At Lucette, you have the luxury of utilizing our full staff to suit your needs.
We work as a team, never locking you in to one stylist. That would limit your options, and we are here for you, after all! Rest assured knowing that each of our stylists is expertly trained in the sophisticated art of hair design, working far beyond the level of training expected at most salons.
After completing state-required education at a cosmetology school, our stylists spend an additional 12-18 months growing and practicing under our most advanced team members. They must test out of each skill before performing it on the floor full-time. Once they have been skill-certified in every technique, we hold a commencement celebration showcasing their talent. Yay!
We don't stop training there, either:
Commitment to our work compels us to stay current in the newest trends and techniques, while maintaining a strong appreciation for classic training. As Aveda-trained stylists, we understand the importance of continuing education, and regularly attend advanced training through prestigious companies such as Sassoon and Arrojo, as well as Aveda's Advanced Academies in Chicago, Minneapolis, New York, and Milwaukee. You benefit with a haircut that maintains its movement and shape longer, and expertly formulated color — customized and placed to suit you perfectly.
You wear your hair every day! Shouldn't it complement you better even than your favorite shirt?
We are not a one-size-fits-all salon. We understand the vast range of choices available to our guests in all areas of life, and know the decisions we make about hair tell a story about who a person is. We want to understand you and your hair goals as best we can, so we can help you reflect your best self — help you find your light.
For this reason, we offer gender-neutral pricing, based on your hair and desired look, rather than your anatomy. We also don't want to restrict your hair color choices, which is why we strongly encourage a color consultation if you are considering changing your color in any way.
We want you to have peace of mind and clear expectations about what the precise cost and timing of your services will be before you make the commitment to sit in a chair for half the day. A professional color service is a many-faceted experience, offering so many avenues of possibility. We can't stress enough how helpful a friendly chat can be to help you weigh your options. We highly recommend and emphasize scheduling a consultation prior to making a color appointment.
Consultations are available at a nominal cost of $20 which will then be applied toward the price of your service, should you decide to make the appointment. This allows the stylist to view and assess your hair so that together you can have a more accurate and helpful discussion. Your stylist will then provide you with a few options and price-points to choose from prior to your service. Some color services may require a deposit to be scheduled.
Please find pricing below. All staff have completed technical skill qualifications, but it does take time to master the art of the consultation. Because of this, we offer two levels based on experience.
All services are booked for a set amount of time in order to keep prices as low as possible. In the event that your desired look requires extra time, a service charge will apply.
Hair services always come complete with your choice of complimentary rituals, such as scalp or hand massage, aroma journey, and more. You may also choose to enhance your service with paid upgrades as well. Please ask for details.

APGA IS UNBEATABLE IN ANAMBRA. PDP IS DAY DREAMING- Tony Oneweek
The immediate past Minority leader of the Anambra state house of assembly Awka Hon Sir Tony Oneweek Muonagor has dismissed the claims of the People's Democratic Party Anambra state as a day dream. He said that as far as Anambra state is concerned, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) is unbeatable.
He was reacting to the Daily Sun publication of Thursday the 9th of August which quoted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as saying the incumbent Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano would be the last All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Governor in the state.
"The next twenty five governors of Anambra state will be from APGA" he said. The former law maker also said that the 2019 elections will be worse for the People's Democratic Party who from experience has never won a free and fair election in Anambra state.
"Why would any sane Anambra person want the return of the PDP in Agu Awka? Can we forget in a hurry the turbulence that pervaded the nooks and crannies of Anambra state during the PDP era? Anambra state was a war zone, leaderless and completely without focus until 2006 when God saved us by bringing APGA"
The ex legislator dismissed as laughable the statements credited to the leader of PDP Reconciliation Committee in the state, Mr. Ngozi Agudozi, who said PDP was ready to return fully in the state. Hon Muonagor querried the basis for Mr Agudosi's claim.
"PDP is in tatters in Anambra and will always have factions and internal crisis because they have no respect for leadership. Primaries will soon be held and we will see five or six of them pasting posters as candidates where only one candidate should emerge. They thrive in confusion"
Hon Muonagor took us down memory lane and insisted that APGA governments have done far better than PDP governments in Anambra state. He recalled the sad and volatile years of Doctors Mbadinuju and Ngige when the PDP held sway and nearly turned Anambra state to Afghanistan, and thanked God for salvaging Anambra state with APGA via Mr Peter Obi, Mrs Virgy Etiaba and now the indefatigable Chief Willie Maduaburochukwu Obiano.
"Today and tomorrow, courtesy of Willie Obiano''s emphatic twenty one over twenty one victory at the last guber election, Anambra totally belongs to APGA and PDP can't do anything about it. APGA HAS COME TO STAY. Anambra has never experienced the kind of peace and progress associated with the humane leadership of Chief Willie Obiano. Never in the history of Anambra state have we had this level of purposeful leadership in all fronts. No Anambra person home or abroad will want the return of PDP. Mbanu!!! It's like taking the Israelites back to Egypt. I am happy that Mr Agudosi said nobody sent him. He is on his own".

Physics as a natural science involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.
Typical careers in physics
One possibly appealing aspect of studying physics is the diversity of physics careers, which are not set in any one direction. Many physics graduates go on to work within research roles, these are spread across many different industries including education, automotive and aerospace industries, defense, the public sector, healthcare, energy, materials, technology, computing and IT.
What can you do with a physics degree?
- Physics careers in technology :- physics graduates can work alongside other specialists in order to develop new ideas and products. They can also works in new coming and potential-rich fields such as robotics, nanoscience and nanotechnology which demand multidisciplinary researchers.
- Physics careers in healthcare :- physics careers in the healthcare sector are numerous. Medical physics overlaps significantly with biomedical engineering to create, review and maintain medical technologies and equipment.
- Physics careers in engineering :- the engineering sector provides many careers in physics, particularly within manufacturing and technology-based roles. Physics graduates are often tasked with improving and developing products and manufacturing processes.
- Physics careers in energy:- there are plenty of careers in physics within the energy sector, whether renewable or non-renewable energy. Alongside the rise of renewable energy, oil and gas companies remain big players in the energy market, in which their major employees are physics graduates.
- Geophysics and meteorology careers:- those who study physics are prime candidates for environmental careers, thanks to their scientific understanding of the ways in which the Earth functions.
Finally, if none of the options above appealed, the physics degree holder could use the mathematical proficiency to enter into the financial world, or the knowledge of technological innovation to head into a relevant field of the legal sector (such as patent law or forensics). Media and entertainment are two more potential industries, where physicists are in demand for roles such as scientific journalism, computer game programming and film special effects. Other options include roles in space and astronomy, teaching, manufacturing, transport, architecture and communications.Undergraduate Study
The Department of Physics grants the Bachelor degree in the science of physics (B.Sc.) after four years of full-time study. The courses and their associated credits for the four years of study are shown in the following tables.
Postgraduate Study
The Department of Physics also offers postgraduate programs (MSc and PhD) with various options of specialization. Although it is possible to enter into scientific research as a trainee or technician with a good undergraduate degree, those looking to pursue long-term careers in research should consider further study.
The main reason to study physics at graduate level is to gain more in-depth, specialized knowledge, to work effectively in a specific field. Potential areas of specialization include astrophysics, particle physics, biotechnology, nanotechnology, meteorology, condensed matter theory, quantum dynamics, applied physics, plasma physics, aerospace dynamics, atomic and laser physics, atmospheric, oceanic and planetary physics and climate science.

• Modern day Health-related Records RETRIEVAL Assistance – AUTOMATION, COMPLIANCE, Personal savings
The modern day Health-related Records Retrieval (MRR) service is a combination of modern day world wide web-based technology and a rules-compliant outsource solution. Traditionally lawyers and their staff would have to established aside a part of their time, normally a good deal of time, to capture needed information and facts for cases that concerned health care records. It truly is not that the method is elaborate. Rather the contrary, just about every attorney, paralegal, and litigation-assist human being is familiar with precisely what needs to be accomplished.
It may show up easy, but it is a extremely manually intense method. Somebody at the agency should admit the require for the records. Required forms should be accomplished to guarantee compliance with a myriad of legislation (such as HIPAA), which the agency and normally the affected individual (who may or may not be the firm's consumer) would require to initiate a ask for. Then, the agency should observe the development of the ask for, and ultimately receive, review, and organize the results, or observe that there were being no health care records obtainable connected to the make a difference.
To assist the enterprise of functioning a legislation practice, sophisticated and inexpensive application equipment contain new consumer/enterprise ingestion, workflow automation, and conflicts administration. Vendors who supply early scenario assessment equipment and e-discovery-based technology-assisted review have begun to supply solutions for compact agency and solo practitioners. In this post, we will display you how you can enhance productivity, lower prices, and improved control billing for MRR bills.
How Health-related Records Retrieval Expert services Operate
Here's how a normal MRR service performs for a compact agency/solo practice. 1 of the firm's personnel logs into a protected, encrypted site. He or she then submits an order outlining the patient's information and facts, the records being requested, and any other information needed to finish the ask for. What happens following is genuinely a recreation-switching action. As a substitute of the firm's billable resources chasing history requests from hospitals, doctors, and other healthcare vendors, they go back again to undertaking other, productive operate, whilst the MRR method self-executes, and ultimately delivers you with the requested information and facts and files or informs you that there were being no responsive files.
Concerns With regards to MRR Expert services
The availability of MRR companies offers all lawyers, but in particular solo and compact companies, with the pursuing important queries:
• How do you begin with an MRR service?
• How are the history requests processed?
• Is this method HIPAA-compliant?
• When and how am I alerted to the standing of my requests?
• How do I distribute the prices/service fees involved with outsourcing health care records retrieval?
Deciding upon Your MRR Service provider
To minimize the chance of picking out the improper MRR service, contemplate the pursuing best procedures:
one) Guarantee that the MRR service can confirm protected entry to its site (and your records) via a login and password.
two) Comprehend the MRR service's procedures to guarantee safety of privateness.
three) Comprehend its service degree agreements, which reveal their method and expected turnaround time.
four) Confirm that the MRR service has practical experience with expediting history requests by requesting a listing of reference purchasers.
five) Review the method by which you and/or your staff are notified of updates, such as history availability or discover of "no history identified."
six) Ask for the MRR service's rate plan, preferably in a format that will allow you to do an apples-to-apples comparison of the service fees of other MRR companies.
When doable, a dedicated MRR service is a improved preference than a agency that presents a multitude of legal practice companies of which records retrieval is only a compact subset of their overall enterprise.
Acquiring Commenced with the MRR Service provider
Upon picking out your MRR provider, the measures to starting off to operate with the provider are clear-cut and equivalent to all those when signing up with any on-line style of service:
• The agency identifies the accepted personnel who are licensed to entry the protected method.
• A one of a kind consumer ID is produced for the agency at this time, with a potent password expected for all long run entry.
• Often, this is also the time that billing information and facts is presented, and consequently a economic account with the agency and MRR is produced for long run invoicing.
• Each individual licensed human being completes a new consumer profile and signal-on ask for. The consumer should supply e mail and telephone contact information and facts.
• It is the responsibility of the law firm to notify the MRR as before long as doable in the occasion that an present licensed consumer ought to be taken out from the entry regulate. The MRR ought to treatment and answer as before long as the consumer entry has been taken out.
• Even though the use of the MRR internet site ought to be fairly simple for most customers with minimal instruction, added internet site assist frequently is obtainable from the MRR's companies personnel via telephone or e mail ask for.
Safeguarding Privacy
No make a difference how helpful the technology, the agency should guarantee compliance of federal and point out HIPAA rules and any moral rules about retaining consumer confidences. Therefore, they should guarantee that the MRR service collects, hosts, and delivers entry to consumer(s) records whilst retaining compliance with privateness rules. Observe: This ought to be portion of your owing diligence when deciding upon a provider.
The MRR Assistance ought to comply with Federal and point out privateness legislation. MRR companies ought to continue to keep up to day with switching rules of privateness this sort of as the HITECH Act.
MRR agreements ought to expressly point out that no individually identifiable wellness information and facts (PHI) can at any time be applied for non-enterprise connected activities this sort of as internet marketing and/or revenue guide technology.
Record Processing
Once you have preferred an MRR service and established up your account, acquiring health care records is somewhat straight-ahead:
• After you enter a ask for into the method, the MRR service makes an MRR history ask for related to the one of a kind ID of the requester (the particular consumer at your agency), and confirms receipt of the ask for via an e mail.
• A reviewer is assigned to assess the needed actions to fulfill the ask for, and will notify the consumer of any queries pertaining to the history ask for. In some states, such as California, an electronic ask for can be executed from the MRR service to the healthcare provider, getting rid of the require for paper-based transaction.
• The provider then tracks the ask for, and conducts any adhere to-up conversation by any signifies obtainable, such as e mail, phone or in-human being visits if needed, to receive clear copies of records requested.
• If the history is obtainable and legible, it is scanned into the protected world wide web-based method for entry by the consumer. Otherwise, a "no history identified" is annotated to the ask for, and communicated back again to the consumer.
Communication Is Vital
Very little can be far more annoying to scenario administration than waiting for wanted information and facts from a third celebration. The MRR service should not only ahead the history ask for to the healthcare provider, but also should supply the agency an ongoing and timely reaction pertaining to standing. Each individual history should be tracked in serious-time with in depth notes from the MRR agents. The MRR service ought to deliver alerts if added information and facts is expected, supply replies via e mail, and provide the connection to down load and/or check out accomplished requests as before long as the records come to be obtainable. All over again, for the duration of the selection method, you ought to ascertain the provider's procedures pertaining to communications, and contain them in the deal.
Speed Is Significant Much too
Acquiring the health care records timely is essential, whether or not to answer to discovery, to make or oppose a movement for summary judgment, to get an qualified up to velocity, or to settle a scenario. A reliable MRR service will supply a brief turnaround. They have the practical experience doing work with health care places to get hold of records more rapidly than a legislation firm's in-property staff. After all, a law firm staff member may encounter (or, in reality, may truly feel like they have gotten caught with) the occasional health care history lookup, but the MRR service is a expert in the method of amassing information and facts, such as "no records identified." So, the MRR service's extremely position is acquiring health care records, and thus will have the method down to a established of particular measures, and can assist their purchasers via a world wide web interface.
Associations With Health care Providers
Often hospitals, physicians' places of work, and other healthcare vendors may take care of the occasional ask for by an attorney for health care records as an inconvenience, not answer as rapidly or potentially as totally as the attorney or consumer would like. A intelligent MRR service will produce prolonged-term relationships with healthcare vendors and their staff to get the information wanted promptly and proficiently. This will enhance the quality of the doc creation, minimize its price, and velocity the method up.
Databases Strength
Health-related records normally can be in a different location or city than the healthcare provider. For case in point, billing records for hospitals are commonly in an offsite facility, at times in a different point out. With the advent of electronic records, far more healthcare vendors are centralizing their records offsite with the umbrella organization of their health care team/hospital. With out the information and facts on how and in which to ask for records, in-property staff can waste valuable time sending requests to the improper places or owning to commit the time to come across out in which to deliver the requests. A potent databases on in which and how to ask for records from healthcare vendors thus is crucial to save time, guarantee finish consequence, and save revenue. MRR companies have the incentive and the resources to produce this sort of a databases. Law companies, in particular solos and compact companies, do not.
In addition the significance on the databases in requesting health care records, it is equally important on the creation aspect. Virtually all health care records are produced in electronic format. Records are commonly obtainable in PDF or TIFF file format, building them searchable by lots of doc administration techniques – such as on premise, cloud-based, world wide web-based or hybrid techniques. They are commonly built obtainable for down load and/or viewing from almost wherever on any system that supports a protected micro-browser. The MRR service maintains the health care records for ongoing entry by the consumer and any licensed personnel.
MRR Charges and other Issues
The MRR service will charge you for their companies. Nevertheless, because the firm's resources are freed up to operate on activities that crank out income for the agency, the prices of working with an MRR service will be offset at the very least in portion, and potentially in full. In addition, dependent on your charge arrangement with your consumer, the invoices from the MRR service may be directly billable back again to the consumer or at the very least accounted for as a recoverable price. (Several MRR companies charge no monthly service fees for owning an account, and consequently the agency only incur service fees on a use foundation, which can then be charged to the cases for which they are expected.)
Even though lots of companies may proceed the "do-it-by yourself" approach, solos and compact companies ought to contemplate working with an MRR service. In addition to the bigger prices of putting in and retaining one's possess history administration method, the soft prices and useful resource intake make this a much less favorable alternative. A certified, experienced MRR service presents a price successful, sturdy platform for processing, monitoring, and tracking health care records requests. Record administration and processing is HIPAA-compliant, constantly obtainable, and protected-which in-property procedures may not be, with the attendant pitfalls. Use of an MRR service does not call for cash expenditure to leverage digitally filed and managed health care records. Business resources can be repurposed from tracking history requests to meaningful and charge-creating activities. Consumer satisfaction may enhance as matters are capable to be processed far more proficiently, and agency enterprise may boost. The results of working with an MRR service are measureable and fast. It truly is pretty much a one-simply click quantum leap from manual, useful resource-significant procedures to a modern day, electronic, protected world wide web based administration for your practice.

(Bloomberg) -- Gone are the days of air mattresses on the floor. Airbnb Inc. is now catering to the mega-wealthy with a new tier of luxury rentals.Airbnb Luxe went live Tuesday morning after long being teased, with 2,000 new listings on Airbnb's website offering guests the chance to stay in some of the world's most extravagant homes. Everything from entire islands to medieval castles and mansions decked out with water slides, dinosaur skulls, and archery ranges are up for rent.The average luxury listing has an asking price of $14,000 a week—but can go as high as $1 million a week for a private atoll near Tahiti that comprises 21 bungalows and a staff of 50.Luxury travelers have been eyeing high-quality home-rentals for a while, says Nick Guezen, Airbnb's global director of portfolio strategy. But the market hasn't offered enough security to high-profile and mega-rich clients who seek privacy, he says. "I think that's something that was missing—the idea of 'I want to travel to a luxury home, but I'm not sure where to find it or who to trust.'"Which is not entirely the case, considering Accor SA-owned Onefinestay, the second-home rental platform ThirdHome, and apartment-rental company Paris Perfect are all established competitors in the space. And Airbnb Luxe itself is essentially a re-branding of Luxury Retreats, a Canadian company that specializes in high-quality listings and was acquired by Airbnb in 2017 for around $300 million. None of the listings on Luxe are new to market, they just now sit under the Airbnb umbrella.The company is betting on the strength of its brand to give it the competitive edge. "People are growing up with Airbnb," said Eshan Ponnadurai, global marketing director of luxury for Airbnb. "Someone that started in their early 20s renting a room at $100 a night and is now growing in affluence may want a room at $1,000 a night."Because Airbnb has become part of the cultural dialogue, renting out your home to a stranger has become legitimized in a sociological sense as well—even to the super-rich, says New York University Professor Arun Sundararajan, an expert on the sharing economy. In the past, those who own multimillion dollar properties might have been reticent to share them with strangers, but today most people know someone who has stayed in an Aribnb, he says. "It feels like a more normal activity and that lowers the barriers to rent out a more expensive home."In 2017, only 36 percent of affluent travelers (those with an income over $100,000) surveyed by Skift Research reported to staying in alternative accommodation or home rentals. This year that number has mushroomed to 59 percent. Luxury LegitimacySince its founding in 2008, Airbnb has upended the travel industry, challenging the big hotel chains and travel sites like Booking Holdings Inc. while also attracting the ire of cities around the world that are seeking to crack down on illegal listings and grappling with rising rents. Conquering the luxury rental market will allow Airbnb to sell itself as a company that can not only comply with official rules, but also cater to the world's richest—and most demanding— travelers. "This is a way for a luxury traveler to book a home without any worries or hassle," Guezen says. "We can give them something that is vetted and can be trusted."In April, it took over 10 floors of New York's 75 Rockefeller Plaza with plans to convert them into 200 overnight apartment-style suites. In May, Airbnb added high-profile luxury retail executive Angela Ahrendts to its board of directors. Ahrendts, 58, spent five years overhauling Apple Inc.'s retail operations and, prior to that, transformed Burberry into a global luxury brand. This new luxury tier represents a lucrative revenue source as well, even if Luxe's 2,000 listings pale in proportion to the more than 6 million listings available on the general site. The company takes a percentage of the cost of each booking it arranges, so more-expensive inventory generates higher margins and helps justify the privately held company's $31 billion valuation. Under Airbnb Luxe, the entire fee is coming from the host and the percentage depends on the market and the type of partnership arranged with homeowners, Guezen says, but declines to give any specifics as the fees vary too much between properties. The global luxury travel market is worth more than $200 billion, and analysts expect it to continue growing.Trip DesignersThe biggest difference booking under Luxe vs. Airbnb's regular or higher-tier Plus listings is free access to a trip designer, who arranges check-in logistics, local bespoke experiences, and services from childcare to private chefs or in-house massage therapists. (While novel for Airbnb, this sort of high-touch service, similar to that provided by Onefinestay's dedicated concierges, is standard in super-high-end home rentals.)Airbnb's 20 trip designers will be available to guests around-the-clock for VIP support. Some have already handled bizarre requests during Luxe's pilot phase, such as building a temporary basketball court in Los Cabos, Mexico, for an NBA player or cordoning off a section of a jungle in Tulum for a high-profile family to cave dive in private. Homeowners or their representatives must apply to be part of Luxe. Each property is reviewed by an internal team that runs through a 300-point check list scrutinizing everything from the home's design qualities and architecture to the quality of its linen and the water pressure in its showers. Listings include the Fleming Villa in Jamaica where Ian Fleming penned his James Bond novels and a medieval castle in the Tuscan countryside with nearly 100 acres of land for hiking and harvesting local produce. Many of the homes are owned by megawealthy families, including billionaires and celebrities, Guezen says. Some own multiple properties around the world and rent up to half a dozen through the site, he says. In order to protect the host's privacy, guests are never told who owns the property and each home is stripped of anything that could personally identify them, like a bedside photograph or snail mail. Staff are advised not to disclose the identity of hosts or guests and each property is insured by Airbnb's standard $1 million guarantee to cover any damages. Guezen says these super-rich hosts rent out their vacation retreats not only to monetize their assets, but also to ensure that the properties are well-oiled for their own stays. The move into luxury rentals is the next step in Airbnb's plan to diversify its business ahead of an initial public offering likely next year. The company has been working toward becoming an end-to-end travel platform that can one day help travelers book flights through the site. Earlier this month it expanded its Experiences platform to include adventure tourism, offering travelers the chance to search for UFOs in Arizona or track lions on foot with Samburu guides in Kenya.Airbnb says the launch of Luxe helps meet increasing demand for luxury properties. In 2018, the number of Airbnb bookings for listings worth at least $1,000 a night increased by more than 60 percent, according to the company. "Today's luxury traveler is craving more than just high-end accommodations," Airbnb Chief Executive Officer Brian Chesky said in a statement. "They seek transformation and experiences that leave them feeling more connected to each other and to their destination." Example Luxe ListingsCaribbean Literary HavenYou can book a stay at the Fleming Villa in Orcabessa, Jamaica, where Ian Fleming found inspiration for his James Bond novels.

Red kidney beans soaked overnight
1 big onion (grated)
1 big tomato (grated)
1 tsp of ginger paste
1 tsp of garlic paste
½ tsp cumin seeds
Red chilli powder as you wishes
1 spoon turmeric powder
1 tsp garam masala
Fresh bunch of coriander leaves
Salt as per taste
Method to cook
First wash the kidney beans and put them into pressure cooker to boil them with enough water and add some salt to it, pressure cook for atleast 20 minutes and then you can open the cooker and check if the beans are soft or not, if not pressure cook them again. Once kidney beans are boiled, start making your paste for gravy. Take a pan put 3 tsp of cooking oil in it and add cumin seeds to it, then add grated onion, after few minutes add ginger, garlic paste to it, when the paste starts turning into golden color, put turmeric, red chilli, garam masala and little salt to it (remember u have put salt while boiling also) then add grated tomato to the paste, now let the paste simmer for a while, paste will start looking like a thick red gravy, now u can add kidney beans to it and if needed add some water to the gravy. Let it simmer for sometime till the gravy and the beans get mix well.
Garnish it with freshly cut coriander and serve hot with naan or rice.

The John Lewis Christmas Ad 2014 – Translated

Amateur – a person who engages in a study, sport, or other activity for pleasure rather than for financial benefit or professional reasons.
I made it clear from the start that this blog would cover professional sports and public relations, not just sports in general. That's because non-professional sports, which in the United States refers almost entirely to college sports, involve mostly people my age who shouldn't be held to the same level of public scrutiny as their professional counterparts. Simply put these amateurs are younger, less mature, and as such can fly under the radar.
However, college athletes aren't the only amateurs in the world of sports. I'm stretching the definition a little here, but NFL referees are amateurs as well. That may come as a surprise to some of you, who assumed that refs would be full professionals just like the players they officiate. It's true though, NFL referees are part-time employees. Yes, they derive financial benefit from their services, but they are not referees by profession. They either work other jobs in addition to reffing or are retirees looking for something to do with their free time.
"Ok, NFL refs are amateurs, so what? Why does this matter?"
Well, how many times have you heard about questionable decision making and blown calls by the referees this season? There have been several instances of bad reffing this season, and many are calling for change. The NFL has enough problems on its hands as it is, and throwing consistently bad officiating into the mix is enough to drive millions of football fans away from the game. Professional athletes shouldn't be held back by amateur officials; it cheapens the sport and simply isn't fun to watch.
This goes beyond a simple "integrity of the game" problem though. The NFL gets flooded with bad press every time a ref blows a call, which in 2016 at least has been on an almost weekly basis. This is a PR nightmare and unless the NFL does something soon, lower TV ratings might be the least of their problems. Am I saying they should make NFL reffing a full-time job? There might be too many roadblocks to make that happen, but at the very least they need to address this as a league, to prove that they actually care (and are working on some sort of solution). When certain crews are becoming known for bad officiating, it's time to make big, permanent changes before fans decide that they'd rather just watch college football, where the players are amateurs as well.

For all us photographers, travel and photography are activities that typically go together. Perhaps there is the random photographer out there that refuses to bring their camera along on vacations, but I think most of us can relate to James Wheeler's latest video.
Granted, not all of your vacations will have a primary emphasis on the images captured, but let's face it, you'll still probably have your camera handy. With that in mind, knowing that we each will probably want to head home with a decent collection of new views recently stored on the memory cards, these simple steps can help you plan out your trip to make the most of your time and come home with the best shots possible.
I think one of my favorite pieces of advice from this video is to take the time to consider how your images will be used. Are they primarily for social media, for microstock photography, direct stock photography, print sales, personal and family use? Not only does having those end uses in mind help you pick out your locations, but it will even have a direct effect on how you choose to frame up and compose each shot, because you are shooting for specific outlets. You'll have to watch the rest of the video for the other tips, but make sure to comment below if any of the advice makes a difference for you and how you plan your trips.
1 Comment
I agree that it is important for everyone to come back home from a trip with a decent collection of new views on your memory card. Your post includes some thing to consider, thanks for sharing! I want to add that it is possible to use photography sites from https://travelsites.com/photography/ to be ready for the long trips. I find this collection to be useful, maybe it will help someone.

Dear Friends,
The Sisters of the Divine Compassion are deeply committed to the extension of DACA and are concerned about the outcome of the proposed Dream Act of 2017. In that spirit, we ask that you join voices in support of new legislation by contacting your congressional reps ASAP. Follow this link and enter your zipcode to find your Congressional representatives' contact information.
We fully endorse the statement from LCWR that follows. Please read the RDC statement which has been posted and remains on our website Homepage.
Sr. Laura (Lori) Donovan, RDC, for the Leadership Team: Alice Feeley, Mary Ann Kinsella, Carol Peterson, Kristin Donworth
LCWR Statement
The Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) shares the disappointment of millions of people across the country who had hoped and prayed that President Trump would continue the protection offered Dreamers by Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). DACA is a common sense path to stability for families, communities, and local economies and a reaffirmation of American values. Ending DACA will cause irreparable harm to families and communities and force 800,000 of our young people back into the shadows.
In the wake of this unconscionable action by President Trump, we urge Congress to immediately take up and pass the bipartisan Dream Act of 2017.
As women of faith we take seriously the gospel call to welcome the stranger and care for those in need. LCWR and its members will continue to press for compassion for our neighbors, relief for families, and an end to needless deportations. "We will continue to advocate for bipartisan legislation that addresses our outdated immigration system," said LCWR Executive Director Sister Joan Marie Steadman, CSC. "We will continue to stand in solidarity with families, regardless of immigration status, who labor daily to provide safety and security for their children. We will continue to walk with Dreamers and together with people of goodwill we will work to ensure that the dignity of all people is fully protected."
Catholic sisters have a long history of accompanying immigrants and refugees. They continue to minister to these aspiring citizens in schools, hospitals, and service agencies along the southern border and across the country. They see the devastating effects of the current immigration system every day. They share the hopes and dreams of these young Americans who represent so much of what is right and good about this country we all call home.

Chef's Table
Welcome to a nearly mystical dinner, just for the few, a true experience of a lifetime! What's more exciting than a top chef cooking your food in front of you, just for you and a small number of guests? In this type of event, your chef prepares your dishes, and cooks as he would have if you had booked in a restaurant. However, the process here is two-way: The meal is prepared right before your eyes, you can submit your questions and wade into specific details, describe your impressions and enjoy the meal all together. The whole process combines the prestige of a rare dinner with learning, a ritual of flavors with the spirited debate between people who share the same passion. Note: The Chef's Table could be an excellent, beyond the trivial, idea for members of a private club for example, the board of a scientific or professional association, etc. But one should keep in mind that the number of participants in these events is extremely limited, so booking in advance is necessary.

Hi Vanessa
Have you ever seen a 6495 model Rolex?
I have one that I bought in 1990 from an antique watch dealer in Hong Kong.
Shop is still there today.
I have just had it serviced by a Rolex Tech. and he tells me it is a 1956 or 58 yr. of manufacture, I can't remember for sure which yr.
The serial number is 185285. It is a very nice watch, and is keeping great time.
I am using it daily. The case is starting to show a little pitting in the gold plate in some places. I know there is a lot of different schools of thought about repairs etc. but if I wanted could the case ever be replated?

Interesting information on servicing.
One question, I note you say that you put watch 'face up' in safe overnight. Is there a correct way to lie a Rolex down eg at night on bedside cabinet, I rest mine on the side, is this incorrect?

Farmer's daughter's post is much like the story of my wife's watch in another thread - a 50 (ish) yr old Oyster Perpetual (no date) that has hopefully been resurrected by a local watch technician (miracle worker!) after being told Rolex didn't want to know! I should have read these other threads before asking stupid questions! Thanks for the interesting details explanation, and keep up the good work... Cheers, Jeff (currently an Omega wearer)

Where to have my watch service and have it look nearly new.
I bought an Explorer II in 1987. It is a cream/rail dial and Im considering sending it to Rolex in Dallas to have it cleaned with strict instructions to refurbish replacing the bezel and crystal, leaving the original dial and hands.
I've worn the watch since I purchased, therefore the crystal has some chips around the edges, the bezel and case are scratched from wear and the black markings have been gone for years.
Overtime even one of the hinges on the clasp wore through and I had that piece of the hinge replaced.
I was in New York recently, window shopping on 47th when I was stopped and informed that I was wearing an extremely desirable watch. I thought the guy was nuts, but when I got back to Kansas City I googled the watch and discovered that it is somewhat of an anomaly.
Presently it runs fast and I have not been able to find anyone local to clean and adjust the watch to the accuracy that it once had.
I read that others have sent their watch to Rolex for service and have had them returned completely refurbished replacing only the pieces that Rolex still had available from the date of original manufacturing, respecting the owners desire to not replace the face and dials.
If possible, I would like to have it brought back so the appearance is close to new like the example below from the link above.
I have no intentions of ever selling the watch, however I do know from other items I own, especially firearms and optical devices, that changing their patina have significant impact upon their rarity.
Thank you in advance for your opinions.

Not too long - just right. I've not sent my Rolex for service yet, but have sent my Panerai and IWC. The process, I hope is similar. Thanks for the insight.

Vanessa, Like many here, I too wish to thank you. I don't think your discussion was too long, I loved it!
I just dropped my child off at the Rolex Service Center here in Dallas. I am amazed at the technology of the watch and your skill! Thank you!

Hi Vanessa, out of curiosity, do you work on "vintage" Rolex watches? Apparently Rolex does not service vintage watches (or very few of them, and only if they have the parts but I spoke to someone at Rolex Canada and so did a local Rolex dealer and they said that they don't service vintage 1960's-era watches).

Problem is, now that I know what 'they' are going to do to my beloved watch, I am terrified that 'they' are going to screw it up somehow. It seems just so complicated!
What are the chances of getting a person as good as Vanessa working on your watch?
Hmm, especially as the watch is working 'perfectly'.

Where to go for service in Santa Cruz, CA area?
My wife's watch has been serviced twice and it's stopped again. I need to find someone who can do a better job. The last time I had it serviced, I could swear that I could hear a light grinding as I moved it around to wind it. I never liked that sound and now that the watch has stopped, I am sure that the service center didn't do a quality job.
I have an Explorer II and I have never had it serviced. It's been about 12 years now. It still runs perfectly and I am a bit paranoid after the experience with my wife's watch.
In any case, if someone could recommend a place near Santa Cruz, CA that they have had a good experience with, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Vanessa,
Im new here in this forum. I am a happy owner of a GMT Master II 16710, but so disappointed today due to the result of a servicing done to my watch.
I just like to ask some information about the service. Mine had been with me for almost 5 years now, so I sent it for its first servicing beginning this month. It took about 3 1/2 weeks. So last night I picked it up from the Rolex dealer shop here in dubai. To my shocked, 4 out of the 12 indexes have black dotted marks right at its center and an almost teardrop shape black marks on the 12 oclock index. Would you have any idea if what it could be ? I am so afraid that the guy who did the service ruined my Rolex watch. I returned the watch today for re-servicing and to correct what had been done,hoping that its only dirt, but so annoyed on the people who handled my complain, as if implying that those marks were cause by wear and tear in its 5 years of usage. Is what they say possible that those dials scratched those indexes? Do you use some sort of clamp when handling the dials and face when cleaning it? sorry I have not been able to take photos, since i was so irritated and rushed to return it.

That does sound to me like a damage caused by the watchmaker, if you didn't have this problem before. You did good by returning it, and I hope they'll fix it as needed. If it's dirt that doesn't come off, they should replace the dial.
The most likely reason this was caused is by putting the dial upside down on a dirty surface.
Good luck.

Hello! Thank you for this post. May i just check with you and take from your expert opinion. I recently purchased a NOS bnib 16610lv Z series about 1.5 weeks ago.
Would you recommend that i have it serviced? Everything seems to be in check so far. I wear it everyday to monitor any problems. Time is accurate so far comparing with my other automatic watches. I've showered with the watch and washed it under running water a few times. No problems so far.
Many thanks in advance!

Do you mean I wound it 40 times(turn the dial knob 40 times)? Then next month I wound 40 times again?
I hardly wear my watch, may be 5 times a year.

I wonder if we send our Rolex to the RSC to service... How do we know if our 100% original "new" movement (that never been open case before one) would be accidentally replaced by other "used movement" ? Is there any movement chassis number or something that engrave on the calibre which can make sure it is our own movement?

Hi Vanessa,
Thanks for sharing that.
Personally I think $400 odd dollars for all that is a bargain. Here in the UK we pay about £400 for a service... Which is a lot more i.e. $635. Perhaps you might suggest to someone that the British align their prices with the US, bearing in mind the exchange rate, to more accurately reflect your price of a service i.e. £252? Pretty please... ;)
Just had my 1999 Rolex White Gold Day Date serviced... And I have to say, WOW! It came back looking near as good as new. Last year it suffered a little scratch on the case (occurred when I was sailing in the Med)... Nothing too deep mind you, but enough to clearly notice it every time I wore it and think "Drat!". Then, when it came back from Rolex in St. James Square, London, it had vanished! Perfect.
Still... Despite that... What really makes me feel the service is worth every penny is the 2 year service guarantee... AWESOME!

According to Insights2020 – Driving Customer-Centric Growth, the businesses which outperform competitors in terms of revenue growth have shown the highest level of customer-centricity (over-performers), while those with the lowest revenue growth show the lowest level of customer-centricity (under-performers). Insights2020 is the largest global study of its kind, involving 350+ in-depth qualitative interviews with senior marketing and insights leaders, and quantitative survey responses from over 10,000 practitioners in 60 markets. The initiative is led by Millward Brown Vermeer in partnership with ESOMAR, LinkedIn, Korn Ferry, Kantar, and the Advertising Research Foundation.
Insights2020 builds on the Marketing2020 , a study that explored how global CMOs align marketing strategy, structure, and capability with business growth. The findings from Marketing2020 were also featured as the July 2014 cover story of the Harvard Business Review.
The results of the first wave of Insights2020 research are conclusive: there is a positive correlation between customer centricity and revenue growth over-performance. So, what are the drivers of customer centricity and how do we achieve customer centricity? Insights2020 uncovered ten drivers of customer centricity which can be grouped within three key dimensions: Total Experience, Customer Obsession and the Insights Engine.
The first dimension of customer centricity is total experience. Customers expect more than good products or services: they want a seamless and consistent brand experience that is built on a clear purpose for why the brand exists. Winning organizations understand this: 80% of over-performing companies are invested in ensuring that all activities are purpose-led, compared to only 32% of under-performers. Great brand purpose is based on a mix of inside-out factors (brand DNA, credibility, heritage, founder's passion) and outside-in factors (customer needs, white spaces, societal shifts). As part of delivering a total experience, over-performers are more likely to use data-driven insights to customize their offer (73% vs. 31%). This can range from customizing the actual product to customizing service, pricing, distribution or other elements of the marketing mix. In addition to customizing offers and adding 'depth' to customer relationships, , over-performers are very much focused on delivering 'breadth' – using Insights & Analytics to create a consistent experience across all touch points (64% vs 29%).
Driving customer obsession throughout the organization is the second dimension of customer centric growth. Taking the voice of the customer into account in every business decision is a key differentiator between over-performers and under-performers (87% vs 22%). This means that the customer centricity strategy must be embraced by all functions (79% vs 13%) of the company. Customer obsession should apply to all internal processes and decisions, as well as to all external partnerships and relationships. Over-performers tend to have much more strategic clarity because the customer centricity strategy is a priority for top leadership (91% vs 48%). Another way to embed customer obsession across the organization is to use a set of KPIs that drive the right behaviors. Over-performers base incentives on customer-related KPIs (45% vs 25%), motivating employees to bring customer centricity to life. Finally, culture and leadership are an essential part of this dimension. Culture at over-performing organizations is skewed more towards 'embracing risk and experimentation.' In addition, over-performers tend to have a much more collaborative cultural environment.
The Insights2020 results show a third dimension of customer-centric growth: the mindsets, role and impact of the insights engine. Fifty-one percent of over-performers indicate that Insights & Analytics are leading their business. This is four-times greater than the scores from under-performing companies and indicates that in these firms, Insights & Analytics are influencing all parts of the business planning cycle. To do this, we see some important changes emerging from the past. Winning Insights & Analytics groups are evolving from the traditional support function role to one of a pro-active team player, providing scenario planning and recommendations, and ultimately being regarded by the rest of the business as a fully integrated business partner. The findings also highlight the differences between over- and under-performers in the instances of Insights & Analytics leaders that report directly into the CEO. For over-performing organizations this percentage is almost three times as high.
Evolving to a world where Insights & Analytics take a leading role in the business requires a significant change in the critical capabilities of the people and the Insights & Analytics organization itself. The results of Insights2020 showed differences between over- and under-performers in terms of the Insights & Analytics profile: over-performers demonstrated more of a business context mindset, more of a whole-brain approach, and they are better story tellers than their under-performing counterparts. Having this business sense and preparation to have a leadership conversation is probably the most essential first step for Insights & Analytics to take on the path to a more leading role in the organization.
The first wave of Insights2020 results has identified very clearly what solutions, cultures, structures and capabilities are more prominent at over-performing, customer-centric organizations. The ten drivers of customer-centric growth will be essential enablers of growth as the increasingly connected consumer allows us to understand their unique needs and behaviors in detail and traditional competitive advantages become commodities. Insights2020 proves that the brands and organizations that first adopt customer-centric strategies are reaping a competitive advantage and driving revenue growth faster than their competitors. To drive growth focus on the three dimensions: Deliver a Total Experience to your customers; build a Customer Obsessed organization; and create a powerful Insights Engine that allows you to harness all the possibilities the new Insights & Analytics has to offer your business.

LONDON (ICIS)--Arab Potash Company (APC) has announced a 41% year on year increase in net profits for 2017, banking Jordanian dinar (JD) 90.4m ($127.5m) after taxes, provisions, and mining royalties, the mineral fertilizers producer said on Monday.
The company, which primarily produces muriate of potash (MOP) for export, sold 2.36m tonnes of the crop nutrient last year – an increase of 16% from its 2016 total, and a new record for APC's operations.
APC's consolidated sales revenues hit JD423m last year, up 15% from 2016's JD370m.
The company's chairman Jamal Al-Sarayrah attributed the rise in sales to stronger demand in key markets, including China and India, as well as steadily increasing potash prices.
Arab Potash's production capacity is now more than 500,000 tonnes/year, according to Al-Sarayrah, who added that the firm had cut 11% off its cost per tonne production ratio through savings related to the use of natural gas as an alternative to heavier fuels.

In the early phases of Structural Integration training, students begin to become aware of the fascial envelopes that line the pelvic basin, abdomen and inner thorax – and of the amount of work it will take to release and mobilize these fascial layers!
Once this awareness is incorporated into practice, several things become obvious in clinic. For example, this is where we realize that it is the norm to find the iliacus and iliopsoas layers adhered to the sides of the pelvic basin and lateral anterior edges of the lumbar spine. It is the norm to find the visceral omentum adhered to the sides of the abdominal cavity, and fascial adhesion between the abdominal musculature and the omentum. And, of course, it is the norm to find the pelvic floor and respiratory diaphragm adhered to the inferior edges of the pelvis and inner thorax.
Because all these adhesions limit the mobility of the core and its ability to transfer breath and motion through the body's vertical center, mobilizing the fascial layers lining the inferior margins of the pelvic basin is key to mobilizing the pelvic floor. Mobilizing the fascial layers adhered to the anterior surfaces of the pelvic basin is key to mobilizing the sacrum and creating lumbar balance. And mobilizing fascial layers adhered to the abdominal cavity is key to easing rotation of the visceral omentum and supporting the diaphragm's ability to move within the thorax.
As we become aware of the interconnections between these fascial envelopes and the body's transverse diaphragms, we can understand how adhesion deep within the abdomen with cause the pelvis to rotate and limit the mobility of both the pelvic floor and respiratory diaphragm. And we can understand how rotation of the lower end of the core will spiral through the entire body.
Although it may sometimes seem tedious, there is no substitute for simply spending time working in these cavities to discover what needs to be released. Nor is there a shortcut to having to release and mobilize these fascial layers and diaphragms before being able to mobilize the core.

WebPLL is the lossless version of WebP, an image format released by Google in 2010 with the declared objective of improving browsing times. WebPLL images are aimed to offer the same quality as other standard image formats used online, such as JPEG and PNG, but in a smaller size. Although received with enthusiasm, the two Google formats are still not compatible with some browsers and viewers, and have features that need to be developed in the future for wider accessibility.
PLT is a vector image format representing the HPGL standard language developed by Hewlett-Packard for printing line drawings. HPGL is supported by AutoCAD and other CAD software programs. PLT files represent plotter images that can be printed using a computer printer specialized in vector graphics (called "plotter"), which renders images as lines not as dots.
The quick and simple way to handle your files is to get a quality piece of software, such as reaConverter. Although it is fast, this software is extremely efficient in managing a wide range of conversions. As you will soon realize, reaConverter will help you avoid spending countless hours trying to figure out how to convert WEBPLLs. But at the same time, it will allow you to apply a wide range of editing options.
reaConverter is quick to download, install and launch, and you don't need to be an IT specialist in order to understand in a few minutes how it operates.
Start reaConverter and load all the .webpll files you intend to convert into .plt because, as opposed to most free online converters, reaConverter supports batch conversion. So you can save the time and energy you would lose with doing repetitive operations.
Select WEBPLLs from a folder or by drag-and-dropping them directly into the reaConverter window.
Go to the Saving options tab and decide where you want to save new .plt files. You can also spend a few more moments to apply additional editing to the images prepared for conversion.
Then pick the PLT as output format. To help you do this, a series of buttons is conveniently placed at the bottom of the reaConverter window, so you can simply press on the one you need or click Plus button to add new options.
Then simply press the Start button and your conversion will begin in no time!Try Free Trial Version
Advanced users can convert WEBPLL to PLT via command-line interface in manual or automated mode. You are welcome to contact our technical support when you have any questions about reaConverter.Download reaConverter Pro with CLI
