination with copper(II) acetate arsenic trioxide gives the vibrant pigment known as paris green used in paints and as a rodenticide. This application has been discontinued.
Medical applications[edit]
Despite the well known toxicity of arsenic, arsenic trioxide has long been of biomedical interest, dating to traditional Chinese medicine, where it is known as Pi Shuang and is still used to treat cancer and other conditions,[7] and to homeopathy, where it is called arsenicum album. Some discredited patent medicines, e.g., Fowler's solution, contained derivatives of arsenic oxide.[8] Arsenic trioxide under the trade name Trisenox (manufacturer: Cephalon) is a chemotheraputic agent of idiopathic function used to treat leukemia that is unresponsive to "first line" agents. It is suspected that arsenic trioxide induces cancer cells to undergo apoptosis. Due to the toxic nature of arsenic, this drug carries significant risks. Use as a cytostatic in the treatment of refractory promyelocytic (M3) subtype of acute myeloid leukemia.[9][10] The combination therapy of arsenic trioxide and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of certain leukemias.[11] University of Hong Kong developed a liquid form of arsenic trioxide that can be administered orally.[12]
Arsenic trioxide also appears to be a promising therapeutic agent for autoimmune diseases.[13]
The enzyme thioredoxin reductase has recently been identified as a target for arsenic trioxide.[14]
Arsenic trioxide in combination with ascorbic acid and buthionine sulfoxide decrease intracellular glutathione to a greater extent, and render malignant cells more sensitive to apoptosis. Arsenic trioxide induced apoptosis was not enhanced by ascorbic acid in normal cells, suggesting that this combination may be selectively toxic to some malignant cells.[15]
Arsenic trioxide is readily absorbed by the digestive system: toxic effects are also well known upon inhalation or upon skin contact. Elimination is rapid at first (half-life of 1–2 days), by methylation to monomethylarsonic acid and dimethylarsonic acid, and excretion in the urine, but a certain amount (30–40% in the case of repeated exposure) is incorporated into the bones, muscles, skin, hair and nails (all tissues rich in keratin) and eliminated over a period of weeks or months.
The first symptoms of acute arsenic poisoning by ingestion are digestive problems: vomiting, abdominal pains, diarrhea often accompanied by bleeding. Sub-lethal doses can lead to convulsions, cardiovascular problems, inflammation of the liver and kidneys and abnormalities in the coagulation of the blood. These are followed by the appearance of characteristic white lines (Mees stripes) on the nails and by hair loss. Lower doses lead to liver and kidney problems and to changes in the pigmentation of the skin. Even dilute solutions of arsenic trioxide are dangerous on contact with the eyes.
The poisonous properties are legendary and the subject of an extensive literature.[16][17][18]
Chronic arsenic poisoning is known as arsenicosis. This disorder affects workers in smelters, in populations whose drinking water contains high levels of arsenic (0.3–0.4 ppm), and in patients treated for long periods with arsenic-based pharmaceuticals. Similarly, studies on workers exposed in copper foundries in the U.S., Japan and Sweden indicate a risk of lung cancer 6–10 times higher for the most exposed workers compared with the general population. Long-term ingestion of arsenic trioxide either in drinking water or as a medical treatment can lead to skin cancer. Reproductive problems (high incidence of miscarriage, low birth weight, congenital deformations) have also been indicated in one study of women exposed to arsenic trioxide dust as employees or neighbours of a copper foundry.
In Austria, there lived the so-called "arsenic eaters of Styria", who ingested doses far beyond the lethal dose of arsenic trioxide without any apparent harm. Arsenic is thought to enable strenuous work at high altitudes, e.g. in the Alps.[19][20][21][22]
In the U.S., the OSHA 1910.1018 occupational permissible exposure limit for inorganic arsenic compounds in breathing zone air is 0.010 mg/m3.

BassamFellows: The Nature of Modernism
What is ailing in fine furnishings? "Nature," answers design duo Craig Bassam and Scott Fellows. "I really feel that a connection to nature is what makes Modernism human," says Bassam, who sees their work as an antidote to novelty-driven and mass-produced design.
Principally made from hand-finished wood, brass, and leather, furniture designed by BassamFellows follows their belief in "core luxury values": honesty of material, solidity of construction; utility and beauty without elaboration. With the Tuxedo lounge seating, part of the Herman Miller Collection, the goal remains the same: an attention to luxury detail that doesn't compete with the rest of the room.

Teenage Dream
More From "After Happily Ever After"
Powered by Series Engine
In our quest to find the One, to marry the right person, one of the all-time most important factors is compatibility (it's part of that "missing puzzle piece" mindset we talked about last week). True Love, we think, is finding that person with whom we "click", a person who either shares all our same interests or complements us in such a way that when people meet us, they think, Wow, what a great match!
Compatibility is so all-important that online dating base their entire business models on it. eHarmony promises they'll
Help you find the most promising matches. People whose goals, values and personality traits most complement you… Which means you've already got a great foundation and a head start.
Other sites all have you list your likes and dislikes, favorite books and movies and more. The idea behind all of these is the same: we want to find someone who's just like us, someone who fits us. Just like we saw last week, it's as though I'm a half-soul looking for my other half. And if I'm dating in today's world, I'm in luck. Because in olden days you had to rely on dumb luck. But now we can harness the power of science to find my match!
And even if you've never been to an online dating site, we still think that way. We want to find someone we're compatible with. Because we think that compatibility is the soul of true love. It's all about finding your soulmate, your One, your puzzle piece.
The big problem with the Compatibility Myth is that it doesn't stand the test of time.
This is the story time and time again: You get married to someone who completes you. You're deeply in love and you complement each other so well. The first year or two are pure bliss. But the longer you're married, the stranger the other becomes. After a few years, you're starting to wonder if you even know this other person. There's so much about them that seems… just weird. Or maybe they've changed. Or maybe they didn't change like you thought they were going to.
However it unfolds, at some point you start to wonder,
Who is this stranger I'm married to? I thought we were compatible, that they were my One, but now I'm not so sure.
I wonder if I've married the wrong person?
This experience – sometime between the third and tenth year of marriage feeling like you've married a stranger, that you've made a mistake – is so common we've given it a name – the Itch. I've heard it variously called the Four Year, Five Year, Seven Year, and Ten Year Itch. It's something that nearly every marriage experiences.
Which ought to give us pause. Wonder if maybe our expectations for Marriage are broken. Does anyone actually marry the right person? Actually, no.

Chuck Ray Named to Bethel Superior Court
June 20, 2012, Anchorage, Alaska - Governor Sean Parnell today appointed Chuck Ray to the Bethel Superior Court. Ray fills the seat left vacant by the passing of the Honorable Marvin Hamilton III.
"Mr. Ray brings a great deal of experience to his new role," Governor Parnell said. "I look forward to the contributions he will make to the Bethel Superior Court and the communities in the Yukon-Kuskokwim region."
Ray has practiced law in Alaska for nearly 30 years and currently manages his own law office. His practice is focused on civil litigation in torts and insurance law with an emphasis on maritime issues. Ray earned his law degree from the University of Oregon Law School after spending nearly a decade as a commercial fisherman in Alaska. He and his wife Jenny have three children.
Alaska's Superior Courts are trial courts for both civil and criminal cases. They also serve as appellate courts for cases from the district courts and some administrative agencies. Superior courts hear cases involving children, domestic relations and property matters.

Angelina (whose insulting nickname is »Cenerentola«, or »Cinderella« in English) is humiliated by her father and her two sisters. Prince Ramiro announces a celebration at which he wants to choose his bride. The trick: To deliver the invitation, he disguises himself as his servant and disguises his servant as the prince. In this way, he meets Cenerentola. Although she has been prohibited to do so, she makes a charmingly beautiful appearance at the celebration. The prince, who has been in love with her from the beginning, chooses her to be his bride. Her sisters and father are angry. C'est la vie...

Reading Fly Control & Extermination
Massachusetts is quite lovely during the warmer months of the year, and it is especially gorgeous as summer bleeds into fall. This brings a number of tourists and other visitors to our state, but the conditions of this time of year also attract large numbers of flies. Although many homeowners feel as if they have flies and other insects under control, Massachusetts fly control is a continuous challenge for numerous residents of the state.
Flies may seem more like an annoyance than anything else, but they can actually cause damage and harm to humans and their pets. Some flies, like crane flies, can cause damage and destruction to lawns and other types of vegetation. Other flies, such as the fruit fly, are known for spreading diseases during their travels, while some different species of flies have been known to lay eggs in human food. When flies are allowed to exist without the proper methods of control, their numbers can become incredibly large, and they begin to pose an even larger threat to society. This is why people are urged to practice prevention techniques so that they can avoid flies in the first place.
Prevention of flies is not guaranteed to stop them from infesting a home, but it can help to reduce the total numbers of the creatures that are able to enter a home or property. The best way to keep flies from becoming a nuisance is to keep all areas clean and sanitary. Flies are attracted to food and water, just like most other creatures. People who make these items readily available by failing to cover their food or dispose of their trash are likely to deal with flies in large numbers for a long time. By taking time to cover food and store it properly, dispose of trash and keep an orderly, clean house, homeowners can prevent the worst fly infestations.
Unfortunately, prevention of flies can only go so far, which is why the services of a professional pest control company are recommended, even for those who have not experienced a fly infestation. A professional service like ours can rid a home of flies and other pests, but it can also be used for prevention so that the creatures do not target a home. We have access to the most effective chemical treatments, and our staff members receive the best, up-to-date training from leaders in the pest control industry. As a result, we are able to tackle even the largest fly infestations here in Massachusetts. House flies, cluster flies, face, fresh and fungus flies are all common in the state, as are moths, but we have the expertise to handle all species and ensure that they are not interested in returning to a treated home.
Massachusetts is a delightful and enchanting place, but problem flies often threaten the pleasant experiences people can have in The Bay State. With proper prevention, homeowners can keep the flies away for a while, but the best way to ensure a fly-free home is to invest in the services of a professional pest control company. Flies can be a nuisance, but they can also cause serious damage and disease. Thankfully, a professional company like ours can eliminate the creatures for good so that families can enjoy their homes in peace.

I met Stephen just after he turned twenty-one. I was twenty-five.
I don't know if I believe in love at first sight. I definitely believe in lust at first sight and I can tell you (almost without blushing) I felt that way for him. I probably couldn't tell you the moment I fell in love with him, but I do remember being nervous as hell to tell him only to have him smile at me and repeat it back without hesitation. We fell for each other from the beginning. We were "that couple" that people rolled their eyes at and were all, "Oh you two will get married. And stop being so cute. It's grossing us out."
We're still cute.
And seven years later, we are, once again, celebrating his birthday together and our lives are so utterly completely different from that day back in 2005.
Happy Birthday, Stephen. I can't wait to celebrate so many more with you. I love you…

If a mother like Teneka Williams struggles to keep her daughter from sliding into obesity, America is in big trouble. Williams is the kind of mother doctors at an obesity clinic dream of. Usually, parents need some convincing that their overweight kids have a problem, and they aren't always ready to make changes. "Teneka has been incredible,'' says Dr Elsie Taveras. And yet she has trouble keeping her daughter healthy.

Hi David, nice shot. I've done a mod in PS and cranked up the clarity to bring the water droplets out a little more and then put a field blur over the image. I then added a layer mask and painted in black to clear the field blur around the badge. Hope you like it.
