The first stage in the analysis of male fertility is the analysis of ejaculate (spermogram). Very often, with normal indicators of spermogram, fertilization does not occur. One of the causes of this phenomenon is the immature sperm, that is, the spermatozoon is not able to bind to the oocyte shell. Only mature sperm, during the natural fertilization process, interacts with hyaluronic acid with the aid of special receptors on the membrane. Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronate) is a heteropolysaccharide, which is part of the extracellular matrix of cumulus cells surrounding the egg cell. Only mature sperm have this property, and hence the ability to fertilize and form an embryo of high quality.
The evaluation of the maturity of spermatozoa can be done under laboratory conditions using the HBA test. This test is often prescribed together with a spermogram as an additional research method. Spermatozoa that are capable of binding to hyaluronic acid have normal morphology, normal levels of DNA fragmentation, without excessive cytoplasm residue or preservation of histone proteins – that is physiologically functional (mature). According to the results of the HBA test, the spermatozoa index is determined. Normally, it should reach 60-80%. If the index is less than 60%, then this indicates the probability of male infertility (even with normal spermograms) and requires the use of ART methods.

So what does the 4th of July have to do with the teaching of the Catholic Church?
To answer this question, we must remember that the Catholic Church is the original Bible Church. Its official teaching is no more than interpretation and application of God's Word.
So when we ask how the Church reaffirms the inherent dignity of human beings, we have to start with the Bible. The various religions that existed in biblical times had gods who were made in man's image and likeness – the pagan gods had all the foibles and vices that can be viewed in a soap opera. They play favorites, scheme to destroy their enemies, cheat on their spouses, and hold grudges.
The Bible proclaims that human beings are made in God's image and likeness. And the God of the Bible is a community of persons who give themselves to each other eternally in love. And this God of love is a sublime artist who creates the world in love as a masterpiece of beauty and nobility. In creating man and woman in his image and likeness, he invites them to an intimate personal relationship with himself and offers them the incredible privilege of being co-creators with him.

The following sets out our understanding of the current planning guidelines, as set out on the Government's Planning Portal.
However we advise all customers to take their own advice on planning as every local authority has their own way of interpreting the guidelines. We can prepare and submit planning applications on your behalf, or supply drawings if you want to do the application yourself.
It is our understanding that any permitted development rights referred to below for domestic and non-domestic properties are restricted to systems of up to 1 MW. In particular the non-domestic permitted development right are set out in Statutory Instrument 2012 No 748 Town and Country Planning as relating to 'Microgeneration', which has the same meaning as in the Energy Act 2004. The Energy Act defines Microgeneration as being up to 50kWp (for electricity). Thus for systems sized at 1 MW and over, assume you need planning permission…
The installation of solar panels on a roof or wall of a private house is considered to be "permitted development" (i.e. doesn't require planning permission) provided that:
-no higher than four metres;
-at least 5m from boundaries;
-size of array is limited to 9 sq m or 3m wide and 3m deep;
-should not be installed within boundary of a listed building;
-in the case of land in a conservation area or in a World Heritage Site it should not be visible from the highway.
-only one standalone solar installation is permitted.
New regulations introduced in April 2015 have deemed most non-domestic solar installations below 1 MW as permitted development, provided:
Permitted development does not apply:
For systems greater than 50 kW: the Prior Approval of the Local Planning Authority is required, which is a much less prescriptive process than a planning application. This will assess the design and external appearance of the development, particularly in respect of the impact of glare on occupiers of neighbouring land.
There are three or four hurdles which may need to be overcome before an installation can proceed.
For domestic roof top installations the only hurdles are usually the structural report and the D-rated EPC requirement. In addition if the system size exceeds 3.68kWp an application to the DNO is usually required if the house has a single phase supply (this limit is 3.68kWp per phase, so 11kWp on a 3 phase supply). Consent to connect to the grid is usually forthcoming for systems under 4kWp.
Allow 4-6 weeks between placing an order and completion of the installation.
Non domestic installations and larger domestic installations
Possible hurdles to be overcome will be as follows:
We will usually apply for planning permission, apply to the DNO and prepare a structural report concurrently, so that if all goes well, all of these hurdles can be overcome in 10 weeks. We are then free to proceed with the installation, which typically takes place four to six weeks after the planning decision. The installation itself will usually take between one and three weeks, depending on the size of the project, giving an overall project timeframe of around four months.
At the request of the client, and to reduce our costs (and theirs) in the event the planning application fails, we may delay applying to the DNO or preparing the structural report until the planning application is determined. This typically adds an additional month to the proceedings, giving a complete timeframe of five months.
A typical installation schedule for a large scale domestic or non-domestic installation would be as follows:
Once you have booked an installation the process runs as follows:
As it says in the section on Project Timescales above, for domestic installations not requiring planning permission, you can expect to have your system up and running within about 4-6 weeks of contacting us, sooner if you are in a hurry.

FAQ Friday; and Infusing Personality Into Your Wedding
14 thoughts on FAQ Friday; and Infusing Personality Into Your Wedding
Thanks for posting my question Rhi! I had been going crazy trying to make our wedding different (but still traditional) from all the rest that I was losing sight of the big picture– that I'm marrying the guy who, just by hearing his voice I knew I was going to marry. So even though I'm still trying to make it uniquely us, will it matter if the flowers aren't the right shade or someone doesn't like the dessert? Not one little bit! xo
Great advice and point… That's right. Every wedding is the same and different. You have personality and uniqueness as a couple and there will always be a way to make your big day unique, even though it follows a pattern seen everywhere else.
Important thing is to think about what you really want to achieve and how you want to feel as a couple on the day and then just run with it!
Great post Rhiannon.
WOW! thanks for showcasing my wedding in the Canadian Rockies. You're a doll!! I also loved YOUR wedding (saw it on SMP too!!) and I've stopped by your blog before. Nice job in advocating for people to think outside of the box. I had a really hard time getting my family to accept that I was having a somewhat nontraditional wedding BUT they all agreed after that it was the most personal and love filled affair that they had ever been too. If there is one thing that I can suggest to other couples… HAVE A SWEETHEART TABLE!! It was one of the most amazing details that made it intimate and lovely for my hubby and I. xoxo Jenna
Great advice! A wedding is so much better when it's all about the couple.
Really good advice! I completely agree that you have to make your wedding your own by having details that match your personality.
amazing advice as always!!
This is a beautifully written post! Everything you said is so authentic and real! You answered a question that many stumble upon when planning their wedding! I'm sure I'll revert back to the post when it comes time for my big day! : )
I love the idea of a wedding weekend! Getting to spend all that time with the people I love most would mean much more to me than table settings or dessert buffets.
Love these photos! Especially because they are of my good friend :)
Ghost chairs- I'm obsessed with them!
I tell Brides to follow their hearts without worrying about what is trendy &/or overdone. Infuse your day with your personalities (yes, don't forget the Groom!) & the day will be YOURS.
I've been bookmarking ideas and tips that strike my fancy for my big day.
I see so many trends that are starting to not be so unique anymore, but it still doesn't deter me from liking such things.
For now it's mere research, what can I say, I like to prepare! Hopefully, I'll have a better idea when M pops the question. :)
Rhi, I love the post and I totally understand how easy it is to follow "trends". Remember the shabby chic trend? I loved it but once you see it over and over again {yes I understand the mason jar overload…I like it but again it becomes a trend} it loses it's "oomph" so to speak. As a wedding planner I always try to take what a bride/couple may want or like and make it their own. I love being able to do that. The idea of having an unconventional reception is perfect. Whether it be in a unique venue or it is a cocktail receptions or brunch reception, or even breakfast at night…so many ways to make your wedding uniquely yours. Great post, xo
You just made me smile since I am having a Sunday evening, "cocktail" style dinner reception & no wedding party :)
Most excited about having an awesome food station dinner & desert set up!
i just met with our wedding planner last night and some of the details I really wanted to do, we just didn't have the time or money to do them. I'm still looking for fun and inexpensive ways to make the days ours and what i have done so far I'm really happy with, but i think every bride wonders if it's enough.

Texas State Board of Education – Drop the "heroic" description of the Alamo defenders.
Texas State Board of Education advisory panel strongly suggests removing the "heroic" description of the people who fought at Alamo, TX.
From FoxNews.com:
The social studies curriculum for seventh graders in Texas learning about the Alamo could reportedly face some new changes, at least one of which has drawn the ire of the governor.
Removing the word "heroic" to describe those who protected the Alamo was among the items included in a report penned by an advisory panel to the State Board of Education on how to structure the curriculum, Dallas News reported on Friday.
As it stands now, curriculum phrasing of the topic is the "siege of the Alamo and all of the heroic defenders who gave their lives there," according to the outlet.

Sedlak client Ascena Retail Group recently held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the formal opening of its expanded Shared Services Complex, which houses a 750,000 sq. ft. distribution center.
Sedlak's system design, procurement and project management services helped DSW increase store replenishment six-fold and double productivity at its Columbus DC.
Only ten years ago, the Internet and distribution were considered a relatively new partnering.
Blame it on the Internet. Blame it on Amazon. Whatever the reason, there is no debate that shoppers have different expectations today than in the past and that retailers are being forced to rethink how they interact with shoppers.
Despite their importance, successful implementation of warehouse management systems (WMS) is seldom fully realized in highly automated distribution centers.
As e-commerce continues its rapid growth into virtually every market sector, retailers are anxious to expand their presence online to capture this market share. Between 2006 and 2010, global online retail sales grew by 16.3 percent annually, according to Global Online Retail 2011, published by Datamonitor.
The recent introduction of several goods-to-person order fulfillment systems calls for a thorough understanding of their potential fit into any logistics operation.
On April 24 in Hackleburg, Alabama groundbreaking ceremonies were held on the site where VF Corporation's plant was destroyed when a tornado ripped through the town on April 27, 2011. The VF Wrangler plant is Hackleburg's largest employer.
Read Jeff Graves' recent article in which he outlines critical advantages of independent logistics consultants over system integrators.
Whether staying in your current building or moving to another, there are things you can do to maximize the return on your improvement investment.

Here's a roundup of recent changes in the Sioux Falls-area business community.
Black Iron Railyard will redevelop four of the 10 acres that the city acquired from BNSF Railway on the east side of downtown. The first phase will include a six-story building combining commercial and residential space. According to an agreement between the city and the developers, the work must begin by June 2019.
Move Boutique has opened at 6905 S. Louise Ave. The store offers dance wear, yoga and fitness apparel in a wide range of sizes for men, women and girls. There's also a full line of dance shoes. It's open daily.
A personal chef business that launched earlier this year is gaining traction with a focus on special diet and allergy-friendly meals. Ellen Doerr of Chef Ellen: Personal Chef Services meets with clients to build a menu that provides 20 portions. She does the grocery shopping, cooks in the client's home, packages the meals with reheating instructions and cleans up.
A Sioux Falls mom has turned the slumber parties she created for her children into a business. Erika Boen of Wild Child Slumber Adventures sets up individual-size tents in a customer's house, decorates the area and packs up everything after the party. Wild Child also offers an outdoor tent package.
Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant, 121 N. Indiana Ave., is closed for vacation through Aug. 31, according to a sign on the door.
Galaxy Gaming is building a new location near 39th Street and Mayfair Drive that's expected to be ready in the winter.

How to Promote Your Blog Challenge and Get 300+ Participants
We are on day 3 of the 15 Day Blog Makeover Challenge, and it's been quite an adventure so far.
I've connected with so many amazing bloggers who are working on improving their blogs. The community in my Facebook group is very supportive of each other and every time I see the bloggers giving each other feedback, it reminds me why I love blogging.
But how did this all come together?
If you've ever thought about creating an event like this, or if you're just curious on how I put it together, read on as I take you behind the scenes of the weeks leading up to the challenge.
Planning the Challenge
I wanted to do a blogging challenge for a number of reasons:
- I love teaching, and I saw a blogging challenge as a great opportunity for teaching an enthusiastic group of bloggers.
- I believe that learning happens most effectively not just teacher to student, but between students who are all learning the same thing, and I thought a challenge would be a great place for that learning to happen.
- I wanted to build relationships with lots of bloggers and expand my reach.
- I thought a blogging challenge would also be a great opportunity for growing the community in my Facebook group.
Why a blog makeover challenge?
There are lots of challenges out there that give writing prompts and encourage bloggers to write a post every day . These are great, and they provide a framework that really helps lots of bloggers.
But I wanted to do something different, something you don't always come across. Thus, the idea of the Blog Makeover Challenge.
I know that blogging can be very overwhelming, and things like choosing fonts or formatting posts correctly often get lost in the shuffle. I wanted to provide an easy way for bloggers to improve their blogs in small daily chunks.
I didn't have the entire challenge written out when I started promoting it.
I created an outline of what I planned to cover, and figured that I could plan the rest once some people started signing up.
Promoting the Challenge
The Landing Page
All of my promotional efforts involved getting people onto my landing page, which you can see here.
- The main components of the landing page are:
- Speaking to the reader's pain points
- Explaining how the challenge works
- Answering questions and objections that might come up
- Giving a few specifics about the challenge
Throughout the page, I included buttons to sign up.
My 2 main promotional strategies for getting people to the landing page were Facebook and Pinterest ads.
Facebook Ads
I had just bought the Hungry JPEG's June font bundle, and I was really into these beautiful watercolor splotches that came with the bundle. Each of the ads was simple and was meant to hint at the benefits of the challenge in an interesting way:
For the first few days of the challenge, I used 4 different ads, but when it became clear that 2 of them were performing much better than others, I dropped the 2 ads that weren't working as well and just used the top 2.
The top 2 ads:
I imported my current email list and then created a "Lookalike Audience." I then narrowed the parameters a little bit. That was my target audience.
For more on creating custom audiences in Facebook, watch the video below.
Facebook ad results:
Pinterest Promoted Pin
For Pinterest, I promoted one pin for 10 days before the challenge.
The pin:
The results
I also promoted the challenge to my current list, in Twitter chats, and on Google+
My goal was to get 200 participants. As of today, 308 people have signed up.
You may be wondering why I paid around $200 to promote a free challenge.
Here's why:
Because building a blog – or any online business – is about building relationships and sharing your expertise.
You can't build a business without an audience. And sometimes, you have to spend a little money to find your people.
Up until now, I've been getting eyes on my blog through sharing on Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter. And I was averaging about 3–5 email sign ups per day. Not bad for a blog that is about 6 months old.
But I wanted to reach more people. And it worked.
During the 10 days leading up to the challenge, I averaged email 30 sign ups per day.
I didn't just get a bunch of names and email addresses from those sign ups. Many participants reached out to me personally by emailing me to ask me for help with their blogs.
And many more are in the Facebook group, sharing their learning and supporting each other every day. The challenge has created an environment that I know bloggers need – a place for them to connect and feel like they are not alone. So for me, it was totally worth it.
So what can you take away from all of this?
- If you want to create a blog challenge, understand your purpose first.
- Be thoughtful about your challenge and decide how to make it different from the opportunities that are already out there.
- Design your promotional stuff in a way that gets people's attention.
- Don't be afraid to spend some money to build your audience.
I'd love to have you in the 15 Day Blog Makeover Challenge! Click here to sign up.

The public response to the Dunedin City Council-NZ Transport Agency proposal to install three roundabouts in Green Island has been positive so far.
DCC transportation safety team leader Hjarne Poulsen said about 50 submissions had been received on the proposal, all but one being in favour.
Other feedback is expected from the Saddle Hill Community Board and other local groups.
"Some people have suggested a few minor tweaks or alternatives as well," Mr Poulsen said.
People have until tomorrow to give feedback on the plans, which include the roundabouts, installing new traffic islands and changing kerbs to narrow the road at intersections.
Mr Poulsen said roundabouts were the preferred option for the busy intersections, which were under increasing pressure from rising traffic volumes in Mosgiel, Green Island and surrounding suburbs.
"The proposed design will make the area safer and improve the flow of traffic," he said.
Two of the roundabouts, which would connect to the motorway off-ramp and on-ramp, would be funded by the NZTA.
The DCC would fund the roundabout at the intersection of Brighton Rd and Main South Rd.
The total cost of the project was expected to be $750,000 and work would start in 2018, Mr Poulsen said.
To give your feedback on the proposal, email firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 477-4000 by tomorrow.

Do I Need a Tooth Pulled?
- Posted on: Sep 30 2018
We recently saw a patient who came in with quite a tooth. During a rock climbing incident, they fell and landed safely. But, not everything ended well. A piece of equipment came down and hit our patient in the mouth, leaving them missing half of one of their front teeth. Though they seemed to have calmed down after the incident, we completely understand why they wanted to make a quick appointment with us. There's nothing like missing part of a tooth to strike a little extra stress into your day!
Keep reading to learn about when you may need a tooth pulled, and what we can do to help when you have a severely damaged tooth.
Tooth Extraction
Usually, if the damage is severe and impacts the root or the pulp of the tooth, it is unlikely that the tooth can continue living. A damaged root generally leads to a dark, dead tooth that is more brittle and prone to breaking in the future. Removing the tooth is best to prevent pain and keep the health of your mouth intact.
Local anesthesia is used during tooth extraction usually, so the area feels no discomfort as the tooth is removed. If the damage is severe, there is more than one tooth that needs removal, or you have an impacted tooth, then general anesthesia might be a better option.
Dental Implants
A missing tooth may spell trouble as time goes by. A whistle may develop around a missing tooth, and you may find yourself unable to chew certain foods that you like to eat. Your jaw bone density may also decrease over time, due to the loss of the tooth above it.
Implants can help maintain the health of your mouth by encouraging your jaw alignment, speech, and eating habits to stay right where they are. Replacing the tooth as soon as it is gone can help prevent complications from a missing tooth.
Schedule a Consultation
If you have recently encountered an issue with your teeth, it's important to see us before too much time goes by. Treatment is easiest and the best results come from quick action. If you want more information about your options, contact us by calling (480) 539-7979 to schedule a consultation today.

Although the advent of e-readers and smartphones changed the way we read, it didn't change where we read. In a perfect world, we'd all have personal libraries in which to lose ourselves for hours amid rows of leather-bound books.
In reality, we're lucky to have an armchair with good lighting. But you don't to be a millionaire to have a pleasant in-home space to consume books. Feast your eyes on our favorite reading nooks from Pinterest.
Reading cave under the stairs: There's a good chance the space underneath your stairs currently consists of a closet or is simply a wall you've never given much thought. Well, think again. With a little elbow grease, this could be the coziest spot in your house. A built-in bench, or just a repurposed coffee table with throw pillows, makes a perfect reading perch. Add in a small bookshelf and the space really starts to take shape. Lighting is the biggest challenge in this nook, as it is window- and outlet-less. If hiring an electrician isn't in your budget, an extension cord run under the carpet or behind the bench will power a lamp.
The instant bay window: Would that we all had an expansive bay window in our homes. But fear not if all you have is a regular ol' windowpane. With these plans from plansnow.com, you can convert your run-of-the-mill-window into an enviable reading space. Seating below the window takes advantage of great natural lighting, and the shelf space is nothing to scoff at either, with plenty of room for books and décor.
The cozy converted closet: This idea is pretty genius – for those who have a closet to spare, that is. The snug space gives the reader a cocoon-esque literary experience. Because it is, essentially, a mini-library, this space is perfect for pint-sized readers, but it can be built to accommodate adults. Happily, built-in lighting is almost guaranteed, shelves are easy to add, and you have a choice of seating, ranging from a bench or chair to even a hammock.
The natural reading nook: In Houston, as long as it's not June, July or August, outdoor reading is a delightful experience. Shade is always a premium, and this reading nook lets Mother Nature do the work. Suitable around any large tree trunk, this wraparound bench should be covered in an outdoor-friendly fabric. By adding back support, this space goes from temporary seating to the perfect place to kick back and knock out 100 pages.
Pint-sized paradise: While the converted closest reading space is amenable to children, this nook is truly child's play. There's no need to bother with actual furniture when the kids would rather lie on the floor, anyway. Install a curtain rod six to eight feet from a window or wall, attach shelves to the wall, throw in a couple of pillows or a bean bag chair, and – voila! – a reading nook is born.

PVC Sports Flooring how to become a low-carbon environmental protection pioneer
PVC Sports Flooring that: many flooring companies in the brand promotion in high-profile claim that they are "green", "no formaldehyde" products, but in fact did not really do low-carbon environmental protection, the so-called "low carbon", "environmental" more Is a hype.

PVC sports floor of the environmental protection, first reflected in the floor above the substrate. Whether it is for health considerations, or because of the concern about environmentally friendly products, consumers increasingly biased in favor of environmentally friendly flooring made of flooring products. And the current market, the particle board, MDF and other plates have reached environmental standards, it is difficult to meet the needs of consumers. Which requires the development of the standard rules of the system to urge the flooring industry, the healthy development of low-carbon road.

(Photo Credit: BVI Platinum News) Clifton John at court on May 28.
30-year-old Clifton John, also known as Cliff, was taken before Magistrate Christilyn Benjamin on May 28 in relation to three charges that stem from an altercation with a woman in Virgin Gorda. John is facing the charges of threatening language, criminal damage, and assault causing actual bodily harm.
The court heard that the complainant, who owns a bar in North Sound, Virgin Gorda was in a relationship with the defendant.
The incident is said to have occurred on May 24 when the defendant was at the complainant's bar and observed the complainant and a female friend playing domino in the company of two men, one being the friend's boyfriend.
It was explained that the complainant and her friend went to the bathroom and upon her return, the defendant asked to speak to her. The court heard that the defendant then asked the complainant what she was discussing with her friend.
Crown Counsel Annjel Solomon told the court that the defendant then told the complainant, "You must not lie to me or else I would f#@k you up!"
At some point, he then took a knife and held it to the woman's throat. This caused the complainant to call out to her friend for help.
The friend was allegedly pushed when she came to her friend's rescue, and the friend's boyfriend, who rushed to the rescue, began arguing with the defendant.
It was stated the complainant and her friend began to leave for the police station and on the way out, the women heard noises which were later noted by the staff to be the sounds of the television and speakers being thrown by the defendant.
When police later questioned the defendant, he denied the allegations.
In court on Tuesday, John wasn't pleaded. In addition to bail, he was ordered to report three days a week to the Virgin Gorda Police Station, surrender his travel documents and have no contact with the complainant.
He will be returning to court on July 30.

How To Tell If You Need To Call In A Professional Roofer
Posted on: 21 June 2017
The last thing you want is for roofing problems to go unnoticed. Therefore, you will need to make sure that you are always remaining as proactive as possible when it comes to looking for anything that might be going wrong with your roof. The sooner you notice the problems, the sooner you can call in a roofing expert so you can avoid the possible problems that will surely arrive after having a bad roof for too long. Just take a little time to read through the following signs of roofing trouble for more insight.
Shingles Are No Longer Flat
The shingles on your roof should lay completely flat. They should not be curling up in the corners or lifting up on the sides any. Step away from your house so you can get a good look at the roof. Use a pair of binoculars or the zoom feature on your smart phone camera to get a good look at the shingles on the roof. You could also grab a ladder and inspect the shingles up close and personal if you are not afraid of heights. If you notice problems with the way the shingles are lying on the roof, you will wan to call for a skilled roofing contractor. It is only a matter of time before your roof is hit with winds that are strong enough to completely remove the shingles.
Your Gutter Has Roofing Pieces In It
As roofing shingles age, little asphalt granules will fall off of the shingles and roll into your gutters. While some of them might wash away through the downspout with heavy downpours of rain water, you are likely to see a lot of the granules left in the gutters. Therefore, you will want to check for these little pieces of roofing shingles each time you go to clean out the gutters so they do not become clogged.
The Roof Looks Wavy
Your roof should be perfectly flat at all times. If you have noticed that it is starting to develop a wave to it, you will want to consider this a sign that there is an immediate need for a qualified professional roofing contractor. The change in the shape of your roof is usually a sign that there has been a significant amount of water damage. This changes the shape of the wood beneath the shingles, as it swells up and warps. The roof will not go back to its original state and there will be a major risk of mold developing. Therefore, you will want to have a reputable roofer completely replace your roof.
By tending to roofing problems as soon as you notice them, you will be able to protect your home.

For Release: Monday, 11:45 a.m. - The Alabama Development Office
MONTGOMERY – The passage of the 2009 Alabama Entertainment Act, which allowed for film incentives, has brought significant growth to the state's film industry.
The Alabama Film Office (AFO) reports that in 2011 they received 112 inquiries for assistance from film productions. These requests ranged from big budget feature films, independent film makers and producers from around the world scouting locations in all parts of Alabama. The inquiries resulted in 18 commercials, 7 television series, 5 films and 4 music videos being shot in Alabama. This does not include countless episodic network shows such as "Extreme Home Makeover", "Wife Swap", "Hoarders", "Dirty Jobs", "Storm Chasers" and even the "Today Show".
In 2011, production companies spent approximately $22.5M in Alabama and more than $5.6M was reimbursed to these companies through the incentives, according to the Alabama Film Office.
In the first quarter of 2012, an estimated $6M in incentives are already committed and it is expected that the $10M allowance for this year will be reached. "We hope the legislature will agree to increase our incentives and pass HB243 so that we will see more production and continue to build the crew base necessary to support this industry" says Alabama Film Manager Kathy Faulk.
The benefits of the 2009 Act were felt as The Hallmark movie "A Smile as Big as the Moon" was filmed at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville. "Smile", a true story based on special needs children attending Space Camp, was seen by 6.8 million viewers on ABC and 7.9 million the following week on the Hallmark Channel. "Almost 15 million viewers heard about Huntsville and Space Camp for two hours while watching this movie", said Faulk, "this is great exposure for our state and the Huntsville area".
The 2010 amendment to the Film Incentives Act brought the addition of television series which resulted in numerous reality shows locating to Alabama. These shows included the Country Music Television (CMT) series "Sweet Home Alabama" which is currently airing its third season and showcases beautiful sunsets and southern hospitality in Fairhope and the Mobile area. Also the History Channel's "Big Shrimpin'" filmed along the gulf coast and the National Geographic Channel series "Rocket City Rednecks" filmed in the Decatur and Huntsville areas. In its first season, "Sweet Home Alabama" was the highest rated series in the history of the CMT network.
The success and growth of this industry has also contributed to a leading global payroll service company, "Entertainment Partners," locating to the Birmingham area. In working with the AFO employees, EP developed an interest in Alabama. With offices in ten states, EP is a highly respected company in the film industry and sees great potential for Alabama in the film industry.
In the 2012 legislative session, HB243 was introduced by Representative Terri Collins of Decatur (companion bill SB290 by Senator Gerald Dial of Lineville) which will amend the Entertainment Act of 2009 by increasing the film incentives for the per project amount. Currently the maximum amount that is allowed is $10M and this bill raises that limit to $20M. The bill also increases by $5M per year the amount that the state can reimburse.
'We believe this phased-in approach to increasing the incentive structure will attract larger films and more TV series which create jobs in our state," said Alabama Development Office Director Greg Canfield. "Alabama's film incentives are more conservative than most states, but still allow for small and independent films, television series, documentaries and commercials," said Canfield.
A CPA certified audit is required upon completion of a project and a standard Alabama tax return must be filed before reimbursements are allowed. Production companies must also register with the Secretary of State, which is not required by most states.
The Alabama Film Incentives includes the following:
· A qualified production company is entitled to a 25% refundable tax credit for all production expenditures in Alabama. Payroll wages to residents of Alabama earn 35%.
· A 25% refundable tax credit for qualified production of a music video, provided that the production expenditures must equal or exceed $50,000 and do not exceed $200,000.
· A 25% refundable tax credit for a soundtrack production used in a motion picture, provided that the production expenditures must equal or exceed $50,000 and do not exceed $300,000.
AFO continues to scout locations and process incentive requests for producers researching Alabama for their projects in 2012. Several large projects are currently looking at the state and ADO and AFO are hopeful the increase in incentives will help entice them to locate here. "Alabama is finally receiving recognition as a serious competitor in this industry," said Canfield.

text: News & blogs News Looks like we don't forget our toothbrush after all! 9 June 2015 As nine in ten of us finalise our overseas holiday plans, new research reveals that it's a toothbrush which is the most important item we take with us. In a poll of the most important items to take on holiday, a toothbrush brushed off the challenge of holiday essentials such as sun-cream, sunglasses, a camera and swimwear, to take top spot. And that toothbrush might be needed because almost one in ten of us rank sweets for the journey as a holiday must-have, with cigarettes favoured by one in 20.1 With more than 58 per cent of Brits paying visits to overseas destinations last year,2 Chief Executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, Dr Nigel Carter OBE, offered holiday-goers some advice on how to care for their teeth while lapping up the sun. Dr Carter said: "Holidays often mean we end up snacking throughout the day which might be convenient, particularly if we have young children or are on an all-inclusive package, but the frequency of doing so can be harmful to their teeth and have lasting implications. These foods and drinks are potentially okay in moderation but they should be kept to mealtimes only. "The habit of snacking and grazing in between meals is one that continues to creep into our society. What many of us do not realise is every time we eat or drink anything sugary, our teeth are under acid attack for up to one hour. "Consuming too many acidic foods, as well as eating more sugary foods and drinks, traditionally associated with summer-time and holidays, can potentially increase the risk of dental erosion and tooth decay. Risks of dental erosion and tooth decay are also increased during the holiday season as eating-habits and patterns often change. It is more likely that normal meal-times are disrupted during the holidays and snacking and grazing increases, which can cause multiple-attacks on teeth throughout the day. "Many summer foods like vinaigrettes, olives, red wine and ciders are very acidic. Enamel is the hard, protective coating of the tooth, and if it is worn away, the dentine underneath becomes exposed and teeth can look discoloured and become sensitive. Sugars from foods like ice-cream, seaside rock and fizzy drinks stimulate the formation of acids that attack the teeth and destroy the enamel. Tooth decay causes cavities and results in the need for fillings. "Eating and drinking naturally weakens the enamel on your teeth, and as a result, the British Dental Health Foundation recommends eating three square meals a day instead of having seven to ten 'snack attacks'. If we do snack between meals, it is important we choose foods and drinks that do not contain sugar, limiting the amount of time our mouth is at risk. Chewing on sugar-free gum containing Xylitol may also help reduce the risk of tooth decay." The results of the survey have been released as part of National Smile Month, the UK's largest oral health campaign. Taking place from 18 May to 18 June, the charity campaign sponsored by some of the UK's leading household names. Platinum sponsors Oral B, Wrigley and Invisalign, are joining the campaign which aims to bring home the importance of developing and maintaining good oral health habits. References 1.

Iranian Court Suspends Zoroastrian City Councilor
Brief history of Ashraf City
Camp Ashraf, or Ashraf City as it was widely called, was home to approximately 3,500 members of the main Iranian opposition group, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI). The city is located in one of Iraq's largest provinces, Diyala, and is approximately 80km northeast of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. It is 70km to the east of the Iran-Iraq border. Upon the PMOI's move to Iraq, the organization set up a number of bases along the Iran-Iraq border. What is now known as Ashraf City was one of those bases. Ashraf City took its name from Ashraf Rajavi, a well known political prisoner during the time of the Shah. She was amongst the last group of political prisoners released from the…

There is fun game going on in the blogging world where a blogger nominates another blogger to share 7 facts about herself. If you get nominated you have you give a shout out to the person who nominated you, share 7 facts about yourself, and then nominate some of your own favorite or inspiring bloggers.
My friend Jessica from Pig & Dac has nominated me to share 7 facts about myself. I'm pretty excited about this since this is the first time I get "nominated" by one of my blogger friends to do something. Jessica, has been a friend from before my blogging days but was one of the people to inspire me to start my own blog. She's smart, funny and a great mom that I can "talk" to for hours and never get bored. She has a great blog, so make sure you stop by and check it out!
So, here it is, 7 facts about me:
- I love traveling: I've been traveling since I was in elementary school – thanks to my parents. I feel like I need to travel at least one time a year to keep my soul happy. I just love the smell a new country/city has – it is always unique. I love feeling lost in an unknown city, experience a new place and their people. I love how a city looks when you're seeing it for the first time – there is spark to it. I have to admit, every time I travel I feel like I could move to that place. Eventually the feeling wears off but traveling is one of those things that bring me great joy.
- I have a hard time accepting my body: This always comes as a surprise when I tell people, although maybe not so much anymore since I've been so open about it. My dad is a coach and both of my parents are very fit, they always pressured me in some way to be in good shape. I've taken care of myself and worked out a lot, especially in my 20's but even when I was very fit I felt I could be fitter, skinnier and look overall better. Since becoming a mother I've gained the most weight I've ever gained in my life and I've had a hard time losing it, which makes me feel not so good about myself. This is something I don't want my daughter to learn, so I'm working on accepting myself but I also don't want to stay this way so it's something I struggle with right now.
- I am addicted to sweets: I've always had a sweet tooth but in my 20's I was able to kill it somehow or at least reduce my sweet cravings by a lot. However, once I started nursing I started cravings sweets and I still crave them on daily basis. I try not to give in every time but sometimes I'm not strong enough. I really enjoy eating them, which doesn't help! Haha! So I can openly say I am addicted to sweets and even though I can suppress it, I think I will always crave them.
- I have an obsession with baby carriers and diaper bags: I'm not sure how this began but once I had my daughter all of my focus shifted on her and part of being with her is having things that make my mommy life easier. Diaper bags and baby carriers are the two things I use on a daily basis and are a must in my life but it's something I love so much that I have more than one. I have about 6 diaper bags, 2 soft structure carriers and 3 ring slings. Oops! Haha! And I limit myself, if not I would probably have more. Haha!
- I've always had a dream of owning a very successful business: This has been a dream I've had since my early 20's – the problem is that I'm not sure what kind of business to have. Haha! I run a business with my father which does well but not as good as to support my family on my own. I'm lucky because I have a husband that supports us but I would love to be able to do that too. Right now my focus is on my daughter and I'm sure it will be this way until I'm done having kids (and beyond) but I'm hoping that someday in the future I will have a great business idea that I'll be able to pursue.
- I love sleeping in: I know a lot of people like to sleep in but to me, it's love. Before I had my daughter I would sleep in every time I could. There is something refreshing about waking up just because your body is ready to be up. But since having my daughter, this has become a luxury. Most days I'm wide awake at 6am and ready to start my day. Luckily my amazing husband plays with my daughter some mornings and I get to sleep in, not as much as I used to but enough to make my day! 🙂 The best gift anyone can ever give me is to play with my daughter in the morning so I can sleep in. Haha!
- I learned how to drive when I was 29 (last year): I don't think many people know this and it's always a shocker. I've never really wanted to drive and never had the interest in learning. I was used to taking cabs back when I lived in Costa Rica (they're much cheaper than in the US) or getting rides from my friends. When I got married my husband would drive us everywhere or I would use the metro – one of the perks of living in DC. Last year, after my husband insisting A LOT that I have to learn how to drive, I learned. Now that I drive I have no idea how I made it this long without driving. It's definitively made my life much easier and with kids, driving is a must.
Now to nominate some of my favorite blogger friends:
I love reading other blogs and have quite a few I follow, so forgive me if I don't put you on this list. It doesn't mean I don't love your blog. I'm just trying to narrow down my list or I could go on for hours.
Mom/Me: Is a blog that one of my mommy friends started last year. She is a working mom trying to figure out how to jungle work and home life (I think she does a great job). She has a wonderful son and her posts always have great resources backing what she's sharing about.
Mama Thyme: Is another blog from a friend of mine. She's also a working mom and one that loves to cook. She shares lots of recipes in her blog, hence the name, but she also shares some of the activities she does with her daughter (which are pretty creative). So if you're looking for healthy and easy recipes, visit her blog!
The deliberate mom: I know she was also nominated by Pig & Dac but I just have to nominate her too. She is one of the sweetest bloggers I met. She really takes her time to get to know you. I'm not even sure how she manages to do it with all of the followers she has but I feel like I know her. Her blog is filled with great posts and parenting advice. She's a homeschooling mom and also blogs about it. Check it out!
Humble in a Heartbeat: This is one of the newest blogs I started following but I love it. This mama always has great advice to share…and almost every time, she blogs about something I was wondering about. She also studied finances so a lot of her posts are about price comparison and budget.. 🙂 Her husband is from Argentina and I'm fascinated by marriages with people from other countries (probably because I am in one). Don't forget to stop by her blog!
Our Life on a Budget: I love this blog because it feel very genuine to me. This mom is so sweet and she blogs about her mommy life and has the most adorable daughter. She's a follower of Christ so if you're one too you will like this blog even more.
The Contented Wife: I feel like this mom opens up about her feeling and being a mommy on her posts. I love it because I can resonate with what she writes. Her blog is about being a stay at home mom and all that it implies. My favorite posts are the ones about motherhood. Definitively check out her blog.
Styled by Jess: This mom is very stylish and so is her family. I love this blog because it inspires me to get out of my mommy uniform (jeans and a t-shirt). I love her post about life, recipes and crafts. It makes me wish I was craftier!
So now it's your turn: give a shout out to the person who nominated you, share 7 facts about yourself, and then nominate some of your own favorite or inspiring bloggers. Can't wait to read all about you!

How it currently feels after each patch
March - last edited March
I hate to be "that guy"... the one I generally make fun of and such for being a whiney, rage-y, salt spreading d-bag, but I'm literally minutes away from demanding a refund for Anthem, and shitposting the hell out of this game on every single post I can find on every single outlet I can access...
This just isn't fair... they are "fixing" legendary loot drop rates before taking care of general stability issues, and bugs literally making the game unplayable for a smaller portion of the fan base.
It's a loot grind type game, and I cannot loot grind, but let's make it easier to get high tier loot!
Won't be playing this particular dumpster fire for a while
Same. Ever since 1.0.3 patch all random drops are green and white in all gameplay modes on gm1 and gm2. Didn't test gm3. I'm on level 30.
However, the one MW at the end of a stronghold or legendary contract will still drop and occasionally a few purples with it.
All random drops from chests and enemy kills are consistently green or white. Kind of a game killer.
Xbox one. Uninstalled and reinstalled game and the problem persisted.
@BlackRath87 I feel you man. My bro has no problems with the game and he tells me about the masterworks he's getting on random drops and chests. Sometimes legendary and im just like "damn that could be me right now but nope." Honestly hope they compensate us with all the lost legendary and masterworks we missed. It doesn't feel rewarding enough to wait till the end of boss fights. Especially with how much time it takes to complete a stronghold / legendary contract on GM 2.
@EA_Atic on March 19 there is a 2 hours maintenance for the game , is there any possibility that is getting this white and green loot bug fix or we just have to keep waiting I don't know for couple months
@ChaoticVillain94 Compensate us ?! At this point I think that we are going to be lucky if they fix this bug which I honestly don't think that they are going to
thank again to come back to us as soon as possible about this issue.
It really does break the game and make it very frustrating to play.
Anthem seems to collect a lots of bad things and I hope you will keep it up to raise and make the game as good as we can expected from a studio like yours.
March - last edited March
@Tamuhelet @ i know man this is the most annoying * ever , they keep talking about updates and new content and nobody have said anything about this in a week anywhere, at this point I'm just thinking that we just flush 60 dollars down the toilet

Microraptor Gliding Coloring Page
Microraptor, a "four-winged" dinosaur, is unique in it's flight posture, with a tucked-leg and "hindwing" or "buttfan" spread out in a biplane style below and behind the "main" wings, which are not advanced enough to fly as normal wings but good at gliding down, perhaps. The background was meant to simulate the animal was in the air, but I guess it's feet no on anything can do that, too. This is black and white picture of Microraptor Gliding. Right now, you can download to your computer, or print it out then color it.

I'm trying to overcome a fear I've had for a few years now. It's tough but JK Rowling was definitely right when she said "anything' possible if you've got enough nerve" and I think if you're determined enough and persevere, you can overcome your fear.
I won't go into lots of detail about my fear because the beginning of it was pretty icky and I can't imagine you'll really want to know why I became scared of germs XD. I know I'm still not completely cured (for want of a better word) however I've sorted things out in my mind now and I've realised really how irrational my fear actually is. I think having a deep think about why you're scared and if it's rational is a good starting point to overcoming a fear – if you think that a fear of growing up or not being able to get signal on your phone, for instance, is rational, then you need to have another think. Hard as it is, try and see your fear through someone else's perspective – would they feel the same? So do you need to?
Germs are everywhere; there's no way of avoiding them really. Obviously there's a line between being hygienic and being a germaphobe, and at first I tried to convince myself that i was washing my hands 'just' to be hygienic, but after a while I started to realise that, no, actually, I was scared of germs. To me, this felt like the biggest step to conquering my fear – admitting that I had one.
You may be thinking, "yeah, I know I'm afraid of … but that doesn't mean I'm not afraid of it" – trust me, I know!! Working up to beating the fear is a long and hard process, but time and effort will pay off. Just do things a little at a time to build up your confidence, and soon you'll be able to make bigger steps of progress.
Do you have any fears? Please let me know in the comments below! How are you planning to overcome it? Again, let me know and just keep on trying! Fears aren't the end of the world although they can take control of your life, so just take the time you need to put things into perspective and sort it out. Sending lots of love and support, and if you ever need any motivation or just a little chat, feel free to comment and I'll reply as soon as possible xx

Posted by: Through The K Hole5 April 2013
I remember everything about that week, every single detail. It was one of those weeks that sears itself onto your cortex and then burrows deep down into your nervous system.
I was a junior doctor at the time and it was my first run of nights. My life was no longer my own, it was scripted by the hospital, and my existence had been reduced to minutes on the clock. From 10pm until 7am I ran from one end of the hospital to the other, I chased down corridors, cut across the wet car park and on into the next block. I bounded up flights of stairs rather than waiting for the lift and I John-Wayned my tourniquets, clipping one on either side of my waist. I was motivated by the unrelenting fear that every single doctor in that hospital was better than me and that sooner or later I was going to accidentally kill somebody.
The whole week I was made to feel useful. I syringed blood and stabbed arteries, smoothed in venflons and lubed up catheters. I ran with sweat during CPR and clerked in hundreds of patients. I was spurred on by the wind and the bleep and as the week wore on my emotions worked themselves free, rising to the surface of the skin like a foreign body.
During that week I learnt that one of the most valuable things you can do as a doctor isn't to help the living but to help the dying. And the most important thing for someone who is dying is to get them home. And I think, in a small way, I may have helped to do just that.
The ward called me out just before 6am. Emily had taken a turn for the worse, she was palliative and not for recuss. They wondered if I could come and take a look at her; I think they felt sorry for her.
She was in a side room and I read the notes in the early morning hush. Seemingly nothing more could be done. We sat together and she asked me where I was from. I said Leicestershire in the midlands, she knew it well. She asked me if I knew of Trent Lock, I said I did. Apparently she'd grown up there and when she was a child it was always summer and she would always wear the same white dress. She would go on walks with her mother and hold tightly onto her hand. And then she held tightly onto mine.
We walked along the river together, remembering the buildings and the trees, she remembered things as they were when she was a child. Then she seemed to let go and walked off by herself, up the stone flight of stairs that led up the embankment and away. She died not soon after. But at least she'd made it home.
It wasn't the venflons or the drugs or the machinery of medicine which had made the difference. It was my hand. And as the profession's hands are bound I hope to be able to hang onto that idea, just as Emily, on that winter morning, had hung on to me.

My relative will have no idea which of the ten GPs from the group practice will be there for her..probably nobody she has ever met before
What a beautiful article - it brought a lump to my throat. Despite the increasing pressure on GP's and all clinical staff, it really is (at times) the simple human kindness that makes a difference. And all at no cost (to keep the NHS financiers happy).

It must be so hard to have everybody looking at you wondering if you are prengnant...a few more weeks and you can tell the world!ReplyDelete
About the lack of symptoms when my wife was pregnant she didn't have any symptoms at all, we had a BFN and dind't do a beta so we didn't even know she was pregnant until she was about 8 weeks, crazy isn't it?Replies
im not sure if its hard per say, or just weird. we're all so trained not to say anything until we're out of the super risky window/first trimester. with everyone knowing or at least having a clue, at least we know we'll have a lot of support whatever way things turn out.Delete
that is completely nuts about your wife! what a surprise!
ps. we seem to have very similar family planning timing. hope everything is going well for you with the meds!
I am exactly where you're at (like almost literally, considering our dates), and I'm so anxious for my ultrasound today. May both of ours go well and may both of us find out all is well and there's a baby inside. I too sometimes wish I was puking all day, because the non-symptoms can be agonizing. Good luck, lady.ReplyDelete

Hi guys, and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday! Today's all about books to read in one sitting.
Now, when I think about one-sitting reads, I think about feel-good YA contemporaries.
Because as much as I love fantasy, I usually try to pace myself a bit more while reading it and make it last. Contemporaries, on the other hand, depend on the subject matter. Heavy, dark contemporaries dealing with tough subjects take more time to read. Because they're tough and I need time to arm my heart.
But fluffy, adorable, feel-good contemporaries? I INHALE READ THEM. So yes, the books most likely to be read in one sitting by me are the feel-good contemporaries. These are perfect reads for a self-care day. Get a blanket, snacks, drinks and anything else important within arms' reach, settle in, and GO!
