Always keep your principles and show empathy
Lamvy Lai Tze-chiu, a manager at Sun Life Financial, got his job through a recruitment website. He is happy to note that the company has a very good reputation in terms of corporate governance and integrity, and provides a wide range of protection and wealth accumulation products tailored to different customer needs. He tells Wong Yat-hei he is confident that working for a reputable company will take his career to the next level.
What is your academic background?
I took my tertiary education on the mainland. I graduated in 2006 with a bachelor's degree in information technology from Sun Yat-sen University [in Guangzhou]. I studied for my master's and eventually got my PhD in finance from Jinan University [also in Guangzhou] in 2008.
How do you start your day?
I have a motto: If you want to succeed, you need to wake up an hour earlier than others. I usually get up at 6.30am to check out the performance of the European and US equity markets and other relevant economic data. Then I scan the evaluation reports prepared by various financial institutes to learn about global economic trends. When I arrive at the office, I share market information with my colleagues. Then I attend training sessions by senior managers.
What does your job entail?
Sun Life's mission is to help customers to achieve lifetime financial security. I market wealth and protection solutions to customers according to their needs. I need to prepare marketing strategies to maintain and develop a relationship with customers.
The company has a dedicated learning and development centre to provide a series of training programmes for new joiners to improve their financial knowledge and skills in serving customers. The training provides new financial planners with a solid foundation to help them develop the needed competencies.
What is your job's major challenge?
My biggest challenge is my limited network as I have not been in Hong Kong for long. Sun Life has been very supportive and helpful in organising different types of activities for me so that I could build my network.
What have you learned about your chosen career and what are your plans?
Financial planning requires integrity and efficiency. We need to understand the needs of our customers fully and put ourselves in their shoes. A customer's total trust in me is a huge recognition. I would like my customers to be my friends – not just mere clients. I look forward to developing my own team. I would like to share my experience with my team members and build a team of professional financial planners.
Any advice to potential interns?
Financial planning demands discipline with high integrity. Your work today will affect the future of your customers' families. We must take our job seriously and prudently. We also need comprehensive, up-to-date knowledge in order to cope with the rapidly evolving global financial market.

By BETH ANN BALDRY
Managing Editor, golfweek.com
It turns out life after Michael Putnam isn't all that bad at Pepperdine. Less than a year after the most decorated player in Waves' history moved out of Malibu, the program is enjoying a sound, steady season.
Coach John Geiberger offers a simple explanation: "Part of the problem last year is that most of our kids were either freshmen or inexperienced sophomores so they kind of looked up to Michael. He went out and shot 3 or 4 under and they would throw in 75s and we weren't that strong. But everyone is a year older and more experienced."
While Putnam finished runner-up as an individual at the NCAA Championship last June, the rest of his team didn't make the trip to Caves Valley. The Waves lost in a playoff to Southern California at the West Regional and, after missing their flight home, endured a tough evening in Stanford.
Only two players remain from last year's starting five. Senior Alex Coe says the "fresh blood" has invigorated the Waves, who are 21st in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings, an improvement from 2005's season-ending No. 26 showing.
"Last year it was kind of us supporting Mike," said Coe. "Now I think we're more of a well-rounded team, where everyone is putting in effort and contributing."
No one has stepped up more than Coe. The well-spoken Californian has been a model of consistency, notching six top-10 finishes and a 71.71 scoring average. Last season Coe posted a 74.0 average and only one top 10.
"I was telling people this summer that when King Kong leaves, somebody's got to jump in the hole and fill it up," said Geiberger. "I don't think anyone expected (Coe) to take it this far."
Coe won the General Jim Hackler Invitational for the second time in three years March 13 with rounds of 70-71-69. He credits his success to Geiberger, the 10-year coaching veteran who completely overhauled Coe's course management techniques.
"In junior golf you step up to the tee and hit it down the middle," said Coe. "Now I'm thinking, where's the pin? Where do I want to hit it in the fairway? Where's the short side? Where's the slope? It's just the little things that have added up."
Coe, who played hockey in Alaska before moving to Guam and taking up golf at age 7, decided to be a tad more meticulous about managing his diet this semester as well. Under the guidance of his roommates, players on the Pepperdine baseball team, Coe traded Diet Cokes for spinach shakes and water. And he tries to eat not one, but two apples per day. His diet, along with a five-day-a-week gym regimen, caused Coe to drop 20 pounds from his 6-foot-3 frame in the past four months.
Geiberger describes Coe as a coach's dream: a guy who plays with a lot of heart and soaks up every word of advice.
Of course it's not hard to take the word of a man named Geiberger seriously. John's father, Al, collected 11 PGA Tour titles and 10 trophies on the senior circuit. His brother, Brent, is a two-time winner on the PGA Tour. John Geiberger spent six seasons (1991-96) as a full-time caddie for his father, but his favorite memory came in 1987. Nineteen-year-old John was on the bag when dad reeled off five birdies to start the final round at the Las Vegas Senior Classic and went on to shoot 62 and win by four strokes.
"I had the best seat in the house with some of the best players of all-time," said John Geiberger. "Whether it's Jack Nicklaus or Lee Trevino or my dad, I was able to see how greatness was accomplished through a lot of different ways of playing this game."
It was an education the Pepperdine alum took back with him to Malibu in July 1996 when he took over coaching duties from former Waves' teammate Todd Andrews. Geiberger found immediate success in his new gig, leading Pepperdine to the 1997 West Coast Conference title and a trip to the NCAA Championship.
On the flight to Chicago, Geiberger felt like he was coming down with a bad case of the flu. He went to the doctor two days later and was diagnosed with chicken pox. Quarantined to his hotel room for the entire week, Geiberger never made it to Conway Farms Golf Club. An athletic director relayed scores via phone and players poked their heads in the door at night to check on him. Team meetings were out of the question.
Fortunately for Geiberger, the final round was broadcast live on ESPN that year. Watching senior Jason Gore help lead the Waves to their first NCAA title helped relieve Geiberger's itching for a few hours.
"It was a very unique week with us capturing the title and me never getting out of the hotel room," said Geiberger. "I realized maybe I should've retired after the first year."
Geiberger's rookie season was undoubtedly hard to top. Yet the Waves have won eight WCC Championships under his tutelage and made eight NCAA regional appearances. Geiberger also has coached nine All-Americans.
But while the Putnams and Gores of the world get people talking, players like J.J. Wood - who make giant leaps and quiet contributions - also give Geiberger reason to smile.
Wood, a redshirt junior from Yuma, Ariz., played only 15 rounds in his first three years at Pepperdine with a 77.42 average. This season, Wood jumped into the No. 2 spot in the lineup, posting a 73.62 average over 24 rounds with a pair of top-10 finishes.
"They look around and they don't see Michael (Putnam)," said Geiberger. "They don't see a 68 so they know they're going to have to go after it and get it done. I think sometimes that makes for a better team."
Even without King Kong.

Angry tiger chart
This pattern is available for €1.50 EUR buy it now
I was fascinated by the idea to make a tiger in two colours with a more wild and angry appearence and a bit tattoo like.
Wasn't easy at all but finally I managed (took me all Saturday… ;-)
I will definitely make a beanie from it in orange and black…
The pattern goes over 18 stitches. And I also like the peerie stripes pattern.
As there was some misunderstanding concerning the pattern, please note:
There is no tiger paw included in this chart!

I have a bunch of deer hides left over. Going to try to make leather without hair. Do I need to pickle? Any help with steps with help. I've tanned with hair on, but this is a new experience. Another question for anybody that knows how to brain tan, after tanning, could you put the hide in a 6 foot-tall 4 foot-wide tumbler to break? Thanks for your help! Furchaser
Return to Category Menu
Furchaser, Knoblochs makes a hair-off kit which I use, I dont know if Rittels makes one or not, but if you call Bruce Rittel or Mark Danielsthey could give you all the info you need.Mark Daniels is at Knoblochs just in case you were wondering who he was, hope this helps you out.
furchaser, I have experimented with a few tans and I have successfully(I think) braintanned about 4 deer hides,the process to get the brain(tanning(?) agent) into the hide requires manual stretching and rubbing of the hide over a stake or blunt object to create a low "heat" to allow the brain to penetrate the fibers of the skin to let it relax and fluff.I doubt if tumbling will get the results you really want. I can maybe help you further if you email me direct.

Thomas Jefferson: Liberty & Slavery
Thomas Jefferson helped to create a new nation based on individual freedom and self-government. His words in the Declaration of Independence expressed the aspirations of the new nation. But the Declaration did not extend "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" to African Americans, indentured servants, or women. Twelve of the first eighteen American presidents owned slaves. Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration and called slavery an "abominable crime," yet he was a lifelong slaveholder. Fearful of dividing the fragile new nation, Jefferson and other founders who opposed slavery did not insist on abolishing it. It took 87 more years―and the Civil War, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the 13th Amendment―to end slavery.
Jefferson and the Enlightenment
Jefferson drew upon his education in law and Enlightenment philosophy when he wrote the Declaration of Independence (1776) and A Summary View of the Rights of British America (1774), two treatises that grappled with liberty and slavery. At the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, colonial Virginia's capital, he studied mathematics, natural philosophy (science), and political philosophy with Scottish scholar William Small. Jefferson was exposed to the leading thinkers of the Enlightenment, who stressed that liberty and equality were natural human rights.
A Society Dependent on Slavery
Slavery made the world Thomas Jefferson knew. The colonial society into which he was born would not have existed without it. The profits from slave-based agriculture made his parents' household and lifestyle, and his education and exposure to the colonial capital of Williamsburg, possible. Though Jefferson came to abhor slavery, his livelihood depended on it.
Jefferson's Antislavery Actions
Jefferson was one of the first statesmen anywhere to take action to end slavery. In 1778 he introduced a Virginia law prohibiting the importation of enslaved Africans. In 1784 he proposed a ban on slavery in the Northwest Territory, new lands ceded by the British in 1783. In Notes on the State of Virginia, published in 1785, he proposed a plan of gradual emancipation. After 1785, he was publicly silent on the issue.
How could men who were directly or indirectly dependent on slavery found a nation based on liberty and equality?

VIA paratransit vehicle catches fire
Updated 9:42 pm, Monday, May 12, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — A VIA Metropolitan Transit paratransit van with no passengers in it caught fire Monday afternoon near Interstate 10 and Culebra Road, an agency spokeswoman said.
The driver, who had noticed smoke, was not hurt, said VIA spokeswoman Priscilla Ingle.
About 1:40 p.m., the driver saw smoke coming from an air-conditioning vent, San Antonio Fire Department spokesman Christian Bove said in an email. The vehicle's fire-suppression system activated, and the driver got off Interstate 10, headed west onto Culebra Road and pulled into an empty lot, Ingle said.
The engine started to smoke again, so the driver got out of the van and waited for firefighters. The flames spread from the engine, burning the front half of the vehicle, Bove said.
Only one fire unit was needed to extinguish the blaze, he said.
Fire officials believe an engine malfunction, possibly electrical, was the cause.
News Channel
Ingle said the agency plans to investigate.
"Once we know what the cause is, we'll do our due diligence to look at the matter and take any precautionary measures that need to be taken" with the fleet, Ingle said.
VIATrans is an appointment-based service for passengers who cannot ride the bus because of a disability.
There are 113 vans in the VIATrans fleet. The agency also partners with a private company to provide additional paratransit service, but the vehicle that caught fire Monday belonged to VIA, Ingle said.

The Derek Blanks-directed video shows the R'n'B diva making up and breaking up several times with her on-screen boyfriend.
The music video for Sevyn Streeters and Kid Ink's "nEXt" has arrived in full. Directed by Derek Blanks, the clip opens with the R&B singer/songwriter having an argument with her boyfriend, played by her collaborator.
In another scene, she's seen sitting in a post-it memos-filled bathtub as she sings about not wanting to let her lover go although they can't stop fighting. "How can my ex boyfriend be my next boyfriend," she coos. "I need to know."
"nExt" is the second single off "Call Me Crazy, But...", Streeter's debut EP that landed in the top 10 of Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums following its release in early December.
The 27-year-old singer, who wrote hits for the likes of Chris Brown, Alicia Keys and Ariana Grande among others in the past, is now readying her first LP which she has said will be the "continuation" of the EP.

Removing rootkit.0access.h Rootkit Google RedirectorTuesday, March 27th, 2012
More stuff showed up on my personal machine. Yuk. rootkit.0access.h
Additionally when using the method I used it breaks the net connection. I fixed all. Sequence follows.
- TDSSKiller – I had to run and reboot several times. I also may have run Malwarebytes in between. Should have kept track better! This was because first I used an older version as I was being blocked by the virus. After I ran it I was able to connect and get the updated version which found more stuff.
- Malwarebytes – had to run this 2 or 3 times to come up clean. After this my net connection was broken.
- XP, Vista, Win7 Network Registry keys – I double clicked on netbt.reg as refered to on the page that took me to the reg keys – network was still not restored
- Farbar Service Scanner FSS – I ran FSS to find out what network function was not working. It came back with AFD.sys service not running.
- AFD.reg – I clicked on the AFD.reg key included in the XP registry keys. I then rebooted. After that my net connection was back.

Mahsa, 29 (Brooklyn, New York), works as an Assistant District Attorney in Brooklyn, New York, and is the host of two web shows on the side. Dealing with the financial pressures of being the sole breadwinner in her family, Mahsa has gained personal strength in this economic downturn. Before receiving her J.D. at Brooklyn Law School, Mahsa studied biology at the University of Virginia, and film at the New York Film Academy. She passionately fights to promote justice, and is obsessed with beauty, hair and style secrets.
Q) Why did you want to be on the show, and why did you think you'd make a good competitor?
A) First, every single aspect of the show excites me, the tasks, the competition, the boardroom showdown, and of course the Donald. I just love it! Nothing is more exciting than risking it all for a chance to win BIG and live the American dream. Second, as an Assistant District Attorney, I encounter many problems such as domestic violence and drug addiction. I know that the solution lies in having alternative programs and not just throwing people in prison. If I change my place in society, I can make a real difference in the lives of others and help to create a criminal justice system that works better for defendants, victims and the community at large. Finally, I've been bossing people around since my days in the playground. I'm a great competitor and these contestants don't scare me. Bring it on ladies - and yes, I'm referring to the men's team as well.
Q) What was your reaction when you found out you'd been picked to be on the show? How did your friends and family react?
A) I'm a big believer in the power of positive visualization. For months, I put a picture of Mr. Trump on my vision board with the words "my boss" underneath. I kept that soothing and tranquil image in my head throughout the grueling audition process. When the producers broke the news, I was in a state of shock, walking on clouds. I kept thinking, what will I put up on my board next? Everyone's reaction was "Fabulous! Just don't be that Omarosa girl!"
Q) With cameras rolling, how does it feel to know you're under America's microscope? What surprised you about the experience?
A) If I thought about the cameras or America's microscope, I would've never auditioned. You cannot think about that stuff. You must be 100% true to yourself, keep it real, and hope that somebody likes you! I was surprised at the level of competition; this wasn't a TV show and it wasn't a game. It was more than "the ultimate job interview." It was the fight of a lifetime.
Q) What about the competition was harder than you might have expected?
A) I've never been far away from my husband, and I never want to be again.
Q) Do you have a favorite past winner or contestant from either the original Apprentice, or from Celebrity Apprentice?
A) Kwame Jackson from Season 1. He's so intelligent, lovable and talented. He also has a new line of neckwear that would make any man look as good as Mr. Trump... almost!
Q) Beyond The Apprentice, what's your dream job? Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
A) My dream job has always been to be a "Today Show: Correspondent, seated right in between Matt and Meredith!

Turnpike planning called into question over demolition of recently built bridges
The Pennsylvania Turnpike demolished six bridges it built less than 17 years ago, even though they were designed to last for 75 years, and plans to tear down an 18-year-old span this year as part of ongoing reconstruction of America's oldest superhighway.
"This may have been unfortunate, but the bridge replacements were essential," turnpike spokesman Carl DeFebo said.
A transportation expert and a Hempfield supervisor whose farm straddles the highway questioned whether planners should have thought ahead.
Critics have long complained about the Turnpike Commission's spending practices. A state grand jury is investigating its spending.
Turnpike officials dispute that the agency wasted money on the replacement projects, including one in Westmoreland County.
Gary Graham, the agency's assistant chief engineer for design, said the turnpike built the seven bridges during the mid-1990s for "safety reasons."
They replaced deteriorated spans that went up in 1938 and 1939 — when the life expectancy for a new bridge was about 50 years.
The projects cost a combined $9.1 million, turnpike records show. The turnpike spent $13.8 million to replace the bridges after less than a quarter of their useful life expectancy in projects completed over the past seven years, records show.
It figures to spend more than $1 million on a seventh project this year. In addition to Westmoreland County, two bridges are in Somerset County, two are in Bedford County and two are in Cumberland County.
A plan to rebuild and widen the highway "wasn't on the radar yet" when the turnpike did the initial replacement on the bridges, Graham said.
In Hempfield, crews tore down the crumbling Eisaman Road bridge and replaced it with a span that opened in 1997, at a cost of $1.6 million. It stretched across four lanes.
The extensive rebuilding of the highway started two years later, with early work focused on replacing pavement, DeFebo said. Officials later included widening the highway to six lanes in each section it rebuilt, he said.
To date, 102 miles of the turnpike have been rebuilt at a cost of more than $2 billion, DeFebo said. The agency's debt jumped from $2.6 billion to $8.3 billion since 2007, forcing it to borrow money and raise tolls annually.
Work began between the Irwin and New Stanton interchanges in 2006, with $110 million in improvements planned. The old Eisaman Road bridge remained open as construction began on one less than 100 yards away. The new $2 million bridge spans six lanes with a wider median and shoulders.
The new Eisaman Road bridge opened in May 2010. Crews demolished the 13-year-old one a month later.
Tom Logan, a Hempfield supervisor whose Logan Family Farms in Hempfield is split by the turnpike, thinks the agency should have had "enough foresight to build a bridge that could last for at least the next 50 years."
Logan questions the value of the widening project, saying the amount of traffic that passes his farm does not appear to justify the additional lanes or expense.
Martin Pietrucha, director of the Pennsylvania Transportation Institute at Penn State University, said it's easy to question why millions of dollars went down the drain.
"But it's probably not as simple as just saying, 'What the heck were these knuckleheads thinking?'
"It could have been that someone was asleep at the wheel, but I'd like to think that was not the case and the (widening project) wasn't even a glimmer in someone's eyes when the bridges were originally replaced," Pietrucha said.

|Faction Quest
A Valorous Proposition is a quest available in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
Once you completed the previous fight and collected your rewards, Jakin Madsen tells you that the Champion Tyr Magnus would like to speak to you. No matter how you answer Tyr your next fight in the arena will be a solo act. When you exit, Jokull Fangard will run up to talk to you and tell you that Tyr is going to cheat and try to have you killed.
Go to the arena when ready to tackle this next battle against Mad Dog and his never ending rogues. Like all of the battles so far it starts off as three enemies, however if you attack and kill the rogues they seem to spawn new ones. Only 6 or 7 rogues spawn in total.
Once Mad Dog and his rogues are down for the count, leave the arena and collect your reward. Jakin Madsen mentions that the Tyr Magnus would like to speak to you again. Tyr admits to what Jokull Fangard told you and is not happy with the results as you would guess from the previous talk. Nonetheless, this quest ends (level-based XP ~7000 at level 36) and the next, A Viper For All Seasons, begins.
- Level-dependent gold,
- Ardra's Greaves.
- It is advised to just go after Mad Dog and avoid the rogues.

Jason Russell Breakdown
March 28, 2012 by staff
Jason Russell Breakdown, Celebrities such as Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Cory Monteith, Kim Kardashian and Kristen Bell played a pivotal role in galvanizing online support for Kony 2012, the viral video created by Jason Russell and his Invisible Children foundation aiming to stop the abuse and killing of children at the hands of Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony.
But after the director ended up hospitalized Friday after an apparent freakout, many of those same folks have gone radio silent…except for a few.
So what did these celebs have to say?
"Thank you @BenKeesey your tireless eloquence never ceases to amaze me," tweeted actress Kristen Bell, linking to a video Invisible Children posted updating people on Jason's condition under the "global media spotlight."
The Forgetting Sarah Marshall star, who's been a steadfast Kony 2012 supporter ever since the video went live, further defended Russell.
Bell replied to one follower with a link to an Atlantic article about what people can learn from the helmer's very public breakdown: "@Bpd116 ur misinformed & r judging based on salacious headlines. Be Human. Drop the stones."

Sanofi Regeneron Report Phase 3 ODYSSEY MONO trial with Alirocumab Met Primary Efficacy Endpoint
Sanofi (NYSE: SNY) and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced that the Phase 3 ODYSSEY MONO trial with alirocumab, an investigational monoclonal antibody targeting PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9), met its primary efficacy endpoint. The mean low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C, or "bad" cholesterol) reduction from baseline to week 24, the primary efficacy endpoint of the study, was significantly greater in patients randomized to alirocumab, as compared to patients randomized to ezetimibe (47.2% vs. 15.6%, p<0.0001). In the trial, which employed a dose increase (up-titration) for patients who did not achieve an LDL-C level of 70 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL), the majority of patients remained on the initial low dose of alirocumab of 75 milligrams (mg).
"We are excited with the findings from the first Phase 3 trial with alirocumab. While the majority of our clinical program is investigating alirocumab in combination with lipid-lowering therapies, these monotherapy results are encouraging," said Jay Edelberg M.D., Ph.D., Head of the PCSK9 Development and Launch Unit, Sanofi Group. "As in this trial, several of our Phase 3 studies will utilize an up-titration approach, the aim of which

In terms of who I am beyond all that boring stuff, I'm a 40 year old professional working in the health care industry in a broad way. I always have a book somewhere nearby, and am addicted to playing games on my iPhone. Actually, I think I'm just addicted to my iPhone! I can text all night but don't really like talking on the phone. (Note: Just because I like to text does not mean I'm going to be exchanging numbers with you immediately. I'm selective about who gets my number. I'm much more likely to give you a messenger handle.) I have a fondness for word play and bad puns, especially bad fish puns, that no one else seems to appreciate. I was raised a country girl in a town around 7,000 on a good day but love living in the city now. I find myself occasionally nostalgic for my life back in a small town. When that happens I get in my car, drive just about anywhere in St. Louis, and say a fervent prayer of thanksgiving that I am not in the middle of nowhere anymore. Small towns have their charm but the "big city" frees you to be who you are, at least in my experience.
I'm trying to think of what else to put in here but my mind is, of course, blank right now. Honestly I'm happy to talk about myself; feel free to ask me anything! In fact if you start the conversation it will go better if you have things to ask me!
Trying to find something I'm passionate about. Or alternately, since I'm pretty sure mental health and social services work is what I'm passionate about, trying to figure out how to move ahead in the field. Hence, figuring out the next degree I need. See how that all circles back?
Non-physical I'd guess my sense of humor. It's often obscure; people don't always get my jokes. I think they're funny though and honestly? I often just want to amuse myself.
The words I use. I tend to have a rather extensive vocabulary. Often, like with my jokes, people look at me askance (see what I did there?) when I pull out some thesaurus-worthy words.
Books: The Newsflesh trilogy by Mira Grant (if you haven't read them do so now!), Daughter of the Blood, Heir to the Shadows, Queen of the Darkness by Anne Bishop (simply amazing, if you enjoy fantasy I highly recommend them), Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (favorite book hands down if I have to pick), anything about forensics from forensic anthropology to forensic pathology whether it's fiction or non-fiction like the Diane Fallon mysteries by Beverly Connor or No Stone Unturned by Steve Jackson (about the formation of NecroSearch International).
Movies: I'm a romantic comedy kinda girl, probably because I'm a hopeless romantic. Hope Floats, Jerry Macguire, Pratical Magic and Love Actually are staples of my DVD shelf not to mention Dirty Dancing. I have a love for BBC period pieces. I own the 1995 BBC (and non-BBC 2005) version of Pride and Prejudice as well as their adaptation of Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion. I am also a huge fan of Serenity and the TV show it was spawned from. Bonus points if you know what TV show that is, more points if you like it.
Music: I listen to just about anything! I've got Michael Bublé, Train and the Glee soundtrack in playlists. I also love Trisha Yearwood, Nickelback, Matchbox 20, Barenaked Ladies, John Mayer, Joss Stone, and Melissa Etheridge. It's a good bet I've got music on in the background no matter what I'm doing and it could be anything from Melissa Etheridge's "Kiss Me" to Custom's "Beat Me" to Alanis Morisette's cover of "Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love)". I was raised on country music but I can find something to like in most genres.
Shows: Big Bang Theory, Marvel's Agents of S. H. I. E. L. D., Bones, Criminal Minds, I spent a month or so binging the Travel Channel show Dead Files on Netflix and wish I could find something similar to watch now that I've exhausted all those episodes. Any recommendations? We don't have cable so most of what I watch is on Netflix. I recently decided to try Hulu so I can branch out a bit more now!
Food: I'm not a picky eater and I'm generally pretty adventurous. I can almost always find something I'm willing to try at any restaurant but I'm going to have an easier time at Mexican, Italian, or Chinese places. I have to have Chinese buffet every so often or I go a little crazy; it's one of my weaknesses!
Books, plenty of books.
My journals.
My cell phone/iPad.
Pretty string to play with and make things.
Time with friends and family.
You didn't run scared when you saw the words "open relationship" in my introduction. I really am on here for new friends and activity partners. Yes, I'm in an open relationship but I am looking for friends as well as people to date; if something would develop from that, excellent! But that isn't the sole purpose of my profile here.
You have a book you think I should try, a movie you think I should see, or a restaurant you think I would like. I love recommendations!
Better yet, you want to! Maybe something in my profile made you think of yourself, maybe something made you laugh, or maybe you just liked what you read. I'm a fun and quirky girl with a great sense of humor. I'm up for just about anything from a quiet dinner to drinks to hanging out at the bookstore! Why don't we see what trouble we can get into?

Statesmen in Middle of Pack at Fort Worth Sectional
Oskaloosa–The William Penn women's bowling team will need to be at its best next month when it goes to the Lonestar State for the XBowling Intercollegiate Team Sectionals.
The Statesmen, ranked #26 on the collegebowling.com website, will travel to Fort Worth, Texas for the 14-team tournament that runs from March 15-16 at Cityview Lanes. The tournament is a Baker format consisting of 64 total games–32 each day.
It is WPU's third sectionals trip in its five-year existence on the lanes.
The other sectionals will be held at Allentown, Pa., Addison, Ill., and Smyrna, Tenn. Top-ranked Wichita State (Kan.) will top the Fort Worth tourney.
#2 Webber International (Fla.) is heading to Allentown, while #3 Robert Morris (Ill.) stays close to home as the best squad at Addison. #4 Lindenwood (Mo.) is the lead team going to Smyrna.
Behind Wichita State, #7 Midland (Neb.), #11 Newman (Kan.), #16 Victory (Tenn.), #19 Marian (Ind.), and #25 Emmanuel (Ga.), William Penn will be the seventh-highest squad at Cityview Lanes.
The remainder of the Fort Worth field includes: #32 Stephen F. Austin (Texas), #33 West Texas A&M, #39 Fresno State (Calif.), #47 Robert Morris-Springfield (Ill.), #57 Bethel (Tenn.), #63 Lindenwood-Belleville (Ill.), and #64 Highland CC (Kan.).
The Statesmen will be paced by Kirstin Newberry (Sr., Holland, Mich., Secondary Education), who is currently ranked #146 in the nation with a 184.5 average.
Sectional assignments are based on Team Ranking System points. Fields are determined by taking geographic distance, economics, and field size into consideration. To sort teams evenly throughout each sectional, the USBC attempts to place no more than two of the top eight schools and no more than four of the top 16 schools in a sectional based on final TRS totals.
The top four teams from each of the four sectionals advance to the XBowling Intercollegiate Team Championships, which will be held April 16-18 at Reno-Sparks Convention Center in Reno, Nev.
In addition, the four sites will also host the XBowling Intercollegiate Singles Sectionals on March 14 with individuals bowling six games.
The top 24 men and the top 16 women–top four from each sectional plus eight additional men based on size of field at each location–advance to the national singles championship on April 14 and 18 in Reno.

I enjoy vulgarity, cheap lines and jokes with double meanings as much as the next person, but really, is this the best we can do? Anupama Chopra writes.
Gattu, directed by Rajan Khosa, is an effortlessly charming, bittersweet film about a little boy obsessed with kite-flying. Nine-year-old Gattu lives in Roorkee, Uttarakhand.
In Cocktail, Imtiaz Ali as a co-writer creates a love triangle that references Archie's comics, the 1980s television show Three's Company and the oeuvre of Aditya Chopra-Karan Johar (foreign locales, decadent Western lifestyle, superior Indian values) and yet feels new. Anupama Chopra writes.
Bol Bachchan, like most of Rohit Shetty's earlier films, including the Golmaal series and All the Best: Fun Begins, isn't so much a film as a series of gags strung together with songs and the requisite car-bashing action. Anupama Chopra writes.

The film is one more in the line of movies that value masala above all else. But Dabangg and even Wanted, were far more cohesive and compelling. Rowdy Rathore is pure noise. Anupama Chopra reviews.

Two computerized programs improved outcomes when they were used to supplement or partially replace in-person behavioral therapy for drug addiction in recent NIDA-sponsored trials.
Young adults who had been maltreated as children differed from others who had not been maltreated in the connectivity of nine cortical regions. The differences could compromise the maltreated group's basic social perceptual skills, ability to maintain a healthy balance between introversion and extroversion, and ability to self-regulate their emotions and behavior.
September 2015
Two researchers share their reasons for researching transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for treating cocaine addiction, and describe challenges to moving forward this potentially promising therapy.
In mice, a cocaine-induced imbalance in the activity of two key populations of neurons in the reward system persists for a longer period after repeated exposure to the drug. For long-term users, this change could both weaken the cocaine "high" and strengthen the compulsion to seek the drug.
New findings from a follow-up to a NIDA-supported trial indicate that the benefits of Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care extend to a reduction in illegal drug use in young adulthood.
Adolescent monkeys that were exposed to THC fell progressively further behind THC-free monkeys in their ability to recall the location of an object after a brief delay.
A NIDA-supported study has found that a cocaine-addicted person's chance of managing 1 whole year of abstinence correlates with activity levels in these impaired motivational and decision-making brain areas.
July 2015
Answers to three simple questions can help a busy health care provider flag a teen's problematic use of alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana.
With a few simple questions, a new screening tool detects whether a teen is likely to have a mild-to-moderate or a severe substance use disorder.
A can-do attitude, ability to cope with potential triggers for drug use, readiness to change, and participation in self-help programs are major assets for people trying to recover from cocaine addiction.

New plot against Colombian candidate
By Jeremy McDermott in El Caguan
Colombian police say they have uncovered yet another plot to assassinate right wing presidential candidate Alvaro Uribe Velez.
Police have arrested two snipers in the northern city of Medellin who they said were planning to assassinate Mr Uribe Velez in the next few days.
Police said the men belonged to the urban militia of Colombia's largest rebel group the FARC, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
If proven to be true, it would be the third reported attempt on the hard-line Mr Uribe Velez, who has made it abundantly clear he will not continue the present government's three-year peace process under the current conditions.
Peace talks have not made any progress, or seem likely to in the near future, despite record levels of violence and kidnapping.
Dead deal
Sources within the FARC, while not admitting to any attempt to kill Mr Uribe Velez, have said his election will bring the tentative peace process to an end and plunge the country into open war.
The FARC have publicly accused Mr Uribe Velez of being in league with their right wing paramilitary enemies.
Last September, four alleged members of the FARC were arrested in a plot to put a suitcase with bibles stuffed with explosives at a favourite meeting place of Mr Uribe Velez in the capital Bogota.
Running for president has always been a risky business in Colombia. During the 1990 presidential campaign, three candidates were assassinated by drugs traffickers and right wing paramilitaries.
Now evidence suggests the Marxist guerrillas will also go to any lengths to ensure a candidate opposed to them doesn't make it to election day.
Again it seems , were behind the plot.
Mr Velez has said that if he wins the presidency he will no longer tolerate guerrilla attacks while peace talks are going on threatening to plunge Colombia into all-out war. Jeremy McDermott reports from Colombia:)

Georgia Malir was Ilkley Harriers' star performer in the Northern Cross Country Championships at Liverpool.
The talented teenager stormed to victory in the under-17 women's race, an amazing achievement considering the standard of the competition.
To crown a great day for the Harriers, they had some good team placings too.
The under-13 girls were 15th while the under-15s took 12th position on a day when the organisers provided a good course for racing.
One junior who deserves special praise is Josie Clarke who lost her shoe near the beginning of her race but carried on to finish.
That incident summed up the determination the juniors have.
In the senior men's race Dave Westhead put in a strong performance as he clocked 51:50 to take 171st position in a field of 583.
This was 12km of classic cross-country terrain, with runners forced to negotiate ankle deep, soft slushy snow which Westhead described as "a bit like running in a World War One trench."
Jim Ryder also braved the conditions and finished just over a minute behind Westhead in 52:59 in 201st place.
Ilkley results: Senior men: 171 Dave Westhead 51:50, 201 Jim Ryder 52:59, 583 finished.
Under-17 women: 1 Georgia Malir.
Under-15 boys: 67 Tom Kerr, 84Ruaridh Mon-Williams.
Under-15 girls: 33 Lucy Williamson, 66 Lucy Jacques, 77 Joanne Williamson, 96 Elizabeth Westhead, 102 Ellie Coones, 117 Josie Clarke;
Under-13 girls: 26 Francis Westhead, 101 Robbie Matthews.
Under-13 girls: 104 Alessandra Ricci, 109 Molly Jeffels, 110 Eva Jeffels, 111 Ella Shouler-Harris, 138 Jess Burgess.

Product of the Day: The de-FIB-ulator
SkyMall is an inflight catalogue that--with the help of high altitudes, pressurized cabins, boredom, and a couple scotch and sodas--can make you want to buy anything.
Which brings me to one such "anything": The de-FIB-ulator. This hand-held lie detector is supposed to work by detecting rising levels of tension (or vibrations) in a speaker's voice. If the person you're speaking to is lying, "Demonochio's nose will grow and his horns will appear." Too bad they don't have one for advertising claims.

dl is a file exchange service that allows you to upload any file to a Web server and generate a unique ticket for others to download. The ticket is automatically expired according to the specified rules, so that you don't need to keep track or cleanup afterward. dl also allows you to grant an anonymous, one-time upload for others to send you a file, without the requirement of account management. dl is usually installed as a replacement for email attachments due to its simplicity (though it can be used in other ways).
|File Sharing Email file send support
|Operating Systems
|OS Independent
Release Notes: A new configurable "email" address was added in the preferences, which is used as a default when creating grants and receiving notifications. MySQL and PostgreSQL are now natively supported in addition to SQLite. The authentication has been improved to support LemonLDAP::NG/webSSO USER_EMAIL header in order to provide an email address for the user automatically. The timezone of the Web interface is now customizable.
Release Notes: Several CSRF/SF vulnerabilities have been fixed. The password hashing scheme has been changed to PHPass. The client-side validation of the forms has been improved. The progress-bar upload status has been improved to support PHP 5.4 without additional extensions. DL can now be integrated directly into Thunderbird through a new extension which converts attachments to links automatically.
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug in the initialization code which could cause grant uploads to fail in certain configurations.
Release Notes: The main configuration file is now read from a different location. Notifications of tickets and grants now use the same locale that was used during the creation of the ticket/grant itself. A new "Preferences" page has been added, allowing users to change their password. Changing the ticket lifetime has been fixed. Default ticket/grant expiration settings have been increased significantly. A new REST API has been implemented, allowing external applications to use the service programmatically. Two Python clients have been added to the distribution (graphical and command-line).
Release Notes: This release fixes a grave security issue: unauthorized parties could perform login as any arbitrary user when using the built-in authentication mechanism. DL versions down to 0.3 are affected.

Costa Rica has introduced a new annual tax on all corporate structures, pegged to average public sector salaries.
For 'active companies' registered in Costa Rica, i.e. those undertaking commercial activities, the tax is equal to half the average monthly base salary of a public sector employee. For 'inactive companies', those used to house personal assets but which do not undertake commercial activities, the tax is half this amount, or 25% of the base salary. For 2012, the base salary has been confirmed as CRC360,600 (USD714), meaning the tax for each active company is CRC180,300, and CRC90,150 for each inactive corporate structure.
The law provides for exemptions for not-for-profit corporations, and for small- and micro-businesses, providing they are registered as such with the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Commerce.
With the tax payable by April 30, 2012, the government has introduced transitional measures to allow tax breaks for those seeking to restructure their tax affairs. Taxpayers wishing to dissolve corporate structures by July 2012 may receive exemption from the payment of the tax, and transfers from one corporate to another, or to an individual, will be exempt from transfer taxes otherwise due on this transaction, until October 2012, providing the company has been inactive for at least 24 months prior to the enactment of the law.
The tax has been introduced to fund enforcement projects to tackle organised crime, with proceeds going to the nation's security ministry, "Ministerio de Seguridad Publica".

"...Aid group Action Against Hunger (ACF) warned that the opening of a new front in the east of the landlocked country could worsen an already dire food situation in the remote area. It raised fears 'that an armed ground intervention from Niger will cut the last access route to supply basic goods (food and medicine) to people in the region,' a statement said. 'There are clearly cases of acute malnutrition,' said ACF official Lucile Grosjean, adding that it affected about 20,000 children under 15. She said the price of the staple cereal millet had increased by 38 percent, while fuel has shot up to 66 percent in the past nine months. 'People are surviving on a day-to-day basis,' she said."

7-Eleven: Batter Up
Chicago White Sox set game start time to recognize sponsor.
CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox will be starting games at U.S. Cellular Field at 7:11 p.m. on the dot for the next three seasons, to recognize their sponsor, 7-Eleven, The New York Times reported.
Say goodbye to nearly fifty 7:05 and 7:35 p.m. games. 7-Eleven will be paying the team an average of $500,000 a year to start the games at that time.
"It's a fun way to insert our name into fans' hearts and minds," Margaret Chabris, a 7-Eleven spokeswoman told the Times. "We think it's worth way more than $500,000." She added that 7-Eleven is in talks with other baseball teams about sponsorship deals that would include starting games at 7:11.
The time change was not part of the original plan when the team and the convenience giant were discussing the details of the sponsorship. 7-Eleven wanted a new concept in the more traditional sponsorship, which included 25,000 giveaway coupons at every game, which could strain the Slurpee-making capacity of the 185 local 7-Eleven stores.
When the company recently bought the 202-store White Hen chain, 7-Eleven wanted to increase its presence in a place it considers a growth market. "It made sense to sponsor the White Sox," Chabris told the Times.
The idea to change the starting time came from Ryan Gribble, the team's manager of corporate partnerships. While contemplating the numerals seven and 11 and the ways they could be used during the game, he came to the idea of changing start times.
"Most of our night games started at 7:05, but the first pitch was really at 7:07 or 7:09," Gribble said. Two minutes later did not seem hard to accommodate.
Gribble and Brooks Boyer, the team's vice president of marketing, posed the idea to Jerry Reinsdorf, the team's controlling owner.
"We said, 'What would you think of moving the game times to 7:11?' and he laughed," Boyer told the paper. "Then he said, 'I get it and now it's a matter of figuring out the deal with 7-Eleven.' Two hours later, Ryan had the deal." The creative idea landed an additional $500,000 per year to the deal with 7-Eleven.
Radio and TV stations were informed of the change, and 7-Eleven will buy more air time to promote the leap forward on Monday to Thursday games from 7:05 to 7:11 and the leap back on Fridays from 7:35 to 7:11.
Many factors went into the calculation of additional cost to change the game time, including the value of the exposure that 7-Eleven would receive in the media, on the L.E.D. boards and scoreboards inside the field and from public address announcements.

2012 Hawaiian Natural History Class at Kilauea
Every January, the ENC Biology Department offers Field Problems in Ecology: Tropical Natural History. Destinations for this course have included Belize, Hawaii, and New Zealand. Other destinations may be offered in the future.ENC offers various trips for students to fulfill requirements for different classes. Hawaii, an archipelago of islands with great biodiversity, its own history and rich culture, was the location of the most recent trip. In January 2012, the course title was "Hawaiian Natural History".
On December 28, ten students (Samantha Leach, Laura Smith, Kaitlyn Jo Yoder, Dominic Penson, Chris Jones, Melanie Marchetti, Katie Clifton, Meghan Holden, Kelsey Waddle and Stephen Shenouda), accompanied by Professor Twining, boarded a United Airways flight and took off for the island of Hawai'i. Finally landing on ground, the Hawaiian Natural History Class grabbed their luggage, received traditional leis, and left for their first hotel in Kona, HI to rest and become acclimated to the time change, and the climate change.
While the class was located in a popular vacation spot and the instant desire to sit at the beach was overwhelming, students were challenged to learn, give presentations and experience all they could in a 13 day span, on an island that many only dream of visiting.
After purchasing snorkeling gear and other trip necessities, the van was packed and students headed out for the "Place of Refuge" (Pu'uhonua O Honaunau) to learn about ancient Hawaiian customs and religion, and hear a beautiful song played by a park ranger on the nose flute. Students later had the opportunity to snorkel at Kealekekua Bay, where Captian James Cook, the first European to visit what he called the Sandwich Islands, was murdered in 1779.
The class traveled all over the island of Hawai'i visiting national parks (including Akaka Falls State Park and Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic Site) as well as taking advantage of any snorkeling spot in an attempt to identify animals that lived just off the shore of the Big Island.
The class spent New Year's Eve in Hilo, exploring a diverse and welcoming Farmer's Market, and making frequent stops in the rainforest. Later in the week students went hiking through lava tubes, and down into Kilauea Iki, a volcanic craters while staying in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The trip was filled with wonder, as students were introduced to new species and beautiful landscapes, but as they learned, this seemingly perfect paradise has its setbacks as well. One reoccurring theme was that of invasive species: pretty plants that adapted to Hawaii's climate and took over rainforests, animals brought over as pets, escape and eat native insects or plants endangering not only native, but endemic species. Eruptions from Kilauea have force people to relocate. Kalapana Village, while a perfect ecological example of succession as pioneer species (Ohi'a Lehua) were beginning to grow, was village that was destroyed by lava flowing through it. Tsunamis are an eminent threat as well. Lapahoehoe Point provided the location for one student's presentation on such phenomenon. This park was left in memory of the people who lost their lives in a 1946 tsunami that killed around 150 people.
Throughout the trip, the Hawaiian Natural History Class was exposed to a new culture, landscape, climate and time zone. And while their work was graded, students appreciated the ability to travel and experience something new. Departing from the island, the group said, "Aloha" to an amazing adventure.
The ENC Science Department offers different travel courses each year. If you are interested in taking a science class outside of the ENC campus, taking a travel course could be your perfect opportunity. For more information contact Prof. Jonathan Twining at

Hello all:
I am trying to install Snow Leopard on an external drive from either of my Macs running Lion (2010 iMac and 2006 Macbook Pro). I need to run some software that will not run on Lion (Heredis 1) in order to translate some genealogy files to the GED format. When I try to run the installer - from a retail Snow Leopard disk - I get an error message - "You can't use this version of the application Install Mac OS X with this version of Mac OS X. You have Install Mac OS X 23.1."
I tried using the show package contents trick and there was nothing there to run except a Unix script that did nothing useful.
I looked on the Apple support site for updates to Install Mac OS X with no luck, and I couldn't find any KB articles on the issue.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Have you tried rebooting into the installer by holding down the 'C' key while your Mac boots up? All the 'Install Mac OS X' app does is set the startup disk and reboot, afaik.

Pretty good so far!
Let me clarify come things though-
Distance from ship to bus- Yes, it depends on where the Celebrity docks, but the port entrance is a walk from all the docks. You'll go to one main port entrance (it will be where all the taxis are waiting) Look for the bus station outside of that.
Which Metro train do you take- There is only one. The "green" line stops at the port so when you get to the train (more like a subway) you can only go into Athens.
Which stop? To get closest to the Arcopolis you want to get out at the "AKropolis" station But to get to that one you will need to change from the green line to the blue line and then the red line. See
map. So you take the green line to the Monastriraki station get out, follow the signs to the blue line get on and go to the Syntagma station, get out and go to the red line to the Akropolis station. Leave the subway and you will be across the street from the main entrance. (You could just get off at Thissio but you will be on the back side of the Acropolis site and have to walk a long way to get there. Its easier to do the transfers)
What else would you like to see? Well when you are done with the Acropolis , get back on the subway and go to Syntagma and get out.. you will be where the changing of the guards is. If you walk back about 1/2 towards the Acropolis you will be in the Plaka area (have a nice lunch)
Schedule- I'm not sure you have to worry so much about a train schedule. The subways run fairly regularly. Just time your trip in (from the time you get off the ship) to determine how much time to leave to get back. I would add 45 mins to that time as "buffer" IN case you end up having to walk back to the ship from the train station or something .... Print out the train map and then google on Athens maps, some will transpose the metro lines on the city map and you can plan out where you want to go.
One last comment. Be aware of your surroundings on the green line. It is known for pickpockets and baggage thieves. They will wait until the doors almost close, grab your bag and jump off the train....etc...

JERUSALEM (Jun. 23)
The Jewish National Council today submitted a memorandum to Britain's Palestine Partition Commission, and its representatives will appear before the commission in camera next Monday. Postmaster George H. Webster testified before the commission this morning.
The commission, at a public session, yesterday heard James Ashton, representing the World State Volunteers, advocate an Arab State in the whole of Palestine and Transjordan, with a minority status for the Jews. Mr. Ashton, denouncing the Zionist attitude toward the Arabs, warned that "Isaac will find himself out of step with John Bull." After he had concluded, Sir John Woodhead, chairman of the commission, said that part of the address was outside the commission's terms of reference, since "we are only concerned with partition."
Meanwhile, the Arab Chamber of Commerce telegraphed to the Palestine Government and the British Colonial Office protesting against the army's £250,000 contract given to the Solel Boneh, contracting organization of the Jewish Federation of Labor, for Military buildings at the Sarafend and Acre camps.
A band dynamited a big steel railway bridge near Kalkillia, forcing suspension of traffic. Another band raided and robbed the Tulkarem Reformatory, kidnaping a watchman.

Canker Sore
A canker sore (aphthous ulcer) is a mouth ulcer or sore that is open and painful. They are the most common type of mouth ulcer. Some people notice them on the inside of their lip or cheek. They are usually white or yellowish and surrounded by red, inflamed soft tissue.
A canker sore can be either a simple canker or a complex canker. A simple canker sore reemerges about three to four times every year.. This is a common type in people between the ages of 10 and 20. A complex canker sore is not as common and develops in people who have had it before.
Neither type of canker sores is contagious and usually heal on their own within a week to three weeks, although the pain normally subsides between 7 to 10 days.
Contact your physician or dentist if you develop large sores or an outbreak, or experience excruciating pain, high fever, diarrhea, rash, or headache. Also seek medical care if you are unable to drink or your canker sore hasn't healed within three weeks.
Recognizing a Canker Sore
Signs of canker sores are:
- smallish white or yellow oval-shaped ulcer
- painful red area in your mouth
- tingling sensation in your mouth
In some cases the following symptoms may also be present:
- swollen lymph nodes
- fever
- not feeling well
What are the Causes and Risk Factors?
Your risk for developing canker sores increases if you are a woman or have a family history of canker sores. There are various causes for canker sores; however in some cases the cause cannot be determined. The most common causes include:
- viral infection
- stress
- hormonal fluctuations
- food allergies
- menstrual cycle
- vitamin or mineral deficiencies
- immune system problems
- mouth injury
Diagnosing Canker Sores
Your physician can often diagnose a canker sore just by looking at it. If your doctor thinks a virus, vitamin or mineral deficiency, hormonal disorder, or immune system issue is the problem, or if there is a severe breakout, he or she may order blood tests or take a biopsy of the area.
A cancerous lesion may appear as a canker sore, but will not heal without treatment.
Treating and Ridding Your Mouth of Canker Sores
Canker sores normally heal on their own. To speed up the healing avoid spicy foods, and brush and floss your teeth regularly to keep the area from becoming infected by bacteria.
Pain can be severe at times. You can lessen the discomfort several ways. For example:
- Gargle with mouthwash or salt water. Although it will feel intense at first, it will help reduce pain.
- Mix equal parts water and hydrogen peroxide and apply to your canker sore with a cotton swab. Repeat up to three times a day.
- Apply milk of magnesia up to three times a day.
- Your physician or dentist also can prescribe antimicrobial mouth rinse, antibiotics, corticosteroid ointment, or prescription mouthwash.
Tips to Prevent Canker Sores
You can prevent the recurrence of canker sores by avoiding foods that may have previously caused the outbreak. These often include spicy, salty, or acidic foods. Also, avoid foods that cause allergy symptoms, such as itchy mouth, swollen tongue, or hives.
If your canker sores pop up due to stress, adopt regular stress reduction and calming techniques, such as deep breathing and meditation.
Also, practice good oral health and use a soft toothbrush to avoid irritating your gums and soft tissue. Consult with your doctor to determine if you suffer from any specific vitamin and/or mineral deficiencies. He or she can help design a suitable diet plan or prescribe individual supplements, if needed.

Every year, students and faculty at Waynesburg University embark on mission trips during spring and winter breaks, taking many to far-off places and some to their own backyards in Waynesburg to help those less fortunate.
We understand Waynesburg University touts itself as a service-oriented institution, and we think that is quite commendable.
But what is even more commendable is that this week in January, these 40 students choose to put others ahead of themselves and to commit to a week of focusing on "Mustard Seed Communities" in Jamaica; a medical mission trip to the Bahamas; Trans World Radio, a Christian radio network, in Venezuela; and a mission work camp in Hampton, Ga.
Of course, there are worse places to go in January than the Bahamas or Jamaica. But making the commitment to help others, no matter the climate, should be applauded.
We often wonder why these students give up their winter and spring breaks, considering that the expenses are usually borne by the students. So, why do they do it?
Some may get academic credit if they are in the Bonner Scholarship program, but more than likely they do it because they have a strong sense of service and a selfless drive to help others.
And, sure, the Bahamas is a lot more inviting than Pennsylvania in January.
This is far more than just a trip to the beach. The 10 students and their trip leader, Dr. Terri Small, a professor of nursing at Waynesburg University, will sponsor a health clinic. Most Haitian refugees have little or no access to health care.
By partnering with Mission Academy, a student ministries, short-term mission trip organization, university nursing students will have the opportunity to serve this population.
As Small noted prior to the trip, "I anticipate it will be very rewarding, as in the past, and I expect all to be blessed by the people we serve."
The Jamaica trip includes 12 students will work with disabled and abandoned children in Montego Bay. The service team will provide manual labor and work with children in the children's homes. The 10 students making the trip to Georgia will make home repairs in the community and establish connections with the people they will be serving.
Those at the university who put this and the other mission trips together should be applauded.
The lessons these and all the other students who give of their time could never be taught in a classroom.

Economic Analysis of Earnings in Pakistan: A Case of Sargodha District
This paper investigates human capital and socio-economic factors in order to find out the personal earnings of workers in Sargodha District. The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey data 2007-08 of Punjab has been used. Education and age are used as variables for human capital whereas, gender, age, age square, different classes of age, marital status, area, different education level, employment status, and tehsil dummies are used to investigate the determinants of personal earnings of the workers of Sargodha district. Ordinary least square results explore that education and age plays an important role in the determination of personal wage. Moreover, as the level of education increases the returns to each year of education also increases. Male workers earn more than female which indicates gender discrimination in the labour market. The most productive age is 40-45 years. The individual belongs to rural areas earn more than urban counterparts. When we analyzed the earning pattern in the context of different occupational classes the magnitude of agricultural sector is high. Hence, these facts highlight the importance of a district level growth/economic strategy because the dynamics and geography of each district is different from the other and the earning pattern of a particular district is closely aligned with its demographic conditions.
