Webanywhere can create bespoke Extended Enterprise Learning solutions, delivering online training beyond your organisation. Make partnerships more successful, customers happier, and training content into a revenue stream.
Most businesses are aiming to expand their regional or global footprint, and many are making more and more use of their network to streamline and speed up this growth. This process is Extended Enterprise – developing your network of suppliers, retailers, resellers and even customers into business partners who can work with you in improving and growing your company through knowledge sharing, sales and marketing.
Relying on 3rd parties to help develop your business outside the control of your own four walls brings a new set of challenges – how do you train and support the network sufficiently to maximise the potential of a much wider and diverse group of people, while also maintaining the integrity of your brand?
At Webanywhere we've worked with some of the world's largest and best-known companies, delivering Extended Enterprise eLearning – strengthening partner relationships and profitability, and improving customer satisfaction through online training.
Through e-commerce integration with the LMS (learning management system), we've also helped some of our clients to sell their elearning content – even generating profit from materials developed to train their own staff.
Extended enterprise training for your retailers and VARs (Value Added Resellers) could also deliver accreditations on successful completion. Visible certification can boost their credibility, helping to generate more revenue through them, but also boost the authority of your own brand.
The many benefits of an extended enterprise LMS and learning content include:
Cost saving
Less face to face time required, saving travel time for your partners or your consultants.
Partner support
Strengthening the relationships between you and your suppliers / distributors / resellers.
Adding credibility to your partners and authority to your brand.
Customer satisfaction
If your customers understand how to use your products, they will be more likely to use, enjoy and recommend them.
Revenue generation
Why not recoup the costs of developing training materials you have developed by adapting them and selling them online?
Risk management
Make sure that your partners know how to work with and promote your products and services, minimising risks of mistakes that could be associated with your brand.
Learning at the speed of need
Alert partners and customers, and roll-out updated elearning content to thousands of recipients as quickly and easily as you could to an individual.
Knowledge sharing

On Monday, May 9, 2016, we celebrated our first wedding anniversary. We both had to work that day, but we wanted to do something to make the day special.
So, I decided to kill two birds with one stone. Do something special and check #46 off of my 101 Things List: bake and decorate a cake.
The cake? A recreation of the groom's cake Matt had at our reception.
Mmmmmm. Wasn't it beautiful? Matt's cousin Kate, a baker and entrepreneur, is seriously talented. This was a rich, thick pound cake with homemade vanilla custard and layers of sliced strawberries. We both liked it better than the actual wedding cake, and I thought it'd be fun (and special) to recreate it for our first anniversary, especially since eating leftover cake on this day is a tradition we couldn't take part in (because we ate the leftovers on the honeymoon...).
So, on May 8, one day before the big day, I got busy.
I made a pound cake completely from scratch.
We put the custard in the fridge to cool overnight and tried not to eat any pound cake. After work the next day, May 9, our actual anniversary, we worked together to assemble it all.
The final product:
I think we did pretty great. It wasn't as pretty as the one Kate made for our reception, but it was a good attempt, and it actually tasted pretty darn close!
So that night, we cuddled up on the sofa, turned on The Search for General Tso on Netflix, and ordered General Tso's chicken and steamed rice from China Palace. Then we shared our special creation for dessert.

Information For
Center for Access & Attainment > TRIO SSS > McNair Scholars Program
The McNair program prepares carefully selected undergraduate students who are from low-income and/or first-generation college families, or who are members of underrepresented groups, for doctoral study and faculty careers. It is a challenging program that provides opportunities for undergraduate research and faculty mentoring along with intensive advising and assistance with the graduate school admission process.
The McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Program at DePaul University is a U.S. Department of Education TRIO program supported 65 percent in federal funds and 35 percent in DePaul funds for the 2016-17 academic year.
Program Overview
The McNair Scholars Program is designed to build knowledge and skills, improve educational planning and decision-making, and expand participants' horizons and community to enable them to be competitive candidates for graduate study with the goal of completing doctoral degrees.
The program involves participants in a specialized curriculum and set of activities including seminars, coursework, faculty-supervised research, tutoring and field experiences to develop their knowledge and skills and foster the commitment needed to pursue doctoral studies and a career of university-level teaching and research. Students also participate in faculty mentoring, build academic networks with professors at DePaul and other institutions, and receive the resources and support to study and conduct research abroad.
McNair students are required by their senior year to complete a number of scholarly activities as they prepare to apply for graduate school and graduate funding opportunities. These activities, among others, include attending a summer research program, presenting their independent research projects at professional conferences, completing a study abroad experience and visiting potential graduate schools.
Research and Study Abroad
For the last five years, the McNair Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) program has been providing faculty-supervised research experiences to expose McNair Scholars to independent academic research, while simultaneously instilling research skills and experience that makes them more competitive candidates on graduate applications and for future graduate-level work.
Through the SROP, McNair participants spend a summer at DePaul or another institution, studying and conducting research with a faculty member in their chosen field. McNair participants also have the option of completing the Summer Research Service Experience (SRSE) program which is coordinated by DePaul faculty that takes students abroad for a summer of research and service at a partner university. The SRSE adds an international travel and service component to a student's summer research experience.
Listed below are some of the colleges and universities at which McNair participants participated in the Summer Research Opportunity Program from 2000 to 2017.
Program Outcomes
McNair has helped to draw institutional attention to the fact that a mission-based commitment to educational opportunity does not have to be defined in minimal terms.
Thanks to McNair, between 1999 and 2012, 95 students (totaling 75 percent of McNair graduates) who entered DePaul with an average ACT score of 22 have enrolled in graduate programs. Five of them have earned a doctorate, and three are currently working as faculty.
Historically, the DePaul graduation rate for McNair participants has been close to 100 percent. More than 80 percent of students continue to graduate school within three years of graduating from DePaul.
Listed below are some of the colleges and universities at which McNair participants enrolled for graduate study from 2000 to 2017.
How to Apply
To be eligible for the McNair Scholars Program at DePaul, students must meet all of the following criteria:

Wild animals are vulnerable to an enormous variety of threats in nature. The threat of physical injury is one of the most common. Nonhuman animals are often injured, sometimes resulting in death. The actual wounds may kill the animals, or their injuries may cripple them in ways that are fatal, such as certain types of mutilations. In other cases, even though they survive, their wounds cause a lot of suffering, especially from chronic pain when injuries do not heal properly.
Most physical injuries are due to inter and intra-specific interactions (e.g., predation or territorial disputes) but other natural causes may also cause injuries, such as flying accidents or exposure to excessive heat.
The condition of an injured animal is usually aggravated by the risk of infection and associated diseases. Some of the complications that can result from injuries in the wild are discussed below.
Many attacks do not succeed. Often, animals manage to escape a pursuer even when initially captured – see, for example, this video on a wildebeest escape.1 But terrible injuries may result from attacks by predators, which are usually sudden and brutally violent. They can involve compression, stretching, torsion, and puncture of tissues. Predators are the most common cause of injury, though physical trauma can also occur during interaction with members of the same species.
Survival strategies may injure animals even in their daily interactions. For example, animals chase and fight each other to protect territory or social structure, or, to establish a new social or mating hierarchy, (as among bears2 and ferrets3) or to protect their young.4 Also, competition for food, water, bedding, or other basic needs may lead to such aggressive behavior that injury becomes systematically involved.
Scientific evidence suggests that rape (sometimes referred to as forced copulation) is observed among some nonhuman animals, such as some species of waterfowl,5 bottle-nosed dolphins, and primates.6 The victim usually struggles and attempts to escape and is often immobilized by the attacker. In some cases it results in severe injury from actions like scalping (tearing the skin over the head) in waterfowl. The rape attempts can be made individually or in groups, like the "rape flights" performed by groups of drakes.7 The risk of injury is high and the severity of the act may lead to the drowning of the assaulted animal.8
Many animals sustain crushing injuries caused by accidental trauma. Crushing occurs when an individual becomes caught between the ground and a solid object, often a larger animal. The type and degree of the injury depends on the amount of force, resulting in a range of injuries from minor bruising to severe hemorrhage, fractures, and rupture of internal organs. This type of injury has been particularly observed in hedgehogs9 and waterfowl,10 though it can occur in animals of many other species.
Impact injury is a common cause of death in some species of wild animals, especially birds.11 Birds often collide during flights, resulting in crash landings. Young birds also commonly fall from nests. As a result, many individuals suffer from bruising, hemorrhage, and fracture, in particular of limbs and vertebra.12 In waterfowl, the most severe cause of impact injury are hailstorms.13 Survivors of hailstorms often have torn skin, damaged mandibles and internal organ damage.
Many wild animals have to face extreme climatic conditions (see the weather conditions and nonhuman animals page). These conditions are often responsible for injury, such as skin burns. Burns may range from minor scorching to complete destruction of the skin and underlying tissues. The most severe wounds can be fatal. Burn wounds are usually caused by excessive exposure to direct, strong sunlight.14 However, they can also be due to lightning strikes15 or fires.16 In addition to the pain associated with the wound, burned animals are likely to experience complications such as dehydration, lethargy, and depression.
When an animal becomes injured but does not die, she may be suffering on many levels. Firstly, there is the pain of the wounds. An injured animal may experience intense pain and discomfort. In some cases, the pain is so grievous that the animal self-mutilates.17 Pain can also cause other behaviors that can become dangerous to the animal such as causing them to decrease their intake of food and water, leading to weight loss, breaking down muscles, and impairing breathing. Secondly, an injured animal is likely to suffer from a range of other problems due to infections and related diseases. In the absence of medical treatment, infection is a 'natural' correlate of wounding in the wild. Damaged tissues tend to become infected by parasites (known as myiasis). In addition to being extremely painful for the animal, parasitic infestation may cause additional complications such as diarrhea, vomiting, and visual disturbance.
Finally, the disabling effects of the injury –increased by the process of infection– jeopardize the animal's wellbeing in many important respects. Most notably, the animals may not be able to escape from threatening situations or to keep up with their social group. They may also be unable to eat or drink adequately to promote healing or even to stay alive. Injured animals also become preferential targets for both predators and competitive members of their own species, which drastically increases the number of deaths in the wild. The correlation between poor physical condition and predation has been thoroughly discussed in the scientific literature.18 Predators do not hunt randomly but rather select individuals who seem weak, including those who show signs of illness. As an example, in research carried out by M.W. Miller and colleagues, it was determined that the rate of predation of deers by mountain lions had grown fourfold, due to increased prevalence of infection in the population of deers.19
If animal suffering matters, then the increase in predation should concern us. The suffering of wild animals does not seem to be relevantly different from that of domestic animals. From the animal's point of view, the experience of being injured by a sharp wood stick in nature or by a steel knife wielded by a human is equally painful and stressful. A wounded animal suffers, no matter who or what causes that suffering. Arguably, wounding in the wild causes more suffering because of infection and associated complications. If we think that humans have a moral obligation to reduce animal suffering this should include all animals, domesticated and wild.
Humans often intervene in the wild to treat injured or sick animals.20 Nevertheless, intervention is justifiable only if one of the following conditions is met:
If we reject speciesism and believe that equal interests should be given equal consideration, there is no sound moral reason to object to intervening on behalf of wild animals whenever it is within our power to alleviate their suffering.

I am not whole in the way
I view you to be.
I cannot yet
and allow
simply being
to wash over me.
Although I can,
I do not like to stand
on my own,
I do not like it,
even though I receive gifts from it
every time.
Gifts are there
when I experience and accept,
and gifts are there
when I wiggle, squirm, cry, rebel.
I am uncomfortably easy
with those who are searching
in the way I am that day.
And when I dare to look,
I cannot miss
how deliberately
I sometimes choose
to be with those
who declare it all foolish,
because they won't dare to look.
I am not yet able
to get all I need from inside myself
even though I see it is there,
just on the other side of now.
But in those moments
when I am not angry with me
for failing to be whole,
I am slowly falling in love
with who I am discovering
myself to be.
I am richly textured and openly colorful.
I am often fearless and chase wildly after
any chance to learn and experience,
even when it aches deeply
and especially when
it might make me laugh
until my sides ache.
I am starting over
and I am learning
to embrace it
with gusto.
I am alive,
and full of hope.
I am trying my best
every moment
of each day to be
present and
And yet,
I feel unsteady,
and I apologize for my clumsiness
at life,
because I have all that,
I am all that,
and I am clearly on my way….
but I don't feel whole
like I view you to be.
I do see it right there, though,
just on the other side of now,
because I am at least whole enough
to know these two things:
No one is completely whole,
even when I view them to be.
And I am whole enough for now
because I know this.

Although potatoes themselves are extremely low in fat and calories, mashed potatoes can be a significant source of fat, saturated fat, calories and sodium. If you're interested in reducing the amount of fat, saturated fat and calories in your mashed potatoes, consider using skim milk instead of whole and vegetable oil instead of butter.
A 1-cup serving of homemade mashed potatoes made with whole milk and butter contains roughly 237 calories, 35.3 grams of carbohydrates, 8.9 grams of fat, 5.5 grams of saturated fat, 3.9 grams of protein, 3.1 grams of fiber, 666 mg of sodium and 23 mg of cholesterol, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture. The calorie composition is approximately 59 percent carbohydrates, 34 percent fat and 7 percent protein.
The same serving of mashed potatoes provides 27 percent of the Institute of Medicine's recommended daily adult amount of Vitamin B-6, 20 percent of pantothenic acid, 15 percent of thiamine, 14 percent of Vitamin C and niacin, 9 percent of Vitamin A, 7 percent of riboflavin and 6 percent of Vitamin B-12. Vitamins B-6 and B-12, pantothenic acid, thiamine, niacin and riboflavin are water-soluble B-complex vitamins that play vital roles in metabolism, central nervous system function, vision and skin health, and hormone, red blood cell and DNA formation. Vitamin C, another water-soluble vitamin, is essential to protein metabolism, wound healing, immune function and iron absorption, according to the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin integral to healthy vision, bone growth, cell division and differentiation, and immune function. Mashed potatoes also contain trace amounts of other vitamins.
A 1-cup serving of mashed potatoes supplies 13 percent of the phosphorus and potassium, 9 percent of the magnesium and 5 percent of the zinc that adults should consume daily. These minerals aid bone health, immune function, wound healing, nerve function, muscle control, cell division, protein and DNA synthesis, and cardiac rhythm and blood pressure regulation. Mashed potatoes contain smaller amounts of other minerals.
Although potatoes are a significant source of many vitamins and minerals, a serving of mashed potatoes only offers 4 percent of the calcium; 3 percent of the vitamin D, iron, and selenium; and 2 percent of the vitamin E that adults should consume each day. A serving also contains 37 percent of the saturated fat, 29 percent of the sodium, 11 percent of the total fat and 8 percent of the cholesterol that the Mayo Clinic website recommends for adults per day, but only has between 8 percent and 15 percent of the fiber adults should consume daily.
Although potatoes can be a healthy addition to any well-balanced diet and even buttery mashed potatoes have their place, no diet that emphasizes one food or type of food to the exclusion of others can be considered healthy or safe. Consult your physician before beginning any weight-loss diet.

30.5" Calibos Sword
- Sword
- Molded plastic sword is 30.5" long
- Blade is broken and split to look like the one seen in Clash of the Titans
- Perfect with any ancient warrior costume
If you're clashing with the Titans, would you bring a little saber or a giant sword with you? Hmm, that's what we thought. Whatever job is at hand, you have to use the right tool to fulfill it. If you're using a Greek soldier's sword against a God, you might be fighting with a stapler. We wouldn't recommend it. Finding the right weapon to defeat a Titan is a major part of the challenge, along with brains and brawn of course. That's where we come in. You have options.
This sword might look as if it's been through a lot, that's because it has. The Calibos sword belonged to a giant, angry demi-God who made a habit of going against Perseus. When he finally was defeated it wasn't because of his sword, he just couldn't defeat gravity when he was falling off that cliff. Whether you are fighting a God or a mortal, this monster of a sword gives you the upper hand.

Familiar faces continue care for Danville patients on the go
Jerry Beckley insists some change is good. He ought to know. Nearly 20 years ago, Medix Ambulance owners Steve and Debbie Sparrow gave him the opportunity to make a big change—from being a welder to saving lives.
"They gave me a chance, and I fell in love," Beckley said.
While ownership of the Danville ambulance service changed to Carle last week, the mission and the people fulfilling that mission remain the same. Many existing Medix employees accepted positions with Arrow, helping ensure stability and quality of care.
"I wore the same type of uniform yesterday," Beckley said on his first day as a Carle Arrow Ambulance employee. "It's business as usual.
"Our job is still taking care of people."
Arrow believes the best way to care for the community is to continue doing what the City of Danville and the Sparrows have done for the last 36 years—with the existing skilled ambulance crew that knows the city, its residents and its needs. Danville leaders may vote tonight on adding a second ambulance license. Presence Health System wants to provide ambulance services in Danville, as well, and suggested splitting the city at Vermilion Street, with the two services alternately covering each side.
Beckley, who grew up in Westville, now lives just eight minutes from the ambulance base near the corner of Gilbert and Fairchild. He knows minutes matter.
Community members helping one another matters, too.
"I run into people I know all the time," he said, adding, "Danville is big but not too big."
Beckley is already seeing the Danville community spirit from his new Carle coworkers.
"We have open communication. It's an open staff. They're just like us," he said.
For the last several weeks, Arrow Manager John Sollars has made Danville his home away from home.
He answers questions.
He gets to know people.
He makes Arrow's mission clear.
Arrow Director Larry Sapp sums up that mission.
"I accept the responsibility of running a fair, efficient, high-quality ambulance service in this community, just has the Sparrows have done," Sapp said. "Expert paramedics and EMTs will continue to transport patients to the hospital of their choice just as Illinois Department of Public Health rules advise.
"Most importantly, Arrow will keep care local. We will continue to provide excellent care."
Tim Lawson has been providing excellent care with the Danville ambulance service for 28 years.
He's looking forward to incorporating Arrow procedures and resources, like training and technology.
"Our line of work is ever-changing," Lawson said. "You have to grow. You have to change. We get to use our brains. It's rewarding to help people."
Tammy Carnaghi is familiar with change, too. The now-Arrow EMT worked for Carle before, both in a clerical role and in the lab. She'll bring what she's learned in the last year and a half in Danville to Champaign-Urbana's Arrow team.
She credits Lawson's always-calm teaching methods with her success.
"Even in intense situations, he taught me to stay focused, to take care of the issue, to get the patients quickly and carefully where they need to be," she said.
During his time as a paramedic, Beckley has watched Danville's population change and age, requiring his team's brand of expertise, compassion and stability.
"Families that need us ask for certain paramedics, certain EMTs. For them, it's calming," Beckley said.

Mr. Hendricks is grading, filling, re-loaming and seeding. He took the wall down because he could not bring in loam over the septic system. He is planning to re-establish the wall and establish an opening. He will install straw wattle erosion controls tomorrow.
A site walk was planned for Tuesday, November 4, 2014 at 4:00 PM. Mr. Hendricks left the meeting.
3. 7:34 PM (NOI-DEP #143-0884) PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED: 49 Lindbergh Avenue / SOCRAT, AARON & PATRICIA
Ms. Brown continued the public hearing. Byron Andrews of Andrews Survey & Engineering and Aaron and Alaina Socrat joined the meeting. Per the discussion last meeting, the plans have been reconfigured to include a retaining wall. Mr. Socrat is planning on putting 2' of crushed stone, 6' deep, on the inside of the wall towards the driveway. They are proposing biodegradable "sausage" and fabric for erosion controls.
Ms. Van Roo made a motion to close the public hearing and issue an Order of Conditions for (NOI-DEP #143-0884) 49 Lindbergh Avenue/Socrat, Aaron & Patricia. Ms. Sharkey seconded the motion. Vote: Unanimous.
Once the Order is signed and recorded, Mr. Socrat can give a copy to Mr. Zisk and proceed with the erosion control barrier and trees. Mr. Andrews and Aaron and Alaina Socrat left the meeting.
Ed Taipale, Manager of North Brown, LLC joined the meeting. This is an affordable housing project supported by the Town as a local initiative project. The ZBA issued a Comprehensive Permit in 2009. The Order of Conditions was issued in February of 2010. It is designed as a low-impact project. They started clearing the playground area at the street to provide a staging area. No work has been done in the buffer zone or wetlands area. Art Allen of Eco-Tech has been hired as a wetlands scientist.
There a wetlands crossing comes into the project. Tim Brownlow, contractor for the project, stated that all 124 units, 62 buildings are outside the buffer. There is a double barrel road accessway that has 800 linear feet of roadway, 4,300 sq. ft. of fill, inside the buffer. There would be 4,800 sq. ft. of disturbance. No work on the buildings can be done until the crossing is completed.
Mr. Zisk stated that he filed a Disclosure Form, but he could be a liaison to monitor the crossing. Mr. Zisk cannot inspect the property because he is an abutter. A third party will need to be hired. The Commission would like BSC Group to be hired. The applicant has satisfied the 401 Water Quality conditions. There was a discussion regarding what part of the project is under the jurisdiction of the Conservation Commission and whether or not a bond is required for the crossing and replication area. The Special Conditions were reviewed.
Mr. Taipale would like to start clearing trees in the next two to three weeks. He reviewed the order of events. They would be doing the crossing before the replication. The Commission asked for proof that bonding is not needed for the crossing and replication area. Mr. Brownlow stated that, in the hearings to obtain the Order of Conditions, it was discussed that a surety would be held with property. Building Permits on units would be held as described in the Comp. Permit.
The Commission will review the original documents and would like to talk to Town Counsel about procedure. Mr. Brownlow will resend the Construction Schedule and an estimated cost for the crossing. Mr. Zisk will send the Order of Conditions to Jay Talerman, Town Counsel, and ask him to attend the next meeting.
The Commission agreed that erosion controls can be placed and trees begun to be cut, after the Commission has checked the erosion controls. Mr. Brownlow plans to use straw bales and silt fence within the buffer and wattles outside the buffer.
Mr. Taipale and Mr. Brownlow left the meeting.
1. 436 Northeast Main Street Solar Project: Proposed Gates. Kevin Donegan of Gehrlicher Solar joined the meeting. Ms. Brown stated that the original Condition requested that the fence be a minimum of 4" from the ground. Mr. Donegan explained that a mistake was made, and he was not provided with that information. Mr. Donegan discussed that cutting the entire fence line would be very expensive. The whole length of the fence would need to be re-twisted. Documents were reviewed and a discussion was held.
Mr. Donegan will do his best to raise the fence, but there are sections that are difficult to raise, particularly in corners. The Commission asked to have an update by the next meeting; either the raising is completed or it is known when the raising will be done. Mr. Donegan left the meeting.

- The "Landmaster" later had a cameo in Chris Eliott's sitcom "Get A Life" in which it was an automatic newspaper-delivering machine (called the Paperboy 2000) that, of course, went haywire.
- The 12-wheeled "Landmaster" vehicle used in the film was created by Jefferies Automotive in Universal City, California. Despite the appearance of two "Landmasters" in the film, only one was built at a cost of $300,000 in 1977. As of today (1999), the original "Landmaster" is alive and well, and resides in the lot at the Jefferies Automotive shop on Cahuenga Blvd. near Barham Blvd., and is easily seen from the the street. It has been somewhat modified from its original appearance in "Damnation Alley," with the enlargement of the driver and passenger side windows, and the removal of the flexible center section cover.

The Sony MDR-NC8 deliver surprisingly decent sound reproduction. However, they are flimsy, below-average headphones with terrible noise isolation and subpar build quality. They feel cheap and are hard to recommend.
|Active Features
The MDR-NC8 feel and look cheap. They are extremely flimsy, lack severely in build quality and do not offer any in-line controls. They also feel uncomfortable because of the lack of padding and tension on the weak headband which is very disappointing.
There's nothing that really stands out with the design of the MDR-NC8. They look bland and utilitarian but also but also a little cheap because of the low-grade thin plastic used. They come in a matt black color accentuated by a glossy finish at the hinges and a subtle SONY branding on the back of oval ear cups. The headband is thin and not padded which does not help with the already bland esthetic.
The padding on the ear cups is soft and the MDR-NC8 are lightweight. These are the only benefits to an otherwise uncomfortable set of headphones. The lack of padding on the headband and the overall flimsiness of the headphones do not feel good on the head. The stereo audio cable is not detachable and can get in the way, as they link both ear cups which can be frustrating.
Button layout is non-existent. There is only one button and its to switch on/off the noise cancelling. The MDR-NC8 offer no in-line controls so you will have to pull out your device every time you want to turn up the volume or skip and stop a tracks which is very disappointing.
The Sony MDR-NC8 are not stable headphones. The headband is not tight enough to keep the headphones in place during physical activity. They sway a lot while running and are not ideal for the gym. They also have a non-detachable cable that will pull the headphones off your head if it gets hooked on something.
These headphones are fairly portable. They fold up into a compact design that will easily fit into larger bags and purses. However, they're not portable enough to comfortably carry around on your person. They also do not come with case or pouch, which is a little disappointing
The MDR-NC8 have very poor performance when it comes to cancelling ambient noise. The active noise cancellation changes nothing in the amount of ambient noise that get into the earcups and their padding does not add much passive isolation either. The MDR-NC8s won't leak much sound but are definitely not recommended for use in noisy environments or for travelling.
Amazingly, the active noise cancelling on these headphones doesn't seem to be doing anything. The passive isolation is also sub-par, only starting to isolate at around 400Hz. It does best at 5 KHz, where it provides -20dB of isolation.
The MDR- NC8 only have noise canceling as an active feature. This makes them less versatile for other use cases except as noise canceling headphones, as they lack both wireless features or an app, to enhance and customize their sound. On the upside, they have an incredibly long battery life at 88.5 hours with a single fully charged AAA cell.
The MDR-ZX110NC have great battery life that will easily deliver above 80 hours of continuous playback. They use a AAA battery but thanks to the long battery life you won't have to swap out the battery as often. Unfortunately, like the MDR-ZX110NC they have no power saving features, but can be used passively when the battery runs out.
The Sony MDR-NC8 mediocre and cheap everyday headphones that do not excel in a particular use case. Their isolation is not efficient enough for traveling or the office and their sound is an average at best.
Not intended for pure critical listening. The closed back design and small earcups limit the soundstage these headphones can create. Their audio reproduction is decent with instruments and vocals but lacks bass and detail.
Poor for commuting. They don't block or cancel enough noise for loud environments.
Mediocre for sports. These headphones are lightweight and not too bulky. However, their not tight enough to stay put during physical activity and the non-detachable audio cable gets tangled a lot.
Mediocre for office use. They have low leakage and won't distract your colleagues. But they also won't block the office chatter because of the weak noise isolation.
Mediocre for home theater use. They're lightweight and decently comfortable. They're also wired, so they have negligible latency when watching movies. However, their relatively short audio cable may be an issue depending on your home theater set up.

Are you adequately covered with your PROPERTY Coverage?
Do you know how much your home is worth?
Are your outbuildings covered or not?
Do you have coverage for your jewelry and guns?
Are you adequately covered with your LIABILITY Coverage?
Will your home business cause a problem with your insurance if someone gets hurt?
Will your college-bound children be covered by your liability limit while they are away at school?
Will the tree in your back yard fall on your neighbors house? Do you need to be covered?
Are you adequately covered with your WATER Coverage?
If the weather drops 10" of rain in one weekend and you and your neighbor's yard are under water, are you covered if it enters your home?
If the toilets backs up in the upstairs bathroom and floods the downstairs, do you have coverage for that?
If the pool in the backyard collapses and your basement now has 4" of water in it, are you covered?

This is easy to do, but keep in mind that you are implementing a briged connection between two buildings. A bridge lets you keep all PC's on the same subnet, which will simplify your life supporting most network applications.
You need a separate WiFi "router" (really an AP -Access Point) in each building. Set each AP to "bridge mode", if they have this mode. This is similar to "ad hoc" mode, but with special bridging software to make the connection more robust, and to allow you to use the same sub-net in both buildings. Not all wireless routers have a bridge mode. You may be able to accomplish the same thing by setting both AP's to ad-hoc on the same channel.
First, set up everything using default settings, with exceptions below, on a clear channel. Available channel numbers are 1, 6, and 11 if you are in North America, and appropriate channels for your country if you are not. Set up each AP bridge individually, using static IP addresses that are in your main building's subnet. Turn OFF the DHCP server in both bridges. You want the DHCP to come from your primary Internet router, not the AP's. In true bridge mode, the "gateway" for the PC's in the remote building will simply be the main Internet router's IP address. However, if you have to fake it with AP's that won't really "bridge", you will probably have to generate DHCP from the remote AP, and use it as the gateway for the PC's in that building.
After you get things running you need to turn on security. don't do this until you have connectivity; it will make your life miserable trying to solve multiple problems simultaneously. (Ping is a quick way to make sure you have connectivity, or you can just try to connect to the Internet.)
For security, do these steps one at a time: Put the MAC address of each AP bridge in the other AP's access list. Check to make sure it still works. Now, turn on high encryption (128bit or 168bit if you have it). WPA modes are best for WiFi, as the older WEP stuff is fairly easy to break into. Now, check to make sure it still works.
Remember that cable has a lot of loss at these frequencies, so use the shortest possible lengths and the best (and biggest) cable you can.
Can't do a block diagram, but this is generally what you will have:
-:DSL/T1 Router, subnet of 192.168.1.0/24, gateway …1
(DHCP on)
-:AP Bridge 1, static IP 192.168.1.200 (arbitrary)
(DHCP off, WPA on after initial testing)
—-:< antenna to Bridge 2 :—-
:-AP Bridge 2, static IP 192.168.1.201 (arbitrary)
(DHCP off, WPA on after initial testing)
:-Your PC's, which get DHCP from DSL/T1 router
and use 192.168.1.1 as the gateway. PC's in
this building will be in the 192.168.1 network
and pick up a network from the Internet router
Issues: you may have to manually set DNS, as XP often will not pick it up from some DSL routers. If you can Ping a router at the other end of your Internet connection (the ISP's DNS router, by IP address, is a good test), you have connectivity, and just need to take care of the DNS problem manually.
Good luck!

It's not unusual to hear a woman's weight loss story that talks about how she saved her own life. But this woman lost weight in order to save someone else's life instead.
Rebekah Ceidro weighed more than 200 pounds and made a habit of dropping food into the fryer whenever she got hungry when she received the horrible news that a close friend of hers was in desperate need of a kidney transplant.
Chris Moore, who had always suffered from chronic kidney disease, explained in a heartbreaking Facebook post that he would now need either a transplant or dialysis in six months to a year in order to live.
"I just kept seeing the post and it would tug at my heart. You don't think about things like that when you are 30 years old," Rebekah said. "You think about when you are going to get married, not 'How am I going to save my own life?'"
MUST-SEE: This Man Lost 70 Pounds in a Year--and It Saved His Wife's Life
But she wasn't seeing any call to action from his friends or followers. So she decided she would make an action by herself—by donating her own kidney. She contacted Chris, who as fate would have it, had the same blood type as her.
There was one problem though: She was too heavy to be a donor and would have to lose at least 15 pounds to do it.
MUST-SEE: If You Struggle Losing Weight, It Might Not Be Your Fault
So Rebekah immediately changed her lifestyle, getting involved with fitness and running. And before she knew it, 40 pounds had slipped away.
And now, within a few months, she'll be able to save her friend because of it. In prep for the surgery, Chris sees her as not only his donor, but his inspiration to go on.
"I use her courage to give myself courage," Chris said. "If she can do this, then I can do this."

Kitten Art
Provide the children a picture of a kitten (you can usually find an outline type of picture with clip art programs). Let the children glue "fur" onto their kittens (could use felt pieces, fake craft fur, pom poms, or any collage materials). Encourage the children to name their kittens and write the name they chose on their pictures.

Theoretical Economic Systems: A Comparative Analysis
Theoretical Economic Systems: A Comparative Analysis
This book aspires to establish more of a balance between theory and description in the study of comparative economic systems. It presents, compares, and evaluates the leading theories advanced to explain the operation of the major types of economic systems, and offers tentative conclusions on the direction in which modern economies seem to be headed.
The book has a dual purpose. First, it is designed as a text for college and university courses on the assumption that there is an increasing need for an analysis of the theories underlying the operation and function of contemporary national economic systems. Second, the book attempts to provide the economist with a summary of the various concepts of economic systems which are nowhere compiled or evaluated in a single volume--or even easily discoverable from a search of the literature. It is hoped that the analysis and evaluation within these pages will prove useful to the large number of economists who devote their minds and energies to specific areas of economic theory and practice, and who are not primarily concerned with the over-all theories of economic systems.
The present volume attempts to isolate and analyze the pure theoretical types of economic systems. This is felt to be a reasonable and useful objective since it is on a foundation of theory that modern industrial economic systems are built. Purposely the book does not attempt to describe the economic institutions or experience of the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, or other nations. Descriptive information, as such, is not stressed, although frequently reference is made to the facts to illustrate, to verify . . .

Porterville, CA Copper Repiping Cost
How much will a Repipe cost in Porterville?
When you've got out of date galvanized pipes or are getting persistent complications with your plumbing, for instance lower water pressure, mucky water from water pipe deterioration, wall structure and slab leaks possibly even scalding issues, it's important to upgrade the full system. This upgrade is known as repiping. When it is done correctly, there are no more leaks, no scalding water concerns, no more polluted water or any other difficulty. If it is performed incorrectly, the levels of damages which could occur is unbelievable, and the cost for further repairs could be limitless. Consequently the very first rule in repiping is to hire a Repipe Specialist!
What Factors Influence the Cost of a Repipe?
The price of repiping the home in Porterville, CA relies upon countless factors – how big the home, the distance from the main water line, as well as the volume of bathrooms and fixtures, to name a few. In most cases, general contractors or local plumbers bill you well over $12,000-$20,000 for a single house! That's because they do not specialize and won't be aware of safest and most efficient ways to surgically opening the wall surfaces and swap out the pipes. They usually simply rip the wall surfaces apart to access what they need. Nevertheless, if you want to reduce the total amount of destruction and repair service – and hence minimize the cost (let alone the cost of your peace of mind!) you'll want to first obtain an estimation from Repipe Specialists! Repiping is all they do!
How Much Does a Copper Repipe Cost in Porterville, CA?
