Hot Sexy Dolls are the highest of quality those are purchased from Royal Sex Toy. Royal Sex Toy sets the standards in the industry for making high-quality dolls, while other factories copy them and use recycled low-quality materials. Hot Sexy Dolls are cheaper than other company's dolls because we sell over 100 dolls per month and buy in bulk. Royal Sex Doll has a contract directly with the Silicon Sex Doll factory to buy 100 dolls per month and receive lower pricing than other doll sellers. You are not paying 1 or 2 middlemen that mark up the price before the doll reaches you. Royal Sexy Dolls are in stock, boxed up and ready to go within 2-3 business days unless it is a customized order. The reason dolls can be shipped within 2-3 business days is that they are already paid for. Other sellers order their dolls with the customer's money after they are purchased and pay a higher fee to the factory because they only buy 2 to 3 dolls per week. The only way my company can sell 100 dolls per month is to price them right for our customers. The reason why we sell our dolls with removable vaginas is that it is much more sanitary and easier to take out the vagina for easy cleaning. We also give a spare vagina too.
Sex dolls can be very helpful when it comes to gaining confidence in the bedroom. Confidence in the bedroom is a rare quality for men to possess in the modern world. Meeting new people has never been easier with all the new technology, dating websites and social media websites available. However, it is the post-dinner, getting the cozy part that has men worried most of the times. In order to lead a bright and vibrant life, men need to indulge in sexual activities from time to time. Going for long periods without sex can be mentally frustrating and create stress and tension. There are a lot of men who are not in a relationship right now for various reasons. Or just single men who wish to learn new things in the sack and practice and enhance their sexual skills. Although perceived to be animals when it comes to sex, by many women and the media, men would think ten times before sleeping with a random woman or maybe a prostitute. In a world where companionship is hard to find, these inventive love dolls, made for the sole purpose of satisfying sexual needs go a very long way.
At Www.RoyalToy.In we provide men and women with a lot of ground-breaking options to boost their morale in all areas related to their sex life. Our world-class collection of extremely lifelike sex dolls provide you with the ultimate sexual satisfaction and make masturbation a fun and inventive activity. These erotic figures, made with either plastic or pure silicone components, look and feel just like real women.
Sex dolls are part of the sex toy industry, which has grown exponentially in both storefront and online outlets. However, there are no clear ways to tell if the sex doll you are considering is a good fit for your lifestyle. Typically, schemes like. "the best sex doll for you". "amazing real sex doll". Do not actually provide any meaningful insight.
Contrary to popular belief, sex doll is more than just masturbation accessories used to relieve its users of sexual tension and stress. In fact, they have quite a remarkable part of history, which is far off from how folks perceive it today. Here is a glimpse of the rich history of sex dolls.
Although it can be a little overwhelming to buy a sex doll, understanding all the various types of models available and the benefits associated with them will make the task easier. All our available models are made of safe, durable, phthalate free, non-toxic PVC or naturally available, real and safe silicone. This means some models appear as close as it gets to the "real thing". The silicone models are a little pricier than the fully inflatable love dolls made completely out of PVC. For example, the NPG – Japanese 158cm Love Doll is voted by customers from all over the world as the best roommate they could have asked for. This inflatable sex toy can be played from both the front and the back sides and has highlighted green hair giving the model an enhanced and chic look. This figurine comes with a single SEBS masturbator that can be inserted in any of the holes for increased pleasure. We offer a 10ml lubricant with the sleeve for free to get you started. This high quality blow up toy is made with typical Japanese standards and will last through whatever fun you have in mind. Another model known as the Mai Li Asian Love Doll is an actual life-size female blow up toy. Men from all over the world have experienced intense orgasms playing with this figurine which features a usable open mouth in addition to the two love tunnels located in the front and the back. This amazing model is made from phthalate free, non-toxic PVC and measures 32 inches long and 18 inches wide. Other options are also available for customers who want to go for a different look, color or height.
One of the most important features of a sex doll is the construction. The material used (rubber, fabric, TPE, or Silicone) dictates not only the cost of the product but also the purpose. Whether you're thinking about getting a sex doll yourself or are just curious about what folks see in an inflatable partner, there is certainly a lot of perks to sex doll ownership.
ESexDolls provides the most realistic and titillating sex dolls to fulfill any desires and fantasies. Explore the depths of your sexuality with ESexDolls' finest collection and enjoy all the rewards that come with it.
With top-notch models made up of high-grade silicone and personalized customer service, all sex dolls from ESexDolls feels like a real woman inside and out. Achieve the sexual freedom that only sex dolls can provide. Check out our collection today and meet our lovely dolls!
Sex Dolls at this level are truly the best money can buy. The dolls are handmade with meticulous care to make sure the finest details are exact. This extra care results in a more realistic doll and experience, large features like breasts and vaginas are extremely well contoured and lifelike. Even the smaller features, like eyelashes and the internal vaginal walls, will be highly realistic, if not better than the real thing.
As well, the dolls are typically made with high-quality medical-grade macro-molecule silicone. In addition to being high-quality silicone, the material is then platinum cured. Curing silicone with platinum prevents oil from oozing out of the skin over time, which can sometimes happen with non-platinum cured silicone.
In addition to the hand-craftsmanship and materials used, the skeletons of the dolls at this price range will be very sturdy. The joints will be strong and long-lasting, which will allow the doll to hold positions and even stand on their own. One problem with cheaper sex dolls is that their joints will get loose over time, and with prolonged use, the doll's joints will become flimsy and limp. High-quality dolls will retain their joint stiffness much longer.
All of these inflatable sex toys available at Royal Sex Toys in Kollam are hand-made with extreme care to provide the highest satisfaction to the customers. These babes are made out to be very realistic, not only in their looks and feel, but also in how they can be used in various positions. You can bend their arms, legs and their torso to any position depending on your mood at the time. Just let your imagination run wild with these sex dolls. You can dress them in lingerie of your choice for that added flavor, or dress them in any other fashion style you may desire. These beautiful babes are life-sized and amazingly proportionate especially when you are having sex. Convincingly authentic oral, anal and vaginal love tunnels make for a wonderful experience for men who ware in need of a sexual relief. You can have anal sex, vaginal sex, and oral sex with these dolls and you can come anywhere you like.
One of the major mistakes men make with these dolls is exposing them to a rough, dry pounding which is neither satisfactory nor good for your inflated sex toy. Contact with sharp objects is to be avoided. Depending on the model, it is important to not penetrate with excessive strength. Dust, dirt or any creasing or pressure mark that is visible should be properly cleaned with warm water and then dried off with a towel. In the worst case scenario, if your doll's surface suffers from a scratch or cut, it is advisable to use TPE glue to seal her back to her original form. Make it a habit to wash your doll with warm water with a little soap already mixed in it. You must make sure your inflatable sex toy is completely dry before you place it in its permanent storage. A little dusting of talcum powder or cornstarch powder helps maintain an irritation-free and odor-free sex doll.
All our products are made keeping the customers in mind. All the inflatable sex toys available on our website are made with high-quality, durable materials that will last for a long time provided they are taken care of. These sex toys can add an extra dimension to your vibrant, healthy sexual lives and lead to some intense orgasms. With these toys at your helm, you can have amazing sex at any time you want without waiting on anyone else. So, which one of these beautiful sex dolls are you going to order today?

The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) has submitted comments to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) regarding its proposed rule entitled "Nutrition Standards in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs."
NCBA Executive Director of Legislative Affairs Kristina Butts said NCBA supports efforts to improve the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP) and urges USDA to consider naturally nutrient rich lean beef as a solution to meet nutrient needs for school children.
"Cattle producers strongly support a healthy diet for growing children that includes whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products and lean meats such as beef," said Scott George, NCBA vice-president and Wyoming cattle producer. "As USDA updates the nutrition standards for the school lunch and breakfast programs, lean beef should be emphasized as it contributes significantly to intakes of protein and many other key nutrients without providing significantly to intakes of total fat, saturated fatty acids or sodium."
NCBA raised concern with a recommendation to discourage processed foods. Butts said while there is a need to reduce sodium content in the diet, sodium plays a functional role in texture development and in controlling microbial growth and food preservation.
"While we recognize and support the need to reduce sodium content in children's diets, it is important to recognize that beef currently contributes 1 percent or less to total sodium intake in children and adolescents," Butts said. "Furthermore, emerging innovation is resulting in processed meats that are lower in fat and sodium. Processed meats provide high quality protein and nutrients to a healthy diet for growing children."
George said cattlemen are committed to providing wholesome, nutritious food for consumers.
"The NSLP and SBP play an important role in helping children develop a healthy lifestyle, which includes a well-balanced diet coupled with physical activity," he said. "Lean beef is a naturally nutrient rich food option for schools and we appreciate USDA's continued recognition of the important role it plays in the diets of Americans and especially school children."

Rinspeed "MicroMax" EV Is Small But Tall
Electric vehicles allow car designers a lot more freedom when it comes to far-out concepts. Switzerland's Rinspeed is no stranger to weird and wacky car designs, and their latest concept is the most bizzare yet. The Rinspeed "MicroMax" EV will debut at the Geneva Auto Show in 2013, and its unique design will make the most use of the limited on-board space.Read more

Mplus Discussion
Multilevel Data/Complex Sample
Dmitriy Poznyak
posted on Tuesday, July 17, 2012 - 8:16 pm
Dear Mplus team,
I fit a multilevel SEM with cross-level interaction effects with Bayesian MCMC estimation method. The model fits just fine. The problem is with plotting the interaction effects, which are of substantive interest.
My understanding is that I can't plot the marginal effects (Z*X on Y) within Mplus. I wonder though, whether I might be able to get the output of the posterior distributions for covariance matrix (for X Y and Z) and plot the interaction effects in R or Stata?
I would definitely appreciate your insight on this.
Thank you,
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - 11:48 am
You can express how y changes as a function of x, moderated by z (say if z is the level 2 predictor). Why do you want the cov matrix? For confidence intervals?
Dmitriy Poznyak
posted on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - 12:20 pm
Dr. Muthen, thank you for your reply.
I did calculate the effects by hand and the reason why I need the covariance matrix is precisely what you've mentioned--confidence intervals.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - 9:02 pm
I assume that z is a level 2 variable and y and x level 1 variables. You can get the covariance matrix for z and the between part variation of y (and x) and you can get the covariance matrix of the within part of y (and x) - all by doing a fully saturated model.
But isn't it easier to express the interaction effect you want in Model Constraint, say
yest = (gamma0 + gamma1*z)*x;
where z moderates the effect of x on y and where, conditioning on z and x, you choose different values of z (say high, middle, low) and vary x over its relevant range. This gives you not only the estimated y but also its SE and can then do a 95% CI.
Dmitriy Poznyak
posted on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - 9:49 pm
This begins to make sense--thank you once again for the explanation.
Could you please also point me at the more detailed description of the "Model Constraint" procedure you are referring to? I remember using it before to assess the indirect effects, which is somewhat different from what I want to do now.
Particularly, it's not clear to me how exactly I manipulate the value of z (between-level predictor) in the Model Constraint statement. I assume I can not just type the value of z I want to use (e.g. mean z) in the statement.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Thursday, July 19, 2012 - 6:11 am
You can say, as an example,
s | y ON x;
y ON z;
[s] (gam0);
s ON z (gam1);
y WITH s;
model constraint:
new(ylow yhigh);
ylow = (gam0+gam1*(-1))*level1;
yhigh = (gam0+gam1*1)*level1;
where the -1, +1 are the z values (say 1 SD below and above the mean) and "level1" is where you plug in the different x values for which you want the y information.
Dmitriy Poznyak
posted on Thursday, July 19, 2012 - 12:47 pm
This now sounds like a perfect solution. Thank you very much again for the explanation.

Are you strong? Remembering Randy Udall
I think we will find a solution to climate change, but we will need each other to make it happen. Over the years, the environmental community has become fractured on the issue -- arguing over the best approach, becoming frustrated and critical. And all this is healthy, but only if seen as part of a common struggle. We must remember that we are all in this together.
That makes it hard to lose fellow fighters in the battle. And now we have lost a true brother in arms -- energy analyst, innovator, deep thinker and part-time warrior Randy Udall.
Udall was a pioneer, whose many accomplishments included Colorado's first utility green-power pricing program, a mechanism for utilities to bring clean energy online. In his work at the Community Office for Resource Efficiency, he created perhaps the country's first carbon tax, imposing a fee on energy-intensive development. Like much of Randy's work, the program was oddly bipartisan. Many homeowners happily paid, eager to be part of the solution. Randy never forgot that cheap coal and petroleum brought Americans the prosperity we enjoy today. We cannot ignore that debt or abandon our miners and geologists and utility workers. It's not surprising that Randy was beloved by coal miners and gas explorers, conservative utility CEOs and environmentalists alike.
Self-effacing to a fault, he often urged humility. Despite having a famous name, a brother and a cousin who are senators, an uncle who ran the Interior Department and a congressman father who doubled the size of the national park system, Randy shunned power and the spotlight. When I told him he ought to radically expand his work at CORE, he said: "I have no interest in building an empire."
He was always a realist. "Like it or not," he said, fracking technology "has become one of the underpinnings of our civilization, as central to the way we live as the cellphone or computer."
For the last decade, Randy had been relentlessly hammering on a key climate problem -- methane leaking from coal mines. Destroy enough methane, and we can buy ourselves some time to address CO2. He and partner Tom Vessels began working with the president of the Elk Creek Mine in Somerset, Colo. My employer, Aspen Skiing Company, helped finance their project to convert waste methane to electricity: a prototype of a climate solution that crosses partisan boundaries and represents a new frontier of cooperation.
Who owns that mine? Billionaire Bill Koch, who recognized the value of the project and allowed it to go forward. If that seems strange, it also points to a way forward in a fractured time. As a mining executive emailed me recently: "I owe you a conversation on climate change." Barriers come down slowly and painfully, but they do come down.
Not long before he died, Randy told me: "As for the work I did at CORE, that you are doing at Aspen Ski Co., that needs to be done. … It's difficult and endless and exhausting and sometimes lonely. I … look at China's emissions and try to make sense of where this is going to leave us. And the politics of it drive me nuts, Bill McKibben (a leading advocate on climate change) holding hands with 12,000, picketing purportedly the most progressive president we've had, staking out a Democrat!"
There was one question Randy always asked: "Are you strong?" He meant much more than physical strength. Are we strong enough to win this thing, to persevere despite our own doubts and limitations, to work together despite our differences? Randy saw this as the key, describing our job as: "Dozens, hundreds of people chipping away at the iron glacier." And he would want nothing less of us than that we follow through.
If there is a quantum of solace here, it is that Randy appears to have died quickly, perhaps of a heart attack or stroke, in mid-stride, off-trail in late June in Wyoming's Wind River Range, his favorite place on earth. He still had his pack on his back, hiking poles in hand, and was certainly feeling the joyful lightness we all know when we head out on a new adventure.
Under a vast, clear and blue Wyoming sky, he came to rest on his side. To quote Stanley Kunitz, one of his favorite poets, Randy was finally:
… absolved and free
of his burdens, those mottoes
stamped on his name-tag:
conscience, ambition, and all
that caring….
Peace! Peace!
To be rocked by the Infinite!
As if it didn't matter
which way was home;
as if he didn't know
he loved the earth so much
he wanted to stay forever.
Auden Schendler is the Aspen Skiing Company Sustainability VP and was friends with Randy Udall for many years. Schendler is also a former HCN intern and an HCN contributor. A version of this essay was previously published at thinkprogress.org.

Among other things, I am reading a book called Chinese Marxism by Adrian Chan. It is a bit thin in parts, especially in terms of the Russian Revolution, but the core of the book is excellent. In a devastating chapter, he demolishes what has become a standard position among Sinologists and 'authorities' on Chinese Marxism: the early theorists and members of the CCP were deluded and did not understand Marx properly. And since those early leaders became the teachers of Mao, he too misinterpreted Marx. That is, the adoption of Marxism was opportunist and that approach was used as a convenient screen for nationalist and specifically Chinese concerns.
Let us have a closer look at Chan's points. The key text here is Benjamin Schwartz's Chinese Communism and the Rise of Mao (Harvard, 1951), which set the agenda and became an 'authority'. In discussing the key early figures Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, Schwartz proposes that they were opposed to socialism until quite late, they were 'Manchester Liberals' even after founding the communist party, they read little Marx, what they read they misunderstood (focusing on peasants rather than workers), their late turn to a misunderstood Marxism was inspired by nationalist resentment after the May 4th Movement, as well as direct Comintern intervention, and they passed on this distorted approach to Mao. That is, they simply used Marxism as a convenient screen for their own political agenda and lust for power. Schwartz's basic position soon became authoritative, adopted by others, such as Maurice Meisner, Carrère d'Encausse and Schram, and even Arif Dirlik's The Origins of Chinese Communism (1989). And we see it today in the common position among the Left that Chinese communists are that in name only, using Marxism as a convenient ideology for their own very different agenda.
Chan thoroughly demolishes Schwartz's position, showing that he was highly selective in what he used from these early Chinese Marxists, altered their texts, left out crucial sections of those texts and attributed works to them that they had not written. And as Chen points out, Schwartz had been appointed to Harvard by both the Departments of Government and of East Asian Studies. The head of the latter department, John King Fairbank, made it quite clear that the purpose of Asian Studies at Harvard was to train 'capable' intelligence officers, who would 'contain' and resist the 'disaster' of 'modern Asian totalitarianism'. That sounds strangely familiar today, echoed in quarters as apparently different as Rick Santorum and Slavoj Žižek.
Dirlik is particularly interesting, since he at least claims to be a Marxist. Yet his 1989 book makes many of the same Cold War assumptions: the Chinese turn to communism was a direct result of intervention by the Comintern (based in Moscow and decidedly Bolshevik); they misunderstood communism as social democracy; they did not understand Marxism 'in its totality'. Apart from the fact that Marxism is not a total philosophical system, Chan also points out that in the early decades of the 20th century some key texts by Marx and Engels had not even been published (Grundrisse and the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts), so no-one would have been able to know it in its 'totality'.
Here I would add Eagleton's recent Why Marx Was Right (2011), which carries on this venerable tradition. Holding to a romantic Marxism, in which the true revolution is yet to come, Eagleton argues that the Chinese communist revolution – along with all of the others from Russia to Vietnam – was deluded and misdirected. Why? A proper communist revolution should take place only in an advanced capitalist context. Given that the Chinese revolution occurred in a largely pre-capitalist, agricultural country, it was both a travesty of Marxism and bound to 'fail'. Obviously, it has been a while since Eagleton seriously read Marx.
Back to those early Chinese communists: the reality is, of course, quite different, for Chen and Li and others engaged in intensive study of Marx and Engels well before 4 May 1919, using the library under Li's direction with over 70 works by our good friends, engaging in active translations, and publishing items on Marxism in very influential journals from 1915. They worked closely with texts such as The Manifesto of the Communist Party, Capital, The Civil War in France and the introduction to A Contribution to the Critique on Hegel's Philosophy of Right. And they were particularly interested in the points made by Marx and Engels that there was never a 'master-key' based on a supra-historical and 'general historico-philosophical theory'. Rather, the path to communism will take very different forms, depending on particular historical, social and economic factors, or, in their words, 'on the historical conditions for the time being existing'.

Forms and Processes FAQs
What do I have to do to change my major (curriculum code)?
Log in into your Online Center and submit a Declaration of Academic Program. Do the same if you are changing from personal interest to degree seeking.
Students should complete the Health Admissions Application also, if they have applied to GRCC and would like to complete a specific health program at GRCC. .
Transfer Information FAQs
When should I apply to the school I intend to transfer to? Is my GPA high enough?
It is best to contact that schools admissions office (see transfer schools) directly for application deadline dates and minimum GPA requirements, as well as scholarship information. You can also learn more about the transfer process by downloading a Getting Ready to Transfer handout. The counselors in the Counseling and Career Center can assist you with obtaining transfer applications and can answer many of your questions. Many transfer schools visit GRCC every week, so take the time to visit a transfer school on campus.
I am going to transfer to an out-of-state school. What courses should I take?
You need to contact that school and ask them for a catalog and information for transfer students. Then you need to make an appointment with a counselor in the Counseling and Career Center to develop a curriculum plan.
I don't know what I am going to major in or if I am going to transfer. How do I know what courses to take?
A counselor in the Counseling and Career Center can help you begin to make these decisions and suggest good courses to take. You can also do career counseling to identify your interest areas.
Academic Advising FAQs
How do I calculate my GPA?
Each grade is worth a total number of honor points. Multiply the number of honor points of each grade received by the number of credit hours for that course. Then divide the total number of honor points by the total number of credit hours earned. There is an online GPA Calculator available to help you calculate your GPA.
Grade Scale
The following grades do not have Honor Points and are not factored into your GPA:
I = Incomplete
W = Student Initiated Drop
V = Audit
What do I do if I want to drop a class?
First, you should talk to your teacher. For additional help, you can talk to a counselor to consider your alternatives, like tutoring. Also, a counselor can help you access support available to prevent future drops. You can drop a class using the Online Center. Be aware of reimbursement dates and deadlines, and financial aid implications before you drop a class.
I was told I am an Academic Foundations Program (AFP) student. What does that mean?
As a result of your performance on your placement tests, you were placed in developmental courses that will help you improve your skills in either, or all of, math, reading and writing. The Academic Foundations Program (AFP) provides classes that help you build your skills in these areas.
I took classes there 20 years ago. Are my credits still good?
Yes, once you receive credit for a class, that credit will continue to exist.
I want to drop a class and I am on financial aid. How will this effect me?
You need to go to the Financial Aid office to learn about your award and the stipulations. Failing to do so could put your award at risk if you drop or fail a class.
I have been told I need to be a full-time student taking at least 12 credits. Is this true?
It depends. Students, for certain reasons, like financial aid requirements or coverage under their parents health insurance, may need to have at least twelve credits Fall and Winter semesters. Students need to inquire at the source to find out the reasons behind the need for full-time status.
Full-time, 12 credits, over the summer seems like an awful lot. How am I supposed to cope?
Full-time is considered 12 credits regardless of the semester.
I know the program I want to do. How do I find out what courses I need to take?
To start with, the catalog and transfer guide contain the curriculums for our 2-year programs and suggested transfer curriculums for 4-year institutions. Make an appointment with a counselor in the Counseling and Career Center to discuss these requirements.
I don't know what I am going to major in or if I am going to transfer. How do I know what courses to take?
A counselor in the Counseling and Career Center can help you begin to make these decisions and suggest good courses to take. You can also do career counseling to identify your interest areas.
Is there anything I should do to prepare for my counseling appointment?
Yes! Please try to bring unofficial transcripts from other colleges you have attended if you have questions about transferring credit to GRCC or completing a degree at GRCC. If you are coming in to register, think about the days and times you'd like to go to school. You may also want to look over classes you are interested in taking in the catalog.
I haven't gone to college before. I don't understand the whole "college thing." Do classes work like in high school?
No. You can go to school any days and times we offer classes. There are weekday, weeknight and weekend classes available. There are also online courses and hybrid. You take what you want to take (as long as you have the pre-requisite courses, if needed). You don't have to take an early morning class if that doesn't work for you. Typically, a full-time student who isn't working takes four or five classes a semester.
I work. I need to figure out how much time I need to have available for school. How do I figure this out?
You need to be in class for as many hours a week as the amount of contact hours you are registered for. If your class meets twice a week for 90 minutes (1.5 hrs x 2 = 3 hrs per week in class), you should allow 2-3 hours of homework per hour per week you are in class; per week (3 x 2 = 6 hrs to study for the one class). Typically, a non-lab class will meet the hours per week of the designated credit hours, but not always. As a quick calculation, if you are taking 15 credit hours, you should assume you'll have 30-45 hours of study time needed. So you can see how it is very hard to work full-time and go to school full-time! It's like working two full-time jobs.
I want to get done fast. Isn't it a good idea to take as many courses as possible a semester?
No! Look at it this way, if you rush to get done and have to drop classes on the way or get poor grades, it will take as long to get done as if you took your time and did well without having to repeat. Also, since transferring to another school can be competitive, you need to get good grades!
I need to talk to a counselor about a personal problem. Can I do that?
Yes! When making an appointment for personal counseling, let the office personnel know that you would like an hour appointment. All the counselors in the Counseling and Career Center are licensed counselors and have experience with personal as well as academic issues. In addition, what you discuss is confidential, meaning it is only between you and your counselor. Plus, it's free.
I'm almost finished with my degree. Is there anything I need to do?
Yes! You will need to submit a Graduation Application to the Student Records Office the semester you intend to graduate (or the semester before) after you have verified that all requirements will be met. Submission deadlines for each semester are posted on the Graduation Application. Be advised that there are alternate Graduation Application deadlines related to campus activities such as being considered for Delta Pi Alpha and being published in the Commencement Program. If you are planning to transfer to another college or university, you will also need to complete an application for your transfer school. Applications to most schools are available in the Counseling and Career Center. Many schools also have applications online (see transfer schools).

A job fair and a trade expo will definitely exhaust people. Since these types of occasions are jam-packed it is inevitable that participants will lose their energy checking one booth to another. Plus, these persons are also carrying tons of promotional material from different companies that might be too large, heavy and unorganized. Give them sympathy and do advertising at the same time by disseminating promotional materials that will recharge them.
Here are some of the marketing gifts that would bring their lost energies back and would recharge their fatigued bodies back in fighting form.
Logo Water Bottle with Water- These people will be very fatigued of walking and hunting for a nice company where they can send in their resumes. Revitalize their senses by giving them water. People will surely appreciate your sympathy and your company brand as well.
Chocolate/Candy Bars- Chocolate and candy bars are filled with enough number of calories to bring back the lost energy that people employed for roaming and walking. These energy bars will somehow keep their tired bodies recharged and revitalized.
Packed Popcorns- The long line of people in each trade fair or job fair booth will be very boring for them. Give them something to read or something to eat. A pack of popcorn will be a marvelous boredom buster while they wait for their turn to be interviewed.
Mints- Speaking of interviews, it is always nice to keep your breath fresh to create good impression. Mint is a nice marketing gift that would be a brisk aid for a not-so-fresh breath after eating a pack of popcorn or smoking.
Tote Bags- Since most of these individuals are carrying a lot of stuff from various organizations, give them assistance by handing tote bags. This custom marketing gift will make their lives easier by holding all their items at one hand.
These are some of the greatest marketing gifts that you can distributed to people during trade events and job fairs. Make sure that you have your logo imprinted and a great gimmick to come with it. Through these gifts of sympathy, your company will unquestionably be appreciated and remembered.

Feminist News
The United Nations reported Tuesday that a thirteen-year old Somali girl was stoned to death after her family tried to report her rape. According to the New York Times, the girl, identified by Amnesty International as Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow, was raped by three men while on her way to visit her grandmother in Mogadishu.
Duholow was detained in the southern port city of Kimsayu and accused of adultery by members of the radical Islamic insurgent group, al-Shabab. Local leaders then said Duhulow was guilty of adultery under the Shariah, Islam's legal code, and sentenced her to death. After being placed in a hole, she was stoned by 50 men in front of a crowd of about 1,000 on-lookers, according to the New York Times.
BBC News reports that this is the first stoning reported in Kimsayu since it was captured by Islamic insurgents.

White Ibis is a long-legged water bird
by Ro Wauer
An adult white ibis is a very clean-cut, distinct bird, although young of the year are rather ratty looking. Adults possess all white plumage except for black wingtips and a bright red face and long curved bill, with a blackish tip, and long red legs. The adult plumage gives them a rather royal appearance. The plumage of young birds is mottled with brown, although they too possess a reddish bill and legs. It is not too unusual this time of year to see adults and youngsters together, feeding in shallow water along the coast or at inland wetlands, such as mudflats and flooded pastures, or flying about in family groups. They are one of our more social birds, feeding and roosting together, sometimes in rather large colonies.
Ibis are waders that glean their food with their long curved bill, either in water or on more solid ground. Their diet consists primarily of crabs, crayfish and snails, but they also will take fish and snakes and almost any small creatures, including insects, that they find. Feeding behavior is rather interesting. Kent Rylander, in his "Behavior of Texas Birds," wrote that "they walk leisurely through the shallows, sweeping their long, decurved bills from side from side as they probe the bottom mud for crustaceans (especially crayfish), worms, and other animals." He also states that "this ibis is a nonvisual, tactile forager: it places its partially opened bill in the water or bottom sediment, then snaps it shut when it partially detects prey. Prey taken from the water's surface, mud, or short grass habitats are generally located by sight. White Ibises also steal food items from one another."
Nesting birds often gather in huge, dense colonies with as many as a thousand or more nests. One colony on Galveston Islands contained 20,000 breeding pairs in 2001. Most nests are built with numerous sticks, lined with green leaves, in low shrubbery, but other nests may be placed higher on low trees around water areas. Nests may be usurped by their neighbors, and a colony can raise a great racket when squabbling among themselves. Young leave the nests in about three weeks and follow the adults to choice feeding sites.
White ibis are primarily found in Texas along the Gulf Coast, but they are casual visitors considerable distances inland. They even are considered accidental in the Trans-Pecos. In recent years, breeding birds have expanded their range further inland. Generally, white ibis in Texas can be expected only during the summer months, but they seem to be staying all winter long more and more often.
Three species of ibis occur in Texas: white, white-faced, and glossy. And the roseate spoonbill is closely related, all within the family Threskiornithidae. White and white-faced ibis are reasonably common in wetlands in the Golden Crescent, but glossy ibis, a bird that once was found only along the eastern Gulf Coast, is gradually increasing in numbers. And the roseate spoonbill is far more numerous along the coast, rather than venturing very far inland.

- St. Pancras Church GardenSome of the hand-carved pews look like ruins, and they depict Medieval scenes, while also adding function to the new public space.1
- St. Pancras Church GardenIn 1666, the Great Fire of London raged through the English capital, destroying thousands of homes and 87 churches. Among the churches that burned was St. Pancras Church, which dated back to the 11 century and was never rebuilt after the disaster. Now, almost 350 years after the fire, Studio Weave has transformed the site of the former church into a vibrant urban garden that opens the space to the public for the first time since the church burned down.2

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh said Monday that it's "up to me and Fox News" to halt planned immigration reform proposed earlier in the day by a bipartisan group of Senators.
Limbaugh said that any immigration reform including a pathway to citizenship would amount to amnesty, but that there wouldn't be much Republican opposition to it.
"It's up to me and Fox News, and I don't think Fox News is that invested in this. I don't think there's any Republican opposition to this of any majority consequence or size. We'll have to wait and see and find out. But this is one of those, just keep plugging away, plugging away, plugging away until you finally beat down the opposition," Limbaugh said.
Limbaugh's comments were a reference to a suggestion by President Barack Obama that Limbaugh and Fox News were part of the reason compromise is a "dirty" word in Washington.
"I'm gonna tell you, folks, I am not paid enough," Limbaugh said. "If Fox News and I are the only thing keeping the Republicans from caving to Barack Obama on every issue, I'm not paid enough."
On Monday afternoon, the group of Senators unveiled legislation that would overhaul the U.S.'s current immigration system and provide a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants currently in the country.
Marco Rubio, one of the Senators proposing the framework of the bill, has taken his case for reform to numerous conservative commentators in the last few weeks. Two prominent conservatives — Mark Levin and Fox News' Sean Hannity — have been swayed by Rubio's plan.

A day before the board of the Memphis Area Transit Authority votes on significant cuts in bus and trolley service, the Memphis City Council will review $2.1 million in capital spending for the authority.
And there is a council proposal to restore the service cuts by cutting city funding to the city-county Economic Development Growth Engine – or EDGE – by $469,000.
The council meets at 3:30 p.m. at City Hall, 125 N. Main St.
(Daily News File/Lance Murphey)
The three capital spending resolutions would pay the local share of replacing 30 buses and to upgrade bus facilities.
During council committee sessions, council members will talk over a proposal by council members Lee Harris and Janis Fullilove to cut EDGE funding to a total of $1.6 million.
Of the cuts, $379,040 would be used under the plan to restore bus routes, and the remaining $90,000 would be used to restore cuts in trolley service.
At the same 9:45 a.m. committee session, the council takes up another proposal by Harris that would require two public hearings by the city if the administration of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. tries again to close Fire Station No. 6. The fire station on Danny Thomas Boulevard north of Chelsea Avenue is in Harris' district.
The requirement also would apply to any other "significant changes in levels of public safety during fiscal year 2014," according to the resolution. Other provisions require 30 days' notice from the city prior to such a closing as well as a plan for disposing of the property 30 days before it closes.
Harris has a separate resolution that would set aside $5.2 million in the city's reserve fund to "maintain public safety levels in North Memphis and avoid permanent closure of Fire Station No. 6."
The resolution, which is cosponsored by council member Joe Brown, is built on the premise that the city's $3.40 property tax rate will produce $5 million more than anticipated. Others on the council strongly disagree with that calculation.
Council committee sessions before the meeting of the full council also include a 12:30 p.m. discussion of a resolution for a $10.1 million Smart Meter contract with Elster Solutions LLC.
The contract is for a combined Smart Meter system of 60,000 residential meters plus the infrastructure and systems for the remote reading of the utility meters by Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division.
Committee chairwoman Janis Fullilove has delayed previous resolutions on smaller Smart Meter expenditures and contracts for months at a time.
She is the most vocal opponent on the council of the new technology, which would eliminate the need for meter readers who go to residences and businesses to physically read individual meters. The new technology allows utility workers to read the meters remotely.
Fullilove is among critics who allege the meters are unsafe and are an intrusion on privacy.
The utility has contested the claims vigorously.
A companion resolution sets the stage for a council vote on changing customers with Smart Meters to time-of-use residential utility rates. Time-of-use rates bill customers at different rates for "on peak" and "off peak" hours during the summer and winter, instead of at the standard rates that remain the same no matter what time of day the energy is used.
At the committee session, Fullilove also wants to discuss the idea of "notifying customers of media requests," after a television station requested and received a copy of Fullilove's utility bills. Fullilove had complained that a Smart Meter caused her monthly bill to go up. The records show her bill did not increase.
After numerous delays, the council is scheduled to vote Tuesday on third and final reading of a referendum ordinance to raise the city's sales tax rate and also vote on a resolution that would allocate the revenue from such a tax hike.
At the council's 2:15 p.m. executive session, council members will discuss the plan by council members Shea Flinn and Jim Strickland to put a half percent citywide sales tax hike on the Nov. 7 ballot for voters to decide.
The half percent would generate an estimated $47 million in revenue. Of that, $20 million would be used to roll back the city's property tax rate. The remaining $27 million would be used for an expansion of prekindergarten classrooms within the city of Memphis, with the city contracting with an agency – possibly Shelby County Schools – to provide the service.
The Nov. 7 election date for the ballot question is the same date suburban leaders are seeking to hold elections for school boards to lead the municipal school districts being formed by each of the six towns and cities.
